My profession is writing. I am sure seasoned visitors to this site will know this from my previous offerings but my real (and occasionally paid) profession is indeed writing. Apart from commentary and critiques I have recently had published a work of fiction. Working on it over a number of years I came to a Damascened revelation that fiction writers are, at heart, liars. The writer constructs a world, situations and stories in which he/she persuades the reader to believe. They are just the figments of the writer's imagination and the trick lies in lying long and hard enough for the reader to keep turning the pages to see what happens next.
But the reader is not the passive partner in this reading exercise. It is a joint enterprise with the writer fashioning the words onto the page awaiting the arrival of each and every singular reader who will bring their several and different life experiences to the story. Before my first book was published I was somewhat sceptical of the Roland Barthes theory that "the essential meaning of a work depends on the impressions of the reader, rather than the 'passions' or 'tastes' of the writer; a text's unity lies not in its origins or its creator, but in its destination or its audience" but reaction from readers was so varied in terms of how they viewed the ending – it was a crime novel which was left "unresolved" in the traditional sense – that I now understand what Barthes was getting at. Essentially, what he is saying is that the meaning of a text lies not in the "authority" of the author – which he redefines as "scriptor" – but in the language itself. In effect the story changes with each re-reading because it no longer belongs to the author, all power and interpretation lies with the reader.
Now it struck me quite forcibly reading colliemum and Guardian Council's admirable pieces earlier this week that the power of news dissemination and the AUTHORITY that has traditionally been associated with it has, quite remarkably, been shown up in the last weeks to be something of a mirage. The opinions of the experts, broadcasters and assorted celebrities noticeably slipped from their control and it now lies firmly with the viewers and listeners who took it upon themselves to reject the message and apply their own "reading". The electorate were told any amount of things in the run-up to the referendum most of which have turned out to be untrue. Carney, Osbourne, Cameron and Siemens among the heavy hitters, Izzard and Richard Branson among the lightweight Jeremiahs all wheeled out to frighten and cajole the electorate. The subsequent rejection of their arguments has had a profound effect on these people's "authority". Never again will they be able to fashion a story in which they wish us to believe. All the power now rests with the readers – you and me.
This is partly due to the failure of the Establishment but, I would argue, it is more likely that social media is having a profound effect on the way people "read" the news – and the organisations that disseminate it. BBC, Sky, ITV and the print media are all struggling to maintain control of the "story" and will go to great lengths to protect their authority but gradually the power to read differently is leaking out to the general population – or those active on social media anyway. It is no surprise that the BBC finally closed its "Points of View" board and severely limits the Have Your Say comments to bland items. Similarly the Daily Telegraph did away with all comments on its pages and while the Daily Mail still allows feedback there is firm evidence that the positive/negative arrows are being manipulated to suit a particular line of argument, a line that is sympathetic to the author's view – not the reader's. For example any criticism of any of the BBC's news items are batted away with the dismissive "we know best".
Such places as this – Going Postal – allow for an alternative and radical reading but here I would argue caution. I came across this piece from Orwell, writing in 1944. It highlights the danger, as Winston was to find out at the close of 1984, the belief that one can be safe and free in our several and separate attics:
"The fallacy is to believe that under a dictatorial government you can be free inside. Quite a number of people console themselves with this thought, now that totalitarianism in one form or another is visibly on the up-grade in every part of the world. Out in the street the loudspeakers bellow, the flags flutter from the rooftops, the police with their tommy-guns prowl to and fro, the face of the Leader, four feet wide, glares from every hoarding; but up in the attics the secret enemies of the regime can record their thoughts in perfect freedom — that is the idea, more or less." Orwell: As I Please 1944

10 gimmick changes that saved Superstars' careers: Part 2
Previously, we looked into some of the most iconic gimmick changes in the history of this business.
We looked at how an extremely annoying Rocky Maivia became a god on the mic, a bland overweight Husky Harris turned into one of the most intriguing characters of all time, and Mean Mark ended up becoming a living legend.
With the annals of wrestling history being chock full of legendary gimmick changes, one list wasn't enough to cover the cream of the crop. So here's another list of 5 gimmick changes that practically saved Superstars' careers.

#5 Jamal becomes Umaga
The Ruthless Aggression Era brought with it a string of young newcomers, who were all set to become future Hall of Famers. The likes of Cena, Orton and Batista managed to do the same, but not everyone ended up fulfilling their destiny.
Jamal came in as a part of a tag team with Rosey. The duo had an impressive run on Raw for a while, but couldn't break out of the division.
Years later, Jamal came back to WWE as Umaga, a Samoan monster who was unable to speak, but was lethal inside the squared circle. he came in after WrestleMania 22 and attacked Ric Flair on Raw.

By the time WrestleMania 23 rolled around, Umaga was featured in a high profile match with Bobby Lashley, dubbed as the Battle of the Billionaires, pitting Vince McMahon and Donald Trump against each other. With Austin as referee, this match was a major reason why WrestleMania 23 created a buy-rate record, which remained unbroken for 5 years.
Umaga is no more today, but the incredible career he had during his 2nd run is bound to earn him a Hall of Fame ring someday.

PARIS, France -- World No.1 Naomi Osaka, defending champion Simona Halep, and three-time champion Serena Williams all landed in the top half of the women's singles draw as the 2019 Roland Garros opening matches were revealed on Friday.
Top seed Osaka, who is on a 14-match winning streak at Grand Slam events, having won the 2018 US Open and 2019 Australian Open consecutively, heads the draw and will face former Top 30 player Anna Karolina Schmiedlova in the first round.
FULL DRAW: View the entire field at the Roland Garros website
If Osaka gets by Schmiedlova and reaches the second round, she will face the winner of a blockbuster first-round tilt between 2017 Roland Garros champion Jelena Ostapenko and former World No.1 Victoria Azarenka. Whoever comes out of that section could face last year's semifinalist Madison Keys, seeded 14th, in the round of 16.
The top quarter also features the newest member of the Top 10, No.8 seed Ashleigh Barty, and 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams, the No.10 seed. Barty, who won the Miami Open earlier this year for her biggest career title, and Williams, who has won three of her major titles at Roland Garros, could square off in the fourth round.
Photos: Roland Garros 2019: The 32 seeds and their best French Open performance
Barty meets Jessica Pegula of the United States in the first round. Williams opens against Russia's Vitalia Diatchenko, and could meet either No.22 seed Bianca Andreescu of Canada or fellow American Sofia Kenin in a challenging third-round affair.
The victor from the top quarter could see 3rd-seeded Halep in the semifinals, as the reigning champion heads her own quarter. Halep has powerful Australian Ajla Tomljanovic, ranked World No.47, as her first opponent in her title defense.
Should Halep make the final eight, her potential quarterfinal opponent could be one of a big-hitting trio: No.6 seed and Stuttgart champion Petra Kvitova, No.11 seed Aryna Sabalenka, or No.17 seed Anett Kontaveit. Kvitova starts against Sorana Cirstea while Sabalenka opens against one of the highest-ranked unseeded players in the field, former World No.4 Dominika Cibulkova.
Moving into the bottom half of the draw, the first name who shows up is last year's runner-up Sloane Stephens, who is seeded No.7. Stephens will face Japan's Misaki Doi in an opening-round encounter.
Should Stephens make it to the round of 16 in Paris for the sixth time in the last eight years, she has some dangerous possible fourth-round foes: 2016 Roland Garros champion Garbiñe Muguruza, 2002 finalist Venus Williams, and Elina Svitolina.
No.9 seed Svitolina will meet Venus Williams in a tantalizing first-round battle; the two have met twice before, with Williams winning their only match on clay, at Rome in 2015. Svitolina has gone on to win the Rome title in 2017 and 2018.
Whoever emerges from that section could see No.4 seed Kiki Bertens in the quarterfinals. The Dutchwoman is at a career-high ranking after being one of the hottest players on clay of late, winning the title in Madrid and reaching the semifinals at Rome. Bertens will start against France's own Pauline Parmentier.
Bertens, however, could face the woman who beat her in Rome in the third round of Roland Garros -- No.26 seed Johanna Konta. Konta will face a qualifier in the first round. Resurgent No.15 seed Belinda Bencic is also in that section, and she will face Jessika Ponchet in the opening round.
The bottom quarter holds Rome champion Karolina Pliskova, and the Czech will face American Madison Brengle, a quarterfinalist at Nurnberg this week, in the first round. Lurking in No. 2 seed Pliskova's section are former World No.1 Caroline Wozniacki and 2009 Roland Garros champion Svetlana Kuznetsova.
Pliskova could see No.5 seed Angelique Kerber in the quarterfinals. Reigning Wimbledon champion Kerber, who also won the Australian Open and U.S. Open in 2016, will start her quest to complete the career Grand Slam in Paris against Russian Anastasia Potapova in the first round.

Are you sure?
This action might not be possible to undo. Are you sure you want to continue?
Giulia Falcone, P.I. in training, is snowed under. Christmas is in a week and she's having major whiplash from her on-again, off-again romance with her boss. But the holiday turns dark when her friends Anya and Laurel's adopted baby girl is kidnapped. When Giulia learns that two nearby kidnappings involving same-sex couples ended with devastating fatalities, Giulia railroads her boss into taking the case. Giulia takes on another undercover assignment, this time in a holiday resort, to find the kidnappers--and the baby--before the worst happens.
Giulia started to frown, but couldn't hold it in the face of Sidney's idea of speaking softly.
She glanced at Frank's door.
Sidney, you've got to work on your stage whisper.
But I'm not an actor.
I know, but your whisper could carry to the second balcony.
Frank's voice interrupted,
Giulia, could you come in here, please?
She pulled down her sweater and straightened her shoulders. Then she whispered to Sidney,
Better take messages again.
Without waiting for Frank to say it, she closed the door, shutting them in together.
Frank struggled with the side drawer that stuck unless he caught it on the rollers just right.
Piece of crap. Yank. Bang.
I'll turn you into firewood. Yank.
Giulia, what the hell do you think you're doing?
I'm trying to help a friend.
No, you're trying to trespass on police territory.
Frank, let me explain.
Finally. He slid the drawer into place.
You'd better, because that meeting sounded to me like you've committed us to finding batshit religious kidnappers on an impossible timeline, despite the fact that Jimmy's already involved, as he should be and as we should not be.
Giulia plucked a shredded tissue and a sodden napkin from the client chair and tossed them in the trash before she sat.
Calm. Rational. You have to convince him.
Some things are more important than the rules.
Frank, pacing like Laurel had, stopped at the window.
Did those words really just come out of your mouth?
Giulia smiled even though his reaction triggered her guilt reflex. "Cosmo says a woman should always keep a man a little off-balance."
He laughed. "If I were to tell my basketball team that an ex-nun quotes Cosmo magazine to me, they'd make me take a breathalyzer test.
He wiped the condensation from the glass. Sorry I jumped down your throat."
A good Confession should take care of it.
When his head whipped around, she smiled for real.
Catholic humor, Frank. That's all.
The phone rang twice, then Sidney's muffled voice came through the walls.
Giulia said,
Laurel kept me from losing my mind after I jumped the wall. I went through a bad stretch—I'd just been fired from that Mexican place on King Street, I had no money, and I was working myself up to pawn the wedding ring I received at final vows.
Frank retrieved his pen from under the desk and pulled up his chair. He doodled basketballs on his notepad and said in a casual voice,
You worked at her soup kitchen?
Not right away. At first I came there a few times to get a meal. Then when I landed the barista job in Common Grounds downstairs, I went back to help. She stared at his reddening ears.
Why are you upset?
Nothing. Just tell the story.
She schooled her face into a neutral expression. There was no time to get into another futile discussion about Frank's chivalrous streak and how she was a self-sufficient adult.
You didn't know me then. I was a cross between an experienced twenty-something teacher and a clueless eighteen-year-old, since the last time I was a regular person I was a senior in high school. Model Sister Mary Regina Coelis versus gauche Giulia Falcone. A crooked smile twisted her lips.
It's a good thing I didn't have any friends who liked to post videos to YouTube. I could've starred in a whole series of 'How Not To' clips. Anyway. I asked Laurel what nights she needed help, and I became the Tuesday cook.
In a soup kitchen.
Now who's distracted? Yes, in a soup kitchen. Frank, I seriously wonder what kind of mental image you have of me. When did I ever give you the impression of a sheltered flower? Remind me to tell you some of my inner-city high school stories.
His lips compressed, but he stayed silent.
Thank you. To continue. Laurel and Anya were the first real friends I made out here in the world. We would have dinner at each other's apartment every month, I helped them with the adoption paperwork when I could, they taught me how to dress in regular clothes again.
Frank stopped clicking the pen.
That's heartwarming, but it's not a sufficient explanation.
She almost said aloud, When did you replace your heart with an ice cube tray? Instead, she said,
Laurel and Anya told me a lot more than what Laurel said to you in here. Their kidnapping is a clone of the other two. The messages, the ransom demands, everything. They're clinging to hope right now, but they really don't believe anyone can help them. That's why they called me—it's a nun thing. She shrugged.
I know. It's been almost two years, but sometimes I might as well still be in habit. People talk to me.
Giulia, look—
We can help them. We have to help them. Please. This is right up my alley, just like Sandra the crazed stalker was.
You mean her psycho biblical ransom messages?
Exactly. This guy has an average voice, like someone you'd meet at the grocery store or the gym. But anyone who quotes that part of Paul and complains about the new marriage legislation sounds exactly like one of those TV preachers who rail against homosexuality while they cheat on their wives. I have the expertise for this. You don't—no offense. I bet Captain Teddy Bear doesn't, either, and it's obvious the officers who responded to Laurel's call yesterday don't.
Giulia, you're not the only detective with a knowledge of obscure parts of the Bible. He stood.
Giulia remained seated. He was not going to truncate this discussion before she got her way.
No, but you have to admit I'm one of the few detectives in Cottonwood who knows extreme Christianity inside and out. I can get into this guy's head. I can give the police an edge the kidnapper isn't going to expect. She leaned forward on the desk.
As a favor to me—not Laurel or Anya or their innocent four-week-old daughter—to me, would you just call Captain Jimmy and ask if we can talk to him?
Her conscience jeered at her. Since when did you become so manipulative? You're playing on his emotions to get what you want. You're a weasel.
Giulia admitted it all, but Laurel's baby was more important than moral platforms. She kept her eyes on Frank.
He drummed his fingers on the desk, ignoring the bing of incoming email, staring at the series of basketballs he'd drawn.
Thank you.
Don't thank me. The most likely outcome is Jimmy telling me to stay out of his business.
His posture screamed reluctance. Giulia wasn't dense—she'd pushed him to this. It should've been against her better judgment, but every time she'd thought that from lunch till now, the knowledge that Laurel's tiny new baby was in mortal danger overrode any scruples. Because she knew it was mortal danger the same way she knew—despite how hokey it sounded— that she was called to help them.
Better not say that to Frank. We haven't argued about faith yet and I don't want to start over this.
Now Giulia stood.
I'll get this out of your way. She picked up her own client chair and closed the door behind her. Only when she returned the chair to its proper place did she allow herself a deep breath.
Giulia, Sidney almost whispered.
Giulia rolled her mouse first and cringed at the stack of emails waiting for her.
Since this is the day I break all my usual habits… She walked quietly over to Sidney.
Conversation before email sorting.
Sidney giggled.
You're so funny. Mr. D. won't care. He knows you'll always get your work done.
Of course. Giulia looked down, puzzled.
And so will you.
Well, duh. She beckoned Giulia down by her.
You know Olivier and I decided to give bags of my family's alpaca fertilizer as wedding favors, right?
Giulia raised her eyebrows.
No. Last time you talked about favors it was between pine tree seedlings and heirloom seed packets.
Oh, I forgot to tell you. The tree place made a huge stink about not giving them enough time to package a measly eighty-five seedlings. Olivier actually lost his temper. She lowered her voice further.
It was kinda epic. He didn't yell or anything but I swear the A/C kicked on in the greenhouse. So, no trees at the wedding.
And the seed packets? Giulia didn't trust herself yet to comment on the image of ribbon-tied bags of alpaca poop at every place setting.
They lied. She typed an address in her browser window.
Look at this: They claim they're all-natural. See? This page even has photographs of the owner's grandmother harvesting seeds from her tomatoes and peppers. But— she clicked on a tiny link in the lower right-hand corner—
here's the truth. They sold out to one of the megacorporations that genetically alter the seeds. Our wedding is not going to be remembered for depleting the monarch butterfly population. And what about the honeybee die off?
Giulia schooled her face into a neutral expression.
I'm sure none of your guests would ever think you'd condone either of those events.
But we'd know! It's a good thing we hadn't printed out the paper sleeves we designed to fit over the packets. Anyway, here's what I wanted to show you. She brought up a Word document divided into quarters. A smiling pair of alpacas, one in a bridal veil, the other in a top hat, filled the two left-hand quarters.
My brother drew them. He wanted to dress them up more, but I told him it'd just look silly.
They're cute. And silly. Bad Giulia. Don't let Sidney see that thought in your face.
Sidney grinned.
They are, aren't they? He's getting his degree in cartooning next year. He wanted to put them on the programs for the church, but Mr. D's brother said it wasn't appropriate. She scrolled to the next page.
Catholics are sure into rules. I'd go bonkers trying to learn all the RCIA stuff without you and Mr. D's brother. We're going to send the cards to one of those bookmark-postcard printers tonight. You know, so they're shiny and sturdy and will last.
Giulia looked from the screen to Sidney.
It's Monday of Christmas week. Your wedding is this Saturday. Will they deliver on Christmas Eve?
Oh, no, we're not having them delivered the morning of the wedding! I'd go bonkers. They guarantee everything will arrive on Thursday. And they use only recycled paper. They're perfect. She looked up, giving Giulia the full force of her sweet, eager eyes.
Can you read the back of the card for me? I've reread it so many times I couldn't see a typo if my life depended on it.
Of course. She crouched next to Sidney.
'The Earth Loves Us Just Like We Love Each Other—Pay it Forward.'
Sidney grinned.
Catchy, huh? We want to let everybody know the reason behind the foods we chose and all the recycling—I'm wearing my grandmother's wedding gown and Olivier's renting his tux, of course. We also wanted to sneak in a little how-to information. So maybe they'll want to make little changes to start with. You know, natural foods, like the way you grow tomatoes and herbs in your apartment. But we didn't want to hit them over the head with it, so we started with humor.
Humor is always a good way to start. Giulia bit the inside of her cheek this time and read to herself. The card listed the local food sources, the local low-sulfite, fresh-grape winery, and a lecture (there really was no other word for it) about the carbon footprint of trucked- and flown-in food.
There aren't any errors in this.
Sidney exhaled.
Oh, good. Do you think we should add that the flowers are local?
Flowers from here? In December?
Holly and mistletoe and pine branches. Her hands formed an invisible ball about nine inches in diameter.
We grow all those on our farm. Mom and I designed bouquets for me and my sisters and the boutonnieres will be mistletoe sprigs, because holly would keep poking them every time they moved. But do you think we should add something about composting, since we're all composting the flowers and the boutonnieres after the reception?
In the winter?
Sidney did a perfect 'take.'
We add to our compost pile all year 'round.
Giulia held up her hands.
I've always lived in apartments.
That's no fun. She pointed to the screen.
Do you think adding flower origin and composting instructions is too much? We have some of this on our wedding website, but I've been too busy to get all of it on there.
Giulia stopped herself from saying, Your wedding guests want to party, not go to school.
The card is easy to read as is. You'll be putting up wedding pictures on your website, won't you? Why don't you add in the composting ideas next to a photo of all of you with the flowers?
That's perfect! She opened a new email window and typed it all in.
I knew you'd have the right answer. So, she hit Send,
are you and Mr. D. going to make it a real date?
Giulia twitched.
Sidney looked at her from the corners of her eyes, a sly and nervous smile on her lips.
Since when did you become a professional matchmaker? Giulia said at last.
Uh-uh. Don't change the subject. She lowered her voice even further.
Olivier and I met at his sister's wedding. He is such a great dancer.
Giulia smiled.
He's perfect for you, isn't he?
Well, he would be if he'd quit eating carnivore food. But I'll work on him. I figure me becoming Catholic gives me leverage. You know, I compromised on this, so he can compromise on that.
Sidney, the faith is not meant to be used as matrimonial blackmail.
She giggled.
You sound just like a teacher when you talk like that. Don't worry; I won't really. I just need to get my head around all the rules, 'cause I think Catholicism is kinda cool. Besides, I'll be making all our baby food from homegrown, raw foods, so Olivier's bound to agree that it'll be easier for me to cook one dinner for all of us.
Giulia raised here eyebrows in a parody of surprise.
Are you trying to tell me something?
Oh, no, no. Sidney looked properly shocked.
We always use two forms of protection. No babies till Olivier's practice gets going.
Smart. Sidney and Olivier will make adorable parents… just like Laurel and Anya are.
What's the matter?
Giulia shook it off.
I'm worried for my friends and their baby. She's been kidnapped.
A baby? Those scumbags. You're going to include me, right? Anyone who kidnaps babies should be turned into compost.
It's up to Frank. That is, it will be if he can convince Captain Jimmy to let us get involved.
Sidney waved that away.
Piece of cake. Captain Jimmy'd do anything to make you happy.
Giulia laughed.
Frank doesn't like that. Every time we share information with him he tries to hire me away.
I've heard him. It's funny. You're not going to leave, are you?
No, don't worry. I know when I've got it good.
Damn right you do.
Giulia and Sidney jumped. Frank stood in his doorway frowning like Moses watching the Israelites dance around the golden calf.
Jimmy says ten o'clock tomorrow and the only reason he's doing it is because he wants to show you first-hand how much you'd rather work for him than me.
Giulia got to her feet, hoping her irrational guilt over helping Sidney with wedding details during work hours didn't show in her face.
Thank you.
I'm assuming that you'd never consider for even half a minute going to work with that pack of baboons. The frown faded.
You wouldn't, right?
I wouldn't.
Sidney's latest family jingle came from her desk drawer. When she opened it, the bouncy trumpet melody tripled in volume. She read the text and clapped.
Mom says using two zippered plastic bags blocks every bit of odor.
Frank looked from Sidney to Giulia.
Sidney and Olivier and giving away baggies of their alpaca fertilizer as wedding favors. Giulia averted her eyes from Frank's face before she lost control.
Silence fromFrank. Then,
Are you sure that the guests will be okay with a baggie of fertilizer next to their food?
Sidney laughed.
Mr. D, you are so funny. We're not going to put the favors at the place settings. They're going to be on a table in the front hallway with everyone's names on them. We don't want the health department raiding our reception.
Ah. Good. He eyed the calendar on the wall above the printer.
Are you taking just Friday off or do you need Thursday too?
Nope. Friday's fine. Everything's pretty much done except for the place cards and bagging up the favors. She scowled at the clouds out the window.
Now if it'd just stop snowing. You hear that, winter? We've got people driving in from Ohio and Virginia.
The phone rang. She took a deep breath, her nostrils flared, picked up the receiver and said in her usual perky voice,
Driscoll Investigations. May I help you?
At quarter to five that afternoon, Giulia stepped off the bus into a mound of slush. She didn't care. The cold, clean air—emphasis on clean—more than made up for wet boots. After the doors squealed together behind her and the bus pulled away, she shouted into the sky,
Doesn't anyone use deodorant in the winter?
She stomped her boots on the sidewalk. The streetlights turned the grimy slush pus-yellow. Diesel fumes stank up the air as the bus pulled away.
Everyone she passed on the sidewalk was bundled up the same as she was, so she got a little silly behind her scarf.
"O city bus, O city bus,
How filthy are your windows.
O city bus, O city bus,
How cracked and ripped your seats.
You stink in spring, winter, and fall,
Your pick-up times don't work at all.
O city bus, O city bus,
Soon I'll be done for good with you!"
Giulia's small apartment had one big advantage: It heated up quickly. Her teeth stopped chattering after only two minutes crouched over the forced-air vent.
New super-bright mini lights (fifty cents at last year's end-of-season sale) glowed all over the two-foot artificial Christmas tree on the end table lit the corner of the living room. The miniature glass ornaments threw pinpricks of colors onto the walls. Starry silver garland, a matching star on top (two dollars), and artificial snow all around it (also fifty cents) made the apartment as festive as she could afford last year, her first year back in the world.
I can splurge on a bigger tree at the after-Christmas sales this year. The World Market might still have those hand-beaded ornaments I drooled over. I'm not living on ramen and peanut butter anymore. I have to remember that.
The microwave beeped. She changed into sweats and her fuzzy Godzilla slippers, flipping on the TV as she passed it. The newspaper ad of the used Saturn Ion stuck dead-center on the fridge rippled as she passed it.
Soon you'll be mine, and my days of riding the bus will be relegated to memory.
Leftover chicken parmigiana steamed up the microwave, releasing mouth-watering aromas as soon as she opened the small door. Armed with a hot pad so she wouldn't scorch her hand and

To what do I owe the extreme pleasure of this surprising visit? Pretty crazy, huh? If you don't know who this guy is, to give you a lowdown: He's one of the top actors in Hollywood and has been in too many films to count.
P hilip Castle shows me into his front room to see the naked woman on her knees next to the family piano. The plaster sculpture is battered and fragile and turning yellow with time, but I would recognise those nipples anywhere. The curators of Daydreaming with Stanley Kubrickan exhibition of art inspired by Kubrick with work by Mat Collishaw, Michael Nyman, Jane and Louise Wilson and many morewere understandably desperate to borrow it.
Skip to Content. Get age-based picks. As a dark dystopian satire that explores whether or not sociopathic criminals can be reformed by behavior modification and reconditioning, there is not much in the way of positive messages.
The title itself, Clockwork Orange, is interpretive. Perhaps, this clock metaphor relates to the stroke of midnight as the end of humanity. If red is stop, then an amber or orange light urges caution — slow down, take in your surroundings, and prepare to slam on the brakes.
Stanley Kubrick is known as one of the most influential filmmakers in history. This is due primarily from his use of hidden meanings and messages through his very specific and usually eerie cinematography and style of direction. This particular feature has been deemed one of the most controversial films of all time due to its violence and philosophical themes.
A Clockwork Orange is producer-director-screenwriter Stanley Kubrick's randomly ultra-violent, over-indulgent, graphically-stylized film of the near future. It was a terrifying, gaudy film adaptation of Anthony Burgess' satiric, futuristic novel of the same name. The luridly-colorful set designs by John Barry, costume design by Milena Canonero, the synthesized electronic score by Wendy Carlos [sometimes credited as Walter Carlos - her birth name until undergoing a sex-change operation in to became Wendy], the colorful and innovative cinematography by John Alcott, and the hybrid, jargonistic, pun-filled language of Burgess' novel called Nadsat - an onomatopoetic, expressive combination of English, Russian, and slangproduce a striking, unforgettable film.
After a sequence of nights where Alex and his friends commit random acts of violence, including assaulting a homeless person and raping multiple women, Alex is peer pressured by his friends into burglarizing a house. A Clockwork Orange is generally considered a satire that questions how much control governments should have over their citizens, what makes a citizen a productive member of society, and whether criminals can truly be redeemed after their crimes. It is generally considered one of the best novels ever written, and the film has inspired numerous people to dress up like Alex because why not pretend to be a rapist for Halloween?
A Clockwork Orange has fallen heir to the same controversies regarding film violence that blossomed with Bonnie and Clyde and seem never to have withered. Arguments against the film have consistently been based on moral grounds. The outcry against the film has been intense, and one would guess it likely to continue. Still, accusations in this case come cheap; the violence in every scene, indeed the varieties of violence, lead rather easily to such shrill charges.
It is a twisted version of a milk bar which serves milk laced with drugs " moloko plus ". The protagonist and narrator Alex lists some of the fictitious ingredients one can request: vellocet Russian for amphetaminessynthemesc synthetic mescalinedrencrom adrenochrome. For the ingredient drencrom, he uses the phrase drink the milk "with knives in it," as it "would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence".

The first two claims are false, and the second is your uninformed opinion.
SoBi has been extremely successful, measured by how many users it has attracted in a very short time (about 1000 rides per day apart from Winter and getting on for 8000 users):
Preliminary data showed hundreds of cyclists using the Cannon bike lanes and the city will be collecting new data.
The value of LRT to Hamilton (especially in helping the city achieve its social and economic potential) has been thoroughly examined and justified in multiple studies (Metrolinx, City and McMaster).

The story of LympheDIVAs began in Philadelphia when two young breast cancer survivors, Rachel Troxell and Robin Miller, developed lymphedema, a side effect of breast cancer treatment that can cause permanent swelling in the arms. Their physicians and lymphedema therapists recommended a compression sleeve as the most effective way of controlling the swelling. When they researched the options for the sleeve they found that the only ones available were rough textured, heavy, hot, beige, and bandage-like. Frustrated and dismayed over the lack of options they had for compression sleeves, Robin and Rachel met with Kristin Dudley, a fashion designer, to discuss their idea of creating a more elegant and comfortable compression sleeve.
In late 2007, Robin left the company. Soon after, Rachel discovered her breast cancer had returned. While she was being treated, she continued building LympheDIVAs, which brought her much joy during a difficult time in her life. Rachel died January 22, 2008, at the age of 37. Her determination and compassion to improve the lives of breast cancer survivors is very much ingrained in the spirit of LympheDIVAs.
Today, LympheDIVAs' products can be found in retail locations nationwide and internationally. At Rachel's request, her father Dr. Howard Levin and her mother, Judy Levin took over the responsibility of running the company which their daughter helped found. In August of 2010, Rachel's little brother, Josh Levin, joined the company and is now running it with his parents. They all hope that LympheDIVAs' compression apparel will continue to inspire breast cancer survivors everywhere to feel as beautiful, strong and confident as Rachel was.

"It's so easy to use I can even get the kids to work with it" says Dave Dalziel owner of
Manawa Station deep in the heart of Wairarapa.
On a late summer's morning I set off from Masterton to meet Dave at Manawa Station. Once
past the town, the poplars turning yellow in the drought reminded me of my own home
province of North Canterbury, where two years of dry has parched the landscape. The vista
from car window was all too familiar, lack of stock and feed. On the radio Jamie McKay's
Farming Show was talking with Wairarapa's Sir Brian Lahore, who coincidentally was also
talking about the lack of stock and feed on the East Coast of both islands.
Inland from the nearby tiny hamlet of Tinui lies the 1750 ha Manawa station run by the 4th
generation of the Dalziel family.
Running 5000 ewes and their replacements as well as several mobs of breeding and store
stock cattle, Manawa is typical of type of sheep and beef stations of East Coast farming
operations. With some river flats, rolling country and steep hills, the station has just over
1000effective ha.
Dave runs Manawa with just a single Shepard since 2001. He, like most others in the farming
community is constantly seeking better and more efficient ways to streamline his business, while
keeping a lid on costs.
I'd been invited to Manawa to chat with Dave about their Racewell Sheep Handler supplied and
marketed by Oamaru Company Te Pari Products.
Jeremy Blampied, their Marketing Director was keen for me to find out how the handler was
working and its importance to Manawa. He also was interested to know what they would do
without it.
I arrived shortly before Dave, at the station's woolshed and yards and immediately saw the
Racewell 3 way auto drafter in the only covered area of the neatly cobble stoned yards.
What was also immediately obvious was the condition of the unit. It had clearly seen many years
of use. What I also saw was a brand new bright blue Te Pari iS Weight Scale [as seen in the
As I was looking the set up over I decided to ask Dave's reasons for the obvious upgrade.
He rocked up to the yards a few minutes after me, with three dogs aboard his covered ATV.
Along with all farmers I have met, he greeted me with a wide grin and a firm handshake, briefly
apologising for not being there when I arrived.
Down to business with a "How long will this take? And what do we need to do?" I said it would
be best if we got some stock in the race and then ran them through the unit as he would normally
do when using it. He quickly put some sheep in the yards, running the rams as they turned out to
be, straight up into the Racewell, which coped easily with their size. The height above ground
was ideal as he put it for working on all classes of sheep and the adjustable sides held the rams
firmly without stressing them.
I asked about how he came to get the Racewell originally?
He said shortly after he took over the farm, his neighbour from Holmwood Station, Andy
Tatham, suggested to him, he get a Racewell Sheep Handler. He said " it would really reduce the
workload in the yards, going on to claim "It'll pay for itself in the 1st year!"
"Reluctantly I took his advice and 13 years ago I bought this" said Dave. Andy was quite right, it
did save me its cost in labour alone, in the first year, but it was more than that it is so easy to use
and always 100% accurate. I can be sure when drafting for weight, age, sex, anything really,
that the handler will give me accurate totals and have the right stock in the right pens. It saves
time energy and stress and definitely money. We couldn't operate the farm on the resources we
have without it"
We can put up to 450 lambs through an hour that's around 2000 in a day and it's so easy I can
bribe the kids to do it. That frees us up to concentrate on other tasks or to bring in the next mob".
I ask Jeremy's question "What would you do with out it?" Simple we couldn't" he says matter of
factly. "If it were broken I'd get Te Pari to repair or replace it straight away, this is as important as
the dogs or the bank manager" he says with a smile."
We'd only do half the stuff we do and that would be disastrous financially!"
"We use it for weighing mainly and it's being used most weeks for something. For example
through experience we know that the ewes have to reach 67 kgs. For every kg less it means a
drop in lambing index of 2.9.
We love the flexibility. It's great as we aim for growth rates of 159gms a day on the lambs, so
we draft them into groups, using the Racewell to identify the lighter ones to ensure we get the
numbers we need away to match our grass growth and season"
"We cull the ewes under 60kg and put out a terminal sire on the 5yos which we just use the
drafter system to select. As you can see we have upgraded to the Te Pari iS weight scale so we
can EID the sheep and we can transfer and use the same unit at the cattle yards" I know there's
a lot more we could do with the handler like crutching or dagging, but we're happy with how it
works for us".
The Racewell Sheep Handler has given us no trouble since we've had it and I'm not inclined to
replace it. I'm very pleased with its performance says Dave with a smile.

We've rounded up some creative ways you can promote your Personal Brand and get known in any industry, even if no one knows you yet.
PS - 📍If you want to deep dive and catch up on the long-form postswith tips and tricks around Personal Branding, Career Development, Future of Work, Skills & Education, Productivity and Performance, check out www.impaccct.com/blog
Speaking Engagements
While there are a couple of learning curves to get over, taking the leap to become a speaker is one of the most quick and effective ways to promote one's Personal Brand.
I regularly get invited to speak and contribute on different platforms, and although I am not the most extroverted like you would associate to a person who speaks in public a lot, I was able to overcome it as I saw results and how well people respond when they are imparted with knowledge this way.
I shared a few tips on how you can improve your public speaking skills here.
A really helpful way to boost confidence on the stage is to be well-prepared. Remember that people are looking for short but sharp, valuable takeaways from your speech, so have those on-hand.
Also think about your audience— what is the population consisting of? Are they young adults, teens, or senior executives? You can tailor fit your speech to apply examples of situations that a particular kind of group might have experienced or will experience in the future.
Write LinkedIn Articles
LinkedIn Articles are perfect if you are not on the extroverted end but want to establish Personal Brand quick. My LinkedIn article archive is full of knowledge on Personal Branding, Future of Work, and Career Development, and my audience engage with me through it.
LinkedIn is the best place to be seen with content, so if you want to start writing, do so in this platform.
When you select a topic, you can choose how you want to discuss it-- either in the technical writing form, as a 'How To', a case study, create a Listicle around it, or even an infograph if you are knowledgeable in digital design.
Volunteer for Boards and Charity
Character is often overlooked as part of building a Personal Brand, but it is ultimately what helps individuals go farther than any other factor. Follow through and talk about your causes even outside volunteer hours. Be an advocate and a voice, and people will remember you for your meaningful contributions as a member of society.
Attend MeetUps, Conferences and Network
Your network is your net worth.
Being up to date and understanding how today's network and industry works is your Personal Brand's leverage, so utilize conferences and events and what you learn from it effectively. I myself enjoy going out not just to meet industry leaders but to hear their wise words from them.
MeetUps also have a ton of events you can choose from. If you are keen to connect with like-minded people and learn more about the future of work, join our own MeetUp group and you are invited to join our upcoming events.
Seek for opportunities to network or exclusive chances to meet speakers and co-attendees at conferences. Follow-up by connecting with them on LinkedIn, creating content about learnings and tagging them, or following hashtags from the event and engaging on posts of people you met.
Guest on A Podcast or Host Your Own
There are two ways to use a podcast to promote your Personal Brand. It can either be through being a guest on someone else's podcast or hosting one yourself.
I previously did a guest hosting with Leanne Hughes in her podcast First Time Facilitator, called Don't Sell The Plane, Sell The Holiday. We spoke about building credibility when you're still starting out in the industry, and how to market yourself without it feeling like bragging.
If you are new to this platform, its ideal to start as being a guest host and learn the best practices first from people who are already doing it. Research podcasts of your niche and listen in so you can choose the ones where your style is best fit, or you can aim for the moon and choose at least 3-5.
Find a contact, and create a powerful pitch and an email that will help the host know that you offer real value for his show and listeners. Help them decide that you are too hard to pass on! This is where your Personal Brand will come in very handy, so it really helps that you have a strong one.
If you want to dive in and create your own show, you need to put in just as much work. It's much like starting your own business where you need to start ground up and build your brand, and then market it. The benefits and opportunities it will do to your Personal Brand will soar tenfolds, so it's something worth looking in to if you can commit to it.

Our Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are studies that collect data to determine if a new drug is safe and effective. They are essential research practices for advancing science, enhancing medical knowledge, and developing new treatment options to improve patient care. Each clinical trial is different and follows a plan known as a protocol, which is carefully designed and usually reviewed and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other relevant government agencies outside the U.S.
SpringWorks is conducting several clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of our investigational therapies, both alone and in combination with other therapies, for patients with rare tumor types and other more prevalent, genetically defined tumors.
Below is information on our ongoing trials. For additional information on our trials, medical professionals may also email SpringWorks at email@example.com. Patients and families should speak to their physicians to ask about whether a study may be right for them and to understand the eligibility criteria that must be met in order to participate in each study. For those who do not meet eligibility criteria, you may be able to participate in our Expanded Access Program.
Desmoid Tumors
Patients are being enrolled in a Phase 3 clinical trial ("DeFi") evaluating nirogacestat in adults with desmoid tumors. Desmoid tumors are rare and often debilitating and disfiguring soft-tissue tumors.
The DeFi trial is evaluating nirogacestat, an oral, selective, small molecule gamma-secretase inhibitor in adult patients with progressing desmoid tumors.
Advanced or Refractory Solid Tumors that Harbor RAS Mutations, RAF Mutations or Other MAPK Pathway Aberrations
Mirdametinib + Lifirafenib
Patients are being enrolled in a Phase 1b study evaluating mirdametinib, a MEK inhibitor, in combination with lifirafenib, a RAF dimer inhibitor, in patients with advanced or refractory solid tumors harboring RAS mutations, RAF mutations, and other MAPK pathway aberrations.
The study is evaluating the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of combining BeiGene's investigational RAF dimer inhibitor, lifirafenib (BGB-283) and SpringWorks Therapeutics' investigational MEK inhibitor, mirdametinib, in patients with advanced solid tumors.
The trial is being administered by BeiGene under a global clinical collaboration agreement between SpringWorks and BeiGene.

Dodgers' Matt Kemp, Yasiel Puig, Kyle Farmer and Alex Wood have been traded to the Cincinnati Reds. Homer Bailey and prospect Jeter Downs are part of the Reds' return.
Dodgers outfielders Yasiel Puig and Matt Kemp, catcher Kyle Farmer and left-handed pitcher Alex Wood have been traded to the Cincinnati Reds, the team announced Friday. The Dodgers acquired Reds pitcher Homer Bailey, minor league shortstop Jeter Downs and minor league right-hander Josiah Gray in exchange along with cash considerations.
Puig posted a 2.67 batting average through 2018 with 63 RBIs and 23 home runs. The All-Star outfielder will go to Cincinnati alongside Kemp, who hit 2.90 for 85 RBIs and 21 homers.
Wood finished the season with a 3.68 ERA and 135 strikeouts through 151.2 innings pitched as the Dodgers went 92–71 in the 2018 season, falling to the Boston Red Sox in the 2018 World Series in five games. Los Angeles clinched their sixth straight National League West Championship en route to their second consecutive World Series loss.
The Reds finished at 67–95 for 5th place in the NL Central. Bailey posted a 6.09 ERA, striking out 75 batters through 106.1 innings.
With the deal, the Dodgers will clear substantial amounts of money under the luxury-tax threshold by trading Kemp's $20 million hit this year. Puig and Wood would also both be somewhere between $20 and $22 million each, Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports added. Bailey's buyout will cost Los Angeles $28 million, but the tax hit will be just $17.5 million which clears up their outfield logjam and brings the luxury-tax payroll to more than $180 million, which includes money sent to the Reds.
Los Angeles is reportedly among the teams interested in free-agent outfielder Bryce Harper. If they want to stay under the luxury-tax payroll, they will not be able to sign Harper for his desired $300 million. If that's not a concern for the team, Harper is still a possibility, per Passan.

No child should go without a present this Christmas.
That's the message from the Dandenong Ranges Emergency Relief Service (DRERS) which launched the organisation's annual Christmas campaign recently, calling for people to leave a gift under the Giving Tree at Belgrave Library and help local families in need.
At the large Christmas tree found in Belgrave Library, people can take a tag from the tree and leave an 'unwrapped' gift for anyone aged between newborn and 18 years.
The concept is well-established in the region and has helped spread Christmas cheer to many children over the past 20 years.
DRERS Manager Tania Bevan said most people "felt the pinch" at Christmas due to various social events, fuelling the car to visit friends and family during the holiday period , which puts pressure on people to spend that "little bit extra here and there".
"It's about being able to assist people in our community who are financially disadvantaged to be able to provide gifts for their children over Christmas," she said.
"It's probably the time of year you notice the disadvantage in our community more, and for us it's our busiest time of year in terms of providing emergency relief to people.
"When we do hand out the presents to the families you can really see the difference it makes."
Ms Bevan said the Christmas campaign had experienced enormous success over the 20 years it had run, with the community digging deep to help their neighbours.
She said DRERS liked to aim for an equal spread of gifts to cater to different age groups.
"This is great way for people wanting to help their community and haven't had a chance to do all year by donating some food, or a gift," she said.
"Just go into the library and leave a gift under the tree – there are tags on the tree which specify ages and gender.
"It's been very well supported by our community which enables us to do this, without the support of the community we wouldn't be able to make sure there were gifts for people who need them."
Ms Bevan said DRERS also prepared hampers to give away so donations such as plum puddings were welcome.
"We do provide Christmas hampers as well and we've found they've increased in popularity over the years"
"We've found that's a huge need for Christmas foods – Christmas cakes or puddings."
Gifts can be left, unwrapped, under the tree at the Belgrave Library and food donations can be dropped off at the DRERS headquarters at the Belgrave Hub 1616-1624 Burwood Hwy, on the lower level before 8 December.
"We're really grateful to the support from our community year after year because it really does make a difference."

Hi there, I make stuff! Games, pixel art, and most of the time the two combined.
Check out my twitter (@johanpeitz) to see the latest!
Probably some stuff on my itch page too.
Don't be afraid to say hi,
<3 Johan
I recently made a little 3D thing and after it took off on twitter I was asked to write up how it was done.
Please note though, that this was basically my first 3d-thing, so I'm likely not using all the right words. :) I started by jamming around with Zep's 3d dot party template and ended up with the above.
Anyway, as most things - it is not as complicated as it looks. It grew quite organically, but it boils down to these steps.
First I made sure I had a working grid.
I wanted to have a height map, so I used the sprite sheet to draw a very simple repeatable map.
Every tick I look at a slightly different position in the map, giving a nice scrolling feeling.
But it looks a bit dull, so I wanted to add some movement. This was done by applying a cos and sine function over time.
As it still was a bit static I also added a slight sway to the camera.
Adding it all together ended up with this very living scrolling thing. Since the sine and cos waves doesn't have anything to do with the terrain and run on a different frequency it looks very alive and smooth.
I'm pretty sure the whole thing can be done faster and better, but hey - if it looks right on the screen... ;)
Happy to answer any questions if needed.
Curse of the Lich King
The evil Lich King, Raq'zul, has cast a life draining spell on the world - in hopes to become immortal. Many heroes try to find him deep in his lair, but all have fallen to his army of monsters and devious traps. Now it is your turn!
Curse of the Lich King gives you tactical grid based combat in a roguelike dungeon crawling setting. A cast of monsters will try to stop you, all in their own way as you descend towards the Lich King's crypt. Loot everything you see to make sure you find food and weapons to help you on your journey. But beware, not everything is what it seems...
Are you ready to solve the tricky battles and master the Lich King's lair? Can you save the world? Good luck!
Use the arrow keys to move and navigate menus.
X opens your backpack and select items.
C closes the current window.
As it is not possible to skip turns, make sure you use the environment to get monsters near so you get the first strike! Spend a turn by hitting pots/shelves/doors or other interactive things, and monsters will move while you stand still.
There is a lot of stuff to discover, have fun!

Here's a standalone version of the dungeon crawler game I made for @elneil's Picozone (#17in1jam).
- Your health decreases slowly but steadily so be sure to grab as much gold as you can before you die.
- Hitting monsters makes you lose a lot of health, but you also get a lot of gold.
- Make sure to grab the food to increase your health.
It is made of only 421 tokens and sprites.
Have fun!
Inspired by an idea from JW of Vlambeer, I built this dungeon generator.
In short it adds a bunch of rooms on top of each other and then moves them randomly around until they don't fit any longer. Usually this makes for some very nice and organic looking scenes. This version also has a bunch of other parameters like wider door ways, interconnectedness, and decoration among others. The example in this thread randomises these parameters but in the code it is fairly easy to set them up to whatever.
I've tried to document it to a degree, so hopefully it can help out if someone wants to dive into my implementation. It should be said though that I primarily wanted to visualise the process and to look nice, not necessarily be the most efficient data structure. ;)
Have fun and let me know if there are any questions!
Created for the Pico-8 Advent Calendar 2018.
Alpine Alpaca
Hit the slopes and score as many gates as you can. Use your cards to steer and build your deck as you go!
arrow keys - choose card
x/z - use card
That's all there is to it really! Every third gate you pass you can add cards to your deck with various effects. Maybe speed up and get more points? Or even dare to use the jump card? Experiment with cards and obstacles to get the most points.
Good luck!
Feedback is appreciated, let me know in the comments. And post your scores too! :D

Multiple award-winning filmmaker and Emmy-nominated casting director Craig Campobasso was fifteen when he started in the entertainment business. After graduating high school at age seventeen, Craig went to work behind-the-scenes on blockbuster film classics like "Dune" directed by David Lynch; and two Schwarzenegger movies "Conan The Destroyer" and "Total Recall". He began his casting career on Steven Spielberg's "Amazing Stories". He received an Emmy nomination for casting for "Picket Fences". Craig's casting career spans three decades. Craig's mother, Marie Donna King Campobasso, told him from the time she was pregnant with him, that she knew he would become a writer. He fulfilled that prophecy when he was twenty-six, after he experienced a life-changing spiritual awakening. That's when "The Autobiography of an ExtraTerrrestrial Saga" book series was born. His passion is to write stories that provoke the reader to think, to raise their consciousness, while still entertaining in the Hollywood tradition. Craig directed, wrote and produced the short film "Stranger at the Pentagon", which was adapted from the popular UFO book by the late Dr. Frank E. Stranges. In September 2014, it won Best Sci-Fi film at the Burbank International Film Festival. In 2015, it won a Remi Award at the Worldfest Houston International Film Festival for Best Sci-Fi Short. Craig has also appeared on The History Channel's "Ancient Aliens". "The Autobiography of an ExtraTerrestrial Saga: The Huroid Revolution and Other Warring Creatures" is the fourth book in the series.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A sex video reportedly featuring NBA Hall of Famer
and Orlando resident Julius Erving has surfaced just as he begins
divorce proceedings from Turquoise Erving, his wife of 30 years.
The alleged tape was delivered to the New York Post last week and was
apparently shot several years ago in a San Jose, Calif., hotel room
with a young woman.
Dr. J, 53, who led the Philadelphia 76ers to the NBA championship in
1983, reportedly said that it was his wife who released the tape to
the media.
"This tape was made 15 years ago, while my wife and I were separated,"
Erving told The Philadelphia Inquirer Monday through a spokesman. "The
decision by my wife's advisers to release it during our divorce
negotiations is disappointing, especially since my wife has had it in
our possession all these years."
The New York Post, said the video shows a younger Erving in an
"undershirt, boxers, and metal-framed glasses engaging with a
voluptuous, dark-haired young woman with cinnamon skin wearing a

Institutional Efficiency in Independent Central Banking: A Communicative Matter?
Download full text from publisher
More about this item
KeywordsPolitical economists have traditionally been indifferent to the communicative construction of money and central banking in the public sphere. It does not matter to them whether monetary affairs are rendered as a rational game over the preservation of the value of the currency or; for example; as a morality play. In this paper I will suggest that the very political economy of central bank independence requires a departure from such a practice. I will argue that the communicative articulation of the monetary game is relevant to understand how independent central banks can achieve institutional efficiency; and why they face no tradeoff between institutional efficiency and democratic legitimacy. In particular; I will suggest than an institutionally efficient central bank cannot but act as an agent of communicative empowerment of the audiences that make up its local context of operation.;
