Our construction business began in 1945 when E.L. Pete Thomas decided to start moving earth. He took on projects to help our State and Nation grow in the years after WWII. Many of these projects were for the US Army Corp of Engineers.
Our company is a family operated business that has grown over the years and is now employing its fourth generation. The Thomas Team includes Donnie, Loy Jr., Tim, Jeremy, and Logan, and the company is currently managed by Pete's grandson Tim.
Our Reputation
For over 70 years, we’ve been known as a smaller company capable of larger, more complex projects. We remain this way so we can be personally involved with each project. The founders of our firm believed in one thing… “Do what you say you’re going to do.” That is still at our core today. For many of our clients, their project was the largest they had ever undertaken. They needed a contractor who assisted in most steps along the way. We know that attention to detail on your project is the best customer service we can offer. We team with owners and design groups to assist with the vision of the project while working within the owner’s budget limitations. The three constants for any project are staying within the targeted budget, completing the work on time, and delivering a desired level of quality. We focus on these items to drive the project to success.
Tim Thomas
Owner / Project Manager
Tim, proud to be the third generation at Thomas Construction and Grading, began his career working for the family business and continues to do so to this day. While maintaining relationships with existing clients, Tim is currently focused on introducing new services including forestry mulching and drone site planning services. He is also active in developing equestrian properties, including trails and coursework and has a USEA (small r) course design certification.
Over the course of his career, Tim has gained experience outside of the family business; flying helicopters in the army, working for an international NGO, managing projects for Lockheed Martin and Raytheon, and designing specialized heavy equipment for Petersen Cat. Tim has experience managing multi-faceted projects with budgets of over $100M. He has managed successful operations from North America to the South Pole and now is ready to help make your project a success.

Many people may remember Hoyt Axton better as an actor, than as a singer and songwriter. After all, he made notable appearances in such films as Gremlins and The Black Stallion. But Axton is most memorable as a musician with successes dating back into the mid-1960s. He made his biggest noise writing hits for other artists: “Greenback Dollar” for the Kingston Trio (1963); “The Pusher” by Steppenwolf (1968); “The No No Song” for Ringo Starr (1975); and of course, “Joy To The World,” which was a monster hit for Three Dog Night in 1971.

Lost Classics! John Stewart
Posted in Lost Classics! with tags Anne Murray, John Stewart, Kingston Trio, Lindsey Buckingham, Rosanne Cash, Stevie Nicks, The Monkees on November 17, 2008 by 30daysout
In the early 1970s, John Stewart was a leading, although unappreciated, practitioner of the country rock movement. This singer-songwriter with the booming voice actually got his big break when he replaced Dave Guard in the Kingston Trio in 1961. The Kingston Trio was one of the best-selling folk acts of the early ’60s, and Stewart toured and recorded with them until their breakup in 1967.
Stewart went solo and wrote songs for other people, most notably “Daydream Believer,” a big hit for the Monkees (and later, Anne Murray). In the early ’70s he signed with RCA and in 1973 recorded Cannons In The Rain, critically acclaimed but not a hit. Wingless Angels, from 1975, followed a similar pattern.

Money has always been tight, but these days it’s ridiculous. My kid is looking at colleges, and I’m looking at loan packages. I made a real investment the other day; I bought a lottery ticket. And they’re talking on TV about how things are getting worse. I’m not going to leap off a tall Wall Street skyscraper just yet, but now I can see how you come to climb those stairs. Does anyone really think that voting for one of those two clowns is going to change anything? Maybe it’s one of those things that will just pass, maybe things will fix themselves. Maybe those guys up in Washington are just going to make everything worse. Maybe things will change if, on one work day, everybody just stays in bed.

Rupee or domestic credit by the banking and monetary sectors to the Government of Sri Lanka (GoSL) and public corporations continued to overshadow credit to the private sector for the seventh consecutive month to February 2022, a phenomenon last seen nearly 33 years ago in 1989, Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) data of Friday’s (8 April) showed.
For instance, credit to the GoSL and to public corporations amounted to Rs 7,331 billion in February 2022, while credit to the private sector amounted to a mere Rs 7,051 billion in that month, the former being more by Rs 280 billion over the latter. And in the previous month January 2022, credit to the GoSL and to public corporations amounted to Rs 7,236 billion, while credit to the private sector amounted to a mere Rs 7,017 billion that month, the former being more by Rs 219 billion over the latter.
Meanwhile, in December 2021, credit to the GoSL and to public corporations amounted to Rs 7,467.9 billion, while credit to the private sector amounted to a mere Rs 6,981.4 billion, the former being more by Rs 486.5 billion over the latter. In November 2021, credit to the GoSL and to public corporations amounted to Rs 7,259 billion and credit to the private sector Rs 6,920.1 billion, an increase of Rs 338.9 billion.
Similarly, in the months of October, September and August 2021 these respective figures were Rs 7,116.8 billion and Rs 6,859.6 billion, Rs 6,915.2 billion and Rs 6,824.6 billion and Rs 6,819 billion and Rs 6,795.5 billion, increases of Rs 257.2 billion, Rs 90.6 billion and Rs 23.5 billion, respectively. Previously, such a phenomenon occurred for 10 consecutive months, from January 1989 to October 1989, CBSL data showed.
Three matters of political interest, coinciding with those developments took place during that earlier period. They were President Ranasinghe Premadasa being elected to power at the Presidential Poll of 19 December 1988 and taking over from President J.R. Jayewardene who went into retirement on 31 December 1988, the IPKF fighting the LTTE in the North and East of the country and the JVP fighting the GoSL in the rest of the country.
However, coinciding with the killing of JVP leader Rohana Wijeweera by the Army on 13 November 1989, private sector credit once more overtook credit to both the GoSL and public corporations together beginning from that month, before its collapse nearly 32 years later in August 2021 and continuing to play second fiddle to the GoSL and public corporations till February 2022, according to latest CBSL data.

Success of violent populist agitations brief

Disruptive and violent populist movements have occurred in various countries at various times in history.In most cases, people have plunged into the movement with good intentions to correct injustices perpetrated by insensitive rulers. Such movements have undoubtedly registered successes, but only partially and briefly, literature on the subject shows.
Often, the chaotic conditions created by such movements have eventually, if not immediately, led to the establishment of dictatorships either of individuals or groups. They have also aroused primordial sentiments of ethnicity and religion. Despite loud claims about their efficacy, violent populist movements have not been a panacea for the ills of society.
Arab Spring
The Arab Spring, which was a wave of pro-democracy protests and uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa in 2010 and 2011, toppled regimes in Tunisia and Egypt, inspiring similar movements in other Arab countries. Yemen saw an uprising in 2011-12, and Libya had a revolt in 2011.
But the Arab Spring proved to be a failure eventually and that too, fairly quickly. In his work Democracy and Governance: The Arab Spring and a Democratic Winter, Robert O’Neill quotes Tarek Masoud, Associate Professor of Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School,to say that outside of Tunisia, “Arab democracy seems further away today than it was at any point in the last 25 years.”Masoud further says that in Libya, Egypt, Syria, Bahrain, Tunisia, and Yemen, “the aftermath of the Arab Spring ranged from a bloody civil war to a return of the old regime. The season of optimism had proved stunningly unwarranted.”
Popular uprisings are unlikely to sweep away old dictators and usher in democracy, Masoud warns.“The autocrats crackdown (as in Syria or Bahrain) or bide their time (as in Egypt), but they never disappear,” he points out.
Masoud attributes the Arab countries’ backing away from democracy todeep-rooted attachments of the people to their traditional culture,political system, Islam and nationalism. People’s movements like the Arab Spring could end up reawakening feelings for the local culture, traditional norms and religion. And, due to the instability created by an anarchic mass movement,there could be a people’s yearning for order, which, in turn, could lead to the rise to power of the military or the Islamic clergy. These could be supported by the socio-economic elite whose power had been snatched away by the popular movement.
French Revolution
On 14 July 1789, in Paris, mobs stormed the Bastille, marking the beginning of the French Revolution. Jeremy D. Popkin, author of ‘A New World Begins’: The History of the French Revolutionre calls that in 1780, a rampaging mob in London had set fire to buildings, causing several hundred deaths. In 1789, French King Louis XVI, facing an unprecedented financial crisis, hiked taxes. This triggered mass protests. Repression was unleashed. But that only triggered more protests.
Popkin says that the storming of the Bastille was a victory for the idea of representative government. “It set a precedent: For the first time in modern history, ordinary men and women, through their collective action in the streets, ensured the creation of a constitutional system of democratic government.”However, “within a few years, the French Revolution would also show that crowds could be dangerous, even to governments that claimed to represent the will of the people.”
Such protests were the order of the day in France for long. On 20 June 1792, thousands of armed demonstrators invaded the French royal palace, where they held the King prisoner in his own home for hours. “Less than two months later, on 10 August 1792, amid rumours that the King and Queen were supporting the foreign armies that were invading France, armed battalions of the revolution’s citizen militia, the National Guard, stormed the royal palace of the Tuileries. The elected Assembly thus had no choice except to declare the end of the French monarchy. In the ensuing months, that Assembly itself was replaced by the National Convention, the first legislative body to be chosen by universal male suffrage,” Popkin notes.
“However, even an assembly chosen by the people was not immune to the power of the crowd. From 31 May to 2 June 1793, National Guards and other members of the population laid siege to the meeting hall of the National Convention and forced the deputies to expel some of their members, ensuring the triumph of Maximilien Robespierre’s radical political group,” Popkin adds.
The new democratic constitution the deputies subsequently passed proclaimed, “When the Government violates the rights of the people, insurrection is, for the people and every portion of the people, the most sacred of rights and the most indispensable of duties.”
However, Robespierre was overthrown on 27 July 1794. About this, Popkin says: “The revolutionary legislators then chose a more conservative way forward. But when economic distress reached a peak in early 1795, massive demonstrations followed. This time, demonstrators wanted to bring back the monarchy. A young army general, Napoleon Bonaparte, played a crucial role in fighting off the assault. Four years later, he would organise the coup d’état that put him in power and signalled the end of the French experiment with democracy.”
Therefore, the French Revolution ended up creating a military dictator – Napoleon Bonaparte!
Nearer our times, there was a sensational attack on the US Congress (Capitol) on 6 January 2021, to disrupt a joint session of Congress convened to certify the results of the Presidential Election of 2020, which Donald Trump had lost to his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden. The attack was described as an insurrection or attempted coup d’état. The system survived the attack because the attack lacked popular support. Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives, though he was subsequently let off by the Senate.
Lankan Aragalaya
More recently, Sri Lanka saw the storming and occupation of the houses and offices of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe and the burning of the private residence of the Prime Minister. The uprising, called Aragalaya,forced the President to flee and Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa to resign, but it failed to overthrow the established system.The State, under the new President Ranil Wickremesinghe, moved to restore law and order. And the masses acquiesced as they generally disapprove of violence.

No dammit! I just encountered one of the many minefields my bride plants around the house. Minefields in the shape of sharp edges on objects of significance just waiting to jump out and pound my toe.
My bride…my bride…my bride. I swear she puts things in my path just for the sheer joy of taking me to task over my perceived clumsiness…maybe not so perceived. What I do not falsely perceive is the maniacal grin on her face as I hop around and curse loudly and at length.
“Did you break your toe sweety?”
Déjà vu all over again, my big toe contacts the edge of a box that wasn’t there yesterday, I cursed quite loudly and at length…again! To which she questioned, “What did you do this time? You are the clumsiest human….”
“I stumped my toe against this !@#$%^& box you left in my path!”
“Stumped your toe? What did you do, ask it a question it couldn’t answer?”
As tears formed in my eyes, “What are you talking about? I rammed my toe into the box you moved into my way just for that purpose.”
A toss of her hair and an eyeroll before giving me a side eye, “That box hasn’t been moved in months and it is stubbed not stumped.
Stubbed? As the mist from my pain filled eyes began to dissipate, I questioned, “Stubbed, that doesn’t even make sense.” As I said it a thought formed at light speed, “Neither does stumped.” Could it be I’ve been misunderstanding stumped for my entire life? I know my hearing is bad, but it didn’t used to be.
One thing I’m not misunderstanding is the pain and since bad news travels in threes I’ve got at least one more date with an object of significance and I doubt it will be a pillow.
No, I’m quite sure it is “stumped my toe.” Inquiring minds though. I suggest it is right there with “barking one’s shin.”
I ran a social media poll. The outcome was split. I realized I was not going to be vindicated but also I realized I wasn’t stupid. Some folk actually say ‘stump’. I would not be able to stand in front of my bride, nodding my head in superiority while grinning, “You know that stumping my toe thing you ridiculed…Well….” There will be no “Well….”
It turns out either is correct…and therefore incorrect, I guess. Stumped seems to be a little more archaic and more English. My guess it has something to do with my forefathers leaving England for Virginia, the Appalachians and finally South Carolina. There seems to be a lot of odd words that found their way into my vocabulary. “Lawd hep us” if Nannie started a sentence with, “You chaps…” or ended it with “getting too big for your britches.”
Come to think of it, my big toe is all “stoved up”, another archaic English idiom that found its way to the American South. It means incapacitated or damaged and comes from the English word “stave”. I’m also sure there is something lurking about waiting to bark a shin or stump a toe. If not my wife will have it into position soon enough.

Trick-or-Treating Is Not Just for Little Kids

Teenagers occupy a strange in-between world. They are no longer children, but they are not yet adults. They are quick to abandon “childish” things, then almost as quick to regret that they have done so. It is during the teen years that many of us start to wonder why we ever wished so hard to grow up faster.
Trick-or-treating is something that many kids look forward to for months. They spend hours thinking about how they want to dress, often coming up with bigger and better ideas each week leading up to Halloween. (As a parent, I learned early on to not buy or make the costumes my children asked for in August or September, realizing that they would likely change their minds a few times by mid-October.)
It is an unheralded milestone when your child says, “Trick-or-treating is for little kids.” The first time I heard this, my insides lurched. My babies were growing up, much too fast, and they wanted to rush the process. Knowing that I made a similar proclamation at that age and then made a game-time decision to go out on Halloween, I advised keeping the option open, saying, “You can dress up anyway. There may be parties, so what do you want to be?” (|Full disclosure, I love Halloween and have loved making costumes for my children. Though I have lost sleep and shed tears in that last week of October, I enjoyed it when they challenged me to create something out of the ordinary.)
Many adults think that once a child reaches a certain age or height that this fall ritual should end. They see trick-or-treating as an activity for small children and think that older kids are being greedy. Though candy is a motivator, most teens just want to dress up. In fact, I have seen many teens hand off their candy to younger kids while walking away from a house. Dressing up is fun. It is not often that we have the opportunity to pretend to be someone else, if only for a couple hours. For us and our neighbors, Halloween is a community event, one of those days that we catch up with the people a block or two over, when we see how much the kids have grown. Some parents also dress up and it is fun to see their costume choices each year.
Personally, I like to see teenagers at my door on Halloween. Some years, it was the impetus that got my own kid out the door (rather than moping around at home), if only for a short time. When the kids were little, we divided tasks: my husband handed out candy at our house and I walked with the kids. At some point over the years, he decided to revive the concept of trick-or-treating, insisting that kids do a trick for a treat. Though some are surprised at this, the kids remember it and in later years have come to the door with something prepared (and sometimes an unsuspecting friend). Teens can be shy about this, but we often have been entertained with songs, dance moves and handstands.
I vividly remember the first Halloween I thought I was “too old” for trick-or-treating. I had a friend over and after the first few rounds of witches and ghouls came around, we decided we were wrong, we really weren’t too old. I had a pirate mask from a prior year, and it wasn’t too difficult to come up with the extras to make that work. My friend lived too far away to run home for a costume, so we improvised. We grabbed a black trash bag, created leg holes and tied it loosely around her neck. I think we added crumpled newspaper to fill it out. The image of her walking down the street in this costume and the answer when people asked what she was “A bag of trash, of course,” still makes me laugh.
Today, more so than ever, kids are growing up too fast. If they have a costume, no matter how lame, I’ll give them some candy (especially if they are willing to show us a trick.)

The concept of Universal Basic Income (UBI) is not new, but surprisingly few have heard of it or truly understand the reason for it and why, now more than ever, it is vitally important. In simplest terms, UBI is a regular cash payment made to every person. You don’t need to work for it and you can do anything you want with it. Some see it as money for nothing, a lazy person’s way of getting a handout from the rest of society.
Proponents, many of whom don’t actually ‘need’ UBI, see it as a necessary means to keep the wheels of civilization running smoothly as automation increasingly renders many, if not most, of our current jobs redundant.
Automation replacing human workers by the millions is not mere fantasy, and unlike previous ‘industrial’ revolutions, we are entering an age where machines can, and will, do everything we can do. In earlier times, we could always say, “Well, sure machines can do this or that really well, but only humans can do this other thing.” That is no longer the case as we enter a time where there is really nothing that a human can do (I’m talking about ‘jobs’ here) that a machine cannot do.
Pretending the problem isn’t real and suggesting that ‘people are just lazy’ or some other nonsense will bring about a future that will make the world wars seem like the good old days. Yeah, it’s that bad. It’s been said that the devil has work for idle hands. Imagine millions of idle hands, and now imagine that they don’t have enough to eat. More than one revolution or war has started for reasons as mundane as the need to put food on the table. We don’t need to go too far back to find examples. The Arab Spring began as demonstrations over high bread prices.
People have fairly basic needs and desires. Most of these have to do with living well and providing the same for your family. Most of us want to work, but not too hard. Life is, after all, for living. Give most humans a roof over their heads, a safe place to raise kids, food enough to fill bellies, and the chance to explore what the world has to offer, and most people will need little else. Notice I didn’t write ‘want‘ but ‘need‘. ‘Want’ is something else.
The coming, and unstoppable, wave of automation, led by increasingly capable machines and artificial intelligence, will forever change our world. Millions upon millions will find themselves without jobs and without any realistic future job prospects. Telling those people that they just need to suck it up, or to move, or to get retrained, or to find other work so that we can keep the engine of capitalism humming along will only lead to disaster.
Idle hands, remember?
We could, however, just as likely enter something akin to the Star Trek universe (minus the war with Klingons and Romulans) if we understand that defining people by what they do and forcing them to ‘earn’ their right to live, is a thing of the past; a vestigial organ from an earlier time. Like an appendix.
Capitalism is a lot like fossil fuels. It helped create our modern world, but it is starting to cause more harm than good. We can’t just dump capitalism overnight, but we must start to transition away from it. That’s what Universal Basic Income is; the first step in the transition to whatever comes next.

Our recent sample pack Essential House is on track to becoming one of our most popular releases yet! So, to help you get even more out of this stellar pack, we’ve put together a number of useful tips to help you take your House productions to the next level! In part 1 of this blog post we touch upon all the essential elements that your House productions need, like groove, drums, vocals and much more!
If you haven’t yet, you can check out the pack here: Essential House
1. Adding Groove
This is one of the most important aspects of producing house music, the “essential” which makes you shake your head or clap your feet. The easiest way to add groove to your production is with drums, that gives the main drive of the beat. Apply a certain swing or manual shifting forward or backwards from the grid of certain percussion elements can add that feeling. Your drum beat won’t sound that robotic this way, altough we talk about ‘electronic’ music here.
2. Kick & Bass
Staying in the drums department, the kick has a really important role in house music. I like to use punchy drums with a short attack because the baseline can integrate better, adding more low frequencies to the whole drive of the beat.
3. Simplicity is ‘KEY’
Most of the baseline rhythms are pretty simple, consisting of 3-4 notes, repeating and creating a movement. That’s why is also called “loop-based” music, because it has the tendency to be created from small parts (loops) which keep repeating a lot, but in the same time adding new elements every 8 or 16 bars gives the feeling of the track evolving.
4. Scales & chords
The use of chords is very important in House Music and very often used, as piano chords or stab chords. Depending of which feeling you to obtain, the use of major scales works best for happy “vibes” while minor scale works better for “moody” or darker gooves.
5. Vocal chops
The vocal rhythmic chops play an important part in house & tech house, most of the time add the main drive of groove and it’s also an easy way to spice up your track. Most of the times, the lower tones are the best addition to your house track, so go for pitching down a couple of semi-tones the vocal you use.
Stay tuned for Part 2 of this blog, filled with more essential tips & tricks, coming soon!

Who are you? What are you made of? These questions may cause people to stop and think about their lives but more often than not they are brushed off. Questions like these are difficult to think about because they bring one face to face with one’s own mistakes and failings. They destroy the perfectly cultivated facade… Continue reading Remind Me Who I Am

What is Big Tech’s surveillance-based business model?
You may have heard that Google and Facebook’s business model is built on gathering and monetising huge amounts of data about people – but what does that mean?
Google and Facebook’s services dominate the internet. Their services range from browsers (Chrome), mobile operating systems (Android), video sharing platforms (YouTube), messaging services (WhatsApp), social media (Facebook, Instagram), to Google Maps, Google Search, Google Calendar and Google Photos.
Advertisers are willing to pay more for detailed inferences and predictions about people – so Google and Facebook are constantly trying to find out more information about you to build as accurate a profile as possible. Our profiles include predictions of our moods, ethnicities, sexual orientation, political opinions, and vulnerabilities. In short – the more targeted an ad is to you; the more money Facebook or Google makes.
Many of us accept that giving some information to Google and Facebook is part of the deal of using their platforms. The problem is that the tracking is far more invasive than we realise, and amounts to ubiquitous corporate surveillance of our digital lives.
How far does Google and Facebook’s tracking reach?
Part of the reason the tracking can be so invasive is because of Facebook and Google’s dominance over the digital world, meaning its almost impossible to avoid.
For example, most smartphones use Google’s Android operating system. One study found that an idle Android phone sent Google 900 data points over the course of 24 hours, including location data. Facebook also tracks users on Android through its apps, logging people’s call and SMS history.
A 2018 study found that Facebook trackers are embedded in almost half of all free apps for Android. Trackers from Google’s parent company Alphabet are embedded in nearly 90% of all free Android apps. Both companies also constantly monitor which websites people are visiting, with Google trackers embedded in 86% of the top 50,000 websites according to a 2020 study.
What kind of data is being collected?
When you create a Google account, you give Google some personal information – such as your name and your password. But Google also tracks a huge range of activities: the places you go, the purchases you make, everything you do on the web while using Chrome, everything you search for while signed into Google, everything you do inside Google’s apps, all your Google assistant commands and your YouTube search and watch histories.
As a default, Google stores search history (including deleted searches) across all an individual’s devices, data on every app and extension they use and all their YouTube history.
Similarly, Facebook collects a huge amount of data about its platform users, including about the content you post, such as the location of a photo or the date a file was created. According to Facebook’s privacy policy, the company also collects data on the people you communicate with the most and the pages, accounts, hashtags and groups you are connected to.
Facebook can track you via web browsers, user IDs, consecutive logins, the time at which you logged in and which chat tabs are open. Even if you are not browsing Facebook, Facebook is watching what you are doing.
Facebook also collects data on people who don’t even have a Facebook account. It owns WhatsApp and Instagram and can pull data from those platforms as well. Like Google, Facebook’s reach goes far beyond Facebook itself – the two companies sit at the heart of digital advertising, tracking people across the digital world and combining the data with the information obtained through their platforms.
These companies can gather information about almost every aspect of us, and they are constantly working to expand their reach – including into our innermost thoughts, with innovations such as brain-computer interfaces.
Predicting our behaviour
Data-gathering practices like these mean that Google and Facebook can infer information about you that you haven’t knowingly or willingly given to them.
This includes details like hobbies, career, interests, location, relationship status, possible weight, income, who you talk to and what time you go to sleep. It can also include extremely personal and private information, such as whether you have searched for incest/abuse support, incontinence, infertility, mental health or STDs.
All these details are used to create a detailed profile about you, which can then be used to target you with specific ads.
You can even be targeted based on your vulnerabilities.
Googled a question about financial help? See an ad for a loan company.
Watched a YouTube video on mental health? See an ad for antidepressants.
Recently updated your Facebook relationship status to ‘Single’? See an ad for a dating app.
AI systems are making it easier than ever for the companies to make predictions about us – in 2018, Facebook stated that one of its machine learning frameworks was making up to 200 trillion predictions a day. These predictions are used to target ads towards us – the platforms understanding of our behaviours, and the details of our lives are being used to create profit. And that profit-making drive is pushing the platforms to find more ways to gain increasingly personal information about us.
Facebook and Google’s business model is based on ubiquitous surveillance of our digital lives, which is an assault on our right to privacy and threatens a range of other rights. Our lives are tied to the internet – so it’s essential that we have basic human rights protections online.
With such enormous profits at stake, Big Tech companies can’t be trusted to regulate themselves – governments need to step in and make sure that laws affecting the tech sector take a human rights-based approach, so that everyone can access the internet and enjoy their human rights.

Through the Localism Act the government has given local communities powers to have a direct say in the future development of their neighbourhood, parish or town. A Neighbourhood Plan is a planning document that guides and shapes development in the local area and is created by local people.
Neighbourhood Plans are about local development issues. For example where new homes should go, or what places should look like. They will have a focus on guiding development rather than stopping it.

ALAMEDA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AgeX Therapeutics, Inc. (“AgeX”; NYSE American: AGE), a biotechnology company developing therapeutics for human aging and regeneration, reported its financial and operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of November 12, 2021, AgeX has $1.5 million of funds remaining for borrowings under two credit facilities from Juvenescence Limited (“Juvenescence”). In addition, AgeX may sell up to $12.1 million of its common stock in “at-the-market” transactions through a Sales Agreement with Chardan Capital, LLC as a sales agent.
Going Concern Considerations
As required under Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (ASC 205-40), AgeX evaluates whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet its future financial obligations as they become due within one year after the date its financial statements are issued. Based on AgeX’s most recent projected cash flows, AgeX believes that its cash and cash equivalents and available sources of debt and equity capital would not be sufficient to satisfy AgeX’s anticipated operating and other funding requirements for the twelve months following the filing of AgeX’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the ability of AgeX to continue as a going concern.
Balance Sheet Information
Cash, and cash equivalents, and restricted cash totaled $0.8 million as of September 30, 2021. Since October 1, 2021, AgeX has received an additional $0.5 million of cash through a loan from Juvenescence.
Third Quarter 2021 Operating Results
The following comparisons exclude the impact of the operations of LifeMap Sciences, Inc. (“LifeMap Sciences”) which have been presented in AgeX’s consolidated financial results as discontinued operations for all periods presented due to the disposition of AgeX’s shares of LifeMap Sciences in a cash-out merger during March 2021.
Revenues: Total revenues for the third quarter of 2021 were $24,000 as compared with $69,000 for the third quarter of 2020, primarily comprised of allowable expenses under a research grant from the NIH and sales of research products including stem cell products.
Operating expenses: Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $1.7 million as compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 2020.
Research and development expenses decreased by $0.4 million to $0.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 from $0.7 million during the same period of 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in research and development related activities that began in May 2020 and shut down of our lab facilities as of December 31, 2020, the date on which our office and laboratory lease agreement expired. Effective January 1, 2021, AgeX relocated its principal offices leased space at a lower rent that includes office space, office furniture rental, janitorial services, utilities and internet service.
General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.4 million to $1.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 from $1.8 million during the same period in 2020 largely due to certain non-recurring project related expenses incurred which started from the third quarter in 2020 through the second quarter in 2021.
Other expense, net: Other expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 consisted primarily of amortization of deferred debt cost to interest expense.

The scariest thing about Halloween may be what’s lurking in candy
Halloween is just days away, when children will dress up as ghosts, zombies and other scary creatures while they trick-or-treat.
But the spookiest thing about this season may be not the costumes but the harmful additives in popular candy. Whether buying sweets to hand out, or just to eat at home, parents must choose between name-brand treats their kids love and healthier but possibly less exciting snacks.
You might find the choice easier after learning about the risks of certain food additives – and check out our suggestions for safer Halloween treats.
Look at the label: Three widely used additives and their risks
Three of the most common additives in well-known types of candy are titanium dioxide, tertiary butylhydroquinone, or TBHQ, and butylated hydroxytoluene, or BHT. This ghoulish trio has repeatedly been linked to a wide range of potential health harms.
Titanium dioxide gives some types of candy their smooth texture and bright color. It’s used in Skittles, Starburst, Sour Patch Kids, Swedish Fish and Trolli gummies.
Scientists have warned for years about the potential health risks of titanium dioxide because it can accumulate in the body and lead to DNA damage and hormone disruption. Earlier this year, the European Food Safety Authority assessed the additive as being unsafe for consumption.
TBHQ is a food preservative that prolongs the shelf life of candies and snacks such as Reese’s, Pop-Tarts, Cheez-Its and more than a thousand other processed foods. TBHQ can harm the immune system, according to an EWG study published this year in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health.
Other studies have shown how the additive can impair flu vaccine efficacy and raise the risk of food allergies. The Food and Drug Administration approved the use of TBHQ years ago and has not reevaluated it in light of new science that raises questions about its safety.
BHT, used in Rice Krispies Treats and Charms Blow Pops, has been listed by the FDA as generally recognized as safe. But some studies have shown it can cause cancer in animals and may act as an endocrine disruptor.
Get Your Free Guide: EWG's Guide to Food Additives
Helping your kids avoid harmful candy
It may seem overwhelming to find out about the widespread use of these harmful food additives in candy. But there are steps you can take to help your children avoid them.
Checking the ingredients labels for the presence of these additives may be the best way to make sure they don’t make their way into your home.
It's also helpful to avoid ultra-processed foods, which often have high levels of chemical additives and preservatives. Our Food Scores database and Healthy Living App can make it easier to shop for healthier alternatives.
And check out EWG’s list of Halloween treat alternatives kids enjoy – snacks that are organic and non-GMO, made with natural flavors and colors, with fairly low amounts of sugar, and without allergens.
Join the campaign to reduce the risk of food additives
You can also help build pressure on the FDA to evaluate the safety of common additives like titanium dioxide, TBHQ and BHT and ban them when necessary.
The FDA must also close the loophole that allows harmful additives in food. This would help ensure that no new additives could be included without the agency’s review. By sending a tweet with the hashtag #ToxicFreeFoodFDA and calling for an end to the loophole, you can help EWG in urging FDA to heed this call.
For more information about these chemicals, check out EWG’s Dirty Dozen Guide to Food Additives and our Food Additives State of the Science.

‘Clearly not having any cheat meals’: Tszyu opponent stuns with ripped physique
Takeshi Inoue is looking in fantastic shape for the fight.Source: Twitter
Staff Writers from Fox Sports
November 9th, 2021 6:41 pm
Tim Tszyu is set to have a big fight on his hands after his opponent, world No.7 Takeshi Inoue, showed off his ripped condition ahead of the bout.
The Japanese fighter has only lost once in his 19 professional bouts and that was in a world-title fight against Jaime Munguia, who is considered one of the best middleweights in the world.
He has 10 knockouts in those fights and will provide Tszyu’s toughest test to date as he continues to build towards a world title fight of his own.

And Inoue left onlookers stunned with the shape he has arrived in for the fight, something which he has put down to his conditioning and Australian diet since entered the country.
“My condition has got better since I came here,” he said through a translator. “I like Australian food. I like Australian beef steak.”
He also said he expects to beat Tszyu inside the distance and the fact that he hasn’t fought outside of Australia before will play into the Japanese boxer’s hands come November 17.
“Towards the end of the fight, I’m thinking about that’s when I will knockout Tim Tszyu, that’s how I’ve been practicing for the fight.
“Tim Tszyu has only ever fought in Australia, he hasn’t got experience overseas. I have more experience, including against Munguia, when although I lost, the fight was very close.
“I’m confident, I have much more experience so I think I can beat Tim Tszyu.”
Asked later about Inoue’s condition Tszyu was clearly impressed and admitted he had to be wary of his Japanese opponent’s size and aggressive style.
“He looks like he’s in good shape, so hopefully we get the best version of him,” Tszyu told Fox Sports News.
“.... My ring IQ will definitely show in this fight. I have to be composed, this is a fight I can’t rush. Every punch counts, every little thing counts. It’s a strategic fight for me, it’s not just a brawl.”

From the ancient Greek for equality in freedom of speech; an eclectic mix of thoughts, large and small
Turbo-Electric Hybrids
Wednesday, July 14th, 2010
A series-hybrid, or Range-Extended Electric Vehicle (REEV), like the Chevy Volt, uses electric motors — which have a high power-to-weight ratio and provide adequate torque over a wide range of speeds — to spin the wheels.
The hybrid’s internal combustion engine isn’t connected to the wheels by a heavy transmission. It simply runs a generator and then sends the generated electricity to the electric motors, which turn the wheels. The only transmission is electric.
This isn’t a new idea. So-called Diesel locomotives are actually Diesel-electric locomotives. Eliminating the mechanical transmission is especially helpful when you have four or more axles, and you need dozens of different gears to keep the engine within its power band.
What a modern hybrid adds is significant battery storage between the generator and the motors, so the engine can always run at its optimal speed, either storing extra energy in the batteries or drawing some off, as demand fluctuates. But even this isn’t new; pre-nuclear diesel submarines used their engines to charge batteries while on the surface and ran all-electric when submerged without air.
Of course, once you’ve switched to electric motors, you’re no longer tied to any one kind of generator, and you may decide to switch away from a conventional, reciprocating, piston engine to a gas turbine engine, which has its own strengths and weaknesses:
Advantages of gas turbine engines
Very high power-to-weight ratio, compared to reciprocating engines;
Smaller than most reciprocating engines of the same power rating.
Moves in one direction only, with far less vibration than a reciprocating engine.
Fewer moving parts than reciprocating engines.
Low operating pressures.
High operation speeds.
Low lubricating oil cost and consumption.
Disadvantages of gas turbine engines
Cost
Less efficient than reciprocating engines at idle
Longer startup than reciprocating engines
Less responsive to changes in power demand compared to reciprocating engines
Those disadvantages are significant in a passenger road vehicle — as Chrysler found out — until you disconnect the turbine from the wheels and switch to a turbo-electric hybrid, with batteries to buffer power demand.
GM apparently did just that, if only briefly, in 1999, with an experimental version of its EV1, which used a 100-kg (220-lb) gas turbine to deliver 40 kW of electrical power, enough to achieve speeds up to 80 mph (128.8 km/h) and to return the car’s 44 NiMH cells to a 50% charge level:
A fuel tank capacity of 6.5 US gal (24.6 L; 5.4 imp gal) and fuel economy of 60 mpg-US (3.9 L/100 km; 72 mpg-imp) to 100 mpg-US (2.4 L/100 km; 120 mpg-imp) in hybrid mode, depending on the driving conditions, allowed for a highway range of more than 390 miles (627.6 km). The car accelerated to 0-60 mph (96.6 km/h) in 9 seconds.
Now Capstone Turbine Corporation is putting its MicroTurbines in hybrid electric buses, trolleys, and supercars:
The CMT-380 plug-in hybrid is powered by lithium-polymer batteries that can be charged at home or at public recharging stations. The car can operate on battery power alone for up to 80 miles. Then, when batteries reach a predetermined state of discharge, the Capstone C30 microturbine starts up to recharge the batteries and extend driving range up to 500 miles. The C-30 provides 30 kW of electric power and can run on a variety of fuels including natural gas, landfill gas, biodiesel, diesel, kerosene, and propane.
Interestingly, the CMT-380 was developed by Richard Hilleman, Chief Creative Director at video game producer Electronic Arts, with support from Capstone Turbine. The series hybrid system is installed in a Factory Five Racing GTM body and chassis that’s normally powered by a Chevy Corvette V-8. The result is a supercar with a 0-60 mph acceleration time of 3.9 seconds and 150 mph top speed.
The CMT-380′s microturbine features an electric generator and turbine components mounted on a single shaft supported by air bearings. Capstone microturbines operate at extremely high speeds of up to 96,000 rpm, resulting in a very high power-to-weight ratio. No liquids are needed to lubricate or cool the microturbine so little maintenance is required.
While this microturbine hybrid was developed primarily to showcase the potential of microturbines in hybrid range extender applications, substantial interest has prompted the company to plan for the production of a limited number of these high-tech supercars for discerning customers. No price has been identified.

Wang Wei Lin: Personally, I prefer FAAFO since overwhelming unrelenting and unbounded force usually brings a quick conclusion.
Wang Wei Lin: I don’t see the price of the machines as prohibitive. Standard machining stations and cells are commonly over $250,000. Three things are the measure of any part or process: cost, reliabilty and quality. Control these and you can build anything you want, additive or subtractive.
Jim: “ethnic German”
Handle: Heh, oh that Lind. It’s always the same story, though oddly no one notices the uniform pattern or explains why there’s a common theme. Part of why the right always gets duped. There is in fact a natural, strong, and straightforward “conservative case for” almost every kind of state subsidy, transfer, infrastructure, or primarily economic program which is at least marketed at helping otherwise decent and hardworking members of “the struggle is real” class, which...
Isegoria: I’m reminded of William Lind’s conservative case for public transportation.
Harry Jones: Depends. How quickly can they give up their pacifism?
Jim: DJB: “A motorcyclist with a 1 in 860 chance of dying is truly astonishing. Most people have a 1 in 1 chance of dying.” lol
Jim: And Harry Jones, pray tell, how quickly and effectively do you think a group of hard-working, down-to-earth ethnic German agricultural folk can mobilize to secure their living space? /amishstudies/files/2015 /10/cropped-HeaderImage_ withWM.jpg
Jim: This was an anomaly, folks. The capitalists aren’t still doing this sort of thing, in every conceivable industry, with every conceivable product. Pinky swear.
Harry Jones: Defense is always relevant. No free ride lasts forever. The Amish survive and prosper in a terrarium created by the US government. Said government is looking shaky.
Handle: Wow, 21 minutes in 70 years, and that’s the success story. VRE (and MARC, with some differences) is an excellent passenger train service for commuting from the suburbs into DC for work, and would be good for better connecting the NOVA suburbs to DC in general for other trips, but it only exists as part of a deal made with the freight companies which own the tracks and use them intensely the rest of the time, and so passenger service is only available at very limited times during the work...
Bomag: I wonder what the Amish defense budget is? Teacher might have to step in here and explain it for us slow ones. I initially thought it a compliment: those who spend less on defense in the modern world have higher fertility and social cohesion. But maybe it’s a criticism: the Amish are drafting off the security provided by non-Amish.
Jim: Harry Jones: “I wonder what the Amish defense budget is?” You’re too smart to sincerely ask such an irrelevant question.
Jim: Uneducated: “If they read the Bible and steer clear of college, they’re well educated. Won’t be many engineers or doctors among them, but we’d all be better off without most doctors.” No,stitution given the stamp of approval by middle-class bureaucrats and lawyers.
Harry Jones: I wonder what the Amish defense budget is?
Bob Sykes: Some years ago, the Columbus Dispatch published and analysis of Amish farm economics. Amish farms are substantially more profitable than conventional farms, despite the substantially lower yields. Amish profits depend on: (1) no powered machinery, (fuels, maintenance, capital investment); (2) no fertilizer (other than manure) or insecticides; (3) unpaid family labor and sharing labor with neighbors (barn raisings); cash only finances (no interest costs). It helps to live modestly and to be...
Lucklucky: This is the most important part. “…theorists of virtue politics elevate the selection of rulers over the restriction of their power…” Marxism is this primitive. No checks and balances, no limits on power. Read Hegel. The “ethical state” is the reason for more than 100 million political deaths in The 20th Century.
Uneducated: If they read the Bible and steer clear of college, they’re well educated. Won’t be many engineers or doctors among them, but we’d all be better off without most doctors.
Goober: Harry, yes, absolutely. This makes me think about how we’re constantly being scolded about not using mass transportation, in much the same way that we’re constantly scolded about our carbon emissioass I’d be on it. Scold me about driving to work all you want, I have no other option for most of...

Basic Questions of Tort Law | from a Germanic Perspective - Zivilrecht - Buchprogramm - Jan Sramek Verlag

Publikationsdatum: 01.10.2012
Buchumfang: XXIII, 380 Seiten

Format: 17 x 24 cm
ISBN: 978-3-902638-85-4
This book is the first part of a project supported by the Austrian Science Fund, which seeks to produce answers to the basic questions of tort law in Europe from a comparative perspective. » Basic Questions of Tort Law from a Germanic Perspective « is intended to provide a basis for comprehensive responses by representatives of other European legal families and jurisdictions outside Europe on the fundamental ideas elaborated in this book.
The book in hand tries to give a more extensive introduction to the delictual and contractual law of liability and damages. It addresses basic problems and questions and where appropriate elaborates upon them; it queries the usual arguments, prompts the reconsideration of apparently established ideas and enhances awareness of interrelationships. Above all the position of the law of tort within the overall system for the protection of legal goods is examined. The resulting conclusions serve to facilitate the subsequent elaboration of the tasks of the law of tort, in which context the increasingly emphasised economic function is discussed as well as the compensatory, deterrent and penal functions.
However, the book is not limited to these very general considerations but also seeks to apply the insights gained in order to examine both general and more specific questions. These in turn aim to provide the reader with information which will enable him or her to understand better the ideas in foreign legal systems. Nonetheless, no attempt is made to provide a complete overview; instead the focus is on particularly controversial issues and new approaches. Not only is the relationship between breaches of obligations and torts examined, the basic requirements for a claim under tort law – damage and causation – are discussed. An extensive section is devoted to the elements of establishing liability; besides wrongfulness and fault, other defects within the sphere of the party liable for damages are looked at: for example, the capacity to bear the economic burden, insurability, the notion of a risk community and the interplay of the various elements. The question of liability on the side of the victim, ie contributory responsibility, is looked at anew – starting from basic principles. After the limitation of liability, the compensation of damage and the reduction of the duty to compensate, a final section is devoted to the prescription of compensation claims.

BangSteel Long Range Rifle School
Precision shooting to 1000 yards... and beyond...
Come and take a class with us. It's a very relaxing, enjoyable time in a beautiful location. A place you'll want to come back to--we promise!
What we "aim" to do at BangSteel is to successfully train long range riflemen for "real world" scenarios, equipping them with a basic working knowledge of what they need--and just as importantly, what they don't need--to reliably hit their mark at long range. While many schools and the philosophies behind those schools have an unrealistic emphasis on role playing and equipment fetishes, we do things quite differently. We want to reach those "19 out of 20" riflemen who are left on the sidelines by the high prices of most shooting schools--not even to mention the cost of the equipment they apparently think you need.
Located in the beautiful mountains of southwestern Virginia, BangSteel Long Range Shooting School provides affordable training for the long range rifleman. We believe that every American should know how to properly handle a rifle at long range. We offer 1000+ yard long range rifle training to men and women, both young and old. We operate on an "old school" mindset--which we'll explain the reasons for during the course. We remain quite concerned over the proliferation of what we call "cyber-shooting"; the dependence on electronics for long range shot solutions. We will teach you a faster--and a better way.
Please email for class dates, as we do not publish an event calendar on this site... When you email, be sure to mention what approximate month and week you'd like to attend. Private one day classes for individuals or groups (up to 4 persons) are available if you're willing to schedule Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday... we can do private 2 day classes for groups of 2 or more... Private 2 day, 1 person classes are available December through February...

The long range, well placed rifle shot... in truth, it is elusive to most riflemen.
How many times have you had to pass up an opportunity in the hunting fields because you were not confident that you could make a good long range shot? It's not that your rifle wouldn't do the job--it's simply that you wisely knew your limitations, and you chose not to shoot.
But what if you could learn how to use the rifle and scope you likely already have to connect at long range on "kill zone" sized targets? Perhaps that trophy buck wouldn't elude you next time... or that coyote at 650 yards wouldn't walk away from a "Hail Mary" shot unscathed, when you tried to use hold-over to take him out.
We do not advocate taking long range shots on game unless and until you have the knowledge that will allow you to humanely do so--which means the likelihood of a miss or worse yet an ill placed shot is extremely low. In order to attain this knowledge, you need to be trained properly. You need good and useful and practical by nonsense.
Learning the limitations of your rifle and your load--as well as your own personal limitations--is paramount. But you can extend those limitations to ranges far beyond what you may think possible. All you need is the right skill set.
There are plenty of good long range rifle schools out there, and I won't dissuade you from choosing any particular school you may wish--but will mention this caveat: Many schools you will find are primarily in the business of selling equipment or modifications to equipment, and naturally these schools will cast a jaundiced eye toward the notion that you can successfully engage targets at 1000 yards with a rifle you may have purchased at Walmart. Likely as not, they'll have a pedigreed guru of one stripe or another to tell you as much. But I'm here to tell you--and perhaps teach you (if I'm privileged to have you as a student) that it is indeed possible to use the rifle and scope that you may already have to make long range shots that you might never have dreamed possible.
Naturally, we do encourage riflemen to purchase and maintain the best equipment they can reasonably afford. That said, if we are to believe the mantra often espoused by "tactical" oriented instructors and enthusiasts, we need a cool five grand or more invested in our rifle and scope before we can reasonably hope to hit 1000 yard targets. And this simply isn't true. See again the rifle mentioned above. During a phone consultion, we can advise you on assembling a long range rifle package for 800 dollars or even less in some cases. See the "equipment consultation" phone call option on the Equipment Needs page.
To CONTACT US please email (if you get no response within 12 hours, please copy your email to )
If you are unable to reach us by email, or if you'd like one of us to call you to help answer questions, please leave us a text or voice mail at 276-613-6868 and we'll call you back. Before you call, please know that we don't rent range time, we offer long range shooting classes only, with prices posted on the "course outline and pricing" page.

"The band is called Swamp Coffin and the song is called 'Your Problem'. If you expected anything other than being bludgeoned by riffs until you're a firm part of the Earth's crust, then I don't know what to tell you. Because this is absolutely that in heaps and piles, and deserves to be listened to at only the loudest possible volumes."
YOUR PROBLEM. Swamp Coffin's new single. Premiering today exclusively over at Metal Injection.
Taken from the album Noose Almighty, out on APF 26th November.
Get it in your face.

Welcome to the ReachOut forums @amina
This sounds like a worrying situation for you - we have some information on our website about school, education and teenagers in case you'd like to have a read through it.
In terms of helping, I think the options would depend a lot ont is she's finding school hard, and whether there's anything she thinks might help?
I'm also wondering whether she has any supports in place - eg. support from school, counselling or other services, or study/academic support?
That's a lot of questions - but it would be great to hear your thoughts.

Hi @amina it sounds like you are trying your best to help her get to school. It's great to hear that her school are meeting with you. It must be difficult fitting this around your work and day-to-day life.
When I was young I struggled to go to school, even though I love learning. I was struggling with my emotions and that was making it hard for me to go to school.
I can't say for sure that this is the case with your daughter, but I'm wondering if you think there could be things happening at school that are making her unhappy?
Lots of parents are going through this athted

I also really struggled with school as a teen. I did really well when I actually tried but it took EVERYTHING in me to even half **bleep**. I struggled with my mental health until my 30s. I ended up having a nervous breakdown and found myself in the psych ward. I always knew something was off. I self diagnosed myself with depression but never sought help. Well after many therapy sessions and psychiatrist visits I was diagnosed Bipolar. After reflecting I am not sure how I didn't see that diagnosis coming. I struggled so hard for too long when I didn't need to. I wish talking about mental health was a priority and there wasn't such a stigma.
Anyway I rambled, I apologize. I would start with looking for a therapist/coun

Welcome to the forums @Sweetamysue and thank you so much for sharing your perspective.
I couldn't agree more with you that I think it's so important to be able to talk about mental health and stigma causes so much damage.
There's absolutely no shame in asking for support - it's courageous to be willing to be vulnerable and put yourself out there and ask for help when you need it.
Thanks again for being willing to share your story with us - it's really great to have you as part of the ReachOut community.

Most researchers are working explicitly to create more advanced artificial intelligence systems that can adapt to new data like the human brain does. Neural networks and machine learning possess the ability to learn from large data sets, which are beneficial to create a machine that can think and work like humans.
Why are neural networks so effective?
Neural Networks can have a large number of free parameters (the weights and biases between interconnected units) and this gives them the flexibility to fit highly complex data (when trained correctly) that other models are too simple to fit. The input to a NN contains information about the output hidden inside of it.
What are the key features of neural network for AI system?
Neural network key feature 1 In neural networks, the system consists of a large number of neurons, each of which can process information on its own so that instead of having a CPU process each piece of information one after the other, the neurons process vast amounts of information simultaneously.
Is data a domain of AI?
While the terms Data Science, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine learning fall in the same domain and are connected to each other, they have their specific applications and meaning.
What are the basic elements of AI?
To understand some of the deeper concepts, such as data mining, natural language processing, and driving software, you need to know the three basic AI concepts: machine learning, deep learning, and neural networks.
What is the role of neural networks in artificial intelligence?
The Role of Artificial Intelligence made it possible for machines to learn from experience to perform tasks more efficiently. The Artificial neural network is one of its advancements which is inspired by the structure of the human brain that helps computers and machines more like a human.
How are neural networks adaptable to the world?
Neural networks are adaptable i.e. they can modify themselves according to the training and run parallelly to provide more information about the world. If the network generates a “desired” output, then there is no need to change the trained input data, and vice-versa.
How are Anns used in artificial neural networks?
ANNs are given basic rules related to object relationships. The right decision must be taken in building the rules. Artificial neural networks have the ability to learn but they should be trained. There are many learning strategies namely: Supervised Learning: It involves a scholar.
How are neural networks used in reinforcement learning?
Reinforcement Learning: It is a strategy built based on observation. The ANN takes a decision by considering its environment. If the observations are supposed to be negative, the network adjusts its data to make a different decision for next time.

Prasher D. Issue of environmental noise and annoyance. Noise Health [serial online] 1999 [cited 2022 Aug 9];1:1-2. Available from:
In this special issue of the journal of Noise and Health, we consider the subject of annoyance from environmental noise. Annoyance is a particularly important psychological reaction as it affects an individual's quality of life. Furthermore any deterioration in the quality of life has implications for the health of the individual.
Any continued adverse psychological reaction may lead to changes in the immune system and thereby affect the physical well-being of the individual.
In this issue leading experts from the field consider non-acoustical factors which play a significant role in the annoyance from environmental noise.
The understanding of reactions to noise is a necessity for informed decision-making by public authorities.
The impact of noise based on noise levels alone do not reflect the true extent of the effect on the community. Although increasing noise levels show an increase in levels of annoyance, the absolute noise levels are not sufficient determinants of annoyance. A dripping tap with a very low sound level can be extremely annoying when concentration is of the utmost importance.
Activity disturbance plays a major role in the general reaction to noise. Complaints of community noise nuisance have trebled in the last decade in the UK.
There is a growing awareness of the detrimental effect of excessive noise in the environment and a need to understand the factors that affect annoyance levels and how they may be altered to reduce the effect on Man.
This special edition of the Journal raises the importance of non-acoustical determinants of annoyance from environmental noise which we hope will stimulate discussion and offer ways of combating the negative psychological reactions.

Newly-elected school board member Ericka Ellis-Stewart has been tweeting links to school advocacy guides she's coming across as she prepares for her new job.
Ellis-Stewart
Ellis-Stewart, who has spent a good bit of time on the other side of the dais trying to sway board members' views , suggests it could be helpful for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools to produce something similar to this "Parents' Guide to School Board Advocacy" created by the ACLU in Washington state. She also tweeted this "Education Advocacy Toolkit" done by the League of United Latin American Citizens.
I forwarded the ACLU guide to Bill Anderson of MeckEd, asking if he's seen anything like this geared toward North Carolina or Charlotte . "This is actually a very good idea and something we will certainly consider," said Anderson, whose group is doing a presentation on advocacy for the Mecklenburg PTA Council tonight.
Meanwhile, people who want a voice in the direction of CMS will have an opportunity at a series of public meetings next week to discuss the superintendent search.
At the moment, there don't seem to be the kind of controversies that bring large crowds out to lobby the board on specific issues. But a trio of community groups recently met to try to boost the voice of minority and low-income families in CMS decision-making. And a coalition of families from various elementary and middle schools have been pushing the board to rethink the longer elementary school hours and later starting times rolled out this year.

When I first read that Erika was recommending something put out by the ACLU I thought to myself "Uh-oh, not a good sign". However after reading the Washington State ACLU's guide to parent advocacy I found it to contain very sound suggestions for approaching the board about parental concerns. Some of our local advocates, especially those who frequently address the board, should take note of one point in particular--"Remember to always be respectful".

Define advocacy....
Since that seems to be the central theme of the ACLU guide, if parents decide they don't want gay history to be mandated in every classroom (as is now the law in California), isn't that advocacy?
Isn't that being vocal and active?
What if "advocay groups" decide they want a return to busing?
Does it boil down to who yells the loudest or has the most toys at the end of the day?
You get what you vote for and this is what you got.
Good luck.

Wiley,
Everything does not have a sinister intent. The goal encouraging parents and community stakeholders to get engaged with public education for the good of all students will have a positive impact on our school district. Your consistent negativity does nothing to positively impact children or our community.
Does the source of the guide matter when the information contained within is clearly beneficial and not geared towards any one issue? The goal is to encourage and educate parents on how to partner with elected bodies to make positive changes for children through active and constructive advocacy.
The definition of advocacy is as follows:
To speak or write in favor of; support or urge by argument; recommend publicly:
The act of pleading or arguing in favor of something, such as a cause, idea, or policy; active support

Actually Wiley, the ACLU guide does not recommend "yelling the loudest". And it contains a section emphasizing that school boards represent "everyone" in the community, not just a particular group of students. It recommends that advocates consider how their particular cause is going to effect the entire community. That's why I was surprised on reading it.
And Wiley, hush about the busing issue. Don't you know that a return to busing has never crossed any local advocate's mind since the court case was settled? So foolish to be concerned about that! (hah!)

By the way, I think Ann's picture looks decent. I'm not a big fan of all of her reporting, but the photo she has of herself wouldn't be something that I'd ever suggest changing.

Was anyone else blown away today by the email from CMS COMMUNICATIONS asking teachers to help recruit people into the TEACH CHARLOTTE program... yes, I am going to find people who aren't trained to do my job so you can train them in a bad TFA (I know, redundant) style to take classroom jobs while at the same time our pay has been frozen for a bit now and we have had RIFS for the past several years... Yes, let me get you the names of people I know right now who are just dying to learn how to be a teacher but didn't go to school to be one... SERIOUSLY??

Do you know someone who would make a great teacher? Refer them to TEACH Charlotte today:
You made the choice to dedicate each day to supporting education in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. You probably know other outstanding individuals who are also looking for an opportunity to make a difference by becoming teachers. While CMS currently has an accomplished group of professional educators, the need for additional high-quality teachers is always great. The TEACH Charlotte program is an aggressive campaign to recruit local and committed professionals, community members, and recent college graduates who have the potential to become effective teachers, joining us in our efforts to increase student achievement in CMS classrooms.
TEACH Charlotte is a highly selective, innovative path for talented mid-career professionals and recent college graduates to become teachers and make a measurable difference in the most critical subject areas of math, science, EC, and Spanish as well as elementary, English, and language arts. The goal of TEACH Charlotte is to recruit, select, and train only the most outstanding candidates who have the potential to effectively increase student achievement in their classrooms.
TEACH Charlotte participants will:
Complete a rigorous summer training to develop their ability to affect student achievement as a new teacher in a high-need school;
Achieve significant academic growth with all of their students and hold themselves accountable by measuring student outcomes in their classrooms;
Complete lateral entry requirements through the TEACH Charlotte TNTP Academy during their first year teaching to earn North Carolina licensure.
Committed educators attract other committed educators; therefore, principals and current teachers are the key to helping us attract the community’s brightest leaders to become teachers.
As soon as possible, refer any high quality professionals who you think would make great teachers to our website, to apply to teach or help share information about this opportunity to others who might be interested in applying. The early application deadline is Dec.19.
We know that teacher quality is the most critical factor in raising student achievement for all students, regardless of background or socioeconomic status. TEACH Charlotte is committed to rlory O’Connell, TEACH Charlotte site manager, with any questions or suggestions.

WHY WOULD A DEDICATED PROFESSIONAL GO INTO TEACHING???
1. THEY WILL GET NO RESPECT FROM PARENTS, ADMINISTRATORS or COMMUNITY LEADERS.
2. THE JOB BARELY PAYS A LIVING WAGE.
3. TEACHERS HAVE NOT HAD A PAY RAISE FOR FOUR YEARS.
4. TEACHERS ARE ASSUALTED AND CUSSED AT EVERYDAY WITHIN CMS.
5. TEACH FOR AMERICA IS DOING THE SAME JOB YOU ARE DOING!
6. THE NEW TEACHER PROJECT IS DOING THE SAME JOB YOU ARE DOING!

"Yelling the loudest"..
from he Latin guide:
It is self-evident that multiple letters and phone calls have a greater effect than does a single communication.
From the ACLU report:
If you are going to a school board meeting, bring along as many other parents, students and community members as you can!
This is pretty much standard fare at many CMS BOE meetings, but all that advocacy doesn't amount to a hill of beans if little Johnny can't read...

Only an Individuals who has not had a four year college/university degree in Education would think this statement makes since. A persons determination to pursue and complete a degree in Education (which pays poorly and is ridiculed by society) shows true commitment to ensuring the academic success of our students and our schools. Anything (person) else is a “shot in the dark”. And this is exactly what CMS is desperately willing to put in it’s classrooms trying to replace the quality teachers thatmale. She is clearly nowhere near beauty queen status but unquestionably needs a quick upgrade shot. And please do something about that frizzy hair. Clairol conditioner works wonders.
Also close your mouth to avoid showing the large somewhat crooked teeth on your next pic or see your orthodonist.

CMS has countless education advocates. However, to advocate truth is to put paychecks on the line.
Erika is doing good for the community seeking methods to discern truth in a culture where manipulated numbers, turf, staged confusion and corporate dollars often set the bar.
May Erika find truth in Mecklenburg people, not corporate based spin doctors who care not for education.

Excellence is the heart of our core belief: excellence of our people; excellence of our development process; excellence in our ethics.
To create our communities, we rely on a combination of strategic analysis, market research and attention to detail. We research cities, neighborhoods and trends, to identify prime locations for visionary, innovative, market-setting properties of immediate and lasting value.
As careful stewards of trend setting apartment communities we provide conscientious, caring management and state-of-the art accounting, reporting and controls.
A Fein community is more than apartments. Offering a comparable experience, superb amenities, and caring property management. Our communities provide an environment of beauty and comfort.
testimonials
Our experience is very positive! The Team is always helpful and avaioable. Devin, Mable, Roxanne and Francisco are delivering a fantastic service! Small problems are solved immediately. We enjoy being part of the community!
Resident • Pavilion at The Groves
We moved in over a month ago and have had a great experience. We moved from another state and were paying a lot less but getting nothing. This apartment, you pay for what you get. They did not shorten out with amenities or style. I think all amenities are open at this point and no longer under construction so it’s great! We have a toddler and he loves the playground and the playroom in the gym. The neighbors are also great. We love the location too because it feels a little more tucked away than other apartments in the area but still close to shops. They also host monthly events which are nice so you can feel a sense of community. Will definitely be renewing our lease if we end up staying in this area!
Resident • Pavilion at The Groves
My entire transition was so smooth and not stressful at all! Devin was so amazing and helpful throughout my entire leasing process!!! Her energy is so contagious! I've also have the pleasure of knowing Claire from a sister property I toured, and she is so knowledgeable and so personable! To top it off, Mabel was SO welcoming and excited during my move-in and made sure that everything was in order for me! With these 3 wonderful ladies, this place already feels like home <3 The property is in such a perfect location and is not surrounded by commercial development which is a huge plus!
Resident • Pavilion at The Groves
I visited The Pavilion recently, and it was exceptional. The apartments give a brand new luxury feeling. I had Claire show me around and she was outstanding. Knowing it was knew she answered all my questions with ease. Beautiful property with even better staff.
Resident • Pavilion at The Groves
I can’t say enough great things about this apartment complex! The lobby and apartments are beautiful and I love that the building is brand new. But most of all, the leasing staff have been amazing! Terry and Omar have literally provided the best customer service that I’ve ever experienced with an apartment before. I originally submitted an application with another nearby complex, however, Terry and Omar convinced me otherwise and I’ve had no regrets switching. I know I’ll be taken care of while living here and I can’t wait to move in!
Resident • Reverie at River Hollow
Soo excited to become a part of this community here at Reverie! Besides the property being new and beautiful with great amenities, I was assisted by Jordan and she completely won me over with her knowledge and customer service. From the start she made me feel comfortable to ask all the questions I had regarding the tour, she engaged in conversations outside of apartment questions and was just great to be around. She is so professional, efficient and goes above and beyond on everything you could possibly need. I went back and forth on if I was going to move from my current place but she worked magic and made sure that Reverie was going to be my new home! It just gives a place the extra positive note, when you have amazing people like her working there! The upper management was great too and very willing to work with you and make you feel like you belong in there community.
Resident • Reverie at River Hollow
The Reverie is the most beautiful apartment I have seen in a while, with amazing amenities! Omar was so friendly and made it super easy to discuss and eventually sign my lease contract! I had a bad experience at a different complex/company and was frantic to find the perfect home, and Omar made sure of that! Cannot wait to move in and call The Reverie home!
Resident • Reverie at River Hollow
Living here is just great. We're really happy we found this place. The staff here is so friendly, so helpful, and so dedicated to making the Belmont such a wonderful place to be. We know they work really hard, but somehow make it seem like a breeze. Thanks so much for everything you do.
Resident • The Belmont
The Belmont has been my home for over 3 years now. Amazing apartment complex, in a great location, and a staff that goes above and beyond for it's residents. Apartments are spacious and continually updated. They have done a great job on bug control. Maintenance is always swift and they are very friendly. Connected to HEB, and there is a lot building up around us. Going back to the staff, they are all phenomenal. Robert and Valentina have been around since I got here, and they both deserve awards for the fine work they do. Ariel, the current manager, is friendly, professional, and courteous. I can see why they brought her in, and I only expect for her to do amazing things for the Martin Fein company.
Resident • The Belmont
I’ve lived here for 6.5yrs, and I’m still loving it. The location, and the layout of this complex were what made me decide to live here, but it’s the staffs, and the consistent maintain experience standards that make me stay. From the office staffs, to the maintenance crews, everyone is so earnest in doing their job. Shout out to Lina Villegas, who is awesome, Robert who is forever friendly and warm!

Johan Puke was wearing his big woolen coat with the large collar turned up. He was standing on the quarterdeck of his frigate HMS Venus somewhat protected by the poopdeck from the icy cold wind. Being armed with 26 guns of 24 skålpund and 14 of 6 skålpund giving her a broadside of 354 skålpund (332 lb) she could hit hard, her heavy guns being very powerful, but she was still great at sailing. Her maneauvrability and speed was comparable to much smaller frigates. The design had been made by Fredrik af Chapman and as most of his designs it was very successful. HMS Venus was very much the queen of her own destiny. Johan's orders were to take, sink, or burn any ships he could reasonably match without taking any unnecessary risks. It was very much up to himself to interpret them and decide what to do. He suspected these orders had been made out to keep him occupied while political considerations were made about how to reward him for his past success. He didn' care for riches or titles, but a promotion... He really wanted to be captain of a ship of the line. But now he was cruising the Baltic in his frigate, between Finska Viken and Rigabukten, an area where just about anying he would encounter would be Russian or trading with Russia, including Riga and S:t Petersburg, but there would also be a high risk of Russian naval ships.
HMS Venus was running with a good, steady wind doing six, perhaps seven knots, when the look out called out "Skepp i sikte!" Johan hurried forward, stepped up on the larboard railing and was up in the ratlines in no time. Below the futtock shrouds to the foretop he stopped and hooked his right arm around the foremost shroud and searched the gray blurr where the gray skies met the cold gray sea while readying his looking glass. There was a yellowish gray spot that in the looking glass could be identified as a ship in roughly the same size as his own. Returning to the quarterdeck he made a small correction to the course, heading for the unknown ship.
Johan made sure that he would engage the other ship from the windward. The other ship had not shown any signs of competing for the wind or turning away. This made Johan cautios and thoughtfully he turned to the tops and shouted "Kan ni se något annat?" Soon two more sails were pointed out on either side. "Så de förbannade ryssarna tror att de kan lura oss i en fälla. Sätt fulla segel!" Johan shouted, adding "Vi ska nog ta den fan."
It soon turned out to be a merchantman preparing to fight. Venus started turning into the wind to get her most forward guns to bare. Johan told the ansvarsstyrman, "Nedteckna tiden för bataljen." and with a loud shout commanded "Öppna elden!". The drum roll started and the orders came from the gun captains one after the other moving aft, "Fyr!". The guns spewed out fire and smoke and as the cannonballs started hitting the target it turned out that the enemy was not quite as brave as it had seemed. Олег quickly hauled down the colours.
The order to heave to came as soon as the colours came down. The boats were already in the water trailing behind. One was brought alongsides to accomodate the small crew of eight and an officer taking possession. Johan hated to loose crew for captured ships. He ordered them to keep close and if they didn't he would take that as a sign that Oleg needed to be retaken. As soon as HMS Venus was slow enough for the boat to be loaded the men started climbing into it, dragging it alongsides. Johan used the time to look closer at the other ships. Upwind there was a smaller frigate of perhaps 30 guns and Johan identified the downwind ship to be a two-decker, also a smaller one of perhaps 50 guns, but still a two-decker.
Soon the rowers were heaving and Venus once again had wind in her sails, sailing close hauled to meet the oncoming frigate. As it turned Johan counted to 32 guns. Perhaps an Astafii-class frigate.
The Merchant set full sails to try to stay on the far side of Venus from the two-decked ship.

Colour Options for Your European Windows We're used to seeing red, white and blue colours on our homes, but now that the holidays are coming to an end and Christmas time is rapidly approaching, we are turning our attention to colours that will make our homes look beautiful and we can choose from a huge range of colour schemes. No longer confined to the ever popular red, white and blue of the 60s, there is a huge range of colours now available on the market. But which colours will suit your home best? The bold colours of red, pink and yellow are still very popular. They provide vibrant ness, pizzazz and a general feeling of excitement and give your home and European windows a brand new feeling. Whilst the brighter tones of red and green are still very popular, they are becoming less popular as the Christmas season approaches. Christmas time is traditionally associated with bright colours, and unless you choose to buy a red and green combination, red and green would make a really boring combination and would certainly be less stylish than if you went for a more unusual, unusual combination. Orange and yellow are still very much popular and will continue to be for many years for European Windows, although these are slightly less traditional than the other classic colours. Both these colours provide great colour and give your home a healthy dose of colour and sunshine. They will also allow the home to look more open and spacious. Wooden and upvc frames of European Windows are very popular at the moment, and whilst some people may prefer the feel of traditional round European window frames, there is something about the horizontal movement that wooden frames offer. You will find that round and horizontal European Windows frames can create a very open, open feeling in your home, and the horizontal movement makes a dramatic entrance on the outside. You will find that wooden windows can be great for window treatments, because of their appearance, and even though they will not always look best in every home, they will always look great in a number of homes with the European Windows. Once again, European Windows treatments can be quite different, and you may have your heart set on using something slightly different, rather than plastic European Windows. It is all down to personal preference, and whichever you decide on, they will create a style and personality in your home. Perhaps you are looking for something a little more modern, with amazing curtains and furniture, and then you should consider investing in some new casement European Windows. Casement European Windows are great for providing a sense of space, whilst opening your home up to all sorts of additional possibilities, because unlike traditional windows. So whatever your home needs are, whether its colours style, character or design, there are amazing European Windows to suit any home, and the world of colours that are available will provide you with a wide range of options. This means that no matter what your budget is, you will be able to find some great alternatives.

Cycling UK is calling on Britain’s cyclists to support ten key changes to the code to make cycling safer, following the Government’s new consultation on the Highway Code launched earlier this week.
The ten changes include clearer guidance on overtaking cyclists (Rule 163), advice on the use of the Dutch Reach to prevent car-dooring, and clarification that groups of cyclists can cycle two abreast (Rule 66).
Other proposals include improving safety at junctions by making it clearer who has right of way and introducing a hierarchy of responsibility for different road users.
Cycling UK has produced a short film which shows why a simple rule change on priority at junctions is needed, bringing Britain in line with rules common across Europe. Whether you’re cycling, driving or walking – whoever is going straight ahead has right of way.
The new hierarchy would mean that people in charge of the largest vehicles, with the potential to cause the most harm in a collision, would bear the greatest responsibility to take care and reduce the danger they pose to others. This means a lorry driver would have a greater responsibility to those driving a car or motorcycle, and likewise, people cycling would have a greater responsibility than pedestrians.
The cycling charity, along with Living Streets and transport expert Phil Jones, has worked to influence the changes in the Department for Transport’s new consultation for over a year, and believes the changes proposed are ‘vital and long overdue’.
Duncan Dollimore Cycling UK’s head of campaigns, said: “We’ve been waiting for more than a decade for revisions to the Highway Code giving greater consideration to people cycling, and these ten key changes to Highway Code will make cycling safer.
“This hasn’t happened overnight. Back in 2018 more than ten thousand of Cycling UK’s members and supporters backed our call for these Highway Code changes in response to the Government’s cycle safety consultation. That support got us a seat at the discussion table – and together with our partners, we’ve made sure we have draft proposals which will improve cycle safety.
“The struggle to make the roads safer for everyone is not done – we need these proposed changes to be approved and make it into the new Highway Code. Cycling UK would call on everyone who supports safer roads for cycling to support the changes by heading to

I am very fortunate to have a wonderful fish mongers in a nearby town, and recently I discovered that not only do they have great fresh fish but they also stock some treasures in the freezer!
I love crab, my kids love crab, even my other half (who loves fish, but isn't big on shellfish) likes crab, Connolly's stock bags of crab claws and boxes of crab meat in the freezer. The crab meat is unlike any I have bought in the supermarket as there are great big chunks of crab in it, not just the normal little splinters. I bought a packet of the claws and a box of the meat, and when I got home while still frozen halved the box of crab meat, kept one half out and put the other in the freezer.
Then I put my thinking hat on (it's very becoming!!!) and this is what I came up with, it is a really luxurious dish, I recommend it wholeheartedly. Because it is a store cupboard (and freezer) meal, it would be very impressive to hand up to unexpected guests, and perhaps even to expected guests! I think that the crab claws add to the appearance of the dish, but it would still be wonderful without. I am planning on adding some steamed asparagus next time for colour.
Pasta with Creamed Crab
Serves 3
100g crab meat
15 crab claws (optional but up the crab meat content if not using them)
1 tbsp garlic oil (is using the claws)
2 tbsp creme fiche (light cream cheese would work too)
1 tbsp lemon juice
zest of half a lemon
pinch of something spicey (I used cayenne pepper)
1 tbsp of parsley - finely chopped (I didn't have any to hand)
plenty of salt and pepper.
Fry the crab claws in some garlic olive oil.
Combine all the other ingredients.
Prepare your pasta of choice.
Stir the crab mixture and pasta together.
Divide the crab claws artistically (!) on the pasta and serve.
Enjoy!

Care by Volvo is Volvo’s own subscription service, allowing customers access to the latest Volvo vehicles on a 24-month term, with the option to upgrade to the latest model after 12 months. Currently, customers have access to two cars from Volvo, and these can be fully customized on the website. Customers benefit from servicing and maintenance, as well as wear protection and insurance. The Care by Volvo subscription is available at Volvo dealerships throughout Canada.
How it works
Volvo assess your eligibility and go through the necessary ID and license checks before offering a price list. Then, you have a choice of two brand new Volvo vehicles, with tax, maintenance, servicing, breakdown cover and insurance included. The Volvo insurance policy is part age and part vehicle based.
The subscription term is 24 months, with the option to upgrade to a newer model after 12. Volvo take their monthly subscription charge one month in advance, and any other costs incurred are charged at the end of the term or on the annual service.
Customers also have access to the Volvo helpline if they have any problems and can either collect or arrange for delivery of their vehicle.
Costs and fees
Volvo don’t charge a deposit on their vehicles but do ask for the monthly subscription payments a month in advance. The fees vary, depending on vehicle and spec:
2021 V60 R-Design: $989 per month
2021 S60 R-Design: $969 per month
While there are currently only two vehicles to choose from, a look at the Care by Volvo model in the US and the UK suggest that the range will likely be expanded in the future.
Brands and models
Currently, customers can choose from the 2021 V60 R-Design or the 2021 S60 R-Design. The cars are brand new, so you can customize your vehicle by selecting trim and color before arranging to begin the service.
Notice periods
You cannot cancel your policy before the minimum 24-month period is up, but after that, you can trade your car in for a different model or even request to purchase the vehicle.
What’s special about Care by Volvo?
Care by Volvo is a subscription service run by a car manufacturer – Volvo. For fans of the brand, or for those who want to have access to new models and favorable dealership services, Care by Volvo makes sense. A 24-month subscription isn’t as flexible as some of its competitors, but it also allows you the option to purchase the vehicle at the end of the term, which pushes it even closer to a traditional lease business model.
However, the inclusion of insurance, maintenance, servicing and roadside assistance means that Care by Volvo operate as almost a hybrid lease/subscription company, which is a Unique Selling Point when compared with its subscription competitors.
Videos
Social media
Care by Volvo do not currently operate a social media presence (Canada).
Conclusion
Care by Volvo offer car subscriptions on new vehicles to drivers who meet the criteria, with insurance included. As their contract lengths are 2 years, they are less flexible than many of their competitors; however, they offer all the typical features of a car subscription (tyres, maintenance, servicing, breakdown cover, tax) as well as access to their Volvo on Call service.
For fans of Volvo cars, Care by Volvo will appeal as it offers the opportunity to drive their latest models without the hassle of ownership.

Care by Volvo know what they’re doing. They’ve figured out how to get more customers involved without having to buy and I think that’s great. The car range and the service itself is very professional and it feels like you can trust the service despite it being a bit unknown in Canada. - from JasonD | 30. January 2020
You get great cars and the customer service is faultless as far as I can see, but these are 2-year terms. I’d call that more a lease than a subscription, even with the perks. - from Charles1959 | 21. January 2020
Nice – I like getting access to new models as they come out and being able to change every 2 years so that I can get hold of them. Great idea! - from TopCat888 | 16. January 2020

Agree to step away. Agree to temporarily stop talking if things don’t go well. Wait until both individuals can talk in a calm, direct fashion. Use appropriate body language. How you position yourself physically while you talk can send important messages about your attitudes or express something you are not trying to convey. Don’t look away or slouch down. Nod your head in agreement. Avoid debate. Sometimes a teen feels he or she must “defend” a position. Then the conversation turns into a mini-debate. If you find yourself debating, try suggesting that you both approach matters from a different angle. Also, avoid statements that begin with “you” (“You did this…”). They make the other person feel attacked. Get Behind 21 Numerous studies show the 21 drinking age law has reduced underage drinking and saved thousands of lives. Research in the U.S. and Europe has never shown any benefit to drinking at a younger age or that teens could be safely “taught” to drink. On the contrary, they show that attempting to teach teens to drink results in increased binge drinking.
You might take your child to lunch or out for some ice cream where you could both sit down to talk and listen to one another. Communicate directly. Pick a time to speak when you can have each other’s undivided attention. Don’t discuss important things when one of you is absorbed in another activity, such as reading the newspaper, watching television, or texting. Emphasize common goals. Remind teens that you are on their side. Emphasize common goals, and use the shared goals as a basis for your guidance and suggestions. (For example, remind your teen that you both want him or her to stay healthy and safe.) Avoid communication “stoppers.” These are single statements that shut down any response. They are often threatening, such as “I better
not catch you drinking or else.” Recognize conflict is natural.
We are not identical to one another. We all have different beliefs and values; therefore, disagreement is a natural thing. We can use conflict as an opportunity to grow and learn about each other.

Die Sozialisierung des Wissens und das Streben nach Deutungsmacht — Lena Bergners Transfer der Isotype nach Mexiko
Sandra Neugärtner
Lena Bergner wird normalerweise als am Bauhaus ausgebildete Textilgestalterin charakterisiert. In ihrem zehnjährigen Exil in Mexiko widmete sie sich allerdings der grafischen Gestaltung, fast ausschließlich für antifaschistische Projekte. Eine Ausnahme sind ihre weitestgehend unbekannten Leistungen im Bereich der visuellen Kommunikation für das mexikanische Schulbaukomitee. Hier verwendete sie Otto Neuraths „Wiener Methode der Bildstatistik“ (Isotype). Dieser Text erörtert den Transfer der Isotype von Europa nach Mexiko am Beispiel von Bergner und ihren möglichen Berührungspunkten mit Neuraths bildpädagogischen Methode und untersucht, wie sich die Isotype von propagandistischen visuellen Kommunikationsformen abgrenzt. → more

The Poetry of Design — A search for multidimensional languages between Brazilian and German modernists
Ilana Tschiptschin
In the 1950s and 1960s, intense debates and exchanges took place between Brazilians and Germans working in the fields of design, art, and their various manifestations—from architecture and painting to music and poetry. These intertwined lines are identifiable in myriad events: journeys, meetings, exchanges of letters, exhibitions, lectures, courses, and publications. Common modes of production emerged out of these different encounters where, more than relations of influence, one can observe how entangled realities led to a questioning of the directionality of the flow between center and periphery. → more

Synthesis in Language of Vision — Bauhaus Sources in Gyorgy Kepes’s Dynamic Structure Order
Leigh Anne Roach
Many of the concepts and concerns Gyorgy Kepes presents in Language of Vision have their roots in the Bauhaus. Both Bauhaus artists and Kepes shared notions of a language of art elements, universal laws, structure, and order, linking these to their utopic hope that art would have a positive effect on mankind. However, a great physical and cultural distance separated the German Bauhaus of the 1920s and 1930s from the post-World War II New Bauhaus in America, where Kepes taught and wrote. → more

On the Reconstruction of Kurt Schwerdtfeger’s “Reflektorische Farblichtspiele” (Reflective Colored Light Plays) from 1922
Elle Burchill, Andrea Monti, Paula Schwerdtfeger
Kurt Schwerdtfeger conceived of Reflektorische Farblichtspielhough the work has been discussed over the years in the context of abstract film, light sculpture, visual music, and expanded cinema, it is first and foremost a work of live performance. Decades before moving image performance would make its appearance in galleries and museums as an art form—a denotation the artistic practice still struggles to attain today—Schwerdtfeger recognized it as such, perhaps due to his immersion in the all-encompassing interdisciplinary approach of the Bauhaus. → more

A Cold War Bauhaus
John R. Blakinger
What happened to the idea of the Bauhaus in the decades after the Bauhaus? This essay examines a key figure at the center of the global spread of the Bauhaus idea after the Second World War: the Hungarian-American artist, designer and visual theorist Gyorgy Kepes. Through his unusual experiments with science and technology, Kepes promoted ideas about interdisciplinarity and collaboration that first originated with Bauhaus modernism in the interwar period. But the conflicts and confrontations that defined Kepes’s career in the United States demonstrate how the Bauhaus became a fraught ideological battlefield during the politically contested years of the early Cold War. → more

bauhaus imaginista — and the importance of transculturality
Toni Maraini
What bauhaus imaginista has documented thus relates to a particular historical phase, one that opened a path to the renewal of the art situation in Morocco. And yet, although more recent generations of Moroccan art historians and critics often mentioned the period as a formative and unavoidable reference point, they never really deepened study of that period. It somehow remained in the shadows of other phases and realities. But cultural memory has its rhythms, and the moment arose when the years of the Casablanca Group called for attention, demanding its artistic accomplishments be better understood. In this regard, the bauhaus imaginista project came at the right moment and has had important repercussions. → more

Dry Time — Anni Albers Weaving the Threads of the Past
Maria Stavrinaki
When the Bauhaus was formed it was meant to be the reversed image of contemporary history and society. If the outside world was a field where opposing forces, in the form of class and national struggles, raged, the Bauhaus aimed to extricate itself from these conflicts in order to establish an alternative primordial community. In this essay, Maria Stavrinaki comments on what seems to be Anni Albers’s problematic relationship to the past in general and to history in particular. Anni Albers is not a unique case though, but rather a case study, which despite its particularities, can be considered as analogical to the Bauhaus in general. → more

She rethinks the importance of the migratory life of the Swiss architect Hannes Meyer and Bauhaus weaver Lena Bergner, starting with Meyer’s two-year directorship of the Bauhaus Dessau, the couple’s time working in the USSR (1931–1936), and, finally, their decade-long period as exiles in Mexico, which lasted from 1939 to 1949, the year they returned to Switzerland. → more

Josef Albers and the Pre-Columbian Artisan
Joaquín Barriendos
In his inaugural manifesto for the Staatliche Bauhaus, Walter Gropius proposed a new artistic agenda and pedagogical practice based on craft and artisanal principles. This article analyzes how prominent Bauhaus teacher and artist Josef Albers, entered into dialogue with a very specific kind of artisanal aesthetic: the pre-Columbian crafts he encountered on his many trips to Mexico. Revisiting his lecture “Truthfulness in Art” delivered in 1937, after his third trip to the country, the article studies the way in which Albers learned from the abstract tradition of pre-Columbian artisans, incorporating their knowledge into his own artistic and pedagogical practice. → more

Penguin’s-Eye View — Lázló Moholy-Nagy meets Berthold Lubetkin at the London Zoo

One day in September 1936, Ernestine Fantl, a curator at New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and Lázló Moholy-Nagy stood looking at the new Penguin Pond in London Zoo. Fantl was on a research trip for an upcoming exhibition, Modern Architecture in England, that would heavily feature the striking structures Soviet émigré architect Berthold Lubetkin’s firm Tecton had built at the London and Whipsnade Zoos, among them the Penguin Pond. Realizing “that no still photograph could do justice to the pool or its denizens,” on the spot Fantl commissioned Moholy to produce a film about Tecton’s animal enclosures. → more

Connecting the Dots — Sharing the Space between Indigenous and Modernist Visual Spatial Languages
Nan O’Sullivan
Ever increasing numbers of design institutes note the merits of cultural diversity within their pedagogy and practice. Rather quixotically, however, Eurocentric modernist ideals remain dominant within design curricula. This ambiguity results in non-Western social, cultural and creative practice, remaining side-lined, albeit while still being lauded as of great value. Critical of this duplicity, this paper introduces three Indigenous visual spatial languages, identifying a number of correlations and contradictions these offer to the establishment and implementation of Bauhaus pedagogy and subsequent examples of modernism adopted beyond Europe. → more

The Legacy of Arieh Sharon’s Postcolonial Modernist Architecture at the Obafemi Awolowo University Campus in Ile-Ife Nigeria

The significance of Arieh Sharon’s postcolonial modernist architecture at Obafemi Awolowo University Campus at Ile-Ife is multi-dimensional. Built between 1960 and 1978, at first glance the campus core consists of an ensemble of modernist buildings. In this article Bayo Amole examines some of the physical and conceptual characteristics of the campus master plan and core area design in order to illustrate their significance as examples of postcolonial modernist architecture—identifying the most important aspects of their legacy, which has continued to guide the design of the campus as it has developed over the course of more than a half century. → more

The Bauhaus, the Nazis and German Post War Nation Building Processes
Iris Dressler
On 4 May 1968 the exhibition 50 Years of the Bauhaus was opened at the Württembergischer Kunstverein in Stuttgart. Designed by Herbert Bayer and conceived amongst others by Hans Maria Wingler and Ludwig Grote, the exhibition was shown in eight museums worldwide until 1971. To this day, it is considered one of the most influential post-war exhibitions on the Bauhaus and was of great significance in the course of the nation building process for the still-young Federal Republic. Fifty years later the Württembergischer Kunstverein undertook a critical rereading of the historical exhibition, which created a long-term image and brand of Bauhaus that has been and still needs to be called in question: not least in such a year of jubilation. → more

Case Studies of Modernist Refugees and Emigres to Australia, 1930–1950 — Light, color and educational studies under the shadow of fascism and war
Andrew McNamara, Ann Stephen, Isabel Wünsche
A significant number of central European and German refugees and émigrés sought refuge from war and fascism in Australia during the inter-war and post-World War Two years. These refugees and émigrés introduced an approach to modernism that was crossdisciplinary and derived its inspiration from a systematic approach to arts education. In this paper the authors offer case studies in order to highlight some of their commonalities, such as a commitment to reform education, a systemic interdisciplinary approach to modernist art education and, finally, color-light explorations in art, design and architecture that arise as a consequence of these educational philosophies → more

Johannes Itten’s Interest in Japanese Ink Painting — Shounan Mizukoshi and Yumeji Takehisa’s Japanese ink painting classes at the Itten-Schule

He had a series of fruitful encounters with Japanese artists while leading his Itten-Schule art institute in Berlin (1926–34). In this article Yoshimasa Kaneko presents his research of these exchanges: In 1931 Nanga painter Shounan Mizukoshi taught Japanese ink painting in Nanga style at the Itten-Schule; in 1932 Jiyu Gakuen students Mitsuko Yamamuro and Kazuko Imai (Married name: Sasagawa) studied there; and finally, in 1933 the painter and poet Yumeji Takehisa also taught Japanese ink painting (including Nanga style) at Itten’s invitation. → more

To train not only for, but also against something! — A plea to think politically about the interdisciplinary art academy
Andi Schoon
Art colleges where the fine, applied and performing arts are taught under one roof often refer to the historical Bauhaus. Although the institution possessed no separate workshop for music, the experiments on the Bauhaus stage are regarded as prototypical for the further development of interdisciplinary art approaches later in the twentieth century. This text deals with the interdisciplinary art academy on the slide of a deregulated present. It reviews a number of developments to which we have already become accustomed. It is precisely for this reason that we should recall the opportunities offered by interdisciplinary education in both an artistic and political sense. → more

The Design of Information Overload — A Cold War Story

In 1959 Charles and Ray Eames presented their multi-screen film Glimpses of the USA inside Buckminster Fuller’s golden dome at the American Exhibition in Moscow. This propaganda project on behalf of the United States Information Agency was part of a series of experiments into information overload as a new form of communication and persuasion. What was radical in 1959 has become every day. We are surrounded everywhere, all the time, by arrays of multiple, simultaneous images. The idea of a single image commanding our attention has faded away. It seems as if we need to be distracted in order to concentrate. → more

Deren Umgang mit technischen Medien war weniger von Kollektivitätsgedanken als von individualistischen Selbsterfahrungen und psychotropisch angeregten Selbstentgrenzungen geprägt. → more

Diese Buchreihen lassen erkennen, unter welchen Bedingungen nichteuropäische Kunst in den 1920er-Jahren rezipiert wurde: als Inspirationsmaterial, als Ausdruck der Kanonkritik an einer europäischen Hochkunst und als Plädoyer für die Aufhebung zwischen Kunst und Kunsthandwerk, aber vor allem auch welches Verständnis von „Welt“ hier reproduziert wurde. → more

Writer and critic Mário Pedrosa described the “experimental” character of these classes, but the fact this experimentation was structured through study of color, materials, technique and composition has encouraged art historian Adele Nelson to claim Serpa’s teaching method was substantially based on the Bauhaus preliminary course. → more

The Extension Buildings of the ADGB Trade Union School in Bernau — Documents of the Formalism Debate in the GDR

The former ADGB Trade Union School is regarded today as an icon of modern architecture. Designed at the Bauhaus under the direction of Hannes Meyer and Hans Wittwer together with the students of architecture, the building ensemble still stands as a paragon of collective work, reform pedagogical ideas and analytic architecture. Less attention has been paid to the extensions to the school, planned 1949–51 by Georg Waterstradt. These buildings stand as a valuable testimony to the vigor of GDR architecture. The “formalism debate” led to a rejection of Bauhaus architecture, and thus, the set of political-architectural principles exemplified by the Trade Union School. → more

Biology and Educational Models in the Pacific Southern Cone

The Chilean encounter with second-order cybernetics in the early 1970s was an essential part of the modernization project the state had been promoting since the 1920s, a project which also encompasses the 1945 reform of the architecture school. But if one reviews the history of this project with greater care, one can identify the reform of the new art school of 1928, which was the product of a social movement that began after the First World War, and that was able to implement in the main school of art of the country, a “first year of trial” similar to the methodology of the Bauhaus preliminary course, influenced by the trends of the “Active” or “New” school of the time. → more

In the Footsteps of the Bauhaus — Its Reception and Impact on Brazilian Modernity
Joanna Bialobrzeska
Through the strong German-speaking minority and its active work in the creation and mediation of culture in the spirit of modernity, the application of Bauhaus formal language, especially in the first phase of Brazilian modernity, has played a considerable role. It was only with the equation of German culture with National Socialism and the ensuing intolerance of German protagonists that these architectural and cultural activities were severely disrupted. In Brazil during this period, a style of modernism based on the principles of Le Corbusier finally gained acceptance. The impulses of the Bauhaus, however, which were not perceived for many years, were also reinterpreted and further developed within Brazil, although they remained occulted in comparison to the public reception of Corbusier. → more

Three Preliminary Courses: Itten, Moholy-Nagy, Albers

It was the special qualities of the Swiss artist Johannes Itten, whose career as a primary and secondary school teacher was characterized by adherence to the principles of reform pedagogy, to have introduced a stabilizing structural element into the still unstable early years of the Bauhaus: the preliminary course which—in addition to the dual concept of teaching artistic and manual skills and thinking—was to remain a core part of Bauhaus pedagogy, despite considerable historical changes and some critical objections, until the closure of the school in 1933. → more

Times of Rudeness — Design at an Impasse
Lina Bo Bardi, Sol Camacho
In 1980, Lina Bo Bardi began working on a book concerning her time in the northeastern part of Brazil. With the help of Isa Grinspum Ferraz, she captioned the illustrations, revised her contributions to the book and drafted the layout and contents. The latter also included texts by her collaborators who, in a truly collective effort, had tried to envision the project of a true Brazil—an unfettered and free country with no remnant remaining of the colonial inferiority complex which had plagued the country earlier in its history. Bo Bardi discontinued her work in 1981. In 1994, the Instituto Lina Bo e P.M. Bardi published this project as Times of Rudeness: Design at an Impasse. → more

By 1918/19 at the latest (still before his move to the Bauhaus), Itten had also learned about Mazdaznan’s racial model.

It is the revised, expanded, and redesigned translation of editor Hans Wingler’s 1962 German tome Das Bauhaus, 1919–1933: Weimar, Dessau, Berlin.

The particular view of the Bauhaus presented at MoMA in 1938 corresponds to the place of Meyer in the historiography of modern architecture in the 1930s, ‘40s, and ‘50s. The view that Meyer’s work allegedly lacked aesthetic interest, rendering it irrelevant to an Anglophone audience. → more

Each migrated to Latin America shortly before the outbreak of World War Two, and returned to Europe in the late 1940s.

The National Institute of Design (NID) came into existence at the intersection of postcolonial aspirations to design a new nation and the new citizen and Cold War cultural diplomacy. It was located in Ahmedabad, a medieval western Indian city on the banks of the river Sabarmati, famous for its textile mills and as the place where Gandhi began his anti-British campaigns. Initially it was housed, perhaps quite appropriately, in a museum building designed by Le Corbusier where discussions began on the appropriate educational philosophy and pedagogy: Who would produce new lotas for the new nation? Who would teach them and how? → more

The expropriation of oil fields, mining and large estates in 1938, the refuge granted Spanish republicans and members of the International Brigades in 1939, and the accord of mutual support between the government and syndicalist organizations all favored the formation of artistic and cultural groups willing to take part in the consolidation of revolutionary ideals which, until that point, had made little progress.

Out of that came my new way of working, of dividing and separating the piece.” Lenore Tawney’s “Woven Forms” are not purpose-built in a (Western) crafts sense; they move beyond traditional European rules of weaving and attempt to approach an indigenous attitude towards craft and technique.

Chabâa’s Concept of the “3 As”

“Architecture is one expression of the fine arts” (Mohamed Chabâa, in: Alam Attarbia, No. 1, p. 36, 2001.)
Mohamed Chabâa’s consciousness of his national heritage and his interest in architecture both emerged at a young age. His concept of the “3 A’s”—art, architecture and the arts and crafts—grew out of his discovery both of the Italian Renaissance and the Bauhaus School during a period of study in Rome in the early 1960s. From then on, bringing together the “3 A’s” would become a central interest, a concept Chabâa would apply in various ways and fiercely defend throughout his long and varied career. → more

Les Intégrations: Faraoui and Mazières. 1966–1982 — From the Time of Art to the Time of Life
Maud Houssais
Les Intégrations exemplified a specific conceptual motif, one that acted not within a single field but rather implied a relationship of interdependence between different media (visual arts and architecture) and techniques (those of graphic arts and architecture). They thus allowed for the emergence of disciplines that were not static in formation but evolving in relation to one another. The intermedial relationship they created between art and architecture raises the question of what lies “between” these disciplines: how do they communicate with each other? What are the elements of language common to this “spirit of the times,” to the particular atmosphere of the late 1960s? → more

Naked Functionalism and the Anti-Aesthetic — The Activities of Renshichirō Kawakita in the 1930s
Hiromitsu Umemiya
Kawakita called the educational activities that developed around the central axis of the School of New Architecture and Design “kōsei education.” The term “compositional/structural education” is often taken nowadays to refer to a preparatory course in composition derived from the Bauhaus—plastic arts training in which plastic elements such as color, form and materials are treated abstractly. → more

Bauhaus Weimar International — Visions and Projects 1919–1925
Michael Siebenbrodt
Although the Bauhaus opened its door in 1919, it took more than three years for Gropius to fully organize the school’s faculty, since with the departure of several of the old art school’s professors, such as Max Thedy, Richard Engelmann and Walther Klemm, open positions had to be regularly filled. But Gropius’s first appointments indicated the course set toward an international avant-garde school, a school of invention. → more

A Mystic Milieu — Johannes Itten and Mazdaznan at Bauhaus Weimar
Pádraic E. Moore
Mazdaznan had a significant although often misunderstood impact on the life and work of Johannes Itten, a key figure in the development of the Weimar Bauhaus. A devout practitioner of Mazdaznan, he was responsible for introducing it to students of the Bauhaus in the early 1920s. This essay explores the intimate relationship between Itten, Mazdaznan and the Bauhaus and, in so doing, also underscores how in its infancy the Bauhaus was very different from its later incarnation as a school associated primarily with technical innovation. → more

After the Ball — Hannes Meyer Presenting the Bauhaus in Moscow

Hannes Meyer arrived in the USSR just a couple of months after being dismissed from his position as Bauhaus director in October 1930. These months were filled with attempts by Meyer and his supporters to protest this decision through all possible means: media campaigns, open letters, student demonstration and court trials. After arriving in Moscow, Meyer carried on the fight against his unfair dismissal. → more

Meyer’s Russia, or the Land that Never Was
Adrian Rifkin
It is quite hard to know where to start with Hannes Meyer in Moscow. It’s hard because, while there is plenty of documentation on him and his team in the Bauhaus Brigade—as well as other Western designers and architects (of these, Ernst May is at least as significant as Meyer, as is the Dutch designer Mart Stam, and each went on to produce more substantial work than Meyer after their respective Russian episodes)—the legacy of his work there presents certain difficulties in evaluating. → more

Open Your Eyes — Breathing New Life Into Bauhaus Papercuts
Eric Gjerde
My artistic practice working primarily with abstract folded paper objects led me to Josef Albers and his similar obsession with paper as an instructional medium. Initially looking for pleated paper forms and to learn more about the history of these techniques, I have since been swept up in the maelstrom of Albers' pedagogical mindset. It’s difficult to look at one area of his thinking and not get pulled into many other directions, finding yourself challenged at every turn. → more

Don’t Breathe Normal: Read Souffles! — On Decolonizing Culture
Marion von Osten
The need for a synthesis of the arts and, with this, a change of pedagogical principles, was not only present at the beginning of the twentieth century (forces that prompted the Bauhaus’s foundation), but after WWII as well, during the “Short Century” of decolonization. This second modern movement and its relation to modernism and the vernacular, the hand made, and the everyday was vividly expressed through texts and art works published in the Moroccan quarterly magazine Souffles, published beginning in the mid-1960s by a group of writers and artists in Rabat, Casablanca and Paris. → more

Andean Weaving and the Appropriation of the Ancient Past in Modern Fiber Art

Red Sox beat Guardians to snap 5-game skid
BOSTON (AP) Cleveland pitcher Zach Plesac threw the ball completely out of Fenway Park as the grounds crew began to bring out the tarp, and the Boston Red Sox ended a five-game losing streak by beating the Guardians 3-1 Monday night. Alex Verdugo hit a tiebreaking double and Boston s bullpen worked 3 1/3 scoreless innings. The Red Sox are just 6-15 in July and remain only a half-game ahead of last-place Baltimore in the AL East. Jos Ram rez drove in Cleveland s run with an infield hit. It was the third straight loss for the Guardians. Yolmer S nchez hit an RBI single in the third to put Boston ahead 1-0. Home plate umpire and crew chief Dan Iassogna then called for the grounds crew to roll out the tarp and Plesac, who was walking toward the third-base dugout, fired the ball over the third-base roof and out of the ballpark. The game was delayed 38 minutes by rain. Wearing their city connect yellow-and-powder blue uniforms, the Red Sox broke a 1-1 tie with two runs in the sixth, chasing Plesac (2-8). Verdugo doubled off the Green Monster and Rob Refsnyder raced home when the ball bounced over left fielder Steven Kwan back toward the infield as he fell to the ground trying to play the carom. Christian V zquez added a bloop RBI single off reliever Trevor Stephan. John Schreiber (3-1) got Myles Straw to ground out with two runners on to end the sixth before pitching the seventh. Garrett Whitlock got six outs for his second save. Making his first start since July 15 because of the All-Star break, Plesac was charged with three runs in five-plus innings, allowing only three hits. Boston starter Nick Pivetta gave up seven singles and one run over 5 2/3 innings. CELEBRATING PAPI The Red Sox will honor David Ortiz with a ceremony before Tuesday s game, two days after his enshrinement in the Hall of Fame. Guardians manager Terry Francona, who managed the Red Sox from 2004-11, shared his thoughts on what made Ortiz special. You know what, the biggest thing from my side of it, I knew David before he was Big Papi. I don t think I ever referred to him as Big Papi. It was always David, he said. You guys have been around him and you ve seen when somebody comes into a room, he can light that room up with that smile, his personality. Some guys come to Boston and kind of shrink, he kind of brought his personality out. WHAT HEAT? Despite hot, muggy conditions with a real feel of 93 degrees, Guardians 1B Josh Naylor took grounders and BP wearing a winter hat with long sleeve sweatshirt. When asked about it, he said: I can t wear a hat without washing my hair first. I m serious. He has flowing locks that come out under his baseball cap. HEADS UP Naylor had the bat go flying out of his hands toward netting behind Boston s on-deck circle, forcing a bat boy to go scampering away. TRAINER S ROOM Guardians: OF Oscar Gonzalez (10-day injured list, right intercostal strain) is slated to start a rehab assignment with Double-A Akron on Tuesday. Red Sox: DH J.D. Martinez missed his fourth straight game with back spasms. RHP Michael Wacha (IL, right shoulder inflammation) faced hitters. He said after that he s scheduled to do it again Saturday before going on a rehab assignment. Trevor Story (IL, bruised right hand) took BP before the game. UP NEXT Guardians: They re likely to use an opener Tuesday. Francona said it ll likely be RHP Bryan Shaw (4-2, 5.29 ERA). Red Sox: Josh Winckowski (3-4, 4.38) is slated to start if he comes off the COVID IL. ___ More AP MLB: and Copyright © 2022 Score Media Ventures Inc. All rights reserved.

Researchers Develop Quantum Repeaters with All-Photonic Protocol for Quantum Network - Inside Quantum Technology

Researchers Develop Quantum Repeaters with All-Photonic Protocol for Quantum Network
IQT News
4 years ago
(PhysicsWorld) A worldwide “quantum internet” could be one step closer thanks to researchers in Japan and Canada who have made the first ever quantum repeaters that work using an all-photonic protocol. Takashi Yamamoto of Osaka University and his colleagues are reporting on the first experimental demonstration for a key component of the all-photonic quantum repeater – the time-reversed adaptive Bell measurement. Their scheme is based on optical devices alone and does not require any quantum memories or quantum error correction.
Yamamoto explained, “In our experiment, we prepared entangled single photons in a repeater node and confirmed that the device only teleports lossless quantum information without being disturbed by surrounding lost quantum information. This is not only the first proof-of-principle demonstration of the adaptive Bell measurement but also a key principle of all-photonic quantum repeaters.”
The researchers say they now plan to develop large-scale graph-state photon generators and ultra-low loss photonic circuits that allow for the time-reversed adaptive Bell measurement on a large number of photons. “These circuits will enable us to scale up an all-optical quantum network,” says Yamamoto.

I have been blessed with the two best sisters anyone could wish for, we have always been incredibly close and supportive of each other. My nearest sister (in both age and geography) has always been very enthusiastic about this blog, and has often mentioned how she loves when I personalise the posts, mentioning different family events and occasions. She told me that when the blog started that I sounded like quite the alcholic!! (not bad for someone who has about two drinks a week!)
It is with the heaviest possible heart that I speak about her recent death in this post - she was such a huge part of my life that this tragic event cannot go unmentioned. She was always the most generous of people and even at this time she has given me the most precious of gifts - to be allowed to share in the care and nurturing of her three wonderful young children - they were the center of her world, and I just hope I can do half as good a job as she would have.

Dear Brownieville Girl. I have been absent, so I hope you will forgive my belated comment.
I am so sorry for your loss. I haven't any siblings, so cannot truly envisage the pain and sorrow you must be experiencing right now.
I imagine there are little quirks of your sister in yourself, in your other sister, and of course in her three precious children. She will always be in your hearts of course, but yes, in little moments of everyday, you will 'see' her in yourselves. May the coming months be a time that brings your whole family even closer together and stronger still.
Sending (((HUGS))) with my condolences.
Love
Coby

Thank you all so much - your kind words really do help (especially when sleep eludes me!)
Her eldest son paid me a huge compliment today - he told me that I was just like his Mum (not that he intended it as a compliment, I was telling him to ease up on the sweets at the time!!!)

LED Lighting Retrofit Kits and the Best Solutions:
The experts at Florida Lighting Maintenance conduct each retrofit with the skill, equipment and products you’d expect from the central Florida area’s finest commercial lighting business. The process of doing an LED light retrofit is essentially removing your older lighting system with high-tech LED bulbs utilizing individual power supplies. A semiconductor device on the LED allows the light to operate between 5 and 24 volts. The power supply converts the normal high voltage (85 volt to 266 volt) electrical charge, to something which is significantly lower. This allows you to use LEDs just about anywhere without major wiring changes. Old type ballast used for fluorescent and other high pressure lamps have to raise the voltage to get the lights to work.
Florida Lighting Maintenance more-and more notes that energy conscious businesses are tremendously excited about retrofitting to LED technology. They like getting energy savings, virtually eliminating the need for replacement bulbs, significantly longer life spans and the reduction of hazardous gases found in florescent bulbs (such as mercury) creating an environmental hazard.
By retrofitting to efficient LED lights you will produce energy cost savings every month, immediately. The positive payback time is the quickest in the alternative energy industry. LED lighting products are BRIGHT! They have a very high lumen output, which produces an extremely well lit and comfortable building. Your employees and customers can expect a space that is 20-30% brighter than pre-retrofit.

The sole question this appeal presents is whether the district court abused its discretion in revoking the defendant-appellant's probation. The record reveals that, while on probation, the defendant was convicted of a federal criminal offense. The defendant was convicted of possessing with intent to distribute one-hundred-four (104) pounds of marihuana in violation of Title 21 U.S.C. Sec. 841(a)(1) (1970). As a result of this conviction, his probation was revoked on April 19, 1973, and he was sentenced to three years imprisonment, this sentence to run concurrently with that assessed upon the criminal conviction. The defendant had been placed on probation in 1969, as a result of his conviction upon a plea of guilty to a violation of the Marihuana Tax Act, Title 26 U.S.C. Sec. 4744(a)(2) (1964). Although his conviction, which he has appealed separately, is not in issue here, the appellant contends in his brief that an element of the offense alleged was not proved beyond a reasonable doubt at trial and that the revocation of his probation was, therefore, erroneous.
2
The contention of the appellant is without merit. Probation revocation is a matter entrusted to the sound discretion of the district court, and only upon a clear showing of abuse of that discretion will the district court's decision be disturbed. Burns v. United States, 1932, 287 U.S. 216, 221, 53 S.Ct. 154, 156, 77 L.Ed. 266, 269; United States v. Clanton, 5 Cir. 1969, 419 F.2d 1304, 1305-1306. No such abuse has been demonstrated here. A revocation of probation does not require proof sufficient to sustain a criminal conviction. All that is required is enough evidence, within a sound judicial discretion, to satisfy the district judge that the conduct of the probationer has not met the conditions of the probation. Clanton, supra, 419 F.2d at 1305; Manning v. United States, 5 Cir. 1947, 161 F.2d 827, 829. Notwithstanding his attack upon it, the defendant's criminal conviction clearly provided an adequate evidentiary basis for the district court's revocation order. United States v. Carrion, 9 Cir. 1972, 457 F.2d 808, 809. If he wishes to attack the proceedings at his trial, it is the conviction itself, rather than the probation revocation that he must challenge.

The order appealed from revoking defendant-appellant's probation is

Affirmed.

Can a developer of an open-source library available to the general public choose to put their own documentation on Stack Overflow Documentation, provided it is formatted appropriately and not copied without attribution? If so, what guidelines should they follow?
Does it matter if the library is popular and widely used? If so, how much?
Should it have its own topic, or be part of another topic with a specific tag?
Dere may be other appropriate questions as well that I just haven't thought of. What are the rules on this, or are there any? Also, are they likely to change?

You have to propose the tag first. Could well be an obstacle right now if this is your own library, tends to be hard to find 4 other people that have SO answers in the tag. Why anybody would want to have to maintain multiple sources of documentation when they update their library is a mystery to me.

@HansPassant I don't know that they would. As I said in response to Nicol Bolas's answer below, there's hardly any use repeating or copying existing documentation here. You'd have to post separate, working examples in an acceptable format. As for updating it with versioning changes, well... that's a general Docs.SO problem.

Does it matter if the library is popular and widely used? If so, how much?
This matters in a roundabout way. The topic/tag for the library must exist and be committed to by 5 users. This requires having enough of a tag presence on SO main to have enough users who qualify even to create the SO Docs tag. So your library must have a corresponding tag with appreciable traffic on SO main for it to be relevant to SO Docs.
Should it have its own topic, or be part of another topic with a specific tag?
It should have its own tag. Then within that tag it can have any number of useful topics/examples.
Does it matter if the documentation is duplicated elsewhere, or if similar documentation exists elsewhere? (Perhaps the same examples with different text.)
Make s“Bad” fragmentation is where you now have to check more places to get the same assistance as before. If, say, Oracle were to cut the Java documentation in half and put one half on a different domain in a different style and format that would be bad fragmentation. Similarly, if Documentation just made it so you now had to check MSDN and Stack Overflow for the same quality information you used to get just from MSDN that would be bad fragmentation.
Make sure that whatever you do decide to post on SO Docs is enough to be a one-stop-shop for the most common cases of your library. Certainly there can be some overlap between SO Docs and (for example) a tutorial project provided in the API documentation. But SO Docs must be able to stand on its own in a helpful way without relying on link hopping to another site.

provided it is formatted appropriately
You seem to say this as though it were some kind of trivial matter. As though you could just use a "convert to Markdown" tool and then upload it.
That's not how this works.
Docs.SO is example-focused documentation. It's not "here's 100 lines about what the function does, now here's a 10-line example showing a trivial use of it." It's the exact opposite of that.
Docs.SO is not a reference manual. And most open source documentation is formatted and written as reference documentation.
Converting from one style to another is not a matter of using Markdown. You have to write a lot of code examples. You have to re-conceive your entire view of your documentation to make it work. It has to be completely rewritten, with a focus on code examples and not comprehensiveness.
Reference documentation is not something that Docs.SO does well. And projects still need that sort of stuff.
So regardless of attribution, simply copying-and-pasting to Docs.SO is highly unlikely to work out well.

I agree and I wouldn't want anyone to just copy and paste their docs. I only put that in the question so we could avoid this type of discussion. Obviously I wouldn't want a tool that just took whatever I put on ReadTheDocs and dumped it here with no changes -- that doesn't fit with Docs.SO. Same in reverse: doesn't fit with ReadTheDocs. I just want a canonical answer to what would happen if someone who understood and correctly used Docs.SO wanted to take the initiative and add examples for something they wrote.

@Two-BitAlchemist "what would happen if someone who understood and correctly used Docs.SO wanted to take the initiative and add examples for something they wrote" -- you were asking for documenting your library. From what we've seen so far, using SOD correctly and documenting your library correctly don't mix. You can exemplify the use of your library in many simple ways, and SOD is the right place, and indeed nobody cares who the author is. I mean, you don't even need any rep or tag score for contributing to Docs (do you?).

@AndrasDeak I feel like you and some others are answering this like it's a Stack Overflow question, rather than a Meta Staommunity rules and preferences around using the tool if you are the author of the package in question. In Q&A, the rules are slightly different; I want to clarify the same with regards to Docs. That is all.

I cannot see why not.
The problem is that the tag needs to exist on the Stack Overflow side, and each person that "commits" to write docs for that tag needs a certain number of rep within that tag.
As long as all of those things are complete -- I do not see any issue with it :-)

The tag itself also has to meet certain popularity restrictions at present (number of questions, not sure what else) and needs to have had a question asked in it within the last three days. I have a library that satisfied the former, but not the latter, and couldn't even suggest it as a topic as a result.

@NicolBolas - To be honest, as a moderator I just wanted to become familiar with how Documentation works so I'd know how to moderate it. I have a bunch of code examples for specific use cases that I thought would clutter up the main project documentation and are currently residing in sample applications. Seemed like a good case to try and see if Documentation works for this.

I don't even know what the complaint is there. "Every open source project's dumping ground" -- you could argue that's what StackOverflow is for questions. So what? If a whole bunch of open source projects decided to contribute Docs examples, how is that different from a bunch of random SO users doing the same? If you didn't want to see a project, then don't browse their tag.

Docs.SO isn't really a complete documentation tool. It's more akin to Recipes and Examples, which are very useful, but aren't sufficient for a well-documented project.
I would recommend reading this article on how to write good documentation. There are lots of tools and websites available for writing documentation. I particularly like sphinx and readthedocs.org, but there are many others.
Having examples and tutorials on Docs.SO will definitely help users of your project, but it's not a good substitute for good, complete documentation.

As I commented above, this is a question on Meta Stack Overflow, not Stack Overflow. I don't want to know about whether or not it's good practice to document on Docs.SO, and I didn't say anything about documenting exclusively on Docs.SO. Your answer doesn't even touch on community rules.

From late November to mid-January, the holidays bring good cheer and gatherings with friends and family. They are also a season when home accidents frequently occur. The following are some common holiday-related accidents, along with tips to help keep your family safe at home over the holiday season.
Decorating Fall Accidents
You may be surprised to learn how many people are injured while decorating their homes for the holidays. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that, over three winter holiday seasons, an estimated 17,465 people were treated in emergency rooms for fall injuries related to holiday decorating.
Approximate 43% of these falls were from ladders, many of which occurred while stringing or removing outdoor lights. People decorating for the holidays have also fallen from furniture, stairs, porches, and roofs, or have tripped and fallen on tree skirts, extension cords, or other holiday decorating gear.
To help prevent holiday decorating fall accidents:
Use a sturdy, dependable ladder on a level surface.
Make sure step ladders are fully opened and locked.
Move the ladder instead of overreaching.
Place the bottom of the ladder one foot from the wall for every four feet in height.
Have another person standing by to assist you while stringing lights and exterior ornaments.
Fires During the Holiday Season
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), there were 100 fires started by Christmas trees and 1200 fires started by candles in a recent two-year period in the U.S., to say nothing of common cooking-related fires. To help reduce the risk of fire over the holidays:
Make sure to follow all proper safety precautions if you choose to deep-fry your Thanksgiving turkey.
Check for freshness when buying a live Christmas tree. The tree should be green, and the bottom should be sticky with resin. When tapped on the ground, the tree should not lose many needles. The needles should be difficult to pull from the branches and should not break when you bend them between your fingers.
Place your Christmas tree away from heat sources.
Make sure the tree is supplied with water at all times.
Look for the “Fire Resistant” label when buying an artificial tree.
Keep candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface, well away from flammable items.
Keep all burning candles in sight. If you are leaving the room, extinguish candles first. Flameless LED candles are far safer. If you enjoy candle scent, you have alternatives to candles.
Use only lights that have been safety tested by a nationally-recognized lab.
Check each set of lights for frayed wires, loose connections, and cracked or broken sockets. Discard any damaged sets.
Slip and Fall Accidents
A white holiday season may be beautiful, but snow and ice on walkways can be treacherous. Depending on the circumstances and state laws, it could also leave you open to liability. Slip and fall accidents can cause serious injuries, including head trauma, fractured bones, strains, sprains, and dislocations. To help keep family and visitors safe on your property, shovel snow from walkways and use ice melt to reduce the risk of slip and falls.
Make sure you have the right home insurance to protect you from loss in case of a fire and from liability in the chance that another person could be injured on your property. Our friendly agent can help you get the best quote on a homeowners insurance policy to match your needs and budget.

#################### POLITICAL CORRUPTION, ASSASSINS AND “STIMULUS” CRONY INSIDER SCAMS
As crooked as the Silicon Valley oligarchs and the California Senators are, it is the David Plouffe and Steve Westly -type operatives and the filthy crooked tech law-firms like Mofo, Covington, Perkins, Latham, and those scum, who operate their covert crimes on a day-to-day basis. The FBI needs to raid each of them!
As know you, our task force has created a large number of public-interest crowd-sourced testimony websites to provide real-time information, about this case, to your agents. We have spoken to your office on multiple occasions as informants, whistle-blowers, witnesses and providers of testimony about this large criminal matter involving well known public figures..
Congress must be forced to eliminate both the appearance and the actual operation of financial conflicts of interest that we have identified going on every day. Americans must be confident that actions taken by public officials are intended to serve the public, and not those officials and their corrupt Silicon Valley big tech leash-holders. Their actions counter-act the law, The Constitution and general morality. A number of our associates are now dead, under mysterious circumstances (Seth Rich, Gary D. Conley, Forrest Hayes, Rajeev Motwani, and hundreds more…). It seems like some of them were killed to shut them up.
Gary D. Conley, the CEO of Solfocus, and other Cleantech companies in Silicon Valley, said that Eric Schmidt and Larry Page had threatened him with “death” for whistle-blowing about Google’s scheme to take-over green energy and put Obama in the White House so Obama could do what Google wanted. Some of Conley’s family have blogged that Conley was killed. Conley’s body was found behind Beale Air Force base in a grassy field. Beale Air Force base keeps nukes at the base so there is extensive video coverage of the whole area leading up to the death scene. Conley had a bullet in his head from an odd angle. All of the video from the roads leading up to the death scene are “missing”. Beale Air Force base security has been asked for the videos by reporters and family but excuses abound. Gary Conley had spoken to Larry Page associate Rajeev Motwani. Rajeev Motwani was found floating face down in his Silicon Valley swimming pool from an electronically induced heart attack. Just sayin’…
We experienced all of the damages from each of the abuse-of-power issues listed below. The FBI, FTC, SEC, FEC must become a taskforce that ends these crimes. These are the crimes we saw and suffered from and the solutions to those crimes:
We documented modern bribes being paid through stock market scams. We saw the perpetrators do it. Please help ban individual stock ownership by Members of Congress, Cabinet Secretaries, senior congressional staff, federal judges, White House staff and other senior agency officials while in office. Please prohibit all government officials from holding or trading stock where its value might be influenced by their agency, department, or actions. The perpetrators are TODAY committing crimes and corruption in this manner.
We found that, for example, The Department of Energy PR and Communications office is entirely comprised of political propaganda operatives who specialize in cover-ups, lies to protect crooked politicians, stone-walling, obfuscation, delays and deferrals and other political intrigues.
We witnessed violations of conflict of interest laws per the President, Senators and the Vice President through the Presidential Conflicts of Interest Act, which would should require the President and the Vice President to place conflicted assets, including businesses, into a blind trust to be sold off. The perpetrators are TODAY committing crimes and corruption in this manner.
We witnessed senior Department of Energy government officials, employees, contractors and White House staff fail to divest from privately-owned assets that could present conflicts, including large companies like Tesla, Google, Facebook, Sony, Netflix, etc., and commercial real estate. The perpetrators are TODAY committing crimes and corruption in this manner.
We, and the news media, witnessed a felony-style intent to not respond to a filing by a citizen within 48 hours. Former White House and Energy Department staff use ‘stone-walling’ to intentionally delay responses for a decade, or more. The perpetrators are TODAY committing crimes and corruption in this manner.
We witnessed the failure to apply ethics rules to all government employees, including unpaid White House staff and advisors. The perpetrators are TODAY committing crimes and corruption in this manner.
We witnessed the failure to require most executive branch employees to recuse themselves from all issues that might financially benefit themselves or a previous employer or client from thsed the failure of to create conflict-free investment opportunities for federal officials with new investment accounts managed by the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board and conflict-free mutuving Door between industry and government and saw tech companies buying influence in the government or profiting off of the public service of any official. The perpetrators are TODAY committing crimes and corruption in this manner.
We witnessed lobbying by Presidents, Vice Presidentson all other federal employees from lobbying their former office, department, House of Congress, or agency after they leave government service until the end of the Administration, but at least for 2 years ( and at least 6 years for corporate lobbyists). The perpetrators are TODAY committing crimes and corruption in this manner.
We saw the ability of companies to buy influence through former government officials. The perpetrators are TODAY committing crimes and corruption in this manner.
We saw the income disclosures from former senior officials 4 years after federal employment. The perpetrators are TODAY committing crimes and corruption in this manner.
In addition to the above issues, it is essential that FBI, DOJ, SEC and FTC work together, now, to enact and strengthen enforcement around the following issues that we experienced:

Some of that lack of action was bad oversight but watch of it was an intentional criminal cover-up in order to enrich racketeers within government and industry who colluded for unjust gains in these Dark Money crimes.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your efforts to bring the criminal politicians and tech oligarchs, who collude to engage in these crimes, to justice. We witnessed and suffered damages from an organized crime operation run by famous political figures and Silicon Valley tech oligarchs. We have not received any justice yet. How will you help us?
As we have been to your offices and/or met and/or spoken with Patricia Ritch, ls in the smoke from them destroy your brain, lungs and nervous system when they burn.
You won’t see anything about Tesla crashes and corruption in the main stream news because Tesla is financed by the owners of the mainstream news.
Elon Musk’s production of raw materials like lithium, cobalt and nickel, that are essential to his cars, are ruinous to land, water, wildlife and people, Ivan Penn and Eric Lipton report for The New York Times. Mining is one of the dirtiest businesses out there. The NYT did a deeper dive on the specifics one day earlier in a high-profile, front-page piece that mainly hit on Friday. “Electric cars and renewable energy may not be as green as they appear,” Penn and Lipton warned. IE: the project, known as Lithium Americas, has drawn protests from members of a Native American tribe, ranchers and environmental groups because it is expected to use billions of gallons of precious ground water, potentially contaminating some of it for 300 years, while leaving behind a giant mound of waste. “Blowioverlooked because Musk bribes 70% of Washington, DC. His environmental issues don’t end with mining. Manufacturing batteries is a highly toxic process and poisons most workers, but battery disposal is even more so. Each Tesla has thousands of batteries, which means we’re already dealing with this, but forcing vehicles to go electric m life cycles for vehicles as well, as the replacement costs of batteries might make disposal a better idea than refits.
These batteries kill the factory workers who make them; they cause Panasonic to be one of the most corrupt companies in the world; they poison the Earth when disposed of; they can’t be extinguished by firemen; they poison firemen when they burn; and they are based on criminally corrupt mining schemes like URANIUM ONE and Frank Guistra scams.
These batteries dozens of toxic chemicals in them; they come from an industry that spends billions on internet shills and trolls used to nay say all other forms of energy tery grow worse and increase the chances of explosion as they age – LITHIUM ION BATTERIES BECOME MORE AND MORE LIKELY TO EXPLODE AS TIME GOES ON AND AS THEY AGE. Terrorists have figured out how to make them overload and explode remotely; Lithium ion batteries their dangers hidden by CNN and MSM because pretty much only the DNC people profit from them and tblic. They, and their crony’s, spend over $1B a year to shill and troll hype about lithium ion batteries and cover-up the dangers. Lithium ion EVs are more prone to battery fires.
Experts say that their lithium-ion batteries can fuel hotter fires that release toxic fumes and are more difficult to put out. Lithium ion fires keep reigniting which explains why it takes so long and requires copious amounts of water or foam (it is an electric fire, after all) to smother the flames. Tesla employee Bernard Tse and his team warned Elon Musk about these dangers in 2008 and they got fired and/or warned to “say nothing” by Musk. Three top Tesla engineers died in a plane crash next to Tesla offices in San Carlos after two of them agreed to become whistle-blowers.
Elon Musk exists because he bribed DNC politicians and Senators Feinstein, Reid, Boxer, Harris, Clinton and Pelosi to give him free taxpayer cash and government resources from the Dept. of Energy and the Calif treasury. DOE has been covering-up organized crime activities at DOE in which DOE funds are being used as a slush-fund to pay off DNC campaign financiers and to pay for CIA/GPS Fusion-Class attacks on Silicon Valley business competitors of those DNC campaign financiers who DOE staff share stock market holdings with. Elon Musk is a criminal, a mobster, an asshole, a bald fake-hair wearing, plastic surgery-addicted, douchebag, woman-abusing, sex addicted, tax evader.
Musk exploits poor people and child slaves rivers have been killed; pedestrians and oncoming drivers have also been killed, and Musk covers it up. The DNC and the MSM refuse to allow any articles about Musk’s crimes to be printed because they benefit from Musk’s crimes. Musk has been professionally diagnosed as a ‘psychotic narcissist.’A ‘Silicon Valley Mafia; cartel of frat boy sociopath venture capitalists like Steve Jurvetson, Tim Draper, Eric Schmidt, et al; threaten those who do not support the cult of Tesla or their political candidates. In EVERY blog that you read that mentions ‘Musk’,panies, he stole them from other people. Musk’s “Starlink” satellites are domestic spy and political manipulation tools – never get your internet from one. Musk stole Tesla in a hostile ownership take-over from Marty the true inventor of the Tesla. The same kind of EMF radiation proven to cause cancer from cell phones exists in massive amounts in a Tesla. Musk can’t fix a car or build a rocket and has almost no mechanical skills. If you pull a report of every VIN# of every Tesla ever built and cross reference that with insurance, repair and lawsuit records yorig stocks and valuation bumps for Musk. Over 1000 witnesses can prove every one of those claims in any live televised Congressional hearing! Senators Dianne Feinstein, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris and their associates own the stock in Tesla Motors and/or it’s suppliers and mining companies. That is why they criminally help cover-up investigations of Tesla! All of this was reported, in writing, to James Comey, Patricia Rich and David Johnson at the FBI.
The DNC bosses own the stock in lithium, Solar and EV markets and use kickbacks from those markets (Especially via convoluted campaign finance laundering via Elon Musk) to finance the DNC. Tesla and Musk are protected by shareholders Harris, Pelosi, Feinstein, Brown and Newsom. Panasonic (indicted for bribery and Musk’s partner) spends billions of dollars annually cover-up lithium battery fires and battery defects.
MUSK AND TESLA:
The Musk empire has paid more bribes to politicians than almost any other modern entity. That is why no full investigation of the Musk scams has ever been completed. Google’s Eric Schmidt and Larry Page have a bromance relationship with Musk and use the global resources of Alphabet to hide any negative news about Musk assets.The 2008 Department of Energy Cleantech Crash proves that a federal agency was used as just one big slush-fund to pay-off political campaign financiers, operate insider-trading stocks and sabotage those financiers competitors using taxpayer-financed resources!
Musk bribes politicians to get his tens of billions of dollars of exclusive free government taxpayer funds?
He puts hit-jobs on competitors and reporters he doesn’t like using Fusion GPS, Black Cube, Gawker and other services.
His companies, engage in electronic stock market manipulation.
He partners with Goldman Sachs cronies to engage in money laundering his cash domestically and off-shore.
He took domestic taxpayer cash yet he hired huge numbers of off-shore workers.
He and his financial staff engage in “Cooking the books” to lie about his business standing.
He is financed by crazy billionaires and the arab financiers of 9-11 attacks.
He has engaged in a huge number of Safety Cover-ups.
His boyfriends at Google rig the searches to harm his competitors and pump stock market valuations using flash boy algorithms.
His rare earth mineral mines engage in vast child labor crimes.
Using his products announces is considered to be an announcement to the world that you are a tone deaf douche bag.
His Silicon Valley tech cartel colludes to operate monopolistic law anti-trust violations.
He helps coordinate a Palo Alto Sandhill Road VC blacklist collusion program.
All of his trophy wives and beard girlfriends always leave him.
He has a notorious sex addiction and was recorded with Jeffrey Epstein.
The “Sociopath” diagnosis is part of many mental problems he has, including massive narcissism.
Racism runs rampant throughout his family and his companies and his workers call him a “racist” in lawsuits.
He has openly used drugs in public and promoted drug use.
He and his corporate culture have been sued in federal court for practicing Misogyny.
His chip company has been caught torturing small animals in science experiments.
His other company is just a domestic spy company that abuses the public and wastes money on smoke-screen hype.
The U.N. says that Genocide, rape and torture are rampant around his foreign rare earth mines.
Toxic poisoning of his manufacturing workers from inhaled and skin contact chemical exposure is massive.
The powders and chemicals used in his main factories cause brain damage and cancer when they self-ignite or burn and even water can make them ignite.
His electronics suddenly crash the cars via programming failure and/or hacking including “sudden acceleration surges” and driving over cliffs. This safety defect has usually been cover-ed up.
His other electronics system failures “Autopilot” has caused more crashes than any car electronics in history and caused a number of consumers to be burned alive.
On you can read a massive number of abuse and fraud lawsuits against him.
All of the pretend “fans” on the internet blogs are actually Russian and Chinese click-farms he hires to hype him up. There are no Musk “fanboys” on the web, the postings are all hired hype-trolls.
Chamath Palihapitiya and other Silicon Valley insiders have now exposed the fact that Greylock, Kleiner, etc. are just a VC Ponzi Scheme in this whole mess. Musk used crooked Senators to get his funds. Those Senators and government agency bosses were financed by, friends with, sleeping with, dating the staff of, holding stock market assets in, promised a revolving door job or government service contracts from, partying with, personal friends with, photographed at private events with, making profits by consulting for, exchanging emails with, business associates of or directed by; one of those business adversaries, or the Senators and politicians that those business adversaries pay campaign finances to, or supply political search engine manipulation services to. Elon Musk is notorious for getting Department of Energy money by bribing public officials and placing his friends: Steven Chu, Matt Rogers, Steve Westly, Steve Spinner’s ‘special friend’, etc. on the staff of the Department of Energy and in the White House.
FBI records, financial tracking, emails, stock market relay records and other forensic data that proves that Musk is a high tech mobster.Lithium metals, and other rare earth mining materials, are monopolized by Elon Musk and his Silicon Valley Cartel, in rare-earth corrupt mining scams. Lithium’s widespread use in cars is hindered by a challenging obstacle: upon multiple charge-discharge cycles, fractal filaments called dendrites always grow through the electrolyte from the negative to the positive electrode and short-circuit the battery from the inside, thus guaranteeing that Tesla Cars will eventually all explode.
Musk and Panasonic have known this since 2007 (They are “dumping” the batteries via Tesla) and have paid U.S. Senators, who own stock in Tesla, to cover it up. The lithium fires and toxic vapors are a major safety concern because they have killed, poisoned and injured too many citizenslling his hair-brained schemes to your parents pension funds.
Tesla is known as “the official car of douche-bags”. The safety defect cover-ups on the Tesla are extreme. Musk’s racist narcissistic trophy-wife mom and his extremist father (who got his young sister pregnant) are thought to be the cause of Musk’s racism and sociopath behaviors. He is the #1 crony capitalist government mooch in America and has received billions of dollars of your tax money to help him buy his mansions, starlets and sex parties. His cars and rockets blow up, his tunnels are unsafe, his satellites spy on consumers and his brain chip company tortures small animals. He swiped all of his technology from someone else and has never come up with his own inventions.
######################## GOOGLE:
Google exists to spy, mass manipulate populations and run stock market scams for Google’s owners. From INSIDE Google, our team saw Google manipulate the entire internet to hype up Larry Page’s “boyfriend’: Elon Musk and Tesla, which Google execs owned a portion of, while sabotaging Tesla’s competitors. Google illicitly and illegally timed these manipulations with stock market pump-and-dump efforts to exploit insider trading. That is a felony violation of RICO, Antitrust and other laws. Every single thing that Google does is contrived to harm a competitor, a politician, an employee whistle-blower or some other business adversary. There are no “bugs”, “operator errors”, “server anomalies” or other media “accidents” at Google. Everything Google does is contrived, at a psychological warfare kind of level, to change a social perception.Google must show its software to FBI, SEC, FTC and our search engine optimisation experts to prove that they did not engage in these crimes. The fact is: We can prove they did the crimes and FBI experts can help us prove it!
Google is known as the “Nazi’s of the Internet”. In a case unfolding in Britain over whether Google wrongly demoted price comparison rival Foundem from its search results in favour of paid-for adverts, Google must now decide which it values more: the algorithms that rank its search results, or its stance that manually fiddling with those results to promote its own paid-for products over rivals’ sites doesn’t break competition laws. The integrity of Google’s ranking processes relies upon all webmasters or website owners having the same degree of access to information about Google’s ranking… This will no longer be the case if information of this kind is made available to some individuals offering commercial services to assist companies to improve their Search ranking. Google is a criminal operation. It’s executives have been publicly exposed as participants in horrific sex scandals, money laundering, political bribery and racism. It is time for the bought and paid shill politicians to stop protecting them! – Google spies on competitors and steals their technology – Google runs tens of millions of dollars of defamation attacks against competitors – Google hides all media and news coverage for competitors of Larry Page’s boyfriend: Elon Musk – Google lies to the public about what they really do with the public’s data – Google promotes illegal immigration in order to get cheap labor and control votes – Google runs VC funding back-lists against start-ups that are competitive – Google bribes thousands of politicians.
Google is a criminal RICO-violating monopoly – Google rigs the stock market with Flash-boy, Pump/Dump and Microblast SEC violating computer tricks – Google pays bribes to politicians in Google and YouTube stock – Google manipulates who gets to see what web-sites, globally, for competitor black-lists – Google has a “no poaching” Silicon Valley jobs blacklist – Google bosses sexually abuse women and young boys – Google bosses run sex trafficking operations in the Epstein and NXVIUM cults – Google bosses control the NVCA financing cartel over start-ups – Google has placed the majority of the corporate staff in at least one White House – Google controls national elections for anti-competitive purposes – The company “Polyhop”, in the HOUSE OF CARDS tv show, does all the crimes that Google actually does in r jobs – Google is primarily responsible for destroying the Bay Area Housing opportunities – Google runs DDoS attacks on competitors by massively crawling their sites – Google boss Andy Rubin runs a sex slave farm according to his own family – Google boss Eric Schmidt was a philandering sex-penthouse owner according to vast news articles – Google executives hire so many hookers that one of them, Mr. Hayes, was killed by his hooker – Google executives sexually abuse so many women that the women staff of Google walked out one day – In the 2009 White House, you could not swing a cat without hitting a Google insider – Google has paid covert bribes, PAC funds, real estate and search rigging payola to every CA Senator – Google has paid bribes, through its lobby fronts, to halt FBI, SEC, FEC and FTC investigations of Google crimes – Google was funded by the CIA, via In-Q-Tel, a so called “501 c3 charity” which was caught with tons of cocaine.
Google gets millions of dollars of taxpayer cash for spying on Americans inside the USA – Google’s map service was a spy system paid for by taxpayers money that Google now profits off of – Nancy Pelosi and Dianne Feinstein have promised to “protect” Google because their families profit off Google stocks – Payment receipts prove that Google and Gawker/Gizmodo exchanged cash and staff for Character Assassination attacks – Google VC’s and bosses have spent $30M+ rigging the U.S. Patent Office to protect Google and harm Google competitors – Google bribed it’s lawyer into position as head of the U.S. Patent office in order to have her protect Google – To rig insider stock trades, Google hides negative Tesla stories and pumps positive Tesla stories on “push days” – Google and Elon Musk Co-own, co-invest and co-market stocks covertly while running anti-trust schemes – Google rarely likes, or hires, black employees per federal and news media investigations – Google hired most of the Washington, DC K Street lobby firms and told them to “do what ever they could” – The film: “Miss Sloane” depicts only 2% of the illicit lobbying tactics Google employs daily.
Demands for an FTC and FBI raid of Google, for criminal activity, securities law and election felonies have been filed – Google’s David Drummond had his Woodside, CA Quail Road house bugged revealing sex and financial misdeeds – Google, and it’s Cartel (Alphabet, Youtube, and hundreds of other shell-company facades) are a criminal organization engaged in felony-class crimes. Google’s bosses bribe politicians, regulators and law enforcement officials to hold off prosecution. At Google: Kent Walker, Andy Rubin, Larry Page, Eric Schmidt, Sergy Brin, Jared Cohen, Yasmin Green, David Drummond and Ian Fette are so enmeshed in sex scandals, election manipulation, and White House bribes that it is hard to comprehend how they can get any legitimate work done. Google executives came from most of the fraternity houses involved in the college rape scandals. Google sells covert character assassination services to politicians and fellow oligarchs. State are all the same entity. They conspire to hide news about their corruption and they control most of the internet.
######################### THE TECH CARTEL:
The Silicon Valley tech Cartel (AKA: “Paypal Mafia”, “Deep State”) is evil because these racist, ageist, sex-trafficking, money-laundering, elitist, politician bribing, tax evaders: steal any technology they desire; They manufactured the CLEANTECH CRASH as shown in the 60 MINUTES episode of the same name; they run a prostitution ring and sexually extort young women and interns in Silicon Valley; they are ‘rape culture’ take-what-they-want misogynists, ageists and racists as their history of abuses has proven; their Palo Alto Cartel operates AngelGate-type collusion and stock market insider trading schemes that harm independent business and the public; their Cartel ran the “no poaching” CEO ring which was class-action sued by DOJ and tech workers; 90% of their divorce court files reveal horrific abuses and sex trafficking.
They have an army of lobbyists that pay cash, stock market and revolving door bribes to U.S. Senators; They can even evade FBI & SEC investigations; They hire women to act as ‘trophy wives’ and ‘beards’; they have lobbyists rig the U.S. Patent Office in order to block inventor patent rights because they are using stolen technologies; they have been caught on video and recordings beating, kicking and harming women hundreds of times; They have bought up all of the Tier-One tech law firms and order them to black-list, and never help, those who seek equal tech rights; they collude to abuse your privacy and make databases on the public for political control; they have to cheat to compete because they are only good with spread sheets instead of innovation.
They run black-lists, character assassination attacks, collusion and other anti-trust violating acts in violation of RICO laws. Silicon Valley has become the largest assemblage of douche-bags and yuppie frat boy criminals in human history. Theranos is not the exception, it is the standard. Tesla, Google, Theranos, Wework, Facebook are lies backed by famous political insiders to protect their insider trading and covered-up by fake news operators. They are also fronts to fund political campaigns via the ill-gotten profits from their endeavors.When the bad guys, and their lap-dog politicians, attack you because your products are better than theirs they are proving that they are frat boy scumbags, from Stanford and Yale, that operate in a little pack, like dogs! Their Sandhill Road operation should be raided by the FBI! The best thing that could come from the COVID pandemic is that they all are forced into bankruptcy!
When your Senator holds stock market shares in companies that exist to profit on the backs of consumers, via corruption, then it is impossible for that Senator to ever do anything but be corrupt! We have reported this in writing to [email protected], [email protected] and 30+ other federal officers but have yet to see our whistle-blower rewards…or any action! Do you wonder how big politician insider stock trading is? Take a look at how many TRILLIONS of dollars pass through the stock markets annually and then look at the reported, AND UNREPORTED, securities holdings of famous U.S. Senators and government agency staff. That is what Seth Rich and the people in the “In Memory Of” section, below, were disclosing. These are massive crimes! The perpetrators operate a massive and abusive national sex cult. The perverts in the SandHill Road Venture Capital offices, located between Highway 280 down to to Santa Cruz Avenue on Sand Hill Road in Menlo Park, California, are the main perpetrators of this global cartel.
Their executives at Google, Facebook, Netflix, Linkedin, Twitter, and their related holdings, comprise the rest. The Harvey Weinstein and Ed Buck sex scandals are well known. These men’s sex cult actions have been widely covered in the news individually in the Joe Lonsdale rape case, The Kleiner Perkins Ellen Pao sex abuse lawsuit, The Eric Schmidt sex penthouse stories, The Jeffrey Epstein case, The Google Forrest Hayes hooker murder case, The Andy Rubin sex slave case, The Sergy Brin 3-way sex romp scandal, The British Hydrant investigation, The Elon Musk Steve Jurvetson billionaire sex parties scandals,The NXIVM sexual slave cases, The Michael Goguen anal sex slave trial, The Tom Perkins Hooker Parties and thousands of other cases and federal divorce court filings.
This group of people have proven themselves, over and over, to be sociopath control freaks not fit for participation in public commerce, public policy or media control. The Four Seasons Hotel and Rosewood Hotels in Silicon Valley are estimated to engage in over $30,000.00 of high-end escort sex trafficking per day, a portion of it managed by Eastern Bloc Mafia operators. The Elon Musk sex perversions are the tip of the iceberg. At least 10 Ukrainian escorts fly in and out of SFO and SJO airports every week for these Cartel members. Google boss David Drummond engaged in horrible philandering sexual violations of his wife yet Google covers up every story about it on the web.
Google’s Eric Schmidt is under massive investigation. You hear about the female victims of this sex cult but you rarely hear about the young male victims. One of their vast numbers of prostitutes is quoted as saying that the girls and boys are paid “not just for sex but for the oligarch’s endless need to feel that they can control anyone for any reason…”. Multiple attorney general’s controlled by their cartel, ie: Eric Schneiderman and Eliot Spitzer, are involved this these sex rings. These are the main influencers of a national political party and they are all involved in horrific sex perversions and abuses!
All Silicon Valley tech cartel media companies work together to censor all news and information in order to hide coverage of their dirty deeds and to only put politicians in office that will give the Cartel political payola, kick-backs and insider stock pumps. The Smedley Butler “Business Plot” from the past is not unlike the coup that Google and clan tried. See details in Emily Chang’s book: BROTOPIA; Roan Farrow’s book: CATCH & KILL; Edward Snowden’s Book: PERMANENT RECORD; Peter Schwetzer’s book: THROW THEM ALL OUT; Dave Eggers book: THE CIRCLE; Franklin Foer’s book: WORLD WITHOUT MIND; Corey Pein’s book: JOURNEY INTO THE SAVAGE HEART OF SILICON VALLEY; Dan Lyon’s book: DISRUPTED; Antonio Martinez book: CHAOS MONKEYS. The Angelgate, Epstein, No-Poaching DOJ Class Action, and hundreds of other cases, prove that they meet, conspire, collude and blacklist in felony violation of anti-trust and RICO Racketeering laws. – 90% of these guys came from 100% of the fraternity houses involved in the recent college rape cases.
############## THE WHITE HOUSE AND TECH OLIGARCH HIRE CHARACTER ASSASSINS
POLITICAL KILL ORDERS AND STATE-SPONSORED CHARACTER ASSASSINATIONS – How A Modern Character Assassination and Political “Kill Order” Is Executed By the Silicon Valley Oligarchs and their total control of propaganda media. Patrick George At Jalopnik attacks outsiders under contract with Elon Musk and the DNC. Silicon Valley campaign finance oligarchs hire him to run hatchet jobs on innocent outsiders and then Gawker-Gizmodo-Jalopnik uses their financial partnership with the DNC’s Google to push the character assassination articles to the top of Google web products and searches. Patrick George, Adrian Covert, John Hermann and Nick Cook are the sexually degenerate cabin boys that report to boy-loving sleaze-tabloid oligarch Nick Denton. They created the Fake News crisis in the media by flooding the internet with defamation posts and reprisal hatchet job articles designed to damage political enemies of the Socialists. They coordinate a large number of the character assassination efforts at Gawker, Gizmodo, Jalopnik, CNN, New York Times and other propaganda outlets. These Millennial boys are “Media Rapists” and should be treated as abusers. – How and why did a Donald Trump stripper-date named “Stormy” or an Elon Musk sex party or a Kavanaugh drinking incident or the Moonves and Weinstein indiscretions suddenly hit the news at about the same time in news history? – In addition to actual murder, Politicians and Silicon Valley Oligarchs hire operatives to end people’s lives in other creative ways. – It is all part of the modern trend in vendetta, revenge and political payback when a Senator or a tech oligarch issues a “kill order” on an opponent.
The client does not like to get their hands dirty so the actual social hit job is performed by companies such as: IN-Q-Tel – (DNC); Gawker Media – (DNC); Jalopnik – (DNC); Gizmodo Media – (DNC); K2 Intelligence – (DNC); WikiStrat – (DNC); Podesta Group – (DNC); Fusion GPS – (DNC/GOP); Google – (DNC); YouTube – (DNC); Alphabet – (DNC); Facebook – (DNC); Twitter – (DNC); Think Progress – (DNC); Media Matters – (DNC); Black Cube – (DNC); Mossad – (DNC); Correct The Record – (DNC); Sand Line – (DNC/GOP); Blackwater – (DNC/GOP); Undercover Global Ltd (DNC/GOP) Stratfor – (DNC/GOP); ShareBlue – (DNC); Wikileaks (DNC/GOP); Cambridge Analytica – (DNC/GOP); Sid Blumenthal- (DNC); David Brock – (DNC); PR Firm Sunshine Sachs (DNC); Covington and Burling – (DNC), Buzzfeed – (DNC) Perkins Coie – (DNC); Wilson Sonsini – (DNC) and hundreds of others…These are the people and companies that except cash, revolving door jobs, political appointments, insider trading stock in Silicon Valley tech companies, prostitutes and real estate in exchange for destroying the lives of others. – These attackers deserve to be punished for the rest of their lives for taking away the lives of others in exchange for cash. Any company who is corrupt enough to hire any of these assassins should be forced out of business. These attack services are responsible for 90% of the “Fake News” problem in the world because they are the authors of most fake news. Congress must act to make these kinds of companies illegal! – These digital assassination services offer hit-jobs, character assassinations and economic reprisal programs to famous billionaires and corrupt politicians who are seeking revenge, retribution and vendetta executions. – In the case of reporters getting targeted for attacks, President Donald Trump has been accused by the liberal corporate media of whipping up a hateful frenzy against the press. But while CNN’s Jim Acosta grandstands against Trump, real journalists are still reeling from the draconian extrajudicial measures that Barack Obama and his administration used to target them for exposing truth.
This secretive targeting occurred while Obama speechwriter and hate-filled ANTIFA supporter Ben Rhodes was running “Operation Echo Chamber,” which reportedly continues, in which he fed information to willing corporate media scribes. “They literally know nothing,” Rhodes said of the twentysomething journalists he easily manipulated. – The Freedom of the Press Foundation’s Trevor Timm published documents showing how former attorney general Eric Holder changed the rules to more effectively intimidate and surveil members of the press. – Timm writes: “Today, we are revealing—for the first time—the Justice Department’s rules for targeting journalists with secret FISA court orders. The documents were obtained as part of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought by Freedom of the Press Foundation and Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University.” – Obama is also clearly linked to the plot to obtain fraudulent FISA warrants on President Trump’s team, as evidenced by Peter Strzok and Lisa Page’s texts confirming that Obama was overseeing their fly-by-night operation. – Larry Schweikart reported for Big League Politics: For months pundits and researchers have been pondering the mystery of the FISA approval that led to the illegal and historically titanic scandals to ever hit the U.S. government. Some have argued that Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein knew the FISA was bogus when he extended it. Others have wondered if Special Counsel Robert Mueller knew about the fraudulent basis of the FISA when he used it, in part, to indict Michael Flynn. Other still, that Mueller was fooled by the FBI.
This is what President Trump calls “SPYGATE”. – It may well be that the surveillance that was conducted began with UK intelligence services and then was fed back to the White House of Barack Obama. Here’s the kicker: President Barack Obama did not need a FISA warrant to authorize spying/electronic surveillance on Trump because Obama all along had legal authorization to by-pass the normal court vetting process. According to 50 U.S. Code 1802, the “Electronic Surveillance Authorization” () “Foreign intelligence in relation to a US person (Trump or his associates) is information that’s necessary for the US to protect against attack, hostile acts, sabotage, . . . as well as other clandestine activities by a foreign power . . . OR . . . information relevant to national defense/security of the US, or the conduct of foreign affairs of the U.S.” Such an authorization by Obama required certification by Attorney General Loretta Lynch that must be logged with the FISC court. (“The [AG]+ shall immediately transmit under seal to the court [FISC] a copy of his certification.”) – In short, the DOJ has this. If we are correct, a copy of that certification is currently under seal at least with the DOJ and the FISC. – This is what they are hiding.
However, the Act requires the AG to keep the Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Committee on Intelligence informed of these authorizations and unmaskings therein. See 1803 (a) (1) (C) If indeed this is what happened, did Lynch report—or only selectively report—to the committees in a way that excluded non-friendlies? Can you see why Adam Schiff, Mark Warner, and their ilk are terrified? – These are the playbook tactics that Senators and tech oligarchs most often use to destroy the lives of their political and business enemies: – Government agency bosses sometimes solicit the target victims with false promises of future loans, contracts or grants from their agency and cause the target victims to expend millions of dollars and years of their time for projects which those government bosses had covertly promised to their friends.
They use the target victims as a “smokescreen” to cover tgements and all other IAC-owned, or similar, dating sites (IAC is managed by Hillary Clinton’s daughter) have had their profiles, texts, and inter-member communications, since those companies were started, hacked or purchased. The attack service providers use Palantir and In-Q-Tel financed data analysis software to analyze every activity in those dating services in order to find honey-trap, blackmail, sextortion and social conflict exploitation opportunities. If you had a bad date with someone, that someone will be hunted down and convinced to help harm, #metoo or “rape charge” the intended target. All dates involve a search for sex, so the likelihood that a sexual disappointment experience will exist in each persons dating history is high. Searching every past dating email and text of a subject is quite easy with modern software and hacking techniques. A synthetically amplified, PR-agency optimized sex scandal can deste unattractive or had bad sexual skills your bad date will be called “date rape”, “drugging your date for sex” and related twisted narratives that are designed to shame ycial life will, essentially, end. Every photo on every dating site is cross checked with every other photo on the internet in order to cull your Facebook, Linkedin, Snapchat and other social media together to create a total psychological manipulation profile dataurity, SSI, SDI, Disability and other earned benefits are stone-walled. Applications of targets are “lost”. Files in the application process “disappeared”. Lois Lerner hard drive “incidents” are operated in order to seek to hide information and run cover-ups. – Government officials and tech oligarchs conts Action Lawsuit” cases) you will never get investor funding again. – FOIA requests are hidden, frozen, stone-walled, delayed, lied about and only partially responded to in order to seek to hide information and run cover-ups.- State and federal employees will play an endless game of Catch-22 by arbitrarily determining that deadlines had passed that they, the government officials, had stonewalled and obfuscated applications for, in order to force these deadlines that they set, to appear to be missed. This can bankrupt a target victim.- Some Victims found themselves strangely poisoned, not unlike the Alexander Litvenko case. Heavy metals and toxic materials were found right after their work with the Department of Energy weapons and energy facilities. Many wonder if these “targets” were intentionally exposed to toxins in retribution for their testimony. The federal MSDS documents clearly show that a number of these people were exposed to deadly compounds and radiations, via DOE, without being provided with proper HazMat suits which DOE officials knew were required. – Victims employers are called, and faxed, and ordered to fire target victims from their places of employment, in the middle of the day, with no notice, as a retribution tactic.
On orders from Obama White House officials, DNC-financed Google, YouTube, Gawker Media and Gizmodo Media produce attack articles and defamation videos. Google locks this attack media on the internet on the top line, of the front page of all Google searches for a decade in front of 7.5 billion people, around the world. This attack-type uses over $40 million dollars in server farms, production costs and internet rigging. The forensic data acquired from tracking some of these attacks proves that Google rigs attacks against individuals on the internet and that all of Google’s “impressions” are manually controlled by Google’s executives who are also the main financiers and policy directors of the Obama Administration. This data was provided to the European Union for it’s ongoing prosecution of Google’s political manipulation of public perceptions. – Victims HR and employment records, on recruiting and hiring databases, are embedded with negative keywords in order to prevent the victim targets from ever gaining future employment. – Gary D. Conley, Seth Rich, Rajeev Motwani and many other whistle-blowers in these matters, turned up dead under strange circumstances. It is very possible that some of these attack services, operated by former CIA operatives, even offer discrete murder-for-sale services using high-tech assassination tools that make murders look like heart attacks and brain failures. – Disability and VA complaint hearings and benefits are frozen, delayed, denied or subjected to lost records and “missing hard drives” as in the Lois Lerner case.- Paypal (A DNC-biased operation) and other on-line payments for on-line sales are de-platformed, delayed, hidden, or re-directed in order to terminate income potential for target victims who competed with the attackers interests and holdings.- DNS redirection, “website spoofing” sends target victims websites to dead ends where no sales orders or customer inquiries actually get back to the target. These internet revenue activity manipulations are conducted using Google and Amazon servers. All commercial storefronts and on-line sales attempts by target victims, will have had their sites hidden, or search engine de-linked by a massively resourced facility located in Virginia, Texas or Palo Alto, California in order to terminate revenue potentials for the target victims.- Over 50,000 trolls, shills, botnets and synth-blog deployments are deployed to place defamatory statements and disinformation about victims in front of 7.5 billion people around the world on the internet in order to seek to damage their federal testimony credibility by a massively resourced facility.
Campaign finance dirty tricks contractors are hired by campaign financiers to attack the friends and family members of the target victim in order to create low morale for the target victims psyche and motivation.- Are you getting weird headaches and hearing a “buzzing sound” in your head? The U.S. Government has now acknowledged that the Cuban, Chinese and other embassy “sonic attacks” are from a known microwave beam weapon.
Any one of the technical departments of the attack services listed at the top of this article can build such a biological harassment weapon. It can be aimed at the target victims office, bedroom or vehicle and, within a week, have caused biological and emotional damage using a weapon that has no visible track of trajectory. It is designed to make the target victim think they are “going crazy” or “hearing sounds in their head”.- In one case covert political partner: Google, transferred large sums of cash to dirty tricks contractors and then manually locked the media portion of the attacks into the top lines of the top pages of all Google searches globally, for years, with hidden embedded codes in the links and web-pages which multiplied the attacks on Victims by many magnitudes.
Covert Cartel financier: Google, placed Google’s lawyer: Michelle Lee, in charge of the U.S. Patent Office and she, in turn, stacked all of the U.S. Patent Office IPR and ALICE review boards and offices with Google-supporting employees in order to rig the U.S. Patent Office to protect Google from being prosecuted for the vast patent thefts that Google engages in. Google has hundreds of patent lawsuits for technology theft and a number of those lawsuits refer to Google’s operations as “Racketeering”, “Monopolistic Cartel” and “Government Coup-like” behaviors.
Thousands of articles and investigations detail the fact that Google, “essentially” ran the Obama White House and provided over 80% of the key White House staff. A conflict-of-interest unlike any in American history. Google’s investors personally told Applicant they would “kill him”. Google and the Obama Administration were “the same entity”. Applicant testified in the review that got Michelle Lee terminated and uncovered a tactical political and social warfare group inside Google who were financed by Federal and State funds. – Honeytraps and moles were employed by the attackers. In this tactic, people who covertly worked for the attackers were employed to approach the “target” in order to spy on and misdirect the subject. – Gawker Media, Gizmodo Media, Snopes, SPLC and other hired media assassins will be retained to produce “hatchet job” character assassination articles about you. Then those articles will be faxed, mailed and emailed to your employer and investors with a note saying: “You don’t want to have anything to do with this person, do you..?” in order to get you fired from your job and get your loans or financing pulled. The attackers will use their round one attack media, that they authored, to create a round two second wave attack designed to end your life via economic warfare.
Mortgage and rental applications will have had red flags added to them in databases to prevent the targets from getting homes or apartments.- Krebs On Security, Wired, Ars Technica, The Wall Street Journal and most major IT publications have reported that hundreds of spy “back-doors” have been found on every Intel, AMD, Apple, Xfinity, Cisco, Microsoft, Juniper Networks motherboard, chip-set and hardware component set. This means that any kid with the “key” code can open any computer, server, router, cloud-network or other network connected device and read every file, photo, video, your calendar and email on your devices at any time from any location on Earth. The key codes have been released to every hacker community in the world for over ten years. There is now no government, corporate or personal data that can’t be hacked, even data from decades ago. Every single one of your darkest secrets can be in the hands of your enemy within 60 minutes, or less. Important meetings you had planned with potential investors, employers, clients, dates, suppliers and others will suddenly get cancelled at the last minute.
They will get cancelled because your enemies are reading your calendar remotely and covertly sending slander information to those you had hoped to engage with in order to sabotage your life. Nothing you have ever typed on a computer or Smartphone is safe. it WILL be acquired and it WILL be used against you. – McCarthy-Era “Black-lists” are created and employed against target victims who competed with Obama Administration executives and their campaign financiers to prevent them from getting funding and future employment. – Obama Administration targets were very carefully placed in a position of not being able to get jobs, unemployment benefits, disability benefits or acquire any possible sources of income. The retribution tactics were audacious, overt..and quite illegal. – There are thousands of additional Dirty Tricks tactics being used by these Attack Services yet Congress refuses to pass laws out-lawing such attack services. The cost of an attack on a person ranges from $150,000.00 to over $50,000,000.00. While a Silicon Valley billionaire can afford to launch counter-measures to these attacks, any regular taxpayer will be utterly destroyed, and incapable of fighting back, against even the smallest version of one of these “kill orders”.
A number of modern office shootings are the results of these attacks against an individual who has lost everything because of the attack and has no options left. – Federal law enforcement, the United States Congress and the highest level investigators in the U.S., and abroad, have documented (per the “FISA Memo”, Congressional Reports and federal employee testimony) and proven the fact that the Obama Administration regularly engaged in the operation of retribution, vendetta and reprisal campaigns known as “hit-jobs” against domestic natural born U.S. citizen domestic taxpayers. The Federal Court, in at least one previous court case,has ruled that Applicants, in this particular matter, were the victims and target of a number of these attacks designed to inflict permanent medical, emotional, character assassination, brand negation, economic and career damage. The FBI has been asked to interview John Cook, Nicholas Guido Denton, Adrian Covert, Patrick George, Ian Fette and John Hermann of Gawker/Gizmodo re: their financing, payola and hit-job attacks on third parties.
The DNC bosses use character assassination as their main political tool against any member of the public who speaks out against their felony stock market scams and PizzaGate-like scandals. The Harvey Weinstein reports by Ronan Farrow show that they have teams of hired goons that they pay to destroy people’s lives. They use Black Cube, Mossad, In-Q-Tel, Stratfor, Gawker Media, Gizmodo Media, Media Matters, David Brock, Sid Blumenthal, NY Times, Google servers, Facebook servers, Podesta Group, Perkins Coie, Covington & Burling and a host of “assassins”.
It should be a felony to hire character assassins in the USA. DEMAND A LAW and DEMAND the termination of these attack services. IE: Gawker and Gizmodo Media sets-up the attack stories and, in paid partnership with Google, Google kicks their attack links around the globe, in front of 8 Billion people, forever. Google locks the attack articles of its enemies on the front top search results of Google search results forever, on purpose! That is why Google is being terminated in the largest, most well resourced anti-corruption public service take-down in history!
SILICON VALLEY RAPE-CULTURE
These tech cartel perpetrators operate a massive and abusive national sex scheme. The perverts in the SandHill Road Venture Capital offices (ie: Kleiner Perkins, Greylock, Andreesen, Khosla, Draper Fisher, etc.) , located between Highway 280 down to to Santa Cruz Avenue on Sand Hill Road in Menlo Park, California, are the main perpetrators of this global cartel. They have taken over online dating sites and social media sites and used them to (SEE THE PROOF AT: ) spy on the public, harvest photos, put opposing citizens on ‘watch-lists’, source underage sex, run HONEY TRAP campaigns and other crimes.
Now that THE LINCOLN PROJECT has been revealed to be an underage sex ring and the White House is again filled with sex scandal conflicts-of-interest, and Silicon Valley’s sex trafficking has only gotten worse, it is impossible to deny the fact that these political manipulators are covering up a sex perversion cult.
They have dozens of executive pimp-like providers who meet with them at their homes, offices and parties and manage the operations of this sex ring.
( )
Their executives at Google, Facebook, Netflix, Linkedin, Twitter, and their related holdings, comprise the rest. The Harvey Weinstein and Ed Buck sex scandals are well known.
( )
These sex cult actions have been widely covered in the news individually, ie:
– The Joe Lonsdale rape case
( )
– The Kleiner Perkins Ellen Pao sex abuse lawsuit
( )
– The Eric Schmidt sex penthouse
( )
– The Jeffrey Epstein case
( )
– The Google Forrest Hayes hooker murder case

( )
– The Michael Goguen anal sex slave case

and thousands of other cases and federal divorce court filings.( )
This group of people have proven themselves, over and over, to be sociopath control freaks not fit for participation in public commerce, public policy or media control.

( )
The Four Seasons Hotel and Rosewood Hotels in Silicon Valley are estimated to engage in over $30,000.00 of high-end escort sex trafficking per day, a portion of it managed by Eastern Bloc Mafia operators.

( )
( )
– The Elon Musk sex perversions are the tip of the iceberg.
( )
At least 10 Ukrainian escorts fly in and out of SFO and SJO airports every week for these Cartel members. Google boss David Drummond engaged in horrible philandering sexual violations of his wife yet Google covers up every story about it on the web. Google’s Eric Schmidt is under massive investigation.
( )
You hear about the female victims of this sex cult but you rarely hear about the young male victims. One of their vast numbers of prostitutes is quoted as saying that the girls and boys are paid “not just for sex but for the oligarch’s endless need to feel that they can control anyone for any reason…”. Multiple attorney general’s controlled by their cartel, ie: Eric Schneiderman and Eliot Spitzer , are involved this these sex rings.

An inordinate number of the members are closeted homosexuals who seek to use their media monopolies and massive lobbyist ownership’s to promote child sex and child sex change consideration. They have fake straight wives, called “beards” to help them keep up the appearance of being straight. A large portion of the so-called “Paypal Mafia” are homosexual.They organize to promote Netflix and similar media outlets to produce underage gay sex movies and normalize their deviant interests in a radical political manner.

Just like the Taliban don’t give a second thought to cutting e tech nut balls live in, and operate, a TED-based brain washing culture that promotes “ANY EVIL FOR THE POWER OF THE CAUSE”. The “Cause” is pure yuppie greed and control of society for their own self-satisfaction. Youtube’s Ann Wojcicki, Theranos’ Elizabeth Holmes and Tesla’s Elon Musk are psychologically incapable of seeing the fact that they are sociopath assholes. When they cruise down to Robert’s snooty market in Woodside, California; they reinforce each other’s fantasy perception of the fake world they have created with their air kisses and their snide comments. Their mutual tunnel-vision has set them on the path to madness. Thousands of their employees, business partners, neighbors, ex-boyfriends and girlfriends have testified to their mentally unstable conditions. They have no right to run monopolies in America using resources paid for by the taxpayley-controlled “Main-stream Media” cover all of these news stories up? Because they are part of the crimes!
Powerful political allies from the left and right have joined forces to mock and gaslight the average “populist” American who might read alternative media over the mainstream media (MSM) and who looks on the culture of the elite and feels nauseated and embarrassed, and the political elite hates the average American for their spirituality, values, and Western Civilization love. Now, consider how weird the elite are.
According to The Telegraph, in an article titled, Inside the multi-million dollar orgasm cult endorsed by Hollywood. A story of idealism and desire, of Californian sex communes….and three-hour orgasms,” Mick Brown describes in detail in what he calls something, “very, very bizarre.”
Brown reveals numerous Hollywood celebrities who are involved in some bizarre sexual business, where someone sells the idea that ancient meditation techniques are sexually pleasing. They do this for a lot ofonsider the power that celebrities like ,the following, have to influence public policy by intermingling with political media and lawmakers.
Yes. Another weird sex cult. And recaually are involved in weird sex cults.
The left has brought us the Vagina Monologues, the Pussy hats, a BDSM manual; 50 Shades of Grey, transgender and pedophiles everywhere, Jeffrey Epstein and his well-connected list of perverts-and now we find out that obsession with institutional fericans are not going to get this.
From his article, Brown tells us things that will seem very foreign and strange to the average American who doesn’t have the elite’s leisure time or disposable income. The article sounds like people who simply have too much time and too much money, and not enough healthy hobb Female Orgasm, and was standing in front of two glowing, vulva-shaped lights, described how in 1998 at a party she had met a man who practiced what he called ‘contemplative sexuality’.
Bloomberg did an expose on the group uncovering numerous fraudulent schemes and allegations of sexual abuse.
The Washington Post reported on the matter and said:
“ex-staffers say the company was basically a “sex cult,” complete with a messianic leader, BBC journalist Nastaran Tavakoli-Far says in the first episode of The Orgasm Cult.
The series promises first-person accounts from former staffers — plus graphic descriptions of the “meditation” classes themselves.
“It involves a woman undressing from the waist down, lying on a nest of pillows, and having her clitoris stroked, usually by a man, very precisely on the upper left-hand quadrant, the so-called ‘one o’clock spot,” Tavakoli-Far tells listeners, describing what participants called “OM-ing,” their catchphrase for “orgasmic meditation.”
The Telegraph reported that “In October 2018, after the Bloomberg exposé, OneTaste announced it was closing all its US offices saying instead it would be focusing on online education to reach a wider audience. But the OneTaste website no longer exists…And Nicole Daedone disappeared.” That is also weird.
Her Wikipedia page describes Daedone as, “Nicole Daedone is an American businesswoman. Born in Los Gatos, California, she holds a bachelor’s degree in gender communications from San Francisco State University. She studied with teachers of yoga, Kabbalah, and Buddhist meditation, and with Ray Vetterlein, who was in turn inspired by Morehouse.”
In the article by Brown, Daedone obviously lifted some ideas about meditation techniques, found some people prone to self-indulgence who had too much money and perhaps some personality disorders, and added some female orgasms to it all, made some money, and then disappeared. Remember, some of the rubes of this whole none are highly influential political leaders.
And Americans who call the elite perverts, pedophiles, rapists, and sexually deviant are right. What is described for readers appears to expose wealthy and powerful people who are dabbling in a sexual activity completely focused on extending their own pleasures and justifying the added ego gratification because they are progressive and bringing forth new ideas.
However, crimes are alleged at the hands of this business.
Except these ideas are as old as humanity, technology or not, and they produce a dysfunction called narcissism. Consider that the symptoms of narcissism are: Symptoms include an excessive need for admiration, disregard for others’ feelings, an inability to handle any criticism, and a sense of entitlement. From Breitbart in Jan 2020, the left, led by Paltrow, celebrated their sexual oddities in public, showing America their powerful cultural influences at the same time, in a voyeuristic splash with Netflix.
“Hollywood star and wellness entrepreneur Gwyneth Paltrow hosted her Goop company event in front of a vagina-shaped flower arrangement on Tuesday.
Paltrow sold out of her stock of “vagina-scented” candles ahead of her special screening of the upcoming Netflix series about her offbeat company, Goop Lab,” Breitbart reported.
While the average American is struggling to raise families and watching their Civil Liberties being stolen from them by an elite group of politicians who are influenced by bizarre media obsessed with celebrity culture, this story is just not funny.
These people need to be far away from influencing public policy. Suppose Silicon Valley has that much free time on its hands. They may understand the needs and rights of Americans better if they spent more time working and less time looking for three-hour orgasms.
Let’s take a look at the biggest deny queen of the sex cult: Nancy Pelosi:
NANCY PELOSI’S PIZZAGATE
Nancy Pelosi has a pizza parlor in San Francisco called: GOAT HILL PIZZA. It is on Potrero Hill at : 300 Connecticut St, San Francisco, CA 94107-2816 – Phone: +1 415 641 1440.Right around the corner is the public library where the NAMBLA pedophile club meets and they get their pizza from GOAT HILL PIZZA as an ode to The Pelosi’s who protect famous people in San Francisco who are peds. Roger Boas, the City Hall boss arrested for running a child prostitution ring for other officials, used GOAT HILL PIZZAS back room for sex ring arrangement meetings.
In addition… I go in-depth on the news of Nancy Pelosi being linked to Goat Hill Pizza in San Francisco. The concern obviously is the Pizza Parlour being used as a front company. Are they running all sorts of ugly, demonic and evil business in the background?

ELON MUSK PROVEN TO HAVE EXPOSED WORKERS TO DEADLY COVID ON PURPOSE BECAUSE OF HIS CRAZY IDEAS: SAN FRANCISCO – Tesla’s Bay Area production plant recorded hundreds of positive covid-19 cases following CEO Elon Musk’s defiant reopening of the plant last May, according to county-level data obtained by a legal transparency website. The document, obtained by the website PlainSite following a court ruling this year, showed Tesla received around 10 reports of covid-19 in May when the plant reopened, and saw a steady rise in cases all the way up to 125 in December, as the disease caused by the novel coronavirus peaked around the country.

ORRUPTION, BRIBES AND CRONY POLITICS RULE SAN FRANCISCO
San Francisco and Silicon Valley are both run by the same dynastic criminally corrupt families and sick perverted insiders. They send their kids to Stanford University where they indoctrinate and brainwash the next generation into a culture of greed, sex, political bribery and Sandhill Road collusion. San Francisco City Hall is powered by hookers, sex and kick-backs. Every attendee at the San Francisco Symphony and Opera opening nights are the “elite” scum of the Pacific Heights money and power manipulation crowd. Old men wield young arm candy as they siphon off taxpayers money into their personal construction and real estate company City contracts. The FBI can’t even keep up with all of the crimes. If you think the FBI arrests of Northern California political criminals is going good, know that they FBI has a backlog that is years long. An FBI forensic accounting investigation of the CPA files and investment bank records of each “old San Francisco family” and public official would reveal stock market crimes, insider trading, real estate money laundering and stock market payola crimes that are Off-The-Scales!
San Francisco used up to $150 million of state funds to help buy alcohol and cannabis for their homeless population.

Famous writer Ezra Klein says San Francisco has gone socially insane: ” If progressivism can’t work there, why should the country believe it can work anywhere else?” He said that: You may have heard that San Francisco’s Board of Education voted 6 to 1 to rename 44 schools, stripping ancient racists of their laurels, but also Abraham Lincoln and Senator Dianne Feinstein. The history upon which these decisions were made was dodgy, and the results occasionally bizarre. Paul Revere, for instance, was canceled for participating in a raid on Indigenous Americans that was actually a raid on a British fort. In normal times, bemusement would be the right response to a story like this. Cities should have idiosyncratic, out-there politics. You need to earn your “Keep X weird” bumper stickers. And for all the Fox News hosts who’ve collapsed onto their fainting couches, America isn’t suffering from a national shortage of schools named for Abraham Lincoln.
But San Francisco’s public schools remain closed, no matter the name on the front. “What I cannot understand is why the School Board is advancing a plan to have all these schools renamed by April, when there isn’t a plan to have our kids back in the classroom by then,” Mayor London Breed said in a statement. I do not want to dismiss the fears of teachers (or parents), many living in crowded homes, who fear returning to classrooms during a pandemic. But the strongest evidence we have suggests school openings do not pose major risks when proper precautions are followed, but their continued closure does terrible harm to students, with the worst consequences falling on the neediest children. And that’s where this goes from wacky local news story to a reflection of a deeper problem. California has the highest poverty rate in the nation, when you factor in housing costs, and vies for the top spot in income inequality, too. California is dominated by Democrats, but many of the people Democrats claim to care about most can’t afford to live there. San Francisco politicians generally have low IQ’s and loud mouths, just like internet “influencers”.
San Francisco residents stop city from renaming 44 schools honor so-called racist historical leaders
The median price for a home in California is more than $700,000. As Bloomberg reported in 2019, the state has four of the nation’s five most expensive housing markets and a quarter of the nation’s homeless residents. The root of the crisis is simple: It’s very, very hard to build homes in California. When he ran for governor in 2018, Gavin Newsom promised the construction of 3.5 million housing units by 2025. Newsom won, but California has built fewer than 100,000 homes each year since. In much of San Francisco, you can’t walk 20 feet without seeing a multicolored sign declaring that Black lives matter, kindness is everything and no human being is illegal. Those signs sit in yards zoned for single families, “If you’re living eight or 10 people to a home, it’s hard to protect yourself from the virus,” Senator Wiener told me. “Yet what we see at times is people with a Bernie Sanders sign and a ‘Black Lives Matter’ sign in their window, but they’re opposing an affordable housing project or an apartment complex down the street.” In California, taking that standard seriously might mean worrying less about the name on the school than whether there are children inside it. In San Francisco, politics becomes an aesthetic rather than a program. You have to have a BLM sign in your window and a rainbow sticker on your Tesla bumper but you never actually intend to do anything that is NIMBY. San Francisco’s fake symbols of progressivism are always preferred to the sacrifices and risks those ideals demand. In San Francisco Democrats hold total control of the government. If progressivism cannot work here, why should the country believe it can work anywhere else?

So I went to a wedding in Sacramento, and found a cheap flight to Europe out of Oakland a few days later. So girlfriend decided we ought to see San Fransisco for a night. So we hear about a great restaurant, get into SF at like 8, park the car in a well-lit spot and get dinner. After dinner we walk past the car on the way to get some dessert, at 10pm. By the time we get back to the car at 10:30, the back window is smashed, side rear window is smashed, and both my bags are missing. I honestly don’t give a fuck if San Fransisco wants to make itself a shithole, but what pisses me the fuck off is that these morherfuckers think they’re so fucking smart and they know exactly how to live, and meanwhile crime is out of fucking control to the point that people are smashing car windows at 10pm I’m well lit and well travelled streets, homeless are everywhere, and they want to export the same policies that have destroyed their city and state to the rest of the country. Fuck off California leftists and your fucking bullshit.

Today he runs a grocery store filled with fresh fruit, vegan snacks and organic wines typical of this famously liberal Californian city.
But Gilles has shut one outlet and would sell up entirely if anyone wanted this one, his remaining shop. Each day, up to 30 people stroll in and openly steal goods, costing him hundreds of dollars.
A street cleaner showed me a box filled with used syringes that he had collected, then I met two charity workers picking up needles from the pavement. How many do you find a day, I ask? ¿Between 300 and 600, depending on the weather,¿ one replies. A homeless man is pictured second left using a syringe to inject drugs in the city in June 2018

How many do you find a day, I ask? ‘Between 300 and 600, depending on the weather,’ one replies. A homeless man is pictured second left using a syringe to inject drugs in the city in June 2018
He has been bitten twice recently by people in his shop and he also found a woman turning blue in the toilet after a drugs overdose, a hypodermic needle still stuck in her leg. He showed me a metal door that is corroding due to people urinating in his doorway, then spoke of finding a man relieving himself in full view of infants playing in a child centre next door. ‘Our society is falling apart,’ says Desaulniers. ‘If people do not play by some rules, society does not function. But it feels like there is no order, there is no shame.’ He uses two apocalyptic movies to illustrate the state of his adopted city: ‘Living here feels like A Clockwork Orange and Blade Runner have both come true.’
I could grasp his despair. I had just passed dealers selling drugs beside a police car parked outside government offices, and seen their customers openly smoke fentanyl, an opioid 50 times stronger than heroin, then collapse on the street.
City ranks among worst tax-and-spend offenders…

All cities have their seedy sides. But tiveness, has more billionaires per capita than any other on the planet.
Not long ago, a seven-bedroom home here recently sold for $38 million (£29 million), while at the Michelin-starred Saison restaurant, the ‘kitchen menu’ starts at $298 a head and reservations require a $148 deposit.
The city authorities have a huge $12 billion budget, handing their 31,800 ste of the technology giants based in the nearby Silicon Valley, has switched a conference for 60,000 people to Las Vegas due to the toxic combination of ‘poor street conditions’ and costly hotels.
This followed a medical association moving its $40 million convention out of San Francisco amid safety fears because of sordid tent encampments and overt drug use. Other events are being affected.
‘Indoors, people are making deals, talking about healthcare and networking. Yet in the streets, I witnessed homeless people injecting cocaine,’ tweeted Kistein Monkhouse while attending a recent J. P. Morgan conference for 9,000 people.
As one prominent academic tells me, it seems a cruel irony that so much squalor and despair is found in the Californian base of all those billionaire technology titans seeking to reshape the world in their image.
‘San Francisco has always had hobos but we’ve never seen anything like this. It’s become a vision of some kind of strange dystopian future,’ says Joel Kotkin, a widely respected professor in urban studies.
He can reel off damning statistics to back his claim that San Francisco symbolises the Golden State’s descent into ‘high-tech feudalism’ including America’s highest poverty levels, its worst rates of property crime and its biggest gap between top and middle incomes.
But one statistic stands out: almost half of homeless people in the United States are in California, according to a recent White House study.
And San Francisco, a comparatively small city that is home to tech giants such as Twitter, Uber and Airbnb, has the highest rate of ‘unsheltered’ citizens – at ten times the national level.

Downtown visitors cannot fail to witness the distressing evidence. Almost instantly after I arrived, I saw three people smoking crystal meth through glass pipes, then others with the facial scabs and sores associated with this destructive drug. One man with matted hair sat slumped in a stupor wearing just grubby underpants.
Another, clearly under the influence of heroin, had ‘nodded off’ and was static on a child’s bicycle. A third urinated on the street. A woman changed her clothes from a tatty suitcase on the pavement.
Others shuffled pathetically or rolled slowly along the street in wheelchairs. Some were clearly suffering mental distress, such as a man in his 50s begging for cash who told me he was waiting for his air force pension. A street cleaner showed me a box filled with used syringes that he had collected, then I met two charity workers picking up needles from the pavement.
How many do you find a day, I ask? ‘Between 300 and 600, depending on the weather,’ one replies. So if you are going to San Francisco, feel free to wear flowers in your hair but local women say avoid sandals on your feet. Dog owners complain they have to wash human faeces from the legs of their pets after a walk. One fed-up resident showed me Hondurans handing out socks filled with wraps of drugs in front of a building being turned into an upmarket Whole Foods store. The dealers displayed little need for concealment. ‘After a while, you become desensitised – it’s like everyone here is wearing blinkers,’ says my guide, a man in his 30s. ‘All my friends with kids have moved out of the city.’
The city and state have some of the highest tax rates in the country, but his area of SoMa West voted to back a fresh charge on firms to fund a new community group to clean up its streets. It is the 17th district to pass such a measure.
‘You have to develop a thick skin,’ says Sonya Lee, 24, supervisor in a Starbucks branch surrounded by bustling boutiques, expensive hotels and smart restaurants. ‘Every day, people come in and take stuff. It’s dreadful but we don’t know what to do.’
San Francisco, a comparatively small city that is home to tech giants such as Twitter, Uber and Airbnb, has the highest rate of “unsheltered citizens” at ten times the national level.

San Francisco, a comparatively small city that is home to tech giants such as Twitter, Uber and Airbnb, has the highest rate of ‘unsheltered’ citizens – at ten times the national level. Official data, based on one night’s count last year, claimed 8,011 homeless people in this city of 884,000 people – a rise of 17 per cent on 2017. But a record of those receiving healthcare found numbers twice as high and rising faster. City authorities claim their key problem is the high cost of housing combined with past failures to build enough properties. But many blame something simpler to solve: the lack of law enforcement.
‘When you tell vagrants that anything goes, it leads to the anarchy you see on these streets,’ says Heather MacDonald, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute think-tank and a conservative essayist. She believes we are witnessing a ‘real-life experiment’ into what happens if society stops enforcing bourgeois norms out of sensitivity to vulnerable people. MacDonald argues that the city authorities are culpable, fuelling drug addiction by doling out 4.5 million needles a year when there is nothing compassionate about giving addicts and mentally ill people the freedom to ‘decompose’ on the streets.
Much of what she says is backed by Thomas Wolf, 49, who lost his job and family after becoming addicted to opioid painkillers following foot surgery, then moving on to cheaper heroin and ending up homeless in his native city. ‘It is a cycle of despair,’ he says. ‘I was heartbroken at losing my wife and kids but all I cared about was drugs. I hated being on the streets but I loved the easy access to drugs. ‘Yet there’s such denial that if you’d have asked me if I had a problem, I’d have said no.’
Wolf, who now works for the Salvation Army helping homeless people rebuild lives and has just been appointed to a specialist civic taskforce, sees untreated addiction as the root cause of the city’s problem. He says most people living on the streets are hooked on either drugs or drink.
‘If you see someone shouting at the wall, it is crystal meth, not mental illness – although meth might have destroyed their mind.’ Wolf claims that while the city distributes drug paraphernalia, he was never asked to quit or offered help. He says many users sell their monthly welfare $190 food stamps on receipt to go on a binge. And he wants to see generous welfare benefits – almost $600 a month in return for 12 hours of voluntary work – slashed. His own time as a homeless heroin addict ended after police caught him holding six socks filled with drugs for Honduran dealers. His brother bailed him from jail on condition that he went into rehab. He was lucky. Last year there were 234 deaths from fentanyl and heroin in the city, more than double the previous year and five times higher than in 2016.
Wolf believes that the decision by a state ballot six years ago to reclassify thefts of property below the value of $950 as misdemeanours has backfired badly, leading to a huge increase in shoplifting. ‘It is a disaster,’ he says. ‘The idea was sound – to reduce jailing that is predominantly of minorities – but the side effect was to embolden people to commit crime with impunity. Everyone knows you can go into shops and steal up to $950.’ Even shampoo, deodorant and toothpaste are now locked up in chemist shops to curb thefts. The police declined to speak officially. But one officer sitting in his car beside blatant street-dealing said there was no point arresting people as they would simply be released, even if they were carrying drugs and cash valued at several thousand dollars. ‘I find it very frustrating and lots of my colleagues find it very frustrating,’ he says, adding that officers only intervene when there is violence. ‘We get the blame because people think we’re doing nothing. But it’s not our fault.’ Wes Tyler, manager of a family-owned hotel, told me a man high on crystal meth smashed a $5,000 window one Sunday afternoon – then repeatedly ignored court dates and probation orders despite being seen in the neighbourhood last week.
‘If City Hall does not start to take these issues more seriously, we’ll see businesses impacted,’ says Jay Cheng, spokesman for the local Chamber of Commerce. Yet true to form, San Francisco has just elected as district attorney a radical called Chesa Boudin, whose parents were infamous militants from a far-Left, anti-war group. They were jailed for triple murder when Chesa was a toddler, leaving him to be adopted by the founders of the organisation.

The beautiful city by the bay, where Tony Bennett famously left his heart and which poses as a beacon of progressiveness, has more billionaires per capita than any other on the planet. Not long ago, a seven-bedroom home here recently sold for $38 million (£29 million), while at the Michelin-starred Saison restaurant, the ‘kitchen menu’ starts at $298 a head and reservations require a $148 deposit. The 39-year-old, who studied at Oxford University as a Rhodes scholar and later worked as a translator for Venezuela’s former leader Hugo Chavez, a Fidel Castro acolyte, campaigned on moving away from prosecuting ‘quality of life’ offences to focus on serious and corporate offences. The San Francisco Police Officers Association spent heavily campaigning against Boudin, saying he was the choice for ‘criminals and gang members’.
But Jennifer Friedenbach, executive director of the charity Coalition on Homelessness, argues city residents should get angry over ‘systemic neglect’ that sparked this crisis rather than blaming people on the streets. ‘No one wants to live like this,’ she says. ‘We’ve tried locking people up before but that didn’t work.’ Friedenbach insists that the problems stem from a lack of affordable housing, a significant reduction of emergency shelters and the slashing of spending on treatment programmes.
She says, rightly, that issues of homelessness, mental health and addiction are often linked. The city’s mayor, London Breed, whose younger sister died of a drug overdose and elder brother was jailed for robbery, declined to comment.
In her inaugural speech, Breed said the ‘twin troubles of homelessness and housing affordability’ were the big challenge. She is boosting grants for shelters, treatment and street cleaning. Yet those desperate sights staining this one-time hippy nirvana are ultimately the sign of abject political failure. Her new fiefdom is, after all, so populated by millionaires in their exclusive enclaves that it is the second richest city in the world’s richest nation. Considering the city’s wealth, it smacks of callous and uncaring hypocrisy. As one local resident says: ‘Are they really being progressive to that poor guy in the street with a needle in his arm who is going to die tomorrow?’

San Francisco’s Homeless Encampments Expose The Failure Of A Liberal Utopia
By John Daniel Davidson
San Francisco Is Now The Most Rapidly Failing City In America
In America’s most liberal city, increasingly visible homeless camps are a stark symbol of San Francisco’s economic hollowing out and the failure of progressive governance.
—————————————————-
SAN FRANCISCO – “You want the down-low? I’ll give you the down-low: Gavin Newsom and his pearl-clutching elitists from Pacific Heights only do things that profit themselves!
These guys will all tell you something different, but the one thing everyone here has in common is that they all do drugs.”
I’m talking to a group of homeless men camped out under Highway 101 in San Francisco’s Mission neighborhood, where a half-dozen tents are set up on a wide sidewalk across the street from a Best Buy. The thirty something guy who’s telling me it’s all about drugs doesn’t want to give me his name.
Shit-Hole San Francisco — where drug addicts outnumber high school students
Officer Brian Donohue checks on Jeffrey Choate after he sees him lying on the sidewalk along Larkin Street and asks him to dispose of used needles next to him in a proper container on Monday, September 10, 2018 in
San Francisco has more drug addicts than it has students enrolled in its public high schools, the city Health Department’s latest estimates conclude.
There are about 24,500 injection drug users in San Francisco — that’s about 8,500 more people than the nearly 1Tenderloin, where police reported more than 600 arrests for drug dealing last year. And where 27 suspects were booked into County Jail for dealing drugs in the first 20 days of the new year.
The out-in-the-open use of drugs on city sidewalks and at the Civic Center BART Station was a huge embarrassment for the city and triggered more police patrols and crackdowns in the past year. The BART station has been cleaned up, but the problem continues in the Tenderloin.
And while the police stay busy targeting day to overturn the 2015 sale of Presidio Terrace, a privately-owned street in the neighborhood of the same name used by a few dozen of the city’s wealthiest homeowners, faulting the city’s tax collector and not the residents for letting an annual $14 tax bill go unpaid for decades. Supervisor Mark Farrell, whose district includes Presidio Terrace, scheduled Tuesday’s hearing in August, allegedly to “get to the bottom” of the dispute and let all parties plead their case. A South Bay couple bought Presidio Terrace’s circular street and accompanying sidewalks at a tax sale to the tune of $90,000 after the Presidio Terrace Association (PTA) had failed to pay the taxes on their avenue for 30 years.

SAN FRANCISCO HAS TURNED INTO THE BIGGEST SHIT-HOLE CITY IN AMERICA
——————————————————–
SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA VENTURE CAPITAng about $450,000 in bribes to boost his two daughters’ entrance exam scores and get one of them into Georgetown University as a bogus tennis recruit.
ia, cried and dabbed his eyes with a tissue as he prayed for forgiveness from his children and other families he hurt, and asked the judge for mercy.
“There is no perfect way to express how broken I feel in my heart and soul,” said Henriquez, who sat next to his lawyer and wore a face mask for much of the hearing held via video conference because of the coronavirus pandemic.
His wife, Elizabeth Henriquez, was sentenced in March to seven months behind bars. She is currently locked up at a prison in California and is expected to be released in January, according to online records.
Prosecutors had asked for five months for Manuel Henriquez, calling him in court documents a “less active participant in the mechanics of the fraud than his wife.” The defense urged the judge for three months or less.
U.S. District Judge Nathaniel Gorton called Henriquez a hypocrite who donated money to aid children, while at the same time using his wealth and privilege to put his kids ahead of other less fortunate students in the college admissions process.
“It’s a sad day,” the judge said.
How San Francisco’s Wealthiest Families Launched Kamala ..
A high-school senior had deftly promoted her “brand” for the Ivy League,n scheme, showered praises on the young woman.
She’d started her own organization to fight climate change, he said. She’d eventually enroll in Brown. That student, it turns out, was Mary Doerr, a daughter of John Doerr, the Silicon Valley venture capitalist and early bacican academia, the parents who sought Singer’s advice and the Wall Street and Silicon Valley firms that are now dealing with the fallout.
Pro golfer Phil Mickelson and National Football League Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana each tweeted last week that their families had used Singer for college consulting and were “shocked” to hear about the illegal activity.
So are some of the Wall Street and Silicon Valley companies who had connections to Singer, including Goldman Sachs Group Inc., bond-giant PIMCO and venture-capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caulfield & Byers, which Doerr co-founded and is chairman.
Court papers suggest as many as 800 families hired Singer at some point. Singer ran an apparently legitimate college counseling firm, the Edge College & Career Network, before about 2011. The 2013 promotional video that referred to Mary Doerr says she was a client “six years ago,” or about 2007. The bribery case reaches back only to 2011.
The Doerr family has not been accused of any wrongdoing. Mary Doerr graduated from Brown University in 2015 and now is a graduate student at North Carolina State University, according to her LinkedIn profile.
Calls to Mary Doerr and her mother, Anne, were not returned. A Kleiner Perkins spokeswoman, Katie Hutchison, didn’t respond to a request to speak with John Doerr.
Hutchison declined to answer questions but said in a written statement that while Doerr and partner Tom Schlein, “along with a long list of Valley luminaries,” were clients of Singer, they consulted him only for “test tutoring and help with college applications — typical of services provided by thousands of private college counselors across the country — and nothing further.”
Goldman Sachs, which was mentioned in a wiretapped phone conversation as a social connection for at least one of the parents charged in Singer’s bribery-for-admissions scheme, says it has begun an internal investigation into any connection its employees may have to the former college consultant.
Firms whose partners and employees were caught up in the federal case known as “Operation Varsity Blues” have swiftly moved to fire or accept the resignations of people involved.
Bond-giant PIMCO said in a statement on Monday that “as part of a regular series that includes dozens of outside speakers, PIMCO invited Mr. Singer to speak twice over the past decade, the latest in 2015, about the college admissions process.” But the firm added that it “has never had a business relationship with Rick Singer or his college preparation organization. Neither PIMCO nor the PIMCO Foundation has ever paid Mr. Singer or donated money to his foundation.”
The statement added that any employees who engaged with Singer’s illegal scheme “would have no place at the firm.”
PIMCO’s former chief executive Douglas Hodge, who retired in 2017, is accused of paying about $500,000 in bribes for two daughters and a son to be admitted to Georgetown University and and the University of Southern California as fake tennis, soccer and football recruits.
The case has also sent shivers among affluent parents who fear they and their children will be tarnished as the Singer case unfolds.
Families now in the admissions process “want to illustrate that they’re a good family that wouldn’t cheat and that their kids would never want them to cheat the process,” said Christine Pluta, a private counselor with Edvice Princeton who has also worked in the admissions offices of the University of Pennsylvania and Barnard College. “I have never before heard a family try to convince me of their own integrity. Singer is part of the conversation.”
Pluta said when she worked at Penn about 20 years ago, a “father offered me a million dollars if his daughter would be admitted. At first I thought he was joking.” She said she made it clear the offer was inappropriate.
Singer cooperated with authorities and pleaded guilty to facilitating more than $25 million in bribes for faked ACT and SAT scores and bogus athletic profiles to schools including the USC,Georgetown andYale University. Parents contributed to Singer’s fake charity, Key Worldwide Foundation, to facilitate bribes to coaches and school officials and some and some took the charitable-donation deduction.
The wealthy parents worked in finance, sports and entertainment and incluibution company in Burlingame, Calif., and the wife of formerSan Francisco 49ers player Lou Palatella, was charged with paying $575,000 in bribes to get their son into USC as a fake “long snapper” football recruit.
Goldman Sachs spokesman Patrick Scanlan said Monday that “we’re continuing to look into the matter.”
Another parent charged in the scandal referenced Kleiner Perkins. In a wiretapped conversation, parent Bruce Isackson worried that the Internal Revenue Service might discover the bogus charity, to which Isackson is accused of paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes to get his daughter into USC as a fake-recruited rower.
Isackson, who was president of real-estate developho had started Inconvenient Youth while in high school. “She got totally engaged in her brand, in her story, in her passion,” he said in the short video, adding that “I had her six years ago as a student” and thanking former Vice President Al Gore for allowing “us” to use his slide show from his 2006 documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth,” that inspired Doerr’s group.
Singer added that getting in to college “has to do with getting involved in your brand.” He highlighted his role in Mary Doerr’s venture, saying that “we wanted to create an organization that would focus on global warming for youth.”
Mary Doerr started Inconvenient Youth in 2008 between her junior and senior years atCastilleja School in Palo Alto, Calif.
John Doerr, whose net worth Forbes puts at $7.5 billion, has been involved in education issues for some time. He is co-founder and lifetime director of the NewS chools Venture Fund, which invests in start-ups aimed at improving public education. He and Anne Doerr donated $50 million in 2015 to Rice University, his alma mater, to finance a leadership training program.
The couple paid about $50,000 bribes to have someone cheat multiple times on standardized tests for their daughters, authorities said.
The Henriquezes were also charged with paying $400,000 to the sham charity run by admissions consultant Rick Singer to get their oldest daughter into Georgetown by falsely portraying her as a star tennis player. Singer in turn paid then-Georgetown tennis coach Gordon Ernst in exchange for labeling her as a recruit, authorities say.
Ernst, who’s accused of getting nearly $3 million in bribes, has pleaded not guilty.
Singer has pleaded guilty to running the sprawling bribery scheme and helped investigators build the case against the parents.
Henriquez’s lawyers said in court documents that his participation in the scheme was “minor and largely passive” as he was busy running his company while his wife “devoted herself to the care and well-being of their children.”
“Mr. Henriquez knew some but not all of the details of the scheme with Singer, played a small role, and to his great regret and shame, did not stop it. He paid Singer’s bills, as he did all the family’s bills,” his lawyers said in a court filing.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Eric Rosen said it “strains credulity” that Henriquez would believe that the $400,000 payment to Singer’s sham charity would support “underfunded college athletic programs (including Georgetown tennis) and programs for disadvantaged youth,” as his attorneys claimed in court documents.
Rosen accused Henriquez of refusing to fully accept responsibility for his actions and attempting to present a “sanitized version of the conduct to the court.”
The Henriquezes are among nearly 30 parents who’ve admitted to charges in the massive case called “Operation Varsity Blues.”
“Full House” star Lori Loughlin and her fashion designer husband, Mossimo Giannulli, are scheduled to be sentenced in August after pleading guilty to paying half a million dollars to get their two daughters into the University of Southern California as fake crew recruits. Loughlin’s plea deal calls for her to serve two months behind bars and Giannulli’s calls for him to serve five months.

San Francisco Mayor Mark Farrell said Monday the team will respond to resident complaints and remove needles and syringes from “hot spots” every day of the week.

San Francisco Forensic Investigator Paul Kangas Keeps The Ruling Elite On Their Toes
Don’t do crime with public money in front of Paul Kangas. This modern Sam Spade will latch onto the case like a pit-bull and never let go. If City Hall, Silicon Valley or the Opera Crowd get into bribery, corruption, sex trafficking and other dirty bits, Paul might end up on their heels.
As the former guard for President Kennedy, Paul Kangas is now a private Investigator in California. His seminal article on the role of George HW Bush in the assassination of JFK was just published on the front page of the Cuban newspaper, Granma. 30 million copies were distributed worldwide. He has taught, and inspired, many contemporary media investigators who have over-turned the entire news industry with the kinds of FBI-class public research that Kangas uses. The many “citizen sleuth’ groups operating around the world were inspired by the early work of Kangas. Paul Kangas has busted up more corruption in San Francisco than the last 4 police bosses in San Francisco. You don’t always know that he did it, but suddenly a package of investigation data shows up at the right reporter’s desk at the right time and that public official is “gone:.

Billionaire Real Estate Mogul David Rockefeller dies at age 101. His San Francisco “Bag Man” James Bronkema is also dead. John Molinari, their Italian “business man” mob-fixer is in his final years.
The end of an era of real estate corruption, bribery, elitist black-listing and crony politics on the West Coast.

Billionaire philanthropist David Rockefeller dies at age 101

The billionaire philanthropist who was the last of his generation in the famously philanthropic Rockefeller family died, Monday, March 20, 2017, according to a family spokesman. (AP Photo/D. Pickoff, File) NEW YORK (AP) — David Rockefeller, the billionaire businessman and philanthropist who was the last in his generation of one of the country’s most famously philanthropic families, died Monday. He was 101. Rockefeller died in his sleep at his home in Pocantico Hills, New York, according to his spokesman, Fraser P. Seitel. He was the grandson of Standard Oil co-founder John D. Rockefeller and the youngest of six children born to John D. Rockefeller Jr. With the passing of his siblings, he became the guardian of his family’s fortune and head of a sprawling network of family interests, both business and philanthropic, that ranged from environmental conservation to the arts. To mark his 100th birthday in 2015, Rockefeller gave 1,000 acres of land next to a national park to the state of Maine. Aspects of the Rockefeller brothers’ upbringing became famous, including the 25-cent allowance, portions of which had to be set aside for charity and savings, and the inculcation that wealth brings great responsibility. Two of his brothers held elected office: Nelson Rockefeller served as the governor of New York, hungered for the White House and briefly served as vice president. Winthrop Rockefeller was a governor of Arkansas. David Rockefeller, however, wielded power and influence without ever seeking public office.
Among his many accomplishments were spurring the project that led to the World Trade Center. And unlike his other brothers, John D. III and Laurance, who shied from the spotlight and were known for philanthropy, David Rockefeller embraced business and traveled and spoke widely as a champion of enlightened capitalism. “American capitalism has brought more benefits to more people than any other system in any part of the world at any time in history,” he said. “The problem is to see that the system is run as efficiently and as honestly as it can be.” Rockefeller graduated from Harvard in 1936 and received a doctorate in economics from the University of Chicago in 1940. He served in the Army during World War II, then began climbing the ranks of management at Chase Bank. That bank merged with The Manhattan Company in 1955 He was named Chase Manhattan’s president in 1961 and chairman and chief executive officer eight years later. He retired in 1981 at age 65 after a 35-year career. In his role of business statesman, Rockefeller preached capitalism at home and favored assisting economies abroad on grounds that bringing prosperity to the Third World would create customers for American products. He parted company with some of his fellow capitalists on income taxes, calling it unseemly to earn $1 million and then find ways to avoid paying taxes on it. He didn’t say how much he paid in taxes and never spoke publicly about his personal worth. In 2015, Forbes magazine estimated his fortune at $3 billion. As one of the Rockefeller grandchildren, David belonged to the last generation in which the inherited family billions were concentrated in a few hands. The next generation, known as “the cousins,” has more people. Rockefeller was estimated to have met more than 200 rulers in more than 100 countries during his lifetime, and often was treated as if he were a visiting head of state. Under Rockefeller, Chase — now JPMorgan Chase & Co. — was the first U.S. bank to open offices in the Soviet Union and China and, in 1974, the first to open an office in Egypt after the Suez crisis of 1956.
In his early travels to South Africa, Rockefeller arranged clandestine meetings with several underground black leaders. “I find it terribly important to get overall impressions beyond those I get from businessmen,” he said.But Rockefeller took a lot of heat for his bank’s substantial dealings with South Africa’s white separatist regime and for helping the deposed, terminally ill Shah of Iran come to New York for medical treatment in 1979, the move that triggered the 13-month U.S. embassy hostage crisis in Tehran. Rockefeller maintained the family’s patronage of the arts, including its long-standing relationship with New York’s Museum of Modern Art, of which his mother had been a fervent patron. His private art collection was once valued at $500 million. The Rockefeller estate overlooking the Hudson River north of New York City is the repository of four generations of family history, including Nelson’s art and sculpture collection. One of the major efforts of Rockefeller’s later years was directed at restoring family influence in the landmark Rockefeller Center, most of which had been sold in the 1980s to Japanese investors. He eventually organized an investor group to buy back 45 percent of the property. His philanthropy and other activities earned him a Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, in 1998. Rockefeller and his wife, the former Margaret McGrath, married in 1940 and had six children — David Jr., Richard, Abby, Neva, Margaret and Eileen. His wife, an active conservationist, died in 1996. James Bronkema was his Bag Man that paid various public officials along with the Coblentz Law firm. For the dirtiest deals, though, John L. Molinari would step in. Molinari uses his sub-gang comprised of: The Amelia Commercial Owners’ Association, John L. Molinari Assc, The Molinari Family Partnership LLC, Twenty Five Fifty Five Larkin, The Rapallo Group, Inc., Golden Van Associates LLC
John Molinari Partners and other fronts.
Molinari is part of the North Beach Italian business men organization. The FBI has been thought to have bugged his Van Ness, Larken Street, Columbus Avenue locations as well as his cars.
In 1987 Mr. Molinari was a 52-year-old insurance and gun-for-hire man who had served on the Board of Supervisors since 1972, including five terms as president. He played a key role in engineering Mrs. Feinstein’s elevation to Mayor in 1978, and in 1982 became a Democrat, essential to advancing in a city that is 77 percent Democratic. He has earned a reputation as a politician who knows his way around City Hall and can bring warring factions to battle. Molinari is said to have lied about which district he actually lived in, on records filed for that election. Roger Boas, Molinari’s friend, was arrested for running a pedophile underage sex ring for the rest of the San Francisco City Hall Elites. Molinari’s daughter was removed from his home, per the now public police report records, to protect her from sexual abuse. She was placed in protective custody in a center on California Street, in San Francisco, where she provided investigators with damaging information about her father.
Molinari’s large crooked nose and squinty deep-set eyes did not help him avoid the “North Beach Mob” assertsions cast by his political adversaries. Warren Hinckle once called him “A sad version of The Godfather…”
Anatomy of A Civic Corruption Case- San Francisco- The Bridge To Sin
THE COLD CASE THAT IS NOW VERY HOT! INVESTIGATORS NOW HAVE THE FINAL PIECES OF THE PUZZLE!Link to story:
See how the Golden Gate Bridge and a little bridge between two buildings at Embarcadero Center connected to an organized crime and child sex abuse ring for billionaires in A billion dollar real estate political kickback scam, by San Francisco “elites”, to create an owned and controlled Senator.
Interesting that one has posted pictures of them-self dancing and hugging very young girls on Facebook, one was arrested and indicted for running an underage prostitution ring for billionaire campaign backers and San Francisco “elites”, One (A senior public official) had their daughter removed from their home by the police because she was sexually abused (Police reports available) and one was charged with hiring underage prostitutes.
You would think it would be hard to be indicted for BOTH running a child prostitution ring for Pacific Heights billionaires AND helping to embezzle government funds for Moscone Convention Center AND Embarcadero Center but one managed to do it all, on behalf of the others.
James Bronkema was known as David Rockefeller’s “Bag Man” on the West Coast. He looked exactly like the greedy little “Monopoly Man” Billionaire on the game-board and even sported the same mustache and vest just to make the point that he was not only corrupt, he was BAD ASS CORRUPT and he would get the Rockefellers on your ass if you messed with him!
When a real estate or political policy action needed to be greased, Bronkema or Coblentz showed up with the cash for the Supervisors, inspectors and public policy-types. Bronkema was one of the creators of “Flower” and ran the cash into John Molinari’s Mayoral campaign. He put his girl-friends in executive city jobs as payoff for services rendered. Their hope was to move Molinari from Mayor, to Senator to Governor and on up… but that didn’t work out……. when the FBI showed up on some doorsteps.
Bronkema ran the Business Bureau, The Golden Gate Bridge, Embarcadero Center and Rockre, a “private business operations group” for the Rockefellers. He funneled kickbacks, crony deals and special favors from San Rafael to Oakland to City Hall.
They got a different party to play Senator and Molinari was forgotten but not forgiven for his false campaign district address, tax form creativity and family police incidents. A bug was placed in Molinari’s Classic Jaguar and feds got quite a bit of dirt on old-school San Francisco corruption off of Molinari’s North Beach idle chatter. Molinari then turned State’s evidence.
Once Molinari ate it in the elections, they plowed all of the cash into Feinstein.
A key associate (Goudie, aligned with Molinari) was a top Presidential appointee and campaign funder who was arrested and indicted for federal funds fraud in the Christopher Columbus Scandal which emulated the Golden Gate Bridge Scandal with the same consultants. (Check out his old Facebook page)
The new Silicon Valley Prostitution cases have opened up the Old San Francisco child prostitution cases, as girls reveal decades of abuse and finally tell reporters what really happened back then. Which Silicon Valley and SF Venture Capitalists, who you see quoted in the news lately, were founders of “Flower” the top secret San Francisco underage sex ring for billionaires , held in the billionaires hotels so surveillance security could be totally controlled, (With SF, NYC and Silicon Valley Branches), which is, apparently, still operating? Why are they so excited about all of the underage girls coming over the border in the Mexican child border crisis? Why are Silicon Valley CEO’s and VC’s so supportive of “child Immigrants”?
Paying a bribe for real estate exclusives was often done with cash and hookers, known as “pink cash” in SF.
Why was NAMBLA allowed to thrive in San Francisco at the time, Including being given San Francisco Public Libraries, On Potrero hill and in other locations, to hold their secret “how to abuse children” meetings? (See FBI reports on NAMBLA)
Which San Francisco billionaire VC, in the news lately for other reasons, has a regular weekly appointment to have six nude girls come over and read him books from his library while he pleasures himself?
Which one is under investigation regarding a murder and an attempted murder?
Which one ordered a “hit” on someone?
Part of Kubrick’s film: “Eyes Wide Shut” was based on “Flower”. The cost for a young virgin started at $50,000.00. Taking her virginity was called: “picking a flower”.
Run all of the names on your database and draw the financial, business and personal connections and see how interesting this case REALLY is!
Who was the bigger real estate guru: Blum, Rockefeller or Shorenstein?
What do Dianne Feinstein, Richard Blum, James Bronkema, Roger Boas, John Molinari and David Rockefeller all have in common? All them reported to WHO?
Nobody can now say they “didn’t know what was going on!” The evidence overtly implicates all of the players.
Was there a different reason, than we were told, that Mayor George Moscone was killed? Dan White said he was “drugged up on Twinkies”, was he drugged up on something else so he could carry out his “kill orders” from on high?
Who went to federal prison and who didn’t?
Who ordered the case shut down, but who kept working on it because they thought there was a major cover-up going on?
Who took the fall while the others kept on keeping on?
Who paid for who’s political campaign..and still does? Who pulls who’s strings?
Who is under 24 hour digital device surveillance by 5 different agencies? (Answer: EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM, THEIR FAMILIES AND ASSOCIATES)
What is a RICO?
What did federal investigators find when they set-up an office in one of the suspects condo buildings across from his office above Chevy’s Restaurant?
How bad is running a child prostitution ring for the San Francisco elite and Silicon Valley founders?
How much, in bribes and corruption, did the exclusive little bridge from one Embarcadero Center to another, over the public road, really cost Boas, Rockefeller, Molinari, Bronkema and Feinstein?
Who is still operating as a front for whom?
Let’s discuss. Send in your links. Watch for the YOUTUBE VIDEO: Anatomy of A Civic Corruption Case and please ask PBS Frontline to pick up the full length version!

The dark politics, corruption and scandal of the administration and governance of the Golden Gate Bridge. What can be done? Let’s explore that question on behalf of all citizens…
Who killed Tommy Walker, a devout Mormon who was to organize a major part of the celebration and who then discovered the corruption in the Bridge District Committee.
Who is Patricia Novick and what is the exact accounting of her pre-contract meetings as the contractor AND the girlfriend of the Bridge Director?
TOXIC LEAD is being used on the bridge and it is poisoning tourists, neighbors and bridge workers. Touch the bridge or breath while you are on it and you could die or be sickened for life: see:
Bridge Directors for over a decade have gotten kickbacks from paint suppliers for paint used on the bridge. James and John, the former directors, know what we mean
The Bridge Directors and all of the Presidio Events marketing staff were informed of all of the facts on this site BEFORE they started marketing to sponsors for money yet they hid these facts from sponsors in their marketing. That is fraud.
Why were no key celebration contracts put through the bid process and only rewarded to friends of the Directors?
Which same persons were involved in both the 50th & 75th events and have the same kickback and favors deals?
Why was the former Bridge Director told to permanently remove himself from politics forever? Hear reporters reviews of his recovered police reporter for child abuse.

San Francisco Tech Executives And City Hall Directors Play A Dangerous Game With Trophy Wives and Prostitutes
By Lucy Carl
Driven by a psychopathic need to employ sex for power instead of passion, executives from SalesForce, Twitter, Google, Facebook and other famous brands, live a life of debauchery few normal people can comprehend.
Almost every $200K/year executive has both a “trophy” wife and a bevy of prostitutes on call. Most of them get the wives and the hookers from many of the same resources. Most of the prostitutes know about the trophy wives, and vice versa, because it is part of “The Deal”.
The San Francisco Zoo fundraising parties, The “House Parties” (on Broadway, west of Divisadaro in the tony Pacific Heights neighborhood), San Francisco Symphony parties and Opening Nights, The Red and White Ball Events, The Guardsman parties, The Spinster Events, The Rosewood Hotel “tech events” and a horde of other elitist find-some-ass events deliver the chicks to the Chads.
A Trophy Wife is a surgically enhanced woman who dresses like a Playboy model, wears porno makeup and has a Jessica Rabbit type of cartoonish facial structure. Sheappearances.
At one of these events a young, attractive woman will approach a recently divorced tech executive and advise him that she understands “the Deal”. She uses code words and alluded to references but the intent is clear. She is A trophy wife is aware that she must accept the fact that the man is rich and can get any woman and there is a 3000 to 1 ratio of hot girls to rich men. If she wants the cash she must accept the non-monthe prostitutes live in apartments in Marin County and Palo Alto. Many of the prostitutes are from overseas and are known as “Instagram Girls” because the advertise on Instagram and as “models”. Hundreds of these internet hookers are flown into San Francisco, Oakland and San ech executives account for as much bay area sex trafficking, in dollar volume, as the San Francisco Chinatown gangs. A San Francisco tech prostitute goes for $1000.00 to $10000.00 per night while a Chinatown sex worker is only $300.00 per session.
There are over 200 “Personal Services” providers for tech executives who pitch “managing engagement schedules” for CEO’s. They are pimps who have networked lists of hookers. They are usually women in the PR business who once were trophy wives, or prostitutes, themselves when they were younger. Most tech executives will eventually receive an offer from a “Social Events Manager”, looking to hook them up.
Trophy Wives and prostitute offerings can be found jogging on San Francisco’s Marina Green, sitting overtly in outdoor cafe’s on Chestnut Street and Union Street in the Marina district and at every “tech event”. They dress in fluorescent Spandex with bare midriff tops and painted on Spandex leggings shoved as far up their butt-crack as biology will allow. The regulars, though, are at the elite events and fund-raisers.
The websites BACKPAGE.COM, SE-class hookers and wannabe trophy wife candidates. The key to confirming them, in person, or on is the use of code words like “generous gentlemen”, “appreciates a special women”, “knows how to take care of..” , “diamonds..” and other subliminal references.
The game can go south, though. Google’s, Tesla Investments and other top executives have been killed by their hookers. Over 100 top tech execs are now in the news for their over-the-top sex scandals. A Trophy Wife or a Hooker can blackmail the tech executives at any moment; non-disclosure agreements be damned. Hundreds of babies are now being paid for by hundreds of tech executives along with hush-money to keep the names of those babies fathers quiet.
Yes, San Francisco truly is the modern version of Sodom and Gomorrah.

San Francisco’s Housing and Homeless Crises at “Boiling Point”Because Of Google-Twitter-Facebook Take-over of City Politicians
Written by James Murphy
San Francisco is a city of contrasts. It boasts glorious views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the Pacific Ocean, and it also offers the stench and disgriking poverty, with tech billionaires and Silicon Valley companies existing alongside an aggressive panhandling homeless population. While a city full of investors waits nervously on a new wave of initial public hoolchildren — to see.
SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA’S MEASURE 3 SEEKS TO CREATE “RAPE” BRIDGE TOOLS IN ORDER TO PUT CRONY CASH IN THE POCKETS OF JERRY BROWN’S FRIENDS
– The Entire Measure 3 Plan Is A Scam To Help Google and Crony Insiders!
Posted by: Zelda Bronstein – On the June 5 ballot, Regional Measure 3 asks voters in nine Bay Area counties to approve a $3 increase in tolls on all the region’s bridges but the Golden Gate “to reduce auto and truck traffic, relieve crowding on BART, unclog freeway bottlenecks and improve bus, ferry, BART and commuter rail service.” Its supporters, who include the Bay Area Council, the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, SPUR, Facebook, and YIMBY Action, call it “a bold, coordinated, region-wide traffic relief plan.”
RM3 is bold all right: it’s an audacious con that dedicates $4.5 billion to a hodgepodge of disconnected projects that will bring the Bay Area little traffic relief.

The San Francisco ghosts in Kamala Harris past show that she knows how to F*ck
by Tiana Lowe
Few outside of California know or care who Willie Brown is. But that may be about to change. Brown spent around a quarter of a century as de facto royalty in California, first serving more than three decades as a member of the California Assembly (15 years as its speaker), and then eight years as mayor of San Francisco. He also once carried out an open extramarital affair with a young prosecutor named Kamala Harris, currently a U.S. senator and leading contender for the Democratic presidential nomination. Now, we’re far beyond the point that a personal past like that disqualifies a candidate. Harris, after all, is vying to challenge a thrice-married man who once graced the cover of Playboy and publicized his infidelity on the cover of the New York Post. Candidates’ personal lives no longer warrant deep investigation, unless they tell us something about their professional and political lives.
Unfortunately for Harris, the Willie Brown story is not strictly personal. It’s also professional.
When Harris was barely 30, she began dating Brown, then in his 60s and speaker of the California Assembly. To be clear, an ambitious woman dating a powerful man is not alone any cause for concern. Strong women are attracted to success, and a 30-year-old assistant district attorney is hardly, say, a 21-year-old intern. But the story doesn’t end there.
For one thing, Brown was married at the time. He wound up dumping Harris and returning to his wife as he became mayor. (Again, in the era of President Trump, few will clutch their pearls over this.)
More questionable than the romance is the relationship’s apparent effect on her finances and her career. Brown, according to contemporary news accounts, gifted his then-girlfriend two government jobs with ample salaries — while she was just getting her start as an assistant DA.
As the San Francisco Weekly reported in 2003: Aside from handing her an expensive BMW, Brown appointed her to two patronage positions in state government that paid handsomely — more than $400,000 over five years. In 1994, she took a six-month leave of absence from her Alameda County job to join the Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board. Brown then appointed her to the California Medical Assistance Commission, where she served until 1998, attending two meetings a month for a $99,000 annual salary. (That’s more than $150,000 in current dollars.) Even after they broke up, Brown, a San Francisco kingmaker, continued to support Harris’ career, boosting her district attorney run and years later calling on Antonio Villaraigosa to stay out of the Senate race, thus clearing the field for Harris. Just two years into her tenure as senator, Harris now wants to reach the White House.
The facts are messy, but most in California politics are. If she earned few hundred thousand dollars in taxpayer-funded patronage thanks to a personal relationship, that undermines some of her good-government cred. Or at least it requires her to explain how she’s changed. Barack Obama wisely fessed up about his drug usage long before he was a presidential candidate, and he alluded to his personal growth and past mistakes enough that it created a satisfying narrative, one that couldn’t be used against him. Donald Trump was a womanizer and a brash braggart, but that was his entire brand for more than two decades. The first real instance where his past came to haunt him was when he seemed to confess to sexual battery on the now-infamous Access Hollywood tape. The allegations of consensual affairs never really mattered.
Harris doesn’t talk about Brown. She says that it’s not relevant. But part of her prosecutorial persona is a posture of toughness on corruption. But the Willie Brown story, with those big paychecks, gives off at least a whiff of cronyism. She’s got to address the charge she was profiting personally off connections to power — at least if she wants us to believe she actually stands for the people.
Was San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee Poisoned, Using Untraceable Spy Technology, Because of His Immigration Scheme?

THE DNC’S SAN FRANCISCO SEX CULT OFFERS CLITORAL TOUCHING FOR $150.00
We Went UnderCover With An IPhone In San Francisco And Marin County – The Dark Side of the Orgasmic Meditation Company
Almost every member is a registered Domocrat and some are highly placed in the DNC. OneTaste is pushing its sexuality wellness education toward the mainstream. Some former members say it pushed them into sexual servitude and five-figure debts.
By Ellen Huet
When Michal got married in August 2015, her family and longtime friends didn’t attend. The woman who walked her down the aisle, the dozens of beaming onlookers, her soon-to-be husband—all were people she’d met in the preceding 10 months. Wearing a loose, casual dress borrowed from one of her new friends, Michal spent the ceremony in a daze.
She knew she didn’t want to get married like this, in the living room of a rented San Francisco house without her family’s support, yet she felt compelled to do it. That uneasy feeling could apply to most of her experiences in OneTaste.
OneTaste is a sexuality-focused wellness education company based in the Bay Area. It’s best known for classes on “orgasmic meditation,” a trademarked procedure that typically involves a man using a gloved, lubricated fingertip to stroke a woman’s clitoris for 15 minutes. For Michal, like those at her wedding, OneTaste was much more than a series of workshops. It was a company that had, in less than a year, gained sway over every aspect of her life.

Warren Hinckle describes the corruption he witnessed inside San Francisco City Hall!
The following is an excerpt from the new book: Ransoming Pagan Babies: The Selected Writings of Warren Hinckle by Heyday Books. We are proud to present the work of Warren Hinckle, one of San Francisco’s most legendary and larger-than-life personalities. For decades, Warren Hinckle provided unique insight into San Francisco’s turbulent political scene and changed the face of American journalism.
On the afternoon of November 6, 1987, the Friday after the election, a crisp and cool San Francisco day without a sunbeam of hope piercing the dark electoral cloud gathered over his head, Supervisor John Molinari was secluded in his second floor City Hall office, receiving no visitors but the intimate and the anointed. Molinari’s new campaign manager, Jack Davis, knocked on the door and went in without waiting, as was his custom. He stopped short at the scene inside. John Molinari was seated behind his desk in what seemed to be a state of ayerful entreaty. The black pastor gave Davis the annoyed glance of one who is interrupted during a sacramental process. Molinari waved the campaign manager off. Davis closed the door softly. The moment had the sanctity of the confessional. Indeed, it was a bizarre religious tableau of the type not seen in American politics since the conniving Kissinger knelt with the besotted Nixon in the bunker hours of Watergate.
The Reverend Williams, playing the rat to Molinari’s mole—even his friends call Molinari the “Mole”—told him that he was jumping ship to join Art Agnos, who had just come within a few thousand votes of burying the Mole, the former front-runner, in his own campaign mistakes. And Williams had the chutzpah to urge the Mole to quit the race while Agnos was soaring ahead. Molinari, who had just slam-dunked $1.4 million of his friends’ money down the political sewer, was stupefied; the smiling clergyman wanted to turn the election into a coronation. Williams is the boss of Glide Memorial United Methodist Church, the Notre Dame of the Tenderloin. He is also one of the face cards of San Francisco politics.
A savvy ecclesiastic who receives $800,000 a year from the city to feed the hungry in his Tenderloin tabernacle, Williams was a premature supporter of Molinari. That was back in the good old days when Jack took an early lead in the polls after raising over a million dollars from garbagemen (the supervisor’s grandfather was a pioneer San Francisco scavenger), real estate developers and others doing business with the city and county of San Francisco. When Molinari came in a distant second in the November 3 primary, Williams was quick to apprehend an apparent change in divine will; God, after all, is on the side of the winners. The mercurial minister was the first of many longtime Molinari supporters to jump ship, citing what he saw as the candidate’s move to the right; many of the others deserting were men of capital who simply could not afford to back a loser.
The shock effect of Agnos’s dramatic showing against the previously heavily favored Molinari affected many in the city, not the least Agnos himself. “Feinstein is going to go to pieces,” he said. “She won’t be able to handle re-entering ordinary life without the policemen and the limos on hand. You can’t imagine the incredible power it gives you being mayor but you’ve got to be able to handle the power. I’m tough. I’ll be able to handle it. I’ll stand on the steps of City Hall like Feinstein never did and let the ordinary people come up to me and ask me questions, call me an ass—-. The power won’t get to me.” Agnos told me that the night Williams did his routine in Molinari’s office. Agnos seemed adrenalated and his eyes were glistening with the otherworldly look of a messiah. He was in the state of political rapture that once moved his fellow Democrat Lyndon Johnson, high from peacemaking, to boast, “I’ve got doves coming out my armpits.”
I know these things because I was a candidate for mayor; not a journalistic observer, but a participant. I crossed the line dividing citizen and politician and entered the twisted world of San Francisco electoral politics, analogous in every way to the Twilight Zone. It is a world closer to the double dealing of the Middle East than to the values of middle America—a world where money is regent and the commitments that count are the ones that ring the cash register. And yet it’s an amazingly personal world where the loyalties and hatreds that shape the campaign come from real, or imagined, hurts of years past. Just say no, I reply, when people ask me why anyone would run for mayor.
My decision to run had a lot to do with being born and raised in this town and thinking that the vision of the old city was being dirtied and chiseled by the politicians. There was a pervasive feeling, shared by many, that San Francisco deserved better than it was being offered in this election, or, perversely, that it was getting just what it deserved. I thought the city was getting short-sheeted, and that in the last free-for-all election we will see in many a year, some idiot had better jump in there and give the politicians what for. As it turned out, I was that idiot.
Yet this mayoral race, for all of its nightmarish big-bucks elements, has brought a few real changes. Who would have imagined a year ago that the election of 1987 would see:
The nationally-hyped Feinstein regnant go out with a whimper, the city busted financially and Madame Mayor unable to deliver for either Molinari or the Giants stadium, her two final lost causes.
Herb Caen losing it by putting his healthy cynicism aside and his 50 years of power on the line for a dice-playing buddy named Jack “Millionari” Molinari. Meantime, the young columnist for the afternoon paper went for Agnos, making Mr. San Francisco look like Mr. Milpitas.
Political control of San Francisco shifting from the Feinstein/Molinari lazy bucks, let-’em-build-skyrises clique to the Sacramento moneybags machine headed by Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, the new power behind the Agnos throne.
The entrance fee for any serious run for mayor of San Francisco becoming a cool million bucks.
Running for mayor of San Francisco was an exhilarating, exhausting, dreadful, extremely informative and sometimes hilarious experience. At a party thrown by a left-wing Valencia Street bookstore, a worker at McAuley Neuropsychiatric Institute came up to me and said he had great news. He had polled six people at the hospital and all six had said they were going to vote for me as the candidate who cared most for the poor and the homeless. That was encouraging, I said. Were these six of his co-workers? No, he said, crestfallen, they were inmates.
When you don’t have a million bucks like your rivals, you have to think up gimmicks to draw attention to your candidacy. That’s why we developed the official “Hinckle for Mayor” condoms. They were produced in faraway Thailand and packaged in Tempe, Arizona (sorry, no union bug), in covers cleverly resembling traditional campaign matchbooks. We gave away thousands for educational purposes here in the AIDS capital of the country.
Good news travels. During a stuffy black-tie fundraiser at the Players Club in New York, I gave one of the campaign matchbook/condoms to Tom Wolfe, the writer. Tom used to live in San Francisco and thought this great sport. He bounded across the room to former New York Mayor John Lindsay and handed him the little package, saying this was from his candidate for mayor. Lindsay began to slip it politely into his pocket, as one would with matches. Wolfe said, “Wait a minute, Your Honor, these aren’t regular matches, these are from San Francisco.” Lindsay looked down and opened the cover. His tanned chin dropped in horror.

If You’re Going To San Francisco…Think Again
By Brian C. Joondeph
A few decades ago, Scott McKenzie sang one of the classic hippie anthems, “San Francisco,” back in 1967. It was sung during the heyday of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Flower power was the rage. Peace, love, and understanding were the mantras of the day, in response to the Viet Nam War and the oppression of The Man.
McKenzie sang, “If you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.” Back then, the flowers were for decoration, to match the tie-dyed clothing and sandals.
Flash forward fifty years, and residents of San Francisco may need to wear flowers, not only in their hair, but also covering their entire bodies. Not for decoration, however, but to mask the odor of a new feature of the streets of San Francisco. Excrement.
And it’s been making the national news, a veritable emblem of what the city has become. The newly inaugurated San Francisco mayor is London Breed, who, as an aside, has a perfect 1960s name. Interviewed after her inauguration, the Daily Caller noted that she observed that the streets of her city “are flooded with the excrement of the homeless.”
In other words, San Francisco has become Poop City.
Apparently this is not a new problem. The famous chronicler of the city, San Francisco Chronicle columnist Herb Caen, occasionally would use the phrase in his daily screeds during the 1980s and 1990s, but it’s far worse now. As the Daily Caller had the new mayor noting: “There is more feces on the sidewalks than I’ve ever seen growing up here.” And not just poop. Added to the mix is a “dangerous mix of drug needles, garbage, and feces.”
Lovely. In 1967, “If you’re going to San Francisco, you’re gonna meet some gentle people there.” Now you will meet a garbage dump mixed with a cesspool.
San Francisco has about 7,500 homeless individuals and is spending $280 million on homeless services for them. Some simple math reveals that the city could give each homeless resident just over $37,000 per year, a figure well above the minimum wage in most other places, and call it a day.
If you take out the salaries of all the bureaucrats administering these “homeless services,” there would likely be more than $100,000 available for each homeless person. But you know that won’t happen in a Democrat-run city, an administrative state, like San Francisco.
How can the city discourage the homeless from using the sidewalks as their toilets? In their minds, spend more money. The mayor assured her fellow progressives: “Harsher penalties for offenders are not on the table.” Instead the typical liberal solution, as the mayor promised, came to: “I work hard to make sure your programs are funded.” I wonder if we’ll see toilet paper dispensers popping up on the sidewalks?
This situation might seem to be a cross between funny and absurd, but it has economic consequences far beyond the necessary clean-up. Who might not be going to San Francisco because of the city’s pungent new attractions?
Start with conventions? San Francisco has always been a popular convention destination due to its fairly pleasant weather, its tourist attractions, its world-class restaurants, and of course, the cable cars. But in its current state, the bloom is off the San Francisco rose.
A major medical association recently cancelled its annual meeting which would have brought 15,000 attendees and $40 million to the San Francisco economy,according to the SF Chronicle. This, after many years of coming to the city. Think of that. A group of doctors, quite familiar with feces, needles, and the downtrodden, have said “enough.”
These are things doctors can see in the medical ward and prefer to avoid when away from work, often with family, at a medical conference. It’s likely that other trade groups and industries will stay away from San Francisco as well.
Can you blame them? How many U.S. cities provide visitors with a public defecation map to help tourists steer clear of piles of poop littering the city’s sidewalks? Or which other city can boast of the 20-pound bag of poop found a few weeks ago on a city sidewalk?
How did things get this bad for the city that Tony Bennett left his heart in? When Tony recorded that song in the 1950s, San Francisco had a Republican mayor. Their last Republican mayor, George Christopher, left office in 1964, when the Beatles arrived in America. Since then, it’s been a hard day’s night for San Francisco, with nearly sixty years’ worth of Democrats running the show.
At a national level, San Francisco is represented by House minority leader Nancy Pelosi, Senator Dianne Feinstein, and Senator Kamala Harris, all of whom are hard-core liberals. I am quite confident that there are no piles of poop on the sidewalks in front of their homes.
San Francisco is just another of many U.S. cities run by Democrats, and into the ground. Even liberal film maker Michael Moore observed about his home city in Michigan: “Flint has voted for Dems for 84 straight yrs. What did it get us?”
San Francisco is left with virtue-signaling in the name of compassion, tolerance and all the other liberal claptrap in a bid to try to hide third world conditions on city streets. Aside from visitors choosing to go anywhere but San Francisco, what about the residents living in such conditions?
Warm summer temperatures and open sewers become a microbiology laboratory. Toss in a bunch of undernourished and unhealthy homeless persons, sharing hypodermic needles, and pestilence follows. Such a shame for a once-magnificent city.
Rather than cleaning up its mess, San Francisco has just this week banned plastic straws. Poop and hypodermic syringes littering the sidewalks is just fine, but watch out for those nasty little plastic straws.
Once upon a time Scott McKenzie’s words rang true, “For those who come to San Francisco, summertime will be a love-in there.” Now it’s simply America’s version of a s***hole.

The Bad Decision-Making Of The Drug Fried Minds Of The People That Live In San Francisco
By Karma Harris
The social echo-chamber is a terrible thing. Like drones, or robots or sheep, the mindless clones in San Francisco seem to be unable to see that they, in their cult-like quest for “individuality” are doing the exact same idiotic thing that every other San Franciscan is doing:
– Getting a giant eagle, crown or flower tattoo on their chest above their boobs
– Wearing a Fedora hat
– Growing a handle-bar mustache or stupid-looking Amish beard
– Making their clothes look like they accidentally exposed their look-at-me desperation tattoo
– Taking pictures of themselves making idiotic duck lips
– Wearing a plaid shke-up
– Thinking that heroin makes you look cool
– Study an “Art Career” at a commercial “Institute” your rich sucker parents pay you to smoke pe you want to be gay and “with it”
– Using the phrase “sociability nexus” or any other Tech BS-speak
– Worshiping Google
– Wearing all black at night because nobody else thought of that
– Thinking that your “pot cafe” idea is original, unique and will last more than 3 months
– Paying tens times more for food because it has tofu hidden in it
– Blindly mouthing any party line pretext that Nancy Pelosi tells them to
– Getting scabies every weekend at the 1050 Folsom night-club
– Tweeting as if anything you do matters to anybody
– Hiding your mental illness by saying and dressing “gender fluid”-like
– Getting a pack of tattoos that proudly announce your bad decision making
– Getting a pack of tattoos that proudly announce you are a slut
– Owning a fluorescent colored bicycle
– Creating a start-up that sells nothing that anybody actually needs or wants but has an ironic name
– Talking about “Burning Man” with any other sense than shame
– Going to a “TED Conference” without realizing you are a douche bag
– Using to get free dinners
– Having no ability whatsoever to consider the consequences of your actions
– Not seeing that the SF Board of Supes are all elitist stock market inside traders abusing the City
– Having six room-mates
– Pooping in the street because you embrace the “multi-cultural experience”
– Having no clue how the real world works
– Being a woman at Stanford University without knowing the Frats just see you as a baby oven
– Being a white yuppie guy with a Chinese girlfriend who doesn’t realize what the real deal is
– Not knowing why you feel you NEED to go to Starbucks

These are the people that the tech oligarchs, The White House and U.S. Senators hire to end your life if you report their crimes. It should be against the law for these cyber assassination kill services to even exist, but Congress won't outlaw them because Senators use them every day. If they can do the things they do, to you, then it must be legal to do the same things back to them. While they spend millions of dollars and get paid millions of dollars to destroy you, the average person only has a fraction of that money, if any at all, to fight back with. Since they are hired to kill you, you have every right to kill them...as long as you do it legally and in the most creative and insidious ways possible. In payback for accepting compensation for trying to destroy you and your family, they must be hunted and tracked for the rest of their lives! Criminal referrals and RICO charges appear to have been filed against every party on this list:

On the first of each month I’m going to lay out our goals for the month, and then at the end of each month I’m going to recap our income and see if we met our goals. Since my husband and I are both self-employed, our income will fluctuate and it will be interesting to see our income grow (hopefully!) over the months/years. I also plan on talking a lot about our investing strategies and what we’re doing to generate a passive income. Anyways, on to the goals…
OCTOBER GOALS
Sarah income: $1700
Editing $800
Writing $900
Get one financial staff / guest posting job, paid or unpaid
John income: $3000 (first official month as a business owner — not bad!! Hope we hit this!!)
Get more organized with couponing
Set up IRA’s
John rollover: $7,990
Sarah rollover: $1,750
Get Synchrony savings account finalized. We are putting $20,000 into a high-yield savings account with Synchrony. More on this later…but why earn .05% interest when you can earn close to 1%?
Wake up earlier. While this isn’t specifically related to finance, it will help us reach our goals. With two little ones who still wake frequently throughout the night, it is H.A.R.D. to wake up before them. Since our move involved a 3-hour time change, the girls have been sleeping in until about 8:30 every morning. While I’m thankful for this extra sleep, I know I could accomplish so much more throughout the day if I committed to waking up at 6:30 or earlier.
Research more on investing. John and I are relatively new to investing other than having our old company 401(k) accounts. We hope to grow our investments immensely over the years – getting involved in everything from SEP IRAs to real estate.
Read one actual book. I am a knowledge-junkie by nature, but when it comes to reading an actual book…Well, I can’t even remember the last time I completed one. I checked out two from the library today and am hoping to read both of them…but my goal is just to complete one.
Go to Asheville, NC / Blue Ridge Parkway. Another personal goal, but now that we live on the east coast we need to start exploring! Blue Ridge Parkway is ranked one of America’s Most Scenic Drives, especially during the fall. Leaves change color mid-end October and you can bet I will be experiencing this!!
What are your goals for October, finance or otherwise?
/ Filed In: Goals
Tagged: income, monthly goals, self employment
Hello, October
THAT is why we moved to North Carolina!! This state is absolutely breathtaking and I am thrilled that we get to raise our family here and call this place our home.
/ Filed In: Uncategorized
How to move across the country on a budget
This past summer, John and I moved from AZ to NC with a two-year-old, a one-year-old and two dogs. Just thinking about that makes me cringe!
Why did we move? Because we wanted to. I work from home and John works in construction. We didn’t get transferred, we don’t have family out here and, in fact, John had never even been to NC before and I had only been once (and to a different city than we live, no less). Simply put, we’re here because we want to be!
Since we didn’t have a job to come to, we knew we needed to save every penny we could during the move.
We got rid of a lot of our stuff
For two months, whenever I had time, I would go through closets, cabinets and drawers and get rid of what wasn’t a necessity. I cleaned out my closet three separate times and donated roughly 12 full-size bags of clothes and shoes. We got rid of some of my daughters toys, kitchen gadgets, a couch, a dining room table, a grill, miscellaneous pieces of furniture, tools and more. If it wasn’t a necessity or something one of us treasured, it got donated or sold.
*As a side note, I can’t tell you how good it feels to downsize and get rid of clutter! With less stuff comes less stress, less to clean, less to keep up and less to worry about!
We rented a 6 x 12 U-Haul trailer
We packed our entire 3 bedroom + loft house into a 6 x 12 trailer attached to the back of our SUV. That’s how much we downsized!! One thing I refused to part with was our couch that we bought in July 2013. We paid $1800 for it and there was no way I was going to sell it for not even half that. The couch, by the way, is MASSIVE. It easily took up half of the trailer.
We also took a fake fireplace we had purchased the previous Christmas, our girls cribs and mattresses, our mattress (but not the box spring), some of John’s work tools, a few boxes of sentimentals, one box of kitchen items, half a box of bathroom items, clothing and some artwork.
Cost of the U-Haul: $550
We packed ourselves
No one likes to pack and load boxes into a trailer, but if you can physically do it yourself, I highly recommend going that route. I got quotes from movers and it easily would have been $8K to have all of our belongings packed up and moved across the country. Instead, John and I packed everything up ourselves. It took a day and a half and we did it while watching our girls in the 110 degree weather!
We drove one car
Part of why we downsized so much is we didn’t want to rent a full-size U-Haul moving truck. Those cost way more than the trailers plus we would have had to pay for gas for our SUV and the moving truck. Not to mention, we had two babies and two dogs with us, so it just made sense for all of us to be in one vehicle.
Total spent in gas: $650
We stayed in La Quinta’s
La Quinta’s are pet-friendly and don’t charge extra. Our trip was five days, four nights so we stayed at four different La Quinta’s across the country (Albuquerque, Oklahoma City, Memphis and Knoxville). We booked a two-room suite each time to allow for plenty of space for all of us. Prices ranged from $120/night to $160/night.
Total spent on hotels: $550
TOTAL: $1750 plus food to move a family of four across the country!
You really can’t beat that!
Readers: Have you ever moved across the country? What advice would you have for others?

Where we started: Income breakdown 9/2014
This is a personal finance blog so I plan on being extremely transparent with our finances, goals and how we’re going to achieve financial freedom. After all, if I don’t include “the numbers,” how are people supposed to know how we’re doing this??!
John and I both work for ourselves. It wasn’t always this way, though. After graduating college, I had a few finance-related jobs (mortgage industry, sales and a university) but didn’t really love any of them. They all involved cold-calling, sitting behind a desk for 8+ hours a day and didn’t provide much room for advancement.
After getting pregnant, John and I decided I would stay home to take care of our baby. Being a stay-at-home mom has always been a dream of mine, and I was super thankful I would be able to do it. Before having our daughter, I knew I wanted to try and get into freelance writing. Stay home with my baby and bring in an income? Yes, please!
So I did just that. I got lucky and a close friend of mine got me a small freelance job at her company. From there, my career has grown leaps and bounds and I hope to only grow even more.
John is a painting, drywall repair and handyman extraordinaire. He worked for himself for a while, but after we had our daughter he decided to work for a company. While he learned so much on the job, he knew eventually he was going to work for himself again. Let’s face it – there’s nothing better than setting your own hours and being in control of your income.
We had our second daughter and moved across the country from AZ to NC when they were 2 and 1 (that’s a whole other story, tho!). After being here a month, John decided to start his own company – Brookstone Painting and Residential Services – and I couldn’t be more proud! We’re now both working for ourselves and have our financial future in our own hands.
Breakdown of our income 9/2014
We sold our house in the summer of 2014 and profited a nice $46K. Between moving expenses, buying a new truck for John and getting ourselves afloat for the first month, we spent around $10K (I’ll do a specific moving cost breakdown in another post).
Sarah’s Income 9/2014
Freelance writing $650
Freelance editing $800
John’s Income 9/2014
Job that didn’t work out $360
First job self-employed $75
Total for 9/2014: $1,885
As you can see, we are not rich by any stretch of the imagination!! Though, John’s income will hopefully be producing 10x’s this amount within a month or so. We are also getting some of our investment accounts squared away, which I’ll go into detail later, as well.
Prior to our move, we were making roughly $4K a month after taxes. Our goal is to be back up to that number in October and go up from there.

It is true that in the last analysis only those suffering from this disease can understand that no amount of willpower, hygene, psychotherapy will erase was is essentially a biological illness.
Granted that there may be triggers in some conditions, specially the anxiety disorders that can be modified. The underlying illness remains.
I think this is baffling to the "normals" because they have emotions like ours but through the use of behavioral, and psychological tools or sometimes even conditioning, their emotions do not get completely out of control.
Or maybe even that is biological. Maybe normals are like cats, they have a righting instinct that we lack. Their brains "regulate" back to some stasis that is beyond us.
> Kind of what I was trying to say, only more considered, more grounded in fact & certainly less 'ranty'. I omitted to say that I do accept the concept of heterogeneity. However, & I'm guessing here, most of the babble participants fall more on the 'biological' side of the spectrum & so I can't see the purpose of Cam's remarks other than to provoke.
>
> Reading Cam's remarks was kinda like finding out yr wife of 10 yrs has been cheating on you all this time. Altruistic chap, good psychopharmacologist, & his presence used to define this board, but his take on the origins & cure for depression....well, sad to say, the guy loses pretty much all credibility in my eyes. I realise that Cam's something of a sacred cow rnd here so I'll butt out. J.
>
> > > Clearly, there are biological differences here between the healthy versus the pathological brain. These changes cannot be not reversed, despite a successful resolution of psychological issues, had there been any before the onset of illness.

10 Defensive Reactions to White Privilege That Make No Damn Sense – But Are Super Common
January 12, 2016 / Maisha Z. Johnson

I know it probably makes me a weirdo to want to talk about white privilege so much, but I actually enjoy conversations on this topic – even with people who disagree with me.
Sure, these conversations can get heated, uncomfortable, and downright aggravating. But they’re also necessary in order for white folks and people of color to understand each other’s experiences.
So let’s do this – let’s talk the gritty details of what racism does to people’s lives, be honest about the biases and shame we’ve internalized, face the uncomfortable truth about living in a society dominated by white supremacy.
But if, at any point, you’re tempted to oversimplify these complex issues and just be defensive – then let’s not. I’ve lost patience for those defensive reactions that just try to deny the impact of white privilege.
They have nothing to do with thinking critically about the issues or trying to understand each other’s experiences – and they make no damn sense.
And unfortunately, I’ve got way too many examples to choose from, so here’s one to make my point more clear.
I was talking with friend about whether or not he’s benefited from white privilege. I’ve known him for years, so I understood his perspective – he grew up in a low-income household with constant financial worries, and he couldn’t grasp how he could possibly be privileged in one way and struggling in another.
It was a hard, but productive exchange. I sympathized with his feeling that his struggles were invisible. He listened to how my identity relates – I’m marginalized as a queer Black woman, but I have able-bodied and cisgender privilege. We were reaching a deeper understanding of the complexity of these issues.
Until his roommate joined us. This guy had an argument I’ve heard many times before.
“We have a Black president!” he declared, as if that definitive statement meant we should throw the whole idea of white privilege out the window.
He saw Barack Obama as an exception to the rule – one Black man among the 43 white ones who’d gotten the most powerful position in the country. This, he believed, proved that Black folks saying racism is a problem are just complaining about nothing.
The conversation shut down at that point. We went from sharing our experiences, trying to understand each other, and engaging deeply with the issues to arguing about whether or not Black folks should just quit complaining and be more like the president.
It made no damn sense.
I know white privilege can be hard to grasp.
I know being white doesn’t mean you’ve had it easy. I get that you, too, have experienced oppression through classism, homophobia, ableism, or any number of forces.
And because of this, I know that my perspective on white privilege might be a difficult one to understand, and that conversations about the topic can be uncomfortable and distressing.
But I want us to actually be able to have those conversations – to honor the complexities of our truths without nonsensical, defensive reactions getting in the way.
Here are some of the reactions I hear all the time in conversations on white privilege. Let’s unpack them so we can move on to engaging more deeply with issues about race.
1. ‘You’re the Real Racist for Talking About Race’
Ah, the old “whoever smelt it, dealt it” approach to race. Like the childhood game of figuring out who farted, this reaction avoids blame, pointing the finger back at me.
It’s not a very accurate fart detection system, but I don’t want embarrassed eight-year-olds to come after me, so I’ll stick to addressing how it applies to race.
I know exactly when I reached my breaking point with this argument: After Dylann Roof murdered nine Black people at a church in Charleston, South Carolina.
This man had only one goal in mind – to kill Black people. He spoke of wanting to “start a race war,” followed white supremacist groups, believed racist propaganda saying Black people are dangerous and inferior to white people.
There is no question that this act of terrorism was about race.
And still, many people focused on Roof’s mental health, rather than his racism. Comment after comment on articles with connections to racism said things like “Why are you making this about race? You’re the real race-baiters!”
Let’s get this straight.
We have Group A: People like Dylann Roof, violent racists who fantasize about and commit violence against people of color.
We have Group B: People who don’t believe they hold racist views, but who are complicit in the system of white supremacy because they don’t do anything to stop it.
But instead of those two groups, you want to blame Group C, the people who are naming what’s happening and trying to put a stop to it, for causing racism?
The blame just doesn’t stick to the people working to solve the problem – that would be like blaming your mechanic for the car problems they’re trying to fix.
Actually, it’s way worse – because you’re saying people of color who are fed up with, and terrorized by, racism should just shut up and deal with it or they’re the ones to blame.
That’s fucked up.
It may be hard, but come on – as adults, we should be able to own up to what we’ve done, whether it’s passing gas or laughing at a racist joke. Taking responsibility and making change is going to take some deeper engagement than “whoever smelt it, dealt it.”
2. ‘Just Don’t Talk About Racism and It’ll Go Away’
This is the idea that we anti-racists are missing the key to solving racism: Just stop talking about it.
I’ve got lots of questions for people who say this. One question is: Have you ever tried to solve a problem by pretending it didn’t exist? How did that work out for you?
Hopefully, this isn’t your approach to fixing a leaky roof, changing a flat tire, or working out relationship problems, because I can promise you that this strategy doesn’t work – and it doesn’t solve racism either.
For one thing, this doesn’t give anti-racist activists nearly enough credit. Our work is based on decades – centuries, even – of generations spent directly suffering through, studying, and overcoming oppressive conditions.
It is simply absurd for someone who’s never walked in our shoes to come along and say, “Hey, have you thought about just pretending racism doesn’t affect your life?”
Can you imagine telling Rosa Parks that she’ll eventually get to the front of the bus if she just shuts up about being forced to sit in the back? She knew she had to take action to have any hope for change – and activists of today haven’t forgotten that lesson from her and so many other change-makers.
Sure, talking about racism is uncomfortable. And maybe you’d feel more content if you got to forget that it exists.
But while you stay silent, people of color suffer with the impact of racism every single day. Only direct action can change that. Don’t insult us by saying things would be better for everyone if we just kept our mouths shut.
3. ‘I Don’t Have This Experience, So It Must Not Be True’
Are you noticing a pattern? These responses silence people of color and prioritize white folks’ voices as more important.
Like arguing that because you can’t relate to an issue, it must not really be an issue.
You’re telling me that, even though you have no experience with this, you’re sure I must be wrong about my own experience.
Excuse me if I’m more than a little insulted by your attitude. How much do you have to doubt my intelligence – and the intelligence of all people of color – to believe you automatically know better than we do when you don’t have a clue about the issue we’re addressing?
This dismissive attitude is also a dreadfully limited way of seeing the world. If you think the only things true in this world are the things you’ve experienced, then you’re missing out on learning about a whole world of experiences that are different from yours.
You and I have different lives, and that’s okay – and I’m smart enough to understand my own experience without your skepticism casting doubt until you get firsthand confirmation.
Living different lives doesn’t mean either of our experiences are invalid. Don’t let the simple fact that we’re different people get in the way of understanding each other.
4. ‘I Don’t Understand This, So It Must Not Be True’
There are a lot of things I don’t understand – like the appeal of skydiving. I’m terrified of heights and I really don’t get why someone would willingly throw themselves out of a perfectly good plane.
But the fact that I don’t understand it is no reason to dismiss the people who do.
If someone told me, “I love skydiving,” I wouldn’t reply with, “But I don’t understand how you could possibly enjoy such a thing, so you must be lying.”
But unfortunately, this is how a lot of people respond to issues of racism.
Say you’re tempted to say, “I don’t understand cultural appropriation – that would mean I can never enjoy anything from another culture, and that’s just silly.”
Here’s a different suggestion: Ask questions. Do research.
Learn more about the issue, instead of dismissing it. Lots of people have written about why cultural appropriation is a problem, and how it differs from respectful cultural exchange. You’ll learn that your reason for dismissing the issue – the suggestion that you can “never” enjoy elements of other cultures – just doesn’t hold true.
If a scaredy cat like me can grasp that some daredevils actually enjoy jumping out of planes, surely you can accept that there are some things about racism that you don’t understand, but they’re still valid.
5. ‘But I’m Not a Bad Person’
Look, I’m sure you’re swell. Now that I’ve acknowledged this, can we move on to what white privilege is really about? Because it has nothing to do with judging your character.
Yes, having white privilege means getting unearned benefits that people of color don’t have. Yes, that means you can contribute to people of color’s struggles without even meaning to.
But no, that doesn’t mean you’re a bad person. It only means you’re human, just like the rest of us, because all of us are part of the system of white supremacy.
Say you and I walk into the same store. You browse unbothered and leave when you don’t see anything you like. I get a security guard keeping me company, and have to open my bag before I exit to prove I didn’t steal anything.
You’ve benefited from white privilege, but you didn’t do anything that makes you a bad person. And even if you did act on racism – say you stereotyped me, too – calling for you to take responsibility for your actions isn’t about judging your character.
In this case, it’s about acknowledging that everyone has implicit biases because white supremacy influences our perceptions. I’m just saying that you, like everyone else, have some biases to unlearn.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking only the Dylann Roofs or the KKK members of the world are capable of contributing to racism. You can be a good person and still be part of the problem.
6. ‘I Never Enslaved or Colonized Anyone, So White Privilege Has Nothing to Do With Me’
Some white people take discussions of white privilege as a personal attack. So they defend themselves from blame:
“How can I have white privilege? I never owned slaves.”
“You’re shaming me for being white.”
“You’re limiting my freedom!”
If your idea of “freedom” includes being able to oppress other people, then we’ve got bigger problems. Anti-racism is about fighting for liberation – for all of us to be free to be who we are.
“Shaming” you for being white is very different than pointing out your contributions to the system of white supremacy.
Think of it this way: Slavery was not just a minor mistake that our country easily moved on from once we realized it was wrong.
It was a major part of the foundation of our country, integral to how we developed race relations between Black and white people. It completely dehumanized Black folks, and only a major revolution could get rid of it.
Even after slavery ended, its practices continued with indentured servitude, and influenced life in the US through segregation, mass incarceration, and everyday discrimination.
So of course slavery’s influences remain – they’ve been benefiting white people and destroying the lives of Black people for centuries.
Today’s examples of white privilege may not include keeping Black folks as property, but they’re still a big deal.
7. ‘I Know an Exception to the Rule’ (Or ‘My Black Friend Said Something Different’)
I have to wonder what white privilege deniers would do if they didn’t have Barack Obama or Oprah Winfrey to point to. Maybe they’d have to realize the realities of everyday Black folks can’t be invalidated by just two people?
Then again, you’ve always got that Black guy you knew in high school – you heard he’s never had a problem with police, so police brutality must not be an issue. Or your cousin’s co-workers wife, who’s Asian and doesn’t mind questions about where she’s from. And don’t forget that Latina you once found in a YouTube comments section, who takes hypersexual stereotyping as a compliment.
The existence of exceptions to the rule is no reason to dismiss the experiences of so many others, and talking about white privilege doesn’t mean saying that every single white person has one experience, and every single person of color has another.
Once again, it’s about talking about a system that disadvantages groups of people.
You could take any issue – say, “positive” racial stereotypes – and find lots of different people of color with varying experiences with it. Some would say that so-called “positive” stereotypes dehumanize them. Some would say these stereotypes just make them laugh.
When Kai Cheng Thom wrote about being a “bad” example of an Asian, she didn’t bother trying to prove that every single Asian person suffers as a result of “good Asian” stereotypes, because that’s not the point.
It would be a shame to miss her really important points about “positive” stereotypes as a weapon of white supremacy just because you know an exception to the rule.
8. ‘Aren’t There More Important Things to Worry About?’
A comprehensive list of white privilege examples would include lots of seemingly “little” things, because white privilege shows up in a variety of ways. Some are so horrendous that they make the news, while others go by without any recognition.
You may think only the “big” things are worth caring about. When people are losing their lives to racist violence, does a microaggression like “you’re so articulate” really matter?
First, let’s establish here and now that it’s possible to care about more than one thing.
Talking about microaggressions doesn’t mean losing passion for stopping threats to Black lives.
Also, you wouldn’t think the so-called “little” things are so little if you understood how they connect with larger issues.
People perpetuate the conditions leading to violence every day – like with the assumption that Black people don’t ordinarily have the intelligence to be “articulate.”
And most of the time, the person saying “Aren’t there more important things to worry about?” isn’t worrying about those “important things” anyway. They’re not taking a break from Black Lives Matter activism to tell me to drop the issue of microaggressions and march against police brutality.
Instead, they’re exploiting the issue of police brutality – something they’re not actually doing anything about – to say my everyday experiences with racism don’t matter. It’s disgustingly insensitive.
9. ‘You’re Too Angry About This’
Is there really such a thing as “too angry” about issues of oppression? This is another response sometimes couched in claiming to “care” about the movement – saying you’d be willing to listen if only people weren’t so upset about this whole racism thing.
When I consider the context of how awful racism is, then think about the fact that people of color are being told to “calm down” about it, I seriously doubt that this response is really about strengthening the call for racial justice.
This is about tone policing – focusing on the emotion of the message, rather than the message itself, and discrediting anyone who doesn’t make the effort to be “nice” about the fact that they’re being oppressed.
Let’s review how it feels to be oppressed. It can be, at various times or all at once, dehumanizing, demoralizing, infuriating, terrifying, bewildering, anxiety-provoking, and more.
And if that’s not enough, then I’m tone policed about it, which is insulting, frustrating, and invalidating.
So trying to get people of color to “calm down” about racism is not going to help. It’d be much more supportive to listen and understand that our emotions make sense, given the circumstances.
10. ‘There’s No Such Thing as Race’ (Or ‘I Don’t See Color’)
“There’s no such thing as race” is the ultimate derailment – and I have to wonder how this would fly for other problems.
“I’m sad because my grandpa died.” “There’s no such thing as death!”
“I’m having a bad day.” “There’s no such thing as bad!”
“That guy just stole my car!” “There’s no such thing as ownership!”
Sure, we can have philosophical conversations about any of these things – what it means to die, what we miss in good and bad binaries, whether we really own material possessions or if ownership is an illusion.
But now is not the time.
Similarly, when it comes to when it comes to young black men being 21 times more likely to be killed by police than young white men, now is not the time to pretend skin color doesn’t make a difference. Clearly, society treats people differently based on race, and we need to talk about it.
Related to this is the claim that you “don’t see color.” There are lots of problems with the colorblind approach, and one of them is that it fails to recognize the reality we’re living in.
Race does matter. We are not all the same, and that’s okay – it doesn’t mean we’re unequal.
Consider this quote by poet activist Audre Lorde, who was proud to identify as a Black lesbian woman: “It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.”
Without These Reactions, What Can You Do Instead?
I’m not trying to shut down your questions or participation in conversations on white privilege. Like I said, I’m all for talking about these issues, and I think we could have some awesome conversations if we engaged more deeply with them.
So instead of reacting defensively, you can help foster productive conversations with these strategies:
1. Ask Questions
Questions help you understand where other people are coming from. Instead of assuming a person of color is lying because you can’t relate, give them the benefit of the doubt and ask for more info about what their experience means to them.
For example, if I tell you it’s racist when white people touch my hair, please don’t say, “I’m not offended when people touch my hair. It’s not about race. You’re just being oversensitive.”
You’ll learn a lot more (and avoid insulting me) if you say, “I had no idea that was such a big problem. Can you tell me more about how it connects to racism?”
Then I can explain – and luckily for both of us, I’ve written a whole article just to help you understand.
2. Do Your Own Research
Asking questions is great, but expecting people of color to do all the work for you is not. Finding answers yourself is just a Google search away.
Like these examples show, issues of race and white privilege are complicated, and you’re not going to get it all from just one person’s comment. So if there’s something you don’t understand, look for more information before you decide to dismiss it.
There are probably many resources (lots right here on Everyday Feminism!) with in-depth analysis on what you’re missing.
3. Get Used to the Fact That People Have Different Experiences Than You
Equality isn’t about sameness – trying to make everyone the same is the opposite of liberation.
So in conversations on white privilege, you’re going to come across experiences that are different from yours. You’ll hear ideas from outside of your frame of reference.
Don’t dismiss what’s different. Listen and learn about what you don’t already know. The more you learn about systems of oppression, the more you’ll realize that some parts of racism are invisible, and it takes paying attention and expanding your worldview to understand them.
4. Practice Sitting with Uncomfortable Feelings – Because This Isn’t Supposed to Be Comfortable
Emotions like anger and guilt aren’t fun to deal with. But difficult feelings are inevitable in conversations about racism.
Many people lash out defensively and shut the conversation down when they feel uncomfortable.
If you can examine what has you feeling uncomfortable instead of trying to escape it, you might learn something from your discomfort.
5. Direct Your Anger at Systems of Racism, Not the People Trying to Fight Them
The next step after recognizing where your anger comes from is doing something about it.
You’re not powerless. Once you learn how to name what’s going on, you can learn what it takes to address it.
Remember that it’s not people of color talking about racism who are creating these problems – we’re just naming and fighting them. You’re invited to join the fight, too – but first, you’ll have to drop the defensive reactions getting in the way.

As I was writing these mini-reviews for the 44 movies of 2014 that I saw, something became extremely evident to me: I have been neglecting my written reviews this year. There were so many movies that I watched this year that I didn’t review at all. Robert has not been reviewing stuff up to his potential. I’m hoping to change that in 2015. I will try to write something about everything I see this year, even if it’s a shorter review because I didn’t have much to say. But we can worry about that later. For now, check out my mini-reviews for all the movies I saw in 2014.
JANUARY
PARANORMAL ACTIVITY: THE MARKED ONES
There’s scarcely anything special one way or the other about the Paranormal Activity movies. They just kind of are. This one also are, but it at least has the decency to end in a pretty cool way that ties it back together with the first movie. It still takes a little while to get to the good stuff, but it does fairly well once it arrives there.
THE LEGEND OF HERCULES
For reasons that are probably fairly obvious, I chose not to see this movie in the theaters. I says to myself, “If I’m only going to see one Hercules movie this year, I’ll go with the one that has the Rock in it instead of the one that has one of the lesser Cullens from the Twilight movies in it.” I apparently chose wrong. That is not to say that this was a great movie by any stretch of the imagination, but it was better than the other Hercules movie. It actually had some cool action in it that may have been mostly borrowed from 300, but it’s a solid place to borrow from. Don’t expect the story or the actors to impress you at all, but there are at least a few fight scenes in the movie that make it worth renting.
DEVIL’S DUE
This movie was Rosemary’s Baby a couple decades and levels of quality removed. It wasn’t bad and it wasn’t ever really boring, but it also never came close to being scary and was entirely predictable. When it comes right down to it, the only reason to watch this movie is because you somehow can’t find a copy of Rosemary’s Baby, but I’m sure that’s got to be streaming on something by now, or at least $5 on DVD.
THE RAID 2
I found The Raid 2 to be extremely disappointing. The first movie was some of the best action I had seen in a movie, and it also had the benefit of being a complete surprise to me. I had no expectations for The Raid: Redemption when I went in, allowing its fantastic action scenes an easier time to blow me away. The Raid 2 did not benefit from such surprise, so there’s a chance that is the reason I didn’t wind up caring for it. It might also be the fact that this was a sequel to a non-stop, over the top action movie that had its share of great action scenes, but it had ones that were separated by hours of boring, slow, story scenes. Should I be checking my watch and nodding off during a sequel to The Raid: Redemption? No! I shouldn’t be able to since my hands should be too busy touching myself! But that’s not what happened…
I, FRANKENSTEIN
I’m not really sure what to say about this movie. It was definitely bombed by the greater majority of critics, but I don’t remember hating it. I also don’t remember liking it. That’s because I don’t remember any of it. I watched the movie, and I’m pretty sure I stayed in the room and watched the entire thing, but I remember practically nothing. Aaron Eckhart was Frankenstein and he fought some … somethings by using … something. I really can’t remember any of it. I also didn’t write a review for it, which leads me to believe there was nothing to say about this movie one way or another. So if you have 2 hours that you’d like to disappear completely from your timeline like a controlled, short, alcohol bender without a hangover the next day, here’s your movie. You can spend the next couple of months trying to figure out what you did in those two hours you can’t remember as if you were a UFO abductee. You can make a game out of it!
NON-STOP
This movie was far better than I expected when I rented it. I knew nothing about it when I first saw it in a RedBox, leading me to believe it would have a little too much in common with one of the many Nicholas Cage movies that release under my radar. Instead, this is a Liam Neeson movie, and it has Julianne Moore in it. Does that make it good? No. But it certainly bumps it up a few notches. Its story was fairly standard and unsurprising, but Liam Neeson and Julianne Moore elevate it to the lofty status of “Okay” from the “Meh” it would be at otherwise.
ROBOCOP
The modern era’s penchant for remaking popular old movies has been beaten up pretty thoroughly, but I’ve mostly been on the opposing side to this hatred. For instance, I really liked the new Dredd movie and, though I didn’t think the remake was a great movie, I did like the remake of Total Recall and didn’t hold too much appreciation for the camp appeal of the original. That being said, there was really no reason to remake Robocop. The original Robocop still holds up pretty well, and all the remake has going for it is slightly improved visuals. The remake wasn’t the worst thing ever, but it added nothing. Just watch the original.
FEBRUARY
THE LEGO MOVIE
This movie caught me by surprise. When I saw that they were making a movie out of Legos, I probably scoffed, made a jacking off motion with my hands, and walked away. I liked the Lego games, but certainly they couldn’t support an entire movie, could they? Turns out, yes they can. This movie was a great kid’s movie but even people that the law insists should be charged as adults can enjoy it. A movie with a solid message and some pretty good laughs spread throughout, and an excellent cast of voice actors made me realize how you can’t judge a movie by its poster any more than you can judge a book by its cover. …Or so I’ve been told. I’ll still judge books by their covers because I can look at them and see they are books and go, “EW!” and go play a video game.
POMPEII
I’ve always had an affection for Greek/Roman mythology, and in my interest in that came some interest in real life events that inspired some mythology, such as the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and the ensuing destruction of the town of Pompeii. Add that interest to the cute chick from Sucker Punch and gundamned Jon Snow and how could I not watch this movie? Well I could have known better than to expect anything, because it certainly couldn’t live up to it. It wanted to be Gladiator, but fell short. Then it wanted to be a love story, forgetting of course that I came into this movie looking to see a volcano erupt. Any interaction with people would therefore be a waste of my time. It looked pretty, but it got caught up with other failed attempts at story nonsense that set its own sights on something that would wind up being well out of its reach.
MARCH
300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE
The best part about this movie was the boobs of Eva Green, and this will not be the only point in this review where I make that claim. Calling this movie 300 seemed like a copout since this movie really didn’t have much to do with the original movie … and this movie didn’t particularly focus on 300 of anything. But, at least from what I know, Greek Warriors < Spartan Warriors, thus 300 Part 2 < 300 Part 1. The action was inferior and the story was inferior and the abs were inferior. But Eva Green’s boobs are better than Lena Headey’s boobs, so it’s got that goin’ for it.
NOAH
I don’t remember thinking much about this movie one way or another. The performances were pretty good, particularly from Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connolly, and Emma Watson, but that’s probably all I can really say about this one. It was kind of like the Bible story come to life, but then there were rock monsters and such that I kind of remember from the Bible. Or was that the Neverending Story? Which one was Atreyu in? Well this movie was pretty, well-acted, and pretty well-directed, but I didn’t care much about what was going on at any given time.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER
I probably don’t really need to write much of a review for this movie for my followers to know how I felt about it. I could just say, “Marvel movie,” and give away the fact that I enjoyed it. But that’s not ALWAYS true. I mean, there were two Ghost Rider movies. But it is definitely the case here, although I would still believe that it’s also a good movie. Of course there was great action, but I also think the story worked very well (as it has in so many Marvel movies recently). The repercussions of what go down in this movie ripple through some of the other Marvel movies and even into a Marvel TV show.
DIVERGENT
I had a good idea what to expect when I rented this movie. It looked like one of the hundreds of movies that have come out recently that are optioned from subpar books into subpar movies that inexplicably do well even though they’re not particularly good. (Disclaimer: I’m just guessing. I’ve never read this or any other book.) It’s like Twilight and Logan’s Run had a baby, but then they realized that they were related and so the baby came out retarded. It’s about a girl that’s special because the sorting hat machine can’t figure out if she’s Gryffindor or Hufflepuff and so the chick from Titanic will kill her unless La Femme Nikita is there. So she joins the Bad Ass group and tries to be a Bad Ass, but she can’t pull it off even though the movie wants us to think she can. And then the movie only kind of ends because they know already that the people of the world are dumb enough to see this enough times to justify a sequel, even before they’ve released the movie.
APRIL
TRANSCENDENCE
This movie sure did try … something. It had some really big ideas but when they came together, they just weren’t that interesting. Johnny Depp’s character gets killed by some technology-hating terrorists but then his wife tries to keep him alive by keeping him alive as artificial intelligence, but without its humanity it goes all SkyNet and tries to fix the problem that is humanity. It was a somewhat pretty movie to see, but beyond that it was a movie that didn’t connect with me. Perhaps I need to upgrade to USB 3.0 for full connectivity.
THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2
This is another movie that probably benefits greatly from being able to attach a Marvel logo to their movie. I had mostly the same problems as I had with the original: the dialogue is pretty terrible. Conversations are stuttering and awkward and Spider-Man can’t pull off a funny quip to save his life, but the story pulls itself together with the resolution of the Gwen Stacy storyline. The villains were pretty good, but only at certain points in the movie. Jamie Foxx was a little over the top as Max Dillon, but was pretty good as Electro. And Dane DeHaan was pretty good as Harry Osborn, but looked goofy as hell when he became the Green Goblin. Still, I really liked the ending, and the rest of the movie was fun and enjoyable enough to make it there with little complication.
MAY
GODZILLA
If it is your decision that you need to see Godzilla rebooted again, my recommendation is to rent this movie and skip to around the last half hour. That’s when the movie finally decides that it’s time to show their titular character and have him drop an ass-whoopin’ on two radioactive bat creatures. Also, if you’re going in expecting to see a giant, asexual iguana and Matthew Broderick, you’ll be pleasantly surprised that it’s actually Godzilla. The problem then becomes that I’m reviewing the entire movie, and if you watch the whole thing you must first sit through an hour and a half of boring set up and family problems involving Walter White and the brother and sister from the next Avengers movie that are married with a kid in this one. So not only does this movie tease the audience way too hard with the reveal of their main character, but this movie is pro-incest.
X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST
If you were the type to feel like you need to fully understand a movie to enjoy it, you may have trouble with Days of Future Past. The time travel stuff makes for a complicated story that may not stand up to prolonged scrutiny. Of course, if you were that type to demand that their time travel storyline make sense, you probably shouldn’t be seeing a movie about mutants with superpowers. I had a couple minor gripes with the continuity, such as how Wolverine would eventually end up in the Weapon X program after we find out that William Stryker was Mystique, but I don’t let such things ruin my appreciation for the movie unless they’re overwhelming. But it was a joy to see the two different casts of the X-Men movies come together with a pretty solid story, cool action, and of course, the Quicksilver scene. Really fun movie and the scene at the end only whets my appetite for the next one.
EDGE OF TOMORROW
This movie turned out better than I expected. It seemed like a pretty standard action movie, and it was, but it was also slightly more interesting. It was Groundhog Day if it were an action movie. I assumed that would make the movie boring and repetitive, but they pulled it off. Obviously it was repetitive, but that’s what they were going for. And the minor changes kept it interesting. That and the hotness of Emily Blunt. Definitely worth a watch.
MALEFICENT
I was surprised with how much I enjoyed this movie. I was more than a little worried it would pull a Snow White and the Huntsman, but this movie rested on the shoulders of Angelina Jolie, not Kristen Stewart. I thought Angelina was great in this movie. She really felt like Maleficent but reined it in from going too far with it. And though I loved Maleficent as an evil character, the way they made her sympathetic in this movie really worked for me. I liked the performances, the story, the look. I really enjoyed this movie.
A MILLION WAYS TO DIE IN THE WEST
I really don’t know why this movie was beaten up as much as it was. I thought it had plenty enough laughs to justify its existence to me. I guess you could argue that the movie was scattershot, but if you went to see this movie and you like Family Guy, you should be somewhat okay with that. And if you don’t like Family Guy, then why did you see this anyway? You know that’s the same guy, right? As a straightforward comedy, all I required from it is some laughs. And it was only aided by having a great cast to deliver those laughs.
JUNE
EARTH TO ECHO
I guess the best I could say about this movie is that I had no complaints about it. It did nothing wrong while simultaneously meaning very little to me. It’s found footage ET with like 4 times the kids helping the alien phone home. But also not nearly as good as ET. The kids were a little annoying, but all kids are to me so I can’t really hold that against the movie. But the movie was pretty, and Echo was pretty adorable. So … I dunno … see it, I guess … or not.
TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION
They sure are still making these, aren’t they? Well, I’m as much to blame as is the studio system’s lack of imagination because I still see them. It made about as much sense as a movie about robot car creatures that Mark Wahlberg will fight with a sword gun could. Except for the part where the Japanese Samurai stereotype robot turned into an Italian as fuck Bugatti Veyron car. But you didn’t expect this shit to make sense, did you? Things blew up. That’s all you need to know, and that’s all there is anyway. Oh yeah, and a hot, blond, possibly jailbait daughter.
DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES
These monkeytown movies really are turning out much better than they probably need to be. They could just be not much more than a simple monkey vs. human storyline, but they actually infuse some pathos into these movies. The quality of their performers gets the audience attached to the humans and the apes at the same time (except, of course, for Carver and Koba, who are the two epic douchebags in their respective communities), which makes it somewhat hard to decide what side to root for (I went with the monkeys), but the movie gets me interested enough to root in the first place, so you can put that in the win category.
JULY
DELIVER US FROM EVIL
I don’t remember much about his movie because I lost interest in what I was watching pretty early into the movie. It was vaguely spooky in its atmosphere, but lacked imagination or any scares. I suppose their excuse for any plot problems could be their claim that it was based on true events, but that should make the movie much scarier. Perhaps it’s my hesitation to believe in the events, or perhaps it just wasn’t captured well. Either way, it was more boring than scary, so I won’t be recommending it.
SEX TAPE
There’s not much to say about this movie. It just was. They story of this movie seemed fairly lazy. They accidently uploaded their sex tape to the cloud, which then got sent to all the iPads that they just gave away to random people (Y’know, as people do) and then they deal with one or two of these iPads before realizing they can remote delete them. The story does have a somewhat sweet message about keeping the fire burning for each other after many years and parenthood, but it’s not really supported by enough laughs to inspire anyone to see it. Of course, Cameron Diaz is pretty sexy in some parts of the movie, so maybe that will tip the scale in favor of a rental.
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
The joy of this movie comes from the fairly unknown property on which it’s based. Marvel might never have let a director like James Gunn have the freedom to play with this movie the way he did if it were one of their more known properties such as X-Men or Avengers. But thank God they let him do his thing. The movie was equal parts funny, exciting, and heartfelt, not to mention entirely entertaining throughout. The cast was also incredible. Lee Pace was intimidating as Ronan the Accuser, Chris Pratt was charming as Starlord, Bradley Cooper was hilarious as Rocket, Zoe Saldana was hot as Gamora, Vin Diesel was adorable as Groot, Karen Gillan disappeared into Nebula, but I think the most surprising was Dave Bautista as Drax. Obviously, he would be able to do the action well, but he lands the comedy parts of his performance better than I would’ve expected as well. This movie was a fantastic offering and I can’t wait for the next one.
HERCULES
I like the Rock. And I like Hercules stuff. But what I don’t like is coming into a movie about the demigod son of Zeus … turning out to be a fake. The movie is all about a really buff guy that isn’t particularly special, but has a great hype man. Then at the end, someone tells him to believe in himself and he’s a demigod again. I don’t know how it works, and I don’t care. The movie just wasn’t very good. Not even the Rock could salvage it for me. You know a movie’s bad when I think the Kellan Lutz version of a Hercules movie is better.
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES
There’s not a whole lot that this movie can offer to any type of person. If you’re a fan of the turtles (as I am), you’ll probably find yourself disappointed in their stupid story and with how weird they decided to make the turtles look. And Splinter just looked gross. If you’re a fan of Megan Fox for her hotness, you’ll find yourself disappointed that it’s not really utilized in the movie. And if you’re a fan of Megan Fox for something else, you’re weird and I don’t get you. The movie isn’t the worst thing ever, and probably isn’t even the worst Ninja Turtles movie, but it’s not really worth seeing. At least it had the decency to not be so bad that it ruined my image of the franchise as a whole.
AUGUST
THE EXPENDABLES 3
I don’t know what to say here. It’s Expendables … again. It’s stupid and poorly acted, but things explode and old dudes bro out a lot. What more can one say? Watch it or not. You know what it is.
THE GIVER
This movie only impressed me because of how terrible it wasn’t. That’s not to say that it was particularly good, but I expected less from this movie. As it was, it was just fairly standard. It was another in what seems to be a trend of movies about the one special kid that is slightly better than the rest of us that needs to save us from something. It’s Divergent or Aeon Flux or Equilibrium or Parts: The Clonus Horror or any number of other movies that are basically the same movie. The story didn’t surprise or impress, but they at least had Jeff Bridges and Meryl Streep to give some great performances. And a little Taylor Swift for the kids. But there’s really nothing particular in this movie that says anyone should see it.
SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR
The best part about this movie was the boobs of Eva Green. …Why does that sound so familiar…? I know the first one was really popular, but I never really knew why. The look was amazing and the story was decent, but I just didn’t see anything that special about it. Well I was in the minority on that one. What many people seem to agree on is that this movie is much worse than the original. It’s a lot of the same stuff with the same fantastic style, but much less going for it in the story department. It’s probably worth seeing just for the style and the fact that Eva Green’s boobs get taken out in the movie every 5 minutes just to make sure you’re paying attention, but that’s all I really got out of this movie.
AS ABOVE SO BELOW
I can’t say I expected much out of this movie. It seemed like The Descent, but in the Catacombs in France. And sure, that’s exactly what it was, but it was still pretty solid as a horror movie offering. It still suffers from the fact that it’s probably one of 8 movies on this list in the found footage genre, but I still find that genre can work. The movie has a promising setup that it doesn’t entirely deliver on, but I don’t expect too much out of horror movies. It created a creepy atmosphere well and relied on some fairly successful jump scares, but I ended up feeling more satisfied by the experience than anything else. It’s worth a rental.
SEPTEMBER
TUSK
Oh wow this movie was fucked up, but in a very pleasant way. Well, it wasn’t exactly pleasant, but it sure was interesting. It’s a movie spawned from a podcast where two guys joked about a guy turning another guy into a walrus. In this movie, he does that shit! The movie is equal parts amusing, horrifying, and confusing. The movie defies explanation and, in my opinion, needs to be seen. I can’t promise you’ll like it as I did, but I can promise you that you’ve never seen anything like it. What more is there to say? WalrusYes.
OCTOBER
ANNABELLE
I only went to see this movie because many people I know were talking about it. After I left, I had no idea why they had been. It’s not bad, it’s just nothing special. It was a sequel to a movie that I thought was fine, and it was fine itself. It’s a movie about a haunted doll. You can probably fill in the rest of the plot from there and not be far off. I would say that some of the jump scares were clever and well executed, so I would probably recommend this movie for at least a rental.
DRACULA UNTOLD
This movie pleasantly surprised me. I expected it to be garbage and to be an easy candidate for one of the worst films of the year, but it wasn’t bad. It’s not particularly good, but it’s enjoyable enough. It’s like a Maleficent-esque retelling of the bad guy story to make them come off as sympathetic, and it’s fairly effective. It also has some pretty good action scenes once Vlad gets the bloodlust. Also, the cast was pretty excellent. I would say that the climactic final fight left something to be desired, such as Vlad not being severely diminished by a bunch of bling before the fight began, but overall the movie wasn’t bad. It’s a solid rental, though also something you can easily live without.
BIG HERO 6
I expected that I would like this movie when I went into it, but I did not foresee how much. Anyone that knows me will tell you that I am the manliest man that ever manned. I watch all the sports and when I play them, I get all the sporting points. I fix cars with tools and make the car work good. I scratch myself in public and demean women with words. With all that on the table, you know a movie is effective when someone as ultimately manly as I cried not once but twice during this movie. Well, technically one was in the short film that preceded the movie, and the second time was in the movie proper, but I think it fair to lump them together for this review. This movie contains genuine laughs, some great action, and a few heartfelt moments and a great message to wrap it all up. Disney killed it with this movie. I would put it up against any Pixar movie any day.
JOHN WICK
This movie caught me off guard. Let’s face facts: Keanu Reeves can be hit and miss. You could be walking into a Matrix, or you could be walking into a Matrix Revolutions. And when you put him in a movie with a boring name like John Wick, you start to lose my attention. That title is just some dude’s name. Some dude I don’t know or care about. But I went to the theaters to see it because I had nothing better to do, and I could not have been happier that I have no social life. My lack of things to do or people that like me got me to see one stylish, badass movie. It starts in a really heart wrenching way that will affect both the people that care about humans and the people that care about animals more than they care about people (like me). And this opening makes you not only okay with the ass whooping that Keanu is about to unleash, but pray for it. At least it did for me. Add all that with some great style and some sweet action and you’ll find that Keanu still gots it.
OUIJA
A friend of mine requested that I review this one while it was still in theaters and I was so grateful because I had not been getting enough sleep at that time and needed a good nap. It was SO boring and exactly zero percent scary. And this movie had a leg up on scaring me because it seems like I’d be so much easier to scare when I was nodding off to Sleepytime Land, but it still couldn’t pull it off. The only thing the movie had going for it was that its cast did a fairly decent job at portraying characters that weren’t well-written, but that doesn’t make for a good horror movie. If someone asks if you want to rent this movie, move the planchette over to “No,” and then over to “Goodbye.” That person is not a real friend.
NOVEMBER
INTERSTELLAR
This movie definitely got talked up to a degree it couldn’t live up to, but it came pretty close. The story was a little hard to follow in parts since it’s been a while since I last attended a Quantum Physics class, but I think I got the gist of it. The cast also knocks it out of the park, but the greatest thing this movie has going for it is the fact that it’s visually epic. Of course, the biggest knock against this movie is the fact that it’s 72 hours long. Or something like that anyway. Still, whatever its ridiculous length, it may have had only a few sparse boring moments where the amount of your life you had dedicated to the movie occurred to you. This movie is worth getting you a few steps closer to the grave for.
DUMB AND DUMBER TO
I have been a massive fan of Jim Carrey since he first spoke from his butt, and his subsequent film career has always done more to cement my appreciation of him than to diminish it. Dumb and Dumber was appropriately stupid and outrageously funny. Even with that pedigree, I don’t think I would ever consider myself amongst the chorus that was calling for a sequel 20 years later. The chances were way higher that they would do more harm than good. And that’s what they did with Dumb and Dumber To. There were a few laughs to be found in this movie, but more of their attempts were trying to rehash jokes from the first movie for fan service. But this fan did not feel serviced. He felt more like he had seen those jokes before and could see the rest of them coming from miles away. Standing on its own, this movie may have done fine by me, but it was not standing on its own. It was following one of my favorite comedies of all time with mediocrity, and it was hurting my feelings. I’m sorry, Dumb and Dumber To, but you were a little too dumb for your own good.
THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY – PART 1
This movie has three things working against it for me. First is that I grow weary of movies made from books I’m not interested in. Second is that I don’t like how often they split what could probably be one movie into two in order to make more money off of the audience. The third is that I’ve never been too fond of the Hunger Games movies. But this one wasn’t bad. I found it a little hard to follow for a while because they kept referencing prior movies that I was not interested enough in to file away in my memory, but ultimately the story was fine. There’s not too much action, but it’s mostly good. And the performances were great because they had fantastic actors in the movie. So I was good with this movie. I’ll probably see the next one even though I may not remember this one well enough to understand it.
DECEMBER
INTO THE WOODS
I really wish I had kinder words for this movie. I like the people in it so much that I was surprised at how much I disliked it, but that is not me saying that it is a bad movie. I liked the story for how it mashed up some popular storybook tales but infused them with meaning about dealing with some real world problems. I didn’t see it at first, but it really brings it together in the ending. The cast was also fantastic, but look at the people they got, far too numerous to list here. My problem with the movie (and I realize this is a problem of my own ignorance and bias) is that it was a musical. I probably should’ve known it was a musical so that I could’ve better prepared myself. It would also have worked in the movie’s favor if I wasn’t predisposed to dislike musicals. But it is not as if I hate them all, and some musicals can overcome my dislike, but I didn’t care for any of the songs in this movie even though they were performed well, and there was far too much of the singing of songs I didn’t like. I wanted this movie to end about an hour earlier than it did. Granted, I would’ve missed the ending that I enjoyed, but I would’ve been able to skip much of the stuff I didn’t.
EXODUS: GODS AND KINGS
After having seen Noah, I felt justified in my trepidation about seeing this movie. Would it be another loose interpretation of the Bible with crazy rock monster angel things or would it be something more? Well, I wouldn’t say that it was “something more.” That makes it sound life changing or something, but it was pretty good. It sticks fairly close to my vague memory of the biblical story, and thankfully doesn’t cheat the audience out of the God stuff. Whatever your religious beliefs, the only reason this story is worth telling is if God lays some plagues down on Egypt’s candy asses. I also enjoyed the epic scale found in the look of the movie and in the huge battles. I enjoyed this movie, and I think most people should. Even an atheist can enjoy this movie. Just watch it as mythology. Clash of the Titans was pretty cool, right?
THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES
I was very happy after leaving this movie. It’s hard to determine if it was the quality of the movie or just the fact that I could finally mark myself as finished with the 6 movie epic. This was the best of the Hobbit movies. The first was too much walking. The second was not enough Smaug or desolation. This movie was far more desolation of Smaug, and definitely plenty of army battling. The story is as solid as any of the Middle-Earth movies, and it also has the same epic scale, beauty, and spectacle. Though I could see some saying that the action goes on too long once the big fight starts, I was down the whole time. Definitely a great way to tie up the series.
Did you notice something missing? Something occurred to me while writing this review and recording the video version of it: this review is a total spoiler for my video review! What reason is there to watch the video if you could just read it here first? Besides the usual need to see my pretty face, that is. So I decided that next year I should drop the video first, but this year I would not be able to finish the video in time. So instead of depriving my lovely readers of anything, I decided that I just wouldn’t do the top and bottom 5 here while still leaving the reviews for the movies I chose in. Tune in next week to see which I thought were the best and the worst. And in the meantime, why not tell me what your best and worst were? Or take a guess as to what you think mine will be.

Coronavirus NC: Latest updates on COVID-19 in North Carolina
RALEIGH, N.C. -- Here's the latest news and information on COVID-19 and the COVID-19 vaccines.
Q&A: What does it mean that J&J wants FDA to authorize booster shots
EMBED <>More Videos
8:55 p.m.
During its Tuesday meeting, the Wake County School Board voted to continue its mask and face covering mandate.
'Consider children of color:' Black parents in Wake County push to keep school mask mandates
2 p.m.
The Dept. of Homeland Security this week issued an intel notice warning that extremists, including white supremacists, anarchists and other would-be domestic terrorists are likely to "threaten violence or plot against healthcare personnel, facilities, and public officials in response to renewed and expanding COVID-19 mitigation measures."
EMBED <>More Videos
The confidential document, distributed Monday to law enforcement and government agencies around the country, noted that anti-vax messaging and conspiracy disinfo is likely to increase as vaccines continue gaining formal government approval and are subsequently mandated for more and more work places and entertainment locations. The document was obtained by ABC News.
12:40 p.m.
2,703 new daily COVID-19 cases were reported on Tuesday.
The percent of positive tests in the state is at 9.4%.
2,705 people are currently hospitalized in the state with COVID-19.
93 more COVID-19 deaths were reported on Tuesday.
10:15 a.m.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced that a new report shows that COVID-19 vaccinations may have helped prevent roughly 11,000 new COVID-19 infections and 1,600 deaths among seniors in North Carolina during the first five months of 2021.
The study, which was conducted by researchers with HHS's Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE), also found that nationally, vaccinations were linked to a reduction of approximately 265,000 COVID-19 infections, 107,000 hospitalizations, and 39,000 deaths among Medicare beneficiaries between January and May 2021.
8:45 a.m.
New data shows how many people in North Carolina have had COVID-19 multiple times.
From March 2020 through September 20, 2021, a total of 10,812 people in the state had confirmed cases of COVID-19 multiple times (accounting for .8% of all cases). The researchers only counted positive COVID-19 tests at least 90 days prior, in an attempt to avoid multiple positive tests through the same infection.
That 90 day interval is part of the CDC definition of a reinfection case of COVID-19.
NCDHHS said the number of reinfection cases has dramatically increased since the arrival of the Delta variant. The number of reinfection cases per week approximately doubled around July and then tripled around August.
The numbers also show that 94 people died after contracted a reinfected COVID-19 case. That's approximately .6% of the state's total COVID-19 deaths.

7:10 a.m.
Johnson & Johnson asked the Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday to allow extra shots of its COVID-19 vaccine as the U.S. government moves toward expanding its booster campaign to millions more vaccinated Americans.
J&J said it filed a request with the FDA to authorize boosters for people who previously received the company's one-shot vaccine. While company said it submitted data on several different booster intervals, ranging from two to six months, it did not formally recommend one to regulators.
TUESDAY MORNING HEADLINES
Students and staff in Harnett County can attend indoor classes today without wearing a face mask.
The Harnett County School Board voted Monday night to make mask wearing optional, despite the objections of local health advisors.
In addition, students exposed to a positive COVID-19 case, but have not yet tested positive for the virus, only have to quarantine for 7 days--instead of the previous 10 days that health officials recommend.
According to our newsgathering partners at the News & Observer, the district superintendent Aaron Fleming warned the board that the 4-1 vote could have some unintended consequences. For example, he said some schools may have to turn to remote learning at times if COVID-19 cases and quarantines rise, as they have in other districts across the country that have made face masks optional.
In Wake County, the school board is scheduled to make its mandatory monthly vote on its COVID-19 masking policy.
Parents voiced their opinions over Zoom last night when the board met.
The district will also release a first look at its school reassignment plan for next year. The plan includes base attendance areas for three new schools: Apex Friendship Elementary School, Barton Pond Elementary School and Herbert Akins Road Middle School.
Parents will be allowed to review comment on the reassignment plan before the board votes on it in November.
And in Durham, Broadway makes a return to DPAC on Tuesday night.
The Band's Visit kicks off a six-day run at the theater. It's the first Broadway show there since the pandemic started back in 2020.
DPAC is requiring proof of vaccination or a recent negative COVID-19 test for all indoor events.
MONDAY
9:05 p.m.
At a Monday meeting, the Harnett County school board voted to keep masks optional.
5:50 p.m.
Students attending Sunnyside Elementary School in Cumberland County will temporarily transition to virtual remote learning from October 5-15 because of multiple positive COVID-19 cases.
The students are scheduled to resume face-to-face learning on October 18, the district said Monday.
Families will be contacted by Cumberland County Schools' Office of Health Services if it is believed their child was exposed.
District officials have asked parents to monitor their child's health and their families for COVID-19 symptoms.
2:55 p.m.
Although pediatric COVID-19 infection rates remain at an "exceptionally high" level, this week, the U.S. finally reported its first notable decline in new reported cases and hospitalization figures among children, as the delta surge continues to abate across the deep South.
Last week, the U.S. reported more than 173,000 child COVID-19 cases, marking the first week with fewer than 200,000 new cases reported since mid-August, according to a newly released weekly report from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the Children's Hospital Association (CHA).
Since the onset of the pandemic, nearly 5.9 million children have tested positive for the virus, and in the last five weeks alone, the U.S. has reported more than 1.1 million pediatric cases.
1 p.m.
Twelve people incarcerated in the Orange County Detention Center have tested positive for COVID-19, the county announced.
"Unfortunately, we are hearing from jail professionals across the state that numbers of COVID cases within detention facilities are surging. Despite our best efforts, we are also experiencing this increase in our facility," Chief Deputy Jamison Sykes said in a statement.
No one who tests positive is in a cell with anyone negative, the county said.
Officials said the outbreak "appears to stem from an individual who had no symptoms and a negative rapid test when he entered the facility."
12:15 p.m.
The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services released COVID-19 numbers for the weekend.
The state reported 4,738 new COVID-19 cases on Saturday, 3,728 on Sunday and 2,219 on Monday.
The average of new daily cases has been declining since a spike in mid-September.
The daily percent of positive tests is at 8.4%.
2,690 people are currently hospitalized in North Carolina with COVID-19.
There are currently 732 adult ICU COVID-19 patients.
209 confirmed COVID-19 patients were admitted into hospitals in the last 24 hours.
12 p.m.
The US is "turning the corner" on its current Covid-19 surge but vaccination remains key to ensuring cases continue trending downward ahead of the holiday season, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday.
The US is averaging around 107,000 new infections every day, according to Johns Hopkins University -- down from more than 150,000 just last month. Rates of hospitalizations and deaths have also been on the decline.
But Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told ABC's "This Week" that over nearly 20 months of the pandemic, Covid surges have subsided only to come back again.
MONDAY MORNING HEADLINES
More local businesses will start requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccination.
DPAC said it will start requiring proof of vaccination or proof of a negative test in the last 72 hours.
That requirement will be enforced for all events at DPAC, including Broadway performances, concerts, comedy shows and special events.
The Carolina Theatre in Durham is also starting to require proof of vaccination. The theatre said anyone attending needs to bring their physical vaccine card--pictures of the card will not count.
Meanwhile, North Carolina Health Secretary Dr. Mandy Cohen is set to be recognized for her role in guiding the state through the pandemic.
Wake Education Partnership will present Cohen with the Vernon Malone Friend of Education award at its annual Stars of Education Gala, which is scheduled to happen Monday night.
The Vernon Malone Friend of Education award has been awarded every year since 1990 to someone who shows exceptional commitment to public education.
FRIDAY
12:20 p.m.
North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services reported 4,963 new cases Friday, the fifth day in a row that the state reported fewer than five thousand cases.
The state also reported fewer than 3,000 hospitalizations for the second day in a row as the percentage of positive tests remained below 8% at 7.9%.
North Carolina passed 16,600 COVID-19 deaths--with 16,605 deaths as of Friday.
6:30 a.m.
An experimental COVID-19 pill reduced hospitalizations and deaths by half in people recently infected with the coronavirus, according to U.S. drug maker Merk.
If cleared, Merck's drug would be the first pill shown to treat COVID-19, a potentially major advance in efforts to fight the pandemic. All COVID-19 therapies now authorized in the U.S. require an IV or injection.
The company said it would soon ask health officials in the U.S. and around the world to authorize use of the pill.

Life is full of challenges. So much so that every step may feel impossible to take. But giving up is not an option in life.
When we accept defeat and give up in any area of life, it slowly spreads to other aspects to make life more and more difficult.
When we give up in life, the number, frequency, and intensity of challenges rise on us. But if we don't give up, we can turn challenges into opportunities for ourselves.
You may refuse to give up in life in 3 simple steps. First, when you feel like giving up, take a complete break from the thing troubling you.
Next, take rest mentally & physically. Then when you feel rested, reflect on the things you can do differently to improve the outcome. Brain-storm your life itself!
And when you feel mentally & physically ready to go once again, come back stronger and with a clear plan. Be ready to deal with the situations one on one & one by one.
Sometimes we take life all at once. Break it down to its simplest form and take it as it comes. Do not try to avoid it or try too hard to make things work. Accept life before you try to change it!

Our game this week was Front/Back/Overall scores using the Team Stableford scoring system. 4-man teams competed using their total Stableford score for the Front (holes 1-9), Back (holes 10-18), and Overall (all 18 holes) with no “double-dipping” allowed. There were two A-B-C-D Flights with a total of 16 teams, none of whom broke into the 140s (as a reminder, 144 is “par”).
The Overall winner in Flight 1 with 130 points was the team of Kevin Brandon, Richard Oswald, Eric Rosenstock, and Bill Wolod, beating the nearest competitor by 6 points. Winning the Front Nine by 1 point with a score of 65 was the team of Charlie Bradford, Mark Dusek, Rib Rubin, and Ron Thomas. The Back Nine was won by the team of Joel Klein, Tony Lombard, Steve Thomas, and David Healy who earned 68 points, 2 points more than their nearest competitor.
Flight 2 was a squeaker. The team of Neal Lieberman, John Bellucci, Ted Bumsted, and Dave Walradt won with 136 points, edging out the team of Frank Schepis, Larry Batanian, Don Snyder, and David Evans who earned 135 points. But all was not lost for Frank’s foursome as they picked up a win on the Back Nine with 73 points as Neal’s team couldn’t double-dip with their Back Nine score of 74. On the Front Nine, the team of Keith Krueger, Bruce Decker, Tom Stevens, and Vic Bell won a scorecard playoff at 63 points while there were 3 additional teams at 62 points (talk about the importance of a missed putt here and there). And in case you might be confused about all of this, the players list and results are attached.
A big SHOUT-OUT goes to our one new player this week – Page Thomson. While you weren’t on any of the winning teams (nor any DFL teams), we hope to see you in the upcoming weeks break into the Victory Circle.
And as always, a special thanks goes to the LMGA folks who continue to make these events huge successes while ensuring everyone stays safe and follows all the Corona Virus guidelines. Thank you, President Frank Schepis, for overall organization and Don Snyder for beverage service; Tom Seipel and Steve Voss for handling our beverages; and John Bellucci, Steve Skipper, and Mike Munro for continuing to keep us organized despite many last-minute changes.
Next week our game will be Team Stableford with four-man teams competing against each other with their total Stableford scores. Play will be at the recently reopened Deer Creek course. Individual Foursome tee times, and special scorecard and beverage handling procedures at the 19th hole will again be the order of the day. Sign up now so that you don’t get left out.

If you live in Nebraska or plan to .Montana currently requires only those under the age of 18 to wear helmets while operating a motorcycle. Meaning, all adult motorcyclists can legally operate a motorcycle without wearing a helmet whether in the city or on the highway.

I have closed my commission book for a bit so I can get ready for IFDC at the end of July. I took a break in between commissions here and did this Volks Dollfie man head. Then I gave him a razor cut and I think my Momokos are going to fight over him. I’m planning on bringing him IFDC and have some other doll heads to work on so I can offer them up for sale.
So, as I said in my title “famous last words” because in my last post I said I wasn’t into the bigger ball-jointed dolls and then after finishing my face-up on Sooah, I felt like playing with her. I put a black wig on her and she turned completely asian and really cool looking so I going to style her up in more street clothes with a punk goth type theme and will also bring her to the convention. I may even try to make clothes but I’m still a beginner in sewing and have lots to learn. I guess working on Sooah and getting her face-up just right brought out her personality and I guess we “bonded” as they say in the doll world.
Stay tuned for more face-ups on the smaller Obitsu and Volk’s dolls. 🙂

Sanna Pederson is a musicologist who teaches music history at the University of Oklahoma School of Music in Norman, Oklahoma. She grew up in rural Minnesota. She majored in Music and English at Oberlin College, and received her PhD in musicology at the University of Pennsylvania. She taught at Bates College in Maine and Wesleyan University in Connecticut before settling in Oklahoma in 2001.
Her dissertation was a history of German music criticism in the first half of the nineteenth century. The reception of Beethoven had a lot to do with it. Her article, “A. B. Marx, Berlin Concert Life and German National Identity” drew upon the Berliner allgemeine musikalische Zeitung, which ran from 1824-30. “Romantic Music under Siege in 1848” discussed how the 1848 revolutions affected music criticism in the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik and Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung at that time. “Defining the term ‘absolute music’ historically” takes a broader view of trends in music criticism and aesthetics from mid-nineteenth century to the present. It was the first of her articles to make use of full-text search of digitized print media. Since there is so much more to be found from the nineteenth and early twentieth century online, a website seems like the best way to share research that is always in progress, being updated, corrected, enhanced, and connected to other data.

Proceedings of the Brest-Litovsk Peace Conference
The Peace Negotiations Between Russia and the Central Powers
21 November, 1917-3 March, 1918
Appendices: Russia-Germany
(Washington, Government Printing Office, 1918)
Introduction.
These accounts of the negotiations at Brest-Litovsk, between Russia (including Ukraine) on the one hand, and Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and Turkey on the other hand, have been taken from various sources. Official protocols of the sessions were provided for at the session on 3 December, but if they were ever published, they are not available at this time of compilation. Most of the following accounts have been taken from the (British) Daily Review of the Foreign Press and from the Deutscher Reichsanzeiger, the exact source of each being indicated. The official Russian reports as published in Isvestia are not available, but most of them seem to have been sent out by the Russian wireless and published in the (British) Daily Review of the Foreign Press. The versions given in the Deutscher Reichsanzeiger are probably as nearly official as were published in Germany.
8. RUSSIA-GERMANY.
FINAL PROTOCOL TO SUB APPENDIX 1 OF APPENDIX II TO THE PEACE TREATY BETWEEN RUSSIA AND THE CENTRAL POWERS. SIGNED 3 MARCH, 1918.1
[Translation.]
PART FIRST
REFERRING TO THE TEXT OF THE TREATY
To Article 1.
Household effects which have already been in use and movable property of subjects of either contracting party who intend to settle on the territory of the other party, shall be exempt in the latter territory from any import duties.
German official consulates and the employes of diplomatic and of said consular institutions dispatched to Russia, shall have the right to receive newspapers and works of science, art, and literature, entirely exempt from the Russian censorship.
The privileges and immunities accorded, as per Article 2 of the Treaty between Germany and Russia of 8 December/26 November, 1874,2 to consular employees, are also extended to special officials attached to German consulates in Russia and also to the agents of the Russian Ministry of Finance and to their secretaries (or attachés) in Germany.
1: Ratifications exchanged at Berlin, 29 March, 1918 (Neue Freie Presse, 6 July, morning edition; cf. infra, p. 139).
2: 65 British and Foreign State Papers, p. 244.
To Articles l and 12.
In regard to passports the subjects of both countries are placed on a footing with the most favored nation.
The passport visée in Russia holds good for six months.
The decision includes the visée of the passports of German commercial travelers of the Hebrew faith.
The fee for issuing foreign passports to Germans living in Russia is not to exceed 50 Copecks. Russia will in the future also grant a term of 28 days for the validity of legitimation certificates available wlthin the limits of a frontier zone 30 kilometers wide, allowing the bearers the right of repeatedly crossing the frontier at different points as at present. This term will be reckoned by both parties from the day on which the certificate is first used for crossing the frontier, but the certificates expire if not used for the first time at the latest within fifteen days after the date of issue. This term of 28 days is in no way affected by the beginning of a new year during the time for which the certificate is available. These certificates, which shall be issued in two languages, German and Russian, are to be given by either country only to its own subjects and to such subjects of the other State who reside in the country in which the certificate is issued.
The day on which the frontier is crossod will in future be marked on the certificate by both Russian and German authorities, according to both the Russian and German calendar. Certificates will be given in future, as at present, both to Christians and Hebrews.
Each contracting parties will allow its subjects to pass temporarily to the territory of the other party for agricultural and industrial purposes and will raise no obstacles particularly as regards passport regulations. The representatives of organizations under state inspection which are established in the territory of one Party to act as agencies for enlisting such workmen, and regarding which the government of this party will notify the government of thc other party, are without further formalities admitted within the territory of the latter and may exercise without hindrance their functions as agents.
Russian workmen entering Germany for agricultural or other kindred occupations, shall be provided as heretofore, free of charge, with legitimation papers valid from l February to 20 December, new style.
These papers also shall be written in the Russian and German languages.
To Article 3.
In so far as the subjects of a third State, on the strength of existing treaties and agreements, are exempt in Russia from guardianship, German subjects in Russia shall enjoy the same privilege in respect to guardianship of non-German minors.
To Article 5.
Veterinary measures introduced by the German Government with regard to Russian import may not be applied more strictly than with regard to States which, in respect to contagious diseases of animals and in respect to veterinary institutions, are in the same condition as Russia.
This regulation does not apply to agreements relative to veterinary measures between Germany and Austria-Hungary.
The number of live pigs, which according to existing regulations may be lmported into upper Silesia is increased to twenty-five hundred per week.
Meat, which by the German Meat Inspection Law of 3 June, 1900, is considered as dressed, is allowed to be imported into Germany in accordance with regulations of the law referred to.
The concessions stipulated in paragraphs 3 and 4 preceding, may be temporarily suspended or revoked, if this is necessitated by extraordinary considerations arising from veterinary supervision.
To Articles 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10.
Whereas in Russia at the present time certain goods are subject to higher customs duty, when imported across the land frontier, than when imported by the Baltic Sea, the Parties are agreed that from the day of the coming into force of the present treaty, the duties on imports across the land frontier shall be reduced to conform with the rates of duty on imports by the Baltic Sea and that no new tariff be introduced discriminating in favor of imports by sea.
The German Government on its part binds itself not to introduce on any frontier of the German Empire different or more favorable customs duties than on its eastern frontier.
To Article 6.
The German Federal Council will not avail itself at any time during the life of the present treaty of its prerogative to revoke the pormission given for establishing mixed warehouses for grain in transit at Königsberg, Danzig, Altona, Mannheim, and Ludwigshafen.
To Articles 6, 7, and 11.
When the agricultural and industrial products of a third Power which are transported through the territory of one of the contracting parties, are imported into the other country, they shall not be subject to payment of other or higher duties than if they had been imported directly from the country of their origin.
To Articles 6 to 9.
The Russian Government declares itself prepared to accept German gold coins in payment of customs duties, at the exchange rate of 1,000 Marks gold for 462 Roubles (1 Rouble=1/15 Imperial). The Russian custom houses will accept German Imperial Bank Notes at the same rate of exchange in payment of customs duties.
To Articles 6 and 7.
In respect to the importation of goods, which are subject according to their country of origin to different customs duties, the contracting parties reserve the right to demand certificates of origin as evidence of domestic production or manufacture. Both parties will take care that the above certificates shall restrict trade as little as possible.
To Article 12.
In order to exercise in Russia the right provided for by Paragraph 1 of Article 12, the persons there mentioned shall be provided with special trade certificates, government fee for which shall not exceed 150 Roubles for a whole year and 75 Roubles for the second half of the year.
If persons provided with the said trade certificates desire to exercise the right stipulated in Paragraph 1 of Article 12, through commercial travelers in their employ, the latter shall be provided with special personal trade certificates, the fee for which must not exceed 50 Roubles for a whole year or 25 Roubles for the second half of a year.
Trade certificates, provided for by paragraph 1 of the present regulation, may be issued in the names of persons going to Russia, and in this case such persons do not need to provide themselves with personal trade certificates.
With the issuing trade certificates and the collecting of fees for same, no distinction will be made between those professing the Christian and the Hebrew religions.
In so far as the importation of firearms into Russia is not prohibited, German merchants may bring with them samples of such weapons, but only under the express condition that these merchants submit to all general and local regulations which are or will be in force regarding firearms.
To Article 14.
The contracting parties reserve to themselves the right of concluding a special agreement regarding navigation and rafting on inland waters which directly or indirectly connect both countries. Until the conclusion of this agreement German vessels, their crews, and German raftsmen on Russian inland waterways, and Russian vessels, their crews, and Russian raftsmen on German inland waterways may engage in towing and commercial navigation, including the transportation of passengers as well as rafting under the same conditions as the natives themselves.
German vessels bound for Russia on inland waterways which connect both countries, intending to return to Germany, are admitted into Russia without having to pay import duty or making a deposit as security for same.
The time within which such vessels must return to Germany is two years from the day of their arrival in Russia. Should a vessel be sold in Russia or remain there more than two years, the corresponding import duty must be paid. Should the vessel be detained, owing to circumstances beyond the captain's control, such as low waterlevel, average demanding considerable repairs, and other similar reasons, the above-mentioned period must be extended. Import duties are not levied should the vessel be lost through fire or wreck.
No fees shall be paid for certificates stipulating the re-exit of vessels or payment of import duties.
The certificate of the ship's gauge will be deposited with the Russian customs authorities for the term of the vessel's stay in Russia.
To Article 20.
The contracting parties will support each other, as far as possible, in the question of railroad tariffs, in particular by means of establishing through freight tariffs. Such through freight tariffs should be established to facilitate the export from Russia, as well as as the import to Russia, in accordance with the demands of trade, particularly regarding the German ports, Danzig (Neufahrwasser), Königsborg (Pillau), and Memel.
In respect to the articles which in the Russian railroad tariff are classified under grain, also in regard to flax, hemp and wood, freight tariffs from Russian stations of departure to the above-named ports shall be drawn up and distributed among German and Russian railways participating in the transportation, in accordance with the present regulations regarding Russian railways leading to the ports of Libau and Riga, or such regulations as may be subsequently introduced. The same holds good in the case of re-forwarding. Extra charges which may be collected in addition to the freight tariff rates shall be drawn up in the same manner and the total, in agreement with Russian regulations, shall be divided among the railroads concerned; in this connection, an agreement has been arrived at, to the effect that only one frontier tax shall be collected, divided equally between the Russian and German lines leading to the frontier.
The special provisions for regulating competition between Königsberg and Danzig which are now in force shall remain so.
Tariff favors granted on German or Russian railways to goods imported by sea, must, at the demand of the interested Government, be granted by railways leading from the frontier to similar products over the rail stretch lrom the frontier station to the receiving station. In this case the extent of the favors granted per kilometer or per verst in traffic across the inland frontier, should be the same as in traffic through sea ports.
No distinction, especially in respect to tariff rates, is to be made in regard to the nationality of the importing vessels of the contracting parties, in case the imported goods are further transported by rail or by inland waterways.
The Russian Government will see to it that railway freight tariffs, for transportation from Russia to Germany of phosphorites and other phosphates, as well as ores, in force until 1 August, 1914, should not be increased to a greater extent than corresponds to the general average increase of the Russian railway tariffs in proportion to distances in the same way as these were used as a basis of the tariffs in question prior to 1 August /19 July, 1914. At the request of the German Government, the sea tariffs will be applied to new stations of departure and destination.
The contracting parties agree, that in regard to railway matters, mutual trafhc relations between Germany and Russia shall be the same as before the war, and that disadvantages, which might result from the subdivision of the Russian railway system into independent railway systems,will be as far as possible removed. To this end both parties are prepared to concur in a convention, binding on the railways of Germany, Russia, and the States and administered territories which have detached themselves from the Russian Empire, to regulate in this sense the stipulations contained in Article 20 of the present treaty and in this concluding protocol, and especially to reestablish the continuity of railway tariffs, existing before the war, for communication with the ports of the Baltic Sea, the Black and the Azoff Seas.
PART SECOND.
TO THE CUSTOMS REGULATIONS.

Both parties agree that the custom houses of both countries shall remain open every day of the year, except Sundays and legal holidays.

§ 9
Storage on imported goods shall he collected by the Russian customs authorities only for the exact time the goods were in storage in the customs warehouses beginning from the fourth day after the customs examination began.
However, the period for which no storage charges are made shall be limited by the time allowed in each custom house for declaring imported goods, that is, 5 to 14 days, with the addition of the 3 days provided for in paragraph 1 preceding.
§ 10.
As long as this Treaty remains in force, the Russian Government binds itself not to alter in any way the stipulations of Articles 15 and 16 of the Berne Convention of 14 October, 1890,1 which regulate the sender's right to dispose of the goods.

9 February 2022
MUNICH – EGUsphere, the innovative Open Access repository created by the European Geosciences Union and its publishing partner Copernicus, is growing! For the first time authors will be able to upload preprints to the online resource, taking advantage of EGU’s pioneering public peer-review process, whilst preparing their papers for future release. This move to consolidate EGU’s publications resources emphasises the Union’s commitment to Open Access Publishing and provides access to everyone who would like to engage with cutting edge geosciences research at all stages of the publications process.
EGUsphere is an online platform designed to increase visibility, boost discussion and promote collaboration within the Earth, planetary and space science community. It serves as a central repository for all EGU publications, as well as the abstracts and presentations from the Union’s various scientific meetings. This centralised organisation is combined with the innovative, Open Access and transparent review process that EGU has pioneered, to provide an interactive and accessible space for leading research in the geosciences.
“The addition of preprints to EGUsphere is an exciting development for the Earth, planetary and space science community and the culmination of a long road for us at EGU,” says EGU Vice-President Alberto Montanari, who pioneered the initiative. “I hope researchers around the globe will take advantage of this new format to openly present and discuss their research. EGUsphere is an important step forward towards more accessible, and greener, networking.”
Authors will be able to submit a preprint in one of two ways; either aimed at publication in one of EGU’s 19 scientific journals, or not (immediately) targeting journal publication. If a preprint is submitted intending to be published in an EGU journal it is shepherded through the publication process, from the initial upload stage, by the Editors of the journal selected. If a preprint is uploaded, but is not immediately intended to undergo full peer review for an EGU journal, it is assigned to a preprint moderator for assessment, before being added to EGUsphere where it can be commented on by both the community and by authors. All initial preprint submissions are free, with processing charges being applied later if the paper is taken through to final publication in one of EGU’s journals. To encourage collaboration with other digital geoscience repositories, EGUsphere also accepts preprints for potential journal publication from non-EGU preprint servers, as long as they have been assigned a DOI.
To ensure scientific standards, all preprints not submitted specifically to a journal for immediate publication will be screened by EGUsphere’s moderators. The important role of EGUsphere preprint moderators is fulfilled by Early Career Scientists, thus bringing extra value to this large and dynamic community in the Union. “Often we hear from Early Career Scientists that there is a barrier to making the step from author, to editor, to executive editor, which can come from a lack of clear avenues,” said Susanne Buiter, EGUsphere coordinator. “By recruiting Early Career Scientists to be EGUsphere moderators we saw an opportunity to bridge that gap of experience and provide support to researchers wanting to learn more about these new roles.”
“This addition of preprints to EGUsphere really emphasises EGU’s commitment to disseminating scientific research” added EGU Publications Committee Chair, Barbara Ervens. “Building on EGU’s 20 years of experience in open access publishing and public peer review, we are very excited to see the increasing diversity of options to share research that will be discussed as a result of this new initiative.”
Preprints at EGUsphere join the permanent archives of abstracts and presentations uploaded as display materials to the annual General Assembly and other meetings, as well as linking and expanding the online libraries of EGU’s 19 highly ranked journals, all of which are available Open Access.

Japan Solar Energy – Future Growth driven by METI and 7 Zaibatsus

Solar Energy in Japan has a long future dating back to 1994 when the government introduced capital subsidies to boost solar energy installations on rooftops.Till 2004,Japan was the largest solar market in the world after which it was overtaken by Germany.After 2004,the growth in the solar industry tapered off as the government reduced the subsidies for solar panels to almost zero.The huge domestic market gave rise to Japanese companies like become top solar panel producers in the world.However the low cost Chinese solar module producers have pushed back most of the Japanese companies.Since the last year,the Japanese government has again started giving generous solar subsidies and feed in tariff to boost the renewable energy production in the country which remains far off targets.This has led Japan to become the top non-European market after USA and the growth seems set to continue in the future as well.Japan has relatively low installations costs and is much nearer to grid parity.Also lack of wind energy makes solar energy more attractive as a renewable energy choice.While large scale solar installations in Japan are almsot absent,there remain large numbers of rooftop solar installations.
Top Japanese Solar Companies
1) Sharp – Sharp,the Japanese Zaibatsu known more for its Electronics Products is also the world’s No 1 Company in terms Solar Module Revenues.Sharp has been the solar world leader since the past 4-5 years despite stiff competition recently from upcoming Chinese Crystalline Solar (c-Si) players and Thin Film Leader First Solar
Sharp’s c-Si division is not cost competitive with the Chinese and Taiwanese companies as its cost structure is almost 30-40% higher than the cheapest Chinese producers.Though the quality of Sharp’s crystalline silicon modules is considered much better,the cost difference has become too big in a rapidly commoditizing industry
While companies like Masdar are abandoning their Thin Film plans,Sharp has started shipping a-Si modules from its 1 GW capacity plant in Sakai.With its established distribution strengths and technological abilities in LCD Technology,Sharp is one company that can survive the c-Si onslaught.
2) Sanyo-Panasonic – Sanyo plans to invest more than 70% of its total investment over the next 3 years in its renewable energy and energy storage segments.Sanyo has never been as successful in the hyper competitive electronics market as other Japanese companies like Sony or Sharp.However its lithium batteries and solar panels possess cutting edge technology.Its solar panels with proprietary HIT technology rival the best in terms of efficiency and quality.
Panasonic after acquiring Sanyo has completely changed its strategy to become a major Green Player targeting a Major Percentage of Sales in the future to come from Green Products.Panasonic which is the world’s biggest Plasma TV producer is going to spend $1 Billion on Green Building investments.Panasonic will combine its Green Strengths with Sanyo’s to sell a complete Eco-Friendly Home complete with Solar Power,LED Lighting and Energy Storage and Efficiency capabilities.In Solar where Panasonic is the No. 3 player in Japan behind Sharp and Kyocera ,it is speeding up the expansion of solar capacity.It will spend more than $500 million aiming to triple its energy solutions business in Europe to 800 Million Euros by 2016.
3) Kyocera – Kyocera is Japan’s second largest solar panel producing company.The company recently won a major contract to build a solar farm in Thailand.Unlike other companies it has been slow off the blocks and unless it perks up its game,it is likey to become a even smaller company in the global scheme of things.
4) Mitsubishi – Mistubishi is another old time Japanese solar company which has a low profile solar module and system business.The company is known for its high quality panels and has a decent presence in USA and Japan.However like Kyocera it has not been aggressive enough leading to loss in marketshare.
5) Mitsui – Mitsui Engineering and Shipping,one of Japan’s huge zaibatsus is planning a foray into the solar energy market as well.The Company is being supported in its initiative by METI which will collaborate with the Tunisian government in setting up a combined gas solar hybrid plant.A 5 MW Solar CSP plant will be set up by 2013 to demonstrate the technology.The company also owns a solar system business in the US after acquiring Sunwize
6) Toshiba – Toshiba the Japanese Giant known for its Global Leadership in Nuclear Power Equipment,Electronics and Memory Businesses has decided to become a big player in the Solar EPC business.This strategy is quite different from the other global conglomerates entering the Solar Energy Field.South Korean Players like Samsung,LG,Hanwha and Hyundai are all building Crystalline Silicon Modules.Toshiba wants to enter the Smart Grid business by leveraging its experiece of the Solar EPC business.It is already in the process of building a 10 MW plant in Bulgaria and plans to generate around $2 Billion Dollars annually from US and Europe by 2015
7) Honda – Honda,the Japanese auto giant has also joined the Solar Energy Race by selling Thin Film Modules based on CIGs technology.Japan’s conglomerates like Sharp,Kyocera,Mitsubishi and Panasonic already have big solar manufacturing operations with Sharp being the largest Solar Company in the World.Honda which has a small presence in the Solar Energy through its subsidiary Honda Soltec is expanding its lines of modules for the domestic market.
8 ) Solar Frontier – Solar Frontier is a subsidiary of Showa Shell Sekiyu and is listed on the Japanese Stock Exchange.The Company has big plans for the Solar Energy Market planning to increase its capacity by more than 10 times in 2011 to around 1 Gw in total.All its 3 plants are located in Miyazaki in Japan and uses previous plasma plant of Hitachi.Solar Frontier claims 11.5% efficiency for its CIS modules which are expected to go upto 14% by 2014It has signed a distribution deal with GE to sells its Copper Indium Selenide (CIS) Panels in USA
Summary
Japan has a large electricity market and it needs to really ramp up renewable energy in order to meet Kyoto Protocol targets.With solar costs declining at a rapid pace and a strong domestic industry,Solar Energy in Japan is set for good growth in the future.The government and METI also seem to have again shifted their focus towards solar energy after 5 yeaers of hibernation.Investing in Green Industry has become the main strategy for most of the Japanese Zaibatsus and Solar Energy is arguably the most important Green Sector.

Sony Music Proudly Presents Fantasy, A Single By The Late George Michael Featuring Nile Rodgers

Artwork (PRNewsfoto/Legacy Recordings)
NEW YORK, Sept. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Sony Music announces today the release of Fantasy, a single by the late George Michael featuring Nile Rodgers. First recorded by the superstar in the late ’80s, the track was intended to be featured on George Michael’s second solo album, the multi-platinum, Listen Without Prejudice Vol.1, but was left off. It was subsequently a B-side of the U.S. release of the single, Freedom! ’90 and on the UK version of the single, Waiting For That Day in 1990. But as one of his favorite tracks, George always intended for Fantasy to be a single in it’s own right.
George went on to perform Fantasy live during his hugely successful Cover To Cover tour in 1991 and rewarded his loyal fans with the track on free cassettes placed on every seat in the venues he played during the tour. George also later performed Fantasy during his 25 Live Tour over a decade later.
In early 2016, George selected Fantasy as the single to launch the highly anticipated reissue of Listen Without Prejudice Vol.1/MTV Unplugged. He contacted hitmaker Nile Rodgers to update the track for the project and the result is an uptempo track with Nile’s signature production and George’s iconic voice and songwriting.
On October 20th, Sony Music will re-release George’s groundbreaking second solo album, Listen Without Prejudice Vol 1/MTV Unplugged. Originally released in 1990, Listen Without Prejudice Vol.1, outsold Faith in the UK. The album was produced, arranged and almost entirely written by George himself and features hits like Freedom ’90, Waiting, Praying For Time and more. The MTV Unplugged performance was recorded in London in 1996 and features career defining songs from George’s Wham! period right through to Older. George’s glittering career spanned four decades and he has sold 120 million albums.

PAST AND PRESENT: WHOSE TRADITION IS WHOSE? All of this year’s Past and Present events involve contemporary poets responding to the work of modernist poets. This event takes a slightly different angle by inviting Yang Lian and Adnan Al-Sayegh, two poets from non-Western literary traditions, to respond to the importance and challenges of drawing upon this (white, western) tradition in their own work. Is modernism relevant for them? Why and how? And what obstacles come between them and drawing upon such traditions? How do these influences interact with different cultural influences? Adnan Al-...

TRANSLATING GILGAMESH. This reading will present three contrasting approaches to rewriting the Epic of Gilgamesh, originally written in Akkadian in the late 2nd millennium BC. Iraqi poet Adnan Al-Sayegh will read (with translations from Jenny Lewis) from Let Me Tell You What I Saw (Seren 2020) and from his epic poem Uruk’s Anthem, which he wrote while a conscripted soldier, and later a detainee, in the Iran-Iraq war. Both draw upon Gilgamesh. Jenny Lewis’s interest in Gilgamesh sets out from a sense of culture as permanently unstable and open to different contested interpretations. In ...

Alright, New Dork Review readers — my very literary future is in your hands. I need your help, your advice, and perhaps, your condolence. I'm teetering on the edge of doing something I never thought I'd do, of committing an act so heinous to my snooty literary alter-ego, it may never forgive me. After all, there are two types of readers: Those who read fantasy novels, and those who don't. And if I do this, I'll cross a literary bridge; and there's no going back. Ever.
Yes, I'm very seriously considering reading The Song of Ice and Fire series.
Before you stop reading and write an exclamation-point laden reply about how good the series is, understand this: I know it's good. People love it. I get it. And what's more, I know the series on HBO is good, too (though I didn't watch it).
So, given that everyone and their step-brother loves this series, I'm really curious about what all the hype is about. Indeed, I want to be back in the "in" crowd again. Though, I will say, it's a strange world we live in when feeling the need to read a fantasy series is what makes you "cool." But, here we are. And besides, we're all too old to care about what's cool and what's not, aren't we? AREN'T WE?!
And reading outside your comfort zone is the mark of a well-rounded, open-minded reader, right?
As you can see, I'm still trying to talk myself into it. Help me out. Post below and tell me why you loved the series. Help beat down the literary snob in me who is putting up the last degree of resistance.
(Or, maybe, tell me why you didn't love the books. I've heard very, very few negatives about the series — generally, the comments range from thorough enjoyment to orgasmic gushing.)

Hokay. I can totally make this argument. I used to be like you. I was a non-fantasy reader. I didn't even read Tolkien. I worked in a bookstore, I knew about the mouth-breathers that read fantasy.
But my manager at the time said to me, "Rachel, this is literature wearing a fantasy-shaped cloak. The driving point of the series is the characters and the plot. It is not the fantasy. It's literature that happens to take place in a fantastical setting."
And he's right. I read the first three (haven't had time to read #4 and #5) and was completely hooked. It's still the ONLY high fantasy series I've ever read.
I'll tell you what my manager told me. Read the first 50 pages of the first book, and if you don't love it, stop. No harm, no foul. But I think you'll do what I did. Read the first 50 pages, and immediately go out and buy every book in the series. It is that good.

Mouth-breathers = HA! That's what people from Illinois disparagingly call people from Wisconsin, too - by the way.
Anyway - your manager's advice echoes what a couple of friends of mine have said, as well. It's "fantasy" in name alone.
The only problem with your 50-page advice, is that if I read 50 pages, I'll be compelled by my OCD anti-DNF stance to finish. ;)

Yes, reading outside of your comfort zone is ABSOLUTELY the mark of a well-rounded, open-minded reader! I really liked this series (didn't LOVE LOVE LOVE it, but really liked it), and am contemplating a re-read so I remember all the details and plotlines before reading the fifth book (which is now a year old). It's worth reading, really, just to be, as you said, part of the "in" club, and also because it IS very good.
Other reasons to add to your pro-reading arsenal:
1) It is actually very low-fantasy (think much heavier on the political/family drama stories than the magic/dragons stories). Magic is only a teensy, tinsy little piece of the whole series, let alone the first book.
2) Martin is a bit of a baller, and sometimes totally flouts the rules of fiction, such as they are. He also spares readers no detail. You will be constantly astounded by this, whether you like what he does or not.
3) Martin is also a bit of a baller in his sheer ability to juggle as many storylines--and as many characters--as he does, and successfully. Even if you read only the first book, and don't like it, and decide not to read the whole series, as a reader, you have to admire this.
4) Once you've read the books, you can then watch the HBO series and judge it appropriately (although it is very well-done, and mostly true to the books).
Ok, I will stop taking up all of your comment space. Let the self-debating continue.

The idea of Martin being a "bit of a baller" is intriguing to me! I'm not sure exactly what you mean by that, but it definitely sounds like a good thing. :)
Regarding "low fantasy," I've heard these described as very Pillars of the Earth-esque - which is also a plus in my book. Agree?
Thanks for a great comment!

This series definitely has a lot of elements similar to The Pillars of the Earth, and the setting he has put together is so well crafted that even if you don't like fantasy you will enjoy this. The characters are some of the best constructed ones I have ever come across, so much so that there is not a single one of the main characters that can be called one-sided, even the "bad guys" (for lack of a better term) have something that you can admire in them, and in the words of Martin himself, "nobody is wholly evil or wholly good"

I totally agree,Martin is the type of storyteller who refuses to play it safe,or as Joe Bob Briggs would put it "anyone can die at any time". You can see a lot of parallels from history in these books(one of the inspirations for this saga is the War of the Roses)and he writes amazingly strong characters,both male and female.
I wound reading the first book before the HBO series began,and went through the next three books like lightning. Taking my time with the fifth one,since it may be awhile before we get any more but Martin is one of those rare writers that are worth waiting for.

That's all I heard about the HBO series - I think, mostly from EW - that main characters kept dying. I love a story-teller who isn't afraid to shock.
And yeah, one of my friends who's been a fan since the start of the series was practically beside herself in the years leading up to the 5th book as the rummor mill was in full effect.
If I start now, I can probably get to the fifth one just about the time the sixth one comes out - in 2015 or whatever. ;)

The series has its ups and downs, certainly, but the fantasy element is far less significant than the political intrigue (hence the title). The first three books are definitely must-reads, but the last two slow down a lot, so if you commit, be prepared for some slogging. However, regarding your statement about being au courant, I would liken reading the GoT series to reading the LotR in the '50s or '60s. You'll have something kind of cool but embarrassing that you can get your (by then grown) kids hooked on later. Also, there's lots of sex, violence, and other juicy stuff, so you might feel a little dirty reading it, but I never felt like a fantasy nerd, for what it's worth.
Have you read Tolkien? Or the Hunger Games? GoT is similarly transcendent of genre.

I know this is not the point Stephen was making, but I must make sure it is clear that The Hunger Games and The Game of Thrones are nowhere on the same level. Not even in the same hemisphere. Just want to be clear that "similarly transcendent of genre" does not mean the two should be compared on any other level, especially regarding quality of writing. I've only read the first GoT, but I was intellectually captivated as well as fully entertained. I could gush (with LOTS of exclamation points and capslock!!!!!), but I will just echo what Rachel's boss said about literature in fantasy-shaped clothes. The multitude of characters is not only impressive; you will admire and despise them fully. It is not a mile wide and an inch deep.

You could always give the first book in the series a shot. If you aren't enjoying it then skip the rest. Then it's not a total loss. I bought the first book in the Hunger Game series with the same intent. I haven't started it yet, but if I hate it then it's just one book that bites the dust, not three, or in your case, four. :)

I felt the same as you! In the end it wasn't the recommendations and raving reviews but the excellent HBO TV series that persuaded me.
Even if you only read A Game of Thrones to get to know Tyrion, it'll be worth it. He is one of the wittiest, rudest characters that I have ever had the joy to read about, making the book thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining - even if the rest of the book is not your sort of thing.

Interesting. Been a long time reader here (not so much commenter) but I didn't know you didn't like fantasy! Well, to each his own as I always say.
I feel like A Game of Thrones is really not THAT fantasy-ish ala LOTR or HP. It's more of those combined with King Arthur and Robin Hood and Spartacus or something. Weird combination, but it works, I think.
I would suggest you watch the show. A lot of people seem to enjoy it. Maybe if you do too, you'd get a feel of how you would think of the book :) Good luck!

Given my love for Lev Grossman's MAGICIANS series, I don't think I can say that I don't read fantasy anymore, but these feel like a horse of a totally different color. I'm thinking about it, too, but I sort of feel like I don't want to embark on it until all the books are out so that if I do fall in love, I won't have to wait decades for the next book. Interested to see how you shake out on this!

I know absolutely what you mean - as Rachel described it yesterday, it's "literary blue balls" having to wait for the next book, and not just in this series - ANY series. That's why I still haven't read The Passage, or Ken Follett's new (well, relatively new, now) book - waiting is the hardest part!

I love reading fantasy novels, but I wouldn't touch A Song of Ice and Fire with a barge pole as it stands at the moment. This isn't because I think it's going to be bad (actually, I'm certain I'll love it), but because I refuse to invest my time and energy into starting a series which may never be finished. It took six years for the most recent book to be completed, and the gaps in between the books have grown each time. Martin is not exactly a spry young thing and I'm not prepared to run the risk of him not managing to reach the end of the series. Even if he does get all the books written, going by his current rate of publication it's going to be another twelve years before the final book is available, and there's no way I'm going to remember what happened in book one by then if I read it now.
There are a lot of excellent fantasy series in the same vein as A Song of Ice and Fire (light on the fantasy, heavy on the moral ambiguity) which are already completed and don't entail a frustratingly long wait. I'd recommend The First Law Trilogy by Joe Abercrombie. When Martin has written the final book in the series I'll dive into them headfirst and no doubt enjoy devouring them, but for now they're not for me.

That's an interesting perspective - I guess I knew that Martin was unusual in that he took a long time between novels, but I hadn't thought of the fact that he may never finish. Do you know how many novels there are supposed to be in the series, or is it an indeterminate number?

I'd like to add that if you do start this series, you can take your sweet time with it. As Katie and Rebecca touched on, Martin's notoriously irresponsible in getting each next book out as promised (I'm surprised no fan has tried to pull a "Misery" on this guy) so everyone's playing the waiting game, anyway. Just show up late to that.
I only crack them open during my daily break at work. You'd think that slow pace would throw my reading out of whack, but Martin is rather accommodating --he repeats himself so thoroughly and so often that every other chapter might as well include a section called "Previously on A Game of Thrones."
So there. I'm saying you should read it for reasons why you shouldn't.

I agree with Brenna--give the first book a shot. It's a fun read, if nothing else. I read the first two and was entertained but not overwhelmed. If you are considering the series because you want to join into the current energy around it, then the world is well-imagined, the characters are interesting, and the whole notion of the Wall and Winter are definitely cool. Literature, this is not. The world has consistent rules up to a point, and there are definitely consequences that cannot be undone (two of my bigger reservations about reading fantasy), but as with a lot of fantasy, the world itself doesn't actually seem functional once you look past all of the royal intrigue and whatnot. As an avowed science fiction fan, I readily admit that my biases get in the way of fairly evaluating this series--but I do also think there's much better fantasy out there. Tad Williams' Dragonbone Chair series is excellent if you are looking for something a bit more sophisticated. And I do agree with Katie about the dangers of starting a series that has no certain conclusion. My feeling from the first two books is that Martin is writing his world outward in larger and larger narrative spirals, a bit like (but nowhere nearly as daunting) as when Robert Jordan was in the midst of the Wheel of Time series. I only have so much time to read, and I gave up on GoT because I don't know that the story, as cool as it is, will really end.

Entertained but not overwhelmed would be a win in my book. But thanks for a thoughtful, reasonable comment. There is a little to the "keeping up with the literary Jones" (after all, that's the one and ONLY reason I read Dan Brown) idea, but it's certainly not an overwhelming factor. Like you, my major hesitation isn't that they're fantasy novels, it's that we don't know when or if they'll end.

My son has been raving about this series for a while. I think he's starting the fourth book now. But he loves fantasy, graphic novels, grew up with Harry Potter. On the other hand, two of his favorite books from when he was younger are "The Call of the Wild" and "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" so I think that it's safe to say he's a well-rounded reader which makes me think I should give this series a try. Still, I've kind of felt the same was as you do. I can't sell them or bash them but I'll be watching to see what you choose to do. That might just be the deciding factor for me!

Greg, I'm probably the very last person on the planet who hasn't read this series. So, I'm with you right now in reading books; I haven't read it so I'm currently wondering if I should. If I was you - seeing this year is the Year of the Dragon and 2012 (the year of everything all Willy Wonka on everyone spiritually), take the leap of faith and read the books.
Hey, I'm reading Margaret Atwood's 'Oryx and Crake'... and yeah, it's a weird ol' ride at the moment on page 45; but it's also reminding me of 'The Bee-Loud Glade' by Steve Himmer (which is a relief because I found that a little slow in the beginning too). Anyway, seeing I've taken the leap of faith with Margaret's work, take it with Fantasy... once you do, you'll understand something about it: there's more than one type of Fantasy and it's not all the same. :D
Jump in, read and enjoy the ride! :D

In the end, it all comes down to you, and your taste, doesn't it, no matter what anyone says.
I love fantasy, and I also have a thing for fat paperback series. I can't explain why. The boxed set of GoT was too tempting not to buy. It appeals to me.
I watched the show first, the first season, anyway, because when I tried the first few pages of the first book, I didn't like the writing all that much, and I still wanted to know what everyone was on about. At the risk of sounding ultra snobby, the writing was...not as well written as I wanted, not as literary so much as more popular-fiction-sounding. (Yikes. Maybe I should hide now.)
But as I will with Ken Follet's Pillars of the Earth (which I've tried to like three times so far because I love the idea and can't like because the writing is amateur-sounding to me), I'll try again. I want to see what others are seeing, the political aspects, the richness of the characters. The show was good, albeit super preoccupied with sex, so now I'm even more interested in reading the books. I want to be able to let go of the snobbiness when I read and get lost in a world populated with intriguing people and driven by compelling action, as others have.
And then sometimes I think, but is my snobbiness or preference, my taste, really all that bad a thing? I'll try anything, but I won't lower my expectations, I guess. Or rather my personal standards. So I'll read it. I may not like the writing, but if the story is compelling, I'll continue. It does really piss me off that he's taking an age to write the series, though. Sometimes those fat paperbacks could use some aggressive editing and maybe this series suffers from long-windedness, as someone else suggested. Maybe he could have finished this already... Alternatively, maybe I'll be done the series before he is, so then there's nothing to worry about.
One more thing! The whole "should" I read this bugs me! Do it if you want to. But I won't think less of you if you don't, if you're not in with the crowd. You're still a great reader and reviewer if you never read it or finish it, as I'm still a CanLit lover even if I can't much stand Alice Munro. :)

Re, the writing - well, it's hard to imagine any series of such massive size would really be a literary powerhouse. That said, I didn't mind Follett's writing - I guess I didn't notice it as bad or good enough to be a distraction or to be worth commenting on. I just thought he was excellent at immersing readers in hi story. "Should" is meant very tongue in cheek - no, of course, no other readers should judge you on your own reading.

I took the "read 50 pages and see what you think" approach and checked the first one out at the library instead of buying the whole series like I would normally do. I'm glad I did, because 50 pages was all I could handle. I thought the writing was awful, and I just couldn't get in to the story. Nothing grabbed me, and I just kept making fun of the writing and calculating how much further I had to go to make it to 50 pages. I'm usually a bit OCD about finishing books as well, but I think forcing myself to establish the limit before hand helped. That and the fact I had no desire to keep going. I've heard so many great things about these from people whose tastes are similar to mine, so I was surprised. I also didn't care for The Magicians, which I read around the same time. I don't read much fantasy, although I love Harry Potter and The Hunger Games, and enjoyed the Lord of the Rings although they dragged quite a bit in places. I normally go for more literary fiction and classics and don't read much young adult fiction outside of the two series I mentioned, both of which I felt were worth it. I did really like The Hunger Games. The writing isn't the best ever, but it has an entertaining story and great characters. Maybe I didn't give Game of Thrones enough of a chance, but my advice would be to just try it and set your OCD aside and aim to just read 50 pages and stop if you don't like it!

A dissenter! I like it - thanks for your input. Regarding the writing in these, I tend to think that, because we know it's not literary fiction, the writer gets a little leeway in exchange for fast-paced story.
I'll take your advice - try it on a trial basis! ;)

I think that if you like the books you'll still be surprised, not because it's what's supposed to happen, but because you found something outside of your comfort zone that really appealed to you and that might lead to reading some other stuff outside your comfort zone (and I don't mean just fantasy), but if you don't like it then no real harm done, you just reinforced your comfort zone and will continue reading the kind of things you have been reading with probably a renewed love for them, just because you tried something different and didn't like it. So no matter what you think of the book (or books if you read the whole series) I think this can be a very enlightening experience for you either way.
As to The Hunger Games, which somehow ended up in the same conversation as A Song of Ice and Fire, I read all three of them and found them increasingly worse, and increasingly disappointing. They could have evolved so much better, with the characters maturing instead of becoming a repetition of themselves with no real development.

Yeah, I like the idea of trying them to be a more well-rounded reading - and, as you say, enjoying something that's outside of my comfort zone. Thanks for the input on The Hunger Games - no real desire at all to even attempt those.

Oh, boy! I was once where you are--curious about the series, fearful of descending into the world of fantasy. (I'd never even read The Hobbit.)
But A Song of Ice and Fire is good. Martin crafts incredibly complex characters and an entrancing plot. His fiction is among the best I have ever read.

I downloaded the sample of the first one and was interested enough at the end to continue reading. I ripped through the first book - the drama and the twists kept it ticking along at a furious pace, the political intrigue was intense verging on confusing and the characters were interesting although not all likeable. In fact very few were truly likeable. I put it down and declared that it was a damn good read.
Then I tried to write a review about it. And couldn't. And I haven't been inspired to pick up the next book either. So make what you will of that - even I'm not sure what it really means.

Hi Greg-
This is Meredith, Chris' sister. We were just talking about books that he needed to read and I mentioned The Art of Fielding and then told him that he should also start on Game of Thrones. And then he told me about your blog and now here I am.
I am the anti-fantasy reader. The only thing that I have read outside of my comfort zone was the Ender's Game series. God help you if you haven't read that series. You won't eat for the 2 weeks that it takes you to read the 5 or 6 books.
All I have to say is Find. The. Time. I bought the first Game of Thrones book for my husband who is a huge nerd and the slowest reader known to mankind. He tore through it. So, naturally, being a middle child and having to get in on the action, I picked it up. The imagery is amazing, the novel is well written and the story (so far -- I've only read one book) isn't about ghouls and goblins. Its about families and life struggles and love and war and foreign lands all with fantastical elements to it. The only reason I haven't picked up the second is because my slow-reading husband is only 550 pages into it.
I'm interested to hear about what you love/hate about it.
Good luck!
Mere

Philadelphia Union vs New York City FC Preview, Predictions, Betting Picks: Profit from Lack of Goals
June 24, 2022 by Bradley Gibbs
Eastern Conference’s big boys clash as Philadelphia Union host New York City FC at Subaru Park on Sunday in the MLS (6pm ET; TV: Live on Fox Sports). Both teams will be looking to extend what are already impressive unbeaten runs, while both go in search of the winning thread having tied last time out.
It’s hard to criticize the efforts of the Philadelphia Union this term. They’re just a point off top spot in the east, while they come into this fixture unbeaten in five. If we were to be super critical of Sunday’s hosts, or at least if we were to highlight where they’ve not done so well of late, then we’d have to pick up on the fact that though they are very hard to beat, they have started to struggle to get their noses in front, tying four of their last five. As a result, they have slipped ever so slightly from what was a very lofty perch, now sitting third, a point behind the visitors, who currently occupy top spot.
While Philly have stuttered a tiny bit in recent weeks, being held on a few occasions when they were expected to get the job done, NYCFC have picked up the pace, winning four of their last five Major League Soccer fixtures. OK, they were halted by the Rapids last time out, tying 1-1 in front of a home crowd, but that is the only blemish on an otherwise perfect recent record. It’s probably fair to say that right now, the squad from the Big Apple is the team to beat in the east.
Still going strong at home
There is just one team in the Eastern Conference to remain unbeaten on home soil and that team is the Philadelphia Union, who have won three and tied five at Subaru Park. Sure, it’s a bit disappointing that they’ve been held as many times as they have, but they’ve built foundations from which to build.
Why are they unbeaten? Defensive strength. Only four times has Andre Blake been breached in the Philly goal at home, keeping a clean sheet in four out of eight. Not only have Sunday’s hosts kept the goals down to a minimum, but they’ve also prevented teams from creating too much, conceding an average of just 0.82 expected goals.
Mixed bag on the road
NYCFC may be the best in the business as things stand in the east, but their away record is patchy. Fortunately, they have won each of their last two on the road, beating D.C. United and Minnesota, though they have won only two out of five, while an average of four goals scored during that time is hardly inspiring.
Defensively, they’ve been sturdy, conceding only three times, keeping a clean sheet in three out of five, including in each of their last two. While New York City FC have not been prolific winners, the boys in sky blue can keep teams quiet which, as their league position points out, clearly counts for something.
Lack of home wins
Somewhat strangely, home teams haven’t exactly enjoyed themselves in this fixture in recent times. There’s been no home win in three, with both Philly and NYCFC winning away from home once each during that time. Only one of the last seven renewals of this fixture has gone the way of the hosts.
Five of the other six have been won by the visiting team. When the pair met earlier this campaign, it was the Union who emerged victorious, winning by two goals to nil at Yankee Stadium. For those interested in trends, the goals have often shied away from this fixture in recent times, with only one of the last six renewals producing more than two goals. Both teams have scored in just one of those six too.
Goals to stay away
If we look at the betting lines with the chief stateside sports betting sites and sportsbooks ahead of this game, on the moneyline, there’s little between the pair, and that seems about right. We are talking about two of the best in the division right now, and both are hard to get the better of so a solid case can’t really be made for either at the current odds. However, a case can be made for ‘Under 2.5 Goals’.
For starters, Philadelphia’s relative success at home has been largely built on a solid defensive effort, as opposed to an explosive attacking one. As a result, plenty of low-scoring games have taken place at Subaru Park. In fact, all of the Major League Soccer games that the Union have played on home soil this season have contained less than three goals. Similarly, four of NYCFC’s five traveling fixtures in MLS this term have produced a maximum of two goals.
Along the same lines, ‘Both Teams to Score – NO’ appeals too. As touched on already in this preview, with predictions, in recent times it has been a rare occasion that this pair both get on the scoresheet, while neither have carved out a habit of both scoring and conceding in their respective home and away games this season.
Both Teams have scored in just one of NYCFC’s five away games, while Philly have scored and conceded in only 50% of their home games. The fact that we’re talking about the two best teams in the Eastern Conference in terms of xG against only strengthens the claims of a game that lacks goals.
So our MLS matchup predictions for this Philly vs NYCFC preview conclude with these two betting picks suggestions:
Under 2.5 goals @ best odds of -118 with Bovada.
Both Teams to Score – NO @ a biggest price of +110 with BetOnline.

Contributed by Cathleen M. Fry, Dallas R. Mosier, ny of our Chemistry Club members have never heard of green chemistry, but it doesn’t stay that way for long. Green chemistry is an integral part of the SFU lab culture. For the majority of the Chemistry Club members, our initial exposure to green chemistry was in our very first laboratory activity of general chemistry. Along with the safety introduction, the instructor outlined the Principles of Green Chemistryi and we completed an activity using M&Ms to learn about E-factorii . Most of the SFU faculty also practices green chemistry principles in their own research labs. Their focus has been on using less toxic chemicals and producing less waste. While green chemistry was practiced in the laboratory, we, as a club, had a difficult time distinguishing green chemistry practices from sustainability.
At the 2015 ACS National Meeting in Denver, CO, we watched other Green Chemistry Student Chapters receive their awards, but we could only observe since we didn’t earn it that year. The club was upset, and we didn’t understand why we hadn’t received an award for green chemistry. Upon returning to campus and reviewing the Green Chemistry guidelines on the ACS website, we realized that our aim was off target; we had been focusing on sustainability activities and not green chemistryiii . While performing sustainability activities, such as checking the water quality of a local lake, are commendable community activities, they do not teach or train someone how to develop less wasteful methods in the chemistry laboratory. In order to earn a Green Chemistry award, a chemistry club must ensure that the activity is directly connected to one of the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry or the Design Principles of Sustainable & Green Chemistry and Engineering. Green chemistry awards focus on lab practices and educational outreach on Green Chemistry principles while sustainability initiatives focus on activities such as environmental monitoring or road cleanups. Using the information from the ACS GCI, we were able to focus our chemistry club activities towards the Green Chemistry guidelines – and hopefully earn some Green Chemistry awards!
To begin the academic year in the spirit of green chemistry, the faculty and students signed an online green labs pledge to uphold the principles of green chemistry in our labs and to do their very best in promoting green chemistryiv . We also completed a SFU department and school Green Chemistry Commitment. The Commitment was a document stating that the Saint Francis University Chemistry Department would follow the principles of green chemistry and ensure that each laboratory used green chemistry as much as possiblev . The agreement was signed by Dr. Rose Clark, the Chemistry Department Chair, and Dr. Charles MacVean, Dean of the School of Sciences.
Another major project that our student chapter has worked on is a green chemistry poster. The poster was created by the four chemistry club officers and enhanced by asking faculty where they apply green chemistry principles in their everyday activities and incorporating their comments. Overall, our poster outlined the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry in a fun and creative format and included ways in which Saint Francis University upholds green chemistry principles. Our poster will be mounted outside the laboratories as a reminder of our pledge to green chemistry practices.
Our green chemistry practices at Saint Francis University are extremely beneficial to the SFU students, as they enable us to be better chemists. Green chemistry is guiding us to complete experiments with safer alternatives, eliminating unnecessary chemical waste and reducing our energy consumption. We are producing less waste and saving money. More than anything, green chemistry is teaching students at Saint Francis University to do more with less.

« Governor Cuomo Wants to Cut Teachers’ Pensions
New York Educators and Parents Strongly Object to Cuomo Agenda for Schools »
An Astonishing Editorial in “The New York Times” about “the Central Crisis in Education”
By dianeravitch
January 5, 2015 //

For the past dozen years or so, the New York Times has been a cheerleader for corporate education reform, especially testing. Its editorials have faithfully repeated the talking points of the corporate reformers who slam “failing public schools” because they have low test scores.
But something miraculous happened today: The New York Times has a strong editorial reflecting reality. Let’s be grateful for sound logic, based on fact and evidence.
The editorial gives advice to Governor Cuomo, who has recently adopted the idea of charter schools as his version of reform, while threatening teachers with punitive evaluations based on junk science and threatening their pensions:
If he is serious about the issue [education], he will have to move beyond peripheral concerns and political score-settling with the state teachers’ union, which did not support his re-election, and go to the heart of the matter. And that means confronting and proposing remedies for the racial and economic segregation that has gripped the state’s schools, as well as the inequality in school funding that prevents many poor districts from lifting their children up to state standards.
These shameful inequities were fully brought to light in 2006, when the state’s highest court ruled in Campaign for Fiscal Equity v. State of New York that the state had not met its constitutional responsibility to ensure adequate school funding and in particular had shortchanged New York City.
A year later, the Legislature and Gov. Eliot Spitzer adopted a new formula that promised more help for poor districts and eventually $7 billion per year in added funding. That promise evaporated in the recession, spawning two lawsuits aimed at forcing the state to honor it.
A lawsuit by a group called New Yorkers for Students’ Educational Rights estimates that, despite increases in recent years, the state is still about $5.6 billion a year short of its commitment under that formula.
A second lawsuit was filed on behalf of students in several small cities in the state, including Jamestown, Port Jervis, Mount Vernon and Newburgh. It says that per pupil funding in the cities, which have an average 72 percent student poverty rate, is $2,500 to $6,300 less than called for in the 2007 formula, making it impossible to provide the instruction other services needed to meet the State Constitution’s definition of a “sound basic education.”
These communities and others like them are further disadvantaged by having low property values and by a statewide cap enacted in 2011 that limits what money they are able to raise through property taxes. And last year the New York State United Teachers union said that the cap had been particularly harmful to poorer districts.
These inequalities are compounded by the fact that New York State, which regards itself as a bastion of liberalism, has the most racially and economically segregated schools in the nation. A scathing 2014 study of this problem by the Civil Rights Project at the University of California, Los Angeles, charged that New York had essentially given up on this problem. It said, “The children who most depend on the public schools for any chance in life are concentrated in schools struggling with all the dimensions of family and neighborhood poverty and isolation.”
Any serious effort to improve education must direct more resources to districts that need them and must address the racial segregation in New York’s schools.

I don’t know: does “two” make a “trend”? 🙂
The Toledo Blade, yesterday:
“If schools are to meet students’ needs, they’ll need adequate funding, both state and local….
A significant increase in school funding seems unlikely under the current administration….
Meanwhile, if state officials are serious about repairing Ohio’s economy, they can start by doing their part to repair its schools.”
REPAIR, as in “damage they did over the last 6 years”.
I’m thrilled someone noticed. Now if they could just somehow get this vital information to the huge group of people we’re paying to handle this public school stuff…

Here in Texas they are talking about restoring funding, but most of the increased funding will be shifted to learning (in other words, to the pockets of tech companies and testing companies). It is madness! Then I have to listen to my neighbors talk about how much more is being spent per student now than 5 years ago. They don’t understand that most of the money never makes its way into our over-crowded and undersupplied classrooms. We provide toilet paper, copy paper, paper towels, soap and cleaning supplies, but the increased funding will never reach our school except to purchase ipads or computer lab programs. We won’t get more teachers or aides or truly needed supplies or higher pay for teachers, etc.

I wish the editorial board of the New York Times has noted the exact minimum dollar number that they believe will ensure that every child receives a sound, basic education. When in New York City we’re at $272,000 in instructional spending alone per 20 children and a staggering $500,000 per 20 children in total DOE spending, and when in the state even the poorest districts are spending $15,000 per child (and are often located in areas where the local cost of living is much less than the NYC area), it is difficult to believe that money, per se, is the issue.
If the funding gap is created not by a spending floor in poor districts that’s too low but rather by a spending ceiling in rich districts that’s too high, then why isn’t anyone proposing drastic cuts to the high-spending districts? Is it fiscally or even morally appropriate (especially considering the ugly racial exclusion) for the rich districts to spend $30,000 or more per student? Why isn’t the Times calling for a complete overhaul to how the state funds its schools, period? And the same goes for segregation: the problem has been decades in the making, and it is largely associated with how traditional district schools are zoned and funded, and the Times wants to dump this problem in Cuomo’s lap without suggesting a single strategy to address it?
It would appear that like most “well meaning” “liberals,” the members of the Times board lose interest in meaningful solutions at the exact moment they involve the communities where they live or send their own kids to school.

Diane — do you have any ideas about what New York state should do to reduce segregation in schools?

NY State has had countless opportunities and a bottomless pit of funds to use to end the residential segregation which makes this state’s public schools so racially segregated. One key choice was to aggressively build low-income, affordable housing widely dispersed in middle and upper-income neighborhoods. NYState and NYCity had more than enough funds to do this–spending about $1.5Billion in public subsidies to build the new Yankee Stadium, the new Shea Stadium, and the new Nets home in the Barclays Arena. All this public capital subsidies could have been directed to solve the segregated housing situation which would then have led to integrated catchment school districts. NYState and NYCity could have raised their disgracefully low tax rates on the 1% to help finance smaller classes for public schools, and could have imposed a tax on stock transfers on Wall St. Instead, the public treasury was looted to finance private ventures in stadiums and in the infamous provision of public space to private charters. Economic resources to move in these directions were clearly available in the past two decades, and are still available now—private corporations and finance houses have about $4Trillion in cash on hand now. More than this can be done and could have been done but segregation and income inequality were the prime policies pursued by both political parties.

Similar story in many communities. Not in my back yard on housing, with red-lining, by financial and insurance industries, appoximating zones for schools, tax incentives and under-writing for stadiums, for corporations who promise jobs, but jump to a new state as soon as another offer sounds better. Courts keep declaring that Ohio’s school funding funding formula is illegal. Many charters are cash cows.

My bet is it would help, but some (to many) of those upper middle class parents would find private school options for their children.

Defending public education is the task abandoned by AFT, NEA, and PTA. They are the organized official representatives of school stakeholders, and they are in the pockets of the rephormy billionaires and their politicians. These org’s refused to mobilize their mass memberships to stop the hollowing-out of the public sector. Only a handful of union locals bravely opposed the cuts and the tests–Chicago(Karen Lewis), Mass.(Barbara Madeloni), Wisconsin(Bob Peterson), and teachers in Washington too. Even the Working-Families Party of NY helped re-elect Cuomo the Public School Destroyer when a viable opposition candidate was ready, Zephyr Teachout, candidate for NYS Gov. last Nov.
Teachers, parents, students, and voters are mass of stakeholders on the ground whose official leaders prevented democratic power from the bottom up stopping billionaires like Gates and Koch with their crony politicians.
The NYTimes editorial is that newspaper’s belated recognition of what’s really going on in this private war on public education.
The next good chance for democratic stakeholders to defend kids and public schools is the United Opt-Out Conf in Ft. Lauderdale Jan. 16. Parents hold the winning cards in their hands, if we refuse PARCC/SBA for our kids. The whole CCSS/TFA etc. story is a grotesque narrative of public school failure blamed on derelict teachers and selfish unions. If we refuse to let our kids take their tests, we can bring this war to a halt–no students/no test subjects/no validity.

Yes, it can. The whole private war on public schools to loot the $600Billlion+ public sector and transfer that wealth to private hands depends on the PARCC/SBA tests which can only be considered valid and credible if the great mass of public school students take them. By refusing these tests for our kids, we remove the key resource required by the private sector destroyers of public education.

Add Buffalo to NYC when you discuss inequities in NYS.
Cuomo gave his State of the State address here in Buffalo, NY at the Buffalo Historical Museum (built for the Pan Am Expo at the turn of the last century – you know, the one where President McKinley was assassinated).
He did not have kind words for the Buffalo Public Schools. We are constantly being disparaged by Albany and the Board of Regents, despite the fact that Buffalo has one of the highest poverty rates in the country. For the record, we have some fantastic schools within the Buffalo school system. It’s those “pesky” neighborhood schools with high rates of poor minority students and/or refugees and other ESL students who bring down those assessment scores when averaged in with the others.
Oh, what statistics can show when you are willing to manipulate the findings. So when a 90% (at one of the top schools in the country) is mixed in with 23% (at the International School), you get a substandard score. Go figure!
We are talking about those “leftover” students who never come to school, live a life affected by violence, and lack the family structure to support the educational values so important to those in NYS government. All they know is a life of poverty and they are comfortable with that. Algebra, History, Science, Literature, and Grammar are far down on their to do lists. Survival is foremost in their thoughts. It’s what they know.
There are exceptions. And those can be taught. The others are a challenge beyond the realm of teaching. And if those teachers who attempt the impossible are chastised and dismissed for their lack of success, I fear it will be difficult to find replacements to volunteer to attempt this “suicidal, career ending” mission.
Then again, what do I know. I’m only a retired teacher with over thirty years experience. I’ll leave the decision making to the know-it-alls who went to private schools and feel their experiences as a student makes them an expert in all-things regarding public education.

I hate to put a downer on this seeming “ray of hope” but… if title one schools receive more money will it not go directly to the “ed reform” infrastructure for their gain and not the gain of the students? There will be more testing, more data and more hired consultants to preach the latest and greatest “disruptive innovation” idea. The problem is not so much about inequitable funding in as much it is about failing to deal with poverty and allowing essential money to be misdirected through “corporate ed reform”. I fear that giving school programs (under the guise the money will be used for students) will only go to the corporate “ed reform” thieves for all things PARCC and common core among other essential corporate profitable things.

Thus the irritated complaint about throwing money at “the problem’ when neither the problem nor the solution is well defined and most certainly differs depending on those pesky variations that schools tend to show. Why can’t we just send our students through the factory, stuff them into uniform sausage casings, and spit them out ready to face the world/their masters?

Artseagal – I always wonder where the money goes. The Buffalo Public Schools has a billion dollar budget yet they are constantly crying a lack of funds, especially when teachers want a raise. There were even three years when the wages were frozen. Yet teaching positions are continually cut while administration jobs are added. Forget about supplies.
When I first started in Buffalo, several of the inner city schools had health clinics, with full time nurses and part time doctors. Vaccinations were given right in the school. Parents had a place to bring their children for medical attention. This program was cut due to lack of funding. So were many counselors, psychologists, and social workers. And the attendance officers were also eliminated, even though poor attendance is a major problem affecting student achievement. We used to have truant officers ride along with the police to round up the vagabonds skipping classes. That is no longer a priority. These changes in philosophy over the past twenty plus years has lead us to the current environment or student attitudes which our teachers must face in the classroom.
There are some excellent new programs within the schools, many of them sponsored by outside groups, but the problems faced by those living in poverty won’t be solved with a quick fix.
Reply
2old2verty won’t be solved with a quick fix.”
I so agree with you! I don’t mean to denigrate the efforts of people who choose to volunteer their time and energy toward educational programs; I, myself, tutor at a school where a majority of the std in those functions where there is profit in the short term. They are not interested in the long term benefits to society of a comprehensive social safety net or to the individuals that receive such services. It doesn’t improve their bottom line. Of course, even knowing all that, I will stick my finger in one small hole in a very leaky dyke and keep tutoring.
flos56 says:
January 6, 2015 at 9:48 pm
Ironically, 2old2teach, it is those same denigrated teachers who volunteer their time and services upon retirement because they have experienced first hand the needs of their former students.
Now how does that equate with the “lazy”, “incompetent” teacher image promoted by the government to justify layoffs?

We are naive, or blind, or good hearted to believe that anything different is going to come riding in on a white horse. We know better than to believe that edreform is about anything but smoke and mirrors, and getting the money into reformer hands, and changing the world into an oligarchy. Read about and be enlightened. “They” may never stop, and as much as “they” and their newspapers and their spokespeople and their bought politicians want to say the naysayers are conspiracy theorists and believe in aliens, the truth is as plain as the noses on our faces when we see white is white, black is black, up is up and down is down, instead of how we are being spoon fed the opposite.
It is taxation without representation. Every brick is built on the previous. Backdoor legislation, regulations, mayoral control, sidestepping elected boards, buying school board seats, funding very profitable “non-profits” – and time after time when these scum are exposed, where is the “ah-a” that it is indeed a conspiracy to control the underlings. They chose education because they are masterful at rhetoric – would you like 2 quarters or fifty cents? Sign along the dotted line if you believe in treating our teachers well —- meanwhile the peddler wants exactly the opposite. Its horrible. They are disgusting liars without conscience. I guess either it catches up to them eventually as we are seeing with all of these phony “doctors” (Carter et al.) and charters closing and anointed superintendents finally getting the boot (Deasy), but even as they leave, the narrative is “he done good; he could have done more” all the while he was a crook, liar and thief. Enough. They will never stop. Never.

How can NY citizens find out how much it is costing the state to defend a terribly politicized and inequitable system for funding schools? The state lost the CFE case–they are now attempting to delay the follow-up lawsuits knowing that it is costly for small school districts and parents to maintain their legal action. Citizens should be outraged that the state is fighting to defend the indefensible–all kids in NY State have a right to a ”
sound Basic Education.” Ask your State Senator, and Assemblyperson, “Why is New York State spending millions defending a system that denies its citizens their constitutional rights?”

I have a file of letters to Th eNew York Times editors, the publisher, and the columnists. Everything you say is true. They cover sports and business but have never assigned a journalist to dig into the essentials that make learning possible, so that they can assess the results they see (the evidence) properly.
The influence of the businessman Bloomberg as mayor forever, was apparent. Klein, who was the final ‘destructor’ that brought the schools crashing down so charters could take-over, all with the blessing and hoopla at the NY Times. Moscowitz was their heroine.
Leonie knew what the schools needed but The Times interviewed only those that fit the Duncan narrative…. and now, as the schools tank, and the anti- teacher ‘guvnur’ wants to put the city into receivership, perhaps they are looking at observable reality for a change.
(and FYI, today’s UFT news issue, shows a promise to close loopholes for foreign wealthy owners of real estate who buy but done’ use their million dollar digs, in order to create more classrooms and smaller class size!

Finally, we begin to see a few who know the truth have the courage to speak truth to power. Testing children in all the grades required in New York State wastes dear resources that need to be used to help districts with high numbers of children living in poverty. Governor Cuomo needs to identify school districts with high unemployment and decide to focus on those who need the help of government. The other school districts and communities need the state to back off and let them do what they do very well- win the support of their residents, teach and help children become self regulating learners.
The testing in New York State has improved nothing. Charter schools in the aggregate are not any better than the majority of schools in New York State.
Governor Cuomo has to stop pretending he has a solution for low scores on new state exams and admit some communities need more help than others and those communities need job training for adults, infrastructure capital improvements and jobs, better health and dental care, early childhood learning centers and sufficient financial support to reduce class size from 35 and 38 students in an elementary grade to 24 so that teachers can offer personalized instruction.
There are so many proven ways that Governor Cuomo could initiate to improve struggling communities and he has chosen to avoid all of them and look for a quick media fix. Awful state of affairs in New York.

Robert – the discrepancies have always bothered me. My children went to one of the top schools in the area and I worked in some of the worst. The differences between the two were startling. My kids school district provided full time social workers, guidance counselors, librarians, nurses, computer teachers with small class size and individual instruction for children whose reading skills needed improving, etc. The school I worked at had none of these advantages, even though these students were much needier than those In my affluent district. It is not a surprise which school district had better results (even if there were no discrepancies between the student populations).
If those who have get more, what happens to the have nots? They seem to get less.

In the face of truth –what we observe before us–are the seeds of that failure, but we should never stop our battle to prevent those seeds from flowering.
It takes brave people like you, to stand up to power, as you did with Bush, and do still with this wonderful site where the truth flourishes.
I come from a jewish family where looking at the bright side of life is a built in tenant. They would love Monty Python.
I am an optimist in many things, but as a playwright my optimism concerning the behaviors of human beings pales in the light of the facts, and the story that Mr. Moyers presented, which shows that the robber barons are at the helm, once again, but this time, they are engineering the income inequality. I.
I love stories, as I said in an earlier post, quoting Thomas Moore, whose writings I love.
I used stories in grade 2 and in grade 7 so that some ‘rumination’ could go on, and the real meanings that lie under all the chatter and chaos are as clear as day.
Have you ever read his book “On Creativity? or “Care of the Soul”, the book from which I drew that quote about souls and stories.
One thing is for sure, proven over time, when people like you refuse to stop telling the truth, then failure is assured. In 2 years you have created a space that we educators on all keels can find the truth discussed. Reflecting on what is afoot on the stage that is national education requires some serious reflection, and it goes on here.
I know. I read this site’s best work everyday. I see some angry voices, too, and oddly enough, they come not just from “trolls,’ who love their own voice an shave nothing else to do, but some very serious words come from intelligent, well-meaning people.
last night, on The Daily show, the discussion of the book “Wiser,” made it clear — research shows that people in a space become hardened in their positions, sticking gore obstinately to their belief system when faced with contradictory evidence.
Recently, here, some a person, tried tot to portray our voices as ‘pushing an idealistic agenda”. Being rooted to the tea-party ideology he assumed that what he read here was a political movement pushing an agenda. He was a middle school principal, and he came here, in his first post, to “caution” YOU, Diane.
hee, hee. Hey, I don’t write the dialogue that issue from the minds of these puffed-up imitation of a school administrators.
I am trying to say, that you are correct, Diane, we can never give up, for we are The Greater Fools”
We will prevail, because we know what learning is all about, and the people are seeing the poop on the fan. The media will follow, and hopefully some real investigative reporters will follow the leads you leave like breadcrumbs, to THE story of the century… how they did it…. how they toppled the schools in 20 years.
All that lies between us, at this stage is the participation of the media… we need a viral film, or someone that illustrates the travesty that occurred… like Ferguson exposed the reality of another abusive social injustice.
The problem is such a simple one, to me, as a student of the media.
It is the ACCESS that money buys everything, especially to the dissemination of information.
It’s all about ACCESS, NOT MONEY… the access that it buys… to the people,” said a UN worker in Afghanistan; she saw the corruption by big money, that allowed the Taliban to control the people. She said that it was “our mistake” to misunderstand what wins the people… weapons don’t win, access to the people is the key.
Broad, Walton, Gates, Koch, Murdoch (big owner in Pearson) and clones have the media. We have the internet, but there needs to be a voice that takes the STORY of our destruction, the conspiracy and the process, and puts it before the people who are begin Bamboozled.
It is time we stop talking about why we are being TOTALLY ignored as a profession, and solve the problem, and I know you believe that we can do it. THAT gives me hope.
Your voice is loud and clear and the very fact that it is not ringing from the rooftops, and instead Duncan’s narration of ‘deform’ is blasted — that shows me that we must begin in the media, and in the internet community that LISTENS here.
If anyone ‘out there’ (besides us teachers) is listening — this very week, you revealed the astonishing reality, when you reported the STORY of those folks vying for positions in Nevada’s government!
Hey, these folks (who plan to to regulate and rule the schools in that state) — are NOT educators (NOT ONE!) BUT in fact, are tied to the corporations!
Not a single educator TO RUN & DICTATE the state’s government education policy decisions.
The BEHAVIOR implicit in such a story… for a story it is — is of the P OWER of money to gain access to what the CITIZENS KNOW and thus — they have the POWER TO BUY the education of the citizens of the United States of America…
and our democracy.
Am I optimistic… well, I see a ray of sunshine that you are still doing what we Brooklyn girls do, talk truth to power, and that I get a chance to talk here, too, and maybe meet some of the people who WILL make a difference at the NPE>
I am waiting for your input on just what that post about the April conference means for my participation. How or why did this happen??
I know that I engaged with dialogue with May King ,on one of your posts, but I know very little about why she is doing this or what I can expect.

Angie, we haven’t got a prayer. A lot of us believe that anyway. It cannot be so or we would not have made reform work so hard for what they’ve stolen so far . But let’s say it is so.
Shall we fold ? Shall we torture students with common core and wait until we are let go and our pensions go to John Arnold to spend on cavier and his PR for his next heist? Shall we wander off to skid row and take cover in a cardboard box? Should I tell my son his only hope for the future is to surrender his soul to our oppressors and hope to gods he never becomes ill because there will be no options available for any treatment on Obamacare unless an $80 aspirin can cure it? Should we flee to Finland or join Egypt’s dissidents who are demanding Democracy? Maybe we should sing “Is that are there is?” and get so drunk we won’t feel it when President Joel Stein orders an extermination crew to go out and burn members of our resistance In the town squares to assure others don’t try it?
It is the stake for heretics ( bloggers, caring moms, academics , students, teachers who dared to ask question during a faculty meeting) ?
Maybe while we are waiting for the ax to fall we can become drug dealers because that is the only criminal enterprise we can get in on ground level of and frankly the least offensive beside these offers to facillitate the crony capitalists escalating cluster f**k? Have we all become infected by some postmodern strain of Stolkhome syndrome? You fight until the damned war is over . You fight because it is more noble to die stranding than it is to live on your knees . You fight because you love your family ,your students , your country
( WHAT it was and SHOULD be) , your FREEDOM, you fight because that is what we do . We are teachers and that doesnt mean we are complacent pansies, shiftless quitters and it sure doesn’t make us victims! I will go down fighting . If we lose, it will be because you, you, you and all ya all didn’t fight.
Students are fighting all over the world for an education. Teacher unrest is global. I think Finland is the only place there are no problems. Saudi Arbia is cutting deals with Pearson . And teachers in Mexico are being murdered for burning test scores and protesting . Anyone who says the swine have already won and gives up is a traitor to us and to self . Look around . We got war all the time, rampant racism, unarmed children being shot in the street by police who act with impunity. They’re giving cops drones in LA , where Eli Broad is building a shrine to himself as miles of homeless on skid row wait for the Gestapo to show and say being indigent is a crime.
I do not bow down to Bill Gates or Eli Broad . I don’t answer to a sell out president . I defer to the tenets of Democracy as Jefferson so eloquently explicated. We question authority. We vote . We have a right to express our opinions, to bear arms, to the 4th and 10th amendmants . We abide the directive that ALL people are created equal and respect MLK enough to insist the Brown act is NEVER violated, least of all by our own governments . We can remove anyone we want from an elected office. ANYONE.
We are THE people and this is our country .
If we have to become rebel Militia in cyber space or A mob supporting strikers at WAL mart ( who is crewing teaches over too) so be it.
Put your money where it doesn’t support anything but small business.
Every day we can do things that HITS THEM WHERE THEY LIVE. Don’t stand for corrupt judges. Vote their a**es out. Do not administer test. Let them fire you. Parents will take note of that. Be Norma Rae or Chavez. Be somebody who makes a difference. That is what we do. And…What we have to do is nothng next to people in countries who are dying because they fight knowing if they didn’t they’d die anyway, just slower. We don’t like it but it has to be done. We have to make sacrafices. We have to make choices. We can no longer afford a wait and see attitude or to pretend it is not happening. If we keep putting it off we will face more than foreclosure abd joblessness. It is much worst than test factories in place of our schools because these guys are posed to own Everything and make us pay to use what they stole from us. 1984 looks like a tea party compared to the legacy we will leave these kids if we don’t fight. Now!
In the novel Night Mosch the Beatle, the narrator’s spiritual teacher, is taken with a trainload of other Ghetto dwellers by the Gestapo . They are transported to a plot of land and ordered to dig a long deep trench . When they finish the officers line them up along the trench and start shooting . For some reason Moshe survives and digs his way out. He has been hit on his leg and is exhausted . He hasn’t even had water for days . But he creeps through the night and travels the formidable distance back to the ghetto . When he shows up he is mess and has not slept . He has a bullet wound and marks from the chains they wore by travel . His feet are black and bleeding; he is filthy and in a panic he as tells his neighbors what happened . He beseeches them to flee before the Nazi’s come back. Only the boy believes him Everyone else calls him crazy . Moshe is very sad for them but he gets out if there after he tells that kid to hang on so he can tell this story.because it would be very important. Elie Weisle did.
It is not ever a win like you want. There is no moment where the baloons drop down and we toast ourselves . We just keep shoving back. Those who step back let others handle it are no better than the fascists, especially when the evidence is so clear. Because if all of us Or even 1/10 th of us pitched in and served the greater good, the BBC would be disbanded, possibly imprisoned with Rhee, Deasy, Stein, etc and we would shut down every one of these Industrial Complexes and use what we save on schools, housing, cleaning up the earth and a well earned trip to the hot springs spa for a soak.

**NOTE:** This product is for those who want to buy our new JHM R Series Clutch Kit only (pressure plate and clutch disc) and purchased our 2.7T Lightweight Flywheel prior to August 28th, 2014. If you are interested in purchasing the JHM Lightweight Flywheel and R Series Clutch Combo for the 2.7T, please go back one section and at that item to your cart.
UPGRADING YOUR CURRENT JHM LIGHTWEIGHT FLYWHEEL TO R SERIES CLUTCH KIT SPECIFICATIONS:
The design of the R Series pressure plate required an update to the current JHM Lightweight Flywheel for the 2.7T - the spring package of the R Series Clutch Disc is too heavy duty for the old flywheel design. If you already have a JHM Lightweight Flywheel from before August 28th, 2014 and want to upgrade your clutch setup to our new R Series Clutch, you can send your flywheel to JHM where we will perform the modification.
This modification includes performing the new Version 2 counter bore service on your flywheel which allows for the bolt hole mounting change. This service also includes the new reusable hardware kit for this V2 flywheel: 8 bolts and 8 thick washers. Once this service is performed, your flywheel will be at our new V2 specification and work with both our R Series clutches and RS4 pressure plate based clutches that came with our original V1 flywheel.
Make sure to go back one section and add the "R Series Clutch fpr N5-S4, C5 A6-allroad w 2.7T" to your cart. This modification service can only be purchased with a new JHM R Series Clutch Kit. It will include a free shipping label for sending your Version 1 (pre August 28th, 2014) Lightweight Flywheel to JHM where we will perform the modifications to your flywheel. Once the modification is complete, we will send back your newly modified flywheel with your brand new R Series Clutch Kit along with all the new bolts and hardware required for the installation of the Clutch and Lightweight Flywheel.
