Alex looks at The Wire again four years later, because he couldn't wait the customary five.
It has been accepted as fact that we are currently living in a golden age of television. Nobody really talks about Dallas anymore, except to say that if that J.Lo movie version ever gets made, it is surely going to suck. The past decade has seen a number of shows that have been called some of the best television ever produced, and if you ask somebody what their favourite television show is, there are more recent options than ever before that won't instantly make you think, "This is a person who probably thinks LMFAO is interesting and vital." That there is probably only one acceptable pre-HBO choice left shows how massive the medium's overhaul has been. But if you ask somebody what they think the best show that has ever aired on television is, there are two answers: either the person you're talking to says "It's obviously The Wire," or they say something else, because they haven't watched The Wire.
Since its series finale in March 2008, people tend to watch The Wire like they have a limited amount of time to finish it before their DVDs spontaneously combust. I haven't been to a movie theatre in three and a half weeks and it's all McNulty's fault. Similarly, I haven't shaved since the day before I started watching The Wire for the third time a few Sundays ago. I have a beard now, and it is purely because in the time it takes to shave, I can watch a Bunny Colvin monologue instead. The first time I watched the show in 2008, it dominated my life in a way few other media products have. I would wake up, watch a few episodes, and go to work at a video store where I would recommend The Wire to any customer that would listen. Then I would go home and watch some more, or I would play some video games with a fellow fan while we debated Tommy Carcetti's law enforcement platform. I didn't have the internet, and I didn't have cable. Sometimes I would go out with friends, but I would always spend most of that time trying to talk to somebody about The Wire. These were more or less the only activities I partook in for a month, and judging by how often James has been texting me lines as he watches the show for the first time now, this is still the way the show is consumed by most people.
It has become clear to me that, as a result of the obsessive style of consumption The Wire seems to demand, I have possibly spent more of my adult life discussing The Wire than anything else. If you find out that somebody you are talking to has seen the show in its entirety, it becomes clear pretty much instantly that this conversation will go on for at least the length of time it takes to watch an episode of the series. While there are some aspects of the show everybody enjoys (Omar and Stringer Bell, mostly), there is so much in the show to like that invariably somebody will say something new. One might say they hate Brother Mouzone because of how unrealistic he feels, or perhaps somebody will say they like that character because it is one of the few times the show's writers actively acknowledges that what they've produced is fiction. Maybe this person likes to posit a theory about how J.D. Williams and Reg E. Cathey's pre-Wire roles in Pootie Tang have something to do with fellow awkward abbreviation fan Louis CK's rise to prominence. And while most people who love The Wire do so because it is remarkably entertaining and manages to keep the viewer engaged pretty much constantly, the most common aspect to bring up is how the show always feels important.
One can't read or talk about the show without discussing the elements of realism present in the show, or a feeling of import that generally comes with something that is both realistic, about social issues, and really fucking good. In a discussion with writer Nick Hornby, The Wire creator David Simon described that, "While [the producers] hope the show is entertaining enough, none of us think of ourselves as providing entertainment. The impulse is, again, either journalistic or literary." In that same discussion, Simon also likens his show to Greek myths, which seems to be something David Simon does in most discussions. "We're stealing from an earlier, less-traveled construct – the Greeks – lifting our thematic stance wholesale from Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides to create doomed and fated protagonists who confront a rigged game with their own mortality. […] But instead of the old gods, The Wire is a Greek tragedy in which the postmodern institutions are the Olympian forces." Every character on The Wire is a product of seemingly immovable institutions, institutions that trap citizens and systematically continue Baltimore's cycle of despair… Michel Foucault would have loved this shit.
Simon's background as a journalist is certainly present in the show, as is the police background of his creative partner Ed "not the guy from The Brothers McMullan" Burns. Simon says of the writing in the show that, "I'm the kind of person who, when I'm writing, cares above all about whether the people I'm writing about will recognize themselves. I'm not thinking about the general reader. My greatest fear is that the people in the world I'm writing about will read it and say, 'Nah, there's nothing there.'" This quote more or less sums up the attempted feel of the show: perceived realism and basis in fact, as the show goes to great lengths to use what would be deemed authentic slang and that the police department reacts to a murder in a way that an actual police department would act. However, the show is obviously fiction. Chris Partlow doesn't exist, as proven by the fact that Gbenga Akinnagbe appears to be possibly the happiest, most non-terrifying person ever interviewed. Omar can't even whistle; a middle-aged woman did it in post-production. Former Baltimore Sun journalist and Wire writer William F. Zorzi has written that, "Story was always paramount, and that meant that no storyline was ever twisted or bent in order to squeeze in a 'real' character. If anything, it was the other way around." While the show was meticulously researched and more often than not based around true stories and figures in Baltimore crime history, The Wire compressed somewhere between 40-50 years of stories into 60 episodes of scripted television; the line is blurred, but as Zorzi states, the story always mattered most. Fact was even changed in order to give a character a happier ending than their real life counterpart; the confidential informant that Bubbles is based on died of AIDS in 1992, as opposed to defeating his struggles with addiction in season five. Your favourite moment on The Wire was probably somehow based in reality, but it was still fiction.
Everybody has their favourite season of the show, with seasons three and four being the consensus favourites, and The Wire's version of a "John Lennon vs. Paul McCartney" debate. If you like When I'm Sixty Four a lot, your favourite season of The Wire is probably the fourth, because you are a more emotional person who might cry while watching Ty Pennington build a house. Season three of The Wire, on the other hand, is the most abstractly polemic and interesting of the show, kind of like John Lennon rage fucking a stranger after Richard Nixon was re-elected in 1972. The drug free zone, or Hamsterdam, set up by discouraged Baltimore po-lice Major Bunny Colvin represents the difficulty one faces when trying to change the world they are in, a theme that continues throughout pretty much every plot line of the season. From Stringer Bell trying to move Avon away from his war with Marlo toward real estate, to McNulty's vocalized confusion of "What the fuck did I do?" becoming a more internal dialogue of "What the fuck am I doing?" pretty much everything in the season is about the difficulty one faces when they try to make enact sizeable change. Hamsterdam shows this pursuit on a larger scale, furthering the show's point that the war on drugs is doing more harm to society than good. And despite being the second most ludicrous thing the show ever did, the reason viewers bought into the idea of the free zone was because the arguments always seemed kind of sound. We know nobody would actually attempt to create Hamsterdam in real life, but Simon and company make it seem like something that maybe somebody should try. Season four is a remarkably interesting, ballsy and emotionally compelling entry into the show as well, but its more literal examination of the problems in the school system make it slightly less interesting (albeit debatably more engaging).
Contrasting this, while being adored by some, the second season of The Wire has been one of the more poorly received seasons of the show. The reason a lot of people don't like the second season is because, when first watching the show, you don't know that each season is going to be drastically different than what preceded it. When season two begins, you have no idea who the fuck this Frank Sobotka guy is, or why that Greek guy with the tiny coffee cup wears such ridiculous hats, nor do you know why any of this matters… at this point, you still thought you were watching a cop show. The people that do really like season two tend to be television critics and more writer-y type viewers, people who appreciate choices that go against the grain of what television writing is supposed to be. (If you're talking to somebody who really liked Young Adult, chances are they like season two of The Wire as well.) On the second time through the show, most people like the season on the docks more, precisely because they're now prepared for the sizeable shift the show makes after Avon Barksdale gets locked up. (This also prepares viewers for the similar change that occurs with the focus shifting to the kids while McNulty essentially disappears in the fourth season.) However, no matter who you ask, chances are that any given viewer thinks season five is one of the low points of The Wire's run.
The most ridiculous thing The Wire did is clearly McNulty's creation of the red ribbon serial killer. The writing staff's decision to have him choke dead homeless people in order to obtain funding is rarely classified as anything less than "Robocop 3 bad." But what makes season five interesting is that it seems to be the most removed from the rest of the series; while the first four seasons are ostensibly saying, "This is a reflection of a modern reality," the fifth is saying, "This is how bad things could get in the near future if these things continue." In the first episode of the season, Major Carver addresses his Western District officers and explains that the promises Mayor Carcetti has made throughout the department are going to be delayed for unforeseen circumstances*, Carver's cops generally lose their shit and start screaming like an angry mob. Carver whispers to somebody that if the municipal government doesn't get their shit together soon the department could lose these officers' dedication for good. What season five then proceeds to depict in the police department is what could happen in the future if institutions continue to fail who they are supposedly meant to serve. By pairing this with the newspaper industry, which is at its lowest point and debatably on its way to death, The Wire contrasts the police department with an institution where these cutbacks are killing it, and implying that in the future perhaps the only way to do real police work will be to fabricate a serial killer to generate funding. "It seems absurd, but it will only seem crazy until it actually happens," the show is saying. This is why Lester Freamon had to be in on the deal with McNulty. The show couldn't depict its alcoholic, self-loathing, loose cannon character as the sole creator of the scheme; they had to use the most logical, best detective Baltimore has to illustrate that this type of institutional failure can influence any kind of person to act irrationally. Season five is probably still the worst season of the show**, but being the worst aspect of something that is almost always described as "the best" isn't such a bad thing to be.
*The school system has a sizeable debt.
**It should also be noted that The Wire has been watched by a comparatively small audience, and that the people who have seen it tend to be more affluent and media-savvy. We see the world of the Baltimore Sun depicted almost as a caricature, because we know more about that environment than anything else depicted in The Wire's run, and it becomes less interesting and loses some of the aura of realism as a result.
Like picking a favourite season, the discussion of favourite characters always comes up, as it will with any television show featuring more characters than god damn War & Peace. Universally, the two characters everybody gravitates to are Omar and Stringer Bell, because Omar is the badass we all wish we could be, and Stringer because Idris Elba might be the most charismatic motherfucker ever born. This is understandable, and it's difficult to argue for anybody else as a favourite. While I love Kima Greggs' voice and disposition more than anybody, even I know I get more excited when String is yelling at an assistant for taking minutes on a "criminal fucking conspiracy." But one of the best things about The Wire is that its most enjoyable characters aren't its most interesting characters. This is a difficult distinction to make, for myriad reasons. Stringer never had a chance to be the most interesting character, because the show continued for two seasons after he was killed, and we met so many new characters between his swan song and the show's. And Omar, while having his distinctive code of morals, is a little too far removed from what the show is trying to convey, too far away from the system, to really be that interesting. Throughout the course of the show, the two most interesting characters are Bodie Broadus and Ellis Carver, something that was clear to me when I first finished the series in 2008, and only remains true as I rewatched it in 2012.
The point the writers of The Wire are trying to get at only becomes clear toward the end of the series' run, although some of the more explicit hints at it come in the fourth season. We are watching a cycle in a city's life, which is why the show goes to great lengths to make sure we recognize that all of the younger, minor characters are newer incarnations of McNulty and Omar as the show ends. We see Detective Sydnor become McNulty, Dukie becomes Bubbles, Michael turns into a less charismatic and less gay version of Omar, etc, etc. But with Bodie and Carver, we see two characters that are dramatically different when their arcs end as they were when the show begins, and characters that represent the whole arc of the show itself. Bodie, after the murder of Lil' Kevin, becomes as fed up with the corner boy lifestyle as I was with watching Lil' Kevin's rub his hands together all the fucking time, and Bodie seems ready to take the stand against Marlo, Chris Partlow and Snoop Pearson for the murders that took place in the vacants. Of course, as we learn continually throughout The Wire, you can never break the cycle, and Bodie is soon killed.
Within the police department, Carver goes through a similar transformation over the course of the show. In season one, him and Herc are corrupt morons, taking money from a raid for themselves, and generally believing that the "Western district way" is the proper method of fighting the war on drugs. As the show continues, we never see Herc evolve from the self-centred, arrogant and generally loathsome person that he is at the beginning, and as the show ends he is appropriately vilified by way of brisket. As Carver's arc continues, however, we see him go from being a slightly better person than Herc to some combination of Cedric Daniels and Bunny Colvin, the two characters who are probably the most moral human beings for the duration of the show's run*. Since we are smart television viewers, we are learning about this world as the show progresses. And since Bodie and Carver are smart television characters, they learn about it, too. People often go to great lengths to say The Wire is a show about a city; in a DVD special feature, Clark Johnson says his favourite character is Baltimore. It kind of is, but it's more about the life cycle of a city, which is told in various cycles, and the only way to really relate to the show is through its characters. We will presumably live through a variety of cycles in our lives, so the characters that have the most plausible and full arcs have to be the most interesting to us for the show's ideology to really mean anything.
*I know Daniels did that shit in the Eastern district back in the day, but in Baltimore from 2002 to 2008, he was a pretty classy dude, with a voice/strut combination that would make the heroes of most Westerns jealous.
I somehow ended up working a contract job within the justice system for eight months in 2009, editing non-pertinent information about orgies out of otherwise pertinent wiretaps, and maintaining the courtroom technology throughout a major murder trial. I was basically Prez, except I never blinded a kid and I'm not very good at solving puzzles. I spent my time talking to a variety of cops and lawyers; I became friends with a Kima, a Maurice Levy who looked kind of like the villainous painting in Ghostbusters II, and I ran away from my version of Judge Phalen once because I was unsure of whether or not making eye contact with a judge constituted a mistrial. Shit, every day I handed headphones to men who murdered half as many people as Chris Partlow. I didn't learn much I didn't suspect before taking the job; I was grossly overpaid for doing fairly little, many of the defence lawyers were slimy assholes, and when I made a sound argument for changing one fairly small technological aspect of the process, I was repeatedly shut down without reason (to my endless frustration). However, it seems entirely possible that I would still be working there today if they had found a permanent position for me. The job was so simple, easy, and well paying that none of those things really bothered me. I was the problem, but the real problem was that nobody would ever really do anything about that.
If there is one thing The Wire does value, it is an individual working outside of an institution. As the series finale's final montage shows, we will always fail if we are relying on an institution, but we can still succeed outside of it. At the end of the show, characters like Bubbles and McNulty find a type of happy ending: Bubbles overcomes his addiction and inability to talk about Sherrod in public, and McNulty begins to mend his problems with the loveable Beadie Russell, presumably to re-attain the happiness he found in season four. The Wire seems cynical, which it kind of is, but it is actually kind of optimistic, possibly more optimistic than many of its writers realize. One only has to look within the medium of television for proof: the rise in great, inventive, new styles of television is fairly recent, all things considered. This is a medium that has been in existence for over half a century that has undergone a considerable change. What David Simon and his crew represent is the spirit of McNulty; doing it within an established institution, but managing to be unique, interesting, and really fucking entertaining. And while the series might have existed on a channel with a smaller viewership than a network like ABC, its influence is widespread. Parks & Recreation is basically a comedic version of The Wire, and even iCarly parodied Snoop's death. Simon might explicitly have been trying to convey the difficult nature of operating within an established system, but what his show implicitly got across is that it is possible to change something from within an institution. It's not easy to do so, but if one really looks around, things aren't as bleak as they might initially seem. There are interesting, vital voices out there, ones so worth hearing that people will temporarily retire from doing much of anything in order to consume them.
And now I'm going to pour a Jameson's and shave my beard. I'll be listening to another podcast about The Wire, but then I'm done. I'll probably wake up and think about David Simon a little bit tomorrow as I clean up my pile of DVDs, but I assume that once I begin watching a new television show, I will have moved on. I'll probably just start thinking about Don Draper and trade in the Jameson's for an Old Fashioned. I would imagine I'll watch The Wire again some day, and I'll surely think about it when I get pissed off about poor institutional decision-making. But when I think of The Wire, it will always make me think about the possibilities of a medium I grew up thinking was far less interesting than film. In making The Wire, David Simon wanted to show how terrible institutions are – which he did – but he also showed that there is hope. He might not have helped to change his real city's landscape, but his show is the best example of how television redefined what it can accomplish. And if the only tangible effects it has made is to get some of the show's actors to start social programs or make a documentary about teenage homelessness, The Wire has helped television be taken even more seriously. Perhaps its ideas will be one day more accepted, but for now, its mere existence is still a good start.

Model British Rail Open Second carriage
Model railway carriage, Gauge 1, British Rail Mark II Second Class Open Carriage, blue and grey livery, sectioned, in perspex case.
This sectioned model shows the interior of a British Rail Mark II Second Class Open Carriage.
British Rail Mark II coaches were the second design of coaches under the nationalised railway service. The BR Modernisation Plan had promised to make passenger comfort a priority on its new carriages, and prototypes to replace the Mark I's had been in development as early as 1955. It was not until 1964 that the new Mark II carriages entered production.
BR wanted the carriages to look modern, and to continue to look so even as their working life wore on. This model shows the interior of the carriage, which could seat 64 people in both smoking and non-smoking compartments.

Determination is a word we all admire.
There is something we like about people
Who just keep getting up.
In the midst of adversity and difficulty
They keep going forward.
We are either up or getting up.
What does this mean? We are determined to do well.
Determined to get back up.
Determined to overcome adversity.
Determined to keep on keeping on.
There is something special about steadfastness.
The forward consistent progress of a determined person.
It encourages us all.
That determined person may not win the race.
They may not come in first in a contest.
But we know they will get there!
They will get there. They are determined! They will make it.
Inspirational! Not the gifted person. Not the talented person.
But The Determined Person!
So what are you waiting for "Take Action if you are a Determined Person".

A lawyer defending a man convicted of burglary tried this creative appeal: "My client merely inserted his arm into the window and removed a few trifling articles. His arm is not himself, and I fail to see how you can punish the whole individual for an offense committed by his limb."
"Well put," the judge replied. "Using your logic, I sentence the defendant's arm to one year's imprisonment. He can accompany it or not, as he chooses." The gavel hit the bench with a thud.
The defendant smiled. With his lawyer's assistance, he detached his artificial limb, laid it on the table, and walked out.
How do you settle disputes? What do you do when your right is violated?
Some years ago, a sweet "how-we-met" story was printed on the newspaper:
Dear Ann Lander: A woman said at the end of World War II, she sat behind a soldier in church. He knew all the lyrics to the songs so she figured he couldn't be all bad. Later, she learned he was a doctor. Three months later, she slipped and fell on an icy walk and injured her arm. That same doctor insisted she stay in the infirmary, and he visited her twice a day. When she was discharged, he asked her to the movies to celebrate. They subsequently married in the same chapel where they had met.
Here's how that same story would go if it happened [today]: Last week, I attended church services and noticed that the soldier sitting behind me knew all the words to every song. I figured anyone who knew those lyrics was probably a member of the religious right. I bumped into him a month later. After cussing him out and telling him to watch where he was going, I learned he was a doctor. Three months later, I slipped on an icy walk and injured my arm. After suing the property owner for all I could get, this same doctor treated me and insisted that I stay in the infirmary. He then made twice daily visits to see how I was doing, which made me suspicious. I complained to his supervisor and filed a sexual harassment suit. I was discharged in January, and the doctor asked if I would like to see a movie to celebrate. I told the police he was a stalker and applied for a restraining order. When the doctor asked me to marry him in the same chapel where we first met, I called the FBI. They searched his apartment to make sure there were no shrines built to me and no bodies hidden under the floorboards. I married the guy anyway because, after all, doctors earn six-figure incomes. -- [signed] Tuned in and Turned on in La Jolla, Calif.
That letter may be a little extreme, but would you agree that something tragic has happened in our land, and that something has to do with human relationships? We're less trusting, more suspicious, fearful of opening ourselves to others. Some of us have no truly close friends. We're isolated and alone. We wall ourselves into gated communities and worse yet, we don't even know the other people behind those walls, much less people outside. We come to church every week, but nobody knows us!
A team headed by a Harvard social scientist tracked the lives of 7,000 people over nine years. Here's what they found. People with the fewest personal relationships were three times more likely to die than those with strong relational connections. Three times! In fact, people with bad health habits such as smoking, poor eating habits, obesity, or alcohol use, but who had strong social ties lived significantly longer than people who had great health habits but were isolated. It seems like it is better to eat Twinkies with good friends than to eat broccoli alone. (John Ortberg, "Everybody's Normal Until You Get to Know Them" Grand Rapids, Mi: Zondervan, 2003).
RELATIONSHIPS ARE IMPORTANT. You need to believe that or you cannot appreciate Jesus' words for today. Last week I sit with the parents of Christopher Brown, a 25 year old young man who was killed in a car crash in Galveston on Labor Day. His parents, Pete and Brenda recalled a long story of their relationship with their son. In fact, every time I sit down with a family to prepare for a funeral, I always hear stories of relationships, of how much they missed their loved ones. How much they missed the times they were together.
Relationships matter. It is important for us to carefully listen to Jesus' words: "If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over."
This is a most interesting teaching. It begins, "If your brother sins against you . . ." This doesn't mean your brother in a literal sense though it could. People in one family suppose to love and care for and about one another. But my guess is that there is someone in this church who hasn't spoken to at least one member of their family for years.
But Jesus is not just talking about our biological brothers or sisters. He is talking about brothers and sisters within the church community. He is talking about you and me and Sarah, and Tom, and Katie, and Jack, and Bill . . . Jesus also would have us interpret "brother" as anyone with whom we have a strong personal relationship. If someone you care about hurts you, make an attempt to heal the relationship as quickly as possible even if you are not at fault.
It would be great if everyone who was estranged from a brother or sister or friend or co-worker or spouse would pick up a phone and make an appointment to sit down with that person to iron out their difficulties! I sound like a dreamer! Feelings of betrayal, anger, hurt, bitterness, and resentment can sometimes overwhelm. If you think this is an easy teaching by our Lord, you have never had anyone hurt you.
Once upon a time, two brothers who lived on adjoining farms fell into conflict. It was the first serious rift in their 40 years of working together. It began with a small misunderstanding, and grew into a major difference, and finally exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence.
One morning, there was a knock on John's door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter's toolbox. "I'm looking for a few days' work," he said. "Perhaps you would have a few small jobs here and there that I could help with?
Yes," said the older brother. "I do have a job for you. Look across the creek at that farm. That's my younger brother! Last week, there was a meadow between us, but he took his bulldozer and dug a small river between us. Well I'm going to do him one better. See that pile of old lumber? I want you to build an 8 foot high fence between us. Then I won't need to see his place or his face anymore."
The carpenter said, "Show me the nails and the tools, and I'll do a good job for you."
The older brother had to go to town, so he left for the day. At sunset, when he returned, his eyes opened wide, and his jaw dropped. There was no fence there at all. The carpenter had built a bridge that stretched from one side of the river to the other, with handrails and all!
And his younger brother was coming toward them, his hand outstretched. "You're quite the guy," he said, "after all I've said and done."
The two brothers met in the middle, and shook each other's hand. They turned to see the carpenter leaving. "No, wait! Stay a few days. I've a lot of other projects for you," said the older brother.
"I'd love to," the carpenter said, "but I have many more bridges to build."
When you and I come to the end of our days, God will not ask how many fences we made, but He will ask how many bridges we built. And St. Paul firmly teaches: "Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another."

Author: Nick Harris, ISBN: 9781910505243, Hardcover, Published in 2017, 224 pages
This eye-catching book tells the story of World Championship motorcycle racing over the past 25 years and the role in it of DORNA, the international sports management and marketing group. Spain-based DORNA became involved in motorcycle racing in 1992 and set about stabilising the ailing World Championship, which had run since 1949, and introducing a new era of direction and harmony, and of sporting and commercial success. The effect of DORNA's efforts is abundantly apparent in the present-day stature of MotoGP throughout the world. This book tells the entire story - of the racing itself and the DORNA backdrop to it - of those 25 years in a lively style that will appeal not only to those involved professionally in the sport but also its millions of fans world-wide.This is a remarkable behind-the-scenes insight, especially into those early days embracing the FIM (Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme), IRTA (International Road Racing Teams Association) and MSMA (Motorcycle Sport Manufacturers Association). The stories of the battles, the money and the involvement of Bernie Ecclestone are brilliantly divulged by the key players. The 25-year period is divided into five main chapters about the sport, each written by a leading journalist, supported by the DORNA story in parallel. The sporting chapters each cover a five-year period, as follows, with the first World Champion of each period named: Wayne Rainey (1992-1996), Mick Doohan (1997-2001), Valentino Rossi (2002-2006), Casey Stoner (2007-2011) and Jorge Lorenzo (2012-2017).Technical perspective comes from renowned technical writer Kevin Cameron. Packed with great photographs, mainly from DORNA's archive, and supported by key statistics.

National Review is not only conservatism's most vital magazine and website, its principle locus for defining our movement, for supporting our allies, for combatting the foes of our principles. National Review is also a cause.
Our readers know that, which is why for over 60 years, many ─ often in response to direct appeals from our founder, William F. Buckley Jr. ─ they have given consequential material support to NR. To allow it to do what it has done best since the first issue premiered in 1955: To stand athwart history, yelling Stop.
Your selfless support of National Review's current webathon ─ in which we seek support for the battle against a re-emerging Socialism ─ is as vital as it is deeply appreciated.
Many thanks,

|Kate Stewart
|Character Information
|Kate Stewart
|Doctor Who
|Vehicles and/or Gadgets
|Leader of U.N.I.T.
Kate Stewart, also known as Kate Lethbridge-Stewart and nicknamed "Tiger" by her father, was the Chief Scientific Officer of UNIT. She was the daughter of Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart and his first wife Fiona, and the mother of Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart and another child.
Kate spent her youth not knowing of her father's activities with extra-terrestrial beings, believing whole-heartedly that his life consisted of a boring and simple military job. She and her mother spent much time ironically joking that he was constantly off on amazing adventures when they both knew the "truth." Kate would not begin to scratch the true surface of her father's life until years later when she shared an encounter against the Great Intelligence with him. She would spend some time investigating UNIT and her father's ties to it, at one point encountering ex-UNIT operative Douglas Cavendish to investigate a "haunting," which revealed itself to be a Dæmon. She soon joined the organization, rising to its top position and changing it to be a more scientific, peaceful group, though not afraid to resort to more violent solutions when pressed.
As the leader of UNIT, Kate encountered the Doctor many times during encounters between Earth and alien threats, becoming as familiar to the Doctor as her father had been. She helped protect the Earth on several occasions, leading with Cybermen, the new female Master and an invasion of Autons via the company Delvin Futuretech. She was also at the forefront of the Human-Zygon coalition, setting a new precedent for peace not previously seen in the organization against the Silurian threat. This peace was challenged by a group of radical Zygons and almost led to Kate and the lead Zygon using the Osgood Box as a means of wiping each other out, but the Twelfth Doctor was able to convince both of the futility and childishness of conflict. In fact, neither Box actually functioned but instead acted as a catalyst for change, whereby the Doctor could wipe the user's memories using the effects of the UNIT Storage Facility.
- She appears as one of five hostages in Rude Awakening quest along with Osgood.

Radica Girl Tech My Photo Booth
Strike a pose then share funny photos with friends using your own personal photo booth. My Photo Booth is the perfect guest to invite to your next slumber party or get-together. Just set the timer, pose in the mirror and watch the countdown lights. Then flash! And you get fun pictures instantly. Comes with 1 roll of Polaroid i-Zone film for easy refilling. Additional rolls of film sold separately. Imported. 10Hx7-1/2Wx2L".
Great fun at slumber parties or when just bumming around with pals, this freestanding camera operates like a real photo booth and takes instant pictures of the whole gang. The tabletop unit is fairly big, standing about 9-1/2 inches tall, but, considering its capabilities, is still pretty portable. The photo booth uses Polaroid i-Zone technology and comes with a starter pack of six strips of instant i-Zone pocket film. Film strips feed through the slot on top of the photo booth and must be loaded separately for each picture. The photo booth tilts forward or backward for the best picture angle and has a mirrored screen so girls can vogue in front of it to see what looks best before snapping their shot. Once film is loaded, girls pull down the side handle and have about 6 seconds to get into their pose before the flash goes off. Once the picture is taken, girls can pull the strip out the slot and watch the photo fully develop. My Photo Booth also accepts i-Zone pocket sticker film or pocket fortune film as replacement film. This miniature photo booth uses four "AA" batteries—two for the flash and two for the timer—and is covered by a 90-day limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

What we are going to do is use Google search and a little link sleuthing to find some quality backlinks for your website. It'll take you about 3 minutes to find the list of websites to get your links. From there you'll have to spend some time actually going through those links to see if there are opportunities for you to also get a link. Some of the links will be obvious to you that they are valuable, while others may not. When determining links for a local business, look for sites that are relevant to your business and industry and one's that are a part of your community. Further down in this article are some types of websites where you can find some good links.
While proper linkbuilding is much more in depth than this, for the beginner and the non-SEO, this is a great way to get started in getting those cherished backlinks.
Step 1 – Perform a Google search for the most relevant key search term for your business
Look at the results and find your local competitor that is ranking at the top of the search results. If the top result is a video or a national website, or isn't relevant….scroll down until you find a local competitor. Now click on that competitors website link.
Step 2 – Get the phone number from their website
The reason you're going to use the phone number is that out of the NAP (Name, Address, Phone Number), the phone number is the most unique identifier, businesses usually don't share phone numbers, but they may share an address and there may be several businesses with the same or similar name.
Step 3 – Perform a Google search for their phone number
Go through the results, looking for websites that have your competitor listed on their website. You can check to see if there is an opportunity for your business to get a similar link for your website. Some of the types of link opportunities will come from:
- Business directories
- Industry associations
- Blogs
- Other local businesses
- Local and national media
- Online advertising opportunities
It'll be up to you to sift through the results and determine if you can also obtain a link from that website. While this is a quick and very easy way for you to do some link sleuthing, it does have some limitations:
- The order of websites will not be in order of importance or authority
- It's easy to miss good link opportunities due to so much volume to go through
- You'll have to sift through the results to find meaningful opportunities
- This tactic will help you play link catch up, not introduce new opportunities to outpace your competition
- As a non-SEO, you may have difficulty determining the value of a link or how to go about getting it
Step 4 – Rinse and repeat with other competitors and key search terms
So there you have it, a quick and easy way to find relevant backlinks for your website. Once you do this for one competitor, try it on others, and try out different search terms. This should keep you busy for awhile when it comes to finding link opportunities. This is a good start for the DIY local business owner to get started with building links, though you'll probably have to do a bit more than this to become the "top position snatcher" in your market. Good luck, if you have any questions…..contact me here!

VQS pre defleet inspection helps fleets reduce end of contract charges
Fleet managers are generally unaware of the extent of any damage or repairs that are required on an employee's vehicle until it has been returned at the end of its leasing contract, by which time it can be too late to take action and there is no option but to simply 'take the financial hit'.
Instead, our pre de-fleet inspection means a company car can be assessed one, two or three months prior to it being handed back.
A VQS inspector visits the company site and undertakes the assessment. Any required repairs or damage are highlighted and a cost to repair is immediately calculated. The fleet manager can then decide whether to have the work undertaken prior to it being defleeted, or simply pay the dehire charges which the lease company will impose to bring the car back to the condition required for onward sale.
Developed in-house, VQS' tablet-based vehicle inspection technology provides full transparency of a vehicle's condition at the end of a contract, generating repair estimates and charges in real-time supported by high quality images.
Simon Jackson, managing director of VQS said: "Often a fleet of cars or vans can be spread across the country and the fleet manager may not be aware of vehicle condition over the three or four years of the contract lease.
"One of our leasing clients is already offering this to its customers and the response has been very positive. It gives them choices rather than simply being landed with a large dehire bill when an employee returns their company vehicle," he added.

A ramming tool attached to the rear of a steal pipe drives the pipe into the ground with repeated blows. Pipe rams are used for larger pipe installs in gravel or stony ground.
This method is often used where directional drilling or thrusting can not be achieved because of ground conditions. Pipe rams are used for multiple duct installs and are beneficial under rail way lines and busy state highways.

Break-out Group Discussions - Round Tables - 90 Min
Description: The European Union's General Data Protection Regulation, enforced in May 2018, is perhaps the most revolutionary regulation related to data protection and privacy of the 21st century so far. It has brought data privacy across the European Union (EU) in sync, allowed companies operating in EU to be governed by one set of laws, provided legal requirement for "privacy-by-design", and protected the data privacy of all EU citizens alike. It has also provided an important benchmark and precedent for other countries and regions that want to work on data management in a way that citizens have more control over the data and human rights principles are upheld in user data management processes.
The GDPR has already affected Asian companies due to its extraterritorial applicability. At the same time, civil society groups in Asia are keen to see how benefits of the GDPR (better protections for citizens, transparency in industry practices, data portability) can be applied in their home countries. The process of developing a regional data protection regulation in Asia is arguably more difficult than in Europe because of the diverse nature of Asian states, the level of development of democratic structures and processes in members states, the absence of a regional multilateral intergovernmental organisation that covers all of Asia, and the lack of existing safeguards for data protection and privacy in national cyber laws in many Asian countries. In order to facilitate the process and determine its practicality, the proposed workshop session will help bring together discussions in various Asian countries about adopting laws similar to the EU GDPR and help develop a clear statement of needs, key challenges, and possible solutions for developing and implementing a similar regional regulation in Asia.
The workshop session format will be breakout group discussions with round table arrangement to allow for maximum interaction among the session participants. Through a series of group exercises, the proposed workshop session will help participants familiarize themselves with aspects of the EU GDPR, discuss ways in which similar measures might help in the Asian context, figure out the challenges that would impede advocacy and action on these measures in the Asian region, determine the worst responses to these challenges and then use these responses to brainstorm practical solutions, and finally to figure out how the practical solutions can be implemented on a regional scale to push for an integrated regulatory framework.
The workshop session agenda is as follows:
Introduction to the session (Moderator, 5 minutes) – The session moderator will share the rationale behind the session and its intended objectives with the participants.
Getting familiar with the EU GDPR (Group exercise, 10 minutes) – Each group will be provided one key change implemented in the data protection regime by the EU GDPR (for example, the GDPR forces companies to get user consent for data processing in a clear and intelligible way using plain language). The participants will be asked to discuss what is the best thing about this change. The groups will be encouraged to keep in mind digital rights and think about how the EU GDPR section assigned to them helped uphold the digital rights.
Group presentations (10 minutes) – The moderator will call upon one representative from each group to share a brief comment (1-2 lines) on the result of their group discussion about the EU GDPR section assigned to them.
Introducing the local context (Group exercise, 10 minutes) – Now each group will discuss how the same EU measure they discussed in the first exercise might be relevant in the context of Asian countries. Participants will be encouraged to bring to discussion the salient features or concerns related to the data regulations that have been passed in their countries. They may also rely on the advocacy for data protection and privacy in their countries, in the case of absence of local laws on data protection. This will help participants learn about the experience from other countries in the region. Based on the discussion, each group will determine if they want to continue with the measure or rephrase their concern differently for the subsequent exercises in the session. For example, the group discussing user consent might agree to rephrase the concern to say that user consent must be taken in a local language in Asian countries in addition to English to ensure accessibility and comprehension.
Identifying challenges (Group exercise, 10 minutes) - Once the participants have finalized their concern, they will now discuss the challenges to include this measure in data protection regulations. At this point, participants will be encouraged to not worry about an integrated regulatory framework. Rather they will be encouraged to bring as many challenges informed from diverse local and national contexts to the table. Each group will then create a list of the top five challenges they have identified. They will be asked to list these five points on a chart paper or poster provided by the organizing team.
Reviewing the challenges (Moderator, 5 points) – The moderator will read out the challenges identified by each group regarding effective data protection regulations so the other groups can also get informed about the work done by their colleagues.
What's the worst that can be done (Group exercise, 5 minutes) – The groups will now think about their response to the challenges they identified. Each group will be asked to create a list of five of the worst ways they can think of responding to the challenges identified in the previous exercise. This will help participants understand the need for action and reflect on their own responses at an individual or organisational level at present.
Thinking about solutions (Group exercise, 10 minutes) – The moderator will ask each group to reflect on whether the worst responses were localized or have regional similarities. Each group will then use this reflection to prepare a list of five solutions that are the opposite of their worst-case responses and can be applied region-wide in terms of developing or implementing a data protection regulation.
Breaking out further (10 minutes) – Each participant will now be asked to break out from their own group and find one member from another group. In these pairs of two, the participants will now inform their partner about their favorite solution they came up for the challenge they identified in their group. After three minutes, two pairs will be asked to form a group of four and share their discussion on solutions with each other. After another three minutes, each group of four will be asked to merge with another group of four to form a group of eight participants and repeat the exercise. In this way, the group of eight will be asked to reach a consensus of their favorite policy solution for the development of an Asian version of the GDPR.
Solution presentation (5 minutes) – One representative from each group of eight will be asked to briefly share their group's solution (1-2 lines) with all the other participants.
Reflection and final comments (Moderator, 5 minutes) – The moderator will share final comments and request the participants to jot down one bold idea about advocacy or development of an Asian GDPR based on their work during the session. The participants will be asked to take this bold idea forward after the IGF and incorporate it in their work.
In order to arrive at practical policy solutions, the session will rely on group exercises that are linked, so the work done in one group exercise feeds into the next allowing the participants to learn from their actions and continue their thought processes in a meaningful, solution-oriented manner. The group exercises will allow for policy discussions, and the moderator interventions and group re-formation at the end of the session will allow for the discussions to proliferate beyond separate groups.
Even though break-out group discussions do not require a set of speakers. However, based on the IGF submission system's requirement, four speakers have been contacted for the proposed workshop session. The speakers will be assigned one group each and will serve as facilitators for the group assigned to them. They will help the session moderator in communicating with the groups and ensure that group discussions do not diverge from the intended objectives of the session. The organizing team will also visit the round tables to see how the discussions are proceeding and help with concerns the participants might be facing. The use of visual aids and stationery items will be made to help participants record their ideas and share them with other groups during presentations. The online moderator will help bring online participants into the discussion and share their input with the onsite participants through the onsite moderator during the presentation and review sections of the workshop.Expected Outcomes: The workshop's expected outcomes are given below:
1. Identification of challenges to Asian GDPR, with a focus on similarity or differences in the nature of the challenges and how broadly they apply to the entire region rather than individual contexts for countries in the region.
2. Help participants reflect on the worst ways to respond to the need and challenges for the development of an integrated regulatory framework for data protection in Asia and determine how their own individual or organisational action weighs against the worst responses.
3. A list of practical solutions to the challenges that may affect development of an Asian GDPR.
4. A set of recommendations for policymakers, tech companies, and civil society organizations in the Asian region for developing an integrated regulatory framework on data protection and privacy, based on the discussion on needs assessment, challenges, and solutions during the workshop session.
How have countries in Asia followed human rights principles in their existing legal and regulatory frameworks for data protection and privacy? How can Asian countries link ethical considerations to their legal mechanisms on data protection and privacy? What are the key challenges to development of an ethical and robust region-wide data protection regulation in Asia? How can the RegTech sector be leveraged to help develop an intergovernmental consensus on data protection and privacy in Asia and how will RegTech affect human rights online? How can digital rights be ensured through a region-wide regulation in a landscape where many countries have autocratic or authoritarian governments? How can regulatory integration be protected against the interests of data/surveillance capitalism in the region? What lessons does GDPR compliance by companies in the ASEAN region provide in terms of the potential economic benefits from having an Asian version of the GDPR? How can existing compliance with EU GDPR in Asia be leveraged to develop case studies for advocacy on data protection and privacy in Asia? How to engage China in a discussion of region-wide Internet governance in Asia?
Relevance to Theme: The development of a region-wide regulation on data protection and privacy can help move forward the data governance agenda in Asia. Without ethical, robust, and human rights-driven laws on data protection and privacy, any attempt to use large-scale data collection, storage, processing, and transfer to boost economic development in Asia may result in violations of human rights. The proposed session hopes to bring different stakeholder groups together to discuss and develop strategies for both government action and civil society advocacy on an overarching data protection regulation for Asia, which may allow for more regional collaboration and also push countries that are not thinking about data protection and privacy laws to pay attention. The proposed session therefore directly contributes to the debate and discussions envisioned for the Data Governance theme for IGF 2019.Relevance to Internet Governance: The process of development of a general data protection regulation for the Asian region will require collaboration and consultation between governments, the private sector, and civil society groups at an unprecedented scale. This will hopefully lead to shared human-centric rules for online data protection and privacy eventually. The session's discussion regarding solutions to the challenges of developing such shared rules, therefore, directly relates to Internet Governance.

Interactivity is already built in to the format of the workshop session as it is a break-out group discussion with round tables. Moderator and organizing team members will also visit the groups to encourage participants to actively take part in the discussions. The moderator will also facilitate presentations from group representatives so members of other groups in the session are also informed of the discussion. The groups will be further broken out at the end of the session and reformed to allow participants more exposure to discussions that took place at neighboring tables and to form a consensus around the policy suggestions. The online moderator will help bring online participants into the discussion and share their input with the onsite participants through the onsite moderator during the presentation and review sections of the workshop. The speakers will sit with the groups during the session and facilitate their discussions in keeping with the agenda and objectives of the session.
The group exercises are designed in a way that remote participants can also engage with them. Since the moderator will be reading out the questions and instructions for each group exercise, remote participants will be able to easily follow along. Remote participants can respond to the questions of the group exercises in individual capacity by taking notes on their computers and sharing their responses with the online moderator, who will relay them to the onsite moderator so comments and suggestions from the online participants become a part of the session discussions.Proposed Additional Tools: The online moderator will use Twitter to share the needs assessment, challenges, and solutions being discussed in the session to build online engagement around the session and ensure that the discussions from the session reach a larger audience during the course of the IGF.
