We're currently in an age spoiled by political comedy shows. With the advent of Trump's administration, existing talk shows have pivoted to have a political bend. New shows materialized out of the ether to give "voices to the voiceless," and none dare bat an eye at the blatant self-righteousness if it all. Everyone is trying to say the same thing ("Trump bad," essentially) so loudly that the entertainment aspect of their jobs tends to fall by the wayside. It's too tempting an opportunity to have a modicum of restraint, and most politically-leaning TV outlets have given up the pretense altogether.
In a simpler time, Jon Stewart came up with the brilliant realization that people (especially young adults) would be more inclined to learn and care about politics if the news was packaged in a humorous light. As it turns out, he was right: politics are inherently hilarious and The Daily Show became a huge success, with many claiming it to be their sole source of news and Stewart the most trusted man in the media. Yet for years, either for a lack of talent, interest, or otherwise, no one even tried to challenge Stewart's position–with one exception.
In 2005, Stephen Colbert, one of Stewart's correspondents, was given his very own show. With Stewart producing and Colbert at the helm, The Colbert Report was born. The premise was simple: having Jon Stewart berate Fox News directly and indirectly week to week was all very well, but the treatment, by design, could only go skin deep. The Report distinguished itself by taking the concept of making the news funny and pivoting slightly to be about making Fox News funny, which turned out to make all the difference.
Colbert used tactics like manipulation, over-corporatization, pandering, and fear-mongering to skew the right wing agenda. Never breaking character, Colbert's delivery dripped with sarcasm and solidified his smarmy facade in television history. What I loved about The Colbert Report when it was on and even more so now in retrospect was its unending commitment to the act it presented.
Almost every political news show, comical or otherwise, will inevitably turn to the audience for an "I know we've all had fun, but now it's time to get serious…" moment, and you can practically hear the Full House music play as the pundit's voice lowers and my eyes glaze over in abject boredom. The Report trusted its audience enough to know where the show's real values stood, so when a scandal or an oil spill blew up the liberal media with chastisements and finger-wagging, Colbert didn't need to do his set and then remind everyone at the end that he was just being facetious. Instead he kicked his feet back and leaned harder into the joke, because a victory for the right would be a victory for "Colbert" as well.
Essentially, Colbert respected his audience in a way that not even The Daily Show or Last Week Tonight could replicate, with both examples trying to tout themselves as journalists and comedians instead of finding a way to fuse the two the way Colbert did. Last Week Tonight particularly gets on my nerves for its schizophrenic tone and total lack of self-awareness, with jokes being peppered throughout a harrowing story about chicken farmers or the refugee crisis with the grace and subtlety of chasing medicine with Pop Rocks.
But the worst offense modern comedic political shows have committed is by far their anger. The biggest problem with the 24 hour news cycle is that every breaking story has always been treated like Armageddon in order to spur up enough ire to keep watching. Ratings come before quality, and I find it difficult to stay interested in someone yelling at me week in and week out when I could just as easily go online and read the news without the annoying middleman. I considered myself a fan of The Daily Show back in its heyday, but I always found it perplexing why Jon Stewart had to stop dead in his tracks every once in a while to give a poe-faced lecture about whatever topic happened to be trending at the time. Now, I long eternal for those days past.
I genuinely don't know how John Oliver manages to get so worked up week-to-week about everything he talks about, but at this point it might as well be white noise, especially since a lot of the comedy comes from insults about people's appearances which always strikes me as cheap. Even network programs like Late Night with Seth Meyers and, coincidentally, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert which tend to be less intense still have their own unique problems to contend with. Seth Meyers particularly is so against Trump that you could practically see the foam forming in his mouth when he talks about how Hillary led the election polls by 90%, a liberal estimate that ended up lulling the populace into a stupor of breezy contentment by the time the election proper rolled around. Meyers's brand of commentating has become the left's equivalent of Fox News, so unabashedly biased that facts will sometimes be bent in service of humiliating a man who looks like an overweight chimp rolling around in Cheeto dust.
We don't need condescending reminders that the current political climate should be taken seriously, nor hand-holding exposes and half-assed jokes at the expense of some wrinkly old white men. What we need is a format conducive to the ridiculousness of our era, something that embraces the current administration with faux appreciation so that the audience can extract the news on their own without it being force-fed in between pot-shots and delusional statistics. Stephen Colbert's lost his teeth, and while his new show may be experiencing an unprecedented high, it's no wonder his best segments involved bringing his old character back from the grave.
Trump is a lightning rod of hysteria and hatred on both sides of the aisle, his ascension to the presidency a reminder that the American people are too wearied by the media to care about or believe what they have to say. They've cried wolf for too long, making everything out to be the end of the world so that a genuine threat could easily slip through the cracks. Instead of learning from their mistakes, almost every political show has adopted the exact same format of "news but with jokes" with no variation whatsoever. We need The Colbert Report to remind us what creativity is worth when everyone simultaneously rises up in one voice, shouting over each other to say the same thing.

From the very small to the very large; NEWT's North Sea Pelagic 05/07/17
by martin on Jul.10, 2017, under North Sea
After a couple of weather affected planned sailings we headed out on Wednesday for a 4hr evening pelagic. There was a long rolling swell as we left the mouth of the Tyne, but that settled as we headed further north and offshore. As Gannets soared by there were Puffins dotted around and Guillemots with recent fledglings. Kittiwakes were above bait balls of tiny fish and a Harbour Porpoise was followed soon after by a Minke Whale that was feeding beneath a flock of Gannets before heading across our bow and vanishing into the mysterious deep. A quiet evening, but two cetaceans in less than ideal viewing conditions wasn't a bad start 🙂
Our 4hr evening sailings are almost all sold out but there are a few places remaining, and we've still got availability on our 10hr 'Northumberland Ultimate Pelagic' sailings in August and September. Give us a call on 01670 827465 for more information or to reserve your place 🙂
Whale Tales of the North Sea 25/03/17
by martin on Mar.27, 2017, under North Sea
Following an invitation from DFDS, I arrived at the Royal Quays passenger terminal on Saturday morning for the 'Whale Tales of the North Sea' event, celebrating 10 years of DFDS and the charity ORCA working together.
I spend part of my time working for MARINElife, but I've also been an ORCA member for nearly two decades and NEWT's involvement with them goes back to 2010. when I led a familiarisation trip for the wildlife officers ahead of their season onboard. Our own Whale and Dolphin trips during the summer usually pass by one of the Newcastle-IJmuiden ferries, either as we sail out of the Tyne, or return at the end of the day, and the NEWT team enjoyed a mini-cruise to Holland in 2010 as guests of DFDS. We'd highly recommend it 🙂
Following a packed lunch, Michaela Strachan presented a series of short clips of some of her experiences with whales and dolphins around the world, which kept all of the younger members of the audience entertained. With only ~90 different species, cetaceans are poorly represented compared to terrestrial mammals (~4200 species), birds (~10000 species) and insects (~1000000 species, with potentially another 5-29000000 million species still to be discovered!). What they lack in numbers they make up for in sheer size, and some of the film clips demonstrated just how big they are.
Anna Bunney from ORCA gave a presentation about the cetaceans of the North Sea and there we have an even smaller range of species. Harbour Porpoise, Bottlenose Dolphin, White-beaked Dolphin and Minke Whale are all relatively common, but there's a range of rarer visitors to the waters of North East England; Risso's Dolphin, White-sided Dolphin, Killer Whale, Sperm Whale, Pilot Whale and Humpback Whale have all appeared in recent years and historical records contain some real oddities.
Educating people about the wealth of marine wildlife in the North Sea is something that ORCA and DFDS are doing really well, and the data that surveyors are gathering onboard is a valuable resource, combined with the ferry data gathered by MARINElife on other North Sea routes and the small-boat survey data from the North East Cetacean Project in Northumberland.
Many thanks to DFDS for the invitation to join them for the celebration with ORCA 🙂
If you're not already convinced that our marine wildlife is awesome, here are a few pictures that should speak for themselves 🙂
Weather window; NEWT's North Sea Pelagic 10/09/16
by martin on Sep.12, 2016, under North Sea
My obsession with the weather forecast tends to intensify whenever we've got a pelagic wildlife trip coming up, and even more so when it's one of our 10hr 'Northumberland Ultimate Pelagic' sailings. In the far reaches of the Farne Deeps even a fairly benign wind direction like southwesterly (which isn't a problem in nearshore waters) can produce 'interesting' conditions…
I'd been out on Friday carrying out survey work for the North East Cetacean Project, and the southerly wind had piled the sea up into a white-capped deep rolling swell. Sunday's forecast was for similar, but Saturday looked as though we'd have a nice weather window 🙂 Heading north from the Tyne we had the wind and the swell behind us, so it was a fairly smooth journey. By the time we reached the edge of the Farne Deeps, having encountered our first group of White-beaked Dolphins along the way, that swell was up around 1.5-2m. Then the dolphins started to appear – a group of 10 were joined by more and we'd soon got up to 25 White-beaked Dolphins around us 🙂 At one point we had 11 bow-riding between the hulls, packed together like sardines in a tin, and another ten alongside us. Eventually they stopped playing and gradually peeled off to return to feeding, just before Anthony spotted a Minke Whale ahead of us…which proved to be two Minkes, an adult and a juvenile. As we headed back south, with a Harbour Porpoise putting in a typically brief appearance in a flat, glassy calm, sea and odd Sooty Shearwaters added to the day total (which was around 50) Anthony asked me if I would scan the horizon out the east through my binoculars, as he'd seen what looked like very distant splashing. Sure enough, there were the splashes, which eventually resolved into a group of at least 30 White-beaked Dolphins and a memorable end to a stunning day.
Bait ball; NEWT's North Sea Pelagic 03/07/2015
by martin on Jul.17, 2015, under North Sea
Our second North Sea Pelagic of 2015 was accompanied by the usual cast of Fulmar, Kittiwake,Gannet, Guillemot, Razorbill and Puffin, and we sailed north a few miles from the shore. Passing Newbiggin, Bruce spotted a whale heading north, and I managed a brief sighting of it although it was travelling north rapidly and lost in the swell. We were just about to turn south again when there was a moment of pelagic magic 🙂 Allan and Jimmy spotted a distant fin to the north, and there was a growing flock of Gannet, Kittiwake and Fulmar in the area where the fin had been spotted. Then a Minke Whale surfaced amongst the birds 🙂 Once I was sure that everyone had seen the whale I started a 360 degree scan – past experience suggests that good feeding often attracts multiple Minkes…and it was soon clear that there were two whales to the north of us and a third to the south 🙂
Calm; NEWT's North Sea Pelagic 29/06/2013
by martin on Jul.17, 2015, under North Sea
Our 2015 North Sea Pelagic season got underway at the end of June, with Kittiwakes, Fulmars and Gannets galore, Guillemots, Razorbills and plenty of Puffins on the sea and a dense flock of Common Scoter towards the end of the evening. Despite sightings of Bottlenose Dolphin, White-beaked Dolphin and Minke Whale in the days leading up to the sailing, they weren't hanging around any of their usual haunts. Perhaps our second evening pelagic of 2015 would bring better luck…
A game of two halves; NEWT's North Sea Pelagic 25/07/2014
by martin on Aug.05, 2014, under North Sea, Northumberland
One of the oddest pelagics in 17 years of organising them. Started with absolutely mirror-calm sea, bringing some of the best photographic opportunites with Fulmar, Kittiwake and Lesser Black-backed Gull that I've ever encountered, progressed through sightings of adult and calf White-beaked Dolphin, adult and calf Minke Whale and Harbour Porpoise, then on to flocks of Common Scoter appearing out of the descending mist…and finished with visibility down to less than 50m!
We've still got a few spaces on our Farne Deeps trips, which are our best trips for encountering White-beaked Dolphin and other marine mammals, on 12th and 28th August from Royal Quays, and our birdwatching-focused trips from Royal Quays on 23rd August, 6th September and 13th September. Our Whale and Dolphin Cruise from Seahouses on 30th August is an excellent introduction to offshore wildlife for all the family too 🙂 Give us a call on 01670 827465 for more details, or have a look at our North Sea pelagic page.
Whales and Dolphins; NEWT's North Sea Pelagic 31/08/13
by martin on Sep.03, 2013, under Birdwatching, Grey Seal, MInke Whale, North Sea, Northumberland, White-beaked Dolphin
Our annual Whale and Dolphin Cruise on Glad Tidings V is one of the highlights of our North Sea Pelagic programme. With over 40 people booked on to this year's sailing, we were going to need to be organised and efficient getting everyone on to the boat – luckily I'm married to Sarah, so organisation and efficiency just seem to happen to me 🙂
Saturday was also the first day of our Whales, Waders and Wildfowl holiday, so I collected Bill from The Swan and we drove north, pausing in Amble to collect Ruth as we passed through. Warm, sunny, windy and with plenty of whitecaps offshore were conditions that could make finding cetaceans tricky. As we sailed south we came across a raft of Gannets, Sooty and Manx Shearwaters and plenty of Grey Seals 'bottling' amongst them. There wasn't any sort of feeding activity of note though, but eventually we managed brief views of a small group of Harbour Porpoise nearby. Continuing on our way, there was a sighting of Minke Whale from the front of the boat…just as I watched a White-beaked Dolphin breaching away to the east 🙂 Eventually we had seven or eight dolphins around the boat, allowing everyone on board the opportunity to enjoy close views of our favourite cetacean. As we made our way slowly back towards Seahouses, two more Minke Whales appeared and we'd struck gold, silver and bronze in one trip 🙂
Deep water; NEWT's North Sea Pelagic 14/08/2013
by martin on Aug.27, 2013, under Birdwatching, North Sea, Northumberland, White-beaked Dolphin
Probably my favourite pelagic of all of the North Sea pelagic trips that we run (although I enjoy all of them immensely!) is our 10hr Farne Deeps – Northumberland's 'Ultimate Pelagic'. The forecast looked about as promising as it gets and I arrived at Royal Quays in good time, to discover that most of our participants were already there 🙂 This was just a day before I would be heading south to the British Birdwatching Fair and five of our participants would also be visiting Rutland over the coming weekend.
As we sailed north east we soon found our first cetaceans of the day, a small pod of Harbour Porpoise. 10 minutes later our progress northeast was slowed as we enjoyed prolonged views of a Minke Whale. Continuing towards the Farne Deeps, a deep-water offshore area that I've been interested in since the late 1990's and the North East Cetacean Project has been surveying since 2009, we encountered our first White-beaked Dolphins of the trip. In an interesting rolling swell seabirds were passing by too; Fulmars, Gannets, Kittiwakes, Guillemots, Razorbills, Manx and Sooty Shearwaters, Great and Arctic Skuas and the occasional Puffin all attracted interest. Small groups of White-beaked Dolphins were found in locations where we expected them before we headed further offshore to the area that we've shown to hold large aggregations of dolphins in the mid-late summer. Almost exactly where we would expect them to be we found several dolphins breaching. Others began bow-riding and soon there were groups of White-beaked Dolphins in every direction; tail-slapping, breaching, spy-hopping and just generally performing. Eventually as many as 60 of these stunningly beautiful dolphins were in view and all of the photographers on board were busy filling their memory cards. 16 years of organising North Sea pelagic trips and they just get better every year 🙂
Supporting cast; NEWT's North Sea Pelagic 19/07/2013
by martin on Aug.06, 2013, under Birdwatching, Grey Seal, MInke Whale, North Sea, Northumberland, Northumberland Coast, White-beaked Dolphin
In late July there are a few species that we'd be amazed to not find on a North Sea pelagic trip; Guillemot, Razorbill, Puffin, Kittiwake, Fulmar and Gannet are all great birds to see, and are all part of the experience that is the North Sea in mid-summer. There are other species that can overshadow the regular cast list though; Sooty Shearwater is a real 'birders bird', close views of any of the skuas grab the attention and, with seabirds covering such vast distances, there's always the possibility of something completely unexpected. But, for crowd-pleasing spectacular there's little that can compete with our marine mammals. Grey Seals often pop their heads up as we pass, but the real awe-inspiring species are whales and dolphins. Our previous pelagic had been illuminated by Minke Whales but on this trip we were confident of finding a different species. Ten years of finding, studying, and mapping the distribution of, White-beaked Dolphins gives us a narrow target area to search in the third week in July…
As we headed north, a shout from Jimmy alerted everyone to the presence of a small pod of dolphins ahead of us. Sure enough, the White-beaked Dolphins came across to investigate our boat and we soon had 12 of them around us 🙂 Once I was sure that everyone had seen them – which didn't take too long! – I waited for them to surface alongside us so that I could take photographs of their dorsal fins. Through a combination of NEWT pelagic trips and survey work for the North East Cetacean Project, we've built up a catalogue of individual White-beaked Dolphins off the Northumberland coast. Having been the first pelagic tour operator to regularly find White-beaked Dolphins off the Northumberland coast, and the only one to have contributed to the Marine Conservation Zones project, we're proud to have been involved in leading the way in groundbreaking research to map the distribution and abundance of White-beaked Dolphins. We'd like to thank all of our clients who've contributed, and continue to contribute, to the catalogue too 🙂
Of course, dolphin dorsal fin images aren't the most exciting shots you can get, and the glassy calm water produced lots of other interesting possibilities…
by martin on Aug.05, 2013, under Birdwatching, Druridge Bay, MInke Whale, Northumberland, Otter, Southeast Northumberland, White-beaked Dolphin
As I collected Carol and Howard from their holiday accommodation in Alnwick, the bright afternoon sunshine was going to make viewing conditions difficult for the first few hours. The plan for the afternoon and evening was the one that has worked so well for us in mid-July previously; birdwatching around Druridge Bay, a quick scan of the sea while we have our picnic stop, then settle down to enjoy the wildlife that makes its appearance as daylight fades.
Little Egrets were the highlight of the first section of the afternoon, but what came next was so astonishing that I was lost for words…
As we arrived at our picnic spot, overlooking the North Sea, I was amazed to see that the sea was absolutely mirror-calm; not a ripple or wave as far as the eye could see. We'd only just started our soup and sandwiches when the mirror was shattered…by a White-beaked Dolphin 🙂 Many of our encounters with dolphins are small groups of animals that are travelling from one spot to another. Not this time though, as another three appeared next to the first one and they spent nearly an hour in the one small area, along with another eight animals in three small groups. We watched them breaching, and circling in one tight area, presumably over a food source. The most remarkable thing though, was that the sea was so flat that we could see the tell-tale fluke prints when they were just beneath the surface. As the groups moved a little way, we knew exactly where they were going to surface next. Now, watching dolphins in Northumberland waters is "something really special" ((c) Joanne, one of our regular North Sea pelagic clients) and the only way to top it is…to watch a Minke Whale surfacing just beyond the dolphins at the same time! Awesome 🙂

"Everything's changed. Everything is different." Coming to terms with the Anthropocene
Public event by well-known scholar Professor Clive Hamilton
When: June 7th, 10.15 – 12
Where: LUCSUS, Wrangel building, library (2nd floor), Biskopsgatan 5.
The Anthropocene, the new geological epoch that has now arrived, represents a profound rupture in the history of the Earth and in the history of humankind. We have become powerful enough to change the course of the Earth, yet we seem unable to control ourselves, and continue on a perilous path. Will humankind come together in the common task of repairing a disrupted planet … or are we unable to live together on this Earth? A poster in the Paris metro says: "Nature doesn't need humankind". But is that true?
Clive Hamilton is an Australian academic and the author. His books include Requiem for a Species: Why We Resist the Truth About Climate Change and Earthmasters: The Dawn of the Age of Climate Engineering. He was the founder and executive director of the Australia Institute, the nation's leading progressive think tank. In 2008 he was appointed Professor of Public Ethics at Charles Sturt University in Canberra. He has held various visiting academic positions, including at Yale University and the University of Oxford. He is currently visiting Sciences Po in Paris.
Please find here a link to an article in the Guardian Newspaper which will be closely connected to the presentation.

The Landless Rural Workers Movement and Agrarian reform in Brazil
Presentation and discussion with Miguel Carter and Ana Terra
When: Friday April 8, 2016, 13:15-15:00
Where: LUCSUS, Wrangel building, Biskopsgatan 5, Lund
In his book, Miguel Carter explores the causes of, consequences of, and contemporary reactions to Brazil's sharply unequal agrarian structure. He focuses on the Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST), Latin America's largest and prominent social movement, and the on-going efforts of the MST to confront historical patterns of inequality in the Brazilian countryside.
Together with Ana Terra he will present his book and there will be opportunities for discussing MST and social movements in general.
Professional and Amateur Urbanism in our Urban Age
Public lecture by Andy Merrifield
Time: 10 - 12 am, April 7th, 2016
Venue: Ostrom room (3rd floor), Josephson, Biskopsgatan 5, Lund
"In 1970, the French philosopher Henri Lefebvre proposed a hypothesis: the complete urbanisation of society. In 2006, United Nations-Habitat confirmed Lefebvre's "virtual" projection, suggesting it may become real in the second half of the twentieth-first century. Yet these two visions of reality pursue different ends through different means. One is political, grassroots, and radically condemns capitalism and its urban form. The other, technical and technocratic, uses capitalism as the source of the solution. This lecture will delve into these two competing paradigms of what I call "amateur" and "professional" urbanism: the former about participation, the latter about representation."
Andy Merrifield is an independent scholar, a writer, social theorist and urban geographer. He has written many articles, essays and reviews in both scholarly and popular publications and is author of numerous books, including most recently Magical Marxism (Pluto, 2011), John Berger (Reaktion, 2012), The Politics of the Encounter (University of Georgia Press, 2013), and The New Urban Question (Pluto, 2014). His latest work, The Amateur, is forthcoming next year with Verso. Merrifield is a contributing editor of Adbusters.
Public lunchtime talk
Time: 12-12.45, March 29, 2016

At Swim Two Birds
Before You Left CD
Before You Left underlines Roger Quigley's credentials as an expert purveyor of slowly unravelling melancholic pop.Over more than a decade, both on his own and as leader of Manchester's Montgolfier Brothers, Quigley has developed a distinctive style of composition and delivery. The voice, increasingly rich and sonorous, presides over a backdrop of delicate, repetitive guitar arpeggios and sweeping cello. The mood - soporific, hypnotic - recalls Spiritualized's woozy refrains as well as the likes of Bill Callahan and Leonard Cohen, with whom Quigley has been compared in the past. Regular live collaborators Sophia Lockwood and Otto Smart bolster the music, and there's an appearance by Doves keyboardist Martin Rebelski, who wrote and arranged Let Her Go with Quigley. With a knowing nod to A Man Alone, Sinatra's bleak exposition of love and loss, Before You Left unblinkingly explores the collapse of a relationship with the help of recurring melodic motifs. In a recent blog, former Creation and Poptones boss Alan McGee declared: "With their baroque music, regretful lyrics and northern soulfulness, the Montgolfier Brothers should have been huge". With the release of Before You Left, there's still time to catch up with At Swim Two Birds.

Case Study: My Experience With Financing
Different Benefits That People Can Expect Of Hiring Wealth Management Services
Wealth management is the incorporation of the different investment, taxes and estate plans of clients and would plan it into an all integrated plan to easily achieve their personal goals through correct management of their financial resources. It is a discipline of investment advisory which utilizes financial planning, investment portfolio management and various kinds of financial services that people can easily get to hire for their finances.

Accidents happen every day in New York subway system, and there's a statute of limitations in place for filing a claim against the New York City Transit Authority. Our law firm is well-versed in handling cases against pedestrians injured while in or on the subway. These personal injury cases are complex, and the laws regarding compensation for personal injury victims are strict. Anyone injured on the subway has only 90 days to file a claim with the transit authority before the timeframe expires and no case will be heard in regards to your accident. Our attorneys know how the transit authority works, and we work to ensure our clients don't miss this deadline and the compensation they might be owed for their personal injury case.
New York Subway Accidents
The most common subway accidents include trip and fall accidents. Other accidents in the subway occur, but this is the most common complaint by those injured in the subway. When a person trips and falls along a staircase or on the platform in the subway, serious injury can occur. If this occurs, it's imperative you remember where you were. If you can take photos of the location for proof, that is always helpful to your case. No case is considered worthwhile if the plaintiff in a New York subway accident case cannot discuss the location of the stair or the platform location on which they fell. It makes it impossible to determine the safety or issues at hand to cause the accident in which you were injured.
There are steps to take to ensure your case is as solid as possible if you slip and fall in the subway.
– Call transit police immediately
– Don't move
– Take in any information you can find from where you are, and write it down
– Ask for witnesses to stay where they are to discuss what happened
– See if there was something that might have caused you to slip and fall that's not your own fault
No one has a case against the New York Transit Authority without a solid case. Tripping and falling is not a reason to file a claim against the authority unless negligence played a party in the fall. For example, if a plaintiff falls because their own shoe is untied, they're not watching where they're going and miss a step, they trip on their own, or they trip over someone else, the transit authority is not to blame. Even if there is liquid on a stair or the platform, it's not the fault of the transit authority as so many people are in and out of there in so little time anyone could have spilled anything without the authority being made aware of standing liquid.
This is why it's imperative to take photos of any defects in the steps or on the platform, and to get witnesses and a formal statement by the Transit Police. If it's determined that you have a solid case, you must file a Notice of Claim within 90 days of the date of the accident. Valid reasons to file a suit against the New York Transit Authority after you slip and fall might include:
– Defects in steps or on the platform
– Cracks and broken stairs
– Improper or no construction signs in a construction zone
– Poor lighting
– Broken escalators
– Hidden debris
– Negligent maintenance
If it can be proven that negligence was the cause of your slip and fall, you are owed compensation for your injuries. This compensation can include the cost of any doctor appointments you had since the accident to handle your injuries, medical bills, medications, rehabilitation to recover from your injuries, and even pain and suffering. If you were out of work as a result of your injuries, you're owed lost income.
Slip and fall accidents are not the only cause of injury in the subway. While they're the most common, other factors can cause anyone to suffer injury while on the subway. There are nearly 4 million people on and off the subway on a daily basis, and accidents happen. You might have a case if you're injured because of the following while on the subway:
– Sudden stops
– Crashes
– Injuries sustained in the turn style
– Electrocution
– Operator negligence
– Doors opening and closing
– Negligent security
There's very little the law doesn't cover. A person who is personally injured or assaulted in a subway due to a lack of security guards to stop the act of sexual violence, robbery, or physical assault can sue the subway system for negligence.
The New York Transit Authority is required by law to maintain their transit system with a reasonable duty of care. Any injuries that occur due to a lack of reasonable care can result in a payout to the victim of any negligence that occurs in the subway. Legally defined, Duty of Care means to, "act reasonably so as to avoid injuring other people," and failure to meet this reasonable care means the transit authority is liable for injuries.
Legal Action in Subway Accidents
The best course of action is to prevent a subway accident from occurring. Be vigilant, do not use the subway while distracted, obey all posted warnings and regulations, and watch out for construction signs. It's best to keep yourself safe while assuming the transit authority will do the same. When an accident occurs, don't wait to contact a legal professional. The transit authority works hard to ensure their visitors are safe in their subways but when an accident occurs, it's best to file a claim as quickly as possible.
The legal terms and requirements issued by New York lawmakers aren't always easy to understand, and anyone injured on the subway deserves an attorney who is practiced in the area of personal injury law as it relates to the subway. Our attorneys have the experience needed to handle cases of this nature in a successful manner. Let us help you before time runs out. There's only 90 days to file a claim, and oftentimes the victim of an accident on the subway has so much going on all at once they can't file a claim in a timely fashion. Let our accident attorneys help file your claim as well as a suit so you can focus on your recovery. It's our job to handle your case so you can handle your health, and our attorneys can get the most compensation possible for you to get through this difficult time.

I love this sunblock. Contains natural instead of chemical sunblockers which is great for sensitive skin and the powdered zinc oxide goes on without the ghost face I get from drugstore brands. I use it as a moisturizer before makeup. I have combo/dry skin so I'm not sure how it would work on oily skin.
SPF is always important to apply before makeup! This one has a non greasy finish and blends well with makeup. My only negative is the SPF smell.

I am at the Tata Padukone Badminton Academy in Bangalore. It is 10.30am and I am watching 15 badminton players—champions all—play at a level that most badminton buffs fantasize about. Ahead of me, Ashwini Ponnappa—feline, focused and ferocious—lobs and thrashes the shuttlecock with two male players. Prakash Padukone and Vimal Kumar walk amid the five brightly-lit courts like benign angels, giving soft instructions and demonstrating hand positions. I am not here to watch these national-level players though. I am here to meet a man named Avinash Subramanyam who has come to train these strapping young people using Chinese martial art techniques.
Mind game: Avinash Subramanyam demonstrates a Lian Gong pose. Hemant Mishra / Mint
With the Beijing Olympics, China proved to the world that it could manufacture world-class athletes within a relatively short span of time. Much has been written about the talent scouts who fan out across rural China to identify raw talent. Also well known are China's sports facilities where raw young athletes are trained pretty much to the exclusion of everything else. Less known, however, are the traditional martial art practices still in vogue in China today, especially in sports training. Subramanyam trained under several Chinese masters and this is why I, and Prakash Padukone it seems, are interested in him.
Subramanyam opens by asking the biggest player to come forward. He assumes a Hanuman-like pose—one foot forward and one back—and crouches slightly. "Push me as hard as you can," he tells the 6ft-4-inches-tall lad. "Topple me."
With a slight smirk, the young athlete pushes; and pushes; and finally gives up.
Also Read Shoba's previous Lounge columns
The players who, earlier, were looking slightly bored, now stand upright and gaze at their new trainer with narrowed eyes. "In any sport there are three aspects," Padukone tells me. "The technical, the physical and the mental. In India, we don't pay much attention to preparing sportspersons mentally even though it is as important as the other two."
Films such as Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, as well as legions of martial art films, show that incredible physical feats can be accomplished through mental discipline; by channelling and taming human energy to accomplish what we wish. We Indians call this prana; the Chinese call this chi; and the Japanese call it acting from the hara. Kalaripayattu, which is still practised in Kerala, is said to be the mother of many such martial art disciplines. Kalari practitioners spend years learning breathing techniques such as pranayama and yoga poses to increase their skills as warriors. In Japan, the greatest sensei (masters) say that the physical is only the tip of the iceberg. True excellence in martial arts comes through control of the mind.
Subramanyam calls this connectivity —between mind and body, and between different channels within the body. In other words, badminton players can hit the shuttlecock, not just using the power from their arms and wrists but drawing on the energy from their entire body. "Imagine your impact then?" Subramanyam asks the players.
"Connectivity" and "softness" are terms he uses often. Connecting various energy centres within our body and the softness to take a blow and bounce back. Both these concepts play out in—don't be put off by the long name—Dao Yin Yang Sheng Gong (Dao Yin for short), one of the things that Subramanyam is an expert at. He also has 14 black belts and a slew of other martial art qualifications.
Invented by Zhang Guangde, Dao Yin is a series of poses based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Zhang suffered from lung cancer and was given three months to live. That was over 40 years ago. Today, at 88, he leads entire stadiums full of Dao Yin students through a series of poses that help improve health and longevity. Some call it the elixir of life. Others swear that it reverses ageing. The Master is a testament to its efficacy, they say. Dao Yin has spread to Australia, Europe, the US and UK. But the source is still Beijing, where the man who invented it still lives and works.
A few hundred miles away in Shanghai is another living legend—Zhuang Yuan Ming—who invented a series of 18 movements based on Tai Chi and martial arts. They are called Lian Gong Shi Ba Fa, or Lian Gong for short. Zhuang is 90 years old but to watch him execute the poses he created is to watch a spritely 40-year-old in action. Operating under the auspices of the Shanghai municipal corporation, Zhuang and his students teach his techniques to athletes and senior citizens, students and doctors. Hugely popular in Japan, Lian Gong has also spread to the US and all over the world.
Both Dao Yin and Lian Gong are virtually unknown in India. And both can be relevant in sports training. Still, I wonder, when we have ancient techniques such as pranayama, yoga, and Kalaripayattu, why should we look at Chinese systems? My own answer is that one does not negate the other. Indian athletes should be offered training in yoga and breathing techniques, and also Dao Yin and Tai Chi. What works for one sport and one sportsperson may not work for the other. Tai Chi may be more useful for badminton players while yoga may suit wrestlers. Meditation may help improve the concentration of our chess champions, while Japanese techniques to concentrate the hara-energy may help rifle shooters.
Bottom line: Give our players something...anything to improve their odds of winning. How about world-class training in their sport itself, says my cynical friend. They don't even have that. Maybe these ancient systems will more than make up for that fundamental handicap.

Carbon markets to provide lessons for global biodiversity trade
As we heard earlier today, the world is struggling to come up with an effective global agreement to cut carbon emissions. But the process may actually provide a template for the next big global agreement on biodiversity trading. It's an attempt to get market based solutions to the continuing destruction of the earth's ecosystems and natural resources, and Australia is at the cutting edge with some pilot projects.
That's the view of Dr Josh Bishop, chief economist at the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, or IUCN. He's in Australia for several weeks, talking to the CSIRO and leading Australian companies.

What's New
Dear patients and friends,
We now have the ability to administer pain-free local anesthesia through the use of state-of-the-art "Wand" technology. The numbing medicine is administered using a computer and Wand rather than a syringe, which makes the injection virtually painless.
If your child is playing a contact sport, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry as well as the American Dental Association recommends a sports mouthguard. We are now a distributor of Under Armour Mouthguards. Ask us about it, and we are happy to fit your child with a custom mouthguard.
We now have the ability to detect the presence of some types of decay without taking X-rays. This new technology, utilizing a blue LED light, may reduce your chil's exposure to radiation as well as detect decay at earlier stages of development. Ask us about it!
Warmest regards,

Topic: My Wrecked 95 Civic race car
NOW is your chance to own a much sought after HONG NORRTH race car!!!!! Just needs a little TLC to be a world class race car once again!!!!
A few years ago I built a "serious business" race car. It had a great car running in the SCCA STL class including a top 10 finish at the Runoffs last year. Really had it running good earlier this year at Road Atlanta...
Cool video at Road Atlanta....
Until this not so cool video(forward to 23:20 for the action)...
Squirrel 1.0 has donated all it's good suspension and motor bits to Squirrel 2.0 and the remains of Squirrel 1.0 are sitting in my shop near Atlanta. The car needs a new front clip. Cheap but a lot of work. Pretty much everything from the firewall forward should be repalced. It is setup to drop in a ATL 22 gallon fuel cell. The cage is fantastic.
I'd really like to see it go to a Lemons team. The car was a great race car and I'd love to see it on track again. Unfortunately I have too many projects so this one is just taking up space. I'd like get a few $$$ for the remains as the cage is fantastic. Replace the front clip, radiator, throw in a motor and trans, add some shocks, fuel cell and the multitude of little crap that takes up so much time. Bingo! Race car!
Squirrel 2.0? Here it is..

LONDON — Britain's startle opinion to leave a European Union last
summer has engulfed a UK's tech attention in difficulty — with
concerns over all from visas for unfamiliar workers to the
destiny of appropriation for try collateral firms.
But this hasn't dampened people's certainty about a future
prospects of London, according to a new news from KPMG.
The tellurian consultancy organisation surveyed some-more than 800 "global
record leaders" from around a world, and found that the
British collateral was ranked fifth in terms of up-and-coming global
hubs for a record attention — adult from seventh in 2016's
ranking, before Brexit disharmony began.
Respondents (mostly C-level executives) were asked "In addition
to Silicon Valley/San Francisco, that 3 cities around the
universe will be seen as a heading record creation heart over
a subsequent 4 years?"
In initial place was Shanghai, in China, followed by New York. In
third was Japan's Tokyo, afterwards Beijing, afterwards came London in fifth.
After that it was Washington, Berlin, and Chicago, with Tel Aviv
and Boston tied for ninth place.
In other words, respondents were some-more confident about Britain
than ever, notwithstanding a appearing spook of Brexit.
A word of caution, however: The consult was carried out between
Sep and Nov 2016. That's after Britain voted to leave
a European Union, though before we had any thought about what arrange of
Brexit a UK supervision competence pull for. Prime Minister Theresa
May has given signalled that she intends to pull for a "Hard
Brexit" that prioritises immigration control over unrestricted
entrance to a European singular marketplace — a position that has alarmed
many remainers.
Additionally, a Brexit routine hasn't even rigourously begun yet.
May says she intends to trigger Article 50 by a finish of March,
and even afterwards it'll be dual years (or
maybe longer) until a understanding is hashed out with a EU.
Right now, it's still business as common — despite with a large
assisting of uncertainty.
If Brexit restricts tech companies' use of newcomer employees,
or throws adult regulatory or trade hurdles between Britain and the
as many in a attention fear, it could spin out to be a very
opposite story.
But we have already seen some votes of certainty in a UK's
post-referendum tech industry.
Facebook announced enlargement skeleton in Nov 2016, observant it
dictated to sinecure 500 some-more people in London, while Google
recommitted to skeleton to build a vital new London HQ.
"Despite Brexit, a core attributes that have done a U.K. tech
section so clever and appealing sojourn in place," KPMG pronounced in
a report, "including an extraordinary talent bottom that has a long
lane record of creativity; good infrastructure and facilities;
initial category universities; a fast authorised system; appropriate
mercantile incentives; time section advantages; and an ecosystem of
advisers that support a needs of tech companies."
Before a referendum, a UK tech attention overwhelmingly
upheld remaining partial of a European Union.
Almost 90% of respondents were pro-Remain in one poll.

Manchester Victoria improvements
Your new Manchester Victoria station
We've transformed Manchester Victoria station into a modern and exciting gateway to the city – part of a £1bn+ investment in the north of England. The redevelopment forms a key part of a wider programme of work to increase rail capacity across the north of England, with faster, more frequent services connecting key towns and cities.
Modern and accessible
We've installed a stunning 8500m² roof that arcs over the station's fully refurbished concourse, linking with the original Grade II listed station buildings. The contemporary new roof – made from the same material as the Eden Project – allows natural light into the station, creating a bright and attractive space for passengers.
A new bridge linking the station with the adjoining arena transforms the layout of the concourse, making it easier for train, tram and arena customers to travel around Manchester Victoria. The 60m bridge is fully accessible, offering new and modern retail space at the heart of the station.
New lighting, CCTV and customer information have been installed throughout the station for a safer, brighter and better customer experience. Refurbishment of the original booking office and installation of glazed entrances lift the overall look, feel and usability of Manchester Victoria.
Historical preservation
Manchester Victoria station opened in 1844 and encompasses a number of Grade II listed buildings and features that we have worked to preserve and restore during the redevelopment.
A programme of sympathetic renovations included work on the war memorials, glass dome, Soldiers' Gate, station mosaics, wall map and the familiar glass and iron canopy that runs the length of the station façade.
We've refurbished parts of the original station buildings, making them once again open to the public and creating exciting new retail opportunities.
Better connected
As part of a multi-million-pound upgrade of Greater Manchester's Metrolink network, we've completely remodelled the tram stop at Manchester Victoria, installing four new platforms and an additional track.
For more information on Metrolink upgrades and service information, please visit www.transformationinformation.co.uk.
Keeping you moving
To keep passengers on the move, we worked closely with train and station staff to ensure Manchester Victoria remained operational throughout the redevelopment. We would like to thank the public for their patience and are delighted to give passengers a better station that they can be proud of.

" Joe's" Peppermint Cookies N Cream Brownies
Recipe by appleydapply
Tired of eating Candy-Cane Joe-Joe cookies straight out of the box? Try them in this recipe! (note: this year I've also seen peppermint Oreos, so you could use those if you don't have a Trader Joes near you). These delicious, fudge-y brownies are made with the popular candy-cane chocolate wafer cookie available at Trader Joe's during the holidays. Make these early in the day as they slice best when cooled completely.
Top Review by newtocookingmandm
I was so excited to try this recipe! I used a boxed Betty Crocker brownie mix because easy and they always come out perfect! I was sad Trader Joe's was out of peppermint Joe Joe's, we bought a box a couple weeks ago and loved them but they said sell out fast. I used mint Oreo's which has a light green filling. I sprinkled crushed candy cane on top, how ever you couldn't see much of it at the end. It was there when I checked the brownies but after I reset the timer for 5 more min they all sank into the brownie- I was bummed so not many pretty red pieces on mine. However now that I see a few of the candy cane pieces it looks a little funny melted so I might like better not adding? Maybe I should sprinkle very crushed pieces on top after cooked? The Oreos crushed on top didn't look pretty and were soft Not a crunchy topping so I think next time I wont crush them for the top so it looks prettier, but maybe I didn't like the look of mine because mine were light green filling. Anyway they taste wonderful and that's what counts. I really enjoyed them cold out of the fridge more then served at room temp. Thanks for the fun idea I will make again next Christmas!

The API/JSON interface is great! However, it requires a login to use. This makes it especially inconvenient when developing additional interfaces like a dashboard.

akp982 is an IT service provider.
This is on the way checkout the fr section community.spiceworks.com/feature_request/ and spice it up.

To be helpful, do you have a direct link to the feature. Searching for "json" and looking at everything under "Plugins and API" has turned up fruitless.
I'd rather not create a new one since you say it's already on the way.

|[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-1522) another highlighter
|Tue, 17 Mar 2009 09:30:50 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1522?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12682609#action_12682609 ] Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-1522: -------------------------------------------- {quote} > It'd be sort of like a positional-aware "explain", ie "show me the term > occurrences that allowed the full query to accept this document". FWIW, this is more or less how the KinoSearch highlighter now works in svn trunk. It doesn't use a Scorer, though, but instead the KS analogue to Lucene's "Weight" class. The (Weight) is fed what is essentially a single doc index, using stored term vectors. Weight.highlightSpans() returns an array of "span" objects, each of which has a start offset, a length, and a score. The Highlighter then processes these span objects to create a "heat map" and choose its excerpt points. The idea is that by delegating responsibility for creating the scoring spans, we make it easier to support arbitrary Query implementations with a single Highlighter class. {quote} Awesome! Do you require term vectors to be stored, for highlighting (cannot re-analyze the text)? For queries that normally do not use positions at all (simple AND/OR of terms), how does your highlightSpans() work? For BooleanQuery, is coord factor used to favor fragment sets that include more unique terms? Are you guaranteed to always present a net set of fragments that "matches" the query? (eg the example query above). I think the base litmus test for a hightlighter is: if one were to take all fragments presented for a document (call this a "fragdoc") and make a new document from it, would that document match the original query? In fact, I think the perfect highlighter would "logically" work as follows: take a single document and enumerate every single possible fragdoc. Each fragdoc is allowed to have maxNumFragments fragments, where each fragment has a min/max number of characters. The set of fragdocs is of course ridiculously immense. Take this massive collection of fragdocs and build a new temporary index, then run your Query against that index. Many of the fragdocs would not match the Query, so they are eliminated right off (this is the litmus test). Then, of the ones that do, you want the highest scoring fragdocs. Obviously you can't actually implement a highlighter like that, but I think "logically" that is the optimal highlighter that we are trying to emulate with more efficient implementations. I think having the Query/Weight/Scorer class be the single-source for hits, explanation & highlight spans is the right approach. Having a whole separate package trying to reverse-engineer where matches had taken place between Query and Document is hard to get right. EG BooleanScorer2's coord factor would naturally/correctly influence the selection. I also think building a [reduced, just Postings] IndexReader API on top of TermVectors ought to be a simple way to get great performance here. > another highlighter > ------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-1522 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1522 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: contrib/highlighter > Reporter: Koji Sekiguchi > Assignee: Michael McCandless > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.9 > > Attachments: colored-tag-sample.png, LUCENE-1522.patch, LUCENE-1522.patch > > > I've written this highlighter for my project to support bi-gram token stream (general token stream (e.g. WhitespaceTokenizer) also supported. see test code in patch). The idea was inherited from my previous project with my colleague and LUCENE-644. This approach needs highlight fields to be TermVector.WITH_POSITIONS_OFFSETS, but is fast and can support N-grams. This depends on LUCENE-1448 to get refined term offsets. > usage: > {code:java} > TopDocs docs = searcher.search( query, 10 ); > Highlighter h = new Highlighter(); > FieldQuery fq = h.getFieldQuery( query ); > for( ScoreDoc scoreDoc : docs.scoreDocs ){ > // fieldName="content", fragCharSize=100, numFragments=3 > String[] fragments = h.getBestFragments( fq, reader, scoreDoc.doc, "content", 100, 3 ); > if( fragments != null ){ > for( String fragment : fragments ) > System.out.println( fragment ); > } > } > {code} > features: > - fast for large docs > - supports not only whitespace-based token stream, but also "fixed size" N-gram (e.g. (2,2), not (1,3)) (can solve LUCENE-1489) > - supports PhraseQuery, phrase-unit highlighting with slops > {noformat} > q="w1 w2" > w1 w2 > --------------- > q="w1 w2"~1 > w1 w3 w2 w3 w1 w2 > {noformat} > - highlight fields need to be TermVector.WITH_POSITIONS_OFFSETS > - easy to apply patch due to independent package (contrib/highlighter2) > - uses Java 1.5 > - looks query boost to score fragments (currently doesn't see idf, but it should be possible) > - pluggable FragListBuilder > - pluggable FragmentsBuilder > to do: > - term positions can be unnecessary when phraseHighlight==false > - collects performance numbers -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
