All writers know how tough it can be when your work is criticized and sometimes it's hard not to respond with a mean joke at the critic's expense. But even when succumbing to the temptation of a one-liner, most of us manage to avoid sounding like racists. Not Girls writer Lesley Arfin, who responded to complaints that there were no black characters, save for a single homeless guy, in the first episode of the HBO show, by tweeting, "What really bothered me most about Precious was that there was no representation of ME." (Update: Arfin has some other questionable jokes in her social media history.)
Do you get it? See, Girls, set in New York City, is about four rich thin white girls. Precious, also set in New York City, is about one poor fat black girl who is sexually abused by her father and lives in the projects. It's a "funny" "joke" because Arfin thinks she would never actually interact with a person like Precious. The idea of an Arfin character in Precious -- hilarious! It appears Arfin was responding to criticism like that of New York Times technology reporter Jenna Wortham who wrote a critique of the show for The Hairpin on Monday morning, concluding, "I just wish I saw a little more of myself on screen, right alongside them." (Arfin's tweet went out on Monday evening.) Wortham explains her problem with the show:
My chief beef is not simply that the girls in Girls are white... But the problem with Girls is that while the show reaches — and succeeds, in many ways — to show female characters that are not caricatures, it feels alienating, a party of four engineered to appeal to a very specific subset of the television viewing audience, when the show has the potential to be so much bigger than that. And that is a huge fucking disappointment.
The argument has been made that smart women on screen are already enough of a minority to make up for the lack of women of color. Nope. Not good enough.
Before Arfin was hired by Lena Dunham to write for the show, she was a fixture on New York's cool kid blogging scene, collaborating with various elements of the Vice empire. Her 2007 book Dear Diary was published by Vice Books and MTV Press. (with the an intro by Chloe Sevigny) and she edited the Williamsburg-based Missbehave magazine.
At exiled Vice co-founder Gavin McInnes's Street Carnage (where Arfin once wrote the Ask Barf advice column) Benjamin Leo thinks her analysis is dead-on. Responding to Toure's (complimentary!) tweet asking where the black folks were on the show, Leo writes, "Suck my dick too, you fuckin one-track-minded McCarthyist hijackers." McCarthyist! You know, after Joe McCarthy, famed red-baiter. Noting Arfin's Precious tweet, he says:
UGGGGG, but now watch as the writers are forced to acquiesce and add some phony token Black Rhodes Scholar to appease these morons. Guys, you've kept it SO real—please don't suck their balls. It's 2012 and Obama's in the White House: the McCarthyism 2.0 witch-hunting mob has been disarmed! They have no power over you! TELLYOUR STORY."
McInnes has his own ideas about race crafted to get people to notice him, as in his August 2011 essay for Taki's Magazine titled something I'd rather not retype. That's the same magazine that published John Derbyshire's racist essay that got him fired from The National Review last week. Derbyshire wrote about the necessity of getting a smart black friend just in case someone calls you racist. Leo dresses it up in a different style, but his advice is the same.

The Amen Corner
Rufus Norris' revival of James Baldwin's Harlem-set gospel drama provides 'the most joyous NT evening of the year so far', says Michael Coveney
James Baldwin's mid-1950s hot-gospelling Harlem domestic drama has usually been considered a powerful statement about charity beginning at home, but an indifferent piece of theatre.
And that was my reaction to the last London revival, which started at the Tricycle and enlivened the West End briefly in 1987.
But Rufus Norris' irresistible production in the Olivier, with a tremendous, tragic and deeply moving performance by Marianne Jean-Baptiste as Sister Margaret Alexander, turns that preconception on its head. And provides the most joyous NT evening of the year so far.
Sister Margaret, who runs a "store-front" chapel upstairs populated by righteous brothers and sisters led by the imperious, bespectacled Cecilia Noble, and the glorious London Community Gospel Choir, has replaced her jazz-loving husband and wayward son with God in her life. She has to learn the right balance. That's it.But of course she has to learn the hard way. Norris and company have re-energised the simple dynamics of the play so that Baldwin's characters "extend" through the action and the upstairs hallelujahs movingly counterpoint the developments in the downstairs kitchen.
Ian MacNeil's design helps in this, too, creating a hazy Harlem hothouse of peeling windows and architraves around a split-level, opened-out interior; even when Lucian Msamati's prodigal husband returns home – and this exceptional actor shows his true mettle here in two spectacularly managed collapses – he sleeps downstage in full view.
This creates a sort of vivid double pietà effect, with Sister Margaret also "cradling" Eric Kofi Abrefa's son David as he plays out the great leave-taking scene, the personal flashpoint of Baldwin's story. Jean-Baptiste is in bottled-up emotional meltdown in this last part of the play, completing a spiritual journey from sermonising sanctimony to heart-breaking humanity.
She is nuzzled along the way by her blood sister, Odessa, beautifully done by a transformed, new-look Sharon D Clarke, and a series of sharp vignettes by Jacqueline Boatswain as a gossipy sister "superior," Donovan F Blackwood as her husband (the Clarke Peters role in 1987), and Miquel Brown as a chapel stalwart.
Whereas Sister Margaret diagnoses the loss of her second born as a positive sign from God, she cannot console the raging mother who loses hers at the top of the second act, and this passage becomes the structural hinge of the play.
The vocal arranger is the Reverend Bazil Meade, the music director, Tim Sutton. The gospel and hymn-singing is just wonderful throughout; you'll stand up at the end to join in, not just applaud.

Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice is as dark as it gets. The world reeks of a Batsy who isn't afraid to decimate, a misunderstood Sups trying to prove himself to the people, and a psychotic villain Lex who has bigger roguish plans in mind.
You are not brave. Men are brave.
Zack Snyder tries to delve into an era that began it all. He had so much to cover in a screen time that allows only a part of our life to be fantastically miracle-struck. There were so many characters to visit in Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice. So many criticalities to maintain without messing too much with the originality. So many action sequences to be covered, villainy to visit and a big gravitas to partake upon! Is he able to deliver? Yes! The end result is outrageously awesome!
DCEU Capes Have Come
Lo! Behold! The DC Extended Universe has finally unfurled, with a proper pledge to hold the ground this time around with Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice. Zack has found a firm understructure that promises to write some impending tales of badass. We are left with open strings that are yet to find their knots and storylines that are about to become exceptional DC stories that will rummage out all extraordinary ideas in the open.
We have finally found the Lex Luthor in Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice that we have been waiting for so long. Jesse Eisenberg nails a taut Luthor who is deranged, unhinged, has the right words in the mouth, crooked and who always seems to stay ahead of the curve. He has all the features that we expect to see in a LexCorp promenade. Watch out for his screenplay! Totally owns the show!
Nod to Batfleck
Ben Affleck walks in with the right mien right from the start as he keeps finding himself reasons to hate Superman more. The dread in his voice is real and he makes Batsy scarier and better. A nod there to Ben! Ye have been accepted!
Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman is brilliant too. Her entry chimes with superheroic pizzazz.
Visuals and Score
Taking the levels of action-notch up a notch are Batman v Superman's enthralling visual effects. A mind-boggling presentation that Zack scores with just the right angles! The bombardment and the annihilation come trundling from the graves of the extraordinaire. Adrenaline finds a new high!
Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL nail the flick's music to perfection. Watch out for areas where the notes reach a new upbeat high, and tranches at alluring lows. Complements all frames magnificently!
You can order Batman v Superman Ultimate Edition Extended Cut from here:
Spoilers Ahead
Even though there were ignorable bits in Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice that try to mess with the regular flow, the consequence ups the stage of all benchmarks set prior for action movies. The Bat fighting seq that we see portrays an action akin to the video games franchise. He is ruthless and isn't afraid to bring the house down spearheading with sheer chaos, brings complete destruction with his fighting moves.
Downsides of Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice
Things that the movie missed out on are in creating the right air for the Keefe preparation. The editing went shoddy there, as Zack fails to cash in on Scoot McNairy's character, a talented actor who gets lost in an epic tale. Also, the parallel dimensional vision, even though a tad self-explanatory, I have reason to believe people might not have understood the reference. I could have used one step at a time rather than a hotchpotch.
Another bit, where Diana spends hours to see what is going on in the metahuman department as daft references were made through video frames, was unnecessary and we could have lived without. One step at a time, again! Also, the scavenging for Kryptonite seemed a wee bit forced, primarily to make the superheroes encounter each other.
Then there is that weird Martha moment that seems to have been badly played. Batman is too quick to forgive Superman when he hears his mother's name. That is possibly one of the biggest flaws in the movie. It is oddly enacted and doesn't feel right.
Knight vs Day
The big battle between the two in Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice doesn't match the levels of what we have already perceived in comics and animated series. But it is still very good as Batsy keeps acing his blows with expert lines.
Doomsday makes things even better with his presence. But I feel he deserves more screen time taking into consideration the kind of villain he is, and what he means to the comic world. We meet the popular Kryptonian end in this one, but we already knew how that was supposed to pan out! Didn't we? 😉
Highly recommended for all DC lovers and action buffs! I choose to ignore Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice movie's flaws for the sheer fact that I am a loco DC buff. So good, I am going to watch this flick again.
You can check out the trailer of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice here:
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
- Extraordinary action
- Mind boggling visual effects
- The right kind of dark
- Found an exceptional Luther
- Gates have been opened for future squalls
- Trying to scooch in a lot of Easter eggs
- Editing loses it sometimes
- Unneeded elements create hotchpotch

In the horrendous history of black slavery in the Americas, the existence of something in the order of 300,000 Englishmen who, during the seventeenth and eighteenth century, were sent as "indentured servants", transported convicts or prisoners of war to toil in the tobacco fields, sugar or cotton plantations is largely forgotten.
The book "White Cargo" by Don Jordan and Michael Walsh, opens with the story of the discovery of the skeleton of a boy of 16 in what had been the cellar of a 17th century house. He had been buried in a hole under a pile of household waste. Forensic examination showed he had died of tuberculosis around 1660 but worse his skull showed evidence of a mouth infection and herniated discs and other injuries to his back bore evidence of a short life of hard toil. When he had died he had been of so little account, he had simply been tossed into the garbage.
The failure to find gold in the new land in the early seventeenth century, led English authorities to look for another form of wealth, tobacco, but tobacco needed people to tend it and to find cheap labour the landowners turned their eyes back to England and the people that society considered "surplus" - the homeless, the destitute and the criminal.
They began with children. Some were sent by their impoverished parents in the promise of a better life (in a sad evocation of what was to come in the 1950s with the expatriation of children from the slums of Liverpool). Others were urchins, rounded up off the streets of London and forcibly deported them to Virginia. There they were sold to planters who worked them to death, often within a year. The fate of the young man mentioned above?
The next group of people were the sweepings of England's gaols. Between 50,000 - 70,000 convicts were transported to Virginia, Maryland, Barbados and the other possessions in the years before 1776*. These included political prisoners such as royalists or religious persecutees such as Quakers. Prostitutes were rounded up and sent as "breeders".
Following the battles of Dunbar (1650) and Worcester (1651) thousands of Scottish prisoners of war were sent to labour in the sugar plantations of the West Indies. Some survived and having earned their freedom did quite well in the new lands but for many it was a death sentence. (see my novel THE KING'S MAN)
|Irish women and children being loaded on to ships
And when labour began to run short, the authorities turned to kidnap. Innocent young men were duped or just forcibly coerced on the ships bound for the colonies. Kidnappers were reputedly paid 2 pounds by the planter's agents for strong, fit young men and if this reminds you of R.L. Stevenson's novel "Kidnapped", then you are right. It is the basis for that plot. It is also the basis of the Steeleye Span song that I have included below.
|An indenture
The plight of the indentured servant is illustrated in the life and death of Thomas Hellier. In 1677, Thomas Hellier of Whitchurch, in Dorset an educated young man of 28 in somewhat dire straits, signed up as an indentured servant and sailed to Virginia. There he was delivered first to a planter called Connor who then sold him to Cuthbert Williamson of the ominously named "Hard Labour Plantation". Although he was promised a role as tutor to Williamson's sons, Hellier was put to work in the tobacco fields. Not only was he subject to the hard labour in the fields but also the continual haranguing of Williamson's wife. Hellier ran away, was recaptured and his period of indenture extended. With his hair clipped to mark him as a runaway he was put back to work, subject to even more abuse from Mrs. Williamson than before.
One May morning in 1678, Hellier rose, dressed in his best clothe and taking an axe and a knife murdered Williamson and his wife, and a servant. After a few weeks on the run he was captured and sentenced to hang. On his gallows he gave a moving speech against the tyranny of the plantation owners. After he was dead, his body was hung in a gibbet at Windmill Point on the James River as a warning to indentured servants not to defy their masters.
This song by Steeleye Span, "Gone to America", exemplifies the plight of the young men who just "disappeared" and those they left behind...

The Crimson has now won 14 of the 26 weekly awards given out by the Ivy League (Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Temi Fagbenle helped the Harvard women's basketball team to a 2-0 week with wins at Yale and Brown and was rewarded for her efforts by being named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week.
Fagbenle has earned the honor seven times this season, tying her with former Crimson standout Hana Peljto '04 for the fifth most rookie of the week honors in conference history. The London, England, native has also been tabbed player of the week twice, bringing her weekly award total for the year to nine.
Harvard has combined for a total of 14 Ivy League awards this season, setting a new program record and putting the team one honor shy of Princeton's all-time mark of 15. The Crimson has earned at least one honor each week it has competed.
Fagbenle averaged 17.0 ppg and 9.0 rpg for the week while shooting 73.7 percent from the field. On Friday at Yale, she scored a career-high 20 points on 9-of-12 shooting and pulled down nine boards to lead the Crimson to a 67-54 victory. Fagbenle posted 14 points on a 5-of-7 performance with nine rebounds on Saturday as Harvard overcame an 11-point deficit to register a 68-58 win at Brown.
Harvard returns to the court this weekend as it hosts Cornell and Columbia at Lavietes Pavilion.

The ascendant Fifth Stratum iteration of a sunrise from beyond an ancient Spanish fort — known as Platinum Morning — has a little-known counterpart: Strontium Evening.
The sounds of Nightkill remain the Cue for this particular Vision as well, sung here instead by Hesperis rather than Eos Erigeneia in the original.
The setting here though is more domestic than exotic: Rolling tracts of the East Bank, notes in the air of freshly mowed lawns mixing with hints of charcoal from righteous grill-outs and the intermittent crackle of UV bug zappers. All under a blazing scarlet canopy. And once again, above a tree-silhouetted sky, the arpeggiated major sevenths chime through the crimson ether, cycling their march in semidiapente, fading into night.

Health advice for Guatemala
Most visitors enjoy Guatemala without experiencing any health problems. However, it's always easier to become ill in a country with a different climate, food and germs – still more so in a poor country with lower standards of sanitation than you might be used to.
Continue reading to find out more about...
It's vital to get the best health advice you can before you set off. Consult the websites mentioned for health precautions and disease prevention advice. Pay a visit to your doctor or a travel clinic as far in advance of travel as possible, and if you're pregnant or likely to become so, mention this at the outset. Many clinics also sell the latest travel health products, including water filters and medical kits. Finally you'll definitely need health insurance.
Once you're there, what you eat and drink is crucial. In addition to the hazards mentioned under "Intestinal troubles" below, contaminated food and water can transmit the hepatitis A virus, which can lay a victim low for several months with exhaustion, fever and diarrhoea, and can even cause liver damage.
Vaccinations, inoculations and malaria precautions
There are no obligatory inoculations for Guatemala (unless you're arriving from a "high-risk" area of yellow fever – northern South America and equatorial Africa). Nevertheless, there are several you should have anyway. Make sure you're up to date with tetanus and typhoid vaccinations and consider having hepatitis A and tuberculosis (TB) jabs. Long-term travellers or anyone spending time in rural areas should think about having the combined hepatitis A and B and the rabies vaccines (though for a caveat on that).
Malaria is a danger in some parts of the country (particularly in the rural lowlands). It's not a problem in the big cities, or anywhere over 1500m – which includes Antigua, Guatemala City, Chichicastenango, Lago de Atitlán, Quetzaltenango and virtually all of the western highlands. However, if you plan to visit any lowland areas, including Petén, Alta Verapaz and the Pacific or Caribbean coasts, you should consider taking a course of tablets.
The recommended prophylactic is chloroquine (inexpensive, available without prescription and safe in pregnancy); you'll need to begin taking the pills a week before you enter an area where there's a risk of malaria and continue for four weeks after you return. Malarone is an alternative drug, which you need start only two days before you go, though it's not suitable for pregnant women or babies.
Whichever anti-malarial you choose, you should still take precautions to avoid getting bitten by insects: always sleep in screened rooms or under nets in lowland areas; burn mosquito coils; cover up arms and legs, especially around dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active; and apply insect repellent (with 25–50 percent DEET; but not to children under 2).
Also prevalent in some lowland areas (usually occurring in epidemic outbreaks in urban areas), dengue fever is a viral infection transmitted by mosquitoes, which are active during the day. Fever, aches and joint pain (its old name was "break-bone fever") are often followed by a rash. Though most people make a full recovery after a few days, children are particularly at risk. There is no vaccine or specific treatment, so you need to pay great attention to avoiding bites.
Intestinal troubles
Despite all the dire warnings given here, a bout of diarrhoea is the medical problem you're most likely to encounter. Its main cause is simply the change of diet: the food in the region contains a whole new set of bacteria, and perhaps rather more of them than you're used to. If you're struck down, take it easy for a day or two, drink lots of bottled water and eat only the blandest of foods – papaya is good for soothing the stomach and is crammed with vitamins. Only if the symptoms last more than four or five days do you need to worry. Finally, if you're taking oral contraception or any other orally administered drugs, bear in mind that severe diarrhoea can reduce their efficacy.
Cholera is an acute bacterial infection, recognizable by watery diarrhoea and vomiting. However, risk of infection is extremely low in Guatemala (and symptoms are rapidly relieved by prompt medical attention and clean water). If you're spending any time in rural areas you also run the risk of picking up various parasitic infections: protozoa – amoeba and giardia – and intestinal worms; these are quite common around Lago de Atitlán. These sound hideous, but once detected they're easily treated with antibiotics. If you suspect you may have an infestation, take a stool sample to a good pathology lab and go to a doctor or pharmacist with the test results (see Heat and altitude problems).
More serious is amoebic dysentery, which is endemic in many parts of the region. The symptoms are similar to a bad dose of diarrhoea but include bleeding too. On the whole, a course of flagyl (metronidazole) will cure it.
Bites and stings
Taking steps to avoid getting bitten by insects, particularly mosquitoes, is always good practice. Ticks, which you're likely to pick up if you're walking or riding in areas with domestic livestock (and sometimes in forests), need careful removal with tweezers. Head or body lice can be picked up from people or bedding, and are best treated with medicated shampoo; very occasionally, they may spread typhus, characterized by fever, muscle aches, headaches and eventually a measles-like rash. If you think you have it, seek treatment from a doctor.
Scorpions are common; mostly nocturnal, they hide during the heat of the day – often in thatched roofs. If you're camping, or sleeping under a thatched roof, shake your shoes out before putting them on and try not to wander round barefoot. Their sting is painful (rarely fatal) and can become infected, so you should seek medical treatment if the pain seems significantly worse than a bee sting. You're less likely to be bitten by a spider, but seek medical treatment if the pain persists or increases.
You're unlikely to see a snake, and most are harmless in any case. Wearing boots and long trousers will go a long way towards preventing a bite – tread heavily and they will usually slither away. If you do get bitten, remember what the snake looked like (kill it if you can), immobilize the bitten limb and seek medical help immediately; antivenins are available in most main hospitals.
Swimming and snorkelling might bring you into contact with potentially dangerous or venomous sea creatures. If you are stung by a jellyfish, clean the wound with vinegar or iodine.
Finally, rabies is present, but rare in Guatemala. The best advice is to give dogs a wide berth and not to play with animals at all. Treat any bite as suspect: wash any wound immediately with soap or detergent and apply alcohol or iodine if possible. Act immediately to get treatment – rabies can be fatal once symptoms appear. There is a vaccine, but it is expensive, serves only to shorten the course of treatment you need anyway and is effective for no more than three months.
Heat and altitude problems
Two other common causes of illness are altitude and the sun. The best advice in both cases is to take it easy; allow yourself time to acclimatize before you race up a volcano, and build up exposure to the sun gradually. If going to altitudes above 2700m, you may develop symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), such as breathlessness, headaches, dizziness, nausea and appetite loss. More extreme cases might cause vomiting, disorientation, loss of balance and coughing up of pink frothy phlegm. The simple cure – a slow descent – almost always brings immediate recovery.
Tolerance to the sun, too, takes a while to build up. Use a strong sunscreen and, if you're walking during the day, wear a hat and try to keep in the shade. Avoid dehydration by drinking plenty of water or fruit juice. The most serious result of overheating is heatstroke, which can be potentially fatal. Lowering the body temperature (by taking a tepid shower, for example) is the first step in treatment.
Getting medical help
For minor medical problems, head for a farmacia – look for the green cross – there's one in every town and most villages. Pharmacists are knowledgeable and helpful, and many speak some English. They can also sell drugs over the counter that are only available on prescription at home. Every capital city has doctors and dentists, many trained in the US, who speak good English. Your embassy will always have a list of recommended doctors.
Health insurance is essential and for anything serious you should go to the best private hospital you can reach. If you suspect something is amiss with your insides, it might be worth heading straight for the local pathology lab before seeing a doctor. Many rural communities have a health centre (centro de salud or puesto de salud), where health care is free, although there may only be a nurse or health worker available and you can't rely on finding anyone who speaks English. Should you need an injection or transfusion, make sure that the equipment is sterile (it might be worth bringing a sterile kit from home) and ensure any blood you receive is screened.

According to sources familiar with Apple's upcoming iOS 6 mobile software offering, the company's three major digital stores will see design overhauls. The overhauls are said to be major and they focus on improved interactivity when making purchases in iTunes, the App Store, and the iBookstore. Social is a big piece of the store overhauls, and Facebook integration is being tested in the iTunes Store portion, at least.Apple is still planning to roll out complementary store redesigns for computers later this year.

What is the difference between regular Bluegill and Hybrid Bluegill?
Dan – Toldeo, OH
Ask any thoroughbred Bluegill, and they'll tell you there's a huge difference. But the truth is, a Hybrid Bluegill is simply a cross between a Male Bluegill and a Female Sunfish. As it turns out, that combination produces a population that's between 80% and 90% male.
There are effects of a predominantly male population. First – and most important – it slows down reproduction, which in turn prevents overpopulation. If left to their own devices, regular, non-hybrid Bluegills reproduce very quickly. Left unchecked, this means overcrowding – and all the negative ramifications that come with it. Also, with a predominantly male population, there's also a natural tendency for fish not to ask directions. Fortunately, in a small, backyard pond, there's really nowhere to get lost.
There are, however, some drawbacks to stocking your pond with hybrid Bluegills alone. Because reproduction is slower, natural cycles and predator fish may result in dwindling fish populations over time. In those situations, restocking with additional Bluegills and/or other feeder fish like minnows may be required every few years.
But for many ponds, hybrid Bluegills are an exceptional choice. Once they arrive, however, it's important to make them feel welcome. We strongly recommend the use of Game Fish Food to satisfy hearty appetites. And for both predator protection and shade from the summer sun, our Fish Attractor Spheres are the perfect complement to your pond's natural habitat.

RDC's Posner: "Europe needs cooperation as much as it needs competition"Written by William C. Vantuono, Editor-in-Chief
Posner was one of several railway experts from around the world who took part in a roundtable discussion addressing the importance of rail for ecologically sound, sustainable mobility.
RDC, based in Pittsburgh, Pa., in addition to its U.S. property, Iowa Interstate, operates freight and passenger railways in Latin America (Colombia, Peru) and Europe (Germany, France). Earlier, RDC operated railways in Estonia, Malawi, Mozambique, Argentina, and Guatemala. "Contrary to European thinking, [U.S.] freight rail traffic has a long history of success," Posner said. "Being no stranger to environments of institutional resistance and perverse economics, Europe is nonetheless an extreme case for us."
What Posner finds in Europe is that "many railways are and operate like states within states. This is much different from the North American situation, where railways are culturally diverse and, though sometimes arrogant, do not enjoy the support of the State in that arrogance."
"In Europe, railways tend to work against each other and against both competition and cooperation," Posner stated. Giving OFPs (Operateurs de Fret de Proximite, or freight rail feeder operations similar to North American short lines) as an example, he said, "SWL (single wagonload) is a network business at the national and European levels. Thus, cooperation—and not competition—is necessary between network operators and OFPs in order to secure customer commitments. In addition, having small, creative companies in a market brings in alternative thinking and innovative ideas with positive results not only for customers but for all operators.
"Additionally, the behavior of European railways is less than understandable, as easy intermodal cooperation–in addition to competition–would strengthen the rail system. Instead, many European states prefer an underfinanced rail system with one national quasi-monopolist operator and thus are missing out on building up an attractive alternative to road and air transport."
Posner urged the European Commission to continue to build, on the European Union level, a single European railway area "to foster European competitiveness and growth. We support the Commission's struggle to succeed. We need more competition in and for rail in Europe, a level playing field for all players, for new endeavors and ideas. To achieve this, we need the 4th railway package in the version that was voted for by the Committee on Transport and Tourism (TRAN) of the European Commission before Christmas 2013, including more regulations and—for vertically integrated incumbents—strong 'Chinese walls.' To accept the current version of the package would be fatal, since it would take the European railway market several steps backward, instead of toward lively and fruitful competition with significant advantages for people, business, and environment."
In Germany, RDC is the major shareholder of Hamburg‐Köln‐Express GmbH (HKX), the first private railway company in Germany that exclusively supplies long‐distance passenger rail services. When setting up its services, HKX "experienced a whole range of obstacles, most of them caused by regulations that favored the German incumbent Deutsche Bahn or by the rules due to the setup of Deutsche Bahn as a vertically integrated, national railway system," Posner said. "Some examples: Framework agreements for track access can only be made every five years; track access fees are exorbitantly high compared to other countries and, equally important, other modes of transportation; fees raised for stops in train stations are not plausible and transparent, and lack price stability; competitors have no access to tariffs and sales distribution channels since these are owned by Deutsche Bahn—now the federal cartel authority is looking into this; and traction current is supposed to be subject to higher state contributions under the Renewable Energies Act (EEG)."
In France, RDC is a joint venture partner with Belgian rail-based forwarder EuroRail in RegioRail the largest operator of OFPs in France. "This was only possible after Fret (Freight) SNCF instituted a policy of consolidation and accordingly decreased its presence in SWL, which, though the highest cost, is also the highest-value segment of the market, and quite sensible to pursue if shifting the modal split in transport toward rails is a common goal," Posner noted. "But it took six years and many false starts, as well as finding the right European partner, before RDC's wagonload freight initiative finally took root. Examples for old and new obstacles: There is no stable agreement with the incumbents as to share capacity and risks in long-haul trains; meanwhile, the incumbents are fighting to pick back traffic once discontinued and then saved by OFPs."
"Europe needs cooperation as much as it needs competition in the rail sector," Posner concluded. "These are basic institutional solutions. By comparison, political solutions are both a waste of resources and a distraction."

In my life, I have attended exactly 50 Dave Matthews Band concerts, yes fifty. I only saw them once last year in 2011, and that was just an acoustic Dave & Tim show in Charlottesville VA. I've decided that I will attend six concerts in 2012. I'm likely headed to see DMB at Cuyahoga Falls in after ballhawking a Twins vs Indians afternoon Sunday game. The game begins at 3:05, so I'll probably get to stay and watch some of this game before heading south to Cuyahoga Falls for DMB. It's only 39 minutes away, and DMB doesn't take the stage until 8:15, so I'll have plenty of time to get there. The last time I was at Cuyahoga Falls was in 2009:
Then, I'll likely head to see DMB at Starlake, I mean, Post Gazette Pavilion, wait, I mean First Niagara Pavilion in Burgettstown, which is south of Pittsburgh. Every time I get used to the venue name, they change it. I've seen the most concerts (14) of the fifty there. The last time I was there, I saw the Mayor, Sean Casey:
He was pretty drunk and kept high fiving me every time he went to the bathroom, but it was pretty cool to have an MLB player right in front of you when you're not expecting it. He was really into the concert too.
The icing on the cake will be heading to the Gorge for a second time. The plane tickets are booked. While there, I will try and ballhawk one, maybe two games at Safeco Field in Seattle. The last time I was there was 2010.
It's probably the most beautiful peaceful place that I've been to.
Here's a video I shot of the amphitheatre when I was there in 2010:
I usually go to lots of Dave Matthews Band concerts every summer, and after taking last summer off, I can't wait to get back to a few shows. I love that Dave Matthews Band doesn't play the same set every night. You never know when they're going to pull out a song that they haven't played in years.
In the fifty shows I've been to, I've seen 159 different songs played, 929 total songs played, and been to 19 different venues.
I'll get back to baseball talk tomorrow.
Until then, remember,
50 days until opening day, 3 days until pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training, and 4 days left to win this Dustin Pedroia T-Shirt.

2010 world champion Aliya Mustafina won the uneven bars title Saturday as competition continued at the Russian Cup in Penza.
Mustafina hit a 7.0-Difficulty routine for an outstanding 16.150 to take the gold medal over Anastasia Grishina (15.450/6.5D). Overall champion Viktoria Komova, who scored 16.20 in Friday's all-around final, fell on her new double full-out dismount but still won the bronze (15.100/7.0D).
Two-time Olympian Anna Pavlova won the vault gold medal over Tatiana Nabiyeva and Anna Myzdrikova. Pavlova still has not restored the Amanar vault she competed at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, making her a long shot for a third Olympic Games.
Nikita Ignatyev, who finished fifth in the men's all-around final, remains in the Olympic mix with gold medals on floor exercise and high bar. Penza's own Denis Ablyazin, the top qualifier to the floor final, tumbled the most difficulty routine in the world (7.1 D) but fell to place fifth.
All-around champion David Belyavsky picked up a complete set of medals with the gold on pommel horse, silver on high bar and bronze on floor exercise. All-around silver medalist Sergei Khorokhordin earned the silver on floor exercise and bronze on high bar, while all-around bronze medalist Igor Pakhomenko was third on pommel horse.
Head coach Andrei Rodionenko announced that Ablyazin, Alexander Balandin and Emin Garibov have already secured spots on Russia's Olympic team based on their medal-winning performances at May's European championships. Belyavsky's strong performance in Penza should guarantee him a berth, leaving Khorokhordin, Ignatyev and Pakhomenko as the leading contenders for the final ticket to London.
Competition continues Saturday with the first day of apparatus finals.

IBM Lotus Notes does not have a native 64bit package to date. This article will discuss the installation of Lotus Notes on 64 bit Arch Linux inside a 32bit chroot environment. This method will use the rpm versions of the Notes packages; .deb files are available but the author has not tried them.
- 1 Introduction
- 2 Obtaining Lotus Notes and FixPacks
- 3 Create 32bit Chroot (x86_64)
- 4 Installing Dependencies
- 5 Installing Lotus Notes
- 6 Post Install
Lotus Notes is an email, calendaring, todo, notetaking, and collaboration application developed by IBM. It is used most commonly in corporate settings as it contains fairly powerful features that surpass those offered by more traditional email/calendar applications like Outlook or Thunderbird. Specifically, Lotus Notes features database functionality that allows for the storage of user input from various forms (e.g. surveys). While the email and scheduling functionality is quite similar to that of other applications in this family, the database functionality is difficult to understand without firsthand use.
For those who use Linux in a corporate setting in which Lotus Notes is the default client, installation of this application is a necessity. While this is trivial on 32bit systems (such as Arch 686), Lotus Notes has not yet been released for 64bit Linux. As this is the case, those using Arch64 will need to install Notes inside a 32bit chroot. It may be possible to use a multi-lib setup, but the author of this article has no experience with that method and from his reading considers the chroot environment to be cleaner and simpler (easier to start over or remove altogether if functionality is no longer needed).
Obtaining Lotus Notes and FixPacks
You will at least need a Lotus Notes rpm package. The FixPacks that IBM releases are also recommended. The main author of this entry has experience with Notes 8.0 and 8.5[.1 and .2] on 64bit Arch.
- For Lotus Notes Client and not for Domino. Notes is the email/calendar client; Domino is the server application
- For Linux (obvious) for rpm install (not deb)
Obtaining Lotus Notes
- If you have a corporate ID with IBM, you may use the IBM Lotus Notes site for official download
- Optionally, visit the IBM Lotus Notes Trials site for free trial versions that expire after 90 days
- You may also contact your company administrator for a copy of Lotus Notes for Linux
The trials provided change frequently. For example, as of 10-21-2010, trials of both 8.5 and 8.5.2 were available. As of 03-07-2011, only 8.5.2 is available. Check the Lotus Notes trials page frequently:
Downloading FixPacks
- Visit the IBM Fix Central site to find FixPacks
- Input Product Group=Lotus, Product=Lotus Notes, the version you have, and Platform=Linux for the four fields
- At the next page click Continue at the bottom of the page to see all possible FixPacks
- Download the correct one
If you are using Lotus Notes 8.5.1, there is a dedicated page for incremental FixPack installers. There are currently 5 FixPacks released (as of 03-07-20110. Just download Notes_851FP5_Standard_RPMInstall_Linux (5th FixPack, rpm format for Linux) since each FixPack encompasses the previous versions. The page for the 8.5.2 fixpack is here.
Create 32bit Chroot (x86_64)
If using i686, skip to #Installing Dependencies
The Arch Wiki already has a fantastic article on creating a 32bit chroot environment on a 64bit system: Install_bundled_32-bit_system_in_Arch64. Use the instructions there to do the following:
- Create /opt/arch32, setup pacamn, and sync
- Install base and base-devel
- Create the arch32 daemon script
- Link/copy the necessary files in /etc from the 64bit system to the chroot
- Start the daemon
Important steps to remember
Having been through this process many, many times, there are some steps that are quite common to forget. Please remember to:
- run the xhost command after starting the daemon:
xhost +SI:localuser:usernametogiveaccesstogoeshere
- chroot into /opt/arch32 with:
# linux32 chroot /opt/arch32
- edit your /etc/pacman.conf (from the chroot; the actual location is /opt/arch32/etc/pacman.conf)
- uncomment at least one mirror
- also, edit the line at the top of /etc/pacman.conf from:
Architecture = auto
Architecture = i686
- Be sure to uncomment a mirror in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist as well
- sync pacman to ensure that everything is working properly:
# pacman -Syy
- lastly, run this to generate your locale files:
# locale-gen
Installing Dependencies
IBM has published a list of System Requirements as well as a list of Linux Packages that are required to run Lotus Notes. When attempting to install an rpm on a non-rpm based distro, rpm will also complain about missing packages if the --nodeps option is not provided. IBM's list and the errors from an rpm attempt were used by the author of this article (by repeatedly running 'pacman -Qo filename') to painstakingly generate a minimum list of packages that would pull in all of the Lotus Notes dependencies. The list below are the "top level" packages, and will pull all the rest along with them. Run this from the chroot:
# pacman -S gdb tcsh libart-lgpl alsa-lib atk libbonobo libbonoboui gconf gtk2 libgnome libgnomecanvas libgnomeprint \ libgnomeprintui libgnomeui gvfs libice libjpeg orbit2 pango libpng libsm libx11 libxcursor libxext libxft libxi libxkbfile libxml2 \ libxrender libxss libxt libxtst font-bh-ttf audiofile esound gnome-menus libgail-gnome startup-notification gnome-desktop \ gtk-xfce-engine xterm
Installing Lotus Notes
While still in the chroot environment, do the following:
- unpack the tar file you downloaded (fictional file name, use whatever you have):
$ tar -xvf /path/to/ibm_lotus_notes-8.5.2.tar
This should unpack the following:
- ibm_lotus_activities-8.5.2.i586.rpm
- ibm_lotus_cae-8.5.2.i586.rpm
- ibm_lotus_feedreader-8.5.2.i586.rpm
- ibm_lotus_notes-8.5.2.i586.rpm
- ibm_lotus_sametime-8.5.2.i586.rpm
- ibm_lotus_symphony-8.5.2.i586.rpm
- license.tar
- pub_ibm_lotus_notes.gpg
- smartupgrade.sh
Ensure that your archive package is accessible from within your 32-bit chrooted environment. If you followed all the instructions in the previous document about creating a 32-bit environment within arch, particularly up to linking file/folders, a link to your home folder will exist in the /opt/arch32 folder. If you downloaded lotus notes off of a website in the 64-bit environment, there is a good chance it will exist in your download folder within your home folder in the 32-bit environment as well.
Now install the lotus notes RPM using the following command (Note: You may need to have rpm-org installed from the AUR):
# rpm -ivh --nodeps ibm_lotus_notes-8.5.2.i586.rpm
When that completes, you may install any fixpacks with:
# rpm --ivh --nodeps ibm_lotus_notes_fixpack-8.5.2.i586.rpm
Now run Lotus Notes for the first time with:
$ /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/notes
Note: To run the above command, you must not be root. If you installed as root, switch back to your user account with:
# su username
A splash screen should appear, shortly followed by an xterm window asking you to accept the license agreement. Type "1" (the digit, one) and then press enter. Lotus Notes should prompt its configuration screen and ask you for your name, server, user.id file, etc. When this completes, it will bring you to the Lotus Notes interface and you can revel in your accomplishment!
You can repeat the above process with any of the other RPM files included in the bundle if you would like as well (sametime, symphony, cae, activities, etc.). Perhaps archive the original tar file somewhere in case you need it again, and then delete the unpacked files you do not need/want.
Creating a shortcut
Now it is not unlikely that you will quickly get tired of monotonously using chroot and entering a long path every time you want to start notes. Fortunately, creating a seamless shortcut in your 64-bit environment is easy.
If you installed schroot, as mentioned in the article about creating a 32-bit environment within arch, you can place an extensionless shell script titled 'notes' into /usr/bin containing the following:
schroot -- /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/notes
Ensure that you are listed as one of the users who can use schroot at the bottom of the /etc/schroot/schroot.conf file by uncommenting and adding your username to the 'Users' segment.
You should now be able to start notes by typing 'notes' and hitting enter in the terminal.
Installing on a 32bit System
I'm not sure why this is even covered because it's so simple, but just to have a mention of this somewhere in the Arch Wiki, just follow the procedure above for installation of the rpms. The additional reference this should provide is a list of required packages above, which I have not seen elsewhere. Hopefully this helps. The next section on troubleshooting should help as well.
Additional Steps on 8.5[.1]
If you are running 8.5 or 8.5.1, you may need to replace some libraries. This was mentioned several times in the IBM Developer forums in Ubuntu how-tos. One site that references it, along with two sources for these libraries is here
- Errors from schroot: A recent upgrade to schroot and related packages has caused this setup in its current configuration to fail upon launching lotus notes. At the moment it is unknown how to properly configure the newer version of schroot, so it's recommended you use a program like downgrade to downgrade the following packages to the specified versions:
boost (1.47.0-3) boost-libs (1.47.0-3) schroot (1.4.23-1)
If you do not have these packages cached, then you should look around online in a mirror archive for these particular versions.
To prevent pacman from automatically updating them again, add the following to your /etc/pacman.conf:
IgnorePkg = boost-libs boost schroot
- Notes on Gnome 3 Compatibility: Recently, gtk and Gnome related libraries underwent a transition to version 3. This caused a severe breakage in Lotus Notes. Reverting to gtk2/Gnome 2 libraries fixed things temporarily. A post was made to the IBM Notes community which suggested the fix presented on this blog. In summary, the fix suggests the following:
- Download tar.gz from https://github.com/sgh/lotus-notes_gtk2.23.3 and extract
- Edit the Makefile, inserting -m32 so that it reads: "gcc -Wall -Wextra -m32 `pkg-config..."
- Compile by running "make"
- Copy both libnotesgtkfix.so and notes-wrapper to /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/
- From now on, to start Lotus Notes, run /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/notes-wrapper (instead of /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/notes, as before)
- Recently on a fresh install of Arch and a fresh chroot, I could not get Lotus Notes even put up the xterm window for license acceptance, and in looking at the logs in ~/lotus/notes/data/workspace/logs noticed the error-log was complaining about the file in /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/framework/rcp/plugin_customization.ini. The error was about proper permissions. I chmodded did the following:
# chmod 755 /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/framework/rcp/plugin_customization.ini # chown username:users /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/framework/rcp/plugin_customization.ini
- Typically, after the license agreement step, Lotus Notes immediately brings up the configuration setup process. The last time I installed 8.5.2 from a scratch system/chroot, however, this was not happening. I got a license agreement page but nothing else. In looking at the output of top, the notes2 process would just vanish. In a fluke attempt, I just ran /opt/ibm/lotues/notes again... and it went right to the configuration process. I had several additional packages installed, but wiped out ~/lotus, removed them all, and re-tried and can reproduce the behavior. If you got a license agreement but nothing more, perhaps try to run Notes again.
- In my last fresh install, I had issues using rpm on the 8.5.2 fixpack as well as with trying to remove Lotus Notes 8.5.2 (not that you'd want to, but I wanted to know why the fixpack was not working). I received errors like this for the fixpack:
%pre scriptlet failed error status: 85
and when trying to remove Lotus Notes with 'rpm -ev --nodeps pkd' I got:
glibc detected **Double Linked List**
For some reason, using the aur package rpm-org worked perfectly for both installation and trial removal of Lotus Notes 8.5.2, and installation of the 8.5.2 fixpack. While perhaps not the "best" method, to clean up everything after uninstalling rpm and installing rpm-org, I ran (from the chroot):
# pacman -Rsc rpm # rm -r /var/lib/rpm # rm -r /opt/ibm
Then I proceeded to install rpm-org with yaourt and repeated the steps above to install Lotus Notes and the fixpack.
Post Install
- Fonts: As included above in the dependencies list, make sure you have the font-bh-ttf package installed. One user has reported that this was still producing ugly fonts. He has since confirmed that installing the ttf-ms-fonts package fixed this issue.
- Theme/Icons: Your default icons and theme may not look right. Copy over your applicable folders from /usr/share/themes and /usr/share/icons and configure your chroot environment with those same themes/icons. I have noticed that even if Notes uses my proper cursor icon, it changes to an ugly basic one on certain links/buttons and am not sure how to fix this.
- Mail Preview Pane Glitch: In either 8.5 or 8.5.1, I had issues with the mail preview pane locking up or creating multiple adjustment bars. I believe setting the option "Disable embedded browser for MIME email" was what fixed this issue.

There's only one Lindsay in the world, or so cries the redhead-turned-blonde tabloid-friendly starlet Lindsay Lohan.
The often troubled party girl and one-time fashion flop is suing E-Trade over one of its Super Bowl commercials featuring the famous talking baby.
In the ad, the aforementioned famous "insufferable brat" (the baby, not LiLo) is talking to a jealous gal pal who accuses him of hanging out with a "milkaholic" named "Lindsay."
The, um, real Lindsay says the she-baby was modeled after her so she wants $100 million for her pain and suffering, according to The New York Post.
The star-crossed actress filed a lawsuit Monday in Nassau County Supreme Court, and Lindsay's lawyer, in a bizarre attempt to elevate his client to the Hollywood pedestals occupied by the likes of Madonna and Oprah, blasted E-Trade for mocking her life.
"Many celebrities are known by one name only, and E-Trade is using that knowledge to profit," attorney Stephanie Ovadia told the Post.
"They used the name Lindsay. Why didn't they use the name Susan?" she added. "This is a subliminal message. Everybody's talking about it and saying it's Lindsay Lohan."
In the ad, the talking baby boy apologizes to his girlfriend on video chat for not calling her the evening before. The steamed baby girlfriend then skeptically inquires, "And that milkaholic Lindsay wasn't over?"
"Lindsay?" the baby boy responds, just as a baby girl in the room pops her head into the frame and says, with slurred speech, "Milk-a-what?"
Lindsay (the "adult") is notorious for getting out of control at times, after which she may or may not spend a brief time in rehab. Her attorney wants an injunction to pull all the spots off the air, and Team Lindsay wants every last copy, reports the Post.
{Fortunately, there's always YouTube. Watch the ad below.)
A spokesman for Grey Group, which produced the commercial, told the paper that the spot "just used a popular baby name that happened to be the name of someone on the account team."
Nonetheless, Ovadia says E-Trade violated Lindsay's civil rights under New York State law by using her "name and characterization" in business without giving her money or getting her permission. Since the spot was seen by millions during the Super Bowl and Winter Olympics finals, the attorney says Lindsay is entitled to $50 million in exemplary damages and another $50 million in compensatory damages, reports the Post.
E-Trade couldn't be reached for comment.

FARMINGTON — Greetings and a good day to all of our readers, supporters and members of the Veterans Organizations that meet in the small brick building with the big heart at 526 Main St.
This past week has been our ham and bean supper, the American Legion, the American Legion Auxiliary meetings, the Carlton Woman's Relief Corps meeting and our trip to Tilton for bingo and refreshments with the residents at the New Hampshire Soldiers Home.
Sunday, Nov. 11 is Veterans' Day and we will be holding our Annual Veterans' Day Dinner with the doors opening at 3 p.m. and a complete Corned Beef Dinner will be served free of charge to our Farmington Veterans at 5 p.m.
Now before the meal can be served we are expecting our men force from our veterans groups to show with sharpened knives and peelers at 9 a.m., to peel, slice and dice the many vegetables that need to be prepared for this annual event.
The tables will be set up at 10 a.m., and all will be ready to have those that attend ready for that evening's program and dinner, again remember that the dinner is served at 5 p.m. and is free to all of our Farmington, veterans and spouses who wish to attend. You do not need to be a member of our veterans group, but are encouraged to attend and let us say thank you for what you have done, by serving in our armed forces.
This is a great time of fellowship and friendship as many of our veterans who are unable to regularly attend meetings make an effort to enjoy this wonderful corned beef dinner.
The following week will be our Disabled American Veterans and Auxiliary meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 13, again at 7 p.m.
If you haven't purchased your tickets for the complete turkey dinner raffle do so now as chances are only three for $1 and they are available through most of the active membership (you don't need to be present to win with this raffle). If you haven't received yours yet, come to the actual Turkey Raffle night on the Friday before Thanksgiving, Nov. 16 and Commander Gary Mosher is working hard to make this another successful evening of fun with turkeys won by the wide age group that attend this event. There is no age requirement on winning the turkeys and anyone who attends has a chance to win the door prize.
There is always something happening at our hall and volunteers are always needed, so if you're sitting home bored this might answer your question of what shall I do now? Not only will you find that life is more enjoyable when you do something that can help someone out, but you will actually feel better about yourself and why you're tired (because you worked hard in helping an organization in need)
With the holidays fast approaching, keep our military families in your heart and prayers. Do what you can to help them with the daily things that can be difficult when a loved one is not home. God bless you all and take care.

FARMINGTON — Greetings and a good day to all of our readers, supporters and members of the Veterans Organizations that meet in the small brick building with the big heart at 526 Main St.

Thirty Greenpeace activists entered the Borssele nuclear power plant in Zeeland, Netherlands. On top of the nuclear reactor, a crack has been painted to demonstrate the fact that the power plant is old and not safe and should be closed by 2013, as agreed previously. The Dutch government is reconsidering to keep the nuclear plant open after 2013.

Portion size affects how long food tastes good
If you want your meal to taste good until the last bite, better keep your portions small.
New Stanford research reveals people usually like the first bite of a food best. Each bite after that seems a little less tasty. But the last bite is the one we remember most, and the one that will determine how long we'll want to wait to try the food again, researchers said.
Oh, and if you eat until you're full, you probably won't be in a hurry to eat that food again. By the last few bites, the researchers said, you may be sick of the food, and that feeling will leave an impression. So, if you like what you're eating, it might be best to stop while you're ahead.
"People have a tendency to overindulge in foods they enjoy, not realizing the effect," Baba Shiv, the study's author and a professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, said in a statement. "This is the argument for moderation, if we needed one. You actually take more pleasure in it."
The authors, who published their work in the journal Psychological Science, say there's a lesson here for picky eaters, too. If you try to plow through a whole serving of a dreaded food, you'll get more disgusted with each bite. Instead, try a few bites at a time and space them out with other foods.
The research was done jointly by Stanford and Boston University scientists, who conducted a series of experiments with different portions of food or drink.

Without audio description, 357,000 Australians are excluded from a world of social interactions that are continuously evolving around a plethora of drama, comedy and romance; from a pop culture language that stems from fictional characters glorified in sweeping epics like Games of Thrones and a multitude of other popular series.
The limitation of the Australian separation of religious language and symbols from those of the secular culture is that it leaves one poorly resourced for translation. The encounter of cultures is avoided in the interests of tolerance. Tolerance avoids bullying but can also discourage personal engagement in others' worlds.
When Jacinda Ardern uttered the words 'They are Us' in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in Christchurch, a powerful vision hovered over the impending debates on the meaning of what had happened. Something hitherto invisible came into view and was repudiated: a conceptual structure underlying the operations of social power.
An enduring memory of the 2016 Brexit campaign was the claim by pro-leavers that the EU was extracting some £350 million a week. The claim, ignoring EU subsidies, returns and contributions to Britain, was so outrageously proud and inaccurate, it stuck. Which leads us to a novel citizen's experiment on the issue of lying in politics.
The events of 4 June 1989 in Beijing were horrific, but then prime minister Hawke's leadership and the skills, passion and sacrifice of the generation of Chinese that stayed in Australia in Tiananmen Square's aftermath have consequently made Australia a more vibrant society.
When Melburnian Courtney Herron was murdered, the topic of male violence started trending. In one of the most incisive comments on what is an all-too-frequent occurrence, Victoria's Police Commissioner Luke Cornelius said it was time for men to start taking responsibility for the violence. Men — not all men, but many — took umbrage.
Almost two years have passed since the youth justice royal commission prompted by the abuses at Darwin's Don Dale youth detention facility. Yet many of its recommendations remain unrealised, largely due to a lack of federal funding support. In the meantime, youth justice has remained at the crossroads in many parts of Australia.
There's a lot of work to be done to ensure the Australian government has the best guidance it needs to prepare the policies and deliver the services Australians urgently need. To strengthen ourselves into making that contribution, let's begin by rejecting 'brutal retail politics' and instead champion generous community expertise.
Architecture is not my strong suit, but I admire the beauty of walls and ceilings, the decorations, and the idiosyncrasies such as little sculptures invisible to congregations and visitors, but made in faith that God could see them. The history, the thought of generations of worshippers, the numerous associations: these are other things that fascinate.
At 4am on a cold morning, my brother phoned from the hospital. My final conversation with my mother, while harrowing, was not unexpected. My attempts to thank her for who she was and what she had given to me did not suffice. Mother Merle was in a hurry to leave this life, and the cancer that had drained her strength. She was over it.
The church has something in common with both sides of politics because the Catholic community has a split political personality. Its range of concerns is so broad that they are addressed in various ways by different political parties. It wants to make an impact on government, but it is always highly unlikely that it can have it all.
There's a lot to say about the election, and much nonsense doing the rounds. Here's a summary of what went wrong and some ideas for communicating climate change over the next three years. The first thing to note is that the election probably wasn't won or lost on climate.
Researchers have been documenting the rise of 'eco-anxiety' or 'eco-angst' for some time, and these feelings of despair and powerlessness are common. But we need to become the heroes of this dystopic film plot. Somehow, in the face of all our anxiety and despair, we need to locate our capacity for hope and our courage to take action.
'We are the joy, the sadness, the anger and the peace.'
