You are a journalist with a story to tell and you want a new way to tell it. The old systems feel flat for what you hope to do. Your tale has narrative depth, with characters and plot twists but also a range of source material such as maps, photos, videos, audio and documents. The reporting fills bankers' boxes and jump drives; it demands bandwidth. And while you don't want to overwhelm readers, you do want to offer them a multidimensional story experience.
If you're a freelancer, you might bypass the traditional publishers and crowdfund the story for your own WordPress site, or try to sell it through Amazon, or pitch it to an outlet like Byliner or Medium or Matter. But no, you'd rather be your own gatekeeper, and keep most of the cut. You want to handle your own design, hire your own fact checkers (which is more than some publishers bother to do). You want some operational transparency — exactly how much work are you selling, and how, and to whom?
Knight invested in (The) Atavist, the company (that) built Creatavist, last year through the Knight Enterprise Fund, with the hope that the company would be able to dramatically lower the cost of multimedia storytelling for journalists, particularly smaller newsrooms.
WBUR, however, is among the first to use the newly launched Creatavist, a freemium product, that gives journalists the ability to create stories on the web, and easily publish them to e-books and apps.
It's an opportunity to tell a richer story, to enhance the experience of the reader.
Imagine a character in your story finds a map. With Creatavist you can easily upload an image of that map, and then embed it on the word 'map'. Users can then choose to click the word to see it for themselves.
Or let's say a character is discussing a real world event. Perhaps a news story. Why not embed a video of the news report to let your reader learn more about it, to give those unfamiliar with the story the chance to catch up.
You could commission a soundtrack to play in the background, or just drunkenly sob into the microphone so the reader knows exactly how miserable/drunk you were when you wrote it. Yay art!
I used the enhanced features to add an audio file to each chapter, so you can choose to listen to me read the story in my Northern English accent if you wish (I'm no Neil Gaiman, but by all accounts I did a serviceable job).
So that sounds pretty cool. Let's talk about the money, you say. Ratliff outlines the options: A storyteller can produce the first piece for free; $10 per month buys unlimited storytelling, plus the bandwidth for video; $250 per month allows you to make your own personal app and brand it. That's coming on line next month.
And the ideal user? Anybody in mind?
So how would I sell my story to an audience? you ask.
What do you hope storytellers will do with Creatavist?
It'll be interesting to see where this leads. | {

How to find cheap art to buy at this week's huge art fair
By Ben Neutze Posted: Wednesday September 12 2018, 6:35pm
Photograph: Jacquie Manning
Sydney Contemporary is the biggest international art fair in the country, and it has one central purpose: to be a one-stop shop for art collectors looking to spend some serious cash. Although it's really all about the buying and selling, it still attracts plenty of people just after a glimpse of the latest works from the stars of Australian art and international heavyweights.
And there's certainly plenty of reasons to head to the fair at Carriageworks, even if you don't have cash to spend beyond the $25 ticket price: there's a talks program, performances, plenty of large-scale installations and, of course, some fancy bars and food offerings.
But making that step from visitor to buyer can be pretty daunting, and some of the works are eye-wateringly expensive. There's a Jean DuBuffet installation that'll set you back a few million dollars. Eek.
If you didn't just fall off your chair, we've got some hints for how those of us who don't belong to a royal family can score a beautiful artwork at Sydney Contemporary without going hungry.
1. Buy a work on paper
There's a full room (Bay 19) at Sydney Contemporary devoted to works on paper, featuring drawings, limited edition prints, posters and even artist books. We found some great drawings for as low as $150 (and you can probably find something even cheaper if you're willing to rifle through). We particularly loved the brightly colourful works by Peter Dudding from Studio A, which are all around the $500 to $1,000 mark.
2. Head to Future Contemporary
Bay 20 houses 'Future Contemporary', a showcase for the newer galleries on the scene working with some progressive and boundary-pushing artists. In that bay, you'll find the Egg and Dart gallery, up in Sydney from Thirroul, showcasing the work of Gabrielle Adamik (you can pick up one of her glass and ceramic works for $900 to $1,700) and Archibald finalist India Mark (you can get one of her small oil paintings for $350).
3. Visit the National Art School's stand
For the first time, Sydney's National Art School is at the fair, showcasing works from current students and alumni who aren't yet represented. They'll be having two hangs (meaning they'll rotate works) over the course of the art fair, and all the works are affordable. Rebecca Gallo has an unusual trophy sculpture going for $450, and Sarah Goffman is selling PET plastics painted and drawn to look like blue and white porcelain, from $350 to $900.
4. Get some Art Money
If your next pay day is still a little way off, you can always look into Art Money, a service that allows you to pay off artworks between $675 and $50,000 at most of the Sydney-based galleries in the fair. It's essentially an interest-free loan, and all you need is a 10 per cent deposit.
Sydney Contemporary is at Carriageworks from September 13-16.

The House of Fregoso or di Campofregoso was a noble family of the Republic of Genoa and Liguria in general, divided into numerous branches, whose members distinguished themselves on numerous historical occasions; many of them held the position of Doge of Genoa, some were also lords of Sarzana; others finally held various fiefdoms, lands and titles along the arc of the Ligurian Apennines, such as the county of Sant'Agata Feltria which was owned by Agostino Fregoso. The Fregoso family monopolized the Dogate's lifetime office, becoming the dynasty who produced the highest number of doges in the history of the Republic.
History
Originating from the locality of Val Polcevera, on the hill above Rivarolo, they were enterprising merchants, active in the political affairs of the city from the 13th century, with Rolando, a castellan from Voltaggio, Gavi and Porto Venere.
The family had a strong influence on Genoese political life and thirteen members of the Fregoso family became doges; the first of them was Domenico di Campofregoso, but the most famous was certainly Paolo Fregoso, emblematic personage of a political history dominated by ambition and by the calculation of circumstances which was generally a characteristic of the family.
In addition to the Doges, other personalities distinguished themselves in various fields, military like Abraham , Augustine and Cesare Fregoso, writers like Antoniotto or ecclesiastics like Federigo Fregoso.
The Fregoso family lost its political importance in the first half of the 16th century with the end of the Dogate of Ottaviano Fregoso, imprisoned by the Spaniards and died in prison in Ischia. In 1528, the family was incorporated in the Alberghi of the families De Fornari and De Ferrari ; resumed its name in 1576, but since then it no longer had any historical importance.

Marshawn Lynch Shares What Would Make Him Return to Football
ByJordan Rose
Is Beast Mode coming back to the NFL? Well, not exactly. While speaking with Conan O'Brien on Wednesday, Marshawn Lynch revealed that he would only return to the league if he got to play for a team that was ready to contend for a Super Bowl.
"If the situation is right, it could happen," Lynch said. "I've been asked the question by a couple teams here recently, like, 'Are you ready?' I'm ready if [you're all] Super Bowl ready. That's what it will take me to come out [of retirement], to come and play again. It would have to be a guaranteed Super Bowl game for me."
Lynch was last active in the NFL during the latter half of the 2019 season, when he returned to the Seattle Seahawks for the last game of their regular season and their playoff run. The move was in line with Lynch's history of not-quite-retirements. Remember, the star running back sat out the entirety of the 2016 season before eventually returning in 2017 and joining the Oakland Raiders after Seattle traded him.
"Well, it's almost on that 'expect the unexpected,'" Lynch said when pressed furter. "But just as far as right now, what I do know is, Imma keep it solid. My agent has been in talks with Seattle, so like I said, we'll see what happens. If it works out and I get back up there, it is what it is. And if not, (expletive), I'm lookin' good. So I ain't really trippin' too much."

14-16 guys - do our models no longer have the handy undertank idle adjustment screw I've seen described as existing on earlier models? I'm hoping not so, as would like to up mine by a little but don't know how. If no handy screw, how is it done??
This is handled by the ECM now, there is no adjustment for it. With the updated ECM (part of recall) it will have a faster idle when first started and then settle down to around 1200/1100 RPM after.
Mine does not do this - idle isn't faster on startup. When was this recall? I'm Australia. How might one check if recall change was made do you think?
Contact a Suzuki dealer and provide them the VIN number.. They should be able to see if the recall has been done.. They may need to look at the revision number printed on the ECU itself to see if it needs replacement.

As far as I know there wasn't a full recall on the ECU in Australia. It is on a case by case basis as apparently not all ECUs here are affected.
It is a good ideas to contact a Suzuki dealer workshop and see what they have to say about your issue.
There have been several recalls do do with electrical wiring on our bikes, so you should also check with the workshop to see if they have been done on yours.
This is the thread where an number of us Aussies related our ECU experiences.
The one thing I hate about my new ECU is the high idle.
Check out the Aussie part of this forum it will tell you how to go about getting the upgrade.
I told my local shop if they got me a new ECU I would pay them to service my bike at the same time as they fitted the ECU, they ordered the ECU there and then while we were talking.
Remember to take both keys with you for the upgrade as here down under we have a chip in the key, not all bikes get that.
Here is another link in regards to the ECU swap in Oz. | {

Every Cornerstore collection comes with a laminated Loose Parts Pledge at no additional charge. This is a mini version of the pledge we use at all of our pop-ups, thinkshops, exhibits and lab-schools. We ask all children and adults to sign the pledge – to set the stage for respectful interaction with the materials, the learning space, and each other.
This laminated version allows you to sign with white board markers, wipe clean, and begin again another day. BONUS: there's some great info about the power of loose parts on the flip side!
You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use.

"I can not say enough positive things about Nicole Tudisco and my experience with her as my real estate salesperson from Wheatland Realty.
Nicole makes herself available at any time and any day to answer any email I may send, or return any voicemail I might leave. She has tirelessly acted on my behalf with lenders, banks, association personnel, etc., on my behalf throughout coordination of my home sale, all with positive results.
A Short Sale is when you need to sell your home but its worth less than what you owe the bank. Hence the term "short". Some common reasons you may need to sell your home are job loss, divorce, medical bills, job relocation, interest only loans or reduction in household income just to name a few. So instead of letting the home go to foreclosure we can ask the bank to accept less money than what you owe them and release you from title on the home.
I'M EMBARRASSED! CAN'T I JUST LET THEM TAKE THE HOUSE ? OR FILE BANKRUPTCY?
You're not alone so no need to be embarrassed. Everyone is struggling in this economy. If you just let your house go to foreclosure did you know the bank could come back for all the money they lost on your home years later? If you do a short sale we have a chance to get that possibility eliminated or in the very least reduced vs. the amount due from a foreclosure. Plus if you do a bankruptcy or foreclosure it can take up to 10 years before you can buy a home again. With a short sale it's as little as 2 years. Plus Bankruptcy and Foreclosure are public record. A short sale isn't recorded in the same manner so you can have more privacy.
I'M CURRENT ON MY PAYMENTS BUT MY HOME VALUE IS UNDER WATER. IS THERE ANY WAY FOR ME TO REFINANCE?
Yes, HARP, Home Affordable Refinance Program. This is for homeowners who are current and backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Even if your home is valued for less than what you owe you can take advantage of lower interest rates and even reduce the number of years on your loan. As of 10-24-11 they are extending the program to December 2013.
It does take some patience. Your best case scenario is about 4-6 months but it can take up to a year depending on your lender and if you have 1 or 2 loans. However, we are here to handle those details for you so you don't have to worry. That's why you hire a trained expert!
CAN I STILL DO A SHORT SALE IF I HAVE A 2ND LOAN OR A HOME EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT?
Absolutely! Happens all the time.
DO I HAVE TO BE LATE ON MY MORTGAGE TO DO A SHORT SALE?
Not necessarily, we have closed short sales in both scenarios.
WILL MY CREDIT SUFFER FROM A SHORT SALE?
Yes, but you can recover quicker than from a foreclosure or bankruptcy. So if you are in trouble a short sale is your best bet for the quickest recovery and least impact.
The quickest way back to homeownership is with a short sale over a foreclosure or bankruptcy.
I HAVE DONE OR I AM IN THE PROCESS OF DOING A LOAN MODIFICATION. CAN I STILL DO A SHORT SALE?
MY HOME IS GOING TO FORECLOSURE, CAN I STILL DO A SHORT SALE?
Very possible! Sometimes we can get the bank to postpone your sheriff sale date. The sooner you contact us the better chance we have to see if we can salvage the sale.
It's the difference between what you owe and what the bank is receiving. For instance you owe $350,000 but market value is $300,000. The deficiency is the $50,000 difference plus expenses. The bank covers most of your expenses on a short sale. Usually including Realtor, Attorney, Title fees and more….
HOW MUCH MONEY DO I NEED TO HIRE YOU AS OUR AGENT?
Our fees are covered as part of the short sale package.
Are you a Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae? | {

DeltaV™ v14 redefines how a distributed control system should operate, making a step change in usability, efficiency, and insight. Our team has obsessed over every little detail so we can make your job easier. Your operator user experience (UX) is better than before. It makes your distributed control system (DCS) more modular and more secure than ever. And now it opens amazing possibilities for plant mobility and IIoT enablement that future-proofs your investment. With DeltaV™ v14, you get the most intuitive, scalable, and easy-to-use DCS ever built.
A modern, build for purpose operations experience.
for today and tomorrow's high-performance operator requirements, DeltaV™ Live Operator Interface provides a world-class user experience. The highly-customizable HMI is our first to natively support HTML5 – laying the foundation for universal, cross-platform graphics that are easy to design and configure.
DeltaV™ v14 gives you a new level of confidence and protection from cybersecurity threats by being one of the only systems to have a top-to-bottom cybersecurity certification. DeltaV™ v14 will be certified ISASecure SSA Level 1 and IEC 62443 compliant, demonstrating validation by an accredited third party that Emerson developers are trained to write secure code and the system as a whole is hardened against emerging cyber threats.
Commissioning devices has never been easier – or faster.
Take commissioning off the critical path – included in v14 is a new commissioning application that allows you to manage the entire commissioning work flow for commissioning HART devices. There is also a new studio environment, called I/O Studio, that allows you to define device templates – imagine simply initiating a "one click" commissioning process – it's that easy and that fast.
Deploy with the new DeltaV PK Controller: A Powerful Standalone system. Easily Integrated.
The DeltaV™ PK Controller brings ground-breaking innovation and technology that is powerful standalone for small units and easily integrates into a plant-wide DCS. While most PLCs and skid units from OEMs can be challenging to integrate or map, the PK Controller seamlessly merges into a larger DeltaV system resulting in a single native database and system.
Go Mobile – Take the operations at your fingertips – virtually anywhere.
DeltaV™ Mobile enables you to view real-time process values, trends, alarms, historians, KPIs and other key data from your mobile device. Collaborative features make it easier to streamline workflows for managers and engineers to share critical information for enhanced business results. | {

Hello Cassandra! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
When I travel on a Walt Disney World Resort vacation, one of my favorite things is that I can get through most of my Disney Day with my Disney Gift Cards and MagicBand in tow. All of my purchases can be made through my Disney Gift Cards while my Theme Park Admissions, FastPass+ Selections, Advanced Dining Reservations and Memory Maker Photos can all be linked through My Disney Experience on my MagicBand. It makes for a vacation where traveling lighter is definitely possible.
While I have been able to link a major credit card to my MagicBand after having Guest Services approve my MagicBand for scanning purchases to your Walt Disney World Resort Hotel Room(with a PIN number you provide), I have not been able to directly link a Disney Gift Card to a MagicBand through My Disney Experience Account or the like.
When I'm traveling without Gift Cards, I will charge purchases back to my Walt Disney World Resort Hotel Room and often pay with cash or a Disney Gift Card at the Front Desk later before it is charged to my credit card. This way I can scan on my MagicBand at the Point of Sale and leave the Disney Gift Cards in my Resort Hotel room.
When you Check-In to your Walt Disney World Resort Hotel, you could always inquire with Guest Services if they would be able to put the credit from the Disney Gift Card onto your Room Account preemptively. | {

Treatment of AF in the very old patient: do comorbidities play a role in drug choice?
Vol. 17, N° 8 - 15 May 2019
Dr. Sonali Sarkar
Very elderly patients have higher thromboembolic and bleeding risk with multiple comorbidities challenging therapy. Absolute rates of stroke or systemic embolic events for patients aged ≥75 years were lower with NOAC compared to warfarin except for low-dose edoxaban. Individual trials show heterogeneity in terms of interaction between age and bleeding outcomes. Apixaban and edoxaban have the most data on frailty and falls. There is no interaction between multimorbidity and the efficacy and safety of apixaban. Availability of reversal agents is limited.
Arrhythmias and Device Therapy
Keywords: atrial fibrillation, comorbidities and anticoagulants, arrhythmias
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and its prevalence increases with age reaching more than 8% in people aged ≥80 years [1]. Advancing age is associated with multiple comorbidities, increases both thromboembolic and bleeding risk and poses several challenges to antithrombotic therapy.
Trials often exclude sick and elderly patients with multiple comorbid conditions, hence limiting their generalisation to this patient group in real-world practice. There is no "one size fits all" approach and prevention of cardioembolic complications in the very elderly population needs to be balanced carefully, taking into consideration several factors.
Challenges to therapy
Very elderly patients have numerous comorbidities that increase the risk of thromboembolism and/or bleeding. These include cognitive impairment, frailty and falls, low body weight, impaired renal and liver function, intercurrent illnesses, cancer, polypharmacy, and changes in body composition that interfere with drugs pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
Elderly patients with AF have higher comorbidities and survival is worse in the presence of multiple comorbidities [2]. It has been found that the presence of four or more comorbidities in AF patients increases mortality by as much as sixfold compared to patients with AF with no comorbidities [3]. Cognitive impairment and frailty are also associated with worse outcomes. Hence the choice of anticoagulants in patients with multiple comorbid conditions is complex, and balancing the risk and benefit of different antithrombotic strategies is important [4].
Evaluation of bleeding risk
Bleeding risk should be systematically assessed using the HAS-BLED score and has shown a better prediction than an approach based only on modifiable bleeding risk factors [5]. Other bleeding risk scores have been proposed such as the ORBIT or ABC score.
Modifiable bleeding risk factors include hypertension, labile international normalise ratio (INR), medication predisposing to bleeding such as antiplatelets and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and excess alcohol (≥8 drinks/week). Potentially modifiable bleeding risk factors include anaemia, impaired renal or liver function, and reduced platelet count or function [6].
A high bleeding risk score should not result in withholding anticoagulation as stroke risk tracks along with bleeding risk. It is important to correct modifiable risk factors in order to minimise the risk of bleeding while on anticoagulation [5, 6].
Impact of bleeding risk
The rate of bleeding in very elderly patients is higher [7, 8], with three sites of major bleeding identified - gastrointestinal, intracerebral and others [7].
Older people with AF do well with oral anticoagulation compared to no therapy and do better with novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs). Due to the higher baseline risk profile in very elderly patients, there was greater absolute risk reduction with anticoagulation than in younger patients with a number needed to treat for one year of 50 [7].
In the BAFTA trial, the occurrence of major bleeding complications including intracranial haemorrhage was similar between warfarin (INR 2-3) and aspirin in the older population. However, there are varying opinions regarding target INR with warfarin therapy in the very elderly population. While a few studies have recommended a target INR of 2-3 in very elderly or extremely elderly patients as there was positive net clinical benefit [9], other studies state that target INR should be 1.5-2 in very elderly patients at increased risk of bleeding [10]. Even amongst patients >90 years, oral anticoagulants were found to be superior to no therapy [11].
Trials of NOACs included over 27,000 older people aged >75 years. Within each trial, the absolute rates of stroke or systemic embolic events for patients aged ≥75 years were lower with NOAC regimens except for the lower-dose edoxaban regimen [12].
Individual trials show heterogeneity in terms of interaction between age and bleeding outcomes [5]. There is a significant interaction between age and increased extracranial major bleeding with both doses of dabigatran. No significant age interaction on rates of extracranial major bleeding was seen with apixaban, edoxaban or rivaroxaban [5]. The absolute rates of major bleeding were also lower with apixaban and edoxaban, but not with dabigatran or rivaroxaban [12]. In patients at high bleeding risk (HAS-BLED ≥3) apixaban and edoxaban will be safer to use.
Figure 1. Incidence of major bleeds in NOAC vs. warfarin [12].
All the NOACs evaluated together have a slightly increased risk of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding with significant heterogeneity of effect. Factors associated with GI bleeding were anaemia at baseline, a history of GI bleeding, long-term aspirin use, increasing age and decreasing creatinine clearance [13]. Apixaban has similar rates of GI bleed to warfarin and is unique in this respect, hence it is preferred in patients with previous GI bleed.
Factors contributing to recurrent intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) include increasing age, concomitant use of aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, uncontrolled hypertension, spontaneous ICH, lobar bleed and cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Patients with lobar haemorrhage, microbleeds or cerebral amyloid angiopathy remain at higher risk for anticoagulant-related ICH recurrence than thromboembolic events and may be best managed without anticoagulants. Patients with deep hemispheric ICH and a baseline risk of ischaemic stroke >6.5% per year, which corresponds to a CHA2DS2-VASc score >5, may have a net benefit from restarting anticoagulation with a time from stroke to resumption of anticoagulation therapy of about 8-10 weeks [14].
Evaluation of comorbidities
Extrapolating trial data to real-world patients with multiple comorbidities is difficult as these high-risk patients have not been well represented in studies. High-risk patients with multiple comorbidities can account for up to 50% of patients with newly diagnosed AF.
The CHA2DS2-VASC score extends stroke prognostication in AF by including common stroke predictors additional to the older CHADS2 score (age 65-74, vascular disease, and female sex). The CHA2DS2-VASc score particularly improves the risk prediction in many patients deemed "low risk" based on the CHADS2 schema. The CHA2DS2-VASc tool has been validated in multiple independent populations and is now recommended by the European guidelines [14].
A post hoc subgroup analysis of the ARISTOTLE trial found that rates of stroke/systemic embolism, death and major bleeding increased with multimorbidity, but with no interaction in relation to the efficacy or safety of apixaban [15].
Renal disease
Patients with AF and chronic kidney disease (CKD) have increased morbidity and mortality due to their excessive risk for both thromboembolic and severe bleeding events, making risk stratification and treatment challenging. All four NOACs are at least partly eliminated by the kidneys. Dabigatran has the highest renal elimination (80%), whereas 50%, 35%, and 27% of edoxaban, rivaroxaban, and apixaban, respectively, are cleared via the kidneys.
In patients on NOACs, renal function needs to be monitored at least yearly in order to detect changes in renal function and adapt the dose accordingly. If renal function is impaired (i.e., CrCI <60 ml/min), a more frequent evaluation is recommended. The number of months after which follow up should be done can be attained by dividing the patients Creatinine clearance by 10. In patients with additional risk factors (e.g., older age, frail, multiple comorbidities, intercurrent acute illness such as infections, acute heart failure, etc.), it may be evaluated even more frequently, especially if on dabigatran.

Creatinine clearance Dabigatran Rivaroxaban Apixaban Edoxaban
>50 150 mg twice daily 20 mg once daily 5/2.5 mg twice daily* 60 mg once daily
30-49 110 mg twice daily 15 mg once daily 5/2.5 mg twice daily* 30 mg once daily
15-29 Not recommended 15 mg once daily 5/2.5 mg twice daily* 30 mg once daily
<15 Not recommended Not recommended Not recommended Not recommended
*2.5 mg twice daily if 2 out of 3 criteria age >80, weight <60 kg, Cr >1.5.
For patients with CrCl <15 ml/min or on haemodialysis, adjusted dose warfarin INR 2-3 may be used. Patients with severe CKD spend less time in therapeutic range or there is a higher chance of over-anticoagulation (INR >4) and require lower warfarin dosing.
Hepatic disease
Patients with significant active liver disease including cirrhosis, or those with persistent elevation of alanine transaminase or aspartate transaminase >2-3 times normal or total bilirubin >1.5 times normal were excluded from the landmark NOAC trials in AF. All four NOACs are contraindicated in patients with hepatic disease associated with coagulopathy and clinically relevant bleeding risk including Child-Turcotte-Pugh C cirrhosis. Rivaroxaban should not be used in Child B liver cirrhosis due to a more than twofold increase in drug exposure in these patients. Dabigatran, apixaban and edoxaban may be used with caution in patients with Child B cirrhosis.
Similar to AF, the incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD) increases with ageing. Approximately 15% of AF patients have a history of myocardial infarction; 5-15% of AF patients will require stenting at some point in their life.
Co-prescription of oral anticoagulants (OAC) with antiplatelet therapy, particularly triple therapy, increases absolute risk of major haemorrhage. The addition of NOACs increases bleeding risk by 79-134%, while reducing recurrent ischaemic events only marginally in patients with AF. OAC monotherapy is recommended in AF patients with stable CAD but without an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and/or coronary intervention in the previous 12 months. In patients treated for ACS, and receiving a coronary stent, short-term triple combination therapy of OAC, clopidogrel, and aspirin seems warranted [5].
Frailty and falls
Frailty develops as a consequence of age-related decline in multiple physiological systems, which collectively results in a vulnerability to sudden health status changes triggered by relatively minor stressor events. It is estimated that a quarter to a half of people over 85 years are frail; these people have a significantly increased risk of falls, disability, long-term care and death [16].
Increased risk of falls leading to subdural haemorrhage is a common reason for withholding oral anticoagulant therapy in very elderly frail patients. Risk of falls can be assessed prior to initiation of OAC therapy using several tools such as the "Get up and go test", activities of daily living, and the Identification of Seniors at Risk score [17].
A Markov decision analytic model demonstrated that a patient on vitamin K antagonists (VKA) has to fall 295 times for the risk of subdural haematoma to outweigh the benefit of anticoagulation. As the risk of intracranial bleeds is even lower with NOACs, the number needed to fall would be even higher in the case of NOACs.
The risk of falls was specifically analysed in the ENGAGE-AF TIMI 48 and ARISTOTLE trials. It was found that treatment effect of the NOAC concerned was consistent even in patients at increased risk of falls. Due to a large absolute risk of events in patients at increased risk of falls, there was a large absolute risk reduction and low number needed to treat for NOACs. This benefit has been best demonstrated for apixaban and edoxaban in this patient subgroup. Also, patients with falls should be referred to fall services for management of falls [5].
NOACs reduced the risk of intracranial bleeding by 15% but lack of an easily available antidote in major bleeding due to a fall remains a drawback. Hence, anticoagulation should only be withheld from patients with severe uncontrolled falls (e.g., epilepsy or advanced multisystem atrophy with backwards falls, or in selected patients with dementia) where compliance and adherence cannot be ensured by a caregiver [6].
Low body weight is part of frailty syndrome, associated with cancer and renal insufficiency, and increases bleeding risk by increasing drug exposure.
Body weight ≤60 kg is a dose reduction criterion for both apixaban (if also age ≥80 yrs/creatinine ≥1.5 mg/dl) and edoxaban. Dabigatran has the same efficacy in patients with body weight <50 kg but body mass index (BMI) <23.9 can be an independent predictor of bleeding events and may be less preferable due to frequently co-existing renal insufficiency. No outcome data are available for rivaroxaban in patients with weight <60 kg or <50 kg with no recommendations regarding dose change.
VKA therapy can also lead to increased bleeding in underweight patients; patients with body weight <50 kg are underrepresented in outcome studies involving NOACs.
The ACTIVE investigators found that a mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score <26 was associated with higher vascular events and bleeding risk. Stroke in a patient with dementia further increases the risk of cognitive and functional decline. AF is a risk factor for dementia; the use of OAC may reduce the risk of dementia in AF patients [5].
Patients with dementia spend less time in therapeutic range with warfarin therapy. NOACs may be a favourable option in very elderly individuals with cognitive dysfunction due to fixed daily dosing, no need for anticoagulation monitoring and steady pharmacokinetics. However, ensuring patient adherence is important as these drugs have a shorter half-life and missing several doses may lead to loss of protective effect. Rivaroxaban and edoxaban may offer some benefit in this regard due to once daily dosing compared to dabigatran and apixaban [17].
The incidence of cancers increases with age as does AF. Active malignancy was usually an exclusion criterion in NOAC trials on AF and suggestions are mostly derived from trials on deep vein thrombosis (DVT). In patients with malignancy who are already on NOAC therapy for AF, the possibility of drug-drug interactions should be kept in mind. For patients who require to be initiated on anticoagulation, it is preferable to start with heparin or warfarin rather than NOACs due to greater clinical experience. Temporary cessation or dose reduction of NOACs is advised in case of myelosuppression. Frequent monitoring of complete blood counts, renal and liver function tests is advised as well as careful monitoring of signs of bleeding such as petechiae, purpura or ecchymosis [18].
The term polypharmacy means increased use of prescription and non-prescription drugs. More than half of the patients in the ROCKET-AF study and Danish anticoagulation clinic were on five or more prescription drugs. Concomitant use of >10 medications has been shown to increase the risk of major and minor bleeding. In ROCKET-AF and ARISTOTLE, patients concomitantly taking several (>5 or >9) medications experienced similar outcomes and consistent treatment effects of either NOAC relative to warfarin.
Warfarin has numerous drug interactions and a narrow therapeutic window which makes it difficult to use in very elderly individuals on polypharmacy. NOACs are easier to use in the setting of polypharmacy due to more favourable pharmacodynamics [17].
Certain groups of drugs must be avoided, particularly in case of renal impairment. In general, NOAC use is not recommended in combination with drugs that are strong inhibitors of both CYP3A4 and P-gp (e.g., verapamil, dronedarone, amiodarone, and quinidine). Conversely, strong inducers of P-gp and/or CYP3A4 (such as rifampicin, carbamazepine, etc.) will markedly reduce NOAC plasma levels; such combinations should be avoided or used with great caution. Non-metabolic clearance of apixaban is diverse (including excretion of the unchanged compound by >50%), which reduces the potential for drug interaction. Colour coding for drug interaction as per current guidelines should be followed [5].
Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and its prevalence increases with age reaching more than 8% in people aged ≥80 years. Very elderly patients have numerous comorbidities that increase the risk of thromboembolism and/or bleeding and mortality.
Very elderly people with AF do better with anticoagulation than no anticoagulation at all. Antiplatelet therapy increases bleeding risk, especially dual antiplatelet therapy with bleeding rates that are similar to those on OAC. Thus, antiplatelet therapy cannot be recommended for stroke prevention in AF patients.
Warfarin has been used safely in very elderly and extremely elderly people although opinions differ about optimal target INR and the protective effect depends on time in therapeutic range.
Meta-analyses of NOAC trial data have shown no interaction between age and their safety and efficacy although the very elderly patient subgroup is under-represented in the trials. Intracranial bleeding is lower with all NOACs compared with VKA. There is a significant interaction between age and increased extracranial major bleeding with both doses of dabigatran. No significant age interaction on rates of extracranial major bleeding was seen with apixaban, edoxaban or rivaroxaban. The absolute rates of major bleeding were lower with apixaban and edoxaban. All NOACs pooled together have higher GI bleeding compared to warfarin but apixaban is unique as it has similar rates of GI bleeding.
There is a high prevalence of renal insufficiency in older patients with frequent acute decrease in renal function. Renal function should be evaluated before prescribing and monitored more frequently during therapy and during intercurrent illness to avoid the risk of bleeding. Renal clearance is highest for dabigatran and least for apixaban. Renal dose modification of all NOACs is to be followed. For CrCl <15 or on haemodialysis, warfarin is preferred but the risk of bleeding and over-anticoagulation is high.
All four NOACs are contraindicated in patients with hepatic disease associated with coagulopathy and clinically relevant bleeding risk including stage C cirrhosis. Dabigatran, apixaban and edoxaban may be used with caution in patients with Child B cirrhosis.
Rates of stroke/systemic embolism, death and major bleeding increased with multimorbidity, but with no interaction in relation to the efficacy or safety of apixaban.
In frail patients at increased risk of falls there was a large absolute risk reduction and low number needed to treat for NOACs. This benefit has been best demonstrated for apixaban and edoxaban. Patients with dementia spend less time in therapeutic range with warfarin therapy. Rivaroxaban and edoxaban may offer some benefit with regard to compliance due to once daily dosing compared to dabigatran and apixaban.
Body weight ≤60 kg is a dose reduction criterion for both apixaban (if age ≥80 yrs/creatinine ≥1.5 mg/dl) and edoxaban. BMI <23.9 can be an independent predictor of bleeding events and dabigatran may be less preferable due to renal insufficiency. There are no recommendations regarding dose change for rivaroxaban in these patients. VKA therapy can lead to increased bleeding in underweight patients.
NOACs are easier to use in polypharmacy compared to warfarin but colour coding for dose modifications in the guidelines should be followed.
Apixaban was rated FORTA-A (highly beneficial) for the treatment of AF in older people; other NOACs (including low-/high-intensity dabigatran and high-intensity edoxaban) and warfarin were assigned to FORTA-B (beneficial) [19].
An individualised approach matching the particular NOAC to the participant profile, taking into consideration the risk of bleeding and other comorbidities, should be taken rather than a generalised "one drug fits all" approach in elderly adults. Caution should still be exercised with NOACs in very elderly adults with other comorbidities (mainly renal impairment) and very low body weight. Lack of a reversal agent for the anticoagulant effects of NOAC should also be kept in mind when prescribing these agents.

Visiting Anchor Brewery in San Francisco
Anchor Brewery in San Francisco mash boiler
Anchor Brewing calls itself the United States' first craft brewery, and the company has been a part of the San Francisco scene since the city's earliest days. The brewery was founded by German brewer Gottlieb Brekle, who arrived in San Francisco during the Gold Rush in 1849. Brekle opened his first saloon near Russian Hill, along Pacific Street, in 1871.
Since those early years, the brewery has changed hands and moved locations several times. In August 2017, the company was purchased by Japanese beer manufacturer Sapporo, which has vowed to maintain a strong presence in the San Francisco area. All Anchor Brewing beer is made at its facility in San Francisco's Potrero Hill area, where it's been located since 1977. The building was built in 1937 and originally was a coffee roastery before being purchased by Anchor.
Anchor Brewery San Francisco Beers
Today, all Anchor Brewery's beers are made in the copper brewhouse, which includes many historic pieces of manufacturing equipment. The beer for which Anchor is most well-known is Anchor Steam, which was first brewed in 1896 and has been made continuously by the brewery since 1971. Anchor Brewing also makes several Porters, IPAs and ales. Since 1975, Anchor has also sold a Christmas Ale, available only from November through January and with a different recipe and bottle design each year.
Anchor Brewing offers public tours of its brewery, called the Anchor Taste & Tour, on most days. Tours last one and a half hours and include a walk through the brewery's three-story manufacturing facility as well as a tasting session following the tour. Tickets for the public tour cost between $20 and $30 per person and must be reserved in advance, with payment made at the time of the booking. People younger than 21 can also take the tour at no cost but will not be able to participate in the tasting session. Tours can be booked online, and dates and availability are listed on the Anchor Brewing website. In addition to the Anchor Taste & Tour, the brewery also offers private group tours and tastings for groups of 20 to 40 people. These more in-depth two-hour tours cost between $40 and $50 per person and also include a tasting session. Private tours are available at 3:30 and 6 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays.
Anchor Brewing's Potrero Hill manufacturing facility sits across the street from the brewery's Public Taps, a gathering place that is open to the public and also hosts many special events during the year. Several Anchor Brewing beers are available on tap at all times at the Public Taps, and the brewery also keeps a rotating schedule of local food trucks that visit during lunch and dinner hours. Events include educational programs, game nights and trivia nights. Tickets are required for some events. | {

Scores of NXIVM Victims Sue Former Leaders for Human Trafficking
PHILADELPHIA, PA January 28, 2020 — 80 individuals filed a lawsuit in federal court in Brooklyn today against the former leaders of the purported self-improvement company NXIVM. The lawsuit seeks compensation from NXIVM founder Keith Raniere and members of his "Inner Circle," including heiresses Clare Bronfman and Sara Bronfman and actress Alison Mack, for fraud, forced labor, human trafficking and for conducting unlawful medical experiments.
The complaint (PDF) alleges that the defendants peddled an inherently risky "pseudo-scientific hodgepodge of psychotherapeutic methods" as expensive self-improvement courses, taken by thousands of unsuspecting people, many of whom lost their life savings and were severely traumatized by the process. "NXIVM preyed on earnest, intelligent people who wanted to better themselves and the world through what they thought to be a humanitarian undertaking of unprecedented scope," said Neil Glazer of Kohn, Swift & Graf, P.C., one of the law firms representing the plaintiffs in the lawsuit.
The lawsuit also alleges that the defendants pressured students to plunge more deeply into teachings that, over time, radically reframed gender roles and relations. According to the complaint, NXIVM's curriculum became increasingly misogynistic, teaching that women were inherently weak and untrustworthy, and that to become stronger and more empowered they first had to experience extreme humiliation and degradation. "Defendants systematically stripped women of their self-esteem, and those who fit certain criteria were then groomed to become Raniere's sexual partners," said Glazer. "Through an insidious process of slow, subtle indoctrination and manipulation, NXIVM's leaders drew ever closer to its Albany headquarters those students who had become most vulnerable to defendants' abusive and coercive methods."
The lawsuit further alleges that the defendants employed fear tactics to suppress internal dissent, prevent defections and intimidate those who left into keeping silent. According to the complaint, sisters Clare and Sara Bronfman spent millions of dollars bankrolling campaigns of vexatious litigation against NXIVM's perceived enemies, including lodging false criminal complaints and having lawyers send letters threatening lawsuits and criminal prosecution to the women who were leaving "DOS," the so-called "master-slave" group that Raniere created and secretly ran.
"Nobody should ever feel afraid to come forward after being victimized. We should have zero tolerance for that," said Glazer. Although Sarah Edmondson and two other outspoken NXIVM victims are named as plaintiffs in the lawsuit, the complaint was filed on behalf of 58 Jane Does and 19 John Does – persons who, according to Glazer, "fear both the defendants' retaliation and society's negative judgment of things that, quite frankly, society should start trying harder to understand. This can happen to anyone, and it has."
The lawsuit, captioned Sarah Edmondson, et al. v. Keith Raniere, et al., was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, and asserts claims against Keith Raniere, Nancy Salzman, Clare Bronfman, Sara Bronfman, Lauren Salzman, Alison Mack and others.

The Clockwork Prologue
Dean Marsh
Luke Severn
Stefan Hepe
Chris Ewen
Keri Farish
Ben Bell
Procreated when King Crimson recorded "In the Court of the Crimson King", born shortly before "In The Wake Of Poseidon" was released - it's natural this guy became a Prog-Head.
But first there was other music - music he learned from his surroundings - Deep Purple, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd - he was always drawn towards music from the 70s, towards "the beginnings" of real Rock-Art. Stefan began drumming quite late - at 18 years he decided that he'd banged enough on cardboard-boxes and bought a real drumkit.
Several Bands (including an "Evil Majestic Black Metal" Band with recording-contract) later, destiny struck - he discovered "Tales from Topographic Oceans" and was in love at once.
After catching up learning about the likes of Genesis, Gentle Giant, King Crimson, Van der Graaf Generator, Yes and Caravan - to name just a few - he began reading Magazines about his new love.
Pair his love for Fantasy literature (especially by J.R.R. Tolkien) with his love for Prog, and it's clear that it was only a matter of time until he discovered Gandalf's Fist. Actually, it was in "Classic Rock presents Prog"-Magazine No. 28 - a one-page interview with Dean and Luke, which aroused his interest. Quickly after that he bought all releases so far - and simply asked the guys if they could use some help on drums.
Stefan appeared as a guest musican for the "A Day in the Life of a Universal Wanderer" album and was promptly promoted to full band member following his thunderous performance at Planet Rockstock in 2013.

Brian was the lead psychologist to the England golf team for 16 years (1997-2013) delivering high performance strategies with European and World Championship winning teams and individuals at men's, youth and junior level. During this time he helped develop the mental skills of the best young emerging English golfers including the likes of Danny Willett, Chris Wood, Ross Fisher, Tom Lewis, Paul Waring, Eddie Pepperell, Tommy Fleetwood, David Horsey and Andrew Johnston, along with many Walker Cup players such as R&A World No. 1 Jamie Moul and Seniors Tour winner and amateur legend Gary Wolstenhome, MBE.
Brian has continued to work with many of these players into their professional careers on the various European tours. He was also the performance psychologist to the English Women's Golf Association (1998-2001 & 2006-2010) and still works with several current LET players. Brian is the author of the CD 'In the Zone: Simple Mental Skills to Improve Your Golf' and three books, including the best-seller 'Mental Toughness for Golf: The Minds of Winners'. He has presented extensively within the UK to golfers, coaches and students, and at PGA National Conferences in Great Britain, Holland, Germany and Denmark. Brian's profile has also seen him present in Australia, USA, South Korea, Hong Kong, India and widely in mainland European countries. He has also worked for the PGAs of Europe as a development consultant on the R&A 'Working For Golf' worldwide programme. As well as hosting four successful UK golf psychology conferences since 2002, Brian regularly runs UK Masterclasses in Golf Psychology for psychologists and golf coaches.
Brian has a wealth of experience in other sports, having worked with championship winning individuals and teams in professional cricket, 12 medallists in Olympic and Commonwealth Games boxing, and podium winners in single seat motor racing including Formula 3, GP2 & Formula 1. Whilst golf consultancy takes up most of his time, Brian is still actively working in professional cricket.
Brian gained his PhD in sport psychology from the University of Southampton in 1998; and has trained and mentored many golf psychology practitioners over the last decade. He is also trained in hypnosis and bereavement conselling. In 2010 he was awarded a Fellowship by the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences in recognition of 'esteemed personal achievement, skills, knowledge and service to BASES and the sport and exercise science community'.
Brian has an active Christian faith, enjoys Quentin Tarantino films, and is a lifelong Chelsea supporter. | {

The Hardest Working Actor In Hollywood: A Look Back at Bruce Dern's Career
by Pat Doran September 12, 2018
written by Pat Doran September 12, 2018
With the release of White Boy Rick this week and roles in two other movies this month, it brings a total of eight movies already released this year featuring one of Hollywood's hardest working actors: Bruce Dern. With another five in post-production, there is no sign of the eighty-two year old easing up.
After nearly sixty years in the movie business, Dern's CV reads like a who's who of Hollywood. He's worked with directors such as Elia Kazan, Alfred Hitchcock, Robert Aldrich, Francis Ford Coppola, Roger Corman all the way up to Tarantino. As for actors, he has worked with the likes of John Wayne, Montgomery Clift, Bette Davis, Tippi Hedron, Charlton Heston, Kirk Douglas, Burt Lancaster, Clint Eastwood and Jack Nicholson. In more recent times, he has worked with the likes of Tom Hanks, Bruce Willis, Matt Damon, Charlize Theron, Penelope Cruz, Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Downey Jr. to name just a few! He is a man who must have some great stories, and a man I would love to have a beer with.
Bruce Dern isn't an actor whose name on a billboard would guarantee box office success. Still, he has one of the most recognizable faces in film. He has appeared in well over one hundred movies and his daughter Laura is a very successful actress in her own right.
Here are ten of the movies that he has been in that I think are well worth a view so that we can celebrate his storied career. (There's a lot more than ten, but I had to narrow it down somehow!)

Marnie (1964)
Marnie's director Alfred Hitchcock described the movie as a "sex mystery". The story of a troubled woman who comes to the attention of a rich man. This is a deep psychological thriller. Marnie is forced into marriage even though she is suffering from a mental illness caused by a traumatic event from her past. The movie is a tough watch, released over fifty years ago, it still has relevance. No more so than when a woman says no, she means no. One scene where her new husband seeks to force himself on his new wife is a perfect example. I am a big fan of Hitchcock, but I still find Marnie a disturbing and uncomfortable watch.

Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1964)
A marvelous movie with a great cast. After the success of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? two years previously, Robert Aldrich reunited with its stars Bette Davis and Joan Crawford to make Hush, Hush Charlotte. However since Baby Jane was made, the relationship between its two stars, which was always toxic, was now even worse. To such an extent that through manipulation by Davis, Crawford was dropped and replaced by Olivia de Havilland. It turned out to be a masterstroke as de Havilland's performance as the evil cousin Miriam was outstanding. The whole movie was brilliantly shot with the use of lighting only adding to the shocks and scares, of which there are plenty. Above all it is a Bette Davis movie, she shows her full range and is just spellbinding. She was just a phenomenon and I cannot think of any present day actress who could compare.
I don't think this movie could have been made in any other year. The hippy revolution was coming to an end and the type of loose direction and improvisation seen in this movie would soon finish to be replaced by tighter scripts. The movie is really a non-story about two brothers played by Jack Nicholson and Dern. It is set in a shady Atlantic City pre the super casino age. The movie plays along with the fact that the first Monopoly board game featured Atlantic City and so we see people being sent to jail as well as trying to buy hotels!

The star of this movie as far as I am concerned is its appearance. The cinematography is just breathtaking, it brings the roaring twenty's to life with the use of vivid colors. The sets show off the opulence of Long Island at the time. However I think the movie itself is a bit dull. I thought there was very little chemistry between the two leads, Robert Redford and Mia Farrow, which may have been down to the fact that she was pregnant during filming. Francis Ford Coppola's screenplay differed from the book on occasions, and not to the benefit of the movie.

Black Sunday (1977)
One of the better disaster movies of the 1970s. Directed by John Frankenheimer, it is the story of an attempted terrorist attack on the Superbowl using the Good Year blimp. A psychotic Vietnam veteran played by Dern joins forces with the foreign terrorist group. At the time it seemed a far-fetched idea as there had never been a major terrorist attack in the United States. No one could foretell a more outrageous attack would take place less than twenty-five years later. The movie itself is a good action thriller if a shade too long.
Coming Home (1978)
A true portrayal of the effects of war on not only the participants but also on their loved ones at home. These are the people left to deal with both the physical and mental scars that the combatants return home with. This movie contains three incredible performances, Jon Voight and Jane Fonda in the lead roles, each winning an Academy Award for their efforts, as well as Dern who was nominated in the best supporting category. It is an uncompromising look at the reality of war. A brilliant movie!
That Championship Season (1982)
Based on a Pulitzer prize-winning drama from 1972, this is the story of the reunion of a high school basketball team on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of their State championship win. They gather in the house of their former coach, played by Robert Mitchum. As the movie progresses, secrets of infidelity, alcoholism and others rise to the surface. The movie hasn't aged particularly well, however, there can be no faulting any of the performances, especially Dern and Martin Sheen. It's still worth a watch in my book.
An unrecognizable Charlize Theron gives an Oscar-winning performance as serial killer Aileen Wuornos in this movie based on a true story. Monster comes across as a tragic love story, which in some ways tries to make Wuornos a victim — no doubt she had a terrible life and was mentally unstable. I think that at the core of the movie is the argument about the death penalty and whether a person so evidently unwell should be executed.
Nebraska (2013)
My favorite movie on the list! Shot in black and white, it's a brilliantly simple story of a dysfunctional — or maybe an ordinary family — dealing with the aging process. It is a film for all fathers and sons out there to watch together. The story is great but it has much more: it has heart and soul. As John Mellencamp so fittingly put it, "This getting older, it ain't for cowards". Christian Bale won the Academy Award for his performance in American Hustle, but I think it should have gone to Dern.

The Hateful Eight or Django Unchained, now this was a tough choice to represent Tarantino in this breakdown of Dern's filmography. Two fantastic movies with great story and casts. It came down to a performance of an actor who appeared in both films. No, not Samuel L. Jackson or Dern, who were both great, but Walton Goggins, who plays Sheriff Chris Mannix ("Well cut off my legs and call me shorty") was incredible. His performance was right up there with any other in 2015. The movie itself may be a shade long. Yes Quentin, we get the message that it's a bad storm. I sometimes wonder if he has ever heard the word "cut."

Danny O'Dea's 2021 in Review

I've always found Bruce Dern particularly interesting actor to watch. There's just something about him. Nebraska is an absolute must-see.
Bryan Caron September 12, 2018 - 10:00 pm
I'm sure these are great films and all, but how do you do a list like this and not include the classic comedy "The 'Burbs"!! It's the first film I remember seeing him in, and he fit in perfectly with Tom Hanks and Rick Ducommun. Good list, otherwise. Bruce Dern is amazing no matter what he's in!
Pat Doran September 13, 2018 - 6:43 am
A good movie alright, but its impossible to include everything. I tried to include some lesser known movies and not just make a best of list.
Bladud Fleas September 12, 2018 - 3:46 pm
When I think of Bruce Dern, it's the films The Driver and Silent Running.
Two great movies. I think Silent Running has aged well.

'Call Me Lucky': A Documentary Of Friendship, Childhood Abuse And Survival
TERRY GROSS, HOST:
This is FRESH AIR. I'm Terry Gross. My guests, comics Bobcat Goldthwait and Barry Crimmins, are good friends who each became important in the '80s comedy scene and both have been through a lot of changes since then. Goldthwait was first famous for his manic persona, for which he used a high-pitched screechy voice. Many people knew him from his role as Zed in the "Police Academy" films. Goldthwait has dropped the persona and become a director of independent films and TV shows like "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and "Maron." His new film is a documentary about Barry Crimmins.
In 1979, Crimmins founded a Boston comedy club in a Chinese restaurant called Ding Ho. A few years later, he founded another Boston comedy club called Stitches. Many comics got their start in Crimmins's clubs. It wasn't until the early '90s that Crimmins revealed he was raped several times at the age of 4 or 5 by a man brought into Crimmins's home by his babysitter. After going public, he started exposing pedophiles on Internet chat rooms. We'll talk about that a little later. Goldthwait's documentary about Crimmins is titled "Call Me Lucky." Bobcat Goldthwait, Barry Crimmins, welcome to FRESH AIR. Bobcat, I'm going to ask you to start and to introduce us to Barry Crimmins for people who don't know his comedy and his place in the comedy world. Just place us for us.
BOB GOLDTHWAIT: Well, Barry is a mentor of mine and a guy who I really look up to. His place in the comedy world is he's been an influence on many comedians that are really popular and well-known. And he started the comedy scene that was in the late '70s, early '80s in Boston. He's a political satirist. He's quite brilliant, and I'm not sure, I think he's Gemini. I could be wrong.
GROSS: Barry, you started two comedy clubs in Boston. In 1979, you open a comedy club within a Chinese restaurant...
BARRY CRIMMINS: Right.
GROSS: ...Called The Ding Ho. And then a few years after you started a comedy club called Stitches. And, Bobcat, did you ever perform in either of those clubs?
GOLDTHWAIT: Oh, sure. I bombed in both those venues.
GOLDTHWAIT: I - yes, I started doing comedy when I was a teenager with Tom Kenny, who is the voice of SpongeBob. I don't want to name drop but - and I've known him since I was 6. Tommy and I saw an ad that Barry put out in Skaneateles, N.Y. We went. He put us on stage. It was bold of him to put some snarky teenagers on. And then when Barry moved to Boston, I actually followed him there, and that's where I got my start doing comedy. And, you know, in my stand-up act back then there was even - there wasn't material even. You know, I'd go on stage and cry and read a Dear John letter or gut fish on stage. And let's just say the other club owners weren't really excited about what I was doing (laughter). Barry - Barry - and my act couldn't be further from what Barry was doing on stage, but Barry encouraged it. And, you know, he just encouraged me to be as odd and as - and in what interested me as a comedian.
GROSS: I don't think I've ever heard the expression gut fish before.
GOLDTHWAIT: Well, you know, I would just say - you know, I'd come out of - the character that people know me for, it was - people would say stop doing that character all the time. So I went on stage and I said, hi, this is my real voice. This is who I am. This is the part of the show I like to gut and clean a fish. Does anyone have a fish in the audience? And my roommate Dan Spencer (ph) would pull out a fish. And here at The Ding Ho, I actually - this fish was a little rancid from being in the trunk of a car. And I opened it up and then there was immediately the smell - a woman in the front row vomited. There was fish entrails.
CRIMMINS: (Laughter).
GROSS: Oh, gosh (laughter).
GOLDTHWAIT: And then a friend of ours, Bill Campbell, who does observational humor about relationships, had to go on stage after me with all this...
CRIMMINS: Right, right.
GOLDTHWAIT: ...Fish guts and vomit and...
CRIMMINS: Odor.
GOLDTHWAIT: And the club owner...
GROSS: Barry, did you talk to him about that afterwards, about not wanting people to vomit in your club?
CRIMMINS: I laughed. I mean, I laughed, but I can't - I might have been somewhere - I don't think I was there for that one and...
GOLDTHWAIT: Well, Shun Lee, who owned the club, came up to me and he just said, Bobby, you weird. You weird.
GROSS: Well, what - so, Bobcat, for people who don't know how you sounded on stage back in the '80s and who don't know the kind of persona that you had then...
GOLDTHWAIT: Sure.
GROSS: ...I am now going to play an excerpt of something...
GOLDTHWAIT: Oh, no.
GROSS: ...You might not remember (laughter).
GOLDTHWAIT: Oh, I remember.
GROSS: You remember. OK.
GOLDTHWAIT: I'm sure.
GROSS: In 1987, Bobcat Goldthwait was a guest on FRESH AIR. I was not hosting that day. There's just...
GOLDTHWAIT: Oh, OK.
GROSS: This was my first...
GOLDTHWAIT: It must've went really well that I'm back now.
GROSS: How many years did it take?
CRIMMINS: Eighteen years later, here he is.
GOLDTHWAIT: The return triumphant appearance.
GROSS: (Laughter) So just to set the scene, it's like - the show had just gone national in May. It's now August. It's my first week away from our new national edition of the show. Liane Hansen, who later becomes the host of Weekend Edition on NPR...
CRIMMINS: Right.
GROSS: ...Is filling in for me. And you're going to be on the show. I'm on my way to Cape Cod, tuning in the radio. And here's what I hear - Dan Hansen...
GROSS: Liane Hansen is introducing Bobcat. And it's just, like, long intro detailing his career, a little bit about his early life; it's really in detail, so here's the tail end of the intro. Here we go.
LIANE HANSEN: Goldthwait gained the nickname Bobcat during his mischievous teen years. And he first began writing comedy material right around the time he reached puberty. And he was already performing in clubs when he was 16 years old. Bob Goldthwait, welcome to FRESH AIR.
GOLDTHWAIT: Well, thank you very much. That was quite an elaborate research. I feel like I'm dead actually. In fact, if I did die now it'd be pretty good because that's not - you know, outside of being in the police lobotomies, that's pretty an impressive, you know, array of things.
HANSEN: That's a good resume. Gave me an A on it - you gave me a little star.
GOLDTHWAIT: Yeah, yeah, I didn't mark it correct and I guess that's kind of rude of me. Actually, thank you very much. It's really nice to be on FRESH AIR. Something I've never been accused of, you know?
HANSEN: (Laughter) OK, let's go back. Let's...
GOLDTHWAIT: No, let's bring it right to the toilet immediately.
HANSEN: No, no (laughter).
GOLDTHWAIT: I'm actually embarrassed, and also, my voice was higher. I mean, not only the character, but my voice was higher.
GROSS: No, but the character - like, how did you come up with that voice for your character?
GOLDTHWAIT: Yeah, well, I...
GROSS: And I just wanted to - let me just back announce that tape. So that was Bobcat Goldthwait on FRESH AIR in 1987 with Liane Hansen guest hosting and me listening in the car, driving to my vacation and thinking what (laughter)?
GOLDTHWAIT: Did you turn around? Did you go...
GROSS: (Laughter).
GOLDTHWAIT: I got to the end of this.
GROSS: I thought, like, he is really hard to interview, I was thinking.
GOLDTHWAIT: Yeah, yeah.
GROSS: And I thought, like, this is going to be a rough ride (laughter).
GOLDTHWAIT: Well, I - you know, my heroes growing up were people like Andy Kaufman and Groucho Marx and people that very rarely dropped the persona. And I - despite - you know, I'm a very private person, and I use this persona to hide behind. And it was something that started when I was a young comedian working with Barry. Actually, the first time, I think, it was this guy who had seen Bigfoot and went onstage, I think, at Under the Stone, where we started.
CRIMMINS: Yeah, in Skaneateles, my hometown.
GOLDTHWAIT: So it just became more and more easier for me to hide behind this persona. But, you know, I had - I used to direct the Jimmy Kimmel show, and I had done that for years. And I was going back to doing stand-up, and I really hated the idea of doing stand-up again. And it wasn't - it hit me. It wasn't the comedy clubs. It wasn't the traveling. It wasn't the wacky morning radio shows. It really was like, oh, I hate this persona (laughter). And so I had to jettison it just for my own sanity.
GROSS: What did you hate about the persona?
GOLDTHWAIT: I didn't realize I hated it. I think - I don't know. I just - I think I - or maybe it was - maybe it's just a different time and different place. And I know that for some people that character resonates, but I think it was a bit of a backlash for me because, you know, people knew me from "Police Academy" and things like that. And they'd - there was always - and I sound like I'm tooting my own horn - but there was always content underneath it that I think isn't remembered and isn't even put in perspective. You know, I think people - you know, quite often people come up to me and they're like, you know, oh - they do what you actually did, but they - that was something I don't remember. But usually, they'll come up and they go, do you remember this movie? Do you remember that?
GOLDTHWAIT: And it's like, I remember all of them. I was there. You know, I haven't had head trauma, you know? But I'm excited as a comedian now 'cause I'm performing often for young people who weren't even born when I was relevant. So it's exciting for me to now have an audience that knows me just as a comedian or as a guy who makes movies.
GROSS: I'm excited to hear your real voice. Like, when I started hearing your real voice because I don't - as an interviewer, I don't like interviewing people in persona because I like interviewing actual people. And a persona is - it's - it could be a very entertaining persona, but it's still...
GOLDTHWAIT: Right.
GROSS: ...Something of a facade.
GOLDTHWAIT: Yeah, and I felt like...
GROSS: And so you don't feel like you're talking to a real person when you're talking to a persona.
GOLDTHWAIT: But there was also a thing, you know, as - I was very protective of it, you know? I remembered how sad I was when I found out that Alice Cooper liked to golf. And - you know, so...
GROSS: (Laughter) I remember when I found that out, too.
GOLDTHWAIT: Yeah, and I was like, oh, no. Et tu, Alice?
GOLDTHWAIT: So, you know, I think golf killed more rock stars than heroin.
GOLDTHWAIT: But I - you know, so I was always protective of the persona. I didn't feel ever that people needed to know who I was. I don't - even to this day to an extent. You know, I think if people really want to know how I see the world, go check out these movies, you know? My - I know, you know, my movies are very small and they're not mainstream, but that is how I see the world. You know, that - and that's why I love making movies. I can be way more personal with people than I could ever even onstage.
GROSS: So, Bobcat, as somebody who performed a lot of clubs, including at Barry's clubs, did he do anything different as a comedy club manager or owner than other clubs did?
GOLDTHWAIT: Yeah, Barry would - you know, the prerequisite for Barry was that you were not only just funny, but you were original. And that was what was a lot different than the way most comedy clubs are still ran, you know? So that was the big difference between him and the other club - oh, and he also paid us. That was pretty (laughter) Earth-shattering back in the day, too.
CRIMMINS: (Laughter) Revolutionary.
GOLDTHWAIT: Yeah, that was a bold, bold move. So yeah - so he did run the clubs a little differently.
GROSS: So, Barry Crimmins, could we just, like, tick off a list of some of the names of people who got started at your clubs?
CRIMMINS: Yeah, sure. Steven Wright, whose - you know, remains one of my dearest friends in the world and is just brilliant and hilarious, always. Bobcat Goldthwait, Tommy Kenny - let's see - Lenny Clarke, Steve Sweeney, Mike Donovan, in Boston, well-known acts and Mike McDonald. Let's - God, everybody came through. People...
GOLDTHWAIT: Kevin Meaney.
CRIMMINS: Kevin Meaney.
GOLDTHWAIT: Paula Poundstone.
CRIMMINS: Yes. And then people like Kevin Rooney and A. Whitney Brown came through town who I knew or was connected with it in other ways. A lot of great acts - Kevin Nealon came and played The Ding. So it was...
GOLDTHWAIT: Also there's folks that later, after these clubs gone away, that Barry either influenced or worked with. People like David Cross and John Ennis and - it's interesting. Patton's in the movie because I found out...
GROSS: Patton Oswalt?
GOLDTHWAIT: Yeah, I found out - well, I'm on a first-name basis, but whatever - so...
GOLDTHWAIT: No, so he was on - you know, I found out that he was a huge fan of Barry's and knew his history. You know, he - these are guys that Barry influenced, you know, and - yeah.
GROSS: Barry, when you started your comedy clubs in the late '70s and early '80s, it's a period or at least a period leading into one - and you can correct me if you think I'm wrong about this - when a lot of comics were incredibly sexist and homophobic. And a lot of the sex jokes, I think, from a woman's point of view were really kind of, like, insulting to women. And I'm wondering what it was like for you to run a comedy club in that period when so much of the humor was, you know - and not necessarily the humor at your clubs but maybe - I don't know I wasn't there - but so much of the humor was like that?
CRIMMINS: That's right. I might even have been guilty of a tiny bit of that early on, you know, trying to find my way. But it was a boys' club back in those days. I tried to do what I could to get some women involved. But I understand why a woman wouldn't walk into a comedy club back then. I now understand why they wouldn't feel particularly, you know, welcome there. But I tried to be as welcome as possible - Lauren (ph), Paula.
GOLDTHWAIT: Yeah, Barry was encouraging female comedians when he booked the clubs. The first time I went into The Ding Ho, the door person was Paula Poundstone. And then the show started, and she went up onstage (laughter). And I was like, oh.
CRIMMINS: Everybody covered something.
GOLDTHWAIT: Yeah, so he was encouraging it.
GROSS: My guests are comics Bobcat Goldthwait and Barry Crimmins. Goldthwait has made a new documentary about Crimmins titled "Call Me Lucky." We'll talk more after a break. This is FRESH AIR.
GROSS: This is FRESH AIR, and if you're just joining us, I have two guests. Bobcat Goldthwait is a comic and a director and has made a new documentary about his good friend Barry Crimmins, who was also a comic who founded two important comedy clubs in Boston. And this documentary is about his contribution to the comedy scene, but it also is about his childhood when he was abused as a child and then later as an adult tried to out child pornographers and did a pretty successful job at getting some of them put behind bars. Bobcat Goldthwait, why did you want to make a film about him?
GOLDTHWAIT: Well, I've always wanted to make a movie about Barry. I'm jumping ahead of the story - when he was testifying - after he testified in a Judiciary Senate Committee against Internet child pornography, it was a real cat-brass (ph) kind of thing that happened. And he really was amazing and that was the germ of the idea. I originally wanted to make a narrative movie which someone else was playing Barry. And I - because I didn't want Barry to have to relive the events of his childhood - and so it became a documentary only recently. I had struggled with getting a screenplay made and so - Robin Williams was my best friend and he had - he was a big fan of Barry's and knew Barry's story. And he suggested that I make this movie as a documentary. And in fact, his involvement was the - how the movie got started. You know, he gave me the initial money to start filming it, which was just two Februarys ago. And that's how this movie all came about.
GROSS: And, Barry Crimmins, how did you react to the idea of a documentary about you, a documentary that would include you talking about being raped as a child?
CRIMMINS: Well, I have no problems talking about it because I've kind of learned not to be complicit in the crimes that were committed against me. And so I was happy when Bob called and said he wanted to do a documentary because trying to make, you know, a narrative about it was pretty complicated. And I took one swipe at a script for him. I guess you can't have a 340-page script so...
GOLDTHWAIT: You know, people frown upon that. It - Barry actually...
CRIMMINS: You know, I tried to be inclusive.
GOLDTHWAIT: It opened with him on a jet. And I was like, well, OK, I can't afford a jet so...
GOLDTHWAIT: So we're already in hot water. You know, my - you know, I'm used to making my movies for very little money and way outside the system. So yeah, there was going to be a lot of problems making it as a narrative. But I had heard Barry on Marc Maron's podcast, on "WTF," and then I heard him on Dana Gould's podcast. And I - when I heard him talking about the events, I - you know, often as his pal, when we would talk about these events, I would see him go into some forms of shock. And when I heard him discussing these things and I felt it - I felt that it was almost ready to pull the trigger on Barry doing a documentary because I felt that he could be in touch with these things, but I didn't feel I would be putting my friend in peril in asking him these questions about these very hard events.
GROSS: Barry, you were known for being a very angry comic onstage for sometimes heckling the audience, for sometimes berating other comics, for being shallow. So now it's assumed that the anger came from having been raped repeatedly as a child. Do you think that that's true? Do you think that that is the source of the anger?
CRIMMINS: Oh, that's certainly a source of some stuff. First off, I didn't berate that many comics really. I mean, I would - you know, I would give them some...
GROSS: I don't know. In the movie it seems like you did (laughter).
CRIMMINS: Well, yeah, it's not the whole - you know, I mean, there were no cameras at The Ding Ho at 10 o'clock in the morning when I was talking to them on the phone, you know? So, you know - but, you know, after three shows on a Saturday night some guy comes in with a camera and (laughter) I was relaxing by then. But I really didn't - I mean, I think you can see how many good friends I have who are comedians and you don't make, you know...
GROSS: Oh, no, absolutely, yeah. I - yeah.
CRIMMINS: So I didn't - I would try to convey vital information to them at times and just insist on originality. That was about as tough as I got about berating anybody. I just didn't want people - other people doing other people's stuff. I wanted original stuff at my club.
GOLDTHWAIT: And Barry, you know, the fact that not being derivative was so important is why he was responsible for this greenhouse that started so many people with completely unique different styles. You know, Barry was there, you know, helping people like Steven Wright and Paula Poundstone get started and Lenny Clarke, Steve Sweeney, Kevin Meaney - all these folks - Denis Leary. And because there was an emphasis on being original that came from Barry, that's why there were so many different kinds of comics that were original that came out of that scene. Yeah, and, you know, I will say, in his defense, Barry never - he never attacked the audience first. It was always - he was never first blood. He wasn't like a guy, you know...
CRIMMINS: I was never one of those guys - well, where you from? What do you do, you know, and harassing someone in the front row because they've got a funny-looking shirt on. I would like to - but going back to - 'cause this is a very important question Terry asked - I'd like to think that I would've been upset and angry about many of the social issues I've been upset angry about whether or not I'd been raped as a child. You know, I know all sorts of people that have stood in those causes with me and have stood up for justice and fought for, you know, social justice who had perfect childhoods. So, you know, it's certainly the idea that I really root for the underdog and I know what it is to be oppressed and overwhelmed and have no chance. That certainly plays a part of it with me. But I'd hope that I would've ended up in a similar place anyway because I'd like to think I have a good heart.
GROSS: My guests are comics Barry Crimmins and Bobcat Goldthwait. Goldthwait has made a new documentary about Crimmins titled "Call Me Lucky." We'll talk about how being raped as a child changed Crimmins's life as an adult after we take a short break. I'm Terry Gross, and this is FRESH AIR.
GROSS: This is FRESH AIR. I'm Terry Gross. Let's get back to my interview with comics Bobcat Goldthwait and Barry Crimmins. They both became important in the '80s. Crimmins founded two Boston comedy clubs which launched or gave a boost to the careers of many performers, including Goldthwait. Goldthwait was known for his manic persona in comedy clubs and in movies, a persona which he's since abandoned. He now directs TV shows and independent films. Goldthwait's new documentary, "Call Me Lucky," is about Crimmins, focusing on both his place in comedy and the trauma of having been raped several times as a child, which eventually led him as an adult to track down pedophiles operating in Internet chat rooms. This part of our conversation may not be appropriate for young children.
So, Barry Crimmins, let me just ask you a little bit about those formative experiences when you were repeatedly raped by - was it your babysitter's father?
CRIMMINS: It was - I didn't - it was some sort of relationship that wouldn't have been made clear in the late '50s, but probably, like, a boyfriend or something of the kid's mother. And she would come over for a while and then this guy would show up. You know, my parents would, you know - like, he'd make sure my parents were clear of the house and then he'd show up. And I have no animosity in my heart for the babysitter because I'm pretty sure it was me or her, you know, so - in one way or the other. She wasn't compliant, you know, with setting me up because it was her idea. She was a young kid and I always wondered what happened to her.
GROSS: Yeah, I certainly wonder that too. Was there anyone you could tell or ask to protect you?
CRIMMINS: I was pretty young, you know? So - and then really put into shock, so I guess that's why - I mean, I can't really figure it out to a T. My sister did end up protecting me when she finally discovered it. She made a run for it and, you know, the babysitter...
GROSS: She walked in on you as it was happening.
CRIMMINS: Yeah, well, she came down - yeah, she come down the basement stairs. In my head I always had this picture of her being caught by the foot. You can see in the movie at one point I'm looking at the stairs and I'm - that's just really vividly coming back to me. The thing I always remembered was her being caught, you know, and she was trying to go get help. But, in the end, she did get help, but it ended up being this thing where my parents didn't find out what happened, but Mary Jo said they were mean to Barry. They hurt Barry and whatever and that - but the babysitters had a counter story in there and it just became - you know, they just stopped using that babysitter is basically what happened.
GROSS: How old were you and how old was your sister?
CRIMMINS: I was 4 and she doesn't - she says 5 in the movie, but she was actually about 8.
GROSS: How long did it go on?
CRIMMINS: It's hard to say. I would say over a period of weeks. It happened several times.
GROSS: Did you remember this happening? I mean, did the memory always stay with you or do you think you repressed it for a while?
CRIMMINS: Well, I mean, what I - I say I always knew and I never knew. But when I would have flashbacks or whatever, I would be - it's hard to be verbal because, I mean, when you're 4 years old you don't have a big vocabulary, you know, so...
GROSS: So it was your sister who brought it up with you that helped bring back memories and helped you get to the point of talking...
CRIMMINS: Well, yeah, I mean, I was really at the end of my rope. I was in LA writing "The Dennis Miller Show" and I was - and this is a scoop for you - I was a bit suicidal at the time, so - but then when she, you know, disclosed to me then we - then it all sort of pulled together. And I just realized that this pain I'd been walking around in and the self-loathing that I felt to make sense of the world because, you know, why did I feel like this all the time? It must be me. There must be something wrong with me and, you know, there was nothing wrong with me. I was just in someone else's pain in somebody else's, you know - I was carrying that guy's poison around. And so you go through a period after that where - when you divest yourself of that you're kind of hollow for a while and you have to kind of - you feel like the wind's whistling through you. But eventually I, you know, began to fill that hole in. And then as a few years passed, I began to work on behalf of contemporary abused children. And that's how I ended up doing the confrontation of AOL about the child pornography trafficking that was going on. And that was probably the turning point and the most healing thing I ever did.
GROSS: So you wrote repeatedly to AOL and asked them to shutdown these pedophile chat rooms.
CRIMMINS: Right, and they were making a lot of money on it, so they just filed a - because in - back in those days the modems were really slow. And so it took, like, a half-hour to upload a, you know, low-grade picture.
GROSS: We're talking dial-up era.
CRIMMINS: Right, right, and so it took a long time to upload each photo and all these - and then if you're on AOL for more than 12 hours or something a month, they started charging you $3 or $4 an hour. So when you find, you know, thousands of people that are, you know, in the same chat rooms all the time or you find that one of the chat rooms that are named thusly - I mean, like anyone else, when I first went in there I just said what - are you people out of your minds? And they started talking to me about the First Amendment and stuff. And as Andrew Vachss said, you know, you can mug somebody and try to call it performance art, but that doesn't mean you're going to get away with it. And I just realized - you know, I would go in there as an adult, you know, with my own AOL name and people would just start sending me child pornography immediately. Like, no sort of - they just, oh, that's what you're here for, here. And they expected you to send child pornography back to them. And so I immediately contacted AOL and they said, oh, thank you very much for being, you know, a bunch of corporate - good citizen of our community, blah, blah, blah. But as time passed and I watched the problem grow exponentially, their answers became, you know, they - the back and forth between us just became more and more ridiculous.
GROSS: So you eventually testify to the Senate Judiciary Committee. They were investigating child pornography, and you brought it to the area of Internet child pornography only to find that most of the senators on the Judiciary Committee had never been online. They didn't understand how the Internet worked and they didn't really comprehend the concept of a chat room.
GROSS: So it was hard for them - as my understanding - it was hard for them to really comprehend what you were talking about.
CRIMMINS: They were - I mean...
GROSS: Nevertheless, what was the outcome of - what do you think was the final outcome of your protest to AOL? You're testifying to the Senate Judiciary Committee and you're going to - was it the DAs office in Cleveland?
CRIMMINS: Right. Well, yeah, the - no, the - well, the FBI picked up all the information from me at my - they picked up all the files I had. I know that some arrests were made because that - I couldn't quantify it for you. But I know some arrests were made. As far as that company's concerned, I always feel that its cornerstone is very bloody. You know, they made a lot of money off those people and they played it dumb for as long as they could. After the hearing they were embarrassed. And after that they - well, they went to a flat rate, too, so that might've been part of it. But they cleaned it up pretty quickly after that, so I publicly embarrassed them. But they, you know, they stalled for a long enough time to make an awful lot of money.
GROSS: My guests are comics Barry Crimmins and Bobcat Goldthwait. Goldthwait has made a new documentary about Crimmins titled "Call Me Lucky." We'll talk more after a break. This is FRESH AIR.
GROSS: This is FRESH AIR. Let's get back to my interview with comics Bobcat Goldthwait and Barry Crimmins. Goldthwait has made a documentary about Crimmins, focusing on his place in comedy and on the trauma of having been raped as a child. When we left off, Crimmins was talking about tracking down pedophiles on Internet chat rooms.
Barry Crimmins, do you feel like you were ever psychologically hurting yourself or risking hurting yourself by looking at so much child pornography in an attempt to bring down the child pornographers?
CRIMMINS: Well, I mean, it was a difficult period for me. But it just came down to - it was a more difficult period for those children. And there were more children out there who hadn't been harmed yet, you know, who might be harmed. And I contacted a lot of people, a lot of authorities, a lot of different people and not that many people were interested. And the other thing was I - you know, I mean, I have PTSD, so when I'm doing stuff like that, I'm - you know, I know how to - I knew by then very well how to operate in a state of shock. I'd done it most of my life. So basically they make their own worst enemies. You know, I could deal with it to some extent because part of me would always be shut down but not the part of me that saw those kids' eyes. You know, it wasn't pleasant, but, I mean, I can - as I often say - you know, I'd much rather live with the world's disdain than risk my own self-loathing. And, you know, if I turn my back on what I saw there, you know, I could have never lived with myself.
And I was immediately trying to get other people to take over and kick in and be a - you know, be a civilization and do something about this, but they weren't. So I had no choice. So I just kept going. And it wasn't about me. It was about those kids, and it's about all the kids walking around. Now we go out and do the film, and people come up to me. They're 30 years old or whatever, and they say to me, hey, thanks a lot. You know, I was on AOL. Some creeps approached me, and they didn't get too far. And then it seemed like that stuff kind of stopped for a while. And maybe it did. I mean, it's still - the Internet's still a nightmare for that stuff. But at the time, you know, it was a nightmare that no one knew about. And so I couldn't have helped keep that secret.
GROSS: So the man who abused you, who knew your babysitter - and you're not quite clear what his relationship to her was...
GROSS: ...You eventually found out he did time in prison for abusing boys. What did you learn about him?
CRIMMINS: I learned that he came from a, you know, a tough background, and he had spent a lot of time in the system as a child in foster homes and so on and so forth. And, you know, he had a terrible life and - although most people who are sexually abused as children do not become pedophiles, I'm convinced that almost all pedophiles were abused as children. And so when I wrote a piece for the Boston Phoenix about it, it got picked up by the Syracuse New Times. And this wonderful social worker from Syracuse had just been part of a case, and she had - well, a couple years earlier - that put this guy away for the last time because he died in prison. So I heard - he was identified to me. We had his location. He was the guy, you know? And the first I - found out who he was. I - you know, then I - for a second, I was thinking, I'm going to go talk to this person. And then within 30 seconds - no, he died in prison. And then I learned he died in prison. No one claimed his body. And so that was - you know, that was that. So it was a waste of a life.
And I actually tried to find the location of his grave from the state of New York - but I didn't get anywhere - to just go put flowers on it just to - not because - because - to celebrate the fact that I didn't become him, to celebrate the fact that he couldn't extinguish the, you know, the light in me - he didn't anyway. He might've been able to had he been given more time, but he didn't. And he lived this miserable life where he was - had this - you know, where he just couldn't keep himself from committing these horrendous crimes against small children. And then - you know, he started out as a small children - as a victim, as a child - as a victim of that and he died as a perpetrator of those crimes in a prison cell. And for all the damage he did, he certainly paid a big price and had a terrible life because of it. And so sitting around hating him is nothing I have a lot of time for.
GROSS: If you're just joining us, I have two guests. Bobcat Goldthwait is a comic and director who just made a movie documenting the life of his good friend Barry Crimmins, who is also a comic, who founded two important comedy clubs in Boston. And this documentary is about his contribution to the comedy scene, but it also is about his childhood when he was abused as a child and then later as an adult, tried to out child pornographers and did a pretty successful job at getting some of them put behind bars.
So, you know, finally, I'm thinking - one of the things I thought about watching the movie - 'cause part of the movie is about the comedy scene that Barry helped create. And there's a lot of comics in the movie reflecting on why they feel so strongly about Barry and their relationship to him and all that they have done - well, that he's done to help them and everything. And I was just thinking about, like, you both got to know each other when you were young and a lot of the comics in there got to know Barry when they were young. And then you see what's happened to a lot of these people now. And you think about, like, some of the comics who were fueled by, you know, kind of like anger and insecurity have gone on to do such interesting things.
And, you know, like, Bobcat, like, you've dropped the persona and you're, like - you're directing things. You directed Kimmel's show for three years. You've directed episodes of Marc Maron's show. You're doing independent movies that have developed quite a cult following. Barry, you've gone on to, you know, have a mission as well as to continue with comedy. And I - so I guess I'm just kind of curious in hearing you reflect how you've seen yourselves and other comics change as they've gotten older and as some of, like, the more youthful anger or the more youthful insecurities give way to other emotions, other activities, other reflections.
GOLDTHWAIT: Well, you know, I - you know, I often jokingly say that I retired from acting the same time they stopped hiring me, but that actually is not even the truth. I've done a very un-American thing, and that's Barry. You know, I quit. You know, I quit all these things that weren't making me happy. And, you know, I was well-known, and it is lucrative to make certain kinds of comedies and perpetuate this persona. But I was so unhappy, you know? And I often say, you know, quit - keep quitting until you end up someplace you don't want to leave.
And so I think early on, you know, for some of us - all right, speak for myself - you've got this rage, and some of that rage is actually just like, I should be famous and everyone else is, or you're angry, angry, angry. And then as an adult, I said, OK, well I can - I do have these skills. I can do this. Now, what do I really want to do? And, you know - and for me, it's to tell stories and work with people I admire. You know, I worked with - yeah, I worked on a lot of different shows and things that people didn't even know about. Like, I worked on "Chappelle's Show" when that was on. I worked on a whole bunch of different things. And I'm really happy being behind the scenes, working with really talented people and people I admire. And then, you know, I make my tiny movies. You know, it's a big thrill to be on the show because, you know, my movies in general make hundreds of dollars...
GOLDTHWAIT: ...Hundreds of actual dollars. So this kind of exposure is really special to me, and I appreciate you having us on.
GROSS: Well, you're going to have to come back.
Barry, is there anything you want to add about watching yourself or other comics get older?
CRIMMINS: I think that as we - a lot of us are drawn to the stage or show business or whatever because, you know, we didn't feel so great about ourselves, and we didn't know how to do anything about that, so we sought external approval. And as people got older and dealt with things and began to approve of themselves, then they started to find what else they could do and what else they were capable of. And, you know, this doesn't apply to everybody, but it's a lot of people. Once you get past that point where, you know, you understand that, you know, you can't hate anybody till you hate yourself and you can't love anybody till you love yourself. Once you get past that, then you're pretty liberated to try a bunch of other things.
GROSS: Well, I want to thank you both so much for talking with us, and congratulations on the film. Thank you.
CRIMMINS: Thank you, Terry.
GOLDTHWAIT: Well, thank you so much. This has been exciting.
GROSS: Bobcat Goldthwait's new documentary about Barry Crimmins is titled "Call Me Lucky." After we take a short break, our jazz critic Kevin Whitehead will review a reissue by the late flute player Sam Most, who influenced other flute players including Rahsaan Roland Kirk.

Zydeco is the folk music of New Orleans. Generally upbeat, positive, celebratory and bluesy, it is the sound of bayou culture, it is the voice of the people of Louisiana, it is American tradition.
Within every genre of music there is a special artist who comes along that brings that genre into a new generation. For zydeco, Dwayne Dopsie is that special artist. The youngest son of the late King of Zydeco, Rockin' Dopsie, this guy has big shoes to fill. With one foot firmly planted in his family tradition and the other in innovation, Dopsie has accepted the challenge and continues to be the innovator for this traditional music. He has taken the best of his father — in style and showmanship — and is carving his own musical territory.
Known for his respect of traditional sounds, this singer-songwriter and accordionist is not afraid to branch out into other genres, infusing blues, funk, rock, pop and reggae into his own high-energy style that defies stereotypes and blazes a refreshingly distinct path for 21st century zydeco music.
For Dopsie, music is personal and, although he occasionally spices up the traditional genre with rock and other contemporary influences, Dopsie readily admits he is old school. That probably has something to do with the fact that while he's something of a traditionalist, the tradition is all about getting people moving.
Dopsie plays a unique style of zydeco. As a small child, he was interested in the washboard, but quickly realized he had incredible talent with an accordion. He has been playing the accordion since age 7. He says that zydeco is his calling, music that is in his blood, heart and soul. No surprise since it is his family's legacy dating back to his grandfather.
Now, Dopsie is on a mission to bring zydeco from the Louisiana bayou to the rest of America and the rest of the world. For Dopsie, zydeco is like drinking water and his passion to take it to other places is what drives him. He feels it is important for the younger generations to know where it came from since it has such deep roots. It started back when people were still picking beans and cotton in the fields. Dopsie also incorporates a heavy dose of Creole culture into his songs, including singing some of the lyrics in French.
Backing him on his quest are the Zydeco Hellraisers (Paul Lafleur on washboard, Kevin Minor on drums, Dion Pierre on bass, Kipori Woods on guitar and Reggie Smith Jr. on saxophone). The band is tight, with incredible musicianship and astounding enthusiasm. If unfamiliar, they will give you an introduction to zydeco that you'll never forget.
Dwayne Dopsie and the Zydeco Hellraisers create a new hybrid that fuses the traditional sound with the energy of a new generation. It's a mixture of blues and intense playing, which gives it the power of a freight train. It is unique, high-energy, blues infused soul music and they will definitely kick some bayou grooves.
Dwayne Dopsie & The Zydeco Hellraisers perform at the Tahoe Donner Driving Range as part of its Summer Concert Series on July 27. The all ages show is $35 in advance or $40 at the door. Tickets may be purchased online at tahoedonner/shop. For more information, call (530) 587-9400. For more information on Dwayne Dopsie & The Zydeco Hellraisers, visit dwaynedopsie.com.
Saturday, July 27 | 8 p.m. | $35 advance/$40 at the door | All ages | Tahoe Donner Driving Range | Truckee, Calif.

Hosts Mary and Blake discuss all things Outlander Season 1 and 2 with some of the Outlander Cast Blog writers for the first ever Clan Gathering. This was our LIVE STREAM episode right before the premiere started! In this episode, you will learn all about the marketing of season 2, the trailer, casting decisions, what we expect for season 2, the final countdown, and what we think they need to do to improve from season 1. It's raw, uncut, and a completely genuine podcasting experience. *Please note that we had minor techinical difficulties with the Bloggers audio within the first 5 minutes. But they do appear after the 5 minute mark.
Agreed on the search…..could have done the conversation with Brother Anselmo much more in depth. | {

Directions (11 – 15): In the following passage there are blanks each of which has been numbered. The numbers are printed below the passage and against each five words are suggested one of which fits the blank appropriately. Find out the appropriate word in each case.
SRK's __ (A) __ and felicity with words and thoughts can only be compared to the hand eye coordination of Virender Sehwag on a great day. There's no question yet to be formulated that can't be tonked out of the park by a smashing Shah Rukh Khan__ (B) __. Someday someone should come out with a book with just his __ (C) __.

13. Which one of the words most appropriately fits the blank labelled (C)?
14. Which one of the words most appropriately fits the blank labelled (D)?
15. Which one of the words most appropriately fits the blank labelled (E)?
1. A) The lion was injured because he got into a fight with a wild elephant in the forest.
2. C) The fox introduced himself to the donkey as the minister of the kingdom.
3. D) The donkey was hesitant at first when the fox came up to him because he had run away from the village to a new place and did not know whom to trust.
4. A) The fox lured the donkey by saying that he could feed on the grass growing around the palace. From this we can infer the donkey likes to feed on grass.
5. B) The major concern for the animals is hunger. The background of the story is such that both the animals: the lion and the donkey got into trouble because of their hunger.
6. D) The fox is the most intelligent animal in the story as he could lure the prey away and also give the lion good advice.
7. C) The moral of the story is that you should never act in haste. The donkey took his decision hastily and got into trouble. The lion was impatient and thus lost the prey.
8. E) 'Cunning' means having or showing skill in achieving one's ends by deceit or trickery. Thus the correct meanings are both 'crafty' and 'wily'.
10. A) In the context of the passage, the phrase 'this was his chance' means to take advantage of an opportunity or 'seize the opportunity'.
11. C) The passage is about Shah Rukh Khan has a way with words. 'Felicity' means suitability. Thus the first two options are ruled out. 'Difficulty' would mean the opposite of the intended meaning. 'Talent' is a generic term and does not go down well with 'words'. The best fit would be 'ease' as it also connotes well with the comparison suggested.
12. A) We are looking for a word that is synonymous to the meaning of 'answer to a question' as the concerned sentence talks about the formulation of a 'question' . Hence, 'reply' is the best fit.
13. D) The passage speaks about Shah Rukh Khan being famous because he has a way with words. Thus the book that would be published must be on his 'quotes'.
14. C) 'Gift of the gab' is a common phrase that means to have the natural ability to talk in a way that people find entertaining.
15. E) Since someone spoke about something that needed courage to do so, the thing must not have been 'decreasing' or reducing' in any way. Thus, 'intolerance' must be growing in India and option (E) is the right word to fit the blank. | {

Not a lot this week in terms of things actually done, but that is to be expected as most all things have been done. It is now just a matter of fixing a few issues, all of which in the greater scheme of things are relatively minor.
On Monday we had Arden do there QA, which is essentially where the site supervisor and his manager do a walk through of the home and look for defects or things to be addressed. To my pleasure this was quite thorough as I found out at our practical completion inspection (PCI) which we had on Friday.
For our PCI, my wife and I met up with our supervisor and essentially walked through each room of the house looking for potential defects. Again, there didnt seem to be too much wrong which is good. For the most part it was just minor defects in paint which we marked for the painters to come back and touch up. The whole PCI process took about 2 hours. We signed off one about 15 defects to be addressed prior to handover.
This however did not include our shower screen which would make 16. This is an ongoing issue we have had with our ensuite which I have described in previous posts. I spoke with my site supervisor today and told him that we would like it replaced. Unfortunately it seems as though there is a delay at the moment with having shower screens made which I hope will not cause a delay, or too much of a delay.
Other than the shower screen, the only other relatively big issue is with our vinyl flooring. The quadding has to be removed around the kitchen and there are a few planks that look like someone has walked on them with a chemical on their shoes which has put some red stains in them. These panels will be replaced, however it will likely mean that the skirting boards will have to also come off and also need to be repainted or touched up.
We have been told to expect handover to be 19 October 2018. This would bring the complete build to a total of 22 weeks. In my opinion this is exceptional, especially when I am hearing some are on or above a year (that said, they are likely building much bigger, double story homes). We will just have to wait and see what the next couple of weeks brings, and in the meantime start (continue) packing!
So week 17 was posted a week late, but I am posting this weeks a little on the early side!
So it was not till Wednesday that the flooring was installed which was a little later than I was expecting. They also had a house clean done today so most things look very neat. However this clean may have been a little premature as the carpenters have to come back to install the skirting boards still. This may happen tomorrow, if not next week.
Arden's QA inspection has also been pushed back to next week as a result of the skirting boards not being installed or painted. This is fine, it is not a big delay.
Now unfortunately for the disappointing points. We paid a significant sum of money to have the the flooring installed with no quadding, especially around the kitchen area. The contract actually states that the money we paid to have the floor installed with no quadding was for having trades return to install the caesarstone waterfall edges over the flooring and to install fake kickers under the kitchen cabinets so that there is no visible quadding.
Unfortunately this has not happen, in the photos below you cannot really see this, as I took the photos to primarily show off how nice the floors look rather than the fault, but it does look very cheap in the kitchen area. I have raised this already with my supervisor as I was quite disappointed with this. To his credit, he did reply after hours to my text message to reassure me that he was aware of the issue and that we would discuss it further tomorrow. I will not be accepting this and if it holds up handover, so be it. I expect a completed house at handover to the contract specifications. Hopefully this will not be a too time consuming fix!
The other issue is the tiling in the ensuite. I spoke with the site supervisor last week about this as he told me that shower screens had been measured that week. He also advised me that the tilers were going in this week and would correct the tiles in the shower before the screens were installed. Unfortunately this never happened, but the shower screens have now been installed. This was another thing I raised in my text message and I outlined how disappointed I was that I was told it would be rectified and it wasnt. I do not know if this was deliberate, but I would more likely assume that it was the trade who did not follow instructions or "forgot". Either way I am also not handing over till this is rectified.
I will post an update at some point tomorrow once I have actually had a chance to talk to my supervisor. But enough dwelling on the negatives, just look at our fantastic flooring! Very happy with our choice!
Not to worry kathysangel, the pictures of our flooring were taken before the skirting boards were installed, it looks a lot more finished now! the next photos I upload will be of the completed home with the floors fully finished!
Given the lead up to handover, one would have thought that there would be a lot of action in getting this finished up. However this week saw little to no action. The only things we could see that had been actioned was that the fly screens had been installed, and our Powerwall 2 has also now finally been installed. It would also appear that one of the downpipes that had been installed crooked has been moved straight and reattached.
My wife and I also took to some earthwork over the weekend. Arden's earth movers appeared to have not removed quite a large pile of dirt with them and when I questioned my site supervisor about what they were doing with it his response was "nothing". To be fair, he was not our site supervisor from the start so he never saw the block before the house was literally on it, so he would not have known that the dirt pile was never there to begin with. That said, whilst it is a fair bit of dirt which takes some time to move, our house is sitting quite a bit off the ground around the sides and back, so relocating this to where it is needed will save us money in having to try to bring in fill. Our site supervisor did also say he would see what he could do if we wanted it removed.
At the time of writing this post-weekly update, our supervisor has advised that we are still a go for handover on Friday 19 October. However, there is still a lot that needs to be addressed in terms of the PCI report. My supervisor told me that a lot of trades were going to be working in the house on Wednesday (17/10/2018.). He told me that if there is going to be a hold up on handover it will be because a trade has let him down on Wednesday. He did tell me that he would give me a call on Wednesday afternoon to confirm handover, or a delay. Fingers crossed for a handover on Friday (with all/most issues fixed!).
That's exciting. Fingers and toes crossed. Although the chance of a lot of trades coming through with the goods all on one day... I certaininly wouldn't have night expectations haha.
Typically Arden tries to have QA, then PCI a week later, and handover the week following. In theory this gives Arden enough time to fix up most issues raised in QA prior to PCI and then enough time prior to handover to actually address the issues you raise prior to handover.
However our experience was/is a little different. QA was pushed back and PCI wasn't pushed back as far so we ended up having QA and PCI in the same week (I think, I may have mentioned it in a previous post). Handover was then originally going to be scheduled for the next week, but given some of the issues that needed to be addressed our supervisor told us it would most likely be 2x weeks away (which was last Friday). I am about to write up my next weekly post which will address this a little more.
As I had expected, we were again delayed for handover. On Wednesday (17/10/2018.) afternoon my site supervisor gave me a call and advised me that the ensuite showerhead and the replacement kitchen tapware (which was stolen) had not arrived and he had expected them to arrive that day to be installed by the plumbers. This resulted in a push of handover from Friday (19/10/2018.) to Tuesday (23/10/2018.). This delay did not seem too bad.
My wife and I then decided that we would go down on Wednesday evening to see what work had been done by the trades considering there were so many of them going in to fix our outstanding issues and our fencer had also started. We discovered that our fencer had only really put up the posts (which was fine), but the trades decided to leave the house completely unlocked! I guess it was good in that we were able to go through, but the fact is they should have locked up so no one could get in who was not supposed to!!
We discovered that the trades did a sh*t job for most cases and failed to address the vast majority of issues, but they did leave a big sh*t in one of our toilets which stunk the whole house out! I had to fill a bucket with water and try to flush it down! I should not have to do that! The plumbers were also meant to connect the toilets to the water supply on that day which obviously did not happen!
After our walkthrough I sent a text message to my supervisor just addressing the things that had been missed. He had told me he would be walking through on Thursday so I thought I would just give him a heads up on what I had noticed for him to check out himself. On Thursday I receive a call from him and he was fuming! He said the trades had not done a lot of what he had asked and went as far as to tell me that he was not paying the carpenters because they did not do the job at all! With this, he said that he would need to push that handover back to Friday (26/10/2018.). However he assured me that this would be the handover day and would do everything to make it happen.
I am not overly disappointed with this as it was my expectation that there would be a delay. However what I am disappointed with was that in the 2x weeks that Arden was given post PCI, almost nothing was done during that first week. Not the end of the world though, just gives us a little more time to pack and clean I guess. We also took the last 2x weekends to move some dirt in preparation for having the driveway done.
Our supervisor has told me that he will be at the property on Monday and Tuesday to ensure things are done properly. He asked for Wednesday and Thursday just to be sure that if there were any hold ups that he would have a few days to address the issues.
On a side note though, handover this Friday gone likely would not have happened anyway as the bank took over 2x weeks to process our request for final loan drawdown, that was a nightmare to deal with and I did not receive the cheque till after midday on Friday!
Hopefully with some luck we will be able to have handover this coming Friday. It is looking promising at this stage, however it wouldn't take much to result in another delay, but they cannot delay me by any more than another week as we told out landlord we would be out by 4 November!!
This update is LONG overdue, mainly for the fact that we were handed the keys to the house on Friday (26/10/2018.) and we were frantically moving everything in and getting things organised!
As part of the handover process, we went through the house with our supervisor to note of things that had/had not been addressed, and noted any other issues that we saw (which were limited really). Once that had been done, we handed our supervisor the cheque, he provided us with the keys (and went and showed that the Arden master key no longer works) and we were also given a pack from Arden with a few nice things in it as a congratulations gift.
With regards to having the internet connected, I inquired with my supervisor on numerous occasions as to whether the electricians would install the NBN box in the garage wired services cabinet ("WSC") to which I was told that they would. However on the day of handover the electricians were on site installing the ethernet ports in the WSC and I asked them about the NBN box, to which they replied "NBNco do that, not us" which is what my original understanding was! It seems there was a miscommunication between myself and my supervisor as to what the NBN box was that I was referring to!! So those building in new estates, note that you should get in contact with your preferred RSP to get the process moving along asap!
The trades had left by around midday and the house was finally ours! We spent most of the day moving everything in as we rented a truck. I also received a call from Origin energy (Arden's provider) regarding the switch of the power and gas from Arden to ourselves... They really took no time at all to swap that out of their name!
I also noticed that the solar inverter did not seem to be working. I checked the switch board and the switch for the inverter was locked to the off position, which I found strange... this I investigated further the following week.
Finally, regarding our ensuite... Not only is the shower screen wrong, but also the height that they roughed-in the pipe for the shower head/rail was way to low. This was a result of the plumbers not considering that we custom ordered a shower head and rail and they roughed-in the connection at their standard height, rather than an appropriate height for the fitting. This will mean significant works to be done to address this... more in the next update.
Overall we are very happy with the quality of the home. There are the odd things that we would have liked done differently and some things that we think were not done very well, but for most things the job has been done fantastically! We are very happy with our new home and can forgive some of the minor annoyances (as these should be fixed).
This will be the last "weekly" update as the house is now completed (except for minor maintenance and repairs).
This week has seen a number of "teething" issues crop up which are or have been addressed. I will try to start from the start as to which trades have been through the house this week.
Let's start with the electricians. These guys returned on Monday to fix 2x issues that I had noticed over the weekend, one much more serious than the other. The serious one was that they left a live double power-point out of the wall in the ensuite. This wall-point was taken off so that they could put a power-point in the hot water system cavity, however they forgot to come back in and connect the point back to the wall!! Due to the issues with the ensuite we have not been using this room anyway so it was not too much of an issue. The second issue was that 2x of my ethernet (data) points were not connected at all and one was not connected properly... They addressed this also in their visit.
The electricians then returned the next day also as the antenna was not installed (i.e. it was forgotten about). So this was installed on Tuesday. I then attempted to set up my wireless access point for the WiFi and networking and was having significant trouble with this. I ended up determining that the cable that runs to the location of the wireless access point on the roof has been damaged somehow and does not work properly. This makes 4 out of my total 7 data points faulty on handover... poor form electricians! I'd hate to be someone who has no clue about this stuff! The electricians have not yet been out to fix the cable for the wireless access point (they should be coming tomorrow morning, nice and early... sigh...).
Next will be the plumbers. One of my worst fears came true... Blocked sewerage pipes. We noticed that the toilets were not flushing properly at first, but it took a day or two to fully realise the problem. When my wife was in the shower I noticed that all the drains were "bubbling" air up from them, it was rather odd, I then proceeded to have a shower and the shower base was filling with water, till all of a sudden it wasnt. I figured that there must have been enough pressure to remove the blockage... how I was wrong! It turned out that the water rose to such a height that it began overflowing into the backyard!! We required a drainer to come out and clear the blackage, we have not had an issue since fortunately. However my supervisor informed me that the first drainer noticed that there was a crack in once of the pipes and sent another guy out to fix that. However I was not aware of this so I told the drainer not to worry and sent him home. Looks like I will be having them back yet again to fix the pipe. In my defence, my wife who was home when the first drainer was working told me that the first drainer had told her there was no damage to the pipes, so I was not to know any better!
The plumber did also come back on Thursday to start works on the ensuite by removing the relevant tiles to raise the pipe for the shower rail. He also tightened a leaky tap out the front. I think it is still leaking a little though, so I will have to look into this more.
Next will be the carpenter. He came back to install the lock on our second smaller master bedroom door. He was also to correct our lounge room sliding doors which were not originally installed correctly. I also had him fix our striker plates for our doors (the best he could, still not great but better than it was) as the latch for the internal doors were hitting the door frame before the striker plate, damaging the frame and the paintwork. The privacy lock for the master bedroom was also installed on the ensuite toilet door instead, so this was to be changed, long-story short here is that we are going to be provided with another privacy lock for the master bedroom door instead due to issues with removing it from the ensuite toilet door.
We had a cauker in briefly on Thursday just to touch up under the island bench as well.
In terms of getting the internet sorted, the process actually were smoother and significantly faster than I thought! From signing up with our internet service provider on handover day (Friday), NBNco came out on Tuesday and hooked up the connection from the street and since I was home they also installed the relevant hardware in the garage. I was connected to the internet the same day. 3 business days to connect is amazing and quite lucky, but I am very happy with this!
My brother and I have also started mounting security cameras and other security equipment. I think I am also getting someone today to install all our light fittings, one of my brothers friends who is a licensed electrician. My brother (who is a carpenter) will also be getting up in the roof this evening to connect the security cameras.
Other than that, we had furniture delivered and have been cleaning and unboxing things all week! I'm certainly glad I took a week off of annual leave to get all this sorted, but man I feel like I havent rested in a week! So much for rest and relaxation on annual leave! Once we are settled and have done some landscaping I will post some completed pictures. I will also do some more updates here and there as I go!
Most things are in now, I will see to some pictures when I am home tonight from work!
Here are some pictures of our nice and clean areas, most other bedrooms are full of stuff still!
So much room in our new home, we love it!
The flooring is vinyl planks from Perfect Timber Floors in the colour Nevis. We also upgraded to "no quad".
You've done that up really nice!
I am going to push the friendship and ask for outside shots! This is lime a display home for us as we are building the same house. As you probably know there's no displays on atm. | {

ELEMENT offers the construction industry a complete range of Design-Build services including assistance with alternates and options, value engineering, fabrication and scheduling etc, all tailored to meet project requirements.
Managing the Design / Fabrication / Delivery process is our core competency and is unique in the industry. This capability ensures consistent control over critical aspects of project execution; design, engineering, fabrication and delivery are all managed under one roof, thus dramatically reducing the coordination required on the part of the Contractor.
Every project undertaken by ELEMENT is unique in the challenges presented. We tailor our process and strategy for every task. By approaching each project afresh and unhindered by previous thought, we are best able to provide simple clear solutions concerning all aspects of the delivery program.
Through a set of proprietary processes, ELEMENT sets about building an execution plan that targets on time delivery and meets the quality and functional mandates set by the team. These processes has been developed and refined over many diverse projects and are demonstrably successful. The advantages to the Construction team is predictable risk reduction supporting project completion.
ELEMENT provides full technical support during the Preconstruction phase. From cost estimating through scheduling and installation advice, our skilled and experienced staff support Contractors' efforts to mobilize for the construction phase. Our experience with complex custom architectural challenges has the breadth and depth needed to provide insight into what it will take to complete a project successfully.
Often our services are called upon to assist in developing proposals that form part of a competitive bid process. On many occasions ELEMENT has been instrumental in securing a project by providing innovative solutions to design challenges. By thinking outside the box and providing samples and small scale mockups, ELEMENT supports competitive bids with solutions demonstrating design intent with significant cost or schedule benefits. Take a look at our case studies for examples.
Typically, longer lead times exist in the provision of custom items and the standard approach to scheduling lacks adequate input to accommodate the additional work required. Similarly, cost overruns are a significant risk associated with non-standard items and, unless extremely accurate budgeting or adequate development time has been made available, additional contingencies in cost (and schedule) may be required. ELEMENT adds value by reducing schedule and cost risk if engaged early and our support during the Preconstruction phase is invaluable in this regard.
Experienced and skilled staff, trained to think ahead and with the ability to plan and schedule wisely, are key to our success. Our project management staff assume ownership of, and control over, all aspects of project delivery from design development, engineering calculations, materials acquisition, fabrication, assembly and field liaison. This skill set enables ELEMENT to span multiple disciplines, bringing them together as a cohesive and seamless service to successfully deliver the Contractor's needs.
We understand the critical importance of delivering a project on-time and on-budget, and our depth of experience in dealing with custom architectural metalwork is reflected in our approach. Since it is always the unknown unknowns that can create schedule and cost impacts when a project can least afford them, ELEMENT adopts a schedule strategy that anticipates these possibilities by planning on early delivery. We incorporate contingencies and work toward early delivery in order to create a buffer for unforeseen events. The majority of items provided by ELEMENT are required toward the end of the construction cycle thus affording little or no time for rework. Materials must be right first time.
Ultimately, the fabrication and delivery of material to the job site is our central focus. All fabrication is coordinated to meet the project schedule by being in advance of the project schedule. When creating unique custom components that have never been created before, the "Just-In-Time" approach is inadequate and every effort must be made to ensure time is available for corrective action or adjustment should the need arise. Early additional effort provides the maximum benefit to a project.
ELEMENT utilizes an extensive resource of fabrication capabilities, each of which is carefully chosen to mesh with the fabrication requirements of the project. Our sourcing of fabrication capabilities and equipment has taken us internationally when required.
The flexibility inherent in our business model allows us to adapt to changing market conditions and project demands as required. This ensures we provide adequate capacity for the fluctuating demands typical of the Construction industry, while at the same time maintaining additional capacity from which we can draw when the need arises.
Any project benefits when LEED principles are applied to materials sourcing and resource consumption. Often, suppliers to the construction industry utilize international supply chains that require significant amounts of travel to monitor production and quality. These also demand expensive and time consuming shipping and transportation arrangements that consume more energy and time than is necessary. These impacts are only amplified when site conditions require a small quantity of modified or replacement components and as a result, reality is sometimes counter to the intent of LEED.
ELEMENT strives to deliver project materials without unnecessary or wasteful use of resources. We aim to source materials and fabrication as close to a project site as possible. Our goal is to utilize and retain as much capability as possible within the U.S. while being competitive with cost and delivery. This approach supports the intent behind LEED.
Since every project is unique, every set of quality control parameters are unique and to this end ELEMENT develops and maintains project specific quality control programs.
Issues with quality are never acceptable. Often there is little or no opportunity to remediate or redesign materials when they are needed on site.
It is always important that quality parameters are established as early as possible. ELEMENTs' focus on accurately determining those requirements is evidenced by inputs and suggestions made throughout the design phase. This integration of fabrication and design, specifically related to quality, is a core strength and key part of the ELEMENT value proposition. Our project management teams develop project specific QC programs tailored to the Clients' requirements using years of fabrication experience. These programs cover all aspects of quality control from materials sourcing through step by step inspections of fabrication processes, all documented and presented to our clients at regular intervals throughout the fabrication and delivery process.
Occasionally, QC requirements may change during the mockup and testing phase and when his occurs, ELEMENT actively liaises with the team and their consultants to quickly and efficiently integrate these changes into a workable final program, prior to fabrication.
The development and maintenance of accurate project schedules is critical to the successful execution of a project. Input from all team members is essential as early as possible.
ELEMENT understands the need for reliable dates and predictable deliveries and we utilize modern online scheduling tools to provide immediate access to information from any location.
We work with our Clients to develop schedules that are both realistic and contain contingencies for the unexpected. Unlike the purchase and delivery of standard "off the shelf" commodities such as HVAC equipment and day to day building materials, custom architectural metalwork often requires new processes that carry schedule risk. The lack of adequate design, engineering and planning and/or the omission of schedule contingencies can have a significant negative impact on the project.
A thorough understanding of the challenges involved assures a sound knowledge base from which realistic schedules are developed.
Site manpower is not only expensive but also a valuable and sometimes scarce commodity. Site resources, access to equipment, space limitations and numerous other logistical constraints all place heavy demands on delivery strategies. Sequencing of parts deliveries from off site storage is becoming increasingly common as ever larger projects are undertaken in dense urban areas. The development of project specific staging and delivery methods will support successful project delivery. By thinking outside the box, ELEMENT has proven its ability to drastically reduce shipping and installation costs. Take a look at Case Study one for an example. Click here.
At no point throughout a project does it become more evident that the benefits of planning and forethought are critical to success, than at the time of installation. Shortcomings in the process up to this point quickly become obvious and carry the potential for adverse cost and schedule impacts.
ELEMENT understands the critical importance of the building site; this is where all our work is put to the test. Installation conditions drive much of our design and engineering work in the early stages and we work diligently to ensure problems are identified and dealt with as early as possible. The sequencing and progress of other trades also impacts access to, and utilization of, site resources and we work with the construction team to facilitate seamless integration with job site workflow.
Modern construction sites are often heavily constrained in terms of physical access and schedule. Developing an "installation centric" design to deal with these issues is a core strength of our team and an attribute proven time and again on many successful projects.
From participation in pre-installation meetings through attendance on site during installation, ELEMENT supports the process by offering installation assistance on many different levels; for example, our LIDD package (Layout Information and Design Drawings) supplements our Shop Drawing and Engineering submittal and provides field personnel with the critical information required to successfully assemble and install complex structures. | {

LYN: The Lightbringer Beginner's Guide to Grinding & Team Building
Having trouble with Nexon's new gacha mobile game? We're here to help with tier lists, team comp suggestions, and a breakdown of the best ways to level up your team!
by RobotsFightingDinosaurs
Stop me if you've heard this one before:
A mobile studio releases a beautiful game, complete with voice acting, brilliant music, and eye-popping and artistic visuals; but doesn't include any helpful tips on how to parse a maze of currencies, progression paths, and summoning systems.
LYN: The Lightbringer is another entry in this long-running tradition in mobile gaming, but there's a fun and engaging game to be found here if you spend the time to learn the game's systems.
Luckily for you, we've done the grinding so you don't have to! Well, you do. But you can do it more efficiently at least. Read on for your LYN: The Lightbringer beginner's guide!
A Currency Curriculum
Like many other gacha games, LYN: The Lightbringer has a variety of free, freemium, time-sensitive, and oddly specific currencies that you'll have to juggle. Here's a rundown on each of them, and what you'll use them for.
Gold is the most plentiful currency in LYN: The Lightbringer, and is used as a secondary requirement for leveling up your characters, gear, and skills after using other consumable components.
These operate as the "freemium" currency in LYN: The Lightbringer, and as such, they're the most important currency in the game. The game is pretty generous with them now -- that can change at any time, though, so be warned.
You'll use Red Diamonds to summon heroes and synthesize gear, revive characters, speed up timed quests, and a whole bunch of other stuff.
If you're not planning on spending money in this game, you don't really need to worry about Green Diamonds. They're used in the game's peer-to-peer marketplace, and aren't really necessary for in-game advancement.
These are the paid currency in the game, and are exchangeable in the market for higher-quality summon scrolls and gear chests. Personally, given that there's no guarantee you'll get anything worthwhile, I'd steer clear.
Guild, Friend, Arena, and Advent Coins
These coins are each earned in specific game modes, and linked to specific stores in the "Shops" section of the menu.
A quick note about Advent Coins: They expire after the special event period is over, so be warned. If you don't use them, they'll be gone-zo.
Building Your Team
The first thing you'll want to do in LYN: The Lightbringer is to click through the tutorial and get to the Adventure mode. Most of the game's systems will be explained there, and you'll be familiar with the general flow of the MOBA-styled title by the time you get to Chapter 3.
By Chapter 3, you'll have earned your fair share of summon scrolls, party members, and noble beasts.
Right now, the preferred team composition is:
Three classes focused on DPS (attacker, mage, or an archer)
Either having two tanks and a healer, or a high-tier tank and two healers to keep them alive
You'll want to keep your tank on the front line and use HP or DEF boosts on that line, so that it draws fire away from the squishier members of your party. Makes sense, right?
Redditor Deep has put together a pretty great tier list that spans all the named characters in the game so far, so use that to help guide your team building!

Here's where things get tricky.
There are tons of ways to level up and reroll in LYN: The Lightbringer, and using the wrong one or not understanding what one does can really screw you over later on.
Combining
First things first: Never use Combine on a character that is of Legendary (purple colored card) rank or above. Combine essentially acts as a reroll, allowing you to ditch two characters of max level for a character that is one star level higher.
This sounds good on paper, but in practice rarity matters more than star level given the way base stats work in the game and the relative ease by which you can evolve characters to add stars. Only use Combine on rares or below, got it?
"Develop" is how you level your team up outside of missions.
You'll want to focus on this specifically because you can't add stars to characters until they're at max level. You'll have to sacrifice a character as "development material," but you'll almost always have subpar characters to feed to the grist mill. Don't feel bad about getting rid of 'em.
"Evolve," as previously mentioned, is the way in which you add stars to heroes, altering their stats even further. Now, the game does a very bad job of explaining how evolution works, so let's break it down this way.
First, you need to have a character hit max level.
Second, you need to collect "essence" to evolve them.
Essence is class-specific, so you'll need different Essences to evolve your tank than you will for your healer. You can farm a different Essence every day in the "Challenge" section of the main menu.
Here's the part the game doesn't make clear:
Essences have star values too, and you'll need a higher star value Essence to evolve a higher star character.
It sounds complicated, and it kind of is, but it's remedied by the fact that you can combine five lower-quality Essences to create one of a higher quality. This is one of the most important things the game doesn't tell you and it's absolutely key for progression, especially if you don't get good summon drops.
By the way, a lot of these same rules go for gear as well, you can combine it and develop it to make it stronger.
Staying on the Grind
The most important spot for grinding will be in the Essence Fields to ensure you'll always be ready to evolve your characters, true, but it's also worth mentioning that you'll need to gear up to progress as you get into the late-game missions. The Challenge menu is where you'll do all of this, so get familiar with it.
Thus far, it's generally been agreed on that Normal mode offers the best reward-to-time ratio of any difficulty, and as such is the fastest way to grind up. Remember to change the difficulty in the top right when you're setting up your party.
We've already mentioned the Essence Fields, but the other two most important sections of the Challenge menu are the Time Rift and Raid areas, both of which will net you some sweet gear that can really help out if you hit a progression wall in adventure mode.
For teams with low CP, and for the times when you just need to fill out an area of need on a character's loadout, look to Time Rift since the missions are exponentially easier. Raids, however, are a lot harder, and offer much better rewards. (Of course, right?)
LYN: The Lightbringer, like many gacha games, can seem frustrating at first, given how stingy it can be with resources. Luckily, there's actually a pretty-darn-active Discord community full of high-level players that are friendly, and eager to help newbies find their footing! We highly recommend hanging out there, especially as the game updates and more heroes are added.

Oključna is an extremely scattered and unusual place, on the north side of the island. It consists of several quite distant villages. There is St Anthony from Padova church, built in XVIII.st. as a familly chapel. Next to it, about an hour of walking to the west, there is a natural attraction – Kraljičina špilja, a little less accessible, but a beautiful natural cave in which archaeological remains from the Neolithic and Late Bronze Age were found. | {

Q: Customizing modal Login Form data-dojo-attach-point as id I am trying to customize a modal login form.
How can I apply data-dojo-attach-point id to document.getElementById('id'); as below in order to grab the button id?
HTML
<div style="text-align:center;">
<button data-dojo-type="dijit/form/Button"
data-dojo-attach-event="onClick:toggleEditing"
data-dojo-props="label:'${i18n.labels.startEditing}','class':'success'"
data-dojo-attach-point="toggleBTN">
</button>
</div>
Javascript
<script>
// Get the modal
var modal = document.getElementById('id01');
// When the user clicks anywhere outside of the modal, close it
window.onclick = function(event) {
if (event.target == modal) {
modal.style.display = "none";
}
}
</script>

RDDJ worked on my behalf as if I were the firm's only client.
One moment Joe Espino was driving toward his destination; the next, a car from out of nowhere – hit by yet another car – hit Joe's vehicle almost head-on. In seconds he was transformed from a healthy man to one with broken ribs; broken backbone; a bruised aorta; an open head wound; a broken toe; and more.
"They had to use the Jaws of Life to cut me out of my car," he said. "When I woke up in the hospital I couldn't feel my body; I thought I was paralyzed."
He turned to Ritchie, Dillard, Davies & Johnson for representation because, quite literally, his future depended on the outcome. RDDJ, he said, "worked on my behalf as if I were the firm's only client. What stood out to me was their honesty; due diligence; and that they put themselves in my circumstances and were very sensitive to my needs throughout the entire case. They spent time with me."
RDDJ was able to settle Mr. Espino's case before it went to trial. His confidence in his future was bolstered by the outcome. "The case was extremely important because of the long-term effects of the crash and the physical handicaps of my injuries and what I had to deal with long-term," he said. "My work requires me to travel, and it can be painful."

YouTube launches audio ads for listeners and podcasts
November 18, 2020 by agitated-noyce
Google announced on Tuesday (17) a new form of ads for the YouTube video platform. They are advertisements of up to 15 seconds only in audio or with few visual elements that are not essential for the consumption of the content (such as still images or simple movements).
The novelty is currently being tested for a group of advertisers and creators. The goal is to monetize those who consume the platform only in the form of playlists or podcasts – that is, just listening to the content or even in the background. This is also a way to profit in a segment that already generates a lot of revenue for other platforms, such as Spotify. Remember that the Google service also has a paid and ad-free modality, YouTube Music.
According to the company, more than 50% of users logged on the platform consume more than 10 minutes of music content per day, which means plenty of space to increase brand visibility. In tests conducted in recent months, 75% of sound advertising on the platform "led to a significant increase in visibility" for the companies involved.
More options and tools
Along with audio ads, YouTube has officially announced the arrival of dynamic lineups, which are described as "pre-created segments that help you reach your target audience using the most interesting content for". More information about this feature can be found at service support page for advertisers.

Beer breakfast for pub viewers
Football mad Geordies will be packing into pubs at breakfast time to watch World Cup matches.
Evening Chronicle
Because Japan and Korea are nine hours ahead of England, most games will be shown before midday.
England's first match, against Sweden on June 2, kicks off at 10.30am, while early-bird fans will have to drag themselves out of bed at 7.30am if they want to catch the match against Nigeria on June 12.
But landlords in the North East will be taking advantage of relaxed licensing laws over the World Cup period and opening their doors early to allow customers to watch the games on the big screen. Landlords wanting to serve alcohol for the England games can apply to local magistrates for a special licence that will allow them to open their doors early in the morning.
Others may choose to serve coffee and bacon sandwiches instead of beer.
Heather Biggs, manager of the city's Luckies Bar, said: "I will be first in the queue at the licensing office to get permission to open at 6am.
"Selling beer would add something special to the atmosphere. I am really looking forward to it." | {

10 awesome pies for Pi Day
by Colin Joliat 6 years ago
Use your ← → keys to navigate
We're not big on math here at Guyism, but we do love pie. That's why when people say it's Pi Day, we immediately want to add the letter "e." Here are 10 great options, and we're not talking about apple, pumpkin, etc.
TheKitchn
Whoopie Pies are to Oreos what Ruth's Chris is to Steak n Shake. I'd gladly take either, but the quality of one is far superior.
Had he not been a Chicago Cub, I wouldn't know that Felix Pie was a baseball player. When you're sitting at a game though it's impossible not to notice a mediocre player with an awesome name.
Oatmeal Cream Pies were a staple of my formative fat years. We didn't have much junk food in the house, but these could always be found in the pantry.
How long has it been since you listened to "30 Days in the Hole?" No matter what you said, it's been too long. Pi Day is second only to Friday as an excuse to throw on a little Humble Pie.
eckrich
KFC's is the least healthy item on their menu, but that's because pot pies are delicious. They are big baked bread buckets of goodness, and whether it's fast food or homemade, it's always a good time for pot pie.
Mmiki- DeviantArt
I had a meat pie for the first time last year in London. It was life changing. OK, not really, but it was damn good. I can only hope it wasn't made with humans. Times are tough, after all.
Mad Betty
There are plenty of more delicious looking pizzas than this, but I associate the term pie with NY. No one in Chicago calls it a pie. They taste great regardless of semantics though, so go home and order one to celebrate.
VeronicasCornucopia
Cow pies have been making kids snicker since their invention in some year in the past. Everyone has that friend whose mom made them though, and they were always a hit. It only takes one bite to get past the dung connotation, and then it's nothing but chocolate coated goodness.
CandyCarrollton
I don't know which came first, the Moon Pie or the S'More, but they're essentially the same thing. It's the same ingredients in a different order and temperature, which makes the Moon Pie perfect for an urban camper.
Visual.ly
There has never been a more accurate pie chart than this one, which is probably why it's circulated the internet for years. It's literal, it's honest, and it's still downright delicious.

The extension yii2-editable has some nice features. However, has anybody successfully created edit box that doesn't open "dialog" for editing the actual value (in the GridView)? I'd like to minimize clicks so changing the value just by using up/down buttons of the numeric spinner would be more efficient. | {

North East NHS trusts sign three-year Health Call partnership
NHS organisations in the North East and North Cumbria have welcomed a new collaboration to improve patient care with new digital technologies.
Led by the Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, on behalf of six NHS organisations in the North East, a three-year licensing contract has been agreed with digital health and remote patient monitoring firm, Inhealthcare.
Clinicians and patients will benefit from a range of digital programmes known as Health Call, developed in partnership between the North East trusts and Inhealthcare.
Health Call comprises a digital library of more than 50 apps and offers a toolkit to help clinicians create their own digital health applications.
One example is the Tyneside Integrated Musculoskeletal Services (TIMS), a mainly online service managed jointly between the Newcastle Hospitals and Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust. TIMS offers a self-care toolkit via an app that provides easy to follow tips and advice, as well as fast access to expert opinion, diagnosis and treatment of a variety of muscle, joint and soft tissue conditions and chronic pain.
Graham King, CIO at the Newcastle Hospitals, explained: "Patients are increasingly demanding the ability to interact with their personal health and care records through digital applications and services.
"[Health Call] allows tailored personalised services to be created for our patients, delivered through our clinical and digital teams, working together.
"We've already seen the development of a range of more than 50 services through Health Call and these services are now being adopted by health organisations in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
"A 'do once and share' agreement is reducing delivery costs and patients using the service are benefiting from being able to better engage and manage their health care, whilst reducing the overheads of attending physical appointments."
Health Call is fully owned by the NHS and exists to drive service transformation by using proven digital health technologies to support patients, while creating capacity in the health and care system.
It is a collaboration by County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust, Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, North Tees and Hartlepool Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust.
Digital services designed, built and deployed by care professionals with Health Call are made available to all organisations within the collaboration.
Bryn Sage, chief executive of Inhealthcare, said: "We have worked closely with NHS providers in the North East of England over the last seven years and believe the region is at the cutting edge of collaboration and innovation in the NHS.
"The Health Call collaboration started at a single hospital trust in 2017 and now has grown to six trusts. It is helping to transform the way care is delivered in the North East and North Cumbria.
"The region's long-term commitment is an important milestone for Inhealthcare and follows our successful launch in London at the start of the year."

Men's Skincare, should be standard right ? and if you are in your teens, twenties, thirties and possibly forties it probably is, but what is it with older guys who totally think that the skin God gave them can't be improved ? You may well love his face but trust me it can be improved :) same man just fresher looking.
I asked Mr LB to test out this shaving kit for me, to be fair I didn't have to ask twice, he is pretty good at the whole skincare thing, BUT as good as he thought he was, we both saw a definite improvement from the very first outing with this fabulous kit.
Four Key Products and a sachet sample.
Daily Clean Scrub 1.5oz exfoliates and removes dead skin cells while loosening ingrown hairs.
Pre-Shave guard 0.75oz preps the skin ready for shaving.
Soothing Shave Cream 2.5 oz is apparently the best shave cream he has ever used, says it glides like glass !
Post Shave Balm 0.33oz a soothing moisturising balm that left the skin soft and dry.
Daily Defence Block SPF15 0.75oz SPF protection for daytime use.
Does the man in your life take care of his skin ? | {

Christian Siriano to be featured designer at Nashville Symphony Fashion Show
Show-stopping designs for Fall 2014 to be revealed at Schermerhorn Symphony Center
Nashville Symphony Fashion Show co-chairs Vicki Horne and Dara Russell have announced that Christian Siriano will be the featured designer for the 2014 fashion show, to be held Tuesday, April 29, 2014, at Schermerhorn Symphony Center. The Symphony Fashion Show will highlight Siriano's Fall 2014 collection. The show is presented by Lexus and sponsored by the Nashville Symphony Orchestra League with proceeds from the event to support the Nashville Symphony's education programs, which annually serve 100,000 schoolchildren across Middle Tennessee.
Boutique partner Gus Mayer will kick off the Symphony Fashion Show with a trunk show on November 5 and 6, which features Christian Siriano's Spring 2014 collection. Hours are 10 a.m.-6 p.m. on both days, and the designer will be making a personal appearance at Gus Mayer from noon-6 p.m. on November 6. Members of the public are invited to try on Siriano's chic designs and find the perfect ensemble for spring. A portion of all sales will be donated to the Nashville Symphony.
"We are thrilled to partner with Gus Mayer to present Christian Siriano's trendsetting designs," says co-chair Dara Russell. "Christian's style is totally unique, and his collections provide a distinctive look for everyone. Anyone with an eye for style won't want to miss it!"
Co-chair Vicki Horne adds, "It is an honor to be involved in planning this spectacular event, which brings top designers to Nashville each year. We are proud that the Symphony Fashion Show makes a significant impact on our community by providing so many young people with music education programming and opportunities."
Siriano attended the Baltimore School for the Arts and interned with industry legends Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen. The Christian Siriano Collection debuted in 2006 and is shown each season at New York Fashion Week and presented to retailers in New York City and Paris. Known for his whimsical and show-stopping design – from fantasy evening gowns and cocktail dresses to tailored sportswear, as well as intricate shoes and accessories – the collection can be found at specialty boutiques and department stores around the globe.
In 2012, the stand-alone flagship Christian Siriano store opened in New York City and in 2013, Siriano was inducted as a member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA). His designs have been popular on the red carpet with Taylor Swift, Christina Hendricks and Heidi Klum.
Tickets for the Symphony Fashion Show begin at $300, which includes reserved seating and an elegant cocktail buffet after the show. Past designers for the event have included Oscar de la Renta, MARCHESA, Monique Lhuillier and Isaac Mizrahi.

Dalit Christians in India are planning a march to demand equal rights, including reservation in educational institutions and government jobs.
More than 20,000 people across the country are expected to take part in the march scheduled on March 10 in New Delhi that Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox churches are organizing jointly.
The Catholic Bishops' Conference of India's office taking care of Dalit and indigenous people, the National Council of Churches in India, a joint forum of Protestant and Orthodox churches, and the National Council of Dalit Christians are the main organizers.
"It is our moral duty to fight against injustice. This would be one of the biggest protests by the Dalit Christians to demand equal rights," Franklin Caesar, founder of the National Council of Dalit Christians, told ucanews.com.
The Sanskrit term Dalit means trampled upon and denotes the former untouchable castes within Hindu society. At least half of India's some 25 million Christians are of Dalit origin. A 1950 presidential order denied government benefits, such as quotas in government jobs and educational institutions, meant for advancement of Dalits, on the grounds that Christianity does not recognize the caste system.
Christian leaders say successive governments have failed to undo the 1950 order to bring justice to Dalit Christians.
According to Father Z. Devasagayaraj, secretary of the Indian Catholic bishop's commission of Dalit and indigenous people, the government is afraid that granting benefits will cause an exodus of conversions of Hindu Dalits to other religions.
He said currently, 12 of India's 29 state governments have recommended that the federal government treat Dalit Christians, Muslims and Hindus equally in terms of benefits and social rights. | {

Senators Seek to Aid Hunters: Bill Would Provide More Options for Having Deer Tested
Published on October 11, 2002 October 11, 2002
U.S. Sens. Russ Feingold and Herb Kohl on Thursday introduced a bill designed to provide hunters with more opportunities to get their venison tested for chronic wasting disease. If the bill becomes law, the U.S. Department of Agriculture would be required to:
Release guidelines for the collection of animal tissue to be tested within 30 days.
Release a protocol to be used in the laboratory assessment of animal tissue that may be contaminated with the disease within 30 days.
Accelerate research into the development of animal tests for the disease, including tests for live animals and field tests, within 45 days.
The bill by the two Democrats is the latest attempt since the discovery of the disease in Wisconsin in February to address concerns about the safety of venison by providing better and faster tests by the government and the private sector.
Also, the senators charged the U.S. Department of Agriculture with moving too slowly in giving help to Wisconsin and other states that are afflicted with the deadly deer disease.
"The USDA has really dropped the ball in providing the necessary resources and assistance to assure that Wisconsin hunters have the information they deserve," the senators said in a statement.
Ed Curlett, a spokesman for the USDA's Animal and Plant Inspection Service, said the agency had not moved slowly and had sped up approval of new government labs for testing since the spread of the disease this year.
Within 30 days of passage of the bill, the measure would require the USDA to develop a program for the inspection and certification of federal, state and private labs to conduct tests for the disease.
Within 45 days, the bill says, the agency would have to accelerate research for testing on live animals, field diagnostic tests and developing protocols that would speed the turnaround time of lab tests.
Further, the bill requires the department to come up with a plan to prevent the spread of new diseases, such as epizootic hemorrhagic disease, a blood-borne pathogen that was discovered recently in same area of Wisconsin where chronic wasting disease has been discovered.
Currently, only federally approved labs are permitted to test for chronic wasting disease. State officials are planning to conduct about 50,000 tests this year, including 500 tests in nearly every county. That breadth of testing should help deer hunters understand how prevalent the disease is in their area, if it's there at all, according to the state Department of Natural Resources.
But as the disease has spread, demand for testing appears to be outstripping the capacity.
This prompted a Hayward business to announce last month that it would sell a testing kit directly to Wisconsin hunters this fall. Wildlife Support Services is getting around the federal approval requirement by packaging parts of the test separately.
The senators' bill pleased William "Butch" Johnson, who is marketing the private test.
"I think it is great," he said. "It not only could affect a small lab like ours. But it opens up the possibility of testing for other labs."
Curlett, of the federal inspection service, emphasized that tests for chronic wasting disease were not a food safety test but were intended tomtest for the presence of disease.
He said the best thing for hunters would be to watch for testing results in the area where they hunt.
There have been 31 cases of chronic wasting disease in the wild deer population – all centered in a 389-square-mile region of Dane, Iowa and Sauk counties. One deer has tested positive on a Portage County game farm as well.
CWD ALLIANCE NOTE: This bill is known as S 3090 -Comprehensive Wildlife Disease Testing Acceleration Act of 2002, and can be viewed on this website under the "Policy & Legislative" tab.
University of Minnesota researchers develop novel, field-deployable test for CWD

an excess of selfishness?
One of the great questions of all time is whether human beings are naturally collaborative and well meaning or a bunch of nasty selfish psychopaths. With Donald Trump running for President and a strong climate of fear coming into play over desperate Syrian refugees we are entitled to wonder.
I've always thought that from earliest times there is evidence for both views for a good reason. Human societies have always contained a mixture of both types of behaviour because it was necessary for our survival. Early archaeological sites show clear evidence of tribes looking after injured individuals for long periods of time but also of warfare and cannibalism. Compassionate care has been mixed in with hatred and anger for a very long time.
There is a huge advantage in working collaboratively, sharing food, learning from each other, specialising in things that you are good at and giving freely because you can trust others to look after you and your neighbours. Any group that behaves like this is bound to out compete a bunch of selfish individuals who can't rely on each other and spend time squabbling and arguing.
However, it is equally true that if everyone is nice and co-operative and never challenges the status quo then human society might never have evolved. We need some risk takers and people who break rules in order to shake things up and try things that are new. All societies contain a number of individuals who are not very good at collaboration but are very good at experimenting and breaking away from convention. Our original tribal societies also needed a proportion of people who were good at aggression. You don't survive very long on the open plains of Africa if you always give way to the needs of others. That side of humanity is just as integral to our early evolution as the ability to collaborate because no society cannot prosper if all it contains are aggressive selfish individuals looking out for their own interests.
But it is very dangerous to have too many people like this in society. Scientists have modelled the behaviour of groups statistically and the evidence is crystal clear. If you go over a certain proportion of selfish individuals and too many people demonstrate selfish behaviour then your society starts to break down. No one can see the point in being helpful and collaborative if they get nothing much back from neighbours who are solely out for themselves. Once trust goes the group loses all the advantages of collaboration and starts to fall apart.
Bearing this in mind, ask yourself a question. What rewards are we offering at the moment to someone who decides to work on behalf of others in a caring profession and what rewards are we offering to someone who ruthlessly looks to their own self interest? Which tendency in human behaviour are we encouraging with our system of financial incentives? Are we in danger of encouraging so much competitive behaviour that the collaboration that is crucial to our entire existence is starting to fall apart?
Each of us might have a different view on this question. I happen to think that dangerously high numbers of people who have chosen to work selflessly for the NHS or for a local authority care team or as a social worker no longer expect to receive recognition from a grateful society in the form of earning a reasonable living and working in a supportive and encouraging environment. By comparison the rewards for the few individuals who focus on looking out for themselves have gone up consistently year by year since the mid 1970s. Top rates of taxation in the UK have gone from over 85% to 40%. The swing in the US has been even more extreme. The share of all wealth owned by the top 1% now exceeds 40% and all increases in national income since the 2008 crash have gone to the very richest in society whilst nurses and care workers have had seen their workloads increase and their real incomes decline.
In these circumstances sooner or later society reaches a tipping point. If we continue to finance and encourage selfishness to this degree then we will experience a steady decline in collaborative behaviour until a point is reached where there are very few mugs left prepared to be helpful to others. Our society will become steadily weaker and less secure. More and more of us will think only of ourselves and it will be each of us against all others. Human history gives us plenty of examples of how that ends. None of them are pretty.
Why should a teacher work flat out under close supervision if she sees her Academy Director drive away in a smart car after recommending to his Board of Directors that he needs another salary increase in order to be properly motivated? Why should a nurse stay on after her hours have finished to look after a patient when the clinic is running late if she sees an agency nurse being paid more than her to do the same job with less stress whilst the owners of that agency pay themselves large share dividends?
We are steadily dismantling the welfare state and allowing good quality education to be something that you get if you can afford to buy a house in a nice area. We are allowing companies to pour trillions of microbeads into our environment every day in order to slightly improve the pouring qualities of soap dispensers. We are putting sick and disabled people through humiliating tests of the extent of their disability in the hope that we can save a few quid in taxes. We are shutting out refugees from a conflict that we started in order to be able to burn the last drops of fossil fuels and to damage the atmosphere and climate of the entire planet rather than collectively invest in change. This is not the behaviour of a society that values caring for others. Rather it is a society that is suffering from a serious excess of selfishness.
It should be evident that we cannot rely on the highly rewarded selfish elements of society to suddenly see the error of their ways and change their behaviour. So the only way to deal with this highly risky situation is for those who believe in the value of collaboration and caring for others to change theirs. Instead of being quiet and understanding of the needs of others we need to start being loud and noisy about the needs of the collective. We need to start speaking up more often and challenging the outrageously selfish behaviour that is putting us all at risk.
People of good will need to use the only real power that they have available to them in order to take on and defeat the excessive selfishness of modern society. That power is the power to collaborate and co-operate. We need to work together politically and organise to challenge the prevailing ideology. And we need to do that before it is too late!
A private obsession
It has been fascinating to watch the coverage and the reactions to Jeremy Corbyn's selfie showing him sitting forlorn on the floor of a Virgin train. Virgin clearly thought that accusing him of staging a stunt would convince the nation that there were ample seats on all its services. Those of us who use Richard Branson's trains know better. Corbyn clearly thought he could launch an attack on privatisation without the private sector checking to see if there were any holes in his account of the incident. It is not a good idea to leave yourself open to charges of staging an incident if you are trying to build a reputation for honesty and integrity. Nevertheless, if most of us had to place money on which took place more frequently I think the odds would be on failing to find an unreserved seat on a Virgin train rather than on catching out Corbyn's team on manipulating evidence.
All of which leads to the much more important question of whether it is a good idea for the railways to be in private hands. Personally I have never believed that the issue of state run or privately run services should be an issue of fundamental principle. I think it is an issue of practicalities. When and in what circumstances does the state do things well? When and in what circumstances does the private sector do a good job?
There are plenty of examples where privatisation has worked very well. Having a single state provider of telephone services called British Telecom was never a great way to ensure flexible imaginative communications. I would far rather have a choice of networks and lots of competition.
There are also plenty of cases where privatisation is extremely unlikely to work well. The railways are one of them. You simply cannot set up choice between rival private sector providers on the 11am service from London to Edinburgh. There is only one train and you are either on it or you are not.
In order to have that service run by a private provider it is necessary for the government to let out a contract. Supposedly a competitive contract. Imagine for a minute the difficulties of drawing up that contract. You have to find companies capable of delivering the contract so you are down to a choice of very few potential bidders. You then have to let the contract for a significant length of time or else there is no point in the company taking it on undertaking any investment. If it is for five years then how do you predict the level of traffic that far in advance? How many trains should the company be required to run? Which services should they be allowed to close or reduce? How much ability should they be given to change the service in response to changing demand? How do you measure quality of delivery? What fares should the company be allowed to charge and by how much should they be allowed to raise them? What level of public subsidy is appropriate? What safety regulations will be placed on the company? How much does the company get for journeys that are booked with a rival but require the use of its trains? What happens about any investment that needs to be paid for when the contract is drawing to a close?
All of these things and many more have to be specified by the government when it lets the contract. Not surprisingly those drawing up the contracts often get it wrong. Not least because they are often relatively poorly paid civil servants. The people bidding for the contracts employ the most expensive lawyers, well paid specialist bid writers and rail experts, and a number of ex civil servants who don't mind revealing the secrets of the bidding process in return for a few quid. Oh, alright, quite a few quid.
As a result many of the contracts are flawed right from the start. By the end of a 5 or a 10 year letting period they are often outright wrong. When they are wrong in favour of Virgin or the like then what happens is very simple. Mr Branson collects a lot of money and keeps it. When they are wrong in favour of the taxpayer then it is a different tale. When that takes place there is a strong tendency for the company in question to turn round to the government and say that they can't make it pay and they want to hand the contract back.
Incredibly this is allowed. In any private sector business deal you cannot turn round to your customer and say "I know we signed a contract but I'm losing money on it so I'm not going to bother to deliver and you'll have to do it yourself." That is exactly what has happened on several occasions in the rail service. Twice the contract for the East Coast line has been handed back to the taxpayer. On both occasions the public sector took over and ran the service just as well as the previous contract holder. And they also did so profitably.
Put simply the private sector is on a one way bet with rail. They have monopoly power over their customers and contracts that are impossible to police properly. The customer is faced with a bewildering mess of different companies offering different ticket deals that don't seem to connect properly. Nothing is added to the experience of sitting on a train. Everything adds to the cost and the uncertainty for the taxpayer.
Ah but what about all that investment that the private sector brings to the party? It should be obvious after a moment's thought that this isn't made out of charity. It all has to be paid for. The only way of doing this is either through fares or through taxpayers subsidies. So the ordinary customers and taxpayers are the only source of the investment funding and we are also required to pay a premium to allow for the companies to make normal operating profits and for any errors in the contracting process that favour the private supplier.
In the rail industry privatisation automatically means increased costs, increased confusion, incoherent supply and no improvement in the service. Most people in the north want a co-ordinated local rail network having a single ticketing system like London underground and connecting one huge employment market flexibly and efficiently. George Osborne called it the Northern Powerhouse. That is made virtually impossible by the plethora of different private suppliers who would need to collaborate on such an arrangement. As a result the whole of the north faces disjointed erratic services operated often on trundling trains that are decades out of date dragging miserable carriages over rickety track. Meanwhile in London customers are faced every day with inhuman cattle truck style delivery with no means of exercising effective customer power over the supplier.
So it should be pretty obvious that this is one area where privatisation simply hasn't worked and can't be made to. The only possible reason for sticking with it is ideology. We are dealing not with a search for the best solution but a blind belief that markets are always the best solution and that the private sector must by definition be much more cutting edge and efficient. And the ultimate irony of all this? Several of the services have been contracted out not to the private sector but to the state sector. Not the UK public sector of course as that is not allowed to apply for and win contracts. No - the cutting edge private sector firms supplying our railways have included the French nationalised railways and the German nationalised railways.
Clearly the government thinks the public sector can only be efficient if it is foreign. You couldn't make it up.
troubling evidence
I have always believed that the scientific method is a lot better way of solving problems than blind faith. The ability to experiment, to test and to falsify and the linking of this to practical problem solving has brought immense benefits to human civilisation. It certainly beats the hell out of torturing people to try to convince them that they should jolly well be grateful that their glorious religious leaders have told them that God made the sun go round the earth and that is that.
Yet you have to be really careful with the pronouncements of science laboratories. It is usually a very good idea to check who is funding the organisation and what their self interests are before placing too much touching faith in the pure objective evidence driven honesty of the findings. It is also as well to be cautious and ask a lot of hard questions when a new scientific discovery is presented to us as the answer to our problems. Especially when that relates to agriculture.
Consider for instance what has happened with regard to neonicitinoids. When they were first introduced into agriculture they were sold to us as being a wonderful new way of reducing the environmental impact of pesticides. Instead of spraying chemicals on fields from planes, and misdirecting a lot of dangerous substances, you could simply put the pesticide directly into the seed. When the plant grew it would penetrate every cell and protect the plant without doing any damage to anything else.
Great. Reduced pesticides. Improved environment. Cleaner, healthier food. What was not to like?
Then they started using the stuff. It was cheap. It was effective. It increased yields and allowed large fields of the same crop to grow and prosper without being attacked by insects.
But problems began to emerge that were very inconvenient for the commercial arm of the companies that employed the inventors. Since the poison was in every cell, it was also in the pollen. That meant that the bees and other insects that pollinated the crop consumed significant doses. In the US and in France bee keepers started to notice their colonies died off in a way they had rarely seen before. The adult bees went out to forage but never came back. In the hive there was a queen and some starving brood but the workers had gone.
The explanation should have been fairly simple to arrive at. Bees have complex navigation systems. Neonicitinoids are known to kill bees at very high doses and at lower doses they interfere with a bees internal communication systems. It isn't hard to figure out that if bees spend all day consuming sunflower pollen & nectar or rapeseed then there is a chance that enough of them will get a high enough dose for them to fail to get back home with the food the colony needs and this would causing colonies to collapse. Colony Collapse disorder emerged at the same time that neonicitinoids began to be used.
The nature of the behaviour of insects means that the correlation between the use of the seed and the death of the colonies was not simple and straightforward. Different proportions of bees from neighbouring colonies will go to any one crop. Exposure quantities vary. The mix of how many crops the bees visit and for how many weeks the bees are exposed varies in the wild.
Instead of trying to tease out that complex correlation via careful scientific study the chemical companies behaved as if they had a publicity problem. Any objective proof of direct damage to bees was going to cost them a lot of sales and a lot of money. The last thing they wanted was a reliable body of pure scientific evidence.
So they started to think out what they could say that would defend their sales. At first they denied that there was any connection between the problems bees were experiencing and their product and put forward alternative explanations. It was suggested that the explanation was poor beekeeping. There are, of course, plenty of poor beekeeping practices out there including the mass transportation of huge numbers of bees across the whole of the United States to California to pollinate the almond crop. But these bad practices had been going on for many years and colony collapse disorder was new and began around the time neonicitinoids began to be used.
So the claim changed. It was claimed that bees could never get a toxic dose in fields because the concentration of chemicals was too low. Serious scientific studies were paid for which produced results showing that bees couldn't possibly be killed by the level of exposure they would get in the real world. The outcomes were widely publicised. Unfortunately the evidence produced by these serious scientific studies was almost entirely irrelevant. The studies weren't trying to look honestly for evidence of what was happening in the interests of objective science. The studies were asking a question that would produce answers that were already known and that would be helpful to the corporations that were asking them.
It is indeed objectively true that individual bees could not be killed by pesticides at levels that would be released by plants penetrated by neonicitinoids. The key question was, however, not whether an individual bee could be killed by neonitinoids in practice. The key questions were whether enough damage could be done to enough bees to weaken the colony and how closely the intensive use of neonicitinoids correlated with insect decline.
Fortunately evidence can't be confused, disguised and spun for ever. Last week a reliable large scale study from independent scientists produced rock solid evidence that honeybees are being weakened by neonicitinoids and significantly more colonies die where they are used. This study from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology also shows that bumblebees are dying. And other pollinators. Even worse it shows that insects that are nothing to do with pollination are dying because the neonicitinoids get into the soil when the plant dies of pollen is shed. Concentrations of neonicitinoids in hedgerow soils can be actually higher than those in the plant and will persist at high levels for at least a decade. Put simple the evidence from objective scientists is utterly damning.
It now emerges that Neonicitinoids aren't as dangerous as many of us thought. They are much more dangerous. To many more species and for much longer.
Faced with this clear objective evidence the reaction of Bayer, one of the largest producers of neonicitinoids has been very simple. They have changed their propaganda. This is what Dr Julian Little, from Bayer Crop Science in the UK said to the BBC:
"Since most of the oilseed rape grown in the UK was treated with a neonicotinoid seed treatment during the years that this study looked at, we believe its findings would be more correctly headlined that intensive agriculture is causing some issues with pollinators. Whether this is due to the use of insecticides is not clear; a lack of nesting sites and pollen and nectar sources in these areas may also be critical factors."
A genuine objective scientist changes their theory when evidence proves the last one was wrong. Modern corporate science takes a more imaginative approach. Why bother to change your scientific theory just because of a pesky little thing like evidence? It is a whole lot easier and more profitable to just carry on what you were doing and change your propaganda. So, in the face of clear objective evidence that neonicitinoids are harmful, Bayer simply changed their line and tried to muddy the water.
Intensive agriculture is indeed a significant cause of insect decline. But any experienced researcher knows that you do not destroy evidence of one clear causal connection by also observing evidence that there is another. Two things can do damage at the same time and you don't stop trying to deal with the first problem just because you have finally got round to noticing a second one.
And they wonder why science is losing the trust and respect in which it used to be held.

The burkini line?
Tolerance is a very fine virtue. Depending of course on what you are tolerant about.
When it comes to genital mutilation for example I think it is quite reasonable for any civilised country to say that we won't tolerate this cruelty just because it has been a part of some citizens' cultural heritage. My own cultural heritage includes burning witches at the stake and that's not allowed either.
In my view the same applies to the wearing of a face veil. To deny someone the opportunity to publicly display their face is I think simply wrong. No man ever wore the veil to protect his modesty. The practice is all about oppressing women and the fact that some chose to adopt this form of oppression doesn't make it an equal opportunity choice. It is usually the women who have been subject to the practice themselves who force girls to go through genetic mutilation. Just because a number of women are happy to go along with their own oppression doesn't make that oppression right.
So I will never understand why political campaigners on the left shy away from this issue and say that an ugly form of unequal oppression is fine by them because it is the choice of a few women. It is hated by a whole lot more. We ought to be condemning the practice and shaming anyone who tries to defend it on the grounds that it is somehow "Islamic". It isn't. The vast majority of Muslims in the world live comfortably with their faith without any remote inclination to adopt this practice. Virtually no one in Indonesia, for example, would believe for a second that this was necessary in order to be a good Muslim woman. Even if faith insisted on it that would not make it right. The Inca faith insisted on human sacrifice and not many people think that's a cultural choice we should accept as value neutral.
But being opposed to something and thinking that you can best stamp it out via a legal ban is another matter altogether. I would love to see the practice cease completely in Britain because it has become culturally unacceptable in our Muslim communities rather than because the state had forced people to stop doing it. A legal ban simply risks playing into the hands of the oppressors. It makes them seem like brave defenders of a cultural practice instead of narrow minded bigots who don't even think women should be allowed a public face.
I believe the best approach to challenging this practice is not to ban it but to heavily discourage it and make it clear that it is not an equally acceptable value neutral choice. I see no reason why any public service or employer should have to bend its rules or change it practices to accommodate women's oppression by men. I don't want my child taught by a teacher who is not allowed or prepared to show her face. I don't see why a bank or an airport should be forced to change its normal security checks because some of their customers have been pressed into refusing to show their face to the world. The cultural practice needs challenging and making a very difficult and awkward choice not pandering to and fostering. In Turkey there are still a whole range of places and circumstances where it is not allowed to wear the veil in public yet in the UK the left are too often allowing the extreme right free range to claim that they are the only people who are prepared to stand up and challenge an unacceptable practice.
Given those views you might expect that I would be enthusiastically supporting the ban that is being imposed in a number of French tourist resorts on the burkini. I am not. If you are prepared to challenge a clearly unacceptable practice that is all about oppression then I think it is important to defend choices that genuinely are cultural. Women from all cultures deserve the opportunity to express themselves in any ways that don't oppress others. The burkini doesn't deny a woman a public face. It simply means that she can go swimming whilst fully clothed from head to foot.
Is this better or worse than going swimming wearing a thong and displaying breasts that have been artificially enhanced by surgery? Plenty of women hate going onto the beach because they feel under pressure to comply with ideas about what their bodies should look like that they don't feel remotely comfortable with. Others love the opportunity and the freedom of wearing very little. Who is to say which cultural choice is the more acceptable?
It seems to me that we have an obligation to be tolerant of cultural choices that are different to those of the mainstream culture up to a point. When those choices do no obvious harm to the person making the choice we should be happy to encourage diversity and to explore and debate the alternatives and leave it to the individual which of the choices she or he feels comfortable with.
But when the choice denies a woman a right to a personality and shuts her off from the world in order to enforce a male dominated culture then those of us who consider ourselves supporters of women's rights and equal opportunities need to speak out clearly. There are huge gains from living in a multi-cultural society. But not all cultural practices are acceptable in a society that wants all its citizens to have significant degrees of equality. Let's have liberty and choice. But let's stop being afraid to restrict extreme oppressive choices when that restriction is required into order to protect some of the most fundamental liberties in a person's life.
the feckless rich?
In the face of the enormity of the universe there really isn't a lot of point behind most human activity. Everything we do is of no significance when you think on a cosmic scale about either time or distance. But since we do happen to have the absurd good luck to be alive at all in such peculiar circumstances I have long thought that we have an obligation to make the most of it. We might as well try and make the best of ourselves and push our abilities to the absolute limit and of course help others to achieve their best.
So I have always understood those politicians who talk a lot about aspiration. I've also always understood the value of individual achievement. But I have never bought the idea that anyone can do anything or be anything if they just try hard enough. It simply isn't true. Not everyone can make it by sheer hard work and commitment. There are some barriers and difficulties that are virtually impossible for the individual to overcome without assistance and they aren't anything to do with the moral worth of the individual who encounters them. If you start life as a disabled woman in a dirt poor village in Afghanistan you are highly unlikely to become a multi-millionaire and if you are a male child born into a well educated affluent family in the US with a good slug of inherited wealth then the chances are considerably higher.
This ought to be so obvious to state that it is utterly banal. Unfortunately we have been subject for so long to a barrage of propaganda to the contrary that it can't be restated too frequently. The economic system we live in doesn't just reward people for hard work, intelligent insight and a determination to take well calculated risks. It rewards people for being born into the right circumstances and gives you precious few rewards if you are born into the wrong ones.
Because of this it used to be taken for granted by the vast majority of people that it is no bad thing to tax those who have more wealth than they can possibly use and for the government to use this money to give a leg up for those who are less fortunate. No longer. We now face a clamour from the rich saying that they have got all this income through their own cleverness and enterprise and they don't think the state should be taking it away from them.
Taxes for the rich are going down and their rewards are going up. Twenty five years ago the top 1% of people living in the US took home 12% of national income. The figure now is 25%. (Joseph Stiglitz, The Great Divide, p88). Put simply this means that any increases in income that have happened in America in the last 25 years have gone to the very rich. Much the same has happened in the UK.
Over the same period there has been a total transformation in what is considered normal for taxation. The 1950s Conservative government of Winston Churchill had a top rate of income tax rate of over 85% for its entire duration. It didn't stop that government from presiding over one of the most rapid increases in our national income and from achieving a massive reduction in the national debt as a share of GNP. Nor did it prevent that government from building over 100,000 council houses a year or paying grants for students to go to University.
In the late 70s all of that changed and tax rates have been slashed across the Western world. The Conservative Government of David Cameron and then Theresa May has presided over top rates of 40%. Yet few of the very wealthy pay that rate on much of their income and most corporations routinely use very good tax lawyers to take their effective tax rate way below that of most working peole.
Not surprisingly low rates of tax coupled with high rates of avoidance has contributed to an era of austerity in which services are cut back and national capital assets like council houses sold off rather than created. We have football stars earning so much money that they don't know which of their cars to drive and not enough schools being built to educate our children. We have salaries and bonuses going to top people in financial services as a reward for their innovation and intelligence - despite the fact that their innovations almost wrecked the system in 2008 and billions have had to be paid out in compensation for what is politely called mis-selling. But if any politician dares to suggest that the solution to this might be to make sure they pay the right taxes so that the state can redistribute some of that income they are immediately jumped on as an extremist. About as extreme left as Winston Churchill!
So it is not surprising that a lot of people are very angry and prepared to listen to extreme solutions. It is obvious to most people that something has gone wrong with the system and that it isn't working to give them the deal that they were promised. If you are young and aspirational, you work hard, and you are intelligent you are still going to find it very hard indeed to buy a house, start a business and make it by your own efforts. These days most people need family money and help. We are back to the era of Jane Austin. The key question is not what kind of energy and worth do you have as an individual but what are your expectations? Are you going to inherit anything?
In these circumstances it has become necessary for anyone who seriously wants to create a land of opportunity to support higher taxes. And, of course, it is no good a government adopting higher taxes if those who ought to be paying them simply avoid them. We need international collaboration on tax collection and we need the British government to have the courage to impose taxes based on reasonable estimates of what is earned in that country. When it comes to individuals I believe this means that we have to move more of taxation onto property which is an asset that is very hard to hide or to move abroad. Since income tax is being widely dodged by clever lawyers we need to move to collecting a lot more of tax via rates on property. I do not mean a wealth tax but I do mean raising council tax on properties to the level where it becomes as significant a contributor to the exchequer as income tax. I also think the UK should adopt one of the very few good parts of US tax law. If you are a US citizen and pay taxes abroad they can collect off you the higher amount that you would have paid in the UK. Properly and rigorously enforced this simply makes it pointless to move your income to Belize. When it comes to corporations I think we should be taxing the company on its revenues in the country instead of on its net profits. If necessary punitive estimated revenues. That is the best way to stop corporations shifting their money abroad.
None of these policies is however as important as one simple shift in our psychology. We have been told for decades that it is wrong to take taxes off the rich because they have earned that money by their own efforts and the feckless poor should have tried harder. We need to start reversing the equation and stating the facts as they truly are. The feckless rich took our society to the brink of disaster in 2008 and still have no explanation as to why that happened. They are being paid excessive rewards for completely fictitious exceptional abilities.
We need to control and manage the feckless rich and give a bigger share of national income to the deserving poor.
a Brighter future?
It seems to me that two big economic and technological changes are currently underway at the same time. The first is that globalisation has removed the privileged position that used to be occupied by the working class of the more affluent nations. Instead of living secure lives in countries which had decent social security systems and economies which delivered reliable steady incomes these people now find themselves living in a world of cold global competition. It is a threatening world where jobs can disappear at a moment's notice, employers can impose working conditions that are hard to challenge by collective action, and the safety net of strong social security is badly weakened.
Over the long term globalisation promises a much more equal world where incomes are going up and lives are getting better in a much wider share of countries. But that is not how it feels if you make your living through manual labour in the rust belt of America or are juggling a series of temporary low paid contracts and dodging the loan sharks in modern Britain. There the globalisation looks very threatening indeed and it is this that is driving the dangerous drift to the right of modern politics.
I believe that the only way forward in a global economy is to accept that it requires a much stronger degree of international and indeed global economic management. When capitalism is left unmanaged it produces extremes of rich and poor and dangerous booms and busts. We saw that in the UK in the 1800s and the way we dealt with it was to build up the strength of local and then national government and to organise and plan a lot more of what happened in a market economy. This enabled us to build a welfare state in which it was possible for everyone to live their lives in a reasonable degree of security whilst businesses still had the freedom to innovate and change.
In an unregulated global economy we are back to the extremes of wealth and poverty. No one country can effectively tax a multinational corporations profits and the incomes that can be earned by the few individuals who own the rights to a few very successful profits are out of all proportion to any gifts of innovation or hard work that we might wish to reward. Bill Gates is, I am sure, a lovely man, a philanthropist and no doubt very clever. But I don't think he works several billion dollars harder than others or needs quite that much money to incentivise him to innovate. Donald Trump is, I am sure, a very nasty man and no doubt he is very clever in his own way. I don't think he has built up enough resources to buy his way into a Presidential election contest by sheer hard work and insight. The very rich have got a lot bigger share of international income because economic and ideological forces have concentrated wealth amongst the successful and prevented national governments from taxing them effectively.
The way forward is to create effective global management of a global economy. The huge forces of the international economy need proper international guidance in the same way that national ones once did. Without such management the system is exceptionally fragile. There is a dangerous herd mentality in financial markets which results in unpredictable but increasingly wild booms and busts that are damaging for the individual people who get caught up in them and ultimately are not good for business. Something like the 2008 crisis is highly likely to happen again. Last time the problem nearly caused the entire capitalist system to collapse in a very unpleasant way and next time we look like having even less intellectual and organisational tools available to deal with the fall out.
In this insecure world people are ceasing to believe that the old fashioned politicians have adequate answers. Something feels very badly wrong to a lot of people in the first world, especially to people in the working classes who have seen the most extreme changes to their lifestyle. This makes some people prepared to listen to positive proposals to change that are very different and leaves others inclined to believe that if we can just shut out the foreigners and build a wall it will all be OK.
Fortunately the second big change that is underway is pushing much more strongly in a positive direction. Global technology is changing. Once the economy was dominated by agriculture and run by the manual labour of people or animals. Then it depended on coal, industry, iron and steam. In the 1900s it moved on to operate via electricity and it oil and gas reserves. Now it is moving very rapidly towards alternative sources of power generation and storage. The huge levels of investment which are now pouring into the technology of power are driving very rapid changes in the efficiency, the cost and the convenience of power generation, low power technology and energy storage. Technical changes of this nature come along once a generation and when they happen they happen much faster than anyone every expected. I speak as someone who has walked inside a computer and turned the handle on a calculator.
A dependence on oil concentrates significant economic power in the hands of some very unpleasant people. For example one of the strongest drivers of the rise of Islamic fundamentalism is the use of significant amounts of oil revenues to fund extreme religious propaganda across the world. The power of those oil revenues has left the vast majority of Western nations keener on getting some of it back via arms sales than they are on delivering the message that allowing funding to flow to religious fanatics who pilot planes into your cities is simply unacceptable.
Oil driven technology gives you wars to control the territory on which that oil happens to sit. It creates wealth not for creators of new and innovative ideas. Market forces simply dump large quantities of cash into the hands of the lucky or powerful people who happen to sit on top of some fossils and have the weapons to control that resource.
The next phase of technology looks like being much more positive. Solar, wind and water technologies can be deployed almost anywhere. They are local and relatively small scale. They depend on scientific research and technological innovation. So market forces are likely to reward the scientists and the technologists who create the best ways of doing them. They also require, and are now beginning to get, serious state support to get off the ground and reach economic takeoff. That means collaboration between state and industry often internationally.
If I am even vaguely right in this analysis then we have a difficult 10 to 20 years ahead of us but a very bright future. The long term prospects are for the economy and society to be much less militaristic, much more dependent on science technology and education, much more localised and massively less damaging for the environment. Unfortunately right now that is not as evident as the damage that has been caused by the worst excesses of the last phase of technology.
The key challenge for us all is therefore this. Can we hold off the aggressive drive of some very unpleasant politicians to stoke the fears of ordinary people for long enough for the benefits of the next phase of technology to start to come clearly through? We are in a battle for hearts and minds that has never been more important. Are we going to allow our politicians to convince us that they can take us back to the old world where the working class in the affluent nations had never had it so good? Or are we going to succeed in persuading people that the clue to a happier more successful future is investing heavily and quickly in the technology, industry, business, skills and science that lead to a much more promising future? | {

One Of Infinity War's Deleted Scenes Includes A Very Subtle Downey Easter Egg
By Michael Briers @briersytweets 2 years ago
With a production budget in excess of $300 million, Avengers: Infinity War is a carefully crafted Marvel masterpiece.
Be it the moment-to-moment character interactions or the eye-popping visual effects, the MCU's biggest ever movie is a success on practically every level, so it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that even the smallest little details – like, say, the date mentioned by Pepper Potts during one of Infinity War's deleted scenes – carry some sense of purpose.
Per Reddit, it's been confirmed that the deleted scene involving Pepper and Tony Stark contains a very subtle Easter egg that's all about Robert Downey Jr. and his wife Susan Downey. That's because the date mentioned by Pepper Potts (read: August 27th) is actually the date RDJ and Susan married to become the Downeys back in 2005 – three years before Downey Jr.'s career launched into the stratosphere thanks to Iron Man.
One Of Infinity War's Deleted Scenes Includes A Very Subtle Downey Easter Egg
It's an incredibly subtle detail, but it's further proof that Avengers: Infinity War is filled with tiny little nods and callbacks to MCU past – not to mention the actors responsible for building this franchise into the global, $17 billion juggernaut it is today.
You'll also remember that the whole Tony Stark/Pepper Potts marriage arc was first teased during the finale of Spider-Man: Homecoming, when Peter Parker was supposed to be introduced as the latest Avenger (replete with the Iron Spider suit, no less). Things didn't exactly go according to plan, and Tony was forced to concoct a backup plan to appease those members of the press who had made the journey to Avengers HQ. And the rest is history.
Granted, Avengers: Infinity War threw a spanner in the works for Stark's wedding plans, and we'll have to wait until Avengers 4 arrives next year before we find out what the Russo Brothers have in store for the MCU's loved-up couple.

By CORRESPONDENT, KITALE, September 19 – Three suspected cattle rustlers were shot dead on Thursday night when they raided a remote village on the outskirts of Kitale town.
The slain men were part of group of over 60 raiders who had wanted to steal livestock from Kolongolo village in Kwanza constituency when they were confronted by the police. Four others are believed to have escaped with gunshot injuries during the shootout with the law enforcers.
Police said three locals were also injured when they attempted to block the raiders' gateway during the midnight attack that occurred a few kilometres from the Pokot- Trans Nzoia border that has been notorious for banditry attacks.
Kwanza District Commissioner Hassan Mohammed said the members of the public who were wounded are admitted to the Kitale district hospital in a stable condition. They were said to have been shot when they tried to repulse the raiders.
Mohammed said police were pursuing the attackers who had engaged the police in an hour-long shootout before they retreated to a forest along the border between Trans Nzoia and West Pokot districts.
"We recovered three AK-47 rifles from the dead men and our officers are still pursing the others who fled. We will not rest until we get rid of this group because it has given us a lot of problems," he said.
Reports said the group stormed the village at about 10pm and started shooting randomly into the air to scare away residents before they attempted to drive away cattle. Police were attracted by screams from residents who were woken up by the gun shots.
"Our officers responded and engaged them in a shoot out and we managed to gun down three of them. We have beefed up security in the region to keep away the cattle rustlers. We will not relent in our efforts to maintain peace and security here," Mohammed said.
Last week, two other raiders were killed in a similar raid that occurred at Kapkoi centre in the same district but no cattle were stolen.
Cattle rustling have been rampant along Kenya's border points particularly on the Somalia, Southern Sudan and Ethiopia frontiers where at least four cattle raids are reported every week.
The recent incident in Northern Kenya was reported last week when 15 people were shot dead and more than 400 domestic animals stolen. | {

I had a couple questions about the TOK Presentation criteria, which I find to be rather vague and unhelpful.
1. For Criterion C (Knower's perspective), can the qualities described be implied throughout? What dictates a "distinctively personal use of arguments and examples or otherwise?"
2. For Criterion D (Connections), what does "considering their implications in related areas" mean? Do I have to talk about what I've discussed through my oral and how it might apply to other related real-life situations?
1. I think that the qualities do appear apparent throughout in well-thought out presentations, but what I did is talk about my learning process in IB and TOK and how that related to the topic. For arguments and examples, talk about things that you have experienced and things that hopefully connect with IB; I go to school in the city, so I used an example that drew on my experiences of going to school in the city, and integrated that into my speech.
2. Talk about the things you propose in your speech and what they could mean for other areas. So, when I proposed a system of ethics based on reason, I used an example to highlight it, and I talked about ethics in Psychology (human sciences). Of course, since I study Psychology I could also use the example as showing a knower's perspective. So basically talk about the implications of what you suggest in other AoK's or just in other parts of life.
Hm... Since my partner's Korean and I'm Chinese, if we used Korean and Chinese sources (and explained them with English, of course), would that constitute "personal sources?"
If I mentioned counterarguments for most of the things I say throughout, would that count as "implications?"
If you make the cultural link apparent, then I would say so. Just make sure it fits with your presentation, not something which was obviously just stuck in to meet the marking criteria.
Yes, counterarguments are good. Look at the benefits of your points as well though, to give a reasoned argument on the conclusions you make. I think that examples are the best way to highlight implications as they can also show personal thought and involvement in the topic.
Remember, it's "implications in other areas" (i think ). So for example, if you are arguing for/against the death penalty, how will that affect a country economically, socially, morally, politically etc. | {

On Wednesday Me (Ella) and Oliver headed down to Cunningsburgh in the South End of Shetland for the annual Show, Oliver was Judging the Wool, and I was judging the Colourbox Competition we hold each year with some of the shows.
When we arrived we had a peerie look around and then headed into the tent where the Wool Judging was to take place and Oliver begin judging the wool people had entered into the show.
Beginning in the late 1980's they developed a Judging sheet for the wool, there are 5 or 6 categories which Oliver Judges each fleece against and gives them a mark out of a set amount. This is beneficial as it gives the entrants some explanation as to where they placed and how it can be improved for another year.
As well as the trophy fleece seen above, Oliver also judges a few other categories such a most commercially saleable fleece, which may be different to the best fleece!
For the best few years we have done a competition with the rural shows where we chose a group of 8 shades of 2ply Jumper Weight to be used in Fair Isle knitting, the entrants then must knit an item using at least 5 of these shades. It has its own category and that's what I was there to Judge!
The entries as ever were extremely strong and it's always great to see how people have put the colours together, some colour selections are more popular than other years but as always we like it to be a challenge!
Unfortunately due to poor weather the Voe Show was cancelled this year, very kindly the Cunningsburgh Show committee decided along with the Voe Committee to show the Voe entries also so I Judged that too, there are always some extremely beautiful pieces of knitting in the Voe Show so I am really happy they were able to be in the Cunningsburgh Show!
The fineness and skill in knitting Shetland Lace never ceases to amaze me and I was happy to see a few of our patterns knitted up, I spotted a Sheelagh and a Gibbie Shawl.
Understandably the knitwear was very busy with people coming to see how they and their friends had fared as well as just coming to see the skills on show.
Of course as it was a rural show there were lots of animals there too, obviously we spent a fair amount of time looking at all the sheep!
But as well as the sheep there were dogs, cattle, horses, ponies and poultry to name a few!
It was a very busy but great morning, as judges we were also treated to a lovely dinner at the hall! Of course I always have my eye out for nice knitwear..
I hope you enjoyed this peek into the Cunningsburgh Show! Til next time, Happy Knitting!
Oh, my gosh. I just viewed this and am in total awe of the fair entries and wool judging. I must take more time to look thru. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful Fair/Show.
Thanks for sharing the amazing inspiration! How beautiful!!!
I've been to WoolWeek twice, but I surely missed out on this! this is awesome. All that knitting, all those skills. What a great day. | {

Was today's Intelligencer editorial written by a Rep. David McKinley staffer or did the editorial writer simply rewrite the McKinley press release?
(There aren't any other choices)
An editorial in this morning's Wheeling Intelligencer heaps a good deal of praise on local representative David McKinley. The editorial begins by telling us that Congress will soon be acting on specific legislation to help sure-up the miners' health insurance program. One of the measures likely to be considered according to the editorial is sponsored by local representative McKinley:
One of them, the HELP for Coal Miners Healthcare Act, is sponsored by Rep. David McKinley, R-W.Va. Votes on it and a companion bill in the Senate are expected this week.
McKinley has been working tirelessly to help the retirees for many months. His dedication to them is because many of the about 22,000 people affected by the problem live right here in the congressman's district.
(Note -- emphasis is mine.)
I decided to google the act ("Coal Miners Healthcare Act") and the congressman to read more about the act and to see if the editorial's description was accurate. I was surprised when the search engine returned only five results. A closer look at the results, however, pointed to what Google thought was a misspelling in my original query:
Did you mean: "Coal Miners Health Care Act" + McKinley
A click on this yielded over 500 results. (Almost 2500 hits if you drop "McKinley.") Interesting -- the editorial had the spelling wrong. I went back to the original "Healthcare"found in the editorial and looked at the five results. One was the press release page on David McKinley's government webpage, two were from his Twitter account, a fourth was Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's Facebook page on which he highlighted McKinley's Twitter feed, and the final link was this morning's editorial. So given the identical McKinley misspellings, either the editorial was written by a McKinley staffer or the press release was the only source for the editorial since any online research would have pointed to the correct spelling of the act.
It seems to me that editorial writers should be doing everything they can to make sure that what they write is correct. That's not the case here. While laziness certainly should not be ruled out as an explanation for this lack of professionalism, I think this has more to do with good publicity for a local favorite than anything else. In any event, this editorial should be a warning to readers of Ogden newspapers. The basic facts (like the act's correct title) in the McKinley PR release on which this editorial is based were easy to check but obviously they weren't. Everything written about the congressman in the editorial may indeed be true but why should a reader trust anything on the page since all of it came from a McKinley press release? When an editorial page clearly demonstrates that it places promotion of a person or a cause over standard journalistic practices, readers ought to simply ignore the message.

Many, many services on the internet provide APIs that are RESTful. They use HTTP and JSON, widely supported technologies, to give a standard way of accessing whatever each service provides - from uploading adverts on Facebook to plugging a bot into a Slack channel.
In this entirely hands-on tutorial, participants will build such a service using established Haskell libraries, to provide a very simple booking system accessible through a JSON+HTTP API.
This introductory level session will not require much experience in Haskell at all, but by the end, participants should walk away with a working system built using common libraries such as servant for providing typed web APIs, and aeson for JSON, with a touch of generics and software transactional memory.
Depending on time and interest, the session might cover optional topics such as serving other content types (for example, HTML or CSV), approaches to storing bookings persistently, or what's actually going on with some of the more interesting type signatures that will be used.
Participants will require a laptop with stack and some other pre-requisites installed, and connectivity to the Skills Matter wifi. A guide to getting the prerequisites installed will appear here before the workshop. | {

Challenge: Winning Moves, the owner of Top Trumps, asked us to create a system which could speed up the output of new online version of their popular card games. The system needed to accommodate a variety of scoring systems and card types.
Creative: We built a Top Trumps game engine. Using Flex, we built automated workflows that enabled us to turn a game around in a matter of days. Output included the first official game of the 2012 London Olympics as well as the one featured here: Best of Bond. | {

InvestmentPitch Media Video Discusses Nextech AR Solutions and its Report of Preliminary 2022 Revenues, with 3D Modeling Revenue Surging 266%
VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Nextech AR Solutions Corp., a Metaverse Company and leading provider of augmented reality experience technologies and 3D model services, released preliminary financial numbers for the year ended December 31, 2022. The company reported preliminary total revenue of $10.3 million for fiscal 2022, with $7.2 million from the legacy eCommerce business.
Technology services generated $3.1 million in revenue, with gross margins increasing from 28% in 2021 to 43% in 2022, an increase of 53%. Growth in the company's surging 3D Modeling sector was a big factor, contributing approximately $1,500,000 to the technology services revenue, an increase of 266% when compared to the approximately $400,000 for fiscal year 2021.
A Media Snippet accompanying this announcement is available by clicking here.

For more information, please view the InvestmentPitch Media video which provides additional information about this news and the company along with video comments from Nextech AR's CEO, Evan Gappelberg. The video is available for viewing on "InvestmentPitch" and on "YouTube". If these links are not enabled, please visit www.InvestmentPitch.com and enter "Nextech" in the search box.
Earlier this week, the company reported that this proprietary AI-based technology for 3D model creation, using through composition of deformable parts, is now covered under a new US patent titled "Generating Three-Dimensional Models by Part".
The company is actively using this breakthrough, part-based 3D model creation technology and has expanded its library to more than 100,000 3D model parts. These parts are used to create a 3D model as most 3D models are composed of several individual parts. Every time a new 3D model is created, the parts are harvested into Nextech's AI powered 3D parts library, thus expanding the library, which in turn makes it both easier and quicker to create new 3D models.
The company has been a favorite with investors, particularly following the highly successful spinoff of ARway in October. With ARway currently trading at $1.15, Nextech's holdings of 13 million shares are contributing about $15 million to Nextech's market capitalization.
On December 15th, the company announced plans to spinoff of Toggle3D which enables product designers, 3D artists, marketing professionals and eCommerce site owners to create, customize and publish high-quality 3D models without any technical or 3D design knowledge. Management anticipates that Toggle3D will be approved for listing on the CSE in the first half of 2023. The record date for this spinoff has not yet been set.
This software will address the global computer aided design market, which is expected to grow from US$9.89 billion in 2022 to US$17.47 billion by 2030, a compound annual growth rate of 6.9%, according to a recent report by Research and Markets, the world's largest market research store.
The shares are trading at $0.85. For more information, please visit the company's website at www.NextechAR.com. Investor Relations is handled by Lindsay Betts, who can be reached at 866-274-8493 Ext 7201 or by email at [email protected]. | {

You can ruin another disguise kit using delicious seaweed.
No true spy should ever be caught with one!
The underwater disguise kit is obtained by using delicious seaweed on the goebie disguise kit, as part of the Mod Deg trading sequence. Using the delicious seaweed on the goebie disguise kit does not consume the delicious seaweed.
If the kit is operated underwater, the player will be surrounded by a bubble, and the item bubbles will be equipped in their weapon slot.
Using one of the Heart of Gielinor toys (Daystone, Nightstone, Lava ball, Mysterious bottle), while having the rest of them in the inventory, on the underwater disguise kit will create the broken disguise kit.
There was a glitch that allowed a player to freeze their animations by exploiting the Lodestone Network when the kit is used. This allowed any emote that didn't transmogrify the player, such as LOLcano, to play only its graphics, and allowed skilling-based animations, such as playing the harps, to not work as intended until the player dies, logs out, or becomes transmogrified resetting their animation. This was patched on 7 March 2016. | {

Hard Times that Need Hard Answers
By Alan Caruba
I am paying more for everything these days and this is brought home to me every time I go to the supermarket and contemplate buying anything from an avocado to a London broil. I can't imagine what it must be like to feed a family with two or three children.
I never imagined living in a nation where an 18-year-old girl would move out of her parent's home and then sue them to pay for her college tuition and other support. A judge put an end to that nonsense.
I often feel like I am drowning in nonsense. I delete upwards of eighty emails I receive every day because they tell me that I am going to receive millions of dollars from people I do not know, offer dubious business propositions, loans, or they are from companies in foreign countries whose language I neither read, nor speak.
The news media deluged me with constant speculation and rumor about a missing Malaysian jet liner that is likely at the bottom of the Indian ocean and not likely to be found for years, if ever. I feel sorry for the passengers, but this occurred while Russia's Putin was breaking a whole bunch of treaties to reclaim Crimea.
What the media has not told you is that the Ukraine has been run by a seriously corrupt group of people who routinely plundered it and that, in taking over the Crimea, Putin has taken on a new financial burden and a region that receives its power from the Ukraine. So, while he has secured control of the Russian naval ports and some military installations, he has also added to Russia's cost of operation when its economy is not that strong to begin with. The likelihood that he would invade Lithuania, Estonia, and Moldova is small and, in fact, he has spurred a sleepy NATO and European Union to gear up militarily.
The same media has managed to largely ignore the lies the President and his former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, told about the killing of a U.S. ambassador and three security personnel in Benghazi, Libya. It has largely ignored the corruption of the Internal Revenue Service by politicizing it into an instrument to deter Tea Party and patriot groups from being granted the same non-profit status that liberal groups routinely receive. There were other scandals such as Fast and Furious in which guns were provided to Mexican drug cartels that then were used to kill a U.S. Border Patrol agent and countless Mexicans.
When he lifted the sanctions against Iran in order to negotiate their cessation of efforts to build their own nuclear weapons, Obama ignored their decades of declared hatred of America and Israel, and the fact that Iran is the world's leading sponsor of terrorism that is keeping the Middle East in turmoil. Syria is just one example. Why would anyone want to negotiate with Iran? Decades of negotiations with the nuclear armed North Korea achieved nothing.
The strength of the United States since the end of World War Two allowed nations to move toward greater democratization. It resisted the Soviet Union during the Cold War for some four decades and saw its collapse in 1991. Our record is not perfect. The decision to go to war in Vietnam was wrong. The decision to go to war with Saddam Hussein's Iraq after he invaded Kuwait was right, but the later war to remove him from power achieved that goal while ending in total withdrawal from a nation with no experience of self-governance. The "red line" asserted for Syria when its dictator used poison gas was withdrawn within a day.
Hard times call for hard answers and hard decisions. America's hard times, economically, are the direct result, not only of Obama's failure to put right the financial ills of the 2008 banking crisis, but of piling on trillions in more debt with government "stimulus" programs that had never worked in the past.
Not only did the President deliberately lie repeatedly about Obamacare, its passage has played havoc, generating unemployment as companies large and small responded to the rescinding of existing health insurance programs and new rules of how many can be employed, full and part time. It literally forced the cancellation of health insurance that people liked in order to force them to purchase more expensive insurance they could barely afford and didn't like.
Hard times have been made much harder for millions who are unemployed and have ceased looking for work because of the scarcity of jobs. Instead, the government expanded welfare programs from unemployment compensation to food stamps. It destroyed the self-reliance that Americans have believed in from its founding.
At home and abroad, the hard times have gotten harder and the President, protected by a compliant news media, has found plenty of time to play golf and vacation continually, while displaying an indifference to the welfare of Americans and others around the world that is breathtaking. As Putin was annexing the Crimea, the President was shown working on the "brackets" predicting the outcome of the NCAA men's basketball season.
The only hope for the future now rests with the outcome of the November midterm elections. If disaffected Democrats and independents join with Republicans, returning power in the Senate and expanding it in the House holds some hope of responding to our economic malaise.
I have paid my taxes and my only thought while doing so was the realization that most of the nation's budget is now devoted to "entitlement" programs that are predicted to be insolvent in the near future.

The world has gone mad... It's standing on it's head and imitating what was once a good thing...
Hard times do indeed need hard answers, and hard people willing to stand and speak truth and reality...
All we can do now is hope that someone is actually listening..
Eddy Burke said...
This is all the consequence of the fact that the Left (Liberals) lives in la-la make- believe land. They think that reality can be molded according to their ideology. But ideas have consequences! Well, here we are!

If this winter is going to be anything like the last it is important to get your vehicle ready. The weather can change quickly and we need to prepare for the unpredictable driving conditions.
When we think of safety on the road, we think of air bags, maintaining focus, and the safety ratings of our vehicles. We often forget that we are in control of one of the key aspects of our vehicles that keep us safe: tires. Tires help with traction, steering, stability, breaking and general handling. As all of these components of driving are essential to our safety on the roads, not having the appropriate tires can be catastrophic.
In Quebec they require that all vehicles by law have winter tires installed by December 15 but we have yet to adopt this law in Nova Scotia. Winter tires are effective when the temperature cools down below 7 degrees. They have thick tread that helps give you the traction you need to get through slush and snow. Regardless of apparent wear, tires should be changed at least every 6 years.
Pack a folding shovel and winter survival kit in the trunk. This kit should include a flashlight, sand for traction, booster cables, batteries, food, water, blanket and a set of hat and mitts.
Keep your gas tank full. This will prevent the gas lines from freezing.
During a bad storm it is best to stay off the road or use public transit. If you must venture out then ensure your car is completely cleaned off, give yourself lots of time, slow down and increase your following distance. Always keep up to date with weather and driving conditions in your area.

FINE ARTS. The Eyes of Africa
DIPLOMAT MAGAZINE "For diplomats, by diplomats" Reaching out the world from the European Union First diplomatic publication based in The Netherlands Founded by members of the diplomatic corps on June 19th, 2013. Diplomat Magazine is inspiring diplomats, civil servants and academics to contribute to a free flow of ideas through an extremely rich diplomatic life, full of exclusive events and cultural exchanges, as well as by exposing profound ideas and political debates in our printed and online editions.
By Céline Seror, founder of ARTNESS
What strikes you the most when you stand for the first time in front of Angèle Etoundi Essamba's photographs are the eyes. Over the past 30 years, the Cameroonian photographer has built a unique collection of black women portraits getting to the essence of African femininity. In her work, Essamba breaks away from stereotypical representations of a continent torn by famines, epidemics and wars, and instead, celebrates the many faces of the African woman across cultural, social and physical identities.
Her outlook is equally aesthetic, realistic, and intimate and lies at the intersection of the social and artistic fields. Naturally, Essamba's work joins the spirit of humanistic photography to the values of communion, solidarity and equality between men and women. Pride, strength, and consciousness of African women, as well as the relation between tradition and modernity, is what Essamba's black & white photography reveal.
" Through her lens of great immediacy and powerful curiosity, Angèle Etoundi Essamba enables us not just to look or nor at, but to actually look into what is portrayed, captured or created in her work" UNESCO, Paris
"Angèle Etoundi Essamba is rightly celebrated as the most prominent African woman photographer of her generation" The World Bank Art Program, Washington D.C.
Angèle Etoundi Essamba was born in Douala and grew up in Yaoundé. She lives and works in Amsterdam.
ARTNESS is proud to represent the work of Angèle Etoundi Essamba. To schedule a private or group visit to her studio, feel free to contact Céline Seror at [email protected] or +31 6 50 29 67 65
ARTNESS is an art agency located in Amsterdam aiming at: -representing new works of art through a portfolio of renowned and emerging artists, -advising private and corporate collectors on the choice of their next art acquisition, -coordinating art-related projects such as artist studio visits, workshops, publications and events across the world. www.artness.nl

Rapha Mondial: Rocks of Ages
We ride events such as the Etape not just to pedal in the tracks of our heroes but to answer the call of the mountains. In this piece from the Mondial Archives, Julian Hoffman explores why mountains occupy such a special place in the human imagination.
Words: Julian Hoffman
Photography: George Marshall & Jonny Hines
It was all sky and stone as we neared the ridge, a circle of rising ravens like a wreath above us. They revelled in the spring wind with silent ease, with the same playful grace as dolphins sheering through water. As we'd climbed I'd watched trees shrink to shrubs, the long, clasping cold of the uplands keeping them from straying too high. Angling sharply across the mountain slope, we tried making ourselves as small and unthreatening as we could, hunching down into our clothes and speaking as little as possible. With each step we crushed a carpet of wild thyme, its scent trailing behind us like the wake of a boat.
Whenever there was a need to change direction Vladimir Dobrev pointed to our route without a word. After only a few hours in his company I could already feel how at home he was in the mountains of south-east Bulgaria, his easy affability and naturalist's keen eye a perfect accompaniment to the deft lightness of his steps.
Reaching a grassy hollow, Vladimir motioned for me to wait. He unstrapped a collapsed tripod and telescope from his pack, then scrunched himself small to slink forward with the gear. From my angle it looked like he'd reached the lip of a crevasse, and I watched him glance over the edge before swiftly planting the telescope, spinning the focus wheel until a place somewhere below him eventually became clear.
"Your turn," whispered Vladimir, beaming as he reached me. "Just remember to be quick. No more than a few seconds".
In the moment before I peered through the telescope, I saw how the ridge fell sharply away, forming one wall of a deep but narrow canyon. Closing my left eye, an extraordinary, prehistoric-looking bird filled the other through the lens. It was perched in a stone alcove on the opposing rock face like some ancient guardian of the abyss, the all-seeing keeper of the canyon. Secluded in its remote chamber, the Egyptian vulture stayed faithful to its nest while its partner sought carrion across the windblown Eastern Rhodopis range. It dwelled in a realm of stone and stark precipices, living apart from other animals and beyond the reach of most things, peerless in its ascetic attachment to cliffs. For a flicker of time on that ridge, it felt as though we'd peered into another world.
"Landscape may have no plot,
but it has much by way of revelation."
– Anne Enright
Landscapes can elicit echoes in our perception of them. Whether it's a shared affinity of shape or mood we discern between otherwise dissimilar places, or the repetition of a distinct detail that we notice within a wider physical space, like a particular style of drystone walling or some recurring natural feature, we are acutely receptive to the presence of correspondences and patterns in our geographical experience. They act as anchors in the wider landscape of our lives; they lend coherence to our crossings.
Coming down the mountain, I couldn't help but think of all the rock niches I'd seen that morning as we drove through the Arda Valley towards the site, the strange and beautiful alcoves that are the relics of a vanished race. Entire cliff faces in the Eastern Rhodopi mountains are inset with intriguing hollows. Hewn as high as 50 metres up sheer limestone, sandstone or volcanic tuff walls, some of the niches are scattered in small clusters while others are arranged in sets of long, neat rows like an extravagant suite of windows. Cut by the ancient Thracians, the trapezoidal spaces, sometimes numbering as many as 100 or more on any given rock face, remain an enduring enigma. While no one is entirely sure what precise purpose they served, it's believed the niches played some part in Thracian burial rites. A number of scholars and archaeologists have claimed they might have been used to store sacred objects on days of ritual celebration, while others have suggested they acted as symbolic gateways to the afterworld. There is also a strong possibility that urns of cremated remains were placed inside the high, empty chambers, meaning the cliffs we'd passed that morning may long ago have been cemeteries, steep walls of remembrance and mourning.
Standing beneath them it's difficult to fathom how large numbers of the niches were even reached some 2,500 to 3,000 years ago, when it's believed they were carved. This puzzle adds to the powerful, magnetic pull they have in the landscape. In form they share similarities with the alcoves found in Greek homes and churches where candles and pictures of patron saints are placed, but in spirit their mountain settings are far more redolent of the Egyptian vulture's remote dwelling. Regardless of the many questions surrounding their use, it's clear the Thracians invested high places with considerable meaning.
Mountains have long held significance for the human race as places where our divine stories are written. Whether it's Mount Kailash in the Himalayas of western Tibet, considered sacred to Jains, Buddhists, Hindus and the indigenous Bon religion, or Mount Olympus in Greece, the country's highest mountain and the dwelling place of Zeus, Hera, Apollo and the other Olympian gods of the ancient Hellenistic world, the high peaks and pinnacles of the planet have raised human imagination and spirituality into their soaring spaces. Alongside these loftier associations, though, mountains are home to our more earthly stories as well, acting as repositories of the human histories enacted upon their surface.
On 19th September 1991, Helmut and Erika Simon were hiking in the Ötztal Alps of Italy's South Tyrol region, descending from the Finail peak beneath a flawless blue sky, when they decided to take a shortcut off the marked mountain path. Threading through a granite gully pooled with meltwater and ice, they suddenly saw something brown and unsettling jutting from the glacial slush.
The mummified corpse they discovered that day became known as Ötzi the Iceman, astonishingly well-preserved by snow and glacier, encased for more than 5,000 years amid the high cathedral peaks of the well-trodden Alps. Naturally mummified, together with his clothing made from various hides and skins, as well as equipment that included an ash-handled dagger and a bow carved from yew, Ötzi was an unprecedented discovery and allowed an extraordinarily intimate glimpse into the life and times of Stone Age man and his relationship to the mountains. As glaciers across the world continue to recede in the face of climate change, alpine landscapes are revealing such celebrated archaeological finds more frequently. But they also preserve a more prosaic and everyday history, a shared fund of common memory.
When my wife and I first moved to a village in the mountains of northern Greece beside the Prespa Lakes we spent five years working the land as market gardeners. With the gracious help of villagers only recently met we managed to rent fields at the foot of steep slopes that rose to a sharp granite ridge marking the border with the former Yugoslavia. In spring, as a ripple of green grass swept steadily up the mountains, we would take spades to the earth. In the upturned soil, still claggy from winter rains and melted snow, lost objects would occasionally resurface.
The first coin was so tarnished that I mistook it for a rusted bottle cap; but when brushed clear of soil and rinsed at home the delicate Arabic script of the Ottoman Empire that once ruled over these mountain villages was clear. The next one had been worn as thin and smooth as a blade, perhaps regularly worried by its owner's fingers, the same fingers that wore the hole in a trouser pocket that the coin may have slipped through to hit the earth. Though fainter on this one, the Arabic script was again unmistakeable. By the time we'd found a third coin a year or two later – a silver piece minted by the Kingdom of Greece in 1912, decorated with the little owl sacred to the goddess Athena and with a hole punched through the centre – I had begun to understand that these mountains were intimately layered with the history of our new home.
I could look up from the fields in summer's dizzying sunlight and see abandoned huts and shelters studding the lower slopes, the stone ruins that spoke for all the shepherds who once led their animals inside in the thinning light of dusk to keep them safe from the bears and wolves that roam there at night. Evidence of the animals' extensive grazing could still be seen in the nearly treeless mountain rise, a stark reminder of a time before the Greek Civil War ravaged the region, emptying it of all but a handful of people, in the late 1940s.
So dense were the flocks of domestic animals back then, when the population of our village was 3,000 instead of the 150 it is today, that the mountainsides must have seemed to be perpetually on the move, wavering like a forest of rippled leaves. And where the animals were forbidden to graze you can still trace across the mountains the outlines of abandoned agricultural terraces, waves of levelled land rising to some of the highest peaks in the massif, hand-worked for subsistence cereals and eventually worn down like that smooth Ottoman coin by weather and emigration. Over the course of many seasons the mountains were a book that had been opened for us, their slopes inscribed with myriad stories, history clinging to them like stubborn spring snow.
In the summer we moved to Greece some 15 years ago we spent time with a Slovenian friend before setting off on the last stage of our journey south. Of all the resplendent landscapes we discovered with her that month the Julian Alps glittered brightest. Part of the Southern Limestone Alps – spanning Austria, Italy and Switzerland as well as Slovenia – the mountains were the same misty grey as the feathers of a dove, clad in a skirt of dark-green larch trees and studded with sharp and magnificent pinnacles. Snow still gleamed off the highest spires, a beguiling winter light that shone deep into our summer stay. But as striking as the Julian Alps are in their physical appearance, part of their appeal stems from their specific geological heritage.
Limestone is the unrivalled history book of place. If we had some way of decoding all its varied and complex signs, some Rosetta Stone to aid with translation, limestone would be the most telling of geologies. It is a stone that is largely composed of the fragmented remains of marine organisms, the compressed microskeletons and shells of antique sea creatures that sifted downwards through water at their deaths. To walk a limestone ridge, whether in the Julian Alps or the Jura mountains of France and Switzerland, is to make your way crab-like across the bed of an ancient ocean, clambering across countless compacted life forms that have been lifted into the sky by powerful tectonic movements, becoming in their transfigured state the ideal realm for vultures, gods and the human imagination.
However, limestone's unique appeal does not stem solely from it being a store of ancient aquatic creatures – that "crushed reef of memory", as Anne Michaels so memorably describes it in her novel Fugitive Pieces – but also because it weathers and ages so easily, reminding us that even stone is in motion in its lifetime. As though in solidarity with its oceanic origins limestone is soluble, slowly but irrevocably dissolving upon contact with water. Each and every rainfall since its creation is recorded in the grooves and runnels of the rock; each season of snowmelt archived in its deepening hollows and dips. Limestone is an almanac of precipitation, inscribed with ever greater lines and creases as it grows older, ageing and weathering like the human face. And just as the experiences of the world score our features, so we leave marks and traces on the surface of the earth.
At 1,611 metres, the Vršič Pass is the highest crossing in the Julian Alps. From it you are nearly encircled by astonishing peaks, brought so near to their jagged grey pedestals that it can feel like you are soaring alongside them. But long after we had scrabbled up a slope of scree to reach the summit of Slemenova Mountain, where the Julian Alps spread in all directions as though we rode the high crests of a roiling grey sea, it turned out to be a human tribute in those mountains that lingered with me most vividly. The exquisite wooden chapel is set amid larches on the north side of the Vršič Pass, and its unlikeliness in the landscape is striking: a bulbed tower on either side of the nave; a set of simple graves; a small stone pyramid inscribed "To the Sons of Russia" in Cyrillic script.
In memory of the men who lost their lives in these mountains, the chapel was built in 1916 while the First World War raged across Europe. As the Vršič Pass took on increasing strategic significance as a way for the Austro-Hungarian Army to supply its soldiers battling Italian forces on the Isonzo Front, the authorities ordered a military road to be built up and over the Alps to reach them. It was Russian prisoners of war who carried out the work.
Officially renamed the Russian Road in 2006, the prisoners' combined and arduous effort rises through two-dozen hairpin bends on either side of the pass, an astonishing 15 miles laid through the alpine wilds. Begun in the spring of 1915, the road was completed by the end of that year, a remarkable feat of labour and engineering; but to make the supply route traversable in all seasons the PoWs were ordered to keep the road shovelled clear of even the heaviest snows. So it was that in March 1916 an avalanche buried the work camp, killing hundreds of Russian prisoners and dozens of their Austrian guards. To commemorate their comrades the remaining PoWs built the chapel of dark-stained wood that still stands near the pass.
The chapel was locked on the day we were there so I peered through a window, discovering a black-and-white photograph framed on the vestibule wall. The photograph I took of it through the pane of glass now sits on my desk – an image nested within an image, like one of those Russian babushka dolls that contains an even smaller one inside. It shows the chapel backed by a sparser, more ragged winter forest, presumably cut for building materials and the army's ravenous need for fire and fuel. At its front, where I'd climbed the limestone steps to the door, are gathered hundreds of men. Judging from their uniforms, those who are seated appear to be Austro-Hungarian officers and soldiers while the Russian PoWs stand at the back, several of them wearing the tall fleece hats of the Cossack regiments.
As far as I can tell the photograph was taken in 1916 during the opening ceremony for the chapel. Even with the aid of a magnifying glass the men are too small to divine much beyond their solemn expressions, but long after they walked away from the Russian chapel, returning to their respective wartime duties as guards and prisoners that winter, the story of their time on the mountain will be visible. They scored the limestone with an unforgettable line.
During the years when those Ottoman coins we found in our fields were the currency of these lands, Greek Orthodox monks retreated to the high landscapes around the Prespa Lakes. For centuries they cloistered here; ascetic, remote, alone. Men who had shed some of the world as a way of contemplating its essence. At the edge of a mountain lake they lived lives pared down to clear symmetry, in the way a piece of bone is carved slowly into shape, made meaningful by what is shed.
The limestone slopes of Mount Devas end abruptly in a peninsula that is stilted above the lake on tall cliffs. Pale as the winter moon at its tip, the crescent coast mottles to mineral brown as it bends south, a curve of steep stone trellised with creepers and fugitive trees, anchoring the ancient junipers that grow gnarled and woven on its surface. Fissured with countless caves, the cliffs house large colonies of chambered bats. And it's here on this stone headland that those monks dwelled, the relics of their residency still visible in the collapsing eremitic cells and fading frescoes of saints, the hermitages enclosed by rock walls. For a remarkable number of sacred systems mountains have been revered as the distilled essence of their worldview –from Mount Fuji in Japan, long ascended by pilgrims and named after a Buddhist fire goddess as well as being the home of a Shinto deity, to the mountain range above the Barron River gorge in Queensland, Australia, that the ancestral being Damarri transformed himself into according to the Dreamtime creation stories of the aboriginal Djabugay people.
Human cultures have long connected the planet's high places to their foundational beliefs, but for this community of monks the Prespa landscape provided another advantage common to highland regions: it offered refuge and sanctuary. Far less accessible than the lowland plains when Ottoman rule swept across the Balkans, this remote peninsula was encircled by high peaks which enabled it to become a centre of Christian pilgrimage and prayer.
While some monks lived inside caves, others carved beds from the cliffs, little more than hard, ungiving lips suspended above the lake. The old timbers of the chapel interiors where they came together have been blackened by candle smoke but outside, in the crush of summer light, the heat is gathered by the suntrap of white, coastal stone, reflected until it wearies with its intensity. The heat is dry and withering, and perhaps that's what the monks sought from this peninsula that slides from the highlands into a bowl of blue water: to live in the mountains but know the light of their desert fathers.
We discover mountains in countless, unexpected ways, their stories disclosed to us by chance as much as by delving beneath their surface. I had journeyed to Bulgaria to learn about the plight of the Egyptian vulture in the Balkans. Once as common as the myths and legends that surround high places, there are now fewer than 70 pairs across the entire, vast peninsula, nearing extinction in the wider region as a result of, poisoning, power-line collisions and poaching, either there or on the birds' wintering grounds in Africa. As its population sinks ever lower each year, the Egyptian vulture has made the Eastern Rhodopi Mountains the heartland of its kind in south-eastern Europe, the exact same place that the ancient Thracians chose to carve their high, mysterious niches. The meanings of mountains are many, defined and articulated within the overlapping orbits of culture and historic age, the Thracians perceiving highlands through a cosmological lens particular to their place, time and race. The canyons and cliff faces of their niches express some unknown essence of their relationship with the world, symbolic of their ancient longings, vision and beliefs, just as in the modern western world mountains are often perceived as physical and mental challenges, places of intense personal engagement and rich aesthetic pleasure that reflect our cultural foregrounding of beauty and the individual. For many of us mountains lend a sense of liberty to our days, an expansive freedom gained from the breathtaking combination of height, space, adventure and vista. But for all the solitude of mountains, it's rare that we are alone in our experience of them. We walk, cycle and climb over landscapes already crossed, following paths pressed into the earth by others, while adding to them with our own. Each time we layer the land with new stories.

[edit] Translators
WNEP serves one of the largest coverage areas east of the Mississippi River. This area is very mountainous meaning that some areas cannot get a clear signal from channel 50. As a result, it operates one of the largest translator systems of any station in the Eastern Time Zone. WNEP-TV is also one of a very few television stations that operates the entire translator system in digital.

[edit] History
[edit] WILK and WARM
There were originally two ABC network affiliates in Northeastern Pennsylvania. WILK-TV channel 34 (owned by WILK (AM)) in Wilkes-Barre took to the air on September 16, 1953. It was followed by WARM-TV channel 16 (owned by WARM (AM) in Scranton on January 2, 1954. During the late 1950s, WILK-TV was also briefly affiliated with the NTA Film Network.[1]
WILK wanted to get a head start on the other local stations when it signed on in 1953, going on the air at 2 p.m. rather than the 3 p.m. sign on that the other stations did. The engineers got the signal ready by noon and decided to take a break. However, at lunch, they turned on the station to inspect their handiwork, only to find the signal was dead. They rushed back and were able to establish the link by 1:50 PM, 10 minutes before sign-on.[2]
Getting a signal from ABC headquarters in New York City was a challenge in the early days with no access to satellites. As a result, WILK set up a microwave tower in Effort, about 45 miles east of Wilkes-Barre. From there, the network signal was bounced to the Penobscot Knob transmitter site. Often, station engineers had to adjust the Effort transmitter to accept a signal from WFIL-TV in Philadelphia (now WPVI-TV) if they were unable to receive the New York feed.
WILK-TV and WARM-TV were both losing money, in large part because their network, ABC, was not on an equal footing with NBC and CBS (and would not be until the 1970s). However, they stayed on the air because they were owned by well-respected local radio stations.
[edit] Early years as WNEP-TV
By 1955, however, it was obvious that Scranton and Wilkes-Barre were going to be a single television market. Accordingly, WILK and WARM agreed to merge. The new station, WNEP-TV, went on the air on New Year's Day in 1956. It operates under WILK's license, but uses WARM-TV's channel 16 to provide more signal to its vast coverage area at less cost. Along with the merger came a new owner, Transcontinent Broadcasting of Buffalo, New York. WILK's old channel 34 was reassigned to WBJA-TV (now WIVT), another ABC affiliate in Binghamton, New York; the WARM-TV transmitter was donated a decade later to the area's PBS member station, WVIA-TV. WNEP-TV was based in WILK-TV's old studio in downtown Wilkes-Barre, but then as now it was licensed to Scranton since it assumed WARM-TV's old channel allocation. In 1962, it moved to a new studio near the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport.
WNEP initially struggled to survive, just like its predecessors. However, the station took off in 1958 thanks in part to ABC's color programming and the station's new transmitter on Penobscot Knob. The new transmitter, which was the first million-watt signal in the market, increased WNEP's broadcast range to cover 15 counties [2].
Despite its increased coverage area, WNEP bounced back and forth in the ratings for most of the next two decades. It was never able to achieve any consistency because viewers in Scranton thought of it as a Wilkes-Barre station, while viewers in Wilkes-Barre thought of it as a Scranton station. In the mid-1970s, news director Elden Hale decided to take a regional approach. He billed the station as serving "Northeastern and Central Pennsylvania," and stepped up coverage of the remote portions of the market. These areas had largely been ignored by the other stations in town. He also added the area's first (and as of 2008[update], only) news helicopter. This approach quickly paid off. In November 1976, WNEP surged to first place for the first time in a decade. After briefly falling back to second it surged to number one in 1978, around the same time ABC became the nation's number one network. Apart from a brief period in the mid-1990s when WBRE passed it, it has been number one ever since.
Transcontinent merged with Taft Broadcasting in 1964. When Taft bought WIBF-TV in Philadelphia and changed the calls to WTAF-TV in 1969 (now WTXF-TV), it sought a waiver to keep both stations. WNEP's Grade B signal reaches the Lehigh Valley, which is part of the Philadelphia market. WNEP has also operated an outlying transmitter on channel 7 in Allentown for many years. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) normally did not allow one company to own two stations with overlapping coverage areas. While it initially granted the waiver, it reversed itself later in 1969 and forced Taft to sell WNEP.
An employee group, NEP Communications, bought the station and presided over its surge to first place. NEP Communications operated a remote production company. Following the sale to the Times, Tom Shelburne spun off the production company into NEP Broadcasting which has become a world leader in providing remote broadcast facilities for the Olympics, World Cup Soccer and the Academy Awards as well as New York City's largest studio production facility owning the studios where Colbert Report, The Daily Show, Sesame Street and People's Court are produced.[3]
In 1985, The New York Times Company bought the station and WNEP moved to its current studios in Moosic in 1989. The station's new facility is almost an exact copy of the building the New York Times built for sister station WHNT-TV in Huntsville, Alabama, but on a larger scale. On January 4, 2007, the station, along with the eight other stations owned by the New York Times' broadcast media group, were sold to Oak Hill Capital Partners in a $575 million transaction. As of 12:01 a.m., May 7, 2007, the station is operated as part of Local TV LLC.[4]
[edit] Analog broadcast tower collapse
WNEP-TV's transmission tower broadcasting the analog signal on channel 16 collapsed on December 16, 2007 due to severe ice, winds, and snow at the transmitter location on Penobscot Knob[5]. The tower collapse also destroyed the transmitter building. No one was injured during the incident[5]. WCLH's FM antenna and transmitter, which was co-located on WNEP's analog TV tower, was also destroyed during the incident [6]. Transmission of the digital signal on channel 49 was restored after a brief interruption of power to the tower supporting the digital transmitter and antenna. WNEP's signal on local cable systems and satellite was restored by the end of the day on December 16, 2007. WNEP-TV partially restored its analog over the air TV signal by January 1, 2008 [7] by broadcasting from the nearby American Tower on Penobscot Knob supporting the WNEP-DT antenna as well as WOLF-TV/DT's antenna[8][9].
As the WNEP-TV analog broadcast tower collapsed on December 16, 2007, one of the falling guy wires supporting the WNEP-TV tower damaged the neighboring tower broadcasting WVIA-TV (analog and digital) and WVIA-FM by shearing off the top section of the WVIA tower supporting the antenna for the analog and digital TV signals. The antenna for WVIA-FM remained intact, as it is located on the lower section of the shared WVIA-FM-TV tower. The WVIA-TV analog signal on channel 44 was temporarily put off the air until service was restored through a back-up tower on Penobscot Knob[10].
The collapse of WNEP-TV's analog tower also severed power to the transmitters for WYOU-TV and WBRE-TV putting those stations off the air for a time[11].
On June 12, 2009 WNEP was to operate on a new tower which is currently complete, though the antenna had not arrived in a timely fashion. Their goal was to have the new facility operating by August 2009, but it was delayed a few months.[12] On December 5, 2009, WNEP turned off Channel 49 and moved to channel 50. Moving to channel 50 was necessary so it can alleviate possible interference from WWSI which currently operates out of Atlantic City, New Jersey on UHF channel 49.[13]
On February 15, 2010 the channel 49 facility was put back into use by WNEP on a temporary basis with FCC approval to accommodate PBS member station WVIA-TV (Channel 44), which had suffered a partial tower collapse and electrical fire which had destroyed WVIA's transmitter building and the equipment within [14][15].
[edit] Local programming
Many of the programs air on WNEP have been in-house productions rather than syndicated shows. The most popular of these was a children's program called The Land of Hatchy Milatchy. Another program, Uncle Ted's Ghoul School, once employed Bill O'Reilly as a writer. He was also a reporter at the station for a brief period during the mid-1970s. Also during the 1970s, WNEP produced two game shows, Bowling for Dollars and Dialing for Dollars. Unlike the station's newscasts, the game shows were absolute failures considering that they were pitted against other more successful national syndicated primetime games such as Family Feud and Match Game.
Today, WNEP produces two in-house programs: Pennsylvania Outdoor Life, a show about hunting and fishing in Pennsylvania, and Home & Backyard, a show about do-it-yourself home improvements, cooking and gardening. 'Pennsylvania Outdoor Life' airs Sundays at 6:30 p.m. on WNEP and 'Home & Backyard' airs Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. on WNEP. Both of these programs re-air on the "Newswatch 16 Anytime" channel. The station also participates in several local charity events, including the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon and Scranton's annual Santa Parade.
[edit] News operation
[3][4]WNEP's news open.The station is best known for its local newscasts which are among the highest rated in the United States.[16] It runs their newscasts under the branding of Newswatch 16. WNEP has led the ratings in northeastern Pennsylvania for most of the last 30 years and according to Nielsen data attracts more viewers than the other stations in town combined. In 2000, the weekday morning program earned shares between 50 and 60 meaning that 50 to 60% of televisions in the market were tuned to this station. Their on-air personalities are well-known in the area. Chief Meteorologist Tom Clark has been with the station since 1981 and is one of the region's more popular broadcasters. His wife Noreen does forecasts on the weekend newscasts and has been with the station since 1982. Marisa Burke, a native of nearby Danville, has been with the station since 1984 and now solo anchors at noon and co-anchors the weeknight 6 o'clock newscast with Scott Schaffer. Fox requested most of its affiliates to air local news in 1990. To satisfy this, WNEP began producing a nightly 10 o'clock newscast on the area's affiliate WOLF-TV (then channel 38) in 1991. In November 2009, after being unable to reach an agreement with WNEP on a contract extension, WOLF announced its intention to turn to WBRE to produce an hour long 10pm newscast beginning January 1, 2010. WNEP then announced that it would begin a 10:00 p.m. newscast on its sister station WNEP2 on the same date.
Known as Newswatch 16 at 10 on FOX 38, it was the first instance of one station producing a newscast for another.[citation needed] When the FOX affiliation moved from channel 38 to channel 56, the 10 o'clock news switched stations as well. It then became known as FOX 56 News at 10 with a secondary title of Newswatch 16 at 10 on FOX 56. WNEP airs this broadcast from a secondary set at its studios. The station runs a secondary service, known as "WNEP 2" (formerly "Newswatch 16 Anytime" and before that "Newswatch 16 on Adelphia 63"), on its second digital subchannel and area cable systems. This channel currently airs RTV programming along with other local programming. WNEP was the only media outlet in the market to utilize a helicopter, known as "Skycam 16", for news gathering purposes. The helicopter was operational from 1984 until being decommissioned in February 2009.[17] The station airs the Pennsylvania Lottery televised nighttime drawings live seven nights a week and the live Powerball drawing on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
In March 2009, its weekday morning news at 6 added another two hours (7-9 a.m.) seen on WNEP 2. Also in March, the station started up-converting its news programs to 720p wide screen format becoming the first one in the area to make such a change. (As of April 2010, it is still the only station in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre DMA to air local newscasts in widescreen even though it is in merely upconverted 16:9 enhanced definition rather than true high definition.) WNEP announced on August 6, 2009 that they would begin broadcasting a 4:00 p.m. newscast on September 8, known as "Newswatch 16 at 4" which would have Norm Jones solo anchoring along with Tom Clark doing weather.
Since 1994, the station has used an updated version of Al Ham's Move Closer to Your World, which is composed by Cliff Schwarz. From 1981 to 1994, the station used the original theme, which is currently used by ABC affiliates WPVI-TV & WKBW-TV.

(Audio) Small Business Champion Podcast: New Obama Health Care Plan Falls Far Short for Small Businesses
President Obama's latest health-care legislation proposal will do little to bring down the high cost of health insurance. Michael Rogers talks with SBAM's health insurance expert Scott Lyon.

Dan Kildee has announced that he is running for the Democratic nomination for Governor. Ever since the departure of Lt. Gov. John Cherry from the gubernatorial race in early January, potential candidates have been getting in and out of the race.
Kildee is the former Genesee County Treasurer and the nephew of Congressman Dale Kildee. He had been weighing his decision since the Cherry announcement. Kildee's official entry into the race means that the Democratic field of candidates may be set.
The current field includes (since you've probably lost track) Kildee, State Rep. Alma Wheeler Smith and Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero. House Speaker Andy Dillon has a campaign committee, but has not officially announced his candidacy as of yet. However, it is expected that he will also join the fray.
Senate Joins House in Passing Lifetime Benefits Ban
Both the House and Senate have now passed a bill that would end the so-called lifetime health benefits that lawmakers currently receive.
Currently if a lawmaker serves at least six years, they are eligible to receive retiree health benefits when they reach age 55. The passage of HB 4194 would remove that benefit for future legislators, governors and other state elected officials.
The bill was amended in the Senate, so it must go back to the House to concur with the changes. This measure is one of the reforms that Gov. Granholm called for in her State of the State address, so she is expected to sign it when it reaches her desk.
Bouchard Visits SBAM: Talks about Job Creation
This past Wednesday, Oakland County Sheriff and Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Bouchard held a press conference at SBAM's Lansing headquarters. Bouchard presented his plans to make Michigan more competitive and to create jobs.
The press conference also featured SBAM board member David Rhoa. Rhoa spoke of his frustrations with Michigan's business environment when their company was looking to expand, calling it "…at the very least, difficult and at its very worst, openly hostile to business growth and expansion." See the video of Rhoa's presentation.
Bouchard's plan aims to improve the regulatory environment that Michigan businesses must adhere to, change the economic development strategy of the state by helping existing businesses grow and prosper, and to assist start-ups. Specifics include:
Freeze all pending (new) regulatory rules until a review of existing regulations has been completed
Require a detailed cost-benefit analysis of regulatory legislation so the public knows its true fiscal and economic impact should it become law
Mandate that environmental and regulatory standards be based on sound science and reasoning
Streamline and expedite the permitting process, setting clear requirements and timelines that businesses can depend on in their planning
Transform the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) into a state agency subject to state policies and transparency rules
Consolidate 300 pages of economic development laws in the state into a single, coherent Michigan Economic Development Code
Shift resources and funds from helping favored businesses and industries to helping create an environment for many businesses to flourish
Assemble a team of "economic development account executives" that will help businesses cut through red tape and successfully navigate government requirements
Grow jobs quicker by focusing government efforts and incentives on top job creators: startup businesses and Michigan companies that are expanding
Unionization of Business Owners?
This week bills have been introduced in the State Senate that would make clear that day care and home health care providers cannot be forced to join a union.
The bills stem from an issue that has been getting a great deal of state and national media coverage in recent weeks.
In December of 2008, approximately 40,000 in-home day care owners were notified by mail that they were now members of a newly formed union.
Shortly thereafter, the Department of Human Services (DHS) began withholding union dues from the subsidy checks that these day care providers receive from the state. The state provides the subsidy checks to assist low-income parents with the costs of child care. It is estimated that the amount of money being withheld is $3.7 million.
A class action suit was filed on behalf of the day care providers against the DHS in 2009. In December of 2009 the Michigan Court of Appeals dismissed the case. The dismissal is being appealed.
SBAM has been closely following this issue since the court dismissal late last year. The bills introduced in the Senate would make it so that day care and home health care providers (home health care providers have been unionized in other states) could not be forced to join a union. The bills would also dissolve the union that was formed to represent these business owners.
One of the bill sponsors State Senator Nancy Cassis correctly points out that, "Child day care providers and home health care workers are private employers, not public employees. Labeling them as state employees because they receive state aid is outrageous."

We will keep you posted on the progress of these bills.

Perhaps music, more than the art of sound, is the art of time. That's why its communion with space, and architecture, is so often so perfect. When we touch upon this relationship between music and architecture, we're really speaking not of the meeting of two arts, but of two dimensions– and of their respective original forces. The influence of music on space is palpable. We know that a room, and what happens inside it, can be transformed radically by the musical influences applied to it. But this also happens, as David Byrne has noted, in the other direction: spaces, and their purposes, have inspired and influenced schools of musical thought. Sacred music could hardly have existed without the prior existence of cathedrals and monasteries. Punk simply wouldn't sound the same without the chaotic, little London clubs of its era.
behavior, or to re-model the human brain, let's speculate a little on what affect music might have on space–and the depths it can reach.
The German composer, K.H. Stockhausen warned that the space-music relationship is an essential factor in his compositions. During the composition phase, he considered the direction at which sound would travel through space. He found it impossible to dissociate music from physical space, something similar to what happened with Iannis Xenakis, a French-Greek architect who later shined as a musician during the second half of the 20th-century. Spatiality in music, and musicality in architecture, refer to the mathematical essences of both disciplines. The "music of the spheres," as Pythagoras called it: the music generated, at least philosophically, by the displacement of the stars. It's interesting to consider that sound needs space to come to life–that is, as a means to the unleashing of its waves. On the other hand, there's no space, at least not on Earth, that can be fully shielded from the assault of sound. We might then even insist upon following Stockhausen's example and simply admit that one cannot be separate from the other.
Music and architecture meet at a crossroads which, similar to a Zen koan, or the tree which falls in a forest, is perhaps in need of that perceptive ingredient to even exist. That is, they need time, space, and a consciousness which perceives them. So, the next time you listen to music, and you'll do so inevitably within a physical space, remember that you're an equal protagonist in one of the deepest of communions. | {

United fallout: Airline offers compensation, passengers say
By Emanuella Grinberg and Holly Yan, CNN
Published Apr 13, 2017 11:32:25 AM
(CNN) — Two more security officers have been placed on leave and passengers say they are receiving compensation after a United Airlines passenger's violent removal from a flight on Sunday.
Read: Passenger dragged off overbooked United flight
A total of three Chicago Department of Aviation officers are on leave following the incident, which has turned into a publicity nightmare for United. Amid plummeting stocks and boycott threats, newly released footage appears to contradict United CEO Oscar Muñoz's claim that Dr. David Dao's belligerence left officers with no choice but to forcibly remove him.
Meanwhile, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has called for a suspension to the widespread practice of overbooking. Christie's state has a special interest in United's practices because he said the airline controls 70 percent of the flights at Newark Liberty International Airport.
"To have somebody pay for a ticket, reserve a seat, be seated and then dragged off the plane physically by law enforcement officers at the direction of United (Airlines) — it's outrageous," Christie told CNN's "New Day" on Wednesday. "With United, the customer is always last."
United CEO: This 'will never happen again'
Muñoz came under fire for praising employees in a memo shortly after the incident and not issuing an apology to Dao for two days. By Wednesday, his tone had taken a contrite turn.

"That is not who our family at United is. And you saw us at a bad moment," Muñoz told ABC's "Good Morning America" on Wednesday morning.
That bad moment left Dao screaming as he was dragged off an oversold flight Sunday night. Passengers said blood dripped from his mouth after he hit his head on an armrest.
When Muñoz first saw footage of the passenger getting violently yanked off one of his planes, he said one emotion washed over him: shame.
"It's not so much what I thought, it's what I felt. Probably the word 'ashamed' comes to mind," he said in the interview.
The CEO vowed to never again let a law enforcement remove "a booked, paid, seated passenger," from a plane.
He said he has unsuccessfully tried to reach the passenger to apologize directly. He said Dao is not at fault, a change in tune from his initial comments on the matter.
"He can't be. He was a paying passenger sitting on our seat in our aircraft, and no one should be treated like that. Period."
Two passengers on United Airlines flight 3411 told CNN that the airline is reimbursing passengers on the flight. United did not return CNN's request for comment. In an email to CNN affiliate WBBM, a United spokesperson wrote "All customers on flight 3411 from Sunday, April 9 are receiving compensation for the cost of their tickets."
Injured passenger: 'Everything' hurts
Meanwhile, passengers keep coming forward with video and new accounts offering a fuller picture of the altercation.
After passengers had already boarded the plane, United said it needed to clear some seats for four members of another flight crew who needed to get to Louisville.
Dao and his wife initially agreed to get off the plane, passenger Jayse Anspach said. But once they found out that the next flight wasn't until Monday afternoon, he demurred and sat back, saying he was a physician who needed to get to work the next day.
The harder the officers tried to get the man to leave, the harder the man insisted he stay.
"He was very emphatic: 'I can't be late. I'm a doctor. I've got to be there tomorrow,' " Anspach recalled.
Joya and Forest Cummings were sitting behind Dao on the United flight and began recording video after an airline supervisor asked Dao to leave the plane and he refused.
Dao was not belligerent when speaking to the airline officials, the Cummings said. Dao only started to get mildly upset when the second officer came on the plane after he continued to refuse to leave. The Cummingses both said Dao never raised his voice when speaking to the officers and airline officials, and that reports that Dao acted belligerent are simply not true.
The doctor's pleas didn't work. Moments later, he was being dragged down the aisle. At one point, passengers said, Dao hit his head on an armrest. Video shows blood streaming from his mouth.
Dao is recovering in a Chicago hospital, said his lawyer, who is scheduled to give a press conference Thursday.
When asked what his injuries were, Dao said "everything," CNN affiliate WLKY reported.
"The family of Dr. Dao wants the world to know that they are very appreciative of the outpouring of prayers, concern and support they have received," his attorney, Stephen L. Golan, said in a statement.
Yes, this can happen to anyone
The incident repulsed United customers across the country. Some protested by cutting up their United mileage cards.
"My new #united card. Not planning to fly them any more after this," Josh Perfetto tweeted.
United also took a hit on the stock market. Shares in United Airlines slipped by 4 percent Tuesday, and the company's market value plummeted by $1 billion (around ₱49.4 billion).

Anyone can be kicked off an overbooked flight against their will. In 2015 alone, 46,000 customers were involuntarily bumped from flights, according to the Department of Transportation.
Overbooking is legal, and most airlines do it in anticipation of no-shows, the U.S. Department of Transportation said.
If no one volunteers to get off, the airline can select passengers for removal based on criteria such as check-in time or the cost of a ticket, according to the department's Fly-Rights.
It's an often-overlooked policy to which you agree when you book your tickets.
In a letter to U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, Gov. Christie said the practice needs to be suspended.
"Every day passengers are being 'bumped off' flights," Christie wrote.
"Passengers who have paid the fare for their ticket and reserved a seat should not be subject to this arbitrary 'bumping' except in the most extreme of circumstances and certainly not to accommodate employees of United Airlines."
CNN's Deanna Hackney, Alanna Petroff, Jon Ostrower, Justin Lear and Rene Marsh contributed to this report.

Title: Book Preservation for Libraries: A Systematic Approach
Because the papers on which most nineteenth and twentieth century books have been printed lack the strength and stability which are necessary for a reasonable life in either storage or use, libraries are confronted with the complex problem of preserving or otherwise losing large numbers of the older books in their collections. While conservators and scientists have developed effective means for preserving documents or their contents, librarians have failed heretofore to determine any wholly rational approach to the management of book preservation programs.
To devise rational preservation plans, librarians must: (a) assess the physical condition of their collection(s) for the purpose of identifying candidates for preservation; and (b) evaluate candidates for the purpose of selecting documents for preservation. This study was conducted in order to establish objective bases in terms of which such determinations can be made and a systematic approach to book preservation can be detenmined . The results of an experiment which involved a sample of books selected at random from a university library collection indicated that:
(a) age, date of publication, is a generally reliable index of a
book's current physical condition; (b) measures of library use (i.e., rate of circulation and date of last circulation) are not reliable indices of a bookls present physical condition; and (c) the rate at which a book has been circulated corresponds significantly with its date of last circulation, a finding which indicates that recently used books
tend to be titles which have experienced frequent use.
A specific approach to book preservation was established on the basis of experimental data. An analysis of these data suggested that
in order to minimize the user frustration resulting from document deterioration
libraries must actively preserve books which are forty years of age or older and which have been circulated within the five years preceding the evaluation.

Jet.com is nowhere near ready to launch, but this retail startup continues to gather buzz as a threat to Amazon.
Earlier today the WSJ reported that someone is already comparing prices between the two sites. Jet.com may still be in beta and offer a more limited selection (5 million items vs 300 million items on Amazon) but that hasn't stopped data pricing startup Boomerang Commerce from crunching the numbers.
Jet's prices for items ranging from Cuisinart CNGA -27.27% coffee makers to Gain laundry detergent are lower than Amazon 94% percent of the time.
But the research by Boomerang, which was granted early access to Jet.com, does provide a window into how the startup aims to price its products. The study, which looked at 200 products across a handful of categories, found that 188 items sold by both Jet and Amazon were less expensive on the former.
On the whole, Boomerang found that Jet.com was cheaper than Amazon by 27% in its sample. Among goods that are "shipped and sold by Amazon" — those that aren't offered by third-party merchants — Jet was 17% cheaper. It also found that Amazon was 28% less expensive for items offered under its private-label Basics brand than equivalent products on Jet.
While I think it's a little crazy to compare prices in a store which isn't even open yet, this study has me paying close attention. I like low prices as much as the next person, and it looks like the folks behind Jet.com think they can really go toe-to-toe with their much larger competitor.
Jet.com has certainly convinced its investors; the startup has raised $220 million on the best that it can grow a business on a $50 a year shopping club membership while still matching Amazon on price.
I'm not yet convinced that Jet.com's plan to trade discounts in exchange for using debit cards or waiving returns prove practical.
But Jet.com thinks it can pull it off. "Jet is clearly waging a pricing war with Amazon," said Boomerang CEO Guru Hariharan told the WSJ in an interview. "There are some early indications that Jet is leading on price, but there is still good value in Prime," he said.
If Jet.com is going to require both the $50 a year membership and a minimum order for free shipping then Prime, at $99 a year, is the better value. Amazon Prime has no minimum order size for its free shipping option (on a limited number of eligible items, though).
The nice thing about Prime (besides the free digital streaming) is the fact that I can buy a single item and get free shipping. That is a convenience which Jet.com might not be able to match.
Let's see what happens when Jet.com flips the switch.
Amazon's minimum for free shipping is $35, not $25.
Thanks. I must have been looking at someone's old post.
Membership? Deal killer for me. I don't like Costco's, Sams or Prime. As far as I'm concerned they are just attempts to lock me into one place to shop for x, y and z. I am almost always willing to put in the time to shop around and reward: lower price, ease of shopping, low shipping.
I have a Costco membership, but only because it was free. Our sam's club membership lapsed years ago, and we never saw a reason to get one for BJ's.
I'm curious: How is a Jet.com membership fee different from an Amazon Prime Membership fee? I do not mean in services you get in exchange, I mean in the idea of paying for a membership. Seems to me to be a rose by another name.
It depends. You can be an Amazon customer without paying the Prime fee so you can try it and see whether Prime looks attractive. And in some circumstances you can get a free Prime tryout period.
If Jet.com operates like that I'll probably try it. If you have to pay $50 to get in the door, no way.
I just signed on to get a free six-month trial membership when the doors open, supposedly some time in 2015. We'll see.
Let's see, Amazon has micron-thin margins overall, the ability deploy resources among multiple business lines, a structure that has always paid a lot of attention to minimizing operating costs, and what the financial markets believe to be infinitely deep pockets. So that adds up to a lot of vulnerability on pricing, right?
We'll have to see. If Jet.com's investors are willing to pay me to order stuff from them rather than Amazon I'm happy to oblige, but I'm not going to rush to join them in putting my money into Jet.com.
I think they can. They have the money, they have the people, and thy have the hype. I think Jet.com is going to be one of the larger web retailers in about 5 years.
At which point they will be acquired.
People seem to think that Amazon LLC doesn't generate profits because Amazon.com doesn't.
…if you assume Bezos will stand for it.
Most likely, he'll play along as they burn through their funding and once it gets tight, he'll pull in some of the money he uses as in-house venture capital for new initiatives and *then* undercut them. It'll be cheaper to put them out of his misery that way and he won't burn $200 millon that way.
He can easily afford a couple billion.
It'll be interesting to see how far Jet gets.
Nothing new here except that it's Amazon. Surveys repeatedly show Amazon is far from the cheapest.
The whole point of the Prime lock-in, like the Kindle lock-in, to to ensure customers don't have an incentive to shop around and find where the cheaper prices are.
When it comes to ebooks the US retailers largely have a 0.99 minimum list-price, despite which smaller stores like Txtr US, Versent, Inktera and Books-A-Million will often have ebooks cheaper. In the UK Apple, Nook UK and Txtr GB regularly undercut Amazon.
I would be more curious to see a comparison of Costco versus Jet.com.
I am happy to pay the $50/year for Costco, because we use it often for the seasonal fruit in bulk, as well as buying our meat in bulk when there's coupons. Also, if you wear glasses the membership fees are worthwhile for the very cheap glasses/lenses combos (I've paid under $100 for frames and lenses that lasted 3+ years).
I know Jet sees themselves as a Prime competitor, but their model seems more like a competitor to warehouses to me.
It's not just price though. Amazon has fantastic customer service. Some people are willing to pay more because they know Amazon will take care of them. You can see that with how Fba is exploding and, how Fulfilled by Amazon 3rd party merchants can sell items at a higher cost than Merchant fulfilled.
I just got my invite and I'm so underwhelmed by the selection that price isn't a concern. It's hard to buy what they don't have.
I have an invite. Do you think everyone would be interested in a post?
1. After 4 days I received an email that they cancelled the most expensive item on my order – Steam Mop – because the listing was incorrect and they could not find it. Well whose mistake is this? And why should I suffer? PLUS after 4 days when you are expecting that item… Come on Jet.
2. After 6 days I receive an email saying some of the items on my order will be delayed. The email did not have details about what items were those. So Pathetic. Now I will have to wait for the order to find out which item I need to order again from some other seller.
3. After 11 days of my order, I receive another email saying one more item is cancelled because of unavailability. This is not acceptable at all. At least not something you expect from other online sellers – and not in the first order. Pity on you – Jet.
So after this experience, I don't think I am going to trust Jet.com at all for any of my future order. Long live Amazon – Short live Jet.
Oh and did I forget to mention… they issued me a $2 credit for all this non-sense. Feel good now?
I was browsing on Jet and received a magazine subscription from them that I do not want; NOT likely to go there again! | {

State Sen. Nichols collapses in office, dies
State Sen. Andy Nichols, a veteran lawmaker from Tucson who is a leading supporter of public health programs, died yesterday evening after collapsing in his office. He was 64.
Nichols, a University of Arizona faculty member and administrator, had finished a telephone conversation in his third-floor Senate office about 6 p.m. when he put his head down on his desk and then collapsed on the floor, a witness said.
University medical student Pat Sciara said he and another person administered CPR before Phoenix Fire Department paramedics arrived.
Sciara said he was in Phoenix for a lecture and was in Nichols' office to discuss that when the senator collapsed.
"I thought he passed out," Sciara said.
The last Arizona legislator to die in office was Rep. Elise Salinger, D-Phoenix, in 1999. She was found dead in her home of natural causes.
Landfills filling up, recycling needs to increase, studies find
William Rathje, UA's garbage studies project's director for the past 30 years, wants his program that sorted more than 30,000 tons of solid waste to shut down.
He is not yearning to leave his job because his hands are getting dirty from touching solid waste. Besides, "you can't scare an archeologist by saying you are going to touch garbage - they do it all the time," says Rathje, an anthropology professor who is headed to Stanford University to teach archaeology in the fall.
Duncan staying - at least for this weekend
UA right fielder leads Wildcats into three-game series against Cal
Will Shelley Duncan leave Arizona and turn professional after the season? UA head coach Jerry Stitt thinks so.
Duncan himself isn't so sure.
The UA baseball team's junior right fielder leads the nation in home runs with 19 and will be eligible to enter the Major League Baseball Amateur Draft in June.
Unlike the NBA Draft, the MLB draft allows players to test the professional waters and then decide if they want to continue playing college baseball.
Non-lethal weapons OK, but police should have intervened sooner
The Tucson Police Department is reviewing police actions in the April 2 riot on Fourth Avenue.
The mission is to provide a comprehensive review of the police response. In other words, did police go too far in using non-lethal weapons to disperse individuals remaining within eyesight of officers in the area?
The answer is no.
The scene escalated that night to the point where rioting fans forced officers into action.
A whale of a read
UA students, faculty read classic 'Moby Dick' in 24-hour marathon
Generally a marathon commences with the bang of a starter's pistol.
Yesterday's marathon began instead with "Call me Ishmael."
In a tent in front of the Arizona State Museum, a group of University of
Arizona students and faculty began reading aloud from Herman Melville's classic, "Moby Dick."
"The main reason we wanted to do this is that community is very important in the English Department," said Mandy Siegel, an English junior.

La Crosse – Today, U.S. Rep. Ron Kind called on Congressional Leadership to remain in session and work together to find solutions to outstanding, stalled legislation, such as the 2018 Farm Bill. Rep. Kind also called for long-term solutions to the escalating trade war and NAFTA renegotiations.
Farm Bill conference committee Members have been unwilling to compromise on several Titles within the 2018 Farm Bill, resulting in a likely expiration of programs essential to the day-to-day operations of many farmers, workers and ranchers. If the Farm Bill expires without an extension or permanent compromise many programs will be cut, including important conservation, market access and organic title provisions.
A non-extensive list of programs cut or administratively frozen include: Conservation Reserve Program (CRP); Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP); Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP); Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP); Market Access Program (MAP); Seniors Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP); Specialty Crop Block Grant Program (SCBG); Organic Data Initiative (ODI); Outreach and Assistance to Socially Disadvantaged and Veteran Farmers and Ranchers (2501); Farmers Market and Local Food Promotion Program (FMLFPP); Value-Added Producer Grants (VAPG); Organic Agriculture Research and Extension Initiative (OREI); and the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program (BFRDP).
Rep. Ron Kind met with United States Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer yesterday, and warned him of the adverse impact the Administration's policies are having on Wisconsin communities. He also discussed the importance of ensuring that NAFTA renegotiations lead to a trilateral deal with both Canada and Mexico, and impressed upon the Ambassador the importance of ensuring Wisconsin's dairy farmers are not left behind in dairy export pricing negotiations with Canada.
Rep. Kind has introduced bipartisan bills that would take back Congress' power in the application of tariffs, and require the President to seek approval from Congress before imposing tariffs on the basis of national security. The bills are stalled in committee. | {

This shed was built from original materials. It is currently housing a large variety of farm equipment and old tractors. The tractors that you can see in the shed are quite similar to the ones that farmers use today. Most of them are a little rustly and they do not even have rubber tires, but they still look quite the same! Tractors would have been great to have in the 1930s it was alot easier than having to use horses.
This house was built in 1890 and was relocated to the museum recently. The building currently holds a display of old farming machinery. The museum hopes to make a very realistic replica of what a pump shed would have looked like when it was up and running.
In 1915, Napoleon Foubert sent out an order from Eaton's Catalogue to have everything delivered so that he could build his new home. owned by the pioneer settlers Foubert who made their fortune setting up one of the first trading posts. The Foubert Family were quite well off. They were the lucky ones who had electricity, which also meant that they had things that other families living in the rural area would have never even thought of, things such as; an electric stove, electric washing machine, refrigerator and telephone.
This house was originally owned by Amable Foubert and was then purchased by the Grier family. In 1861 the house was rented to Dr. James Fergusson. He used the house not only to live in but also as an office to practise medicine. In 1924 the house was purchased by James Spratt and then moved to the Cumberland Museum in 1977.
The Mainville family owned the property for about fifty years. It was built,circa 1880 using a square log construction. The Mainville house was covered in board and baton in 1986. It has a sloped roof and other architectural features that are typical of French-Canadian construction. The Wilkes family lived in the house for a brief period of time before donating it to the Cumberland Museum in 1982.
This barn is an example of post and beam construction. It was built around 1900 and relocated to the museum site in 1989. It is holding one of the most popular artifacts in the museum, something that all the children who visit the museum are really interested in! Still guessing, an antique schoolbus! It also holds lots fascinating farm machinery that was used when farming corn and wheat.
The Grimes House was then used to house pupils from 1913-1915. I Gerry Grimes purchased it in May of 1980 but left it vacant. Mr. Grimes then kindly donated it to the museum and it was dismantled and relocated to its current location. The Grimes House was always intended to be a print shop and to house other print related artifacts that the museum already had in its possession.
This barn was built circa 1900 and was moved from Taylor Creek, Orleans to the museum in 1989. It was once a drive shed and a woodworking facility for a family farm. A carpenter's woodshop set up with tools and other interesting instruments that would have been used to build some of the housing and other building all around Cumberland. | {

Abstract: Semester after semester professors receive student work that lacks originality, and student ownership of language. Students seem to shy away from questions that might challenge them to think about issues that they are truly interested in. This paper deals directly with ideas and strategies for improving our students' writing. Considering different ways that we might assign writing in the classroom such as high stacks and low stacks writing; in addition, this paper suggests how professors might better use their time to comment on student papers, provides strategies for pre-writing, and proposes alternate ways for professors as teacher scholars to leave students with a lasting impression to aide in the students' writing after their class. Different strategies are discussed in types of assignments, how one approaches writing, and acknowledges some of the benefits and difficulties of college professors at all levels may have with implementing these strategies in their classrooms.

Alexander Friedmann
(Redirected from Alexander Friedman)
This article is about the Russian cosmologist. For the Russian astrophysicist, see Alexei Fridman.
This name uses Eastern Slavic naming customs; the patronymic is Alexandrovich and the family name is Friedmann.
Alexander Alexandrovich Friedmann (also spelled Friedman or Fridman /ˈfriːdmən/; Russian: Алекса́ндр Алекса́ндрович Фри́дман) (June 16 [O.S. 4], 1888 – September 16, 1925) was a Russian and Soviet physicist and mathematician. He is best known for his pioneering theory that the universe was expanding, governed by a set of equations he developed now known as the Friedmann equations.

Alexander Friedmann was born to the composer and ballet dancer Alexander Friedmann (who was a son of a baptized Jewish cantonist) and the pianist Ludmila Ignatievna Voyachek.[1] Friedmann was baptized into the Russian Orthodox Church as an infant, and lived much of his life in Saint Petersburg.
Friedmann obtained his degree from St. Petersburg State University in 1910, and became a lecturer at Saint Petersburg Mining Institute.
From his school days, Friedmann found an inseparable companion in Jacob Tamarkin, who at the end of his career was one of Brown University's most distinguished mathematicians.[2]
World War IEdit
Friedmann fought in World War I on behalf of Imperial Russia, as an army aviator, an instructor and eventually, under the revolutionary regime, as the head of an airplane factory.[3]
ProfessorshipEdit
Friedmann in 1922 introduced the idea of an expanding universe that contained moving matter; Belgian astronomer Georges Lemaître would later independently reach the same conclusion in 1927.[4]
In June 1925 he was given the job of the director of Main Geophysical Observatory in Leningrad. In July 1925 he participated in a record-setting balloon flight, reaching the elevation of 7,400 m (24,300 ft).[5]
WorkEdit
RelativityEdit
Friedmann's 1924 papers, including "Über die Möglichkeit einer Welt mit konstanter negativer Krümmung des Raumes" ("On the possibility of a world with constant negative curvature of space") published by the German physics journal Zeitschrift für Physik (Vol. 21, pp. 326–332), demonstrated that he had command of all three Friedmann models describing positive, zero and negative curvature respectively, a decade before Robertson and Walker published their analysis.
This dynamic cosmological model of general relativity would come to form the standard for both the Big Bang and Steady State theories. Friedmann's work supports both theories equally, so it was not until the detection of the cosmic microwave background radiation that the Steady State theory was abandoned in favor of the current favorite Big Bang paradigm.
The classic solution of the Einstein field equations that describes a homogeneous and isotropic universe is called the Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker metric, or FLRW, after Friedmann, Georges Lemaître, Howard P. Robertson and Arthur Geoffrey Walker, who worked on the problem in 1920s and 30s independently of Friedmann.
Hydrodynamics and meteorologyEdit
In addition to general relativity, Friedmann's interests included hydrodynamics and meteorology.
StudentsEdit
Physicists George Gamow, Vladimir Fock and Lev Vasilievich Keller[5] were among his students.
In 1911, he married Ekaterina Dorofeeva, though he later divorced her. He married Natalia Malinina in 1923. They had a religious wedding ceremony, though both were far from religious.[6]
Friedmann died on September 16, 1925 from misdiagnosed typhoid fever. He had allegedly contracted the bacteria on his way back from his honeymoon in Crimea when he ate an unwashed pear he bought from a railway station.[7]
Named after FriedmannEdit
The moon crater Fridman is named after him.
Alexander Friedmann International SeminarEdit
Alexander Friedmann International Seminar is a periodical scientific event. The objective of the meeting is to promote contacts between scientists working in the field of Relativity, Gravitation and Cosmology and related fields. The First Alexander Friedmann International Seminar on Gravitation and Cosmology devoted to the centenary of his birth took place in 1988.

Located within WHSmith there can be lots of milling around for queues. Then queues interfering with shoppers somewhat, but I'm sure once the change over and staffing is ironed out it will be fine, any solution to keeping post offices on the high street is welcome. There's lots of parking at Sainsbury's so quite convenient.
Most of post office's services available here. Very good.

title: "Getting Elixir to run on my OsX (init terminating in do_boot)"
author: "Marcus Hammarberg"
date: 2015-06-29 08:59:55

I hear more and more about [Elixir](http://elixir-lang.org) from [some](https://twitter.com/DevLCSC) [people](https://twitter.com/jlind) that I really trust and respect. That means checking-out-new-technology-time for Marcus.
Luckily installing Elixir on Os X (Yosemite 10.10, that I'm running) is super simple with [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/):
```bash
brew update
brew install elixir
```
Or is it ...
Not for me as it turns out. I hope you had a better fate. This is my story.
<a name='more'></a>
Becasue when that was all done I ran <code>elixir -v</code> to check my version number and got:
```bash
"{"init terminating in do_boot",{undef,[{elixir,start_cli,[],[]},{init,start_it,1,[]},{init,start_em,1,[]}]}}"
```
In the output from Homebrew I saw just a little warning but nothing that was particularly scary. So I did what every professional programmer does; searched the Internets. And on [GitHub I found this issue](https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/issues/2911) for Elixir, which sounds exactly like that I was looking for.

Ok... it seems like my version of [Erlang](http://www.erlang.org/), since Elixir "leverages the Erlang VM" was out of date.
But when I ran (in all honestly after I've spent ca 45 minutes finding out how to start anything Erlang): <code>erl</code>, to run the Erlang interperator, it looked great:
```bash
Marcus-Bandung-MBP:~ marcus$ erl
Erlang R15B02 (erts-5.9.2) [source] [smp:4:4] [async-threads:0] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false]
Eshell V5.9.2 (abort with ^G)
1>
```
Erlang is doing great. Hmmm... Could it be a old version of Erlang? Erlang is also installed with Homebrew, so I tried to install it again and hopefully update it: <code>brew install erlang</code>. Now it got interesting:
```bash
Marcus-Bandung-MBP:~ marcus$ brew install erlang
Warning: erlang-17.5 already installed, it's just not linked
```
# Yak-shaving: Homebrew
Installing a package with Homebrew consists of several step: download, install and linking (I think). One of the steps has failed. This was the little warning I got when I installed Elixir as I mentioned above.
Luckily you can <code>link</code> a package after it's been downloaded. For example <code>brew link erlang</code>, or to force it <code> brew link --overwrite erlang</code>.
```bash
Marcus-Bandung-MBP:~ marcus$ brew link --overwrite erlang
Linking /usr/local/Cellar/erlang/17.5...
Error: Could not symlink lib/erlang/Install
/usr/local/lib/erlang is not writable.
```
And do not try <code>sudo</code> in front of it. Homebrew doesn't think that's a good idea and tells you with a hilarious error message...
But what did it say? <code>/usr/local/lib/erlang is not writable.</code> Maybe I can help it?
# Yak-shaving: Os X
Ha! Writable my aXX! I can fix that: <code>sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/local/lib/erlang</code>.
Sadly that didn't help much. The linking command from above (<code> brew link --overwrite erlang</code>), still failed with the same error (<code>/usr/local/lib/erlang is not writable</code>).
And the folder, and sub-folders (the <code>-R</code>-switch), was indeed writable.
# Yak = shaved clean
What to do? Well, out of a whiff I just tried: <code>brew reinstall erlang</code> again. And it worked.
When you do a <code>brew reinstall</code> the old installation is removed first. This basically just <code>uninstall</code> and then directly <code>install</code> a formula.
My thinking is that I had, for some reason, an older version of Erlang installed. Maybe even failed install. When Homebrew tried to install a new version of Erlang it failed, since the folders was not writable. When I made them writable the <code>reinstall</code> worked.
# Conclusion
Just for good measures I actually did a <code>brew reinstall elixir</code> too. Just to make sure that the dependencies was in good order.
After that I could start coding Elixir. This is the full extent of my Elixir knowledge. Strap in:
```bash
Marcus-Bandung-MBP:~ marcus$ elixir -v
Elixir 1.0.4
Marcus-Bandung-MBP:~ marcus$ iex
Erlang/OTP 17 [erts-6.4] [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [async-threads:10] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false] [dtrace]
Interactive Elixir (1.0.4) - press Ctrl+C to exit (type h() ENTER for help)
iex(1)> 4+4
8
```
Yeah. This tool looks amazing!
Thanks to the [Stockholm Elixir Slack-group](https://stockholm-elixir.slack.com/messages/elixir/) that listen to me while I hammered away to fix this. | {

A Debugger.Script instance may refer to a sequence of bytecode in the debuggee or to a block of WebAssembly code. For the former, it is the Debugger API's presentation of a JSAPI JSScript object. The two cases are distinguished by their format property being "js" or "wasm".
For Debugger.Script instances referring to a JSScript, they are distinguished by their format property being "js".
The body of a function—that is, all the code in the function that is not contained within some nested function.
The code passed to a single call to eval, excluding the bodies of any functions that code defines.
The contents of a <script> element.
The Debugger interface constructs Debugger.Script objects as scripts of debuggee code are uncovered by the debugger: via the onNewScript handler method; via Debugger.Frame's script properties; via the functionScript method of Debugger.Object instances; and so on. For a given Debugger instance, SpiderMonkey constructs exactly one Debugger.Script instance for each underlying script object; debugger code can add its own properties to a script object and expect to find them later, use == to decide whether two expressions refer to the same script, and so on.
A Debugger.Script instance is a strong reference to a JSScript object; it protects the script it refers to from being garbage collected.
Note that SpiderMonkey may use the same Debugger.Script instances for equivalent functions or evaluated code—that is, scripts representing the same source code, at the same position in the same source file, evaluated in the same lexical environment.
For Debugger.Script instances referring to a block of WebAssembly code, they are distinguished by their format property being "wasm".
Currently only entire modules evaluated via new WebAssembly.Module are represented.
Debugger.Script objects for WebAssembly are uncovered via onNewScript when a new WebAssembly module is instantiated and via the findScripts method on Debugger instances. SpiderMonkey constructs exactly one Debugger.Script for each underlying WebAssembly module per Debugger instance.
A Debugger.Script instance is a strong reference to the underlying WebAssembly module; it protects the module it refers to from being garbage collected.
Please note at the time of this writing, support for WebAssembly is very preliminary. Many properties and methods below throw.
For descriptions of properties and methods below, if the behavior of the property or method differs between the instance referring to a JSScript or to a block of WebAssembly code, the text will be split into two sections, headed by "if the instance refers to a JSScript" and "if the instance refers to WebAssembly code", respectively. If the behavior does not differ, no such emphasized headings will appear.
True if this instance refers to a JSScript for a function defined with a function* expression or statement. False otherwise.
True if this instance refers to a JSScript for an async function, defined with an async function expression or statement. False otherwise.
If the instance refers to a JSScript, this is the script's display name, if it has one. If the script has no display name — for example, if it is a top-level eval script — this is undefined.
If the script's function has a given name, its display name is the same as its function's given name.
If the instance refers to WebAssembly code, throw a TypeError.
If the instance refers to a JSScript, the filename or URL from which this script's code was loaded. For scripts created by eval or the Function constructor, this may be a synthesized filename, starting with a valid URL and followed by information tracking how the code was introduced into the system; the entire string is not a valid URL. For Function.prototype's script, this is null. If this Debugger.Script's source property is non-null, then this is equal to source.url.
If the instance refers to a JSScript, the number of the line at which this script's code starts, within the file or document named by url.
If the instance refers to a JSScript, the number of lines this script's code occupies, within the file or document named by url.
If the instance refers to a JSScript, the Debugger.Source instance representing the source code from which this script was produced. This is null if the source code was not retained.
If the instance refers to WebAssembly code, the Debugger.Source instance representing the serialized text format of the WebAssembly code.
If the instance refers to a JSScript, the character within the Debugger.Source instance given by source at which this script's code starts; zero-based. If this is a function's script, this is the index of the start of the function token in the source code.
If the instance refers to a JSScript, the length, in characters, of this script's code within the Debugger.Source instance given by source.
If the instance refers to a JSScript, a Debugger.Object instance referring to the global object in whose scope this script runs. The result refers to the global directly, not via a wrapper or a WindowProxy ("outer window", in Firefox).
If the instance refers to a JSScript, "js".
If the instance refers to WebAssembly code, "wasm".
The functions described below may only be called with a this value referring to a Debugger.Script instance; they may not be used as methods of other kinds of objects.
If the instance refers to a JSScript, return an arrayL describing the relationship between bytecode instruction offsets and source code positions in this script.L is sparse, and indexed by source line number. If a source line numberline has no code, thenL has noline property. If there is code forline, then L[line] is an array of offsets of byte code instructions that are entry points to that line.
// It's hip to be square.
and the fourth line begins at offset 10.
If the instance refers to a JSScript, return an array describing the relationship between bytecode instruction offsets and source code positions in this script. Unlike getAllOffsets(), which returns all offsets that are entry points for each line, getAllColumnOffsets() returns all offsets that are entry points for each (line, column) pair.
If the instance refers to a JSScript, return an array of bytecode instruction offsets representing the entry points to source lineline. If the script contains no executable code at that line, the array returned is empty.
isEntryPoint: true if the offset is a column entry point, as would be reported by getAllColumnOffsets(); otherwise false.
lineNumber: the line number of the current opcode.
columnNumber: the column number of the current opcode.
offset: the bytecode instruction offset of the current opcode.
count: the number of times the current opcode got executed.
If this script has no coverage, or if it is not instrumented, then this function will return null. To ensure that the debuggee is instrumented, the flag Debugger.collectCoverageInfo should be set to true.
If the instance refers to a JSScript, return a new array whose elements are Debugger.Script objects for each function in this script. Only direct children are included; nested children can be reached by walking the tree.
If the instance refers to a JSScript, set a breakpoint at the bytecode instruction atoffset in this script, reporting hits to the hit method ofhandler. Ifoffset is not a valid offset in this script, throw an error.
When execution reaches the given instruction, SpiderMonkey calls the hit method ofhandler, passing a Debugger.Frame instance representing the currently executing stack frame. The hit method's return value should be a resumption value, determining how execution should continue.
Any number of breakpoints may be set at a single location; when control reaches that point, SpiderMonkey calls their handlers in an unspecified order.
Any number of breakpoints may use the samehandler object.
Breakpoint handler method calls are cross-compartment, intra-thread calls: the call takes place in the same thread that hit the breakpoint, and in the compartment containing the handler function (typically the debugger's compartment).
The new breakpoint belongs to the Debugger instance to which this script belongs. Disabling the Debugger instance disables this breakpoint; and removing a global from the Debugger instance's set of debuggees clears all the breakpoints belonging to that Debugger instance in that global's scripts.
If the instance refers to a JSScript, return an array containing the handler objects for all the breakpoints set atoffset in this script. Ifoffset is omitted, return the handlers of all breakpoints set anywhere in this script. Ifoffset is present, but not a valid offset in this script, throw an error.
If the instance refers to a JSScript, remove all breakpoints set in this Debugger instance that usehandler as their handler. Ifoffset is given, remove only those breakpoints set atoffset that usehandler; ifoffset is not a valid offset in this script, throw an error.
Note that, if breakpoints using other handler objects are set at the same location(s) ashandler, they remain in place.
If the instance refers to a JSScript, remove all breakpoints set in this script. Ifoffset is present, remove all breakpoints set at that offset in this script; ifoffset is not a valid bytecode offset in this script, throw an error.
If the instance refers to a JSScript, this is true if this offset falls within the scope of a try block, and false otherwise. | {

THE ZING OF IRISH SPRING OR THE LOVE OF GENTLE DOVE?
The simple bar soap of yesterday has been washed down the drain. Today there are as many varieties of soap as there are types of personalities. Irish Spring and Dove are two of the many examples that are on the "opposite ends of the shelf". They differ not only by their sensory and physical characteristics, but also by the people who use them and how they are sold.
Irish Spring and Dove contrast in their smell, texture and physical appearance. Irish Spring has a strong smell. It dominates the air, and the scent of a fresh bar will shoot like an arrow through the rest of the house. Entering the bathroom, one is likely to crinkle his nose in defense as the smell blasts like a rocket into the sensors of the nares. The powerful smell gives you a feeling of energy and life. Its effect can be compared to the "wide awake" feeling one gets when sniffing smelling salts. As the name implies, the scent of Irish Spring reminds us of a vital, budding, fresh spring day in Ireland. Dove, on the other hand, has a gentle smell. The aroma hovers like a halo above the bar and, compared to the penetrating zap of Irish Spring, its featherlight whiffs of scent float peacefully through the air. This soap also reminds us of a delicate floral bouquet; washing with it can make you feel as dreamy as Dorothy did in the field of poppies. The suds of Irish Spring feel foamy and frothy like the whitecaps on a wave while the lather of Dove feels full and creamy like the breast of a lovebird. In appearance, Irish Spring is a sea green colour with splashes of white darting across it. The top is lean and curved like the torso of an athlete, the edges are squared, and the words "IRISH SPRING" are branded across its back in bold letters. In contrast, the pure white tone of Dove is not blemished by any other colour. The bar is oval shaped and is curved like the arch of a woman's back. Dove is inscribed on the upper side and the symbol of a dove is etched in for detail.
The characteristic of strength in Irish Spring entices men, while the characteristic of gentleness in Dove attracts women. The stereotypical man wants to feel definite, vital and lively. The vigour and manliness that this soap breeds will help him feel this way. This deodorant soap will give him the "kick" he needs to play a good game of rugby, the determination he needs to "sweat" out a business deal, and the confidence he needs to ask her to marry him! In contrast to this, the "traditional" woman wants to feel flowing, feminine, and fertile. Dove gives birth to fantasies filled with fields of flowers, fearless knights, and fat smiling babies. In another way, these two soaps differ because it is more common for a woman to choose Irish Spring than for a man to choose Dove. "Frankly yes, but I like it too" is a statement that makes it easy to imagine a headstrong, active young woman sudsing up with Irish Spring whereas, even in these days of equality, it is difficult to picture a man willingly soaping up with Dove unless his wife does the shopping or he is showering at his mother's house. Lastly, these soaps differ in how they are used. A man would grab Irish Spring and, raising each arm above his head, he would scrub vigorously with a sanding-like motion. Along with this you might hear him sing like a baritone or pour forth a full throated "Laaaaa" like Pavarotti. In contrast, a woman using Dove would cream up the soap; relaxing in the tub she would slowly sooth the emollient over her shoulders. Humming softly to oneself is usually the only effect that Dove has on one's vocal cords.
Studying their boxes, their price differences, and their commercials on T.V., one notices how varied Dove and Irish Spring are in their advertising features. Irish Spring is sold in a black box with a splash of colour like a rainbow arched across it. Specifically the rainbow colours are red, orange, yellow, and green; the first three remind us of spring sunshine, and the last one of a freshly mowed lawn. Blue, indigo, and violet, the "winter" colours, are omitted from the box. "Irish Spring" is printed in square letters slanted to the right indicating zesty movement and speed; the letters dominate the middle of the box in their bold green colour. The words "rich lather", "fresh", and "clean" are printed for your information; and "Manly Deodorant Soap" is the description you are given. These individual black boxes are usually sold in groups of two or three with an outer packaging holding them together. The outer packaging is crackly, crinkly plastic that is clear on the sides, and black on the front. In contrast, Dove is sold in white boxes with no lettering on them. Like Irish Spring, two or three boxes are sold together; however, all the writing is on the outer packaging. Rather than plastic, the packaging is made of shiny paper which is half baby blue and half white for the white bar, and half pink and half white for the rose coloured bar. A gold curvy ribbon like the sash of a little girl's dress sweeps across the box dividing the white side and the coloured side. "Dove" is inscribed in graceful, white calligraphy lettering and a deep blue or pink accent behind gives it depth. Suspended above the name is a gold dove enhanced with a silver and white outline. We are told that this soap is one quarter moisturizing cream, and the words "beauty bar" let us know what we are buying. There is a thirty cent price difference between Dove and Irish Spring; Irish Spring has the more "down to earth" price of $1.19, and Dove has the loftier price of $1.49. On T.V., the Irish Spring commercials differ from the Dove commercials in a number of ways. A man is the dominant figure in the Irish Spring commercial, whereas a woman is the main character in Dove; the man is showering in a rustic, wooden outdoor shower, while the woman, who is also outdoors, is bathing in a porcelain bathtub supported on gold lion's feet. Finally the wooden shower is planted in the surroundings of a spring garden with sprouting trees in the background, while the porcelain tub is placed on a cultured lawn and has a white dove hovering above it.

The kind of food you eat affects the condition of your overall health and wellbeing.If you are not eating the right foods, you are selling your body short. by correcting your eating habits, you will allow your body to work much more efficiently. It is more important to know what to avoid than what to eat. For example, if you are a person with low stomach acid you should avoid foods, such as meat, which will require more acid to be digested.Even if you are taking enough nutritional supplementation to enhance your functions, the results depend on how thoroughly the supplements are digested, and how well the absorbed nutrients reach your cells. You must then, eat the foods and take the supplements that enhance digestion and absorption based on your body type. Often the primary reason why for instance hair loss or Obesity tends to run in the family are because of similar dietary and lifestyle patters that family members share and not necessarily because of genetic factors. We are proud to announce that nutritional evaluation is now available here both online and at the office. During your evaluation Dr. Reza will determine your personalized dietary plan based on your unique metabolic typing in order to improve your health and wellbeing. Unfortunately, the modern medical profession as a whole is entrenched in the belief that diet is unimportant, it is a sad truth that the vast majority of practicing physicians and surgeons have either never heard of the benefits of good nutrition, or have disregarded it or have remained so pathetically ignorant of what is required that they neither teach nor apply the principles of good diet to their suffering patients despite the fact that Hippocrates the father of modern medicine over two thousand years ago stated that no healing could be truly successful without attention being paid to what the patient was eating. Instead, the conventional doctor blunders on, with newer and more dangerous drugs, always ready with the scalpel or chemo, spurred on by more and more obscure laboratory 'investigations' until the patient is lost in a welter of science.our genes, which dictate so much of our health also control our food tolerances. A food which is right for one person may be disastrous in the metabolic pathways of another, The important point is not why it happens; the critical element is that it can happen with any food, any individual and Avoiding these foods is the key to a long and healthy life. . certain foods are found to enhance or suppress the action of genes, some of which are protective and some of which may be very harmful. That means you can regulate your own genes by what you eat, helping them or blocking them. There is no logic in the search for a universally healthy diet and those authors who proclaim they have one are misleading you. Forget pre-determined diet. each and every one of us has to discover his or her own customized and safe diet.
Eating what you shouldn't do far more harm than not eating what you should. This is the opposite of parental nagging, which says things like "Eat your greens," and "You need the calcium in milk for strong bones and teeth. No matter how important the food, or "essential" it is for your well being, if you eat such a toxic food you will be ill. These toxic or incompatible foods are different for everyone. Thus there can be no one size-fits-all diet. Diets do not really work by giving you "good" foods, but by taking you off the bad foods.
What is actually happening during this procedure?
Dr. Reza's diet plan is derived from many other evaluation systems such as Chinese medicine, ayurvedic medicine, and even western medicine, based on his method there are 4 different types, he named them type 1, 2, 3, and 4. everyone who gets tested will be one of these 4. once he determines your type which will usually take between 1-2 hours of testing, he will provide you with a list of bad foods you should avoid eating as well as list of beneficial foods you get the most benefit eating. The procedures to determine one's type is consist of questioners in regards to a person's mental, physical, emotional and social states of being, We begin the test by taking a set of initial measurements as follows: measurements of oral cavity PH level, measurements of Adrenalin hormone secretion and efficiency , measurements of calcium level releasing to tissue, measurements of Hydrochloric acid and digestive enzyme level releasing to stomach , measurements of Body Mass Index, Body Fat, Visceral Fat, and Skeletal muscle. also doing Abdominal palpation to identify a specific organ and tissue inflammation and weakness. after finding out your metabolic type and providing you with your customized diet in most cases by following his diets plan in less than a month, most patients will see great improvements. | {

My third DB challenge and what a surprise! An Apple Strudel. Always wanted to make it but never had the guts ;) That's also what Daring Bakers are - they challenge you to get out of the comfort zone, but if you need them - they are there for you, to advise, reccomend, help and also admire your finished work (doesn't matter if it was horrible, effort is the most important thing!).
It's à la Chinese style as I believe that if a Chinese person/chef/or anyone who is actually interested in Chinese cuisine see that... they will tell me that this has nothing to do with real Chinese food. It's only my interpretation. So please look at it with a bit of 'reserve' ;) I like real Chinese food, the one I'm getting from a chef who knows how and what to do. Sometimes I want something similar, with a bit of that unusual taste... and that's when I prepare dish like this. It's very quick and simple, just remember to have everything chopped/diced and ready before you start frying.
So we are starting The Daring Cooks. I'm so happy that besides baking we know have challenges regarding cooking. The first one was Gnocchi, not the ordinary one but from home made ricotta. The recipe has been chosen from the cookbook by Judy Rodgers "The Zuni Café Cookbook" - Zuni Ricotta Gnocchi.
I couldn't wait to make this recipe as I LOVE gnocchi but I have never made my own... I always thought that gnocchi are made mainly from potatoes but... in this recipe they are substituted by ricotta which is a great idea! This shows that with Daring Kitchen we not only bake/cook but learn new skills and recipes. I've made my own ricotta (the recipe for ricotta was posted on the 21st April). It was way cheaper than buying ricotta and was SO easy! I will definitely make ricotta more often. I served my gnocchi with sun dried tomato, green olives and mascarpone sauce. I had some more gnocchi left for the next day - they were fried - yummy!
It was a pure coincidence that I've made this dish... I saw those beautiful, big mushrooms and just had to buy them! I love goat's cheese so I decided to combine both. The result was great! It's very easy and quick dish. I could even say that basically no cooking is involved - as you just have to slice, cut everything, arrange together and put into the oven - done! I used a tomato and courgette to make it rich and to add extra taste, but I would say you can add any vegetables you actually have in your fridge. Also an egg and oil of olives will be handy ;) It will be great as a starter (one mushroom will be plenty) or as a main dish served with a selection of bread.
I've missed this kind of food... As I had lots of Silesian dumplings (recipe published on the 4th May 09) I thought I'll just make a dinner from my childhood. It's what we call traditional, Silesian, Sunday dinner. I had to adjust my version a little though. The roulades should be from beef not chicken and you should make the sauce yourself - from the meat juice which remains after cooking the roulades. It was a real 'time machine', almost like home. Hope you will make it someday and try it for yourself :) It's not difficult but it's a little time consuming. Roulades like that can be a great idea for a party dinner (of course if you don't have to many guests) and you just need a good sauce and some salad to accompany them.
Use meat tenderiser and flatten the chicken breasts. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over the chicken, put thinly sliced garlic and 1 bacon rash on each breast. On one end of each breast put few bits of onion and cucumber. Roll the chicken tightly. Wrap each breast into slice of bacon. Take a theread or thin string and 'tie' the roulades - or they will disintegrade when frying. Fry for about 25 min. - don't forget to get rid of the string before serving! ;) Cook the dumplings and make the sauce as per instructions (or make your own). On the plate arrange dumplings, roulade and red cabbage. Pour the sauce over the meat and Silesian dumplings. Serve immediately.
Those are my favourite! As I'm from that part of Poland (actually from the very capital of Silesia - Katowice) those dumplings are no stranger to me ;) They are part of Silesian, traditional Sunday dinner which consists of: dumplings, red cabbage and roulades (stuffed with sausage, some pickles, onion) with a gravy. Oh, how I miss those family dinners... I don't make those dumplings very often, as I prefer to make them once in a time, but a huge amount of it and just freeze portions ready to be cooked. The recipe isn't complicated and I highly recommend to try them. They are great with some savoury meat sauce, mushroom sauce or goulash.
Yesterday, after a huge dinner (Stuffed Cannelloni) my Hubby 'demanded' the dessert... I was surprised he had a place...! So to not make the same mistake twice I made a dessert today :) Altogether I had 4 portions - so we can have it 2 days in a row. It's simple, delicious, but you have to make it in 'stages'. Trust me - the end result is so worth your effort.
Another dish from my chicken... We had already 3 dinners from that 'little fella' and I have still a breast and 2 legs in the freezer! That's what I call budgeting in the kitchen :) especially know when we have 'recession' all around us... Back to the vegetable soup. Remember that broth from yesterday? We had so much of it, that my Hubby decided to make a vegetable soup. He took the broth and added some frozen cauliflower and broccoli. It's easy, cheap and what's the most important thing - delicious :) I had it with toasted roll and I also put some cream into it... yum! | {

It is estimated that around 25 percent of US population has a tattoo at some part of their body. And eventually, around 50 percent of them have made a decision to have a laser tattoo removal. Well, there is great news for all those who have unwanted body design. Newer techniques used for laser tattoo removal can help in eliminating your tattoo with the least side effects. This is working by breaking the pigment colors of tattoo through its high intensity light beam. The black tattoo pigment is absorbing all wavelengths, which makes it the easiest to remove. Other colors however can be treated only by selected lasers.
But because of the reason that every tattoo design is unique, the techniques to remove it has to be tailored to fit every person. Back in the past, tattoos can be removed via wide variety of methods but most of the time, scars were a lot more unsightly to see compared to the tattoo itself.
Patients who have treated tattoos previously can be a good candidate for the laser therapy. Tattoos that haven't been removed effectively by other treatments or via home remedies can respond well to the laser therapy providing that the prior treatments didn't result in excessive scarring.
You need to be sure that you find a cosmetic surgery center or dermatologist who is reputable to be sure of proper care and treatment to have the tattoo remove. And if possible, you have to get recommendation from family doctor for a skin surgery center or dermatologist that is specializing in tattoo removal.
Depending on the size and the color of your tattoo, it will affect the number of treatments you should have. There is a possibility that the tattoo may be removed in less than 2 to 4 visits but there are instances where it can take 10 sessions or more. You ought to schedule for a consultation during which time the professional can evaluate your situation and advise you on what process to use. Treatment with laser is going to vary from one patient to the next, depending on his or her size, age as well as type of tattoo whether it is done by a pro or an amateur. The color of the skin of the patient and depth to which the tattoo pigment extended are other factors that will affect the removal technique.
When you undergo a laser tattoo removal, you can expect to have protected eye shields, the reaction of skin to laser is tested in order to determine the energy most effective for the treatment, the treatment itself requires placing hand piece towards the skin's surface and activate the laser light, smaller tattoos are requiring lesser pulses while bigger ones need more and right after the treatment, ice packed is applied in an effort to soothe the area treated. | {

From This High Up, He Said, People Look Like Ants
By Richard Cox
Viewed from an altitude of 37,000 feet, the Earth looks a lot different than our everyday experience.
The majestic Rockies are a bumpy patch of acne. Mighty rivers look like static, crooked lines. Teeming cities become their smoggy, Google Earth counterparts.
We build our lives in these places, we take vacations to them, we photograph them in order to precisely relive their beauty at a later time. We make clear distinctions between desolate, flat farmland and the beauty of California, where mountains meet the sea.
But from high above, the differences between these places are blurred.
The place where I work is made up of several buildings that surround a courtyard. There is a pond in the courtyard and a small, man-made waterfall. There are trees and grass. And there is a also network of sidewalks in this courtyard that shuffles us workers between buildings.
On one particular sidewalk, there is a place where ants cross from one plot of grass to another. I often stop to watch the ants speed down their narrow highway, wondering where they are going with such single-minded conviction. Sometimes traffic increases, and their roads widen. Sometimes I find them in the process of dismantling a dead wasp, breaking it into pieces and carrying it back to their hidden home.
Occasionally misfortune befalls the highway, and the ants are forced to clean up a group of their suddenly-dead brothers.
Imagine what an ant-produced television news segment might be like:
"Yet another giant footstep kills hundreds on I-280! Field reporter Buggy Buggerson interviews surviving worker ants tonight at 10!"
To ants, an average rainstorm is like Hurricane Katrina. Thousands wash away. Hundreds drown.
Every time a kid knocks down one of their carefully constructed hills, the ants lose their homes and are forced to rebuild.
Your average drainage ditch is the Grand Canyon.
But size isn't the only difference between humans and ants. We're also a bit smarter than them. Right?
I mean, we can calculate the orbits of planets and the relationship between speed and time, but we still go around killing each other for money. Or turf. We strap on diapers and shit ourselves during cross-country drives to murder rival astronaut girlfriends.
Is it a blessing or a curse that our minds, powerful as they may be, are so influenced by emotion?
To a biologist, emotions are governed by mappable, electrochemical processes. They can be altered chemically or physically. I can trigger a release of dopamine by drinking alcohol. Doctors prescribe all sorts of drugs that influence (for better or worse) the brain's delicate chemical balance.
If emotions are so easily influenced by mechanical processes, how should we define them? Are they really as special as we like to believe?
Admittedly, thinking of the world this way–from a purely mechanical point of view–is not very romantic. But that doesn't mean it isn't accurate. Romance itself is an emotion, in fact, a filter through which we interpret the world.
And yet these are the brains we have. How would we interpret the world except through these emotionally-charged minds?
Just because we humans imagine the universe in a certain way, just because we like to impart meaning on inanimate objects and places, just because we look for patterns in events that might ultimately be random, it doesn't mean it is necessarily the only way or even the best way.
How do we know someone or something isn't watching us like we watch ants, observing our human struggles with a sort of amused detachment and maybe a little pity…pity that our understanding of the world is so limited?
I wonder if we would better off knowing more or knowing less? If it turns out the universe is meaningless, if it really is nothing more than a soup of matter and energy brewing in spacetime, would you like to know exactly how it works? Or would you rather be oblivious, a worker trudging back and forth on the ant highway, day after day, blindly working toward a goal that will never become clear to you?
When you die, does it matter at all?
Does it matter even now?
For the moment I leave these questions to you. I'll be chasing a little white ball around a plot of grass for the next few days.

Aloha & Happy Friday! I love the weekends, time to relax & spend time with Chris. This outfit is a little something I wore a couple of days ago.
My top was a great find in the New Look sale, just £4.00! I teamed it with some simple leggings & my beautiful Zara Kimono.
I added a boho vibe with my handmade Cross Necklace. I love easy to wear outfits that still look quite unique & help to show off my favourite kind of styles.
I spent the afternoon creating some beautiful pieces for Honu Moku.
I love working with Cowrie Shells & precious gems.
My favourite make of the day is this Rose Quartz Wire Wrapped Cuff. This will be available soon at Honu Moku.
I have many more designs coming your way so watch out for those!
I also have some pretty Starfish Anklets for sale soon. This one has been specially made for a girl at work, I love it!
I hope you have all had a lovely week & enjoy your weekend my pretties!
Thank you, I love kimono's sooooo much!
Love the kimono look I'm hooked on kimonos as well! The fringe ones are the most rare but stylish ones!
Yes Friday does look fine. Would look better if my sites were not down and my hosting unresponsive and my ability to move them temporarily blocked. But all will be well by morning I hope and there is an Ulta shopping trip with my friend and there will be tea and good times. Looking forward to tomorrow. Great outfit, btw!
that is such a beautiful kimono! love it! | {

Elon Musk Declared War on Apple: Twitter Can be Removed From the App Store
Ece Nagihan Send an email 29 November 2022
After buying Twitter, Elon Musk's radical decisions about the platform drew quite a reaction. Now, Musk's target is Apple. But why did Musk declare war on Apple?
Elon Musk, who received the reaction of both users and advertisers on Twitter with all kinds of decisions he made after purchasing Twitter, does not seem to have much intention to take a step back. The goal of the billionaire, who wants to make Twitter the "application of everything" that makes money, is Apple this time.
Apple has mostly stopped advertising on Twitter. Do they hate free speech in America?
Elon Musk set Apple on target with his tweets a few hours ago, and the process started to progress exactly at this point. Musk claimed that Apple has largely stopped advertising on Twitter. At the same time, for Apple, "Do they hate freedom of speech in America?" he asked, tagging Apple CEO Tim Cook, "What's going on?" He continued his tweets.
Musk then asked, "Who else did Apple censor?" "Apple should publish all censorship actions that affect its customers." He created a survey titled "censorship" and accused the tech giant as a "censor".
"Apple threatened to remove Twitter from App Store"
Apple has also threatened to withhold Twitter from its App Store, but won't tell us why
After these tweets, Elon Musk made another very interesting and worrying post. According to Musk, Apple threatened to remove Twitter from the App Store, but did not give any reason behind this threat.
Did you know Apple puts a secret 30% tax on everything you buy through their App Store? https://t.co/LGkPZ4EYcz
Musk, on the other hand, underlined that Apple receives a 30 percent "hidden tax" from any purchase or financial transaction made from within any application in the App Store.
Can Musk win his fight with Apple?
While Apple produces only 16% of smartphones worldwide, according to Gartner, it dominates more than half of the US market. Apple's dominance over its own app store has been challenged by lawsuits and global regulators lately, but still, Apple effectively controls a large part of the mobile app industry.
Not only does Apple take a 30% cut from subscription revenues for many apps, it also enforces its own content control policies, which apps must adhere to if they want to stay in the store.
Therefore, the share of truth and rightness in Musk's statements is actually strong. However, it may not turn out well for social media as Twitter gets into a fight with Apple in this difficult period and is in danger of being removed from the App Store.
On the other hand, Twitter Blue subscription service is $ 8 per month and Musk does not want to give 30 percent of this fee to Apple, this is clear. Therefore, Twitter and Musk have another option in front of them. That is, it will be able to offer Twitter Blue from the website with a redirect, not from within the application. As you know, Netflix also uses this application.
Elon Musk Can Produce His Own Smartphone

6 reasons why you should enter business awards
Over the years we have worked and build brands through working on awards or nominating clients who went on to win awards. Their initial skepticism of being firstly a) worthy and b) if it was even worth the effort was always puzzling. However, each of them went on strength to strength to gain business and acclaim internationally. Having recently worked the Essex TV Awards and with the Fashions Finest Britain's Top Designer Award coming up we thought we would cover the importance of entering awards.
London, England. 19 February 2017. Fashions Finest celebrates the fifth anniversary of the competition, "Britain's Top Designer". John Herrera, an innovative designer of Filipino heritage took the title. Featured in photo © Peter Hogan
Where ever you are on your business journey, just starting off or further along and no matter the size there are business/industry awards out there you can enter. The variety of awards can range from local to national industry-based or within a specific criterion. To find awards opportunities check with your local chamber of commerce, local and business press or simply search the internet.
Some awards may come with monetary prizes or other benefits like coaching, advice, workshops or further opportunity attached. Regardless it's not all about winning!
Stretched resources often mean awards nominations are not always the top of the agenda. Here are six reasons why entering an award could be good for your business.
1.Free pr and marketing
Awards are frequently overlooked in your marketing arsenal. Being shortlisted can improve brand awareness and promote your business to new customers. Maximise PR exposure and update your marketing materials with the award logo including business cards, website, literature, email, and sales material. Share and celebrate the award resulting from your hard work and success and utilise great PR opportunities. Being recognised is great so it's important to make sure that people know your achievement. Winning an award can open doors to getting contracts, finding new supply channels and breaking into new markets.
2.Benchmarking against peers
The application process for entering a business award often makes you look at your business from a different perspective and compare yourself to your competitors. Ensure that you stand out from the competition either through strategic thinking, innovation, diversity, growth, customer service or investment in people.This will identify processes and areas for improvement and is one way of benefiting your business regardless of winning the prize.
3.More credibility
An award win, shortlisting or nomination provides a 3rd party endorsement for your business and can signify a seal of approval and quality for potential customers. Your relationships with suppliers may also benefit. An award helps to differentiate your company from competitors in a positive way.
4.Improved Employee Motivation
Awards nomination and wins also reflect the hard work and achievements of your employees so win so, in turn, can boost staff morale and motivation.
It can focus staff attention on what's great about the company they work for and instill pride in their work and the company. Leverage this opportunity by making giving your employees the recognition they deserve with a celebratory meeting, dinner or other activity to share the victory. Employees could be invited to the awards ceremony or dinner which can bond the team closer, yield networking opportunities and also be a great night out.
5.Attract talent
Business awards validate you as a great company to work for. This can attract the talent you need to propel your business forward. Don't forget your motivated existing workforce will also enforce this notion.
6.An opportunity to treat clients and partners and attract new business
Awards are the best way to showcase the calibre of your work. Awards are the perfect backdrop for bonding with partners or customers. Winning or being a finalist improves client retention, and your clients will be chatting with their friends about how great you are. Word of mouth and personal recommendations are still the most influential factor in the buying process.

dreams have no age limits!
I discovered this quote on my Facebook page this evening…well, guess it is early morning! Oh my goodness…it is 12:42AM~ Oh well. This is a great thought to begin your day with! Retiring from teaching after 36 years was so difficult a transition…I am not quite down transitioning yet! LOL In any case, I think if we do not have a purpose, then we must create one! And this quote just seems to go with that idea perfectly! So, forge ahead! You young people who think life has already passed you by—no! Never! Live your dream! Go for it! Give it all you have and don't ever give up!
Even when the days get so dark and you think you have no one—you have yourself! You are your own best friend and there is no one else who can be there for you who will know exactly what you need than yourself! Yes, others are important in our lives—they teach us to how to BE…they love us…they give us their friendship…but in the end, YOU have to be for YOU! And, there is nothing wrong with that! You are in God's LOVE—however, you imagine Her to BE! You are loved and you have a breath…you have air to breathe…you have life to share.
YOU are IMPORTANT! Believe in yourself and never hurt yourself…because we would miss you! We need your LOVE CRYSTAL in our lives! Believe me…please! You have so much beauty and warmth…we need all the LOVE CRYSTALS we can gather! The world needs YOU! Yes, I mean YOU!
Just remember, ALWAYS give it one more try! Don't give up…just give in to love….and know YOU are LOVE….and YOU live in LOVE…and we need LOVE CRYSTALS in this world! There is so much suffering—give joy to yourself…and share it with the next person! YOU are so important!
And you people who are my ancient age, hey, YOU have a lot of life in you…you are still breathing, aren't you? I can tell you from my own experience of retiring unexpectedly—how weird it was! The day after I retired, inevitably one of my three daughters would call me or visit me and say, "Are you alright, Mom? Do you need something? What are you doing, Mom?" Well, I was still breathing…lol…and I could *not* believe that in 24 hours time they were ready to write up my obituary! I have plenty of life remaining in me…and I have decided that I am NO LONGER RETIRED!
I am on a quest! I feel like the Madam Don Quixote—I find myself examining my moral principles and beliefs…my preconceptions about things…and misconceptions…and whether I should follow the chivalric code! Sometimes I even question my sanity! However, since our country seems to have reverted to the feudalism of the Middle Ages, I may as well go along for the journey. I have a strange liking for Robin Hood as of late, especially when I think of the 1% and how their egos are so inflated they cannot see how they got to where they are–they have forgotten the peasants who did the labor! I see our politicians as the Medieval Kings and Princes — who seem to pass laws that protect their assets, but do little to serve the general interests of the population! We certainly need a new Round Table with chivalrous knights! 26,000 sexual assaults took place in the USA Military last year!—wow—speak about reverting to a time when women were only important for one thing! My, how civilized we have become!
I am striving to live as a minimalist, and realize I have a distance to travel to achieve that goal. In addition to that, I decided I am going to write and write and write! I will write and be heard until the world leaders listen to us and take their job to represent US seriously! US = America…USA. I will write until world leaders everywhere listen to their people and stop using us to kill each other! I will write until people begin to see how guns are violent and how those manufacturers do not really care about your safety—they care only to fill their pockets with blood money.
I will write, and hopefully, you will join me, until every young girl and woman, knows it is her right to be respected and not used for sexual favors…that she has the right not to be raped! I will write until every homeless person has a home to live in. I will write so that the mentally challenged are given a chance to be understood.
I will write until every child is respected as a human being and is not seen as someone who has no human rights…I will write until each child is seen as a gift and not a piece of property to be ordered around! I will write until every gay, lesbian, transgender, bisexual person is respected as a true human being deserving to live like everyone else does! This is particularly on my mind this evening because I just read about a young man, 32 year old Mark Carson, was walking down the street in New York City last Friday evening when a man came up to him and his friends, yelled "f—ot" and "queer," and shot him in the head. WHY are we killing each other? WHY?
I will write until everyone sees that it does not matter which faith we believe in…it does not matter if someone thinks or believes in a different God or no God—what matters is that we love each other and keep love alive in this world!
Thus, this is my new purpose in life…to write for those who cannot write…to speak for those who cannot speak!
I will keep writing for hope, for beauty, for truth, for honesty, for love…because we have to do this! If we do not do it, who will? We have to write to give people courage and hope and tell them there is beauty in this world…and we do care about them…each and every one!
And, to be perfectly honest, I need a purpose! Everyone does! And we can help each other in this! Encourage one another and keep those love crystals passing to one another!
This entry was posted in musings, Nonfiction Article, Personal Reflection and tagged Don't give-up!, Human, Purpose in Life.
We will write until the world is a bit of a better place. Share Love!
thank you, Patty! Yes…we have to keep writing…and YOU are leading us!
How blessed to know one's Center and Purpose. Each day affords new opportunities for Being.
Beautiful and Inspiring thoughts." To write for those who cannot write…to speak for those who cannot speak! "…When I feel down,I should come back and read what u write here.
What passion! Write on – Sister! You've found your purpose.
To have a goal in life keeps you busy!!
Yes…"busy" in a good way!
I applaud you for this – write to educate, write to spread the word, write to inspire, write to bring awareness, write for yourself and write for those you can't.
I feel like you are my sister…YOU are such an inspiration to me! You are so courageous and brave to live your life!
we all are courageous, my friend. Some of us are louder than others and some do amazing things when nobody watches.
Some of us write and some of us inspire just by being themselves.
beautiful quote and amazing blog post Jane. its never too late to become what we wanted to be!
I have always loved that saying, from the very first time I ever heard it.
You are an inspiration! Let us all shine our hearts and love into the world and in so doing we will bring healing. | {

Thomas and Friends , 28th December 2015
Summary published: 2nd February 2016
Complaint:
Three viewers complained that a character in an episode of the children's program broadcast on ABC2 inappropriately referred to chickenpox as a mild disease that is nothing to worry about. The viewers also expressed concern that the episode conveyed an anti-vaccination message.
Complaint Finding Status: Resolved
Audience and Consumer Affairs response:
The ABC advised complainants that the program was produced in the United Kingdom, where vaccination against chickenpox is not compulsory. The episode was produced with the intention to deliver a humorous story about a hypochondriac train jumping to the wrong conclusions, and was in no way intended to make a statement about vaccinations. However, as the character's statement did not align with the Australian Government Department of Health's Immunise Australia Program, the ABC decided that the episode was not suitable to air on ABC Kids and undertook not to broadcast it in the future.
Complaints finalised January 2016.

Q: Django messages not showing in my html template I am trying show success message after objects delete from my list view page. here is my code:
#this is the delete view
class DeleteNoti(DeleteView):
model = Notifications
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
data = super().get_context_data(**kwargs)
data['messages'] = messages.add_message(self.request, messages.INFO, 'Notification deleted')
return data
success_url = reverse_lazy('notifications:notify')
This is my html page where I am listing my all objects and added delete functionality:
#using this for showing success message
{% if messages %}
<ul class="messages">
{% for message in messages %}
<div class="alert alert-success" role="alert">
<li{% if message.tags %} class="{{ message.tags }}"{% endif %}>{{ message }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</div>
</ul>
{% endif %}
#this code deleting my objects but I am not seeing any message after successful delete.
<form method="POST" action="{%url 'notifications:delete-noti' i.pk%}"> {% csrf_token %} <button type="submit" class="ml-2 mb-1 close" data-dismiss="toast" aria-label="Close"></form>
A: In case you make a POST or DELETE request to a DeleteView, it will not render the template, but simply return a redirect.
You thus should override the .delete(…) method, and add the message if the super().delete() call does not return an error:
class DeleteNoti(DeleteView):
model = Notifications
success_url = reverse_lazy('notifications:notify')
def delete(self, *args, **kwargs):
response = super().delete(*args, **kwargs)
messages.add_message(self.request, messages.INFO, 'Notification deleted')
return response

Tilly Losch was an established dancer and actress, she was titled the 'Countess of Carnarvon.' Danced in many children's parts in all repertory ballets and Operas. She studied her dancing at the Vienna Imperial Opera ballet school at the age of six. Tilly became a full member of the ballet corps at the unusually young age of fifteen. She also studied modern dance with Grete Wiesenthal and Mary Wigman.
Tilly made her professional debut in Vienna Waltzes and her first dramatic role was in 'Leonce and Lena' at Vienna's Burg theater. Her first solo appearance was at the Opern Theatre in Vienna in the 5/9/1924 ballet 'Schlagobers,' and by the time she was twenty was one of Vienna's most popular dancers. Made her London debut with 'This Year of Grace' in 1928.
Plays and movies. Also danced with Fred Astaire but she was never the exhibitionist, she was always shy, on-stage and off. Tilly's first marriage ended in divorce due to numerous infidelities on her part.
Following a bout of depression, Tilly discontinued her dancing career, but soon felt the need for expression in another artistic medium. Having first tried her hand at watercolors, she began to paint seriously. The first one-person exhibition of her paintings, held at New York's Bignou Gallery in the spring of 1944. Tilly's second marriage was to the son of the world famous discoverer of King Tutankhamen's tomb, Earl of Carnarvon and almost overnight became Lady Carnarvon, an English Countess.
While in New York in 1975 She died from cancer. | {
