THE GARMENT INDUSTRY’S DEADLIEST DISASTER
A.M. Ahad
This photograph depicts people gathering as rescuers look for survivors and victims at the site of the eight-story Rana Plaza building, which housed several factories that manufactured garments for numerous multinational companies. The building, which was illegally built on top of a former shopping center, collapsed on April 24th, 2013 in Savar, Bangladesh, killing 1,129 and injuring 2,500 people—the deadliest disaster in the history of the garment industry. Injured survivors and the families of those who died are yet to receive their promised compensation in full. Chasing higher profits, many international corporations have outsourced their production to countries with lower labour costs and fewer labour regulations, such as Bangladesh.
The Allard Prize Photography Competition jury selected this photograph for its depiction of the destruction that can be caused by an industry weakened by corruption and weak rule of law as well as the possible negative consequences of global labour outsourcing.

Bits and Pieces, Farming
Sowing a New Path Through Farming
I started attending farm school this fall semester. From the time I can remember, I’ve always had a special connection to the land. I rather camp than stay at a fancy hotel. And when I’m not camping, I like to hike and spend time in the mountains, as far away from the city as I possibly can. Even when I travela, I end up spending most of my time in the countryside of whatever country I am fortunate enough to visit.
When I look back, I can see clearly that my soul has always yearned to be closer to the land. And here I am, at 47, finally answering the call! It’s frightening. I don’t have any experience with farming, except the little I have learned this semester. I have tried growing things in my backyard, and by the grace of nature, somehow stuff grew. TBH, I had no idea what I was doing, but the yearning to touch the soil and have a relationship with her was the driving force.
Now, it’s time to begin to apply all the farming techniques I have learned in the little spaces of land I have. The journey and the real learning begins, now.
We spent the day adding compost to our front yard, which we picked up (6 truckloads) at a local nursery. The compost will help to begin to amend the soil, helping it to thrive with micro organisms, and it will also help to break down all the weeds and grass once we cover it with a silage tarp. More of that to come!

The Continence of Scipio
Posted byrodkersh1948 September 20, 2015 Posted inUncategorized
Scipio was a Roman general who amongst other achievements defeated Hannibal at the battle of Zama. I have shown the painting by Karel van Mander to medical students over the years to explain the meaning of ‘continence’ – it is one of those things that I know I shouldn’t have done – the connection is tenuous and the meaning obscure; yet, I have not been able to stop myself. Perhaps I have a continence problem myself.
The painting shows Scipio following a battle being offered the wife of one of the defeated soldiers; Scipio, although tempted, manages to restrain himself – utilising his continence.
And this is how I start describing the meaning of continence, the fact that it is in many respects at the centre of our interpersonal relationships. Continence has allowed us to live together, to develop cities and cultures, move from villages to towns, and the converse, loss of continence, represents deterioration.
Continence is often referred to as one of the ‘Geriatric Giants,’ a term defined by the Glaswegian Geriatrician, Sir Bernard Isaacs in the 1970’s to represent some of the fundamental challenges of ageing – confusion, falls and immobility the others.
Yet, despite its importance, continence in the 21st Century still receives only lip service from society and medicine; this seemingly trivial condition can be the deciding factor in whether a person can live at home independently or require care. Only last week, I discovered the local service is so stretched that care homes have to weigh their residents’ incontinence pads to determine how many they are allowed.
The other end of the spectrum from incontinence is urinary retention – the inability to empty the bladder; in its early stages this can cause Urinary Tract Infections (or UTIs as I have previously written) – the end-stage is complete inability to empty the bladder which results in fatal renal failure if not addressed.
The treatment for this in men is often medicine to relax their prostate – the main factor in determining their continence. When this fails, for men and women, when any drugs that might contribute to urinary retention or other factors are addressed, we are left with the urinary catheter – a rubber tube that passes through the urethra into the bladder and connects to a bag – usually on the person’s leg or their bed.
Catheters are often an accompaniment of physical decline in older people and can represent part of the progressive failure of the individual. Catheters are inevitably associated with recurrent infections, they reduce a person’s mobility, increasing the likelihood of them falling and are associated with increased length of stay in hospital and even an increased chance of death.
Avoiding catheters is one of the goals of all doctors, particularly those looking after older people.
Continence needs to move from the shadows into the centre of the debate about older people and society, if we can support people better with their continence we can hope to maintain more people living independently, better able to contribute to the society around them and enjoy the benefits of participation and co-production of life.

Note….I’d better stop reading your posts or else I’ll never get to bed 🙂 I find it interesting reading the first (or early) posts written by a long-running blogger and then…….reading their recent posts. Fascinating to see how they’ve developed their writing style and subject matter.
Thanks – not sure whether or how I have developed; I have become easier with spilling into poems I think, and perhaps found writing longer pieces more difficult. Again, as with photos, these mirror both experience of writing as well as what is going on in our lives at the times.

When Boston Almost Lost Commuter Rail
The 1970s was not a good time for rail commuters in Boston. New roadways had opened and several rail lines shut, and those left had anemic schedules. In the 1950s, Commuter Rail was provided by private carriers (the Boston and Maine north of the city, the Boston and Albany—owned by the New York Central—on the Worcester Line and the New Haven elsewhere from South Station) in a manner similar to today on major lines, with less service on some branch lines (nearly all of which have since been abandoned). Many of these timetables from 1952 can be found here. In the late 1940s, South Station handled 125,000 passengers, far more than today. Only Chicago, Philadelphia and New York had similar or larger systems.
Significant cuts came in the 1950s, including the demise of the Old Colony Lines when the Southeast Expressway opened. After beginning to provide subsidies in the 1960s to commuter railroads, the T was in the midst of a many-years-long experiment to figure out how to best fund Commuter Rail, and service was often cut in towns which refused to pay up, leading to closed-door service where trains would bypass stations in a non-paying municipality. (This coincided with upheaval in the rail industry in general, as Penn Central and Boston and Maine both teetered on the brink of insolvency, while still operating the T's Commuter Rail system.) Termini were cut back and on the north side outer sections of rail lines often only had a single trip in the morning and evening (or as the T would say today: "twice a day").
Rail lines, owned by bankrupt freight lines (even the mostly-passenger New Haven had been merged in to the ill-fated Penn Central), fell in to disrepair. Service to South Sudbury was cut in 1971 (49 minutes Sudbury to North Station; try that today), Worcester was dropped in 1975, Bedford (35 minutes to Boston) was mothballed in 1977 and Woburn in 1981. What service remained was often run on a skeleton schedule with only a handful of inbound runs in the morning and outbound in the evening. Ridership and service would better be compared to the ill-fated lines in Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Detroit. No longer was the MBTA in the same league as Metra, SEPTA or the lines serving New York. It was a hair away from disappearing all together.
In the 1980s, however, something changed. The state bought new equipment, rebuilt track and increased the number of trips. By the 1990s, the Southwest Corridor was complete, the Old Colony Lines rebuilt (or, in the case of Kingston, overbuilt), and service reinstated to Worcester, Providence and Newburyport. Lines which saw one train a day in the 1970s (or, at times, zero) had 20, and most weekend service had been reinstated. Ridership responded: while 15,000 passengers boarded trains daily in 1972 (and most of the rest of the decade), by 2000, 60,000 passengers rode the rails each day.
The patterns of this change are interesting. Today (note that current numbers use the median ridership for the past 10 years, based on MBTA Blue Book data to account for variability in passenger counts in single years), about 46,000 passengers use lines radiating from South Station while 26,000 passengers use those from North Station. In 1972, the numbers were much lower, and the ratios reversed: 11,000 passengers used North Station, and fewer than 5,000 used South Station lines. So while North Station has grown significantly in the past 40 years—by 150%—South Station has increased by nearly ten times (1000%). It's hard to imagine how sleepy South Station must have been in the 1970s, as compared to the constant streams of commuters crowding the concourse today.
Line-by-line, even station-by-station, there are dramatic differences in the changes over the years.
Of the top five lines in 1972, four were on the North Side: Haverhill, Eastern Route (Newburyport/Rockport), Lowell, Attleboro and Fitchburg. Today, three of the top five lines are on the South Side: Providence, Eastern, Worcester, Franklin and Lowell. In 1972, the Worcester Line bested only the two-station Woburn spur and the Lexington/Bedford line, both of which were discontinued in the ensuing decade.
In 1972, the Reading Line—the single Haverhill train operated via the Wildcat Line—accounted for more than 20% of Commuter Rail's total ridership. I-93 hadn't yet fully opened to Boston, and the Orange Line ended in Everett rather than Oak Grove. While overall Haverhill ridership has increased, all of the gains have come from the outside of the line; there are fewer passengers at nearly every station from Reading inbound. The Worcester Line, on the other hand, carried just 600 passengers on three rush hour trains. Today it has that many trains per hour at rush hour, each of which carries 600 passengers (or more).
In absolute numbers, the biggest gains have been along the Providence Line and at Salem and Beverly, where several stations have seem gains of more than 1000 riders per day (some of which, like Providence and South Attleboro, had a baseline of zero). Many stations across the system have gained 500 riders a day or more. The inner Haverhill Line and nearby stations on the Woburn Branch stand out as the only stations to lose significant ridership; most other stations showing ridership declines are small stations which were closed (the largest, West Acton, now has a shuttle bus to South Acton, where parking is full before 7 a.m.).
These data can also be mapped, of course. The map shows the disparate growth on different lines, and how minimal ridership was in 1972, especially south and west of the city, compared with today.
Note that 1972 ridership is shown in B&M blue, since the B&M operated the majority of the system then.
Boston came very close to losing its commuter rail system in its entirety, something which occurred in no other city (the closest was the abandonment of the non-electrified portions of the SEPTA system in the early-1980s; while Boston's ridership began to rise in the 1980s, SEPTA and Metra saw ridership decline in the early '80s). Had the highway moratorium not come in to place in 1972 and the Southwest Corridor been built as a highway, it may have meant the end of commuter service south of the city. Worcester ridership was minimal, and the T threatened to curtail north side service entirely—the majority of the system at that point—if it couldn't buy the assets of the Boston and Maine.
Improvements and additions to trackage and rolling stock from the 1970s to 1990s fueled dramatic growth in the system, although it has leveled off in the past decade, a combination of higher fares and an aging physical plant. While the system is no longer on the brink of insolvency—even if it were, adding 60,000 cars to Boston's already strained road system would be a non-starter—it needs a new round of investment as the city, and especially the downtown core, continues to grow.

The big, dense cities of America
I was having a discussion on Twitter—as I am wont to do—about the densities of cities in the United States. The discussion turned to when various cities had reached peak density and I realized I had compiled such a list in a Google Doc several years back. When I'd created the document I'd set a lower limit to the size of city included (about 60,000) and the peak density (10,000 per square mile), but was more interested in the larger cities. Right now (well, as of the 2010 census), there are six cities with at population of at least 500,000 and a density of at least 10,000, in order:
New York (8.2m, 27k/sqmi)
Chicago (2.7m, 12k/sqmi)
Philadelphia (1.5m, 11k/sqmi)
San Francisco (805k, 17k/sqmi)
Washington DC (618k, 10k/sqmi)
Boston (618k, 13k/sqmi)
None of these cities will likely fall below either threshold any time soon (although for a few decades, DC was below 10,000 per square mile). Some cities may join: Long Beach is about 35,000 away from reaching this density, Seattle would need to add 150,000 and Los Angeles 700,000. Miami, which has a density of 11,000, would have to add 60,000 residents to reach 500,000. In addition, it should be noted that each of New York's boroughs (except Staten Island) would qualify for the list as well.
But the list hasn't been static, and in 1950, there were an additional six cities meeting this threshold, cities which are far smaller and less dense now than then. They are:
Detroit (1.8m/13k, now 713k/5.1k)
Baltimore (950k/12k, now 621k/7.7k)
Cleveland (915k/12k, now 397k, 5.1k)
St Louis (857k/14k, now 319k/5.2k)
Pittsburgh (677k, 12k, now 306k, 5.5k)
Buffalo (580k/14.2k, now 261k, 6.4k)
This almost perfectly defines the Rust Belt, and these cities have emptied out in the past 60 years. Chicago, Philadelphia, DC and Boston all started with similar trajectories in the 1960s and 1970s, but have arrested their falls and remain as large, dense cities. With the exception of Baltimore and Detroit, each of these Rust Belt cities is now below both 500,000 and 10,000, and Detroit has lost two-thirds of its population and is only above 500,000 because it's baseline—the fourth largest city in the country in 1950 (behind NYC, Chicago and Philly)—was so high. 1950 was the peak of density in the United States, and it will be a long time until we have as many large, dense cities as we had then.
While these cities certainly had less-diversified economies than the cities which have stayed on the list, they haven't done themselves any favors. New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and Boston all have extensive mass transit systems; DC and San Francisco have build them (other than Detroit, the dense Rust Belt cities all have some sort of mass transit, but nowhere near the extent of the six large cities; the Big Six today are also the cities with the highest transit mode share in the country). Most also limited the spread of highways in their urban areas, something which didn't occur in the Rust Belt cities. Policies which encouraged residents to leave the city worked too well, and these cities are now half-abandoned, or more, despite being as dense as their peers 60 years ago.
Not all cities peaked in 1950. If we expand our criteria to cities which peaked at at least 60,000 people (keeping the 10,000 density requirement) and include New York boroughs, we've seen peak population densities stretching back a century.
The first was in 1910 when Manhattan reached its all-time peak of 2.3 million residents, a density of 101,548 per square mile. The list of cities (at least those with at least one million residents) which have ever achieved such density is short: Manila. And it's only about half the size of New York. Paris, at 55,000 per square mile, is the densest western city today. In 1910, New York had as many people in half the space. Once subways opened allowing easy access off the island it was a safety valve, allowing people to move out of jammed tenements to the relatively spread-out outer boroughs.
One city, Lawrence, Mass., peaked in 1920 (the Merrimac valley could be called the linen belt 100 years ago as its textile mills moved south). Two peaked in 1930: Somerville, Mass. and Jersey City, N.J. In 1940, Providence, R.I. peaked (and is the first city on this list to have fallen below 10,000, although barely).
1950 was the peak; in addition to the cities above, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, DC and Boston peaked, as well as several smaller cities. Cities which peaked in 1950 have, in general, fared far worse than those which peaked before or after. The only cities which have seen their populations decline by more than half peaked in 1950, in fact, the average decline for 1950-peakers—65% (although this doesn't include cities like San Francisco which peaked in 1950 and have since surpassed that)—is lower than any other city on the list.
The Bronx peaked in 1980 (Queens is larger today than it has ever been), and no city, large or small, peaked in the 1990s. Several small jurisdictions peaked in 2000, and as of 2010, New York City as a whole, Queens, San Francisco and Miami and several other small cities are at their peak.
There are, however, two other "cities" which could be included on the list, that is, if you were to agglomerate small, dense suburbs of large cities. (Combined with Hialea, Miami Beach and some others, Miami would also make the list.) One is (not surprisingly) in New Jersey, where just the stretch from Bayonne to Fort Lee boasts nearly 700,000 residents at a density of 17,000 per square mile—similar to San Francisco. The other is north of Boston. Somerville, Chelsea, Cambridge, Malden and Everett all fall above 10,000, but only have 308,000 people (albeit in just 22 square miles). Add in Winthrop, Watertown, Revere, Arlington and Medford and you have an arc north of the city with 505,025 people living in 48.8 square miles—a population density of 10,340. Boston has by far the largest percentage of residents in 10,000+ jurisdictions outside the major city (37%, SF and NY are 26 and 21, the others are under 10) and all but Lawrence are contiguous. So if the cities and towns north of Boston combined to form, say, North Boston, or Chamedwathronfordville, it would be a pretty big place.

Longfellow Bike Count Update
I've been counting bikes on the Longfellow for … a while (although apparently not in 2015, slacker). In any case, with the layout of the bike lane changed appreciably over the past several months, I decided to count again. Here's a quick breakdown of the Longfellow's bicycle facilities in the past few years:
2013: "Normal" pre-construction travel: bike lanes on both sides, two lanes of general traffic.
2013–early 2015 construction: all traffic on the downstream side, one lane of traffic inbound, inbound bike lane, outbound contraflow lane with a buffer.
Early 2015–Late 2015: Inbound bike lane unchanged, but sections of outbound lane routed on to the sidewalk to accommodate work on the salt and pepper shakers.
Late 2015–Early 2016: Inbound bike lane eliminated for approximately 100m at the Cambridge end for Red Line shoo fly trackage; outbound lane eliminated entirely, cyclists asked to walk bikes across the bridge.
Early 2016–present: all cyclists on upstream sidewalk, pedestrians asked to use downstream sidewalk, outbound cyclists asked to loop under bridge to access Kendall. (The netting which broke free from the barriers in high winds has partially been removed, at least.)
Average bicycle traffic on Broadway. The westbound
Longfellow lane has been impacted since Nov 9 2015.
Back in 2014, nearly 400 cyclists used the bridge during the peak inbound commuting hour. Since then, there have been significant disruptions to the bicycling facility, so some traffic may have chosen alternate routes. When the outbound bike lane was closed in November, there was a marked drop in westbound cyclists on Broadway; this persists this spring as many cyclists seem to be avoiding the suggested loop-the-loop under the bridge. Yes, there's data. See if you can tell when cycling west on the bridge was made more difficult?
This spring, eastbound cycling traffic in Cambridge has reached new heights, surpassing even last September's average (although this could be due to the number of weekdays and weekend days averaged). Westbound traffic has dropped, owing to the bridge construction. Has eastbound traffic?
Yes. Slightly. The count on May 18 tallied a peak of 358 cyclists between 8:02 and 9:02. This corresponds to 392 cyclists counted at the Eco-Totem on Broadway between 8:00 and 9:15, or 314 per hour. (In other words, there are a few more cyclists crossing the Longfellow than there are at the Eco-Totem; i.e. more join the flow from Main Street and elsewhere across the bridge than leave Broadway after the Eco-Totem, or miss the counter entirely.) This drop could be due to a variety of factors, from construction to noise in the data. Hard to know.
This count was different than others since to see both sides of the bridge required sitting in an office high above the bridge. This meant, however, that I was able to see whether cyclists were using the upstream sidewalk, the roadway (sans bike lane) or, in a few cases, the downstream sidewalk (intermixed with pedestrians and some very narrow passageways under the turret reconstruction). The answer? Most cyclists use the upstream sidewalk. For Boston-bound cyclists, 95% used the upstream facility. For those coming to Cambridge, only 88% used the facility, but the absolute numbers were much lower, so that meant that only about 10 riders per hour were using the downstream sidewalk. While I wasn't counting pedestrians, it seemed that most were using the downstream sidewalk, although this was the morning commute, which is not prime sightseeing time. Many of the upstream users seemed to be joggers, so at least their pace was better matched.
Westbound commuter counts were about even with the last count in 2014, although bizarrely the 2014 count peaked in the 8:15 range while the current count was highest around 8:45 (this could be noise in the data). There would probably be more marked differences looking at evening data; the Cambridge data suggests that many outbound commuters are avoiding the Longfellow in its current configuration.
What does this all mean? It means that most cyclists will roll with the punches as infrastructure changes, although the Cambridge data suggest that if it is too hard to use, cyclists will find other routes. It will be interesting to see how the upcoming phases change cyclist behavior as facilities are twice again shifted around the bridge prior to the final configuration. Finally, the Cambridge data is a great supplement to these counts, as it can give us a good idea of whether we counted on a high-use day or low, and such automated counts are obviously much more data-rich than simple eyes on the street, although it will take some time to build a multi-year data set to look at definitive trends. For instance: I counted more bikes in 2014, but there is no similar Cambridge data to compare that count to since the counter was only installed in 2015.
But next year's count, well, that will have data. And the bridge might be shifted around. Again.

MBTA buses need help, but Houston is not the answer
The MBTA's Control Board recently produced a document talking about spending several million dollars on a Houston-style network redesign. While the MBTA certainly needs help running their buses, what happened in Houston, for lack of a better phrase, should probably stay in Houston. The transit systems (and the cities themselves) are quite different, and the issues the MBTA has with its buses are far different than those in Houston.
Houston transit ridership, 1999-2014. Data from NTD.
Normalized to 100% in 1999.
Houston did not redesign its network not necessarily because it is forward thinking, but—and this often goes unreported—Houston's existing network was failing. (Looking at the top ten pages on Google about the network redesign, only one mentions the loss of ridership.) In 1999, Houston's transit agency carried about 100 million passengers per year. In 2004, despite a new light rail line opening, overall ridership had dropped to 95 million, with fewer than 90 million on buses. Ridership stayed flat around 100 million until 2008, when it cratered.
By 2010, total transit ridership was at 81 million, with bus ridership at 66 million. In other words: Houston, we have a problem. It's since recovered slightly, but transit ridership is still down 15% from 2000, with bus ridership down by 30%. If the MBTA lost 30% of its ridership, it would be in full-on crisis mode. And this took place over a time when Houston's population grew by 25%, so transit rides per person per year declined from 21.2 to 14.4. (No wonder Houston's big new roads do little to relieve congestion.) By comparison, Boston's metropolitan area has 86.5 transit trips per year (on the MBTA alone, likely slightly higher if you include RTAs within the area).
Bus ridership didn't decline simply because Houston ran fewer buses, as is the case in many cities. Service hours did climb slightly between 1999 and 2003, and were subsequently cut slightly when the light rail line opened. Still, Houston ran more bus service (as measured by revenue hours) in 2014 than it did in 1999, yet the system carried 30% fewer passengers. In 1999, the system carried 35 trips per revenue hour. By 2014, that number was down to 24. (In Boston, buses carry 50 trips per revenue hour. For comparison, single train cars carry more than 100.)
It was clear to Houston's planners that they had a major service issue with their bus system: vehicles were being used inefficiently and were not providing service where it was needed. Instead of doubling down on a failing system, they made a cogent decision to completely rebuild the network, reallocate resources to focus more on frequent service, and use a geographic resource—the straight and often wide street grid—to provide a system which would be more useful to the current population and destinations. The goal is to increase ridership using the same number of vehicles, and given the recent decline in ridership, there should be plenty of spare capacity.
This made sense—a lot of sense—for Houston. It would make very little sense for Boston.
Unlike Houston, Boston does not have spare resources to reallocate. At rush hour, most buses in Boston are at—and frequently over—capacity. This is not the case in Houston. Most frequent bus lines there run every 10 or 15 minutes at rush hour. This is frequent enough to provide "walk-up" service, but shows that there is not a major capacity crunch; if there were, buses would be run more often. One bus line (the 82) and one rail line in Houston run more frequently than every 10 minutes at rush hour. Even with the new route network, there is still a lot of spare capacity on Houston's buses. (Despite carrying 2/3 as many passengers—the networks carried similar numbers of passengers in 2000, but have since diverged—Houston runs 20% more service hours than Boston does.)
Houston and Boston transit ridership from NTD.
Note: Likely data error showed a spike for Boston bus ridership in 2004.
This has been removed for chart simplicity.
This is far from the experience in Boston. In addition to nine rail lines operating more frequently than every 10 minutes, there are 21 bus routes which do the same. There are many others which are well over capacity, yet there are not enough buses to go around to provide enough service on these routes. The 47, 64 and 70 are all at crush capacity—often leaving riders behind—even though they only run every 10 to 20 minutes at rush hour (and that's just a non-random sample of routes which run within a stone's throw of my house in Cambridgeport). This is an entirely different problem from Houston—nowhere in the Space City is there a bus line like the 7, 73 or 111 where a full bus runs ever four or five minutes—and it requires an entirely different solution.
Unlike Houston, transit ridership in Boston has been growing, outpacing many other cities and the local rate of population growth, without any new infrastructure having been built in decades. Overall transit ridership is up 15% since 1999, and bus ridership up nearly 10%. Can Boston's ridership be attributed to increase service hours? No, bus service hours have been basically flat since 1999 (and not "basically flat" by the FMCB's definition, but actually flat, up less than 3% since 1999, despite the addition of the Silver Line during that time). So buses have been getting more crowded, not less.
This leaves out three other major factors which would preclude a Houston-style program in Boston. First, Boston's geography is not grid-based, but relies on a few corridors linking more central nodes. Most of these routes already have buses, usually traveling in relatively straight, logical lines (with some exceptions). Second, Boston does not have the level of sprawl that Houston does, and attempts to serve low-density job centers will be inherently less efficient than the current urban core-based transit system (in Houston, the old core-based system was not seeing enough use, which is certainly not the case in Boston). Finally, rail ridership makes up two thirds of Boston's overall transit ridership (only Boston, New York Washington, D.C. and Atlanta carry more passengers by rail than by bus) and the bus network logically feeds in to the rail network, which can't be easily changed.
According to Jarrett Walker on Here and Now, two thirds of the routes in Houston were new, with smaller changes to the rest. In Boston, a reimagined system would likely result in most routes being largely unchanged—I'd venture to guess that it would be 80% of routes, and 90% of routes weighted by ridership, since higher-ridership routes would be less likely the be changed—and only a few areas would see dramatic reorganization. This is not to say there aren't changes that should be made: routes should be straightened (the 34 and others which make mid-route loops to serve malls), made more logical (the 70), have anachronistic quirks ironed out (the 66 jog to Union Square) or, in some cases, be blown apart altogether to provide better connections (break up the 47!).
None of this reaches the level of what was done in Houston, where there is a lot of slack to provide rides for more passengers with the existing bus fleet; they could increase ridership by 50% and still be shy of bus ridership in 1999, and far from the crowding the T sees on a daily basis. There is no spare capacity in Boston for that kind of growth without a dramatic increase in the size of the fleet. If we are really going to improve buses in Boston, we need more money to run more buses.
If that money—and the facilities to house an enlarged fleet—is unavailable in the short term, what can be done is a wholesale program to make the buses we have work better. The problem is not that the routes we have don't work for people (for instance, the 77 does, and should, run down Mass Ave), it's that the way the buses run on these routes doesn't work (it shouldn't have to sit at a traffic light while two or three cars cross in front of it). Buses with 50 passengers on board sit in the same queues as cars with one, and other than a couple miles of Silver Line lanes, there are no transit priority features in Boston. There has been some nascent movement towards solving this in recent months, but it needs to go much further. If we are going to spend several million dollars on improving buses—as the FMCB proposes—let's make sure we do it in a way that works for Boston, not Houston.

Snow Leopard On Skis
We’ve all seen the movie Cool Runnings, which tells the story of the Jamaican Bobsleigh team and their quest for the 1988 Olympic Winter Games in Calgary.

Dance With Me, Moose
Okay. I’m back, Bob.
God told me the next topic I should speak about is penis envy. I guess average is about 6″ or so and about 1.5″ in diameter. (Suck it, you metric-using assholes. Use Google to figure it out.) However, in pornography, we often see unusually long or wide (or both), I have noted. And the ladies seem to enjoy themselves immensely, making crazy wild animal sounds.
They are being raped, gentlemen. They don’t really understand it because they consented to it, but they are being over-stimulated in ways that should never happen. That is fornication because it’s an act for a camera; those people rarely, if ever, actually connect as lovers in love. (Kudos to the few who do and thank you for providing sane samples of love-making for those who are in yearning.)
Average might be too big for me. I’ve dated above average multiple times, as well, and it always hurt for a day or so afterward. In fact, every sex toy I could find last year was at least 8.5″ long and 1.5″ wide. This is too big, you assholes. Make them smaller and put handles on them that are easier to hold onto, for Christ’s sake. (Yup, we just did that and we’re not taking it back.)
If you are an average fellow, congrats! You’re less likely to accidentally rape your lovely lady. If you are above average… well, you better let your lady do the work so she is less likely to get hurt. (Sorry, pillow princesses.) And if you are below average, well… there are people out there that have uses for you anyway, I assure you. I can’t imagine it myself but God tells me it’s absolutely 100% true. I trust that guy, most of the time.
Oh, what did I make for dinner? A Daiya meatless meat lover’s pizza. I didn’t really think about how it’d have paprika in the faux pepperoni or be slathered in tomato sauce… but, then again, as last meals go, it doesn’t matter, does it? I made it as crispy as I could and used the broiler to make sure it is maximum delicious. I love crispy crust pizza.
I flat out love pizza, really. Can someone please mass market a pizza without tomato sauce, though? Just slather it with olive oil or avocado oil and add the Italian seasoning, por favor. Oh and of course faux cheese. And paprika-less pepperoni? Can we please? It sucks ass to have to make every meal from scratch if I want to feel good on the inside as well as the outside.
I would call it “pixxa” because pizza is defined by tomato sauce, oddly enough.
Please don’t do that… I might die. Thank you.
Forgive me if I’m slow… I’m chowing down on said pizza pie. I’m loving every morsel, too. It could be the very last thing I eat. It depends on you, dear reader. Are you going to be a psychopath or are you going to stop and listen for a while? There’s a blessing at the very end. God’s blessing to all the children of Earth.

Democratic Blind Spots
At this point in the primary campaign, there isn't a lot of doubt about what the primary contests themselves will hold. Hillary has a chance to pull a slight upset in Oregon, as rural voters and a growing number of voters in the greater Portland area are leaning towards her. I'm also curious to see what the Montana primary margins end up looking like. Other than those two details, the rest of the campaign is Obama getting his arrogance handed to him by the voters.
I will simply repeat what I've been saying for weeks now: Hillary = nominee = victory; Obama = nominee = defeat. Neither candidate has enough pledged delegates to get to 2209 votes without super delegates, so it is up to the SDs to decide the fate of the party in this electoral cycle. The nominee isn't the person with the most at a certain point in time, it is the person who first hits 2209.
What does interest me greatly is watching the modern day "Best and Brightest" come totally unhinged over Hillary's candidacy. No, really, this is a fascinating sociological study that is confirming themes and thoughts I've been writing about since long before this particular campaign. It has to do with the fault lines in the Democratic coalition as such and the difficulty the two major strands - Stevensonian and Truman/Jacksonian - have trying to keep the coalition together. It's all further complicated because of the way in which non-white ethnic groups brought into the coalition since the New Deal do not fit neatly onto what is fundamentally an argument among the "whites" about class privilege and distribution of socio-economic power.
I was sent a link to an article written by Sen. Jim Webb about the Scots-Irish in America and the way in which the current Democratic Party is failing to appeal to this group. It is a short piece that does not candy coat anything. Here are key paragraphs, but be sure to read the whole thing:
The Scots-Irish comprised a large percentage of Reagan Democrats, and contributed heavily to the "red state" votes that gave Mr. Bush the presidency in 2000. The areas with the highest Scots-Irish populations include New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, northern Florida, Mississippi, Arkansas, northern Louisiana, Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, southern Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, and parts of California, particularly Bakersfield. The "factory belt," especially around Detroit, also has a strong Scots-Irish mix. ...
The Democrats lost their affinity with the Scots-Irish during the Civil Rights era, when -- because it was the dominant culture in the South -- its "redneck" idiosyncrasies provided an easy target during their shift toward minorities as the foundation of their national electoral strategy. Their long-term problem in having done so is twofold. First, it hampers their efforts to carry almost any Southern state. And second, the Scots-Irish culture has strong impact outside the South. This is especially strong in many battleground states. It is no accident that many political observers call the central region in Pennsylvania "Northern Alabama." Scots-Irish traditions play heavily in New Hampshire -- the only New England state that Mr. Bush carried in 2000. Large numbers of Scots-Irish settled in the southern regions of Ohio (called "Northern Kentucky"), Indiana and Illinois. They were among the principal groups to settle Missouri and Colorado. They migrated heavily to the industrial areas in Michigan, which is one reason that George Wallace, ran so strongly in that state in 1968 and 1972. ...
In fact, the greatest realignment in modern politics would take place rather quickly if the right national leader found a way to bring the Scots-Irish and African Americans to the same table, and so to redefine a formula that has consciously set them apart for the past two centuries.
Secret GOP Weapon: The Scots-Irish Vote

These words are very different than what we have been hearing lately from the Left punditocracy, yet they are exactly what does need to happen for the Democrats to solidify the promise contained in their large and disparate coalition. The states listed by Sen. Webb include the most crucial swing states. It also shows a fundamental relationship between the Bunkers of the north and the Bubbas of the south, namely in the presence of this ethnic group in the different geographical regions.
As a reminder, my three major themes on Left politics that I try to write about are:
The tension between liberal democracy and more radical modes in the conduct of Left politics.
The way "The South" works in the Left's political imagination, and how that mitigates against coalitions.
With reference to current affairs, what is the effect of the netroots (if any) on the conduct of Left politics.
That ongoing analysis will be my focus from here on out. As I see it, there is a serious power struggle going on within the party to retain control within the old guard Northern tier faction to prevent the rise of a border-state power center that looks to ally the Southwest (Hispanic) with swing state working class voters for a voting block not beholden to Teddy Kennedy & Co.

For what it's worth, I live in Portland proper and I've seen a grand total of two Clinton bumper stickers, compared to countless hundreds of Obama bumper stickers. Similarly for yard signs, though I haven't travelled out of southeast portland at all in the last couple of months. And the Obama campaign has buckets of money (to the point where they are calling me -- a socialist, so I'm not likely to be voting in the Democratic primary -- multiple times asking for my vote.)
If my part of Portland is at all representative of the Democratic population in the state, Ms. Clinton will not be winning here. Sorry :-(
anglachel, i think i've finally arrived at an interpretation that makes sense (for me) of this whole shitshow of a primary season. the thoughts had been percolating for a while now, but they crystallized when i saw this comment by chancellor over at talkleft:
[A]s I see it, this year, the will of the voters is going to mean less than the power struggle going on within the Beltway Dems--aided and abetted by some in the blogosphere. The Mountain States are seen by these "new coalition" Dems as representing the best opportunity to counter the Southern Strategy of the Repubs.
As best I can tell, there are many in the Dem party who would like to write off the South entirely as an electoral strategy. This would mean being able to throw out the influence of the Carters, the Gores and the Clintons. Of course, they can't do this without replacement states to make up the votes. What they're hoping is that they can cobble together enough Libertarians in the Mountain States and the border states, such as Virginia and Missouri, to re-draw the electoral map. Obama is the candidate that they chose to draw these voters into the Dem fold.
The problem is that the big electoral votes are still in states where the voter demographics favor Clinton. IMO, the neo-Libertarians will do anything to stop Clinton in order to execute the first part of their strategy--including taking a loss in the GE, as long as they think they can pick up the congressional races. They're trying to prove a point here, IMO, whether or not it means winning back the White House. There's also a problem in that Libertarians are not Democrats, so we are seeing a fight not just for votes but for values. . . .
My guess is that they believe it's now or never, and that due to the state of the economy, the Iraq war/occupation and Bush's approval ratings, this is the time for the coup.
BTW, I do believe it is an attempt at an internal coup. IMO, the comments by Brazile were a slip-up in her anger--we weren't supposed to know that we were being told to go to the back of the bus and stay there, at least not until November. However, now that the plan is out there, you have people like Chris Bowers and Matt Stoller extolling the virtues of the new, neo-Libertarian party, formerly known as the Democrats. Maybe they think we'll change our minds once they tell us how wonderful everything is going to be under the new order. It's Animal Farm redux, best I can tell.
and as an FDR/WJC dem, i'm definitely royally f*cking pissed at this.

Nailed it again. Also I think Nance's chancellor quote has it right and it demonstrates the "feeling of things not being right" that many of us have.
Donna Brazil has always had a problem of not being able to keep her mouth shut when she gets angry. She has been near frantic in her defense of BO so it is not surprising that she let the plans of the big boyz slip.
First and foremost I have to state that I a newcomer. A lot of the political tradition of this country is new to me and may be missing nuances and historical fragments. Once, this is out the way, I can comment more freely.
At least through the Obama prism, the struggle doesn't seem to be a power struggle going on within the party to retain control within the old guard Northern tier faction to prevent the rise of a border-state power center that looks to ally the Southwest (Hispanic) with swing state working class voters for a voting block not beholden to Teddy Kennedy & Co.
Obama seeks, in my opinion, to replace the old guard, never mind that its leaders Kennedy and Kerry jumped on the Obama band wagon, and totally ignores Hispanics, border states and, of course, working class voters.
If my view is correct, then how do one explain the Obama success? I see it more as the emergence of a charismatic, opportunistic and demagogical outsider, e.g. Napoleon-Clinton-Thatcher, who appeals to an ad hoc coalition whose parts have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
We must face the fact that the young (he is a rock star), the wine drinkers (we had enough of the Clinton, the papers say so, and we want to be more important) and the fake lefties (he is black and progressive) are as different from each other as you can find.
I disagree with two additional comments in the post. I find the talk about the left misplaced. There is no left left in this country. Symbolically the left died with Paul Wellstone. The Nation, the organ of the left for decades has endorsed a candidate who insults the blue collar workers; that is not left. At best, this is center. Cesar Chavez is left. Supporting a candidate that doesn't support universal health care is not.
The post is "watching the modern day "Best and Brightest" come totally unhinged over Hillary's candidacy." I can recognize hate when I see it. The best and the brightest are not unhinged they are full of hate. They needed like they need oxygen. They hated Bubba and now hate his wife. They are not allowed to hate blacks; it's a no no. Then they find another target Clinton/blue collar workers/Clinton supporters, etc.
Today I have heard several radio commentators/hosts remark on how tired Obama is getting, of course, being sympathetic [it's all her fault it's gone on so long],but I wonder.
One even mentioned BO saying he'd been in 57 states and then, repeating 57 states again. Now that's tired! And there is that habit he has of running home to rest even before the ballots are counted in states he lost.
Why is this seemingly strong, young male exhausted? Does it indicate a latent health problem? Stress may be making him tired but think of the stress in the Oval office or facing up to McCain in debates or enduring the firestorm of negativity from the right.
On the other hand, there's the Energizer bunny in a pants suit, a good 10 years his senior, looking and acting like the first day of the campaign. This is an amazing feat as she has been running with the msmedia, AARadio, poisoned blogs and the DNC on her back throughout.
Not a peep from the cables about his seemingly weak constitution but just wait if he officially wins the primary and has old guy McCain dancing circles around him.
sas said...
You must not forget that there is a whole faction of men (young in particular), who are scared s**tless of a woman in power. They don't say it in so many words, but it is real. These are some of BO's strongest supporters. It's the dick thing.
Pat Johnson said...
I think this is more the "I Cannot Be Bothered Syndrome" than any physical inertia. He could not be bothered to attend the MLK commemoration. He could not be bothered to attend the Tavis Smiley event. He could not be bothered with debates. He could not be bothered to meet with the gay community. He could not be bothered to meet with the Chicago reporters until pushed into a corner. He could not be bothered to campaign in WVa. It is a sign of is entitlement to the nomination and he is signaling that from his perspective it is over. If elected, we will witness a lot more of his "I cannot be bothered" from this inexperience, unqualified media creation.
I'm feeling really slow: I've just realized how closely this whole campaign tracks the patter of the nomination of Clarence Thomas. Any and all criticism of the nominee is discounted as suspect racism and the woman trying to report reality is demonized with glee.

Some observations...
Much as many traditional conservatives found themselves somewhat blindsided by the neo-conservatives takeover of the reins of the Republican party, the "traditional" left is now getting the opportunity to observe the neo-liberals do the same thing to them, courtesy of the Stevensonian wing of the party.
We live in the age of the corporations and K Street, who naturally are giving their biggest bucks to Obama, the neo-liberal who has promised them whatever they want in order to win this election.
Who needs the workers in America anyway, when you can get "slave" labor in 3rd world countries to do the work for so much less. Especially when there are no pesky regulations or government policies to prevent them from offshoring the work.
Apparently populism is dead for all practical purposes... yet some of the blogger boyz are pretending that Obama has populist policies buried somewhere on his website... the key word here being "buried."

Thanks for another great post. Food for thought on the Scots/Irish voters. I will be bookmarking that link! The Irish suffered tremendous discrimination when they came here in droves, but managed to build themselves up. (I would be interested to know if the Irish had preachers telling them they couldn't succeed because the system was against them?)

Orc, it's no great secret that putting a Clinton sticker on your car is asking to have your car keyed.
The last time I put a nominee sticker on my car during a hotly contested election, that sticker not only got my car keyed, but my bumper taken off. Seriously: three attacks on one car, one of them while I was in buying groceries. And the local Dem HQ reported massive attacks on yard signs.
So you can't take that as an indicator anymore. The politics of aggression is changing voter behaviors :(
You must not forget that there is a whole faction of men (young in particular), who are scared s**tless of a woman in power.
I think it is just as likely or more likely: they are also scared of being drafted into an unpleasant war.
That IMO is one reason why Clinton is unacceptable to them. Her comments about Iran scared them half to death. They really believe Obama will get us out of the war.
I give it three years before Obama has his new 90,000 troops fighting in Pakistan.

scots-irish, hillbillies, rednecks
my people.
jim webb is a senator (D) from virginia. mark warner, a former virginia governor, is now running for the other virginia senate seat, as a dem.
last week former gov warner launched his senate campaign.
where in virginia did he start?
he began it in abingdon, virgina, far southwest virginia.
scots-irish (and not a few polish miners).
warner considers this area and its voters the source of his political strength in virginia.
he is very respectful of their culture and their opinion and their needs.
in warner's 2000(?) gubernatorial campaign the now nationally famous political character "mudcat" grant was a key player in warner's effort to reach out to this group and establish that a democratic campaigner would listen to these citizens, respect them, and assist them.
that meant tolerance for hunting and guns, appreciation of nascar, and political promises (roads, jobs, health care for children) -
promises that MUST, in the scots-irish culture, be kept.
warner kept his promises.
note: not to romanticize, but the scots-irish were the over-mountain men and women in the late 1700's and early eighteen hundreds in american. and they kept on moving west into texas, indiana, ohio.
due to an unfortunate mid-synapse collision between memory molecules,
i got my "mudcats" mixed up.
the guy who helped run the southwest virgina portion of mark warner's 2001 gubernatiorial campaign was david "mudcat" saunders.
"mudcat" grant was a pitcher for the cleveland indians.

"I would be interested to know if the Irish had preachers telling them they couldn't succeed because the system was against them?"
Just to be fair, the Scots-Irish, Asians, and Hispanics came to this country by choice, seeking a better life, and have a consequent perception about exploitation vs. participation. Blacks were brought here by force as slaves, so they understandably have a different calculus when looking at these things - a calculus that may in fact be more accurate from their point of view.
Of course, this observation cuts the other direction as well. The new Democratic coalition of (1) creative class wine drinkers, (2) African Americans, and (3) college kids w/ no real responsibilities is unlikely to find appeal among Hispanics, Asians, and working class Scott-Irish.
Solving the problems faced by AAs (or, more accurately, electing an AA figurehead who may or may not solve problems faced by AAs) does not automatically translate into gratitude from these other racial groups. Nor should it. Hispanics and Asians don't have the sin of U.S. black slavery laying at their feet, so the "white guilt" angle is particularly ineffective against them.
Lakelobos: a separate issue from what the Obama voters want or what he himself wants is what the party wants. Other than hatred of the Clintons, I can't account for why so many Democratic political figures came out for Obama. It was almost - but not quite - enough for me to reconsider my own position, thinking they must know something I don't. If they can succeed in putting together a big enough coalition without the South, that might be great, except that if the party goes libertarian I'll be looking for a new home myself; in my way of thinking excessive individualism is the problem in this country, not the solution.
If they can't put together a winning coalition, then it's the past 30 years all over again. We've been too self-righteous to reach out to the white working class (except for Bill Clinton), and we should have realized the problem with that approach long ago.

I do think the DNC and the Super Delegates have to look at how the Bush Administration’s approval ratings have continued to slide for 4 years or more. And now they are as low as ever. A 70% disapproval rating! The GOP brand is so bad they had to steal the Democratic party. If you think you can spin reality indefinitely, think again. Even Rove can’t fool everyone forever. Reality is such that you ignore it at your peril. Do they want to lose the party to Rove and his ilk? Maybe it is time for the disaffected Democrats to focus on taking over the GOP. It might be easier than wresting the reigns from the likes of Dean, Pelosi, Obama, Kerry and Kennedy. Let the cheaters take their ball and play without us. Let them have it, we’ll vote McCain and take them over. Or if that fails, the Democrats may decide that they need the majority of Democrats to win and govern. WHAT A REVOLUTIONARY THOUGHT! Remember, if we vote for McCain, (perish the thought but) it will take them two votes to just be even. And three votes to gain one. How easy will it be for the DNC to round up 33 million more voters to make up for the Hillary voters they snubbed and mocked. Just a little food for thought for the DNC and the delegates. And that doesn't even take into account the really ticked off voters in MI and FL!

Chinaberry Turtle--I actually respect African-Americans; racist myths to the contrary, most of them are honest, hard-working folks.
However, I cheerfully despise the other two groups you mentioned as the Precious's core support, which is why I finally decided I prefer Clinton after thinking for months I'd be happy with either one of the two remaining candidates.
BTW, I fall into the working-class and mostly Anglo-Celtic category, with some German, French-Canadian, and a dash of Cherokee thrown in.
the discussion of race in this democratic primary, especially with regard to west virginia and kentucky, might be enlightened by a reminder
that parts of the old south were vehemently anti-slavery
and that
those parts were almost exclusivley in the appqalacian plateau -
parts of tenn, north carolina, penn, virginia, kentucky
in short " appalachia".
west virginia, you'll recall, was part of virgina prior to the civil war.
east tenn, where i was raised, refused to co-operate in the sourthern "cause" with the rest of that state during the civil war. it became republican long before the days of the 1965 civil rights act or the schemes of lee atwater
and it remains so today.
i'll include here a quote i picked up from google to illustrate my point. i picked it for no other reason than i happened upon it and it illustrates the point i want to make.
need i add,
all these areas have a very stong scots-irish cultural base.

PIONEER ANTI-SLAVERY PRESS
While the history of the anti-slavery movement after 1830 is well known to every student of American history, the movement during the three decades preceding that date is much less familiar and deserves critical investigation. This period has been characterized frequently by anti-slavery writers as the “neglected interval” or the “period of stagnation,” but it may be regarded more properly as a transition epoch, when the scattered forces were being organized and when issues were being defined and plans of operation adopted.
The center of this activity lay in the border states, particularly the great Appalachian plateau, where the system of slavery was poorly adapted to the economic, social, political, and religious life of the people. As slavery was a real problem with them, it is not surprising to see them putting forth special efforts to rid themselves of it. In this work, naturally, the way was led by the Quakers, whose antagonism to slavery is proverbial, ably assisted by the Presbyterians, the Methodists, and the Baptists. The minutes of the American convention of abolition societies during the years immediately preceding the inauguration of the modern abolition movement by Garrison and his followers show in the border states an unusually large number of anti-slavery societies, which at times greatly exceeded in membership those in the free states. This is especially pronounced in 1827 when 106 of the 130 societies and 5,125 of the 6,625 members were located in that section... Western North
-snip-
Carolina and eastern Tennessee were generally regarded as better fields for anti-slavery labor than either Ohio or New England. John Rankin, a native of Tennessee and for many years one of the leading abolitionists in the country, declared that in his boyhood “a majority of the people of East Tennessee were abolitionists”2 and that “it was safer to make an anti-slavery speech in the South than it became during the thirties to make the same speech in the North.”3
The one important feature of anti-slavery work with which this study is concerned is the establishment and the development of the anti-slavery press, which had its origin in this region during this period. One of the greatest difficulties before the anti-slavery workers in these early years was the small number of periodicals through which they could place before the people their arguments against the system of slavery, since the columns of the regular newspapers were, as a rule, closed to their discussions. The press has always been, as it is today, a powerful agency in determining the final result of any great movement. Horace Greeley wisely stated, “A History which takes no account of what was said by the press in memorable emergencies befits an earlier age than this.” And Napoleon Bonaparte is credited with saying, “Four hostile newspapers are more to be dreaded than one hundred thousand bayonets.” The steady and persistent opposition of the slave interests of
the South to anti-slavery publications indicated their appreciation of the dangers of such propaganda.
The editor of the first periodical established primarily for the discussion of slavery was Charles Osborn. Born in North Carolina of Quaker parentage on the twenty-first of August, 1775, he removed at the age of nineteen with his, parents, to East Tennessee, where he entered the ministry about ten years later. On his frequent ministerial visits among the numerous Quaker settlements in that region,4 he assisted in every way possible in the organization and the activities of the anti-slavery societies. His time during the three years from 1814 to 1816 was devoted almost exclusively to this work. In 1815 he was one of the eight charter members of the Manumission Society of Tennessee, an organization that developed rapidly in numbers and influence. As a result of his aversion to the institution of slavery, he removed, in the latter part of 1816, to Mount Pleasant in southeastern Ohio, where he became the minister of a Quaker congregation.5 Soon after his arrival, he issued the prospectus of a paper that he proposed to establish under the name of the Philanthropist, the first number of which appeared August 29, 1817. This undertaking not prospering as he had hoped, he sold the paper in October of the following year to Elisha Bates6 and a few months later removed to Indiana, where he spent the remainder of his long and eventful life.7
The Philanthropist was a weekly newspaper of religious tone intended, as was set forth clearly and forcefully in the prospectus, to aid in the campaign then being waged by the reformers against three great national evils: war, slavery, and intemperance. In its pages the subject of slavery was discussed nearly
ninety times, or on an average about twice in each number. Benjamin Lundy, then residing at Saint Clairsville, Ohio, was from the first an agent and a regular correspondent of the paper and during the last few months of its existence was, an associate editor.8
The Philanthropist is regarded by many not only as the first anti-slavery paper published in the United States but as the “first journal in America to advocate immediate, unconditional emancipation.” While Osborn is said to have been from his earliest years a “thoroughgoing abolitionist,”9 there is nothing in the Philanthropist to confirm or disprove this, contention, although in one issue it is distinctly stated that emancipation must be gradual.10 In his first number the editor declares hopefully that the time “is is fast approaching when the United States shall no longer be stained with this foul polution of slavery.”11 The fact has been well established that Charles Osborn advocated immediate, uncompensated emancipation as early as 1816,12 yet an examination of the Philanthropist indicates that he did not use this paper to any considerable extent as a medium through which to express such sentiments. In fact, the strongest words against slavery are found in the selections from other papers and in communications from Saint Clairsville, in all probability from the pen of Lundy. That the paper exhibited a moderate anti-slavery spirit may be attributed in part to Osborn’s being so much occupied with his ministerial duties that he was forced to depend for most of the articles, including even many of the editorials, upon his co-workers, men as a rule more tolerant than he. ....]
just a little historical reminder for our day.

I think it is a mistake to call the AA voting block "members of a coalition". In this primary, they are voting, overwhelmingly, based on shared skin color. Nothing I have heard coming from the Obama campaign leads me to believe he offers anything in the way of policy that would improve the lot of anyone who is not already privileged, much less offering any ideas to bridge the social divide that exists between all too many identifiable minority groups.
That said, I think the DNCniacs are in for a huge disappointment the minute they hang their hat on a non-AA candidate. When the AA community gets back to voting based on "what the candidate will do for me", the "new" democratic party doesn't hold a candle to the one Hillary Clinton represents.

Yeah, I know, sorry,
...but the stats are still really high. I check every couple of days and they're still way higher than normal. So, just hang tight, you regulars.
They'll be gone soon...
Meanwhile, I share a little of what's on my mind lately.
A conversation by FB with my old bloggie-buddy Steve. Steve's been a little worried lately too. And as it turns out, he's not the only one.
HJW: Did I tell you my latest zombie dream?
Steve Skojec: No. you haven't
HJW: I was in a big city, like Vancouver or Toronto, maybe New York, but definitely N. America and the zombies were swarming the whole city, coming on like a wave. But so fast that half the city didnt know.
I escaped to a section where things were still normal, and ran around this mall yelling at everyone to STOP SHOPPING... trying to get them to understand that they needed to run RIGHT NOW.
They were shopping, shopping, and talking on their cellphones and acting completely normal.
Steve Skojec: yeah, no metaphor there at all
HJW: I looked up one street and saw the wave coming about three blocks up, and people started screaming up there and running, shots fired, cops, sirens, fires, couple of explosions, but still all the people around me refused to listen.
...Then they started falling on us out of windows of the skyscrapers.
Steve Skojec: I don't like your dreams
HJW: Me neither
A little... preoccupied lately: Russia, China, Iran, Russia and China, Korea, N. Korea, troops and hardware moving to Russia's western borders, the US sending planes to Poland. Finland. Estonia. Latvia. Lithuania. All the names I really never wanted to hear mentioned every night in the news again.
Getting that paralysis feeling again... it was soooo long ago...I thought I'd forgotten what it felt like.
We really thought it was over. We weren't idiots; we knew that there was still plenty of Bad out there, but we thought at least the chances of getting vapourised had diminished a bit. My twice or thrice-weekly nightmares about The Blast diminished and finally dried up all together.
The _____ ____ing Cold War went a long way to blighting the lives of my entire generation. And we thought it was over.
It wasn't much, but we figured at least that one was behind us. As long as they weren't going to blow up the world, we'd make it. We could deal.
It's like the end of the movie when you thought (but you didn't really) the monster was dead, and it roars back to life. Only this time, it eats everybody...
...and there's no credits.
People talking about how it might be a good idea to learn how to make a fire without matches.
Oh, and there's this. Remember ebola? Oh, I do.
How does it go again? War, plague, famine and... and... what was the last thing again?
Suddenly, it's 1980 again, and I'm 15, listening to Heart, and wondering if there's any point to doing anything. (That was the real reason, by the way that "Gen-X" never did anything with ourselves. The "slacker" generation had been told by their hippie parents that none of us were going to live to see thirty, so what did we care? We were, to put it simply, paralysed by the terror our parents had instilled in us. We spent our whole lives staring unmoving at the headlights we'd been told were coming at us. Yeah, thanks for that Boomers...)
Oh, how well I remember that weird, nauseating pressure between my shoulder blades and at the base of my throat at the phrase "emergency NATO meeting..."
After Friday's urgent meeting of the UNSC, U.S. ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power, called upon Moscow to withdraw its armed forces from Crimea, while Russia’s UN ambassador Vitaly Churkin said that Russia is acting within existing agreements on the stationing of the Russian Black Sea fleet in Sevastopol, Crimea.
Russia is a veto-wielding permanent member of the Security Council and is able to block any proposed action by its members.
Foreign ministers of the European Union will convene at an extraordinary meeting on Monday to discuss Russia’s potential use of armed forces in Ukraine.
Thousands of Russian soldiers doing nuke drills.
Nuke drills.
(...nuke drills...)
Sooo...
Not much blogging for a while.
Why don't y'all go say a Rosary or two.

I guess It's just the Ides
But I came home from Rome this evening feeling stabby. The conversation on the train-o was about whether Putin was going to keep going when he was finished taking Ukraine back into the warm embrace of Mother Russia. The conversation was made doubly interesting by the company; two of my companions were from the Baltics, one from a former Soviet state and another from Finland, where they fought one of the very few successful wars to fend off the enthusiastic ardour of the Stalinists.
So, y'all will forgive me when I say that I've not got a whole lot of patience for the stupidity that passes for Catholic debate in these difficult times. My friends were wondering whether they were going to have a country to call home in a few weeks or months. All the Europeans are wondering if they are going to be dragged into another war, either cold or hot.
So, really, Just at the moment, I've not got a lot of patience for the self-indulgence and chronic self-deception that American Catholics tend to be prone to. The grown-ups have things to think about over here.
But I see that my reservations about having a huge influx of new readers were justified. There has been an annoying little inflammation of itchy argumentation in the commbox below, with the newcomers apparently unable to understand that when I say we do not engage in such rudeness here, I really do actually mean it.
I see that I will also have to clarify what kind of site we have here.
This is the site of a Traditionalist Catholic. I do not adhere to the self-deception of the neocatholics. I gave all that up some years ago, and after much study and a good deal of pain, I have learned to reject the NewChurcian lies. I don't blame anyone for not being either ready to do this, or for not knowing enough to know the difference, but the one thing I really don't have any patience for are those who come in here and try to tell me that I don't know what I know. I also don't have any patience for rude, crass, American neo-Catholics trawling the blogs trying to generate arguments in order to boost their readership. It might be useful for the newbies here to remember that I am not an American and that in general, Americans do not endear themselves to the rest of the world with this kind of behaviour.
It's late, and I've had a very nice birthday in town, went to see the absolutely gorgeous Lawrence Alma-Tadema/Pre-Raphaelite exhibition at Santa Maria della Pace this afternoon, followed by an insanely huge meal of fish at my favourite Sardinian place near St. Peter's. There were presents and ridiculously overpriced tea at the Viennese Tea Room, and a long gaze at my all-time favourite Bruegel painting at the Doria Pamphilj gallery (and a couple of pretty good Caravaggios and Raphaels) and a nice private Mass at the St. Philip altar at the parish. More or less a perfect day.
So I'm not going to spoil it by staying up too late and getting into a big unpleasant thing, just because there are some people who don't have either any manners or enough to do with themselves, and who don't know how to disagree pleasantly.
I am only going to leave this:
I'm a Trad. I've been a Trad for ten years. I used to be a neo-con, but after a while, I just couldn't keep feeding that crocodile. Therefore, I not only know the difference between a Trad and a neo-con; much more importantly, I know that there is a difference. This is not a matter of politics, it is a matter of taxonomy. The recognition and identification of objectively discernible traits. And I've got exactly no patience at all for the people who try to tell me that by admitting the existence of these clearly discernable differences I am somehow trying to be "divisive" or "political".
Truth is divisive. Adherence to The Real is as divisive as Christ himself always told us it would be.
Suck it up.
Here are some links, in case you are wondering if I have ever had anything to say about it before:
First, define your terms:
Real things, things that exist in nature, have characteristics, observable accidents that can be quantified to help us decide what sort of things they are, and what sort of other things they are related to.
Of course, people don't like to be quantified in this way, and it is especially unfashionable now that political correctness has entered the fray. I can't tell you how many times I have heard the indignant cry, "I'm not a ____, I'm just a Catholic." Well, may I suggest that in the modern Church, if that is true, then you are, most likely, simply a lazy Catholic who has never bothered to learn anything about the Faith, to discover its depths and surprises and has never had an opportunity to find out what your reactions to those surprises will be. The Church is in crisis and is fragmented from top to bottom. If you are trying to claim that you are "just a Catholic" I suggest that you are attempting to wish these realities into the cornfield, a power you do not have. Grow up and get into the fight.
Very few modern Catholics know half of what the Church teaches, and if they did, it would scare them silly. Don't forget, most of them, even the "conservatives" think that feminism can be "Christianised," that it is natural and good for Church and State to be separated, that "freedom of speech" is a natural human right... a lot of rubbish, but it is rubbish upon which their entire universe is founded. It is no wonder, then, that they are scared stiff of the fullness of the Faith and get angry with Trads and call us names when we point out that they are infected with the Disease. (That and I think I mentioned Trads tend to be jerks about it.)
Traditionalism, therefore, is not "extremely conservative conservatism". "Traditionalist" is not a sliding term, it cannot be used as an adjective and it is certainly not part of a scale from Trad to Modernist. THERE IS NO SCALE.
Traditionalist can't be used as an adjective; it is only a noun. You can't be "more traditionalist" than someone else. You are, or you are not a Traditionalist. There could be such a thing as a conservative Traditionalist, I suppose, because "conservative" can be used as an adjective. And in theory there could be such a thing as a "liberal" Traditionalist, but the thing is what it is.
I am a Traditionalist. This totally precludes me from being "a conservative" (noun). I do indeed also happen to be quite a conservative Trad, but that is using the term "conservative" as an adjective to describe my personal style and attitudes. The issue here is the difference between substance and accident. I am not a conservative of any kind. I am a Traditionalist.
My buddy Chris explains it all to you
Where there are differences, one must make distinctions. And in the Church there are differences (and how!) and therefore we make the distinctions as best we can. (Taxonomy is the least exact of all the biological studies).
It is not pious or noble to try to ignore these differences or to sneer at the people who are attempting in good faith to clear away the dishonest effort made by many churchmen over the last 50 years to paper over and ignore these differences, to the harm of millions.
Now, I'm going to bed. And tomorrow I'm going to be out, and after that I'm going to Umbria for a week. So you can all just go look at cat videos for a while.

Attention New People: this is not your regular kind of blog...
I know we've picked up a bunch of carpetbaggers in the last few days. I spose that's OK, but New People, be aware that this is not your regular kind of blog. It's more like a little club. I have many times described it as a kind of salon, where polite people can talk about things over tea and cake. I have had pretty much the same five hundred readers a day for most of the ten years we've been doing this, and I look upon newcomers with grave suspicion.
Disagreement is welcome, and almost required to keep me from getting bored, but the slightest hint of rudeness brings out the vengeful pagan deity in me. This blog is my universe; I am not your warm, fuzzy New Testament kind of God, and I've got my finger poised over the Smite button, and am not afraid to use it. For those who have been drawn here expecting Catholic polemical fireworks, be warned that you will be expected to be able to talk about, music, art, gardening, Canadiana and the state of the weather with equal facility. Anyone being rude to me or the other guests or picking fights will be shown the awesome power of my wrath in short order. A disciplined congregation is a happy congregation.
Commbox rules are posted on the sidebar to your left. You will note that snark, anonymous posts or obvious pseudonyms are among the high crimes which will merit my swift and awful justice. Those New People I don't know caught flouting the rules will be smoted instantly without warning or apology. Are we clear?
I've been thinking in the last little while, as regulars will know, about the value of all this. I am made more and more acutely aware every day that the internet, the new Great Conversation, is, quite honestly, a realm of deception and distraction, as well as perhaps grave temtpation.
Are we not obliged to take pains to "avoid near occasions for sin"? Well, this week, I've been thinking about it more. I watched an interesting thing from the BBC last night, about a rather naive Church of England minister who went to live for a few weeks in a monk's cave in the Egyptian desert. It was full of hints and little naggings for me.
I just sent [more or less] this note to a friend who is a magazine publisher who is pestering me to write Catholic things for him:
Well, thanks to a couple of links the other day, one to the Remnant and the other to PewSitter, my Phil Lawler piece got picked up by gazillions and we had our first (nearly) 3000 pageview day at O's P. It's only one in the afternoon over there today and I'm already up to 1600.
And it's definitely making the temptations whisper in my ears again: "You could totally do this for a living. Zillions... at least thousands, of people would read you, everyone would think you're cool and smart. And they'd throw money at you..."
"And you'd be doing the world a favour! The Church neeeeds your voice, it neeeeeds your blunt honesty and clear thinking... everyone says it... you'd be doing the work of God..."
Approval, affirmation, fame... they've always been my biggest worldly desire and temptation. But I know exactly what this is. My parents got rid of me, like yesterday's embarrassing trash when I was fifteen and I spent the next 30 years fending for myself, convinced that I was the only person in the world whom I could count on and that if I didn't make it in the world, no one would help me or catch me if I crashed.
"You're on your own kid, and you'd better find a way to make people like you. All you've got going for you is your brain and your words, so baby, you better get smart, witty and clever in a hurry, or you're dead in a ditch." Buzz buzz buzz...
"You could be one of them famous polemicists...Become the Trad edition of Jimmy Akin...He makes barrels of money...You know you could, and you really want to..."
But in truth, I know exactly what that voice really is playing on. It's a combination of my neuroses, the result of fashionable 1970s parental neglect. It's telling me it's OK to looking to the world for the love I didn't get when and where I was supposed to. Which means it's really an indulgence in Fantasy, a chasing after something that isn't Real. And I'd rather be done with that.
I'm starting to think that what I've really been doing is steadily and single-mindedly pursuing my own fame and popularity since I started writing full time ten years ago (almost to the day, now I think of it). And for me it's the road to perdition.
Frankly, I'm lazy as hell, and if I were to actually put some effort in, I know I have the capacity to become one of those one-man industries, to that old crass self-promotion thing that you have to do to become a Media Personality, a "professional Catholic". I know I've got the necessary superpowers. It's in there. But I also think I'd be turning myself into the monster I've been trying to avoid becoming all this time.
Things are getting past the point where we have the leisure to pursue such things. That stuff is for peace time. In war, we have to stop playing games.
Oh great. A link from Kathy. Now I have to get the sails down.
Oh well, I'm going back to Norcia next week for a while, so things are going to be shut down here for a while anyway.

Who makes the Faith?
"Never criticise the pope" has never been a Catholic rule. Ever.
There has also never been a rule that says, "Only saints can criticise popes". Nor has there ever been any rule that says you can't criticise a pope on the internet or other public forums.
All that stuff is in fact made up. And pretty recently. Mostly since we started feeling, in the early 1980s, with more and more bishops going weird and wiggy on us, that the pope was the last bastion of sanity in a world gone pazzo. But the history of the Church is longer than the last 40 years.
To say that a pope is above any criticism simply because he's the pope is becoming one of the favourite mantras of the neocatholics and "conservatives" and it is not only "solemn nonsense" it is dangerous nonsense. To suggest that the pope is above criticism is to suggest that he makes the Faith. He doesn't. The pope is the servant of the Truth, not its maker. To say that a pope cannot be corrected by the faithful is really to suggest that the Faith, the Truth, is a subjective thing dependent upon the pope's personal approval. This would render it as fragile as political opinion (which, by the way, is precisely what the world/liberal Catholics want it to be.)
Here's a few snippets for consideration.
There's no "except the pope" caveat in the following:
Can. 212 §3 [The faithfull] have the right, indeed at times the duty, in keeping with their knowledge, competence and position, to manifest to the sacred Pastors their views on matters which concern the good of the Church. They have the right also to make their views known to others of Christ's faithful, but in doing so they must always respect the integrity of faith and morals, show due reverence to the Pastors and take into account both the common good and the dignity of individuals.
John XXII (r. 1316-1334) in a series of Sunday sermons asserted that the blessed departed do not see God until after the General Judgment. This would have undone the doctrine of the efficacy of prayers for the dead in Purgatory, among other consequences. The pope at the time was opposed, publicly, by theologians at the University Paris who said that while (by that time) the matter had never been defined as dogma, the Pope was in error, and they petitioned him to recant his opinion. Which he finally did. John XXII added at the time that he had never proposed the idea for the whole Church, and everyone had been free to disagree with him.
The Pope is infallible only when he: “speaks EX CATHEDRA, that is, when, in the exercise of his office as shepherd and teacher of all Christians, in virtue of his supreme apostolic authority, he defines a doctrine concerning faith or morals to be held by the whole Church…” (First Vatican Ecumenical Council, Sess. 3, cap. 4).
The Pope has no power to define doctrines as he pleases, for as Vatican I also teaches: “the Holy Spirit was promised to the successors of Peter not so that they might, by his revelation, make known some new doctrine, but that, by his assistance, they might religiously guard and faithfully expound the revelation or deposit of faith transmitted by the apostles.”
More to think about here.

When the Son of man comes, will He find faith on earth?
Seeing a lot of the "gates of hell" quote. Of course, I've had lots and lots of conversations with smarty-smart learned types about what, exactly, that really means. In the end, it was clear that it does not mean that the Church structures that we are used to seeing are going to survive. The conclusion reached in these discussions was something along the lines of, "As long as there is one Catholic left on that day," and, "Try to be that guy."
The Church will remain "visible" because this is one of its indefectible marks, but the question will be, "visible to whom?"
The late, lamented Mario Palmaro leaves us with a last note of encouragement:
In some little, out of the way church there will be always be a priest who celebrates the Mass in a holy way; in a little apartment a solitary old woman with unshakeable faith will say the Rosary; in a hidden corner of a House of Divine Providence a Sister will look after a baby considered by all as having no worth. Even when all seems lost, the Church, the City of God, continues to radiate its light on the City of Man.

"...A massive, looming threat that bids fair to pierce, penetrate and rend in twain Peter's barque..."
(Trust me, I'd rather be posting kitten videos...)
I just got this from a regular reader who forwarded it from Fr. Brian Harrison, a theology professor and writer who has done much to answer the sedevacantists' claims.
It is addressed to Dr. Robert Moynihan, who published it in the February edition of Inside the Vatican:
Dear Dr. Moynihan,
In your latest Letter from Rome, commenting on the new appointments to the College of Cardinals, you report rather nonchalantly that "[Archbishop Gerhard Ludwig] Müller is also known for having said that the Church's position on admitting to divorced and remarried Catholics to the sacrament of Communion is not something that can or will be changed. But other German Church leaders, including Cardinal Walter Kasper, have recently gone on record saying the teaching may and will be changed."
Your brief, matter-of-fact report on this controversy reminds me of the tip of an iceberg. It alludes to, but does not reveal the immensity of, a massive, looming threat that bids fair to pierce, penetrate and rend in twain Peter's barque – already tossing perilously amid stormy and icy seas. The shocking magnitude of the doctrinal and pastoral crisis lurking beneath this politely-worded dispute between scholarly German prelates can scarcely be overstated. For what is at stake here is fidelity to a teaching of Jesus Christ that directly and profoundly affects the lives of hundreds of millions of Catholics: the indissolubility of marriage.
The German bishops have devised a pastoral plan to admit divorced and remarried Catholics to Communion, whether or not a Church tribunal has granted a decree of nullity of their first marriage. Cardinal-elect Müller, as Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, has not only published a strong article in L'Osservatore Romano reaffirming the perennial Catholic doctrine confirmed by John Paul II in Familiaris Consortio; he has also written officially to the German Bishops' Conference telling them to rectify their heterodox pastoral plan. But the bishops, led by their conference president and by Cardinal Kasper, are openly defying the head of the CDF, and predicting that the existing doctrine and discipline will soon be changed!
Think of the appalling ramifications of this. If German Catholics don't need decrees of nullity, neither will any Catholics anywhere. Won't the world's Catholic marriage tribunals then become basically irrelevant? (Will they eventually just close down?) And won't this reversal of bimillennial Catholic doctrine mean that the Protestants and Orthodox, who have allowed divorce and remarriage for century after century, have been more docile to the Holy Spirit on this issue than the true Church of Christ? Indeed, how credible, now, will be her claim to be the true Church? On what other controverted issues, perhaps, has the Catholic Church been wrong, and the separated brethren right?
And what of Jesus' teaching that those who remarry after divorce commit adultery? Admitting them to Communion without a commitment to continence will lead logically to one of three faith-breaking conclusions: (a) our Lord was mistaken in calling this relationship adulterous - in which case he can scarcely have been the Son of God; (b) adultery is not intrinsically and gravely sinful - in which case the Church's universal and ordinary magisterium has always been wrong; or (c) Communion can be given to some who are living in objectively grave sin - in which case not only has the magisterium also erred monumentally by always teaching the opposite, but the way will also be opened to Communion for fornicators, practicing homosexuals, pederasts, and who knows who else? (And, please, spare us the sophistry that Jesus' teaching was correct "in his own historical and cultural context", but that since about Martin Luther's time that has all changed.)
Let us make no mistake: Satan is right now shaking the Church to her very foundations over this divorce issue. If anything, the confusion is becoming even graver than that over contraception between 1965 and 1968, when Paul VI's seeming vacillation allowed Catholics round the world to anticipate a reversal of perennial Church teaching. If the present Successor of Peter now keeps silent about divorce and remarriage, thereby tacitly telling the Church and the world that the teaching of Jesus Christ will be up for open debate at a forthcoming Synod of Bishops, one fears a terrible price will soon have to be paid.
Fr. Brian W. Harrison, O.S.
I think I would add only one reminder to Fr. Harrison's letter.
He writes,
But the bishops, led by their conference president and by Cardinal Kasper, are openly defying the head of the CDF, and predicting that the existing doctrine and discipline will soon be changed!
and I add that these men, whose express purpose has been to sunder the German Church from the Catholic Church and launch a new "Reformation", is opposed from Rome, thus far, by only one voice: that of Cardinal Muller, the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
The same men have since mocked and ridiculed Muller in public for this task, and among these men have been at least two members of the pope's "council of eight" - a body with no juridical or canonical status whatsoever. A third has been invited by the pope himself to give the keynote address on the business of the upcoming Synod of Bishops.
And the pope has said nothing.
Nothing, that is, except to praise Cardinal Kasper for his "serene" theology.
How can we imagine, after fifty years of unremitting and unprecedented crisis in the Catholic Church, that what is happening right now does not constitute a final culmination, a consummation of the unholy catastrophe we have endured for the five decades since the close of the Second Vatican Council?
And what is coming next?
Frankly, I think we all know.

I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot.
2003 from Ratzinger:
"In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty."
~ * ~
Today from Magister:
"Fernández explains the reserve of the then-archbishop of Buenos Aires:
"There were sectors that were putting a strong emphasis on doctrinal certainty, on the honor of the Church and its self-preservation, and that felt that they were represented by few ecclesial authorities. The sectors that had a plan even slightly different from these latter, like Cardinal Bergoglio and many others, were very respectful of these choices, or at the very least met them with silence.”
On February 22, 2011, the feast of the Chair of St. Peter, Bernardini delivered a homily that was interpreted by almost everyone as a harangue in defense of Benedict XVI but in reality was a concerted attack on Bergoglio.
The nuncio placed under accusation those priests, religious, and above all those bishops who were keeping a “low profile” and leaving the pope alone in the public battle in defense of the truth.
"We have to acknowledge," he said, “that there has increased year after year, among theologians and religious, among sisters and bishops, the group of those who are convinced that belonging to the Church does not entail the recognition of and adherence to an objective doctrine.”
In 2010, at the height of the episcopate's battle of to block the legalization of marriage between persons of the same sex in Argentina, there emerged the idea of holding a prayer vigil [in front of parliament]. Esteban Pittaro, of the 'Università Australe of Opus Dei, sent an e-mail to the chancery of Buenos Aires, telling them about the event. The following day he saw that he had missed a phone call and realized that it was a number of the archdiocese.
Esteban called back and Bergoglio answered in person. 'It seems like a wonderful thing to me that you should pray. But the fact that you want to spend all night in the plaza . . . It will be cold, go home, pray at home, as a family!” the cardinal told him. 'He supported the march, but he was right to discourage the vigil, because the following day there were demonstrations in fa for of homosexual marriage. And he wanted to avoid the contrast,' Pittaro recounts.”
The then-archbishop of Buenos Aires could not bear the “obsessive rigidity” of certain churchmen on questions of sexual morality. “He was convinced,” writes Elisabetta Piqué, " that the worst thing would be to insist and seek out conflict on these issues.”
Are we really still wondering about this?
What the pope really meant was...
Long post alert! Long post coming... move along...
Yes, it's a rare treat here at the Picnic: I'm going to tell you all, at tedious and tendentious length, exactly. what. I. think. (Oh BOY!!)
Those who've heard it, or don't care, may watch cat videos on YouTube until the bell rings.
I've written a lot in the past about the difference between "conservative" Catholics and Traditionalists. Perhaps I have failed to mention one of the most recognisable, however; that conservatives tend naturally towards any line that will maintain the status quo. Thus, in the face of deliberate campaigns to create change, conservatives respond with efforts to keep things the same, and so necessarily give ground a little at a time. Combine this with their unfortunate recent tendency towards an uncritical hyper-ultramontanism (sometimes derided as "papolotry" by people like... well... me,) that accepts everything and anything a pope says or doesn't say because he is the pope, and we have the phenomenon of incremental retreat, a long, slow giving-away of Catholic doctrine and practice in order to maintain the peace.
Now, before we go any further, I'd like to say that this is a position, a tendency, for which I have huge sympathy. Having at one time been among their ranks, I can say that the conservative reaction to what is happening in the Church is, for any believer, the natural one, particularly in a time when the Faith in its fullness is taught to almost no one outside the Traditionalist enclaves (all that scary, scary stuff about the Social Kingship of Christ... Yeee!) And in any time but ours, perhaps it would be sufficient. We have had so few times in history when the Faith of the Church has been under such constant attack from its own ministers and obedience to lawful authority is a virtue. I am not the only writer to have pointed out that the greatest trick the Devil ever played was not making everyone think he doesn't exist; it was using the virtue of obedience to destroy the Church.
I'd also like to say that I think conservatives are smart, sensible and cool. They are good Catholics, and many of them are heroic in their work to spread and defend the Faith. In a word, there's really not much important difference between us. In all the important, cosmic ways, they are us and we are them and we are all togethahh... kookoo ka joo. (That's a Gen-X pop culture reference.)
I say this because I was, through most of the John Paul II pontificate, a thoroughgoing neo-conservative who thought that if we only did what the pope says, we'll be fine. I saw the battle lines clearly drawn between The World - secularism, relativism, media-ism, feminism, even Marxism - and the Church, with the pope as the heroic figure leading us in the war. And let me tell you, it was a MIGHTY nice and appealing way to see the world. I knew that there were bad bishops and bad priests, but this was because there had been infiltrations at the national levels. I knew the war had entered the Church, but maintained the belief that the pope (and mostly by extension "the Vatican" he led,) was the place to look to for the answers.
And life was good. The world made sense. Then I started looking a little more deeply, and oh dear... oh deary me!
The thing that pushed me into being a clearly self-identified Traditionalist, and to recognising the difference between a Trad and a neo-con, was the presence of just too many logical contradictions, and too many places where the conservatives either didn't know about or were desperate to explain away the portions of the Faith that have been dropped (mysteriously?) since the council.
Seriously, becoming a Trad is no fun. It's like being forcibly removed from the Matrix, where things are difficult but do-able, and being tossed down the Rabbit Hole of Awful. It's why my friends and acquaintances are often puzzled when I tell them not to read LifeSite or even this blog. At least, don't read it too often. The facts we talk about at LSN can cause some acute discomfort for people who are given to connecting logical dots with too much facility. If you're not ready for it, it can be kind of traumatising.
All that being said, I can't help but think, again, that in his own painful way, Pope Francis is doing something for the Church that another "conservative" pontificate could not have done. He is making it very, very difficult to maintain that comfortable conservative middle ground. There are a lot of "conservatives" who are being forced to go to increasing lengths to try to maintain their position. This is a good thing. I believe that their position is the fence, and the fence is pointy and impossible to sit on forever. It's actually a good thing to get shoved off, for them and for the rest of us.
We have seen a lot of people, including a lot of priests, watching the goings on in Rome and starting to definitively pick sides. We've had a lot of indications that more people every day are realising that their position has been untenable, unsustainable.
The thing that makes me feel there is growing urgency for the conservatives to give up what I consider to be an untenable middle ground, is that as we go along, the "highest authorities in the Church" are putting more and more of the Faith down that post-conciliar memory hole. This is more or less what I mean when I say that Pope Francis, through his words and actions, and more importantly in his silences and inactions, is "closing the conservative middle ground".
All of this is by way of introduction, and disclaimer, when I go through an article that appeared on Wednesday on CatholicCulture.org, by Phil Lawler, that doughty Catholic culture warrior. Usually, I go to Phil when I need the Sensible Perspective. I don't always agree with his assessments, but I know that when I read him, I'm at least never going to be presented with the truncated and carefully edited version of the truth that one has come to expect from most Catholic media.
But today, Phil has taught me something in a different way. A more backhanded way. I'm not looking to pick a fight here, but Phil has given an opportunity to make a critique of the conservative position by laying it out in particularly stark terms. The subject is Pope Francis' latest interview, and the reaction to it by the mainstream media.
In my LSN thing on Thursday (published on Friday) I more or less said that the pope's own comments, (whether deliberately or not was beyond my ability to judge) had allowed and even invited the MSM and the Catholic world to take away that there could be some acceptance by the Catholic Church of homosexual civil unions. The ambiguities of the pope's own comments was what led the media to jump up and down with glee.
Phil, on the other hand, calls their reaction "astonishing".
Really? Seriously? I read the Corriere della Sera interview in English and Italian, and quite honestly, it looked to me like there was room enough to drive an aircraft carrier through the ambiguity-gap Francis left.
I honestly think Phil has missed the point. I'm sure he'll disagree. But I think the discussion could be useful. I thought a little fisking could be helpful to allow readers to do a compare and contrast and maybe come to some kind of conclusion.
Phil: Seven months before the Synod of Bishops meets to discuss pastoral care for the family, one can easily foresee how the mass media will cover the prelates’ discussion. It is not easy to predict which themes will emerge as most prominent in the Synod fathers’ debates. But it is very easy to predict which themes will dominate the media coverage.
HJW: Yep, it totally is easy. We know exactly what the media's Catholic memes are, what they are and are not interested in. We also know that they have framed the discussion in a particular way, with particular parameters. Which is why when a pope or a cardinal or bishop says anything about anything, we sometimes cringe because we can see, as media-savvy people, exactly and in detail how the media is going to ram it into their meme-boxes. We know exactly what kinds of things bishops sometimes say - those little ambiguities and vaguenesses - that make the media slaver, and Francis has said exactly those things, [in a way that Benedict NEVER would have, I might add].
Phil: From the perspective of the secular media, the key question pending at the bishops’ meeting—really the only question that the media consider worthy of coverage—is whether the Catholic Church will back away from her traditional teachings on contraception, homosexuality, and divorce. The answer to that question is No. But reporters, prodded by "progressive" Catholics, keep implying that the question is unresolved. Regrettably, some conservative Catholics are encouraging them.
HJW: Yes. We know from long, long experience that the mainstream secular media believe the Catholic Church's teachings consist entirely of prohibitions against sex. We also know that the Catholic media spends a lot of its time following this lead. We can't help it. The MSM is in charge of the debate-framing, so we really have no choice but to talk about those things. But we cannot blame them alone for "implying that the question is unresolved". We can certainly track very clearly indeed the many places where high-ranking prelates have helped to create that impression. The names Nichols, Danneels, Mahoney, Martini, etc, spring to mind. Why would we think that a pope could not be among this group?
About the second thing: about how the Church is absolutely and inevitably going to say "No" to changes in doctrine. Here is where I begin to differ with Phil. Of course, the Church is not going to change the doctrine any more than a committee of physicists could rescind the law of gravity. But there is a lot that a pope, a pontificate, can do, as we have seen in the last fifty years to make the actual, written-down doctrine of the Church functionally irrelevant. And I'll prove it: Phil, go to Mass on Sunday at any suburban American parish. Find a parishioner who knows what Humanae Vitae and Evangelium Vitae were about, and ask him, "What doctrine of the Faith was the papal encyclical Quas Primas about?"
The fact that the Church officially "teaches" this or that unpopular thing can be rendered utterly moot by a global decision of all prelates never, ever to mention it to anyone ever again.
But it's in the next bit of Phil's article that things really get interesting...
Phil: Influential voices within the Church are already calling for wholesale doctrinal changes.
HJW: Yes, they definitely have. Very, very loudly. And what has the pope, perhaps the chattiest pope we've ever had, said in response to this? Anything? Anything at all?
We've had Muller saying quite a few things. And then we have had two of the members of pope's own hand-picked group of eight cardinals saying that he needs to "loosen up". And what has the pope said about that? Anything? < crickets chirping> ... Bueller?
So the man appointed to the office whose purpose is to defend the doctrine of the Church is being left in the cold, while two of the members of this "in-group" that has, as far as anyone knows, no juridical or canonical status whatsoever, are allowed to attack him publicly for doing his job, with total impunity.
I wonder if Francis has ever heard the legal expression, "He who remains silent is understood to agree." I know I am not the only one who has observed that Francis is approaching "curial reform" by totally sidelining the Curia, undercutting its work and ignoring the outcome, all while favouring this "group".
Phil: The bishops of Germany, having found that most lay Catholics in their country reject or ignore Church teachings, have thrown up their hands and hinted—or in a few cases said quite clearly—that Church stands on sexual issues must change.
HJW: Oh, I don't think we need to be doing any polite little tiptoes around the situation in Germany. They certainly aren't being coy about it. The German bishops have gone beyond saying that the Church's teaching and practice must change on sexuality; they are now quite openly calling for separation of the German Catholic Church from Rome: (what we used to call "schism,") and the creation of national Churches.
And again, has the pope had very much or anything at all to say about this? In other times, we might have thought that an entire national episcopate calling openly for schism might be a little more ... newsworthy... But the only thing we have is, again, one statement from poor, ignored and beleaguered Muller, echoing in the context of a ringing silence from his superior.
Phil: An American bishop has made the illogical claim: “Catholics have made up their minds and the sensus fidelium suggests the rejection of Church teaching on this subject.” An English Catholic newspaper has published an editorial referring to the Church’s stand on sexual issues as a “state of denial,” and lauding the Catholics who find Church teachings “incomprehensible or just plain wrong.”
To be sure, then, there are plenty of calls for change—as there have been demands for change in Catholic doctrine since time immemorial. But to complicate matters, the proponents of change today claim that Pope Francis endorses their ideas.
HJW: Now hold on there for just a second. Has the Holy Father said or done anything, anything at all in the last year, that might have justified that impression? Nothing? Can't think of a thing? Really?
Phil: That English newspaper, the Tablet, quoted the Holy Father’s reference to “pastoral consequences that we are called to consider with prudence and boldness,” and leapt to the conclusion that the Pope was advocating some major changes in Church teaching.
HJW: I have been noticing a little dodge that some conservatives are using. They point to something like the Tablet and say, with widened and innocent eyes, "What was there in this article that could possibly have given this impression? You're leaping to some pretty wild conclusions there, buddy."
But the Tablet, and others, are not looking solely at this or that one article, are they? They are looking at all the signals big and small that Francis has given over the last year taken together, and reading the current piece in that context. And isn't this what they're supposed to be doing? Haven't we heard for decades that the "liberal press" is always taking this or that papal statement out of the greater context of the other things he's said and done?
In case after case, when Francis has talked he has been vague, ambiguous and even obstreperous, ("We don't need to go on and on about it...") and when there have been opportunities to make strong, clear statements, he has remained silent. Tell me, Phil, what other conclusion do you expect them to take away?
Phil: Virtually every day’s news headlines include at least one story suggesting that the Pope is questioning some long-standing Church policy. Today, for instance, a USA Today headline announces: “Pope Francis leaves door open for same-sex unions.”
In fact, in the interview on which the story was based, the Pope only said that secular governments might have various reasons of their own for providing legal protection for non-marital unions.
“One needs to see the different cases and evaluate them in their variety,” the Holy Father said.
The interviewer did not press him on the subject, so we do not know under what circumstances—if any—the Pope might think the Church could accept some legal recognition of same-sex unions.
HJW: Hooo-Kay, we're really going to just accept this? We're OK with the unmistakable fact that he did, in fact "leave the door open" to acceptance, in some realm or other and on a case-by-case basis, to legal recognition of same-sex civil unions, then.
So, let's just let that sink in: a pope has said, with not a whiff or hint of disapproval that "secular governments" could have "reasons of their own" for giving recognition to "non-marital unions," aaaand we're OK with this...
He has said it blandly and with total neutrality, as if it is absolutely none of his business whatsoever what "secular governments" do. His business is only with the Church. And this is no big deal.
Are we saying that what a pope says or does about the moral realm stops at some invisible line between the Church and the State? Is that what you're going with?
Phil: In the full interview the Pope did, however, firmly reassert the Church’s teaching on a closely related issue: “Marriage is between a man and a woman.”
HJW: Oh well then, we can all go home. I feel so much better.
Let's take another look at the full quote:
Corriera della Sera: Many countries have regulated civil unions. Is it a path that the Church can understand? But up to what point?
Holy Father: Marriage is between one man and one woman. The secular States want to justify civil unions to regulate different situations of coexistence, spurred by the need to regulate economic aspects between persons as, for instance, to ensure healthcare. Each case must be looked at and evaluated in its diversity.
It must? That's funny, because I think I remember another recent pope who said ... not to put too fine a point on it.. exactly the opposite.
Let's imagine for a moment that Corriere della Sera was interviewing Benedict XVI. What might he say about it? Hmmm... let's look through the blue magic mirror of our imaginations and see if we can guess...
There are absolutely no grounds for considering homosexual unions to be in any way similar or even remotely analogous to God's plan for marriage and family. Marriage is holy, while homosexual acts go against the natural moral law. Homosexual acts “close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved”
Woah! That was easy, huh? Let's see if the magic mirror has anything else for us...
Faced with the fact of homosexual unions, civil authorities adopt different positions. At times they simply tolerate the phenomenon; at other times they advocate legal recognition of such unions, under the pretext of avoiding, with regard to certain rights, discrimination against persons who live with someone of the same sex. In other cases, they favour giving homosexual unions legal equivalence to marriage properly so-called, along with the legal possibility of adopting children.
Where the government's policy is de facto tolerance and there is no explicit legal recognition of homosexual unions, it is necessary to distinguish carefully the various aspects of the problem:
Moral conscience requires that, in every occasion, Christians give witness to the whole moral truth, which is contradicted both by approval of homosexual acts and unjust discrimination against homosexual persons. Therefore, discreet and prudent actions can be effective; these might involve:
- unmasking the way in which such tolerance might be exploited or used in the service of ideology;
- stating clearly the immoral nature of these unions;
- reminding the government of the need to contain the phenomenon within certain limits so as to safeguard public morality
- and, above all, to avoid exposing young people to erroneous ideas about sexuality and marriage that would deprive them of their necessary defences and contribute to the spread of the phenomenon.
- Those who would move from tolerance to the legitimization of specific rights for cohabiting homosexual persons need to be reminded that the approval or legalization of evil is something far different from the toleration of evil.
1) Until now, the papal statements, even since the Council, on moral issues have started with the assumption that the pope gets to talk about what the State should and should not do. We have never before made the distinction that a pope, when speaking on a matter of public morals, was "only" addressing what the State should do or what the Church should do, and that the two things have nothing to do with each other.
We know, or at least we did know, that when a pope talks about moral things, he means for it to apply to everyone, in every sphere, everywhere. No one ever suggested that John Paul II, in talking about the moral evils of abortion and euthanasia in Evangelium Vitae, was only talking about what the government should do, or what the Church could accept or not accept. He said, simply, abortion is wrong, a grave moral evil and outrage against justice. That means, it can't be accepted by anyone, anywhere, ever. We used to know that when a pope said something, anything, about something to do with the moral life, he meant it to be applicable across the board, in public and private life.
2) We used to understand, as Catholics, that this whole notion of "separation of Church and state" was a barely tolerable legal fiction, at best. It was, in fact, condemned by the popes in the past because of precisely this, that it might lead people to make a radical separation in their lives between their "Church selves" and their "civil selves" between Christian life and their day-to-day life in the world. That we could be "good Catholics" on Sundays and "good secularists" at work through the week. That we could be, for instance, a politician who is "personally opposed to abortion" but would not dream of trying to impose "his views" on others through the law.
Phil: Yes, it is true that in that interview with an Italian newspaper, Pope Francis might have “left the door open” to acceptance of some legal same-sex unions—by the state, not the Church.
HJW: And this distinction is important... wwhhhyyyy, exactly? I'm pretty sure the pope, the interviewer and all the readers knew the question was about the pope's opinion about what the state does. No one thought he was asking about the Vatican City State. Is it OK that he allows it for the State, as long as we don't have to have civil unions ceremonies in St. Peter's?
Phil: At least he did not slam the door shut.
HJW: But that's the whole point. He was supposed to do exactly that. He's the pope. He's supposed to say things like, "It's wrong. It's wrong for anyone, either the Church or the state." Let's look at it another way: if the interviewer had asked the pope his opinions about whether the Church could possibly see its way to approving legalised brothels, and he had said, "Well, not for the Church, of course. For us, the sexual act is restricted to a married man and woman. But what the state does has to be examined on a case-by-case basis, in all their diversity."
I'm slightly confused by Phil's use of the expression "at least" and "slam the door shut," as though this is undesirable behaviour in a pope. Isn't that what we want and expect from popes on grave matters of morals, both public and private? If he had been talking about any other subject, abortion, slavery, genocide, or even divorce, would we really be asking whether he meant only to allow consideration of the possibility...but only by the state...? What does that even mean?
Phil: But in an interview in which he offered that clear defense of marriage—an interview in which he also praised Pope Paul VI for his controversial encyclical Humanae Vitae, and offered a defense of the Church’s response to the sex-abuse scandal—how could a journalist conclude that the Pope’s vague, off-hand remarks on same-sex unions were the most newsworthy part of the interview?
HJW: OK, here's where I go out on a limb. The issue of natural marriage is a closed one for the Church (for now) and the interviewer, the pope and the readers, including the homosexualist activists, knew he would say exactly that. This is not where the wedge is being placed. There isn't, for the moment, a weak spot there yet. Which is why they have all given him an easy pass on it. Every one of the "gay rights" campaigners interviewed said as much. What they were all looking for was exactly what the pope gave them: ambiguity, a maybe and a "let's talk about it." So, no. His "defence of marriage" isn't newsworthy at all. (And contraception? Srsly? Does anyone still even know the Church is against that? Does anyone care?)
So, yes, Phil, obviously the pope's ambiguities, his "vague offhand remarks" about the Church accepting same-sex civil unions in any way, even for governments, even on a case-by-case basis, is every bit as huge, as earth-shattering a story as the media is (still today) making it out to be.
How could it be otherwise? They know better than anyone where the weakest point of the weakest point is found in the modern Church. They know that we've had decades of moral discontinuity on homosexuality, civil unions and "gay marriage" among the clergy. They know that there are thousands of active and inactive homosexual priests, bishops and prelates in the Church currently agitating, in quiet ways and loud ways, for the Church to accept homosexuality.
And they know that within the broader issue of homosexuality, this spot right. here. is where to aim the blows: right at the oh-so-reasonable argument that it's really just about dealing justly with people already in such situations, to give them legal and economic and financial protection. It's such a little spot, isn't it? But the whole weight of the Faith is resting behind it... and they know it.
And as Catholics, Phil, you and I are better positioned even than they to understand exactly why. What the secularists in the media sense dimly, we know concretely: that everything, every. single. thing. the Church teaches dogmatically is inextricably connected to every other thing. We know, as they sense, that if the Church caves on this, the whole thing is going to go. Not because, as Francis once put it, it is a "house of cards" waiting to fall at the slightest pressure. But because of the nature of Truth itself, that True things cannot contradict one another. And so for the Trinity, the Eucharist, the Ascension to be true, all the rest of it must also be true, absolutely without exception.
They know that if they can bring the Church to admit just this one little thing, just pinch this one, tiny little fragment of a grain, the whole thing will follow. If truth is not consistent with itself, if it contradicts itself on any single point, it fails utterly.
Phil: That could happen only because the reporter (or the headline writer) was looking at the transcript with the issue of same-sex marriage uppermost in his mind, and exaggerated the importance of an exchange that formed only a small part of a long interview. (It is astonishing that the Catholic News Service, the agency supported and subsidized by the US bishops’ conference, ran the story under a headline quite similar to that in USA Today.)
HJW: No. That happened because the reporter understood better than most conservative pundits, that the Truth is a zero-sum game; there can't be any grey areas, any compromise. Truth is not a political or diplomatic project. So, really it's not astonishing at all, it simply means that they know their job. They understand: that you hit the Church very precisely there. And hit it as hard as you can, with an interview with the Pope himself.
The other reason CNS, and the rest of the world, ran the headlines is, simply, because it's true. And you have said it yourself. The pope, even by suggesting that the Church could consider accepting any legal equivalency to marriage by anything other than actual marriage, a man and a woman bonded for life, by the state or anyone else, has said something utterly novel, utterly shocking. It is, in the purest sense, news.
Phil: Actually it should be no surprise that, in a quick response to a quick question, the Pope did not slam the door shut. Pope Francis has made a determined effort to avoid blanket prohibitions. He does not want to be perceived as another “Pio Nono,” because he does not want to reinforce the popular caricature of the Church as stern and inflexible. Rather, he wants to make winsome arguments, to appeal to a world that has lost its moral compass, above all to drive home the message that everyone can enjoy the benefits of God’s unlimited mercy.
HJW: Wait...what?! Are you serious?! He doesn't want to be perceived as another Pius IX? Making "blanket prohibitions"?
Perceived? ...
Blanket prohibitions?! ...
Phil, can you explain to me how you think the world "lost its moral compass" in the first place? Could it be that this has been lost in, oh let's say, the last 50 years or so, because we have had two or three generations of church leaders who refuse to make "blanket prohibitions" against immorality? We've had decades of with-it grooviness from the Church and the world, all congratulating each other on how they have moved beyond making "blanket prohibitions" against sexual or other kinds of sins.
Could this total failure to give the world any sound direction in morals have had anything at all to do with priests, bishops and prelates being overly concerned with how the world "perceives" them? More concerned with not being "perceived" as overly ... oh, what's the term again... judgmental? than they are with either defending the Faith, or with saving souls from everlasting death?
And here's another little question for you. Are you absolutely sure you meant to say that he doesn't want to be "perceived" as another Pio Nono? There mightn't have been anyone else in mind, mightn't there? Someone more recent?
Phil: Thus the Pope has challenged the Synod of Bishops to find new ways to address the problems of families, especially those families that are struggling.
Err... struggling with what, exactly, Phil? What is the Synod going to address? Have there been any signs, any signs at all, about which particular struggles of the family the Synod might be addressing? No? Not a single hint? Have there been any highly-placed and highly-favoured theologian-cardinals saying anything about it? Any who might have been described glowingly by Francis as giving a "serene" theological discussion? Nothing coming to mind?
Phil: Following his predecessor Pope Benedict XVI, he has made a special call for pastoral attention to Catholics who, because they are divorced and remarried, are barred from the sacraments. Nowhere has he suggested that the Church should change her teaching or her perennial practice. He has merely called for a discussion. But again commentators have gleefully leapt to the conclusion that the Pope favors such changes
HJW: OK, maybe there's some "discussion" to be had on how to better teach divorced and civilly remarried why they cannot receive Communion, or something else that does not involve changing the doctrine. But that doesn't seem to be what his closest advisors think, and it certainly isn't what the German bishops (who put huge pressure on Benedict for exactly this Synod and failed to get it) want. What the men he trusts as his "inner circle" are thinking and wanting is coming clearer by the day. And who is fighting the battle against this pressure? Is it Francis? No, no it isn't. It's Muller. And he's been doing it alone.
Phil: A substantive change in Church teaching is highly unlikely. The Synod may recommend some pastoral provisions, such as steps to allow easier access to annulments. (Such provisions would probably not have much practical impact in the US, where annulments are already granted to nearly everyone who applies.) In his address to a special consistory in February, Cardinal Walter Kasper proposed a special penitential process that might allow for reconciliation of remarried couples under rare circumstances.
HJW: Uhhh... Phil? That's not what Kasper was suggesting. Kasper was suggesting that while the Church can't change it's doctrine on the indissolubility of marriage, she should just ignore it. To make people feel better about themselves.
Oh, and that priests should be made to desecrate the Eucharist by giving it to people whom he knows to be in a state of objective mortal sin.
We're sailing merrily past this pretty easily here and I'm just wondering why.
Phil: The coverage from the October Synod meeting will suggest that the “moderate” forces for change were stymied by the entrenched “ultraconservatives.” Insofar as Pope Francis will ultimately support existing doctrine, journalists who have been enthralled by the new Pontiff will be devastated, just as liberal journalists of an earlier generation were disappointed when Pope Paul VI confirmed Church teaching in Humanae Vitae.
HJW: Yeah, it's funny you should mention H.V. because I've been talking about the similarities too. And I think these similarities are more important than anyone has yet realised. These liberal journalists (anyone else? *cough*Canadianbishops*cough*) weren't disappointed for long. They immediately went out and simply changed the public perception of Humanae Vitae so that the world figured they had permission to just shrug and keep on fornicatin'.
As I commented the other day on FB:
As always, it's important to take our lessons from history, and we have a good 'un from Humanae Vitae: now that the Kasper Solution has been "leaked" we have simply to wait and allow the media dispersal do its work.
The process will be even more efficient this time, since we have the internet to help aerosolize the ...errr... shall we say, "new teaching" into the general culture, released, so to speak, into the atmosphere.
By the time the Synod rolls around in October, it won't matter a tinker's damn what Pope Francis says or writes. He could issue Humanae Vitae II after the Synod, but by that time, the new practice will be universal, and the national conferences will have their Winnipeg Statements all ready to launch, and bob's yer uncle...
A job well-done, your eminences and excellencies of [Kasper's] "New Paradigm".
Phil:At the Synod meeting and in the weeks that follow, some German bishops will keep pushing the car, assisted by dissident theologians. Journalists, watching from a nearby hill, will wonder why Pope Francis and other bishops are resisting them. In the late 1960s and through the 1970s, debates along these lines wreaked havoc within the Church.
HJW: Well, I have a rule about never talking about the future in concrete terms. It doesn't pay. But if you're right about Francis choosing the right side, I'll buy you a beer the next time you're in town.
I must say, though, that one of the things I miss about being a neo-con was the unquestioning confidence I had that the pope would never, ever do anything to deliberately hurt the Church.
Then, altar girls.
I'll leave Phil alone from there, but I'd like to leave y'all with one more little bit of the imaginary interview with Benedict:
Interviewer: Holy Father, what are Catholics obligated to do in situations where same-sex civil unions have already been established? Can we accommodate them as a fait accompli? Can we simply tolerate them, and move on?
Benedict XVI: In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty.
One must refrain from any kind of formal cooperation in the enactment or application of such gravely unjust laws and, as far as possible, from material cooperation on the level of their application.
In this area, everyone can exercise the right to conscientious objection.

Pope Francis gives another interview
Or, how I learned to stop worrying and love the apocalypse...
While the MSM seems only to be concerned with the pope and gays, there is a lot more going on here. Pope Francis answered questions on a stream of “hot-button” Catholic issues, including (translating the politely coded language) female ordination, divorce, abortion and contraception. And as before, there were comments in this latest interview that have a lot of people worried.
I know (from the flurry of emails and Facebook messages I received) that I am not the only one who noticed that he talked about contraception and Humanae Vitae, for example, in the same way that Cardinal Kasper talked the other day about the indissolubility of marriage: that it is a wonderful, unchangeable doctrine of the Faith, “prophetic” and given to us by the highest possible authorities…but…
Did I feel a faint whisper of Winnipeg’s cold breeze blowing in my ear when I read this?
It all depends on how the text of ‘Humanae Vitae’ is interpreted. Paul VI himself, towards the end, recommended to confessors much mercy and attention to concrete situations…The object is not to change the doctrine, but it is a matter of going into the issue in depth and to ensure that the pastoral ministry takes into account the situations of each person and what that person can do.
one, two, three...
I do not think that word means what you think it means.
Not much time to talk today, but I thought I would toss this out there. It's about the lack of discussion over what, exactly, "rights" means, and where these "rights" come from and what they are for. I'm just doing a quick story on a talk by Cardinal Peter Turkson today on the subject, and I was very chuffed to see that he's been reading Orwell's Picnic regularly...
"...Perhaps proponents [of 'ideologies that attempt to rewrite human rights or create new ones'] are misled by the fact that fundamental rights can be expressed in different particular manners in different social and cultural contexts. A “healthy realism” will recognize that this variation is compatible with the universal character of the underlying rights, and it will block the misguided proliferation of pretended rights:
A healthy realism, therefore, is the foundation of human rights, that is, the acknowledgement of what is real and inscribed in the human person and in creation. When a breach is caused between what is claimed and what is real through the search of so-called 'new' human rights, a risk emerges to reinterpret the accepted human rights vocabulary to promote mere desires and measures that, in turn, become a source of discrimination and injustice and the fruit of self-serving ideologies"
Something that very few people ever talk about is just where "human rights" come from. Many secularists assume that "rights" are really privileges granted by governments, and as such are changeable by human decree. But Cardinal Turkson said today that they have a transcendent origin, and our understanding of them is dependent upon our observation of and adherence to The Real.
Something that STILL isn't being said, however, even at the highest levels of the Vatican, is that rights are inextricably connected with duties. In reality, we only have those "rights" which we require to do our duties.

Shooting starts at 4 am, Rome time
KIEV (Reuters) - Russia's Black Sea Fleet has told Ukrainian forces in Crimea to surrender by 5 a.m. (0300 GMT) on Tuesday or face a military assault, Interfax news agency quoted a source in the Ukrainian Defence Ministry as saying.
The ultimatum, Interfax said, was issued by Alexander Vitko, the fleet's commander.
The ministry did not immediately confirm the report and there was no immediate comment by the Black Sea Fleet, which has a base in Crimea, where Russian forces are in control.
"If they do not surrender before 5 a.m. tomorrow, a real assault will be started against units and divisions of the armed forces across Crimea," the agency quoted the ministry source as saying.

Umm... Holy Father? Now might be a good time for that consecration of Russia to Our Lady.

Kakure Kirishitan
Here's an interesting bit of the history of the Church ...apropos of absolutely nothing whatever.
Japan's "Hidden Christians," or Kakure Kirishitan. In the 1540s, Jesuit, Franciscan and Dominican missionaries came to Japan and set up shop, converting lots and lots of people, including members of the aristocracy. Then one day, there was a regime change (as they say these days) and suddenly, the Christians were considered enemies o the state. So, Christianity was banned and the left-over Christians were arrested and executed... but not nicely.
On February 5, 1597, twenty-six Christians – six European Franciscan missionaries, three Japanese Jesuits and seventeen Japanese laymen, including two young boys, were crucified. On September 10, 1632, 55 Christians were martyred in Nagasaki. In the end, the number of martyrs reached about 1000, with about 200,000 Christians surviving and retaining the Faith in secret.
The ones who survived became this thing, Kakure Kirishitan. There were no sacraments, no hierarchy and few priests until Christians were re-admitted to the country in the 19th century. The remaining believers had nothing but the Faith.
Ongoing persecution included the attempt by the State to force everyone to formally adhere to the recognised state religion, Buddhism in this case.
The Buddhist ecclesiastical establishment was made responsible for verifying that a person was not a Christian through what became known as the "temple guarantee system" (terauke seido). By the 1630s, people were being required to produce a certificate of affiliation with a Buddhist temple as proof of religious orthodoxy, social acceptability and loyalty to the regime.
The Japanese government used Fumie to reveal practicing Catholics and sympathizers. Fumie were pictures of the Virgin Mary and Christ. Government officials made everybody trample on these pictures. People reluctant to step on the pictures were identified as Catholics and then sent to Nagasaki. The policy of the Japanese government (Edo) was to turn them from their faith. If the Catholics refused to change their religion, they were tortured. Many of them still refusing to abandon their faith were executed on Nagasaki's Mount Unzen.
Hidden Christians continued to practice their faith in secret: "As time went on, the figures of the saints and the Virgin Mary were transformed into figurines that looked like the traditional statues of the Buddha and bodhisattvas. The prayers were adapted to sound like Buddhist chant, yet retained many untranslated words from Latin, Portuguese and Spanish. The Bible and other parts of the liturgy were passed down orally, due to fears of printed works being confiscated by authorities. Because of the expulsion of the Catholic clergy in the 17th century, the Kakure Christian community relied on lay leaders to lead the services."
Is it time to freak out yet? ... How about now?
Awake half the night, alternately worrying about signs and portents and looking up the rental prices of caves in Umbria.
This morning was a three-cup coffee morning.

The Military airport in Crimea has been taken over by Russian troops.
What a GREAT plan!
I'm excited to be a part of it...
What direction is Pope Francis taking the church in? …
Well, it’s the same direction that the Catholic Church has been taking, especially in Latin America, since 1978, and then before since 1968.
I, for one, welcome our new Liberation Theology Overlords. Everybody start practising their liturgical tangos.

The “exhausted majority”
Angry Bear | February 21, 2023 10:40 am
At Infidel753 blog, author Infidel has a great commentary from February 14th. He discusses an “exhausted majority” making up America which has found the ongoing politics to be unacceptable, having checked out of either side of the battle. Granted, the politics of elections and the thereafter has turned into a mudslinging contest. The news media reporting has helped to bring it to a new low. People do not even want to listen to the 20 of the 30 minutes of reported news after commercials are over.
Infidel753: The “exhausted majority,” Infidel753 Blog
The term “exhausted majority” has come up a few times recently in discussion, and it’s important to be clear about what it means. It is not just another term for “centrist” or “moderate”, and it should not be allowed to degenerate into one. As far as I know, the term originates here, from a study “The hidden tribes of America” which analyzes the political left and right wings:
While the story of the Wings may be one of division and conflict, a very different story is found in the rest of America. In fact, the largest group that we uncovered in our research has so far been largely overlooked. It is a group of Americans we call the Exhausted Majority — our collective term for the four tribes, representing a two-thirds majority of Americans, who aren’t part of the Wings. Although they appear in the middle of our charts and graphs, most members of the Exhausted Majority aren’t political centrists or moderates. On specific issues, their views range across the spectrum. But while they hold a variety of views, the members of the Exhausted Majority are also united in important ways:
They are fed up with the polarization plaguing American government and society….. [they] are so frustrated with the bitter polarization of our politics that many have checked out completely….. they aren’t ideologues who dismiss as evil or ignorant the people who don’t share their exact political views. They want to talk and to find a path forward.
This is a profoundly positive development. It’s horrifically toxic to have politics dominated by two opposing camps which view each other with fear, loathing, and incomprehension, refusing to listen to anything that doesn’t fit their existing narrative. The important message here is that those two camps don’t speak for everyone, or even for the majority. Most of us are sick to death of them. As long-time readers know, I’ve made an effort to cut down the amount of politics on this blog, and at times have completely disengaged from politics for a while, because it’s become so poisonous and stupid.
(If you’re thinking “it’s not that bad”, there are blogs and other sites where I regularly see statements like “there is no such thing as a moderate Republican” or images like this:
….. posted with the apparent full approval of the readership. It’s at least as easy to find similarly insane demonization of the left on some right-wing sites. They call everyone on the left “Marxist” and “communist” the same way the far-left crazies call everyone on the right “fascist” and “racist”. Yes, it is that bad.)
I definitely consider myself a member of the “exhausted majority”, and I don’t really regard myself as a centrist. Politics isn’t a simple left-to-right spectrum, anyway. For example, I believe I’m being logically coherent by being strongly pro-choice on both abortion rights and gun rights, whereas the left and right are incoherent in their inconsistent views on those issues. I view the current Democratic party as far too weak on labor-rights issues — I’d align much more with Bernie Sanders than with Biden in that area. Most of my other views stem more from my anti-religion stance and respect for science than from anything political. But what I share with other “exhausted majority” people of all viewpoints is the desire for the end of the scorched-earth, dead-end polarization and demonization that dominates politics. Part of what I look for in politicians, activist groups, and bloggers is a willingness to at least read viewpoints different from their own, to give credit where due when someone on the “other side” shows moderation, to recognize where common interests can exist, to refrain from tarring everyone on the “other side” with the brush of that side’s worst extremists.
The real radical crazies are irredeemable, but they’re a minority, even if they’re making most of the noise. Ultimately the sane people on both “sides” have to find a way to take the country back from them, instead of allowing ourselves to be herded into the existing opposing camps that view each other with hatred and incomprehension.

Silva:
Why do you agree with Infidel? What most Repubs want and many Dems in positions of authority is a sedate, placid, willing, believing, etc., constituency.
I was talking to the City Council in my small city about corporate HOAs, ungated developments, and how they are allowed to mandate parking, etc. There was no uniformity amongst HOA communities in how they control such. Furthermore, yhe state does not allow such even if the city agrees to it.
I was chastised by the unelected City Manager who was out-of-order by Robert’s rules. City Council just sat there while their hired hand was on the attack. If I answered, I would have been declared out-of-order and escorted out. Not done with this yet.
At a State House Committee meeting, one representative was making false claims about constituents should know what they are getting into. They would only know if the information was presented to them. In most cases concerning this issue it is not. I finally answered him with “I am sorry, that is not true.”
My X-Judge friend put his hand on my arm to silence me. We were there to testify. I was out-of-order in this case. But when do you finally stand up and say “no?” No, this is not correct. He answered, I should be sorry. I cut him short and from then on he was quiet.
Push yourself away from the table and say “No more Jello for me sir or mom.”
You can use that quote either way and check out of society and the politics of it or you can answer like I did without the “I am sorry.”
Why would you not push back?
Your second sentence encapsulates the problem. You assert that what “most” politicians want are docile constituencies. How precise is your knowledge of this “fact” you assert so confidently?
Further, the example of your own advocacy is also illuminating, but is hardly what I would call “extreme” (and I consider it likely that Infidel might agree). You were using the existing political structure to raise your concerns in what sounds to me like a very appropriate way. Yet you assume that I would not support your speaking out. Why? I don’t read Infidel as saying one should never speak out – just that, over the long term, extremism is not an effective way to speak out, because it is simply too exhausting. Eventually, no matter how effective it is in the short term, eventually support erodes and/or the extremists consume their own.
Then you appear to assume that I, by simply agreeing with Infidel’s points, have “checked out of society and the politics of it.” Have we met? Do you have any information whatsoever about my level of engagement in society and politics?
The problem with extremists, IMHO, is that they make too many unwarranted assumptions about those with whom they do not immediately or consistently agree. Further, they are not open to learning where their thinking may not be well-founded. Their minds are closed.
Do not mistake the vocal advocacy of extremists as indicating that they are “checked-in” to society and the politics thereof. I would assert that they are the ones who are truly “checked-out” because they are unwilling to listen to, let alone compromise with, opposing views.
None of us sees or knows the whole truth about anything, and each of us is mistaken far more often than we are correct. Period. That is, I think, a fundamental part of the mindset required for living in a world that has other people in it; as such, extremists (and you are clearly not one), lack that fundamental mindset.
Siva:
Not trying to pick a fight. I am curious. When do you say enough?
Whenever you need to. But always recognizing that 1) you may be wrong in your assumptions; 2) you are more likely than not to fail in the short term; and 3) that your method of saying “enough” will speak volumes to all who observe, and will affect their willingness and/or ability to support or oppose you.
Choose your battles wisely. Is the point that enflames you really sufficient justification for sustained effort? Or is it simply one small part of a much larger cause?
Remember that the NAACP had a decades-long strategy to overcome racial discrimination by using the courts. That strategy won the war in the courts of law, but apparently has not sufficiently prevailed in the courts of public opinion; at least not enough to overcome the political maneuvering of its opponents.
What is the progressive long-term strategy? I see no evidence of it.
“And I always thought
That even the simplest words should be enough:
You’ll go down if you don’t stand up for yourself,
Surely you see that.”
This was in the trash. Things sometimes go there. If you put it there, you can trash it again and I will not retrieve it. I moderate here too. Thank you for your commentary. I wish Infidel had stayed around. He is incredibly sharp.
Off topic for a moment. We did lose Barkley a short while ago. Just so you know and are looking for him.
If I talk to something and make a stance on the topic, I am going to be correct in the long run. In early 1980-somthing, I was the P&IC manager for a hydraulic and air cylinder mfg division of Parker Hannifin. I went to the plant manager and explained to him we were high on inventory for high demand parts and we were going in a recession. If you are as old as I am, you will remember that recession. I told him I would like to run low volume parts for a while and build inventory on them. Nope, I want the other high volume parts. Told him I would not do this.
I had just got done installing the rest of the MRPII system which allowed me to look out months and balance the shop. We canceled parts orders and gave them orders for the low volume parts. Purchasing canceled orders to the supply base. 14 months into this the Division Controller came by to ask me what I was doing. I was in my early thirties then. I told the Controller, “Planning manufacturing and parts.
It turned out my department kept the division profitable for nine of those months, broke even 3 months, and lost money two months. I laid off one person and wrote a letter of recommendation for her and also said have a new employer call me and I will talk about you. Two months afterwards, they came for me. left the week before Christmas. I had my Masters out of Loyola which the VA paid for mostly. Parker paid for a small portion. I did get another job after Christmas.
I was gone whether I did the right thing or not. They kept me longer for what I was doing. When I could do no more, they laid me off and replaced me with a guy out of sales who wanted to be in manufacturing to gain some experience. Almost five years and it was time to go.
The big thing today is saving builders money. The thought process is to cut back on planning meetings which they are saying slows them down and costs money. They do not want to waste money having to present to a Planning commission and the City Council their plans for new developments and holding public meeting with residents to answer the questions of those nearby. According to the city leaders, there is a shortage of housing in and around Phoenix. It does make sense in a way to speed things up.
I bought a new home from one of those builders. I also sat on a Planning Commision for a number of years and was a Vice Chair for two years. I would walk those properties and talk to the residents around them to find out what they were thinking. My dad was a tuckpointer/bricklayer. I learned from him and still have his tools and another mans fathers tools. I know how to use them and rig rope scaffolds. I was taught house framing in high school and drafting. My drawing won at IIT. Ok, lrts get to the point of this.
Besides a shortage of housing, there is a shortage of water. The states and the Feds still have not figured out what to do. Soon they will and any new development will not be started. Water shortages will cause limits. They need to get these developments approved so they can be grandfathered in. Yes, it does cost them money to dot all the i’s.
Lets go on to what I see. We bought new for the first time in our lives in our seventies. We had the money and also set aside a nice IRA along with other funds.
We closed. Went to our home and notice six panels of the sidewalk were missing including one in front of the driveway. They said they would fix it soon. Soon being three weeks later. We noticed other things needing fixing and the list was 15 items. Construction manager came out and was doing his usual song and dance. He mentioned something that led me to explaining the Uniform Commercial Code to him and Reasonable Man expecting a Reasonable Product. The 15 items were fixed after three months. The other 10 items we found were fixed also. I also told him, you can not inspect quality into a product, you have to build quality into the product.
What could they improve upon?
As I walk through developments, I see dumpsters dropped on sidewalks cracking them. Large tractors driving over sidewalks and busting them too. Pounds of nails scattered around, entire cement block walls torn down, etc. Materials is the biggest cost item in manufacturing. If they improved on their manufacturing practices, costs would go down.
Canceling public meetings etc. to cut costs is just a charade. If they really wanted to cut costs they would build homes properly the first time through so they would not have to come back and please some old crotchety man who knows as much as they do. The real issue is to get the developments approved before the water is cut off.
They are not going to like me anyway because they have to do something they do not want to do. Because I expose their manufacturing practices is not going to gain popularity either. This was my 45+ years in supply chain and manufacturing and a LSS black belt and systems person.
Thanks for the additional replies and insights. I realize that my words above may have seemed a bit combative, and for giving that impression I apologize.
Your background is also helpful. My own is primarily in banking; for most of my career I was responsible for bank’s compliance with consumer protection laws and regulations, both inside banks and as a federal bank examiner. So I understand the concerns you raise.
My point (and IMHO a part of Infidel’s point) is simply that, it is hard work to make change effectively. It is not enough to point out a problem; one must also both substantiate the problem sufficiently and provide a feasible path towards its solution. And a further obstacle is that acting alone is rarely very effective. Opposition should be expected and prepared for.
A huge problem for the progressive movement (which I support financially and emotionally) is that many people here in the US are so privileged that they don’t want to actually do the work needed. Older people like me (and, I suspect, you) are tired of trying (a large section of the exhausted majority Infidel refers to).
Younger people simply weren’t raised to see social and political activism in the same way my generation was. An article I read some time ago pointed out that for people born in the 50’s, the activism that led t0 government actions like the Voting Rights Act and the Great Society showed what government can do; but for people born in and since the 70’s, there are no such examples – in fact, most rhetoric since Reagan has considered government as part of the problem, not as a solution. So they haven’t seen 1) many examples of government really helping at anything, or 2) the extent of the work involved in getting government to do things they want.
My personal sense now is that I need to stop advocating for solutions to things that I see as problems, and start to listen more, and advocate more, for the things that young people in their 30’s and 40’s are concerned about. Because the world in which they, and their children, will live is being created out of all this turmoil. My world is gone, and I need to accept the fact that nothing will be quite what I want it to be; and in many ways my generation is standing in the way of our children getting on with the business of creating their world, their way.
From an elected representative from the party of Lincoln:
“We need a national divorce. We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government. Everyone I talk to says this. From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrat’s [sic] traitorous America Last policies, we are done.”
~Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA)
Marjoreene is one of the worst offenders in promoting polarization and demonization. They’re basically her entire schtick.

It was Karl Rove who said we’re going to tear this country in two and we’ll wind up with the bigger half, or words to that effect.
Divisiveness has been a deliberate Republican tactic since Gingrich. Under Hastert no legislation was allowed to be introduced unless it had the support of the majority of the Republican side. Legislation was pitched as far to the right as possible to attract the bare minimum of Republican-right votes to pass, frequently with no Dem votes at all.
Their goal is and was to get well-meaning people who dislike conflict to turn off from politics in disgust, leaving them to dominate.
nobody says:
The problem in Rwanda in 1994 wasn’t ‘divisiveness’ between Hutus and Tutsis; it’s that the Hutus wanted to kill all the Tutsis. The problem in Germany 1930-1945 wasn’t ‘divisiveness’ between Nazis and Jews, Slavs, and LGBTQ people; it’s that the Nazis wanted to kill all Jews, Slavs, and LGBTQ people.
The social problem in America in this century is not divisiveness between leftists and Republicans; it’s that Republicans want to disenfranchise, persecute, impoverish, or have the freedom to kill people that they don’t like. Anyone who screams that both sides being divisive is very dangerously missing the point about what is going on in American society.
Anyone who says that the targets of Republican hate should stop resisting in the name of civility is, at best, an accomplice to the creation of an environment that will lead to the kind of atrocities that Americans like to think can’t happen on US soil.
You folks are at the tipping point. Prioritizing unity over human rights will not tip the balance in the right direction.
I agree with you and disagree with those who encourage civility. You can not go into a gun fight— and yes they have guns, guns and more guns— with a calming voice. I am at this moment with one of my daughters who is the mother of 4 of my grandchildren and she is monitoring a school board meeting where a disappointed far right candidate is castigating the school board for attempting to deal with some racist events at the high school. There is no common ground with these people and if you are “ exhausted” you are a loser and do not deserve any freedom.

Both Sidesism is unlikely to be the path out of this situation. Given that this approach played a key role in the growing extremism found in the US, it probably isnt the key to getting out. As always, Both Sidesism creates a safe space for squishy moderates to do nothing and for extremists to expand their influence. Both Sidesism is used by both the moderates who want to do nothing and extremists who want to go further.
You cant ever fix a problem if you are too scared to identify it.
If ‘Wokism’ is the notion that tolerance of and promotion of minority rights is all important, in effect, under the guise of ‘first amendment rights’, is it possible to adjust it to mean ‘everyone has a right to believe what they want to believe, but does NOT have the right to deny that same right to others.’
I say that because the sort of atheism I subscribe to is to personally not believe in a Creator as such, but to accept that everyone has a right to believe in one if they so choose, and that entity can be every bit as peculiar as ‘they’ want them to be, as long as they grant the same right to everyone else.
So, ‘Wokism’ in this form should mean to advocate certain beliefs in others, but not to demand them. Somewhat paradoxical perhaps. This must be lived with.
And it should be tolerated in and supported by all.
Daniel Becker says:
“…is it possible to adjust it to mean ‘everyone has a right to believe what they want to believe, but does NOT have the right to deny that same right to others.’”
Sure, until it comes time to write those beliefs in to a law that all must follow. Now the two different beliefs have to be observed and accepted as a truth. And the clash begins. Ultimately there is a judgement.
In the end, it is not each allowed to believe as they see fit that keeps life civil. It is each being selfless. Selfishness will not allow everyone the right to believe what they want.
Ultimately there is a judgement that wins out and molds society. The fight, the argument is over the model to be used for judging.
And none of this is as fixed as our laws of physics.
Excerpt from my reply to a comment by Run75441 on the original post, which may help clarify, since I think some people are a bit confused:
I would reiterate that this post is not about being in the “middle” (see first paragraph of post), or which party is objectively more extreme, or how many politicians on one side have views acceptable to people on the other. Of course most people on the other side have some views which are unacceptable to those on your own side — that’s pretty much inherent in the definition of “the other side” in politics. But those are separate issues from what I’m talking about here.
What I’m talking about here is the polarization, the demonization, the insanity of dismissing the entire opposing party and population as “Nazis” or “Marxists”, the rejection of any possibility of coexistence, the determined refusal to even look at any expression of an opposing view, as if doing so posed some kind of risk of contamination. These things are new, or at least until a few years ago they were attitudes found only on the far fringes. My opposition to any effort to ban abortion or same-sex marriage is firm, and I would never compromise on those issues. What I’m not doing is calling the people who want to ban those things Nazis or refusing to even listen to anything they say, nor rejecting the possibility that it might be possible to find common ground with the same people on other issues.
Most democracies have groups of people who hold strongly-opposing beliefs, as here. But most democracies don’t display the kind of extreme polarization and demonization that US politics does.
The fact that the “exhausted majority” includes two-thirds of Americans, including people across most of the spectrum of left and right, shows that it should indeed be achievable to overcome this problem. Two-thirds of Americans, including people with vehemently-opposed political views, “aren’t ideologues who dismiss as evil or ignorant the people who don’t share their exact political views. They want to talk and to find a path forward.” Two-thirds of Americans want to put aside the hysteria and insults and hate rhetoric and see politics return to normal. It’s not only what I want, it’s what two-thirds of us want. The problem is the minority on each “side” which is making most of the noise.

Star of Wonder
Posted on December 21, 2020 December 22, 2020 by Colleen James
A Hallmark card sent by a friend
Oh, star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
-We Three Kings
These lyrics have been running through my head as of late, all thanks to a special “star” that I read about in an article recently. The “star” is actually the alignment of the planets Jupiter and Saturn1, which can be seen today through December 26th during the evening.2 According to one article, the alignment of these two planets is very rare, having happened the last time over more than half a century ago.3 We truly have the chance to see a wonder this week worldwide. I’m praying that the skies will be clear enough here to catch a glimpse of this beautiful sight.
As I have thought about this phenomenon, I have been reminded of several passages throughout the Scriptures. The first one has been from a passage found in 1 Kings 19 in which the word of the LORD comes to Elijah in a cave and asks him what he is doing there. Elijah responds out of discouragement, explaining that he has fled the wicked Queen Jezebel, who has sworn to have him killed. According to his limited (and faulty) knowledge, all the other true prophets have been put to death, and he is the last one remaining.
After Elijah expresses these complaints to God, he is commanded to stand before the LORD on the mount, and the following events occur:
And behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. And after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire the sound of a low whisper.”
1 Kings 19:11b-12
When Elijah hears the low whisper, he wraps his face in his cloak and goes to stand at the entrance of the cave, implying that Elijah understood that the LORD was in the whisper. After the devastation of the wind, earthquake, and fire, Elijah was reminded that God was as near to him as a whisper. He had not abandoned Elijah, nor would He.
This year, the world has experienced the same tragic events that Elijah experienced in that moment before the LORD. There have been winds (both tornados and hurricanes), earthquakes, and fires in addition to a plague and the political and social unrest that has ensued, and it has been difficult to sense God’s presence in any of these things. But after a year filled with tragedy, we are left with the reminder that God is still near to us through something so reminiscent of the first Christmas long ago, and with it we remember that Jesus entered this sin-filled world to ultimately become the sacrifice for our sins. As believers, He is our Emmanuel—God with us. He has not abandoned us, nor will He.
The second passage that has come to mind as I think about this special “star” is the following:
Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near.”
When I think about the special “Christmas star”4 of this year, I can’t help but think of the wise men that followed the star so many years ago that ultimately led them to Jesus. As a result of their willingness to follow, they were given the privilege of worshipping the King of Kings and offering precious gifts to the One who would ultimately offer us the greatest gift of all.
The “star” of 2020 is a vivid reminder that mankind can still seek Jesus today, just as the wise men did so long ago. God can still be found, and He not only longs for us to seek Him but gives us opportunities to do so. He has, in fact, placed each of us in the optimal setting to do just that.
And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place,that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, for“‘In him we live and move and have our being’.”
The “Christmas star” of this month is yet another tangible expression of God’s active part in this world, and I pray that this rare, beautiful sight will inspire individuals to remember the first Christmas and to seek and find Jesus as a result*. I also pray that it will renew the hope of many and that it will provide comfort to those who mourn that God is near. He has not abandoned us this year.
If nothing else, the “Christmas star” is a good reminder to look up. So while the year draws to an end, let’s look up as we look forward to a new year.

I saw that as well, about the alignments of Jupiter and Saturn. So amazing! I love the story of Elijah fleeing from Jezebel. It’s one of my favorite Bible stories. It always encourages me when I feel defeated. Yes!! Let’s look up to our hope, Jesus. Thank you Colleen! Merry Christmas!

Wow. Just looked it up. It’s really stunning. I have a particular set of stars that come out in December and I love gazing at them. 😍
That’s great! I tried to catch a glimpse of the planetary alignment yesterday, but it was too cloudy. Hopefully the weather will be better tonight. We shall see! Merry Christmas!

We watched the “star” here and it is quite bright in the night sky. So grateful for the light – of many kinds – that Jesus brings to our lives. Merry Christmas, friend. xoxo

Drug Addicts Essay
Drug addicts are insensitive to the future effects of their substance seeking behavior. Drug addiction is a learning disorder that seems to overvalue pleasure, fail to learn from mistakes, and undervalue risk related to the use of drugs (Szalavitz para. 3). Besides, drug addiction has a severe impact on individual, families, and society such misuse of resources, antisocial behavior, criminal activities, reduced productivity, and use dysfunctional families. Therefore, recognizing addition as a learning disorder can help in finding a practical approach to treat and manage the condition. The society should treat victims of opiate addicts as clinically disabled individuals and work together with professionals to combat addiction. Opiate addiction is on the rise because the drug is legally available as a painkiller.

The policymakers can address the problem by seeking alternative pain management alternatives. On the other side, addicts are on denial, and they are unable to make informed or rational decision to quit substance abuse. In other words, addicts require love and support to motivate behavior change by unlearning the rewards associated with a drug. Thus, addicts require support from family and professionals to overcome substance addiction. The existing drug prevention laws have increased the number of inmates related to drug use or trade. For example, the opiate crisis is associated with accessibility of drugs over the counter and on the black market. Addicts do not respond to negative consequences related to a drug; therefore, punishment and incarceration are not effective in combating addiction. A positive approach motivates behavior change and enables an individual to avoid relapse after inpatient treatment.
Addiction is a learning disorder and society should treat opioid addicts as clinically disabled individuals in need of professional help to overcome the antisocial behavior by motivating change.
Addiction is a learning disorder that occurs through unconscious brain processes that overvalue pleasure, fail to learn from mistakes and undervalue the risk associated with substance abuse. An individual learns that a drug such as opioid and others makes them feel better and continue using the substance to cope (Szalavitz para. 4). Addiction occurs when a person falls in love with a drug; love requires persistence despite the adverse outcomes. The learning process occurs in the “parts of the brain that controls basic life-sustaining and functions” (Maté para. 5). In this case, life-sustaining needs and brain functions that influence the learning process in addicts to include motivation and motivation to use the drug, regulation of stress, and emotional and physical pain relief. A person associates himself/herself with a drug through positive experiences even when they are aware of the risk or dangers related to the use of the substance. The learning process occurs under a nurturing environment in the early stages in life. Likewise, the rewards associated with a drug motivate an individual to use the substance for an extended period with less concern about the consequences. Also, addiction is a learning disorder just like developmental disorders such as autism and dyslexia that begins in childhood and continue to adulthood. Many addicts learn deviant behaviors during their teens and 20s, especially for individuals who experienced childhood trauma. The risk factors that increase expose teens to opioid and other drugs use include peer pressure, untreated mental disorder, and abuse of other drugs. Young people learn from peers or other people around them. Therefore, a child growing up in families or community with high cases of drugs are more likely to become addicts in adulthood.
The society should treat victims of opiate crisis as clinically disabled and work together with professionals to combat addition. Opiate addicts require clinical treatment and the use of alternative pain management drugs to avoid further complications. Addicts are unable to make rational decisions due to impaired judgment and denial. Addiction has a severe impact on individuals, family, and society in general. Thus, combating addition involves professionals, family, and society. Rozzano (12) argues that no amount nagging, controlling, or yelling can help in treating addiction. Besides, parents should act as role models to their children and create awareness about the lifelong consequences of addiction. Therefore, if an individual resists assistance, it is recommendable to involve professionals.
Clinicians provides treatment and information to help patients to live drug-free life. Thus, addiction is a treatable condition through motivation to change. For example, peer groups can help to help individuals during the recovering process through sharing experience with other people who overcame similar challenges. The opioid crisis requires an effective treatment program to increase access to treatment and recovery services, creating awareness about the epidemic, and the introduction of better pain management practices. The good news is that what is learned can be unlearned similarly with the way people get over breakups with their loved ones. Drug addicts can shift their experiences to overcome addiction with the help of clinicians, family members, and society. Studies show that almost half of drug addicts reforms be the age 30 except tobacco users. Misunderstanding of the causes and ways of fighting addiction is the major challenge in addressing antisocial behavior. Thus, family, friends, and society can help in combating drug addiction like any other learning disorder instead of criminalizing the addiction. According to Szalavitz (para. 4), addiction is characterized by a lack of response to adverse outcomes; thus, punishment may not yield positive results in combating substance abuse.
Addiction is a learning disorder that overvalues pleasure, fails to learn from negative outcomes and undervalue risk or danger related to addiction. An individual develops into addicts through a learning process from early childhood to early adulthood. People who experience childhood trauma are more likely to engage in substance abuse to connect or fit in society during their teens and early 20s. Therefore, creating a positive environment motivate children to learn the dangers related to addiction. Children learn from peers and older people during their developmental stages. The society should treat victims of opiate crisis as clinically disabled and work together with professionals to combat addition. Everybody has a role in combating addiction by offering the required to create a positive environment to motivate change. Addiction is a learning disorder and addicts can unlearn the behavior to avoid consequences such as health issues, incarceration, and social disorders. Policymakers should focus on motivating behaviors and allow addicts to reform instead of punishment. The existing drug prevention policies do not recognize or support the benefits of motivating behavior change leading to the imprisonment of many drug addicts. Medical detox helps in recovery of opiate addiction. Patients should also receive regular psychotherapy as individuals and in groups to motivate change. Addicts require aftercare monitoring after clinical treatment to avoid relapse by offering necessary support.

About Nowhere House APK
It is a tale that virtually everyone has heard at least once that serves as the inspiration for Nowhere House. Once upon a time, there lived a witch in a rural community.

Report of the Defense Science Board Task Force on Improved Application of Intelligence to the Battlefield. May - July 1996
Gandy, Charles
McCarthy, James P.
The 1996 Defense Science Board DSB Task Force on Improved Application of Intelligence to the Battlefield submits this report to document its work, findings and recommendations, which extends and refines the prior years study on the same subject. The Task Force was asked to 1 review and evaluate the progress made in implementing the recommendations made last year 2 identify further actions that could be quickly implemented to improve the safety and effectiveness of the coalition forces in Bosnia prior to and during their redeployment and 3 recommend longer term actions to prepare for future contingencies. This report documents detailed recommendations for each one of the three parts of the assignment. While the 1995 study focused on contributions that the recommended technology and equipment additions would have on operations in Bosnia Herzegovina and other Theater sites, this years report highlights the need for changes in operations as well as joint, Service and coalition doctrine to leverage the deployed technology and equipment infrastructure. However, the non- technological changes are at least as important to make as the technological changes and will require strong commitment and leadership at all levels for effective implementation. The Task Force found numerous systemic barriers to achieving information dominance. With the potential for deployment of ground forces and the resulting increased operational stress, the shortcomings and unnecessary risks would be expected to increase unless significant changes were made.

The choice of this direction was made to facilitate traffic on the congested BR-116.
The first section of Line 1 was opened on March 2, 1985, between Central Public Market and Sapucaia do Sul stations. In December 1997, the line was extended to Unisinos station.
The 3.8 km extension to the Museum of San Leopoldo was completed in November 2000. Passenger traffic began after two months of test operation.
The next 9.3 km and three new stations Novu Amburgu should open in 2014.
In August 2013, a fully automated kilometer-long line was completed between Aeroporto station and the first terminal of Filho International Airport. When transferring to this line, passengers do not need to purchase an additional ticket. Travel time is 90 seconds.

Excerpted from Recovery From Abusive Groups by Wendy Ford
A life is beautiful and ideal, or the reverse, only when we have taken into our consideration the social as well as the family relationship.
Havelock Ellis
The family is usually greatly relieved to have their loved one home. It's an adjustment for everyone. Months, often years, of anguish and fear are over. As in the return of the prodigal child, it is a time of great joy.
The group may have isolated the loved one in an unknown place where no contact is allowed. Some families continue indefinitely to send letters knowing the letters are screened by the group's leaders. Most families learn early not to send money, as it is usually turned over to the group. These families can often benefit from professional counseling to help them cope with their frustration and despair.
Those families whose member leaves the group can be a source of great support and encouragement. Through the ups and downs of recovery, the family can be there with love and understanding, to listen and empathize. Years of strained communication can melt away as new memories of love and laughter replace the years of frustration and anguish.
Here are a few pointers which can help families provide a nurturing environment that simultaneously encourages independence:
Recognize that recovery can take years. Some damage may be irreparable.
Understand, accept, and grieve your own lost time and lost experiences with loved ones.
Don't be confrontational. Give the loved one time to let go of his or her loyalty to the group and its leaders and to acknowledge the deception.
Do not try to overprotect or control the loved one. Learn to negotiate.
Forgive your loved one for the pain he caused you while in the cult, and tell him that you forgive him.
Encourage independent decision-making.
Recognize the loved one may need financial support during recovery, but that financial and emotional independence should be encouraged.
Accept and respect the accomplishments the loved one made while in the cult.
Understand the loved one's often intense aversion to authority figures.
Accept the Changes
It's hard when a friend or family member who was close to you now is physically and emotionally distant. He is alone with his pain and you can't reach him. It can help to realize that like a veteran returning from a war, he has been somewhere you have not been, exposed to horrors of a trauma you can only imagine. For all your years of experience, you have not been in his war. You did not lose the time, friends, and dreams that he lost. But you still lost something.
You lost your loved one the way he used to be. He is back, but he will never be who he was. Healing will mean integrating the pain he has known. This will change him. It should change you, too. You and your family can demonstrate your love by accepting the changes this experience has caused. This may mean letting go of what you wanted him to be.
Integration Takes Time
Some of those years included key developmental periods for both the loved one and the family. Events, which would have helped the family let go of the loved one and the loved one let go of the family, did not happen. Because of this, both family and loved one can be stunted or "on hold" developmentally in some key ways.
On the other hand, ex-cultists have been exposed to experiences that have matured them beyond their years, such as leadership responsibilities and sexual activity. The very reality of having been ideologically and psychologically raped has catapulted ex-cultists to a developmental space inconsistent with their years. This mismatch of years and experience takes very hard work to integrate into a unified whole. Let it take time.
Missed Events
Some ex-cultists, because of the constraints of the cult, missed critical life events with their families and friends, such as births, deaths, marriages, religious observances, and graduations. Even though ex-cultists are not fully responsible for not having attended these events, it helps to hear that they have been forgiven. Discuss it with them. Let them know you still love and respect them and that you understand it was the cult that kept them from sharing these key family events. They also need to forgive themselves. Both the families and ex-cultists need to grieve the loss of not having shared these events.
Nieces, Nephews, and Grandchildren
Many ex-cultists were married in the cult and had children. Whether or not one is under mind control, being in marriage and raising children is an accomplishment. These ex-cultists have their own families and responsibilities to those families. How they choose to handle those responsibilities during the trauma of exiting and recovery may or may not be to your liking. But your support is needed. You can be most effective as a sounding board:
Gently raising questions
Offering advice, if requested
Being supportive
Remember, ex-cultists need to learn to make their own decisions and to carry them out. Nieces, nephews, grandchildren will survive these difficult months and years better, if the extended family is supportive and non-argumentative.
Covered in Bruises
A visual aid that might help is to imagine your loved one covered with dark bruises. Remember, the pain is psychological and may not be visible on the outside, but the wounds can run very deep. Will it help to add pressure to these bruises or to step back and simply be there? As ex-cultists relearn how to use their badly bruised mental faculties and reconnect with long frozen emotions, will it help to do the tasks for them or to encourage and applaud them? You may not feel as if applause is much of a contribution, but it is!
Honor what they have accomplished while they were in the cult and give them space to work out their new challenges in their own way and in their own time. Recovery can take years.
Encourage Open Communication
The loved one won't talk, though, if the environment does not encourage open discussion. The ex-cultist is highly sensitized to being told what to do and how to think, even if it is done subtly. Demonstrate from the first moment the loved one is home that it's safe to talk here by listening.
Don't judge, don't interrupt, don't offer opinions or advice, unless it is asked for. Just listen.
Questions as Mental Exercise
When you ask the ex-cultist a question, do not interrupt the answer. Focusing on a question, formulating the answer, and articulating the answer while responding to your nonverbal or verbal ("ah," "um") cues may still be difficult for your loved one. Let the loved one exercise his mental skills by completing the process from beginning (your question) to end (stating his answer). If the loved one gets lost and stalls, help him by restating the question. The exercise of thinking can be as important as or more important than the answer.
Do ask questions about things you don't understand. If the loved one cannot explain it to your satisfaction, don't push. Give him time. Maybe offer to help him study that particular question.
As you interact in a nonthreatening and nurturing way, you are building a bridge for ex-cultists from the world they left behind to a new place. The stronger this bridge is to the new world, the easier the transition is away from the old one. You are competing with an illusion of total acceptance and total love. You have one thing the illusion doesn't have, though. You have integrity.
The preceding are excerpts from Recovery form Abusive Groups, by Wendy Ford (available from AFF's Electronic Bookstore).
Recovery From Abusive Groups By Wendy Ford. "Ms. Ford has taken the trauma and despair of exiting from a destructive cult and offered gentleness and encouragement in a way only someone who's been there can. I highly recommend this handbook as a tool for those recovering from an experience of mind control." Nancy Miquelon, M.S.W., former National Director of FOCUS, an ex-member support network.
This book provides practical advice for former cult members and their families. Utilizing study questions, exercises, worksheets, and an abundance of common sense, Ms. Ford focuses specifically on what ex-members can do to negotiate their way through the challenging postcult recovery process.
This book provides concrete suggestions on such issues as:
Learning when and when not to talk about one's cult experience
Dealing with financial and work issues
Reconnecting to family and friends
"Floating"
Setting long-range goals
What families can do to help their loved one recover

Here Are Some More Things That Could Be Helpful For You!
Improving your personal health is achievable by making healthy lifestyle choices, like following weight loss tips or following a healthy diet. Managing medical conditions that you may have to prevent your condition from worsening or increasing your risk for other chronic conditions are also smart personal help tips you should follow.
For example, reducing excess weight with weight loss tips can improve the symptoms of some conditions, as well as act as a preventative measure towards the development of certain chronic conditions. Practicing everyday health care and making good choices about your health can have a significant impact on your health and reduce your likelihood of developing a number of medical conditions.
Learn about Weight Loss
Weight loss is one health measure than can help many people. It is estimated that more than a third of adults in America are considered obese, weighing at least 20 percent over the ideal weight of a person of their height. The rise in obesity could contribute to the rise in a number of chronic medical conditions, including high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes.
If you are currently overweight or obese, there are a number of ways that you can lose weight, including by making lifestyle changes and practicing new, healthier habits every day. Eating a well-balanced diet is one of the most effective ways to achieve weight loss goal and maintain a healthy weight. If you do need to lose weight, strive to lose between one to two pounds of weight each week. There are a number of diets that have been proven effective for weight loss through numerous studies, including the paleo diet, vegan diet, low-carb diets and intermittent fasting. However, not every diet is the right choice for every person. Different diets have pros and cons for each, and some may be more effective for certain dieters, depending on other medical conditions and gender.
In addition to weight loss tips that can help you to get down to a healthy weight, it is important to create a plan for yourself once you reach your ideal weight in order to prevent weight regain. For many dieters, this may mean learning about better portion control, better snacking options or calorie counting. Furthermore, if you find you cannot lose weight regardless of the work you put into a diet, it is worth taking the time to rule out certain medications and medical conditions that can lead to weight gain, including hypothyroidism and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). In cases where a large amount of weight must be lost, surgical and medication options may be available.
Regardless of whether or not you want to lose weight, experts strongly recommend that everyone be engaged in some sort of exercise routine. Not only can exercise help you to lose weight, but exercise provides numerous health benefits that can significantly impact overall health. Through routine exercise, a person can often decrease the risk of developing certain chronic condition, strengthen muscles, increase flexibility and reduce the risk of injuries. Experts recommend at least 200 minutes of aerobic (cardio) exercise per week and at least two sessions of strength training exercises per week.
Find out about Skin Care
Following skin care tips can help you keep your skin healthy and reduce your risk of common skin conditions, including acne, eczema and skin cancer, including an aggressive form of cancer called melanoma. If you already have conditions such as eczema, psoriasis or rosacea, having a healthy skincare routine can help reduce the symptoms of these often chronic conditions as well as prevent further breakouts.
When developing your daily skin care routine, include a face watch twice daily using mild soap and following up with a toner and moisturizer. This can help clean prevent oil secretions from your skin clogging your pores, therefore preventing outbreaks of acne. Moisturizing after each wash can reduce dry skin, which can commonly worsen the symptoms of chronic conditions such as eczema. If you are sensitive to dry air, consider using an air humidifier.
Tip box
There are two main approaches that consumers take when getting free credit reports. You can request reports from all three bureaus at one time to see how the scores vary slightly (as they often do). Otherwise, you can spread out your requests throughout the year to track your credit increases or decreases every few months.
Perhaps the most important skin care tips that you can follow are those that affect your likelihood of developing skin cancer. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer today. You can reduce your likelihood of developing skin cancer and take better care of your skin by limiting your exposure to the sun, especially during the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. It is crucial that you wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen that contains a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30.
As part of an ongoing skin care routine, avoid sunlamps and tanning beds because these items significantly increase your risk of developing cancer. Make sure to pay attention to your skin and check any changes to patches of skin or moles that you have at least once a week. Report any changes that you discover to your doctor.
Learn about Sleep and Health
Most Americans are not getting enough sleep at some point in their lifetime. Not getting enough sleep on a regular basis can lead to several chronic conditions, including heart disease, obesity and depression. While some are affected by medical conditions that prevent quality sleep without treatment, such as insomnia, narcolepsy, restless leg syndrome and sleep apnea, most Americans who fail to get enough sleep on a regular basis may simply need to make some lifestyle changes in order to gain a better and more consistent sleep.
Tips for better sleep include, but are not limited to:
Caffeine avoidance a few hours before bed.
Nicotine avoidance a few hours before bed.
Alcohol avoidance a few hours before bed.
Avoiding heavy meals before bedtime.
Minimizing the light and noise within your bedroom.
Getting a better mattress, if the current is too uncomfortable. Back pain from a mattress can certainly impact your sleep, as well as your daily quality of life.
Getting enough sleep each night, reduce your risk for chronic conditions and improve your quality of life. If you are struggling to fall asleep or stay asleep, even when incorporating sleeping tips, then you should talk to your doctor to rule out any sleep related conditions that may be affecting you.

The New Error
July 15, 2022 By Damian in aphorisms, extraordinary popular delusions, foolosophy, juxtapositions, non compos mentis, the geist of the zeit No Comments
I am persuaded that the sum of stupidity and folly in the world is at times constant. Far from rejoicing when I see an old error depart, I think of the new error which will come to take its place, and I wonder anxiously if it will not be more inconvenient or more dangerous than the first.

Stay inside, don't go out, don't leave the house and for god's sakes, don't worry about me.
Melpomene was kidnapped. I'll be at Dean's, and then I'm going to find Mel. You guys... just be careful.
I love you all.
Edit: I hate Soren today and I'll be calling Dean and making him do things that I should be doing. Goddamn... love crap.
twiceloved
Yes, they're going to let you march right in and foil their plan because you're not weird or whatever they think we are. I'll just stay here and let you get hurt.
I'm going to go with you. Henn can stay Backstage with Sable.
1stbornextreme
Do you think I'm fucking stupid, Soren? Why the fuck do you think I'm going to see Dean first?
You stay right the fuck where you are. I'm not going to let them take you, too.
Actually? Right now, yeah, I do. Because there's one of you and by the sounds of it a whole bunch of them, and you're not a goddamn superhero. You'll need me.
I'm already on my way to Dean's.
Stay put. I don't want you hurt, Soren. I'm not a superhero, but I know what I'm capable of. These assholes kidnapped one of my friends. They could and would kidnap you if they had half a chance. Lord only knows what they're planning on doing with her.
Don't worry about me. I'll be fine.
Right. I'll get right on that not worrying thing. I'm worried about Mel too, but -
You know what, you're right. You always are. I forget. Don't die.
Love your confidence in me, there, princess.
I'm really upset and so fucking pissed off at you. And I don't want you to go off and get shot and the last thing you remember about me is us fighting, okay? Just go, and do your thing, and come home so I can beat the crap out of you.
You know what? Fuck that. You know that if it were you, I'd have been on this in a heartbeat. I wouldn't care about me. If it was you, I'd only care about getting you back. If it were you, I wouldn't have thought about it, I would have just gone to find you, but you don't seem to realize that if this was you, I'd be in worse danger.
You can hate me later, all I need right now is some trust.
Baby, I wouldn't want you to come and put yourself in danger even if it was me. And I won't ever hate you, don't
Look, don't do this now, okay? We can fight when you get home. I love you, okay?
I love you too, Soren. I'll...
... I'll come get you before I go find her.
No, don't. I know if something happens to me, you'll never forgive yourself.
Just go. I'll make you waffles when you get home. I learned how.
I love you too.
Before you go, will you leave me - I need to get a ring like Pappa's. Come back for a minute before you go, I need some of your hair. Please. Do this one thing for me.
Yeah, I'll do that.
A week without you would really - I don't know what I'd do with myself.
I'm in the bedroom.
Goddammit.
That's not what I meant. I just meant I'd be upset.
Hate you for making me have to choose.
Really, really hate you.
I'll be home in a few.
I'm not. You're just dropping off some of your hair. I was just stating the obvious, Cass.
I'll see you at home. For a few minutes. | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11727 | {"url": "https://asylums.insanejournal.com/undertherainbow/1782262.html?thread=33654774", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en",

Mordecai Persuades Esther to Help
4 When Mordecai learned of all that had been done, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the city, wailing loudly and bitterly. 2 But he went only as far as the king’s gate, because no one clothed in sackcloth was allowed to enter it. 3 In every province to which the edict and order of the king came, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, weeping and wailing. Many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
4 When Esther’s eunuchs and female attendants came and told her about Mordecai, she was in great distress. She sent clothes for him to put on instead of his sackcloth, but he would not accept them. 5 Then Esther summoned Hathak, one of the king’s eunuchs assigned to attend her, and ordered him to find out what was troubling Mordecai and why.
6 So Hathak went out to Mordecai in the open square of the city in front of the king’s gate. 7 Mordecai told him everything that had happened to him, including the exact amount of money Haman had promised to pay into the royal treasury for the destruction of the Jews. 8 He also gave him a copy of the text of the edict for their annihilation, which had been published in Susa, to show to Esther and explain it to her, and he told him to instruct her to go into the king’s presence to beg for mercy and plead with him for her people.
9 Hathak went back and reported to Esther what Mordecai had said. 10 Then she instructed him to say to Mordecai, 11 “All the king’s officials and the people of the royal provinces know that for any man or woman who approaches the king in the inner court without being summoned the king has but one law: that they be put to death unless the king extends the gold scepter to them and spares their lives. But thirty days have passed since I was called to go to the king.”
12 When Esther’s words were reported to Mordecai, 13 he sent back this answer: “Do not think that because you are in the king’s house you alone of all the Jews will escape. 14 For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”
15 Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai: 16 “Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my attendants will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish.”
17 So Mordecai went away and carried out all of Esther’s instructions. | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11729 | {"url": "https://atchisonradio.com/esther-4/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "atchisonradio.com", "date_download": "2023-03-31T10:36:34Z", "digest": "sha1:QBSZRZO7D2TQCCKD27UUZS7D432PC6OP"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2616, 2616.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2616, 2903.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2616, 8.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2616, 19.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2616, 0.99]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2616, 269.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2616, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2616, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2616, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2616, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2616, 0.50779896]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2616, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2616, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2616, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2616, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2616, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2616, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2616, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2616, 0.01938924]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2616, 0.01648085]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2616, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2616, 0.00866551]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2616, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2616, 0.14038128]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2616, 0.45725646]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2616, 4.10139165]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2616, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2616, 4.92438443]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2616, 503.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 34, 0.0], [34, 474, 1.0], [474, 818, 1.0], [818, 1352, 1.0], [1352, 1821, 1.0], [1821, 2235, 1.0], [2235, 2546, 1.0], [2546, 2616, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 34, 0.0], [34, 474, 0.0], [474, 818, 0.0], [818, 1352, 0.0], [1352, 1821, 0.0], [1821, 2235, 0.0], [2235, 2546, 0.0], [2546, 2616, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 34, 5.0], [34, 474, 83.0], [474, 818, 62.0], [818, 1352, 106.0], [1352, 1821, 90.0], [1821, 2235, 79.0], [2235, 2546, 66.0], [2546, 2616, 12.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 34, 0.0], [34, 474, 0.00702576], [474, 818, 0.00595238], [818, 1352, 0.00570342], [1352, 1821, 0.01079914], [1821, 2235, 0.01477833], [2235, 2546, 0.01342282], [2546, 2616, 0.02898551]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 34, 0.0], [34, 474, 0.0], [474, 818, 0.0], [818, 1352, 0.0], [1352, 1821, 0.0], [1821, 2235, 0.0], [2235, 2546, 0.0], [2546, 2616, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 34, 0.11764706], [34, 474, 0.01363636], [474, 818, 0.02325581], [818, 1352, 0.01685393], [1352, 1821, 0.01705757], [1821, 2235, 0.01932367], [2235, 2546, 0.04180064], [2546, 2616, 0.04285714]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2616, 0.99190575]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2616, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2616, 0.29675382]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2616, 57.11373532]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2616, 85.11924395]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2616, -113.69300292]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2616, 22.0]]} |
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Road To Boruto Switch Review
Even comes with additional DLC.
April 30th, 2020 by Dean James
Naruto as a series has spawned game after game over the years across the original series, Shippuden, and Boruto. CyberConnect2 has been behind a good majority of the best games based on the franchise and their magnum opus came with the release of Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 back in 2016. The game was then made even bigger with the Road to Boruto expansion a year later that added new story content based on the new movie at the time. Bandai Namco and CyberConnect2 are not quite done with the game yet now three years after the expansion, as they have finally brought the game to the Nintendo Switch as Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Road to Boruto.
Developers that have worked on the same series for a long time often struggle to innovate with each subsequent entry, but CyberConnect 2 avoided this with the Ultimate Ninja Storm series. Instead of going out with a whimper, they managed to refine everything that made the series great in the first three entries and ended up with what was the pinnacle of games based on the property. This was largely led by gameplay that felt like it was ripped straight out of the anime, allowing you to use techniques and jutsu just as characters you already know and love would. The combat can still be a little overwhelming at first to new players, but most players will quickly get a grasp of the natural flow of battle in the game.
Just like the previous releases, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Road to Boruto on Switch comes with a number of game modes to enjoy. The first of these is the Story mode, which is still the main attraction of the game as a whole. Following up on the previous Ultimate Ninja Storm games, this entry finishes up the Shippuden storyline in impressive fashion. Story mode features a storyboard setup with branching paths that feature plenty of cutscenes and voiceovers that help to make the plot enjoyable even for those who have not experienced the story in other mediums prior. This all leads to the final fight in the series that is still a spectacle to behold and is every bit as intense as it was in the anime and in the original release. This is where the meat of the experience is going to lie with multiple hours of content for you to play through.
Adventure mode is just the same as it was in the past, serving as a follow-up to the game’s Story mode. This takes place after the events of the main story and lets you choose between different characters to control like Naruto, Shikamaru, or Gaara. Rather than having a storyboard that takes you between each cutscene and fight as seen in Story mode, Adventure mode allows you to actually explore some different areas in the Naruto mythos, such as the Sand and Leaf Villages. The downside here is that the cinematic nature of Story mode is mostly gone here, as most of this mode lacks voice acting and isn’t as impactful overall. The exploration is pretty limited here though, so don’t expect anything like CyberConnect 2 provided in the more recent Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. Adventure Mode is also useful at unlocking a variety of different content for the completionists out there as well.
The Road to Boruto expansion released a year after the original and is present in its entirety in this release as well. The Boruto’s Tale mode is essentially an amalgamation of the Adventure and Story modes as the Boruto movie is brought to life. Boruto feels like an extension of Adventure Mode, but this time there are more cutscenes and fully voiced scenes that make it also feel like Story mode. Being based around a single movie helps to make everything feel a bit more focused in a way, which will keep you entertained for the not overly long story.
Beyond these three narrative based game modes, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Road to Boruto of course includes both Free Battle and Online Battle modes. These let you utilize the massive roster of characters in local battles or online. It is very nice to see that the game has local battles available, as a lot of games have started to stray away from that. This was available in the original too though, so it’s not like it is a new addition.
Really helps to capture the feel of Naruto in action
While the game itself is a few years old, there is always a level of concern about how well a game will perform or look on the less powerful Nintendo Switch whenever a game is brought over to the system. The good news is that there were very few noticeable issues with performance in the game as a whole in docked mode. However, the frame rate seemed to take a major dip during portions of Adventure mode when playing in handheld. Running around the map felt very sluggish and off, which is very uncommon for this game. Thankfully, this is not present everywhere in Adventure mode and it does not carry over to the battles themselves either, which is the most important area to have run well. Oddly enough, this issue does not seem to carry over to the adventure sections in Boruto’s Tale mode.
As for the rest of the game, most everything runs very smoothly on the Nintendo Switch. Not only does the game run well, but the game’s visuals are still as enjoyable as they were when the game originally released on other platforms. Even being now four years old graphically, the game still manages to look very good with its animation style. Similar to cel-shaded animation, the visual style utilized here has aged well and should continue to age well in the future as well. Combining this with the great musical score really helps to capture the feel of Naruto in action.
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Road to Boruto is essentially a straight port of the Road To Boruto release from three years ago, but that does not mean there isn’t any sort of new content. Also coming to the other platforms as paid DLC, this release on Nintendo Switch comes with what is known as the Next Generations DLC included for free. This DLC pack adds Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Kinshiki Otsutsuki from the Boruto movie as playable characters, as well as 11 Boruto era costumes for existing characters. It’s not much, but many games would have charged for this as DLC instead of including it for free, so it’s definitely a welcome addition.
Finally reaching the Nintendo Switch four years after the release of the base game, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Road to Boruto is still a standout game that easily stands above the rest in the series. The combat is the most true to Naruto in this game and the various story based modes are handled very well. Even though there are some performance issues in handheld mode, they are thankfully relegated to only one game mode in the game. For those that have purchased the full game in the past, there is really not anything new that should entice you to double dip outside of the ability to play portably, but Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Road to Boruto is a must purchase for any Naruto fans that missed out on the game the first couple times.
Even with no new content outside of a few downloadable characters and costumes, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Road to Boruto is still the best that the franchise has to offer gaming wise and performs with very few hiccups in its latest release on the Nintendo Switch.

COVID Vaccination and The Church

And Baby Makes … Four?
Please note: Megan Best is a professional bioethicist and a valued contributor to this website. As with all our articles, we offer her reflections on vaccination and government health policy as a worthy contribution to our public discussion—not as TGCA policy. For a different perspective on the question of vaccine passports see Murray Campbell and David Ould’s post.
The recent announcement by the Australian government that increased freedoms would be available to citizens who were double vaccinated for COVID-19, or have exemption on medical grounds, has caused significant consternation in the Christian community. Issues of conscience and concerns about exclusion have been raised as reasons why such measures should not be introduced.[1] This paper has been written to consider how Australian churches should respond.
Why We Use Vaccinations
There is no doubt that vaccination can be an effective public health strategy to curb the spread of infection. We each have a God-given immune system that constantly protects us against infections. As we are exposed to a disease, our immune system naturally works to both defeat it and provide us with immunity against a future attack. However, diseases such as COVID-19 can be life-threatening or leave us with serious health problems. Prevention is always a safer option. Vaccination can help us avoid or reduce severity of future infection. Vaccines trigger our immune systems to respond and develop immunity to that disease, without having to actually experience it.
Safety and Efficacy
Early recommendations restricting the use of the Astra Zeneca … changed when the Delta variant of COVID-19 appeared.
The COVID -19 virus is a new virus with new vaccines. Rare but serious adverse events associated with vaccine use have been reported: blood clots for the Astra Zeneca vaccine and cardiac problems with Pfizer. Early recommendations restricting the use of the Astra Zeneca vaccine were based on a risk-benefit calculation for the individual, a calculus which changed when the Delta variant of COVID-19 appeared. The Delta variant is highly transmissible, estimated to be 60% more transmissible than previous variants.[2] In light of this new situation, COVID-19 vaccines are a safe and highly effective way to avoid serious illness, hospitalisation and death.2
The revision highlights one of the problems in this conversation—the constantly changing landscape as more is learnt about COVID-19 and its management, leading to changes in health advice, which can be seen as contradictory and confusing when in fact it is a commitment to keep up to date. This has led to some citizens being unsure of which authority to trust when it comes to health advice.
But we now have solid evidence of the impact of COVID vaccines from research involving millions of participants. Double vaccination has many proven benefits.[3] It:
Significantly reduces the risk of catching the virus;
Reduces the likelihood and severity of symptoms if you do catch it;
Makes hospitalisation 73% less likely;
Reduces the risk of developing Long COVID by 49%.
However, while the rate of infection among those who are fully vaccinated is low, risk of infection still remains, especially with increasing age.[4] Therefore it is important to know how vaccination impacts transmission of the virus. In fact, vaccinated people are much less likely to pass on the virus: double vaccination reduces the chance of onward virus transmission by 40-60%.[5] The reason for reduced onward transmission is that there is significantly less virus detectable in vaccinated people.[6]
In summary, vaccination protects not only yourself, but those around you.
Vaccination protects not only yourself, but those around you.
The goal of community vaccination programs is to achieve herd immunity. Herd immunity works through achieving sufficient population immunity that the transmission chain of a disease is broken. This protects the community from infection. While research is ongoing, it is calculated that 70-90% vaccination will be required to achieve herd immunity.[7]
Why Vaccine Passports?
In a liberal society, restrictions imposed by the state on an individual’s liberty are justified only to prevent harm to others (rather than harm to ourselves). Unvaccinated individuals present a risk to society by being more likely to get infected and thereby infect others, possibly overburdening the health system and preventing others from accessing care (as is currently a concern in NSW). In the attempt to achieve herd immunity, incentives and disincentives for vaccination against COVID-19 have been widely discussed.[8] One idea that has been proposed is a system of vaccine passports, similar to those which have been introduced in many countries.[9] The idea behind a vaccine passport is that you cannot justify restriction of a vaccinated person’s liberty as they do not pose sufficient harm to others.
Vaccine Passports and Christian Gatherings
For Christians, a major concern raised by the introduction of vaccine passports is the question of whether double vaccination should be a requirement for attendance at a church meeting.
A duty to gather?
A biblical text frequently cited in connection with this discussion is the exhortation in Hebrews 10:24–25: “And let us consider how we may spur one another on towards love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”
Several observations about these verses should be borne in mind as we consider their relevance to the present discussion:
The situation being addressed in the letter to the Hebrews is not one in which the readers have found themselves temporarily prevented from holding large, face-to-face gatherings. Its challenge is not to believers who are conscientiously minimising health risks by complying with a public health order; it is to believers who are growing slack in their care for one another and shrinking back from publicly identifying with Christ and his people.
The reference to “meeting together” in verse 25 is grammatically subordinate to the primary exhortation in verse 24: “And let us consider how we may spur one another on towards love and good deeds.” Its function within the sentence is to unpack what it will look like for the readers to obey the primary exhortation. It would be ironic in the extreme if we were to seize on the words about meeting together and use them as a justification for rushing back prematurely (and without vaccination) into face-to-face gatherings, without giving careful consideration to the “love and good deeds” we are meant to be spurring each other on toward.
The kind of “meeting together” that the verse encourages as a vehicle for mutual encouragement does not necessarily require large, weekly, extended, indoor gatherings. There are other ways in which we can fulfil the purpose of the exhortation in this verse.[10]
Nevertheless, it is true that face-to-face presence with other believers is basic to how the Christian life is normally to be lived, and Christians who are physically separated from one another will long to gather in person as soon as the circumstances that prevent it can be overcome. In our current context, this gives us as Christians a further motivation to embrace the opportunity of vaccination, if that will help to create the conditions under which such gatherings will be safe and legal.
Conscientious Objections
The conscience of those who remain unpersuaded should be respected, but this does not automatically confer on them a right to act in a way that endangers the health and safety of others.
For a small number of vaccine-hesitant Christians, the objection to vaccination is a conscientious one, arising from the fact that the process of developing some vaccines involved the use of cell lines derived from human fetuses electively aborted decades ago. The use of fetal cell lines in pharmaceutical research is certainly a matter that ought to be of concern for Christians. Nevertheless, there are good reasons why Christians who place a high value on all human life should support rather than oppose the use of the vaccines currently available for COVID-19, none of which contain fetal cell tissue or contribute in any direct way to the destruction of fetuses in our own time.[11] The conscience of those who remain unpersuaded by those arguments should be respected, but respecting a person’s conscience does not automatically confer on them a right to act in a way that endangers the health and safety of others.
Non-Conscientious Objections
Other Christians (and other members of the broader community) resist vaccination for a variety of other reasons, including anxiety about the vaccines’ extremely rare side-effects or scepticism about expert opinion, government policy or the motives of the pharmaceutical industry. Objections of this nature may be firmly held, but in most cases they are not of the sort that should rightly be described as matters of conscience.[12]
Questions for Christian Leaders and Congregations
In the COVID-19 era, churches will be aiming to be inclusive, respectful of conscientious convictions, and safe for all those who attend. Given the current state of our knowledge about the vaccine and assuming levels of community transmission and hospitalisation that are within the capacity of our health system, it is reasonable to anticipate that there will soon be a time when opening our churches to those who are double vaccinated will be unproblematic. But what about those who are unable to be vaccinated for medical reasons, or the children in our church communities who are too young to be vaccinated? What about those who object to vaccination for conscientious reasons, or because they distrust the experts, the authorities or the pharmaceutical industry? And what about the frail and sick members of our church family, for whom infection still poses a serious risk even after vaccination?
Biblical Principles
What biblical principles apply as we seek to address questions such as these?
Love our neighbours (Mark 12:31): In the absence of any convincing argument to the contrary, accepting vaccination should be strongly encouraged as a way to reduce the duration and severity of the pandemic, lessening risk of illness and death, the stress of lockdowns and the strain on our healthcare system. It is an obvious and practical way in which Christians can obey God’s command for us to love our neighbours.
Obey our leaders (Romans 13:1): Our government has a legitimate, God-given responsibility to protect the safety of its citizens and safeguard the interests of the most vulnerable. It is not overstepping the boundaries of its mandate if it requires religious groups to install smoke detectors in their buildings, obtain WWCC clearances for their staff and volunteers, or observe public health regulations to restrict the spread of a pandemic. There are situations in which our duty as Christians to love God and seek the good of our neighbours may require us to stand in civil disobedience against an unjust law, but it would be a rare situation indeed in which conscience required us to disobey the public health measures put in place by a democratically elected government.
Respect the consciences of others (Romans 14): Those whose are genuinely convinced that it would be morally wrong for them to accept the vaccine should not be coerced into sinning against their conscience. But conscientious objection usually comes at a cost of some sort and the safety of the most vulnerable members of the church and the wider community should not be held hostage to the desire of others to do as they please, irrespective of government health orders or the risk to others.
Prioritise the weakest and most vulnerable (1 Corinthians 12:21–26): In both our duty to the wider public and our care for the congregation with whom we gather, we are to prioritise the needs of the weakest and most vulnerable. This is the case even when (and perhaps especially when) they do not have a loud voice of their own to broadcast their opinions and lobby for their rights.
A Path Forward
Given our responsibility to love our neighbours and prioritise the interests of the most vulnerable, there are good and persuasive reasons for us to support and implement a system in which proof of vaccination (or medical exemption) is a standard requirement for attendance at large indoor gatherings such as church services. Because of the high levels of vaccination that would be required for herd immunity, the interconnectedness of the world’s populations and the likely emergence of new variants of concern, a requirement of this sort may continue to be necessary for some time into the future (along with other measures such as social distancing, mask wearing, and frequent handwashing).
But this should not mean that we exclude those who have not been vaccinated from the fellowship of the church or from the circle of our ministry. If a regime of vaccine passports is to be with us for some time into the future, then our energy should be expended not on fighting against it but on finding safe, inclusive and responsible ways to gather and minister within such a context. One obvious option would be to advocate for a system that permitted those who remain unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated to produce evidence of being COVID-negative as a condition for church attendance. Another would be to continue and expand the range of online opportunities for Christian fellowship and online communication. And, as restrictions on outdoor gatherings continue to be relaxed into the future, another would be to take more of our gatherings, both small and large, into suitable outdoor spaces.
With care, creativity and a willingness to pursue the good of others ahead of our own convenience and advantage, it should be entirely possible for us to practise both our call to minister the gospel to all people and our responsibility to love our neighbours and care for the vulnerable, without requiring one of these commitments to trump the other.

[10] This is true even in the case of the word episynagōgē that the writer uses here, which probably does imply a communal gathering of some sort for prayer and hearing God’s word. It is even more obviously true in the case of the wider range of daily interactions between believers that the writer speaks of elsewhere in the letter.

What is an Audiogram and How to Read it
When was the last time you got your hearing tested? Most likely, you won’t even remember what year it was. Hearing plays an important role in a person’s daily life, therefore, even minor problems greatly affect our lives.
According to statistics, today every eighth American suffers from some degree of hearing loss, and the figure is constantly growing. If you do not want to get into a risk group, you should have audiometry done for prevention and identification of further difficulties. What is it and how does it work?
What is an audiogram?
Hearing care professionals use a variety of functional tests to assess the sensitivity of the auditory organ. All of them can be combined into one general term “Audiometry”. I’ll focus on one of the simplest and most effective auditory tests called Tonal Threshold Audiometry. The essence of the method is to determine the thresholds of hearing, the so-called sounds of the lowest intensity that a person can hear at different pitches.
An audiogram is a graph of the patient’s hearing threshold, i.e. an image of a person’s ability to hear sounds of different frequencies. It is a graph created in a coordinate system, in which the sound frequencies (Hz) are marked horizontally, and the hearing thresholds (dB) are marked vertically. All markings show the minimum sound intensity perceived by the ear at a certain frequency. At the end of the test, these points on the audiogram are connected and two lines are formed.
The process of hearing testing itself is completely safe for humans. First, the audiologist examines the ear for wax and removes it if necessary. If the doctor tests air conduction, she puts special headphones on the patient’s ears and gives sound signals of various frequencies. The strength of the sound also varies. Vibrating bone conduction headphone is used to test the degree of bone conduction. It is placed behind the patient’s ear.
The patient should press a button, or inform the doctor about the distinct perception of a particular sound. Unclear answers are indications of the problems. The computer records all signals, and displays them on a graph. The examination takes 10-25 minutes and does not cause any discomfort. The patient is given an audiogram upon completion of the test.
Dr. Stella Fulman, our leading hearing care professional, has a wealth of experience in audiometry. She notes that the most common reasons for conducting a study are:
selection of a hearing aid
preventative medical examination
checking the condition of the middle ear in the elderly
The ability to correctly understand an audiogram is an essential skill of an audiologist. Thanks to the graph analysis, the doctor can confirm a certain degree and type of hearing loss and prescribe the correct course of treatment.
How to read an audiogram?
The audiogram is a graph that is unique to each patient. The vertical axis indicates the sound in dB, and the horizontal axis the frequency in Hz. The resulting curve represents the volume of the sound and the range of frequencies that a person can perceive. During the diagnosis of disorders, the specialist records two graphs: AD – for the right ear, AS – for the left ear. According to international standards, AD curves are shown in red and AS curves in blue. In this case, the thresholds of the right ear are denoted by circles “O”, the left – by crosses “X”.
The results obtained in the process of research should be analyzed and conclusions should be drawn on their basis. For example, if the patient has problems, the audiogram allows you to set a degree of hearing loss:
Normal hearing
In a healthy person, the audiogram shows two almost straight lines without a pronounced bone-air gap between them, the points along which these curves are plotted do not exceed 25 dB.
Mild hearing loss
The curves of the mild hearing loss audiogram are in the range of 26-40 dB. The person usually hears speech well and has problems with quiet speech or when communicating in a noisy environment. Mild hearing loss in childhood leads to the fact that children do not receive 25-40% of speech information, poorly distinguish consonants, get tired quickly, and are often distracted.
How many children have some form of hearing loss? According to the Centers for Disease and Control (CDC), about 15% of children 6 to 19 years old have this problem. Hearing loss in only one ear has a huge impact on school performance!
Moderate hearing loss
The curves range from 41 to 55dB (moderate) or 56 to 70dB (moderately-severe). What are the symptoms of the problem? Speech can be heard from a distance of no more than 2-4 (1-2) meters, whispering – from 1-2 meters (with moderately severe it is not audible). In everyday life, a person with such a hearing impairment often asks to repeat the phrase. Children with a decrease of 55 dB and below lose 100% of speech information. They use visual information (lip reading) to understand speech and have limited vocabulary.
Severe hearing loss
The tonal threshold is 71-90 dB. A person hears only loud sounds. It makes it difficult to communicate without hearing aids.
Profound hearing loss
In this case, the curves of the audiogram fall below 91 dB. At this level of hearing loss, there are big problems, since the person practically does not hear the sounds of the outside world. Communication is only possible using a special device (for example, a cochlear implant) or visual assistance (lip reading, sign language).
The audiogram shows a lot of information. However, the patient doesn’t need to read the graph professionally. The audiologist knows everything you need to know, he’ll explain the results of audiometry even to a layperson. Better, contact the experts at Audiology Island if you have any questions about the hearing test and audiogram!
A hearing test is the right decision to start treatment!
The sooner the treatment starts, the better the results you’ll get. Take our free online hearing test if for some reason you cannot get to the clinic. The whole procedure will not take long. You can choose a suitable place yourself because the testing takes place online. Its results will show the presence/absence of hearing problems. Don’t be discouraged if you have problems, Audiology Island will help you.
Our audiologists have vast experience in hearing aids. We’ll find out the cause and extent of the problem by analyzing the audiogram. Results of the threshold tone audiometry are key to choosing the right type and model of hearing aids and their effective fitting. You’ll keep the audiogram. This will allow in the future, if necessary, to remotely program your devices, bypassing the trip to the clinic. You’ll save time and money!
Remember, hearing is an important sense, without which life becomes unbearable. Do you want to enjoy life? Protect your hearing, or contact Audiology Island in time. We’ll help you!

« Winter 2014 – Week 7 Anime Review
Winter 2014 – Week 9 Anime Review »
This week: thoughts on whether to dislike or sympathize with Yukine in Noragami, why the confession scene in Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha was exceptional, why Silver Spoon S2 works better as a sports anime, and recommending The Princess and the Pilot (Toaru Hikuushi e no Tsuioku) for those watching Pilot’s Love Song (Toaru Hikuushi e no Koiuta)
Best episode of the week: KILL la KILL
Anime trending up this week: Toaru Hikuushi e no Koiuta
Anime trending down this week: Hamatora
Wizard Barristers – Benmashi Cecil (Episode 7)
Whenever an anime travels abroad, like with Wizard Barristers traveling to the US and Canada, I find myself excited knowing that the episode will likely be hilarious and entertaining. The reason for this is unparalleled amusement derives from how the anime always depict other countries. For whatever reason, I always find myself nitpicking on how details are missing or incorrect or how the built environment is wrong and that’s not how roads or buildings look. And as the quality of the anime gets worse, the entertainment gets better… for obvious reasons. You usually don’t see too much of an issue with this in regard to better anime or shows that are set in international countries. It seems this unique form of comedy is usually restricted to shows that travel abroad for an episode or two, as we are seeing with Wizard Barristers. So thankfully for me, I see the best of both aspects with Wizard Barristers traveling to the US and Canada for a couple of episodes and the series being a bit short on quality and intelligence.
Toaru Hikuushi e no Koiuta (Episode 8)
If you’re watching and enjoying Pilot’s Love Song, then I strongly recommend you watch The Princess and the Pilot (Toaru Hikuushi e no Tsuioku) become finishing this anime. This anime movie debuted back in 2011 and takes place in the same universe as Pilot’s Love Song. The two anime are written by the same author, Koroku Inumara, and share a number of parallels, themes and motifs. The two anime really go hand-in-hand with each other and anyone enjoying one will be certain to fall in love with the other. Of course, there are a few differences between the TV series and the movie and not just in terms of the runtime or better art/animation. What the movie lacks in exploring the world and the setting, the TV covers with adequate detail and where the TV series lacks in action and fulfillment, the movie is more than enough. Furthermore, for anyone who watched the movie previously already knows that there are some references that occurred in this episode. So I figure, with the TV series entering the final stages of the story, there is no better time than now to watch The Princess and the Pilot.
Space Dandy (Episode 8)
Throughout all but a handful of minutes, Space Dandy has followed the adventures of Dandy, QT and Meow. But at the very beginning, the series was just Dandy and QT. Although the series features a better dynamic with Dandy, Meow and QT together, I do wonder what life was like before Meow joined the crew and it was simply Dandy and QT wandering aimlessly through space hunting for new species of aliens. Even if it were an episode or two with just Dandy and QT alone would be fine for me, and it could even be something cliché like how Dandy met QT or something along those lines. Still, the series is fine as it is with its presentation and style and comedy. I don’t expect there to be much in terms of developing a history or consistency when many of the episodes feature Dandy or Meow or both dying.
Silver Spoon S2 (Episode 7)
One reason why Silver Spoon S2 has progressed better than Silver Spoon S1 is that it’s more of a sports anime than a school anime. Although Silver Spoon is still technically a school anime and all the scenes are still related to school in one way or another, the sports aspect of Silver Spoon have flourished in recent episodes. Perhaps this is because there are multiple sports featured in Silver Spoon, although in reality, it’s just baseball and equestrian events. Still, the balance between the two and the uniqueness of horseback riding certainly bode well for Silver Spoon, and alternating between baseball and equestrian provides the audience with a break and some diversity. Rather than focusing too intensely on one sports, like what we see with most sports anime, Silver Spoon lets us see characters with differing personalities find something that they can enjoy. And to differentiate the sports setting from the school setting, I’d say the sports aspects in Silver Spoon are a bit more exciting and passionate than the school side, save for a few choice scenes. To me, Silver Spoon is better as a sports anime than a school anime because of these reasons. That and I tend to rank most anime genre ahead of the school genre anyway…
Noragami (Episode 8)
I can’t tell if we’re supposed to dislike Yukine or sympathize with him. On one hand, the kid is a brat and has a negative personality, never willing to accept responsibility for his destructive actions and showing a lack of willpower and restraint. You see the pain and suffering he’s caused for Yato and the hardships he’s placed on Hiyori. Furthermore, you never really see him be thankful for what he’s received… which might not be much but still much more than he received as a tiny, little snowflake of a ghost. So on this hand, you’re supposed to detest Yukine. On the other hand, however, you’re dealing with a deceased and troubled teenage who obviously doesn’t know how to handle the situation he was forced into. Yukine had no choice about his death and his forced ‘resurrection’, nor does he have the choice to be the servant of an unpopular and impoverished god who has little to no luck on his side. Furthermore, Yukine has his own pain and suffering when seeing everything that he’s lost or unable to attain. And Yukine has no place to besides Hiyori. So on this hand, you’re supposed to sympathize with Yukine.
But to me, I don’t see it that way. Or, perhaps more appropriately, I see the dislike hand to greatly outweigh the sympathy hand. To me, I dislike Yukine’s character for what he’s done and how he acts. I can understand and empathize with his hardships, or at least as much as we’re able to through the story, but his actions are reprehensible and appalling, especially toward Yato and Hiyori. I can understand if he doesn’t like Yato and wants to fondle Hiyori’s boobs, but he should be more grateful to his new master and his only friend. After all, it’s not like they’re going through their own difficulties and hardships too, with Yato struggling to survive (not to mention a deadly war with Bishamon) and Hiyori searching to reunite her soul with her body. So to me, I can’t sympathize with Yukine… at least not now. If he has a change of heart and realizes his mistakes and takes responsibility for his actions, then maybe I’ll change my opinion of Yukine. But for now, I dislike him.
KILL la KILL (Episode 20)
I always love it when people switch sides. Absolutely love it. KILL la KILL really knows what I want from an anime and it delivers every episode. What more can I say when I gush and glow about it every week? Or rather, what more do I need to say in order to express my admiration and gratitude for KILL la KILL? I think this will do just fine.
Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha (Episode 7)
The confession scene in Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha was outstandingly brilliant. The duality of the scene is a stunning example of exceptional anime writing and the expression of Inari’s character was genuine and honest. The fact that we saw her confess while disguised as another classmate might not count as much progress in the story… but that’s not what the point of this scene was. We finally saw Inari confirm her emotions and be honest with herself. Prior to the scene, it seems as though Inari had a simple crush, what is a relatively weak attraction in terms of a romance anime and something unfortunately common within the romance genre. Here, however, Inari is able to put her feelings into words in front of the boy she loves and is able to articulate her love into something tangible. Additionally, the fact that she does it in the form of another girl speaks volumes about her compassion and responsiveness toward others. Although we don’t know how Inari would have reacted had Kouji accepted the request, we were able to see another window into Inari’s character and her selflessness toward others. What makes a great character into a phenomenal character are scenes like these. Witnessing this character growth and watching Inari mature as a human has really made this anime one of the best of this season. It’s a shame that the series isn’t centered around Inari more and has to deal with Uka’s problems because the strength of the series is in Inari’s character and how she’s able to positively influence the lives of the characters around her.
Hamatora (Episode 8)
Of all the anime with fanservice in them, I strongly believe that Hamatora has the worst fanservice. Or at the very least, the fanservice is always bad or disappointing. With this as the beach episode of the series, featuring girls in bikinis and… well, just girls in general, Hamatora was somehow never fulfilling or rewarding. Sure, there was a lot more skin and some fanservicey situations, but it’s nothing out of the ordinary for anime. In fact, the most racy shot was Honey’s bikini top coming undone but… nothing happened. And in previous episodes, the fanservice has always been rather tame or boring. It’s like they wanted to include sexy fanservice but missed the point of it being actually ‘sexy’ or ‘service to the fans’. Still… as bad and unfulfilling as the fanservice has been in Hamatora, it’s still far better than the atrocious comedy.
Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai! Ren (Episode 8)
How does Yuuta, Rikka and everyone else always find these other chuunibyou people to do battle with? Or rather, when these battles are happening, what do these other characters do? To me, seeing all these other people with chuunibyou in the series just lessens the importance and distinctiveness of Rikka’s character. The series is supposed to be built around Rikka’s delusions and childish behavior as what makes her character and this romance different. But when you have a dozen other characters like her in the series, what’s left to make her stand out from the rest? Besides her eye patch, I really fail to see how Rikka is different than Dekomori or Satone or the Maple Hill Siesta Club or even this new ‘fake’ Mori Summer. After all this, I’m beginning to see Rikka as somewhat normal in this universe or, if not that, more normal than when we saw her for the first time. It’s somewhat unfortunate to see the luster of Rikka’s character disappear from this season of Chuunibyou Ren, but it does mean for more beautifully animated battles in phantasmal or fantastic wonderlands… so I’m alright with this trade-off.

I can’t really say why, but Meow has become by far my favourite character in Space Dandy. Which actually worked out really well for me this week, since he just got his own episode for number 10.
As to Noragami, I think I’m leaning more towards sympthathising with Yukine than disliking him. A lot of this is probaby due to last week’s episode 9 though, which also happned to be my favourite episode of the series so far. Putting that aside though, I think it’s a good thing that the audience is being made to think about whether to dislike or to sympthatise with Yukine, especially if it leads to them doing both. It shows that Yukine isn’t just a one-note character – that it is indeed possible to feel more than one way about him, just like we usually do about people in real life. A good fictional character to me isn’t someone I necessarily love; it’s someone who feels realistic in their actions/motivations and who makes me think.
#2 by avvesione on March 16, 2014 - 8:52 PM
Yeah, episode 10 was a great way to develop Meow as a character and not just something for Dandy and QT to make fun of. I was really happy with that episode.
I agree that a good fictional character is one that makes you think and that has some humanistic qualities to them. Even though there are plenty of characters I love that don’t fit this mode, I can at least respect them and appreciate them if they fit these details. So while I don’t like Yukine, I can still respect him as a character and everything he’s going through.

As far as Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai! Ren, I am in the process of catching up now. I agree with you that there are too many people with chuunibyou. When I started watching Ren I was expecting to see a stronger connection between Rikka and Yuuta. Granted they live together and Yuuta is starting to take a few more steps to build flirtatious couple activities into their contract, but I just wish there were a few more heart stopping moments between them. I’ll keep watching to see how their relationship develops, but as of right now its beginning to feel like background noise when I’m on my laptop.
Yeah, it’s too bad the relationship has been slow for the entire new season of Chuunibyou, but I suppose that’s probably due to the anime being quite a bit different than the novels. Considering that there are so many new characters that the anime has to write in, the romance between Yuuta and Rikka has stagnated. That also plays into the fact that there are too many people with chuunibyou, too. Still, I’m content with the anime and what it has become. The romance was never my favorite aspect of this anime, but it still sucks to see it sit still while episodes pass by with just comedy and nothing substantial.
#5 by Kyoko on March 17, 2014 - 8:31 AM
I just hope they’ll take a leap and add a bit more romantic situations between Rikka and Yuuta, but all in all I still enjoy the anime and I look forward to seeing the battle scenes between Rikka and Shichimiya.
#6 by avvesione on March 19, 2014 - 10:46 PM
Yeah, it’d be nice if they added in some more romance, but I think they’re aiming to stop at a certain place in the romance to end the season and then maybe see if they can do another season thereafter with another few small steps in romance (and a lot more cash in their wallets).

First Awards Season Stop: The Hollywood Film Awards
The Hollywood Film Awards might not boast the same caché as the Academy Awards, but it’s widely regarded as the first of many stops on the way to the Dolby Theater for awards hopefuls. The glitzy gala, which takes place tonight at the Beverly Hilton, has risen in prominence over the last few years, representing the official start of awards season–at least in terms of the flurry of red-carpet opportunities and sit-down dinners that comprise November through February in Los Angeles.
While many of this year’s honorees are likely to hear their names when Oscar nominations are announced Jan. 10, this group is determined not by industry professionals, but by Hollywood Film Awards founder, Carlos de Abreu, and a small committee. Nevertheless, de Abreu has been prescient in his past selections, which last year included Oscar winners Jean Dujardin, Octavia Spencer, and Christopher Plummer.
All of the honorees are announced ahead of time, so there won’t be any moments of shock or surprise, meaning everyone can relax at their crowded tables and enjoy the show. Tonight’s affair will include an ensemble award for the cast of Argo, for which Warner Bros. is in full campaign mode; director David O. Russell, lead actor Bradley Cooper, and supporting actor Robert DeNiro will receive mention for Silver Linings Playbook, another serious contender for The Weinstein Company and Cooper’s first real shot at an acting nom; Rust and Bone star and previous Oscar winner Marion Cotillard will receive an actress award; Quentin Tarantino is getting a screenwriting award for the film he also directed, Django Unchained; and Les Miserables and Anna Karenina producers Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner of Working Title Films will receive producer awards. Richard Gere, who’s getting great reviews for his role in Arbitrage, is tapped for career achievement, and Amy Adams will be honored for her supporting role in The Master.

Orphan Black Star Tatiana Maslany Plays Multiple Characters
Vlada Gelman is West Coast reporter of TVLine. This story appeared in the June 19 issue of AwardsLine.
Tatiana Maslany has many faces—and walks and personalities and ways of talking.
The versatile star of BBC America’s Orphan Black plays not one or even two characters on the clone thriller, but seven—and often all in the same episode. To differentiate the roles, the Canadian actress gives each of her “sisters” distinctive physical mannerisms and quirks.
For nervy American suburbanite Alison, who prances around in leggings and UGG boots with urgency, Maslany played with the idea that the mother of two was an aspiring ballerina who didn’t have what it takes to go pro. “But she’s maintained all of that posture and tightness and holding your butt (and) stomach in,” explains the actress, adding that Alison also “breathes up higher because she’s panicking a lot of the time.”
Maslany uses hand gestures “to paint pictures” with super-intelligent science nerd Cosima because “(her) brain is working 100,000 miles a minute faster than everybody else’s,” while tapping into “sexually masculine” attributes for the animalistic Russian doppelganger Helena. On top of all that, the clones frequently impersonate one another, meaning the actress must inhabit two roles at once so that viewers are clued in to the hijinks, but the fictional figures on the show are fooled.
“I don’t try to play the other character until I’ve settled into the character that I actually am,” says Maslany. “I really try to make them as strong as possible, and then let them play that other person.”
The end result is multiple truly individual performances from just one actress. So should each character get their own Emmy nomination? “I don’t know about that,” laughs Maslany. “What if three of them were nominated, but one of them wasn’t?”

Vlada Gelman is West Coast editor of TVLine. This story appeared in the June 19 issue of AwardsLine.
Michael Cudlitz doesn’t need a lot of words to get his point across.
As one of the stars of TNT’s canceled cop drama Southland, the actor was handed countless scenes last season in which his officer John Cooper barely spoke, and yet he says so much. During one of Cudlitz’s favorite moments, he shares the screen with longtime TV actor Gerald McRaney (Simon & Simon, Major Dad), playing John’s retired, alcoholic mentor. McRaney carries most of the dialogue as his character laments his empty life, but the heartbreaking confessional is just as much about John facing his own future.
“To me, it doesn’t matter who’s doing the talking,” Cudlitz explains. “You still have to be extremely present, extremely active, and you’ve got to know what’s going on.”
In working with a legend like McRaney, “My job in that scene became to not screw up what he was doing,” he adds with a laugh. “It’s one of those wonderful moments (where) you are on the ride. It’s not a moment you have to create. It’s just there. You enjoy it as a performer.”
In the same episode, John wordlessly confronts his dying rapist-murderer father. He then caps the season with a brutal fight in which his fists do all the talking and that ends with him being shot by his colleagues in blue. “That’s awesome to go to that place of freedom,” says Cudlitz of playing the officer’s raw breakdown. But the magic of how he gets to those emotional points and what he was thinking during the silences will remain an envied secret.
“It’s hard to talk specifically about the work because it’s sort of intangible,” explains the actor. “You start to take away from the work if you talk about it too much.”
The Man Behind the History in Vikings
Diane Haithman is an AwardsLine contributor.
In the first episode of History’s Vikings, lead character Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel) can barely contain his excitement as he tries to persuade brother Rollo (Clive Standen) that Viking ships might venture West to discover what new cities and new gods might be found in uncharted territory. How, wonders Rollo, can a ship stay true to its course with no land in sight?
Ragnar shows Rollo the sunboard, a disc that floats on water and charts direction by the location of the noon shadow. Rollo remains skeptical: What happens when clouds obscure the sun? Ragnar then unwraps the precious sunstone, a crystal whose reflective properties can pinpoint the sun’s position even in blinding fog.
Justin Pollard makes sure the history portrayed in Vikings is true.
The sunstone had long been part of Viking legend when Justin Pollard, historical consultant and associate producer of Vikings (History’s first scripted series), suggested to series creator-writer Michael Hirst that the sunstone (actually a calcite crystal called Icelandic spar) be woven in the story.
But it came as a surprise when, less than two weeks after the series’ March 3 premiere, news reports broke that a piece of the crystal had been discovered in a shipwreck from the later Elizabethan period, suggesting that the “magic gem” of Viking legend was not only real, but the navigational tool was borrowed by other cultures and used for centuries after the Vikings sailed the seas.
“Justin is my anchor,” Hirst says. “It’s his input which anchors my stories in the real and the true. I needed to give Ragnar, my hero, some piece of knowledge so useful and special that it both marked him out from other men and also pushed the story forward.” Finding hard evidence of the sunstone after the fact, Hirst says, was the icing on the historical cake.
In a telephone interview from his home in Dorset, England, Pollard—historical consultant for film and TV productions including Les Misérables, numerous Working Title films including Atonement and Elizabeth and Showtime’s series The Tudors, also created by Hirst—says it’s all about using concrete clues to create what might have been.
“As a writer, you can imagine a more primitive world, but it’s very hard to imagine what’s now missing, what they used to have that’s gone,” Pollard says. “That’s what I try to do.”
Pollard feels a particular obligation to illuminate the truth about Viking culture, defined in the mind of the general public by horned helmets (they didn’t wear those) or Bugs Bunny’s animated romp through Wagnerian opera in What’s Opera, Doc?
“It’s about making a bigger world. Not every Viking was a warrior,” Pollard says. He is particularly proud of bringing to light the role of women, who were more independent and powerful than in much later periods of European history.
Pollard acknowledges that History draws an unusually well-read audience. “We did have one instance where Athelstan (George Blagden) is speaking Anglo-Saxon, and someone said his Anglo-Saxon didn’t have enough of a Northumbrian accent,” he recalls. Pollard was less annoyed than awed that a viewer knew Anglo-Saxon well enough to discern the regional accent.
Pollard says his biggest challenge is speed. Being able to locate an expert on Latvian hats at, well, the drop of a hat—or getting “the call at 3 in the morning saying, ‘We could do with a bit of Norse swearing. Can I have it in an hour?’”
But speed can have its advantages. The creative team can access the most recent academic research and bring it to a general audience far more quickly than the classroom can. “That’s the best thing about comparing an academic historian’s role to doing this—I get to wander through these places, and live in these times,” Pollard says. “You see characters brought to life on the screen more quickly than you do in academia.”
Pollard said re-creating a real historic period can be more rewarding than inventing a fantasy past for a series such as Game of Thrones. “It’s beautiful, it’s strange, but nothing is particularly surprising in a fantasy world,” he says. “The beauty of historical drama is you can find the beautiful and the strange in things that really did happen.”

Bob Odenkirk on Industry Lessons
Anthony D’Alessandro is managing editor of AwardsLine. This story appeared in the June 12 issue of AwardsLine.
On mentors
(My improv teacher) Del Close was the first guy that I saw, in person, do what I would call “acting.” Occasionally, in class he would get up and do the exercise, and he was fundamentally better—and, of course, a lot older—than everyone else. But it was a revelation. You could really feel the difference between what we were doing, which was reaching and searching, and an actor who was discovering the moment in a very immediate way.
(My late manager) Bernie Brillstein always said to me, “Trust your own talents.” I love collaborating and that got a little annoying with Bernie at times. He said, “Just do your thing. You have a voice, just do it.”
On professionalism
Watching Chi McBride, who starred in some of the movies I directed, really made me think. He came in to audition for one part; it was a long monologue. He knew it cold, and he delivered it with the intensity and the professionalism that you would want in the final performance. And I was like, “Holy shit! You brought it big time.” I either forgot or never realized that there are really professional actors out there who show up completely ready to rock. But Chi was one of the first that I saw, just in auditioning, at another level. Seeing him made me think, “This is what I have to do if I’m going to call myself a pro and not just get jobs from my friends, or jobs that I wrote for myself.”
On big breaks
My first big break was Saturday Night Live, and I’m not sure I ever got it right. I hung in there. I was a bit overwhelmed by it. I think at a certain point you get set back on your heels and you get intimidated, and from that you either quit the biz or you learn that you have some modicum of talent to rely on. Breaking Bad has also been a huge break for me. Outside of The Larry Sanders Show, which had a very real feeling, I’d never have roles like Saul Goodman offered to me. I guess it’s shown me that I can approach acting with a seriousness of purpose, and people have been pretty positive about the result.
On learning from mistakes
I constantly repeat my mistakes and say, “I’ll never do it again!” That’s what being a person is all about. I guess one mistake I try to avoid is saying yes to material before I really know it and know that I can contribute. I’m so thankful to be a part of this crazy business that I have, on occasion, accepted an offer or tried for a project that I don’t have the necessary connection with. That rarely comes out well. Nowadays, if I don’t really “get” the material, I’m much more apt to back away. That can be very hard to do, saying no to an opportunity, but I need to be confident that I can participate.
On giving advice
Spend more time developing the idea than executing it. Act 3 doesn’t mean a thing if the first five pages don’t make me excited to hear your story. And if I’m super excited about your story, you can probably mess up a million times and I’ll still be interested. You can make it better as you go. It doesn’t matter if Page 48 has a good joke on it, or where the damn act break belongs, if I don’t really care about the story. So think about that story that’s really worth telling, and then worry about laughs or the structure. Unless you’re writing a book about structure, then go nuts! You’ll sell a million copies! I’ll buy one, and it won’t help me a bit!
Emmys Q&A: Robin Wright
Cari Lynn is an AwardsLine contributor.
With her early iconic roles of Buttercup (The Princess Bride) and Jenny (Forrest Gump) nestled into filmgoers’ collective consciousness, it’s easy to forget that Robin Wright’s roots were in TV, where she garnered three Daytime Emmy noms in the mid-1980s for her role on the soap Santa Barbara. Now, after a couple decades of a lauded but intermittent film career, Wright is back on the small-screen in Netflix’s House of Cards, where she’s generating Emmy buzz for her deftly nuanced role as Congressman Underwood’s (Kevin Spacey) formidable wife, Claire, a cold-blooded schemer with hot flashes.
You started in TV, but did you ever think you’d be back on a series?
No. Never. Never imagined. The other thing is, I never watched TV—well that’s not true, I did watch Friends with my kids, but that was about it. But David Fincher said to me, “This is a new medium; it’s not television. No one’s ever done this revolutionary format. This is where the future is heading.” We’d done Girl with the Dragon Tattoo together, and I wanted to be in business with him. I’ve been in this business nearly 30 years, and you get to a point where you know who you want to work with. I wanted to work with David and Kevin and (writer) Beau Willimon. It’s a true collaboration.
House of Cards is based on a British series, only your character was a minor role—a wife in her husband’s shadow, merely enduring his behavior. Did Claire always have such a prominent role in the U.S. version?
David brought that point to my attention in the beginning and said I could watch the British series to get a sense of where we’re going, but that I was not going to gather anything about the wife and that we were going to expand that role tremendously. He said she will build and evolve as we go—and I love that, that’s why I get up and want to go to work each day.
Claire has been described as an uber-bitch. How do you see her?
I see her as a professional calculator, as in, she’s very calculated in what their moral code is and what their standards are. There’s an agreement between her and her husband: This is what we accept, this is what we don’t. Is she evil? No. It’s more Machiavellian, more like, whatever it takes to achieve what we want. And yet, they’re human and those beautiful moments come up. They get hurt. They react. They retaliate.
At first, Frank and Claire seem like the ultimate power couple. But then it’s deftly revealed that they have a rather nontraditional marriage bargain. Did you know at the outset how the season was to develop?
Yes, I was aware of this part. It was described as: they are business partners but have a love and respect for each other. She is Lady Macbeth to his Richard III. They have an empire they need to hold up. I did know they would look the other way if they had to have dalliances to further their throne.
Your character is one of the most layered in the series, and one of the most reserved. Yet you convey a lot with silence and a seemingly content, yet chilling, smile. Did you toy with Claire’s disposition? She could easily have been as hot-tempered as her husband.
David helped me so much with that. I didn’t really know what to do in the beginning. I thought, this character is just Robin dressed in more grown-up clothes—not the real-life me who’s always in Levis and a T-shirt. She has a sophisticated manner with sophisticated makeup and hair. And then David gave me a basic but great piece of advice. He said, ‘Don’t move so much. I want you to be very still. She’s like a bust, the strength, the pillar next to Francis. She can crack a little with emotion, but it will never break her.’ I thought, Oh this I can relate to in a sense memory way. So I played her very contained.
Your pixie cut made news. I’ve worked on Capitol Hill and can vouch that practical cuts are all the rage. Was this style specifically for the show?
My hair was fried from doing three movies with different hair colors, so I’d already chopped it off and had an asymmetrical cut. But there was a little concern that it was not a conventional D.C. haircut, so we had to add pieces to make it longer and more traditional.
Some of the most revealing scenes come at the windowsill when Claire and Frank share their allotted cigarette—yet I was surprised to learn you only recently quit smoking. How did you approach the frequent smoking scenes?
It could have been that the characters take a walk or play backgammon, but the smoking thing is such a rebellion. It’s like two teenagers doing their secret, coveted thing together. Because a congressman and his wife would never smoke publicly! You know how the press blew up over Obama having a cigarette. Actually, both Kevin and I quit smoking halfway through the season, unbeknownst to each other at the time. But we both switched to smoking herbal cigarettes in the scenes. Although he’s much stronger than I am, he truly quit. I cheat every now and then.
Emmys Q&A: Rob Lowe
David Mermelstein is an AwardsLine contributor.
For some people, Rob Lowe will forever be associated with that group of young actors who emerged in the mid-1980s and remain known as the Brat Pack. But a more considered look at Lowe’s career reveals a steadily evolving performer, now 49—one who has grown from matinee idol to more mature leading man and, most recently, character actor. That last distinction finds its fullest expression thus far in Lowe’s commandingly creepy portrayal of Dr. Jack Startz, the pill-pushing plastic surgeon who handily holds his own opposite Michael Douglas’s Liberace and Matt Damon’s Scott Thorson in Steven Soderbergh’s cinematic swan song, Behind the Candelabra.
How did you land the role of Dr. Jack Startz?
As far as I know, it was a Steven Soderbergh special. I got a call out of the blue that Steven wanted me to do the part. I had been following the project as a fan, thinking this is going to be amazing. I didn’t even need to read the script to know that I wanted to be a part of it. And then when I read it, I was over the moon.
What most appealed to you about the part?
I had a sense that it was a film in which all of the actors were going to be taking pretty big swings. And so it was an environment where it would be appropriate for me to really go for it. In my initial conversations with Steven, I told him I had a take on this character and asked him, “What is your appetite for me to swing for the fences?” What I had in mind would either end my acting career or be a real chance for growth. And that’s the case for everybody’s work on this film, because everybody is putting it out there. There were times when I would be with Matt in these butt-tight Speedos and oiled up with Crisco, and we’d look at each other and laugh and say, “My, what has become of us? This may be the end.” Guys like us don’t get much opportunity to do this kind of a thing. I found the whole thing unbelievably liberating and exciting and, most of all, really, really fun.
Michael Douglas, Matt Damon and Steven Soderbergh have all won Oscars. What it like working with them?
You know going in that you’re surrounded and protected, so you’re free to really take chances. Steven’s career is based on taking chances, and then you see it happening on set—the level of confidence and mastery that he has. It’s like working with Coppola or Bob Zemeckis or any of the guys who have completely mastery of storytelling and working with actors. It’s in their DNA. And Matt has always been one of my favorite actors. I think of his performances in many movies, but especially in The Talented Mr. Ripley, as being as good as anyone could be. And he’s such a nice, decent, great man. Michael is a whole other beast. He is someone I grew up watching and hoping to emulate. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, which he produced and won an Oscar for, is the first movie I saw multiple times. That movie changed my life. I even brought a tape recorder into the theater once. And I studied his speeches in The American President before I auditioned for Aaron Sorkin and The West Wing.
What about the physical requirements of the role—the pulled back face, the droopy eyelids. What was it like to be so heavily made up?
I had a very particular look that I wanted to do. I know next to nothing about the real Dr. Startz. The only roadmap I had was the book Behind the Candelabra by Scott Thorson. I had in mind the type of guy you would see in the 1980s with quasi-good seats at Lakers games, a guy of indeterminate sexual orientation, a vaguely transplanted East Coaster who had come to California and then gone off the reservation. So I knew what I wanted. And Steven’s amazing makeup and hair team were able to make it happen. We used tape, wire, rubber bands and a lot of Advil. It was not pretty. Sometimes you have to suffer to be beautiful.
Is there greater freedom playing a character role as opposed to a leading man?
Implicit in that is that I don’t feel free in the leading man roles I do, and that’s not true. I do feel free in those kinds of roles. But inherent in doing a part like Dr. Startz is a level of letting the chips fall where they may. I don’t think you can do that when you’re carrying a movie or a TV series. When that’s your job, you have more of a fiduciary responsibility to serve other masters. But when you can come in and hopefully hit the snot out of a ball and then go back to the dugout, you really have the freedom to only serve yourself and what you’d like to accomplish.
You’ve done some terrific work in recent years, from Robert McCallister on Brothers & Sisters to Chris Traeger on Parks and Recreation and now this. Does it feel like a really great period in your professional life?
It’s good to know people perceive it that way, because it feels very fulfilling to me. And certainly I’m having opportunities in terms of the breadth of roles that I maybe haven’t ever had before. And that’s all an actor can hope for at the end of the day. My hopes and aspirations haven’t changed since I started in this business. They’ve been to be able to play drama, to be able to play comedy, to be able to play leading men, and to be able to play character roles. I have no other aspirations in this regard. To be able to do that is really great, and I’m really enjoying it.
Emmys Q&A: Kevin Bacon
Matt Webb Mitovich is editor at large of TVLine and an AwardsLine contributor. This story appeared in the June 5 issue of AwardsLine.
He has traveled to the moon, survived Alcatraz, put a few good men on trial and, yes, once almost got arrested for dancing. But in the course of more than 35 years of acting, one of the few things Kevin Bacon never explored was a TV role in a regular series—until Fox’s The Following invited him to hunt down a clever killer. Now, his turn as troubled FBI consultant Ryan Hardy could cop him his first Emmy nomination since the HBO miniseries Taking Chance.
What exactly was it that led you to your first series regular TV role?
You have to keep in mind that it was a different world when I started out. There was a real dividing line between being a television actor and being a film actor. But when (wife) Kyra (Sedgwick) got offered The Closer, it started to open up a new world to me, second hand. I saw the satisfaction she was getting, peeling back layers week after week. Simultaneously, I was catching up on a lot of TV—The Sopranos, The Wire, Dexter. The second I made the call, “OK, I’m interested in looking at television,” I was reading all of this great stuff. I simultaneously started developing (projects at Showtime and HBO), and after a few years of that, The Following came along.
Having inhabited a variety of roles over your career, what’s the challenge of playing a hero versus the colorful bad guy?
I’ll speak just to this character: It has to be small, it has to have subtlety, it has to be a lot about what’s not said and what’s not shown, and you have to trust that people will come to him without him saying, “Please love me.” But if I’m playing someone who is more of a villain, I’m going to try and find what the humanity is—maybe it’s a sense of humor, a charm or a swagger, or a sexuality, so it’s not just, “He’s so bad.” Conversely, with a heroic character, I want us to find out, “What’s damaged about him? How does he fuck up?” With The Following, we talked a lot about how I don’t want him to be infallible—here he goes again, kicking ass and taking no names.
But do you wrestle with that when the narrative demands that the FBI bungle something again?
I don’t, because I don’t see Ryan as really part of the FBI. He was an agent, but he left under questionable circumstances. He goes by his own rules and makes mistakes. It’s the moments where he breaks away and takes risks that I think are very interesting and true to who he is. You have to have a character that screws up but ultimately has some wins.
He can’t be Jack Bauer.
Right. Early on, Fox talked to me about this in comparison to 24, but they did say there’d be a lot of differences between the characters.
Would you have considered playing the villain here?
The movies, for whatever reasons, have offered me the opportunities to play villains—I had X-Men: First Class in the can and R.I.P.D. was about to be shot when I read The Following—but I thought that if I go into television, I should do some version of heroic. But this guy is definitely flawed, and (creator) Kevin (Williamson) and I spoke a lot about keeping that piece of it alive.
They kind of dialed back Ryan’s nipping at the vodka….
It’s interesting that you say that. I added it a couple of times and for whatever reasons they’ve opted to not show it. His issues with alcohol have been interesting. There probably are alcoholics who would dispute this as a possibility, but it feels to me like he’s a guy who is a “self-medicator,” and it goes in waves.
Talk about preparing for a scene with James Purefoy versus Natalie Zea.
I don’t think my preparation changes much. The thing about both of them is that they are incredibly smart, generous actors who come in ready to go, with their sleeves rolled up and just no bullshit. I don’t know if it’s a function of Kevin Williamson or what, but I can’t think of a person on this cast that I felt anything other than excited to be working with, and everyone felt thrilled to be on the show. Even the people that come in just for an episode and then die! One of the tragedies of our situation is the fact that people come and go with a lot of frequency.
If Ryan’s love Claire winds up dying, how might that affect him in Season 2?
My discussions with Kevin have been in very broad strokes, but what I really respond to, that he’s brought up to me, is the idea that when you next see Ryan, he’s in a very different place in his life. There’s the idea that we may jump ahead in time, so maybe we’ll have the opportunity to find a more together guy.
What would it mean to win an Emmy—and with such complicated, dark material—in your first foray into regular series television?
I have already gotten so much pleasure from playing this part and interacting with the people that have enjoyed the show. But even a nomination would be the icing on the cake, the lox on the bagel, the olive in the martini.
Da Vinci’s Demons Creator David S. Goyer on What Informs His Career
Thomas J. McLean is an AwardsLine contributor. This story appeared in the June 19 issue of AwardsLine.
My mentor was a guy, now deceased, named Nelson Gidding, who wrote a lot of movies for Robert Wise. I was a teaching assistant for him when I was at USC. He said, “Don’t try to write for the market, just write what you love. Write what you believe in, then stick to your guns even if it means you get fired.” There were some times when I’d stick to my guns and I’ve been fired, and some times I wish I’d stuck to my guns, which probably would have gotten me fired more. But he said that at the end of the day, everybody wants a good screenplay, and everybody recognizes good writing and creative integrity. In the long run, he felt that would win out.
On the big break
My real big break was the screenplay for Blade, which I wrote in 1994. And Michael DeLuca allowed me to write exactly what I wanted to write without any editorial comment. That first draft of Blade, which is pretty close to the film that got made, was the first time I was just simply allowed to write whatever was in my head. That script—even though it ended up taking about three years to get made—opened up a lot of doors for me because it was a script a lot of people in Hollywood liked, and it was on a lot of people’s reading lists. That was the first time that people just started offering me projects as opposed to me having to pitch them. It was the first time I had written a script that was just purely from my unexpurgated imagination, where there was no one editorially sitting over my shoulder saying, “Do this,” or “Do that,” or “That’s not funny,” or “I don’t buy that.” And it was really interesting to me that that was the script that ultimately landed me on the map.
On uncomfortable moments in the business
When a network executive wanted me to audition his mistress as a series regular, (and she) clearly did not have the dramatic chops to do it. And this person was going up against a woman who has since won an Academy Award, so that was awkward.
On the keys to success
Although luck can play a component in it, ultimately, if I look at a lot of the successful people I know, they were incredibly hard workers. I was very diligent when I was writing in film school and even after film school. Even when I had a job as a production assistant, I kept to a very strict writing schedule. Sometimes it was only an hour every night or something like that. But I look back and I track where I’m at versus some of the people I went to school with, and I had a lot more screenplays under my belt when I graduated. I was very tenacious, and a lot of the people I know who were successful are very tenacious. Luck can only take you so far. Yes, there are people out there who were incredibly lucky, but being tenacious is more important.
On parental advice
I had been accepted to USC Film School, and I grew up in Michigan. My mother had always wanted to be an artist, and she regretted not attempting that or pursuing that. She said to me, “You really need to do this and try this because if you try and you fail, you can always go back to being a detective or whatever. But if you have the opportunity to try to fulfill your dream and you don’t take it, you’re going to regret it for the rest of your life, like I did.” And so I remember that. And I thank her for that.
Emmys Q&A: Corey Stoll
Although Oberlin and Tisch-grad Corey Stoll received accolades for his 2004 stage performance opposite Viola Davis in Intimate Apparel and was a series regular on Law and Order: LA, his breakout came in 2011 playing Ernest Hemingway in Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris. But it’s his role as Peter Russo in David Fincher’s lauded House of Cards that is now generating Emmy buzz. Stoll plays a well-meaning U.S. Representative from Philadelphia, whose dalliances with debauchery land him beholden to the Machiavellian congressman from South Carolina played by Kevin Spacey.
Peter Russo is such a richly nuanced character. How did this role come to you?
It happened before all the pilot season craziness. I read the script and fell in love instantly. I put (my audition) on tape, but then didn’t hear anything for months. When they did come back to me, it was to meet with David Fincher. The irony is that when I first auditioned, I thought it was a part that could go on for years. It’s a high bar when you’re looking at a pilot, and you want a character that you could play for a while, a character where you can see all the iterations. It was in this initial meeting when David gave me the basic character arc, and there was part of me that was holding some sort of hope they would change their mind (about the character’s demise). But then I began to see it as more like doing a film role, and I could really dig in in that way.
I had an overall eye-opening experience when I interned on Capitol Hill. Was there anything about politics and D.C. that you were surprised to learn?
I was shocked at how young the city is! Interns and young staffers are the people who make the city function. I’m not the first person to point out the parallels between Hollywood and D.C.—the intersection of image-making, power and money. I saw that the reason some people originally went into politics and where they wind up can get mixed up very easily. The game can be so intoxicating.
You’ve had more TV experience than David Fincher, Kevin Spacey and showrunner Beau Willimon combined. What was it like to be the veteran TV actor on set?
(Laughs.) It didn’t give me an advantage that’s for sure. We all seemed to approach this as, we are just telling stories. It wasn’t typical in that every episode has to come in at a slated time. Some episodes were 42 minutes, others closer to an hour. The way Beau and the other writers told this story was on their own terms. It wasn’t about this is a certain form and you need to know the form. I would sometimes look at the way shots were being composed and marvel at how filmic it was. They made the form come to them.
Netflix slated two seasons, 13 episodes each, from the get-go. Did shooting this way differ from other series?
It wasn’t an easy shoot. The hours were long; we were away from our homes (shooting in Baltimore). There were definite challenges, but it did feel more filmic. That said, there was still a TV aspect where you’re getting scripts as you’re going along. But there was an intensity and focus that certainly felt different from any other TV I’ve done.
Your character is an addict with deep-rooted pain, yet he really wants to do the right thing politically. What’s it like to play someone who’s his own worst enemy?
That’s what was exciting to me about the part. Over the past couple of years I’ve played a lot of incredibly self-confident, high-status, alpha men, which were fun, but this was great to be able to show a much more vulnerable side. There’s something liberating about that. I think we all understand disappointing yourself. Especially in the acting profession, which is probably similar to a political career, even the most stable, head-on-straight person is still going to be confronted with doing something that they shouldn’t, that could affect their job or cause them not to be at their best—even if it’s something as simple as taking a red eye for an audition at 6 a.m. the next morning and you know you’ll be dragging. It’s a discipline that’s relentless and I don’t know an actor who hasn’t let himself down at some point. I imagine it’s the same in politics. There’s always the potential to self sabotage.
Peter goes on several benders throughout the show. How did you achieve the red-eyed, hopped-up look?
Good makeup definitely helps. But in general, I’m trying to go in an opposite direction. It’s sort of cliché, but when you’re playing drunk, your character is trying to appear sober. Peter, for the most part, is pretty good at it. He’s had a lot of experience with just getting by. Beau and I talked a lot about Peter, and it was exciting that as the episodes went by I really had the feeling of being able to participate in creating who this character was.
We leave the season with Francis Underwood (Spacey) feeling haunting by Peter’s spirit. Will you return for any cameos?
Unfortunately, I can’t comment on that.
It was headline news recently that you’ve had your pick of roles. How did you decide upon FX’s The Strain?
When you meet Guillermo del Toro, the second you walk into the room you want to work with this guy. He has such insight and enthusiasm for telling stories and for characters. To feel like you’re in good hands in the big picture and in the day to day is really exciting. And FX is a great place to be. Also, we’ll be doing 13 episodes, so that still allows me time to explore other projects.
Emmys Q&A: Vera Farmiga
This story appeared in the June 5 issue of AwardsLine.
Vera Farmiga admits she was skeptical when she first heard about Bates Motel, the series that serves as a modern-day prequel to Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho. But playing a character who was merely an idea in the original source material has proven to be the right role at the right time for her. The Oscar-nominated actress is almost protective in describing Norma as the parent of a mentally ill child, choosing to see the single mother as sympathetic. While the A&E series has been picked up for a second season, Farmiga also will star in July’s The Conjuring, in which she plays a paranormal investigator.
When Bates Motel came to you, were you looking for a TV project specifically?
I think I was looking for a career tweak. I have so many other interests in life, and no role is more challenging, rewarding and inspiring than my real-life role as a mom and a wife, so I pretty much just look at the most remunerative offers these days. (Laughs.) But seriously, if I’m going to step away for 18 hours a day, there better be some sort of a paycheck or spiritual salary being offered. And Bates Motel surprised me. (The role) made me reflect so deeply on the love I feel for my children. I was craving a deeper level of, I don’t know, virtuosity. The writers presented me with this deeper level of sophistication, the creation of Norma, and I pounced on the opportunity. Also, I was craving all that cable serial television has to offer, which is the risk and the wackiness, the unorthodox.
Did you have any misgivings about tackling such an iconic film from an iconic director?
The purist in me was really suspicious. I love that film, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t kind of turned off by the interdependence to Psycho. Upon reading it, I think setting it in the present really liberated it from the confines of the original. And after all, my character is a corpse; she’s a notion. The challenge is portraying her as an individual, rather than this caricature of an evil mother looming over Norman’s superego. In many ways, what I’ve been hired to do by (executive producers) Kerry (Ehrin) and Carlton (Cuse) is to be that criminal defense attorney, to dispute her image as that eternal narcissist who created that emotional damage and harmed her child. Instead, I want to represent a woman who has genuine empathy and who has an unlimited capacity for giving her child unconditional love.
Is it difficult to strike that balance between her being slightly off-kilter and seeming genuinely maternal?
I choose to see her as always being strong, brave, tough, resilient and passionate. Yes, she’s troubled and wrong—and just errant at times—but I only doubt her fundamental morality, like, 1 percent of the time. There are websites that I continually reference for inspiration, and I cannot help but approach this with enormous compassion. There’s no parent that can utter the words “My child has a mental illness” without their spirit completely imploding. There are no clear steps that any parent can take to make their mentally dysfunctional child healthier. But it’s an astounding character setting in that respect.
Now that the show has been renewed for a second season, where do you see that relationship with Norman going?
Other than downstairs in a root cellar? (Laughs.) It’s the great American tragedy, and we know where that story inevitably leads. And it’s grisly. It’s grim. We know that Norman’s going to become some sort of version of the guy in Psycho, and that Norma’s going to become some sort of version of that skeleton with the updo, but how are we going to get there? For me to answer that question, I’d have to divulge a major plot point. It’s like Chopin. It begins and it ends with dissonances, but in between I want to strike all those beautiful chords that make the story so complex.
You directed your first feature film, Higher Ground, last year. Do you have plans to direct again?
I was just asked by Carlton if I wanted to direct an episode, and with a 2- and a 4-year-old, I can’t. I just don’t have the time. To be honest, I still am trying to grasp the tone of Bates. It’s a wonderful thing, and I’m really enjoying it, but I feel like I’m on some rough seas because the tone of this show switches like the wind. It’s only been 10 episodes, so I am still getting to know my character. As far as directing, I do love it. I just haven’t found that story. I’m only comfortable working in the independent film arena for a very small budget where I have creative control and I can put my stamp on it.
You’re turning 40 this year. What do you see that meaning for you as an actress?
Do I care that my birthday cake will look like a small forest fire this August? No. If anyone else is concerned, they can go eff themselves. I transitioned out of youth and beauty roles before my career ever began. The kinds of roles I gravitate toward have become more abundant with age and wrinkles. I’m happier than ever; I’m older than ever.
Emmys Q&A: Mitch Hurwitz
Paul Brownfield is an AwardsLine contributor. This story appeared in the June 12 issue of AwardsLine.
On May 26 at 12:01 a.m., 15 new episodes of Arrested Development went live on Netflix; probably, by 5 a.m., the series’ legions of fans had exhausted the new supply. The cancellation of Arrested by Fox in 2006, after two seasons, prompted an afterlife of rumors and almost-announcements, as series creator Mitch Hurwitz worked on a feature script of his cult series. Like the fans, Hurwitz didn’t want to let go of his extended band of crazies, the Bluths, either. And then Ted Sarandos, Netflix’s chief content officer, suggested resurrecting the show to Imagine Entertainment’s Ron Howard. “And Ron said, ‘That’s a very nice thought, I don’t think it’s ever going to happen,’” Hurwitz explains. Except it did happen.
How different was the process in working with Netflix?
I wasn’t turning scripts in, because of the nature of the thing. We weren’t shooting one a week. We’d shoot pieces of eight different episodes in any given week. We were shooting 12, 14 pages a day, shooting like crazy. We screened it at the premiere—it was the first time an audience had seen it, but it was also the first time I’d seen two (episodes) in a row. I’d just been making them and putting them in the pipeline. And I guess that’s the case usually with television. The difference with this one, though, is that it’s all coming out on the same day. And it will be viewed by some as an eight-hour movie.
Would you have preferred that Netflix do a more gradual roll-out?
I was kind of advocating for a while, how about five a week? And they said, “No, our brand is, we don’t want to chase the traditional things. We don’t chase opening weekends. We want to provide content when people want it, how they want it. We’re a supermarket, not a restaurant.” They didn’t say that, but it’s kind of like that, you know?
Do you care how the episodes are viewed, whether in one sitting or not?
The one thing I really, really, really care about, and it’s just for (the fans’) enjoyment, is that they have to be watched in order. A lot of press got out saying, “Oh, you can watch them in any order.” That was kind of an ambition of mine, and I quickly discovered that the human brain doesn’t work that way. We like stories to have beginnings, middles and ends. It was ambitious, and you try to learn as you go. And what I realized is, particularly with jokes, punchlines are funnier coming after setups. That’s a lot of what we’re doing.
At one point, Showtime was going to resurrect Arrested Development.
What was presented to me was, it’s going to be half the cast, half the fees, half the license fee. At that point it really didn’t make sense to do it. Showtime was great, (but) they didn’t want to spend as much money as we’d spent at Fox, which would have meant paring down the cast and doing a smaller show. And I had never wanted to do that. That had been a longtime struggle, to simplify the show. Not necessarily lose cast members, but, do you have to have a story for every character in every show? I liked the idea of this family all being intertwined.
How was it different writing to a cult audience for a streaming series versus having to worry about ratings on a broadcast or cable network?
Comedy is about an audience. I’ve been working on this for a long time now, so I really had time to go through a lot of the range of what I think people want, the ways in which I want to defy expectation, the ways in which I want to undermine expectation, or reward it. But ultimately it’s all through the filter of my own creativity, obviously. It definitely isn’t pandering. In fact, I did go out of my way to not do the greatest hits. There are some notable absences. But I wouldn’t have done that had I not thought there was a future to this. I have places for things down the road.
Once you got the initial greenlight to create new episodes, did you go out and hire writers?
Because this was still speculative, we did not have the actors’ names on the dotted line. Not because the actors were being recalcitrant or anything, but because they had schedules. They couldn’t just say, “Sure, use me two weeks whenever you want.” Three of my longtime colleagues I brought in: Jim Vallely, Dean Lorey and Richie Rosenstock. I was able to get them to be full-time players, although they still weren’t paid like they would be on a normal show. They had to take a risk too. Then the other people we got as weeklies, and they left. I mean, because we weren’t able to pay competitively what, you know, Community would pay, which is a known quantity, I’d get some of these guys for three weeks and they’d leave. That’s why you see endless names on the credits. Because everybody was there for three weeks and left. (Laughs.) Which almost became harder. I’d have to spend two days just explaining it every time a new writer would come in.
Emmys Q&A: Kat Dennings
After stealing comedic thunder from the goddesses in her 2000 debut as the foul-mouthed Jewish princess Jenny Brier in Sex and the City, Kat Dennings made an impression on the show’s creator, Michael Patrick King. So when King offered Dennings a shot at playing a free-spirited New York waitress in the CBS series 2 Broke Girls, which he cocreated with Whitney Cummings, choosing between film or TV was a little easier for the actress. Kind of a Laverne & Shirley for the millennial set, the series finds Dennings is right at home as Max Black, delivering one-liners in the style of Bea Arthur, Megan Mullally or even Fran Drescher. In fact, since her early teens—and without any acting lessons—Dennings has vamped and deadpanned, a natural talent that’s given her the opportunity to work with director Judd Apatow on The 40-Year-Old Virgin and play a supporting comic-relief role in Marvel’s Thor franchise.
You’ve distinguished yourself as a comedic performer with your deadpan cadence. Did you nurture this over time?
That’s really interesting—I’ve never thought much about that. I guess it’s just how I am. But I know for a fact my older brother Geoffrey is also very much like that. And I worshipped him as a kid, so I give him a little credit.
What was that first Sex and the City audition like?
I was 13 or 14 then, homeschooled, lived in the woods and didn’t have TV. So I had no idea what this show was. (The audition) was six pages of sides; I read it, and Michael said, “Come back tomorrow. Memorized.” And I looked at him, and I was like “Fuck it, I will!” So in the cab on the way back to Penn Station, there was a building covered in the Sex and the City poster, and I thought, “Damn! I just sassed that guy, and this is such a big deal!”
You were joking around?
I was messing with him, but also I was sort of challenging him. Like, “I can do that too.”
Did Michael see you in another project prior to 2 Broke Girls that reminded him of you?
I guess. I’ve never asked. I’ve heard him talk on panels so that’s how I get my information. Maybe Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist?
Tell me about the genesis of 2 Broke Girls.
I think the waitering part and Caroline’s (Beth Behrs) jobs are based on Michael’s experiences. The hoarders episode happened to Michael, as well as the one where we went into this guy’s apartment and found naked pictures of him. The cupcake shop and its demise are based on his sister’s experience. And he loved that as a device, which is really smart.
In discovering Beth Behrs, did they test a number of girls with you?
I was in Florida shooting a really dark film. They called and asked if I could fly back and read, and I’m like, “I’m in Florida. I’m getting raped in a tub. I’m not in a good spot.” And they said, “We get it. Just watch her Funny or Die stuff.” However, they needed to see us together. We got in front of CBS to test, which was one of the most terrifying experiences. I’ve done it a few times. Ninety-five percent of the time no one laughs. You know when you watch those SNL auditions and no one laughs? It’s like that. This was the last step in Beth’s hiring process. Michael loves telling this, but we left that test, and I put my arm around her instinctively.
You were initially inspired by Fran Drescher for your character and then threw that out.
When you start putting someone in the character instead of yourself, it’s muddled. Before we shot the pilot, I was so nervous. It’s a live audience. I watched Jack Black in High Fidelity, and his performance made me feel brave. And I watched The Nanny because she was the only one I could think of who was sort of like that tough Jewish Brooklyn girl. But again, that’s someone else’s character, and I have to develop my own. I kind of ended up imitating my mother because she was a poor girl from Queens who was cool and tough.
Does your delivery of zingers on the show come naturally?
Well, I’ve learned the best way to do it is not to think about it. We’ll get to the show and we’ll do a take, and then the writers rewrite everything. Eighty percent of what airs was given to us the second before we said it. And that’s where they do their best work and gauge what’s funny off the audience. You’re discovering the jokes at the same time as everybody else.
When you read scripts, can you tell the difference between material coming from a male versus a female writer?
Jhoni Marchinko is a legendary sitcom writer, and I can tell her jokes from when she was on Will & Grace. I can tell her flavor on stuff. I mean, Pat (Walsh) and Michael and the male writers are brilliant, but we’re writing for two girls all the time, so having women is essential. Also we have a lot of gay writers, which is a really important voice for our show. It’s just such a perfect melody with all these different instruments.

Broadcast Yourself
The National Science Foundation, the Public Library of Science (PLoS) and the San Diego Supercomputing Center have launched SciVee, a website that allows scientists to upload and share short video lectures with paper outlines. The videos get DOI numbers and it is possible to refer to them as citations in future papers (or videos). Bora from PLoS goes so far to say that "Video is taking over science communication" and that "paper is outdated".
I am a scientist, not a movie star. I don't even like to speak in front of people, and should it one day become necessary to upload videos of myself to assure my chances on the job market, I will quit and maybe write a book titled 'Memoirs of an Outdated Scientist'. Uploading 15 minutes clips that summarize a topic might be nice to get a fast introduction to what might be an otherwise very dry and technical issue. But the success of videos depends greatly on professional support, rhetoric skills and, yes, also on the looks. These are all criteria that I'd rather want to stay out of scientific research. I appreciate attempts to make science more accessible for a broader audience, but when it comes to professional publications, I would not welcome a situation in which videos were taking over papers that I can print and read in bed.
Bottomline: I certainly don't think the paper is outdated.

But Bee, that is very old already. The only difference is that is now being *recorded*.
Besides social capital, being an impressive speaker is a fundamental prerequisite for a successful career in science. Writing papers of good scientific content is just a small detail.

I've always been completely mystified why anyone who doesn't have a serious case of dyslexia would choose to watch a video of someone trying to explain something rather than read it. More and more blogs have postings that largely consist of youtube or other sources of video. The few times I've clicked on the things I've always regretted it, cursing the blog owner for not just putting in words the point they thought people would be interested in. Sometimes you get really lucky and have to sit through an advertisement before getting to the actual video content.
Now, instead of having scientists make short videos explaining what is going on in their paper, a radical proposal would be to encourage them to write this up and put it at the front of the paper. They could call it an "introduction".
"Writing papers of good scientific content is just a small detail."
I am just a poor little graduate student, but I have to ask - Eh?!
Eh?!
Sorry if I sound too pessimistic, but you'll find out. Or perhaps you will be lucky enough *not* to find out.
Ok, so your statement was about the prevailing atmosphere, not your own belief, correct?
I understand that one has to make a very strong case in front of a funding agency, and that this process necessarily involves excellent presentation skills, but how can you justify all that money spent, public attention etc. WITHOUT solid scientific content?!
I have attended enough poorly given talks to know that one's skills as a speaker matter a whole lot. I agree this is a fundamental part of being a scientist, but the basic REASON is for one to contribute actively to useful research...?
I admit I am a little confused. Care to enlighten me? And I should say that any inputs from experienced scientists such as yourself would help me a great deal in my career - prepare me for the future and so forth, so what I have said above is not merely an argument, it is an attempt to learn.
- Poor little grad student
but how can you justify all that money spent, public attention etc. WITHOUT solid scientific content?!
I did not write "without". What I mean is that there are many important elements that count for a successful career. Sometimes you will find out that some of those elements are social in character and eventually end up counting more than pure scientific content. Or maybe not. Do what you think it is right. I wish you good luck. I am sure other people will have more helpful comments to give you.
And yes, my previous comment was supposed to be ironic.

Hi Christine,
But Bee, that is very old already.
Sure. But not in peer review. I am really serious about that. It is obvious that humans are greatly influenced by visual information, even by the sound of a person's voice. I wouldn't approve of authors putting photos on their papers that are being peer-reviewed, and I don't want to promote anything that has a risk of influencing judgement on scientific quality with nonscientific criteria. That might sound harmless at this stage but imagine in the future one gets sent a paper for peer review, and the first reference is a link to the authors video that the referee can access with one click.
E.g. I know about myself that on more than one occasion my opinion about a singer's quality changed considerable after I saw a video of that person, and it turned out I don't like the way he/she looks or moves. That doesn't change anything about their songs, but it influenced me nevertheless.
Hi Peter:
Yes. But videos make things look easily accessible. I guess it leaves people with the hope that there might be a way to avoid the necessarity to think themselves. It might be fine for cooking recipes, but I don't think this is a very good development in science.
Paolo Amoroso 3:16 PM, August 31, 2007
This kind of communication has potential, especially for public outreach. But right now, the videos mostly look like conference talks (possibly equally boring).
There's another problem. Written English is orders of magnitude easier to understand than spoken English for non-native speakers.
Neil Bates 7:52 PM, August 31, 2007
This sounds very cool, and what I'd like to know is: how do they screen the submissions? I mean, more by who sent it from where, or how well it looks, etc? Do you need a sponsor, like ArXiv? etc. thanks
barbara 11:36 AM, September 01, 2007
I actually think that being able to give good talks and lectures is important, and that your looks are irrelevant for that.
Peer reviewing videos seems pointless, but I tend to learn more on first exposure to a topic from a lecture than from a book. So, we are not all alike.
paolo amoroso: I find that spoken english is easy to understand, so long as the speaker's native language is not english :-).

Dear Christine,
Thanks very much. My apologies - didn't realize your comment was supposed to be ironic, but I see what you mean, since I see senior colleagues say the same thing.

Well, video is not supposed to replace text, just to add to it. Having everything on paper restricts what one can put in a paper. Having everything online allows for the use of additional methods of conveying information. For instance, one can put up all of the raw data for other people to mine and analyze. Or, one can put up a video.
If you go back to SciVee.com, you will see that the second video that was uploaded is NOT an example of the author summarizing the Abstract, but is a video that shows the apparatus used in the experiment (something that words cannot describe) and shows the animal behavior that was measured in the experiment (also something that words cannot describe). If a picture is worth a 1000 words, then a video can be, in some instances, worth a 100000000 words.

Hi Eastraven:
actually think that being able to give good talks and lectures is important, and that your looks are irrelevant for that.
Sure. But if you give bad talks, then your looks might become relevant ;-)
Sure. Videos can be useful in some regards. What I tried to point out is that a video is an entertaining, and more easily accessible source than reading a paper with many equations. If it becomes common to add a brief video clip as a link to a paper, that contains a summary/introduction/conclusion of a research program, those who don't do so will have a disadvantage. As I have mentioned above, making a good video depends on many factors that don't actually have anything to do with the scientific value of somebodies research. I'm just asking for caution that this doesn't happen.
Regarding language: if somebody's English is *really* bad, more equations usually help to understand what he's doing.
Hi Bora:
Videos can definitely have advantages, and yes, visual information can be helpful. What I am worried about is the presently very obvious tendency to advertise scientific work in all manners possible. Now I imagine some scientists working in an Institute where money is not an issue. They can easily get all kinds of professional support for making cool and hip and great looking videos. And then there's the guy sitting in central Iowa with his digital camera in an small office with bad light, you PICTURE it?
See, I really appreciate the possibility, and I definitely think it can be very interesting - and is a great idea to make science more accessible for a wider public. I am just afraid that it might in some cases not be beneficial for neutrality and objective judgement on scientific work, and wanted to mention that concern of mine. One can probably circumvent possible 'side-effects', like maybe uploading videos only about work that is not (or no longer) in a peer review process? Best,
There is always the podcasting option.... no need to show anything but a voice.

5.1 Recommendation
Inflation has been a problem; many countries of the world have been experiencing especially the developing countries. It started during the early 60’s, which results to the incorporation of economic policies as a measure to reduce the effect of the inflation in the economy, and most of these measure taken by developing countries to check the problem of inflation are in the form of the use of central bank instrument of credit control. This is aimed at reducing the volume of money in circulation and maintaining it to ensure low cost of living.
Nigeria as other developing countries is also faced with the problem of inflation. In Nigeria, inflation has been a problem for policy makers since the 1970’s and ever since then to date the rate of inflation is on the increase.
In defining what inflation is various perspectives from different economists are as follows:
1) The system whereby too much money is chasing too few goods.
2) Whereby there is a fall in the purchasing power of money.
3) Where there is an increase in the amount of money in circulation.
4) Where there is an excess of wages claims over productivity growth.
For the purpose of this study inflation is defined according to Ben Chukwuemeka Anibueze Banking practice volume three as “a sustained rise in the general level of prices of most goods and services”. That is to say that there is always an increase in price without fluctuation.
The supply of money would be affected due to increment in wages salaries especially if there is no increment in productivity and also increment in petroleum pump price, which the federal government has initiated, can also result to inflation.
Also, government expenditure can create or increase the rate of inflation. This is due to some unavoidable government consumption expenditure on the economy.
The central bank of Nigeria has tried to regulate the liquidity position in the economy through its credit guidelines some of which are:
a) Control of the rate of expansion of commercial and merchant banks aggregate loans and advances.
b) Guide the banks in channeling their credit to different sectors of the economy.
c) Regulate the banks lending into a view to ensure that they exercise prudence in their granting loans and advance.
These guidelines help in regulation of expansion of money circulation, thereby controlling inflation in the economy.
1.2 PROBLEM OF THE STUDY
The central bank of Nigeria being the apex bank is empowered with the responsibility of formulating and executing monetary policy in Nigeria. There are many objectives behind the formulation of monetary policy, which varies with time and places. In Nigeria they stand as:
a) Maintenance of confidence in Nigerian currency through measures to stabilize domestic wages and prices.
b) Support for increasing levels of agricultural and industrial output.
c) Effective arrangement for supplementing current government expenditure and for providing development finance.
The central bank of Nigeria was established by the act of 1958 and empowered to use certain monetary control instruments available to it. With these instruments of credit control, cash and liquidity ratios are being regulated.
The central bank of Nigeria can also reduce liquidity by compelling government and it parastatals to withdraw all their deposit from merchant and commercial banks and deposit some with the central bank. This will help in checking inflationary rate in the economy.
The objective of this work is to explore into the hindrance of against effective measures undertaken to curtail the rate of inflation in Nigeria.
To determine the effectiveness of the use of various instrument of credit control employed by the central bank of Nigeria to check the volume of credit creation in difference sector of the economy.
To ascertain why inflationary rate still seems uncontrollable undermining all the measures that has been taken to reduce it at least to a certain level.
To identify these problems and make necessary recommendations on how to improve employment in order to control inflation in the country.
This study will help in policy making and investment. It will also serve as a guide to monetary authorities on how to control inflation through the use of instruments of credit control in the country.
After identifying the problems, it would also help federal government and central bank of Nigeria in allocating resources to different sectors of the economy by checking its expenditures.
Banks would benefit from the study in solving their credit creation problem, which is a constraint to the profit making abilities in most banks.
In order for one to understand this work easily, there are certain terms one needs to know. These includes:
1. CREDIT
Credit is referred to as money, which banks gives to customers in the form of loan and overdraft
2. LOAN
This is the system whereby a bank borrows out or lends money to his customer, which will be paid back on specified time with interest.
3. OVERDRAFT
This is a situation whereby a customer with current account is allowed to withdraw money more than he has in his account.
This is a situation whereby there is continuous increase in the general level of prices of goods and services.
5. MONETARY AUTHORITY
This is the institution that is charged with the responsibility of controlling the supply of money. The central bank of Nigeria (CBN) and federal government are responsible for this.

Belmont High School Oval “Dirt” Track
On May 31, 2009 By kingofpotsIn Insights, Jogging, Places to Run, Practice Runs, Runners' Training, Running4 Comments
Belmont High School is two blocks away from home and this is where I do my active recovery runs and speed runs for the duration of my “rest/vacation” here in Los Angeles, and this will be my “ULTRA Oval Track”. What is good about this track is that it is made from the ordinary soil from the desert of California. It is a “dirt” oval track which is the same texture of soil that you see along the mountail trails and fire roads in the mountains here. However, it is better to run on the dirt/soil rather than running in an asphalt or concrete road. What is bad about the “dirt” track is that your shoes would easily become dirty because of the dust that stick on every part of your shoes to include the socks. I like running in this kind of track, whether I use my trail shoes or my training shoes as if I am running along the mountain trails. I usually use my TNF Arnuva 50 BOA when I run along this track because I could feel and hear the “crashing” sound of the shoes pounding on the sandy soil and my feet are more responsive to the ground.
I did a 35-minute recovery run a day after the Los Angeles Marathon and I was doing 80% of my effort with an average pace of 5:40 minutes per kilometer and an average heart rate of 144 bpm.
On the following day, I did another 30-minute slow run at my 70% of my total effort with an average pace of 6:50 minutes per kilometer and an average heart rate of 135 bpm. However, after the slow run, I tried to do some “speed” intervals every lap just to measure the distance of the oval track with a rest/recovery of one minute. I did 4 X 400 meters with an average pace of 1:52 minutes per kilometer and the oval has a distance of 408 meters at the inner edge. I had an average of heart rate of 152 bpm. The dirt oval track has no designated lane number. After the intervals, I slowly jogged to the house and did my post stretching exercises.

High School Students Are Fast Runners Because of The Oval Track
I don’t know if all the runner-bloggers in the Philippines has a copy of the June 2009 issue of the Runner’s World Magazine. It would be nice if all of our runners, most expecially the beginners, has the chance to read the said magazine. In pages 65-69, the author of the article “Get On Track”, Erin Strout, has made a very good and very detailed presentation on everything a runner would know about an Oval Track from the definitions of terms on “speed” training, rules in using the oval, how to train at the oval, and workouts you can do. What is very important in this article is a pictorial/drawing of the oval with the RULES TO BE FOLLOWED. There is a Survey made with the question, “What’s your pet peeve on the track?” and the number one in the survey is, “Walkers In Lane One”. Very true! Everywhere not only at the ULTRA Oval Track!
Because of the overcast sky since Sunday and with a low temperature in the early morning, I usually do my running workouts at 10:00 AM when the clouds start to open up. I will have a one-day rest and resume my long runs this weekend.
Yes, I am preparing for the MILO Marathon Eliminations!

My Kids’ LA Marathon Results
On May 29, 2009 June 1, 2009 By kingofpotsIn Insights, Jogging, Marathon Race, Race Results, Races, Running3 Comments
John Paul finished the 2009 LA Marathon Race in 4:40:07 hours with an average pace of 10:41.2 minutes per mile. He finished # 3,874 place among the 14, 204 Finishers; making him # 3, 087 out of the 9, 011 Male Finishers. Within his age category of 30-34 years old, he placed # 421 out of 1,006 runners. As compared from his Inaugural Pasadena Marathon, he was able to improve him finish time due to an accident that happened to him at the middle of the race where he had to walk and limp to the Finish Line. As compared to his time in the 2008 Los Angeles Marathon which was 4:55:14 hours, he was able to improve his time by 15 minutes. Although he was not able to put miles in his training due to the pressure of his work, he was able to finish the race with a decent time.
Jovelle was the happiest among us because she was able to improve her time with a faster finish time. In her previous LA Marathon Races, she would finish along the borderline of 5 & 6 hours and sometimes more than 6 hours, however, in last year’s San Francisco Marathon, she was able to finish the hilly race in 5:41:28 hours. In last Monday’s Los Angeles Marathon, she was able to finish the race in 5:03:43 hours. If only she did not stop and fall in line to use the portalet along the way…and drank some beer along the last few miles, she could have been within the sub-5 hour finish time. She attributed her improvement by almost 38 minutes with her increased weekly mileage up to 40-45 miles. I told her to strengthen her legs some more before she would introduce “speed” training to her training so that she will not experience any injury.
Jovelle’s finish time registered an average pace of 11:35.2 minutes per mile. She placed # 5,593 out of 14,203 runners who finished the race. She placed # 1,312 out of the 5,193 female finishers. In her age category of 25-29 years old, she placed # 239 out of the 716 female finishers.
John Paul & Jovelle are continously training again and they are registered to run the 2009 San Francisco Marathon which will be held on 26th July 2009. It will be their second time to join this race. Moreover, they are planning to join their first Bulldog 25K Trail Run this coming August.
I guess, I am really a “bad” influence to my kids!

What if there is death of a runner during a road/trail race in the Philippines?
During our Summer Training in Fort Magsaysay, Palayan City in 1971 while I was a first year cadet of the Philippine Military Academy (and about to become a sophomore), two of my classmates died while they were about to finish a 10-km road race. The reason for their death was due to “heat stroke” as there were no water stations along the route and worse, the race started late in the morning when the sun was up already on the horizon. The worse conditions of my classmates were compounded when the medical personnel at the camp’s hospital did not know how to cure or treat them as they showed symptoms of “heat stroke”.
I did not know if there was a thorough investigation conducted by my Tactical Officers and Commandant of Cadets at that time after the said incident. I really wanted to find out from the records of the Philippine Military Academy if there was any investigation conducted on the death of my classmates when I had the opportunity to be assigned there as the Head of the Intelligence and Security Department. But because of more pressing work that time (after the EDSA Revolt of 1986) and many security incidents that happened in the Academy, I was not able to have the time to deal on this case.
I could still relate in details what really happened to my two classmates on the day of the race as I was one of the roving “water boys” along the route. Maybe, I could write about my two classmates’ (Cadets Dollente & Llorono) ordeal as I saw them when they were suffering from “heat stroke” during the race and recall also the irresponsible acts and ignorance of the medical personnel who tried to cure and bring their body systems to normal condition. But that will be another story!
Let me go back to the topic on hand. Let me post this question and try to suggest or predict the reaction or action of everybody or the public. What if there is a death of a runner during or after a road race in the Philippines? Such death might be caused by “heat stroke”, “heart failure” of a runner, or an accident with any vehicle crossing the runners’ route, or due to anything you can think of.
The following will be my predictions of actions to be made by the Race Organizer and by the public:
1. As the Race Organizer and/or Race Director, he will see to it that he had done his best to give the outmost attention to the victim or runner by making sure that he would be brought immediately to the nearest hospital. If death to the runner occurs, he will say that he does not have any liability to the person because the runner signed a “waiver”. End of the story with regards to the responsibility of the RO/RD of the race!
2. Runner-Bloggers will have one or two weeks writing about the said incident.
3. The death incident will surely land on the Front Pages of broadsheets and not in the Sports Pages. It will also appear at TV PATROL, SAKSI, SOCO (?), and maybe, (who knows?) at ANC’s STRICTLY POLITICS & Carandang’s Reports (?).
4. A Senator or Congressman will deliver a “privilege speech” at the Senate/House of Representatives and maybe, just maybe, condeming the runner for not training properly, lambasting on the Road Organizer for not providing enough water and water cups to the runners and for the responsibility of scheduling a road race during hotter/summer months, and others..
5. This will end up with a Senate Hearing in “Aid of Legislation” and come up with a Bill to oversee the conduct of Road Races in the country. Of course, this investigation will be a nice “exposure” to those who have intentions of being elected to a higher office or for “name recall” purposes. (Note: I am not sure if I will be (again!) invited to these Senate & Congressional hearings as a Resource Person! ha! ha! ha!)
6. The running community will come up with a “Run For A Cause” to support the bereaved family of the runner. Or the running community will donate their share of some support to the family and children of the runner. Who knows his kids might be given educational scholarship and even employment by supportive corporations who have runners as their owners/executives? Better if the bereaved family will be made as guests at the noon time program “Wowowee”!
7. A “smart” Road Organizer or Corporate Sponsor might come up with a Road Race annually to honor the death of the runner and the proceeds will go to the Charity or Foundation in the name of the dead runner.
8. I am sure lesser number of runners will be joining the road races for some time but it will pick-up again after few months.
9. One of the Streets at The Fort will be named after the dead runner.
10. This incident will be a “wake-up call” to all Race Organizers to improve their services to the running community and not from the complaints, critiques and rants from the runner-bloggers.
11. A Blog will be created by a runner in the name of the dead runner to remind beginners and other runners to train properly and for the race organizers to provide the necessary logistical services and support to the running community during races.
12. Every road race will be made to have an insurance policy to cover every runner in a race or an enterprising insurance company will open an insurance policy plan exclusively for runners.
The items I mentioned above are my personal predictions or you might call my personal opinion just in case we have a death of a runner now that running is very popular in the country. I may be corny and sarcastic about this issue but we have to deal with such reality as many runners, whether they are beginners. competitors and even elite athletes have died in the past in the United States and other countries (to include an author of a running book that inspired more of the Americans to run in the 70s & 80s). Our Race Organizers/Race Directors will never learn their lessons and their logistics “lapses” to the runners not until something of catastrophic incident will happen to the running community during our weekly races.
Now, let me hear your views about this issue.
Race Report: XXIV Los Angeles Marathon
On May 26, 2009 May 27, 2009 By kingofpotsIn Insights, Jogging, Marathon Race, Pictures, Running49 Comments
7:31 AM 25 May 2009 @ Figueroa Street & 6th Street, Los Angeles, California
Most of my friends and readers were surprised to know that I ran the BOTAK 42K Marathon Race last 10 May knowing that I have the Los Angeles Marathon scheduled on my list of Road Races to participate into after 14 days of recovery. They don’t know that I was not serious to exert much of my effort in the BOTAK Run and I treated it as my long run in preparation for the bigger event which is the Los Angeles Marathon. Aside from that reason, I had predicted that the BOTAK 42 would be a failure in its administrative, technical, and logistics support for the runners by just looking at their race route. And I was right! The race was a failure in terms of a standard and well-organized Marathon Race but I accomplished what I intended to be attained–to make this race as my “long run” before tapering off for the LA Marathon.
At my age, who would dare to run two (2) Marathon Races in one month with 14 days in between? Hmm…I think it’s only the Bald Runner! (and my Ultramarathon runner-friends) Ha! Ha! Ha! This was the reason why I did not register for the TNF 100 Solo Run—I was already registered to run the LA Marathon way back during the last week of January 2009 (when TNF was not yet decided to conduct the said race!). And this point/issue shows a big difference of the major races done in other countries as compared to the schedule of races that we have in the Philippines. Major races in the USA are scheduled one year ahead while most of our major races are “knee-jerk” running activities where you have at least 2-3 months as lead time. I am sorry but this is the reason why the 2nd Bataan 102K Ultramarathon Race is already scheduled on March 5-6 next year and it will never be postponed.
Running the LA Marathon was a dream to me since its creation, 24 years ago. A year after the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games, the LA Marathon was born and I had been a spectator on this event whenever I was here for a vacation. Traditionally, the LA Marathon was held on the month of March but I usually come over here during the months of June or December but there are times when my December vacation would be postponed to January or February and I would stay up to the day of the LA Marathon. So, there was no chance for me to seriously consider running this marathon. The original route of the race, to include the 1984 Olympic Marathon, was 2 street blocks away from our place and I was just contented to watch the elite runners and other competitive runners passed along Sunset Boulevard.
Due to the change of ownership of the LA Marathon last year, it was decided that the March schedule was changed to the month of May. There had been a lot of debates and arguments about such change but the owner’s decision prevailed and had it scheduled on Memorial Day to honor their dead heroes and other soldiers who died in the line of duty, most especially those who are assigned across the seas. And so, my kids and I planned to run together again in a marathon race just like what we did last August 2008 in the San Francisco Marathon as early as January this year.
After I have acclimatized for one week since I arrived last 17 May by running under the cold and hot conditions in LA, I knew I was ready for the race. We woke up at 5:00 AM this morning and I did the usual “ritual” everytime I join a marathon race (except taking the Immodium tabs)…hot coffee, instant oatmeal, cereal with milk, hard-boiled eggs, and bananas. Shaved, took a shower, apply petroleum jelly on my feet, inner upper arms, and upper inner legs/groin part, tied the D-Tag on my shoe lace, and wore my running kit with my bib. We were out of the house at 6:40 AM and walked about 2 kilometers to the Starting Line.
Our Picture Before Leaving The House
The Runners & Starting Area Crowd
I was amazed to see a lot of runners, more than the runners I saw in last year’s San Francisco Marathon. Almost a distance of 200 meters from the Starting Line up to the back was filled with runners and walkers. We immediately positioned ourselves about 100 meters from the Starting Line as more runners were packed like sardines in the front areas. After the singing of the Star-Spangled Banner, which could hardly be heard in our position, was sang by a choir and it was followed by a Prayer. The speech of the City Mayor followed and it ended with the blowing of the horn which officially started the race. The race started at 7:31 AM, a delay of 11 minutes from the scheduled time of start.
More Runners At The Cross Streets
Jovelle's 4th Marathon & Jonh Paul's 7th Marathon
The weather was cool with a prevailing temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit and there was an overcast sky. It was a perfect weather for a marathon race! We started to walk towards the Starting Line as the runners at the front started to run and vacate the space where they were waiting before the race started. Even if we occupied the whole wide Figueroa Street, the runners were still shoulder-to-shoulder and tightly could not run or move faster. It took us almost 5 minutes and 35 seconds to finally cross the ChronoTrack Timing sensor at the Starting Line which activates our D-Tags tield on our running shoes and I simultaneously pressed the Start Button of my GF 305. My watch cooperated this time as I deleted some of the data stored in it and made sure that it was fully charged.
Finally, We Were Moving Towards The Starting Line
Mile 1
The whole stretch of Figueroa St going south covers the whole first mile and succeeding miles of the race. My pace was a slow one as the runners were still closely near with each other. I was forced to slow down because of the situation and I maintained my pace and imagined it as my warm-up run. I had to make a zigzag moves to prevent from bumping on some walkers who were mixed with the runners and who were located infront of us. I finished the first mile in 10:20 minutes and I panicked because it was a very slow pace for me. I started to calculate my finish time by making an average pace of 10 minutes per mile and I assumed that I could finish the race in 260 minutes or 4:20+ hours! I wanted to finish the race with a faster time than that! A group of Japanese drummers would fill the air with noise and rythmic beat as we reached the Staples Center. And that was the start of a festive and noisy environment along the route.
Big Drums on the 1st Mile
The roads along the route were completely asphalted roads and it is more comfortable to run with it than running on a concrete road. At this portion, the runners are still tight and there is a lack of space where I could overtake the runners infront of me. I just took my patience and slowly increased my pace as the road is slightly downhill and flat. You could see a lot of people along the sidewalk cheering the runners and the LA Police and other security units would be around to see to it that all runners are protected. The runners practically owned the whole street and there were no vehicular traffic crossing the street where were are. We are still along Figueroa Street and as I approached the end of mile 2, I could see that I have gained some speed and was able to shave off at least 30 seconds. I registered an average pace of 6:15 minutes per kilometer, a 9:00+ minutes per mile pace.
Mile Marker/Banner On Top Of The Runners
We are still along the Figueroa Street and I could see the entrance to the LA Olympic Stadium at my right and later I could see the stainless steel markings of the Exposition Park. The crowd of runners is slowly loosening and I was able to increase my pace. This is the part that I started to perspire but the cold air that is meeting us would slowly dry up my sweat. This is where I started to overtake more runners—some are teen-agers, lady runners, male runners older than my age, and US Armed Forces Veterans carrying the US Flag. Along this portion, I started to feel the urge to urinate as I drank a lot of water before leaving the house. I controlled it as the portalets along the way have a long line of runners waiting for their turn. Despite this situation, I had to drink water and Gatorade in every hydration station. I started to take in my first regular GU Sports Gel as I carried with me 2 regular GU and 3 GU Roctane and a pack of Cliff Shots (Chewable Electrolyte Source). My TNF Racing Shorts was equipped with side & back pockets where my ration was stashed. My right hand was holding my SONY Cybershot Digital Camera wrapped in a Ziplock Bag to prevent my sweat from going to the camera. I was able to shave off another 30 seconds from my average pace.
A US Armed Forces Veteran & Marathon Runner
Mile 4-6
From the wide road of Figueroa, we turned right to a narrow road where there is a construction on the opposite side of the road. Even if it was a narrow, the space in between runners became bigger and had more chance to overtake a lot of runners. And then suddenly, after a series of turns, the first uphill climb would appear infront of the runners. I didn’t panic as I increased my pace by taking shorter and faster strides as I run through the uphill climb. I had to overtake more runners along this portion. After the climb, it was downhill and I was back on my usual stride and had to make my leg turn-over faster. I was registering a faster pace this time.
Mile 7-10
More spectators would cheer the runners by shouting, “You can do it”; “Looking good”; Runners! Go! Go! Go!; “Bald Runner, Wohoo”. Yes, a lady who was giving Gatorade drinks to the runners, saw my race bib and shouted those cheers! I guess, there were at least five people who saw my race bib and shouted “Bald Runner”. There was a mixture of Rock and Roll Bands and Mariarchis (Mexican Band) along the route and it was a delight to hear live music from these volunteers/spectators. As we passed along the Residential Areas, I saw the residents cheering and shouting to the runners. They even have banners and posters where they wrote greetings to the runners. Others would have their “coolers”/ice chests with them and gave cold bottled water and soda/sports drinks to runners who are in need. Wow, this is unbelievable. The whole community treated the Marathon Race as a festival with music, cheering, and drinks ligned up along the route and each of the resident-volunteers showed some hospitality to the runners. I had a steady pace along this portion as I passed more runners along the way.
Mile 11-14
Finally, I could no longer hold my urinary bladder and made a “bold” move on the ligned 6 portalets on the right side of the road. Instead of waiting on the line of runners standing infront of each portalet unit, I immediately went at the back of the portalets and relieved myself with my urine dropping at the grass. Another two white runners would follow me and relieved themselves, too! One guy would say, “Hey, that was a smart move’! I answered, “yes! the grass on the sidewalk needs some fertilizer” and both of us laughed. As I approached the 13.1 mile mark, there was a “carpet” for the RFID timing system that triggers my D-Tag to register my half-marathon split time and passed through it while checking at my GF 305. I saw that my watch registered a time of 2:03 hours and I panicked (again!). I wanted to have a finish time of sub-4 hours on this marathon race. I was already calculating to have a finish time of breaking the 4-hour limit but I recalled that the second half would be a harder task for me because the route is uphill up to the finish line. I tried to increase my pace by “shuffling” and counting the number of strides per minute and made the counting as my running “mantra”.
The distance in between runners would stretch at this part as some would be seen walking, other would be seen stretching their calves and legs along the sidewalk, and most of the runners would walk while drinking their water or Gatorade drinks. This part is really the hardest as more uphill climbs would challenge the runners. There was some relief for the downhill but it would take the runners for another uphill climb again. It was a roller coaster at this part. Volunteers along the route would ask each runner if they feel pain and they would spray Salonpas liquid on the parts where the runner would feel pain. Other volunteers would offer Vaseline Ointment or Petroleum Jelly for those who have problems on “chaffing”. Other volunteers would offere sliced fresh oranges and bananas, and sometimes candies. There is also a hydration point where volunteers would offer “ice cold beer” to the runners. I could just imagine if any of the volunteers in the Philippines would offer this kind of hydration to our runners. I am sure the Filipino runners would ask for the “pulutan” that goes with the “ice cold beer”! Ha! Ha! Ha! At this point, a familiar face overtook me and it was a 7-time Badwater Ultramarathon runner-finisher who was introduced to me by Joe Matias of the A Runners Circle Running Store (I forgot his name!). I would make him as my “target/benchmark” as we had a “see-saw” race on this portion of the route. He is a tall runner and he is fast.
The 7-Time Badwater Ultramarathon Finisher Infront of Me
I was surprised when one of the spectators shouted “Manny Pacquiao” when I passed him. Hmmm..I think he means that I am a Filipino! More cheers, more rock bands, more fruits and water along the way. I took my 2nd regular GU at Mile 6 and then started to take my 1st GU Roctane at Mile 10; my second Roctane at Mile 16; and my last one at Mile 22 which would carry me up to the finish line. The Cliff Shots were mostly taken from Mile 16 to Mile 24. At this point, I don’t feel any pain on my legs except for some slight pain on my left knee cap which disappears whenever I shift to my “shuffling” mode with faster frequency of strides. I really do not bend my knees when doing my “shuffling” and only lift my feet a few inches from the ground and I gain more speed and grounds by doing this and I would be relieved from the pain. It was still a slight uphill along the route. One of the volunteers would shout to the runners, “Dude, you have less than 10K run to go, the Finish Line is near”. Yes, dude, it is easy to say that if you are not running!
An Uphill Climb With The Runners Walking On mY Back
I managed to overtake more runners as these runners were positioned at the front before the start of the race. They are walking and some are having cramps. Others would run quickly to overtake and then stop and walk. The Badwater Ultramarathon runner would eventually build a considerable distance between us and he was able to position himself at least 300 meters ahead of me. He is the only runner who overtook me from the start of the marathon race at this point. As I was approaching Mile 25, I noticed a loud steps of a runner on my left who was about to overtake me and to my surprise, it was Dean Karnazes in person! I tried to keep up with his pace for about 800 meters and I greeted him and told him that I am the “Bald Runner”. He offered his hand and we had a handshake and started a conversation by asking him about his TNF 100 Australia experience. He told me that the TNF 100 was fine and challenging and I told him that the TNF 100 Philippines was held last weekend. I asked him if he is joining the upcoming San Diego 100-Mile Endurance Run and he said that he’ll not join the ultra running event as he will be running the San Diego “Rock & Roll” Marathon next Sunday. I checked on my GF 305 average pace while I was running with him and it registered a 5:00-minute per kilometer pace! I tried to keep up with his pace and I slowly faded with his blistering speed/pace as we are approaching the last 300 meters to the Mile 26 marker. It was my fourth encounter with the famous Karno since I met him at Badwater last July 2008. Dean Karnazes was the 2nd guy who overtook me during the duration of the race! In summary, those guys who overtook me were two (2) elite ultramarathon runners who are much younger than me.

As I reached the Finish Line, I stopped my GF 305 and saw the readings on the digital clock with a time of 4:13:02 hours. My GF 305 registered a time of 4:07:35 hours and my official Finish Time (Chip time) is 4:07:33 hours as posted on the Official Results. Not bad! If not for the heavy traffic of runners at the first half and the difficulty of the terrain on the second half, I could have reached the finish line in less than 4 hours. Anyway, it will be one of my objectives to improve my finish time in the coming days in preparation for the Milo Elimination Marathon Run on the first week of July.
Based from the Official Results, I placed #1,902 out of 14,185 finishers; # 1,630 out of 9,011 Male runners; and placed #47 out of the runners in my Age Category 55-59 years old. I registered an average pace of 9:26.6 minutes per mile.
In my GF 305, I registered an average pace of 5:48 minutes per kilometer and an average heart rate of 154 beats per minute. As for the distance, my watch registered a distance of 42.68 kilometers. I could have ran an extra distance of 500 meters!

Assessment & Conclusion
It was a blast and fun to experience running a marathon with almost 14,000 participants where infront and at your back is a “sea of runners”. The cooperation of the whole community and the support of the volunteers are awesome and phenomenal which is hardly experienced in the Philippines. What surprises me now is the fact that there are high-ranking influential and rich personalities in our society (they are in government service and some are in the corporate world) whose feats and finishes in international marathon races (like New York & Boston) for the past months and years had been published in the newspapers with their pictures on the front pages of our daily broad sheets but I don’t feel or see or heard from them any actions or initiatives to raise the bar or standards of helping or supporting our running events (especially an International Marathon Race in Manila) in the country which could attract international runners. You know already as to whom I am referring to. Kailan kaya tutulong ang mga ito? Kinakailangan bang maki-usap at lumuhod tayo sa kanila para tutulong at gagalaw sila?
As an advise to the hardcore runners and competitive ones who want to experience a memorable and “complaint-free” Marathon Race, save some money and travel to the United States and select one of the marathon events held in the cities along the Pacific States or in Hawaii. You can also try the New York Marathon or to any other marathon events in the USA where you are comfortable (where you have a relative who can support you in terms of accommodation and transportation). Once you experience joining one of the Marathon Races in the US, then you will know what I am talking about. Guys, forget Hongkong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and other Asian city’s Marathon races, go to the USA and you will never regret it.
Lastly, I consider the XXIV Los Angeles Marathon a “perfect” marathon event.

D-12 Hours: XXIV LA Marathon
On May 25, 2009 May 25, 2009 By kingofpotsIn Marathon Race, Pictures, Races, Running13 Comments
7:00 PM 24 May 2009
In 12 Hours I will be joining my first Los Angeles Marathon. After this LA City Marathon had been conceived two decades ago, this will be the first chance that I’ll be running the famous marathon event in the western side of the USA. The LA Marathon was usually held on the month of March for the past years but because of reasons I don’t know, the new owners/management of this marathon event had it done on the celebration of Memorial Day for the whole USA.
Few hours ago, Dean Karnazes aka Ultramarathon Man arrived, on foot, at the LA Marathon Exposition for a brief Lecture and Book Signing which is being held at the LA Convention Center. Dean K started to run 100 miles from Santa Barbara, California and arrived at the LA Convention Center with a lot of runners waiting for him. After sleeping tonight, he will be joining the rest of the participants for the 7:20AM start tomorrow.
I will let the pictures do the explanation on my preparation for this event.

43rd Mt Wilson Trail Race
On May 24, 2009 By kingofpotsIn Pictures, Races, Running, Trail Running4 Comments
7:20 AM 23 May 2009 @ Sierra Madre, California (The 2nd Oldest Trail Race in the USA)
Last September 2008, I had a chance to run at the Mt Wilson Trail from Sierra Madre up to its peak and back to where we started with my son, John and then for the second time, with John, Jovelle, & Bryan. It was a memorable experience as it gave a challenge to all of us. Through this experience running along this trail, I found out that there is a yearly trail race event every month of May.
Actually, I’ve recalled this event when I was trying to browse for a trail race where I could register and run while I am here in California since last month. Due to its proximity to the Los Angeles Marathon’s race day, I opted not to register in this race and tried to look for another ultra trail race where I could join after the marathon. Finally, I thought of planning to go to Sierra Made for me to observe the race.

The Race Starts! (JJ Timphony in Race Bib #1)
A View of the 1st 1/2 Mile of the Race Before Going To The Trail
This morning, together with my son, John, we went to Sierra Madre to witness the start and finish of the 43rd Mt Wilson Trail Race. A few seconds before the race started, I was already on the sidelines taking pictures to the runners. At exactly 7:20 AM, as scheduled, the race started after a brief ceremony and briefing to the runners. After ten minutes, the race for the kids started and it was finished before the trail runners arrived. This is what I like with the races here, they start promptly on the scheduled start time of the race.
The Race For The Kids Starts!

The Kids Approaching the Finish Line
This Kid Kept On Going Back On the Road After Crossing The Tape At The Finish Line
The Mt Wilson Trail Race started at the commercial center of Sierra Madre with the participation of 328 runners. It was a small race but the whole community was involved in the event. The youngest runner is a 10-year old boy and the oldest is 71 years old. The race is one of the attractions of Sierra Madre and most of the volunteers are senior citizens living in the area. It is a very organized race with the appropriate and adequate water stations along the trail. There were lots of food—fresh fruits, bread, pretzels and sports drinks at the finish area which were distributed by the volunteers to each finisher. The race is a 4.3 mile going up to the Orchard Place at Mt Wilson and another 4.3 miles in going down towards the Finish Line. Last year’s 1st place finish time was 1:01:53 hours.
Arrival of the 1st Runner to Reach The Finish Line
James "Jay-Jay"Timphony (Race Bib #1) Finished The Race in 1:00:35 Hours
I waited for the top 3 runners to arrive and I could see how strong the runners are. I observed that these top runners were using ordinary running shoes and nobody among these tops runners were using those sophisticated trail shoes. They are just being practical because they are running on loose soil, rocks, and small rocks and most of all, there was no rain.
I was also impressed how the children could run with or without their parent’s assistance during the kid’s race. Each of these kids really enjoyed crossing the tape at the finish line and I observed some of them would return on the road and experience crossing the tape for another round. These kids ran a distance of less than one mile. Very athletic and strong kids!
I had also a chance to inspect and observe the technical people at the finish line. The Emcee (a lady) kept on updating the status of the race from start up to the finish and I guess, she did not stop talking up to the awarding ceremony. The Emcee would tell to the crowd where the first/second/third runners and also the first lady runner are located along the route at a certain time. She gives the update every five minutes! There were no entertainers or singers during the event! I have also a chance to inspect the timing and digital clock devices. I observed that there were only 3 people involved in the timing system—one is operating a laptop computer and the other two guys were operating the digital clocks and the RFID system by ChronoTrack by checking these equipment if they are working. I suspect that these two guys are Filipinos but I did not dare to talk to them. I found out later that these people belong to one of the biggest road racing event companies in the USA/California. By observing how the race was going on, I was able to get some ideas which I think our Race Organizers/Race Directors in the Philippines should know and be able to apply in order to raise the quality of our road races. I would personally suggest to these Race Organizers in Metro Manila to spend some time to go abroad and observe how races in other countries are managed. The race results were posted on the website of the Race Event Organizer after 3 Hours reckoned from the time the race started.
The first runner, James Timphony, who happens to be the defending champion, on the said race arrived at the finish line with a time of 1:00:35 hours and he was able to improve his time last year by 1:18 minutes. He is 21 years old. The second runner arrived after 2 minutes and he is 35 years old. After almost ten runners had arrived at the finish line, my son and I left Sierra Madre for another appointment for the day. (Note: Because of the D-Tags tied on the shoes of each runner, the finishers were not wearing “strings/straws” or anything that would prove that they reached the turn-around point of the race!!!)
Perpetual & Individual Trophies For the Men's & Women's Champions
I have the impression that the race organizer have not offered any cash prizes for the winners. Each of the finishers receives a certificate and the Champions in the overall male and female categories are the only ones being given with trophies.

14K Evening Run @ Silverlake
On May 24, 2009 May 24, 2009 By kingofpotsIn Jogging, Places to Run, Practice Runs, Runners' Training, Running1 Comment
8:30 PM 22 May 2009 @ Silverlake Reservoir
Silverlake Reservoir is a good 10-minute ride from my place and I had a run with my daughter after dinner. My daughter, Jovelle, had been running a lot in preparation for the Los Angeles Marathon on Monday. We started our run at 8:30PM with a prevailing temperature of about 64 degrees Fahrenheit. It was cold basing from my running weather standards in the Philippines but it was a nice weather for a run.
My warm-up run was about one kilometer with a pace of 6:30 minutes per kilometer and later increased my pace. I did not have any stretching anymore before I steadily increased my pace during the run. There were a few people along the running route and I only count about three people who are running and the rest of about four couples were walking with their dogs. There are portions of the route that are not lighted but the lights from the street posts would illuminate a portion of the running area.
Because of the nice and ideal weather for running, I started to sweat after running two loops of the route, which is equivalent to 7 kilometers. But once I perspired, it was a continous perspiration mixed with the cold air around. How I wished I could run some more but I did not want that my daughter would be waiting for me while her sweat and wet running attire would dry up.
I did four loops which registered in my GF 305 with a distance of 14 kilometers. I had a time of 1:23:45 hours. It was a slow run but I am happy that I could easily increase my pace during the run. I did some “fartleks” along the route as 3/4 of the whole loop is a dirt road. However, due to my slow warm-up run at the start and a slow cool-down run before I stopped the run, I was able to register an average pace of 6:00 minutes per kilometer. After the run, I did some stretching and waited for my daughter who did 3 loops for her running workout. I hope to have two more runs as my active recovery runs with a duration of 30 minutes each workout before the Los Angeles Marathon.
Running with a cold weather situation is a good activity to end the day. | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11740 | {"url": "https://baldrunner.com/2009/05/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en",

Artist in Residence – Jake Mosher
Bank of Bozeman News, Community
Our Spring Artist in Residence is award winning nature photographer Jake Mosher! Jake grew up in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, a stone’s throw from the Quebec border and has, for the past twenty-five years, lived in the Rocky Mountains of Montana. He’s worked as a novelist, freelance journalist, logger, substitute school teacher, prize fighter, miner, explosives engineer, and for the past three and a half years, a full-time nature photographer.
“I believe that now more than ever, as our world hurtles along with technology none of us could have imaged even a decade ago, there’s great value in viewing and trying hard to preserve the wilder places around us. Through my photography, I try to capture a snippet of time from places I enjoy most. My work has been published across the globe from USA Today to the China Post, and I’ve won numerous awards including the 2020 National Wildlife Federation Photo Contest for the best landscape in America. “ – Jake Mosher

How to Close a Pocket Knife? Pocket knives are a popular outdoor tool. A versatile knife that can be used almost every day, whether camping or at work. Taking care of your pocket knife is just as important as knowing how to use it effectively. Part of that care is being an expert in closing it. Learning how to clip a pocket knife correctly and securely will help maintain its quality and make it last longer.
Regardless of the type of pocket knife, it is important that when the pocket knife blade is open, the pocket knife blade is closed tightly to prevent it from slipping out. And that’s what the pocket knife’s locking system is all about. It is to ensure optimum and safe use of the knife. These locking systems vary greatly by model. Front pumps, rear pumps, flat springs, or rotary clamps – there are many ways to close the folding knives.
Lockback
The Lockback is the oldest locking mechanism in pocket knife history. One. This locking mechanism is provided by a barbed locking lever on the back of the handle. When the pocket knife is opened, the metal spine engages notches in the backbone of the blade, preventing it from moving backward.
A lock-back mechanism holds the lever with a leaf spring inside the handle. Push the back of the lever to unlock. The latter is accessed through a small cutout in the fairing behind the steering wheel. The Lockback knife lever presses against the occipital cam surface in the closed part. Prevents accidental opening the advantage of this lock is the ease of handling this type of knife. Either right or left hand. Other benefits include simplicity of construction and reliability in holding the pocket knife blade in the closed position.
LINER LOCK Pocket knife liner lock construction is today’s most commonly used locking mechanism. A spring-loaded wing allows the liner lock knife to be locked. The wings are an integral part of one of the steel side plates (liners) or titanium skeletons of the handle. After opening the pocket blade, the liner bends diagonally toward the inside of the handle. It wraps around the sloping part of the back of the head and prevents backward movement.
Unlocking is done by bending the locking wings outward. It is most convenient to press with your thumb. In the closed position, it is pressed against the pawl that has been drilled behind the blade of the pocket knife. It will prevent the blade from opening automatically. The main advantages of the Linerlock is a simple construction and intuitive operation. However, the liner lock mechanism is a bit awkward for left-handers.
Framelock
The Framelock is a very strong and stable closure based on the liner lock principle of the Framelock knife. The main difference from Framelock is in the side plates of the grip frame. They are very thick, so no additional panels are needed. It makes rocking his wings thicker and stiffer. In addition, these frame lock pocket knives are less susceptible to dynamic loads. This lock is also stain-resistant. In addition, there is no space for collecting dirt between the closing wing and the pad. This lock is often made of titanium, steel, and sometimes aluminum.
Compression Latch
The compression latch closes like a liner or frame lock pocket knife. The difference is that there is a notch at the base of the edge and a locking pin inside the handle. This type of lock uses a liner to input the handle. The liner’s role is to open and close the blade. It’s a piece of metal that you push to the side of the handle to handle.
To close the knife securely:
Hold it with your dominant hand, especially the thumb of your dominant hand.
Make sure the blade faces outward, and the recessed grip faces up.
Start closing the edge very gently with your other hand.
Release your thumb when the blade is 1/4 closed.
The liner automatically fits exactly into the notch at the base of the blade when the knife is in the open or closed position. The handle also has a locking pin that the liner fits in between.
The Button Lock is a popular locking system. Most commonly used in switchblades and quick-action knives. These features are very attractive but also a rather dangerous type of knife. Especially if not treated with care. Pressing the release button may activate the blade and cause an accidental injury.
To close this knife securely, you must hold it with your dominant hand and thumb. The notorious release button should be on the top of the grip. The blade should face outwards. And from there, it’s the same process as the compression lock guy. Release the button when the knife is closed to about 1/4 of its length. Continue closing until the blade clicks into the recessed grip.
Axle Lock
The Axle Lock allows pocket knives with axle locks to be closed by the solid axle. Move horizontally through a notch in the steel side plate of the grip frame. When the knife is open, the locking axis overlaps the back of the blade from above. It will prevent the edge from backing out. Attached to this axle is a U-shaped tension wire called an omega spring.
Pull back the lock pin to unlock. Its end is accessible through a panel cutout on the side of the handle. In the locked position, the axle pushes against the cam surface behind the head, thus preventing it from opening itself. It is lightweight and easy to use with either right or left hand. Its weak point is the relatively fragile Omega spring.
Ringlock
The Ringlock comes in several variations and is quite versatile. The most common have a single lock piece. It is located along the spine of the handle. It connects to a ring that pulls or turns and holds the locking amount securely. This type of lock looks like a gear with sharp teeth. Also, depending on the number of teeth, you can lock the blade at different angles. The famous gear-like part is at the blade pivot.
This type of lock closes the slowest of all the models in this manual. To do this safely, you must slide your finger inside the ring and pull it out. At the same time, press it with the blade’s blunt side. Move, he has two purposes. First, release the knife and get your hand out of the way. One thing to avoid is wrapping your fingers around the handle.
The Camlock is one of the rarest types of locks. It is typically used with assisted opening knives. The fact that it is not so common does not prevent many qualities such as speed and security. One does not exclude the other.
The knife neck has a level and a recess in the handle. To unlock the blade, the lever must push down. Also, to take out the supported edges, you must press the level when it flips. To close them, push down on the layer and open it again. Then, put the blade back into the handle. You can also do this with your fingers if you have experience.
Triad Lock
The triad lock has a space behind the knife. Therefore, opening the blade acts as a release to release the edge from its compressed position. Finally, it is enough to close the knife. This lock is also equipped with a hammer cutout. It is located on the back of the blade pivot next to the additional locking pin. And that’s the key: eliminate vertical blade play.
The entire surface of the metal plate and the tongue of the blade match perfectly. However, the locking mechanism is slightly slanted. As a result, it tends to force locks inward rather than outward. This movement frees the locking bar from impact and helps protect the knife from wear.
The Powerlock is a variant of the Lockback. Originally intended to improve locking power for 5-inch blades. This lock looks simple and ordinary, but look inside to discover its amazing power. The secret of this locking function and its strength lies in the secondary cam. When the blade is opened, the tang hits the locking pin.
It is very solid. It is located on the handle, and its main task is to stop the rotation. The blade has a locking bar in the middle of the handle that engages the tang in conjunction with the counter-rotating cam. This model also includes a spring-loaded lever. It is located on the back side of the knife handle. Responsible for the rotation of the cam around its pivot point. It allows the fingers at the base of the cam to slide against the top concave surface of the peg to avoid sharp edges. Each of these elements ensures that the pocket of her knife is closed.

Brand Spotlight: The Hudson's Bay Company
2017 Feb 22nd
Hudson’s Bay Company was founded in 1670, and is one of the oldest and fastest-growing department store retailers in the world. In the 17th century, as a result of European demand for felt hats made from beaver fur, the fur trade emerged into a major commercial enterprise in North America. HBC set up its first operations at York Factory, on the Manitoba shores of the bay. Since then, HBC embarked on its journey to monopolize the entire North American fur trade. A ‘point’ system was invented as a way of indicating the trade-off of goods for furs. For example, the infamous Hudson's Bay blankets were traded based on a ratio. That ratio being quantity, or size, of furs to the size of a blanket or quality of the goods to trade. The Hudson's Bay Company has played a large role in the settlement of western Canada and their trading posts have helped develop the economy, secure supply lines and have ultimately shaped the future of our country.
Fast forward to the 20th century where HBC started turning to retail, becoming the main importer of fashions and accessories to Canada. After 346 years in business, North America’s first company still embraces and brings Canadians together. As the oldest company in North America, HBC’s portfolio today includes ten banners from Hudson’s Bay to Saks Fifth Avenue.

Ex Strongest Swordsman 277 (Self Edited) – Ex Strongest, Receiving Revelation
Ex Strongest, Receiving Revelation
Suddenly, the eyes opened.
No, should it be said that it was in the intention. Immediately after that, there was a realization that this was still a dream.
And the reason why it was a dream… was because the familiar scene that was displayed.
Burning flame. A jarring sound. An unpleasant feeling that was transmitted to the arm.
The surroundings were filled with the smell of burning flesh, but instead of increasing appetite, it only brought nausea. However that was natural. The flesh was that of humans.
The rattling and unpleasant sounds never stopped. But that was also natural since it was heard from the hand. It was natural that the sound never stopped because the hand never stopped.
If so, the feeling that was transmitted to the arm wouldn’t disappear, but in fact, that was the biggest cause of nausea. This was because the existence under the eyes was used to call Father and Mother until recently.
However, everything was a thing of the past, and it wasn’t possible to deny it as someone who lived in the present. The arms kept moved with the *Guchu* sound.
It felt sickening.
The eye sockets, that were filled with darkness, were directed to the owner of the body. However, the arm that was swung down without being mindful with the stare still conveyed only unpleasant feelings.
*Guchu* *Guchu*
Unpleasant sounds echoed, and… there was a sudden realization. It was certainly unpleasant, but… it wasn’t jarring.
Then, without stopping the arms, the awareness was focused on the ears and there was another sound heard. Realization…
But it was already too late to regret. The sound was heard from the surroundings. Moreover, the same sound repeated many times and it was a misunderstanding if that was only from a source of sound.
*Squeaky* *Squeaky*
The eyes turned involuntarily… another realization. Many eyes were directed. The jarring sound heard was laughter.
Still, the arms didn’t stop. As if to repent, as if trying to atone for the sins that had been committed. As everyone was watching, the arm was swung down.
Nausea never stopped, but… that was also natural. The last thing remembered was very important.
Thinking that was the feeling of nausea, but it wasn’t. What was in the mouth was the same as everyone else.
— Soma had such a dream.
“I had a dream that made me wake up with unpleasant feelings again.” (Soma)
He let out a breath as a sigh. It was a really unpleasant awakening.
There were strange things happening yesterday, and Soma wondered if he was tired without knowing it. That was because it was a dream that he had no idea about, but…
“…Say, what are you doing?” (Soma)
“–!?” (Hildegard)
Soma let out a sigh when she turned away the face of ‘How did he catch me!?’. Rather, why did she think that he wouldn’t notice her?
“No… it is surely because of that, right? You were half-awake, yes!?” (Hildegard)
“It’s you who are half-awake. Or perhaps I should say that you’re talking in your sleep.” (Soma)
Soma let out another sigh while looking at the face in front of her.
“…It’s probably a revelation.” (Eleonora)
It was only for some reason that he told the dream he had earlier at breakfast. For some reason, the talk was interrupted, he remembered the dream for some reason, and for some reason, he mentioned it.
So, Soma didn’t expect a decent answer, but he tilted his head to the words that came back unexpectedly.
“Revelation, is it…?” (Soma)
It wasn’t a word that he had never heard. Rather, it was a question because he knew it. Was that really a revelation?
“Revelation… Surely, it was a warning from God and a prophecy that is transmitted to the believers of the Holy Doctrine. But, isn’t strange because Soma isn’t a believer.” (Hildegard)
Soma nodded to those words in a double sense. The content was the same as what Soma knew and to show consent to the latter.
“Hmm… I don’t remember being one.” (Soma)
“In other words, it means you understand our thoughts naturally, right? So, I welcome you. No… rather, if you think about living here and eating with me, doesn’t it mean that you have already signed up as a believer?” (Eleonora)
“You’re talking nonsense after sleeping, isn’t it?” (Hildegard)
“Oh my, I don’t want to be told by someone who failed to crawl at night.” (Eleonora)
“Wha… Why do you know that…!?” (Hildegard)
“The fact that this place is under the protection of my Lord means that it is the same for me. It was foolish to initiate a night crawling without noticing that… No, in the first place, it’s not already a night crawling in terms of time, so at that point, it can only be said to be foolish.” (Eleonora)
“You bastard… do you think you can say that even if I ask you how!?” (Hildegard)
“I haven’t said enough to someone who tried to do something shameless under the watch of God!” (Eleonora)
Ignoring their already familiar arguments, Soma thought about the revelation.
He didn’t think that it was a mistake. Looking back, it was certainly more like being shown something close to a dream than a dream. If that was something related to the future, it was strangely convincing.
“Hmm… Anyhow, I don’t remember signing up as a believer…” (Soma)
When he muttered that, it stopped the argument between Hildegard and Eleonora, and they turned to him. What was displayed in their eyes were the thoughts that he couldn’t understand…
“…Actually, you don’t have to serve our Lord to receive revelation. It’s said to be a revelation, but in reality, it is the remnant of the dream that my Lord is dreaming of. It’s just that it’s a warning to the future.” (Eleonora)
“Hmm? What does it mean by the remnant of a dream that becomes a warning of the future?” (Soma)
“Well… do you know that my Lord is always connected to the world?” (Eleonora)
“I remember hearing it.” (Soma)
Certainly, ‘she’ mentioned that kind of thing yesterday. It was possible to make deep connections if ‘she’ was conscious of it, but now it was intentionally kept at a minimum level.
“Then, the talk will be quick. Because of this situation, when my Lord is sleeping, the information that the world is seeing now flows to my Lord in no small way. And it appears in the form of a dream.” (Eleonora)
“Hmm? I feel that the fact that the remnant is related to the future means that you are looking at the future even though you’re looking at it now?” (Hildegard)
“That’s right, so there’s no problem. The world is always looking to the future. By doing so, it’s always making sure that it can proceed as planned.” (Eleonora)
“That means… you can’t move flashily right now because of that?” (Soma)
“You’re right. The more flashy you move, the more dramatically the future will change. That’s why we are preparing for maximum efficiency with minimal movement.” (Eleonora)
“I see… that’s why you meant by considering various things.” (Hildegard)
“Of course. It’s different from someone who is full of perverted thoughts.” (Eleonora)
“Who are you talking about..!?” (Hildegard)
“Reacting to me even though I didn’t specifically say who it was means that you are that someone!” (Eleonora)
“Hmm…” (Soma)
He understood what revelation was like. However, he still didn’t know what was important.
After all, why did Soma see it?
“Well, I didn’t say anything important. Please excuse me. That’s why anyone who has a good connection with my Lord can receive the remnant. Of course, if you have something to do with the remnant. It means from the world to the Lord, and from the Lord to someone. That’s true when Soma has signed a contract with my Lord and is sleeping at the place under Her protection. The conditions for receiving revelation are in place.” (Eleonora)
“I see… if that’s the case, I’m convinced.” (Soma)
The revelation was more like sending the information unknowingly rather than showing it. He didn’t know where in that dream that was related to him, but for the time being, it seemed better to remember.
“Hmm… It was helpful to teach me various things in an easy-to-understand manner. Sorry for doing that while eating.” (Soma)
“No problem. It would be great if it helped Soma-san. That’s the most important role for me right now.” (Eleonora)
“…Now I suddenly remember this. Why are you eating with us?” (Hildegard)
“Oh my, I remember inviting Soma-san because it’s at the right time, but I don’t remember inviting you? You were accompanying us… so, even if you asked me why, that question is actually my line.” (Eleonora)
“What did you say!?” (Hildegard)
“Am I wrong!?” (Eleonora)
For some reason, Soma looked over the place while listening to the arguing voices. The place there was now was the dining hall, so he should stop them, but he let them since there were no other people. That was because he chose the time when there were no people here today.
Satya wasn’t there, but Eleonora was. In a different sense from Satya, Eleonora couldn’t eat together with people either. It seemed that she basically ate at a different time from the general public. Soma and Hildegard didn’t have to deal with it, but… although he was already used to it, he couldn’t refuse when he was told that someone wanted to eat together with him.
However, it was unknown whether that was done with a pure intention. Soma decided to go along with her, at least because he didn’t think it was a complete bad decision.
While remembering that time, he looked sideways at the two of them. Well, it seemed to be fun for some reason, so he thought that this was good.
With that in mind, Soma drank the last bit of the soup that had begun to cool.

Devices And Implants
Bayya ENT provides audiology and speech language pathology services to children from birth to adulthood. This includes testing to determine the degree and type of hearing loss a child may have, fitment of devices to address any hearing loss (including hearing aids, bone conduction devices and cochlear implants), and assessment of the development of listening and communication skills, especially speech and oral language. We work closely with children’s school and therapy personnel so that we may be effectively, one team working towards the best possible communication outcomes for children with auditory disorders.
Cochlear Implants : Multi-channel cochlear implants have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use by children since 1990. Currently, three manufacturers make implants for sale in the US: Cochlear Corporation, Advanced Bionics, and MedEl Corporation.
As per FDA regulations, children may be candidates for cochlear implantation if they are at least 12 months of age and have severe to profound hearing loss with inadequate benefit from hearing aids to support development of auditory oral skills.
Regardless of manufacturer or model, all cochlear implants have the same basic features: a microphone picks up sound and converts it to an electrical signal which is transmitted to a speech processor worn either behind the ear or on the body. The processor encodes the signal in a manner that is specific to the particular implant, and the encoded signal is relayed to a transmitting coil held in place on the side of the head, usually by means of a magnet. The signal is sent across the skin via a radio frequency to the receiver which has been surgically implanted under the skin above and behind the ear. The receiver decodes the signal and relays the information to electrodes that have been placed in the cochlea. The electrodes stimulate structures connecting to the auditory nerve and thus the system provides improved access to sound;
In our program, surgery is performed under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis; child goes into the hospital early in the morning and goes home the same day. Three weeks later, the child comes back to the audiology department for the programming of the speech processor, and these programming or “mapping” sessions are repeated at frequent intervals until optimal levels are achieved, and then annually along with other progress assessments to monitor auditory development language skill levels
Considering Cochlear Implantation
If you are not familiar with cochlear implants, you’ll find it helpful to spend some time visiting our centre which is attended by children with implants or spend time with families of children about your child’s age or older who use cochlear implants.
Our cochlear implant centre typically uses a multidisciplinary approach to determining candidacy, and your child shall be evaluated by the surgeon, audiologist, speech language pathologist and psychologist who, as a team, will discuss with you, your child’s candidacy for cochlear implantation in their program.
You may wish to ask the following:
What devices does the program use, what is their experience with the reliability of each device, and how compatible new external technologies have been to older internal devices, since you can expect your child to use the device you choose for many years.
How many pediatric implants has the surgeon performed and how many children has the audiologist mapped?
How is progress assessed and are speech perception testing and speech language evaluations performed regularly?
How does your center communicate with your child’s educators and therapists so that all your child’s care providers can work effectively together? | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11746 | {"url": "https://bayyaent.com/index.php/devices-and-implants/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "bayyaent.com", "date_download": "2023-03-31T09:53:16Z", "digest": "sha1:VHBFIBT7FM7F5ERXVFZ7JOIHAEO762UW"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3750, 3750.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3750, 5681.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3750, 14.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3750, 123.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3750, 0.94]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3750, 249.1]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3750, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3750, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3750, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3750, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3750, 0.43404908]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3750, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3750, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3750, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3750, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3750, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3750, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3750, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3750, 0.03084833]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3750, 0.01092545]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3750, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3750, 0.00460123]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3750, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3750, 0.09355828]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3750, 0.48122867]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3750, 5.3105802]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3750, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3750, 5.11916027]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3750, 586.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 21, 0.0], [21, 641, 1.0], [641, 908, 1.0], [908, 1154, 1.0], [1154, 1997, 0.0], [1997, 2498, 0.0], [2498, 2532, 0.0], [2532, 2785, 1.0], [2785, 3097, 1.0], [3097, 3132, 0.0], [3132, 3388, 1.0], [3388, 3492, 1.0], [3492, 3604, 1.0], [3604, 3750, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 21, 0.0], [21, 641, 0.0], [641, 908, 0.0], [908, 1154, 0.0], [1154, 1997, 0.0], [1997, 2498, 0.0], [2498, 2532, 0.0], [2532, 2785, 0.0], [2785, 3097, 0.0], [3097, 3132, 0.0], [3132, 3388, 0.0], [3388, 3492, 0.0], [3492, 3604, 0.0], [3604, 3750, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 21, 3.0], [21, 641, 92.0], [641, 908, 37.0], [908, 1154, 40.0], [1154, 1997, 144.0], [1997, 2498, 77.0], [2498, 2532, 3.0], [2532, 2785, 43.0], [2785, 3097, 44.0], [3097, 3132, 7.0], [3132, 3388, 43.0], [3388, 3492, 16.0], [3492, 3604, 15.0], [3604, 3750, 22.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 21, 0.0], [21, 641, 0.0], [641, 908, 0.0155642], [908, 1154, 0.00823045], [1154, 1997, 0.0], [1997, 2498, 0.0], [2498, 2532, 0.0], [2532, 2785, 0.0], [2785, 3097, 0.0], [3097, 3132, 0.0], [3132, 3388, 0.0], [3388, 3492, 0.0], [3492, 3604, 0.0], [3604, 3750, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 21, 0.0], [21, 641, 0.0], [641, 908, 0.0], [908, 1154, 0.0], [1154, 1997, 0.0], [1997, 2498, 0.0], [2498, 2532, 0.0], [2532, 2785, 0.0], [2785, 3097, 0.0], [3097, 3132, 0.0], [3132, 3388, 0.0], [3388, 3492, 0.0], [3492, 3604, 0.0], [3604, 3750, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 21, 0.14285714], [21, 641, 0.00967742], [641, 908, 0.05992509], [908, 1154, 0.01626016], [1154, 1997, 0.0059312], [1997, 2498, 0.00399202], [2498, 2532, 0.08823529], [2532, 2785, 0.00395257], [2785, 3097, 0.00320513], [3097, 3132, 0.02857143], [3132, 3388, 0.00390625], [3388, 3492, 0.00961538], [3492, 3604, 0.00892857], [3604, 3750, 0.00684932]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3750, 0.45589775]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3750, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3750, 0.04063779]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3750, -101.91457966]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3750, 38.91753018]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3750, -79.37287083]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3750, 17.0]]} |

Governments, B.C. coastal First Nations endorse marine protection action plan
The federal and British Columbia governments, alongside 15 coastal First Nations, have officially endorsed the blueprint for a vast network of marine protected areas along Canada's west coast.
The federal government says in a news release the Marine Protected Area Network Action Plan will support efforts to conserve 25 per cent of Canada's oceans by 2025 and 30 per cent by 2030.
It says it will provide a planned approach for the creation of new protected areas in the Northern Shelf Bioregion, which extends from the top of Vancouver Island to the Canada-Alaska border.
It says the approach will identify areas of ecological and cultural conservation that will be considered for protection to help preserve important ocean ecosystems.
The government says this is the first marine protected area network in Canada, and will be co-governed by Indigenous, federal and provincial governments.
The endorsement was announced during the 5th International Marine Protected Areas Congress in Vancouver. | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11749 | {"url": "https://bc.ctvnews.ca/governments-b-c-coastal-first-nations-endorse-marine-protection-action-plan-1.6261006", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "bc.ctvnews.ca", "date_download": "2023-03-31T10:42:20Z", "digest": "sha1:WX7KM74JVY6A7AIMAV55SWC3LW4EPPUF"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1075, 1075.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1075, 15232.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1075, 7.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1075, 216.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1075, 0.92]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1075, 242.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1075, 0.34042553]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1075, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1075, 0.06718925]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1075, 0.04255319]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1075, 0.05823068]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1075, 0.0106383]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1075, 0.12234043]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1075, 0.56363636]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1075, 5.41212121]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1075, 4.27018681]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1075, 165.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 78, 0.0], [78, 271, 1.0], [271, 460, 1.0], [460, 652, 1.0], [652, 817, 1.0], [817, 971, 1.0], [971, 1075, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 78, 0.0], [78, 271, 0.0], [271, 460, 0.0], [460, 652, 0.0], [652, 817, 0.0], [817, 971, 0.0], [971, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 78, 10.0], [78, 271, 28.0], [271, 460, 34.0], [460, 652, 32.0], [652, 817, 24.0], [817, 971, 23.0], [971, 1075, 14.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 78, 0.0], [78, 271, 0.0106383], [271, 460, 0.06451613], [460, 652, 0.0], [652, 817, 0.0], [817, 971, 0.0], [971, 1075, 0.00970874]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 78, 0.0], [78, 271, 0.0], [271, 460, 0.0], [460, 652, 0.0], [652, 817, 0.0], [817, 971, 0.0], [971, 1075, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 78, 0.06410256], [78, 271, 0.03108808], [271, 460, 0.04232804], [460, 652, 0.04166667], [652, 817, 0.00606061], [817, 971, 0.01948052], [971, 1075, 0.06730769]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1075, 0.95100456]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1075, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1075, 0.85789841]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1075, -39.57433884]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1075, 20.56665602]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1075, 13.42665392]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1075, 8.0]]} |

Published30 August 2017
BCEC’s latest Focus on Industry report, Power to the People: WA’s Energy Future, was launched on Friday 25 August, and asks if WA is positioned to take advantage of technological advances in energy that are yet to be incorporated into energy markets.
The report examines the state of play in energy and where WA sits in comparison with the eastern states, analyse technological developments both locally and overseas, considers how our natural endowments affect our energy choices, and whether our productivity and innovation capabilities are ready to participate in the energy revolution.

In opening the event, Hon. Ben Wyatt MLA, Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Energy and Aboriginal Affairs, acknowledged the report authors and the Bankwest Curtin Economics Centre for producing a comprehensive report.
“The BCEC, in my view, is the pre-eminent centre in Western Australia producing regular reports across the full spectrum of public policy that is of great interest to state, federal and local government. During my long time in opposition, the BCEC provided me with lots of ideas, thoughts and debates around policy, going into the election campaign,” Mr Wyatt said.
He went on to explain “the report is timely, in that the energy industry is undergoing a fundamental reform, and that we need to be mindful of the impact on West Australian citizens. If the consumer isn’t a beneficiary, then we will fail in our reform process.”

Launching the report, BCEC Director Professor Alan Duncan said energy is a vital part of our everyday lives, and although it should be accessible and affordable to all, this is not always the case.
“Energy provides the means by which people heat their homes, remain connected to their friends and communities, and access goods and services. It drives industry; and provides the power required to run hospitals, schools and businesses,” Professor Duncan said.
Professor Duncan went on to discuss how “the energy sector is facing arguably the most significant transformation in its lifetime, including the way in which we produce, distribute and consume electricity.”
Report co-author and BCEC Research Fellow Dr Yashar Tarverdi discussed the economic contribution the energy sector makes to WA.
“WA’s utility sector has grown to $6.2 billion in Gross Value Added contribution, up from $2.5 billion in 1990. As a sector, it currently employs around 20,000 people in WA.”
Dr Tarverdi went on to explain the patterns of electricity use during the seasons, noting “peak load in winter has risen consistently over the past decade, and the use of solar PV electricity to capture the afternoon sun has caused a deeper trough between afternoon off-peak and evening peak load.”
Professor Duncan went on to present one of the report’s key findings on energy poverty.
“More than a quarter of single parents are in energy poverty, spending at least 10 per cent of their incomes on energy costs,” Professor Duncan said.
“The rates of energy poverty have been increasing over time, and for some groups – especially single parents and older single men and women – the rate of growth has been significant.”
The report also found that Western Australia has been slow in adopting large-scale renewable energy technologies, with the majority of renewable energy generated by roof-top solar installed on homes.
“While renewables only account for 7.1 per cent of WA’s total electricity consumption, total current capacity from roof-top solar as a combined power source is around 730MW. However, that capacity is expected to reach a potential of 2,000MW by 2022, making it the second largest combined power source in the State, after Muja Power Station,” Professor Duncan said.
“However, there is a need to revisit incentives for new solar installations, with landlords having little financial motivation to install solar on rental accommodation, and homeowners deterred by the initial upfront costs involved.”
Expert panellists highlighted the need to work collectively to promote innovative energy solutions, and to address energy poverty among WA households.
Dr John Hewson AM, Professor at the Crawford School at ANU, Former Leader of the Liberal Party in Opposition and BCEC Professorial Fellow, said energy prices are a major issue.
He went on to highlight the need for policy settings to increase the adoption of new technology for the generation, capture and storage of renewable energy.
Ms Nicky Cusworth, Chair of the Economic Regulation Authority, commented on the changing predictability of the the energy sector over the past 30 to 40 years.
“Supply was predictable; demand was predictable; and the nature of the industry was predictable. Now we’re in a state of uncertainty. However, one thing does remain certain: when energy costs rise, it has a significant impact on households, especially low-income households,” Ms Cusworth said.
Mr David Martin, Managing Director and Co-founder of Power Ledger, provided a different perspective on the changing shape of the energy sector, stating that “consumers have always taken what they’ve been given, but the energy industry has changed its shape.”
“Now we have technology that enables the sale of surplus renewable energy, providing a platform for people, and especially low-income households, who can benefit by buying surplus energy from their next door neighbour,” Mr Martin said.
Mr Martin’s presentation using potatoes as an analogy to explain the sale of surplus energy was a crowd favourite.
In closing the event, Curtin Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research, Professor Chris Moran, highlighted the role Curtin was playing in researching new solutions for energy security, and educating WA’s future energy engineers.
“Curtin is committed to doing its part to address the challenges that lie ahead for the energy sector, through our suite of courses educating the engineers of tomorrow, and our energy researchers who are at the forefront of advancements in grid systems and power technologies,” Professor Moran said.
Report co-authors Professor Duncan, Associate Professor Rebecca Cassells and Dr Tarverdi authored an article in The Conversation, detailing the report findings.
The report also generated media interest with articles in The West Australian, ABC, WAToday and The New Daily.
The report offers a reminder that a collaborative approach is needed to develop an energy future that integrates existing and emerging energy technologies. | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11750 |

How to Choose Outdoor Solar Motion Sensor Light
Using solar lights that have a motion sensor installed is an effective way to detect any activity outside of your home as it instantly shines a light on the person or object. But before making a choice there are certain things that need to be considered. Paying attention to the following things will help you in making the right choice.
Range of Sensor:
In order to enhance the security of your home, the Solar Motion Sensor Light are a good and cost-effective option. The motion sensor should be able to detect the movement of a person as far as possible. Not only this, the sensor should also be able to detect the motion in as many directions as possible.
While making a buying choice, you should consider the range of motion sensor as it is an important factor to be considered. The good quality range of senor is considered to be between 10 feet to 40 feet.
In order to detect the motion in all directions, the sensor should have 360 degrees detection angle. This helps in covering the entire area. The range and the angle capacity depend on the area you want to cover.
Type and Strength of Battery:
The type and capacity (or strength) of the battery is also an important factor to be considered. Lithium-ion battery having a higher capacity is a favorable choice. The user needs to make sure that the battery has enough capacity to supply power throughout the night.
The intensity of Light:
Another element of motion sensor which should be considered is its illumination capacity. The range of illumination depends on the lumens. Lumens are used to define the intensity of light produced by the bulb or LEDs. More lumens mean lighter.
If you want to have more light on your driveway or on your front door then you should opt for higher lumens and a LED bulb.
Type of Bulb Used:
There are different types of bulbs used in motion sensor lights such as incandescent bulbs, LED bulbs, fluorescent bulbs, etc. Among these choices, LED bulbs are widely preferred as they are energy efficient and can last for 20000 to 50000 hours. Other bulbs such as incandescent and fluorescent consume more energy and also have waste heat and require replacements at frequent intervals.
Motion Sensor type:
There are different variants of motion sensors that are being used in motion sensor lights. It depends on the user’s preference for the kind of sensor he wants to buy. Following are some of them
Passive infrared type
It turns the light on when it detects body heat within its area of operation. The sensor detects heat as infrared energy. The sensor gets warm-up and creates a movement detecting grid which keeps a track of the movements in the surrounding area. Upon sensing a movement, it activates by switching on the light.
Microwave:
The microwave motion sensor works on microwave pulses. The upside of using this sensor is that it covers more areas as compared to the infrared sensors, but there is one downside which is that it gets disrupted due to electrical interferences.
Dual Technology:
This technology uses a combination of both the infrared sensor and a microwave sensor. Advanced technology is used to reduce the occurrences of false alarms. This is achieved by using both sensors to trigger at the same time and activate an alarm instead of relying on just one sensor.

Craning in training
Trainees will have an industry-standard crane in the new Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) training centre at Bedford College.
The gantry crane, of the sort used within manufacturing facilities to lift components of pre-manufactured properties, was itself hauled into position in Cauldwell Street on Friday (February 26th) by a specialist spider crane.
The gantry crane being installed was manufactured in the UK by Street Crane Company Limited. The crane has cost £25k plus VAT and is an essential element of the new MMC.
It will safely lift loads up to 3.2Tonne and it will have a working span of 20.2m. College staff will be able to operate the crane using a wireless control pad. Work has been underway on Bedford College’s £4.3million MCC since before Christmas and will be completed by September 2021.
Pre-manufacturing homes, or at least part of them, and then shipping them to a building site, has been identified as the most efficient and cost-effective way of meeting the huge demand for housing.
To keep up with the skills demand from the construction industry, Bedford College has been awarded money to upgrade its existing facilities in Cauldwell Street.
The riverside campus already houses the Brundtland Building, which leads on modern “eco” infrastructure training, and the Advanced Engineering Centre, which houses a Virtual Reality construction ‘cave’, funded by the Connolly Foundation. Digital engineering technologies and the use of computerised-aided design (CAD) equipment is already part of the wider college curriculum offer. There is a huge synergy now between engineering design and the construction industry, which opens up a whole new world of employment.
This new funding will see the single storey building which sits alongside the Brundtland Building on Cauldwell Street being upgraded to include a facility to construct dwellings and component parts like kitchen and bathroom “pods”.
Dave Wilkins, Director of Construction, said:
We will be working closely with leading employers in the construction industry regionally to get input about the skills they need to fast-forward these modern methods
“There are huge opportunities here for training young people for great jobs in the future – be it 16-year-olds embarking on apprenticeships, those undertaking the new T-Levels, others progressing on to degree-level Higher Education courses, and those in the industry who want to modernise their skills.”
“There will always be a demand for more traditional construction skills and we will continue to offer those courses across all levels.”
Ian Pryce CBE, CEO of The Bedford College Group, said of the Modern Methods of Construction Centre:
“The funding to refurbish our Construction centre at the Bedford College Cauldwell Street campus will support our provision of high-quality learning environments for students in the region.
“This refurbishment has been supported by the Getting Building Fund which is especially welcome in these times which are seeing a renewed focus on the construction industry. The refurbished centre will support construction training, making it possible for young people to move into skilled and professional careers via apprenticeships or gain promotion through further qualifications.”
The project has received £2.9 Million in funding as part of a Getting Building Fund for infrastructure projects designed to stimulate jobs and support economic recovery across the county.
The South East Midlands Local Enterprise Partnership (SEMLEP), which covers Bedfordshire, Milton Keynes and Northamptonshire, has been allocated £27.3million of the pot – more than £15.1 million of which has been allocated to fund six projects in Bedfordshire.
Hilary Chipping, SEMLEP Chief Executive, said:
We are delighted to have secured more than £27m from government to support the economic recovery from COVID-19 in this area. These projects will support key priorities including skills for young people, the green recovery and innovation, which all generate jobs.
“In July 2019 we published our Local Industrial Strategy, laying out the priorities and interventions we needed to invest in to realise innovation, further improve connectivity and achieve sustainable growth. These Getting Building Fund projects meet these priorities and the needs of the local economy as we strive to recover economically from this pandemic.” | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11754 | {"url": "https://bedfordcollegegroup.ac.uk/about/news/craning-in-training/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "bedfordcollegegroup.ac.uk", "date_download": "2023-03-31T10:23:16Z", "digest": "sha1:36E3AXVQQIUX2NMY5UDMQM4ICKWI3FA2"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 4388, 4388.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 4388, 8535.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 4388, 21.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 4388, 190.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 4388, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 4388, 322.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 4388, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 4388, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 4388, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 4388, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 4388, 0.37452229]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 4388, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 4388, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 4388, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 4388, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 4388, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 4388, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 4388, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 4388, 0.00962067]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 4388, 0.02528862]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 4388, 0.01484332]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 4388, 0.01528662]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 4388, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 4388, 0.14012739]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 4388, 0.49253731]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 4388, 5.42985075]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 4388, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 4388, 5.27005344]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 4388, 670.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 20, 0.0], [20, 150, 1.0], [150, 376, 1.0], [376, 546, 1.0], [546, 831, 1.0], [831, 1030, 1.0], [1030, 1191, 1.0], [1191, 1708, 1.0], [1708, 1940, 1.0], [1940, 1986, 0.0], [1986, 2153, 0.0], [2153, 2457, 1.0], [2457, 2593, 1.0], [2593, 2693, 0.0], [2693, 2883, 1.0], [2883, 3269, 1.0], [3269, 3457, 1.0], [3457, 3718, 1.0], [3718, 3765, 0.0], [3765, 4028, 1.0], [4028, 4388, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 20, 0.0], [20, 150, 0.0], [150, 376, 0.0], [376, 546, 0.0], [546, 831, 0.0], [831, 1030, 0.0], [1030, 1191, 0.0], [1191, 1708, 0.0], [1708, 1940, 0.0], [1940, 1986, 0.0], [1986, 2153, 0.0], [2153, 2457, 0.0], [2457, 2593, 0.0], [2593, 2693, 0.0], [2693, 2883, 0.0], [2883, 3269, 0.0], [3269, 3457, 0.0], [3457, 3718, 0.0], [3718, 3765, 0.0], [3765, 4028, 0.0], [4028, 4388, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 20, 3.0], [20, 150, 19.0], [150, 376, 33.0], [376, 546, 31.0], [546, 831, 50.0], [831, 1030, 33.0], [1030, 1191, 25.0], [1191, 1708, 74.0], [1708, 1940, 35.0], [1940, 1986, 6.0], [1986, 2153, 26.0], [2153, 2457, 46.0], [2457, 2593, 22.0], [2593, 2693, 17.0], [2693, 2883, 27.0], [2883, 3269, 55.0], [3269, 3457, 29.0], [3457, 3718, 38.0], [3718, 3765, 6.0], [3765, 4028, 41.0], [4028, 4388, 54.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 20, 0.0], [20, 150, 0.0], [150, 376, 0.00913242], [376, 546, 0.01197605], [546, 831, 0.03956835], [831, 1030, 0.0], [1030, 1191, 0.0], [1191, 1708, 0.0], [1708, 1940, 0.0], [1940, 1986, 0.0], [1986, 2153, 0.0], [2153, 2457, 0.00677966], [2457, 2593, 0.0], [2593, 2693, 0.0], [2693, 2883, 0.0], [2883, 3269, 0.0], [3269, 3457, 0.01081081], [3457, 3718, 0.02380952], [3718, 3765, 0.0], [3765, 4028, 0.0155642], [4028, 4388, 0.01123596]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 20, 0.0], [20, 150, 0.0], [150, 376, 0.0], [376, 546, 0.0], [546, 831, 0.0], [831, 1030, 0.0], [1030, 1191, 0.0], [1191, 1708, 0.0], [1708, 1940, 0.0], [1940, 1986, 0.0], [1986, 2153, 0.0], [2153, 2457, 0.0], [2457, 2593, 0.0], [2593, 2693, 0.0], [2693, 2883, 0.0], [2883, 3269, 0.0], [3269, 3457, 0.0], [3457, 3718, 0.0], [3718, 3765, 0.0], [3765, 4028, 0.0], [4028, 4388, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 20, 0.05], [20, 150, 0.06923077], [150, 376, 0.02212389], [376, 546, 0.08235294], [546, 831, 0.03859649], [831, 1030, 0.00502513], [1030, 1191, 0.0310559], [1191, 1708, 0.02901354], [1708, 1940, 0.02155172], [1940, 1986, 0.08695652], [1986, 2153, 0.00598802], [2153, 2457, 0.01644737], [2457, 2593, 0.00735294], [2593, 2693, 0.16], [2693, 2883, 0.03157895], [2883, 3269, 0.01295337], [3269, 3457, 0.02659574], [3457, 3718, 0.06896552], [3718, 3765, 0.21276596], [3765, 4028, 0.02661597], [4028, 4388, 0.025]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 4388, 0.44993675]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 4388, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 4388, 0.50607246]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 4388, -221.16304068]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 4388, 30.44608923]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 4388, -56.40332724]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 4388, 30.0]]} |

Curating a Better Egg
Dec 2, 2019 thelegglance8 Comments
Barring a collapse from New Zealand of the kind that England have so often managed to conjure up in these circumstances, this match will probably end in a draw, not least because the weather forecast isn’t overly promising. The hard facts will then be that England have lost a second successive series in New Zealand, albeit with only two Test in each instance the term “series” is barely justified.
The surface in Hamilton is slow to the point of being turgid, and England have demonstrated they can definitely bat on such pitches, so assuming this game to be a benchmark for the future would be unwise to the point of recklessness. But it is also the case that in both matches England have at least tried to play more like a Test team with the bat, and if that went rather badly wrong in the first match, it was at least an attempt. As Dr Johnson once said about a dog walking on his hind legs, it’s not that it is done well, but you are surprised to see it done at all. Perhaps this is a new approach, perhaps it is indicative that England are taking Test match batting more seriously and without the carefree approach that has seen them fall in a heap all too often. Or perhaps it’s just a very slow pitch with minimal movement that has allowed them to plod to big total. Whether the glass is half full or half empty probably depends on how many times someone has cursed at the television over recent years when England are playing away from home.
The upside is that Joe Root will unquestionably be better for a long innings and a big hundred. Sure, conditions for batting were benign, even if upping the tempo was difficult, but Root’s relatively poor run in recent times appeared less down to a technique that couldn’t cope with faster tracks than someone who appeared to have lost his patience to play long form cricket. To what degree this was down to his pursuit of T20 contracts is a matter for debate, but it certainly can’t have hurt to be reminded of what it felt like to play a long Test innings and make the kind of personal score almost forgotten by English batsmen.
In the same spirit, Ollie Pope’s 75 is also highly welcome, especially so given his additional role this match as emergency wicketkeeper. He is a player of promise, and at such a young age there is no reason to assume he won’t learn and develop, meaning his occasional extravagant shots can be forgiven at the present time.
The new coaching set up had insisted that England were going to bat properly in Tests and these two matches have at least shown a willingness to try. That doesn’t mean the first Test collapses aren’t indicative of pre-existing faults, but at such an early stage, perhaps a willingness to give the benefit of the doubt towards the intention is worthwhile.
What it doesn’t fix is England’s ongoing problems using the Kookaburra ball overseas, but then there are many reasons behind it that are unlikely to be fixed in a couple of Tests in New Zealand, even if there was a firm intention to fix them at all, which remains doubtful.
Slow, low pitches provide the least entertaining conditions for watching cricket, and if the setting is stunning, the cricket has not been. The game can ever surprise, but anything other than a draw after tonight will be a major one. Test series should never really be just about learning for the future, but neither should it just be a case of looking at outcome and ignoring at least the possibility of progress, however limited that might be.
The problem is invariably a complete lack of faith in the ECB to truly mean any of what is needed to provide a genuine pathway, but if the ECB’s duplicity in talking up Test cricket while acting at every stage to undermine it, at least they’re not alone in that. Cricket South Africa have provided an object lesson in Dennis Healey’s first law of holes – having removed the accreditation of cricket journalists for the crime of daring to criticise a highly dysfunctional governing body, they have subsequently tried to justify it, apologised for it while justifying it, mentioned that cricket journalists should only be talking about events on the field, and even got in the ECB favourite of thanking the stakeholders. They haven’t so much backtracked as crabbed sideways before flipping over and waving their legs in the air in a vain attempt to get back upright. It remains endlessly fascinating how cricket administration is so appallingly inept that it even fails to reach the limbo level low bar of sports administration generally.
With England due to arrive in South Africa in a fortnight, it offers up the enticing prospect of playing against a team whose governing body is even more crassly incompetent than their own, although in their favour they haven’t yet come up with an entirely new but unnecessary playing format.
Still, first things first – England do have a match to win this evening, and unlikely as it may be, the old favourite of a couple of quick wickets making it interesting will certainly apply.

Little Manfred
Michael Morpurgo Month – Little Manfred by Michael Morpurgo
March 25, 2016 March 14, 2016 / zackids / Leave a comment
March is Michael Morpurgo Month, a celebration of one of the best storytellers (and one of my favourite authors). Organised by Michael Morpurgo’s publisher, it is a chance to highlight the many wonderful stories that Michael has written. Here is one of my favourite Michael Morpurgo books.
I love both stories about war and stories about animals, which is my I love Michael Morpurgo. Most of his stories are about war or animals and sometimes both. His latest book is called Little Manfred and it’s about war, and a dog that sparks the memories of an old man.
It’s the summer of 1966 and Charley and her little brother, Alex, are walking their dog Manfred on the beach by their home when they notice two old men staring out to sea. When the two men discover that their dog is called Manfred, this sparks the memories of Walter and he tells the children about his experiences during World War II. Through Walter’s story, Charley and Alex learn about their mother’s past and her connection to Manfred, a German prisoner of war who was posted at her farmhouse when she was a little girl.
Michael Morpurgo has woven another amazing story of friendship, bravery, and forgiveness that transported me to another time and another place. Whenever I read a Michael Morpurgo book it’s almost as if he is sitting on my couch or in the library beside me, telling me the story, because I can hear his voice in my head. If you’ve ever seen one of his videos of him reading you’ll know that he’s got the perfect storytelling voice. Michael Foreman’s illustrations, once again, perfectly match the story because they can be bright and happy or dark and gloomy. I think Michael Morpurgo’s books are perfect for anyone and if you haven’t read any of his books, Little Manfred is a great one to start with. | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11758 | {"url": "https://bestfriendsarebooks.com/tag/little-manfred/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "bestfriendsarebooks.com", "date_download": "2023-03-31T10:23:16Z", "digest": "sha1:E4QE7VMYTH2REO6RKVQYSFCVWQG45YRX"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1919, 1919.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1919, 5753.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1919, 7.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1919, 66.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1919, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1919, 233.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1919, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1919, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1919, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1919, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1919, 0.4559194]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1919, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1919, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1919, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1919, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1919, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1919, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1919, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1919, 0.06800518]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1919, 0.02590674]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1919, 0.02072539]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1919, 0.01511335]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1919, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1919, 0.13350126]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1919, 0.49112426]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1919, 4.56804734]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1919, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1919, 4.74368211]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1919, 338.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 15, 0.0], [15, 75, 0.0], [75, 133, 0.0], [133, 423, 1.0], [423, 693, 1.0], [693, 1218, 1.0], [1218, 1919, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 15, 0.0], [15, 75, 0.0], [75, 133, 0.0], [133, 423, 0.0], [423, 693, 0.0], [693, 1218, 0.0], [1218, 1919, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 15, 2.0], [15, 75, 9.0], [75, 133, 10.0], [133, 423, 47.0], [423, 693, 51.0], [693, 1218, 95.0], [1218, 1919, 124.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 15, 0.0], [15, 75, 0.0], [75, 133, 0.23529412], [133, 423, 0.0], [423, 693, 0.0], [693, 1218, 0.00775194], [1218, 1919, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 15, 0.0], [15, 75, 0.0], [75, 133, 0.0], [133, 423, 0.0], [423, 693, 0.0], [693, 1218, 0.0], [1218, 1919, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 15, 0.13333333], [15, 75, 0.11666667], [75, 133, 0.05172414], [133, 423, 0.03793103], [423, 693, 0.02962963], [693, 1218, 0.03238095], [1218, 1919, 0.021398]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1919, 0.31219691]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1919, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1919, 0.01355088]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1919, -65.71818827]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1919, 25.82226802]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1919, -139.91419802]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1919, 14.0]]} |

First Model of an HPV-Induced Cancer in Fruit Flies; Advance May Accelerate Pathway Research & Enable Screening for Potential Drug Targets
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections in the United States and has been identified as a primary cause of cervical cancer in women. Now, an international team of researchers led by scientists from the University of Missouri has completed studies on fruit flies with a condition that mimics a form of HPV-induced cancer. The fly models the team developed may help scientists to understand the underlying mechanism by which this virus can cause cancer, as well as to identify potential drug treatments. The study was published online on August 18, 2016 in the open-access publication PLOS Pathogens. The article is titled “"A Drosophila Model of HPV E6-1 Induced Malignancy Reveals Essential Roles for Magi and the Insulin Receptor.” “This is the first model of an HPV-induced cancer in fruit flies," said Bing Zhang, Ph.D., Professor of Biological Sciences in the MU College of Arts and Science. "This new model will help scientists understand the molecular and biochemical pathways involved in tumor growth and malignancy caused by HPV, as well as screen for potential drug targets." Previous studies conducted in human cells and in mice have shown that the HPV enters the body through the skin and produces several oncoproteins, which are proteins that can transform a normal cell into a tumor cell. One of these viral oncoproteins, called E6, plays an important role during the later stages of tumor formation and metastasis. In the study, led by Mojgan Padash, Ph.D., a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Missouri, the researchers introduced the viral E6 oncoprotein, and a human protein that is necessary for E6-induced cancer, into fruit flies. The proteins caused severe abnormalities in the epithelial, or skin, cells of the fruit flies.

South Africa’s apartheid violence in the 80’ forced young men and women to sacrifice their youth to join military training in exile. Organisations like African National Congress and Pan Africanist Congress had set-up military bases in countries like Zambia, Angola, Tanzania etc. This was to prepare for the armed struggle for the liberation of their country. In the township of KwaMashu many young people had become politicaly active and had been joining their elder brothers in exile. In 1994 when a government of transition was put in place military wings were disbanded and most of these youths were left with no skill but to try and make it out of poverty where they had been returnes to after more than 4 years in exile training camps. Forgotten Guerrillas tells the story of this forgotten generation. Focusing in the L Section of KwaMashu where terrible acts of violence erupted between 1992-1996 where heavy machine guns where used in an urban area. This documentary traces the history of this violence through the section with the largest number of these trained young fighters who were fit to be guerrilla fighters but not fit to be drafted into the national military as soldiers. Phumlani Mhlongo is one of these young men who is still fighting social hardships without education. | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11773 | {"url": "https://blackpublicmedia.org/kwa-mashu-voices-the-forgotten-guerilla/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "blackpublicmedia.org", "date_download": "2023-03-31T08:37:37Z", "digest": "sha1:IWOAN2C6TWQHJVTP5GM42KV7246Y2HNS"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1292, 1292.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1292, 1595.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1292, 1.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1292, 23.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1292, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1292, 206.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1292, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1292, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1292, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1292, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1292, 0.44635193]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1292, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1292, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1292, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1292, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1292, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1292, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1292, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1292, 0.01408451]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1292, 0.01314554]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1292, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1292, 0.00429185]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1292, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1292, 0.08583691]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1292, 0.62325581]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1292, 4.95348837]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1292, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1292, 4.61131021]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1292, 215.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 1292, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 1292, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 1292, 215.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 1292, 0.01172791]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 1292, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 1292, 0.02089783]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1292, 0.97511989]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1292, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1292, 0.58267587]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1292, 10.39688649]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1292, 40.45705597]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1292, 26.4516418]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1292, 9.0]]} |
How Iceland Is Using Digital to Increase Public Participation in Politics

There are a few countries that immediately spring to mind when thinking about e-government, or the digital transformation of public services and using the internet to alter the relationship between the citizen and the state. Estonia is the poster child for this movement, with its digital voting platforms, e-residency for businesses and innovative information-sharing systems integrating the databases held by individual government departments. The UK’s Government Digital Service enjoys a prestigious reputation, having particular strengths in user-centred service design (full disclosure: I used to be on the Civil Service’s Digital Fast Stream, so may be slightly biased). Britain currently ranks fourth in the UN’s E-Government Ranking that measures the use of IT in delivering public services, coming in just behind Denmark, Australia and South Korea. However, there is a new (northern) light on the horizon when it comes to using digital for greater public involvement in politics: Iceland. So, what is the point of e-government? What can we learn from the Icelandic experience, and to what extent are the innovations in this small, rich, highly-developed nation replicable elsewhere?
Benefits and challenges of effective e-government
There are numerous benefits of e-government – when it’s done well. With digital platforms accessible 24/7, there is no longer any need to wait in a queue in an office somewhere that is only open 9-5, when many people are at work. Online platforms also allow people to log-in and check the status of their applications, rather than waiting hours on a phone line listening to tinny muzak. Linking up the databases held by different public agencies can allow for more holistic policy and service design, although there admittedly is a great challenge in connecting data when different organisations often hold data in different ways. E-government also has important benefits for transparency and political trust if the citizen can log in and see what information is being held on them. Citizens in Europe can maintain control over their personal data through the rights laid down under the EU’s GDPR regulations, including the right to opt-out of data being processed for any purpose without consent. Finally, from the perspective of government itself, an appealing prospect of going digital is the potential to reduce costs. Done well, this means money that would have been spent on physical infrastructure for processing information and applications can instead be redirected elsewhere. Digital platforms can also be used to encourage citizens to engage with decisions and to share their views on issues that affect them and their areas, thus leading to a more participatory democratic culture.

However, there are also many well-documented risks of trying to go digital. The NHS National Programme for IT started with the noble aims of integrating and digitally storing patient records currently held across the fragmented landscape of NHS organisations, allowing patients to book appointments online, and moving from paper to electronic prescriptions and records management. £10 billion later and the project is widely viewed as a total failure, with the blame being attributed to overly complex contracting of work to external providers, a lack of technical skills and understanding of digital at management level, inadequate planning and unreasonable timescales, and most crucially poor buy-in from end-users – in this case, particularly frontline NHS staff. The failure of the project shows the importance of engagement throughout the process – from initial scoping to delivery – and flexibility to incorporate user needs into the vision for the end product. In general, a shortage of digital skills holds back e-government; those with these precious skills frequently find that the private sector can offer much better salaries than the public sector can.
While digital can be used to increase transparency and improve trust, another risk can be public scepticism towards using digital platforms. Many people also lack basic digital skills – or even access to the internet. It can be easy to forget among all the excitement for digital that 10% of the UK population has never been online – three-quarters of whom are elderly and just under a quarter of whom are disabled, both of whom are the most vulnerable groups who are hence most likely to apply for support from the state. Take for example the DWP’s “Digital First” approach to new products such as Universal Credit. Many of those who need to apply are simply unable to do their applications online, either lacking digital skills or having no access to a smartphone or computer. DWP encourages these people to go to libraries to use computers there and ask for help from staff. And it’s true that libraries can offer this support – but the government has been starving the sector of funding, with the result that nearly 1 in 5 libraries has closed since 2010. There is also the question of whether it is appropriate to expect library staff to give support with filling out Universal Credit applications, given the sensitivity of this data and the importance of the result for the applicant.
Innovation on ice
The particular Icelandic experience of embracing digital has been in the sphere of civic engagement. The Citizens Foundation is a non-profit NGO that was founded after Iceland’s dramatic economic crash in 2008 that toppled the government and bankrupted the country. In the twelve years since, the Citizens Foundation has designed a series of platforms and tools to encourage greater public participation in politics at all levels. First came Better Reykjavik, designed in collaboration with Reykjavik City Council, that seeks to increase public trust in politics, participation in decision-making and improve the quality of public political debates. The success of the platform can be judged in that over 58% of the city’s population have used the site and today between 12-15% of the city’s population regularly use it – remarkable figures indeed in the world of engagement and consultation.

What has made the platform such a success? I met Robert Bjarnason, President of the Citizens Foundation, to find out. According to him, its success can be attributed to three things: embeddedness in the political process, tangible results, and constant advertising. Anyone can log on and submit ideas for policies or investments that other citizens then debate on. Through observing users, Robert experimented with removing the function for people to comment on each other’s posts – and found this almost erased the problem of threads devolving into arguments. Instead, those who log on have to present an argument for or against a proposal and can vote on it. The most popular proposals are then sent to Reykjavik City Council, where it is voted on in collaboration with neighbourhood councils. Provided they are feasible, the proposals are frequently enacted – to date, there have been 700 projects created from the ground-up, rather than top-down. Pictures of these successful projects create a positive feedback loop when used in advertising, showing citizens that the platform can deliver real change to their areas. These include things such as new, disability-friendly parks, cycle paths, the installation of water fountains, street art and lighting, mini-libraries at bus stops and cleaning up of graffiti.
The platform is not just for improvements to the physical realm, however. It has also been used to facilitate participatory budgeting, with 5% of the city’s capital investment budget reserved for projects that citizens themselves choose through the Better Neighbourhoods platform. Finally, the platform has recently been scaled up to Better Iceland and is being used in the ongoing constitutional revision efforts, which my team at the University of Iceland is working on, alongside the Prime Minister’s Office, to monitor the implementation of the revisions over the period 2018-2025. The Better Iceland platform, in particular, is a truly fascinating democratic experiment. Right now, hundreds of citizens are logging on to submit their ideas for what the Constitution of Iceland should say about issues such as the voting system, powers reserved to the President’s Office, public vs private ownership of natural resources, international cooperation and participation in transnational organisations – and “anything else” that springs to mind! This builds upon the use of crowdsourcing in the design of the earlier attempt to write a new constitution which was ultimately frustrated by political opposition – the full fascinating story of the “world’s first crowdsourced constitution” can be accessed here.

Is it replicable?
In a word: yes. Robert and the team at Citizens Foundation have been listed by the OECD as a leading example of digital innovation in the public sector. They have been invited to design platforms in other towns across Iceland and consulted on the launch of similar platforms in Madrid and Norway. In fact, the open-source code for the software has been officially used in over 20 countries, including in the digital trailblazer of Estonia. Closer to home, there is significant interest in Scotland; Dundee City Council has gone as far as piloting the scheme, and initial results are very encouraging. It turns out that there isn’t something unique about Icelandic culture that encourages civic engagement – it’s just having politicians with open minds and a real commitment to including the public in decisions. Of course, it is worth remembering the risks that were outlined above in using digital technology, especially with regards to access to the hardware and digital skills required. Moreover, my one criticism of the Better Reykjavik movement is that more could be done to include migrant communities in the process. While there is a Google Translate add-on to the site, my own personal opinion is that more outreach work could be done. Perhaps some space on the site could even be reserved for specific issues affecting the country’s growing population of non-ethnic Icelanders?
However, we are talking here about refining the design of a tool that is working well and is clearly changing political culture for the better by opening it up to the public to participate more fully in. The only real barrier appears to be political will. Is it too optimistic to hope that one day a Better Britain platform will be used to develop a totally open, transparent, citizen-led constitution for the UK?

Some Context for Our Project
Space exploration is experiencing a renaissance – with the ascendancy of SpaceX and many of the less prominent but no less motivated independent space companies, ongoing nanosatellite boom, rising ambitions of Chinese Space Agency and the fact that more rockets launched in 2018 than ever before since 1991 the new Space Age is clearly upon us.
We all have rejoiced watching the successes of the participants – be it the first launch of Falcon Heavy, test flights of new manned spacecraft from SpaceX and Boeing, new Chinese and Indian interplanetary missions as well as many successful NASA and ESA missions. The privileged few of us have been not just watching, but actively participating in the space exploration research and engineering activities – students, scientists, aerospace industry professionals or civil servants in national space agencies.
However, the vast majority of people excited about new space adventures have only limited options in doing something space-related. Amateur radio enthusiasts can listen for satellite telemetry and people with data science and programming skills can work with data from satellite instruments. But it takes many years of dedicated training and experience to become an astronaut or aerospace engineer even for most talented people. Similarly, entrepreneurship in space industry requires exceptional level of determination and access to significant capital funds – neither Elon Musk, nor Jeff Bezos didn’t start their companies using just “lunch money”. People in disadvantaged communities and living in countries that lack national space agency or strong aerospace industry are very limited in their ability to contribute to the global space exploration efforts.
So there is clearly a problem to solve – remove or reduce the entry barriers of modern space industry for people wanting to become part of it, but currently lacking opportunities to do so.

Turning a Nobel Prize to a Chinese for Artemisinin Into a Eulogy for Traditional Chinese Medicine?
October 18, 2015 by Mr. Allen Leave a Comment
A couple of weeks ago, Tu Youyou became the first Chinese national to win the Nobel Prize in Medicine "for her discoveries concerning a novel therapy against Malaria." (Tu had already won the Lasker Award a few years ago for the same work, and had described her work this way.) There were cheers and hopes that with the prize, more people would become aware of Traditional … [Read more...] about Turning a Nobel Prize to a Chinese for Artemisinin Into a Eulogy for Traditional Chinese Medicine?

The Fall of the Berlin Wall on our Mind…
The Fall of the Berlin some 20 years ago is again on the mind of many. According to the NYTimes, "[t]he historical legacy of 1989, when the Berlin Wall fell and the cold war thawed, is as political as the upheavals of that decisive year." For many in the West, the events of 1989 represents the ultimate triumph of the West over East - of democratic, capitalistic liberalism over … [Read more...] about The Fall of the Berlin Wall on our Mind… | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11778 | {"url": "https://blog.hiddenharmonies.org/tag/ideologies/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "blog.hiddenharmonies.org", "date_download": "2023-03-31T10:21:19Z", "digest": "sha1:GUMKAKEN5XD7F3LCIEJNBMQ2ETJUJYWW"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1593, 1593.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1593, 6277.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1593, 8.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1593, 58.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1593, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1593, 263.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1593, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1593, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1593, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1593, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1593, 0.43030303]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1593, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1593, 0.13099042]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1593, 0.19648562]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1593, 0.18210863]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1593, 0.18210863]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1593, 0.18210863]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1593, 0.18210863]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1593, 0.01597444]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1593, 0.0215655]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1593, 0.03354633]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1593, 0.01818182]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1593, 0.25]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1593, 0.15151515]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1593, 0.50694444]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1593, 4.34722222]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1593, 0.02727273]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1593, 4.6022572]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1593, 288.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 99, 1.0], [99, 145, 0.0], [145, 640, 1.0], [640, 659, 0.0], [659, 695, 0.0], [695, 1109, 0.0], [1109, 1150, 0.0], [1150, 1593, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 99, 0.0], [99, 145, 0.0], [145, 640, 0.0], [640, 659, 0.0], [659, 695, 0.0], [695, 1109, 0.0], [1109, 1150, 0.0], [1150, 1593, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 99, 16.0], [99, 145, 9.0], [145, 640, 86.0], [640, 659, 3.0], [659, 695, 8.0], [695, 1109, 76.0], [1109, 1150, 9.0], [1150, 1593, 81.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 99, 0.0], [99, 145, 0.13953488], [145, 640, 0.0], [640, 659, 0.0], [659, 695, 0.18181818], [695, 1109, 0.0], [1109, 1150, 0.0], [1150, 1593, 0.02352941]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 99, 0.0], [99, 145, 0.0], [145, 640, 0.0], [640, 659, 0.0], [659, 695, 0.0], [695, 1109, 0.0], [1109, 1150, 0.0], [1150, 1593, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 99, 0.1010101], [99, 145, 0.10869565], [145, 640, 0.04848485], [640, 659, 0.10526316], [659, 695, 0.11111111], [695, 1109, 0.02657005], [1109, 1150, 0.12195122], [1150, 1593, 0.04288939]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1593, 0.01200211]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1593, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1593, 0.03903461]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1593, -42.41851882]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1593, 14.39638708]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1593, -41.30590117]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1593, 16.0]]} |
The Luther Decade, An Epic 10-Year Event
Filed in Culture & Art, Dream Trips, Events
Starting back in 2008 Germany has been getting ready for the 500th anniversary of the Reformation on October 31, 2017. Yes, that’s right it’s an event ten years in the making, six years to go still.
Each year leading up to the epic event has all sorts of symposiums, festivals, movies, and other events in villages and towns that were important places in the life Martin Luther. A most remarkable man, if I do say so myself.
What is also remarkable are the folks who’ve created this decade long event, have even implemented theme years; each with their own special events. Stat tuned with me, I’ll keep you posted about many of the events throughout the upcoming years.
If you’re going to make your way through many of the towns that were instrumental in the Protestant Reformation sweeping Germany, you better make sure you’re here for a while.
I would start in the town of Wittenberg, where it all started. It was here in Wittenberg at the Castle Church that Martin nailed his 95-theses to the door looking for, well, reform of the Catholic Church.
No, scratch that. I guess it all started in Eisleben where he was born. Then again, Erfurt is where he lived as a monk, so here’s a town that was instrumental in the shaping of Luther’s life.
Some other places in the life of Luther weren’t so much as important in his work, as in his early life. He went to school in Magdeburg and lived in Mansfeld for a time.
Whichever route you choose to follow, like (but not limited to) the Lutherweg or the Luther Pilgerweg, it doesn’t really matter because the Center for Spiritual Tourism in Thuringia (it opened on July 3, 2011) is here to help you along the way.
I don’t think you need to be on some spiritual quest to enjoy the events of the Luther Decade. No, even if all you do is enjoy it for history’s sake; you’ll certainly learn quite a bit about the man who changed history and influenced the lives of millions of people.

MERCEDES-BENZ EXTENDS INRIX OFF-STREET PARKING TO C-CLASS AND S-CLASS IN EUROPE AND U.S.
Drivers can now easily find, compare and navigate to available off-street parking spaces using the COMAND® infotainment system
Kirkland, WA – Sept. X, 2016 – INRIX, Inc., the world leader in connected car services and location analytics, today announced that its Off-Street Parking service is now available in the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and S-Classes in Europe and the U.S. INRIX offers the most accurate real-time and dynamic parking information for garage location, number of spaces, detailed rates and current occupancy levels. In June, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class became the first subsidiary of Daimler AG to integrate INRIX Off-Street Parking into vehicles.
“INRIX continues to be the preferred supplier of connected car services to leading automakers,” said Andreas Hecht, executive vice president and general manager of automotive at INRIX. “The addition of INRIX Off-Street Parking in Mercedes-Benz sedans is a testament to the caliber of our technology and data, and has cemented INRIX as the largest provider of embedded in-car parking information globally.”
INRIX Off-Street Parking is the world’s most comprehensive and accurate parking database that includes more than 29 million confirmed spaces in over 90,000 accessible locations spanning 4,000 cities in more than 60 countries. The service only displays publicly accessible, non-restricted parking spaces, including both free and paid locations, so users are never misrouted to locations that are unavailable to the general public. In fact, SBD, a global automotive technology research firm, concluded that INRIX was the “clear winner” in an independent off-street parking study that looked at essential parking attributes in Germany and the U.S.
INRIX launched the industry’s first dynamic off-street parking service in 2013, followed by the first integrated on-street parking solution in June 2015. In August 2015, INRIX acquired ParkMe, a leader in parking location, availability and reservations worldwide. INRIX is the preferred provider of parking information and services to leading automakers, transportation agencies and drivers around the world.
INRIX is the global leader in connected car services and movement analytics, a new approach that leverages big data and the cloud to help manage urban mobility. By aggregating a variety of sources and applying intelligence, INRIX delivers comprehensive data and solutions to help move people, cities and businesses forward.
Our partners are automakers, governments, mobile operators, developers, advertisers, as well as enterprises large and small. We are literally everywhere with over 450 customers across 65 countries. | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11780 | {"url": "https://blog.parknews.biz/2016/09/mercedes-benz-extends-inrix-off-street-parking-c-class-s-class-europe-u-s/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "blog.parknews.biz", "date_download": "2023-03-31T08:57:36Z", "digest": "sha1:EJCAWSENVCE2UJXVJDHCNE37Y7PL3GJO"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2730, 2730.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2730, 4394.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2730, 8.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2730, 30.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2730, 0.93]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2730, 247.0]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2730, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2730, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2730, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2730, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2730, 0.28571429]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2730, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2730, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2730, 0.02750665]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2730, 0.02750665]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2730, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2730, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2730, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2730, 0.05678793]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2730, 0.03726708]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2730, 0.01774623]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2730, 0.08610568]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2730, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2730, 0.18590998]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2730, 0.52985075]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2730, 5.60696517]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2730, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2730, 4.86672659]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2730, 402.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 89, 1.0], [89, 216, 0.0], [216, 749, 1.0], [749, 1155, 1.0], [1155, 1800, 1.0], [1800, 2209, 1.0], [2209, 2533, 1.0], [2533, 2730, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 89, 0.0], [89, 216, 0.0], [216, 749, 0.0], [749, 1155, 0.0], [1155, 1800, 0.0], [1800, 2209, 0.0], [2209, 2533, 0.0], [2533, 2730, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 89, 13.0], [89, 216, 18.0], [216, 749, 81.0], [749, 1155, 61.0], [1155, 1800, 95.0], [1800, 2209, 57.0], [2209, 2533, 50.0], [2533, 2730, 27.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 89, 0.0], [89, 216, 0.0], [216, 749, 0.00784314], [749, 1155, 0.0], [1155, 1800, 0.02066773], [1800, 2209, 0.03015075], [2209, 2533, 0.0], [2533, 2730, 0.02631579]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 89, 0.0], [89, 216, 0.0], [216, 749, 0.0], [749, 1155, 0.0], [1155, 1800, 0.0], [1800, 2209, 0.0], [2209, 2533, 0.0], [2533, 2730, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 89, 0.78651685], [89, 216, 0.05511811], [216, 749, 0.08442777], [749, 1155, 0.06896552], [1155, 1800, 0.03255814], [1800, 2209, 0.04889976], [2209, 2533, 0.03395062], [2533, 2730, 0.01015228]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2730, 0.82602918]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2730, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2730, 0.68653584]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2730, -186.32437426]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2730, 29.13131255]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2730, -4.60608916]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2730, 21.0]]} |

Favorite Photo Locations – Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge
Posted on Jul 9, 2011 | 0 comments
While Chincoteague, Virginia, is probably most widely known for its wild horses, the area is well-known as a birding Mecca. Photographers will find spectacular opportunities for all kinds of avian species. During spring and fall migrations, the numbers of birds and the variety of species is incredible. Throughout the late spring and summer, a great variety of shore birds are present.
Along the main drive through Chincoteague NWR, visitors can enjoy watching Great Egrets, Snowy Egrets, Glossy Ibises, and a variety of other birds feeding on fish, crabs, and other animals abounding in the salt marshes. Morning is the best time of the day for activity, but one location along the east side of the road (about ½ mile past the visitor’s center) is excellent all day, especially with late day light.
As you position yourself to shoot, try to set up your tripod near water level. Photographing birds from above is less effective than shooting on their eye-level. My lens of choice is Sigma’s 150-500mm F5-6.3 APO DG OS HSM zoom. The zoom range allows you to focus on birds that are close at hand—and they can be within 20 feet!–and those subjects a bit further away. Indeed, many of the herons, egrets, and ibises are quite habituated, so you can get really close.

I shoot with my long lenses on a sturdy tripod and use the Wimberley Head Version II, a remarkably easy to use gimbal head. This tripod/gimbal head combination improves stability and makes panning for in-flight shots of turns and gulls a piece of cake.
From Washington, D. C., or Baltimore, MD, head southeast on US 50 to Rout 13 South. Pick up Route 175, traveling east to Chincoteague Island. Cross the island on Maddox Blvd., following the signs to the National Wildlife Refuge.
If time allows, travel about an hour North to Assateague State Park and Assateague National Seashore for more birds (and even more encounters with wild horses).

Photographing a World Within a World

by Joshua Haruni—
As a photojournalist, I became curious about the resurgence of the “Practical Kabbalah” amongst mainstream Israeli Jews and was intrigued as to why, at the end of the 20th century, educated people with full access to modern medicine, technology, the law and democracy were turning to religious scholars and ascetics for help as if none of the above existed.
I knew from my Jewish upbringing that the study and practice of Kabbalah was definitely not mainstream and very restricted; yet growing numbers of Israeli Jews from every type of background were in search of previously unknown Kabbalists for help in healing sickness, for business and legal advice and to receive blessings or amulets for general well-being.
Throughout hundreds of years of Jewish history there have only ever been a handful of Rabbis who were publicly identified as Kabbalists. So who were these ‘new’ Kabbalists and what were they offering? I needed someone to help me access these Rabbis and explain what I was doing so I could receive permission to photograph, which was strictly forbidden. Ultra religious Jews, such as the Hassidim, view such behaviour as an invasion of their privacy and it upsets them to think that they are viewed as particularly exotic or even bizarre.
The person who agreed to help me came from a very prominent ultra religious Hassidic family from the community of Pinsk-Karlin. As work progressed on the Kabbalist reportage, my Hassidic ‘fixer’ would suggest that I come along to events at his community, which eventually would lead to my photographing the Hassidic way of life.
Despite being told by my Hassidic friend that I could enter and take some pictures, my habit of getting physically close to my subjects combined with their inherent suspicion of photographers was not received very well. Initially I experienced an enormous amount of hostility, spending a good two years of turning up to communal events uninvited and unwanted. Within a minute of entering any Hassidic event at least one person would take me aside and lead me to the exit telling me “Do Not Photograph.”
On one occasion when I made contact with one particular Hassidic community I was put in touch with a very charming American Hassid, whose English was perfect. We had a very open and frank discussion about what I was doing and he gave me the impression that taking photographs would not be a problem– as long as I was sensitive and discreet.
When we eventually met at his synagogue we continued our discussion to the point that I felt I could begin photographing. However, the moment I picked up my camera, he grabbed my arm and asked incredulously what I thought I was doing. I reminded him that we had an understanding and he explained that the understanding was with him only but I couldn’t just walk in and photograph what I wanted.
It was by virtue of my friend and his status within his own community that my presence was barely tolerated but even he couldn’t protect me from being splashed with tea, pushed around or being shouted at in public. Whilst I had expected resistance, I found myself getting irritated and sometimes miserable by the degree of unpleasantness with which Hassidim would interact with me. Clearly however, it was not unpleasant enough for me to stay away altogether!
Within about two years of my first encounter with the Pinsk Karlin Hassidim I received a call from the Rebbe’s (Rabbi’s) beadle (assistant), who happened to be my friend’s nephew. He suggested that I come to the Rebbe’s apartment in Bnei Berak to photograph him lighting Hannukah candles. You can imagine how conspicuous I felt photographing in a small room with about 30 Hassidim feeling very protective about their Rabbi. After taking a few pictures, I decided to leave but as I made my way out of the apartment, the beadle ran after me and asked if I minded giving the Rebbe a lift to a bar mitzvah, nearby.
Naturally, I was happy to drive the Rebbe. What I didn’t expect was the number of Hassidim trying to get into my car as the Rebbe sat himself in the passenger seat. As we drove, the Rebbe began talking to me and asking me, very kindly, about what it was I was doing. Naturally I told him about what being a photojournalist means and that I was interested in photographing the Hassidic way of life in a way that was as honest and objective as possible. I also mentioned that a number of totally secular Jews, who had seen my photographs, had reacted in a very positive way and that it had encouraged them to be more proactive in their religious observance (which is absolutely true).
The Rebbe showed real interest in what I was doing and asked if I minded waiting for him to continue the conversation. Funnily enough, as I waited for the Rebbe, a young bloke waiting outside the function hall asked me how much I made driving the Rebbe and whether I thought he should invest in a car with which to drive Rabbis. Apparently this is a business in itself in the ultra-orthodox world.
In any event the Rebbe returned with his entourage and we drove home during which we spoke some more. Our parting was very pleasant and he made a very positive impression me. Needless to say, being asked for a lift by the Rebbe, made a positive impression on his Hassidim.
Two days later, I received a phone call asking me if I was interested in coming to a Hannukah Tisch (celebration) at the Pinsk-Karlin synagogue. I arrived a little late whilst the Rebbe was giving a talk. Sure enough, I climbed the bleachers and squeezed myself in between two Hassidim who simultaneously told me not to photograph. Incredibly however, as I settled in amongst them, the Rebbe paused speaking, looked up at me and raised his hand in a greeting of “Shulem” (Shalom/welcome). Within seconds, the Hassidim either side of me told me that I could photograph and even asked if they could help hold some equipment.
From that evening on, I was left alone. This did not mean that every Hassid liked what I did or even approved of me being around with a camera but it meant that the Hassidim began to relax around me, which in turn created the necessary space in which to develop relationships and to photograph more intimately. I should mention that I believe that up until then, the Rebbe never instructed his Hassidim to behave towards me in one way or the other.
I would shoot with three camera bodies and fixed lenses. Two Leica M6s; one with a 35mm/f1.4 aspherical lens and the other with a 21mm/f2.8 lens. The third body was a Nikon F100 with an 85mm/f1.4 lens. All of these lenses demand that you think about what you are shooting and consider exactly where to be in whichever environment you are.
It took eight years of work, from 1996-2004 to complete my documentation of the Hassidic community but with the exception of a small exhibition in New York, the initial reaction to this work was very, very neutral. It generated absolutely no interest at all from any publication, and so I filed the images away and forgot about them.
Years later, and no longer a photojournalist, I was on a business trip to Hong Kong where quite by chance I bumped into Danny Chau, who had been my printer in London. We chatted and re-connected and discussed these particular images, which Danny had always liked.
I had shot everything on B&W film (mainly with Tri-X Pan as it I found it to be very versatile and quite forgiving) so on my frequent trips to HK, I brought batches of negatives to his studio for scanning. Once I had edited through pages of negatives I was able to look at the work differently.
Looking at these images, people often remark at how they present a glimpse into a world that existed hundreds of years ago in Poland. So, in much the same way early photographers would hand paint their prints and postcards, I asked Danny to add subtle colours to the prints. Needless to say, I was very happy with the results and also pleased to turn my collection into a book, Do Not Photograph, that I hope will give readers insight into a different, but fascinating way of life that captured my imagination when I first became acquainted with it.
Joshua Haruni, 51, is a London-born photographer, currently living in Jerusalem. After earning a distinction in Professional Photography Practice at the London College of Printing in 1995, he began working as a freelance reportage photographer, doing assignments around the world. Visit his website to see more of his work and purchase fine arts prints.
Do Not Photograph (2018) is a 303-page, fine arts, hardcover retrospective of Joshua’s photography from within the closed and hitherto rarely photographed Hassidic and Kabbalistic communities of Jerusalem. Each of the more-than 100 images is annotated in a special glossary section to provide both historical and contemporary prospective to an esoteric belief system and way of life that has endured without significant changes for hundreds of years.

Jefferson’s Children
By Rebecca KoerselmanNovember 21, 20224 Comments
Historical fiction is a tricky trope. We have information from the past, but are usually missing quite a few pieces. It is fun to fill in the gaps in logical or imaginative ways, but occasionally misleading, more interesting, more realistic, or more problematic. For example, there isn’t anything in the historical record to confirm that Abraham Lincoln was, in fact, a slayer of vampires. But I understand the appeal of the storyline.
I recently read Jefferson’s Sons: A Founding Father’s Secret Children, by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley. The book is aimed at a young adult audience, and creates a story around Thomas Jefferson, his slave, Sally Hemings, and Jefferson’s four surviving children with Sally Hemings: William Beverly, Harriet, James Madison, and Thomas Eston. The historical record is very clear that Sally Hemings had four children while she was enslaved at Monticello, that these children were quite white in their appearance, resembled Thomas Jefferson, and were freed by Thomas Jefferson – the older two children allowed to leave in 1822 and the other two freed in his will. Sally Hemings was not freed by Jefferson, but permitted to leave Monticello by Jefferson’s daughter after Jefferson’s death, and lived with her sons in Charlottesville, VA.
The historical record is also clear that there were substantial rumors about Thomas Jefferson and his slave, Sally Hemings. In 1802, as Jefferson ran for president of the United States, journalist James T. Callender, wrote in a Richmond, VA newspaper that Jefferson “kept as a concubine, one of his slaves,” named Sally, and that Jefferson had several children with her. Sally Hemings left no written accounts, as far as we know. In the 1990s, DNA evidence showed conclusively that Thomas Jefferson fathered children with Sally Hemings.
Teaching about slavery is difficult for a 21st century audience. But for me, the hardest part to understand is the day to day life and the intimacy of life among the slaves and their owners. The historical record often indicated the appearance of slaves. But rarely does the historical record clearly indicate the white fathers of enslaved children. And yet, we know it happened regularly. It’s hard to imagine living with slaves. And slaves that have children, and many of them look white. Or look like the master. Or his son. Or his brother. It’s the secret that everyone knows, but very few say anything about it. Everyone whispers about who is the father. Most people notice family resemblances. And yet the historical record is largely quiet about this common practice.
Frederick Douglass, in his Narrative, published in 1845, said this: “my father was a white man. He was admitted to be such by all I ever heard speak of my parentage. The opinion was also whispered that my master was my father; but of the correctness of this opinion, I know nothing.” Douglass goes on to give this commentary about the practice of fathering slaves: “the whisper that my master was my father may or may not be true; and, true or false, it is of but little consequence to my purpose whilst the fact remains, in all its glaring odiousness, that slaveholders have ordained, and by law established, that the children of slave women shall in all cases follow the condition of their mothers; and this is done too obviously to administer to their own lusts, and make a gratification of their wicked desires profitable as well as pleasurable; for by this cunning arrangement, the slaveholder, in cases not a few, sustains to his slaves the double relation of master and father.” Everyone noticed. You had to work very hard to not notice this practice and the historical record reflects some evidence of biracial children, but officially fails to acknowledge this practice. This also makes it easy for some to deny the practice ever happened.
Thomas Jefferson allowed for the freedom of his enslaved children, but this was a rare occurrence. I wish that Sally Hemings wrote her own story, but she didn’t. Or, if she did, it was not preserved.

Ah, how many stories of the vulnerable ( slaves, women, working poor ) were not preserved. We would be richer for them.
Once more, thank you for your work. Having just come back from the Holy Land with the “She is Called” group, I really lament the absence of the female narrative.
James C Dekker says:
One more example of the “Victor” writing oting history?
Pamela Spiertz Adams says:
Rebecca, I have heard this story many times and it strikes me as extra fodder to add to our country’s BIG SIN which is slavery. Very sad first for the slavery and second for not freeing people you were so close to. Of course, we have to think there was some closeness-how could it not be. | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11783 | {"url": "https://blog.reformedjournal.com/2022/11/21/jeffersons-children/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "blog.reformedjournal.com", "date_download": "2023-03-31T10:31:20Z", "digest": "sha1:JKNDKNX2PSWZRQ26W4EC5TJI3BX4CPPL"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 4962, 4962.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 4962, 6503.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 4962, 20.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 4962, 112.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 4962, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 4962, 276.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 4962, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 4962, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 4962, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 4962, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 4962, 0.42163802]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 4962, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 4962, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 4962, 0.01150288]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 4962, 0.01150288]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 4962, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 4962, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 4962, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 4962, 0.024006]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 4962, 0.03325831]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 4962, 0.01575394]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 4962, 0.01617796]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 4962, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 4962, 0.15470172]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 4962, 0.45114596]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 4962, 4.8238842]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 4962, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 4962, 5.3447014]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 4962, 829.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 21, 0.0], [21, 70, 0.0], [70, 506, 1.0], [506, 1334, 1.0], [1334, 1871, 1.0], [1871, 2646, 1.0], [2646, 3895, 1.0], [3895, 4095, 1.0], [4095, 4126, 0.0], [4126, 4145, 0.0], [4145, 4224, 1.0], [4224, 4253, 0.0], [4253, 4270, 0.0], [4270, 4288, 0.0], [4288, 4408, 1.0], [4408, 4570, 1.0], [4570, 4591, 0.0], [4591, 4647, 1.0], [4647, 4674, 0.0], [4674, 4962, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 21, 0.0], [21, 70, 0.0], [70, 506, 0.0], [506, 1334, 0.0], [1334, 1871, 0.0], [1871, 2646, 0.0], [2646, 3895, 0.0], [3895, 4095, 0.0], [4095, 4126, 0.0], [4126, 4145, 0.0], [4145, 4224, 0.0], [4224, 4253, 0.0], [4253, 4270, 0.0], [4270, 4288, 0.0], [4288, 4408, 0.0], [4408, 4570, 0.0], [4570, 4591, 0.0], [4591, 4647, 0.0], [4647, 4674, 0.0], [4674, 4962, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 21, 2.0], [21, 70, 6.0], [70, 506, 72.0], [506, 1334, 130.0], [1334, 1871, 86.0], [1871, 2646, 131.0], [2646, 3895, 216.0], [3895, 4095, 36.0], [4095, 4126, 6.0], [4126, 4145, 2.0], [4145, 4224, 11.0], [4224, 4253, 3.0], [4253, 4270, 2.0], [4270, 4288, 3.0], [4288, 4408, 20.0], [4408, 4570, 30.0], [4570, 4591, 4.0], [4591, 4647, 9.0], [4647, 4674, 4.0], [4674, 4962, 56.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 21, 0.0], [21, 70, 0.14893617], [70, 506, 0.0], [506, 1334, 0.00495663], [1334, 1871, 0.01535509], [1871, 2646, 0.0026455], [2646, 3895, 0.00327869], [3895, 4095, 0.0], [4095, 4126, 0.0], [4126, 4145, 0.0], [4145, 4224, 0.0], [4224, 4253, 0.0], [4253, 4270, 0.0], [4270, 4288, 0.0], [4288, 4408, 0.0], [4408, 4570, 0.0], [4570, 4591, 0.0], [4591, 4647, 0.0], [4647, 4674, 0.0], [4674, 4962, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 21, 0.0], [21, 70, 0.0], [70, 506, 0.0], [506, 1334, 0.0], [1334, 1871, 0.0], [1871, 2646, 0.0], [2646, 3895, 0.0], [3895, 4095, 0.0], [4095, 4126, 0.0], [4126, 4145, 0.0], [4145, 4224, 0.0], [4224, 4253, 0.0], [4253, 4270, 0.0], [4270, 4288, 0.0], [4288, 4408, 0.0], [4408, 4570, 0.0], [4570, 4591, 0.0], [4591, 4647, 0.0], [4647, 4674, 0.0], [4674, 4962, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 21, 0.0952381], [21, 70, 0.10204082], [70, 506, 0.01834862], [506, 1334, 0.05193237], [1334, 1871, 0.05214153], [1871, 2646, 0.01806452], [2646, 3895, 0.00880705], [3895, 4095, 0.03], [4095, 4126, 0.12903226], [4126, 4145, 0.10526316], [4145, 4224, 0.10126582], [4224, 4253, 0.13793103], [4253, 4270, 0.17647059], [4270, 4288, 0.11111111], [4288, 4408, 0.01666667], [4408, 4570, 0.04320988], [4570, 4591, 0.14285714], [4591, 4647, 0.03571429], [4647, 4674, 0.11111111], [4674, 4962, 0.03472222]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 4962, 0.60650212]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 4962, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 4962, 0.37738031]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 4962, 5.14023535]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 4962, 93.82844885]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 4962, -189.76666252]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 4962, 48.0]]} |
Bruegel Painting In Vienna Spurs Argument Over Allegations of Nazi Looting in Poland
Posted by Nicholas O'Donnell on October 28, 2015 at 10:03 AM
Most often in restitution battles the disagreement boils down to whether a painting was looted, and/or whether it changed hands under circumstances that failed to pass clear title to the predecessor of its current possessor. Then, controversy frequently ensues about the extent to which the possessor resists restitution on grounds other than the title of the painting (jurisdiction, statute of limitations, etc.). Rarer is the type of dispute where the parties don’t even agree about what they’re disagreeing about, like the one brewing between Austria and Poland over a painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder that hangs in the Kunsthistorisches Museum (KHM) in Vienna, The Fight Between Carnival and Lent (1559).

Expect Us talks activism and racial injustice during digital panel
Feb/22/2021 | POSTED BY Burk Krohe
The digital panel was part of the University of Missouri–St. Louis’ Black History Month programming. Panelists Rasheen Aldridge, Ohun Ashe and Cheyenne Green touched on their history with Expect Us, the motivations behind their activism and how protests have affected change. (Screenshot)
In 2017, the acquittal of former St. Louis police officer Jason Stockley for the shooting death of Anthony Lamar Smith sparked a month-long wave of protests in the city, as many perceived the acquittal for the shooting of an unarmed Black man by a white police officer as proof of racial injustice.
Expect Us, a coalition of local activists and organizers, coordinated many of protests and was crucial to the sustained direct-action efforts, even if they didn’t quite know what to call themselves yet.
“We were just people coming together and wanting to organize,” Expect Us Organizer Ohun Ashe said. “During one of the meetings, we kept saying ‘Expect us,’ and (former Missouri State Representative) Bruce Franks is the one that said, ‘We should call ourselves Expect Us!’ It was just an ‘aha’ moment in the room. That was the perfect title for what we were doing.”
Ashe recounted the origins of the group Thursday during “A Conversation with Expect US STL!” The digital panel was part of the University of Missouri–St. Louis’ Black History Month programming and sponsored by the University Program Board.
Moderator Lynn Staley, an associate teaching professor of English and assistant director of the Gender Studies Program, led a discussion about local activism and racial injustice with Ashe, Cheyenne Green and State Representative Rasheen Aldridge, who are also part of Expect Us.
They each touched on their history with the group, the motivations behind their activism and how they’ve used protests to affect change.
Though Expect Us came together in 2017, earlier events spurred each of the panelists to fight injustice. For Ashe and Green, the shooting death of Michael Brown in 2014 was a turning point. At the time, they both lived close to the location of the shooting, and the response from the community made a lasting impact.
“Seeing people, who didn’t even know this young boy, crying and being so passionate about someone that they didn’t know, I wasn’t used to that in my community,” Green said. “Seeing people organically come together for someone they didn’t know was something that stuck with me.”
Aldridge said the disparity in resources between his neighborhood in the city and communities in St. Louis County spurred his activism and eventual entry into politics.
“What really opened up my eyes to injustice was the reality that I lived in, living in a community where I didn’t have a neighborhood park, where I didn’t have a library,” he said. “But I would go to a county school and the world was totally different.”
By the time of the Stockley trial, many local activists had connected with each other through the Ferguson protests. Ashe said people started contacting each other because they wanted to be proactive in the event of a not-guilty verdict.
When Stockley was acquitted, Expect Us was quickly able to put together protests, including several at the St. Louis Galleria. These were meant to disrupt commerce at the mall, and with profits on the line, the group reasoned people would be more likely to pay attention.
“We know that this country cares about the mighty dollar, sometimes over people,” Alridge said. “Black people are a huge impact on making this economy function, so we want to make sure we hit them in an economic way where they can feel us.”
Economic protests have been one of Expect Us’ most effective tools over the past several years. The group has also had success organizing events at the State Capitol to oppose legislation it determines will be detrimental to Black communities in Missouri.
Last summer, Expect Us’ work continued after the shooting deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor by police, which caused renewed cries for police reform and an end to systemic racism. This was accompanied by one of the largest movements for racial justice in the history of the country.
Ashe said it led many people to attend a protest for the first time and take their first steps toward activism. She added that Expect Us was happy to be there for those people and tried to create a welcoming environment.
“It gives people that first step,” she said. “The experience of ‘OK, so, they’re not lying, they’re not making this up, this is happening, this is true.’ If it’s happening at this protest where we are gathering saying that Black people matter, imagine what’s happening to Black people in our communities who don’t have the support of the people around them at all times. I think that’s something else that’s very special about Expect Us, and protest work in general, that real eye-opening experience that it gives people.”
Staley wrapped up the hour-long discussion with a difficult question, asking the panelists what one concrete change they would like to see to improve the condition of Black Americans.
Given a recent NPR report that says police officers have fatally shot at least 135 unarmed Black men and women nationwide since 2015 and that 75 percent of those police officers were white, Green gave a blunt but relevant answer.
“It’s really simple for us, I think. Stop killing us,” she said. “That’s it. That’s all I want to see.”

Construction projects are complex endeavors that involve multiple parties, including owners, contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers. With so many stakeholders involved, disputes are bound to arise. These disputes can range from minor disagreements over scheduling to major issues involving contract disputes or safety concerns. As a result, it is vital to know how to handle these disputes effectively to avoid costly delays and construction legal issues.
Among the most common causes of disputes on construction sites is miscommunication. To avoid this, it is essential to communicate clearly and frequently with all parties involved in the project. This includes regularly updating schedules, budgets, and other critical project details. It is also essential to document all communication to avoid any disputes in the future.
Follow the Contract
Another common cause of disputes on construction sites is a misunderstanding or misinterpretation of the contract. It is essential to follow the contract's terms and conditions carefully to avoid this. This includes understanding the scope of work, the payment schedule, and any change order procedures. If a dispute arises, consult a construction attorney to review the contract and determine the best action.
Address Safety Concerns
Safety concerns are another common cause of disputes on construction sites. To avoid safety issues, it is crucial to implement safety protocols and ensure that all workers are properly trained. If a safety concern arises, it should be addressed immediately to avoid any accidents or injuries. Consult with a reliable firm that offers real estate attorney services to determine the best course of action if necessary.
Address Change Orders
Change orders are another common cause of disputes on construction sites. A change order is a written agreement that modifies the original contract. If a change order is necessary, it should be properly documented and signed by all parties involved. Failure to do so can result in disputes and legal issues.
Seek Legal Advice
If a dispute arises on a construction site, it is essential to seek legal advice from a construction attorney who can help you comprehend your legal rights and provide guidance on the best course of action. They can also help you negotiate a settlement or represent you in court if necessary.
Disputes are common on construction sites, but they can be avoided and resolved with proper communication, adherence to the contract, and a focus on safety.

Comedian Yakov Smirnoff
Mar 2, 2023 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM
After escaping communist Soviet Union in the 1977, Yakov came to the United States with nothing but a dream. Before even learning the language, Yakov humbly began working as a bartender at the famous Grossinger’s Catskill Resort in New York, where he started telling jokes to his customers each night. As his English improved, he quickly grew in popularity. He made a daring move to Hollywood where the owner of The Comedy Store, Mitzi Shore, spotted him and advised him to stay. She told him, “There is always a place for good and different.”
His lovable view of life through the eyes of a poor immigrant captured the hearts of America. He soared to the top of the comedy world, performing on “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson” and countless other television programs, including as a regular character on “Night Court.” He became a star of his very own show, named after his famous catchphrase, “What a Country!” Yakov branched out to the big screen where he starred in movies with Tom Hanks, Robin Williams, Richard Pryor, Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson, to name a few. In 2016 and 2017 his TV special “Happily ever laughter” was voted “The best special” on PBS.
He has given command performances for 4 US presidents.
Yakov Smirnoff is an iconic comedian, movie star, best-selling author and most recently, an educator, when he earned a master’s degree in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, after which he became a professor at Missouri State University. His latest accomplishment is a doctoral degree in Global Leadership from Pepperdine University.
Living a life that is as exciting as ever, Yakov has married his sweetheart, currently has his very own 2000 seat theater in Branson, Missouri, and tours the world doing stand-up Comedy at performing arts centers.
Inspired by his higher education in psychology and global leadership he is currently writing a book, “Unconscious Attraction: Why does the wrong person feel so right?”
With the heart of a dreamer, Yakov Smirnoff has made the impossible possible and continues to inspire others with his message that America is still, “What a Country!” Keep an eye out for a documentary about him on Netflix by the end of this year and stay tuned for what Dr. Yakov does next!

No parking spots are available near the park, so walking or public transport might be the best idea.
There are few shaded regions available at this park, so avoid visiting on a hot day. Instead, the best time to visit this park would be around early mornings or late evenings when you can enjoy the cool breeze.
Be careful not to accidentally stumble onto any poison ivy, which you can find growing towards the back end of the park.
Overall, the park is slightly remote and older, but it’s an excellent place to avoid the crowds.

Body Genesis Liquid Concentrate 2oz-PC
Liquid Mineral Complex/2 oz/#207, Humic/Fulvic Acids Blend, 100% Bio-Available, Pure, Plant Derived, Organic, No Preservative, GMP Certified
Body Genesis™ contains the foremost life-giving, rich source of essential minerals, trace elements and amino acids found in ancient matter, Humic (HA)/Fulvic Acids (FA). No known substances short of oxygen and water are more important to life itself than the ultimate aerobic decomposition biologic compound of all living matter. Scientists have identified at least 90 vital nutrients which must be continuously supplied to the body to sustain health and wellbeing. These nutrients include amino acids, major and trace minerals, vitamins, and other nutritional factors. When these factors are supplied to our cells, the cells then create the building blocks for the total metabolic machinery of our life processes. The very complex processes of all metabolic functions are carried on within the cell. If we fail to supply the cell with these essential nutrients we will experience a break-down of these functions. When this breakdown is substantial enough, we have the onset of disease or the manifestation of some related defect. Substantial deficiency in these essential nutrients is a common factor to every degenerative disease that we experience in life.
Why are Humic (HA)/Fulvic (FA) Acids so vital to the human body? Biologically speaking, our bodies consist of varying amounts of the following major and minor elements; Calcium, Carbon, Chlorine, Hydrogen, Iron, Iodine, Magnesium, Sulfur, Oxygen, Phosphorus, Potassium, plus traces of Aluminum, Bromine, Cobalt, Copper, Fluorine, Manganese, Nickel, Silicon, Sodium, Zinc, and any additional, yet undiscovered, trace elements being added to this list as our knowledge increases. The elements we are composed of are components of approximately 60 trillion cells, each containing nearly one quadrillion molecules. Imagine it, each cell in the human body containing about 10,000 times as many molecules as our Milky Way has stars. Proper nourishment of each individual cell prepares the body to: produce many of our own amino acids, burn its own energy, manufacture its own enzymes, create its own proteins, and duplicate itself.
Humic/Fulvic Minerals using reverse osmosis de-ionized carbon filtered water / 1 oz. daily serving contains: Mineral List: Antimony, Barium, Beryllium, Bismuth, Boron, Bromine, Calcium, Carbon, Cerium, Cesium, Chloride, Chromium, Cobalt, Copper, Dysprosium, Erbium, Europium, Fluorine, Gadolinium, Gallium, Germanium, Gold, Hafnium, Holmium, Indium, Iodine, Iridium, Iron, Lithium, Lutetium, Magnesium, Manganese Amino Acids: Alanine, Glutamic Acid, Glycine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Serinine, Threonine, Tryptophan, Valine Vitamins: Vitamin A (Acetate), Vitamin B (Thiamine),Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamide), Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), Vitamin B3 (Niacin),Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine),Vitamin E (Tocopherol),Molybdenum, Neodymium, Niacin, Nickel, Niobium, Osmium, Palladium, Phosphorus, Platinum, Potassium, Praseodymium, Rhenium, Rhodium, Rubidium, Ruthenium, Samarium, Selenium, Silver, Sodium, Strontium, Sulphur, Tantalum, Thorium, Tellurium, Terbium, Thulium, Tin, Titanium, Tungsten, Ytterbium, Yttrium, Zinc, Zirconium

Genre(s): Fantasy
Directed By: Courtney Solomon
Written By: Topper Lilien, Carroll Cartwright
Release Date: December 8, 2000
Domestic Distributor: New Line
Cast: Jeremy Irons, Justin Whalin, Marlon Wayans
Financed by: J&M Entertainment; Sweetpea
Courtney Solomon’s Sweetpea company optioned the Dungeons & Dragons rights from TSR in 1994 for just $15,000. He tried to set the movie up with studios and attracted numerous A-list directors, with a budget that was approaching $100 million, but nothing ever materialized. Solomon then crossed paths with veteran producer Joel Silver, who thought the property would work best as a television series and began to negotiate deals with networks.
Wizards of the Coast ended up purchasing TSR and refused to allow Dungeons & Dragons to be made as a TV series, as Solomon’s contract was only for a movie. Solomon also had a limited time frame to begin filming a movie or the rights would revert back to Wizards of the Coast. Solomon had only $3.5 million raised and an approaching deadline and began to shoot a cheap direct to video movie in order to hold onto the rights. This sparked litigation from Wizards of the Coast who claimed he wasn’t shooting a real movie. Based on a few scenes that were shot, Joel Silver decided to board as a producer and help raise money for a healthier budget and convince the property owners that the trademark would not be ruined by a low budget movie.
The budget for Dungeons & Dragons was $36 million and J&M Entertainment boarded to handle international pre-sales, which covered the majority of the budget and they also contributed some capital. Numerous individual investors who put money into Sweetpea padded out the rest of the expenses. No domestic distributor was attached to Dungeons & Dragons and it was not until mid August 2000 that New Line acquired domestic rights for $5 million. The studio quickly dated the pic for December 8.
Dungeons & Dragons opened against Vertical Limit and Proof Of Life and was excoriated by critics. New Line booked the pic into 2,078 theaters and it pulled in $7,237,422 — placing #5 for the weekend led by holdover How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Audiences gave Dungeons & Dragons a terrible C+ cinemascore, which is still a generous grade for this stinker and it sank 66.3% the following weekend to $2,438,086. It then plunged 68% in its third session to $779,640 and closed its domestic run with $15,220,685. New Line would see returned about $8.3 million after theaters take their percentage of the gross, less than their P&A expenses and acquisition cost.
The overseas release cumed $18.5 million across numerous distributors. The worldwide numbers killed off future plans to franchise the property for the big screen.
Both Warner Bros and Universal, separately decided to resurrect Dungeons & Dragons as a big-budget potential franchise — which led to a 2013 lawsuit. Hasbro (which took over the rights to the property from Wizards of the Coast) licensed the movie rights to Universal, but Sweetpea claimed they were still the copyright owner. Sweetpea had produced two cheap direct to video sequels in 2005 and 2012, which the company asserts was made within the timeframe they have to produce a movie or the rights revert to Hasbro. Hasbro and Sweetpea ended up in court, (WB covered the legal costs) each claiming ownership. The two parties eventually privately settled, but it is clear that Sweetpea was the winner in the suit. The movie was given the legal go-ahead at Warner Bros, with both Hasbro and Sweetpea producing. | 2023-14/4154/en_head.json.gz/11795 | {"url": "https://bombreport.com/yearly-breakdowns/2000-2/dungeons-dragons/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "bombreport.com", "date_download": "2023-03-31T10:03:43Z", "digest": "sha1:UE5QCDJJBW7WAI56K5ACOHOM4TP36NN5"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3551, 3551.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3551, 4930.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3551, 13.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3551, 134.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3551, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3551, 293.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3551, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3551, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3551, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3551, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3551, 0.34132581]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3551, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3551, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3551, 0.02655486]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3551, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3551, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3551, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3551, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3551, 0.03668763]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3551, 0.01677149]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3551, 0.02375961]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3551, 0.01692525]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3551, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3551, 0.19605078]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3551, 0.50684932]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3551, 4.90068493]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3551, 0.00141044]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3551, 5.18423273]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3551, 584.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 18, 0.0], [18, 48, 0.0], [48, 94, 0.0], [94, 125, 0.0], [125, 156, 0.0], [156, 205, 0.0], [205, 246, 0.0], [246, 689, 1.0], [689, 1428, 1.0], [1428, 1919, 1.0], [1919, 2579, 1.0], [2579, 2742, 1.0], [2742, 3551, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 18, 0.0], [18, 48, 0.0], [48, 94, 0.0], [94, 125, 0.0], [125, 156, 0.0], [156, 205, 0.0], [205, 246, 0.0], [246, 689, 0.0], [689, 1428, 0.0], [1428, 1919, 0.0], [1919, 2579, 0.0], [2579, 2742, 0.0], [2742, 3551, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 18, 2.0], [18, 48, 4.0], [48, 94, 6.0], [94, 125, 5.0], [125, 156, 4.0], [156, 205, 7.0], [205, 246, 5.0], [246, 689, 69.0], [689, 1428, 136.0], [1428, 1919, 78.0], [1919, 2579, 109.0], [2579, 2742, 24.0], [2742, 3551, 135.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 18, 0.0], [18, 48, 0.0], [48, 94, 0.0], [94, 125, 0.17857143], [125, 156, 0.0], [156, 205, 0.0], [205, 246, 0.0], [246, 689, 0.02790698], [689, 1428, 0.00275103], [1428, 1919, 0.01677149], [1919, 2579, 0.06369427], [2579, 2742, 0.01898734], [2742, 3551, 0.01520913]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 18, 0.0], [18, 48, 0.0], [48, 94, 0.0], [94, 125, 0.0], [125, 156, 0.0], [156, 205, 0.0], [205, 246, 0.0], [246, 689, 0.0], [689, 1428, 0.0], [1428, 1919, 0.0], [1919, 2579, 0.0], [2579, 2742, 0.0], [2742, 3551, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 18, 0.11111111], [18, 48, 0.13333333], [48, 94, 0.13043478], [94, 125, 0.09677419], [125, 156, 0.12903226], [156, 205, 0.14285714], [205, 246, 0.12195122], [246, 689, 0.02934537], [689, 1428, 0.0270636], [1428, 1919, 0.03258656], [1919, 2579, 0.03333333], [2579, 2742, 0.01226994], [2742, 3551, 0.02966625]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3551, 0.71922672]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3551, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3551, 0.96029961]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3551, -202.36288883]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3551, 24.74406447]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3551, 7.47654993]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3551, 29.0]]} |
