Well... you can look at it that way, technically speaking you are absolutely correct but since there is a fix that allows displaying and working with Hebrew in terminal this decision is simply kicking in the user's face. Microsoft had this decision in Windows XP, many DOS apps that were supported until Windows 98 were no longer supported and had to search for alternative or keep using an unsupported operating system. This move eventually forced most of these businesses to go with the flow and pay thousands of dollars to upgrade their software after they already spent thousands of dollars few years prior to the release of XP. Supporting forced end-of-life of a product? Seems very Microsoftish ☺ > > The greater problem is that BiDi console is an unsolvable problem.

The reason MLTerm is not widely used that it doesn't support themes which makes the window look very ugly and not so friendly. But MLTerm definitely works better than Konsole, If you have the time to take a look at it you'll be surprised (Ignore the window decorations of course). What I'm saying is that unlike Microsoft which had its own political reasons to cease their Hebrew support in console wine should support it. There is a way of using Hebrew in console, the fix is described in this URL: http://eesh.net/WinHeb/ Works in Vista as well, doesn't work in Win7 though...

Hoby monuments, Bisham Church
This will be my last post for a couple of weeks. I am off with my son Tim to America, a first visit for both of us. A fly-drive, with large scenic holes in the ground for me (Grand Canyon, Death Valley), and Las Vegas and Los Angeles for him.
Yesterday, I visited the Church at Bisham Abbey near Marlow, to take a look at the Hoby monuments: Tudor humanism in stone. Elizabeth Cooke, along with her four sisters, was educated by her father Sir Anthony to the highest standards of the age. She married Sir Thomas Hoby, the translator of The Book of the Courtier. He died, as the tomb says, 'at Paris the 13 of May 1566 of the Age of 36 leaving his wife great with child in a strange country, who brought hym honourable home, built this chappell and laid him and his brother here in the tombe together'. Her English verses about him are heart-felt:
Firm in Gods Tryth, gentle and faitheful friend,
Wel lernd and languaged, Nature besyde
Gave comely shape which made ruful his end
Since in his floure in Paris towne he died.
And in her Latin verses, she says he was 'my soul's far dearer part, / Life of my life and solace of my heart ... How happy we then; our wishes, joys the same / one soul inspired our double frame / But ah, how short our pleasures here below'.
The DNB entry on her father describes her as 'formidable'. She became an habitual and angry litigant, while the churchwarden at Bisham repeated to me the local story that she caused the death of one of her children who had raised her ire by (literally) blotting his copy book. There's no record of a missing child, so one has to suspect that her reputation for learning and ill temper caused such posthumous local libels. In her own monument, her will having forsworn 'vain ostentation or pomp', she kneels in a coronet topping an almost Pharonic head-dress of pleated linen, with a full entourage of her children, both living and dead, her elder daughter kneeling before her in her robes as a Countess. A daughter-in-law had the marvellous enamelled glass windows created in 1609, they celebrate the lineage of the families, and were recently restored using a large grant of money from the Glaziers' Company, so precious are they. Margaret Hoby's own monument has the swans, the Hoby's used falcons (or otherwise the 'hobby' hawk) as their heraldic bird. Edward Hoby even named a bastard son he had 'Peregrine Hoby'.
But the main monument is that Elizabeth Hoby made for her husband and his older half brother. It is almost a surprise that the V&A hasn't long ago appropriated something so perfect. In full armour, the two men recline on rush mats, heads on their helms. Sir Thomas' armour is more decorative (if you click on the image to see it enlarged, you can pick up the 'hobby' motifs his suit features), but the modelling (in alabaster) of the faces and hands of both men is very sensitive. Placed together, their being represented at the age they died has obscured the 24 year gap between them, so they have become virtuous Renaissance friends, Protestant champions ('Zealous to God whos Gospel he profest, / When gretest stormes gan dym the sacred light', says Elizabeth's verses, refering to their Marian exile), Pyrocles and Musidorus: the type of male twinning in virtue Jonson praised in his Cary-Morison Ode. There's no sprezzatura here, no 'recklessness' or courtly nonchalance, but rather, a deep Protestant seriousness, and, not suppressed amid the solemnity, the love and bewildered grief of a woman who was clearly not easy to impress.

Early modern cryptozoology
Apart from the animals they knew well, much early modern zoology was suffused with folklore and traditional fantasies. I was reminded of this 'True and Wonderful' discourse of the Sussex dragon by the BBC's notice of the latest investigation of 'Ninki Nanka' in the Gambia - another of those sauropod- survival stories which hinges on tales told by people who knew someone, who knew someone, who definitely saw something one dark night (when he was a boy).
At least nobody is marching off up river in quest this time, the investigation seems to be more into the folklore of the story than conducted with any credulity regarding the creature's existence. See
The pamphlet about the Horsham beast of 1614 is not quite what it seems to be: I claim it as the first occurence of 'silly season' journalism in English. To elucidate, in my youth, when England was a more parochial country, in the high summer, serious news would run thin. Inveterate murderers would go to the seaside with surviving members of their family, bank managers were too busy out on the links to empty the branch safe and flee abroad, trials went into lengthy recess. There was no news, but news had to be found, and so we had 'silly season' stories. In these days of a global news reach, every day brings its bad news, and trivia to all tastes, then, the journalist made the silly season news.
If you read this pamphlet from the silly season of August 1614, you can sub-read the discussion between the hack ('A.R.') and his boss the publisher. There's nothing stirring. But a large snake has been seen on heathland near Horsham. A. R. is told to write it up, despite his protests that their last outrageous stretcher was exploded. The pamphlet shows some of his feelings. He starts off with a semi-apology, to the effect that some recent stories in print were perhaps a product of 'our forward credulity to but seeming true reports' or 'false copies translated from other languages'. But this one is true, he huffs, before signing off his introduction with an ambiguous protest, 'He that would send better news if he had it'.
A.R. then shows off for a few pages, with a gratuitous account of the matings of serpents, and of serpents in history: he is staking his claim to be a real writer and a learned man, far better than this subject allows him to be. Three or four pages of actually relevant material are sandwiched in the middle: it's a serpent ('some call it' a dragon - A.R. seems to mean, people like my get-penny boss here), about 9 feet long, which preys on a rabbit warren in Sussex. It is 'a quantity of thickness in the middest, and somewhat smaller at both ends' (so making it identifiable as a Monty Python). It might have feet, 'but the eye may be there deceived'. It apparently has lumps like footballs on its back, from which its dragon wings may one day grow. A. R. now fibs like the pro he is: it can project venom so far (with two human casualties and two dead dogs already) that no-one can really witness its horror properly and survive. A.R. opines that 'when it shall please God', the serpent will be destroyed, it is rather something to be afraid of in a metaphorical, not literal sense: it is 'to be feared as an eclipse or fearfull comet'.
And he is away again, happy to leave behind this doubtfully veracious subject, and onto the subject of 'serpentine sinnes that live amongst us'. The serpent is an allegory of the corruption of the legal profession, or of drunkards (as it leaves a nauseous mess in its wake). Finally A.R. 'applies' the serpent to 'the Serpentine sisterhood of Brotherly (sic), the diseased Strumpetrie of the Suburbs'. The serpent has a white band round its neck, while you get only 'a white tiffanie about the necke of one of those tugging Gally-slaves of damnation'. There has to be a significant connection there.
And having somehow covered ten pages, he takes his money and runs, while the printer gets a promising boy artist to do the unabashed woodcut that will really sell the pamphlet. It's so good that he puts it in twice.

Thomas Shipman requests a kiss
Thomas Shipman: 'The Kiss, To Mrs. C.'
Hold not your Lips so close; dispence
Treasures, Perfumes, and Life from thence.
Squeeze not those full-ripe Cherries; this
Becomes a Simper, not a Kiss.
There's danger to lock up your Breath,
It Cousin-German is to Death.
None bags up wind, the Merchant swears,
Unless some wrinkled Laplanders.
What needs this Guard? It is small sence
Thus to hedge in a double Fence.
Clos'd Lips express but silent Blisses,
And at best are but dumb Kisses.
You are with Cupid little kind
To make him Dumb as well as Blind.
Such Smacks but shew a silent state;
Kisses should be articulate.
An open-mouted Kiss speaks sence,
It is the lover's eloquence.
Let your speak out then! There's no Bliss
To the Pronunciation of a Kiss.
~ a fairly standard 17th century lyric, but giving the impression of being personal and 'practical'. Some of Shipman's other poems have dedications after their titles to identifiable women ('Right choice at last, 1662' was his well-meant poem to his wife to be, though it does accidentally flaunt his track record with such as 'Mistress C', who perhaps had her own notions of osculatory decorum. Cavalier poetry featured lots of kiss poems, most graciously in the dialogue on a kiss Lawes set from Herrick. On the specific topic of what the 1930's began to call the 'French Kiss', this is a passage from Harington's translation of Orlando Furioso, with Rogero (Harington relishes his bawdy version of 'Ruggiero') getting it together with the sorceress Alcyna:
And look how close the Ivy doth embrace
The tree or branch about the which it grows,
So close the lovers couched in the place,
Each drawing in the breath the other blows:
But how great joys they found that little space,
We well may guess, but none for certain knows:
Their sport was such, so well they leere their couth,
That oft they had two tongues within one mouth.
My image, from the Weg Gallery of Art, is Bartholomeus van der Helst, ' Abraham del Court and Maria de Keersegieter' of 1654: the gentleman courting, the lady in the role of a rose in bud, still attached to its native and thorny bush.

Family Cycling, Burnham Beeches
I surmise that they are a family group, the mother behind her children; it must be late Edwardian. I like the way that the three women look at the camera, while the young man adopts an 'I have got to here, next I will go to there' gaze, his stance resolute as an explorer's. He is towing his younger sister, a slight figure (perhaps she was considered 'delicate'), using a single speed bicycle with just a front rod brake. The tracks in Burnham Beeches roll up and down, and any kind of descent must have been potentially alarming as her weight started to push him along. His immaculate high collar makes no concession, but he must have to work hard on the flat, up any rise, and in using his fixed wheel to fight the rotation of the pedals on the down slopes.
Cycling in its days of high respectability; while the mixture of dark and white in their clothes, and the sun coming through the trees, makes them seem as if they could blur into an impressionist painting.
I must have a look for bicycles in such paintings.

An Oxford Don Curses his Cat
'On lute strings cat-eaten'
Are these the strings that poets feign
Have clear'd the Ayre, and calm'd the main?
Charm'd wolves, and from the mountain crests
Made forests dance with all their beasts?
Could these neglected shreds you see
Inspire a Lute of Ivory
And make it speak? Oh! Think then what
Hath been committed by my cat,
Who, in the silence of this night
Hath gnawn these cords, and marr'd them quite; 10
Leaving such reliques as may be
For frets, not for my lute, but me.
Puss, I will curse thee: Mayst thou dwell
With some dry hermit in a cell
Where Rat ne're peeped, where mouse ne're fed
And flies go supperless to bed
Or with some close-pared Brother, where
Thou'lt fast each Sabbath in the year,
Or else, prophane, be hang'd on Monday
For butchering a mouse on Sunday 20
Or mays't thou tumble from some tower
And miss to light upon all four
Taking a fall that may untie
Eight of nine lives, and let them fly.
Or may the embers singe
Thy dainty coat, or Jane beswinge
Thy hide, when she shall take thee biting
Her cheese clouts, or her house beshiting.
What, was there ne're a rat or mouse
Nor buttery ope? Nought in the house 30
But harmless lutestrings could suffice
Thy paunch, and draw thy glaring eyes?
Did not thy conscious stomach find
Nature prophaned, that kind with kind
Should stanch his hunger? Think on that
Thou cannibal, and Cyclops cat.
For know, thou wretch, that every string
Is a cat-gut, which art did spin
Into a thread; and now suppose
Dunstan, that snuff'd the divel's nose 40
Should bid these strings revive, as once
He did the calf, from naked bones,
Or I, to plague thee for thy sin
Should draw a circle, and begin
To conjure, for I am, look to't
Then with three sets of mops and mows
Seven of odd words, and motley shows
A thousand tricks, that may be taken
From Faustus, Lamb, or Friar Bacon 50
I should begin to call my strings
(My catlings, and my minikins)
And they, recalled, straight should fall
To mew, to purr, to caterwaul
From Puss's belly. Sure, as death
Puss should be an Engastranith;
Puss should be sent for to the King
For a strange bird, or some rare thing,
Puss should be sought to far and near
As she some Cunning Woman were, 60
Puss should be carried up and down
From shire to shire, from town to town
Like to the camel, lean as hag,
The elephant, or apish nag
For a strange sight, Puss should be sung
In lousy ballads, midst the throng
At markets, with as good a grace
The Troy-sprung Briton would forgo
His pedigree he chaunteth so 70
And sing that Merlin – long deceased
Returned is in a nine-liv'd beast.
Thus Puss, thou seest what might betide thee -
But I forbear to hurt or chide thee
For maybe Puss was melancholy
And so to make her blithe and jolly
Finding these strings, she'd have a fit
Of mirth, nay, Puss, if that were it
Thus I revenge me, that as thou
Hast played on them, I've played on you 80
And as thy touch was nothing fine
So I've but scratched these notes of mine.
Thomas Master or Masters (1603-43), an
~ This playful poem deploys the classical sub-genre of dirae, curses, which had to be wittily apt to the subject of the curse. Donne's Elegy IV, 'The Perfume' is an example. His cat having eaten the lute strings, Masters finally arrives at the idea of using magic to reanimate the cut-gut strings, and so causing his "cannibal, and Cyclops cat" to turn "Engastranith" (56), which is in the OED in the form 'Engastromith', an early word for a ventriloquist. After his outburst, Masters charmingly forgives Puss for her misdemeanor.
The Puritan hanging his cat on a Monday (19ff) for having profaned the Sabbath by catching a mouse the day before was a common anti-puritan joke of the time. I can't find the story about St. Dunstan (40ff) reviving a calf from bones. Prior to his conversion, the Saint was supposed to have been a practitioner of black magic. That he tweaked the devil's nose with his metal-working pincers when the devil tried to tempt him in the form of a young woman is in the Golden Legend. The Devil Tavern in London was opposite St Dunstan's Church, and was properly 'The Devil and St Dunstan'; http://www.paintedchurch.org/bartduns.htm
gives fragment of a wall painting of this comic and popular legend.
There is a brief mention (61ff) of captive exotic animals then being shown around
(The image is a detail from Evaristo BASCHENIS, 'Still-life with Instruments', on the Web Gallery of Art)

'Deoppilative virtue': A Treatise of Warm Beer
I am not at all a hot weather person. I cycled this morning, and returned so over-heated, thirsty and tired that I set about a large amount of Pepsi Max full of ice cubes, and spent the rest of the afternoon slumped in front of the Tour de France coverage (otherwise, 'Let's try and get excited about the also-rans of previous years') with a mild headache.
In committing this minor folly, I ignored the wisdom of the anonymous author of this unlikely treatise of 1641, which spends 143 pages recommending that you take your drink (taken as virtually synonymous with beer) warm rather than cold.
The medical grounds for doing this seem overwhelming to the author. One F.W., writing a preface, argues that you can see that cold beer hinders the digestion if you inspect what people who overdo it on the cold stuff throw up. The author himself energetically defends a series of major and minor propositions on warm beer preventing the stone, making women more fertile, slowing down the aging process (and many more benefits), and certainly being something we should partake of if we want to follow the ancients, who, in their wisdom, he proves by extensive quotation, took their drink hot.
The argument that swung it for me came on the penultimate page, where he notes "That it [hot drink] is used at this day among whole nations I will prove by Giovani Petro Massei the Jesuite, who in his 6. booke of histories writes that they of China do for the most part drink the strained liquor of a herb called Chia hot". I too felt restored after a cup of cha (in English from 1616, the OED indicates, with an advertisment in Mercurius Politicus, 30 Sept. 1658 throughly informed about "That excellent drink called by the Chineans Tcha, by other nations Tay alias Tee." I shall demand a deoppilative (ie., obstruction-clearing) warm beer in the pub later on this evening. At least I think so.

Hi Jennifer.
So nice to see you and Nina in Austin. Really, Billy the Kid was fantastic. I'm so damn glad I ran through the treacherous storm to be there. It changed the way I felt about documentaries in general. I'm always wondering why people choose to capture the things they do. Usually I feel like it's to remind us that life is hard, we're all gonna die, and there's nothing we can do about it. Billy's story is the exact opposite. I was overwhelmed by the way he spoke, so honest and on point about things we all think about but never feel warranted enough to articulate. One of those sunshine flicks that tells a super particular story that reaches and touches all of us universally.
I'm so proud and excited for you. Thanks for pushing me to go. When I got to the Hannah after party I plugged that shit like they'd all just missed the chance of a lifetime.
See you back in NYC.
xo Ana

French architects Palatre & Leclere successfully managed to capture a child's imagination in their redesign of the Ecole Maternelle Pajol in Paris. First, they restored the building to its original design from the 1940s, then went all "Crayola" on it.
The street side is modest; a traditional-looking building with a small splash of color. But once inside, visitors are treated to bold colors and shapes strewn across the brick wall and straight-line designs. A rainbow theme is obvious throughout the entire structure, which houses four kindergarten classrooms, a playground, a dining room, a kitchen, a library and restrooms.
The redesign of the building is part of an initiative for the renewal of the 18E district in Paris.

Media Release – Do Ormond right next time – Legislative Council
Tuesday 6th June 2017
See Mornington Peninsula Shire's letter that lays out the Shire's fears of 3-storey development in Growth Residential Zones (GRZs) here.

Friday 24th March 2017
My contribution to the debate on the Victorian Planning Authority Bill which I talked about the densification objectives of the government's Plan Melbourne Refresh that will tear up Neighbourhood Zones and destroy Melbourne's liveability can be read here.
Tuesday 21st March 2017
In Parliament today, I spoke about the Labor Government's Plan Melbourne Refresh which will tear up neighbourhood zones, increase densification and destroy Melbourne's liveability. Listen here:
Tuesday 6th December 2016
The following will be put on the Notice Paper this week and it is our intention to move it in non-government business early next year.
I give notice that, on the next day of meeting, I will move —
That this House —
(1) expresses its grave concern at the lack of influence afforded to the neighbouring community over the proposed height and density of the Andrews Labor Government's planned intensification and overdevelopment of public land that was previously dedicated to public housing at the Markham Estate in Ashburton;
(2) recognises the legitimate desire of the local community to be consulted;
(3) recognises that the City of Boroondara is best placed to be the responsible authority for any planning decisions affecting the redevelopment of the Markham Estate;
(4) notes the Government intends to privatise the majority of the Markham Estate redevelopment, realising what have been described in government emails obtained under Freedom of Information requests as "super profits";
and calls on the Minister for Planning to absent himself from any decisions relating to the proposed redevelopment of the Markham Estate.
Thursday 17th November 2016
My article from the November 2016 issue of the Planning Institute Australia (Victorian Division) Planning News entitled "The Corkman Irish destruction: a wake-up call on Melbourne's heritage" and which touches on a number of current planning policy challenges and the failure of Labor's approach to these can be read here.
Wednesday 26th October 2016
Yesterday in Parliament, I made a members statement on the massive 13 storey 'Skytower' which Daniel Andrews is imposing on the Ormond community:
Mr DAVIS (Southern Metropolitan) — Last night I attended a large public meeting in Ormond. My colleagues Mr Southwick, the member for Caulfield in the other place, and Ms Crozier were also there, along with more than 100 members of the local community. The absolute fury and anger was palpable. This related directly to the Labor government's massive proposed sky tower in Ormond. The community are outraged because they were in no way consulted about the plan to build a massive tower.
The pad has been built over the level crossing removal. The level crossing removal is supported by everyone — in fact this one was funded by the previous government — but nobody was advised, including the Glen Eira council, that a massive concrete pad was to be built over the station. This came as a massive shock to the community. They are absolutely incensed that they are going to have a 13 to 20-storey tower built at this location.
There was no planning or attention paid to the impact on traffic or the amenity of the area. Ormond is three stories high around that area — this is completely and utterly out of sympathy. The community is up in arms, the community wants it stopped and the community does not believe that the level crossing removal should be paid for by this value capture when it was already funded by the previous government.
Tuesday 11 October 2016
Communities in Melbourne's east and south should be afraid – very afraid – of the "densification" outlined in Daniel Andrews' Infrastructure Victoria Draft 30 Year Infrastructure Strategy.
I told the Parliament today that the report also warns that "this rebalancing is unlikely to occur without intervention". Communities should not have densification forced on them. Listen to my comments here:
Daniel Andrews, you do not have my democratic consent for a return to the policies of your failed Melbourne 2030 experiment, nor to remove my valued neighbourhood residential zone protections. To proceed along this route will destroy Melbourne's liveability.

BOULDER — The upswing in men's college basketball fortunes within the state has captured the attention of Coloradans, and generated party atmospheres among the students in the stands in Boulder and Fort Collins.
Another hoops renaissance in the state has been lesser noticed.
Under third-year coach Linda Lappe, the University of Colorado women's team is 20-5 and ranked 20th in the country heading into its Pac-12 Conference home games Friday against Washington State and Sunday against Washington.
This is beginning to have the aura of the Buffs' glory years under Ceal Barry, who recruited and then coached Lappe from 1998-2003, and now is CU's associate athletic director. In Barry's 22 seasons, the Buffs earned 12 NCAA Tournament berths and three times reached the Elite Eight.
Because CU is playing host to first- and second-round games March 23 and 25, Lappe's Buffs automatically will have one and possibly two appearances at home if they make the NCAA Tournament. The use of "if" is only a formality. Realistically, the Buffs are in. Most important, it won't be host-team charity. They've earned it. With four league games and the Pac-12 Tournament remaining, four of the Buffs' five losses have come to national and Pac-12 powerhouses Stanford and California.
"You look at Colorado women's basketball, and we probably have the most tradition of any team," Lappe said after practice Wednesday. "That's what our team is challenged to do. We're challenged to bring that back. We haven't done that yet. But we're getting there. The respect for our program goes back a lot of years, and it starts with Ceal Barry."
Lappe, 32, smiled and added of the state's college basketball renaissance: "So, heck yes, we feel we're a huge part of that, no matter if anybody else thinks we are or not."
Absolutely, they're part of it.
"At CSU, our boys, and us, I think basketball in this state is doing a great job of bringing recognition back to Colorado," CU senior point guard Chucky Jeffery said. "I think it's been great for both of our programs. Our boys have had big wins, and so have we. I think we're bringing people back, making people realize they should come watch us again."
The Lady Buffs aren't filling the Coors Events Center, but the crowds again are respectable.
In fact, their home average of 3,107 is second in the Pac-12 — behind only Stanford — and they drew 6,688 for the most recent Coors Events Center appearance, a victory over Oregon on Feb. 10.
Jeffery, from Colorado Springs, started in 2009-10 as a much-touted recruit and freshman in the final year of Kathy McConnell-Miller's five-season tenure as Barry's successor.
After taking over for the fired McConnell-Miller, Lappe said one of her goals was to change the culture of the program. Jeffery bought in early.
"When you have a coaching change, you have to be ready to adjust," Jeffery said. "At that point, all of us were freshmen all over again and everybody had to prove what kind of players they were.
"I think she noticed I could take on the point guard role and she believed in me."
Lappe said she always will be grateful to Jeffery for her role in the transition.
"She is a really talented player, and it could be argued that she's our best player," Lappe said. "You want your best player to be the hardest worker, and you want her to be totally on board with what you're doing as a coach. And you also need that from your point guard. She happens to do and be all of those things."
Now, as a senior, Jeffery is leading the Buffs in scoring at 13.4 points, just ahead of freshman Arielle Roberson (12.0). Surprisingly, the 5-foot-10 guard also leads the Buffs in rebounding, in part because she charges to the boards as her bigger teammates concentrate on boxing out at the defensive end.
Now about the name …
Jeffery has told the story many times, but she cheerfully went through it again Wednesday. Her official first name is Janeesa, but her parents had planned to name a boy after her great-grandfather Charles. "So they made Chucky my nickname and it's grown with me, stuck with me this whole way," she said.

However, for the coming Super Bowl on Sunday, security has been upped considerably, and it is believed that this is the most secure Super Bowl to have happened ever! Super Bowl is already a National Special Security Event, and this video demonstrates the security measures in place, at this Super Bowl, 2012.
The technologies used by the department of Homeland Security, for this Super Bowl include, but are not limited to Mobile Gamma-ray Vehicle Scanners (can look through six inches of steel), Mobile command Center and non-exploding manhole covers. The Department of Homeland Security has built an $18 million Regional Operations Center over 76,000 square foot at Indianapolis, which will co-ordinate all federal agencies involved in the Super Bowl. Besides the mega-command center, there is another million-dollar mobile command center, which has been built by Verizon.
In addition to these measures, they have also set up a surveillance network of cameras, which can be accessed through a web address. Cameras will also be deployed on helicopters and moving vehicles.
With every passing year, the Super Bowl gets bigger and this upped security brings out the best in all law enforcement agencies. Enjoy a safe Super Bowl, this Sunday.

What are spaces for social innovation (SSI)? What do they do? What spaces deserve to be under the SSI umbrella? This may sound as obvious questions. From the name itself, "spaces for social innovation", it seems that these spaces define themselves through their purpose. In a previous post I discussed that "for", refers to "intended to benefit or help something". Spaces for social innovation are thus spaces that benefit… social innovation. Is it this clear though?
SIX defines experimental spaces for social innovation as "labs, hubs, incubators and accelerators designed to catalyze and grow social innovation". Indeed, this informal definition, as well as others similar ones seem closely related to the argument above. I decided to look at different types of spaces that talk about social innovation in their purposes. Though some of them have a rounded up purpose that addresses clearly and exclusively social innovation processes and outcomes, other use various terms to describe their activity and their affiliation with social innovation. Do they count in the same amount? Below are some examples of different purposes from different spaces, experimental or not, physical or digital from all around the world.
- Social Innovation Camp "matches software developers and those with an understanding of a social problem to help them start and grow technology-based social ventures."
- IkasHUB aims " to develop personal skills and generate new ideas with value for the society"
- 27th Region intents "to provide the other regions with the space and opportunity to design and develop innovative approaches to policy. Its goal is to foster creativity, social innovation and sustainability in public institutions, through community projects, prototyping and design thinking."
- The Social Innovation Factory "will unite different players and actors in Flemish civil society to find answers to challenges like poverty, urbanization, multiculturalism, ageing populations and climate change".
- The LSE Innovation Co-Creation Lab "seeks to reduce poverty and promote basic human freedoms through successful business model innovation.
My questions are:
Which are spaces for social innovation?
Which are not?
How did you decide?
Moving on, I must also consider looking at different spaces that represent social innovation initiatives or projects unlimited in time. They are usually either focused on addressing a particular social need or address only a narrow audience. An example that I am particularly fond of is the Mess Hall, an experimental cultural center, in Chicago, that hosts all kind of events and activities but is also opened to anyone who wants to contribute at creating culture. The center is community driven and no admission fee is charged for lectures, readings, workshops, and other events. Neither do they sell anything or write grants. The Hand Made book, by Tessy Britton offers several other similar examples and so do her Community Lover's guides for those interested in these types of spaces and initiatives. Are we still looking at spaces for social innovation? And if so, where would one draw the line?

First I wanted to say THANK YOU for all my great comments! You helped me decide which one to order, so THANK YOU! I fell in LOVE with #1 also…it was my favorite but after measuring the actual piece and measuring my dining room table, it was HUGE…It would be wonderful for someone that had a big dining room but mine is very small and it would have been WAY to large for the room. SO, I chose #2! I can't wait to get it up. I will take before and after shots. Thanks again!
Here is a simple idea on a way to add décor to your bathroom. This piece was my grandmothers; she used to keep cotton balls in it. I sprinkled some sand, a few shells and ta da! CHEAP and EASY. So if your trying to think of ways to decorate with stuff you already have, try this. I know some of you have q-tip glass containers, I think it would be cute with different things in them.
Tomorrow Jim and I leave for a 3 day cruise to the Bahamas. I must go pack!

Rachael's Week in BBC Radio 2014:23-24
Listened To: Biggest Secret, a play about various British people on the day before D-Day (with Benedict Cumberbatch), and the first series of the sitcom Clayton Grange which is about a group of somewhat inept scientists (with Anthony Head). Also, lots of comedy panel show episodes: two most recent episodes of News Quiz, the pilot for a new one called Listomania, and the three most recent episodes of Just a Minute. Somewhat surprisingly for me, Just a Minute was the favorite this week.
Coming Up: Two weeks, last week and this upcoming week, again. Asterisks are on the ones airing this upcoming week because there's only a few of those. Most are from last week. There aren't many individual entries overall because they're starting a new series of Dangerous Visions, dramatizations of dystopic stories that I'm super excited about, and that's filling most of the time for things like the afternoon drama. There are a few other random plays, dramatizations, and comedy panel shows repeats, pilots, and new series, etc. airing, but the Dangerous Visions run is definitely the winner for me.
Anything good y'all listened to recently or looking forward to next week?
Coming Up: Two weeks, last week and this upcoming week, again. Asterisks are on the ones airing this upcoming week because there's only a few of those. Most are from last week. There aren't many individual entries overall because they're starting a new series of Dangerous Visions, dramatizations of dystopic stories that I'm super excited about, and that's filling most of the time for things like the afternoon drama. There are a few other random plays, dramatizations, and comedy panel shows repeats, pilots, and new series, etc. airing, but the Dangerous Visions run is definitely the winner for me.
- Listened to 1 to 14 June:
- Biggest Secret
- This radio play was made 10 years ago for the D-Day 60th anniversary then re-aired this year for the 70th. It follows the adventures of various British people ont he day before D-day. It is one of those plays with lots of different characters doing their things and all the stories intersect once or twice but don't really add up to a whole beyond the theme or the feel. I think it worked OK as a slice of life of life in an odd moment kind of thing. There's a companion German play, The Long Wait, that I wanted to listen to during D-Day week as well, but I didn't have time. I should get to it this week.
- Clayton Grange
- This is a sitcom about a science lab trying to solve all the world's problems, but they're a bit incompetent and generally muddled messes. The premise is good for a sitcom, but I always wanted a bit more. I don't know, It was like the jokes were sort of smirk worthy but never laugh worthy I guess. The best bit was a running gag that had Anthony Head yelling "What about the prawn!?" in an increasingly frustrated way every episode. A new second series just starting airing and I'll give it a shot, I guess.
- Comedy Panel Shows
- Just a Minute 69: 2-4
- I've been a bit burnt out on Just a Minute lately, but these three episodes were all pretty good and kind of got me back into it. This is definitely a panel game that is at its best when not actually playing the game and this episodes really worked with that. For the Cumberbatch fans on the flist, there's a bit in episode 3 where they randomly start making fun of his name (you know, Cumberbitch, Cucumberpatch, etc.). Whether that is a plus or minus, I leave up to you to decide.
- The News Quiz 84: 1 & 2
- I usually love News Quiz and am ever so excited when it comes back, but these two episodes were just kind of there. They were entertaining and interesting, but just averagely so. Oh wel. Not every episode can be a standout.
- Listomania: Pilot
- This new panel show is hosted by Susan Calman. She's been growing on me lately and I think she did well as the host. She spoke rather fast, which sometimes worked and sometimes made it a bit difficult to understand. The premise of this panel show is just rounds about lists: which of two lists do items belong on (e.g. sexiest bald men or most powerful bald men), what should be on a reverse bucket list of things to never do again in your life, items for a random topic (e.g. quirk for a new TV detective), etc. As with most pilots, it was alittle rough, but I think this could work and be another enjoyable background noise panel show.
- Downloading 8 to 21 June:
- One-Shots
- Deadheading - Omnibus
- I don't know much about this, just that it is a comedy detective play with Miriam Margolyes. I don't need to know more than that, though. This is the omnibus but it is also a daily 15 Minute Drama.
- The Seagull (Drama on 3)
- Adaptation of an Anton Chekhov play about dissatisfied and unhappy people.
- To Hull and Back
- Pilot for a new sitcom about a woman and her mom who run a car boot sale business, except mom never wants to part with anything.
- *Bretton Woods
- A play about a meeting of economists, including John Maynard Keynes, in 1944 to discuss what the world economy will look like once WWII ends. Could be dreadfully boring or terribly interesting, but I'm definitely the type who will find it interesting if it gives me the least chance.
- *Modesty Blaise Series 2
- Modesty Blaise was originally a daily newspaper comic strip that serialized the adventures of a young woman agent / spy / adventurer/ whatever (James Bond-ish). There's been one previous radio adaptation that I've listened to. It was OK but not amazing. The action just didn't translate quite right. The first run at some is often rough around the edges so I'm hoping the second will be a bit better. This is the omnibus version, but it is also available as the daily 15 Minute Drama.
- *Laurie Lee - I Call Me Adam
- A play based on the story of what happened to the infamous crew of the ship Bounty after their mutiny. This is on next Saturday and is the start of a week's worth of stuff by Laurie Lee. I'll figur out what I want from the rest later since it's over a week out right now and not on the main schedule yet, but you can see a rundown of everything here.
- Daily Multi-Episode Programs Starting This Week
- Dangerous Visions
- I'm super excited about this! It is a whole bunch of adaptation of dystopic scifi novels and short stories or new plays riffing off those ideas. Radio 4 did the same thing last summer and they were really good (at least, the ones I've listened to were). I'm most excited about two Ray Bradbury adaptations this time (Illustrated Man and Martian Chronicles with Derek Jacobi).
- LP Hartley - The Hireling (Classic Serial)
- Dramatization of a mystery / thriller about a chauffeur and the widow with whom he falls in love but she does not return his affections. Hooray midcentury British class system!
- *Charles Dickens - The Mystery of Edwin Drood
- Dramatization of Dickens' unfinished final novel.
- *Monsieur Pamplemousse Investigates
- Dramatization of one of a series of silly mystery novels about a detective and his talking dog.
- Weekly Multi-Episode Programs Starting This Week
- JM Barrie - Peter Pan
- Dramatization of the children's fantasy novel.
- Party
- This is a repeat sitcom that I swear I've downloaded before but I can't find it so I guess not. Anyway, it is about a group of young people disillusioned with government and seeking to form a new political party to change things, but they're not quite sure what they mean by that. Series 2 is airing as soon as Series 1 ends.
- Clayton Grange
- As mentioned above, I just listened to series 1 this week and thought it was only OK. I'm willing to give series 2 a try but if the first episode doesn't grab me a bit more, I might give up on it.
- Comedy Panel Shows
There was a new panel show pilot on Radio 3 called Listomania. Susan Calman is the host and the theme is lists of stuffs (go figure).
The Loser's World Cup is a brief panel show featuring comedians from nations that didn't qualify for the World Cup this year.
The News Quiz and Just a Minute are in the middle of new series. Museum of Curiosity, Heresy, and Act Your Age are running repeats.
Anything good y'all listened to recently or looking forward to next week?

Tips For Safe Online Buying and Selling
Buying and selling online can be very satisfying. Not only do you get to find something of value and unique, the experience is usually something worth telling. Hopefully, it's always a good one. Here are some buying and selling tips to make sure you have a win-win exchange, avoiding troubles and scams along the way.
You think you and an item you found on OLX are meant to be, so now it's time to start asking the real questions. Once you hit "Contact Seller," here's what to do next:
Buyer Tip #1: Interested in an item? Ask the seller lots of questions!
Legit sellers would usually answer quickly and confidently. Here are some suggested questions you might want to ask:
- Is the item still available?
- What is the item's condition?
- Why are you selling the item?
- Are you available to meet up?
- Specific questions about the item – where it was bought, how old it is, the specs, etc.
If these questions were answered with confidence, chances are, you have found the right seller!
Buyer Tip #2: Pics or not legit: Ask for more actual photos of the item.
Legit sellers on OLX would have their item in hand or within reach, so asking them for additional photos shouldn't be a problem. Don't be afraid to ask for more! Be more specific if you need to. Ask for different angled shots. Don't be shy!
Buyer Tip #3: Choose to meet up as much as possible — and bring someone with you!
It's always better to meet up with your seller. Transacting online runs the risk of being ghosted, and nobody wants that! You can avoid being scammed 99% of the time if you deal with someone near you. Choose a nearby, familiar, and well-guarded place — and if possible, take someone with you.
Also, always think twice before parting with your money, especially if it's for a high-priced item. We strongly advise against wire transferring huge amounts of money, especially to someone you haven't met.
Buyer Tip #4: During meet ups, inspect the item CLOSELY!
When meeting with a seller, make sure you're completely satisfied with the item before you give your payment. Don't be afraid to hesitate or haggle if you think the item's not as advertised or as promised. It's your right to refuse!
Buyer Tip #5: Followed steps 1-4?
Enjoy your purchase! 🙂
Someone took interest in your item, but how do you make sure they're the real deal? Get your item's worth by following the 3 simple steps below. Rest assured, you'll have a win-win exchange in no time.
Seller Tip #1: Be honest. Don't hide anything.
When advertising your item on OLX, make sure what you say is true and nothing but the truth! It saves people's time, including yours. Nobody likes to be lied to — and if your item has scratches, dents or even slightly torn, it's better for you to be honest now than later.
If they don't like that, then they're not the right buyer. It's okay, it will come! One that will love your item, flaws and all.
Seller Tip #2: Encourage meet ups — and be safe!
Buyers who refuse to meet up or talk on the phone is a big red flag. Prefer buyers near your area for less hassle. And if they really want the item, they'll find a way. They also get to inspect the item, and you'll know your item will be in good hands when you see them in person.
Seller Tip #3: Don't ship an item without payment.
You might as well be saying bye bye to your item when you ship it without any payment. And remember, you're not Santa Claus! So again, prefer meet-ups and bring a friend with you. As long as you're safe, you won't regret it.
Seller Tip #4: Be wary of buyers asking you to ship an item abroad.
If a buyer gives you a shipping address outside of the country, be cautious. Make sure you're covered by asking for the payment in advance. We highly recommend you avoid using Paypal for payments for this type of scenario. Instead, go with money transfer services or bank deposit.
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Just follow these steps and you'll surely have a win-win exchange! And remember: being honest is key to a winning community. Stay alert and let's all #WinWithCybersecurity!
Happy buying and selling!

Barrington High School in Illinois is apologizing after two students performed a skit on Friday at the 2016 Illinois Junior Classical Convention, depicting a slave auction, NBC Chicago reports.
The two students at Barrington performed the skit during the "roll call," in which each school participating in the competition displayed their knowledge of Greek and Roman cultures, sent up representatives to introduce the school.
In the skit one of the students had a chain around his neck, as his schoolmate tried to "sell" him.
"Today we are going to have a Barrington bro for sale," one of the students was recorded saying.
The school left some outraged, according to NBC Chiago.
"Watching a live slave auction, complete with chains, it was a bit much. It was overwhelming," Kenwood Academy parent Danielle McDaniels, who was watching in the audience, told the station.
After the skit, the teacher who coached the students apologized during the convention.
"I am truly, truly sorry," the teacher said.
"Barrington School District offers sincere apologies to those offended by the actions of our high school students participating in the Illinois Junior Classical Convention this weekend. We understand the concern and are reviewing the incident with students and staff who were involved," Barrington School District responded in a written statement after the outcries.
A student at Barrington who was involved also apologized the next day for the skit .

EAO expands Series 45: Innovative, intuitive, reliable and aesthetic ID keylock switches.
Ideal for implementing electronic access control systems in industrial environments.
Olten, Switzerland, January 2017 – EAO, the expert partner for innovative, intuitive and reliable Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs), offers a vast range of high-specification functions for machine operation with its Series 45. Thanks to innovative Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology and an aesthetically pleasing design, EAO's new Series 45 ID keylock switches are ideal for implementing electronic access control systems in industrial environments with ease. The switches offer a low profile design to match other functions in the Series 45 range.
These intuitive actuators can authenticate up to four users or groups. The pre-programmed ID keys can each enable one digital output. All the user needs to do is insert their blue, red, yellow or green ID key – corresponding to his authorisation level – and this provides them with the pre-defined functions of the four 45° switching positions. The key can be pulled out at any time, which will disable the function immediately.
- Intuitive and ease of use
- Authentication of up to 4 users or groups
- Robust in use
- Modular construction and quick mounting
- Aesthetic design, matching Series 45
- Innovative RFID technology
The plastic coating of the ID keylock switches and the ID keys provide the units with IP65 protection, making them ideal even for harsh environments with operating temperatures ranging from -25°C to +70°C and an operating voltage of 24 VDC. The aesthetically appealing, modular design also makes the ID keylock switches particularly attractive. Thanks to the anti-rotation device and the innovative snap-on design, they can be quickly mounted without special tools.

The Watergate office building, home of the infamous break-in that led to President Richard M. Nixon's resignation, is under contract to be sold to District-based private equity real estate investor Penzance Cos., according to two sources familiar with the deal.
The deal is expected to close later this fall according to the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the sale has not been completed.
The sale would mark the second sale of the building, at 2600 Virginia Ave. NW, in six years, following a 2005 deal in which a group led by BentleyForbes, a private Los Angeles-based investor in high-end office buildings, bought the property for $84.5 million from TrizecHahn Corp.
A spokeswoman for Penzance declined to comment, citing a company policy against discussing deals that have not closed. Penzance is an investor and owner of office buildings in the District and Northern Virginia, including 1101 and 1130 Connecticut Avenue, and plans to develop a new 300,000-square-foot office building in Clarendon.
The 11-story, 198,000-square-foot office building was still new in 1972 when thieves broke into the sixth-floor offices of the Democratic National Committee, alerting a security guard and beginning a chain of events that drove Nixon from the presidency and gave the building's name to the historic scandal.
The 10-acre Watergate complex has six buildings and overlooks the Potomac River, but recent attempts to upgrade its properties have not fared well.
Last year Euro Capital Properties bought the neglected Watergate Hotel, its 251 rooms vacant since 2007, for $45 million, with plans to restore it to a luxury property. The hotel became available after another developer, Monument Realty of D.C., purchased the hotel in 2004 with plans to transform the rooms into luxury condominiums, but lost the building to foreclosure after defaulting on a $40 million loan amidst the financial crisis.
When BentleyForbes purchased the office building in 2005, it issued a press release saying, "the underlying market fundamentals, stable tenant base and quality of the asset made this investment a strong addition" to the company's portfolio.
But four years later, one of the firm's investors in the deal, Capri Capital Partners, the Chicago-based investment managers of the Capri Urban Investors private equity fund, sued BentleyForbes in the circuit court of Cook County, Ill., in an effort to remove BentleyForbes as manager of the Watergate building.
Phone calls and e-mails to BentleyForbes were not returned. Capri representatives referred calls to Eastdil Secured, which is brokering the sale. Eastdil did not return calls for comment.
