Why Indian MSMEs are choosing Dubai to expand their global presence
By BharatTv LiveFri, 3 Mar 2023
As the global economy continues to evolve, Micro, Small and Medium scale enterprises are becoming increasingly important for driving economic growth and development. Indian MSME enterprises, often referred to as the backbone of the Indian economy, are now looking to expand beyond the domestic markets by choosing Dubai as their preferred destination for global expansion.
Dubai’s business-friendly operating environment, an open and transparent taxation framework coupled with a high consumer adoption rate, a relatively low cost of customer acquisition rate and access to a large customer base due to its strategic location has made it the preferred hub for global expansion, attracting a slew of Indian micro, small and medium enterprises.
Dubai with its stability, government effectiveness and reliability, provides for perfect access to the Middle Eastern and North African markets (MENA) with over 1 billion customers, which is one of the major reasons why Indian MSMEs are looking to expand their global footprint through Dubai.
Besides, there has been a significant improvement in the trade links between African nations and the UAE over the past decade, which has resulted in tremendous growth for the region with a vision for continued growth. The city further has an untapped potential to double its exports to African nations.
Dubai’s strategic location
Dubai's central location makes it a gateway not only to the Middle East region but also to Europe, Africa and Asia. Located strategically between the East and the West, Dubai continues to lure many businesses with its enabling physical infrastructure that facilitates import and export via land, sea, and air.
Being the maritime hub for the region, with its long coastline and Jebel Ali port - the world's largest man-made port and the busiest in the Middle East, Dubai offers unparalleled trading opportunities. The city of Dubai is also a global aviation hub, with the busiest airport in the world for international passenger traffic, providing businesses with unprecedented reach and access to global markets. Almost two-third of the global population is within an 8-hour flight from Dubai.
The UAE and Dubai are not just looking to be a gateway to the region, but rather to the entire world. “We are no longer a gateway to the region but the whole world, and we ensure most of the global trade comes from us", said Dr Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, UAE Minister of State for Foreign Trade at the World Green Economy Summit.
During the summit, he also talked about how the UAE plans to target G7 countries to create Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreements (CEPA). “By 2050, the current G7 is going to be totally changed. There are going to be new G7 emerging economies – India, Indonesia, Turkey, Russia, South Korea, Mexico and South Africa. These countries are going to almost double the G7 now", said Al Zeyoudi. "That is why we picked many of those for the CEPA (Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement). We signed CEPA with India and are pursuing it with others,” he added.
The India-UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) was signed on February 18, 2022 during the virtual summit attended by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President of the UAE Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
During April-November 2022, the bilateral trade between the two countries increased to $57.8 billion from $45.3 billion in the same period last year, recording an impressive growth of 27.5
percent in percentage terms and a notable increase of $12.5 billion in value terms. During the same period, India's exports to the UAE saw a remarkable growth of 19.32 percent, reaching $20.8 billion from $17.45 billion, an increase of $3.35 billion in value terms.
Dubai-India collaboration initiatives
Indeed, with India and the UAE's long history and relations, Indian businesses can profit from a landscape that encourages growth, innovation, and technological adoption while lowering entrance barriers. At Dubai Expo 2020, a new initiative called the Global India Collaborative (GIC) was launched with the aim of helping Indian MSMEs find new markets and investments.
"Many bridges are required to be built between the Indian industry and the world in order to globalise our businesses by making them adopt global best practices and making them globally competitive. GIC is one such bridge. It will help India realise Prime Minister Narendra Modi's dream of making India a five trillion-dollar economy," said Santosh Mangal, Global President of GIC.
With Dubai's large business community, Indian enterprises also stand to gain from the sharing of insights, solutions, and access to greater funding for growth. Additionally, with the national strategies for both countries focusing on promoting the use of innovative manufacturing and cutting-edge technology, creating sustainable solutions, and boosting research and development across sectors, initiatives like CEPA have further strengthened the strategic alliances and increased opportunities across sectors.
Business-friendly destination
Dubai's reputation as a worldwide hub for business and innovation originates from a corporate mindset tailored to commerce, lower startup costs, and the establishment of globally competitive, sector-specific ecosystems.
Another major catalyst driving businesses to Dubai is the visa offerings, as its visa laws and regulations are more relaxed than those of the US, Singapore, and the UK. Dubai's golden visa system offers long-term business visas, and its remote visa system offers even more opportunities for businesses to stay in Dubai even when working from outside the country.
The city’s vision for innovation-led growth and its conducive and business friendly environment with provision for several support programs and subsidies also make it an attractive destination for businesses of all sizes. Dubai offers businesses state-of-the-art warehousing, strong multimodal transport capabilities, and a highly skilled workforce, to ensure that trade keeps growing.
“Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s vision for innovation-driven growth has made Dubai a magnet for investments from the world’s foremost players in industries driving the future of the global economy. Dubai has created a dynamic enabling infrastructure and ecosystem for the information technology industry along with regulatory frameworks designed to support innovation, entrepreneurship and business expansion,” said His Highness Hamdan Bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai.
The UAE also ranks No. 1 in the Middle East and North Africa region and 11th globally in the World Bank’s Logistics Performance Index (LPI), a global benchmarking tool that measures the efficiency of a country’s trade logistics chain as well as the challenges and opportunities they face in their performance. The six components of the LPI, the latest edition of which was released in 2018, covers infrastructure, customs, quality of logistics services, ease of arranging shipments, timeliness, and tracking and tracing.
Dubai has also set up special economic zones for international businesses, including the popular Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), which offers companies 100% ownership and a 50-year guarantee of no tax on corporate income or taxes.
Dubai: Global business destination
Today, the city has become a global melting pot, with a large Indian diaspora, and continues to attract a large population of skilled workforce because of its global reputation and higher income. Indian MSMEs are among the many businesses around the world that have recognized the potential of Dubai and are choosing it as their preferred destination for expanding their global footprint.

The United States Of Delirium: A Book About The Race Across America
Posted on September 1, 2010 February 23, 2017 by Darren Alff
The Race Across America is arguably the most difficult bicycle race in the world. It takes riders from Oceanside, California across more than 3,000 miles of diverse terrain and finishes less than 10 days later in Annapolis, Maryland. Race participants ride non-stop, with support crews in chase, and often times go for days on end without the slightest bit of sleep.
It is no surprise then, that a book chronicling the story of the Race Across America was published with the title, “The United States Of Delirium: The Story Of The Race Across America.”
With photos by Lorne Bridgman and text by David Houghton, The United State of Delirium is an impressive collection of photos, stories, history and racer profiles, chronicling both the beauty and pure insanity that is the Race Across America.
I could go on and do my best to explain to you what the Race Across America really is and how it came about, but I think author David Houghton says it best on the book’s very first page:
John Marino was leafing through the Guinness Book of World Records when, by chance, he came across the United States coast-to-coast cycling record. Set by Peter Duker in 1972, the record stood at 18 days, 2 hours and 20 minutes. Marino, a baseball player who’d been drafted by the L.A. dodgers before a career-ending back injury, set his mind to breaking the transcontinental cycling record. After two years of training and preparation, Marino set off on August 26th 1978, and knocked five days off Duker’s time, crossing the country in 13 days, 1 hour and 20 minutes. He then went on to beat his own record two years later with a time of 12 days, 3 hours and 41 minutes.
Lon Haldeman, a lanky endurance cycling from Harvard, Illinois, had been tracking Marino’s successes. In 1981, Haldeman beat Marino’s record with a time of 10 days, 23 hours 27 minutes. For added emphasis, Haldeman beat Marino’s best while completing a couple transcontinental, an ambitious back-to-back traverse of the United States from east to west, then west to east.
By this time, Marino had begun to entertain the idea of a head-to-head transcontinental race. The challenge was dubbed The Great American Bike Race, a name suggested by Stuart John Meyers, editor of American Bicyclist magazine. In 1982, Marino set off from the Santa Monica pier, bound for New York City, with the only three competitors willing to join him: Lon Haldeman, Michael Shermer and John Howard. Shermer, a small, bearded rider from Tustin, California, had just set a new Seattle-to Los Angeles cycling record. Texan John Howard was a three-time Iron-man champion who had been anointed Cycling magazin’es Cyclist of the Decade for the 1970s.
Haldeman won The Great American Bike Race in 9 days, 20 hours and 2 minutes. Marino had to settle for fourth place, but his head-to-head competition had knocked a full day off the transcontinental record. Renamed the Race Across America (RAAM), the race has been run every year since.
The race has grown to include many categories. The first solo woman’s division was introduced in 1984, the first four-person teams in 1989, and the first eight person teams in 2003. The race now includes a staggering array of divisions, including 2 Person Tandem Men, 4 Person Team Recumbent and 8 Person HPV (Human Powered Vehicle). YEt at its core, the Race Across America still clings tightly to John Marino’s vision. It is a race of solitary men and women struggling with internal and external forces, those they can control and those they cannot, fighting fatigue and enduring physical pain as they ride more than three thousand miles across America virtually nonstop, a notion as big and audacious as America itself.
The United States Of Delirium is a beautiful book splashed with wonderful stories, detailed historical information and incredible photographs. Half pictures and half text, The United States Of Delerium is a book that truly captures the spirit of the Race Across America – in both its wonder and its pain.

Sadly it looks like the site is down, but I’ll check out the book later. 🙂
I look forward to riding across the U. S. during the summer of 2013, along with fourteen other cyclist. God Bless U all !
If / When I get laid off, I’m setting off on a solo shot across the states, from Topsail island, NC to San Diego, CA. I’m going to try to do it for under a $1000.00 and no outside support.

Anywhere online to order the book besides the official site? It’s been down for some time now.
Bicycle Touring Pro says:
Unfortunately, the only place to get the book is on the official website. Why the website is currently down, I don’t know. I am going to try and contact the author right now. He might not even know that the website is broken.
I have been trying to find this book at any stores but no where yet to get? can I buy it on your site? thanks. cheryl
Unfortunately, the author’s website seems to be the only place to purchase the book. And the website has been down for quite some time now, so I don’t know how else you would be able to get a copy of the text. It’s a shame. I’ll try and contact the author again and remind him about the website being down.
David Houghton says:
Hi everyone, my apologies for the the Delirium website being down. It’s up and running again.
As a way of saying thanks for your patience, I’d like to offer a FREE limited-edition United States of Delirium t-shirt with every order before December 31st.

I worked the start and finish of RAAM this past year and it was amazing! To be at the beginning and hear the hope and enthusiasm and to be at the finish line and hear their stories of triumph and/or disappointments. But never did I hear anyone say they wished they hadn’t tried…….

Roadshow 4.1 Stakeholder engagement overview
Stakeholder engagement overview – process and key findings
My name is Justine Lacey and I work at the CSIRO. In the next few minutes, I'm going to show the work we did with the department over the last four years, examining the role of user panels in the GBA Program. What I want to leave you with today is a clear sense of the tangible benefits arising from the decision to include early stakeholder engagement in the form of these user panels. The inclusion of a structured panel process in each of the three regions was a commitment to responding transparently to how regional stakeholders and communities understand and think about the potential impacts of unconventional gas development. It was also a deliberate decision by the department to create forums for targeted and early key stakeholder engagement and dialogue that would be sustained throughout the life of the program.
As you can see on the slide, the department embedded the user panels into the formal governance structure of the GBA Program. And the design of these panels was based on meeting face to face in the regions under assessment twice a year, with the main objectives of including user panels, being to provide stakeholder advice and guidance as the scientific assessments were being developed in each region, to inform and develop those scientific assessments so that they would be addressing the questions and concerns of regional stakeholders, to strengthen connections and understanding between the program and the regions under assessment, and to build confidence and trust in the program design, its science and its objectives.
So who are in the user panels? Well, the user panels are a broadly representative group and they may include local land owners and water users, indigenous groups and traditional owners, local government, state and federal agencies, NRM bodies, regulators, tight and shale gas companies, particularly those with exploration tenements in the regions under assessment and other industry groups and peak bodies. The most critical aspect is that the membership represents the important regional interests and activities. In terms of providing a brief overview of our research process, on the right hand side of this slide, you can see the four major reports that were generated over the course of our work. From the outset, CSIRO worked closely with the department to co-design a set of best practice guidelines for user panel engagement and this was really about taking the overarching objectives of the panels that have been developed by the department and operationalizing them in ways that we could track. And that was supported by a four year monitoring and evaluation plan.
So the main points of data collection occurred when we conducted interviews with a cross section of community, industry and government panel members, at two time points over the program. And this was about understanding the expectations and experiences of those who were engaged in the panel forums. The first set of interviews was conducted in 2019 with 21 members of the Cooper and Beetaloo user panels. At this time, the Isa panel was operating, but its membership was still forming and it was too early to start data collection with them. We then conducted a second set of interviews in late 2020, early '21. By this time, the world had changed significantly. COVID-19 meant that face to face meetings were a thing of the past and the Isa assessment had been formally concluded at the end of stage two.
So this meant there were only two operating panels in the GBA Program. So in this round, we conducted 30 interviews with members of the Cooper and Beetaloo user panels again, but we extended our data collection to include 13 agency staff from the department, CSIRO and Geoscience Australia. And while these staff were not members of the panels, they had attended, presented and been closely involved in the running of the panels at the time. And in the next two slides, what I want to do is give you a brief insight into the high level trends that emerged from those two sets of interviews. So you can see how the panels were starting to identify the value that those forums were bringing. So in the first set of interviews, what we found was three major themes and they coalesced around understanding impacts on water, representing diverse perspectives at the table or in the forum and having an opportunity to inform government process.
So that first thing around understanding the potential environmental impacts of any proposed gas development is probably unsurprising, given the focus of the GBA Program. But we always found that this was focused really, really closely on understanding any potential impact to water resources. As you can see by this quote, "We need to be across what an expansion into production might mean for our region, for other land users in our region and what it means longer term for our resources, especially the surface and groundwater impacts." The second theme there highlighted the panel members tended to see the value of being part of the panel largely at first, because it provided them with an opportunity to represent their own interests in discussion or those of their constituents and with a range of stakeholders that they may not always have direct access to. For example, "We don't often get to sit down with people from regulators to scientists and industry and directly convey some of our concerns." And the third thing that we found at this time was seeing the panels as a really important way of having an opportunity to inform government process.
"We can't move forward and formulate good policy if we don't get together first, understand what the issues are, what the science is and try and work that out together." So in short, there was a real focus on both understanding environmental impacts, but also a lot of understanding the people connections that were starting to form around the panels. So some of the social aspects of the assessments. At the second time point, the high level themes were starting to shift a little. And we were now seeing the role of the panel processes located within a broader network of activities. For example, the panels were recognised as a critical first step for engaging key stakeholder interests around the major issue of regional importance. It was also recognised that this level of initial key stakeholder engagement would provide a foundation for any subsequent community engagement on issues of gas development, whether by government or industry.
It was also recognised that the panels enhanced the alignment of multiple processes. And this had been especially the case in the Beetaloo region, following the Pepper inquiry into hydraulic fracturing, the Northern Territory government was implementing a strategic regional environmental and baseline assessment. So for all state and territory governments, the panels played an important role in not only navigating the stakeholder ecosystem, but often complementing state and territory government processes that were underway. In the latter part of the program, panel members also identified the value of independent, credible science. Many spoke of the value of being able to talk directly with scientists, interrogate the scientific process and their findings and develop a level of confidence that the science underpinning the GBA and its recommendations was robust. And finally, a theme that had been evident from the beginning that developed over time was the importance of developing assessments that were relevant to and informed by place. This applied to both scientists being able to get out into the regions to conduct their research and for panel members recognising the importance of the engagement of GBA being conducted in their region.
One of my favourite quotes that really demonstrates this sentiment would have to be this one. "My number one gripe for the last 20 years is that major policies and recommendations are being formulated remotely." So what does this add up to? Well, this has been a necessarily brief snapshot into the work that we did with user panels over four years. We were able to identify five key benefits arising from the inclusion of user panels in the GBA Program. The first benefit was that the input of panel members was used to shape the scientific assessments that were developed for each region. This method, the objective of developing assessments that were regionally relevant, fit for purpose and informed by the priorities and concerns of regional stakeholders were successful. The two stand out examples of this are often cited as the decision to undertake the LiDAR survey over the Cooper, to better understand the movement of surface water, especially during flooding and the focused investigations on potential risks to groundwater systems in the Cambrian Limestone Aquifer in the Beetaloo in response to local concerns and priorities that were raised in the panel meetings.
The second benefit was the importance of how increased understanding of the physical aspects and scale of the regions informed both science and decision making. For regional members, this was about departmental staff and scientists coming into the region to better understand the place about which decisions would subsequently be made and having an understanding of the activities already underway in those places. For agency staff, it was also about the importance of getting into the field to understand the place they were assessing. The third benefit related to the increased awareness and understanding among all stakeholders was a broad range of knowledge and perspectives generated by the panels. In my view, one of the strongest aspects of the panel function and design related to the fact that panels were structured so that they never had to reach consensus on any particular issue and they could hold quite diverse issues in those panels.
In fact, broad ranging discussion on many issues was encouraged and by placing diverse stakeholders with diverse views in conversation together, they really allowed different conversations to happen and take place and a better appreciation of those other key points to emerge over time. And finally, in the latter parts of the program, we also found evidence of trust being established. It's related to trust in the program and its objectives and trust in the science that was underpinning the program. Thank you.

200. The-Dream – “Rockin’ That Shit” (2008)
The Love Trilogy is the stuff of r&b legend with Terius Nash releasing three legitimate classics in the span of four years. “Yamaha” off the last album is the Prince-indebted all-timer, but “Rockin’ That Shit” is the go-to to get the party started. Not to be confused with his first hit “Shawty Is Da Shit,” The-Dream has really honed in on his sound as a solo artist by his second album. Every line here is catchy with each ad-lib (ayyy, ooooh, ohoooh, etc.) hitting the right note. He even ends a whole verse speechless with “ummm” and it totally works. Nash’s whole brand of r&b had no flaws, and when he wanted a hit, he put every ounce of his talent into it. — Andrew Cox
199. Beirut – “Postcards from Italy” (2006)
“Postcards from Italy” is like if Sufjan Stevens decided to take his 50 States Project into Europe. It is the most noteworthy track off Beirut’s debut album, Gulag Orkestar, released in 2006. Featuring their signature ukulele strums over a triumphant horn section, the single became one of their most popular tracks. The nostalgia anthem was accompanied by a video featuring home videos of people you never knew but felt like family. — Nina Braca
198. Broken Social Scene – “Cause = Time” (2002)
Epochal indie albums came out of the three major Canadian cities in the ’00s with The New Pornographers in Vancouver, Arcade Fire in Montreal, and Broken Social Scene in Toronto. Maybe there’s something to be said about the large collective atmosphere of these acts, but Broken Social Scene captured the tempestuous spirit of indie music more naturally than those two, for better and for worse. This band wasn’t here for straightforward indie pop or anthemic call-to-arms, and that was due to their start as a post-rock instrumental act. The more people they added (eleven officially for You Forgot It in People), the more they behaved like a true rock band. “Cause = Time” is the most propulsive track on the album. — Andrew Cox
197. Belle and Sebastian – “Your Cover’s Blown” (2004)
After a trio of classic chamber pop albums in the ’90s, Belle & Sebastian didn’t have much to prove for this decade. It showed up a bit in their disjointed releases and stylistic changes throughout much of the ’00s. They released many albums, but the best work popped up in singles and EPs like the geniuinely-weird “Your Cover’s Blown” that behaves like indie pop’s attempt at “Bohemian Rhapsody” or “Happiness Is a Warm Gun.” The bass-heavy, funky six-minute epic is like nothing in Belle & Sebastian’s discography, so it makes a little sense to hide it away on a 4-song EP between albums. Murdoch’s funny side comes through best on lines like “The DJ’s picking up speed / That’s something I just don’t need.” — Andrew Cox
196. Fiona Apple – “Extraordinary Machine” (2005)
This title track and opener of the idiosyncratic 2005 album demonstrates the type of drama and theatre Apple can fit into a single song. It takes on a life of its own, moving sluggishly along with her voice as she tells something of a mythological tale about her own evolution: “Be kind to me, or treat me mean / I’ll make the most of it, I’m an extraordinary machine.” Other characters come and go throughout, but she makes herself the centerpiece, dismantling misunderstandings and confessing to potential flaws. It’s an intimate introduction into a record packed with further personal revelations, anecdotes, and lessons. — Danielle Chelosky
195. No Age – “Teen Creeps” (2008)
The LA duo’s knack for writing incredible earworms is one of the many reasons that they belong on this list, and more specifically, why “Teen Creeps” belongs on this list. A noisy, chaotic, overflowing song that brims with emotion, “Teen Creeps” is an anthem that spares no listener. This track rips open a conversation about people who “wash away what we create,” it’s raw frustration at these teenage creeps who don’t know what they’re getting into – what No Age has been a part of for a long time. — Happy Haugen
194. Air – “Cherry Blossom Girl” (2004)
Moon Safari put Air on the map back in 1998 and features their biggest singles, but Talkie Walkie might be their best album. The duo’s maturity shows in eschewing all awkward tonal changes in favor of a refreshingly mellow atmosphere throughout. The album doesn’t come without knockout singles though, and “Cherry Blossom Girl” fits that bill. Producer Nigel Godrich (Radiohead, Beck’s Sea Change) had some expertise in fleshing out a song’s palette while maintaining that pleasant ambient atmosphere, and it’s not merely speculative to assume the flutes, bowed vibraphone, and additional vocals were deftly added into the mix under his guidance. — Andrew Cox
193. Sean Paul – “Get Busy” (2002)
When you’re seven years old and forced to listen to whatever is on pop radio in the backseat, a voice like Sean Paul doesn’t exactly register as impactful or game-changing. “Get Busy” and “Baby Boy” were just the next chart-topping hits in rotation with “In da Club” or “Lose Yourself.” Yet it’s that sense of normalization that is impactful long-term. In the seventeen years since Sean Paul topped the charts, I and all those kids bobbing their heads in the backseat have grown to adulthood. To us, Jamaican dancehall isn’t an acquired taste or seen as something only a certain segment of the population cares about. We see Sean Paul and that he was the most important figure in making dancehall an ingrained part of American music. — Andrew Cox
192. MGMT – “Electric Feel” (2007)
As I think MGMT intended, there is an energy to “Electric Feel” unlike any other. It currently resides at the top of my “songs to dance to like it’s 2013” playlist on Spotify, which I created to take me back. Alongside “Rollercoaster” by Bleachers and “Tongue Tied” by Grouplove, this song soundtracks any and all parties and late night drives of my youth. As I flail my arms and bob my head in sync with friends and strangers alike in someone’s basement, I feel understood and released. It is not just that it builds, but that it carries a rhythmic punch throughout. I think this is why it played a key role in many important pop culture moments in 2008: Tony Hawk’s much-awaited spin-off video game Tony Hawk: Ride, S2:E4 of Gossip Girl, and Christian Dior’s Ready-to-Wear show for his spring 2009 line. — Sadie Burrows
191. Art Brut – “Formed a Band” (2004)
Art Brut has become one of those “Hey, remember ____?” acts for indie music fans of past generations, but for this listener who only found out about them in recent years, this band still puts a smile on your face. Bang Bang Rock & Roll is full of short jams with lead singer Eddie Argos displaying his wry personality through punkish vocals. “Formed a Band” is their M.O. in three minutes: “Formed a band / We formed a band / Look at us! / We formed a band!” They set high expectations by proclaiming they will write a perfect song that will unite the world. Well, at least “Formed a Band” is perfect. — Andrew Cox
190. M.O.P. – “Ante Up (Robbin Hoodz Theory)” (2000)
If you need an old school rap exercise playlist, right after LL Cool J’s “Mama Said Knock You Out” should be M.O.P.’s “Ante Up.” Few songs are as successful as an adrenaline boost; it makes you want to suplex somebody for no reason. For the Brooklyn duo, there’s no time for chit-chat or moral quandaries — Ante up! East coast hip-hop embraced the song immediately as Busta Rhymes and Remy Ma jumped on a remix, and Gang Starr and Method Man make a cameo in the music video. It’s now a go-to soundtrack for mediocre comedies like 30 Minutes or Less, The Mindy Project, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. — Andrew Cox
189. Florence + the Machine – “Dog Days Are Over” (2008)
I can’t listen to Florence + the Machine without thinking of this song, summer, and my friend Hannah. The first two are obvious associated thoughts with one being a top hit of English indie rock band and the second being a reference of the song. The last of that list is because of a t-shirt my freshman year roommate turned long-time pal wore often those first few months of college. Within the first moments of meeting, Hannah expressed her love of Florence — her voice, her look, her everything. I didn’t get it. I had only heard a few of her songs and found them to be a bit too avant-garde for my liking. But with her classic loving push, Hannah made me listen again (and again and again). It only took one car jam session for me to recognize her brilliance. “Dog Days Are Over” takes a look at joy and its implications unlike any other song I have heard. Florence’s airiness is only topped by the surprising depth of power in her voice. The production includes everything from playful stringed instruments to heavy bass drum, and makes the experience irreplicable and wonderfully overwhelming. Because of these reasons, this song is still their most played song on Spotify by a large margin, and I imagine it will remain that way throughout the band’s lifetime. — Sadie Burrows
188. Air France – “Collapsing Outside Your Doorstep” (2008)
For a solid four years, the Swedish record label Sincerely Yours released nothing but essential indie pop releases. The label specialized in a new version of Balearic beat (named after the Ibizan island) that incorporated New Wave and sampledelia elements. Memory Tapes, jj, The Tough Alliance/CEO, Kendal Johansson, The Honeydrips, and Air France all had releases that garnered praise from Pitchfork and other indie outlets. Out of all of them, Air France has best stood the test of time with “Collapsing Outside Your Doorstep” with the ever-intoxicating sample refrain “Sort of like a dream, isn’t it? No, better.” — Andrew Cox
187. Young Jeezy (ft. Jay-Z) – “Go Crazy (Remix)” (2005)
Young Jeezy sounded every bit of 28 years old when he broke big, but he would keep the “young” moniker well into his 30s. “Soul Survivor” gave Jeezy his only top-five hit, but he ceded the spotlight to Akon on the hook. “Go Crazy (Remix)” was released right after and couldn’t make the top twenty on the rap charts. The Cannon beat is one of his best, and Jeezy spits out his anthem over it. Jay-Z doesn’t overshadow him with his great verse but rather solidifies Jeezy’s status as a new leader in the hip-hop scene. Even if he hasn’t since matched up to his debut, Jeezy has become synonymous with the idea of street cred in hip-hop with his whole persona defining a path to success without sacrificing any harsh edges. — Andrew Cox
186. Lil Mama – “Lip Gloss” (2007)
The percussive, booming, in your face characteristics of the introduction to “Lip Gloss” either entice a first time listener or bring to mind the other thousands of times they’ve jumped out of their chair at the first beat. Lil Mama’s hit from her debut is punchy and effective, and connected to fun memories for many. Her brand of hip hop is electrifying and addictive, resulting in an irresistible and empowering anthem. Accompanied by a knockout music video, her beats and catchy rhythms leave the listener energized and ready to conquer their high school halls, or whatever setting they may be in. — Virginia Croft
185. U2 – “Beautiful Day” (2000)
It’s been 20 years since U2 released the optimistic anthem “Beautiful Day,” and yet we need its message of hope now more than ever. Bono said it’s about “a man who has lost everything, but finds joy in what he still has,” and even skeptics can agree our frontman is very convincing as he cries out, “It’s a beautiful day, don’t let it get away.”
Considering the song is a bona fide morale booster, I’d like to think that had Apple and U2 gifted it to millions of iTunes accounts without permission today, we’d welcome the “intrusion.” After all, who couldn’t use a forced dose of positivity right now? — Leslie Richin
184. Daddy Yankee (ft. Glory) – “Gasolina” (2004)
Puerto Ricans are Americans. Indisputable truths like this have to be said constantly, especially after this country’s pathetic response to the devastation of Hurricane Maria in 2017. The story of Puerto Rican music therefore is also an American story with figures like Tego Calderón and Daddy Yankee who should be treated as national treasures. The latter has been in the limelight for nearly two decades inspiring the new wave of Latin trap leaders like Bad Bunny. “Gasolina” is Yankee’s most enduring classic, which had major crossover success in the mid-’00s. Through Luny Tunes’ electrifying production and Yankee’s forceful delivery, Reggaeton finally earned some respect and the fruits of their labor can be seen in the current musical climate. — Andrew Cox
183. Basement Jaxx – “Where’s Your Head At?” (2001)
I feel like I write the same narrative with Basement Jaxx every time — ‘they should be more popular;’ ‘they’re cartoonish in the best way possible;’ ‘Rooty holds up in every way imaginable.’ “Where’s Your Head At?” is their most popular track at least, and I want to believe I’ve heard it in some capacity recently outside of myself seeking it out. If you’re listening properly, it’s impossible to not bob your head. Of all the songs on this list, it might be the most high-octane of all; it’s easy to lose track of how many voices pop up and all the different ways the song’s title is shouted. My favorite voice is the one that goes “You have now found yourself trapped in the incomprehensible maze” halfway in; the only way out of this madness is straight through. — Andrew Cox
182. Gorillaz – “Feel Good Inc.” (2005)
When I first heard this song (on a TV!), I was years away from being able to place Del La Soul, Damon Albarn, or Danger Mouse. I was just a kid who knew a good song when he heard it, and “Feel Good Inc.” is undeniably good. Built around a boinking bassline and a refrain that implores you to “feel good,” Gorillaz’s biggest stateside hit is—like a smiling man with a gun to his back—imbued with a dreadful sense that something deceptively wicked is underway. (The evil laughter that appears throughout isn’t exactly subtle in its implications.) — Alex Wexelman
181. Nelly Furtado – “Maneater” (2006)
On her first two albums, Canadian singer Nelly Furtado established herself as an adult contemporary darling who blended elements of folk and R&B. On her 2006 project, Loose, that all changed with tracks like “Maneater.” The single, much like its predecessor “Promiscuous,” is a full on electropop jam that incorporate aspects of hip hop. Featuring peppy, pulsing beats and deep, dirty synths, it is the kind of song that is fit for both crowded clubs and solo dance parties in your bedroom. With Furtado’s brash vocals and Timbaland’s big production, “Maneater” is a track that not only gets people moving but also instills confidence. — Drew Pearce
180. The New Pornographers – “The Laws Have Changed” (2003)
Taken from their revered second LP, 2003’s Electric Version, “The Laws Have Changed” epitomizes why The New Pornographers is one of the best indie rock/power pop bands of their era. It’s direct and concise, yet also nuanced enough to feel idiosyncratic and curious. In a way, it’s emblematic of the prevailing late-‘90s/early-’00s radio-friendly aesthetic, but there’s also a tinge more-luscious 1960s Brit pop playfulness thrown in, too. Plus, the male/female harmonies and vocal trade-offs add sleek dynamics, solidifying why its punchy-yet-fun edge made it perfect for inclusion on the soundtracks to Weeds and Gilmore Girls. — Jordan Blum
179. Aphex Twin – “Avril 14th” (2001)
While many of the essential songs of the 2000s are powered by strong, poetic vocal verses, Aphex Twin’s “Avril 14th” is strictly instrumental. However, it still feels just as impactful as its counterparts. Overall, the song can be a bit misleading, as the majority of Aphex Twin’s musical works are heavy on the electronic side and typically more intense than “Avril 14th” ever lets on. Standing alone as a glitch in his discography, Aphex Twin creates a beautiful, melancholic two minutes of almost tear jerking piano music. The melody is rich and soothing, shimmering in its graceful presentation, enveloping the listener in a shield of new hope. — Virginia Croft
178. Ciara (ft. Ludacris) – “Oh” (2004)
Just like the South overtook hip-hop in the mid-’00s, r&b incorporated Southern Crunk elements as a natural evolution of the genre. Ciara was at the front of this Crunk&B subgenre with her debut album Goodies; the first three singles off that album reached the top two on the Billboard singles charts. “Oh” doesn’t have the obvious hook of the other two hits, but it’s the one with the most going for it. Ciara is a more forceful presence on the mic with a heavier rap cadence, and the production from Dre & Vidal serves her better through subtlety rather than Lil Jon’s typically heavy-handed work on “Goodies.” — Andrew Cox
177. Luomo – “Tessio” (2000)
Vladislav Delay has released many albums under different pseudonyms, but Vocalcity as Luomo remains the most essential. If there’s any indisputably classic album from the decade that I fear may be lost upon the next generation of music criticism, it might be Vocalcity. Albums that define electronic subgenres are only as beloved as that subgenre remains, and I wouldn’t bet on microhouse (coined by Philip Sherburne) moving the needle much today outside of diehard music lovers and some dedicated music critics. With “Tessio” off Vocalcity, Luomo offered up the best display of microhouse’s subtle euphoria. He combined the anthemic rave spirit of ’80s House DJs with the glitchy IDM technical skill of ’90s producers for a distinct brand of electro-pop that has shown no signs of aging. — Andrew Cox
176. John Mayer – “No Such Thing” (2001)
Before John Mayer was touring with Grateful Dead, he was a young and enthusiastic guitarist, new to the scene in 2001 with his first major studio album Room For Squares. The opening track “No Such Thing” is a cathartic, acoustic guitar-driven track that secured his place as a hitmaker. Its lyrics cheerfully state that the idea of a ‘real world’ is arbitrary, which was the 21-year-old John Mayer’s way of saying he is going to do whatever the f— he wanted. Which he proved, later in his career, as he branched out to new genres….and got in his fair share of trouble. — Nina Braca
175. Johnny Cash – “Hurt” (2002)
With all due respect to Nine Inch Nails, few songs quite embody the idea of a cover song that’s better than Johnny Cash’s rendition of “Hurt.” Here we have Cash — in the twilight of his life and by his admission — a reformed man of God, taking lyrics about suicide and depression and turning it into a song about self-reflection and modesty in the hope that we can all be more than our wrongdoings. Accompanied by a beautifully-subtle arrangement that features little more than an acoustic guitar, “Hurt” is as much heart-wrenching as it is beautiful. Coupled with the fact that Cash and his wife June would pass away just a year after the songs release, it’s hard not to believe the revered country singer was given privileged listeners a look into the mind of a dying man. Cash lays himself bare, and in turn creates one of his greatest pieces of work. — Clay Sauertieg
174. Destroyer – “Painter in Your Pocket” (2006)
The mythos of Dan Bejar has steadily grown since 2011’s Kaputt, a soft rock magnum opus that has converted many to the Vancouver singer/songwriter’s singular style. Five years earlier though, he made another classic album with Destroyer’s Rubies, and it’s more in line with his New Pornographers’ work. “Painter in Your Pocket” has become his definitive non-Kaputt track as the acoustic guitar riff and Bejar’s lyrically-dense chorus are captivating on every listen. For those put off by Bejar’s oft-pretentious aesthetic, this song acts as a relatively-simple folk rock delight. It’s a good reminder that intelligence doesn’t always have to be sacrificed for easy melodies. — Andrew Cox
173. Byrne & Eno – “Strange Overtones” (2008)
In the grand legacies of both David Byrne and Brian Eno, this song might’ve flew under your radar. Their first collaboration in ’81 (My Life in the Bush of Ghosts) remains a perplexing classic, but 27 years later, “Strange Overtones” became one of the most accessible works either had ever done. Byrne finds inspiration in a meta-narrative where he overhears a neighbor trying to write a song that is “out of fashion.” Though the song’s arrangement does feel beamed in from another time, their collective vision for art pop is a timeless thrill ride. Byrne also writes one of his best lyrics with “See the music in your face that your words cannot explain.” — Andrew Cox
172. T.I. – “Rubber Band Man” (2003)
If there was ever a song meant to be blasted from car windows on a hot summer day, it’s “Rubber Band Man.” Before trap had become so ubiquitous the term essentially became meaningless, T.I. crafted a hustling anthem for the ages, one that goes off like a grenade from the start and keeps on exploding without losing its power. A blaring organ motif from David Banner and T.I.P.’s verses and choruses each rolling into a smorgasbord of triumph made his ascendance inevitable. Because no one with this much hunger and presence was going to accept being left out. — Brody Kenny
171. Alicia Keys – “Fallin'” (2001)
Alicia Keys was to the ’00s as Mary J. Blige was to the ’90s — a hugely successful leader in r&b with hits that were emotional powerhouses while remaining comfortable to a mainstream audience. “Fallin'” was her first single and a perfect choice as it showcased her serene piano playing and impressive vocal range. It took a few months for the song to lift off, but it would eventually end up the second biggest song of 2001 according to Billboard behind Lifehouse’s “Hanging By a Moment” (not on this list). With “No One” and “Empire State of Mind,” Keys quite possibly became the voice of her generation, but the first single is still where she sounds most natural. — Andrew Cox
170. Eminem – “The Real Slim Shady” (2000)
It’s the lead single from Eminem’s deservedly successful—and controversial—third record, 2000’s The Marshall Mathers LP. Its value as a deceptively clever tongue-in-cheek satire of popular culture—alongside biting commentaries on Mathers’ rise to fame, ridicule, and condemnation—are even more salient in retrospect. In other words, its dated references have become increasingly charming as time capsules of a nostalgic period for many of us (myself included since I was thirteen years old at the time). Musically, it’s still catchy as hell and full of quirky moments as only Eminem could deliver, and the then-ubiquitous music video remains pure oddball gold. — Jordan Blum
169. Arcade Fire – “Rebellion (Lies)” (2004)
A hit on a critically-acclaimed album full of hits, “Rebellion (Lies)” has aged like a fine wine. Much like its title, the song is a wonder rebellion, or escape from an otherwise chaotic world around it in 2004. Perhaps in an ode to French philosopher Albert Camus, Arcade Fire and lead singer Win Butler conclude on the track that if the world is chaos and we all must die, the only thing we can do is to rebel. Butler sings of the lies society tells (“People say that you’ll die, faster than without water”) as well as society’s view of sexual norms (“Come on hide your lovers, underneath the covers”) and then encourages listeners to wake up and live life in spite of these factors (“Sleeping is giving in, so lift your heavy eyelids”). The song is a beautiful ode to those who acknowledge the absurdity and harshness of the world and yet wake up to face it each day. — Clay Sauertieg
168. blink-182 – “I Miss You” (2003)
blink-182 With Timeless Breakup Ballads
Early-’00s playlists are not complete without blink 182’s “I Miss You.” This song was the second single from the blink 182, the band’s self-titled fifth studio album in 2003. Although “I Miss You” didn’t reach the same acclaim as “All The Small Things,” the former was still certified Gold by the RIAA.
The macabre lyrics coupled with the easy-going and upbeat rock instrumentation make for a wild juxtaposition. The song’s timelessness does stem from its lyrics, though. Fans and critics alike regard “I Miss You” as a classic break-up song.
“Hello there / the angel from my nightmare / the shadow in the background of the morgue / the unsuspecting victim / of darkness in the valley”
Even more iconic is the eerie music video that accompanies “I Miss You.” The opening scenes follow a woman (or ghost) in a ballgown that’s wandering around a tudor mansion — creepy!
blink 182’s discography often scored 2000’s culture; their music underlined hit shows, video games and movies. This single rose in prominence again after being included as downloadable content for the popular game Rock Band II. — Chanell Noise
167. Los Campesinos! – “You! Me! Dancing!” (2007)
I’m pretty sure this is not common knowledge, so I’ll go ahead and say it: Los Campesinos!’ Hold On Now, Youngster is one of the best indie rock albums of the decade. Even if you don’t want to accept that, you have the album’s centerpiece “You! Me! Dancing!” to act as a sampler. The song was a holdover from their debut EP Sticking Fingers into Sockets, and that version might be the better one as it gets to the actual song about thirty seconds quicker (hey, I like noise rock but getting to the point is nice, too). If the instrumentation wasn’t jubilant enough, the message drives that point home: there’s you, there’s me, and there’s dancing! — Andrew Cox
166. Nelly – “Hot in Herre” (2002)
This song’s more of a novelty than the big singles off Country Grammar and less popular than the Kelly Rowland-featuring “Dilemma,” but Nelly was never more fun than here (“herre”) with his comical lyricism. Who doesn’t shout out “I think my butt gettin’ big!” when the music drops out. The song may have been ruined by being accepted into White suburban circles as a joke like it’s “Baby Got Back” or “Can’t Touch This,” but Nelly had a dynamite aesthetic early in his career that makes “Hot in Herre” — and every major hit of his at the turn of the century — so electrifying. — Andrew Cox
165. Fever Ray – “If I Had a Heart” (2008)
Fever Ray’s work with xer brother in The Knife resided often in dark corridors, but xer solo work proved to be downright terrifying. “If I Had a Heart” works like the opening credits with a long trek into a setting with no escape. The song’s brilliance is in its absence of a climax or any type of sacrifice towards mainstream appeal. Despite that, the song has become the most well-known of xer solo work and is only behind “Heartbeats” when you consider everything Dreijer has worked on. It is a go-to mood-setting piece used as the credits song for Vikings, and it also appeared in Breaking Bad. — Andrew Cox
164. The Rapture – “House of Jealous Lovers” (2002)
DFA Records pumped out hit after hit to kick off the 21st century with the “Deceptacon” remix, the early LCD Soundsystem singles, and the Rapture’s “House of Jealous Lovers.” The label led the reviving dance-punk scene with a deft ear for propulsive, cymbal-heavy 4/4 percussion and snarling attitudes, and The Rapture best conveyed that sound. “House of Jealous Lovers” has nothing complex going on, but each bassline, guitar riff, and cowbell is executed perfectly. They’re so confident in the sound that they spend an inordinate amount of time just counting to eight. They had every right to goof off with the lyrics. — Andrew Cox
163. Modest Mouse – “3rd Planet” (2000)
Modest Mouse’s third album, The Moon & Antarctica, was the first released for a major label (Epic Records) back in June 2000. “3rd Planet” is the first track, opening the album with some simple acoustic plucking, before diving head-first into the distorted guitars, lo-fi vocals, and philosophical lyrics that the band is notorious for. Though never released as a single (none were released for the album), “3rd Planet” stands as one of the most popular tracks and is certainly one of their best. The lyrics can be interpreted many ways, and as they should when they span the entirety of time and space. — Nina Braca
162. Three 6 Mafia (ft. UGK & Project Pat) – “Sippin’ on Some Syrup” (2000)
Lean has its beginnings in Houston. Blues musicians would mix Robitussin with beer back in the ’60s, and by the ’80s/’90s, codeine cough syrup became the base. DJ Screw and UGK rose to fame out of Houston at this time, and references to this concoction was a requirement for Southern hip-hop. The greatest ode to lean came from Memphis’ Three 6 Mafia at the turn of the century, and of course, they had to turn to UGK to embolden the message. This classic brought the drink to a nationwide audience, and the hook and pronunciation of syrup (“sizzurp”) particular stick in the mind. Purple drank would also reach a wider audience due to DJ Screw and Pimp C both dying with lean in their system. It might be best to focus on the sense of community and cultural pride that lean stands for in a song like this rather than dwell on its dangers. — Andrew Cox
161. Cat Power – “I Don’t Blame You” (2003)
“I Don’t Blame You” has a special place in Chan Marshall’s discography. She recorded it solo as the last song on You Are Free, her greatest album. It ended up opening the album and was almost released as an official single. Marshall has cited this song as her favorite to perform live, and even though the narrative focuses on a third-person character, she must see something in this character performing for herself primarily and feeling like she has a duty to appease her audience. There’s an empowering message here due to Marshall being the calming voice with no judgement for whomever needs to engage in artistic ventures without a supportive audience. — Andrew Cox
160. Erykah Badu – “Didn’t Cha Know” (2000)
J Dilla’s production, with a looping bass sample from Tarika Blue’s “Dreamflower,” forms the basis of one of Erykah Badu’s most contemplative and gorgeous songs. Mama’s Gun standout “Didn’t Cha Know” works great in multiple contexts, whether in isolation, as a more reserved followup to the fanfare of album opener “Penitentiary Philosophy,” or through the majestic video, with Badu and her iconic outfit trekking through the desert. The most attention, though, should fall on her voice and how she morphs the confrontational and confessional. Badu knows how to show strength through facing setbacks, even if she’s not certain about any one solution. — Brody Kenny
159. Kanye West (ft. Dwele) – “Flashing Lights” (2007)
Even though nobody would say Kanye’s discography has been overlooked these last fifteen years, I do believe Graduation — the peak of Kanye’s commercial success — is a bit undervalued. The singles off this album are the most extravagant of his career with “Flashing Lights” being the most radiant of all. The glowing synth beat is to die for and the use of strings here would be his best until they would pop up all over the place on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. The production and Dwele’s chorus does the heavy-lifting here, but Kanye’s second verse is one of his best displays of affable wordplay. — Andrew Cox
158. Pulp – “Sunrise” (2001)
What a way to go out. We Love Life is still Pulp’s last album, and the final song on it had the ironic title of “Sunrise” — an allusion to new beginnings and looking forward to what’s ahead. The song was certainly a change of pace for the band as Jarvis Cocker’s prolix charisma is not necessarily the draw here. “Sunrise” begins a little innocuous and seemingly an odd choice for a lead single, but halfway in, the sun rises. This guitar solo for the ages with a heavenly choral backing should jolt anybody out of slumber. After a bit of rest, it starts all up again as a complete duplicate. It’s like the end of a concert where the lead singer walks off first. The true encore may never happen. — Andrew Cox
157. Band of Horses – “The Funeral” (2006)
A powerful, melancholic ballad, Band of Horses’ standout track “The Funeral” leaves a residue of sorrow and an urge to be our best. It has been featured in an extensive selection of films and TV, including Gossip Girl, The Stepfather, and 127 Hours. The music video tells a story of despair that matches the blue tone of the track, centering on a man whose dog has died, drowning his sadness in alcohol. “The Funeral” is a beautiful track, taking a moment to pause on all of the complexities of life, and to simply breathe in, and reflect through the hardness. — Virginia Croft
156. Arctic Monkeys – “A Certain Romance” (2006)
Proving to be the most rewarding and complex listen on their debut Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not, “A Certain Romance” paints a picture similar to the ups and downs of a love story. Weaving in and out between a raucous intro and slower, more subdued sections, the song is a whimsical dive into the intersection of slacking off and realizing it’s good to hold on to what you’ve got. As Alex Turner examines his peers in his town, he eventually switches from scoffing at them to cutting them some slack, and that in itself is a very specific brand of romance. — Virginia Croft
155. Dizzee Rascal – “Fix Up, Look Sharp” (2003)
On his debut, Boy in da Corner, young London rapper Dizzee Rascal sounded like a polished MC and his own hype man. He deserved the self-congratulation, especially with efforts like “Fix Up, Look Sharp.” Centered around a sample of Billy Squier’s “The Big Beat,” “Fix Up, Look Sharp” twitches and squeals with the energy of someone who has been cooped-up for far too long. Dizzee addresses his hype and asserts that he’s going to live up to it, which would be clear even without his boastful lyrics. This may have been the first real taste of UK hip-hop that many got, but for anyone with good judgment, it wasn’t the last. — Brody Kenny
154. OutKast – “So Fresh, So Clean” (2000)
The three singles from Stankonia amount to some of the weirdest, most jubilant hip-hop classics ever made. “So Fresh, So Clean” is the most straightforward of them though that’s an easy achievement against the other two. Big Boi takes the first two verses outlining what is considered fresh and clean (Rollo from Samford and Son, Teddy Pendergrass, Sevilles and Monte Carlos, etc.), while André 3000 weirds out with talks of Anne Frank and malnutrition. Sleepy Brown is the uncredited vocalist on the hook here; he would later assist on “The Way You Move.” — Andrew Cox
153. Jay Reatard – “My Shadow” (2006)
“My Shadow” is the perfect song that captures Jay Reatard in three minutes and eighteen seconds – fast, loud, raw, catchy: these are what made him the legend he is today. “My Shadow” is played at breakneck speeds with a constant palm muted guitar acting as the heartbeat of the song, and the chorus is guaranteed to get stuck in your head for the rest of the day. Eventually, you’ll find yourself coming back to it again and again, just to hear the raspy “my shadow! My shadow!” because for whatever reason, it’s enticing. Jay Reatard was an enticing person – who knew what he would do or say on stage – and thrill of a Jay Reatard show is the same thrill on “My Shadow.” — Happy Haugen
152. Queens of the Stone Age – “No One Knows” (2002)
Although QOTSA’s second LP—Rated R—was their breakthrough release, its successor, Songs for the Deaf, truly propelled them into mainstream consciousness. Intentionally or not, its faux radio broadcast gimmick was a novel nod to The Who Sell Out, and much of its acclaim was due to the hypnotic appeal of “No One Knows.” Led by the trademark percussive precision of Dave Grohl (whose breakdowns during the chorus are exceptional), its sharply enticing guitar riffs and anthemic melodies made it the band’s most accessible and irresistible song yet. All these years later, they’ve likely never topped it in that respect. — Jordan Blum
151. Sleater-Kinney – “Modern Girl” (2005)
A song as spritely as “Modern Girl” can feel a bit incongruous on Sleater-Kinney’s initial finale, The Woods. After so many crushing anthems with powerhouse guitars, this Carrie Brownstein-led breather might seem better suited for skipping, whether it’s skipping past to the might of “Entertain” or literally just skipping along to in a field. However, Sleater-Kinney are terrific pop songwriters in any context, and just because they’ve turned down the amps doesn’t mean they’ve turned down the energy. “Modern Girl” still has plenty of grit, both in its shows of distortion and how Sleater-Kinney uses ’60s girl group stylings to wryly comment on consumerism and malaise. By the time it’s over, you ought to recognize exactly how essential it is. — Brody Kenny

Chris Farren Plays Another Perfect Set At Mahall’s
Written by Brittany Miller on February 8, 2020
Chris Farren recently made a stop at the Mahall’s basement on Jan. 27 to give us another perfect set from the Born Hot Tour, his first solo headlining tour, accompanied by Macseal and Retirement Party. This was my first time in the Mahall’s basement, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere from both the venue and the crowd. I also enjoyed being able to listen to the celebratory screams coming from the bands while they played a game of bowling in the open alley adjacent to the basement.
First up on the bill was Macseal, an indie pop rock band from New York. They brought some fun pop punk to the party, and they’re a band I would definitely play at a party. They brought more energy from the crowd than most openers, and I would definitely like to see them again.
You can check out Macseal’s music video for their single “Lucky for Some” from their LP titled “Super Enthusiast” below, and you can also find them on Spotify and Bandcamp.
Next up was Retirement Party, a playful pop punk band from Chicago. I had heard a few singles in passing from them, but I never actually took the time to listen to their music, and that has since changed. A good amount of the crowd sang along as the lead singer belted out raw and intricate lyrics that felt like they came straight from Avery Springer’s conscious without any preparation beforehand. The bass and guitar also matched the lyrics’ intricacy yet contrasted them at the same time with their wailing timbre. You can check out Retirement Party’s full session with Audiotree Live below. They are also on Spotify and Bandcamp.

Touring with a band is no stranger to Chris Farren though. Last year, Antarctigo Vespucci, consisting of Chris Farren, Jeff Rosenstock, and Laura Stevenson, came to Lakewood for a show that even wowed my dad, who had never even heard any of those names before. Now, when I heard that Chris Farren took solo tour literally, with himself being his only band member, I was a little wary that the high energy of Antarctigo Vespucci wouldn’t be there.
However, Farren prevailed and brought us another perfect set. With a projected continuous animated sequence behind him that changed with every song and guitar solo, Chris Farren sang of his anxieties in a way that sounds happy until you actually listen to the lyrics. Towards the end of his perfect set, he dropped balloons with his drawn face printed on them into the crowd, and the crowd practically dove for them at any given point during the remainder of the set.
The final song of the night was “Human Being” from his album “Can’t Die”, a song about social anxiety and realizing that you hate parties even though you really want to like them at the same time, which I found fitting for the end of the set. I briefly spoke with Chris Farren after the show while he was winding up all the cables that converged to his pedalboard, and he was one of the genuinely nicest people I have ever spoken to. He was interested in everything that everyone had to say to him, and he was happy to talk to everyone, and that really shows the quality of an artist.
All in all, I greatly enjoyed the Chris Farren show, and I hope that he comes back to Cleveland soon because whether he is in a band or only accompanied by his Fender and pedalboard, he’ll put on a perfect set every time.

Nickerson v. Stonebridge Life Insurance Company – 10:1 The Maximum Constitutionally Defensible Ratio of Punitive to Compensatory Damages
Posted on December 2, 2013 - Articles
On August 29, 2013, the California Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District, Division Three, issued its opinion in the matter of Nickerson v. Stonebridge Life Insurance Company (August 29, 2013, Case No. B234271), which provides defense attorneys with the strongest language yet in arguing for an absolute cap on the ratio of punitive damages to compensatory damages. Following its application of the three guideposts first espoused by the United States Supreme Court in BMW of North America, Inc v. Gore (1996) 517 U.S. 559, to the facts of the case, the Court concluded that “10:1 is the maximum constitutionally defensible ratio.”
Underlying Trial Court Matter
Nickerson, a former marine is paralyzed from the waist down. As a result of a wheelchair accident, Nickerson suffered a displaced fracture of his right tibia and fibula. Due to these injuries and complications stemming therefrom, Nickerson spent 109 days at the Long Beach Veterans Affairs hospital. Following his release, Nickerson submitted a claim to Stonebridge, his insurer. Stonebridge denied a significant portion of the claim citing the “necessary treatment” limitation in Nickerson’s insurance contract. Nickerson filed suit alleging Stonebridge breached the contract by failing to pay him benefits for the full 109 days of his hospital stay. He further alleged Stonebridge breached the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing by acting unreasonably and in bad faith in denying him the full policy benefits.
At the close of Nickerson’s case, the trial court granted his motion for a directed verdict on the breach of contract cause of action, finding as a matter of law that the “Necessary Treatment” limitation was a limitation of coverage that was not conspicuous, plain and clear in the policy and, therefore, was unenforceable. The court found that Nickerson was entitled to $31,500 in unpaid benefits for the breach of the contract. Additionally, the jury returned a special verdict finding that Stonebridge’s failure to pay policy benefits was unreasonable and without proper cause and that Nickerson suffered $35,000 in damages as a result.
In the punitive damages phase of trial, the court instructed the jury that Stonebridge failed to comply with two orders to produce documents. This instruction was the result of Stonebridge’s defiance of two court orders to produce its so-called “Blue Forms,” the internal forms Stonebridge used when denying claims, which are required to comply with the California Fair Claims Practices Act. The jury also heard evidence that Stonebridge had a net worth in excess of $368 million. The jury awarded Nickerson $19 million in punitive damages, equaling approximately 5 percent of Stonebridge’s net worth. After trial, the parties stipulated to $12,500 in attorney fees (representing Brandt fees), and the court awarded that amount.
Stonebridge filed a motion for a new trial based on several theories, including the excessiveness of the punitive damage award. After conducting a constitutional analysis under State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v. Campbell (2003) 538 U.S. 408, the trial court reduced the punitive damage award to a ratio of 10:1 (punitive to compensatory damages). In calculating the amount of punitive damages, the court considered only the $35,000 in compensatory damages for Stonebridge’s breach of the implied covenant; it did not include the $31,500 in damages for the insurer’s breach of contract or the $12,500 in attorney fees. Accordingly, the court conditionally granted Stonebridge’s new trial motion unless Nickerson consented to a remittitur of the punitive damage award to $350,000, in which event the new trial motion would be denied.
ickerson appealed contending the trial court erred in two respects: (1) in concluding it was constrained by law to limit punitive damages to no more than 10 times the compensatory award, and (2) in excluding certain categories of compensatory damages when fixing the ratio of compensatory to punitive damages.
Appellate Court Opinion
The Court of Appeal considered three guide posts which determine the constitutional maximum for a particular punitive damage award under the due process clause: “(1) the degree of reprehensibility of the defendant’s misconduct; (2) the disparity between the actual or potential harm suffered by the plaintiff and the punitive damages award; and (3) the difference between the punitive damages awarded by the jury and the civil penalties authorized or imposed in comparable cases. [Citation.]” (State Farm, supra, 538 U.S. at p. 418, citing BMW, supra, 517 U.S. at 575.)
Under the first guide post, the Court found, four of the five reprehensibility factors were present, resulting in an ultimate finding that Stonebridge’s conduct to be reprehensible. The Court further found the third guidepost to be inapplicable. Turning to the second guidepost, the Court stressed that the ratio between punitive and compensatory damages is “a central feature in [the] due process analysis.” (Exxon Shipping Co. v. Baker (2008) 554 U.S. 471 [emphasis added].) In conducting this analysis, the Court drew comparisons between the facts in the leading California case on the issues, Simon v. San Paolo U.S. Holding Co., Inc. (2005) 35 Cal.4th 1159, and the facts before it. In Simon, the California Supreme Court concluded that only one of the five reprehensibility factors was present, whereas the Nickerson Court found four of the five present. Further, the compensatory award in Simon was a mere $5,000, similar to the small amount Nickerson received for his injuries. These similarities led the Appeals Court to find that Stonebridge’s reprehensible conduct, called for a significant ratio of punitive to compensatory damages. However, in making this finding, the court also concluded that “10:1 is the maximum constitutionally defensible ratio.” This conclusive statement can only be interpreted to convey that any ratio above 10:1 runs afoul of constitutional requirements. This language is the strongest and most conclusive yet on this issue in California case law. Defense arguments in support of an absolute ceiling for potential punitive damage has become stronger. This language will aid defense attorneys seeking new trials based on unconstitutional punitive damage verdicts. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/10343 | {"url": "https://bledsoelaw.com/nickerson-v-stonebridge-life-insurance-company-101-maximum-constitutionally-defensible-ratio-punitive-compensatory-damages/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "bledsoelaw.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:20:30Z", "digest": "sha1:K47JTOYYGLRZRWBITXRZTL2PFVDTTBDQ"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 6471, 6471.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 6471, 7432.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 6471, 12.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 6471, 52.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 6471, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 6471, 185.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 6471, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 6471, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 6471, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 6471, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 6471, 0.32439024]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 6471, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 6471, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 6471, 0.08535201]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 6471, 0.06093868]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 6471, 0.02308857]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 6471, 0.02308857]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 6471, 0.02308857]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 6471, 0.01816805]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 6471, 0.01589705]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 6471, 0.02043906]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 6471, 0.01219512]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 6471, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 6471, 0.20813008]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 6471, 0.39520958]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 6471, 5.27345309]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 6471, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 6471, 5.23539002]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 6471, 1002.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 137, 0.0], [137, 175, 0.0], [175, 811, 1.0], [811, 841, 0.0], [841, 1666, 1.0], [1666, 2306, 1.0], [2306, 3035, 1.0], [3035, 3866, 1.0], [3866, 4176, 1.0], [4176, 4200, 0.0], [4200, 4770, 0.0], [4770, 6471, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 137, 0.0], [137, 175, 0.0], [175, 811, 0.0], [811, 841, 0.0], [841, 1666, 0.0], [1666, 2306, 0.0], [2306, 3035, 0.0], [3035, 3866, 0.0], [3866, 4176, 0.0], [4176, 4200, 0.0], [4200, 4770, 0.0], [4770, 6471, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 137, 18.0], [137, 175, 6.0], [175, 811, 101.0], [811, 841, 4.0], [841, 1666, 126.0], [1666, 2306, 103.0], [2306, 3035, 113.0], [3035, 3866, 130.0], [3866, 4176, 49.0], [4176, 4200, 3.0], [4200, 4770, 89.0], [4770, 6471, 260.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 137, 0.02238806], [137, 175, 0.14705882], [175, 811, 0.05065359], [811, 841, 0.0], [841, 1666, 0.00738916], [1666, 2306, 0.01597444], [2306, 3035, 0.01549296], [3035, 3866, 0.0425], [3866, 4176, 0.01324503], [4176, 4200, 0.0], [4200, 4770, 0.02762431], [4770, 6471, 0.01879927]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 137, 0.0], [137, 175, 0.0], [175, 811, 0.0], [811, 841, 0.0], [841, 1666, 0.0], [1666, 2306, 0.0], [2306, 3035, 0.0], [3035, 3866, 0.0], [3866, 4176, 0.0], [4176, 4200, 0.0], [4200, 4770, 0.0], [4770, 6471, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 137, 0.09489051], [137, 175, 0.07894737], [175, 811, 0.05345912], [811, 841, 0.13333333], [841, 1666, 0.02181818], [1666, 2306, 0.0140625], [2306, 3035, 0.0260631], [3035, 3866, 0.01925391], [3866, 4176, 0.0], [4176, 4200, 0.125], [4200, 4770, 0.02280702], [4770, 6471, 0.02645503]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 6471, 0.69983894]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 6471, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 6471, 0.67893398]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 6471, -330.25623964]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 6471, 70.968432]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 6471, 48.91677937]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 6471, 66.0]]} |

Partnership continues development on self-driving platforms and services powered by the Aurora Driver.
Today we’re pleased to announce that our existing partner Hyundai Motor Group, which includes Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Motors Corporation, has invested in Aurora as part of our Series B financing round. We’ve now raised more than $600 million as part of our Series B financing, putting us in a strong position to accelerate the development of the Aurora Driver, strengthen our team, and acquire cutting-edge technology.
We’ve been working with Hyundai and Kia for the last year to develop the Aurora Driver’s integration into Hyundai’s flagship fuel cell vehicle NEXO. Continuing our partnership, we will expand research and development of a self-driving platform for a wide range of Hyundai and Kia’s models.
“We are pleased with the progress made with the Hyundai and Kia teams,” said Sterling Anderson, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer of Aurora. “Together with all of our ecosystem partners, we are seeing the convergence of a powerful platform that will deliver the benefits of self-driving technology safely, quickly, and broadly.”
“Aurora is the leading innovator of self-driving technology and we look forward to building a stronger collaborative partnership with them,” said Youngcho Chi, President and Chief Innovation Officer at Hyundai Motor Group. “Working closely with industry leaders around the world will help us develop fully self-driving vehicles that are safe and innovative for our customers.”
As we’ve built the foundation for delivering self-driving technology safely, quickly, and broadly, our strategic partnerships with players across the transportation ecosystem—including auto manufacturers, suppliers, and transportation networks—have been incredibly valuable for the development of the Aurora Driver. Earlier this week, we announced a collaboration with FCA US. We’re excited to enter this next phase with our partners as we bring the Aurora Driver to life across vehicle platforms. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/10344 | {"url": "https://blog.aurora.tech/progress/hyundai-and-kia-invest-in-aurora", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "blog.aurora.tech", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:27:46Z", "digest": "sha1:DCSW6PYNOXB7DPHTMXRYSWQKWEAES2YV"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2064, 2064.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2064, 5091.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2064, 7.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2064, 113.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2064, 0.94]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2064, 293.8]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2064, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2064, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2064, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2064, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2064, 0.35584416]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2064, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2064, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2064, 0.11111111]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2064, 0.06783626]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2064, 0.03157895]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2064, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2064, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2064, 0.02631579]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2064, 0.03508772]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2064, 0.0128655]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2064, 0.01298701]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2064, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2064, 0.16103896]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2064, 0.55016181]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2064, 5.53398058]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2064, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2064, 4.76122068]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2064, 309.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 40, 0.0], [40, 143, 1.0], [143, 568, 1.0], [568, 858, 1.0], [858, 1190, 1.0], [1190, 1567, 1.0], [1567, 2064, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 40, 0.0], [40, 143, 0.0], [143, 568, 0.0], [568, 858, 0.0], [858, 1190, 0.0], [1190, 1567, 0.0], [1567, 2064, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 40, 7.0], [40, 143, 13.0], [143, 568, 68.0], [568, 858, 46.0], [858, 1190, 51.0], [1190, 1567, 55.0], [1567, 2064, 69.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 40, 0.21212121], [40, 143, 0.0], [143, 568, 0.00722892], [568, 858, 0.0], [858, 1190, 0.0], [1190, 1567, 0.0], [1567, 2064, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 40, 0.0], [40, 143, 0.0], [143, 568, 0.0], [568, 858, 0.0], [858, 1190, 0.0], [1190, 1567, 0.0], [1567, 2064, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 40, 0.05], [40, 143, 0.02912621], [143, 568, 0.04235294], [568, 858, 0.04482759], [858, 1190, 0.03313253], [1190, 1567, 0.02917772], [1567, 2064, 0.02414487]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2064, 0.29907066]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2064, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2064, 0.22413212]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2064, -136.69622534]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2064, 44.55690646]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2064, -97.03232866]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2064, 13.0]]} |

Porsche Embraces Japan's Songs of the Road
May 31, 2018 at 8:00am ET
If you happen to drive a Porsche 718 Cayman to the Observatory in Takayama Japan, don't be surprised by the familiar tunes coming from your tires. In a Porsche press release, they investigate the social impact of this unique program.

Musical roads are nothing new, but Civil Engineer Shizuo Shinoda discovered they had many benefits. On the northern island of Hokkaido, tractors and farm implements damaged his drive to work, and the ruts reminded him of a familiar tune. So he began working with the Hokkaido Industrial Research Institute to study further uses for musical asphalt.
The first observation is that drivers simply enjoy the melodies. Several roads in Gunma Prefecture have famous tunes. From "When you wish upon a star" to "Take me home, country roads", are joined by many traditional Japanese tunes. The real genius is that the songs are only played in the correct key if you are driving the speed limit.
Another noted effect is keeping drivers alert. This has led to more ambitious projects like a road in Akitakata. Driving there, your right tires play the rhythm while your lefts play the chorus. Properly tuning the roads has been an advunture unto itself. Residents of Kita-Karuizawa complained in July of 2012 that the tunes could be heard for almost 1/3 of a mile.
There is probably more to this story, perhaps the melodies won't play on American or Italian rubber. Nitto and Toyo are both excellent brands so it could be time for an upgrade. If you want to test this for yourself, the 718 Cayman would be the most fun, as the firm suspension bushings will allow the sounds to enter the cabin. But if you are like us, the throaty exhaust might cause us to exceed the 40 kmh speed limit. Some songs are better in fast forward, so tell us what you would drive in the comments below.

Vatican goes online in struggle against child abuse
The Vatican is turning to the Internet in its struggle against child abuse with a new website allowing clergy around the world to share information on eradicating the problem.
A key figure behind the initiative is German psychologist priest Hans Zollner from the Vatican’s Gregorian University, who spoke to AFP about the need for fundamental changes in how the Catholic Church handles abuse cases.
“Bishops have to give priority to victims,” said Zollner, a member of the order of Jesuits, often seen as intellectuals inside the Church.
“People working inside dioceses and religious orders should be taught to listen to them. All complaints have to be taken seriously,” he said.
Zollner’s university will host a conference next February at which the new e-learning centre is expected to be launched, with some 200 experts, diocesan officials and representatives of congregations attending.
It will be “a step … on a long and painful path,” Zollner said, adding the website would bring together the latest research on child abuse and Church laws, while allowing churches in different countries to have their say.
The website will be in five languages — English, French, German, Italian and Spanish — and the project is funded to last three years.
The Church is struggling to deal with rising anger and a string of lawsuits following thousands of abuse claims in Europe and the United States.
But many in the Church are concerned that the cases uncovered so far may only be the tip of the iceberg since abuses in much of the developing world — including in Africa and Latin America — have so far received little attention.
Pope Benedict XVI’s ever stronger denunciations of abuse are bringing some changes, however, and national bishops conferences around the world are set to come up with common guidelines against paedophiles by May 2012.
Zollner explained the process is slow and complex because of wide variations in national laws and the need for international coordination.
“The general sensitivity to the problem has clearly increased,” he said.
“But the Church is not a monolithic block. Sensitivities are very different. A critical point appears to have been reached,” he added.
“Many bishops are now saying: ‘We have to act’. There needs to be a more consistent and coordinated response as wanted by the Holy Father.”
The common agreement in the Church is that those responsible “must receive their punishment according to Church law and criminal law,” he said.
Among the changes Zollner has been working on, is stricter psychological tests for would-be priests to identify possible abusers.
The e-learning centre will make use of research from the child and adolescent psychiatry department at Ulm university in Germany, he said.
Abuse victims groups have accused the Vatican of failing to take the problem of paedophilia seriously early on, of not cooperating with police and allowing priests and bishops who covered up for abusers to go unpunished.
“For almost all victims, the most important thing is to be heard by a representative of the institution whose members have hurt them,” Zollner said.
Victims “should have the chance to express all their pain, anger, depression and fears to an official representative of the Church,” he added.
“The pope’s stance is there should no longer be priests who are protected and moved along. The Church must no longer give the impression it is shielding the perpetrators as it has often been seen as doing in the past,” he said.
The Jesuit father added: “It makes the victims suffer a second time.”

The Exquisite Repulsion of “American Horror Story”: An Essay on Abjection
Dear Television,
An African-American albino. A 200 year old woman who looks 45. A vagina that destroys all that enters it. A MINOTAUR. This is the stuff of abjection, and American Horror Story: Coven is overflowing with it.
You hear that word — abject — and think of something done horribly, wretchedly. In Coven’s premiere, the Supreme Witch, Fiona (Jessica Lange) tells her daughter, Cordelia (Sarah Paulson) that her running of the witch academy has been an “abject failure”; ten minutes later, the tour guide of Madame Lalaurie’s home calls it a site of “abject horror.” It connotes a depth of something we don’t usually reach.
But I want to talk about a slightly different connotation to see if we can get to why American Horror Story treads the knife-edge between feminism and misogyny — and why so many of us can’t stop watching it.
Abjection is more than just a depth of experience: it’s a theory of grossness, of confusion, of what we must reject in order to live. Stick with me here. The theory of abjection is most famously pronounced in the work of Julia Kristeva, who, in Powers of Horror: An Essay on Abjection, theorized the role of the abject in the building of both society and the psyche. Abjection includes that which is dirty — feces, decay, etc. — but also that which crosses borders and confuses. The Judaic Tribes of the Hebrew Bible created laws concerning what was and wasn’t abject so that they wouldn’t die out: people naturally wanted to do things like have sex with their wives when the wives were on their periods, but when you’re living in the desert, as these Judaic Tribes were, you just can’t get yourself clean enough. Accessing the abject would be to risk disease and, ultimately, death.
So what do you do? You make a woman’s menstrual cycle into something dirty and shameful — and write laws (still on the biblical books) that send that woman to a hut while menstruating. Eating pork was made abject because pigs were likely to pass along diseases — and kill off the tribe. Incest was made abject because sleeping with your family members would result in genetically deformed children — and eventually kill off the tribe. Homosexuality was made abject, because if you didn’t have sex that could make babies, you’d kill off the tribe. By labeling certain things as gross, the tribe — and society — was able to survive.
For Kristeva, the abject applies to that which makes one retch, but it is also, on a deeper level, “what disturbs identity, system, order. What does not respect borders, positions, rules. The in-between, the ambiguous, the composite.” These things disrupt the Symbolic, meaning they disrupt the way that language works: if you see something that looks like a tree, you expect it to be a tree. That’s how order works, how we get through everyday without going crazy. A thing is what its sign — and the way our culture understands that sign — says it should be.
But the abject messes with that: you see the muscular, shirtless chest of a man and you think “man.” But then you look up and see the head of an ox, and you think “animal.” Even if we have a name for it in our symbolic (“minotaur”) it’s still compromising order. Men behave one way; animals behave another — what can you expect from this thing?
The minotaur is a pretty straightforward example, but society also rejects things that are much more subtly confusing: the androgynous, the confusingly mixed-race. Even if you, yourself, think that you’re okay with these sorts of ambiguities, you can recognize that society isn’t, as manifest in everything from the census form to the development of slurs used to denigrate and separate that sort of ambiguity as dangerous, unacceptable, not me.
Historically, the abject – refuse, corpses, blood – is what must be pushed aside, rejected, and labeled as Other in order to live. Literally: reject this stuff or you die. Modernity has made bacteria much less of a problem, but the deep fear and distrust of the abject remains. Rejecting the abject becomes a means of shoring up identity: by clearly labeling what I am not, I receive a clear understanding of what I am. By rejecting gender ambiguity, you solidify your own lack of gender ambiguity…. or so the psychological process goes.
But it’s never that simple. The abject is at once an object of fascination and of repugnance. It draws in as it repels, seduces as it disgusts. It “fascinates desire,” but must, ultimately, be rejected. We want to see a corpse, not because we’re weird, but because a body should mean life — and here it doesn’t. It confuses meaning, sure, but that’s gross and engrossing. So in order to make sure that no one will succumb to the temptation of hanging out with corpses, you’ve got to label corpses, and people who are fascinated by them, as disgusting and weird.
Thus the abject is thoroughly shadowed with shame. Trespass into the abject must not only be a societal violation, but a moral one as well. Desire for the chaotic, the border-breaking, the Other, is constructed as an offense to God or common morality. To be clear, there’s nothing about the abject that is a priori immoral: things, people, objects become abject through complex psychological processes. Some of this is bound up in the physical — I’m sure an evolutionary biologist could explain to you why feces smell “bad” to us — but a lot of it is ideological and, as such, erases its traces. Transgender people aren’t gross; they’re confusing to our conservative symbolic order and therefore constructed as abject, unnatural. We cloak confusion in the language of repulsion.
Visual art provides the perfect opportunity to feed the attraction to the abject while simultaneously satisfying the need to reject it. As film theorist Barbara Creed explains, you willingly go to a horror film to get “the shit scared out of you” — just think about that wording. The abject is explored right in front of you, but it’s distanced enough that you don’t have to fear being absorbed by it. It’s voyeurism, only you’re looking at the abject.
The main horror genres are all magnifications of the abject: the vampire movie is all about gender ambiguity and drinking blood; the zombie movie is about the animated corpse; the “meat” movie (Creed’s perfect word, not mine) is about humans who eat humans (Night of the Living Dead, The Hills Have Eyes). Over the course of the film, you also get to watch as abjection is vanquished, usually by the protagonist, with whom we, as audience members, subconsciously align ourselves. In so doing, we vanquish abjection, leaving the theater secure in the knowledge that we are not them.
Over the last two seasons, AHS has revelled in the abject. Sex with ghosts, stillborn babies, a housekeeper who looks one way for men and another for women, a nun possessed by the devil, sadist Nazi doctors, mutilated yet still living bodies, alien impregnations — and that’s just the first two seasons. The show has “an uncanny ability to provoke pure disgust,” according to Molly Lambert. “How many other shows can boast that they make viewers need to throw up?”
Some of these storylines, especially the focus on the Nazis and the Nuns, highlight recurring abject fascinations. We return to stories of Nazis and corrupt church officials, at least in part, because they’re so compellingly contradictory — the doctor who destroys; the steward of God who punishes. That contradiction — that confusion — is what makes us return to them again and again, but it’s also incredibly reassuring. By labeling even the relatively recent history as abject, we distance it from ourselves. They were this way; we are not.
Coven has two main focuses of abjection: slavery and the monstrous feminine. In the first ten minutes, we see abominations of human flesh, the work of the sadistic Madame Lalaurie (Kathy Bates). She turns one human body inside out; on another, she places the head of a beast. So far, so abject. But she’s able to do these things because of the primary abjection of racism: if you label an entire race as part animal, part man, part savage, part civilized, if you label that race as abject, then society will sanction the enslavement and othering of that race.
In this way, racism — and slavery — becomes moral. But Lalaurie took that compunction too far. In her desire to explore the abject, she herself became abject, which is why a mob stormed her house and, at least according to the narrative of Coven, hung her entire family. As for Lalaurie, she became an embodiment of abjection: the corpse that breathes and never ages. It’s no coincidence that all who cross her path once she emerges from the ground, nearly 200 years later, remark on the putrid smell.
Women have long been a source of abjection: they’re the keepers of the menstrual blood; they’re selfish with their babies, trying to keep them from entering into subjectivity, always trying to get them to stay and hang out in the pre-symbolic, pre-language, forever bound to their doting mothers. In tales of abjection, the abject feminine manifests as the sprawling abyss — the mother who threatens to consume, to castrate, to make others into the gaping hole that is their lack. Creed points to examples of this all-consuming feminine in Alien, but I always think of the massive vagina dentata of Star Wars (the sarlacc — thanks, Google Image Search), so eager to consume Luke, Han, and Chewbacca, the very embodiments of righteous masculinity. In Coven, that’s Zoe (Taissa Farmiga), who may look meek and non-threatening on the surface — just like a doting mother would! — but whose inner void (re: murderous vagina) threatens to consume not just your penis, but your entire life.
But the abject feminine doesn’t have to be represented as a lack or void. Per Freud, the fear of that lack is manifested in a substitute fetish object — usually some sort of substitute phallus — that distracts you from her lack. Medusa is the example par excellence, the powerful, potentially castrating female with her glorious penis-like hair. But witches also take this role: there’s a reason we draw them with pointy hats and protuberant noses.
The witches in Coven don’t wear black hats. They have normal, frankly beautiful noses. But they are castrating bitches, that’s for sure. Fiona destroys or incapacitates all men who stand in her way. Cordelia has a husband of some sort, but the narrative suggests that she’s also bad at her witchy job. The only man who lives at the school has his tongue cut out; Madison (Emma Roberts) avenges the men who gang-raped her by flipping their bus…with her finger. When a man questions Queenie’s (Gabourey Sidibe) authority and insults her, she effectively submerges his arm in hot oil. Two men kill crocodiles with big pistols; Misty (Lily Rabe) has the crocodiles eat them. Patriarchal authority figures who attempt to interfere — such as the policemen who visit in episode two — have their memories and, as such, the potential to wield any sort of power, wiped clean. And don’t get me started on the Frankenstein man Madison and Zoe make out of dismembered body parts.
The witches are dangerous — they’re abject — because they threaten order. But it’s a very specific sort of order, namely, patriarchal order. To be a bitch, to practice “bitchcraft,” is a particular demonstration of female power, at once magnetic and repulsive. Just think of how we wield that word: as a means of policing behavior (“God, stop being such a bitch”). But “bitch” can also be recuperated and celebrated; to declare oneself a “bad bitch,” for example, is to revel in and acknowledge the transgression of behavioral norms. A bitch like Fiona — single, independent, powerful — is so threatening (and/or attractive) because she’s seemingly dismissed the role patriarchy has set forth for her.
In almost all forms of art, the monstrous feminine must be vanquished. She sticks around for awhile, letting us gaze upon and be fascinated by her, but her death is an absolute necessity if patriarchal order is to be restored. But things aren’t so simple in American Horror Story. It offers the basic abject pleasures of the horror genre, but it refuses to cooperate with the processes that call for the ultimate rejection of those pleasures. It screws with the processes that sustain the symbolic order — with the “Law of the Father,” as Jacques Lacan would put it, with patriarchy.
It’s easy to see why Ryan Murphy — an openly gay man whose work has been systematically denigrated by Hollywood — would be invested in this project, and would collaborate with middle-aged women who have been similarly thrust aside. In fact, Murphy’s oeuvre could be viewed as a sustained muddling of the lines that divide good and bad, high and low, queer and straight, campy and sincere, quality and pulp. As Willa Paskin points out, amidst the vaunted, masculine anti-heros of the so-called “third golden age,” AHS is an amalgamation of “undervalued genres, often dismissed as pulp” — horror flicks, women’s pictures, soaps, camp. But it looks great — the opening sequence alone is a study in aesthetic complexity — and boasts the same qualities that typify “quality” television (the auteurist showrunner; expensive production values; Hollywood actors; narrative complexity).
American Horror Story disregards hierarchies. It signifies as one thing and is another. It is, in other words, abject as hell. Which is precisely why it inspires the reactions it does: it’s addictive yet embarrassing; you love and hate it, can’t decide if it’s sympathetic or predatory, misogynistic or feminist. Fiona is a shameless ball-buster, but she’s also terrified by her own aging body, beholden to societal understandings of what “beauty” and “vitality” look like. Even as the “Supreme,” her power only extends so far: she can decimate men, but she can’t decimate patriarchal ideology. Those sorts of nuanced contradictions function as AHS’s narrative engine: it feeds on them, explores and explodes them.
In other texts and societal interactions, abjection is deployed as a tool of clarity — a way to delineate, to categorize, to shore up identity and classification, to de-abjectify the self. American Horror Story does the opposite: abjection begets abjection. You watch, and you might know that you’re not a witch, but you don’t know much else, either about the world or what you’re watching. It’s an exquisitely repulsive, wholly addictive place to be.

Birthday, the First Tearjerker About the Ferry Disaster that Killed 250 High-School Students
By Colin Marshall 04/21/2019 04/19/2019
When I first visited Korea, less than three months had passed since the sinking of the MV Sewol. The pall cast by the more than 300 deaths it caused, 250 of the them having been high-school students, showed no sign of even potential abatement. I met up with a film-critic friend and we guessed at how long it would take the Korean film industry to come up with a Sewol-themed major motion picture, and more to the point, who exactly would make it. “I’m afraid it’ll be someone like Kang Je-gyu,” he said, naming the director of technically accomplished but ham-fisted blockbusters like Shiri (쉬리), an ersatz Bruce Willis-type action movie about the hunt for a North Korean assassin, and Korean War drama Taegukgi (태극기 휘날리며). Neither of us, fair to say, had very high hopes.
Five years after the ship sank, the big Sewol film has arrived. Birthday (생일) comes directed not by the likes of Kang but Lee Jong-un, a first-timer with Sewol credentials: she produced 2017’s Friends: Hidden Sorrow (친구들: 숨어있는 슬픔), one of several documentaries about the disaster that have come out so far, and participated in the campaign to fund another, Healing the Wounds with the Sewol Generation (세월호 세대와 함께 상처를 치유하다). Had it been up to me to choose the director for a story based on an event widely seen as the nation’s failure to protect its own children, I might have gone with Lee Chang-dong, whose filmography attests to an interest in the trauma his homeland inflicts on itself through its treatment of young people. But one could see Lee Jong-un, who worked as an assistant director on Lee Chang-dong’s 2010 film Poetry (시) and is now described as his protégé, as the next best thing.
Birthday counts Lee Chang-dong as one if its producers, and on some level feels as if it takes place in his cinematic reality. Starring as Jung-il and Soon-nam, a husband and wife whose teenage son died on the Sewol, are Sol Kyung-gu and Jeon Do-yeon, the former having previously appeared in Lee’s Oasis (오아시스) as a mentally disabled man who falls for a physically disabled woman, and the latter having previously appeared in his Secret Sunshine (밀양) as another mother whose young son is killed. Like her mentor, who shows impressive restraint even when dealing with the most harrowing subject matter, Lee Jong-un doesn’t go overboard — an expression I hesitate to use in this context, but one that fits the fears many must have had about the treatment of the Sewol disaster in a cinematic culture that pushes emotions to melodramatic heights as a matter of course.
In a purely aesthetic sense, then, the ideal director for Birthday might not be Korean at all: I can’t help but wonder what Kore-eda Hirokazu, the most acclaimed Japanese filmmaker alive and one with a large and enthusiastic Korean fan base, would have done with the same material. Kore-eda has returned time and again over the past 25 years to studies of loss and its aftermath, films whose effectiveness owes as much or more to what they leave as to what they include. Though no one, even in Korea, will seriously compare Birthday to the work of Kore-eda, it does possess some of the same kind of power, not least because it shows nothing of the events of April 16, 2014. Unlike many of the other kinds of works that have dealt with the Sewol so far, it also has no apparent political points or diagnoses of deeper societal ills to make. (One of the Sewol documentaries was simply called Bad Country.)
Instead, Birthday tells only the story, as the advertising campaign puts it, “of we who were left behind.” That story begins with the third anniversary of the disaster approaching — an anniversary that coincides with the birthday of Jung-il and Soon-nam’s lost son Su-ho. A local support group offers to throw a kind of birthday party that will also serve as a commemoration of the community’s larger loss, but Soon-nam, who keeps Su-ho’s room exactly as he left it and imagines the activation of a motion-sensing light as a sign of his continuing presence, will have none of it. Not so Jung-il, desperate for a way to relieve the guilt he feels at having been away working in Vietnam (and kept there by charges of corporate negligence) when the Sewol went down.
It will come as no surprise that Su-ho’s birthday party eventually happens, nor that both Jung-il and Soon-nam turn up for it. That the birthday party occupies a large chunk of runtime at the film’s very end will come as even less of a surprise to those familiar with the movies dealing with recent Korean history in the past few years — 1987, I Can Speak, A Taxi Driver, and so on — most of which sooner or later compromise their narrative structures to fixate on one specific event. A fair few Korean reviewers have noted this weakness in these films in general, and in Birthday‘s they’ve even gone so far as to call it boring. But many also come around to recommending that everyone go see it nevertheless, urging them to bring a box of tissues when they do so: Birthday is not only the first Sewol feature film, but also the first full-blown Sewol tearjerker.
I personally found the screening of Birthday I attended, and in particular the long birthday scene itself, to be a cinematic experience like no other I’ve had in Korea, or indeed anywhere else. As Jung-il, Soon-nam, and their borderline-neglected young daughter sat listening to Su-ho’s surviving classmates recall their memories of him, sniffling began spreading here and there in the film as well in the theater. By the time the party came around to a slide show of photographs from Su-ho’s short life followed by a poetry reading by one of his friends, the crying had become a constant element of background noise both on the soundtrack as well as all around me, and so similar did the sobs sound that I could only with concentration identify whether any given sob was coming from the speakers or a nearby seat. For nearly half an hour, a roomful of weeping people watched a screen on which a roomful of people watched a screen and wept.
Nobody who has paid attention to Korean narrative entertainment can deny the popularity of this moist form of catharsis, but foreigners — a group I solely represented in the theater that day — will inevitably wonder why it plays so much better in Korea than outside it. “Jung-il finding Su-ho’s empty passport and silently lamenting the fact his son will never see the world is far more wrenching than when he treks to the airport and publicly begs for a stamp,” writes the Hollywood Reporter‘s Elizabeth Kerr, citing just one example of what may strike audiences more accustomed to the impact of emotions barely held back than emotions fully let out as step too far. Kerr also calls the film’s “hagiography” of the drowned Su-ho (or, as the contact in Soon-nam’s phone calls him, Su-ho Cheonsa, “Angel Su-ho”) as one of its “less successful” elements. That, too, makes me want to see Lee Chang-dong or Kore-eda Hirokazu’s version of Birthday: surely they would’ve made him at least a little bit of a jerk.

Executives Love Social for the Wrong Reasons
June 25, 2012 by MindManager Blog
Contrary to the popular belief that business executives are less than likely to be inspired by network-y platforms, a recent Core Values and Beliefs survey from Deloitte revealed much greater enthusiasm for social business among these bosses than their employees. Numerically speaking:
45 percent of executives say social media has a positive impact on workplace culture vs 27 percent of employees
41 percent of executives believe that social networking helps build and maintain workplace culture; 21 percent of employees agree
38 percent of executives say social media allows for increased transparency; 17 percent of employees agree
46 percent of executives say social media and online collaboration tools are critical to building and maintaining relationships with colleagues; 27 percent of employees agree
While these numbers might seem a tad off to social business fan kids, there are a couple reasons why they make sense. “Our research suggests executives are possibly using social media as a crutch in building workplace culture and appearing accessible to employees,” explained Punit Renjen, chairman of the board, Deloitte. And it’s true — in the enterprise world, social platforms have largely been treated like plug-and-play solutions for leaders looking to effect change. This approach has spawned a lot of back and forth from experts, including an article from Business Insider writer, Jim Whitehurst: “You can’t buy your way to collaboration. If employees are not already working that way, tools become nothing more than a high-tech version of the never-used suggestion box.”
Meanwhile, another set of enthusiastic CEOs are turning to these platforms in search of the latest buzz. “I think there’s a huge danger that every CEO can get cocooned and people just tell them what they think they might want to hear,” said David Sacks, founder of Yammer. “This is a way of breaking out of that and getting information from the field, from the market. It’s just much closer to the ground with a lot more sources. I don’t know any CEO who doesn’t want to know more about what’s happening in their organization, who doesn’t want to get more detail on what’s happening in the market.”
Socializing the C-Suite For Real
While utilizing social tools to boost both external and internal communication is certainly a wise move in today’s world of business, the wrong approach won’t yield the right results. At the end of the day, people follow leaders because they lead. Plain and simple. Externally, no other type of employee can so reliably provide data in a way that will be listened to and acted upon by investors, employees, customers, regulators, media, etc. Internally, no other type of employee can so effectively influence the rest of the team.
In other words, it’s great that business leaders are loving these platforms, but when they decide to go social without actually being social, it does a major disservice to the company as well as the tool.
Earlier this year, the Chief Strategy Officer of Dachis Group, Peter Kim, published 101 Examples of Social Business ROI. Among them:
AT&T. Community: 21,000 customer issues resolved, driving 16% improvement in call deflections year/year. (Lithium Technologies, 2011)
Burberry. Social microsites secured 1,000,000 fans and a 10% increase in same-store sales. (Barnraisers, 2010)
Dell. @DellOutlet on Twitter generated $2 million direct sales, influenced $1 million addt’l (2007 – 2009). (Direct2Dell Blog, 2009)
NetApp. The NetApp community has impacted $500 million in sales and drives 28% of all NetApp web traffic. (Jive Software, 2011)
Sephora. Community users spend 2.5x more than average customers, superfans spend 10x more. (Lithium Technologies, 2011)

First-Time Homebuyer Programs in Iowa
Lush farmland, big stately homes tucked away in the countryside, and rolling hillsides along the Mississippi River – what’s not to love about living in Iowa? The Hawkeye State is considered the safest state to live in America. It has about 30 million farm acres, which cover 90% of the state, although nearly 60% of Iowa farmland owners don’t actively farm, according to Iowa State University statistics.
The safety, the tranquility, the generous space—they’re all appealing draws for anyone setting their eyes on homeownership in the Hawkeye State. If you’re a first-time homebuyer in Iowa, there are plenty of statewide and local homeownership assistance programs on hand to help you with your big purchase.
Buying your first home is an exciting milestone that takes some work. These first-time homebuyer programs can help you with everything from securing a low interest home loan to saving for a down payment or taking advantage of tax credits.
Read on to learn more about these programs, their eligibility requirements and how to apply.
Who Qualifies as a First-Time Homebuyer in Iowa?
A first-time homebuyer in Iowa is any family or individual who has never owned a home. However, for quick clarification, you’re also considered a first-time homebuyer if you haven’t owned a home in the past three years, according to the majority of these state and regional homeownership programs.
If you’re nearing the three-year mark, it may be worth waiting so you can become eligible again for any of these homeownership programs. Taking advantage of these first-time homebuyer perks could save you a lot of money through securing a lower interest rate on your mortgage or a 0% interest loan to cover your down payment.
There’s a silver lining, too. The statewide programs listed below apply to first-time homebuyers, military personnel, repeat homebuyers who haven’t owned a home in the last three years or anyone buying a home in a targeted area.
As always, when you’re doing your research, read the fine print. Also refer to limitations listed below.
Statewide Homeownership Assistance Programs
The Iowa Finance Authority (IFA) has a series of statewide assistance programs that are worth exploring for first-time homebuyers and repeat homebuyers alike. The programs include low interest home loans, down payment assistance and help for military homebuyers.
While the programs differ, the overarching requirements include being a resident of Iowa, working with a participating lender, and purchasing eligible property types which must be used as a primary residence. These programs are available across in each county.
Here’s a look at program details. We’ve also included an Iowa Department of Revenue program, which offers a specialized savings account earmarked for first-time homebuyers.
IFA First Home Program
The First Home Program connects homebuyers to local lenders. With an IFC loan, homebuyers can gain access to 25- or 30-year fixed rate mortgages with interest rates that are typically lower than the market rate and have fewer fees. Your credit score won’t affect your interest rate like conventional mortgages may. Your loan may require only 3% down and may include lower mortgage insurance too.
To help with the upfront costs, the First Home Program offers homebuyers with either a down payment assistance grant of up to $2,500 or a second mortgage of up to 5% of your home’s sale price or $5,000 (whichever is less). The second loan is repayable only when you sell or refinance your home or when your mortgage is paid in full. No monthly payment is required.
Homebuyers can also request a free Iowa Title Guaranty Owner’s Certificate at closing. With this certificate, if there’s a title issue, the guaranty steps in and assumes attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses involved with defending the title to your home. This is a rarity in Iowa, but the IFC notes that it can happen. This certificate comes at no cost to you and is an extra layer of protection.
To qualify for the First Home Program, homebuyers must adhere to country household income and home purchase price limits.
You must either be a first-time homebuyer who hasn’t owned a home in at least three years, a military member who has not taken out an IFC mortgage, or a homebuyer purchasing a home in a targeted area.
Your home purchase must be used as your primary residence, you must have a credit score of at least 640, and a debt-to-income ratio of 45% at maximum. You’ll also need to complete a homebuyer’s education course too.
To see if you qualify, use IFC’s convenient Eligibility Checker, which factors in Targeted Areas, income limits and home purchase price limits. Also check out the IFC homebuyer education course options here.
Additionally, visit First Home Program’s site to apply and find a lender.
IFA Homes for Iowans
The Homes for Iowans program is nearly identical to its First Home counterpart. Homebuyers can take advantage of securing a low interest 25- or 30-year home loan, with a smaller down payment and cheaper home insurance. They can also apply for a $2,500 grant to help with the down payment or a second mortgage of up to 5% of your home’s sale price.
The requirements are identical too – from household income, home purchase price limits, credit score, and debt-to-income ratio.
The difference? Homes for Iowans removes any requirements for real estate history – the program is fair game to anyone who is purchasing a home to use as their primary residence.
Read more about Homes for Iowans.
IFA Military Homeownership Assistance Program
Are you a military serviceman or veteran? The IFC’s Military Homeownership program was created to thank Iowa’s service members for their dedication to the country.
The program awards homebuyers who qualify a $5,000 grant to help with down payment and closing costs. You can pair this program with the First Home or Homes for Iowans programs to secure a low interest loan.
To qualify, you must be an active military person, veteran or a surviving spouse of an eligible service person who has had an honorable discharge. Homebuyers must receive prior loan approval before closing on a qualified home. They’ll need to work with an IFA participating lender.
Eligible homes must be within Iowa state limits and must be used as the primary residence. Single-family residences are allowed. This includes manufactured homes as long as they’re attached to a permanent foundation.
Check out the Military Homeownership Assistance Program for more details.
IFA Mortgage Credit Certificate Program
The MCC, offered by the Iowa Finance Authority, provides eligible first-time homebuyers a non-refundable federal income tax credit used with your first mortgage. In a nutshell, it reduces your federal income taxes, creating additional income for you.
The tax credit amount can be up to 50% of your annual mortgage interest paid and is available annually as long as the home remains as your primary residence. Homeowners with the MCC are allowed to use a percentage of their actual mortgage interest as a direct dollar-for-dollar federal tax credit. The official website notes there may be a $2,000 cap.
Read more about the Mortgage Credit Certificate here.
First-Time Homebuyer Savings Account
The Iowa Department of Revenue established a First-Time Homebuyers Savings Account – or FTHSA, which is a special type of bank account to help Iowans save for their home. Account holders can contribute up to $2,000 (or $4,000 joint) tax-free each year to a dedicated down payment savings account. You can save up to a lifetime maximum of $20,000 tax-free. Accounts can even be created for any beneficiary.
The cash in your savings account can only be used for expenses related to buying your first home, specifically for your down payment and closing costs.
To qualify, you must be a first-time homebuyer or a buyer who hasn’t owned a home in at least three years. Your contributions must remain in your account for at least 90 days before use and your contributions can’t remain in your account for longer than a decade.
Most banks across Iowa offer this savings account. Check with your bank to start the process.
Read more about the FTHSA on its Iowa Department of Revenue program page.
Individual Development Accounts (IDA)
In 2009, the Iowa Department of Human Rights organized an Individual Development Accounts to help low-income working Iowans save for higher education, job training, buying a home, or purchasing assistance technology for a family member with a disability.
Eligible Iowans can qualify for up to $2,000 in state matched funds for their savings.
Read more about the Individual Development Account on its official website.
Homebuyer Programs by Location in Iowa
While the statewide programs listed above can give you a financial boost, there are plenty local homebuyer assistance programs across Iowa that are generous with financial aid.
The programs are a mixed bag – some are exclusively for first-time homebuyers or anyone who hasn’t owned a home in the past three years, while others shift the focus to those in a lower-income bracket. Read more for our full rundown of local programs.
Are you house hunting in Cedar Rapids? Pleasantly nicknamed the City of Five Seasons, Cedar Rapids offers its own First-Time Homebuyer Program, which provides between $1,000 and $15,000 in down payment and closing cost assistance to eligible homebuyers. The assistance is forgiven after five years of homeownership, so it doesn’t need to be repaid.
To be eligible, there are four main criteria: you must be a first-time homebuyer, and you must meet income requirements, home eligibility requirements, and debt and mortgage criteria. As always, you’ll need to complete a homebuyer’s education course.
Visit the program’s official Cedar Rapids page for more information.
Are you shopping for a new home in Des Moines? Iowa’s capital city has the largest real estate market in the state with over 20 new home communities. Des Moines also pours its funding for homeownership assistance into a handful of the city’s non-profit partners.
Home Inc., for example, runs a string of programs to help current homeowners pay for much needed repairs and renovations. Rebuilding Together is aimed at helping rehabilitate homes of veterans, seniors, people with disabilities and families with dependent children, while Rock the Block helps low-income homeowners with renovations for weatherization, safety, accessibility or beautification.
The Neighborhood Finance Corporation offers a Purchase Program, providing homebuyers with a forgivable loan of up to $10,000, which must be used to help to purchase your home or make renovations. You can also apply for a first mortgage loan of up to $300,000 and a second mortgage loan worth up to 15% of your home’s purchase price at 2% interest for 10 years. Down payment and closing costs assistance are available in most lending areas.
To qualify, the emphasis is on buying in an NFC lending area in Des Moines (or Cedar Rapids).
Read more about the Des Moines programs on the city’s official website.
House hunters in Dubuque should zero in on the city’s True North Homebuyer Program. It provides long-term, 0% interest loans of up to 20% of their home’s purchase price to help locals with their down payment. The maximum loan amount is $25,000 and you won’t have to repay a penny until you sell or refinance your home.
To qualify, you must meet income requirements, complete a homebuyer’s education course, and you contribute at least 3% of your home’s price in your purchase; you are responsible for contributing 1% but 2% can be gifted money.
You can read all about the True North Homebuyer Program on the City of Dubuque’s website. The details income the income guidelines you’ll need to follow, the full requirements and contact details for next steps.
Rural Iowa
Whether you’re in Bremer, Calhoun, Greene, Hamilton, or Humboldt, Homeward Inc. has a Down Payment Assistance Program that provides up to $7,000 as a half grant and half loan. The $3,500 loan is repaid over the course of 5 years at 4% or over the course of a decade at 5%.
Homeward Inc. was created in 1996 by a group of Iowa’s rural electric cooperatives to help the state’s rural communities. The organization has provided over $6.9 million in down payment and home improvement loans to nearly 2,000 rural families since its inception.
Homeward Inc.’s programs are aimed at helping its 25-county area reach. To be eligible, your home must be in one of these counties and in a community of less than 20,000 residents.
Read more about the Homeward Inc. Down Payment Assistance Program on its website, or via its official brochure. You can complete an application here.
If your heart is set on buying a home in Waterloo-Cedar Falls, the Waterloo Housing Authority operates a Down Payment Assistance Program that provides eligible applicants with a forgivable second mortgage. The amount varies per homebuyer.
The focus is on helping low-income households obtain a home. Homebuyers cannot exceed 80% of the median income for their area. They must be a current resident of Waterloo for at least one year, complete a homebuyer’s education course, and they must not have owned a home for the last three years. Check out details of the WHA Down Payment Assistance Program.
The City’s Community Development Center also operates its own Waterloo Down Payment Assistance Program. In this case, first-time homebuyers can apply for up to $5,000 in funding, provided as a five-year forgivable loan. As long as you manage your mortgage and use your home as your primary residence for 5 years, you won’t have to repay the loan.
The City also has a New Construction Down Payment Assistance Program, which provides homebuyers with a forgivable loan that could range from 25% up to 30% of their home’s sales price. The catch? You’ll need to buy a new construction home in a targeted area, you must be income eligible and you need to work with a participating lender.
Read more about the New Construction Down Payment Assistance Program.
Wright County
Home buyers in Wright County will want to look into the Home Purchase Assistance Program. The program offers a second mortgage loan of up to 10% of your home’s purchase price, to a maximum of $8,000. The cash can be used for your down payment, closing costs, or home repairs required by your lender.
The loan must be repaid in 5 years with an interest rate that matches your home loan.
To be eligible, you’ll need to submit a budget that demonstrates that you can manage second loan repayments, use the home as your primary residence and purchase a home within Wright County limits.
There are no income guidelines and no restrictions on repeat homebuyers.
Check out the Home Purchase Assistance Program.

New Partner Artist: OMI
“Oh, I think that I found myself a cheerleader, she is always right there when I need her.” In the past 2 months, it’s been hard not to sing-a-long with this catchy-fun tune. This tune leaped it’s way to number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 a month ago and is still sitting pretty at #2.!
Creator of the song, Omi, is a reggae artist based out of Jamaica, where he started his musical career in 2008! Fun Fact: Omi began developing the song “Cheerleader” in 2008, and it topped the charts in Jamaica before it eventually got picked up by Ultra Records when Omi was on tour in the states! A global sensation, the single has been certified platinum several times over in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Sweden, New Zealand, the UK, and the US.
Now you can sing Cheerleader with Omi on Smule!

Troy Michigan’s April Real Estate Market
access_time May 25, 2018 personGwen DaubenmeyerhomeBlog Home
Last week we looked at Rochester Michigan’s Real Estate Market and this week we turn our attention to Troy Michigan’s April Real Estate Market. Both of these areas are where we do a lot of real estate work. In fact, here’s a current home we have that is listed in the Troy area.
We’ll start by looking at the homes for sale in April with a comparison of year over year starting in 2016. You’ll note that in April of 2016 Troy had 298 homes for sale followed by 202 homes in 2017 and down to 191 homes in 2018. That is a -5.4 percent drop in inventory of homes from 2017.
When the inventory is down, generally speaking, the time on the market usually corresponds to a shorter period of selling time. Let’s see how accurate that statement is. In 2016 the average days on market in April for Troy were 43 days and in 2017 it went down to 32 days on market. When we look at 2018 we see a further drop to 28 days on market with a -12.5 percent drop from 2017. So yes, shorter time because of less competition.
Next, we look at the familiar graph of Months Supply of Homes for Sale. It is worth reviewing what exactly this means again. The Supply of Homes for Sale is the measure of how many months it would take for the current inventory of homes on the market to sell, given the current pace of home sales. For example, if there are 50 homes on the market and 10 homes selling each month, there is a 5 month supply of homes for sale. (definition supplied by Findwell.com) If you have questions about the meaning or anything else, please contact me. I’d be happy to explain in detail.
If you look at the current graph below you will see that back in 2016 the Months Supply of Homes for Sale in Troy was 3.8 months and in 2017 it decreased to 2.6 months which was a -31.6 percent drop. In 2018, however, the Months Supply of Homes for Sale decreased to 2.5 months which was a -3.8 percent drop.
So just like in Rochester, Michigan, the current market situation makes it crucial that a buyer has a buyer’s representative because moving quickly, knowing how to negotiate and with purpose is what will get you into your next home. You don’t want to lose that dream home. If you are considering a sale of your Troy home then there’s no better time then the present! Give me a call. I would love to discuss this with you further. No pressure, but just know that I’m here when you are ready!

Martyrdom and the Afterlife in Islam:
Analyzing Theological Justifications in Extremist Ideologies
The field of study that focuses on martyrdom and modern Islamic extremism is often approached from a singular caveat. Contemporarily, analyzing terrorist ideologies originates from a counterterrorism security perspective. The specific motivations of offensive martyrdom are perceived, as well as stereotyped, as an extension of Islamic rationales. While this theological connection is widely held as conventional wisdom, new research has rendered this approach antiquated and thus deemed the former conclusion to be arbitrary. Instead, an examination of extremist theologies in terms of their relationship with the afterlife has now yielded to the common wisdom. This intriguing yet overlooked route of investigation provides signature insights to the patterns of Sunni and Shia martyrdom.
The two extremist groups under examination are Hezbollah and Al-Qaeda. They both claim to be theologically justified in their actions, as well as sharing similar aims in their tactics; the basis for their ideologies is an appeal to Islamic scripture. In order to illuminate the specific arguments or underlying themes, a survey of relevant scripture will be included and scrutinized. These extremist organizations’ doctrines were analyzed and related to the nationalist theory of suicide attacks. The result is an interesting mesh between underlying goals covered by a proclaimed religious justification.
Forever Bound to the Scripture
Theological justification for actions, especially within the Abrahamic traditions, are inherently inseparable from their respective scriptures. A trilogy of religions penned by different perspectives, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam bare similar hallmarks in their prophetic traditions. Judaism is the cardinal ancestor of these traditions, and the subsequent theologies presuppose their predecessors’ foundations. Essentially, Christianity adopts Judaism, including the Torah along with the New Testament in order to create the Christian Bible. Islam, however, adopts a more revisionist platform. The claim of the Koran, and the greater Islamic faith, is that the prior Abrahamic revelations have been tainted, thus requiring this final adjustment. In a sense, the Koran serves as the ‘Final Testament’ in conjunction to the Old Testament and the New Testament. Albeit, Christianity does not recognize the continuation of the Koran as relevant to Christian theology, just as Judaism does not wholly recognize the New Testament as a valid continuation of their tradition. However, from the revisionist perspectives of the subsequent revelations, the newly prescribed suppositions coalesce with successive theologies – like how Christians see the Torah as prophecy for the New Testament.
There are two sacred texts in Islam: the Koran and the Hadith. The Koran, to faithful Muslims, is the word of God as revealed to the prophet Mohamed. In terms of authoritative supremacy in Islam, nothing comes close to the scripture contained in the Koran. However, there does exist a companion set of texts known as the Hadith, which is a collection of the Prophet Mohamed’s sayings. The quotes include well-known sayings of the Prophet, attributions [1], and contextual questions from the general public of seventh century Arabia. Meticulous dictation and record keeping have produced an expansive collection of the prophet’s sayings over a myriad of subjects. Two subjects that are in both the Koran and the Hadith explicitly tie in to the context of this study: suicide and martyrdom.[2]
The act of suicide is extremely taboo in nearly every culture known to man. Likewise, suicide is a phenomenon that transcends ideological bounds and happens because of the human condition. The Islamic tradition explicitly forbids suicide in the Koran:
"2:195 Spend in God's Cause: do not contribute to your own destruction with your own hands, but do good, for God loves those who do good."[3]
However, a saying from the Prophet Mohamed found in the Hadith elaborates on the punishment awaiting those in the afterlife who commit suicide:
"Sahih Muslim, Volume 1, Chapter 48, 199: It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) observed: He who killed himself with steel (weapon) would be the eternal denizen of the Fire of Hell and he would have that weapon in his hand and would be thrusting that in his stomach for ever and ever, he who drank poison and killed himself would sip that in the Fire of Hell where he is doomed for ever and ever; and he who killed himself by falling from (the top of) a mountain would constantly fall in the Fire of Hell and would live there for ever and ever."[4]
The consequence described has quite a macabre irony to it. Those who choose to end their own lives must then spend eternity in that terminal moment of self-destruction. Prophet Mohamed makes it quite clear that suicide is a grave sin in Islam.
There are more passages in the Koran devoted to martyrdom than suicide. Here is what the Koran has to say about martyrdom, as represented by the two most commonly cited passages:
"3:139-140 Do not lose heart or despair - if you are true believers you have the upper hand - (140) If you have suffered a blow, they too have suffered one like it. We deal out such days among people in turn, for God to find out who truly believes, for Him to choose martyrs from among you - God does not love evildoers."[5]
The language and tone of this specific passage is quite terse in its pronouncement and does not immediately elaborate on the afterlife benefits associated with martyrdom, but rather emphasizes the positive nature of martyrdom. Another Surah discusses martyrdom:
"4:74-76 Let those of you who are willing to trade the life of this word for the life to come, fight in God's way. To anyone who fights in God's way, whether killed or victorious, We shall give a great reward. (75) Why should you not fight in God's cause and for those oppressed men, women, and children who cry out, 'Lord, rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors! By your grace, give us a protector and give us a helper!'? (76) The believers fight for God's cause, while those who reject faith fight for an unjust cause."[6]
This passage combines the plight of the disenfranchised to rally those who are willing to fight in the name of Islam. The intent is to motivate participation in Jihad, even to the extent of martyrdom. In these passages, some ambiguity exists regarding the explicit will of proactive martyrdom. While the Koran certainly glorifies martyrdom, that does not serve as automatic encouragement.
However, the Hadith paints a starkly different picture of martyrdom. This first account is quite telling in terms of enthusiastic martyrdom:
"Muslim, Chapter 41, Book 20, Number 4678: It has been reported on the authority of Jabir that a man said: Messenger of Allah, where shall I be if I am killed? He replied: In Paradise. The man threw away the dates he had in his hand and fought until he was killed."[7]
The most explicit call for martyrdom in the Hadith, and veritably in Islamic scripture, suggests an endorsement for those who outwardly struggle in God’s cause:
"Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 54: Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "By Him in Whose Hands my life is! Were it not for some men amongst the believers who dislike to be left behind me and whom I cannot provide with means of conveyance, I would certainly never remain behind any Sariya' (army-unit) setting out in Allah's Cause. By Him in Whose Hands my life is! I would love to be martyred in Allah’s Cause and then get resurrected and then get martyred, and then get resurrected again and then get martyred and then get resurrected again and then get martyred.””[8]
A troubling passage, this Hadith certainly has wide appeal even in modern times. The repetition of the Prophet’s desire to become engulfed in a continuous loop of martyrdom establishes the focus quite well. During battles, the Prophet could have easily used this dramatic refrain to boost morale and inspire martyrs. These six excerpts from the sacred Islamic scriptures are crucial for understanding the framing of the extremist ideologies that appeal to religious text or motifs to justify their theological models.
The Chicago Project on Suicide Terrorism
The Chicago Project on Suicide Terrorism challenged the link between Islam and suicide attacks. Their massive research efforts, headed by Chicago University’s Dr. Robert Pape, uncovered some fascinating revelations. In his book Dying to Win, Pape chronicles every known instance of suicide attacks in the world, totaling 315 attacks, from 1980 to 2003.[9] His analysis of these attacks provided unprecedented insight to the mechanics of suicide attacks as an act of resistance and terrorism. Pape constructed a new hypothesis for why organizations use suicide bombings and found a cardinal notion that transcends numerous locations, religions, and ideologies. The common denominator was nationalism.
The nationalist theory of suicide terrorism contains four major elements: occupation, value of the homeland, catalyst of the conflict, and religious difference. The first is occupation, or “the exertion of political control over territory by an outside group.”[10] The threat of an outside force is a compelling factor for resistance groups. Fueling the disdain for occupation is the second element, “the value of the homeland.”[11] The value of the nation is the heart of nationalism. Man’s historic tie to the land is a common motivating factor for war in much of recorded history. Nationalism can be a positive force for domestic cohesion, but can also yield horrific atrocities during a time of war. The third element is the “catalyst of the conflict,” which is comprised of three important categories: zero-sum conflict, demonization, and legitimacy for martyrdom.[12] In a zero-sum conflict, perceiving a lack of sovereignty by the indigenous population drives conflict. Both the visual presence of the occupation force and the lack of control over local resources are the fuel for this parameter. Demonization often arises from religious differences and results in the “belief that the enemy is morally inferior as well as militarily dangerous, and so must be dealt with harshly.”[13] Religious difference is also a major motivator for martyrdom’s legitimacy. This is a key element for extremists in that “it reduces the degree of manipulation necessary to re-define acts of suicide and murder as acts of martyrdom for the defense of the community.”[14]
The formula and resulting pattern outlined by Pape is a convincing look at the phenomenon of suicide terrorism. The nationalist aspect accounts for the uncharacteristic and often spontaneous appearance of suicide attacks in a country just after an occupation has taken place. Furthermore, it reconciles the precipitating factors of a multitude of different occupation scenarios. Instead of just leaving it at occupation, Pape also analyzes the two, separate, extremist ideologies of Hezbollah and al-Qaeda in terms of their respective theologies, as opposed to the nationalist theory of suicide terrorism.
Inside the Strategy of Extremist Ideologies
Fundamentalist denominations exist in limited numbers and represent fringe ends of the religious spectrum. In terms of religious extremism, representation shrinks even more. How religious extremism manifests itself in public life is often times cause for concern. The overwhelming public perception of religious extremism is a result of the violent portrayals in the news media. Outside of this security aspect, concerns also arise from how religious fundamentalists will behave in a democratic government. The modus operandi of Islamic extremist ideologies assumes primary Sunni or Shia doctrine, but then forges a specific set of behaviors needed to accomplish the organization’s goals.
Hezbollah and al-Qaeda are similar machines, but have taken different paths. They built their tactics upon the same basic foundation of resistance and asymmetric warfare, but the overall scope of operations and field of targeting is vastly different. Nevertheless, as a principal of asymmetric shahid [15] operations, justification through scripture is undertaken with great care.[16] Both proclaim that their understanding of Islamic theology supports certain actions, but arbitrary liberties are taken as well. Each organization bases its foundation in occupation resistance, but their observable differences are indicative of their specific theologies.
The backdrop for the foundation of Hezbollah was “the mass destruction wreaked by Israel’s 1982 invasion [of Lebanon].”[17] The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) justified the occupation of Southern Lebanon by framing the continued conflict in Lebanon, as well as the presence of the Palestinian Liberation organization (PLO), as a threat to the security of the State of Israel. The IDF campaign was successful in expelling much of the PLO, but inadvertently created a new enemy. The ubiquitous demonization of the Jewish state in Arab lands was an early catalyst for the formation of Hezbollah in the summer of 1982. Shia groups in southern Lebanon became increasingly Islamist and a desire for militarization grew as the IDF occupation continued.
Hezbollah has always been a militarized and intensely nationalist organization in Lebanon. The introduction of the charter appeals to Islamic considerations, citing “solid doctrinal and religious connection of Islam, whose message God wanted to be fulfilled by the Seal of the Prophets” as their guideline.[18] Hezbollah also asserts their Shiism and connections to Iran by declaring their adherence to velayat-e-faqih,[19] and stating “We obey the orders of one leader, wise and just, that of our tutor and faqih (jurist) who fulfills all the necessary conditions: Ruhollah Musawi Khomeini.”[20] Even in light of their explicitly nationalist aims, Hezbollah also makes an appeal to “Muslims of the whole world” and “Muslims in Afghanistan, Iraq, the Philippines and elsewhere.”[21] Nevertheless, Iranian influence on Hezbollah is unmistakable, insofar as Ayatollah Khomeini’s further influence on Hezbollah theology. When clearing minefields during the Iraq-Iran conflict, Khomeini assured the children who would walk across the minefields to clear a path that "The purest joy in Islam is to kill and be killed for Allah."[22]
From this declaration of theology, their charter makes an abrupt shift. The common anti-West rhetoric emerges, charging the U.S. for the interventionist policies at play in Lebanon. This is the driving motivator behind the formation of Hezbollah. In their attempt to combat the occupation, Hezbollah embarked upon a pioneering role. They are considered the forefathers of suicide bombings in violent Islamist extremism in the Middle East.[23] Bolstering their justification of such acts was “Khomeini’s ruling on the permissibility of martyrdom operations.”[24] Hezbollah’s most successful and most infamous attack was perpetrated against U.S. military assets stationed in Lebanon. In April 1983, Hezbollah launched a devastatingly successful campaign, killing 241 U.S. Marines in Beirut.[25] Hezbollah essentially declared any occupying force to be a valid target.
Hezbollah then continued a campaign against Israeli assets with similar effect. Hezbollah’s efforts culminated in the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon in the summer of 2000.[26] Israel’s retreat from Lebanon legitimated Hezbollah in Lebanon and in the region. This led to unprecedented support of Hezbollah and started a shift from within the organization. Their perspective turned to domestic affairs and Hezbollah entered the democratic processes of the Lebanese government. Hezbollah’s path to democratization has greatly benefited their movement and Lebanon. In 2001, after the September 11th attacks, Hezbollah vocally condemned the Al-Qaeda strikes and criticized the strike on a purely civilian target.
The Hezbollah case study of suicide attacks in the context of the Chicago Project on Suicide Terrorism serves as a perfect model of Pape’s nationalism theory. Their ideological aims are stoked by nationalist ideals, supported by Islamic principles. When the Israeli occupation of Lebanon ended and the Shia population of southern Lebanon, including Hezbollah, felt that their sovereignty had been reasserted, the need for suicide tactics no longer existed. Since the Israeli withdrawal, Hezbollah has not employed suicide tactics, a policy they maintained even during their 2006 war with Israel. Even with this shift, Hezbollah is still a fervently Shia Islamist movement and endorses martyrdom, but they no longer apply heinous suicide tactics.
Al-Qaeda has a different base of operation altogether. Even within the organization, there are divergent perspectives of what constitutes ‘al-Qaeda.’ For the purpose of this analysis, a few clarifications are required. All references are to the classic understanding of the al-Qaeda ideology, pre-2010. In the latter years of Usama bin Laden’s life, his al-Qaeda brand had shifted from a fairly condensed hierarchy to a franchisee operation. Groups affiliated with al-Qaeda were deemed to be actual al-Qaeda as a result of the Global War on Terrorism narrative. Furthermore, the increased reclusiveness of bin Laden opened an internal power vacuum where the traditional authority of command roles changed significantly. What still gives the original al-Qaeda organization as well as the recent Al-Qaeda franchises their ‘al-Qaeda-ness’ is their connection to Bin Laden’s ideological platform.
The cult of personality surrounding Bin Laden was a major driver in the ascension of al-Qaeda. His vast resources and anti-West, anti-American stances served as great recruitment tools. Concerning the theological foundation of Al-Qaeda as an Extremist Sunni organization, Bin Laden’s fatwas in 1996 and 1998 are the literary manifestations of al-Qaeda’s constitution. Written by Bin Laden alone, the 1996 fatwa is formally titled, “Declaration of War against the Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holy Places.” The 1996 fatwa is a prolonged rant against the West and laced with scriptural references. However, the 1998 fatwa is relatively concise and features the signature of Bin Laden, but also with the addition of Ayman al-Zawahiri, who is the current leader of Al-Qaeda, post-Bin Laden’s death.
While Usama bin Laden’s authority as a religious leader is not recognized outside of Al-Qaeda or few other fringe extremist groups, the arguments he makes in the 1996 fatwa are somewhat theologically compelling:
"Martyr privileges are guaranteed by Allah; forgiveness with the first gush of his blood, he will be shown his seat in paradise, he will be decorated with the jewels of belief, married off to the beautiful ones, protected from the test in the grave, assured security in the day of Judgement, crowned with the crown of dignity, a ruby of which is better than this whole world and its' entire content, wedded to 72 of the pure Houries and his intercession on the behalf of 70 of his relatives will be accepted."[27]
His theological references incorporate Surahs from the Koran, passages of Hadith, and Islamic imagery of the afterlife. Bin Laden reiterates the reward for martyrdom in an attempt to compel the potential follower to sacrifice his life for the cause of Al-Qaeda. The expansive fatwa is laced with subtle and not-so-subtle political components, but the overwhelmingly disproportionate amount of theological citations buries them in a clever manner.
The 1998 fatwa aimed at a broader audience, to fully harness the wide range of anti-American extremism. It summarizes quite a bit of the 1996 fatwa and is less founded upon direct theological citations. The thesis of the fatwa is:
"The United States has been occupying the lands of Islam in the holiest of places, the Arabian Peninsula, plundering its riches, dictating to its rulers, humiliating its people, terrorizing its neighbors, and turning its bases in the Peninsula into a spearhead through which to fight the neighboring Muslim peoples."[28]
This is a direct allusion to the Koran 4:74-76, setting the same stage as Mohamed found himself in. It also asserts the transnational organization of Al-Qaeda by including the entire Arabian Peninsula and Ayman al-Zawahiri, who at that time was operating out of Egypt.
The variety of suicide attack signatures [29] used by Al-Qaeda, as well as the geographically diverse locations of the attacks, has made reconciliation with Pape’s nationalism model difficult. The CPOST study was initially published in 2005. Since then, paradigm shifting developments, as well as the removal of Bin Laden, has altered the original input data. The franchise model of Al-Qaeda has shown that while the common philosophy is transnational in nature, the Al-Qaeda franchises are now more organic to their area of operation. The franchises are now dubbed ‘Al-Qaeda in [insert country or region name here].’ Without the central leadership, Al-Qaeda has now morphed into a loosely coordinated set of nationalist franchises. Additionally so, when theological justifications for an attack on a purely civilian target are stretched thin, the anti-American/anti-West rhetoric is present in great amount. So while the Al-Qaeda of old did not wholly coalesce with Pape’s model, the modern franchisee incarnation adheres to his outline.
Moving the Global Community Forward
While this dissonance between theology, nationalism, and perception is grasped by academics and analyzed in reports, it must also be conveyed to the masses. Educating the affected public is the key to this issue. In terms of educating people subjected to the onslaught of suicide terrorism, education will play a role here as well. The justifications used by extremist organizations will be exposed for what they are: nationalistic and not theological. Such is the case with Hezbollah. Since Lebanon’s sovereignty has been maintained, Hezbollah has had to operate more in the political theater than in a theater of war. Conversely, al-Qaeda has splintered and become a franchisee establishment. In doing this, the individual al-Qaeda affiliated factions have proliferated since the fall of classic al-Qaeda in 2011, because of the infusion of more nationalist mantras. Islam finds itself at a crossroads of public opinion and public perception.
The scripture for the support of martyrdom is alarming, but the emphasis is incumbent on the individual Muslim – or to the outside intelligence analyst. Islamic extremists certainly have an easy time injecting their own sinister ends into ideology and theology. In the case of Hezbollah and Al-Qaeda, their respective theologies are in a top-down model. The organization’s commanders and leaders are able to construct an argument that, while vague at best, can help justify their implicit goals. As demonstrated, when examined in realist terms a la Pape’s CPOST Study, the explanation for martyrdom and resistance become separated from Islamic theology. Nevertheless, while overlaps in various justifications exist between Islamic theology and Pape’s occupation model, the latter serves as a better rubric. If the West becomes educated on the multifaceted issue of suicide terrorism, they would see Islam is not some inherent threat. Yes, this – or any – religion can be co-opted, but nothing makes Islamic theology inherently more deadly than Christianity or Judaism.

Don’t Preach in My Classroom and I Won’t Think in Your Church
“I cannot believe — and I say this with all the emphasis
of which I am capable — that there can ever be any good excuse
for refusing to face the evidence in favour of something unwelcome.
It is not by delusion, however exalted, that mankind can prosper,
but only by unswerving courage in the pursuit of truth.”
-Bertrand Russell. Fact and Fiction, 1994
Evolution is a magnet for visceral controversy and debate. This maxim holds true whether examining the scientific theory of evolution or the numerous court cases that have argued the merits of both sides – for and against the teaching of evolution as well as the call for equal time for creationism and/or Intelligent Design. This ongoing battle in United States courts has lasted nearly a century and is sure to continue as time progresses. Along the way, this debate will continue to confront theological understanding, scientific discovery, and legal precedents. Both sides have a base that is diverse and expansive, but one group has its evidence rooted in science while the other has theirs rooted in theology. Both views have at one point challenged the status quo, but there can be only one valid scientific theory regarding the explanation for the origin of species.
The history of this question would culminate in the Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District court case just six years ago. Examining the main questions and the general arc of the associated history therein will serve to frame the current state of this ongoing national debate. The evolution debate is certainly a pressing and intriguing issue that has already had its fifteen minutes in the public spotlight and will most certainly have its day in the United States Supreme Court in the coming years. Therefore, providing the context with which to properly view the Kitzmiller v. Dover case is integral to understanding the future implications of this debate. Ultimately which lens, scientific or theological, one needs to look towards the future with will become clear.
Legal Principle in Question
In accordance with the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, the federal and state governments must be in agreement with the Establishment Clause. Thus the legal principle in question surrounding the evolution debate is the establishment of religion. The state cannot endorse theological ideologies, tacit or implied, by way of public services offered. The public education provided to the denizens of a state, city, township, district, etc. is a direct extension of the government and therefore funded directly by taxpayer money. The providers of public education have to walk the fine line of education and establishment concerning the sensitive areas of religion and biological science, such as the teaching of the history of humans.
Historically, the debate concerning the establishment of religion has been about teaching the history of religion’s role in the U.S. and throughout the development of western culture. While the simple answer seems to be just to remove all religious references when teaching these subjects, this protocol has no validity in application. While this aggressive blanket protocol might solve the problem of the state sponsoring religion, a student will not be able to understand today’s society or even the modern world without the juxtaposition of religious influence onto historical periods. The sentiment of the courts and the general public seems to be that as long as there is no proselytization, religious history can be taught as historical fact and religious texts can be examined as purely literary works. It is clear that the government—state or federal—cannot advocate or establish a religion, but the question has now come to a matter of to which degree should the state support religion?
There is still a rift, however, concerning the concept – or rather the misnomer – that religion and science are in direct conflict with each other. Proponents of the theory of evolution, most notably Dr. Richard Dawkins, need to operate within their field of study and not leave the lab to pursue the arena of pseudo-philosophy. Likewise, religious authorities - mainly Christian Evangelical Fundamentalists[1] - need to understand that Genesis is not a science book and that when theology steps out of the metaphysical realm, it only advocates pseudo-science. The perception that evolution is an assault on conventional theism has given rise to the pushback manifested in the likes of (the now defunct) creationism and, more recently, Intelligent Design.
The Evolution of the Evolution Debate
The start of this ongoing series of court battles can be traced back to the 1927 John Thomas Scopes v. The State of Tennessee case. The Scopes trial set the state precedent that it was constitutional to teach the theory of evolution in a classroom setting. The debate has since morphed into the question of ‘equal-time,’ as seen first in the 1975 Daniel v. Waters court case in Tennessee. This new argument was that Evolution was to be taught in conjunction with Creationism, affording equal time in the classroom to both concepts. This precedent was used over 40 years later in the 1968 Epperson v. Arkansas U.S. Supreme Court case to allow evolution to be taught free from persecution anywhere in the country.
The public perceived that ‘God’ had been removed from the public school classrooms across America. This is when the religious right and the fundamentalist Christians introduced the idea that removing God from the history of the origin of man strips away any morality humanity may have, away.[2] The memory of Nazi Germany’s war crimes still lingered in the annals of history, and thus the ruling provoked a fear that this potential removal of morality could create a resurgence of eugenics in modern society too reminiscent of the Nazi death camps and the underlying message of Hitler’s ‘final solution.’ This idea motivated proponents of creationism to promote the reintroduction of religious values in American education.
The response by the anti-evolutionists was a doctrine of ‘equal time’ in the classroom for the theologically anchored theories in opposition to evolution. To counter the fact that evolution could now be taught in the classroom, anti-evolutionists asserted that creationism should be offered as an alternative theory, to be implemented in as a side by side comparison in science classrooms. However, this idea was struck down in Tennessee, during the Daniel v. Waters case in 1975, which did proceed up to the district court but failed to make it to the Supreme Court. But only two years later, this issue returned to the courts, this time in Indiana, in the 1977 Hendren v. Campbell case. The issue this time was the textbook that was proposed to teach creationism in public schools and its inherent promotion of biblical creationism.[3] Once again, the judge struck down the teaching of creationism in the classrooms of Indiana. While this was an obvious milestone for removing pseudo-scientific creationism from public schools, it still only applied to the individual state of Indiana. This trend of ruling the teaching of creationism as an infringement on the Establishment Clause continued with the 1982 case McLean v. Arkansas. This case was nearly identical to the Daniel v. Waters case but with a different location—Arkansas.
The question of equal time for creationism would finally be answered in 1987. Anti-creationist sentiment had spread all the way down to Louisiana, revealing itself in the case of Edwards v. Aguillard. This court case again dealt with the issue of teaching creationism alongside evolution in a public school classroom. Different about this case, however, was that it made it to the U.S. Supreme Court. The Edwards v. Aguillard case was a formidable success for the Evolutionist camp. Drawing from the precedents and merits of the previous cases concerning creationism, the Supreme Court knocked down the notion of equal time for creationism and evolution in the science classroom. The implications of the ruling meant that teaching creationism as a scientific theory in class was banned on the federal level, putting the final nail into the coffin of creationism as a teachable scientific theory.
What arose from this landmark decision were the reheated leftovers of creationism or, depending on perception, an entirely new scientific theory to combat the monopoly of Darwin’s theory of evolution in public classrooms. Introduced was the ‘Intelligent Design movement.’ This new attempt to inject an alternative view about the origin of life into American classrooms emerged suspiciously and suddenly after the deathblow creationists had suffered in the 1987 ruling. This new movement would buy more time for an alternative theory to evolution, as Intelligent Design (ID) had a twenty-year run before it faced its day of reckoning in court. The proponents of ID—Michael Behe, The Discovery Institute, (to a lesser extent) and the Biologic Institute—as well as the overall support from the conservative religious right had to go through the paces and fend off the intellectuals that had already taken down the theory of creation science.[4] Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District was the first place that a court had heard arguments for or against ID as well as its new challenges to the theory of evolution.
The Facts of Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District
The Dover Area School District, located in Dover, Pennsylvania, was sued by the students’ parents for changing the school curriculum and their subsequent use of the Of Pandas and People biology textbook that taught Intelligent Design alongside the scientific theory of evolution as a viable alternative explanation for the origin of species. When the parents found out that a scientific disclaimer was to be tacked onto any discussion of Darwinian evolution and also followed by a lesson and discussion regarding ID, they marched into the school board meeting in unprecedented numbers. After exhausting all channels within the school district’s official bylaws, the parents took their plight to the middle district court of Pennsylvania. This was the first time the fledgling Intelligent Design movement was heavily scrutinized by a public audience. This fact became increasingly obvious as the trial proceeded.
Judge John E. Jones III, a Republican-nominated Judge appointed by then President George W. Bush, presided over the court. Arguments for the case began on September 26, 2005, and lasted just over a month, ending on November 4, 2005. This court case became a lightning rod for national attention, as both sides called in their respective heavyweights. The most notable faceoff ensued between Dr. Michael J. Behe from the ID movement and Dr. Kenneth R. Miller from the Darwinian evolution camp. Both men claimed to be Roman Catholic and both were leading experts in their respective fields. These two men were integral to the outcome of the case.
There are two ways in which teaching ID in public schools can be deemed unconstitutional: its similarities to creationism and whether it establishes or advocates a religion. Under heavy scrutiny was how ID was to be taught in the classroom. The plaintiffs subpoenaed the publishers of the textbook and as a result obtained a pre-1987 Aguillard decision edition of the book. They compared the definitions of “creation” in the older version to the definition of Intelligent Design in the latest edition. The definitions are below in order:
“Creation means that the various forms of life began abruptly through an intelligent creator, with their distinctive features already intact – fish with fins and scales, birds with feathers, beaks, and wings, etc.” [5]
“Intelligent Design means that the various forms of life began abruptly through an intelligent agency, with their distinctive features already intact – fish with fins and scales, birds with feathers, beaks, and wings, etc.” [6]
So according to the ID movement’s own propaganda, the only difference between Intelligent Design and creationism is roughly three words. A point of even greater concern is the definition’s striking likeness to the creation accounts in the book of Genesis, at least in the King James Bible:
“And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl [that] may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good.”[7]
Of Pandas and People even used the examples of marine life and birds to demonstrate its theory. The text book definitions describe this account of Biblical creation. This indeed diminishes ID’s credibility as a scientific theory and links it closer to the criteria of being simply the reheated leftovers of creationism. Furthermore, old publications of Of Pandas and People revealed where the transformation from creationist to design proponent took place: on numerous pages, a typo had occurred—“cdesign proponentsists.”[8] What seemed to be an automated search for “creationists” in the preexisting text resulted in a failed attempt to change “creationists” into “design proponents.”[9]
Dr. Behe failed to make a case for Intelligent Design. “Defense expert Professor Fuller agreed that ID aspires to ‘change the ground rules’ of science and lead defense expert Professor Behe admitted that his broadened definition of science, which encompasses ID, would also embrace astrology. Moreover, defense expert Professor Minnich acknowledged that for ID to be considered science, the ground rules of science have to be broadened to allow consideration of supernatural forces.”[10] "On cross-examination, Professor Behe admitted that: “There are no peer reviewed articles by anyone advocating for Intelligent Design supported by pertinent experiments or calculations which provide detailed rigorous accounts of how Intelligent Design of any biological system occurred.” Additionally, Professor Behe conceded that there are no peer-reviewed papers supporting his claims that complex molecular systems, like the bacterial flagellum, the blood-clotting cascade, and the immune system, were intelligently designed."[11] Furthermore, “Professor Behe remarkably and unmistakably claims that the plausibility of the argument for ID depends upon the extent to which one believes in the existence of God.”[12] It is clear that Intelligent Design operates on a looser definition of what science is, does not have any empirical data or peer reviewed journals to defend ID claims, and is inherently dependent upon a belief in God. So it follows that any advocating of ID in a public school is the State promoting religious belief.
Justice Jones ruled the school district’s inclusion of Intelligent Design into the curriculum unconstitutional. He reasoned that “the proper application of both the endorsement and Lemon tests to the facts of this case makes it abundantly clear that the Board’s ID Policy violates the Establishment Clause. In making this determination, we have addressed the seminal question of whether ID is science. We have concluded that it is not, and moreover that ID cannot uncouple itself from its creationist, and thus religious, antecedents. [Therefore] our conclusion today is that it is unconstitutional to teach ID as an alternative to evolution in a public school science classroom.”[13]
Critiquing the Courts
With the initial ruling in the Scopes v. State case, the court ruled that evolution was described too broadly and that the arguments to ban this broad term were all theologically motivated and dependent upon theological belief, thus seen as an attempt to establish a form of state religion.[14] The court saw these as sufficient grounds to rule the Butler Act as unconstitutional; a Tennessee law from the 1920’s forbidding school teachers from denying the Biblical account of man’s origin. This was, however, a state ruling and did not make it to the U.S. Supreme Court. It was not until 1968 when the same basic principle from the Tennessee case would be litigated in Arkansas. The benefit of the forty-year wait took shape in the form of Epperson v. Arkansas, which the Supreme Court heard. The court unanimously ruled 9:0 that any ban against teaching evolution in the science classroom clearly violated the First and Fourteenth Amendments.[15] Not only was the vote unanimous, but precedents were clearly referenced and applied as well. The justices put a solid foot forward concerning the future path of the evolution debate.
Following this landmark decision, the Supreme Court was almost able to go two decades without having to address the evolution-creationism debate. Two other lower level court cases heard cases concerning the concepts of biblical creationism—Daniel v. Waters in 1975 and Hendren v. Campbell in 1977—and one regarding creation science—Mclean v. Arkansas in 1982. The precedents set by these cases all invoked the First and Fourteenth amendments to confirm the unconstitutionality of biblical creation and creation science as scientific theories because of their inherently theological implications. Again, the U.S. Supreme Court acted in accordance with these precedents and declared once and for all that creationism could not be taught in public schools in the context of legitimate scientific theory or in the domain of a science classroom. The vote in the Edward v. Aguillard case, however, was not unanimous like the first. The dissenting opinion, written by Justice Scalia—and concurred by Justice Rehnquist—was quite intriguing. Justice Scalia saw the battle that the scientific theory of evolution had to go through to be heard, yet wondered why creation science was being written off so eagerly.[16] His argument echoes a freedom of speech type of approach to the marketplace of scientific theories presented in a classroom. Important to note, though, is that just because a person can hypothesize a theory does not give it automatic entry into the classroom. The Supreme Court’s ability to act concisely when issuing its rulings for these cases helped to further build up the integrity of our educational standards by simply reaffirming and correctly the first amendment. This verdict was successful because of Justice Brennan’s apt application of the Lemon Test to find the Louisiana law unconstitutional.[17]
The Kitzmiller v. Dover decision and written opinion by Justice John E. Jones III are perhaps the most noteworthy rulings in the modern era of the courts. The right decision became obvious when the Intelligent Design camp’s main witness Dr. Behe seemed to steer their own ship towards the iceberg after making the one concession that had yet seemed to be the difference between Intelligent Design and creationism. I find that Justice Jones’ 139 page opinion is more akin to a work of legal precedent artwork than just simply an opinion to justify a ruling.[18] Justice Jones was able to accurately anticipate the gravity of his ruling and made sure his opinion was thorough and that it incorporated the legitimate claims that science has to refute Intelligent Design. He was able to give a succinct and workable definition for what science was and what could qualify as a scientific theory. After this groundwork, he used the expert testimony on evolution in conjunction with the numerous missteps and errors of the Intelligent Design camp’s own witnesses and evidence to really crush the idea that Intelligent Design offers possible defeaters to the theory of evolution. He then proceeded to eviscerate any claim made by the Intelligent Design proponents that they had any sort of workable scientific theory at all. Some may see this as legislating from the bench; some may see it as over kill, I see it as a fair treatment to the absurd notion that theology can be cleverly masqueraded as science.
The lack of education, concerning what the theory of evolution actually teaches, among the fundamentalist camp is what is continuing this ignorance. This just enables and purveys not only the perception that the Darwinian theory of evolution is a secular conspiracy theory to eliminate religion, but also continuing the fallacious science vs. religion myth. Should the teaching of Intelligent Design or even creationism be prohibited? No, as long as it is presented as what it is. Such as if creationism was included as part of a religious studies themed elective course that a student could freely choose to enroll in. But it is this masquerading as science that is disingenuous and fraudulent. Nowhere else is the theory of gravity, the germ theory of disease, the atomic theory, or the plate tectonic theory challenged with such vigor.
People, especially of a devout religious nature believe what they assert on faith claims to be infallible and inerrant and that there way is ‘the only way.’ But it is that arrogance that is holding this country back in the larger and more global considerations. The American public education system is in shambles and is constantly losing ground to rival nations. There seems to be a drive to promote morality via public policy, but this shortsighted ideologue realism is holding the entire nation back. Other world super powers are definitely enjoying this lag the U.S. experiencing. It has always been this nation’s positioning on the forefront of science and development that have put it in such an advantageous forefront in the world concerning innovation.[19] Creationist and Intelligent Design movements are counterproductive to scientific breakthroughs and understanding. Not to mention the inherent danger of assuming everything was created – this creates a stagnation concerning the examination of how things operate. Like how the ‘father of the Intelligent Design movement’ – Phillip Johnson – can claim that the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) does not lead to Auto-Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) [20]; effectively establishing the AIDS-Denialist platform.[21] Obviously religious belief does not automatically lead to the denial of AIDS. Rational thought must be injected into these pseudo-science subjects so that the negative implications can be examined before they are pointlessly thrust into American classrooms.
The fervor exuded by the anti-evolutionist camp may appear to be well placed, but the consequences stemming from their actions may be quite regrettable. The fear and ignorance towards science in the fundamentalist communities needs to be phased out. Quite perplexingly, the denial of scientific theory has somehow become an affirmation of faith. Ironically, with the continued trajectory of the anti-evolutionists, they could land at the front door of a greater moral quandary than eugenics. It is important that the foundational education taught to the children of the future is widely applicable and inclusive to all (reasonable) faith traditions. Enacting these policies would greatly benefit the future generations of American students and promote education beyond the theologically biased bantering of fundamentalists and fanatics. Thanks to the due diligence of Justice Jones – ironically appointed to be a judge by then President George W. Bush – there is now a working precedent for how to treat future state, district, or even a federal case concerning Intelligent Design.

An Introduction to the Constitutional Law of the United States: Especially ...
Oleh John Norton Pomeroy
none as
them;
reference to, the existence of a nation. The People of the United States are not once mentioned; the presence and supreme attributes of that organic aggregate are completely ignored; no power is represented as derived from thein, and conferred upon
for even the slender concessions made by the states are not granted to the People, nor even to the United States as a political society distinct from its government, but only to the United States as represented by its government, to the “United States in Congress assembled.” As a consequence, there is no status of United States citizenship created or recognized; we have free inhabitants and citizens of the respective states, but no citizen of the United States.
§ 68. The formative elements which were combined in this political structure were not individuals, but were the sovereign, independent states, united in a friendly league for their mutual defense and welfare; and all powers not expressly delegated to the Congress were declared to be reserved by the several states to themselves. Here we perceive that the national idea had been tacitly abandoned, or, at least, totally lost sight of. The People who revolted, and who, through their delegates, had announced to the world their own independence and sovereignty, had no part nor voice in this new creation. They never adopted it by any formal act. It was not even the work of their delegates. Nay, the people of the respective states were not its direct authors; but the legislatures of these commonwealths assumed the power thus to restrain the sovereignty of their own constituents.
It is plain that, upon the extreme States’-Right theory even, this assumption was a palpable usurpation. No legislature is 80 supreme that it can, without direct authority, cede away the inherent political attributes and organic social existence of the body-politic it represents. But the jealousies of the state politicians, and the local rivalries fostered by them, had temporarily blinded the people and their public servants to their true interests, and to the rightful claims of the nation. If some pure patriots perceived the real position of affairs, and attempted to impress upon their countrymen the national
ideas, their voices were drowned in the clamors of state partisans, and their arguments and warnings were powerless against state pride and prejudice.
§ 69. II. The second feature to be noticed is, that the few powers possessed by the United States were not directed against individuals, but against communities, against the respective states. Congress could not take money from the people by means of taxation ; it could only direct the states to act. Congress could not enlist a soldier ; it could only determine the number of troops needed for the common defence, and request the states to furnish their respective amounts. And, if we go through the whole range of its legislative and executive functions, we shall find the same principle at work,
a government acting upon independent states considered as separate, organized, political societies, and not upon the single individuals whose aggregates compose those societies.
There is no more important and distinctive element than this in the whole scheme of the confederated government, nothing in which it contrasts more strongly with the
present Constitution. For herein lies the very essence of the States'Right theory; herein was distinctly embodied the claim of the states to paramount sovereignty. This was the crowning feature of the old Confederation, the perfected result of those notions which had then obtained the supremacy, and the conceded cause of all the disastrous and miserable consequences which followed from ill-considered and self-destructive organization. And, finally, this feature was entirely abandoned, and the government restored to its true basis, by the convention which framed, and the people who adopted, the present Constitution.
$70. III. The third point to be noticed is, that the United States government possessed, absolutely, no authority to enforce any of its enactments, to compel obedience to any of its laws. In fact, it could only recommend, it could not command. It was left entirely to the option of the respective states, whether or not any of the congressional requisitions upon them should be observed. The government was without any coercive means of raising even the smallest amount
of money. If it was fortunate enough to borrow, it could offer no assurance of an ability to pay. It could lay no duties on imports or exports, levy and collect no taxes, command none of the resources for maintaining the common lefence or promoting the common welfare. This inability to raise money by any authoritative measures, was the essential element of weakness, which made it a government in name only, a mere solemn sham, and exposed it to the ridicule of its own people and of foreign nations.
$ 71. Again, the Congress was the sole organ of the government. No independent executive was constituted to direct the national affairs ; no independent judiciary was authorized to expound the provisions of the compact and determine the functions of the central and the state legislatures. Congress might, indeed, prescribe regulations for the disposition of prizes and captures taken in war, but could give these rules no sanction. It could create final courts of appeal in prize causes, but the decisions of these tribunals were mere nullities, for there was no executive arm to enforce them. The legislatures and courts of the respective states retained the substantial power, and this they constantly used with hardly a thought or notice of the shadowy attributes conferred upon the general government.
$72. IV. The last general feature to be noticed is, the limited extent of the nominal powers granted to the United States Congress. Most of these had reference to the prosecution of war. The Articles of Confederation, in a very great measure, relate to a state of hostilities. The condition of peace, and the ordinary operations of government in seasons of tranquillity, are barely alluded to; all this was left to the local commonwealths. Congress might regulate the value of coin; might, together with the states, coin money; might fix the standard of weights and measures; might establish postoffices; and this brief enumeration exhausts the list of those powers which have reference to internal affairs, unconnected
In the foreign relations its functions were nominally unlimited, for it might declare war, make treaties, send and receive ambassadors. But these concessions were prac
with war.
tically nugatory, for it could neither raise troops to fill its armies, or money to pay them; nor could it procure the stipulations of its treaties to be observed, for the courts of the thirteen states were supreme in expounding, and the legislatures in carrying out, the provisions of these international compacts.
§ 73. Such was the government of the United States during the Confederation, a name without a body, a shadow without a substance. The consequences of this plan of government upon the material prosperity of the people, upon the development of the states and the Union in all that constitutes national greatness, upon the estimate in which the country was held by foreign powers, were such as might have been anticipated from a political organization contrived in utter disregard of all the lessons of history, and in complete opposition to all true principles of civil polity.
§ 74. These consequences are very accurately described by the writer quoted above. “ The history of the Confederation during the twelve years beyond which it was not able to maintain itself, is the history of the utter prostration, throughout the whole country, of every public and private interest, of that which was, beyond all comparison, the most trying period of our national and social life. For it was the extreme weakness of the confederate government, if such it could be called, which caused the war of independence to drag its slow length along through seven dreary years, and which, but for a providential concurrence of circumstances in Europe, must have prevented it from reaching any other than a disastrous conclusion. When, at last, peace was proclaimed, the confederate congress had dwindled down to a feeble junto of about twenty persons, which was so degraded and demoralized, that its decisions were hardly more respected than those of any voluntary and irresponsible association. The treaties which the Confederation had made with foreign powers, it was forced to see violated, and treated with contempt by its own members ; which brought upon it distrust from its friends, and scorn from its enemies. It had no standing among the nations

of the world, because it had no power to secure the faith of its national obligations. For want of an uniform system of duties and imposts, and by conflicting commercial regulations in the different states, the commerce of the whole country was prostrated and well-nigh ruined. Private indebtedness was almost universal, and there was no business or industry to provide for its liquidation. Bankruptcy and distress were the rule rather than the exception. The government was loaded with an enormous debt, and had no authority to provide for the payment of either principal or interest, whence its credit was paralyzed. The currency of the country had hardly a nominal value."
§ 75. “ The states themselves were objects of jealous hostility to each other. The mouth and lower waters of the Mississippi were controlled by Spain, who prohibited their navigation ; and whilst the Eastern States were urgent that her claims should be acknowledged for the sake of advantages to their commerce, the whole Western valley, with its dependencies, was on the verge of separation from the East, in order to maintain, at all hazards, the rights of way to the ocean on that father of floods. The internal peace of the country was threatened, and a civil war seemed inevitable from the discontent of the officers of the revolution, for whose sacrifices and necessities Congress, in open breach of the publie faith, yet from sheer inability, had failed to make any compensation or provision. Nothing but the personal influence of Washington over the officers themselves averted this calamity: In some of the states rebellion was already raising its horrid front, threatening the overthrow of all regular government and the inauguration of universal anarchy. It is difficult for us to conceive of the panic which Shays's rebellion in Massachusetts spread throughout the country, and of the peril to which the whole fabric of society was exposed from organized bands of ten or fifteen thousand armed men bent on cancelling, at the point of the bayonet, all public and private indebtedness, and excited to madness with lust of plunder. Ah! what a picture of general gloom and distress, of patriot anguish and despair, is presented in the contemporary history of the confederate government.” | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/10357 |

Lectures on the Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Romans
Por Thomas Chalmers
AND CORRESPONDING MEMBER OF THE ROYAL INSTITUTE OF FRANCE.
SEVENTH THOUSAND.
ROBERT CARTER & BROTHERS,
No. 28 5 BROADWAY
A SERIES of pulpit discourses on the obvious subject-matter of Scripture, is of a different character from those critical and expository works, the object of which is to fix and ascertain the meaning—even of the more obscure and controverted, as well as of the clearest passages. The following is a record of the Sabbath preparations of many years back-now given without change or improvement to the world; and the appearance of which in their present state is very much owing to the frequently expressed desire of my old hearers, to have the Lec tures which I delivered on the Epistle to the Romans, set before them in a more permanent form.
But it may be right to mention that the pulpit lectures which were delivered during my incumbency in the parish of St John's, Glasgow, from September, 1819, to November, 1823, extend only a little way into the tenth chapter, and that the remaining lectures, with the exception of the one on xiv. 17 have been only prepared now for the completion of this work.
Edinburgh, January, 1842.

LI. On Helmholtz's Electrochemical Theory, and some
Conclusions deduced from the same. By F. RICHARZ.
To the Editors of the Philosophical Magazine.
PROFE
ROFESSOR G. JOHNSTONE STONEY, in his paper on the "Electron," or Atom of Electricity, in the Philosophical Magazine of October 1894, very rightly draws attention to the fact that he expressed himself first, with regard to Faraday's law, at the Belfast Meeting of the British Association in August 1874, as follows:-"For each chemical bond which is ruptured within an electrolyte a certain quantity of electricity traverses the electrolyte, which is the same in all cases."
Professor G. J. Stoney calls this smallest quantity of electricity the "Electron," and estimates it at 3 x 10-11 of the C.G.Š. electrostatic unit of electricity.
In this view, therefore, he anticipated Helmholtz in his Faraday Lecture in April 1881. Helmholtz, however, then propounded further the hypothesis that, "in the case also of non-electrolytes, the Valencies' are charged with the same atoms of electricity." Helmholtz explains, moreover, the grounds for the supposition that the attraction between the electrons is the most essential and the greatest part of chemical force. The old electrochemical theory of Berzelius acquired herewith an entirely new form through Helmholtz in respect of the quantity of the atom charges, and deserves therefore the title of "Helmholtz's Electro-chemical Theory.'
Without knowing Prof. G. Johnstone Stoney's calculation of the "Electron," I also, in a paper "Ueber die electrischen Kräfte der Atome," read before the Niederrheinische Gesellschaft für Naturkunde on the 1st Dec. 1890 and 12th Jan. 1891*, calculated the electron, and first attached thereto calculations fitted to decide whether "the forces operating in the atoms of a molecule have the same order of magnitude as the electrostatic attraction of the valency-charges.'
That this is the case I had then already proved, in respect to the dissociation heat N2O4 into 2NO2, and I, into 21.
I have further assumed that both atoms of a molecule revolve round each other with a constant velocity, which is given by Boltzmann's kinetic theory of polyatomic gases.
*F. Richarz, Sitzungsberichte, Bonn, vol. xlvii. p. 113 (1890); vol. xlviii. p. 18 (1891).
The equation that the centrifugal force is equal to the force of attraction gives for the latter a value nearly equal to that of the attraction of two "electrons" on each other. Further, I put forward at the same time the hypothesis that radiation is caused by the oscillations of the valency-charges. This supposition was not new, as I have since found. His own quotation in his book, 'Theorie der electrischen und optischen Erscheinungen in bewegten Körpern,' Leiden, 1895, page 5, called my attention to the fact that Prof. H. A. Lorentz as early as 1878 attributed light-waves to electrical particles, which are joined to the atoms and which are also assumed in electrolysis [Verh. d. kgl. Akad. v. Wetenschappen, 18 Deel, Amsterdam, 1879; notice especially the conclusion, page 112]. Professor Hertz, as he told me, was of a similar opinion; however, he was not attached to the electrochemical theory of Helmholtz, but to the opinion of Victor Meyer and Riecke (Berliner Chem. Ber. xxi. p. 946, 1888). But Lorentz's electromagnetic theory of refraction is, like Helmholtz's theory of Dispersion (1892), independent of the size of the valency-charges. From this quantity, the "electron,” I have, in my paper mentioned above of the 12th Jan. 1891, calculated that the period of rotation of the two atoms of a molecule round one another is about 10-14 seconds. This is the period of the electrodynamic radiation which the electrons of the two atoms give out while they rotate together with the ponderable atoms round one another. It would correspond with ultra-red waves. As the computed value of the period of rotation is only the average value of the different periods of rotation possessed at the same time by different molecules, the emission must give a more or less extended spectrum of dark heat-rays, which spectrum would have its maximum in the region of the average value. Indeed emission of gases is similar, in so far as the latter is only based on increase of temperature. When the period of rotation is accelerated the spectrum might possibly pass into the visible region.
Prof. G. J. Stoney took up the matter of the electrodynamic radiation of oscillating electrons at about the same time as I did, but in other respects (Trans. Roy. Dublin Soc. vol. iv. 1891, p. 585); later also Prof. H. Ebert (Arch. de Genève, [3] xxv. p. 489, May 1891).
I next developed the purely kinetic part of my conclusions (Wied. Ann. xlviii. March 1893, pp. 467-492). There I have also taken into consideration the dissociation-heat of hydrogen given by Prof. Eilhard Wiedemann. The same I have also made use of for comparison, besides the dissociation
heat of nitric tetroxide and iodine, already made use of in the first publication of 12th Jan. 1891, in the detailed accounts of my electrical calculations (Münchener Akademie, Bd. xxiv. p. 1, 13 Jan. 1894, and Wied. Ann. Bd. lii. p. 385, 1894).
There I have also added the following calculation. Assuming that molecular magnetism is produced by the rotation of the valency-charges, we obtain for the specific magnetism at saturation-point values which correspond in the order of magnitude with those found by experiment.
Helmholtz's electrochemical theory has meanwhile also been confirmed in other respects by the very interesting calculations of Prof. A. P. Chattock (Phil. Mag. [5] xxxii. p. 285, 1891; xxxiv. p. 461, 1892; xxxv. p. 76, 1893). I am, Gentlemen,

LII. Note on a Simple Graphic Illustration of the Determinantal Relation of Dynamics. By G. H. BRYAN*.
N the whole range of theoretical dynamics there is probably
determinantal relation connecting the multiple differential of the initial coordinates and momenta of a system with that of its final coordinates and momenta. This relation, which may almost be regarded as the keystone to the Kinetic Theory of Gases, is conveniently written in the Jacobian form
where P1, P2,
are the generalized momenta corresponding to the generalized coordinates 1, 2,..., and unaccented and accented letters refer respectively to initial values and final values after a fixed interval of time t.
To my mind the difficulty of grasping this result arises from the want of simple graphical illustrations and verifications from first principles not involving the use of the Calculus. The following illustrative examples of its applications to systems with one degree of freedom have afforded me great assistance in understanding the theorem, and I trust that they may prove useful to others.
Consider a particle moving in the straight line OX (fig. 1)
*Communicated by the Physical Society: read April 26, 1895.
under any law of force. Let M be the position of the particle at any instant, and let the velocity of the particle at this instant be represented by the ordinate MP drawn at right angles to OX. Then, since the momentum is proportional to the velocity, the coordinates OM, MP represent the coordinate and momentum of the particle at the given instant, and we may call P the representative point.
Now let four such particles of equal mass be projected simultaneously, having the initial coordinates x and x+dx and the initial velocities v and v+8v. The representative points will form a small rectangle PQRS of area da. Sv.
Let P'Q'R'S' be the corresponding representative points at any subsequent instant t.
Then the determinantal relation asserts that the area of the small parallelogram P'Q'R'S' is equal to that of the rectangle PQRS.
[Instead of taking four particles we might suppose the points P, Q, R, S to refer to the same particle projected with different initial conditions and allowed to move for a fixed time-interval t.]
This property may be verified from first principles in the following simple cases :
CASE I. Let the motion be uniformly accelerated. Then from the equations
v'=v+ft, x'=x+vt + 1 ft2,
and the corresponding equations obtained by substituting x+dx for x and v+dv for v, it is easy to see (fig. 1) that the
parallelogram P'Q'R'S' has its base P'Q' parallel to OX and equal to PQ or Sa, and its altitude equal to PQ or Sv. Therefore
area P'Q'R'S' area PQRS.
The parallelogram will, however, have undergone a shear, | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/10359 | {"url":

Reflections on the Revolution in France: And on the Proceedings in Certain ...
Born in Ireland in 1729, Edmund Burke was an English statesman, author, and orator who is best remembered as a formidable advocate for those who were victims of injustice. He was the son of a Dublin lawyer and had also trained to practice law. In the 1760s, Burke was elected to the House of Commons from the Whig party. Burke spent most of his career in Parliament as a member of the Royal Opposition, who was not afraid of controversy, as shown by his support for the American Revolution and for Irish/Catholic rights. His best-known work is Reflections on the French Revolution (1790). Some other notable works are On Conciliation with the American Colonies (1775) and Impeachment of Warren Hastings (1788). Edmund Burke died in 1797.

NOTES OF SERMONS.-LETTERS.
HOLDSWORTH AND BALL,

M DCCC XXXII.
It is with no ordinary pleasure I lay before the public a volume, entirely composed of materials extracted from papers in Mr. Hall's own handwriting. The first four hundred pages contain notes of sermons; the rest of the volume consists of letters to various persons, and on various occasions.
Of the notes of sermons left by Mr. Hall, several were such mere skeletons that it did not seem expedient to publish them. Of those which have been selected for insertion, such as do not occupy more than eight or nine pages, seem simply to have been employed as pulpit notes, without any ulterior reference. Of the remainder, some were undoubtedly, and others probably, written more fully than his usual pulpit notes, that they might serve as the basis of a volume of sermons, which he intended to prepare for publication,* should the state of his health, and a moderate freedom from interruption, ever allow him to accomplish his wishes in that respect. As they now appear, however, they are all, in some measure, incomplete; not even the fullest of them are carried to half the extent of the preached sermons; and in but few is the application more than hinted.
It will not be expected, then, that these notes should evince the exquisite finish, in point of style, which they would have received from the author, had he prepared them

Behavioral health and homeless services align to help families
Our summit that brought together more than 30 leaders in the housing and health systems has been a catalyst for change.
Homelessness exacerbates the symptoms of behavioral health disorders, such as mental illness and substance abuse. Yet those who are homeless often have a difficult time accessing behavioral health services, which tend to rely on fixed schedules and in-person appointments.
Building Changes set out to tackle this problem last summer by convening a Performance Partnership Summit of more than 30 local leaders from King County in the housing and health systems—from government, nonprofits and the private sector. The purpose of the summit was to develop cross-system partnerships that would create and execute action plans for improving access to behavioral health services for families experiencing homelessness.
The daylong summit created a convergence of people and ideas that was unprecedented at the time. Despite serving many of the same families, many of the participants never before had sat down together in one place to share information. The larger group divided into smaller cross-sector teams, creating a workable structure for continuing the collaboration long term.
Lasting impacts
The data-driven action steps first identified at the summit have evolved over time. They are being carried out through different venues and among an ever-expanding number of partners that have been invited to join the collaboration, said Danielle Winslow, project manager at All Home, which played a key role in helping systems continue the work started at the summit.
Specific actions that have occurred since the summit include:
Behavioral health partners and Coordinated Entry for All—King County’s one-stop center where people initially access homeless services—are collaborating to create convenient, one-stop access to behavioral health services for families experiencing homelessness.
Homeless housing providers are being trained to use a screening tool that the behavioral health system uses to determine a family’s needs and eligibility for services.
Behavioral health partners have teamed up with All Home to participate in—or even co-lead—cross-sector trainings with homeless housing providers.
Successful cross-systems work begins with conversations among the leaders, but it cannot end there—and in this case, it has not.
—Sarah Cotton Rajski, Building Changes
“Successful cross-systems work begins with conversations among the leaders, but it cannot end there—and in this case, it has not,” said Sarah Cotton Rajski, a senior manager at Building Changes. “System leaders have continued to identify specific opportunities for improving access to behavioral health services for families experiencing homelessness. Building Changes played the role of catalyst, and the systems deserve all the credit for sustaining this collaborative effort to help families receive services and become stably housed.”
Cross-system collaboration
Building Changes strengthens relationships between the homeless response system and other systems that serve people experiencing homelessness, including health, employment, education and housing. When systems break out of their separate silos and come together in a mutually beneficial partnership, they can more efficiently and effectively serve people who are experiencing homelessness.

Kirkland Museum goes mobile, relocates down 13th

Kirkland Museum rolled into Golden Triangle this weekend.
On Sunday the museum used six sets of wheels to transport all 300,000 pounds of its namesake century-old studio eight blocks down 13th Avenue to its new home – steps from the Denver Art Museum.
The move is part of a multimillion-dollar project announced in 2014, which will triple Kirkland’s size to 38,000 square feet when the museum reopens next fall at 1201 Bannock St.
The museum’s founding director and curator, Hugh Grant, said the museum wanted to be nearer to the Golden Triangle art scene and needed more space to display its collections. But it didn’t want to leave behind Vance Kirkland’s three-room studio, in part because the space is a major draw for art lovers.
“They end up in the studio and they’re just mesmerized,” he said. “The prestige that the artist Vance Kirkland brings to us, and to the reputation of Colorado art, is such that we thought it was essential to save his historic studio.”

Painter Vance Kirkland founded the art program at the University of Denver in 1929, then left to start an art school of his own on Pearl Street. That building, now moved, would later become his personal studio.
Today Kirkland’s work is displayed alongside international decorative art as well as Colorado and regional art, as one of three collections at the Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art.
The museum purchased the site for its future museum for $7.7 million. Seattle architecture firm Olson Kundig designed the new space, which broke ground in September 2015.
The existing museum at 13th and Pearl closed to the public in May. Grant, the museum’s director, said museum has not yet decided what to do with its old site.
Mammoth Moving & Rigging and Shaw Construction did the heavy lifting this weekend, using eight sets of remote-controlled wheels to transport the studio, built in 1910, to 12th and Bannock.
Chambers Family Fund is funding construction of the new museum. The total cost of the project has not been made public.

Top 5 Sharon Tate Movies of All Time
Sharon Tate was a talented and beloved young actress. This list will focus on her best films, not on her life. It’s a subjective list because everyone has a different opinion.
Here is the list of the Top 5 Sharon Tate Movies of All Time.
#5. The Wrecking Crew (1968)
The first film on our list is also Sharon Tate’s final film before she died. The Wrecking Crew, featuring Dean Martin as the flamboyant US counteragent, was released in 1968 and is the fourth film in the Matt Helm’s series.
Freya Carlson, Helm’s gorgeous but bumbling Danish Tourism Bureau guide, is played by Tate. Matt Helm is dispatched to Denmark this time to recover a highly precious gold bullion.
According to Matt Helm, the wicked Count Massimo Cantini may have stolen the ingot as part of his scheme to bring down the global economy.
For this mission in a foreign land, Helm is assigned a companion to guide him through the streets of Copenhagen. Freya proves to be of great help to Helm, even though her clumsiness can get them into even more complicated situations.
The Wrecking Crew was also the last film in the popular Math Helms series. There’s a certain rumor that this movie wasn’t as successful as its prequels, hence the series cancellation. The truth, however, is much darker than that.
A mere six months after The Wrecking Crew’s release, Sharon Tate was one of the victims of the infamous Tate Lobbianca murders. Committed by members of the Manson family. This heinous act shocked the entire Hollywood community.
Dean Martin, costar and friend of Sharon Tate was particularly moved by her demise. He vowed to quit playing the character of Matt Helm cutting the series short, the critics and audiences agreed that Sharon Tate’s portrayal of the ditzy yet Lovable Freya was one of the movie’s highlights.
To prepare herself for the action scenes where her character needed to fight. Tate recruited an expert martial artist’s help. The name of this martial expert, a certain young man called Bruce Lee.
#4. Don’t Make Waves (1967)
Despite the fact that it was Tate’s third film in 1967, Don’t Make Waves was the first to be released in theaters. This is the first time spectators will see Tate on the big screen in this comedy.
Muscle Beach is an adaption of Irawalik’s novel. Carlo Cofield is played by Tony Curtis, and Malibu is played by Sharon Tate. Carlo Cofield is a visitor on vacation on the West Coast of California, entranced in the beauty of the beaches and the surfer lifestyle. His journey has just just began when he is involved in an automobile accident.
In the other car is the gorgeous Italian artist Laura Califatti, who offers her house for him to stay the night. Carlo then gets involved in yet another incident. This time he nearly drowns at the beach. Luckily for him, he’s saved by a very attractive and young surfer, a girl simply known as Malibu.
He is soon involved in an uneasy romantic triangle and the ups and downs of Southern Californian culture. Despite the laughs, the production of Don’t Make Waves wasn’t a particularly pleasing experience for Tate. She would later tell her husband that the atmosphere on the set was quite tense.
This was only made worse when an uncredited stuntman drowned in a parachuting incident. That said, the movie became an icon of the Californian culture of the 60s, with Tate running an advertising campaign for Coppertone, she also became a symbol of the beach culture of the decade.
Tate’s appearance was so recognizable that Mattel used her likeness for the Malibu Barbie doll. Being the first big Sharon Tate film, MGM jumped into the chance to run an advertisement campaign based on her gorgeous looks.
This was her big movie premiere, at least for American audiences, as she had already debuted on the other side of the pond.
#3. Eye of the Devil (1966)
Despite producer Martin Ransohoff’s assertions that Sharon Tate’s debut as an actress was unremarkable, her first official film credit came in 1966 with Eye of the Devil.
Sharon Tate stars as Odile de Caray in a sinister drama set in a French vineyard in this modest British horror film. Philippe de Montfaucon is the heir to a run-down vineyard in Bordeaux. Grace’s land had failed to yield any fruit for three years, forcing Philippe to return to Paris.
However, one day he is suddenly summoned to the vineyard, where he’s welcomed by siblings Christian and Odile de Caray. Things soon take a turn for the wicked. As Philip and his wife, Catherine, discover ancient fertility rituals that happened in their vineyard.
Philippe will soon understand what a mess he has inherited and just how evil the people running this inconspicuous vineyard can be.
It was Martin Ransohoff who first came across Tate’s acting talents. He discovered the young actress and immediately signed a seven year contract with her. Ransohoff was a firm believer in the importance of showing new talent, insisting on including at least one new actor or actress in each of his productions.
Eye of the Devil was a small commercial success, but only in Europe. American audiences hardly ever knew of the film’s existence. Thus the reason why Tate didn’t become a bigname star thanks to this horror flick. Despite its lukewarm reception, the movie has become a cult classic with horror fans.
It’s also worth noting that Eye of the Devil had a particularly complicated production. A series of freak accidents affected production schedules, even gravely injuring actress Kim Novak.
Of course, due to the occult subject matter of the movie and the involvement of Alex Sanders, an English occultist and wicked as a consultant, there are rumors that Eye of the Devil’s production might have been cursed.
#2. Valley of the Dolls (1967)
A story about drama, substance misuse, and the entertainment industry’s temptations. Despite garnering some negative reviews from reviewers, Valley of the Dolls was a huge box office success in 1967.
The film follows three young women as they attempt to break into the entertainment industry. Jennifer North, one of the key characters in the film, is played by Sharon Tate. Jennifer is a stunning chorus singer with limited acting experience who aspires to be a Hollywood star.
She falls for a nightclub singer who also happens to have a rare genetic condition.
The disease is called Huntington’s career. It’s relatively rare. Unfortunately, there is no cure, disillusioned and heartbroken. Jennifer’s Hollywood dreams are cut short as she now has to take care of her institutionalized husband and her pregnancy.
In her time of need, she realizes just how dangerous Tinseltown can be. The limelights shine bright and burn deeper, especially for someone like Jennifer.
Based on a novel written by Jacqueline Suzanne, Valley of the Dolls was a controversial book for its time. However, much of what made the novel controversial had to be removed to comply with the 60s strict censorship norms. Things like lesbianism and some risque content had to be toned down or downright removed.
These differences between the movie and its source material are the reason for the film’s poor critical reception. The author herself was very vocal about her disdain for the movie, particularly because it uses a typical happy ending instead of the darker one scene in the book.
Sharon Tate herself wasn’t a huge fan of the novel. Upon first reading it, the actress would say that she hated the book’s themes but agreed to participate in the movie anyways. This ultimately proved to be the right decision, as Valley of the Dolls turned her into one of Hollywood’s most coveted stars.
#1. The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967)
The Fearless Vampire Killers is a horror comedy that parodies traditional vampire myths. Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski, her future husband, star in the film. This picture, directed by Roman Polanski, would be the couple’s first and only appearance on the big screen.
Polanski plays a respected professor and his devoted assistant in the film. They examine a rural community that appears to be under assault by vampires as vampire hunters.
The professors in that village aided me in my search for the bar keeper’s gorgeous daughter. Sharon Tate is a perfect match for Serra, Polanski’s romantic interest.
The couple was introduced by producer Martin Ransohoff who always defended Tate’s acting chops after a few dinners with Tate Polanski was convinced that she was the right actors for the role.
Despite being hit with European audiences, the movie didn’t resonate with the American public. Polanski blames the many differences between the British original and its American release as the cause for its failure.
For one the movie’s original title was dance of the vampires. Summary editing also messed with the movie’s plot ruining its narrative according to Polansky.
Whatever the case the film began an integral part of Sharon Tate’s career and considering her relationship with Polanski he changed her personal life as well.
The Fearless Vampire Killers (1967) was rated a respectable 7.2 out of 10 on IMDb website and receive the 76 percent audience score on rotten tomatoes.

Nickelodeon Is Introducing A New Channel With 90’s Shows Only
By Freddie Pacocha
Nickelodeon has decided to go the retro route, in what is the best news ever for all of the world’s nostalgic 90’s kids. They have announced that they will be launching a new channel called “The Splat” and it will play all of the best Nickelodeon cartoons from the 90’s. These shows will include Rugrats, CatDog, Hey Arnold, Doug, Rocko’s Modern Life, and many more.
This is extremely pleasant news for all of those who enjoyed these shows as children, but felt that they didn’t get enough time with them. It is also good news for everyone who grew up with these cartoons and wished they could show them to their children as well. There is no information as to when the channel will be introduced, but all of the 90’s kids are crossing their fingers that it is sooner rather than later.

Guess What Day It (almost) Is! B'Day Of Women's RTV!
17 Aug 2018 5:22 PM | Carroll D McHenry (Administrator)
This post is to celebrate the full citizenship won for my wife, two sisters, five sisters-in-law, three daughters, two daughters-in-law, four granddaughters and many millions of other women......won by hundreds of thousands of women (and men) who WORKED tirelessly for decades to achieve passage of the 19th Amendment 98 years ago. An achievement so important that I call it establishment of the 5th American Republic. Here's one 'OLD WHITE GUY' who encourages the women in my life and indeed all women to vote every time you get a chance and vote only for politicians who will COMMIT to finally granting you EQUAL CIVIL RIGHTS such as EQUAL PAY and nondiscrimination in every component of your life such as religion, healthcare and childcare. Yes, Lady Liberty, opened in 1886 some 34 years before passage of the 19th, is a woman. But her promise of liberty for all remains incomplete for many. I hope you will go out and WIN a new Equal Rights-Civil Rights Amendment to the Constitution and guarantee for yourself and future generations fairer treatment in our system than many of you have experienced. And there's no time like right now.....this election cycle..... to do just that. Let's get going! | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/10377 | {"url": "https://c-farar.org/blog-commentary/6580388", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "c-farar.org", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:25:53Z", "digest": "sha1:BI6AANOWFTV6ME5JLOFOZIABMZIYWECI"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1311, 1311.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1311, 1875.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1311, 3.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1311, 39.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1311, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1311, 212.7]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1311, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1311, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1311, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1311, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1311, 0.4]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1311, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1311, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1311, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1311, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1311, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1311, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1311, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1311, 0.01447876]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1311, 0.02316602]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1311, 0.03088803]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1311, 0.06181818]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1311, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1311, 0.17818182]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1311, 0.67727273]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1311, 4.70909091]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1311, 0.01454545]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1311, 4.7713792]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1311, 220.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 53, 1.0], [53, 109, 0.0], [109, 1311, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 53, 0.0], [53, 109, 0.0], [109, 1311, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 53, 10.0], [53, 109, 9.0], [109, 1311, 201.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 53, 0.0], [53, 109, 0.18], [109, 1311, 0.01123596]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 53, 0.0], [53, 109, 0.0], [109, 1311, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 53, 0.22641509], [53, 109, 0.14285714], [109, 1311, 0.05823627]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1311, 0.37012947]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1311, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1311, 0.13705701]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1311, -44.71730389]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1311, -9.35196798]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1311, -60.22951146]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1311, 13.0]]} |

In advance of World Cancer Day, Sleep Number today announces it is the proud recipient of the American Cancer Society’s (ACS) 2022 Corporate Partner of the Year Award. The national honor recognizes Sleep Number as a leading supporter in the fight against cancer and its meaningful impact to ACS’s mission.
Sleep Number and ACS announced a landmark partnership on World Cancer Day 2022 to conduct joint research with the goal of developing the first-ever sleep guidelines for cancer patients and survivors. Over the next five years, ACS will leverage Sleep Number’s proprietary sleep data and sleep expertise in its research to identify the impact of quality sleep on cancer prevention and recovery. Additionally, Sleep Number supports ACS’s Hope Lodges, providing Sleep Number® smart beds and other sleep innovations to support patients and caregivers when they need to stay away from home during treatment.
According to Dave Benson, ACS Executive Vice President, North Region, "Sleep Number exemplified what ACS hopes to find in partners. We honor partners that go above and beyond and use every facet of their influence to help support our mission. Working with Sleep Number to develop new data and advance science to be used in the fight against cancer is incredible. We’re extremely grateful for Sleep Number’s partnership."
"We are honored to partner with the American Cancer Society, and to help end cancer as we know it, for everyone," said Shelly Ibach, Chair, President and CEO, Sleep Number. "Prior ACS research and guidelines – like those on diet and tobacco – have made an indelible impact on all of our health. Our joint research on sleep and cancer will add to that remarkable body of evidence. If sleep can play even a small part in cancer prevention – or, importantly, enhance the quality of life for a patient, caregiver or survivor – we have truly lived our purpose to improve the health and wellbeing of society."
"Sleep Number’s commitment to our mission directly helps patients and their caregivers by strengthening their emotional, mental and physical health, leading to an improved quality of life," said Dr. Karen E. Knudsen, Chief Executive Officer, American Cancer Society. "Together, our teams are developing a deeper understanding of quality sleep’s impact on cancer prevention and recovery. We share a passion for improving lives and have built a terrific foundation for what comes next: improving sleep outcomes for cancer patients and survivors."
In addition to their research partnership, Sleep Number collaborates with ACS on various initiatives to further their commitment to the Society’s mission, including:
In partnership with NFL Crucial Catch and ACS, Sleep Number will host ACS’s "Defender," a digital cancer risk assessment tool, inside its content studio at the media center at Super Bowl LVII. Defender uses a simple quiz to promote cancer screenings and prevention, and will be available for media, players and radio row guests to check their risk for cancers. For every complete Defender assessment between February 6-20, Sleep Number will match with a donation of $100, up to $50,000, to ACS. Participants have a chance to win a Sleep Number 360® p5 smart bed or autographed jerseys by Justin Jefferson, Dak Prescott and Micah Parsons.
Today, Sleep Number will also donate 360® smart beds, including the new Climate360™ smart bed, and bedding to the Charleston, SC Hope Lodge – ACS’s first-ever Hope Lodge and the first facility of its kind in the country for cancer patients and caregivers.
Sleep Number provides ongoing support for the Champions of Hope gala, an annual event benefitting ACS. In 2022, the event raised more than $500,000 to support the mission and work of ACS, including operational costs of the Minnesota Hope Lodges in Minneapolis and Rochester.
A passionate advocate for ACS’s mission, Shelly Ibach serves as the chairperson for the Society’s CEOs Against Cancer Minnesota chapter, rallying the business community to improve the lives of people with cancer and their families through research and patient and caregiver support and advocacy.

Herniated discs are a common spinal condition that can cause significant pain and discomfort. They occur when the soft material within a spinal disc bulges or ruptures, putting pressure on nearby nerves and causing symptoms such as sciatica, back pain, and weakness in the affected area. While traditional treatments for herniated discs often focus on managing symptoms or even surgery, there is a growing interest in a different approach: retraining the body to support itself better and heal from within. This is where Strength From Within comes in.
Strength From Within is a company dedicated to helping people with disc issues by retraining the body to support the discs again all throughout the spine. Their approach is not about treating the disc directly, but creating a better supporting body to heal it. By focusing on the root cause of the problem, Strength From Within offers a long-term solution for those suffering from herniated discs.
The Importance of Retraining Your Body
The human body is a remarkable machine that is designed to move and function in a certain way. However, poor posture, repetitive movements, and lack of exercise can lead to imbalances in the body, which can cause undue stress on certain areas, such as the spinal discs. This can cause the discs to weaken and eventually lead to herniation. By retraining the body to move and function properly, Strength From Within aims to alleviate the stress on the discs and promote healing from within.
Retraining the body involves a series of exercises and movements that target the muscles and ligaments around the spine. These exercises help to strengthen the core muscles, improve posture, and increase flexibility, all of which are important in supporting the spine and preventing herniated discs. The exercises are tailored to each individual’s needs and are designed to be progressive, so that as the body becomes stronger, the exercises become more challenging.
How Strength From Within Can Help
Strength From Within has helped many people with disc issues by providing a comprehensive approach to healing. Their program involves a series of steps that are designed to address the root cause of the problem and promote healing from within. Here are some of the ways that Strength From Within can help:
Assessment: The first step in the program is to assess the individual’s condition and determine the underlying cause of their herniated disc. This involves a thorough examination of the spine, as well as an assessment of the individual’s posture and movement patterns.
Education: Once the assessment is complete, the individual is educated on their condition and how it relates to their body. They are taught about the importance of proper posture, and movement patterns, and how to prevent future herniation.
Exercise: The exercise component of the program is designed to retrain the body to support the spine better. This involves a series of exercises that target the core muscles, improve posture, and increase flexibility.
Lifestyle modifications: Strength From Within also focuses on making lifestyle modifications that can support the healing process. This includes advice on nutrition, stress management, and sleep habits.
Follow-up: The final step in the program involves follow-up appointments to monitor progress and adjust the program as needed.
By addressing the underlying cause of the problem, Strength From Within’s approach provides a long-term solution for herniated discs. Their program is designed to empower individuals to take control of their health and make lasting changes that can improve their quality of life.
How does retraining the body help with herniated discs?
When a spinal disc is herniated, it means that the disc has lost some of its cushioning and shock-absorbing properties. This can be due to age, wear and tear, or sudden trauma. The result is that the spine becomes less stable and more vulnerable to further injury or inflammation. The body’s natural response to this instability is to compensate by tensing up the muscles around the affected area, which can lead to even more pain and discomfort.
Retraining the body to support itself better can help in several ways. First, it can improve the alignment and posture of the spine, which can reduce the pressure on the discs and nerves. Second, it can strengthen the muscles that surround and support the spine, which can provide better stability and protection. Third, it can increase the flexibility and mobility of the spine, which can improve its overall function and range of motion. Finally, it can promote better circulation and oxygenation to the affected area, which can enhance the healing process.
What does Strength From Within offer for people with herniated discs?
At Strength From Within, we offer a comprehensive program that combines various modalities to retrain the body to support itself better. Our program is tailored to each individual’s specific needs and goals, and it may include some or all of the following components:
Corrective exercise: We use a variety of exercises and movements to improve the alignment and posture of the spine. These exercises can also help to activate and strengthen the deep core muscles that provide stability and support to the spine.
Manual therapy: We use hands-on techniques such as myofascial release, trigger point therapy, or joint mobilization to release tension and adhesions in the soft tissues around the spine. This can help to reduce pain and inflammation and improve the mobility and function of the spine.
Mind-body techniques: We teach mindfulness, meditation, and relaxation techniques that can help to reduce stress and tension in the body. This can be especially helpful for people who experience pain or discomfort due to psychological factors such as anxiety or depression.
Nutrition and lifestyle coaching: We offer guidance and support on how to make healthier choices in terms of diet, sleep, and stress management. This can help to optimize the body’s natural healing processes and improve overall wellness.
What are the benefits of retraining the body for people with herniated discs?
Retraining the body to support itself better can have many benefits for people with herniated discs. Here are some of the most significant ones:
Pain relief: By reducing the pressure on the discs and nerves, retraining the body can help to alleviate pain and discomfort. This can allow people to perform daily activities with greater ease and improve their quality of life.
Improved function: When the spine is more stable and mobile, it can function better. This can result in improved posture, better balance, and a greater range of motion, which can help people to move more freely and participate in activities they enjoy.
Reduced risk of further injury: When the body is properly aligned and supported, it is less vulnerable to injury. Retraining the body can help to prevent further damage to the spine and reduce the risk of developing other spinal conditions.
Non-invasive approach: Retraining the body is a non-invasive approach that does not involve medication or surgery. This can be appealing to people who prefer natural and holistic methods of healing.
Long-lasting results: By addressing the underlying causes of the problem, retraining the body can produce long-lasting results. This can be more effective than just treating the symptoms.
Herniated discs can be a painful and debilitating condition, but there is hope for people who are looking for natural and holistic approaches to healing. Strength From Within offers a comprehensive program that can help people retrain their bodies to support themselves better and heal their herniated discs. By focusing on improving alignment, strengthening muscles, and promoting overall wellness, our program can provide lasting relief from pain and discomfort.

Did you know that planting some green can actually help your business or commercial property earn some green? It’s true! Proper placement of plants, along with proper maintenance of a property’s landscaping can result in saving money on heating and cooling, as well as increasing both worker productivity and the number of customers. But how can something so simple have such a profound impact on our properties? Let’s dig into the research behind this plant phenomenon.

Dr. Leonard Perry from the University of Vermont says that, “Landscaping can add up to 14 percent to the resale value of a building, and speed up its sale by up to 6 weeks.” This is a large increase considering the only thing at work in this situation is pure aesthetics. It might sound obvious but for business people who may find themselves distracted by the bottom line, it’s easy to forget that creating an environment that is welcoming and visually appealing is essential.
You’re not just selling a property, you’re selling an office, shop, or home. A place your potential buyer will spend the vast majority of their time, so make it a place they enjoy. Make it the sort of place people can’t wait to visit. This is further supported by the publication, Irrigation & Green Industry, whose authors report that attractive landscaping on a commercial property leads to increased occupancy rates and higher rental rates. This isn’t just true for owners or renters, it’s true for customers as well. Dr. Perry states that, “A survey in the south showed that almost ¾ of the public preferred to patronize stores that were well-landscaped, including landscaped parking lots.”
It’s important to note that indoor landscaping produces similar results. As Steven McLinden, writing for Shopping Centers Today, states, “[. . .] when these visitors are surrounded by an inviting set of landscape features, they will feel a stronger tendency to linger for a ‘two-hour vacation’—something that will not happen at all if they instead stay home on the couch and shop online.”
Not only can landscaping increase your property’s value, it can help you save money every year on heating and cooling costs. Irrigation & Green Industry reports that, “[…] the proper selection and placement of plant material can lower heating and cooling costs by as much as 20 percent.”
LoveYourLandscape.org reports that, “Grass is much cooler than asphalt or cement. It acts as an ‘air conditioner’ for the surrounding area.” And that, “Trees shading homes can reduce attic temperatures by as much as 40 degrees.”
Having a big event is always a way to attract more customers but did you know that this also applies to large landscaping installations? According to Shopping Centers Today, a shopping mall in Minnesota, “[…] created an indoor floral experience for 15 days, starting in late March, through displays of splashy floor-to-ceiling gardens of flower, plant, and tree varieties. Shoppers responded with holiday-level patronage—generating a year-over-year traffic increase at the 2018 inaugural event of about 60 percent, plus sales increases in the double digits.”
Is such a display too big for your budget or property? Then think a little outside the box. As Shopping Centers Today reports, “Consider also such features as playscapes, splash pools and large fountains—because when the kids want to play, the parents will stay.”

The quality of your circle mirror with stand will determine how long it lasts and how much use it gets before breaking down. Look for a circle mirror with stand with good quality components and parts, so that they do not wear out easily.
Don’t rush into buying anything, especially if it’s expensive or something that will last a long time. Take your time researching different options, reading reviews and comparing prices before making a purchase. The more time you spend researching and considering different options, the better chance you have at finding the perfect circle mirror with stand for your needs and lifestyle.

[ARCHIVED] Public Notice: Camden County Restaurants Onsite Service Temporarily Discontinued
All restaurants in Camden County shall temporarily discontinue onsite food and beverage consumption. This order will begin at 12 noon on Tuesday, March 24, 2020, and will remain in effect until 12 noon on April 6, 2020, or may be terminated earlier in conjunction with the termination of Governor Kemp’s State of Emergency.
As part of this order, no onsite (indoor or outdoor) consumption of food or drink will be allowed. Restaurants will be allowed and are encouraged to serve food via pick-up, delivery, or drive‐thru services. Social distancing shall be maintained at all times. Limiting public interactions will reduce the likelihood of community spread of COVID-19.
Restaurants with on premises licenses are temporarily allowed to sell unopened bottles of beer and wine for off premises consumption with food takeout orders. Open container laws within vehicles still apply.
Yesterday, Governor Brian Kemp signed an Executive Order closing all bars beginning on March 24, 2020, at 12 noon and ending April 6, 2020 at 12 noon. Additionally, no business, establishment, non-profit corporation, or organization shall allow more than ten (10) persons to be gathered at a single location if such gathering requires persons to stand or be seated within six (6) feet of any other person.
As of 7:00 p.m. on March 23, 2020, Georgia has 800 confirmed cases and 12 in the Coastal Georgia Health District, including one in Camden County. Because testing has been limited, there may not be an accurate picture of the current level of infection in our community. At this time, Camden County continues to maintain a voluntary curfew from 8:00 p.m. until 5:00 a.m. nightly.
Additional actions may become necessary as this public health emergency continues to impact our community.
Examples of those measures include, but are not limited to:
Mandatory Curfew (8:00 p.m. until 5:00 a.m.)
Voluntary Shelter-in-Place
Mandatory Shelter-in-Place
All critical infrastructure including, grocery stores, government services, providers of food, water, fuel, medical care, pharmacies, and deliveries would continue under all measures above.
Additionally, the measures listed above do not affect operations at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay.

Deal with recognized professionals….
It’s been almost 2 years since the rules that govern Mortgage Brokers and Agents came into effect…so why hasn’t everyone complied with the smallest of requests?
On July 1, 2008 new rules governing Mortgage Brokers and Mortgage Agents came into effect in Ontario. One of the changes was to make it easier for consumers to identify who they were dealing with. Prior to July 1, 2008 we saw all sorts of titles out there.. Mortgage Consultant, Mortgage Planner, Mortgage Specialist, etc… the list was endless…. and qualifications were sketchy.
Well, that’s all changed. In Ontario, there are only 2 designations. Mortgage Broker and Mortgage Agent. Both are authorized by a Brokerage to deal or trade in mortgages on its behalf and who have achieved other educational, proficiency and eligibility criteria.
But I’m still amazed at how many individuals and companies have not made the change. They still advertise and refer to themselves as Mortgage Planners or Mortgage Consultants, Mortgage Specialist…etc… My advice to Brokers and Agents is to make the changes immediately…These people are at risk of being fined and or having their license suspended.
My advice to consumers….BEWARE of anyone that has not taken the time to adjust and make the changes…if they won’t respect a minor change such as this, it makes you wonder what other regulations are not being respected.

There are many reminders in the Northern Territory of Australia’s involvement in World War II and a visit to Darwin Military Museum gives a fascinating insight into just how close the Japanese invasion came. On 19th February 1942, the Japanese bombed Darwin, killing 252 people, destroying aircraft, sinking 10 ships and severely damaging the township. Over the next 21 months, the Northern Territory was subjected to a further 97 air attacks by the Japanese, including 51 bombing raids.
Since the mid-1960s, the Royal Australian Artillery Association has been accumulating war memorabilia and the vast collection includes artefacts from the Boer War to the present day. Once past the entrance display,
I realised there were far too many intriguing items to photograph, not least this painted feather. The MV Manunda was launched in 1929 as a passenger liner and souvenirs of voyages, such as this, were common. The vessel became HMAS Manunda and served as a hospital ship during World War II before returning to civilian life in 1946. Ten years later, in an ironic twist of fate, she was sold to a Japanese Shipping Company, broken up and used for scrap.
We continued our exploration outside, where larger artillery pieces and military vehicles are scattered through tropical gardens and various outbuildings. A memorial to the Australian Digger stands adjacent to one dedicated to Gunner, a kelpie credited with the ability to alert his squadron when Japanese aircraft were approaching.
The sheer scale of some of the exhibits is boggling, it is difficult to fathom the logistics of deploying this equipment in the field. Boom net buoys were used to suspend the huge cable for the anti-submarine net stretched across Darwin Harbour. For added security, a massive metal detecting loop was laid on the floor of the harbour to detect any submarine activity.
Vehicle-mounted workshops were primarily used for maintenance in the field, with small engines under the bench to run electrical items such as grinders and compressors.
Probably the most terrifying place to be on the fighter planes was the ball gun turret. Suspended underneath the aircraft, the gunner, usually the smallest man in the crew, had to assume a foetal-like position on missions of up to ten hours.
Some remnants of wartime are still being found in the N.T., like this Japanese drop tank. The tanks carried extra fuel to extend the range of the aircraft and, once empty, could be released to reduce drag in combat situations.
There are several engines and propellors on display, each with their own story. This one separated from the fuselage of a Kittyhawk during a forced landing in 1942. Fortunately, the pilot survived.
Almost as uncomfortable as the ball turret, two personnel would be squeezed into the hot, noisy cabin of the Ferret scout car. One would drive and the other would man the machine gun and grenade launchers.
On a much larger scale, the Buffalo was used as an amphibious transport vehicle, though its design meant it could only operate in the calmest of seas without taking on too much water.
Looking suspiciously like a missile, paravanes were actually used in minesweeping operations. With a cutting cable attached, they were dragged behind a minesweeper at a pre-determined depth and, once the enemy mine was located and detached, it was destroyed by small-arms fire. Sometimes the paravane received collateral damage.
The big guns were just around the corner, an impressive collection of field and anti-aircraft guns, all of which must have been onerous to manoeuvre in battle.
Knowing where to aim the artillery pieces was a little more complicated than it is these days. A rangefinder was used to determine the angle and distance to the target, this one is the largest in the world and was installed at the East Point gun emplacements.
The information was then passed via telephone to the plotters manning the ‘fire direction table’ where they computed such things as wind speed, air pressure, humidity and temperature, all of which affected the shell’s flight.
The gunners were then able to set the correct bearing and elevation to hit the target. The initial 6” guns were replaced by two 9.2” guns but they didn’t arrive until February 1944. Consequently, the only rounds fired from these were three proof rounds, the war ended and, in 1959, both guns were sold to a Japanese salvage firm and cut up for scrap metal. The replicas that now stand on the site are quite impressive.
Operating in conjunction with the rangefinder crews, massive searchlights with a range around 25 kilometres were used to spot enemy ships.
There are many displays of assorted paraphernalia
and a tribute to the military horse troops. Around 1500 horses and men of the North Australia Observation Unit, known as Nackeroos, were stationed in remote locations to watch for enemy activity.
The final outbuilding contained a wonderful array of service vehicles from trucks to Bren Gun carriers.
The most recognisable is the 1942 Willys Jeep. Originally designated a ‘Vehicle General Purpose’ or ’Vehicle GP’, the name resulted in the term ‘jeep’. Willys were the original designers and manufacturers of the Jeep and then contracted the building of them to Ford.
If you are planning a visit to the museum, allow plenty of time, there was so much more to see.

extraordinary exhibition
Posted on July 16, 2022 by kathy
Following our experience at Wētā Workshop the plan was to visit New Zealand’s national museum, Te Papa (Māori for ‘the treasure box’). We were intrigued to see the ‘Gallipoli: The Scale of Our War’ exhibition after learning at Wētā that they were responsible for creating the life-like figures on display.
The giant sculptures, 2.4 times human size, took 24,000 hours to complete, not surprising considering the incredible detail and emotion on the faces. The exhibition opened on 18th April 2015 to commemorate the centenary of the ANZAC campaign and will remain until 25th April 2025. The diaries of seven soldiers and a nurse were selected to share the stories through the eyes of ordinary New Zealanders in diabolical circumstances. Stepping into the darkened room, the effect of a huge, spotlighted figure aiming a gun in apparent terror was startling.
Lieutenant Spencer Westmacott was one of the first New Zealanders to climb the steep hills to join the Australians. By nightfall, he had been evacuated with severe wounds to his right arm which was later amputated at a military hospital in Egypt.
A cut-through model of a soldiers’ kit shows the little protection they had from external armoury.
The despair is palpable on the face of Lieutenant Colonel Percival Fenwick as he leans over the fatally wounded Canterbury infantryman, Jack Aitken.
The 45 year old surgeon, a veteran of the South African war, recorded the hellish conditions and his disillusionment with the inept direction of the senior commanders in his diary.
The lonely figure of Private Jack Dunn, eating hard biscuits covered with flies, tells a tragic story.
Malnourished by bad food, he was hospitalised with dysentery but returned to duty while still sick. He fell asleep at his post and was sentenced to death by firing squad. Although his sentence was rescinded, he was killed in action a few days later.
The exhibition is also comprised of 3-D maps and projections, miniatures, models and interactive modules. The daily life activity station hosts a realm of surprises in drawers and cupboards.
Lieutenant Colonel William Malone’s detailed diary entries echoed Percival Fenwick’s disenchantment with his superiors and the conduct of the campaign. Inside a replica of his dugout, built according to a sketch made by Malone, an actors voice reads the last letter he wrote to his wife, Ida. The moving epistle suggests Malone was certain he would die in the August attack the following day. His intuition proved correct, he was accidentally killed by supporting artillery fire.
The ‘machine gunners trio’ was recreated based on a paragraph in the diary of Private Rikihana Carkeek.
He and fellow Māori soldier, Friday Hawkins found themselves on the same machine gun team under the command of Lieutenant Colin Warden who was unfortunately shot through the heart just after giving the gunners their range.
Almost immediately, gun Corporal Donald Ferris was shot through the head and killed instantly. As the scene depicts, Private Hawkins took charge of the gun while Private Carkeek moved into position to feed the belt. Shortly afterwards, Friday was shot through the wrist and Rikihana took over the gun before being shot through the base of the neck (yes, he survived). It seems all subsequent gunners were shot and badly wounded.
Auckland nurse Charlotte (Lottie) Le Gallais planned to meet up with her brother, Leddie, in Gallipoli. She was selected for the first voyage on the hospital ship Maheno, bound for Egypt but by the time she arrived, Leddie had been killed in action. She is portrayed having just learnt of his death, four months previously, when her letters to Leddie were returned unopened.
Having survived Gallipoli, Private Cecil Malthus then fought on the Western Front where he was promoted to sergeant and was then wounded in action at the First Battle of the Somme. He is the final figure in the exhibition, positioned in a muddy crater which has been filled with poppies by visitors, some bearing handwritten notes.

Universal Health Coverage Day 12 Dec – Right. Smart. Overdue
CANSA is part of the Universal Health Coverage coalition of leading health and development organizations urging governments to accelerate universal health coverage so that everyone, everywhere, can access quality health services without financial hardship. [Access the list of Organising Partners here.]
Health For All Saves Lives, Strengthens Nations, Is Achievable in Every Country.
Join the global coalition in urging greater action and progress on delivering universal health coverage. Already 100+ countries have taken steps toward ensuring everyone can access essential health services without financial hardship.
Universal Health Coverage Day, commemorated each 12 December, is the anniversary of the first unanimous United Nations resolution calling for countries to provide affordable, quality health care to every person, everywhere. Universal health coverage has been included in the new Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations.
No one should fall into poverty because they get sick and need health care. Universal health coverage is essential for making progress and for creating a fairer, more resilient society.
Universal Health Coverage Day is spearheaded by The Rockefeller Foundation, and encourages organisations from all corners of the globe, to display a prominent sign of support for Universal Health Coverage Day.
Right. Smart. Overdue.
Our generation has an unprecedented opportunity to make universal health coverage a reality.
Waiting For Health
Too many people are still waiting for health. Photographers around the world tell their stories.
The Economic Case
Economists declare that health eradicates extreme poverty and promotes growth of well-being.
Read Declaration
What is Universal Health Coverage?
The United Nations has adopted 17 sustainable development goals for eliminating poverty and building a more resilient planet. One of those goals includes providing universal health coverage. Universal health coverage improves how health care is financed and delivered – so it is more accessible, more equitable and more effective.
Nobody should go bankrupt when they get sick. Lack of affordable, quality health care traps families and nations in poverty. Worldwide, 400 million people lack the most basic life-saving health care, and 17% of people in low- and middle-income countries are pushed or further pushed into poverty (US$2/day) because of health spending. Up to one-third of households in Africa and Southeast Asia borrow money or sell assets to pay for health care.
Universal health coverage is attainable. 100+ low- and middle-income countries, home to three-quarters of the world’s population, have taken steps to deliver universal health coverage. Countries implementing universal health coverage are seeing the benefits: healthier communities and stronger economies. There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach. Countries are designing their own unique pathways toward health for all and exchanging lessons learned.
Universal health coverage promotes well-being. The Ebola crisis was a stark reminder of the urgent need to strengthen health systems. The poorest and most marginalized people bear the brunt of preventable mother and child deaths, infectious diseases like HIV/AIDS and non-communicable diseases such as cancer and heart disease. To effectively fight these threats, we must reach everyone, everywhere, with health care.
Health transforms communities and economies. Every $1 that a country invests in health today can produce up to $20 in full-income growth within a generation. When health care is accessible and affordable, families can send their children to school, start a business and save for emergencies. Universal health coverage pays a resilience dividend. In times of distress, health minimizes the shock to lives and livelihoods. In times of calm, health promotes community cohesion and economic productivity.
Health is a right, not a privilege. Access to quality health care should never depend on where you live, how much money you have or your race, gender or age. The World Health Organization’s constitution affirms that the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental human right. More than half of the world’s countries have included the right to health, public health or medical care in their national constitutions.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1999)
Why is it that beautiful women always fall in love with asses?
(1999) Romantic Fantasy (Fox Searchlight) Rupert Everett, Michelle Pfeiffer, Kevin Kline, Stanley Tucci, Calista Flockhart, Anna Friel, Christian Bale, Dominic West, David Strathairn, Sophie Marceau, Roger Rees, Max Wright, Gregory Jbara, Bill Irwin, Sam Rockwell, Bernard Hill. Directed by Michael Hoffman
At first glance, you’d think that A Midsummer Night’s Dream would be an excellent choice for a modern interpretation of Shakespeare. In fact, with the glut of Shakespeare adaptations that were in theaters at the time – Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Much Ado About Nothing and Henry V among them — it’s actually amazing this one didn’t get the star-studded, splashy treatment sooner.
In fact, of all of Shakespeare’s body of work other than those named above, only Taming of the Shrew, Macbeth and The Tempest have more resonance to 21st-century sensibilities than this in my opinion. Of course, you may have an opinion of your own.
A talented cast makes this a Dream worth having. Updated to a late 19th-century Italian setting, Hermia (Friel) is betrothed to Demetrius (Bale), but is in fact in love with Lysander (West). Demetrius is being pursued by Helena (Flockhart), who loves him unrequitedly. Hermia and Lysander plan to flee her intractable father (Hill) and Lord Theseus (Strathairn) – who as it turns out intends to wed himself, in his case the astonishingly beautiful Hippolyta (Marceau) – because they are forcing Hermia to wed her betrothed.
Perchance all four young people flee into a nearby forest, where Titania, Queen of the Faeries (Pfeiffer) has been carrying on, much to the chagrin of her husband Oberon (Everett). Oberon dispatches Puck (Tucci) to fetch a particular flower that when its essence is rubbed on the eyelids causes that person to fall in love with the first person they see. Mischievous Puck makes sure that the wrong lovers are paired up by the potion and that the Queen espies a would-be actor (Kline) who has been given the head of a donkey by Puck. Make sense yet? It’s Shakespeare – pay attention.
And by that I mean of course not. Truthfully, all you really need to know is that All’s Well That Ends Well and you won’t understand half of what’s going on and that’s quite okay. Still, it’s great fun to behold and I found myself laughing at lines written 500 years ago that are still uproariously funny. I’m not sure whether to be comforted or saddened that human nature hasn’t changed all that much in the intervening centuries.
Kline, Tucci and Everett are wondrous to behold; their classical training is in evidence and all of them take their roles and run with them. Pfeiffer does surprisingly well as the promiscuous Titania; she is at the height of her beauty here and to add fuel to the fire, she is showing signs here of her immense talent which had often to this point been overshadowed by her looks. Strathairn, one of John Sayle’s repertory actors, shows a great deal of affinity for Shakespeare which should not really be surprising – a great actor will rise to the occasion when given great material.
The element of fantasy is not as intrusive here as it might be in other romantic comedies and the filmmakers wisely shy away from turning this into a special effects extravaganza, using technology sparingly and subtly to enhance the story instead of overwhelming it. Kline and Tucci are particularly enjoyable in their performances – both are terrific actors but have never been regarded as Shakespearean classicists. They handle the challenge well here.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream is anything but boring although an atmosphere free of distraction is preferable when viewing it – having a 10-year-old demanding my attention probably deducted at least half a star from the rating which is patently unfair. Nevertheless, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is frothy, lighthearted and enjoyable – a perfect introduction to the Bard for those who have had little or no experience with him.
WHY RENT THIS: Light, frothy entertainment solidly acted. A good introduction to The Bard if you are unfamiliar with his work.
WHY RENT SOMETHING ELSE: Might be awfully confusing for those with short attention spans and an impatience for language.
FAMILY MATTERS: There is a bit of sexuality involved.
TRIVIAL PURSUITS: Some of the incidental music is taken from composer Felix Mendelssohn’s score for the 1843 staging of the play.
NOTABLE HOME VIDEO FEATURES: None listed.
BOX OFFICE PERFORMANCE: $16.1M on an $11M production budget; the movie was a mild box office failure.
COMPARISON SHOPPING: The Tempest

Angela Balcita talks about Moonface
Angela Balcita has written an incredible brave, incredibly funny and moving book about kidney failure, organ donors and the path of true love. I was thrilled that she agreed to answer my questions. Thank you, Angela!
Your story originated in Modern Love. What made you decide to write about it for that column, and what was it like expanding it into a memoir?
Actually, MOONFACE did not originate in Modern Love. I began writing the story in graduate school. The first few chapters of MOONFACE made up my thesis for my MFA degree in nonfiction writing. After graduate school, I held on to those chapters, not quite sure if I should continue with the project or move on to something else. At the time, I enjoyed reading the Modern Love column, mostly because the people in it often seemed to have oddball romances not unlike my mine and Chris’s. So, I wrote an essay, pulling a lot from that thesis, and I submitted it to Modern Love’s editor.
After the piece was published, a couple agents reached out to me and told me they loved the story and wondered if there was a manuscript behind the essay or if this piece was ready to be turned into a book. That really got me motivated to keep writing. My agent and I sold the book to Harper as a love story about the successful kidney transplant I had received from my husband. But during the process of completing the manuscript, the story changed. Real life events forced me to rewrite some pages and add what I never imagined would be there.
I was fascinated by your relationship with your husband, who donated a kidney to you. How did it impact your relationship and do you feel you somehow understand him more because of it?
I think we both looked at the transplant as a union. I understood his heart a little better, and how he ached when I ached, how he was happy only when I was happy, and vice versa. That helped me get a glimpse into what marriage is about. Even though we weren’t married at the time, the transplant symbolized a commitment we were willing to make to each other. It solidified a feeling that was already there.
I’ve always struggled with the idea of sacrifice. From the recipient’s perspective, it was hard for me to accept such a gift without feeling the full spectrum of emotions: love, joy, gratitude, guilt, worry, concern, fear. And while there is a certain about of responsibility that comes with receiving an organ, there is also this sense that my donors were giving me these gifts so that I could have a full life, and so that I could live the life that I imagined for myself.
So, after our transplant, I fully understood why my good-hearted people like my husband make the sacrifices they make, why good people do good things.
You've had three different donors. How did each donation change your relationships?
My first transplant was from my brother, Joel. When he donated his kidney, he was just barely an adult (I was eighteen and he was twenty-two). And yet for him, this mature decision to donate was automatic. He didn’t even mull the situation over. He knew that he was the best candidate for the surgery, and so he immediately signed himself up for the task. I had a hard time seeing him go through the recovery. That was the early 90’s, when the surgery for the donor was more involved. But, as always, he was cool and constant. He’s taught me a lot about strength, duty, and doing the right thing. I always idolized while we growing up, and now, I do even more so.
As the book details, Chris and I were wading through uncharted territory post-transplant. We were both still just dating and trying to figure out what would happen next. Questions about marriage, family, love, and sacrifice get a little trickier when there is something like a transplant involved. So after his donation, I would say our relationship became more defined, in a way, and we laid out a precedent for how we were going to handle future twists and turns in life. But learning these things did not come easily.
And my last donor, Maggie, was a friend from graduate school. Before she knew I was in need of another transplant, she was ready to offer her kidney in an altruistic donation. That’s just the way she’s always been—eager to help someone when she knows she can. She’s taught me so much about selflessness and generosity. She had always been a close friend, but now, she and her wife are members of my family. (In a way, Maggie is a blood relative!). Now, almost two years after the transplant, she and her wife are expecting their first child. I look forward learning more about motherhood from the both of them.
You found love in the midst of a chronic illness--any words of advice to others battling long-term disease? How did you keep your incredible spirit up?
Chris and I have always chosen to look at life as a celebration. Yes, there are hard times, troubling issues, chronic illnesses, and yes, it takes a lot of patience and courage to work through those things. And it’s important to observe and examine your feelings during those moments. Chris and I don’t overlook or laugh off those times of frustration or anger or sadness. We talk them out and write them out; we often let ourselves get emotional. But, we try to not hold on to those feelings for too long. We try to shift our perspective so that we can move beyond them.
Life is a celebration—there’s always something to celebrate. Whether it’s a good doctor’s check-up or making an extraordinarily delicious dinner or having a healthy brilliant, baby girl, there is at least one reason why you should be dancing right now.
What's up next for you?
I want to spend some time enjoying and celebrating my family instead of making them into characters and writing about them. We’ve had a rough few years, so I’m hoping the rest of our years will be boring and uneventful.
I’d love to find a way to balance motherhood with writing, because so far, I’ve found that doing both is difficult. When I do sneak away a find a few hours to write here and there, I find myself being drawn back to older family stories: my family’s emigration from the Philippines, their adjustment into a new culture, the richness of our ethnic ancestry. So, perhaps a new project will come out of those stories.
What question didn't I ask that I should have?
What kind of response to the book are you receiving from your readers?
I’m finding that readers are connecting with the book in different ways. I’ve received emails from people with chronic illness who say they’ve gone through similar experiences, and they understand how illness takes a toll on every aspect of your life. Young sufferers, particularly, like that I talked about being sick at a young age, during a time of growing and experiencing new things.
Other people have told me that they connected with the discussion of marriage in the book, and they are looking are their relationships differently. I bet there are a lot of women out there asking their husbands, “Would you give me a kidney if I needed one?” Sorry, guys.
Of course, there are people who question the choices I’ve made in my life, and I can’t blame them for doubting me. At times, I doubted myself. But, I’m grateful that the transplants I’ve had enabled me to make those choices, that they’ve opened up my world to hope and possibility. That is what living on this earth should be about.

5 Best Natural Ingredients to Nourish Your Skin
Skin Care, Tips for Models & Talent
Skincare doesn’t have to consist of an elaborate 10-step process with over a dozen products. When it comes to radiant skin, going au naturel with your routine is often more effective! What’s more, the most nourishing ingredients also tend to be the simplest and most affordable ones. Here are five unprocessed ingredients that will do wonders for your skin and help you feel naturally beautiful:
Coconut oil has long been regarded as a health product, but it has also more recently gained recognition as a beauty staple. In fact, our Glowing Skin with a Natural Facial Scrub post had coconut oil as the star ingredient, as it is well-known for its moisturizing properties. Much like its main source, coconuts, the extract is great for keeping the skin hydrated and preventing dryness and flakiness. But there’s more to it than that! Coconut oil contains medium-chain fatty acids, a mild antimicrobial agent that can kill bacteria on the surface of the skin. If you’re struggling with acne, bacteria may be what’s clogging your pores, and coconut oil can be an effective solution.
Honey is a staple ingredient for cooking and apparently, for skincare, too. Byrdie points out that raw honey can be used several ways — as a natural face mask, spot reducer, and gentle exfoliator! When mixed with water and lathered onto the skin, honey can actually clear your pores. You can also try dabbing raw honey directly to your pimples or scars to speed up their healing process. The delicious sweetener can even brighten dark spots and slough off dead skin cells.
Aloe vera reigns supreme among pretty succulents, for it also has a ton of medicinal and cosmetic purposes. Aside from fighting inflammatory acne, the gel-like substance inside its leaves is full of nutrients that can treat a variety of skin conditions. Pretty Me states that aloe vera is particularly good for sunburns, as it works to moisturize and repair skin cells. This hydrating property is also what makes it a good treatment for conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and even minor burns and wounds. So if you’re headed to the beach or are prone to getting scrapes and cuts, it’s best to keep aloe vera around!
Avocado is known as “nature’s butter,” and for good reason. Columnist Justina Elumeze explains that it contains over 20 essential vitamins and minerals, as well as omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants. You can eat avocado and experience its benefits from the inside out, but the fruit can also be applied topically. For example, avocado can be mashed with other ingredients to create a natural face mask that can leave the skin moisturized all day. When mixed with brown sugar and strawberries, it also acts as a face scrub that prevents dull-looking skin by removing dead skin cells.
Essential oils are not just known for their soothing scent. Some, like tea tree oil, have benefits on the skin, too! Tea tree oil is particularly known for its antibacterial properties, which are more powerful than the effect of coconut oil. This means that it can also be used as acne treatment, if there are no other causes behind the breakouts. A study on the International Journal of Dermatology also notes that tea tree oil can treat and prevent dandruff when infused into shampoos and used two to three times a week. However, it’s important to note that tea tree oil is highly concentrated, which might result in allergic reactions in some people. So it’s best to use it with caution!

About Carrollton
Carrollton is a city located in the northwestern corner of Georgia, United States. As of the 2010 census, it had a population of 24,388. The city is the county seat of Carroll County. Carrollton was established as a trading post in 1826 and was named after Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Maryland. It quickly developed into a prosperous cotton town, and by the 1850s it was one of the largest towns in Georgia. The city’s growth continued unabated until the Civil War when it was occupied by Union forces. In the years following the war, Carrollton slowly rebuilt itself, and today it is a thriving community with a strong sense of history and tradition. While cotton is no longer king, agriculture remains an important part of the local economy, and Carrollton is home to a number of businesses and industries. The city is also a popular tourist destination, thanks to its charming downtown area and scenic location in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. With its friendly atmosphere and small-town charm, Carrollton is a great place to live, work, and raise a family.
The History of Carrollton
The city is named for Charles Carroll, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Carrollton was originally settled as a trading post by Native Americans, but it soon became a prosperous agricultural community. In the mid-19th century, the city served as a major stop on the Underground Railroad, helping to ferry escaped slaves to freedom. Today, Carrollton is a thriving city with a population of over 30,000. The city is home to numerous historic sites, including the neoclassical Carrollton Courthouse and the 1839 jail where slave trader Lewis Collins was held before his trial. Carrollton is also home to the University of West Georgia, one of the state’s largest universities. With its rich history and vibrant present, Carrollton is a city that has much to offer.

GILM 105: Sunday Gospels in Ordinary Time
Posted on 10 April 2011 by catholicsensibility
Sunday gospel readings in Ordinary Time are explained:
105. On the Second Sunday of Ordinary Time the Gospel continues to center on the manifestation of the Lord, which is celebrated on the Solemnity of the Epiphany, through the traditional passage about the wedding feast at Cana and two other passages from the Gospel of John.
Beginning with the Third Sunday, there is a semicontinuous reading of the Synoptic Gospels. This reading is arranged in such a way that as the Lord’s life and preaching unfold the doctrine proper to each of these Gospels is presented.
This distribution also provides a certain coordination between the meaning of each Gospel and the progress of the liturgical year. Thus after Epiphany the readings are on the beginning of the Lord’s preaching and they fit in well with Christ’s baptism and the first events in which he manifests himself. The liturgical year leads quite naturally to a conclusion in the eschatological theme proper to the last Sundays, since the chapters of the Synoptics that precede the account of the Passion treat this eschatological theme rather extensively.
Did you ever wonder why the Bread of Life discourse in John 6 was placed where it was?
After the Sixteenth Sunday in Year B, five readings are incorporated from John chapter 6 (the discourse on the bread of life). This is the natural place for these readings because the multiplication of the loaves from the Gospel of John takes the place of the same account in Mark. In the semicontinuous reading of Luke for Year C, the introduction of this Gospel has been prefixed to the first text (that is, on the Third Sunday). This passage expresses the author’s intention very beautifully and there seemed to be no better place for it.

FrMichael says:
I use the summer John 6 interlude to pound home the dogmatic Eucharistic doctrines of the Council of Trent.

Narcos Mexico Season 4 Updates
It’s bad news for Narcos Mexico fans who are looking forward to the fourth installment. When the third season was released, the show’s creators made some statements to the press about why they wanted to end the show. “This season was a huge success,” Doug said. “I saw this season as the origin story of our modern world.” He went on to say that it felt like bringing the show up to that point for him. They now recognise that the show could be better, but they want to end it now. The show has more cards that can lift the curtain and show you how this all started.
Bernard, the producer, stated that there are more stories in store for them. This is a good time to end because we promised to deliver the story from the modern world in which we live, and we did. We never want to make the same mistake twice.

LEGITIMATION, LEGITIMACY AND RECOGNITION IN THE CONFLICT OF LAWS
CHARLES W TAINTOR
In order to determine whether a given person has rights in relation to his parent or child, his legal relation or status must also be determined. In this article the author discusses the creation of a child’s status in relation to the conflict of laws. First, he examines several English cases whereby the legitimacy of a marriage and child is at issue, and thus the domicile of the parties is the primary consideration. Next, he focuses on American cases, as well as French law, in relation to legitimation and legitimacy and the varied accompanying circumstances. The author then focuses on problems encountered in the creation of legitimacy at birth, as well as those encountered in cases of legitimation by an event occurring after birth. In concluding his article, the author examines the doctrine of the relation back of legitimacy and argues that in the United States it is probable that legitimation does not relate back.

Budget 2022: Assocham pitches for permanent refinance window for NBFC sector
The funding support to the non-banking finance companies (NBFCs) will ensure liquidity in the sector, as they play a key role in financial inclusion and providing affordable financial services to the underbanked, Assocham said in its recommendations to the government through a pre-budget budget memorandum.
The government will present the Budget for fiscal 2022-23 on February 1.
Industry body Assocham has recommended setting up a refinance window for the NBFC sector and making banks' lending to non-banking financial companies under priority sector permanent for the upcoming Union Budget.
The industry body said that in the past few years the NBFC sector has witnessed a liquidity crunch in the market due to external factors.
During such times, the ability to borrow funds at rational pricing became difficult, it added.
"A dedicated refinance window for NBFCs directly from the central bank, on the lines of National Housing Bank (which provides refinance to housing finance companies or HFCs) has been a long-standing demand for the NBFC sector," Assocham said.
The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance in June 2003 had recommended the setting up of a new refinance institution for NBFCs.
In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic that impacted the rural underbanked adversely, the RBI had mandated lending by banks to NBFCs for on-lending to agriculture, MSME and housing to qualify as priority sector lending. The window was available till September 30, 2021.
Banks' lending to NBFC under priority sector should be made permanent, the industry body suggested.
"As NBFCs play a key role in financial inclusion and providing affordable financial services to the underbanked, we suggest that this window can be made available on an ongoing basis subject to certain limits such as 10 per cent of total priority sector lending of banks. This will enhance the reach of the PSL initiatives and add depth to the same," it said in the memorandum.
Among others, it has also recommended the government to establish an alternate investment fund for NBFCs; on-tap issuance of secured bonds; establishment of a refinance mechanism with financial institutions to reduce overdependence on banks.
NBFCs are allowed to raise funds by issuing non-convertible debentures (NCDs/bonds) having flexible tenures and rates, via private placement as well as through public issues.
"While private placements have severe restrictions on the number of investors, the frequency of issue etc, public issue of bonds tends to be very expensive, laborious and inflexible.
“It is proposed that NBFCs be allowed an on-tap facility for issuance of NCDs to the retail market by making the offering of NCDs through an easy to operate and less costly procedure," it demanded.
However, it should be allowed with proper governance to provide investor protection and comfort, the industry body said.
It has also urged the government to widen the role of the National Housing Bank to refinance all NBFCs and not just HFCs. Also, permit subsidiary companies of NBFCs to promote the insurance business.
Assocham has also recommended amending the Insurance Act to permit a subsidiary company to promote the insurance business.
"When a financial services company is a subsidiary of another company then it's not possible to diversify into the insurance sector as subsidiary companies are not allowed to promote an insurance company. Hence the financial service company is not able to meet the insurance needs of its customers," according to Assocham.
The industry body has also urged the government to float a special purpose vehicle (SPV) with initial capital infusion by the government, which may then raise funds by issuing bonds.
This SPV may use the funds exclusively for the funding of small and medium-sized NBFCs. It should be allowed to leverage about 4 times thus providing INR 5,000 crore of fresh funds to the NBFCs, the body said.
Further, it has also suggested allowing the deposit-taking NBFCs to accept recurring deposits to facilitate financial inclusion and inculcate savings culture in rural India.
It will also prevent the gullible small investors from falling prey to the unregulated and unorganised sector, Assocham said.
NBFCs to witness revival in growth this year; may see slight uptick in NPAs
On the other hand, gross non-performing assets (NPAs) of NBFCs are likely to rise, following the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) move to tighten the NPA norms in November 2021.
NBFC sector expected to remain buoyant: RBI report
“With the increased pace of vaccinations and the broadening revival of the economy, the NBFC sector is expected to remain buoyant,” the report said.The financial system is maturing from a bank-dominated space to a hybrid system, wherein non-bank intermediaries are gaining prominence. The developments in the sector in 2020-21 are a harbinger of even brighter prospects in the years ahead, it said.

Things are falling these days. Acorns, leaves, the temperature, walnuts.
I awoke Saturday morning to the POP POP POP POP, PLINK CLICK of acorns on my roof and the air conditoner outside my bedroom window. It is really loud. I have to be careful with my bare feet when I walk through the backyard now, or I’ll stomp down on an acorn. Oak trees don’t produce acorns until they are at least 20 years old, sometimes not until they are 50. For more about the beloved oak – go here.
My parents have a walnut tree in their front yard that shadows part of the driveway. So when you back up into the turn around you hear the crunch of walnuts being crushed on the bricks. When I was little I used to collect them and crack them open and try to eat them. They never tasted very good, but it was entertaining. My mom has a collection of walnuts from the front yard in plate that looks like it was made out of leaves in the living room of their house. I like it.
It was really chilly this morning for the first time, and this is the first blustery day we have had so far. I was starting to think October would be gone before we got some good fall weather.

Depo-Provera is an injection given to women every three months in order to prevent pregnancy. Lunelle was a drug similar to Depo-Provera, and was injected once a month. However, two short years after the FDA approved its use in 2000, Lunelle was recalled by its manufacturer (Pharmacia), and it is no longer available.
One way Depo-Provera works is by reducing a woman’s chances of ovulating. However, since it changes the lining of the uterus, it also can cause early abortions when breakthrough ovulation occurs.[1] With perfect use the effectiveness of the shot in preventing pregnancy is very high—about 99 percent. But with typical use 3 percent of women become pregnant each year. [2]
Few drugs have a more controversial history than Depo-Provera. In the 1950s a scientist for the pharmaceutical company Upjohn was experimenting with the hormone progesterone, and he created depomedroxyprogesterone acetate (Depo-Provera). By 1960 the company received FDA approval for the drug as a treatment for endometriosis and habitual miscarriages. However, ten years later the FDA revoked this approval because there was no evidence that the drug worked. Instead it seemed to cause heart defects in babies.
But while the drug was being tested on women in Brazil, researchers discovered that it was also able to prevent pregnancy.[3] As a result of this finding, Upjohn decided to seek approval for the drug as a contraceptive. Studies began on rats, and results looked promising. The FDA granted the drug Investigative Drug Status. This means that it appeared safe based upon previous animal studies, and so research could continue on other animals—and humans. Despite the fact that the drug was still in the early testing phase, doctors from Jamaica to Los Angeles were already prescribing it to women as the newest contraceptive.[4].
By 1965 the drug was being tested on women in foreign countries. A few years later studies began on dogs, monkeys, and over ten thousand women in Atlanta (a disproportionate number of whom were poor and black). The dogs developed breast cancer, and the monkeys developed endometrial cancer. But as for the women in Atlanta, no annual reports were given to the FDA, as required. After eleven years investigators went to assess the situation because of “something funny going on.”[5]
What they discovered was that women were not given adequate information about the side effects, consent forms were absent, and women with medical conditions were given the shot despite the fact that the drug could endanger their health. Some women died of cancer, and others committed suicide (depression is now a well-known side effect of Depo-Provera). Researchers lost track of most of the women in the study, and the research was disregarded.[6]
Years later researchers studied more women from the same area in Atlanta. However, this time they followed up with the women (again, most of whom were poor and black). The scientists showed that about half of the women quit taking the shot after a year. Their main reason was that they were displeased with the side effects. Nonetheless, the summary of this research was entitled “Depo-Provera: an excellent contraceptive for those who continue to use it.”[7] Today African-American women continue to be the primary targets of those who promote Depo-Provera, and they are twice as likely to use the drug as white women.[8] Likewise, the poorer a woman is, the more likely she is to be prescribed Depo-Provera.[9]
Because Depo-Provera was found to cause cancer in beagles, veterinarians stopped giving it to dogs, and the animal version of the drug (Promone) was taken off the market.[10] Testing continued on women, however. A member of the FDA’s Bureau of Drugs testified, “Animal data for this drug is more worrisome than any other drug we know of that is being given to well people.”[11] Unfazed, the pharmaceutical company pushed the drug overseas. According to the makers of the drug, they paid government officials, hospital employees, and others more than $4 million in the early 1970s in order to secure sales of Depo-Provera internationally.[12]
Despite urgings from those in favor of the shot, the FDA denied approval of Depo-Provera at least three times because of safety concerns for both mother and child.[13] Meanwhile, the drug was being used on millions of women in over ninety countries, such as Nigeria, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Thailand, India, and other developing nations.[14] Reports of liver cancer, decreased bone mass, and children born with extra or missing fingers didn’t help Upjohn’s prospects of legalizing the drug in America.
However, in 1991 the World Health Organization published the most comprehensive research of the time, reporting no increased risk of cancer of the liver, ovaries, or cervix. It even demonstrated a protective effect against endometrial cancer. However, breast cancer risk was doubled in the first five years of use. With this new research Upjohn again asked the FDA to approve the drug in 1992. Numerous groups protested, including the National Women’s Health Network, the National Black Women’s Health Project, and the National Latina Health Organization. Despite their objections, the FDA approved the drug in October 1992.
At the time, the acting president of Planned Parenthood was ecstatic, calling the approval “a very exciting development that is long overdue.”[15] Many women did not share his enthusiasm. Since the approval in 1992, many women’s groups have united to request that the FDA impose a moratorium on the use of the shot.[16] While many women do not experience serious side effects from Depo, other women have gone off the drug, saying, “This hideous poison should never have made it out of the lab.”[17]
Even after the FDA’s approval of the drug, many countries were still hesitant to license it. In 1991 Canadian women’s groups and various health associations petitioned their government to keep the drug out of the country. They wrote, “We urge the government to stand by their decision of 1988, and to remain committed to protecting the health and safety of Canadian women.” Aware of the side effects of Depo-Provera, advocates of women’s health were especially concerned about the fact that the shot was “currently being prescribed to teenagers, the physically and mentally disabled, immigrant, Native and Inuit women without their informed consent.”[18]
Unfortunately, these protests were not heeded, and the drug was approved for use in Canada in 1997. But by 2005 women seeking compensation for their suffering brought a class-action lawsuit of $700 million against the makers of the drug.[19] Some of them suffered early osteoporosis and bone fractures, needed knee replacements, and complained that they were never warned about the drug’s ability to thin a woman’s bones. One of the attorneys involved in the lawsuit mentioned that he was defending a woman who was is in her twenties and may soon need a hip replacement.
Nowadays Depo-Provera is made by the pharmaceutical company Pfizer. That name might ring a bell. Pfizer is also being sued because of the heart attacks, deaths, and birth defects attributed to other drugs they manufacture, such as Zoloft and Celebrex.
Objections to Depo-Provera span the globe. Women’s groups in India requested a complete ban on the shot, which had been approved for marketing in their country before the necessary safety trials had been completed. They wrote, “In a country where a large percentage of women in the reproductive age suffer from anemia, irregular and heavy bleeding can have catastrophic consequences. Studies have shown that injectable contraceptives like Depo-Provera can also lead to osteoporosis. This can have grave consequences for poor women with low bone density due to poor nutritional status. . . . The evidence available is already damning and it would be unethical to subject more women to clinical trials with these contraceptives.”[20]
According to India’s Economic and Political Weekly, one reason the FDA approved Depo-Provera was that the U.S. was concerned with population control in third world countries, whose governments were hesitant to approve a drug that was not even licensed in the country that created it.[21] Thankfully the women’s groups in India won a victory for women’s health in 2002, when the Indian government cancelled its plan to introduce Depo-Provera through the government health services systems.[22]
In September 2004 the makers of Depo-Provera received more bad news about their drug: it increases a woman’s risk of contracting certain STDs. According to the journalSexually Transmitted Diseases, when a woman takes the shot, she triples her chances of being infected with gonorrhea and chlamydia (which can sterilize a woman).[23] The scientists speculated that the increased disease risk might be caused by the drug’s interference with a woman’s immune system or by its ability to assist the growth of infections.
Regardless of how it makes a woman more susceptible to disease, the discovery is troubling. For example, when the drug is used in certain population control programs, many women do not have access to modern health care services. Interestingly, the study that discovered this STD link was funded in part by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), who provided over forty million units of Depo-Provera to developing nations, especially in Africa.[24] Undoubtedly the women who used it were unaware of the Depo-Provera–STD connection and were probably also ignorant of the fact that infection with gonorrhea or chlamydia makes a woman up to five times as likely to contract HIV, if exposed.[25]
Disappointingly, the makers of the shot deny any STD connection, stating on their Web site, “There is no proof from clinical studies that shows Depo-Provera increases your risk of acquiring a sexually transmitted disease.”[26] Unfortunately, as of 2008, Pfizer still has not corrected its Web site, despite the fact that the contradictory research was published in 2004.
Two months after the STD connection was discovered, Depo-Provera received more bad press when the FDA slapped a “black box” warning on the label.[27] According to the FDA, “a ‘black box’ warning is the most serious warning placed in the labeling of a prescription medication.”[28] In the case of the shot, it was required because the medicine can cause irreversible bone loss in women, which can lead to osteoporosis. The researchers who discovered this noticed the effects in girls as young as twelve. This is especially problematic for young women, because the teenage years are a critical time for bone development. After years of receiving birth control injections as a teen, a girl in her early twenties could have the bones of a fifty- to sixty-year-old.
However, the same year that the shot received the black box warning, the makers of the drug raked in $200 million in revenue from it.[29] Because of the concerns of bone loss, Pfizer and the FDA now say that the shot should never be used for longer than two years, unless a woman has no other option.
In regard to side effects, the above information is only the beginning. According to the makers of the shot, here are some of the other potential side effects of the drug:[30]
Young women who have taken the shot in the last four years are more than twice as likely to develop breast cancer. Children born to women on Depo-Provera are more likely to have webbed toes and fingers, and chromosomal anomalies. The boys are twice as likely to have genital deformities, and the baby girls are more likely to suffer masculinizing effects of the drug’s chemicals, causing genital abnormalities. Babies conceived to women on Depo-Provera may be at an increased risk of low birth weight, which is associated with an increased risk of neonatal death. (Research not done by the makers of the shot reports that infants exposed to the shot while in their mother’s wombs were 80 percent more likely to die in their first year of life.)[31]
Depo-Provera can pass through a mother’s breast milk to her child. Most studies do not show adverse effects on the baby. However, one study of women who took the shot two days after the delivery of their baby showed it had substantial consequences. The babies in this group had a 75 percent higher incidence of infectious diseases visits to the doctor in their first year of life. Women on Depo-Provera tend to experience weight gain according to how long they have been on the drug: five pounds in the first year, eight by the second, fourteen by the fourth, and over sixteen pounds by the sixth year.
Many women on the shot stop having periods after one year of use. However, when a woman goes off the shot, the menstrual period “will usually, in time, return to its normal cycle.” Many women who take the shot will be able to become pregnant soon after stopping the injections. Sometimes, there is a delay in the return of fertility. For example, about half are unable to conceive within ten months of their last injection. Seventeen percent were unable to get pregnant after fifteen months off the shot, and 7 percent were still not able to conceive after eighteen months.
Other side effects include menstrual irregularities, abdominal pain, dizziness, headache, fatigue, nervousness, backache, breast pain, leg cramps, depression, bloating, nausea, rash, insomnia, acne, joint pain, convulsions, numbness, coughing up blood, severe allergic reactions, spontaneous flow of breast milk, darkening of the facial skin, urinary infections, cysts, chest pain, anemia, artery blockage in the lung, loss of consciousness related to temporary insufficient blood flow to the brain, shortness of breath, fever, excessive sweating and body odor, dry skin, excessive thirst, blood disease, rectal bleeding, nipple bleeding, prevention of lactation (breast milk), paralysis, facial nerve damage, skin disease, excessive uterine growth, varicose veins, painful cramps, no hair growth or excessive hair growth in unusual places, and blood clots.
Depo-Provera is well known for decreasing a woman’s sex drive. Because of its ability to kill a person’s libido, the shot is sometimes injected into child molesters as a punishment![32] In California, the State Senate ruled that “The parolee shall begin medroxyprogesterone acetate [Depo-Provera] treatment one week prior to his or her release from confinement in the state prison or other institution and shall continue treatments until the Department of Corrections demonstrates to the Board of Prison Terms that this treatment is no longer necessary.”[33] So the drug that is too dangerous for dogs but just right for sex offenders is offered to women at their local Planned Parenthood clinic!
Why would doctors allow their patients to ingest such chemicals? In September 2009, newspapers across the country announced that the government was fining Pfizer Pharmaceuticals a record 2.3 billion dollars for illegal drug promotions. In the drug industry, companies hire pharmaceutical sales representatives to pitch their products to doctors. Normally, the business meetings take place in the doctor’s office. However, Pfizer reps have been caught wining and dining the doctors. In the words of one ex-Pfizer employee, “You got exorbitantly large bonuses if you got these large practices to switch to your drugs.”[34] In an effort to butter up the doctors to buy drugs such as Depo Provera, Pfizer sales reps were caught paying for doctors to receive free golf, massages, and resort junkets. Thankfully, the government caught Pfizer in the act (for the fourth time in the past decade), and will now be monitoring their marketing strategies.

In a small town near where I live, there is single blinking red traffic light. There are many intersections in the town, but this light marks the only true crossroads in the community. Depending on what you do at this stop light, you can experience some very different outcomes.
I have noticed that God allows crossroads along my journey. As I consider those already in my rearview mirror, I note that at all true crossroads in my life, He has always provided the opportunity to stop.
God is not vindictive and spiteful. He does not bring us to crossroads to get back at us for not driving right. I believe the Bible shows that He allows crossroads to give us opportunity to pause and reflect; to consider and even to ask for direction. Sometimes we need the crossroads to remind us that the journey is not some mindless wandering. We need to be reminded that there is a purpose and that we need to consider the outcomes are not ultimately about what we want. The way may be straight and narrow, but there is still a map to consult. There is still a Map Maker who just happens to also be the Road Builder – and He loves to talk about both.
Are you at a crossroads? Is there a blinking red light? You are free to move, but maybe you are there so that you can take a little time to get refocused, re-grounded, or possible get out of the drivers seat.
Listen. Don’t be afraid to wait.

The Best Diet for Healthy Aging?
Food Living Well
By Val Schonberg, Environmental Nutrition Newsletter
Worldwide, people are living longer. In 2000, one in 10 people in the U.S. were age 65 and over, and by 2035 the United Nations predicts that one in five will be 65 and older — with over 6% of the U.S. population over 80 years of age. Numerous studies show that what we eat can affect health and longevity, so what’s the best diet for aging and living a longer, healthier life?
“There’s no best diet, but there are a lot of good ones,” says Christine Rosenbloom, PhD, RDN, FAND, a nutrition professor emerita at Georgia State University and co-author of “Food and Fitness After 50.” Rosenbloom says that a good healthy eating plan is flexible, includes foods people like, and addresses an individual’s health concerns. However, in today’s anti-aging culture with headlines and chatter about popular diet trends, how does one determine what makes up a “good” diet?
Following are “red flags” to consider when discerning what is or is not reliable information when it comes to today’s (or tomorrow’s) fad diet.
Nutrient deficiency or excess. Eating plans that limit or restrict foods or food groups make it difficult to get the nutrients needed for healthy aging. For example, eliminating whole grains, beans, legumes, and/or fruit decreases fiber intake necessary for maintaining intestinal health and protecting against heart disease. Food plans that restrict dairy foods make it difficult to meet calcium, vitamin D, and phosphorus needs, if not replaced with other foods, therefore compromising bone health. Conversely, very low carbohydrate diets may lead to excessive fat intake, potentially increasing an individual’s risk of heart disease and certain cancers.
Poor energy. Diets that encourage skipping meals or restricting carbohydrates can deplete fuel sources in the body, resulting in fatigue. Because glucose is the main energy source for the brain, lack of focus or concentration may increase an older adult’s risk of falls, or for physically active individuals, an increased risk of injury to muscle or bone tissue.
Loss of lean tissue and weight regain. Caloric restriction for weight control (which most diets are) can lead to loss of lean tissue. Consequently, when the dieter “gives in,” stops the diet, or resumes their usual eating pattern, the body restores weight — often in the form of fat tissue. Recent studies have documented the negative effects of repeated cycles of dieting on weight regain, increased fat mass, compromised immune health, and decreased bone density.
Increased risk of disordered eating. The pursuit of weight loss, even in the name of health, can contribute to the emotional and psychological distress of trying to stick to the diet, dealing with weight plateaus, or intense hunger and fatigue that triggers a cycle of undereating and overeating. Moreover, feelings of shame or guilt may contribute to mood disorders or depression when the dieter is unable to achieve expected weight goals or regains the lost weight.
Diet for healthy aging
Principles that support healthy eating for older adults include the following.
Eat a balanced diet. As people age, calorie needs decrease, however many nutrients, such as protein and certain vitamins and minerals remain high. Some older people struggle with loss of appetite, taste changes, teeth or denture issues, side effects from medication, budget concerns, or dependence on institutional meals and may be eating less food or less variety.
To maximize nutrient-dense foods, Rosenbloom encourages older adults to stock up on pantry basics, including canned beans and vegetables. She tries to dispel the myth that only fresh fruits and vegetables are healthy, when packaged foods can be just as healthy, are easier to prepare, and have a longer shelf life.
Improve diet quality. A diet high in plant foods (beans, vegetables, nuts, fruit, whole grains) and low in processed foods is associated with improvements in cardiovascular health measures and is recommended by the American Institute for Cancer Research for reducing cancer risk.
For those who want to adopt a plant-based diet, but don’t want to give up meat, Rosenbloom recommends a Mediterranean diet that encourages eating more fish and less red meat or the DASH diet (which stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) for individuals with high blood pressure. Both diets emphasize vegetables and fruits, low-fat dairy foods, moderate amounts of whole grains, fish, poultry, and nuts, and they have high-quality studies showing positive health outcomes.
Create a support circle. An observation from the diet literature is that people are successful when they have accountability and support. Therefore, try to choose one or two people who will help you be successful with your goals. Schedule fitness- and nutrition-oriented gatherings to connect, share recipes and learn how to prepare healthy meals.
Finally, remember to start small. Change should come gradually for sustainable behavior modification to take place. For example, add fish or a meatless meal to the menu once a week or add one serving of fruit and vegetables to your daily intake. “Regarding sweets and desserts, I remind people the second half tastes like the first. Keep a watch on the portions and enjoy your food,” says Rosenbloom.

Radio Silence Over…
October 31, 2016 Chloë J. Hobbs Leave a comment
Here a few things that I have been involved with in the last couple of months (or so…):
On 31 August I hosted an experimental music concert: the ANU New Music Ensemble performed works by some old hats, Earle Brown and Morton Feldman, as well as recent works by Marcello Messina, and ANU’s own Tom Connell and myself.
On September 3, I was a part of the 21st Annual Precipice Performance event in Canberra. Ben Drury, Richard Johnson and I performed an improvised set with some talented experimental dancers and performance artists. https://www.facebook.com/events/1184562904937715/
On September 24, the EMS crew and I performed with Martyn Jolly at the Siteworks festival at the Bundanon Trust. Our performance, ‘Tragic Drowning Fatality’, involved thirty original magic lantern slides from the 1880s to the 1920s (Martyn Jolly), six actors from the region who read actual testimony of a double drowning that occurred in the Shoalhaven River in 1922, and EMS members (Andy Ryan, Jack Livingston, Ben Harb, Alec Hunter, and myself) accompanying the action with some amazing music composed by Dr Alec Hunter. https://bundanon.com.au/whats-on/siteworks-2016/
Also, I recently had the opportunity to have a piece of mine (‘Delphic’, for pierrot ensemble) recorded by Ensemble Offspring! Stay tuned to hear the recording.
Later in November…
I’m looking forward to travelling to Brisbane to share some of my works with the crew at the Conservatory of Music. I will also be presenting a paper at the ANU Postgraduate Symposium. More on these exciting things later…
New Music Ensemble Experimental Music Concert
August 29, 2016 Chloë J. Hobbs Leave a comment
This Wednesday evening (August 31, 2016) the New Music Ensemble is hosting a concert at ANU (held in the Big Band Room at 6.30pm). We will be playing new works by student composers, myself, overseas colleagues (Marcello Messina), and some old favourites from the New York School of composers (though, with a special New Music Ensemble slant…). I’m looking forward to it!
Collected Resonances

The Experimental Music Studio hosts a monthly series at the Ainslie Arts Centre in Canberra. It is a series that allows different experimental musicians and artists from Canberra and surrounding regions to share their work with the public. The most recent of the series (June 15) included electronic music (synthesised, built, prerecorded..the whole kit and kaboodle!), combined with acoustic instruments (both traditional, and not so traditional). My brand new piece, Colourless Green Ideas Sleep Furiously, was premiered in this concert by my friends in the Experimental Music Studio (and me).
EMS visit Macquarie University
May 27, 2016 Chloë J. Hobbs Leave a comment
On Wednesday (May 25), the Experimental Music Studio jumped in a van and travelled to Macquarie University in Sydney. We attended a seminar where our very own Dr Alec Hunter was the keynote speaker and he gave a presentation on free improvisation and musical anarch y. Our colleague, Marcello Messina, who is currently based in Sydney, also gave a presentation where he talked about the challenges facing composers who embark on practise-based research projects. The EMS also performed at the seminar, playing pieces by EMS members Alec Hunter, Ben Drury, and myself, as well as a free-improvised set.
Ensemble Offspring

The Sydney-based experimental music ensemble, Ensemble Offspring, are ensemble in residence at the ANU this year, and I was lucky enough to be able to compose a brand new piece for them. My piece, Spectrum (for clarinet, cello, and percussion), was premiered in a concert on 20 May 2016. Stay tuned for a recording!
Ensemble Offspring working with the New Music Ensemble
Collected Resonances, held at the Ainslie Arts Centre in Canberra, is a concert series curated by students from the ANU. Each series features different groups of experimental musicians and visual artists from Canberra and further afield. On May 18, the New Music Ensemble (Ellen Falconer, Malcolm Newland, and Helena Popovic, and directed by myself) performed an amazing set that featured music by Luciano Berio, Johanna Beyer, and Jo Kondo; free-improvisation; and a video projection.
Canberra International Music Festival
On May 6, the Experimental Music Studio participated in the Canberra International Music Festival. We performed a set in Rainforest Gully at the Botanic Gardens in Canberra. The ensemble was dispersed all over the rainforest, creating a natural surround-sound experience.

You Are Here 2016
May 2, 2016 Chloë J. Hobbs Leave a comment
You Are Here is a festival that celebrates local experimental artists and the Canberran underground creative culture as a whole. Over the span of a week, various artists present their work in non-traditional venues and city spaces around town.

During the festival, the EMS performed at Everything at Once and All Together, in Varity Lane, Civic (15 April). Inspired by John Cage’s, Musicircus, it featured performances, music, and installations from over 30 artists, including us. Our set featured video projections accompanied by spoken word, synthesisers, acoustic and electric instruments, as well as toy instruments.

On 16 April, the EMS jumped over to O’Connor to perform in somebody’s home as a part of Let’s Stay In Tonight. For our set, At Home, we performed in the kitchen and living room (simultaneously), making music with an assortment of household objects.

A new electronic work of mine, Just One Sentence, was also premiered at the festival (17 April) as a part of Pieces For Cars, Tunnel, and Hexagonal Vents (this event was the brainchild of friend and colleague, Ben Drury). The audience experienced the compositions from above (heard through hexagonal air vents), as the electronic pieces were played from car stereos in the tunnel beneath them.
Prior to the festival, Alec Hunter, Ben Drury, and myself were interviewed by Evana Ho from ArtSound FM about our involvement in the festival. Check out the interview here: http://evanaho.com/2016/04/10/anything-could-happen/
The Prepared Piano Ensemble
On 24 March, th e newly formed ANU Prepared Piano Ensemble performed a set on (or should I say, ‘in’) the grand piano installation in the unique Nishi Grand Stair (Canberra). We explored interesting sounds and complex textures by collectively playing both the inside and outside of the piano. Aside from playing the keys, the inside of the piano was struck with various sticks and mallets, bowed (using rosined ribbon), plucked, and prepared with various objects including, but not limited to, cymbals, glass bottles, stones, bolts, and beads.

Nature Forms
Composer and WAAPA lecturer, Lindsay Vickery, visited and worked with the Experimental Music Studio from 4-5 March. Vickery’s works explore the use of field recordings as a structural resource, new forms of notation (including the use of an iPad scrolling score app, designed by himself and his colleagues), and performance through the synthesis of instruments, electronics, and video. On 5 March, the EMS performed, alongside Vickery, a concert of his works. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/10410 | {"url": "https://chloecomposes.com/author/chloecomposes/page/2/", "partition":

Death is one of the most enigmatic phenomena in existence, especially from a philosophical point of view. It represents ‘not being’ and ‘nothing’, two concepts that are extremely difficult for human beings to assimilate. For this reason, it’s really common for us to deny death and assume that there’s life afterward.
One curious fact about death is that there are actually three types. The first is brain death. This occurs when the brain stops working, but other organs continue to function. The second is clinical death. This is determined when the heart stops beating. The third is biological death. It occurs when the previous two are completed.
For science, all physical and mental activity of an individual ceases when biological death occurs. However, many religions and other belief systems believe that death, as such, doesn’t exist. They think it’s a moment of transition toward other forms of existence or life.
“Death is something we should not fear because, while we are, death isn’t, and when death is, we aren’t.”
-Antonio Machado-
There are three types. Brain death, clinical death, and biological death.
Although it may be surprising, establishing whether a person is dead or not isn’t that easy. In fact, a couple of centuries ago there was a place called the Hospital for the Dead. There the corpses were deposited for some time, in case they came back to life. This was more common than you might think. In fact, they were only considered to be completely dead when they began to decompose.
These cases of ‘resurrection’ aren’t only a thing of the past, far from it, in fact. There have been several recent cases of people who were apparently dead, but then suddenly ‘woke up’. One of the most famous was Peng Xiuhua, a centenarian woman from China.
Her family noticed that she suddenly went completely rigid. As the woman was ill and at her age, it was expected that she could die at any moment, her relatives left her for dead. However, when she was in her coffin, she ‘woke up’ and was surprised by the large number of people in her house. It’s not the only case of this type but is one of the best-known. Actually, she was never dead. As far as we know, of course.
What happens to the body at the point of death?
Another aspect that arouses curiosity is what happens to the body when someone dies. In addition to the inactivation of biological functions, three hours after they die, their body enters a process of increased rigidity. This disappears within 36 hours.
Also, at the point of death, a process begins called autolysis. It consists of the self-destruction of the cells of the body. As it progresses, the body begins to release a series of gases. This leads to swelling of the body. The swelling peaks about four days afterward.
After death, the organism literally devours itself. The body is full of microorganisms that are, in general, favorable while we’re alive. However, once we die, these microorganisms begin to eat away at our bodies from the inside. This is how decomposition occurs.
According to science, we all eventually die from the same cause: lack of oxygen.
More curious facts
It’s estimated that around two people die every second. This gives a figure of about 55 million individuals who die each year, worldwide. However, the world population is so high and with the growing problem of available land, many cities don’t even have a cemetery. Materially, there’s no soil available to bury the dead. For this reason, increasingly more people are opting for cremation.
In short, we all die from the same cause: a lack of oxygen. That’s the ultimate reason, in all cases. However, if we stick to the statistics, the main causes are heart problems, followed by strokes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, respiratory infections, and cancer.
It’s so difficult for human beings to accept the end of life that many scientific projects are already underway to try and defeat death. One such company is Calico, also called the immortality project. For now, its goal is to extend individuals’ life expectancy between five and ten years, in good health. However, in the long term, they want to completely put a stop to death altogether. What a strange idea.

Jennifer Bourn is as Amazing as Jason Bourne
Not enough people got a chance to hear Jennifer Bourn speak at WordCamp Phoenix. Let's just start with that. When her video is live, trust me, I'll write another whole post about it. It's a message I've been talking about (in terms of repurposing content) for a long time. Only she did it way better – and with sparkles on her shirt. So there's that.
Don't believe me? Check this out.
The Trick is Repurposing Content
In her talk she spent a good amount of time walking the audience thru various ways of leveraging the content they'd already created in new ways. So the videos or photos or Word docs or emails you've already created can easily be repackaged into other mediums and delivered to other parts of your audience (or the same part who learn better in another medium).
Her focus was helping her audience generate easier and faster revenue.
I want to talk about one of the technical challenges associated with repurposing.
One of the challenges of repurposing comes in the form of PDFs.
Imagine you were creating an online course. And in this course, you want to leverage the content of your PDFs. You want to create a nice viewer on your WordPress page that shows off your material, but in this case, you also want to make sure that:
The file can't be downloaded (and passed around)
The file can't be printed (to a PDF that can be passed around)
In that case, you're going to want this neat trick.
I know some of you are going to say that the moment the file is online, someone can figure out how to pull it down and steal it. You're likely right. I'm just showing you how to solve the non-edge case where your member isn't also wanted by the NSA for hacking servers.
Google Drive or Box.Net
If you're like me, you haven't heard news from the Box.net world in a long time. DropBox took center stage and I almost forgot I had an account with them. Plus, these days there's Google Drive.
Both offer an ability to embed an iframe into your web page.
Both give you the code to do it.
Both give you an option to protect against downloads.
Both protect you from letting clients print the file (if you protect against downloads).
So you might think they're even. It's what I thought.
Which is why I was going to use my existing Google Drive account and move on.
Until I saw the result.
And honestly, after an hour or so of searching, I couldn't figure out how to get rid of the thumbnails.
On top of that, when I right-clicked on the file, I could open the page as an image. And then I could print from there.
So, all in all, I wasn't happy with Google Drive.
Why I chose Box.Net
I resurrected my old box.net account. Turns out they will give you a free account that stores 10 GB of files – which is a lot of PDFs, if you ask me.
Then, once you have an account, you simply upload a file (directly, or into a folder you create).
Then it's a quick matter of protecting it from downloads
and getting the embed code.
Clicking on that “Embed into your site” will give you some options for creating the iFrame code (including options for deciding how wide and long you want the iframe).
And the final result is pretty perfect
It can't be printed.
It can't be downloaded (by normal folks).
It doesn't have the preview.
It's a free solution. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/10413 | {"url": "https://chrislema.com/embedding-pdfs-on-wordpress/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain":

What a cunning stunt
Posted on 28th October 2009 1 Comment
[Dave Birch] I am, very literally, green with envy. I count myself as a reasonably good speaker, and I try to use narrative and historical examples to explain key principles. But nothing beats a good demo, and I saw an excellent one today, one that I wish I'd thought of!
At the Intellect conference on Identity & Information in London today, Edgar Whitely from the LSE gave a terrific presentation. He was pointing out that the principle of data minimisation in identity systems is important, but he did it in a particularly arresting way.
Here's what he did.
He showed this recent newspaper photograph of the British Home Secretary, Alan Johnson, showing off his new ID card and holding it up to the camera. This version comes from The Guardian….

As you can see in the picture, for reasons that will be not fully explained in a moment, the UK ID card has the holder's full name, date of birth and place of birth on it. These three data points are sufficient to uniquely identify the overwhelming majority of the population. So Edgar went to the Identity & Passport Service birth certificate ordering service and put in the details from the Home Secretary's card. He then paid his £10 and… with a suitably theatrical flourish, Edgar produced the copy of the Home Secretary's birth certificate that he had been sent in the post. Note that Edgar hadn't done anything wrong. As James Hall, the head of IPS who was on the same panel, pointed out, in the UK anyone can order a copy of anyone's birth certificate. He said that if you are a celebrity then hundreds of people will order copies of your birth certificate every year, which had never occurred to me. I'm sure James is right, but it does seem a little odd that people who want to commit identity theft will simply have to look at their mark's ID card to get started.
Edgar hadn't used the birth certificate to open a bank account or get a driving licence or anything, he was just making the point that if we don't adopt the right principles (eg, data minimisation) for identity systems, then we run the risk of making identity theft worse. It was a great presentation and a super stunt. Well done.
Anyone familiar with my deranged rantings about psychic ID (ie, virtually nobody) will be familiar with the general point: a characteristic of a 21st-century ID scheme is that it should only give up information necessary to enable a transactions, nothing more or less. So, if you are authorised to ask my ID card whether I am over 18 or not, that's all it should tell you. Not my name, not my address, not my age or date of birth. Just whether I am over 18 or not and that's it.
The current ID card scheme does not have this key characteristic, not for any functional reason but because the ID card and passport were jumbled up for a political purpose — the purpose being, as far as I know, to make it harder for an incoming administration to scrap the scheme — that constrains the design and implementation. Since the government wants the ID card to be used as a travel document within in the EU, it has to have certain human-readable information on it. That's why it gives away the key data points that make it tempting for criminals to kick-start their identity theft antics.
Actually, since there are no readers, criminals won't bother doing this. They will just make bogus ID cards. I firmly predict a booming market in fake ID cards just as soon as the real ones hit the streets. Oh, wait…
The fake cards ranged from provisional and regular driving licences to UK, German and other European ID cards, and contained holograms and chips.
[From Cheshire couple jailed for selling fake ID cards – Chester Chronicle ]
This means that people were manufacturing fake UK ID cards even before the real UK ID cards were actually issued. You can see the criminal logic behind this: people are vaguely aware of ID cards, but don't know what they look like, so if you're 20 and you want to get into an over-21 nightclub, a fake ID card is an obvious purchase. How much will people pay for them?
Well, here's a useful data point, which comes from the terrific scandal surrounding Baroness Scotland, Britain's Attorney General, who was discovered to have been employing an illegal immigrant.
Ms Tapui revealed that the out-of-date forged visa stamp in her passport was acquired by a Russian acquaintance for a £180 fee. She obtained the stamp after twice being refused a visa by the Home Office, which nonetheless took no action to deport her.
[From I didn't show Baroness Scotland any passport, says housekeeper in sensational new allegations | Mail Online ]
So for spreadsheet purposes, we can assume that a bent ID card that has "permission to work" or whatever written on the back is worth a couple of hundred quid. As long as employer makes a photocopy of it, they are in the clear, so everyone is happy.
There has to be a better way. For a start, the ID card has a contactless interface, so it would be trivial to write an application for phones with an NFC interface (eg, Nokia 6212s) that would read the card, go online to the (currently non-existent) web interface to IPS, check that the card is valid, and then display the relevant details from the chip on the phone screen. Since all employers, and all bouncers, need to have a mobile phone anyway, they might as well get one with an IPS application on it that validates cards.

I generally support this line of thinking (i.e. minimal disclosure) but the problem is that you lack economic clout to make the argument to get such a scheme adopted widely — especially in digital networked systems (i.e. social web sites or applications).
It may take government intervention to force such a system, but as it turns out — a card that provides minimum disclosure in practice is often less useful than you might hope — and the bearer is often requested (or demanded) to provide additional information — name, provenance, email address, and so on — to receive basic levels of service.
It has less to do with identity and authentication than it does the recognition of economic value of knowing who you are and how to contact you after you’re gone. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/10414

Dr. Lindsey Apple
Many who live in the state of Kentucky appreciate its rich history, but few spend their lives devoted to the discovery and sharing of that history. Dr. Lindsey Apple is approaching his thirtieth year of fostering interest in history, both of Kentucky and beyond, at Georgetown College.
Though Apple was trained as a French Revolution and Napoleonic scholar and continues to teach and research in that field, he has developed a zeal for gender and family studies, with his focus centered on the Henry Clay family in Kentucky. Through access to Clay family papers, Apple developed his book Cautious Rebel: A Biography of Susan Clay Sawitzky, one of his many publications on aspects of the Clay family and Kentucky history.
Apple’s scholarly focus inspires and aids his students’ achievements. Apple assisted one student in researching and writing the text for a set of new historical markers along a walking trail in the Georgetown area. He is currently helping another student in a research project to develop a database on the Underground Railroad and the routes that runaway slaves might have taken through this state. The college has recognized Apple’s extraordinary involvement in creative teaching by awarding him the college’s premiere recognition for classroom achievement, the Cawthorne Award for Excellence in Teaching.
“I like to see students get excited about what they are doing,” said Apple.
Over the past thirty years, Apple has been affecting students the way he once was affected by his own Georgetown College professors. He values the rapport he builds with students, which has become his favorite aspect of teaching.
Apple continually strives to learn more that he can share with students and peers, and he has plans for future publications. “I want to stay current in my discipline. I want to continue to have a sense of what is important for students to experience in the classroom.”

Cause Rebel: A Biography of Susan Clay Sawitzky by Lindsey Apple
“Cautious Rebel, based upon extensive research in the Susan Clay Sawitzky papers as well as other Clay family papers, will be a significant contribution to historical and literary scholarship and should have an appeal to historians and specialists in American literature—especially those with an interest in poetry.” —Nancy Forderhase, Eastern Kentucky University
Susan Clay Sawitzky (1897-1981) was born into a traditional Kentucky family dominated by the lingering renown of its patriarch and Susan’s great-grandfather, Henry Clay. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/10418 | {"url": "https://clayfamilysociety.net/dr-lindsey-apple-clay-author/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "clayfamilysociety.net", "date_download": "2023-03-20T08:56:48Z", "digest": "sha1:K5RIGN6A73Q26GYAVPAHVQ5YFCU4VZSG"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 2629, 2629.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 2629, 6683.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 2629, 12.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 2629, 171.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 2629, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 2629, 263.0]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 2629, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 2629, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 2629, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 2629, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 2629, 0.39665971]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 2629, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 2629, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 2629, 0.05442804]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 2629, 0.05442804]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 2629, 0.05442804]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 2629, 0.03874539]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 2629, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 2629, 0.02075646]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 2629, 0.03920664]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 2629, 0.02352399]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 2629, 0.01043841]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 2629, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 2629, 0.11899791]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 2629, 0.5215311]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 2629, 5.18660287]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 2629, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 2629, 4.94041287]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 2629, 418.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 18, 0.0], [18, 304, 1.0], [304, 739, 1.0], [739, 1346, 1.0], [1346, 1422, 1.0], [1422, 1652, 1.0], [1652, 1921, 1.0], [1921, 1972, 0.0], [1972, 2031, 0.0], [2031, 2096, 0.0], [2096, 2460, 0.0], [2460, 2629, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 18, 0.0], [18, 304, 0.0], [304, 739, 0.0], [739, 1346, 0.0], [1346, 1422, 0.0], [1422, 1652, 0.0], [1652, 1921, 0.0], [1921, 1972, 0.0], [1972, 2031, 0.0], [2031, 2096, 0.0], [2096, 2460, 0.0], [2460, 2629, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 18, 3.0], [18, 304, 47.0], [304, 739, 73.0], [739, 1346, 91.0], [1346, 1422, 14.0], [1422, 1652, 38.0], [1652, 1921, 48.0], [1921, 1972, 8.0], [1972, 2031, 9.0], [2031, 2096, 11.0], [2096, 2460, 52.0], [2460, 2629, 24.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 18, 0.0], [18, 304, 0.0], [304, 739, 0.0], [739, 1346, 0.0], [1346, 1422, 0.0], [1422, 1652, 0.0], [1652, 1921, 0.0], [1921, 1972, 0.0], [1972, 2031, 0.07272727], [2031, 2096, 0.0], [2096, 2460, 0.0], [2460, 2629, 0.04907975]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 18, 0.0], [18, 304, 0.0], [304, 739, 0.0], [739, 1346, 0.0], [1346, 1422, 0.0], [1422, 1652, 0.0], [1652, 1921, 0.0], [1921, 1972, 0.0], [1972, 2031, 0.0], [2031, 2096, 0.0], [2096, 2460, 0.0], [2460, 2629, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 18, 0.16666667], [18, 304, 0.02797203], [304, 739, 0.04597701], [739, 1346, 0.01976936], [1346, 1422, 0.02631579], [1422, 1652, 0.02173913], [1652, 1921, 0.01115242], [1921, 1972, 0.09803922], [1972, 2031, 0.11864407], [2031, 2096, 0.13846154], [2096, 2460, 0.03296703], [2460, 2629, 0.04142012]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 2629, 0.09426159]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 2629, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 2629, 0.28731143]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 2629, -92.27131433]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 2629, 57.98108777]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 2629, -29.36478322]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 2629, 18.0]]} |
Choice of Entity for Nonpro...
Choice of Entity for Nonprofits and Obtaining Tax Exempt Status - Part 2
Counseling a client about choice of entity for a nonprofit or charitable enterprise is a multilayered process.
First, clients need to understand that not all nonprofits are charities. Even if the enterprise is nonprofit and charitable in nature that does not necessarily mean the enterprise is eligible for tax-exempt status. Once these distinctions are made, attorneys need to counsel clients about the subtle advantages and disadvantages of four major types of entities, all formed under state law.
Second, there is the distinct issue of how that entity is classified for federal tax purposes. Each classification comes with its own subtle tradeoffs.
This program provides a practical guide to non-profit choice of entity and obtaining tax-exempt status.
Considerations involving joint ventures between for-profit and non-profit entities
Practical Process of obtaining tax-exempt status – eligibility, timelines, and costs
Counseling clients about ongoing compliance reporting

Searching for top squarks with CMS data
https://cms.cern/news/searching-top-squarks-cms-data
What is the Universe made of? Searching for the answer to this question has been the main quest of particle physicists. Part of the answer is provided by the highly-successful Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, whose last achievement is the discovery of the Higgs boson with a mass of about 125 GeV. The model is however unable to explain a number of observations such as the mass of neutrinos and the existence of dark matter (DM). Also, if SM would be the ultimate theory of our universe, the mass of the Higgs boson could not be finite!
Supersymmetry (SUSY) is one of the theories that provide answers to some of these open questions, by introducing a superpartner to every particle in SM. The mass of the Higgs boson can stay finite because these new particles can also interact with the Higgs boson. Here, the superpartner of the top quark, stop, plays a special role because of its large coupling to the Higgs boson. In addition, SUSY predicts the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) to be neutral and weakly interacting, that cannot decay to the particles we know, meaning that it cannot be detected. Therefore it is a viable candidate for DM.
If SUSY is realized at the TeV (trillion electron-Volt) scale, supersymmetric particles could be produced in proton collisions at the LHC. The DM particles do not interact in the CMS detector and they leave a signature of high missing transverse energy, evaluated by imposing that the total energy is conserved.
Figure 1: Illustration of proton-proton collisions producing a top squark pair decaying in a single-lepton final state (left) and a W boson with additional jets, as an example of the SM background (right).
CMS has recently performed a search for stops in the compressed scenario, a very challenging scenario where the mass difference between the stop and the LSP, Δm, is smaller than the mass of the W boson. The left diagram of Fig. 1 shows the signature of the SUSY signal that we are discussing here: two stops would be produced and decay into one charged lepton (an electron or a muon), several jets, and two neutralinos plus one neutrino (leading to large missing transverse energy in the event). Certain SM processes, such as the one illustrated in the right diagram of Fig. 1, lead to similar event topologies and constitute a “background” that needs to be carefully quantified. The question that we address through the data analysis is: “Is the number of observed events accounted for by the expected (SM) background, or are we seeing an excess of events due to a contribution from SUSY particle decays?”. Let’s now go over our strategy!
This scenario is particularly challenging because of the limited phase space and the kinematic similarities between SM and signal. To tackle this challenge, this analysis procedure separates the signal and background contributions by feeding their most important differences into a Machine Learning algorithm called Boosted Decision Trees (BDTs). We train a BDT for each Δm region, to optimize the efficiency of the search, given that the kinematics of the signal depends on Δm. This novel strategy allows us to probe kinematically difficult regions and improves the sensitivity compared to other similar SUSY searches.
Figure 2: Exclusion limit for the four-body decay of the top squark (represented in Fig. 1) as a function of the stop mass and of Δm, for the data sample collected in 2016–2018. The color shading represents the observed limit on the cross section for a given stop and LSP mass hypotheses. The black and the red lines represent the observed and expected limits, respectively: the area to their left is excluded.
The final result of the search is shown in Fig. 2. The red lines represent how sensitive the search is expected to be, for different stop and LSP mass hypotheses. If the SUSY signal is in the areas to the right of the red lines, we should not be able to see it, given the predominance of SM events. The black lines represent the result of the analysis. They do not coincide with the red lines because the measurements and predictions have uncertainties, but we can say that the data is in agreement with the SM prediction for most of the probed Δm range. The only exception is seen at the lowest Δm values (close to 10 GeV), where the data exceeds the expected SM background; the significance of the excess is approximately 2.5 standard deviations, meaning that we expect to see such a result with a probability of 1/160 even in the absence of SUSY.
This new strategy of using BDTs optimized for the different Δm regions made us sensitive to more challenging signal types that would have been missed by the previously published analysis. With this recent analysis, we have reduced the allowed parameter space and will target what is left in the next data-taking period of the LHC with more data giving us more precision.

Thanks for Little Things, too
← All Blog Posts
It’s cute to listen to kids pray. They thank God for all the little things. “Thank you, God, for my stuffed animals. Thank you, God, for Legos. Thank you, God, for pizza. Not so much for broccoli.”
There’s something beautiful about saying thanks for little things, not just the big things. In fact, in a year when a lot of the big things we love at Thanksgiving are canceled or different, it’s good to remember the little things God gives us, too.
The little things are good. They come from God. Let’s be sure to remember them in our Thanksgiving, too. “Give thanks in all circumstances” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
How would you finish this prayer? Thank you, God, for ___________________________.

Riley, Lanning, DeBoer new Pac-12 coaches in spotlight
Associated PressJul 31, 2022, 12:43 AM EDT
LOS ANGELES – Coaching changes in the Pac-12 are a given, but it is rare when it happens to three of the most recognizable programs in the conference.
Such is the case with Southern California, Oregon, and Washington, which have new coaches on the sideline this season. The schools have won five of the last six conference titles.
“It’s interesting and unique. That’s what makes it fun,” Washington offensive lineman Jaxson Kirkland said during the conference’s media day on Friday. “Now we have a whole bunch of different teams and schemes coming around. It will be cool to see everyone getting after each other.”
USC made waves last December when it convinced Lincoln Riley to leave Oklahoma. After Mario Cristobal left Oregon for Miami, the Ducks tabbed Dan Lanning, the defensive coordinator at Georgia.
The most significant upheaval has been at Washington, where Kalen DeBoer is the Huskies’ third coach in four seasons. DeBoer was at Fresno State.
The coaching changes haven’t changed preseason expectations. The media picked Utah to defend its conference title, with Oregon second, USC third and Washington sixth.
Riley faces the most pressure to produce immediately after leading the Sooners to a 55-10 record in five seasons and two appearances in the College Football Playoff. Pressure is routine for Riley, who was 33 when he succeeded Bob Stoops at Oklahoma.
USC was picked by the media to win the Pac-12 South last year, but went 4-8 and fired Clay Helton two games into the season.
“If there’s no pressure, then you probably don’t have the same opportunities others do. You’ve got to see the opportunity. If you do it well, anything is possible,” Riley said. “This is one of those programs and one of those cities. If you do it well, the sky’s the limit.
“You don’t come to USC or Los Angeles to do things small.”
With a huge assist from the transfer portal, Riley was able to rebuild the Trojans for a conference title run this season. Quarterback Caleb Williams also came from Oklahoma, while running back Travis Dye transferred from Oregon and Biletnikoff Award-winning wide receiver Jordan Addison from Pittsburgh.
Williams said he hadn’t noticed much change since Riley moved to the West Coast.
“I think he might wear some flip-flops more often, but other than that, he hasn’t really changed much. He stays him, and that’s what you love about coach,” Williams said.
This is the first head coaching job for Lanning, who was on Georgia’s staff the last four seasons. He admitted that it has been a bit of a whirlwind getting up to speed.
“Certainly, a lot of pieces go into being a head coach. You wear a lot of hats,” he said. “It’s fun piecing together the talent. It’s also about bringing in coaches that are about relationships and development.”
The Ducks, who were 10-4 last season, open against defending national champion Georgia in Atlanta on Sept. 3. They return most of their front seven on defense, including linebacker Noah Sewell, while adding former Auburn quarterback Bo Nix.
“Certainly excited about going back and seeing some familiar faces going there, getting to compete against a mentor and a friend in Kirby Smart,” Lanning said. “I know our players are certainly excited to be on a national stage early and get to play an elite opponent in Georgia. That being said, we’re really focused on right now.”
Washington is DeBoer’s third head coaching job. He was at Sioux Falls for five seasons (2005-09) and won four NAIA national titles before coaching at Fresno State the last two seasons.
DeBoer is well aware of Washington’s upheaval since its last Pac-12 title in 2018 and is trying to make sure the transition to his staff tries to be as seamless as possible. The Huskies were 4-8 last season, but return some talent, along with potential competition at quarterback between Dylan Morris, Sam Huard, and Indiana transfer Michael Penix Jr.
“You got some guys that have had multiple position coaches. If there’s anything that’s been hard, it’s just really understanding that these guys have been through a lot,” DeBoer said. “Simplifying it down, just trying to focus on winning that day is what we are trying to do, worry about the things we can control and make a name for the 2022 team.” | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/10423 | {"url":

BCIT opens new Wood Waste to Energy Centre
December 16, 2022 December 7, 2022 by Ben Hill
BCIT has opened a new $1.5 million Wood Waste to Energy Centre (WWEC) at its Burnaby Campus which uses a biomass boiler to recycle wood waste into clean energy.
Every year, the Centre will use 250 tons of wood cut-offs and sawdust from Carpentry and Joinery programs to heat buildings at the Burnaby Campus. The project was supported with $340,000 from British Columbia’s Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy Carbon Neutral Capital Program (CNCP) and brings to life elements of the province’s Clean BC plan. The project was also supported by $200,000 from the BC Bioenergy Network
The boiler which currently heats buildings NE2 and NE4 saves 1% of BCIT’s total emissions, equivalent to 75 tCO2e GHG. However, the system could be expanded in the future to save up to 240 tCO2e Greenhouse Gas annually, which equates to 3% of BCIT’s total emissions. The project will also reduce transportation emissions because the wood waste will no longer need to be trucked away from campus for disposal.
“This an exciting project,” said Danica Djurkovic, BCIT Vice President, Campus Planning and Facilities, “because it delivers significant GHG reductions while creating a more sustainable learning environment for students in our trades programs. We were delighted to work with the School of Construction and the Environment to develop this system which we believe could be adopted to use on a much larger scale in industries that produce wood waste. We will continue to prioritize reducing the Institute’s carbon footprint through future projects like the electrification of the main heating plant at the Burnaby Campus and designing new buildings that meet net zero emissions standards.”

The Centre has three main elements:
The system starts with clean, kiln-dried lumber off-cuts, which are sent to a chipper and cut into inch-long chips. These are stored in a silo and fed into the biomass boiler by an auger.
The water in the boiler is heated by burning the wood chips and then piped to heat the adjacent buildings (NE2 and NE4). Fan unit heaters blow air over hot water coils to deliver warm air to the Carpentry and Joinery shop spaces.
The exhaust from the boiler system is run through a multi-stage filter to ensure that it meets strict emissions regulations from Metro Vancouver.
A partnership project
The project is a result of a close partnership between the BCIT Campus Planning and Facilities Department and the BCIT School of Construction and the Environment. Students played an important role in the project by building the timber structure for the roof of the boiler house, fabricating and erecting the steel structure for the chipper enclosure, improving the chipper metal hopper, completing the air dispersion modelling required for the permitting, completing a noise control study, and much more.
“The low-carbon heating system serves as a great example of a living lab. Trades and technology students were involved in the planning, design and construction of the facility.”
Particularly proud of the student involvement in the project, Wayne Hand, Dean, BCIT School of Construction and the Environment, noted that, “the low-carbon heating system serves as a great example of a living lab. Trades and technology students were involved in the planning, design, and construction of the facility. Now that the facility is operational, BCIT students get to visit the site on a regular basis to learn about the maintenance and operation of a biomass-driven pressure vessel. This is the final element of a series of clean tech projects that reduced the School of Construction and Environment GHG emissions by more than 75% in the buildings where we teach Welding, Piping, Carpentry and Joinery.”
Climate action and adaptation remain at the forefront of the Institute’s academic and operational plans. Projects like this Centre show BCIT’s commitment in addressing the sustainability challenges we face here on campus, across BC, and around the world.
“Once again, BCIT is leading the way by actioning new ways to tackle the climate crisis,” said local Burnaby-North MLA, Janet Routledge, in a celebratory message to the BCIT community. “Every day you demonstrate your commitment to saving our planet. BCIT sets a standard that inspires us all and gives us hope at a time when it is desperately needed. Equally important, BCIT is training the next generation of environmental experts who will have the skills to meet existential challenges on behalf of us all. Congratulations to everyone involved in this wonderful initiative!”
This facility is a testament to what is possible through collaboration to build the necessary infrastructure to propel our journey towards a cleaner, greener province, and a sustainable future.

Translating Access

I want to help translating LibreOffice to Persian, but I don't have access. I can only suggest, which no person is available to accept them. There are near 200 suggestion. a lot ot them can be acceptable with some small fixes.
This is my Welate account: https://translations.documentfoundation.org/user/mskf1383/Thanks!
hossein March 3, 2022, 5:59am #2
All the suggestions will be considered, and will be merged after a review from me and other reviewers.
I have reviewed, fixed and merged all of your suggestions, so kindly keep translating! Thank you
Btw, there are some issues with many of the translations, thus we can not directly accept them. For example, some translations are not exact, some ignore special characters and markups, some don't use ZWNJ, and these issues cause problems.
Meanwhile, you can find more information about localization and other things related to Persian language for LibreOffice here:

The Weeknd’s 10 Best Songs
From "I Feel It Coming" to "Starboy," we're revisiting Abel Tesfaye's greatest tracks ever

This article originally ran in 2022 and has been updated.
As the story goes, Abel Tesfaye didn’t like his name, so he went out and changed it. After learning of a Canadian rock band of the same name, he altered the spelling, becoming The Weeknd.
Now, the artist formerly known as Abel is one of the most famous artists in the world, a mixtape dropper turned bona fide hitmaker. From the Canadian live music scene to high-profile collabs, Oscar nominations, and an eventual tussle with the Recording Academy, The Weeknd seems determined to explore R&B and pop music on his terms.
In celebration of his birthday on February 16th, we’ve rounded up ten of The Weeknd’s best songs so far. Check out the list below, and scroll to the end for a playlist of all 10 tracks.
10. “Call Out My Name”
Before it was the source of a TikTok sound, “Call Out My Name” was better known as a melancholic exploration of a broken romance. After a few high-profile relationships, the song allowed The Weeknd to explore the demise in his own words, even sampling his own Oscar-nominated track “Earned It” for the beat. Abel broke down crying while performing the song at Coachella in 2018 — it seems like the sadness woven into these lyrics isn’t just for show. — Mary Siroky
09. “Wicked Games”
The Weeknd’s debut single was a perfect introduction to the then-anonymous singer: sultry, soaring, and undeniably wicked. “Wicked Games” was not only the blueprint for the songs that catapulted his career to stardom (see: “Earned It”), but also for the hazy, provocative R&B that dominated the 2010s. The Weeknd sounds young and hungry on “Wicked Games,” exhibiting his powerful tenor while flexing his bravado in a seductive and passionate way. Even over a decade later, “Wicked Games” shows you exactly where The Weeknd had been and exactly where he was headed. — Paolo Ragusa

CBS’s Blue Bloods Speaks Up in Support of Cops
Since the late May death of George Floyd and the subsequent and near nationwide calls to “defund the police,” television and media networks from coast to coast have been pretty consistent in following the cues of a nation amid civil unrest.
Everywhere we have seen longtime favorites such as Law and Order (in just about any variety), Criminal Minds, and CSI drop viewers or begin to change their messaging to fit the narrative the left would have you believe. Even Paw Patrol, an animated kids’ show that paints the main characters as positive and helping law enforcement personnel, was nearly canceled.
And that’s precisely why it’s so nice to see that some shows aren’t changing just because someone is offended and tells life as it really is.
Enter the CBS crime drama, “Blue Bloods.”
If you haven’t seen the show, it’s about an Irish-Catholic family who lives in New York City and has a long tradition of being on the law and order side of the law. Frank Reagan, the head of the family, played by longtime favorite actor Tom Selleck, is also the New York Police Commissioner.
Friday aired the show’s season 11 premiere episode titled, “Triumph Over Trauma,” which does exceptionally well at describing the current atmosphere in several major cities around the US and relations with the police. In particular, is the far left idea that all police are somehow criminal in thought and heart and that as a result, they should be done away with or at the very least defunded.
In the episode, City Council Speaker Regina Thomas, played by the former queen of comedy Whoopi Goldberg, suggests what many throughout the nation have, that the entire department be “repurposed” and the city begin the process of defunding the police.
Now, in reality, NYC, under the never-reliable and socialistic leadership of Mayor Bill de Blasio, has already done this, cutting both budgeting and personnel from the city’s “finest.”
But let’s get back to fiction.
As one could imagine, the suggestion that Reagan’s office, as well as the thousands of men and women serving under him, be simply cast aside like so much garbage doesn’t go over well. And so, the argument on the issue continues throughout the episode.
One of the first happens in Reagan’s office, where the two butt heads in quite an aggressive manner.
It is Thomas’ opinion that Reagan’s entire outfit is filled with criminals, which she rather bluntly states, and as such, the NYPD needs to be put “on trial.”
Reagan then says that if that’s going to be the case, then “everyone is entitled to a vigorous defense, even my people.” He then goes on to say, and quite truthfully, I might add, “Every single cop is being painted with the same brush. And when anyone in my rank and file conducts themselves in a way that is not worthy of the uniform, they get dealt with.”
From there, the conversation gets a little heated, with Reagan finally saying that Thomas needs “to get your head out of you’re a–,” but he cuts himself off and apologizes. But not before pretty much saying what every right-minded person in the nation is saying.
Later the two argue again, this time in Thomas’s office. Here, the conversation is a little more docile and more on the lines of what the two can do together to accomplish compromise or at least peace for the moment.
Reagan acknowledges that the city, and in reality, the nation, “is divided into two camps who are just shouting past each other.” Neither is listening to the other; they just want to make sure they are heard.
As usual, the left, portrayed by Thomas, insists that Reagan needs to get his “guys to deescalate.” However, Reagan and those in charge of law enforcement already have. When Thomas finds this out, she suggests letting “people of color” know that.
Reagan replies, “I don’t think they’re gonna listen to me.” And that’s the kicker, isn’t it?
The left hasn’t realized that he’d already tried. But no one is listening. They are too wrapped up in screaming ever louder that they can’t hear that some of their demands are being met – not that it would be good enough.
Law enforcement has shown that they are willing to make some changes; they are trying to root out the bad apples. But for the progressive left, who are just as racist as they claim these cops to be, they won’t be happy until there is no law enforcement and their cities are destroyed.
Too bad, it’ll be too late for them to crawling back. | 2023-14/0037/en_head.json.gz/10430 | {"url": "https://conservativebeaconpost.com/cbss-blue-bloods-speaks-up-in-support-of-cops/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "conservativebeaconpost.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:31:48Z", "digest": "sha1:VEFBDWSAOUTEJMQ4LVBLMV63TNZAGI6K"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 4450, 4450.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 4450, 5284.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 4450, 22.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 4450, 47.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 4450, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 4450, 236.0]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 4450, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 4450, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 4450, 1.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 4450, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 4450, 0.48839662]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 4450, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 4450, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 4450, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 4450, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 4450, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 4450, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 4450, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 4450, 0.01567749]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 4450, 0.00615901]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 4450, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 4450, 0.00843882]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 4450, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 4450, 0.14873418]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 4450, 0.53137004]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 4450, 4.57362356]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 4450, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 4450, 5.45742543]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 4450, 781.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 47, 0.0], [47, 288, 1.0], [288, 652, 1.0], [652, 794, 1.0], [794, 836, 1.0], [836, 1128, 1.0], [1128, 1523, 1.0], [1523, 1775, 1.0], [1775, 1960, 1.0], [1960, 1991, 1.0], [1991, 2243, 1.0], [2243, 2344, 1.0], [2344, 2503, 1.0], [2503, 2861, 1.0], [2861, 3124, 1.0], [3124, 3341, 1.0], [3341, 3550, 1.0], [3550, 3797, 1.0], [3797, 3890, 1.0], [3890, 4112, 1.0], [4112, 4397, 1.0], [4397, 4450, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 47, 0.0], [47, 288, 0.0], [288, 652, 0.0], [652, 794, 0.0], [794, 836, 0.0], [836, 1128, 0.0], [1128, 1523, 0.0], [1523, 1775, 0.0], [1775, 1960, 0.0], [1960, 1991, 0.0], [1991, 2243, 0.0], [2243, 2344, 0.0], [2344, 2503, 0.0], [2503, 2861, 0.0], [2861, 3124, 0.0], [3124, 3341, 0.0], [3341, 3550, 0.0], [3550, 3797, 0.0], [3797, 3890, 0.0], [3890, 4112, 0.0], [4112, 4397, 0.0], [4397, 4450, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 47, 9.0], [47, 288, 41.0], [288, 652, 60.0], [652, 794, 26.0], [794, 836, 7.0], [836, 1128, 54.0], [1128, 1523, 67.0], [1523, 1775, 40.0], [1775, 1960, 28.0], [1960, 1991, 6.0], [1991, 2243, 44.0], [2243, 2344, 18.0], [2344, 2503, 28.0], [2503, 2861, 68.0], [2861, 3124, 45.0], [3124, 3341, 40.0], [3341, 3550, 37.0], [3550, 3797, 41.0], [3797, 3890, 16.0], [3890, 4112, 42.0], [4112, 4397, 53.0], [4397, 4450, 11.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 47, 0.0], [47, 288, 0.0], [288, 652, 0.0], [652, 794, 0.0], [794, 836, 0.0], [836, 1128, 0.0], [1128, 1523, 0.00515464], [1523, 1775, 0.0], [1775, 1960, 0.0], [1960, 1991, 0.0], [1991, 2243, 0.0], [2243, 2344, 0.0], [2344, 2503, 0.0], [2503, 2861, 0.0], [2861, 3124, 0.0], [3124, 3341, 0.0], [3341, 3550, 0.0], [3550, 3797, 0.0], [3797, 3890, 0.0], [3890, 4112, 0.0], [4112, 4397, 0.0], [4397, 4450, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 47, 0.0], [47, 288, 0.0], [288, 652, 0.0], [652, 794, 0.0], [794, 836, 0.0], [836, 1128, 0.0], [1128, 1523, 0.0], [1523, 1775, 0.0], [1775, 1960, 0.0], [1960, 1991, 0.0], [1991, 2243, 0.0], [2243, 2344, 0.0], [2344, 2503, 0.0], [2503, 2861, 0.0], [2861, 3124, 0.0], [3124, 3341, 0.0], [3341, 3550, 0.0], [3550, 3797, 0.0], [3797, 3890, 0.0], [3890, 4112, 0.0], [4112, 4397, 0.0], [4397, 4450, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 47, 0.19148936], [47, 288, 0.01659751], [288, 652, 0.03021978], [652, 794, 0.00704225], [794, 836, 0.14285714], [836, 1128, 0.04794521], [1128, 1523, 0.01772152], [1523, 1775, 0.03174603], [1775, 1960, 0.03783784], [1960, 1991, 0.03225806], [1991, 2243, 0.01190476], [2243, 2344, 0.01980198], [2344, 2503, 0.04402516], [2503, 2861, 0.01396648], [2861, 3124, 0.01520913], [3124, 3341, 0.01382488], [3341, 3550, 0.00956938], [3550, 3797, 0.02834008], [3797, 3890, 0.03225806], [3890, 4112, 0.01351351], [4112, 4397, 0.00701754], [4397, 4450, 0.01886792]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 4450, 0.97301257]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 4450, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 4450, 0.29932028]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 4450, -104.77477717]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 4450, 216.6664838]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 4450, -250.87647471]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 4450, 36.0]]} |

Trump Team Reveals What REALLY Happened At Mar-A-Lago
There's an entire half of the Mar-a-Lago saga that Americans STILL don't have the slightest clue about.
Donald Trump and his family's side of the story.
Donald and his team KNOW that the unwarranted raid on Donald Trump's private residence was nothing more than a political witch hunt. There was no reason for the FBI to do what they did, nor did they have the right to.
Now, Donald Trump's lawyers are setting out to prove it.
In fact, even the information that the FBI has been "transparent" about has been extremely misleading.
Take the affidavit for the Mar-A-Lago search, for instance. Sure, the FBI released a copy to America, but it was incredibly censored.
Their argument is that it was censored to hide sensitive information.
Trump's lawyers say that they know it was censored in order to not incriminate themselves. Because it was ILLEGAL.
The current state of the affidavit contains several "misleading omissions," according to Trump's team. They're demanding a judge make the agency hand over an unredacted copy.
"The supposedly 'detailed' inventory provided little in the way of actual information or detail," Trump's lawyer wrote. "Instead, the 'detailed' inventory incorrectly labeled nearly every document seized as a 'U.S. Government Document.'"
"The affiant should have fully disclosed and discussed the total authority of a President to declassify materials and determine that materials are personal records under the Presidential Records Act, as well as the fact that presidents are accorded great deference when they have designated materials as either a Presidential record or a personal record," the Trump team's filing concluded.

What are Most Usual Milestones for a 4 Year Old?
There are many interesting stages that children will experience early in their lives. While some of these might represent personal triumphs, others can help parents and teachers track the overall developmental process of the child in question. There are actually numerous milestones that will occur at a very young age. Let us examine some of the most notable.
Performance Milestones
Children will begin to develop a host of new abilities that were previously unknown to them. Some of these are purely physical in nature. Examples include skipping rope, hopping on one foot, walking down a flight of stairs without adult assistance, and being able to dress themselves.
Others involve spatial and observational tasks. For example, most four-year-old children should be able to stack ten building blocks to form a tower, to draw basic shapes and to illustrate the representation of a person (even if only a stick figure).
These milestones are often used in conjunction with modern assessment and observational approaches such as those provided by Educater.co.uk. Thus, it is much easier to appreciate if a child might require a bit of assistance with a specific task.
Speech and Language Development
Children who are four years old will also begin to develop a more in-depth and expressive vocabulary. Here are some of the breakthroughs that tend to be exhibited at this age:
Using four or more words to make a sentence.
Recognising one or more colours by name.
Becoming extremely inquisitive.
Knowing at least one day of the week or being able to name at least one month.
He or she will develop a desire to tell stories.
Of course, note that some children will naturally progress faster than others.
Comprehension Milestones
Mental development is just as crucial at an early age. This is why parents and teachers will keep a close eye on specific behaviours. For example, children who are four years old will begin to posses a basic working knowledge of time. This understanding will often translate into environmental observations, as the child may appreciate that his or her actions will have an impact upon the outside world. Here are some other examples of what most children will begin to achieve by this age:
Recognising others are completely separate entities from themselves.
Appreciating the impact of his or her own thoughts.
Being able to follow rules (although not necessarily understanding the notion of right from wrong).
Once again, it is just as important to mention that some children may lag slightly behind while others could very well begin to perform actions associated with five-year-olds. All children are different and hit 'milestones' at different ages and times when they are ready to.
