Solmukohta is awesome!
Some thoughts and reminiscences from this year's Solmukohta (Knutepunkt) in Finland. Solmukohta started as a conference/festival of Nordic larpers and has become a conference/festival of international larpers interested in the tradition of Nordic larp.
I've been a regular Knudepunkt goer since the third one in 1999. I haven't missed a single event before last year's one in Denmark. Which meant it was amazing to go back there this year when it was held in Helsinki.
This year apart from all the Nordics, I talked to people from Russia, Croatia, Israel, Germany, England, Latvia, Italy and the United States. On top of that I know we had visitors from pretty much all around Europe from Portugal to Latvia, from England to Bulgaria. So it's really becoming international.
The editor of this year's Solmukohta book States of Play, Juhana Pettersson, observed that "Nordic larp" has become a tradition independent of the Nordic countries. So you can have Nordic larp in Mexico or Egypt. But you can also have larps in Finland that belong to some other tradition or remain more or less unaffected by that tradition. And that way you can even have Nordic larp being in dialogue with Finnish larp, and I guess my own Täällä Kirjokannen alla had quite a bit of that going on.
For me the whole experience started with the Nordic Larp Talks on Wednesday in Club PRKL in downtown Helsinki. You can see my talk titled How To Become a God, and all the others here.
Next day all three hundred and sixty of us got on buses that drove us to the conference hotel Kiljavanranta next to some lake in the middle of the Finnish forest with some patches of snow left.
I ran two programs this year. One was called the Folk Fantasy Workshop, based on my article in States of Play (PDF). I gave a short presentation on the world in Täällä Kirjokannen alla, and then we started workshoping on taking each participants' own country/nation/tribe/city/identity and turning that into a folk fantasy world. We had people from Sweden, China, Croatia and Russia present, and we had hardly gotten started when we already had to stop. The workshop might've been over ambitious, but I think the participants still made some interesting connections and maybe had some ideas they can later use for whatever they wish.
The other item was originally titled Contacting the Characters Within You, a self-help kind of approach to taking the roles and characters we carry around with us and using them for other things. Since the workshop was scheduled for Sunday morning, I had to rename it Hangover Yoga Workshop (and Contacting the Characters With You).
We started with twenty minutes of simple yoga exercises designed not to feel too bad for the hungover people, and wake everybody up a little bit. Then we started meditating on the characters we've played trying to identify five archetypes. The Good One, The Trickster, The Leader, The Shadow and The Brain. Not everybody had experience with all of these, but I think people sort of got the idea. We examined each one a little bit, and then chose two of them. Those two we made our own, trying to develop their physical language and put them on and off faster and faster. The idea was that the participants could learn to call on these characters in tricky situations in their ordinary life. For example a test might be very difficult for the participant in their everyday role, but putting on the role of The Brain might help them deal with it better. Different situations might require taking on different roles, and these sorts of exercises will hopefully help people to identify them better.
I think the workshop was a success since many people came to thank me for it later. I'm not an expert yoga master, either, but I think that went fine, as well.
One of the many highlights was being able to buy an early copy of Leaving Mundania from the author Lizzie Stark. I knew who she was since people had told me she visited last year's Knudepunkt in Copenhagen. Leaving Mundania is a non-fiction book about larpers and the larp scene. It mostly focuses on larp in the United States, but the last chapter is titled Knudepunkt Blew My Mind. It was thrilling to read an excited outsider's perspectives on the whole scene and the games we play and the the people we know. Of course, Lizzie's not an outsider anymore.
She signed my copy "Turku this!" Ironically, I accidentally left the book in the Turku School room (all the rooms were named after concepts in larp theory). So I really did Turku it. The next day it was gone. If you have it, I want it back!
The Pan-European tv drama / larp / transmedia experience The Spiral (formerly The Artists) is partly built by larpers, specifically Martin Ericsson and Adriana Skarped. They showed us a sneak preview of the tv show's trailer, which seemed really cool. Parts of the whole thing are made through a larp, as some sort of mocumentary. Difficult to explain, but you should totally follow it when it airs in September in several European countries including Finland. Or take part in the larp parts – it's not too late!
The social aspect is very important in these events. Even though I went to bed quite early on two nights, I had a chance to party it out Saturday. DJ Hakkis's 90's gothic hits marathon was well appreciated! Also interesting discussions on commercial larps in Siberia, how Taoism relates to the works of Ursula K. Le Guin, politics in Israeli larps, German film funding, the great roleplaying theories of the day, capitalism and socialism in post-apocalyptic Swedish larps and lots of other great stuff.
There's an influential indie roleplaying scene mostly in the US, but also internationally, that used to be associated with the forum The Forge. Over the years they've sent one or two ambassadors that usually get converted, but this time it seemed like there was a whole faction of these great people. Some came to preach, others to listen, but continuing this dialogue between ambitious clicks is very fruitful. The Swedish/Danish jeepform tradition is, I think, a sort of love/hate child between Nordic larp, US indie and Danish tabletop. The US indie crowd is discussing Solmukohta at the Story Games forum.
Some random notes I made during the event:
"We have a special way of playing the post-death game." -Alexey Fedoseev on Russian larps.
A StPetersburg game had in-game elections. If the conservatives won, the city was taken into history. With liberals, to the future.
Larps are not artificial, they are artifactual.
The Hollow Man Syndrome = there is no character, the player has to use their own experiences.
Read the book The Art of Curating Worship, a guidebook for Christian priests.

Nordic Larp Talks and State of Play
If you're interested in what's going on in the fields of participation, interaction or roleplaying, I recommend spending this evening at Club PRKL in Helsinki or online following the webcast. It's the publishing of the new Solmukohta journal States of Play followed by Nordic Larp Talks.
The doors open at 6pm, the excellent book States of Play is published at 7, and Nordic Larp Talks hosted by Johanna Koljonen starts at 8!
States of Play is edited by Juhana Pettersson and has dozens of really interesting articles on the design, theory, documentation and results of the cutting edge Nordic tradition of live roleplaying. My article Folk Fantasy deals with Täällä Kirjokannen alla and what I think might be the dawn of a new era in the fantasy genre. The book is also published as a free PDF.
Now, here's some info on Nordic Larp Talks:
We are proud to welcome you to Nordic Larp Talks Helsinki 2012 – an evening of entertaining, thought-provoking and mind-boggling lectures about projects and ideas from the Nordic tradition of live action roleplaying games.
The talks are presented by writer, radio & television host as well as winner of the innovator category of this year's The Swedish Grand Journalism Prize award, Johanna Koljonen.
You can follow the talks live streamed on nordiclarptalks.org Wednesday April 11th 8pm EEST or at the PRKL club in central Helsinki, Kaisaniemenkatu 4.
Mike Pohjola – How to become a god
Johanna Macdonald – From stage to larp
JP Kaljonen – The interplay between player and man in the street
Jesper Bruun – Experimental Larp Design
Lizzie Stark – Playing in Graveyards: Terror collides with larp in New York City
My presentation, How To Become A God, deals with the history of drama from Dionysian rituals to reality television, and beyond, and how all of this relates to roleplaying. While doing that, I'll also answer a puzzling point in Aristotle's Poetics that's been bugging theatre scholars for three thousand years.
See you there!
New Knudebooks online!
The roleplaying conference Knutepunkt 2011 is going on as I type. For the first time since 1999 I'm not attending, but I've written a short essay on one of the books. Yes, one of the books, since this year they had three books! You can download them all as PDFs.
Do Larp has manuscripts an blueprints for several recent larps, Think Larp has academic articles on larp, and Talk Larp has various rants and essays on larp. That's the one I've contributed to.
Nordic Larp is coming out!
My friends Jaakko Stenros and Markus Montola have been working for eighteen months on a huge photo book about the most ambitious larps in the Nordic countries. Nordic Larp will be published today Wednesday. I got my copy Tuesday afternoon, and it's worthy of much praise!
The book has thirty excellent live roleplaying games from Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway. Some games I've been involved in creating (Luminescence, inside:outside, Europa, PanoptiCorp, Dragonbane), in others I've been a player (Helsingin Camarilla, Ground Zero, The Executive Game, Hamlet, Zombie, Mellan himmel och hav, Silmäpuoli merirosvo), and all of them I've heard lots of good things about.
During the fifteen larp years in the book, the scene has deal with gender roles, society, cancer, Norway's Nazi occupation, the mafia, nationality, insanity, capitalism, Shakespeare and the homeless, and adventure with vampires, dragons, steampunk spaceships, pirates and dead spirits that communicate through radio. Many of these in the same game.
My article In Prison With Kafka and Beckett is about inside:outside (2001-2002), a larp Eirik Fatland and I designed, and Irene Tanke produced, that was my first larp to be exhibited in an art gallery. The book has eight pages of text an Frode Dybvad's photos for the game. While the pictures are good, many more articles are much more visual, since the originals were somehow lost in the Faroe Islands in Frode's bag. (I think this accurately displays what a huge undertaking Stenros and Montola had in getting photos of some of the older games.)
Since a larp is an immediate work that cannot be recorded or reproduced, editing and publishing a book like this is a great deed for the whole culture. Without one the visionary live roleplaying games of old would remain only in the dimming memories of its participants and turn into vague stories told over proverbial campfires, but now they are documented with visual proof. With this book the history of Nordic larp is immortalized.
I obviously haven't read the whole tome yet, but after browsing it, I can tell it's full of interesting articles and brilliant photo pages. The book will be available online and in select bookstores, but you can also get it at the publishing party today on Wednesday, Dec 22th.
There will be four or five simultaneous parties held in Helsinki, Oslo, Copenhagen, Stockholm, at least. The parties kick off at 19:00 local time. The Stockholm part fill be held in Betahaus (Skeppsholmen 30), and in Helsinki the location is Dubrovnik Lounge (Eerikinkatu 11). Locations for Oslo and Copenhagen will be announced here.
The parties are also connected to each other with a live stream. You can also watch the video online in real time, or take part by Tweeting (#nordiclarp). (I promise not everyone there dubs themselves a Social Media Expert!)
The Turku Manifesto turns ten
It was published a day before, and I was selling them at a convention. When I gave Mika Loponen a copy, her burned it at the ash tray. Everyone was watching and cheering. "Get them while they're hot," I yelled.
Today marks the 10th anniversary of the Manifesto of the Turku School. It is a roleplaying manifesto promoting character immersion as a player goal, and honest world simulation as a game master goal. It may be the most talked about thing I've written so far.
At the time the discussion on roleplaying theory was mostly centered around the question "should there be roleplaying theory or is it ruining our hobby?" Some of tried to talk about the theory and practice of what we find interesting, and were blamed for ruining the fun for everyone, since you're not supposed to take it too seriously, it's supposed to just be fun. But is it good fun? What do you mean by fun? Is it fun to play something horrible happening to your character? Is it fun if the game master pulls everything out of his ass? Aren't some kinds of fun better experienced if you really try to feel what the character feels, instead of just going through the motions?
In the summer of 1999 Norwegian roleplaying theorists Eirik Fatland and Lars Wingård wrote the Dogma 99, a "Programme for the Liberation of LARP". They argued that larp can be a meaningful medium for artistic expression and that you should take it seriously. We agreed on that. Then they went on to treat roleplaying games more as acting than as character immersion, and made the game master a linear storyteller instead of an interactive or multilinear enabler. I couldn't stand for that, of course, and had to write the first part of the until then speculational manifesto. This became the Larper's Vow of Chastity, published in the fall of 1999.
Dogma 99, like it's Danish predecessor Dogme 95, contained rules that a game master could try out to challenge their way of making art. Most people understood the rules as something every game must adhere to according to the writers, and dismissed the whole thing. The Turku Larper's Vow of Chastity did contain such rules, meant to be be obeyed when playing in a Turku style larp. "I shall not speak out of character during a game", and so on. Most people noticed that the player is also expected to follow the game master's vision, and misinterpreted this completely assuming that this meant the character's wouldn't have free will within the game. I probably should've written it better.
Nevertheless, the Vow got lots of discussion, and I decided to go ahead with writing the Manifesto itself. The annual Nordic larp conference Knutepunkt was taking place in Helsinki that year, and there was a pre-party at (now celebrity journalist) Johanna Koljonen's mother's place. That was Wednesday 23rd of February, 2000. That's where I first gave and sold copies of the manifesto that I'd written in the preceding couple of days, and picked up at the printers' that morning. The title had a typo, since I didn't know "manifest" and "manifesto" are two different things.
There was not yet a tradition for conference journals on roleplaying theory, so people were pretty amazed, and also amused. A copy of the manifesto was burned to protest its horrors. There was a panel discussion where Eirik Fatland and I duked it out. Later Eirik Fatland and I became fast friends, organizing many larps together, such as inside:outside and (with Juhana Pettersson) I Regret Nothing.
Next year and the year after that, people started writing their own manifestos in response to the Turku Manifesto and Dogma 99, and there was a Roihuvuori Manifesto, Meilahti Style, Bristol Manifesto, the Manifesto Manifesto, The Manifest Sunday, and dozens of others. Some were about roleplaying theory, some were parodies, most were descriptions of the writers' own preferred styles without trying to force it upon anybody else. (Although then they're not really manifestos, if I may say so.)
The manifesto creeps up every now and again in silly online discussions and such, and new people get angry at it. (Check out this one archived from 4chan!) Then somebody points out there's a nice idea here or there, and the discussion turns into one of roleplaying theory. And occasionally somebody likes the text so much they want to translate it into their own language. So far we have Le Manifeste de l'Ecole de Turku in French, Manifest Školy Turku in Slovak, and Manifest Školy Turku in Czech. Today I'm publishing the Russian translation by Larnir Haigh. Enjoy!
I've since written some other articles that I view as part of the Turku School canon, and am working on my BA and MA theses at the Aalto University of Art and Design in Helsinki. They will deal with familiar topics including larps, rituals, Aristotle, Nietzsche and character immersion. The Turku School will live on.
I'm thinking of doing something cool about regarding the Manifesto at this year's Knutpunkt in Stockholm. Any ideas?
And finally, to celebrate this anniversary, here are some more photos from 2000. Can you recognize all the current game researchers and bigwigs then in their blossoming youth?
Portrait of the author as a young man.
Knutepunkt, day five: Sunday
Jaakko had convinced me to play Jiituomas Harviainen's Prayers on a Porcelain Altar in the morning just after breakfast. It was the perfect thing to do in the morning with everybody tired and hungover.
The game was about a bunch of arrogant young actors the day after the entrance exams to the Finnish Theatre Academy. They'd partied heavily, and everybody had hazy recollections of what happened last night. A sort of murder mystery structure there ("Who slept with whom? Why am I bruised in the stomach?"), but just enough to give us something to play on.
The real core of the game was in the interplay between the characters. Nobody was feeling too great physically, everyone was nervous about how they did in the exams, trying to make others feel bad or just pick a fight for the hell of it. A great thing to play in this tired state of mind when everybody could just sit on the couches in nearly horizontal positions and slander others.
Harviainen had plugged this as "a game where everybody is really hungover and nobody remembers anything about last night", which had put me off for a long time, but it turned out to be quite meaningful and interesting. I'd heard someone had performed Faust in the previous day's run, and gave myself permission to recite Hamlet. (Having done a piece of the same monologue in Klingon the previous night and now redoing it in more length in English gave it a slightly surreal context for me.)
All in all, a very interesting experience. Harviainen is definitely one of the foremost con larp artists I know of.
After the game it was time to pack our bags and get on the busses that took most people to Oslo Central Station and the rest of us to Gardaemon Airport. Our plane didn't leave until seven so we had many an hour to spare at Peppes Pizza talking about larp and business and roleplaying and art and science and research and life and whatnot.
Tobias Wrigstad made two rapid-pace interview videos asking people at Knutepunkt what they thought was the cool. The One Cool Thing videos are on Youtube here and here. Apparently there's lots of other similar videos from other cons, so I guess it's some sort of indie rpg con trend.
Apart from the amazing Knutebook Larp, Universe and Everything, I got three other great books to bring home with me. One from Tronsmo was Lipstick Traces – Secret History of the 20th Century recommended by Martin to me some months ago. Claus Raasted had published a photo book about the larps he'd ran in 2008. It's almost two hundred pages long with awesome pictures. And finally, I got a signed copy of Itras by, the Norwegian tabletop rpg set in the surrealist 20s. It's being translated into Finnish even as we speek. More or that later.
I was a bit worried about being allowed back on the plane without my passport or any sort of ID, but fortunately I managed to talk the airport personnel into contacting Finnish immigration who gave them permission to let me through security.
All in all, this was a great Knutepunkt. Relaxed, inspiring, with just the right combination of heavy partying, sotto conversations, larping, rituals and theory.
Knutepunkt, day four: Saturday
I may have forgotten several key details about last night, including a strange improvised midnight quest with one master Daniel Krauklis. Also, I met a man with long fingernails and long blonde hair, whom the Norwegians had dubbed "The young Mike Pohjola." Nice fellow, so not exactly like me.
I had signed up for lots of programme Saturday morning, but slept through most of it, only waking up in time to attend the end discussion of Jiituomas Harviainen's lecture where they talked about the differences and similarities between ritual and larp. A shame I missed it, but fortunately there will be articles coming up on the topic.
I woke Martin up, dragged him to lunch, and we started rigging up for our presentation. I'm not often hungover, but for some unknown reason that curse afflicted me this day. Head aching, nausea, confusion, all that good stuff.
The Knutepunkt practical arrangements were well taken care of, but I often noticed problems with the tech department. Sound cables missing, extension cords nowhere to be found, video projectors not set up in time, and so on. The guys working the tech were doing the best they could, but I think they simply didn't have enough gear. Later in the evening I ended up borrowing my laptop to Erlend and Katri Lassila so they could show their films, that were apparently unplayable on the equipment at hand.
After everything was set up, we did our hour-and-a-half presentation, starting with Sanningen om Marika, and moving on from there. We created a sort of narrative around the fact that after last year's Solmukohta we were just getting ready to fly to Cannes for the International Emmy Gala.
When we told the little tale of us sitting there in the gala, applying nail polish and flipping the passive media off, and winning the damn statue… people started applauding. That was a real nice, warm moment. We, both of us, had spent so many years being the annoying guys in black, making outrageous claims and being accused for destroying the hobby by taking it in all the wrong directions, this was a great sense of community. No bitterness, no envy, just joy. (And rightly so, since we strongly feel this is the Nordic larpdom combining with traditional tv.)
Then we talked in length about Dollplay, and very, very, very briefly about two projects in the pipeline: The Artists and TEVA. To summarize: "We can't really say anything about these." "But maybe we can say which country it will begin in?" "Well, it may begin in some individual country, or perhaps not."
The last programme for me, apart from Erlend's film, was a jeepform game in the style of talk show. The idea was to do a sort of "This Is Your Life" kind of show with the audience improvising/roleplaying key points in the person's life. It's nice to make these kinds of experiments, but I didn't really think it worked. It was just over-long impro theatre with no unifying plot, and no point.
After the programme there was plenty of hanging out, and visiting strange parties. The Czechs held a party in their cabin, serving foul tasting alcohol which I countered by bringing them some salmiakki. People sang songs from their native countries, which was surprisingly nationalistic for Knutepunkt, so I introduced myself as coming from the klingon homeworld. I was asked to sing klingon opera, but opted out playing a scene from the tragedy of Khamlet. (Jaakko approved, saying it's much better in the original Klingon.)
Jukka and Hakkis ran two drinking workshops this year, instead of just the one. One was a secret drinking workshop, so I can't really talk about that. The other one was a fifteen-minute port wine workshop (porttivartti) where we were joined by a really drunk and young Faroese first-timer, whom I dubbed Junior. He didn't know who anybody was, which we found hilarious. Had we been less arrogant and drunk, we might've told him, but such was not the way of the Knutepunkt Saturday night.
Knutepunkt, day three: Friday
I managed to get up before eight in the morning to attend Johanna's workshop Physical Rituals. It felt more like a theatre workshop combined with a bit of conceptual immersion, which was great in itself, but far from ritual in the Knutepunkt context.
After that I had breakfast and went to hear a lecture on Czech larps. I think I speak for all attendees when I say we went there a bit smug and feeling superior, and came out feeling humbled and in awe. The Czechs have had documented cases of larping since before WWII. Something like it even before WWI! Amazing.
Before lunch I had to take a short nap to regain my full capacities for the afternoon. I didn't expect much from the meals, but they turned out to be brilliant Norwegian tapas buffets with more varieties than I could fit on my plate. I wonder how well the meat eaters must've eaten!
Then it was time for my ritual workshop. Just wanting to run a ritual workshop at a con should be enough to prove I'd finally become completely Norwegian.
I don't know what else the lavvo was used for, but it was perfect for this. In the middle there was a fire, and we gathered around it. First we sacrificed little wine to the wine god Dionysos by drinking it or pouring it onto the fire, while I took my ritual knife and drew a magic circle around the participants.
We tried out three or four different types of choruses, beginning with a classic Dionysian dithyramb with just the chorus and the priest/chorus master. Then adding one actor, and then one more, moving on towards classic Greek tragedy where chorus is just one part of what's on stage. Aristotle and Nietzsche have said that the chorus is the ideal audience, and I wanted to test out what that means. I think I get it now, but will run something like this again at Ropecon.
Masks and music and monologues and chanting. I found it pretty cool, although this was still clearly a learning experience for me. Many had expected a mock ritual rather than a workshop on rituals, so they might've been slightly disappointed at all the theory and the lack of drums.
After the ritual it was gala time! It was a color themed party for which I'd brought a goth suit I'd bought in Amsterdam just after Christmas. Hakkis and Jukka had chosen to wear pink stetsons and robes, becoming the wizards of love.
The party had a couple of excellent burlesque performances, great people, lots of drinks of varying kinds, people going from small gatherings to large groups and then private discussions, strange drinks, lots of dancing, and so on. This was my mandatory night of staying up ridiculously late and well worth it.

Send Justin Trudeau a message: Stop the Carbon Tax!
Rebel Staff
Get your own 'Stop the Carbon Tax' yellow vest
Whilst Canada's largest business group tacitly endorses Prime Minister Trudeau's carbon tax, the French are up in arms at President Macron's.
The 'yellow vest', or gilets jaunes, movement — named after the high-visibility jackets worn by thousands of protesters — is swiftly gaining momentum across France.
And now the movement has landed in Canada!
Make a statement against Trudeau's carbon tax by purchasing your yellow vest today. You can do so by visiting ProtestVest.com. Wear it to protests and rallies to show your opposition.
Justin Trudeau announced his carbon pricing scheme on Oct. 3 and it's worse than anyone could have expected.
The Liberal government will charge $10/ton of carbon dioxide by 2018, and will raise that price each year by $10 until 2022 - when the price of carbon will be $50/ton.
These prices are so steep that even allies of Trudeau and his government were shocked. Saskatchewan, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Nova Scotia's environment ministers all walked out of the environment ministers' meeting held in Montreal.
Even Rachel Notley issued a statement against the carbon tax.
Well, it's not enough to oppose the carbon tax or to issue a statement. Members of Parliament must vote against this tax-grab. Sign the petition to put pressure on them to vote against it!
Sign the petition!
All Members of Parliament should vote against the money-grabbing carbon tax.

There was a whole lot of sturm and drang associated with having to quit working as an NP about 18 months after I was diagnosed with ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome):
- Seeing my income drop precipitously
- Being unable to afford COBRA insurance and so being without coverage until Medicare would begin two years after official disability determination (don't get me started on how colossally stupid it is to grant disability and then make us pay out of pocket for healthcare)
- Self-image issues related to being chronically ill and yet not looking "sick enough" that drove me into endless cycles of pushing myself to act normal and then crashing/relapsing for days or weeks afterward
- Self-esteem issues associated with no longer being able to do what I loved and friends and family doubting I was really as sick as I claimed
- Almost losing my home to foreclosure before I could get it refinanced with the help of my former husband and still good friend (we've since remarried)
Reflecting on it while composing this post, I realize my journey back to being as healthy as I could be with a fatal, chronic illness started with the foundational Tibetan Buddhist practices known as ngondro (NUUN-DRO), during which practitioners perform 100,000 repetitions of what is called the preliminary practices:
- repeating Refuge and Bodhicitta prayers while prostrating the body full out on the floor with arms above the head
- purifying karma through visualization and repetition of a 100-syllable mantra
- constructing mandalas to purify attachment
- purifying delusion through visualization and prayer
I lived alone the whole time (3.5 years) I was doing ngondro. I did an evening practice to eliminate obstacles, too. It worked for me as Dharma teachings promised it would. Like most, if not all, Buddhists who complete the preliminaries, I was changed inside and out. Most evident on my face, which even on a good day looks like I'm grumpy and dissatisfied, my features softened and I even looked more peaceful. I no longer felt self-pity, unfocused anger, disappointment and recrimination (what did I do that gave me ME?).
With little time to do much online research while doing ngondro, I dove back into it when my Buddhist practice no longer took all day. One of the first places I found a spark of hope was Donna Schenck's blog at http://www.culturedfoodlife.com/ Donna became quite ill with her last pregnancy and found her body repaired itself when she began fermenting, or culturing, food.
Like Donna, I started with dairy kefir (KEFF-er or KEY-fur), essentially milk that uses beneficial bacteria to consume at the lactose (milk sugar) and turn the result into a delicious, tart beverage. Then it was on to a fermented tea called kombucha (COM-BOO-CHA), fermented carrots, dill pickles, sauerkraut, radishes, and garlic, among other veggies. I found I wasn't a huge fan of fermented veg (if you have a prize recipe, send it to me and I'll try it).
I reasoned the body makes new cells all the time and these new cells would be healthier and stronger because of the beneficial bacteria I was consuming. I felt better drinking kefir and kombucha. This drove me to learn more about cultured foods. At the same time, I started buying vegetables at the local Farmers Market and signing up for lots of food blogs. Ultimately, I became a member of a site started by a young woman named Wardeh (WAR-DEE) who showed how she uses traditional ways of preparing foods that are seasonal and more nutritious than conventional, processed food. Here's the website: https://traditionalcookingschool.com/
Something else was going on at the same time. I began working with the ANS Rewired program. This proved to be as good for me mentally and physically as meditation and cultured foods. More on that in the next post.

From the dawn of time there have been reports about loved ones returning from the dead for one reason or another. They come to comfort us, or seek revenge, or keep a promise. In some cases these newly spectral friends or family members, may themselves be the ones to deliver news of their demise. Seeing, hearing or feeling the presence of a recently deceased loved one is a surprisingly common occurrence, even today, even in the age of un-superstition. So what does it mean and how does it work? Join us this week as we examine the classic ballad "Cold As Clay," its origins and successors, and the factual counterparts that give it its weight. We'll discuss the Society for Psychical Research, with a special focus on the lovely Edmund Gurney; and learn how none other than Mr. Mark Twain inspired his lifelong quest for answers regarding, the Phantasms of the Living.

I really like my ALT1-ZT/51 but I also like the crowns on the DH-88 (which I don't have).
Do you think Bremont would swap these at all or do you think I have no chance? :-)
Something like this...
I wear my watches on my right wrist so this would also make it a lot easier setting the time/date etc. without first having to remove it which is a minor PITA (I know, first world problems )

Cyanogen releases a fairly stable Android 2.2 ROM for the T-Mobile G1
AndroidandМe is reporting that the upgrade is very stable for a first release, despite a few freezes and restarts it brought upon their G1, but overall ready for everyday use. CyanogenMod 6 has been notably faster than the previous version thanks to the quick JIT compiler in Froyo; moreover, Wi-Fi and the camera now work as they are supposed to. The main glitch is access and installation of various applications from Android Market, which seems to be hit-and-miss with the new ROM.

The crisis rocking the Obafemi Awolowo University took a new twist on Tuesday as protesting workers shut the entrances into the Senate Building of the university to prevent the bursar, Aderonke Akeredolu, from getting into her office.
Members of the non-academic staff unions of the university were demanding that Mrs. Akeredolu should clear her name over a petition before the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, accusing her and a former vice chancellor of corruption.
Speaking for the protesters, Ajayi Ologbenla, the secretary of the local branch of NASU, said the bursar must address the issues raised against her before resuming work.
They alleged that the fraudulent activities of some officials of the university had led to the death of some members of the staff.
"The university lost an academic technologist in the Department of Chemistry on Saturday, who died because of the state of the varsity laboratories. A very delicate acid poured on his body while he was preparing to teach students.
"He was rushed to the health centre of the University but was rejected and transferred to the Teaching Hospital of the University where he lost his life. No one has been talking about that, the university has not cared about his family and yet someone is embezzling our money," Mr. Ologbenla charged.
"We prayed for the emergence of Prof Elujoba (the vice-chancellor). It is wrong that after he emerged he would turn his back on us. We are tired of being made to suffer, let (the Bursar) clear her name with the EFCC because she may continue with the fraudulent acts if allowed to resume."
Speaking also, Adeyosoyo Olusoji, vice chairman of the local chapter of the National Association of Academic Technologists, said the members were protesting the death of their colleague who died "because of lack of facilities".
"We lost Oyediwura Samson because of lack of facilities. We have parents too who are here to protest against non payment of staff school staff for over eight months by the University management. We also have SSANU members well represented here," he said.
"We wrote a letter to the Vice Chancellor expressing our mind on the recent death and state of the laboratories but nothing has been done, not even a visit to the laboratory like he promised. We are tired of being oppressed," Mr. Olusoji said.
Addressing the protesting workers in front of the Senate Building later, the Vice Chancellor, Anthony Elujoba, promised to look into all the issues they had raised. "I appeal to you all to be calm and return to your various duty posts," he pleaded.
He said the management under his leadership was doing all it could to make the learning and work environment more conducive.
The workers however demanded that he paid a visit to the laboratories to have a feel of the environment in which the workers were working.
The workers later returned to work after the pleas by Mr. Elujoba and a closed door meeting he held with the leaders of the various non-academic staff unions.
Attempts by the reporter to speak with the University's Bursar on phone were abortive. She was also not around her office as some of the workers maintained their position at the Senate Building.
The Ibadan zonal office of the EFCC had earlier this year invited the Bursar and a former Vice chancellor, Bamitale Omole, over the allegations made against them in a petition by the workers.

Deanna Witkowski: Length of Days
It's an especially important concept for less-known artists like pianist/vocalist Deanna Witkowski. While her first two albumsHaving to Ask (Orchard, 2000) and Wide Open Window (Khaeon, 2003)demonstrated an emerging talent, Length of Days is her most fully-realized to date, and consequently a perfect fit for the growing reputation and influence of ArtistShare.
It's no surprise that Witkowski studied with Chucho Valdés and Hilario Duràn, as her own writing clearly reflects an interest in Afro-Cuban and Brazilian music. But she's equally informed by the more detailed compositional approach of Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays. The airy two-chord vamp that provides the foundation for her solo on "Beautiful Hands sounds, in fact, like an outtake from Pat Metheny Group (ECM, 1978), specifically the popular "Phase Dance. But her conception is all-acoustic, incorporating her wordless vocals in the same way that Metheny would on later albums like Still Life (Talking) (Geffen, 1987).
Still, while Witkowski retains strong ties to the music of Brazil, her references are subsumed in a distinctively soft veneer that isn't afraid to apply bolder contemporary harmony. When she sings lyrics, as she does on the little-known MGM tune "Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo and her own title tracka melancholy ballad which still possesses a clear optimismshe remains whisper-like and understated.
The overall ambience of Length of Days is relaxed and gentleintrospective, evenalthough the quartet's look at Cole Porter's "In the Still of the Night has a slow burn to it, as does the aforementioned "Beautiful Hands. And while Witkowski's piano style bears little of Monk's quirkiness on the classic "Straight, No Chaser, her endingwhere she and saxophonist Donny McCaslin take the final phrase and reiterate it on a continual ascension into the stratosphereshows that she's not without a sense of humour.
Witkowski's playing is considered but never contrived. Though she reflects some of Lyle Mays' romantic impressionism, she's a more steadfastly economical player. McCaslin, on the other hand, generates real heat on "Beautiful Hands and meshes beautifully with Witkowski's voice on "Song for Sarah and in playful call-and-response fashion on Prayer for Linda.
The depth of Witkowski's approach is almost concealed by her elegant delivery, but she's another contemporary jazz artist who successfully masks complexity in an undeniably accessible sound. Length of Days is a high water mark in Witkowski's career to date, and one well worth checking out.
Note: ArtistShare releases can only be purchased through the artist and/or ArtistShare sites.

Okay. So Prop 8 passed. Alright, I get it. 51% of you think that I am a second class citizen. Alright then. So my wife, uh I mean, roommate? Girlfriend? Special lady friend? You are gonna have to help me here because I am not sure what to call her now. Anyways, she and I are not allowed the same right under the state constitution as any other citizen. Okay, so I am taking that to mean I do not have to pay my state taxes because I am not a full citizen. I mean that would just be wrong, to make someone pay taxes and not give them the same rights, sounds sort of like that taxation without representation thing from the history books.
Okay, cool I don't mean to get too personal here but there is a lot I can do with the extra half a million dollars that I will be keeping instead of handing it over to the state of California. Oh, and I am sure Ellen will be a little excited to keep her bazillion bucks that she pays in taxes too. Wow, come to think of it, there are quite a few of us fortunate gay folks that will be having some extra cash this year. What recession? We're gay! I am sure there will be a little box on the tax forms now single, married, divorced, gay, check here if you are gay, yeah, that's not so bad. Of course all of the waiters and hairdressers and UPS workers and gym teachers and such, they won't have to pay their taxes either.
There's considerable pain as well as outrage in the rest of the piece if you care to read it.
But what interests me more is the comment I got from Pandora to a post I wrote earlier this week suggesting that we won't find President Obama coming out to take on the issue of gay marriage any time soon:
I think it will happen, but it won't happen immediately. Too much like Clinton's "gays in the military." Obama would be foolish to lead off with this and allow parallels to be drawn between his and Clinton's administrations. Also, Prop 8 was placed on these ballets as a trap, to create a "fierce urgency of now." Conservatives want nothing more than for Obama to take the bait and place the Culture War front and center. That's my political perspective.
My personal perspective is quite different. I think Prop 8 sucked.
Which is, basically, a way of saying, Thanks, all you gays who voted Democratic, we'll see you again in four years because there are a lot of issues on the table more important than your civil rights. We could have to spend some political capital on you, and that didn't work out too well for Bill Clinton.
[For fun, try replacing the word "gays" with the word "negroes" and see how it reads.]
Think about it, folks. There was never any way that Barack Obama was going to lose California no matter what he said. If he had even objected to the Mormons taking his comments on marriage out of context or made a single appeal to the legions of newly registered African-American voters not to allow their fellow American citizens to be treated the way they had been treated throughout history....
Prop 8 passed by 51%. A 1.1% difference, that was easily within Senator Obama's capability to deliver.
And he didn't.

Its nearly November and I'm driving North along Hwy 20 on my way to West Yellowstone. Tom and I just stopped off at the drugstore in Driggs and grab a couple of milkshakes. Tom's is chocolate/peanut butter. Mine is blackberry and it really gets my tastebuds hopping. Rich handmade ice cream slides like thick honey-velvet down my throat. Sweet fat blackberries clog up my straw. Who needs a straw? I suck it down so fast I have to stop so I don't get a headache. I know it's about 35 degrees outside the truck but a fresh fruit milkshake is certainly one of life's lovely little treasures…can't pass those up. Turn up the heat!
Black storm clouds to our right erase any sign of the 12,000 foot perky peaks of the Tetons just a few miles over. The road is dry and the driving is easy. My old truck knows this stretch by heart. This is Idaho's potato farming region. The "Spud Drive-In" provides clear evidence of how folks in this valley make a living. The land seems flat and rich to the east, right up to the unseen Teton's that abruptly snap upward like a vast broken two by ten.
We've been over the Teton Pass and through this region of Idaho dozens of times. I much prefer the West Yellowstone entrance to the park. The South entrance means you travel through Jackson. Once a sweet little town where you could get a bed and a good climbing rope for about $15 with a hot meal thrown in. You could drink beer and listen to mountain stories at any crummy bar in town til well past closing time. I once saw a cowboy ride a horse into town, tie him up in front of a bar and then walk in, grab a six pack to go and then ride back out of town. I thought maybe I was in a John Wayne movie. But no, I was in Jackson and that's how things were sometimes accomplished in Jackson back then.
Jackson used to be a place for ranchers and climbers…then they opened half a dozen ski resorts and folks with more good money than good sense bought up most of the ranch land and built a hot little town full of trendy shops, chic spas and endless galleries. The sidewalks are crowded with the sleek and tanned. You'll still see cowboy hats propped up on lovely heads but for some reason I've never understood, those fancy hats now cost nearly as much as a brake job. No place for the wicked…unless you're counting James Watt & Dick Cheney.
Tom is my step-son and wanderlust companion on this trip. We are headed up to the Yellowstone country to check on two spots where clues in Forrest's poem lead us. Actually, that's a lie. One of the spots is from Forrest's poem. But the other is a mail-order spot. This interesting fellow from somewhere east has an idea but can't get out here to check it out. Asked if I would look at it for him. I agreed. So we're checking out two spots, one for us and one for this fellow back east.
Tom has traveled with me since he was 7 when I dragged him out of school to go on a CNN shoot with me. We did a story on the incinerators that the Army was planning to build near Hermiston, Oregon. The Army had a lot of poison munitions stored there and intended to destroy them in place by burning them. This all sounded reasonable to the Army. Not so reasonable to the citizens of Hermiston…and downwind of the incinerators. Tom was my sound man. He would hang wireless mics on folks while I set up lighting for the interview. At night we'd pull off some place quiet and pretty and walk the streams and sleep in the truck and then shoot more interviews in the morning. We'd usually take the "long way" back home. I suppose today I'd get arrested for "hindering his education".
At about noon we pulled into the area near our poem-led spot, walked up the trail and commenced our search. The air was colder here and snowflakes the size of medium pizzas began to splat all around us. The air was so thick with them that I thought for awhile we might suffocate. We looked under rocks and around lots of natural markers but the unrelenting snow was covering things up faster than we could get to them. The cold was getting more-so and the mushy gray clouds were transforming to a shade of black that eviscerated my happy spirit. We consulted the sky and the air and decided this weather was going to get worse much before it would get better and the best thing we could do was head off this plateau and down to lower ground. So we did.
On the way out, we stopped in the road near our eastern friend's mail order spot and took a picture through the windshield to let him know why we abandoned ship before we had looked in his spot. His spot required a trot uphill in a forested region that looked semi-hazardous on a warm and dry day and now looked about as appetizing as lima bean jello. We were done. I was once again skunked by weather in the Yellowstone country. At least this time I was not frozen like a fresh caught tuna. At least this time I could still move my fingers and toes. This time I was riding in my truck with the heater cranked up and headed to brighter skies and a friendly lunch counter with my good traveling buddy.
PS…you can read the first blog story about freezing weather in Yellowstone HERE

Police say someone pointed a gun at a student on the campus of Culver-Stockton College, prompting officials to place the school on lockdown for two hours until a suspect was detained.
Lewis County Sheriff David Parrish says that at about 8 p.m. Tuesday, authorities received a report of the gun incident on campus. Parrish says no shots were fired and no one was hurt.
Immediately after the report, school officials put the campus on lockdown. The lockdown was lifted about two hours later after a suspect was detained.
Police gave no further information about the incident or the person in custody.
Culver-Stockton is a liberal arts college in Canton, Missouri, about 150 miles northwest of St. Louis, near the border with Illinois.

Innovation Awards 2020
Finalists Announced
EDGE 2020 Goes Virtual

Informatica Corporation (NASDAQ: INFA), the leading independent provider of data integration software and services, today announced a groundswell of customer and partner endorsement of Informatica's vision and capabilities for real-time data integration.

Introduced on June 3, Informatica 8.6 provides a single platform for supporting mission-critical projects within the firewall and beyond with cloud computing, including real-time data warehousing, real-time synchronisation of data between operational systems, operational data hubs, and data services. Informatica 8.6 supports the complete continuum of data integration latency, or timeliness, requirements from batch to real time.

"Businesses need to react faster than ever to meet escalating customer requirements and compete successfully in today's increasingly dynamic global markets," said Chris Boorman, chief marketing officer, Informatica. "As evidenced by the recent release of the Informatica 8.6 platform, Informatica is putting the full weight of its real-time data integration technology and expertise into enabling customers to gain a competitive advantage."

PowerCenter Real-time Edition is optimised for real-time analytic and operational data integration use cases. In addition to bringing right-time data integration spanning the latency spectrum, PowerCenter Real-time Edition includes integrated data quality, scalable data services, orchestration, universal data transformation, streaming changed data capture, data synchronisation and replication.

"LinkShare plans to increase its competitive advantage as the largest online pay-per-action marketing network. Part of our strategy is to deliver timely data feeds and data services to our customers and partners," said Jonathan M. Levine, chief technology officer, LinkShare. "By leveraging the flexible and scalable data services and orchestration capabilities of the Informatica PowerCenter Real-time Edition, LinkShare will be able to consistently roll out new products faster than before, meet customer demands for reporting and analysis, and grow our business by supplying customers and partners with the real-time delivery of holistic, accurate, and secure data."

According to recent research published by Ted Friedman, VP and Distinguished Analyst at Gartner, "Most important for organisations to recognise is that their data integration will require a mix of latencies — while real-time activity is on the increase, there will always be a need for higher-latency data integration work, since not all data in the architecture changes frequently, and not all processes, teams and roles are capable of harnessing real-time data." ("Survey on Data Integration Practices Shows Move Toward Strategic Initiatives," June 6, 2008)

With Informatica 8.6, customers can leverage one solution, and one set of developer skills, for accessing and delivering complete, accurate, high-quality data wherever, however, and at whatever speed the business requires.

"Our commitment to our customers is 100% on-time, damage-free service; accurate and timely information about their shipments; and the highest transportation value. Informatica plays an important role in this commitment," said Jeff McIntyre, associate vice president, BSNF Railway. "PowerCenter Real-time Edition and PowerExchange Change Data Capture enable us to capture and deliver real-time transportation information to our customers and internal-facing web applications with improved application performance and reduced costs. The result is real-time information on shipments and logistics available to our customers and our operations."

"Customers can accelerate business responsiveness and mitigate risk with real-time operational business intelligence with high-quality data," said Carl DCosta, Worldwide Director of Business Intelligence Alliances, HP. "Designed for operational business intelligence, the HP Neoview enterprise data warehouse solution, used in conjunction with Informatica PowerCenter Real-time Edition, provides customers real-time insight for their business with enterprise-class functionality and scale, combined with simplicity. This results in fast implementations with higher reliability, lower cost and better information, faster than current business intelligence solutions."

The mystery of strange sounds coming from the sky over Anchorage, Alaska
Recently, many Anchorage residents have heard a strange noise in the early morning hours. A loud noise comes in a distant hum, gets louder, and then disappears.
Anchorage is the largest city in Alaska, located in the south central part of the state on the shores of Cook Bay.
People many kilometers from each other report that a strange sound abruptly wakes them, sometimes one or even several times for several hours. But no one knows what exactly causes this mysterious metal moan.
The last time it was heard was around 5 a.m. Monday. This signal woke residents from the city center to West Anchorage.
It has been described as creepy, symphonic and also sporadic, sounding for about 20 seconds and then disappearing. This sound is internally loud. You feel this sound.
"It's almost like a foghorn, and screeching metal on metal. It sounds like a submarine scraping the bottom of a pool or something,"
Another eyewitness describes this rumble as an "underwater moan."

Murder Mysterious: What Happened at the Hinterkaife Farm?
This story, which took place on April 4, 1922, on the Hinterkaifike farm, located between Ingolstadt and Schrobenhausen in Bavaria, still excites the minds of lawyers and journalists. Then they found the bodies of the owner of the farm and his wife, their daughter and her two children, a maid who had recently come to them to work …
Everyone in the village knew about the Gruber. They were a wealthy family, but with a bad reputation. The father of the family, Andreas Gruber, was a cruel and rude man, so the workers on the farm did not stay long. Although everyone wanted money, few were willing to endure Andreas' harsh temper. Cecilia Gruber, his wife, used to be the owner of Hinterkaifeke – she inherited the farm from her husband. From him, she left two children, Martin and Cecilia. Soon the couple had a daughter, Victoria. She was not the only child, but the only one survived to adulthood – the rest of the children died in the absence of proper care.
Victoria grew up with Cecilia the younger as a sister. She was a quiet girl who sang in the church choir. Andreas did not deny himself the pleasure of making fun of both girls, and when Victoria turned 16, he forced her to enter into a relationship with him. Nobody knew about this, because the family lived as hermits, and the locals preferred not to pry into other people's affairs.
Cecilia the younger got married and left. At the age of 27, Victoria also found herself a husband, Karl Gabriel. According to rumors, he married solely for the sake of a share of the land, but upon learning of the incestuous relationship between his wife and father-in-law, he dropped everything and went to the front. A month later, Victoria gave birth to a daughter, Cecilia.
In the end, Victoria broke down and told about incest in confession. Gruber was sentenced to a year of hard labor, and she herself was imprisoned for a month. However, when Andreas returned, everything was resumed. Once their neighbor Lorenz Schlittenbauer wooed Victoria – his wife died then, he had sex with Victoria several times in the barn and must have decided that his farm still needs a mistress, besides, he is a respected non-poor man. But Andreas refused to marry his daughter, claiming that he "fondled her himself." When it turned out that Victoria was pregnant, she persuaded Lorenz to recognize the child as her own, but she never got married, and Gruber was named his guardian. So Lorenz was forced to pay child support until the child came of age, not even being sure that he was from him.
The baby was named Joseph. Unfortunately, he was unwell, grew poorly and was often ill. For the villagers, this served as a signal that Joseph was born as a result of an unnatural relationship between Victoria and her father.
Footprints and ghosts
Shortly before the murder, Victoria was seized with anxiety. She repeated that she felt that the farm was being watched. She saw the silhouette of a man, but could not find out who it was. Andreas also noticed oddities: footprints in the snow around the house, rustling in the attic (and when he got up, no one was there), flashing torches … Once he found a Munich newspaper that no one in the family subscribed to. He also lost his keys.
On March 31, a couple of days before the murder, the maid Maria arrived at the farm. The previous one asked for a calculation when she began to suspect that a ghost was in charge of the house.
For several days, nothing was heard about the Gruber, but life was in full swing on the farm: smoke poured from the chimney, sounds were heard, someone walked … But after several people with whom Andreas had appointments, they could not getting inside, their neighbor Lorenz became worried and called the police.
The bodies of all six were found in a house that was in perfect order. Little Joseph was killed in his cradle, Maria – in her bed, the rest were piled up in a heap by the barn and obviously not the first day dead. All residents of the farm were killed in one way – hitting the head with a hoe. At the same time, nothing of the valuable things and money, which was abundant on the farm, was not lost. Cynologists with dogs were able to take the trail of the criminal, but lost him at the edge of the forest.
The police interviewed about a hundred suspects, chief among whom was a neighbor of the Lorenz farm, whom Victoria had deceived and, perhaps, her ex-husband, who allegedly died at the front, could in fact be alive. In 2007, the students of the police academy, as a practice, re-investigated the case, found a new suspect, but out of respect for their relatives, they did not disclose their name.
A dead star in our galaxy has sent a new radio signal
Magnetar SGR 1935 + 2154, which emitted the first known rapid radio burst from inside the Milky Way in April, flared again, giving astronomers another chance to unravel the cosmic mystery.
The little dead star that sent the signal earlier this year did it again.
On October 8, 2020, the CHIME / FRB collaboration discovered SGR 1935 + 2154 emitting three millisecond radio bursts in three seconds. Following the CHIME / FRB detection, the FAST radio telescope detected something else – pulsed radio emission corresponding to the rotation period of the magnetar.
It is very interesting to see SGR 1935 + 2154 again, and I am optimistic that if we study these bursts more closely, it will help us better understand the potential relationship between magnetars and fast radio bursts, "says astronomer Deborah Goode of the University of Britain Colombia in Canada and a member of CHIME / FRB.
Until April of this year, fast radio bursts (FRBs) were ever recorded only from outside the galaxy, usually from sources millions of light years away. The first was discovered in 2007, and since then astronomers have been trying to figure out what causes them.
As the name suggests, FRBs are bursts of extremely powerful radio waves found in the sky, some of which release more energy than hundreds of millions of suns. They only last a millisecond.
Since most sources of fast radio bursts seem to flare up once and no repetition is detected, they are highly unpredictable. In addition, the ones we detect usually come so far that our telescopes cannot distinguish individual stars. Both of these characteristics make it difficult to track the FRB to either the exact source galaxy or a known cause.
But SGR 1935 + 2154 is only 30,000 light-years away. On April 28, 2020, it spat out a massive millisecond pulse that has since been dubbed FRB 200428 under the fast radio transmission naming convention.
Once the signal strength was adjusted for distance, FRB 200428 was not as powerful as the extragalactic fast radio bursts, but everything else was in line with the profile.
"If the same signal came from a nearby galaxy, such as one of the closest typical FRB galaxies, it would look like an FRB to us," said astronomer Srinivas Kulkarni of the California Institute of Technology. "We've never seen anything like it before."
We don't know much about the three new bursts yet. Since scientists are still working on the data, it is possible that some of the early findings could change, Goode said. But now we can say that they are both similar and not similar to FRB 200428.
They are a little less powerful again, but they are all still incredibly strong, and they all lasted only milliseconds.
"Although less bright than those detected earlier this year, they are still very bright flares that we would see if they were extragalactic," Goode added.
"One of the more interesting aspects of this discovery is that our three bursts appear to have occurred during the same rotation period. The magnetar is known to rotate every ~ 3.24 seconds, but our first and second bursts were separated by 0.954 seconds, and the second and third were separated by 1.949 seconds. This is a bit unusual, and I think we will look at it later. "
This could reveal something new and useful about the behavior of magnetars, because – let's face it – they're pretty weird.
Magnetars, of which only 24 have been confirmed to date, are neutron stars; it is the collapsed core of a dead star, not massive enough to turn into a black hole. Neutron stars are small and dense, about 20 kilometers in diameter, with a maximum mass of about two Suns. But magnetars add something else to this: a stunningly powerful magnetic field.
These stunning fields are about a quadrillion times more powerful than Earth's magnetic field and a thousand times more powerful than a normal neutron star. And we still do not fully understand how they came to this.
But we know that magnetars have periods of activity. As gravity tries to hold the star together – an internal force – the magnetic field pulling outward is so powerful that it distorts the star's shape. This results in a constant voltage that sometimes causes giant starquakes and giant magnetic flares. SGR 1935 + 2154 is undergoing such activity, which suggests a link between magnetar attacks and at least some FRBs.
Obviously, astronomers have found that the source of the first intragalactic FRBs is of great interest. When CHIME / FRB reported their discovery, other astronomers decided to look at the star, including a team led by Zhu Weiwei of the National Astronomical Observatory of China, which had access to FAST, the largest single-aperture radio telescope in the world.
And they discovered something interesting, which was also reported on the astronomer's Telegram – pulsed radio emission. These radio pulses were nowhere near as strong as the bursts, but they are extremely rare: if confirmed, SGR 1935 + 2154 will only be the sixth pulsed radio frequency magnetar. And the pulse period turned out to be equal to 3.24781 seconds – almost exactly the rotation period of the star.
This is curious, because until now astronomers have not been able to find a connection between magnetars and radio pulsars. Pulsars are another type of neutron star; they have a more normal magnetic field, but they pulsate with radio waves as they spin, and astronomers have long tried to figure out how the two types of stars are related.
Earlier this year, Australian astronomers identified a magnetar that behaved like a radio pulsar – a possible "missing link" between the two and evidence that at least some magnetars could evolve into pulsars. SGR 1935 + 2154 might be another piece of the puzzle.
"Based on these results and the increasing burst activity, we hypothesize that the magnetar may be in the process of transforming into an active radio pulsar," Weiwei's team wrote.
Starlite: a mysterious material whose recipe was taken to the grave
Enthusiasts continue to struggle with the riddle of the unique material, the creator of which died without revealing the secret recipe.
At the dawn of the 1990s, reports began to appear in the world media about the creation of a new plastic material that could withstand heating to incredible temperatures – up to those that develop during a fire or on the shell of a spacecraft when passing through the atmosphere. Such statements were very embarrassing for scientists also because the author of the find was a man without a diploma or any formal education at all – the British hairdresser Maurice Ward.
Starlite – this name was invented by the granddaughter of Maurice Ward – was repeatedly tested by NASA as a possible heat insulator, the military and large corporations looked closely at it. The author did not refuse to provide samples for research, but he kept the recipe in complete secret, not sharing it with anyone – until 2011, when Maurice died, taking this secret with him. Perhaps thanks to this twist, the plot did not disappear into oblivion along with Petrik filters and other "miracle inventions", and the history of the mysterious Starlite continues to this day.
According to Ward himself (by the way, his personal blog and YouTube channel survived on the Internet), he was prompted to search for fire-resistant material by a television report, from which he learned that many victims of fires die from poisoning by the caustic smoke of burning plastic. Previously, the hairdresser dabbled in the search for his own shampoo recipes, but around 1986 he completely devoted himself to a new venture. Three years later, the composition was found – and, of course, it turned out to be incredibly simple and included the most common store ingredients.
It was not easy for the "genius upstart" to break through, and over the next few years he pounded the thresholds of laboratories and companies without any benefit. Fate smiled only in 1993, when a message about Starlite was published in the authoritative International Defense Review. It referred to "amazing results" from some of the independent experts who tested Starlite. According to some reports, the material did not burn at temperatures up to 10,000 ° C and was not supplied even by a high-power laser.
Moreover, in the same 1993, the incredible thermal insulation properties of Starlite were demonstrated to the public. On the Air Force show Tomorrow's World, a chicken egg coated with a thin layer of this material was sprayed with the heat of a gas burner for several minutes, after which it was shown that it remained raw inside. It would seem that the deed is done: it remains to find out which of the industrial giants will be interested in the invention and from whom Ward will be able to get legitimate millions, if not billions of dollars for the miracle recipe. The prospects for its use in engineering and construction were discussed. In 1994, the material was tested at Boeing as an alternative to space shuttle thermal insulation ceramics.
It is worth saying that Maurice Ward has always shown a certain paranoia about the security of his invention. As far as is known, he refused any projects in which he could not maintain a controlling 51 percent. The inventor personally monitored all samples that were submitted for testing, making sure that no one had the opportunity to reconstruct the Starlite composition. Ward also did not file a patent so as not to reveal the secret formula and repeatedly announced attempts to steal. The story that took place in the late 1990s is characteristic. It is known that at this time the inventor found partners from Canada and organized a startup Starlite Safety Solutions, which presented the results of material tests to investors. However, according to those same partners, Maurice Ward turned out to be completely incapable of negotiating – "the more he was offered, the more he asked for"
On the one hand, Ward is understandable. If the author's statements are accurate, the find could be worth billions, which no corporation likes to share. On the other hand, Starlite could well change the modern world and save many lives, and perhaps doing so was not entirely ethical. Again, if all statements about the properties of this material are true. And this is its main mystery.
Indeed, despite all the doubts of many observers, there is enough authoritative evidence in favor of Starlite every now and then. Thus, Joe Kissell, who wrote about him in 2009, received a letter from Pamela Pohling-Brown, who authored the same article in the International Defense Review. She in every possible way confirmed the reliability of the results presented then and even named the expert who conducted the testing.
"I'm afraid the topic is somehow classified," summed up Pauline-Brown. By the way, Ward's former partners from Canada hinted at the same. It turns out that there is still something to hide?
Maurice Ward has repeatedly stated that, fearing theft, he never even wrote down the recipe on paper, and keeps it in his head – fortunately, it is quite simple. According to him, the secret has been entrusted to only a few closest family members – however, they have not shown much activity since the death of the inventor in 2011. In 2013, two of Ward's daughters announced the sale of a "certain version" of Starlite to the American company Thermashield, but the third said that she had kept the "best" formula. And since then nothing has been heard about Thermashield, and the company's website has not been revoked.
But there are plenty of hypotheses and speculations about the composition of Starlite. They find the main clues all in the same publication by Pamela Pauline-Brown, where the following was said.
"It consists of a set of organic polymers and copolymers with organic and inorganic additives, including borates, small amounts of ceramics and other barrier ingredients, for a total of 21. Perhaps uniquely, this thermally and explosion-proof material contains up to 90 percent organic matter."
Armed with this data, yet another "genius self-taught" reproduced the recipe. Canadian Troy Hurtubise, known for developing the bear-repelling suit – and for testing inventions on himself – said he found the same or a similar recipe and demonstrated it under the name Firepaste. However, in 2014 he died in a car accident – as if the material really surrounds the halo of special operations.

Lost 73 lbs
Won $1,221
"This was the hardest thing I've ever done, but DietBet has been my saving grace."
In the fall of 2012, after struggling to get pregnant with our second child, I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. I was 271 pounds, the heaviest I had ever been.
My doctor urged me to lose 10 to 20 pounds, saying that it would help me conceive and I would feel much better. I don't even know if I realized then how bad I felt, but looking back, I was so unhealthy: I had acne and anxiety, I slept all the time, and I couldn't keep up with my family. But it took being unable to get pregnant for me to start caring.
I was able to lose the 10 to 20 pounds on my own, and conceived our daughter Aubrey. Throughout my pregnancy with her, I did feel better. I knew that once she was born, it would be time for a life change. But when she came in October 2013, I felt completely discouraged. As a mom of two with a firefighter husband who is gone every third day, changing my lifestyle that drastically felt impossible. I was able to lose a good amount of weight on my own—44 pounds—but then I hit a wall.
That's when a friend told me about DietBet—and because as a mom of two in need of motivation, I knew that betting on myself was the only way to do it.
The accountability of DietBet was exactly what I needed. The unofficial weigh-ins were there for me to use as much as I wanted, and I vowed to check in every day and see my progress. Some days there was amazing progress, and some days nothing—but those weigh-ins taught me a lot about what different foods and lifestyle choices were doing to my body. The scale wouldn't lie to me, and DietBet's progress chart wouldn't lie. It was like having somebody to answer to all the time. As I made progress, I loved watching my pictures change on DietBet!
With DietBet giving me motivation and accountability, I was able to lose weight strictly with diet and exercise. I took up running twice a week and going to the gym two to three times a week. That first workout, it took me 18 minutes to walk a mile, and I set a goal to get faster and go for longer. I moved up to 5k, then 7k, then 10k, and I just finished my first half marathon in January. I didn't walk one step—I was able to run the entire thing!
Eventually, I lost 70 pounds, reaching my current weight of 157 pounds. This was the hardest thing I've ever done, but DietBet has been my saving grace. I've completed three Transformers to get here, and each one pulls me right back into check. I feel like I have every excuse in the book to quit—two young children, a husband with odd hours, working full time—but DietBet and the community remind me I'm not alone and I never will be in this. I can't wait to try the Maintainer once it's ready!
Losing the weight has let me do so many things. I went ziplining with a bunch of friends when I crossed the 100-pound threshold, which I wouldn't have been able to do before because of weight requirements and the hiking aspect. It was amazing. I also used the winnings from my first two Transformers as gas money to go to Disney World! We went in June both years, because the heat no longer bothers me like it used to, and I was able to ride on roller coasters that I couldn't before. My third Transformer is funding a hotel for a weekend getaway in California with my husband. DietBet has opened so many doors for what I can do physically, and made it possible financially to do them!
It's also been about the things I didn't even notice I couldn't do before…sitting on the floor with my kids with my legs folded; crossing my legs; buying clothes at all stores! We went to a wedding and I danced with my husband all night. I didn't realize I couldn't do that before, but while we were dancing, it occurred to me that I hadn't taken any breaks. It was awesome!
My change has also inspired a wave of people in my life changing their lifestyles. At least five people I know have lost weight dramatically and healthily after seeing that I can do it. And several of them also used DietBet!
Thank you DietBet!

DeLauro pitches in to help Shelton fire victims during visit
Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro helps sort clothing items donated for victims of the fire in downtown Shelton with others on Tuesday morning at the Echo Hose Hook & Ladder Company firehouse on Coram Avenue. (Photo by Robin Walluck)
The early morning fire on Monday displaced occupants of 24 apartments. Donations of clothing and food still are being accepted at the firehouse. Residents of the apartments lost all their belongings in the fire.
DeLauro, whose U.S. House district includes downtown Shelton, was in the city to tour the fire scene, meet with city officials and those impacted by the blaze, and to discuss small business loans that are available for businesses impacted by the blaze.
