Moyne Community School notes
Camping Adventure
The Transition Year students got in touch with nature last week, spending a night under the stars on their Gaisce camping trip. The group travelled to the Shannon River Adventure centre in Rooskey, Co Roscommon to take part in a host of activities including kayaking and team building exercises. Despite the stormy weather the group had a great time. Thanks to Mr Kavanagh and Ms Campbell for organising the trip. This was a great way for the new TY students to get to know their classmates and put their survival skills to the test - Bear Grylls watch out!
Gaisce Award
Gaisce's mission is to contribute to the development of all young people through the achievement of personal challenges - The President's Award is the most prestigious Award in Ireland for young people aged 15 to 25. Gaisce is an old Irish word which means 'a great achievement'. The Award programme challenges young people to get involved in their community, set personal goals for themselves in terms of physical recreation and personal skill and undertake an adventure journey as a member of a team. The TY students aim to complete the Bronze level Gaisce award this year.
YSI Committee
A new Young Social Innovators Committee has been established in the school. Last year's committee are preparing to hand over the reigns to a newly formed group of fourth year and TY students. The new group will continue to work on the running of the library, we have some exciting plans in motion at the moment and will keep you updated in the coming weeks! We wish to take this opportunity to thank last year's committee for all of their hard work and dedication to the group - the newly refurbished library is a testament to your hard work! The new committee travelled to the Hodson Bay Hotel in Athlone on Wednesday, September 18, accompanied by Ms Kennedy and Ms Smyth to take part in a YSI workshop-equipping them with the skills and knowledge to get their project off the ground this year. Even though the committee positions have been filled places are still open to volunteers of all ages. Contact Ms Kennedy or Ms Killian for details.
Higher Options
Leaving Cert students travelled to the RDS in Dublin on Thursday last to visit the Higher Options exhibition - this was an opportunity for students to see what third level institutions at home and abroad have to offer. We have heard great reports from all students, noting that they felt more prepared in making CAO choices this year. Thanks to Mr McPhilips, Ms Wrynn, Ms Killian and Mrs Timlin for accompanying the group.
A step back to the past
Second and third year history students travelled to Clonmacnoise and Corlea bog on a history trip last Tuesday. The group had a chance to explore the monastery in Co Offaly, a burial site for the high kings of Tara. A great day was had by all and students felt the trip really brought their course to life. Thanks to Mr Mc Cann, Ms Cox, Mr O Leary, Ms Brindley and Ms Smith for accompanying the group.

Money, homes, cars, ski vacations — with perks like these, who wouldn't want to be a hooker, a defense lawyer in a bizarre Manhattan sex trafficking case said in closing arguments today.
"I'm trying to find a job myself that pays me $10,000 a week," defense lawyer Howard Greenberg said as summations began in the trial of admitted father and son pimps Vincent George, Sr. and Jr., arguing that there is no proof that their pampered staff of five hookers were forced to do anything.
"One wonders in this economy if a girl can make up to $10,000 a week … why more women don't do it, I don't know," he said.
The father and son pimps' operation was based in Allentown, Pa., and their five employees each were given a house in town to live in and cars for their commute to Manhattan, where they'd hand out "masseuse" cards to randy male tourists, defense lawyers argued in morning-long summations.
Prosecutors are due to give their spin on the six-year investigation this afternoon.
"The girls wanted for nothing," Greenberg, who reps George Sr., told Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Ruth Pickholz, who will render a verdict in the non-jury trial.
"There was maternity leave — can you imagine that?" he said, referring to one of Jr.'s prostitutes, who'd taken the stand last month to say that Jr. gave her four years off as she raised their little girl.
"In short, the benefits package was great."
Sure, the pimps were recorded in phone calls making violent threats to the women, but, "If those threats had been real… there would have been medical records stacked a mile high," said Junior's lawyer, David Epstein.
Three of the hookers took the stand last month to protest that they were Jr.'s employees and "sister-wives" by choice.
Prosecutors had called a "trauma bonding" expert to the stand last month to testify that hookers often say they have a choice, and even believe they have a choice, when they are actually involuntarily imprisoned by physical and emotional coercion.
That's an unfair win-win for the prosecution, Epstein said.
"If they say they're victims, they're victims. If they say they're not, then they're still victims," he said.
The judge has yet to say when she will render a verdict.

Business Consultant – Using a Business Consulting Firm to Help With Expansion
Successfully expanding with business consulting
This article explains expansion and tells how hiring a business consulting firm can help.
So you have a company that is doing exceptionally well. You have thought about taking your company to the next level with expansion, but you aren't quite sure of how to do this. How would you benefit? Would you expand in a bad location and the company flop? All of these are reasonable questions to have with such a big goal.
Business consulting firms all over the world deal with things such as this on a daily basis. They have experts that can help you decide if making such a big move is a good idea, or if it is something you might not be ready for. Having a consultant that has expertise in expansion and growth in your corner is a wise choice.
With a new location, you want to make sure that a company can expand without causing more harm than good. A consultant can research the location you want to expand to and see if there are similar companies to yours. If there are, they can find out how many. If there are ten companies that offer the same services as you do, you will be the new kid on the block, and it may be hard to survive.
If all the research shows that you could benefit from expansion, a consultant can be with you every step of the way. They can provide you with endless information and knowledge to ensure that your company is a success! One of the main reasons a company will expand is to increase profit. A business consultant will make sure this will be the case.
When a company can expand and grow, the opportunities are endless. There are so many benefits to growing that go way beyond the company itself. By helping you expand your company, the business consultant will also be helping the economy. In the creation of new businesses, comes the creation of more jobs. More jobs mean more money that is put back into the economy. With you and the help of your consultant, you could be making a huge impact on the world in many ways!

- Premier League spotlight
Will it be more of the same for Rafael Boo-nitez?
Aston Villa's trip to West Brom is live this Saturday on ESPN from 4.30. Click here to find out how you can subscribe
Premier League Spotlight previews the weekend's top-flight fixtures, highlighting the key points to keep an eye on as the action unfolds.
Chelsea: Boo-nitez
The supporters at Stamford Bridge need little invitation to express their displeasure through the medium of booing nowadays (in fairness, they're not alone in that). For - in case you hadn't (literally) heard - they do not care for their interim manager Rafael Benitez, not since he said something or other about flags (I forget what).
Flags or no flags, Benitez is doing himself few favours if he wishes to endear himself to the haters (although it is debatable whether he is all that fussed about doing so), as Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Southampton, when a two-goal advantage was let slip, means they have now won only one of their last seven Premier League home games.
It is an all too easy, and ergo lazy, conclusion to draw that the bitter reception for Benitez in West London is transferring itself to the players, leading to negative results. The fact that the Blues' away form has been excellent - look at the 4-0 win at Stoke City last weekend - seemingly supports this theory, but it is likely that a different set of tactics and mindset from the opposition, and also from Benitez, at Stamford Bridge are also reasons for the stark contrast between fortunes on the road and in the so-called comfort of their own abode.
It was a theory Benitez backed last week before, on Wednesday evening, the Spanish coach turned his attention to wastefulness in front of goal against Southampton (who, as an aside, have lost only two of their last 12 league games, so bravo there), with only three of Chelsea's 18 shots hitting the target.
The Saints match was the Blues' game in hand, and drawing it means they now trail Manchester United by 13 points. To say the title is probably beyond them would hardly be a maverick point of view.
Their next home fixture is on Sunday when they host Arsenal, a team being carried on the 21-year-old shoulders of Jack Wilshere. The corresponding match last season was arguably one of the games of 2011-12, as Chelsea's high line under previous manager Andre Villas-Boas was exposed and the Gunners claimed a 5-3 win.
But Chelsea have already made light work of Arsenal this campaign, easing to a 2-1 win at the Emirates in September. That, however, was when Roberto Di Matteo was at the helm - so who knows what to think?
Tottenham: Sans Sandro
Tottenham were flat at Queens Park Rangers, never really testing goalkeeper Julio Cesar beyond the Brazilian's superb double save in the early stages.
The point earned at least extended their unbeaten run to six, setting them up solidly for their meeting with Manchester United at White Hart Lane on Sunday. There was a significant blemish at Loftus Road, however, as Sandro suffered a knee injury that required surgery.
The Brazilian has formed arguably the league's most effective central midfield partnership with Mousa Dembele, and his absence, the length of which has yet to be confirmed, will be felt. Scott Parker will come in as the 'spoiler' and 'sitter' but, while he offers similar energy and more experience, he will have a task on his hands to fill the former Internacional player's boots, particularly as he has not started a Premier League game since April 2012.
Remember, too, it was the midfield area that proved so decisive when Spurs ended their 23-year wait for a victory at Old Trafford in September.
Aston Villa: Dark in the Black Country
Heavens above, the skies over Villa Park look bleak. A five-match unbeaten run, capped by a marvellous 3-1 win at Liverpool, suggested Paul Lambert's side had turned a corner. Yet they are now five games without a win, having lost four of those matches and conceded 18 goals.
The most recent defeat came at home to Southampton, albeit thanks to a controversial penalty - but Jay Rodriguez's dive was a convenient deflection of attention from Lambert's side, who were below par until the latter stages.
Villa's recent fragility in defence has meant goal difference forces them into the relegation places, although a chance to breathe a puff of faith back into the supporters presents itself in the Black Country derby against rivals West Brom. The Baggies themselves are enduring a downturn in form, having suffered three straight losses.
The smart money would be on Steve Clarke's side, who boast the third-best home record in the division, to return to winning ways on Saturday evening. Look out, too, for the battle of the Belgians, as Romelu Lukaku goes head-to-head with Christian Benteke, with the former, three years the younger of the two, in particularly devastating form.
Wigan, Reading: Other strugglers
Wigan's rubbish form hasn't been flagged to any great degree - perhaps because it has become customary, and therefore not much to wail about, for them to be iffy for the first two-thirds of a season. Regardless, they've won just one of their last nine Premier League games and are spared a place in the drop zone only by virtue of Villa's comedic defending.
It is expected that Roberto Martinez's side will enjoy their habitual spring renaissance, ensuring that they escape demotion by the skin of their teeth. But football does not always play out to the same narrative. Martinez, who will be without defender Ivan Ramis for the remainder of the season because of a knee injury, should be concerned.
At Reading, though, maybe there is something stirring after three goals in the last eight minutes against West Brom clinched the win that spared them a place at the bottom of the pile. Royals manager Brian McDermott said after the comeback: "It is a big win for us." It is hard to disagree with him.
Saturday's trip to Newcastle is even bigger, as they face a team on a downward spiral. It is the cliched must-win match for the Magpies. A draw would simply not be enough to ease the unrest, with uncertainty over the excellent Fabricio Coloccini's future doing little to calm nerves on Tyneside.

Posted on 10/27/2012 1:56:18 AM PDT by SunkenCiv
Explanation: Beautiful emission nebula NGC 6164 was created by a rare, hot, luminous O-type star, some 40 times as massive as the Sun. Seen at the center of the cosmic cloud, the star is a mere 3 to 4 million years old. In another three to four million years the massive star will end its life in a supernova explosion. Spanning around 4 light-years, the nebula itself has a bipolar symmetry. That makes it similar in appearance to more familiar planetary nebulae - the gaseous shrouds surrounding dying sun-like stars. Also like many planetary nebulae, NGC 6164 has been found to have an extensive, faint halo, revealed in this deep telescopic image of the region. Expanding into the surrounding interstellar medium, the material in the halo is likely from an earlier active phase of the O star. The gorgeous skyscape is a composite of narrow-band image data highlighting the glowing gas, and broad-band data of the surrounding starfield. NGC 6164 is 4,200 light-years away in the southern constellation of Norma.

I like it too!
Much nicer than the terrestrial pics! :-)
That is a good pic.
Nebulae are beautiful, especially those with a crystal ball in the center, like this one.
I like the Nebula Roll as well. It's low carb!

Keywords: MEMS, silicon resonators, coupling of length scales, finite elements, molecular dynamics
We describe developments in the coupling of length scales methodology which allows the simulation of the dynamic and temperature dependent behavior of sub-micron Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS). This novel technique accurately models the behavior of the mechanical components of MEMS down to the atomic scale, by combining the power of an atomistic simulation with the e?ciency of finite elements. The codes have been written using scalable algorithms suitable for parallel supercomputers. In this paper we discuss the general issues involved in this type of multiscale simulation, with a particular emphasis on the behavior of finite elements when the mesh spacing is refined to the atomic scale and methods for generating such a mesh. We also describe some results from simulations of the vibrational behavior of sub-micron silicon and quartz oscillators.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa today expressed her good wishes for Narendra Modi but ruled out an alliance with any party.
Whatever has happened is an internal matter of the BJP, said Jayalalithaa,who is in Delhi to finalise Tamil Nadus annual plan. But at a personal level,I will only say that Narendra Modi is a good friend of mine. My good wishes are always with him. Whether he wins an election in Gujarat or whether he achieves an elevation within his own party,I am happy for him.
Asked about the prospect of her party forging an alliance ahead of the Lok sabha polls,Jayalalithaa said she has already made it clear that the AIADMKs goal was to win all 40 seats in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry by itself. So where is the question of any alliance?
She met Planning Commission deputy chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia over her states annual plan.

The politician held a press conference on Tuesday after it was announced that the gate officer would not face prosecution, although one fellow constable has been charged and he and another four face gross misconduct proceedings over the row.
Mr Mitchell again denied having made any reference to "knowing your place", or using the word "plebs" during the confrontation in September last year.
He said: "Police Constable Toby Rowland who was responsible for writing these toxic phrases into his notebook was not telling the truth."
Mr Mitchell claimed that Scotland Yard's investigation into plebgate cast "grave doubt on the ability of the police to investigate wrongdoing in their own ranks".
He said that the inquiry had "meandered on for more than a year", and caused "huge and unnecessary" public expense.
The decision not to focus on Pc Rowland let investigators centre on less important issues, he claimed.
"This has allowed the inquiry to focus on the secondary issues rather than the incendiary fact that armed police officers...have stitched up one of those they are supposed to protect."

DramaFever Weekly Top 10 for March 16 to March 22, 2015
Last week, Dream Knight and Blood had a surprising tug of war and the GOT7 knights snatched the crown in the Top 10 Most Watched Dramas. Last week's list also contained many other surprises. Let's see if the newest Top 10 list will give us a reversal, and find out where your favorite shows are.
Third time's the charm! Blood has confirmed its popularity with international audience by reclaiming the #1 position in our coveted Top 10 Most Watched Dramas for the week. Yay! In case you didn't know, here are 5 interesting and unsual facts about Blood's leading actors.
I caught up with Someone Like You, and it's really been nice to see a drama that's heavy on the romance and gives us memorably funny moments. This drama hasn't reached the Top 10 list, and I wish it would because it is one of the best Taiwanese dramas in our portfolio. I recall that I was okay with the first two episodes, but by episode 3, I was really into the story and totally like the very funny Kirsten Ren and the handsome Kingone Wang. (I love Kingone's voice too.) Check out our great recaps HERE.
I was very pleased with Hyde, Jekyll, and I's recent development. It's a nice change once it got over the evil villain and now heads straight into a romantic ship composed of 2 lovers, with many affectionate moments between the leads as well as the cute side couple. Last week I was suggesting a dialogue of the 3 together. Guess what happened? It will conclude this week, and I predict a happy and romantic ending, but there is still that tiny tingling of fear of the unknown. Hyun Bin and Han Ji Min, fighting!
Mischievous Kiss 2: Love in Tokyo will also finish this week with episode 16. I'm going to miss Miki Honoka and Furukawa Yuki.
In other news:
Kill Me, Heal Me will finish this week on DramaFever. Yes, I'm well aware that some of you may be ahead of us already; therefore, I would like to ask that you don't share the "spoilers" since many viewers including myself don't know the ending yet. Enjoy news about Ji Sung HERE and HERE
New on-air Taiwanese romantic comedy drama, Murphy's Law of Love with Danson Tang and Li Ying Jia, starts Monday, March 24. Here's actually a great title even though the original Chinese title isn't the same, but it's for a good reason. The word "Murphy" has a dual meaning when it's translated from a sound-alike Chinese word 莫非 that means "How could it be?" The full Chinese title is "Could it be that this is love?" (Okay, that was my quick Chinese lesson for the day.)
Don't forget, on Tuesday, March 24, you can hang out with Kim Woo Bin! Find out more HERE.
A new movie adventure with Tazza 2: The Hidden Card, starring Choi Seung Hyun aka T.O.P and Shin Se Kyung, starts Friday, March 27.
Here are last week's Weekly Top 10 shows in order of most popular:
1. Blood (exclusive)
2. Dream Knight
3. Running Man
5. Heirs (exclusive) - tied
5. Roommate (exclusive) - tied
6. Kill Me, Heal Me - tied
8. Fool's Love (exclusive)
9. Maids (exclusive)
10. Pinocchio
Last week's Top 10: DramaFever Weekly Top 10 for March 9 to March 15, 2015
Are you surprised by this week's list? Which shows are you watching?
I'd love to hear from you.
You can ask me a direct question about dramas, and I'll try my best to answer.
BTW, here's a new theory why Heirs has enjoyed a renewed popularity. What do you all think, perhaps Suzy has been binge watching it? Wonder what Suzy and Lee Min Ho watch when they're together?

Another Country (novel)

|436 p
Another Country is a 1962 novel by James Baldwin. The novel is set in Greenwich Village, New York City, in the late 1950s. It portrayed many themes that were taboo at the time of its release, including bisexuality, interracial couples and extramarital affairs.
Background information[edit]
Baldwin started writing Another Country in Greenwich Village in 1948 and continued to write the novel in Paris and again New York. Despite his privately confessed reluctance to bring "Another Country, unfinished, into yet another country," Baldwin completed the book in Istanbul in 1962.[1][2] In 1959, amidst growing fame, Baldwin received a $12,000 grant from the Ford Foundation to support his work on the book.[3]
Baldwin had returned to the United States in 1957, partly to cover the mounting Civil Rights Movement led by Martin Luther King Jr. Baldwin admired King, but sought to depict relationships deeper than King's "brotherly love".[4]
Plot summary[edit]
The first fifth of Another Country tells of the downfall of jazz drummer Rufus Scott. Rufus begins a relationship with Leona, a white woman from the South and introduces her to his social circle, including his closest friend, the struggling novelist Vivaldo, his more successful mentor Richard, and Richard's wife Cass. Although the relationship is initially frivolous, it turns more serious as they continue to live together. Rufus becomes habitually physically abusive of Leona and she is eventually admitted to a mental hospital in the South. Rufus returns to Harlem in a deep depression and commits suicide by jumping off the George Washington Bridge.
The rest of the book explores relationships between Rufus's friends, family, and acquaintances in the wake of his death.[5][6] Rufus' friends cannot understand the suicide, and experience some guilt over his death. Afterwards they become closer. Vivaldo begins a relationship with Rufus' sister Ida, which is strained by racial tension and Ida's bitterness after her brother's death.
Eric, Rufus's first male lover and an actor, returns to New York after years living in France where he met his longtime lover Yves. Eric returns to the novel's social circle but is more calm and composed than most of the clique.
Everyone's relationships become strained in the course of the novel. Ida starts having an affair with Ellis, an advertising executive who promises to help with her career as a singer. Cass, who has become lonely due to Richard's writing career, has an affair with Eric after he arrives in New York. At the novel's climax, Cass tells Richard about her affair with Eric, Eric and Vivaldo have a sexual encounter, and Vivaldo learns about Ida's relationship with Ellis.
The book uses a third-person narrator who is nevertheless close with the characters' emotions.[7]
Race and nationalism[edit]
Baldwin called Rufus "the black corpse floating in the national psyche", as well as a Christ figure—a living (and dying) symbol of suffering black men.[5] Rufus's death has been described as tantamount to murder.[6][8]
Because Rufus is living in a predominantly racist time era, his life is constantly affected by an internalization of this racism to the point where he hates himself. Throughout the novel, the effects of this internalized oppression are obvious: he is sexual with any person who is white—violently sexual, because he seeks power; he feels disappointed in himself because of his proud black sister Ida, and avoids the support of his family during his last day of life.
The concept of "another country" reflects not only the return of Eric to the United States from France, but also the feelings of alienation experienced by African Americans within the United States.[8]
The novel was unique at the time in its attempt to explore race relations through romantic love instead of homosocial friendships.[4]
The relationship between Ida and Vivaldo serves as a microcosm for the relationship between African Americans and white liberals.[9] Their relationship and others (including the earlier coupling of Rufus and Leona) represent a struggle for love amidst the obstacles of race, sex, and modern society. According to Baldwin biographer W. J. Weatherby:
Whether it was the central relationship between white Vivaldo and black Ida or the accompanying bisexual affairs involving most of the other leading characters, all were intended by Baldwin to illustrate how difficult he felt real love was in contemporary American society. Facing each other without lies and perceiving the relationship realistically were much more important than which sexes were involved or how love was expressed, in Baldwin's opinion. [...] The whole racial situation, according to the novel, was basically a failure of love."[10]
Racial and sexual differences are compared and contrasted, both represented as areas for conflict that must be addressed en route to mature love.[11] According to some readings, this complete unity represents another 'another country' and perhaps an impossible utopia.[4][12] Stefanie Dunning writes:
Rufus' death suggests that there is no black utopia, no place where he can escape the iniquities of racism. More importantly, Another Country suggests that we have not yet found a model for thinking outside the box that frames our discussions of interraciality and same-sex eroticism. It suggests, more importantly, that eliminating gender and racial difference will not solve the "problems" of difference either. The title of the novel suggests the wish for "another country," another nation, in which our racial and sexual selves are imagined and defined differently or perhaps where they are not defined at all. It is at once a question: another country, illustrating the futility of national crossings, and it is a wistful fantasy: another country, a mythic, imaginary and unattainable place where relationships are not fractured by difference.[8]
Dunning argues that the novel's critique of nationalism extends to black nationalism, which still relies on a fantasy of authentic and heterosexual reproduction.[8]
Willing ignorance[edit]
One of the most significant themes in Another Country is one's willingness to ignore parts of reality (including oneself) that one finds unpleasant or ego-dystonic. Vivaldo is perhaps the most affected by this tendency. He also partially denies his own bisexuality. He fails to fully admit his attraction to Rufus. On the night of his death, Rufus went to Vivaldo and indicated a need for sexual love but Vivaldo pretended not to recognize this need and later feels guilty, suspecting that he might have prevented Rufus' death. He does not see that his attraction to Ida potentially mirrors his attraction to Rufus. Also, despite mounting signs that Ida is involved in a career-advancing affair with the white TV producer Ellis, Vivaldo mostly denies this until the disillusioned Ida confesses to him herself in a cathartic scene near the end of the book.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, after considerable youthful struggles with self-acceptance of his homosexuality due to social ostracism in his hometown in Alabama, Eric eventually becomes the novel's most honest and open character. He admits that Rufus was abusive of Leona, that he actually does not reciprocate Cass's love, and that his love of Yves is genuine. This also makes him the book's most calm and composed character. Only after a night with Eric does Vivaldo see the world more clearly and make tentative steps toward acceptance of his own bisexuality.
Most of the white characters in the book downplay or refuse to admit the racial tension surrounding them. Cass and Richard are shocked when a group of black boys beat up their sons. Ida constantly suspects Vivaldo of exploiting her because she is black and has known white men who seek out sexual relations specifically with black women. Vivaldo refuses to admit any of this, although it is indicated that it may be true of their relationship.
Professional jealousy[edit]
Richard and Vivaldo are jealous of one another as writers. Vivaldo essentially denies the value of Richard's first novel, and is jealous that it is being published, while Richard is jealous of Vivaldo because Richard thinks his wife Cass sees suffering and a lack of commercial success as a sign of artistic integrity. Consequently, after Cass and Eric initiate their affair, Richard suspects she is seeing Vivaldo.
Also, Ida's beginning recognition as a jazz singer causes increased tension and jealousy between her and Vivaldo.
Another Country received much attention and mixed reviews. Reviews in the black press were generally favorable. The New York Times called it "a sad story, brilliantly and fiercely told" and compared it to T. S. Eliot's "The Waste Land" as a record of spiritual desolation in modern times. Time magazine called it "a failure". Norman Mailer said it was "abominably written". It quickly became a bestseller.[13][14]
A film adaptation was announced in 1964, with Tony Richardson directing and Baldwin himself writing the screenplay, though the film was never produced.[15][16]
The book was designated "obscene" in New Orleans and banned, drawing the attention of FBI director J. Edgar Hoover.[17] In Australia, the Commonwealth Customs Department banned its import. The country's Literature Censorship Board, while admitting Baldwin's writing had some merit, described Another Country as "continually smeared with indecent, offensive and dirty epithets and allusions." The chairman noted that some might connect the novel's depiction of race relations with current events in Australia, and bearing in mind that a complete ban might damage the country's reputation, suggested that the book be available to "the serious minded student or reader."[18]
Baldwin inferred from the book's popularity that "many more people than are willing to admit it lead lives not at all unlike the lives of the people in my book."[19] Baldwin also said that the book "scared people because most don't understand it."[20]
Eldridge Cleaver had harsh words for Baldwin in Soul On Ice, writing that although he admired Baldwin in some ways but felt increasingly uncomfortable with his writing. Cleaver says that Another Country made clear why his "love for Baldwin's vision had become ambivalent",[21] and writes:
Rufus Scott, a pathetic wretch who indulged in the white man's pastime of committing suicide, who let a white homosexual fuck him in the ass, and who took a Southern Jezebel for his woman, with all that these tortured relationships imply, was the epitome of a black eunuch who has completely submitted to the white man. Yes, Rufus was a psychological freedom rider, turning the ultimate cheek, murmuring like a ghost "You took the best so why not take the rest," which has absolutely nothing to do with the way that Negroes have managed to survive here in the hells of North America![22]
The book was listed by Anthony Burgess as one of his Ninety-nine Novels: The best in English since 1939.
Literary criticism[edit]
On writing the book, Baldwin said in the New York Times Book Review: "I think I really helplessly model myself on jazz musicians and try to write the way they sound. I am not an intellectual, not in the dreary sense that word is used today, and do not want to be: I am aiming at what Henry James called 'perception at the pitch of passion.'"[10] Asked to cite literary influences, Baldwin said that Joseph Conrad, James Joyce, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, and George Bernard Shaw were his "models".[23]
It has been argued that James Baldwin is in three characters : Rufus as Baldwin would have turned out had he not moved to France, Eric as Baldwin was in Paris, and Vivaldo as a writer struggling with a writer's block because of his love affairs, in the manner of Baldwin himself.[1] Baldwin has also been identified with Ida, as Rufus's advocate after death, and Richard, a writer who has become successful.[24]
Baldwin later said that he developed the character of Rufus to complement and explain Ida.[4]
The character of Yves is connected to Baldwin's lover Lucien Happersberger, who made plans in 1960 to meet Baldwin in New York City.[25]
The book has been described as an implicit criticism of Mailer's "The White Negro" and its passive romanticization of black culture. Brandon Gordon describes this critique in terms of the relationship between Vivaldo and Rufus, mediated by Leona. Gordon writes: "Contrary to Vivaldo's expectations, emulating the African American's hypermasculine sexual ethos does not ultimately enable him to fulfill the hipster's fantasy of embodied identification." He concludes that in fact Vivaldo's homosexual encounter with Eric at the end of the novel—and specifically the fact that Vivaldo is penetrated—represents a truer form of "embodied identification" with another.[26]

Rufus, said Baldwin, is 'the black corpse floating in the national psyche'; he and what he represents must be squarely faced if we are to find peace in ourselves and our society. In 'Nobody Knows My Name' Baldwin had written, 'The nation, the entire nation, has spent a hundred years avoiding the question of the place of the black man in it.' Rufus is that man. [...] The presence of Rufus, then, is at the source of all the relationships in Another Country. Each character has been touched in one way or another by him, by his agony. Rufus Scott is the Christ figure—the sacrificial victim—in this parable of James Baldwin's 'gospel.'"

Pandemic Season 12 Episode 10
Discovering all the Peruvian pan flute bands that have turned common lately, and the money they can make day by day by marketing CDs, Stan converts the other boys to begin their own pan flute band. They win over their classmate Craig to gift his $100.00 USD birthday money as risk capital. The plan boomerangs when the head of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security collapses down on all Peruvian flute bands, rounding them up and putting them behind bars in Miami, with the boys caught in the action. The boys undertake to win over their capturers that they are American nationals, but the DHS only accords to free the boys if they concur to go on a mission to bring down the country of Peru, in order that the pandemic of Peruvian flute bands at its origin. As the boys brace oneself for their suicide mission, Peruvian players still worked in the camp discourage guards that their incarceration will let loose the "Furry Death".
Meanwhile, Stan's father, Randy Marsh, raises the ire of his family by videotaping most any mundane household activity in on his new camcorder. His camera documents the rampage of giant (live action) guinea pigs with town. At the episode's conclusion, it is revealed that the head of Homeland Security is a little kind of monster behind the sudden arrival of guinea pigs running loose through the country, and such a the motive he sent the boys to Peru is because the only old customer who would thwart it is Craig.

WASHINGTON — The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau took "misguided and deceptive" actions in extracting settlements from indirect auto lenders for possible discrimination against minorities, House Republicans said in a report issued Tuesday.
The report, released by Republicans on the Financial Services Committee, accuses the CFPB of unfairly punishing the lenders for use of a common compensation practice that allows dealership partners to increase the wholesale rate on loans.
For years the CFPB has been using a theory called disparate impact to cite lenders for unintentional discrimination resulting from their agreements with dealerships, over which the CFPB has no jurisdiction. The CFPB relied on a "flawed" statistical methodology to further its policy aims and exceed its authority, the report said.
"As internal documents … reveal, the bureau's [Equal Credit Opportunity Act] enforcement actions have been misguided and deceptive," the report said. "The bureau ignores, for instance, the lack of congressional intent to provide for disparate impact liability under ECOA, just as it ignores the fact that indirect auto finance companies are not always subject to ECOA and have a strong business-justification defense."
CFPB officials declined to comment on the report Tuesday until they can review it in detail, bureau spokesman Sam Gilford said.
However, one of the agency's primary goals has been the elimination of illegal discrimination, he said.
"Discrimination in auto lending has resulted in minority borrowers being unfairly charged higher interest rates on their loans," he said. "We will continue to fairly and consistently enforce the Equal Credit Opportunity Act to ensure borrowers harmed by discrimination receive the relief they deserve."
American Banker published a series of stories in September that showed CFPB staffers knew their methodology overestimated the number of minorities who were potentially harmed by dealer pricing, but continued to use it so they could seek big settlements with major lenders in an attempt to eliminate or curb price discretion.
Memos showed that the CFPB has more than $1 million in contracts with the firm BLDS LLC to provide statistical analysis on the CFPB's fair-lending cases while the firm's owner, Bernard Siskin, also represents most major banks in defending against such cases, according to the series.
The report from Financial Services Committee Republicans noted as a "potential conflict of interest" one unnamed bank's hiring of Siskin to punch holes in the CFPB's methodology.
The report also claims internal memos revealed that CFPB senior officials advised Director Richard Cordray "on the weaknesses of their legal theory," including that they knew their own methodology was less accurate than other available methods and that it "may not even be recognized as actionable by the Supreme Court."
Yet the CFPB persisted in using its enforcement hand to create a "global solution" that would push lenders into a flat-fee structure or lower the cap on markups with dealers, the report said. However, few indirect auto lenders have voluntarily changed their practices outside of a handful of settlements with the CFPB.
Some industry trade groups immediately responded to the report, reiterating their concerns with the CFPB's method for determining disparate impact. Industry proponents have long argued that car costs overall will increase as a result of lowering or eliminating dealers' price discretion.
"The actions of the CFPB are forcing consumers to pay much more than they need to for auto financing, and this report only illustrates the lengths to which the CFPB has gone to hide that fact from consumers and block transparency in their policymaking," Peter Welch, president of the National Automobile Dealers Association, wrote in an email. "Frankly, consumers should be outraged."
Chris Stinebert, chief executive of the American Financial Services Association, also backed the right to dealer-discretion pricing.
"Consumers deserve to be treated fairly, and financing cars and trucks through the dealer remains the most convenient and cost effective way to purchase a vehicle," Stinebert said in a separate email.
With the CFPB's "plans for a true 'global solution' having stalled," the committee Republicans' report said, the CFPB has begun planning "a major expansion of its individual enforcement actions." It cited a June 29 internal memo in which CFPB staffers discuss investigating more than two dozen auto lenders' pricing policies with dealers.
The report also claims that the CFPB may be considering new rules to expand its authority under the Equal Credit law and prohibit lenders from compensating dealers based on the terms of a loan.
The committee has posted the report, "Unsafe at Any Bureaucracy: CFPB Junk Science and Indirect Auto Lending," on its website, along with 33 links to internal memos and various documents from the CFPB.

Catching was slow at the feeders, but nice to have the first four Yellowhammers of the winter. The weather needs to get harder to bring them in greater numbers. Orwin's again produced a large tit flock with 26 birds in one net round. This included 14 retrapped Long-tailed Tits of which half were from the last two winters. A small sample, but maybe indicative of higher survival rates with very recent milder winters. All the other retraps are from the same time frame.
Captures were (new/retraps) 81(39/42): Blackbird 1/0, Blue Tit 5/5, Chaffinch 9/2, Dunnock 1/1, Goldcrest 0/1, Greater Spotted Woodpecker 1/0, Great Tit 6/17, Long-tailed Tit 0/14, Redwing 7/0, Robin 2/2, Tree Sparrow 1/0, Wren 2/0, Yellowhammer 4/0.

BlueDot Divita
There are very few cd racks out there that actually look good. Sure, there are options such as the Duoplane CD Shelves but these can still take up quite a bit of space especially if you have a large CD collection. Assuming that you still regularly use those cd's and have not made the transition to a streaming solution such as Apple TV then the BlueDot Divita might be worth a look. Essentially a dvd/ cd storage tower, it does away with the space consuming jewel cases and stores up to 100 discs. The 1.8" display and number pad are your means of accessing and organizing your discs....as long as nothing goes wrong with the internal mechanism.
Available here for a steep $489.

It's the revenge of the polar vortex!
A frigid cold air system will be moving through the eastern United States next week, leading to intense weather conditions reminiscent of last year's dreaded polar vortex.
The approaching weather system is expected to bring overwhelmingly below-average temperatures to parts of the northern and northeastern US next week, beginning Monday or Tuesday, according to the Washington Post.
States located in areas such as the High Plains, the central US and the Great Lakes could see temperatures 20 to 30 degrees below their current averages.
That means people normally dealing with scorching temperatures sometimes reaching triple digits will now find themselves enjoying highs only in the 50s and 60s.
Overnight lows could possibly even dip into the 40s in areas near the Great Lakes, especially in Minneapolis and Chicago, the Washington Post reports.
The abnormally frigid conditions should be reaching the East Coast by the end of the week, bringing strong cold fronts to New York City that could ignite a string of heavy showers and thunderstorms.
Scorching temperatures typically in the 90s will transform into the mid-70s, with overnight lows possibly reaching the 40s.
Weather Underground meteorologist Jeff Masters says Japan's Typhoon Neoguri is to blame for the plummeting temperatures.
"Neoguri will cause an acceleration of the North Pacific jet stream, causing a large amount of warm, moist tropical air to push over the North Pacific," he said.
"This will amplify a trough of low pressure over Alaska, causing a ripple effect in the jet stream over western North America, where a strong ridge of high pressure will develop, and over the Midwestern United States, where a strong trough of low pressure will form."
