Lifetime Achievement Awardee Jarvis Tyner remarks to the Better World Awards on December 11th, 2016
Introductory remarks from Zenaida Mendez
Jarvis Tyner's prepared remarks may be viewed here.
Thank you! Everybody, really. I'm a really humble dude, you know, I mean, all of this to do, it's very good for the heart, and it makes you want to rise to the occasion, and gives you a great confidence in yourself and in the people around you.
I appreciate all that was done to put this together, and I am greatly honored to receive the lifetime achievement award, and I'm really happy to share the platform with George Albro, and Nelini Stamp, and Vinie, and Amina, who's just terrific as usual, and both are just wonderful, wonderful examples of our cultural achievements as a people. And then the red microphone, as usual, very nice, and Cameron with this thing with the violin. I don't know what the hell he was doing over there, but it sounded like a sixteen-piece orchestra. Long live technology! But anyway.
I'm very happy to be here and thank you brothers and sisters, comrades, friends for coming out. I want to thank the New York Friends of the People's World for making this possible. I want to particularly thank Estevan, the organizer of the Party in NEw York, give him a hand. He has done Herculean work to make this possible, and there are a lot of people his age running around Wall St robbing people. You know, they call themselves stock brokers. But they stealing from us, y'all, that's what they doing, that's what they do, and doing all kinds of things. With his brain power and his creativity, he could do almost anything, but he chose to work for the Communist Party, he chose to help transform society into one of freedom and peace and justice for all and really, we need one hundred more Estevan's in this country to help make the transition to the better world.
I want to talk a little bit about the elections. Everything I wanted to say has actually been said before – but we'll pretend like it wasn't said – and said very well.
The first thing I want to say, though, is about the passing of Fidel Castro. Comrade Fidel occupies a special place in the hearts of we US Communists and all people who believe in independence and justice and freedom for all. And, he brought something special to our hemisphere. You know, when the fascists took over Chile, we said, "uh-oh, they're in our hemisphere and they're open and so forth, we have to defeat them. But also, when socialism was established in Cuba, that opened up all kinds of opportunities for us in our struggle here. And don't believe that the American people are against Fidel and socialism there. They keep flocking down there – why you think they make these airplanes – they're going down there to see, and they're going to be impressed with this multi-racial society where medical care is free. You know, Black people could not become teachers in Cuba. Cuba was a playground for the rich and the gangsters. You all know that. Batista, a Black man, was enforcing Jim Crow in Cuba. that was one of the first things they did was to eliminate the Jim Crow system in Cuba. And then a lot of people said, "well, I don't wanna go to school with these Black people – those who stayed – and we're gonna stay in our private schools. So you know what Fidel and them did? They publicized the private schools, and everybody had to go to school together. And he helped to mold this Cuban personality, this sense of democracy and justice for all. That's why in Angola, when the South Africans went in, the Cubans heard the call, and thousands went there to defend the Angolans and to defeat the South African Army and they did, that's the first defeat they ever had, and they did, and the blood of Cubans was spilled in the quest for freedom in Africa. It was a great thing. And that's why a country of 10 million people is loved by billions all over the world. The doctors they've sent around. And after 200 or so many attempts to assassinate Fidel, acts of terrorism down there and so forth. The CIA, they just didn't know what to do about this thing. It's 90 miles away. Everything they thought was horrible, or they think was horrible, or they wanted you to think was horrible was succeeding in its own way. 50 years of an embargo and they didn't bring them down. They made them suffer, but they didn't bring them down. They punished the Cuban people for choosing socialism, but socialism helped to make their lives better and stronger, and their socialist future is going to be even greater. So, long live Fidel Castro.
The actions of Obama around Cuba were a step forward, but I think that Donald Trump has promised his right-wing backers that he will bring back the restrictions and so forth on Cuba. So his election demands that we step up the fight to end the blockade, and establish normal relations with our socialist neighbors. History has absolved Fidel, he will never be forgotten.
Speaking of history, you read my little history in the magazine. If you haven't, you should read it, it's kinda nice. But, I want to say that life was not easy growing up in the ghettos of Philadelphia – Mill Creek is the ghetto I grew up in. There were no white people in that neighborhood except for some of the small merchants. And some were very nice and some were not so nice. But, I remember our landlord was an old man who ran a shoe store up the street. He was Jewish. Mr. Sanders was his name. And our rent was $30 a month, and my mother had a beauty shop there and that's what kept the family going. That and my father working in the factory. And I remember my mother told me to go tell Mr. Sanders that we can't pay the rent this month, we don't have it. And I expected him to get mad at me, but she said, "No, no, he's okay." So I go up there and I tell Mr. Sanders that we don't have the rent. He said, "Don't worry about it." He said, "and I hear your father, in the G.I. Bill learned to be a shoe maker. He said, "I'm about to give up this business. You think he'd be interested in taking over my shoe repair shop?" And my father was not, but I mean that was the wonderful kind of people we met in this little community you know – sticking together.
In the 1950s when our teachers were called up before the House Un-American Activities Committee, and my brother, who's here tonight, I will introduce him later, he had a teacher named Lou Ivans, and if I ever mention that name in the Philadelphia Party everybody would go, "Oh, I know Lou, I know" – Lou Ivans taught in the junior high school. His father was a Communist, he was a Communist, and his son was a Communist. So, McCoy was just very excited about Lou Ivans. He used to come home all the time talking about, "Mr. Ivans said this, Mr. Ivans said – " Mom would say, "Who is this Mr. Ivans?" and McCoy said, "No, he's my teacher down at the school and so forth. You gotta come meet him, and she did and she was very impressed. She saw that kind of democratic decency and honesty that Communists are supposed to have, I mean, all of 'em don't have it, but supposed to have, and she saw this sense of rejection of racism and so forth and so did my brother and it helped to give him a sense of achievement in school and confidence. Well, along comes the HUAC Committee and the teachers were all called up before it, and he was called up before it. And my mother – I heard her in the beauty shop where we grew up, say to her neighbors, "You know, there's something about this thing about Communism." She said, "Every time somebody try to do something good, that's what they call them." And she mentioned Paul Robeson – this is the common people understanding what the hell we were up against then – she mentioned Paul Robeson, she mentioned the Ivans, she mentioned this Black teacher named Goldie Watson who had led the fight to integrate the trolley drivers, they didn't allow any Blacks to drive in Philadelphia – and later she went with Rizzo, but – but she was a terrific lady, and these people were accused, so I sit there and I go, "Hm, that's interesting. And I had never met anybody. Go through high school. All my buddies and everything, saw what would happen at Little Rock and everything and then we got to out in the world and started working and saw that they didn't – I couldn't find a job. When I came out, it was 27-28% unemployment among Black high school kids – I couldn't find a job. I thought I was pretty talented, my teachers told me I was pretty good – couldn't find anything. Finally got a job for a dollar an hour, and I was happy to get that 'cause I didn't think I was ever gonna get a job before, and when I got hired, the boss came in and he said, "you know, we don't have any colored here now, but you the first." And he said, "I want to tell you, if you work hard, and you keep going you can have this as a lifetime job." But that's the way it was! That's the way it was.
So, later I got into the printing trades and I learned that and they were a little more generous, they made me a member of the union, I got to be a general worker, and I made a little bit more money. And, when I got to the union, right away there was all white workers in the place and they said – they were telling racist jokes, one guy came back from Florida and said, "You know, I went into this wonderful place, but they wouldn't let people in there." He thought it was a joke. And I said, "Larry, come on, man, that's terrible. That should be against the law." But anyway, they finally let me into the union and then we had a strike, and it was a militant strike of lithographers. We were well paid workers you might say, but not me, I wasn't that well paid, but they were, and the strike won, and I was the captain of the picket that night, and those white workers said to me, "Jarvis, would you be interested in being our shop steward." Now, I'm the lowest paid worker in there and they wanted me to be their shop steward. But then, six months, I was laid off from that job. That's the way it was.
In addition, I found some people picketing on the neighborhood, a shopping center against Woolworths, and they were – that's where the sit-ins were in Greensborough, and they were marching in front of Woolworths in a Black community and they were mostly whites and I thought, "That's not right, let me join in their picket line." And I walked with them for a while and they were very nice. And, we learned that, just talking I learned that it wasn't just – I think Betty Hutton owned Woolworths – it wasn't just her, it was the system that was involved in why we had this segregation and hatred and so on. So, I went back and told some of my friends, and one of them asked me, "Why do they hate us so much," and I said, "Well, it's really the system that do it," and they were like, "What are you talking about, man?" "The system, man, the system is no good." I thought I was pretty smart when I said that, but, I was just at the beginning.
Next thing I know I was working with – socializing with these young – well, I didn't know they were young Communists at the time – in the neighborhood. Eventually, one of them said, "You oughtta join the Party. And I thought, "What the hell is the Party?" Then I remember they gave me all this literature on the slave revolts and Aptheker – they said he was in the Communist Party, they gave me Kruschev reports which I couldn't understand a word of it, really, but it seemed like it was doing the right thing and it was coming from good people who had a relationship with me and so when they asked me I said, "I'm gonna take a while and think about it," and then I came back and I said, "Yes, I'd like to join the Party." And I thought I'd be in the Party a year, six months, learn a lot of stuff, and enhance my knowledge and all that, and I'd be real cool, and 55 years later I'm still here.
And, the FBI visited my mother back then, and my father he was not at home at the time, I'd come home from work and two FBI agents – an older white guy and a younger Black guy were talking to my mother and she's crying. And so, everybody in the Party had discussed it, we said when the FBI comes, they don't have a warrant or anything, just tell them to leave. Tell them to leave your house, "You don't have a right to do this to us, and we have done nothing wrong." And they turned to my mother and they said, "You see? Your son's going to be in great trouble now, you see? And they were slick, you know. And my mother was crying and everything, and I said, "Mom, don't worry. We're fighting just like – I had uncles in the army – when they ran into racism, they didn't play. My uncle Sam picked one guy up and threw him through a plate glass window when he hit him and made racist slurs. My uncle Clyde left North Carolina because his boss and his factory he was working kept kicking him, and he went and told his father, "If he kicks me again, I'm gonna hurt him." And he kicked him, and he bent down and grabbed him by his ankles – uncle Clyde was a strapping guy – and flipped over the other side of the room. And all of the workers surrounded him, and uncle Clyde took off. Now, we were 30 miles from the Virginia border and North Carolina. He ran that whole while. That was a – he ran a marathon to get out of that.
So this is a long tradition of this. You know Paul Robeson come from North Carolina – I'm not bragging or anything – but that's what his family was. They were really fighting folks and even now. Reverend Barber and all them people, I love them people down there, and I got a lot of family down there and I'm very proud of them. And they always accepted me for what I am, my politics and so forth.
Well, on the elections. I think it's important to say: don't be demoralized by this. Organize. Don't mourn; organize. Don't get down in the dumps. We can beat them. The ideological structure and ideas that they have in this period have long been discredited if you really want to think about it. Long been discredited. Even their concepts of race are just primitive. 300 years ago if you think about it. They have given rise to the Nazis who met down in DC and ended up their meeting with "Heil Trump!" And now they're writing the swastikas on the walls with "Heil Trump" on it. And, there've been 860 acts of bias, of racial violence, and a lot of them yell, "We're doing this for Trump." And every police officer with a corrupt and crazed racist mind now feels, "This is our time." You remember what they said when Giuliani got here, it was Giuliani time. "We could do what we wanted." ANd this, I think, it is dangerous, it is illogical and unacceptable, but if we organize, and unite and struggle, this can be defeated. That's the first thing.
I think the media's playing a little bit of a game – I'm not gonna go too long – playing a little bit of a game about Trump. Now they're saying, "Well, you know, he's changed. He now realizes the great weight of being the President, he knows he can't do that stuff again." I don't believe it, and you know what proves it? The people he picked for his cabinet – the worst of the worst. Wall Streeters – all of them billionaires and millionaires. You got the lady DeVos he picked for education. What is her job? Privatize. So she's coming in on the wings of public education, she wants to change that. Billionaire. You know, never sent her kid to public school in her life in the first place. BUt the reality is, she has a mission to destroy public education. He put her in there. He knows – they see he don't have an ideology? How do you do something like that without an ideology? He picked Sessions. Jeff Sessions to be the Attorney General after Loretta Lynch. And the other brother – what's his name? Eric Holder. They picked – this guy was rejected as a judge by the Congress of the United States because of his racism. And then there's Ben Carson. Ben – I don't know where he came from – he said he came from a poor community – okay, but he admits he took a knife to his mother? I mean, in my community, as poor as you were, no matter how poor, you never, ever took anything to your mother. If you wanted to live, anyway. But you know, you took care of your mother, your mother was everything. He took a knife to his mother? Obviously a brilliant guy, but, you know – everybody who's brilliant ain't always – you know – there. Incredible neural surgeon, obviously. But what's he say? He says – he's working on Housing and Urban Development – he's gonna be in charge of all public housing, all Section 8, and this is going to be a disaster, because you know what he said? This is one of the worst things he said, he's probably said worse, he said that for most people, being poor – he's saying basically, that people who become poor – they prefer it. They prefer being poor. Now this boy never really been poor, 'cause he would know better if he thought that, and I lived around poor people all my life as many of you have as well, let me tell you, nobody prefers to be poor. Nobody prefers to be unemployed. Nobody prefers to go on welfare if they can get a job. Nobody prefers to live in dilapidated housing and not have health care. Who would prefer that? To see their kids suffering and not have enough food. Who would do that? Nobody. But this is the man who's gonna have a $40 Billion budget which he's gonna now destroy.
Now, and then there's the guy from Wall Street, from Goldman Sachs who's gonna become treasury secretary, a big job for him. They're basically – Trump's "non-ideological" policy is to "let get this right-wing foxes to guard the hen house of the national treasures." That's what he has done. Now you think that's different from the way he ran? Absolutely not. This is exactly what he wants to do. These are the people who are going to be in charge of the direction of the federal government.
So, you gotta get in the struggle. Already, I think we had some unprecedented things happen. All those people who hit the streets right after Trump – some body mentioned it today – "Donald Trump is not our President," and you saw what's happening in Standing Rock, I mean, that's incredible, that is a fight against environmental racism. And it is right now on the cutting edge of the whole fight against global warming and fossil fuels and all that other stuff that's happened. And those veterans who went out and joined them, I mean, it reminded me of the Abraham Lincoln brigades going into Spain, and they stopped them! And Obama had the good sense to say, "That's it. We're going to re-look at this situation." Now, if they were demoralized, they would have never done it. If they didn't' think there was a way out they would of never done it. They understood that these ideas being pushed on them were old, decrepit, and evil and we have to defeat them. Or, like the $15 and Union people went out and had big marches all across the country including civil disobedience in the streets and so forth. A lot of people got arrested. A now the women are talking about a million women march on inauguration. The people are saying to the Left, and I know everybody on the Left doesn't have a lot of confidence in people, well, we do – they're saying to the Left, "We're moving! You wanna come with us? Come on. And we wanna come with them and we are with them and we will stay with them as the Party, but also the broad Left in this country will be a part of this great fight, because here is our hope: Our hope is that Trump will be a one term president or less – or less – or less. 'Cause I'm sure he's gonna do a lot of things that will make him impeachable, he's that kinda guy. 'Cause he does it every day when he was running. You watch, when he gets real power. He is everything he accused Clinton of around corruption and using her foundation. He is doing it.
You know, that McMahon women up in Connecticut, who is running – "small business" – and she gave the Trump foundation $8 million of her own money and then he paid off, "here, you got a job in Washington. They guy from Wall Street gave him $425,000. Almost everybody he's given these high positions have contributed something to the Trump warchest or whatever you wanna call. He's a corrupt, conniving, thieving con-man, and he's gonna make some big mistakes, I know it, and we know it, so we just have to keep the pressure on.
Finally, I want to say, he did not win the popular vote. If we didn't have the Electoral College, which was a mechanism that was designed to serve – when they had the 3/5ths of a man and all that – to guarantee the slave states that they would have an equal or proportional impact on who would be the President. That's when the Electoral College was invented. Get rid of it! Really. Get rid of it. I know it may not be easy now. But, a lot of people agree. 3 million votes now that Hillary has above him. 3 million. It ain't a landslide, but I'll tell you, it is the popular will of the people. Electoral College is not. It is the popular will of the people. I think think that's very, very important, and I don't agree with those you said Hillary was as bad as Trump, and you're going to get a real lesson in that in the next period, I'll tell you. I'm gonna tell you. I'm glad that Jill Stein is paying for the counting of the votes, raise that money, that's very important, but the real thing that has to be examined even more is the voter suppression that the Republicans did to keep the Black vote, and youth vote, and the Latino vote down. They still going to build the wall. They still going to be rounding up people, and all of these mayors now are saying, "They can't do that in our area." This is going to be a sanctuary for them. We're not going to allow that. And Trump is saying, "well, we're gonna take away federal funds. Let him try. New York gives more to the federal government than it gets back. And if he comes in here and does something, we got a little bit to handle, to deal with this situation. But I think the people here will not accept – Trump's supporters – the so-called "white, working class," which I think is a wrong phrase. You know, there are white people who are workers, but they tend to be in the higher income of workers, and some of them are independent contractors and things like that. Their average wage is $70,000 a year, and the average worker's wage is way down from that, and you look at the returns on the election and the people under $50,000 and below voted overwhelmingly for Clinton with all of her shortcomings. Some people stayed at home, there's no question about it, and if they had come out, maybe it would have been a different outcome, but still those who came out, the numbers show that Trump had a minority of the popular vote and that's very important, because right now the majority of the popular vote can be mobilized to come out and it won't be long, but some of those people who voted for him are going to be – they're already saying, "What's he doing? He said he was going to do this, he was going to do that, he's not doing it. And the lock 'em up stuff, yeah, and all that little stuff, he's now trying to duck away from that kind of thing, but these people are not, as my wife Lydia brilliantly said, "they're going to learn through the school of hard knocks." And sometimes that lesson is the greatest lesson of all, because they put their faith in this guy, those who voted for him. And actually, the majority of the working class didn't vote for him because the working-class is multi-racial, and will always be multi-racial in this country, but those who did vote for him are going to – expecting all this new, white paradise they going to have now, we're going to be back in charge, we're going to make this country white again, that's what they're really thinking and so forth, they going to be meet the raff of the people and a sense of repulsion, by all people of color to that racist, fascistic idea. So, I'm optimistic, I'm sure you are. Christmastime – use it and other holidays coming up – use it to convince people that they gotta keep on fighting, and that we can win if we keep on fighting. And, I think that my family, which I'm very proud of – my daughter is a member of the executive board of her union, the Professional Staff Congress, she's a PhD in sociology – I mean she knows a hell of a whole lot more than I do, and her brother, Michael, he's just a fabulous film maker and school teacher and quite a wonderful – he's been to Standing Rock and he's been all around the country doing things for us, for the people, and then Colby, who's not here – he works for Radio One, a Black-owned radio station, he's a program director, you know. And I'm gonna tell you a little secret, you know they say you become a Communist everything will close down, your kids won't get jobs, they won't get education. Don't believe it, because that idea doesn't resonate with the masses like it used to. It does among some people, like it used to. And our kids – she tells her class, and my father, you know he's a member of the Communist Party, and a leader and so forth, and nobody's run out of the class yet, have they? No, and I spoke to one of her classes once and they gave me a hard time, let me tell you. But they didn't say you're an evil force from Moscow and all that other stuff. They said, "what are we going to do without rich people, you know. Well, we'll do a lot better.
So, finally, thank you all again been really a wonderful event for me and I just wanted to take a moment to let you know, you all know Lydia, my wife, and you know my daughter, and my son, my sister-in-law – my daughter-in-law's over there, she's not my sister – she's my daughter in law, and there is my brother, McCoy Tyner. Give him a hand. And that's his son, Darryl Dean holding him up, and that big guy in the red jacket, that's Amir Tyner and he is Darryl Dean's son, McCoy's grandson, and a great basketball player, by the way. And, I just want to say, my mother in law is here, Priscilla Bassett, stand up, Priscilla. Champion of revolutionary struggle all of her life, a wonderful, wonderful human being. Where's Gwen? You'll know my sister Gwen. Give her a hand. Yeah, I had to babysit her when I was a teenager. Hated it. No, I used to babysit her, and her trick was to get me to sit down while she was going up and down the street and then as soon as I wasn't looking, she'd run out into traffic, knowing that I'd jump up and save her, but that would bug me to death, that was my sister, but now I run out in traffic and she saves me, so so that's the way it is. Alright, thank you all very much. Appreciate it.
Oh! I forgot something. I was born July, the 11th, and my brother McCoy was born December the 11th, and guess what day it is. His birthday!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday, dear McCoy!
Happy Birthday to you!
And, my beautiful granddaughter that you have all got to know and love, running, her name is Lilith Beatrice, which is her maternal grandmother's name and Beatrice is my mother's name, Tyner, the youngest Tyner out there. Hi, Lilly. You okay? Say hi. Throw 'em a kiss. There you go. Alright, thank you all very much.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, Mike Tyner presented a short commemorative film of Jarvis Tyner talking about his childhood and involvement in the struggle for a Better World.

The Mathrubhumi, in its editions dated September 22, reported that signs and characters which point to links with the Indus Valley Civilization have been found in the Edakkal Cave in the Wayanad district.
The reporter, Vimal Kottakkal, said they were found during excavations by the Kerala government's department of archaeology. Similar signs had been found in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka earlier, but this was the first time they had been found in Kerala.
He also said Dr. M. R. Raghava Varier, who had studied the Edakkal find, had confirmed the presence of Indus motif
Evidently the find is important because it throws a little light on our past, which has been obliterated with cock-and-bull stories built around mythological characters like Parasurama and Vamana. But it does not seem to have evoked much interest in the State.
The Hindu followed up the Mathrubhumi story. "Sign akin to Indus Valley found in Kerala", said a Malappuram report in the paper yesterday. To day it carried a report from T.S. Subramaniam in Chenna under the headline "Edakkal engraving a unique find".
Subramaniam, who talked to Iravatham Mahadevan, a scholar on the Indus seals and the ancient Tamil Brahmi script, said he had congratulated Dr. Varier and his colleagues on this 'major discovery'.
The Edakkal Cave has been attracting tourists in recent years. A write-up in the Bloggerbase website says the cave was discovered by Fred Fawcett, a police superintendent, who was a pre-history enthusiast.
According to Vimal Kottakkal, Faucett studied the cave drawings in 1901. With all his enthusiasm for pre-history, he could not have linked them to the Indus Valley Civilization, for that glorious chapter of the subcontinent's past was unknown at the time. Englishmen, recreating India's past with the help of followers of the Vedic tradition, had decided that there was nothing worthwhile outside the Rig Veda.
Since the middle of the 19th century Englishmen had been pulling down ancient structures to find material for laying rail tracks without bothering about history or archaeology. A British army officer, Alexander Cunningham, who was interested in archaeology, found a Harappan seal. He assessed rightly that it belonged to an ancient period but presumed wrongly that it was Brahmi writing. The discovery of more Harappan seals in the early part of the 20th century led the authorities to undertake extensive excavations at Harappa and Mohenjo-daro. It was not until 1930 that John Marshall unveiled the picture of the Indus Valley Civilization.
Fawcett suggested the Edakkal carvings might be the handiwork of the Kurumbar tribe of Wayanad. He wrote, "The curious reluctance of the Kurumbars to approach the Cave, combined with the simultaneous want of reverence for it both on the part of the Paniyas and the local Hindus, who are very small in numbers and not long resident in the Wayanad, might tempt one to hazard the theory as to the carvings being the handiwork of Kurumbars of a bygone day".
Some of the tribes of Kerala are among the oldest inhabitants of the subcontinent. The Paniyas find mention in the Rig Veda as one of the prosperous communities whose cows the Vedic tribes coveted. The Hindu establishment, dominated by followers of the Vedic tradition, is now trying to convince us that the hostile tribes quietly surrendered to the Vedic community and voluntarily accepted bondage.
Genome studies going on in India and abroad are yielding valuable information about the movement of people from the African continent to the far corners of the world over tens of thousands of years. They may not reveal much about the ancient tribes of Kerala, who appear to be part of a chain extending from Africa to Australia and the Pacific Islands because they do not figure much in them. The studies appear to cover only one tribe, the Kurichiyars.

For Apple, A $76 Billion Dilemma
(From THE WALL STREET JOURNAL) By Yukari Iwatani Kane
Apple Inc. has built up a $76.2 billion cash hoard. Now the question is what the company intends to do with the money pile.
On Tuesday, the Cupertino, Calif., company disclosed cash, including short- and long-term marketable securities, for the quarter ended June 25 increased 16% since March to $76.2 billion. That's more than the gross domestic product of 126 countries, including nations such as Ecuador, Bulgaria, Sri Lanka and Costa Rica, according to data from the World Bank.
The gigantic sum prompted some investors to call for it to use some of the cash for dividend payouts. "If they can't find ways to use it to grow, they should be returning it to shareholders," said Tim Ghriskey, chief investment officer of Solaris Asset Management, which owns Apple stock.
Asked to comment, an Apple spokesman referred to a long-standing policy as outlined by Chief Executive Steve Jobs last October. "We strongly believe that one or more very strategic opportunities may come along that we can take that we're in a unique position to take advantage of because of our strong cash position," he said.
The cash puts Apple at the head of a pack of large technology companies that have been stockpiling cash in recent years. Microsoft Corp., for example, has built up its cash levels to $60.9 billion, including equity and others investments as of March. Google Inc. has $39.1 billion and Cisco Systems Inc. $43.4 billion by a similar measure as of their latest reporting periods.
Many corporations have accumulated cash because of economic uncertainty over the last several years.
According to ratings agency Standard & Poor's, total cash and cash equivalents for the 500 largest U.S. companies by market capitalization was $963 billion at the end of the first quarter, up from $837 billion a year ago. The sums accrued by tech companies, which operate in sectors where industry trends can shift quickly, necessitating a bigger safety net.
Apple has amassed "just an enormous war chest of money," said Howard Silverblatt, a senior index analyst for S&P.
Tech companies that build cash often walk a fine line with shareholders. They often shun dividends, which typically are associated with mature companies, preferring to view themselves as young and faster growing. Young firms often need cash to finance that growth.
Apple, however, continues to grow at outsized rates, fueled by sales of its iPad tablet computer and iPhone smartphone. On Tuesday, the company said its fiscal third-quarter revenue rose 82% from a year earlier. That continued growth and stellar earnings helped push its stock market value to nearly $358 billion on Wednesday.
Toni Sacconaghi, an analyst with Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., said a share repurchase or dividend could help Apple attract investors managing value and growth and income funds.
"We're talking about a level of cash that's preposterous by any metric," said Mr. Sacconaghi. Apple, which has no debt, could easily borrow money at low interest rates to make a large acquisition if it wanted, he said.
Apple tends to be conservative about its cash because of its history, in which the company almost failed for lack of cash in the 1990s before Mr. Jobs returned to the company and put it on a growth track.
Aside from buying telecommunications-related patents from Nortel Networks for an undisclosed sum in late June, Apple has made no acquisitions this year. It has made small acquisitions in the past; its biggest was in April 2008 of semiconductor company P.A. Semi Inc. for an estimated $278 million.
Of course, some investors are fine with letting Apple sit on the cash. "It provides me enormous comfort that their balance sheet is so strong," said Mike Binger, a fund manager at Thrivent Asset Management, which owns Apple stocks.

Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Inter Milan will host the Serie A game against Sassuolo on Sunday afternoon in Giuseppe Meazza stadium in Milan. Sassuolo is currently one of the surprises in Italy being placed 6th on the table. Despite their current form Sassuolo was unable to beat Frosinone in their last game. The game ended in a 2-2 disappointing draw. Inter Milan on the other hand is currently the leader in the Serie A having 39 points out of 18 games. Roberto Mancini's team is lacking in scoring goals but compensates with a impressive defense. We predict Inter Milan to be to strong for Sassuolo at home and win 1-0. The pressure will be high for the team from Milan and there is still a long way to go to win the Scudetto this season.
Highlighted Player (Geoffrey Kondogbia):
Geoffrey Kondogbia is a French football player born on 15th of February 1993 in Nemours with roots in Central African Republic. Kondogbia started his football career in the youth of RC Lens where he made his debut for the first team in season 2010/2011. After playing for Sevilla and AS Monaco Kondogbia made a transfer to Inter Milan, which paid around 35 million euro.
Knodogbia is, despite his age, a very mature football player, which plays as a defensive midfielder. Being left-footed gives Kondogbia more abilities than other players in order to open up and create space in the pitch. Kondogbia made his debut for the French national team in August 2013.
Kondogbia is a very talentful player, which will be one of the best defensive midfielders In a couple of years. The competition for a spot in the starting eleven of France is very hard, which gives Kondogbia the opportunity to focus on Inter Milan.
Highlighted Team (Inter Milan):
Internazionale Milano, known as Internazionale, Inter or Inter named Milan, is a football club from Italy, founded on March 9, 1908 by a number of "rebels" who did not like in the regulations of the Milan Cricket and Football Club, now known as AC Milan. The main objection was that no foreign players were allowed. In 1928 the club merged with US Milanese and strongly entered a time when Ambrosiana-Inter survived.
The club, nicknamed the Nerazzurri or the blue / blacks has had many successes. This is how Inter Milan won 18 national titles, seven times the Italian Cup, the UEFA Cup 3x, and 3x times the Champions League, formerly known as the European Cup I.

Hair Questions
Questions about Hairstyles for Men
Rat Tail Hairstyle
Q: My question is about a particular style for men. Is there any meaning or cultural preference underlying a short cut all around except for a very thin long tail down the back? Is this ethnic, cultural or what? I am most interested in the background of this chosen hairstyle. Thanks very much.
A: This look is known commonly as a Rat Tail hairstyle, and is related to the Mullet, being popular with similar demographic groups during the heyday of both hairstyles. This heyday was the mid-80s to early-90s.
However, this hairstyle – of a close-cropped or shaved head with a small section of hair at the back of the head left to grow long – has been around for a long time and can be seen represented in artwork from the Far East in countries like China, Japan and India (among others). The style was often presented as favored by religious and monastic orders, and has been seen in later years (in this and the past century) worn by members of religious orders like the Hare Krishnas.
The style became popular in America in the latter half of the 1980s and the earlier half of the 1990s as an alternative to the full-blown "business-in-the-front-party-in-the-back" mullet style. It was considered to be a more "extreme" look and became more prevalent as the traditional
grew more mainstream, worn more by those who wanted to remain "different". Because of this (and the style's popularity among many "Punks" and "Skinheads") the style carried a minor reputation of "rebel" in some areas.
The classification of the origin for the style is muddled. As mentioned, the look is seen in ancient works of art from Asia and the East, but has also been popular among a wide range of ethnic groups. There was a brief period after the release of Eddie Murphy's "Coming to America" wherein his character, Prince Akeem, sports a long rat-tail as a sign of his privilege and station, where rat tails suddenly appeared on the heads of many young African-American men. The sudden development of the rat-tail haircut (specifically in the apparent rapid growth of the tails) in this group was accomplished by the use of extension hair added to the braids to create a long tail braid.
What we can say for sure is that while the purpose for this hairstyle in the ancient past – representing status, social standing, or religious affiliation – the look in later years was intended primarily as a means to assert individuality, or a desire to be perceived as a non-conformist or non-traditionalist. Today the style can be readily seen in many Japanese comics (called Manga) where it is common for the characters to have very bold and unusual hairstyles.
However, knowing all of this, the specific reasons for any given individual having and wearing the rat-tail hairstyle will likely be dependent largely upon his (or her) particular demographic group. He may be a young Manga-enthusiast. She may favor an alternative lifestyle and keep her rat-tail dyed a vibrant pink. He may be an aging rocker-wannabe, who just can't let go of the last vestiges of his hard-living youth. Or, he may be simply a Star Wars enthusiast who fancies himself as a young Padawan (the rat-tail style was used in the recent films to signify a apprentice Jedi's status and the tail was cut off with his lightsaber when he achieves his full rank as a Jedi Knight)

New York Homosexual Men Accuse New Jersey Therapy Group of...
Four gay young men are accusing a New Jersey organization of selling "conversion therapy" promising to make them straight.
They told a Manhattan news conference on Tuesday that they were subjected to humiliations including having to strip naked, or taking a baseball bat to effigies of their mothers.
The four attended sessions at the Jersey City-based Jews Offering New Alternatives to Healing, or JONAH. The nonprofit advertises in Jewish publications and claims to rid men of same-sex attractions.
The four men say the methods do not work and should not be marketed under New Jersey's consumer protection laws.
JONAH did not return calls requesting comment.
Its claim that being gay is a mental disorder that can be reversed has been rejected by the American Psychiatric Association.

We asked readers and ski aficionados for their favourite ski destinations in Canada, and then we factored in some of our own preferred resorts. Whether it's alpine, cross-country or heliskiing, there's something for everyone at most ski resorts–even for children and non-skiers.
Canada's 10 Best Ski Destinations
1. Whistler Blackcomb, British Columbia: Together, the adjacent Whistler and Blackcomb mountains offer more than 200 marked runs, 16 alpine bowls and three glaciers over 3,200 hectares of incredibly beautiful terrain.
For the non-skier: dog-sledding, tube park, zip trek, snowcat tours, and visits to the trendy shops and eateries in Whistler Village.
For the kids: in addition to ski lessons catering to all levels and ages, there are special kids and teen programs and the Whistler Kids Snow School. Plus, there's also outdoor skating at Olympic Plaza and the thrilling Coca-ColaTube Park.
For more information visit www.whistlerblackcomb.com.
2. Sun Peaks, near Kamloops, British Columbia: At 1,500 hectares, Sun Peaks is the second largest ski area in British Columbia and is the third-largest in the country. This destination is popular with families and seasoned skiers with its opportunities for alpine and Nordic skiing.

Norquay, Sunshine Village and Lake Louise Mountain Resort. Banff National Parks is a UNESCO World Heritage site popular with tourist year-round, though in winter it becomes a 6,641-square kilometre playground. (Lake Louise alone offers 139 runs.)
For the non-skier: winter trekking, dog-sledding and tubing top the list. Lake Louise in winter morphs into a 2.5 km-long skating rink. Plus, there are plenty of culinary and spa opportunities in and around Banff. Afternoon Tea at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel is a popular way to warm up on a winter's day.

This week we talk to Sally Dymond from Brisbane, Queensland
Seven questions with Sally
Tell us about yourself!
I am passionate about health and healing since I was 17 years old. After narrowly missing the Barcelona Olympics for swimming, I embarked on a lifetime of helping people reach their pinnacle of sport and help them recover from illness and pain. Having been involved with 'bodies' for 28 years I am well experienced and a sought-out therapist. My very busy practice is in Redcliffe, Brisbane called .
What's your background?
My skills include Remedial massage, Acupuncture, Bioressonance, SCENAR/Key therapy. I spent 5 years working alongside the worlds' best physical therapists, sports therapists on the WTA tennis tour helping top female tennis players with their pre and post-match recovery.
What drew you to physiokey?
physiokey is fast, simple and very easy to incorporate into all treatments. The results are amazing and being a sprinter in the pool I am always looking for fast ways to help my athletes recover and heal as I know firsthand what it's like to be out and injured.
What modalities do you use in your Clinic?
Key therapy, Remedial massage, Bioresonance, Oils and ASEA and Renu 28.
What changes have you noticed since adding physiokey?
Treatment time has reduced along with the number of sessions required for patients. Can generally get a very fast response in one session getting most athletes back to training within 24-48 hrs.
Why do you suggest sanakey to your clients?
I believe that you need to empower your clients to have tools to use at home between treatments. But more importantly for athletes when they are training and recovering for their next training session sanakey and renu 28 are imperative to stimulate healthy communication between cellular function and healing. When you combine these treatments especially with the iontophoresis setting you will get a 50 % increase in skin blood flow and a very fast recovery.
How do you think physiokey benefits practitioners?
physiokey is a simple addition that provides a huge result. It's portable and goes everywhere with me, it's rechargeable, sleek design is easy to hold all day long. It has a great set of training video's that are easy to understand.

In Turkey Mr. Erdogan is talking through his hat.
He does this very often when he's stepping up to bat:
Women must be mothers and unless they fill the cradle
With a pack of infants they are traitors who are fatal.
This is fine if you are preaching to a pack of louts;
But said to normal people it will raise a sea of doubts.
And when he orders all the schools to use the Arab script,
His popularity will sink right down into the crypt.
Of course, there is suspicion that his statements are a ruse
To take the Turkish peoples mind off scandals that suffuse
His administration like bad incense or dead cats –
So the populace will spare him and his cheap trained rats.
This polemic is brought to you by Sony Pictures. The movie studio that isn't afraid to take on tyrants!

Body Space Image
As I have noted elsewhere, the different capacities that Mark Johnson indicates as allowing meaning and thought to emerge; perception, object manipulation, and bodily movement, cannot be entirely disentangled from one another, or indeed from the 'capacity' of space which also acts as a conceptual metaphor for the organisation of thought and meaning. It is much more the case that these capacities work together, and in this working together an enriched and integrated vocabulary of embodied information is produced that might then lend structure to meaningful thinking.
So for example, the faculty of visual perception does not operate on its own, separate from the space in which that vision takes place or from the objects and entities upon which it falls. Objects and their availability for manipulation are also intimately dependant upon the location of these objects in space and the bodily movement enacted in this manipulating. The movement that bodies make requires space for this movement to occupy and is accompanied by a wide ranges of perceptual changes and potential collisions with objects.
Not only are these capacities deeply interwoven so that it is impossible to talk about one without invoking others, but there is also a set of organised relationships between the functioning of these capacities. The extended space through which we routinely move is partially structured according to proximity and distance; small movements take us into the proximal spaces nearby whereas more extended movement places us at some distance from where we started. Alongside this spatialisation through movement however there is also an experiential difference in the sensory mode through which we access that the objects in that physical space. Whilst we can only see objects at a distance we can touch and possibly even taste objects that are close up. In other words there is a consistent relationship in which spatially distant object only appear within visual perception whereas more proximal objects fall within reach of the hands, the skin, and the tongue.
There are also more elaborate correspondences which emerge from the properties of objects and the physics of our world. Objects that feel hard and heavy in the hand tend to move downward through space toward the ground (through the influence of gravity) whilst those that feel lighter, more diaphanous or evanescent and which are difficult to grasp may dissipate in different ways, perhaps flowing or evaporating away invisibly.
There are also intersubjective differences and variations in salience that play our across the terrain of perception, objects and movements in space. Events that we see are obviously outside of our body, possibly even a considerable distance from our body, and therefore do not have a direct and immediate 'impact' on our wellbeing. Objects and events which are apprehended through the sense of touch, on the other hand (sic) do, by definition, have a direct impact on the body doing the touching, they are in extreme proximity to that body, and are likely to have a much greater significance for the person touched than for someone else who is not in contact with the object, (touching a flame causes a significantly different response than seeing one). Visualised objects are also usually also visible to other people, existing in interpersonal shared space, which means that objects apprehended visually are likely to have similar significance for all viewers (seeing a tiger is likely to cause anyone in visible range to run away). Touching is not only up close, but it is also usually personal and cannot be adequately shared. Those objects that we put inside ourselves and which appear only as tastes are removed from interpersonal space entirely. They can neither be manipulated nor moved around, nor are they entirely separable from our selves.
These completely embodied ontological differences and relations of difference suggest that there is a structured and organised set of variations in experience. These include; the perceptual sense that is primarily used to access that experience, corresponding differences in the proximity of the stimulus to the body, the substantiality of the stimulus (whether it is hard or soft, heavy or light) and the degree to which an experience is shared amongst a number of experiencers.
What I would like to argue that this complex network of relations not only describes the organisation of lived experience in the physical world but also provides a template for the organisation of abstract thought. This is a theme that I would like to develop by considering how the abstract idea of 'knowledge' might exist within this network and how variations in our use of the term might be seen to map differently across it.

Species Concepts and Reproductive Isolating Barriers
Hybrid Inviability
When hybrid zygotes are formed, they frequently die at some point during their development due to genetic incompatibility between the two parent species. This isolation mechanism, known as hybrid inviability, prevents the genomes of the two species from mixing. In this way, the gene flow between the two populations is impeded.
One example of hybrid inviability occurs in the frog genus, Rana. Interbreeding between some species of Rana results in the formation of hybrid tadpoles, but the tadpoles die before they become reproductive adults. Thus, the populations corresponding to different species remain genetically isolated.
Hybrid inviability is a postmating isolating mechanism and also a postzygotic isolating mechanism.

What's the use of having a website if you can't have a rant every once in a while? Today's topic was prompted by settling down to watch a DVD with my family.
I put the DVD, a feature film, in the machine and it started automatically. But the menu didn't appear. Instead there was a lengthy item with fuzzy video and a distorted music bed that offered the opinion that since you wouldn't steal a car, a DVD, a handbag or a cell phone (mobile phone) then you shouldn't buy a pirated DVD because that is stealing too.
Despite pressing practically all the buttons on the remote, I couldn't advance to the menu.
And then came a lengthy trailer for a movie we had already seen. And then another lengthy trailer for one we had already decided we didn't want to watch.
Still I couldn't get to the menu and the movie I had paid my rental fee for.
And then another lengthy trailer...
At last the movie started and we were able to enjoy it. For a time. At just over an hour into the movie, the picture froze.
There was nothing I could do. This isn't the first time this has happened and I know that the answer is to switch the machine off and start again, skipping past the point where it froze.
So I had to watch the piracy-equals-theft item again, and the trailer, and the trailer, and the trailer.
Now to my point. Since I have been inconvenienced by this DVD, I intend to get my own back by going to a car boot sale this afternoon and specifically looking for a pirated DVD to buy.
But won't this be stealing, as I have had a double opportunity to learn by now?
It's interesting how words change their meaning over the years. Here is a page on the subject.
But turning 'piracy' of intellectual property into 'stealing', or 'theft'?
The term 'piracy' in the field of intellectual property (IP) has long meant copying someone else's IP and selling products or services that embody that IP without paying the owner.
So pirate would buy a DVD, incorporate the content of that DVD into a new product and sell that product, either physically or electronically. Or even give it away - that would still be piracy.
A counterfeiter, for the record, is a close relation of the pirate. The counterfeiter though tries to pass off his unauthorized copies as the real thing.
So why is this not theft?
Simple, stealing or theft involves taking something without permission, thus depriving the owner of its use.
So you could steal a car, DVD, handbag or cell phone and deprive the owner of its use.
But if you sell copies of a DVD, whether similar to the original or in a different form, you have deprived the original owner of nothing. Therefore it would be neither stealing nor theft.
To steal someone's intellectual property, you would have to deprive them of the ability to use it and/or profit from it.
So to steal a movie, you would have to somehow forge documents to prove that you in fact owned the intellectual property of that movie. I suspect this would be impossible.
So on to today's activity. At a car boot sale there are lots of people selling all kinds of stuff. There will be many secondhand DVDs on sale, the vast majority entirely genuine and legitimate.
But you know what - I'm going to buy a DVD and not bother to ask if it is genuine. It is well known that pirates and counterfeiters distribute their merchandise at boot sales. But how I am to know? How can I be sure that I'm not being lied to if I ask whether a DVD is genuine?
Is the burden on me to ensure that the DVD I buy is genuine? If I make a mistake and buy a pirate DVD, am I stealing?
Am I a thief?
And what about the vast majority of innocent people who don't have a clue what intellectual property is, and couldn't really care less? Is telling them that they are stealing, when they are clearly not, the right thing to do?
Now don't get me wrong. As a content owner myself I fully support the concept of intellectual property. However, the means that corporate content owners use to protect their IP go far beyond the reasonable and are an intrusion on the day-to-day lives of ordinary people who would never even dream of stealing. They do that because it's easier than going after the real pirates - the people who make unauthorized copies.
Sometimes I feel that governments and corporations would like to designate us all as criminals so they can pick and choose who to target and punish. You can't not be a criminal - you just haven't been caught yet.
At some point, people who just want to get on with their lives free from government and corporate interference will have to stand up and speak.
And this afternoon, I'll could easily find myself saying, "How much is that DVD please?". I feel bullied and manipulated and that would be one way I could express my anger.
Actually I won't, because I've had my say. It will be secondhand vinyl I'll be buying at the boot sale this afternoon instead. I wouldn't be surprised though if sometime soon I'll be told that buying secondhand records is stealing too.Come on the FREE COURSE TOUR

Melanie Wilson is in rehearsal with her new play Iris Brunette opening at BAC on 9 October.
Melanie Wilson is a performer, writer and sound artist. Her show Simple Girl was an Edinburgh success in 2007 and received nominations for Best Female Performer and Spirit of the Fringe awards at the Dublin Fringe Festival. She has recently collaborated with Chris Goode in ...Sisters, Boilerhouse in Drenched (nominated in Manchester Evening News Theatre Awards for Best Actress in a visiting company), with Catherine Dyson in Dead Man's Biggest Fan, The Clod Ensemble, Punchdrunk, Shunt and Rotozaza. As a composer, she has made sound for A2 Company, Blind Summit, Greg McClaren, Coney, Resonance FM and Lindsey Woolsey.
What first attracted you to the theatre?
The silence of being an audience member. Being able to watch people in a way you don't get to do in everyday life. The utter transportation involved in what unfolds in front and around you. I've been thinking about that a lot in the making of my show Iris Brunette.
If you could pick any one person or theatre company to work with on your next project, who/which would it be?
I'm going to quite casually say Janet Cardiff. Which would be more than dreaming.
What was the most inspiring performance you have ever seen? Why?
I recently went to see Waves by Katie Mitchell, and was really pole axed by it. It would be a tremendous thing to work with her I think. I think that piece really entranced me because of its simplicity. Of course it was fiendishly technical in its way too, but it spoke a language with the sound score that tickled me very much. I am trying to walk a similar path with my show 'Iris Brunette', although I wouldn't presume to compare my show with the dazzle of Waves. Also, it's a tiny bit more cheery. A tiny bit.
What piece of work are you the most proud of?
I am proud of my first show Simple Girl and also the album I made with Elle Osborne, Black Veined White. Both of them came into view after long periods of wilderness walking and felt precious and robust in a way I had not felt about making work before. But I hope that Iris Brunette might keep her end up too.
What makes a really good character?
I have no idea, but personally I like watching characters that seduce and scare in equal measure. I'm not a playwright in any sort of conventional manner. Whatever that is. The characters I like are see through: they are more like qualities through which an audience can engage with the performer and the event.
Are there any actors/actresses you would like to write a play for?
Catherine Dyson or Tilda Swinton. But I wouldn't write a play for them, I'd write extremely emotional, loud, epic music for us to watch their beautiful faces by.
What play do you wish you'd written?
Maybe this is cheating, but I really admire the screenplay for Last Year at Marienbad, written by Alain Robbe-Grillet. I know, I know. It's cheating. But it's an inspiring film.
Can you tell our readers about what you're doing now/next?
At the moment I am rehearsing my new show Iris Brunette, which opens at BAC on October 9th. I am also making a show with the Young Peoples Theatre programme at BAC, which will be presented in November.

Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Cut Log to Length
(I drew these pictures to make it easier to understand.)
Step 2: Remove Bark
(I was able to just peal it off with a knife on some of them.)
Step 3: Slicing Segments
Step 4: Removing Core
Step 5: Gluing Seam
(I wrapped it twice for a tighter grip.)
Step 6: Top and Bottom Inset
Step 7: Cutting Scribe Lines
Step 8: Sanding
Sand the edges, and make it really smooth on outside. DO NOT sand on the bottom inset's sides, but DO sand on top and bottom of it.
Step 9: Locate Top Inset and Glue
Step 10: Gluing Bottom Inset
Step 11: Done!
It is pretty easy to make once you get going after a couple. I probably broke 2-3 before I was able to get the finale product. But trial and error is a great thing.

wow I wish I could handle a pencil as well as you can the drawings a good by themselves.
I have made band saw boxes a little differently.
I cut the top off blank then core the box out then cut a piece off of the top of the interior blank to glue on the bottom of the top and cut a piece off of the bottom of the core to glue in place of the bottom I use epoxy and am left with a larger interior piece to make a smaller box with. the best ones are made with very complicated grain. like that found in stumps and multiple crotches
uncle frogy
did a box like this using a bridge port mill, cnc router would not accomplish the depth i wanted. but dig your design and method! very cool.
No problem
Very nice looking! Thanks for sharing!

If you took the GMAT before June 27, 2014, then you know that feeling of anxiously trying to figure out what your score might be, while the clock counts down, ticking away your decision time. Trying to gauge how well you did on the GMAT is almost impossible, since the test is computer adaptive. If you are having trouble with a group of questions, it may be because you are doing really well and the test is giving you a lot of difficult questions or it may mean that you are just doing really poorly.
If you haven't taken the GMAT yet, you don't have to worry about any of this because now you can look at your unofficial scores before you have to decide whether or not to cancel. Once you have finished the test, you will be able to see your unofficial score, which includes everything but the AWA section and will have two minutes to decide whether or not you want to cancel. Even if you decide to cancel, you can reinstate them for a $100 dollar fee within 60 days.
So if you are new to the GMAT, you have been given a gift, don't waste it! Make sure you take full advantage of this opportunity by doing your research and deciding before the test what score you will accept. That way you will know immediately when looking at it if you want to keep it or not.

TORONTO, ON – ARHT Media Inc. (formerly Vast Exploration Inc., the "Corporation" or "ARHT") (TSX Venture Exchange "ART") announces that the Corporation has completed its reverse-takeover transaction (the "RTO") with Delebrity Inc. ("Delebrity") and obtained final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") for the listing of its common shares. ARHT's common shares will begin trading on the Exchange on October 17, 2014 at market open under the ticker symbol "ART" as a Tier 2 Technology Issuer.
The Corporation effected the closing of the RTO pursuant to an amalgamation agreement (the "Amalgamation Agreement") among the Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiary and Delebrity Inc. ("Delebrity"), pursuant to which the Corporation acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Delebrity by way of amalgamation between its wholly-owned subsidary and Delebrity and following which the amalgamated company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation. Under the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement, all of the outstanding Delebrity common shares were exchanged for common shares of the Corporation on a one for one basis, as more particularly described in the Amalgamation Agreement, such that former shareholders of Delebrity continued as shareholders of the Corporation. As a result 44,193,755 common shares were issued by the Corporation to former Delebrity shareholders, on a non-diluted basis. Included in the 44,193,755 common shares issued to securityholders of Delebrity were 12,318,755 common shares issued in connection with a non-brokered private placement completed in Delebrity on April 25, 2014. A commission of $92,500 and 370,000 warrants, which warrants were also exchanged for the warrants of the Corporation having the same terms on closing, were paid to in connection with the financing. The warrants are exercisable until April 25, 2015 and have a strike price of $0.25.
A total of 3,750,000 options of Delebrity will be exchanged for 3,750,000 options of ARHT with a strike price of $0.10. The Corporation will also be issuing 1,960,000 new options to certain officers, directors and consultants of ARHT effective October 15, 2014. The options are exercisable at $0.25 per option and shall expire on October 15, 2019. The options shall vest immediately subject to the four month regulatory hold period. The grant of options remains subject to regulatory approval.
Further detailed disclosure is contained in the Corporation's Amended Filing Statement, which is available under the Corporation's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Paul Duffy, CEO of ARHT commented, "We are pleased that the company will soon be trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol ART. This is an exciting time for ARHT as the company enters Q4 and looks forward to the first part of 2015 with a number of announcements about the company's unique, and patented, HumaGram™ technology. We look forward to this next phase in our corporate development."
In connection with the amalgamation transaction the Corporation changed its name from Vast Exploration Inc. to "ARHT Media Inc." In addition, each of the current directors and the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation resigned, and Paul Duffy was appointed the Chief Executive Officer, Rene Bharti was appointed the Chairman and Stan Bharti, Mickey Segal, Ryan Ptolemy, Rene Bharti, Paul Duffy and Jeff Craib were appointed to the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Paul Bozoki continues as the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation and Neil Said continues as the Corporate Secretary of the Corporation.

Welcome To The Mariners Hisashi Iwakuma!
The 30 year old right hander was a free agent in the Japanese Pacific League where he played last for the Rakuten Golden Eagles. He's put up very impressive numbers throughout his ten year career but does have issues with shoulder injuries. The Mariners have signed him to an incentive laden contract for just one year and a $1.5 million guarantee.
Sounds much like our departed Erik Bedard, we just didn't have to give up the farm to sign this guy like we did Bedard. We actually didn't have to give up anything. Last year Iwakuma tried to come to the MLB when the Oakland A's won the bidding rights for him but failed to sign him. Now that he is a free agent in Japan the M's were able to sign him without bidding and actually signed him for less than what the A's were offering him a year ago.
Iwakuma is looking for a team that he can have a good relationship with and he seems to have found that with the M's. Iwakuma stated that he was excited to find out that the Mariners wanted to sign him. He is invited to Spring Training and will be competing for a starting pitcher role. Currently he is projected by most to slide in behind Jason Vargas in the number 4 spot.
I'm not terribly excited about this contract as we still anticipate the Prince Fielder deal, but for the price and the amount of years I am truly amazed. In my post a couple days ago I stated that I didn't want to give this guy anything over two years and I was concerned about injury and longevity in this league. Seems to me that somebody in that front office knows what they're doing. Makes me believe that the Prince will be here soon.
