Law & Order UK Series 3 Premieres In September
ITV.com has released advance information on the upcoming new season of Law & Order UK. Series 3 is scheduled to premiere in the UK on September 9, 2010 at 9pm. (Sorry U.S. viewers, it will not be airing here!)
Here are complete details for all 7 episodes, with cast information. Also included are interviews with stars Bradley Walsh, Jamie Bamber, Ben Daniels, and Freema Agyeman.
The cream of British acting talent are back together for the third series of the hugely successful 'Law & Order: UK'. Series 1 and 2 have proved a huge hit with viewers, averaging 5.9 million viewers an episode. The programme covers diverse storylines taken from the original hit US series but all with a distinctly British perspective. Now the teams are back to solve more perplexing crimes and bring the perpetrators to justice.
BRADLEY WALSH (Torn, Coronation Street) is DS Ronnie Brooks, a real East End, copper's copper, friend and partner to the charming DS Matt Devlin, JAMIE BAMBER (Battlestar Galactica, The Last Detective, Ultimate Force) whose approach to policing is part seduction part force. Both report to DI Natalie Chandler (HARRIET WALTER, Morris: A Life With Bells On, Broken Lines, Atonement) a working mum who would back them to the end.
While the CPS team comprises BEN DANIELS (The Passion, The State Within, Cutting It) as dedicated Senior Crown Prosecutor James Steel, a man on a mission for justice; FREEMA AGYEMAN (Dr Who, Torchwood, Little Dorrit) as hard working, strong-willed young prosecutor Alesha Phillips; and BILL PATERSON (Little Dorrit, Criminal Justice, Sea of Souls) as their respected boss CPS director George Castle, a man trying to balance his ideals with the bigger picture.
The new cases faced by the teams are even more compelling and shocking then those featured in previous series. They include: a toddler being led to his death, a 16 year old girl found dead in her home in the middle of the afternoon, a prison officer shot dead on a council estate, a mysterious killer using a bayonet to slay his victims, the stabbing of a student and the murder case of DS Matt Devlin's best friend.
Guest stars across the new series include: Rupert Graves, Deborah Findlay, Kevin Doyle, Rocky Marshall, Patrick Malahide, Ruth Gemmell, Matthew Marsh, Celyn Jones, Wunmi Mosaku, and Robbie Gee.
'Law & Order: UK - Series 3' is brand new and exclusive to ITV1, Thursdays from 9th September at 9pm

The terrifying CCTV image of a toddler being led to his death haunts this episode of Law & Order UK which deals with the difficult and morally complex issue of children who kill. As a society, we are very unforgiving of child killers but if the killers themselves are only children, it begs the question - who really is responsible for the crime? With two children in the frame, each blaming the other, can forensic evidence prove who is guilty of strangling little Conor to death?
In an emotionally gut wrenching episode, George defies his superiors and instead takes instruction from the victim's mother who has a surprising point of view on the crime. Can the justice system, and ultimately the government, afford to be lenient?
Written By: Catherine Tregenna
When the body of a 16 year old girl is found dead in her home in the middle of the afternoon, the investigating police cannot be sure a crime was even committed. With no forensic evidence and nothing to suggest the victim didn't die of natural causes, Matt and Ronnie question why they have been called out in the first place. However, the mother's victim believes she was raped because she never slept naked. On further investigation, an unlikely murder weapon is uncovered and a likely suspect - someone with whom Crown Prosecutor James Steel has a history.
Determined the accused is guilty, James pursues him with every power available. Like a man possessed, he pushes the boundaries of the law to the legal limit. Is our hero persecuting an innocent man or justified in his convictions?
Written By: Debbie O'Malley
When three people are brutally murdered in a shop in central London and a fourth left for dead, Matt and Ronnie are up against the clock to find the killer who they fear could strike again at any moment. The nature of the attack was frenzied and brutal with the killer using a bayonet to slay his victims. With this information and a photofit, Matt and Ronnie are quickly must identify the killer before they strike again.
James assumes a straightforward case ahead of him. However, things take an unexpected turn when he learns that the defendant has brilliant legal support. With the case for defence looking very strong, James' only hope is to convince a deluded defendant to accept responsibility for his crimes.
Written By: Terry Cafolla
This week's case hits close to home for DS Matt Devlin when investigating the death of a police officer, and his best friend, PS Pete Garvey. Devlin and Garvey had known each other since childhood and when Matt discovers Pete had recently been in contact with their childhood parish priest Jonathan Nugent (Matthew Marsh), his suspicions are alerted as Pete claimed to have been sexually abused by him as a child.
With nothing but suspicions and unfounded rumours to go on, a murder charge cannot be brought against Nugent. Now a married man with a family of his own, can Matt really be sure they've got the right man? James and Alesha take an unusual approach in order to bring a charge - any charge - against the accused in a desperate attempt to get the case home.
Written By: Emilia Di Girolamo
Survivor begins with the investigation into the murder of Prison Officer Charlie Tyner who is found shot dead on a council estate in Hackney. It soon comes to light that, rather than being the good clean officer of Her Majesty's Prison Service we first believe him to be, Charlie Tyner is corrupt and taking advantage of his position in prison in a number of ways. There are plenty of prisoners inside with reason enough to want to kill Charlie but, being in prison, they have solid alibis so who killed Charlie and why?
Crown Prosecutors James Steel and Alesha Phillips find themselves at odds with their boss, George Castle, who is keen to bring to justice the killer of a prison officer. James and Alesha can't help but feel Tyner's abuse should be brought into consideration when charging the accused. And they have their eye on a much greater prize - a career criminal connected to Tyner who has evaded the justice system for too long. Can James and Alesha convince the key witness to give evidence against a man she claims to love?
Written By: Richard Stokes
The mystery surrounding the stabbing of student, Archie Rahman, has our cops chasing their tails when the only clue they have to go on is a library book checked out on the day of his murder. Two students connected to the book have given an alibi for each other but one of them is lying and it's down to our cops to find out which one.
When the perpetrator eventually confesses and claims to have acted in self-defence, Alesha is forced to face past demons. It's a delicate balancing act for James who is tasked not only with prosecuting the offender but also with defending a dead victim. Unless the truth of what happened that day is uncovered, a murderer could walk free or an innocent victim be wrongly convicted.
Written By: Debbie O'Malley
For two years, Stephanie Blake (Michelle Bonnard) has been stalked by a man who calls himself 'Giovanni'. She knows nothing about him but he knows everything about her right down to the finest details of what she keeps in her bathroom cabinet. Over time, his e-mails and calls have become more intimidating but without an actual physical threat against her, there is very little the police can do for Stephanie. After initial investigations lead nowhere, the police are forced to abandon the case. Then something happens which shakes our police heroes to their very core.
What should be a straightforward prosecution becomes complicated when a key piece of evidence is excluded. Up against Defence Barrister Evelyn Wyndham (Anna Chancellor), James has his work cut out for him. When one of the cops becomes a key witness for the prosecution, the question arises of whether his motivation is genuine or borne out of guilt. Will he perjure himself in order to get the right result?
plays DS Ronnie Brooks
How have you enjoyed this new series?
"I think this series without doubt, is the best so far. Everyone has pulled together to make this as good as it possibly can be, including all the writers, the actors and of course the technical staff and producers. The last series was so well received and got wonderful reviews. However, I think this series deserves to surpass that."
How does your character develop in this new series? Do we see new sides coming out in his personality?
"I think what you see is what you get with Ronnie Brooks, his character is very set in stone from the first episode of the first series. That's why he is so great to play. You know where you are with him."
Why do you like playing your character so much?
"The fact that he is so level and grounded. Having been a reckless cop in the past with his drinking, the joy in playing this character is that he has seen it all and done it all. Now all he wants is to put the right criminals away."
What's been the most memorable episode for you in this new series?
"I think the opening episode is so heart wrenching and sad and shows how a motherly instinct can overcome everything. People must watch this episode even if they've never watched it before. It shows what a great series it is but there are so many great episodes to come. I have five that are my equal favourites. You'll just have to keep watching."
There are some very gritty storylines including a child murder, a serial rapist, a bad prison officer and a cyberstalker. Do you like the fact they are such hard hitting subjects? Did you do research into any of the storylines for this new series?
"Yes, I really like the fact that they are hard hitting subjects, I really do. Because there are so many controversial storylines, they reflect what is happening in the news in our country today. The storylines are extraordinary. Sadly they reflect our society which is quite frightening. I do some research on the stories and have a look at how the stories they mirror in real life have panned out."
You have to put on weight to play Ronnie because he is a portly chap. Is this easy? Do you stuff yourself with fatty food and cakes?
"Absolutely I do! It is relatively easy as Ronnie is eating in most of the scenes on set, tea with two sugars and paninis all day and cakes on set. But I also put on weight before I start filming. It's a nightmare to try and get rid of the weight. It's an absolute nightmare. Especially filming over winter and eating all those carbohydrates. And we film over Christmas when I eat even more.
Do you mind putting on weight or have you tried to persuade the producers to let your character be slim?! Does your family mind?
"It's the nature of the part and as an actor that's what you have to do. You have to go that extra mile and earn that role."
Because the episodes are so hard hitting, do you find they take it out of you? Are they tiring to film?
"It is tiring to film but mostly because of the length of the days. We leave in the dark and come home in the dark. I'm fortunate that I can leave the character on set. I never take it home with me."
Law & Order:UK has become very popular. Are you surprised it has taken off? Why do you think viewers like it so much?
"No I'm not surprised. It's got some great storylines, it's a global hit. The US Series was the longest running cop show in America. Long may it reign in the UK. People from all walks of life regularly tell me how much they enjoy it."
What do you hope viewers will get out of this new series?
"A sense of justice and a sense of good triumphing over evil."
Filming this drama, does it every tempt you to want to try and land a part in the US version? Are you ever tempted to try and work in the US?
"I would love to play Ronnie Brooks in America bringing the English character over there. That would be great."
What have you been doing since finishing filming?
"Working, working and working."
Any other personal ambitions you have yet to fulfil?
"There's never been a cockney Dr Who. Surely it's about time!"
Would you ever go on a reality show? Have you been asked?
"I have been asked many times to do all these shows. It just wouldn't suit me. But I am glued to the shows when they are on, I absolutely love them."
Would you ever return to Corrie?
"If the time was right for both The Street and myself to have Danny Baldwin back on the cobbles then I'd love to, one hundred per cent."
Would you ever give up acting to do something totally new - or can you see yourself working forever and never retiring?
"I love my job so much that I can't ever see me fully retiring but who knows? I still love it."
Do you find the fame that comes with the job easy to cope with?
"The nice thing about working on television is that you get to meet all sorts of people and the people who watch TV are so lovely. They just want to come up and say hello and have a chat and that suits me fine."
Do you make sure get the life/work balance right?
"I hope so. I love my family so much and my job. I'm a lucky man."
Summing up sounds like life is pretty good at the moment?
"Yes. One should always remain with ones feet on the ground you never know what's coming round the corner. In fact, there's only one thing coming round the corner and that's other corners, so take each day as it comes, keep your feet on the ground and don't forget to smile because that costs nothing."
plays DS Matt Devlin
How have you found the new series?
"I have enjoyed it a lot. We all know each other and the format so well now. It's like going back to school after the summer holidays, as you pick up from where you left off! There is plenty of camaraderie on set and Bradley and I get on very well. We are great friends now and it's a pleasure to film it."
Do you still enjoy playing Matt?
"Yes. The more I play Matt, the more familiar I become with him and the better I get know the character. I find I have more to offer. At the beginning, you are searching for what kind of character he is, alongside the writers and producers. But after a couple of years, I really have inhabited the skin of Matt Devlin!"
What was your most memorable episode?
"Episode four, 'Confession'. I really felt I had time to explore my character because it involved a personal story. Matt thinks he can cope with anything. He thinks he is a resilient character who can deal with almost any situation. But when an old friend, who is a policeman, is shot dead, he has to deal with some issues. I don't want to give too much away but the storyline is a big upheaval for him."
Have you enjoyed the gritty storylines?
"Definitely. The point of the show is we do examine modern society. We do tend to look at it through horrific events. We look at what it stands for, what can go wrong and the positives too."
Do you take your character home with you?
"No. Law & Order:UK is easier than most jobs. Thankfully it is not too traumatic and so Matt Devlin does not come home with me."
As you film more series of Law & Order:UK, do you have greater respect for the role of the police?
"Yes and the Crown Prosecution Service. They get a hard press for things going wrong, but they do have to deal with the most awkward situations. They do a pretty good job. The public expects justice."
Are you surprised Law & Order:UK has taken off?
"No, not at all. When you are dealing with something that has been such a big hit in America, it is not exactly a surprise. It is a tried and tested formula and it is one that makes you think on a weekly basis. I think people enjoy that mental challenge."
What can viewers expect from the third series?
"The familiarity of the show combined with the different cases will hopefully draw people in."
You have worked in the US before. Are you tempted to return?
"Well I still have a house there and our lives are partly there. I am pretty sure we will go back, I am sure I will live in LA again. Nothing is forever in this world, especially the line of work I do. No two jobs are ever the same. You can be working in theatre one minute, and doing a voiceover the next. LA is just another different experience."
What have you been doing since filming finished?
"I've was out in South Africa doing some filming just before the World Cup, which was very interesting and I am just about to start filming a movie in France. It is a romantic comedy and I play an American who can speak French. I speak fluent French and Italian. It's something I have always wanted to do, so I am very excited. Then I will be back to film more Law & Order:UK! I have had a very varied time recently."
Ever fancy the idea of going on a reality show?
"(Laughs.) There is a reason why I want to be an actor. Part of that reason is I don't massively enjoy being myself in front of thousands of people."
You are a dad. Do you find it difficult juggling work with fatherhood?
"The great thing about Law & Order:UK is it is shot in London and so I get to go home every day. I am able to have a bit of time with my family and I am really grateful for that. My children do know I am on TV. When they were younger, they used to look behind the TV to see where the pictures were coming from! They are still too young to watch me on Law & Order:UK but they do see me on the chat shows."
Are any of them showing signs of following in your footsteps?
"I think it is quite normal for kids to be fascinated by songs and the theatre. My eldest daughter does look to be showing all the signs, but I will be proud of them whatever they do."
"I will encourage them if they have the enthusiasm for whatever they want to do, but I wouldn't want to be like Andre Agassi's dad (whose book I have just been reading). He forced him to hit hundreds of tennis balls every day!"
Sounds like life is going very well for you right now…
"Yes I feel very fortunate. And I hope Law & Order:UK continues to become part of the TV establishment."
plays SCP James Steel
Have you enjoyed filming this new series?
"Yes, Law & Order:UK is such a treat to do. It is very self-contained and we all get on so well. There is such a shorthand on set now and everyone has an amazing time. I certainly have. We also get such great guest artists on too."
Have you had more of a say this time about the way your character's personality develops?
"Yes, it has been brilliant and we have had lots more input about where the character should go. In this series, James definitely has more fun and lightens up. He has more of a sense of humour. He still cares but in this series he talks a lot less about it! I was very keen to move him away from someone who talks about "justice for all" to more of a man of action."
"In the first two series, he was coming through his divorce and he threw everything into work, and in this new series, he is a bit sneakier! You see him behaving more like a defence lawyer. I do still enjoy playing him. Every episode is a new challenge and the stories are so different - that is what is so great about it."
This series sees many gritty storylines including a child murder, a story about a serial rapist, cyberstalker and several gruesome murders. Do you like the fact that they are such hard hitting subjects?
"Yes I do and it feels like the series has been written on the back of recent headlines. What I love about Law & Order:UK is the fact that you do get to see how the story is played out. You see the conclusion and without repeating myself too much, that is why it is such a great format!"
Would you feel it is fair to say James is tested to the hilt during some of the cases?
"Yes. In episode two (Hounded), he hounds a man with a tenacity that is not healthy. I loved this episode and it was my favourite in this series. I really felt I got my teeth into it."
"James is much more aggressive in this series which I really like, and to bring about justice he doesn't always stay entirely within the law. Or rather he massages the law to attempt to bring about a conclusion. I think it's a nice development."
Do you still do research for the role?
"Yes. Any legal issue I don't understand, I will look into it. Freema and I are very hot on this. We make sure we know exactly where we are and what is going on. We have to. We are both very thorough. I love working with Freema. You could not ask for more as she is such a hard worker."
Does filming such gritty storylines take it out of you emotionally?
"Sometimes, but that is down to the research you carry out rather than the actual episodes themselves. You will read about real murders and real court cases and they can stick in your memory. There was one story I read about involving a guy who was killed in the woods. It was all filmed on a mobile, and then the video was uploaded on to the internet. The story stayed with me for weeks after I had read about it. I was very keen to see whether the guys were brought to justice and what sentence they got. I became obsessed and that was partly due to the fact I was working on Law & Order:UK and wanted to know the outcome!"
This is the third series. Are you surprised it has become such a big hit for ITV1?
"I am not surprised it is popular. If I remove myself from the equation, I loved the American show and I have always been a huge fan of it whenever I sit down and watch it. It is a fantastic format and it is very satisfying to watch. It captures all our imaginations."
If the Americans ever invited you to have a role on the US version, would you be tempted?
"Yes of course! That would be amazing."
What have you been doing since finishing filming?
"I went to South Africa to film another show. I then finished a movie which I first started 18 months ago. Now I am just relaxing! Law and Order is a long old stint and so it's nice to have some time off."
Do you think you get the work/life balance right?
"I try not to take on too much, but inevitably things crop up. I have a house in France which I can zip over to. On a good day, it takes four hours door to door. Even if I go for a couple of days, I feel better."
Any other personal ambitions you really want to fulfil?
"I would love to go back to Broadway and do another play there. I have talked to some producers about various different things. It would be great as I love it there. I love the buzz and New York is an amazing place to do a play."
Would you ever give up acting or do you want to go on forever?
"(Laughs.) I would really love to live up a mountain. The older I get, the more of a recluse I turn into. I love the social aspect of my work. It's like a commune and gets very intense and very sociable. Then when I am not working, I shut myself away, so I can see myself living up a mountain."
Sounds like you are very happy.
"I really am very happy. It is fantastic and we are having a nice summer too - so what could be better?"
plays CP Alesha Phillips
Have you enjoyed making the third series?
"Yes massively so. It's great to have the insight of the first two series to go on."
Does your character develop more?
"Yes and I am really pleased she does. There has been a steady development with her and she is constantly moving forward."
"This series we see Alesha and James sharing an office, which presents her as a more integral part of the prosecution team. In the first two series, she was very much James' protege and looking to him for guidance and instruction. She has a lot more confidence and responsibility in this series."
In this series, she has to face up to issues involving a past storyline when she was raped. How does she cope?
"It is an important part of her story, and we certainly learn a little more about her state of mind. In some respects it's a resolution, but it's not something that can be neatly tidied away. Considering so much of her daily work life revolves around prosecuting other serious sexual offences, inevitably her personal experience resurfaces and does need readdressing."
What's been your favourite episode?
"If I was being selfish I would have to say 'Masquerade' as you learn more about Alesha. If I was being unbiased, then I would say 'Defence' because I loved the mental sparring between James Steel and Rupert Graves' character. It was utterly engaging to watch the two of them bounce off each other."
Do you take the character home with you?
"If I'm honest I've always had a strong opinion when it comes to the definition and discussion of right and wrong!"
Have you been taken aback by the show's popularity?
"Yes and no. No, in the sense that I knew how successful the US franchise. And yes, because there was never any guarantee that transposing it onto the streets of London and into our court room, was going to be well received. Plus, the pressure to maintain the popularity of the franchise was huge. Especially with Dick Wolf watching!"
"I do have utter faith in our show but it's always such a relief to know that people are watching and enjoying it. It's ultimately why we produce dramas and it's really validating!"
What have you been doing since finishing filming?
"I should probably say I have been doing a gruelling one hander at an amazing venue. But in all honesty, my sister had a baby girl just before we finished making Law & Order:UK and I didn't get to see much of her at all. So since we finished, I have been spending so much time doing my Aunty duties and I adore it!"
"I have been on holiday with my family, spending quality time with my lovely boyfriend and doing lots of horse riding! I am enjoying having a break, and just trying to achieve that work/life balance! We start filming again in October, so come September, I will need to start retraining my body and mind as both will need a bit of a work out!"
Would you ever do a reality show?
"Never say never but I know that would need a whole new set of skills and I am not sure I possess them!"
Any other ambitions?
"I think theatre would be a good area for me to explore. I really feel like I learn a little more with each job I do and I believe it's all a process of gaining and utilising experience. Working with Ben Daniels, who has the most illustrious stage career, has been inspiring and I'd love to have a go!"
Alesha is very strong and independent. Do you feel like a role model to young aspiring actresses?
"I think inevitably with a job so firmly in the public eye, there will always be an element of that. Alesha is a strong, balanced, professional woman and I trust that sends a positive message."
Similarly I think playing a variety of parts is just as important to aspiring actresses, so there is merit in playing the not so strong and independent too! Whatever the part, if people look to me as a role model, it's a responsibility I don't take lightly."
Are you enjoying your 30's?
"Very much so! I am in a happy place right now with my career and on a personal level. But I do feel like I am heading towards a crossroads because I am 31 now and thinking a little more about the future. I'd love to have children and I'd love to work in America. But at the moment I'm really enjoying my time on Law & Order:UK. I've always been a fan of the franchise and I hope our version runs and runs!"

Law & Order SVU to Film on West Coast
Access Hollywood reports that Law & Order SVU will do some filming on the West Coast later this month with Mariska Hargitay. Filming will also include Skeet Ulrich as Detective Winters, an introduction to his Law & Order Los Angeles role.
It is the first time in SVU history to film on the west coast. But, Law & Order fans will know it's not a first in Law & Order "franchise" history as Law & Order had already filmed a "Los Angeles" themed episode trilogy in season 7 with "Showtime," "Turn Around," and "D-Girl" which had several scenes filmed in California.

Law & Order LA Casts Teri Polo in Recurring Role
TV Guide reports that Teri Polo has joined the cast of Law & Order: Los Angeles for a recurring role. She will play former cop Casey Winters, who is also the wife of Detective Rex Winters (Skeet Ulrich). A side note – I wish there would be consistency in Winter's name…some news stories list it as Rex, some NBC releases say John… I wonder which is correct?

Exhibition title: Attracted to Light
Artists: Mike and Doug Starn
Exhibition dates: September 26 - October 25, 2008
Exhibition space: Philip J. Steele Gallery
Fueled by their thoughtful investigations of art, philosophy, cognitive science and history, the Starns provoke an interrogation of Cartesian ontology with their unique melding of metaphor and material. From the transformation of a delicate drying leaf into a digital sculpture, or a moth etched onto film by light, its own undoing, the Starns' images thrum with the poetic tension between presence and absence, darkness and enlightenment.
Mike and Doug Starn, American artists, born New Jersey 1961. Working collaboratively with photography since age thirteen. They defy categorization by effectively combining traditionally separate disciplines such as sculpture, painting, video, and installation. Their conceptual approach to photography has earned them a unique position in the history of contemporary art. The 1987 Whitney Museum of American Art Biennial brought them international prominence. They since have had numerous survey solo exhibitions in museums and galleries worldwide.

Craig Kite and Brian Sheffield are two of the four members (along with Clairette Durand-Gasselin and Margaux Taleux) of the French-American editorial team for POST(blank), a handmade bilingual word-art publication from MadGleamPress. The magazine's first issue is set for release in September 2016 with a theme of "POST-Paper," and its website describes the content as highlighting "the conjoined strengths of text and image by publishing visual poetic pieces, visual poems, dialogues between artists of the two media, and excerpts of artist books. Besides that, we want to explore in each issue a problem, a term, a fact, a thing or an idea that influences our creativeness through articles, interviews, and/or fiction."
Kite and Sheffield have performed their poetry at several Nomadic Press showcases in Brooklyn, with Kite at Small Press Love Fest in June 2016, Sheffield at Difficult Poetry at Christopher Stout Gallery in March 2016, and both taking part in Dramatic Nomadic at Pine Box in June 2016 and Summer Writes at The Hollows in July 2016. They recently sat for an interview and discussed POST(blank), their favorite literary publications, and publishing a paper object in a digital age.
On starting MadGleamPress
"Brian...sort of struck me as this angelic Neal Cassady kind of character. He's one of those mad people that likes to burn like a roman candle. I was fascinated with him."
Craig: I started living in Monterey, California, where Brian Sheffield's from. I met him in a cafe and we immediately started talking about poetry. He sort of struck me as this angelic Neal Cassady kind of character. He's one of those mad people that likes to burn like a roman candle. I was fascinated with him. So he was starting a poetry scene in Monterey where there wasn't much of one. We became friends and started kicking around the idea of making a chapbook service for some of the poets around the area. So we would get some of the poets, produce chapbooks for them, and sell them in the street market. We wanted to make a name for that service and we spent hours just kicking names back and forth, which was a fun brainstorm, and we settled on MadGleamPress. Then I moved out here, and he moved out here, and our other lovely French counterparts got involved and we decided to make a magazine to get the press kind of propelled and get some participation. The idea is that eventually we would like to actually publish chapbooks as well under the name MadGleamPress. Then POST(blank) was born out of the idea of getting that going.
Brian: [In Monterey] There was already a whole slam thing going on for like 11 years centered around this guy by the name of Garland Lee Thompson, Jr. His father was a prominent theater actor in New York, and Garland got all into theater, and then he got into poetry, so he travelled all over the place reading and performing poetry. He did this whole thing in New York and Los Angeles with poetry on the subway trains and on the buses where people would just spontaneously start screaming poetry. So this guy starts doing something that's called The Rubber Chicken Poetry Slam. It's just like a poetry slam where everything's scored, but it's not based out of the whole National Poetry Slam situation, so nobody goes on and makes slam teams. It's just its own isolated thing in this case. So first place would win $20, second place would win $10, third place would win a rubber chicken. It was great, and a lot of people actively sought out the rubber chicken prize. I have like six of them. It was insane. So Garland's philosophy behind this was, "Nobody ever remembers the third place winners in these." So he wanted to do something that people would remember. Because everybody remembers first place. A lot of people remember second place. He wanted to make third place memorable. So this was like this isolated thing, and there were always people coming in and doing their own poetry thing. But there was not much of a poetry scene, per se, and I've always been interested in that. I've always been interested in being part of this community of artists. The community of artists in Monterey were less of, say, an active revolutionary force and more people painting beautiful portraits of the sea and the landscapes because Monterey, Carmel, and all of that area is so beautiful. So much of the art was based off of the landscape, mainly for tourists, and I was upset with that because I wanted there to be this bigger forum for young people that was not just isolated to the Monterey Bay. A forum where everybody can sort of be involved in the work, and people who come in and go out could kind of have a stake there. A sense of a voice. So even when I was going through the whole Rubber Chicken Poetry Slam, and it was based out of this place called The East Village Cafe—even then, I had an idea of just putting together a small zine with all the poets who went to East Village Cafe because they all connect, and it's great. So I just wanted to start putting this whole idea together of publishing them, distributing them around the Monterey area, and seeing where that went.
On publishing a bilingual zine
Brian: We'd like the overarching thing to be bilingual because, while Craig and I came up with the name and were like, "Oh yeah, let's do this," the whole idea of the actual magazine and then the push for actual movement towards it was a full collaborative effort. I think without Claire and Margaux, nothing would have really happened because, at least with me, I'm very idealistic. I'm like, "I'd love to do this! I want to do this!" But then I don't actually do it. So that's my problem. Meanwhile, Claire is very action-oriented and is like, "If you're going to do it, fucking do it," and she's gone on and done a lot of phenomenal work.
"We like to put a lot of the poetry and visual pieces on the same page and create a dialogue between it in the same way that we want to have the cultural exchange and the bilingual aspect..."
Craig: I speak Spanish pretty well because I spent time in Mexico and Guatemala when I was doing human rights work. I have written some poetry in Spanish, and I enjoy it because it's different. POST(blank) the magazine—really, part of the niche push there is to have the bilingual aspect and the cultural exchange. We like to put a lot of the poetry and visual pieces on the same page and create a dialogue between it in the same way that we want to have the cultural exchange and the bilingual aspect—also the European aspect with the American aspect from two different cultural hubs of New York and Paris. So just the visual aspect is unique in that way. The entire process has sort of been really influenced by that. Every issue of POST(blank) is also on a theme. The first one is on post-paper. I'll be writing articles and essays for each issue on a theme. So there's space to kind of give a political take to it, too, which is informed by the European and American perspectives coming together.
Brian: Immediately, by having a bilingual magazine, you spread the readership out (or at least the potential interest) to a wider range of people who may not necessarily have access to that other language. On top of that, New York (specifically, Brooklyn) has an enormous French community. Granted, there are also a lot of other communities out here. But since we speak English and French in this context, we thought that would be a great place to jump off of. I speak very, very little French. I've adopted a phrase "c'est ce que c'est," which is French basically for "it is what it is." It's just another way of saying "c'est la vie," but I like the way it falls off the tongue better. Because I love the phrase "it is what it is." I don't know if I want to say it's a philosophy of mine, but it's just something that I love to say because it seems to make sense to me. I also know how to say, "I am a man." "Je suis un homme," and that's really it.
"... it's less about our own contributions and more about that whole aspect of a global community of artists."
We each have our own pieces and our own work that we're going to contribute, which is important in its own right. But the big thing about it is building on the idea of that community. So it's less about our own work and more about the work of people who submit—and beyond that, it's more about creating this coherent narrative within each of the magazines that is generally attached to the theme but also attached to everybody who's submitting from all over the world. We've gotten people from all over the United States and plenty of people from France who've gone on to submit, which is very exciting. So it's less about our own contributions and more about that whole aspect of a global community of artists. Now, granted, it's mainly limited right now to New York and parts of France, but I personally would like to expand on that.
On issue #1 submissions
"Within the literary arts right now in the digital age, what does it mean to actually do a paper publication? Why do it?"
Craig: Every issue of POST(blank) is going to be "Post" and then another word. So this was post-paper. Within the literary arts right now in the digital age, what does it mean to actually do a paper publication? Why do it? What is it? What are the challenges to doing it? Why do you want to be in a paper publication in that world in this day and age?
The issue is looking like it will probably be about 100 pages, including all the art and poetry and essays and everything involved. So we got a good number of submissions and a lot of really high-quality stuff, which I'm really happy about. We really wanted to create an aesthetic and sort of a curatorial process, rather than just a catalogue. We were looking for something that reflected our sensibilities and our artistic biases, and we got a lot of stuff that is exactly what we were looking for and looks the way we wanted it to look. So we were very selective about what we chose, and we got a good selection.
On aesthetics
Brian: It's a dialogue between language and the visual aspect, so it's mainly centered around the idea of word art but also around the idea of seeing how words themselves will work with the visual aspect. So you'll have pieces that are themselves poetry, or just essays, but they'll be working in tandem with other visual submissions. Then we're also pushing for submissions of pieces that in themselves mix both language and the visual aspect. So a lot of collages, or a lot of pieces that are playing with, say, font or the way words look on the page with an image.
Craig: We want the literary selections to sort of narrate the visual aspect when we're creating an aesthetic. Claire has this phrase that she uses to describe her work: coherent eclecticism. She's very vocal in the selection process, and that really informs a lot of what we're creating. We want it to be a very dynamic aesthetic, but also be coalescing around a statement which is based on the theme—this time being post-paper. Next issue may be post-mortem.
On inspiring publications
Craig: One I'm really digging right now is NYSAI Press literary magazine, which is from Staten Island. A friend of mine, Thomas Fucaloro, is from Staten Island, and there's a really cool arts community out there. It doesn't really make it into the city a lot, but it's very exciting to go out there and see it. There's a lot of creativity. They have a publication called NYSAI literary magazine, and it also has a lot of visual arts along with the poetry that's happening there. I really like how they dialogue with each other. I also really like great weather for MEDIA. The poetry anthologies they put out are really cutting-edge. It's really up my alley, as far as sensibility. I also am excited about Newtown Literary journal. I live in Astoria and Newtown Literary journal is all Queens poets, and they have a really burgeoning literary community in the borough right now.
"When it comes to the actual aesthetic of mixing the language with the art, I think right now it would have to be NYSAI, GAMBAZine, and great weather for MEDIA's anthologies because they do a phenomenal job of that."
Brian: GAMBAZine is a big one. I've always liked Poetry Magazine as well. Poetry Magazine can definitely be a little bit on the side of the established world, though, if you will, which I always kind of have problems with to a certain degree. I think most people in literary presses kind of have issues with the world of the established magazine. I really like Rattle as well. I submitted to them for some of their contests. They'll charge like $15-20. But in response to that, it won't just be like a naked blanket charge. They'll also give you two or three issues of their magazines. I went through that, and I really loved the way it looked and the way it felt and what they were presenting there. Some of the poetry that they have is beautiful and phenomenal. But when it comes to the actual aesthetic of mixing the language with the art, I think right now it would have to be NYSAI, GAMBAZine, and great weather for MEDIA's anthologies because they do a phenomenal job of that.
"I want it to be something that when anybody looks at it, it really looks nice, it really looks contemporary and relevant, and there's this great sense of conversation within the entire piece, both visually and linguistically."
I do also get some influence from The New Yorker. Granted, that's another established thing. But there's some good poetry. They don't do as much poetry as they used to, though. Relatively recently, they did publish this really long poem by Philip Levine after he died, and it was this big, long, beautiful piece. But they have an interesting way of always adding a visual element to their articles and to the writing that they have to sort of keep the page from being just a wall of text, which can be daunting to look at sometimes. You get a magazine and you're not here to read a novel. You're here to take a look at this collaborative effort. So that's kind of what we're doing. We definitely have articles and essays and stories that we want to put in—we don't want it just to be poetry—but we still want it all to have a very visual feel so that, as you're flipping through it, there's this color and this language and this narrative that's being offered to you. We really want it to be this nice object that, when it's finished, you can go through it and you're not just looking for your personal submission and then putting it on the shelf and just being like, "I was published in that." I want it to be something that when anybody looks at it, it really looks nice, it really looks contemporary and relevant, and there's this great sense of conversation within the entire piece, both visually and linguistically.
On publishing a paper magazine
"We're going into this digital age where everything can be saved and everything's permanent, but there's something about having this piece right there in front of you that is, in its own sense, very temporary because all of these things are eventually going to degrade."
Brian: The last thing I ever want to do is discount Internet publications. Pop Serial—they put on a lot of good quality stuff. Great art. They had this amazing poem by Noah Cicero called "It is Okay to Feel Catastrophic" that I adored. Then there are a lot of other online publications that do great work. But I think at the same time, it's also really important to have something in your hands. Granted, a lot of people may argue, "Oh, it's the nostalgia factor." We're going into this digital age where everything can be saved and everything's permanent, but there's something about having this piece right there in front of you that is, in its own sense, very temporary because all of these things are eventually going to degrade. The GAMBAZine magazine that I have has already been torn apart just by going through it and reading it. I don't have many of the NYSAI magazines that I used to have because they've been torn apart. There's this relationship between yourself and the physical object that is lost in the realm of digital publications. Then on top of the whole tactile thing, there's an absolute consistency in the way that it looks. Because no matter what, every single magazine that you're going to have, the images are always going to be the same. Take a computer screen, though. Your screen could be messy or you may have a slow connection, and it could be a little choppy to look at sometimes. Or maybe it will be this beautiful, clear image. But in a magazine's case, it's consistent. It's always like that. No matter where you are with it, it always looks the same and you can always go back and you can take a look at that piece again and appreciate it in exactly the same way that you appreciated it the first time. Plus, the feel of it—to be able to touch the art. Granted, all art is best to look at in its raw form, there in person. But not many people have access to that. So books, or even Internet archives or anything like that, is basically the next best thing. But in this case, it's that sense of consistency and that sense of the relationship between the human and the object that you are interacting with.
"Paper is about touch. The physical relationship with the book sort of translates to the physical relationship with the people who are coming together around that object."
Craig: Paper is about touch. The physical relationship with the book sort of translates to the physical relationship with the people who are coming together around that object. The article I wrote for this issue is called, "Printing Your Own Social Capital: Small Press Publication as a Currency in a Fucking Bad Economy." It's about building a community, and participation. The Internet opens up a lot of access to see a lot of different kinds of art, but to have a physical community around a publication is something that I think is increasingly important. Also, after these submissions are sent in, having a filter in the form of a team of people curating these things and creating a dynamic artistic experience. It's an art unto itself. It's important to bring these communities of artists together in conversation and dialogue on the page.
On performing with paper
"The feel of how it looks on the page—that translates to how you perform it. Since I've been reading off the page more in my performances, it's really changed the way that I perform and read my poetry. "
Craig: Sometimes I make the mistake of not having enough time and not getting to print out my poem, and I have to read off the phone, and I hate that. It just feels a lot better, and looks a lot sexier, to be reading off the page. I used to just memorize everything, and I liked the freedom to be able to flow around and dance and do my poem off of my dome. But the way it is on the page comes out in the way you say it. The feel of how it looks on the page—that translates to how you perform it. Since I've been reading off the page more in my performances, it's really changed the way that I perform and read my poetry.
Brian: Poetry inherently has a visual element to it in the way that it's constructed. Where the line breaks are, how you work the punctuation in terms of the rhythm, or even dissect that rhythm with, say, a period in the middle of a line that will create a sense of tension. So there's always this very physical and visual element to poetry to begin with. Normally, I love performing. So normally I would prefer to memorize my pieces because then I get this great freedom to move my body about, and it becomes a relationship between the language and the body. But when I print it out, there's always something weird going on. There will be all caps in certain areas where I'm supposed to yell, because I fucking love yelling. There will be weird line breaks in pieces where I'm supposed to just fall into a place or stop and then move into another area. So the way that the poem looks sort of guides the way that I read it.
You can do certain things with the paper that can make it seem more dramatic as a reading because there's a lot of drama in poetry—there really is. So I don't do this very often, but I have done it where I'm reading the piece, and it's 2, 3, 4 pages long, and after I finish a page I just kind of throw it out and continue going or just wrinkle it up and throw it. There's a clear relationship between you and the paper and the words. Because it's so easy to sit down and read a poem in front of an audience off of the page and just be blank when you're reading it and hope that the audience absorbs nothing but the words. But as poets, we're also performers. We go up there and read our poems, and we are at that point performers. Kind of like entertainers in a way. If you'll bring it down to the most banal point, you're an entertainer.
"When I have paper in front of me, I try to create this clear relationship between me, my paper, my words, and the actual performance. So there's all these things happening at once that I'm trying to convey."
So people go there to hear poetry and to hear profound stuff, or listen to how this person speaks and what this person is thinking that they are not saying in their everyday speech. So there's this interesting entertainment factor to it. But beyond that, when you perform with the paper in mind, then the paper becomes extremely important. When you read and the paper is there, and you're just trying to do the language, then the paper is irrelevant. When I have paper in front of me, I try to create this clear relationship between me, my paper, my words, and the actual performance. So there's all these things happening at once that I'm trying to convey. Sometimes I succeed, and sometimes I don't. But overall, you work with what you have. No matter what, when you have things, you use them all. The paper is not just supposed to sit there. Everything has to be used.

Britain's Nr 1 supermarket have unleashed a multi-culti "can of worms" because they stupidly priced a black doll cheaper than a white doll; idiots. Now it seems the UK are to go completely colourless and even the pop world is feeling the "wind of change".
Paul McCartney's pop classic duet with Stevie Wonder has been banned because it refers to the "difference" and from now on there are to be no differences!
Michael Jackson's "Black and White" has also got the chop because he didn't know what he was, black or white. Jack black and Jack White have been banned from entering the country unless they change their names, but Black Sabbath are safe.
Other pop classics like; Black is Black, Paint it black, Black magic woman, etc, are OK, because there are no differences just black. But Procul Harem's 60's classic, "A whiter shade of pale" has been booted out because it refers to white going pale (no wonder in this day and age)) and it just fails to reach the racial acceptance criteria.
Liquorice allsorts with white coconut middles have also been banned and are now being removed from supermarket shelves to be replaced by the ones with pink middles, which are acceptable because the majority of Brits are pretty pink anyway.
Oh for the old days when everything was just so "black and white" (excuse the pun)!

New Deadpool IMAX trailer is here, and it's spectacular/
With The Force Awakens under our belts, it's now officially Deadpool season. No, you say? It's still Star Wars season? Well, whatever, here's a little Deadpool IMAX trailer peak for you anyway.
I love the 12 Days of Deadpool celebration. Deadpool drops in theaters nationwide Feb. 12, and the promotional team has been knocking it out of the park with this holiday-themed (sort of) celebration.
If you've missed any of the Merc with a Mouth's hijinks, be sure to catch up on the film's Facebook and Twitter accounts. We've seen Deadpool rock a fabulous Christmas sweater, look back on the year that was and, my personal favorite, a page from the movie's script with notes from Deadpool himself.

Initial situation
8500 practitioners put their trust in the almost 90 years of experience offered by the Ärztliche Verrechnungsstelle Büdingen clearing house (PVS) with respect to the settlement of their private invoices. In 2008, PVS was faced with the decision to acquire a new electronic archive, as the existing system was not scalable and was no longer being developed sufficiently. The transfer of existing data represented a particular challenge as far as migration to a new system was concerned. The reason for this was that the data had been stored in various ways and in different data formats in the old system.

Peugeot will unveil an autonomously guided electric concept at the Paris Motor Show 2018 inspired by the lines of the legendary Peugeot 504, here is the Peugeot e-Legend Concept.
Peugeot e-Legend Concept Overview
Even Peugeot embraces and explores electric drive and does so with e-Legend Concept, a self-driving hyper-technological coupé where the design explores the new possibilities offered by a propulsion released from the constraints of thermal engines. The car is inspired by the legendary 504 Coupé magazine and reinterpreted in a modern way. Light and tapered lines, a cabin more moved towards the rear, large windows. The front is distinguished by a shining luminous signature, the whole front bumper is grafted on the front fenders and is clearly separated by a black aluminum crossbeam, a legacy of chrome-plated stainless steel bumpers.
The same shape of the headlights is revived at the rear with the third brake light positioned above the rear window. Very wide glazing, always inspired by the historic Coupé, wheel arches carved in negative with the front one that integrates an air passage. The whole is emphasized by a metal arch that surrounds the side windows and amplifies the recessed rear window. Finally, externally on the third riser there is a screen that communicates to the users of the car different information, including the state of charge of the battery, while the doors open with a tactile command.
The futuristic e-Legend Concept is 4,650 mm long, 1,930 mm wide, 1,370 mm high and features a 2,690 step. Equipped with 19-inch diameter wheels and Michelin tires in a standard car size. The interiors are elegant, bright and digital. Velvet and wood, a particular wood from renewable forests, a modern reinterpretation of this material that recalls the planks of the GT fittings of the PEUGEOT 3008, 5008 and 508.
The center console allows access to the main driving functions by means of a rotary control and a 6-inch touchscreen. To the left of the steering wheel, a small bar with digital keys to be configured according to the driving mode. The design of the H-shaped seats and the vertical padding are always inspired by the PEUGEOT 504 Coupé. It could not miss the Peugeot i-Cockpit, Reverse Responsive, the latest evolution that offers a 3-quadrant head-up display and an ultra-compact steering wheel.
Peugeot e-Legend Concept Performance
The concept of the Casa del Leone stems from the realistic vision of the transition aimed at the sustainable mobility of the French brand. Peugeot e-Legend Concept is equipped with 100 kWh batteries, capable of delivering a torque of 800 Nm and a power of 340 kW (462 hp) distributed on the four-wheel drive. A level of performance that allows the transalpine car to cover 0/100 km / h in less than 4 seconds and reach a top speed of 220 km / h. The autonomy is 600 km according to the WLTP protocol, of which 500 km can be obtained in 25 minutes thanks to a fast induction charge.

What would it be like to learn from Craig Mitchell, SIEAM's President and faculty member?
A New Understanding of Enuresis and Urinary Incontinence
Enuresis is frequently encountered in children, while urinary incontinence is generally encountered in the elderly. Because the kidney controls urine and stool, and the urinary bladder governs restraint [of urine], our ancestors viewed these problems as being related to these organs. However, I have achieved satisfactory clinical results by treating enuresis and incontinence through the liver and the lungs.
1. Discussion and Treatment from the Liver
The liver channel wraps around the genitals, so diseases of the lower source are related to the liver channel. The liver body is yïn, but its activity is yáng; further, the body is blood and the activity is qì. The liver stores the blood in order to nourish the body and it courses the qì in order to fulfill this activity. If the liver loses it coursing and draining activity, at first there will be qì stagnation, and then eventually, blood stasis. When qì and blood cease to move freely through the liver channel, the qì and blood fail to nourish the genitals. As a result, the urinary bladder loses its normal control and there is urinary incontinence. In clinic, I often use Drive out Blood Stasis in the Mansion of Blood Decoction (xuè fû zhú yü täng) , which although a blood-moving formula, also contains medicinals to course the liver and regulate the qì. This formula normalizes the outward movement of the liver, such that qì and blood flow smoothly, which then causes the incontinence to cease. In cases where there is also debility of the lower source, I often add Fluoritum (zî shí yïng) and Allii tuberosi Semen (jiû cài zî) . If there is sinking of the qì mechanism, then I add Cimicifugae Rhizoma (shëng má).
Case 1: Ms. Dàn, 17 years old: She reported enuresis off and on for the last six years. She had a dry mouth, recurrent low-grade fever, and frequent dreams. She showed evidence of stasis macules and her pulse was fine, wiry, and slightly rapid. Her tongue was purplish red with a thin slimy fur. She had unsuccessfully tried formulas to supplement qì and boost the kidney. These only made the excess more excess, when what was required was to course the liver, regulate the qì, quicken the blood, and transform stasis.
Formula: Rehmanniae Radix (shëng dì huáng) 15, Angelicae sinensis Radix (däng guï) 9, Chuanxiong Rhizoma (chuän xiöng) 9, Carthami Flos (hóng huä) 9, Persicae Semen (táo rén) 9, Paeoniae Radix rubra (chì sháo) 9, Bupleuri Radix (chái hú) 6, Platycodi Radix (jié gêng) 6, Aurantii Fructus (zhî ké) 6, Allii tuberosi Semen (jiû cài zî) 9, Cimicifugae Rhizoma (shëng má) 6, and Glycyrrhizae Radix (gän câo) 3.
After about one month on this formula, the enuresis and all the other symptoms had resolved.
2. Discussion and Treatment from the Lungs
The lungs are the officer of passage, they regulate outward movement, and they control the qì of the whole body. There are no channels that do not reach them and no organs that do not transfer through them. The lungs are also the upper source of water. They connect with the urinary bladder through qì transformation. When the lung qì diffuses properly, qì moves and thus water moves. Fluids are distributed throughout the body and the waterways are free flowing. The flow of the urine is intimately related to the lungs. If the lung qì is congested and stagnant, qì transformation fails to reach throughout the body, the urinary bladder loses restraint, and the result is incontinence. I like to use Ephedra, Apricot Kernel, Gypsum, and Licorice Decoction (má xìng shí gän täng) in order to clear and diffuse the lung qì, open and regulate the waterways, descend into the urinary bladder, open the qì transformation throughout the body, and unblock the upper so as to reach the lower. If the qì dynamic is also constrained, as Aurantii Fructus (zhî ké) and Platycodi Radix (jié gêng) ; if the qì is deficient and stagnant, add Astragali Radix (huáng qí) , Codonopsis Radix (dâng shën) , and Cimicifugae Rhizoma (shëng má) .
Case 2: Ms. Wu, 55 years old: She reports one month of incontinence, mostly during sleep. When it is mild, it happens once per night and when severe, three times per night. It often happens between the hours of 11 p.m.-3 a.m.. She also reports incontinence with coughing or sneezing. She had previously tried formulas to warm and supplement, as well as astringent formulas, all without success. She is fatigued and lacks strength. She also reports chest oppression and rib-side distention, and cough with yellow sticky phlegm that is difficult to expectorate. Her tongue is red with a thin yellow fur. Her pulse is fine and wiry. This pattern belongs to liver constraint transforming to fire, upwardly harassing the lungs, and causing lung heat so that the lungs lose control of the water pathways. It is appropriate to clear the lungs and course the liver.
Formula: Ephedrae Herba (má huáng) 6, Armeniacae Semen (xìng rén) 10, Gypsum fibrosum (shí gäo) 30 (precook), Glycyrrhizae Radix (gän câo) 3, Atractylodis macrocephalae Rhizoma (bái zhú) 10, Paeoniae Radix alba (bái sháo) 10, Saposhnikoviae Radix (fáng fëng) 6, Citri reticulatae Pericarpium (chén pí) 6, Cimicifugae Rhizoma (shëng má) 3, Puerariae Radix (gé gën) 6.
After 5 packs of herbs, the incontinence was improved. She took the same formula for one more week and the incontinence ceased.

Looking for a "last of the summer" fun activity? Try making paper airplanes and having a contest on who can get it to fly the furthest. My children and I made airplanes yesterday using an Origami pattern and paper. We always use a paper staple to keep them together through a lot of use. I found the pattern in an old book I got when I was in second grade. We probably did at least 10 different rounds. Each time we had a different winner.
To make these airplanes, you use a rectangle shaped paper. (Typically you have to cut off a quarter of a square shaped Origami paper.) Fold in half. Fold the top corners into the center line.
Now fold that triangle down about 2/3 of the way.
Now fold the corners in again, as indicated.
Here's the trick that really gives this plane "flyability" (to coin a phrase). Fold the little bit of the first point over the new points for stability.
Now fold the plane in half so that the colored parts are together.
All you have left to do now, is fold your wings in on each side along the dotted line.
Congratulations, you've made an awesome paper airplane that flies well. Enjoy some fun times with your kiddos.
Tip: If you need to staple the plane, I usually do so towards the middle where that little triangle is folded over. Have fun!

Brentford Vs Charlton Athletic, Sat 2 Oct 2010
Veteran striker Nicky Forster hopes to line up against one of his old clubs when Brentford host Charlton.
Forster, who spent the second half of last season on loan at The Valley, needs a groin operation but has been asked to delay going under the knife with the Bees struggling at the foot of the table.
Charlie MacDonald, another former Addicks frontman, is sidelined with an ankle injury so Forster is in line to start alongside either Gary Alexander or Carl Cort.
Boss Andy Scott could also be without midfielder Toumani Diagouraga, who is struggling with flu.
Huddersfield loanee Robbie Simpson misses out again with a hamstring injury and midfielder David Hunt remains on the sidelines with damaged ankle ligaments.
Christian Dailly and Rob Elliot are back for Charlton.
Skipper Dailly resumed training on Monday after missing five matches with a fractured eye socket and could go straight in at centre-half.
Goalkeeper Elliot is also fit again after injuring his elbow in training a fortnight ago and will hope to oust his replacement Ross Worner.
Striker Joe Anyinsah is doubtful after suffering a recurrence of a back injury during the warm-up ahead of Tuesday night's win over MK Dons.
Paul Benson, who opened his Charlton goalscoring account against the Dons, continues in attack.
Midfielder Alan McCormack will be out for another 10 days with a calf problem and full-backs Chris Solly (ankle) and Kelly Youga (knee) are still missing.

Eurozone finance ministers and the International Monetary Fund have tried twice to establish a long-term plan for Greece. Now it is ready - but it may be too ambitious.
This agreement took three attempts and many night shifts. But unlike last week's failed meeting, the rings around everyone's eyes weren't quite as dark - and the relief was even greater. Eurogroup leader Jean-Claude Juncker said at a press conference afterwards, the new deal was about more than money - it was the "promise of a better future for the Greek people and the entire eurozone."
EU Monetary Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn added that the bloc had passed a credibility test, "that we simply could not fail."
No debt cut
To ease Greece's debt burden, the euro states agreed to lower interest rates, extend deadlines, and pass on profits from Greek bonds to Greece. But a call from International Monetary Fund head Christine Lagarde for debt relief from public creditors - a so-called haircut - was resisted, particularly by Germany.
Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble almost indignantly ruled this out on his arrival in Brussels; after all, he argued, the eurozone was already providing guarantees to Greece. "You can't guarantee something if you're also cutting debt at the same time," he said, adding that it was a "bad habit" of the media to present this as a typically German problem. "It's the same for all the eurozone member states," he said,
Despite not getting what she had hoped for, Lagarde came out of the meeting satisfied. She said the main thing for the IMF was achieving a sustainable level of debt, and that the "euro partners had to do what was necessary." This, she said, was achieved.
Ambitious debt reduction plan
With this relief to Greece's debt burden, tied to further Greek reform promises, the donor countries expect the debt level to reach a peak in 2016, and then fall to 124 percent of gross domestic product by 2020, and then "significantly" less than 110 percent by 2022.
Analysts consider 120 percent just about sustainable, but that is still twice as high as what was set as the upper limit by Europe's stability pact and the original Maastricht Treaty. But the massive reduction of the debt level - particularly the huge fall in the two years from 2020 to 2022 - is considered both extremely ambitious and difficult to predict, considering the long-term time plans being made.
The future of Greece's economy, which has deteriorated sharply in the past few years, seems impossible to predict over more than ten years. The fact that the finance ministers do not necessarily trust their own forecasts was evident in remarks by Schäuble. "If necessary, we will discuss further measures for the reduction of the total debt," he said.
Critics say that the taxpayer will probably have to take a debt cut at some point, though Schäuble is hoping that that will only happen after next September's German election.
Praise for Greece
The ministers, at least, were full of praise for Greece's attempts at reforms and budget cuts. Austrian Finance Minister Maria Fekter, who used to regularly hurl venomous barbs at the country, acknowledged that Greece had "worked very hard - we really can't complain about Greece at the moment."
But she did betray some suspicion. "There will have to be accompanying checks - both in terms of the payments and the structure of reforms," she said. Schäuble said he could take this deal to the German parliament in good conscience. The Bundestag, as well as other European parliaments, must still approve the deal. The latest tranche from the ongoing bailout package for Greece could then be released in mid-December.
Eurozone finance ministers held a marathon 12-hour session to hammer out a deal on Greek debt reduction. But the rabbits they pulled out of the proverbial hat won't last long, says DW's Bernd Riegert. (27.11.2012)
As eurozone ministers meet to find a solution for the continuing Greek crisis, there's a sense that it's now or never. But there's still disagreement on the right policy. (26.11.2012)
Luxembourg's Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker is not surprised that the EU ended its summit without agreeing on a budget. He discussed the consequences in a DW interview. (23.11.2012)

Press Statement: Stop the Hate Speech and Stigmatisation (12 Mar 2018)
Go to :
Media > Media Statements
<< Back
The Joint Action Group for Gender Equality (JAG) denounces in the strongest terms all forms of harassment and violence against the participants of the Women's March 2018 (#WomensMarchMY), whether perpetrated virtually or physically. We call for the government, policy makers and law enforcers to ensure proper investigation against the harassers and to decry these acts of bullying and abuses.
The Women's March on 10 March, was a collective effort by women's rights advocates, organisations and coalitions, organised in conjunction with International Women's Day (IWD). The march has five demands. They are to: 1) Eliminate gender-based discrimination; 2) Eradicate rape culture and sexual-based violence; 3) Strengthen women's political participation and democratic rights; 4) Eradicate environmental degradation, and; 5) Ensure equal opportunities and wages. Hundreds of spirited Malaysians, predominantly women, marched on the street with placards championing an array of issues, including, among others, migrant and domestic workers' rights; against domestic violence; against sexual and gender based violence; for women's leadership; indigenous women's rights; LGBTIQ rights; for women's bodily autonomy; against biased trade agreements; for greater women's political participation and many, many more.
It is extremely disturbing and utterly unacceptable that participants of a peaceful and inclusive march calling for gender equality and non-discrimination are attacked and harassed, both online and on the ground. Volunteers and staff of Women's Aid Organisation (WAO) were seen harassed and intimidated by four men, who identified themselves as 'pro-government NGOs' in front of Dang Wangi police station.
Two of them are identified as Baha Taha and Alan Ridzuan (Ridzuan Radin Alan Tiger on Facebook), and their own video recording of how they chased and threatened the participants from WAO was uploaded to their Facebook account and shared through their Facebook posts. Their arrogance clearly indicated that they expect that they and their acts of intimidation to be protected by the government.
We also continue to see the reoccurrence of online harassment and violence against participants.
This year, toxicity and violence showed its face again on social media and participants of the march were belittled, ridiculed, sexualised, harassed, name-called and body-shamed. In some posts, extremist, rape, hate and violent comments and threats were made. The LGBTIQ people were specifically targeted. Some of the worst allegations was the disbelief that women are paid lower than men, and a number made fun about the demand to eradicate Malaysia's rape culture and sexual-based violence.
Historically and globally, on International Women's Day, women have come together with the marginalised and with men who are unafraid of gender equality for events, strikes, and marches to celebrate our struggles and collective power in making changes in different ways, to advocate for gender equality and women's rights. It could not be emphasised enough that participation in the Women's March is legal, legitimate and an inherent human rights to all.
It is important to note that while these attacks are heightened and reactionary towards #WomensMarchMY, they are, however, not new. They are part of an on-going and everyday occurrence faced by women, LGBTIQ individuals, and those who advocate for gender equality.
The increased visibility of the 2018's Women's March and a higher number of participants, as compared to a smaller turnout last year, have also brought about a more severe attack. It goes to show that how much time, effort and energy some individuals are willing to put in to punish and silence women who dare to be speak out or claim their public space, whether it is on the street or on social media.
The internet has made it easier for us to connect, engage and critique. The feminists and women's rights activists do not expect zero debate and exchange. In fact, robust discussions on women's rights and feminism are highly welcomed and encouraged. Unfortunately, many of those who disagree with the Women's March resort to uninformed, personal, highly emotional and destructive comments, threats and speeches. The harassment and violence in response to #WomensMarchMY only show how toxic the environment is, and the challenges faced by women and minorities in asserting their rights to public and political participation, freedom of expression and freedom of assembly.
The time for silence is long over. If we want to build a developed nation where people of all genders have equal access to opportunities and resources, those in power need to act against the harassers and those who perpetuate hate speech and incite violence. JAG urges the government, law and policy makers and law enforcers to speak up against such hostile actions and violence against Women's March. We call for all Malaysians to resist normalisation of such sexual and gender-based harassment and violence, not only towards the participants of the Women's March, but to women, LGBTIQ individuals and all in our everyday lives. We stand in solidarity with everyone who participated in #WomensMarchMY. Many men who are unafraid of gender equality joined us on the 10
We ask you to stand in solidarity too.
What you can do:
Tag your Members of Parliament on social media and urge them to denounce such hostile actions and violence against participants of the Women's March.
Flourish your social media, Twitter especially, with positive messages about the Women's March or work done by local feminists and women's rights groups using #WomensMarchMY and #WanitaBangkit
Join Women's Aid Organisation's social media campaign #BangApaHal?! to highlight the absurdity of these persistent attacks against women and men who speak out against gender inequality and patriarchal norms and values.
Support and endorse the Women's Manifesto at
The Women's Manifesto is a document of women's demands in Malaysia. There are 10 themes in the manifesto, and of relevance here is the demand for the elimination of sexual and gender-based violence and harassment.

Dry Beans
Dry Beans
Background: The California dry bean industry is important for agriculture in the San Joaquin and Sacramento Valley. Three major bean types are grown, blackeye, lima, and kidney, with total bean production occurring on 80,000 to 100,000 acres annually. The industry relies on high production and excellent quality beans to maintain a competitive position in the world market. To achieve these objectives, arthropod pests must be kept to a minimum level so beans can be free of damage including bean discoloration, scarring, and yield losses. Beans are a host to numerous damaging pests. Aphids (Aphis fabae and A. craccivora), lygus bugs (Lygus hesperus), leafhoppers (Empoasca spp.) and beet armyworms (Spodoptera exigua) are primary pests and spider mites (Tetranychus spp.) and leafminers (Liriomyza spp.) are, in most cases, induced secondary pests. The list of insecticides recommended for control of bean pests is mostly organophosphates and carbamate materials, many of which are under scrutiny from regulatory agencies. The early and frequent use of these broad-spectrum insecticides often creates a disruption in the predator/pest balance and causes other pest problems.
Examples of Work during Recent Years
- To design a management plan that utilizes reduced-risk materials.
- Designing efficient sampling plans for lygus bugs.
- To examine lygus bug levels and appropriate sampling technique on bush vs. vine lima beans.
- To evaluate the effectiveness and mechanism of breeding lines of lima beans with lygus bug resistance.
