An introduction to The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories
- Article written by: Chris Power
- Themes: Gender and sexuality, Fantasy and fairy tale, Literature 1950–2000
- Published: 25 May 2016
In The Bloody Chamber we encounter some of the best-known stories in Western literature – fairy tales by Charles Perrault, Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont and the Brothers Grimm – twisted into extraordinary new shapes. The collection, published in 1979, was Angela Carter's ninth book of fiction, and while channels of fairy tales and myth run through her prior work, nowhere does she engage with those genres so directly and disruptively as here. The journalist and critic Lorna Sage, a close friend of Carter's and an insightful reader of her work, describes how throughout the 1970s she became 'more explicitly and systematically interested in narrative models that pre-date the novel: fairy tales, folktales, and other forms that develop by accretion and retelling'.[1]

Carter's approach wasn't new. Robert Coover rewrote 'Little Red Riding Hood' and 'Hansel and Gretel' in his 1969 collection Pricksongs and Descants; two years later the poet Anne Sexton published her revisionist take on fairy tales, Transformations; and in 1976 came Bruno Bettelheim's Freudian analysis of fairy tales, The Uses of Enchantment. Earlier in the century, meanwhile, the Danish writer Isak Dinesen (Karen Blixen) had written a sequence of complex gothic variants on northern European folk models, stories that should rightly be considered forerunners to The Bloody Chamber. But if Carter's point of origin was far from unique, her destination would prove to be.

In 1977 she published her own translation of Charles Perrault's fairy tales. By retelling these tales, writes Sage, Carter was 'deliberately drawing them out of shape … The monsters and the princesses lose their places in the old script, and cross forbidden boundary lines'.[2] Carter's variations on three of these stories – 'Bluebeard', 'Puss in Boots' and 'Little Red Riding Hood' – usefully demonstrate the variations in tone that exist between what Carter called her 'reformulations'. Her 'Bluebeard', entitled 'The Bloody Chamber', is an elaborate, disturbing tale of sexual predation and victimhood, the lush descriptiveness and mounting tension of which threatens to make the reader complicit in the exploitative, pornography-inspired lust of the sadistic Marquis. 'Puss-in-Boots', contrastingly, is a screwball sex comedy, while, in the stranger reaches of the book, 'Little Red Riding Hood' splits itself into three stories that, as in a hall of mirrors, accentuate different parts of the original (or 'develop by accretion and retelling', to remind ourselves of Sage's phrase). In 'The Werewolf', the heroine's granny turns out to be the wolf; in 'The Company of Wolves' (later filmed by Neil Jordan, with a script co-written by Carter) Red Riding Hood bats away the wolf's threatening advances and willingly takes him to bed ('The girl burst out laughing; she knew she was nobody's meat'); and in 'Wolf-Alice' a girl raised by wolves is taken in by a lycanthropic duke. In this loose trilogy we see the different strategies Carter employs when deconstructing these old stories: sometimes tweaking the familiar into oddness, sometimes reaching back to earlier versions that pre-date Perrault or Grimm, and sometimes letting her own inventiveness seize the reins.

Gender politics
One thing common to all the stories in The Bloody Chamber, however, is the centrality of gender politics: 'I was using the latent content of those traditional stories', she said in a 1985 interview, 'and that latent content is violently sexual.' Carter published another book in 1979, an extended essay on pornography and the Marquis de Sade called The Sadeian Woman, that has been described as 'a parallel text, or polemical preface' to The Bloody Chamber. In it, she argues that despite Sade's evident misogyny, he was nevertheless correct to treat 'all sexual reality as political reality'. She is particularly interested in two of Sade's female characters, Justine and Juliette. The former is a sexual stereotype: meek, collusive in her own victimisation at the hands of predatory males. Juliette, meanwhile, is as sexually domineering as any man. While she states that separately these types are 'both ... without hope', nevertheless they 'mutually reflect and complement one another, like a pair of mirrors'.

Angela Carter composed The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories during the same period as she worked on The Sadeian Woman, a long essay examining pornography, power and sexuality through the work of the 18th century French aristocrat, the Marquis de Sade.View images from this item (7)

It would be going too far to describe the young women in Carter's two versions of 'Beauty and the Beast' as being entirely analogous to Justine and Juliette, but there is a pointed difference in how they respond to the way their father uses them to settle his debts. In 'The Courtship of Mr Lyon' we encounter demureness, resignation:
Do not think she had no will of her own; only, she was possessed by a sense of obligation to an unusual degree and, besides, she would gladly have gone to the ends of the earth for her father, whom she loved dearly.
It is significant here that Beauty, whose name diminishes her to a single attribute of male-determined value, doesn't tell her own story: Carter's use of the third-person robs her of agency. The heroine of 'The Tiger's Bride', in contrast, tells her story in the first-person, and although she is similarly trapped at the outset – her father, having lost everything at the card table to a masked Italian nobleman, stakes her as his final wager – she is fully aware, and ready to exploit the fact that her flesh is 'my sole capital in the world'. She becomes a prisoner of the Beast, and is given a chamber with an automaton maid where she takes the measure of her situation:
I certainly meditated on the nature of my own state, how I had been bought and sold, passed from hand to hand. That clockwork girl who powdered my cheeks for me; had I not been allotted only the same kind of imitative life amongst men that the doll-maker had given her?
By the end of the story, after she has defied the Beast's wishes several times, she perceives an affinity between them, and eventually rejects the opportunity to return to the world that, despite her wealth and privilege, has kept her shackled. Instead she embraces the Beast, the strokes of whose rough tongue 'ripped off skin after successive skin, all the skins of a life in the world':
The sweet thunder of his purr shook the old walls, made the shutters batter the windows until they burst apart and let in the white light of the snowy moon. Tiles came crashing down from the roof; I heard them fall into the courtyard far below. The reverberations of his purring rocked the foundations of the house, the walls began to dance. I thought: 'It will all fall, everything will disintegrate.'
'The Snow Child'
Carter's depiction of transactional sexual relations is starkest in 'The Snow Child', which boils down 'Snow White' to a harsh Freudian reading: jealous hatred of mother for daughter, lust of father for daughter. Of all the collection, it is closest to fairy tale in its matter-of-fact presentation of a magical reality:
Midwinter – invincible, immaculate. The Count and his wife go riding, he on a grey mare and she on a black one, she wrapped in the glittering pelts of black foxes; and she wore high, black, shining boots with scarlet heels, and spurs. Fresh snow fell on snow already fallen; when it ceased, the whole world was white. 'I wish I had a girl as white as snow,' says the Count. They ride on. They come to a hole in the snow; this hole is filled with blood. He says: 'I wish I had a girl as red as blood.' So they ride on again; here is a raven, perched in a bare bough. 'I wish I had a girl as black as that bird's feathers.'
As soon as he completed her description, there she stood, beside the road, white skin, red mouth, black hair and stark naked; she was the child of his desire and the Countess hated her.
The rest of this strange, spare story (barely longer than a page) details the various attempts the Countess makes to kill the girl. On each unsuccessful occasion, another item of the Countess's clothing springs from the older woman to the young one. Everything the Countess possesses is a token of her attractiveness to the Count; if this young woman usurps her, she will be naked in the wilderness and will quickly die. Eventually, the Countess succeeds in killing the girl, at which:
Weeping, the Count got off his horse, unfastened his breeches and thrust his virile member into the dead girl. The Countess reined in her stamping mare and watched him narrowly; he was soon finished.

Explicit references to the Snow White tale, from which Angela Carter draws her alternative reading, can be found in this heavily modified typescript draft of 'The Snow Child', here titled 'The Sleeping Beauty'.View images from this item (30)

Shocks, slaps and snares
It is a shocking, indelible moment; one of several in the book the near-constant atmosphere of menace erupts. Another occurs in 'The Bloody Chamber', when the narrator discovers one of her husband's pornographic books:
… I opened the doors of the bookcase idly to browse. And I think I knew, I knew by some tingling of the fingertips, even before I opened that slim volume with no title at all on the spine, what I should find inside. When he showed me the Rops, newly bought, dearly prized, had he not hinted that he was a connoisseur of such things? Yet I had not bargained for this, the girl with tears hanging on her cheeks like stuck pearls, her c*nt a split fig below the great globes of her buttocks on which the knotted tails of the cat were about to descend, while a man in a black mask fingered with his free hand his prick, that curved upwards like the scimitar he held.
From the first sentence the text has been swarming with sexual intimation, hints and allusions ('the great pistons ceaselessly thrusting the train that bore me through the night, away from Paris, away from girlhood, away from the white, enclosed quietude of my mother's apartment'), but only now does the cruelty and violence that lies beneath the Marquis's luxurious lifestyle fully reveal itself. It is a slap readers do not forget: for the rest of the book we are on edge, a state that Carter skilfully (and often gleefully) exploits.
Other snares wait for the unwary reader. In 'The Erl-King' and 'The Werewolf', we suspect the stories we are being told are not quite accurate. The heroine of 'The Erl-King' appears to kill her supernatural captor, but why does the narrative shift from first- to third-person in the final sentences? Why will the fiddle she strings with her victim's hair 'play discordant music without a hand touching it', and cry out '"Mother, mother, you have murdered me!"' This ending forges a strong link to 'The Juniper Tree' and 'The Singing Bone', Grimm stories in which murdered innocents issue accusations from beyond the grave. In 'The Werewolf', a short, powerful piece of gothic, Red Riding Hood's own grandmother is the murderous wolf. The proof is that the girl cuts off the wolf's paw, only for it to turn back into the old woman's hand. She is stoned to death by her neighbours, but is her granddaughter's testimony to be believed? The final line – 'Now the child lived in her grandmother's house; she prospered' – suggests a ruthless survival instinct, and prompts more questions than it answers.
When she indicates the possibility of these alternative readings, Carter seems to be warning us that we would be foolish to take any fairy tale at face value. 'I'm in the demythologising business', she wrote in 1983, 'I'm interested in myths … because they are extraordinary lies designed to make people unfree'. Her methods and her results were various: comic, cruel, seductive, disturbing. Perhaps one of the reasons why The Bloody Chamber was such a controversial work, and remains a contested one today, is because it doesn't conform to a single position, for example orthodox feminism, but shape-shifts from story to story. So some critics attack Carter's reduction of all men to predatory sadists, while others regret that her heroines, however resourceful and independent, still mostly want to bag a man. But Carter was an artist, not an ideologue; she told the stories she wanted to tell, and they are not stories that make a single point, or follow a specific ideology. She said that 'provoking unease' is the only moral purpose of a tale, and she was always more interested in confounding beliefs than confirming them. Like the fairy tales she transmuted, and the folktales that came before them, there are all sorts of spaces in her stories – a maze of chambers – into which interpretation can flow.

Of all Andrew Lloyd Webber's musicals; Cats is a firm favourite with most musical theatre fans and this latest production at Altrincham Garrick is something not to be missed, saving the best for the finale in their season.
Winston Churchill once represented the town of Oldham as a Member of Parliament. Over a century later, the former Prime Minister would no doubt be delighted to see the glorious Coliseum Theatre producing a political play concerning the relationship between a monarch and a Conservative leader. He also wrote that 'History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it', and it is the tricky subject of legacy and perception that Moira Buffini tackles in this 2013 satirical comedy.
First things first; I'm a scaredy-cat and don't watch horror films - in fact I purposely go out of my way to avoid them. So, imagine my terror on entering the auditorium for ghostly play; The House on Cold Hill at Manchester Opera House.
The Kingdom Choir is a British gospel choir, led by Karen Gibson that has been established for over 20 years. The group shot to fame after performing 'Stand By Me' at the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle last year. They are currently touring their Stand By Me show, and it is one not to be missed.
The highly anticipated all female cast and women-lead production of Hamlet opened last night at Manchester's hidden gem Hope Mill Theatre.
A sly charming manipulator? A master of twisting truths? A divided nation? Sound dreadfully familiar? Who says Shakespeare's plays aren't relevant anymore? Headlong Theatre's timely touring production of 'Richard III' succeeds in delivering a resonant vision of a soul corrupt in the pursuit of power with an incredible lead performance.
'Remembering The Movies' is a celebration of Hollywood films and musicals and stars Strictly Come Dancing's Aljaz Skorjanec and Janette Manrara. Supported by ten dancers and two live singers, Aljaz and Janette pay homage to a broad range of films and musicals: sometimes putting their own stamp on iconic dances, sometimes reproducing the originals.
The names of Rodgers and Hammerstein will always quicken the pulse of any lover of the golden age of musical theatre, and expectations are sky high in Manchester this evening as the world tour of 'The King and I' begins at the Opera House. This show has garnered four Tony Awards and critical acclaim since 2015, following a successful run on Broadway and at the London Palladium, now audiences all over the UK will have the chance to share in the glittering splendour of this lavish production.
Sale and Altrincham Musical Theatre were welcomed to the Waterside in Sale on Tuesday evening for their production of Jekyll and Hyde. This well-known gothic tale by Robert Louis Stevenson was first published in 1886 and there have been many successful stage adaptations since. Tonight's performance was certainly an unforgettable interpretation.
The family drama has been a staple around the world. This play written by Andrew Bovell is set in modern day Australia. The set by Juliet Jones is lovely and the entire play takes place in the family's garden, however despite how nice the set looks, the play is filled with sadness.
The Orange Peel is a new production by TilThisNight that explores class, place and obsession through the eyes of a grieving 28-year-old writer, played by Karl Falconer. In this ambitious performance, Liverpudlian siblings Michael and Dani confront each other's choices of partners and careers over a painfully disastrous and increasingly dramatic dinner party.

Helped IT teams to better optimize performance for their business applications
Exinda provides innovative tools for high-performance network orchestration and WAN optimization. Its solutions make business applications perform better for over 4000 organizations worldwide.
When we first met Exinda, they were seeking a fresh, new user interface for their suite of network analytics applications. What made this project unique was that the application features were already complete, but the visual design needed an overhaul from top to bottom. Their goal was to make it more consistent across applications, and to make it easier for IT teams to understand how users, traffic, devices, and applications were behaving across networks.
We created a series of templates to establish a visual style guide that the Exinda development team could apply to the current product, and also extend in the future.
When designing for the display of information, a typeface is one of the most critical elements of the overall design — especially for numeric data. We chose Oxygen Light, a free Google web font, because it's clear and legible, it's well kerned, and it works well at all sizes. The numerals especially lend themselves well to this type of application.
A data analytics application revolves around one thing: graphs. We designed new graphing templates that applied Exinda's new colour palette.
Time series graphs are used extensively in this application, so we designed a quick way to observe activity at high granularity. Hovering inside the graph reveals a flag showing data value and time.
This application called for many instances of layered graphs. We designed a method for displaying layers using 10 new colors for the stroke, as well as a 15% opacity version for the fill to limit visual weight.
Progress bar-style graphs can be rather hard to read when done improperly. We designed new progress bars using high-contrast colored fills inside a light gray background, and located label text on top of the bar.
Who doesn't like donuts? Yes, they are the same semantically as a pie chart. But by hollowing out the center of each circle, we reduced visual weight and made these popular charts better match the rest of the application's user interface.

Ethics in ABA
|Posted on August 18, 2017 at 8:55 AM
When engaging in single subject research, the ethical concerns that arise are the cognitive abilities of the client and ability to consent to treatment, that the behaviors that are of concern are observable and predictable, who and where the interventions will be implemented, who gives consent and upholds proper treatment intervention and ethical behavior and what outcomes are expected.
When working with children and applying the principles and procedures of behavior, it is essential that operational definitions and functions of behaviors are determined. Behaviors may or may not occur in various settings. Therefore, wherever the behavior is exhibited is where the intervention needs to take place (i.e.: if it happens at school, home and in the community, the intervention needs to take place in all 3 places).
Behavior change will only be effective if the behavior is dealt with and consequated on all occasions. Otherwise, there is the possibility that intermittent reinforcement will make extinguishing behavior more difficult. Making sure the integrity of the behavior intervention plan is upheld and ethical is essential in maintaining the efficacy of ABA.
Determining outcomes is pertinent in deciding when mastery has been met or when the behavior has changed to an acceptable level (i.e.: when to move on or fade the intervention). Exploring alternative interventions prior to selecting aversives is essential in upholding the social and empirical validity of treatment as they are punishment and may produce an extinction burst (i.e.: the behavior gets worse before it gets better) and the development of a more serious and intense behavior (i.e.: the original behavior is screaming and after using an aversive, biting oneself causing tissue damage).
Another essential ethical consideration is those implementing the intervention should be properly trained and comfortable with the procedures. Not only do the interventionists need to have an understanding of why the programs are in place, but they need to consistently implement the procedures effectively. If there are alterations or improper procedures being utilized, the behavior may not be changed effectively. The targeted behavior may actually be intermittently reinforced which will make it that much more difficult to modify.

I am using ADICUP360 for some time now and have been progressing with it, all thanks to the help that I get from this forum. I am intending to send some numbers / strings / chars from ADICUP 360 to another board via the serial TX/RX comm pins. However, I am unable to do so. I need a detailed explanation of how can this be made possible.
Currently, the switch configuration that I have set on ADICUP360 EVAL-BOARD is 0,1,0,1 (S1,S2,S3,S4). I am powering the board through the USER pin, the other end of which is connected to my laptop.
The code that I have written is:
UART_WriteString("fa"); //Send 'fa' on serial timer_sleep (500);
I can read the string through PUTTY on my serial comm (with the corresponding switch config) but I am unable to read the data from TX/RX (PIN 1 and 2 on PWML). I would really appreciate if someone can help me out here. Also, I would like to know how can I use the other 3 TX/RX pins for sending data from the ADICUP360.
Thank You.
Hi saadur,
To use pins 1 and 2 on PWML (P0.7 and P0.6) as Tx/Rx, you should configure the pin mode of pin 0.6 and pin 0.7 to 1 and 2 (binary: 01 and 10), respectively. In the ADuCM360 device drivers api reference manual, this can be done using DioCfgPin. See picture below:
The ADuCM360 has only 1 UART peripheral. TX3 and RX3 is P0.2 and P0.1. Configure the pin modes to 3.
For Tx2 Rx2 Tx1 and Rx1, these can be software implemented as UART using the gpio interrupts.
I am still unable to do so. I am using the example code for ADXL355 that is provided on GITHUB
Let me explain my setup if it helps you understanding the situation.
I have connected the Pin 1 (P0.6) of ADICUP360 with the TX of an Arduino Mega and the Pin 2 (P0.7) with the RX pin of the arduino Mega.The pins that you said have been already set in the code (see picture below).
The loop of my main code is as below:
This is supposed to send the character ch (uint8_t type) to the arduino. But nothing is being sent to the arduino.
I am almost on the verge of giving up this board and use any other board.
Hello Saadur,
Are you using the ADXL PMOD when running the tests? Because if not, the ADXL355_Data_Scan() function will block until data is received through SPI which will not happen. If not using the PMOD you should comment out ADXL355_Data_Scan() too.
Hi Brandon,
Thanks for helping me out on this but unfortunately it did not work out. I even commented out the ADXL355_Data_Scan() as pointed out by Andrei but it didnt work.
The problem is still the same. I am not getting anything on the Arduino. Now, I have used the switch configuration that you told me (DEBUG/ TX RX).
I am attaching some images of my physical setup so that you can get an idea of what I am trying to do. the physical setup is quite simple just like my project (which is simple too) but I am stuck at only sending the data between the two boards.
Also, i would appreciate if any of you people at Analog Devices could share your WhatsApp number so that we can discuss the problems more easily (I would totally understand if you are not allowed to share your number).
Thank you :)
Hi Andrei,
Thanks for helping me out on this but unfortunately it did not work out. I even commented out the ADXL355_Data_Scan() as pointed out by you but it didnt work.
The problem is still the same. I am not getting anything on the Arduino. Now, I have used the switch configuration that Brandon told me (DEBUG/ TX RX).
I tried the ADICUP code you sent with the switch setting Brandon described and I am able the see the UART communication at the header pins using an ADALM2000 and Scopy application. I don't have an Arduino Mega available here, but the Arduino code you provided looks good to me. So maybe this is a hardware issue? What is the voltage level on the Arduino Mega inputs? I read that it takes a 0 to 5V input, but the ADICUP360 has a 0 to 3.3V digital level. Maybe this is the issue?
Thanks andreid. I used a logic converter to convert 3.3V to 5V but I am still not receiving the character that I am trying to send.
The good news is that the serial port of arduino (on which I am sending the data) becomes available. But the arduino does not read anything.
below is the arduino code:
uint8_t data2read = 'N';char ch = ' ';
void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); Serial3.begin(9600); delay(500);}
void loop() { if (Serial3.available() > 1) { Serial.println("\nSerial is Available"); data2read = Serial3.read(); if (data2read != -1) { Serial.println("\nData Has been Read"); ch = char(data2read); Serial.println("\n Recevied Character is " + ch); } } else Serial.println("Serial is NOT Available \n");}
Could you look into that and get back to me?
also, can you let me know if I2C will be a better approach in this situation? If yes, then can you guide me how to setup the hardware. I have already found some pre-built functions for I2C on your website but I am not sure how to use them.
Hi Saadur,
Have you confirmed that there is no traffic showing up at the ADICUP360 TX pin at all, using an oscilloscope (preferred) or logic analyzer (after confirming signal levels with an oscilloscope)? Given that Andrei was able to see communication, you should at least see something wiggling. This would also help debug a baud rate issue. (Post a scope shot if you see anything interesting.)
It might be a good idea to break the problem up - do you have any sort of USB-UART, like the FTDI-Friend from Adafruit? This would allow you to:
1) Use Putty to send expected commands to your Arduino Mega (Basically, making a "dummy ADICUP360"
2) "Sniff" the output of the ADICUP360, using Putty once again.
Another hint - toggle a spare GPIO line on the ADICUP360 right before and right after sending a character - that will at least tell you that you should be getting something. Note that the toggling may happen very quickly, finishing before the character is finished being sent.

Aged Care Quality Standards Webinar
What does the move to an 'outcomes focus' in the Quality Standards mean for providers of age services?
From 1 July 2019 the new Aged Care Quality Standards, developed as part of the Single Aged Care Quality Framework will be introduced. The Aged Care Quality Standards will apply to all aged care services receiving Commonwealth Government subsidies.
Transition to the Standards will require:
- Greater emphasis on consumer outcomes and experience;
- Alignment of existing systems and processes underpinning the provision of safe and quality services to each of the eight individual Standards; and
- Reviewing the breadth of evidence currently available that aligns with each Standard to determine whether the current scope of evidence is satisfactory, in need of revision, or has identified gaps that need to be addressed.
This webinar will introduce participants to:
- A simple and balanced approach for navigating this transition process,
- Provide practical examples of what services can do to demonstrate evidence of the outcomes they achieve for their consumers, and
- Will introduce a range of LASA products to be made available to service providers to support the transition process in the lead up to 1 July 2019 and beyond.
Are you ready? A not to be missed webinar opportunity to dig deeper into what this change means for providers.

Dear Vijay,
personally I would recommend to remove activity 01 from GRAC_REQ for managers, so they cannot create access requests.
If a user does not have activity 01 the access request form is not visible and hence the user cannot submit a request. For all others it still works.
Let us know if you need further information.
Hi Vijay
Have you looked at using the normal ARQ form instead of the End User one? The Managers would then need SU01 account and security roles to use NWBC
If employees are required display, you would edit the End User Page and remove access request form creation links (if not using at all, deactivate the services)
It might be easier to let all request access and route the workflow to the Manager for review and approval first?
Hi Vijay,
Restriction on 'Create and Approve own request' is available through EUP. So,apply this EUP at manager Stage. This will primarily restrict a manager to approve his own created requests. This is the normal scenario.
Is a Manager not allowed to create any requests at all?, i.e for others for whom he is not the manager, also?If so, As Colleen said, if EUL is not used, then User creation can be restricted at many levels. - 1. Create A Manager page/tab(through Webdynpro), where user creation link is not available.
2. GRAC_REQ can be also be used to display requests only.

It was only a matter of time before YouTube added live streaming. While all eyes are on the horse race between live streaming sites like UStream, Livestream, Justin.tv and Stickam.com, the gorilla that might end up winning the live game is none other than YouTube itself. Until now, YouTube had shyed away from live streaming aside from a handful of concert events like U2 and Alicia Keyes.
But this morning at 11 AM (PT), long-running news and tech web series Rocketboom fired up its first live streaming show from its YouTube channel, as part of YouTube's live streaming alpha launch. The live show ran like an internet version of The Today Show, bringing out the full Rocketboom cast of mememolly, Kenyatta Cheese and Elspeth Jane who handed off segments back and forth from different setups. mememolly even had her own weather and cooking segments.
So far the live player is not embeddable so that means heading directly to Rocketboom's YouTube channel. The social stream to the right of the video player allows for live commenting directly on the YouTube page.
UPDATE: We're also hearing from Howcast that they are participating in the live streaming aplha test today and are set to go live at 9 AM (PT) on their YouTube channel. Also Next New Networks is part of the live streaming alpha test as well with The Key of Awesome, Indy Mogul and JRSportsBrief all streaming today and tomorrow. Celebrity-focused Young Hollywood rounds out the group of 4 channels in the alpha test.
These are all part of the alpha test of the live streaming product over the next two days that YouTube will be evaluating before rolling it out to the rest of its partners. The live streams are currently available globally.
"Our hosts are all eager to test the live capabilities to make the shows come alive for viewers in a new way that explores this important next step in Web entertainment," said Vanessa Pappas, VP, audience & strategic partnerships at Next New Networks.

Herbie Popnecker: Comic Book Legend
Long before Grant Morrison had a grip on the weird comic idea genre, there was a little comic put out by Richard Hughes and Ogden Whitney of ACG comics...
This is Herbie Popnecker, the fat little nothing.
He can talk to anything he likes.
He travels through time.
And has terrible powers if you threaten his lollypop consumption.
And fought the Devil, after he accidentally sold his soul.
Is stoic in the face of his terrible father.
And is best friends with JFK and Jackie O.
He also moonlights as a superhero, the Fat Fury.
And did I mention he's beaten Castro?
I can't recommend it highly enough. Need more proof on this bazaar comic book? The plot of that story is every bit as good as it sounds...
Herbie's dad takes him to see a boxing match in the hopes of motivating Herbie to act like a real man. The match is between American Sonny Liston and the Cuban Pablo Popsicle. Popsicle is going to use the match earnings to ransom the Cuban counter-revolutionary Juan Buanana from Castro.
Unfortunately, while training, Popsicle decides he wants one of Herbie's lollypops. Turns out it's an anti-gravity pop, and he floats away.
And so Herbie has to take his place in the match.
Unfortunately, because Herbie disappears after the match, they award the prize money to Liston. So Herbie decides to walk to Cuba and give Castro a piece of his mind. He sneaks into Castro's stronghold...
But Castro won't deal with him, after Herbie offers him 10 million lollopops!
So Herbie seduces the female prison guard with his saucy dancing skills...
(all images are from various issues of Herbie Comics, recently reprinted by Dark Horse in Archive edition) You can see a list of reoccurring themes in the comics
Oh yes, did I mention that Herbie is Watchmen creators favorite superhero?
Yeah, I guess that makes perfect sense for him to look to this strange comic book character.

BPTC – Conferencing
Conferencing can be done on paper but it is usually a chance to meet the client in person. This allows for their version of events to be heard, for advice to be given and instructions to be taken. It is important that the needs, wishes and concerns of the client are dealt with effectively but it is also a time when the client will receive a first impression of the barrister. The importance of this should not be lost and professional ethics and reputation should remain at the forefront of the practitioner's mind. At the same time as professionalism and confidence is shown it is important to remember that the client will be nervous therefore it is important to learn to put the client at ease as well as making them feel that they are in safe hands. Some amount of empathy and compassion will work wonders to compliment the preparation taken prior to the meeting and enable the desired outcome to be more easily achieved.
Preparation and an in depth knowledge of the case and its issues is vital. A competent practitioner should be in control and should guide the process. Conferencing demands excellent skills in fact management to identify the salient facts and matters arising, effective communications and thorough questioning techniques to elicit information. Any conference should have a logical structure and should include an introduction to explain its purpose, a main section to deal with the issues and a conclusion to clarify matters and advise.
The introduction should put the client at ease and explain each person's role. Client confidentiality should be explained, for example, explain why personal questions might be asked. It should define and set an agenda and clarify the structure of the meeting.
Appropriate language should be used to ensure the client understands every point that is raised and discussed and pertinent questions should be asked. It is vitally important that everything is listened to intently and reactions are appropriate and in accordance with what has been said. Time should be used efficiently and questions answered effectively.
The strengths and weaknesses of the case should be explained in clear and concise terms and any advice given should be realistic. The consequences of any action taken or not taken should be explained and any instructions taken should be clear, proportionate and in accordance with the client's wishes or needs. Of paramount importance is that both the practitioner and client are crystal clear on all aspects.
By following these steps and ensuring that the research and planning are carried out adequately a conference can be sure to meet the needs of all parties concerned and allows for the case or issue to move forward effectively and more expeditiously with everyone concerned in full and clear knowledge of all issues and requirements.

A study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal has come up with a ranked list of the most narcissistic medical specialties, based on a survey of over 200 UK health professionals. The authors' findings reveal an intriguing divide between surgeons and anesthesiologists. Here are the top 19 narcissistic medical specialties: 19. Geriatric Doctor 18. Cardiologist 17. Critical care Doctor 16. General Practitioner 15. Paediatrician 14. Respiratory Specialist 13. Radiologist 12. Nephrologist 11. Obstetrician 10. Dermatologist 9. Emergency Medicine Doctor 8. Pathologist 7. Anesthesiologist 6. Neurologist 5. General Surgeon 4. Oncologist 3. Orthopedic Surgeon 2. Gastroenterologist 1. Vascular Surgeon Both specialties reported high levels of narcissism, but anesthesiologists less so than surgeons. The authors cheekily suggest this may be due to "the effect of overexposure to surgeons who are better looking, more intelligent and physically superior". The study also looked at psychopathic traits and Machiavellian traits. Interestingly, neurologists edged out vascular surgeons for displaying the highest score of psychopathy traits. "Could it be that the phenomenon of cross contamination is at play and neurologists are in fact driving each other crazy?" they ask. The authors, however, have no explanation for why gastroenterologists have the highest Machiavellian traits. Source

The Thrill of Fishing in Ciliwung Lama River
This time, a different holiday atmosphere is seen in a few people who prefer fishing in Ciliwung Lama River, instead of going to recreational areas.
" I have started fishing since 10 AM. So far I've already got four medium-sized catfish"
As experienced by Chaerudin, a citizen of Jalan Pasar Baru Timur, RT 04/03, Pasar Baru Urban Village, whereby he came along with several of his neighbors to fish with a choice of spots near the Pasar Baru Transjakarta Bus Stop.
"I have started fishing since 10 AM. So far I've already got four medium-sized catfish by giving earthworm bait," he expressed, Thursday (3/7).
Meanwhile, Afif Yahya, a citizen of Kemayoran Sub-district expressed that he came fishing after getting information about the opening of the Istiqlal Sluice Gate.
"If the gate is opened, there will be lots of catfish. I've got seven so far," he told.
Yes, the quality of water is getting better, surely it would make the fish and other organisms can live and breed.
Surely the number of fish here can be used by people for fishing activities. Besides giving its own entertainment, fish can also be consumed.
Which is why people need to take part and contribute to maintaining the cleanliness and sustainability of the river. At least, by not littering.

Ear infections are one of the most common reasons parents take their children to the doctor. The most common type of ear infection is called otitis media. It is caused by swelling and infection of the middle ear. The middle ear is located just behind the eardrum.
An acute ear infection starts over a short period and is painful. Ear infections that last a long time or come and go are called chronic ear infections.
The eustachian tube runs from the middle of each ear to the back of the throat. Normally, this tube drains fluid that is made in the middle ear. If this tube gets blocked, fluid can build up. This can lead to infection.
Anything that causes the eustachian tubes to become swollen or blocked makes more fluid build up in the middle ear behind the eardrum. Some causes are:
Symptoms of an acute ear infection in older children or adults include:
The ear infection may start shortly after a cold. Sudden drainage of yellow or green fluid from the ear may mean the eardrum has ruptured.
All acute ear infections involve fluid behind the eardrum. At home, you can use an electronic ear monitor to check for this fluid. You can buy this device at a drugstore. You still need to see a health care provider to confirm an ear infection.
Exams and Tests
The provider will look inside the ears using an instrument called an otoscope. This may show:
The provider might recommend a hearing test if the person has a history of ear infections.
Some ear infections clear on their own without antibiotics. Often, treating the pain and allowing the body time to heal itself is all that is needed:
All children younger than 6 months with a fever or symptoms of an ear infection should see a provider. Children who are older than 6 months may be watched at home if they do NOT have:
If there is no improvement or if symptoms get worse, schedule an appointment with the provider to determine whether antibiotics are needed.
A virus or bacteria can cause ear infections. Antibiotics will not help an infection that is caused by a virus. Most providers don't prescribe antibiotics for every ear infection. However, all children younger than 6 months with an ear infection are treated with antibiotics.
Your health care provider is more likely to prescribe antibiotics if your child:
If antibiotics are prescribed, it is important to take them every day and to take all of the medicine. Do NOT stop the medicine when symptoms go away. If the antibiotics do not seem to be working within 48 to 72 hours, contact your provider. You may need to switch to a different antibiotic.
Side effects of antibiotics may include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Although rare, serious allergic reactions may also occur.
Some children have repeat ear infections that seem to go away between episodes. They may receive a smaller, daily dose of antibiotics to prevent new infections.
If an infection does not go away with the usual medical treatment, or if a child has many ear infections over a short period of time, the provider may recommend ear tubes:
If the adenoids are enlarged, removing them with surgery may be considered if ear infections continue to occur. Removing tonsils does not seem to help prevent ear infections.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Most often, an ear infection is a minor problem that gets better. Ear infections can be treated, but they may occur again in the future.
Most children will have slight short-term hearing loss during and right after an ear infection. This is due to fluid in the ear. Fluid can stay behind the eardrum for weeks or even months after the infection has cleared.
Speech or language delay is uncommon. It may occur in a child who has lasting hearing loss from many repeated ear infections.

Hull SolFed - Walk of Shame
Fri, 26/07/2013 - 14:25
Hull SolFed held another anti-workfare 'demo' on Saturday the 20th, this time a mobile one. Based on suggestions on the Boycott Workfare website, we held a walk a shame through hull town center, stopping at nine different workfare providers, forming a picket outside each store, handing out leaflets and talking to shoppers. We also had some musical accompaniment, which helped to draw attention to the picket and kept the day more interesting.
Two particular incidents are worth noting from the walk of shame. Firstly, when holding our picket outside Discount UK, we were confronted by one the shop's managers. She was immediately confrontational, attempting to get us removed by calling Humberside police, at one point seemingly trying to argue with shoppers who had listened to our picket, and finally attempting to photograph those on the picket, in her words 'to pass on to head office'. Of course, the only thing this really seemed to achieve (aside from increasing her blood pressure) was that Hull SF spent twice as long outside the shop than we originally intended to.
The second incident was one of Humberside police's community support teams following up on the complaint made by the manager. The usual routine of subtle and not so subtle intelligence gathering took place, however at one point the police did threaten to arrest us if they got more complaints. When questioned as for what, their answers fell somewhat short of being believable, claiming i) it'd be for our safety and that ii) it'd be for obstruction of the highway or 'something'. They eventually left us alone, and again, their presence seemed to draw more attention to the picket.
All in all, it was a good day. The new tactic seems to work and we continued to turn shoppers away. Hopefully Hull SF can keep up these regular actions in the future.

Nice choice.
My wish is to buy a watch as I dont currently have one.
What are your plans for 2020?
Consolidation/downsizing? A particular purchase, maybe a complication you currently don't have?
Mine is the acquisition of a Damasko DC66.
Over to you...

Nice choice.
My wish is to buy a watch as I dont currently have one.
Rolex 14060 if I can finally bag one. Hoping to expand my interests into other brands also.
Edit: would like to add an AP back to the collection, either 15300 or 25860.

Ill be trying to put off getting a Breitling Navitimer 01 (the 43mm one) for as long as possible into 2020. Suspect Ill make it at least to mid January

A Vacheron Constantin Patrimony or nothing for me. So, nothing, obviously.
For myself - try and continue selling a few things. Maybe. I have two targets for 2020 with one potentially being pricey enough that it forces my hand to sell some of my core collection. But as ever, the aim is to continue to be thankful and enjoy what I have.
I'm keen on a Ming, if the stars align.
Personally I'll be after an Aerospace Evo at some point after my house move in Q1.

I'd really like to add an AP 15202, but I'm actually pretty happy with what I have. I've pretty much given up on a new ceramic Daytona and/or GMT although both of those would e absolute keepers if I could get hold of them.
Notwithstanding the above I'd like to go down to no more than ten watches, but I seem to find consolidating quite difficult because I like all my watches.
Sell lots of watches in order to pay off the mortgage and go into semi-retirement.
Hopefully finally get my Pepsi and the WG Oysterflex Daytona.
Pepsi at list hopefully. ;-)
Ps and the Newmark which should arrive soon!

39mm OP Red Grape
Older Speedy
Root Beer Nipple Dial
Buy more, sell more, possibly consolidate into something, but no firm plans
Probably something from Omega.
Maybe a Damasko.
Possibly an Oris.
No firm plans!
Tudor BB58 and a Speedmaster. Though waiting and hoping that Tudor will bring out some different bezel colours this year
Ive stayed away from buying new Rolexs since they became difficult to get hold of (this year I picked up a GS Snowflake and an Omega Moonwatch), however my Rolex itch is still there.
During 2020 Ill see if I can get on a list for either a white faced Daytona or a GMT. If that isnt possible Ill probably look to get on the list for a two tone (black / brown bezel) GMT.
Buy less wear more.
Would like to acquire a GS snowflake eventually.. and maybe a IWC spitfire chrono - but may need to sell a few to justify the changes 😂
Im going for a size 36mm, deliberating over a date just or splash out and go Royal Oak!
Sent from my iPad using TZ-UK mobile app
This year has been a period of almost zero watch activity for me, so I have a few pieces on my list for 2020: if all the stars align then it will be a 116519LN, failing that an 1815 up/down in WG. If a star aligns I may end up with a Polaris Date, possibly blue face, and probably more realistic is a Black Bay blue or some sub £1K fun, maybe a Zodiac, an Autodromo or a Rado Captain Cook...
oh, and a Baltic :)

The new white dial Seamaster is top of my list. After that maybe a Panerai as my little collection is without one at the moment and maybe something two tone as Ive never had one.
Sell 2-4 of 8 piece collection.
Buy an A Lange and Sohne towards end of year. Probably a Saxonia thin, or a 1815.
Possibly trade in a vintage datejust for a bb58.
Will wait and see what happens at Basel world but have developed a bit of a hankering for the omega 60th collection, if I can find one at a good price I'd find it hard to say no....
Trying to downsize/consolidate but would like to add

A white faced watch of some description(I have about 10 black faced ones)
Also a mk1 maxi dial 5513 if a nice one pops up.
Finish 2020 with fewer watches and a lower net worth than at the start of the year. At least half of my collection are rarely, if ever, worn.
the same as every year no intention to buy anything and determined to reduce the silly amount I own.
I am quite sure I will buy something I dont need or want and sell very few or even none.
Take advantage of eBay's £1 selling fees and consolidate my collection.
Sent through the ether by diddling with radio waves
Maybe a Zenith if some type or a Grand Seiko GMT Spring Drive, I'm definitely going to try a Farer as well and I'll wait and see what Tudor release at Baselworld if they release a Sub...

Would love to get my first Grand Seiko - possibly a spring drive as the sweeping hand is mesmerising
Depending on the year it may be
Nothing new.
An Srowa Partitio Klassik in black, although the 5 ATMs is a concern
An Oris Divers 65 either the 40mm or the 36mm
A Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36mm with the blue Arabic dial.
Apparently Im on the list for a 214270 Explorer, and itll be nothing but that I expect...unless something crops up at Basel that looks particularly good!
Merry Christmas all 👍🏻
The one I've been obsessed with as long as I've been preoccupied with watches is the 40mm two-hander (opaline dial in RG, please) but I recognise that in my scruffy life it would look as happy as a pearl in a muddy puddle.
Something white dialed and dressy, or at least 'very smart'. I'd love a rose gold omega deville tresor but there are other possibilities.... All of which are not cheap so actually 2020 will be all about saving. Same for next couple of years.
My main intention is some STS refurbs of watches already in my collection. The SMF300 for case only, and the Great White for full works. Keep being indecisive about having my Mk2 Speedy case refurbed, we'll see.
I'm sure I'll add something, I'd like to think a Speedsonic or TV dial Speedy but doubt it will be either of those next year.

A GO seventies chrono and a Blancpain Bathyscaphe are possibilities
Hope for a Tudor Sub date at Basel and then endure the inevitable wait if the unicorn is ever announced....

Currently pretty happy with the four I have and dont like to go above that number as Im not great at rotating. Three appear to be keepers, at least for now.
Any change will likely be linked to my Tudor GMT as it is boarding on the slightly large side and so that could possibly go. If it does, Ill replace with another GMT and Im currently leaning towards the Explorer II.

Having recently completed a cull of my watch collection throughout 2018/19 with THIS sale (went within 48hrs of being listed on Chrono24) I have no current intentions to add to, or subtract from the reduced collection.
No immediate plans for any changes, but I do have a Slate Ming 17.06 due around March.

Congresswoman files bill to allow gay 'spouses' to receive Social Security benefits
NEW YORK, August 6, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Many supporters of "marriage equality" thought homosexual activists sought to redefine the age-old institution in order to receive the same recognition and approbation as heterosexual couples. But many homosexual "marriage' advocates wanted federal benefits.
Now a Democratic Congresswoman has introduced a bill to open the federal spigot to same-sex couples.
Rep. Linda Sanchez, D-CA, says her "Social Security Equality Act of 2013" would confer spousal, survivor, and death benefits to couples who live in a state that recognizes same-sex "marriages" or civil unions.
If enacted, its terms would apply to 18 states and the nation's capital.
"Same-sex couples pay into Social Security over the course of their working lives just like other Americans," she said.
Although the federal benefits angle of the "equality" struggle remained obscured from the general public, LGBT political organizations made the lack of U.S. government benefits – including benefits, tax breaks, and favorable insurance premiums – one of their movement's prime driving forces.
Self-described "Queer advocate" Erik Lappman wrote, "It is essential that progressives across the United States highlight" the fact that same-sex couples pay "on average at least $1,069 more than identical heterosexual, married couples in taxes."
One homosexual told CNN it was "unfair" and "un-American" that he could not receive $2,000 a month in Social Security survivor's benefits from U.S. taxpayers after his "partner" died.
Click "like" if you want to defend true marriage.
Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center Lorri Jean endorsed Rep. Sanchez's proposal, saying, "Despite the recent Supreme Court decisions that struck down DOMA and reaffirmed marriage equality in California, millions of LGBT Americans still live in states where they do not have equal access to federal benefits."
The cost to the federal Treasury is unknown, but in 2004 the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated that recognizing same-sex "marriage" would cost Social Security an additional $350 million a year beginning in 2014.
In June, the Heritage Foundation estimated that, under the present system, Social Security could become insolvent by 2024, just eleven years from now.

Cleveland Browns 2016 Preview: Expectations
The Cleveland Browns should be drastically improved in 2016, but it's too soon to consider this team a playoff contender. The Browns were 0-11 against teams that finished with six or more wins in the 2015 regular season. Eight of those 11 losses were by double
