Naredo, ABS-CBN News Posted at Dec 06 2018 06:07 PM Share Save Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Next season, Juan Gomez de Liano (right) will have a star-laden supporting cast that can give Thirdy Ravena and the Blue Eagles a serious run for their money. George Calvelo, ABS-CBN MANILA, Philippines—University of the Philippines' run to the UAAP Season 81 finals was the feel-good story of the year, as the Fighting Maroons ended a 32-year wait to return to the biggest stage in collegiate basketball. Their Cinderella story was ended by a remarkable Ateneo de Manila University team in the finals, with the Blue Eagles simply overwhelming the Fighting Maroons in two games. Game 2 was a showcase of Ateneo's excellence: they crushed their Katipunan neighbors 99-81 to win a second straight crown. When the series was over, the Blue Eagles were elated and thrilled, having added a 10th title to their collection. Matt Nieto leapt to the officials' table, and was wildly cheered for it. Thirdy Ravena, the finals MVP, spread his arms, as if he could embrace the entire Ateneo gallery in his happiness. On the other side of the court, there were tears for the Fighting Maroons — tears for their loss, tears for the end of their campaign, and tears for their graduating captain, Paul Desiderio, who inspired not just the team but the entire UP community, and gave them a rallying cry that will live on for years. There were tears, yes, yet there was also an overflowing sense of hope, of optimism, as if the final buzzer of Game 2 marked not the end but just the beginning for a UP team that can only get better and better. UP coach Bo Perasol felt that hope. He had been vocal about wanting to change his alma mater's basketball program, and had wanted to fire up the community that had for so long been aloof to the plight of the Maroons, as the team dwelled in mediocrity. On Wednesday, a crowd of more than 23,000 watched them play at the Araneta Coliseum, more than half of them clad in maroon. None of them left, even as UP succumbed to the Blue Eagles. Instead, they all celebrated a season that went better than anyone expected, and paid tribute to the players that made it possible. "We have to focus on the whole season," said Perasol, whose post-game speech to his team has gone viral. "We cannot just be myopic, and say that we lost the game." "Of course, we lost the finals, but I think that all in all, we became champions in our own rights," he said. Perasol is aware that his team's incredible run in Season 81 is only setting the stage for what should be an even wilder, even more intense campaign in Season 82. They will lose Desiderio, and to be sure they will miss his scoring, his clutch heroics, and his fiery leadership. They will lose four other seniors, but UP will welcome a couple of recruits that they have been waiting for a year now — Ricci Rivero and Kobe Paras. Rivero and Paras need no introduction, and their addition will make UP not just a final 4 team in Season 82. They should be a finals contender, and Perasol knows it. "I'm so excited about my prospects. Kung ang expectation mas mataas ngayon, how much more is that going to be?" he said. "There's no question, hey, when they ask you, it's going to be the finals, now. Not the final 4." "So, it's about the finals when we go back in there. And even if I say it's final 4, nobody is going to believe me now," added Perasol, who has taken UP from sixth, to fifth, and now to runners-up in his three years in charge. On the other side of Katipunan, they are all too aware that their vanquished foes will be back with a vengeance. -- 'Dangerous team' -- Coach Tab Baldwin made the adjustments in Game 2. He saw how the Blue Eagles won by just nine points in the first game, and saw how UP made 13-of-28 three-pointers. He had not been satisfied with how they defended, with all the open shots they gave up. "I think we learned some things from Game 1. I think there were some strategies that were fairly apparent from UP which we made some adjustments to," Baldwin said after their triumph. "I think that's why you saw a little bit more individual play, particularly from Thirdy, a little more isolation play." Despite Ateneo's adjustments, UP still put up 81 points in Game 2; Ateneo's offense was just better. Baldwin came away from the series impressed by the Fighting Maroons, acknowledging that it was tough even for his superb defensive team to shut them down. "They are a force to be reckoned with," he said, "And I don't think they are going to get any easier next year." "Next year" is already in the minds of Baldwin's players, even as they bask in the glow of their latest championship. It is no secret that Rivero and Paras will join UP in Season 82, and the Blue Eagles are well aware of what those two are capable of. "It's a very dangerous team," said Matt Nieto. "They will be a tough team next year, and we expect that it's gonna be a hard time for us na kalaban ang UP." The experience that the Maroons gained in the Season 81 finals can only help them, Nieto said, and further fire them up. "I'm very excited for them. Not excited na lalakas sila, pero I'm excited for them na they really have the heart, they have the skill, they have the personnel to win a championship next year," he said. His twin brother, Mike, said: "It's just the start for them." "Next year, with Ricci and Kobe coming in, they'll just become stronger," added Mike. Paras and Rivero are the big additions, but those who remain in UP are no slouches themselves. Juan Gomez de Liano, a Mythical Team member in just his second year, should be even better, as is older brother Javi. Veteran point guard Jun Manzo will surely try to live up to the "Atin 'To" legacy of Desiderio, his good friend from Cebu. And Bright Akhuetie, the MVP, will still be there, to anchor the Fighting Maroons. -- Rematch? -- As early as now, there are murmurs that UP and Ateneo are headed for a finals rematch. Juan GDL already advocated for it, especially as the Fighting Maroons went 0-4 against their Katipunan neighbors this year. And as stacked as UP will be in 2019, it's not as if Ateneo will take a massive step back, either. The defending champions will only lose veteran guard Anton Asistio; they will still have Ravena, the Nieto twins, rookie of the year Ange Kouame, and a bevy of veterans that include Isaac Go and Raffy Verano. The Blue Eagles may be as deep as ever in Season 82. The champions insist that it's a little too early to think of the "Battle of Katipunan: Part 2", however. "We'll have to figure that out," said Ravena. "But as of now, we're gonna enjoy and cherish every single moment of our championship. Probably about next week or next, next week, andoon na 'yung mindset namin." Besides, it's not as if UP will be the only threats to their reign, said Ravena. "Hindi lang UP ang malakas. There are a lot of teams na nagi-improve from this year, so we can only work harder kasi makikita natin na hard work works," he said earnestly. "Kapag ganoon, bakit mo papalitan? So keep working hard." Matt Nieto pointed out that both teams have to reach the finals first, certainly not an easy undertaking. "Ayaw ko mag-predict," he said. "Pero paghihirapan namin na bumalik sa Finals." And should they get there? "Why not? Why not UP? Ang ganda ng series, ang ganda ng mga laban, and the fans," Matt said. "It's really fun playing against Juan, Javi, mga Atenista, actually mga kakampi namin dati. It's fun that you see them improving, and it's fun na makakalaban mo sila." None of this, of course, is certain. There is a year to go before Season 82, and so many things can happen. University of Santo Tomas and De La Salle University, two teams that missed the final 4, are looming on the horizon, determined to crash the party. Adamson University and Far Eastern University, the beaten semifinalists, will want write their own fairy tale next year, too. And for all their struggles in Season 81, University of the East and National University cannot be discounted. What is certain is that Ateneo is already bracing for UP, for Ricci and Kobe, for Juan and Javi GDL, for coach Bo Perasol. They see the other side of Katipunan and they know that this is a rivalry that may no longer be so one-sided. And they know they have to be ready. "It motivates us," Matt said. "It drives us more to work hard, because we know that UP is gonna bounce back." "We will be ready for Season 82," he vowed. For more sports coverage, visit the ABS-CBN Sports website.

Parasites can be nasty little critters, but there is at least one species of isopod that "repays" its host in a bizarre way. An isopod called Cymothoa exigua targets the rose snapper, slipping through its gills and clamping onto its tongue. After eating the organ, the contented parasite remains in the fish's mouth, providing the fish with all the functions of the original tongue, including grinding food against the teeth on the roof of the snapper's mouth.
Marine biologist Rick Brusca of the University of Arizona says that while there are hundreds of such tongue-targeting isopods in nature, only C. exigua can actually assume the duties of the consumed organ.

As I was making my way to the gym ("Be It Resolved") after Ash Wednesday Service – big smudge of ashes across my brow, I got to thinking that Lent is a season whose time may finally have come! As I began my workout I was the only one with a cross on my forehead, but I was NOT the only one bearing a mark upon my brow.
You can see all over people's faces now. The wrinkles of uncertainty, the furrows of self-reflection, the down-cast countenances of people deeply involved in soul-searching. The signs of these tough economic times are played out on the brows of men and women everywhere. People are now being forced to confront all those problems they have been able to avoid by simply throwing away more money (or credit). Those days of grandiose self-indulgence and avoidance are gone – as are the fortunes, security, and homes of so many. The days ahead are full of doubts and uncertainty for a lot of people who are not ready for it. Everyone is being asked to consider both how we got where we are and what we might yet need to do to get out of it all. Some are even beginning to contemplate their own complicity in all this. Regardless, the deeper these friends, neighbours, strangers and acquaintances are forced to look, the bigger the creases and furrows grow. Yes the signs are everywhere!
But that is also why Lent, and those of us who regularly observe it may be of some use! We are accustomed to bearing the marks of personal reflection and soul-searching. At least twice a year we devote an entire season of the church year to just such spiritual exercises. We don't always like what we see when we get there, but we are at least willing to look. And why? It's as obvious as the sign upon your forehead.
You see, while no less complicit in the affairs of this world … no less burdened and troubled by all that goes on around us … no less saddened by the continual hardships faced by friends and relatives, neighbours and even strangers … the mark we bear is not one of doubt or futility. It is a mark of hope, and certainty! As strange as it may sound, Lent can be a wonderful comfort to those who are burdened by fears and faults. It can provide a renewed breath of life and hope to those suffocating under the weight of their burdens and anxieties. And it can do all this because Lent shines forth the sign of the cross like no other season I know.
"You are dust and to dust you shall return." Yes, I am guilty. Yes I deserve nothing. But God in His love and grace has given me a sign. A sign marked upon my head and my heart. He has given me His Son and His great victory upon the cross. He has shown me the way out. He has shone forth the bright beacon of hope and joy in the face of so much darkness, both within and around me. For in that cross He has canceled the debt of my sin. In that cross He has erased my complicity. In Holy Baptism (where the sign of the cross was first inscribed on my head and heart) He has adopted me into His family and has granted me an eternal home, more beautiful than any dwelling this side of Eden.
Therefore I will gladly bear this mark upon my life. The cross of Christ Jesus happily smudged upon my brow, to be a sign for our times. A sign of relief for those who suffer the mark of sin in their lives.

"The White Space" of Olivia Cronk's "Skin Horse" and Gunnar Björling's "Where I Know That You"
by Johannes Goransson on Sep.10, 2012
One of the cliches of contemporary poetry is to talk about "the white space" of the page that surrounds the poem's words as a kind of "silence." I thought about this for the first time in forever when I re-read Olivia Cronk's Skin Horse last night.
In Olivia's book, there are a lot of poems with "you" erased:
Is there a worm in [blank] wound? When [blank] bring it up to [blank] mouth, it is so natural. It slips so nicely in. It is now
some aways off
in some town
[Note: I put in "[blank]"to show where there's a blank space, but in the book there are just plain blank spaces.]
I love how the blanked out yous bleed into the linebreaks, so that I get this vertigo of "you" all over the page. Suddenly that "white space" is incredibly loudly "you." Everywhere. The erased becomes overpowering, hidden behind every part of the page.
It is something similar to what happens in Finland Swedish modernist Gunnar Björling's erasure-based poems.
From the second section of "Where I know that you" (from 1935!) (for the whole thing go here):
O sure there are,
and every human.
– you
and have a face.
I – and until I lie down
I – that one word
I – that with your features.
Never saw I
as in the morning
Here I have always been amazed at the way "saw" becomes transformed into white space, as if seeing become this act that totally eradicated the possibility of language, as if the I-you relationship has to be represented by "I/you." But more importantly, how the blank looking then kind of goes all over the page, as in Cronk's poem, looking looks back at us in some way.

An implant-supported bridge is similar to a regular dental bridge, but it is supported by implants and not by natural teeth. An implant bridge is used when more than one tooth is missing. It also may be used when your dentist is concerned that you might put too much pressure on individual implants that are not connected to each other. For example, clenching or grinding your teeth can put a lot of pressure on individual implants. This can increase the chances that they will loosen from the bone and fail. An implant-supported bridge reduces the pressure on the individual implants in the bone, and spreads it across the entire bridge.
Unlike dentures, both implants and bridges are permanent, non-removable replacements for your missing teeth. The difference between an implant and a bridge is how the new teeth are held in place. Implants stand alone, while bridges use your existing teeth to secure the replacements. Visually, there is little difference. We help you select the option that's right for you, depending on your personal preferences and the condition of your other teeth.
What are the advantages of an implant bridge?
It is cemented in and is a permanent fixture in your mouth instead of a denture which needs to be removed daily.
What are the advantages of an implant?
The major advantages of dental implants are, you do not use the neighboring teeth to support the replacement of the missing tooth and implants are considered the only permanent restoration in dentistry; they should never have to be replaced.
Dr. Philipp will help you determine if an implant is the right choice for you.

Mission Statement
The Global Z Recording Project seeks to serve and improve the socio-cultural good of mankind by embracing diversity, encouraging democratic practices, fostering dialogue, and promoting peace through out-of-the-box, educational, youth-oriented music-related projects.
The World Needs Organizations Like Global Z
The world is full of conflict and rife with culture clash. The daily media is filled with stories of destructive minds who are unwilling to accept culturally and philosophically diverse others. Being 'different' from these individuals can result in ostracism, abuse, assault, homicide and genocide.
The Global Z Recording Project team seeks to effect a positive holistic change by educating and mentoring exceptional young musicians from around the world in a safe virtual community of practice.
Music is the perfect vehicle for facilitating social change. When people are united in a musical project it creates familial bonds and forms a community of practice. By carefully designing a team-minded, dialoguing, equitable, virtual social environment, our young musicians explore their own cultures and philosophies while exploring the cultures, religions, practices and politics of others. The Global Z experience is designed by internationally recognized scholars and subject matter experts, which provides our participants with the necessary skills and knowledge to evolve into peace-minded, accepting, global citizens and leaders of tomorrow.
Areas of Focus
The Global Z Recording Project is focused on addressing goals pertaining to the fields of:
- Peace Education & Development
- Cultural Awareness
- World Arts Education
- Musical Artist Development
- Recording Arts
What's In a Name?
Why the 'Z' in Global Z? In algebra, the letter z can be an unknown and can represent many things (numbers). As our mission reaches across numerous cultural, political, gender, racial, religious, philosophical, and geospatial boundaries, our project will undoubtedly face a number of 'unknowns.'
In audio terminology, 'Z' represents impedance, or a level of resistance. Similar to the analogy provided using algebraic terms, as we deal with international, intercultural, multilingual projects around the globe, we will face resistance from a variety of sources.
Whether the reference to Z be unknowns or impedance, both forms of Z hold the potential to provide for interesting, educational, and exciting intercultural exploration and music-making opportunities!

If you have started to make your own fresh pasta, then you may be looking for some ideas for meals you can make with your creation. I have recently got a pasta making machine and the first meal I wanted to create was a ravioli using some of our favourite family ingredients. I decided to make a cream cheese and spinach ravioli with a garlic mushroom butter and salad. It is relatively easy to make, just a bit fiddly. Here is how to make a cream cheese and spinach ravioli with a garlic mushroom butter.
Ingredients for Pasta
- 10 oz/ 280 g pasta flour or plain flour
- 4 eggs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 beaten egg for sealing the ravioli
Ingredients for the Spinach and Ricotta Filling
- 250g tub of cream cheese
- 2 large handfuls of spinach, chopped
- Black pepper
Ingredients for Garlic Mushroom Butter
- 6 button mushrooms, finely chopped
- 2 oz butter
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 1 tsp olive oil
How to Make Fresh Pasta
- Measure out the flour and add the salt. Mix together.
- Tip the flour and salt onto the work surface in a heap and make a well in the middle.
- Add the eggs and the olive oil to the centre of the well.
- Start to bind the mixture together using your hand and working in a little more flour each time.
- When you have formed a solid ball of pasta dough, knead for five minutes.
- Wrap the dough in cling film and rest for 20 minutes.
- After resting, unwrap the dough and divide into four balls.
- Flour your work surface and dust the dough balls with flour.
- If you are using a rolling pin, then roll out the dough thinly. You should be able to see the work surface through the pasta.
- If you are using a pasta making machine. then press one ball of dough at a time into a rectangular shape with your hand.
- Set the pasta machine to its widest setting and roll one piece of pasta through at a time.
- Adjust the pasta machine down a few settings and repeat. Continue to do this until you are on the second to last setting of the machine. The pasta should then be thin enough.
- Cut the pasta into discs using a round cookie cutter or the end of a small tumbler glass.
How to Make the Cream Cheese and Spinach Filling
- Add the cream cheese to a saucepan over a medium heat and stir around until it begins to melt.
- Add the chopped spinach and stir through. This will almost immediately begin to wilt.
- Season with black pepper and then reduce to a low heat while you make the garlic mushroom butter.
How to Make the Garlic Mushroom Butter
- Add the olive oil and butter to a pan and put over a medium heat. The oil will help to stop the butter burning to the pan.
- Add the crushed garlic cloves and cook for a minute.
- Add the chopped button mushrooms to the pan and cook for a further five minutes.
How to Make Cream Cheese and Spinach Ravioli
- Beat an egg in a cup and use a pastry brush to brush egg along the edges of the pasta discs. This will help the edges to stick together.

An Ecclesiastical History
An Ecclesiastical History
Publication Date: April 5, 2010
Chapter: English Literature During The Middle Ages
Any Anthology about the history of the English language is gonna start with Bede. One of the first major works by an English author, his "Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum" is of ridiculously historic importance, giving us names, dates, and places that would have otherwise been lost to the ravages of time. It's also very, very dull.
I tried to draw a comic about it but kept coming up empty. As such, you just get this single introduction to "Lit Brick" as a whole, as well as its fictional author, Molly, with a little potshot at Bede thrown in for good measure, because you can never throw enough little potshots at Bede.
Author: Bede • Year: 731 • Info: Wikipedia

|Braves v Rockies
The first game I went to was for one of Bryan's roommate's, David's, birthday. We saw the Braves beat the Rockies, and our whole group got on the jumbotron. We also had awesome seats in the outfield, so I would say it was a pretty A+ day. A couple weeks later, my girlfriends and I went to see the Braves play the Mariners, which also was Kayla's first ever Braves game. The Braves lost (ugh), but we still had great seats, and we stayed after the game for the Austin Mahone (I know, like, one whole song.) concert, so it was still solid day at Turner Field.

Spider Vein Treatment
Any vein has the capacity to become varicose. However, the veins that are most likely to become affected are the legs and feet. Walking and standing upright causes an increase in pressure in those parts of the body.
A positive is that both varicose veins and spider veins — similar to varicose veins, but smaller and found closer to the skin's surface — are merely a cosmetic issue that usually doesn't cause any health hazards. However, in some cases, varicose and spider veins can cause pain and discomfort, and can sometimes lead to more serious issues.
This is why we at TI Body Solutions offer high-quality varicose vein treatment to all our Scottsdale customers.
Varicose Veins Symptoms
The usual signs that you have varicose veins include:
- Your veins start to turn dark purple or blue
- Your veins are swollen, twisted and have meandering shape
The usual signs that you have varicose veins include:
- Heavy feeling in your legs
- Achy legs
- Burning sensation in your lower legs
- Throbbing and muscle cramping
- Swelling in your lower legs
- Pain peaks after sitting or standing for longer periods of time
- The itch around the veins
- Bleeding from varicose or spider veins
- A more youthful look.
- Red discoloration of the skin around your veins
- Hardening of the veins
- Inflammation of the skin near your ankle
Varicose Veins Treatment
Fortunately, varicose veins and spider vein treatment isn't a long, complicated and arduous process. Nowadays, there are less invasive procedures that can treat varicose veins with great success.
TI Body Solutions offers perhaps the best treatment for varicose veins in Scottsdale. If you have troubles with this annoying and possibly dangerous vein condition and you want to get rid of these quickly and painlessly, do not hesitate to make an appointment with us.

In this tutorial I will describe how to set up postfix and maildir which can automatically replicate email when email is delivered. We will not touch the postfix configuration at all. we will manipulate maildir directory behavior using ChironFS, instead.
what is ChironFS?
This the Chiron Filesystem. It is a Fuse based filesystem. It's main purpose is to guarantee filesystem availability using replication. But it isn't a RAID implementation. RAID replicates DEVICES not FILESYSTEMS.
Things we need before installing chironfs
- fuse
- fuse-devel
- fuse-libs
- ChironFS source/binary from here
Compile ChironFS source
$ rpmbuild --rebuild chironfs-1.0.0-1.fc8.src.rpm $ rpm -ivh /path/to/chironfs-1.0.0-1.fc12.rpm

Erik Wernquist's Wanderers offers some perspective.
Erik Wernquist's Wanderers offers some perspective.
I had a few Processing sketches that I've made and never took the trouble to document or record in some way lying around. So here we go: this is a short video with minimal editing that showcases what I called an Audio-controlled Directional Delayer. You can check the code in my Processing 3.x Github repository.
What it does is to render each frame as a set of rows or columns copied from a specific frame in a 150-frame buffer (or more, if you want). From how far back in that buffer will that row or column be retrieved is mapped to the audio input level. Sometimes a high amplitude will also trigger a mode change (horizontal/vertical).
Here's another example, using a couple of videos I recorded at the local market. The audio track was hastly assembled from TB Arthur's free sound library, by the way.
Jason K. Smith's Beautiful Programming is a great collection of P5.js sketches.
Pity film critics that dislike most movies they see, for I enjoyed most pictures I watched throughout 2016. Of course, watching movies in a theatre is one of the things I like best in life, and I have the benefit of choosing what I am likely to like, an attitude that may be criticized as unadventurous, or as choosing to inhabit a cinematic echo chamber, but well — life is too short and Cinema too big for my time to be spent on movies I'm not much sure I'd like. I won't rank these few movies I particularly liked in 2016, for I think comparing works of art is often like comparing eagles to motorcycles — absurd.
Richard Linklater's Everybody Wants Some!! proved that the Texan director is American cinema's master humanist. Whereas teenage movies often requires the protagonist to be an underdog and sports jocks to be one-dimensional antagonists, in this movie Linklater revels in an earnest admiration of jock-ness and the constant insecurities and competition that come with it. Of course, Adam McKay's The Big Short, then, seems to throw jocks and underdogs together long after they graduated, presenting Big Finance's excesses and Finance-jocks comeuppance as entertainment for the proles, but McKay's film based in Michael Lewis' investigation succeeds in explaining the 2008 Financial Crisis very very well, even if aided by blunt cinematic devices, which is no ordinary feat. That it didn't have a political impact is shocking but unfortunately was quite expected.
Of course, jocks' community does approach meritocracy (that guy did manage to slice the baseball with an axe while others watched), but away from sports that meritocracy is but a practical joke the privileged under neoliberalism inflicted upon the proles. The sick consequences were eloquently presented in Cannes winner I, Daniel Blake, but I found Ken Loach's film a little bit too straight and tidy. In the same vein I'd favor the messier La Loi du Marché / The Measure of a Man by Stéphane Brizé, which replaces Loach's tale of martyrdom by a scarier tale of conformity, in which the protagonist ends up accepting a job as guard labor rather than keep on fighting for his rights to the bitter end. Which is worse? Both movies are masterpieces about neoliberal awfulness.
People sometimes push back though, by all means including violence, and David Mackenzie's Hell or High Water is probably among the finest examples of what might be a justified return of the Western, as the 21st century is shaping to be like the 19th. All the ingredients were there: ghost towns, bank robberies, concealed guns, moral ambiguity — people taking the side of the robbers rather than the banks', confounding Jeff Bridges excellent sheriff character; only the horses were replaced by automobiles.
There was an oscillation between bleakness and levity in the movies I chose to watch in 2016. The Coens' Hail, Caesar! was, along with Everybody Wants Some!! perhaps the most fun I had in a theatre all year, even if it relies too heavily in its viewers' knowledge and fondness for 1950s film. But Whit Stillman's Love & Friendship was also a joy to watch, by the relentless pace and wit of his Jane Austen adaptation. Some movies did marry the bleakness and the levity, though — Terrence Malick's Knight of Cups was both grim and pleasurable, one of the most L.A. movies I remember watching, as if Malick took the entire Bojack Horseman series and made a two-hour movie. And nobody films like Terrence Malick.
A note also about Isabelle Huppert, who shined through 2016, not only starring and making Mia Hansen Love's Things to Come, but also making Paul Verhoeven's Elle, a probable masterpiece which I'm still deeply perplexed about.
There was also a number of movies I now consider masterpieces I didn't get to watch until 2016. Peter Bogdanovich's The Last Picture Show is an incredible picaresque set in an isolated town, whereas another picaresque, Whit Stillman's Barcelona has that quality I admire so much about Stillman's early work, which is that it feels like watching Peanuts comics with an adult cast. Then I also watched Orson Welles' F for Fake for the first time, and can't really believe how long it took. It's the perfect movie for 2016, a year in which nothing was real, all was fraud, fakery, deceit, and rooms full of mirrors.
(That last one is from Lady from Shangai, actually.)
I would also like to write a few lines about television: I'd say Bojack Horseman was the Best Show on Television (or at least on Netflix), an animated treatise on existentialism unmatched by much of what passes for Serious Cinema.
Halt and Catch Fire has also been one of my very favorite shows after its second season put an end to its early Mad Men, but in the computer industry intentions and allowed it to become its own show — an incredible study of creativity and its conflicts. Mr. Robot, which had a peerless first season in 2015, may had had a very slow start to its second season, marred by the troubles of writing to audiences that, since watching Fight Club, know and expect too! damn! much!, but once the last few episodes get going, delivers what will be one of the greatest twists in television — one that once again sets the bar even higher for Mr. Robot's next season. In the meantime, Louis C.K. made a break from his great namesake show to sell us his and Steve Buscemi's Horace and Pete, well worth the price of admission, in what I hope is a new trend of high-quality indie television.
And then there was Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror. I can't really say I was that fond of its third season, finding most episodes revisiting ideas better explored in earlier seasons. But there was Episode #4, San Junipero: with an unrelentless positive vibe, it presented a twist on Black Mirror itself, and it presented a twist on 2016. Overall, perhaps, my favorite moving image piece of the entire year.
I didn't read much in proper book form during 2016. I would highlight Hubert Dreyfus and Sean Dorrance Kelly's examination of the Western canon All Things Shining, J. A. Baker's beautifully thorough observation of (of all things) hawks The Peregrine (so I guess I'm a member of the Werner Herzog Book Club now), and, as my hard sci-fi fix, Kim Stanley Robinson's Aurora. I've only recently started Richard Fariña's picaresque Been Down So Long it Looks Like Up to Me but, oboy, ain't it a cool read.
Mostly, though, I've been carrying my Kobo Aura (an ereader which I do recommend) around and reading articles saved for later online. Here's a list of those worth a mention:
On our anarcho-capitalist society:
On art, film and media:
On design and technology:
In retrospect, quite a large proportion of articles are too 2016, weltschmerz and outrage inducing texts. Not that they aren't thoughtful — or, should you disagree, representative of my particular filter bubble — but perhaps I should stop reading so disproportionally much about politics and economics. No good sleep lies that way.
It took me forever just to write this short sentence about 2016, such a year it was. Surely it wasn't the worst year in human history, as many hyperbolic posts on social media would have me believe, but it wasn't just a fine year in which, by coincidence, too many esteemed celebrities died. For 2016 was a year of horrible politics, the kind of hair-raising, chilling politics one thought was in the fringe; remote ideas unable to overcome a common sense shared by a large majority. Brexit and the election of Donald trumped whatever confidence one could have that our neighbors in Western Civilization (if such a thing ever existed) wouldn't send the Gestapo on us just because.
One can try to frame those bad things that happened in 2016 as dark jokes, as Charlie Brooker does so eloquently in his 2016 Wipe end of year rant, but there is no entertainment to be had.
2016 shattered the belief, even in a faraway corner such as Portugal, that the nicest people one knew wouldn't become racist, classist, sexist trolls once they opened Twitter or Facebook or a newspaper's website. I really started to question the benefits of hyper-connectedness, much before I even heard a friend, hooked on confirmation bias, state that vigilance against 'fake news' is all about censoring the 'real news' fake news sites provide. To which I say, it's all real for all I care, because real or fake, local or international, it's all horrible. The comments do feel real and make me wonder: should I drop dead because I'm from Southern Europe in a country where they have a Socialist government? Should I drop dead because I'm in academia? Am I an insect, a leech, because I was for a couple of months on benefits before being a public servant with a meager paycheck and a temporary contract?
In 2016 it often felt as if harassment was being legitimized, then vindicated by politics. And as a cis-hetero white male, what to do? Speaking out with the best intentions is often framed as illegitimate _splaining, a ridiculous way to frame things in a year in which we found out arguments don't matter, much less the writer. I'll just leave this here:
Judging people whose lives and actions you don't know anything about is wrong.
(Except in traffic. Tailgating assholes deserve judgement.)
In Portugal in 2011 we had a very nasty election in which the prevailing right-wing turned old against new, public workers against private workers, rich against poor. Our current government is, against all odds, managing to heal these divides bit by bit, against all the fanaticism of a media thirsty for some kind of war. However in 2016 all those rifts exploded everywhere, across every single line that could become contentious — race, nationality, gender, sex, religion. That Dark Enlightenment which openly articulates a desire to go back to absolutism, as recently as a couple of years ago was just a lunatic twinkle in some solipsists' eye (long live King Thiel I). Then comes 2016 and it seems to have become public policy from the United States to Brazil, from Hungary to Russia, from Turkey to the Philippines. Can we trust each other? It's as if while our societies were made deeply afraid of the Islamic State, our own next door neighbors became as radicalized, only about things other than religion, and mercifully still only wielding tweets and votes rather than explosives.
Is this social media's endgame? Filter bubbles and confirmation biases so heavy they implode into black holes of hatred?
Is that why we haven't found alien civilizations? They go extinct because they invented nuclear weapons, poison their climates, and then invent Facebook? That which extra-dimensional archaeologists call the Technological Sandwich of Doom?
Then fuck social media.
Fuck it. Fill social networks with bots and IFTTT recipes, feed Facebook and Twitter back to themselves until they too implode in a blackhole of bullshit that vacuums all the fake news, along with a few media conglomerates just for safety.
Hence the despair, often feigned, but often real, at the deaths of beloved celebrities like David Bowie, Prince, or Carrie Fisher. Those were artists and performers of The Future, therefore a literally dying Future, crashing our old but reassuring collective belief in a Whig sense of Progress. Without Bowie or Prince, who or what stands for A Better Future?
Vaporwave? C'mon.
So it was bit weird to be living in Portugal while 2016 happened. Internal politics were the opposite of whatever happened in international news: in 2016 we had a Socialist government supported by Communists and Trotskiites in parliament and by a hyperactive right-wing President (and former TV personality!) who has so far been doing the utmost to be decent and respectful of differences. Such good karma visited Portugal that its football national team even won the Euro, in the bestest! imaginable victory (winning < against France < in France < without Ronaldo < with a goal scored by Éder, who has the footballing ability of Ronaldo's right kidney).
Not that everything was rosy. Job precarity remains the norm, salaries remain miserable for the bottom 90%, and the government's left-wing peers are still focused on employment rather than what comes next. Porto is being Disneyfied and Disrupted beyond recognition by an unholy alliance of AirBnB, speculators local and foreign, and, again, a local citizenry more than happy in screwing over their neighbors whenever the time comes to renew a lease, or to price the food in their artisanal gourmet tapas bar restaurant bistro. But hey, at least we've got a brand new city centre which the tourists and the petty bourgeois can enjoy mostly free of locals, as the city lost 10% of its inhabitants in just these last four vigorous years. That an untold number of businesses in the periphery had to close is something almost nobody notices.
Yay for growth!
May the tourists never cease touring the brand new hotels standing on the ruins of our heritage. Nobody can make a living here, but those TripAdvisor rankings are unmatched.
Happy Holidays everyone!

Update, Dec. 6: So I kinda consider the redesign process closed, as much as these things are ever finished. There are too many updates to mention, so if you're interested my best advice is to just start exploring what's on the menu (chuckles). Happy browsing!
It seems incredible it had been more than five years since I last deeply redesigned this website. I remember that back when I first designed its percursor, the blog If Then Else, the web was young, I was eager, and the iterations were monthly. That was April 2001. Now social networks take so much away (and this website, for all its independence, does aggregate posts off Tumblr, Twitter, Instagram and Flickr) that this notion of having a personal website, having YourName-dot-com, seems as oddball as it was in the 1990s: the eccentric hobby of a technophiles, like ham radio or DIY electronics. I can say I do own my online persona and that's the entire point. Or I may rephrase that as something cool and say I'm contributing to the Indie Web.
So welcome to the new 2016 iteration of my website, now featuring some the typical expectations of a 2016 website — responsive design (as if people would surf the Indie Web on their cellphones! Ha!), higher resolution images, bigger font sizes. And finally, the homepage design recognizes how far less blogging I do nowadays, but won't ever bury the more exquisitely crafted posts (ahem!) under a bunch of forgettable tweets and Instagram pictures.
The site was you are looking at is yet very incomplete — many of the projects & portfolio pages are still missing and some of the previously existing links will still throw 404s for a while. I'll update this post as I go along. 😊
Our need for quiet has never fully gone away, because our practical achievements, however spectacular, never quite fulfill us. They are always giving way to new wants and needs, always requiring updating or repairing, always falling short. The mania of our online lives reveals this: We keep swiping and swiping because we are never fully satisfied. The late British philosopher Michael Oakeshott starkly called this truth "the deadliness of doing." There seems no end to this paradox of practical life, and no way out, just an infinite succession of efforts, all doomed ultimately to fail.
I Used to Be an Human Being, by Andrew Sullivan. Read it, now. Forget about your cellphone, close all other tabs and turn off your notifications and read it. Better yet, print it. We do too much.

For my brothers Carl and [Johann] Beethoven
Heiligenstadt, October 6th, 1802
Satya, Your profound understanding of things which are beyond our grasp is truly amazing. Whether we have the ears to truly appreciate his work is another issue. But Beethovan is a shining example of the mystery of life. It should give us the resolve not to give up under the severest of circumstances. All situatons would change for the better. Only if we are ready to wait. And not lose heart.ReplyDelete
Dear Satya, it is another of your in-depth articles peppered with a lot for us to know. I have seen a film in which the music teacher's son is deaf and inspired by the story of Beethoven, the teacher makes use of big strobe lights-display in accordance with the tempo of music, its crescendo and fall, to make the unheard appreciate his symphony. I think the name of the film is 'Mr. Holland's Opus'.ReplyDelete
The music of Beethoven, after reading his letter & u'r elaborately well-researched blog, moved me to tearsReplyDelete
He probably started to listen to the inner music in his head once other sounds were shut out! In a world where most of us believe that our happiness lies in some particular thing or the other Beethoven's trials stand testimony to the fact that the earth has much to offer and we just have to look and listen.
It was enlightening to read that behind the success of the artist, there was such despair and turmoil. He appears to be human rather than just a two dimensional legend.
Beethoven is considered to be da founder of Romantic Era in Western Classical Music. Da period of Romanticism strived to increase da emotional expressions of da modern self & attempted to intensify da power to describe da inner experiences in musical forms, while preserving or even extending da formal structures from da earlier Classical period.
Da significance of da compositions of Beethoven lies in expanding da harmonic language with innovate chord progressions. Da greater harmonic elusiveness & fluidity, da longer melodies, poesis as da basis of expression & da use of literary inspirations became da central pursuits of music during da Romantic period.
It was Beethoven who laid da foundation to create in music, a more intense personal expression of emotion in which fantasy, imagination & a quest for adventure play a crucial part. His Symphony EROICA is considered to be a daring, wild, fantasia of inordinate length with extreme difficulty in execution.
It is very true that da Heiligenstadt Testament is da meditative method used by Beethoven to exorcise his inner fears & it transformed him to create one of the greatest masterpieces in the history of music, EROICA. U'r Blog has brought it out wonderfully well. Hats off!
Very exhilarating. If it comes to the western art and philosophy, sathyu is in majestic flow. strong currents of his thought, aesthetic experience peppered with bit of history and autobiographic writing of author collaged almost perfectly in this post. author is uninhibited in these kind of posts unlike in controversial current topics like capital punishment.ReplyDelete

Hello! First post!
I have an art nouveau themed living room. My apartment has a beautiful view, I live in the city and love to sit at the window and look down on the city below me, so I decorated the window in a way that would draw a lot of attention to it and made it the focus of the room.
I had a lot of little bottles I've collected and I wanted to display some of them so I did this: I filled the bottles with some beads then gathered some feathers and put them in the bottles.
When the window is open they softly move in the breeze.
This one is made from a feather pad from a craft store but I added more feathers, added some rhinestones and glued it to a stick as it wouldn't stay in the bottle very well.
This is several feathers just stuffed in the bottle.
A better view of the bottom:
And an idea of the overall window:
Thanks for looking!

Stocks bounced back on Tuesday after a report showed consumer confidence rose for a third straight month. What should investors expect from the markets going forward? Joe Kinahan, chief derivatives strategist at TD Ameritrade, shared his investment strategies.
"Markets are overall good," Kinahan told CNBC. "You can see in the VIX [volatility index] today, that the markets are taking a breath from the information overload we've seen for the last three to four trading days."
Kinahan said Apple's earnings results on Monday gave the markets confidence; and many of the Dow companies are also reporting strong numbers.
Kinahan also pointed out that telecommunications was one of the biggest areas retail customers went into last week, while diversified financials was one of the sectors people exited.
"We're starting to see people come back," he said. "When they come back, they're going to come back smarter."

OTTAWA, ONTARIO (CNN) — A passenger train sliced through a double-decker city bus in Ottawa Wednesday, resulting in "multiple fatalities," CNN affiliates CBC News and CTV News reported.
Fire officials in Ottawa also said at least a dozen people were injured, CTV reported.
"We had bodies and debris pretty much everywhere at the impact site," Ottawa Fire Service's Marc Messier told CTV's News Channel.
"It's definitely a serious scene," he said. "Our top priority is getting anyone with serious injuries to the hospital and getting them into proper care."
The crash happened at 8:48 a.m., the networks reported. CTV said a Via Rail train at Woodroffe Avenue and Fallowfield Road hit an Ottawa Carlton Transit city bus.
The train derailed "approximately 100 to 200 feet down the rail," Messier said, and all of the casualties were on the bus.
CBC News quoted firefighters as saying the front end of the bus suffered significant damage. It said in a Twitter message that the Transportation Safety Board was headed to the crash site.
"My thoughts are with the victims of this accident," Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson said. "Please pray for those affected and for our 1st responders dealing with this tragedy."

The Met Office has announced what this year's storms will officially be called.
The timing of the news feels appropriate given the thunderstorms that swept across the region last week.
The naming of storms has traditionally taken place overseas in areas where storms can cause huge damage to cities and countries.
Last year, the Met Office made the decision to name storms that will hit the UK in the hope it would help the communicate weather warnings to the public.
The names include some traditional ones and some unusual. Angus, Barbara and Conor are all fairly standard names while Fleur and Oisin will no doubt catch the eye a little more.
For a storm to be named, it must be forecast to have a medium or high impact from winds in the UK. There are no names for Q, U, X, Y and Z.
The campaign began in September 2015 with more than 10,000 suggestions submitted to help make up the names for this year's season.
You can see the list of names below.

The headline: Wachovia Plunges $10 on $393M Loss, Dividend Cut, Need for Capital; Traders Brace for Financial Earnings Deluge
Just last quarter Wachovia said it would not have to cut its dividend, Guy Adami noted. "You can't believe any of what these guys say."
That said, he thinks WB sets up for an "easy" trade here. He would get long with extremely tight stops to limit downside.
Jeff Macke agreed that a lot of the financials are so low that they make for some tight risk-reward trades. The bad news is expected in these names, he said, which makes them less dangerous to own when, invariably, that bad news materializes.
Pete Najarian recommended the XLF instead of buying any one money center bank – save for maybe U.S. Bancorp (USB), which has ultimately spared itself from subprime.

Even though I've missed a couple of snacks over the past few days, I've still managed to eat some pretty awesome meals. Here's a peek at yesterday's eats:
I ate these pumpkin spice pancakes for breakie on Sunday, Monday & Tuesday. I hated to eat the last bite; these are that good!!
My lunch yesterday was delicious! If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, you would have seen this HUGE bunch of kale that my grandpa dropped off to me on Sunday.
I ended up making a massaged kale salad that included avocado, dried cranberries, walnut pieces, cucumbers, celery and feta. The dressing was an apple cider vinegar/dijon combo.
As snacks, I took some clementines, a pear and some Tazo green tea k-cups.
Last Friday, my grandma and I went out for lunch to a restaurant across the street from my office. I ordered the cheese & onion tart and it was ah-maze-ing!!! I really want to recreate this amazing tart at home and last night was my first attempt.
I caramelized some onions in butter & red wine, added some aged cheddar, and then folded them into my grandma's famous pie crust. It was good, but the crust wasn't quite right. I promise that I'll keep working on it and hopefully perfect a recipe to share with you in the very near future!!
So that's my eats in a nutshell. What was your favourite meal from yesterday?? If you're looking for more meal inspiration, check out Jenn's What I Ate Wednesday page and I promise you that you'll find a ton of awesome eats!!
I hope you have a wonderful day!

Both are urgent priorities for both donors and the Haitian government alike. But what if you could solve both problems at once?
Gael Pressoir, a geneticist and former researcher at Cornell University, says it's possible. Pressoir has been exploring the use of a plant that can be transformed not only into food, but fuel. The plant, called jatropha, is already being used in African countries. Likewise, an edible kind of jatropha is grown by indigenous communities in Mexico.
Pressoir believes it the plant can be grown in Haiti, too — with potentially incredible results. Jatropha is rich in protein like a soybean meal. Oil from jatropha can also be burned to fuel stoves, which would decrease the need to cut through forests for charcoal. Meanwhile, jatropha is a tree that can likewise be used to reforest barren land and stabilize its soil.
And wait — there's more. Jatropha oil can be transformed into biodiesel, and in a country largely dependent on diesel, that's a fact that could make a huge fiscal difference. According to Pressoir, diesel accounts for 50% of Haiti's fuel dependency. (Just last year, Haiti imported $380 million in diesel for its electrical generators and you can read detailed coverage on this in the New York Times here.)
"Diesel is the second largest commodity market in Haiti," says Pressoir. "So there is a huge local market for diesel or diesel substitute."
Right now, Pressoir and his nonprofit venture CHIBAS are working with the help of USAID and L'Agence Nationale De La Recherche in France to explore what could be a market of half a billion dollars. Haiti's Ministry of Agriculture is backing the jatropha initiative, too, though the government worries jatropha might interfere with traditional food crops. Those concerns have been addressed, says Pressoir, and more than a million acres have been identified for jatropha plantations that won't bleed the local farming economy.Is jatropha a viable solution to both Haiti's food and energy security issues? I'd say it looks quite promising. The plant is a sound investment — and a potentially powerful way to kill two birds with one stone.
