handled to very appropriate levels. There are a few caveats; the first existing in the contrast levels which, though benefiting the brightness of the picture, causes a few of the black levels to appear a shade lighter than expected. Attempts to control some of the more difficult black levels make some of the grain stand out a bit, while other black levels swallow detail up completely. And, though gorgeous, there are a few instances where a few minor blips and print speckles can be seen. These are all nitpicks on a mostly pleasing rendering of Godard's picture, one that presents a very film-like experience.
Audio finds a clear upgrade to a DTS HD Master Audio track, mixing the myriad of languages in 2.0 Stereo sound (mono stretched a bit to two-channel output) -- which is what the receiver picks the track up as, instead of as a "Master Audio" varietal. Clarity has been greatly improved, projecting vocals to a natural high and mid-range level against the sound design. The musical accompaniment also fluctuates against the track better than expected, hitting crescendos with quite a few surprising mid-range bass motions. There is very little low-end activity, however, only teased at by the music and the rumbling of Prokosch's bright red Alfa-Romeo 2600. The language does, naturally, show its age and budget-minded weakness, which reflect in a slightly metallic and thin-sounding disposition, but a heightened level of clarity takes it a step above its standard-definition counterpart. Subtitles are extremely pleasing, in white lettering that appears within the image itself, and are available in all the languages mentioned at the beginning of the disc.
Once Upon a Time There Was ... Contempt (52:28, SD MPEG-2):
This nearly hour-long piece covers the history behind Contempt, told through interview time and snippets involving Godard. He dives into the French New Wave a bit, discussing the production history of his other films, and how he came about tackling a more "Classical" adaptation of Contempt. Some really great archive footage of Fritz Lang can be found in the mix as the story's being told, while film philosophers give their interpretations of the history behind the film's construction. It's a dense recollection of the film's creation, one that's enhanced by the many snippets of footage behind-the-scenes -- such as the shot of paparazzi being shewed away from the set.
Contempt .. Tenderly (31:31, SD MPEG-2):
Here, we dive a bit more into the adaptation of Contempt from the origin novel, as well as the parallels between the ancient and modern worlds. Discussion about maintaining the balance, both with the actors and with the location photography, are covered extensively through interviews with Aiain Bergala and others attached to the film. This lengthy piece doesn't intersect to any great degrees with the orevious one, making them both worthwhile watching experiences back-to-back.
The Dinosaur and the Baby (1:00:57, SD MPEG-2):
The archive footage mentioned above regarding Fritz Lang is taken from this compelling, lengthy piece from 1967, which takes both he and Godard and focuses on conversations between them -- with scenes from the film, and other works, intermingled within their talks about art and cinema. The piece is older, in black and white and framed at 4x3, and contains proper English subtitles. Lang discusses his passion for film as a broad medium for a wide audience, which makes the whole expanse worthwhile in itself.
Conversation with Fritz Lang (14:27, SD MPEG-2):
A second archive interview with Fritz Lang is also included here, a documentary-like portrait of the director that again features footage from Contempt as a backdrop. It finds him on-set on "The Odyssey" talking about the production, with footage from his other films also incorporated -- as well as a humorous interruption in the middle from tourists wanting a glimpse at Brigitte Bardot.
Rounding things out for this Blu-ray, we've got the somewhat famous Trailer 2:31, SD MPEG-2) that features the large block text and cast members calling out the words as they form on-screen. Also, an optional Introduction by Colin McCabe is available to screen | 1.161915 | 0.262486 | 0.068061 | 0.079727 | [

Once it is realized that the Medieval Guilds were organizations that existed primarily for the maintenance of economic justice and equity, and that they broke down, not from any defect inherent in their constitution, but because they were never co- extensive with society, we begin to understand that one of the conditions of getting capitalism into subjection is to make Guild organization co-extensive with society. Yet when we suggest this approach, we are told that any such return to an old method of organization is impossible, inasmuch as the old form of Guild organization is not adapted to the circumstances of modern industry with its vast machinery and large organizations, and we are admonished by sundry critics to abandon our project of restoring the Medieval Guilds, and to work for the establishment of National Guilds, which they tell us are more adapted to the modern conditions.
Now, such advice sounds very plausible, so plausible, in fact, that to most people it must appear as if nothing but sheer personal perversity prevents us from accepting it. Yet this is not the case, since Medieval and National Guilds are not opposed ideas, as is popularly supposed, but complementary ones; while the success of the National Guild Movement in no way excludes or militates against a revival of Guilds of the Medieval type, as will become evident when the position is clearly understood. They are concerned with different things. National Guilds are concerned with the problem of the large modern industry, and it would tend towards the elucidation of the subject if they were called Industrial Guilds rather than National Guilds, which is a misnomer. The advocates of Medieval Guilds, on the contrary, are primarily interested in the crafts, small industries and agriculture, and they are as much concerned to discover how such activities may be restored to their former integrity as they are in bringing them under Guild control. Such being the case, the relative importance which we attach to these two branches of Guild activity depends entirely upon our opinion as to what will be the future of Industrialism. If it is believed, as National Guildsmen did believe, when their theory was first launched, that the future is entirely with the large industry, before whose advance the crafts must eventually disappear, then Medieval Guildsmen will appear as anachronisms. But if, on the contrary, we recognize, as Medieval Guildsmen all along have recognized, and as National Guildsmen have recently come to believe, that our industrial system is a thing altogether abnormal, carrying within itself the seeds of its own destruction, and is even now on the verge of collapse, then the subject begins to wear a different complexion. The Medieval Guildsman will no longer appear as an anachronism, but as a Futurist in the best sense of the word, inasmuch as he is not content to build his house on the sands of the seashore. Such a view of the fate of industrialism in general is not incompatible with the frank recognition of the fact that certain aspects of the system may survive, while, if we do not come to the conclusion that National Guilds have no validity in the future, we at any rate may recognize that in any normal society the area of their activities will be very much circumscribed.
But there is another path of approach. We may approach Medieval Guilds from the point of view of craft organization, or from the point of view of the moral and economic principles that they existed to uphold. If we look at them from the former point of view, their picturesqueness may interest us, though their possible application will appear circumscribed. But if we look at them from the point of view of the moral and economic principles they existed to uphold, we shall come to recognize them as the type and exemplar of all true institutions, inasmuch as they stood for something that has universal validity, and is in no way limited by the details of their organization. From this point of view, the issue between Medieval and National Guilds is not one of drawing a line of demarcation, of defining their respective spheres of influence, nor finally, between the rival claims of centralized and federated or local organization, but between two different conceptions of the purpose of a Guild. Thus the essence of the National Guild idea is the conception of the organization of industry on an entirely self-governing basis, without any admixture of private interests; while the essence of the Medieval Guild idea is that of a court of appeal, whose primary function is that of maintaining a discipline among the members of a particular industry. For remember, the Medieval Guilds did not seek to organize industry, | 1.378324 | -0.105264 | 1.059256 | 1.56511 | [

but to control it. They did not seek to supplant the private individual producer by any system of co-operative production. On the contrary, they frankly accepted the principle of the private management of industry, and sought only to superimpose over each industry an organization to regulate it in the same way that professional societies enforce a discipline among their members to-day, with the difference that in addition to upholding a standard of professional conduct the Medieval Guilds were, at their best period, concerned to promote a certain measure of economic equality between their members, in the same way that Trade Unions are to-day. They insisted that all who engaged in any industry should conform to the regulations of the Guild, which fixed prices and rates of wages, regulated apprenticeship and enforced a standard of quality in production, preventing adulteration and bad workmanship, and ordered all other matters appertaining to the conduct of an industry and the personal welfare of its individual members.
Now, what is there to stand in the way of the application of such principles to-day? Though the circumstances of modern industry differ from the circumstances of Medieval industry, yet there is no technical difficulty that stands in the way of the establishment of such control over industry, for the principles to be applied are finally nothing more than the enforcement of moral standards. The only difference between their application under the Medieval Guilds and under our supposed modern Guilds, which aim at the same purpose, would be that, whereas the former exercised control over employers and workers engaged in small workshops owned by small masters, the latter would exercise control over employers and workers engaged in large and small factories and workshops owned by private individuals, limited liability companies and self-governing groups of workers. To make such control effective, it would be necessary to depart from the rules of the Medieval Guilds to the extent that authority would be vested in the whole body of members-- employers and workers--instead of being exclusively in the hands of the masters, as was the case in the Middle Ages. For the typical employer to-day is not a master of his craft, who is jealous of its honour, as was the Medieval employer, but a financier, who is only interested in the profit and loss account, and therefore could not be trusted with final authority. This consideration enforces the conclusion that if any standards of honesty and fair dealing are to be upheld, prices fixed, machinery and other matters necessary to the proper conduct of industry to be regulated, the final authority would have to be vested in the trade as a whole, for only those who suffer from the growth of abuses can be relied on to take measures to suppress them.
In support of this contention, that the obstacle in the path of a restoration of Guilds of the Medieval type is moral rather than technical, attention should be directed to the activities of the Industrial Council of the Building Industry, better known as the Building Trades Parliament, since there are invaluable lessons to be learnt from its experience. This body, which consists of representatives of all Building Trade Employers Federations, and the Trade Unions of England and Scotland, and whose deliberations are watched with close attention by economic students all over the world, had its origin in an attempt to bring disputes in the building trades to an end by removing the causes of suspicion and distrust existing between the employers and the workers. The employers objected to any increase of wages apart from an increase of output, to which the workers in their turn objected. Subsequent negotiations revealed the fact that there were four main factors tending towards a restriction of output. They were (a) Fear of unemployment; (b) Expressed disinclination of many of the operatives to make unrestricted profit for private employers; (c) Lack of interest in the industry evidenced by operatives owing to their non-participation in control; (d) Inefficiency, both managerial and operative.
These obstacles revealed themselves as the crux of the whole difficulty, and frankly facing the situation, the joint committee of employers and operatives set themselves the task of finding ways and means of overcoming them by the promotion of what they rather aptly termed "the team spirit in industry." It resulted in a proposal to organize the Building Industry on a basis of public service. After working for four years on the problem, Majority and Minority Reports were submitted by members of the Management and Costs Committee to the Council at a Conference held in London on November 11 and 12, 1921.

, which is our immediate concern, divided its proposals into three parts. The first was a scheme with proposals for the regularization of demand, the decasualization of labour, unemployment and holiday pay, superannuation and a minimum system of accountancy and costing. It was recommended for immediate inclusion in the working agreements between the affiliated association of Employers and Trade Unions, without prejudice to the further consideration and discussion of the great question of industrial control, which lies at the centre of the problem of efficient service, and with which the second and third part of the Report deals.
In respect of industrial control, the second part of the Report advanced the proposal that employers and operatives should submit themselves to the control of an organization that would, on the one hand, retain the principle of private management of industry, and on the other hand eliminate entirely the element of profit-making from industry. The means by which this end was to be attained was by guaranteeing salaries to owners, managers, and managing staffs, commensurate with their ability, while allowing a regular rate of interest for the hire of capital, which should be not less favourable than the prevailing rate yielded by debentures in other industries, and by guaranteeing to the operatives standard rates of pay that would ensure a real and satisfactory standard of comfort. The last part of the Majority Report advanced a proposal which was frankly admitted to be an ideal. It was for the organization of a National Guild of Builders, a complete scheme of democratic control, based upon the whole of the personnel of the National Federation of Building Trade Operatives, and other approved organizations of building trade workers, whether administrative, technical, clerical or operative, much on the lines of the Building Guilds.
The Minority Report, which represented the views of a majority of the employers, objected to these proposals for two reasons. Firstly because, as they said, the proposed scheme was a system of which the world has no recorded experience of its having been successfully applied, and therefore they preferred to stand by the present system, because it had persisted in all ages and all countries, and was therefore to be considered as normal; and secondly, because the scheme involved a change in the motive of industry, which they contended was impossible, inasmuch as only the love of gain was capable of supplying a sufficient incentive to industrial undertakings, and therefore industry would suffer demoralization if this motive were removed.
It can occasion no surprise that opposition was forthcoming. Ideas so revolutionary can only become really practical after the lapse of time, after a long propaganda has been undertaken on their behalf, when they have become common property and familiarity brings consent. Hence it was that at the Conference already referred to, a resolution was carried which threw the responsibility for the main decision on the national adherent bodies, while the Management and Costs Committee was asked further to consider and report on the less controversial details. To make a long story short, the matter has been shelved, and it is likely to remain so for an indefinite period, for there can be no doubt as to the fundamental character of the opposition. It first found expression in the debate on the Interim Report (August, 1919), at which I was present, and it was certainly a most instructive debate. It was not a debate between employers and operatives as such, but between two rival conceptions of industry--production for service versus production for gain. The operatives, with a minority of employers on the one side, fighting a majority of employers on the other. The latter group maintained that the only incentive to industrial efficiency is love of gain, and that all classes of the community will be best served by maintaining unhampered our present competitive system of enterprise and industry. The other group as obstinately maintained that the real incentive is the joy of service, and not the love of gain--the creative impulse, not the possessive one. The debate, having taken this turn, was no longer concerned with the details of the scheme. It became a debate on morals, in which appeals were made to the authority of Christianity and Ruskin. I never realized before how far the influence of Ruskin had penetrated. Everybody, employers and operatives alike, appeared to be familiar with his teachings, and he was accepted apparently by both sides as a final court of appeal, though how it came about that employers, who maintained that only the motive of gain could be a sufficient stimulus to industrial efficiency, reconciled their ideas with Ruskin and Christianity is a mystery I will not attempt to explain.

the issue of Medieval and National Guilds? Just this: that when representatives of employers and operatives began to consider practical ways and means of organizing a great industry for public service, unhampered by a priori theories of class antagonism, they instinctively proceed along Medieval lines as the line of least resistance, since, apart from the proposal to form a National Guild of Builders on the lines of the Building Guild, which was included in the report as an ideal rather than as a practical measure, the Report is Medieval through and through, inasmuch as the practical proposals advanced frankly accept the principle of the private management of industry, while seeking to superimpose over such private businesses an organization that would regulate it so as to eliminate entirely the motive of profit-making. This is all the more remarkable because the original source of inspiration was more a product of the National Guild than the Medieval Guild propaganda, as is evidenced by the fact in the Majority Report the National Guild, rather than the Medieval Guild, was postulated as an ideal.
This, I feel, was a pity; not only because the great monuments of Gothic architecture were produced by the Medieval Guilds, but because a frank acceptation of the Medieval Guilds as an ideal would have given the reformers a perfectly consistent position, inasmuch as Parts I and II of the Report, which were recommended for immediate adoption, were defensible as steps towards the restoration of Medieval Guilds, but not as steps towards a National Guild, which appears in the Report as an anti-climax. By maintaining a consistent position, they could have put up a much stronger defence against the opposition. For the majority of employers could not then have opposed the scheme on the grounds that it proposed to establish over the building trades a system of organization of which the world has no recorded experience of its having been successfully applied. The great monuments of Medieval architecture could have been cited as proving the contrary, and these, it could have been urged, were just as much the counterpart of the economic order, that obtained under the Medieval Guilds, as the chaotic architecture of to-day is the counterpart of the economic chaos that follows economic individualism.
And there is another lesson that we may learn from the experience of the Building Trades Parliament. It is that behind the problem of organization there is to be found the problem of morals, for men take sides ultimately on moral issues. Economic theories may be the occasion that divides them. But it is the moral issue that finally divides men, for, as we saw, the difference of opinion over the practicability of the proposals of the Building Trades Parliament resolved itself finally into a question of morals: the question as to whether any other motive but that of gain could ever promote industrial efficiency. And here again it is to be observed that a frank acceptance of the Medieval Guilds as an ideal would have strengthened the hands of the reformers, for the issue would no longer have been one of opinion, but of fact.
The moral issue, then, is fundamental. It not only separates those who uphold the present competitive order of society from those who demand the reorganization of society on some corporate or communal basis, but it also underlies the division of opinion among reformers themselves. The scheme of the Building Trades Parliament developed along the lines it did because it was based upon the assumption that the goodwill necessary to put it into operation would be forthcoming. But when such hopes were disappointed, and it became evident that the scheme would not be acceptable to a majority of the employers, a new development took place. The Manchester section of the Operatives Federation seized the opportunity that the housing shortage provided, by setting up a Building Guild Committee, and made an offer to the City Council (Feb., 1920), to build two thousand houses. This action led to the organization of Building Guilds in various parts of the country, of which upwards of a hundred are nowadays (Dec., 1921) in existence, and which we must now proceed to consider.
Now, this new development did not proceed along the lines of the Medieval Guild, but of the National Guild, and this followed naturally from the fact that, as a result of the refusal of the employers to co-operate, their organization had to be based upon the personnel of the local Federations of Building Trade Operatives rather than upon the building industry as a whole. In providing an answer to the contention of the majority employers of the Building Trades Parliament, that only the motive of gain can supply a motive power to industry, the Building Gu | 1.238617 | 0.522575 | 1.008531 | 1.56511 | [

ilds have more than justified their existence, for they have demonstrated beyond a shadow of doubt that an organization in which the workers participate in control promotes efficiency by securing their loyalty and goodwill. But there is no reason to suppose that they will be any more successful than the Building Trades Parliament in effecting the guildization of the building trades as a whole, for their position is precarious in the extreme. They came into existence to execute the Housing schemes of various municipalities, and it is possible that with their completion they may disappear, for there is no denying they are very much at the mercy of circumstances. They are at the mercy of the Government's housing policy, and they may be strangled by the Anti-Waste campaign, while, as it so happens that financial and industrial activities have in every direction reached a deadlock--and a deadlock that will remain until the facts underlying it are frankly faced--the prospects of getting hold of a sufficient quantity of private work to enable them to carry on is doubtful.
If, then, there is no prospect of the Building Guilds being able to effect the guildization of the building trades, there is still less of this principle being able to effect the guildization of our industrial activities as a whole, for no other large industry is as fortunately placed as the building industry for embarking on such an experiment. The Building Guilds were possible because of circumstances peculiar to the building trades. There was, in the first place, the housing shortage, which provided the immediate opportunity. There were labour-controlled municipal councils that were in a position to give them work, while there was the further consideration that the element of fixed capital, so important in other large industries, is, in the building trades, unimportant compared with the charges connected with each particular job, material and labour entailing almost the whole costs in the building. These circumstances made the principle of industrial self- government a fairly simple proposition for the building trade operatives, but it obviously supplies no more precedent for the guildization of other large industries where immense fixed capital is required, and where the market cannot be localized, than the municipal gas and water of Collectivists provided a basis for the nationalization of all industry.
Nevertheless, the influence of the Building Guilds is not going to be ephemeral. If they provide no precedent for the guildization of other large industries, they do apparently for small industries, for a whole crop of small Guilds are coming into existence. There is a Furnishing Guild, a Clothiers Guild, and an Agricultural Guild already in existence; while news reaches us of a Dairy Guild, a Blacksmith's and Farrier's Guild, a Fruit Grower's Guild, a Packing Case Guild and a Commercial Vehicle Maker's Guild that are in process of formation.
Whether any of these Guilds will be able to establish themselves permanently is extremely doubtful, for they are being launched amid adverse economic conditions. Should they fail, as they may, it can be safely predicted that their failure will be followed by some disillusionment of many who are nowadays so hopeful, while it is a certainty that the failure will be used by opponents to discredit the Guild Movement. But Medievalists must attempt to assess these experiments at their true valuation. Their failure will not discourage them, for they have always been somewhat sceptical about National Guild policy. They have always maintained that our industrial system was not a thing of permanence and stability, and doubted the possibility of successfully superimposing Guilds over its activities. So while I should welcome the success of these experiments as removing an obstacle from our path, yet such success is not guaranteed, for behind the economic problem is the problem of men and machines, and the unwillingness of reformers to face this fact places us at the mercy of forces we cannot control.
Whatever may eventually prove to be the fate of these Guilds their organization has been more than justified, for they have cleared up for us many issues, while providing us with invaluable data that will pave the way towards a more intelligent discussion of the subject. But even if they should survive the present economic crisis, it would be a mistake to expect that any national system of Guilds could follow a mere extension of their activities. For one insuperable obstacle stands in the way of any such development--the tendency for all such activities to become choked by a multiplicity of committees. To guard against this evil, such self-governing bodies must be local and small. The | 1.038644 | 0.350674 | 0.787878 | 1.013619 | [

Australia Won't Welcome Foreign Tourists Until at Least 2022
Oceania | Society | Oceania
Australia will slowly start to reopen its borders to skilled migrants and international students. Tourists will have to keep waiting.

Foreign tourists won't be welcomed back to Australia until at least next year, the prime minister said Tuesday as he outlined plans for lifting some of the toughest and longest COVID-19 travel restrictions imposed by any democracy.
The country will instead prioritize the return of skilled migrants and students after it hits Prime Minister Scott Morrison's benchmark for reopening its external borders: the full vaccination of 80 percent of the population aged 16 and older. It is expected to reach that point Tuesday.
The news comes just days after Morrison announced plans to allow vaccinated citizens and permanent residents to fly overseas from November for the first time since March 2020.
The severe travel restrictions, which have trapped most Australians at home and kept most foreigners out, have led to the lowest level of immigration since World War II. Australian universities, which rely heavily on fees paid by international students, have been particularly hard hit, and many fear students will go elsewhere if they are not allowed in soon.
While many countries imposed strict lockdowns that shut down large portions of the economies, Australia's travel restrictions have kept life fairly normal for much of the pandemic – though it is now experiencing shutdowns in the biggest cities, Sydney and Melbourne, as well as the capital Canberra.
The rules imposed a high emotional burden in a country where half the population was born overseas or has at least one immigrant parent. Families were separated, and some grandparents have been barred from meeting grandchildren in Australia who are now approaching 2 years old.
After lifting restrictions on Australians, Morrison said the next priority would be skilled migrants and international students – before tourists. He did not specify when those groups would be allowed in.
"We will get to international visitors as well, I believe next year," Morrison said.
The Australian Tourism Export Council, which represents a sector that made 45 billion Australian dollars ($33 billion) a year from international tourists before the pandemic, wants international visitors to return by March.
Australian tourism operators – which have suffered not only from the ban on international tourism but also frequent internal pandemic border restrictions – are frustrated that there aren't more details of how leisure travel will resume.
"International tourist arrivals have to be part of the plan," said Daniel Gschwind, chief executive of the Queensland Tourism Industry Council, Queensland state's peak advocacy group. "Even if they're not the first priority, we'd like to see how this is going to be worked out. There are many businesses that are just hanging on."
Gschwind that his sector needed to plan for how the COVID-19 risk could be managed, perhaps through rapid testing and self-isolation.
There are a few exceptions to Australia's travel ban – and tourism has never been accepted as a reason to cross the border. Those who have been able to enter must spend two weeks in hotel quarantine. That would represent a major obstacle if it remains even after tourists are allowed.
Morrison said last week that his government would work toward "complete quarantine-free travel for certain countries, such as New Zealand, when it is safe to do so." He did not elaborate on the timing.
Australia and New Zealand briefly shared a quarantine-free travel bubble when both countries were essentially free of COVID-19 transmission.
But New Zealand reintroduced quarantine after Australian authorities lost control of an outbreak of the highly contagious Delta variant, which was brought to Sydney in June by a U.S. air crew.
The Delta variant has changed the game in many countries that previously were able to largely keep the virus at bay with very strict travel rules, including New Zealand. On Monday, that country's government acknowledged for the first time that it can no longer completely get rid of the coronavirus.
Australia is continuing to battle outbreaks, while also racing to inoculate its population. Its vaccination rollout was initially slow but has picked up.
Victoria state on Tuesday reported a national record 1,763 new local infections. Australia's second-most populous state also reported four | 0.427769 | 0.56555 | 0.323746 | -0.011321 | [

10 components of the life support chain for patient survival
Effective prehospital care restores or maintains adequate oxygenation, perfusion and cellular environment which saves cells, organs and lives
For a patient to survive an emergency condition their organs must survive and continue to function. In order for organs to survive and continue to function, cells must be preserved and continue to function. At the cellular level, there are 10 essential components of the life support chain.
Early in my paramedic education at Youngstown State University I was presented with an article authored by an emergency medicine physician, which explained those 10 components necessary to keep a patient alive. I have searched endlessly for this article to give due credit to the author, however, I have not been successful. This list, compiled from my handwritten notes from 1979, provides a foundation to understanding pathophysiology.
My primary professor and paramedic program director was William E. Brown Jr. If the name sounds familiar to you, it should. Brown went on to become the Advanced Level Coordinator and subsequently the Executive Director of the National Registry of EMTs until his retirement in 2013.

Most important though, is that Brown instilled in me as an incoming paramedic student the necessity to base my education in EMS on a foundation of anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology. Memorizing signs and symptoms was not an option. We were required to understand and explain why the signs and symptoms were occurring in emergency patient conditions.
Likewise, our understanding of treatment was not to regurgitate a set of protocols but to provide the why behind the emergency care we were administering. This was imperative to educating a paramedic who can think and not just react.
A large sign in Brown's office summed up his expectation for paramedic students. It read:
"If you don't believe in excellence in emergency medicine, then you don't belong in here."
10 components of life support
I use the 10 components of the life support chain to teach EMT and paramedic students to think about what it really takes to give a patient the best chance to survive a medical emergency or traumatic emergency.
The 10 components of the life support chain necessary to maintain adequate oxygenation, perfusion and cellular environment are:
Composition of ambient air
Patency of the airway
Mechanics of ventilation
Regulation of respiration
Ventilation/perfusion ratio
Transport of gas by the blood
Blood volume
Myocardial effectiveness
Microcirculation and systemic vascular resistance
Acid base balance
Possessing an understanding of how to assess these components and provide support to maintain normal function, is key to ensuring patient survival in prehospital care.
Treat each cell
Your treatment impacts the ability of a cell to survive. For example, stopping an external hemorrhage should not be thought of as simply as task to perform when you see blood, but as a necessity to keeping the patient's cells alive.
The patient's blood is a transport medium for oxygen, glucose, other nutrients, carbon dioxide and waste products. Without an adequate amount of oxygen and glucose being delivered to the cells, the cells will shift from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism. If this is not reversed, the toxic byproducts of anaerobic metabolism will cause the cell membranes to eventually fail leading to cell death.

Dear friends of Oecologies:
As my last task as Outgoing Director, I want to report on the group's happenings and to get you excited about what we're planning for the upcoming academic year. The year-in-review is, in my experience, never an easy genre in which to write. And it is one I rarely enjoy reading. How do I strike the right tone? How do I fondly recall past gatherings and individual successes without humble-bragging? How do we attract new friends of Oecologies? Perhaps more to the point for this year, what is there to say in an annual roundup of 2019-20 that is not trite, over-sentimental, and akin to a sound-byte?
Running such risks, this is what I will say: Oecologies has transformed itself over the course of the last year. The changes hearten me greatly; they have not always been easy to make happen; and they are a work-in-progress, so please join us as we steer Oecologies in the next decade. In the meantime, let me show you what's new with us.
In solidarity with BLM and BIPOC academics whose scholarship, historically, isn't cited or acknowledged, we reimagined our bimonthly reading group. Under the care and guidance of Mo Pareles, we now read this work, with the hope that we will engage it in our ecocritical projects in medieval and early modern studies. Our first reading group for the year will take place, virtually, on 2 October 2020 at 10:00 AM PST. It contributes to the "Earth, Sea, Sky" project that flies under the Oecologies banner. Our readings will concern the sea and early modern maritime cultures; they will include writings by Renisa Mawani (Sociology, UBC), Helen M. Rozwadowski (History, University of Connecticut), and Surabhi Ranganathan (International Law, King's College). If you interested in this event, please email me for further details. We expect such reading-group programming to continue through 2021, so stay tuned for a full schedule.
In response to the global pandemic, Oecologies will host a virtual event, "In the Wake," which will be held on Zoom on 23 October 2020 from 1:00-2:30 PM PST. This moderated conversation is the brainchild of my Oecologies colleagues, David Coley (Simon Fraser University), the prize-winning author of a recent book on plague in medieval literature, and Derrick Higginbotham (University of Hawai'i at Mānoa). It will feature Urvashi Chakravarty (English, Toronto), Gabriel Rocha (History, Brown), Rebecca Totaro (English, Florida Gulf Coast University), and Elaine Treharne (English, Stanford). Here is the event's formal description:
Speakers will take as their stepping-off point our contemporary social and cultural moment, one in which the sudden cataclysm of a global pandemic seems to be catalyzing a series of social, cultural, political, and economic changes that would have been difficult to imagine a year ago. This paradigm—of response, recovery, and perhaps re-creation in the wake of pandemic—resonates with similar moments of social change in the medieval and early modern world, where change, progressive and/or reactionary, has followed plague, war, natural disaster, and human-made political catastrophe. The virtual symposium will consider what our study of such moments in the past might reveal about our present and, conversely, what our current moment of turmoil might suggest about similar crises in the past?
Details about this event will be advertised on social media soon by Sarah-Nelle Jackson (UBC PhD), our new influencer.
In mentioning my colleagues David Coley and Derrick Higginbotham, I allude to a change in governance that Oecologies has just formalized. David and Der | 1.323537 | 0.256666 | 1.267227 | 0.228005 | [

Salesman optimistic about selling in-ground pool to family holding Bertie Beetle showbags
When it comes to closing the deal, Christian Levolsi backs himself like few other salesmen, so when he was faced with the prospect of selling swimming pools to disinterested punters at The Royal Adelaide Show he was unperturbed by the so-called challenge.
'You know, some people ask me how I got to be so bloody good at selling', Christian pontificates to an Adelaide Mail journalist at least 30 metres away. At this point it's unclear whether Levolsi is talking to us or simply announcing feelings about himself to anybody listening in the Jubilee Pavillion.
See this guy here, the one with Bertie Beetle showbags, he's a schmuck, he's a putz. There's no way he's walking away from here without putting his name down to buy a new pool today
'…it's because I can always tell when somebody is interested, even if they don't know it yet'. As Levolsi talks at us — checking every so often that we've quoted him correctly — he's posing for uninvited selfies and wrapping up a sales pitch to a family of would-be swimming pool customers.
'See this guy here, the one with Bertie Beetle showbags, he's a schmuck, he's a putz. There's no way he's walking away from here without putting his name down to buy a new pool today. No way'.
The family in question is standing within earshot and take Christian's insult as their opportunity to escape.
When asked whether or not there was ever a chance of buying a swimming pool the father of the family, Dennis Knee-Babcock responds 'absolutely not, we can't afford a pool, we're renting. We really just needed to kill 15 minutes until the pig racing'.

Does Massage Therapy Help You Sleep Better? Can it Beat Insomnia?
When people have trouble falling asleep, they tend to do one of two things.
They'll either suffer through the night, watching the minutes of the clock tick by, becoming increasingly stressed as the night wears on – or they'll take a sleep aid, such as a prescription sleeping pill.
But what if there was a better (and more pleasant) way to fall asleep effortlessly?
With up to 70 million Americans suffering from chronic sleep disorders and countless experiencing occasional insomnia, it's time to find a better solution to getting adequate rest. Massage therapy has been shown to be better for sleep because it helps people relax, relieves pain, and it can also stimulate hormones that are conducive to sleep.
Can a Massage Relieve Insomnia?
Pain relief: If the source of insomnia is pain, then this therapy can help relieve the symptoms.
Relaxation: Many people find that stress and anxiety are keeping them up at night. A massage is a peaceful and quiet time to forget about troubles and escape from the day-to-day while being pampered. Get one in the evening to allow these feelings to carry over to bedtime.
Hormone production: People suffering from insomnia often show a deficiency in serotonin levels. This hormone is referred to as the "happiness hormone," and it's also a precursor to melatonin, which is a natural chemical that causes sleepiness. This therapy boosts serotonin levels, and therefore, melatonin production.
By having your limbs, back and torso touched, pulled, kneaded and stroked, you'll receive a variety of both psychological and physiological benefits.
Relaxation response – an overactive nervous system slows down involuntarily.
Mechanical response – physical effects such as pain and headache relief, decreased blood pressure, muscle relaxation, serotonin production, and a reduction in stress hormones are all shown to occur.
By taking this personal time to relax and receive pampering, you help your body handle stress and decrease the symptoms associated with it. Massage has been shown to improve a variety of disorders, which could all affect your bedtime, including digestive disorders, sexual dysfunction, and hypertension.
This form is quite popular, and as you can guess, originated in Sweden. It's a gentle and traditional type, involving long strokes, circular movements, and kneading. Some tapping is added to aid in relaxation and positive energy.
This type is similar to the Swedish variety but instead provides deeper pressure. It's beneficial for ridding the muscles of tension, and the primary focus of the masseuse is on accessing muscle tissue, tendons, and fascia, which is the layer surrounding your joints, bones, and muscles.
The focus of this type is typically on an area of soreness or injury. It uses the same techniques as Swedish, but again, it's designed to be either therapeutic or preventive.
For people experiencing pain, this form of massaging may provide the most relief. A trigger point is a part of the body that causes pain somewhere else. For example, by rubbing a trigger point in the back, it can potentially provide pain relief in the neck.
A body in pain tends to adapt by molding itself into a shape where it can be in a comfortable position. By relaxing and loosening the muscles, massages can help the body find a more natural alignment.
The relaxation and increased circulation associated with this natural therapy are also helpful in reducing blood pressure. It's not an overnight cure but is likely to help with regular sessions over a period of several weeks.
By getting to the root of pain and tension, you'll naturally feel your muscles relax, and you may even find that flexibility increases.
All that circular motion is bound to improve circulation. Another way it helps is by flushing lactic acid from the muscles, and this also stimulates circulation.
This therapy helps the body's ability to fight infection by increasing the white blood cell count in the body. White blood cells are the first line of defense in battling viruses.
Both tension headaches and migraines can be helped with this therapy. It relieves spasms, | 0.824975 | 0.222644 | 1.475199 | -0.279912 | [

Comments and insights on the name Leah
I have a good friend and also a cousin with this name. They both pronounce it LEE-a, but people who don't know them sometimes pronounce it "LEE" or "LAY-a" at first. My friend Leah gets annoyed when she constantly has to correct people on how her name is pronounced (my cousin Leah is too young to have an opinion yet). I think Leah is a really pretty name, but if you're considering it, just keep in mind that it will probably get mispronounced.
My name is Leah, born 1979, I like to tell people that my mom wanted to name me Leia, after the Princess, but chickened out. I also like reminding people that it's right out of the Old Testament, in Genesis even, but her story is not flattering. In the story she is the mother of many of the 12 sons that founded the 12 states of ancient Israel, but her husband, Jacob, had been tricked into marrying her. He worked for 7 years to get Leah's sister, Rachael's, hand in marriage, but their dad pulled a switcheroo on the night of the wedding, and he married Leah. Then the father told Jacob he had to work another 7 years to get Rachael | -0.847399 | -0.707587 | -0.431816 | -1.725624 | [

too, which he did. The story indicated that Leah had "weak eyes" and that was one of the reasons she had not been chosen first by Jacob. But the story says that God blessed Leah with many sons because she had not been favored by her husband. Rachael only had one. My ex-husband cheated on me with a Rachael. She then had one son. I always thought that was ironic.
I named my 8 week old puppy Lia and I am somewhat of a princess, but when my sister jokingly referred to her as 'Princess Lia', I shut that down immediately. I used the latin spelling because it is phonetic.
Leah and Hale are anagrams of each other; they contain the same letters.
^^So is Heal.
I'm a Leah in my late 20's and it wasn't a common name growing up, so never a nuisance. What IS a nuisance is people thinking it's pronounced "Lee." I'm actually surprised when strangers get it right. I love my name, though (my mom wanted to name me Dorkus so I'm extra thankful). All the Leahs I've known, including myself, are quirky.
^^stuck up. quirky ppl don't say that they are quirky lol b----. >:D
^^^Quirky people who are quirky and own it do. And owning your quirkiness does not make you stuck up, but judging people people does.
My name is Leah, and I love it. It isn't way long or frilly, but it is still distinct and feminine. There is really no wrong way to pronounce it, you just pick between the hebrew heritage (Lai ah) or the more american (Lee ah my name).
I don't know why but I never quite liked this name. There's just something about it. It sounds so whiny- Leeeeee-aaaaaah. The eeah sound is just...eh..
I agree with you. It's always sounded kinda prissy and high-maintenance to me.
It's pronounced LAY-ah.
Personal experiences with the name Leah
I love the name! The only part I don't like is that it's pronounced Lee-ah and everyone always says Lay-ah! But it's a beautiful name I enjoy it! :) No one I know has the name! It's not common where I'm from, so it's awesome and original!
Our niece Leah (born 1980) is often asked if she was named after the Star Wars character Princess Leia.
I'm a Leah in her 20's, and throughout my school-years my name was often mispronounced by teachers. They usually tried to pronounce it "Lay-ah". But, I've always loved my name and the fact that I am usually the only "Leah" in the school or social setting.
I'm 15 (as of 2009) and live in New York. I know a ton of Leahs all of whom pronounce it Lee-ah, except for one who says LAY-ah. There are at least five in my school and I know even more outside of it, but I still love the name.
My younger (21 year old) sister's name is Leah, and she was the only Leah we've ever personally known. I love her name! Everyone in school could pronounce her name (probably because its a bible name and we went to Catholic school) but some people in later years have tried to pronounce it Lee...I don't see it personally. My parents used to sing the rock song Ah-Leeeeeaaaah to her all the time :)

A choreography of architecture: On Zaha Hadid in the eyes of Cairo's Modern Dance Company
Iron Tears (Domoo' Hadid), a new production by the Cairo Opera House Modern Dance Company with choreography by Walid Aouni, was staged at the Cairo Opera shedding light on the renowned Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid
Nora Amin, Tuesday 22 Oct 2019
Iron Tears (Domoo' Hadid), a new production by the Cairo Opera House Modern Dance Company, founded by Walid Aouni in 1992, sees the pioneer of modern dance in Egypt tackling the renowned Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid; the title is a pun on her second name, meaning "iron" in Arabic.
The game of tears is far from simple, however, since iron is also a vital medium in Hadid's work and so becomes an important element of the choreography and scenography of the piece. Aouni wants to reflect on the iron shapes of Zaha as being forms of iron sadness. He attempts to create shapes and constructions that are both material and abstract, architectural and metaphoric, spatial and aesthetic. As he interweaves the emotional with the scenographic and the embodied, he moves onto a multi-layered metaphorical stage language, in which the key alphabet lies in the equivalence between architectural constructions, the body and sadness. The architectural constructs on stage become the shapes of emotions, the bodily movements too become part of the architectural constructs contributing flow and transformation towards the structural architecture of sadness. Both the live dancing body and the still architectural sticks fuse into a choreography where there is no more division between human and object, nor between dance and stage design. Iron Tears is definitely Aouni's masterpiece.
Being a painter himself, Aouni is very close to the field of visual design. All his productions are marked by extremely powerful imagery. The former scenographer of the iconic Maurice Béjart has always been a choreographer working not only with the dancing body but the whole stage as well. Since his first productions at the Cairo Opera House, which I personally experienced as part of the founding ensemble, Aouni has conceived of movement as an intrinsic component of the visual world, a world composed via the human body, light design and set-material constructs. This vision is unique in itself as it produces a specific theatricality where the human body is dancing within a choreographic visual field as opposed to traditional choreography where the dancing body is "placed" next to stage props and set. In Iron Tears one can see how much the vision and signature of Aouni have grown into a unique choreo-scenography.
The dancers move in a very calculated manner, a mathematical distribution of the number of dancers, their spatial directions and the combinations of clusters they form on stage. While all dance choreographies are based on certain calculations, whether in relation to tempo, beat or repetition, Aouni's choreography adopts geometrical calculations as an equivalent to Hadid's architectural constructs. Geometry here builds on an architecture that is form and content together. Indeed the life of an architect cannot be otherwise portrayed, or reconstructed. The different shapes play dramaturgical roles, from the constructed borders to the sharp square lines to the entangled shapes and alienating blocks. Each shape refers to a phase of Hadid's life. A woman who carries the name "iron" and who does work with iron would inspire force and strictness. In fact, Aouni manages to reverse the clichés related to powerful women – Margaret Thatcher being the Iron Lady, and so on – and guides us through the challenging journey of the architect without labelling. He traces her struggle as an Iraqi immigrant and how she fought racism and succeeded in building a career and a name of her own.
While her voice echoes a few times in the hall, the spectators can look around and watch the constructs of privilege which surrounds them within the Cairo Opera House. To look around and start perceiving the history and architecture of privilege that exist within a performing arts venue is to succeed in moving borders between the stage and the outer world, between the architecture of performance and the architecture of spectatorship. Aouni guides to a reflection on the constructs of racism and discrimination that Hadid confronted in her personal life, yet he also transforms those | 2.512415 | 0.527947 | 0.843675 | 1.008416 | [

into choreographic and scenographic material. A genuine aspect of Aouni's experience this time is how he fuses form and content, transforming political criticism into a choreographic endeavour.
Iron Tears is an invitation to re-visit dance choreography as a descendant of geometry and anatomy, an invitation to appreciate dance all over again as a science not only of the body, but of the world that has been constructed around the body, and with it, across history. Humanity has been building its architecture around the human body, and now the human body is dancing the architecture that resides within it and is produced by it. Dance and space construction are two facets of the same coin. A choreographer is an architect's peer, the dancer is the builder, the manpower, inhabitant and destroyer. With a very small number clever props, Aouni creates houses, prisons, bridges and roads. Frames, flexible sticks, fabric and rays of sharp light construct a world where brilliance survives and thrives, and where cohabitation is a matter of embracing humanity rather than occupying space.
At the end of the piece, one is left with a profound sense of sadness. Is it the intrinsic sadness of the young Hadid who fled her homeland to become a migrant? Is it the sadness of a world that keeps destroying whatever brilliant constructs it has been building over the years? Or is it the sadness resulting from the fact that the divisions created by world politics have become the mental architecture of today?

Contains spoilers. Obviously.
The closing lines of a book can end up defining it. They can bring a sense of closure to the story, complete plot threads and character arcs, or leave the reader wanting more with a cliffhanger. They're much more significant in literary terms (as opposed to marketing) than the opening lines, which can often be drab, unmemorable and difficult to absorb due to the author's lack of familiarity with the story – unless you're Jane Austen, anyway. It's a difficult/impossible task to compile a list of all my favourite endings to books, especially since I can't claim to have read a significant portion of English literature – let alone the established canon – but I'm going to attempt it anyway. So here's my top 10 list:
10. Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins (2009)
"But Gale is not one to keep secrets from me. 'Katniss, there is no District Twelve."
These words form the colossal cliffhanger of Catching Fire, the second book in The Hunger Games trilogy. Suzanne Collins excels at bringing characters from despair to hope, and at bringing everything crashing down once again. At this stage of the novel Katniss has just been rescued from the death-match arena, surviving her second Hunger Games which were supposed to be a death sentence. Furthermore, her actions in the arena proved to be the final spark which blazed into life a rebellion against the Capitol and the brutal dictator, President Snow. Yet after this we learned that Peeta had been captured by the Capitol forces in their escape and then, finally, we're given this final line that states Katniss' home district is gone. We know that the government has firebombed the coal-covered District 12 and that her mother and sister are safe, but this shocking final message with its brutal lack of detail hammers it home as the reader runs out of words. We don't know how many people survived – if any, nor the wider context of this attack. This cliffhanger is highly effective and is a taste of things to come in the third and final novel, Mockingjay.
9. The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman (2000)
" 'And then what?' said her dæmon sleepily. "Build what?" 'The Republic of Heaven,' said Lyra."
This final line to my all-time favourite book, though not a literary masterpiece in itself like other lines in this list, remains a highly fitting conclusion to the His Dark Materials trilogy. The central theme to the books is that humanity should not look to a deity, real or otherwise, for meaning and purpose, but find and build it within themselves. The Republic of Heaven begins as an attempt to build a real society in contrast to the Kingdom of Heaven which ends in war between the two, but it becomes clear that such a project is doomed to fail as people cannot inhabit other worlds than their own in the long-term. Earlier in the book Lyra is told by a ghost, "We must build the Republic of Heaven where we are, because for us there is no elsewhere." At first she probably didn't understand this, but her assertion at the end of the novel indicates she has embraced this philosophy. Knowing there is no conscious existence after death, nor hope of life in other worlds, Lyra has accepted after multiple sacrifices that she must live as fulfilling a life as possible in her own world during her own lifespan, bringing the thematic journey of the series to a satisfying conclusion.
8. Brave New World – Aldous Huxley (1931)
"Slowly, very slowly, like two unhurried compass needles, the feet turned towards the right; north, north-east, east, south-east, south, south–south-west; then paused, and after a few seconds, turned as unhurriedly back towards the left. South-south west, south-south east, east…"
This somewhat graphic description of John the Savage's suicide brings Brave New World to a close. These final lines are powerful because of the sheer brutality of their imagery, using the comparison of compass needles and an agonisingly long, drawn out list of directions to create a vivid image of his feet dangling from above. This makes the ending far | 1.904279 | 0.57898 | 0.902009 | 0.29434 | [

more effective, as his suicide had been built up to throughout the book as he struggled to adapt to this horrific new world he found himself in, and particularly after the confused and drug-induced events in the previous scene where he let down all his moral barriers, which could have made the ending seem predictable otherwise.
7. The Casual Vacancy by J. K. Rowling (2012)
"Her family half carried Terri Weedon back down the royal-blue carpet, and the congregation averted its eyes."
This closing line is important for several reasons. Pagford's divisions are laid bare between its wealthy residents and deprived families by the former's collective act of looking away from the coffin of the woman who epitomised the latter, Terri Weedon. The people of Pagford have made no success throughout the novel in understanding people in situations different from their own. Their averted gaze symbolises the ignorance they held the family's condition in, continuing to view their faults as self-imposed rather than the result of institutional, generational poverty. For a novel which explores all aspects of human society, the good and the bad, this may seem surprisingly hopeless, though it's important to remember the individual characters who have been redeemed throughout the novel. This final line, then, confirms the novel's message that although humans may see positive changes on an individual level over the course of the novel's timespan, societal change is a much slower, messier process.
6. The Great Gatsby – F. Scott Fitzgerald (1926)
"Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter – tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms further… And one fine morning- So we beat on, boats against the current, born back ceaselessly into the past."
Fitzgerald's lyrical writing flows from the page to summarise the novel's themes, told by the narrator Nick Carraway. These final paragraphs offer us two contrasting visions: the first of a temporary setback in reaching their dreams – the American Dream – and the second revelation that obsessively seeking your dreams, as was the case with Gatsby, merely drags you further into the past as you seek to recreate former glory. Which is doomed to fail because, as Nick enlightened us earlier, "you can't repeat the past." Furthermore, this is confirmation that the entire concept of the American Dream is a lie, or obsolete in this postwar world. These final lines show us why The Great Gatsby remains hugely relevant for American society today.
5. The Yellow Wallpaper – Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1892)
"Now why should that man have fainted? But he did, and right across my path by the wall, so that I had to creep over him every time!"
The closing line of this wonderful short story completes the narrator's mental breakdown having been confined to a bedroom in solitary confinement so she can 'rest', a barbaric but oh-so Victorian way of treating depression. We watch the narrator's mental state unravel as she becomes obsessed by the patterned wallpaper in her room, fixating all her world's meaning upon it, and begins ritually walking round the room stripping the paper off. Her husband, upon viewing her, faints, but this does not deter her and she continues walking her path over him. These closing lines show just how removed from reality she has become that she is unable to even contextualise her husband's identity and wellbeing, so severe has her mistreatment been.
4. Cloud Atlas – David Mitchell (2004)
"Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?"
This last line of Adam Ewing's diary brings this epic of a novel to a close. By this point we've witnessed six different time periods, movements to abolishing slavery, multiple personal adventures, revolutions and even the end of civilisation itself. In each of the six stories it is heavily implied that a major character is the reincarnation of another from a previous story. Whether Mitchell means this literally or as a metaphor for the consistent nature of the human soul, be it habit of the strong to exploit the weak or the enduring power of love, this final line must summarise not just the entire book but also humanity in | 1.882365 | 0.226226 | 0.767588 | 0.586994 | [

3. Animal Farm – George Orwell (1945)
"Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again: but already it was impossible to say which was which."
This classic ending to Animal Farm completes the story's circular plot of the farm being ruled by oppressive humans, the animals themselves in a brief period of freedom before being oppressed once again by the pigs. Orwell masterfully shows the pigs gradually adopting more manlike manners by reneging on their laws outlawing alcohol and murder, among others, and then by the pigs entering the farmhouse and sleeping in human beds. These closing lines bring this process to its natural conclusion where the pigs, to all intents and purposes, have become men. As this is Orwell there is inevitably a political purpose, and here it is to show how the Communist leaders of the Soviet Union have become indistinguishable from the former Tsarist regime. Never has there been a more successful allegory.
2. Ulysses – James Joyce (1922)
"and then I asked him with my eyes to ask again yes and then he asked me would I yes to say yes my mountain flower and first I put my arms around him yes and drew him down to me so he could feel my breasts all perfume yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes."
Without a doubt the most unorthodox quote you'll find on this list, the final lines of Ulysses (as opposed to the final sentence, which is over three thousand words long) brings some perhaps surprising order to this novel that so many people find unfathomable. Throughout the day of Leopold Bloom, described in eye-watering levels of detail, he has been portrayed as a gentle and kind person, a protective father figure for Stephen, possessing moderate political views in opposition to xenophobic Irish nationalism and remarkable understanding towards his wife Molly, who has just begun an affair. As a result of this he is frequently emasculated by characters throughout the book, particularly during chapter 15's nightmare sequence in which he is literally turned into a woman. His inadequacy as a hero is reinforced with the constant allusions to Homer's Odysseus, proving himself to be the stark opposite of this bold, heroic figure. And yet, in Molly's final soliloquy, her lasts thoughts before falling asleep are of Bloom as she remembers the day he asked her to marry him. We can finally recognise Bloom as the undoubted hero of the novel as he wins this ultimate victory against his rival for Molly – a victory not just for himself but for his values of tolerance. It becomes clear that Bloom is indeed a hero, and perhaps precisely the one that Ireland needs.
1. Nineteen Eighty-Four – George Orwell (1949)
"But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother."
Yes, Orwell again! These famous lines represent The Party's ultimate victory over Winston, providing one of the bleakest yet most powerful endings in English literature. Throughout the novel Winston has opposed The Party and Big Brother, expressing his hatred of them both multiple times throughout. And yet Orwell shows that even the deepest convictions can be uprooted by force, in Winston's case through systematic torture and the horrors of Room 101. The final sentence, deliberately basic in its construction, is an affirmation of Winston's conversion, while the shift to a relaxed, reassuring tone expresses clearly how he has changed from the anguish-ridden man from the rest of the novel. Completely at odds to the rest of the book, these final lines serve as the ultimate warning to the power of totalitarian regimes to bend and breaks their citizens upon their own whims. It's a message just as important today as it was in 1949.

The Amber Spyglass: A Religion For Me
Posted on December 9, 2012 by Mathew
(Contains spoilers)
The His Dark Materials books by Philip Pullman are an incredible trilogy. I first read them at the age of 13, and they were the catalyst for my final abandonment of my religious beliefs (which I shall discuss in a future blog post). I've recently re-read the trilogy; my third reading of the books. This post will largely focus on The Amber Spyglass and the alternative approach to religion which it presents.
The Amber Spyglass can be seen as an utter rejection of Christian values and beliefs. This is obvious by the point Lord Asriel has founded the Republic of Heaven and is waging war against God, but should be obvious even before then by scathing comments towards the church and its hold over power. However it is in subtle allegories that I feel Pullman creates parallels with religion most effectively, which sets him up to reject it and create a new set of beliefs which I would actually like to believe in if they weren't fictional.
These allegories focus around the world of the Mulefa, which is never named but I believe may symbolise Eden. This may seem a strange comparison considering the imperfections which exist (chiefly the Tualapi) and that, as Pullman explains, this world came to be out of evolution and natural processes, but that's not the point. A central theme which develops throughout the book is the need to build a metaphorical 'Republic of Heaven' in people's own worlds, where they are, by living full lives and building stories and living in harmony with one another. The world of the Mulefa is an example of this put into practice. They are in harmony with nature, using the seed pods to elevate themselves to a position of dominance, given to them by their ability to travel over the lava-roads and, most importantly, through the seed oil which gives them consciousness. In return their use of the seed pods crack them open and allow the seeds to germinate. They live a rustic lifestyle, taking from the earth what they need and in turn giving to the earth what it needs.
The Mulefa are unique also in their harmony with one another. Two Mulefa are never seen to argue, and everything they do is done in cooperation – such as tying nets which requires two to work concurrently on the same net and in gathering food. There are very little politics in Mulefa society; councils exist and some Mulefa appear to have elevated positions, but every member of the society has a voice and will be listened to.
The Mulefa have their own creation story. They believe the first Mulefa – a female, in contrast to Genesis' Adam – discovered a seed pod and a serpent told her to put her foot through it to achieve knowledge. This is very similar to the tale of Adam and Eve in Christianity, but where humanity see this as 'The Fall' and long to return to the bliss of ignorance, the Mulefa celebrate this event. Christian doctrine goes that as a result of The Fall humanity became alienated both from God and from nature, yet the Mulefa have somehow kept the union unbroken – perhaps due to their different interpretation. This adds to the idea that the Mulefa world is, allegorically, Eden.
It is somehow fitting then that, when Lyra and Will create an exit for the prisoners of the World of the Dead, the world their atoms are scattered into is Eden. There is no Heaven nor eternal paradise, but in becoming one with nature conscious life can reach a form of contented harmony. To reach this state one does not need to sacrifice their lives and freedom for a Deity – this would in fact keep them trapped forever in the World of the Dead. People need to lives worth talking about, create stories, and strive for fulfilment. These are healthy morals, in my | 1.381063 | 0.749985 | 0.841139 | 0.438716 | [

Another theme of the entire trilogy is opposition to authority. The head angel is never referred to as God, but as 'The Authority', which shows the nature of his rule. The fact that The Authority is a wizened, weak angel needing to be kept in a crystal case for safety, whose existence is scattered by the force of the wind, sums up the futility of his role. All throughout the novel characters are encouraged to question authority, though this most often equates to challenging the church. While this is most definitely a theme I would agree with, it does not seem to extend to other authorities. When the angel Xaphania tells Will and Lyra that every window between worlds must be closed to stop Dust leaving the world, and the Subtle Knife destroyed, they blindly accept it. They have reason to, until Xaphania tells them one window could be kept open, which would be used to allow the dead to continue flowing into 'Eden'. If one window can be afforded to be kept open, surely a second window would not be the end of Dust either? Surely Lyra and Will are owed the opportunity to be together after everything they have done for the rebellion? I love this book dearly, but this is a major flaw. In accepting Xaphania's words, Lyra and Will are rejecting Pullman's message that all authority should be questioned. Clearly, only 'bad' authority can be corrupt.
This brings me onto the role of Dust. Dust is an elementary particle which has a symbiotic relationship with consciousness; one cannot exist without the other. The Magisterium fears and hates Dust, believing that it is the cause of all sin. It is my belief that Dust is meant to symbolise sin itself. Christian belief states that as a result of The Fall, sin entered the world. How this happened is not explained, but it is a very similar image to the Dust Mary Malone, Lord Asriel and others see flowing out of the world, out of the universe, into the Abyss. But once again Christian belief is subverted. Where Christians, like the Magisterium, fear and hate sin, the message of The Amber Spyglass is that Dust ought to be celebrated. Dust brings conscious life to the Mulefa, due to keeping the seed-pod trees alive. It does the same for humanity, and all life which is self aware. Once more I agree with Pullman's message that anything which brings greater knowledge to humanity, be it Dust, the Tree of Knowledge or science, is worth celebrating.
In Christian doctrine God is split into three parts of the Holy Trinity: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and the Holy Spirit. In the universe Pullman has created, life is also split into three parts: the body, the dæmon (soul) and the ghost. Upon death the body and the soul, which are considered the most important aspects, dissipate and become one with the world, but The Authority keeps the ghost prisoner in the World of the Dead. This is contrary to the Christian idea of life after death as being 'salvation'. Pullman takes the view that an eternal life, whether in bliss, suffering or neither, would not be desirable. It is only through Lyra and Will's actions that the ghosts are freed from this living death.
One final point I have on trilogy's attitude towards Christianity is the lack of any criticism, or even reference to, Jesus Christ the Saviour. References to the Magesterium aside, which is clearly based on the Catholic Church, the religion Pullman is criticising could easily also be Judaism. I would imagine this is due to there being very little in Jesus' philosophy to criticise, other than the acts done in his name. Perhaps even, in Lyra's world, Jesus never existed, or his doctrines never extended beyond cult status. He is certainly a major omission, but most likely a deliberate one.
As I read The Amber Spyglass I thought this is a religion with such great messages, morals and stories that I actually wished it were true. Dust, Mulefa, parallel worlds, death, authority… The book presents all these themes in ways I believe they should be treated. And the ultimate theme, the idea of creating a Republic of Heaven where we are, 'because there is no elsewhere,' is a wonderful message. Basically, don't squander or waste you life because you only live once and the world is there for the taking. The world is your oyster, if you like.

Dog Areas in Ambridge
6 Parks
2 Groomers
Ambridge is a borough that's located along the shore of the Ohio River, 17 miles from Pittsburgh. The small town was named after the American Bridge Company and continues to bridge its ties with humans to its four-legged residents. Ambridge is always growing, providing residents and pups with new places to play, walk, and get some exercise. The town also has one animal hospital to cater to the health needs of its pups.
The Ambridge Borough Park is the largest park in the city, with a little something for everyone. The developed area of the park provides residents with two enclosed baseball fields, maintained open spaces, picnic shelters, grills, and restrooms. The rest of the park includes rural forests and trails, with over 3 miles of hiking paths made from dirt and gravel. Dogs must remain on a leash while at the park, but have access to water fountains, benches, and clean-up stations.
Economy Park is another dog-friendly park in the city that allows leashed pups inside. The park has over 24 acres of land, including woods, open fields, tennis courts, and trails. Dogs are welcome in the enclosed tennis courts as long as not in use, or can enjoy a decent walk along the winding paths. Additional features of the park include water fountains, restrooms, a pavilion, and benches.
Ambridge offers charm, friendliness, and a beautiful downtown to not only humans but their dogs as well.

Samurai Dave's 2007 In Review: Travels, Festivals, and Events
Another year has come and gone and in soppy melodramatic fashion, it's time to look back on all we've done and didn't do. Instead of focusing on love or lack there of or personal growth, I've look back through the magic of film and video on all the places and things I saw in 2007.
I rang in the New Year between the traditional area of Asakusa and the sleazy area of Roppongi. Needlessly to say the 1st of January did not see me until much later in the day, in fact it was evening. My first activity of the New Year then was the following day after sleeping off an all-nighter in Roppongi. I went to the Imperial Palace on January 2nd to hear the Emperor's New Year address. Didn't understand a word he said (my New Year's Resolution is to fix that problem by next year).
A week later I went to Meiji Shrine for Seijin-no-hi (Coming of Age Day) to see kimono-clad girls strut their stuff.
That weekend I went to Kanda Shrine to watch Shinto adherents prove their mettle by drenching themselves in freezing cold water. However given the unusual warmth that month, the normally chill-inducing spectactle looked rather refreshing.

The next week I went out to a temple in east part of Tokyo – Kameido. There they had a type of Noh performance. This was the first time for me to see Noh but by the end of the year while I would be no expert in Noh, I would at least know Noh much better than before.
The 3rd of February is one of my favorite times of the year. This is Setsubun which is like a mix of New Years, Groundhog Day, and Halloween rolled up togther. Every year I attend the mami-maki (bean-tossing) at different temples. This time I hit three temples – Senso-ji in Asakusa, Zojo-ji in Hammatscho, and Kichibojin in Ikebukuro. I always enjoy watching old ladies knocking people over for thrown washcloths, beans, and other trinkets.
I mainly stayed in Tokyo and when I wasn't killing zombies and Nazis on my Playstation I was visiting gardens such as Hama-rikyu.
The end of February brings out the plum blossoms, the heralds of Spring. To see them I took daytrips to Kamakura which due to the warm winter had already shed its plum blossoms and I went to Mito in the Ibaraki Prefecture to see Kairaku-en Garden with its hundreds of plum blossoms.
February was a good month for armor. I got the chance to wear samurai armor twice. Once in Odawara in front of the castle for 200 Yen and another time in Ikebukuro at a store's opening week for free. My inner geek was pleasantly sated.
I took another daytrip out to Chiba to watch another type of Shinto ritual where half-naked men wrestled in a cold muddy pond to ensure good fortune for all – its a Shinto thing.

February-March
The next day I embarked on an ardous journey into the heart of the urban jungle of Tokyo. Along with my comrade, Zen Master Jeff, I hiked around the Yamanote Line for five days. We stayed at an ryokan, an internet cafe, a karaoke box, and a capsule hotel. Our outfits were a mix of samurai, old style Yakuza, pilgrim, and backpacker. We met quite a few people and had several interesting adventures because of these costumes.
In March I went to Nagoya where the year before I had attended one of the most amusing festivals – the fertility festival of Tagata Shrine. Once again I saw that huge wooden phallus hove into sight admist the awes and chuckles of the spectators.
The next day I went to reconstructed castle | 0.574325 | 0.773263 | -0.435383 | -0.904241 | [

whose original structure once belonged to warlord Oda Nobunaga.
Two days later I celebrated St. Patrick's Day at an Irish Pub with some co-workers where we listened to a kickass Irish band who were all Japanese.

The next day I went to Asakusa's Senso-ji Temple to watch the Kinryu-no-Mai – Golden Dragon Dance.
Showing the spirit of union solidarity I attended the annual March in March, a gathering of foriegn and japanese union members. It rained during the march but the sun came out at the end – The Man can now control the weather!
In April, I made my yearly Cherry Blossom pilgrimage to Kyoto where I enjoyed the Sakura both day and night thanks to nighttime illuminations.
On the second day of my trip, I went to Nara, the first official capital of Japan, to feed the semi-tame persistant deer and see the Diabutsu – Great Buddha.
The third day, I went to Yoshino which was an Imperial capital for some decades when there were two rival Imperial Courts for a time.
As it was there was a Geisha performance going on back in Kyoto at the same time in the Gion Quarter – the Miyako Odori. Luckily I was able to get a last minute ticket on my last day.
Though laden with controversy (and with good reason) Yasakuni Shrine hosts an outdoor sumo event in mid-April. While the blossoms fall, sumo wrestlers toss each other around for our free amusement.
A few days later I went to Kamakura to see Cherry Blossoms and watch a display of Yabusame – mounted archery. I injured my knee scrambling up a small tree for a better view. This injury would come back to haunt later in the summer when I was limping about.
Next Saturday, I went to Sumida Park in Asakusa to see another demonstration of Yabusame. It was here were I first saw it performed years ago and I go back to Sumida almost every year.
I went to Harajuku Park one Sunday to see the goth lolita anime folks. While I was there I was interviewed for a French cable TV channel called French Wave or something like that. It was suppose to air sometime in July but I had no way of seeing it.
That particularly Sunday in Harajuku I stumbled the remnants of the group that used to dominate Harajuku – the dancing rockabilly gangs. Don't know why the cops drove them off 10 years ago.
Usually in May during Japan's Golden Week, I stay put in Tokyo either working or killing people – on my Playstation, of course. Although I get 3-4 days off and sometimes more depending on my schedule, I don't like to travel at this time because everyone is traveling. Prices are high and accomodations hard to come by. Still this year, I went up to Yonezawa in Yamagata Prefecture to see the re-enactment of Kawanakajima, one of the famous samurai battles of the Sengoku (Warring States) Period. The re-enactment was more like a high school play with a fair size budget but that was ok as it added a surreal element of watching smiling schoolgirl samurai swinging swords about.
I also try a bit of Yonezawa's famous beef – which was a damn good (and expensive!) steak.
From Yonezawa I went north to Sendai and then to Hiraizumi where another festival was taking place. I watched Noh performed on a 300 year old outdoor Noh stage and drummers dressed in bizarre deer costumes. As for accomodations, I stayed for three nights in true backpacking style -at the Chateau de Internet Cafe.
The following week I was off again – back to Kyoto for 6 days. In Kyoto I went to the Silver Pavalion – Ginkakuji – named so even though it actually doesn't have any silver. A grim jest of financial destitution or a tourist scam, you decide. Still, lovely building, silver or no.
I attended this year's Kamogawa Odori geisha performance in Pontocho which had a story set during the civil war which burnt much of Kyoto and | 0.349698 | 0.751775 | -0.874311 | -0.779863 | [

explained why Ginkakuji was silver-less.
That evening I went to Gion Corner to get a crash course in traditonal Japanese arts from Tea Ceremony, kodo playing (japanese harp), gagaku (court music and dance), geisha dancing, ikebana (flower-arranging), kyogen (the amusing plays inbetween the serious Noh dramas) finally to bunraku (puppet drama), All of this in under an hour.
I took the second part of the program and learned a bit on how to do make tea in the traditional tea ceremony way. My tea was a bit strong I'm afraid.
The following day I went outside of Nara to see the site of the oldest Buddhist temple – Horyuji. The current buildings do not date back to the 6th century, though.
In Nara for two nights I watched Noh by torchlight. There's no Noh like torchlight Noh.
On Sunday I went to Iga-Ueno which was the hometown of some of Japan's original Ninja. There I saw a short demonstration of Ninja fighting which basically means fighting dirty.

Monday I went to Ise famed for its shrines which are the number one shrines in the Shinto faith. However, instead of going to these cultural meccas since I had been culturing it up anyhow, I went to a samurai theme park. Ise has one of the Edo Wonderland themepark chains this one based on the later half of the Sengoku Period. I watched a samurai stage drama which I didn't understand but the plot was simple enough to follow – bad samurai wants precious sword that good samurai guards. Good guy won. Dammit! Gave away the ending – sorry!
On Tuesday, I watched one of Japan's oldest festivals, the Aoi Matsuri which was my main purpose for my trip.
My knee had troubled me a bit at first but by the end of the trip, I was fine. However my knee injury would re-surface during the rainy season next month. Before that occurred I still had some weeks with a trouble-free knee and so two days back from my Kyoto trip off I went to Nikko to catch the tail end of the festival procession honoring Tokugawa Ieyasu.
I caught a bit of Asakusa's Sanja Matsuri as well. I was really still tired from my Kyoto trip to gave these last two as much time and energy. But I watched people carrying around Mikoshi -portable shrines – and had a good time. I aslo caught another bit of Noh (it was definately becoming a Noh year for me).
I was rested enough towards the end of the month to take in sumo. I was fortunate to be there the day Yokozuna (champion) Asashoryu lost a pivotal match which paved the way for a new Yokozuna. Well, fortunate for me not for him, I guess.

Two days later I was in an area known as Miura, a beach area 2 hours south of Tokyo, where I watched another form of Yabusame – Kasagake. Similar to Yabusame, kasagake has a more military practicality. The targets are placed in front and are lower down at the same height as a dismounted enemy.
June is the rainy season so I planned to take it easy for a change and just stay put but as luck would have it during the Sanja Matsuri I chanced upon a poster for a festival in some town I never of before. The festival was honoring a samurai family from long ago who fled to the village of Yunishigawa. I was intrigued so off I went. To my dismay I missed the procession of warriors in 12th century armor by a day but I caught something even better – women in colorful robes dancing in the street and an incredible performance on a biwa – a type of lute.
Biwa Performance
I injured my knee by putting too much stress on it running to work one day. I ended up limping into class. Through mid-June to mid-July I spent most of my days off at home but I did go to Harajuku park again one Sunday to see the inhabitants there.

, I was back down in Kyoto once again. This time for the Gion Festival. Two-story floats filled with musicians and covered with old tapestries were pulled through the streets. Today the floats are dwarfed by tall modern buildings but back in the day, those floats must have really seemed gigantic.
I also went into the mountains behind Kyoto to Enryaku-ji which was once a huge temple compound with thousands of subtemples until the aforementioned Oda Nobunaga who apparently wasn't much of a temple-going man burned many of the temples and killed a great number of priests. The priests, however, weren't terribly temple-going types either has they maintained an army and used it to fight other temples and bully the capital.
There was a sumo tournament in Nagoya so I headed up there and spent the whole day at the sumo tournament where I watched the various ranks of sumo wrestlers from the lowest to the highest compete. I aslo got the chance to visit one of the sumo houses but it was after their dinner so I missed all the "big" sumo wrestlers. Only the "little" guys were there cleaning up.
I basically took it easy this trip though since the weather wasn't all that great and my knee was bothering me. The last day I went on a type of fishing excursion known as ukai where cormorant birds are used to catch fish. It was dark and rainy and my camera kept fogging up.
Next week I was at it again – this time the Soma Nomaoi, a festival I went to 2 years ago. I saw again the armored samurai in the best historical procession I've seen. This time I stayed for the last day's festivities of the 3-day festival. I watched pensioners round up semi-wild horses at a shrine.
August was a crazy month for me which made all the previous months pale in comparison. Starting Aug 2 I went on an 8-day 6-festival trip throughout Tohoku. I started with the drumming festival of Sansa Odori in Morioka.
Then I went to Akita City where I watched people balance huge bamboo poles with lanterns on their palms, hips, and heads.
South of Morioka, I spent two days at a festival where they had all kinds of dance performances but the best one and the one that brought me here in the first place was the Oni Kembai or devil dance.
I spent two refreshing nights in a business hotel during the Oni Kembai festival – this after two nights in two uncomfortable internet cafes – before going to Hirosaki to see Neputa.
then off to Aomori to see the last night of Nebuta in which they put some of the best floats in harbor while fireworks go off overhead.
The last festival was similar to Aomori's Nebuta except that the floats were much taller – 3 of them clocked in at 22 meters high! This was Tachi Neputa, the tiny town of Goshogowara's claim to fame. My knee bothered me so much at times I could barely walk.
A week later I was in Niigata on Sado Island to see once again the Kodo Taiko drum group's 3-day concert. It was here I met with some sexy japanese belly dancers. I finally got myself a knee brace before going out to the island which helped me hobble about a bit better.

Near the end of the month, I was back in Asakusa to catch the Asakusa Samba Festival. Lots of cameras were clicking away as scantily-clad samba girls pranced about to a Latin beat.

The next evening I went to Kameido Temple to see another Noh performance this one by torchlight too.
September – typhoon season – I really did take easy though I still went to sumo on one of my days off.
In my neighborhood, I caught a festival. Though I missed the mikoshi, I saw a cool drum band.
During that time there was an Oktoberfest celebration going on near Tokyo station at | 0.604457 | 0.810866 | -0.530968 | -0.773522 | [

Hibiya Park. I spent two nights there drinking German and Japanese beers eating sausages and watching German and Japanese girls prance about in leiderhosen – or whatever german girls wear – to German oompah music.
I had meant to go to a festival that month up in Aizu in Fukushima Prefecture but this time my laziness finally said no and I stayed home the whole time and killed zombies on Resident Evil/Biohazard 4.
October was another busy month as I took off to Europe to meet up with my parents, my sister and her husband, my cousin, and my uncle in a small family renunion in italy. I headed off first to catch the last two days of Oktoberfest in Munich. The last Saturday of Oktoberfest was so packed I was in mortal danger of going beerless at the world's largest beer festival. Fortunately, the gods of beer smiled upn me and I was able to partake of the holy elixir.
Then I spent a week beer-guzzling while taking in the castles of Bavaria's mad king, Ludwig II and listening to some really talented street musicians.

An overnight bus brought me to Zagreb where I spent the morning wandering around the old town admiring the rampant grafitti. At noon, I had my eardrums shattered by their noonday chime which is delivered by a WWII howitizer cannon.

From Zagreb I proceeded to Ljubjana, the capital of Slovenia, a country which tires of being mistaken for Slovakia.
I spent a night there then spent a day at beautiful Lake Bled.
An overnight train brought me into Venice – well not at first since in my exhaustion I got off at the first station before Venice and had to wait half-an-hour till the next one. I spent the day wandering about the city which was all I could afford to do as admission prices are stupidly high and the lines were stupidly long too. That night I arrived in Florence and spent much of the next day there.
I met my family at a villa that was part of a small castle complex outside of Florence. Wasn't use to this luxury – I had slept in a locker for two nights in the train station in Munich during Oktoberfest. From then on it was smooth sailing – except when we got lost on the winding roads of the Tuscan Hills which was often.
I went to several medieval walled towns that week in Tuscany and Umbria. Ah, the bloodshed and paranioa of past centuries left some wonderful sites to see throughout the area. My favorite was Monteriggiono outside of Siena.
I returned home to Tokyo just in time to catch a ride on the notorious Yamanote Halloween Train. Little did I know till later of all the controversy that had been swarming around the event. As it was, the killjoys helped to kill one Halloween Train but they knew nothing about the Halloween Train I was on – the killjoys left some amusingly angry comments on the Youtube video I made about the event.

After the Halloween Train, I went into Roppongi for a bit fun and sleaze. I also went there on Weds, Halloween proper but it was dead and not int he Halloween sense. However, I did get a bit of grind action from a she-devil and her playboy playmate pal.
November was another quiet month. On Culture Day, Nov 3, I went to a small pocket in Tokyo's urban sprawl to see a small demonstration of a Japanese lord's procession from several centuries ago and to see one of my student's samba group perform.
I went home for Thanksgiving where I got fat on some good southern grub such as fried catfish, mashed potatoes and gravy, and cornbread. Also got to pet my doggies.
December was also a quiet one for traveling. I went to Sengaku-ji Temple in Shinagawa to see the festival honoring the 47 Ronin who 300 years earlier | 0.288747 | 0.094615 | -1.222093 | -1.036261 | [

arrived on a snowy morning with the head of the lord's enemy to lay at their masters' grave.
Then on the 23rd I went to the Imperial Palace again. This time to hear the Emperor give a birthday address. Since 2002, I've always gone to the Palace on the Emperor's birthday. Last year I missed the address though I was still able to go inside. This year I got to see and hear some welldressed Japanese rightwingers (and possible yakuza) get really into wishing the Emperor a happy birthday.
And the last 5 minutes of 2007 were spent at Zojo-ji Temple where hundreds of balloons flew off.
Whew! Well that's that for 2007! Look out 2008! Actually, I think might just take the year off.

Often Overlooked Odawara – Part Two
Often Overlooked Odawara Part 2
A Castle Town celebrates its former glory
Odawara Castle, now a modern reconstruction housing a museum
Towards the end of the 16th Century, the Hojo family of Odawara was one of the strongest clans in war-torn Japan. Through their military victories and adept political maneuvers they had risen from practically a band of highwaymen following a bandit leader to becoming a feared and respected honorable family. But their time was quickly coming to an end even while they were at the height of their prowess.
The Fall of the Hojo
Perhaps it was their victories coupled with their defensive strategies that made the Hojo complacent and arrogant. A new power and a new way of doing things was coming into being beyond their well-defended realm. To the west near modern day Nagoya, the ruthless warlord Oda Nobunaga was working towards the unification of Japan, which was split into many warring territories. Nobunaga was a new breed of warlord who had a vision of uniting Japan under his progressive policies. To achieve this dream, he innovated a number of new techniques that impacted both society and warfare.
Re-creating a scene from Odawara's illustrious past
Although Nobunaga was assassinated before achieving his dreams, he was succeeded by one of his most brilliant generals, the very capable Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Hideyoshi continued Oda's master plan and brought much of Japan under his control. All that remained was the northern area of the Tohoku region and the Kanto region. Hideyoshi had little to worry about from Tohoku, but the Kanto region of the Hojo was a vexing concern. The Hojo made very little attempt to acknowledge Hideyoshi's power, which by now had been officially sanctioned by the Emperor.
The Hojo leader at the time, Ujimasa, failed to realize the times had changed. He failed to understand that Hideyoshi was different from Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin. When he set out to accomplish something, Hideyoshi rarely gave up. He did not fight battles for the sake of battle itself. In addition, Shingen and Kenshin had been hampered in their attempts to | 0.769846 | 0.656727 | -0.106147 | -0.284465 | [

besiege Odawara castle because of their rivalry with each other. Hideyoshi had no rival to distract him in his quest to bring the Hojo under his thumb.
Hideyoshi was a clever man who utilized his innate creativity in a variety of ways to accomplish his goals. He successfully took a castle once by flooding it out with a massive damning project. He did this while keeping the news of Nobunaga's death from both his enemies and his own men. After concluding this unusual siege, Hideyoshi promptly turned his army around, tracked down his master's killers, and completely defeated them in battle. Truly, the Hojo had never faced such a resourceful and dedicated opponent before.

None of this mattered to the Hojo under Ujimasa. They still saw Hideyoshi as simply the lowly servant to Nobunaga that he once had been and not the brilliant general that he had become. They spurned his offer to come to the capital to tender their respects.

The Third and Final Siege of Odawara Castle
Hideyoshi, in response, raised one of the largest armies ever assembled in Japan. Over 100,000 soldiers were mobilized in 1590 and sent to besiege Odawara. Faced with such opposing numbers, the Hojo decided to remain in Odawara castle and wait Hideyoshi out, as they had done before with Shingen and Kenshin. They thought such a massive army would soon run out of supplies and starve itself. They had not considered Hideyoshi's genius for large-scale planning. Hideyoshi's army was more than well-supplied, and actually enjoyed itself outside the stout walls of Odawara Castle.

Normally castle sieges were unpleasant affairs for both besieger and the besieged, but the siege of Odawara resembled more of a town fair than a siege. Hideyoshi provided all manner of entertainment for his troops. He allowed officers to bring their wives and mistresses. Hideyoshi himself had his mistress join him. Vegetable gardens were set up, market stalls were established, and supplies were brought in by ship.

The soldiers in Hideyoshi's army spent their time in poetry parties, tea ceremonies, gambling, cavorting with courtesans, buying, selling, and trading at the numerous shops that had sprung up in the besiegers' camp. Only the occasional skirmish or raid serve to remind one that there was a war going on. Even these actions were more for relieving boredom than anything else.

The outcome of the siege was a relatively bloodless event — another rarity in Sengoku siege warfare, where the besieged often starved to death, killed themselves, or mounted suicidal last-stand charges. The Hojo leadership reluctantly realized Hideyoshi was not going anywhere and that eventually their stocks would be depleted. They surrendered after three months.
Hideyoshi did not wish for a bloodbath, so the besieged were spared save for Ujimasa and his brother. Technically the fifth ruler of the Hojo was Ujimasa's son Ujinao, but his retired father was the one who really ran the show and so Ujinao was surprisingly spared. His father and uncle were required to commit seppeku — ritual suicide.

Their deaths mark the closing chapter of the Sengoku Period. Hideyoshi had done the unimaginable and united Japan after more than a century of warfare. With the exception of a few finishing touches towards unification, the next time Japanese warriors would fight on Japanese soil would be in the great Sekigahara campaign in 1600, but they would do so in two great unified armies. The chaotic days of Hojo Soun with numerous clans fighting and vying for power were over.

A short walk from the station leads to the old castle ground, the main attraction of Odawara. The castle is a modern reconstruction, like so many castles throughout Japan. Although it survived Hideyoshi's siege, the castle did not survive the wave of destruction that many castles suffered in the late 19th Century as Japan moved forward towards modernization.
The castle was rebuilt in the 1960s with a modern interior which now houses a museum of samurai armor and other artifacts from the castle's history. The top of the castle offers great views of the surrounding area and the ocean. On clear days one can spot Mount Fuji. Admission is just under US$4.
A small menagerie is located on the grounds in the shadow of the main keep. Various birds, monkeys, deer, and one small elephant comprise the inhabitants of this small zoo. The sight of the animals is small cages may depress more than delight, however. The grounds are free.

Odawara Celebrates Its Former Glory
Odawara, the once great city of the Kanto region, declined over the centuries. Yet on May 3rd every year, like ghosts summoned from across the void, armor-clad samurai, spear-toting footmen, mounted warriors, and elegant noble ladies appear to reclaim their lost glory. The Hojo Godai festival allows the citizens of Odawara to relive their city's great past through an impressive historical procession.
A Mikoshi bearer stops to answer a phone call
The procession marches through the castle's lower gate, across the moat, and through parts of the city's street before coming together under the castle walls. There they hold a kind of rally that one might have seen over 400 years ago whenever the Hojo marched to war — which was fairly often. Some of the musket-bearing samurai fire off their old guns on the moat bridge.
Several mikoshi — portable shrines — are toted about by shouting sweaty men. When they reach the gathering spot the men gather up their energy and race forward with their heavy burden.
Grandfatherly Samurai wearing prescription shades
With the marching bands and the eyeglass-wearing samurai, the procession is a kind of mix of a hometown parade and a large procession of extras walking off the set of a Kurosawa film at the end of the day.

Odawara's Legacy
Technically-speaking, Odawara did not impact Japan's destiny directly. It was through the fall of the Hojo that a chain of events was set into motion that would affect not only Japan but also the world.
With the Hojo defeated, there was no one left in Japan to oppose Toyotomi Hideyoshi and so he cast his lusty eyes further afield. Within two years he launched a vainglorious and ultimately disastrous military campaign in Korea in a mad attempt to push through the country and conqueror China. His forces never made it out of Korea despite a second massive invasion a few years later. His actions sowed the seeds of animosity between the two countries, particularly in Korea, which suffered greatly from these destructive invasions.
Colorful samurai with halbred
Back in Japan, the invasions weakened loyalty to the Toyotomi clan and a crafty leader quickly exploited the situation following Hideyoshi's death in 1598. This was Tokugawa Ieyasu who fought at the siege of Odawara. And here was the second major impact that Odawara's fall had on Japan, and perhaps the most important.
As a reward for his services, Hideyoshi offered Ieyasu the Kanto domain of the Hojo in exchange for Ieyasu's old lands, which were uncomfortably close to Hideyoshi's powerbase. Ieyasu accepted the offer and chose for his capital a little old town of small value known as Edo. In 1603, he was named Shogun after defeating Toyotomi supporters three years earlier at Sekigahara. As a result, the city of Edo swiftly grew in size as the new seat of government. And in 1 | 1.216702 | 1.251361 | 0.39476 | -0.046439 | [

867, when the Emperor transfered his residence to Edo, the city was renamed Tokyo. So in short, without the rise of the Odawara Hojo and their subsequent fall, there would be no Tokyo as it is today.

Often Overlooked Odawara – Part One
Often Overlooked Odawara: Part One
A small Japanese Castle Town has a rich history
Odawara Castle – once the seat of power for one of Japan's greatest samurai families
Many tourists in Japan, whether foreign or Japanese, tend to zoom past the little city of Odawara on their way to and from Tokyo, paying it little or no mind. At one time Odawara commanded more attention as a castle town of no small importance. It was once the power base of a strong samurai family over 400 years ago who ruled a wide area of the Kanto region (the area around modern Tokyo) for nearly a century.
Odawara, located an hour southwest of Tokyo, was formerly the headquarters of the powerful Hojo family. In the 16th century, the Hojo clan was a force to be reckoned with during the war-torn period of Japanese history known as the Sengoku Period ("Warring States"). They controlled much of the Kanto region through a network of castles strung up to protect themselves from other powerful rivals.
Reliving Odawara's former glory
The Hojo fought against some of the most illustrious names on the list of famous Japanese warlords; the most prominent being the famed cunning warlord Takeda Shingen, his equally brilliant rival Uesugi Kenshin, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who succeeded in unifying Japan where many other warlords failed.
Today only scant reminders of the Hojo's former glory remain in Odawara. On a hill overlooking the city is a reconstruction of the castle that once had been the seat of power for the whole Hojo domain. While not as impressive as other castles, such as the brilliantly white Himeji Castle near Kobe or the brooding dark Matsumoto Castle in Nagano, Odawara Castle has a history that few can match. Many castles rose and fell throughout those bloody warring times, but the fall of Odawara was a significant event that helped to set the course of Japanese history. For its place in Japanese history, Odawara is at least worthy of a brief visit, especially on May 3rd when the citizens don armor to relive their city's former greatness.
At first and even second and third glance, Odawara does not exactly stand out as anything special. The appeal of Odawara lies in its history and its importance to Japan's overall destiny. To fully appreciate unassuming Odawara, one has to understand the history that went into making this city one of the greatest of 16th Century Japan.

The Rise of the Hojo Clan
Hojo Soun, the founder of the Hojo family, arose out of obscurity in the late 15th Century to win his way with his sword and his wits. His earlier name at the time was Ise Shinkuro, but even this name is thought to be a pseudonym. He first served the powerful Imagawa clan of the Shizouka region. In the 1490s, Soun began to take parts of Izu Peninsula for himself. He supposedly captured the original Odawara castle through a ruse. Soun invited the young lord of the castle on a hunting trip where Soun's men, disguised as hunters, murdered the lord. With Izu under his control, Soun changed his name to Hojo Soun.

By taking the name family name of Hojo, Soun showed his intention of taking all of the Kanto region. The name Hojo had historical significance because it belonged to an earlier powerful samurai family. The original Hojo clan ruled all of Japan from their headquarters in Kamakura from the 13th Century to the mid-14th Century. | 1.14274 | 1.570092 | 0.625558 | 0.267026 | [

They were overthrown by a combined force of discontented samurai and loyal followers of the Emperor. These two groups fell out with each other shortly afterward, and the discontented samurai went on to establish a Shogunate government under the Ashikaga family. The Ashikaga placed one of their family members in the position of Governor of the Kanto Region.
Hojo Soun, considered to be the first true Sengoku warlord
Soun chose the name Hojo, therefore, to suggest he would oust the Ashikaga from Kanto and restore the power of the Hojo. He did not however use the name officially in his lifetime. His son Ujitsuna would be the first to officially use the family name Hojo. Because there is little evidence of family connection with the former Hojo clan of the 13th Century, historians often refer to the Hojo clan established by Soun as the Go-Hojo or simply the Odawara Hojo.

Some historians consider Soun's rise to power to be the true beginning of the Sengoku Period — a time when Japan was divided by numerous independent territories ruled by daimyo (warlords). It was a turbulent time of incessant warfare, betrayals, scheming, and assassinations. The Ashikaga Shogunate crumbled in the mid-15th Century and Japan began to slowly slide into anarchy. Some of the older clans were destroyed and newer ones, like the Hojo, sprang up to replace them.
Before Soun's conquests, warlords would often seek official permission from either the Emperor or Shogun in order to legitimize their actions. Such permission was just a mere formality as the two officials lacked any real power, but even the warlike samurai of the day did not want to break with tradition so readily. Soun, on the other hand, acted similarly as the warlords that would come to power in the next century by following his own course of action without the illusionary sanction of defunct officials.

The Hojo – a Sengoku Family
The Hojo of Odawara were a quintessential Sengoku clan. Rising from nothing, the Hojo attained both power and respect through bold ambition and clever strategy on and off the battlefield. For nearly 100 years, the Hojo fought almost continuously to increase their territory and power. They built a network of castle towns to effectively defend their land. But more effective than castles were the set of rules left by Soun and his son, Ujitsuna, to guide their clan for future generations.

Another aspect of their strength was their ability to affect a relatively smooth transition of power as one generation succeeded the other. Many other contemporary clans often suffered internal conflict over successional disputes. Until their downfall, the Hojo could boast of five generations of undisputed leaders.

Ujitsuna made Odawara the capital of the steadily increasing Hojo domain. In 1533 he actually received official recognition from the Imperial Court as the legitimate lord of that domain. The upstart Hojo clan was now an established clan that older neighboring clans had to reckon with.
After Soun, Ujiyatsu, Soun's grandson, was the clan's most notable leader. His efforts both militarily and politically helped to put the Hojo clan in a strong dominant position. He was a well respected military commander amongst his warlike peers. In 1545, Ujiyatsu fought and won a desperate battle north of Tokyo against an overwhelming force, and he did so at night.
Hojo Ujiyasu, a famed leader of the Hojo who successfully defended Odawara from Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin
Under Ujiyatsu's rule, his capital came under attack by two of the most famous warlords of the Sengoku period: Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen. Both of them besieged Odawara castle eight years apart from each other, and both failed to capture it.

About the Facility
The Community Corrections Center-Omaha is a community-based facility that houses male inmates that are classified as Community A and Community B custody inmates. The facility has 87 beds designated for male inmates assigned to the work detail program and 92 beds available for male inmates participating in the work release program.
Community custody is the lowest custody level and the least restrictive environment. Individuals assigned here participate in "work detail" or "work release."
The first several weeks after arrival are spent on work detail - a job in the community supervised by corrections staff or community staff with specific corrections training. Work detail assignments are generally for NDCS or other state agencies and can include cleaning and road crews, maintenance or administrative office work.
Following a time on work detail, individuals are provided an opportunity to go into the community to look for jobs. Once a job is secured and community corrections staff have been in contact with the employer, individuals can be assigned to work release. Individuals on work release are employed in the community, receive competitive wages and pay applicable taxes. Also available is educational release, where individuals attend local vocational/technical/business/community colleges and universities. Individuals are responsible for their own transportation to and from work and are expected to adhere to a pre-approved schedule are responsible for his/her own clothing and personal items and pay room and board of $12 per day.

ending machines that are located in the commons, lobby and dayroom areas of the facility.
Religious Services: The Community Corrections Center-Omaha and the OCC share the services of the OCC Religious Coordinator. Inmates assigned to the facility may utilize passes up to twenty (20) hours per month to attend worship services of their faith in the local community.
Education: The Community Corrections Center-Omaha and the OCC share the services of a department GED instructor. An instructor is available within the institution to tutor inmates and assists them in preparing to obtain their GED. In addition to ABE/GED assistance, the Community Corrections Center-Omaha manages educational release and part-time educational release programs. Inmates participating in either form of educational release attend courses at local universities, community colleges, and vocational or technical schools.
Volunteer / Sponsor Program: The Department encourages citizen involvement and volunteer programs in all of its correctional institutions and program areas. A citizen involvement and volunteer program can provide helpful services in a wide variety of offender programs. The volunteer / sponsor services program was developed to provide community custody inmates with the opportunity to experience personal growth and make positive progress toward their release through contact and association with individuals and organizations in the community. Volunteer / sponsors can assist offenders by providing a means of expanding activities and services for them. The program utilizes non-paid personnel to support inmate activities in the community by providing transportation for those inmates into the community for the purpose of sponsoring them on:
Personal needs passes
Religious passes
Programming passes
Job seeking passes and
Daytime furloughs
No employee of the department may serve as a sponsor for inmates within the agency without the approval of the director. Rules for the protection of staff, volunteers and the inmate population and the orderly operation of the institutions that have been established will be followed. For additional information view the Community Corrections Center-Omaha sponsor services procedures.
Community Corrections Center-Omaha Sponsor Services Procedures
Debit Card / Money: All inmates assigned to the CCC-O will be issued a prepaid debit card within a few days of their arrival to the facility. The card will be issued in the inmate's committed name and inmate identification number. The inmate debit card will be the primary means for inmates to access approved funds for spending purposes. Inmate funds will be transferred once per week from the inmates' institutional account to the debit card account. The prepaid debit card works similar to a credit card but allows the owner of the card to only spend funds up to the amount available on their card account. The balance will decrease as funds are spent or withdrawn from an automated teller machine (ATM). This card does not have a credit line available. The prepaid debit card has been restricted to certain merchant codes and vendors.

Q: Unix : how to tar only N first files of each folder? I have a folder containing 2Gb of images, with sub-folders several levels deep.
I'd like to archive only N files of each (sub) folder in a tar file. I tried to use find then tail then tar but couldn't manage to get it to work. Here is what I tried (assuming N = 10):
find . | tail -n 10 | tar -czvf backup.tar.gz
… which outputs this error:
Cannot stat: File name too long
What's wrong here? thinking of it - even if it works I think it will tar only the first 10 files of all folders, not the 10 files of each folder.
How can I get N files of each folder? (No file order needed )
A: If your pax supports the -0 option, with zsh:
print -rN dir/**/*(D/e:'reply=($REPLY/*(ND^/[1,10]))':) |
pax -w0 | xz > file.tar.xz
It includes the first 10 non-directory files of each directory in the list sorted by file name. You can choose a different sorting order by adding the om glob qualifier (order by modification time, Om to reverse the order), oL (order by length), non (sort by name but numerically)...
If you don't have the standard pax command, or it doesn't support -0 but you have the GNU tar command, you can do:
print -rN -- dir/**/*(D/e:'reply=($REPLY/*(ND^/[1,10]))':) |
tar --null -T - -cjf file.tar.xz
If you can't use zsh, but have access to bash (the shell of the GNU project), you could do:
find dir -type d -exec bash -O nullglob -O dotglob -c '
for dir do
set -- "$dir/*"; n=0
for file do
if [ ! -d "$file" ] || [ -L "$file" ]; then
printf "%s\0" "$file"
(( n++ < 10 )) || break
fi
done
done' bash {} + | pax -0w | xz > file.tar.xz
That would be significantly less efficient though.
A: Since the output of find is flat, you don't really know which files belong to the same directories without looking at the paths. The alternative is to use multiple finds (one per folder), without having to look at the paths. This is what I did. In order to tar up to a maximum of 10 files of each subfolder, use something like this:
for dir in $(find . -type d); do
find "$dir" -maxdepth 1 -type f -printf "\"%p\"\n" | tail -10
done | xargs tar cvfz backup.tar.gz
This recursively finds all directories in the current folder. For each directory, it finds up to 10 files in exactly that folder (-maxdepth 1). Once the entire loop is finished, the tar command is executed on all files that were output by the loop. I also accounted for directory and folder names with spaces by quoting $dir and having find print each filename within quotes using the -printf option.
A: Suppose your master directory is /tmp/dir from which you want to archive only N (e.g N=10) files of each (sub) folder under it to a backup.tar.gz file.
Example tree for /tmp/dir:
dir/

The intersection of N. Jordan and Duke Street, near the Foxchase shopping center, is closed due to a serious pedestrian crash.
"A pedestrian was struck," said Alexandria Police spokesman Lt. Courtney Ballantine. "It's serious enough that they've called in the reconstruction team."
Ballantine said the person struck was an adult male. On social media, police urged drivers to avoid the area.
NOTIFICATION: North Jordan at Duke Street at is closed due to a serious traffic crash. Please avoid the area and expect police on scene.
— Alexandria Police (@AlexandriaVAPD) February 27, 2020
Via social media, a witness reported that the man was bleeding from the head after being struck.
The incident comes just three days after another pedestrian was struck at Duke Street and Diagonal Road and a month after Alexandria artist Alfredo DaSilva was killed while crossing Duke Street at an intersection not far from today's scene. Earlier this week a driver was charged with a deadly pedestrian crash on Duke Street in November.
A petition to reduce the speed limit on a portion of Duke Street east of Jordan Street from 35 to 25 mph has garnered just over 100 signatures.

A man was struck and injured this afternoon on Duke Street by a driver in a Volkswagen Beetle.
The collision happened shortly before 1 p.m. today at the intersection of Duke Street and Diagonal Road, near the train station and the Motley Fool building.
An adult male victim suffered minor injuries and was transported to Inova Alexandria Hospital, according to police spokesman Lt. Courtney Ballantine. The driver was cited for the crash, Ballantine said.
Photos from the scene show the car stopped in the crosswalk in the intersection. There was no visible damage to the vehicle.
Diagonal Road and a portion of Duke Street was closed for a period of time immediately following the crash.
Duke Street has been the scene of a number of notable pedestrian-involved crashes over the past few months.
Driver Charged in Death of Pedestrian on Duke Street
A grand jury has indicted Kenneth Whitcomb, a 62-year-old Alexandria resident, on a charge of reckless driving following a deadly pedestrian collision last November.
John Charles Thompson, a 75-year old Fairfax resident and retired Army general, was struck on Nov. 16 on Duke Street near the Alexandria Commons shopping center around 7:30 a.m. Police said that Thompson was in a crosswalk at the time of the crash.
"Mr. Thompson was walking across Duke Street when he was struck by a vehicle operated by Mr. Whitcomb," Commonwealth Attorney Bryan Porter said in | -0.730291 | 0.060816 | -0.878591 | -1.183889 | [

a press release. "Mr. Thompson was hospitalized after the crash and succumbed to his injuries."
Porter said reckless driving, a class 1 misdemeanor and the most serious charge that could be lodged in the case, is punishable by up to 12 months in jail and/or a $2500 fine, as well as a license suspension of not more than 6 months. Whitcomb is also charged with failure to yield to a pedestrian, punishable by a fine of not more than $500.
"The driver remained at the scene and cooperated with the investigation, his driver's license was valid, and he was not under the influence of intoxicants," Porter said. "Therefore, the appropriate charge is reckless driving."
Maj. Gen. John Charles Thompson (ret.) was a West Point graduate and a 35-year Army veteran, recognized for valor in Vietnam, according to an obituary.

The incident occurred just before 8 a.m. as DaSilva crossed Duke Street at the intersection of Cameron Station Blvd.
Carpenter's Shelter released the following statement to ALXnow:
Carpenter's Shelter operates a daily shuttle which serves the guests of our Winter Shelter and David's Place programs. We have been informed that — after all guests had been transported on Sunday morning January 26, 2020 — the shuttle vehicle was involved in a serious accident in the City of Alexandria. As of now, we have been given no further details pending the outcome of the investigation currently underway by law enforcement authorities. We are and will continue cooperating fully with law enforcement throughout the duration of the investigation. We are deeply concerned for all involved, and will communicate further details to the Carpenter's Shelter community as soon as they are available.
The driver of the vehicle is a Carpenter's Shelter staff member. The driver called the police, stayed at the scene after the incident and was released without charges.

Getting to Vision Zero: City Waits for Answers on Recent Pedestrian Death on Duke Street

On Thursday morning, William Tate waited for the pedestrian signal before crossing at the intersection of Duke and S. Pickett Street. Traffic wasn't too heavy, but Tate still waited for a few minutes and sipped his coffee until the light told him it was safe.
"The biggest problem I see on Duke Street is that people just cut across on foot wearing dark clothing, and they get clipped," Tate told ALXnow. "Sometimes I'll see people just running across where there aren't crosswalks and drivers don't pay attention. You've got to pay attention."
The wide roadway and long waits for walk signals don't help matters, however.
Four days earlier, on the morning of Sunday, Jan. 26, 89-year-old Alexandria artist Alfredo DaSilva was killed while crossing Duke Street at the intersection with Cameron Station Blvd. Few details regarding the incident are known, and the driver, who called police and stayed at the scene, was interviewed and released. The incident remains under investigation.
There have been three pedestrian fatalities on Duke Street since the fall of 2018, one of which happened this past November. At around 7:30 a.m. on Nov. 16, 2019, John Thompson, a 77-year-old Fairfax County man, was killed crossing Duke Street at Sweeley Street, near the Alexandria Commons Shopping Center. A year before that incident, on Nov. 18, 2018, Nelson Javier Galdamez Reyes, 52, was fatally injured on the ramp from Duke Street to southbound I-395.
Most Alexandria streets are limited to 25 miles per hour, and a new online petition asking for support for a speed reduction to 25 mph, west of Quaker Lane and east of Jordan Street, has received more than 100 signatures.
The city considers Duke Street a "high crash corridor" and is one of the few Alexandria roadways with a speed limit of 35 mph. Last year, the speed limit for a portion of U.S. Route 1 between Four Mile Road and Slater's Lane, which is another high crash corridor, was reduced from 35 mph to 25 mph.
Artist Alfredo DaSilva Killed Sunday While Crossing Duke Street
An 89-year-old Alexandria artist was killed Sunday after being struck by a vehicle while walking across the Duke Street near Cameron Station Blvd.
Police were notified of the incident at 7:52 a.m. Alfredo DaSilva was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash. The driver of the car that struck him stayed at the scene, was interviewed by police and has not been charged.
"Initial investigation indicates Mr. Alfredo DaSilva, a 89-year-old Alexandria city resident, was crossing Duke Street when he was struck by a motor vehicle," Alexandria police said in a statement. Mr. DaSil | -0.034496 | 0.542719 | -0.271954 | -0.706862 | [

« Tucker Carlson on Bill Kristol | Main | Is Islam a Religion of Peace? »
Robert Paul Wolff offers the following:
Hatred has fundamentally very little to do with White Supremacy. White Supremacy is a policy of domination and economic superiority of Whites in a multi-racial society. African-Americans are not worried about whether White people want to be friends. Most of the African-Americans I know have quite enough friends, thank you very much. African-Americans demand legal, economic, and political equality. And that terrifies many Whites, who do not want to give up the superior legal, political, and economic position in American society that they acquired through being born White.
Perhaps Malcolm Pollack will comment on this definition over at his place. He tilts in the alt-right direction; I reject the alt-right.
Here are some preliminary thoughts/questions of my own.
1) If White Supremacy is a policy, who is implementing it? The government? Is the government insuring the economic superiority of Whites? How? By what programs?
2) Blacks have every right to demand legal and political equality, but they cannot reasonably demand economic equality. That is something they have to work for.
3) Whites are in an economically superior position to blacks, no doubt, but one cannot validly infer from this that Blacks have been unjustly discriminated against.
4) It is false that Whites enjoy by birth legal and political privileges denied to Blacks. If you think they do, name the privileges.
5) Suppose a white Southerner considers slavery a grave moral evil and is glad the Union was preserved. He opposes, however, the Left's iconoclasm re: statues of Robert E. Lee, et al. Is this person a White supremacist?
6) If 'white supremacist' is not to be just another smear word like 'racist,' then it has to be defined. How ought it be defined?
7) Suppose Whites as a group are superior to Blacks as a group in some respect R, and suppose Jones points this out. Is Jones a white supremacist with respect to R? This raises the question: How can White Supremacism with respect to R be a bad thing, which it is supposed to be, if it is true?
8) Wolff's decoupling of White Supremacy from hatred suggests that he is thinking of it as something 'institutional' or 'systemic.' Are our institutions white supremacist? What might that even mean given that our institutions allowed for the elimination of slavery and Jim Crow?
Addendum (8/18)
Malcolm Pollack responds, and I agree (red emphasis mine, italics his):
Consider: a generation of identitarian politics across the West has deliberately cultivated tribal resentments among non-whites. For decades white people have been blamed in media and academia for all the world's ills, while aggressive immigration policies have openly sought to make them minorities in every one of their homelands (a prospect that is widely celebrated in our mainstream institutions). In colleges and universities, white applicants are disfavored for admission, while curricula feature pugnacious courses on eliminating "whiteness". At the Academy Awards, a black actor says of his latest film "I get to kill all the white people! How great is that?", and the audience laughs and cheers.
Is it any wonder, then, that in this toxic climate, many white people are developing a sense of identitarianism themselves? This is not "supremacy"; it is nothing more than an perfectly natural (and, therefore, easily predictable) sense of unity and belonging, in an explicitly and increasingly hostile environment. Express this readily understandable sentiment in public, however, and you are now a "white supremacist" — and your sense of identity is not mere attachment, but can only be "hate".
"White supremacist", then, is nothing more than a cudgel, to be used without mercy against anyone who says, however reluctantly, that: yes, we are white, and we are not ashamed of it, and if you are determined to divide all of society into competing racial groups, then our people will have to play the game too. It is a truly awful state of affairs, and it will all get much, much worse before it gets any better. "Diversity is our strength"? Rubbish. As we are already learning to our sorrow, it is anything but: | 0.059327 | -0.200392 | 0.092948 | 0.815915 | [

How to Recover for "Lost Earning Capacity" in Illinois
Illinois law allows a person to recover damages for "lost earning capacity" in a personal injury lawsuit. Lost earning capacity compensates the injured party for income that is reasonably certain to be lost in the future as a result of the accident or other wrongful act.
To help you understand better how to recover for lost earning capacity in Illinois, our Illinois personal injury lawyers discuss, below:
1. The differences between damages for "lost wages" and "lost earning capacity" in Illinois
2. In order to get lost earning capacity, does my injury have to be permenant?
3. How much time can I sue for lost earning in Illinois?
4. What types of income is included in "lost earning capacity"
5. What kind of factors affect the calculation of damages?
6. What if I'm still in school or not yet working?
7. How do I prove lost earning capacity in Illinois?
Illinois law permits injured victims to recover for past and future lost earning and income.
Income that you lost prior to the filing of a lawsuit or the acceptance of a settlement is referred to as "lost wages" in Illinois.
"Lost earning capacity" on the other hand, refers to the loss of the plaintiff's ability to earn money in the future. It is the money the injured person would have been reasonably sure to earn if the injury had not happened.
Lost wages are easier to prove, unlike "lost future capacity" because it is more difficult to prove losses that have not yet happened.
2. In order to get lost earning capacity, does my injury have to be permanent?
No it does not. Lost earning capacity can be awarded if the injury has not yet fully resolved by the date of a settlement or trial.
Generally, this will occur with more serious or permanent injuries such as, traumatic brain injuries that last a very long time.
This also happens if a case is concluded quickly where the outcome of the injuries are not certain.
Most personal injury cases have a two-year statute of limitations in Illinois. With some cases having a shorter limitations period. For example, personal injury claims against a government entity in Illinois usually must be filed within one year.
The statute of limitations begins to run in Illinois as soon as the plaintiff discovers, or should have discovered, an injury.
The plaintiff will lose their right to sue for injuries if they don't file a lawsuit within the applicable statute of limitations.
In some serious personal injury claims, the plaintiff may not have been able to return to work prior to the end of the limitations period.
Lost earning capacity will allow the plaintiff to recover damages that extend beyond the end of the limitations period.
Under Illinois Law, lost earning capacity is calculating the difference between:
What the plaintiff could have earned had he/she not been injured, and
What the plaintiff will end up earning given his or her injuries.
Lost earning capacity can include the following:
Salary,
Commissions,
overtime pay,
Self-employment pay
Bonuses,
401K or profit sharing contributions,
Vacation, personal or sick days, and
Any other lost perks or benefits (such as a car allowance or free meals).
Lost earning capacity in Illinois will be determined by considering the following factors:
The length of time the injury or incapacity is likely to last,
When and if the plaintiff will return to his/her regular job,
The plaintiff's age,
The number of working years before the plaintiff is likely to retire,
The plaintiff's life expectancy,
What the plaintiff earned immediately before the accident,
The health of the plaintiff before the accident,
Whether income was performance based or fixed,
The terms of the plaintiff's employment contract, if any,
Opportunities for promotion in the plaintiff' | -0.611814 | 0.174745 | 0.91469 | 0.110944 | [

Phonological Awareness is the ability to recognize the sounds of words; this is one of the vital skills that students need to acquire for reading and is invaluable for truly picking up a language. This is when kids learn how to work and manipulate the alphabet sounds they have initially studied. Do you remember when you were once taught how to pair up correct rhyming words? If you do, then that was already one of the ways to absorb Phonological Awareness.
Teaching children how to read and comprehend properly is something all parents, teachers and SLPs want for their children. Even in a "normal" class of students though, it is rather common that there are children at different levels: some of whom may appear to naturally able to read and comprehend easily, while others may need quite a bit more time and practice to pick up the skill. The latter challenge has eventually led to the formulation of new unique ways to successfully educate children on how to become successful readers. Amongst these techniques, one of the most important tasks that need to be addressed is helping students develop Phonological Awareness.
Fortunately, after years of technique development for early education, a number of ways to effectually teach Phonological Awareness are now easily and readily available.
What are some strategies used to teach it?
There are a lot of ways to impart Phonological Awareness to our learning children, and here are some of the techniques that are available in the Phonological Awareness Lab app that teachers may follow and improvise for their classes.
In this method, a sentence will be given and the students will be asked to count the number of words in that particular sentence. This way, students must be attentive enough to be able to recognize the individuality of each word that has been vocalized by the instructor. SLPs may want to consider forming easy sentences that are not too long to avoid confusion. Also, the words used in the formulated sentences should already be familiar to the students for an easier grasp.
To be able to learn the essentialities of blending syllables and blending sounds is the goal of this method. Indeed, repetition is the mother of learning because in this scheme, words are repeated slowly until the students eventually recognize the word without uncertainty. Try to prepare as many words as possible with different numbers of syllables to hone the students' skills. Be attentive. Most of the critical mistakes are on the littlest things.
Determining words that rhyme may not always be the easiest for early learners. Therefore, it is important to make the students realize the key aspects of when to consider that a word rhymes with another. One way to teach this to children is to present them with as many sets of words that rhyme as possible. Eventually, this will familiarize the students with rhyming and non-rhyming words. Explore this section because there are a lot of ways of teaching rhyming words to children, which includes simply voicing out a random word for them to pair with something that has the same end sound.
Lastly, introducing the concept of syllables in a word is important. Let children group words with the same number of syllables. Eventually, try to challenge them with long words that has more than 3 syllables and see how they fare.
Phonological Awareness Lab—A very comprehensive app that includes all of the above mentioned techniques, within a funny mad scientist theme.
Syllable Splash—an enchanting ocean themed app that focuses on helping students practice counting syllables.
Profile of Phonological Awareness— if you are sure how an individual or a group of your students are performing on their phonological skills this is an assessment to help you get a better assessment so that you know what to target.
Phonological Awareness Detective: This resource includes open-ended board games to be used with the task cards provided to target phonological awareness skills.
2. Grab and Go Phonological Awareness by Kristine Lamb: This is a set of phonological cards that can be used for on-the-go therapy, centers, RTI, and in-class therapy sessions. There are cards for Phoneme Manipulation, Rhyming, Blending, Segmentation, Phoneme Addition & Deletion, and Phoneme Identification.
3. Robot Phonological Awareness: This TPT packet targets phonological awareness in eight different ways.
Realizing the importance of Phonological Awareness in teaching our little ones is essential. Be imaginative and keep on discovering new techniques in teaching. The list | 0.156916 | -0.094744 | 2.606363 | -0.121229 | [

CROSS COUNTRY: Lady Bulldogs Take Third at Paul Short Run
UGA Cross Country No Comments

The Lady Bulldogs had three finishers in the top 20 and stormed to a third-place finish at the 44th-annual Paul Short Run in Bethlehem, Pa., on Friday morning.
Earlier in the morning, the Georgia men ran the Gold 8k race at the Goodman Campus Course and were 12th as senior Bryan Kamau led the team for the ninth consecutive race bridging the 2016 season.
"Overall this was a great day for Georgia," said Bulldog distance coach Patrick Cunniff. "Our women had one of the best team performances in a major invitational for our program in the last five or 10 years. I thought our top six all posted great performances, which bodes well for the future of this season. I think we ran a smart, tough race and competed well throughout.
NCAA South Regional in Tuscaloosa, Ala., on Nov. 10 and then prepare for the NCAA Championships at Louisville on Nov. 18.
"Even though the men didn't get the team finish we were hoping for, I think we got what we were looking for out of this meet, and that is a lot of guys battling for those four through six spots for us. Our front group didn't have the best day but I think our seniors will be ready to compete when the big meets get here. We are excited moving forward and are looking forward to see how we stack up when Pre-Nationals and the championship season gets here."
The Georgia women, who were 13th at the meet in 2016, had sophomore Jessica Drop be the squad's top finisher for the eighth time in her nine collegiate races. Drop opened the year by winning her first two races and then finished third overall (19:52) in the Gold 6k race on the Lehigh University campus on Friday. She was also third at the 2016 Paul Short Run.
Her twin sister, Sam Drop, finished fifth overall after completing the course in 20:00. Drop, who led the Lady Bulldogs at last year's season-ending NCAA Regional, helped Georgia distance itself from the fourth-place Queen's University (226) as Utah State (72) and Villanova (115) grabbed the top two spots.
The third Georgia woman in the top 20 was junior Hailey Branch. Branch scored for the second meet in a row after registering a time of 20:29 in the 368-woman field. The Lady Bulldogs' final two scorers were junior Grace Tavani (20:45) and sophomore Yanely Gomez (20:51). Tavani has been a Georgia scorer at all three 2017 meets while Gomez has now finished in the top five for UGA in the first and third meets.
Just as he has for the last two seasons, Kamau was first across the finish line for the Bulldog men, taking 30th with a 24:09. Fellow senior Austin Sprague managed a 40th-place finish in the 359-man race after recording a time of 24:17. This matched the first two finishers for the Bulldogs at the 2016 meet. In the team race, Utah State (119), Georgetown (167) and Adams State (179) finished first through third.
Another senior, Eric Westog, further established his place in the scoring column as he took 8 | -0.392838 | -0.08803 | -0.346298 | -1.18649 | [

Smaragdové pobřeží (Côte d'Émeraude) je část francouzského pobřeží v Bretani, které se nachází mezi cap Fréhel a Cancale. Pojmenoval jej tak Eugène Herpin, a to z důvodu smaragdově zelené barvy místního moře.
Města a vesnice
Na Smaragdovém pobřeží se nacházejí tyto města a vesničky (v pořadí z východu na západ):
Ille-et-Vilaine
Cancale
Pointe du Grouin
Île des Landes
Île du Guesclin
Pointe du Meinga
Île Besnard
Havre de Rothéneuf
Pointe de la Varde
Paramé
Saint-Malo
Dinard
Saint-Lunaire
Saint-Briac
Côtes-d'Armor
Lancieux
Ploubalay
Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer
Saint-Cast-le-Guildo
Cap Fréhel
Sables d'Or les Pins
Mezi obce na Smaragdovém pobřeží se vedle výše uvedených řadí i přístav Erquy a lázeňské centrum Pléneuf-Val-André na hranicích pláže v Saint-Brieuc.
V říjnu 1996 tyto obce vytvořily Sdružení obcí na Smaragdovém pobřeží Communauté de communes de la Côte d'Émeraude.
Historie
Oblast ohraničená řekou Rance, kanálem La Manche a proláklinou u Châteauneuf nesla odnepaměti název Clos-Poulet, tedy název, který se odvodil od Pou-Alet z latinského Pagus Aleti (tj. kraj Alet). Přejmenování na Smaragdové pobřeží vzniklo podle modelu Azurové pobřeží (Côte d'Azur) v rámci podpory a rozvoje turistiky.
Krajina
Pobřeží inspirovalo řadu umělců, jako například malíře Léona Hamoneta, který byl v roce 1941 pro svůj výjimečný talent toto pobřeží malebně zachytit jedním novinářem z Ouest-France označen za Sorcier de la Côte d'Émeraude – tedy čaroděje ze Smaragdového pobřeží.
Používání názvu
Název Smaragdové pobřeží je součástí názvů řady publikací a děl:
týdeník La Côte d'Émeraude, vydávaný v Dinardu mezi lety 1898 až 1912, poté jako La Côte d'Émeraude et le Petit Dinardais réunis v roce 1913;
Le Journal de Dinard et de la Côte d'Émeraude, vydávaný mezi lety 1926 a 1929, poté jako Dinard-Côte d'Émeraude mezi lety 1929 a 1940 v Dinardu;
týdeník Le Phare de la Côte d'Émeraude, vydávaný mezi lety 1934 a 1936 v Saint-Malo.

We've been battling inconsistent sleep patterns with The Halfling for about 4 months now. Every now and then she has a brilliant night and you think to yourself, "maybe she's finally turning a corner and her sleep is getting better." Most nights she sleeps solidly for the first 3 and a half hours and then becomes increasingly restless until dawn. But every once in a while, she has a night where you feel like it would be preferable to stowaway on a SpaceX rocket and seek refugee status on Mars.
I know that's probably how my wife felt in the early hours of this morning when I, hitherto asleep in the main bedroom, awoke at 1 am to The Halfling midway through her rendition of the Anvil Chorus from Giuseppe Verdi's 1853 opera, Il trovatore. It always amazes me just how much noise such a tiny person can produce (from both ends, mind you). I am a solid sleeper. I could sleep through a nuclear holocaust, but apparently my daughter's lungs contain more earth-shattering power than Tsar Bomba because she took me out of REM from a whole other part of our home. My wife who was in the nursery with her must have been at her wits end, and if our neighbours didn't hate us before, I'm sure they do now.
I got up several times and stood outside the nursery door, contemplating whether or not I should go in to settle her. I hesitated because I think running to pick her up every time she cries during the night only serves to reinforce her dependency on physical contact to fall asleep. On the other hand, she is more than capable of belting out the song of her people for 4 solid hours, losing her voice in the process, then continuing to warble away for another 4 hours in rasping, dissonant chords.
According to Wikipedia, 'enhanced interrogation techniques' is a euphemism for the U.S. government's program of the systematic torture of detainees by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), with sleep deprivation included as one of the methods used. In other words, the CIA simulates parenthood in order to torture and forcibly extract information from terrorists!
I remember driving to work on my first day after returning from paternity leave and almost taking out an entire section of the Buckinghamshire stretch of the M40 Mortorway during my commute. As challenging as I have found it operating on far less sleep than ideal, I know my wife has it harder. I can't imagine that at any point today while my wife has been at home, that she's had a chance to recoup any of the sleep she missed out on last night, but will have to face doing it all over again tonight.
There are people who will say, "sleep when your baby sleeps", but they obviously have never had kids of their own. And if they do have kids, then it was clearly such a traumatic experience that their brain blocked out the memories of what it was actually like in that first year, otherwise they would know such statements are about as useful as vegan cheese on a pepperoni pizza.
I realised I have, in this one blog post alone, used extra-planetary decampment, forced rendition of terror suspects, state-sanctioned torture and the most powerful explosive device ever detonated to describe night-time at our house. It's really not that bad, I promise. But sometimes in the moment, when you start to lose perspective, it can seem as though it is.
It's that time of night again and my wife has retreated to the main bedroom to try and secure a couple hours of uninterrupted sleep while I hold down the fort. The Halfling finished her bedtime protest a few moments ago… No, wait, I jinxed it. She's wailing like a banshee again so I guess I'll go in a few minutes to reassure her that we didn't actually follow through on the earlier threat to abscond to Mars. I have no idea what tonight will be like, but fingers crossed we can all get a little more sleep than the night previous.
I like my job and I enjoy working at the company I do, but I love being a parent. It's not even close. If it was financially viable, I'd trade in my career in a heartbeat to be a stay-at-home dad. I would probably have to do battle against my | 0.693486 | -0.485102 | -0.632417 | -0.508183 | [

wife, Gladiator style, with the spoils right to becomes the stay-at-home parent going to the victor.
My wife and I recently secured a nursery place for Afia. We've been dithering on a decision for a little while, mainly because we both travel long distances to work and hadn't yet come to a conclusion on whether to select a nursery closer to my office or closer to my hers. As luck would have it, she recently secured a conditional offer for a new job much closer to home and has an interview lined up for another – both only a 12-minute journey door to door. This meant we were able to select a nursery close to where we live.
Most parenting articles about milestones focus on baby's first 'this', or baby's first 'that', but I've begun to realise over the last 7 months that parents have to navigate milestones of their own too and this one, sending my baby off to nursery, just got very real for me very suddenly. Afia has never been anywhere with anyone without either my wife or I or both of us being present. Will she be okay without us? How am I supposed to just ship my child off into the care of strangers from 8am to 5pm, three days per week and not feel anxious about it?
I never thought I'd be that parent. You know, the one who lingers at the classroom door afraid to leave after having already dropped their child off on the first day of school or nursery, but now I think I might be. It seems like such a big step for her so soon, and I don't know how she'll cope with the separation. My wife thinks I'm being the baby and that Afia will be fine – she's probably right.
I guess what I am really afraid of isn't whether Afia will cope with being at nursery, but that when my wife finishes her maternity leave and goes back to work, how precious little time we'll have with our child. The relationships she forms with the adults responsible for her care will influence and shape her developing mind and sense of the world around her. I call it outsourced parenting, though it feels more like parenthood supplanted. I know there is no danger of her becoming confused about who her parents are, but I do find the paradox of childcare disconcerting. The need for us to both work full-time jobs because raising a family on a single wage is unsustainable, but ending up financially less able anyway because the nursery fees will likely exceed our monthly mortgage repayments by more than 30%.
One of my earliest memories as a 4-year-old, is of the sense that my parents had been absent for what felt like weeks. I remember the jubilation I felt at their arrival home from work one day, and immediately telling them about how the babysitter had spilled some talcum powder on the floor, carefully selecting the phrase, "throw away" to describe what was clearly an accident. I won't try to psychoanalyse whether my four-year-old self was subconsciously communicating feelings of abandonment in the words I used that day, because I only remember how much I missed them. The reality is that my parents had only left for work earlier that same day, but our morning and evening interactions were so fleeting they faded into obscurity. Or, at least, they felt so far away in the mind of young child.
We still have at least a couple months yet before Afia is scheduled to start nursery, and we'll spend that time introducing the concept of separation to her infant mind by letting her stay with Nana for an hour or two every now and then. I'm sure she'll be fine when she does eventually go to nursery, but I can't promise my teary face won't be pressed close against the crack of the door for a last glimpse after dropping her off on that first day.
Her dad is usually the first man a woman ever learns to love. At least that's the theory anyway. My daughter however, doesn't give her affections to anyone easily, and 7 months in I'm still working hard for her love. After a marathon 54-hour labour, largely without any pain relief, my wife gave birth to our little girl Afia, via emergency caesarean section. The exhaustion and trauma of the whole thing meant that she was effectively bed-bound for the first few days postpartum, and housebound for the next 5- | 1.194787 | -0.825769 | 0.420123 | -0.461358 | [

6 weeks thereafter. I happily assumed ownership of all the less glorious tasks of caring for a newborn (e.g. nappy changes and night feeds) and maintenance of the household so my wife could focus on her recovery and bonding with our new baby. We also restricted the number of visitors in those first few weeks and requested they either brought a meal with them or donned a pair rubber gloves to scrub the bathroom when they did eventually come to visit.
For me, those early days, especially my two weeks of paid paternity combined with a few annual leave days I had saved up from work were beautiful, but it was over far too quickly. Getting to know my daughter, figuring our her different cries and watching her learn about the world around her was an amazing experience. Going back to work obviously meant we had much less bonding time together, and at 6 weeks old when she rejected the bottle completely, any role I could play in supporting her feeds came to an abrupt end. We then effectively only had about 2 hours of awake time together during the week – the period between when I got home from work and when we put her to bed time. I took ownership of the bath and bedtime routine so we could have some exclusive daddy-daughter time together, but at some point, I really did start to feel as though she was rejecting me too as she did with the bottle before. It's natural for baby to be more attached to their primary caregiver, but I think I just started to become a vaguely familiar figure to her. When I was home on the weekends, Afia would start to warm up to me by the end of the Sunday, but then pretend like she didn't know me by the Tuesday. Fast forward to the present and I think she has definitely developed more of an attachment to me over the past month or so. I'd like to think that my steadily growing repertoire of stupid faces and dad dancing has in some way contributed to making me somewhat memorable during my day-time absences. I tweeted the other day that for the first time, Afia giggled, almost jumped out of mummy's arms and practically flung herself at me when I came home from work. Mummy is still her favourite of course, but operation 'Daddy's Girl' is now well under way! I read yesterday that O2 have announced an extension to their paid paternity leave to 14 weeks, and think it's an amazing and positive step towards encouraging more of a balance for parental leave options. I also wonder how much more of a bond Afia and I might have built if I had the opportunity to stay at home for longer after she was born. Who knows, maybe if we do have another child, extended leave policies for dads will be far more commonplace. In the meantime however, dad dancing will have to do!
I'm not an activist, and I don't have any socio-political agendas here. I'm aware of the connotations a statement like, "dad lives matter" has, so why did I think it an appropriate moniker for my Twitter page (@dadlivesmatter) and the title of this blog post? Let me take a step back and tell you about my own journey into fatherhood because any self-respecting dad blog deserves a decent fatherhood origin story to help kick things off, right?
My wife and I found out we were expecting our first child on Christmas Eve in 2017. It seems so far away now that I write it out loud… The news wasn't wholly unexpected, but it didn't quite sink in for me immediately. I remember feeling very hesitant to talk or think about the pregnancy in definitive terms, almost like I was half-expecting someone to say it was just a joke. Don't get me wrong, I wanted this pregnancy, and I was happy about it. I was just a little afraid to believe it I guess. I'm not sure when it did, but I was fully on the pregnancy train by the time morning sickness was in full swing and my wife was puking multiple times per day.
During my wife's pregnancy, I began to notice just how few products featured images of only dads with their babies. It also struck me for the first time just how much of the imagery used to market baby products feature families that don't look like ours – it's a sobering moment when you realise yours is not the picture of a wholesome family unit.

Derby: A wonderful city in the heart of England
Derby is listed as one of the top ten must-see destinations in the United Kingdom. This East Midlands city is strategically located right in the heart of England, and therefore boasts excellent links with several major British cities, such as London (2.5 hours), Manchester (1.5 hour), Sheffield (1 hour), Nottingham (20 minutes), Cambridge (2 hours), Birmingham (55 minutes), and Liverpool (just under 2 hours).
Derby's privileged location is undoubtedly one of the city's most appealing factors. Derby is a very convenient base to explore some of the UK's top natural landmarks, such as the Peak District National Park or the wild and dramatic Lincolnshire coast. The magnificent Derbyshire countryside extends for miles to the west of the capital city, offering visitors scenic drives through medieval market towns, imposing limestone ravines, and the rolling hills that the English countryside is so well known for. Woodlands, nature reserves, and historic towns are all within driving distance of Derby, a great city that combines the traditional and the contemporary to perfection.
An introduction to Derby's fascinating history
The history of Derby can be traced back to Roman times. It is believed that the city was first settled in year 80 A.D., approximately forty years after the Roman invasion. Initially, Derby was a fortress on the banks of the River Derwent. Three centuries later, the Romans left Britain, abandoning the settlement that would later become Derby.
The old Roman fort remained abandoned for nearly three centuries, until in 873 A.D. Danish settlers founded a new fortress, which was later occupied by the Saxons and which became part of the Kingdom of Mercia. Towards the end of the first century, Derby was established as a trading post with a population of approximately 2,000 people. The city's popularity and size continued to grow as a mint, a hospital, and a busy market were founded.
During the Middle Ages, Derby was a thriving commercial hub where carpenters, leather workers, blacksmiths, bakers, and wool merchants traded their goods. Towards the end of the 17th century, brewing, clock making, and the textile industry were the main sources of income in Derby, and the city played an important role in the expansion of the Industrial Revolution.
Today, Derby is a modern and cosmopolitan city that has managed to preserve its heritage while incorporating all the amenities needed to make your stay comfortable and memorable.

New York Stock Exchange – Why Is Everyone Shouting?
Ah sure, the New York Stock Exchange, at the same time as it's the epicenter of the trading universe, it appears a bit more like an amusement park or a playground would not it? Close your eyes and you may image it, the hustle, the bustle, the screaming investors at the ground, the grown guys sweating thru fits and button up shirts gesticulating like a wild % of children gambling tackle soccer on an open area.
But why, in this modern-day and age, do investors and brokers still act like an indignant mob? Don't we use computer systems for most trades nowadays anyway? Isn't this the information age, a technology dominated by way of sterile, immediate communique? How did this madness start? Why does it still pass on? This article will have a look at and explain the reasons why Wall Street and many different trading pits resemble a revolt after a soccer healthy more so than a meeting of grown commercial enterprise majors trying to amass a fortune for themselves and their customers.
In the primary location, there are a number of buying and selling exchanges and buying and selling pets, from the bond pits in Chicago to the Nikkei in some distance off Japan, but the most well-known buying and selling exchange in the international, beyond a shadow of a doubt, exists on the intersection of Wall Street and Broad Street in Manhattan. The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) had existed when you consider that 1792 while the famed Buttonwood settlement became signed by means of 24 New York brokers and businessmen. Most human beings think about the Dow-Jones Exchange when they consider the stock marketplace. This includes thirty of the largest organizations within the United States, from GE and McDonald's to Walmart.
The precept is straightforward; humans use stockbrokers to buy shares or changes of ownership of an agency (and its profits or losses) in trade for cash. The money is and always has flown across the room at a fast and furious pace, and so has the action, therefore the whole hubbub. Essentially these stocks are "auctioned" off to the highest bidder who is of the same opinion to a purchase price, so each broker is trying to get their bid in and widespread earlier than the rate of a stock rises. This is where the yelling originated, with agents looking to shout their charge and acceptance as loudly as viable in an attempt to drown out and beat the competing agents to the acquisition price that they need. Getting a bid in a cut up second in advance at pennies in line with the stock can imply the difference between tens of millions of greenbacks of earnings on one big inventory purchase, so the immediacy and force used may be understandable when a lot is on the line.
Originally, the tenor of the room was more gentlemanly, as respected businessmen and agents traded shares at an affordable tempo and wealth genuinely moved among rich individuals, from one own family to another. A Rockefeller may purchase a bit of a Ford or a Vanderbilt's interests, understanding that those successful, wealthy men would generate more wealth.
As America grew, though, and the American Dream turned into born, the common folk desired in at the movement. After the Industrial Revolution in America happened in the past due 1800's, a middle elegance emerged, as manufacturing facility workers fought for extra of the corporation pie and ultimately won better wages and operating conditions. The concept that any American should get rich and get wealthy brief took root, and what higher way than through the New York Stock Exchange.
By the 1920's, many Americans have been investing within the inventory market. The New York Stock Exchange was booming. Instant millionaires have been popping up all around the vicinity. There turned into a whole new degree of wealthy Americans with ticker tape machines of their residing rooms giving them instantaneous marketplace rate updates. This is when the screaming and gesticulating started out in earnest, as brokers have been overwhelmed by using consumers, new clients and buy orders. They screamed and hollered and waved their hands to get their orders in first. U . S .'s stance changed into high-quality. The era became referred to as the Roaring Twenties, and its theme tune becomes Blue Skies due to the fact the whole thing becomes | 0.278475 | 0.148333 | -0.174626 | -0.325111 | [

\caption{The left part of the Figure is the factored TDNN based ASR and AASR system architecture. Different connection combinations in this figure form different systems. Retaining connection (a) while discarding others leads to the ASR baseline system; Retaining (a), (b) and (c)(for articulatory modality fusion) produces the TDNN AASR system. The connections (d) and (d)+(e) are used for LHUC speaker adaptive training of ASR and AASR systems. The right part of the Figure shows the Conformer based end-to-end systems. The AASR system uses the acoustic-articulatory concatenation via connection (b).}

Despite the rapid progress of automatic speech recognition (ASR) technologies in the past few decades, accurate recognition of elderly and disordered speech remains a challenging task \cite{yu2018development,xiong2020source,liu2020exploiting,geng2022spectro,ye2021development,deng21d_interspeech,geng2022speaker}. Ageing presents enormous challenges to the health care worldwide. Neurocognitive disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), are often found among older adults \cite{alzheimer20192019} and manifest themselves in speech and language impairments including weakened neuro-motor control in speech production and imprecise articulation \cite{fraser2016linguistic, konig2018fully}. ASR based assistive technology developments tendering for such users' needs play a vital role in not only improving their quality of life and social inclusion, but also facilitating large scale automatic speech based early diagnosis of neurocognitive impairment and preventive care \cite{ferri2005global,vipperla2010ageing,rudzicz2014speech,zhou2016speech,mirheidari2019dementia,ye2021development}
\par
Elderly and disordered speech bring challenges on all fronts to current deep learning based ASR technologies predominantly targeting non-aged, healthy adult users. First, a large mismatch between such data and non-aged, healthy adult voice is often observed. Such difference manifests itself across many fronts including articulatory imprecision, decreased volume and clarity, changes in pitch, increased dysfluencies and slower speaking rate \cite{hixon1964restricted,kent2000dysarthrias}. Second, the co-occurring disabilities, mobility or accessibility limitations often found among elderly and disordered speakers lead to the difficulty in collecting large quantities of such data that are essential for current data intensive ASR system development. In addition, sources of variability commonly found in normal speech including accent or gender, when further compounded with those over age and speech pathology severity, create large diversity among speakers \cite{kodrasi2020spectro,smith1987temporal}.
\par
Human speech production is a process that involves the coordinated movements of various articulators such as the tongue, lips, teeth and palate. Articulatory movement features are inherently invariant to extrinsic acoustic distortion, for example, environmental noise. They have been successfully applied to normal \cite{zlokarnik1995adding,wrench2000continuous,kirchhoff2002combining,mitra2017hybrid} and pathological speech \cite{rudzicz2010articulatory, gonz | 0.281128 | -0.070123 | 0.85382 | 1.268553 | [

alez2017direct, xiong2018deep, yilmaz2019articulatory} recognition.
\par
In practice, recording detailed articulatory movements and vocal tract shape normally requires the use of intrusive electromagnetic articulography (EMA) \cite{engwall2000static} or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) \cite{narayanan2014real} techniques. Compared to EMA and MRI, ultrasound tongue imaging (UTI) \cite{stone2005guide, ribeiro2019speaker,sugden2019systematic,cleland2019enabling,wilson2006ultrasound} is more portable, less non-invasive and costly. UTI uses B-mode diagnostic ultrasound to visualize the tongue surface movements during speech production at a high frame rate \cite{ribeiro2021tal}. However, there are currently very few publicly available corpora of ultrasound tongue images, all of which were designed for the English language and of limited size~\cite{cai2011recognition, eshky2019ultrasuite, ribeiro2021tal}.
By far the largest Tongue and Lips corpus (TaL) \cite{ribeiro2021tal} contains 24 hours of parallel ultrasound, video, and audio data collected from 81 native speakers of English. The practical and wider use of UTI based articulatory features in ASR systems for both normal and atypical speech task domains, and across languages, is hindered by the scarcity of such specialist data.
\par
An alternative and general approach to obtain articulatory information is to estimate it from the more accessible acoustic speech signals using data driven artificial neural network based acoustic-to-articulatory (A2A) inversion techniques \cite{papcun1992inferring, uria2012deep, xie2018investigation, maharana2021acoustic}. As the A2A inversion model training only requires a part of training materials containing parallel acoustic-articulatory data, the resulting inversion model can be used to produce articulatory features when only audio recordings are available. A wider and more practical application of articulatory features in ASR systems becomes possible. Prior researches on A2A inversion were conducted predominantly on normal speech task domains \cite{papcun1992inferring, uria2012deep, xie2018investigation} and most of them used EMA based articulatory features. In contrast, very limited researches were carried out on A2A inversion for UTI based articulatory features \cite{porras2019dnn}.
\par
In order to address the issues mentioned above, this paper presents a cross-domain and cross-lingual A2A inversion approach that utilizes the parallel acoustic-articulatory data of the 24-hour TaL corpus \cite{ribeiro2021tal} in A2A model pre-training before being cross-domain and cross-lingual adapted to three datasets across two languages: the English DementiaBank Pitt \cite{becker1994natural} and the Cantonese JCCOCC MoCA \cite{xuspeaker} elderly speech corpora; and the English TORGO \cite{rudzicz2012torgo} dysarthric speech data to produce UTI articulatory features. BLSTM based deep neural network A2A inversion models were used. A cross-domain adaptation network was used to reduce the acoustic mismatch between the TaL corpus \cite{ribeiro2021tal} and the target elderly and disordered speech task domains. Experiments conducted on three tasks suggested incorporating the generated articulatory features consistently outperformed the baseline hybrid TDNN \cite{peddinti2015time} and E2E Conformer \cite{gulati2020conformer} systems constructed using acoustic features only.
\par
The main contributions are summarized below. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first use of audio, visual and ultrasound tongue imaging parallel recordings trained A2A inversion models for UTI articulatory features generation targeting elderly speech recognition.

contrast, prior researches on using UTI features were conducted mainly in the context of non-aged adult or child speech recognition \cite{hueber2010development,ji2018updating,ribeiro2021tal,ribeiro2019ultrasound}.
In addition, this work is also the first use of cross-lingual and cross-domain UTI based articulatory features to develop elderly and disordered speech recognition systems. On all three tasks across both the English and Cantonese languages, significant WER or CER reduction was obtained over the acoustic features only baseline systems after speed perturbation plus SpecAugment based data augmentation and learning hidden unit contributions (LHUC) \cite{swietojanski2016learning} speaker adaptation were applied. A further analysis over the phonetic discrimination brought by UTI articulatory features via T-SNE \cite{van2008visualizing} visualization is also given.

\section{ARTICULATORY FEATURE BASED SPEECH RECOGNITION}
\vspace{-0.1cm}
This section describes the time delay neural network (TDNN) \cite{peddinti2015time} or E2E Conformer \cite{gulati2020conformer} based ASR and acoustic-articulatory feature based speech recognition (AASR) system architecture on elderly and disordered corpora.
Both of the baseline hybrid TDNN ASR and AASR systems share the same main structure based on a 7-layer or 14-layer factorized TDNN (TDNN-F) model with a semi-orthogonal constraint and they were trained using the sequence discriminative lattice-free MMI (LF-MMI) criterion (see the left part of Figure 1). The TDNN-F hidden layers positioned after LDA projection are shown in the red dotted box in Figure 1. The AASR system is produced by adding an ultrasound tongue imaging (UTI) subnet using connections (b) and (c). The output of the UTI subnet is then added to the 160-dimension factorized hidden layer.
To model the large variability among elderly and disordered speakers, learning hidden unit contributions (LHUC) \cite{swietojanski2016learning} based speaker adaptive training (SAT) was used. Speaker-level LHUC scaling factors (in red) are applied to the main TDNN-F architecture via connection (d) and UTI component via connection (e) respectively in Figure 1 (left).
\par
E2E Conformer ASR and AASR system architectures are shown in the right part of Figure 1, where the details of Conformer blocks are shown in the red dotted box. UTI articulatory features are incorporated at the input layer by connection (b).

\section{ACOUSTIC-TO-ARTICULATORY INVERSION}
\vspace{-0.1cm}
\subsection{In-domain A2A Inversion}
\vspace{-0.2cm}
The objective of acoustic-to-articulatory inversion is to learn the mapping between acoustic and UTI based articulatory feature representations. To this end, a suitable inversion model is required. In previous research, state-of-art A2A performance was achieved using long short term memory (LSTM) networks \cite{xie2018investigation,liu2015deep}. In this paper, the out-of-domain non-aged normal speech of the TaL dataset \cite{ribeiro2021tal} accompanied with parallel ultrasound, video data collected from 81 native speakers of English was used to construct BLSTM based A2A inversion model. The efficacy of the A2A inversion model is evaluated by measuring the performance of the resulting AASR systems built using either the ground truth, original UTI features, or those generated using A2A inversion. The generated articulatory features were used in both AASR system training and evaluation stages.

The experimental results in Table 1 demonstrated that: 1) Using either the ground truth or inverted UTI based articulatory features produced performance improvements over the ASR system; 2) the AASR system using the A2A inverted articulatory features had comparable WER performance compared to that using original articulatory features.

\subsection{Cross-domain and corss-lingual A2A Inversion}
\vspace{-0.2cm}
Due to the acoustic domain and language mismatch, a direct cross-domain and cross-lingual application of the A2A inversion model trained on a normal, non-aged acoustic-articulatory parallel data to the elderly and disordered speech is problematic, as was shown in the previous researches on cross-domain audio-visual inversion \cite{liu2020exploiting} and A2A inversion \cite{hu2022arti}. To this end, the large acoustic domain and language mismatch are minimized using multi-level adaptive networks (MLAN) \cite{bell2012transcription, liu2020exploiting,liu2021recent,hu2022arti} before A2A inversion can be performed.
\par
The MLAN training process includes the following steps: 1) the first level DNN was trained with the data from the in-domain English or Cantonese language specific elderly or disordered speech; 2) the resulting in-domain speech trained DNN was then used to produce bottleneck features for the out-of-domain data of the English TaL audio; 3) the second level DNN was trained using the out-of-domain TaL audio data concatenated with the bottleneck features computed from the previous step. The combined effect produced by these two cascaded component DNNs is such that, when feedforwarding the elderly or dysarthric data of a target language into the resulting MLAN network, the final bottleneck features produced at the second-level DNN component will exhibit smaller mismatch against those obtained by feedforwarding the English TaL acoustic data into the MLAN network. The resulting cross-domain and cross-lingual adapted bottleneck features are used in A2A inversion model training and articulatory feature generation for elderly or disordered audio data of English or Cantonese. Further description of the cross-domain MLAN model is in \cite{bell2012transcription, liu2021recent,hu2022arti}.

\subsection{Experiments on elderly speech}
\vspace{-0.2cm}
\noindent
\textit{1) the DementiaBank Pitt corpus:} The DementiaBank Pitt \cite{becker1994natural} corpus contains about 33-hour audio recorded over interviews between the 292 elderly participants and clinical investigators. It is further split into a 27.2-hour training set, a 4.8-hour development set and a 1.1-hour evaluation set for ASR system development. After silence stripping \cite{yu2018development}, the training set contains 15.7 hours of audio data (29682 utterances) while the development and evaluation sets contain 2.5 hours (5103 utterances) and 0.6 hours (928 utterances) of audio respectively. After a combination of speaker independent of elderly speech and dependent speed perturbation \cite{geng2020investigation} of non-aged investigators' speech based data augmentation, the duration of training data was increased to 58.9 hours (112830 utterances).
\par
\noindent \textit{2) the JCCOCC MoCA Corpus}: The Cantonese JCCOCC MoCA corpus \cite{xuspeaker} is based on speech recordings of cognitive impairment assessment interviews between 256 elderly participants and clinical investigators. After removal of excessive silence, the training set contains 32.1 hours of speech (95448 utterances) while the development and evaluation sets contain 3.5 hours (13675 utterances) and 3.4 hours (13414 utterances) of speech respectively. Data augmentation similar to those adopted on the DementiaBank Pitt corpus produced a 156.9 hours augmented training set (389409 utterances).
\par
\noindent \textit{3) Experiment Setup for the DementiaBank Pitt Corpus and the JCCOCC MoCA Corpus:} In our experiments, the 14-layer LF-MMI based TDNN-F models as shown in Figure 1 were implemented using the Kaldi toolkit \cite{povey2011kaldi} while Conformer based end-to-end systems\footnote{12 encoder+12 decoder layers, feed-forward layer dim=2048, attention heads=4, attention heads dim=256, CTC+AED cost.} were implemented using the Espnet toolkit \cite{watanabe2018espnet}. A 3-frame context window was used in both ASR and AAS | -0.505665 | 0.26562 | 0.110384 | 1.070849 | [

R hybrid LF-MMI trained TDNN systems. 40-dimension Mel-scale filter banks (FBKs) were used as the input acoustic features. The 144-dimension A2A generated UTI based articulatory features were produced by the approach described in section 3.2. For both the hybrid phonetic TDNN and E2E graphemic (character) Conformer systems, a word level 4-gram LM was used in recognition.
\par
\noindent \textit{4) Performance Analysis:} Domain adaptation is essential in transferring articulatory features from non-aged TaL speech to elderly corpora (Sys. 3 vs. 2). After incorporating the cross domain and cross lingual inverted UTI based articulatory features obtained on the DementiaBank Pitt or the JCCOCC MoCA audio data, the resulting AASR systems shown in Table 2 consistently outperformed the comparable baseline ASR systems using acoustic features only by a significant margin in WER or CER (Sys. 3 vs. 1; Sys. 5 vs. 4; Sys. 7 vs. 6; Sys. 10 vs. 9) before and after data augmentation and LHUC speaker adaptation were applied
. In particular, significant WER reductions of 2.39\%-2.43\% were obtained on the elderly participants of the development and evaluation sets of the DementiaBank Pitt corpus after data augmentation and LHUC adaptation of TDNNs (Sys. 7 vs. 6). Similar consistent improvement of 0.56\%-1.36\% on the JCCOCC MoCA corpus could be obtained (Sys. 7 vs. 6).
\par
Further investigation on the alternative forms of acoustic-articulatory modality fusion suggested that for both TDNN-F and Conformer based AASR systems, incorporating UTI based articulatory features via ``score A+AA'' (log-likelihood score interpolation between ASR and AASR systems), produced further performance improvements over hidden layer feature fusion (Sys. 8 vs. 7, 11 vs. 10). Using score fusion, overall WER and CER reductions of 2.64\% and 1.92\% over the baseline ASR systems were obtained (Sys. 8 vs. 6) on the DementiaBank Pitt and the JCCOCC MoCA corpora respectively.
\par
Further ablation studies suggested that the best TDNN-F hidden layer to fuse the cross-domain and cross-lingual inverted UTI features vary across the English DementiaBank Pitt and the Cantonese JCCOCC MoCA data (7th vs. 3rd hidden layer). This may be attributed to the fact that the lower positioned TDNN-F layers model acoustic variability while the higher ones are more related to language specific phonetic targets.

\subsection{Experiments on disordered speech}
\vspace{-0.1cm}
\noindent \textit{1) the TORGO Corpus:} The TORGO dataset is a disordered speech corpus with 8 dysarthric and 7 control speakers. In this paper, 13.49-hour audio data was used and the total number of speech utterances is 16394. All 7 control speakers' data together with two thirds of the 8 dysarthric speakers' data were merged into the training set (11.7 hours) while the remaining dysarthric speech served as the test data (1.79 hours). After silence stripping, the training set contains 6.46 hours of data while the test set has 1.02 hours of speech. After a combination of disordered speaker independent and dependent speed perturbation \cite{geng2020investigation} based data augmentation, the total amount of training data was increased to 34.11 hours in total.
\par
\noindent \textit{2) Experiment Setup for the TORGO Corpus:} The hybrid LF-MMI trained TDNN-F ASR system contained 7 hidden layers, while the Conformer models\footnote{8 encoder+4 decoder layers, feed-forward layer dim=1024, attention heads=4, attention heads dim=256, CTC+AED cost.} was trained | -0.171806 | 0.373057 | 0.59766 | 1.799233 | [

to directly model grapheme (letter) sequence outputs. A 3-frame context window was used in both ASR and AASR hybrid TDNN-F systems. 40-dimension Mel-scale filter banks (FBKs) and 144-dimension UTI based features were used as the input acoustic and articulatory features respectively. A 3-gram LM trained by all the TORGO transcripts was used in decoding.
\par
\noindent \textit{3) Performance Analysis: } Several trends similar to those found on the two elderly speech tasks can be observed. Compared with ASR systems, a significant overall WER reduction of 1.02\% absolute (11.20\% relative) can be obtained after data augmentation and speaker adaptation (Sys. 7 vs. 6). The AASR Conformer outperformed the comparable ASR baseline significantly by 1.19\% absolute (8.67\% relative) (Sys. 10 vs. 9).

\subsection{T-SNE visualization}
\vspace{-0.2cm}
A further analysis over the phonetic discrimination brought by 144-dimension original, or cross-domain and cross-lingual generated UTI articulatory features via t-distributed stochastic neighbour embedding (t-SNE) \cite{van2008visualizing} visualization is shown in the Figure 2 across four datasets.
As expected, the UTI articulatory features produced clear phonetic discrimination between example phonemes /\i/ and /\textopeno/ on the TaL test set. Similar strong phonetic discrimination obtained using the cross-domain and cross-lingual generated UTI features can also be found in Figure 2 (b), (c) and (d) for the same pair of phonemes on the English DementiaBank Pitt, the Cantonese JCCOCC MoCA\footnote{UTI features were computed from tonal Cantonese phonemes with identical base phoneme but different tones were averaged.} and the English TORGO test data.

Biohort starts the New Year with a 'big bang' and new innovations.
WORLDWIDE INNOVATION the Ground Screw Foundation: a modern, concrete free solution for uneven ground surfaces with incline of up to 10% • No concrete, no dirt, no unnecessary delays • optimum level adjustment and secure against storms.
MINIGARAGE: Multi-purpose space saver with no planning approval required. Ideal for bicycles, gardening equipment and much more. With a height of only 145 cm the Minigarage does not require planning approval.
Our continuing increase in turnover finally demanded a new production and storage location. As the space available at our headquarters at Neufelden had been fully used, a new 4 hectare plot of land was purchased in a neighbouring village. In the first phase of our production expansion a new 11.000m² facility with modern production hall and high-bay warehouse will be erected by the summer of 2017. The complete investment will cost ca. € 20 Mio. The planned completion of this expansion is the end of 2018. Our headquarters will remain in Neufelden.
We start the new garden season with a lot of innovations: The new trend colour metallic quartz grey and new sizes for the Equipment Locker and the HighBoard, an upgrading of the garden shed AvantGarde with stainless steel door handle and standard cylinder and with the inclusion of new, innovative accessories: the suspension basket and hook-set.
A re-launch of our website www.biohort.com took place at the end of July. With numerous new features and integrated on-line shop, the new design focuses firmly on the future.
In 2016 Biohort was once more recipent of awards: Location-Corona, Mühlviertler Business Award and the TYPO3-Award.
Our business year 2016 ended on a very successful high-note. We increased our sales volume by over 16% to € 47,5 Mio. Biohort now employs over 210 personnel.
The Federal President of Austria Dr. Heinz Fischer confers the honorary title "Councillor of Commerce" to CEO Josef Priglinger by decree. With this, he honors Mr Priglinger's managerial performance. The certificates was presented in a ceremonial act by the President of the Upper Austrian Economic Chamber, Rudolf Trauner. The new Biohort-Online Shop is online. This makes shopping of Biohort-products much easier! In springtime, Biohort starts the building of a new hall for cold storage with a capacity of 5.000m². On the "Biohort-open day" on the 6th of September 2015, the new building was opened ceremoniously with Dr. Josef Priglinger and the governor of Upper Austria, Dr. Josef Pühringer. More than 2,000 guests took the opportunity and participated in factory tours. The business year 2015 was again very successful for the Biohort GmbH. Biohort could increase the turnover by 29% EUR 41 Mio. Biohort employs more than 200 employees.
The garden shed HighLine® is now available in the new noble colour white, whichs boosts the sales figures. The favourite LeisureTime Box is expanded by the new size 160HIGH and presents itself as the ideal solution for storing big lounge cushions. At the garden fair GAFA in Cologne, Biohort presents its product novelties: The HighBoard and the LoungeBox® are the responses to the increasing demand for storage solutions for cushions, outdoor kitchens incl. equipment, garden equipment etc. Local business award - category "Youth and Professionals". Biohort moves on on his way of expansion and develops more countries in Northern Europe.
Biohort starts with a modernisation of its marketing presence and a "fireworks" of innovations into the new year.

The bright halls with an underfloor heating system afford our employees the best conditions for a high-quality and productive work.
In January, the former property of the Vogt Electronics Company, in neighbouring Niederwaldkirchen, Austria is acquired. As well as offering 6,000 m² of warehouse and office space, there are also 15,000 m² of undeveloped business premises available for future expansion. The Biohort sister company, Ascendor Lift Technology moves into the premises in September after renovations are completed. The Garden Shed "AvantGarde®" wins the coveted "red dot" Product Design award and Biohort receives a 4th Place in the "Pegasus" Business Awards. New products are the Garden Shed "Europa" in metallic silver and the "StoreMax" in metallic dark grey and metallic silver. The new insulated Annexe "CasaNova" also helps boost the sale of all storage solutions, resulting in a 30% increase in sales by June and requiring maximum production performance from the workers in the factory. A nationwide network of sales representatives is established in Spain and Italy and thanks to major listings; sales are going well in these export markets. 2nd place "TRIO of the year" 2011 – category trade of the famous Austrian economy magazine "Trend".

The popular "LeisureTime Box" in a technically and visually enhanced version with flat lid is brought onto the market. The Garden Shed "Europa" in the new colour scheme of metallic dark grey also records strong sales results. The first design-insulated outbuilding "CasaNova" is presented to the trade in autumn 2010 at the International Trade Fair "GAFA" in Cologne and immediately earns admiring glances. The screw-free exterior walls and a skylight made of acrylic glass running around the whole upper wall create a stunning impression. The "CasaNova" is constructed from insulated sandwich panels with 40mm polystyrene core and is capable of withstanding a snow load of 215kg/m².

Biohort expands its distribution network: more than 30 self-employed sales agents work for Biohort incl. France, the Netherlands and Denmark. The sister company Ascendor Lifttechnik is founded and manufactures high-quality and design-orientated platform-stair lifts (www.Ascendor.at).
The model "AvantGarde®" is offered for retail in 2 sizes and within the same year becomes Biohort's best-seller. The sales figures for our other products also rise to record levels, enabling the company to present a 36% increase in sales figures. As a result of this success we recruit new personnel to assist us in the areas of production and administration.
The new Garden Shed "AvantGarde®" is the first metal Garden Shed to justify the claim to be regarded as modern architecture! In its metallic silver colour this model is perfectly in step with modern trends. At the Spoga 2005 this elegant design from Biohort was presented to trade visitors for the first time.
The new garden railing system "Leonardo" is presented to the trade public at the GAFA 2004 and meets with an enthusiastic response. "Leonardo" is the first metal lattice railing system, which combines uncomplicated and simple self-installation with all the advantages of an aluminium construction. With this new business area "railing system" BIOHORT is now looking to attract trade custom from the building material sector. Furthermore the "StoreMax® 120" specially designed to take 2 dustbins – and the "Equipment Locker" in dark green are introduced to extend the BIOHORT product range.
The Rollup Unibox 180" is replaced by the new "StoreMax® 190".

To ensure that future expansion requirements are guaranteed, "Hall 4" with a production space of 1.350 m² is purchased.
The export sales of the "StoreMax® 160" are a total success. At the "IHM 2002" in Munich an attractive enclosure for dustbins, the "CoverBox" is presented to a receptive public. Thanks to participation at Trade Fairs in Cologne, Birmingham, Paris and Munich, BIOHORT succeeds in introducing its products into additional sales markets. The company name BIOHORT is now becoming well known throughout Europe and is a byword in trade circles for "high quality storage solutions made out of metal".
The Garden Shed "Europa" previously available in dark brown is now offered in a modern quartz-grey standard colour. The new storage concept "StoreMax® 160" is introduced in spring to an enthusiastic reception. At its presentation at the "GAFA 2001" in Cologne, the "StoreMax® 160" rapidly becomes a 'box-office success' for the company.

Young Fathers | White Men are Black Men Too
Ian Lovdahl
What is the old aphorism about judging a piece of work by its cover? Mostly attributed to books, music is often discriminated against due to jacket art, the genre, or even the album title.
Dear listener, if the subversive sentiments contained within the Scottish hip hop trio Young Fathers' album title make you avoid the record, you seriously need to expand your comfort zone. Yes, contemporary social issues inform American listeners that the following album may contain some uncomfortable subject matters, but ignoring media that makes one squeamish effectively keeps the person in their insular bubble. Pop the bubble, absorb the diverse experiences of outsider groups, and start with White Men are Black Men Too.
[su_pullquote]"Pop the bubble, absorb the diverse experiences of outsider groups, and start with White Men are Black Men Too."[/su_pullquote]Young Fathers' lo-fi modus operandi emerges on the first track, "Still Running", a bass-led alternative hip hop romp. The instrumentation actually simulates the act of running, with swift drum and piano percussion and upbeat lyricism. Self-produced and edited, Young Fathers overturn not only the sound of their previous release, Dead, but also the genre of alternative hip hop itself. Whether one is listening to the underground experimentation of Death Grips or Tyler, The Creator's quirky flow, the overarching 'alternative' label looms inconspicuously.
Young Fathers technically fall under this genre umbrella, but instead of employing aspects of irreverence and insanity, they bring soul and R&B to the table. Nitpicking further, musicologists will often staple the hipster soul genre of PBR&B to White Men are Black Men Too, but like any unorthodox band, labeling is quite difficult.
[su_pullquote align="right"]"…with some songs never breaking the three minute mark; therefore, it is easy to find oneself revisiting the album often, perhaps even with back-to-back listens."[/su_pullquote]All three members of the band contribute vocals in their own unique Scottish accents, which sometimes sounds enticingly like an acid house redux of The Proclaimers. As evident on the second song, "Shame", each individual bandmate provides a special inflection on the subject matter. The first verse features blues-tinged enunciations over fuzzy bass and electric guitar, whereas the next verse repeats the same lyrics, but with a more abrasive vocal style. This spoken change of mood allows Young Fathers to manipulate their narrative dynamic on the fly, disseminating themes of struggle, youth, humor, and rebellion effectively in select songs. Tracks like "Sirens" and "27" have the band soulfully crooning over floating electronica, and then flipping the script within seconds to portray an underlying sadness and anger. These emotions permeate each track on the album and certainly require multiple listens to fully comprehend.
White Men are Black Men Too runs at a fun-size 38 minutes, with some songs never breaking the three minute mark; therefore, it is easy to find oneself revisiting the album often, perhaps even with back-to-back listens.
Young Fathers know how to write catchy tunes, and of the 12 tracks on White Men are Black Men Too, numerous foot-tapping and danceable selections are peppered throughout. The trouble with the band's brisk album is the noticeable low points within songs. Young Fathers' lo-fi aesthetic works very well, even though it does not always add much in terms of sonic diversity; however, musical phrases within certain tracks lack appeal entirely. Even though the vocals do much of the symbolic heavy lifting, the chorus of "Sirens, sirens, sirens" on the eponymous track is obnoxious and some of the themes of disenfranchisement on "Old Rock n Roll" sound forced.
[su_pullquote]"Aurally diverting from their debut album's unique delivery, Young Fathers shuffle into funkier lo-fi territories."[/su_pullquote]In terms of replayability, the track "Feasting" can be disregarded entirely, which languidly obstructs the smooth transition between the sublime "Shame" and " | 1.575557 | -0.101683 | -0.182551 | -0.233738 | [

Corporate Misconduct and Manager Visits
By Jonas Heese and Gerardo Pérez-Cavazos
Regulators and business alike continue to struggle with corporate misconduct, which makes it a big issue for society.
In our quest to understand the determinants of corporate misconduct, we conducted a study to examine whether management's visits to facilities affect misconduct rates (see "When the Boss Comes to Town: The Effects of Headquarters' Visits on Facility-Level Misconduct," The Accounting Review, November 2020).
Because shadowing managers across the country for their inspections is difficult, we studied how facility-level misconduct changes after the flight from company headquarters to facilities shrinks by at least two hours one way. Shorter flight times mean that it's less costly to visit a given facility and are our measure of visits. The average business in our sample records 23.4% fewer penalties for violations, most of which are for workplace safety and environmental issues, and the average company stands to collect 7.9% more net profit. Our results highlight the importance of in-person visits by headquarters' managers to reduce misconduct within an organization.
Little was known about how management's visits to facilities affect misconduct rates. On one hand, visits from headquarters' managers can facilitate monitoring, help identify potential violations, and improve compliance. On the other hand, visits could increase pressure and incentives to cut corners. For example, Jack Welch was known for making surprise visits to General Electric's facilities and for implementing a policy whereby the lowest-performing 10% of staff were fired. Local GE managers felt the policies put undue emphasis on short-term results, and critics questioned if they contributed to some of the scandals GE experienced at the time.
TRACKING VIOLATIONS
In our study, we searched for data on violations that had occurred at facilities for the period 2000 to 2017 inclusive. Facilities include regional offices, manufacturing or power plants, stores, distribution centers, refineries, mines, shipyards, and so on. Using the Violation Tracker data set constructed by Good Jobs First, we learned the geographical location of facilities that recorded violations and the penalties that more than 44 federal agencies had issued to these facilities.
During our study period, workplace safety or health issues accounted for 73.5% of violations, but just 12% of the penalties by dollar value. Environmental violations were 10.1% of the total, but led to 59.2% of the penalties. One can see environmental misconduct hits the bottom line for companies.
BIG DOLLARS ARE AT STAKE
Our sample focused on 1,165 companies that had a total of 21,268 violations. The average company had one violation recorded per year, with a mean penalty of $128,925. Yet only 2.5% of all facilities had one violation recorded against them that racked up a total of $2.43 million in penalties. Among them were 80% of Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies.
We analyzed two samples: those facilities at risk of violations and the full sample. The at-risk sample included only those facilities that recorded at least one violation during the sample period (10,556 facilities). The full sample included 423,599 facilities. As expected, the vast majority of facilities don't engage in violations. To enrich the analysis, we also added:
Facility characteristics: number of employees and annual sales;
Company characteristics: size, leverage, and return on assets; and
Local economic characteristics: labor force and unemployment rate.
We then needed to add another layer—how long were the flight times between each facility and its respective headquarters? Did they become shorter at any point over the 18-year study period?
A QUESTION OF TRAVEL
We had hypothesized that executives from headquarters are more inclined to travel if there's a direct flight from near their headquarters' location to their facilities. We brought in U.S. flight routes data from the Department of Transportation, which gave us the number of flights for each airline by routes, total passenger numbers, as well as the ramp-to-ramp time.

Here are four ways of looking at Paul Martin as the Alan Alda of Republicans.
First, he is married with five children ages 16, 17, 18, 19, and 22. Just imagine that.
Second, he has an undergraduate degree and a graduate degree in Philosophical Ethics.
Third, he is a former pastor, and founder of an organization called the Christian Muslim Alliance, whose vision is to end the division between the two largest religions in the world.
Every once in a while on our year-long tour of America's Congressional districts we meet a Republican we really like. This one also cooks, so he has earned himself a Midpod blog post.
Martin is running for U.S. House of Representatives in California's 48th Congressional District. Dana Rohrabacher is the incumbent. Scott Baugh is the other Republican running. For more details there, listen to episode 30 of the MidPod. The ballot situation is crazy.
We interviewed Martin in an Orange County co-working space. He told us he's been a Republican since he voted for Ronald Reagan in 1983, and has never swerved, but in 2016 he wrote-in John Kasich. Martin describes himself as a raging centrist.
He's sad for his party, sad that the Democrats seem to have cornered the market on virtue, sad that there seems to be no place in the Republican Party for candidates who care about immigrants, racism, the environment and gun control. Moms Demand Action distinguished him for his NO #NRA MONEY candidate pledge.
Martin says he's a Republican pressed from the Nelson Rockefeller, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and John Kasich molds, fiscal conservatives who actually care about the environment and people.
The good news is that there are more Republicans like Martin.
Mostly, Martin is laser-focused on Russian interference in the U.S. election, so much that he attended PutinCon in March, a day long, live-streamed seminar sponsored by Human Rights Foundation, with international experts addressing the Russian president's threat to American and global security. PutinCon needed to be held in an undisclosed location because so many people attending are on Putin's hit list, including the chess champion and pro-democracy leader Garry Kasparov and major supporter of the Magnitsky Act, Bill Browder.
And he cooks. I told you. He's even better than Alan Alda.
As I was writing this, Martin was preparing for a weekend fundraiser Mediterranean meal. Martin says he learned to cook from his Umbrian immigrant mother, who never measured. He offered us this recipe adapted from his mother's collection.
Martin's notes: Never use a non-stick pan; deglazing is very important to the flavor of this one. Purchase the best ingredients you can afford. It matters. I never use boneless skinless chicken, because the flavor isn't as good. You can remove the skin and bones after you have cooked the chicken if you have time.
1 pound fettuccine or broad noodles.
Bring large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon salt. Prepare pasta as you would.
Salt and pepper the chicken on both sides.
Bring a large skillet to medium-high heat. Add oil and heat. Lay chicken breasts into the pan carefully, and cook for approximately 5 minutes on each side, or until they are well browned.
Add the onions and garlic to the pan, and lower heat to medium. Cook, pushing everything gently around in the pan, or 3 minutes or until the onions begin to let off liquid and appear golden. Raise heat again to high, and add sundried tomatoes and mushrooms. Cook for 5 more minutes, or until things really begin to brown. Watch carefully.
Add the red wine. Lower heat to medium. Stirring to deglaze, cook for 5 more minutes. Add the yellow pepper, and continue to cook and toss for 3-5 more minutes. The dish should not be soupy, but thick and well browned.
Remove the chicken breasts, and slice them into ½" pieces. Return to the sauce, and heat just to warm and toss the pieces together. Serve chicken and sauce over pasta. | 0.642808 | 0.595095 | 0.081535 | -0.490623 | [

Medical Records announce U/V Light and 5 year anniversary 2LP
Hello, we are excited to start preorders and announce two very exciting releases for june. The first one is U/V Light and the other is our 5 year anniversary 2LP!
MR-046 U/V Light "Cenotaph" LP
MR-050 V/A "Synesthesia – The First Five Years" 2LP
Here are the descriptions/links/covers:
MR-046 U/V Light "Cenotaph" LP $18
Medical Records is very pleased to present the debut album by U/V Light. U/V Light sounds more than a bit like Cloudland Canyon at times. This is because it is the first "solo," effort from Kip Uhlhorn of CC. Kip played, sang on, engineered, mixed, and collaborated with Gabby Weiss on this new recording. Eschewing standard German comparisons that CC usually receives, U/V LIGHT often sounds like either early electro or dance-pop but without the typical blueprint so commonly replicated these days. Kip's rockist tendencies make this recording more interesting and fresher than those usual reference points. However, after Gabby's vocals kick in, some of the band's influences can be discerned such as Desire, or Uffie fuzed with Sylvester, Bobby O, Jonzun Crew, Space "Magic Fly", etc. One could also draw some comparisons to Primal Scream's "Screamadelica", Seefeel, or Craig Leon at times. Despite hints at motorik tempos and/or beats., U/V Light is more of a pop affair. It is also not a simple continuation of Cloudland Canyon. Dance-pop seems the clearest reference point here, but Cenotaph does not have a standard dance beat feel. Recorded quickly, the record has a consistent sonic approach that makes individual tracks sound like a suite of songs. God no, it is not a rock opera, but it has a singular sonic identity which makes it differ from previous Cloudland outings. Enough comparisons already, U/V Light's Cenotaph mostly equates to a Kip Uhlhorn solo recording. Influences are felt, but they don't dominate here. Sometimes a hybrid like this one is not easily categorized. If you like Cloudland Canyon then you will most likely enjoy Cenotaph. Or even if you do not prefer them (or have never even heard of them for that matter), this recording stands on its own. Six propulsive tracks ebb and flow with a continuous feel that takes the listener down a hypnotic wormhole. This album was recorded using impressive arsenal of vintage analog synths as well as modern modular equipment. For fans of aforementioned influences as well as others (Grosskopf, Schultze, Slowdive) and especially those who enjoyed the most recent of the Cloudland Canyon 12" series. Mastered by Martin Bowes at the Cage Studios, UK. Presented on high-quality 180gram heavyweight colored vinyl.

MR-050 V/A "Synesthesia – The First Five Years" 2LP $23
Medical Records is celebrating it's 5 year anniversary as well as 50th release! Medical Records was founded sometime in 2007/2008 but released it's first double header of reissues in May 2010 with the (at the time) little known Deutsche Wertarbeit (MR-001) and the first album by famed Italo/synthpop guru Alexander Robotnick (MR-002). Since the beginning, Medical has pledged to bring back long out of print and lost new wave, synth, and disco LPs from the 70s and 80s. With an emphasis on high quality heavy vinyl (with a dizzying array of colored wax), these essential records have been made available again at a reasonable price for collectors and new fans to cherish once again. Over time, we expanded our palette to include new artists with a similar aesthetic to our vision as well as crucial 90s reissues in the shoegaze and other unclassifiable genres. With collaborations with Crispy Nuggets, Light In The Attic, and Portland's 2010 Records, the back catalog of releases have spanned | 0.655135 | -0.310263 | -1.197999 | -0.717776 | [

Theopetra Cave
The cave of Theopetra is located on the northeast side of a limestone rock formation, 3 km south of Kalambaka, in Thessaly, central Greece. The site has become increasingly important as human presence is attributed to all periods of the Middle and Upper Paleolithic, the Mesolithic, Neolithic and beyond. The formation of Theopetra limestone has been dated in the Upper Cretacious period (137.000.000 - 65.000.000 years ago), however, the cave is not that old. The area of the cave is approximately 500 square meters (5,380 square feet) and has been continuously inhabited from circa 50000 BC to 3000 BC. The chronology of its prehistoric inhabitation has been established through more than 50 radiocarbon dates, derived mostly from charcoal samples collected from the remains of hearths.
The entrance is arched, 17m wide by 3m high and allows abundant natural light to enter the interior. The abandonment of the cave by its occupants around 3000 BC is most likely related to natural phenomena.The intense activity of the water that entered the cave through karst ducts towards the end of the Neolithic period and the collapse of large pieces of the roof, again due to erosion, probably forced the occupants out of the cave in search of another place to make their home.
Dr. Aikaterini Kyparissi-Apostolika, specializing in prehistoric archaeology and speleology, was the head of the team which began excavations in Theopetra Cave in 1987 and continued through 2007. Before 1987, the cave was occasionally occupied by shepherds, who sheltered their herds in it. The study of the cave has already provided us with plethora of information, including climate changes in the long past and evolution of human life in the area during the Paleolithic era. During the excavations, archaeologists were able to find many burials, stone tools, pottery, animal bones, as well as the oldest known man-made structure on earth, officially recorded to this day. This was a stone wall which once partially closed off the entrance of the cave. Using a relatively new method of dating, scientists have now been able to date this wall to around 23,000 years old. It is assumed that this wall was built by the residents of the cave in order to protect themselves from cold and winds.
Among the most striking finds, two human skeletons, one from the Upper Paleolithic period after the Last Glacial Maximum and one from the Mesolithic period, should be emphasized, while in a deep Middle Paleolithic layer, the oldest human footprints, with remains of fire, were uncovered. In 2009, the archaeologist's team found a trail of at least three human footprints left in the cave's soft earthen floor, apparently by several Neanderthal children about 2-4 years old, judging by the prints' sizes. It is estimated that they lived in the cave during the Middle Paleolithic period about 135,000 years ago. The archaeologists also discovered human burials at the place of their deposition so there is no doubt that this cave was inhabited. In 2016, researchers successfully extracted the DNA from the tibia of individuals, buried in Theopetra Cave. Two burials correspond to the post-glacial Upper Paleolithic period and one has been dated to 14990-14060 BC, while three more burials correspond to the Mesolithic, and have been dated between 7000 and 7500 BC. All skeletons found, according to the archaeologist, belong to the type of Homo Sapiens. Among them, are the remains of an 18-year-old woman who lived in the cave 7,000 years ago. After years of intensive work, the teenager's face was reconstructed by scientists and she was given the name of "Avgi" (Dawn).
The excavations in the Cave of Theopetra came to disprove earlier data leading us to the beginnings of prehistoric humans' habitation in Thessaly. All the findings are now exhibited at the Theopetra Cave Document | 1.39476 | 3.439509 | 2.04839 | 0.992808 | [

I drove home from Iron River, Michigan this morning, with a stop in Manitowish Waters to check out the Powell Marsh (photos later). It started out in the 70s and rose throughout the morning, and was 93 by the time I got to Ashland at about 1:45. And that's what it was in Iron River, Wisconsin, and then it started falling to the 80s. But suddenly, drawing close to Superior, it dropped to the upper 60s. And then it dropped again--drawing into Superior it was 59, and here in Duluth it's 56! That's a 37-degree drop, thanks to living on the shores of the world's largest air conditioner.
I filled up in Watersmeet, MI, on the way today, and my gas mileage when I got home (over 200 miles) was 59 mpg! Anyone who says Priuses aren't that good is just plain wrong.
This post is not about birds. When I was in high school (class of '69), one of the popular songs being sung by high school and college choruses was "Madame Jeanette," music by Alan Murray, lyrics by Edward Lockton. I first heard the song, sung by the West Leyden Choir, at my elementary school in 1965--the high school choir performed at an assembly to sort of let us know what high school was all about. And I was blown away. Because of how exquisitely they sang that song, it was my fondest desire to get into that choir.
When I made it, I pestered Mr. Roth until he pulled out the music so we could sing it--now that I think back on it, he probably preferred to change music now and then so he didn't have to deal with the exact same songs year after year, but he kindly gave in. I loved singing it as much as I loved listening to it, but it was an a Capella arrangement with tight harmonies that a single voice just didn't do justice to, so once choir was over, that was the end of my lovely song. My sister-in-law gave me the music for it one Christmas, but that didn't work to reproduce my lovely singing experience, either.
I've so wished I had a recording of it, but now, thanks to the miracle that is Google, I just found one! This recording of Madame Jeanette is sung by the Dartmouth Glee Club, a men's rather than a mixed choir, but is lovely nonetheless. It's on the Dartmouth Class of '65 webpage.
Now I'm going to have to actually go get Stephen Jay Gould's book Bully for Brontosaurus because, also thanks to the miracle that is Google, I just learned that in it he discusses this amazing song. I read an excerpt at Google Books.
Wow--Chicago's really, and literally, humming these days! I was only four years old when the 17-year-locusts made their first appearance during my lifetime in 1956, and living in a neighborhood of the city where there were few trees, so they didn't make an impression on me. Next time, 1973, I was 21, married, living in East Lansing, so I didn't experience them then. Next time was in 1990, when I was living in Duluth. But this time I just happened to be visiting my sister in Elmhurst, to take part in the annual Relay for Life, and WHOA! They're way cuter and more innocuous than army worms, that's for sure! But also way noisier--it was almost deafening at times.
And here she is, the bravest woman I know, my sister Mary. And that is all I have to say about that.
Here is my Oklahoma reptile and amphibian gallery. No captions yet.
I finally got my photo galleries "up" from my Oklahoma trip, though I still haven't put in the captions--will work on that tomorrow, as Scarlett says. The bird gallery is here.
I got home from Eagle River Friday night at 1:30, and headed up to Sandstone Saturday morning. I LOVE this birding festival--it highlights the many wonderful breeding birds up here, and the Audubon Center of the North Woods is such a wonderful spot that you never know where you' | 0.42503 | -0.233071 | -0.555062 | -1.525318 | [

CSAs Will Require Increased Controls
Commission sharing arrangements in Europe will require tighter control and governance in order to comply with the requirements for research payments under Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II, the regulations covering markets in the region from 2018.
This month the European Commission published a delegated act setting out detailed requirements for MiFID II, which included the unbundling of research and execution fees. Dealing commissions for fund investors have historically combined both researching the investment decision and the cost of execution in one payment.
The European Securities and Markets Authority had proposed that fund managers either pay for research out of their own revenues or set up research payment accounts for clients with an agreed budget. The delegated acts allow modified commission sharing arrangements — which are not linked to the volume of trades — to fund research payment accounts. The text said: "The research payment account should only be funded by a specific research charge to the client which should only be based on a research budget set by the investment firm and not linked to the volume and/or value of transactions executed on behalf of clients."
Amrish Ganatra, managing director at Commcise Software, which provides cloud-based commission management technology, posted a guest blog on the Integrity Research Associates website on the difference between CSAs and RPAs. He said: "Even when compliant, the role of the CSA is limited to providing funding, and does not address the reporting and quality assessment requirements of the new regulation."
Ganatra explained why current CSAs do not automatically translate into an RPA. Investment firms need to be in control of their RPA and so need to reconcile any CSA that provides research funding. "We interpret this to mean that a trade-by-trade reconciliation would need to be conducted in order to provide evidence of such control," he added.
CSAs can detail eligibility criteria such as the specific funds to be included or excluded from the agreement but this may not meet MiFID II requirements. "When a fund is excluded, this is only recognized post-trade and at that stage, the broker keeps the full service rate and the CSA is not credited," Ganatra added. "We believe this practice might need to be reconsidered when operating within the bounds of an RPA."
In addition CSAs are not typically covered by a research budget, which will need to be set under MiFID II. Ganatra said: "It is our interpretation that the delegated act requires budgets to be managed at the firm level. The investment firm would however have to notify its clients if the firm-level research budget were breached."
However other firms have interpreted the act differently. Neil Scarth, principal at Frost Consulting, a regulatory consultancy, said in an email to Markets Media earlier this month that fund managers need to establish monetary (dollar) values for research and set up a fair allocation of research costs between clients – possibly at the strategy or fund level, rather than the firm level – for both equities and fixed income.
Amrish Ganatra, Commcise
Frost Consulting has launched FrostRB which gives asset managers the ability to establish monetary values for specific unpriced research products and construct monetary research budgets for individual funds to meet MiFID II research spending requirements – but does not provide access to research reports.
Ganatra added that CSAs cannot be MiFID II compliant without a robust research evaluation platform and regulatory reporting. "The important consideration for investment firms is that existing CSA administrators may struggle to deliver this requirement because they (i) typically only see eligible CSA trades (ii) may not see other asset types (iii) don't have visibility of priced research consumption by fund (iv) don't have visibility of the research evaluation process, and how this links back to funds or clients," he said.
As a result some fund managers have already taken the decision to separate research costs ahead of the implementation of MiFID II. From the start of this month UK fund manager Woodford will start paying for research itself while larger rival Legal and General Investment Management is unbundling trading and research commissions and giving each of its active equity funds a defined research budget.
Mark Pumfrey, head of Europe, Middle East and Africa at the institutional block trading platform Liquidnet, told Markets Media last week: "There was relief that CSAs are still allowed although they have to be linked to RPAs and the research budget which will be onerous for the | 0.105553 | 0.409765 | 0.531717 | 1.065646 | [

An iconic Sister who paved the way for the south Bronx's resurgence now has her own street within the community she fought to save.
On Saturday, October 25, Congressman Jose Serrano addressed members of the Hunts Point community at an unveiling of the new 'Sister Thomas S.C. Way' street sign.
It is meant to commemorate both the life and legacy of the late Bronx community leader, Sister Miriam Thomas Collins, S.C., who selflessly served the Hunts Point area and its residents during its harshest times. The event was held at Father Gigante Plaza located on 878 Tiffany Street.
"Sister Thomas, S.C. was one of the most beloved members of our community, a legendary community leader who dedicated her life to serving the most needy in the Bronx. It was a honor to be present at the unveiling of the new 'Sister Thomas, S.C. Way', a tribute to the life and legacy of this extraordinary woman," said Serrano.

Sister Thomas, a Brooklyn native, attended St. Mary Star of the Sea School and Bishop McDonnell High School in her hometown. A graduate of the College of Mount St. Vincent, she earned a bachelor's degree in history and began her ministry with the Sisters of Charity on September 8, 1951 as an educator.
Sister Thomas taught early grades in Ascension School in Manhattan as well as middle school in St. Athanasius School in Longwood. In 1967, the Sister abandoned her education career instead to fully devote her services to a community in dire need.
During this time, the south Bronx was victimized by violence, riots, crime, drugs, and arson. It soon became both Sister Thomas and many others' mission to help restore this severely affected section of our borough.
"She was a member of the community," explained Elena Miranda, director of Communications. "Sister Thomas was a very amazing person and she was part of a team that refused to stop believing in the south Bronx."
Miranda explained that Sister Thomas took a stand against violence and was instrumental in restoring as well as in beautifying the neighborhood. In doing so, Sister Thomas also instilled a sense of pride within the south Bronx and its residents.
She collected clothing and sold it to people for prices they could afford. The money raised was then reinvested into the community to help in the ongoing restoration efforts. In 1968, she co-founded the Southeast Bronx Community Organization along with Father Louis Gigante which lead to the development of affordable housing apartments which was named in her honor in 2008.
Sister Thomas, 80, passed away on Thursday, March 20, 2014.
Miranda revealed more insight into Sister Thomas' one-of-a-kind character.
"She was quite the personality," she informed. "Sister Thomas always had a tremendous smile and always looked so extravagant. She always had her hair done and looked so pretty all the time. She had a great presence and was a very spiritual, kind, and caring person."
One of the sister's trademarks was in wearing extravagant earrings. A wreath composed from her earrings was fabricated as a tribute following her passing.
During her lifetime, Sister Thomas received many awards and honors including the Keys to the Borough of the Bronx, given to her by Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr. as gratitude for all of her work. She was also a recepient of the Bronx Times Reporter's 25 Influential Women's Award
"Whenever people honored her, she gave that credit to the congregation," Miranda said. "She lived the spirit | 1.400239 | 0.920094 | 0.757443 | -0.588825 | [

PortsToronto Announces Winning Movies for Sail-In Cinema™
Toronto (July 12, 2017) – The votes have been tallied and today PortsToronto announced the three winning movies that will screen at the seventh-annual Sail-in Cinema™ movie festival being held August 17-19 at Sugar Beach. A record 5,500 votes were cast by the public to select the three movies from a shortlist of 20 diverse and popular films.
A tale as old as time, an archaeologist with a knack for adventure and a young misfit will come to the silver screen at this year's Sail-in Cinema with the winning movies and screening dates as follows:
Edward Scissorhands on Thursday, August 17
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark on Friday, August 18
Beauty and the Beast (2017) on Saturday, August 19
"This year we broke all records as 5,500 votes were cast to determine this year's winning line-up," said Deborah Wilson, Vice President, Communications and Public Affairs, PortsToronto. "While voters faced a difficult decision with so many great movies to choose from, a clear favourite emerged as the new live-action Beauty and the Beast movie took top spot and set a new record for most votes cast for a single movie. This year's winning lineup – Beauty and the Beast (2017), Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark and Edward Scissorhands – is sure to offer something for everyone, featuring both time-honoured classics and new takes on old favourites. We are counting down the days to PortsToronto's annual celebration of summer on the waterfront that brings the community together for three unforgettable nights of movies under the stars."
PortsToronto is delighted to have new and returning partners this year including Toyota, Redpath Sugar, CTV, the Toronto Star, Fresh Air Cinema, Porter Airlines, Starbucks and The Waterfront BIA.
While Sail-In Cinema™ is a free event, there is limited seating on the landside and entry is subject to availability of space. Boat mooring will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Non-stop activities, food and entertainment will once again be offered by event sponsors prior to the start of each night's feature film to provide a full evening of fun for all ages. Gates will open at 6:00 p.m. each night with the film starting at approximately 8:00 p.m.
For more information on Sail-In Cinema™, visit www.sailincinema.com. Information about the event will be shared using the #SailInCinema hashtag.
About the films:
Edward Scissorhands (1991): In a castle high on top of a hill lives an inventor's greatest creation — Edward, a near-complete person. But when the inventor dies before he can finish Edward's hands, the young man is left with metal scissors for hands. Edward lives alone in the castle until a kind woman discovers him and welcomes him into her home. Edward tries to adapt to life in the tight-knit community but encounters trouble with certain members. Starring Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, Dianne Wiest and Alan Arkin.
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981): Harrison Ford plays the swashbuckling hero and archaeologist, Indiana Jones, who, with his spunky girlfriend, must battle foes of every shape, size and description to keep the mysterious Lost Ark of the Covenant out of Hitler's hands. Starring Harrison Ford, Karen Allen and John Rhys-Davies.
Beauty and the Beast (2017): Disney's animated classic takes on a new live-action form with a widened mythology and an all-star cast. A young prince, imprisoned in the form of a beast, can be freed only by true love. What may be his only opportunity arrives when he meets Belle, the only human girl to ever visit the castle since it was enchanted. Starring Emma Watson, Dan Stevens, Luke Evans and | 0.362025 | 0.086557 | -0.563939 | -1.47199 | [

MITEF Arab Startup Competition 14th Edtition Semifinalists
14 Jan 2021 4 min read
It has been a really long time since last January 14th, but we made it!
For fourteen years in a row, we have been organizing one of MENA's most impactful competitions in the startup ecosystem, where we have witnessed multiple success stories and the transformation of the regional digital scene. The MIT Enterprise Forum Arab Startup Competition continues to shed light on this region's potential and empowers entrepreneurs through training, networking, mentorship, and monetary support.
The 14th edition of the Arab Startup Competition marks the first (of many more to come) completely virtual competition that we organize. To our surprise, the virtual competition attracted over 1000 complete submissions from around the world, including Arab expats, locals, and innovators who are truly changing the world one tiny bit at a time. And for that, we say thank you.
This year there was an obvious shift in the type of applications we received. For example, we noticed an increase in Edtech startups who are alleviating the inefficiencies in current online learning platforms. Also, we noticed that many innovators are working on telehealth solutions that would support healthcare providers in light of the ongoing global pandemic. Lastly, several of this year's applications focused on sustainability and climate change.
Before we move forward, we thank our Main Partner Community Jameel and Strategic Digital Partner Zain Group for their ongoing trust to empower the region's youth and create long-term impact through the Arab Startup Competition. Also, we're thrilled to be joined by the teams at Microsoft for Startups ME, Oracle MENA, Mohammed Bin Rashid Innovation Fund, and Roland Berger to put together a fully-virtual training bootcamp in the upcoming weeks. Lastly, we thank GrowIN Portugal for joining us as a Prize Partner.
You could check the list of this year's prizes here.
As usual, the competition was open for three separate tracks, each with a unique set of eligibility and evaluation criteria: Startups Track, Ideas Track, and the Social Entrepreneurship Track.
For the first judging round, each application was reviewed by 2 expert judges, who evaluated based on the following criteria: team strength, innovation, financial sustainability, scalability, and social impact for the Social Entrepreneurship track. We found that this methodology provides a fair and thorough understanding of what each application is offering.

New Pathfinder Society Scenarios: What Prestige is Worth and The Rasping Rebirth
Today we're going to take a look at two of the most recent Pathfinder Society Scenarios that are currently available for purchase, and let you know we thought. Although you'll find references to events in each that I liked or disliked, and comments about specific characters, these scenarios are not explored in detail. It's not my intention to spoil the events in these scenarios, or give summaries and full reviews, but to share my opinions and provide recommendations. That said, if you want to avoid even minor spoilers I recommend you check out a different article. Whether you intend to use them in home games of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, sanctioned scenarios for use with the Pathfinder Society Organized Play, or just want to read a nifty new adventure, we've got you covered! So let's get cracking!
Pathfinder Society Scenario #10-08: What Prestige is Worth by Matt Duval.
Pathfinder Society Scenario #10-08: What Prestige is Worth is a Tier 7-11 adventure written by Matt Duval. It begins in the Grand Lodge in Absalom, but quickly moves to the city of Dis, the second layer of Hell ruled by the Archdevil Dispater. This scenario makes use of the Pathfinder Core Rulebook, Advanced Player's Guide, Planar Adventures, and Ultimate Magic. It features creatures from Pathfinder Bestiary, Bestiary 3, Book of the Damned, NPC Codex, and the Villain Codex (although all of the necessary stat blocks are included within the scenario). It utilizes the Pathfinder Flip-Mat Classics: City Streets , Gamemastery Map Pack: Hellscapes, and a full page custom map. This mission is of particular importance to members of the Dark Archives faction. If you've got any characters who have ties to Zarta Dralneen, an interest in interacting with devils, or who worships Asmodeus or an Archdevil, now is definitely the time to bring them! In addition, if you have any PCs that have the checked version of the Infernal True Name boon (from Pathfinder Society Scenario #9-16: Fallen Family, Broken Name), you'll get both helpful and hindering effects during the course of this adventure. It should also be noted that many characters will have issue working with devils. If your character adamantly would not do so, even for the greater good, don't bring them. Lastly, characters who have obvious ties to good outsiders, who openly worship divine beings, or who can cast divine magic will have a harder time accomplishing their goals than those who don't. Although that doesn't mean you shouldn't bring such goodly characters, it is something you should take into account.
Rowane, a norn from Pathfinder Society Scenario #10-08: What Prestige is Worth. Art by Michele Giorgi.
This adventure tasks the PCs with entering a portal in the Pathfinder Archives that spontaneously opened to Dis. The portal has a connection to an important soul from Cheliax's past, which Zarta Dralneen, Leader of the Dark Archives, wants to question. Along with Zarta, your players will enter Hell, explore Dis, investigate a contract devil, and interact with some of the nastiest and most dangerous beings around — all while avoiding the attention of Dipater himself!
I really enjoyed this scenario. It's incredibly atmospheric, with Dis always seeming ominous, dark, and downright evil. There's a ton of wonderfully challenging and unique social encounters, where your PCs can forge both enemies and allies — temporary allies, at least. Players will be faced with temptation and opportunity, and even have the chance to barter away parts of their personality or souls in order to accomplish their mission, or gain tangible or esoteric rewards. The battles in this scenario are challenging, and never straight forward. For in Hell a bargain can always be struck — if you're willing to pay…. There's a lot of incredibly helpful handouts, most of which are for the GM. Overall I really enjoyed this scenario. It was different, challenging, haunting, and really, really well done. That said, it's not an easy scenario | 0.452423 | 0.76431 | 0.605268 | 0.226705 | [

to run. Not by a long shot. And it's not an easy one to play, either. Players have a lot of free reign — which is great, but also can be hard. Some groups might flounder, get confused, or just get frustrated with their efforts. Lastly, this scenario is not for everyone. In addition to any moral concerns some folks might have about playing an adventure in Hell, there is also sights and sounds in the background in this scenario that are dark, haunting, and perhaps even offensive. Although I would enjoy this kind of adventure, not everyone will. Although it should go without saying, this is not the kind of adventure you should let your kids play. No way in hell! Haha. I give this scenario four out of five stars.
Pathfinder Society Scenario #10-09: The Rasping Rebirth by Cole Kronewitter.
Pathfinder Society Scenario #10-09: The Rasping Breath is a Tier 12-15 adventure written by Cole Kronewitter. It begins in the Starrise Tower in Mendev, but the majority of the scenario takes place in the Worldwound, and the Abyss. It makes use of Pathfinder Core Rulebook, Bestiary, Bestiary 2, and Mythic Adventures (although all of the necessary stat blocks are included within the scenario) and utilizes Pathfinder Flip-Mat: Battlefield, Pathfinder Flip-Mat: Forest Fire, Gamemastery Map Pack: Swallowed Whole, and a full page custom map. If you've got characters who have done a lot of work to make the Worldwound safer, particularly one who's played multiple scenarios from Pathfinder Society Season Five: Year of the Demon, or if you have any characters who have interacted with the glabrezu demon Koth'Vaul, or the Demon Lord Deskari in the past, I highly suggest bringing them. Characters who have earned the 'Al-Jakri's Debt' boon (from Pathfinder Society Scenario #9–25: Betrayal in the Bones) will also get a nifty benefit during this scenario.
This scenario makes use of rules found in Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Mythic Adventures .
The demon Koth'Vaul, a constant thorn in the side of the Pathfinder Society, has entered the Worldwound, torn open a rift to the Abyss, and entered Deskari's realm. His purpose? Unknown! Your PCs are tasked with tracking down Koth'Vaul, foiling his plans, and destroying him. Now, I REALLY enjoyed this adventure. Every single one of the battles was complex, enjoyable, challenging, and most importantly: dynamic! The social encounters in this scenario were really well-done! There were lots of helpful handouts, cool maps, and the finale! So good! One of my favourite decisions the PCs are faced with is whether they'll accept outside aid from a foul source, knowing that there will be repercussions, but the aid might be necessary. It's a wonderful predicament where your players will have to decide what they're willing to sacrifice in the fight for the greater good. While some PCs will balk at this, others will definitely claim the offered power! The repercussions are amazing, and I can't wait to see how the majority of players swing! Overall I really, really enjoyed this scenario. I give it five out of five stars.
Thanks for joining us today! We'll see you again soon!

Regeneration Agriculture, Gently: Wu-wei in China's Yunnan Province
Joanne Walby
Friday, 1st March 2019
Joanne Walby visits Yunnan Province in China and learns how one woman has transformed an entire region; encouraging regenerative agriculture and repopulating the community.
The garden hose rose like a king cobra. A jet of water surged through it and splashed my ankles before I wrestled it toward a parched pear tree. As a new volunteer at Seattle's Beacon Food Forest, my job was to water the trees, shrubs and plants after a heat wave. Although I lived only a few blocks away, it took a trip to China for me to realize Beacon Food Forest was a leader in a global movement to change how we grow food. These new farming methods, known as regenerative agriculture, start with enriching the soil and have the potential to reverse climate change and heal the planet.
For me, this journey started last year when I lost my job. Facing an uncertain future, I resolved to be open to new opportunities. A week later I received an invitation to join a 10-day permaculture study tour in China. I bought a Mandarin phrasebook and booked my flight to Yunnan Province in southwest China.
Yunnan means "land of the south clouds" and is home to dozens of China's ethnic minorities. Its mountains are laced with low-lying clouds and slope toward terraced rice paddies and croplands nurtured by a temperate climate. I joined a group of 15 other natural farming enthusiasts from across China, the US and the UK. Each day we boarded a bus, Partridge family-style, and traipsed across the countryside to visit organic farmers and food forest gardeners who eschewed chemical pesticides and fertilizer in favor of closed-system, agro-ecological methods, like permaculture.
The tour was led by Cheng Qiu (pronounced "Cho"), a PhD student in food studies at New York University who grew up in Hangzhou, China. She said, "Permaculture is more than a way to grow food. What makes it unique is the focus on relationships."
She said, "Permaculture works on three levels: within the self, the community, and on a global scale, as a self-sustaining economic business model."
She explained that the level of self is key, because this is where we cultivate joy. "When one uses natural farming methods, such as wu-wei (meaning, non-action), nothing is forced. We can act with joy, whether we make simple small changes to our diet, or decide to grow our own food."
We started the tour outside Yunnan's capital, Kunming, home to six million people. We stayed at the GooDay (sic) Sustainability Center, a guesthouse complex that hosts permaculture workshops in a mountain village an hour east of the city. I arrived a day early and thanks to jetlag, awoke at 4am. From the rooftop deck of a 100-year-old house, I listened to birds and insects awaken and observed elements of a recent renovation: a moss-covered green roof to collect rainwater; a sleek open-air modern kitchen; a mud-brick oven in the courtyard; and composting toilets. In the morning I met the woman responsible for the renovation. She said at first, she simply wanted to grow her own food, but she ended up transforming an entire village.

Healing the Self
In 2012 Ting Ting was dissatisfied with her life as a research assistant and project manager at Social Work Institute in Kunming. She said the increasing traffic and smog sent her in search of more grounding work. "At first, it was just that I noticed food didn't taste as good as it did when I was a kid. Then, I started to feel a disconnect between my ideals and my reality. I wanted to do something real." She read a book, Half-Farmer and Half-X by a man who wanted to incorporate small-scale farming into his modern lifestyle. "When I read it, I felt a power building in me," she said.
First, she had to find a plot to grow her own food. She used Google Earth to research "all the green spots" in China, and finally after | 1.822099 | 1.140342 | 2.088969 | 0.235809 | [

18 months, found Damoyu village an hour from her home in Kunming. A Yi ethnic minority village, Damoyu is situated in a snug valley, next to a reservoir and a national forest. Her main priorities were a clean water source and relative quiet. "In my nationwide search," she added with a wry smile, "somehow this little village had almost eluded me."
Like much of the Chinese countryside that had seen rural populations plummet with industrialization, Damoyu village had been "hollowed out", as young people went to urban areas for work. When Ting Ting first visited Damoyu, some 200 old mud-brick homes sat empty. With only 10 percent of Damoyu's population still working in agriculture there was a lot of abandoned land.
Ting Ting's dream was to build an experiential learning center where people could live and learn about sustainable living techniques. As she started to cultivate her own food she learned two things: "With any new project, the initial seed is so tiny. Also, having deep roots is key. So now, before I do anything, I ground myself."
Damoyu plots
Finding Community
Putting down roots in a newly adopted village can be tricky. Ting Ting is part of China's Han ethnic majority, but was pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome she received from the Yi villagers. "When I first came, they helped me – with no agenda. At first, they were curious." She said the relationship has evolved as her project took shape. "Then they were judging, and then skeptical. And now accepting."
Initially, with help of friends and her parents, Ting Ting renovated the 100-year-old mud brick house I stayed in with four guest rooms and made the outer courtyard a gathering place around a large, rustic wooden table. In China, one cannot purchase land, so she signed a 20-year lease for a gardening plot in the village. She and some neighbors also leased a hillside orchard and are cultivating a food forest that will produce pears, mushrooms, herbs and berries.
Renovated 100 year old house
Ting Ting said her motivation for building GooDay was to heal the "toxic loop" between urban and rural communities. She said, "It starts when cities export their chemical pollutants to the countryside through the air and waterways, and in turn, farmers grow produce full of chemical toxins for sale in the cities. I want to help break this toxic urban-rural loop."
Ting Ting decided to expand, so with the help of 60 volunteers, including Bellevue-based permaculture farm designers, Tom and Lia Sommers, she built a three-story dormitory, complete with a courtyard classroom, kitchen and garden. Through the design and building process she learned about ecologically sustainable materials and construction methods, as well as her own tolerance for compromise, when balanced with the comfort of visitors. "I realized that my values will be reflected in the details," she said.
Ting Ting said her relationship with the villagers has been crucial to GooDay's success. "When I first came, people called me, 'Boss Lady'. Now they call me by my name. I feel we have a real connection. For instance, I recently told a neighbor that I wanted to buy a few plum trees to improve the food forest's biodiversity. By that afternoon, word had spread throughout the village and they came back with a suggestion: that the entire village buy a thousand plum trees and get a better price. And we did!"
Sustainable Business Model
Since opening in October 2015, the GooDay Sustainability Center has hosted some 20,000 weekend visitors and over a 1,000 people have attended one- and two-week trainings in permaculture and sustainable living techniques. Some of the visitors end up moving there. Since the end of 2017, 40 people have moved into the village which has 800 families. They leased and renovated old houses and planted gardens and food forests.
"Not everyone who thinks of moving here, does. So far it has been a self-selective process," she said. This influx drew the attention to local government officials, whom Ting Ting described as young and progressive. She said with the officials' support the village's lan | 1.794705 | 1.441167 | 1.96723 | 0.251418 | [

es, so often muddy with the region's heavy rainfall, were paved. "We also asked them to stop painting murals along the village walkways [with nationalistic slogans frequently found across China]. We told them Damoyu's natural beauty is enough."
Ting Ting said she has learned a lot about sustainable living and care for the natural environment from her Yi neighbors. Her 80-year-old Yi landlord told her, "If you chop wood, you must plant trees." Despite being a "hollowed out" village, Damoyu is going through major economic transition. The quarries in the surrounding hills were shut down last year, while a nearby driving school continues to draw thousands of visitors to the area each year.
"There used to be 600 quarry trucks in the village, so this had a major impact. Many families are looking to switch to small businesses, like restaurants." In response to this shift, Ting Ting has asked the villagers for land to create a community hall where villagers can gather and share knowledge with each other. She also employs a few local Yi women who help with cooking and cleaning at GooDay. As experts in the local flora, these local women also lead groups of visitors on foraging expeditions in the surrounding hills. On our last day in Demoyu, a neighbor urged me to taste a peppercorn off a nearby tree. I didn't even know peppercorns grew on trees.
"Try one," she said gesturing to a cluster of tiny, hard berries. I scraped the skin with my teeth and my lips buzzed with a fierce, fresh heat. My lips tingled for the next ten minutes and I couldn't stop smiling. What is that feeling, I wondered?
Fresh produce at Maoxin market in Kunming
The 2013 United Nations report, "Wake up Before it's too Late" argues that if we are to solve systemic problems such as climate change, hunger, and inequality, agro-ecological production practices like permaculture, which utilize natural processes over chemical inputs, "must become the new paradigm."
From the outside, prospects for boosting organic farming in China look bleak: it has the highest rates of chemical fertilizer and pesticide use in the world, and its organic food market is only 1.5% of its domestic market. But there is reason to be hopeful: the government has a policy to curb chemical inputs and achieve "zero growth" in use by 2020. Also, although China's organic food industry is only 1.5% of the domestic market, it's the fourth largest in the world.1
Meanwhile, as the sun went down over the Beacon Food Forest, I aimed the hose at plum and walnut trees and dodged the bees buzzing among pollinating flowers. Then I noticed one of the small bushes had a sign that read, "Szechuan Peppercorn" – the same tingling peppercorns I sampled in Demoyu.
A few minutes later, as if sent from the Goddess who synchronizes all the tiny details of our life, a teenage boy appeared in the grove and waved to get my attention. "Which of these is the Szechuan pepper?" "You mean, the peppercorn tree? Right over there." I pointed, smiling as I remembered the tree in Demoyu. "And make sure you try one. They taste like pure joy."

Janko Nikolić-Žugić
Born: November 1960 | Belgrade, YU
Janko Nikolić-Žugić was born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. As a child, he found molecular biology fascinating, and decided to specialize in natural sciences for secondary school. Nikolić-Žugić realized there were no careers for molecular biologists in Yugoslavia, so decided to become a physician. He entered Belgrade University Medical School, where Miodrag L. Lukiƒá and Marija Mostarica-Stojkoviƒá encouraged him to work in the United States. Nikolić-Žugić spent summers working with Henry H. Wortis at Tufts University, which influenced his decision to leave clinical medicine and pursue a career in the United States. After finishing his doctoral degree in Yugoslavia, he took a postdoc in Michael J. Bevan's lab at the University of California, San Diego, studying intrathymic T cells, then accepted a position at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, New York
Janko Nikolić-Žugić was born and raised in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, which, at the time, was a relatively open Communist country under Josip Broz Tito. His father was an orthopedic surgeon and his mother was a researcher at the Institute for Cultural Development Studies. Nikolić-Žugić was interested in science from a young age, perusing his parents' extensive library and finding issues in molecular biology and the like quite fascinating. He went to his primary school for eight years before moving into a specialization in the natural sciences in his secondary school (Yugoslavia had a Gymnasium system). At the age of fifteen or so he became a competitive volleyball player, practice for which occupied most of his nights and weekends. While all of his coursework was intense, and while he enjoyed science, Nikolić-Žugić realized that there were no careers for molecular biologists in Yugoslavia, so he decided to enter the medical track to become a physician. He entered the Belgrade University Medical School and undertook his medical studies while still having an interest in the practice and study of science more broadly. He received guidance and advice from Miodrag L. Lukić and Marija Mostarica-Stojković, who studied immunology, to do some scientific laboratory work abroad in the United States. Nikolić-Žugić took this advice and went for a few months over a few summers to work with Henry H. Wortis at Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts; this was Nikolić-Žugić's first laboratory experiences and influenced his decision to leave clinical medicine and pursue a scientific career in the United States. He received a master's of science while still in Belgrade, though his studies were interrupted by the civil war, and then a doctoral degree under Lukić, during which time he completed his compulsory military service, working on T cell development. After meeting and marrying his wife, he went on to a postdoctoral position in Michael J. Bevan's lab at the University of California, San Diego studying intrathymic T cells, and then accepted a position at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, where he began his research on specificity in self-peptide selection by T cell receptors. Throughout the interview Nikolić-Žugić discusses his views on Yugoslavia, its culture, its educational system, its political structure, and the state of the country after the various social and political upheavals. In addition, at the end of the interview he discusses his experimental method; his wife's work as a flow cytometry operator in his lab; the science-oriented environment of his home; the necessity of animal research; and balancing family life and his career. The interview concludes with his thoughts on his own mentoring style; the way his medical training frames his research, the role of the Pew Scholars Program in the Biomedical Sciences in his work; the "illogic" concept of gene patenting; funding and its relationship to the direction of research in the United States; publishing; and more on science and politics in the former Yugoslavia.

North Riverside draws scrutiny at state hearing over pensions
By By Wes Venteicher and Tribune reporter
North Riverside's recent efforts to cure its pension-driven financial ills have little bearing on the question of whether the village violated state statutes by underfunding its police and fire pensions, a state Department of Insurance attorney said in a hearing Thursday.
The department summoned North Riverside officials to its Chicago office to explain why the village underfunded police and fire pensions by about $5 million from 2008 to 2012, paying nothing toward the funds in several of those years.
Village officials focused on the future in the hearing, presenting an unusual plan to save money by contracting with an outside company for firefighting services. A newly passed water rate increase will also help, officials said.
The village was one of at least six Illinois municipalities to receive letters from the Department of Insurance ordering the towns to pay more toward their pensions or face penalties. The letters include information about a new enforcement mechanism that will allow the state to force municipalities to pay more toward police and fire pensions starting in 2016.
Department of Insurance officials said the hearing was held to determine whether the village violated state laws by underfunding the pensions. State law gives leeway for underpayment if municipalities can show "good and sufficient cause" for the underpayments.
"It seems they are taking many steps to move forward, but they haven't explained why they didn't take those steps earlier," Department of Insurance attorney Amanda Kimble said in the hearing.
Kimble and the village argued their cases before a Department of Insurance hearing officer, who will make a recommendation to the department's director about whether the village violated state statutes by underpaying its pensions. A recommendation is at least several weeks away, the hearing officer said.
North Riverside projects a budget deficit of $1.9 million for the coming fiscal year, $1.8 million of which is due to its pension obligations, village officials have said. Officials have said privatizing the fire department would save the village about $745,000 per year by reducing benefit costs and moving employees into 401k retirement plans. The North Riverside Firefighters Union Local 2714 has threatened to sue if village officials go through with the privatization plan, saying the union's contractual agreements with the village would prevent privatization.
Village officials and firefighters union representatives both questioned the Department of Insurance's focus on past underpayments instead of solutions for the future.
"It's too bad a small municipality has to face a civil penalty instead of funding its pensions," said Burt Odelson, an attorney representing the village.
A 2013 letter from the department to the village noted the village paid nothing toward its fire pensions from 2009 to 2011 and paid only a fraction of what it should have in 2012, violating statutes requiring municipalities to meet payment schedules. The village underpaid its police pensions over the same period, the letter states.
Village officials have said they could not afford the pension payments because the economic recession reduced sales tax revenue, which makes up a large portion of the village's revenues.
Kimble noted the village managed to make payments to the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund — the pension fund for non-uniformed employees — during the years it failed to pay toward the police and fire funds.
The Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund already contains an enforcement mechanism like the one that will available for police and fire pensions in 2016, North Riverside Finance Director Sue Scarpiniti said at the hearing. For that reason, the village made payments to the municipal fund, she said.
Kimble faulted that logic.
"When push comes to shove, it seems they could find the funds and just made choices as to who was receiving them," Kimble said.
Union officials also criticized the village for not making the required payments, but said the best solution for North Riverside residents is more likely to come from the negotiating table than from state enforcement actions.
J. Dale Berry, an attorney representing the union, said state-forced payments would hurt the residents of North Riverside by forcing dramatic spending reductions.

Little Wizard Stories of Oz is a set of six short stories written for young children by L. Frank Baum, the creator of the Oz books. The six tales were published in separate small booklets, "Oz books in miniature," in 1913, and then in a collected edition in 1914 with illustrations by John R. Neill. Each booklet was 29 pages long, and printed in blue ink rather than black.
The stories were part of a project, by Baum and his publisher Reilly & Britton, to revitalize and continue the series of Oz books that Baum had written up to that date. The story collection effectively constitutes a fifteenth Oz book by Baum.
Baum had attempted to end the Oz series with the sixth book, The Emerald City of Oz (1910); in the final chapter of that book he sealed off the Land of Oz from the outside world. He began a new series of books with The Sea Fairies (1911) and Sky Island (1912). Also, he reacted to his 1911 bankruptcy by increasing his literary output: he produced five books that year, his greatest output since 1907. Baum tried to launch two other juvenile novel series in 1911, with The Daring Twins, released under his own name, and The Flying Girl, under his "Edith Van Dyne" pseudonym.
None of the new series was as successful as the previous Baum and Van Dyne series – the Oz books and Aunt Jane's Nieces. Disappointing sales through 1911 and 1912 convinced Baum and Reilly & Britton that a return to Oz was needed. Baum wrote The Patchwork Girl of Oz for a 1913 release, and in the same year his publisher issued the six Little Wizard stories in individual booklets (price, $0.15 each). The goal was to reach the youngest beginning readers, and create in them an interest in the larger Oz canon, as part of a "promotion of L. Frank Baum and all of his books."
The six tales in the Little Wizard Stories are:
The Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger
Little Dorothy and Toto
Tiktok and the Nome King
Ozma and the Little Wizard
Jack Pumpkinhead and the Sawhorse
The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman
The stories have a charm and simplicity that is appropriate for their intended audience. In the first selection, the Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger are frustrated by their tame routine guarding Ozma's throne in the Emerald City; they decide to go out and fulfill their darker desires. The Lion wants to attack a man and make "chop suey of him." The Tiger longs to satisfy his long-denied appetite for fat babies. In the end, both cats discover that they cannot bring themselves to harm anybody.
(The story Little Dorothy and Toto contains a curious feature. The Wizard plays a trick on Dorothy in order to teach her "that it is really dangerous for a little girl to wander alone in a fairy country." This caution is very different from the independent spirit that Dorothy displays in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and which Baum appears to encourage throughout the Oz series. It would seem clear that Baum was thinking of the smallest readers when he wrote this story.)
The strategy of reaching beginning readers was successful enough for Reilly & Britton to repeat it within a few years. The publisher released selections from L. Frank Baum's Juvenile Speaker (1910) in six smaller books called The Snuggle Tales in 1916–17, and again as the Oz-Man Tales in 1920.

The choice of an appropriate unit depends on which attribute is being measured and the reason for measuring it.
The attribute to be measured determines whether to choose a unit of length, area, mass, or capacity.
The reason and context for measuring determines how accurate a measurement needs to be. Large units are used for broad, approximate measurements; small units are used for precise measurements and detailed work.
When choosing the appropriate size of unit, it is helpful to know that the same set of metric prefixes applies to all attributes (except time) and describes the relationship between the units. For any given unit, the next largest unit is 10 times its size, and the next smallest unit is one tenth its size.
Although not all metric prefixes are commonly used in English Canada, understanding the system reinforces the connection to place value:
Metric Prefix kilo-unit hecto-unit deca-unit unit deci-unit centi-unit milli-unit
Unit Value 1000 units 100 units 10 units 1 unit unit unit unit
Place Value thousand hundred ten one one tenth one hundredth one thousandth
Canada, as well as all but three countries in the world, has adopted the metric system as its official measurement system. It is also universally used by the scientific community because its standard prefixes make measurements and conversions easy to perform and understand. However, Canadians also commonly refer to the imperial system in daily life (gallons, quarts, tablespoons, teaspoons, pounds), and the Weights and Measures Act was officially amended in 1985 to allow Canadians to use a combination of metric and imperial units. The most appropriate unit is dependent on the context. Sometimes it is a metric unit (this is the emphasis in this expectation), sometimes it is an imperial unit, and sometimes it is personal non-standard unit or benchmark.
Although the size of a unit may change, the process for measuring an attribute remains the same. This is true whether using inches, centimetres, or hand spans.
Have students work in pairs to select one object in the classroom that is "very small" and one object in the classroom that is "very large". They could identify the measurable attributes of these objects – do they have length? mass? capacity? area? – and decide what units should be used to measure these attributes. Support students in recognizing that the choice of units is based on several factors, not just the size of the object. After they choose an appropriate unit, have students use benchmarks to estimate the measurements of these attributes and then measure the different attributes of the object as accurately as a purpose requires, recognizing that some attributes may be too challenging to measure (although some students might find creative ways to approximate or research these measures). For example, students might decide to measure different attributes of a reading table or the teacher's desk.
Provide a variety of measurement scenarios, for example:
Have students estimate and measure the area of different spaces in the school (e.g., the library, the gym, their classroom, the basketball court, the school community garden).
Have students estimate and measure the mass of everyday objects based on the mass of a benchmark object. For example, a bag of potatoes has a mass of 5 kg. Does the chair have more or less mass than the bag of potatoes?
Have students estimate and measure the capacity of everyday objects based on the capacity of a benchmark container. For example, a container holds 1 litre. Can you think of a container that holds less than 1 L? How much less?
Support students in making connections to the science and technology curriculum, where they are investigating mass, volume, solids, liquids, and gasses.

base ten relationships:
1 cm is equivalent to 10 mm
100 cm is equivalent to 1 m
types of problems:
determining the perimeter when not all measurements are in the same unit:
comparing measurements expressed in different units:
one container has a capacity of 1440 mL, and another container has a capacity of 2 L
Conversions within the metric system rely on understanding the relative size of the metric units (see E2.1) and the multiplicative relationships in the place-value system (see Number, B1.1).
Because both place value and the metric system are based on a system of tens, metric conversions can be visualized as a shifting of digits to the left or right of the decimal point a certain number of places. The amount of shift depends on the relative size of the units being converted. For example, since 1 km is 1000 times as long as 1 m, 28.5 km becomes 28 500 m when the digits shift three places to the left.
There is an inverse relationship between the size of a unit and the count of units: the smaller the unit, the greater the count. Remembering this principle is important for estimating whether a conversion will result in more or fewer units.
Although this expectation focuses on converting from larger to smaller units, it is important that students understand that conversions can also move from smaller to larger units using decimals. Exposure to decimal measurements is appropriate for Grade 5 students.
Have students discuss whether given statements, such as those below, are true or false. Have them explain their rationale using their knowledge of metric prefixes and a unit's size; their understanding of place value; and their mental math strategies for multiplying by 10, 100, or 1000. Have them estimate whether the result will be larger or smaller and describe how many times greater one unit is than the other.
True or False: 5.6 cm = 0.56 mm
True or False: 3400 km = 34 m
True or False: 4 m = 4000 mm
True or False: 500 L = 50 000 mL
True or False: 3.4 kg = 34 g
Have students find interesting measurement statistics about animals or people (e.g., how far can a grasshopper jump? how much can a weightlifter lift?). Have students express these measurements in different metric units and discuss the impact of choosing that unit (e.g., if a skunk can spray 4.5 m, what is the effect of saying it can spray 450 cm or 4500 mm?). Also, have them apply proportional reasoning to solve problems such as: After 4 hops, a grasshopper is 1 m from its starting position. How many centimetres is the grasshopper from the starting position after 20 hops? As an extension, students could apply proportional reasoning and express these measurements using related but creative non-standard units (e.g., an Olympic long jumper can jump more than 28 grasshopper hops).
Support students in making connections to the science and technology curriculum; for example, making models of organs or components of body systems.
compare angles and determine their relative size by matching them and by measuring them using appropriate non-standard units
making a non-standard unit to measure angles:
creating different-sized sectors by repeatedly folding a paper circle in half and then cutting out the sectors:
two times for 4 sectors
three times for 8 sectors
four times for 16 sectors
comparing angles:
the angle of the yellow hexagon pattern block is equal to four of the acute angles of the tan rhombus, which will be called the tan wedge from here on:
The lines (rays) that form an angle (i.e., the "arms" of an angle) meet at a vertex. The size of the angle is not affected by the length of its rays.
Angles are often difficult to transport and compare directly (i.e., by overlaying and matching one against another); therefore, angles are often compared indirectly by using a third angle to make the comparison:
If the third angle can be adjusted and transported, it can be made to match the first angle and then be moved to the second angle to make the comparison directly. This involves the property of transitivity (if A equals C, and C is greater than B, then A is also greater than B).
If the third angle is a smaller but | -0.274189 | 1.204804 | 2.941146 | 0.805509 | [

fixed angle, it can operate as a unit that is iterated to produce a count. Copies of the third angle are fitted into the other two angles to produce a measurement. The unit count is compared to determine which angle is greater and how much greater.
In the same way that units of length are used to measure length, and units of mass are used to measure mass, units of angle are used to measure angles. Any object with an angle can represent a unit of angle and be used to measure another angle.
Have students build an "angle-capturing tool" by joining two arms (paper, geo strips, cardboard) with some type of pivot (e.g., a paper fastener, or a nut and bolt). Demonstrate how they can adjust the arms of the tool to match and "capture" the size of an angle. Have them match and compare captured angles to any other angles. They can use their angle-capturing tool to record the size of their captured angles in their notebook; classify them as acute, right, obtuse, or straight; and order them from largest to smallest.
Have students use a tan rhombus pattern block as a non-standard unit to measure the angles of the other pattern blocks. Support them as they notice how many tan wedges fit into an angle, and recognize, for example, that each angle on the green triangle pattern block is equivalent to two tan wedges, and that the angles on the orange square are equivalent to three tan wedges. Next, have them predict the number of tan wedges needed to measure and compare the angles of other shapes. Have them extend this learning by using their non-standard tan wedge to measure the angles "captured" with their angle-capturing tool in Sample Task 1. Guide them to recognize that the use of a unit, like the tan wedges, enables a move from comparing angles (Sample Task 1) to measuring angles (Sample Task 2). Through the use of a unit, the question can change from "Which angle is bigger?" to "How big?" and "How much bigger?".
Provide students with a cut-out circle. Have them fold the circle in half until they have a very small sector. Have them use this sector as a non-standard measuring tool to compare the sizes of angles for various shapes.
explain how protractors work, use them to measure and construct angles up to 180°, and use benchmark angles to estimate the size of other angles
making connections between non-standard units and benchmark angles:
90° (Quarter-Turn)
the sum of the acute angles of 3 tan rhombuses (tan wedges:
3 tan wedges = 90°, so 1 tan wedge = 30°.
180° (Half-Turn)
6 tan wedges:
6 tan wedges = 180°
3 tan wedges = 90°
1 tan wedge = 30°
5 tan wedges = 150° (3 wedges + 2 wedges)
locating 30° on a protractor:
Protractors, like rulers or any other measuring tool, replace the need to lay out and count individual physical units. The protractor repeats a unit so there are no gaps or overlaps and includes a scale to keep track of the unit count.
A degree is a very small angle and is a standard unit for measuring angles. When 180° are placed together, they form a straight line, as demonstrated on a 180° protractor.
Since a degree is such a small unit, standard protractors often use a scale (typically in increments of 10) with markings to show the individual degrees. If every degree was labelled with a number, the protractor would need to be much larger.
Protractors usually include a double scale to make it easier to count the degrees in angles that open clockwise and those that open counterclockwise. The outer scale goes from 0° to 180°and reads from left to right, whereas the inner scale goes from 0° to 180° and reads from right to left.
To use a protractor to make an accurate measurement (i.e., a count of degrees):
align the vertex of the rays with the vertex of the protractor (i.e., the midpoint of the protractor where all the degree angles meet);
align ray with the zero line on the protractor, similar to measuring from zero with a ruler;
choose the scale that begins the count at zero and read the measurement where the ray crosses the number scale, i.e., if the rays open to | -0.253302 | 0.646128 | 2.484623 | 0.628616 | [

the right, use the inner scale, and if the rays open to the left, use the outer scale.
Being able to identify benchmark angles, such as 45°, 90°, 135°, and 180°, is helpful for estimating other angles.
Ask students how many tan wedges are needed to form a straight line. Guide them to make the connection that every straight line is 180°, so each wedge is 30°. Have them determine the angle measures of the other pattern block pieces in degrees.
To support students to better understand protractors, build on the work they did in E1.4, Sample Task 2 by taping together several tan wedges to make a semi-circular protractor (e.g., six tan wedges = a straight angle). To keep track of the count of wedges, have students create a scale that counts the wedges (e.g., from 0 to 6), and, since angles can open in any direction, have them number the wedges in both directions. This simulates the double scale on a standard protractor.
To make a transparent non-standard protractor (e.g., one where it is easier to recognize the angle beneath the protractor), have students fold a circular piece of wax paper into sectors and number the scale with a marker. Discuss whether the numbers should be placed on the lines or the spaces (they can think about a ruler for a comparison), and have them use their non-standard protractors to describe how much bigger one angle is than another. In consolidating the learning from the task, guide students to compare their non-standard protractors to standard semi-circular protractors and note similarities and differences. Guide students to notice that degrees are simply really small sectors and that, instead of 6 tan wedges fitting into a straight line, it takes 180° to fill that space.
To further understand how a protractor works, have students compare different types of standard protractors (semi-circular variations; angle rulers; circular protractors) and explain similarities and differences. Have them use different protractors to measure the angles of real-life and relevant objects and estimate to verify that the measurements are reasonable.
Have students randomly select an acute angle measure. Have them sketch that angle. Next, have them use the protractor to determine how close their drawing is to the actual angle. Repeat this activity for obtuse angles.
use the area relationships among rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles to develop the formulas for the area of a parallelogram and the area of a triangle, and solve related problems
rectangles, triangles, and parallelograms with the same bases and heights:
For some shapes and some attributes, length measurements can be used to calculate other measurements. This is true for the area of rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles. Indirectly measuring the area of these shapes is more accurate than measuring them directly (i.e., by laying out and counting square units and partial units).
The spatial relationships between rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles can be used to determine area formulas. The array is an important model for visualizing these relationships.
The area (A) of any rectangle can be indirectly measured by multiplying the length of its base (b) by the length of its height (h) and can be represented symbolically as A = b × h. It can also be determined by multiplying the rectangle's length (l) by its width (w), represented symbolically by A = l × w (see Grade 4, E2.6). This formula can be used to generate formulas for the area of other shapes.
Any parallelogram can be rearranged (composed) into a rectangle with the same area. For all parallelograms it is true that:
the areas of the parallelogram and its rearrangement as a rectangle are equal;
the base lengths of the parallelogram and its rearrangement as a rectangle are equal;
the heights of the parallelogram and its rearrangement as a rectangle are equal;
this means that, the area of any parallelogram can be indirectly measured, like a rectangle, by multiplying the length of its base by the length of its height;
this relationship can be represented symbolically using the formula A = b × h, where A represents Area, b represents base, and h represents height.
Any triangle can be doubled to create a parallelogram (i.e., by rotating a triangle around the midpoint of a side). Any paralle | -0.149549 | 0.404393 | 2.900567 | 0.646826 | [

"Don't do that," Audrain County, Missouri Sheriff Matt Oller advised in a news release regarding a woman who drove to jail on a revoked license and walked in with drugs in her possession. 29-year-old Amanda N. Smith was arrested last Wednesday after she drove to the Audrain County Sheriff's Department with a revoked driver's license in order to reportedly pay a bond for her boyfriend. She was later found to be in possession of methamphetamine. The department's exterior camera recorded Smith driving a vehicle into the parking lot. Major James Shrader told Sergeant Brian C. Hollensteiner that Smith's driver's license was revoked after multiple convictions of driving while intoxicated and driving while suspended or revoked. During the booking process, Smith was allegedly observed removing an item from her bra and placing it in her pants. Deputies discovered a 2.5-gram plastic bag containing a white crystalline believed to be methamphetamine. Smith was charged with felony driving while revoked or suspended, unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia, and delivery or possession of a controlled substance at a county jail.

Sometimes, paradise comes with its own hazards. A Key West stripper was jailed after police said she committed an assault with a "deadly weapon" on Duval Street. The weapon: one coconut. 36-year-old Shonta Latasha Bolds, who is listed as a Miami resident, was arrested on a felony charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon at about 2:00 a.m. last Saturday. Bolds admitted to police she threw the coconut at George Exposito, but only because he was videotaping her sitting on the porch of the VIP Gentlemen's Club. Police said that she shouted obscenities at him as he walked by filming her. Then she hurled a coconut at him. Police said that the video didn't capture the coconut throw, but it did show a coconut wobbling on the sidewalk "as if it had just been thrown." Entertainers at the VIP club have been known to get angry at passersby who snap photos of them. (https://hrld.us/2WIaplX)
MOMENT OF DUH: Brought to you by FunkyMonkeyShirts.com
A New Jersey man was arrested after police say a video appeared on social media appearing to show the suspect urinating on an unoccupied Newark police SUV -- while a crowd cheered him on. 22-year-old Tauqeer Boyd, the man allegedly seen in the video shot Saturday night, appeared to relieve himself on the marked police vehicle parked outside the CityPlex 12 movie theater. Boyd was arrested at his home just hours after citizens alerted police to the video. Newark Public Safety Director Anthony F. Ambrose said, "We absolutely will not tolerate disrespect of our police. We take this as a personal insult. When our department became aware of this, we moved quickly to apprehend the suspect." Police said that Boyd was charged with lewdness, criminal mischief and disorderly conduct. The West Orange native was previously arrested in October for burglarizing a police cruiser parked outside Hoboken Police headquarters.
