Andrew Coates Interview (Black Cab)
We catch-up with Andrew Coates from the truly awesome Black Cab who will be playing at Melbourne's SUPERSENSE program at the Arts Centre!
What are you most looking forward to Melbourne's SUPERSENSE MINIMAL program?
Evoking some of the great Krautrock and Kosmisch sounds from some amazing 1970's German artists we've always loved (like Neue, Harmonium, Can and 1970's Tangerine Dream). Not quite sure how we'll go about this but it'll def. be A Thing. It's super weird that we've supported both Tangerine Dream and Can's Damo Suzuki. So we're obviously now experts.
Can you explain your involvement in the program?
No idea! I think they needed some local synth weirdness with a kraut flavor which kinda narrowed it down. We're happy to be playing with some many avant-garde guns.
How would you describe Black Cab's style?
We've ranged from guitar drone to electronic dance but always with some weird droney edge with a preference for sounds from the 70's. MINIMAL will be us off the leash with lots of experimentation.
What does the future hold for Black Cab?
More pain. Less gain. As is the case for all musicians in the 21st century. MINIMAL will be a fun change from the regular grind.
Growing up Andrew, what singers or musicians inspired you?
I grew up in Shepparton in central Victorian so initially it was all those terrible K-Tel music compilations like:
Then I hit the Big Smoke and it was suddenly Throbbing Gristle, Joy Division, SWANS, Smiths, Cure, Kraftwerk, The Fall, Neue, Brian Eno, Harmonium and anything super weird such as Zoviet France, Whitehouse and Big Black. Now that I'm kinda old its Miles David, Bill Evans, Coltrane and Bach.
If you could meet any musician dead or alive, who would it be and why?
Morrisey would be a hoot but difficult and his politics are increasingly on the nose. Same with Frank Sinatra, but he'd be fun to hang out with. I think for sheer entertainment value I'd choose the late Mark E Smith in some shabby pub in Manchester. I'd have to buy the drinks of course.
Akira, how did you get involved in this cult classic?
We were asked by Hear My Eye's to score an alternative soundtrack and perform it live to the film (sans original music) at Melbourne's Astor Theatre with live taiko drums. It was fun and the music that resulted was then released as a sort of tribute to great Japanese sci-fi anime (Akira, Ghost In The Shell etc). One track Nightflight has notched up 500k Spotify streams so it's done OK for us. We're planning more released like this next year.
Where did you get your inspirations for the original score?
Once we had the taiko drums nailed it was then about pulling in sounds that evoke wonder, like Vangelis did for Bladerunner and Aguirre Wrath Of God.
Thoughts on the Netflix Akira?
Is this a reference to the troubled live action movie? Not sure how they'll pull it off – the fans of the original are super hard nosed.
Lastly, besides Melbourne's SUPERSENSE MINIMAL program, what else do you have planned here?
We're playing the Kyneton Music Festival in October, then celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Rolling Stones' disastrous free concert at Altamont with a special gig at Melbourne's Howler on Dec 5th which will be an immersive experience of the chaos that was Altamont.

2016 U.S. Presidential and Congressional Elections: Preliminary Observations and Potential Implications for Financial Services Legislation and RegulationSullivan & Cromwell LLP - November 15, 2016
The Republican Party emerged from last week's elections having won control of the White House and retained slightly reduced majorities in both chambers of Congress. These electoral outcomes could pave the way for the incoming Trump Administration and Congressional Republicans to pursue a financial services regulatory and legislative agenda that may substantially reshape the post-crisis regulatory framework and is certain to result in key personnel changes at the financial regulatory agencies. The potential implications of these changes could be far-reaching for financial services companies of all kinds.
It is still too early to speculate on the exact contours of the Trump Administration's financial services policy, let alone its interplay with the legislative agenda advanced by Congressional Republicans and the regulatory initiatives of the outgoing Obama Administration. Early indications from the Trump transition team, however, may provide a window into the potential objectives of financial services policy under the Trump Administration, including, most notably, the transition team's statement shortly after the election that the President-elect's "Financial Services Policy Implementation team will be working to dismantle the Dodd-Frank Act and replace it with new policies to encourage economic growth and job creation."
While we await additional details on the President-elect's financial services policy agenda, we believe a possible blueprint for financial regulatory reform may be found in several legislative proposals that Republican lawmakers in the House and Senate have advanced in the current Congress. Of particular note are two Republican bills—one introduced in the House and the other in the Senate, each authored by the Chairman of the relevant financial services committee and approved in committee by party-line vote—that would significantly scale back, and in some cases repeal, key elements of the post-crisis regulatory framework established under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. This memorandum outlines key provisions of these Republican proposals and certain other 2016 legislative initiatives, elements of which may be embraced by the incoming Trump Administration.

For anyone looking for a unique way to pay tribute to a lost loved one, the Town of Yarmouth may have just the solution. The Community Asset Donation Program allows individuals and organizations to make a general donation of items such as a tree, bench, work of art, or other structure as a way to recognize and honour others through a lasting tribute.
The contributions made through this program benefits our beautiful parks, urban forest, green spaces, the natural environment and the community as a whole. A number of individuals have found the program to be the ideal way to remember someone special while also making a valuable contribution toward beautifying our town. If you're thinking of exploring the program in the same way, take a few minutes to read the short stories below from a few who have.
Ken Dennis on naming a bench at the top of Frost Park in Memory of his wife Sandy Dennis
There had been several ideas tossed around by various groups and individuals as to how to remember Sandy. Planting a tree or naming an event were mentioned. I came across some personalized benches and thought that would be a good idea. In particular, the bench that Councillor (Heather) Hatfield had placed for her husband Rick stood out. She directed me to see Todd Muise with the Town of Yarmouth, who explained the program. As we discussed locations, we happened to be in front of Frost Park and it "clicked". What a perfect spot. Sandy was a councillor for six years up until her death and this location was very close to Town Hall. She was a founding member of Communities in Bloom Yarmouth and strived to improve Main Street. The chosen location is on Main Street, directly in front of Frost Park. Sandy loved Veterans and the Military and every year that she had her business on Main Street she had a Remembrance Day window display honouring Veterans. Furthermore, she organized the Yarmouth Cenotaph Remembrance Day Service the last three years of her life. This bench is situated right in front of Frost Park named after a decorated war veteran and directly across from and overlooking the Yarmouth Cenotaph. The inscription "Veteran's Rest" is meant to be a place where veterans or anyone for that matter can sit and view the Yarmouth Cenotaph. The bench is intended to remember Sandy and that her memory lives on. We all agreed that the inscription was appropriate.
Anita Christian on naming a bench in Sealed Landers Park after her friend Linda Robertson Wyman
Linda Robertson grew up in Yarmouth. Her Dad Johnny Robertson owned the first Canadian Tire Stores in town, including the first store on Main Street, one on Collins Street in the 50s where Linda loved working, and a newer store on Starrs Road in the 70s. Linda was one person who you could simply never forget, and to her there was nothing as precious as old friends. She remembered everything about the 'old' days in Yarmouth. She never forgot a friend and never forgot to acknowledge a friend's remarks, or photos, or life stories. Linda always responded in a positive and caring way to anything her many friends were going through. She was as genuine as you could get. You could always depend on Linda to be there with a kind word. She loved to get together with her old Yarmouth friends and cousins and just loved to be around friends and family. I started a High School group on Facebook for those of us who went to YCMHS in the '60s and early '70s and Linda was one of the first to join. She was there every day with her usual kind and supportive comments.
Sadly, Linda passed away suddenly last summer after a camping trip. It was such a shock to us all and right away I thought 'what can we as a group do to keep Linda's memory alive'? Linda loved Lake Milo and spent her early years in Milton. I started talking to her cousins to get their input and we decided that a bench at Sealed Landers Park would be perfect. I asked people in the group what they thought of that idea and everyone was so positive and encouraging.
With the help of Yarmouth friends, I found out how to contact Sybil Stevens, Accountant at the Town Office and Todd Muise of the Town of Yarmouth Parks Department. Sybil helped me set up Linda's Memorial Fund and responded to me immediately the many times I requested the amount in the Fund. Todd has been so helpful every step of the way. He made the whole process easy. Whenever I had a question or suggestion, he got back to me right away. We met with him last fall in Sealed Landers Park and he had an idea for the perfect spot for Linda's bench. His crew installed the bench two weeks ago and the same day planted a yellow magnolia tree nearby with a memorial plaque. The whole process from the conception to completion was trouble free and we could not be happier with "Linda's spot". We will be waiting for the time when we can all gather in her spot to reflect on what she meant to so many. I thank everyone who has helped to make this idea a reality.
Sabrina Fevens on naming a bench at the top of Frost Park in Memory of her mother Susan Penney-LeBlanc
"November of 2020 marked the 10th anniversary of my mother's passing. She left us just a few weeks shy of her 60th birthday. During my elementary and junior high years, we lived in town and walked downtown to shop. She always conveniently needed a break by the time we got to the park. Mom always loved to 'people watch' and there was never a time she would walk by Frost Park without taking a break on one of these benches. Our family felt it was best to honour her memory by placing a bench in front of the park on Main Street because taking a break on those benches is what she always loved to do. So we came together and raised the money, and then Todd Muise took care of the rest. I remember her and wave every time I see the bench."
Councillor Heather Hatfield on naming a bench in Heritage Park in Memory of her husband Rick J. Doucette
For me placing a bench in Heritage Park in Rick's memory was an act of remembrance and healing. The park and the harbour are the view from our backyard so it was the perfect place for it. I can now sit in my backyard and see the bench. I love that I can go for a walk through the park and spend a few minutes sitting on the bench thinking of him. It gives me joy and I know that he would love it.
Doing it through the Community Asset Program was so easy. Todd Muise took care of everything for me all I had to do was pay. I would encourage anyone wanting to do the same to contact Todd Muise for information. It's a great way to give back to the community.

In my last (non-auto-generated) post, I wrote about the disparity between two different methods of tracking grocery costs, one from the USDA and one from the Consumer Expenditure Survey.
I heard back from Mark Lino, Senior Economist at the USDA, and he cleared things up. The difference is simple:
USDA assumes all meals are eaten at home, while the CE survey tracks actual spending habits (I'm guessing every American eats out at least one time per month). I'm not trying to fault Lino or the USDA, since their job is to figure out the most thrifty way to put an optimal amount of nutritious food in your body for a month. After all, their data are what the Food Stamps program is based on.
So to compare apples-to-apples, take a look at the actual food spending of the 2.5 person "unit" in the CE survey, compared to the USDA monthly food budget (adjusted to 2.5 people):
|CE Survey:
The data would suggest that the average person could save only $30 a month if they never went out to eat. Is that worth it? As the husband of a "foodie" who loves trying new and adventurous dishes, it's definitely not worth the savings.
This gets to the heart of what being frugal is all about. As The Simple Dollar put it so succinctly last week, frugality isn't about squeezing every penny out of everything. It's about maximizing the value of the things you're doing, and "value" doesn't always mean "money."

Do tell...Keep us updated on the progress and of course the final product. Might i suggest that you tell the fabricator to keep track of the design so that they can easily replicate. If the final design is "bad aSS" share their contact info and tell them to get ready for some orders!!!I'm having a rack built right now. I need it for my road trip to sturgis. The rack will mount to the seat bracket. Similar to a towing receiver. Just working on the mock up now. I wanted to be able to remove it easily and just use it when needed.
Any progress with the luggage rack? I am really looking forward to a functional luggage rack.More progress
Valid point! However I strapped on a backpack of approximately 5kgs containing all my luggage of a 3 day tour. Didn´t notice any negative influence.Looks great! My only concern would be, that you will increase the weight of the unsprung mass rapidly if you put luggage there. So I would be really curious about your experience how the rear suspension performs with luggage.
Thank you sir!! I checked on the US Amazon site couldn't find it there!!!Sure thing!
It´s made by fehling.de in Germany, originally for a Yamaha XV 950 R, the number in their catalogue is 6133 BR YA XV 950 R. Price should be around 100 Euros.
Or check here, I think there are numerous resellers:

Ford Repairs Austin Police SUVs, But Questions Linger
DETROIT (WWJ/AP) - Ford Motor Co. has begun repairing Ford Explorer SUVs in Austin, Texas, that were pulled off police duty because exhaust containing carbon monoxide was seeping into them.
But the company faces lingering questions about the safety of thousands of other Explorers on the road.
Austin city spokesman David Green said a team from Ford took five of the police department's Explorers to local dealers Monday to teach them how to fix the problem.
Green says the city will likely send its entire fleet out for repairs. He didn't know how long it would take to get them all fixed.
Austin pulled nearly 400 Explorers off its patrol fleet late last month because of concerns about carbon monoxide.
Explorer Chief Engineer Bill Gubing telling WWJ AutoBeat Reporter Jeff Gilbert that in every case where they've filled holes caused by the addition of lights and other after market gear, the change has been immediate.
"And in the retest process the C-O monitors have picked up little to no C-O in the cabin of the vehicle," said Gubing.
Ford says it's still investigating complaints of exhaust fumes in its non-police Explorers and is cooperating with the government investigation.

Remember the Canopy Growth Corp (TSX:WEED)(NYSE:CGC)/Constellation Brands (NYSE:STZ) acquisition?
Last year, it was one of the biggest stories in the Canadian markets. After months of legalization hype, Constellation announced in August that it would be acquiring a huge $5 billion stake in Canopy, bringing its total ownership to 35%. The acquisition began a massive rally in weed stocks that raised not only Canopy, but also most of its competitors.
Since last fall, the Constellation deal has seen few new developments. But the company's CEO recently spoke out in a rare public comment that may reveal why Constellation was willing to pay so much in the 2018 deal.
Constellation CEO says Canopy headed to $1 billion in annual revenue
In a recent conference call, Constellation Brands CEO Bill Newlands claimed that Canopy Growth would hit $1 billion in revenue by 2020. This was not the first time that Newlands made this claim. However, it was the first time he was able to back it up with clear data. Using Canopy's $83 million in Q3 revenue and 282% net revenue growth rate, he concluded that a "run rate" of $1 billion was within striking distance.
Why $1 billion is such a crucial benchmark
You see, $1 billion in revenue is a crucial milestone for Constellation Brands for one simple reason: its stake in Canopy is massive. Not only did it invest $5 billion in Canopy stock last year, but it took a smaller stake a few months prior to that. This is a company with a huge chunk of coin riding on Canada's largest weed stock. A valuation of $5 billion implies that Canopy will be worth that much from its discounted future cash flows–notwithstanding the possibility of Constellation simply dumping its Canopy shares at a high price.
For Canopy to be worth that much over, say, a 50-year period, it needs to generate $100 million a year in net income for 50 years. Given the typical profit margins in the cannabis space, the company would therefore have to start doing well over a billion in sales to be worth what Constellation paid for it.
Canopy's revenue growth
It's definitely within the realm of possibility that Canopy could hit $1 billion in revenue this year or the next. Judging by last quarter's sales, the company could earn up to $332 million this year. If last quarter's net revenue growth rate stays steady into next year at 280%, then that $332 million could rise to $929 million next year. That's just a hair short of a billion.
Also, if Canopy sees accelerating revenue growth this year, it's not impossible that the company could even hit the $1 billion mark before 2019 is out. However, it would require significant acceleration, as Canopy's quarter by quarter revenue growth in 2018 was not amazing. In Q2 (which corresponds to Q3 of the 2018 calendar year), for example, revenue was actually down from Q1, at $23 million vs $25 million.
You might be missing out on one of the biggest opportunities in Canadian investing history…
Marijuana was legalized across Canada on October 17th, and a little-known Canadian company just unlocked what some experts think could be the key to profiting off the coming marijuana boom.
Besides making key partnerships with Facebook and Amazon, they've just made a game-changing deal with the Ontario government.
One grassroots Canadian company has already begun introducing this technology to the market – which is why legendary Canadian investor Iain Butler thinks they have a leg up on Amazon in this once-in-a-generation tech race.
This is the company we think you should strongly consider having in your portfolio if you want to position yourself wisely for the coming marijuana boom.

The No. 7 Duke Blue Devils aim to get back in the win column on Friday when they host Delaware in Durham, N.C.
Duke (2-1) is coming off its first loss of the season — and the first of rookie head coach Jon Scheyer's tenure — after falling 69-64 to reigning national champions Kansas on Tuesday night in Indianapolis, Ind.
The No. 6 Jayhawks shot 46.3 percent from the floor and forced the Blue Devils into 18 turnovers.
Scheyer called the loss a "big-time learning experience" for his group, which includes seven freshmen and four transfers.
"I thought our guys showed great heart, great resiliency in that second half to gain the lead. And really made some big-time plays," Scheyer said. "But overall, those possessions add up through 40 minutes, where you have 18 turnovers. I mean, that's obviously a big stat right there and just valuing and taking care of the ball. But a lot to learn from this."
Duke was led by freshman Kyle Filipowski, who finished with 17 points and 14 rebounds. Filipowski is the first Duke player to start his career with three consecutive double-doubles.
Jeremy Roach — the lone returning starter from last season's team that went to the Final Four — had 16 points and four rebounds.
The Blue Devils made just 3-of-21 shots from behind the arc — a horrendous 14.3 percent mark. That's the worst Duke has shot from 3-point land since a neutral-site win over Kentucky last November.
It's clear that, just like last season, this Duke team has some growing pains to go through.
"There's no question that's the best form of learning," Scheyer said. "Just being in these moments, there's no way to simulate it. That doesn't mean I'm happy or I'm enjoying this loss by any means. You have to hate it and learn from it, grow from it. But playing in the Champions Classic every year, of course you want to come away winning, but you probably learn more when you lose."
Aside from Filipowski and Roach, Mark Mitchell is the other Blue Devils averaging double-digits in scoring with 12.7 points and 4.3 rebounds per game.
Highly touted freshman Dariq Whitehead has yet to suit up for the Blue Devils this season as he's recovering from preseason foot surgery. Scheyer said Tuesday that Whitehead is "progressing," but he "probably" won't play Friday.
That's good news for Delaware (1-1), which lost its only game this season against a Division I opponent, falling 75-71 at Air Force on Nov. 11.
The Blue Hens allowed the Falcons to shoot 47.2 percent from the floor, and Delaware sent Air Force to the free throw line 25 times. Jameer Nelson Jr. led Delaware in the loss with 18 points, seven rebounds, two blocks, two steals and two assists.
Against the Blue Devils, Delaware could be at a disadvantage on the boards. The Blue Hens don't have anyone on their roster taller than 6-foot-9. Meanwhile, Duke has five.
"That's who we are right now," Blue Hens coach Martin Ingelsby told the Delaware News Journal. "We got to try to figure it out. I think we can be more efficient offensively and maybe weather a little bit inside, a little stuff on the backboard, but we'll see."
This is the first time Delaware has faced an ACC team since a 2017 matchup with Notre Dame.

Before Gabe and I became something of an item, I lived with roommates and Stephanie– this month's honoree– was one of them. Although she is a few years older than I am, Stephanie went to the same high school as me and was also a fan of writing. The more she saw me write to pen pals, the more she became interested in the hobby and it is something she has done off and on ever since. Now, more than ever, she seems to be "on" and that's why she got to have her round of Q&A with SK 😀
SK: How do you feel about being Pen Pal of the Month?
Stephanie: I feel really special and honored. It really made my day/week thus far. It also makes me happy that I have a pen pal that does something so cool.
SK: What has been your favorite thing about pen palling?
Stephanie: I love my old pals because I have had two since I started penpaling –you, Kate, being one of them. I love knowing what your life is up to. I enjoy my new pals as I am learning about new people. But I love the art of putting pen to paper.
SK: What, if anything, is your least favorite thing about it?
Stephanie: I don't like that I tend to write long letters and some pals respond with a paragraph. Also the waiting, I feel like I stalk the mail man.
SK: Why do you like writing me?
Stephanie: I like writing you because you're dependable; I always know I'll hear back from you and you give me honest advice in a lovable way. I enjoy your letters; you use a lot of creativity in them. I wish I had that talent. You're the pal I've had the longest and I really enjoy having you as one.
SK: And what do you like about September?
Stephanie: I normally enjoy the cool weather. And I get to start planning for my daughter Zoey's birthday that's in October. I love the fall. And the trailer park is silent cause all the kids go back to school. At the end of September the apple cider comes out and pumpkins! Fall is my favorite season after all.
Fall is my favorite season, too, though it seems crazy to me that it's here already! Just a few days until my little guy starts preschool! I have a feeling I'm going to be incredibly grateful for whatever letters I get over the next few weeks and the distraction they provide. Hopefully Stephanie's are among them 😀
Sincerely, Kate ~!~

Calabasas trounces Eastvale Roosevelt to advance to championship game
EASTVALE – Kobe Ah-Hong put the finishing touches on top-ranked Calabasas' 58-21 Southern Section Division 5 semifinals triumph over Eastvale Roosevelt on Friday night.
Ah-Hong pounced on a loose ball in the end zone, a fumble by Roosevelt QB Jeremy Moussa, with a running clock stopping at 1:25 on the game's final touchdown.
It was an offensive onslaught for the defending CIF Western Division champion Coyotes (13-0), who trounced a 10-3 Mustangs' team from the Big VIII League where state champion Corona Centennial plays.
"This year's team is much better than our team last year," said Coyote senior lineman Elijah Elisara, who kept Mustang defenders off his QB, Tristan Gebbia, who completed 24-of-35 passes for 479 yards and 5 touchdown passes.
"We haven't lost a game this year," said Elisara, a 5-foot, 11-inch, 280-pounder. "Last year, we lost twice."
Elisara had a hard time remembering if any Coyote defense has sacked Gebbia this season. "Maybe a couple," he said.
The strong-armed Gebbia came out throwing again, finding Brendan Radley-Hiles on the Coyotes' first two TD strikes – both 15-yarders. Darnay Holmes snagged the next two, on 21 and 41-yard passes.
When the first quarter ended, the hard-hitting Coyote quarterback had 337 yards passing on 15 completions.
Talk along the sidelines from coaches was simple: "We can get 35 by halftime."
It was 41-0 courtesy of a Mark Eddy 23-yard field goal and a 45-yard Gebbia touchdown pass to Radley-Hiles. The Coyotes' receiver seemed to be surrounded by a trio of Mustang defenders after 10 yards downfield, but head fakes sent one Mustang defender one way while two other defenders were unable to bring him down.
Gebbia's halftime total included 21 completions, 455 yards and 5 TD passes.
The Coyotes' top receiver was Nikko Hall, who caught 7 passes for 160 yards, including a 23-yard TD. Radley-Hiles added six more catches for 122 yards.
Holmes racked up 99 yards on three Gebbia passes.
Meanwhile, Calabasas' defense sacked Moussa five times, getting a Jackson DeSpain interception, plus the late-game fumble recovery.
As for special teams, Calabasas held the Mustangs under 18 yards on eight returns.
One footnote: Roosevelt beat Riverside King, 38-35, during a Big VIII showdown earlier this season – the same team that Calabasas will be playing for this year's Div. 5 championship.
It might be a scary thought for the Wolves to hear Elisara's post-game pronouncement after his team's easy triumph over a school from King's league.
"We can keep getting better," he said.

This story was originally published on GE Reports.
Think of it as Burning Man for flying enthusiasts. Here, you can almost smell freedom, independence and the sense that anything is possible mixing in the air with aviation fuel.
The formal name for the gathering is the EAA AirVentures Oshkosh fly-in. It features daily airshows displaying everything from acrobats and wing walkers to jet-powered biplanes and the latest commercial and military aircraft.
There will be 500,000 people walking around the Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, this week—including 10,000 pilots who fly in their planes here— checking out the homemade airplanes and camping under the wings, under the stars. We spent a day with them.
World War II pilot Paul Poberezny, who founded the airshow in his basement in Milwaukee in 1953, was born to a poor Midwest family, but "ended up being a millionaire because I have a million friends," he told AVweb, a news site for pilots. "We're a family. The early members would bring their kids and later on we'd see the kids come and they'd be married, then years later those kids would come with their grandkids."
Poberezny could be talking about GE Aviation executive Brad Mottier, who first flew in as a teenager with his father and arrived this year in his yellow Aviat Husky, or Jeff Beam, a GE Aviation engineer who flew his own biplane here and is learning to build his next plane, a Piper, at this year's event.
Poberezny died three years ago, but his wealth obviously lives on. GE Reports is here this week, also, and we are sharing highlights on Periscope, GE's Snapchat account and this site. We brought you a day at Oshkosh in pictures.

Water dog detectives: Canines help emergency crews find submerged bodies
WAYNESVILLE -- Jason LaGore pulled the frozen body part from the red-and-white Coleman cooler in the bed of his pickup truck, tucked it inside a wire cage to hold it together over time, tethered the contraption to a tree limb and let it sink eight feet into the middle of Caesar Creek Lake.
He waited a few minutes for the scent to travel up through the water.
Then LaGore, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources officer who trains the department's six-dog K-9 unit, strapped a life vest onto Sarge, his 2-year-old Labrador retriever, and together they boarded a small boat.
As the vessel motored out across the lake, LaGore waved his hand toward the water and gave Sarge his command: Find Fred. The dog immediately dropped his head over the bow of the boat and went to work, sniffing for a scent from the gases and oils that a cadaver gives off.
The dogs, used by the state for on-water searches since 2012, are getting quite a workout this year. In all of 2016, the state's search dogs were used on water 13 times; so far this year, they've been out 21 times, and there's plenty of summer left.
The 2017 number doesn't necessarily mean that many more incidents, but it reflects that the state added two dogs this year and that the dogs are sometimes deployed on consecutive days to try and make a find.
The dogs aren't used only on the water. They are also variously trained in drug detection, suspect searches, tracking and finding of missing persons on land, handler protection and other tasks.
In addition to the handler's salaries, the dogs cost the state about $8,000 a year, said ODNR spokeswoman Carey Santiana.
Scent sleuthing is not an exact science: Even a little wind can carry a body's scent and scatter it. And plenty of skeptics must be converted, each seeing in person that these dogs indeed can be trained to sniff out a submerged body.
"I thought this was all voodoo," said Chad Cruset, a Natural Resources officer. He's also a longtime sonar operator who was piloting the boat for LaGore, Sarge and two other state handlers and their canine partners on a recent training mission at Caesar Creek Lake in Warren County.
Over time, he said, he watched as each animal put more than a year of training into action. Sometimes -- especially, say, when there's an empty boat or kayak and no one actually saw where a missing person first went under -- searchers are faced with hundreds of acres of water to scan.
Sonar technology is only so good, and often of little use in murky and deep waters. It's best used when an object has been pinpointed and an image can be used to decide whether it is, in fact, a body or instead maybe just a tree stump or debris. Then a dive team can be sent in.
The dogs, however, pinpoint the scent and help searchers focus on a more manageable area in less time.
"If a dog can get me even within 50 or 100 yards, that's huge," Cruset said. "These dogs are stallions."
Convincing skeptics
LaGore, a lifelong dog lover assigned to ODNR's Southwest Ohio Park and Watercraft District, is more than a bit uncomfortable as the on-water searches by dogs gain attention. He would just as soon work in obscurity with his animal partners, which include Ranger, an 8-year-old lab nearing retirement. Yet LaGore is happy to explain what they do, especially whenever a disbeliever asks.
Count Marion County Sheriff Tim Bailey among that latter group.
With the Scioto River running through his county, and many areas prone to flooding, drownings there are not uncommon. But Bailey said he didn't frequently call the state canines for help, because he didn't think they would do any good.
But in May, when two kayakers got into trouble at a lowhead dam, one body was found immediately. The other one was not. LaGore and Sarge and Ranger came to help.
"I thought it was bunk," Bailey said while watching the dogs work on May 23. "But they really are getting us closer, and it is pretty amazing." The second body was found about a day and a half after the kayakers went under.
LaGore trains each of the department's dogs and handlers, and he starts them all on land. Blood in a toy or a body part (on loan from Wright State University's Anatomical Gift Program) is strategically placed in a field or the woods, and the dogs are tracked to it. They are rewarded upon doing so. Eventually, LaGore moves the training to the water.
The animals still smell a body in water because it gives off specific gases and scents immediately after the heart stops, experts say.
Finding Fred
Watching the dogs do their work is amazing, Cruset said as he steered his boat toward the sunken remains with Sarge on the bow, the dog's tail pounding the deck, his head swiveling side to side as he tried to zero in on his target.
"It never gets old," Cruset said. He pointed to the dog. "Now watch this."
As he steered the boat closer to the sunken body parts, Sarge -- short for his registered American Kennel Club name, Sgt. Friday, from the old TV show, "Dragnet" -- grew more excited. He lapped at the water and looked as if he was tasting it. But he wasn't, LaGore said.
Dogs, he explained, have a "Jacobson's organ" that helps them smell. Think, LaGore said, of a snake sticking its tongue out. The reptiles have a Jacobson's organ, and they're "tasting" the air. Dogs do that, too. And as a body moves in the water, it leaves behind its scent. If it got hung up in weeds, for example, the smell lingers and the dogs will even nip at the greenery. It all helps the searchers track a path.
In a real search, versus a training mission, dogs generally are used in tandem -- one runs alone east to west on the water, the other north to south -- to see whether they hit in the same general area. The handlers then use a mapping application on their phones to mark the hits on a grid to let sonar-operators, dive teams and searchers hone in.
So as Sarge got closer to the remains, and the scent he seeks knowing that he will earn a toy for finding, he nipped at the air and water.
Cruset, for this training mission, intentionally steered past the body part.
Sarge got upset.
He looked at LaGore, who was holding tight to a leash so that the dog didn't dive into the lake. He whined. He tried to head to the back of the boat.
"That's it," LaGore said. "He's telling me, Hey, stupid, you went too far."
Cruset circled back. Sarge got excited, dropped his body lower to the boat deck. His tail stopped thumping and went in circles instead.

Confederate Flag's Place at the South Carolina Statehouse Questioned After Church Shooting
The country is reeling from a Wednesday night attack at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal, a historically black church in Charleston, South Carolina, by a white shooter. But while Charleston Police Chief Greg Mullen and Mayor Joseph Riley said at a press briefing that the mass shooting is being treated as a hate crime, a Confederate flag still flies on the grounds of the statehouse in Columbia. Though the debate in South Carolina over the controversial flag is far from new, it has been stoked by Wednesday's shooting.
Edward E. Baptist, a professor of history at Cornell University who focuses on 19th century U.S. history and particularly the history of slavery in the South, took to Twitter with his thoughts about the flag Thursday morning.
"SC's stars and bars flag started as the battle flag of proslavery traitors who refused to accept an election's results. In the course of Civil War, the flag became the symbol of not only slavery and treason, but the murder of black soldiers," he wrote in a series of tweets. He continued:
In the 1950s, the battle flag was revived not just as a symbol of resistance to federally mandated desegregation. The stars and bars was also a symbol of terror: of the violent intimidation of African Americans who dared assert their rights. The stars and bars promised lynching, police violence against protestors and others. And violence against churches. SC's state flag is a flag of slavery. But it is also a flag of terrorism. That terror is among other things anti-religious and particularly, anti-Christian. Churches have been bombed & burned for what it symbolizes. Ministers, worshippers, people singing hymns have been attacked time and time again by those who serve it and those who wave it. So here we are again. SC may lower the pro-terrorism, proslavery, anti-religious flag to half mast for a day. But they plan to raise it again.
Twitter was flooded with comments about the Confederate flag in connection with the Charleston shooting, with many saying that—whether at full mast or half-mast—the flag's presence was problematic.
In October of last year, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley defended the presence of the flag on the statehouse grounds. "What I can tell you is over the last three and a half years, I spent a lot of my days on the phones with CEOs and recruiting jobs to this state," Haley said. "I can honestly say I have not had one conversation with a single CEO about the Confederate flag."
On Thursday, the Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 vote that Texas could reject specialty license plates showing the Confederate flag without violating the First Amendment. Although nine other states allow license plates featuring the flag and "honoring the Sons of Confederate Veterans," according to The New York Times, Texas called the flag offensive.

This is the first in a series of conversations with modern day tea merchants. Really, I just want to know why and how people end up in the tea trade – I don't imagine it's a choice often offered by careers advisors….
My first chat with a tea entrepreneur is with Andrew Cutcliffe. As I learn, Andrew's history as an actor, a hospitality guru and an aficionado of Japan all coalesced to result in the creation of his tea company, Tippity.
When I finally got to chat with Andrew Cutcliffe at his Tippity stall at the Melbourne Tea Festival, it was my second go at wading through the throng to get my cup within range of the tasting pots. On tasting Tippity's Red Chai, I was immediately galvanised to push into the crowd more earnestly. I may have used my elbows.
Once we were chatting, I realised Andrew looked like he was about to fall over with fatigue. He'd got up at 4am to be at the opening of the Festival. 'I pretty much slept for a week after that', he said to me later. 'I lost my voice for two days – for the first time in my life I lost my voice'. Given the jostling crowd surrounding his stall firing a myriad of questions at him, I'm not surprised. It turns out the lost voice was worth it – Tippity signed up three new stockists and two cafes; a bumper haul.
So how does an actor become a tea merchant?
A couple of weeks later, Andrew explains to me just how his life trajectory led him to that moment at Melbourne's convention centre. Andrew has worked for years in the hospitality industry, but first and foremost he's an actor ('acting is my bread and butter'). It was an acting job that took him to Japan and which, literally, changed his life-course. While shooting in Tokyo for five months he fell in love with the language, the food, the culture, and most importantly the Japanese approach to tea. 'The Japanese do everything exceptionally well, they take everything to a new level, but especially tea. I still don't completely understand why I am so attracted to Japan. I think part of it is that they so carefully pick what they take from other cultures – they're not a sell out culture'.
Andrew speaks enthusiastically of 'Kaizen', the Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement, and also 'Wabisabi', the Japanese approach to aesthetics. 'The Japanese approach everything so carefully', he tells me.
Unquenched thirst for tea in Australia
The money accumulated from his Japanese acting job allowed Andrew and his wife, Courtney, to start up Tippity three years ago. Since that moment, the business has grown exponentially. 'It was supposed to be a side hobby, and it's just growing and growing'. Tippity now has now has five staff, including his dad who has come out of retirement to lend a hand!
I asked Andrew what he attributes Tippity's success to. 'Good quality, design and ethics', he says. 'Although we've not done any market research, I think it's about us not cutting corners. We ensure high quality, we maintain an aesthetic approach and we've built in a philanthropic aspect through One Percent for the Planet (an international organisation whose members contribute at least one percent of their annual net profit to environmental causes). Andrew's heading to Sri Lanka later in the year to tour the plantations and is planning to talk first hand to the plantation workers about their needs.
This surprising blossoming of his enterprise made me wonder out loud about the state of the tea industry in Australia. Andrew tells me, 'There is a real hunger for tea, but the market is nowhere near mature. There's lots of start-up, boutique-y companies but Tippity is still flying under the radar'.
If there is time to read?
I just had to ask Andrew about his favourite book. Delightfully, it is 'Oh, The Places You'll Go, by Dr Seuss. 'I don't usually tell people that because they laugh, but its true!', he explains. 'The subtext in Seuss' books is just so rich. He gets humanity more than any other writer'. Andrew also mentions Life Is So Good by George Dawson ('its written by this 101 year old man who learnt to read when he was 98 ') and Catcher in the Rye ('because the way Salinger captures American sensibilities in his books is still resonant now. He totally hit the nail on the head').
Choosing your last brew
And what would Andrew's last ever cuppa be? He replies instantly, 'Midnight White – its a new white tea out of Yunnan in China. I've literally only just started stocking it. It's amazing'.
And as for Tippity's tea?
As I've been bunking down during Melbourne's chilly winter evenings, I've found Tippity's Chai Chai Chai Red a constant and comforting companion. It comes in a beautiful jar, already steeped with local raw honey. I've been brewing it up with soy milk – warming it for around 10 minutes. It gives the kitchen a beautiful fragrance and it's sweetness and spiciness is perfectly warming.
Someone once suggested to me that Earl Grey tea tastes of dirty dishwater and I haven't been able to drink it since. So I thought it only fair that people other than me should determine the worthiness of Tippity's Earl Grey, so I took it into work to share. We sat around at our team meeting daintily sipping our morning Earl Grey. Success! The tea was not only drinkable, but really lovely – the bergamot oil complements the leaves, rather than overpowers them, with none of that strange oiliness you sometimes get. And, I've tentatively started drinking Earl Grey again; I am on the road to rehabilitation.
I can also personally vouch for the peppermint tisane and the houjicha through the fact that my stocks are quickly diminishing.
Friends, put aside your Bushells and your Tetley's. Tippity has nailed the taste and the aesthetics combo, forever solving your tea conundrums. Perhaps pair your cup with a Dr Suess book – we could all do with more tea and more Dr Suess in our lives.
For Sydney-siders, you can catch Andrew (and lots of other amazing tea merchants) at the Sydney Tea Festival this Sunday, 21 August 2016. If you're even slightly into tea, I can highly recommend this as an outing!

It's time to change women's role in sports
Two weeks ago, I was watching the NFL Playoff games at a sports bar and a 30 something guy asked me, "Do you even know who is playing in the game?" His question reminded of one of the reasons I decided to start the Sporting Pink. If you are a female sports fan, you've probably heard "you know a lot about sports for a girl". This is after you've been given a pop quiz to see if you can answer basic questions like " who is playing the game" "what's the mascot" or "name one player on the opposing team".
My normal response would have been something sarcastic, but instead I flipped the script and asked him why he thought I was there. He said, oh feminine girls don't really know much about sports. Talk about a loaded comment!
I know I am not the only girl who has been asked these questions. It's silly. If you're going to test me, ask me something real like: what does cover 2 mean or what is Spider 2 Y Banana? (anyone else love Jon Gruden's QB camp?)
At the heart of these exchanges comes the real question – Why can't I just like football? There are plenty of male armchair quarterbacks who have never played a down of football in their lives and are instantly given more credibility, but why?
Sheryl Sandberg got people talking about how difficult it is for women to be taken seriously in the corporate world without being called bossy or bitchy. (Thank you, Sheryl!) While I also witness this behavior in the board room I actually think it is even more blatant in the sports reporting arena.
Erin Andrews, Alex Flanagan and Rachel Nichols are masters of their craft and know a lot about sports. Why don't we see them at the table? Why are they mainly relegated to the sidelines? Wouldn't it be great to see one of them call a game or provide pre or post game analysis? It doesn't happen but it doesn't mean that it shouldn't. Can a male audience handle a female calling a football game? After all, there are plenty of male broadcasters calling games who haven't played football. (Joe Buck, Chris Fowler, Brent Musberger sound familiar?) Joe Buck is calling the Super Bowl, by the way. What is the difference? It can't really be the make-up and long hair, right? As the lean in phenomenan continues, maybe one day we can close the gap, watch the game without being asked why or being told "you know a lot about sports for a girl"

Black adults friend and fat girls looking for sex lonely older ladies search women seeking married men.Chasing Dreams Hi, Thanks for checking this out. My names . First if you're looking for the guy that has everything figured out and can provide you with online sex chat lines everything, I'm not him. Good luck with your search though. I'm currently unemployed and living with family. Words can't express how awesome it is. Haha Thankfully I can start job hunting in 78 wks. I'm taking the first job offer I get, Hopefully that doesn't take too long to get. I don't really require a great job, it would be nice but with a little luck I wont be there very long anyways. I have to buy xxx more lens mature girl tijuana first, but buy next summer I plan on starting my own Photography business. I can go into more detail if you like, just ask. Not that it pays the greatest but I'm also looking into becoming a high soccer and baseball . I'm mainly interested in baseball but I think soccer could be fun too and there seems to be a shortage of officials. It doesn't pay the greatest, It's more for the love of the game and it helps ensure the can play sports. It does offer a few bucks for your time, so that's a bonus. I plan on going to a couple of mountains this summer to take some . I'm starting out easy with Panther and Bald Mountain. As I get in better shape, I want to try tackling harder mountains. I have a web where I'm going to try an sell some of the pictures I take. I don't expect to sell a ton of pictures but anything I sell is just helping fund my hobby, so it's all a bonus. I haven't really started promoting my yet, I'm waiting to have more pictures up first. So as things progress it could get kind of exciting. To me anyways, you don't necessarily have to share in my excitement. As long as you can tolerate my hobby, I'll be happy. Although if you like hiking and camping that could be a bonus. As for everything else in my life, I'm just a simple country boy. Well fairly simple anyways. lol I enjoy small things like doing yard work, tinkering around the house, or just enjoying a quiet relaxing day at home kinky single top wanted by older Toluca, watching a little tv, or just sitting under a shade tree enjoying the fresh air. I just need to find something to do with myself in the winter months. I can't stand the cold, I hate bundling up and I'm never warm anyways, it really sucks the energy out of me. So if you have a fun alternative to hibernating I'm all ears. haha OK well, if you would like to know more and get to know each other better get a hold of me. Please put the name of your town as the subject, and tell me a little about yourself. Do you have any ? I'm good with so we're fine there. What of things do you enjoy? etc. are always great, It's nice to put a face to the name. Thanks again for your time. Take care and I hope you have a great day. Bi-curious male for fun couple.

10 things high schoolers should know about college
Ron Oronzio is wondering if he should do more to increase his desirability to colleges.
As a 16-year-old rising junior at Caesar Rodney High School, college is looming large in his life. He wants to attend the Coast Guard Academy.
He has good grades, was vice-president of the student council, member of his class' float committee, plays lacrosse, runs cross country, helps coach his little brother's lacrosse team, takes advanced placement classes, volunteers with the Center for Inland Bays and holds a boater's license.
He's wondering if he should look for more community involvement opportunities and is applying to the Coast Guard Academy AIM Summer Program next year. He and his parents even drove to Connecticut for a day this summer to meet for an hour with a counselor at the academy.
Sound extreme? Probably not. The Coast Guard Academy receives 4,000 applications a year, and only accepts about 240. The University of Delaware receives 26,000 applications for its 3,800 students. Finding a way to stand out in that sea of paper might be worth some effort.
It's not hopeless, certainly. Erin Hill, assistant vice-president for enrollment at Delaware State University and Tim Danos, an admissions counselor with the University of Delaware offer some tips to help while still in high school.
1. Don't box yourself in – If you think there is any chance you might want to go to college one day, take courses that could make that happen starting freshman year in high school. Hill said it's heartbreaking for a student to decide his junior and senior year he wants to go to college only to realize he hasn't taken the proper minimum requirement courses.
2. Make a list of colleges you might consider (only a handful) and make sure you have at least one in-state option. Think of what you might want to do as a career and start researching those with colleges. Look at majors, career and internship pathways, admissions criteria, as well as financial aid and scholarships when choosing potential colleges, said Hill.
3. Make sure your high school counselor knows you. This is a person who can help with everything from choosing the right courses to helping you choose a school and fill out paperwork, and make sure you have the correct classes to meet college requirements.
4. Start practicing good time management. Time management is huge in college and there will be no one to tell you to get up, go to class, get started on that paper now. "So much more freedom can be a difficult transition," said Danos. Make sure you learn to schedule time for different things – studying, eating, clubs and classes.
5. Prepare for the PSAT and SAT. The SAT is an assessment test that many colleges use to help rank prospective students. Hill recommends taking practice tests and studying the formant of the test to help prepare. In Delaware students can take the SAT for free once in their junior year. If money is an issue, make sure to "Knock this one out of the park," she said.
6. College seniors, prepare your essay. Danos teaches a class on college application essays. He tells students to write about something that is important and most central to their identity. An essay that is more revealing about one's personality and how it can advance and be advanced at the university are better, he said.
7. Learn conflict resolution skills. Most students have their own rooms at home, but will be in tight quarters with one or more people in dormitory rooms. First, think about personalities if you are picking your roommates, said Danos. Second, be able to assert yourself and ready to compromise and work out systems for the conflicts that will inevitably happen when say, the early bird moves in with the night owl. The person who needs quiet to study vs. the music lover. Danos said they see these kinds of problems every year.
8. Attend local college fairs and meet with representatives of universities you are interested in attending. If you are able, tour the campus. Seeing a school is very different from reading about it.
9. Enroll in rigorous high school classes that are available to you. (i.e. Honors, AP, IB, Dual Enrollment, etc.) and are appropriate for your development. It is best to take five core courses during junior and senior year. It is also important to perform well in these courses (A&Bs). If you are struggling in the class, be proactive by using different study techniques, meet with the teacher outside of the classroom and get additional help if needed.
10. Get hands-on experience. If you are interested in a particular major, do an activity related to the field. For example, if you are interested in nursing, look into shadowing/volunteering at a local hospital or doctor's office. If you are interested in business majors, look into programs like Future Business Leaders of America or other business-related part-time jobs, internships or summer programs. Similar to applying for jobs, college admissions officers like to see students that can not only handle the coursework in that field, but can also contribute in the classroom based off of real-world experiences.
And finally: Develop a support system that you can use in college (i.e. family, friends, counselors, college students, faculty members, offices on campus, etc.). This is one of the most important factors, especially for incoming freshmen. College is a big culture change for many people. Having people to call on for help or encouragement when needed is a great help, said Danos.

Brian Martin's publications on peace and war
Brian Martin's publications
Brian Martin's website
Discussions of terrorism usually contain unstated assumptions about ethics, effectiveness and "enemies." These assumptions usually serve to sideline nonviolent options. Ulf Sundhaussens otherwise perceptive article fits this pattern.
Terrorism is nearly always assumed to be unethical. Indeed, the very label "terrorism" has become a hostile judgement disguised as a description (Gearty, 1997). In conventional western accounts of terrorism, there is a double standard: only terrorism by nonstate groups or US-government-defined "rogue states" is counted. Sundhaussen, like other critics, instead adopts a definition that includes terrorism by dominant states, especially the United States.
His next step is to focus on injustices experienced by oppressed groups such as the Palestinians. He argues that when an oppressed group is so weak that no other response has a chance, then armed action against civilians can have some justification, at least as much justification as violence perpetrated by oppressors.
This attention to justifying terrorism by the oppressed marginalises nonviolent options. Just because terrorism sometimes can be justified does not mean that nonviolent action can be ignored.
A second common assumption in discussions about terrorism is that violence is superior to nonviolence. Sundhaussen, in a few sentences, dismisses nonviolent options as ineffective. There is more to be said.
From a pragmatic point of view, setting aside ethical considerations for the moment, terrorism has little to recommend it. As a technique, it frequently outrages neutral observers and people among target groups. Nonstate terrorism, or in other words terrorism by the weak, is usually counterproductive because of this outrage factor. Sundhaussen notes that state terrorism is also sometimes counterproductive because it aggravates the injustices that give rise to nonstate terrorism.
Nonstate terrorism is seldom calculated, in a strategic sense, to bring about a beneficial result. Instead, it is often an undirected lashing out against perceived oppressors. What usually happens is far worse repression, apparently justified by the terrorism.
Some terrorists actually intend to trigger such repression because they expect the repression will cause greater outrage among oppressed groups and third parties, such as when, in response to a Palestinian suicide bombing, devastating Israeli raids generate international condemnation. Even in such cases, though, there is seldom any long-term advantage for the weaker group.
There are many examples where nonviolent action has been effective in situations where violence did not or could not have succeeded. The East Timorese armed struggle against the Indonesian military occupation made little headway over many years, with the cost of massive loss of life. After the liberation movement switched its emphasis from armed struggle in the countryside to nonviolent protest in the cities, it was able to stimulate much greater international support, eventually leading to independence (Fukuda, 2000).
Over many years, terrorist actions by the Palestine Liberation Organisation did little to advance the Palestinian cause. In contrast, the first intifada, initiated in 1987 independently of the PLO, was unarmed and largely nonviolent. It succeeded in generating much greater support, both within Palestine and internationally, than prior terrorist actions. Arguably, a more consistently nonviolent Palestinian strategy would have been even more effective (Dajani, 1995; Rigby, 1991). In contrast, suicide bombings during the second intifada since 2000 have alienated many potential supporters.
In South Africa, armed struggle did little to undermine apartheid. It was only when the challenge to apartheid shifted largely to nonviolent means that great progress was made (Zunes, 1999).
When the US government supported terrorism in Nicaragua in the 1980s via the Contras, its proxies, the opposition in the United States was entirely nonviolent. The efforts of many solidarity groups helped prevent a full-scale US military invasion of Nicaragua. Similarly, the global protests against military intervention in Iraq have helped to deter follow-on invasions of other countries. In contrast, imagine a terrorist attack on the US population sponsored by a Syrian or Iranian-based group: this would be the ideal way of softening up world opinion to permit a US invasion.
A third assumption in discussions about terrorism is that there is a solution to the problem that involves tackling a single source, which for convenience I call an enemy. In conventional anti-terrorism, the enemy is nonstate terrorists. In the counter discourse, the enemy is state terrorism.
Sundhaussen argues that the solution is change at the top, in the United States, through elections, with the newly elected leaders taking steps to remove the injustices that cause nonstate terrorism. There are two main weaknesses in this strategy.
First, there is a long history of US government support for repressive governments, with a continuity in policy over many administrations (Chomsky and Herman, 1979). Restraints on US wars and repression have come much more from citizen action than top-level policy initiatives.
A second weakness in the strategy of removing the injustices that lead to terrorism is that some terrorism is in support of injustice. Consider the Ku Klux Klans violence against US black people over a century, or the violence of the Nazis in Germany in the 1920s, before Hitler came to power. In these and other cases, the challenge is to oppose violence without introducing yet more violence that serves to justify the other sides violence. Nonviolent action is better suited to achieve this.
During the US civil rights movements use of nonviolent action in the 1950s and 1960s, violence by the Ku Klux Klan and police in southern US cities was highly counterproductive, putting pressure on the federal government to intervene (Chalmers, 2003). In comparison, in Germany the 1933 Reichstag fire, which appeared to be a violent anti-Nazi action, was used by the Nazis to their advantage.
Sundhaussen focusses on whether nonstate terrorism can be justified and whether US government actions create a greater injustice than actions of its opponents. To supplement this critique, it is fruitful to examine how to make unjust violence counterproductive (Martin, 2004; Martin and Wright, 2003). Nonviolent action is ideally suited for this.
