Ask any resident of Durham, North Carolina about how the city has changed in the past five years, and the one thing they'll all tell you is "fast". Whether or not that's a good thing depends on on who you ask – the newer residents of Durham's rapidly-gentrifying downtown district might be delighted by the fancy cafes and shiny streets, but a stubborn bastion of an older Durham can be found in the Pinhook, a queer-friendly dive bar right in the city center.
"It's been interesting to me to see that there are less venues for music," says Jessica, who left town about five years ago and moved back in late 2015. "I love Durham, I really love the art scene; and maybe it's just because I'm coming back from [elsewhere] but it's weird that there are only two places to go."
The Pinhook was founded in 2008 by three friends, who had worked together at another bar before deciding to put their own together, one that could make room for radical activity and good music. It didn't take long to put together. "We were kids," says Kym Register, one of the founders and now sole owner of the Pinhook. "We had an idea and we were like 'hell yeah, let's do it!'," and two months later they were open for business. Over the past seven years, the Pinhook has been one of the most important music venues in the densely-populated Research Triangle, a close network of conjoined cities that houses a quarter of North Carolina's population.
Durham was a very different place just before Lehman Brothers collapsed in '08. "Downtown had been sort of dead since the 90s," Kym tells me, "so just a bunch of empty buildings. There was kind of a squat bar there." A business loan in a part of town considered 'dangerous' by the city's white residents in the suburbs was seen as a pretty low-risk investment: a lot of the empty properties on Main Street belonged to the same financial interests, and having a new bar was only going to help property values rise, so if the thing goes under after a few years, what's the damage?
Thanks to a recently discovered accounting issue, that situation now threatens the Pinhook's future. A bookkeeping error was discovered a few years too late, and the Pinhook now faces a tax debt of $80,000 that it didn't know about until a month ago.
It's not the only venue in Durham that has been caught off guard by unpaid sales tax, as the state of North Carolina, strapped for cash, is starting to crack down on unsuspecting businesses with simple accounting mistakes, to balance the state's austere budgets and privatizations that have been going on since the financial crash. Another famous example in town is that of the Carolina Theater, a stage venue that hosts international performers as diverse as guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani and flamenco legend Paco Peña, which has been surprised by a million dollar tax debt. The Carolina Theater already receives a $650,000 annual subsidy from the city, but are currently negotiating for more aid upfront while city officials scramble to find out what went wrong.
The Pinhook, being far less tied to government money, can expect no such help.
Kym tried to engage tax officials personably at first. "I was like 'you're a human, I'm a human, let's talk about stuff,' but it was all by the book." They managed to agree to a year-long payment plan, which meant that the Pinhook wouldn't go under straight away, but whose hefty monthly payments meant that, at their current level of income, they might make it only as far as February. "It's the man," Kym told me. "They want to get their money, but they're not invested in the Pinhook staying." As far as the state and the banks were concerned, the Pinhook had served its purpose.
So they turned to the people for whom the place still very much does count for something: their customers. On the Pinhook's 7th anniversary party they unfurled a banner behind the stage that reads 'Damn the Man, save the Pinhook', announced that they were in debt, and told the crowd that they'd started a crowdfunding campaign. Within the first week they'd raised $17,000.
"It's amazing, people will say to me, 'do you need a fundraiser in Oakland?'" Kym tells me, "and then suddenly there's a check for a thousand dollars in the mail. It's like a Christmas story or something."
From the way the regulars talk about the Pinhook, the place inspires quite a strong loyalty from its customers. "The Pinhook is a Durham institution," says Rob, a customer from nearby Cary. "It just feels a little bit like family round here, it's a good vibe!" Rob was telling me this on Christmas night, when the Pinhook was hosting one of its famous karaoke events. The bar seemed pretty busy despite the strange choice of date – that is, until I asked the clientele about it, when they told me that it was because of the choice of date.
"I was gonna go home and watch some fucking Christmas movie, and instead I parked my car and saw everyone here, and I came here and spent my Christmas night with friends, and it's incredible," gushes Tessa, who lives nearby. It takes a wry sort of genius for a bar to know that what its community needs after a long Christmas with family is a karaoke machine, a stage, and a crowd of people drinking their festive frustrations away.
I started to ask around to find out why customers felt like the Pinhook deserved being voted Best Karaoke in the Triangle several years in a row. "Everybody claps no matter what!" says Anne, who rarely misses those nights. "Everybody gets up there and shows their heart to the audience and everyone appreciates that, and so it's a very supportive environment because lots of people have performance anxiety and you don't need to have it here." She continued: "I think everybody gets the idea that getting on stage and signing is really hard and even if you're a complete failure in terms of performance, just getting up there is worth something."
Everyone I asked had something similar to say about it: people here are just nice. After I finished my own number (Space Oddity) I noticed outside the glow of the lights that people had actually been paying attention to the stage, and were applauding me as warmly as the last person. Having a crowd of strangers high-fiving you after a pretty lousy Bowie impression is a powerful feeling. This attitude, of a crowd who gives so generously towards the stage, is true of the Pinhook's other gigs, which often draw dense crowds from all around the Triangle. Punk, hip hop, metal, pop, folk; whoever's playing, the Pinhook has a level of safety and kindness that sets it apart from the shiny, more expensive bars popping up around town to please the new gentrifying set.
Tessa tells me, "I never worry about coming here and not feeling like I can be myself. It's special."
Lurking at the edge of the fundraiser story and the threat to the Pinhook's existence is Durham's much longer history of hostile takeovers: this is not the first time downtown Durham has had its social fabric torn apart by the powerful.
In the early 20th century, Durham was home to the famous 'Black Wall Street', perhaps the most significant hub of African American commerce in the entire country, back when the city's economy was still powered by the tobacco industry. The thriving business activity of Black Wall Street was especially significant for the harmonious nature of its prosperity during the Jim Crow era, where the local white population were far more willing than many other people in the South to create a space for black commerce and prosperity to thrive. W. E. B. Du Bois wrote of that era of the city "I consider the greatest factor in Durham's development to have been the disposition of the mass of ordinary white citizens of Durham to say: 'Hands off — give them a chance — don't interfere'."
But in the 1960s and 70s, when the tobacco industry in North Carolina lost its subsidies and began to move its operations overseas en masse, Black Wall Street was offered no investment from the rapidly downsizing tobacco capitalists. Over a number of years the center of the city was effectively gutted out thanks to 'urban regeneration', which was described in 1999 by Lawrence Ridgle, a local who had been born in Durham during the Great Depression, like this:
"And what they did, they concentrated all [the new investments] in a little area. And one of the things that they destroyed by that was they put them so far apart from each other. And now you are centrally located. And like today they're putting fences around these places. They took our—I think they destroyed esprit de corps. You know, I want to fix my house like I want and then let everybody have the same type house. They know exactly where you are. They tore up your businesses."
The staff at the Pinhook are well aware of this history, and the destitution that has been wreaked on Durham's different generations once the ruling class deemed them to be expendable. The city's biggest development yet is about to be built just across the road from the Pinhook: a 26-storey glass structure of expensive apartments with a swimming pool on the roof. Standing out front on Main Street, one of the bar staff, Roxy, gestures to the empty lot from which the monstrosity will rise. "This is the peak of gentrification in Durham, this is the pinnacle." There are enough big new developments on display nearby for you not to need to imagine the new building, overshadowing the historical red brick terraces below.
"My fear is that they're not gonna try to integrate with what we're doing here."
I asked the people running the Pinhook what would happen to the scene if the place were to go under, but nobody wanted to entertain that notion. "It doesn't seem like an option," says Kym. "This community that we have here in Durham is tired of getting pushed out, of not being listened to because they don't have deep pockets. It's a place for people who have been here forever."
So they're standing their ground, and raising the money they need with the sense of humor and stubbornness for which the Pinhook is known – for instance, if you donate $10,000 to their cause, they'll name a toilet stall after you. On last week's movie night they wryly chose to play cult film Empire Records because it's kinda like what they're going through right now. And they've booked a load of shows for January, with a Save the Pinhook concert series at the end of the month describing itself as 'Super Secret Luscious Line-Ups'. The Pinhook is coming out swinging.
It's that character that is so appealing to imagine when the apartment giant across the road is finished: a glittering tower of boring capitalist cleanliness having its shiny image blemished by having to rub shoulders with a grubby little pirate ship just over the road, whose very existence cheerfully says "fuck you" to the sleek financial machine that can't quite kill it.
You can donate to the Pinhook's crowdfunding campaign here.

Our vision is for Manchester to become a major tech cluster and a magnet for entrepreneurs who wish to start or grow a tech business.
There are many factors which need to come together to develop a joined up tech ecosystem embracing private, public and education sector partnerships. When Boston Consulting Group looked at London's Tech City during 2014, they concluded that the following are necessary to build a digital city:
- A strong talent pipeline
- A vibrant tech community
- Mentorship
- Networks
- Magnet companies
- Visibility
- Local capital throughout the journey
- Robust and flexible infrastructure
- Coordinated city-government support
In our report, Technology Enterprise in Greater Manchester, we have documented how and where we have seen these building blocks come together. What Manchester needs to do now is develop its brand and a narrative and make a lot of noise. During our many meetings, the scope and scale of entrepreneurial activity and innovation has been striking. Our mission is to ensure this is talked about and promoted and the many valuable initiatives, which have previously remained hidden to many, are rightly seen as part of a successful and confident tech scene.
We wish to develop an open and collaborative network of people and organisations to support and promote tech enterprise across Greater Manchester and welcome your feedback and support. The report lists the people and organisations we met during its preparation and we have met may more since. We would like to hear from you, please Contact Us

There are only three works in the Sampraday written by Lord Swaminarayan Himself. First is the summary of six Shastras- namely Bhagvat, Bhagvad-Gita, VidoorNeeti, VishunusahastraNaam, VasudevMahatmya, YajnavalkyaSmruti, which was prepared by Him for His daily reading, when He was only ten years old. Second is a letter He wrote to Ramanand Swami on the fifth day or dark half of Falgun of Samvat year 1856 and third is His Shikshapatri.
Shikshapatri means Hit-tam Updesh. The word Hit-tam means ultimate real well-being in life here and in life here-after. It is a gross mistake to treat Shikshapalri as merely a book of Does and Don'ts for the followers of the Sampraday. Satangis even today treat Shikshapatri as direct orders from the divine mouth of Lord Swaminarayan. They look upon it as an idol of Lord Swaminarayan depicted in words. They follow the dictates as coming directly from the Divine personality of Lord Swaminarayan. For instance, Shikshapatri requires all the followers to rise before sunrise. A true Satangi always rises before sunrise, not because it would keep him healthy, but because it is an order from Lord Swaminarayan for him. While following the dictates of Shikshapatri the question of personal likes and dislikes does not arise. All their actions, major or minor, therefore, become devoid of ego and selfishness and, therefore are all Bhaktimaya and Nirgun. It is not possible here in this brief life sketch to give details of Shikshapatri but some outstanding directions are summarized:
It forbids performance of Yajnas (sacrifices) which involve offering of living beings. It forbids partaking Prasad of any Yajna or deity where living beings are offered to propitiate any deity. It asks all the followers to speak truth only, but at the same time not to speak truth if it involves loss of one's own tire or other man's life. Some persons commit an act of stealing not for themselves but for the sake of performing religious duties or good acts; Shikshapatri asks the followers not to indulge in such acts. He laid down that Bhakti of God Supreme should always be performed with Dharma. Under no circumstances, Bhakti should be divorced from Dharma. It asks the followers to accept and follow the good acts of great persons, but if they have done any act which is bad and against Dharma it should be left alone. Followers of the Sampraday have been asked to hear eight Shastra – Vedas, Vyas Sutras, etc. eventhough they are not Sampradayik Shastras with love and respect; but, should accept and follow only those words of these Shastras which support and promote Dharma, Jnan, Vairagya, and Bhakti of God Supreme.
Members of the Sampraday should not try to draw a line of superiority or inferiority between Narayan and Mahesh but should look upon them as one form or Brahmn. They should also respect the Panchaytan Devas-viz. Vishnu, Shiva Ganesh, Surya and Parvati. They should also celebrate Vritas and birthdays of Shri Pam, Shri Ganesh, Shri Shiva, Shri Krishna, Shri Hanuman and of all Avtaras of God Supreme. A male member should not hear even religious or philosophical sermons from female, nor should any male deliver any such sermon to a female. The gates of the temple should always remain open for the thirsty and the hungry. There are about 15 verses which are entirely philosophical; but each of these verses speak volumes. One will find directions only in Shikshapatri that no body should ever draw a line of distinction between the various forms and names known as Shri. Radha-Krishna, Shri Laxmi-Narayan, Shri NarNarayan and so on because they are all forms and names of God Supreme.
Shikshapatri directs that all the followers should also live and act within the limits of their Dharma and according to the rules of their Varnas and Ashramas but thereby should never look upon the other Varnas and Ashramas with a feeling of inferiority. It also directs that the followers should always take Diksha from the Acharya and should worship only those idols which are given to them by the Acharya himself. In the temples of the Sampraday only those idols of God Supreme should be worshipped which are installed by the Acharya himself. Before closing Shikshapatri. Lord Swaminarayan has clearly given a warning to all concerned that anybody, however great he may be, if he lives and acts against the dictates of Shikshapatri should be deemed to have been ex-communicated from the Sampraday. Shikshapatri tries to cover social, civil, educational, political, religious, philosophical, all aspects of life. It Is a practical encyclopedia and ready spiritual reference for all wise persons.

Physical activity during pregnancy
It was once thought that exercise is unacceptable for a pregnant woman. Today all believe that exercise is not only useful, but necessary for future mothers and their babies during uncomplicated pregnancy. Physical exercise can help prevent the development of such unpleasant complications like incontinence and lower back pain, reduce the frequency of depressive moods, the probability of developing preeclampsia, improve control weight gain during pregnancy. It is assumed that the effect of physical activity is the activation of the parasympathetic division of the nervous system that leads to lower levels of cortisol – a stress hormone and to normalize blood
pressure. Exercise also increases the secretion of serotonin, reducing pain and frequency of depressive moods. There is evidence that regular exercise during pregnancy improves in the future the child's cognitive ability, i.e. the ability to learn.
However, even if a pregnant feels great and the pregnancy proceeds without complications, before Continue reading

This tip is only available for Windows NT. Basically there's no way to do it directly, because
VNCCSL.EXE is just a command line tool and nothing else, but you can manage to do it if you download and install
(there's a lite version available).
Simply download and install FireDaemon on your computer, copy or
download the batch code available here,
don't forget to change the set commands at the beginning of the script.
Once you are satisfied that your script is doing what you want and generating the
appropriate output you need to set it up as a service with FireDaemon. This is what
I did:
cd \progra~1\firedaemon
firedaemon -p (or firedaemonui if it is installed)
Now answer the FireDaemon questions exactly as follows (your paths might differ depending on where you installed the batch script):
Service Name --> vncsearch
Application Working Directory --> c:\yourpath
Application Executable --> c:\yourpath\search.bat
Application Options -->
Auto Restart Application --> y
Processor Affinity Mask --> 0
Process Priority --> 0
Interact With Desktop --> n
Auto Start Service --> y
If you want to be really smart you can run multiple instances of that script on the same machine. Just ensure that you change the service name (vncsearch1, vncsearch2, etc.). Finally, start the service:
net start vncsearch
Check that the service has been started correctly by examining your process list in the Task Manager and that the script output are being updated (point your explorer at your output folder location). You can also check the NT/2K event log for FireDaemon events and errors.
Searching for VNC servers within a batch script

With nothing better to do after their 10-hour flight from San Francisco to Tokyo, IGN's Dave Zdyrko and David Smith ventured to the Makuhari Messe Convention Center in Chiba, which will be host to the upcoming Tokyo Game Show 2001 Spring in just a few days. While all was quiet and there wasn't a person in sight, which will soon change once the show begins on Friday, March 30, 2001 at 9:30, a few signs were already up signifying that the show was almost upon us. And just as was the case at last fall's show, Microsoft's Xbox had a rather large presence on the outside of the convention center.
Yep, there's something big happening March 30 - April 1.
Looks like Microsoft might have something big up its sleeves.
My Japanese is a bit rusty, but I believe this translates to "All your base are belong to us!"
Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo sitting in a tree. K - I - S - S, I - N-G.
If we don't go overboard snapping pictures of the cute Japanese booth babes or get trampled by the hordes of Japanese kids that will flood the show floor on Friday at 12PM when it's open to the public, IGN should have further updates from the Tokyo Game Show over the course of the next few days.

Regular readers of The Power Line may remember my post more than two years ago about AEP CEO Mike Morris's strategy of "putting laws in place."
Power company CEO's have the money and political influence to think years ahead to "put in place" the laws and people that they will need to pursue their long term strategies. It happened with PATH and it is happening right now with the steady progress of coal-fired rate increases in WV.
Every two years, a WV PSC Commissioner's term expires. One such term is expiring tomorrow, June 30. Acting Gov. Tomblin has the opportunity to appoint a former PSC General Counsel and one of WV's most experienced utilities lawyers to the PSC. This lawyer is Robert Rodecker. Mr. Rodecker is independent of the corporations that control WV's electrical systems. In fact, Mr. Rodecker has represented intervenors in both the PATH and TrAIL transmission cases. In the TrAIL case, Mr. Rodecker worked closely with an expert engineer who testified extensively on the problems with PJM and FERC transmission policy.
Mr. Rodecker, who currently practices in Charleston, has a long history of public interest lawyering, including pushing, in the 1970s, for the easing of billing and collections practices of power companies to help elderly and low income electrical consumers.
We need the expertise and independence of Mr. Rodecker to meet the challenge of making real progress to curb future rate increase, to build a more reliable electrical power system in WV and to respond creatively to new challenges. You can make your views known to Acting Gov. Tomblin by going to the Coaltion for Reliable Power Web site and emailing your thoughts directly to Gov. Tomblin. Here is the link. While you are at the site, be sure to go to the Blog page to see lively discussion of current issues facing WV's electrical future.
Now is the time for citizens to put our people "in place" to stand up for West Virginia against attempts by Ohio power companies, regional cartels like PJM and FERC to control out state. Contact Gov. Tomblin now, we don't have much time.

Obesity Rates Are Actually Down in 4 States
September 1, 2016
by Mandy Oaklander
TIME Magazine

But rates went down in four states during that time period: Minnesota, Montana, New York and Ohio. This is the first time that any state, besides Washington, D.C. in 2010, has actually seen a decline, the report authors point out. Kansas and Kentucky were the only states that experienced an increase.

A SCHOOLGIRL was the victim of a serious indecent assault in a terrifying attack.
The 14-year-old was grabbed by a half-naked man while she was hiding from him in bushes with a friend shortly before 10pm on Monday.
She was rescued when her friend, also 14, hit the man on the head, forcing him to flee.
The attacker, who was not wearing any trousers or footwear, had followed the pair along Dodgson Street in his car for several minutes after trying to talk to them.
They fled on to spare land at the junction with Crawford Street, but became separated.
The girl was then grabbed, forced to the ground and assaulted in the nearby bushes.
But her friend found them and started hitting the attacker, who then fled. Detectives believe the assault could have been far worse without her help.
The victim escaped uninjured except for scratches on her legs.
Detective Inspector Martin Jeffs said: "This was a terrifying experience for a young girl to go through."
"This man obviously has no regard for people."
"He wasn't frightened to attack even though there were two of them."
"This is certainly a dangerous man and he needs to be caught soon."
"Without her friend's help this could have been much worse."
The attacker, who spoke with a local accent, is described by police as about 6ft tall, in his mid-40s, with dark curly hair.
He was fat and muscular, with a large silver bar through his right eyebrow. The girl said he had 'designer' sideburns and hairy arms and legs.
Mr Jeffs said the attacker was distinctive because of the eyebrow piercing at his age.
He was seen driving a black car, possibly a Vauxhall Cavalier, with white writing and a logo in writing on the door.
Anyone with information should call Rochdale CID on 0161 856 8543 pr Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

One such condom which is known to increase the pleasure experience by the female partner (in some variants the male partner too) is a class which goes by the name of 'Ribbed Condoms'. As the name gives away, unlike the conventional condom the textured ones possess ridges along its outer surface which enhances the level of stimulation that the female is subjected to during intercourse. Textured condoms come in different types too! Some of them being ribbed, studded or even a combination of both. While the ribbed ones have ridges along the circumference of the outer body, the studded ones consist of tiny bumps on the outer surface which helps stimulation. Products are also available which target particular sections of the vagina and also those which provide enhanced pleasure to the condom wearer by the means of textures and bulbs on the inside of the condom.
The ribbed condoms can be worn by an individual who wants to indulge in safe and protected sex with their partners. There is no restriction per se. However, some ladies do face vaginal irritation upon the use of textured condoms – the same must be checked for before continued usage of this class of condoms. There are countless number of benefits that may be apparent from the use of textured condoms. To name some, heightened pleasure levels, mutual understanding, better confidence on the part of the male are some of the many benefits associated with the usage of textured condoms. While some may prefer it for many reasons, others shun away from the concept of using textured condoms. At the end of the day, the choice lies in the hands of the user and picking between conventional condoms and textured condoms is a matter of a quick decision.
There are many popular textured condoms available at present in the market. The mantra is that when it comes to sex, people love experimenting to keep things spiced up on the bed! Some of the more prominent players in the sphere of textured condoms are listed as follows:
The aforementioned products are some of the market leaders in the field of textured condoms. However, there are other products too which is worth a mention in this segment. To name a few, there is- Rough Rider Studded, Atlas Studded Condoms, Caution Wear Wild Rose, Okamoto Beyond Seven Studded, Trustex Ribbed and Studded Lubricated Condoms among others.
If one is facing a mid-life crisis, or if one is looking at tools to add a new zing factor into their sex lives, then one must certainly try textured condoms on offer!

Open Every Day
July 7, 2016
More than 75 acres of rich farmland surrounds Thomas Brand's home in the community of Plano, Kentucky. Just a skip over the state line is where he and his family have resided for over 30 years and have raised everything from cattle to fruit trees to fields of organic vegetables. His wife, Cathy, tends her flower gardens around their home, while Thomas enjoys his time on the land he has come to know intimately through years of cultivation.
When Thomas Brand was a child, his family operated a plantation with 48 other families in Ruleville, Miss. As sharecroppers, the families picked and chopped cotton alongside one another to earn a commission for every bale produced. In 1963, Thomas recalls, his family earned $1,500 for 63 bales, which was considered big money back when a sack of flour was $5 and gas was $.18 a gallon.
As he moved into adulthood, Thomas continued to pursue his agricultural roots, and graduated from Alcorn State University with a degree in Agriculture and a minor in Biology. When he began work with U.S. Steel in the Agri-Chemical Department in 1972, he was the first African-American hired, paving the way for other minorities in the agribusiness industry.
Through decades of farming experience, Thomas Brand owns an intuition and talent of understanding the temperament of the land he works. His wisdom allows him to grow his fruit trees and vegetable crops without the synthetic herbicides or fertilizers he feels rob his produce of their natural flavors. "What I like about growing my vegetables is that they're not commercial or shipped — they're natural," Thomas says. "Most farmers that have been farming as long as I have understand the land and what makes things grow without a whole lotta health problems. It takes time to understand that process."
Today, Thomas Brand relaxes into retirement as a successful land and business owner and a member of the Nashville Farmers' Market family. He can be found selling his organic produce under the moniker Plano Produce every week where he is never shy of discussing his passion for the food he grows. He is most well known for quality and freshness, and loves to teach his customers about the different varieties of vegetables, fruits, and herbs he brings to market each week.
"The beautiful thing about the Nashville Farmers' Market is the people," Thomas remarks. "They're good people, and I've established relationships with all of them. I love seeing my repeat customers every week, and I think that shows."
Find Thomas in Farm Shed 1 chatting up customers about the natural sweetness of his hand-picked Swiss chard or the perfection of his freshly dug onions every Friday and Saturday at the Nashville Farmers' Market.

Russia Faces Tough Fight on Ruble
Trading Limit Is Threatened as Investors Challenge Bid to Boost Currency
Russia has vowed to put a floor under the beleaguered ruble. It may have painted a bull's-eye on the currency instead.
Pressure on the ruble is likely to mount in coming weeks, say investors and analysts. Many predict a gloves-off battle between investors intent on driving the currency lower to reap profits, and Moscow, which may be forced to make unpleasant choices to keep the ruble from falling.
Already, sellers ranging from foreign investors to local companies have driven the ruble to within a hairsbreadth of the central bank's new limit, announced just two weeks ago. The tumble comes despite higher interest rates and steps to limit the supply of rubles.
The Russian authorities "set themselves a line in the sand, and we've approached it very rapidly," says James Malcolm, a currency strategist at Deutsche Bank in London. "It's an irresistible target."
The exchange rate is a highly sensitive issue in Russia, where memories of the 1998 ruble collapse remain fresh.
The currency's drastic reversal over the past few months -- hammered by the plunge in the price of oil, Russia's main export, and a torrent of capital fleeing the country amid the global crisis -- has put the Kremlin on the defensive.
Since August, Russia has engaged in a costly effort first to stop, then to slow, the ruble's slide, spending more than a third of its hefty foreign-exchange reserves in the process. Where once the country had about $600 billion in its stockpile, it now has roughly $385 billion. In the third week in January alone, reserves fell by $10 billion.
Top officials including Prime Minister Vladimir Putin have defended the policy, saying it was necessary to allow banks and the populace to adjust to the move. Controlling the ruble's descent also gave big Russian companies time to restructure some of their massive foreign-currency debts, which would have become far more costly for them had the ruble plunged, analysts said. Import prices would rise if the ruble collapsed, potentially angering consumers.
Late last month, the government halted the policy and instituted a new trading band for the ruble with a lower limit of 41 rubles against a basket of dollars and euros. By Tuesday, the ruble was kopecks away from that level.
Earlier this week, it hit an 11-year low of a little more than 36 rubles to the dollar.
Investors "want to try the central bank's resolve," says Markku Anttila, a currency trader who focuses on Russia at Danske Bank. One complicating factor: With banks inside and outside Russia strapped for cash, speculators could find it difficult to generate financing for big bets against the ruble.
Some parts of the currency markets already are reflecting a vote of no confidence in Russia's new framework. Contracts to buy rubles in three months are priced beyond the government's band -- in other words, they are betting the band won't last.
The Russian government's defense of the ruble brings to mind other episodes from Asia to Latin America where governments have burned through reserves to defend their currencies only to succumb. "Policy makers defend, defend, defend, and then give up," says Koon Chow, a currency strategist at Barclays Capital in London. "That's what people are gunning for in terms of the ruble."
Russian officials have said they would consider lowering the floor only if oil prices fall to about $30 a barrel or less and remain there. In the short run, Mr. Chow expects the government to defend the band at the cost of further depleting the country's reserves, before eventually ceding ground. "It will be a bit of a credibility fight over the next one to two months," he says.
So far, the central bank's efforts -- raising interest rates and tightening liquidity -- haven't been aggressive enough, analysts say, serving mainly to whet investors' appetites for more ruble declines. As a result, most of the money the Kremlin is spending to boost the banking system and the economy is flowing into the currency market instead.
"All the rubles that are out there have been turned into dollars," says Natalya Orlova, chief economist at Alfa Bank in Moscow. "To get out of this spiral where everyone expects a devaluation will be very difficult."
She says a decisive defense would require a massive increase in interest rates that would shake the fragile banking system and the slumping economy. Some analysts said the government also could impose capital controls, limiting money from leaving Russia.
Though the state media in Russia tightly control discussion of the issue, the ruble's plunge has fueled some criticism of the authorities, who for months were pledging they wouldn't allow a sharp devaluation. A poll released this week showed Russian confidence in the ruble had fallen to the lowest level in five years.
The dollar was dumped across the board Tuesday as a strong rally in U.S. stocks encouraged some risk seeking, denting safe-haven flows into the U.S. currency. Tuesday afternoon in New York, the euro was at $1.3040 from $1.2844 Monday, while the dollar was at 89.22 yen from 89.61 yen, according to EBS. The euro was at 116.45 yen from 115.13 yen, according to EBS. The U.K. pound was at $1.4466 from $1.4281, while the dollar was at 1.1425 Swiss francs from 1.1624 Swiss francs Monday.

Teams are challenged to consider the big picture when presenting polymers.
"Today's engineering education must prepare students to enter any career," says Villanova University's Drosdick Endowed Dean of Engineering Gary A. Gabriele, PhD. "One of the most important things we can do is to pique their curiosity, show them how to make connections between engineering and other disciplines, and help them understand how they can one day create value for an employer." Those elements come together under the umbrella of entrepreneurially-minded learning (EML), and during the 2014-15 academic year, a number of faculty integrated EML into their courses in a variety of unique ways.
Chemical Engineering Associate Professor Noelle Comolli, PhD, brought the entrepreneurial spirit to her Polymers course. "Plastics have a real image problem," she says. "Public perception is that there are countless 'bad' plastics affecting our everyday lives." Working from this notion, Dr. Comolli presented her class with an innovative final project for the fall semester. "Plastics: The Good, the Bad, the Opportunity" tasked students with researching the scientific and non-scientific basis for the "bad" label on one of the many plastics that have been branded as such. Working in teams, students were then challenged with addressing public perception. They could rebrand their plastic through a marketing campaign, or adapt that product with new polymers or new additives and present the alternative.
Dr. Comolli explains how the assignment requires seeing the big picture: "Students have to thoroughly understand the course subject matter, but also realize the connections that exist outside of engineering the product. For example, they must consider environmental factors, the economics of manufacturing, and the importance of public perception."
On the last day of class, Dr. Comolli's student teams gathered in the Idea Accelerator, which is facilitated by Villanova's Innovation, Creativity, and Entrepreneurship (ICE) Institute. There they presented scientific facts about their products in a way that a non-engineer could understand. They then delivered a "Shark Tank" style pitch to effectively sell their product to Dr. Comolli and fellow students. Teams also were required to create a prototype of their product, or display part of their marketing plan, and write a report summarizing their research and plan.
Ultimately, most of the teams decided to replace their polymer with one that was less controversial, even in cases where the research did not support the "bad" reputation of their original plastic. Some teams acknowledged the health risks or environmental concerns associated with their compound and recommended safer options. Various means were recommended for marketing their products, from social media campaigns to educational infographics.
Dr. Comolli concludes, "It is this deeper level of understanding, the ability to consider a variety of factors and perspectives when developing a product or service, which distinguishes Villanova engineers in the job market."

So… Hamlet.
There is so much that has been written about this play already, so much life sucked from it by tired schoolroom analyses, and so many interpretations of the text put onto stage and film, that a relevant discussion can prove to be very difficult. So let me come at this entry from a different angle: Now, maybe I'm the only person experiencing this, but it seems like too many people are complaining about the lack of imagination in movies – too many remakes, adaptations of comic books, repackaging of old pop culture property. To those people, I say, "Fuck you, Shakespeare's Hamlet is a reboot."
There are not just 2, but 4 known versions of the play, including the Folio version that we are most used to – plus the story itself is based on part of a Scandinavian text. It's an epic saga that covers the whole known history of Denmark, and even crosses paths at one point with Beowulf. Shakespeare alters names in his version, but the basic story is the same: Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, seeks revenge for the murder of his father. However, the simple deed is complicated by the politics of the court: Hamlet's mother, Gertrude, has married the murderer, Hamlet's Uncle Claudius. Hamlet pretends to be crazy in order to hide his intentions, but kills one of the king's spies in this game of cat and mouse. Claudius, bound by the same politics, cannot kill Hamlet outright either, and so sends him to stay with allies in England.
This play is about two things: grief and politics. Hamlet's dad is "But two months dead: nay, not so much, not two," when his mother remarries. His strange behavior is simply grief, in my opinion, and his is surrounded by politicians who simply lack a capacity for human empathy: it seems like everybody around Hamlet are the truly crazy ones. Hamlet murders a member of the court, Polonius, and Gertrude is most concerned about her son's disrespectful tone of voice than the fact that he's dragging a corpse through her bedroom. Claudius cannot punish Hamlet directly because "He's loved of the distracted multitude, Who like not in their judgment, but their eyes," and so sends the murderer out of the public eye for a bit. Claudius, the guy who pours poison onto every damn thing like its hot sauce or something, never has his sanity questioned. Fatherless kids who don't know where to direct their lives because they have literally no responsible mentor figures anymore, yeah, they must be batshit crazy. The behavior of not only Hamlet, but even Ophelia and Laertes after the death of their father Polonius, is driven by honest emotion, and the other politicians in the court are unable to comprehend an emotional reaction that isn't immediately buried under psychosis and professionalism.
Hamlet may be criticized for being slow to act, but really that can be said of everyone else in the play, too. Claudius has to appear militarily strong to the surrounding nations, while maintaining the good favor of his people. His propaganda against Hamlet works surprisingly well on the commoners, since one Gravedigger believes Hamlet left "because he was mad: he shall recover his wits there; or, if he do not, it's no great matter there," since it will "not be seen in him there; there the men are as mad as he." But after Hamlet's voyage, Shakespeare starts to depart from the original source with the details of the revenge plot. Specifically, Hamlet's ship is intercepted by pirates, Hamlet jumps onto the pirate ship during the course of combat, and then returns back to Denmark with his new pirate friends: as opposed to the original version where Hamlet actually makes the journey to England, marries a princess there, amasses an army after putting people on spikes Vlad Dracula style, and actually survives the final onslaught because he locks the palace doors and sets the damn thing on fire while everyone is inside.
I will say one last thing on the Viking version of the story, taken from Books 3 and 4 of the Saxo Grammaticus: the mythical story takes place before the birth of Christ, and deals heavily with the violence of revenge. Conversely, the mythic source of Cymbeline takes place during the life of Christ, and explores the concept of forgiveness. The importance of Christian religion in the Elizabethan era when Shakespeare wrote shouldn't be underestimated, and I don't think I'm reading too much into that timing. Sure, it's probably a coincidence that is far more related to the shift in focus from brutality to hope in the playwright's own life for whatever reason. You have the everybody-dies horrors of Titus Andronicus and the Sixes at the beginning, and then Shakespeare gradually mellows out into things like the Winter's Tale and eventually whitewashes anything bad in the sterile Henry VIII. Hamletoccupies an interesting middle ground, but ultimately aligns with that earlier cynicism
Now, while this is all very interesting, I want to actually start talking about the play that I read and that most people are numb to because it's been painfully dissected and left lifeless by most education systems. It's important to have fun with these texts, because if you take it too seriously then it becomes elitist and people lose interest. I occasionally like to posit strong concepts for how I would personally like to approach a text, but instead I'm just going to keep pursuing the theme of grief in this play and how that grief is misunderstood.
Here's the thing: if I don't think Hamlet is truly mad then I can't presuppose that Ophelia is. She is suffering from "the poison of deep grief," even though there is currently a movement to redefine grief as a mental disorder, but what I'm saying is that grief is normal (though let's not waste time trying to define "normal," eh?) and so Hamlet and Ophelia are indeed the only sane ones in this play – besides maybe Horatio, but I'm not going to spend much time talking about him today for whatever reason. The way that people treat death in this play is disturbingly apathetic, summed up pretty succinctly when Hamlet observes the army of Fortinbras mobilizing for war with Poland: "We go to gain a little patch of ground That hath in it no profit but the name. To pay five ducats, five, I would not farm it."
Consider how the court perceives the "Madness," what I am calling grief, of both Hamlet and Ophelia, respectively. Hamlet: sees the goddamn Ghost of his recently deceased father, is already and understandably pretty grief stricken, but then learns that his beloved father was murdered by his uncle and is spurred to bloody vengeance by the Ghost. When Ophelia is disturbed by meeting Hamlet afterwards, "No hat upon his head; his stockings foul'd, Ungarter'd, and down-gyved to his ancle; Pale as his shirt; his knees knocking each other; And with a look so piteous in purport As if he had been loosed out of hell To speak of horrors," the assumption is that Hamlet "Is mad. Mad call I it; for, to define true madness, What is't but to be nothing else but mad?" But really, he looks like he just saw a goddamn ghost. And we know he's not crazy about that, since three other people saw it before Hamlet is even onstage for the first time, plus the information given by the Ghost turns out to be completely true. Ophelia: her boyfriend is freaking out and tells her to her face "I loved you not" before eventually killing her father, she is left all alone with a court that does not understand how to comfort a grieving person, and her own brother does not give a shit. Seriously – Laertes gets off a boat, first thing he does is talk with the King about getting his murder on instead of comforting a sister that has been left alone for all this time. Her mom is never mentioned at all, which, given the dynamics of this court, probably means that the woman is dead. So Ophelia is all alone, grief-stricken, and like most teenagers with messed up families she is immersing herself in music with really dark lyrics. Most of her responses are in song, but they are all responding to the actual questions that are asked. She is aware, she understands what is happening, the people around her just do not understand. It's frustrating to see her commonly characterized as a wandering, aimless waif, when it would simply be more interesting to see an Ophelia that is deliberately messing with these sociopathic assholes when she hands them flowers. It's her brother Laertes that I do think is crazy, and not as a result of grief but as a product of the apathy of court life. He thinks that he should walk up to Hamlet and "cut his throat i' the church," and Claudius persuades him against that, not because it's CRAZY, but because the politics of it aren't the best. And don't get me started on the sketchy description that Gertrude gives of Ophelia's death, saying a tree branch broke under the girl and she "Fell in the weeping brook. Her clothes spread wide; And, mermaid-like, awhile they bore her up." There is no indication of who saw this, or why this extensive and BEAUTIFUL description of a drowning teenager does not involve anybody trying to help the girl.
Even Fortinbras, when he shows up at the end with English diplomats to meet with the King, seems weirdly detached. "Such a sight as this Becomes the field, but here shows much amiss," he says, as if massacre is improper at the dinner table, one ought to take that sort of thing outside. Granted, this is a warlike culture, but Shakespeare is frequently pointing out the absurdities of war and I don't think it should be ignored here. In some ways, Hamlet has resemblance to Prince Hal, pursuing a plot that has absolutely nothing to do with the warlike politics raging around his King until the final Act. But in other ways, Hamlet is unique among Shakespeare's tragic works because it focuses almost exclusively on the court and not a war that is happening in the peripherals of the drama and even bookends the action of the entire play. In some ways, this highlights the apathy and selfishness of the kingdom more than anything else – Fortinbras casually embraces the opportunity, while the First Ambassador can only think "The ears are senseless that should give us hearing, To tell him his commandment is fulfill'd, That Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead: Where should we have our thanks?" It's not even stoicism, it's full apathy towards human suffering, and nobody seems to think it is strange besides Hamlet and Ophelia.
So those are some of my thoughts on Hamlet. Not all of them, mind you, just ones that I find most pressing at the moment. It's a great play, full of so many choices and depth, and I really think that it is a defining moment for an artist when they attempt to tackle the piece. I'm glad I was finally able to reread this thing outside of the context of school for the first time, and really be able to take my time with it and enjoy it for all of its richness and darkness. Until next time: "Good night sweet prince: And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!"
