Getting Viler on the Audience
1 comment :
Interesting: I'm using the book as a literature source for my inquiry project, and it was useful for me to read about theories on audience. I didn't like the focus on immersive theatre, as there was a 2009 survey that indicated most 'regular theatre-goers' still prefer the traditional viewing experience, yet there has been a huge rise in immersive and interactive theatre experiences. Is this a shift away from the proposed "idolatry of the artist"? Giving the audience more responsibility for both their experience and the outcome?ReplyDelete
I would also suggest that the role of the audience has changed with the advent of social media - how many audience members are mentally composing tweets or status updates, or even (heaven forbid!) blog posts with their own personal criticisms of the production? :P Does this make the role of a genuine critic more or less valid? If everyone and their mums are sharing their opinions for anyone to access, are their 'untrained' opinions carry more unbiased weight than the voice of someone with experience and subjective views, as the book claims?

Did you know that?
Also posted at Vaccine Central
- Measles is one of the leading causes of death for children around the world.
- In the year 2000 only 72% of children worldwide had received the first dose (of two) by their first birthday
- In the year 2000 an estimated 733,000 people died of measles worldwide
- In the year 2008 about 83% of children worldwide had received the first dose of measles vaccine by their first birthday
- In the year 2008 an estimated 164,000 people died of measles worldwide, a net gain of over 550,000 lives from 2000
- As high as 10% of measles cases result in death among populations with high levels of malnutrition and a lack of adequate health care.
- More than 10,000,000 people are affected by measles every year
- 1-2 out of every 1,000 children that get measles will die
- Measles can make a pregnant woman have a miscarriage or give birth prematurely
- There are people who claim measles is not a big deal and "natural immunity" via actually getting the disease is to be preferred to vaccinations. Really? When was the last time the measles vaccine caused 733,000 deaths?
Measles claims almost 200 in Africa
In less than three months, a measles outbreak in Africa has killed 185 children . the UN is asking for help to increase vaccination efforts in the affected areas. As it stands, only about 80% of the population is vaccinated, quite below the desired level of 95%. These low levels of vaccination means that outbreaks, such as the one gripping the continent now, can be expected every 3-4 years. I send Jenny McCarthy a tweet pointing her attention to this issue and asking her to change her stance on vaccines. Do you think this story will change her mind at all? …..we can only hope!
What's the harm in not vaccinating your child?
Well it's only one kid, the thinking goes. Isn't there something called "herd immunity" that is supposed to protect my child so he/she doesn't have to get stuck with a needle? I'll be slick; let everyone else's kid get STUCK WITH A NEEDLE and mine won't have to! Smart right? What's the harm anyway? Well, since you asked, how about infecting another 11 unvaccinated children, 3 or which were babies too young to have received the vaccine, one of which was hospitalized for three days with 106 degree fever? If that is not enough, how about $177,000 in taxpayer money spent in containing and treating this infection outbreak?
What began as a family trip to Switzerland in 2008 ended up as a public health nightmare in California.The family's 7-year-old boy, who was intentionally unvaccinated against measles, was exposed to the virus while traveling in Europe. When he returned home to San Diego, he unknowingly exposed a total of 839 people, and an additional 11 unvaccinated children contracted the disease.
Three of those infected were babies, too young to have yet received the measles vaccines, and one of the babies was hospitalized for three days with a 106-degree fever, according to a report to be published in the April issue of Pediatrics.
"Measles is just a plane ride away, including places like Switzerland and the U.K.," said one of the researchers, Dr. Jane Seward, deputy director of viral diseases at the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"This study serves as a reminder that measles can be a very serious disease that can lead to severe complications and death, and that the measles, mumps, rubella [MMR] vaccine is highly effective and the best way to prevent measles. It's also a reminder that people who choose not to vaccinate don't just put themselves and their children at risk, but also their communities, which includes infants who are too young to immunize," she said.
This 2008 outbreak was the first in San Diego since 1991, according to the report. Before the introduction of the measles vaccine in 1963, as many as 500 children died each year from the measles, and nearly 50,000 were hospitalized annually in the United States because of the virus, according to background information in the report.
In recent years, however, the virus has resurged as many parents choose not to vaccinate their children, often because of fears about serious side effects. In fact, a recent study from the University of Michigan found that even among those who do vaccinate, more than half are concerned about serious side effects. Many of these fears stem a reported link between the MMR vaccine and autism. This link has been disproved in numerous studies, however.
Folks, stop being kids and vaccinate your kids!
Measles kills the unvaccinated in Zimbabwe
CNN reports that 22 people, most of them children, have died of measles in Zimbabwe.
WHO's head in Zimbabwe, Dr. Custodia Mandlhate, told journalists in Harare the outbreak has totaled more than 340 suspected cases this year, and "this is not acceptable." She said the outbreak came about "mainly because of people who have denied their children vaccination."
She said that all of the 22 people who died were unvaccinated. Measles is a disease that can be easily prevented with the MMR vaccine. Since the MMR vaccine was introduced in the US, measles cases have gone down by 99%. According to the CDC website:
However, measles is still common in other countries. The virus is highly contagious and can spread rapidly in areas where vaccination is not widespread. It is estimated that in 2007 there were 197,000 measles deaths worldwide—that equals about 540 deaths every day or about 22 deaths every hour.
Thus, what has happened in Zimbabwe is not an isolated case. It happens worldwide every hour. There is a simple lesson in these stats. Vaccines save lives. Not vaccinating causes death, mommy instincts be damned!
An Epidemic of Fear: How Panicked Parents Skipping Shots Endangers Us All
Skepdude says – Excellent article! Loved every line of it. This should be mandatory reading for any skeptic!
To hear his enemies talk, you might think Paul Offit is the most hated man in America. A pediatrician in Philadelphia, he is the coinventor of a rotavirus vaccine that could save tens of thousands of lives every year. Yet environmental activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. slams Offit as a "biostitute" who whores for the pharmaceutical industry. Actor Jim Carrey calls him a profiteer and distills the doctor's attitude toward childhood vaccination down to this chilling mantra: "Grab 'em and stab 'em." Recently, Carrey and his girlfriend, Jenny McCarthy, went on CNN's Larry King Live and singled out Offit's vaccine, RotaTeq, as one of many unnecessary vaccines, all administered, they said, for just one reason: "Greed."
Thousands of people revile Offit publicly at rallies, on Web sites, and in books. Type pauloffit.com into your browser and you'll find not Offit's official site but an anti-Offit screed "dedicated to exposing the truth about the vaccine industry's most well-paid spokesperson." Go to Wikipedia to read his bio and, as often as not, someone will have tampered with the page. The section on Offit's education was once altered to say that he'd studied on a pig farm in Toad Suck, Arkansas. (He's a graduate of Tufts University and the University of Maryland School of Medicine).
Then there are the threats. Offit once got an email from a Seattle man that read, "I will hang you by your neck until you are dead!" Other bracing messages include "You have blood on your hands" and "Your day of reckoning will come." A few years ago, a man on the phone ominously told Offit he knew where the doctor's two children went to school. At a meeting of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an anti-vaccine protester emerged from a crowd of people holding signs that featured Offit's face emblazoned with the word terrorist and grabbed the unsuspecting, 6-foot-tall physician by the jacket.
"I don't think he wanted to hurt me," Offit recalls. "He was just excited to be close to the personification of such evil." Still, whenever Offit gets a letter with an unfamiliar return address, he holds the envelope at arm's length before gingerly tearing it open. "I think about it," he admits. "Anthrax."
So what has this award-winning 58-year-old scientist done to elicit such venom? He boldly states — in speeches, in journal articles, and in his 2008 book Autism's False Prophets — that vaccines do not cause autism or autoimmune disease or any of the other chronic conditions that have been blamed on them. He supports this assertion with meticulous evidence. And he calls to account those who promote bogus treatments for autism — treatments that he says not only don't work but often cause harm.
As a result, Offit has become the main target of a grassroots movement that opposes the systematic vaccination of children and the laws that require it. McCarthy, an actress and a former Playboy centerfold whose son has been diagnosed with autism, is the best-known leader of the movement, but she is joined by legions of well-organized supporters and sympathizers.
Measles outbreak 'worst in years'
Health chiefs in Wales are dealing with a "massive" measles outbreak, with numbers already four times the highest figure recorded over the past 13 years.
Four nursery school children were treated in hospital as part of 127 cases across mid and west Wales, while there are another 39 cases in Conwy.
The National Public Health Service (NPHS) in Wales saw 39 cases last year. Its highest figure in 2003 was 44.
Officials appealed for parents to take up the MMR vaccine.
Dr Mac Walapu, consultant in communicable disease control for the NPHS, said: "For as long as there are children who do not receive their MMR vaccinations, there is the potential for outbreaks of measles to happen and we would remind anyone in Wales, and not just in the affected area."
A spokeswoman added: "We need to be up front with parents."
She added: "We try not to be too scary when we talk to people about this, but children die of measles and children are impaired by measles. "It puts children in hospital. The reality it is that this is happening now, in Wales. Measles is very contagious."
She said the outbreak was set to be the biggest in Wales since the MMR vaccine was introduced in 1988.
Introducing Jenny McCarthy Body Count
Jenny McCarthy's special brand of anti science zeal has finally a quantifiable number attached to it, thanks to the Jenny McCarthy Body Count website. Go there frequently. As of today it stand at
- Preventable Cases – 720
- Preventable deaths – 142
Now of course this is a bit exagerated, not all of these cases are due directly to the anti-vaccine movement, but you have to wonder, how high is the percentage of those cases that are and can you live with that as an anti-vaccer? What if it was 1 of each only, can you, as an anti-vaccer, still look at yourself in the mirror without throwing something at it?
Vaccine scares around the world
KIEV, Ukraine – A widespread scare about vaccine side effects in Ukraine has led to a sharp drop in immunizations that could result in disease outbreaks spreading beyond the former Soviet republic, international and local health officials say.
Hundreds of thousands of fearful Ukrainians have refused vaccines for diseases such as diphtheria, mumps, polio, hepatitis B, tuberculosis, whooping cough and others this year, according to official estimates. Authorities have canceled a U.N.-backed measles and rubella vaccination campaign funded by U.S. philanthropist Ted Turner, and will have to collect and incinerate nearly 9 million unused doses in coming months.
"I never thought I'd see the day where perfectly good vaccines are being destroyed," said Michael Bociurkiw, a spokesman for UNICEF.
Experts blame the Ukrainian scare on government mismanagement and irresponsible media coverage of an anti-vaccination campaign launched after the May death of a 17-year-old boy who had received a combined shot for measles and rubella.
Indonesia's controversial health minister says she wants to end vaccinating children against meningitis, mumps and some other diseases because she fears foreign drug companies are using the country as a testing ground.
Health Minister Siti Fadillah Supari — who first drew widespread attention by boycotting the World Health Organization's 50-year-old virus sharing system in 2007 — said Tuesday she wanted "scientific proof" that shots for illnesses like pneumonia, chicken pox, the flu, rubella and typhoid were "beneficial".
"If not, they have to be stopped," she said, declining to say exactly what that would mean. "We don't want our country to be a testing place for drugs, as has been the case in Africa."
Supari said she still would advocate immunizations against measles, polio, tetanus, hepatitis B and tuberculosis.
Her statement comes at a time when Indonesia is struggling to contain outbreaks of preventable childhood illnesses.
Chronic funding problems and chaotic decentralization efforts since the 1998 ouster of longtime dictator Suharto have forced many local clinics in the poorest parts of the nation to scale back operations, reducing the time and money spent on education and routine immunizations.
The number of cases of measles, tuberculosis and other diseases has skyrocketed. Polio briefly re-emerged after a decade-long absence in 2005.
Every Child by Two
I would like to plug the Every Child By Two website as an excellent source to get information about childhood vaccines and vaccine safety. Given the great misinoformation being given out by the likes of Jenny McCarthy about vaccines and their mythical connection to autism, a site like this becomes extremely important in educating parents and making the case for vaccine importance and safety. Please pay special attention to the Studies page which has a wealth of relevant studies that back up these claims.
Officials say 'bad science' links vaccines, autism
WASHINGTON (AP) — Bitter feuding over a possible link between vaccines and autism won't go away despite a strong rejection of that theory by a special federal court.
Thousands of families were hoping to win compensation and vindication through three test cases presented to the court. They contended that a combination of the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine plus other shots triggered autism.
Officials with the U.S. Court of Claims said they sympathized with the families, but there was little if any evidence to support claims of a vaccine-autism link.
The evidence "is weak, contradictory and unpersuasive," concluded Special Master Denise Vowell. "Sadly, the petitioners in this litigation have been the victims of bad science conducted to support litigation rather than to advance medical and scientific understanding" of autism.

Press briefing: morning 8 January 2015
The Prime Minister's Official Spokesperson answered questions about the Paris attack and the Chilcot Report.
Paris Attack
When asked about the terrorist attack in Paris, the PMOS said the Home Secretary had this morning chaired a COBRA meeting to discuss heightened UK protective security arrangements. The UK threat level on the advice of the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC) remained at severe, the PMOS added.
The PMOS said border security had been tightened at the UK's juxtaposed controls and other UK-France transit routes, with an increased visible security presence; adding that the Foreign & Commonwealth Office was working with posts to provide the latest advice and urged people to remain vigilant.
The PMOS also noted that alongside President Hollande and the people of France the Prime Minister had observed one minute's silence at midday Paris time, and that the flag over Downing Street was flying at half-mast.
Chilcot Report
When asked about the Chilcot Report, the PMOS said the timing of the report's completion was a matter for the Chilcot Inquiry, adding that in terms of publication the Prime Minister's view was that the government would seek to publish the report as soon as possible after completion, while ensuring that Parliament had the appropriate time to read and debate it.

In 1992, George Soros made one of the most legendary trades of all time: a substantial bet that the British Pound would plummet in value. In hindsight, the trade looks like a no brainer (similar to how shorting the 2008 housing market looks today). How did everyone not see that? It was inevitable.
But Soros went against one of the most pervasive trading axioms of our time. You may have heard "Don't Fight the Fed." The expression refers to the fact that when the Federal Reserve is in the market, you shouldn't bet against it. The Fed moves the market. Trading the Pound, Soros' bet wasn't fighting the Fed, but it was fighting the Bank of England - a similar market force.
So how'd he do it? How did he "break the Bank of England?" And, critically, how did he make $1 billion in a month and catapult himself into trading lore and enable himself to build one of the greatest trading fortunes in history?
Think you have the insight and discipline to trade our capital?
The Backdrop
It's important to understand the political backdrop of Europe in the early 1990s. Unlike today, the continent was a collection of currencies inside the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM). The goal of Europe's ERM was to establish monetary stability in Europe, in preparation for the European Union and the introduction of the Euro.
Britain first entered the ERM in October 1990, agreeing to keep the British Pound valued between 2.78 and 3.13 German Deutschmarks. The country quickly found itself in an economic recession. In a normal recession, the Bank of England would lower interest rates to prop up the economy. However, lower rates have a negative effect on the relative values of currencies - and if the Bank of England lowered rates, it would make it impossible to maintain the British Pound's value relative to Germany's Deutschmark.
The bank had to choose: would it try to revive economic growth or stay in the European ERM? The Bank of England chose the ERM. Instead of lowering interest rates, the Bank raised them. It also used its foreign currency reservves to buy the Pound as speculators began to sell the currency realizing it was in an economic malaise.
Opportunity Emerges
Over the ensuing two years, the U.K. continued to support its currency - a move that cost it billions. But the market believed that Britain would continue to honor its commitment, and that belief alone kept up the house of cards.
But in August 1992, something changed. The German Bundesbank began to float the idea that currencies in the ERM could be revalued, starting with council members and moving to the President of the Bundesbank, Helmut Schlesinger.
Schlesinger's willingness to explore devalutation opened the flood gates and completely changed the risk / reward to a short Pound position. If the Pound didn't devalue, it would still likely stay in the weaker portion of its band. However, if it did weaken, it would be by a substantial amount.
Final Death Blow
When approached with Schlesinger's comments, Soros famously told his head trader, "Go for the jugular." Soros' fund sold $10 billion worth of Pounds short, flooding the market. Other hedge funds piled on board, selling billions more and putting further pressure on the Bank of England.
However, the Bank of England had a couple last gasps in it. It proceeded to raise interest rates by 2%. (Raising interest rates generally leads currencies to appreciate.) When that didn't cause the Pound to rally, the Bank raised interest rates by another 3% the same afternoon. The market didn't react. Everyone kept selling Pounds.
The writing was on the wall - and the last people to realize it were the British central bankers. At 7:30 PM that night, the Bank of England announced that Britain would leave the European ERM and allow its currency to float on the market.
The Pound immediately fell 15% against the Deutschmark - and fell 25% against the U.S. Dollar. Soros' short bet paid off for more than $1 billion, and he cemented himself into trading legends. But unlike Jesse Livermore, who left the crash of 1929 with a net worth of $1.4 billion and was bankrupt five years later, Sorors parlayed his 1992 gains into a net worth of $23 billion, according to Forbes.

Manhattan sales transactions totaled $3.7 billion in the third quarter, 28% below the trailing four-quarter average of $5.2 billion, according to Avison Young. By annualizing the first three quarters, 2019 is on pace for sales totaling $16.3 billion, or 32.7% below 2018's $24.3 billion.
That being the case, large trades dominated Q3, including the Coca-Cola Building at 711 Fifth Ave.—a $907-million deal that reportedly was followed by the property's $955-million resale a few weeks later.
The number of transactions fell to 53 from 76 in the previous quarter, and declined by 36% from the four-quarter average. Avison Young projects 277 sales across Manhattan for 2019, down from a 10-year low of 300 in 2017.
"The Q3 investment sales report indicates that even with declining sales numbers, we're still seeing large trades and a healthy appetite for trophy assets," said James Nelson, head of Avison Young's Tri-State Investment Sales Group.

dir: James Mangold
Yes, yes, another superhero flick. Your eyes just glazed over thinking about it the way mine did as I was typing it.
The Wolverine, at least, is a more modestly ambitious superhero flick than the four thousand or so we've watched in the last year. In fact, you could argue it's not even a superhero flick, in that it's just about a guy with weird hair and the magical ability to heal instantly who kills a bunch of Japanese people. So it's an action flick, more than anything, with nary a mention of the X-Men or most of anything that happened in all of the other films, with the pointed exception being the fate of Jean Grey (Famke Janssen) at the end of X-Men 3.
Now, when ranking X-Men flicks, it would seem to make sense to order them from best to worst, but, to my mind, worst to least mediocre is probably a better methodology. The cumbersomely-named X-Men Origins: Wolverine might seem to be the worst, but I have a special hatred for that third turd of a flick, being The Last Stand, which was anything but the last stand, since the tedium rolls on and on.
Let's just agree that both movies are pretty terrible in special, unique ways, and leave it at that. Fortunately, nothing about Origins plays a role here, and I'm assuming in the timeframe this plays out some years after Last Stand.
As the film begins, we're watching curious footage of two bombers approaching a seaside town. Some Japanese guard at a POW prison camp circa 1940s starts going berserk, screaming presumably "The Americans are coming, the Americans are Coming! Quick, abuse the prisoners some more and then quickly commit suicide!" My Japanese is a bit rusty, so I might be slightly inaccurate on that score. Most of the guards are running around like Japanese chickens with their heads artfully decapitated with the precise deadly beauty of a katana. One guard is still trying to kill POWs, as if there's any percentage or value in doing so. One of them, though, seems to value human life a little more than his brethren, as he tries to help the prisoners escape before the bombs drop.
This one also, with his cherishing of the sacredness of human life, looks towards a pit in which presumably the most recalcitrant and disobedient prisoner in the concentration camp is being kept. All we see are his eyes, at this stage, and the fact that he's suspending himself in the air using only his claws stuck into the walls of the pit.
So I guess this is our hero? Or is the Japanese guy our hero? Anyone who's seen not a second of X-Men flicks wouldn't have any idea, and wouldn't get much of an idea for the rest of the flick.
Japanese soldier releases prisoner, the bombs drop, turns out this town is Nagasaki, turns out the bombs are atomic bombs, turns out Logan / Wolverine wants to save this Japanese guy's life as well, and does so, his miraculous healing powers holding both of them in good stead despite the fact that I can't fathom how this was meant to work. Some movies wait a while before they 'nuke the fridge'; here they did it in the opening goddamn minutes.
In case you don't know, and you really shouldn't, 'nuking the fridge' refers to one of the most egregiously awful moments in any film involving George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford in any combination, coming from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, a movie I've tried and failed to blot from my consciousness using litres of industrial-strength alcohol, to no avail but much merriment.
As absurd as this moment is, and I'm tempted to list each and every reason why Logan/Wolverine 'saving' this Japanese guy just by holding a piece of metal over the blast front of a nuclear explosion is easily the most ridiculous fucking thing I've seen in many a year, I'm prepared to let it go, because I'm feeling generous today, and because Australia's Own Hugh Jackman's just so wonderful in the role.
It cuts to the present, or at least the more recent past, and this crazy bearded guy is in bed with Famke Janssen, against which there should be laws. It's a dream sequence, don't get too freaked out, but it points to two things: Logan feels guilty about having to kill Jean in a previous film when she went crazy and tried to destroy the world, and, on some level perhaps, Logan wishes he could just die.
An embittered and mournful Logan hides out in the Canadian wilderness, which is the best kind of wilderness. He's really doing it rough, with big hair and bushy beard. He eschews the company of other humans, and frankly, given how shitty they are, who can blame him. He marks his territory the way his neighbour the grizzly bear does, and he just wants to do his thing without being hassled by the Man, or the Bear either, one guesses.
Events transpire, a tiny redheaded Japanese girl called Yukio (Rila Fukushima) has been following Logan, taking snaps of him, basically being very creepy. No-one minds when it's a 'cute' Japanese girl doing the stalking.
She reveals during or maybe just after a barroom brawl that she is the envoy of the Japanese guy Logan saved at the beginning of the movie, who lays dying, and wishes to thank Logan in person before he moves on to his eternal reward. Turns out the guy Logan saved and hasn't thought about in 68 years became a wealthy industrialist.
That doesn't bode well, does it? "Dying wealthy industrialist" is shorthand for Bond villain usually, but, who knows, maybe he's of the nice variety, and plus, we know Yashida (Haruhiko Yamanouchi) values life above all else.
What follows is mostly of the overcooked and melodramatic variety. Yashida dies, and has a granddaughter who perpetually either wants to off herself or keeps getting kidnapped by yakuza thugs. Why is she being kidnapped by the yakuza thugs? Because Wolverine needs a faceless army of guys to kill (in bloodless and mostly edit-hasty ways). Is there a better reason than that? Why does Wolverine give a good goddamn? I'm still not sure. The granddaughter, Mariko (Tao Okamoto) is possibly the blandest, most boring woman I've seen in a film in centuries. Wolverine fixates on her in what I thought was a protective mode, but it ends up going ludicrous quite fast.
There is a point that the story is trying to get across, at least in terms of character moments, or character motivations for Logan. The old guy, before he died, mentioned to Logan that he could give him what he craves, which is death. We know, at least those of us unfortunate enough to have watched all the movies or read the comics, that Logan is effectively immortal. The screenplay tries to give a plausible explanation as to why something like this might be appealling to Logan at this late stage of his deathless life. And once, purely coincidentally, his healing factor stops working, for some reason, and he starts suffering wounds he can't instantly recover from, it goes some way towards making him a more relatable character, or at least a more human one.
The most touching moment, once Logan and his charge hide out in some small seaside town known as Nagasaki, is when the locals require his help in clearing some debris from a fallen tree. He works a hard couple of hours, and feels exhausted, that bone deep tiredness that comes from hard physical work. It's something Logan's never experienced before (Canadians being allergic to hard work, apparently) since his healing factor would have meant his muscles regenerated instantly, avoiding fatigue. The pleasure he takes in this feeling is actually a sweet character moment, one Jackman sold well, one I enjoyed.
It's far sweeter than anything else between Logan and Mariko. Let's just say I didn't find their 'relationship' very engaging or believable, with zero chemistry. Mariko is such a boring character and boring performance that I found myself drifting off even with those stupid 3D glasses on my head.
That's not true, but her line readings were pretty affectless. My favourite piece of dialogue she delivers is when Logan asks a reasonable question about some really dumb actions she and her family are taking, and she replies, "You wouldn't understand, you're not Japanese", but she says it as if someone was showing her colour swatches so she can decide on a new paint colour for the upstairs bathroom, but she doesn't really care that much, since she's dead inside and doesn't care about the difference between Ivory and Eggshell White. So she responds the way you do when you don't even have the energy to be sarcastic or passive aggressive, and can't even muster a 'whatever'.
Logan had far more chemistry with his little firecracker of a redheaded 'bodyguard' Yukio, who's a mean fighter as well. She kicks a whole bunch of ass as if she was the redheaded Japanese equivalent of Hit Girl. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Logan should have hooked up with Yukio instead or as well. Frankly the sight of a man in his mid forties cracking onto Japanese girls thirty years his junior fills me with nothing but dread, but that's enough about my hangups.
Focussing on the melodrama and the idiotic plot machinations makes it seem like it's not an action fest, but that's my fault, not the film's. There's plenty of action, don't worry, action heads. The question is whether it's decent action or not.
There's a fight at the funeral, sure, but the big scene is probably the fight in and on a bullet train, which looked smashing, and, despite implausibilities, worked tremendously well. Sure, the yakuza goons are a faceless, characterless bunch, and their motivation makes so little sense, but it sure looks great when Logan is killing them at 500 kilometres an hour.
The plot gets a bit bogged down in pointless wheel-spinning, which mostly is only revealed at the end to have been a whole lot of pointless busywork, because the 'real' villain and their 'real' motivation renders everything that occurs earlier on pointless. I can't say I was surprised at the reveal at the end, but I can say when the final 'form' of the villain is revealed, the feeling I felt most was 'profound disappointment'.
I thought the point of the flick was bringing Logan down to a more human scale, getting him to feel his own mortality, making him a more believable figure in a more believable world, which, with the exception of his abilities, should have just been regular people doing slightly amazing things in the pursuit of a common goal, which should have been something interesting.
So then why's he fighting a giant samurai robot with giant flaming katana swords at the end? Why did a certain character, a certain ninja-like character, who swears to the camera and no-one else, that he's going to defend Mariko with his life, reveal himself to be in cahoots with the villain, and then, for no reason, changes his mind spontaneously at the end? Why did the villains conspire to rob Logan of his healing abilities, thus making it more likely for him to die before the climax, even though they needed him at the climax in order to extract maximum value out of him?
It's... it's not good. It's a bit lame, I have to say. Jackman is fine throughout, everyone loves the dour character, don't they? Most of the Japanese people are fine, the action is great, but the plot is, how shall I put this delicately, oh yeah, it's fucking retarded. My apologies to fucking retards everywhere.
I certainly didn't hate the flick, because it seemed like they were trying to take the time to make it something different, especially since every other superhero flick has the protagonist having to save the whole world every time. He was just trying to save a girl, in order to make up for the one he couldn't save, and that should have been enough. It wasn't though, and this just became an exercise in futility, to me.

Lena Ryman Wildén is a teacher in Second Language, and works with Swedish för Immigrants in Norrköping.
She introduced iPads as a new way to improve her students' Swedish skills, and discovered there was a lack of apps that focused on adults. To fill this void, she created the app Alfavux (in swedish) in cooperation with the Swedish National Agency for Education.
Ryman Wildéns lecture is about the process of developing an app designed for language training for older students with a mother tongue other than Swedish.

Second Education Minister Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh said that Malaysian universities are not far from becoming world-class institutions like the University of Oxford, since they have already attracted over 135,000 international students.
Idris proffered the examples of the engineering and pharmacy courses offered at local universities, which he claimed are among the best in the world.
"It cannot be denied that engineering courses offered in public institutions of higher learning are among the best in the world so much so that Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UNIMAP) has also become the choice of foreign students," he told Bernama.
The Pharmacy Science Studies course at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), according to Idris, is among the best 100 pharmacy courses in the world, while the Islamic Banking Studies course at Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia (UIAM) is also among the world's best Islamic banking courses, and Universiti Putra Malaysia's (UPM) agriculture-related courses are ranked 54th in the world.
"So it is not impossible if the excellent performance of local public institutions of higher learning continue to be empowered to compete against the best universities in the world now," he added.
In February, Idris made a similar claim, saying that Malaysian universities are on par with those from the United Kingdom, Germany and Australia, again citing the number of international students enrolled here.
But Idris' claim was soon after rubbished by Serdang MP Ong Kian Ming, who noted that no Malaysian university even finished in the top 100 of overall global university rankings.
Bukit Bendera MP Zairil Khir Johari added that the majority of international students in Malaysia are from countries with universities inferior to ours, such as Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Nigeria, and Bangladesh.
What is so good about taking in 135,000 International Students when more than half of them comes in for harem activities especially drugs and prostitution.
How many of them attend classes?
How many of them do their own projects and thesis?
How many of them does not need the lecturers to give answers to all their tests?
How many of them get our local girls pregnant?
How many of them have MyKad?
How many of them after a month in Malaysia bring their families here to stay?
How many of them really contributed to our economy?
How much of money leaves this country because of them?
International standard in terms of quality Malaysia is way down the drain.

In the New Year's Honours List, Scott Watkin was awarded a British Empire Medal (BEM) for his tireless work teaching people with learning disabilities about eye care.
Scott works for the charity SeeAbility as an Eye Care and Vision Development Officer. He has a learning disability and an eye condition called keratoconus which affects the cornea.
"Back in November, I received a letter through the post. I didn't have a clue what this letter was about and to my surprise I had got a British Empire Medal for services to people with learning disabilities. I started crying when I told my wife," Scott explained.
As part of his role, Scott talks to people about his eye condition and helps other people with learning disabilities to make sure they get the eye care and vision services they need.
Adults with a learning disability are 10 times more likely to have serious sight problems than others, while children with a learning disability are 28 times more likely to have serious sight problems than others.
"For the last 10 years, I have been working at a local level up to national level, to make sure that people with learning disabilities had a voice," Scott said.
However, he never thought his efforts would be given any kind of recognition.
"I was told I'd never get a job, I'd always live in a care home, and I would never live independently. Now I'm married and have children, I live in a three-bedroom house, and hold down two jobs."
As well as his role at SeeAbility, Scott teaches at the University of Hertfordshire as a visiting lecturer on the Learning Disability and Nursing courses and sits on the Learning Disability England Representative Body. He also co- chairs the stakeholder group within Transforming Care which works to help make sure that people with learning disabilities move out of an assessment and treatment unit and go back into the community.
"What the BEM has done for me is to tell me that actually I need to carry on and keep doing more and more for people with learning disabilities, to make sure that they have a voice and get the eye care that they need."

The rest of the story
Vox, January 22, 2018:
But there's still a lot of work to do.
After a three-day standoff, Congress has voted to reopen the government — but only for three weeks.
In a last-minute decision, Senate Democrats agreed to pass a spending bill that would fund the federal government through February 8, and fund the Children's Health Insurance Program for six years, with an assurance from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to negotiate some kind of immigration deal within that time period and put a bill on the floor for a vote.
The House passed the same spending bill a few hours later.
Lawmakers were stuck in an impasse for three days after the Senate failed to pass a spending bill Friday night, shutting down the government. Democrats and several Republicans handily voted down a House bill that would have extended the shutdown deadline to February 16. Since then, Democrats had been trying to extract firm assurances from Republican leaders, in hopes a bipartisan immigration bill will land on President Trump's desk.
Lawmakers have grown increasingly frustrated with the state of immigration negotiations in recent months. Republicans have punted on finding a legislative fix for the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals immigration program since September, when the Trump administration announced it would end the program by March 5. They've also kicked down more permanent budget negotiations, instead passing three short-term spending deals since October 1 — the latest extends current spending levels for another three weeks.

The Closure of Rideau High School: A Case Study in the Political Economy of Urban Education in Ontario
AbstractIn 2017, school board trustees in Ottawa, Ontario, voted to close Rideau High School, an urban secondary school in a historically marginalized neighbourhood. The school board had consistently argued that low enrolment at Rideau HS, and the resultant inability of the school to offer a full range of course choices, made closure the only viable option. To many people in the affected communities, however, the closure decision was seen as a form of discrimination against the school's marginalized student population, which included many new immigrants, refugees, and Indigenous students. This article draws upon research from the US and the UK that emphasizes the spatial dimensions of urban education, along with the existing research on school closures in Ontario, in order to explore this particular school closure decision from an urban, political, socioeconomic, and historical perspective. Focusing on a case study area in eastern Ottawa, this article presents both a narrative history of Ottawa school board policies and a quantitative analysis of local demographic data. It is argued that the closure of Rideau HS should be understood in the context of a series of interconnected challenges faced by the school, including a marginalized student population, a negative reputation, and low student enrolment. In turn, these challenges should be understood in the context of socioeconomic disparities between neighbourhoods in the area and a history of ineffective policies at the school-board level, including relatively lax student transfer policies. These findings indicate the inadequacy of the narrow economic measures that Ontario school boards use to determine school closure decisions, and suggest that school boards should engage in more robust community engagement before closing marginalized urban schools. A proposal to establish an official "community hub" within the active high school is examined as a concrete alternative to closure that was supported by the community but not by the school board.

Chaichana, Thanapong and Sun, Zhonghua and Tungjitkusolmun, Supan and Sangworasil, Manas (2010) Flow simulation in coronary artery models: An investigation of the effect of variable angulations at the left coronary artery. In: 2010 IEEE 23rd International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems (CBMS). IEEE eXpress Conference Publishing, Perth, pp. 279-284. ISBN 9781424491674Full text not available from this repository.
This study was designed to investigate the hemodynamics in the left coronary artery with the aim of identifying the relationship between angulations of left coronary bifurcation and development of atherosclerosis. Six 3D left coronary models were simulated for computational fluid dynamic analysis. The left coronary model was composed of left main stem, left anterior descending and left circumflex branches. The angulations at the left bifurcation were simulated with angles ranging from 90°, 75°, 60°, 45°, 30° to 15°. The computational fluid dynamic was used for analysis of flow velocity, wall pressure and wall shear stress. Our results showed that apparent low shear stress and high wall pressure was noticed at the left coronary bifurcation regions with wide angled models. Flow pattern was also changed with angled becoming wide in the simulated models. Our analysis shows direction relationship between coronary angulation and development of atherosclerosis. Future studies are required to perform computational fluid dynamic analysis in coronary models from patients' data with different degree of coronary stenosis.

"Famous Duos" Fanart #1: Chris Ottoby dgriff13 on 2013/01/11 at 12:00 am
Hi folks! I'm hard at work lately- laying out Z&F book #3, prepping for cons coming up in the early spring, looking into creating ebooks to offer in the store, and recovering from the holiday madness! So, on this Fantastic-Fanart-Friday, I bring you the first installment of this off-season's theme: Famous Duos! Read up HERE, on where this idea came from and how you can contribute as well!
Many thanks to a devout reader and support of Z&F- Chris Otto, whom I am SUUUUURE you have heard of before 'round these parts, by now. Chris Otto of "A Dog's Life" has made his mark (no pun intended) on Z&F– multiple fanart pieces, a winner of a PWITM Contest, and someone who just loves to pass on the good word about Z&F on twitter, G+ and facebook. Chris picked an excellent "couple" to draw Zorphie & Fred as– Opus and Bill the Cat of Bloom County! And how awesome is it that Fred FINALLY gets to be a cat! In case you haven't heard of "A Dog's Life", swing by the cast page to get an idea of the goofy, colorful dogs, humans and other creatures that roam the universe of Chris' comic. If you guys are dog fanatics, which is likely if you read Z&F, spend some time checking out Chris's fun corner of the webcomics world! Thanks so much for this Chris!

Audition CS6 and Audio plug-ins
Audition CS6 added support for VST3 plug-ins, rounding out our support for all of the major plug-in formats (we also support VST and AU). Note that VSTi and DirectX effects are not supported in Audition CS6.
This release also introduces an under-the-hood change that may not be as obvious—but that helps make using 3rd party plug-ins in Audition more predictable.
Most audio apps scan for plug-ins on launch, but in our experience—given the enormous range of plug-ins out in the world—that can be a problem. If one plug-in crashes, the whole application comes down, and the resulting troubleshooting process is not a lot of fun.
In Audition CS6, we've separated scanning for plug-ins from launching the app. As a result, start-up times for Audition are super quick. And because plug-ins are scanned separately, we're able to isolate and disable any that are causing trouble.
How do you scan for 3rd party effects? Simple: choose Effects > Audio Plug-in Manager. In the VST Plug-in Folders section of the dialog, specify the folders where your 3rd party effects are stored, then click Scan for Plug-ins. Most of your effects will simply then be available, but any that fail to scan correctly will simply be listed as disabled. If you add new effects, all you have to do is click the Rescan Existing Plug-ins option.
One last note about plug-ins for Audition: because the app is currently 32-bit, only 32-bit versions of 3rd party effects are supported. We've been happy to see the top tier effects companies like WAVES and iZotop release 64-bit plug-ins, and would love to hear what you think—so please leave a comment!
Feedback? Let us know!
Not using Audition CS6 yet? You can download a free 30 day trial. Or just go ahead and order a full copy or upgrade!
Audition is part of the Adobe Creative Cloud, so you can subscribe once and get access to Audition CS6, Photoshop CS6, and all of Adobe's other creative tools.

It simply doesn't work. Audition starts "scanning" for 3rd party VST plugins and just gets stuck. Major bug I think
I dont understand why CS6 does not support VST and MIDI. This is the basis!! How can I create sound?
aammmm, recording an instrument??? wtf!?
I would like to have the effects for adobe audition cs6 program
that are vst to use that are very good
Waves plug-ins are constantly crashing in Audition CS6 (same as with CS5.5). I.e. I can generally use these plug-ins, but after a few minutes of using them, Audition crashes.

Ohio School District Closes on SARS Fears
The possibility that a group of students and adults who visited Toronto last week may have been exposed to the SARS virus prompted officials to shut down its 1,100-student school district Monday.
None of the band students and chaperones showed any signs of severe acute respiratory syndrome, but two school board members received five or six calls each from worried parents requesting that schools be closed, said Rocco Adduci, superintendent of Weathersfield School District in suburban Youngstown.
"I think the community and some parents are overreacting," Adduci said. "To be safe, maybe it was the best thing."
The school shutdown represents one of the most drastic reactions to a virus that Ohio health officials believe has infected only one person. Ten other cases are suspected.
Worldwide, SARS has killed about 333 people, mostly in Asia, since it surfaced in November. There have been no SARS deaths in the United States.
SARS symptoms include fever, chills and headache and body aches. After two to seven days, patients may develop a cough. Other symptoms can include shortness of breath, difficulty in breathing and pneumonia.
Thirty-nine people, mostly students, spent three days last week in Toronto, where SARS has killed at least 20 people and is considered the epicenter of the Canadian outbreak.
Adduci said classes will resume Tuesday. He said he checked with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which recommended that classes resume because the SARS cases in Toronto are isolated to people involved with health care or hospitals.
"Had I had all the information from CDC yesterday, I would not have canceled school," Adduci said Monday.

Parliamentary Committee Hears About Damaging Impact Of Online Giants
"Good morning – and thank you for the opportunity to appear here today.
I congratulate Minister Laundy for calling for this inquiry as this particular topic is very important to our members, in fact the results of our annual survey of over 450 businesses across Australia rank the issue of impact of global internet companies on their business as the number one area of concern.
For your reference, the Accommodation Association of Australia is the national industry body for Australia's accommodation industry. Members of the Accommodation Association include major hotels, resorts, motels, motor inns, serviced and holiday apartments, bed and breakfasts, guesthouses, backpackers and timeshare establishments in metropolitan, regional and rural Australia, across all states and territories. The Association's members include major hotel and motel chains, and serviced apartment groups. The Association's membership base includes almost 2000 properties and more than 110,000 guest rooms.
Operators of accommodation businesses are one of the most important components of Australia's tourism industry. Tourism directly contributes $52.9 billion to Australia's gross domestic product, 3.2 per cent of Australia's total GDP.
There are 580,200 people directly employed in the Australian tourism industry – 4.9 per cent of total employment.
There are 4445 tourism accommodation establishments in Australia and there are 82,800 people employed in the accommodation industry.
We are an industry that is primarily small business, even though we have large brands in our membership. In fact over half of our members identify themselves as independent and 80% are based in regional areas outside of the CBD and typically are around 30 rooms employing circa 10 local staff in their community. We are long term investors who literally establish a business for 50 years or more, a high risk in such a dynamic market.
We are adopters of technology to make our businesses more efficient and welcome high speed connectivity for our members who are located all over Australia, including island resorts to Voyagers in the centre of our country.
I am here today to further highlight two of the biggest challenges confronting our industry today, both of which stem from global internet-based competition:
- The damaging impact of online travel agencies, specifically the two online global giants – Expedia and Priceline – who command almost 85 per cent of all online accommodation bookings in Australia, and they pay little or no tax in Australia and employ very few Australians; and
- The lack of regulation which covers Airbnb and other sharing economy platforms which facilitate the provision of tourism accommodation – which contrasts with traditional hotels, motels and serviced apartments…our members.
Our submission goes into our views in more detail, but briefly, our members have been forced to swallow constant increases in commissions imposed on them by Expedia and Priceline, rising from 5-10 per cent to the point where many operators are now paying 20-25 per cent per room booked.
But, the biggest concern, by far, among our members about the conduct of online travel agencies centres on room-rates. One of the standard clauses in commercial agreements which exist between a hotel and either Expedia or Priceline is that the hotel must not publicly advertise – including on its own website – a room-rate which is lower than that which is being displayed for their property on Expedia or Priceline online travel agency websites, which the likes of wotif,hotels.com and booking.com. This is known as "price parity" – and it is hindering consumers from accessing lower room-rates from hotels, motels, serviced apartments and other tourism accommodation properties.
Given this, the Accommodation Association strongly supports banning such price parity clauses, as some overseas countries have. A matter I believe that was discussed with this Committee by the ACCC
I'm conscious of time, so in relation to our members second largest concern, Airbnb, I'll be brief.
Airbnb is facilitating non-compliant accommodation – by and large, its properties do not meet the same standards our members have to meet for building fire safety, they do not have the same insurance coverage, they do not comply with planning laws and they are not required to provide disability access. This is not a level-playing field. On top of this, Airbnb employs very few people in Australia compared to our industry and it has constantly dodged questions about how much tax – if any – it pays in Australia.
They operate in an opaque way avoiding current legislation

1) My breasts itch. I know. I got a little too much sun on that last day. I achieved "no tan lines" but have possibly gained a skin peel. It hasn't peeled yet, so we'll see. (I mean, "I'll see", not "we'll see" as in "YOU will not see")
2) Today we woke up to gorgeous snow on the ground. It lasted about thirty minutes and then the ice started to fall. School was delayed for an hour, which meant we could watch some "Saved by the Bell". Because at 7:30 am on a school day, it's either Sesame Street or Saved By The Bell. I have officially introduced my girls to Screech. Fortunately, they didn't "get" it or really care and it was finally 'round time to put on boots and hats and I reminded myself to put in a dvd the next time we're in a bind.
3) Did I mention we had ice falling from the sky? I was secretly hoping for a snow day. After ten days of not seeing the girls, and then they go back to their dad this coming weekend, I feel like I'm missing alot of snuggle time and smelling their sweet breath. Speaking of smelling things, Red informed me this morning that her new fleece lined Crocs smell. "What do they smell like?" I asked her. "Dirty filthy socks" she replied. They are a week old and I know that they pretty much have only worn them over vacation at their dad's. I silently wonder if he ever does the laundry.
4) Red and Blue will not be having their usually scheduled Wednesday evening dinner out with their dad, because his 4 Wheel Chevy Tahoe can't drive itself north in what has become mere rain. I am openly glad about that because now we can eat grilled cheese and open that new can of Pringles and watch the second Pippi Longstocking dvd (out of 4) that Santa left in their stockings. You know, the ones from the late 60's and early 70's….they are Swedish and the mouths of the characters don't match what comes out because English is dubbed in.
I totally love it. The girls totally love it. I am reliving my childhood daily with Red and Blue.
5) My friend, Katie, reads my blog. She sent me a link this morning that proves I'm not that crazy. And I think that this article comes from a credible source, right? I mean, who can argue with MSNBC? See, I'm normal.
6) I am so frickin' organized, I just prepared my tax spreadsheets for my accountant. All I am waiting for is all those forms and things that come from the banks and a few "employers" of contract work. I-am-psyched. Yet, I hate that all the extra expenses this year with car fixings, new water heater and my laptop, didn't allow me to save. But it didn't make me go under either.
7) Skype has kept J's communication with me (and mine with him) very close and easier while he's been away.
When I was on the island with him, I was grateful to have convinced the girls' dad to get connected via Skype.
It was free. It was easy.
The girls could see me.
And I could see them.
