It's that time of the year again when the leaves come off, the weather makes us want to hide under a blanket and all we want to eat is pumpkin-related. There's this atmosphere outside and it can only mean that a certain holiday is coming closer. Yes, I'm talking about ghosts, vampires, zombie brides and a lot of cut out pumpkins – Halloween!
I must say, Halloween isn't a common holiday in the Netherlands. Children don't dress up and go out on the streets to collect loads of candy. But the holiday is becoming more popular every year. This year, the shops are full of Halloween stuff and there are more activities than ever before.
What to do on Halloween?
Feeling like celebrating this scary day but have no plans yet? I can help you out! Try one of these activities.
Where to party?
Halloween is all about dressing up. What are you going to be this year? A Game of Thrones character, an emoji (Modern Family's Luke can give you the right example) or maybe a pregnant Kylie Jenner. Whatever you decide to go with, show your look at one of these amazing Halloween parties:
> Halloween Cantus
Want to show your creepy side and drink a lot of beer? Join the ESN Halloween Cantus at Club Poema on the 31th of October! Dress up as a clown, zombie or vampire (or just cut two holes in a sheet) because, on this night, a frightening outfit is a must.
> Red Cup Party
This party promises to be a crazy one! At Tivoli Vredenburg you can go to the Red Cup Party, which is full of freak shows, scarezones, horror movies and creepy tales. Do you dare?
> Utrecht Halloween Madness
Dress up for this crazy party at the legendary Winkel van Sinkel on the 28th of October. Dance to the best 90's and 00's hits, classics and R&B during the Utrecht Halloween Madness party and have the best fright night of your life.
Where to get the real-life creeps?
If you want to have a fully Halloween experience, including a lot of creepy creatures, screaming your lungs out and scare yourself like crazy, choose one of these activities.
> Walibi Halloween Fright Nights
Feeling like riding a rollercoaster in the dark? Get ready for the Halloween Fright Nights at amusement park Walibi Holland. Everything seems normal during the day, but wait until it gets dark… The creepiest creatures will take over the park while you are enjoying all the attractions. There are even special haunted houses to creep the hell out of you. Goosebumps guaranteed! Note: get your tickets online in advance.
> Halloween Nightmares
If you're in for a big scare, visit Halloween Nightmares at shopping mall The Wall in Utrecht. It's the biggest haunted house of the Benelux with over 30 rooms full of creepy clowns, freaks, magicians and other crazy weirdo's. It's promising to be really exciting!
What to watch?
And if you don't feel like partying (or even leaving your house), there's only one thing you need: Netflix. Gather with your friends, bring a lot of chocolate and candy, make yourself comfortable on the couch (or bed, we're still students) and choose one of these scary titles, which are currently on Netflix:
> American Horror Story
If you can't get enough of horror, this show is perfect for you. You'll see everything that's creepy: from haunted houses to ghosts and from circus artists to cults. Pick your favourite theme, because every season is a different story.
> Gerald's Game
We all know that Stephen King is responsible for all of our nightmares with his creepy horror stories as Carrie, The Shining and It. Another story has been made into a movie: Gerald's Game. It's about a couple that wants to spice up their sex life by renting a cabin in the middle of nowhere. That can only lead to trouble.
> Little Evil
Are you a big fan of dark humor? Then this movie could be the perfect fit for you. Gary just married the woman of his dreams, but there's one downside: her son is kind of the antichrist.
> Prom Night
If you think this movie sounds like a nice rom-com, you're wrong. Prom Night is about a sadistic murderer that turns the perfect night for these teenagers in a nightmare.
> The Ouija Experiment
Did you ever play spin the bottle? Then you must know how creepy that can be (even though you don't believe in ghosts, you still pee your pants). This movie took 'spin the bottle' to the next level. Can you still sleep tonight?

Snack Review
Buy potato chips on Amazon #ad
Taste test: These potato chips a wide variety of colors on their surfaces, ranging from a bright yellow to largely brown, plus many dark spots, with some wiggly shapes and bits of skin on the edges.
I crunched in to find a loud crunch with pretty good crispness. I was expecting lots of intense sour lemon flavor after reading the back of the bag, but the actual flavor was fairly subdued. There was a bit of lemon and a bit of vinegar, mixed in with the usual salt and potato taste. The inclusion of lemon at all made it fairly unusual for potato chips, but they really didn't go over the top with the flavor. Not that bold, but still pretty good.
Shop: Buy potato chips on Amazon #ad
Smell test: Very slightly lemony.

Following the festive, yet awe-inspiring Divine Revelation at Sinai, Parashat Mishpatim jumps straight in at the deep end of Jewish law. In this parashah, we make a sharp transition from the lofty world of spirituality to the criminal underworld.
The Finer Details
Moses engraved the Ten Commandments that we received at Sinai onto two tablets of stone. As we saw in Parashat Yitro, the commandments are vessels that contain the great spiritual lights that we experienced. The descent from the heights of Divine revelation into mundane reality begins with the difference between the commandments on the right-hand tablet and those on the left-hand tablet. The first five commandments (on the right) deal with spiritual generalities, such as faith in God and Shabbat observance. The second five commandments (on the left) descend into our lowly everyday life.
In Parashat Mishpatim, the descent into reality is even more pronounced. For example, the eighth commandment is a general prohibition: "Do not steal." Parashat Mishpatim expands on the laws of theft, teaching us how a thief must reimburse his victim with twice the value of the item stolen. If the item is livestock, he must pay a quadruple or quintuple fine for slaughtering or selling it. The laws pertaining to burglars are specified in detail in this Torah portion, together with many other laws. This paves the way for the broad spectrum of details discussed in the Oral Torah.
The sharp difference between the momentous revelation of God in Parashat Yitro and the down-to-earth legalities of Parashat Mishpatim, reflects two aspects of the Torah. Some individuals live on the spiritual peaks of Mt. Sinai. They might find it difficult to integrate the fine details of the law. Other individuals prefer the legal give-and-take. For them, the Revelation at Sinai may not be something to ponder upon.
As different as they seem, both aspects of the Torah are one. They represent two sides of the same state of perfection. To emphasize this identity, Parashat Mishpatim immediately follows Parashat Yitro; as the sages state,
And these are the laws that you shall place before them… "And these" adds to the previous ones. Just as the previous [laws] were from Sinai, so these too are from Sinai. (Rashi)
What is the secret that unites the Torah's spiritual and legal aspects?
Infinity at Sinai
Chassidic teachings explain that at Sinai God's limitless nature was revealed. "When God gave the Torah, He opened the seven heavens for them, and just as He parted the upper ones, so He parted the lower ones, and they saw that He is the 'Single One.'" At Sinai, God tore down the limitations of the mundane world to reveal His singularity and His infinitude. The revelation of God's infinity was so absolute that the souls of the Jewish people, bound in their physical bodies, were unable to contain it. "With every commandment that God spoke, the souls of Israel left them." Yet, God miraculously returned their souls to their bodies, and they remained alive.
The Finiteness of God's Infinity
The breathtaking revelation at Sinai gave us a glimpse of infinity. This was the revelation of God's limitless nature. In contrast, Parashat Mishpatim reveals His ability to be limited by the finite. To explain this sentence, we will touch upon a profound subject discussed in Kabbalah and Chassidut.
Human intellect is limited. By nature, we cannot perceive the essence of infinity. For example, we might imagine millions and trillions of stars in the universe, but we cannot truly imagine an infinite number of stars.
Moreover, to the human mind, something that is limited cannot be unlimited at the same time. There is an essential contradiction between the finite and infinity. This creates an existential paradox: if God is infinite, then He cannot be finite; therefore, His infinity is limited! Expressed more simply, if God is perfect, He must also be imperfect; but, if He is imperfect, then He is not perfect! This defies human logic.
Kabbalah explains this conundrum by teaching us that God is the ultimate paradox of all paradoxes. By creating our reality, which is governed by limits, the Almighty demonstrates that His infinity is so all-encompassing that it contains both the power of finite limitation together with boundless infinity.
The Torah that was revealed at Sinai is the essence of God. It contains both aspects of His paradoxical nature: the finite and the infinite.
The Finiteness of the Torah's Laws
God's power of limitation manifests in the revealed dimension of the Torah. This reaches its apex in the monetary laws of Parashat Mishpatim. Someone who studies the fine details of halachah is occupied with the Creator's finite dimension. Here at ground-level, the Torah's legal dimension fashions our mundane life.
If you feel more attracted to studying Parashat Yitro than poring over a page of Talmud, you may be suited to studying Chassidut. The inner dimension of the Torah and its secrets diffuses an aroma of unlimited spirituality that aspires to reach the essence of God. We link to this boundlessness by studying Kabbalah and Chassidut, which deal with the infinite "Giver of the Torah."
At Sinai, the unlimited nature of God was revealed, exposing the hidden dimension of the Torah. In Parashat Mishpatim, God's limited nature is revealed through the many detailed laws, but the Torah's hidden dimension is concealed.
The revealed and concealed dimensions of the Torah are like two sides of the same coin. When one is revealed, the other remains hidden from view. Yet, the greatest Torah scholars in every generation have always embraced both dimensions. Usually, one aspect is evident to all, while the other remains concealed. Many great Kabbalists present books on Kabbalah in their lounge, but a large library of halachic literature lies hidden in an inner closet. For such a sage, Kabbalah—the concealed dimension—is revealed and halachah—the revealed dimension—is concealed, as when God revealed Himself at Sinai. In contrast, many of the greatest halachic authorities hide a vast collection of books on Kabbalah in an inner sanctum, which they also study in depth. They are publicly known as teachers of the Torah's revealed dimension, but in private, they are also students of its hidden aspect.
The great challenge of our generation is to unite the revealed and concealed dimensions of the Torah. We must study Talmud in depth, or a paragraph in the Shulchan Aruch, together with the relevant topics addressed by the inner dimension. We must also strive to study the revealed facets of the Torah's hidden dimension. Our generation is called upon to unite Parashat Mishpatim with Parashat Yitro. By connecting the two paradoxical aspects of His Torah, we will reveal how God is at once both infinite and finite.

Intimate brutality: the epidemic of domestic violence
Domestic violence has reached epidemic proportions in Australia and is now the leading preventable cause of injury and death in women under 45. In the lead up to International Women's Day, Sunday Extra speaks to a panel of experts dedicated to creating change.
The statistics are a jarring indictment on Australia's lack of substantive progress in the area of domestic violence. With more than two women murdered by an intimate partner each week, it's difficult to understand why the public continues to see the issue as a niche concern.
'It's an amazing bit of othering,' says Amy Gray, a freelance journalist who has published widely on the topic. 'When we describe it as an aberration or something that happens to other people, we effectively say this is not an incredibly dangerous, widespread issue that needs to be managed, that needs to be fought.'
There seems to be a resistance to hear the female voice on this subject. It seems to be a case of packaging it as something that is palatable for men rather than presenting an opportunity to unpack a challenge for men.Amy Gray, journalist
Recent governmental action on combating domestic violence has been mixed. Prime Minister Tony Abbott announced the creation of an advisory panel to prevent violence against women last month.
Led by Australian of the Year Rosie Batty and former Victorian police chief Ken Lay, the panel was fortified by a $100 million commitment to roll out a national action plan over the next four years. The PM has stressed the need for the commonwealth and states to agree on a standardised approach to police protection.
Although the move was welcomed by domestic violence campaigners, it came on the back of 2014 funding cuts which affected peak bodies and key service providers. Advocacy bodies continue to call for a royal commission into the issue, which they say would be a sign of governmental commitment to lasting change.
'With an issue like this you need short-term fixes now, you need to have those services that are out there: counselling support, services for homelessness,' says Samantha Trenoweth, editor of Fury: Women Write about Sex, Power and Violence.
'In the long term it's really a matter of fixing society, of fixing those really big issues about the way we see women and men.'
Danny Blay, a family violence prevention consultant and former executive officer of No to Violence, agrees that this is a complex issue which requires both immediate and longer-term initiatives from government, alongside community-wide engagement.
'When talking about preventing violence against women I think it's really easy to talk about law and order,' he says. 'It's much more difficult to plough through and unpack all the motivations, the attitudes and beliefs of men about women, about relationships and about entitlement.'
According to Amy Gray, the framework around this crucial national conversation needs a shift to bring about lasting change.
'There seems to be a resistance to hear the female voice on this subject. It seems to be a case of packaging it as something that is palatable for men, rather than presenting an opportunity to unpack a challenge for men,' she says.
'It's an optional discussion about what male entitlement is. They might want to discuss it but they don't want to discuss it every day, they don't want to work on it every day.'
Trenoweth draws an analogy between domestic violence and the end of slavery: 'How much time did we spend workshopping and counselling the slave owners?'
A focus on inequality may be more effective than other approaches, she says.
'There's an enormous educational job to be carried out to change the way people think.'
'All the statistics show that in countries where women are valued and have access to better education with more roles in parliament and more roles on corporate boards there's less violence against women but in countries where women don't have equal rights and don't have control of their bodies there's greater incidence of violence against women.'
So what is men's role in the discussion?
'The hard work comes when we provide spaces to have those conversations and challenging men to really analyse themselves,' says Danny Blay.
'Take stock and challenge yourself about what your beliefs and attitudes and behaviours are right now. Think about what the impact of those things are; you might think they're normal, but you've been socialised; we men have been socialised to engage that way and we don't really think about it.'
An earlier version of this article included the statistic that domestic violence is the leading cause of death for women under 45, in fact it is the leading preventable cause of death for women under 45.

It never ceases to amaze me that all people want to do is 'talk' about domestic violence. No one actually wants to do anything to assist victims and very few victims know how to get help. If any help is available, and help is a rare event, it can only be accessed during 'business hours'. Do away with the 'experts' and spend a fraction on providing the help needed for the victims. The problem is that a simple and low cost solution can be implemented, but then the 'experts' miss out on their tax payer funded salaries and another 'quango' would miss out on its rorts as well.

Talk is probably the most important thing of all. At least that's what I get from this article.
If there's no dialogue, then there's no acceptance of how widespread this is. If we don't talk about it, there won't be any cultural change.
You can throw people in prison, punish them in any way you like. But unless you change the culture of violence and machismo (or whatever you want to call it) - it'll just keep happening.
Keep the talk going, I say.

The article is on the right track - domestic violence is a major problem. Seeing what it did to two female friends, leaves me in no doubt.... and having seen how some male friends behave (and told them to act otherwise) leaves me no doubt either.
The article is also on the right track, being inclusive, in who counts as victims worthy of help. Any victim of violence, needs help.
This seems to me the correct approach. Violence is bad - full stop. Not just, violence against some is bad, violence against others - well, we won't worry about that for the time being, that's not our problem/not our priority.
Such politics-playing, hijacked the issue for years. If you aim to unite the community against a problem - this is one problem we should all unite against - then it does not help to start by dividing the community into pieces. Victims of one type who are worthy of help. Victims of the others, who get asked to wait. Or are told, it's your problem not ours. Or are told, because others like you cause violence, we will not help those of you who are victims. Where is the fairness in that? Because the basis for action against violence - is a belief in fairness as right.
All violence is wrong. It is violence that is wrong. It does not depend what gender or age the victim is.

It is obvious from generation to generation that if women don't have their own income all their lives, then they lose control of their independence and are at the mercy of their husbands/partners, some of whom have shown in the past and present will abuse this control over their partner and children. In addition, women should limit their children to 1 or 2 so they can escape more easily from a violent marriage. If women can't be self-supporting and independent, then they really should not make the choice to have children, as not having their own income really makes each woman completely dependent on her husband/partner, especially with children involved - she's trapped. There should also be a campaign advising women to seek help from police, doctor, therapist, friend or family early (the first time preferably, but at least by the second time) they get abused, and to whom they can turn to if it happens again and again, to work out how to escape without violent consequences.

This article, along with a lot of the flavour of the current anti domestic violence push at the moment offends me. All men are being tarr3ed because of the behaviour of a minority.
Is this how coloured people feel when they are all tarred with the same brush because members of their group are over represented in the crime statistics?
If it is then they have my empathy.
I do not beat women, I do not degrade women, I do not bully or control women and I am deeply offended by the authors suggestion I take stock of myself.
Yes I am sexist, I believe the act of hitting a women is far worse than hitting a man.
Is the author suggesting in that I should take stock of myself that I should remedy that by lessening my abhorrence of violence against women by mitigating it down to the level I feel for that which occurs between drunken men in a pub on a Friday night? IE, it shouldn't happen but its their own stupid fault?
Brian :
03 Mar 2015 11:33:20am
The question, Ed, is what are you doing to make it unacceptable to your mates too? The research and anecdotes above underline that it is a social problem, where too many of us let it slide when we should really be stepping in or calling the counsellors or cops. That's a challenge for all decent blokes.
AdamK :

The message does need to be a general message for men because if you're out with some guys and they're making jokes about this sort of thing, other men need to step in and say that's going too far. A lot of factors lead up to domestic violence, if your friend or friend of friend commits this crime, we could have done our little bit to prevent it.
Maria :
04 Mar 2015 7:24:38am
We are starting to hear a lot more about the importance of changing the way people think, but very little about how this can actually happen. Educators and schools are key to prevention. We were doing some great work in this area 20 - 30 years ago until the focus in education narrowed to literacy and numeracy and endless accounting on that front. Let's see some serious recognition and funding of gender equity and prevention approaches in schools. Lot's of ideas on my site www.socialchangeagency.com.au

Northwest Wine: Cabernet franc a gentler version of cabernet sauvignon
Often cabernet franc is viewed as a kinder, gentler version of its big brother, cabernet sauvignon.
In fact, cab franc is part of the more famous cabernet sauvignon's parentage, as California researchers discovered through DNA testing that cab franc and sauvignon blanc are the parents of cabernet sauvignon, which today is Washington state's No. 1 wine grape.
Cabernet franc is most famous in France's Bordeaux region, where it often is blended with cabernet sauvignon to soften the latter wine's famously bold tannins and to add complexity to the finished product. It also is well known in France's Loire Valley, where it is grown above the town of Chinon and bottled under that name.
Generally speaking, cabernet franc is a lighter version of cabernet sauvignon, so if you are put off by the famously sturdy tannins of cab, then cab franc is a good alternative. Cab franc also tends to reveal aromas of sweet or dried herbs, in addition to ripe dark fruit and notes of chocolate.
In Washington, it's becoming easier to find single-variety bottlings of cabernet franc, thanks to an increase in interest in the grape beyond its use in blending. In fact, cab franc is the No. 4 red wine grape amid planted varieties, trailing behind cabernet sauvignon, merlot and syrah. A year ago, Washington winemakers crushed 3,400 tons of cab franc — double what they did less than 20 years ago.
Cab franc is famous for being winter hardy, meaning it can withstand winter cold. This is undoubtedly why the early grape growers planted it throughout Washington in the early 1970s, as the occasional harsh winters in the arid Columbia Valley can be damaging to grape varieties such as merlot and syrah.
Here are several examples of cab franc, all of which won gold medals or better at the fourth annual Great Northwest Invitational Wine Competition last month in Hood River, Ore. One is from British Columbia's Okanagan Valley, while the rest are from Washington wineries. Ask for them at your favorite wine merchant's or contact the wineries directly.
Owen Roe 2014 Rosa Mystica Cabernet Franc, Yakima Valley, $28: David O'Reilly uses fruit from acclaimed DuBrul and Red Willow vineyards to put the "frank" in cabernet franc for its dry and dark fruit.
Tranche Cellars 2012 Blue Mountain Vineyard Cabernet Franc, Walla Walla Valley, $40: While cabernet franc and "charm" rarely are mentioned in the same sentence, here's the exception. This offers great juicy fruit, a whiff of smoke, a jolt of revitalizing acidity and a persistence rare for the variety.
Revelry Vintners 2013 Weinbau Vineyard Cabernet Franc, Wahluke Slope, $52: Come-hither fruity aroma yields to an interpretation of cabernet franc that comes down solidly on the cherry/berry side of the varietal equation.
Finn Hill Winery 2012 Bon Mot Cabernet Franc, Wahluke Slope, $35: A firm take on cabernet franc that eschews politeness for a frank talk about what the variety is expected to represent, which in this case is integrity and muscle.
VinAmité Cellars 2014 Cabernet Franc, Okanagan Valley, $29: This wine will reset anyone's expectation of cabernet franc. No longer an herbal-scented understudy to cabernet sauvignon, here it stands alone as a fiercely proud emulation of bright smoked cherries.
Côtes de Ciel 2012 Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Cabernet Franc, Red Mountain, $39: Densely colored, comforting in its warmth on the palate, and exceptional in its rich texture and candid complexity, here is a substantial and enduring example from the Holmes family.
Bonair Winery 2013 Cabernet Franc, Rattlesnake Hills, $15: Cabernet franc demands an understanding ear, or rather, palate, which is no problem here thanks to this warm embrace and clearly defined expression.

The Residence
Soaring high above the banks of the Yarra, this palatial apartment floats at the apex of the shimmering bronze tower that is the Prima Pearl. Setting new standards in opulence, this home offers a life without compromise and views beyond compare. Recently completed to the absolute highest standards, the Penthouse on Level 63 is the ultimate expression of architectural integrity and quality craftsmanship. Everything in this capacious home has been carefully considered, curated and customised so as to impart a new definition of luxury.
Words alone cannot do justice to the sense of space and light that is created by ceilings that are over four metres high. The proportions of this apartment are like no other on offer in Melbourne. The stunning living spaces are seemingly suspended over the wide open views which can never be compromised by future construction. If you want to know who is playing at the MCG, or what is happening at Federation Square, one can simply take a look out a window. The views are available from every aspect of every room in the residence and provide a constantly evolving visual feast. An exclusive treat on New Year's Eve is to enjoy fireworks at eye level as they spill off the neighbouring Eureka Tower.
The vast living area can easily play host to the most lavish party. The state-of-the art kitchen is supported by an extensive butler's pantry and a striking glass wine cellar, making entertaining effortless. The interplay of textures of warm oak against Italian marble, and zinc resting against the softest leather is repeated throughout the home. The extensive marble and bespoke Poliform cabinetry were all hand-crafted and imported direct from Italy.
Each of the spacious bedrooms is serviced by an ensuite designed so one can bathe in the views while being invisible to the world beyond. A cleverly designed studio apartment has been incorporated at the rear of the apartment. Featuring a separate entrance, it can be used to accommodate a nanny or house guest without disruption to privacy.

Smooth R&B vocals over a smooth and jazzy backbeat feel with romantic and thoughtful lyrics and colorful chords. This song feels good from beginning to end and will surely put you in a good mood.
Instrumentation: Vocals, Piano, Rhodes, Bass, Drums
This song was inspired by personal experience. I wanted to write a smooth groove that described the new transition I was making in my life and the way I felt about this person. I also wanted to write something more on the soulful side for my sophomore album "A Portrait Of LadyMay". Most people were you to just hearing me sing classic jazz style songs and wanted people to see my other side, especially if they have never been to one of my shows.
Thought I'd
Find a man like you.
That makes me
Feel like
My heart has been renewed.
You make my whole spirit shine
By being who you are.
And I'm so grateful that you're all mine
You've healed my deepest scars.
And I
Was afraid I'd never love again.
But you removed my fears from deep within.
You accentuate the very best in me.
And I know this love I've found in you
Is Real
It's ideal
Your love is Real.
Thought I'd
Find a man like you.
And full of virtue.
You light a room when you walk in
Because your presence glows.
Not loving you would be my greatest sin
Only the good Lord knows.
In my eyes
You're what a man's suppose to be.
I can see me as your bride-to-be.
You love me for all I am
And I know this love I've found in you
Is Real
It's ideal
Your love is Real.
I feel the intensity of your kiss,
The warmth of your touch is purely bliss.
Your love
Is real love.
I'm in a place I've never been before,
It's so, so peaceful, wouldn't ask for more.
This is it,
I am done!
I thank God that you're the one!

The Backpack
"Alright students," our teacher began, "please pass your homework down so I can collect them."
I glanced down at my open backpack and began to seek through the identical notebooks between the diverse textbooks.
I arrived at the end.
Might have missed it, I thought. I rummaged through the stack, this time back to front, taking an extra split second to read each of the notebooks' label. A small pile of books had started to sprout on the teacher's desk. I tried my best to appear unfazed.
I reached the end, again. The pile had grown into a formidable tower and the others had begun to settle down. Soon enough, I realised that it was probable that I had left that cursed book at home.
Panic. I decided to ransack my own bag. My friend, apparently, noticed.
"What's wrong?"
The two innocent little words somehow amplified themselves and sent shockwaves to all four corners of our classroom. One, two, and eventually more heads slowly turned toward me until the attention was too much to bear and I could no longer stare at my backpack.
I finally looked right at the teacher who wanted to confirm her suspicion.
"Have you forgotten your homework?"
With those words, I was cast into a dark abyss, spiralling out of control. The classroom became nothing but a speck of light, until everything went completely dark.
I woke up. It was time to go to work.
Sometimes, I dream of fragments from my academic past. This particular one, however, brought back vivid memories about my school backpack.
Much like James Bond, the title was held by different backpacks at different points in time. They all share similar characteristics nevertheless: cavernous main compartment, durable stitching, useful side pockets, sturdy shoulder strap and, most of the time, water-resistant material.
And black. For some reasons I barely drifted away from that shade.
A good backpack was integral to my daily, occasionally backbreaking, chore of hauling books to and from school. We did not have laptop computers or electronic books and book publishers saw it fit to print textbooks on the heaviest paper stock possible. My backpack used to utter a very satisfying thump whenever I plonk it down on a flat surface.
Consequently, the banal task of swapping books between my shelf at home and my backpack became an inseparable part of going to school. Every kid would have honed their method (or lack thereof). In my case, it started with tidying up after my homework and reviewing the following day's lesson schedule. I would then gather the required textbooks and notebooks for those lessons and load them up neatly into my backpack. I would retrieve clothes and shoes for gym, if needed, and pack my pencil case last.
Every morning I would carry my backpack downstairs, grab my lunch and water bottle, and deposit them on the front porch chair. My dad's driver would then put them on the back seat of the car and I would ride on the front seat.
One small step of the routine changed on that fateful day in sixth grade.
It was the last day of exams and I had arrived early enough to compose myself before the first session. As usual, I alighted and opened the rear door to pick up my things.
The back seat stared at me with nothing to offer. The floor mats gave only their sympathies.
I bowed inside and irrationally searched under the seats. Eventually I concluded that my backpack had not, in fact, shrunken down to pocket size. The driver had simply forgotten to load my things into the car that morning.
Surviving that memorable (if not rather traumatic) experience, I changed my habit instantly. I made a point to carry my things to the car personally. It probably helped that my parents merely laughed at my abject misfortune.
Some things are just worth doing on your own.

European Judges
April 22, 2008
The EMI will always be opposed to the principle of parity between the number of members of the institutions on the one hand, and the number of Member States on the other. The only exception to this is the European Council and the Council itself. For this reason, the EMI opposes Art. 19.2 (TEU Lisbon), which states that each country has a judge in the ECJ. Judicial independence must rest on the personal and not national condition of each judge. The Treaty says that the judges will be chosen from among people who are guaranteed to be independent. What independence is there if a particular judge has to be from a particular country and, if he/she is not approved, this state will simply replace him/her with another candidate?
We propose that the members of the ECJ be approved by the EU Parliament as the ultimate representative of all the EU citizens.Author : EMI

A ruling this week by Venezuela's Supreme Court stripping the nation's legislative branch of all authority — and vesting that power in the court itself — moves a country already beset by violence and economic scarcity one step closer to outright dictatorship.
The decision means essentially that every arm of Venezuela's government is now under the thumb of President Nicolás Maduro, whose supporters have gone to great lengths to wrest authority from the National Assembly, which has been dominated by a slate of opposition parties since early 2016. The country's top court, which is packed with Maduro loyalists, had already invalidated every major law passed by Congress. On Wednesday, as part of a decision involving the executive branch's authority over oil ventures, the court declared that henceforth the judicial branch would execute all powers normally reserved for the legislature.
The ruling provoked international condemnation and sent shock waves across the region. It also prompted a strikingly public rebuke from Luisa Ortega, a Maduro loyalist who serves as the nation's chief prosecutor. She denounced the decision in a televised address during which she brandished a copy of Venezuela's Constitution.
The court's ruling represents a "rupture in the constitutional order," Ms. Ortega said, speaking at the Public Ministry, which she leads. "We call for reflection so that democratic norms are followed," she added, eliciting hearty applause from colleagues who appeared stunned by the gravity of the moment.
Other voices like hers should be heard, and soon. Venezuelan officials who have enabled Mr. Maduro's authoritarian rule need to stand up for democratic principles, including the separation of powers and respect for the will of the electorate.
It is necessary, too, for Venezuela's neighbors to speak out more emphatically. Mr. Maduro finds himself increasingly isolated diplomatically as traditional regional allies have turned on him. A coalition of all the major powers in the hemisphere has begun exploring potential responses to Venezuela's economic and political crisis. Those efforts must advance with a renewed sense of urgency.
Luis Almagro, the secretary general of the Organization of American States, characterized Wednesday's court decision in a statement as a "self-inflicted coup d'état" against the "last branch of government to be legitimized by the will of the people of Venezuela."
To signal his alarm, Mr. Almagro has called for an urgent meeting of O.A.S. members by invoking the Democratic Charter, a pact that members of the diplomatic organization signed in 2001 to pledge adherence to democratic principles and practices. It now seems plausible that the meeting could be the first step toward expelling Venezuela from the organization.
This prospect should be sufficient to alert Mr. Maduro and his acolytes in the judiciary to the foolishness of their autocratic behavior and persuade them to promptly restore the Assembly's authority.
In addition, the government must establish a time frame in which to hold local elections that were supposed to be held last year and future ones that have not yet been scheduled. "The Venezuelan people want to resolve the political crisis by voting," Henrique Capriles, a prominent opposition leader, told reporters in Washington on Friday after meeting with Mr. Almagro. "We want elections. We'll never be able to talk about democracy if there is no vote."
Failure to take meaningful action toward compromise will only deepen the misery of Venezuelans, fuel an even larger exodus of people leaving the country and raise the likelihood that what is now a senseless political dispute will end in violence.

On Friday, Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs Péter Szijjártó said that the security of the European Union begins with Turkey and for that matter the bloc should refrain from criticizing Ankara.
His remarks, as reported by the Hungarian news agency MTI, came after an informal meeting of EU foreign ministers in Valetta, Malta.
The main topic of discussion at the meeting in Valetta focused on relations between Turkey and the EU, Szijjártó said.
"We must refrain from criticizing Ankara and we must maintain dialogue because this is not only in the economic interests of the EU but also in its fundamental security interests," Szijjártó told MTI.
Szijjártó said that the stability of Turkey, which signed an agreement with the EU to halt the influx of migrants in exchange for 3 billion euros, was crucial for the bloc.
If this agreement fails, Szijjártó warned, millions of migrants could move on into Europe via the Western Balkan route and potentially arrive at Hungary's southern borders.
Szijjártó also explicitly mentioned the April 16 Turkish referendum on constitutional reform, stressing that it was up to Turkish citizens to decide upon the future course of their country and that Hungary respected the outcome of the referendum.
"We regard it as very strange that it is the very Western-European political elite, who let millions of Muslim immigrants into Europe, are now trembling because of the developments in Turkey," he reportedly said.
The foreign minister also highlighted that permanent criticism undermines the agreement between Turkey and the EU.

Andrea Camilleri "The Dance of the Seagull"
In a note attached to the source that provided the recipe for Hughesy's favourite slow-cooked Bolognese sauce someone commented along the lines of it doesn't matter how old and doddering you get, if you can still put out a really good sugo (or, I guess an excellent ragu) people will continue to beat a path to your door. Salvo Montalbano's hit 57, his creator has around thirty years on his creation, and The Dance of the Seagull delivers another hearty serve of character study disguised as crime novel.
Actually, I could come up with any number of food related observations when discussing a Montalbano novel, starting with the observation that I preordered this title through iTunes, had it downloaded immediately after publication and demolished it in a couple of sittings in much the same way as Montalbano demolishes a platter of the usual mullets.
Montalbano novels, much like the protagonist's gastronomic accomplishments, tend to be hearty fare based around familiar ingredients and flavour profiles. Montalbano might be equal parts hearty eater and gourmet but he isn't (at least as far as Hughesy can make out) the sort of diner who's going to spend time lingering over subtle flavours and nuances. He'll spend his share of time pondering preoccupations with the physical changes that start to kick in as you move through your late fifties, and his internal monologue will rail against incompetence and corruption in Sicilian politics and the Italian bureaucracy while events around him follow a familiar (to long term fans and readers) pattern.
This time around his early morning insomnia has him staring at the ceiling around five-thirty, bitterly recalling his younger days when he was able to sleep through. Opening the doors to his beachside home the morning he's due to head to Palermo to pick up Livia, his long-time main squeeze, he watches a seagull land on the beach, perform a peculiar dance, turning in circles with beak pointed to the sky before collapsing, dead. Placing it in a bin bag, Montalbano swims out to give it a respectful burial at sea and heads off to collect Livia, who has never seen some of the more picturesque parts of the island.
Montalbano might need a break, but he doesn't need one in the Val del Noto, because he wouldn't want to run into a film crew shooting an episode of that television series just as we're walking around there . . . They film them around there...Predictably, the last thing he needs is to find himself face to face with the actor who plays me, a phobia (or, in Livia's words a childish complex) he should be well and truly over, not least because he doesn't look the least bit like you.
Before he can head off there are papers that need to be signed, which means a brief stop at the office, where a request to send Fazio to him produces the news that he hasn't come in and seems to have gone missing, having apparently gone out alone on an investigation Montalbano knows nothing about.
According to his wife Fazio was meeting Montalbano at the docks the previous night and failed to return home, so the harbour's an obvious place to start looking, and the vacation is, for all practical purposes, off. Arriving at the docks, Montalbano hears reports of shots fired in the dead of night.
Acting on information received they search a chiarchiaro, effectively a Mafia cemetery in a landscape of sinkholes and dry wells, the legacy of a cancelled highway project that took green and arable land and made a desert of it. There's no immediate sign of Fazio, but two bodies are found before they track down Fazio in the same area, badly wounded having walked into an ambush with little memory of the finer details of the sequence of events that landed him there.
There's obviously something dodgy going on at the waterfront, and it's up to Montalbano to ensure that Fazio stays safe while his memory returns, figure out the identities of the bodies they'd found and get to the bottom of whatever it is that someone wants kept quiet.
Those things were never going to be easy, but there are a couple of issues that make them more difficult than they should be. For a start, with Fazio out of the investigative picture, Mimi Augello is distracted by an ongoing argument with his wife, Beba, the hospital is a fair drive from Vigata and he needs to make the journey there and back twice a day to fit in with visiting hours supervised by the nurse Salvo labels the Sing-Sing prison guard and when he gets there he's easily confused by the hospital's labyrinthine corridors and passageways.
Fortunately, there's Angela, a helpful and very attractive nurse on hand to guide him to the requisite destination, though her apparent availability and willingness to participate in a bit of horizontal mambo comes across as definitely dodgy and, of course, along the way there are the regulation and requisite interactions with Catarella on the station swishboard, Commissioner Bonetti-Alderighi and his doorman, Deputy Commissioner Lattes (Caffè-Lattes behind his back) who continues to inquire politely regarding the health of Montalbano's non-existent wife and children.
Fazio's injury is the sort of thing the c'mishner is going to want to be kept up to speed with, and this time around the excuse that keeps Montalbano from attending requested interviews involves an impending visit by a Swiss specialist named Gruntz, who'll be performing a rectal procedure called the double Scrockson. Given the excuse, Montalbano can't be seen eating at Enzo's trattoria when the Commissioner is eating there, so he's forced to hole up in a back room, which has absolutely no effect on the Montalbano appetite.
The answer to the big, Fazio-related question turns out to involve a Mafioso with a big secret, the Russians, Arab terrorists and a prominent figure in the national government, a fact that would have the big boys from out of town stepping in if Montalbano can't keep his cards close to his chest, which he (predictably) manages to do, using the usual mixture of intuition, inspiration and attention to seemingly insignificant detail.
And having done so, settles down to enjoy a substantial plate of caponata.

text: The series follows the misadventures of a group of young men, who live in the small village of Maaskantje in North Brabant. Maaskantje's distinctly rustic and pleasant appearance as a traditional village is juxtaposed by the actions of the group, who are antisocial and indulge in the 'Gabber' culture. They drink excessively, eat junkfood and ride noisily around the village in a garish Opel Manta. Just about every sentence they speak is mindlessly punctuated by the expletive 'kut' ('cunt', in Dutch this word doesn't carry the same severity as it does in English, although it is nevertheless considered rude). Although most of the characters work, none of them appear particularly adept in their jobs.

ATLANTA – Playing its first game since the end of winter break, the Transylvania men's basketball team picked up a 78-69 victory against the Birmingham-Southern College Panthers on Thursday night at the Woodruff P.E. Center on the campus of Emory University.
Freshman guard Michael Jefferson shot an efficient 7-for-8 from the field to lead the Pioneers with an 18-point performance. The freshman added to his scoring line with four steals, two assists, and one rebound in victory.
Junior forward Bo Schuh came off the bench to post a reserve-high 12 points, canning all of his points from behind the arc as he shot 4-for-7 from three-point range.
Transylvania improved to 8-2 on the season with Thursday's victory in winning its second consecutive game. Birmingham-Southern dropped to 3-7 on the year.
The Pioneers used a 10-point first half from junior forward Kyle Gullett to carry a 39-33 lead to the break. A layup from sophomore guard Gabe Schmitt at the midway point of the first opened up Transy's largest lead of the half at 24-15 before the Panthers pulled back into the game slightly.
Jefferson applied his unique dose of acceleration to the game in the second half, scoring 14 of his 18 points in the final frame to hold the Panthers at bay as he shot 5-for-6 from the floor. Sophomore big man Drew Trimble came through with a big second half, scoring eight points on 4-for-5 shooting from the floor to seal the win for the Pioneers.
Transylvania returns to play in Atlanta tomorrow afternoon at 4:00 p.m. to take on Emory University, hosts of this week's Emory Classic at the Woodruff P.E. Center.

I've been saying for months that the thing I most need in life is a collaboration between Kyuhyun of Super Junior and Moon Hyuna of 9Muses. They both have a unique tone to their voice that would blend in quite well together, and are two of the best vocalists in their respective groups.
Well, I got a Kyuhyun solo this month, and despite it not being a duet, Moon Hyuna released a solo today called "집으로 들어가는 길이 좋아"….featuring her cats.
Yes, Goddess Moon Hyuna is a certified Crazy Cat Lady, and I'm loving every minute of it.

The High Graders: A Novel
Unabridged Audiobook
Written By: Louis L'Amour
Narrated By: Jason Culp
Publisher: Random House (Audio)
Date: March 2016
Duration: 6 hours 14 minutes
The story was that Eli Patterson had died in a gunfight, but Mike Shevlin knew it couldn't be true: the man who'd been like a father to him had been a Quaker. But when Shevlin rides back to Rafter Crossing to uncover the truth, he finds that the quiet ranching community has become a booming mining town. Newfound wealth has not made Rafter a peaceful place, however, and the smell of fear and greed is thick in the air. As Mike Shevlin tries to unravel the mystery of Patterson's death, he is led deeper and deeper into a conspiracy that controls not only the fate of Rafter Crossing but the heart of a beautiful but tormented young woman—and Shevlin's own destiny.

Patent Protection Gone Awry
EELING hungry? How about a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? But be careful how you make it - you don't want to infringe on United States Patent No. 6,004,596, for a "sealed crustless sandwich."
Well, maybe it is safer just to have some toast. But watch out for Patent No. 6,080,436 on a "bread refreshing method."
Not hungry anymore? Well, maybe you could just play with the cat. But even that's not safe. Patent No. 5,443,036, "Method of Exercising a Cat," protects using a laser pointer to amuse a cat "and any other animals with the chase instinct."
These patents, which might strike some as frivolous, are symptoms of the deeper problems with the nation's patent system discussed in "Innovation and Its Discontents," a recent book by two economics professors, Adam B. Jaffe of Brandeis and Josh Lerner of Harvard.
Most economists, including the authors of this work, accept the need for intellectual property protection. Patents provide necessary incentives for innovation by adding "the fuel of interest to the fire of genius," in the words of Abraham Lincoln, the only American president to hold a patent - for a device to lift boats over shoals.
However, any system of intellectual property protection requires balance. The law must offer enough rights to the inventor to stimulate innovation, while at the same time ensuring that the resulting temporary monopoly on the invention does not impose too onerous a burden on society.
A patent has a length, a width and a height: how long it is valid, how broadly it applies and how novel it is. Mr. Jaffe and Mr. Lerner are most concerned with the last issue.
A patentable invention must be "not obvious to one skilled in the art." This guideline is subject to interpretation, and in recent years it has seemed as if almost anything could be patented.
According to the authors, the deterioration in patent quality started in 1982, when Congress made two seemingly innocuous changes to the system.
First, it created a specialized Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The motivation for this change was well intentioned: the district courts that heard patent appeals before 1982 applied widely varying standards, and the new Court of Appeals was supposed to offer a consistent policy.
Second, Congress tried to make the processing of patents self-sustaining: it was to be supported entirely from fees paid by patent applicants.
These reforms resulted in a tilt toward patent holders. Mr. Jaffe and Mr. Lerner assert that since these changes, a patent applicant is "much more likely to have the patent granted; the patent is much more likely to be held valid if challenged in court; and the party accused of violating the patent is more likely to be found to be an infringer and forced to pay a large monetary award."
The economists explain these changes as an example of what economists call regulatory capture. Regulators - in this case, judges who hear patent cases - are often drawn from the industry they regulate. Even in cases where they come in as outsiders, over time they tend to identify with the concerns of the industry they regulate rather than with the public at large.
The Patent and Trademark Office now views its constituency as patent holders - not surprising, given that they make up the group that provides its financing. As one patent examiner put it: "When I first started here, I was told, 'When in doubt, reject' and to try to reject. Now I am told, 'When in doubt, allow' and try to find a reason to allow."
Patent examiners are underpaid and overworked. Novelty is supposed to be judged relative to "prior art," but it is almost impossible for a single human being to root out all relevant prior art. One result has been a steady reduction in patent quality, with patents of dubious novelty being granted routinely.
The reduction in standards for granting patents has started an arms race among patent holders. The best defense against being sued for patent infringement is to hold a portfolio of patents that can be used to countersue. So every company has to build a "patent thicket": an arsenal of patents that can be used offensively or defensively, as necessary.
The result has been sharp growth in patents and litigation. When patent suits are brought, they can be horrendously expensive. One study found that in cases where at least $25 million was at risk, the cost of defending a patent infringement suit was $2 million to $4.5 million. Even with small cases involving less than $1 million, the cost of defending was nearly half the amount at risk.
So what is to be done?
The first set of reforms that Mr. Jaffe and Mr. Lerner propose is to create better incentives to discover prior art. Once an examiner decides a patent might be granted, the Patent and Trademark Office would issue public notice of an "intent to issue," and concerned parties could offer information that could be relevant to the determination of novelty.
Such a procedure is not novel - European countries have used such patent opposition procedures for years. A 1992 American commission recommended such a procedure here, and a relatively weak form of patent opposition has been allowed. Mr. Jaffe and Mr. Lerner offer several detailed suggestions for strengthening this tool.
The second reform they propose is to offer several escalating levels of patent review, so that trivial patents could be dealt with at lower levels, reserving detailed examination for important cases.
The third reform is to replace jury trials with judges, who could hire special masters, experts who would work for the judge in examining the arcane technological debates that arise in patent cases.
They also offer several other suggestions, like moving from the current "first to invent" rule to the "first to file" rule. This would not only align the United States with the rule used in the rest of the world, but would also eliminate legal wrangling about priority.
Mr. Jaffe's and Mr. Lerner's book offers a lucid, entertaining and sobering look at the American patent system. Their suggestions are worth serious consideration by policy makers and legislators.
Hal R. Varian is a professor of business, economics and information management at the University of California, Berkeley.

This vintage was characterised by a very long dry spell with higher daytime and overnight temperatures. It was a much higher yield than previous years but as always fruit quality was exceptional. We leaf plucked and did minimal shoot thinning on both eastern and western sides of the rows two weeks prior to harvest in order to gain more uniform ripening.
After hand picking, the grapes were pressed then settled overnight before racking the clear juice. It was then yeasted and fermented at 16oC for two weeks. Left on lees until bottling. No animal products used in processing.
Tasting Notes
This wine has vibrant citrus and floral notes before intense honey dew melon, ripe gooseberry and a long refreshing finish. This zesty full bodied wine may be consumed young but will continue to develop with careful cellaring. It matches well with cheese, seafood, Asian dishes and with great company!

Well that's not happening. California and Stanford lost games last and as a result the Pac-12 was completely shutout of the polls for the first time this season. No team received a single vote. It's eight weeks since the conference fell out of the top 25. Cal is No. 34 in the RPI followed by Oregon (62), Colorado (63) and Stanford (79). Washington is 88. Comments | Topics: top 25

New hardware for my web servers.
I told myself: just one trip to the Apple store. If they had a phone in stock, I'd buy it. If not, I wouldn't sweat it and I wouldn't order it over the internet. They had one in stock. I bought it, and that's where the saga begins.
I have disabled all comments and referral links on the site and deleted all comment records and referral statistics from the database. It's now a closed system. Spam bots will need to go somewhere else.

Honestly, all I did was move the servers to a new room.
I didn't know what it was, but it was interesting. "It" was an Epson R-D1 camera.

Continuing the month's worth of ideas to support a New Year Resolution to cut paper use in education…
Make printing more difficult
When I first started work, printers were only just making an appearance and they were noisy, slow and produced very low quality print. I remember the day that I used the first laser print was magical – so quiet, so fast and so very professional. In those days the printers were plugged into the back of the network server, and a whole office of full of staff used to print to a single printer.
Then inkjets arrived, and prices of printers started to plummet (but not the price of ink, of course) and what happened then was a huge wave of printers arriving in offices. Suddenly everybody needed their own printer. It didn't take long for the cost of that to hit – and the realisation that buying a printer cost peanuts, but buying the ink was a massive ongoing cost. (And that's also about the same time that everybody talked about 'the paperless office').
Although many institutions in education have now switched back to central networked printers (or MFDs – multi-function-devices), if you haven't yet made printing less convenient for your users, then take action to do it. If you switch printing to a central printer, with a smart card to start the printing process (sometimes called follow-me printing), you'll cut down on the amount of paper you are using – even if it's only reducing the number of times people print a document, and then forget to collect it from the printer.
And if people have to leave their desk to get a printout, they will think twice about printing.
This may seem like a facile statement, but it's very true. One school I worked with discovered they had 104 printers – and only 102 staff. People in the same office were unwilling to share a single printer because they didn't want to have to move to collect their printout. And some staff had both a laser and an inkjet printer.
At Twynham School they've tackled the printing process itself – putting in departmental quotas and building 'stop and think' warnings into the machines for large print runs.
How much paper does centralised follow-me printing save?
Typically, articles which talk about centralising printers quote 10-15% savings – a figure which I agree with based on first-hand experience. Although it won't be the same for everybody, it should help you to work out how much paper you can save. And, if you manage to switch staff and students away from printing on inkjets, you'll save a more significant amount in ink – because it can cost up to 6x as much to print on an inkjet as on a central laser printer. So you'll save more money, not just paper.
And with centralised printing, you can easily produce reports for departments or individuals, raising awareness of printer use. Which will also help reduce printing.

Good afternoon and welcome to my first blog post, and what is Superhet's first blog post. I say "good afternoon" as it is a nice time of the day. It is no longer morning, which I think you'll all agree is rubbish, and it is not yet the evening, when we're all thinking "bugger, is that the time already?". So now we're all relaxed in the assuredness of it being the afternoon, I'll begin.
You've probably already had a bit of a poke around the site so you know that we're a music production company. If you've arrived straight here, do have a nose. This blog is going to be our diary and soapbox, and a place to talk shop. So much has happened recently that I'm just going to dive straight in.
Over the last year we've been building a technical workshop for Blake, we've made the studio much more spacious, we got a vintage Neve console, we've finally started to sell off some of our ridiculous stockpile of spare audio bits, we've re-branded and, something which you're experiencing right now, just built this website.
The term 're-brand' always raises a few eye brows but in our case we're just identifying ourselves publicly in a way that clearly communicates the way we've actually been doing things for some time: a no-stone-unturned approach. I explain all this in more detail here.
With this website we hope to demystify the process of music production and encourage conversation. Less cloak-and-dagger and more chat is what the industry could do with, especially in this time of huge transition for it. There are a lot angry-types talking about declining record sales, etc. but I think that the change brings with it opportunity and a certain levelling of the playing field. I think it was Bob Marley's manager that once said something along the lines of: "If people can sell bottled water, surely we can sell records?". I'll stay off my soapbox for now though.
I really just wanted to say a big hello from all of us in this first post as nobody wants to read a lengthy essay in the afternoon. Over the coming months (and years) we'll be letting you know what we get up to, talking tech, introducing you to our clients and friends, debating some meaty topics and, importantly, conversing with you. So if you've got questions, then hit us with them!
Have a lovely afternoon.
Dave Cowshed
