Round up #136: E-book sales down per AAP, 100 essential non-fiction books
The ILMK Round ups are short pieces which may or may not be expanded later.
Amazon's 4th Quarter 2015 Earnings Conference Call Thursday at 2:00 PM Pacific
People are excited about this one…and it should be telling. Yes, the stock market has been having a rough time, but my intuition is that investors will like this. I won't be able to listen to it live tomorrow, but I'll get to it as soon as I reasonably can.
If you'd like to listen to the conference call, you can do it here:
One of my regular readers and commenters, Man in the Middle, recommended this article to me on copyright:
Freedom of Expression and Morality Based Impediments to the Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights by Mark J. Randazza
It is a very interesting paper, discussing the effect of countries disqualifying a work from copyright protection if it is "immoral" (or illegal…they don't say anything about fattening). 😉
Content-wise, I can say I think I'm more along the European concepts of copyright than American.
So, the "oops" here was that I told Man that I planned to listen to it using text-to-speech (TTS) in the car on a commute.
It's a PDF, and I planned to listen to it using the free app,
ezPDF Reader PDF Annotate Form (at AmazonSmile: benefit a non-profit of your choice by shopping*)
I downloaded the PDF (portable document file), e-mailed it to myself, got in the car…and it wouldn't open in EZ PDF! Quite odd…I'd never had that happen before. I tried a few different options, but with the limited time I had (I was off to work) I switched to
Yellow Crocus (at AmazonSmile: benefit a non-profit of your choice by shopping*)
which my Significant Other had borrowed through
Kindle Unlimited (at AmazonSmile: benefit a non-profit of your choice by shopping*)
My SO said "enjoyed" wasn't the right word (it's not a happy book), but thought it was good.
So, that was okay, but I was a bit puzzled. EZ PDF couldn't locate it on my now discontinued Kindle Fire HDX.
Then I realized what had happened.
Instead of e-mailing it as an attachment to myself (which I would then download to my KF), I had e-mailed it directly to the Kindle…which causes it to be converted.
It the text-to-speech (TTS) on my Kindle Fire worked with PDFs, or with the converted PDF, it wouldn't have mattered.
Just a mistake on my part. 🙂
Amazon's first Superbowl ad
Amazon has never bought a Superbowl ad before, but they have and it has been posted here:
What is it for? Amazon Prime? The Fire tablets? The Kindle Voyage? Fire TV?
Nope, it's for the
Amazon Echo (at AmazonSmile: benefit a non-profit of your choice by shopping*)
The Echo, which I cover most extensively in another blog of mine, The Measured Circle
does do sports, but Superbowl ads aren't really about sports.
I'll let you watch it, if you want, but I'll say this: it has two celebrities…and it massively under uses the Echo. 🙂 Somebody is writing down a list, which the Echo could remember them, and sync between devices.
I've finally gotten my SO to start using an Echo shopping list with me…we can each add things to it (either through the Echo verbally, or on our phones directly) and we can both see what's on it and cross things off.
Works pretty well. 🙂
Lot of Echo news and rumors…I'll be writing something in The Measured Circle pretty soon, and I'll link to it here. One thing: we are about to be able to say that it has "hundreds of Skills" (like apps) available for it.
It's been busy at work, though, and I'm working on another big project I hope to reveal in mid-February. Last night, I literally fell asleep while writing this post. 🙂 It was right about when it was time for me to go to bed anyway, but that was…interesting. 😉 It's one reason my SO is starting to convince me that I might want to retire some day…I want more time for writing!
AAP report doesn't split out mass market paperbacks from trade paperbacks
This report from the AAP (Association of American Publishers) was a particularly interesting one:
It says that revenue from book sales was down 2% in the first three quarters of 2015. E-book sales were down over 11%.
Why would that be?
There would be a number of factors, but as I've been noting in some of my analysis, Amazon's bestselling e-books don't tend to come from the kinds of publishers who would be part of the AAP.
They come from indies (independents), but also from Amazon's own traditional publishing imprints. I assume they aren't part of the AAP, although I don't know that for sure.
Intriguing to me was that they didn't separate out mass market paperbacks (the small ones I think most people still of as a paperback…about the size of your hand) and trade paperbacks, which are larger…they tend to be about the same height as a hardback novel/popular non-fiction.
The MMPs have been crashing in sales…e-books sort of took their niche of being relatively inexpensive and portable. So, the paperback category was up…but my guess is that was trade's gains overbalancing MMP's losses.
That's probably why they didn't separate this time, but have in the past.
I love this!
In this
The Guardian article by Alison Flood
a study is reported where mathematicians studied novels…and determined that they were not only subject to mathematical analysis, but had pretty specific results. They resembled fractals and multifractals.
I know some of you are running the other way, but I thought it was really cool!
You can suggest: the 100 essential non-fiction books
Still at the Guardian, this
invites readers to suggest essential non-fiction books. This is tied into Robert McCrum's new list, although it seems like that list is already finished.
I read a lot of non-fiction (although I read fiction as well…I read a lot of things).
That would be tough for me!
I'd have to really think about it, and what I wanted books on the list to do and be.
My first thoughts are to books which give insight into Homo sapiens, both as a species and individuals.
My first gut reaction would include:
- The Naked Ape by Desmond Morris
- The Book of the D*amned by Charles Fort
- Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond
- The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin
However, I then think I'd want my list to be broader…books that gave historical insight (in a different way than Diamond), for example.
Hmm…I'll have to think about that.
The Independent: "Can we guess how old you are based on the books you have read? Take the quiz"
It was fun to take the quiz in this
The Independent article by Roisin O'Connor
but apparently, at least the answer for me was, "No, you can't." 😉 They were way off…at least a third of my age off.
Of course, that makes me a bit happy…I like being atypical. 😉
You can give it a try…let me know if it works for you.
My guess is that it won't tend to work. A couple of years ago, I wrote
You're showing your age when you say, "You're showing your age"
It seems even more true to me now.
What do you think? What are the essential non-fiction books…and what does that mean? Have you been using your Echo for books…audiobooks or text-to-speech? What will be reported in Amazon's financials call? What would you have done with Amazon's first Superbowl ad? Feel free to tell me and my readers what you think by commenting on this post.

The first creature I saw when I boarded the Pisces was the Laughing Gull. Almost everyone who answered this survey said Sea Gull would be the first creature I would see. Good job! The gulls were flying all over the harbor. Ironically, this is the picture I chose to use in my first entry to this blog. Later that day I saw Dolphins, Mullet, a Brown Pelican, Sargassum, a Loggerhead Sea Turtle, Flying Fish, and Moon Jellies. Still waiting on a whale and the Lophelia. We have only been out a short time.
New survey. What do you think these are?

Fireman's outfit, pristine cello, 1 million sports cards
San Diego Reader Classified ads, December 4, 2019
3 p.m., Dec. 6
Well, Blair Cannon, 40, finished his 21-mile Catalina to mainland swim. He shoved off from Catalina Friday midnight, 8 hours and 17 minutes later washed ashore at Palos Verdes, finishing with the third-fastest time ever recorded, 12 minutes off the record. His plan was to raise $10,000 per mile, $210,000 total, for Monarch School and the Great Friends Foundation.
I reached him at his office Monday morning. He told me the latest money count is nearing $100,000. I wanted to know if the swim had gone as expected. Cannon said, "No. It was a really quick time. I would never have imagined that we could have pulled that kind of pace. There is nothing in my training or swimming background that would suggest I could have pulled that off... Inspiration at a level I hadn't experience before. I didn't wear a watch, and I never asked how we were doing until the sun came up at 5:30. They notified me that I was on the pace to break a world record."
The Box offers congratulations. Nicely done, lad.
Tiger Woods, 35, and getting older every day, finished the Bridgestone Invitational on Sunday. Naysayers will claim there was no cut at the Bridgestone so everybody finished, but that is mere detail.
Tiger finished 18 shots behind the winner, Adam Scott. The highlight of the tournament, and an exceptionally fine karmic moment as well, concerned caddie Steve Williams. Last month, after 12 years service, after 2 years hanging around waiting on his boss to play golf, Williams was fired by Mr. Woods. Thence, Williams took up bagman duties at the Bridgestone for the aforementioned Bridgestone tournament winner, Adam Scott. Williams describe the Bridgestone as, "...the greatest week of my life caddying, and I sincerely mean that."
We know you do.
This is another plot point in the unfolding of Tiger Woods made-for-TV public life. Wife, golf coach, caddie, sponsors have left Tiger as they had to in order to make way for Tiger Woods, The Man. ACT III. Redemption or Delusion?
What if Tiger continues to play golf at this midlist level, and that's it? PGATOUR.com ranks 261 players on their money list. The lowest is José María Olazábal, who has, so far, earned $6330 in 2011. The highest is Luke Donald, who claimed $4,293,248 year-to-date. Tiger Woods is ranked 106th, he's earned $629,863 since January 1.
For most of us, making $600,000 in seven months is good enough to pay the bills, provide toys, and fund exotic vacations. For Tiger, making $600,000 in seven months is a humiliation.
Now comes the redemption or delusion part. What if Tiger stays midlist and continues to play year after midlist year? Say, he plays 15 more midlist years. Tiger makes the cut some weeks, finishes fourth some weeks, misses the cut some weeks, but plays on. And on. And on. At what point, dare I say it, does he become a person to admire. You know, it takes courage to go out and be midlist in front of the world after you've been the Best Golfer Who Ever Lived.
Is that it? Or are we watching someone who is your normal gutless civilian but living an epic delusion, thinking next week he'll win, next week he'll break the course record, and the rest of the world knows he'll have to make do with a lousy $1 million-a-year for the rest of his midlist life?
The horror.
We're just two weeks away from the start of the 2011–2012 LFL season. LFL, by the way, stands for Lingerie Football League. The LFL has 12 teams split into an Eastern Conference and a Western Conference. They have a television contract with MTV2, who will broadcast 20 regular season games, plus two conference playoff games and a championship game. Listen up people, LFL Presents: Friday Night Football on MTV2 will premiere August 26 at 6 p.m. Green Bay vs. Minnesota (take Green Bay and the points).
Teams play two 17-minute halves on a 50-yard field. Each team fields seven players. It is sex, of course. Beautiful women in panties and bras playing tackle football. Can't get around that. But, at least for the games I've watched, the football is good, much better than I would have thought.
One last thing: the LFL announced a new business plan. It's forward-thinking, pace-sitting, the new sports standard. In order to create more jobs, the LFL will quit paying it's players. Last year players made something like $500 to $1200 per game. This year players work for the love of the game (and for whatever shake they can skim off the table).
No one has quit.
go getem gals!!!!
Finally, a rational reason to watch football! But wait, my visual stimulus center is inop.
Oh, how I would love to be a football in this league!

A beautiful good morning from Benton County to all you wonderful readers. This is my time of year. Thanks to Dr. and Mrs. Lew W. Dougherty and Mr. and Mrs. Harold Lowell for the nice compliments on my articles, but remember I love help.
With permission of Mr. Blanty Holladay's relatives and my research I will attempt to write about Lots 11 and 12.
Thomas H. Burton built a log storehouse on Lot 12. It was occupied by Burrell Beard, who was first postmaster of Camden and used this building.
In deed book A., Page 190, the Commissioners George Camp, Green Flowers, Ephrian Perkins, Lewis Brewer, and John F. Johnston sold Lots 11 and 33 to James and Christopher K. Wyly on October 16, 1839. On part of lot 11 C.K. built a two-story frame house where he and his family lived for several years. It burned around the middle of 1919. C.K. bought Lot 12 and continued the storehouse and post office. James Wyly took over after C.K.'s death and went bankrupt.
John Pafford bought the property and used it as his residence for several years. He sold lots 11 and 12 to Mr. G.B. Holladay. He sold to the Methodist Episcopal Church South in 1926. The Cornerstone was in place in 1927. The new building was completed in August 1929. This was used through Easter Sunday 1975. Sometime around August of 1977 the new sanctuary was in operation.
Mr. John Pafford was a good citizen and a devoted Methodist and grandson of John Pafford who founded the Flatwoods Methodist Church, and who was the first pastor there. He was interested in the church which was being built on the lot which he had once owned. One day while at the site, sitting on a wooden horse and watching the work going on, Mr. Pafford accidentally fell and broke his neck, dying from his injury. Following is the obituary of Mr. Pafford which appeared in the September 14, 1928, issue of the Camden Chronicle.
"A Pall of glum followed the announcement of the sudden death of one of Camden's most estimable citizens, John Pafford. Mr. Pafford sustained injuries in a fall which resulted in his death a few hours later. He is survived by his widow and four children, Mrs. J.B. Dinwiddie of Faxton, Rev. Knox Pafford of Dyer, W.C. Pafford of Rushing Creek, and Miss Mary Pafford; all whom were present at his funeral. Also a grandson Glendell Pafford and wife of Gates. Mr. Pafford had resided in our mist for a number of years and was highly esteemed as a law abiding and quiet citizen, who numbered his friends by his acquaintance. Camden realizes that is has lost a good citizen. The deceased was a man about 81 years of age and was born in the Flatwoods Community and the body was given burial there Wednesday. Funeral services were conducted by Revs. H.W. Davis and W.S. Lockman in the presence of one of the largest gatherings in the history of Flatwoods, where so many of the country's strong men have been laid to rest."
Thanks goes to Kelton Cuff for the obituary.
Thought for the week: Listening may be the most important thing you do today.

Another winter storm packing snow and Arctic cold slammed the northeastern United States on Tuesday, grounding 3,000 flights, shutting down governments and schools and making travel a potential nightmare for millions.
[singlepic id=141 w=450 h= float=center]
The storm stretched 1,000 miles between Kentucky and Massachusetts but hit especially hard along the heavily populated Interstate 95 corridor between Philadelphia and Boston, creating a perilous ride home for millions of motorists.
States across the northeast declared emergencies and warned residents not to travel during the fast-moving storm, which packed a potentially lethal combination of snow and wind, backed by temperatures up to 30 degrees Fahrenheit (17 degrees Celsius) below normal.
"Behind this system is a lot of strong winds, (with) very cold, bitter temperatures, so this snow is going to be around for a while," said Bruce Sullivan, senior meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
He warned that stranded travelers faced potential frostbite or worse. "That's the risk you take if you travel in this kind of weather," Sullivan said.
The snow came down harder and faster than many people expected. Forecasters said some places could get 1 to 2 inches an hour, with wind gusts up to 50 mph. A blizzard warning was posted for parts of Massachusetts, including Cape Cod.
Late in the afternoon, highways in the New York City metropolitan area were jammed, and blowing snow tripled or even quadrupled drive times.
The storm was blamed for at least one death in Maryland after a car fishtailed into the path of a tractor-trailer on a snow-covered road about 50 miles northwest of Baltimore. The car's driver was thrown from the vehicle.
Forecasters said the storm could bring 10 to 14 inches of snow to Philadelphia and southern New England and up to a foot in New York City, to be followed by bitter cold as arctic air from Canada streams in. Washington was expecting 4 to 8 inches.
This one was a conventional storm that developed off the coast and moved its way up the Eastern Seaboard, pulling in cold air from the arctic. Unlike the epic freeze of two weeks ago, it was not caused by a kink in the polar vortex, the winds that circulate around the North Pole.
Pennsylvania's Transportation Department said it had already blown through more than half of its $189 million winter weather budget.
About 3,000 airline flights in the United States were canceled, according to FlightAware.com, a tracking service. More than 1,000 flights for Wednesday were called off as well. The bad weather left thousands of air travelers wondering when they were going to get home.
"I rushed to the airport, but (my flight) just got canceled," said Sumeet Kapoor, 24, a North Carolina State University graduate student who was on his way from Washington's Reagan National Airport to Raleigh, North Carolina.
"I actually had a class at 6, but I'm going to be late, I guess," he said.
Amtrak planned to cut back train service in the afternoon.
The rush to get home early by many workers was evident in Philadelphia, where many commuter trains were packed.
The storm put a damper on New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's inauguration, forcing the cancellation of an evening party on Ellis Island. Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick postponed his annual State of the State address, while the Philadelphia Flyers postponed their Tuesday night hockey game.

Schools in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky stayed closed for an extra day after the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday, or sent students home early. Some parents kept their kids home all day, unwilling to put them on slippery roads for a few hours of school.
Federal workers in the Washington area were also given the day off.
In Herndon, Va., where voters were casting ballots in a special election that was likely to determine control of the state Senate, Earlene Coleman said she felt obligated to make her selection: "It only made sense to come out and do my duty."
Sullivan, the meteorologist, said the cold snap would be followed by two more polar fronts through the weekend. One would hit the Great Lakes region, and the other the upper Great Plains, he said.

There are a lot of iPhone games. Most of them are crap. A significant fraction are good. Few are great. Even fewer are great and original. Like this one might be!
The video you're seeing above is the opening stage of Sword & Sworcery EP, an iPhone adventure game due out H2 this year. It's got fantastically atmospheric music, a novel aesthetic, a rare control scheme, and most importantly, some kind of vision. A couple minutes of relatively eventless meandering are enough to hook me, which is rare for iPhone games that, in conceptual terms, tend to aim low.
Like this one! Gameloft's Zombie Infection looks fine, until you realise that it's a direct rip-off of Resident Evil 5. The control scheme is the same we've seen used in a lot of the company's other games - some of which are fantastic, by the way - and beyond the promise of a RE5-like gaming experience, and zombies, obviously, I'm seeing the same thing here as I saw with NOVA, or with Gangstar - a commodity game of questionable provenance. It may turn out to be fun, but that's the most it can really hope for.
Almost invariably, the iPhone games I love are the true originals, like Zen Bound or Noby Noby Boy or Spider. It's impossible to say if Sword & Sworcery will be one of those games, but it's clear that the developers' hearts are in the right place, which counts for a lot. [Touch Arcade]

Developing techniques for interactive visualization of highly complex data, derived from such sources as numerical modelling and simulations
Click to learn more about DIGISCOPE.
Development of the means of calculation and storage makes it possible to deal with the masses of increasingly large amounts of data and to model and simulate increasingly complex phenomena and systems. To analyse these data and calculations, it is essential to develop powerful tools that enable users to view and interact with them.
The impact of the project for the public is found in terms of the interactivity and connectivity with simpler, faster ways to view massive and complex data (e.g.: weather maps, road traffic, role-playing, etc.). It will also generate new approaches to telework.
This network will be unique in Europe and in the world because it will connect several complementary sites and remove major obstacles to collaboration.
This project is open to master's-level and doctoral students.
The impact of the project will be on the competitiveness of businesses and the responsiveness of decision-making, as well as on the creation of innovation in the areas of health, cinema, energy and transportation.

Comic Con Comic Book Movies – Well, 2013's San Diego Comic Con is officially over. Now begins the whining, sneezing and coughing as thousands of Geeks fall ill to the annual phenom Con Flu. Expect their whiney tweets to last at least 7 to 10 days. Know what's worse than Con Flu? Discovering that Doctor Who's Karen Gillan has SHAVED HER HEAD to play Nebula in Marvel Studios Guardians of the Galaxy film. [TheBeat]
Television – In attempts to create a better lead-in for Conan O'Brien's TBS talk show, American Dad will be moving to the network for its 11th season. Personally, I would rather watch Justin Bieber piss into a restaurant mop bucket than spend any time watching American Dad. I love Conan, but I have to draw the line somewhere. [Deadline]
Star Wars/Charity – Here's a photo of Castle cast member Molly Quinn unleashing her Cosplay Force for the SDCC Course for the Force charity event. A celebration of Star Wars, the course leads to Comic Con– and helps raise money and awareness for the Make a Wish Foundation. Check out the Course of the Force FAQ to learn more. I would be more inclined to join this cause rather than ever go to Comic Con.
Television – Speaking of Castle, lead actor Nathan Fillion is in the midst of a contract dispute with producers over his wanting a 4-day work week. The actor didn't show up on set Friday, presumably to show his distaste for his current work schedule. I adore Nathan Fillion, so I would tend to favour his side in this– but there's still a part of me which thinks he should just suck it up and go in… Or at least have Firefly castmate Adam Baldwin go to the production offices and knock some sense into them. [Deadline]
Video Games – The console war has evened out a bit– as Amazon sells out of both their PS4 and Xbox One preorders. I'm not likely to get either of these expensive boxes… So, to whichever console prevails– congratulations on winning one of the most unimportant battles in recorded history. [IGN]
Film – Actor Lucas Till is now confirmed to appear in X-Men Days of Future Past. Here's a list of some of the other great actors being brought back for director Bryan (Jack the Giant Slayer) Singer's X-Men return. [Deadline]
Comics – Harvey Awards nominees have been announced. While I'm hoping for a sweep by Brian K. Vaughn & Fiona Staples' comic series Saga, I think the more plausible outcome will involve a Scott Snyder & Greg Capullo Batman award avalanche. Check the list in the link and give your predictions– I'm curious to see who you think will win. [Comics Alliance]
Television – If you are a Sharknado fan, then you will be happy to hear Syfy is delivering Ghost Shark in August. Thomas Vitale, the cable net's vice president of programing and original content, states Ghost Shark was inspired by his 7-year-old daughter… Yeah, I wish I made this stuff up… Especially since Sharknado 2 is in the pipeline too. [Deadline]
Comics – I am soooo excited there's another Black Beetle mini-series coming. I just finished the first one and it was great. More Francesco Francavilla awesomeness heads your way this October. [Comics Alliance]
Film – DC's first Animated Film for 2014 will be based on the shitty Geoff Johns & Jim Lee New 52 Justice League comic book story arc. To add further excitement to this announcement, here's the film's massively mundane title: Justice League – War. Like Ian and Jose commented in the last IMJ Nation™ Podcast— I wonder if anyone will bother to upload this POS? [Comics Alliance]
Television – Apple is trying to convince networks to allow ad skipping on its Apple TV platform. This would be a premium service consumers would pay for– to compensate the network for lost revenues. Apparently networks are concerned customers will insist on only purchasing a la carte offerings, instead sticking with the incredibly stupid bundle packages currently offered.
Has the ineptitude of modern music moguls not taught anyone in the entertainment business anything? A la carte programming choices are the future– and the quicker the TV Networks and Studios accept this, the more money they will make when the dust settles. I would love to simply pick which shows and channels I watched. If consumers had this option, illegal downloading would most likely implode. [Deadline]
Television Consoles – Apple isn't the only company looking into adding TV services… Sony has filed a patent for something called Playstation TV. It's unknown exactly what kind of service Sony's got planned, but this lack of info won't stop all kinds of Geeks to start speculating. In short, don't believe everything you read… Most headlines are just Hit Bait. [IGN]
Direct to DVD – DC Comics is releasing a documentary called Necessary Evil on October 25th. (Yes, you read that correctly.) The film features interviews with creative types like Geoff Johns, Dan Didio and Guillermo del Toro— all discussing what makes the villains of the DC Universe so fascinating. Not so coincidentally, the "documentary" arrives just in time for DC Comics' Forever Evil comic book event. Aren't documentaries supposed to at least try to seem newsworthy… Instead of sounding so completely self-promotional? In any case, I doubt Ken Burns is losing any sleep over this announcement. [Comics Alliance]
Video Games – Pokemon Generations is the Pokemon game people have been wanting for a long, long time. The only catch? It's kinda illegal… Since it's not licensed at all. I'm past the novelty of Pokemon– but this video shows a game that looks like it would be great for new fans, or older gamers looking to reconnect with the series. [IGN]
Comics – Harley Quinn fans rejoice– your beloved crazy (and hopelessly sexy) clown is getting herself a brand new ongoing comic. Expect it to hit comic shop shelves by year's end. No artist has been announced yet, but the wife/husband team of Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti will be writing the series. And yes… I know every Power Girl fan just began praying for lightning to strike twice. [Comics Alliance]
Film – Unless you've been living under a rock for the last 24 to 48 hours, you know that Marvel's Avengers 2 film now has the subtitle Age of Ultron. Depending who you believe, the studio either 1) Just borrowed the title from Brian Michael Bendis' recent comic book series and the film's plot has nothing to do with that craptacular or 2) Bendis is getting an actual story credit– because, ya know, they are actually using his story.
OMG! Isn't this exactly how Avengers helmer Joss Whedon first became associated with Marvel films… After producer Avi Arad "borrowed" elements of Whedon's Astonishing X-Men comic book for the film X2: X-Men United? Then again, if ol' baldy Hacky McHackyStack finally fulfills his filmic ambitions… The comic book industry's loss may actually be comic book fans' gain.
Television – This new DC Wonder Woman short has a unique animation style, but shouldn't be hard to get used to. I love the expression of the guy at the end. [Comics Alliance]
Television – I grew up watching Power Rangers and loved the original series– but fell off it after that. That said, a Legacy Collectors Set celebrating the Rangers' first 20 years will be released soon. Limited to 2,000 sets, the shows will arrive in an iconic Red Ranger Helmet, presented in 1:1 scale.

Whether you're just going out for a drink, planning a cool trip, or solving horrible murders- a best friend can make any experience more fun. But although you may know who your best friend is- are you aware of exactly what type of BF they are? To help you make the determination here are 7 common types of Best Friends.
a.k.a "The Bad Influence"
Hey Buddy! Guess what time it is! What? No! Not time for you to finish that work. It's Shots'o'Clock. I understand it's due tomorrow- but what I understand it's due tomorrow- but what you don't seem to understand is that it is Shots'o'Clock. Sorry man- but just because you're my best friend doesn't mean I can change the fundamental laws of time and space and make it not time to go to this party.
I get it! I get it! You "can't". But the last time we pre-gamed with a power-hour and you ended up throwing up on that police horse you said, and I quote, "Never again." So we skipped the power hour! Or at least you did- and I'm not laying a guilt trip on you! That's me meeting you half way! So please don't make me seem like an idiot for assuming you'd do the same, and pound this beer and let's go!
We'll just have one drink and then we'll leave! Or maybe two or six. Whichever. We'll play it by ear. Which reminds me- have you ever tried absinthe?
a.k.a "The Brother from Another Mother"
Hey bro, I'm about to go grab something to eat, just wondering if you wanted a HERTZ DONUT?! Get it? 'Cause I punched you And said Hertz Donut which sounds like "hurts, doesn't it?" and What's up man? You used to think that joke was hilarious! That was like the single funniest thing that year in camp. Rmember when we set that canoe on fire with those fireworks my dad sent me? [sigh] Good times.
Seriously though- why so grouchy? Are you still upset about Sarah? Seriously man- forget her. She's not worth it. You're way better than she deserves- and I'm going to make a promise to you right now. If I see that slimy little jerk who snuck in there and thieved her away from you dude is getting head-butted.
That's not idle talk bro. I'm giving you one of my world famous- head butt guarantees. If I see him I will face smash his face with my face. It's gonna be a thunder-dome of domes. Two foreheads enter One forehead leaves. Well actually both probably leave but one is dinged up! Hopefully not mine but you never can tell. And I am willing to take that risk. Because I know that you only get one best friend- and TWO FOR FLINCHING!
a.k.a. "Your Other Half"
Morning roomie! Did you see that picture I posted on your wall? The Goat meme? I mean- I figured I could probably wait until you got up and show you but I was like, "Goat meme? Uuuuuh- You know who HAS to see this? My friggin' best BUD that's who!" Anyway- check it out. It's hilarious.
What was not hilarious? That stupid girl at the bar last night. The one who kept calling us the Wonder Twins. I was like, "Um We're obviously not twins dummy We're just wearing almost the exact same clothes". And why wouldn't we? If we've figured out the best possible thing to wear it's like- yeah we're definitely going to wear it. We'd be idiots not to. I mean, right? Don't you think so?
She got so heated when you told her she was just mad because she was dressed like a middle school bus driver. I didn't even totally get what that meant but it was clearly a third degree burn. Anyway- what are we up to tonight?
a.k.a. "The Swiss Army Friend"
Hey buddy. So I was thinking about your problem and I think you should turn tell them you're interested in the job- but that they've got to sweeten the deal a little before you sign anything. I did a little research and the market pays more than they offered you. No need to thank me- just looking out for my friend.
Are you still getting that couch this weekend? I'm telling you- do not waste your money on getting it delivered. It'll fit in my truck, or worst case scenario we can strap it to the roof and just hope we don't run into any cops. Yeah man, no sweat. What are friends for right?
Oh also- your friend Lisa still thinks my name is "Gunther". I didn't say anything at the time cause I didn't want to ruin your joke but we've all hung out like 3 times and then she and I got drinks and well I'm starting to feel like maybe it's creepy she doesn't know my name. I had been hoping maybe you'd tell her you were joking but don't sweat it! I'll take care of it. Gunther's got this one under control.
a.k.a. "The So-Close-Yet-So-SO-Far"
I can't believe he did this! He knew how important tonight was to me, and not only is he late he doesn't even call?! God! Guys are such pigs! Not you Tom. You're different I mean our almost not even a guy No! I didn't mean that in like an insulting way- I just mean you're not some old guy you're special.
But what about tonight?! Am I supposed to show up with no date? I'll look you like an idiot! I mean I guess I could bring you as my date I t might seem weird. People know how much I talk about you- I tell them, "My best friend Tom is literally the best guy in the world. Any girl would be really, really lucky to have him." So they'll probably see us show up and think "I knew it!." But that's just Hold on! Greg's calling!
Hello? Oh! No I hadn't noticed. Okay- well- hurry or else we're going to be really late. No, it's okay. No I do. No I do. Okay, bye.
Greg's coming! He just forgot it was tonight, but he's on his way. So I don't' need you to come after all. But thanks for the offer! You really are the best. You really are more than a just a friend. You're more like my brother, you know?
a.k.a. "The Super Casual and Depressing"
Oh! Hey there! How was your weekend? Anything exciting happen? You and the wife No wait- you're not married. Girlfriend? Dog? Iguana! That's right! Well I suppose you probably didn't do anything to exciting with that Iguana, but it was a beautiful weekend, huh?
So listen- about that game you have tickets for That's a really generous offer- but I feel like I wouldn't feel comfortable taking those tickets off your hand unless you let me give you some cash for them. I just- oh. We'd be going together. I see. I'm sorry- I totally misunderstood. Well- thanks! Again- very generous! But a once in a lifetime game like tonight- I feel like maybe you'd want to invite someone well I appreciate you saying that- and yeah we have gotten friendly. Sure. Friends yeah. Best friends? Boy That's uh That's quite the statement. I'm flattered. And uh honored. And uh a little sad. But sure- let's uh head to the game friend.
a.k.a. "The Psychotic Break"
They just don't get it. They don't see the beauty of a friendship like ours. "It's not healthy" they say. "You need to talk to someone about this." "You have to start taking your anti-psychotics again." But what they don't understand is no one gets you like I do. And to make them understand- you need to do the only logical, rational thing there is to do in a situation like this. Burn down the O.T.B. Sure- Dr. Leonard will be mad, but he's always mad anyway. And with any luck- by the time they find us the time travel pill will be perfected and we can go back to the one day that will set right the course of history and teach that old Smarty-Pants doctor he's not as smart as he thinks he is Yup. Oscar Night, 1974. And You and I will both make sure Randy Quaid gets that Oscar if it's the LAST thing we do. They think they can tell us we're too old for the ball pit? When We bought that cheeseburger just like all those other kids! Everyone may be against us- but at least we've got each other. Now let's go bite that mailman!

EDWARD STAMP: THE AUSTRALIAN CONNECTION by Robert Gibson Deakin University (Retired) There could be little dispute about the fact that the late Edward Stamp was inextricably involved with events surrounding the formation of the Accounting Standards Board as it came to be called in the United Kingdom. However, the power of his influence and the background driving his activities are matters of contention. This note suggests that commentators, while focusing on the United Kingdom, may have overlooked an important factor in the Australian connection. J.R. Edwards, in a paper initially prepared for the Festival of Accounting 1994 in Edinburgh, endeavored to survey "Financial Accounting Practice 1600-1970." Edwards refers to Stamp's interview by an editorial writer for the financial section of The Times. Edwards asserts correctly that the accountancy profession was shaken by Stamp's criticisms published in The Times, September 11, 1969. In Stamp's own words, he had reckoned without the peculiar and penetrating impact of The Times on the British Establishment1. Edwards implies that an academic article written by Stamp, critical of accounting and the accounting profession, was a starting point, but does not precisely identify the article. It is possible to suggest an earlier starting point in Australia in 1965, but first it is necessary to provide a brief historical note. In 1961, the Australian economy had experienced a downward cycle. Unemployment reached a level unknown since the Great Depression. The Commonwealth government survived an election with a majority of one. Ironically, that majority was secured by preference votes from a Communist can- 1Stamp, 1981, p. 234 didate to ensure the election of (now Sir) James Killen, a member of the ruling Liberal Party, which is the principal alternative to the trade union based Labour Party. Financial events led to a number of significant corporate collapses. Subsequently, inspectors were appointed by the regulatory authorities to inquire into these financial events. The resulting reports were highly critical of accounting matters and considered accounting practices pertinent to the collapses. The regulatory reports were regarded as sufficiently damaging such that the larger of the two professional groups covering the accounting profession produced a report which canvassed the issues and sought to create an awareness among its members of a need for change. This publication was still nearly a year away at the time of the events involving Edward Stamp. The reports of the inspectors were public documents protected from defamation action by virtue of being tabled in the Parliament. On the other hand, local academics were constrained from any detailed discussion of the issues because prosecutions were in progress and any comment involved a high risk of facing contempt of court proceedings. The Australian legal system takes a very serious view of such issues. An overseas visitor might reasonably be less concerned about these risks. It would be possible to have left the country before the authorities could become aware of alleged contempt and do anything about it. Edward Stamp was a senior lecturer at Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand, when he travelled to Melbourne in 1965 to attend the meeting of the Australian Association of University Teachers of Accounting (AAUTA) now the Accounting See STAMP on page 30 The Accounting Historians Notebook, Fall, 1995 23

88 per cent of crop in bin in SE Sask
September 28, 2017 11:24 am
Harvest has slowed in the southeast Saskatchewan due to scattered rain showers throughout the week.
Eighty-eight per cent of the crop is now in the bin, slightly up from 86 per cent last week and well ahead of the five-year (2012-2016) average for this time of year of 77 per cent according to Saskatchewan Agriculture's weekly crop report.
Crops such as flax, sunflowers and soybeans will need more time to dry before producers can continue with harvest.
Rain was welcomed in the region last week to help replenish topsoil moisture and allow for fall cereals to germinate and emerge. However, significant rain is still needed to replenish the subsoil for next year.
Rainfall last week ranged from trace amounts to 29 mm in the Maryfield area. The Alida area has reported the most precipitation (240 mm) in the region since April 1.
Topsoil moisture conditions continue to significantly improve with the recent rain. Topsoil moisture on cropland is rated as 27 per cent adequate, 38 per cent short and 35 per cent
very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as 22 per cent adequate, 33 per cent short and 45 per cent very short.
Most crop damage this past week was due to strong winds and lack of moisture. Frost was reported but damage is minimal as remaining crops were advanced enough. Many pastures have been overgrazed and some producers have turned cattle out onto hay and stubble fields. Post-harvest herbicide applications continue on those fields that have active weed growth.

(CBS Local) — Thicker, denser, more distinct eyebrows may reveal a lot about a person's psyche.
According to new research published in the Journal of Personality, it turns out that maintaining distinctively thick and well-groomed eyebrows are more likely to be the brows of narcissists than their thinner-eyebrow counterparts.
The study, called "Eyebrows Cue Grandiose Narcissism," was conducted by taking facial photographs of volunteers who had taken a test called the Narcissistic Personality Inventory, which is used to measure a person's personality on the scale of subclinical to grandiose narcissism.
They then cropped the photographs so that only the independent coders could rate the eyebrows on a series of qualities, including grooming, distinctiveness and femininity.
From there, they correlated eyebrow ratings to participants' self-reported narcissism and found that the more distinctive the eyebrow, the higher the score for grandiosity.
So what's the connection between thick eyebrows and narcissism? Researchers believe it comes from a desire to be aesthetically unique and recognizable.
"Eyebrows facilitate facial recognition," Giacomin, one of two authors of the study, told The Independent. "Narcissists may maintain distinct, thick, and dense brows to enhance recognition, which they are motivated to attain," she explained.

written by: Percy
review by: Timothy M
This short story about two employees in a law office is like a small box of exquisite chocolate with an elegant mixture of the bittersweet moments of reluctant attraction. Ian, whose POV we follow, is thirty-something and in an open relationship with a man much like himself. However, to his own annoyance he is attracted to Curtis, who he describes as one of those 'fey, flamboyantly gay, almost girlish men.' The disdain Ian displays at first is shown by the disapproving descriptions of the colorful clothes Curtis wears and his general looks and manners.
Yet, the encounters Ian has with Curtis gradually make him (and us) view Curtis in a new light and engender respect for his competence and poise. My favorite scene is probably the food flirt – which is not what you might think. The questions and comments from sharp-witted Curtis lead to Ian re-evaluating his life and whether he is actually happy right now. There is no cut and dried HEA, and, like me, you may end up wishing for more. Perhaps one day Percy will take up the tale of Ian and Curtis, but until then we'll have to savor what's in well-crafted little tale.

1912's Race to the South Pole: Who Were the Players in the Great Race?
Antarctic Mania is seizing the world as we sit in the middle of the 100th anniversary of Rouald Amundsen's winning of the race to the South Pole, on December 14, and Robert Falcon Scott's arrival on January 17.
Every magazine and website has been writing articles about the heroes and villains of the great era of Antarctic exploration. Having been obsessed with the place for years, I will try and explain who the players are.
In later years, he was reported to have had an affair with Scott's widow Kathleen (denied vociferously by the Scott family) but did most definitely have one with Brenda Ueland, to whom he sent seriously NSFW photos that have been published in a recent book by Eric Utne.
In fact, in Norway right now, if you send a revealing photo of yourself, you are "Doing a Nansen."
Roald Amundsen was the first person to get through the Northwest Passage in 1906, and was preparing for an assault on the North Pole when he found out that Peary and Cook beat him to it. (it is likely that neither did, they were both lying toads and charlatans). So he turned his boat around (Nansen's lovely little Fram), sent a telegram to Robert Scott, who was planning a British expedition, saying BEG TO INFORM YOU FRAM PROCEEDING ANTARCTIC--AMUNDSEN and booted it south. I described his attack on the South Pole earlier in Treehugger,:
Amundsen went to the South Pole the way the Americans went to the moon: design a trip to take as little as possible and throw everything you don't need anymore away when you are done. In space, it was the lunar module; for Amundsen, is was the dogs. You get there fast, but you don't leave much of a legacy.
He spent his winter shaving his skis, developing new faster ways to set up camp and to get food out of crates (putting twist-off lids on the tops) and working the dogs. When he would lay in a depot of supplies for the return, he would place flags for a mile on either side with labels telling how far to go, so that it was almost impossible to miss.
His was a fast and relatively comfortable dogsled ride to the pole and back.
If Amundsen was Apollo 11, Robert Falcon Scott was the International Space Station; a big expensive mission, with scientists and meteorologists instead of dog trainers and ski pros. He even brought newfangled snowmobiles, one of which promptly crashed through the ice and sunk. He did serious work, even on the slog to the pole. He and his men died on the return journey; Robert Gonzales lists 10 Mistakes That Caused the Most Punishing Nature Expedition in History in IO9. Scott even has the gall to blame his own men:
"Skis are the thing," Scott would lament in a diary entry written during his doomed journey, "and here are my tiresome fellow countrymen too prejudiced to have prepared themselves for the event".
As I note in TreeHugger, his reputation suffered severely in revisionist histories:
Anyone who has read Roland Huntford's 1979 book Scott and Amundsen: The Race to the South Pole is pretty much convinced that Amundsen was an exploring genius, learning from the Inuit how to dress, how to eat, how to use dogs and travel in comfort and style, and that Scott was a fool who used horses and automobiles unsuited for the campaign, and had nobody to blame but himself for his death. The Sunday Telegraph review said "In death, Scott became immortal. Now his reputation and character are torn to shreds." In the Spectator, they wrote "the plaster saint has been smashed forever!"
But in recent years, Scott's reputation has had a significant rehabilitation, thanks to the writing of Ranulph Fiennes in Captain Scott and Susan Solomon in the Coldest March, who blames the weather. Fiennes is particularly scathing of author Roland Huntford, but frankly, in my opinion, does not succeed in putting Scott back on a pedestal. Read more on this in One Hundred Years Ago Today: Scott Going South To the Pole, Amundsen Going North and Home.
Ernest Shackleton is everyone's favourite Antarctic explorer. Charming and handsome, Management consultants write books like "Shackleton's way" and The New York Times just did glowing coverage of him in Leadership Lessons From the Shackleton Expedition.
No matter that he was thought by some as a quitter for stopping his challenge for the South Pole just 114 miles away, and never got to make his next big journey across the Antarctic because his ship got caught and crushed in the ice. (He had been warned not to go because of lousy ice conditions). Yet they run leadership programs based on his actions.
At its simplest level, Shackleton's story is about 28 guys shipwrecked in Antarctica. But it's really about so much more than that. It's about how do you get the best out of your team? How do you stay motivated?
Puleeze. Boswell was a better management consultant 150 years before Shackleton: "Depend upon it, sir, when a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully"
But nonetheless, after this colossal failure, he redeemed himself to history by making an amazing journey in a small boat to South Georgia Island, then climbing over the whole island to get to a whaling station, find a boat and rescue every one of his men. If Amundsen was Apollo 11, then Shackleton was Apollo 13.
When it comes to courage and dedication and heroism, nobody can touch Douglas Mawson. Setting off on a survey and geological expedition with two other men, One fell into a crevasse, taking six dogs and almost all of their rations and their tent, never to be seen again. The two who were left sledged for 27 hours straight to get a spare tent and started eating the remaining dogs for food. They ate everything, even crunching the bones, until nothing remained. Then they started getting sick; according to Wikipedia:
There was a quick deterioration in the men's physical condition during this journey. Both men suffered dizziness; nausea; abdominal pain; irrationality; mucosal fissuring; skin, hair, and nail loss; and the yellowing of eyes and skin. Later Mawson noticed a dramatic change in his travelling companion.
Mertz seemed to lose the will to move and wished only to remain in his sleeping bag. He began to deteriorate rapidly with diarrhoea and madness. On one occasion Mertz refused to believe he was suffering from frostbite and bit off the tip of his own little finger. This was soon followed by violent raging—Mawson had to sit on his companion's chest and hold down his arms to prevent his damaging their tent. Mertz suffered further seizures before falling into a coma and dying on 8 January 1913.
The Inuit know better than to eat dog liver; it has a toxic amount of Vitamin A. Metz was a vegetarian and had trouble eating the tough meat, so he evidently ate more of the soft liver.
Mawson travelled alone for another 100 days, falling into crevasses, (his sled caught in the opening and saved him) starving, barely making it back, only to find that the relief ship had left a few hours before, and he had to wait another entire year to get home. An amazing story, told in Mawson's Will: The Greatest Survival Story Ever Written.
Then there is Apsley Cherry-Garrard, the youngest to travel with Scott. He was rejected because he didn't have any notable skills for or experience, just a gentleman who wanted to go. He promised to donate £1,000 (like $ 50,000 today) if he was taken; they rejected him anyways. He donated anyways, and "Struck by this gesture, and at the same time persuaded by Dr Edward 'Bill' Wilson, Scott agreed to take Cherry as assistant biologist."
He did some terrible trips in the name of science, shattering most of his teeth from shivering. But the most important thing that he did was to write The Worst Journey in the World, one of the best books I have ever read, and available free for your Kindle or Kobo here. The first line of the book:
Polar exploration is at once the cleanest and most isolated way of having a bad time which has been devised.
He also demeans his own skills as a writer:
When I went South I never meant to write a book: I rather despised those who did so as being of an inferior brand to those who did things and said nothing about them. But that they say nothing is too often due to the fact that they have nothing to say, or are too idle or too busy to learn how to say it. Every one who has been through such an extraordinary experience has much to say, and ought to say it if he has any faculty that way.
He never recovered from his journey; he was depressed and sick, and refused to have children in case they inherited his mental illness, but he left a legacy much greater.
There are, of course, many others, from Herbert Ponting to Edward Wilson, who all deserve a page. It was, as Cherry-Gerrard notes, the worst journey in the world. TreeHugger Eva went there more recently, and did a wonderful series of posts and slideshows:

Second Week in September
Up to now most of the plants that have been in bloom along our roadsides have been Eurasian weeds that have crowded out our native plants. But in late summer and fall, our indigenous plants come into their own and decorate our roadsides and fields.
The flamboyant, iridescent golden chenille plumes of Canada Goldenrod (Solidago canadensis), more common west of Lake Michigan, and Tall Goldenrod (Solidago altissima), more common east of the lake, are dazzling along our roadsides now. Our most common goldenrods, they grow abundantly in fields, roadsides, disturbed prairies, pastures, and disturbed open woods. Gorgeous, but too aggressive for a garden.
Goldenrod has been wrongly accused of causing hay fever, but Common Ragweed and Giant Ragweed (Ambrosia artemisifolia and Ambrosia trifida), which disburse their pollen through the air at the same time goldenrod is in bloom, are the real culprits. Plants with showy flowers, such as goldenrod, are insect pollinated–their pollen does not blow through the air; while plants with inconspicuous blossoms, such as grasses and ragweed, are wind pollinated.
More Goldenrod
This is the September Prairie at Christ the Lord Lutheran Church in Elgin with Canada Goldenrod at the back and Showy Goldenrod (Solidago speciosa) and Stiff Goldenrod (Solidago rigida) along with Rough Blazing Star (Liatris aspera) and Heath Aster (Aster ericoides) in the foreground
The little tufted golden daisies of Stiff Goldenrod are arranged in flat corymb clusters at the top of 1-5' stems that reflect the flat prairie.
Common in dry to moist prairies, Stiff Goldenrod also works well in the garden. Plant it at the back of a south-facing border; use it to accent a built object–stone walls are always great. It begins to bloom in late August and continues through September. It's especially attractive to Painted Lady butterflies, in my observances.
Showy Goldenrod has an entirely different look. Its even smaller golden daisies are arranged in a cylindrical plume. It is frequent in sandy Black Oak savannas, but it will also grow in dry or mesic prairies. It makes a good subject for the home garden, as well; it grows 1-3' tall–plant it in the middle of the border. It's an aggressive seeder, but I welcome all new plants. It, too, begins to bloom late August and continues through September.
In September, 2008, the stars aligned just right, and Showy Goldenrod and Rough Blazing Star bloomed concurrently in our church prairie, an absolutely stunning combination! (In most years, Rough Blazing Star finishes bloom just before Showy Goldenrod begins.) In nature, both grow together in sandy Black Oak savannas and dry prairie remnants. I urge you to plant them together in your garden within a matrix of Little Bluestem.
Rough Blazing Star (Liatris aspera) is not as well known as its earlier blooming cousin, Prairie Blazing Star (Liatris pycnostachya), but it is equally gorgeous. Its rose-purple flower tufts spill out of large cups arranged in an open fashion alternately around the 1-3' stem in August and September. Like all Blazing Stars, the flower spikes start to bloom from the top down instead of from the bottom up as most other spike flowers do.
This photograph was taken early in September in 2009 at the Morton Arboretum. Rough Blazing Star is planted at the top of a bank near the edge of a pond within a matrix of Little Bluestem in its fall/winter copper dress–a ravishing pairing!
Another butterfly magnet, I've noticed many Sulfurs enjoying the nectar.
Heath Aster (Aster ericoides), so-named because its tiny, stiff, narrow leaves resemble those of Heath, has also started its fall bloom. Its diminutive, 1/4" diameter, gold-centered stars form dense plumes at the top of stiff 1-3' stems in September through early October. It makes dense patches in prairie and garden through its creeping rhizomes.
Don't confuse it with the weedy Hairy Aster (Aster pilosus) found in old fields, pastures, waysides, and degraded prairies. Hairy Aster is larger than Heath Aster–up to 4' tall–with larger flowers, and well, hairy.
These plants are all members of the Sunflower family. To learn more, check out The Sunflower Family in the Upper Midwest by Thomas M. Antonio, a former Research Botanist & Suzanne Masi, a current Research Botanist, both at the Chicago Botanic Garden.
Pick up the current September-October issue of Chicagoland Gardening. An article called Chicagoland Natives, Late Summer Stars, on page 24, features a photo of the front and side of my Sears bungalow surrounded by clusters native asters taken last September. The article was written by April Anderson, the Naturalist at Elgin's Hawthorn Hills Nature Center.

The next Sinjar-type operation to clear the PKK from key population centers in Iraq is about to take place in the Christian Assyrian and Yazidi villages of the Nahlah region in Dohuk Province.
This is another area that is under the KRG's nominal administrative control and protection—and which the KRG has failed to both administer and protect.
Why has the KRG proved unable to fulfill these basic duties? And, for that matter, why has the
Iraqi government failed to fight the invading forces of the PKK, which have crossed into Iraq from Turkey?
The unfortunate reality for Assyrian and Yazidi forces currently operating in Iraq is that all their casualties—dead, wounded, missing, and captured—have been sustained in fighting with the KRG or other Kurdish groups in area they control. At the same time they have suffered members of their communities being taken into ISIL captivity but the Kurdish have not suffered the same faith in the same areas.
Relatedly, the Assyrian International News Agency (AINA) filed the following report on 23 NOV 15:
"Members of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militia entered and occupied eight Assyrian villages in north Iraq yesterday. The villages are Hezani, Belmand, Khalilane, Zoly, Kashkawa, Meroke, Rabatke, and Upper Hezani. All the villages are in areas controlled by the Kurdish Regional government of north Iraq.
"One of the homes occupied in Upper Hezani belongs to Emmanuel Khoshaba Youkhana, the leader of the Dwekh Nawsha Assyrian fighting force.
"All of the villages are still under occupation.
"Assyrian leaders fear that Turkey will bomb the villages to drive the Kurdish fighters out, and destroy the villages in the process."

Email Manners and Ed Vaizey
14 comments:
This is probably a case of simple ignorant rudeness but for others and, who knows, this man also, I think there is an unfortunate confusion in their understanding of these changing times. It is perhaps thought that it is now the done thing to do away with such archaic and embarrassing things as politeness....this is the modern, sophisticated, lean and mean way. What need have us enlightened souls of these relics of the past? I remember a very good example of such a misreading when I, quite recently was a caddie in a very expensive golf-course in Ireland. Two salt of the earth , semi-elderly men were getting on great with the four well to do middle-aged ladies they were to caddie for when one of the men asked the women, "Did ye watch the Late Late last night?(A very prominent tv talk show) "No" amidst much laughter. "Twas all about vaginas." Icy unbroken silence followed for some distance. The poor man had made a fatal misjudgement of modern Ireland. Though in the politician's case, I'd say it's simple ingorance.ReplyDelete

I'm sorry, but "in plain sight"? Where? It is not on the current page, nor in the 'previous posts', and a quick whip through selected articles didn't throw it up. I'm not sure if the archives are in plain sight. Please correct me if I am wrong, but perhaps if you put a search function onto your site your articles might be easy to find.ReplyDelete
I do however agree that Vaizey comes across as a bore/boar.
Bryan, how does one spell the word 'prat'? Does it have a double t? Thi man you described reminds me of this word. Of course, it comes down to uber-ego. He just thinks he's the bee's knees and that all others are plebs.ReplyDelete
Follow the link on my post, Matthew, or it now comes up under archive- November. I did try the blogger search facility but it screwed up what I believe is called the 'skin' of my blog.ReplyDelete

Writing as a naval man, I can only deplore Vaizey's lack of manners. I sincerely hope that you have not/will not reply to him. Ask yourself 'who needs who'? I shall take up the matter of his rudeness to our most eminent cultural commentator with one of the Tory Whips tomorrow. He went to Eton by the way. The mask, not of the trout, falls. Any rats going?ReplyDelete
Eton! Good lord, what do they teach there these days?ReplyDelete
- dark heartNovember 28, 2006 11:36 am
Better yet, the friends of Bryan might like to send strap-line emails to Vaizey asking 'what is Tory arts policy?'ReplyDelete
Stone me! I did respond to the original Vaizey mail with a link to the post. He just replied with the following message. 'that;s it'. That is the complete message and the punctuation is accurate. I have no referred him to this post and its comments.ReplyDelete
And now this:ReplyDelete
Anyway, I've been nice about you on my blog."
He is, indeed, very nice on his blog. However, the previous Vaizey post suggests he should absorb some of his own wisdom. I quote:
"Conventions may seem archaic, but they are important. Refer to Members as Members, not by their first name. Address your remarks through the Speaker. Be present at the opening and closing of a debate in which you take part, and for the speech that follows yours. New Labour has already downgraded Parliament. It's important to keep what remains, which is little more than common courtesy."

Interestingly, to speak of one's "member" in the U.S. has a completely different meaning! Ask Frank if you don't twig it, Bryan.ReplyDelete
BTW, will you please do a post on rhyming Cockney if you know what I'm talking about(I'm sure you do)? This is linguistically fascinating to me and yet I can't seem to find anybody who knows much about it. Is it cause none of you Brits on here are Cockney or linguists?
Spanish waiter, darlin'! Zette
Hello again,ReplyDelete
I don't recommend the blogger search facility. If the blogger template allows you to get a google search box for your blog, that's what you need. It will just search your blog (full text), not whisk you off to Technoarti so you have to stare at Ariana Huffington while you don't get any returns, or simply not work like the blogger search. I installed such a google widget on my blog but that is hosted by Typepad, not sure if you can put in on Blogger. But if you click on my name you'll go to my blog - see sidebar. On that google search box is a link to the site I got that from. Highly recommended.
Second, this emailing thing. Isn't it just marketing? If you are sending a marketing (mass) email, which this presumably is, then the main goal of the marketeer is to get you to open it. ie put something in the subject line that is most likely to make the reipient open it. Then you get the message, which in this case was the name and constituency of the MP concerned, and his payoff is that you've written all that in your blog so more people have heard of him and his constituency.
I don't suppose Mr V cares one way or the other about the death of print and whether you have written about it, or that he himself sent the email, but I am happy to be de-cyniced if you can correct me on either count.

Welcome to InterNations, the network for expatriates in Cairns and elsewhere in the world! Through InterNations, expats like you are able to get in touch with and meet other professionals from around the world who are living and working in Cairns. Using the InterNations network of expats enables you to socialize with people with similar interests to yourself. You can join the internet forums and discussion groups and correspond with fellow expats on a one-to-one basis. Through the InterNations network you can find expatriates already living in Cairns who can advise on what life is like in Cairns, or you can share your experiences and useful information with other expats from around the globe who are moving to Cairns in the near future.
Get trustworthy advice and local insights from fellow members in our Australia expat forums.
Cairns, or as the indigenous Aboriginal Yidinji tribe call it, Gimuy, is the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, the Daintree Rainforest, and the cooler Atherton Tablelands inland to the southwest, and it is an ideal location for families. Moving to a new city in a different part of the world, however, can be isolating and difficult. The InterNations network can help you during the transition period and beyond to make new friends and settle in to your new life. The Expat Magazine is designed to help not only expats moving to Cairns, but it is of interest to anyone working abroad. The magazine gives advice on insurance, banking, social security, culture shock, as well as general advice on managing moves abroad and settling in, helping to reduce the stress of relocation. With such a wide range of topics, the magazine is sure to interest you, so take the time to read through its articles to be ideally prepared for moving to Cairns and joining the expatriate community there!
The InterNations network is an ideal way to find information on working in Cairns, and its membership is continuously expanding; so if you need help at all, there will be someone to advise on Cairns, its culture and the working opportunities available. International global networking is possible through InterNations, helping you to find similar professionals with information on relocating to new jobs abroad, and the experience of working in Cairns and elsewhere. Using the InterNations platform puts you in touch with fellow countrymen working in Cairns who can give you information on anything from business etiquette to the cultural differences and work practices you may encounter. Socializing with expats from around the globe establishes business contacts and a network of friends with which to enjoy the fantastic Great Barrier Reef, or the swimming lagoon and marina. Perhaps you might want to organize, or be a part of a trip on the Kurunda train and skyrail, taking you and your new-found friends on a day to remember!

HP introduced a cool All-in-One PC dubbed Touchsmart this summer. The Touchsmart is actually ahead of the Apple iMac as it features a touchscreen.
The HP TouchSmart systems feature HP software designed to be operated with the touch of a finger. Users can watch TV, create playlists, listen to music and check weather and email without using a mouse or keyboard.
The HP TouchSmart is pretty nicely configured to run Windows Vista.
There are two main models of the HP TouchSmart with the IQ504 and the IQ506. The HP TouchSmart 506 series features TV and PVR hardware and software and the 504 does not have these media features.
The best selling HP TouchSmart is the IQ506 on Amazon.com. The configuration of that TouchSmart include 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T5850 Processor, 4GB RAM, 500GB Hard Drive, DVD Drive and Vista Premium.
Measurements of the TouchSmart are 21"(W) x 2.6" (D/L) x 17.4" (H) approx.
For Whom:
For people who like cool cutting edge products, but are not necessarily Apple OS X fans and would rather stick with Windows. The TouchSmart looks great and can nicely pretty up a home office, living room or an executive desk.
The Good:
Powerful All-In-One PC
The Bad:
Windows Vista
Difficult to upgrade
Where to Buy:
The HP TouchSmart sells in various configurations on Amazon.com. The IQ506 sells for $13,99.99 on Amazon.com. The IQ504 sells for $1,199.99 on Amazon.com. Compare Prices on other retailers here. See also the HP shop for easy customization.
