Geeta Kapur's article on Husain Judgment
This High Court Judgment is enlightened not only because it redeems faith in the judiciary's fair mindedness but in the fact of a lived modernity, in the modernity project of India as a nation and its immediate corollatry, secular worldview-- both seen to be essential to sane survival in this country.
Judge Kaul in a remarkably consistent and committed 75 pages of the judgement maintains an argument that all of us including artists and intellectuals can identify with. It is a call for the application of mind in the judicial sense of that term but also a call for an application of mind with regard to cultural creation, visual literacy and the play of imagination—to be able to recognize its stylistic modes and its inherently metaphorical nature; the ability to read conceptual allusions outside of familiar conventions as eg of Bharat Mata. Even these conventions themselves are as recent as the nationalist period of Indian history when the iconography served an immediate function of arousing /celebrating patriotism.
Husain is the only modern artist to be interested in nationalism in the patriotic sense of that term; to engage with the anachronistic lineage of a figure like Bharat Mata. And he does so because he has
| assumed since the early 50s a role that identifies him with the nation, the state, the people as one whole. Other Indian artists have lost faith, become cynical,, moved on to other thematics and indeed to standing mythic iconography on its head from a position of aesthetic playfulness and even critical irreverance.
Husain believes in taking Indian iconography on a long march—dislodging it from its traditional moorings and bringing it into contemporary times and he does so in the spirit of a fellow-traveller—a fellow traveller of the mythic figures, as he is of the common men and women, as they come to be together transformed from civilizational into national aspirations. Husain is the only artist to offer an imaginative rendering of potential identities—to gods, and humans in a democratic society; the only artist to have believed to this day that civilization and nation coalesce and produce new and ever newer players in the field of culture and these include artists and the creatures of their imagination that have to speak in a language of their own time and place. Husain has sought a contemporary figurative language to create this great carnival—and its is only the guilt and shame of intermediaries, cultural and political dalals manipulating the middleclass to states of envy, greed, insecurity and hatred that obstructs and distorts this generous faith.
If Husain has to be criticized it may that he has been naïve in investing this faith in the wholesomeness of the national project and while his optimism has been smashed by the non-believers—it is our task to redeem—if not that childlike leela of Husain's creation then at least some sense of dignity in the name of Indian democracy and indeed the Indian State: Judge Kaul has taken a significant step in restoring that dignity on behalf of all of us.

We build warriors for today's world
The Traditional Martial Art
Mr. Porco began his martial arts journey over 50 years ago in 1965. He started training as a young teen-ager under the instruction of Master Robert Beaudoin in an old college gym in Bridgeport, Ct. By the age of 17 he was teaching weekly classes at Sacred Heart Univ. and continued his training until being drafted into the military and thereupon serving his country in Vietnam. While there, his leadership and team work abilities were ever present. During his service Mr. Porco was involved in the U.S.' first entrance into occupied Cambodia. This accomplishment lead to his receiving the U.S. Army's distinguished Bronze Star Medal for meritorious achievement in ground operations against hostile forces. Although his physical martial arts training may have been on pause, his mental training with the emphasis on small details and the unique ability to lead people began to take shape.
His time away from Tang Soo Do eventually led him back to his old instructor and revived his regular training. Once involved he began the instruction of his son in the basement of their home. Mr. Porco was soon instructing large classes again and with his own determination and drive, decided to run a continuous martial arts school. He opened the Woodbury Academy of Karate in Connecticut and soon learned his true talents lye in the education of others in the art of Tang Soo Do. While there, he honed not only his teaching skills but his high level of physical ability as well. Mr. Porco earned his first-degree black belt and was on his way to one of the most respected martial arts careers in the region.
His love for teaching others the art of Tang Soo Do grew stronger during this time and planted an internal seed within him to expand the ever-growing martial arts community. So in 1986 he opened the Newtown Academy of Karate, which is still in its original location. Mr. Porco's love for karate permeated through everything he did and everyone he has come in contact with. Citing that love and passion, he was selected to represent his art and the World Tang Soo Do Association as a member of the 1987 China delegation. He was chosen in part to represent all that he and his students stood for.
Today, Mr. Porco continues to run the thriving Porco Karate Academy in Newtown. Through its development many classes and programs have been added to better service the needs of the over one hundred students currently enrolled. Many of the programs and activities that Mr. Porco has instituted for the development of Tang Soo Do continue to exist and grow today. These activities include woman's self- defense, karate summer camps, demonstrations and numerous Tang Soo do Clinics. Because of Mr. Porco's deep-rooted beliefs, extreme hard work and true genuine honesty, everyone who passes through his doors walk away a better person.
Mr. Porco received his master's rank at the World Tang Soo Do Championship in August, 2002 and was honored as August 2003 Master of the Month on the World Tang Soo Do Website. In his "Spare" time he continues to preside over three of his successful companies that he started from scratch and is very active in community affairs. His greatest enjoyments are spending quality time with his family and teaching the Newtown community the great art of Tang Soo Do.

CME: Feeder Cattle Contract for August, September 2020 Translate to Nice Profit13 January 2020
US - Time to start planning: Heading into spring, summer grazing programmes should take note of the feeder cattle futures board, writes Steiner Consulting Group, DLR Division, Inc.
The feeder cattle contract for both August and September 2020 is above $155 per cwt, which for many summer grazing programmes would translate to a nice profit.
This opportunity may be short-lived, though. If we think back to last year, the Feeder cattle contract started the year near $150 before moving higher in April where the daily close reached above $160 per cwt.
However, after that high both contracts that could have been hedged against fell rapidly through July due to surging feedstuff prices, and bottomed after the Holcomb, KS packing plant fire with both contracts in the $130s at the time those yearlings would normally be pulled off grass.
For calves bought in the second quarter of last year, let's take the Southern Plains for example, producers had the opportunity to lock in gross margins in excess of $200 per head (750 lb steer, $160 per cwt less calf cost of 550 lb steer at $180 per cwt). The grazing opportunity last year was exceptional, and inexpensive gains per day were had for most regions.
There is no guarantee that grazing conditions will be as good as last year, but from a hedging perspective the current August and September contacts likely pencil out some decent profits for most of the US. The Livestock Marketing Information Center is currently forecasting 700-800 lb. steers in the Southern Plains to be in the high $140s to low $150s per cwt in the third quarter.
The feeder cattle futures market is likely pricing in strong cattle feeding returns, good forage conditions, and appear more optimistic regarding feed costs than the current December 2020 corn futures suggest.
Strong cattle feeding returns will rely on fed prices, which the live cattle futures board are pricing in strong demand for beef overseas, as well as by-passing a US recession for another year. These are big caveats to cash fed prices holding what the board is showing right now for the second half of 2020 and early 2021 and will ultimately determine feedlot demand for feeder cattle in the 3rd quarter.
Calf prices, on the input side of summer grazing programmes, may be slightly earlier highs this year. The cold wet spring of 2019 likely delayed green-up for pastures, and once conditions improved, calf prices rallied on those bidding for animals to fill those programmes.
This year that rally may be earlier and more subdued if spring conditions return to normal. The five year average puts Southern Plains calf price highs at the end of March, a few weeks ahead of 2019's rally.

1 Kings 14:1 At that tyme Abia the sonne of Ieroboam fell sycke. 1 Kings 14:2 And Ieroboam sayde vnto hys wyfe: vp (I praye the) and disguyse thy selfe, that thou be not knowen to be the wyfe of Ieroboam, and get the to Silo. For ther is Ahia the Prophete which tolde me that I shulde be kynge ouer thys people. 1 Kings 14:3 And take with the ten loues, and cracknelles, and a cruse of honye, and go to him: that he maye tell the what shall become of the childe. 1 Kings 14:4 And Ieroboams wyfe dyd so: and arose, and went to Silo, and came to the house of Ahia. But Ahia coulde not se, for hys eyes were waxen dymme for age.
1 Kings 14:5 And the Lorde sayde vnto Ahia: beholde, the wyfe of Ieroboam cometh, to aske a thinge of the for her sonne, for he is sycke. But thus shalt thou saye vnto her. And when she came in, she feyned her selfe to be a nother woman. 1 Kings 14:6 But when Ahia hearde the sounde of her fete as she came in at the dore, he sayde: come in thou wyfe of Ieroboam, why feynest thou thy selfe so, to be another? I am sent to the to shewe the heuy thinges. 1 Kings 14:7 Go, tell Ieroboam, thus sayth the Lorde God of Israel. It repenteth me for as moche as I exalted the from amonge the people, and made the prynce ouer my people Israel. 1 Kings 14:8 I dyd rent the kyngdome awaye from the house of Dauid and gaue it the: Neuertheles, thou hast not bene as my seruaunt Dauid, which kepte my commaundementes, and folowed me wyth all hys herte, to do þt whych is ryght in myne eyes: 1 Kings 14:9 but hast done euyll, aboue all that were before the: for thou hast gone, and made the other goddes, and molten ymages, to prouoke me, and hast cast me behynde thy backe: therfore beholde, 1 Kings 14:10 I wyll brynge euell vpon the house of Ieroboam, and wyll rote out from Ieroboam euen hym that pysseth agaynste the wall and hym that is in preson and forsaken in Israel, and wyll take awaye the remnaunt of the house of Ieroboam, as a man taketh awaye donge, tyll he hath caryed out all. 1 Kings 14:11 Whosoeuer (of Ieroboams house) dye in the towne, hym shall the dogges eate: & he þt dieth in the felde, shall the fowles of the ayre eate: for the Lorde hath sayde it. 1 Kings 14:12 Up therfore and gett the to thyne house. Beholde, whan thy fote entereth into the cytie, þe chylde shall dye. 1 Kings 14:13 And all they of Israel shall mourne for him, and burye him: for he onely of Ieroboam, shall come to the sepulchre, because in hym there is founde goodnesse towarde the Lorde God of Israel in the house of Ieroboam. 1 Kings 14:14 Moreouer, the Lorde shall stere hym vp a kynge ouer Israel, which shall destroye the house of Ieroboam in that daye. But what is it now? 1 Kings 14:15 For the Lorde shall smyte Israell, as whan a rede is shaken in the water and he shall wede Israel out of thys good lande (which he gaue to theyr fathers,) and shall skatter them beyonde the ryuer, because they haue made them Idoles groues, and angred the Lorde. 1 Kings 14:16 And he shall geue Israel vp, becuase of the synnes of Ieroboam, which dyd synne, and made Israel to synne.
1 Kings 14:17 And Ieroboams wyfe arose, and departed, and came to Thirzah, and whan she came to the thresholde of the dore, the chylde was deed. 1 Kings 14:18 And all Israel buryed hym, and lamented him, accordynge to the worde of þe Lorde which he spake by the hande of hys seruaunt Ahia the Prophete.
1 Kings 14:19 And the rest of the wordes that concerne Ieroboam, howe he warred, and howe he raygned. Beholde they are wrytten in the boke of the Cronicles of the kynges of Israel. 1 Kings 14:20 And the dayes which Ieroboam raygned, were .xxii. yere. And whan he was layed aslepe with hys fathers, Nadab his sonne raygned in his steade.
1 Kings 14:21 Rehoboam the sonne of Salomon raygned in Iuda, and Rehoboam was .xli. yere olde when he beganne to raygne, and he raygned .xvij. yere in Ierusalem (the cytie which the Lorde dyd chose out of all the trybes of Israel, to put his name there.) His mothers name was Naama an Ammonite. 1 Kings 14:22 And Iuda wrought wickednesse in the syght of the Lorde, and angred him in moo thinges then their fathers dyd, in their synnes, which they synned. 1 Kings 14:23 For they also made them hyll aulters, Images, & Idols groues on euery hye hyll, & vnder euery thick tre. 1 Kings 14:24 And there was a stues of male chyldren in the lande, & they dyd accordinge to all the abhominacions of the nacions which the Lorde cast out before the chyldren of Israel.
1 Kings 14:25 And it fortuned, that in the fyft yere of kynge Rehoboam: Sisack kynge of Egypte came vp agaynst Ierusalem, 1 Kings 14:26 and toke awaye the treasures of þe house of the Lorde, & the treasures of the kynges house, & spoyled all that was to be had. And he toke awaye the shyldes of golde which Salomon had made. 1 Kings 14:27 In whose steade kynge Rehoboam made brasen shyldes, and committed them vnto the handes of the kepynge of the captaines of the garde, which wayted at the dore of the kynges house. 1 Kings 14:28 And whan the kynge went into the house of the Lord, they of the garde bare them, and brought them agayne into the garde chambre.
1 Kings 14:29 The rest of the wordes that concerne Rehoboam, and all þt he dyd, are they not wrytten in the boke of the Cronicles of the kynges of Iuda? 1 Kings 14:30 And there was warre betwene Rehoboam and Ieroboam all theyr lyues. 1 Kings 14:31 And Rehoboam slepte with his fathers, and was buried besyde his fathers in the cytie of Dauid. Hys mothers name was Naama an Ammonite. And Abiam hys sonne raygned in hys steade.

Phillip Bovey and Co Solicitors for the appellant/applicant
Director of Public Prosecutions (Queensland) for the respondent
- [1]
MORRISON JA: I agree with the reasons of Henry J and the orders his Honour proposes.
- [2]
NORTH J: I agree with the reasons for judgment of Henry J and with the orders proposed by his Honour.
- [3]
HENRY J: The applicant was convicted by a jury of doing grievous bodily harm to Mitchell Robinson and unlawfully wounding Tiffanie Hansen. He was sentenced to concurrent terms of imprisonment of five and a half years for grievous bodily harm and two years for unlawful wounding. He appealed his convictions and applied for leave to appeal sentence. This court allowed the appeal against conviction for unlawfully wounding Ms Hansen.
- [4]
The consequence of that outcome for the application for leave to appeal sentence was explained in R v Woods[1] as follows:
"[91] Argument on the application for leave to appeal sentence was predictably targeted at the sentence of five and a half years' imprisonment for grievous bodily harm. That sentence appears to be a particularly significant sentence for an offence of grievous bodily harm simpliciter by a 21 year old first offender. That is particularly so bearing in mind it was committed during an altercation prompted, at least in part, by the complainant's behaviour and in circumstances where the knife used to inflict the grievous bodily harm was grabbed spontaneously from the kitchen bench against or near which the physical altercation was already underway.
[92] However, before giving more detailed consideration to the application for leave to appeal sentence the consequence for sentence of the quashing of the conviction on count 2 ought be considered. At first instance, the learned sentencing judge did not specifically state the sentence imposed in respect of count 1, which was imposed concurrently with the sentence on count 2, was any higher than it would have been if he was only being sentenced in respect of count 1. Nonetheless, the respondent unsurprisingly highlighted the infliction of injury "upon a second victim" as an aggravating feature relevant to the overall quantum of sentence. The parties' submissions on the application for leave to appeal sentence did not deal with the potential significance to the outcome of that application of the quashing of a conviction on count 2.
[93] The parties ought be permitted to make further submissions to this court in light of that outcome. …"
- [5]
Since that decision the prosecution has informed this court it will not further pursue the prosecution of the charge of unlawfully wounding Ms Hansen. There is thus no obstacle to proceeding to determine the application for leave to appeal the sentence for grievous bodily harm. Further submissions have been received to that end.
- [6]
The proposed ground of appeal is:
"The sentence imposed by the learned trial judge was manifestly excessive and failed to pay sufficient regard to features favourable to the applicant."
- [7]
The facts of the offence were canvassed in R v Woods. In short, the grievous bodily harm was occasioned after the applicant reproached Mr Robinson on witnessing him behaving badly towards Ms Hansen. Mr Robinson approached the applicant and a physical tussle ensued, moving against the kitchen bench where a knife happened to be out on the counter. The applicant grabbed the knife as the two men struggled, and the knife penetrated Mr Robinson's torso more than once as the struggle continued, occasioning grievous bodily harm. Ms Hansen was wounded by the knife when she moved to intervene in what seems to have been the closing stage of the struggle.
- [8]
Just as the applicant did not fall to be sentenced for intentionally doing grievous bodily harm to Mr Robinson – an aggravated charge of which he was acquitted – nor, as it turns out, did he fall to be sentenced on the basis he had committed the offence of unlawful wounding upon Ms Hansen. The prosecution accepts as a matter of inference that the sentence of five and a half years' imprisonment imposed in respect of the charge of grievous bodily harm must, in part, have been justified by the now quashed conviction for the unlawful wounding of Ms Hansen.
- [9]
The prosecution submits the appropriate sentence is one of five years' imprisonment. The applicant on the other hand contends, particularly having regard to the applicant's personal circumstances and prospects of rehabilitation, that the appropriate sentence is one of three to four years' imprisonment, suspended after a "period which could fairly be less than 50% of the head sentence".
- [10]
In conceding this court ought sentence afresh in respect of the offence of grievous bodily harm the prosecution contends the wounding of Ms Hansen forms part of the circumstances of the offence of grievous bodily harm upon Mr Robinson in a way which should influence this court's calculation of the appropriate sentence.
- [11]
Can the fact Ms Hansen was injured increase the sentence which would otherwise be imposed for causing grievous bodily harm to Mr Robinson? This question highlights the tension between a sentencing court being permitted to have regard to the circumstances of the offence, per s 9(3)(d) Penalties and Sentences Act 1992 (Qld), but being precluded from sentencing an offender for an offence as if guilty of an circumstance of aggravation, or more serious offence, of which the offender has not been convicted.
- [12]
The authorities relevant to that tension were canvassed at length in R v D,[2] culminating in statements of general principle, including the following:
"1. Subject to the qualifications which follow:
- (a)
a sentencing judge should take account of all the circumstances of the offence of which the person to be sentenced has been convicted, either on a plea of guilty or after a trial, whether those circumstances increase or decrease the culpability of the offender;
- (b)
common sense and fairness determine what acts, omissions and matters constitute the offence and the attendant circumstances for sentencing purposes; and
- (c)
an act, omission, matter or circumstance within (b) which might itself technically constitute a separate offence is not, for that reason, necessarily excluded from consideration.
- An act, omission, matter or circumstance which it would be permissible otherwise to take into account may not be taken into account if the circumstances would then establish:
- (a)
a separate offence which consisted of, or included, conduct which did not form part of the offence of which the person to be sentenced has been convicted;
- (b)
a more serious offence than the offence of which the person to be sentenced has been convicted; or
- (c)
a "circumstance of aggravation" of which the person to be sentenced has not been convicted; i.e., a circumstance which increases the maximum penalty to which that person is exposed."[3] (citations omitted) (emphasis added)
- [13]
The prosecution here submits the wounding of Ms Hansen ought be taken into account in the calculation of the sentence for the grievous bodily harm because the fact the applicant "wounded a person … without realising she was there" evidences how "determined and violent" the "attack" on Mr Robinson was. Such a categorisation does not give fair weight to the reality that it was the complainant who moved towards the applicant and that the applicant grabbed the knife in the midst of the ensuing fight. Nor does the evidence support such a categorisation.
- [14]
How Ms Hansen came to be wounded was not witnessed. It appears she moved in and tried to intervene at a time after the knife had been introduced into the struggle, but while both men continued to struggle. The inference arising is that her sudden positioning, vis-à-vis the moving protagonists, coincided unintentionally on anyone's part with physical contact as between her and the knife. Not only can the applicant not be sentenced on the basis he "unlawfully" wounded her, for instance by way of criminal negligence, the evidence does not show her wounding resulted from any deliberate movement of the knife by him, as distinct, for example, from it being held in a fixed position but that position moving in incidental consequence of the force of the struggle. Nor does the evidence show to what degree the movement as between Ms Hansen's body and the knife was the product of her body moving as compared to the knife moving.
- [15]
In the absence of more specific evidence of how Ms Hansen's wounding occurred, the prosecution's position dilutes down to an essentially illustrative proposition. It is that the fact of Ms Hansen's wounding reflects the inherent dangerousness of the applicant choosing to grab and wield a knife during a struggle in the circumstances then prevailing. That point does not depend upon the materialisation of risk to be relevant. The introduction of a knife into any fight is dangerous because of the inherent risk of serious injury, not only to the fighters but also to persons at incidental risk, for instance because they are so close as to be within physical range of contact or because they are driven by moral obligation to intervene. That consideration of risk already informs the weight placed by sentencing courts upon the need to deter knife related violence as well as a Court's assessment of the inherent dangerousness of an offender's conduct in a particular matter.
- [16]
Here the level of inherent dangerousness was especially high because the risk of incidental injury to bystanders or potential interveners was especially high. That is because of the circumstances that the protagonists were in an enclosed space with persons closely associated with them nearby. Those circumstances elevated the seriousness of the applicant choosing to use a knife against Mr Robinson. The fact of Ms Hansen's wounding illustrates that seriousness but ought not, as a matter of logic or fairness, increase the sentence which should otherwise be imposed upon the applicant for the offence of doing grievous bodily harm to Mr Robinson in those circumstances.
- [17]
Turning to the appropriate sentence, the gravity of the offence cannot be gainsaid. The abdominal injuries suffered by Mr Robinson, from which he recovered after treatment, were life threatening. The applicant did not intend to do grievous bodily harm to Mr Robinson but he very nearly killed him. Further, there is no suggestion the applicant tried to warn Mr Robinson off, by announcing he had a knife, before resorting to its use. He moved it quickly and in such a way as to penetrate Mr Robinson's torso more than once, before Mr Robinson even realised a knife was being used. Where knives are used to commit offences upon the person, particularly where such grave harm results, it is inevitable that significant weight must be given to general deterrence.
- [18]
This court was referred to four cases of grievous bodily harm involving the infliction of extremely serious injuries by knives. They were R v Bryan; Ex parte Attorney-General (Qld)[4] where a sentence of six years' imprisonment was imposed on appeal, R v Johnston[5] where a sentence of six years' imprisonment was not disturbed on appeal, R v Baker[6] where a sentence of four years' imprisonment (concurrent with an existing term of imprisonment) was not disturbed on appeal, and R v Sargent[7] where a sentence of six years' imprisonment was not disturbed on appeal. None of those cases are closely comparably to the present. Each are more serious.
- [19]
The respondent in Bryan had previous convictions and engaged in an unprovoked vicious and cowardly knife attack on an innocent passer-by on a public street.
- [20]
The applicant in Johnston had previous convictions. At a social function he approached the complainant whilst wielding a knife and stabbed him with it, without there having been any prior provocation or dispute.
- [21]
The applicant in Baker had a criminal history for violence and was on parole at the time of doing grievous bodily harm to his brother, with whom he had earlier been engaged in a drunken physical argument at the driveway of a domestic residence. Following the argument, Baker had gone inside the house and fetched two knives. He then came back outside and stabbed the complainant in the chest.
- [22]
The applicant in Sargent, who was 41 and without relevant criminal history was drinking with teenagers at a skate park at night. For no apparent reason, he committed a violent assault upon a female and the complainant came to her aid by tackling Sargent. Sargent's response was to produce a knife with a retractable blade, open the blade and stab the complainant. The offending was categorised, like that in Bryan, as an unprovoked vicious and cowardly attack upon an innocent person in public.
- [23]
In the present case, the 21 year old applicant became involved in a physical altercation with the complainant after taking the complainant to task in relation to his behaviour towards a female. It was the complainant who moved towards the applicant at the outset of the fight which then ensued between them. This was not a case, like those discussed above, of the applicant already "going armed" with a knife[8] or electing after some deliberation to fetch a knife. The heat of the moment grabbing and use of the knife occurred when the protagonists were already locked in their physical tussle and coincidentally moved nearby to where a knife happened to be.
- [24]
Of course, the applicant's decision to grab and use the knife, causing extremely serious injury to the complainant, was deplorable. However, the spontaneous circumstance under which the knife came to be used is nonetheless important to a fair assessment of the appropriate sentence range. The level of culpability here in play, when considered in light of the applicant's relative youth and absence of previous convictions, calls for a more moderate sentence than that contended for by the prosecution.
- [25]
Head sentences of four years' imprisonment have from time to time been imposed in cases of grievous bodily harm inflicted by knives – see for example, R v Johnson[9] and R v Campbell.[10] In each of those cases there was a more considered resort to the use of a knife than occurred here. Admittedly they were unsuccessful prisoners' appeals but this court's reasons in each do not suggest they were unusually lenient sentences. As much is confirmed by reference to R v Norris[11] where this court reduced a head sentence of five years' imprisonment down to three years in respect of grievous bodily harm inflicted by stabbing with scissors. There a 19 year old applicant with minor criminal history had been involved in a physical fight with the complainant at a service station. She then went to her vehicle and fetched scissors from her handbag before chasing and stabbing the complainant in the chest, puncturing her lung. She also cut the complainant's companion with the scissors, giving rise to an additional offence of assault occasioning bodily harm whist armed.

Considered collectively the circumstances in Norris called for a greater degree of moderation in the head sentence than the present case. While Norris did obtain her weapon in less spontaneous circumstances than occurred here the extent of injury inflicted, whilst serious, was not as grave as that inflicted by the present applicant.
- [27]
In my view a head sentence of four years imprisonment would be a just sentence in the circumstances of this case.
- [28]
While the applicant's counsel's further submissions sought a partial suspension of the sentence, potentially after less than 50 per cent of it, no persuasive basis has been advanced in support of such a course. It is admittedly noteworthy the applicant was acquitted at trial of a circumstance of aggravation and his conviction of the unlawful wounding was quashed on appeal. However, he did not at trial admit his guilt of doing grievous bodily harm nor is it suggested he ever offered to do so. There is no good reason why the applicant ought not be subject to the statutory regime for parole. This Court ought follow the common course after a trial of allowing the applicant's eligibility for parole to be as provided for by s 184(2) Corrective Services Act 2006 (Qld).
- [29]
I would order:
- The application for leave to appeal against sentence is granted.
- The appeal is allowed.
- The sentence imposed for grievous bodily harm is set aside and instead the applicant is sentenced to four years imprisonment.

[8] On the accounts of the applicant and his girlfriend he did grab a bat as he entered, having perceived serious misbehaviour by Mr Robinson. However on their accounts it did nothing to prevent Mr Robinson crash-tackling the applicant and it was not used in the ensuing struggle. None of the other witnesses even noticed a bat.

Heatworks has launched its second project with frog design, Tetra Dishwasher, at CES 2018. Tetra is an internet connected countertop dishwasher and it requires no plumbing and can be used anywhere with a standard electrical outlet. With its transparent outer shell, the 10-minute washing process seems like a magic show!
According to Heatworks, if a two-person household were to switch from handwashing to a dishwasher for one meal a day, they could save 1500 gallons of water a year. By using Tetra, they could even save more! Tetra only needs half a gallon per load and it is loaded by hand, so you can track the use of water easily!

I am, quite obviously, insane. Why I ever agreed to watch four kids at one time is beyond me. I guess I figured that they are all sweet, well-behaved children. I assumed that it wouldn't be so bad, since the older three would all play together. I couldn't have been more wrong.
It went downhill when I was carrying the 6-month-old and felt something wet on my arm. I assumed he had spit-up. I couldn't have been more wrong. Did you know that it is possible for a baby to get poop in his hair, when he can't even walk?
Anyway, this experience reminded me about something I've been meaning to rant about.
My son is two-years-old. He is sweet and affectionate. He is also very strong-willed and independent. He's a lot like me, come to think of it. He also lives in a very feminine world. Because he has an older sister, and an enlightened father, he spends a lot of time playing "girl" games with "girl" toys. The other couple of children that he plays with on a regular basis are little girls.
One time, my kids were playing quietly in my daughter's bedroom. That was nice, but after a while it was too quiet. So I went to check on them and they were both decked out in make-up and crowns and jewelry. Of course I took pictures. Someday my son will want to kill me, I'm sure.
My daughter has ballet class every Thursday, and my son and I always have to wait in the little waiting room. One time the teacher asked all the parents in so the girls could show us a routine for Christmas. My son stood beside me and did every single move along with the teacher.
Both of these incidents made people make comments like, "Oh, your husband will freak." Or "Make sure your husband doesn't find out." What? What is that supposed to mean exactly?
One of the most common phrases you hear in the South is, "He's all boy." Usually this is said while the boy is breaking something, disobeying, or even beating up on another child. Like violent tendencies are something to be proud of. That drives me insane.
I understand that boys and girls may be different, especially at a young age. But I still expect both of my children to behave to my expectations, and I expect them both to be empathetic and caring people. And since I would never stop my daughter from playing sports or other stereotypical boy games, I'm not going to stop my son from dancing or other stereotypical girl games.
But what bothers me the most is when people assume that my husband will be upset if my son wants to dance ballet or play with dolls. This implies that these activities will make a boy gay. Doesn't it? I mean, isn't that really what they are saying? And it further implies that being gay would be an awful, humiliating thing? Doesn't it? And it further implies that my husband would be asshole enough to find fault in his wonderful little boy if he were to be gay, or even effeminate.
Argh! Now I realize that being gay isn't easy, and it's not what I want for my son. Unless that's who he is. Then I want him to be happy. But why do people have to be this way? How many times do I have to do my passive aggressive reprimand thing before my friends get it? Why can't we just let our kids be who they are?
Okay. The next southern mother who makes such a comment to me is going to get blasted. I'm sorry to rant out like that! But I really needed it. And isn't that what blogging is all about?

- You may be looking for Kingpin, nicknamed Deadbeat.
The Sleeze Brothers were a pair of private investigator brothers who lived sometime after the 20th century in the Big Apple. Deadbeat was tall and thin with a long face, while El Ape was round-faced, short and stocky. They both wore dark glasses and porkpie hats, and drove a hovercar that looked like a Volkswagen Beetle.
One day while they were driving, the Monk's TARDIS materialised in front of them looking like a portaloo and they crashed into it. The Monk was trying to stop President Sinatra from having another term. The Seventh Doctor arrived to try and stop him, but the Monk escaped.
Since there was no one to pay for the repairs to their hovercar, the Brothers pulled a gun on the Doctor and made him follow the Monk. After chasing him to Tunguska in 1908 and the RMS Titanic in 1912, they finally caught up with him in Bermuda in 1945. The Monk's TARDIS was damaged, and before it exploded causing a hole in time and space, the Doctor captured the Monk. He then returned to the Brothers own time and threw them out of the TARDIS. (COMIC: Follow That TARDIS!)
Behind the scenes Edit
El Ape and Deadbeat would go on to star in The Sleeze Brothers, a six-issue comic mini-series by Epic Comics, an imprint of Marvel Comics, published between August 1989 and January 1990.

The Favourite
"Olivia Colman stars in this bawdy period drama directed by Yorgos Lanthimos.
"Queen Anne (Colman) may occupy the throne but it is her co-dependent, Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz), who makes most of the Monarch's decisions, leaving The Queen to get on with eating pineapples and racing ducks.
"When Lady Sarah's cousin, Abigal Masham (Emma Stone), arrives and is given work at the palace as a servant she quickly endears herself to The Queen and threatens Lady Sarah's status as the favourite. Lady Sarah cannot hide her jealously and a bitter and petty rivalry ensues as both ladies vie for The Queen's affections."
"Hailee Steinfeld and John Cena star in this sci-fi action spin-off set in the late 1980s, 20 years before the events of Transformers (2007).
"When teenager Charlie Watson (Steinfeld) gets an old, yellow VW Beetle for her 18th birthday she soon discovers that it is a Transformer, an Autobot named Bumblebee. As their bond grows they encounter other Transformers, but soon find they are Bumblebee's adversaries and have enlisted the help of Agent Burns (Cena) to try and have him destroyed. Charlie and Bumblebee must then work together to protect one another as well as the rest of the world."
"M. Night Shyamalan writes and directs this thriller starring James McAvoy, Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson.
"Following Unbreakable (2000) and Split (2016), security guard-turned vigilante David Dunn (Willis) hunts down Kevin Wendell Crumb (McAvoy), a disturbed and dangerous being with 24 distinct personalities. Both men are captured and placed in an asylum under the care of psychiatrist Dr Ellie Staple (Sarah Paulson), who specialises in treating those who believe they have supernatural gifts. However, their fellow patient Elijah Price aka Mr Glass (Jackson) enlists Kevin's help to escape the facility and realise his ambition of revealing their supernatural gifts to the world."
Mary Queen of Scots
"Historical drama starring Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie.
"Mary Stuart (Ronan) returns to her native Scotland to reclaim her throne at a time when England is ruled by her cousin Elizabeth I (Robbie). Despite both announcing their desire for peace Elizabeth feels threatened by Mary's legitimate claim to the English throne and when she produces an heir Elizabeth regards this as a direct threat to her sovereignty. This provocation leads Scotland and England closer to war as betrayal and rebellion threaten both thrones."
"Keira Knightley stars in the title role of this biographical drama.
"After marrying Parisian writer Henry Gauthier-Villars (Dominic West), Gabrielle Colette moves to the French capital where she writes her first novel, an autobiographical tale entitled 'Claudine', which is published under her husband's pen name, Willy, and becomes an instant bestseller. The novel's success thrusts the couple's scandalous marriage into the spotlight and inspires a further series of stories.
"However, despite her success as a writer, Colette fails to achieve the acclaim and credit she deserves and must fight to overcome the strict gender norms and constraints of early 20th-century France."
Homes & Watson
"Will Ferrell stars as Sherlock Holmes with John C. Reilly as his sidekick Dr Watson in a slapstick take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famed literary characters.
"In this light-hearted comedy directed by Etan Cohen, Holmes and Watson must find a way of stopping Professor James Moriarty (Ralph Fiennes) from assassinating the Queen (Pam Ferris)."

26 Mar What to Expect Your First Time Visiting a Dispensary
If you have never visited a dispensary to buy recreational marijuana or cannabis, it can be a little intimidating. Although recreational marijuana was made legal in California with the passing of Proposition 64, it still can feel like you are breaking some kind of rule when you enter a dispensary. However, with this handy guide on what to expect when you visit a dispensary, you will be prepared to when you make your inaugural visit to a dispensary.
1. Have a Photo ID Ready
In order to purchase recreational cannabis from a dispensary, you must be at least 21. In fact, you will not even be allowed to enter the dispensary unless you have a photo ID for inspection. Make sure you have a valid form of photo identification ready, such as a driver's license or passport.
2. Have an Idea of What Cannabis Products You Are Interested In
Before you enter a dispensary, try to get an idea of what kind of product you are looking to purchase. The staff at a dispensary are there to help you figure out which cannabis product will work best for you, but if you go in without any notion of what you are interested in, the sheer volume of options can be overwhelming. Try to identify which kind of cannabis product you are interested in, be it cannabis flower, edibles, extracts, topicals, concentrates, or clones.
3. Identify Which Cannabis Strain Might Be Best For You
There are two primary types of cannabis, indica and sativa, along with an option for a hybrid of both. Before you arrive at a dispensary, try to understand the difference between the strains and which is best for you. In general, indica is for when you are looking to "chill," sativa is a more social experience, and hybrid is a middle ground between the two.
4. Ask the Staff Any and All Questions You May Have
The staff at a dispensary are all cannabis experts, and they are eager and willing to answer any and all questions you may have. There is no such thing as a dumb question, so fire away!
5. Be Respectful of Other Customers
There may be a bit of a line to order at a cannabis dispensary. While you should feel free to take your time looking at all of the available products, don't loiter unnecessarily long. There are plenty of other people looking to get into the dispensary and make a purchase, so do your best to go about your business swiftly.
SDRC Specializes in First Time Dispensary Customers
San Diego Recreational Cannabis (SDRC) is a cannabis dispensary that caters to first-time visitors. We know that it can be daunting to enter a cannabis dispensary for the first time, so we do everything possible to make the experience as pleasant as possible. The staff at SDRC is eager to help you on your journey, educating you on the benefits of cannabis and guiding you towards the best product for you.

Age: 27
Occupation: Filmmaker
Instagram: @jazephua
Find Jaze familiar? You probably recognise him from his series of mirror run challenge videos that have gone viral worldwide. And yes, he's also the guy who recently released a low-budget Avengers: Endgame trailer. Here are some things to know about him.
He didn't think his first mirror run challenge video would do so well
Jaze was taken aback by how much attention the first video garnered and isn't even sure why it took off. "I don't know why it went viral. I think it's because there's some action in it. Plus, it's funny," he says. "When I posted the first video, I had 14,000 followers. Now, I have close to 79,000. It's crazy." He has since put out a few other sequel videos and plans "to only stop when people ask me to stop".
He co-owns a production company
He founded JUO Studios (formerly known as JUO Productions) two years ago. Jaze spends most of his time directing commercials but he also produces short films and TV series—a recent one his company recently produced is Dead Lucky for Toggle, where he plays a ruthless assassin called Jasper. He also puts out various web series on YouTube, such as The Rule Breakers.

He's multi-talented
Jaze studied animation in school, which probably isn't surprising considering the work he puts out. But that's not all he has to offer creatively. "I love to paint and draw," he says. "The work I do now actually started from drawing. I started when I was four years old—my parents sent me for classes and my dream back then was to become a comic artist. I wanted to become an animator then, but after touching a camera, I decided to be a filmmaker instead."
He also sings—and he's taking it pretty seriously
Even though he says he "sings as a pastime at night", he has a vocal coach that he takes lessons from every week. "Singing is a hobby, but I eventually want to write my own songs and shoot my own music video. I've sung live at a couple of bars and showcases," he shares. He's quick to add, however, that he doesn't plan on becoming a full-time singer, and that he only wants to branch into it because it's one of his passions.

Optimism is the name of his game
"I'm very positive. I always say, 'Sure can one.' Everything also 'Sure can one'," he says. And he thinks he's quite funny, albeit not in a typical way ("I have an awkward style of humour"). He also knows how to take a break, and plays basketball and football or watches Netflix when he isn't working.
He's an animal lover
Jaze owns one dog and two cats. "I share the pets with my sister, but she spends more on them than I do," he says while breaking into laughter. "I mostly just play with them but I do walk my dog every day." FYI, his pets have their own IG accounts: his dog's is @loganthejapspitz while his cats' is @rufusxhunter.

Twenty Years Ago, I Had a Dream...
Twenty years ago, I had a dream…..
I had a big dream. I wanted to turn 25 years old in New York City and work in the fashion industry. Yup. It's true! Fashion was my passion! And I was an aspirational young lady. I knew what I wanted and I was ready to go for it!
When I was 24 years old, I lived in Washington D.C. and was working in Public Relations for Neiman Marcus. I loved my position and had climbed the corporate ladder from temporary Christmas salesperson to top salesperson in the Dress Department to Public Relations Assistant ~ all in 6 months! Neiman's was grooming me for BIG things and all things fashion, but I had a different vision for myself. In college, after having studied in Oxford, England and traveled a bit of Europe, I had already set my future plan to live in New York City, I just didn't know when then was going to happen. And, then one day an opportunity presented itself. I was invited by my then boyfriend to move to New York. His mother was moving back to D.C. and she offered us her apartment in the now coveted Nolita on Lafayette and Prince Street.
Back in 1994, that area was Gotti-Gangster Land and it was a really funky neighborhood. I was in heaven. It was awesome! And so with no job, no savings and all Love, I was in New York City, shacking up with my guy and I started to hit Seventh Avenue with my stellar resume! As fortune would have it: no New York experience closed a lot of doors for me and so professionally I never made it past the sample sales and showrooms in the New York fashion scene. Over the years, I strategically managed to develop other entrepreneurial skills that included event planning, real estate sales, wedding planning, professional organizing, teaching pre-school and finally, teaching yoga, which has been my main gig for the last 10+ years.
I LOVE teaching yoga and this service has been my living grace for the last decade in New York City. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you to all of you who have been with me on the yoga journey. The blessings and riches from teaching yoga are beyond blissful and this part of my life WILL absolutely continue. BUT, I've been chomp.chomp.chomping for something to revive my passion for fashion for a very looooooong time. And it has arrived!!!! Hallelujah!
I have come full circle in twenty years and am delighted to share with you a new direction of services to you that include STYLING in jewelry and accessories. Between my full yoga teaching schedule at Equinox, I have joined the team of Merchandisers at Chloe + Isabel which is a fashion and lifestyle brand based right here in New York City! Woot! Dream come true. The company's mission is to connect stylish, creative and confident women through a modern-day social shopping experience, and I couldn't be more excited to be sharing this with you! Their mission is definitely my mission!
Thank you for being in my life and giving me the privilege of sharing my desires and passions with you. Living with purpose, passion and peace, I do believe that all dreams come true!
Sending you light and sooooo much love!
In my years of teaching yoga, I've found Self Love to be an essential element of one's evolution and enlightenment. The foundation of Self love is radical self acceptance. Self love is embodied and expressed in the delight to serve others. When we love ourselves completely and unconditionally, love infinitely pours into every cell of our body. Love is never finished, it is always in flow. So once you are being filled with the flow of self love, it begins to overflow and takes the form of loving kindness, compassion, playfulness, respect and nonjudgmental expressions of service.
My favorite self-love practice is forgiveness, forgiving over and over again, in every moment. Another great practice of self love is mindful speaking to myself and others. I listen to the language and tone with which I speak to myself and make certain that I speak to myself as I would to my lover or a child. It is an extremely helpful practice.
Loving self care is essential to Self Love! Taking care of mind and body – including eating good foods for my body and soul, dancing, clearing emotions with meditation, choosing positive thoughts and releasing negative ones, sharing time with people I love and laughing. Laughter and play are the most magical tools for self-love!!
To live a life you love, you have to have a sense of what you love, how you love and why you love. Our best possible selves must start with accepting where we have been and where we are now and where we want to go. There are always transitions in our lives. Everything changes everyday. We need to know how to work with these changes from a place of self acceptance and self understanding. We are the directors, producers, writers and actors of our own life. Once there is an understanding that we have the power within our own hearts and minds to create what we wish, then radical transformation can begin. Taking full responsibility of ourselves, our thoughts and our actions, is required. And self love starts the process.
Yoga is a process of balance and union of the different parts of our self nature. In its most simplistic terms, we are balancing and bringing into union the feminine with the masculine, the sun and the moon, the ha and the tha. Most of us have issues with one or both of parts of ourselves – so to love all the parts, just as they are without criticism or judgment, is a huge step towards enlightenment, aka the ultimate self love!

Death of a Mother's child, death in part of the Mother
"Parents shouldn't have to bury their children". It's been said over and over again. But we do and there's not a thing we can do about it. The child dies of illness, accident, overdose, suicide, whatever the case may be and we as a parent feel the tearing and shredding of our soul. We yell and scream until our vocal cords are raw. We look at folks who are going about their daily routines and we want to grab them by the throat and tell them, "look at me in my pain, and stop laughing and enjoying your life. Don't you realize my life is changed forever and I'll never have what you have or what I had before?" We want everyone to feel the gut wrenching turmoil we face on a daily basis with no end in sight. We lose all sense of rationality for a time. We want everyone to understand that we are hurting beyond belief.
Then the rationality comes back ever so slowly. You might see a new baby and think about how your baby was at that age. You see children playing and laughing and you remember all the times your child laughed at play. You hear about the successes of someone else's child and you say all the right things, but realize you are playing at life and using a façade to keep from running away and crying your eyes out. The tears don't come as readily as they did in the beginning but they are there just waiting to flow like Niagara from your eyes.
The loss of the child is a loss of part of yourself. It's a physical loss of part of you, or at least a part of you that once was. That child relied on you to nurture and bring that child to life. That child was yours and yours alone for the first 9 months of his/her being. You went through pain to bring that child into the world as a living being. The child that was part of you is now independent of you and a being on his/her own. But… is that really true?
The child you bore is now a person who needs to be honed into the shape of a productive human being. A human being which you hope will enhance the world. You do the best you can to teach your child about what is expected of him/her. You guide the child by your own behaviors and beliefs. You hope the child is an extension of you and learns what your culture feels is right from wrong. In essence, you are attempting to make the child an extension of yourself. You will be gone at some point in time but you hope all your teachings will continue in the acts of the child you bore.
Then comes the death of that child.
Part of you is now dead. Perhaps not to others but certainly in your own mind you feel the great loss of the flesh and blood of your child who is no longer here to touch, kiss and hug. The child you took so much care of prior to his/her first breath will no longer breathe. The child you tried to protect and insulate from the brutalities that life could throw at him/her is no longer in need of your protection. A part of you is gone along with the physical being of your child, your baby, the one you protected for so long.
You feel that you've lost an appendage. It's as painful as though you really did lose part of your body. It's like an amputee who has phantom pain. The appendage is gone but you still feel it is right where it always was. You just need to look harder, or longer, or more intensely and it will be back where it belongs. Then you realize, that it never will be back. It's gone forever and you have to accept the fact that part of you is gone and you will never be the same.
"You need to move on". "You'll get over it". "Life goes on", "Time heals all wounds". You realize that people are stupid, they have no idea until they go through it what death does to people. Losing a child is not like losing any other person. The death is personal, not abstract. It's part of you, you're mourning along with the child. It is your body that has also experienced the death. You feel intensely a sense of loss of part of self.
The child, the extension of you, has taken from you that part of your feeling of immortality. You don't have the child to continue your thoughts and beliefs. That child will not be able to impart wisdoms you gave them to their progeny. You've ceased to exist, at least that's how it feels at times. Rational thought? I don't think so, but definitely a layer of regret that you didn't realize would be part of the death of your child.
So you go on, and do all the things you have to do. You continue the façade of a life you never knew before but it's part of you now. You smile, you laugh, and you carry on, carrying on. Maybe you don't laugh as loud or smile as bright, but you do the best you can just like you did when you were raising the child who is no longer part of the breathing world, but part of the memories you hold close to your heart.

Chester is a historic and pretty city in England. It is located in the Cheshire County and is in proximity to Warrington, Tattenhall, Sandbach, Widnes, and Nantwich. Chester was a prominent center during the Roman rule. As a result, it houses a significant number of Roman ruins. The city is also very famous for its shopping options and it contains some truly fabulous shopping areas. If you opt for a car hire in Chester, your navigation of this city will be a most convenient one.
Chester contains some excellent accommodations for travelers from all economic backgrounds. If you are on a shoestring budget you could consider staying at the Chester Backpackers. This is essentially a youth hostel and provides residents with good bedding. If your budget is slightly higher you can rent a car in Chester, and make your way to one of the mid range hotels in the city. An example of a good mid range hotel in Chester is the Comfort Inn Hotel. The nightly rates at this hotel are quite affordable. Along with decent rooms, you can also enjoy some convenient services such as a launderette, access to wireless internet, free morning breakfast, free car parking etc.
Chester has a few nightclubs of international repute that you can visit with the help of the rental cars. Cruise and RB'S are two renowned nightclubs in the city, charging meager entry rates for a really good time. The beverages that are served at these clubs are of a fine quality, even though they are not too highly priced. There are also no rigid entry requirements at these two clubs and you can simply enter by producing a photo ID.
Chester provides its tourists with fantastic shopping opportunities even though it is not a very large city. Cheshire Oaks is a renowned fashion outlet in the city where you can purchase the most exquisite garments. There is also one traditional indoor market in Chester. You can reach both these stores quite conveniently if you make use of the car rental services.
If you hire a car in Chester, you can travel to the picturesque villages in the outskirts of the town. You will be able to enjoy a beautiful landscape and perhaps even a nice conversation with some of the very friendly locals in the area.

Facebook will now let iOS users double-tap to 'like' posts in Instagram-style update
An update to Facebook's iOS app lets users like a photo by double-tapping on it. The move could potentially result in some awkward scenarios for unaware users. Currently, users can zoom in further on a Facebook photo by double-tapping it
The social media giant has updated its iOS app to let users like a photo by double-tapping on it.
Be careful the next time you try to zoom in on a Facebook photo.
In doing so, Facebook is taking a page from Instagram, which has allowed users to double-tap pictures for several years.
The feature was first spotted by UK-based social media consultant Matt Navarra.
It's not yet clear if the update is available to all users, or if it's part of a limited test.
One user was quick to point out that it would likely make social media stalking a bit more challenging for some.
Currently, users can double-tap on a Facebook photo to zoom in.
If they're unaware that double-tapping on a photo signifies a 'like,' it could potentially result in some awkward scenarios.
'Oh no. I do that to zoom in when I'm in full-on stalker mode. I am doomed,' a Twitter user wrote in response to Navarra's tweet.
Another user agreed, adding: 'My first thought, too.'
Many noted that the update marks the latest case of Facebook adding features from Instagram and vice-versa.
'Facebook and Instagram slowly becoming one,' a user wrote in a reply to Navarra's tweet.
Instagram, which is owned by Facebook, has taken after its parent company in more ways than one in recent months, including adding more advertisements to the feed and Stories.
It comes as Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced plans earlier this year to integrate Facebook's 'family of apps.'
This includes the core 'Big Blue' app, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger.
By merging the apps, it would allow users to message one another no matter what platform they're using.
Facebook has pledged to add end-to-end encryption as it rolls out this feature.
The process is expected to last several years, into '2020 or beyond,' Zuckerberg said in January, according to Business Insider.

Mammograms are not scary. Everything else is.
As a result of my family's long history of cancer, I'm part of the Ontario Breast Screening Program.

Immigration is an information design problem.
While writing this column for the Ottawa Citizen on proposed changes to Canada's immigration policy, an idea occurred to me that had taken years to crystallize.

We all know Steven Spielberg is an extraordinary filmmaker, but it can be hard to quantify the precise elements that make him so exceptional. Of course, that's a multi-faceted answer that includes everything from his rapport with actors to framing to command of storytelling, but a new video essay breaks down one of the more technical elements in his arsenal — good sound design.
Spielberg is currently doing the awards circuit rounds for his timely journalism drama The Post, but for his new video, YouTuber Nerdwriter1 jumps back to Munich to reveal how the director and legendary sound designer Ben Burtt us sound to tell a story so complete, you don't even need the picture to see it. This fella's video essays are always on point (we previously shared his insightful take on David Fincher's camerawork), and his Spielberg analysis doesn't disappoint. So if you want to learn more about an element of Spielberg's filmmaking you might not have picked up on, or just marvel at what a damn fine storyteller he is, check out the video below.
Be sure to check out our ranking of every Spielberg movie and our review of The Post, and for more of the latest on the legendary filmmaker check out the links below.
