Distinguishing features
Tail shape is a way of distinguishing it from true owls when seen in flight, as are the wavering motions and the open dangling feathered legs.
The light face with its heart shape and the black eyes give the flying bird an odd and startling appearance, like a flat mask with oversized oblique black eyeslits, the ridge of feathers above the bill somewhat resembling a nose.
Its head and upper body typically vary between a light brown and a light colored and dark grey (especially on the forehead and back) feathers in most subspecies. Some are purer, richer brown instead, and all have fine black-and-white speckles except on the remiges and rectrices, which are light brown with darker bands. The heart-shaped face is usually bright white, but in some subspecies it is browner. The underparts (including the tarsometatarsus feathers) vary from white to reddish buff among the subspecies, and are either mostly unpatterned or bear a varying amount of tiny blackish-brown speckles. It was found that at least in the continental European populations, females with more spotting are healthier on average. This does not hold true for European males by contrast, where the spotting varies according to subspecies.
The bill varies from pale horn to dark buff, corresponding to the general plumage hue. The iris is blackish brown. The toes, as the bill, vary in color; their color ranges from pinkish to dark pinkish-grey. The talons are black.
On average, within any one population, males tend to be less spotted on the underside than females. (Wikipedia)

Its CEO was worried his brokers’ research didn’t attract (grab!) the attention of asset managers: it wasn’t distins - some with double doctorates in their complex fields including biotechnology and pharmaceuticals. Others had distinguished experience working in the industries they covered. Despite this depth and wealth of knowledge, their research left their desired readership stone cold.
Tsunami Warning
This wasn’t a straightforward assignment: fund managers are subject to tsunamis of advice, analysis and commentary. They could spend their lives reading the research and never trade (Some do, and they are seldom the worst performers!)
Bankers, investors or the press reading financial research, annual reports, thought leadership papers - or indeed almost any corporate or financial writing - are generally generalists. As generalists they can’t be presumed to have deep insight into every subject.
Often they don’t want to know too much about a subject: they want to quickly establish if it’s important to them and, if it is, to know how they can engage: find out more or ACT on the information.
“Are you plugged in?”
The first question to ask when someone’s computer won’t work is usually pretty basic: “Have you plugged it in?” With research you ask: “Is it reaching the right people?” The markets were clearly defined – the research was definitely reaching the right audience.
Secondly, is the person writing the research up to the job? The analysts’ credentials were unimpeachable: they had either solid academic backgrounds or sector experience.
The CEO’s confusion was compounded when the results of a survey of asset manager clients revealed that they, “ALWAYS” read the research from his brokerage and it was, “very good”.
A cure for insomnia – or cancer
FinanceWriter delved deeper to discover that while fund managers felt the firm’s research was, “so important” it was, “very detailed and dense” so they put aside to read later, “when they had the time”. But since fund managers never have time, so of course they never actually got around to reading (or acting on) it.
In research on a biotechnology company, the analyst rambled, long-windedly on about the company and its metrics. There is no better cure for insomnia than an academic paper or a management report.
He mentioned, seemingly in passing, that one of the company’s cancer test drugs had successfully passed a major regulatory hurdle. In missing the point, by lacking clarity and emphasis, he missed the opportunity of both engage his client and drumming up business for his firm.
FinanceWriter’s solution was to train analysts to stop writing their research like academic papers and management reports. We showed how they could write their research clearly and concisely, highlighting the main points and headlining important developments.
The outcome was the firm’s transactions attributable to research rose dramatically, their engagement with asset manager clients improved and they won an award for the most improved research – or maybe that should have been the headline!

The decision came despite angry pleas from school officials and parents, who complained that the school board wasn’t giving the school a fair chance to carry out a “turnaround” plan that they say they weear, when it underwent a 10-year review that found the school – formerly Potomac Lighthouse PCS – had not met 17 of its 20 goals and academic achievement expectations, records show.
The school board voted in November 2014 to initiate revocation proceedings against the school but gave the school a chance to continue a “significant turnaround” based on certain conditions. Those conditions included moving the school closer to the middle of the pack among all public charter schools in reading and having 70 percent of its students achieve academic proficiency.
Instead, Potomac Prep wound up with lowest reading scores among charter schools in the district, a school board quality and accountability specialist said.
Maxine Swann, an educational consultant who spoke on behalf of Potomac Prep, said the school met the targets set out by the board if the performance of special education students is considered separately. An attorney that represents the school noted that request is “particularly relevant” since the school experienced a “300 percent growth” in special education students during the 2014-2015 school year.
According to a D.C. government website, 50 students – or 11.8 percent of enrollment – have special education needs.
Scott Pearson, executive director of the D.C. Public Charter School Board, took exception to the school’s request to view its special education population separately – something he called a first in his four years on the job.
“I found it personally offensive that the school would ask us to disregard their special education students when looking at their results,” Pearson said. “That’s asking us to make an assumption that a student with a disability can’t succeed.”
Several parents and school officials said they felt the decision was a done deal and part of a bigger conspiracy to get another education entity to take over the school’s building at 4401 8th St., NE. They lamented that Pearson and other school board members were texting and talking to one another off the mic during the meeting. Pearson said school board members are “entitled to private conversations.”
“This is a monkey trial,” one parent shouted after the decision to begin revocation hearings.
Lloyd Royal, the parent of a Potomac Prep student for the last four years, said he has no confidence that the school board will be open and transparent in future proceedings regarding the school’s fate. “This was pre-planned,” he said.
Pearson said Potomac Prep officials agreed in 2014 to relinquish their charter if they failed to meet the agreed upon academic targets. Nicholette Smith-Bligen, chair of the board at Potomac Prep, said they agreed to do because it was the only way they could stay open.
“We agreed because we had 435 kids that would have been without a school,” Smith-Bligen said. “The idea was to keep the doors open and we can work from there, show the progress and we did that.” She said many students were several grades behind and made progress that is not reflected in the school’s test scores.
Potomac Prep has 15 days to request a public hearing about the board’s plans to revoke its charter.

The law allows the definition of lead-based paint to be amended once HPD issues a rule stating that the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has provided at least one performance characteristic sheet Viken Detection Model Pb200i, to test for lead paint at the level of 0.5 milligrams of lead per square centimeter. So HPD is amending its lead paint rules in Chapter 11 of Title 28 of the Rules of the City of New York to include a statement about HUD’s approval and to incorporate the definition of lead-based paint at the level of 0.5 mg/cm2, as provided under Local Law 66. The new definition will apply to all activities under Article 14 of the Housing Maintenance Code (Local Law #1) as of the effective date of the rule, Dec. 1, 2021.
The new standard is 0.5 milligrams of lead per square centimeter for paint tested by an XRF analyzer. The old standard was 1.0 milligrams per square centimeter. And the presumption of lead paint will be based on this new definition.
HPD proposed rules also state that owners would be permitted to submit “exemption applications” using the current lead paint definition until March 1, 2022, as long as the testing for the exemption was performed before Dec. 1, 2021, which is the effective date of the new lead paint definition. Exemptions granted using the older definition of 1.0 milligrams of lead per square centimeter will be “deemed revoked upon the turnover of a dwelling unit after Dec. 1, 2021.”
Local Law 31 XRF Test Requirement
While the new standards imposed by HPD's proposed rule wouldn’t take effect until Dec. 1, 2021, it’s important to stay on top of new lead-based paint regulations this year. This August marks the one-year anniversary of the Local Law 31 XRF test requirement.
XRF analyzers are specialized machines containing radioactive isotopes that are used to determine the elemental composition of a sample surface. Handheld XRF analyzers detect the presence of potential lead hazards. To be compliant with Local Law 31, testing must be performed by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-certified inspectors.
Local Law 31 of 2020 went into effect on Aug. 9, 2020, and requires XRF lead inspection tests in old residential “multiple dwelling” buildings. And per Local Law 29 of 2020, the definition of buildings with “multiple dwellings” has expanded to include smaller landlords. Multiple dwellings now include one- and two-family house rentals except the units occupied by the owner’s family.
Local Law 31 also includes a five-year testing requirement, meaning that all residential building owners in NYC must have all dwelling units inspected for lead paint by Aug. 9, 2025. However, apartments with children under the age of 6 residing there must be inspected much sooner, within one year of the law, by Aug. 9, 2021. Local Law 31 inspection reports must be kept on hand and made available to HPD upon request.
Local Law 31:
Lead Testing Requirements for Units with Children Under 6
While building owners have until Aug. 9, 2025, to have XRF inspections performed, if a child under the age of 6 resides in a unit, owners must have the XRF inspection performed within a year, by Aug. 9, 2021.
For children under the age of 6, the term “resides” means the child either lives in, or routinely spends 10 or more hours per week in a dwelling unit in a pre-1960 building. Therefore, XRF testing requirements also apply to properties where a child visits and spends time in regularly, even if they don’t live there.
What Are Lead-Based Paint Hazards?
Lead-based paint was banned in New York City in 1960, but it still exists in older buildings. As a hazard, lead exposure can be poisonous for young children and pose significant risks to pregnant women. According to the HPD website, common examples of lead-based paint hazards include:

and Zaheer Khan as overseas batting and bowling consultant are not yet confirmed. On the contrary, ty, VVS Laxman and Sachin Tendulkar.
The chairman of Committee of Administratiors (CoA) Vinod Rai was quoted by ANI saying that the CoA will act on the recommendations, after consulting head coach Ravi Shastri.
"For further coaches and others, (we) must have discussions with Ravi Shastri. Then we set up a committee of Diana (Edulji), acting president (CK Khanna), secretary (Amitabh Choudhary) and CEO (Rahul Johri) as the convener," Rai was quoted as saying in the report.
Earlier, Shastri had said in an interview, "BCCI can certainly bring in guys like Zaheer and Dravid as consultants from time to time. Their experience is invaluable. But as far as a full-time support is concerned, I will need to decide on the team because it is me who will be working with them over the next two years.”
In stark contrast, a media release on July 11 signed by Secretary Amitabh Choudhary, read, "The BCCI announces the appointment of Mr. Ravi Shastri as the Head Coach, Mr. Zaheer Khan as the Bowling Consultant and Mr. Rahul Dravid who will be the Overseas Batting Consultant (Test cricket) for the Indian Cricket Team."

As COVID-19’s effects on the world’s pandemic-battered cities are becoming clearer, so are the possible responses of architects and urban planners.
In the spring, COVID-19 upended cities around the world, turning them into virtual ghost towns. In New York City, social distancing and quarantining became rules to live by, as public health experts have urged nationwide. Businesses shuttered, subways ceased to run, and the streets lost their customary hustle and bustle.
Amid this, the most disadvantaged urban residents have experienced the effects of the virus with extra force.
“This pandemic presents us with an opportunity to look back at centuries of discrimination in this country having to do with race and space, and to reassert the connection between urban space and public health,” said Elihu Rubin, associate professor of architecture and urbanism at the Yale School of Architecture and a professor of American studies. “Poor people are disproportionately impacted by this crisis because they live in conditions that over decades have see conditions that over decades have seen public health risks intensify.
Elihu Rubin
With colleagues in the Yale Urban Design Workshop (YUDW), Rubin is considerioronavirus and the New American Ghost Town.” Hosted by the Yale Alumni Academy — a new initiative of the Yale Alumni Association that offers lifelong learning and travel programs — the seminar tells the story of American ghost towns, from the “Wild West” to the heart of the contemporary “post-industrial” city including a look at how the pandemic turned the world’s cities into virtual ghost towns with millions of people sheltering in place.
Based at the Yale School of Architecture, the YUDW works with communities across Connecticut and around the world to provide planning and design assistance on projects ranging from comprehensive plans, economic development strategies, and community visions to the design of public spaces, streetscapes, and individual community facilities. Recently YUDW has focused on developing and deploying strategies to increase coastal and urban resilience in response to disasters such as Hurricane Sandy in 2012.
The pandemic has highlighted the need for greater collaboration between urban planners and public health leaders, and has underscored the necessity for more interdisciplinary thinking generally, said Alan Plattus, professor of architecture and YUDW’s executive director. In light of COVID-19, the leaders of YUDW are thinking about how to address public health livability in disadvantaged urban communities in cities around the country and the world.
Plattus emphasized that the disparities in housing and the need for affordable housing includes having enough decent space to work at home and quarantine if necessary. “Large extended families in too little space have been right up there with nursing homes in spreading the virus among vulnerable populations,” he added.
During the pandemic, city dwellers looking to escape the confines of their apartments found a saving grace in urban open spaces — chiefly parks, for instance. But even these spaces have brought to light issues of inequality, said Andrei Harwell, who directs the YUDW and Center for Design Research in New Haven and is a senior critic at the Yale School of Architecture. New parks are often developed with private funds, and they tend to be located adjacent to new development sites, and thus are not equally distributed throughout cities.
“This means if you are poor, a park may be a subway ride away from you,” explained Harwell. “We have to start thinking in much more integrated ways about systems of parks. I hope that there will be more interest and emphasis on the development of those kinds of spaces within cities. That is the kind of innovation that I would like to see come out of this pandemic.”
If the pandemic has demonstrated the need for more evenly distributed open spaces within the city, life under quarantine has also shown the importance of balconies and porches for residents in urban buildings.
“People interacted through those balconies,” said Plattus. “These spaces provided fresh air, camaraderie — a place to see others and be seen. They were also used in celebration to show support for frontline workers fighting to save lives in New York, Italy, and Spain.
“I will encourage all of the clients we partner with to develop affordable housing to include porches and balconies going forward,” continued Plattus. “They are now crucial.”
The history of American architecture and urbanism has always been the history of inequality, said Rubin. “It is vital to understand those patterns and processes because they are indicative of what we are observing today,” he added.

Title
"Inherent Vice" has a number of meanings. See Inherent Vice Title. The phrase appears on pg. 351.
Cover
The cover illustration is by Maui artist Darshan Zenith (see his Official site). The piece is called "Eternal Summer," and subtitled, "A 'Retired' Caddy Hearse Greets Daybreak at a Beach Surf Shop." Prints of the painting can be purchased here. The 1959 Cadillac Hearse is parked in front of the "Endless Summer Surf Shop" (namechecking the Beach Boys Greatest Hits collection and Bruce Brown's 1966 surfing documentary!).
More info attext here). It is possible that Pynchon did the same for Inherent Vice.
Epigraph
Under the paving-stones, the beach!
"Sous les pavés, la plage" - slogan dating from the 1968 Paris student riots. Wikipedia Literally, it refers to the paving stones thrown at the police and to the discovery made by the rioting students, after prying up the stones, that there was sand underneath. Figuratively, it uses the metaphor of a beach to allude to the ideal life to be found beneath the confines of society.
For those interested in such things, here is an odd and fairly lengthy online discussion about the phrase and its translation which, if nothing else, gives a flavor for how translations can go awry when people start trying to translate metaphors instead of words.
Dedication
Like Against the Day, Inherent Vice has no dedication. Pynchon dedicated three of his previous novels to friends and family: Mason & Dixon ("For Melanie, and for Jackson"), Vineland ("For my mother and father"), and Gravity's Rainbow ("For Richard Fariña").
Page 1
Country Joe & the Fish T-shirt
A Berkeley-based rock band most widely known for musical protests against the Vietnam War, from 1966 to 1971
Tonight she was all in flatland gear,
Night, Tuesday, March 24, 1970, first day of the narrative. It's a lot harder to assign real-world dates to the first half of the narrative than to the second half. It could be some kind of "parallel time" (see p. 128). Many events in the first half of the book do seem to echo events in the second half.
Shasta
Shasta is a soft drink brand that reached the peak of its popularity in the 1980s. Wikipedia. Note that Pynchon has named characters after soda before, e.g. Wicks Cherrycoke in Mason & Dixon.
However, more to the point, "Shasta" is name-connected to Mt. Shasta, long believed by some to be where the Lemurians came after Lemuria sunk into the sea. They also believe in the presence of Bigfoot here, as well as wolfmen. See Mt. Shasta and the Lemurian Connection. Pynchon is likely familiar with this mythology. Vineland, set in pot country of Northern California, alludes to Yurok myth, and his other works draw on mythology from many traditions.
"Shasta McNasty" was also the name of a fictional band, the subject of a short-lived UPN sitcom. The members of the band were three slackers who lived in Venice Beach.
They stood in the street light through the kitchen window there'd never been much point in putting curtains over and listened to the thumping of the surf from down the hill. Some nights, when the wind was right, you could hear the surf all over town.
Like Vineland, and Gravity's Rainbow, here a Pynchon book begins with light coming through a window. Also like Vineland, the sentence structure and rhythm is just slightly jarring - that '...in the street light through the kitchen window...' seeming to echo Vineland: "Later than usual one summer morning in 1984, Zoyd Wheeler drifted awake in sunlight through a creeping fig that hung in the window, with a squadron of blue jays stomping around on the roof." In both cases, it's just a little odd that Pynchon doesn't refer to the light 'that shone' through the window. And that creeping fig makes an appearance on page 33 of Inherent Vice.

makeup supposed to look like no makeup or whatever,...
The "natural look" was popular during the 1970s. Ads told woman that makeup was invisible, "the makeup that is and isn't." Another ad sez "It looks so convincing you'd swear it isn't makeup." (See: Disco divas: women and popular culture in the 1970s By Sherrie A. Inness, page 21)

Hancock Park
Just south of Hollywood, and one of the most desirable locations in Los Angeles. Hancock Park was developed by the Hancock family and is named after developer-philanthropist G. Allan Hancock, with profits earned from oil drilling in the former Rancho La Brea, home of the famous tar pits. Wikipedia
"Can't Buy Me Love"
This well-known Beatles hit has a curious connection with two other Beatles tunes touched on in The Crying of Lot 49. "She Loves You" is cited outright and there is the parody title "I Want to Kiss Your Feet" in reference to "I Want to Hold Your Hand" by Sick Dick and the Volkswagens (Volkswagens are commonly referred to as Beetles). The German language versions of "She Loves You" and "I Want To Hold Your Hand" were recorded at the same session as "Can't Buy Me Love." Wikipedia entry for "Can't Buy Me Love"
'fro pick
'fro pick in his baggies for protection
An "Afro" pick, aka a comb for the Afro hairstyle; this doesn't necessarily mean Doc has an Afro, only that he borrowed one "for protection" as they generally had fairly sharp metal tines.

Gordita Beach
This fictional Los Angeles beach town where Doc lives and works is, according to the article "Thomas Pynchon and the South Bay" Pynchon's fictionalized Manhattan Beach where he lived in 1967-1971—/CW/ at 217 33rd Street—while working on Gravity's Rainbow And in Vineland, Gordita Beach is where Zoyd Wheeler lived "shortly after Reagan was elected governor of California" (on Jan 3, 1967):
Zoyd was living down south then, sharing a house in Gordita Beach with elements of a surf band he’d been playing keyboard in since junior high, the Corvairs, along with friends more and less transient. The house was so old that all of its termite clauses and code violations had been waived, on the theory that the next moderate act of nature would finish it off. But having been put up back during an era of overdesign, it proved to be sturdier than it looked, with its old stucco eaten at to reveal generations of paint jobs in different beach town pastels, corroded by salt and petrochemical fogs that flowed in the summers onshore up the sand slopes, on up past Sepulveda, often across the then undeveloped fields, to wrap the San Diego Freeway too. (p. 22)
Pynchon owned a '65 Corvair. the car was so light that one he did a wheelie on the freeway for which the cure was putting a 50 pound bag of cement in the truck which was in the front of this rear wheel drive car-CW?
The Corvairs surf band figures in Inherent Vice, as well.
MAD Magazine-style substitution pun in the name, Gordita Beach: from the Manhattan, an open-faced hot sandwich made with meat and gravy (although there are several different "Manhattan" sandwiches [1][2]), to the Gordita, a thick tortilla stuffed with meat stew.
Tree Section
Section of Manhattan Beach west of Sepulveda Blvd, filled with family homes. Generally more upscale than Doc's neighborhood. The moniker comes from the streets all being named for trees.
Page 7
2001: A Space Odyssey
This 1968 film by Stanley Kubrick is also mentioned in chapter 14 of Vineland. It includes a computer named HAL that gains consciousness and kills the ship's crew members. Talking computers also show up on pg. 115 of Vineland.
Page 8
Channel View Estates
The Channel Islands are a chain of islands off the coast of southern California.
The name is perhaps intended as a telling contrast with "River View" (or "Riverview"), a common name for neighborhoods, real-estate developments and towns. Wolfmann's development is a "chipboard horror" - basic tract housing for the newly middle-class - and it has no river to view, only a drainage channel. "Ditch View Estates" might have been more pointed, if less believable.
Possibly a reference to "channels" on a television set with countless "viewers" looking at the tube in the Los Angeles city sprawl of future single-family homes.
Page 9
Flying Nun, The
The Flying Nun (ABC sitcom '67-'70) starred Sally Field (who also played surf bunny Gidget in an earlier sitcom) as a young nun with a talent for catching the wind like a wave. Despite the reference to Bigfoot playing "comical Mexicans," the series actually took place in Puerto Rico. Wikipedia
SAG
The Screen Actors Guild
Zody
An anagram for Zoyd, one of the main characters in Vineland. Also Zody's, a chain of discount stores Wikipedia.
Cal Worthington
If Used-Car dealer Cal Worthington didn't exist, someone would have to invent him. Famous for his TV ads throughout California and his dog "Spot" [usually an exotic animal] the many parodies of Cal never exceed his own bizarre ads. YouTube Worthington's ads were parodies themselves of an escalating competition between auto dealers to try to get viewer attention. The "dog" Spot was a riff on the German Shepherd (actual) dog featured in the commercials of the biggest multi-lot dealer, Ralph Williams. While Worthington looked and dressed like a typical East L.A. Okie and played country & western music on his own show, "Cal's Corral", he was actually cognitively aligned more with Doc's scene, among other things, sponsoring the left-wing television show of Mort Sahl.
Freak Power
Hunter S. Thompson ran unsuccessfully for mayor and sheriff of Aspen, Colorado in 1969 and 1970. Wikipedia Unsure if "freak power" was a term Thompson coined?
Page 10
Godzilla
Pynchon apparently wrote a letter to his editor, Cork Smith, in the 1960s saying that he was working on two books: one on Mason & Dixon, and one loosely inspired by Godzilla. See Crying of Lot 49 Chapter 3] & Vineland, page 142. It was recounted by Pynchon to his friends that to continue to collect ron YouTube...
Playa Vista High
Mira Costa High is the high school in Manhattan Beach ("Gordita Beach" in Inherent Vice).
Denis came back with his Pizza.
Pynchon had a passion for pizza and had proposed making a film with the FPS group of San Francisco entitled "Mondo Pizza".
This happened at the Pipeline every Tuesday
Night, Tuesday, March 24, 1970, first day of the narrative. This establishes this day as Tuesday.
"sez"
Alludes to the Mr. Natural comic book character created and drawn by the 1960s counterculture and underground comix artist Robert Crumb. (Robert Crumb also makes an appearance on page 306 of Vineland) Perhaps Mr. Natural's most famous aphorism was, "Mr. Natural sez, Use the right tool for the job." ("Sez" appears numerous times throughout Inherent Vice)
Mr. Natural Wikipedia
Then again, it appears a number of times in Gravity's Rainbow as well.
skip tracer
Someone who "traces" the location of people who have "skipped" town. Wikipedia entry...
Sortilège
The act of divining the future by casting lots, also Sorcery; witchcraft. Middle English, derived from old French via Medieval Latin sortilegium, from sortilegus, diviner : Latin sors, sort-, lot + Latin legere, to read. see
Page 12
wasn't that they were fucking, exactly, but it was something like that.
This sentence structure is a Pynchon trademark found throughout his works: "not X, exactly, but Y..." For instance, Gravity's Rainbow, pg 137: "...you begin to wait for something terrible — not exactly an air raid but something close to that."; Gravity's Rainbow, pg 580: "Not as an enterprise, exactly, but at least in the dance of things."
though, when Doc finally woke up
Morning, Wednesday, March 25, 1970, second day of the narrative.
He stumbled up the hill to Wavos and had breakfast with the hard-core surfers who were always there.

Frederick's of Hollywood
Famous retailer of lingerie, started by Frederick Mellinger (inventor of the push-up bra) in 1946. The original flagship store was a landmark on Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California. Wikipedia
Page 14
a rendering of a giant bloodshot eyeball
The logo for LSD Investigations might be a parody of the logo for the Pinkerton National Detective Agency, a famous and long-running agency started in the nineteenth century. Their logo is an eyeball with the phrase "We Never Sleep." See it here. This agency's activities play an important role in Pynchon's previous novel, Against the Day.
Famed Poster artist and surfer dude Rick Griffin also made a finely detailed rendering of a bloodshot, flying eyeball in this famous poster for a Jimi Hendrix concert at the Fillmore in 1968.
There also may be an allusion here to the most famous "giant eyeball" in 20th-century American literature, in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. The eye-doctor Dr. T. J. Eckleburg's giant billboard ad for his practice features a pair of eyes and glasses looking over a wasteland near a highway on the way to New York City. In FSF's words, "his eyes, dimmed a little by many paintless days under sun and rain, brood on over the solemn dumping ground."
psychedelic favorites green & magenta
A Pynchon leitmotif, the color combo of the faux-neon font of Inherent Vice's cover, also cited in Gravity's Rainbow & Vineland.
karmic adjustment
Karmic imbalance is an important theme in Vineland. See pg. 173, for example.
Sledge Poteet
Sledge Poteet was a member of the film collective 24fps from Vineland. He shared, along with ninjette DL Chastain, "a fondness for enlightenment through asskicking."
Page 15
Olivetti Lettera 22
A portable typewriter. See it here. Various sources, including Jules Siegel, note that Pynchon used an Olivetti Portable Typewriter.
Page 16
Black Guerrilla Family . . . George Jackson's outfit
The Black Guerrilla Family was a prison gang founded in the mid-1960's by George Jackson in San Quentin prison.
Artesia Crips
This is a potential anachronism. The novel ostensibly takes place in 1970, since it is after Charles Manson's arrest in December 1969 but before the trial began in mid-1970. However, many reports indicate the L.A. street gang that would eventually be called the Crips was not founded by Raymond Washington and Tookie Williams until 1971, and it was originally called the Baby Avenues, then the Cribs, and finally Crips.
Page 17
Watts . . . the riots
In 1965, there was a widespread and brutal riot in the streets of Watts, CA. It lasted almost a week and resulted in several deaths and hundreds of injuries. Read more here. Pynchon wrote on the subject in his 1966 essay for the New York Times A Journey Into The Mind of Watts

Tragically, the proud Orc clans were corrupted by the Burning Legion and used as pawns in the Legion's invasion of Azeroth. The Orcs managed to rebel, however, and they were ultimately able to help turn the tide against their demon masters. Led by the young Warchief, Thrall, the Orcs have reclaimed their strength and honor. Now, the Orcs stand ready to fight not for the sake of conquest, but for their right to survive in their adopted world.

Arriving in Azeroth, the seemingly unstoppable orc armies, known as the Horde, crushed the human kingdom of Stormwind. Eventually, however, the humans made a last stand and were able to defeat the Horde and enslave most of the survivors. But a young slave named Thrall, together with Warchief Orgrim Doomhammer, fought to free the captive orcs. Orgrim died in battle, and the title of warchief, as well as Orgrim’s weapon, the Doomhammer, was passed onto Thrall. Thrall led his people to Kalimdor, where his friend and mentor, Grommash Hellscream, gave his life to defeat Mannoroth and forever free the orcs from the Legion’s control.

Long ago, the orcs tamed the large and swift wolves of Draenor. These massive canines came to be the orcs’ chosen companions as well as their favored method of transportation. The wolves’ unflinching temperament made them especially well-suited for battling large prey. When the orcs became more warlike and invaded Azeroth, their wolves were bred for size and stamina so they could bear armored riders into battle. Dire wolves remain the favored mounts for orc fighters.

It becomes time you guys fact check and read through your classic guides and info.
Deathknights, mages, and monks are not a thing for orcs. Nor was there "a few distinctive mounts at the Argent Tournament."
Racials are wrong as well, the first one is nonexistent.
Stun resistance is 25%, not 20% and the pet bonus dmg is 5%, not 1%.
The sad thing is everything is filled with mistakes like this...
Pushing something full of TBC content and plain misinformation is not a good marketing strategy IMHO.

I've seen a lot of debate on whether hunters should go troll, orc, or tauren... well, to simplify the debate, Orcs were really setup for the job. I've seen great troll and tauren hunters, but when you factor in high hit points, decent agility, resistance to stun/knockout effects (helps a ton in soloing), and increased pet damage.. I don't see many shortcomings here. Plus, if you throw in a dual wield of +Agi axes, not only can you have a combined axe skill that's +10 higher than any other race, but also make up for the small difference in agi between other races. A fun race to play, also looks bad @ss in mail armor ;)

Not really.
They were only savage at the time of the bloodlust curse. Which is gone now that hellscream killed mannaroth.
Draenor is a hellish world now, but originally it wasn't. It only really became hellish after the orcs left it and Sargeras screwed Draenor up.
I comment on this because I do not understand how the horde arrived at its present situation in the story of world of warocraft. The orcs and humans were allies at the end of the frozen throne but only after 4 years they randomly start attacking each other again? Wasn't Jaina Proudmoore's father the last man in power to hold a grudge against the horde simply because he used to fight against them? Jaina stopped him though and last I read, she was still in charge.

Like most new players to any game, I was wondering where is the easiest place to get a rare drop other than a quest? I have a lvl 23 Orc Hunter with a lvl 23 Savannah Matriarch pet. My axe, bow, and defense skills are maxed out. I continually get decent green drops but never the blue (which may be why they call them rare drops, lol). Where is the highest percentage of rare drops that I can easily take? I continuously look on the web sites, but actually finding the creatures and being able to slay them is not so easy solo. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Vanilla Tahitensis from Papua New Guinea or Vanilla PNG.
Spicy Deli invites you to sublimate your pastries and desserts with its Tahitensis vanilla (vanilla plans of Tahiti origin) grown in Papua New Guinea. Very aromatic with spicy floral and sweet notes, our black ebony pods are supple, fleshy and oily. Less known than its Malagasy cousin, this vanilla has nothing to envy it. The quality of the maturing and the powerful aromas of this Tahitensis vanilla from Papua New Guinea will surprise you.
LEARN MORE:
Spicy Deli has chosen to select its Tahitensis Vanilla pods in Papua New Guinea.
WHY ?
Papua New Guinea has exceptional terroirs, ideally located, it is cultivated sparingly facing the Pacific Ocean.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
Considered the "cousin" of Tahitian Vanilla, our Tahitensis Vanilla pods have an extraordinary fragrance developing a delicate, warm, woody, spicy aroma with floral scents.
The pods are thicker because they contain more vanilla seeds (called caviar) when compared to Planifolia (Vanilla grown in Madagascar)
Vanilla Tahitensis from Papua New Guinea is a Quality vanilla: the pod is fleshy, shiny and oily to the touch, it must be supple and must be able to wrap around the fingers, a sign that the vanilla bean is not too dry and quality.
How to use:
Flatten the pod with the back of a sharp knife (not a serrated knife) then split the pod in half lengthwise with the tip of the knife. Then scrape off the vanilla seeds (vanilla caviar) still using your knife. Do not throw away the exhausted pods because they can be used to make vanilla sugar for example (insert one or two pods in the middle of your sugar pot)
On the kitchen side:
You can use it like a traditional vanilla bean, but its aromatic subtlety will allow you an alternative to your favorite desserts! Integrated into your preparations of sweet and savory dishes, Vanilla Tahitensis will make your island dishes a taste orgasm! Make your taste buds travel by preparing a Chicken with Thyme and Vanilla!
Conservation side:
Our pods are hermetically protected, we suggest you keep them in the vegetable drawer of your fridge, be careful to seal your pods tightly after use.
Big “crush” for our Vanilla Tahitensis pods from Papua New Guinea offering excellent value for money.

covid: covid outliers: small e-commerce brands that have thrived during the pandemic
0
By Rose J. Jefferson on June 25, 2022 Mobile phone brands
Suryaflame’s story is one of courage and perseverance. Since its inception in the early 1980s, this Delhi-based kitchenware company has had to fight retailers and wholesalers for shelf space alongside bigger and more popular brands such as and Prestige. But that all changed when the company opened up digital channels.
Today, Suryaflame sells more than 5,000 gas stoves and some 1,000 mixer-grinders every day. It also manufactures and markets a large number of irons, copper bottles, utensils and kitchen fireplaces. The increase in online orders has helped the company record 10% sales growth every month for the past two years. These were pandemic years when the fear was that only big manufacturing brands with big balance sheets would survive. The prognosis for small local manufacturers was dire.
Suryaflame is one of the companies that debunked the prediction and thrived during Covid-19, thanks to e-commerce platforms. Some of them have recorded four to six times greater growth in their turnover, although on lower bases. ET examines nine such outliers in consumer spaces.
It took almost 40 years for Suryaflame to expand all over India, with its products available in many PINs across the country. Vaibhav Malhotra, MD, Suryaflame says, “The cookware industry is highly decentralized and competitive. It is still at the mercy of big wholesalers and retailers. But with the rise of e-commerce over the past two years, the terrain is changing rapidly. At least the digital space is a level playing field. The competition there is relatively fair.
ET Office
E-commerce platforms such as Amazon, Flipkart, Udaan, and Meesho have helped many consumers discover many smaller brands. The frenzy of adding more sellers to platforms and the backcountry race to connect with more buyers has helped these manufacturers grow faster. High smartphone penetration, cheap data and consumers’ eagerness to shop online during Covid have helped these local businesses. “Scaling is important for any product manufacturer. But to grow, they need access to a large market, a network and credit support. Well-established e-commerce players have been successful in offering the three essentials to small manufacturers,” says
Bidasaria, Business Leader (General Merchandise), Udaan, a leading B2B shopping platform for retailers and merchants.
ET Office
“E-commerce platforms could remove many bottlenecks related to the supply chain. Covid-19 has accelerated digital adoption in India, both on the buyer and seller side. Manufacturers could leverage the success of these platforms. They have benefited from market access and timely payments,” he adds.
Can this hold up as we move into a post-pandemic era or life with Covid? Although it has been relatively easy for tech-savvy business owners to identify markets and secure new customers, high input costs, power shortages, slowing demand and excessive leverage could derail the growth trajectory of small manufacturers.
Before the pandemic, Tweakymod, a Hyderabad-based company that makes cellphone cases, was filling just 80-100 orders a day. But once he started selling on e-commerce platforms in 2020, orders skyrocketed. In 2022, it increased its sales 10 times compared to 2020. The company fulfills more than 2,000 orders every day.
During festival season, Tweakymod sees over 5,000 orders per day. “We plan to add new product lines. We can add a lot of value to our products because we manufacture them in-house,” says Raghavendar Gupta, founder of Tweakymod. “We operate with decent margins; our products are now sold all over the country. Only the logistics need to be streamlined. Very often we have to wait for other bulk shipments to congregate in the hubs for our goods to be shipped as well,” he adds.
Similarly, Delhi-based Pexpo, which manufactures and sells vacuum flasks through online and offline modes, has seen monthly sales growth of 20% over the past year. The company sells almost 18 lakh vacuum flasks per year. “We have a lot of competitive advantages because we manufacture locally. We are able to sell our products at MRPs that are 30-35% lower than established brands,” says Vedant Padia, Founder-Director of Pexpo.
ET Office
But business got tough for Pexpo with rising steel prices. Commodity price inflation hurts many businesses. Metal prices have risen 70-90% over the past two years, prompting many to revise their production plans.
“We operate in a very price-sensitive market, so we cannot pass on additional costs to our customers,” says Akash Suresh, founding CEO of Bengaluru-based Ahar, which manufactures a range of pressure cookers and other cooking tools. “To maintain our market share, we now manufacture cookware that is lighter but with high quality and safety standards. We have also reduced scrap metal to a large extent,” he adds.
In terms of online sales, Ahar has done well with its products reaching many corners of the country. The company has launched 25 new products in the past year, but its best-selling product remains the 3-liter cooker, which records sales of 50,000 units a year. Ahar sales have increased 15-20% year-on-year since 2020.
ET Office
Even though people are shopping online, the amount of their purchases has dropped sharply in recent months, says Sagar Kohli, managing director of Foxglove, a Ludhiana-based bicycle manufacturing company. “Demand has dropped a lot since January. Customers wait for prices to drop. Even resellers have reduced their stocks. Also, for cycle manufacturers, the past few months have not been great due to the scorching summer,” he says.
ET Office
The company now sells more than 8,000 cycles per month, up from 4,000 before the pandemic. Foxglove sees better conversion rates from online sales. The growing number of cycling enthusiasts, especially during the Covid, has helped the company.
Most manufacturers who sell online need to do a bit of digital and social media marketing to increase their visibility. Priyanka Jaiswal, founder of Ghaziabad-based Samridhi Design Creations, sells over 1.5 lakh of oxidized jewelry every month. She managed to double her business in the past two years through online marketing and social media presence. “Visibility is very important if you want to sell online, so we focus a lot on marketing our products,” says Jaiswal. “The best thing about e-commerce platforms is that their payouts are regular. Better cash flow helps us invest more in our business. The wider reach we get on these platforms also helps us attract customers from small towns and villages,” she adds.
ET Office
Most manufacturers prefer a hybrid sales model – where they sell through online platforms as well as offline networks such as traditional resellers, wholesalers and retailers. Manufacturers of mobile phone accessories rely on both channels to increase their sales. But relatively lower value products such as power banks, chargers and earphones are selling in large numbers online.
“Phone accessories are a rapidly growing category, so we need to be both online and offline to show higher sales,” says Sahil Kandhari, Founder and CEO of Dvaio, a Delhi-based accessories maker. . The company sells more than 2 lakh audio products (headphones, speakers) every month. Its sales have increased by 20% over the past two years. “Digital channels can give you a wider reach than offline models can. Plus, you can create your own space in the market with very little investment.”
The use of both offline and online sales channels is desirable, but in some product categories offline markets have stalled. Take the case of clothing manufacturers who are forced to sell their products online. Many offline clothing sellers in South India are not sourcing as they are not expecting many buyers at high prices. “Cotton prices have increased significantly; T-shirts that sold for €80 a few months ago now cost €120. Offline traders have stopped ordering fresh stock from manufacturers,” says Rajat Jain, owner of Smartees, a Tirupur and Coimbatore-based t-shirt brand. Smartees receives more than 7,000 online orders every day, up from 2,000 orders in 2019-20. During festivals, he sells 14,000 pieces a day. In the last financial year, the company recorded sales worth 32 crores. “Offline business is difficult because there are a lot of middlemen in the value chain,” says Jain.
Most of these MSME owners plan to expand their business and product lines in the coming months. Many set up manufacturing plants. Platforms such as Meesho and Udaan offer loans to SME owners, either through their own books or through NBFCs and bank reconciliations. According to Lakshminarayan Swaminathan, CXO (supply growth), Meesho: “The idea is to sell quality products at affordable prices. Price becomes even more important in times of inflation. We are still seeing reasonably good demand on our platform; 70% of our buyers are from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. They are still buying,” he adds.
ET Office
Several small manufacturers have incurred significant debt on their books. There is a problem of over-indebtedness in certain pockets. Only sustained demand and cash flow will help these companies reduce their debt over time. Inflation is the sword hanging over their heads. “MSME turnover is quite stable even now; but over-indebtedness is a problem,” says Mukesh Mohan Gupta, President of the Indian Chamber of MSMEs. “The government will have to control inflation to maintain demand.”

The Kid LAROI Receives Tattoo From Post Malone!
Cam
It’s no secret that pop and hip-hop have been crossing genres over the last decade, and perhaps two of the best to do it right now are The Kid LAROI and Post Malone. Well, it seems the two have been spotted hanging out! Whether that means new music is still yet to be confirmed.
However, the status of friendship can be noted by the recent tattoo Posty gave LAROI. In a video shared on LAROI’s TikTok, he sports a freshly inked tattoo on his thigh before the camera shows Post Malone whipping the excess ink/blood off the new art piece. The caption “Cowboy with clogs boiiiii!” confirms that the tattoo is a stick-figured cowboy wearing some big old clogs. Post Malone has been known to give tattoo’s to people he values as close friends, so who knows, maybe they have been tight for some time and have music on the way too!
The Kid LAROI rose to fame after releasing his mixtape F*** Love which was drip-fed to fans over 3 installments, the last of which featured his hit single STAY with Justin Bieber. He is set to release his debut album in 2022 and has been teasing his upcoming single I Guess It’s Love.
We hope to hear some Posty and LAROI magic soon here at Asia Pop 40!

DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. Launches Terra Pool, A Clean, Renewable Energy Bitcoin Mining Pool Partnership with Argo Blockchain plc
DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. announced the launch of Terra Pool, a clean, renewable energy Bitcoin mining pool partnership between DMG and Argo Blockchain plc. Testing has concluded and Terra Pool is now open to the general Bitcoin mining public. Terra Pool, developed using DMG’s Blockseer technology, is a unique Bitcoin mining pool focused on clean energy as the basis for participation. The pool allows its members to showcase their commitment to clean energy operations and creates new bitcoin from renewable energy sources. In June of 2021, DMG and Argo Blockchain announced Terra Pool's joining the Crypto Climate Accord (CCA) to accelerate the implementation of solutions that decarbonize crypto mining and the blockchain sector as a whole. DMG, along with Argo, are the first two signatories of the CCA. Pools are an essential tool for the process of mining, as they bring together the computational resources of multiple mining companies to reduce revenue volatility while providing a proportional payout structure that ensures secure transfer of mining transactions to the rightful owners' digital wallets. DMG believes Terra Pool has many advantages over existing pools, including: Goal of 100% clean renewable energy power sources from each miner; Monetization of Terra Pool-created bitcoin, which may derive a price premium over other bitcoin; Annual audits by an independent third party audit firm, providing greater transparency of pool operations; Association with other clean energy miners rather than those supporting carbon-intensive energy sources. The Company believes Terra Pool will become an essential part of any bitcoin miner's governance to demonstrate carbon neutrality and ESG-centric operations core to their stakeholder values. Over the past few years, there has been an increased focus on the energy consumption of bitcoin mining. Governments such as New York State are creating rules that single out bitcoin miners due to their energy use; however, there are ways that bitcoin miners can show that they are carbon-neutral or on a path to carbon-neutral energy without the need for extensive government oversight. As Terra Pool is the first public pool to be run by a publicly traded company, it is required to be audited by a third-party independent auditor firm. This is a first in the industry, as no other public pools are managed by a public company. To date, public pools have worked without this level of auditing for calculating hashrate contribution and accordingly the proportion of bitcoin to be paid out to pool members. Terra Pool not only focuses on ESG-driven Bitcoin mining but also works with miners who want to reduce their carbon footprint through Terra Pool's network of providers who can develop carbon reducing strategies. This will allow miners to associate themselves with like-minded Bitcoin miners who are able to showcase their commitment to decarbonizing Bitcoin mining.

About this event
Exact start time for these sessions throughout the year is dependent on the local sunset time.
Marvel at you to observe the cosmos with your own eyes at the Macquarie University Astronomical Observatory. View planets, moons, binary stars, star clusters, nebulae and bright galaxies through our newly upgraded 12" and 16" professional in-dome telescopes. You will be guided by our trained astronomy staff, so please come prepared with any astronomy questions you may have!
All are welcome, but minumum sales are required for a session to proceed, and capacity is limited to 40 people so we recommend booking early.
Directions
The Astronomical Observatory is located on Macquarie University campus across from the Sport & Aquatic Centre (click here for a map). The observatory can be accessed by Gymnasium Road, off the corner of Culloden and Waterloo Roads. Turn onto Gymnasium Road at the roundabout, then take the first left into the North 3 Carpark. Parking for event visitors is available from 6pm without a ticket. The observatory is located at the far northeast end of the carpark.
For any questions or concerns, please email at least 24 hours before your event at [email protected].
Refund Policy
Attending the observatory is weather dependent: unfortunately we cannot see the stars if it is cloudy or raining. A decision will be made by 5pm on the day as to whether the observing session will go ahead or be cancelled. In either case, an announcement will be posted to our Facebook page. Full refunds are issued in cases of bad weather, or tickets can be transferred to a future session. If your observing session has been cancelled due to poor weather you will receive an email notification confirming that your 100% refund has been issued. Please allow up to five (5) business days for your refund to be transferred back into your account.
Please note that if we have less than 10 people booked in for any one session, the session will be cancelled and ticket holders will be issued with a 100% refund. If this is the case, ticket holders will be contacted via email by 5pm on the day of the event.

An emergency medical vehicle on a street. EMT personnel, in hazmat suits, load a man strapped down to a stretcher, into the van. On another street, a man collapses on the sidewalk. We see a quarantined man sitting inside a huge plastic bubble on a third street. Cut to an airport lobby. Soldiers are patrolling the space among the crowds. Cut to a lab. Close-up of vials of liquid. Camera pulls back. Techs in light green scrubs are placing the vials into slots of a table-top machine. Auditorium—a man on a platform, wearing a doctor’s white coat, is pointing a wand at a large screen, on which a chart is displayed, for the audience. Back to the street. People are wearing face masks.
These images wash over the television viewer. Meanwhile, the anchor is imparting his prepared meaning: “The government today issued a ban on all travel into and out of the city…hundreds of plane flights have been cancelled. Scientists are rushing to develop a vaccine…”
The television audience has an IMPRESSION of knowing something. They’re in the flow, the flow of the news…they’re in the images…
—Network, the 1976 film written by Paddy Chayefsky, reveals what media kings would do if they unchained their basic instincts and galloped all the way into the madness of slash-and-burn Roman Circus.
The audience is jaded beyond recall. It needs new shocks to the system every day. The adrenaline must flow. The line between reporting the news and inventing it? Erase it. Celebrate the erasure. Watch ratings soar.
Why pretend anymore? Why spend countless hours preparing and broadcasting synthetic artificial news, as if it were real? Does the audience care about such niceties? The audience just wants action.
The film proceeds from these premises.
Arthur Jensen, head of the corporation that owns the Network, speaks to unhinged Network newsman, Howard Beale, who has revealed, on-air, a piece of the real planetary power structure in a few moments of sanity: “You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr. Beale, and I won’t have it!! Is that clear?!… You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars. Petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars, reichmarks, rins, rubles, pounds, and shekels. It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today. That is the atomic and subatomic and galactic structure of things today! And YOU have meddled with the primal forces of nature, and YOU WILL ATONE!”
Head of programming for the Network, Diana Christensen, shifts the whole news department over to the entertainment division.
Thus emerge new shows with soaring ratings: Howard Beale, [Religious] Prophet of the Air Waves; The Mao Tse-Tung Hour, in which a guerrilla group films itself carrying out armed bank robberies; and Sybil the Soothsayer, a Tarot reader.
Diana becomes the network’s new executive star.
There is no longer even a pretense of a need for news anchors to appear authoritative, objective, or rational.
Diana Christensen is unstoppable. She sees, with burning clarity, that audiences are bored to the point of exhaustion; they now require, as at the end of the Roman Empire, extreme entertainment. They want more violence, more insanity, out in the open. On television.
In promoting her kind of news division, she tells network executives:
“Look, we’ve got a bunch of
hobgoblin radicals called the
Ecumenical Liberation Army who
go around taking home movies
of themselves robbing banks.
Maybe they’ll take movies of
themselves kidnapping heiresses,
hijacking 747’s, bombing bridges,
assassinating ambassadors.
We’d open each week’s segment
with that authentic footage,
hire a couple of writers to
write some story behind that
footage, and we’ve got
ourselves a series…
“Did you see the overnights on the
Network News? It has an 8 in New
York and a 9 in L.A. and a 27 share
in both cities. Last night, Howard
Beale went on the air [as a newscaster] and yelled
‘BULLSHIT’ for two minutes, and I
can tell you right now that tonight’s
show will get a 30 share at least.
I think we’ve lucked into something…
“I see Howard Beale as a latter-day
prophet, a magnificent messianic
figure, inveighing against the
hypocrisies of our times, a strip
Savonarola, Monday through Friday.
I tell you, Frank, that could just
go through the roof…Do you want to figure out
the revenues of a strip show that
sells for a hundred thousand bucks
a minute? One show like that could
pull this whole network right out
of the hole! Now, Frank, it’s being
handed to us on a plate; let’s not
blow it!”
Television in the “real world” isn’t all the way there yet, but it’s close.
In Network, Diana Christensen personifies the news. She is the electric, thrill-seeking, non-stop force that is terrified of silence.
She lives and feeds on adrenaline. So does the viewing public. Nothing else ultimately matters. Ratings are the top line and the bottom line. The individual and his thoughts are completely irrelevant.
Howard Beale, over the cliff, a news man screaming on-air about the insanity of the news, is perfectly acceptable, because the audience is simply responding to Beale’s inchoate outrage and their own. Nothing deeper is explored. What could have resulted in a true popular rebellion is short-circuited. Beale becomes a crazy loon, a novelty item. Yet one more distraction.
When, in a brief interlude of clarity, he begins telling his audience about the takeover of society by mega-corporations and mega-money, his show droops. Ratings collapse. Diana is no longer interested in him; she wants to sack him.
However, Arthur Jensen, the head of the corporation that owns the television network, wants to keep Beale on the air, as a messenger of the “galactic truth” about the beneficial integration of all human activity under the rubric of global money and global power. He converts Beale to his cause.
Diana sees only one way out of this ratings disaster: kill Beale; on-air; during his show. And so it is done.
Network also shows us the audience becoming actor, player, participant. The audience is jumping out of its skin to be recognized, courted, and adored as a mighty rolling force embodying no particular meaning.
Audience wants to be a star. Audience wants to BE news; audience wants its actions to be shown on television. That establishes its legitimacy. Nothing else is necessary.
Diana knows it, and she is more than willing to accommodate this frantic desire, if only her bosses will let her go all the way.
The best film ever made about television’s war on the population, Network stages only a few minutes of on-air television.
The rest of the film is dialogue and monologue about television. Thus you could say that, in this case, word defeats image. Which was scriptwriter Paddy Chayefsky’s intent.
Even when showing what happens on the TV screen, Network bursts forth with lines like these, from newsman Howard Beale, at the end of his rope, on-camera, speaking to his in-studio audience and millions of people in their homes:
“So, you listen to me. Listen to me! Television is not the truth. Television’s a god-damned amusement park. Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats, storytellers, dancers, singers, jugglers, sideshow freaks, lion tamers, and football players. We’re in the boredom-killing business… We deal in illusions, man. None of it is true! But you people sit there day after day, night after night, all ages, colors, creeds. We’re all you know. You’re beginning to believe the illusions we’re spinning here. You’re beginning to think that the tube is reality and that your own lives are unreal. You do whatever the tube tells you. You dress like the tube, you eat like the tube, you raise your children like the tube. You even think like the tube. This is mass madness. You maniacs. In God’s name, you people are the real thing. We are the illusion.”
It is Beale’s language and the passion with which he delivers it that constitutes his dangerous weapon. Therefore, the Network transforms him into a cheap religious figure, whose audience slathers him with absurd adoration.
Television’s enemy is the word. Its currency is image.
Beale occasionally breaks through the image and defiles it. He cracks the egg. He stops the picture-flow. He brings back the sound and rhythm of spoken poetry. That is his true transgression against the medium that employs him.
The modern matrix has everything to do with how knowledge is acquired.
Television, in the main, does not attempt to impart knowledge. It strives to give the viewer the impression that he knows something. There is a difference.
The impression of knowing is a feeling, a conviction, a belief the viewer holds, after he has watched moving images on a screen and listened to a narrator. THIS is what the viewer prefers. He wants no part of knowledge.
A basic premise of modern age is: “everything is (connected to) everything.” This fits quite well with the experience of watching video flow.
Example: we see angry crowds on the street of a foreign city. Then young people on their cell phones sitting in an outdoor café. Then the marble lobby of a government building where men in suits are walking, standing in groups talking to each other. Then at night, rockets exploding in the sky. Then armored vehicles moving through a gate into the city. Then clouds of smoke on another street and people running, chased by police.
A flow of consecutive images. The sequence, obviously, has been assembled by a news editor, but the viewing audience isn’t aware of that. They’re watching the “interconnected” images and listening to a news anchor tell a story that colors (infects) every image: “This is revolution for democracy, created by the technology of cell phones…”
Viewers thus believe something. Television has imparted a sensation to them.
Therefore: a short circuit occurs in the mind.
When you export this pattern out to a whole society, you are talking about a dominant method through which “knowledge” is groped and held close.
“Did you see that fantastic video about the Iraq War? It showed that Saddam actually had bioweapons.”
“Really? How did they show that?”
“Well, I don’t remember. But watch it. You’ll see.”
And that’s another feature of the modern acquisition of “knowledge”: amnesia about details.
The viewer can’t recall key features of what he saw. Or if he can, he can’t describe them, because he was inside them, busy building up his impression of knowing something.
story strips out and discards conceptual analysis. To the extent it exists, it’s wrapped around and inside the image and the narration.
Paddy Chayefsky made his pen a sword, because he was writing a movie about television, against television. He was pitting Word against Image.
When a technology (television) turns into a method of perception, reality is turned inside out. People watch TV through TV eyes.
Mind control is no longer something merely imposed from the outside. It is a matrix of a self-feeding, self-demanding loop.
Willing Devotees of the Image WANT images, food stamps of the programmed society.
The triumph of Network is that it makes its words win over pictures, IN a picture, IN a film.
A pandemic, the false pandemic I’ve been rejecting in many articles, is delivered through video flow and narration. Stacked and cut images.
There is no challenge to the flow in any basic way, through the intrusion of actual knowledge, because that would shut down the parade of images and nullify the reasons for broadcasting them in the first place.
The old theater adage, “the show must go on,” when adapted for television, becomes, “the flow must go on.” Once its course is set, there can be no turning back.
The television audience, imprisoned in homes, rides the river…

I wish we could start talking about SOMETHING ELSE besides the pandemic that isn’t.
I’m so sick of hearing this crap from every direction, all day and all night, it’s just getting flat-out disgusting.
Certainly, there must be something else we can focus on.
If America had been focused on REAL LIFE last year, we wouldn’t be in the democrat mess we’re in right now. We all knew Adam Schiff and his cronies were up to something but we failed to pay attention, and now look what we have. And he’s STILL ON TV TALKING ABOUT TRUMP. The man is a weasel with vengence for Trump that is non-stop. Why don’t we start talking about how to get rid of some of these insane democrats and their unGodly rules??

Because you wouldn’t HEAR IT ANYWAY.
From what you have written, you are JUST AS ASLEEP as the people you are ranting on about.
Trump was/is as much a part of the PROBLEM as whatever else you think is behind the troubles of these times.
The Howard Beale speech from NETWORK just quoted above should be modified slightly, after 4 decades of exposure, to replace the word TELEVISION with INTERNET.

Dear Arthur Danu, Yes, we’ve all been affected (infected?). From birth, the images and the words were programmed for a bigger, deceitful purpose. They call it “programming” for a reason. Words mean things.
Only through a personal commitment to the truth can one escape the many traps set for our slavery. It’s our time and duty to “wake up” and stop “American Dream”-ing. Thank you for your comment.

SILENT FLIGHT
The Ancient Archer rises just past Midnight’s curtain’s falling. He looks to the countenance of the deep dark sky. Cobalt blue with streaks of coal, stretch across his horizon & wafts through the air. Silence.
He turns his helmeted head to & fro, feeling Passion’s pain. Like Cupid, he desires Passion’s gain.
He finely-crafted his bow. Once a standing tree, that now sees unseen.
He threads his loop upon the lower notch & secures it fast, upon his mast. He pushes down atop the recurve & attaches string’s looped-other-ed end. He allows the greater limb to relax, the curve seeks its distance, as strung string sings to tension. Silence.
He wrestles his Osage orange mantle by the riser & deftly spins the strung stinger about a worn fingertip. Worn, but not weary, of heart.
The bow revolves to its silence & lays rest into weathered leathered palm.
He reaches into the darkness behind him & gently pulls a hand-crafted arrow, from its sleeping abode, within hammered leather quiver. Silence.
He plucks his string to sound. While still vibrating, he places arrow’s nock onto the singing string. Silence.
He reads the terrain of gain. He sees it not with eyes of gold, nor silvered stain. Purple mountains shield view. Raging rivers cross his arrow’s path. Valleys swing waters’ flow. Whispering winds whip up their discharge. Phalanx-ed peaks assemble, in-row, in-toe.
No dry-fire within this silent Moment. Silence.
In dancing arching frame-Work, he points honed tip high above Sky. His eye & aim, sharpens still. Silence, all-the-more, stilled.
Silence. Moment. Yet awash in waving momentum. But in a moment more, he studies & steadies himself.
Grasping weathered fingers release in accord. His string sings his strummed chord.
Arrowed-thought takes flight.

I just watched Network a couple of months ago! I read you blog every morning, it is right up there with my spiritual books and meditation.
You cut through the thick film of delusion that envelops our society.
I listen to Power Beyond the Matrix daily and have begun your exercises!
I have intuitively known everything you say to be true, but then I would fall into self doubt – ‘they’ can’t be wrong, I must be wrong, I would say to myself. Finding your book and listening to all the research you have done has pulled me into a state of confidence into knowing what I know and following my path of and power beyond the Matrix.
Thank you!

Mr. Rapport,
Your article about pandemics, NETWORK, being staged on television was excellent and more important today than ever before today. You focused on the movie, Network, which I saw a long time ago. You put into words, and reminded me that a series of images can generate “meaning” similar to series of words, except less accurately than a presentation of words.
Your descriptions and depictions of Network were scarily accurate and clarified by your critical remarks. I was happy to have received your communication. I appreciate your existence in my life. We will meet in the future.

Perfecto. So, despite the myth that the internet has opened up the door to knowledge and made television the “dinosaur media”, it’s still the actual source, and the internet only an extension. How did they do that?

The internet really is the door to knowledge; not a
myth.
But you have to know where to look and to use your own discernment and intelligence.
It takes thought and effort to find knowledge using
the internet particularly if reading rather than
watching videos. Videos can be paused though giving
time for notes.
Watching television requires no thought or effort
and most people think the TV news tells them the
truth, especially now about the lies and deception which is “covid”.

Go to YouTube and check the front page. It used to be all original content from independent content creators. On topics ranging from spirituality to medicine to politics to sports. Now it’s just endless clips from SNL, Jimmy Fallon and News. Media, big Pharma and their proxies have effectively bought the internet and turned it into the same corporate narrative monopoly we see across all media. What used to be a sea of ideas has become a swirling toilet. Think about that before you dive in.

Here’s a 2003 article that Jon wrote about how HIV=AIDS was also a plandemic with the goal of depopulating the 3rd world.
Many scientists are members of a CULT so they truly believe in HIV=AIDS. But someone in the shadows was propping them up. Anyone who reads one of the many HIV “denialist” books, including Jon’s excellent book, quickly realizes the entire thing is a SCAM. And yet, 99% of the public still believes in it. So my guess is the COVID-19 SCAM won’t be uncovered anytime soon- unless high deaths from the vaccines finally causes the whole thing to collapse.

This link has some pdfs of Stefan Lanka articles about why no infectious viruses exist. Lanka is the inspiration for Andrew Kaufman and Thomas Cowan, etc.
Here’s a summary of Lanka’s main points. The claim is that SARS-COV-2 is a “word” that consists of 30,000 “letters”. (Instead of A-Z, only 4 letters- A,C,G and T/U are used.) The claim is the saliva or mucous of an “infected” person is teeming with this word. So why can’t anyone find the (full) word in these bodily fluids? They also claim this word binds to a receptor in cells and then hijacks the cell’s machinery in order to make more copies of the word, killing the cell. Then why can’t anyone find the (full) word in the body or in a cell culture? Instead, virologists only find snippets of the word. But it turns out our cells naturally produce many such snippets (e.g. exosomes). Since they can’t find the full word, the virologists use PCR to identify “snippets” and then they align them and fill in the blanks with computer models to create the full (imaginary) “word”! Every time they do this process, they find a slightly different word and they call this a “variant”! This is the greatest scientific HOAX of all time and those who perpetuate it are all members of a CULT! If the public understood this, then COVID-19 would be OVER. Instead, 99% of the public just blindly believes all of the lies.
Here’s how PCR is used to detect this “word” in an “infected” patient: Instead of detecting the full “word”, virologists pick a segment of the word instead (e.g. a snippet from the word that is only ~1,000 letters long). They then create primers that consist of the first ~30 letters of the snippet and the final ~30 letters at the end of the snippet. If PCR detects these primers in a test sample, then it will double everything between the primers with every “cycle” that PCR is run (2,4,8, 16, 32 … all the way up to 35 trillion times if 45 cycles are run!) PCR is run in order to magnify this snippet until enough of it is present in order to detect it. The BIG assumption, though, is that the primers are “specific” enough to reliably detect this snippet (who says that the letters between the primers will truly match the rest of the snippet). Even if this snippet is found, then who’s to say this snippet is actually part of the full word?! I.e. PCR is only checking for ~60 letters of the full 30,000 long word! If a high number of cycles are needed to detect this snippet, then you can guarantee that it’s just noise (a tiny fragment that happened to match the primers, not the full snippet). The WHO recommended 45(!) cycles until Biden became president. PCR is a fantastic manufacturing technique, but it’s USELESS to detect a “viral infection”. Fauci and the WHO and CDC all know this and are LYING in order to justify the “emergency” vaccines.
Finally, I’ll mention Bayesian conditional testing, which afflicts all medical testing. Let’s say a test is 95% accurate but only 1 out 1000 people are “infected”. You test positive for the “virus”- what is the chance you’re really infected? 1000-1=999 people are not infected, but 999 x 5%= ~50 people will falsely test positive. The chance you have the “virus” then is only 1/(1+50)= ~2%. 98% of “positive” cases are FALSE! COVID-19 is not a real disease then but rather a reclassification of numerous other illnesses (e.g., the flu, colds, and perhaps EMF as well which can cause “radio sickness”).

Why don’t we see covid vax being advertised like other pharmaceuticals on tv? Those other products include disclaimers regarding side effects so it would be interesting to see them do the same for the covid vax shots. Given the deep state’s emphasis on covid vax, you would think they WOULD run ads like other products… which obviously “work”, otherwise they wouldn’t buy tv time as they do.

Who knew that the boxy-looking television with the small round screen showing grainy black-and-white flickering images in the corner of the living room back in the 1950s would be the opening Weapon of Mass Destruction/Detraction that would lead to the eventual death of humanity?

An offering: Perhaps there were some persons who long ago had the capability of recognizing the garbage spewed by tv screens. As an example, here is a story for readers. On one dreary, foggy, rainy Saturday morning a small group of youngsters gathered in a living room to watch the cartoons. At about 11 AM a young man of about 18 years of age came into the room and said the rain has stopped. How about we turn off the tv and go outdoors and do something else. The youngsters said nothing and kept watching the tube. Perhaps 15 minutes later the older fellow came back in the room and said pretty much the same thing, adding that it was drying up outside. This occurred two more times and the message from older fellow became strongwer and more insistent each time. Then 12 noon came and went by. The older fellow returned about 10 minutes later and was adamant. He told the youngsters – ‘Listen, it is dry and warming up, besides the cartoons are over. How about you guys get out, get some fresh air and sunshine.’ Once more the youngsters refused. Readers will likely never guess what happened next. The older fellow came in once again and made the same appeal. Then, at about 1:30 in the afternoon the older fellow came back into the room with a croquet mallet, walked over and stood right next to the little tv. Without a word he swung the mallet and smashed the tv tube into little shards of glass!
So, there you have a true story. What do you think? This happened in 1970 or 1971. I guarantee this story is true because I was one of those 4 younger folks. Other winesses to the event are still alive and probably at least one of them can recall that day and what took place. So, do you think the older fellow was ‘crazy’ or could it be that he somehow knew that propaganda and lies were the primary message of TV?

The angles and staging, the one that gets me is undertone of media is the mommy act fake friendly angle, pretend they’re ‘watchin out fer us’, so people keep listening, when nothing they say matters.
Yammer about a traffic accident is nonsense and makes no difference in an area of a million people, while by their silence on what actually matters, it continues false paradigm .
Though, at base also like Jon says the situation comes down to how or why more people yet don’t disengage.
The key to freedom is each other imo, not interloper cons, which so-called media by it’s existance stops people from focus on each other, and what people could otherwise learn from each other. In any case second paragraph in article reminds me exactly of the ebola con, the hazmat suits, paid off doctor cons in white coats doing their act, so staged. What if one day everyone in media said ‘i’m part of a distraction always have been’, or they duck out and computer sims that sound exactly like them do the chatter, but it’s all computer. Wonder how many would know the difference.
Anyway you’re the best Jon, haven’t been able to read much lately, caught up in a negative thing at moment but think of you every day and appreciate knowing your effort, and I share the site every day when I’m out doing something. I just strike up a two second convo and say hey on the covid thing just look at this site and give them site address.

People made television in their own warped interests, so naturally the “news” portion is largely destructive to what is right and good. As long as the masses of asses are slaves to their media, there’s no hope for great changes in humanity. People don’t like having to improve meaningfully; that’s an admission that something’s wrong in the first place, and they have far too much “self esteem” for that! Free thinkers need to make our own changes and live in avoidance of the mainstream. The mainstream, specifically in democracies (mob rule), will always be arse-holes forcing their moronic decisions onto everyone, and they’ve always been like that. Sometimes they get it right, but most often they’re a huge and burdensome disappointment, to put it lightly. I pray this changes drastically, of course. Maybe the “Biden” administration’s disastrous blunders will bring that about here in the USA? I can still dream.

The 70s were a prophetic gold mine of movies. We had ‘Network’, ‘Three Days Of The Condor’,’The Parralax Views, and ‘The Formula’. There may have been others but these stand out to me. Each in their own way offered up a sliver of light to show us what was, is and will be happening. Call it predictive programming. Call it a hidden warning from unseen hands but to me, in this day at age, I call them prescient warnings to those who have ears to hear and eyes to see.

TV and the internet are the reason you don’t know what is true or real. And we’ve sadly reached a point where we may never know again. Reality is brought to you over the airwaves by invisible signals. Nearly all of this reality is now stored in binary code on drives and servers. Accessible for the moment via cables or these same airwaves. But otherwise COMPLETELY INTANGIBLE. ALL OF REALITY IS NOW COMPLETELY INTANGIBLE The entire operations and finances of most businesses are stored in the same form. Your mortgage, retirement, college credentials, healthcare records, etc, all electronic binary code, subject to removal from existence and history with one power outage. All it would take is one switch being flipped for it all to cease to exist without a trace. For reality as you know it to cease to exist. And what’s to stop those at the top from doing this? And then, when you’ve lost everything and the world is one moment from complete implosion, flipping the switch back on with completely new imagery, new companies, new records of who you are, and new truths. You should grasp that the COViD debacle was a dry run of this. A ‘lite’ version. And so many submitted themselves to it. What did so many do during this time? They spent even more time starting at their phones or TVs. Living more of their life in the fickle electronic reality instead of the real one. Where a virus was killing us, police were killing us, whites were killing us. It was such compelling TV, thank God we didn’t have to go to work and miss any of it. So while it may sound cliche, you have to grasp just how astute Jon is in labeling this The Matrix. It fully is to an extent far beyond what you may be willing to believe. All of reality as we know it could be deleted, edited or turned off a minute from now and there would be no getting it back. I laugh when I hear the Trump faithful cursing electronic voting while they all effectively live the entirety of their lives inside a Doninion machine. A manipulated electronic record that is completely devoid of substantive truth, or even the inclination to care what it is. That can be corrupted, rewritten or erased only to have that become the new reality. This is what the electronic information world we live in really is. An illusory program on a computer relayed to you on a screen, with no substantive truth or reality to be found. If it isn’t making you comp!etely crazy, its only because you cannot even summon the brain activity to acknowledge it from your hypnotized state. I have said for nearly a decade now, on these pages and mnay others “Turn off the TV”. It’s the only thing I use the internet for. To tell you to stop using the internet. Go out into the real world and make it real again while you still have a chance.

If your boyfriend gets arrested and you are the one going to bail him out, and you are in a stolen car and don't have a driver's license, you should walk to jail. One woman did not.
On Friday, July 8, 41-year-old Jaime Marie Estenson of Sioux Falls drove her 2007 Chevy Suburban to the Lyon County Law Enforcement Center in Rock Rapids, Iowa to bail her boyfriend out of jail, according to
Deputies at the sheriff's office discovered that Estenson had her driver's license revoked in South Dakota. Then when asked to provide proof of insurance or a registration document for the vehicle, she could not produce them.
As deputies dug deeper, they discovered that it was not her vehicle at all. The Suburban was reported stolen out of Worthington, Minnesota, and was valued at more than $11,000.
Estenson's boyfriend would have to wait for his bond as she was arrested and charged with first-degree theft, operation without a registration card or plate, no valid driver’s license, and failure to provide proof of vehicle liability insurance.

As restaurants and grocers push into omnichannel models, expanding their suite of online payment offerings, their vulnerabilities to new types of fraud attacks also increases. Susceptibility to data insecurity in the industry became exceedingly clear when Panera revealed a shocking data leak earlier this month. In fact, food and beverage fraud climbed 117 percent last year compared to 2016 and is continuing to rise, according to the latest Fraud Attack Index from Forter and the MRC. Companies that offer online payment options for food or alcohol delivery aim to provide a frictionless and efficient service every time and need a fraud solution that can keep up with their business needs.
The opportunity that comes with expansion into online ordering also presents risks. Companies must be cognizant of whether it is in their best interest to sell directly to their diners (thereby gaining more insight into their clientele and building up a robust database of identifiable customers), or to rely on third party apps or services to provide their payment portals (think GrubHub and UberEats). The risks associated with using third party providers could mean the difference between a thriving business and one struggling to stop chargebacks from “eating away” at net revenue.
Customers expect delivery quickly and without a headache, meaning the payment portal restaurants and grocers choose must provide seamless shopping and ordering for customers. Systems that rely on time-consuming manual reviews of payments (whether internal or via third party providers), simply will not scale. For example, dinner rushes or upticks in orders due to holidays or big events, could mean high operational costs if manual reviews are applied to each order. In addition to potentially losing customers because of the time it takes to approve or decline their payments, human error often makes this system inaccurate. If a fraudulent order slips through the cracks, the restaurant generally has to refund the customer through a chargeback, which cuts into overall revenue.
Beyond worrying about chargebacks at check-out, restaurants need to be ready for new fraud techniques, as the point of transaction is no longer the only payment pain point. There is the need for a solution that can fill the void in both the cost of inaccurate manual reviews and protection against all forms of online fraud.
Click-and-collect is a prime example of how fraudsters exploit the online payment system. For example, say a fraudster wanted to purchase and resell mid-range priced alcohol. Let’s imagine this fraudster is sophisticated enough to know that if he attempted to buy dozens of the most expensive bottles the store had to offer, this could invite suspicion. As a work-around, the fraudster might instead use multiple credit cards and devices obtained online to place orders at various stores in a proximal distance to his location. By doing so, the fraudster would be able to pick up each order from the selected stores in a quick time frame and be long gone before the stores had any idea what had happened or any manual reviews could have been executed to prevent the scam. In this case, the restaurants affected would have to spend their own money to pay for the fraudster’s food.
So how can restaurants and food/beverage vendors capitalize on online delivery and payment options, while also protecting their businesses from malicious actors?
Without a manual component, businesses can rest assured that even during peak purchase hours they will have a fraud scould elongate the delivery time, making for disgruntled customers.
Beyond applying a real time solution that protects against chargebacks, restaurants and businesses will need to consider a more holistic approach to cover some of the biggest pain points they can’t otherwise protect against and may not always consider dangerous. Solutions will need to provide coverage for every action along the customer journey, protecting businesses and customers from all methods of fraudulent activity. Coupon abuse, referral abuse, and loyalty point program abuse, are all vulnerabilities for restaurants and grocers using online payment options. The exploitation of any of these types of programs on a company’s platform could mean lost revenue and diminishing lifetime value of customers. Plus, these threats aren’t only coming from experienced fraudsters. Recent research shows that “friendly fraudsters” —ordinary buyers who cheat their way into getting unfair discounts—began rivaling professional fraud techniques for the first time in 2017.
The best strategy for preventing fraud combines man and machine. For example, Forter, a leading e-commerce fraud prevention solution, has a team of experts feeding complex data into machine learning systems. If a restaurant suffers from fraudulent customers abusing their coupon service, Forter’s system is able to calibrate and adjust, aggregating thousands of data points instantly to understand that the attempt is fraudulent and prevent this bad customer from further actions on the site.
Sophisticated types of fraud call for sophisticated solutions. Manual reviews, as well as limiting fraud prevention to the point of transaction, simply doesn’t cut it anymore. Food and beverage companies must adopt more holistic strategies as they look to expand their online payment options and maintain a seamless customer experience.
Michael Reitblat is the co-founder and CEO of leading e-commerce fraud prevention company, Forter. Michael began his career in Israeli military intelligence where he was trained in cybersecurity and how to prevent it. After his service, he played a key part in building the first company to specialize in online fraud, and when the business was acquired by PayPal, he helped develop the successful fraud prevention system that the payments giant still uses today. But Michael was still determined to make his vision of totally fraud-free e-commerce a reality, which is why he founded Forter in 2013. Under Michael’s leadership, Forter has secured $50M in funding from VCs like Sequoia capital, doubled its client base of Fortune 500 companies and disruptive startups in the past year and earned recognition for its success in 2018 from prominent organizations like Forbes and Fast Company.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to obtain a holistic view of aspects of a Student Support Services (SSS) program to understand how that program might motivate students to persist in and graduate from college. A case study design was used for this research investigation. An SSS program that had years of experience and a successful track record in assisting first-generation, low-income students to persist in and graduate from the postsecondary institution (located at a mid-sized university) was selected for in-depth case study. This study examined the extent to which program services as well as the program professional staff were identified as motivating participants to persist in and graduate from college. This study employed qualitative techniques to collect data from former SSS participants and from program staff. Eight SSS graduates and three staff members of a SSS program were the participants. Each participant was interviewed using a tape recorder to ensure accurate recording of responses. An analysis of the data revealed that former SSS participants were motivated by program staff to remain enrolled in and eventually graduate from the institution. From this study, four themes emerged: financial support, integration, relationships and enlightenment (F.I.R.E.). Together, they represent what motivated students to succeed at the postsecondary institution. The need for financial assistance (counseling and tuition and fees) caused some participants to join and remain in the program. The participants indicated that they were helped to integrate into the social and academic systems of the program and institution. They were encouraged and allowed to socially interact with their peers at a very high level, which sometimes led to meaningful relationships. Finally, they felt enlightened as a result of program staff, activities, and unimagined opportunities afforded to them through the SSS program.

Study in Greece Master’s of the Week: Professor Spiros Efthimiopoulos presents the Athens International Master’s Program in Neurosciences, NKUA
Print
Emal advantages of our country. In particular, the campaign focuses on the foreign language study programs that Greek Universities offer to Greek and international students. The initiative is supported by the General Secretariat of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs and the General Secretariat for Greeks Abroad and Public Diplomacy of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs. In this context, a number of educational programs and actions are presented in detail on a regular basis, such as undergraduate and postgraduate programs, summer schools etc, to inform international students about the many foreign language options offered by Greek Universities.
Study in Greece interviewed Professor Spiros Efthimiopoulos, Director of the Athens International Master’s Program in Neurosciences at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Department of Biology, on the program’s rationale, content and its prospects for international students. Spiros Efthimiopoulos is Professor of Animal & Human Physiology – Neurobiology in the Department of Biology at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. Efthimiopoulos holds a PhD in Neurobiology from the Biology Department of the University of Patras and is the author of numerous publications and a pioneer in molecular neuroscience of Alzheimer’s disease.
Could you please describe briefly the history, the rationale and the content of the Master in Neurosciences?
The Athens International Master’s Program in Neurosciences was first established in 2017 and is the combined effort of the majority of Neuroscience University Departments and Research Institutes in Athens. Its Director of studies is Professor Spiros Efthimiopoulos. The program is interdisciplinary in content and inter-departmental in structure since the majority of Neuroscience Departments and Research Centres in Athens contribute to it each year. The program is modular, flexible to participants’ backgrounds and interests and provides both theoretical and practical training, including two research laboratory rotations. What makes it distinct from other postgraduate Neuroscience Programs in Greece is that its curriculum covers the entire spectrum of the neurosciences, bridging the gap between molecular and cellular neuroscience to systems neuroscience and high-level cognitive processes, including computational neuroscience and big data analytics.
In the framework of the program, you cooperate with different institutions and research centers. Tell us a few words about this “spirit of cooperation” and how important it is for the success of the program.
The Athens International Master’s Program in Neurosciences takes an integrated approach to neuroscience and provides skills training in a wide range of experimental and theoretical methods intended to enable students to ask questions and tackle problems that transcend the traditional disciplines from which neuroscience has evolved.
In order to succeed in its goal, the program promotes a spirit of cooperation between almost all University Departments and Research Centers in Athens including the following:
Department of Biology of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens
Department of Nursing of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens
Department of Dentistry of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens
School of Medicine of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens
Foundation for Biomedical Research of the Academy of Athens
National Center for Scientific Research "Demokritos"
Hellenic Pasteur Institute
Biomedical Sciences Research Center “Alexander Fleming”
National Research Foundation
Given that the Master’s courses are delivered in English, would you like to tell us why this program aims to attract international students?
The neuroscience community in Athens and in Greece is very strong and thus we believe that we can provide very high-quality neuroscience education, equivalent to most well-known programs.
Why should an international student choose this Master’s? Could you tell us about the benefits and the prospects offered to an international student by this interdisciplinary program?
The Athens International Master’s Program in Neurosciences offers a comprehensive curriculum to all theoretical and experimental aspects of neuroscience, including its interaction with the endocrine and immune systems. All courses are taught in English by Greek and international academics.
The academic year begins early in October and is divided into four terms. The first term provides a comprehensive introduction to neuroscience and research methods followed by a laboratory rotation (research project), while the second term combines advanced taught courses and one laboratory rotation. The third and fourth terms include a thesis (dissertation research project).
Each lab rotation lasts two months and is selected according to the interests of the students and the availability of the supervisor. The dissertation project lasts about 11 months and is also selected on the basis of student interests and the availability of the supervisor. If students are interested in a particular lab or research topic, they are welcome to discuss a potential project with the relevant supervisor. Many of these projects lead to publications.
What has the output of the program been so far? Is it satisfactory?
The output of the program is satisfactory since most students have continued with PhD studies in Greece or abroad.

Are there any ties between the International Program and the job market?
Despite the short time since its inception, the program is well-known in Greece and is highly valued. There is also a high demand for our graduates by research laboratories and the pharmaceutical industry.
Considering that Neurosciences is a high-demand scientific field, could we argue that with such academic initiatives Greece has the potential to become an international study and research destination?
Greece through the millennia has always had a strong presence in the Neuroscience field. Greeks were among the first who began investigating the brain as the center of consciousness and physical functioning and around 700 BC Alcmaeon of Croton (6th century BC) was the first to discover that all sensory organs, e.g. the eyes, were connected to the brain via channels, or poroi. He contributed to the terminology of the four out of the five senses (sight, hearing, taste, and smell) in understanding sensation and perception. Later philosophers, such as Plato, used the concept of the brain as one of the most important organs, responsible for understanding and intelligence. Hippocrates identified the brain as the source of the Sacred Disease (epilepsy). Galen contributed to the discovery and distinction between motor and sensory neurons.
Excellence in the neurosciences has continued with contemporary Greek neuroscientists both in Greece and abroad. Greek neuroscientists publish regularly in high impact research and internationally recognized journals and conferences.
Apart from excellence in neuroscience, Greece is well known for its culture, excellent weather, and superb cuisine. Thus, beyond mastering neuroscience, our students can also enjoy the largest open-air museum during the mostly sunny and dry days in Athens. These include the Acropolis and the Parthenon, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the Arch of Hadrian, the Theatre of Dionysus, the Panathenaic Stadium-Kallimarmaro, the iconic Temple of Olympian Zeus, the pedestrian avenue of Dionysios Areopagitou, Pnyx Hill, Thiseio, Monastiraki, Plaka and the surroundings of the Attiki region and beyond that are full of ancient temples and Byzantine monuments. In addition, Athens has a great number of museums (such as the Acropolis Museum, the National Archaeological Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, the museum of Greek Folk Art and of Greek Folk Musical Instruments, the War Museum, the Benaki Museum, the Museum of Cycladic Art, the National Gallery, and many others.
Moreover, students will also have the opportunity to enjoy the excellent natural surroundings and coastline, as well as the easily accessible Aegean islands. Thus, we foresee that all these initiatives will establish Greece as an international study destination.
