Describe a typical day at the office. I am not sure there is a truly “typical” day which is why I like being a publisher. But generally for me the office day starts at 8:00 am after I drop my son off at middle school. Then the day for me will typically involve all of the following in no particular order: – responding to emails from Europe or overseas that came in overnight – seeking approvals from clients for requests for use of their music that we receive – tackling some sort of software programming with our state-of-the-art copyright and royalty system called CORE so that I can continue to try to make our administrative processes as efficient as possible – pitching our music to any needs or searches that we get (and we can sometimes get as many as 5 a day) – seeking out new clients and business opportunities via either online research or reaching out to lawyers and business managers about their clients that may be looking for deals – responding to inquiries from existing clients who have questions or needs – meeting either individually or as a group with our staff so that we can keep focused on all the items that need to be done, both on the administrative side and the creative side. 2. What is your favorite part of your job? Even though we have been placing music in film/TV/ads for our entire 20 year existence (since 1994), nothing beats the email that we receive when someone says they want to license something and need a quote, etc. You then feel all the effort is worthwhile and you can’t wait to let the client know that a use may happen. And since things sometimes fall out in the mix, the ultimate satisfaction is tuning into TV and hearing our music and or in a film in a theater, etc. There’s a sense of pride in knowing that that use would not have happened without our efforts and it’s a great feeling. 3. What are some projects that you are currently working on that you can discuss? Since 2014 is PEN Music Group’s 20th anniversary, a lot of the projects these days are internal projects that we are doing to acknowledge and capitalize on the anniversary. For example, in late January 2014 we are going to launch Phase 1 of our new website that we have been working on for a year. There will be a few phases after this initial rollout, but we’re looking forward to getting this out there. We are also always planning and refining our CORE software that handles all our copyright and royalties so that we can handle as much volume as possible with as little human interaction as possible. This Spring we are also launching our web-based pitching system which completely integrates with CORE. This will enable us to only have to enter certain data on a song once and then all that data gets pushed out to our pitching system so that as long as we have access to a browser on a laptop or mobile device, we will be able to search our catalogue of music and create pitches that we can send to music users who are in need of music for their projects and then we can track who streams what, who downloaded what, and generally see how the outside world is interacting with the music that we assemble and pitch. 4. What do you think are the most important issues facing songwriters and publishers at this time? I think the overall topic that we must address is the constant fight to devalue music. And that fight is both with external forces as well as internal ones. Let me explain. First, it is clear we are moving towards a streaming-based world. And fast. Right now the streaming rates are crap, especially given that there seems to be more and more evidence that streaming is displacing sales that have historically given us our mechanical royalties. We must work together as content owners as well as with the digital services to structure rates that are fair and that allow digital services to flourish. I fear it is going to get a bit worse before it gets better, but I think ultimately this is going to be a lucrative world but it’s one in which music must be properly compensated for. On the internal side, especially in the world of synchronization, there is a constant erosion of fees. And this is partly due to some artists and publishers continuing to allow their music to be used for lesser and lesser fees for the increased broad media rights that producers need these days. This is a tough one – because if you say no, there are probably 10 other companies right behind you who will allow their music to be used and you want the use to happen as opposed to not happen. But sometimes you just have to take a stand and explain how your music is worth more than what is being offered and you can’t allow it to be used except for a fair price. Every time you allow your music to be used for free or practically free, another content producer goes off thinking for their next project that they don’t need a big music budget because they can always get music for free or next to free. This is a losing battle and if we are to maintain (or maybe even increase!) the value of music, we must think carefully now about what our individual and collective actions are doing to the perception of music’s value. 5. Everyone is now on the “placement” train, where they think the only viable way to make money is to get placements in TV and film. Do you agree with this? Generally speaking I do agree with this. But I think it depends on what kind of artist and songwriter you are. Albums aren’t selling what they used to so everyone is looking at synch to make up the difference (see previous answer directly above). And the synch world can still be a lucrative area, especially in ads and trailers where the fees are still higher generally than uses in TV and film projects. TV uses are also in many ways the only “radio” that many artists receive these days given the corporate dominance in mainstream radio programming. A successful TV show using your music can mean 10 million+ people hearing your song in one night. That kind of exposure can’t be beat, especially if it’s a placement where you can actually hear the song as opposed to it just being background in a bar for example under dialogue where no one will hear it. But successful touring artists can still make a lot of money off their music and never get a placement. I talk to the indie artists about the concept of the “superfan” – strive to find, develop and maintain a direct artist-fan relationship with 1,000 people who love what you do so much that through the year they will spend $100 on you (whether that be in CD sales or digital downloads, tickets to a show, merchandise, etc.). If you can do that, that’s $100,000 a year and you are successful at music and you’ve been able to do that with just 1,000 people and no placements. It can be done. And then there are some artists that are just synch-focused and they work hard and make a good living. It can be done a number of different ways, but either way it takes commitment and a dedicated work ethic. 6. What other avenues are still profitable for publishers and writers? Other than the placement world, I think everyone is looking to YouTube to be a new frontier of sorts in generating income. And you can generate a lot of income on YouTube but it takes a LOT of views to have a decent financial impact. We are in a visual world now – any artist who wants a fighting chance should plan on making videos of their songs – whether they are gimmicky videos that go viral or not. It’s all about getting the exposure. But once you can get it (however you do it and it can be done outside of the major label paradigm), it’s how you use it and manage it that will determine your financial success. As mentioned before, successful touring artists sell records still and that generates mechanical income. It all feeds upon itself – the trick is figuring out where an artist or songwriter will first connect and then you take that and run with it. 7. What types of deals are mostly being offered now among the independent publishers? I think generally speaking the deals fall into 1 of 3 types: 1) the placement/licensing deal; 2) the admin deal; and 3) the co-publishing deal. Regarding the placement/licensing deal, as the name implies this deal’s main focus is synch. The publisher generally doesn’t get involved in any aspect of the writer/artist other than synch. This can be a way for a publisher and artist to develop an initial working relationship to scope each other out. But one word of caution to the artist is non-exclusive deals that get offered that involve re-titling the songs. This is increasingly being frowned upon for a variety of reasons, so consider deals of this nature that are offered very carefully. Then there’s the admin deal. In this scenario, the writer/artist owns everything 100% still and the publisher takes on the administrative and hopefully creative responsibility to make things happen for the artist. The more things that happen, the more income is earned for both parties. Then lastly there’s the co-pub deal. In these deals the publisher and the writer/artist split the publishing 50/50 and this deal generally involves some sort of upfront financial payment or investment in the writer/artist. This is the highest level of commitment and as long as you feel you have the right partner who believes in what you are doing, this deal structure can work out well. It all depends on what you as the writer/artist feels comfortable with. Meet lots of publishers and go with who you feel “gets you” and who is offering what you feel is a fair deal. 8. What is an independent publishing company looking for when considering signing a new artist? Speaking for us as PEN Music Group, we are looking for great music in genres that we don’t have much of. We don’t like to take on too many artists of the same genre where they will be cannibalizing each other in the opportunities we bring to them. But it has to be music that we all connect and react to. This is sometimes hard to put into words – it’s just a gut feeling. But you know it’s good when you hear it. Then we want to spend the time getting others to hear the music since we feel they will like it. We are also looking for writer/artists who know how much hard work is involved in this career and don’t expect that if we take them on we will do all the work for them. No one will ever work as hard for what they do as they should. And if we see someone who is smart and organized and business savvy on top of being creatively unique, then we know we have something. 9. Is there any criteria an artist/writer needs to have to even be considered for a deal? Existing income and activity is always nice, but in the end it comes down to the music. It has to be great music. If we don’t react to it, then we won’t fight for it. It’s all about commitment. If they have committed to doing the best music possible and that shows, then we will want to get involved whether there is any existing income or not. Because at that point we believe we can generate the income. Thanks to Michael for this very informative interview. Learn more about PEN Music Group here.

BOTTINEAU, N.D. - A 24-year-old Bottineau Public Schools science teacher has been charged with a sex-related crime involving a minor.
Marissa Ashley Deslauriers was charged Tuesday with one count of corruption or solicitation of a minor, a Class C felony punishable by up to five years in prison, in Bottineau County District Court.
The Bottineau woman had an initial court hearing Tuesday morning, where District Judge Michael Sturdevant set her bond at $10,000.
Her district's website profile says she has bachelor's degree in biology and minor in chemistry from Concordia College.
Additional information, including whether the minor was Deslauriers’ student, was not immediately available.
The Bottineau County prosecutor and Sheriff’s Office did not return calls to the Herald by press time.
An affidavit of probable cause, which ordinarily details the allegations against the accused, was not filed with the district court as of Tuesday. | positive |
Just for the record, if you're going to play Battlefield 3 on the PC, you're going to create and use an Electronic Arts Origin account. Period. Developer DICE has confirmed what, really, shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, a couple days ago on Twitter.
This covers retail copies on DVD, but we can assume it extends to any digital copy bought from a download service (other than, ahem, Steam) because well, why the hell wouldn't it. This is EA's new PC digital distribution service, it makes sense it would use its biggest selling PC title to drive people to it, like it or not.
So save yourself the inconvenience come October, just go ahead and create your account and download the client now. Just remember, if you're abducted by aliens and don't log in for two whole years EA can delete your account, burn down your house, ruin your credit, sell your children into slavery, blah blah etc. But hey, you're still playing Battlefield, not some over-marketed military shooter pumped out by an evil big-name publisher.

“Last night, President Trump ordered military action against Syria in response to their chemical weapons attack,” an email from the Great America PAC, first flagged by Dave Levinthal at the Center for Public Integrity, read. […] The message asks respondents to vote on whether they approve of the strike and subsequently includes a request for money. The email was signed by Ed Rollins, currently the national co-chair of the PAC who joined the group in May of 2016.
The fundraising appeal encourages Trump supporters to register their opinion by giving the PAC their email address – prompting Wired’s Nicholas Thompson to describe this as an example of “war as email-acquisition strategy.”The Great America PAC has never officially been endorsed by Trump, but during the election, it was led in part by Trump’s former national field director, and it’s generally seen as the super PAC most closely aligned with the president’s political operation.And while it may appear unseemly for Republicans to launch a fundraising campaign on the basis of a military strike – in effect, “Missiles were fired, so you should give us money” – there’s quite a bit of this going on.Two weeks ago, when House Intelligence Committee Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) made bizarre references to classified information the White House gave him to substantiate one of the president’s conspiracy theories, the Great America PAC launched a fundraising campaign based on Nunes’ antics – on the same afternoon A couple of weeks earlier, the official Trump re-election campaign – yes, it already exists – sent out a fundraising appeal of its own, seeking contributions in support of the White House’s Muslim ban I can appreciate the fact that professional fundraisers are always looking for a fresh angle, effectively looking for any excuse to get people to reach for their wallets, but shouldn’t some sense of propriety be part of the equation? | positive |
It has been years since Statistics Canada has been able to release Census data on income inequality in Canada but the numbers are out at long last.
Here are 7 things the Census teaches us about income inequality in Canada between 2005 and 2015.
Resource boom masked inequality trends
Thanks to high resource prices pre-2015, median incomes went up in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Newfoundland and Labrador.
But as CCPA Senior Economist David Macdonald notes: “One of the stories of the resource boom is that there are definitely increases in median income, but most of the gains are going to go to the top (earners).”
The Census data stops at 2015, so don’t expect those trends to be sustained by the time the next Census comes around because resource prices started tanking in 2014 and we may never see the likes of the earlier 2000 prices again.
Traditional engines of growth not firing on all cylinders
Macdonald observes: “Much of the action (on income) is because of the Prairies, not as much because of the traditional engines of growth, which are Ontario and Quebec.
In fact, as CCPA Senior Economist Sheila Block detailed in her report Losing Ground: Income Inequality in Ontario, 2000-2015, the bottom half of Ontario families saw their wages drop during that period.
The result: Ontario is becoming more polarized. The labour market might be rewarding families in the upper end of the income spectrum, but the bottom half of families raising children in Ontario saw its share of earnings fall to 19 per cent of the income pie.
The decline in manufacturing jobs and a rise in precarious, low-wage work helped fuel polarization in Ontario. Given the decline in resource prices, could Ontario be scripting the future of income inequality in other parts of Canada?
Income inequality is a stubborn beast
Miles Corak, University of Ottawa economics professor, points to this chart to show how Canada’s highest income earners are “pulling away from the rest.”
Other Statistics Canada data show the median income of the richest 10 per cent in Canada grew by 16 per cent between 2005-15 — faster than Canadians who are in the middle of the income spectrum.
While income inequality hasn’t gotten dramatically worse since the Great Recession of 2008-09 — most of the damage happened between 1976-2006 — it’s not magically reversing on its own. It will take public policies to help close the gap.
The gender gap is also a stubborn beast
CCPA Senior Researcher Kate McInturff found the Census data reveal a persistent income gap between men and women in key Canadian cities.
At this rate, McInturff estimates that it will take 70 years for the gender gap to close. Clearly, more proactive government policy is needed to bring fairness to the labour market.
It takes two income earners to make it
It’s no surprise that a growing number of Canadians worry that they are one or two paycheques away from disaster.
The Census data show that it takes two income earners for households to make it these days.
According to Statistics Canada: “In 2015, 96% of Canadian couples had both spouses reporting income, up significantly from about two-thirds in the mid-1970s.”
So women are doing their part to keep households afloat. They just need the gender income gap to close, and soon. A national affordable child care strategy would be particularly helpful, too.
RRSPs are the refuge of the rich
For decades, Canadians have been told they can’t count on a golden pension from their workplace so they’d better invest in RRSPs, but the Census data show it’s really only the rich who can afford to do that in a meaningful way.
Canadian households with an income of more than $250,000 contributed an average of $19,549 a year to RRSPs. But families in the middle of the income spectrum — those earning $70,000 to $79,000 — contributed only $5,487 a year.
Once again we are reminded that this tax advantage is benefiting the wealthy.
Despite Canada’s wealth, poverty persists
Canada is a wealthy country — and it was especially so during the resource boom — but it’s not trickling down to the poor.
The Census shows us that 1.2 million children lived in poor families in 2015.
The city of Windsor, Ontario, stands out: its child poverty rate was a whopping 24 per cent in 2015 — the highest in the country. Nearby London, Ontario’s child poverty rate was 22.2 per cent— the third highest in Canada.
That Windsor and London have been in the headwinds of the manufacturing slowdown in Ontario over the 2000s simply suggests that they’ve been the canary in the coal mine.
Poverty and income inequality don’t magically go into reverse. It takes a concerted public policy strategy.
That’s why we applaud the Ontario, Alberta, and B.C. governments for pursuing a $15 minimum wage strategy.
The Census data make it clear that Canadians should be combatting the low-wage strategy that has contributed to stagnating wages and stubborn income inequality.
The Census data also point to the dire need for a national poverty reduction strategy, backed with government funds to make it worth the paper it’s written on.
Finally, a vocal group of high earning professionals are complaining about the federal government’s plan to limit “income sprinkling” by closing tax loopholes. The Census data serve as a reminder that a low-tax strategy for the well-off shouldn’t be one of Canada’s top priorities.
Redistribution of the wealth should be the priority.

I loved its relaxed yet respectful silence, the smell of reverence, the promise pervading every aspect of that temple of awesome. I never knew exactly what my sermon would be. In my church, I chose the sermons, sermons just for me. A glorious treasure hunt as I would roam or stalk, excavate and uncover, reveal or discover, finding inspiration as it found me. Guided by curiosity and availability, by ever changing interconnections never quite exactly the same. I might have a theme to which I’d temporarily sacrifice my volition. But always I’d be rewarded with leads, avenues of exploration, journeys of being and culminations of self-discovery as an ever-ongoing grail of inner transformation. My sermons would encompass vast fields of activity, entire continents of mood and emotion, galaxies of possibility and wonder. I would be enthralled by the insatiable excitement those unintended preachings generated. Perpetually my soul was left wanting More, always eager for More. Never never enough. Preachers came and went, each one extracted of their very marrow. They left their own souls with me. Some had multiple sermons, many only one. The magic of those sermons, oh the magic of those sermons. I can’t recall ever being disappointed. I would take them home with me to pour over them every spare moment I had, literally. Stolen retrievals of otherwise dead time all filled by snatches of marvel. Any waiting of any kind an opportunity to revel. I would become enveloped until the mystic hours of silent night. The still bliss of post-midnight worship serving as benediction. At least one sermon completed before time and energy yielded from reluctance to necessity. On really glorious days, wholly free blessings, two, maybe three. Sermons were restricted somewhat within a range, but I did not mind, my church was beautiful, if small. Holding the promise of the universe in every corner, every pew, every reverential entombment. A wondrously delicious church with many many precious corners. Merely being at church, moving through the pews of knowledge, the icons of knowing, the potentials of possibility, was enough. I would glean glimpses of previously imbibed sermons along my explorations, a re-awakening and re-kindling of that sacred flame which had so fortuitously been evoked in me. Me, an initiant to More. A mere glance of remembrance enough to re-ignite still lingering embers of already-absorbed magic. My church required nothing of me, asked nothing, merely a responsibility to the sermons. That expectation to an initiate a reverent care taken as a profound trust and gift. A fabulous fortune bestowed on all, yet availed by few. Perhaps indicative of the greater reality we assume operates according to our beliefs, but which does not. My church also a refuge, a haven from the constraints and limitations of the imagine-less world. A sacred space where the profane did not venture as they feared that which could reveal the very hollowness they needed to fill, but attempted to pretend out of existence. In my church I could BE, I could BE anything, anywhere, anytime. Once released from the constraints of self-conception through repeated sermons of exemplified example, a never-ending flight of freedom ensued. My church encouraged this adoption of new and different Ways-of-Being. For my church is the church of churches. Through my sanctum, I immersed in all the other churches, in every aspect of them. Finding their beauties and their flaws. I found churches most never knew existed, a particularly special thrill. I was extended in my church. I grew there, a growing which helped me, helped me never fully grow up. For my home-of-the-heart has a way of keeping me young. My soul-space filled me with spirit, with the spirit of adventure, the spirit of love, the spirit of knowledge and bestowed on me the rewards of perpetual-youth. In me was kindled a thirst for wisdom, for the sublime, for the profound, not to mention the transcendent, and my special love, the More… In my church, the churches of my local library and bookstore, I found all this, and much More.

History of Jungle / Drum & Bass - Unknown author 1998
Breakbeat was an underground music which had originally come in from the USA in the late 1970s. Frankie Bones, at his early DJ-ing stage had created breakbeat irregular music, whereby he had overlapped two same records on turn-table decks at slightly different speeds and slightly delayed. This would create asynchronous beat, which would drive the crowd crazy. His track named "Bones Breaks" was a pioneer if not discovererof breakbeat which has remained strictly underground since. In the late 80s, house scene erupted in UK, especially in London. As house scene had progressed, the ecstasy rave culture had emerged from the youth, suppressing the football hooliganism. House from one side and breakbeat from the other side had created a combination, which later led to production of what was called jungle and what is now called drum & bass.
It was around 1990, when jungle started emerging from the general dance scene. Kickin' and Shut up & Dance record labels started fusing breakbeat, house, hip-hop, reggae, techno and most importantly dub to produce what they called Jungle. In fact the name originates from one of the experimental clubs in London, called "Jungle" where the first fusion experiments were played. The term "jungle", though, had remained in the underground until 1993.
DJ Hype creates breakbeat feeling by mixing house and hip hop at 45 rpm on Phantasy FM. Later co-produces some of the first jungle tracks under the name The Scientist, with the tracks like "Excorcist" and "The Bee". Telepathy - one of the first hardcore jungle clubs kick starts in November. Mickey Finn creates the track Bionic Man, which uses the same idea as the Excorcist. 1992 was the year when the hardcore music was peaking.
Jungle was often confused with hardcore, which was quite similar at the time, but was directed more towards 4/4 base beat, rather than looped asynchronous rhythm. Jungle had just made its way to a larger audience, while hardcore was a total novice to the dance scene. Both jungle and hardcore were played at the same raves and sometimes the artists didn't even know whether the track they made was jungle or hardcore. Both of the styles were co-existing under one roof and so there was no separate jungle scene.
Johnny Jungle (today known as Pascal) had released a hit called "Johnny" which was a beginning of the new era. Johnny L created "Hurt You So" on XL recordgins, which highlighted the breaks out of the hardcore formula. 4Hero, LTJ Bukem, Grooverider, DJ Hype and other future jungle producers started heading in the new breaks direction. The true jungle was ahead.
1993 was the end of confusion. Hardcore and the twin brother happy hardcore moved towards a more progressive rhythm, while Jungle remained on the breakbeat side. Though still reminiscent of 1992, artists such as Wax Doctor, headed the darker bassline sounds. At that point, jungle had finally gained its own identity - dedicated club venues such as Roast, Roller Express, Telepathy and Desire start operating on a weekly basis. Andy C comes up with the "Valley Of The Shadows" - the timeless jungle hit. Ed Rush throws the darkcore "Bloodclot Attack" while LTJ Bukem rolls out the ambient "Music". It was, not to understate, Moving Shadow's year. Artists such as Omni Trio stormed the jungle scene with the "Renegade Snares" and Foul Play remixed it even better, leaving it in our minds forever. As the producers moved away from hardcore towards breakbeat, their technical skills grew, which had relieved jungle of the ordinary mockery of the speeded up vocals.
1994 was the peak of Jungle. The clubs such as AWOL (A Way Of Life), Jungle Rush, Jungle Fever, Thunder And Joy, Roast and Thrust were spinning jungle on full. This year, jungle was most influenced by ragga basslines and rasta vocals. This was a revitalised year of jungle rave madness. Dream Team (Bizzy B. and DJ Pugwash) came up with the track "Yeah Man" which remained on the pirate stations for another 4 months. DJ Hype along with DJ Zinc and Pascal created an label called Ganja, which later became one of the major labels on the scene.
The number of jungle pirate stations had enormously increased. Kool FM pirate station was the main source of jungle refreshment to the crowd. Although raided more than 5 times, it still kept going strong. Jungle managed to conserve what rave had lost two years before. Krome and Mr. Time had made a classic, legendary track called "The Licence" with the sample of Papa-Levi & Saxon Sound - a track which made the crowd go hyper.
The jungle atmosphere remained fresh and happy. The phenomenon was purely London based and had no equivalent anywhere. Labels like Tearin Vinyl, Rugged Vinyl, Ganja Kru, Joker, Reinforced, Certificate 18, Photek Recordings, Prototype, Liftin Spirit and Ram were a refreshing source of jungle music. DJ Rap at her label, Proper Talent had created a symbolic ragga influenced track "Intelligent Woman" with vocals by Candy. DJ Hype rolls out "Tiger Style", while Dillinja brings a mellow track named "Sovereign Melody".
By that time, even Fantazia and Telstar had realised, that jungle was very popular, which led to production of the compilations called "Fantazia takes you into the Jungle" and "Jungle Mania" by Telstar. A mad junglistic rave named "Telepathy" provided the unforgettable experience for many. World Dance's main arena now becomes jungle oriented. At the end of the year, a daughter style started developing. Under the name "Drum & Bass" - representative of the Jungle's content, the style was directed at the new school technique to approach the same concept of music.
Among the creators, strongly stood the DJs such as LTJ Bukem, Fabio, Doc Scott, Grooverider, Photek and Dillinja, who had changed their direction towards a fresher sound and greater acoustic effects. At first, though, Drum & Bass remained along the same strands as jungle, which still makes people confuse both these days. It is easier to look as one being the continuation of the other, rather than worry which is which. As Drum & Bass slowly but steadily was heading its slightly different way, jungle kept rinsing out the underground culture.
1995 - Rolling tune is being invented. P-Funk's "P-Funk Era" is the tune to define the rolling future. Rude bwoy style overwhelmed the jungle scene: DJ Krust comes up with a deadly track 'Set Speed' along with 'Angels' - "When you can't see the angels no more, you're in trouble!"; Firefox rolls out 'Bonanza Kid' while Urban Shakedown brings "The Arsonist" with its ragga influenced vocals. Though rougher, the atmosphere remained similar to 1994.
1995 was also the year of commercialisation. Goldie had released 'Timeless', which sold 150,000 in UK, let alone worldwide sales. Goldie then concentrated on creating his own label called Metalheadz. Here the junglist DJ Dextrous reveals himself as J Majik. Goldie gathered the artists such as Doc Scott, Dillinja, Photek, Peshay and Lemon D, to push drum & bass. 4 Hero releases the remix of their legendary track "Mr Kirk's Nightmare". Towards the end of 1995, the jungle atmosphere started disappearing. It is generally thought, that the scene's decline was caused by the swing the leading artists made, in order to catch up with developing commercial mainstream. DJs generally wanted to take up their niches in the new commercial sphere, before it was too late. The concept of underground was somehow betrayed for money. Despite this changeover, jungle kept on going. At the beginning of 1996, clubs like AWOL and Roast were demised. Club DLB was one of the few left to keep feeding fuel into the jungle's fading fire.
1996 was also the year of drum 'n' bass style splitting. Grooverider's term "Hardstep" gains mainstream acceptance, which was a further re-fusion of jungle and hip-hop (what was earlier called the roller tune). The "step" was a rougher, stronger beat, and had more in common with 4/4 rhythm than breakbeat. Most people think that No U Turn should be credited for Techstep, which is in fact wrong. It was an album released on Emotif records (A daughter label of the now closed S.O.U.R) in 1995 entitled "Techsteppin'" that defined both the term and the music. The No-U-Turn posses fiddled with the "Terrorist" bassline (Ray Keith's 94 classic) to make it sound more acidic and analogue - the element that is most present in Drum & Bass today, and placed it over a tech-step 4/4 pumping technoid beat.
"Intelligent drum & bass" classified tracks, which had ambient/jazz licks on top. "Dark" or "Darkstep" drum & bass was pushed by Grooverider, where the name speaks for itself. "Experimental" drum & bass had never really caught up from the underground, and remained a sphere where drum & bass couldn't really be defined by any of the terms above, jungle was pushed to the back by drum & bass. Logical Progression takes it by storm nationwide, yet Good Looking is nearly at a point of bankrupcy. Adam F comes up with the legendary track "Circles", "Valley of the Shadows" known to most people as "31 seconds" by Origin Unknown gets re-released on Ram and becomes one of the years jungle anthems. The 96/97 New Year parties were somewhat reminiscent of 94 and 95 new years' eves, but have nearly lost the jungle atmosphere.
1997 - Drum & bass DJs are booked for house oriented clubs; Ministry of Sound has drum & bass sessions. What's going on? Roni Size forms a Reprazent campus, where DJ Die, DJ Suv, Krust and Roni Size come together. Roni size releases a track entitled "Share The Fall", immediately followed by Grooverider's dark remix.
Different styles of drum & bass are heading in their own directions. Roni Size's "Brown Paper Bag" becomes an anthem immediately after its release. There are many newcomers to the scene such as Boymerang. LTJ Bukem has teamed up with Blame to present Logical Progression 2. Techstep seems to be the ultimate style of the year, with Jonny L resurfacing from the past, and bringing the hardcore "Piper". DJ Krust's "Soul In Motion" is released after being 15 months on dubplate.
The jungle breaks (amens) as we know them had totally disappeared from most tunes, making it quite hard to find a tune odd one out. World Dance put on their "last" (as they said) rave at Lydd Airport. "Here is your last chance before another chapter in 'Rave History' comes to an end!" say their adverts posted around London. 5 Telepathy Raves and Last Innovation Ever is held at the Camden Palace on August 30th. Goldie's album, originally planned for the summer gets delayed. Goldie walks out on Rob Playford.
But in 1997 there were labels, that tried to overcome the "fashion" - Juice, Splash, Back 2 Basics and Second movement kept releasing the tracks that were hard and underground - MTS' "Hard Disk", New Concepts 14.98 and many other hard amen tracks including Dom & Rolands excellent work which was surprisingly overlooked.
1998 -End of style-splitting. The scene is back together, finally. Nothing is techstep, hardstep, intelligent etc. etc. it's all drum & bass. And, together with that, the amens are coming back: labels like True Playaz, Frontline, Juice, Splash, Timeless, Dread start putting out break tunes - Slow Down, the Real Vibes album and the never forgotten top tune Frozen Remix by Dom & Roland. The Labyrinth was nearly shut but then moved to the Pleasure Rooms in Tottenham, meaning it would hit it's 10th birthday and still provide the best line ups. DJ Ron makes the finest comeback with the Future Dubwise E.P. | positive |

Islamisation of India through Islamic Banking.
Islamic Bank to destroy the value of Indian economy and strength of the Hindu hold on Indian economy.
Upendra Bharti | HENB | New Delhi | Nov 22, 2016:: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has proposed opening of “Islamic window”+ in conventional banks for “gradual” introduction of Sharia-compliant or interest-free banking in the country.
Both the Centre and RBI are exploring the possibility of introduction of Islamic banking for long to ensure financial inclusion of those sections of the society that remain excluded due to religious reasons.
As per report, this Islamic banking is to make India debut in PM Modi’s home state Gujarat.
The Jeddah-based Islamic Development Bank (IDB) is in the final stages of setting up shop in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state, a move that will usher Islamic finance for homegrown startups and fund Indian exports to many African and central Asian Muslim nations.
The developments follow an agreement between India’s state-owned Exim Bank and the Islamic Corporation for the Development of the Private Sector (ICD), a private-sector arm of the IDB group, as part of deals signed during Modi’s trip to Saudi Arabia in April.
The IDB, a multilateral lender with an authorised capital of $100 billion, counts 56 Muslim nations as its members. Most of these countries belong to the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.
Saying this, “Islamic bank is like a boiled ice cream; it cannot exist in real life“+, Harvard Professor, Indian Economist and Statesman (Now Rajyasabha MP on BJP Ticket) Dr. Subramanian Swamy once challenged the advent of Islamic banking and went to the court of law but failed to restrain the emergence of Islamic Bank in India+ unfortunately.
It reveals a double standard BJP and Modi to allow islamic Bank in India, when there is a move to enact to uniform civil code in India against a Shariah proliferation in India and allowing an Islamic Bank in the same row.
The Govt of India run by BJP at present takes a very unjust and pro-Shariah step against the secular and liberal texture of plural society of India obviously.
The nationalist forum of Agniveer rightly opposes the step of Central Govt to allow the Islamic Bank in India as below:
“The PM signed a deal with Islamic Development Bank during his Saudi Arabia visit early this year to start Islamic Sharia Banking in India. Now government plans to take it ahead to reach Muslims as per his promise on September 25, 2016.
Special benefits to Sharia Banking Users will trigger religious conversions. It will cost us what even thousand years rule of tyrant Jihadis and conversion nexus of terrorist mentors like Zakir Naik could not put together.
Anybody who has proposed this demonic move must be put behind bars immediately and probed for terror linkages.
Anyone who supports or approves Islamic Sharia Banking is nothing but a supporter of Islamisation of India.
Unless we create sufficient pressure, Indian politicians are hard-wired to follow appeasement. Instead of hoping it to be a masterstroke, show the government that if it thinks of anything stupid like this, future would be worse than BJP debacle in 2004. Only then will they act sensibly”.
Zafar Sareshwala, a prominent Muslim businessman from Gujarat whom the Modi government appointed chancellor of the Maulana Azad National Urdu University soon after assuming office, is now taking the charge of Islamic Bank in India as reported in Hindustan Times (HT)+.
Asked if the launch had Modi’s blessings, given the opposition from a section of the ruling BJP, Sareshwala told HT: “Modi is a very pragmatic man. He is keen on investment, infrastructure, trade and economic growth.”
But, it is not understood, when the whole non-Islamic world is rejecting the Shariah, Halal and Islamic Banking system, why a known pro-Hindu Govt in India is allowing an Islamic Banking in India?
Government of Indian can’t assure to prohibit a parallel Islamic economy in India boosted by Islamic banking, nor Govt can resist the siphoning Islamic Bank money to any terrorist network for its Jihadi manipulation. In many cases the Islamic Banking will challenge the Govt projects and prospects which will not be up to the mark of Halal norms as per Shariah concept.
The NDA govt in Center led by BJP and PM Modi must stop the Shariah agenda of Islamic Bank for its advancement for the Islamisation of Indian society as a part of Pan Islamic agenda.
Islamic Banking will destroy the value of Indian economy and will destroy the strength of Hindu hold on Hindu economy.
Islamic Bank is coming to India as a part of Global Economic Jihad attached to Shariah and Islamic Ummah. It should be resisted, not to be allowed anyway.

He also sells T-shirts on his website and donates the proceeds to the Pacific Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Beach."For the sea lions to get food and medicine," he said.Ryan's parents hope he continues saving for college, but they say he's primarily concerned with protecting the environment."That's a big deal to Ryan, that it doesn't, the cans and bottles don't end up in the ocean," his father said.Ryan would also like to invest his savings in a business purchase."The recycling money I'm saving for a garbage truck," Ryan said.The San Juan Capistrano resident receives encouraging messages from people around the world and wants to keep inspiring others."If you already recycle, just keep on recycling. If you don't recycle, start recycling," Ryan said.Always the businessman, Ryan added, "If you want to buy one of these T-shirts, it's $13 on ryansrecycling.com ." | positive |
Earthquake strikes Tehran and Semnan provinces in Iran
08/15/15
Source: Tasnim News Agency
No injuries or damage have been reported after a mild earthquake jolted some areas on the outskirts of the Iranian capital, Tehran, an official with Iran's Red Crescent Society (IRCS) announced on Friday.
Read related report by Ghanoon daily
According to a report by Iranian Seismological Center of the Institute of Geophysics of University of Tehran, an earthquake measuring 4.1 on the Richter scale on Thursday night rattled the districts of Javad Abad, Pishva and Varamin, south of Tehran.
The institute also said that the quake was followed by seven aftershocks and foreshocks, adding that the epicenters were areas near Javad Abad, Pishva and Varamin.
"Fortunately, the quakes had no casualties or property damage so far," Head of Iran Red Crescent Society (IRCS) Relief and Rescue Organization Nasser Charkhsaz told the Tasnim News Agency on Friday.
Iran is one of the most seismically active countries in the world, being crossed by several major fault lines that cover at least 90% of the country. As a result, earthquakes in Iran occur often and are destructive.
The deadliest quake in Iran's modern history happened in June 1990. It destroyed the northern cities of Rudbar, Manjil and Lushan, along with hundreds of villages, killing an estimated 37,000 people.
Bam in the country's southeastern province of Kerman witnessed a strong quake in December 2003 which killed 31,000 people. | positive |

Apple could be ordered to pay billions of euros in back taxes in the Republic of Ireland by European Union competition officials.
The final ruling, expected on Tuesday, follows a three-year probe into Apple's Irish tax affairs, which the EU has previously identified as illegal.
The Financial Times reports that the bill will be for billions of euros, making it Europe's biggest tax penalty.
Apple and the Irish government are likely to appeal against the ruling.
Under EU law, national tax authorities are not allowed to give tax benefits to selected companies - which the EU would consider to be illegal state aid.
According to EU authorities, rulings made by the Irish government in 1991 and 2007 allowed Apple to minimise its tax bill in Ireland.
Image copyright AP Image caption EU competition chief Margrethe Vestager is leading the probe into Apple's tax affairs
Apple's company structure enabled it to legally channel international sales through Ireland to take advantage of that tax deal.
On Tuesday EU competition commissioner Margrethe Vestager is expected to give an estimate of how much Apple will have to pay back.
But it will be up to Irish authorities to calculate the exact amount.
US warning
The investigation into Apple and similar probes into other US firms have been criticised by US authorities.
Last week the US Treasury Department said the European Commission was in danger of becoming a "supra-national tax authority" overriding the tax codes of its member states.
Brussels was using a different set of criteria to judge cases involving US companies, the US Treasury warned, adding that potential penalties were "deeply troubling".
Media playback is unsupported on your device Media caption Nobel Prize winner Joseph Stiglitz says the EU is telling big corporations: "We can get you."
BBC North America technology reporter Dave Lee says that the US Treasury is concerned that if there is a big EU tax bill for Apple, as expected, then Apple will offset at least some of that against the tax it would be paying in the US.
"So it's essentially shifting billions of dollars from the US economy, from the US tax-pot, into Europe. The US says Europe simply doesn't deserve that money, because all the hard work that goes into creating the iPhone and other Apple products... takes place in the US, and not in Europe."
Apple is not the only company that has been targeted for securing favourable tax deals in the European Union.
Last year, the commission told the Netherlands to recover as much as €30m (£25.6m) from Starbucks and Luxembourg was ordered to claw back a similar amount from Fiat.
Apple is potentially facing a much bigger bill, but with cash reserves of more than $200bn (£153bn), the company will have little problem paying up.
Nevertheless, Apple may have to restate its accounts following the ruling.
Image copyright Getty Images Image caption Apple currently has a stock market value of around $600bn
Analysis: Dominic O'Connell, Today business presenter
The current focus is on the size of the bill - how much the European Commission thinks Apple should pay Ireland in back taxes. That will be big enough, but there are even larger issues at stake, including one fundamental question - who really runs the world, governments or giant corporations?
At present, it is difficult to tell. Individual governments appear impotent in their attempts to apply their tax laws to multinationals like Apple. They have systems designed to deal with the movement and sale of physical goods, systems that are useless when companies derive their profits from the sale of services and the exploitation of intellectual property.
In Apple's case, 90% of its foreign profits are legally channelled to Ireland, and then to subsidiaries which have no tax residence. At the same time, countries can scarcely afford not to co-operate when Apple comes calling; it has a stock market value of $600bn, and the attraction of the jobs it can create and the extra inward investment its favours can bring are too much for most politicians to resist.
There is an echo here of the tycoons of the early 20th Century who bestrode America. Andrew Carnegie, Cornelius Vanderbilt and John Rockefeller were judged so powerful that they were almost above the law, something that successive US administrations sought to curb.
The European Commission's attempt to bring Apple to heel is on the surface about tax, but in the end about the power of the multinational and the power of the state. There is more to come; Margarethe Vestager, the Danish commissioner who is leading the charge against Apple, is warming up to take on Google.
Europe versus the giants of corporate America will be a battle royale, and one that will run and run. | positive |

Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol might be the most famous Christmas story of all time. It’s been adapted countless times in literature, cinema, and television, yet it never feels stale. The timeless tale of bitter Ebenezer Scrooge getting visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve who all help him to realize the error of his ways, and convince him to correct them, can be easily molded to fit any group of characters. It’s why A Christmas Carol has become such a popular format for TV shows to follow for their Christmas-themed episodes. Here are 7 of the most memorable, and sometimes offbeat, A Christmas Carol-inspired TV episodes of all time.
Family Ties, “A Keaton Christmas Carol”
It’s no surprise that cynical Alex P. Keaton would be the Scrooge in the Family Ties Christmas Carol episode. He’s the perfect candidate — obnoxious, jaded, and obsessed with money — so in “A Keaton Christmas Carol” he’s visited by ghosts to change his grumpy mood. There are only two ghosts here (past and future) who take the form of his two sisters but it works incredibly well, resulting in a funny and touching episode — just like every Family Ties episode.
Beavis and Butt-Head, “Huh Huh Humbug”
If Beavis and Butt-Head seem like an unlikely duo to have a fuzzy Christmas special then, well, you’re right. One of the segments Beavis and Butt-head Do Christmas, a collection of Christmas episodes was “Huh Huh Humbug,” a Christmas Carol parody in which Beavis is the manager of Burger World and is visited by three ghosts while trying to watch porn. The ghosts tell him that he wasted his life (basically because he never got laid) but, of course, he doesn’t learn anything. It is Beavis, after all.
Roseanne, “Halloween IV”
In keeping with Roseanne‘s fun spirit and the series always-incredible Halloween episodes, its Christmas Carol inspired episode actually revolves around Halloween. When Roseanne refuses to celebrate Halloween one year, she’s visited by three Ghosts: Halloween Past, Present, and Future who successfully try to change her mind by showing her all the great Halloween costumes and pranks she’s previously pulled off. The subversion works for Roseanne and helps to show why this holiday became so important to her.
Sanford and Son, “Ebeneezer Sanford”
In one of Sanford‘s best episodes, grumpy Fred spends the beginning complaining about the holidays and swindling a young boy who is trying to earn money to buy gifts. He explicitly gets compared to Scrooge (“What the Dickens are you talking about?” he replies). Fred then gets visited by three ghosts — the ghost of Christmas future in a great astronaut suit — who teach him the error of his ways and, predictably, Fred wakes up from his nap as a changed man. It’s the most straightforward adaptation but it works with the series.
Boy Meets World, “A Very Topanga Christmas”
“A Very Topanga Christmas” only loosely follows the conventions of a typical Christmas Carol episode. The episode begins with Topanga and Cory clashing over their different Christmas traditions when Topanga spends the holiday at the Matthews’ house. Cory falls asleep watching A Christmas Carol and dreams of being visited by just one ghost, the Ghost of Christmas Future (obviously played by Mr. Feeny), who shows him what life would be like if he doesn’t end up with Topanga.
Roundhouse, “Happy Holidays”
Roundhouse, the oft-forgotten progressive, subversive, and just plain weird comedy that aired on Nickelodeon in the ’90s, had a Christmas special that loosely revolved around a father’s lack of Christmas spirit. He’s visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Specials (for some reason they include actors Bill Cosby, Vanilla Ice, and Patrick Swayze).
Blackadder, “Blackadder’s Christmas Carol”
In this Christmas Carol parody from the wonderful gem Blackadder, the series completely subverts it by having Rowan Atkinson play Ebenezer Blackadder, the nicest man in England — or, essentially, the polar opposite of Scrooge in the original version. The spirit of Christmas shows Blackadder his past relatives but instead of realizing he’s better than them, Blackadder wants to be like them. He sees a vision of the future of how strong and successful his heirs would be if Blackadder weren’t so nice. When Blackadder wakes the next morning, he becomes the bitter Scrooge that we know from the original story. | positive |
WHEN the Western Bulldogs run out on to the MCG to face Collingwood in round 10, Koby Stevens will be brimming with pride for more than one reason.
In a season in which the rugged midfielder has displayed career-best form, the 24-year-old will wear a guernsey that holds special meaning to him.
The club will mark Sir Doug Nicholls Round with a new indigenous jumper, and Stevens is looking forward to celebrating the profound impact his people have had on the game.
The Bulldogs will also don the jumper in round 11 when they host West Coast at Etihad Stadium and the Dogs' women's team will wear it against Western Australia on June 5.
"It's always a good round every year to show some leadership in the indigenous community and to be able to wear a jumper I'm pretty proud of," Stevens told AFL.com.au.
"It's a great concept."
The Bulldogs guernsey was developed by a group of Ballarat indigenous artists named The Pitcha Makin Fellas, and it continues the strong ties the Bulldogs have with the regional city.
The figure in the centre of the guernsey, known as the Great Black Pointer, is pointing the way for all, giving direction and showing a path to follow.
Stevens and Joel Hamling, the only current Bulldogs with indigenous heritage, spent time with group during the design process.
"The jumper symbolises an elder statesman within the community showing leadership and good guidance to the younger people," Stevens said.
"It's a big thing within our community to show leadership to the younger people growing up."
While Stevens is looking forward to the celebratory round, he's been busy rehabilitating an abdominal strain that saw him miss the nail-biting win over Adelaide.
"It's just a little strain and it's something that's been lingering for a weeks, so it was in my best interests to have a week off," he said.
"I'm touch and go for this week, but I'm giving myself every chance to get up for Sunday's game against Melbourne."

The Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea has called for other countries in the Asia region to also shoulder the responsibility of resettling asylum seekers, as refugees from Manus Island are moved into the local Manus community.
Prime Minister Peter O'Neill said the few refugees who have been resettled in PNG have been "well accepted" into the community.

"Despite some of the negative reporting, the Manus Island detention centre is going very well," he told Fairfax Media. "The processing of the genuine asylum seekers is going quite well."
Until this year, asylum seekers being held in the Manus Island detention centre were waiting longer than a year to have their asylum status processed. Mr O'Neill blamed the delay on the asylum seekrs, saying they did not offer enough proof to verify whether they were genuinely seeking asylum. | positive |
South African Jaco Van Zyl, who sat out the year’s last major, the PGA Championship, to prepare for the Olympics, says the world’s top-ranked golfers are using the Zika virus as an excuse to dodge the Rio Games.
World number one Jason Day of Australia, American world number two Dustin Johnson and number three Jordan Spieth and fourth ranked Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy all removed their names from Olympic consideration citing the risk of contracting the Zika virus.
U.S. health officials have concluded that infections by the mosquito-borne Zika virus in pregnant women can cause microcephaly, a birth defect marked by small head size that can lead to severe developmental problems in babies.
The World Health Organization has also warned there is strong scientific consensus that Zika can also cause Guillain-Barre, a rare neurological syndrome that causes temporary paralysis in adults.
“Honestly, I can’t feel that the Zika virus would be their reason not to go, the Zika virus is in Florida,” said Van Zyl, number 71 in the world ranking.

“I think they have got other reasons for not wanting to participate and the Zika virus is a very convenient way for them to get out of it.”
Making its return to the Olympic program for the first time in over a century, golf has been hard hit by drop outs.
Major winners Adam Scott of Australia, Fiji’s Vijay Singh and South Africans Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel will also be among the absentees for the Aug. 11-14 Olympic competition.

Oosthuizen and Schwartzel’s decision to skip the Games, however, opened the door for Van Zyl, who made going for gold a top priority and rearranged his schedule to prepare for the Olympics.
“If I can choose one (a major championship win or an Olympic gold medal) I would definitely take the gold,” said the 37-year-old, who was runner-up at the Turkish Airlines Open last year. “The reason being that there are four majors every year and one Olympic gold medalist in 112 years.
“To get an opportunity and let it pass by doesn’t make much sense to me.” | positive |

The advertising on the back of the box is rife with inaccuracies.The name of the main character, Barney Calhoun, is a tongue-in-cheek reference to what most fans of Half-Life started calling the various security guards around the Black Mesa complex in bothand. The reason the fans started to call the guards "Barneys", is because they were usually slow, dim-witted, and not very helpful, which is very much like the deputy sheriff Barney on the old showwas going to be the killer app added to theDreamcast port, specially since Sierra promised to take full advantage of the Dreamcast's capabilities to handle the new high definition models.

WASHINGTON -- After sparking a furor in Washington Monday with a letter signed by fellow Republican senators warning Iran against nuclear diplomacy with the Obama administration, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) went to the extra trouble of having his message translated into Farsi for Iranian leaders. Among his targets: foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
Cotton needn't have bothered with the translation. Zarif is more than capable of reading the Republicans' letter in English. He attended prep school in San Francisco, San Francisco State University, Columbia University, and the University of Denver's School of International Studies (where, Zarif told The New Yorker's Robin Wright, a professor who had taught GOP foreign policy icon Condoleezza Rice once quipped to the young Iranian, "In Denver, we produce liberals like Javad Zarif, not conservatives like Condi Rice.")
Zarif, leading his nation's negotiations with the U.S., the U.K., France, Germany, Russia and China, put that education to use in his response Monday to the Republican message, which suggested that Iran's leaders "may not fully understand our constitutional system."
Zarif answered that it was Cotton and the 46 other Republican senators who signed his letter who suffered from a lack of "understanding."
"The authors may not fully understand that in international law, governments represent the entirety of their respective states, are responsible for the conduct of foreign affairs, are required to fulfil the obligations they undertake with other states and may not invoke their internal law as justification for failure to perform their international obligations," Zarif said, according to Iran's government-controlled Tasnim News Agency.
He suggested that the Republican warning that a successor to President Barack Obama could undo any agreement with Iran was baseless. Zarif said the "change of administration does not in any way relieve the next administration from international obligations undertaken by its predecessor."
Any agreement to limit Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief would likely be endorsed by the United Nations Security Council, Zarif said, as well as the other nations involved in the talks. A State Department official told The Huffington Post in an email that any potential deal with Iran would be a non-binding international agreement -- not the kind of pact Cotton and the GOP senators referenced in their letter.
Zarif noted, as did the State Department official, that many U.S. international agreements, including those that protect the rights of U.S. troops based abroad, are not ratified by the Senate. To the Zarif, that means that even if the deal with his country is not an executive agreement the way Cotton and his GOP colleagues suggested, the senators have undermined other U.S. agreements by suggesting they aren't taken seriously.
Zarif on Monday went even further by using the GOP misstep to seize an advantage that the Obama administration has said it does not want to give Iran: the chance to say the nuclear negotiations could fail because of the U.S.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran has entered these negotiations in good faith and with the political will to reach an agreement," Zarif said. "It is imperative for our counterparts to prove similar good faith and political will in order to make an agreement possible.”
As chief nuclear negotiator, Zarif has been in a precarious position as the talks, twice extended, continue. He has been slammed by Iran's hard-liners, most recently over a photo op with Secretary of State John Kerry in Geneva in mid-January. That Zarif went for a stroll with Kerry was, according to one influential paramilitary commander in Iran, akin to “trampling on the blood of martyrs."
Monday's letter presented Zarif with a rare opportunity to both look tough on the U.S. for his domestic audience and reasonable to the international community.
It was Cotton who drew flak. The State Department official who emailed The Huffington Post called Cotton's stunt "profoundly contrary to U.S. interests." Obama told reporters he saw the GOP effort as an example of "some members of Congress wanting to make common cause with the hardliners in Iran."
"It's an unusual coalition," the president added.
Neither those comments nor the statements from Zarif seemed to sway Cotton. Appearing on CNN in the late afternoon, the freshman senator told Jake Tapper he simply did not believe there was such a thing as an Iranian leadership that could be negotiated with -- begging the question of why he made such a high-profile and controversial appeal to Tehran in the first place.
"Jake, they're nothing but hard-liners in Iran," Cotton said. "Nothing but hard-line Islamic extremists who have been killing Americans around the world for 35 years."
The Obama administration maintains that diplomacy is the only way to prevent Iran from pursuing nuclear weapons. The administration also has made clear it will pursue any option to prevent Iran from gaining a nuclear weapon, though it would like to accomplish that through peaceful talks rather than military action. | positive |
Ex-Sevilla defender Ivica Dragutinovic has told the Croatian media he expects former Sánchez-Pizjuán idol Ivan Rakitic to end his career back at the Andalusian club.
"He'll play his last season or last two seasons there"
Rakitic, 28, spent three and a half successful years at Sevilla between 2011 and 2014, earning the captaincy and winning a Europa League before joining Barcelona.
Full screen Rakitic became a firm favourite at Sevilla in his three and a half seasons at the club.
And Dragutinovic, who briefly coincided with the Croatia international midfielder in southern Spain, explained to 'Vecernji': "He has a house in Seville and and he'll play his last season or last two seasons at Sevilla."
"He made a profound impression"
"He adapted really well to the city," the retired Serb said of Rakitic, whose wife is from the area. "He made a profound impression there." | positive |

UPDATE 2 (June 1, 2016): @PeelPoliceMedia is now online as of 10:45 a.m. today.
UPDATE: Police have confirmed they have regained access to the account and will be reinstating it tomorrow.
The @PeelPoliceMedia account on Twitter was hacked by a user known as @KEEMStar. The account has been deleted at this point.
Around 9:00 p.m. on Monday night, Kevin Montgomery noticed a peculiar response from the Peel Regional Police’s official media relations account on Twitter.
It was deleted a few minutes later.
However, minutes later, the account’s profile picture and banner were changed and the user started to regularly tweet profanity and tag porn websites like @PornHub.
At 9:49 p.m., George Tudos, a Peel police public information officer, tweeted that the police were “aware our Corporate account @peelpolicemedia has been hacked, we are working on issue, we apologize for this inconvenience @Support”.
Some of the tweets captured are below.
At this point, either the police or the hacker have deleted the account.

.:.Beneath the Burial Leaves of a Dying Earth.:.
An Interview with Nhor
by Ben Cullimore
___
Since appearing out of thin air six years ago, Nhor has been creating deep and challenging music that is simultaneously beautiful and distressing. From his piano-driven début album to 2013’s Within the Darkness Between the Starlight, the nameless and faceless entity behind Nhor has weaved seamlessly between brooding dark ambient and ferocious black metal, either with standalone releases for each or by simultaneously straddling the space between the two.
His ability to successfully wed two musical styles from opposite ends of the sonic spectrum was perfectly showcased on Within the Darkness Between the Starlight, a record that rose and fell like a wave as he utilized all of the tools at his disposal to create a musical journey through grief and solitude. Negative emotions play an important role for Nhor, and each record, no matter what the intensity, acts as a method of catharsis for both the listener and the creator, something that the latter is quick to admit is a main motivator behind his work.
“I’ve come to define myself by sorrow,” he explains to me. “I don’t know who I’d be without it.”
After a two-year absence, this November saw the release of his latest offering, Momenta Quintae Essentiae, a return to the beautifully sparse and utterly otherworldly piano-centered style that characterized his first two records. Despite the lack of intensity—musically speaking—Momenta Quintae Essentiae is arguably Nhor’s most emotional release, and one that is punctuated by delicate, reverb-laden piano lines layered with ghostly chanting and eerie acoustic guitar.
Nature, alongside sadness and solitude, also plays an important role in making Nhor’s music as evocative as it is, and the stillness of the English countryside—the place that he calls home—can clearly be felt in every note, as can the appreciation that he feels for a life away from the rush of urban expanses.
“I have no interest in cities, even when inside of a park or a green space. It feels stunted,” he says. “I’m not sure I could live in any place in which I couldn’t see the horizon or the night sky, or gather signs for the coming change in weather.”
If it weren’t for the countryside and the sincere connection to the natural world that it offers, the use of Nhor as a musical outlet arguably would not have come to be.
One night, as he stood beneath the stars on a cold, cloudless night, he was drawn to the cabin at the foot of his garden by a rustling on the edge of the forest that surrounds his home. After inspecting the noise and entering the cabin, he found his father’s old piano, laden with a pair of binoculars and a lantern. Then, with his fingers stiff from the cold, he began to slowly play the piano, and it was there that he discovered the foundations of what would later become Nhor.
“I stumbled across two chords that ached with sadness, and I played them over and over, listening to how the room began to fill with their song,” he explains. “I could feel the atmosphere within the cabin changing, beginning to flow out of the door and into the starry skies above. I recall clearly how the two chords sang out like the stars, their pale notes hanging in the air and painting the room with their light as if the stars themselves were softly appearing within the darkness around me.”
This appreciation for the natural world has not only punctuated each Nhor release but has also found its way into the imagery and art that surrounds the music. His close relationship with Sin Eater has resulted in the works of the Midlands-based illustrator featuring prominently on each Nhor release, and the duo’s deep appreciation of the natural world has helped to give another meaning to the music through beautifully drawn illustrations that grace each album cover.
With every record, Nhor has increased the scope of his artistic outlook, and his back-catalog is now characterized by everything from pieces of literary work to, in the case of the deluxe edition of Momenta Quintae Essentiae, handmade incense sticks with their own specially constructed scent. Each piece of art is created in an attempt to compliment the music, resulting in all of the listener’s senses being fully immersed in the experience. This is a conscious decision by Nhor, who sees the music that he creates as being an expression of his life as a whole, with all of his art helping to paint a picture and tell a story.
“Nhor is really just a movement of my life, and everything is connected through myself,” he says. “There are some things I can’t express through words, and this is where music takes over, but even music has its limitations and there are points where literature covers these gaps. I have tried venturing out now, creating my own incense—‘a fire of wild flowers’—and I’ve also experimented with photography and moving imagery. I don’t wish to ever limit myself to one outlet for my expression of existence.”
Despite the clear and concise thinking behind the direction in which he is traveling and the role that his art plays, Nhor believes that it is still important to have a sense of mystery so that the listener is able to bring their own beliefs and meaning to what is being offered to them.
“Everything that I do has a clear concept behind it, but I don’t like to tie all of the loose ends,” he explains. “By that, I mean that I like to leave things somewhat ambiguous so that others may use their own imagination to fill the gaps as they see fit. For instance, the track ‘Hedera’ from my new album translates to ‘Ivy’, and each track has a short sentence explaining the moment or space in which it was found—‘the ivy steps leave me here once more’. The ivy steps could be physical steps covered in ivy, yet I mean them in terms of how my eyes follow ivy like a great staircase that leads always above the stars, where time is lost.”
That ambiguity is also punctuated by Nhor’s decision to publish all music and correspondence under that simple, four-letter moniker, leaving his true name and appearance as a complete mystery to the listener. He believes that this allows the emphasis to translate to the listener, as what is directly laid out in front of them is all that they have to connect with the art that is being presented.
“I wish people to connect with their own thoughts and feelings, to encourage them to experience nature for themselves,” he says. “Musically, and within the passages that I write, I try to avoid cluttering my work, as I like to include only that which is needed. My image and my name are not important here, so let them fall to the wayside.”
As Momenta Quintae Essentiae showcases, Nhor’s insistence on concentrating solely on the art that he creates has allowed him to produce music that has gained plaudits from all spheres of the musical community. In his own words, the latest release is “the purest Nhor album to date,” and it is easy to see why it has been received so positively by his ever-increasing fan base.
With each release, his ability to challenge the listener in increasingly powerful ways is a joy to behold, as his concentrated and minimalist approach to songwriting has only helped him to achieve his continued goal of connecting with the listener on a deep and emotional level.
As ever, the future direction of Nhor is something that only he knows, but what is certain is that there is still much of the story yet to be told. | positive |
According to the "scientific" research of Alejandro Portes, massive immigration into Europe is improving social cohesion
T
Robert Putnam
distrust their neighbors, regardless of the color of their skin, to withdraw even from close friends, to expect the worst from their community and its leaders, to volunteer less, give less to charity and work on community projects less often, to register to vote less, to agitate for social reform more but have less faith that they can actually make a difference, and to huddle unhappily in front of the television.
Alejandro Portes
Portes: My scientific data tells me that we must not give in to fear when Muslims and Migrants commit violent acts against Europeans. Rather, we must reinforce our commitment to mass immigration and diversity.
There is a stronger causal relationship between levels of economic inequality and levels of social capital than there is between levels of diversity and levels of social capital. The quality of social capital in a community is more negatively affected by increasing levels of poverty and inequality than by increasing levels of diversity. "It is not diversity per but unequal diversity that makes a difference" on the levels of social capital. The concept of social capital Putnam employs is akin to the concept of "mechanical solidarity" the classical sociologist Emile Durkheim wrote about in the 1890s. Durkheim drew a distinction between the mechanical solidarity of traditional societies and the "organic solidarity" of modern societies. Putnam longs for Western societies characterized by mechanical solidarity, which is a type of integration "based on cultural homogeneity and mutual acquaintance." But the organic solidarity of modern societies, according to Portes, is inevitably based on "heterogeneity, role differentiation, and a complex division of labor." We cannot expect modern societies to be based on mechanical solidarity; that may be possible in some backward towns, but in our current diverse societies, with their large corporations and impersonal markets, solidarity must be based, not on traditions and kinship, but on abstract norms and rules "that are understood and accepted by all and are enforced by specialized agencies."
Diversity Has Negative Effect On Social Capital Of Whites
Alesina and LaFerrara (2002) found that "racial fragmentation...had a significant negative effect on the proportion of trusting respondents even when controlling for inequality, ethnic ancestry fragmentation."
Costa & Kahn "found that racial diversity was associated with lower civic engagement among 25-to 54 year olds..."
Stolle et al. (2008) "report a negative association between...proportion of residents who are a 'visible' minority and social trust, but argue that the effect is greater for majority (white) respondents"
Uslaner (2010) "reports a negative effect of contextual diversity for whites only."
Fieldhouse & Cutts (2010) "show that the negative effect of diversity on social capital is a small fraction of the negative effect of poverty."
"Evidence from the UK shows some support for Putnam's thesis but also illustrates the importance of taking deprivation and social interaction into account."
Letki (2008) "found that racial diversity was negatively associated with attitudes toward one's neighbors" but that "racial diversity did not have a detrimental effect on informal sociability."
Lawrence (2011) "finds a negative relationship between diversity and localized trust in the UK but shows that this association is reduced considerably by community-level deprivation."
Sturgis & Smith ( (2010) "find that..despite negative relationship [between ethnic heterogeneity and trust]...diversity accounts for a minuscule portion of the variability in strategic trust and the effect is strongly moderated by neighborhood deprivation."
Fieldhouse & Cutts (2010) report a negative relationship between diversity and...social capital in the UK but find that this effect depends on...poverty and on the racial/ethnic background of the respondent."
Stolle et al. (2008) "report a negative relationship between contextual diversity and trust in Canada, with visible minorities less susceptible to this effect than the white majority."
Portes's Misuse Of Durkheim Against White Organic Solidarity
calls to homogeneity and communitarianism [which] are backward looking and, hence, reactionary. They promote a return to an idealized past...bucolic rural communities...an ideal scarcely compatible with the requirement of a complex world.
a simple excursion into the sociological classics suffices to remind us that the glue that keeps modern society together is not the mechanical solidarity [of small communities] but a higher form of cohesion associated with a complex division of labor and the strength of institutions.
by Dr. Ricardo Duchesne he academic world is totally dedicated to the diversification of all White-created nations. The research effort, the collection of data, the preparation of surveys, the proposals for lucrative grants, the long string of mediocre articles and books regularly published, are overwhelmingly biased in favour of mass immigration. It is assumed among all academics that White "homogeneous communities" without a program of diversification are inherently "backward looking," "reactionary," "anti-democratic," devoid of "youth" and "energy," and out of touch with the "requirements" of the times. Before 2006 or so, most of the studies on the merits of diversity were not really empirical assessments but theoretical postulations about the value of increasing opportunities for minorities, celebrating multiculturalism, and implementing policies that would improve racial equality. While there were empirical studies on racial inequalities and the effects of such inequalities on community cohesion, there were few studies on immigration-induced diversity. This should not surprise us. Mass immigration only started to gather real momentum in Europe in the early 2000s, and the rising proportion of immigrants in Australia, Canada, and the United States became really noticeable, a subject of much debate in the media, around the same time.Organized calls for mass immigration from the Third World were coming primarily from business lobbies looking for cheap labour and mass consumers. Academics were happily producing theoretical works on the supposed merits of multiculturalism and willingly supporting mass immigration without much empirical evidence about its supposed benefits or costs. Their support was more a result of their obsession with racial equality, their opposition to Western colonization of Third World peoples, and the increasing identification of whiteness per se with racism.But soon enough, in the early 2000s, studies started coming out assessing the consequences of diversification. From the beginning, however, these studies tended to be guided by the idea that diversity was a positive goal. No academic was questioning the program itself. Such opposition was deemed to be "bigoted" and "ignorant," not for the educated, beyond the orbit of research proposals. Empirical studies were framed in such a way that negative findings about immigration were categorized as "challenges" to be overcome with further "integration" proposals and calls for policy initiatives to increase opportunities for immigrants. Negative reactions by White members of the host nation were not allowed to enter into the "empirical data" but were summarily disqualified as indications that the community was "xenophobic." Only the criticisms of minorities, or conformists on the left, about "lack of affirmative action," or "lack of integration efforts," was counted as evidence, not against the program, but as further confirmation of the need to expand the program.But suddenly, in the year 2006, a study by Harvard professor Robert Putnam was released, based on detailed interviews of nearly 30,000 people across America, showing that the greater the diversity in a community, the less people trusted each other, the less they gave to charity and worked on projects to improve the community, and the less they voted. In those communities supposedly enriched by diversity, neighbors trusted one another about half as much as they did in those communities that remained homogeneously White.Putnam defined this decline in community or public engagement as a decline in "social capital." By "social capital" Putnam meant all those "social networks" through which people do things for each other, engage in collective-public action, such as "in friendship networks, neighborhoods, churches, schools, bridge clubs, civic associations and even bars." " These social networks, according to Putnam don't just promote "warm and cuddly feelings, but encourage a wide variety of specific community benefits that flow from the trust, reciprocity, information, and cooperation" that is intrinsic to these networks.Surveying the citizens of 41 American communities on a whole range of questions about their social networking, Putnam argued that the US had experienced a substantial decline in social capital in those communities that were diversified. Neighborhoods in less diversified communities were safer; the people were more involved in community projects, and more citizens voted. In conclusion, Putnam noted that people in more diverse communities tend toPutnam, a typical academic committed to diversity, kept his study hidden for some years. When he went public with the findings, he immediately adopted the attitude every academic adopts when facing inconvenient facts: he called for more education and integration programs to overcome the negative effects of diversity. He actually looked forward to the day when European communities would alter their social identities as "French," "British," "German" for "more encompassing identities," a "new, more capacious sense of 'we'," that is, a sense of "us" that includes millions of non-Europeans.Putnam's findings had zero impact on the program of diversification. The acceleration of immigration into Europe, already visible through the early 2000s, actually intensified after his study came out. It was also around this time that the academic world went into high gear collecting lots of data "showing" that diversity was one of the greatest blessings Europeans could ever hoped for. Putnam's work stood as an irritating thorn in an academic world accustomed to the publication of fluffy philosophical justifications for diversity. This resulted, after 2006, in an outpouring of empirically oriented studies anxiously aimed at undermining the credibility of Putnam's findings. There is a 2011 paper by Alejandro Portes (with Erik Vickstrom) which reviews many of these papers, starting with a few studies published before 2006, but focusing mainly on papers published in 2006 and after.Portes says that this "burgeoning literature on ethno-racial diversity" refutes the findings of Putnam on the "alleged" harmful effects of diversity "on public trust and cohesion." Daniel Hiebert, from the University of British Columbia, believes that this paper by Portes "basically tore Putnam's argument apart piece by piece." The one thing I will agree is that Portes's paper stands as an excellent entry point in the evaluation of the merits of this "burgeoning" literature. But I will show, to the contrary, that neither this literature nor Portes own claims refute Putnam's arguments.The Argument Of Portes Consists Of Two Main Points:While Portes is correct that it is very difficult to understand the exact relationship levels of diversity have on levels of social capital independently of the effects other factors exert, such as poverty rates, religious affiliation, racial composition, and inequality, he is wrong that "a veritable mountain of research with mostly contradictory results" has been compiled against Putnam's thesis. This will be demonstrated below.With respect to his second criticism, Portes totally misreads Durkheim's conception of organic solidarity as if Durkheim meant to describe societies that were racially "diverse" and culturally "heterogeneous." Durkheim was actually referring to the modern European nations of his day, which were racially and culturally homogeneous (notwithstanding the fact that some European nations had European, Jewish and religious minorities). These European nations were industrialized societies held together by a high division of labour in which citizens depended on each other. They were not held together by old tribal customs but by liberal values agreed upon by a population that was overwhelmingly White. The notion that Putnam somehow rejected this idea of organic solidarity in the name of traditional communities held together by kinship and illiberal values is ridiculous. It is obvious that the American communities Putnam wrote about with a high social capital were more modern and industrialized than the communities Durkheim called organic.But let's not get ahead of our refutation. I will focus first on demonstrating that there is no mountain of research refuting Putnam, and I will do so by relying on what Portes himself says about the articles that supposedly contradict Putnam's thesis. I will sum up in point form the "contradictory results." I will use the name of authors and year of publication to identify these studies so that interested readers can check the exact references in Portes's article.Note: It is obvious that Portes uses the word "but" in this last item because he has decided, as I pointed above, that negative effects of diversity on Whites per se do not count as negative if they benefit non-Whites. Rather, negative effects on Whites count as evidence that Whites are not accepting diversity and that they need more education on the merits of diversity and the perils of racism. This is why Portes decided arbitrarily to redefine Durkheim's concept of organic solidarity to mean a society that is modern: to argue that a White community is, in his words, "backward" and "reactionary" and in need of modernization through diversity. Whites who disengage in community activities, resulting in a decline in social capital, are simply reacting against modern organic solidarity, wishing to maintain a racist mechanical solidarity.Get it? Whites who like diversity count; Whites who dislike it don't count. They need to get on with it, transcend their inclination for "mechanical solidarity"; never mind that Whites were responsible for modernity and the creation of communities based on organic solidarity, and that it is non-Whites who are more inclined to in-group, race-based solidarity.It is quite revealing that Portes never asks what effects the importation of low skill workers may have on poverty levels, the effects that the disproportionate use of welfare by immigrants may have on the proportion of welfare going to Whites or nationals, and the effects that the importation of cheap labor may have on wages Again, what these studies are saying is that there is support for Putnam's thesis but that what matters is the way immigrants are suffering "deprivation" due to White privilege. When they say that diversity did not have a "detrimental effect on informal sociability" they mean that it did not have a negative effect on organic sociability, the informal contacts individuals have in a complex city with a high division of labour; and since Portes redefines "organic solidarity" in such a way that it involves diversity, what we have here is a tautological statement: increasing diversity did not have a negative effect on diversity.It does not matter if there is a negative relationship between diversity and trust, what matters is that British nationals must support immigrant communities with ever more welfare spending and ever higher taxes inflicted on the White middle classes to support immigrant cohesion.You get the drift; research keeps showing a negative relationship between diversity and trust/social capital, but the problem is that nationals are not giving enough welfare handouts to immigrants. Moreover, if the respondents are White, that is because they have not yet learned how to live in a diverse society. Conversely, if the respondents are not Whites, that is because Whites are not doing enough to integrate them.Heads I win, tails you lose.The problem lies with Whites; visible minorities are superior in their ability to live with diversity; we need to replace archaic Whites stuck with images of mechanical associations; immigrants are more sophisticated, they are adapting to diverse organic communities which are the wave of the future.Eight more studies with similar results for various Western countries are commented upon by Portes. The basic message of these studies, as is evident from the ones I cited, is not that Putnam is wrong, or even, as Portes eventually acknowledges, that they lend "only qualitative support to Putnam's hunkering down hypothesis." They actually lend considerable support if we don't exclude the value of White opinions, or twist and bend Putnam's concept of social capital to mean social capital in an organic community that is by definition equated with diversity, rather than an organic community as Durkheim defined it, industrialized and with a high division of labour based on liberal values, but not necessarily diverse. Once Portes identifies organic communities as "diverse" and "heterogeneous," any dissent from diversity is seen as a wish to return to a mechanical form of solidarity, as a wish for more racially homogeneous communities based on blood ties, and therefore as a racist attitude that needs to be transcended through further enforcement of diversity.The following words from Portes clearly illustrate his incredibly warped assumption that any form of negative reporting by Whites about diversity bespeak ofNo, Portes, they are calls for their own communities, their own heritage and identity, for communities based on liberal democratic solidarity, rather than on a "solidarity" imposed by cosmopolitan elites from above through deception. They are calls for the solidarity Durkheim appreciated in the Europe of his day against the radical alteration of this liberal framework based on the fabricated value that "diversity is our strength" when it is the source of the cohesion breakdown.Portes brags thatThis is very misleading. A simple excursion into my copy of Durkheim's, and other books with his selected writings and about his ideas, shows me that Durkheim did identify the European societies of his time with a higher form of cohesion based on a complex division of laborever using the words diversity and immigration. Portes, perhaps realizing that he is distorting a classical sociologist, decides in his conclusion to bring up the standard (and very deceptive) claim that immigration "is actually a good thing" because the "ethnically homogeneous and aging population" [of Europe] need massive injections immigrant "youth and energy" if they are to survive economically in the long term.But what we have seen in Sweden Italy , Britain, France, Ireland are injections of unskilled immigrants costing billions of dollars in welfare expenses, continuous terrorist acts by Muslims, and persistent incidents of sexual assaults and gang rapes against White women . Portes does not even bring these issues but assumes that it is the fault of the host White population for not integrating immigrants properly. In any case, we know that Japan and South Korea, and every other non-Western nation facing an aging population, are finding better solutions, such as automation, late retirement, and policies encouraging families to have more children.Portes, and all the sources he cited, did not refute Putnam thesis. These studies were either relatively consistent with Putnam's observations or they were implicit efforts to blame Whites for not committing more resources to foreigners rather than to their own nationals. Even though I am not an expert in empirical gathering of data about the merits or flaws of diversity, I have decisively refuted Portes's argument, exposed his incredibly bad reading of Durkheim, his misrepresentation of recent research findings, and his unexplained assumption that the only way to solve the problem of an aging German or Irish or Italian or Swedish population is to promote their replacement by Africans, Muslims, and Asians. This is a policy of ethnocide pretending to be "scientific." | positive |
Tips from Colour Grading Breakdowns
One of the most interesting things to invest your time in as a budding colorist is examining, frame by frame and node by node, the work of professional colorists to see how they are crafting their RAW resources into beautifully perfected finished shots. One colorist who is exceptionally generous at sharing his work is Montreal based colorist Charles-Etienne Pascal. His single shot breakdown series is now into the double digits, and his more detailed colour Grading steps series has some great insights in it too. Here is an example of both series, but be sure to check out the blog posts that go with each video too… Colour Grading Breakdown – Marked For Murder | Colour Grading Steps – Marked for Murder
Step 03: Grading the Midtones It’s time to add some color in there. My shadows seems to be good for now, so I start right away with the mids. Let’s add a little bit of green and yellow to get a step closer to our initial goal. The key is to add just the right amount of warmth without introducing to much red. We are aiming for a dirty industrial look and the yellow with a greenish tint is just perfect for the mid tones. I’ve also added a notch of brightness to slightly brighten the image.
Another facet to Charles-Etienne’s site is are his occasional tutorials, which are always worth the time to digest. In this shot breakdown he details how he combined three separate colour keys to add texture, balance and richness to the final grade.
Another Montreal based colorist, Mathieu Marano, is a multi-talented man, colorist, blogger, trainer and more. He also creates handy things like this Mistika Shortcuts PDF, and some really nice colour grading breakdowns like these two above and below. There are even more on his blog like this one for a nifty ad for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, so hop over there and have a rummage around on the home tab.
What’s more if you’re a french speaker/reader then you should totally check out Front Créatif de Montréal, a site that Mathieu has written “about 90% of the articles” on.

Beauty Grading – Skin Smoothing in Resolve
Colorist, author and trainer, Alexis Van Hurkman shares some wise thoughts on the ethical aspect of this colour correction process over on his personal blog that are well worth a read. The question of whether the kind of ‘perfected’ body image, that almost all commercials, films and TV work promote, should be what the industry creates, or whether we should be faithful to the real person and be happy with that. Personally whenever I’ve sat in (as an editor) on grading sessions where the female actors are being stretched, squeezed and polished I’ve always rejected it as completely unnecessary.
Knowing on the one hand that all digital images given to me will benefit from some adjustment, and on the other hand realizing that overcorrection will encourage bad habits in an industry that is all-too-often guilty of encouraging unrealistic ideals, I’ve developed a simple rule that I try to adhere to when grading performers in a project. Don’t make any correction to the color, contrast, or texture of someone’s complexion that couldn’t have been done by a makeup artist doing a naturalistic job. This is the main rule I live by in the grading suite, and that’s the rationale I use with clients who want to push me to do more. Usually this explanation suffices. Sometimes it doesn’t and the client who’s paying my bills pushes me to go farther anyway, but I’m lucky in that being the exception rather then the rule.
In this 5 minute tutorial Alexis Van Hurkman you can learn how to achieve some skin smoothing in DaVinci Resolve. If you like Alexis’ style you can check out his paid for training on RippleTraining.com.
In this post on Premiumbeat.com you can work through a few related techniques to achieve a couple of different fashion looks in DaVinci Resolve.
French colorist Benoit Cote has graded over 500 commercials on DaVinci Resolve and in these two before and after videos (above), you can see some of his experience at work. You can see a lot more of Benoit’s before and after grading breakdowns on his site here. What’s unique about the shot above is that Benoit shares his powergrade for his ‘linear light’ mode in Resolve. You can directly download it by clicking the node tree image below.

Colour Grading on Pablo Rio
Although this blog often focuses on DaVinci Resolve, by far and away the most accessible professional colour grading system, there are plenty of other professional options out there, including Baselight, Mistika, Scratch, Nucoda and Pablo Rio, to name a few. It’s interesting to note that Light Iron Digital favours the Pablo Rio and Quantel’s Genetic Engineering 2 shared storage, that makes it all tick. You can find out a lot more information on Light Iron’s grading system in this previous post – just head for their 6K Diary video.
You can also check out the new features in Pablo Rio 2.0 in the video below and find out a ton of further information on the Quantel website here. Another really handy thing to check out, whether you’re an editor, colorist, DP, producer, director or pretty much anyone working in film production, is the Digital Fact Book from Quantel. It’s basically an online glossary of technical terms, definitions and common phrases explained in a very easy to understand way. If you’re not sure on something, it’s well worth having a rummage for it on the Digital Fact Book.

In this tutorial, I will walk you through the process of creating a Node.js web application that will print and mail a 4x4 Instagram photo. The web application will allow a user to log in to their Instagram account, randomly choose a recent photo from their feed, and then provide a shipping address to mail the photo.
The app will be written in Node.js and will use the very popular Express.js framework. We will be starting with a blank project, and by the end will have a fully functioning web application.
We will be using two main APIs to build this application. The Instagram API, which will allow us to log in to an Instagram account and select images from a user’s recent feed, and the Lob Print & Mail API, which will handle the printing and shipping of our 4x4 Instagram photos.
NOTE: This whole project is available in a public repository on GitHub. I suggest downloading it first and taking a look at the code before continuing the tutorial.
The Main Pieces
Prerequisites
You will need the following before you can start this tutorial:
A basic understanding of Node.js and JavaScript.
A basic understanding of how JavaScript Promises work. If you haven’t used them before don’t worry, here’s a quick guide.
NPM and Node.js installed.
A Lob API key.
A registered Instagram Developer account.
Instagram Registration
In order to use the Instagram API, you need to first register your application at the developer center. Once you have registered your application, they will provide you with a client_id and a client_secret , which we will need later.
Part of the registration form will ask for a redirect_uri . This is where the user will be redirected after they successfully sign into their Instagram account. For now, set this value to http://localhost:3000/ handleauth , which will point to our local app during development.
Lob Registration
Sign up for a free Lob account by visiting the registration page. Once registered, you can find your Test API Key on the settings page. The Test API Key works the same as the Live, but no mail is actually printed or shipped until you use your Live API Key.
Create Project
If you already have an express.js project setup you can skip the the next section. If not, open up a terminal and let’s get started.
mkdir instagram && cd instagram npm init
When you run npm init it will ask you a bunch of questions; just press enter for all of them except when it asks you for entry point: (index.js) ; set that to app.js .
Install Dependencies
npm i express --save npm i bluebird --save npm i body-parser --save npm i cookie-parser --save npm i instagram-node --save npm i jade --save npm i lob --save
These are all the node modules we will be using to create the Instagram photo printing app.
Create Server
Create a file called app.js file in the root directory of your project.
var express = require('express'); var path = require('path'); var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser'); var bodyParser = require('body-parser'); var instagram = require('./instagram'); var app = express(); /* App Setup */ app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views')); app.set('view engine', 'jade'); app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded( { extended: false })); app.use(cookieParser()); /* Include our Instagram Module */ app.use('/', instagram); app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 3000); var server = app.listen(app.get('port'), function() { console.log('Express server listening on port ' + server.address().port); }); module.exports = app;
Notice we are telling the app to run on port 3000. This matches up with the redirect URL you submitted when registering your Instagram app.
Template Files
Create a folder called views in the root directory of your project, next to the app.js file. This is where we will place the following Jade template files. If you haven’t used Jade before it’s a pretty simple templating engine that comes by default with Express.js. Learn more here.
We are also using Bootstrap to provide basic styling and layout for the application. Check out the Bootstrap website for more information on the CSS classes we are using in the template files.
layout.jade
Create a file called layout.jade with the following code. This is the basic HTML structure for our app.
doctype html html head title Instagram Photo Printer link(rel='stylesheet', href='https://maxcdn. bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3. 3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css') body nav.navbar.navbar-inverse. navbar-static-top div.navbar-header a.navbar-brand(href="/") Instagram Photo Printer div.container block content
index.jade
Create a file called index.jade inside the views folder with the following code. Notice that we are using a template variable called showLogin . If this is true, we are going to show the user a button so that they can log in to their Instagram account. Otherwise, we will show them a random picture from their account and shipping form for their Instagram photo.
Don’t worry too much about this right now. It will make more sense once we start writing code.
extends layout block content if showLogin div.row div.col-md-12.text-center h1 Instagram Photo Printer p Before you can print and mail a photo, you need to authorize your Instagram account. a(href="/authorize-user" class="btn btn-primary") Login to Instagram else div.row div.col-md-6 img(src= image, width="250px") div br a.btn.btn-default(href="/") Random Photo div.col-md-6 h1 Print & Mail Photo form(action="/send-photo", method="post") div(class="form-group col-md-12") label Name input( type="text" class="form-control" name="name" ) div(class="form-group col-md-12") label Address input( type="text" class="form-control" name="address" ) div(class="form-group col-md-4") label City input( type="text" class="form-control" name="city" ) div(class="form-group col-md-4") label State input( type="text" class="form-control" name="state" ) div(class="form-group col-md-4") label Zip input( type="text" class="form-control" name="zip" ) div(class="form-group col-md-12") input(type="hidden", value=image, name="image") button(type="submit", class="btn btn-primary") Mail Photo >
complete.jade
The last template file we will need is complete.jade , which will show a success message and a preview link once the user has successfully filled out the form. If there was an error, it will show that as well. | positive |

But for historical purposes, I wanted to give one last update in order to post the archive. Thank you.[/quote] [b]12/24/2014-Final Update:[/b] Wow, I can't believe it's been nearly 5 years since the original Halo 2 servers were shut down (and over 10 years since Halo 2 came out!). It's amazing how much has changed since then. With the release of Destiny, bungie.net is a completely different entity than it was when this thread was created. We are in a whole new generation of gaming, so it's not surprising to see how different the community is here now. I know some of you have stuck around since before the darkness; this thread is mostly for you guys. This thread was originally meant to be sort of a protest to the discontinuation of Halo 2 XBL matchmaking, but now this is no longer necessary. The Master Chief Collection has given Halo fans what we have been wanting since the servers were shut down. Halo 2 really set the standard for what competitive online gaming should be like, and I'm so glad that the current generation of gamers will be able experience what made the previous generations so great. I wanted to personally thank all of the people who have kept this thread somewhat alive over the years. You guys have proven that Halo is more than just a game. Not many things in this world can create such a deeply shared passion by so many people across the globe, but Halo proved to be one of those things. So many unlikely friendships were formed, so many memories were made, and so much fun was had. Refusing to let Halo 2 die was my way of thanking the community and thanking Bungie for the good times you have given me. The nostalgia I have of the early Halo days will never go away, but the MCC will allow us to relive those memories once again. So, once again, I wanted to thank Bungie and 343 Industries for making this possible. And I wanted to thank the Halo and Bungie community for sharing this passion with me. (If you guys ever want to play some swords and snipes on lockout, add me on XBL: Agent Windex. Hopefully, I'll have an Xbox One sometime next year) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [quote][b]The original thread is posted below. I hope it brings back some good memories and lots of nostalgia. Thanks guys![/b][/quote] As all of you know, the Xbox Live servers were shut down for all Xbox original games on April 14, 2010. A small, dedicated group of Halo 2 players didn't agree with this, and did everything they could to not let the game die. As long as we didn't shut off our Xboxes, or lose connection in any way, we would still be able to play Halo 2 online. At first there were over 500 people that had kept their Xboxes on after the servers were shut down, but that quickly decreased to less than 100. Many players had lagged out, and some players Xboxes actually overheated. In the end, were able to keep Halo 2 alive for nearly 1 month longer than it should have been. You may ask why we did this. Everyone has their own reason, but mostly it was for the love, and memory, of Halo 2. For some, it was to show their disapproval to Microsoft for shutting off Halo 2 so we could have more friends on our friends list. (Which is apparently why they shut down the servers, and that update still hasn't happened!) A lot of us became really good friends. For a while, we had 'T0 Be Continued' live streaming all of our games, until her xbox regrettably froze while playing custom games. Then, 'Mr7ankjump' did a live stream, but he lagged out only 4 hours later. 'Z0mbie Stench' was doing a live stream every day after those 2 lagged out, but sadly she was kicked off because of connection trouble. XXBooker DXX was the final live streamer. I would like to thank everyone who followed our story, all of your support really inspired us to stay on as long as possible. Also, I would like to thank all of the Final Few, you guys are awesome and it was an honor playing with you. Also, I would like to thank [url=http://www.GamesRadar.com/]GamesRadar.com[/url] for giving out F&F beta codes for the final 12. There are no longer any Halo 2 players online.

Our goal is to create the world's fastest extendable, non-transactional time series database for big data (you know, for kids)!
Log file indexing is our initial focus. For example append only ASCII files produced by libraries like Log4J, or containing FIX messages or JSON objects.
Occursions was built by a small team sick of creating hacks to remotely copy and/or grep through tons of large log files. We use it to index around a terabyte of new log data per day. You can use it too. Who doesn't have `just too many' log files?
Occursions asynchronously tails log files and indexes the individual lines in each log file as each line is written to disk so you don't even have to wait for a second after an event happens to search for it.
Occursions uses custom disk backed data structures to create and search its indexes so it is very efficient at using CPU, memory and disk.
You can extend Occursions with shared libraries to support your own file formats, even binary file formats! | positive |
'You've got the touch!'
Part of me wishes that a game called Crossing Souls would be an Animal Crossing/Dark Souls crossover, but I am still pretty pleased with how Crossing Souls actually looks anyway. Will we ever get sick of the totally tubular pink and teal palette resurgence? I hope not.
It's a little bit of a bummer that only the cutscenes are delivered in 1980s cartoon style, and the gameplay goes to 2D pixel art, but it still looks cool. Of course, as a rad-looking indie game, Devolver Digital was poised to publish it, but not without it hitting the crowdfunding circuit with its Kickstarter campaign. It has a baseline goal of $45,000, and something tells me it will not have too much trouble hitting that number.

Chef Johannes Thenerl prepares a vegan burger using a patty made of wild garlic at vegan restaurant L'Herbivore in Berlin (AFP Photo/John Macdougall)
Berlin (AFP) - Long the European capital of techno-driven nightlife, fastidious hipsterdom and low-cost party weekends, Berlin is adding another string to its bow as a vegan haven.
Animal product-free versions of almost any business can be found in Germany's largest city, from butchers' shops to singles' nights.
But getting lost in the eyes of a romantic prospect over grilled tofu is far from all that's on offer for the city's 80,000 vegans -- around 10 percent of the nationwide figure, vegetarian association Vebu estimates.
"Germany and especially Berlin are at the forefront" of a vegan "movement" that's advancing all over Europe, Vebu vice-president Sebastian Joy told AFP.
That's obvious from the roughly 60 vegan restaurants on offer in the German capital counted by specialist website Happy Cow -- far outstripping the 24 in Paris and 40 in London, both cities more than twice the size of Berlin.
That figure has ballooned since 2008, when there were just three completely animal-free restaurants according to Vebu.
-'Vegans attract vegans'-
Berlin is "younger, more hyped, and more alternative than Munich, Paris or London," explained Joy.
"There's a snowball effect: vegans attract vegans and more and more people come."
On top of the roughly 10 new eateries opening each year, a whole lifestyle is falling into place.
Schivelbeiner Strasse in the Prenzlauer Berg neighbourhood in northeast Berlin, popular with startup workers and young parents, has become a "Vegan Avenue".
Initiates can stroll from supermarket to cafe to clothes- and shoe-shops and carry their purchases home with vegan consciences clear.
The food shelves without cheese, yoghurt or honey and clothing racks without wool or leather are a far cry from the luxurious treats at KaDeWe -- the German answer to Harrods or Galeries Lafayette.
Today in 2016, growth in what's on offer, from soy ice-cream to Europe's first 100 percent-vegan pizzeria, means that "Berlin is almost comparable to New York" in terms of options for vegans, said yoga teacher and long-time adept of the lifestyle Moritz Ulrich.
- Enter the 'flexitarians' -
But the sudden aura of cool around veganism has uprooted the movement from its woollen-socks-with-sandals origins.
In early 2016, police were called to break up a vegan restaurant opening after hundreds of people showed up to the event, swarming over the pavement and even blocking traffic.
The new fast-food joint had become the evening's hot ticket on Facebook among fans of the fashion-blogger owners.
"Being vegan is no longer an abstemious practise for a few fundamentalist animal-lovers, but part of hedonistic event culture," sniffed Munich broadsheet Sueddeutsche Zeitung.
The Facebook crowds fit into a growing, fluid category of "flexitarians", who may see part-time veganism as a way to eat more healthily or care a little more for the environment.
"People are asking more and more questions about where the food on their plate comes from," said Johannes Theuerl, the owner of a vegan butcher's shop.
On offer at his counter are "meatballs" and slices of roast seitan, a food based on wheat proteins.
"Beyond reducing meat consumption, we see that people also want to eat seasonal and regional produce," Theuerl went on.
Proponents say that traditional vegans' upsets about such meat substitutes are past their sell-by date.
"I've had enough of the cliche about the activist who expects others to adopt the same lifestyle," heartthrob vegan celebrity chef Attila Hildmann told Deutschlandradiokultur, complaining of an "ideological wall" around veganism.
Some people just insist that "meat is a crime, without proposing an alternative," he went on.
But with veganism on the radar of Berlin's entrepreneurs, foodies, and fad-seeking young followers of fashion, more alternatives are emerging all the time.
Nowadays, "people who give up meat aren't doing it because they don't like it," said Vebu's Joy, who picks a distinctly 21st-Century analogy to drive his argument home.
"You can drive an electric car because you see the damage done by diesel without wanting to switch to a bike." | positive |

What I have been struggling to say, why I want to scream at people to read “Reform Our Study,” here is how I can put it. Let’s start here: we are literally, literally at war. There are fascists who want to kill us, who know many of our names and faces. Even if they don’t, they would love to kill someone they learned is a communist, or an anarchist, and they don’t care how good an organizer you are—they would like to see you bleeding out from a gunshot. But there is an attitude that many self-identified leftists go around with in their daily practice, in the attitudes that they take as they move through the world, that is basically not sober—it is like people are very drunk, or like children, wandering through traffic. The middle class is like this—it is frivolous and unserious and lighter-than-air in the same way that drunk people are. And for almost all of us, we live in situations where people are not actively trying to kill us. What I mean is, we are not guerrillas whose whole life concretely revolves around combat to the death. And so, Marxism teaches us that because we are living in this type of environment—surrounded by people who are modeling this lack of sobriety for us and being unavoidably seduced into indulging in some of the distractions and comforts that surround us—we are actively having our consciousness influenced to live in a less and less sober way, to pay less and less attention to the deadly danger that we are in.
Nothing is stationary in this universe. It is moving backward or moving forward. Every few days I read a short set of reminders I wrote for myself to keep this in the forefront of my mind, because I know as a Marxist that my mind is being influenced to forget this danger. This is what Mao is talking about when he says that you have to regularly, indefinitely, sweep a room to keep it clean, but a comrade pointed out to me that an even better metaphor is working out regularly. You will not stay mentally where you need to be in a genuine way, in an actual way, unless you are regularly, repeatedly, habitually bringing the truths of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism to your mind. You are going to die one day, and it could be any day, and that should never be far from your mind. You could get killed any day—so how do you want to live? Because forgetting this does not change whether you’re going to die, or when—all it means is you have the same amount of time to live, but you’re being less conscious with how you spend it.
This is what I have been dying to say to people when I try to tell them that they are not yet Maoists. You are not a Maoist if you have simply read the tenets once and agreed with them, never taking them up again. If you were a Marxist, in fact, you would grasp that this is true. Your mind is not a book, it is so much more like a muscle. It does not qualitatively change, it does not become a tool for applying Marxism simply from reading Marxist works once. You have to live with the ideas of Marxism, breathe with them, learn them more and more truly through practice—bring them to every part of your life, repeatedly, intentionally, indefinitely. You can’t let one single part of your life go free of the ruthless criticism that Marxism will bring to it. This is very close to the essence of what makes Marxism Marxism—how you practice thinking is what makes you a Marxist or not. And this criticism applies just as much to first-day Maoists who treat MLM like an identity as it does to academic-ass revisionists who have read Lenin’s complete works, and Althusser and Lacan. They imagine that being a Marxist is treating their brains like a sheet of paper that they can write the titles of the books they’ve read on it, and that makes them a Marxist-Leninist. No, your brain is a muscle, you are either living and breathing with MLM, or you are not a Maoist. In this sense, I am barely a Maoist if I have ever been one yet. But if someone doesn’t understand that this is how it works, they have no chance of becoming a Maoist at all. And they have no chance whatsoever of being a revolutionary, which means providing leadership, which can only come from thinking through problems with a mind that has made Marxism not just a stamp in your passport, but the air you breathe.

As evidenced by the Facebook Revolutions and ensuing Middle East turmoil, the Internet is a powerful tool and one capable of change. Of course, its eliminating citizen use of the Web under oppressive regimes has also yielded consequences. Perhaps inspired by these effects, the UN has declared the Internet a human right. A recent report titled “Report of the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression” declares that Internet access falls under freedom of expression.
“The unique and transformative nature of the Internet not only [enables] individuals to exercise their right to freedom of opinion and expression, but also a range of other human rights, and to promote the progress of society as a whole.” Special rapporteur Frank La Rue also acknowledges that the Web has become too important a tool to asserting other human rights for people to be denied its use. “Given that the Internet has become an indispensable tool for realizing a range of human rights, combating inequality, and accelerating development and human progress, ensuring universal access to the Internet should be a priority for all states.”
While the report may have especially poignant significance for Middle Eastern nations, it applies internationally. “Each state should thus develop a concrete and effective policy to make the Internet widely available, accessible, and affordable to all segments of population.” The US National Telecommunications and Information Association (NCIA) are collaborating with the FCC to analyze the state of broadband availability in the country. Recent findings revealed that a five to 10 percent of American cannot access Internet speeds that allow basic Web functions. So if you think this is merely a third-world problem or issue with oppressive governments, you’d be wrong.
Of course, these events are why such a policy has become relevant: “The recent wave of demonstrations in countries across the Middle East and North African region has shown thekey role that the Internet can play in mobilizing the population to call for justice, equality,accountability and better respect for human rights. As such, facilitating access to theInternet for all individuals, with as little restriction to online content as possible, should be apriority for all States.”
But is anything going to come out of this report? Last year, a BBC World Service study found that four out of five adults thought Internet access was a fundamental right, and participants from China, Mexico, Nigeria, Brazil, and South Korea were just among some of the countries that majorly agreed with this. Which means that despite these largely held beliefs, opponents are still denying people this alleged right. | positive |

Recently by William L. Anderson: The Obama Administration's Vicious Attack on ReadeSeligmann
As many readers know, I devote a large portion of my time — and my life — to advocating for people who are charged with "crimes" they never committed, and often "crime" that never even occurred. Lew Rockwell graciously permitted me to use this page to advocate for the falsely-accused Duke lacrosse players charged with raping a stripper five years ago.
In retrospect, Lew took a huge risk in permitting me to fire broadside after broadside at the corrupt prosecutor, Michael Nifong, who brought the charges and kept the case going. Lew also permitted me to take a hard look at the politicized atmosphere at Duke University, which also drove the false charges and exposed "elite" higher education in a way that demonstrated just how fraudulent American colleges and universities can be.
The charges themselves were transparently false, and it was stunning to see how the "professionals" in both Durham, North Carolina (where the event happened), and in the news media tried to spin established details and time into something that logically was impossible. Yet, many people claimed that the very fact that the "professionals" were claiming that the three lacrosse players had committed the crimes for which they were charged was "proof" that everything alleged was true.
However, in the end it was the "professionals" who not only were lying, but also were acting under outright delusion, and their delusion was supported by other "professionals." On the outside, people with no connection to the justice system, such as K.C. Johnson, a history professor at Brooklyn College, were the people who were most effective at tearing apart Nifong's case. (Johnson created the popular Durham-in-Wonderland blog from which he logically dissected the events as they occurred.
If one steps back, one can see a curious contrast. On the one hand, the "professionals," people who were prosecutors, lawyers, judges, law professors, and professional advocates for women were (for a long time) united in their chorus of support for Nifong's case. On the other hand, people from other occupations, students, and just observers knew quickly that the charges were fraudulent and that Nifong and his "victim," Crystal Gail Mangum, were lying. (Some lawyers later turned against Nifong and the attorneys representing the three accused young men from the start were convinced of their innocence.)
Should one step back even further, one can see a pattern emerging, one that not only is disturbing but also one that has its roots in the Progressive Movement of more than a century ago, when American intellectuals, businessmen, and politicians joined to overthrow a social order that was responsible for transforming American society from a backwoods, agrarian country into an industrial powerhouse. While "Progressives" were and are championed by the intellectual elite and media pundits as "reformers" who are trying (against those backward capitalists) to make society better, in reality they undermined human liberty in order to impose an order that could move in no direction but toward tyranny.
One of the things "Progressives" did was to take many occupations and "professionalize" them. They introduced occupational licensing and they also were able to formalize and organize the "justice" apparatus into a mechanism in which "professionals" would transform the process of investigating crimes and seeking judgment and punishment for perpetrators. Instead of having a system that drew heavily upon community participation, "Progressives" reasoned that the professional police, prosecutors, and "expert" witnesses would not be bound by emotion but would act according to their pure training and knowledge.
The system we have today is one in which the "professionals" run everything, from the police investigators to the judges and prison administrators, and it simply is awful. Last year, when I covered the Tonya Craft trial and aftermath in my blog, it really was a battle between the "professionals" and people advocating for the truth.
For example, the prosecutors and the judge worked in tandem in order to try to rig a guilty verdict (the "unprofessional" jurors refused to go along with the scam and acquitted her), a police officer fabricated a document in order to fill holes, and "professional" child "advocates" insisted that the stories being told about Craft's alleged child molesting were true. The jurors saw through the whole thing and had concluded even before the prosecution rested that the whole thing was bogus.
Wrongful accusations and convictions often occur because the "professionals" are able to convince jurors that the impossible really has to be true — because the "professionals" say it is true. Because "Progressivism" has been institutionalized to a point where most people cannot imagine a society without its influences, people are easily swayed by foolish arguments made by "professionals" even when logic and reasoning tell them otherwise.
As I said at the beginning, I am passionate about advocating for those who are wrongly charged and those who are wrongly convicted. I can think of no worse indictment upon a society than to say it is one in which "justice" is turned upside down and perverted, and as I see it, one of the main reasons that "justice" in America is a crapshoot is the legacy of "Progressivism."
False Justice: Eight M... Jim Petro, Nancy Petro Best Price: $5.00 Buy New $19.80 (as of 08:25 EST - Details)
A recent book by a former Ohio attorney general, Jim Petro, goes into detail about wrongful convictions, and his verdict on American "justice" is not good. False Justice: Eight Myths that Convict the Innocent lays out reasons why Petro believes that tens of thousands of Americans are in prison, wrongfully convicted.
Petro lays out what he says are the myths about the system, and they are:
Myth 1: Everyone in prison claims innocence.
Myth 2: Our system almost never convicts an innocent person.
Myth 3: Only the guilty confess.
Myth 4: Wrongful conviction is the result of innocent human error.
Myth 5: An eyewitness is the best testimony.
Myth 6: Conviction errors get corrected on appeal.
Myth 7: It dishonors a victim to question a conviction.
Myth 8: If the justice system has problems, the pros will fix them.
Steve Weinberg's review of the book goes into more detail about each of these myths, but he wrongly lays the problem at the feet of political conservatives — even though conservatives have played an important role in this sorry affair. Indeed, every one of these myths exists because the "pros" have helped to create them.
As I read through Weinberg's review, I realize that it is the "professionals," from police to the appellate judges, which have institutionalized injustice to a point where it has become an integral part of the system. Indeed, the very fact that they can do these things with impunity, knowing they almost never will be disciplined at any level for wrongdoing, only ensures that injustices will increase.
One of the things that "Progressives" believed was that "public servants" always (or at least mostly) would act "in the public interest" and not seek self-rewards. We do see the political classes in this country, along with other "Progressives" such as college faculty members and media figures lay this "public interest" mantle upon themselves, declaring that they are "public servants" who are preserving all that is good in society.
The truth is much different. Like all other human beings, "public servants" are self-interested and all-too-often, the "public interest" fervor with which they supposedly operate is transformed into careerism and self-aggrandizement that serves as what Murray N. Rothbard called "psychic profit" for their actions. Because this problem is deeply institutionalized in American society, it almost is impossible to uproot it, which means in the "justice" system that exonerating the innocent is almost impossible.
For example, even though it was obvious that the charges against Tonya Craft were fabricated, she had to spend upwards of a million dollars in order to defend herself, and even then her money ran out. The state agents bringing the case, however, were financed by tax dollars and did not have to worry about spending a penny of their own funds. The Duke defendants spend even more than a million dollars apiece, even though the charges were transparently false from the beginning. From the "professional" medical personnel that helped get the ball rolling in the Craft and Duke cases to the "professional" child counselors and police and prosecutors, we see that through each step, the "professionals" demonstrated themselves to be incapable of doing real research and investigations and were nothing more than cogs in an accusation machine.
This financial disconnect alone is a huge reason that there are wrongful convictions, and the fact that prosecutors, police, and judges are protected from being charged with wrongdoing no matter how dishonest or outrageous their misconduct provides only more incentive for the "professionals" to steamroll the innocent into prison and to the death chambers. Convictions are politically popular, so even when a prosecutor gets a wrongful conviction or wrongly brings charges, there generally is no price for him or her to pay.
In establishing the various institutions that now permeate our society today, "Progressives" believe that they were providing the nation with a system in which competent "professionals" would guide and order our lives. Instead, they created a system in which "professionals" can be petty dictators, telling others what to do, destroying lives in the process, and exacting tribute from their victims.
Wrongful convictions existed before the Progressive Era, but the wrongness was not institutionalized the way it is now. This state of affairs does not exist because people make genuine errors in judgment or identification, but rather because it is in the interest of those who are employed by this system to put innocent people on trial, falsely accuse them, and throw them into prison.
Furthermore, the "professionals" in the system tend to watch out for each other. The courts have given prosecutors such immunity that it has become clear that even when they engage in criminal behavior, as was the case that was at the center of the U.S. Supreme Court's outrageous Connick v. Thompson decision, the authorities have their backs.
As I noted before, the Progressive Era did not create injustice, but it managed to institutionalize the processes through which injustices occur. We now are at the mercy of "professionals" who are worse than the worst of the lynch mobs and "experts" who are worse than amateurs when it comes to evaluating evidence. All that is left is raw state power, and the "Progressives" made sure that we would forever be subject to that.

The Best of William L. Anderson | positive |
Lone Survivor for the PC/Mac is an indie game through and through. A survival horror game transplanted into two dimensions, graphics compressed down into 160 x 90 resolution, with psychological themes strewn throughout, it’s like nothing I’ve ever played before. It keeps its answers an arm’s length away, but somehow manages not to feel intentionally vague. It’s definitely one man’s labor of love, but the question remains: is it any good?
Lone Survivor plays a bit like I would imagine a classic Silent Hill or Resident Evil game would if it was flattened onto a 2D plane. The player character, known only as YOU, is stuck in an apartment of horrors looking for a way out. The exploration is a pleasure with some light puzzling-solving thrown in. You’re constantly moving from one interesting area to the next, with plenty of objects to examine and hear about. There is one minor gripe with the 2D perspective, though. The map is an overhead map of a 3D space, meaning that sometimes when you move to the left or right on the screen, you move north or south on the map. It’s not a big deal, but it’s a bit disorienting and leads to opening the map a little more than I wanted to.
When approached with opposition, you are left with two choices: fight or flee. Instincts are both your friend and your foe. The cramped area-of-sight the transition to 2D brings about drastically cuts down on the amount of time you have to react, increasing the importance of good instincts. Handgun fire can draw monsters from all around, making a bad situation worse if you aren’t careful. Like any good survival horror game, you are much weaker than the enemies surrounding you, leaving a constant sense of dread of what could be around any corner.
The chunky pixel graphics give the game a unique style, with some scenes practically drenched in darkness. While you have the luxury of a flashlight, batteries are a scarcity. Light is a necessity, not only for vision’s sake, but because some objects in the environment can only be interacted with if properly illuminated. Monsters can spot you from much farther away when your flashlight is on, though, giving you a compelling reason to slink around in the darkness. In your travels, you will also find bits of rotten meat, which the monsters are drawn to. Several areas have alcoves to hide in, allowing you to sidle past distracted monsters. This leaves you an interesting choice. Do you risk running out of ammo to shoot the monster, who will die permanently? Or do you sneak past, knowing you’ll have to do this each time you want to access this area?
These moment-to-moment choices seem important at the time since they determine your survival, but there are massive long-term ramifications, as well. Gradually, as you kill, you may not like what you see in the mirror anymore. Pills are scattered about the environment that, when taken before bed, reward you with specific supplies, based on pill color, when you wake up. These pills also grant you dreams in which you’ll interact with some of the game’s most original characters. Whether you become addicted to the supplies or the company, you’ll have to deal with the repercussions. The best thing about these changes are that they’re not exclusively negative. Each pill-induced dream introduces dialogue from the corresponding character who can perhaps help clarify some of the events surrounding you. These instances lend to one of the game’s greatest strengths: its ambiguity. The game itself never makes it clear what the exact effects of your actions are going to be, meaning you worry much more about the immediate situation than the far-reaching one. This makes decision making much more interesting than the usual gaming dichotomy of “good” choices and “bad” choices. The choices here are just that: choices. You have to deal with the consequences, be they good or bad.
Just as important to the experience is the permanence of everything you’ve done. Your character needs to eat and sleep throughout his journey, leading to a need of scrounging every corner for something edible. As long as you ration smartly, food is not too much of a rarity. Sleeping is what’s really important. Not only do you have to sleep to keep your character alive and sane, but it’s the only way to save your game progress. It’s also worth mentioning that Lone Survivor has only one save file. This means that once you’ve slept, unless you’re willing to start over from the beginning, you have to live with all of the decisions made before that point. For example: the only way to experience dreams is to take a pill and go to bed. If you’re trying not to become addicted, but take that one last pill that tips you over the edge, there is no way of knowing until you go to sleep. By then, that choice has been made. There is no reloading your previous save. You will always remain addicted until you start a new game. Dark Souls was lauded for what its permanence did to its atmosphere and this game executes it just as well. To cement just how many choices you’ve made over the course of the game, you’re rewarded with a daunting stats screen at the end along with a grade and a little bit of information about the ending you got. It skates a fine line between telling you the contributing factors while still remaining mysterious about how to improve. Even the worse endings are important to see, though. Different interactions with different characters can reveal things about them and their surrounding world, answering different questions than other endings would. This results in a satisfying conclusion based on how you played, even if you did only manage to get the “worst” ending.
[+Unique] [+Interesting Choices] [+Varied Endings] [*Not For Everyone] [-Disorienting Map]
Lone Survivor is haunting. Just walking down its dank corridors can lead to a feeling of unease that rivals even the scariest of games. You’re never going to be terrified by it, but that’s not its goal. It wants you to be anxious, disturbed. It pulls these off with ease, thanks to its restrictive view, blurry graphics, and chilling sound design. The static-y screams the monsters cry put me on full alert every time and the music is atmospheric, sometimes beautiful. The characters animate fantastically, the lighting provides all the right ambiance, and the monsters react in remarkably satisfying ways when you shoot them. In fact, the only qualm I have about the presentation at all is that most of the scenes are unskippable. It was only a problem in a few of the game’s more difficult spots, but it did get a bit frustrating to start back in the apartment , forced to watch scenes I had already seen every time I died. Beyond that niggling complaint, the game is incredibly polished. The attention to detail goes right down to the writing, which is sometimes dramatic, sometimes silly, but always well-executed. The bits of humor flaked throughout give the game a tone all its own. It’s obvious from the get-go that this game is a labor of love from its creator, Jasper Byrne.
[+Great Writing] [+Impressive Animation] [+Excellent Sound Design] [+Creator’s Passion Is Obvious] [-Unskippable Scenes]
For $10, you get a download of the game and DRM-free updates for the life of it. There’s a whole lot of content here for $10. My original playthrough clocked in at almost four hours, but that didn’t count all the time I spent dying. I would say that it probably came closer to six hours in reality. This was just one playthrough, though. While each subsequent playthrough gets shorter and shorter, there are seemingly quite a few endings and the creator has even expressed the idea of adding more endings through updates in the future. I’ve always felt a certain stigma when paying for games that opened up in a Flash Player window, but this game and The Binding of Isaac have ensured that I never feel that again. A quality game is a quality game, regardless of its architecture.
[+Good Price Point] [+Great Replay Value] [+DRM-Free Updates]
If you’ve been lamenting the changes that Capcom and Konami have been making to their respective franchises, you need to check out Lone Survivor. It’s survival horror in the classic vein with enough twists to remain new and exciting. The moment-to-moment decision making and psychological twists and turns are more than enough to keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time you’re playing it. As soon as the game becomes publicly available, I’ll be purchasing a copy. It’s a truly unique game that doesn’t skate by on its visual style or its weirdness. It delivers on every level. Even if you aren’t a fan of survival horror, a demo will be available soon and I highly recommend everyone at least try it out when the game releases on March 27. The well-done Maniac Mansion reference towards the beginning of the game didn’t hurt my chances of liking it, either.

Image copyright Reuters Image caption Pope Francis wants to reform Vatican finances
The Vatican has ordered the first ever external audit of its accounts as part of Pope Francis' efforts to reform the Roman Catholic Church.
The auditor, accounting giant PricewaterhouseCoopers, will start work immediately, a papal spokesman said.
Pope Francis has promised to make the Vatican's finances more transparent after a series of scandals.
Last year he created a new ministry to oversee papal finances, headed by Cardinal George Pell.
Cardinal Pell later said he had discovered millions of euros "tucked away".
While he did not say any wrongdoing had occurred, he added Vatican departments long had "an almost free hand" with their finances.
Turning to an external auditor puts the Vatican more in line with international standards.
PwC will review the Vatican's consolidated financial statements, spokesman Federico Lombardi said, which includes assets, income and expenses.
Author Gianluigi Nuzzi obtained secret recordings of Pope Francis this year suggesting the Pontiff had grown exasperated at vested interests in the Vatican.
"If we don't know how to look after money, which you can see, how can we look after the souls of the faithful, which you can't see?" he told clerics in 2013, the recordings said. | positive |
Thank you for making us a better company.
Veterans and military spouses play a vital role in strengthening our communities—and our company—through leadership, service and civic engagement. Veterans are more likely to vote, volunteer, give to charity and contact public officials compared to their nonmilitary counterparts.
That’s why, since 2013, we’ve hired over 21,000 veterans and military spouses, and we’re committed to hiring 25,000 by 2025.
Our commitment extends beyond hiring. We’re offering expanded benefits, including education opportunities. We have also opened 52 Starbucks Military Family Stores across the U.S., and plan to dedicate 80 more by 2022. These are places where veterans and military families can work, connect and find transition guidance and information.
Through our partnerships, our goal is to be the leading corporate advocate and voice for transitioning veterans, military spouses and military families. | positive |
Is National Public Radio’s description of an Obama urban directive as something that merely “links [government] funding to desegregation” fake news?
Well, it’s so slanted that if you had no prior knowledge of the program, and heard NPR’s depiction of it, you would just say to yourself, “Sounds good to me.”
But to many conservatives, including the man that President Donald Trump has nominated to be the new secretary of housing and urban development, Ben Carson, the Orwellian “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing” is a tortured interpretation of the Fair Housing Act.
To them, coercing suburbs to build high-density, low-income housing in order to reflect the national racial makeup—even when there isn’t a hint of discrimination—is an outrageous attempt to pursue the liberal dream of closing down the suburbs by changing their nature.
To Stanley Kurtz, writing in National Review, “the regulation amounts to back-door annexation, a way of turning America’s suburbs into tributaries of nearby cities.”
Carson, writing in The Washington Times, said the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing directive reminded him of the “failed socialist experiments of the 1980s.” That view was not reflected in NPR reporter Pam Fessler’s unflattering piece on Carson following his nomination. The piece referred positively to the housing program as “stepped up enforcement of the 1968 Fair Housing Act, which is intended to reduce segregation.”
Like other examples of NPR’s treatment of Cabinet appointments and other domestic and international news, Fessler’s report echoed almost exclusively the worldview of the left.
This is a characteristic that is shared to some degree by the Public Broadcasting System, NPR’s television equivalent.
And this attribute will become a problem for the taxpayer-funded Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which oversees both NPR and PBS, as the incoming Trump administration looks to make cuts in the budget—as it should.
To be sure, NPR and PBS will have the odd National Review editorial writer or conservative scholar on as a guest commentator once in a while. But that is not the issue.
The issue is that a conservative philosophy and outlook doesn’t inform the way the news is written and presented the way, say, Mother Jones seems to do.
We saw what happens when a journalist “gets” both sides. Fox News’ Chris Wallace received bipartisan praise for the way he moderated the last presidential debate in October.
As The Wall Street Journal put it at the time, there was a reason he was more effective than his preceding moderators:
He asked questions that would never have even occurred to the other moderators. Mr. Wallace’s personal politics are a mystery to us, but his position as an anchor at Fox News … means he is exposed to political points of view that are alien at most other media outlets.
NPR has done nothing to counter its persistent liberal bias, despite years of complaints from conservatives—including us—that its patent lack of diversity of thought was unfair and misguided for a tax-funded entity.
Several changes at the top during the past few years have had no apparent impact.
The partially taxpayer-funded public broadcaster appeared to be trying to turn a new leaf in 2011 when it brought in Gary Knell as CEO “to calm the waters,” following the ouster of Vivian Schiller. Charges of liberal bias under Schiller had revived conservative calls to defund NPR.
Knell lasted only 20 months, however, and several changes later, NPR in 2014 doubled down on its worldview. It named as its CEO Jarl Mohn, a former senior official with the American Civil Liberties Union who has given at least $217,000 mostly to “Democratic candidates and political committees” by NPR’s own admission.
NPR’s only response to conservative complaints about its liberal viewpoint is to deny that this is the case. It’s the “Who you gonna believe, us or your lying ears?” defense.
So, no wonder the reporting on the nominees was off. Carson wasn’t the exception. Here are several others:
The piece on Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt’s nomination as head of the Environmental Protection Agency, for example, lacked any kind of perspective on the harm that the agency’s aggressive regulatory zeal has caused to companies large and small. Also missing was how the EPA shakes down companies and forces them either to make contributions to environmental groups or face huge fines.
Such details may have put into context the scathing, melodramatic attack on Pruitt by the Sierra Club, one of the groups that may now lose both influence and funds, which reporter Nell Greenfieldboyce included in her piece. The “conservative balance” lacked any of these details, but actually offered another negative: George Will’s observation that Pruitt had been “one of the Obama administration’s most tenacious tormentors.”
Jessica Taylor’s report on the choice of fast-food restaurant CEO Andrew Puzder as secretary of labor made note of his opposition to raising the minimum wage. The piece was remarkably neutral in that it did not reflect any assumption as to whether this policy is good or bad for employees making minimum wage.
Not so for the analysis that Jeremy Hobson (host of NPR’s “Hear and Now”) conducted with Business Insider’s Kate Taylor. There, the worries of “labor groups” about Puzder’s “commitments to labor rights” were prominent.
“Anybody pushing for passage of laws that protect labor rights are going to have a bit of an uphill struggle,” Taylor concluded. There was no conservative counterweight.
Nor is NPR’s liberal slant limited to only Trump’s Cabinet appointments.
Scott Simon’s commentary on Cuban dictator Fidel Castro upon his death was actually titled, “Easy to See Why Some Loved Fidel Castro’s Cuba, Many More Fled.”
Right up front there was a trope about how “American mobsters used to run this place.” But actually, Cuba was a thriving economy when Castro took over in 1958, one that compared favorably with Mediterranean Europe or Southern U.S. states. But you didn’t hear that from Simon.
It shouldn’t surprise that the views held by the left form the background of many stories, as NPR either directly quotes liberal outlets as reference points or uses language that is undistinguishable.
On the very controversial public debate over whether men should be able to use women’s bathrooms if they identify as women, NPR’s Ethics Handbook uses as a reference point the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association’s guidelines in recommending that the debate be cast as “whether transgender people should be allowed to use public bathrooms ‘based on their gender identities or, instead, what’s stated on their birth certificates.’”
Many Americans—and not just conservatives—however, take issue with the notion that “a man can be trapped in a woman’s body” or vice-versa. Sex to them is a matter of objective biology, not a subjective social construct.
As the Washington Examiner put it before the end of the year, “Not everyone heeds the command to pretend that Caitlyn Jenner is a woman.”
These are views held by millions of taxpayers. By choosing only one side, NPR’s reporting can be as skewed as anything found on MSNBC—or conservative talk radio for that matter.
But because it is delivered in mellifluous and serene tones, a pitch which NPR staffers refer to with self-congratulation as “Minnesota Nice,” and because it has the stamp of the government’s endorsement, the reporting is considered objective and reflective.
The consumer, therefore, is likely not adding an extra layer of caution—the caveat emptor factor that one adds with Rachel Maddow or Sean Hannity.
To the question asked at the start of this piece: No, NPR’s description of “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing” wasn’t fake news. But it wasn’t the whole news, either.
And listeners have a right to know they must use a prism, just as taxpayers have a right not to fund a one-sided news outlet.
The 2017 federal appropriations for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting were $445 million. PBS gets about $300 million of that.
Defenders say that in the age of a $19 trillion debt, this is a “rounding error.” Well, if it’s so small, then maybe cutting won’t hurt as much, and the money can be used elsewhere, or returned to taxpayers.
NPR will survive without government funding. It has a good membership model. It also offers a good product, as does PBS.
But the new conservative administration and congressional majority coming in have a responsibility to the conservative base not to continue to fund a “public broadcaster” that leaves half the nation feeling ignored.
If it doesn’t, the new governing majority had better get used to seeing its policies traduced on a regular basis by NPR, the way the new Cabinet’s positions clearly have been.

LONDON, June 11 (Reuters) - Prime Minister Theresa May's office said on Sunday there had been no change to plans for U.S. President Donald Trump's to come to Britain on a state visit, after the Guardian newspaper reported the trip had been postponed.
The paper, citing an unnamed adviser at May's Downing Street office who was in the room at the time, reported Trump had told May by telephone in recent weeks that he did not want to come if there were likely to be large-scale protests.
"We aren't going to comment on speculation about the contents of private phone conversations," a spokeswoman for May's office said. "The queen extended an invitation to President Trump to visit the UK and there is no change to those plans."

The White House had no immediate comment on the report.
No date has been set for the visit, which was agreed during May's visit to Washington in January, but British media had reported it was planned for October.
Trump has come under fire in Britain this month for his public criticism of London Mayor Sadiq Khan's response to an attack by Islamist militants in London, in which eight people were killed. May found herself forced to defend Khan, who is from the opposition Labour party.
At that time, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said there was no reason to cancel the visit, while White House spokesman Sean Spicer said that Trump intended to go and that "he appreciates Her Majesty's gracious invitation."

The American public is currently focused like a laser on the nation's economic struggles, to the exclusion of all else. That's perfectly understandable; livelihoods are at stake, and the situation is grim. But behind this economic crisis lurks the continued threat posed by global climate change. Eight years of delay has made the situation urgent, and while public opinion clearly indicates that economic recovery should come first, any opportunity to address both problems at once -- to both support the economy while reducing emissions growth -- must be seized.
But as stimulus legislation has progressed through the Congress it has become increasingly clear that the environmental failures in the bill are also economic failures. In making the stimulus dirtier, we're also making it worse. Wrangling over the legislation has produced a bevy of changes that have irked progressives. House leaders bowed to Republican pressure in dropping funding for family planning and adding in tax cuts, only to have the GOP unanimously oppose the final product. But in the Senate, where the legislation has grown to over $900 billion in total, the changes have been most upsetting, particularly where transportation priorities are concerned.
The initial breakdown of transportation funds in the Senate version of the bill was unhelpfully unbalanced, allotting $27 billion to highways compared to $8.4 billion for transit and $3.1 billion for rail. In part, this pro-road tilt was unavoidable. The automobile-oriented nature of our current transportation network means that there are more shovel-ready highway projects available than transit projects.
But subsequent amendments have defied reason. Attempting to address calls for greater infrastructure spending, Sens. Patty Murray and Dianne Feinstein sought to add $40 billion to the plan, divided between highways, transit, and other projects, but the amendment fell two votes shy of passage. Subsequent activity has been exclusively highway oriented. Sen. Barbara Boxer has inexplicably partnered with climate-change denier James Inhofe to prepare an amendment increasing highway funding by $50 billion. And Missouri's Kit Bond is seeking to redirect $2 billion in money for high-speed rail and $5.5 billion from a pool potentially available for transit (as well as highways) to highways alone.
This is a setback for green interests. Capital spending on highways above and beyond the initial $27 billion is unlikely to go to projects that can quickly be brought on line, which will limit its effectiveness as stimulus. We might be able to tolerate this if such spending advanced our long-term goals, but this balance of funding clearly does not. Spending to repair existing road infrastructure should be balanced with investments in greener transit, rail, and bus systems if we're to efficiently reduce fossil-fuel consumption and carbon emissions.
Meanwhile, the Senate has agreed to plug in $11.5 billion in tax incentives for automobile purchases. Democratic Sen. Barbara Mikulski defended the measure by saying, "Everyone wants to save auto manufacturers, but no matter how much government aid we give to the Big Three automakers, they can't survive if consumers don't start buying cars," which may be the most offensive statement -- politically, economically, and logically -- to emerge from the Congress in some time.
The attempt to support automobile purchases is regressive -- if you're comfortable enough to buy a new car in these economic times, you probably aren't among the most in need of scarce government assistance. It will also fare poorly as stimulus. It's unclear how many sales might be generated by the plan or whether the number will be large enough to increase production or will merely serve to draw down the massive automobile inventory overhang already sitting on lots. We do know that the wealthy are less likely to spend any government money they receive. This measure will mean extra cash in the pocket of new car buyers, which might have gone to food stamps or unemployment benefits.
And of course, legislators failed to take the minimum green step we might have expected of them -- limiting the assistance to fuel-efficient automobiles. A "cash for clunkers" provision might have at least ensured that the new cars replaced old, highly inefficient ones, but even that well-supported idea was omitted.
Perhaps worst of all, the Senate, like the House, declined to specifically direct funding toward operating costs for transit systems. While capital spending to repair and enlarge transit systems is absolutely necessary to meet long-term environmental (and economic goals), those investments do nothing to keep trains and buses running right now. With gas tax and general budget revenues plummeting, systems nationwide are cutting service, increasing fares, and sacking employees. And while grants to state governments may be used to cover some of the shortfall, state officials will face strong pressure to plug other holes first, stimulus concerns aside. Multi-jurisdictional systems in particular may be out of luck, as governments prove reluctant to devote money to systems that serve non-constituents.
This is an inexcusable failure to effectively address multiple priorities. Vehicle miles driven by Americans have been falling, as have automobile sales -- dramatically -- while transit ridership has increased. Congress' priority, as reflected in proposed spending, is to reverse these trends, by spending on highways, subsidizing automobile sales, and permitting massive transit cuts. This is absurd.
From an environmental perspective, it makes sense to reinforce the shift toward greener choices. But nudging Americans further in a green direction also makes for good stimulus. Transit operating subsidies put money directly in riders' pockets, while highway subsidies force consumers to direct more income toward gasoline (progressives who support Buy America provisions because they fear stimulus "leakage" on import spending would do well to note the billions we send abroad for oil). Our automobile dependency means that should recovery produce higher oil prices, disposable income will fall, potentially short-circuiting output growth. Any steps we can take to reduce per capita gasoline spending will help.
And money for transit systems keeps households with limited access to automobiles -- primarily lower-income families -- working and shopping, helping them, and helping the economy.
It is remarkable that so soon after the high oil prices of last summer sapped consumer spending, outraged the public, and focused attention on our climate and energy crises, we would be willing to double-down on highways, despite a lack of adequate economic justification. If we can't make these easy decisions in the stimulus bill, I fear that we'll also struggle to make them when, or if, climate policy takes center stage. | positive |

Production | Assessments | Interactions | Structure | Expertise High Production values – lest not forget that the process of creating eLearning is not unlike the process of creating a Hollywood movie or a TV drama and it is all down to working to high production values with whatever media you are using. This means paying attention to the quality of the script writing, creative treatments and the audio and visual media. Learning Assessments that matter – assessing the learner’s level of understanding is a critical part of the learning process itself, as well as of value to the organisation in terms of a measure of the effectiveness of learning. The assessment methods should offer a degree of challenge and force the learner to think and reflect on what they have learnt. Interactions that encourage critical thinking – what makes eLearning different to other forms of self-study is learner interaction. Good instructional design recognises the need for frequent interactions yet also that every interaction must have purpose and encourage the learner to reflect more deeply about what they are learning. Logical Structure, flow and signposting – just as in other forms of learning or communication the content needs to be well structured so that it tells a story from start to finish and provides ‘signposting’ along the way. Created with the necessary Expertise to offer a credible learning programme. Expertise is provided by subject matter experts and any eLearning development team must utilise appropriate SMEs to create a valuable, accurate and credible course.

Nobody knew for certain what was hidden beneath the ancient Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple, in Trivandrum, India. But a lawyer named Ananda Padmanabhan had a hunch. According to legend, treasure was sealed in the temple vaults, and Padmanabhan, who was passionate about history, knew that in centuries past maharajas had performed a ceremony in which they weighed local princes approaching adulthood, then donated to the temple an equivalent weight in gold. Padmanabhan believed that these riches were still hidden in the basement, uncounted and unguarded. Padmanabhan, who is thirty-nine, has spent his life in Trivandrum, which is at the southwestern tip of India, in the state of Kerala. His home and his law office are on historic Brahmin Street, just outside the gates of the temple, which has a monumental seven-story tower whose pale granite façade is a tapestry of stone, etched with ornate images of gods, nymphs, sprites, and demons. On the day that I had arranged to meet Padmanabhan, in mid-October, I found him in the middle of the street, barefoot, in a downpour. He was staring at the temple, as if in a trance. I tried to get his attention, but couldn’t. Eventually, a clerk from his office brought him an umbrella, which he took without turning his head. After several minutes, Padmanabhan looked at me, smiled, and explained that he had been praying. There was a festival that day, and the temple’s custodians had removed an idol from the sanctum sanctorum and were parading it around a courtyard. He was hoping to get a glimpse of it. The idol, he told me, “is like an incarnation of God, so it is as if God himself is coming out of the temple.” Like many observant Hindus, Padmanabhan believes that a temple’s deity—in this case, the supreme god Vishnu—resides within its walls. Worshippers come to make offerings of flowers, incense, silver, and gold. Whatever wealth accumulates belongs to the deity. Padmanabhan told me that it had become his driving purpose in life to serve Vishnu and, in so doing, protect the deity’s hoard. He explained, “In Lord Krishna’s Bhagavad Gita, he says we are only small things before the great lord. So if he says, ‘Dance,’ we dance, and if he says, ‘Sit,’ we sit. I am just a mosquito before him.” Deities can actually own property in India, though the law treats them as minors and they must be represented by an official guardian. At the Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple, the Maharaja of Travancore has this role. Travancore was a kingdom that once encompassed much of southern India. Although it ceased to exist in 1947, when India became independent, the maharajas have continued to preside over the temple, both as spiritual leaders and as custodians of the deity’s wealth. For centuries, the royal family’s management of the temple received little scrutiny: there were no complete or easily accessible records of what the deity owned, or how the maharaja used this wealth to maintain the temple. Nobody challenged the arrangement until 2007, when Padmanabhan brought a lawsuit against the temple administration, on behalf of two devotees. Padmanabhan and his clients argued that the head of the royal family, ninety-year-old Marthanda Varma, had mismanaged the site, and that the government should appoint a new trustee to safeguard the deity’s wealth. Even though Varma is not officially a maharaja, as his ancestors were, he is revered in Kerala, and many of his supporters refer to him as the King. Padmanabhan thought that his lawsuit might prove unpopular, but before long several other Indians joined the case, including the leader of a union of temple employees, who believed that treasures had been taken from the site. In the lawsuit, Padmanabhan alleged that a series of kallaras—treasure vaults—existed beneath the temple, and that they were being looted. In any case, the temple was poorly guarded; as one member of the royal family told me, until recently security at the temple consisted of men “holding wooden sticks.” The temple’s executive, Sasidharan Nair, denied the charges of mismanagement and said, in a sworn statement, that “the allegation that there is a treasure-hoard kept in some kallaras is false”; there was nothing beneath the temple except a few unused rooms “covered with cobwebs and dust.” The plaintiffs, Nair said, were spreading “old wives’ tales and gossipy rumors.” Padmanabhan took me back to his office, which is filled with books and has two swords on display. He sat behind a large desk and asked me if I wanted tea. When I said yes, he picked up a remote control with a single button and pressed it. A clerk soon arrived, carrying a tray with two glasses of tea. I asked Padmanabhan what had made him so confident that there was treasure. “These are all historical books,” he said, gesturing at his library. “It is all here.” He pressed the remote control again, and the clerk reappeared. Padmanabhan uttered a command in Malayalam, the regional language. The clerk squeezed between the back of Padmanabhan’s chair and a bookcase, removed a large volume, handed it over, and vanished. Padmanabhan opened the book to a chapter on the temple, and read aloud a sentence that he had underlined: “A cellar underneath the shrine secures the temple jewels.” Perhaps I looked unconvinced, because Padmanabhan pressed his remote control once again. The clerk returned and retrieved another book. Padmanabhan read me a passage noting that, in 1855, the regional government had “faced financial difficulties” and, to cover its expenses, had taken out a sizable loan from the temple. Padmanabhan said, “People who studied history knew that treasure was there.”
The temple amassed much of its riches in the early eighteenth century. At the time, the Maharaja of Travancore was battling local chieftains. His main rivals were known, collectively, as the Lords of the Eight Houses. One day, these men gathered at an inn, south of Trivandrum, and plotted to assassinate him, during a festival at the Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple. The plan might have succeeded had it not been for an old man—the keeper of the well attached to the inn—who overheard the conspirators and sent word to the Maharaja. On the day of the festival, the Maharaja showed up at the temple armed, with a contingent of soldiers; he eventually ordered a number of rebels to be executed, seized their wealth, levelled their homes, and sold their wives and children into slavery. The Maharaja went on to conquer nearby kingdoms, whose wealth was considerable. As the writer Gurcharan Das has chronicled, Indian kings and merchants had been accumulating profits from the spice trade for nearly two thousand years. In ancient Rome, senators lamented that local women used too many Indian luxuries, and, in 77 A.D., Pliny the Elder proclaimed that India had become “the sink of the world’s gold.” In the sixteenth century, the Portuguese echoed this sentiment, complaining that too much of their silver from the New World was going to India; after the British arrived on the subcontinent, they made similar protests. The historian T. P. Sankrankutty Nair has written several books about the Kingdom of Travancore. When I visited him at his home, in Trivandrum, he told me that the Maharaja “was a very cruel man” who, after murdering so many, yearned for absolution. “As repentance, he dedicated his entire kingdom to God, in 1750,” Nair explained. “Whatever things he had collected by defeating all those kings—all the valuables, gold, silver, ornaments, and coins—he gave to the Lord.” This wealth, Nair said, was locked up beneath the temple. But it wasn’t clear what happened to those riches over the centuries. “We never cared to look into that,” he told me, somewhat defensively. “It was not the concern of us historians to study the wealth of the temples. It was beyond our jurisdiction.” He motioned to me to follow him into his living room. On the walls were black-and-white photographs of his deceased relatives. Several photographs were adorned with flowers. Nair, like many Hindus, reveres his ancestors almost as deities; one of his grandfathers, he said, had kept his most valuable possessions in a small wooden box, which Nair had inherited. “I’ve never ventured to open it,” he said. Why not? “Probably it contains wealth, probably it contains a diary and some letters written by him,” he said. Many people in India had boxes like this. “Sometimes these boxes contain valuables and sometimes nothing—but, because of our belief in ancestors, we don’t care to open it. We keep them as something almost divine.” Nair offered to show me the box, but his house was in disarray because of a construction project; after searching for a few minutes, he told me that he wasn’t certain where it was. He didn’t seem particularly concerned. His relaxed attitude about his grandfather’s box seemed similar to his feelings about the temple’s treasury. Did he ever worry that someone might try to rob the site? No, he said. “Whatever is there will be preserved by the deity.” Like Nair, most residents of Trivandrum had not been clamoring for the temple’s vaults to be searched. This had initially puzzled me. In America—a nation of conspiracy-obsessed newshounds that places high value on “closure”—it’s inconceivable that a mysterious, locked door would be left alone. (Recall Geraldo Rivera breaking into Al Capone’s vault, in the nineteen-eighties.) But in India the wealth stored in the vaults of Hindu temples is viewed largely in spiritual, not monetary, terms. William Harman, a scholar of Hinduism at the University of Tennessee, told me, “People make deals with deities, and if they receive what they want they pay up.” Any treasure inside the Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple, Harman said, embodied “centuries of vows.” I read several histories of Travancore but could find no detailed accounts of the temple’s wealth. One of the most popular books was written by a member of the royal family, Princess Lakshmi Bayi; it makes no mention of a treasury, or of underground kallaras. However, I did come across a tantalizing account, from 1870, of life in Trivandrum by a British missionary named Samuel Mateer. After noting that Europeans were prevented, “by native prejudice,” from entering the temple, he added, “It is said that there is a deep well inside the temple, into which immense riches are thrown year by year; and in another place, in a hollow covered by a stone, a great golden lamp, which was lit over 120 years ago and still continues burning.” One day, I visited the central archive of Trivandrum, whose records go back to the thirteen-hundreds. At first glance, the place looked like a warehouse for wicker mats. Until a century ago, scribes, using metal styluses, recorded the temple’s activities on long palm leaves, and the archive’s hallways were lined with shelves containing bundles of dried fronds. An archivist showed me one leaf that was a yard long and an inch wide. It was the original deed from 1750, in which the Maharaja gave his kingdom to the deity. There were ten million leaves like it in the archive. “A careful researcher who read through these leaves would get a sense of the wealth hidden in the temple,” an archivist told me. “But it would be a big task—an enormous task.”
R. Chandrankutty is a leader of the Indian National Trade Union Congress—the union that lent its support to Padmanabhan’s suit. In Trivandrum, the organization represents roughly fifty temple employees, including clerks, sweepers, and priests. Some of these members have reported that valuables have been stolen from the temple, including a large ivory flute and an ancient ring adorned with nine precious stones. When I met with Chandrankutty, at the union office, he offered more details, alleging that the flute was taken from a storage area containing ceremonial items, and the ring from the finger of the main idol, inside the sanctum sanctorum. Whoever stole the ring, he said, had replaced it with a cheap replica. He suspected that other temple employees, with the knowledge of the management, were to blame. Chandrankutty said that after voicing his concerns to the temple’s assistant officer, to no avail, he decided to join the lawsuit. But this choice came at a price, he claimed: another union member—a senior clerk named K. Padmanabha Das—had been nearly killed for his involvement in the case. Chandrankutty then informed me that Das would be arriving shortly to tell the story himself. Das, in his mid-fifties, was soft-spoken, and covered his potbelly with a loose-fitting dhoti. He said that, as a youth, he had worked at the temple as a percussion artist, in an orchestra of five players. Over three decades, he had worked his way up to senior clerk. Starting in 1993, Das noticed that objects occasionally went missing from the temple: precious stones adorning the main idol, a silver pot, the ivory flute. He said of the flute, “It was quite old, made out of a single tusk of an elephant.” Not long after Das learned of Padmanabhan’s lawsuit, he joined it. His participation was crucial, Padmanabhan told me, because he was a credible eyewitness who had worked at the site for decades. Das was working at the temple on the day that he was attacked. He says that he saw several men attempting to load six large ceremonial lamps into a van; they told him that the lamps were going to Pattom Palace, where Varma resides. “I told them, very strictly, that I wouldn’t allow them to do that,” Das recalled. Later that evening, as Das was returning home, two men accosted him and doused him with acid. Padmanabhan, hearing the news, rushed to the hospital. “Flesh was coming off Das’s body,” he recalled. It took Das months to recover. When I asked Padmanabhan why Das had been attacked, he replied, “He had not yet given testimony, and they probably wanted to stop him.” The royal family denies any involvement in the acid incident. The family’s lawyer says that Das concocted the story, and was subsequently fired from the temple for improper conduct. Das, for his part, says that he was dismissed only after he made it clear that he would not remove himself from the lawsuit. In the union office, Das told me, “I will show you what they did.” He pulled up his dhoti and his shirt, revealing ghastly scars along his thighs and his torso.
Padmanabhan, based on his research, believed that there were at least six kallaras beneath the temple: two containing ornaments used daily by the priests, two containing ornaments used only at festivals, and two that were very rarely opened. He suspected that the biggest hoard was in these last two kallaras, later dubbed Vault A and Vault B. Yet he feared that all the vaults were vulnerable to theft, and so when he filed his lawsuit, in September, 2007, he requested an injunction to restrain the temple management, and its “henchmen,” from touching the vaults. A few days later, Marthanda Varma gave an interview to a local Malayalam-language newspaper, the Kerala Kaumudi, in which he admitted that there was a “secret vault” in the temple containing “wealth accumulated by the Travancore royal family over generations.” The hoard, he said, had been growing since 800 A.D., and included “precious gold ornaments and coins from various countries.” He added that he had never seen the treasure, and that the vault had not been opened since 1885. Padmanabhan was pleased to have the treasure’s existence confirmed, but he was alarmed by Varma’s suggestion that it belonged to the royal family. (Varma’s family insists that he was misquoted.) As Padmanabhan knew, after India became independent, in 1947, the royal family of Travancore surrendered its power to the Indian government. In return, the family’s leader at the time—Varma’s older brother—was allowed to collect a “privy purse,” essentially a trust fund doled out to former princes by the Indian government. He was also permitted to keep his status as ruler of Travancore, enabling him to preside over the Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple. Then, in 1971, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi led a populist campaign that culminated with the Twenty-sixth Amendment to the Indian Constitution, which abolished the privy purse and stripped royals of their “ruler” status. As Padmanabhan saw it, this legal change meant that Marthanda Varma had no business asserting control over the temple. The lower court in Trivandrum agreed with virtually every aspect of Padmanabhan’s argument, saying, “This great temple should not be left to the whims and fancies of certain private individuals.” The court ordered the government to take over the temple, and appointed two commissioners to serve as witnesses whenever temple workers opened a vault, including those used for festival ornaments. Early one morning in October, 2008, as the temple prepared to hold its biggest annual festival, Padmanabhan accompanied the two commissioners into a storage area behind the sanctum sanctorum. Confirming Padmanabhan’s suspicions, they found doors to six kallaras. They unlocked and entered the two kallaras containing the festival ornaments, which were later dubbed Vaults C and D. Inside, they found dazzling objects, including a golden bow and arrow, umbrellas made with gold rods, and a golden throne for the deity embedded with hundreds of precious gems. The items were probably worth millions of dollars. It was difficult to know if anything was missing, because there was no detailed registry, but the commissioners reported, among other things, that someone had taken forty-four hooks off a golden umbrella and replaced them with hooks made from inferior metal. The temple staff had shown “carelessness,” the commissioners noted, and added that current security measures were inadequate. Padmanabhan was eager to have the remaining vaults opened, but he had to wait: the royal family had appealed to the High Court of Kerala. Lawyers for the royal family argued that Varma’s ancestors had ruled Travancore for more than a thousand years, and had a legacy of presiding over the temple as spiritual leaders. For centuries, a maharaja from the family had led processions at the temple, and had escorted the idol when it was marched to the sea, twice a year, for a ritual bathing. By custom, the maharaja even had to ask the deity for permission to leave town. This special relationship, the royal family contended, had not been severed by the Twenty-sixth Amendment. Moreover, the royals had not been involved in any theft; on the contrary, Varma had regularly contributed money to make up the temple’s budget deficits. “You noticed nobody gives a damn about beached minnows.” The legal fight intensified when Padmanabhan’s seventy-year-old uncle, T. P. Sundararajan—the senior partner in his law practice—joined the lawsuit. He tried to get the royal family’s appeal dismissed by filing a writ with the High Court that challenged Varma’s claim to authority over the temple. Sundararajan, who was extremely pious, quickly became the public face of the case. He visited the temple many times each day, starting at 3:30 A.M., and looked more like a guru than like a lawyer. He dressed in a dhoti, had a wispy white beard that trailed down to his waist, and regularly smeared across his forehead a tilaka, a pitchfork-shaped design that signifies enlightenment. He had once been regarded as a friend of the royal family—he had been a confidant of Varma’s older brother, the previous maharaja. But he was not close to Varma. Before becoming a lawyer, Sundararajan had been a police officer, then an agent for the Intelligence Bureau of India. He had also served as a member of the security team charged with protecting Indira Gandhi. His boss at the Intelligence Bureau, Mayankote Kelath Narayanan, is now the governor of West Bengal. Narayanan told me that Sundararajan “had a brilliant mind,” but that what really set him apart was his high ethical standards. “He would never make any compromises,” Narayanan said. Sundararajan, he argued, had “nothing to gain” by involving himself in the temple lawsuit, and had acted only because “he felt that things were not being done according to the rule book.” After leaving the Intelligence Bureau, Sundararajan became a law professor, and also took on public-interest cases. In one landmark suit, he helped a client claim an inheritance that was denied to her because she was a woman. He also helped a woman named Nalini Netto win a sexual-harassment lawsuit against a powerful Indian official. Netto told me that Sundararajan had given her “the spiritual strength to stand up through the whole thing.” In January, 2011, Sundararajan’s arguments met with approval from the High Court of Kerala, which upheld the lower court’s ruling, saying that it was “absurd” to call Sri Padmanabhaswamy a “family temple.” Nor did the royal family have a right to oversee the temple’s wealth: “Since the deity is a perpetual minor in the eyes of the law, the court has jurisdiction to protect it.” The court concluded, “We feel it is high time regulatory measures are made in the State to prevent plundering of public money in the name of God and faith.” The royal family appealed again—this time to the Supreme Court of India. In May, the Supreme Court made a bracing announcement. Before it ruled on the stewardship of the temple, a team of “observers” would inspect the remaining vaults that supposedly contained treasure. Vaults A and B, which had “reportedly not been opened for more than a century,” would be opened, inspected, then “closed and sealed again.”
The inspection of these vaults took place on June 30, 2011. Sundararajan was among the observers, along with several archeologists and gemologists. Also in the group was C. S. Rajan, a seventy-three-year-old former judge who had sat on the Kerala High Court. The Supreme Court placed a gag order on the men who entered the vaults, and in the days that followed none of them spoke to the press, including Rajan, who refused to talk when I called him on the phone. A month later, I flew to New Delhi and showed up at his home. Because I had come a long way, and his duties to the Supreme Court were finished, Rajan agreed to describe what he had seen. He said that it had been the greatest day of his life. Upon entering the temple, Rajan and the others headed toward the sanctum sanctorum, where the main idol reclines. The idol is a likeness of Padmanabha—a slumbering god who is one of Vishnu’s many incarnations—and it contains twelve thousand and eight sacred stones that were collected centuries ago from the Gandaki River, in Nepal, and carried to Trivandrum by elephant. The observers passed through the sanctum sanctorum and visited an adjacent storage area, where they came to the six vaults, including A and B, which had metal-grille doors that looked as if they had not been opened in a very long time. On a stone wall above Vault A was an embossed image of a cobra. Princess Lakshmi Bayi, in her history of the temple, notes that there are many stories “passed down through chronicles and word of mouth” about “snakes of high breed” that appeared when “the Temple came under threat,” offering interlopers a warning. Snakes, she writes, are considered “the guardians of the moral and material wealth” of the temple. In the days to come, the image of the cobra would widely be seen as an omen. The doors to Vaults A and B required multiple keys, which had been entrusted to Varma and the temple’s current executive, V. K. Harikumar. The observers used the keys to open the metal-grille door to Vault B, and discovered a sturdy wooden door just behind it. They opened this door as well, and encountered a third door, made of iron, which was jammed shut. So they turned their attention to Vault A. Once again, they unlocked two outer doors, one of metal and the other of wood. They entered a small room with a huge rectangular slab on the floor, like a toppled tombstone. It took five men more than thirty minutes to move the slab. Beneath it they found a narrow, pitch-black passage, barely wide enough for an adult to get through, leading down a short flight of steps. It was just like the “hollow covered by a stone” described by the British missionary. Before the observers descended, a team of firemen arrived and used special equipment to pump oxygen into the enclosure. At the bottom of the stairs was the vault. One of the observers was a fifty-nine-year-old attorney named M. Balagovindan, who was Sundararajan’s personal lawyer and a trusted friend. Balagovindan also spoke with me, and he recalled his first glimpse of the treasure: “When they removed the granite stone, it was almost perfectly dark, except for a small amount of light coming in through the doorway behind us. As I looked into the darkened vault, what I saw looked like stars glittering in a night sky when there is no moon. Diamonds and gems were sparkling, reflecting what little light there was. Much of the wealth had originally been stored in wooden boxes, but, with time, the boxes had cracked and turned to dust. And so the gems and gold were just sitting in piles on the dusty floor. It was amazing.” According to Rajan, the observers instructed temple employees to haul everything from Vault A upstairs, for inspection. It took fifteen men all day. Rajan said that beholding the treasure was a “divine moment.” There were countless gold rings, bangles, and lockets, many encrusted with gems. And there were gold chains, each studded with jewels and eighteen feet long—the length of the main idol. Rajan told me that coin experts estimated that the vault held approximately a hundred thousand gold coins, spanning centuries of trade: Roman, Napoleonic, Mughal, Dutch. He also described seeing a set of solid-gold body armor, known as an angi, built to adorn the main idol. The vault also contained loose diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and other precious stones. According to Balagovindan, the most impressive gems were the large diamonds, some of which were a hundred and ten carats—“the size of a large thumb,” as he put it. The archeologists and gemologists estimated that a small solid-gold idol of Vishnu, encrusted with hundreds of gems, was worth thirty million dollars. Though Balagovindan marvelled at what he saw, his client, Sundararajan, appeared indifferent. “He showed no interest in the gold,” Balagovindan recalled. “He only entered to see if there were any more inner vaults, within the vault.” (There weren’t.) Sundararajan was a true ascetic, Balagovindan said. So far, no one has formally calculated the value of the treasure found in Vault A. But Harikumar, the temple’s executive—who has now seen the hoard on at least two occasions—has estimated that it is worth at least twenty billion dollars. Ananda Bose, the former director of the National Museum, in New Delhi, briefly led a team that has been charged with documenting the treasure. Bose told me that a proper assessment would likely take a year. He had done some research on other famed hoards—including those found in the tombs of the Egyptian pyramids—and said that none of them appeared to rival the temple’s treasure. “Maybe once in a thousand years something like this will happen—finding such massive wealth,” he told me. It may always remain a mystery whether Vault A has ever been robbed. Harikumar initially assured me that nobody had entered it for more than a century, but then admitted that there were no records. As he put it, “There is no paper that I have to show that it was opened at such-and-such a date.” But if there were no precise records, how could he be certain that nothing had been stolen? “I am sorry, I cannot answer that question,” he said. “It is believed that nothing has been stolen.” In the days after Vault A was opened, the temple was surrounded by news crews and protesters—most of them zealous devotees, who feared that the deity’s wealth would be taken from the temple. Padmanabhan and his uncle, Sundararajan, became targets of anger. Padmanabhan received death threats; his office was attacked, and his car was vandalized. Policemen were assigned to protect him. Mobs gathered outside his office, holding posters that read “Recover the lost and encroached temple property and use it for temple needs,” and accusing Sundararajan of having “looted God’s property.” At one point, protesters even brought in a water buffalo—a symbol of death in Hinduism—with a placard around its neck that said, “I am Sundararajan.” Sundararajan was deeply shaken. His cousin N. Rangachary told me that Sundararajan couldn’t understand how his efforts had led to his becoming “ostracized” and “shunned by his own people.” “What did you think of that book that I already know everyone else in the world’s opinion about?” Roughly two weeks later, on July 16th, Sundararajan went to bed with a fever. Initially, no one worried. “Why would anyone think it was serious?” Padmanabhan said. But later that night his mother told him that his uncle was severely ill. Padmanabhan went to his uncle’s bedside. “A little after midnight, my uncle was looking better,” Padmanabhan recalled. “I told him, ‘Don’t worry, you are perfectly all right.’ He replied, ‘No, I have just a few more hours left.’ ” Early that morning, Sundararajan stood up, looked around the room at his relatives, smiled, and fell over dead. The next day, Indian newspapers announced his death, alongside speculation that he had succumbed to “the curse of the cobra.”
Rajan told me that the innermost door to Vault B had three latches, and that one of them was jammed, preventing the team of observers from opening the vault. The observers considered forcing their way in, but deemed this improper; they decided to hire a locksmith. Then, in mid-July, before the locksmith came, the royal family sent an affidavit to the Supreme Court asking it not to open Vault B, at least for the time being, as doing so might compromise the spiritual integrity of the temple. Lakshmi Bayi, the princess who wrote a history of the temple, was among those in the royal family who felt that the vault should be left undisturbed. One afternoon, I met her at Kowdiar Palace, her residence in Trivandrum. The palace, a grand, dilapidated structure with a hundred and six rooms, is furnished with old teak furniture, dusty rugs, and stunning oil paintings depicting scenes from Hindu epics. Stray dogs roamed the palace’s overgrown gardens, and a member of the royal family warned me not to leave my shoes on the front stoop, as a dog might take them. The Princess, who is petite and middle-aged, was dressed in a simple cotton sari. She described herself as not a “servant” of the deity but his “slave.” “A servant has the right to leave his master,” she said. “If I don’t like to work with you, I walk out and I say goodbye, but a slave has no option of independent action. He is forever bound to his master’s feet. So we prefer that.” Though she had never laid eyes on Vault B, she believed that it was connected to the temple’s sanctum sanctorum by a “spiritual charge,” which emitted special vibrations that could be felt only “if you are exceptionally lucky.” This energy should not be disturbed, she told me, and the picture of the cobra outside Vault A gave a clear warning. I asked what would happen if the energy was disturbed. The Princess told me a story she’d heard about an Indian temple that contained the rarest of treasures: a levitating idol. “The figure of the idol remained suspended in the air,” she explained. This was a “very wonderful thing,” and it continued to hover until workers began renovating the temple; suddenly, the idol came crashing down. She worried that tampering with Vault B might cause a similar disaster. Several gurus had even warned her that opening it would “bring danger and damage” to the city of Trivandrum. A few days later, I met the head of the royal family, Marthanda Varma, at Pattom Palace—a vast wooden structure, painted white and crowned with a steep red tile roof. Next to the palace was an open-air garage containing vintage cars, including a perfectly preserved blue 1955 Mercedes 180D. One of Varma’s aides escorted me into a sitting room and told me that I should not broach the issue of treasure with “His Highness.” Several minutes later, a very thin elderly man, dressed in plain cotton and leaning heavily on a cane, made his way down the long hallway leading to the sitting room. We soon got into a discussion about finances, and he tried to explain what, exactly, was his wealth and what was the deity’s. He said, “I have a house, I live in it, but it isn’t mine”—it belonged to the deity of the temple. Did this mean that he would never sell Pattom Palace? “Yeah, sure,” he replied, then added, “In modern life, sometimes your intention can be overruled.” When I asked him to elaborate, he said, “According to the circumstances, whatever may be your desire, your principles, things can get out of hand.” Our conversation turned to Vault B. He told me, rather cryptically, “Of course, there is something there, but not what they’re talking about.” Accounts of immense riches in the vault were “tall stories.” He said that Vault B should remain closed for now, as a precaution, because seeing immense wealth might tempt people to “deplete it,” which would be the path to “ruin.” He went on, “You have a hundred pounds in the bank. I have a hundred pounds in the bank. That man has no pounds in the bank. So he says, ‘I will just take this money off and spend it and share it.’ What did he do? Did he make it? Did he work for it? Did he sweat for it? No. It’s a polite, pressurized looting.” He added, pointedly, “It’s not yours.”
As the citizens of Trivandrum debated what to do about Vault B, the royal family and officials from the temple invited a group of astrologers to hold a four-day ceremony, known as a Devaprasnam, in order to ascertain the will of the deity. One of the astrologers, Padmanabha Sharma, said that the key to making the ceremony work was finding a child who could serve as the “instrument” through which the deity conveyed his wishes. In this case, the child was a boy who was praying at the temple when the astrologers arrived. “It all happened as a matter of destiny,” Sharma explained. Sharma and the other astrologers made sure that the boy was clean and shirtless, and then they seated him in front of eight objects: a lamp, a mirror, a piece of cloth, some grains of rice, betel leaves, a betel nut, an ancient gold coin, and a copy of the Bhagavad Gita. A “sacred powder” was sprinkled on the ground to create an astrological chart consisting of twelve boxes: one for each of the Hindu birth stars. The boy was presented with a hundred and eight conch shells, and told to place them on the chart. As the boy arranged the shells, everyone chanted prayers. “We prayed to God to show the kid the right message,” Sharma said. Every aspect of the ceremony, he said, revealed a different message about what the deity was thinking. “It’s all science,” he said. “It’s like the doctor who diagnoses a disease from various symptoms.” In this case, the news wasn’t good. Sharma concluded that the deity was not happy. In August, Sharma told the press, “It is advised that the wealth found in the chambers is not moved out. These are not just valuables but also divine, and displacing this will invite the wrath of the Lord.” He warned that opening the doors to Vault B would “bode ill for the people and for the land.” A member of the royal family told me that the deity had already made its displeasure known: “The biggest proof, of course, if you can call it a proof, is that Sundararajan has died.” The Supreme Court responded to the Devaprasnam with a statement: “Secret Vault B is not being opened now . . . but we will make a decision and do not propose to hand over the decision to others. Impractical or superstitious decisions and security can’t go hand in hand.” The Court kept delaying its decision, however, and by mid-fall Vault B had still not been opened. Around this time, I met with V. S. Achuthanandan, a former Chief Minister of Kerala and a leader of the state’s powerful Communist Party. Achuthanandan was among the few politicians who had publicly accused the royal family of mismanaging the temple. He called the astrology ritual a “silly” ploy, staged by the royal family in order to prevent the Supreme Court from taking inventory at the temple and implementing proper security measures. Padmanabhan, the lawsuit’s initiator, felt the same way. “This business with astrologers is a farce,” he told me. I asked him if he expected treasure to be found in Vault B. He looked at me as if I had asked an exceptionally stupid question, then advised me to discuss the matter with Balagovindan, his uncle’s lawyer. When I met with Balagovindan, he told me a story about Sundararajan. According to Balagovindan, Sundararajan and the previous maharaja, Sri Chithira Thirunal, had shared secrets about the temple—including the fact that in its treasuries were solid-gold bars. Last summer, after Vault A was opened—and no gold bars were found—Sundararajan told Balagovindan that they were probably in Vault B, as this tightly locked vault would be an excellent place to hide hefty amounts of gold. “How many gold bars might there be?” I asked. “We have no idea,” Balagovindan said.
Even if Vault B is empty, the treasure in Vault A could radically transform the city of Trivandrum and, indeed, the state of Kerala. If the hoard in Vault A turned out to be worth half the twenty-billion-dollar estimate, it would likely earn enough interest in one year to cover the cost of the major projects in the state’s 2012 budget, including new waste-processing plants, cargo ports, ambulances, office parks, hospital trauma units, and a modern laboratory for monitoring food and drug quality. And there would still be a three-hundred-and-fifty-million-dollar surplus, which could be used to help Kerala’s poor. “How much ground do you want to stand?” One morning in October, I visited a Trivandrum slum known as the Chenkal Choola Colony. On the street, old women sorted through mounds of trash, young women sold fish covered with flies, and a child in her underpants hopped on a series of boards, to avoid falling into a deep, viscous mud puddle. I met the owner of a chicken stall, a sixty-year-old man named K. S. Babu. His shop contained a cage of clucking chickens, a picture of the Virgin Mary, a tree stump for poultry butchering, and little else. Babu told me that, poor as the neighborhood was, it had been much worse before Indira Gandhi launched anti-poverty programs, in the nineteen-eighties. “If somebody died here, no one took the body away,” he told me. “And anybody without a house could take over someone’s place and live there. We couldn’t question anyone.” Government could make a big difference in people’s lives, he said. “It is necessary that we use the treasure for the well-being of the public!” Babu went on. Despite his strong feelings, he cautioned me against broaching the topic with other residents of the Colony. “Most of them would explode, saying not to take the treasure out of the temple,” he continued. “If they are Hindus, they will show their rage. You can’t talk to them freely as you talk to me, because I think in the mind-set of a socialist.” Babu was also a Christian. In Kerala, three religions have a strong presence: a quarter of its population is Muslim, roughly another quarter is Christian, and the remainder is Hindu. I asked Babu to introduce me to a Hindu who would consent to be interviewed. “Talk to him,” Babu said, pointing to a slender young man walking past. “Who is he?” I asked. “My son.” The young man’s name was Ganesh; he was twenty-seven, and an art student. He explained that his father had converted to Christianity, but he had remained Hindu. Ganesh firmly opposed taking any wealth out of the temple, and said that he avoided discussing the matter with his father: “As a Hindu, I see my father and mother as gods. We won’t raise our voice against them.” Ganesh took me to the cramped apartment where the family lived. We passed through the closet-size kitchen and entered a bedroom, where we sat on a bare wooden ledge. Ganesh said that he gave the deity whatever money he could spare, which was sometimes as little as one rupee—roughly two cents. Everything in the temple, Ganesh said, came from devotees like him, and he added, “So of course it belongs to God!” Wouldn’t it be a good thing, I asked, if the deity’s wealth were used to help people? By that logic, Ganesh said, valuable objects should also be removed from churches and mosques. Moreover, he insisted, the money would not “reach the right hands.” He explained, “There are various funds for the improvement of the Colony, which are managed by government officials, but these funds are not used properly. Even the drainage in the Colony is not properly constructed. When the tsunami came, there was a fund for the affected, but it hasn’t yet been used well, either.” Many Indians share Ganesh’s frustrations. In 2011, India’s former telecommunications minister was arrested on charges of corruption, in a scandal that may have cost Indian taxpayers as much as forty billion dollars. “If the government takes hold of the temple’s wealth, they will loot it,” Ganesh concluded. A group of Hindu men were standing in a muddy street, chatting amiably. They were adamant that no treasure be removed from the temple. A street-food vender named Suresh spoke with me at his home, a humble concrete dwelling that he had decorated with a small statue of Buddha and pictures of his heroes: Jesus, Mother Teresa, Vishnu, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. He said that he did not trust the government to handle the temple’s wealth. I asked him if he had more faith in the royal family. “Yes,” he replied. “They were not like the government officials, who are corrupt. They were foresighted and saved this wealth for the generations to come, like parents who are saving for their children.” There are many people who, like Suresh, feel that the royal family has done an excellent job of protecting the deity’s hoard—and that the proof is the sheer quantity of treasure found in Vault A. I asked Suresh if Keralans had been better off when they were ruled by maharajas. “The administration during the king’s rule was much better,” he said. It was surprising that, in a place with rampant poverty, there wasn’t a greater demand to nationalize the treasure. Indeed, at many intersections in Trivandrum, there are posters of Lenin, Marx, and Stalin. When I met with Achuthanandan, the Communist Party leader, he claimed that much of the wealth donated by the maharaja to the temple in 1750 was actually tax revenue that he had collected from other rulers; it was, in essence, the people’s money. This argument was proving a hard sell in Kerala. Several Communist activists told me that, if they kept pressing for the temple treasure to be distributed to the public, they risked alienating their Hindu constituents. “We must have unity,” one activist told me. I asked him what he thought Marx and Lenin would have done. The activist, shifting in his chair, replied, “When they are reincarnated, we must ask them.” | positive |

Image caption The men were thrown out of the Madejski Stadium last Saturday
Reading Football Club has apologised to two fans who were ejected for using bad language during a game.
Officials threw out the men during Saturday's 3-0 home loss to Nottingham Forest at the Madejski Stadium.
The Championship club said it had since carried out a full review and found the type of language used should not have resulted in them being removed.
Officials have met the supporters, who have also apologised to anyone offended by their choice of words.
'Over-exuberant'
The Supporters' Trust at Reading said one of the fans in question was "trying to gee the crowd up" but issues arose because he was sitting in a quieter area of the stadium close to families.
The trust described the language as "over-exuberant" rather than offensive, and not any different from that used in more vocal sections of the ground.
In a statement, the club said: "Although there was evidence of foul language being used, it was not to such an extent that would normally result in supporters being asked to leave.
"[We have] apologised for the wrong course of action being taken on the club's part.
"We look forward to hearing the two fans cheering the players on at Madejski Stadium in the future and we have also invited them to be part of a continual review of our match-day procedures."
A number of Reading fans took to social media to show their anger at the men being removed. | positive |

Emily Lutringer is a very experienced gamer who specializes in MMOs and other online games. One such type of game is MUDs, which have always fascinated me, personally, being that they’re kind of the “way more interesting grandfather of MMOs”. Anyway, I asked Emily to write me an article on the subject to introduce my readers to the games, and she did! So here it is – thanks so much to Emily for her great work. – Keith
In the end, I always return to MUDding. Fancy, flashy new games distract me for a while – long enough to forget what in the world I was doing in any particular MUD. Eventually, those games bore me, and I return, seeking out both nostalgic MUDs of my youth as well as new ones. But how can a text-based ASCII online game of the early 1990s, completely free and completely run, coded, and designed by volunteers, possibly compete for my attention in the graphical games and MMO worlds?
The movie is never as good as the book. Well, 98% of the time, anyways. A MUD is the book of the online multiplayer gaming scene. It’s where it all began.
Modern MMOs have even dropped the -RPG suffix for the most part, simply because they have become so dumbed down to appeal to large audiences that they have left all the finer points (and the most fun and interesting points) out.
MUDs are a labor of love. Instead of churned out by code monkeys, they are artisan-crafted, filled with creativity and individuality. MUDs are the smart people’s MMO; the hackers and coders, writers, artists and scientists. It is a unique blend of art, science, mathematics, and gaming. And this is apparent in its structure, causing those who don’t have the intelligence, or patience to understand its system to quickly weed out. For all of us who complain about the idiot communities of games like WoW, we can seek refuge in the world of MUDs.
MUD – Not Your Average Mix of Dirt and Water
MUD stands for Multi-User Dungeon. Most MUDs are RPG style games, which exist in a persistent world where you play real time with other people. Just like in MMOs, there are monsters to fight, quests to solve, parties to form, crafting, and even epic PvP (on MUDs, this is usually called PK for Player Killing). The primary difference that you will notice is that there are no graphics. MUDs are entirely text-based, although many use ASCII for simple graphics and mapping. In fact, the early MMOs were called “graphical MUDs”. Everquest was so closely styled after a MUD that they even had to prove that their code was original. Ultima Online is another popular MMO which was based very closely on MUD gameplay. As time went on, MMOs started looking and feeling very different from the old MUDs, but they all still retain the basic structure and elements of their forefathers. Most MUDs are 100% free to play.
MUDs come in various styles, and with many different features, and there is a MUD to suit almost anyone’s tastes – from roleplaying mandatory, to permadeath, to hardcore PK (PvP), from fantasy, to sci-fi, to even X-rated adult MUDs. There are usually a very large number of classes and races to choose from, and enormous amounts of character customization options. There are even MUDs which have completely done away with levels and classes, and instead, you gain in power by increasing your skills – in whichever way you choose, making your character uniquely your own. Usually, there is some system in place which allow players to own and design their own homes, ships, or even entire cities.
You move around using directional commands such as “n” for north, “se” for southeast, etc. Sometimes room descriptions contain valuable information – such as clues for a quest, or objects you can interact with, which are not immediately apparent. Usually the most important things such as other players, NPCs, monsters, and items on the ground are highlighted with color and below the room description to make it easy to see those things at a quick glance.
Here is how some MUDs look in-game:
MUDs began out of the beginnings of the internet, starting first in the realms of games on dial-up BBSes and then growing into their own coding languages and servers. The first MUD was developed in the mid-1980s, but MUDs didn’t really take off on their own until about 1990. Amazingly, many of the MUDs you see around today have been in existence since the early 1990s continuously, with various updates and improvements made over the years. You can usually even find a few players who have been playing that MUD since it’s birth – over 20 years in some cases!
There are many different styles of coding systems. When you see things like LPMud, DikuMUD, MUSH, MOO, and so on, that is essentially referring to the type of coding language as well as the basic engine of the game. Some codebases are more suited to different styles of games – Diku and its derivatives, for example, are known to be great systems for hack-and-slash type games.
Who Should Play MUDs – and Who Shouldn’t
MUDs take work from the player. These are not passive, absent-minded games. You must engage in the story, in your character, and in the world. Each game has its own syntax and commands you must learn. It requires lots of reading. It can get tedious. The player must have patience, as things take much longer to get done in a MUD than in a MMO. Good grammar is important, as is proper netiquette.
There is very steep learning curve, which can be difficult and frustrating, but the result is an immersive experience brimming with creativity and imagination. Many times I have thought, “huh, I wonder if I can do this”… and I could. Wield an octopus and slap orcs around with it? Sure. Pick mushrooms in the forest, eat them and hallucinate? Yup. Fly, swim, sail, open portals to demonic dimensions, or play the lute? Of course. And when “smile” and “wave” just don’t cut it, there are thousands of emotes built into the game to express yourself. One of the major benefits of not having graphics is that the game can do just about anything it wants without having to visualize it for you or have huge amounts of code to do something. Additionally, MUDs tend to have very complex and intricate storylines, and many MUDs even alter their world based on how players interact with it. Too many people cutting down trees? Now that forest is a desert.
Interesting places, a sense of real adventure, a tight community, and just about any scenario and environment you can imagine and a million ways to accomplish any given task – these are the essential facets of MUDding.
If you have the patience and time, and a curiosity which outweighs slower gameplay and the steep learning curve, and are interested in a smarter, richer, deeper online multiplayer experience, you should play MUDs. Or, if you are simply nostalgic for the early days of the internet. If you do not have the above qualities, then you shouldn’t play MUDs (although I still suggest trying it out a few times to just learn about how they work and to make yourself a better person).
How to connect to a MUD and start playing
First, you need a client. It’s possible to use plain old boring telnet if you like, but that’s a really limited experience. I suggest using MUSHclient – it’s completely free, has lots of features and customizations, and a strong community and forums if you need help. Don’t be turned off by the Windows ’95 look – most MUD clients are rather outdated, but they still work great. Another popular client is Zmud – or its more modern reincarnation as Cmud. These are paid apps, but for many serious MUDers they are simply the best clients around. They do have very advanced features and tools, but, most of that is not necessary, especially if you are new to MUDing. Additionally, many MUDs now have the option to connect using Flash through their websites, so you don’t need to download a client at all. And other MUDs have custom clients which are designed specifically for their MUD and can really take the whole experience up a notch, such as with BatMUD or Aardwolf (see the resources section below).
Here, I will guide you through setting up MUSHclient to get connected for the first time. However, these instructions can be easily transferred to most other clients as well, so use what you like.
Start MUSHClient. Select File > New World. This screen will come up:
World name can be anything, but I highly suggest using the name of the MUD you want to connect to. In this case, it’s set to connect to Discworld.
In the TCP/IP Address field, put the MUD address. This is usually found on a MUD’s webpage under “Play Now” or “How to Connect”. They should also list the port, and you should plug in that number too below. Check “Save World Automatically on Close” as this will remember the MUDs details for you for next time. No need to enter a proxy server unless you use one. Click OK.
Now, on the toolbar, click the little icon that shows a plug, as seen here under the “save” icon and above the “3”:
And there you go! You are connected to a MUD. Every MUD has a different login screen and setup options, but they are all pretty similar and self-explanatory. In this case, on Discworld MUD, you would enter G to try out a guest character, or N to create a new character. The system will walk you through getting your character made from there and then will put you in a Newbie area, with an optional tutorial to get you familiar with the commands of the game. I suggest browsing through the website first, to get yourself familiar with the available races and classes ahead of time, as while there are usually some standard races (humans, elves, dwarves, etc) and classes (fighter, mage, healer, etc), every MUD is unique, and often have designed many, many races and classes that are not seen anywhere else, or have put their own flavor and style into the traditional roles, altering them significantly from what you would initially suspect.
I currently am playing primarily on BatMUD, with the name Aniah. If you decide to play there, send me a tell and say hi! If there is sufficient interest, I may write a simple guide to the basics of getting setup in a MUD, various settings you can alter in MUSHclient to personalize your experience, general tips to make your experience easier and more enjoyable, and some help with the terminology often used in MUDs. Leave a post if you are interested, or with any questions that you have.
Resources
For more information on the history and types of MUDs, see the Wikipedia article at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUD
Clients
MUSHClient – a popular free favorite with lots of features and plugins available. http://www.gammon.com.au/mushclient/
ZMud/CMud – the gold standard, best quality clients. Lots of advanced features, but often more than most people need. Costs about $30.00. http://www.zuggsoft.com/index.php
MUD Listings
Top Mud Sites – A ranking website of the most popular MUDs. Remember tho, #1 doesn’t always mean the best. Results are somewhat skewed because anyone can vote as many times as they want for any game. Still, it does give a quick overview of various types and the most stable MUDs with the strongest communities. http://www.topmudsites.com/
MudConnector – A search engine and database of all the MUDs, with lots of details on what the MUD is like, and many advanced search options. Very useful for finding your perfect MUD. http://www.mudconnect.com/
MUDs
BatMUD – My current favorite MUD. Has a traditional fantasy feel, but with a spicy kick! BatMUD has gone through a ton of work to create a custom graphical based client, which you can see in the screenshots above, to bring MUDding into the modern era. Has about 200 players on at a time, and lots of friendly folks who will help out newbies. http://www.bat.org/
Materia Magica – A well-made fantasy themed MUD. Usually has 100+ players on at a time. Has multiple customized clients to play the game, including ones with sound effects! Been up and running for over 14 years continuously. Roleplaying is not required, but it is encouraged. http://www.materiamagica.com
Iron Realms – This is not a MUD in itself, but a company who has produced several MUDs with unique styles and environments. Currently, they are running a total of 5 different MUDs, of which Achaea (http://www.achaea.com/) is probably the most popular. These are more polished MUDs than some of the others, but they also use a lot of stock rooms and maps. They are the sort of corporate, mass marketed version of MUDs. They all have large communities with several hundred players online at a time. However, they all tend to push for donations to get the best gear and other perks later in the game, and they all lack in originality, in my opinion. Still, these are solid, very popular games. http://www.ironrealms.com/
Aardwolf – Aardwolf is one of the most popular MUDs around. I have trouble understanding why. It has an interesting world, but ultimately, the game is mostly grinding and copy/pasting run paths to various areas. It has a very large community with several hundred players online at a time. It’s easier to learn than many other MUDs, but I find it rather shallow in the long haul. They have recently created a graphical interface using a customized version of MUSHClient. This could be a good place to start learning about MUDs, but don’t be discouraged if you want something more immersive or imaginative – there’s plenty more MUDs out there. http://www.aardwolf.com/play/index.htm
Armageddon MUD – Low fantasy, in a vicious post-apocalyptic world. This is known to be one of the most “hardcore” MUDs around. It’s extremely difficult. Roleplaying is enforced. You will die – a lot. And, it has permadeath – similar to a roguelike, when you die, you must start over. This MUD has intense PK (PvP) between individuals, clans, guilds, etc. http://www.armageddon.org/
Two Towers – Based on the lore of Middle Earth by J.R.R. Tolkien, this MUD has a small community but with a dedicated fan base. People looking to immerse themselves in the world of Tolkien would really enjoy this MUD. It’s a little tougher to get started here than in some of the others, but, my brother enjoys playing here, mainly just to bumble around as a hobbit and smoke a pipe and chat with people, although the more involved players are very in love with and loyal to this game. http://t2tmud.org/
Discworld – An enjoyable game loosely based on the world created in the books by Terry Pratchett, a humorous, ironic place filled with magic and fantasy. This is a very well established MUD, with 100+ players online at any given time. You don’t need to know anything about the books to play here. This MUD is a lot of fun, but it can be really slow going at the beginning. http://discworld.starturtle.net/lpc/
Rise of Praxis – Fair warning, this MUD is currently in development. It’s a work in progress to recreate one of the best and most famous LPMUDs of all time – Nightmare. This was my first MUD and one that I played for many, many years, until it was lost due to an unrecoverable server crash a few years ago. Rise of Praxis is being built by the people who loved Nightmare. This can be an interesting look at one of the best MUDs that ever was, as well as give insight as to how a MUD is created. However, be prepared that this IS a work in progress, there are unfinished areas, bugs, and very few people on and active at any given time. http://forums.riseofpraxis.net/index.php | positive |

While most supplemented absolute fasting is fairly simple to use, there are a few things you should know before use. First, you'll need to decide what size supplemented absolute fasting you need. supplemented absolute fasting come in various sizes, from compact models for small apartments to full-sized models. Once you've decided on the right size, you'll need to choose a model with the desired features. You can check out Amazon for some of the exclusive selections of supplemented absolute fasting available at great prices. These questions will help narrow down your search. If there were one thing we could tell everyone about buying any product, it would be patience. What is the best supplemented absolute fasting for your needs? How to find a reputable seller when buying the best supplemented absolute fasting? When to buy supplemented absolute fasting? Where to buy supplemented absolute fasting from? 1. Budget To reduce the risk of picking a sub-standard product, you should consider purchasing supplemented absolute fasting that are both inexpensive. That way, if your choice wasn't right for any reason, it won't be as much of a blow. If you have a limited budget and still want to use good quality items, choose an inexpensive product made by a well-known brand. The company understands budgetary limits involved, too – they've put their heart into developing their products to meet those limits even though they may not have had to worry about them previously. As long as you use the best item with care and don't abuse it by taking advantage of its cheaper materials, it should last you a long time, and if not, the company will honor the 1-year warranty. For those who like to change their home or office walls as often as they change their minds, the inexpensive best supplemented absolute fasting is perfect; it makes various changes over time. However, ensure you don't purchase anything too cheap as these products are not very durable and won't last long. 2. Only for yourself, or is it for others The best supplemented absolute fasting is the one we can use for ourselves and others. We need to be mindful of our own needs and think about how other people might feel in this situation. Suppose they have more money than us or fewer resources available to them. In that case, it makes sense that you would want their lives positively impacted by paying forward what little wealth may exist between yourselves because there's no such thing as too much when trying to help. Someone else succeeds! 3. Do you have enough money? It can be a sensitive topic for some people to talk about the issue of money. Some may have too much, while others struggle to make ends meet and buy what they need to achieve their lives' potential. Before you spend your hard-earned cash on something that will help improve our quality of life as consumers, consider if it's worth spending those funds with this purchase by considering how often we should upgrade or get new items? 4. Price and quality In addition to looking at the best item's features and how it might help you, consider its price. Sometimes a more expensive product isn't always better because it may have less value than a lower-priced item that fits your needs. Buying the best supplemented absolute fasting is worth it when you want a long-lasting, high-quality item that will last for many years. Cheaper products can have worse materials or design defects which would cost more in repairs down the line! If you need a high-quality product that is powerful within its design limits, use a list price to verify the purchase price to ensure you get the best supplemented absolute fasting under ~$200-$300 while everything is on sale. 5. Importance of the supplemented absolute fasting The best supplemented absolute fasting to purchase is quality, followed by cost. Good-looking products are not always necessary for the everyday use of any product. Consumers care about how something looks before they buy it because this might show that the company spent money on making their product look good instead of just worrying about its function or price point. With that being said, if you don't have enough money to purchase both quality and cost, try to research which would suit your needs more than others and invest in that one first. One thing worth mentioning is people will always pay more for something where you get what you paid for, so if there is a point where you can get both, then go for it, but if you can't get either, then focus on quality first.

Fabian Cancellara could attempt to break the hour record in 2014; reviving interest in one of cycling’s most prestigious but most difficult record. Related Articles Cancellara considers hour record

Trek contract could be my last, says Cancellara
Tony Martin open to hour record attempt
The four-time world time trial champion hinted he would attempt the hour record during the summer and according to Gazzetta dello Sport, Cancellara will sit down with team manager and personal coach Luca Guercilena next week at the first Trek team get together in Belgium to study the details of the attempt.
Ondrej Sosenka currently holds the official hour record after covering a distance of 49.700km in Moscow in 2005. Sosenka’s career ended when he tested positive for methamphetamine at the Czech time trial championships three years later.
Cancellara attempt would bring back considerable prestige to cycling’s most prestigious record.
It has lost much of its lustre since the UCI opted to ban tri-bars and re-set the record to Eddy Merckx’s 49.431km set in 1972. That decision saw Chris Boardman’s 56.375km on the since outlawed “Superman” position from Manchester in 1996 downgraded to the status of “Best Human Effort,” and the previous bests set by Francesco Moser (1984), Graeme Obree (1993 and 1994), Miguel Indurain (1994) and Tony Rominger (1994) were also expunged from the record books.
Boardman brought the curtain down on his professional career in October 2000 by bettering Merckx’s record on a traditional bike in Manchester, clocking 49.441km. Since then the best time trialists and track riders have all opted to forgo the hour record due to fear of failing and lack of sponsorship.
“First of all we’ll study the equipment with the engineers from Trek, then we’ll decide the right moment to go for it. The ideal moment would be after a peak of form: he needs three weeks of specific training to get used to the track,” Guercilena explained to Gazzetta dello Sport.
“There are two possible moments in the season: after the spring Classics or after the first of the two Grand Tours that Fabian has on his programme.
It was reported that Cancellara could go for the hour record on the new track in Grenchen, Switzerland, not from his home in Berne. However Guercilena knows that a fast track is needed for a successful record attempt.
“The track has to be the fastest there is,” he said.
“We haven‘t done any specific tests but speaking to experts, it seems there are three fast tracks: Manchester, Aguascalientes (Mexico) and Anadia (Portugal). | positive |

WASHINGTON – In this week’s address, President Obama called on both parties to work together to find a balanced approach to solving our nation’s deficit problem. The President emphasized the importance of compromise and shared sacrifice so that we can overcome our fiscal challenges and move our country forward. To get our fiscal house in order, we must cut spending, but we must also close tax loopholes for special interests and ask the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share. Through cooperation and a bipartisan approach, we can get our economy on firmer ground and give our businesses the confidence they need to create more jobs across the United States.
Remarks of President Barack Obama
Weekly Address
The White House
July 16, 2011
Today, there’s a debate going on in Washington over the best way to get America’s fiscal house in order and get our economy on a stronger footing going forward.
For a decade, America has been spending more money than we’ve taken in. For several decades, our debt has been rising. And let’s be honest – neither party in this town is blameless. Both have talked this problem to death without doing enough about it. That’s what drives people nuts about Washington. Too often, it’s a place more concerned with playing politics and serving special interests than resolving real problems or focusing on what you’re facing in your own lives.
But right now, we have a responsibility – and an opportunity – to reduce our deficit as much as possible and solve this problem in a real and comprehensive way.
Simply put, it will take a balanced approach, shared sacrifice, and a willingness to make unpopular choices on all our parts. That means spending less on domestic programs. It means spending less on defense programs. It means reforming programs like Medicare to reduce costs and strengthen the program for future generations. And it means taking on the tax code, and cutting out certain tax breaks and deductions for the wealthiest Americans.
Now, some of these things don’t make folks in my party too happy. And I wouldn’t agree to some of these cuts if we were in a better fiscal situation, but we’re not. That’s why I’m willing to compromise. I’m willing to do what it takes to solve this problem, even if it’s not politically popular. And I expect leaders in Congress to show that same willingness to compromise.
The truth is, you can’t solve our deficit without cutting spending. But you also can’t solve it without asking the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share – or without taking on loopholes that give special interests and big corporations tax breaks that middle-class Americans don’t get.
It’s pretty simple. I don’t think oil companies should keep getting special tax breaks when they’re making tens of billions in profits. I don’t think hedge fund managers should pay taxes at a lower rate than their secretaries. I don’t think it’s fair to ask nothing of someone like me when the average family has seen their income decline over the past decade – and when many of you are just trying to stretch every dollar as far it it’ll go.
We shouldn’t put the burden of deficit reduction on the backs of folks who’ve already borne the brunt of the recession. It’s not reasonable and it’s not right. If we’re going to ask seniors, or students, or middle-class Americans to sacrifice, then we have to ask corporations and the wealthiest Americans to share in that sacrifice. We have to ask everyone to play their part. Because we are all part of the same country. We are all in this together.
So I’ve put things on the table that are important to me and to Democrats, and I expect Republican leaders to do the same. After all, we’ve worked together like that before. Ronald Reagan worked with Tip O’Neill and Democrats to cut spending, raise revenues, and reform Social Security. Bill Clinton worked with Newt Gingrich and Republicans to balance the budget and create surpluses. Nobody ever got everything they wanted. But they worked together. And they moved this country forward.
That kind of cooperation should be the least you expect from us – not the most you expect from us. You work hard, you do what’s right, and you expect leaders who do the same. You sent us to Washington to do the tough things. The right things. Not just for some of us, but for all of us. Not just what’s enough to get through the next election – but what’s right for the next generation.
You expect us to get this right. To put America back on firm economic ground. To forge a healthy, growing economy. To create new jobs and rebuild the lives of the middle class. And that’s what I’m committed to doing.
Thank you. | positive |
Class difference and the way in which it divides women was an issue women in the feminist movement talked about long before race. In the mostly white circles of a newly formed women’s liberation movement the most glaring separation between women was that of class. White working-class women recognized that class hierarchies were present in the movement. Conflict arose between the reformist vision of women’s liberation which basically demanded equal rights for women within the existing class structure, and more radical and/or revolutionary models, which called for a fundamental change in the existing structure so that models of mutuality and equality could replace the old paradigms. However, as the feminist movement progressed and privileged groups of well-educated white women began to achieve equal access to class power with their male counterparts, feminist class struggle
From the onset of the movement women from privileged classes were able to make their concerns “the” issue that should be focused on in part because they were the group of women who received public attention. They attracted mass media. The issues that were most relevant to working women were never highlighted by mainstream mass media. Betty Friedan’s The Feminist Mystique identified “the problem that has no name” as the dissatisfaction females felt about being confined and subordinated in the home as housewives. While this issue was presented as a crisis for women, it really was only a crisis for a small group of well-educated white women. While they were complaining about the dangers of confinement in the home a huge majority of women in the nation were in the workforce. And many of these working women, who put in long hours for low wages while still doing all the work in the domestic household would have seen the right to stay home as “freedom”.
It was not gender discrimination or sexist oppression that kept privileged women of all races from working outside the home, it was the fact that the jobs that would have been available to them would have been the same low-paying unskilled labor open to all working women. Elite groups of highly educated females stayed at home rather than do the type of work large numbers of lower-middle class and working class women were doing. Occasionally, a few of these women defied convention and worked outside the home performing tasks way below their educational skills and facing resistance from husbands and family. It was this resistance that turned the issue of their working outside the home into an issue of gender discrimination and made opposing patriarchy and seeking equal rights with men of their class the political platform that chose feminism rather than class struggle.
From the onset, reformist white women with class priviledge were well aware that the power and freedom they wanted was the freedom they perceived men of their class enjoying. Their resistance to patriarchal male domination in the domestic household provided them with a connection they could use to unite across class with other women who were weary of male domination. But only privileged women had the luxury to imagine working outside the home would actually provide them with an income which would enable them to be economically self-sufficient. Working class women already knew that the wages they received would not liberate them.
Reformist efforts on the part of privileged groups of women to change the workforce so that women workers would be paid more and face less gender-based discrimination and harrassment on the job had positive impact on the lives of all women. And these gains are important. Yet the fact that privileged women gained in class power while masses of women still do not receive wage equity with men is an indication of the way in which class interests superceded feminist efforts to change the workforce so that women would receive equal pay for equal work.
Lesbian feminist thinkers were among the first activists to raise the issue of class in the feminst movement, expressing their viewpoints in an accessible language. They were a group of women who had not imagined they could depend on husbands to support them. And they were often much more aware than their straight counterparts of the difficulties all women would face in the workforce. In the early 1970s, anthologies like Class and Feminism, edited by Charlotte Bunch and Nancy Myron, published work written by women from diverse backgrounds who were confronting the issue in feminist circles. Each essay emphasized the fact that class was not simply a question of money. In The Last Straw, Rita Mae Brown (who was not a famous writer at the time) clearly stated:
“Class is much more than Marx’s definition of relationship to the means of production. Class involves your behavior, your basic assumptions, how you are taught to behave, what you expect from yourself and from others, your concept of a future, how you understand problems and solve them, how you think, feel, act.”
These women who entered feminist groups, made up of diverse classes, were among the first to see that the vision of a politically based sisterhood where all females would unite together to fight patriarchy could not emerge until the issue of class was confronted.
Placing class on feminist agendas opened up the space where the intersections of class and race were made apparent. Within the institutionalized race, sex, class social system in our society black females were clearly at the bottom of the economic totem pole. Initially well-educated white women from working class backgrounds were more visible than black females of all classes in the feminist movement. They were a minority within the movement, but theirs was the voice of experience. They knew better than their priviledged class comrades of any race the costs of resisting race, class and gender domination. They knew what it was like to struggle to change one’s economic situation. Between them and their privileged-class comrades there were ongoing conflicts over appropriate behavior, over the issues that would be presented as fundamental feminist concerns. Within the feminst movement women from privileged class backgrounds who had never before been involved in leftist freedom fighting learned the concrete politics of class struggle, confronting challenges made by less privileged women, and also learning in the process assertiveness skills and constructive ways to cope with conflict. Despite constructive intervention, many privileged white women continued to act as though feminism belonged to them, as though they were in charge.
Mainstream patriarchy reinforced the idea that the concerns of women from privileged class groups were the only ones worthy of receiving attention. Feminist reform aimed to gain social equality for women within the existing structure. Privileged women wanted equality with men of their class. Despite sexism among their class they would not have wanted to have the lot of working class men. Feminist efforts to grant women social equality with men of their class neatly coincided with white supremacist-capitalist-patriarchal fears that white power would diminish if non-white people gained equal access to economic power and priviledge. Supporting what in effect became white power-reformist-feminism enabled the mainstream white supremacist patriarchy to bolster its power while simultaneously undermining the radical politics of feminism.
Only revolutionary feminist thinkers expressed outrage at this co-optation of the feminist movement. Our critique and outrage gained a hearing in the alternative press. In her collection of essays, The Coming of Black Genocide, radical white activist Mary Barfoot boldly stated:
“There are white women, hurt and angry, who believed that the ’70s women’s movement meant sisterhood, and who feel betrayed by escalator women. By women who went back home to patriarchy. But the women’s movement never left the father Dick’s side. There was no war. And there was no liberation. We got a share of the genocide profits and we love it. We are Sisters of Patriarchy, and true supporters of national and class oppression, Patriarchy in its highest form is Euro-imperialism on a worldscale. If we’re Dick’s sister and want what he has gotten, then in the end we support that system that he got it all from.”
Indeed, many more feminist women found and find it easier to consider divesting of white supremacist thinking than of their class elitism.
As privileged women gained greater access to economic power with men of their class, feminist discussions of class were no longer commonplace. Instead, all women were encouraged to see the economic gains of affluent females as a positive sign for all women. In actuality, these gains rarely changed the lot of poor and working class women. And since privileged men did not become equal caretakers in the domestic household, the freedom of privileged-class women of all races has required the sustained subordination of working class and poor women. In the 1990s, collusion with the existing social structure was the price of “women’s liberation.” At the end of the day class power proved to be more important than feminism. And this collusion helped de-stablize the feminist movement.
When women acquired greater class status and power without conducting themselves differently from males feminist politics were undermined. Lots of women felt betrayed. Middle- and lower-middle class women who were suddenly compelled by the ethos of feminism to enter the workforce did not feel liberated once they faced the hard truth that working outside the home did not mean work in the home would be equally shared with male partners. No-fault divorce proved to be more economically beneficial to men than women. As many black women/women of color saw white women from privileged classes benefiting economically more than other groups from reformist feminist gains, from gender being tacked on to racial affirmative action, it simply reaffirmed their fear that feminism was really about increasing white power. The most profound betrayal of feminist issues has been the lack of mass-based feminist protest challenging the government’s assault on single mothers and the dismantling of the welfare system. Privileged women, many of whom call themselves feminists, have simply turned away from the “feminization of poverty”.
The only genuine hope of feminist liberation lies with a vision of social change which challenges class elitism. Western women have gained class power and greater gender inequality because a global white supremacist patriarchy enslaves and/or subordinates masses of third world women. In this country, the combined forces of a booming prison industry and workfare-oriented welfare in conjuction with conservative immigration policy create and condone the conditions for indentured slavery. Ending welfare will create a new underclass of women and children to be abused and exploited by the existing structures of domination.
Given the changing realities of class in our nation, widening gaps between the rich and poor, and the continued feminization of poverty, we desperately need a mass-based radical feminist movement that can build on the strength of the past, including the positive gains generated by reforms, while offering meaningful interrogation of existing feminist theory that was simply wrongminded while offering us new strategies. Significantly, a visionary movement would ground its work in the concrete conditions of the working class and poor women. | positive |
Lou Reads the Internet for YOU! – Giving Voice to the Things You Didn't Want to Hear About Skip to content Lou Reads the Internet for YOU! Giving Voice to the Things You Didn't Want to Hear About 2022 Update! YouTube Project Continues Slowly plus F Plus. Hi! Belated happy new year. As we get into February I wanted to post an update about what I’ve been up to regarding Lou Reads. I have slowly, but surely, working on moving all the original episodes to YouTube. I had been working with a plug-in for Final Cut Pro X but the last update broke it. After waiting for several months for the plug-in maker to update the thing I finally caved and got a legit subscription to Creative Cloud. So, One again I’ll be posting old episodes of Lou Reads to YouTube for archival purposes. https://youtu.be/Yg7UlF3KHlo In other news, I was on a fairly recent episode of The F Plus.

It’s been a while, hasn’t it? As you may have read on the Lou Reads Facebook page I haven’t felt very inspired to record anything for a while. I started and stopped several episodes on drugs and one about some kind of porn-related thing but it all felt kind of done. Well, I finally found something that made me want to read out loud again. And that something was the blog known as BiblicalGenderRoles.com. Now, this is a blog dedicated to the idea of men & women’s roles in marriage, and in life, are better if you live in accordance with the rules set forth in The Bible. Wife Spanking is a Christian Man’s Duty! Especially sad when she went to the trouble of dressing like a torpedo-breasted, high-class prostitute for you. Oh, well! As you’ll soon hear, this website has a fairly unmodern approach to relationships and that’s the point. Apparently the last 50 years or so have really dinged the whole “Men are leaders of the family” paradigm thingy. Especially because the Devil has encouraged people to live by the creed, “Don’t do stuff if you don’t wanna.” So, let’s say you don’t want your husband to spank you when you’ve been disobedient. Your rejection of his desire to give you a good butt whuppin’ is really the Devil encouraging you to reject your husband’s Biblically mandated right to exercise his dominion over you. See, when you say it like that it just makes sense. I hope you enjoy this long-overdue episode! Here are some supplemental books to get you headed down the right path. I’m sure they’re all super great or dumb. One of the two.

Lou Reads episode 188 – The Forums Measurection.com http://media.blubrry.com/loureads/p/content.blubrry.com/loureads/Lou_Reads_ep_188-Measurection_Forums.mp3 Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: RSS According to Medical News Today, “As much as 45 percent of men believe they have a small penis.” Certainly, there are a lot of factors to this low self-opinion. While I’m not going to offer a solid argument on all the reasons I think it’s safe to say that pornography featuring an over-indexing of massive dongs and general societal theories about big dicks’ connections to virility and manliness play a big part. Unfortunately, insulting the size of man’s penis is very common, can be seriously injurious and it’s one of the things in life that men can literally do nothing about outside of surgery and weird stretching rituals I’ve read about before. So, this month’s episode of Lou Reads revisits the world of men with penises which are smaller than the average. When we last ventured to this topic it was back in the first year of Lou Reads in an unfortunately titled episode, My Tiny Dick Forum of Horrors. Now, Measurection is a forum for men who consider themselves to have below-average length penises to come and share in a community of similarly endowed guys. The forum has been around for over a decade and was even a focus of a Weekend Web posting before I got involved in WW. As always, I have selected a bunch of random threads of interest to read from without comment. I hope you enjoy it. And as the owner of My Tiny Dick wrote in a comment on the episode about their site “You’d be surprised at how small a penis can be before women really considers it small.” Author King LouPosted on December 30, 2019 December 31, 2019 Categories Crackpots, Fetish, NSFW, True StoriesTags Embarassing Stories, Podcast, Small Penis, True StoriesLeave a comment on Lou Reads episode 188 – The Forums Measurection.com Lou Reads ep 187 – NSFW Stories from High School http://media.blubrry.com/loureads/p/content.blubrry.com/loureads/Lou_Reads_ep_188-NSFW_Tales_from_High_School.mp3 Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: RSS I don’t remember a lot from High School but what I do recall is mainly the dumb shit my friends and fellow classmates got into. Most of my stories from High School revolve around drinking too much and doing graffiti (separately). A kid did bring a gun to school but he was just showing off, not trying to kill everyone for some teen angsty reason. IIRC he was kicked out of the school at a later date for something minor that appeared to be the final straw/excuse the principle was looking for to get the guy out. This episode of Lou Reads I went to AskReddit and read a bunch of stories of people’s most NSFW memories from High School. I hope you enjoy it!

Oh, you don’t? Look, mom, I need to go…” Well, if you have then you should be checking out RUB MAPS instead of asking your mom for Asian Massage Parlour advice. RUB MAPS is a consumer review site for illicit massages with an entire, active forum for its users. Unfortunately you have to pay to see the reviews. Luckily you can see the forums for free and it’s a great source for all your “going to have sex with a masseuse” questions. This time around I didn’t actually read any of the site reviews but I may do so if I ever revisit.

Mostly they talk about how much they love anal porn but are sometimes disappointed by it. Occasionally they throw in some other topics as well. If I can see the red inside it’s over for me.

Puppy- Shutterstock
A Florida man is facing charges of animal cruelty after being shot by a puppy he was trying to kill.
According to the Associated Press, Jerry Allen Bradford, 37, was in the process of killing a litter of 3-month-old shepherd-mix dogs by shooting them in the head, when one that he was carrying got its tiny paw on the trigger of the gun and shot him instead.
According to Pensacola sheriff’s Sgt. Ted Roy, Bradford was trying to kill the puppies because he couldn’t find homes for them
A search at Bradford’s home turned up a shallow grave with three puppies in it.
The four remaining puppies were described as being in good health and were taken to Escambia County Animal Control, which planned to make them available for adoption. | positive |

Its hard to believe, but Bill Murray is 60 years old today. In 1976, he joined the cast of Saturday Night Live for the show's second season. After starring in Meatballs in 1979, Murray went on to star in a series of successful comedies in the 80s, including Caddyshack, Stripes, and Ghostbusters. He then went on to reinvent himself with his starring role in Rushmore in 1998, re-reinvent himself again with his starring role in Lost in Translation in 2003, kick ass in Jim Jarmusch films, accidentally star in Garfield, chill in his mansion in the middle of the zombie apocalypse in Zombieland, and hilariously passive-aggressively trash Ghostbusters 3 every chance he gets nowadays. In short, he is still a giant of comedy and a monument to reinvented relevance, and for this, we salute him. Here are some interesting Bill Murray facts:* Bill Murray had originally planned a career as a doctor, although he left university after being arrested for possession of marijuana. Truly, medicine's loss was ruefully existential arthouse cinema's gain.* Bill Murray is notoriously hard to pin down. If you want him to star in your film, you have to call his infrequently checked answering machine and wait for him to get back.* As a consequence of this, he has missed out on roles in films like Monsters Inc, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory and Who Framed Roger Rabbit.* Bill Murray was the singer in a band called the Dutch Masters as a teenager. What's more, he once played guitar onstage with Eric Clapton.* Bill Murray's final inaudible whisper to Scarlett Johansson at the end of Lost In Translation is one of cinema's greatest-ever mysteries. In 2007, a digital remaster discovered that he appeared to say, "I have to be leaving, but I won't let that come between us, OK?"* It's said that Bill Murray likes to sneak up behind strangers in New York, whisper, "Guess who?" And, when they turn around, tell them: "No one will ever believe you."Happy 60th Birthday, Bill! | positive |
December 2019 – A Dose of Dodosh Skip to content A Dose of Dodosh Your Rx for Successful Living Menu Home About Mark Dodosh Month: December 2019 There is no quid pro quo with God’s gift There are no strings attached with God’s gift of salvation. It is given freely to all who are willing to receive it. “We’ve got a Christmas gift for you.” That was the subject line of an email I received from a local retailer the other day. I like gifts as much as the next person, so I opened the email to find that the retailer wanted to “give” me a beautiful, tree-shaped candy dish (“regularly $16.99,” the email noted) provided I bought $50 or more of merchandise. It turns out my “gift” wasn’t a gift at all. That’s because a gift is only a gift when it is freely given. There are no strings attached with a true gift. To steal a much-heard phrase these days, there is no quid pro quo. I find it ironic that the retailer’s “gift” was offered during a season that celebrates the birth of the greatest gift giver of all time, Jesus Christ. Jesus, God’s son, came to earth in human form so that he could offer us the gift of salvation through the shedding of his blood and his death on the cross. For it took sacrificing a perfect, sinless man, Jesus, to atone for and put to death the sins of imperfect, sinful beings such as me and you. With true gifts, the gift giver pays the price for the gift. The recipient pays nothing. It is the same with God’s gift of salvation. God loves us deeply and wants meaningful relationships with each of us, but a sinless, holy God cannot have relationships with sinful beings. Jesus paid the price to restore our relationship with God by giving his own life to cancel out our sins “once for all,” as it says in the Book of Hebrews. There are no strings attached with God’s gift of salvation. It is given freely to all who are willing to receive it. Therein lays the catch, and it is true of all gifts. A gift only becomes of value when someone receives it, opens it and puts it to good use. Have you ever made or bought a gift for someone, only to have the person say, “I really can’t accept that.” Or they accept it, but you know they never intend to use it. How disappointing it is to the gift giver. God feels the same way when it comes to the gift of salvation. I do not presume to know your relationship with God. If you already have received his gift of salvation, I hope you’ll consider sharing this post with someone else. And if you have not, it isn’t too late to say “yes” to receiving a gift you will never want to return. This is my Christmas gift to you. Thanks for opening it. Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

Waisea Nayacalevu leaves the pitch during Wednesday's defeat to Australia
Fiji winger Waisea Nayacalevu has been ruled out of the remainder of the World Cup after injuring his knee against Australia in midweek.
Nayacalevu picked up the injury during the Aussies' 28-13 victory at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.
Fiji coach John McKee, who was unable to put a timescale on the 25-year-old's recovery period, has sent the player back to his club Stade Francais for treatment and rehabilitation.
Montpellier winger Timoci Nagusa has been drafted into the squad as a replacement.
Next up for Fiji - who lost their opening match to England last Friday - is Wales on Thursday and McKee is hopeful scrumhalf Nikola Matawalu, who suffered bruising to his lower back against Australia, will be fit for his side's return to the Millennium Stadium. | positive |
India is leaving the Third World so fast that it is almost possible to watch it happeneing.
Many write off India as backward and poor. The reality is that its billion people have a booming economy, excellent education and limitless ambition – and they are ready to take over the world. America, Asia, Europe and the Middle East face a reversal of fortune that will astonish us and overpower us if we do not revise our rapidly dating assumptions and prejudices.
Yes India still has poverty with the power to turn the stomach. Yes, there are still elephants striding nonchalantly through the boiling city traffic and cows on the loose in the heart of a megalopolis which crams the population half the size of Australia into fewer than 750 square kilometers. But heartbreaking as these images are, they are not a true indication of the new civilisation which is growing here in the world’s largest free country.
In India, the amazing thing is that all the intelligent people are optimistic. The economists, the writers and the thinking classes in general, are full of an infectious patriotic delight at the way their mighty country is preparing for world power. No douby some unpredictable disaster could unhorse this new hope. A recent article in Forbes mentioned that India would have the maximum number of Billionaire’s in 10 years time.
The world is paying too much attention to China and too little to India. America and Europe, in particular, simply havnt been able to cope with the threat India’s information technology industry poses to their own jobs. “They could not believe Indians could do this. To them, this was still a country of snake charmers.
Read
In any Indian there’s now a sense of tremendous belief in the future. Even five years ago there wasn’t. We used to be apologetic about our identity, today we want to flash our identity – as Americans have always done. The lower middle class used to lament that the rich would get richer while they stayed stuck or even sank lower into poverty. They no longer believe that.”
While most of the world has been looking at China, or has been distracted by America’s clumsy and self destructive attemt to spread freedom with smart bombs and tanks, India has been incubating an economic and social revolution that is just as significant. With a population of one billion, most of them young and huge number in their 20’s, it is not far behing China’s 1.3 billion in sheer numbers.
But it has significant advantages which China does not possess and may never achieve. China is a police state with muzzled media and is run by a rigid, secretive elite wothout the rule of law. Crucially in India it is the poor who vote most of all and, as a result they have astonishing power. It is one of the many examples of the way in which the old British India is now utterly dead, but now ideas which were truly British have been successfully adapted to Indian needs.
Now you know why the slums are not bulldozed and their inhabitants rounded up and expelled as they might be in China or other parts of the world, and why nothing is done to prevent migration to cities by poor country families hoping to better themselves. India speaks English and in – in one of Britan’s greatest and least noted achievements – is the greatest functioing democracy in the history of the world. A genuinely free press is increasingly bold in exposing corruption and abuse of authority. At the last elections 400 million people voted and the existing government was evicted from power without violence.
And now India has what must be surely the world’s biggest and fastest growing middle class. Thanks to the economic reforms in the early Nineties, and to long quiet growth before that, this confident growing class now has the purchasing power to sustain lasting economic growth and the political power to demand serious reform.
The reverence for education and self improvement here is comparable to America in its great days, when everyone assumed that tommorrow would be better than today, and was determined to make sure it would be. A wise investor here would be setting up as many high quality, affordable private schools as he could build.
We should take nothing for granted about India except that it is changing with great speed and that it is, just now, one of the most hopeful places in a world badly in need of a new great power that believes in freedom and democracy. | positive |
After a five-month trial, and seven days of jury deliberation, Mark Goudeau was convicted yesterday in 68 out of 72 counts including all nine “Baseline Killer” murders in Phoenix, AZ. He was caught in December 2006 through the use of DNA evidence.
Also residing in Phoenix, AZ is pretend psychic (some redundancy there – all psychics are pretend) Allison Dubois, of the TV series “Medium” (and more recently “Housewives of Beverly Hills”) fame. Of course Allison, back before Goudeau was caught, couldn’t resist getting in on the act, playing the usual guessing games in the hope that her guesses would be close to the actual person they would eventually catch. As I wrote in July 2006 in Medium guesses about serial killer, Dubois’s guesses were generic, just playing the odds and utterly useless in helping the police catch the killer. Five months later they caught Goudeau, and as I wrote in Allison Dubois no help in catching killer, her guesses also turned out to be totally wrong. Allison Dubois told dumb reporter Bert Sass in July 2006 that the Baseline Killer:
Is not from Arizona
Is ready to bolt.. “I would look in California”
Didn't have a father in his household growing up
Had a mother he didn't respect but that he, on a strange level, loved and is a little protective of when somebody says something about his mother. It's a love-hate which he has for her…
Tucks his long hair up in his hat to hide it
Was in and out of juvenile detention as he was growing up
All completely wrong. (Read Allison Dubois no help in catching killer for the details.)
It is true that an earlier composite police sketch of a possible suspect showed a man with a hat and long hair. But I’m sure Allison didn’t see the newspaper reports of that, oh no.
Also, although Dubois was apparently able to see Goudeau’s non-existent juvenile detention, she completely missed the fact that he had spent 13 years in adult jail, in trouble for a variety of things including charges of kidnapping, sexual assault and aggravated assault in the beating of a woman – information that might have been useful to the police in chasing down a killer/rapist. Assuming you knew such things using your awesome psychic powers.
It is clear we can now say with extreme certitude that Allison Dubois was totally wrong and completely useless in capturing this high profile killer who terrorized her home town for over a year before he was caught.
Now of course, I know that prosecutors sometimes get the wrong person and that innocent people are occasionally found guilty. (And some still claim he is innocent.) But, the thing is, I’ve watched several episodes of that dreary “Medium” TV program that is supposed to be based on Dubois’s actual life, and one thing that happens on the TV show is that if the cops have the wrong person, the TV “Allison Dubois” provides accurate information so that the real culprit is caught and the innocent person freed. In fact, that happens regularly. If Goudeau really were innocent, now would be the time for the real Allison Dubois to lead police to the real killer. But of course, she won’t as she has no such abilities. Her website has no mention of either Goudeau or the Baseline Killings, despite her eagerness to be quoted before Goudeau was caught. And, fortunately, police don’t pay any attention to her anyway, despite what she claims. What a waste of space she is.

Maryland law says that "A person may not store or leave a loaded firearm in a location where the person knew or should have known that an unsupervised child would gain access to the firearm." The offense is considered a misdemeanor, subject to a fine of up to $1,000.
We don't know yet whether the law might apply in the case of Isaiah Deloatch, the 4-year-old who found a gun in his home in Southwest Baltimore and fatally shot himself. Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby's office is working with police but has not said whether any charges may be filed in the case. It doesn't really matter, though; a $1,000 fine is almost certainly irrelevant to a parent who has lost a child in this way.
As far as gun safety advocates are concerned, Maryland has some of the best laws in the country. In addition to the prohibition on leaving guns where minors might have access to them, gun dealers are required to sell only weapons with a "integrated mechanical safety device" that is "designed to prevent the handgun from being discharged unless the device has been deactivated." Older guns that lack such safety features must be sold with an external safety lock that achieves the same purpose. The state maintains a roster of handguns eligible for sale in the state, evaluated for, among other things, "reliability as to safety." And Maryland is one of only three states with laws related to so-called "smart gun" technology. The Handgun Roster Board is required to report annually on the status of guns with integrated technology that prevents them from being fired by anyone other than an authorized user. Such guns either use biometric identification, such as fingerprints, or for the user to be carrying some kind of token, like a watch or key fob, that communicates with the gun. Finally, the Gun Safety Act of 2013 requires a gun safety course for those who apply for handgun purchase licenses, and that training includes safe storage techniques for guns in the home.
Still, the state doesn't go around checking whether guns are locked up or whether they are left loaded. All the laws in the world are of little use in preventing tragedies like this one if individual gun owners don't take the danger of improperly secured firearms seriously.
We don't know any details about how the gun Isaiah found was stored, so we can't speak to what happened in his case. But there is a tension between the reasons many people keep guns in the home and the steps necessary to keep them from being used improperly. The best practices for gun safety — for example, those listed by the National Sports Shooting Foundation — include storing firearms unloaded, in a locked cabinet, safe or gun vault, with an additional trigger lock or similar device, and storing the ammunition separately in another locked container. Those who keep firearms in the home to protect themselves from intruders may see such precautions as defeating the purpose — imagining that the gun may do no good if it takes so long to access.
(The NRA, incidentally, also insists that guns should be stored unloaded but is otherwise less prescriptive, saying, "Many factors must be considered when deciding where and how to store guns. A person's particular situation will be a major part of the consideration" and adding the disclaimer that "mechanical locking devices, like the mechanical safeties built into guns, can fail.")
But what is important to realize is that the risk of accidental injury or death from improperly stored firearms is substantial. Everytown for Gun Safety, a group that advocates for tighter gun laws, issued a report last summer concluding that federal data on accidental handgun deaths of children significantly understate the problem. The Centers for Disease Control reported an average of 62 unintentional deaths of children every year from 2007-2011, but the group's analysis of publicly reported gun deaths for the 12 months ending in December 2013 found more than 100. About two-thirds of the deaths took place in the child's home or family car, and the vast majority could have been prevented if the guns had been stored locked and unloaded.
The NRA and other Second Amendment absolutists tend to fall back on spurious comparisons when the subject of accidental handgun deaths comes up — for example, the fact that far more children die in auto accidents than from guns. True enough. But our technology, laws and culture have made steady advances over the decades to make cars safer, from child seat use to new requirements for backup cameras. The same can't be said for guns.
In 2002, New Jersey passed a law saying that 30 months after smart guns are available for sale anywhere in the United States, only such guns will be legal for sale in that state. Consequently, the gun industry and its supporters have applied intense pressure against any dealer who attempts to sell them — including in 2014 a Rockville gun dealer who dropped his plans to sell a German made smart gun after being the target of protests and death threats. Now New Jersey lawmakers are seeking to soften the 2002 law to require that smart guns be sold alongside traditional ones within three years after the technology is on the market — and the NRA is fighting even that, arguing that it's a stealth effort to ban firearms altogether.
But until we take the real and present threat of accidental child shootings more seriously than the phantom one of banning guns, tragedies like the death of Isaiah Deloatch will happen week after week. | positive |
GLENDALE -- The Dodgers on Monday made their second round of roster cuts, trimming five more players from the roster. Matt Magill was optioned to minor league camp, while J.C. Boscan, Clint Robinson, Brendan Harris and Carlos Frias were reassigned to the minor league side.
Magill got the final two outs of the eighth inning on Monday, and in three games this spring struck out six and allowed one run in 5⅔ innings. Magill, 24, entered the season with two option years remaining.
Boscan, 34, has played in the major leagues in parts of each of the last four seasons with the Braves and Cubs. The catcher, a non-roster invitee, appeared in five Cactus League games and had a single and two walks in six plate appearances.
Frias, 24, reached Double-A Chattanooga for the first time last year and was 8-7 with a 3.31 ERA in 28 games across three levels in 2013, including 22 starts. Frias last year struck out 105 and walked 41 in 130⅓ innings. In his first big league camp as a non-roster invitee Frias pitched in four Cactus League games, allowing five runs on eight hits in three innings, with two strikeouts. He faced five batters Monday, and retired none of them, allowing four hits and a walk.
Robinson hit .254/.353/.421 with 23 doubles and 13 home runs in 111 games between Double-A New Hamsphire and Triple-A Buffalo in 2013. The 29-year-old non-roster invitee is one of five Dodgers to have played all 14 Cactus League games so far, and was 8-for-23 (.348) with a home run. He seems ticketed for first base with the Isotopes and his fourth straight year in Triple-A.
Harris, 33, saw time with the Angels in 44 major league games in 2013. The utility infielder was another member of the 14-game club this spring, and in Cactus League action was 3-for-19 (.158) with three walks.
With the cuts, there are now 43 players remaining in camp, including 24 pitchers, 19 position players and among them eight non-roster invitees. | positive |

Ennui ≡ Menu Home Ennui Dave Schuler September 24, 2006 I’ve been having a hard time working up the energy to post. Part of it is that raising two energetic Samoyed puppies is absorbing what energy I have; another reason is that I don’t find a great deal of what’s been going on over the last week (or what’s been said about them) interesting enough to weigh in on. Osama bin Laden? He doesn’t matter. Neither does Hugo Chavez or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. I do have one small thing to say about those two: they weren’t talking to us. They were talking to the leaders and citizens of the countries known as the Nonaligned Movement which, since it originally began as a group of countries presumably not aligned with either the United States or the Soviet Union, might be better considered now as the “Movement of Countries Aligned Against Us”. I’m sure that their words had great resonance within many of those countries. I’m also sure that Andorra and Sierra Leone would like veto-wielding seats on the United Nations Security Council as would the other countries in the General Assembly. They aren’t getting them. I guess that’s what comes of holding on to an alliance of sixty years ago. But I’ve written about that before. 0 comments… add one Leave a Comment Name * Email * Website Comment Cancel reply you MUST enable javascript to be able to comment Δ Decisions The deal on coercive interrogation Categories Categories Select Category Addition Afghanistan Africa agriculture America Anthropology Antiques Archaeology Art Astronomy Autobiography Avian flu Be careful what you wish for Blogging Books Brazil Britain Bunnies Business Business and Economics California Canada Carnival of the Dogs Carnival of the Liberated Carnival of the Recipes Carnival of the Vanities Central America Chicago China Computers and technology Connections Council selections COVID-19 Crime Cuba Darfur Day Book Did you ever notice?

It started as a joke, then a dare, and now it’s a reality for Kelti Boissonneault and Chris Fischer who opened up their own microbrewery ‘Theoretically Brewing Company’ in December, after years of planning.
The Lethbridge based company produces eight different types of beer, and averages 1000 litres a week.
“Craft brewing goes back to the thinking that we are going to produce small, well designed batches,” manager Kelti Boissonneault said. “Local ingredients are a huge part of it. Every craft brewer tries to source as local as possible.”
Theoretically Brewing Company is lucky, they are located in an agricultural rich environment.
“Farmers come into the brewery saying ‘hey I’m thinking of planting hops, would you be interested?’ And we say yes!” Boissonneault said.
Brewing beer is one of Canada’s oldest industries. Alberta is at an advantage because of the access to malted barley, hops and water. New regulations in the province have also allowed craft breweries to enter the popular market.
“The Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC) cut minimum capacity requirements in the province, that’s why in 2014 we went from having 10 breweries in the province to 40,” Boissonneault said.
Both Boissonneault and her partner, Brewmaster Chris Fischer, stress the importance of supporting the local economy. From ingredients to equipment, the pint size facility is almost one hundred percent local.
Theoretically Brewing is one of many microbreweries that have popped up in the province over the last several years, and consumers are taking notice.
“They’re choosing to drink the fresh local craft beer, instead of the six months on the shelf domestic beer,” Boissonneault said.
The craft beer industry is distinctive; each Brewmaster has their own take on traditional styles of beer, and possibly one day, they will develop specific brews that reflect their unique towns.
“I’m really hoping each town in Alberta will have its own version of beer, its own individual type of style,” Fischer said. “You can go to the local pub and have a beer there and say this is kind of like the beer from Medicine Hat, only it shares characteristics from Taber, or Fort Macleod.”
Theoretically Brewing Company has no plans to expand into other markets. Instead, they will remain a local operation.
“We’re very community minded, we want to stay in Lethbridge, we want to stay small, and we want to focus on this town.” | positive |
This summer marks the official launch of music programming at Basilica Hudson, a waterfront arts and performance space located inside a reclaimed 19th-century factory in Hudson, New York. The artist-owned venue, which offers views of the Catskill Mountains, is run by creative directors Melissa Auf der Maur (formerly of Hole and Smashing Pumpkins) and filmmaker Tony Stone.
Presented in association with Pitchfork, the Basilica Music Festival is a two-day event taking place August 10-11. While it's dubbed a "festival", it is not a fest in the traditional sense-- it's more of a uniquely crafted weekend getaway experience. Only a limited number of tickets are available.
We've already announced the core events that will take place, including a showcase called "Metal Machine Music: Solo Noise Artists and Their Machines" organized by Brandon Stosuy's Show No Mercy, a day called "Neidan!" curated by Brian DeRan of Leg Up! Management/Gleam House, and an art exhibition called "Suggested Destination".
In addition to previously announced acts Liturgy, Gang Gang Dance, Prince Rama, Mick Barr, and others, we're happy to add more components to the weekend: Blazer, a New Mexico-based sound system owned and operated by Excepter's Nathan Corbin and specializing in heavy dub, roots, ragga and dancehall, will be featured on Saturday afternoon. "Neidan!" will also feature performances from the Psychic Paramount, Hiro Kone, and Mike Fellows (aka Miighty Flashlight, ex-Rites of Spring). We're also introducing an early-evening sunset cruise on the Hudson on Saturday.
Follow the Basilica Music Festival on Twitter for additional visual artists, bands, and events. More info can be found on the festival's website, including specific details on travel and accommodations (camping, motels, B&Bs). Tickets are on sale here. Individual day tickets for Friday and Saturday are $15 each. Advance weekend packages are $25.
The Basilica Hudson will also host concerts through the fall, including Godspeed You! Black Emperor on September 20, and Grimes, Elite Gymnastics, and Myths on September 25.

Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump on Saturday accused former primary rivals Jeb Bush and Sen. Lindsey Graham of breaking a candidates’ pledge to the party’s eventual nominee.
“Jeb Bush isn’t an honorable person. Lindsey Graham isn’t an honorable person,” Trump said at a rally in Spokane, Washington, ahead of the state’s May 24 primary.
All 17 major GOP presidential candidates in September 2015 purportedly signed the loyalty pledge, which was issued by the Republican National Committee and also committed the signees to not running as an independent or write-in candidate, or supporting a candidate from another party.
“Bush signed a pledge. While signing it, he fell asleep,” Trump told the crowd Saturday, returning to his knock on the former Florida GOP governor as “super low energy.”
The RNC declared Trump the presumptive nominee after his decisive primary win Tuesday in Indiana that knocked out his last two party rivals -- Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
Trump suggested Saturday that he is going after Bush and Graham again because they, in the aftermath of his Indiana win, are not supporting him.
“Jeb Bush and Lindsey Graham are light-weights,” continued Trump, who was perhaps hardest on Graham, a South Carolina senator.
“When we went to South Carolina, he thought he had power. My 10-year-old son Barron had more power,” Trump said. “A total dope constantly on TV knocking me.” | positive |
Mr. Xi has accompanied the demands for unity with a vivid warning to officials who step out of line. In the past week, he oversaw the abrupt purge of Sun Zhengcai, a onetime contender for promotion at the congress. Mr. Sun, 53, had been the party secretary of Chongqing, a city in southwest China, until his dismissal in mid-July.
The party announced last Monday that he was under investigation for violations of “discipline” — usually a euphemism for corruption — and Mr. Sun has since been pilloried in official media. Provincial leaders, including many with a shot at promotion, have called meetings to denounce Mr. Sun as a “tiger,” or corrupt senior official.
“At this point, we can’t say for sure he will be the last big tiger to be brought down before the opening of the party congress,” said Prof. Ding Xueliang, a political scientist at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology who studies the Chinese Communist Party. “We don’t know; other leaders don’t know either.”
For now, Mr. Xi appears to be seeking to ensure that his second-term lineup includes younger loyalists who will defend him and his policies for years to come. Several are poised to join the Politburo, a council of 25 senior central, provincial and military leaders. Up to 11 members of the Politburo are likely to retire at the congress, including five members of the Politburo Standing Committee, a more powerful body with seven members.
The negotiations over the new lineup happen in secret. But the burst of propaganda and warnings appears intended to pressure officials and retired leaders to go along with Mr. Xi’s wishes over who goes up and who steps down.
Mr. Xi is by the estimate of many observers China’s most powerful leader since Deng Xiaoping, who died in 1997. While the military does not have much direct say in politics, its support is essential for Mr. Xi’s long-term authority, Professor Ding said.
“Xi Jinping has spent more time on the military than any other leader,” Professor Ding said by telephone. “He knows clearly that eventually, if he wants to keep in power, if he wants to concentrate power even more, he must make sure the army is with him.” | positive |

Parameters qos: new value for SubscriberQos const SubscriberListener *get_listener() const¶ Retrieves the attached SubscriberListener. Return Pointer to the SubscriberListener ReturnCode_t set_listener(SubscriberListener *listener)¶ Modifies the SubscriberListener, sets the mask to StatusMask::all() Return RETCODE_OK Parameters listener: new value for SubscriberListener ReturnCode_t set_listener(SubscriberListener *listener, const StatusMask &mask)¶ Modifies the SubscriberListener. Return RETCODE_OK Parameters listener: new value for the SubscriberListener mask: StatusMask that holds statuses the listener responds to. DataReader *create_datareader(TopicDescription *topic, const DataReaderQos &reader_qos, DataReaderListener *listener = nullptr, const StatusMask &mask = StatusMask::all())¶ This operation creates a DataReader. The returned DataReader will be attached and belong to the Subscriber. Return Pointer to the created DataReader. nullptr if failed. Parameters topic: Topic the DataReader will be listening. reader_qos: QoS of the DataReader. listener: Pointer to the listener (default: nullptr) mask: StatusMask that holds statuses the listener responds to (default: all). DataReader *create_datareader_with_profile(TopicDescription *topic, const std::string &profile_name, DataReaderListener *listener = nullptr, const StatusMask &mask = StatusMask::all())¶ This operation creates a DataReader.

Parameters topic: Topic the DataReader will be listening. profile_name: DataReader profile name. listener: Pointer to the listener (default: nullptr) mask: StatusMask that holds statuses the listener responds to (default: all). ReturnCode_t delete_datareader(const DataReader *reader)¶ This operation deletes a DataReader that belongs to the Subscriber. The delete_datareader operation must be called on the same Subscriber object used to create the DataReader. If delete_datareader is called on a different Subscriber, the operation will have no effect and it will return an error. Return RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET if the datareader does not belong to this subscriber, RETCODE_OK if it is correctly deleted and RETCODE_ERROR otherwise. Parameters reader: DataReader to delete DataReader *lookup_datareader(const std::string &topic_name) const¶ This operation retrieves a previously-created DataReader belonging to the Subscriber that is attached to a Topic with a matching topic_name. If no such DataReader exists, the operation will return nullptr. If multiple DataReaders attached to the Subscriber satisfy this condition, then the operation will return one of them. It is not specified which one. Return Pointer to a previously created DataReader created on a Topic with that topic_name Parameters topic_name: Name of the topic associated to the DataReader ReturnCode_t get_datareaders(std::vector<DataReader*> &readers) const¶ This operation allows the application to access the DataReader objects.

Return RETCODE_OK ReturnCode_t end_access()¶ Indicates that the application has finished accessing the data samples in DataReader objects managed by the Subscriber. Return RETCODE_OK ReturnCode_t notify_datareaders() const¶ This operation invokes the operation on_data_available on the DataReaderListener objects attached to contained DataReader entities. This operation is typically invoked from the on_data_on_readers operation in the SubscriberListener. That way the SubscriberListener can delegate to the DataReaderListener objects the handling of the data. Return RETCODE_OK ReturnCode_t delete_contained_entities()¶ Deletes all contained DataReaders. If the DataReaders have any QueryCondition or ReadCondition, they are deleted before the DataReader itself. Return RETCODE_OK if successful, an error code otherwise ReturnCode_t set_default_datareader_qos(const DataReaderQos &qos)¶ This operation sets a default value of the DataReader QoS policies which will be used for newly created DataReader entities in the case where the QoS policies are defaulted in the create_datareader operation. This operation will check that the resulting policies are self consistent; if they are not, the operation will have no effect and return false. The special value DATAREADER_QOS_DEFAULT may be passed to this operation to indicate that the default QoS should be reset back to the initial values the factory would use, that is the values that would be used if the set_default_datareader_qos operation had never been called. Return RETCODE_INCONSISTENT_POLICY if the Qos is not self consistent and RETCODE_OK if the qos is changed correctly. Parameters qos: new value for DataReaderQos to set as default const DataReaderQos &get_default_datareader_qos() const¶ This operation returns the default value of the DataReader QoS, that is, the QoS policies which will be used for newly created DataReader entities in the case where the QoS policies are defaulted in the create_datareader operation.

The city council of Tromso in Norway adopted a resolution calling on its residents to boycott products made in the West Bank, eastern Jerusalem and the Golan Heights.
The resolution was adopted Wednesday by a majority of 25 council members who supported it, according to the municipality’s website. Seventeen members voted against the resolution, which stated that “the municipal council encourages Tromso Municipality’s residents to boycott goods and services produced in the Occupied Territories.”
The resolution, introduced by left-wing local politicians and opposed by centrists who argued foreign policy was beyond the municipality’s expertise, also stated that “Tromso municipality will therefore refrain from buying Israeli goods and services produced in occupied Palestinian territory.”Whereas the resolution explicitly called for boycotting goods from what the international community regards as land occupied by Israel, it called only for checking the provenance of goods from other disputed territories.“The city council asks the chief executive to ensure that Tromso Municipality requires documentation on goods to make sure they are not from occupied areas, such as occupied territories in Palestine, Western Sahara, and the like, in cases where this is a relevant issue,” the text reads.The draft resolution was filed by Mads Gilbert and Jens Ingvald Olsen of the Red Party, who titled it “halt in purchases of Israeli goods and services produced in the occupied Palestinian territory.”Gilbert published a book in 2009 in which he accused the Israeli army of deliberately targeting women and children in order to kill them.“The Israelis knew well what they were doing. The purpose was to collectively punish the entire Palestinian population of Gaza [with] a merciless slaughter of women and children, old and young, men and women,” the book, “Eyes in Gaza,” read.Gilbert has defended Hamas’ rule in the Gaza Strip as that of a democratically-elected government, according to The Guardian.He also said he viewed the perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks on the United States in 2001 as having had a “moral right” to strike since he viewed them as oppressed.“The attack on New York did not come as a surprise after the policy that the West has led during the last decades,” Gilbert told the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet on Sept. 30, 2001. “The oppressed also have a moral right to attack the USA with any weapon they can come up with.”When asked if he supported a terror attack on the US, Gilbert said, “Terror is a bad weapon but the answer is yes within the context which I have mentioned.”

Preserved fossil represents oldest record of parental care in group of prehistoric reptiles
A fossil specimen discovered by a farmer in China represents the oldest record of post-natal parental care, dating back to the Middle Jurassic.The tendency for adults to care for their offspring beyond birth is a key feature of the reproductive biology of living archosaurs – birds and crocodilians – with the latter protecting their young from potential predators and birds, not only providing protection but also provision of food.This behaviour seems to have evolved numerous times in vertebrates, with evidence of a long evolutionary history in diapsids – a group of amniotes which developed holes in each side of the skull about 300 million years ago and from which all existing lizards, snakes and birds are descendedHowever, unequivocal evidence of post-natal parental care is extremely rare in the fossil record and is only reported for two types of dinosaurs and varanopid ‘pelycosaurs’ – a reptile which resembled a monitor lizard.A new study by the Institute of Geology, Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, Beijing; the University of Lincoln, UK; and Hokkaido University, Japan, presents new evidence of post-natal parental care in Philydrosauras, a choristodere from the Yixian Formation of western Liaoning Province, China. Choristoderes are a group of relatively small aquatic and semi-aquatic diapsid reptiles which emerged in the Middle Jurassic Period more than 160 million years ago.The team reviewed the fossil record of reproduction in this group using exceptionally preserved skeletons of the aquatic choristoderan Philydrosauras. The specimen was donated to the Jinzhou Paleontological Museum in Jinzhou City four years ago by a local farmer who discovered the skeleton.The skeletons are of an apparent family group with an adult, surrounded by six juveniles of the same species. Given that the smaller individuals are of similar sizes, the group interpreted this as indicating an adult with its offspring, apparently from the same clutch.Dr Charles Deeming, from the School of Life Sciences, University of Lincoln, UK, said: “That Philydrosauras shows parental care of the young after hatching suggests protection by the adult, presumably against predators. Their relatively small size would have meant that choristoderes were probably exposed to high predation pressure and strategies, such as live birth, and post-natal parental care may have improved survival of the offspring. This specimen represents the oldest record of post-natal parental care in diapsids to our knowledge and is the latest in an increasingly detailed collection of choristoderes exhibiting different levels of reproduction and parental care.”A test of whether post-natal parental care is an ancestral behaviour that has persisted in the evolutionary development of amniotes will depend on future fossil discoveries.The study is published in Geosciences Journal. | positive |
Tire Rotation = It’s Worth It! – project:keira Skip to content project:keira Raine's 2014 Nissan Frontier 4X4 Primary Menu project:keira Home TL:DR The Lift The System Custom Mods The Audio Guide Learn Something Hello Keira? @ Raine Disclaimer Search for: Home Wheels, Tires & Brakes Tire Rotation = It’s Worth It! How-To's and Useful Guides Wheels, Tires & Brakes Tire Rotation = It’s Worth It! April 19, 2021 TL-DR: Rotate your tires on a regular basis, it does work. Tire Rotation is an often discussed topic, one that many vehicle drivers may have heard of, but not all understand what it actually does. Tire rotation is not about the wheels and tires turning – it’s referring to the practice of periodically removing the wheels (which the tires are mounted to, of course) and re-installing them to different positions on the vehicle. Periodical tire rotation serves many purposes, such as the following: Rotating your tires maximizes overall tire tread wear to get the most usable life; Rotating your tires allows you to check the balance of each wheel and tire assembly (and rebalance if needed, but this is a separate topic); Rotating your tires lets you inspect the tire and tread for any uneven wear, puncture, or imminent damage. Tire rotation is also important because the front tires and the rear tires do different jobs. On any typical 4-wheel equipped, front-engine, front steering passenger vehicle the front tires will always wear faster than rear tires. The process is slower on RWD (Rear Wheel Drive) vehicles and faster on FWD (Front Wheel Drive) vehicles; this is not a myth or an imaginary thing – it is a proven fact simply because of all of the things each of the tires have to do. Consider these details: The front tires carry the weight of the engine 100% of the time; The front tires are responsible for dictating the direction your vehicle is traveling (steering); The front tires have to control a majority of the vehicle’s weight (approx. 60-80%) under deceleration (braking); The rear tires apply power to the ground to move your truck (in RWD mode); The rear tires carry the bulk of the weight of any cargo you load into the truck bed. So okay: tire rotation – most people do it (or pay someone to do it), some people think it’s a waste of time. Well, I’m going to explain to you why tire rotation is a good thing and something you should do regularly to maximize your vehicle’s overall traction level (a.k.a. “level of grip”), improve traction balance (a.k.a “overall stability”) and decrease tire wear (a.k.a. “usable lifespan”). DISCLAIMER: I am not claiming to be a tire expert or some licensed tire rotation professional or whatever. Everything I am explaining is based on personal experience only, but for accuracy purposes, I asked a few people in the wheel/suspension/tire industry to read this article first to check for any errors, provide any advice, and tell me if I needed to make any revisions. The method and reasoning explained in this write-up are based on what I choose to do with my truck. If you choose to do a different method, cool – good for you ? BASELINE DETAILS Let’s start with our humble, reliable D40 Nissan Frontier (of course!) with a brand new set of tires. It doesn’t matter what brand, size, or type – but let’s keep it simple and say that all 4 tires are the same brand, the same model, the same size, the same age, and have the same tire pressure. Let’s also remove any external factors out of the equation and state that the truck is always properly aligned, and driving conditions are the same typical daily usage – same weather conditions, same on-pavement conditions (so just to be clear, off-roading is not part of this discussion). This way the only variables you need to pay attention to are: Rate of tire wear; and Position of the tire on the vehicle. When it comes to the rotation method, my personal preference (and what I’ll use here) is the Rearward Cross. The “Rearward Cross” method means that every time you rotate the tires, the front tires will move rearward and cross over to the other side, whereas the rear tires will just move forward (but stay on the same side). With this method, each tire will spend an even amount of time in all 4 positions on the vehicle after 4 tire rotations: Speaking of, for this particular topic we’ll say that our sample tire at the front axle position takes 2 years to wear out to 0% tread, but takes 6 years to wear out to 0% tread at the rear axle position. This calculates out to the front tires wearing down at a wear rate of 50% per year, and the rear tires wearing down at a rate of 16% per year: Finally, we’ll use 20% tread OR 6 years of tire life as the threshold limit for safely requiring a tire replacement (even if many people take the risk and run their tires farther before replacing them). So our working parameters for this example, in summary: We’re using the Frontier as the test subject, not some other vehicle; All 4 tires are identical – same brand, model, size, age, and tire pressure; All 4 tires are not directional or asymmetrical; Weather, road-conditions are identical; The vehicle is always properly aligned; We’re using the “Rearward Cross” rotation method; We’re basing rotations by time, not mileage (it’s easier to understand); Front tire position in our example takes 2 years to wear out to 0% tread (so 50% yearly); Rear tire position in our example takes 6 years to wear out to 0% tread (so about 16% yearly); When a tire drops down past 20% tread or gets to 6-years old, it must be replaced. All set? Okay. Yearly Comparison: No Rotation vs. Rotation, Side By Side In the following illustrations, the truck shown on the left will remain as is – meaning no tire rotation at all, so you can see how tire wear decreases overall stability (traction bias), decreases steering and braking traction, and reduces a tire’s overall usability over time. In contrast, the truck shown on the right will be rotating its tires annually. Here’s what happens: YEAR ONE If you don’t rotate: After 1 year, your front tires go from 100% down to 50% tread, and your rear tires go from 100% down to 84% tread. Before we go further, this is the perfect time for me to point out something I’ve seen many people do that is incorrect: Do NOT make the common mistake of adding tire wear together and averaging it out to say you have “65% tread” overall! This is where many people get it wrong. Tire wear between 4 individual tires is not cumulative; all 4 tires wear at a different rate, and after 1 year they do not magically average out to 65% at all four corners! Each tire wears at a different rate based on the position on the vehicle and will stay that way unless rotated to a different axle position (front or rear). If you do rotate: After 1 year, you rotate your tires and your front tires are now at 84% and the rear tires are now at 50%. Overall traction (“Grip Ratio”) is higher at the front, where it matters because the front tires need traction to steer your vehicle and to slow it down under braking, so this is what is ideal. Let’s continue to year #2: YEAR TWO If you don’t rotate: After 2 years, your front tires go from 50% down to 25% tread, and your rear tires go from 84% down to 71% tread. Overall traction and traction balance is biased the wrong way (towards the rear) meaning you have less braking and steering control at the front. This also means your braking distances will be longer and you’ll most likely understeer (not steer enough) during critical maneuvers or accident avoidance. If you do rotate: After 2 years, you rotate your tires and your front tires are now at 42% and the rear tires are now at 42%. Overall traction and traction balance is equal on all four corners since all 4 tires are worn down the same amount, so this is ideal. Your tires have an even amount of traction on all four corners. Let’s continue to year #3: YEAR THREE If you don’t rotate: After 3 years of not rotating anything, your important front tires now have 12.5% tread left, yet your rear tires are still at 59.3% tread. Overall traction and traction balance is dangerously biased the wrong way (towards the rear) meaning even less braking and steering control. Also, since the fronts are already below our 20% threshold, after only 3 years you now have to buy a new pair of front tires. If you do rotate: After 3 years, you rotate your tires and your front tires are now at 35.3% and the rear tires are now at 21%. Overall front traction is still higher and traction balance is pretty close, so although all four tires are worn down, they can still be used safely. Let’s continue to year #4: YEAR FOUR If you don’t rotate: After 4 years of not rotating anything, your newly bought front tires go from 100% down to 50% tread, and your 4-year-old rear tires go from 60% down to 50% tread. All four tires may have even tread wear by measurement, but don’t forget an important fact: Your front tires are only 1 year old and are at 50% tread, but your rear tires are four years old at 50% tread. As tires age, they lose elasticity, the rubber degrades, and although all four tires have the same tread depth externally, the older tires will not have the same amount of grip. At this point, the consolation prize here is that you might have a slight forward bias in traction, which is safer than having a rearward bias – but again, you had to buy a pair of tires already to keep your vehicle on the road safely. If you do rotate: After 4 years, once again you now have all four tires at about THE SAME tread depth of about 17%. Overall traction and traction balance is still equal on all four corners since all 4 tires are worn down the same amount. However, after year 4 all four tires are below our threshold of 20% tread, so it’s time to replace all 4 tires and start fresh again with 100% on all four corners. Let’s keep going, the left truck still hasn’t purchased a whole set of tires yet, so we keep going to year #5: YEAR FIVE If you don’t rotate: After 5 years of not rotating anything, your front tires you barely bought a year ago is already down to 25% tread! Your rear tires (which don’t forget, are now 5 years old) are down to 41.8% tread. All four tires have different ages and have different levels of grip. You are back to the not-ideal rearward bias in traction. If you do rotate: This “year 5” is identical to Year 1. You started with a fresh, new set of tires and after 1 year your front tires are once again at 84% and the rear tires are at 50%. Overall traction (“Grip Ratio”) stays higher at the front for excellent steering and braking traction. Since we put the tire age limit at 6 years, let’s end the comparison by looking at what happens when we reach year #6: YEAR SIX (Tire Age Threshold) If you don’t rotate: After 6 years of not rotating anything, those front tires you barely bought 2 years ago have worn down to 12.5%, and thus your front tires have to be replaced (again). But wait – Your rear tires may only be down to 35.1% of tread… but they reached the age threshold of 6 years, so guess what? Your rear tires also have to be replaced! If you do rotate: This “year 6” is identical to Year 2. Everything is good =) Long Term Results Comparison So, after 6 years of doing a proper yearly rotation, this is what happened: Tire Wear is Optimal. At the end of the first 4 years, you have worn down a set of four tires to about the same amount. Traction Balance is Excellent. Over 6 years you always had neutral or forward-biased traction, which is safer. Tire Life is Maximized. At the end of the 6th year, you’ve only purchased 4 new tires total before continuing to year 7. Compare the above to 6 years of not rotating at all, and this is what happened: Tire Wear Was Always Uneven. Over those 6 years you have worn down 6 tires completely unequal. Traction Balance Was Usually Wrong. Over those 6 years, your traction balance after day one went to a rearward bias. Tire Life Made You Buy More Tires. At the end of the 6th year, you’ve had to buy 6 new tires just to make it to year 7. What About: Rotating Based on Mileage? Bear in mind, my example above was based on rotating on an annual schedule – and I wrote it this way so that it was easy to focus on tire wear over time. However, yes: most people schedule their tire rotation based on actual mileage. In fact, Nissan recommends a tire rotation on the Frontier at every 5,000 miles or every 6-months, whichever comes first. And on top of that, I personally rotate my tires on my truck every 5,000 miles or so (as soon as I remember and as soon as I get some time to do it!) At minimum, if you choose to follow the manufacturer’s owner’s manual schedule then you should easily get a set of tires to last at least 6 years; as far as age goes, the general recommendation is to replace tires between 6-8 years regardless of mileage, depending on environmental conditions had actual usage. So in the end, do what works for you whether it’s time-based or mileage-based. What About: Tire Flipping? The term “Tire Flipping” refers to the process of removing the tire from the wheel and flipping it 180-degrees, so that the former “outside” face of the tire is now on the inside. Doing this periodically can also extend tire life, but unlike rotation which you can do yourself in your garage with no special tools, tire flipping requires a tire mounting machine and/or someone who knows how to properly unmount and remount tires. Note that tire flipping does not apply if you have directional tires (usually just a sports car problem) and in the case of truck A/T tires, you may have to sport white lettering or a different sidewall design if you flip the tires during a rotation. What About: Rotating The Spare Tire In (5-Tire Rotation)? Some people like to rotate all 5 tires (four main and the spare) with the expectation that they get even more tire life. Well, of course they will – because they’re rotating through 5 tires, not 4 like most do. However, before you decide to drop that spare tire to get it into the rotation, think again: not only is this more work but what you’re really doing is just constantly make sure that none of your 5 tires have the same wear… ever. Remember, for stability and handling purposes, each axle requires a pair of tires to perform as close to equal as possible – something that will never happen (aside from day 1) if you rotate 5 tires at a time. Another thing to note: most people have only 4 of the same OEM alloy wheels plus a steel spare wheel, or a set of 4 matching aftermarket wheels – not 5. So even if your spare tire is the same brand, model, and size as your main set of 4, your wheels don’t match. Rotating in 5 tires means you’ll have to get tires unmounted and remounted to preserve your set of 4 matching wheels. I’m in the camp that believes it’s better to rotate just the 4 main tires to ensure ideal tire performance and traction balance and efficient tire wear, but if you want to rotate 5 that’s fine – you do what is best for you. What About: Suspension Alignment? You don’t have to get an alignment each time you rotate your tires; in fact, this is why anyone can do a basic tire rotation in their garage with minimal tools (safely, of course). However having a proper alignment is a big factor in tire wear, so keep that in mind. The wrong toe setting alone can eat up tires in weeks, or even days if not corrected. Having some negative camber can also affect tire wear. Alignment is a separate thing that can affect tire wear if you neglect it, but again – this is about rotating tires, so let’s stick to the subject. Sample of a standard alignment sheet What About: Tire Pressure? If you’re on your stock wheels and tires, the safest bet is to stick to what the manufacturer specifies; on our Frontiers, you can find the recommended tire pressure rating on a label that is stuck inside the driver’s side doorjamb area. When it comes to aftermarket tires and recommended tire pressure, you’ll hear a lot of responses. Some say use OEM tire pressure; some will suggest the “chalk method” to determine correct tire pressure; some say an SL tire requires a different pressure setting than a Load-E tire, etc. ask 10 people and you’ll get 10 answers. Are any of these right? Only the one you choose to follow… but regardless, you should always keep tabs on your tire pressure, as the wrong tire pressure can easily accelerate tire wear. Conclusion: Tire Rotation = it’s Worth It! Vehicle manufacturers and tire manufacturers both recommend tire rotation to prolong the overall lifespan of your tires. It’s not marketing, and it’s not some trick to get you to do extra work or pay extra money to a shop to get your wheels and tires rotated. The fact that there are differences between what each tire does based on what position they are on the vehicle already tells you that they do not wear evenly, so tire rotation is a way to reduce this “unevenness” to prolong the effectiveness of the tire set as a whole, increase available traction, keep your vehicle handling as balanced as possible, increase the time between tire replacements, and ensure that the tires wear similarly together =) Post Views: 637 Tags: Alignment, Balance, braking traction, cornering grip, Falken, Handling, Level 8, rearward cross, safety, spare tire rotation, steering grip, suspension wear, Tire Flipping, Tire Life, Tire Pressure, Tire Rotation, Traction, tread wear, vehicly dynamics Continue Reading Previous All-Terrain, 3rd Wave Next Hey… What Generation is My Frontier?

Unfortunately, it doesn't take a lot of digging into most of these stories to find out they've been, well, inflated a bit. And sometimes, they're complete bullshit.
Everyone likes a good "rags to riches" story. After all, if some dude can go from living in a cardboard box to being the CEO of a major corporation, we can do it too!
6 Bill Gates
The Rags to Riches Story:
Bill was a college dropout who finessed his way into the upper echelons of IBM to sell his operating system. Now he sleeps on a bed made of solid gold. According to the media, Bill Gates is the Rocky Balboa of the business world. They've compared him to other college dropouts; from Kanye West to some guy who runs the IT Department at Bradley College. Gates proved that if you're smart and willing to work hard, you can build an empire! And you don't even have to go to college! Yay!
Continue Reading Below Advertisement
Why it's a Load of Crap:
First of all, the college Gates left was Harvard, not the community college that most of the people who cite his story are thinking of leaving. He entered Harvard by scoring 1590 out of 1600 on his SAT--the man was, and still is, a genetically mutated genius. But one with the type of parents who could afford Harvard.
Luxury office, giant window. Just your average college dropout.
In fact, Gates's parents have a lot to do with his success, and even why he was able to drop out of school. At a very young age, Bill was staying up all night experimenting with computer programming. Keep in mind, this was the late 60s and early 70s, so having access to a computer was like having access to a helicopter. He gained incredible amounts of experience because his upper class parents were able to enroll him in an exclusive prep school that had a computer available. This was only possible because Bill's father was a prominent attorney, and his mother's side of the family wasn't exactly poor either.

Later, Gates left college because it didn't provide the training in computer programming that he needed for the software business he was running on the side. It wasn't that Gates couldn't keep up at Harvard; Harvard couldn't keep up with Gates. Again, this is the kind of risk you can take when you have well-to-do parents who can get you right back into school if things don't work out. If the dude scraping by on student loans and corn dogs tries the same thing, he's probably going to wind up bussing tables at Chili's the rest of his life.
Of course here is where Gates used his genius and creativity to invent the modern operating system...
Oh, wait, no. It turns out he bought the program that would later become MS-DOS from another programmer, for a one-time fee of $50,000. He then took it to IBM and other PC manufacturers and made a pile of money big enough to ski down it.
Now, we're not saying Bill Gates isn't a smart guy or that he didn't work hard. By all accounts he puts in more hours working than most people put into being awake. But, an "Upper Middle Class Guy With an Extraordinarily Fortunate Background to Riches" story is a completely different deal than a "Rags to Riches." The dude wasn't exactly an orphan begging for scraps. And it's not like he was turning tricks as a male whore to put his start-up capital together, the way Steve Jobs did [citation needed]. | positive |

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - A panel advising Minnesota's top health official says the state should not allow patients in pain to buy medical marijuana starting next year.
Adding pain as a qualifying condition could drastically change Minnesota's new medical marijuana program. Enrollment has been low since the program launched this summer, and officials think expanding to allow intractable pain patients could double or triple the number of customers.
A majority of medical experts weighing the question recommended Wednesday that the state should not add intractable pain. Its recommendation runs counter to more than 400 public comments the state collected from residents, prospective patients and medical professionals who overwhelmingly supported expanding the program.
The decision ultimately lies with Department of Health Commissioner Ed Ehlinger. Ehlinger will decide by Jan. 1. | positive |
Let’s just say right off the bat that Ellen DeGeneres has been making millions of people laugh for decades, especially over the past 13 years on her syndicated daytime talk show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show. The fun-loving, award-winning host and comedian is also known for being a philanthropist and a pioneer, as well as a damn good dancer.
However, a columnist for Instinct magazine brought our attention to an eyebrow-raising sponsored-ad skit that appeared on her show last week. During the less-than-two-minute sketch, three “average-looking” shirtless men representing the bad ingredients in other soups (such as preservatives and MSG) were shooed away to make room for three younger, buffer guys who symbolized the better (yummier, perhaps) ingredients found in Campbell’s.
While Ellen’s show is notorious for featuring segments with beefy guys showing some skin all in the name of fun, this columnist brought up an interesting point: “Imagine if Harry Connick Jr. did this on his show with women.”
View photos Make way for the sexy guys! (Photo: The Ellen DeGeneres Show) More
One male viewer posted this comment regarding the skit on EllenTV.com: “Campbell’s soup used ever so slightly pudgy men to demonstrate it doesn’t contain bad elements and hunky guys to demonstrate the good elements. I’m surprised to see this on Ellen. What if they’d used chubby females to show bad and slender, toned females to show good?”
This keen observation begs the question: Why the double standard?
“We feel we can joke about something when it seems less threatening,” Robi Ludwig, a psychotherapist and author of Your Best Age Is Now, tells Yahoo Beauty. In the terms of one’s appearance, she explains that women are sensitive about being objectified “because historically it has meant their being disempowered in some way. Because the truth of the matter is, for women, their beauty has been connected to their power and their success, to some degree.” Ludwig refers this theory to the term “evolutionary psychology.”
“Women had to rely on their femininity because that was a form of power — of being desirable and of showing that they could carry on genetic lines,” she states. “So when we attack a woman or objectify her, that’s taking away her power, because that’s primarily where a woman’s evolutionary power came from. But for men, that’s really not so much the case.”
That’s because a man’s power, evolutionarily speaking, has been linked to his ability to earn a living and provide for his family. “And this has changed recently because women are becoming economically important — their financial status has become more important — which has equalized the playing field,” continues Ludwig. “So for men to be objectified is a fairly new concept, and these ideas take a long time to truly change.”
However, another relatively new concept is that men also suffer from body image issues and are diagnosed with eating disorders and body dysmorphia (also known as body dysmorphic disorder) at increasing rates.
“We tend not to think about men as being affected by these types of issues, but they are,” she states. “Because of the ads that are around, men have been impacted more about how they experience themselves and their looks. The more images they see to compare themselves to, the more this can increase their own level of shaming and their own insecurities about how they look and how they feel about their looks. Women have had to deal with this reality for much, much longer, but men have become vulnerable too.”
So even though times have changed, gender differences remain.
“While there are similarities, men and women are still different,” concludes Ludwig. “As much as we want to deny that reality, there are still some truths. It’s a cultural reality.”
