River of Lights
Every December along the Rio Grande, the Albuquerque Biopark (the zoo/aquarium/botanic park in Albuquerque NM) holds a celebration called the River of Lights. Thousands of lights adorn frameworks in the shapes of animals and objects in a fantastic nighttime display. People come from all over the world to see this event. Imagine what it would be like if they spent all that time and money to create these light displays, and then would not let anyone see them.
Hanukkah begins the evening of December 24 in 2016. One of the requirements of the weeklong celebration is the nightly lighting of the menorah. One does not merely light a menorah in a back room. A part of the requirement is that the light be positioned so that it can be seen from the street.
Even though the tradition of lighting the menorah candles may not have begun in the 1st Century CE, Jesus understood the principle. One of his most famous sayings has to do with the hiding or display of light.
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. (Matt 5:14-16)
Sometimes it takes courage to shine the light. There was a time in Germany when having a visible menorah became a dangerous requirement, yet many Jewish people continued to let the light shine forth. (And many non-Jews did so, too, in solidarity against hatred.) Actually, there was a time in many countries, including England, when this was a dangerous practice. In New Mexico and Arizona, many Jewish people had to hide their light under penalty of death. Some of these would still light the menorah and let it shine, but in remote places rather than their own homes. In Spain, Maimonides advocated conversion in name but not in practice. He held that martyrdom was only necessary if one was forced to publicly violate the Law of Moses, but one could do more good living than dead.
In like manner, Christians have been persecuted in many places for letting their figurative light shine. Sometimes that persecution has come from others who called themselves by the same name; most famously it has come from unbelievers of various sorts. Like the Crypto-Jews, many shine their light in remote places such as catacombs or private homes. Others shine their light openly and suffer for it. Today in many countries Christians (and Jews) are beaten, expelled, or killed because they expressed their faith, or worse, openly attempted to gain proselytes.
The persecution is not always as open as beatings, or even registration on a list. It doesn’t take being forced to wear a yellow star to be subject to persecution. Sometimes it comes in the guise of extreme patriotism. Sometimes it comes in laws banning certain pieces of clothing. Sometimes the persecution even comes from well-meaning Christians who cross the line and demand that those they consider greater sinners follow God’s will in spite of their unbelief. (This is a form of Christian super-patriotism.) Regardless of the form of persecution, we have a long history of people who quietly continued to let their light shine, regardless of circumstance.
Perhaps it is not a coincidence that the first full day of Hanukkah is the same day that some Christians celebrate the birth of the Messiah this year. In America we have gone through a contentious presidential election that was characterized more by lies and hatred than in any election cycle in memory. Our current president ran with a campaign slogan of “Hope.” That is what the light of Hanukkah symbolizes, rather than divisiveness. Now is a time when Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and many others must come together and place our symbolic menorot in the windows, so that hope shines out.

I'm trying to clone a hard drive that has Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger installed. The hard drive is bootable but I'm having trouble finding a cloning software that supports Mac OS X 10.4.11.

The best way to clone a bootable hard drive in Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger is to use a third-party software such as Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. Both of these applications are compatible with Mac OS X 10.4.11 and allow you to create a bootable clone of your existing hard drive. Carbon Copy Cloner is a free application that can be downloaded from their website, while SuperDuper is a paid application with a free trial version available.

10 Past Evils that Small Government Failed to Stop
Posted March 18, 2016 by Scott Schaeffer & filed under Republican Refutations, Rescuing Religion - book excerpts.
[This is an excerpt from the book, “Rescuing Religion from Republican Reason”]
As I stated previously, I worked in corporate sales for 18 years. There are things I think I know, and there are things I know indisputably. What I know indisputably is that a significant percentage of people will do anything for money if they can get away with it. For many corporations, there is no concern for right versus wrong. All that stops them from doing evil is the strong arm of the law. Here are ten examples of the innocent suffering where the strong arm of the law was absent:
Triangle Fire, March 25, 1911 – The year before this fire, Triangle Shirtwaist workers went on strike demanding sanitary conditions and safety precautions, including fire escapes and open doors to the streets. They didn’t get them. The fire killed 146 women, average age 19, because the doors were regularly chained shut by management to keep employees from leaving early or taking breaks. When the fire broke out, few could escape. No owners were ever tried for a crime. According to libertarianism, these business owners were in the right, because the factory was their property, and they could do whatever they wanted with it.
Breaker Boys – from the 1870s to the 1920s – Boys 8-12 years old would work 10 hour days, six days a week inside the entrances of coal mines, separating coal from other elements. In the state of Pennsylvania alone, there were 20,000 breaker boys in 1880. Numbers peaked at 24,000 in 1907. Labor activist “Mother” Jones complained, “Fifty years ago there was a cry against slavery and men gave their lives to stop the selling of black children on the block. Today, the white child is sold for two dollars a week to the manufacturer.” In today’s money, that two dollars equals about $40, just enough to feed the child.
The libertarian Republican might argue that the children’s parents were “free” to choose to send them to the mines. The truth was that families were so impoverished they had no choice but to make their children earn their keep. As I stated in the last chapter, money buys liberty; those who lack money have no freedom but the freedom to live a slave-like existence in a laissez-faire, corporate capitalist, libertarian society.
The Freedom Rider attacks – 1961 – The Freedom Riders were a mix of white and black Americans riding buses bound for a civil rights rally in New Orleans. The riders chose to have African-Americans sit up front as a symbol of their convictions. City government officials in Birmingham, Alabama, under the influence of the Ku Klux Klan, carried out a plan to have KKK members attack the riders on numerous occasions, while the police were prohibited from intervening. Most riders were beaten to a point that they could no longer continue on the journey and had to be replaced by new Freedom Riders. Only when John F. Kennedy threatened to use federal force to protect the riders did the state of Alabama reluctantly offer some protection. The KKK was so powerful that it controlled local government, but it was nowhere near powerful enough to control the federal government. Ultimately, it was the federal government that put a stop to the atrocities against African-Americans in the South, because state and local governments, corrupted by the KKK, refused to do so in the name of states’ rights and small government.
The Leaded Gas Scare – 1920s – Standard Oil and DuPont Chemical workers suffered severe neurological effects, and even death, from lead exposure while manufacturing leaded gasoline. Had the government had workplace safety regulations enforced through inspections, these people would have been spared terrible suffering.
Hawks Nest Tunnel (Union Carbide) disaster, Gauley Bridge, WV 1927-1930 – According to a congressional report, 426 workers died and 1500 were sickened by silicosis while digging a hydro-electric tunnel and mining silica within it. The excessive silica dust inhibited lung functionality. Company management, knowing the dangers, always wore masks when on site, but no safety precautions were taken or permitted for the workers. Safety precautions would not have been all that expensive. But to the truly greedy, even small amounts of money are worth more than human life.
Today, Republicans complain about the nit-picky nature of OSHA. Having worked in a furnace manufacturing plant in my younger days, I agree that they can be a nuisance. But as we examine history, it becomes clear that we are far better off being annoyed by OSHA than we are suffering death and dismemberment at the hands of the greedy.
Shipping deaths of immigrants coming to America – early to mid-1800s – When American ships returned from delivering exports to Europe, they loaded up with European immigrants looking for a new life in America. In the late 1700s, about 10% of passengers died en route to America. So did the ship’s owners improve conditions to save lives? Not at all! In fact, they did just the opposite. They proceeded to regularly oversell passenger space, cramming up to 1000 people below deck. Conditions on board were so unsanitary that one in seven people died from cholera in the 1840s. By 1845, 20% of incoming immigrants died en route to America, more than twice the death rate from a few decades earlier. On board the April, in 1847, 500 German immigrants died. These atrocities serve as proof that lovers of money will kill for even more money.
Avondale mining disaster, Plymouth, PA 9/6/1869 – Just a few months before the disaster, politicians serving coal company interests defeated legislation to have safety inspectors and better ventilation for mines. All 179 men in the mine died, some as young as 12 years old, because a fire blocked the mine’s only entrance and suffocated the workers. In neighboring Schuylkill County, 556 mine deaths occurred from 1870-1875.
Cuyahoga River fires – 1868 to 1969 – This Cleveland area river caught fire 13 times during this period, due to an overabundance of oil and other industrial pollutants in the river. The largest and most expensive was in 1952. It did one million dollars in damage to boats and buildings along the shore. The most famous was the 1969 fire featured in Time Magazine. A 1968 Kent State study of the river affirmed that a large section of it had no animal life. Thanks to aggressive environmental legislation and the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency, the river has been cleaned up and fires haven’t been a problem. Even northern pike and steelhead trout, which can only live in clean water, have returned to the river. According to libertarian ideology, the EPA is an unnecessary evil, because the threat of corporate lawsuits is all it takes to prevent pollution and river fires. History has proven the libertarians wrong.
Enron and rolling blackouts – early 1990s – George H.W. Bush supported 1992 deregulatory legislation that removed government price controls and allowed risky investment behavior. Within the first 6 months after the law went into effect, California experienced 38 rolling blackouts. Enron also deceived investors through acts of creative accounting, leading people to invest in a company that would soon go bankrupt.
Health insurance deception (personal story) – 1990-1991 – As I prepared to move to Nashville, Tennessee to study at Belmont University, I bought a small, student health insurance plan. The plan’s prospectus said the policy would cover “up to $5000 for surgeon’s fees,” among other things. About nine months into the policy’s coverage period, I had a hernia operation, and the surgeon charged $3000. How much did the insurance company pay? They paid $1000. Apparently, “up to $5000” meant they would pay whatever the felt like paying, but that it wouldn’t be more than $5000. It’s deceptions like these that “we the people” need to fight by means of our democratic government. This is one of the reasons that health insurance industry regulation, like that found in the Affordable Care Act of 2009, is so important.
This list of atrocities is indisputable proof of the dark, satanic power of pure, unrestrained greed – not the greed of a sole street criminal running off with someone’s belongings, but the calculated, cold-hearted greed of rich, corporate owners and executives. This greed is every bit as pervasive today as it was 100 years ago; in fact, it’s probably more so, because a far higher percentage of Americans held religious values 100 years ago. If we let greed have its way in the name of small government, our future will likely be even more oppressive than our past. We can’t let our guard down. We must be forever vigilant against greed. Our most effective defense is our democracy in which “we the people” can choose and pressure leaders to protect us through the strong arm of the law.
This is not to say that all leaders we choose to protect us are righteous heroes. If the leaders fail, we must replace them. If the leaders steal our tax money, we must watch their every move, identify the theft, and reveal the evidence to the world. If our leaders are incompetent or inefficient, then we should replace them with leaders who do a better job. Of course, to do this, we need to know who our leaders are, not just the president, not just the U.S. congressmen, but our state and local representatives, too.
Here’s what we shouldn’t do: Don’t commit intellectual suicide by saying that all politicians are corrupt and then vote for the anti-government types who say the same. They say this because the big businesses they represent are diametrically opposed to “we the people.” There’s nothing worse for predators than when their prey have power over them. That’s what democracy does. It gives the prey power over their predators. The anti-government types hate democracy, because it keeps them from funneling tax money to corporations and enabling the corporations to exploit the working class. They want you to vote away the power of democracy, so they can increase their stranglehold on America.
Small government is both incapable and unwilling to protect its people from big business. When government is small and businesses are big, businesses effectively become the government; government obeys them, not the people. If you want to replace our big government with a small one, the only way it’ll work is if we abolish big businesses. That would mean outlawing corporate liability protection, which would make corporations go away. Our landscape would then be populated with only small businesses, and we would only need a small government to regulate them. Of course, we’d no longer be able to produce cars, planes, and major appliances or distribute gasoline, phone service, and internet service. And society as we know it would collapse. But that’s the choice we have. We either return to a primitive, agrarian, small trade society run by a small government, or we embrace a democratic government in which “we the people” have enough power to protect ourselves from corporate rule.

One Sunday at Applebee’s after church in the early 2000s, several of my young adult Sunday school classmates and I found ourselves discussing Jehovah’s Witnesses, a few of whom I had worked with on my previous job. I defended them as legitimately saved Christians, despite having theological disagreements with them.

The History of the Butterfly:
Kishkekosh
Monroe County Iowa was named Kishkeekosh County when it was first formed. The county was legally laid out by the Iowa territorial legislature in 1843 before the treaty ceeding the lands form the Sac and Fox tribes was ratified by Congress. The county was renamed to Monroe in 1846. The reason given in some of the old history books is that the earlier settlers had a problem pronouncing the name. It seems strange that Appanoose, Keokuk, Wapello, and Poweshiek did not present the same problems.
The histories of Iowa, as told by a number of the "Old Settlers" many years after the events do have some accounts of Kishkekosh.
Some accounts say he was a minor chief, and some say he was not a chief, but an important brave. He seems to have been the leader of a small village that was located near Poweshiek's.
In 1837 a number of Indians from Iowa accompanied the Indian Agent Joseph Street on a trip to Washington in an attempt to negotiate a peace treaty with Sioux Indians who had been involved in deadly battles with Poweshiek's tribe. Kishkekosh accompanied them on the trip. Although he ranked lower than most of the others on the trip, he made quite an impression. During the negotiations, Kishkekosh made an obvious display of the buffalo headdress that is shown in this painting. The government negotiators did not know it at the time, but the headdress is a symbol of power and prestige among the Sioux. It had been the property of a distinguished Sioux chief, and Kishkekosh had killed the owner and taken the headdress as a battle trophy.
Kishkekosh seemed to have interacted quite regularly with the early white settlers, and was on friendly terms with them. Some may have been more than a little intimidated by his visits, however. He did attempt to learn the white customs, particularly in the area of table manners. He also took to heart criticism that held that Indian women did all the work while the men were lazy, and got the men of his villiage to participate in what was traditionally women's work. The criticism may or may not have been valid, but it was often repeated in the writings of the settlers. With increasing reliance on annuities some of the traditional male roles may have been changing. What is usually not noted, however, is that the Indian women certainly had more say in the politics of their villages than the female white settlers did in theirs.
What may have been the last record of Kishkekosh was recorded in The History of Jasper County as follows:
"The Indians, who had reserved a strip off the west side of Jasper County, prepared to remove late in the Fall of 1845. Kishkekosh and his braves, about twenty in all, had stored their heavy articles at Red Rock during the summer, not needing them while engaged in hunting. Prior to starting west, they repaired to Red Rock and hired Mr. Mikesell to haul the goods to their camp. That night they camped where Monroe now stands. The weather was cold, and a heavy snow fell during the night. The Indians huddled together as close as they could to keep warm, and on openitn out in the morning a perfect cloud of steam arose. Part of Mikesell's oxen went astray during the night, and he followed them clear home, the snow falling fast. On returning, he found the Indians all bewildered as to the direction they should take, and it took the chief some time to ascertain the course, when the journey was resumed and the village reached that night.
Pasishamone and his band also frequented the Skunk in this county, and at the time of the removal of Kishkekosh. the former, with about half of his braves, was at Agency City on a visit. The women, children and old men went into camp four miles from Fort Des Moines to await their return, which was at the beginning of winter, when the band packed up and followed Kishkekosh and his followers."
There is no longer a Kishkekosh County in Iowa, but there is a state preserve called Kishkekosh Prairie.
Is there really a Kishkekosh County?
What about those other counties?

From La Marseillaise to Mulch: The Trajectory of the Masonic "Rights of Man"
One Stepped Over Aunty Em https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/washington-first-state-allow-burial-method-human-composting-180972020/ Dr. Chojnowski: I am not sure which analogy to use. The Revolution's crusade for "The Rights of Man" ala Tom Paine and those that have so enthusiastically followed in his wake are cascading (no cascading is too noble and grand an image), are plopping down onto the ground of the absurd. Not only is liberal democracy in Britain, in America, Canada, France, etc. showing itself to be divisive, stupid, incompetent, and nauseatingly unsatisfying, but the "human rights" and "human dignity" that has been the banner since 1776 ---- shall we site Thomas Paine's Common Sense --- is reaching such absurdity and counter-productivity that we can hardly fathom what might be the next step. In politics, the incompetence of leadership in all of the Western Nations is reaching the point of absurdity and everyone kn
World Congress of Families Fights Back Against the New Anti-Christ Europe. Italy, Russia, Hungary, Moldova and Poland Sign Up to Defend Christian Civilization.
https://edition.cnn.com/2019/03/31/europe/verona-world-congress-of-families-intl/index.html Dr. Chojnowski: In this sign of the emergence of some militant resistance to the anti-Christian anti-Natural forces that have taken over Europe over the past 30 years, the World Congress of Families has situated itself in Verona, Italy, a city which has declared itself a Pro-Life City. The article from CNN linked to above is very informative and encouraging, if you can wade through the name-calling and labeling that is their only rational argument against such a common sense movement. The "balanced" article sticks the word "hate" on the entire movement before the movement is considered in its issues and the variety of its national manifestations. As expected, the strange feminist, pro-abortion, and pro-sodomite opposition is high-lighted in this article. Thank the Good God that there are whole European nations which are rising up and saying that they will not acce
What Can the Virtue of Faith have to do with the Roman Pontiff? Here is What St. Thomas Aquinas Says.
The Harrowing of Hades St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae, II-II, Q. 1, Art. 10: Whether It Belongs to the Sovereign Pontiff to Draw Up a Symbol of Faith? Respondeo: A new edition of the symbol [creed] becomes necessary in order to set aside the errors that may arise. Consequently to publish a new edition of the symbol belongs to that authority which is empowered to decide matters of faith finally, so that they may be held by all with unshaken faith. Now this belongs to the authority of the Sovereign Pontiff to whom the more important and more difficult questions that arise in the Church are referred.... Hence our Lord said to Peter whom he made Sovereign Pontiff (Luke xxii. 32): I have prayed for thee, Peter, that thy faith fail not, and thou, being once converted, confirm thy brethren. The reason for this is that there should be but one faith of the whole Church, according to 1 Corinthian I. 10: That you all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you :
A Meditation on the Holy Shroud for Holy Saturday by a Reader.
The Holy Shroud of Turin Oh Holy Shroud, which wrapped our Divine Gift After having suffered such terrible torments Is now laid to rest on you like a bed With your soft cloth you covered His Holy Body The Holy Body which was torn and tormented His Holy Head which was pierced, struck and insulted His Holy Hands and Feet which were pierced with cruel nails His Holy Shoulder which shone purple under the weight of the Cross Oh Holy Shroud who soaked up the Precious Blood Now worth more than the universe and everyone in it. Who at last covered His poor exposed Body from the World which had caused Him so much humiliation He suffers no more He is laid to rest to rise on the third day He has gone to Hell and opened the gates of Heaven He will claim His Kingdom in the sky He will prepare a place where we will be happy He will act as mediator between God and Man But now His Body rests with you in this tomb You wrap Him like a gift, a sign that our faith is not in vai
Why is Fox News Trying to Surpress Speculation, Based On Second Hand Testimonies That The Finger of Responsibility for the Inferno at Notre-Dame Could Fall on Those Who Have Been Regularly Desecrating Churches in France and Germany?
This Really Creeps Me Out! Update Holy Saturday: New video claims that the figure is a fire fighter. Even if this is a video of a fire fighter, it does not explain the origin of the fire and why it was that Macron ruled out "terrorism" when the fire was still raging on Monday night. The "paranormal" video maker seems to have lost all interest in the possible nefarious cause of the fire and runs after Macron the Mason's statement that the cathedral shall be "rebuilt" with many "donations." I bet there is more to this fire than meets the eye. And another video taken about 1 hour and 10 minutes before the fire officially "started." Look at the video and then see comments from various individuals, some of whom are French. One says: hello i'm from france 30 min after the fire began the media told that what an accident..... we know t
Macron's Muslim Miopia: If the Notre-Dame Fire Was NOT Set By Islamists, it would be a Complete Anomaly. Read the Report of Islamic Desecration Throughout Western Europe.
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-04-15/notre-dame-burns-european-churches-are-vandalized-defecated-torched-every-day Why the Instant Call to Rebuild? Why the Immediate Denial that it was Terrorism BEFORE THE FIRE WAS EVEN NEAR OUT? Why Not Find Out WHO DID IT FIRST? St. Thomas Aquinas, when giving an example of efficient causality and the natural desire of mankind to know causes, gave the following example: If a farmer went into his cottage and found manure scattered all over the place, what would he say when he looked at the room, "Manure!" No, of course not, he would say, "Who did it?!!" All the reports surrounding the fire have been sprinkled with, "Something to do with the reconstruction." Just because the external circumstances made for the spreading of the fire that does not mean that the materials which were involved in the reconstruction CAUSED the Fire. Read the article, also, about the European media's attempt to squelch stories
"Paris will be burned" ---- Our Lady of La Salette: Collapsed Spire, Collapsed Catholic Civilization. How the Notre Dame Fire is an Image of the Real Church's Situation Today.
The Spire of Notre-Dame Collapses. "Paris will be burned." "France, Italy, Spain and England will be in war; blood will flow in the streets; Frenchman will fight with Frenchman, Italian with Italian; subsequently there will be a general war which will be appalling. For a time, God will no longer be mindful of France or Italy, because the Gospel of Jesus Christ is no longer known. The wicked will deploy all their malice." "Rome will lose the Faith and become the Seat of the Antichrist." Dr. Chojnowski: The 3 prophecies above, all coming from the Secret entrusted to Melanie by Our Lady at La Salette, seem to speak about our own day. The most important thing in Paris has now catastrophically burnt, the stage is set or it is on-going, for massive civil unrest. Frenchman is already Fighting Frenchman and Italy does not seem to be far behind. Is this the time in which, "God will no longer by mindful of France or Italy, because the

Political "Liberty" + Religious "Liberty" + Sexual "Liberty" + Marriage "Liberty" = Modern Apostate America or "Why is My Neighbor Mowing Her Lawn on Sunday?" https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/13/us/no-religion-largest-group-first-time-usa-trnd/index.html Dr. Chojnowski: Ever wonder why your neighbor seems to have no concern for the Sabbath day, when they are shopping or doing their lawn as you come back from Mass? Why does Sunday feel like another day in the America of 2019. Putting aside the 3% of the US population that can be classified as Jewish, Muslim, or Seventh-Day Adventist, we must suppose that most of the rest have ancestors who historically honored the Sunday Sabbath day. In the Connecticut of my youth, they even had "Blue Laws" that closed down stores on Sunday. If it were not for our own religious observance, Good Friday would be the most depressing of days since the population as a whole does not seem to distingui
The Blue and Brown Conspiracy: Photographic Proof that the Blue Army, the Carmelites of Coimbra, and the Bishop of Coimbra Participated in the Identity Theft of Sister Lucy of Fatima. Wait Until You See the Handwriting Evidence That is SOON to Be Posted.
Any problem here? In a book filled with dated photos and historical events which are illustrated by specific photos, here we have a clear deception. Under the general title of "Sister Lucia in the garden of the Carmel of Coimbra" we see put together undated photos of Sister Lucy II (on top) and Sister Lucy I (on the bottom). I guess we are supposed to believe the two individuals are the same because of the "in the garden" bit. Heart rendering picture of Sister Lucy I (1956) who is surrounded by pigeons which accompanied the statue of Our Lady of the Rosary that was blessed by Archbishop Fernando Cento. Upper left photo shows the Sister Lucy I with the First Image of Our Lady of Fatima. This statue was give to here in or around 1947 and then made a pilgrimage through many countries. Photo at the bottom right shows Sister Lucy I with Bishop Ernesto Sena de Oliveira, along with Mother Prioress Sr. Maria de Cristo. Since Sr. Maria de Crist
On Centenary of the Death of Francisco of Fatima, New Photographic and Soon to be Published Handwriting Evidence Fixes the Date of Sister Lucy I's Disappearance to the years 1958 to 1967. New Evidence Also Squarely Implicates the Carmelite Convent at Coimbra in the Fraud.
Francisco Marto, the Boy who Saw Our Lady at Fatima, Pray for Sister Lucy Truth as We Inch Closer to the Truth. Dr. Chojnowski: Along with being the centenary of the death of Francisco Marto of Fatima, a cousin of Sister Lucy dos Santos, it is also the second anniversary of the death of our beloved friend John Vennari. That he should die on this day shows us that God stitches together the details of our lives and even our deaths with the steady hand of His Providence in the most wonderful ways. John was devoted to Francisco and that such a man should die on the same day as did the Visionary of Fatima, an apparition to which John gave so much of his life, makes us weep with tears of gratitude. Rest in Peace John. Francisco pray for us that we may set aright the grave injustice that was perpetrated on your cousin Lucia. Our Lady promised you Heaven. Be at our side. The latest coming into Sister Lucy Truth is very important and scientifically helps to identify both the fraud of the 196

Buying Running Bibs Is Wrong. Period.
Posted on August 10, 2016 October 31, 2016 by runoutofthebox
Buying running bibs is just plain wrong. There really shouldn’t be a discussion, yet I recently found myself explaining why this is a bad practice all around.
Everyone one of these bibs is under my name.
First, if you’re selling running bibs, and you get caught, you’re going to get banned from that race. Different race committees have different rules, but don’t expect to be able to register for at least a couple years. (And if you’re buying running bibs, you may also get banned.)
Also, if you’re making any kind of profit off selling running bibs, that’s wrong on so many levels. Yes, it may be a popular race, but that doesn’t mean it’s okay to register early and then sell your bib.
Second, if you’re buying running bibs? I don’t care if it’s a sold out race. That’s why you register early. What you’re actually doing is:
Buying Running Bibs Is Cheating.
That’s right, you’re cheating. You may be as fast as a turtle running through molasses, but you are running under someone else’s name. You may be faster than the person you bought the bib from, and you’re giving that person a better time than she otherwise would have obtained. And, hey, you’re cheating yourself, because what if you run a BQ for the first time? You don’t get to use that BQ.
You’re also cheating the people that didn’t get a chance to register for the race. They played by the rules. They missed the cutoff, or didn’t register soon enough, and they said, “Oh, well. Maybe next year.” You missed the cutoff, or you didn’t register soon enough, and you said, “Forget the rules; they don’t apply to me.”
And that brings me to the last prong of my rant: while running is a sport of solitude, it is also a sport of rules, especially in races. I keep hearing, “Well, it’s not like I’m Meb, so I’m not hurting anyone! I’m just having a good time racing!” The rules are there for a reason. Imagine if you get hurt, and the organizers try to get help for you based on someone else’s registration information. Imagine if you get a qualifying time for a person who shuffles a 15-minute mile.
And there’s always the “rules apply to everyone” argument. They really do, and no one is above them. If you think you’re special enough to skirt the rules, please rethink your entire life right now.
Point being, if you want to run a race, register on time. Register early, especially if it’s a race that sells out fast. But don’t engage in buying running bibs; it’s cheating, and it’s not fair to other runners, and you are hurting people.

How to view your favourite shows without busting your budget
There’s certainly no shortage of TV channels to watch nowadays. That said, if you’re not careful, you can end up spending a small fortune on pricey subscription-based packages – and you might not even get good value for money.
However, you don’t have to bust your budget to catch the best shows and movies. By searching for the most competitive viewing offers, you can keep your spending in check while tuning into the latest entertainment programmes, and more. You can take this a step further by seeking out LED TV deals which include a built in subscription package. As well as being super-sleek, LED televisions are energy-efficient, and cheap to run, Tesco offer one of the best ranges of LED’s.
If you’re looking for a no thrills, inexpensive media streaming adapter; it’s worth taking a look at the Google Chromecast. Costing just £30, the device looks like a USB memory stick, but connects to your TV via the HDMI port. It enables you to stream movies and shows from a range of sources, including Netflix, YouTube, Google Play, Vevo, Red Bull TV and BBC iPlayer.
Alternatively, perhaps you’d prefer to turn to Roku; this California-based company sells set-top boxes and small dongles called Streaming Sticks that cost between £39.99 and £99.99. The devices provide you with access to over 750 channels, including Netflix, Sky Sports, BBC iPlayer and Demand 4.
When it comes to non-contract on demand viewing, it’s hard to beat Now TV. Powered by Sky TV, it offers a highly tailored service that you can quit at any time. Targeted at people who want to avoid the commitment of a pay TV contract, it allows you to choose from dedicated movie, TV and sports strands, and it also offers live channel streams.
You can access Now TV via both Chromecast and Roku, or you can buy a Now TV Box for £9.99.
By doing a little research, it’s easy to find a range of alternatives to expensive subscription-based TV services, meaning you can watch your favourite movies and shows without stretching your finances.

Joe O’Donnell and WEEI
July 10th, 2006 → 10:44 am @ Seth Mnookin // 7 Comments
This morning, WEEI’s “Dennis and Callahan” (with Steve DeOssie sitting in for John Dennis) had Boston Culinary Group head Joe O’Donnell on as a guest. The subject was O’Donnell and Steve Karp’s bid for the Red Sox in 2001.
DeOssie and Callahan were pushing O’Donnell about a section in my book in which I describe a trip O’Donnell and John Henry took to the Boston waterfront in January 2002, after the Red Sox had agreed to sell the team to Henry and Tom Werner but before their ownership had been finalized. At the time, O’Donnell and Henry were discussing joining forces. The section reads as follows:
At around one in the morning, O’Donnell suggested he and Karp drive Henry out to a waterfront location where they wanted to build a new ballpark for the team. Henry was sufficiently concerned about the prospect of an after-midnight trip to Boston’s waterfront that he called [financial advisor] David Ginsberg to tell him where he was headed, and with whom.
“Joe played me recordings of voicemails from the house speaker, the mayor, and another who were reacting to Joe’s losing out on the Red Sox,” Henry wrote in an email he sent to his lawyers and several of his partners that morning at 3:05 am. “He talked a lot about the sports media and the Herald being in his corner or something to that effect.” Henry told how O’Donnell had asked that he be made managing partner “if something happened to you.” “That,” Henry wrote, “was a little scary.”
DeOssie and Callahan pushed O’Donnell to sue (either me or John Henry) for libel or slander. O’Donnell, to his credit, didn’t take the bait. The hosts also kept returning to the fact that there are sections in which I recount conversations O’Donnell participated in but that I had never spoken with him.
A couple of things worth pointing out.
• I did, as O’Donnell readily acknowledged, make many efforts to get in touch with both him and Steve Karp. This is made clear in the book: “Neither O’Donnell nor Karp responded to repeated verbal and written requests for comment for this book, although close associates of both men did speak to me on background.” What’s more, O’Donnell acknowledged that even he couldn’t argue with many of the conversations I did recount: “Basically, that’s all true,” he said this morning.
• DeOssie and Callahan also ridiculed the notion that O’Donnell had the support of the local media (this after saying on air, “O’Donnell’s good, huh?”). But as O’Donnell himself said, “[Former Boston Globe columnist] Willy McDonough, who was a lifelong friend of mine, who was a good friend, was relentless in his support of Steve and me.” O’Donnell also said that he was good friends with Pat Purcell, the publisher of the Herald. That’s almost exactly what I wrote: that O’Donnell and Karp, as local bidders with longstanding ties to the community, had the support of many Boston-area columnists and that some people “in Boston media circles” thought Purcell might be hard on the Henry-Werner bid because he “was upset about the prospect of the investment of The New York Times Company, which owns The Boston Globe.”
• Later in the show, DeOssie and Callahan claimed the book said O’Donnell and Karp did not have enough money to buy the team; that’s not true. What the book does say is that lawyers involved in the sale, associates of O’Donnell and Karp, and Red Sox officials all felt that O’Donnell and Karp were not willing to put up enough of their own money to make a sale to them viable. (As I note, O’Donnell and Karp are reported to have a combined net worth of almost $2 billion.) As O’Donnell himself said on WEEI, “Steve and I, the night before the decision was to be made, Steve and I sat in a room alone around one o’clock in the morning. The real breaker in that deal, which made it tremendously clear to me and to Steve, was when [John] Harrington extended the contract to [Fenway concessionaire] Aramark for 10 more years, the food service contract. I’m not in the garbage business. We had planned that in all our numbers and we had already made those plans.”
• Finally, much is made of the fact that supposedly John Henry told me that O’Donnell and Karp had threatened his life. Nowhere in my book is anything like this printed. I do quote an email, which I take pains to say Henry sent “to his lawyers and several of his partners.” I make absolutely no reference to where I got that email, and there are no quotes from John Henry. What’s more, O’Donnell verifies virtually everything in that section (except for the sentiments expressed in the email). As he said, “When I look back on it, [Henry’s] a guy from out of town, he knows that I know everybody…he looked at me as a guy that’s connected. You know, my mother’s Italian, I never thought I was connected, you know, to the goombahs. He called me and said do you mind if I bring Ginsberg…and I said no, you can’t bring him.”
I have to give Joe O’Donnell some credit. Despite the fact that less than two pages in a 400-plus page book are being distorted in a way to gin up controversy, he tried, for the most part, to avoid adding fuel to the fire. Still, there is one thing I want to clarify about his remarks as they related to me: “First of all, this guy, Mnookin, is that his name? He called a couple of times to ask to speak off the record. I didn’t respond to him, and neither did Karp.” Not true — although I did offer, in emails, in telephone messages, and through intermediaries, to talk with him on-the-record, off-the-record, or on background, whichever he prefered. (O’Donnell also refered to me as “sketchy” and “this kid.” That is so wicked harsh!)
One other comment he did make — “If you want to sell a lot of books, i supposed you can put the other spin on it” — should actually be made in reference to the coverage of the book, not the book itself. Indeed, it’ll be interesting to see how his appearance this morning plays out.

Bring Back Pedro
Theo Epstein’s disrespect of Pedro Martinez is unforgivable. He cost the Sox a shot at the title last season, and they would be better this season if they were paying Pedro instead of Clement and Edgar.
Why does Theo get a free pass for this horrific mistake, a mistake on par with the Bambino and Rocket?
Why did people applaud when the racist young wonderboy gave big money to Matt Clement, a 30+ yr old career .500 pitcher who had never won 15 games in a season, a risky proposition at best? Why did they believe that Matt Clement was better value than the Hall of Famer who had just thrown 7 shutout innings in the world series?
Why was Jason Varitek, a player the same age as Pedro who had suffered injury in 2001 just as Pedro did, yet a player who had never played in an All-Star game, a good deal at 4 years but Pedro was not?
Why do people continue to give Theo a free pass for this disasterous mistake? No team has ever had a $130 million payroll and failed to win a single playoff game for that season, until last year. Theo was at the helm.
As Bronson Arroyo said: “If Theo didn’t have such a huge ego, and if he brought back Pedro, we would have won the AL East by 6 or 7 games last season and sure as hell would not have been swept by the White Sox.”
“Where have you gone Pedro Martinez, a nation turns its lonely hearts to you.” – Larry Lucchino
Theo, you suck.
I hope that Mnookin’s next book will be entitled:
RUNNING THE HALL OF FAMER OUT OF TOWN
How Ego and Arrogance Led to Theo Epstein Dismantling a Championship Team.
behindthepen
shockingly, the EEI crowd showed a basic misunderstading of the financial issues.
MLB and Harrington were probably concerned about selling the historic franchise to straight businessmen … the structure that ODonnell/Karp proposed smelled of a “real estate deal”, not of an investment in a baseball legend.
It wasn’t a question of whether or not O/K could come up with the cash, but they were only going to put up $150 million of the $700 million price, borrowing the rest; whereas the H/W/L group wound up putting up about $400 million of their own money.
In the end, it didn’t matter because Harrington screwed O’Donnell with the Aramark deal.
Yeah, the Sox would have won by 6-7 games had they resigned Pedro. Yeah, right.
They would not have been swept by the White Sox. OK, they would have lost in four.
First of all, the early playoff exit had more to do with Schilling’s injury than Pedro’s absence.
Second, don’t leave out the injury to Foulke, an ineffective bullpen and the lack of bats at first and second.
Third, give the White Sox credit. They were better by a mile. they did what the Red Sox did in ’04.
GET OVER IT!!
PEDRO IS DONE. HE WANTED TO LEAVE THE AL EAST BECAUSE THE YANKEES OWN HIM.
IT WAS HIS DECISION!!
You cannot run a ballclub when you overpay to aging, oft-injured players. HE IS NOT WORTH WHAT THE METS GAVE HIM.
DID YOU MISS HIS RETURN TO FENWAY. DID YOU NOT SEE THAT HE’S BACK ON THE DL?
He was great in his day, but his day is DONE.
He MIGHT have helped last year, but then the Red Sox would be paying him for the next THREE YEARS to sit on the DL.
Maybe Clement wasn’t the best choice, but there wasn’t much available.
Pedro Martinez has allowed 3 runs in 22 innings against the Yankees since leaving. So much for that excuse.
You are correct, there was not much available in 2004, which means Pedro’s value was even greater than what the Mets offered.
How come no Mets fan will say that they overpaid for Pedro? Only Sox fans? Could it be that Sox fans are making excuses for one of the worst moves in team history?
Mets overpaid for Pedro the way the Yankees overpaid for Babe Ruth and Reggie Jackson.
Theo is to blame.
Pedro: The Mets knew what Pedro was really worth, probably about what the RS figured. But they overpaid because they had extra value from Pedro: more butts in the seats, more hype around the team, buzz about the new TV network, get more free agents to come to NY Mets. All of which was worth for them to overpay him even given his diminishing returns. Only if the above didn’t happen for the Mets was it a bad investment, which of course it turned out good for them. The RS didn’t have that extra value with Pedro, so he was only valued at what he could do on the field. Don’t think Pedro didn’t know all this, he did and his agent did too.
The issue with stars leaving is that the fans think that the players will perform at the highest level for the length of any contract, regardless of their age. Not typically true. Let’s see Johnny and Pedro in the last year or two of their contracts and see what the end result is. I hated losing Johnny but I understand he wasn’t worth the money the Yankees can afford to pay. It’s always about the money, forget the hometown discount and the “goodwill” for the club by keeping aging stars.

Victory for disability advocates: Supreme Court won’t hear Domino’s Pizza accessibility case
Posted on October 16, 2019 October 16, 2019 by Jesse Fryburg
By Kelly Tyko, USA TODAY | Published 9:56 p.m. ET Oct. 7, 2019
The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to not hear Domino’s petition on whether its website is accessible to the disabled is considered a loss for the pizza giant and a win for disability advocates.
The case was one of a long list of those the Supreme Court announced it wouldn’t hear, and as is usual the high court made no comment in declining to take the case. Monday was the Supreme Court’s first day of arguments after its summer break.
The order to not hear the case keeps in place a January ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled that Domino’s and other retailers must make its online services accessible. It also means the case is expected to go to trial.
“Although Domino’s is disappointed that the Supreme Court will not review this case, we look forward to presenting our case at the trial court,” Domino’s said in a statement posted on its website Monday. “We also remain steadfast in our belief in the need for federal standards for everyone to follow in making their websites and mobile apps accessible.”

Guillermo Robles, who is blind, claimed in U.S. District Court in California that the pizza maker violated the federal disability requirements because he couldn’t order a pizza on his iPhone: The website didn’t work with his screen-reader software.
“In today’s tech-savvy world, blind and visually-impaired people have the ability to access websites and mobile applications using keyboards in conjunction with screen access software that vocalizes the visual information found on a computer screen or displays the content on a refreshable Braille display,” the lawsuit argued.
In January, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Domino’s and other retailers must make its online services accessible.
Robles’ attorney, Joe Manning, said in a statement to CNBC Monday that the Supreme Court’s decision was “the right call on every level.”
“The blind and visually impaired must have access to websites and apps to fully and equally participate in modern society – something nobody disputes,” he said. “This outcome furthers that critical objective for them and is a credit to our society.”
Domino’s along with the National Retail Federation and Retail Litigation Center urged the Supreme Court to hear the case because the appeal court’s ruling “stretched the definition too far by deciding that websites and mobile applications must be judged as public accommodations rather than just considered as one of many ways in which a consumer might access a retailer’s offerings.”
According to the pizza company, a customized pizza can be ordered in-store, by phone, text, social media and voice-activated devices like Alexa and Google Home. Domino’s says it is developing a proprietary voice-ordering digital assistant, Dom.
“With a growing number of website accessibility cases being filed and conflicting rulings from circuit courts across the country, this is an issue that needs the clarity of a Supreme Court ruling,” said Stephanie Martz, the retail federation’s senior vice president and general counsel, in a statement. “Without guidance on what rules should apply, litigation will continue to divert resources from actually making websites accessible.”
Domino’s said in its statement that a nationwide standard would “eliminate the tsunami of website accessibility litigation that has been filed by plaintiffs’ lawyers exploiting the absence of a standard for their own benefit.”
Wall Street Journal Quotes NOD’s Howard Green On Power of Eye Tracking Technology
Posted on October 11, 2019 by Jesse Fryburg
Doctors Look to Eye-Tracking to Improve Care
Startups are using technology that follows the movement of the eye to diagnose nearsightedness and help people with disabilities.
David M. Ewalt
From the Wall Street Journal
For Pat Quinn, eye-tracking technology is a lifeline to the world. Mr. Quinn, who suffers from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, is almost completely paralyzed. To speak, write, change the television channel or turn on the lights in his Yonkers, N.Y., home, he flicks his eyes over a computer screen. The device has an infrared camera below the display; he can “click” on files, links or letters on a keyboard by looking at them.
“I honestly don’t know how patients remained active without this. I use it every second I am awake,” said Mr. Quinn, 36, through a voice synthesizer. Mr. Quinn works as an advocate for patients with ALS; in 2014, he co-created the “Ice Bucket Challenge,” a viral social-media campaign that raised $115 million for research into ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, according to the ALS Association.
Mr. Quinn’s device is one example of how eye-tracking technology is surfacing in the medical field. Health care professionals are beginning to use it to teach medical students, improve surgeries and diagnose issues such as nearsightedness. One day, the technology may even help treat eye diseases.
Assistive computers and speech-generating devices like Mr. Quinn’s are not new. The physicist Stephen Hawking used one for decades, but that device and most others like it required patients to select words using a joystick or physical switch. Mr. Hawking controlled his computer by twitching a cheek muscle, a painstaking method that made it increasingly difficult to communicate as his disease progressed.
In contrast, Mr. Quinn’s device, made by Stockholm-based Tobii, is quicker, more accurate and easier to operate, says the company. Tobii was founded in 2001 after John Elvesjö, then an engineering student, built a computerized camera that could count bubbles in liquids. After realizing it could also track his pupils, he began developing an eye-tracking system that could control a computer. The team initially positioned its system for use in scientific research but quickly identified a market in health care. “We had experts approach us at trade shows and conferences saying, ‘Do you understand how much good this could do for people with disabilities?’” said Henrik Eskilsson, chief executive and co-founder.
“Going into the 21st century, this technology will allow people with all kinds of disorders to go to work when they hadn’t been able to do that in the past,” said Howard Green, deputy director of professional services for the National Organization on Disability.

The technology faces some hurdles to mainstream adoption, including the price. Tobii’s flagship speech-generating devices, like the one Mr. Quinn uses, retail for $14,000. Most patients are able to subsidize that cost using private health insurance or Medicare, the company says.
Consumers may balk at the potential invasion of privacy. But, experts say, eye-tracking devices only “see” the area around the eyes in near-infrared, and use that to calculate the coordinates of the user’s gaze. They don’t save or transmit images, so they can’t be used for spying. A computer equipped with eye-tracking hardware knows what you type or what you click, similar to a computer equipped with a keyboard or mouse.
Eye-tracking technology has been around for decades, but the devices were complicated, said Werner Goertz, senior director at the market research firm Gartner Inc. Today, companies such as Tobii are selling technology that allows other companies to add eye-tracking capabilities to their own products, allowing startups in industries including health care, retail, automotive and consumer electronics to test it out. “You just buy it off the shelf and stick your own application on top of it,” said Mr. Goetz.
One Tobii customer, Atlanta-based ControlRad, says it has developed a system that uses eye-tracking hardware to help control X-ray scanners, reducing patient and doctor radiation exposure during surgery. Typically, when surgeons X-ray patients during procedures, they must constantly scan a region of the body with large doses of radiation to produce high-resolution images. ControlRad’s product uses low-dose radiation on the body, focusing the high-energy radiation only at the point where the doctor is looking. The company is seeking approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and hopes to release the system next year.
Medical schools are also using eye-tracking devices to help teach future doctors. At the German Heart Center in Berlin, instructors wear glasses equipped with eye-tracking cameras while they perform complicated procedures including heart-bypass surgeries. Students watching the operation on a monitor can see what the doctor is looking at, without stopping the procedure to gesture or point.
Other eye-tracking applications are used for diagnosis. The Israeli company NovaSight sells a vision-assessment system that requires patients wear LCD glasses and watch 20- to 60-second videos on an eye-tracking tablet. The test can identify vision impairments including myopia, or nearsightedness, as well as color blindness and contrast sensitivity, according to Moshe Barel, vice president of sales and marketing. NovaSight has signed an agreement with Essilor International, the French ophthalmic optics company, to sell the product to hospitals and vision clinics.
Custom Parts: The Future of Transplanted Organs
Demand for donated organs far outstrips supply. But researchers are working to remedy the crisis using everything from gene-edited pigs to 3D-printed tissue.
NovaSight’s product could help address weaknesses of current vision screenings, which do not mimic real life, said Dr. Rajat Agrawal, an ophthalmologist and chief executive of the eye-health nonprofit Retina Global. “You sit in a room with controlled lighting and look at a chart at a fixed distance while your head is still,” he said. Watching videos on a tablet replicates a more natural, real-world activity and doesn’t require the user to self-report. “It could play a significant role in years ahead in terms of visual screening,” said Dr. Agrawal, who is not affiliated with NovaSight.
Researchers at Texas Tech University and the University of Massachusetts, Boston, have used eye-tracking headsets to study autism spectrum disorders in children. When most children look at another person’s face, their gaze tends to focus on the eyes and nose; autistic children’s gazes wander. The research could eventually lead to systems that allow doctors to identify neurological impairments in children who might otherwise be too young to diagnose.
The next step for eye-tracking systems may be the treatment of disease. NovaSight is testing hardware that it hopes will be able to cure amblyopia, better known as lazy eye. Standard treatments require patients to wear an eyepatch for months so their affected eye gets stronger with use. With NovaSight’s system, they watch a few minutes of videos every day on a tablet equipped with eye-tracking hardware. The videos are precisely blurred so the patient’s lazy eye has to compensate, according to the company. Mr. Barel said the system has passed a small clinical trial in Israel and will undergo a larger trial in the U.S. next year.
Mr. Goetz of Gartner expects more eye-tracking products to hit the market in 2020, thanks to the increased availability of low-cost hardware and basic technology that is safe and reliable. Meanwhile, Mr. Quinn remains an evangelist for his eye-tracking tablet. “I’m still growing and having amazing moments in my life, and I couldn’t do it without this technology,” he said.

Supreme Court allows blind people to sue retailers if their websites are not accessible

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court cleared the way Monday for blind people to sue Domino’s Pizza and other retailers if their websites are not accessible.
In a potentially far-reaching move, the justices turned down an appeal from Domino’s and let stand a U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling holding that the Americans With Disabilities Act protects access not just to restaurants and stores but also to the websites and apps of those businesses.
Guillermo Robles, who is blind, filed suit in Los Angeles three years ago and complained he had been unable to order a pizza online because the Domino’s website lacked the software that would allow him to communicate. He cited the ADA, which guarantees to persons with a disability “full and equal enjoyment of the goods and services … of any place of public accommodations.”
Lawyers for Domino’s agreed the provision applied to its bricks-and-mortar pizza locations, but not its website.
Last year, however, the 9th Circuit ruled for Robles and said the law applied to its online services as well as the stores.
“The ADA mandates that places of public accommodation, like Domino’s, provide auxiliary aids and services to make visual materials available to individuals who are blind,” the appeals court said in January.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and business groups that said they represented 500,000 restaurants and 300,000 businesses joined in an appeal urging the high court to review the 9th Circuit’s decision. They complained of a “tsunami of litigation” and worried that judges nationwide would see the appeals court’s decision as “imposing a nationwide website-accessibility mandate.”
But without comment or dissent on Monday, the high court said it would not hear the case of Domino’s Pizza vs. Robles.
This is not a formal ruling upholding the 9th Circuit decision, and the justices could agree to take up the issue later if lower courts are divided. But for now, the court’s action strongly suggests that retailers will be required to make their websites accessible.
Joseph R. Manning Jr., a Newport Beach lawyer who represented Robles, said the high court made “the right call. There can be no debate that the blind and visually impaired require accessible websites and mobile apps to function on an equal footing in the modern world.”
Mark Whitley, president of Easterseals Southern California, praised the high court for “supporting the values … the ADA was built upon.”
Domino’s and the National Retail Federation issued statements saying they were disappointed in the court’s refusal to hear the case. The 9th Circuit sent the case back to a district judge in Los Angeles to decide whether Robles suffered discrimination.
“We look forward to presenting our case at the trial court. We also remain steadfast in our belief in the need for federal standards for everyone to follow in making their websites and mobile apps accessible,” Domino’s said its statement.

These are the leading disability employers in 2019
These employers are dedicated to disability inclusion and recognize the benefits of hiring workers with disabilities.
October 1, 2019 | Lily Martis, Monster contributor
While October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month, unemployment for adults with disabilities is an epidemic in the workforce that’s seen all year, every year.
The unemployment rate for workers with disabilities in 2018, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), was 8%—more than double that for those with no disability. While the unemployment rate for workers with disabilities has declined over the years—it was 14.5% in 2009, when the unemployment rate for persons with a disability was first reported by the BLS—there is still much more that needs to be done to help workers with disabilities find jobs.
Fortunately, some best-in-class employers are already leading the way in disability inclusion in the workplace. Every year, the National Organization on Disability (NOD) recognizes these top employers with a seal for not only leading the way in disability inclusion, but also for tapping into the many benefits that come with hiring talent with disabilities, which include high rates of productivity, strong dedication, and greater engagement at work.

Designing for Multitouch Tables and Surfaces
We’ve spent a good chunk of the past two years developing multitouch tables and tabletop exhibits. While multitouch tables are often the first choice for museums and collaborative spaces, designing exhibits for collaborative tabletop spaces presents a unique set of design challenges. Many first-time tabletop designers (including us!) make the same mistakes when designing such interfaces, as the majority of interactive and web-based exhibits up to this point have been single-user, handheld or kiosk devices.
A few things we’ve learned:
1)Don’t forget that the table is omni-directional.
On handheld devices, you can count on the user viewing the screen from a certain perspective, so you can anchor your navigation bar and other elements accordingly. On tables, visitors can approach from any side, so it’s important that the interface compensate. Making elements rotate can be a good way to compensate for this. Navigation elements can be made to “float” so that they can be moved and rotated also or mirrored on both sides of the table to ensure visitors have equal access. If you do decide to make a table exhibit strongly directional, make sure its placement in the gallery encourages visitors to come up to the right side.
2) Individual control of objects encourages multi-user interaction
To make an exhibit truly multi-user, it’s important that several people can participate at the same time. We’ve found that creating multiple objects that visitors can control individually promotes simultaneous interaction. Many of our exhibits use image and video objects that can be zoomed, dragged, rotated, and flipped to reveal more information, and this type of object will be available as a module when Open Exhibits core is released! But the principle can be extended to any type of object, as long as applications also . . .
3) Promote collaboration (founded in healthy competition)
Some objects, especially ones that affect the entire interface (the orb that allows you to change the map view in our mapping applications is a good example), will need to be unique to prevent visitors fighting for control of the interface. We’ve found that including one or two unique objects promotes collaboration due to, not in spite of, the scarcity of the objects. And making such elements dynamic (draggable, rotatable, etc.) makes sharing easier from a practical standpoint. We’ve seen visitors politely ask for control of the magnifier that we built for Oakland Museum or silently pass it to a new arrival. The fact that there is a small amount of competition for the solitary control object encourages visitors to interact with each other as well as the exhibit.

The Kobolds are Coming!
OK, so maybe my cover needs a little work...
Today I decided to try and get Revenge of the Kobolds finally out the door. It's been sitting on my drive for some time, and I think it's time it get some air and some feedback on whether the mechanic I put together actually works.
Here is the intro:
For as long as you can remember, you have been victims. Even after reducing the senseless attacks on nearby villages and trying to lead a peaceful, isolated life they still came. Every few weeks another group of “heroes” would barge in to your lair just because it was there, and they would not hesitate to try and kill everyone in sight and take all the precious things you’ve struggled to collect. Sometimes your clan was able to beat them back, but other times you simply weren’t so lucky. When your clan is going on their ninth chieftain in the last six months, you know you have a problem.
Most of the time you and your group of warriors were there to try and fight them, and sometimes you managed to kill one or two of them before having to inevitably retreat, but now it’s different. It’s as if they waited for you - the clan’s latest and most highly trained protectors - to leave on a routine scouting trip so they can waltz in and ravage your lair. The ninth chieftain and the remainder of your clan didn’t stand a chance this time.
Enough is enough! Your clan may have been decimated (again) and your latest leader may be dead, but there is no way you are going to let these paltry “heroes” get away with it this time. It’s time to go in there to take your lair back, and show these gutless intruders what a proud, fearless kobold is truly capable of!
Revenge of the Kobolds is a Dungeon and Dragons™ 4th Edition “challenge” adventure designed for between four and six 1st level characters. This adventure is designed similar in concept to the Lair Assault series of mini-adventures published by Wizards of the Coast. It is designed to be used within a single game session with characters specifically made for this challenge.
In this adventure the players are all kobolds who return to their lair only to find it occupied by “heroes”. They must reclaim their home by killing every intruder they find.
I would have published it already but it lacks art. Not for the PDF that is... I don't have any art for the listing on Drive thru RPG. So I'm going to spend a day and see what I (or someone else that's willing) can come up with.
As promised here, I intend to also release this product FOR FREE here and on Drive Thru RPG.
Once I get this out of the way, I can focus entirely on Return of the Crystal Scion (for Pathfinder) and an extra-special secret project that I'm hoping to complete for early April.
Stay tuned... The kobolds are coming in a matter of days!

This is a very nice idea. I’ve not really played Pathfinder, but the idea of short challenge based adventures is one that intrigues me. I’ll be checking this out when it’s ready. Good luck…

The First African American to Win a Gold Medal in the Olympics
The year was 1936. Adolf Hitler had recently been appointed Chancellor of Germany, and would go on to lead the country into World War II. In the United States, the Great Depression was still very much a reality for many people. And in Berlin, Germany, the Summer Olympics were about to begin.
One of the athletes competing in those Olympics was a young man named Jesse Owens. A talented track and field star, Owens had already broken numerous world records. But he was about to make history in a different way; he would become the first African American to win a gold medal in the Olympics.
Owens' achievements came at a time when discrimination against black athletes was still rampant. In the United States, many black athletes were segregated into their own athletic leagues and associations, such as the Negro National League in baseball and the National Basketball League (which later merged with the NBA). Black athletes were also often excluded from hotels, restaurants, and other public places while on road trips with their teams.
But Owens persevered, and his performance in Berlin was nothing short of extraordinary. In addition to winning gold in the 100 meter dash, he also won gold in the 200 meter dash, long jump, and 4x100 meter relay. His achievements were all the more remarkable given that he was competing against racists who believed that blacks were inferior to whites athletically. By defeating them on the world's biggest stage, Owens proved them wrong.
Jesse Owens' historic achievements in Berlin helped break down racial barriers not only in sports, but in society at large. He paved the way for future generations of black athletes, and his legacy continues to inspire people all over the world. The next time you watch Olympic track and field events, remember Jesse Owens and what he accomplished against all odds.
What was Hitler's goal in hosting the 1936 Olympic Games?
Hitler's Olympic Ambitions: What was Hitler's goal in hosting the 1936 Olympic Games? How did Hitler position the 1936 Olympics? What did Hitler do at the 1936 Olympics? Why Was the 1936 Olympics Important?
The 1936 Summer Olympics, held in Berlin, were a unique case in the history of the modern Olympic Games. It was the first—and, to date, only—time that the games were awarded to a city that had not yet built the necessary infrastructure. Furthermore, the games were scheduled for just six months after the International Olympic Committee made its selection, which left little time for preparation. There was also the small matter of a global economic depression to contend with. All of these factors meant that the organizers had their work cut out for them.
But there was one other, more important factor that set the 1936 Olympics apart from all those that came before it: Adolf Hitler. The games were awarded to Berlin shortly after Hitler and his Nazi Party came to power in Germany, and Hitler saw them as an opportunity to showcase his new regime to the world. In the months leading up to the games, he poured millions of Reichmarks into their preparation and used them as a platform to spread Nazi propaganda. He also took steps to ensure that Jewish athletes would be excluded from the German team.
When the games finally arrived, Hitler used them to further his own political goals. He opened them with a speech hailing "the peaceful intent of athletic competition" and proclaiming that "sport has no boundaries." But his actions spoke louder than his words. He spent most of his time at the games avoiding contact with foreign dignitaries, instead using them as an opportunity to meet with military leaders and plan for future wars.
The 1936 Summer Olympics were unlike any that came before or have come since. They were awarded to a city that was not yet ready to host them, and they were overseen by a dictator who saw them as an opportunity to further his own political goals. As a result, they left a complicated legacy that is still being debated by historians today.
Which African Americans won Medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics?
African American Athletes Who Won Medals at the 1936 Olympics
The 1936 Summer Olympics, held in Berlin, Germany, was a controversial event due to the policies of the German government under Adolf Hitler. The Third Reich had only been in power for three years at the time of the Games, and their racist policies were well-known. In spite of this, a number of African American athletes chose to participate in the Olympics and ended up winning medals. Here is a list of those athletes and their accomplishments.
Jesse Owens - Gold (100 meters, 200 meters, 4 x 100 meter relay)
Born in 1913 in Danville, Alabama, Jesse Owens was one of the most successful track and field athletes of his generation. He set three world records and tied another at the 1935 Big Ten track meet. This attracted the attention of Adolf Hitler, who saw Owens as an example of "Aryan supremacy." However, Owens went on to win four gold medals at the 1936 Olympics, dealing a blow to Nazi propaganda. He later said that Hitler "didn't snub me—it was FDR who snubbed me. The president didn't even send me a telegram."
Jesse Owens retired from athletics in 1941 and died in 1980 at the age of 66.
Ralph Metcalfe - Gold (4 x 100 meter relay), Silver (100 meters)
Ralph Metcalfe was born in 1910 in Chicago. He competed in both track and field events and won two gold medals as part of the 4 x 100 meter relay team at the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. He also won a silver medal in the 100 meter dash at those same Games. Four years later, he again won gold as part of the 4 x 100 meter relay team and added a silver medal in the 200 meter dash. Ralph Metcalfe retired from athletics in 1938 and died in 1978 at the age of 68.
Eulace Peacock - Bronze (100 meters)Eulace Peacock was born in 1913 in Trenton, New Jersey. He set several world records during his career but never won an Olympic medal—until 1936. Peacock finished third in the 100 meter dash at the Berlin Games, winning a bronze medal. It would prove to be his only Olympic medal; he did not compete at the 1940 or 1944 Games due to injuries sustained during a car accident. Eulace Peacock died in 1983 at the age of 70.
These are just some of the African American athletes who won medals at the 1936 Summer Olympics despite competing under difficult circumstances. Their achievements are all the more impressive when you consider what they had to overcome both on and off the playing field. These athletes made history and paved the way for future generations of black athletes who would follow in their footsteps.

Frequently asked Questions about TeknoAXE music and how to use the music.
Postby TeknoAXE » Wed Jun 08, 2016 7:43 pm
While the overall change of the site is now here, I would like to present a list of goals that I have for the site. This is both for your information and for my reference, so I can reference what I need to do if I put down the development of the site for a while:
1) New patreon page. This is contingent on the Patreon API being clarified. I plan on making use of this API to automatically put a list of Patreon sponsors on my website in a Sponsors section and also on the front page as well. Right now, I'm able to get some sort of data from the API, but I haven't been able to parse it correctly.
2) Integrated forums. Right now, people can see user submitted content from the forums, but I would like to go a step further and complete a sort of website shell around the PHPBB3 coding. This would mean that people could make posts and respond to posts directly on the site, if they're logged in, rather than having to go to the forum to use these features. I would also probably include a registration and login feature, as well as a message page for private message communication between users, among other things. The main challenge here is accounting for all the variables of the phpbb3 code.
3) Search Engine. I've been getting this request for a while and I will have that search engine up and running eventually.
4) Song Identification. I want a way for people to come to my site with a snippet of music and be able to identify and directly go to the link page of that track. This would help people immensely if a user of my music doesn't directly link to the specific track that they used.
5) Twitch Radio or Streaming Radio. I believe that my site will be more entertaining if there were long form broadcasts of my music or video game footage using my music. Twitch seems like it is heading towards allowing people to provide continuous broadcasts of music, so I feel like I can probably make use of that and have people visit the site just for that alone.

A Denomination is Division
03/07/19 - East Lauderdale News
Last week we learned from Webster's Dictionary that a denomination is, "a sect, class, or division" and a sect is, "a party dissenting from an established or parent church; a denomination." Is denominationalism, division, sectarianism sinful? What do the Scriptures teach?
The Scriptures warn us concerning division. Jesus said, "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits" (Matthew 7:15-16). Jesus also said, "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect" (Matthew 24:24). Jesus again said, "Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up" (Matthew 15:13). The Psalmist says, "Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it" (Psalms 127:1).
The apostle Paul said, "For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them" (Acts 20:29-30). "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy" (I Timothy 4:1-2). "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God" (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4). Now notice what Paul says this time, "Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions, and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them" (Romans 16:17).
The apostle Peter said, "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of" (2 Peter 2:1-2). The apostle John said, "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world" (I John 4:1).
Denominationalism is division and the Word of God teaches that division is sinful! It’s a work of the flesh. Notice what Paul says, "Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: ...dissensions, factions" (Galatians 5:19-20). Dissension is, "lit., a standing apart, hence a dissension, division, is translated "seditions" in Gal. 5:20, A.V." (W.E. Vine). A faction is "a self-willed opinion, which is substituted for submission to the power of truth, and leads to division and the formation of sects, Gal. 5:20 (marg., "parties")" (W.E. Vine).
Are you a part of denominationalism? If you are, please understand that you are in sin. The Word of God says, "they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God" (Galatians 5:21). "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord" (2 Corinthians 6:17). | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1727 | {"url": "http://www.anderson-church.org/bible-study/articles/2019/03/07/a-denomination-is-division", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.anderson-church.org", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:03:47Z", "digest": "sha1:HHQNB5WOSXKZHG3IFV5XB67SH4IUNCDG"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3354, 3354.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3354, 4260.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3354, 8.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3354, 58.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3354, 0.94]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3354, 310.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3354, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3354, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3354, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3354, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3354, 0.35917313]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3354, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3354, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3354, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3354, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3354, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3354, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3354, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3354, 0.00965997]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3354, 0.01738794]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3354, 0.01391036]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3354, 0.01550388]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3354, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3354, 0.29328165]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3354, 0.48837209]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3354, 4.62969589]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3354, 0.00129199]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3354, 5.13817923]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3354, 559.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 27, 0.0], [27, 59, 0.0], [59, 332, 1.0], [332, 967, 1.0], [967, 1963, 1.0], [1963, 2518, 1.0], [2518, 3067, 1.0], [3067, 3354, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 27, 0.0], [27, 59, 0.0], [59, 332, 0.0], [332, 967, 0.0], [967, 1963, 0.0], [1963, 2518, 0.0], [2518, 3067, 0.0], [3067, 3354, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 27, 4.0], [27, 59, 4.0], [59, 332, 41.0], [332, 967, 103.0], [967, 1963, 173.0], [1963, 2518, 96.0], [2518, 3067, 87.0], [3067, 3354, 51.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 27, 0.0], [27, 59, 0.22222222], [59, 332, 0.0], [332, 967, 0.02871622], [967, 1963, 0.01798942], [1963, 2518, 0.01132075], [2518, 3067, 0.02231237], [3067, 3354, 0.0260223]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 27, 0.0], [27, 59, 0.0], [59, 332, 0.0], [332, 967, 0.0], [967, 1963, 0.0], [1963, 2518, 0.0], [2518, 3067, 0.0], [3067, 3354, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 27, 0.11111111], [27, 59, 0.09375], [59, 332, 0.02197802], [332, 967, 0.02992126], [967, 1963, 0.02309237], [1963, 2518, 0.02162162], [2518, 3067, 0.03642987], [3067, 3354, 0.03484321]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3354, 0.96014851]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3354, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3354, 0.40760833]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3354, 18.45835033]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3354, -15.71815404]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3354, -76.62705994]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3354, 37.0]]} |
Paper: Magnetic Fields on the Dynamics of the ICM
Authors: Gonçalves, Denise R.; Friaça, Amâncio C. S.
Abstract: Could the discrepancies found in the determination of mass in clusters of galaxies, from gravitational lensing data and from X-rays observations, be consequence of the standard description of the ICM, in which it is assumed hydrostatic equilibrium maintained by thermal pressure? In analogy to the interstellar medium of the Galaxy, it is expected a non-thermal term of pressure, which contains contributions of magnetic fields. We follow the evolution of the ICM, considering a term of magnetic pressure, aiming at answering the question whether or not these discrepancies can be explained via non-thermal terms of pressure. Our results suggest that the magnetic pressure could only affect the dynamics of the ICM on scales as small as la 1 {kpc}. These results are compared to the observations of large and small scale magnetic fields and we are successful at reproducing the available data. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1728 | {"url": "http://www.aspbooks.org/a/volumes/article_details/?paper_id=17754", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.aspbooks.org", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:18:31Z", "digest": "sha1:35ZYXMBRPQN5ODTYVJZ2N7XY7MZQ46AY"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1006, 1006.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1006, 2228.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1006, 3.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1006, 27.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1006, 0.91]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1006, 260.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1006, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1006, 0.00198807]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1006, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1006, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1006, 0.39247312]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1006, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1006, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1006, 0.04606061]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1006, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1006, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1006, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1006, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1006, 0.03636364]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1006, 0.03878788]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1006, 0.03878788]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1006, 0.04301075]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1006, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1006, 0.1344086]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1006, 0.57861635]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1006, 5.18867925]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1006, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1006, 4.17594417]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1006, 159.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 50, 0.0], [50, 103, 1.0], [103, 1006, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 50, 0.0], [50, 103, 0.0], [103, 1006, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 50, 9.0], [50, 103, 8.0], [103, 1006, 142.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 50, 0.0], [50, 103, 0.0], [103, 1006, 0.00112994]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 50, 0.0], [50, 103, 0.0], [103, 1006, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 50, 0.14], [50, 103, 0.1509434], [103, 1006, 0.01882614]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1006, 0.67814022]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1006, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1006, 0.09039193]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1006, -7.38143631]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1006, 10.27318053]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1006, 5.93936109]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1006, 8.0]]} |

Obama’s Rhetoric Is the Real ‘Catastrophe’
Posted by Sophist in Uncategorized
President Barack Obama has turned fearmongering into an art form. He has repeatedly raised the specter of another Great Depression. First, he did so to win votes in the November election. He has done so again recently to sway congressional votes for his stimulus package.
In his remarks, every gloomy statistic on the economy becomes a harbinger of doom. As he tells it, today’s economy is the worst since the Great Depression. Without his Recovery and Reinvestment Act, he says, the economy will fall back into that abyss and may never recover.
This fearmongering may be good politics, but it is bad history and bad economics. It is bad history because our current economic woes don’t come close to those of the 1930s. At worst, a comparison to the 1981-82 recession might be appropriate. Consider the job losses that Mr. Obama always cites. In the last year, the U.S. economy shed 3.4 million jobs. That’s a grim statistic for sure, but represents just 2.2% of the labor force. From November 1981 to October 1982, 2.4 million jobs were lost — fewer in number than today, but the labor force was smaller. So 1981-82 job losses totaled 2.2% of the labor force, the same as now.
Job losses in the Great Depression were of an entirely different magnitude. In 1930, the economy shed 4.8% of the labor force. In 1931, 6.5%. And then in 1932, another 7.1%. Jobs were being lost at double or triple the rate of 2008-09 or 1981-82.
This was reflected in unemployment rates. The latest survey pegs U.S. unemployment at 7.6%. That’s more than three percentage points below the 1982 peak (10.8%) and not even a third of the peak in 1932 (25.2%). You simply can’t equate 7.6% unemployment with the Great Depression.
Other economic statistics also dispel any analogy between today’s economic woes and the Great Depression. Real gross domestic product (GDP) rose in 2008, despite a bad fourth quarter. The Congressional Budget Office projects a GDP decline of 2% in 2009. That’s comparable to 1982, when GDP contracted by 1.9%. It is nothing like 1930, when GDP fell by 9%, or 1931, when GDP contracted by another 8%, or 1932, when it fell yet another 13%.
Auto production last year declined by roughly 25%. That looks good compared to 1932, when production shriveled by 90%. The failure of a couple of dozen banks in 2008 just doesn’t compare to over 10,000 bank failures in 1933, or even the 3,000-plus bank (Savings & Loan) failures in 1987-88. Stockholders can take some solace from the fact that the recent stock market debacle doesn’t come close to the 90% devaluation of the early 1930s.
Mr. Obama’s analogies to the Great Depression are not only historically inaccurate, they’re also dangerous. Repeated warnings from the White House about a coming economic apocalypse aren’t likely to raise consumer and investor expectations for the future. In fact, they have contributed to the continuing decline in consumer confidence that is restraining a spending pickup. Beyond that, fearmongering can trigger a political stampede to embrace a “recovery” package that delivers a lot less than it promises. A more cool-headed assessment of the economy’s woes might produce better policies.

A few months ago I mentioned - only semi-jokingly - to Tom and the kids that I wanted a Katniss cake for my birthday. I'd forgotten all about that request, but Hallie remembered, and in the days leading up to my birthday she repeatedly reminded me to remind Tom that he was responsible for a Katniss cake. (I'm not sure why Hallie didn't just cut me out of the middle and remind her daddy herself...I suppose that would have been too easy.)
Though the cake that Tom and the kids presented me with wasn't at all what I'd expected or originally envisioned, it was lovely (in the sense that I could tell the three of them spent a lot of time and put a lot of effort into its decoration) just the same. See for yourself.
It you look closely (and you have to look VERY closely) you can see the words "Happy Birth Day" ("Birth" and "Day" are in completely different areas of the cake), a picture of Katniss, a tree, a heart, and all three of their initials. Also, the Oreo cookies in the center of the cake are supposed to be Katniss' archery target.
Beautiful, right?
Katniss, with a boo-teauful braid and
holding her bow and arrow.
"Happy"
"Birth"
"Day"
"D" (for Dad) is in green on the left, "W" (for Will) is in black in the
middle, and the heart and "H" (for Hallie) are in red on the right.
I've already warned the three of them that next year I'd like a Twilight birthday cake, so it would be best if they started sharpening their cake decorating skills now.

Take It Like A Mom (book review)
A preschool snack with no dairy products, no nuts, no eggs, no tomatoes…if you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen. OR, just suck it up and take it like a mom!
Stephanie Stiles’ Annie is trying to do just that. Once a well-dressed and well-respected businesswoman, she now finds herself at the bottom of the heap—namely, a heap of children’s clothing, allergen-free recipe responsibilities, a newly-unemployed husband, oh, and her ever-growing baby belly.
Take It Like A Mom is so relatable. Other than a few exaggerated stories—which are hilarious—I may have mistaken it for non-fiction!
Any new mom (oh hell, experienced moms too) will find familiarity and humor in these pages. Stiles does an excellent job of making the dull everyday life of a stay-at-home mom into a droll tale of daily adventures.
Take It Like A Mom is an entertaining and easy read that anyone would enjoy.
Stephanie Stiles is a professor, an author and, of course, a mom who lives with her husband and children in New Jersey.

Exodus Cry is built on a foundation of prayer and is committed to abolishing sex slavery through Christ-centered prevention, intervention, and holistic restoration of trafficking victims.
Human trafficking has truly become a global threat to vulnerable men, women, and children worldwide. It is an injustice that affects millions of people every year on every continent and at all socioeconomic levels. The latest global estimate according to the International Labor Organization (the United Nations agency that deals with global labor issues), calculates that nearly 21 million people are victims of human trafficking worldwide.
Roughly 4.5 million of those victims are trafficked for the purpose of sexual exploitation.
Exodus Cry Prevention efforts focus on eradicating sex trafficking at its root causes and addressing the societal factors that allow slavery to exist. We seek to stop this injustice before it starts so that the victimization of women and children all over the world is eliminated. We focus our prevention efforts on three main areas: mobilizing prayer, raising awareness, and advocating for domestic and international legal reform.
Exodus Cry Intervention exists as a light in the dark places where sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation occur. The goal is to locate victims and to provide avenues of escape for those who are trapped and want a way out. Our intervention efforts occur in the Kansas City Metro area, across the United States, and around the world.
Restoration is the process of renewing a broken life and returning a person to wholeness. It is the reintegration of healthy relationships with community, God, and self. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1734 | {"url": "http://www.denimforpeace.com/charity-profile.php?id=4", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.denimforpeace.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:42:52Z", "digest": "sha1:OLIBJIEZLUSV23VTGMID64WISXCSFH5W"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1667, 1667.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1667, 2870.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1667, 6.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1667, 102.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1667, 0.93]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1667, 179.1]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1667, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1667, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1667, 5.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1667, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1667, 0.38062284]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1667, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1667, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1667, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1667, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1667, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1667, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1667, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1667, 0.01956522]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1667, 0.02318841]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1667, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1667, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1667, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1667, 0.10726644]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1667, 0.56370656]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1667, 5.32818533]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1667, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1667, 4.65291427]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1667, 259.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 188, 1.0], [188, 630, 1.0], [630, 722, 1.0], [722, 1154, 1.0], [1154, 1498, 1.0], [1498, 1667, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 188, 0.0], [188, 630, 0.0], [630, 722, 0.0], [722, 1154, 0.0], [1154, 1498, 0.0], [1498, 1667, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 188, 26.0], [188, 630, 66.0], [630, 722, 14.0], [722, 1154, 67.0], [1154, 1498, 59.0], [1498, 1667, 27.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 188, 0.0], [188, 630, 0.00461894], [630, 722, 0.02247191], [722, 1154, 0.0], [1154, 1498, 0.0], [1498, 1667, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 188, 0.0], [188, 630, 0.0], [630, 722, 0.0], [722, 1154, 0.0], [1154, 1498, 0.0], [1498, 1667, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 188, 0.01595745], [188, 630, 0.01809955], [630, 722, 0.01086957], [722, 1154, 0.01157407], [1154, 1498, 0.02906977], [1498, 1667, 0.01775148]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1667, 0.69548321]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1667, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1667, 0.35554391]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1667, -36.37455166]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1667, 23.51273726]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1667, -0.17195249]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1667, 14.0]]} |

A Path Revealed
This is the story about a young family's sudden shift from a comfortable, middle-class American life into an alien world shaped and defined by Alzheimer's disease. Just days after turning 50, Martha Maddux was hit with this diagnosis. The news devastated her and husband Carlen. But this is not a story about hopelessness. Rather, this story traces a path that emerged during their family's darkest hours, a path they did not foresee. Encouraged by a friend and Presbyterian minister, just after the diagnosis, Martha and Carlen drove from their home in Florida to visit a Catholic nun in Kentucky. This path first appeared among the hills and back roads there.
Isabella Rose is on the run, hunted by the very people she had been hired to work for. Trained killer Isabella and former handler Michael Pope are forced into hiding in India and, when a mysterious informer passes them clues on the whereabouts of Pope’s family, the prey see an opportunity to become the predators. Chased from the poverty of Mumbai’s slums into the sights of a sniper’s rifle amongst the lavish wealth of Shanghai, Isabella and Pope hunt fleeting shadows in a race against time. And they can’t afford to lose.

I don’t mean to induce a panic…but it’s already the second weekend in August! It’s crazy how fast it’s flown by. After a busy few weekends, this one will be pretty much free of plans. I should be able to make progress on my to do list and also fit in plenty of relaxing.
I really like this post from Pearl about working on relationships. I couldn’t agree with her more on the importance of it.
I’m pretty excited about the new fall collection for Banana Republic. The first look came out this week and I’ve already got my eye on a couple of jackets. Lots of basics with a more modern vibe.
This blackberry lemon cake from Kristin looks delicious. I’m in the midst of menu planning for girl’s night and I may have found my dessert.
There was a period of my life when I watched Clueless almost every night as I was going to bed. This article claims there are 10 teen movies better than Clueless. I’m not convinced though.
If you enjoyed reading some of Emily Griffin’s books such as Something Borrowed, Where We Belong or her latest, The One & Only, you’ll like this interview with her from The Everygirl. I had no idea she practiced law before following her passion!

How Public Relations and Search Engine Marketing Work Together
By Bergen Rebello
Account Supervisor, Client Relations
When I joined Resolution Media a few months ago, I didn’t realize just how much I would be able to apply my background in public relations and publicity. Since then, I’ve learned ways that search engine marketing can be extremely beneficial to public relations efforts. From managing media crisis to protecting the image of a brand, search tactics can be used to ensure that news information gains maximum visibility.
One of the clients that I work with is utilizing SEO and paid search for a brand perception campaign. They’re not trying to sell anything tangible – their main concern is ensuring that they are able to manage the public perception of their product, which includes addressing negative press when necessary. The goal is to remain as proactive as possible so that we are on top of trends and news before it negatively impacts the brand’s perception. One way we do this is by creating a back-fill campaign to capture any general searchers for news are articles related to the product. We also work with our client’s PR team to monitor the news for important stories and announcements. If a specific topic is generating enough buzz to impact search demand trends, then we determine if it would be beneficial to utilize the search program to address the news. That way, individuals who are searching for news content (whether it’s positive or negative) will also find the messaging that we are trying to communicate, and have an opportunity to educate themselves on the subject with information from my client. Public reaction can have a significant impact on the reputation of a company, brand, or individual, so PR and SEM really go hand-in-hand.
An example of a brand that isn’t using paid search or display advertisements (but would benefit from doing so) is Domino’s Pizza. As many may remember, there was a scandalous video of Domino’s Pizza employees that was posted on YouTube. It created tremendous negative media attention for the brand and was considered a “PR nightmare.” However, when I searched for the video, there were no paid search results or display ads. Domino’s could use these opportunities to defer attention to positive messaging about the brand.
It’s beneficial to monitor what is being said about your brand using daily news alerts, social media sites, and tools that can analyze coverage over periods of time. My client called me this morning and requested a report showing how many people were searching about a particular topic in the news recently that was associated their product. Our team pulled reports using tools like Google Trends and AdWords, and we found that the search trends had not changed significantly as a result of the breaking news. Sure, there’s lots of news out there, but SEM can be instrumental in determining the “level of interest” amongst the public.
So, next time you’re creating a public relations strategy, be sure to factor in search marketing tactics and strategies to maximize the effectiveness of your efforts. When these two disciplines work together, they can become a powerful force behind any brand or organization.

Barrida, an herby-chicken dish.
This is a special guest post from Intern Andrew! We just wrapped working together for the past five months, and as a result, he’s launched a new blog: Pass The Flamingo, which focuses on ancient cuisine. Read on to learn more about a unique recipe from the Islamic world.
Over its long history, the Arab world has become a unique crossroads, the site of centuries of influence and exchange between cultures indigenous and foreign. One example of this influence is in foods like barida: an Islamic-era chicken dish that carries on the traditions of Ancient Rome.
Much of what we now call the Arab world was at one time also the Roman world. In the third century BCE, two great rival nations stood on opposite shores of the Mediterranean Sea: the Roman Republic and the kingdom of Carthage. A century later, Carthage was no more and Rome had overtaken its territory in Spain and North Africa. From there, Roman power would swiftly circle the coastline as the Romans conquered first Syria, then Egypt, then the Levant. By the first decade of the first century, the Romans ruled every land touched by Mediterranean waters.
Wherever Roman power extended, so did Roman culture. The Romans introduced their gods, language, laws and food to every land they conquered, while also picking up new habits and customs from the people of those lands. One of the ways this history shows itself most clearly is in food. Reading the book Medieval Cuisine of the Islamic World by Lilia Zaouali (2009), I was struck by the various similarities between Ancient Roman cuisine and the cuisine of the medieval Arabs, Berbers and other North African and Middle Eastern peoples.
One of the most central ingredients in Roman cuisine is the fermented fish sauce garum. Savory, salty and rich in B-vitamins, garum is used in almost every Roman recipe. Zaouali describes a fermented sauce called murri as essential to medieval Islamic cuisine. In its role in cuisine as well as its flavor and nutritional profile, murri is identical to the garum of Ancient Rome, except for one key difference: garum is made from fermented fish, and murri from fermented barley (although Zaouali also records a variant made with grasshoppers). Some scholars believe murri evolved directly from Roman garum, connecting the name to Latin salmuris, which means “brine”, or to muria, one of the byproducts of garum production. Zaouali connects both sauces to a common origin in the ancient Middle East; perhaps analogous to soy sauce and fish sauce in Asian cuisines, which also diversified from a common point of origin.
The first Arabic-language cookbook, Kitab al-Ṭabīḫ (The Book of Dishes), was written in 10th-century Baghdad by Ibn Sayyar al-Warraq. Sarah has made several dishes from this book, including a chicken wrap, a lamb stew, and a roast chicken with a savory pudding. You can read about them here. The Book of Dishes features a number of recipes for barida, chicken or fish topped with a complex sauce of spices and herbs that is prepared separately from the meat. Al-Warraq traces barida to the 8th-century ‘Abbasid caliphate, based in Baghdad, but the distinctive techniques and combinations of ingredients are far older, with roots in Roman North Africa and other places with a long history of cross-cultural exchange.
Typical ingredients in the sauce poured on barida include Roman favorites: dates, caraway, cumin, coriander/cilantro, asafetida, rue, pomegranate and pepper, with murri standing in for garum. The spicy-sweet-bitter flavor profile as well as the serving and preparation call to mind the 3rd-century Roman cookbook Apicius, including one of its most memorable entries, a recipe for a whole, roasted flamingo. When I recreated that recipe for my ancient food blog (which takes its name, Pass the Flamingo, from that particular experiment), I had to compromise by using a duck, but I managed a pretty faithful interpretation of the main element of the dish: a thick sauce of many ingredients, sweet and intensely spiced, prepared separately from the meat and poured on top for serving.
It’s worth noting that many of these ingredients popular among the Romans are actually native to the Middle East and North Africa (including flamingo itself). Although the influence of Roman cuisine on later Medieval Arab cuisine is apparent, it is less clear with whom these recipes and techniques truly originated. Was it Romans who adopted foreign influence into their diet, or non-Romans who adopted Roman influence–or both?
Out of several barida recipes in Zaouali’s book, this one caught my eye largely because it includes the herb elecampane, which I had never had the opportunity to use before (more on that below). Zaouali includes a translation of al-Warraq’s 10th century original:
Cold Chicken With Spices and Herbs
Take some vinegar and murrī and in them macerate coriander [seeds], Chinese cinnamon, pepper, dried and fresh thyme, cumin, caraway, fresh coriander [cilantro], mint, rue, celery, the pulp of a cucumber, and elecampane. Put everything in a grinder, mix, and pour over the grilled chicken.
Some notes on the ingredients:
I inferred that the recipe calls for celery leaves, which are often used as an herb in Roman recipes. They have a similar flavor to the stalks.
Per Zaouali’s suggestion, soy sauce will substitute for barley-based murri. The flavor is said to be similar, but I also noticed strong similarities between the process for making murri as described by Zaouali and the traditional process for making soy sauce. In both cases, a cooked grain is shaped into cakes, allowed to air-dry and rot, and then sealed up with water and salt to ferment. A lot of modern soy sauce brands even contain barley or wheat.
I wasn’t quite sure which part of a cucumber constitutes “the pulp”–just the flesh? Just the seeds? I decided to go with both.
“Chinese cinnamon” is an old name for Cinnamomum cassia, the species commonly called “cinnamon” in the USA.
Elecampane is a species of sunflower with an edible root. It has many other names, all of which make it sound like it belongs in a Shakespearean witches’ brew (horse-heal, scabwort, elfdock, yellow starwort, etc). I managed to find some of the dried root at Kalustyan’s in Manhattan, my go-to stop for spices and herbs from around the world. In case you were wondering, elecampane tastes extremely bitter and smells like wood chips, specifically those wood shavings you put in the bottom of a hamster cage. The package I bought says “not been evaluated by FDA.” I think it was meant to be made into tea.
Rue is another bitter herb that was popular in ancient times. I have some dried rue that I ordered online and have used in many Roman recipes. It’s worth being cautious about, as some people are allergic. Dandelion leaves would be a good substitute for both rue and elecampane.
Below is the recipe according to the procedure I followed:
4 chicken legs (skin on)
½ cup white wine vinegar
½ cup soy sauce
1 small cucumber, peeled and cut into chunks
About ½ of cup each of the following fresh herbs, loosely packed:
Mint (any variety)
Celery leaves
½ teaspoon each of the following:
Coriander seed
Caraway seed
Dried elecampane
Dried rue (Substitute a couple of fresh dandelion leaves for the elecampane and rue, or leave out)
Season the chicken legs with a little salt on both sides and cook them on a stovetop grill over medium-high heat. When they are finished, remove and allow to cool to room temperature.
Using a food processor or mortar and pestle, grind all the dry ingredients into powder. Then add the other sauce ingredients and continue to grind until you have an even green paste.
Spoon the sauce over the pieces of cold chicken and serve.
Barida is explicitly described as an appetizer served cold. At first that sounded unappetizing to me, but I can only guess that the low temperature is necessary to keep the herbs in the sauce from being cooked by the heat of the chicken. In the end, I was really pleased with how this recipe turned out. The sauce has a bright flavor from all the fresh herbs; the soy sauce provides all the necessary salt, and the pureed cucumber balances out the acid from the vinegar. There are so many other ingredients that I couldn’t taste each of them individually, and I’m still skeptical about the inclusion of both dried and fresh thyme, which I’ve never seen in a recipe before.
The bitterness of the elecampane is hard to shake, and it was the last flavor I tasted in the sauce. Bitter as a flavor seems to have been much better-appreciated in ancient times than today. If the bitter ingredients were taken out, I wouldn’t be surprised to find something like this on a modern menu. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1740 | {"url":

Final thoughts on the 'Ride to Francis'
By Dave Christi
Dave and Francis at
Rocky Mountain National Park, 1999
4,198.80. I'll always remember that number as it represents a significant time in my life that was focused on a significant individual - Francis David Sommer. I still think about various aspects of the trip - from the first lightning storm in the Pocono mountains to the serene ride through Iowa's farmlands - and I'll never forget Memorial Day 2013 as I laid Francis's wreath at his graveside. All these memories were augmented by my friendship of the Sommer family, which has endured over 45 years for which I've been honored to be part of. Francis is dearly missed but I also know that he misses your great family as well....
‘Ride to Francis’ a success!
The final tally is in!
Dave Christi
The Memorial Day “Ride to Francis” raised $4,198.80 for the Kansas City VA Medical Center’s Voluntary Services Unit. These funds will be used to assist homeless veterans in the Kansas City region. With administrative overhead covered by the Veteran’s Administration, donors are assured that 100 percent of their funds will be used for goods and services to assist veterans in need.
The “Ride to Francis” was the brainchild of Francis’s godfather Dave Christi, who rode his Harley from New York to Leavenworth National Cemetery in support of the KCVA. On a soggy Memorial Day morning, his journey culminated when he laid a wreath at Francis’s grave.
Thanks to Dave, donations to the KCVA in Francis’s memory have reached nearly $21,000. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1741 | {"url": "http://www.francisfund.org/2013/07/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.francisfund.org", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:19:38Z", "digest": "sha1:M6FFW56LKAGDS356WHEGGRDMDLJTV2DO"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1572, 1572.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1572, 5190.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1572, 12.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1572, 127.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1572, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1572, 339.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1572, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1572, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1572, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1572, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1572, 0.35670732]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1572, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1572, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1572, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1572, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1572, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1572, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1572, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1572, 0.01185771]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1572, 0.02371542]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1572, 0.02371542]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1572, 0.02743902]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1572, 0.16666667]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1572, 0.19207317]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1572, 0.60836502]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1572, 4.80988593]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1572, 0.00609756]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1572, 4.81456543]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1572, 263.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 24, 1.0], [24, 64, 0.0], [64, 86, 0.0], [86, 106, 0.0], [106, 141, 0.0], [141, 770, 1.0], [770, 799, 1.0], [799, 823, 1.0], [823, 836, 0.0], [836, 1219, 0.0], [1219, 1486, 1.0], [1486, 1572, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 24, 0.0], [24, 64, 0.0], [64, 86, 0.0], [86, 106, 0.0], [106, 141, 0.0], [141, 770, 0.0], [770, 799, 0.0], [799, 823, 0.0], [823, 836, 0.0], [836, 1219, 0.0], [1219, 1486, 0.0], [1486, 1572, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 24, 3.0], [24, 64, 7.0], [64, 86, 4.0], [86, 106, 4.0], [106, 141, 5.0], [141, 770, 108.0], [770, 799, 5.0], [799, 823, 5.0], [823, 836, 2.0], [836, 1219, 61.0], [1219, 1486, 45.0], [1486, 1572, 14.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 24, 0.0], [24, 64, 0.0], [64, 86, 0.0], [86, 106, 0.0], [106, 141, 0.12121212], [141, 770, 0.01980198], [770, 799, 0.0], [799, 823, 0.0], [823, 836, 0.0], [836, 1219, 0.024], [1219, 1486, 0.0], [1486, 1572, 0.06097561]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 24, 0.0], [24, 64, 0.0], [64, 86, 0.0], [86, 106, 0.0], [106, 141, 0.0], [141, 770, 0.0], [770, 799, 0.0], [799, 823, 0.0], [823, 836, 0.0], [836, 1219, 0.0], [1219, 1486, 0.0], [1486, 1572, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 24, 0.08333333], [24, 64, 0.075], [64, 86, 0.13636364], [86, 106, 0.1], [106, 141, 0.11428571], [141, 770, 0.02702703], [770, 799, 0.06896552], [799, 823, 0.04166667], [823, 836, 0.15384615], [836, 1219, 0.05221932], [1219, 1486, 0.07490637], [1486, 1572, 0.08139535]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1572, 0.07717842]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1572, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1572, 0.18053055]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1572, -102.76337406]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1572, 8.48667261]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1572, -75.11364277]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1572, 16.0]]} |

Human corneas regrown to restore vision

The limbal stem cells replenish corneal cells as they become damaged. However, injury or disease can lead to loss of these stem cells, and the eye loses its ability to keep the cornea transparent and clear, resulting in significant loss of vision and eventually, blindness.
A team of scientists from several Harvard-affiliated centers in Boston, MA, has grown human corneal tissue in mice using adult-derived human stem cells. They believe their breakthrough will bring hope to people who have impaired or lost vision due to burns, chemical injuries, or eye diseases that damage the cornea.
In contrast, control mice that received either no limbal stem cells, or received ABCB5-negative limbal stem cells, failed to restore their corneas.
Rare limbal stem cells are essential for corneal growth and repair
But, mice deficient in limbal stem cells developed fully functioning, restored corneas, that were kept clear and normal, after receiving transplants of human ABCB5-positive limbal stem cells.
They say ABCB5 keeps the stem cells alive, and protects them from programmed cell death or apoptosis. The study in mice is thought to be the first to show how the gene behaves in normal development.

In their study, he and his colleagues found that the gene ABCB5 acts as a marker for hard-to-find limbal stem cells, and is also essential for maintaining the stem cells and growing and repairing the cornea.
Meanwhile, Medical News Today recently reported how researchers at Oxford University in the UK have started testing newly developed “smart glasses” that help people with poor vision boost their awareness of what is around them. With the help of volunteers, the team is measuring how well their invention can help the near-blind navigate around shopping malls and avoid walking into obstacles.
Mice receiving human ABCB5-positive limbal stem cells restored their corneas
The researchers used antibodies to detect ABCB5 and confirm that tissue from deceased human donors contained limbal stem cells before transplanting them into the mice.
Dr. Bruce Ksander, associate professor of ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School, and also of Massachusetts Eye & Ear Infirmary, and colleagues write about their work – the first known example of tissue grown from a human stem cell – in the journal Nature.

The only treatment option for patients who have lost their limbal stem cells is transplantation. However, this is complicated by the fact limbal stem are not easy to identify, so eye surgeons cannot be sure if the grafts are rich or poor in the essential stem cells.
They found mice lacking a functional ABCB5 gene lost their limbal stem cells, and their corneas healed poorly after injury.
Prof. Ksander says, “Limbal stem cells are very rare, and successful transplants are dependent on these rare cells.”
“This finding will now make it much easier to restore the corneal surface,” says Prof. Ksander. “It’s a very good example of basic research moving quickly to a translational application.”

The cells that make up the cornea – the transparent “window” of tissue at the front of the eye – are constantly damaged from blinking and exposure to the outside world. To repair the damage, the eye maintains a small number of “limbal stem cells” at the edge of the cornea. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1742 | {"url":

.Ive still got my ……. I’m waiting to pick up a friend at the hospital…….. Had clogged corroded and it put him down! Unbelievable I was literally across the street when he called me like an idiot…..should have gone right to 911……which I got as soon as I saw him! Time was the key but while I’m springing him……..take a look at this pic and see if you can see something awesome we are now doing here at the shop I’ll be back later and finish this post….study the pic carefully…….the annnnnticipation builds……
Ok, lemme give you a closer look Technology has progressed from the days I had tint shops……That windshield has a 40% heat rejection window film, stretched around our curved windshields.
We’ve been fortunate enough to find a tinter who can do this, a quality job at our place………. Tinting is more of an art form and finding a skilled professional………IS the key

Deluged
UPDATED: With an absolutely horrible picture of me that my sister bullied me into adding. I suppose it adds to the authenticity of my story (and therefore, the voracity of my blog) but STILL.
Last Saturday (I know. Sorry. I can't always get my pictures loaded in a timely manner.) I took Jake for a brisk walk in the stroller. Although there was a "chance of widely scattered showers," the sky looked very non-threatening when we departed:
MISLEADING.
When we got to the farthest point away from the house before turning around (about the 22- minute mark), the sky opened up with no warning at all (if you don't count the forecast) and DRENCHED US.
HUGE raindrops. POURING down. We were being pelted, as we were out in the middle of the street. I ducked into the driveway of a house that's for sale, because it had a nice canopy of trees. I tried to keep Jake "dry" under the stroller canopy. I was unsuccessful.
Surprisingly, he didn't make a peep. He didn't whimper, cry or express any displeasure at all. I thought he'd start screaming and not stop until we got back inside the house, but he never let on that it was a problem.
After 10 minutes of standing in the driveway (which wasn't helping matters at all), I decided to just make a run for it. We jogged the 12 minutes or so back to the house, just soaking up the rain. A couple of times cars came by and hit their brakes, and I thought someone was going to try to "save" us. (No one stopped. Just as well ... I wouldn't have taken them up on the offer. Even if it had been one of our neighbors or friends, I would have just continued on our way. We were so wet, there was no salvaging us!)
The main reason I couldn't keep Jake's head dry was that he kept doing this:
I took these after we'd gotten home and the rain had slowed to a drizzle (and he was unbuckled), but this is what he kept doing in the rain. Child kept standing up on the footrest like Kate and Leo on the bow of the Titanic, at times lifting his arms into the air to fully embrace the rain.
Too much, that kid. I tell you. Adorable.
Also, a drowned rat. His hair was matted down with rain, and his clothes were plastered to his body.
I was an identically sorry sort of specimen. (I honestly cannot BELIEVE that I just added that picture of me, drenched, with no makeup on.)
And the stroller was wet through.
I tried to get some pictures of the falling rain right after we got back, but I'm not sure how well you'll be able to see it on the blawg. Street, with rain:
Sidewalk, with rain:
Puddle, made of rain:
Internet, where would you go for meaningless, boring pictures of plain old rain if I were not here to serve you? WHERE HAVE I BEEN ALL OF YOUR LIFE?

The problem with google reader is, I don't get updates when you update, post posting an entry... luckily I stumbled upon this gem while looking for the link to send to Lala.
Right-click, save...ahh yes...Blackmail material...
Although, now I don't know how useful it is since its on the world wide webz...

Walter, the APPROPRIATE response would have been, "What? You look GREAT!"

Just Do It… with a Smaller Carbon Footprint: How Nike Uses Big Data
Big data collection has immense power to help large corporations predict how consumer behavior will shape the future, even in the face of various economic climates. But what about the actual climate? Nike is using its business intelligence to collect and use big data to help the environment while also selling more product.
By looking back at things like consumer loyalty, efficiency of supply chain, and how profitable collaborative relationships have been with manufacturers, distributors, and merchandisers, Nike can offer a better product for their fans and the planet alike. So how do they “just do it”?
By better utilizing the raw materials they use to manufacture products, Nike is able to turn their “waste product” into something that can be used to produce other products, can be recycled, or sold to other vendors at a lower cost to them. In an age when being able to tell Millennials and Gen Y consumers how we’ve greened up, Nike has struck gold using data mining and by organizing its data history into an open source for managing inventory and all entities on their supply chain. That means less waste, more profit, and happier consumers who want to know they’re making the eco-friendly choice.
The fact that Nike’s materials sustainability index (MSI) is open source is a whole other giant step in the right direction. While it fosters a reputation of transparency for the company, it also allows licensed users to access information to create data sets of their own, enhancing the profitability of the little guy—which means Nike looks less like Walmart and more like Small Business Saturday.
Shockingly, Walmart was among the first in a line of other companies to add themselves to the roster of those now using The Sustainable Apparel Coalition—the entity that handles Nike’s big data for a sustainable supply chain. While it’s purely speculative to suggest, it’s a better bet that Walmart is greenwashing their in-house brand (Great Value) and other brands they carry, not going deep green. Nonetheless, if it helps the planet while helping lower the cost to consumers, it’s a win-win well worth the effort.
But with all these predictors in place, big data doesn’t just work at random to help Nike and others lower their carbon footprint. Now when designing a new product, those developing designs for shoes and apparel can make wiser choices that create less environmental impact based on what Nike has on hand, and how each of these materials will individually lower cost of production will also being greener. It doesn’t make them Tom’s shoes quite yet, but it does mean one step in the right direction that wouldn’t have been possible without the use of business intelligence and data harvesting.
What’s more, the open source tools implemented by Nike, Walmart and others also allows developers, designers, and project managers to see what other companies are up to when it comes to production. In the words of Nike’s vice president of sustainable business and innovation, Hannah Jones, “If someone has spent the last year working on ways to make a shoe-box more eco-friendly, I’d think that was stupid if I’d also spent the last year doing the same thing.”
The future shaped by big data on an open source network means big business can make better choices and limit their margin of error when it comes to sustainability. By helping each other through inventory and design transparency, companies who are a part of The Sustainable Apparel Coalition are changing how business is done and shaping a method for production that will hopefully soon be knocking on the door of small and medium-size ventures as well.

Donor-Advised Funds Combine Charitable Impact with Tax Benefits
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable account offered by sponsors such as financial institutions, community foundations, universities, and fraternal or religious organizations. Donors who itemize deductions on their federal income tax returns can write off DAF contributions in the year they are made, then gift funds later to the charities they want to support. DAF contributions are irrevocable, which means the donor gives the sponsor legal control, while retaining advisory privileges with respect to the distribution of funds and the investment of assets.
Donors can take their time vetting unfamiliar charities and exploring philanthropic opportunities. They can wait to take advantage of matching fund campaigns, have money ready to aid victims when disaster strikes, or build up funds over multiple years to make one large grant for a special purpose. Grants can generally be made to any qualified tax-exempt charitable organization in good standing.
Under current law, there are no rules about how quickly money in DAFs should be granted. However, legislation has been introduced — the Accelerating Charitable Efforts (ACE) Act — that would impose a 15-year limit on the donor’s advisory privileges, among other changes. You may want to watch for future developments if you are interested in using donor-advised funds to execute a charitable giving strategy. (Any legislation passed in 2022 likely would not take effect until 2023.)
Tax-Efficient Timing
Gifts to public charities, including donor-advised funds, are tax deductible up to 60% of adjusted gross income (AGI) for cash contributions and 30% of AGI for non-cash assets (if held for more than one year). Contribution amounts that exceed these limits may be carried over for up to five tax years.
DAF contributions can be timed to make the most of the tax deduction. In an especially high-income year, for example, a larger contribution might keep a taxpayer from climbing into a higher tax bracket or crossing a threshold that would trigger Medicare surcharges or the net investment income tax.
Now that the standard deduction has been expanded ($12,950 for single filers and $25,900 for joint filers in 2022), many taxpayers don’t benefit from itemizing deductions, including those for charitable donations. But with advance planning, it may be possible to bunch charitable contributions that would normally be donated over several years in a single tax year, ensuring that itemized deductions surpass the standard deduction.
A similar approach may appeal to pre-retirees in their peak earning years. Those who expect to be in a lower tax bracket and/or might claim the standard deduction during retirement might consider making deductible contributions to a donor-advised fund while they are still working.
Growth in Donor-Advised Funds
Contributions to DAFs accounted for about 10.1% of total U.S. charitable giving in 2020.

Gifting Appreciated Assets
Contributions to a donor-advised fund can be made with cash, publicly traded securities, and more complicated assets such as real estate, valuable art and collectibles, or a stake in a privately held business, offering a convenient way to gift appreciated assets. Fund sponsors typically have experience in evaluating and liquidating donated assets (a qualified appraisal may be needed). This way, a donor can make a single contribution to a DAF that eventually benefits multiple charities, including smaller organizations that are not able to accept direct donations of appreciated assets.
Giving appreciated assets to charity can provide lucrative tax savings. A donor may qualify for a tax deduction based on the current fair market value of the contribution, while helping reduce capital gain taxes on the profits from the sale of those assets. This strategy may be helpful when family businesses or shares of privately held companies are sold, or any time a larger tax deduction is needed.
DAFs have fees and expenses that donors giving directly to a charity would not face.

Imagine stepping into an elevator and realizing that you’re about to spend the 30-second ride with someone who could make your retirement dreams come true — if only you could explain them before the doors open again. How would you summarize your financial situation, outlook, aspirations, and plans if you had 30 seconds to make an “elevator pitch” about achieving one of your most important goals?
Answering that question — and formulating your own unique retirement dream elevator pitch — could help bring your vision of the future into sharper focus.
Start with an overview of what you hope to accomplish. That typically includes describing what you want, when you want it, and why. For example, you might say, “My goal involves retiring in 10 years and moving to a different state so I can be closer to family.” Or, “In the next 15 years, I need to accumulate enough money to retire from my regular job and open a part-time business that will help sustain my current lifestyle.”
If your plans include sharing life with a loved one, make sure you’re both on the same page. Rather than assume you have similar ideas about retirement, discuss what you want a future together to look like.
To put a price tag on your retirement dream, consider working with a financial professional to calculate how much money you’ll need. Making multiple calculations using different variables — such as changing your anticipated retirement date and potential investment growth rate — will help you develop a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities you may encounter.
It’s important to remember that plans don’t always work out the way we intend. For example, 72% of workers surveyed in 2021 said they expect to continue working for pay during retirement, but only 30% of retirees said they actually did so. And nearly half (46%) of current retirees left the workforce earlier than expected.1 Understanding the financial implications of an unanticipated change in plans before it happens could make it easier to adjust accordingly.
Among workers surveyed in 2021:

How Will You Do It?
If your calculations indicate you may be facing a retirement savings shortfall, take a fresh look at your spending habits to help find ways to save more money. Make a list of your fixed expenses and then keep track of your discretionary purchases every day for a month. It might be startling to realize how much you routinely spend on non-essential items, but you’ll quickly discover exactly where to start applying more financial discipline.
Finally, you’ll need to manage the funds you earmark for retirement by choosing the types of accounts to use and allocating your money within each account. If you have access to an employer-sponsored retirement account with matching contributions from your employer, you might want to start there and then invest in additional tax-deferred and taxable investments.
Regardless of the types of accounts you choose, your specific investment decisions should reflect your personal tolerance for risk and time frame, while addressing the priorities outlined in your retirement dream elevator pitch. If your retirement outlook changes at any point, take a fresh look at your investment strategy to make sure you’re still potentially on course.
All investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee that any investment strategy will be successful. Asset allocation is a method used to help manage investment risk; it does not guarantee a profit or protect against investment loss. There is no assurance that working with a financial professional will improve investment results. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1748 | {"url": "http://www.hurtassociates.com/Whats-Your-Retirement-Dream-Elevator-Pitch.c9906.htm", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.hurtassociates.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:19:28Z", "digest": "sha1:UASQFPGG2MHYL4KPMHWMWM7BBDJEA6HW"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3733, 3733.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3733, 5850.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3733, 14.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3733, 51.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3733, 0.94]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3733, 337.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3733, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3733, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3733, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3733, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3733, 0.44316547]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3733, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3733, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3733, 0.05544684]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3733, 0.01304631]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3733, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3733, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3733, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3733, 0.02283105]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3733, 0.018591]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3733, 0.02739726]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3733, 0.0028777]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3733, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3733, 0.1323741]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3733, 0.52317881]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3733, 5.07615894]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3733, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3733, 5.30784612]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3733, 604.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 45, 1.0], [45, 444, 1.0], [444, 599, 1.0], [599, 1028, 1.0], [1028, 1235, 1.0], [1235, 1614, 1.0], [1614, 2078, 1.0], [2078, 2110, 0.0], [2110, 2160, 0.0], [2160, 2180, 1.0], [2180, 2623, 1.0], [2623, 2988, 1.0], [2988, 3361, 1.0], [3361, 3733, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 45, 0.0], [45, 444, 0.0], [444, 599, 0.0], [599, 1028, 0.0], [1028, 1235, 0.0], [1235, 1614, 0.0], [1614, 2078, 0.0], [2078, 2110, 0.0], [2110, 2160, 0.0], [2160, 2180, 0.0], [2180, 2623, 0.0], [2623, 2988, 0.0], [2988, 3361, 0.0], [3361, 3733, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 45, 6.0], [45, 444, 66.0], [444, 599, 25.0], [599, 1028, 78.0], [1028, 1235, 37.0], [1235, 1614, 57.0], [1614, 2078, 75.0], [2078, 2110, 5.0], [2110, 2160, 6.0], [2160, 2180, 5.0], [2180, 2623, 74.0], [2623, 2988, 56.0], [2988, 3361, 57.0], [3361, 3733, 57.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 45, 0.0], [45, 444, 0.01020408], [444, 599, 0.0], [599, 1028, 0.00959233], [1028, 1235, 0.0], [1235, 1614, 0.0], [1614, 2078, 0.02433628], [2078, 2110, 0.13333333], [2110, 2160, 0.08510638], [2160, 2180, 0.0], [2180, 2623, 0.0], [2623, 2988, 0.0], [2988, 3361, 0.0], [3361, 3733, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 45, 0.0], [45, 444, 0.0], [444, 599, 0.0], [599, 1028, 0.0], [1028, 1235, 0.0], [1235, 1614, 0.0], [1614, 2078, 0.0], [2078, 2110, 0.0], [2110, 2160, 0.0], [2160, 2180, 0.0], [2180, 2623, 0.0], [2623, 2988, 0.0], [2988, 3361, 0.0], [3361, 3733, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 45, 0.13333333], [45, 444, 0.00501253], [444, 599, 0.00645161], [599, 1028, 0.01864802], [1028, 1235, 0.00966184], [1235, 1614, 0.00527704], [1614, 2078, 0.00862069], [2078, 2110, 0.03125], [2110, 2160, 0.1], [2160, 2180, 0.25], [2180, 2623, 0.00677201], [2623, 2988, 0.00547945], [2988, 3361, 0.00536193], [3361, 3733, 0.01075269]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3733, 0.55207509]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3733, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3733, 0.0468567]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3733, -204.85480453]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3733, 25.75145416]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3733, -338.55622803]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3733, 28.0]]} |

Royal Palace – Oslo, Norway
The Royal Palace was built in the first half of the 19th century as the Norwegian residence of King Charles III, who also reigned as king of Sweden. Today it is the official residence of the present Norwegian monarch. The crown prince resides at Skaugum in Asker west of Oslo. The palace has 173 rooms. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1749 | {"url": "http://www.itsallhere.com/travel/photos/oslo-photos/attachment/osl-036/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.itsallhere.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:19:09Z", "digest": "sha1:DZEQSZZUJZPBSIHYG2HSZISN6I3EFIZI"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 366, 366.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 366, 719.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 366, 3.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 366, 30.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 366, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 366, 110.8]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 366, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 366, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 366, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 366, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 366, 0.30379747]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 366, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 366, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 366, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 366, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 366, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 366, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 366, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 366, 0.07534247]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 366, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 366, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 366, 0.01265823]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 366, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 366, 0.21518987]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 366, 0.70149254]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 366, 4.35820896]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 366, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 366, 3.64226547]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 366, 67.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 36, 0.0], [36, 64, 0.0], [64, 366, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 36, 0.0], [36, 64, 0.0], [64, 366, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 36, 7.0], [36, 64, 5.0], [64, 366, 55.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 36, 0.27272727], [36, 64, 0.0], [64, 366, 0.01683502]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 36, 0.0], [36, 64, 0.0], [64, 366, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 36, 0.05555556], [36, 64, 0.14285714], [64, 366, 0.05629139]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 366, 0.97364724]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 366, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 366, 0.12180281]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 366, -7.52116252]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 366, -0.11480875]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 366, 22.38369005]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 366, 4.0]]} |
In Chris Hadfield’s book, An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth, Hadfield talks about the mindset of an astronaut. In space, anything and everything can kill you. Thus, years of preparation is needed for a space mission. Every task, from launch and spacewalks to how to fix the toilet on the International Space Station have been choreographed to the minute. Everything that can go wrong has been thought of prior, so in the case when it does happen, they know what to do. Sweat the small stuff, as Hadfield says.
I’ve taken this mindset into my next job search. The problem for me is not landing interviews but the interview itself. But after been through many interviews, I have a good sense of the structure and what they’re going to ask. Now, it’s all about practice and preparation.
Astronauts don’t go into space with their fingers crossed, hoping that something bad doesn’t happen. That’s not how it works. The same is true for job interviews. There’s no such thing as overpreparation.
Sweat the small stuff.

“It seemed as if my mind, though active in its very nature, had lost all its activity, and was struck motionless, as well as into nothing, before the awful and glorious majesty of the Great Jehovah… He also told me, that every denomination of professing christians had become extremely corrupt; many of which had never had any true faith at all; but are guided only by depraved reason… he said that all the different denominations of professing christians constituted the New Testament Babylon…
“Much more the Lord revealed; but forbids my relating it in this way.”
Asa Wild – 1 October 1823, Palmyra’s Wayne Sentinel, “PROGNOSTICATION ! ! Remarkable Vision and Revelation” (Palmyra, NY: Wayne Sentinel Newspaper, 22 October 1823), 4.
“Asa Wild was almost a dozen years older than Joseph Smith, and it is probable the two never met. Like Joseph, Wild was born in Vermont–in 1794 at West Fairlee, about twenty miles northeast of Joseph’s birthplace of Sharon. Most of what we know about Asa Wild comes from a pamphlet he published in 1824, entitled A Short Sketch of the Religious Experience and Spiritual Travels of Asa Wild, of Amsterdam, N. Y. For many years, he resisted the faith of his parents, practicing almost every species of vice, until at age twenty-two he experienced a desire for forgiveness of his sins and looked back to Calvinism to satisfy his religious yearnings. He affiliated with the Calvinists and became more and more assimilated to their theorists before discovering that he was surrounded with professors of religion who were only wolves in sheep’s clothing, having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof.”

Brendon Small talks Dethklok
Brendon Small, creator of “Metalocalypse,” Dethklok and Home Movies, and writer for Aqua Teen Hunger Force, among other things, has a lot of guitars. How many? “Thirteen. Twenty, if you include the acoustic ones,” he said. His favorite is the Black Gibson Explorer, which lead guitarist Skwisgaar Skwigelf plays on the show.
If you’ve been following the show, you’d know that Small is a pretty good shredder as well; he writes and plays all the music on the show. That’s aside from writing the scripts and doing voices for three of the characters: drummer Pickles, lead singer Nathan Explosion and guitarist Skwigelf.
Bringing the live show on tour (Dethklok performed in Madison, and not Milwaukee as previously reported), seemed pretty much a no brainer — especially since Small has played guitar since he was 14. In the beginning it was bands such as Metallica and Guns ‘n’ Roses that got him into playing guitar; “I was 14-years old and it excited me a lot,” he said.
As Small got better, he started learning to shred. Guitar masters such as Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Paul Gilbert (of Mr. Big) became big names for him; he looked up to music for guitar-playing virtuosos. — “those were epic thrash players,” he explained.
These days, Small cites Queen and the Who as influences, but he also likes a lot of guitar-driven songs. “As long as the song is good, I like all styles,” he said over the phone.
The idea for “Metalocalypse” came about after co-creator Tommy Bacha and Small started going to amazing heavy metal shows around Los Angeles. “(After its heyday) metal is not only more popular, heavier and better,” he said. “It seemed like it went away for a while, but people kept working on it, producing great songs with more intense musicianship.”
One such inspiration was the band Cannibal Collection, which had incredible energy. He described their music as death metal; listening to their music, he said, “was like listening to a splatter film on your way to work.” With metal, Small said, you either “learn to listen to it or just get it.”
Small just got it — and in an un-ironic way. “I’m sick of irony; I definitely think metal is cool. I lose my social life (to it); you have to like it to make it work.” “I love metal, and the fact that it’s cool again. I think the show is hyperslapstick.”
Oh, and one obvious fact: Small is also a big fan of horror movies.
The live show was deliberately set up to make sure Dethklok — and not Small — was in the forefront. A big screen shows all the animated action, and the band performs in all black, like stagehands. “It was an option to see people play. Even if you’re just standing there, it’s cool to see a shredder,” he explained.
So how similar are the three members of the band to Small? “I’m dumber than most of them!” he said, laughing. “Actually, I hope not. They’re narccissists and chaotic, but it’s lots of fun to play self-centered jerks. But as a voice I have the most fun with Nathan, and it will be interesting to make him more expressive.”
Coincidentally, Pickles is from Tomahawk,Wisconsin. Is that a nod to all the metal aficionados in this region? “We just wanted a good metal representation, and cover all bases,” he said. Small is from Illinois, and Bacha is from Detroit, Michigan — but Nathan Explosion is from Florida, and metal from Scandinavia is represented in the show via Toki and Skwisgaar.
Small also talked about future storylines — including how the band got together and Murderface’s history. “There’s stuff we talk about that we’ll reveal at the right time,” he said.

Cambridge stay
August 17, 2018 by Arthur
Living Learning English Review:
Hello, my name is Arthur and I’m from Switzerland.I’m fifiteen.I really enjoyed my two weeks stay in Daniela’s family. My english has improved and I’m satisfied about it.
Everyday exept the weekend, I got up at 7:30, the lessons started at 8:15 and finished around 11:30. I think that these two weeks in Cambridge have been very useful, knowing that I’m going to be studying IGCSE’s next year, and it’s also a good experience. I practiced my writing skills a lot, and I think it helped me improve my english.
Everyday, we went out to visit a different place. The father of the family: Derick, once took me to an aircraft museum. He knows almost everything about these planes: their history, what they were used for, the countries who used to use them, and much more.
The food was delicious. Daniela is a great cook. She makes her pizzas from scratch, which makes them particularly tasty. I really enjoyed them.
The Thakes are lovely. They were always there to help if there was any problems and they are very friendly. I spent a pleasant time with them during these two weeks in Cambridge. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1755 | {"url": "http://www.livingenglishreviews.com/cambridge-stay/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.livingenglishreviews.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:54:55Z", "digest": "sha1:ONT2K2HRWYD6O2ZKSEOUZPWSMCSP2CKK"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1162, 1162.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1162, 1812.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1162, 8.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1162, 46.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1162, 0.99]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1162, 301.2]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1162, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1162, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1162, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1162, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1162, 0.45559846]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1162, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1162, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1162, 0.05200433]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1162, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1162, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1162, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1162, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1162, 0.02600217]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1162, 0.02816901]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1162, 0.03250271]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1162, 0.04633205]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1162, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1162, 0.1969112]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1162, 0.66176471]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1162, 4.5245098]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1162, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1162, 4.71439979]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1162, 204.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 15, 0.0], [15, 41, 0.0], [41, 73, 0.0], [73, 244, 1.0], [244, 582, 1.0], [582, 840, 1.0], [840, 984, 1.0], [984, 1162, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 15, 0.0], [15, 41, 0.0], [41, 73, 0.0], [73, 244, 0.0], [244, 582, 0.0], [582, 840, 0.0], [840, 984, 0.0], [984, 1162, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 15, 2.0], [15, 41, 5.0], [41, 73, 4.0], [73, 244, 28.0], [244, 582, 62.0], [582, 840, 46.0], [840, 984, 24.0], [984, 1162, 33.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 15, 0.0], [15, 41, 0.25], [41, 73, 0.0], [73, 244, 0.0], [244, 582, 0.03067485], [582, 840, 0.0], [840, 984, 0.0], [984, 1162, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 15, 0.0], [15, 41, 0.0], [41, 73, 0.0], [73, 244, 0.0], [244, 582, 0.0], [582, 840, 0.0], [840, 984, 0.0], [984, 1162, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 15, 0.06666667], [15, 41, 0.07692308], [41, 73, 0.125], [73, 244, 0.05263158], [244, 582, 0.03550296], [582, 840, 0.01550388], [840, 984, 0.02777778], [984, 1162, 0.02808989]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1162, 0.04520351]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1162, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1162, 0.08006936]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1162, -53.32349888]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1162, 12.4165543]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1162, -131.4495305]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1162, 17.0]]} |

My left foot (A cautionary tale of Dr. Google) 4
This entry was posted in Essays new material and tagged benign cancer health medical new year's greetings tumor wellness worry on December 31, 2015 by Marla Cohen.
I was wrestling myself into a pair of brown opaque tights when I noticed the lump. It wasn’t terribly large. But to me, it looked huge, perched on the front arch of my ankle when I pointed my toe. If I stood flat-footed, it disappeared, receding between two tendons, hidden from sight.
I finished dressing and didn’t think too much more about it. It didn’t hurt, but it didn’t go away. And when I did notice it, I just thought it was ugly. I Googled for an answer.
So I went to the doctor. It was a late appointment after work. She was tired. I was tired. “It’s a…oh, I’m blanking,” she said.
“A ganglion cyst?” I asked.
“Yes, a ganglion cyst. You don’t have to do anything about it. It’s not dangerous. Unless you don’t like how it looks.”
So I went home, tucking my vanity away like the cyst folded itself into the recesses of muscle and tendon. It just seemed like another indignity of aging, even though ganglion cysts were supposed to be the purview of young women, sprouting mysteriously along fingers, wrists, the backs of hands, feet, and yes, ankles. An image came back to me: sitting at the kitchen table of a high school friend, talking to his older sister, my eyes riveted to the strange egg-like protrusion on the back of her right hand.
Was my ankle lump the same thing? I hated its smooth pebble-like contours, how it moved freely on what appeared to be the surface of my bone, never straying too far from where it seemed to be tethered.
I wanted it gone.
I marched my vanity to an orthopedic surgeon. He X-rayed my foot. The lump was soft tissue. It might be a ganglion cyst. It might be something else, maybe a large-cell tumor of the tendon sheath. Maybe not. He sent me for an MRI. I asked what he thought it was.
Off I went. When the orthopedist called, he said the radiologist wanted me to do an MRI with contrast. I asked why. He said it might be something else. I should have known something was up, that they didn’t like what they had seen. So I went for another MRI, right before Thanksgiving.
The day after the holiday, my husband, Avrom, and I were walking around Rockland Lake. I’d just run in the Turkey Trot, a five-mile run around it the day before and was feeling pretty good—well exercised for a holiday weekend of eating excess.
My cell phone rang. It was the orthopedist.
“The radiologist thinks he sees some malignancy. I want you to see an orthopedic oncologist.” He gave me the name and said he’d call the doctor to let him know I’d be scheduling an appointment.
I didn’t make much sense of this. How can this pebble underneath my skin be a malignant tumor? The sky is still blue. The lake is clear. I ran five miles yesterday. But my world just divided itself into before and after.
Malignant is not a word anyone wants to hear. I made another appointment with Dr. Google, which was probably not a good idea in retrospect. The first thing that came up was a synovial sarcoma, a very aggressive cancer of the soft tissue. The outcomes weren’t good, with death within a year being the worst and amputation being the best.
The first thought I had, as I looked at the grim image of an amputated foot left on the operating table, like some leftover piece of meat, was that I wouldn’t get to see my daughter, Lily, 19, get married. I don’t know why the fleeting image of her as a bride without her mother passed through my head. There is no wedding in sight. I only recently found out she even has a boyfriend. I thought about my son Nathan’s upcoming college graduation and what it would be like not to be in the photos. He talks sometimes about going on for a PhD. Would I not see that? I can tell you the idea of a wedding or a graduation, future simchas, grandchildren that might take place at some point in a future that didn’t include me was physically painful.
It was the only time I cried.
Avrom and I met the oncologist, a muscular man, with an all-American confidence, who implicitly inspired trust. He didn’t seem to think it was cancerous, but it should be removed because if it were to grow, it could attach itself to the bone and cause problems later. From the images it seemed to be a large-cell tumor of the tendon sheath, one of the things my orthopedist had mentioned. They are benign, he said, but if it proved to be malignant, they would remove it and I’d probably have some localized radiation. It seemed less scary; or at least like I wouldn’t be leaving my foot behind on the operating table. I started erasing images of exercising on a treadmill, my prosthetic foot clacking as I moved.
I scheduled surgery for first thing on a Friday morning. We drove in the dark to Hackensack Hospital in New Jersey. When I surfaced from the anesthesia, Avrom joked they’d sewn my foot on the right way around. Gee, thanks.
The surgeon said it looked like a fibroma of the tendon sheath, a different kind of benign tumor. I felt relieved; they’d have the full pathology when I came to get the stitches out in 10 days.
Now I was less terrified. I hobbled around on an ugly open-toed boot held with Velcro straps to my foot and dubbed myself “Frankenfoot,” as I clumped down the stairs. I pushed the image of the motherless bride to the far corner of my mind, and instead kvetched about not being able to go to the gym.
Today, I had my stitches removed. There’s a small scar, about a half-inch long on the front of my ankle, covered in steri-strips. I am relieved. I consider myself to be a healthy person. I exercise six days a week; when I get my blood work done, my numbers are great. This episode had really shaken that view of myself.
I know that as I age, my body will inevitably fail me. Maybe not all at once, maybe not catastrophically, but over time, bit by bit. It’s like my washing machine that needs replacing. It works fine—most of the time. But there are some days when the dishes just don’t seem all that clean and the top rack falls off its tracks and well, it just doesn’t work like it used to. Nor do I.
On the up side, I discovered the evolutionary advantage of vanity—I never would have gotten this thing attended to had I not hated how it looked when I was wearing high heels. And that I’m really glad to be celebrating my 54th birthday tomorrow.
Best wishes for a happy and most of all, healthy, new year.

so glad the story has a happy ending!
Roberta Seitzman December 31, 2015 at 12:51 pm
I could relate to your story. About 20 years ago, I had a fibroma buried in my spine.
So much to celebrate, Happy New Year and I’m thankful that you’re okay at 54. Wanna trade ages?

Public Sector Jobs as Welfare
Posted on January 7, 2011 by michael
Here is the text of a message I sent on 1/7/11 to columnist Holman Jenkins of The Wall Street Journal:
Dear Mr. Jenkins,
Following up on my Things You Might Want to Write About, series . . .
I am still waiting to hear someone, anyone, publicly point out that there is probably no public-sector employee in America who would quit his job if compelled to choose between (a) having his salary and benefits reduced to a point where they were only marginally better than the going rate for comparable work in the private sector, and (b) resigning his position. Granted, the unions (presently) stand in the way of our being able to force such an election upon their members, but that is not the point.
Every dollar of public-sector employee compensation that is in excess of the fair market value of the work performed by the employee, represents a subsidy – call it a transfer payment, income-redistribution, or whatever. The fact is, excess compensation is a form of welfare (as distinct from compensation for labor). The truth one dare not utter, as in the case of most forms of welfare, is that, in addition to buying votes, it has become a means of placating the “have-nots” in our society; we pay this money to keep people in the office and off the streets, both to promote civil order and to foster normalized behavior. That is not necessarily a bad trade-off, but it is one we can no longer afford. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1757 | {"url": "http://www.mecmoss.com/public-sector-jobs-as-welfare/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.mecmoss.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:35:01Z", "digest": "sha1:OGG4NQQYVPLRA7E6DM2IFUJ7RWHUQORM"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1467, 1467.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1467, 2427.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1467, 7.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1467, 40.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1467, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1467, 183.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1467, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1467, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1467, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1467, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1467, 0.44551282]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1467, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1467, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1467, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1467, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1467, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1467, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1467, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1467, 0.01722653]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1467, 0.01550388]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1467, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1467, 0.00641026]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1467, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1467, 0.16666667]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1467, 0.64092664]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1467, 4.48262548]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1467, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1467, 4.76634183]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1467, 259.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 30, 0.0], [30, 67, 0.0], [67, 170, 0.0], [170, 188, 0.0], [188, 258, 1.0], [258, 763, 1.0], [763, 1467, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 30, 0.0], [30, 67, 0.0], [67, 170, 0.0], [170, 188, 0.0], [188, 258, 0.0], [258, 763, 0.0], [763, 1467, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 30, 5.0], [30, 67, 7.0], [67, 170, 20.0], [170, 188, 3.0], [188, 258, 12.0], [258, 763, 88.0], [763, 1467, 124.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 30, 0.0], [30, 67, 0.14285714], [67, 170, 0.04040404], [170, 188, 0.0], [188, 258, 0.0], [258, 763, 0.0], [763, 1467, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 30, 0.0], [30, 67, 0.0], [67, 170, 0.0], [170, 188, 0.0], [188, 258, 0.0], [258, 763, 0.0], [763, 1467, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 30, 0.13333333], [30, 67, 0.05405405], [67, 170, 0.0776699], [170, 188, 0.16666667], [188, 258, 0.1], [258, 763, 0.00594059], [763, 1467, 0.00568182]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1467, 0.28792483]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1467, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1467, 0.00523424]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1467, -40.68124866]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1467, 17.12305947]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1467, -30.71165773]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1467, 8.0]]} |
Author Quoted Saint John of the Cross
Title Quoted complete works of Saint John of the Cross, doctor of the church / Saint John of the Cross ; transl. from the critical edition of P. Silverio de Santa Teresa, and ed. by E. Allison Peers
Imprint Westminster. MD : The Newman Press, 1949
Quotation The Ascent of Mount Carmel and Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling and the "Book of Job" and the Dark Night of the Soul do not suffice to explain the heroism of this mighty child who is still, with all that, under this appearance of mediocrity which has allowed the memory to be surrounded by statues that revolt anyone who ever knew what taste was, and be desecrated by a commercialism that calls to heaven for vengeance-and yet doesn't!

“Plan Mexico” Not The Answer
October 22, 2007 Dave
By David Simmonds
President Bush has requested that Congress pony up $500 million as the first installment of a $1.4 billion, two-year package to be sent to Mexico for the purpose of fighting drugs,apparently unaware that the U.S. domestic “war on drugs” strategy has been a rat-hole expensive failure for decades.
So far the Plan Mexico details of how the money will be spent are fuzzy, but helicopters and training for the Mexican army have been mentioned, which has a long, documented history of corruption and unaccountability.
Drug production has increased dramatically in Mexico since the signing of NAFTA in 1994, which largely eliminated subsidies to small family farmers, many of whom then turned to growing pot and poppies. Many others have migrated to the U.S. looking for work to support their families. The resulting social structure disintegration has been enormous throughout rural Mexico, leaving many villages with primarily women and kids, as the men have headed north.
The U.S. Congress will have many questions about the program when it is scheduled to be discussed on October 25, but there are also deep concerns within Mexico, with the fear that the U.S. will demand too much control over Mexico’s domestic drug-fighting efforts, essentially threatening Mexico’s sovereignty. A majority of Mexicans oppose the plan, according to most polls, where a long held distrust of their northern neighbor is widespread.
A better use of taxpayer’s money would be to implement education, rehabilitation and health programs in the U.S., with the goal of decreasing the demand for drugs. It does make one wonder what the actual goal is of an administration with a history of meddling in the affairs of other countries.

Acupuncture Practice
"I am licensed to practice acupuncture & Oriental medicine in
North Carolina. I have been in practice since 1978, and still love my work.
The challenges and satisfaction that comes from helping you heal are very fulfilling."
My Viewpoint
My Hours & Fees
My Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine Background
My interest was originally sparked by studying with Michio Kushi in Boston from 1969-1972. Learning Oriental philosophy and its direct influence on healing affected me deeply. I was inspired from this to study acupuncture. At that time, there were no schools in America. I chose England, where I studied with J.R. Worsley. His school emphasized the Five Element theory. His dynamic teaching was a vital springboard for me to begin my practice and continue my studies.
Over the past 40 years, I have been fortunate to learn from many excellent teachers. One among them all has had a lasting effect on me. He was Nguyen Van Nghi, a Vietnamese who lived in France and was also a western physician. His textbooks in French are renowned. He taught in America in the late 1980s and again in the 1990s. His understanding and ability to explain his ideas have been an inspiration to me ever since. He died in 1999 at the age of 90 years old. Others whom I have gained much wisdom from their spoken and written words are Giovanni Maciocia, Jeremy Ross and most important of all Jeffrey Yuen from New York City. To these and others unnamed I remain grateful.
For the entire year of 1999 I returned to school and graduated from the Maryland Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Bethesda, Maryland. This experience, both humbling and rewarding, brought me up-to-date with the teaching of acupuncture in America. Upon returning to Asheville, North Carolina, I was asked to join the faculty of Atlantic University of Chinese Medicine in Mars Hill, North Carolina. Soon I became the academic dean as well as one of the principle teachers. I remained deeply involved in the accreditation process, developing the curriculum and working with the faculty for three years. In May 2003 I resigned. Since then I have developed my private practice in Asheville. My love of teaching continues by having taught shiatsu massage at the North Carolina School of Natural Healing in Asheville. Further, I travel and teach on Oriental healing practices in England, Italy, Israel plus some U.S. cities.
Besides my acupuncture practice in Asheville, I return regularly to Maryland, where I give personal consultations and individual acupuncture treatments.
My Viewpoint for Healing With Acupuncture
photographs by M. Rossoff
rom my years of experience, I am convinced that the power and effectiveness of acupuncture is directly connected with the strength of the blood system. In Chinese medicine these are opposite and complementary: the energy (qi) and blood must harmonize for true health. With acupuncture, needles and heat applications such as moxibustion are employed to effect the qi. Traditionally, blood is affected by food and drink which includes herbs. Utilizing dietary principles of Chinese philosophy and medicine, I have seen how much better people respond to acupuncture when they are eating a healthier diet. Certainly herbs are powerful too. All together these — acupuncture, healthy diet and herbs— work synergistically for real healing.
Acupuncture need not be painful to be effective. Basically there are three styles of acupuncture practice. Chinese style uses thicker needles and stronger stimulation, seeking a clear response from the patient. At the other end of the spectrum is Japanese style. It uses ultra thin needles and little stimulation, seeking little or no response from the patient. The third way is between these two extremes. This is my way. If you are very sensitive to needles then I will use thinner needles. Most people who have not experienced acupuncture will be amazed at how minimal the needle sensation is.
Your experience of the treatment will be one of calm and peace.
You may feel your energies moving and you may become sleepy. The needles are left in for 15 - 30 minutes. There is no pain or bleeding during that time. Many people feel a positive effect, physically or mentally, from the first treatment. Others will need more treatments to achieve results. This mostly depends on how chronic vs acute your problems are, and on how willing you are to participate in the healing process by making some lifestyle and / or dietary changes.

I want to thank you for the healing work you did for me. I am still feeling the positive effect. My stress level as a teacher has been much better at school. My resistance to colds, etc., is the best ever! You didn’t tell me about this benefit. I am sold on the healing effects of acupuncture!
R. P., Asheville, N.C.
I woke up Saturday morning and was amazed that my neck and shoulders had SIGNIFICANTLY less pain...to the point that I was in great spirits today and enjoyed working outside! I was almost giddy with excitement as I told my wife that I almost felt normal...whatever that is supposed to be. Ha!
M. F., Asheville, N.C.
Just want to say thank you for helping me this past year. I am feeling much better and living much healthier than when I started seeing you. Sometimes we just don’t realize how bad we feel until we begin to feel good.
B. H., Asheville, N.C.
Thank you for all the help you have given me. You truly are a healer and I feel very fortunate to have met you.

NRC Report on Science for Environmental Protection Examines Nanotechnology
On September 5, 2012, the National Research Council (NRC) released a pre-publication version of a report entitled Science for Environmental Protection: The Road Ahead. See http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=13510 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) asked NRC to assess EPA's overall capabilities "to develop, obtain, and use the best available scientific and technologic information and tools to meet persistent, emerging, and future mission challenges and opportunities" The report discusses nanotechnology as an example of using emerging science to address regulatory issues and support decision-making. The Committee states that, to have the capacity to address emerging tools, technologies, and challenges, EPA "will need to have enough internal expertise to identify and collaborate with the expertise of all of its stakeholders in order to ask the right questions; determine what existing tools and strategies can be applied to answer those questions; determine the needs for new tools and strategies; develop, apply, and refine the new tools and strategies; and use the science to make recommendations based on hazards, exposures, and monitoring." According to the report, the example of engineered nanomaterials "illustrates some of the problems and pitfalls of current approaches to emerging technologies." While EPA provided early funding regarding the use of nanotechnology in remediation, the report states that it missed the opportunity to support research addressing the environmental health and safety of nanomaterials, pollution prevention in the production of nanomaterials, and the use of nanotechnology to prevent pollution. The reasons for the delay in early intervention include "insufficient federal agency leadership, emphasis, and policy regarding proactive rather than reactive approaches to safer design." If EPA intends to promote and guide early intervention in the design and production of emerging chemicals, materials, and products, the report states, "it will need to commit to this effort beyond its regulatory role." | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1761 | {"url": "http://www.nanotech-now.com/columns/?article=697", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.nanotech-now.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:15:24Z", "digest": "sha1:XZZWDWJ4FPOXXCOLPOM6KEO7NIEYVKL2"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2445, 2445.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2445, 3288.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2445, 4.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2445, 47.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2445, 0.9]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2445, 213.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2445, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2445, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2445, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2445, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2445, 0.32084309]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2445, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2445, 0.20089065]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2445, 0.20089065]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2445, 0.20089065]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2445, 0.20089065]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2445, 0.20089065]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2445, 0.20089065]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2445, 0.05690252]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2445, 0.04552202]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2445, 0.0653142]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2445, 0.03278689]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2445, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2445, 0.18032787]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2445, 0.46783626]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2445, 5.90935673]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2445, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2445, 4.56828015]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2445, 342.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 135, 0.0], [135, 303, 1.0], [303, 378, 0.0], [378, 2445, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 135, 0.0], [135, 303, 0.0], [303, 378, 0.0], [378, 2445, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 135, 15.0], [135, 303, 24.0], [303, 378, 9.0], [378, 2445, 294.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 135, 0.0], [135, 303, 0.03125], [303, 378, 0.0], [378, 2445, 0.004995]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 135, 0.0], [135, 303, 0.0], [303, 378, 0.0], [378, 2445, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 135, 0.11851852], [135, 303, 0.08333333], [303, 378, 0.12], [378, 2445, 0.02225448]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2445, 0.05750036]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2445, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2445, 0.08958787]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2445, -104.09356745]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2445, -4.87125627]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2445, 5.87716355]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2445, 16.0]]} |

Eric Staal and the Maple Leafs - Wishful Thinking

What was the first thing that came into your head when you heard the Eric Staal trade rumours possibly pointing to the Toronto Maple Leafs? I laughed a little. The Leafs are a team that's right up against the salary cap. So, no big deal, just trade some players to save some cap space right?

North York - December 28, 2011 - What was the first thing that came into your head when you heard the Eric Staal trade rumours possibly pointing to the Toronto Maple Leafs? I laughed a little. The Leafs are a team that's right up against the salary cap. So, no big deal, just trade some players to save some cap space right? Well, the problem is that the only players that would save space via trade have contracts that no other team in their right mind would be willing to pick up.
It's a miracle the Leafs managed to get rid of players like Jason Blake and Vesa Toskala. I'm nearly certain that when Brian Burke traded Beauchemin to Anaheim for Joffrey Lupul and Jake Gardiner he must've said "Please, for the love of God help me, I helped you guys win the cup a few years ago remember" over and over until the Ducks organization was overcome with pity and accepted the trade.
Possible Players the Leafs would like to trade
Matthew Lombardi - 3.5 mil / season - has two years remaining (this year plus one more year)
Tim Connolly - 4.75 mil / season - also has two years remaining
Mike Komisarek - 4.5 mil / season - has three years remaining (Just an awful signing all around)
Tim Connolly may be manageable as he has shown that he can still be a very useful player in many situations (Powerplay, Penalty Kill) but at almost 5 million dollars for the season I find it hard to see too many teams that would be willing to take a stab at him.
Matthew Lombardi is still injured but last I heard (which was a few weeks ago) he was expected to be returning in the next few games. Lombardi is a good player that the Leafs may be able to trade, but his track-record is riddled with injuries. If you're a team making a playoff run and you want to add to your team at the trade deadline why would you go after a player who is constantly getting injured?
Mike Komisarek will not be traded. There is no way that any General Manager in the NHL would take this awful contract off Brian Burke's hands. Face it we're stuck with him for the next few years. At least he was playing somewhat better before he got injured this season.
The Leafs are also still on the hook for buying out Darcy Tucker. His buy-out costs them one million on the salary cap each year and has another two more years after this season.
Sure, Eric Staal would be perfect for Toronto. He's the big strong top line centre the Leafs are looking for and it seems the Hurricanes have their hands tied with him. I would expect him to be moved by the deadline this year if not next year, unless things change in Carolina. The problem for the Leafs is that Staal makes 8.25 million on the salary cap per season. The numbers simply don't add up unless the Leafs manage to dump a bunch of salary. Eric Staal to Toronto is just very unlikely...(maybe Burke can call Vancouver and tell them to take Komisarek off his hands because he made all those brilliant moves to get the Sedin twins there).
Another name that has been thrown around is Zach Parise. This is a player the Leafs would love to get their hands on. At twenty-seven years old he is in his prime and he has already proven to be one of the NHL's elite players. He is also more affordable than Eric Staal at just six million per year against the cap. The downside with Parise is, that although he has played his fair share of games at the centre position, he's natural position is on the left wing and so trading for Parise wouldn't really help the Leafs need for a top line centre. Parise will most likely be traded by the deadline if the New Jersey Devils think that it is unlikely for him to sign a contract extension with them in the off-season, as this is his last year under his current contract. Parise becomes an un-restricted free agent in July and any team considering trading for him would be aware that he may only be there for a short period of time. I like the idea of Parise playing in Toronto. He could sit really nicely on that second line with Grabovski if Leafs coach Ron Wilson doesn't want to split up Lupul and Kessel. Is it possible for the Leafs to trade for Parise? I think it is. I think if they do they have to be near certain that he will re-sign in Toronto because the Leafs are not in a situation to be trading for a possible playoff run. Any team trading for Parise however, will have to give up considerable assets or very high end prospects (most likely a package containing both), as Parise will have quite a bit of value by the time the trade deadline rolls around.
Rumours have been swirling around for quite some time about Bobby Ryan. Is he on the trade block, or is he not? I don't think the Ducks are in dire need of trading Ryan, despite their struggles this season, but the word is out that he may be available and if the right offer comes around you may see him being moved. At a fair 5.1 million dollar cap hit, he is a player that teams might just be able to manage into their budget. Ryan is still young (24 years old) and has proven that he has the ability to be a big player in the NHL despite his struggles this season. We all know Leafs GM Brian Burke has ties with Anaheim so might there be something in place here? Possibly, but once again Bobby Ryan is a left-winger and the Leafs biggest need right now is a front line centre. I'm not saying that you don't trade for a player like Ryan if the right deal comes around, but I'm just stating that the Leafs are already tight to the cap and if they were to trade for one of these high priced players, they need to make sure its the right trade.
What the Leafs do have going for them is that Colby Armstrong is out indefinitely with a concussion. He makes three million per season and at the moment there is no time-line for him to return. The Leafs have a ton of injuries right now and the longer these players are on the IR, the better chance the Leafs have of freeing up enough space to make a big splash for one of these players. It doesn't help to have Colton Orr eating up a million dollars every season, but maybe he could be a salary dump/throw-in as he only has one more season on his contract after this one. I don't actually think this is likely to happen but hey, can't I be optimistic?
But what assets do the Leafs have that they would be willing to trade? Well theres a lot of talk about Nazem Kadri, but given his recent success with the Maple Leafs since being called up I don't think the Leafs are willing to trade him just yet. He's a player that could end up being a key piece of the roster in the Maple Leafs future. Colborne has been getting some looks from around the NHL. Although he doesn't have quite the value a player like Nazem Kadri has, he could fetch something in return. His short stint with Toronto was an eye opener for the team as he struggled when he was called up and really still hasn't found his way back since returning to the Marlies.
Hey, there's always draft picks in Toronto. What are those you ask? Draft picks are something teams use in June to select young players to join their NHL roster. Many in Toronto believe these "draft picks" are merely a myth, but word around the other National Hockey League teams is that they might actually exist. But seriously, the Leafs need to think long and hard before they consider trading another first round pick away. I love Phil Kessel, and I think it was a good trade thus far but the jury is still deliberating on that one. Let's see how Hamilton turns out in a few years.
Staal is too expensive. I'd love to see the Leafs get Parise, if they can sign him to a contract renewal. The Leafs are pretty deep with goaltending prospects and New Jersey's top two goalies are both almost 40 years old. Maybe we can get something going there, but any trade the Leafs make should not include Nazem Kadri, or a first round draft pick.

Fidley Watch: A Gentle Breeze
By Chris Philips, Managing Editor
As many as 350 thousand people, emitting as much as 225 metric tons per day of carbon dioxide, converged on New York City late last month to take part in the People’s Climate March, protesting carbon dioxide and its terrible effects on the planet.
Among those present were climate activist and actor Leonardo DiCaprio and climate alarmist and former US Vice President Al Gore, who arrived separately by private jet.
Also on-hand were billionaire environmental activist Tom Steyer from California, US Senators Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Mary Robinson, the former president of Ireland. The peaceful protest snarled traffic and left thousands of pounds of trash in its wake.
Speaking at a nearby conference, US Secretary of State John Kerry likened the presence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, at levels with which he is not comfortable, to the threats of Ebola in West Africa and Islamic extremists in the Middle East, saying global warming “…has even greater longer-term consequences that can cost hundreds of billions, trillions of dollars, lives, and the security of the world.”
You don’t have to take his word for it, Kerry said, or Al Gore’s. “You can just wake up pretty much any day and listen to Mother Nature, who is screaming at us about it.”
Well, it is an election year, after all.
Meanwhile, out West, cooler heads prevail. A study on the effects of all those protesters breathing carbon dioxide on our screaming earth has determined it’s really only natural. According to the new NOAA-sponsored study by two former University of Washington scientists, the rise in temperatures along the West Coast over the past century is almost entirely due to naturally occurring environmental forces, not human emissions of greenhouse gases.
Nate Mantua, now with NOAA Fisheries’ Southwest Fisheries Science Center, and Jim Johnstone, formerly with the UW’s Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Oceans, published the study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The study says wind – specifically natural, wind-driven climate patterns in the Pacific Ocean, such as El Niño and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation – is responsible for more than 80 percent of the warming from Northern California to the Pacific Northwest.
Changes in ocean circulation as a result of weaker winds were the main cause of about 1 degree Fahrenheit of warming in the northeast Pacific Ocean and nearby coastal land between 1900 and 2012, according to the analysis of ocean and air temperatures over that time.
The authors determined that those temperatures would have been different if global warming had been the most powerful influence on land and sea temperatures. Most of the warming in the region occurred before 1940, when greenhouse gas concentrations were lower and winds were weaker, the study found. In contrast, winds have strengthened since 1980 and coastal ocean cooled, even as the rise in greenhouse gases has accelerated.
“It’s a simple story, but the results are very surprising: We do not see a human hand in the warming of the West Coast,” said co-author Nate Mantua. “That is taking people by surprise, and may generate some blowback.”
Blowback indeed. While most of us aren’t surprised at the findings, it remains to be seen how this new information will affect the maritime industry and the millions (or billions) of dollars it spends annually in an effort to reduce its carbon footprint. To be sure, the reduction of pollutants is an important and worthy goal, but only if those pollutants are actually known to be hazardous.
It turns out, then, that carbon dioxide, in spite of having been classed as a hazard to human health by the Environmental Protection Agency, probably isn’t as bad as Leonardo DiCaprio, Al Gore and John Kerry might think. The concern over the effects of man-caused carbon dioxide may turn out to be a tempest in a teapot compared to what Mother Nature can throw at us all by herself.
Seattle, Tacoma Ports Announce Strategic Alliance
The Seattle and Tacoma ports said Oct. 7 that they plan to unify the management of their marine cargo terminals and related functions under a single seaport alliance, with the goal being to strengthen the Puget Sound gateway and attract more marine cargo for the region.
The alliance is to manage marine cargo terminal investments and operations, planning and marketing, while the individual port commissions retain their existing governance structures and ownership of assets.
The ports say the level of cooperation between the state’s two largest container ports, which is unprecedented, is a strategic response to the competitive pressures that are reshaping the global shipping industry.
“The ports of Seattle and Tacoma face fierce competition from ports throughout North America, as shipping lines form alliances, share space on ever-larger vessels and call at consolidated terminals at fewer ports,” Port of Tacoma Commission President Clare Petrich said. “Working together, we can better focus on financially sustainable business models that support customer success and ensure our ability to reinvest in terminal assets and infrastructure.”
Taken together, marine cargo operations at both ports support over 48,000 jobs across the region.
“Where we were once rivals, we now intend to be partners,” Port of Seattle Commission Co-President Stephanie Bowman said. “Instead of competing against one another, we are combining our strengths to create the strongest maritime gateway in North America.”
The alliance is the outgrowth of talks that began in January and were held with permission from the Federal Maritime Commission, the agency responsible for regulating the U.S. international ocean transportation system.
Subject to further FMC review and approval, the two port commissions plan to enter into an interlocal agreement, which is intended to provide a framework for a period of due diligence to examine business objectives, strategic marine terminal investments, financial returns, performance metrics, organizational structure and more.
The two commissions expect to formally adopt and move to submit the interlocal agreement to the FMC at a joint public meeting Oct. 14. A more detailed agreement for the alliance is expected to be submitted by the commissions to the FMC by the end of March 2015.
During the due diligence period, Port of Tacoma CEO John Wolfe and Port of Seattle Deputy CEO Kurt Beckett are to co-lead the planning work and coordinate with both port commissions; Wolfe is expected to be hired as the alliance’s CEO next spring following the FMC’s approval of the agreement.
The ports say that citizen and stakeholder public review of the alliance proposal will be undertaken throughout the due diligence period and that information about public meetings, how to submit written comments and other related news will be posted on both ports’ websites in the future as warranted.

Canpotex Expanding Portland Terminal Ops
The Port of Portland, already the largest gateway on the US West Coast for bulk mineral exports, is expected to become even more diversified thanks to a new expansion of the Canpotex Ltd. potash export facility at the port’s marine Terminal 5 in the Rivergate Industrial District.
The Port of Portland Commission on Oct. 8 approved plans for Canpotex, through its Portland Bulk Terminals subsidiary, to invest up to $140 million in new equipment and infrastructure to improve the efficiency of its shiploading operations and the management of Canpotex’s specialty white potash products.
“Canpotex has been a great tenant for nearly two decades, and we are excited that this world-class shipper’s roots in Portland are growing even deeper with this expansion,” Port of Portland Executive Director Bill Wyatt said.
A new shiploader, improved control system technology and an upgraded conveyance system is expected to enable shorter turnaround times for Canpotex trains and ships, while a new storage building is expected to allow the potash exporter to better manage its specialty grade products at the terminal.
“This investment ... improves the speed and quality of our operations at the terminal,” Steve Dechka, Canpotex’s president and chief executive officer, said. “But it’s not just our company that benefits; we are doing our part to try to build efficiency into the transportation system in the Pacific Northwest corridor.”
Canpotex is a joint venture among three Province of Saskatchewan, Canada potash producers: Agrium, Mosaic and PotashCorp. In addition to Portland Bulk Terminals, Canpotex has operations at Neptune Terminal in Vancouver, British Columbia.
More than two million metric tons of Saskatchewan potash, which is a mineral nutrient used in fertilizer applications, is exported through Portland annually to international markets including Australia, Brazil, China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.
Canpotex says that as a result of a long-term lease extension, it expects to incrementally increase its tonnage in the coming years.

2M Alliance Wins US Approval
The Federal Maritime Commission on Oct. 8 approved the formation of a new vessel sharing agreement between Maersk Line and Mediterranean Shipping Co., dubbed the 2M Alliance by the two shipping companies.
The FMC’s approval – Richard Lidinsky Jr. cast the sole vote against the deal – means the last major hurdle has been cleared for the alliance’s formation; China and the European Union previously approved the deal.
Maersk and MSC announced July 10 that they’d signed a 10-year vessel sharing agreement on Asia-Europe, Transatlantic and Transpacific trades, including the West Coast of North America.
The shippers say the agreement includes 185 vessels with an estimated capacity of 2.1 million TEU. Maersk Line is to contribute 110 vessels with a nominal capacity of about 1.2 million TEUs, or 55 percent of total capacity, while MSC contributes 75 vessels with a nominal capacity of almost a million TEUs, or 45 percent of total capacity.
The shipping lines say that with the agreement in place, they’ll be able to provide their customers with more stable and frequent services and cover more ports with direct services as well as improve the efficiency of the companies’ networks through better utilization of vessel capacity and economies of scale.
Earlier this year, the two carriers, which control 28 percent of the global container shipping market, were previously involved in the failed P3 Alliance of shippers. The alliance received approvals from US and European officials, but fell apart after the Chinese Ministry announced its disapproval June 17 following an anti-monopoly investigation.
The 2M Alliance partners say they expect to begin joint operations in January.

POLB Weighs Congestion Relief Measures
Port of Long Beach leadership said Oct. 8 that it’s addressing the months-long issue of cargo traffic congestion at its terminals by, among other things, identifying key issues with tenants and key stakeholders to seek solutions.
“This issue is on the top of my list right now,” Long Beach port Chief Executive Jon Slangerup said. “I have convened a high-level Congestion Relief Team to meet daily, seek solutions and solicit feedback from our staff in the field.”
In conjunction with the Congestion Relief Team, port field staff is said to be meeting regularly with customers and stakeholders to listen to their concerns, collaborate on solutions and monitor performance.
The congestion is being blamed partially by the port on a surge of larger ships that has taxed terminals at ports around the world to move cargo faster.
The Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners has also established a subcommittee to focus on port efficiency and the port says it’s also seeking an agreement with the Federal Maritime Commission to have substantive discussions with the Port of Los Angeles on congestion and other common issues of concern.
Slangerup says he has committed to issuing regular updates to customers and stakeholders on the congestion issue.
“We will do everything we can to bring our partners who operate and work at the terminals together to identify bottlenecks and implement solutions,” he said.

Information Technology and Marine Software
As technology continues to advance, maritime software companies are adapting their products to the demands of today's generation of mariners, longshoremen and naval architects. From programs that plan container stowage or maintenance routines and inspections to full-fledged ship design software, today's systems are changing the interactions between hardware, software and the user.
AMT Marine Software Inc., a privately-owned marine consulting company based in Delta, British Columbia, offers ship cargo stowage planning software for a range of ships including container ships and multi-purpose vessels. It is intended primarily for tonnage centers as well as for non-vessel operators such as container terminals, freight forwarders and shipping companies. Solutions range from stand-alone shipboard loading computer software to complex company-wide integrated ship planning, cargo tracking, documentation and electronic data interchange systems.
AMT's flagship program, SimpleStow, is designed specifically for stowage planning of container vessels and container data processing. The popularity of this program surged five years ago when the US Customs and Border Protection Agency began requiring special documents that include detailed container stowage plans in BAPLIE international standard format 24 hours before loading containers on a vessel headed to the US.
SimpleStow's user interface and graphical displays are easily accessed and intuitive for those who have minimal computer experience. The program provides a well-developed set of functions to plan container stowage, sort, filter, group, search, import-export and process container data. The program uniquely allows for a full voyage-planning scenario, not just for cargo loading in a single port.
"The main purpose of a good stowage plan is to ensure unobstructed access to containers that must be processed in all ports during the voyage with minimal containers shifting and restowage, at the same time making sure that physical limitations such as allowable stack weight, height and other parameters are not exceeded," explains Managing Director Vladimir Babakov.
In addition to an easy-to-use, drag-and-drop method, the ship planning process is facilitated by a set of built-in customizable stowage rules and automatic checks of stowage conflicts and limitations. The most complex operations in the program are supported by wizards that lead the user step-by-step through the process.
"The software doesn't require a lot of space on a computer and is highly customizable by the user," says Babakov. "With a flexible Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), cargo data can easily be imported or exchanged between any partners, including shipowners, terminals and agencies."
Eliminating the need to enter data over and over again creates savings in time and claims due to lost or mis-delivered cargo. "Port Captains mostly use laptops to work with stowage plans but I've not yet heard of anyone using a Smartphone app," says Babakov. "The main limitation so far is the size of the screen that makes it challenging working with big graphical images overloaded with data."
For almost a decade, Finland-based Eniram has been providing vessel energy management solutions to a variety of global shipowners and operators. One of their unique data-gathering products called Dynamic Trimming Assistant (DTA) helps crews run a vessel at optimum trim order to save on fuel and cut emissions.
"In order to sail at the optimum trim at sea it is important to know the dynamic trim accurately," says Director Captain Melvin Matthews. "Only then can the crew either transfer the weights on board, ballast or de-ballast to get the vessel to the optimum trim."
Eniram overcame this challenge by installing attitude sensors that include combined inclinometers and accelerometers that measure dynamic trim in real time. The data is collected continuously on the Eniram Vessel Platform (EVP) installed on board which is integrated with a vessel's bridge and engine systems.
Computation of the data uses proprietary Eniram technology which calculates the optimum dynamic trim for any given dynamic situation. This optimum trim along with the dynamic trim is then displayed on a screen in real-time to the crew on board the vessel. The optimum trim is dynamic because it is affected by almost all the dynamic factors that a vessel faces at sea rather than a fixed value for a given draft and speed.
"In our experience of more than 200 vessels we have seen an average savings potential of 2 to 3 percent by keeping the vessel at the optimum trim," says Matthews. "This tends to be higher for ships that have streamlined hulls and operate at faster speeds such as cruise ships and container vessels."
Another innovative solution developed last year by Eniram is the Optimum Speed Assistant (OSA). On a voyage between two ports it gives the most cost-effective and efficient speed profile to be maintained to arrive just in time. It takes into consideration the present and forecasted weather, currents, depths, transit through SECA/ECA areas, including engine configuration when calculating the optimum speed.
"Data-driven analysis and insights can give conclusive competitive advantage to a business," says Matthews. "Companies now have much better visibility of the performance of their vessels and the way they're being operated. With lower costs and better operational utilization, these vessels tend to have higher than average ROI not otherwise seen in the industry."
Victoria, BC-based Helm Operations (formerly Edoc Systems Group), originally developed operations software for the workboat industry, beginning in 1999, with their TugAssist product. Today, Helm offers complete enterprise information management solutions for the marine commercial transportation industry and their newest offering moves with the times.
"We are building a new platform called Helm CONNECT," says Vice President of Marketing, Rodger Banister. "The difference from our original software is that this new software is web-based, app-based and workflow-based."
Web-based is as described, meaning accessible over the Internet. App-based means the system allows for individual app purchases rather that having to buy an entire suite of modules with applications across an entire department. For instance, in the Health Safety Quality Environmental (HSQE) suite, if a company only requires the preventative maintenance application, that's all they need to purchase, then they can add additional applications or bundles of applications as required.
The most unique part of the new Helm CONNECT program is its workflow-based capability. And that means extensive client consultation through User Experience workshops. Helm personnel meet with a client company's stakeholders – everyone who is involved in a specific workflow – for an in-depth discovery process, in order to map out specific workflows that will help build out the software. Incorporated into the development of the program is the ability to compartmentalize sections so that only specific people need to see their tasks as they relate to their own individual role. "It becomes a step-by-step process and makes it a whole lot easier to complete," explains Banister. "When we sit down with them and talk about it, we become a catalyst for discovering how it is they work with each other."
Third party integration is another building block in the process of Helm's software development. The software is built on top of what's called an extensible API (Application Programming Interface), which means that any other 3rd party developer, once they're given access, can build into Helm software. "We think it's a nice solve for the market," adds Banister. "And since being acquired by ClassNK, we have the opportunity to accelerate the build so we can get to the global market faster."
Seattle-based Palaemon works primarily with maritime clients; founder Michael Armfield worked in the marine industry before beginning the new venture in 2011. The focus is on building apps for operations that help streamline and digitize a variety of functions and to help marine companies stay in compliance and pass audits for programs like AWO-RCP, ISM, and ISO.
Palaemon recently introduced Mobile Ops, a new product for harbor services and towboat operations. "It carries out a lot of paperless functions such as HSQE submissions, has a dispatch system, time cards, and a vessel management feature where you can build out maintenance routines and inspections," says Armfield. "Crew members can carry out inspections while managers or other designated people ashore can be notified if any deficiencies are created, and then start a process to get things done aboard the vessel."
Mobile Ops works on any modern device including iPhones, Androids, tablets, and computers. Crewmembers can simply fill out information on whatever device they use, then management can export the data as needed to, for instance, an Excel spreadsheet and then perform analytics.
The program has been developed with web development framework Ruby on Rails and a front-end Javascript framework, with data stored in either a document-store or a SQL database, but the end user only sees easy, intuitive prompts. "The program has a very modern and elegant user interface, big buttons and bright colors," explains Armfield. "It also adapts to the screen size of any device, all the way from the cell phone in your pocket to big laptop displays."
Palaemon also offers custom-built software solutions. In one case, an application was built for a marine company's warehouse that allowed workers to plug in pallet information and take photos of goods, which helped streamline receiving processes and also sped up productivity.
"We named the product Mobile Ops because it's anywhere; it's in your pocket or on the iPad in the galley on the boat," says Armfield. "It's data at any time which helps companies make strategic decisions and get information to the crew."
SSI (formerly ShipConstructor Software Inc.), based in Victoria, BC, offers 18 sophisticated software products specifically designed for the shipbuilding and offshore industries.
"We pride ourselves on covering the broadest possible spectrum in the marine industry in terms of the type of vessels and the types and sizes of customer," says CEO Darren Larkins. "We service very small companies with one or two people to large ones such as Ingalls Shipbuilding in the US."
In business since the early 1990s, the company began on the AutoCAD platform and a Microsoft Access database program which evolved with next-generation technologies to the point that SSI completely rewrote their software about six years ago which has garnered a new, innovative approach in 3D modeling.
"With ShipConstructor, the virtual ship is stored in a Microsoft SQL server database, and that's unique to what we do," says Larkins. "Marine companies can use this for production, purchasing, planning, and even in sales and marketing by leveraging the amount of information put in during the engineering process for all these other activities." The Autodesk platform also allows for the capacity to be able to view the ShipConstructor model in the cloud, on a tablet device or on a phone.
ShipConstructor's use of commercial, off-the-shelf technologies such as AutoCAD and Microsoft SQL Server allows it to be integrated with other business processes and applications and ShipConstructor's Marine Information Model provides real-time, concurrent engineering enabling all engineering disciplines to work within a single integrated environment that incorporates common shipbuilding standards, concepts and terminology.
Newly released, due to feedback by SSI's innovative new Client Council program, is ShipConstructor 2014 R2.1, which is now being used earlier in the design process, because clients also want to reuse the information at later stages in order to avoid rework and prevent errors.

US Rep. Alan Lowenthal (D-CA) on Oct. 3 said he has introduced a bill that would annually provide billions of dollars for construction of seaport projects such as on-dock rail, terminals and cargo loading areas.
The bill, HR 5624, is also known as Economy in Motion: The National Multimodal and Sustainable Freight Infrastructure Act, was submitted to the House of Representatives Sept. 18. It proposes the formation of a freight program that would be funded through the implementation of a one percent waybill fee on transported cargo.
Lowenthal’s legislation would create a two-part incentive formula program, available in states that develop freight plans and form freight advisory committees as encouraged under the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act, aka MAP-21, which President Obama signed into law in 2012.
The measure also would establish a national competitive grant program with broad, multimodal project eligibility. A new freight trust fund would provide as much as $8 billion annually for freight infrastructure-improvement projects across all modes.
“The movement of goods is one of the most important economic engines in our nation,” Lowenthal said in a news release announcing the legislation. “The infrastructure this engine depends on is crumbling and we must fix it, make it stronger, and make it better. My bill would do this while also taking action to mitigate the adverse environmental impacts that are the unintended consequence of goods movement.”
Leslie Blakey, President and Executive Director of the Coalition for America’s Gateways and Trade Corridors, which represents a coalition of more than 60 public and private organizations dedicated to increasing federal investment in America’s intermodal freight infrastructure, said she applauds the Congressman for proposing both an investment plan and a revenue generation strategy.
“Congressman Lowenthal’s bill has added a significant piece to the freight dialogue,” she said. “Each day, our nation’s freight infrastructure needs grow and a strategic campaign of public investment is needed.”

Port of San Diego Hosting Hull Paint Expo
The Port of San Diego is inviting the San Diego Bay boating community to the port’s fourth Eco-Friendly Hull Paint Expo, a free event featuring the latest hull paint products, along with information on proper hull cleaning and boat maintenance.
The event takes place from 10 a.m. to noon on Sat., Oct. 18, at Nielsen Beaumont Marine, 2420 Shelter Island Drive, San Diego 92106.
Paint manufacturers, representatives of San Diego Bay boatyards, hull cleaners and Port of San Diego staff members will be on hand to answer questions. Two boats that have been operating with eco-friendly hull paint will be out of the water and on display. There also will be a hull cleaning seminar where boat owners and hull cleaners can share tips and best practices on the use, cleaning, and maintenance of eco-friendly hull paints.
Port representatives will be on site demonstrating how to use an easy online calculator to help estimate costs to convert boats to eco-friendly hull paints. There will also be information on special limited-time grant funds available to Shelter Island boaters for repainting their vessels.
Boat owners within the Shelter Island Yacht Basin have a limited amount of time to apply for grant funds to convert to eco-friendly hull paint options. The program, which began in 2011, expires in May 2015.
Information on applying for the grant program is available on the port’s website at http://www.portofsandiego.org/environment/copper-reduction-program/hull-paint-transition.html

Port of Everett Adding Harbor Crane
The Port of Everett says it will add additional lift capacity to its operations in March 2015 with the purchase of a new, 150-ton GHMK 7608 mobile harbor crane.
The port, which is one of the Pacific Northwest’s busier breakbulk handling facilities, says the nearly $5.1 million investment in the new crane is expected to allow it to better accommodate its niche market of overdimensional cargoes, and provide opportunity to compete for new heavylift business.
“We are investing in our infrastructure and cargo handling equipment to continue with our reputation of safe and excellent service, quick and efficient turnaround times and huge lift capacity,” Carl Wollebek, the port’s Chief Operating Officer, said.
The new crane will complement the port’s Gottwald HMK280 crane which, like the new crane, was purchased from equipment supplier Terex Port Solutions. Working in tandem, the port’s two mobile harbor cranes would have a 250MT capacity.
“This will most certainly complement their current Terex Gottwald HMK280 and will give them the capability of providing tandem heavy lift services to their customers,” Terex Regional Sales Manager Alex Garcia said.
In addition to the new equipment, engineering work is underway to build a 140-foot heavylift pad at the port’s South Terminal facility. The heavylift pad, estimated to cost $2.5 million, will allow for both roll-on/roll-off cargo operations and mobile harbor crane operations at the South Terminal.
The infrastructure investment, made possible with the grant support of Washington State, is out to bid and is scheduled to be complete in 2015.

Seattle Port to Survey Recreational Fishermen
The Port of Seattle says that people who fish or collect shellfish from the Lower Duwamish Waterway may be invited to take part in a voluntary survey over the next year to tell researchers about their fishing habits.
The port, in conjunction with King County, the City of Seattle and the Boeing Co., are conducting the survey at the direction of the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Washington State Department of Ecology in order to learn how to better protect people who collect and eat seafood from the Duwamish Waterway.
Through the fall of 2015, staff from ECOSS, a south Seattle nonprofit, will approach fishermen along the waterway to ask questions about catching and eating fish and shellfish. The survey will take about 10-15 minutes to complete. Surveyors won’t ask for fishing license information, and information gathered from fishermen will remain anonymous.
Researchers say they hope the survey results will support better communication with communities and guide outreach to help fishers make healthy choices about catching and eating seafood in the years leading up to, during and following a Superfund cleanup. The Environmental Protection Agency listed a five-mile segment of the river as a federal Superfund site in 2001 because of contaminants in the waterway sediments.
Early cleanup efforts by King County, City of Seattle, Port of Seattle and Boeing began in 2004 and are expected to reduce contaminant levels in waterway sediments by 50 percent even before Superfund cleanup begins several years from now. These “early action” cleanups will be completed in 2015.
Additional information about the survey and cleanup is available at http://yosemite.epa.gov/r10/cleanup.nsf/sites/lduwamish

For the 12th year in a row, Tecta has awarded scholarships to children of our employees across the country who have demonstrated superior academic skills. Over the years, this generous program, named in honor of John F. Miller – a Tecta founder and its first Chairman – has awarded well over $850,000 in scholarships since it was started a little over ten years ago.
This year we had 51 applicants and most received an award. Applicants are chosen for an award based on their family’s commitment to the student’s continued academic success and perceived potential of the student, including GPA, a personal statement of their aspirations, career and personal goals, extra-curricular achievements, financial need, and recommendations from teachers, coaches and influential adults in their lives.
“I am so proud of Tecta America, a company that supports and honors its employees.” – John F. Miller, Founding Chairman, Tecta America Corp.

The assumption was that Bernie Sanders would have no chance of becoming the Democratic Party's presidential nominee. It was understood that he would get a few months to highlight the issues of austerity and inequality before quickly succumbing to Hillary Clinton's highly experienced and well-financed political machine in the early primaries—probably right after the votes were counted in New Hampshire, if not Iowa. He would then exit gracefully, assuring his supporters, with Hillary at his side nodding in agreement, that the important problems facing the “middle class” had been forcefully and irreversibly placed on the Democratic Party's presidential agenda, that it was going to be wonderful for America to have its first woman president, and that the most important thing to do now was to make sure the goddamn Republicans don't win.
I'm still betting we are going to hear that speech. But the path to it is becoming considerably more complicated, and the stage may not look the same. It’s interesting to consider how the dynamic of the Sanders campaign within the Democratic Party is unfolding.
Preliminary note: I am not going to focus on the deep problems with Bernie’s politics, which are important, but not crucial for this essay. For the purposes or this discussion, I’m going to treat the Sanders campaign as a vehicle that has attracted and mobilized many good progressives for substantively good reasons. My point here is to think about where this campaign is likely going. To clarify where I stand, I’ll put some remarks on two of the substantive political issues that should not be ignored into the first endnote.1
Let’s first consider Hillary’s assets and advantages.
We must begin with the superdelegates. The superdelegate system, through which 20% of the convention delegates are appointed essentially ex officio, with no vote of the party’s constituency, was created after the McGovern defeat precisely to prevent anyone remotely leftist from winning the Democratic nomination. This system gives the un-Democratic Party’s establishment great confidence that it can squelch the kind of uprising of its popular base that is now roiling the more democratic Republican Party. Those superdelegates, and the Party establishment to which they belong, are, of course, overwhelmingly Hillary supporters. That means she starts out with a 20% lead.
To be sure, there are scenarios that imagine scores of those superdelegates peeling off into a Sanders campaign after a couple of primary wins, as happened with Obama in 2008. These sugarplum visions ignore the fact that the difference between Obama and Hillary is nothing like the difference between Hillary and Bernie. Obama was vetted and approved by the ruling class and the Democratic Party establishment as entirely non-threatening, manageable, and amenable to its neoliberal agenda.
In 2008, Democratic politicians may have ticked off the Clintons by defecting to Obama, but they faced no reprisal from their ruling class donors,, or from the party apparatus as a whole for doing so. In 2016, Bernie Sanders is anathema to the Democratic Party establishment because he's anathema to the sectors of the ruling class that support it. it will be made quite clear to every Democrat that he or she will be pay a high cost for defecting to Sanders. Obama was not the leftist candidate the superdelegates exist to stop; Sanders is.
The dynamic of upheaval in the Democratic Party that would follow a Sanders win in Iowa and New Hampshire, and the resulting increase in public momentum will be entirely different, and much more complicated, than what happened in 2008.
Hillary, of course, entered this contest with an enormous advantage in money, organization, and media. She is the preferred candidate — Democrat or Republican — of the ruling class, and the capitalist elite that pays her $200,000 for a speech will give her all the money she needs to become President. She has a political organization with decades of experience. Though despised by the conservative media, she is looked on with great favor by the liberal commentariat, which has, also for decades, been anticipating her ascension as the first female president, another jewel in the crown of equal-opportunity imperialism. As Bernie has emerged as unexpectedly threatening, we have already seen a slew of Very Serious liberal people— Paul Krugman, Ezra Klein, Joan Walsh, etc.— arise to proclaim her superiority to Sanders. Also, she’s not a socialist.
Conventional wisdom has it that this array of assets poses a seemingly insurmountable obstacle to any challenger.
Bernie Sanders, however, turns out to be a much stronger candidate than anyone expected. He has been able to raise considerable amounts of money from the grassroots, including over two million online contributors. Although it's unlikely to have sufficient depth for a longer fight against Hillary, his fundraising has been more than adequate for the early primaries. His organization in Iowa and New Hampshire has been quite good. He’s campaigned enthusiastically, and has made nary a false step. Despite Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s efforts to limit and marginalize debates, and the media’s insistence that Hillary wins every one, Sanders’s support continues to increase. He draws huge, enthusiastic crowds, and his poll numbers climb every week.
His biggest strength, of course, is the enthusiasm he generates among the party's base. The conventional wisdom wants to attribute this to young, millennial voters, but it goes beyond that. Bernie is seen, with good reason, as a honest, transparent, fair-minded person who has a long, open-book, record of fighting for real progressive causes. He is perceived as unbeholden to corporate and monied interests, and is generally committed to what he calls “democratic socialism.” In a nutshell, Hillary flies on private jets and defends the private health insurance industry; Bernie flies coach and fights for single-payer. In today’s America, that’s the kind of difference that gives Sanders a wide appeal to the whole party constituency, not just to millennials — and, in fact, not just to Democrats. Also, he’s a socialist. Turns out, to the utter shock of the Democratic Party establishment and the media that tries to ignore him, that Bernie’s socialism may be more of an asset than Hillary's capitalism.
One might say that Bernie’s biggest strength derives from Hillary's weakness. Let’s not forget that there’s a wild card in play that could blow up the Clinton campaign in a minute: her private email server.2 But her most politically substantive problem is that too many Democratic voters are sick and tired — disgusted really — with the betrayal of their values that Clintonite neoliberalism and “We came. We saw. He died.” militarism represents. The contradictions between the party establishment and the base are becoming too hard to hide or to swallow, and Democrats are repelled by the idea of voting for a Republican-Lite again. And with every word from her, and Chelsea, and Paul Krugman denouncing the foolishness and naiveté of Sanders’s single payer and socialism, they become even more convinced that they will not. Too many progressives have seen the devastating left critiques of Hillary’s career in books like Doug Henwood’s My Turn (see essay here) and Diana Johnstone’s Queen of Chaos. Even mainstream commentators perceive that “Hillary Clinton’s desultory campaign is sinking.”
Everything Clinton represents in the Democratic Party, every scrap of neo-libservatism that Democratic voters have been force-fed for the past twenty years, is being vomited up by large swaths of its base. No matter what happens in the primary, there are going to be a lot of erstwhile Democratic voters who will just not pull a lever for Hillary. This is the fundamental dynamic that is now unfolding with the Sanders campaign, it is taking on some serious momentum, and it will be very hard to reverse.
Be Careful What You Ask For
Therein lies a big problem — not just for Hillary Clinton and not just for the Democratic Party, but for Bernie Sanders and his supporters.
Bernie Sanders is now dead-even with Hillary Clinton in Iowa, and has what looks, even to the mainstream media, like an “insurmountable” lead in New Hampshire. These states have been given a prominent early role in the media circus that presidential elections have become, precisely because their white, rural character helps, it is thought, to weed out leftist candidates. Given this, plus the assumed superiority of Hillary and the low expectations he started with, if Bernie Sanders wins both of these primaries it will be a big thing — a big media thing, and therefore a big political thing.. Even if he comes in a close second in Iowa, if he wins New Hampshire by double digits, it will be a big thing.
Let’s do consider the shitstorm in the Democratic party that will ensue. If Hillary’s campaign is tanking, and Bernie has built a powerful momentum, and the media can no longer ignore him, and the imagined black “firewalls” in South Carolina and elsewhere start melting away,3 what will the Democratic establishment do? It is certain that they will go into full-spectrum attack mode to derail him, but, as with Trump and the Republicans, everything they do or say to reject him will be further proof to the base that he’s the real alternative to the status quo. If they have to, they will, of course, go fishing around for another “moderate” Democrat who can put a stop to all this “socialist” nonsense. But who, this late in the game? Who, with enough street cred among the riled-up progressive base to stop the momentum of the Bern? Al Gore? Return of the Living Dead, I’m afraid. Ta-Nehisi Coates, perhaps?4
For certain, the Democratic Party will do everything it can to prevent Sanders from being nominated, and they will probably succeed. Whatever the party leadership does in that effort, it’s going to be too crystal clear that they are acting against the wishes of the party base. It will be too clear that the superdelegates, which Democrats don’t like to talk about because they’re so, well, undemocratic, are in fact the party’s firewall against democracy in its own ranks. As more and more Democratic bigwigs proclaim the need to stop Sanders at all costs, and, in support of that need, their own intention not to vote for him if he’s the nominee, it will become too clear to too many of the party’s progressive constituents that the Democratic Party will always trash any remotely leftist contender, and will never move in any direction but right.
But what will Bernie Sanders do when it’s clear the script no longer calls for him to go gently after being knocked out in a fair fight in the early primaries? When it's clear he no longer has to content himself with being the warm-up act, generating enthusiasm to pass on to the "real" Democratic nominee, but has a shot at top billing himself? Is he going to engage in a knockdown fight with not just Hillary or her replacement, but the whole Democratic party machine that will be out to sabotage him? Because that is what it will take to win the nomination. And if he wins the nomination, will he engage fully in the knockdown fight with the Republicans and the legion of Democratic defectors that it will take to win the general election?
From the second the polls close on a clear Sanders defeat of Clinton, the Democratic Party will begin to split in an obvious and serious way that will intensify exponentially through the primary season, and the general election if Bernie wins the nomination. To be clear: That split will happen, not because Bernie won’t support any of the other candidates and the eventual nominee of the Democratic Party, but because a lot (most?) of the Party establishment will not support him.
But everybody knows this — including, I hope, Bernie himself. Not that it makes a difference. The situation creates the conundrum for him. It is not his message, or anything the Republicans have to say, but that sabotage by the Democrats that can most hurt his “electability.” And it can. And he knows it, and worries about it.
Here nub of it: Is Bernie running to win the Presidency or to defeat the Republicans? To start a political revolution or to ensure a Democratic victory?
Does Bernie Sanders want to win the nomination and contest the general election in a fight that will — even through no fault of his own — split the Democratic Party, if he thinks that will risk allowing a Republican victory?
Or (This would be the really strong position!) is the 74-year-old Sanders confident that he can win the Presidency against any Republican challenger, whatever upheaval occurs in the Democratic Party, and relentlessly build an administration that will confront and transform Congress, and catalyze a “political revolution?
A Bernie Sanders who answers any of those questions in the negative, and who has defeated Hillary Clinton decisively in Iowa and New Hampshire, will be tempted to start slowing down his own momentum. He’ll consider putting feelers out for compromises (increased student aid, assurance of extending Medicare to 55-year-olds, etc.), and look for ways to give that concession/endorsement speech, no matter what Democratic candidate may be standing beside him.
Under any circumstances, it won’t be hard for Sanders to lose, and it will be very difficult for observers to discern whether he was just defeated despite his best effort, or let some chances slip away to avoid damaging the party. It would be devastating to his supporters and damaging to the Party to think the latter, or to think that the nomination was stolen from him. This Bernie Sanders would not allow himself to get so far ahead as to engender such suspicions. It will be very important to him, if he withdraws for any reason, to keep his supporters’ enthusiasm alive for the Democratic nominee.
This Bernie will drop out for the same reason he did not run as an independent in the first place: because his purpose is to keep discontented progressives in the Democratic Party.
Sorry to say, I think this is the Bernie we have — a Bernie who is not running to win the Presidency for himself, but to help some other Democratic nominee defeat whomever the Republicans nominate, to get as many of those disaffected voters as possible to pull that lever for Hillary or whoever is at the top of the Democratic ticket. I don’t think Bernie Sanders ever wanted to be President, to spend four or eight years managing the federal government and deciding when and on whom to unleash the imperial strike force. I think “Keep the Republicans out” is his sincerely-felt prime directive, and that his campaign has always been about helping the “real” Democratic nominee with that.
I think he, along with those Democrats who belittle him as naïve, does not understand or accept that there is a fundamental, insurmountable contradiction between even the vague “political revolution” and mild social democratic policies he claims to want, and “keeping the Democrats in.” He does not understand or accept that, by choosing to run as a Democrat, and pledging to support Hillary Clinton or any similar Democratic nominee, he has put himself into a political structure that is antagonistic to the social and political policies he espouses.
As Barry Finger put it, in an artcle in New Politics: “The position that the Sanders movement articulates – of opposition to the prevailing austerity orthodoxy in current disregard for the task of breaking with the Democrats – is at length self-defeating and cannot be sustained.“
That contradiction will be resolved during the course of the campaign, by Bernie Sanders and by his supporters. He and they will either reconcile with Democratic Party’s austerity and imperialism, in return for mild concessions on a few “middle class” issues — the choice, in fact, he has already announced, or break with the party decisively and undertake a campaign completely independent of the Democratic Party for real social reforms.5 From everybody's point of view, the quicker this happens, the better.
What’s creating complications for Sanders and the Democrats is that Hillary’s campaign has been too weak to win quickly — and maybe too weak to win at all — while his campaign has been more successful than anyone expected at building a sense that something different was possible . That unexpected situation may well make the process of Sanders’s capitulation more complicated and grotesque for his followers, and more damaging for the Party, when it all shakes out. It’s not a process that’s going to persuade many of those already-disgusted Democrats to pull hat lever. The bad news, in the present American context, is that the resulting disillusionment is at least as likely to result in depression and withdrawal rather than redirected militance among his supporters.
When the Sanders campaign started up, I read and agreed with Bruce A. Dixon’s analysis that Bernie is playing the role of a “sheepdog,” whose job is “to divert the energy and enthusiasm of activists … away from building an alternative to the Democratic party.” Dixon’s sheepdog candidate gathers in and riles up the disaffected progressives for the Democratic primaries until some comfortable point before the convention, when he “surrenders the shreds of his credibility to the Democratic nominee in time for the November election,” and “the narrative shifts to the familiar ‘lesser of two evils.’” Dixon foresaw the Bernie Sanders campaign ending “as the left-leaning warm-up act for Hillary Clinton.”
I understand that Sanders is not your typical corrupt, opportunist politician, that his career has been unusually honorable, and that his policy proposals (single-payer alone!) though very far from comprehensively addressing what’s wrong with America, incorporate real saves rather than adjustments to the speed with which we hit the wall. Having just watched former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner give a fabulous, impassioned, and spot on defense of Bernie to Chris Hayes, and knowing many of his supporters, I also understand that a lot of good people have been positively energized by his campaign. So I hate, really hate, to say that I think Bruce Dixon’s is still the operative paradigm.
It has, however, become more complicated and potentially interesting. Hillary Clinton is having a lot of trouble getting out of the Green Room, Bernie’s act is going over very well, and the producers are going to have a hard time finding an understudy for the fading star, who will keep the audience in their seats. The upshot is still, I think, infinitely less likely that Bernie gets to be the star of the show than that he delivers that concession/endorsement speech, standing with a new cast member, and our next president, who has not yet appeared on the stage.

Notes and Links
1 The first political problem political problem is Sanders’s terrible foreign policy stance. His, let’s call it ”legacy,” Zionism is objectionable, though he's not the worst kind of congresscritter in that respect, and I suspect he’s educable. I am sure the Israelis do not want to see him become President. I know, from a friend of mine in the FIRE industry, who had a high-level guided tour of Israel last year, that all the Israelis he spoke to were ecstatic at the prospect of Hillary’s election. Bernie’s proposal that we should get the Saudis more involved in fighting terrorism in the Middle East is horrific, bordering on the delusional. It is certainly reasonable for any leftist to reject Sanders on that basis of these stances. It’s an obvious, inexcusable cop-out to think you can promote a transformation of all kinds of American social policy while avoiding any thoroughgoing critique of American exceptionalism and military alliances. If even it were possible, single-payer imperialism is no better than equal-opportunity imperialism.
Another important issue is the question of what Bernie Sanders means when he says “socialism.” There are, of course, many different uses of the word. Nonetheless, I think it’s fair to say that Bernie’s “socialism” is what historically been called “social democracy.” That distinction runs, roughly, as follows: “Social democracy” is a form of altruism. It seeks social justice through the fair taxation of the rich, the redistribution of income, and ameliorative, “New Deal” or “welfare state,” policies. “Socialism,” on the other hand, seeks permanent social justice through the working class taking control of social capital, replacing the political hegemony of the capital of class with the political hegemony of the working class, the great mass of society, through all means of democratic struggle. The question for social democracy is: How much inequality is there between the poor and the rich? The question for socialism is: Who controls social capital and therefore the polity? Those who call themselves “socialist” in the latter sense (as I do), would want to be clear (and I think he would agree) that Sanders is not talking about the same thing they are , or about what historically was understood as the strong meaning of the word.

2 Despite the attempt of liberal commenters (and Bernie Sanders) to insist “There's nothing to see here. Move along,” it is inexcusable for a Secretary of State to keep state documents and correspondence about sensitive diplomatic and national security matters on a private server in her bathroom. We now know this included information that was classified “Above top secret/SAP” (Special Access Programs). SAPs are the “crown jewels” of the intelligence community, Alien Bodies-type secrets. If Donald Rumsfeld had done something like this when he was Secretary of Defense, Chris and Rachel and Lawrence would have done ten shows each on how outrageous it was. It is outrageous, and prima facie illegal, and the scuttlebutt that FBI agents are pushing for an indictment and will revolt if it is quashed, is credible. This is an egregious example of the kind of personal appropriation of classified information for which the Obama administration has prosecuted many good people. If such an indictment comes down, it will destroy the Clinton campaign in an instant.

The legend himself KRS-ONE has a single called Disaster Kit, produced by none other than Mad Lion. KRS-One is really dropping some knowledge on this new release preparing the hood for a possible apocalypse type situation. Here he explains it in his own words. "This is an opportunity to show the world what Hip Hop is capable of. This is joint is about knowledge and survival; I truly hope the world benefits from his words. By memorizing the lyrics of this song, you at least prepare yourself with a mental checklist against natural and man-made disasters." -KRS-ONE

Slaughterhouse - "Goodbye" - {Video}
Slaughterhouse‘s Boi-1da produced “Goodbye” was by far my favourite track on the supergroup’s debut album, Welcome To: Our House. The song is about saying “goodbye” to loved ones- Joe Budden to the identical twins he was supposed to have with Esther Baxter; Crooked I to the uncle who helped bring him up; and Ortiz to his late grandmother- and the different experiences of loss are movingly rendered by all three rappers.
The video pretty much functions as a reconstruction of each verse, alternating between shots of the trio sitting with relatives or partners by hospital beds and close-ups as they recount their individual stories in an empty hospital corridor. The most abstract thing about it is the decision to employ a beautiful angel of death (I don’t think it’s the vocalist herself) to act out the sampled chorus. Whilst her attire might seem a little bit fancy-dress, her appearance brings a new lease of life to the deathly hook. Indeed,when she appears rather ghoulishly in the foreground as Joell consoles his young son in the background, it’s hard not to be won over to the device. Alongside that shot, the shattering of the ultrasound image of Budden’s lost twins is also a true tug on your emotions. Checkout the video below
City of God 10 Years Later Documentary - {Video}
It’s hard to believe that City of God, one of my favorite films of all time, is already 12 years old. Back in 2002 the film entered the spotlight out of nowhere, quickly acquiring the attention of both critics and audiences alike. An ode to some of the tragic occurrences in the favelas of Brazil, the film, directed by Fernando Meirelles, centered on two friends growing up in a violent part of Rio de Janiero who end up following different paths, one becoming a photographer and the other becoming a drug dealer.
One of the most endearing aspects of the film was its gritty realism, largely in part due to the fact that the majority of the cast were from real favelas and weren't professionally trained actors. When the film was released and gained critical acclaim, winning over 55 awards and garnering over $30m at the box office, it was easy to see that it would change the lives of everyone involved, from those behind the camera to the actors themselves.
The new documentary City of God – 10 Years Later catches up with some of the talents, including Douglas Silva and Leandro Firmino who played Lil Zé at different ages, actress Alice Braga and actor/musician Seu Jorge, who played the unforgettable Knockout Ned, all of which talk about how the film changed their lives, whether for better, worse or not at all.

Machine Gun Kelly Talks About The Art Of Raging And Diddy’s Antics - {Article}
Remember that kid you picked on for not having the latest kicks? Or the one you made fun of for having problems at home? How about the one you beat up in the gym just because? Well that guy is now the most popular kid in school, and he goes by the name of Machine Gun Kelly.
Growing up was never easy for the Cleveland city native. Sleeping on other peoples couches, seeing close friends go to prison for life and witnessing family members just disappear became a regular occurrence. However, that’s all changed now after some seriously hard grafting, which in turn lead to him securing a record deal with, a man who knows a little thing or two about the music industry, Diddy.
Sitting down with SoulCulture on a brief trip to the UK, MGK, unusually cool, calm, and casual – his video antics sit him at the completely opposite end of the emotional scale – gives us an insight in to what a not-so-renowned hip-hop city looks and sounds like, explains his hate for the word YOLO, and informs us that DMX in the booth is just as you’d expect him to be.
With his debut album now in stores, Lace Up is the result of many years grinding it out on the Cleveland underground scene. With smashes such as ‘Chip Off The Block’ and ‘Cleveland’ putting him on the map, the rapid fire spitter has definitely earned his stripes as far as hip-hop goes.
“Everything you’ve heard on record is not fabricated,” he explains. “Everything I’ve spoken on so far have all been pertained to my life, and I haven’t had to reach out and use other peoples stories yet because I’m not at that point in my career where I’ve rapped so much that I’ve run out of shit from my life to talk about.” With so many trials and tribulations, MGK’s rap sheet as far as his life makes Joe Budden’s past look like a Toy Story sequel.
One record that cuts deep into these turbulent times is “The Return.” Featured on the Bad Boy signee’s 2010 mixtape Lace Up, he discusses his violent home life, tiresome school days, and a relative that endangered his life.
Particularly interested in the lines, “My schizophrenic cousin tried to end my life while I’m sleeping,” we asked MGK to elaborate. “[He] was actually someone I grew up with,” he says. “His name’s Marco. He was my dad’s older brother’s son. My dad’s brother had died in a car crash so my dad took him in.”
Outlining that he believed his uncle’s side of the family had a history of mental deficiencies, he continues to describe Marco. “He was like the older brother I never had. He was in my life before I was even born. He was really smart, [and] definitely my dad’s favourite. He had schizophrenia, but this mother fucker went to Pepperdine which I’m pretty sure is an Ivy League school. So he was really really smart but [in the end] it just came down to him stopping taking his shit.”
Recounting the events that lead to the above mentioned line, MGK admits, “Basically he isn’t around anymore because of the statement I made in the song.” He continues, “My dad actually told me everything when I turned 18. Me and my dad got in this huge argument, it was kinda like the falling out argument that we had, I had blamed him for [Marco] not being around and shit.
“I always thought my dad had killed this mother fucker or some crazy shit [like that]. My dad ended up telling me that when I was asleep one night [Marco] had come in my room, left, sat next to him and told him that he didn’t think I should… It was really creepy the exact statement that my dad [said to me]. It was some shit like I shouldn’t be in the house anymore or I shouldn’t be around anymore. He was hinting at the fact he [thought I should die], and after that, when he kinda threatened my life, my dad sent him away. I guess he’s still in a psychiatric ward.”
Big on his city, Kelz was a hometown hero way before the national and international fame. With the only major names, other than himself, to come out of the Forest City being Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and KiD CuDi, we’re told that Cleveland is a funny town as far as hip-hop goes; “We hold down the weird people,” he says. “It’s like Gucci Mane came [once] and he was bigger than Jay-Z. It’s weird.”
Quick to come to the defense of his city he adds, “I think that’s what was sweet about it. We had our own little scene there. Growing up in Cleveland was cool because we had this really internal scene. There was a point in like ’05/’06 where Cleveland was so hot but none of y’all knew about it because it was very very internal. So I grew up idolizing weird people.”
Admitting an admiration for southern music, MGK sits back with a smile on his face to recount a chance meeting with the King of the Grillz, Paul Wall. “What was cool about Cleveland was the south got a lot of their start through Cleveland. So I got to watch [the likes of] Paul Wall, Mike Jones, and Chamillionaire [blow up]. I got to watch them come to the place I used to work at before they had any of the chains and shit that they [now] have. You know what I’m saying? The place I was working at was this airbrush shop and [one time] Paul Wall didn’t have any clothes for his show, and I remember witnessing this and being like, ‘Oh my God! We just gave this mother fucker a shirt. That’s crazy’.”
Being that his flow is of a high octane nature, we decide to visit the rapid rhymers influences as far as emcees go. Surely Twista we ask, to which he replies, “Definitely Twista,” and then adding, “Definitely Bone Thugs, [and] what’s cool about that is we actually have a good relationship now. We just saw them in Sweden the other day. How weird is that man? Machine Gun Kelly and Bone Thugs in the same town overseas in Sweden. It’s fuckin’ weird. We went and partied together.”
Also touching upon an artist who appeared on the remix to his Billboard smash “Wild Boy,” MGK states, “Mystikal was big. There was certain rap that I was allowed to play in the [airbrush shop] and Bone Thugs was one of them [while I could also play] any No Limit [Records]. So I think Mystikal was a big inspiration on how my flow developed.”
Besides Machine Gun Kelly, Cleveland is also the starting point for the act of raging. “Raging is taking negative energy and turning it in to positive energy, which sometimes can end as negative energy because you can do dumb shit that [puts] you in places like jail, which is negative,” he explains with a grin on his face.
Describing one of the craziest raging moment he’s ever witnessed, Kelz laughs and says, “We did a show in Bowling Green. It was sold out and you couldn’t get in. [This guy] broke the fucking window with his head to get in. He spent like three weeks in a hospital, and after he got out of hospital he went to jail.
“I was thinking, “God damn dog. Was the concert really worth it?” You know what I’m saying? He busted it down and all the people rushed in and he didn’t even get to see the show. He was the one laying on the ground all bloody while people trampled over him to go and see the show.” Showing us an injury he sustained recently raging at a show, he adds, “It always involves blood man. Even this was just from one show. You know what I’m saying? We’re always coming home with battle scars after our shows.”
While never claiming he started the act of raging, fellow Cleveland native KiD CuDi last year caught a few feelings over the word raging. Posting on his Tumblr page, “There’s only one original rager, and that’s me. I started this rage shit. The lifestyle, the term, the whole new meaning and definition of the word,” he didn’t directly call out MGK, but a few jabs were steered at one another. Admitting, “I was actually really upset about it [because] I was like, “Dude, it’s a fucking word.” You know what I’m saying?,” we move swiftly on.
While moving away from CuDi, beef is still on the menu. This time it’s with Eminem protege Yelawolf. With a slight period of going back and forth with each other earlier on in the year, the pair seem to have now stopped taking pot shots. “We talked about doing a record together when I first saw him after confronting him about the whole situation,” the young rhymer informs us. “He gave me his number. I texted him and was like, “Yo, we should do [a record]. Let’s make it happen.” [However] I never got a response.”
Breaking down what actually happened, MGK goes in to a bit of detail – “There was the one interview where he was like, “Machine Gun Kelly fans mistake me for him and I’m just like fuck it yeah I’ll sign your Birkenstock.” He was putting me in this category [as if] I have these preppy rich fans, and that’s so the opposite of the case. I just came off the Tech N9ne tour which is a very very very grungy [event]. I don’t need to speak on the types of fans I bring out. Shit, we just came from Germany. We were bringing out straight punkers over there.”
Explaining his disappointment in how he handled the situation first time around, MGK says, “I had so many peoples opinions in my ear that I came off like this regretful mother fucker, when really my first reaction in any situation when someone says some smart shit to me is like, “Fuck you.” I’m a very, very, very, very un-soft mother fucker so when I see the response to this day I’m just disgusted that I even let peoples opinions get to me.”
Thinking a little bit more, he adds, “I’m the type of mother fucker now that’s like, ‘Dude, whatever man.’ At the end of the day that guy has had a lot of great opportunities. I’m a fan of his image and his work. If anything I think me and him should have done a record. I think that would have been the best move.”
Another two things you can associate with Machine Gun Kelly include Lace Up and EST, but what exactly are they? “Lace Up is like a mantra. A lifestyle. It’s a sign. A greeting. Lace Up is something that you kinda find your own definition to and you attached it to yourself or your life however you like,” he explains.
He uses an example from his European trip to describe its impact; “That’s why you have all walks of life that has it tattooed on them because it’s so broad. [I’ve] even witnessed it over here with people who can’t even speak English but you can do this (demonstrates the Lace Up ‘L’ with the thumb and index finger) and they’ll understand you perfectly. That’s very unique.”
As for EST, he says pointing to his EST tattoo on his collar bone, “It stands for Everyone Stands Together. It’s also the obvious; established [followed by] the year you were born. We cross out the year you were born because it doesn’t really matter when you were born. We speak for the young, the old, the middle aged. Even on mine the 1990 is crossed out.”
Making the mistake of comparing ‘Lace Up’ to the worldly popular YOLO, hilariously MGK let’s his distaste for YOLO comparisons show – “I fuckin’ hate YOLO! Fuck YOLO dude. YOLO is the worst thing ever. Death to YOLO. I hate YOLO and I hate anyone who supports YOLO.
“I hate white bitches that have that shit tattooed on their fuckin’ thighs. That shit is the worst. Fuck you! That’s so whack man. It’s honestly like… it’s a fun expression but the second shit gets commercialized that’s the second it becomes corny. That’s why I never describe what Lace Up means.”
With a slight grimace on his face, he continues with, “I never want just dumb ass drunks or College bitches that have no attachment to the meaning of my music walking around on campus like, “Why don’t you just fuck him? Fuck it… Lace Up!” I don’t want that. Just yesterday we were going up the Eiffel Tower and we had to go up that fuckin‘ elevator, and I fuckin‘ hate elevators, it was just like, “Fuck it just get on that bitch. YOLO.” It’s just funny. We say that shit as a joke. It’s funny. It’s not some shit that means something to us. Lace Up is something very, very strong.”
Telling us a few funny stories about how he came to be a part of Diddy’s Bad Boy imprint, the first involves leaving the music mogul hanging when his presence was requested.
“The first time I talked to Diddy I was in my basement. I had just got back from New York meeting with all these labels. I was laying in bed and my manager was like, “You’ll never guess who’s gonna call your phone in thirty seconds.” I was like, “Who?” She said, “Diddy.” I was then like, “Get the fuck outta here.” Sure enough thirty seconds later my phone rang – “Hello. Is this MGK? OK, I’m going to connect you to Puff.” [Diddy comes on the phone] “What’s up kid?” We started chopping it up. He wanted me to come out and see him, and I was like, “Ok.” Then I hung up the phone and was like, “Nah I’m not gonna go out and see him,” and I didn’t. He called back a week later and people were like, “What the fuck were you thinking? Why would you just play Puff?”
Obviously meeting him eventually, MGK’s first party experience with Puff was one to forever remember for more than one reason. Flying to Las Vegas, the city that never sleeps, Kelz remembers acting a bit like a big girls blouse – “We got stuck in an elevator together for like twenty minutes with 15 other people, and I was about to be the biggest pussy ever. Like I said [before] I fucking hate elevators. So I was [feeling] claustrophobic. The air was thinning and everyone was drunk.
“I almost told Puff to shut the fuck up because we pressed the help button and the lady was like, “Hi, what’s going on? Is there a problem?” Everyone was drunk and Puff was like, “Help Mother Fucker!” He was joking around about the shit at first. I was sitting there like, “Shut the fuck up. Tell them that we need help mother fucker for real.” They thought we were a bunch of drunk mother fuckers so they just hung up and no one came to help us and we ended up just getting ourselves out of that elevator. We had to climb out halfway between floors. It was so sketchy.” Adding a bit of information regarding the time spent outside of the elevator, he excitedly states, “This mother fucker showed me the craziest time. He took me to nine different clubs.”
Touching briefly upon his debut album, Lace Up, the Cleveland City representer describes an album with its fair share of genre hopping.
“I definitely dance around with genres on it. [Do] you remember on Chicken-n-Beer by Ludacris [and] that ‘Southern Fried Intro’? It’s a great intro. A crazy intro. I’ve tried to mimic how intros used to be. I got Avenged Sevenfold on it, well I got Matt Shadows who is the lead vocalist, and I got Citizen Gates, one of the lead guitarists. Avenged Sevenfold for those that don’t know are a metal band, and obviously from the opening track I already played with the genres. [On it] I’m rapping very, very, very hard bars. Fast bars [in fact] over a hip-hop beat but at the end you kinda hear the guitar shredding, and you hear the vocals scream.”
Listing a couple of other guest spots that feature on the album, MGK announces, “Me and Lil’ Jon took it all the way back to ’03, with an Eastside Boyz feel [to it]. Explaining the way in which he delivers his bars on this go round, he simply says, “I just attacked any fucking track I had.”
Admitting he is and always was a huge DMX fan, Kelz explains how they came to work with one another. “DMX had heard that I was such a big fan,” he explains. “I kept putting the vibe out there that I was a huge DMX fan and I guess one of his assistants ended up hearing about it and was a fan of my shit as well. So we got together and he gave me a chance. It took us about four hours to even listen to any music because we just got so caught up just talking to one another. We found so much common ground between conversations.”
So what was it like working with one of his idols? “When I got in the studio with him it was exactly how I pictured DMX to be. He was just very DMX. He was exactly how you’d think he would be. He’s crazy as fuck. He talks from the heart. He switches it up and gets fucking mad in a second. You know what I’m saying? And when he raps in the booth it’s some shit to see. It’s definitely some shit to see. He punches the air and shit. He barks. He means it. It’s not a gimmick. It’s really trippy.”
Eating into important tour schedule time, our time with MGK comes to a standstill. However, before he darts off to wherever he’s required in the world next, knowing DMX the way he does now, we just have to get his opinions on X’s recent belittling of both Drake and Young Jeezy. “I think that when DMX, or any [other] artist, says another artist’s name I think it’s awesome. I thought that’s what hip-hop was about,” hestates.
Finishing up he adds, “When Drake came to my city he had the balls to bring me out before I was even really hot. I mean, I was hot in my city, but I wasn’t hot nationally or even hot enough for a mother fucker of his stature to even bring me out. So obviously I’m not gonna speak down on him at all. But when DMX is saying these things about the Aaliyah album and the Drake thing it makes sense man. That was DMX’s old girl.
“What if Aaliyah didn’t like [Drake]. You know what I’m saying? As big a Nirvana fan as I am, or Sex Pistols fan, I never really play with their stuff because I’m kinda like, ‘Kurt [Cobain] could’ve hated me.’ So I don’t even like to delve in to the that.”
Machine Gun Kelly’s debut album, Lace Up is out now through Bad Boy/Interscope Records.

K-Rino - " Grand Deception" (Illuminati HipHop Song) - {Video}
Amazing..., I've been saying this for years and K-Rino just wrapped it all up in a 5 min track that you will never hear on the airwaves. Besides most people don't want justice and truth they want to drop it like its hot, do the stinky leg, get laid, get drunk, get high and get money. It's this kind of mentality why 90% of the wealth is made by 10% of the population(90/10 rule). Because 85% of humans are caught up in the Great Lie, and they love it,...this song was designed to wake you my friend. Ask yourself, are you a leader or a follower? Are you really doing what you want to do or doing what you've been trained? Leaders make their own path followers just get in line. Where do you stand?

Seeds of Ambition will be available July 15th on HiPNOTT Records. Pre-order the album now on iTunes (mp3) and UGHH (Compact Disc). Digital pre-orders made via iTunes and Bandcamp will receive an immediate download of the first single, "Blow My Mind".
Mighty Joe & Isaiah “Insanate” Mensah are the alternative hip hop group The Other Guys, and yes before you ask, their name predates the Will Ferrell movie. The two musicians are both cousins and hail from the Washington, DC area. The Other Guys began producing together back in 2006. They have produced for and worked with artist such as Homeboy Sandman, Substantial,Tanya Morgan, Sadat X (Brand Nubian), yU, and Fresh Daily.
In 2012, The Other Guys walked away from panhandling beats to underground artist, and began releasing their own EPs independently. “The Other Album” which they released in 2012 was received with critical acclaim. Their Instrumental project “The Week EP” was rated as one of the Top 25 Instrumental Projects of 2013 by DEADENDHIPHOP.
Utilizing an eclectic assortment of samples, live drums, analog keyboards, and discussing “everyday man” issues, The Other Guys’ music is a testament to what hip-hop music used to be, as well as what it could be.

Like the Ftarri label last week, Swiss-based Insub Records releases are at the crossroads of modern classical and improvisation. I would think that the compositions performed by the musicians on their releases are indeed compositions, scored and all, but there is quite some freedom in how to perform them. The first release is by a quartet of players, and I am not sure if I have already heard of them; Erik Blennow Calälv on bass clarinet, and the composer here, Lisa Ullén on piano, Finn Loxbo on guitar and Ryan Packard on percussion and electronics. They are from Sweden and are active in jazz, free jazz and improvisation. The only thing we're told about this release is that the three pieces are based on traditional Japanese scales. I'll be honest: I have no idea about scales, not Japanese ones or Western ones or others. The three pieces sound very quiet and contemplative. I can see myself sitting in a Zen garden and people playing this kind of slow music. There is silence throughout, but it never becomes silent if you understand. There is always something to hear. The four musicians move around exquisitely but maybe also a bit shy. This is part of the music they play, requiring contemplation and silence. The instruments sound like they are supposed to sound, with the bass clarinet sometimes sounding like a droney sinewave, which adds a somewhat spooky undercurrent. Altogether this is a refined CD; slow music for a slow day.
More theory (if you allow me to call that) comes from Ed Williams. I quote his information in full: "Decomposition Study is a collaborative process. The instrument featured here is an arciorgano, a special microtonal organo di legno with two manually operated bellows and 36-key octaves across two manuals, constructed according to Nicola Vicentino’s designs from 1555. The notes of the music, written according to the rules of canonic contrapunto alla mente, are passed between two organists while four other musicians disrupt and amplify the organ’s airflow, acting similarly to cellular enzymes in decaying organisms during the decompositional process called autolysis. The music is decomposed as it is played, re-composed as it is heard." The music was recorded "on the arciorgano and amplified through a 6-faced “Cube” speaker". Check Bandcamp and follow the links to YouTube, and you will get an idea. For me, it was illuminating, as based on playing the music, I wouldn't have known this. The music sounds indeed organ-like, but unlike your typical organ-drone record, the music here shifts back and forth with an organ sound, and as I saw, this is due to the players adjusting the outcome from the pipes by hand and the two organists quickly changing tones and notes. Because this is an acoustic instrument, we also hear the mechanism, adding an interesting electro-acoustic texture to the music. There is (again?) some strangely orchestral music crossing with improvised music here, and it is (again!) some highly captivating music here. It is both quiet and unnerving, and this piece highly contemplative, even when it is never in the same place for a long time. (FdW)

Except for his very first release, I believe I reviewed all releases by Berlin-based Erik Levander. Going back to Vital Weekly 455, when I reviewed his second release, 'Tonad', to 1204, when I discussed 'Inat'. So there has been a considerable gap since then, and that's because I missed out on 'Jökel', released in 2021. Being a completist, and because I got a copy, I will review that one too. Let's start with the most recent one, 'Kvad', which means 'Qud' in English. The origin of this work is a recording he made in his home country Sweden, passing a church with a choir rehearsing. That was in 2001, and recently he rediscovered the recording. The music went into both software and guitar pedals and thus recorded a lot of variations, which then went into seven pieces now on this CD. In the second track, the choir is still quite audible, giving the music a slightly religious feeling, making me fear the worst, even when the opener was a substantial piece in the best Levander tradition. However, Levander returns to his modus of atmospheric drones and shoegazing pedal work. Levander goes from all gritty and saturated guitar music to more obscure and quieter drones, making the album quite varied. It is no surprise that the music is dark and atmospheric. It comes with the territory, I think. The music is, at times, a massive block, weighing tons upon the listener. It has images of dark clouds over likewise dark forests, and the occasional chant sounds like a gothic ritual is happening down these trees. I can see this music as part of the movie, with blood, ghosts and horror. Levander once again created some very powerful, varied and quality music.
His previous album, 'Jökel', which means 'Glacier', was aptly released by the Italian Glacial Movements label. Here we have five pieces of music, and the album is also fifty-four minutes long. The music is also electronic, but that's where the similarities stop. Musically, Levander tied these pieces together, and I'd say 'Jökel' is more of a conceptual album. In these pieces, Levander depicts glacial movements with electronic means; this goes for many more releases on this label. At least, the ones I heard. There is no loudness here. Everything is subdued and quiet, with minimal development. Minimal, but there is development in each of these pieces. In that respect, the music works quite well. As much as I enjoyed the music, in all honesty, I must say that I also found the music not surprising. It's good and well produced, but it doesn't stand out from so many other drone records that work with similar synthesized field recording processes (which in this particular case might be snow and ice-based), depicting, etc. You get my drift (pun intended). But, as I know, some people don't like music to change, and there can't be enough of this for them, so there is a market to cater to. Don't get me wrong on this cold and grey (snow-free, luckily) day; this is a perfect soundtrack for today. (FdW)

True story from last week: these two CDs arrived in the space of 1 day. Two new releases by Francisco López, both with Dutch involvement. The latter might not be all too odd, as Lopez has resided in The Hague for many years. However, there are also differences between these two releases. The first one contains music that is a rework of old sound material, hence the title, '1987'. This release is classic Lopez; no information whatsoever, no title to guide the listener. Nothing. As I was playing this, I thought when López appeared on my radar. I am not sure if I know the answer. Maybe I saw his name in the 1980s, but without actively hearing too much of his music, and only when there were CD releases I heard more from his music. Likewise, I am not sure what kind of sound sources he used back then; maybe he was already deeply immersed in field recordings. In that respect, '1987' is something of a mystery. Both source-wise and treatment-wise, I have no clue. The work is exactly one hour long (on the dot), and following a six-minute fade-in, there is a loud part of what sounds like heavily treated wind recording, in which López uses some shifting in frequencies, going from bass to high end. After the thirty-minute break, the piece starts a disappearing act, getting soft and softer. The last fifteen minutes are good old fashioned López-styled quietness, ever decreasing until the ultimate zero. It's not like some of López more recent releases of heavy computer treatments, bouncing all over the place, but one long piece with little abrupt changes. Very much lots of music to be played in the dark.
'Untitled #400' is one of those more recent works, even though it took about six years to create. It is a piece of music López composed with pianist Reinier van Houdt, who is also no stranger to the world of electro-acoustic music. Van Houdt plays the stringless piano, which "consist solely of the intact framed inner structure with keys, hammers and interconnecting mechanical parts, extracted from a standard piano, and used as a stand-alone performance unit. 'Untitled #400' has two movements; Van Houdt performs the first one (following a composition by López), and the recording of that is the source material for 'Movement 2', which is "created by evolutionary studio transformation of movement 1'. It is interesting to compare both movements. The stringless piano never sounds like a piano, obviously, but rather like a percussion instrument played very mechanically. Van Houdt has a very organic touch, and the instrument becomes tangible. No doubt, thanks to great microphones, every detail can be heard, and it is one fascinating listen. Compared to the second movement, I feel some remarkable similarities and differences. Even if one recognizes the original sounds quite well here, there is also an undercurrent in the music here that is undoubtedly electronic. It's interesting to see that López chooses rather musical approaches that we don't hear too often for me. There are breaks in this piece, following which López picks up again as one would do in a proper song structure. Also, I think he follows the same compositional pattern of the first movement, but now every part is extended much longer. Like other recent work from López, the music is very much alive and present, though never noisy (of course, depending on what you think is noise music). I very much enjoyed how the second movement threaded a well-known path, the first movement, and somehow sounded like something else, another way. Fascinating music. (FdW)

Christine Abdelnour is a French saxophone player of Lebanese descent. She has been recording music over the past decade, primarily working in duos with one other musician at a time. However, she is also a full member of Magda Mayas' Filamental and Split Second groups. Andy Moor is ... a guitarist, and yes .... he played with Dog Faced Hermans and, after having relocated from Edinburgh to Amsterdam, is a full-time member of The Ex, besides playing with the likes of Thurston Moore, Paal Nilssen Love, Mats Gustafson, Ken Vandermark etc.
So expect free improvisation, and you will not be disappointed. But then, there is also a slightly unusual note here. Not only in the shape of a telephone dial tone in the fourth track, adequately titled 'Telephone'. Moor has extensive experience playing all kinds of music, from punk to free improv. The instruments circle each other, exploring the full bandwidth of sounds they can offer. The guitar playing, but also being plucked and used as a percussive source. The saxophone obviously moves between the sound of breath and the notorious squeal. Nevertheless, the whole mood is sombre and at the same time aloof, 'Unprotected Sleep' referring to hypnagogia, the state between waking and sleeping where the mind wanders and is disoriented.
Abdelnour and Moor recorded the first tracks of this CD in 2011 when they met at a festival in France. Not having enough material for a full release, the project was postponed but postponed longer than intended as families and life in general intervened. Only in 2022 they met again at the Ex Festival and record the second part of this release. It is not really possible to tell which parts were produced earlier or later, although the occasional abrupt ending might hint at early work. In any case, this is a release for anyone enjoying the surprisingly wide variety of sounds the two instruments can produce. There is also a humour warning here. And two musicians who manage to safely sleepwalk a tightrope. So to say. (RSW)

Trying to search 'Lih Kadim' on the internet gave me a zillion hits of Linkedin items. Go figure. So I still do not know what that means, but it is the title of Slovenian improvising group Sunday Sextet. I am pretty sure it is Sunday Sextet for the band name and Lih Kadim for the release. Other people seem to think the contrary ... so there - with Jaka Berger probably leading this outfit, you can expect a million uncertainties, guises and surprises.
This band played three consecutive sets at the Cultural Centre Bistrica
in February 2021 and has fittingly now published excerpts of these concerts titled Saturday, Friday, and Sunday. Friday is by far the longest (35 minutes), maybe because the energy was still fresh or the audience had not had enough. Sunday is the shortest (at 5 minutes only), maybe because the audience had had enough ....
But joking aside, this is a free improvisation jazz sextet of violin, double bass, electric guitar, reeds, drums, and Berger on synths and live electronic processing. The latter is not too prominent, it seems, although Berger is less of an acoustic musician. The three tracks, though of very different lengths, are similar in structure and approach. The instruments create a plane of sound, at times quite chaotic and noisy but very far away from total mayhem. The individual lines circle around each other, intertwine and create a surprisingly homogenous whole that sounds like a free jazz raga. The third piece is different because it creates less of a continuum and relies more on single sound droplets produced by the other instruments. Overall a little more cautious in approach. Interestingly, the release leaves you in a slightly pensive mood. Unusual for a free jazz record. (RSW)

For some, January is the bleakest and most depressing months of the year; I think that's what we are told so we hit the shops to buy more consumer goods to make us feel happy. But, alright, on this average Tuesday afternoon in Jaunuary in the beautiful city of Nijmegen, The Netherlands (Holland is not a country), I look outside and see a very grey day. In fact, because I was outside earlier today, I also know it is a very cold day. It is not difficult to understand why people think this is a depressing month. Because I like to look at things differently, I'd say 'play some music that fits the mood, the day, the weather, the month'. In other words, play some atmospheric music. I had not heard of Matterhorn Well, a duo of Imre De Cauter (cello) and Matthias Dewilde (Fender Rhodes), plus a bunch of pedals. Seeing this is a release by Consouling Records along with Icarus Records, I know that we are in fine world of all things atmospheric and all thing very alternative rock related. Here we have four pieces of free floating improvised music that plays the sustaining music card. A bow across the cello, along with pedal work, delivers a sound that lingers on. The Fender Rhodes gets a similar treatment, so everything is on a constant drift, and yet it never becomes static. I was thinking of early Organum, right after he took a tunr left, leaving 'In Extremis' behind and came with 'Hori' and 'Vacant Lights'. There is a similar approach in the four pieces here. Music that is dark, atmospheric, perhaps not too demanding but also with an excellent touch of experimentalism or even free improvisation. The latter in 'Sketch II', when the Rhodes slips out of the mood-lines. On an average Tuesday afternoon, grey and cold, in January, this massive piece of atmospherics works wonder for my mood. Not down at all, but rather uplifting, odd as that may seem. It is the elegantness of a dark night that guides the lone soul away from all too dark thoughts; music as medication. (FdW)

Reviews of music by Zsolt Sörés, who goes by the name of Ahad aka Zsolt Sores, go back to Vital Weekly 741 when I first reviewed a work he did with Quentin Rollet and Toth Pal. Reading my old reviews, as I sometimes do when preparing a new review, taught me that I don't always know where to place his work. Sörés' primary instrument is the violin, but he uses much more, such as voice, bass, grand piano, mellotron, "cymbal on the top of the viola", percussion, "mole-rat electromagnetic field explorer", and such like. Not everything all the time, as some of these instruments appear only in one or two pieces. There are seven pieces in total across these two discs, spanning some 150 minutes of music. If there is such a thing as an axis where to place the music, improvisation would be on one line and electronic on another. Sometimes the balance veers towards improvisation, especially when the violin takes the upper hand, which happens within a few pieces (but not stretching out to an entire piece of music), but when Sörés starts to layer various instruments and creates a dialogue with them, this becomes more interesting for me. When Sörés uses a voice more, the music gets a more ritualistic approach, such as in 'Ahad Anthem'. Also, the metallic sounds of 'Something About The Great Filter' have a ritualistic aspect. Especially in the three tracks that are over thirty minutes (one is even forty-five), I feel that Sörés loses track a bit and that things could have been a bit tighter. Sometimes things meander a bit too much without a point of focus. There are some mighty fine moments of massive instrumental drones, of electronics running amok, which culminate all in the title track, which is the final piece and also the longest, which, perhaps oddly given what I just said, is my favourite piece of this set. Loud, aggressive, drone-like, direct and without too many overt elements of improvised music. While not every second was engaging, I enjoyed this a lot throughout. It's just not something to take in all at once. (FdW)

This is the first time I hear a release with pieces for a sopranino solo. I haven’t heard the name Katsura Yamauchi. Apparently, he’s been playing the sax since the seventies and has been active as an organizer of concerts in Japan. Even better, he played with Derek Bailey, Han Bennink and the who’s who of the Japanese impro scene, Toshinori Kondo, for example. The aesthetics of this release is one of simplicity and confidence. The sopranino is especially hard to play in tune, even harder than the soprano sax. The pieces depict nature made into sound. Salmo (Salmon in Japanese) is the most technologically advanced piece here, with cascading waterfall runs, the type preferred by salmon to go up against in mating season. Apart from this one, the pieces are not that technically challenging, keeping the notes in tune is a different story, of course. Irrawaddy is named after the river running through Myanmar. The melody consists of long notes with faster runs in between, with silences between them. Silence is essential throughout as many melodic lines are repeated many times but with each a very slightly different length. That’s the minimalistic approach of Yamauchi. Some might find this boring. To me, it’s a mesmerizing and relaxing way of listening to music. The last piece Uzo (named after the Greek alcoholic drink, I think), is almost folklike in its simplicity and, therefore, quite an earworm. As stated earlier, this isn’t pyrotechnics on sopranino but lovely music that is a refreshing take on minimalism with ma, a Japanese concept of meaningful silence between the notes. Now, where did I put my soprano sax? Also, this isn’t his first solo album. The last one was recorded 15 years ago. I might track that one down as well. (MDS)

Improvised music from French musicians I hadn't heard of before, on a, for me, new label. I started with the only solo release by Yann Joussein. He plays drums and electronics, and we're told he explores many musical styles, from free jazz to nouse, from minimalist music to free rock. There is no mention of playing with other people. On the three pieces on this album, he plays the drums, an analogue synthesizer and a sampler. I have no idea how this setup works, but it works great. There is a certain forcefulness in Joussein's playing here. Samples of drum sounds form a backdrop of minimalism in these pieces. These go into the synthesizers, creating bold oscillations, and on top, Joussein hits the cans loud and clear. His playing is also minimal but never monotonous. He plays figures, motifs and patterns that are pretty wild. Think kraut rock mixed with world music. There is a noisy and industrial aspect to the music. Man meets machines, and they are equal partners. In 'You Can Do It', there is a raga-like drone at the core of the piece, going on and on, and Joussein's playing is the music at his wildest. In 'Free The Music', the drone is more industrialized grinding, and the drums are in their freest mode of operation. 'Why Do People Always Want More' also starts with loops, but then the motorik beats set in. I like all three pieces, in all their furious attacks, and each one gets better, with the third being my favourite.
A lineup of drums and electronics is also what Herz uses. They are Simon Hénocq (electronics) and Philippe Foch (percussion/electronics). The first is the man behind the Coax Records label, and both have a broad appreciation of music. Yet again, no other collaborators are mentioned. Herz's music is not like that of Joussein. No wild, motorik playing, no world music inspiration but music that owes more to the world of free improvisation. Especially on the electronic side, this cracks and burst, drone and sustain and hiss and squeak. It's the part of the drums that draw it a bit in the world of free jazz. On my first round of listening, I found the music perhaps a bit laidback, but upon closer inspection, this isn't the case. The music turns out to be a pretty intense listening affair in which a lot is happening—ranging from free and wild to calm and reflective, covering a variety of moods. The two players are well-connected and keep winding each other up to do stranger things. At times chaotic, sure, but there is structure to the madness, I think. Maybe it's the occasional rhythm they leap into ('Grens', for instance) or the repetition of electronic parts, but it all works very well. A thirty-two minutes and six pieces this all rather concise, but with this intensity, I am sure also enough.
The longest release is by Philippe Gleizes (drums) and Antoine Viard (saxophone). Nine pieces of free jazz improvisation in fifty minutes. Viard started such groups as Pipeline and Hippie Diktaat and has a solo project, Tumulus. Gleizes also plays with groups/projects, such as Ank, GleizKrew, Mother and Christian Vander in Offering. Now that Vital Weekly suffers from our long-term collaborator in all things free music missing in action for the time being, it will be harder to find a place for this kind of free jazz and free improvised music. As far as I can judge, having sniffed a bit around this music, so I'm far from being an expert (or lover), I'd say this duo do a reasonably traditional job with the music. Both instruments sound as they are supposed to, and they all bounces and leap around. There is some excellent interaction between the two, but I miss the sort of abstraction, and mystery of weirdness I hope to find in new music. (FdW)

Don't be confused if I say this is the debut LP by Belgium The Orphanage Committee. You saw the name before, in Vital Weekly 1319, when I reviewed his 'Continuities' CD. So, debut? 'A Significant Change' was supposed to be his debut LP back in 2020, but, you know, Covid was a thing and pressing plants somewhat no longer served unknown musicians, only wanting 200 copies and instead serving Adele, Taylor Swift and Abba and their demand for vinyl no one will ever play (oh, I had this rant in the previous review too; always good to stick to and repeat ones believes). Behind The Orphanage Committee, we find Orphan S.C. Wallace, who delivers something different from the previous release with this LP. Whereas that one seemed all about ambient and atmospherics, with a dash of rhythm, the latter plays a significant role in this LP. Ambient, this release certainly isn't. Quite the surprise, or, rather, a significant change. Sequencers and drum machines play an essential role in this music, along with sampled voices and chants. The beats used are dark and straightforward, so the music is more industrial than a 4/4 dance floor material. When the rhythm machines are shut off, the mood is dark and atmospheric, but here too, in a more industrial than ambient way. There is, however, also a melodic aspect to the music, with melodies lingering above and below the surface of the beats. All of this brings some interesting variations to the music. From proto-techno to industrial to atmospherics, and yet what ties it all together is that slightly late 80s electro sound, music that EE Tapes loves, either from those days or newly made (sometimes by others from the old days). This LP is quite different from the previous CD, which made me curious about where the Committee is heading next; I can't wait. By the way, there is an insert explaining each piece, sometimes pretty straightforward and also cryptic. More dualism there, I should think. (FdW)

I reviewed some works before from the music project behind the label Primož Bončina's Altars (see Vital Weekly 1295); there is now a new release, a limited (thirty copies) lathe cut vinyl. Although not mentioned, I think that Altars still use what he calls "guitars, synthesizers, electronics, and machinations". The previous release was about the jaws of time, and the new one "explores its vision in the forward vector, a future mantra, a Spire whose trajectory is embedded in its momentum". Musicwise it connects with the previous release as this, too, has that wall of sound approach. There is a two-note organ stab, and the guitar wails around that big time. Six strings, but who knows how much distortion and amplification? With that soaring organ tone, the piece has something of an ethereal tone. Maybe it's the massiveness of the sound? I am not sure. Maybe the word 'spire' made me think of a church. This 10" record has two variations of the piece. On side A, there is 'Spire A (S ee r)', which is the more ripping version of the two, while in 'The Burning House' version, it all sounds a bit more closed off, but at the same time there is also more air in this piece. The organ notes now fully function as a melodic bit, slow and hovering in the background. The guitar disappears, and the organ slowly flies away to pastures unknown. Two times ten minutes and two times way too short. Doubling the length for both pieces would also have made for a strong LP. Now it is a strong yet brief 10". (FdW)

Some time ago (Vital Weekly 1338), I had the pleasure of writing about TBC_CZEPOKS, a project of which Kai Seemann is a member. He included an older release for us to check out am. I was pleasantly surprised by the ritualistic character and cinematic isolationist atmosphere there. So, of course, I said yes when I was asked to review another release by Kai. The album "Hemisphäre" is a self-released CDR by Seemann and contains one 40-minute composition, which can roughly be divided into three parts.
The first part is about 20 minutes long and is a massive drone with heavily manipulated sounds. It has a bleak, almost translucent approach to its sound design, so don't expect big basses or rumbling - it's a minimalist well-designed drone that lures you right into a hypnotic state. Halfway through the composition, rhythmic structures (note from the reviewer: there is a big difference between 'rhythmic structures' and 'rhythm') are added to the composition, but the entry point and speed of addition are chosen carefully. So it's not after a few minutes you experience a rushed, uneasy feeling - I think 'paranoid' came to mind the first listen.
The final ten minutes of the track are filled with creepy manipulated voices and not-so-heavily processed harmonium sounds. As the CDR mentions the use of the harmonium, piano and samples, I can't help wondering and thinking about the amount of harmonium sounds I missed before this point, or better said, in what way the harmonium was used as a primary sound source, for example, the first part of the composition. And as the composition ends, a piano melody can be heard, emphasising the uneasy feeling... Powerful. (BW)

The last time I reviewed something by Heavy Cloud, I thought it was a private release (Vital Weekly 1352), but Heavy Cloud is also the label's name; I reviewed something else from them, so I now learned. This new release by the other mysterious Heavy Cloud deals with 'flight', "to explore ideas of creative freedom, experiences of inner turbulence and overcoming self-doubt", and is structured in three movements, take off, flight and rest. Each of the tracks comes with various related interests to these pieces, from Hitchcock's 'The Birds', Sylvia Plath, evolutionary anachronism, Keith Row, J Langer, and St Ives (place). Plus, much more; while listening, you can spend some time on Wikipedia looking at all these references. As before, there is a lot of plundering going on. Scratchy records, radio, TV, and other forms of found sound are used in these pieces, along with improvised guitar bits and very obscure field recordings. The group (if it is a group) cites tape noise, musique concrète and plunderphonics, all of which are very clear, with plunderphonics taking the lead. As before, I didn't notice the voices too much; never my forte. Sometimes they are looped, occasionally linear, but permanently firmly embedded within whatever else happens. I admit that the three movements eluded me. There are twelve pieces, but I couldn't say which part belonged where. Throughout, however, I enjoyed the music a lot. Unlike last time, the pieces are relatively short, three to five minutes, some a bit shorter, and there is quite some variation. At thirty-eight minutes, a not very long release, sadly, but it arrives in an A4 plastic bag with a single sheet the same size, and some smaller, full-colour printed cards. That tops off a great release, and this is a first-class example how to release music. (FdW)

Let's start by stating that it is a pity that the recording on the cassette is cut in two. On Bandcamp, it is presented as one piece and quite rightly so, as this is a live recording. I assume mixing (as mentioned on the cover) means creating a balance between the various instruments, but otherwise, it is presented as it was captured on February 8, 2020, during a festival the label organized in London. I assume many of the label's musicians played in all sorts of configurations, and here we have a trio of Graham Dunning (turntable, dubplates, spring reverb), Benedict Taylor (viola) and Daniel Thompson (acoustic guitar). All three play on earlier releases. This is exciting work, I think. Thompson and Taylor provide a more traditional part of the improvised music here, bringing in a lot of nervous and hectic sound, and their instruments sound like a viola and acoustic guitar. Both players don't seem to extend to playing their instruments as objects. Dunning's contribution is of an entirely different order. His records are scratchy, the spring reverb off and on leans towards feedback, and his contribution is the opposite of the other two. Electrified, at times sustaining, he delivers a tapestry of sounds in which the others find each other. Sometimes, it seems, Dunning is entirely silent, and we hear only the other two, but then Dunning drops another record and scratches his way back in. However, the music remains a conversation between the three of them. I can safely say I am no expert in this field of music, but I think this combination of instruments is quite surprising and is quite rightly released, even when chopped in two. Sadly it is only just thirty minutes. I wouldn't have minded this being a bit longer. (FdW)

First, we have an introduction, for me, that is, with the music by French composer Matthieu Fuentes. I missed his LP for Penultimate Press, but 'Ily, Almeria' is only his second release. The five pieces on this cassette deal with field recordings, sound art and electro-acoustic music and are in the best tradition of musique concrète. To that end, Fuentes uses a Revox B77 reel-to-reel recorder and a computer to alter sources and re-arrange them into new something he calls "a polysemic perception of space, sometimes with the help of synthetic trickery". Sometimes he uses a voice (maybe of the composer), along with those fine treatments that I think only analogue treatments can give. Speeding up sound, slowing these down, worn-out electronics and going through cupboards in the kitchen; anything that produces a sound is a game for this music. I had a discussion some time ago about 'what is musique concrète', and I said for me, it is a container term in which I threw a lot of things. Still, if I were pressed for a precise definition and an example of this, I'd say the music of Fuentes fits the meaning very well. There are concrete sounds cut from the real world, objects as sound sources, and electronic sounds, and all of these ingredients are stuck together in such a way it tells a poetic story. Music that meets something careful and precise but also goes in an opposite direction and is wild and energetic. Solid music and one that perhaps does not hold that many surprises.
Music from Grisha Shakhnes, from tel Aviv, made it to these pages a couple of times (Vital Weekly 1208, 985, 939, 880), but already some time ago. I am unsure why it took some time to have a new release, but maybe I missed out on some. His music is usually quite conceptual, even when the concept isn't always that clear. There is quite a bit at work regarding field recording but without much action. Shakhness captures a situation and maybe adds a wee bit of processing, and that's it. In 'About To Collapse', the recorder sits in a car, and it rains, so the window scrapers are on. Maybe a delay pedal rides along? 'Street Life' does that, capturing street life. At night, I think, with minimal action going (or maybe Shakhness lives in a tranquil area). In 'Winding Down', the tap leaks, and there is some highly obscured indoor action; again, we have no idea about the source. In that respect, is the title piece the winner here; I have no idea what's going on there. We have four pieces here, four situations, if you will, or four textures. Each of these textures is mysterious and vague in equal portions. But, perhaps, strangely enough, I found all these highly fascinating music pieces. Is there development or even change? That question I found hard to answer. There are points in all of these pieces in which something changes but is that the result of Shakhness intervening (or composing with sounds), or simply because there is a shift in the sound. Scientists are still thinking about this answer. For me, the answer is not as interesting as the question. (FdW)

Chronicles of a Runs Girl
I’ve woken up in many strange beds before but it’s always been next to a strange man who has paid me to be in his bed. Waking up alone on the bed in Rotimi’s beautiful comfortable guestroom felt strange.
I’m one of those people who can go to sleep at 4 am and still wake up at six. I always wake up before my alarm. School and needing to get out of a man’s house before it’s light outside has trained me so.
I was wide awake and unsure what to do. If he was next to me I’d have either woken him up, or if matters had been settled the night before and I knew my way out, I’d be getting dressed and I’d only wake him up at the last minute just to tell him I’m leaving. But I was alone in his guestroom and I didn’t know what to do. Do I wait for him to wake up and come check up on me? Do I go to his room and knock his door? I decided to wait, but I soon found that I couldn’t do even that. I reached for me phone and switched it on. Messages started beeping away. My battery was low so after checking that no one important had called, no call from Johnny junior, I switched the phone off and tried to go back to sleep.
I was just dozing off, I think, when I heard him knocking. It had to be him; we were the only two people in the house.
“Come in,” I said.
He was in a pair of boxers and nothing else. I was naked under the sheets. He had a glass of what looked like orange juice in one hand and a mug in the other.
“Good morning you,” he said. “Did you sleep well?”
“Yes. Good morning.”
He walked over and sat on the bed.
“How do you feel this morning?”
“I’m fine.”
“Cool. I didn’t know if you’re a coffee person or a juice person so I brought both.”
He handed me the glass of juice and he sipped out of the coffee.
“It’s almost seven,” he said. “If we don’t get out of VGC now we’ll be stuck in traffic all morning.”
"Oh.”
“Remember? We’re going to my clinic?”
“Yes, yes.”
“The bathroom is the second door on your right when you come out. Meet me downstairs in fifteen minutes?”
He smelt of soap but I still asked. “What about you?”
“I’m ready. I’m just going to get dressed. Please, don’t be one of those women who take one hour to get ready.”
He smiled to let me know he was joking then he got up to leave.
“Thank you,” I said.
“For everything.”
He stood by the door for a while looking at me and smiling. He looked as if he wanted to say something, then he left.
I wanted to impress him so I got ready superfast but even at that, when I got downstairs he was fully dressed in a black suit, a white shirt and a red tie, standing by the dining table and sipping coffee, as if he had been waiting for me forever. He looked like a banker; a rich banker.
“I’m ready,” I said.
“Cool,” was all he said and he grabbed his keys off the dining table. I don’t even think he looked at me.
We didn’t get out early enough to beat the traffic to VI and nothing could have been worse than being stuck in traffic alone with him in his car. We spent the entire hour and a half in awkward silence. After we passed the first roundabout he switched on his stereo and asked me if it wasn’t too loud. That was all the talk we had till we got to his office at VI.
Now, I’ve been to many hospitals before but never one inside a block of luxury flats. At first I didn’t get out of the car when he parked because I thought he had stopped over to see someone.
When we entered the flat that he called his clinic, we entered a normal living room. There was a lady at the dining table working on a laptop. She didn’t get up when we entered. She greeted him and smiled at me as if she knew me.
He turned to me. “Would you like some breakfast?”
I was hungry but I’d not known how to tell him.
“Yes please,” I said.
He told me to sit down then he gave me the remote for the flat screen TV on the wall and he told me I could change the station if I wanted to. Then he disappeared into a room and next time he came out he was with a short man in a chef’s uniform.
“Sunday will sort you out,” he said.
He disappeared again, this time through a corridor that should lead to bedrooms if the flat was still being used as a home. Sunday told me had had English or Continental breakfast. I didn’t know the difference so I asked him for English. He asked me if I wanted coffee or tea and I told him juice.
The lady at the table looked my way and caught me looking at her.
“That’s a lovely dress you have,” she said. She spoke funeh.
“Did you make it?”
“Wow. You must give me your tailor’s information. But I’m sure it won’t look as good on me. It’s like seeing a hair do on someone and going to get the same, never mind that the girl you copied it off has a perfectly shaped head.”
She spoke as if we were friends. I didn’t know her and I wasn’t comfortable speaking to her about my Boubou or about hair styles or anything. But she continued chatting away in her funeh even when I only responded with nods and yeses and noes.
Sunday placed my food on the dining table. I was apprehensive about sitting next to the woman to eat but she unplugged her laptop and picked it up the moment my food arrived.
“Bon appétit,” she said.
I said come and join me, and spent the next fifteen minutes as I ate cringing over saying it. Thankfully she left through the same corridor Rotimi had left through.
Sunday must have called him to say I had finished eating, because the moment he cleared the table and returned to the kitchen Rotimi emerged and asked me if I enjoyed my breakfast. I nodded that I did.
“Will you come with me now?” he said.
His office looked like a normal business office, not like a clinic at all. The lady wasn’t there.
“What kind of hospital is this?” I asked.
“It’s not a hospital, it’s a clinic.”
“You know what I mean. What kind of clinic is this?”
He smiled.
“I know exactly what you mean. It’s a long story. I only treat a certain type of clientele. I actually inherited the practice from my father.”
“You father is a doctor too?”
“Yes and my mother. And I have a sister who’s a doctor too. I guess doctors tend to breed doctors.”
“Where is your father now?”
“Retired.”
“And your mother?”
“In prison in America.”
He smiled a laughing smile. “She’s doing a research on how diseases spread in prison. She’s in America with my dad.”
“Oh, I see. But how come this place doesn’t look like a hospital?”
“Like a clinic. Because it’s not. My clients are people who want absolute confidentiality. I see maybe two or three patients in a day, my partner and I. You met her, Joyce. We see people who have problems they don’t want people to know about, if you understand what I mean.”
“I think I do. People like me.”
“Not really. But one of my clients referred you and his picking the bill.”
He smiled again.
“How old are you?” I asked him. He looked too young to be so together and have such a good life and even to be a doctor.
“I’m not going to tell you,” he said.
“Because it’s good to keep secrets.”
He called someone and another lady came to take me to another room where she took my blood. In all, I spent about two hours in his clinic and not once did I see another patient, nor did I see Joyce again, or Sunday.
He came to meet me in the parlour and asked me if I was ready to go. I felt embarrassed because I’d been sitting there waiting for him to come and give me medicine or something.
“I can go now?”
“Yes. I don’t have any other appointments this morning so I’ll take you home.”
“Ok. Thanks.”
Another silent ride to my BQ and for the first time I felt embarrassed for a man to see where I lived.
Before I got out of his car I thanked him again for everything, then I asked him the question that had been on my mind all morning.
“So, am I going to be ok?”
“Of course you are.”
He reached out and squeezed my shoulder.
“Don’t worry about a thing. I’ll call you soon as I have news.”
“But you don’t have my number.”
He brought out his phone and gave it to me. I saved my phone number on it and handed it back to him.
“Thank you for everything,” I said.
“Thank you for thanking me,” he said.
We looked at each other. He was smiling that his unreadable smile; I’m not sure what my face was doing. I opened the door to get out.
“What are you doing later tonight?” he asked.
“What?” I was already out of his car.
“What are you doing later tonight? I’m free. I could take you out to see a movie. You can bring a friend.”
“Ok.” He smiled, I closed his door and he drove off.
Mama can like to disgrace me. If Rotimi had not asked me to bring a friend, and I still don’t understand why he said I should, I wouldn’t have told her to come with us to Silverbird.
She always feels the need to say something whenever she meets someone new. We had just entered the gate of Silverbird. I saw he raise her nose to sniff the air then she squeezed her lips and nose together.
“Mnn, I smell pomp corn,” she said.
I wanted to enter the ground.
Rotimi had been walking in front of us. He turned and also sniffed the air.
“I smell it too,” he said. “We’ll get some when we get inside.”
“I don’t like pomp corn unless it’s the one with sugar,” she said.
I wanted to shout at her or pinch her or slap or something. I was trying to give her eye but she was too busy putting up a show for Rotimi that she didn’t even notice. Before I knew what was happening she was walking side by side with him and they were talking about popcorn and hotdog. He was telling her how cinemas really make their money off the food they sell and she was listening like a student enthralled by a fantastic teacher. I walked behind them watching them and thinking how so different he is; how it’s ok to say pomp corn in front of him, or be a runs girl, or be raped by a policeman, or be introduced to him by an aristo. Nothing seemed to be a big deal to him. He had offered to take me out and even asked me to bring a friend. And when I slept in his house he didn’t try to sleep with me. Or was that because he thought I had aids?
Thankfully Mama really wanted to see the movie, she chose the one we saw, and she was silent through it. Sitting in darkness next to each other, he occasionally looked at me and me at him and he would smile and I would smile back. If you ask me today to tell you what happened in Iron Man 2, I can’t. I was so deep in day dreaming and other thoughts that I didn’t even realise when the movie ended.
Mama wanted to go and get Shawarma, but to be fair to her he did ask if we wanted to get something to eat. I was successful at giving her eye this time and I thanked him but said we had to get back.
He drove us home and Mama from the back seat gave him a hug and a peck before thanking him and getting out. I was just thankful that she left us alone then she returned and tapped on his window. He wound down.
“She’s my sister o,” she told him, “And she’s very dia to me. You must treat her well because she’s golden.”
“Mama, go and sleep!”
He laughed and he let her hug him again through the window. My face was in my palms as she left.
“Do all your friends think you’re golden?” he asked.
“Mama is just a fool.”
“She’s your friend.”
“Yes, but she’s just a fool.”
“Yes, but she’s your friend.”
I didn’t get the point he was making but I sensed that it was one I should be glad he was trying to make.
“Babes, I’ve had a lovely day with you,” he said.
“And I’d like to do it again. Can we see tomorrow evening? Hope I’m not rushing you?”
“Tomorrow? I’m not doing anything.”
“Cool. Listen…”
Then my phone rang. I wanted him to continue with what he was about to say but he stopped and waited for me to take the call. I was sure it was Mama calling to tell me I should follow him home or something stupid like that. It was John junior. My heart leapt when I saw his name. It had to be about Johnny. Johnny had been released!
“I’m sorry, I have to take this,” I said.
Straight away I knew something was wrong. “What happened?” I asked John junior after the way he said hello.
“Nothing. Where are you?”
“I’m at home. Where is Johnny?”
“He wants to talk to you.”
“Is he out?”
“No. He’s going to call tonight and he has to talk to you.”
“He’ll explain to you. I’ll send the driver now.”
“No. I’ll come immediately.”
I ended the call and took in a deep breathe. I was acutely aware of Rotimi looking at me.
“What’s the matter?” he asked me.
“I have to go to VI.”
“Why? What’s wrong?”
“It’s a long story.”
“Where in VI? I’ll take you.”
I liked the way he never asked too many questions. I told him where and he drove me there.
All through the ride I kept trying to think what might have happened. I kept replaying the phone conversation with John junior, trying to see if it was only me and there had really been nothing in his voice to suggest something was wrong. If something was wrong, what could it be? I just didn’t know.
We drove into Johnny’s compound and John junior was waiting for me outside, and smoking.
I got out of Rotimi’s car so quick that I didn’t get a chance to tell him to wait for me.
“Who is that?” John junior asked.
“He’s my friend, my doctor.”
“Your doctor?”
Before I could explain, Rotimi was by my side extending a handshake to John junior.
“Hi, my name is Rotimi,” he said.
John junior shook his hand.
Awkward silence dropped between us.
John junior looked worried. “Please excuse us,” he told Rotimi and he took my hand and led me into the house. I only had enough time to turn my head and give Rotimi a pleading look.
“Who is he?” John junior asked again once we were in John’s living room and the door was shut.
“I told you, he’s my doctor.”
“Your doctor how? Never mind. Does he know about my dad?”
“Good. I hope you know you can’t talk to anyone about it?”
“Ok, you know? Or OK you haven’t been talking about it?”
“You didn’t tell me not to talk about it.”
“So you’ve been talking about it.”
“No, you haven’t? So why didn’t you just say that?”
“Why are you asking me these questions? What happened? What’s going on?”
“Did you tell that guy about my dad?”
“You want to ask him?”
“I’m going to call me dad now and he’s going to explain something to you.”
His phone had been in his hand all the time. He made a call and waited until it was answered.
“Dad? She’s here.”
He handed the phone to me.
“Johnny?”
“Amaka Omoge! How you dey?”
“Johnny! Where are you?”
“I still dey here o, with my new friends. They are treating me fine though.”
“They haven’t released you?”
“No, they haven’t o. That’s why I want to talk to you.”
“Baby, we have half of the money but I’m going to have to sell my house to get the other half. They have agreed to release my friend and his wife if we give them the money, but I need your help.”
“You need my help? How?”
“Baby, they want you to bring the money.”
“Yes, sis. I’m sorry to drag you into this but they insist that you should be the one to bring the money.”
“Me? How do they know me?”
“Me too I don’t know o. But please, just do this for me.”
“Johnny, but how do they know me?”
“Amaka, I really can’t stay long on the phone. Just tell me if you can bring the money.”
“To where?”
“I don’t know. They will call later to tell you. You just have to agree to bring it first.”
“Johnny, I don’t understand what’s going on. Why do they want me to bring the money? Who are they? How do they know me?”
“Baby, I can’t talk for long. Please, I’m begging you, my life depends on this. Can you do this for me?”
Tears were rolling down my cheeks. I was crying silently and I couldn’t answer.
“Baby, it’s gonna be alright. I won’t ask you to do this if I didn’t have to. It’s not just my life that’s on the line. I have to get me friends out. Please, Amaka, please help us. Help me. Will you do this?”
I was sobbing when I said yes but he heard and I heard him telling someone I said yes then the line went dead.
John junior took the phone from me and wiped my tears off it.
“You have to stay here,” he said.
I gave him a questioning look.
“They are going to release his friends tonight. You have to stay and wait for the call.”
“I don’t know. You have to tell your friend to leave. And you can’t tell him what’s happening.”
“No, you don’t understand. You can’t tell him anything. My dad’s life depends on it.”
“Ok. I understand.”
I cleaned the tears off my face and gathered myself. Before I left to face Rotimi, John junior reminded me not to tell him anything, as if I’d even know where to start if I wanted to tell him something.
Rotimi was leaning on the bonnet of his car. He saw me come out the door and he started to walk towards me.
“I’m staying her tonight,” I said. “Thanks for bringing me.”
“I’m staying here.”
“You’re staying here? Who is he?”
“I can’t tell you.”
He was standing in front of me, holding his key in both hands, playing with it in a twisting motion. I avoided his face but I couldn’t help looking. I wish I hadn’t. He was smiling as usual, but this time it was a different kind of smile. It was that kind of “I didn’t know you were an ashewo like this” kind of smile.
“Goodnight,” he said and he turned to leave. I turned away and the tears returned and this time they were for Johnny, for me, and for Rotimi.

[email protected] On 21/02/2012 01:33:15
Hmmm Amaka the mistress of suspense. This is awesome. I think you should write a book. I'll definitely buy it
Prinze On 20/02/2012 19:54:44
Amaka biko, u are going to make the next 7 days a long wait... This story just dey sweet
DJ On 20/02/2012 10:02:00
Mama is just a character : "pomp corn" !!!! I agree with Jude about this piece being one of the best in the series so far.
Jude On 20/02/2012 06:06:38
This is one of the best I've read so far. Am in the office but I sat and couldn't stop reading. You really can tell a story! And that part about not knowing 'what my face was doing'? Priceless
Amaka, this does not sound good at all. I don't trust Johnny Junior. You should text Rotimi and let him know what is happening because this whole thing sounds suspicious!!
drunk On 20/02/2012 01:37:04
Amaka, u have me searching wazobiareports.com for u. Nice. Keep it up.

Obama on Marriage
As an African-American man, a child of an interracial marriage, a committed scholar, attorney and activist who works to protect the Bill of Rights, I am sensitive to the struggle for civil rights. As a state Senator, I have taken on the issue of civil rights for the LGBT community as if they were my own struggle because I believe strongly that the infringement of rights for any one group eventually endangers the rights enjoyed under law by the entire population. Since 1996, I have been the sponsor or a chief co-sponsor of measures to expand civil liberties for the LGBT community including hate-crimes legislation, adoption rights and the extension of basic civil rights to protect LGBT persons from discrimination in housing, public accommodations, employment and credit.
Today, I am a candidate for the U.S. Senate. Unlike any of my opponents, I have a legislative track record. No one has to guess about what I will do in Washington. My record makes it very clear. I will be an unapologetic voice for civil rights in the U.S. Senate.
For the record, I opposed DOMA [ the Defense of Marriage Act ] in 1996. It should be repealed and I will vote for its repeal on the Senate floor. I will also oppose any proposal to amend the U.S. Constitution to ban gays and lesbians from marrying. This is an effort to demonize people for political advantage, and should be resisted ... .
When Members of Congress passed DOMA, they were not interested in strengthening family values or protecting civil liberties. They were only interested in perpetuating division and affirming a wedge issue. ...
Despite my own feelings about an abhorrent law, the realities of modern politics persist. While the repeal of DOMA is essential, the unfortunate truth is that it is unlikely with Mr. Bush in the White House and Republicans in control of both chambers of Congress. ...
We must be careful to keep our eyes on the prize—equal rights for every American. We must continue to fight for the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. We must vigorously expand hate-crime legislation and be vigilant about how these laws are enforced. We must continue to expand adoption rights to make them consistent and seamless throughout all 50 states, and we must repeal the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' military policy.
I know how important the issue of equal rights is to the LGBT community. I share your sense of urgency. If I am elected U.S. Senator, you can be confident that my colleagues in the Senate and the President will know my position.
Democratic Candidate for the U.S. Senate
In his letter to the Windy City Times, Damon Marquis writes: 'I am writing to correct several points made by the Windy City Times in the article ... . In this analysis, WCT claims that I oppose the Chicago Games, Inc. solely based on conversations I have had with representatives from Rendez-Vous Montreal 2006. This could not be further from the truth.'
For the record, here is what was said in WCT: 'But Marquis' argument is based on conversations he had with Tom Czerniecki, the marketing communications director for the Montreal 2006 efforts.' Obviously, the Windy City Times author never claimed that Marquis' argument was based solely on conversations with Montreal 2006.
More than three quarters of Mr. Marquis' opposition letter of 1/20 to ACLGBTI Members is dedicated to describing point by point his communication with Montreal 2006 ( that's 1,583 words out of 2,060 ) . As a result, it is really quite fair for the Windy City Times writer to conclude as she did that Council Member Marquis based his arguments 'on conversations he had with Tom Czerniecki, the marketing communications director for the Montreal 2006.' While Council Member Marquis may have some valid points that should be considered, by so obviously attempting to distort the Windy City Times article he has unfortunately undermined his own credibility a great deal.
Damon Marquis also wrote: 'I became very concerned that Chicago Games, Inc., was more interested in spinning the truth than telling the truth.' Is Mr. Marquis implying that Chicago Games Inc. was intentionally lying to advance their cause? If so, his charge is completely unsubstantiated. A smear of this sort is simply not appropriate coming from a person entrusted with the responsibility of advising the city on Gay and Lesbian Issues.
Like it or not, these are the facts: The Chicago Commission on Human Relations Advisory Council on Gay and Lesbians Issues unanimously approved a resolution which would 'provide and encourage all feasible and advisable support to Chicago Games, Inc. in hosting its activities after a review of award terms if its bid is accepted by the Federation of Gay Games.'
The Chicago bid effort for Gay Games VII is moving forward, and I for one am very excited to see two great cities seeking to perpetuate the quarter century tradition of Dr. Tom Waddell that is the Gay Games. Yes, Mr. Marquis, it is actually quite a bit more than just a logo.

Amitabh Bachchan's BDay and KBC - Sachin's New Record !!!
I am back after watching the first episode of KBC 4. Excellent work !!! Excellent Come Back !!! Excellent Concept !!! Excellent Show !!! People were waiting eagerly for KBC to re-enter the TV Screens. Today it came and the entry of Mr. Amitabh Bachchan - The Living Legend was more than a life on television. Amitabh Bachchan doesn't need to say anything. Nobody wants him to speak. His eyes and his expressions says everything. But as soon as he hurls his voice out, there's a vibration in the environment. Amitabh Bachchan is a great great personality and no one can beat him in near future. We have seen many actors copying him recently but none of them has touched even his nails. It is hard to beat Amitabh Bachchan when it comes to acting. Amitabh Bachchan has created a milestone which is hard for anyone to beat and cross. Many actors have tried to do it but none of them have been successful and claiming that He is better than Bachchan. Even his son- Abhishek Bachchan tried it and flopped in such a way that people are not accepting him till today.
Its Amitabh Bachchan's 68th Birthday today. I would like to wish him a happy happy birthday and I would pray for his long and happy life. Amitabh Bachchan obviously have a long life. We can see this by his age and his potential to act at this age too. People can't walk and talk properly at their 60's while Bachchan is acting, dancing, blogging, promoting, modeling etc etc. Amitabh Bachchan sleeps for just 3 to 4 hours daily. It is highly commendable. While other actors are feeling it hard to tweet daily which is confined till 140 characters only while Bachchan is blogging more than 1000 words daily. He is not only on blogs, but he also tweets. He is great and no one can beat him. Today he re-entered on the small screen through KBC 4. This show created the India's record for the biggest television concept ever. It gained the highest TRPs of 10.60%. None of the reality show and daily soaps has been successful in beating the records of KBC's viewership. This is the only reality show where the 2nd season did better than the former one. All the credit goes to Amitabh Bachchan first and then too the concept of the show. When the same show was offered to Shah Rukh Khan, people rejected it and all the craze annihilated. Now when Bachchan is back, I am expecting a big blow from the show.
Amitabh Bachchan has acted in several movies and he is highly acclaimed for the movies he has done in this modern time too when young actors have conquered the Big Screens. He has won Best Actor awards for Black and Paa. His comeback in industry - Mohabbatein rocked the floors and people went mad to watch it in theater for number of times. Amitabh Bachchan has won the national award for 4 times. Bachchan has won numerous major awards in his career, including four National Film Awards, three of which are in the Best Actor category, and thirteen Filmfare Awards. He holds the record for most number of Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor nominations at the Filmfare Awards. In addition to acting, Bachchan has worked as a playback singer, film producer and television presenter, and was an elected member of the Indian Parliament from 1984 to 1987. He is great. I have no words for him. People state him with so many names that it is impossible for me to talk anything better than them. As THE KBC is back, I know that studies has gone somewhere in darkness. I can never study between 9 to 10 from now onwards. The time goes to Amitabh Bachchan. I already read his blogs daily and comment on them too so for me it seems like I talk to the Living Legend daily. I am expecting a reply from him. Hope I'll get it soon on Twitter. Lets see.
Chalo, I had talks about Mr. Bachchan. Now I would like to talk about Bachchan of Cricket World - Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin Tendulkar "atlast" "finally" completed his 49th Century. In the last test, he got out at 98 and all the fans of cricket got depressed. Nobody can see Sachin miss his record. Today he completed his century with a SIX. He did this after 3 years. Now, Sachin is at 191*. Tomorrow he will be at crease at the start of the match. I hope that he scores his double century tomorrow. It will be so proud moment for us - The Indians. He has also created a record today - He has scored more than 150 runs for the most time. He is really the God of Cricket. I hope he creates a record tomorrow too. Till then, Lets wait and watch.

Hi Abhilash.. Such a good topic to write on. I must say the 4th season looks so fresh and new. People are watching it with the same craze. AB is definitely a Legend India has ever got. In fact people were crazy since the promos of KBC4, i think the thought of having AB back was more exciting as SRK had made a big blunder. And ya Kudos to ST he is always the hero of the show.

The Story Behind, ‘The Hill’
Last week, I posted a short story I wrote called, ‘The Hill‘. The story of a girl living with in an abusive home, who befriends a young man living in the apartment building across the street. I thought I would share my thinking process and how I finally got to putting words down to create this little love story.
I had three main inspirations that lead me to create this story. So, in the order in which they influenced me. Here they are.
In my early twenties, I had a two bedroom apartment with a roommate. Because of my job and band, I preformed with at the time, I was always coming and going from my apartment at all odd hours of the day and night. I recall, quite vividly, times that I or my roommate and I, stood outside our apartment and could hear the physical acts of violence taking place in the house across the street. It would be so loud you could hear yelling and objects breaking. I remember saying to my roommate, “I am glad they don’t have kids.”
It was such an oddity for me to have experienced such a thing that the image of that house across the street and all the, What Ifs, in my mind at the time really stuck with me.
Over the years, I played with the idea of what if they kids. What would that be like for them. From that, the story really started to take shape.
In trying to develop the characters, I would say the Sidney Poitier movie, ‘A Patch of Blue‘ was a big help. The age difference between Gordon Ralfe (Sidney Poitier) and Selina (Elizabeth Hartman), along with all the conversations that take place between the two characters as they get to know each other through out the film was a huge influence on me. It really helped me develop the characters of Jack and Jill. Even thought I saw this movie way earlier in my life, I only found myself turning back to it after I decided there was a story here for me to write.
Lastly, the nursery rhyme, ‘Jack and Jill’. This hit me early on when I started actually writing. These characters needed names and the story really needed something to tie the whole thing together. I started thinking about how I wanted the story to end. Something sweet that implied hope. Jack and Jill just popped in my head as I thought about it. How the characters “took the exit and followed the ramp up to the top of the hill, where he pulled in the the restaurant’s parking lot.” enforces the whole rhyme.
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water.
The first draft of the story and a bulk of the writing, I wrote in a web application called Write Box. Being able to change the background color to black and the text color to green really helps my Dyslexics eyes see what I am writing.
After the first draft was written, there were three subsequent drafts of edits and modifications, all done with Google Documents. Google Documents allowed me to share out the story to friends and people who’s opinions I trust when I am looking for feedback or advice.

The palaces at Mizingani
The Palace Museum (formerly the People's Palace, and before that the Sultan's Palace) was constructed on part of the site of an even older palace called Beit el Sahel, the House of the Coast, which was originally built for Sultan Said between 1827 and 1834. Contemporary accounts describe Beit el Sahel as a two-storey whitewashed palace, with a roof of green and red tiles, separated from the beach by a high wall, with a grove of pomegranates behind. The accounts go on to describe how Sultan Said spent three days of each week at Beit el Sahel, and the rest of the time at his country palace at Mtoni, about 5km north of Zanzibar Town. He often walked from the town to Mtoni even though his stables were full of Arabian horses. Every morning, the best horses were brought out from the stables and fastened to the seaward side of the wall with long ropes, to roam about and wade in the soft sand at low tide.
Another palace, called Beit el Hukm (the House of Government), was built later behind Beit el Sahel. Then, in 1883, Beit el Ajaib (the House of Wonders) was also built. These three adjoining palaces were connected by a series of covered ways and passages. A lighthouse in front of the palaces was nicknamed the 'Sultan's Christmas tree' by British navy officers, on account of its many rows of lamps. Beit el Sahel, Beit el Hukm and the lighthouse were all destroyed in the bombardment of 1896. The palace that exists today (now the museum) was constructed partly on the site of Beit el Sahel. On the site of Beit el Hukm a private house was built, which is now the offices of Stone Town Conservation and Development Authority, easily seen between the Palace Museum and the House of Wonders, set back from the road. The building has a well-maintained garden with palm trees and shrubs. Outside the main entrance is a pair of cannons, made in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1868. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1776 | {"url": "http://www.zanzibar-travel-guide.com/bradt_guide.asp?bradt=1802", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "www.zanzibar-travel-guide.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:20:57Z", "digest": "sha1:5RDVDPJC5WJ4VQIGAPLL2YFL73KP7B3P"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1909, 1909.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1909, 3157.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1909, 3.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1909, 61.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1909, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1909, 181.7]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1909, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1909, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1909, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1909, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1909, 0.38888889]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1909, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1909, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1909, 0.02239789]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1909, 0.02239789]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1909, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1909, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1909, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1909, 0.03952569]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1909, 0.04347826]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1909, 0.02371542]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1909, 0.00252525]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1909, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1909, 0.13888889]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1909, 0.48680352]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1909, 4.4516129]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1909, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1909, 4.55910826]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1909, 341.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 25, 0.0], [25, 936, 1.0], [936, 1909, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 25, 0.0], [25, 936, 0.0], [936, 1909, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 25, 4.0], [25, 936, 167.0], [936, 1909, 170.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 25, 0.0], [25, 936, 0.01011236], [936, 1909, 0.01273885]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 25, 0.0], [25, 936, 0.0], [936, 1909, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 25, 0.08], [25, 936, 0.03073546], [936, 1909, 0.04110997]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1909, 0.93081766]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1909, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1909, 0.76694775]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1909, 41.58094009]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1909, 30.99423212]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1909, 114.77606086]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1909, 14.0]]} |

‘Justice League’ Screenwriter Calls Theatrical Cut an ‘Act of Vandalism’
Matt Singer Published: April 12, 2021
Chris Terrio wants to set the record straight. The credited co-writer on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League (and solo credited writer on the new Zack Snyder’s Justice League director’s cut) has been listening to fan and critic complaints about his work on DC Comics movies for years. In a new interview, he pushes back against a lot of the criticism. Or, at least, he wants to make it clear that in most cases he’s not responsible for the stuff people criticize.
In the case of Batman v Superman, for example, Terrio says he wasn’t the one who wrote a dark script. He came in and revised an existing script that Warner Bros. already had and tried to make it more coherent, and even a little lighter in some places. (The final Batman v Superman script is credited to Terrio and David S. Goyer.)
“It was already determined and storyboarded that Batman was going to be trying to kill Superman and that Batman was going to have gone down a dark road,” Terrio told Vanity Fair. In fact, in the original script, Terrio claims, Batman continued branding criminals until the end of the movie, including Lex Luthor in Batman v Superman’s final moments. Terrio says he was the one who fought to have the character “see the error of his ways and remember his better self in the course of the movie ... Otherwise,” he added, “what was the point?” He was also insistent that he did not give the film the “clueless” and “tone deaf” title Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
He had even stronger things to say about the initial theatrical cut of Justice League, which was started by Zack Snyder from Terrio’s script, but then finished by Joss Whedon after Batman v Superman was a critical flop and commercial disappointment and Snyder left the project amidst a family tragedy and growing dissatisfaction with his work from Warners executives. Terrio says the studio mandated the finished movie be under two hours, a nearly impossible task for a massive blockbuster introducing several huge superheroes to movie audiences for the first time and bringing Superman back from the dead and creating a Justice League all at the same time.
When Whedon took over the project, Terrio says he “didn’t realize how much of the film was going to be changed—or vandalized, in my opinion.” What was left of his writing in that theatrical work he describes as “a dinosaur skeleton of what had been a great, lumbering best.” He even wanted to take his name off of Justice League, but claims by the point he saw the film and realized how bad it was, it was too late to do so without causing major delays to the picture’s theatrical release.
Now that Zack Snyder’s Justice League exists on HBO Max you can see Terrio’s work at something like its intended length and judge it for yourself. (The Batman v Superman “Ultimate Edition” is there as well, restoring much of Terrio’s material that was cut out for the sake of a more manageable runtime, and at the cost of its narrative logic.) As for Terrio, he went on to work on the script for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Someday, I wonder if he’ll be giving a similar interview about his experience with executives on that movie.

Darren Wardle
Past Artist In Residence
The Australian painter, Darren Wardle, joined 18th Street as the Australia Council for the Arts’ Artist-in-Residence for four months in 2004. While here, Wardle developed a mass of research material in the form of digital and analog photography, in which he documented the suburban sprawl and mass of vernacular architecture of greater Los Angeles. After returning to Australia, he then developed these photographs into a series of finished paintings. In general, his paintings explore the extended possibilities of the painting process, resulting in seamless, nearly cinematic urban landscapes.
Continuously exploring new ‘spaces’ such as those produced by the after effects of the industry’s impact on the landscape, Wardle attempts to realize the “unreal” in his quest to capture manmade urban abstractions. Continuously exploring new “spaces” such as those produced by the aftereffects of the industry’s impact on the landscape, Wardle attempts to realize the “unreal” in his quest to capture manmade urban abstractions. Invoking the now iconic architectural phenomenon of the suburban office-scape, the artist, who sites Ridley Scott’s 1980′s classic cult film Blade Runner as a major influence, renders a seemingly post-apocalyptic view of his subjects.

Obama to Prince Harry: Leaders must use care on social media
Posted By: q92hitmusicnow December 27, 2017
Former President Barack Obama told Prince Harry in an interview broadcast Wednesday that people in leadership roles must be careful in their use of social media and warned against spending too much time immersed in the internet at the expense of the world outside.
LONDON — Former President Barack Obama told Prince Harry in an interview broadcast Wednesday that people in leadership roles must be careful in their use of social media and warned against spending too much time immersed in the internet at the expense of the world outside.
Obama did not, however, directly mention his successor, President Donald Trump, who has made the use of Twitter a centerpiece of his presidency.
“All of us in leadership have to find ways to recreate a common space on the internet,” he said. “One of the dangers of the internet is people can have entirely different realities. They can be just cocooned in information that reinforces their current biases.”
He spoke with Harry in the prince’s capacity as guest editor of the BBC Radio 4 news program. Both men said the interview, recorded in Canada in September, was Obama’s first since leaving the presidency in January.
Obama said he felt serene the day he left the White House at the end of his second four-year term despite the vast amount of work that remained unfinished. He said it was “hugely liberating” to be able to set his own agenda in the morning to have the time to talk with his wife, Michelle, now that he is no longer president.
“I miss the work itself because it was fascinating,” Obama said of his eight years in the Oval Office, citing his health care reforms as one of his proudest achievements.
In a brief live segment at the end of the show, Harry said he did not know if Obama would be on the guest list for his wedding in May to American actress Meghan Markle.
“I don’t know about that, we haven’t even put the invite or the guest list together, who knows if he’s going to be invited or not,” Harry said. “I wouldn’t want to ruin that surprise.”
The Sun newspaper, a popular tabloid, has suggested that the British government is concerned that Harry and Markle may invite the Obamas but not Trump, possibly straining ties between the two governments.
Harry did say his fiancee enjoyed her first Christmas with the royal family.
“The family loved having her there,” Harry said.
The prince used his position to ask Obama a “lightning round” of questions of the type normally asked of entertainers, not politicians.
The former president declined to say whether he wears boxers or briefs, preserving a bit of post-presidential dignity, but was willing to say he prefers Aretha Franklin to Tina Turner — “Aretha is the best,” he said of the Queen of Soul — and favors retired basketball star Michael Jordan over current phenom LeBron James.
Obama rejected gloomy prognostications about the state of the world, saying that in many ways the world is healthier and wealthier than it has ever been, making it perhaps the best time in human history to be born.
He cited improved treatment of African-Americans and greatly expanded opportunities for young women as achievements of the past few generations that give him hope for the future.
Harry also interviewed his father, Prince Charles, who offered a more downbeat assessment. He said the root causes of climate change are not being addressed even as it caused “untold horrors” in different parts of the world.

A multi-faceted mural to remember a family’s fight against HIV-AIDS
adminأغسطس 31, 2022
On August 4, we proceeded to the inauguration of the new mural in tribute to Ron Farha (1956-1993) at the corner of Sainte-Catherine and Beaudry streets. The result of the collaboration of several people and organizations, this fresco commemorates the fight against HIV-AIDS led by Ron Farha, founder of the Farha Foundation and the Ça Marche walkathon, which he never had the opportunity to see. since he died a few months before the first edition.
An original mural had been painted on the corner of Sainte-Catherine and Wolfe streets more than twenty years ago by young people from the TAPAJ program, as Saint-Jacques municipal councilor Robert Beaudry, who worked for this organization at the time. But the mural was in poor condition, peeling off and, moreover, had ended up being made invisible by the installations in the Galerie Blanc space (replaced this year by the Place du Village).
So that the fight against HIV-AIDS and the deaths it caused in the 1980s and 1990s in Montreal will not be forgotten, Michel Bélanger (ex-director of communications for the Farha Foundation), Gabriel Girard (sociologist and researcher at INSERM in Marseille) and Denis-Daniel Boullé (columnist and journalist at Fugues) formed a committee three years ago to revive this mural, now relocated near the Beaudry metro station and reinterpreted by artist XRAY (Bryan Keith Lanier), with the collaboration of MU. Remember that for a little over 25 years, the Farha Foundation has redistributed nearly ten million dollars to AIDS organizations and shelters. Carolyn, Nancy and Linda Farha, Ron Farha’s sisters, were on hand for the occasion, along with other family members, as well as Ron’s ex-husband, Michael Kleiman.
The context of this inauguration was special, as Denis-Daniel Boullé recalled in his speech: “We are inaugurating the mural while the 24th International AIDS Conference has just ended and we are in the midst of Pride celebrations. It couldn’t have come at a better time. This dream of Ron Farha, we share it and believe that AIDS will one day be definitively defeated”.
“The original mural symbolized the fight against HIV/AIDS and paid tribute to all those who have been killed by the disease, including Ron himself,” recalls his sister Carolyn. She quotes Ron, who said: “’AIDS will go away one day, until then we have the opportunity to learn and grow… And we have to’. Fortunately, today people are not dying of AIDS like 30 years ago, although there is still a long way to go,” said Carolyn Farha.
Robert Beaudry, speaking from his heart insisted on the fact that HIV-AIDS is still rampant, that “it is a pandemic that still kills today and there are people who still suffer from it, these people still today are stigmatized”. “We have a great responsibility, as a large metropolis, to continue to fight this disease,” recalls Robert Beaudry. It should be remembered that nearly five years ago, on December 1, 2017, Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante signed the famous UNAIDS declaration to make Montreal an AIDS-free city by 2030.
“This mural makes us very proud and for many reasons. I am proud, but I am also moved today, ”noted Elizabeth-Ann Doyle, director general of the MU organization in front of the fresco. She underlined, along with other speakers, the tenacity of Gabriel Girard, Denis-Daniel Boullé and Michel Bélanger to “save” Ron Farha’s mural. And said she was amply satisfied with the “reinterpretation and great creativity demonstrated by the artist XRAY[…]in this new work.
“I did not seek to redo the mural as it was,” explained artist XRAY. “I wanted to create a connection between the time in which we live and the one in which Ron Farha was, a link between the past and the present. Hence the pink triangle which was on the original mural and which symbolizes the time when Ron lived, and the rainbow which represents our time. »
Detained in France for professional reasons, Gabriel Girard made a point of sending a
message that Denis-Daniel Boullé addressed to the crowd: “This mural represents a memorial “trace” of the fight against HIV in Montreal, a landmark of this tremendous community mobilization in the face of the disease. This work of memory cannot be reduced to contemplating a past frozen in nostalgia. Conversely, it is an essential lever for action, at a time when new epidemics are testing our solidarity and our ways of life”.

Harry Potter 1st Edition Book Sells for Almost 100k
Getty Images / Handout
Little did we know that a little book published in 1997 from a new, unknown author would bring forth an entertainment empire that rivals all others. J.K. Rowling was a researcher and bilingual secretary for Amnesty International when she first came up with the idea of Harry Potter. The first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was released to no fanfare.
There weren't lines around every bookstore in the world, in fact a paltry 500 first-edition books were produced. Of those 500, 300 were sent to libraries - that means only 200 of these precious tomes were made available to the public. There was an error on page 53 - in the collectible book world that's a huge deal. Consider the stark contrast to the number of books in the series that have been sold worldwide, as of today - that number is close to 500 million.
One of those rare, first edition hardcovers just sold for close to $100,000 at a sale hosted at Hansons Auctioneers on Tuesday. It was purchased by an unnamed private collector at a 1500% profit. What's stranger still is the book sat on a shelf for 21 years collecting dust. The seller is an English man who moved to Belgium. He bought the book to help teach his kids English. A friend suggested that if his copy was a first-edition it could be worth a pretty penny, and that's what led him to a $100,000.
If you'll excuse me, I'm going to check my bookshelf - just in case.

Journal entries are an important part of job costing. Job costing is the process of calculating and tracking the cost of a job or project. This is especially important for businesses that produce custom or one-off products. Job costing helps businesses measure their performance and make decisions about pricing, production, and budgeting. The journal entries used in job costing help businesses track all the costs associated with a particular job. These journal entries are typically divided into direct material costs, direct labor costs, overhead costs, and administrative costs. Each of these categories of costs are recorded separately in the journal entry. The journal entries for job costing should begin with the purchase of materials. This is the cost of the raw materials needed to complete the job. This is usually recorded as a debit to the materials inventory account and a credit to the cash account. Next, labor costs should be recorded. This is the cost of the labor needed to complete the job, including wages, benefits, and training. This is usually recorded as a debit to the labor costs account and a credit to the cash account. Overhead costs should also be recorded. This is the cost of any indirect expenses associated with the job, such as rent, utilities, and insurance. This is usually recorded as a debit to the overhead costs account and a credit to the cash account. Finally, administrative costs should be recorded. This is the cost of any administrative expenses associated with the job, such as office supplies, travel, and marketing. This is usually recorded as a debit to the administrative costs account and a credit to the cash account. By recording all of these costs separately in the journal entries, businesses can accurately track the costs associated with a job and make informed decisions about pricing and budgeting. Job costing journal entries are an essential part of any business’s financial system.

Josh Duggar Found Guilty of Possessing Child Pornography

19 Kids and Counting star Josh Duggar has been found guilty of possessing child pornography.
On Thursday (Dec. 9), a Fayetteville, Ark. jury found the reality star guilty on two counts, including receiving and possessing the child pornography. Duggar could face up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. It is unclear when his sentencing will take place.
The federal case began on Nov. 30 when the defense argued that someone else downloaded the child pornography to Duggar's computer. According to court documents, Duggar created a Linux partition, which acted as a separate computer, in order to download the images of sexual abuse to a work computer at a used car dealership. Some of the victims were under the age of 10.
Duggar's wife, Anna, with whom he shares seven children, sat in the front row every day of the trial.
Computer forensic analyst James Follett testified that one of Duggar's old iPhones was used near his computer at the time Duggar downloaded the child pornography. He noted that along with the time and place connections, they discovered similar passwords being used, geolocation confirmations and timestamped text messages and photos to corroborate that Duggar downloaded the material.
In addition, the Duggar family's longtime family friend Bobye Holt testified that Duggar admitted to her in 2003 and again in 2005 that he molested four female children when he was 12, as well as again when he turned 15. One of the girls was just 5 at the time of the assault.
Homeland Security discovered the child pornography on Duggar's Wholesale Motorcars computer back in 2019. Duggar pleaded not guilty to the crimes.
The spinoff of 19 Kids and Counting, Counting On, was canceled following Duggar's charges.

New Movie Comes to Faulkner Planetarium

TWIN FALLS, Idaho - It wasn't only the little train that could, but the little star too.
The Faulkner Planetarium on Tuesday, Aug. 7, will start showing a new full-dome movie geared to young audiences. The film, titled "The Little Star That Could," is described in a news release as "an endearing movie that provides kids with an uplifting message while also teaching how stars form, what a star’s color tells us about it, and about the planets of our solar system."
The movie will show at 1:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays through Labor Day weekend, according to the news release. Admission prices are $6 for adults, $5 for seniors, $4 for students; children younger than 2 get in for free.
“The Little Star That Could is a fantastic show for young kids up through about the third grade and for anyone who is a kid at heart," Faulkner Planetarium Manager Rick Greenawald said in the prepared statement. "The movie has some characters with an edge to them, but in the end, it is a feel-good story of the Little Star discovering who he is and what makes him a very special star.”
The planetarium is located at the Herrett Center for Arts and Science on the College of Southern Idaho campus.

I’ve Got Joy
I’ve Got Joy, Joy, Joy
https://aboutthesethings.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/c0060-1.mp3
I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy
Down in my heart,
Down in my heart to stay.
And I’m so happy,
So very happy;
I’ve got the love of Jesus in my heart.
So very happy,

Tom Raworth
Posted on March 10, 2017 September 10, 2019 by Daniel Bennett in Poetry, writing
It’s taken me a while to get to writing about Tom Raworth’s death, partly because life doesn’t always allow room for the losses which affect us, partly because such things always take me a little time to get right.
I met Tom Raworth in the mid-nineties. He will always feature on the short list of writers I admire who I’ve actually met, and he’s on the even shorter list of those I actually liked. I first saw him read at a poetry reading at UEA, where I was an undergraduate, studying American and English Literature. The reading took place in one of the teaching rooms on the ground floor of the library. After the reading, we all headed to the student bar. I remember it being a bright, warm evening in late summer. We stood outside drinking beer on the concrete pavilion, Tom wearing a white striped jacket and a straw hat. We smoked roll ups together and talked about poetry: about Robert Creeley, Edward Dorn, poets who were names to me, but friends to him. The one time he seemed anything less than genial was when he poured scorn on Roger McGough, for doing a voiceover for an advert. During any lull in conversation, he would hum a tune to himself, and flutter his fingers as though playing on a piano. We swapped addresses and a few weeks later, he sent me a proof copy of The Collected Letters of William S. Burroughs, which I still have on my shelf.
The next time, I caught up with him, I was studying in Boulder, Colorado. Tom had travelled out to perform on a short university tour, (‘living the dream,’ as he mentioned in one of his poems). Through him, I was introduced to the community of poets who gathered around Boulder and Denver. One of my abiding memories of that time is being seated at a table with Tom at a party. Thomas Clarke sat down to join us followed by Anselm Hollo. Ed Dorn took another seat, and finally we were joined by Bernadette Mayer, who wheeled an oxygen cylinder along behind her. Thomas Clarke started passing around an Exquisite Corpse, chiding me to add a line. To say that I felt out of my depth is an understatement.
If I get a little too autobiographical at this point, you’ll have to forgive me. This is a blog post, after all, and if you’re not expecting my version of things, then you can’t be a regular visitor to the twenty-first century. Besides, this piece isn’t intended as an obituary; I don’t claim to be able to sum up Tom’s life or career, or claim to know him beyond what I’ve already described. He had an clear influence on me, though, and it went beyond any desire to imitate his style or approach. I had written poetry ever since the age of sixteen or so, but up until meeting Tom, and reading his work, I had a generally bad impression of British poetry. Before university –and even during it, if I’m honest- I did my most of my significant reading during the summers, chewing through American poetry and novels, Beats, Black Mountain, The New York School. There’s something spirited but also limiting when you are, in Alice Notley’s phrase, a culture of one. Your ideas are what define you, but you can allow yourself to think that they are your’s alone. Discovering Tom’s poetry, where the established canonical assumptions of British writing meant nothing, opened my eyes to a stream of work had being going on all the time, without me knowing of it.
I was still writing poetry by my mid-twenties, but, gradually, the well dried up. Probably, it was a question of aptitude and talent, but I’d become disillusioned as well, not only with the rejections (although these certainly played a part), but with poetry in general. (Bill Herbert sums up things well in his blog post on Tom. I had my rejection from Reality Street too). I felt I’d backed myself into a corner, really, and switching track seemed like the best idea. I began focusing my energy on writing a novel. Fiction wouldn’t be the smooth track I was expecting (think, instead, of a junction of dead ends) but I got my novel out in the end. I would write at work during a string of part time, or low-intensity jobs: in libraries, in offices, in an old call centre over the road from a cemetery on the outskirts of Southgate, which had been converted into a ghastly open plan office. I remembered how Tom had written while working in a telephone exchange. I may have changed tracks, but I’d retained some of his method.
As a final point, it seems obvious to mention Tom’s under-representation in the mainstream. (Perhaps, I am writing an obituary, after all…) His work tends to get ignored by anthologies of British poetry, although, it should be pointed out that he excluded himself from at least one anthology that I know of, so perhaps he was happy not being represented. And, unless I’ve missed something, go looking for an obituary in one of the newspapers, too, and you’ll be disappointed. Reading through his work, as I have over the last month or so, and being drawn once again to those zippy Sixties collages which so excited me when I first read them, it made me wonder why work as fast-paced and, well, fun isn’t more widely known. I’m not sure that I should let that worry me, though. Tom was too fast and elusive for that kind of thing: always too far ahead to get caught out by the messy business of being popular. Unless you met him, of course, in which case, well, there was no one like him.

I'm a writer and poet. My first novel, All the Dogs, appeared in 2008, and was described by Niall Griffiths as 'a stirring debut, a compellingly written tract on the importance of finding a place on the earth.' My fiction has appeared in London Noir, Crimewave, Black Static and 3AM. I live in London, where, amongst other things, I teach Creative Writing for the Open University. https://absenceclub.com View all posts by Daniel Bennett

Project Proposal For Secure E-Commerce Project
To write a proposal, you need to attention to the following points: Generally, start with an overview or a background about the problem that you want to solve. But before writing a background, you need to understand the problem then try to find an answer or a solution for that. Background: Security issues in eCommerce are causing a lot of damage to businesses such as financial and their reputation. the attacks on e-commerce website are gowning gradually for more that 30% of the total e-commerce websites from small to large businesses. So, the first step would be: Step-1: Finding a problem (what is the function of the writing the proposal)We need to have a problem then we can suggest various ways to answers it or suggest a method to resolve the issue. In this case, you need to answer, <What do you want to do?> that means <What is the problem that you want to solve it?> for example, we have a security problem on client-server architecture based on E-commerce structure, such as the security and privacy of online transactions, including
Denial of Service, (DoS)
Unauthorized access,
Malicious Alterations to websites,
Theft of customer information,
Damage to computer networks,
Creation of counterfeit sites.
Step-2: Method and SolutionWe need to focus on the problem and find a solution or a way to answer to the problem, that means <How do you want to do your project?>for example, my method is to design a secure client and server architecture, so we can create or use an exiting model then find a solution for the above problems and how to minimize the vulnerability of this structure. That means to find a solution for each part of the problem.for example, in terms of DoS, the attackers stop authorized users from accessing a website, resulting in reduced functioning of the website.How the attackers doing DoS, or what’s the type of DoS attacks? the DoS attacks are based on Network, Protocol, Storage, Processor,…. We can consider using a password management, password encryption techniques, using multi-factor authentication, using security questions, creating a uniquid accessing for each device.In case of secure network, all we want to stop <zombie machines> or <devices> to access or make a requests to a service. then, we need to think about each DoS simulation and the method (for example in the network layer) that we want to work on it. Step-3: Result and Analysis and outcome expectationAt this stage, we want to know <what would be the outcomes>, and <how we can validate/test the results>? So I expect to see your proposal that can present a problem and be able to write the answer to above questions and above steps in any format. You can write or make a flowchart and/or demonstrate step-by-step work actions, also creating a job duties for each member (optional).
Part 1: Write the proposal
Part 2: Write the code for the above proposal

Every 15 Minutes Shooting
nate555 May 13, 2011 Leave a Comment on Every 15 Minutes Shooting
By Nathan Stout (of AccordingToWhim.com)
‘Every 15 Minutes’ is a anti-drinking and driving program aimed at high school kids. It was based around the statistic that a person dies every 15 minutes in an alcohol related auto accident. This isn’t necessarily true. In a study done by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in 2008 it shows than it happens every 45 minutes. Oh well, it still sends a message either way.
Several local agencies in an area (police, fire, hospital, church, school in Decatur Texas’ case) got together to put on this program. I was invited in as part of the filming/editing crew for the event which took place in Decatur on Monday and Tuesday May 9th and 10th.
The program consists of two days of activities:
On the first day a wreck is staged at the school and the student body is brought out to witness the aftermath of a group of teens who were drinking and driving. At least one car that was in an actual drunk driving wreck is brought on campus and the kids are put inside. Once the students are brought out a 911 call is made and the fire department, police, ambulances show up and treat the scene as a real accident. Usually the majority of the passengers die and the drunk driver is the only survivor and he is hauled off to jail. This is all filmed.
Also during the day a ‘grim reaper’ walks around the school taking someone out of class every 15 minutes. That person then joins the growing procession. Those students then stay the night at a local church or hotel and listen to a bunch of talks about the whole drinking/driving thing.
On the second day an assembly happens where a video is shown of the previous day’s events along with special speakers who talk about anything from the effects of drinking and driving on people’s lives to victim’s accounts and such. The group of kids who stayed the night at the hotel or church then read out letters they wrote to their parents saying goodbye and all that. It’s basically an emotional attack on the hardened kids getting them to think twice about doing it.
As my work’s participation in the program (the hospital) we were to film and then make the video to show on the second day as well some organization stuff. The task was given to a guy who works in the gym who films the school’s sporting events and then he asked me and the marketing guy to assist. It was going to be necessary to have multiple cameras since there was a lot of stuff happening at once.
· I was to use my jib crane at the wreck to get general coverage.
· The marketing guy was to cover close ups of the action as the fire department came in and then follow them to the hospital’s ER and catch the action there.
· The gym guy was to follow the drunk driver to the hospital then to the jail for his ‘booking’.
The sheriff’s office hauled in two cars and put them in a wreck type position. The kids involved got all made up to look bloody and such and got into the cars. They brought the kids out of the school and then the call was made to 911. The police, fire, and ambulances showed up as well as helicopter to take one of the ‘victims’ to the hospital. During all this a man dressed as a grim reaper walked amongst the scene as if waiting for the kids to die. In the scenario all but one of the kids died while the student body looked on.
Once the action was over and the marketing and gym guys were off to the hospital I closed up shop and headed back to encode my footage and put it where the marketing guy could get at it for editing. It had to be all edited and ready to go for the presentation the next morning.
I don’t really know if something like this will change any of those teenager’s minds about drinking but I do know something like this costs a lot of money (when you consider the time all these people put into it). I remember having something similar to this when I was in high school but it was not played out like this. It was simply some videos of wreck scenes and kids that died. I also remember it was right before lunch so it didn’t sit well (on the stomach).
Here is the video of Decatur’s ‘Every 15 Minutes’

The Launch of Europe’s First Bitcoin ETF: time to boost the crypto acceptance in the continent
Recently Jacobi Asset Management has announced it will launch a European spot Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) this July. The first EFT of this type in Europe fund will be named the Jacobi Bitcoin ETF and listed on Euronext Amsterdam Exchange.
CEO of Jacobi commented: “The Jacobi Bitcoin ETF will enable investors to access the underlying performance of this exciting asset class via a well-established and trusted investment structure.” Thus, European institutional and professional investors will be able to invest in bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market through the fund for a 1.5% annual management fee under the ticker BCOIN.
The importance of this move cannot be underestimated. The arrival of Europe’s first spot ETF is an excellent step for cryptocurrency accessibility in Europe. Even with Bitcoin operating at nearly its historical bottom value, it could be an excellent opportunity for those who are optimistic about BTC’s future cyclical rallies to invest into the asset.
A Bitcoin ETF is an exchange-traded fund comprised of Bitcoin or assets related to Bitcoin’s price. They are traded on a traditional exchange instead of a cryptocurrency exchange. How does it work? First Bitcoin is purchased by the company, then securitized, and later sold or traded on an exchange. However, the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been rejecting multiple proposals, so there is no cryptocurrency ETF directly representing an underlying coin.
Currently, the underlying assets within Bitcoin ETFs are linked to Bitcoin futures contracts traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. The last trading date for Bitcoin futures contracts is the last Friday of the contract month. The index rolls monthly and distributes the weights 20% each day over a five-day roll period.
A spokesperson for Euronext confirmed that BCOIN will be the first spot Bitcoin ETF, or the first fund directly investing in Bitcoin ever listed on Euronext. “All other currently existing products on our segment are exchange-traded notes, or legally structured as debt instruments,” he explained in an official statement. While it is known for sure that the ETF will arrive in July, Euronext did not provide a specific date for the launch.
There are other exchange-traded products in Europe, but Euronext’s product is the first spot or physical-backed Bitcoin fund. The fund is not allowed to stake, lend or leverage any of the assets it owns, so for the first time European investors buying an exchange-traded Bitcoin product will own the units that actually own the Bitcoin.
By launching the Bitcoin ETF the company is striving to remove the barrier to entry for those investment firms that have mandates to invest in regulated products only. Hopefully, it will therefore increase adoption of digital assets and bring more stability and less influence from the whales. Contrary to popular belief, the latter is very far from being an integral feature of the crypto industry.
Although European ETF investing is far less developed than in the United States, the accommodation of cryptocurrencies in a more traditional investing format is likely to be a popular move on the continent. Currently, only around 15 to 20 percent of retail investors in Europe use ETFs, which is almost two times less than those of the US where around 40% of the investors regularly deal with exchange-traded funds. It is obvious that there’s considerably lower trading volumes rotating at exchange-traded funds in Europe, all the more it means that the Jacobi Bitcoin ETF is likely viewed as an opportunity to breathe new life into the market by the European Commission. It’s also interesting that while Europe is on the verge of welcoming its first spot Bitcoin ETF, the United States continues to reject such applications. Thus, on June 29, crypto investment giant Grayscale filed a lawsuit in U.S. Court of Appeals against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission after its application to convert its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust into a spot-based Bitcoin ETF was denied. Nevertheless, ProShares launched the first short bitcoin-linked ETF in the U.S. on June 21 which happened past eight months after establishing the first U.S. bitcoin futures ETF. The ProShares Short Bitcoin Strategy, which is being traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker BITI, is designed to give investors a way to profit from declines in the price of the cryptocurrency at an expense ratio of 0.95% (while the gross expense ratio makes 0.97%). The company now handles the two largest Bitcoin ETFs in the United States.
Although the market surrounding cryptocurrencies has been suffering from the beginning of 2022, the arrival of the Jacobi Bitcoin ETF is likely to see plenty of traffic with numerous recovery opportunities. The move to allow a spot Bitcoin ETF in Europe will likely give institutions such as pension funds, mutual funds, and insurance companies a pathway into Bitcoin that was currently unavailable. Jacobi founder and CEO Jamie Khurshid believes that the new Bitcoin ETF launch will help bring more stability to the crypto market amid a massive sell-off. For Europe as a whole, the continent’s first spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund is a monumental step towards widespread crypto acceptance. There is a potential for a spot Bitcoin ETF to be extremely popular in Europe, given the lack of alternative options for Bitcoin investments through traditional means.

Voice of the Beeb hive
Ian Hunter at the BBC has written a follow-up post to his initial announcement of the plans to axe 172 websites. The post is intended to clarify and reassure. It certainly clarifies, but it is anything but reassuring.
He clarifies that, yes, these websites will be taken offline. But, he reassures us, they will be stored …offline. Not on the web. Without URLs. Basically, they’ll be put in a hole in the ground. But it’s okay; it’s a hole in the ground operated by the BBC, so that’s alright then.
The most important question in all of this is why the sites are being removed at all. As I said, the BBC’s online mothballing policy has—up till now—been superb. Well, now we have an answer. Here it is:
But there still may come a time when people interested in the site are better served by careful offline storage.
There may be a parallel universe where that sentence makes sense, but it would have to be one in which the English language is used very differently.
As an aside, the use of language in the “explanation” is quite fascinating. The post is filled with the kind of mealy-mouthed filler words intended to appease those of us who are concerned that this is a terrible mistake. For example, the phrase “we need to explore a range of options including offline storage” can be read as “the sites are going offline; live with it.”
That’s one of the most heartbreaking aspects of all of this: the way that it is being presented as a fait accompli: these sites are going to be ripped from the fabric of the network to be tossed into a single offline point of failure and there’s nothing that we—the license-payers—can do about it.
I know that there are many people within the BBC who do not share this vision. I’ve received some emails from people who worked on some of the sites scheduled for deletion and needless to say, they’re not happy. I was contacted by an archivist at the BBC, for whom this plan was unwelcome news that he first heard about here on adactio.com. The subsequent reaction was:
It was OK to put a videotape on a shelf, but putting web pages offline isn’t OK.
I hope that those within the BBC who disagree with the planned destruction will make their voices heard. For those of us outside the BBC, it isn’t clear how we can best voice our concerns. You could make a complaint to the BBC, though that seems to be intended more for complaints about programme content.
In the meantime, you can download all or some of the 172 sites and plop them elsewhere on the web. That’s not an ideal solution—ideally, the BBC shouldn’t be practicing a deliberate policy of link rot—but it allows us to prepare for the worst.
I hope that whoever at the BBC has responsibility for this decision will listen to reason. Failing that, I hope that we can get a genuine explanation as to why this is happening, because what’s currently being offered up simply doesn’t cut it. Perhaps the truth behind this decision lies not so much with the BBC, but with their technology partner, Siemens, who have a notorious track record for shafting the BBC, charging ludicrous amounts of money to execute the most trivial of technical changes.
If this decision is being taken for political reasons, I would hope that someone at the BBC would have the honesty to say so rather than simply churning out more mealy-mouthed blog posts devoid of any genuine explanation.

My life Since 2003
The Pandemic’s Mark
Last night I watched parts of the Frontline film, America After 9/11. Each year around this time, but especially as we near the 20th anniversary, I think a lot about what life in America was like before September 11th, 2001. I so desperately want to see our country put the genie back in the bottle […]
Embracing Whole People
You are a whole, unique, 360-degree, three-dimensional person made in the image of God. We live in an age that likes to cast humans into two-dimensional boxes. We tend to pigeonhole people because of something they’ve said or posted online or even something they did in their past. But in doing so we are turning […]
Two Sides of the Border Story
Illegal immigration is a problem for both the United States and Mexico. But I’m guessing you’re only sort of familiar with the problem from the American perspective? Each day tens of thousands of Americans illegally enter Mexico without proper documentation.
As we round the pandemic’s corner this summer, shifting from hunkering down to opening up, I’d like to highlight Good News in the Neighborhood of the local church here on my blog and on my social channels. Send me your Good News stories to highlight
11 Months In
Just about 11 months ago we were settling into the idea that COVID-19 was going to be bad. We had no idea how bad things could get. None. As of today, 500,000 Americans have lost their lives to this pandemic. By comparison, the entire population of Sacramento is 494,000. What if I’d told you 11 […]
Failure and Success are Siblings
I failed yesterday. It hurt. It sucked. And I did it on purpose. Over the summer, after months of nudging by my friends, I picked golf back up. For me, during the pandemic, it’s been the perfect outlet. I get out and exercise, building cardio and muscle by walking San Diego’s hilly courses, but more […]
3 Types of Advice I’ve Given that I’m Now Applying to Myself
To move up… To move up sometimes you need to move on. I’ve given that advice to youth ministry friends over the past decade. And this year I finally awoke to the reality that it was time to take my own advice.
What if the cure to COVID-19 is kindness? If that’s the cure we’re in trouble. But maybe it is the cure? And since kindness costs us nothing why don’t we just give it a chance? Just an idea.
Over the past few years you’ve watched me do some stuff. 10 years ago it was in Haiti, activating hundreds of churches to go and build partnerships with Haitian churches in the wake of an earthquake that shook a nations core but unleashed a spiritual awakening. And now more recently it’s been closer to home, […] | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1796 | {"url": "https://adammclane.com/page/3/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "adammclane.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:17:57Z", "digest": "sha1:L3SVQ6MVDXYYYZ3PINLPZ4CVMM7N6CCK"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2647, 2647.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2647, 3169.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2647, 16.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2647, 40.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2647, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2647, 268.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2647, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2647, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2647, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2647, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2647, 0.4010327]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2647, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2647, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2647, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2647, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2647, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2647, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2647, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2647, 0.00952381]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2647, 0.01238095]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2647, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2647, 0.02753873]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2647, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2647, 0.16523236]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2647, 0.56133056]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2647, 4.36590437]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2647, 0.01032702]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2647, 5.21797084]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2647, 481.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 39, 0.0], [39, 342, 0.0], [342, 365, 0.0], [365, 682, 0.0], [682, 712, 0.0], [712, 971, 1.0], [971, 1221, 0.0], [1221, 1234, 0.0], [1234, 1534, 0.0], [1534, 1567, 0.0], [1567, 1872, 0.0], [1872, 1933, 0.0], [1933, 2143, 1.0], [2143, 2334, 1.0], [2334, 2647, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 39, 0.0], [39, 342, 0.0], [342, 365, 0.0], [365, 682, 0.0], [682, 712, 0.0], [712, 971, 0.0], [971, 1221, 0.0], [1221, 1234, 0.0], [1234, 1534, 0.0], [1534, 1567, 0.0], [1567, 1872, 0.0], [1872, 1933, 0.0], [1933, 2143, 0.0], [2143, 2334, 0.0], [2334, 2647, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 19, 4.0], [19, 39, 3.0], [39, 342, 56.0], [342, 365, 3.0], [365, 682, 56.0], [682, 712, 6.0], [712, 971, 40.0], [971, 1221, 45.0], [1221, 1234, 3.0], [1234, 1534, 56.0], [1534, 1567, 5.0], [1567, 1872, 56.0], [1872, 1933, 12.0], [1933, 2143, 42.0], [2143, 2334, 38.0], [2334, 2647, 56.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 19, 0.22222222], [19, 39, 0.0], [39, 342, 0.03754266], [342, 365, 0.0], [365, 682, 0.00983607], [682, 712, 0.0], [712, 971, 0.0], [971, 1221, 0.0], [1221, 1234, 0.16666667], [1234, 1534, 0.06271777], [1534, 1567, 0.0], [1567, 1872, 0.0], [1872, 1933, 0.01666667], [1933, 2143, 0.0], [2143, 2334, 0.01086957], [2334, 2647, 0.00651466]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 19, 0.0], [19, 39, 0.0], [39, 342, 0.0], [342, 365, 0.0], [365, 682, 0.0], [682, 712, 0.0], [712, 971, 0.0], [971, 1221, 0.0], [1221, 1234, 0.0], [1234, 1534, 0.0], [1534, 1567, 0.0], [1567, 1872, 0.0], [1872, 1933, 0.0], [1933, 2143, 0.0], [2143, 2334, 0.0], [2334, 2647, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 19, 0.10526316], [19, 39, 0.15], [39, 342, 0.0330033], [342, 365, 0.13043478], [365, 682, 0.01577287], [682, 712, 0.13333333], [712, 971, 0.03861004], [971, 1221, 0.032], [1221, 1234, 0.15384615], [1234, 1534, 0.04666667], [1534, 1567, 0.09090909], [1567, 1872, 0.03606557], [1872, 1933, 0.13114754], [1933, 2143, 0.02380952], [2143, 2334, 0.05235602], [2334, 2647, 0.01277955]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2647, 0.01172751]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2647, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2647, 0.03342062]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2647, -139.75606016]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2647, 39.21454406]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2647, -278.42024312]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2647, 31.0]]} |

The Top 10 Causes of Water Damage in Homes
Water damage can happen for a number of reasons, but the most common are due to plumbing failures, leaks, floods and storms. Water damage can be a huge headache and it can cause a lot of problems for homeowners. Water damage can be a homeowner’s worst nightmare. Not only is it a huge hassle to clean up, but it can also lead to some long term structural problems if left unattended. No matter what the cause, water damage is a serious issue that should be addressed as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your home.
Cleaning Up Water Damage
To avoid the pain of water damage in your home, it is important to learn about the top causes of water damage and how to prevent it. Here are the top 10 causes of water damage in homes:
Plumbing Failures: Plumbing failures are one of the most common causes of water damage in homes. Whether it’s a burst pipe, leaky faucet or a clogged toilet, any type of plumbing failure can cause water damage.
Leaks: Leaks are another common cause of water damage in homes. Leaky appliances like dishwashers and washing machines or leaky roofs or siding can lead to big problems if left unattended.
Floods and Storms: Whether due to heavy rains or severe weather, floods and storms can cause a lot of water damage to homes. It’s important to be prepared for these events by having sandbags or other flood-prevention measures in place.
Sewage Backups: Sewage backups are another common cause of water damage in homes. If your home’s sewage system backs up, it can cause contaminated water to enter your home, which can lead to serious health problems.
Foundations: Homes with faulty or damaged foundations can be susceptible to water damage. If your home’s foundation is cracked or leaking, it can allow water to enter your home and cause damage.
Improper Drainage: Poorly draining gutters and downspouts can cause water to pool around your home, which can lead to water damage.
Ice Dams: If your home is located in an area that gets a lot of snow, ice dams can cause water damage by preventing melting snow from draining off your roof.
Appliance Malfunctions: If any of your home’s appliances malfunction, it can cause water damage. Common appliance problems that can lead to water damage include overflowing washing machines, leaky dishwashers and clogged toilets.
HVAC: If your home’s heating and air conditioning system is faulty, it can cause water damage. Common HVAC problems that can lead to water damage include leaking air conditioners and faulty humidifiers.
Human Error: Sometimes, water damage is simply due to human error. Whether it’s leaving a tap running or forgetting to turn off the sprinkler hose, human error can lead to water damage in homes.
If you want to avoid the pain of water damage in your home, it is important to learn about the top causes of water damage and how to prevent and repair water damage. By knowing what to look out for and taking steps to prevent water damage, you can keep your home safe from the potential problems that water damage can cause. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/1798 | {"url": "https://advanceddri.com/tag/what-are-the-causes-of-water-damage/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "advanceddri.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:27:24Z", "digest": "sha1:7OVWVDQTTSZU5EF5W277PCADT3MVEBTA"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3070, 3070.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3070, 7282.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3070, 15.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3070, 268.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3070, 0.94]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3070, 281.8]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3070, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3070, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3070, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3070, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3070, 0.40589198]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3070, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3070, 0.08235769]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3070, 0.27937021]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3070, 0.22446508]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3070, 0.17440452]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3070, 0.17440452]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3070, 0.14291482]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3070, 0.12434396]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3070, 0.05248284]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3070, 0.04238999]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3070, 0.00327332]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3070, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3070, 0.11292962]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3070, 0.34392523]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3070, 4.62990654]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3070, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3070, 4.59003495]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3070, 535.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 43, 0.0], [43, 570, 1.0], [570, 595, 0.0], [595, 781, 0.0], [781, 992, 1.0], [992, 1181, 1.0], [1181, 1417, 1.0], [1417, 1633, 1.0], [1633, 1828, 1.0], [1828, 1960, 1.0], [1960, 2118, 1.0], [2118, 2348, 1.0], [2348, 2551, 1.0], [2551, 2746, 1.0], [2746, 3070, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 43, 0.0], [43, 570, 0.0], [570, 595, 0.0], [595, 781, 0.0], [781, 992, 0.0], [992, 1181, 0.0], [1181, 1417, 0.0], [1417, 1633, 0.0], [1633, 1828, 0.0], [1828, 1960, 0.0], [1960, 2118, 0.0], [2118, 2348, 0.0], [2348, 2551, 0.0], [2551, 2746, 0.0], [2746, 3070, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 43, 9.0], [43, 570, 97.0], [570, 595, 4.0], [595, 781, 38.0], [781, 992, 36.0], [992, 1181, 31.0], [1181, 1417, 40.0], [1417, 1633, 36.0], [1633, 1828, 32.0], [1828, 1960, 21.0], [1960, 2118, 31.0], [2118, 2348, 32.0], [2348, 2551, 32.0], [2551, 2746, 34.0], [2746, 3070, 62.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 43, 0.04761905], [43, 570, 0.0], [570, 595, 0.0], [595, 781, 0.01098901], [781, 992, 0.0], [992, 1181, 0.0], [1181, 1417, 0.0], [1417, 1633, 0.0], [1633, 1828, 0.0], [1828, 1960, 0.0], [1960, 2118, 0.0], [2118, 2348, 0.0], [2348, 2551, 0.0], [2551, 2746, 0.0], [2746, 3070, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 43, 0.0], [43, 570, 0.0], [570, 595, 0.0], [595, 781, 0.0], [781, 992, 0.0], [992, 1181, 0.0], [1181, 1417, 0.0], [1417, 1633, 0.0], [1633, 1828, 0.0], [1828, 1960, 0.0], [1960, 2118, 0.0], [2118, 2348, 0.0], [2348, 2551, 0.0], [2551, 2746, 0.0], [2746, 3070, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 43, 0.13953488], [43, 570, 0.00948767], [570, 595, 0.16], [595, 781, 0.01075269], [781, 992, 0.01895735], [992, 1181, 0.01587302], [1181, 1417, 0.01694915], [1417, 1633, 0.01851852], [1633, 1828, 0.01538462], [1828, 1960, 0.02272727], [1960, 2118, 0.01898734], [2118, 2348, 0.0173913], [2348, 2551, 0.04926108], [2551, 2746, 0.02051282], [2746, 3070, 0.00617284]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3070, 0.08133441]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3070, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3070, 0.03340727]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3070, -214.86607032]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3070, 2.62289457]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3070, -196.64658598]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3070, 26.0]]} |
