Ben Affleck: 'Matt Damon Will Always Be My True Robin'
Posted on March 15, 2015 by Josh Marcus
LOS ANGELES, California –
When Ben Affleck was cast as Batman for the upcoming addition to the superhero franchise, Batman Vs Superman, the big question on everyone's lips was, "Huh?" The next question was, who else will star in the series? In October, speculation grew that Jena Malone will play the Dark Knight's sidekick, Robin.
At the time, the discussion focused on the casting of a female in the iconic role. But as interest in the feminist side died down, the public began to wonder about the status of Affleck's well-known bromance with Matt Damon. After the ensuing social media storm, Affleck has finally had his say on the matter.
"Matt will always be my Robin," the Argo star said. "Nothing will come between us, not even some feminoid playing his part."
Matt Damon spoke to the media with a brave face. Clearly hurting inside, he stated defiantly that it did not bother him.
"I don't care," he said. "Who's Ben Affleck to me? The days of Good Will Hunting and the like are long gone."
Soon, however, the Bourne star broke down.
"When he played Daredevil, he said the only reason I couldn't be his sidekick was because they hadn't written one into the script. But how about now? Robin… Robin was meant to be… I can't do this anymore."
Affleck tried to calm his best friend down by insisting that he hadn't had a say in who played which characters. When this approach failed, he organized an airplane to fly over Damon's house, trailing a banner with the words, "Matt, you will always be my Robin, no matter what they say."
Damon has since told the media that everything is resolved, especially since "Ben told me he's gonna direct his own Batman series when this is done, and then I'll play the part that was always meant to be mine."

Christian Bale Caught On 'Batman V Superman' Set, Says He Was 'Looking For Imposter'
Posted on February 15, 2015 by Josh Marcus
"There's an imposter in Gotham City. He claims to be me, he even wears the same suit as I do, but he is not me and he must be stopped."
These were the grunted, barely audible words of former Batman star, Christian Bale, spoken while wandering around the set of much anticipated 2016 release, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, apparently looking for Ben Affleck.
Although disguised in the trademark cape and bat mask, cast and crew reportedly recognized Bale by the limp he affected for the last of The Dark Knight trilogy. Their suspicions were confirmed when at one point he called a child extra "God," momentarily lapsing into the role of Moses, the character he played in Exodus: Gods and Kings.
Anne Hathaway, who recently returned with Bale from a cafe in Paris where they'd been living together, said that the transition has been hard for the celebrated actor.
"He's not sure who he is right now," Hathaway said. "Bruce never wanted to leave the vigilante life behind. It was the same after filming American Psycho, when he would roam the halls of Justin Theroux's apartment block, naked and bloody with a chainsaw in his hands."
When asked who she meant by Bruce, she responded, "Bruce? I said Christian, not Bruce. Who's Bruce?"
According to director Zack Snyder, everyone is now used to Bale's presence on set.
"He's been hanging around for weeks now, struggling to identify the imposter. We're all used to him. It's always quite exciting when he holds one of the cast members up against the wall and demands information, sometimes tying them up with the rope he carries on his belt. What's really weird though, is sometimes he throws on this horrible New York accent, and tried to get me to buy newspapers while singing and dancing. The man is a gas, but sometimes it's just odd."
According to production assistants on set, when Affleck was pointed out to Bale, the Dark Knight responded in his scratchy whisper, "You think you can fool me that easily? Only an idiot would believe that guy could pass for me."

Ben Affleck Quits Role As Batman, Studio Hires Chris Pratt As Replacement
Posted on August 26, 2014 by carriesnotscary
After several months and an incomplete movie role, Ben Affleck officially announced his immediate resignation from the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman. Affleck's resignation came in a comment he left on a thread insulting him on popular website Reddit.com. Within minutes of Warner Bros. confirming the resignation with Affleck's publicist, they hired Chris Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy, "Parks and Recreation") to fill the role.
The original announcement on Reddit came from Affleck's official Reddit account, Ben_Affleck. It was a response to a comment from user 'Y_isBenBatman', that asked, as even their username pointed out, why Warner Bros. would ever hire Ben Affleck to play Batman. The comment was up-voted over ten thousand of times.
The response via the Ben_Affleck account was simply "I am Ben Affleck, and I quit Batman."
Affleck has nearly wrapped shooting Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, and was under contract to star as the caped crusader in several other films.
"We don't care that Ben breached his contract. He's a great guy. He's so lovable, but we're so relieved that we don't have to deal with the 'Batfleck' backlash anymore. Plus, thanks to that movie he's got going right now that we desperately wish we had made, Chris Pratt is a mega-star. Not to mention his role on that show about the. . . uh, it's on NBC? Eh, whatever. He's on TV, so he's got a flexible schedule," said a Warner Bros. executive.
When asked to comment, Affleck referred all comments to his wife, Jennifer Garner. "I encouraged him to resign," Garner said. "There've been too many sleepless nights while Ben's on Reddit crying. I just couldn't take it anymore. It was worse than when he read the Daredevil reviews. He still cries about Gigli in the shower, but he can't keep Batman in the shower, you know? It wasn't even this bad when Jersey Girl was coming out."
Pratt, along with Warner Bros., is absolutely thrilled that he has been asked to take on the physically demanding role. "Dude, this is so awesome. I mean, I really feel for Ben. It sucks that he resigned in disgrace and stuff. He's such a good guy, he has Oscars. But, I am Batman now. I never thought my career would go in this direction when I was playing that hippie on The O.C. Man, first I get to guard the galaxy, now I'll get to guard Gotham. Awesome."
According to studio reports, Warner Bros. still has Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice slated for a release date of March 25, 2016. "All we've really filmed so far are shots of Ben in the suit with a lot of devastation in the background, which can be easily replaced. Chris Pratt is a pro, he'll get this done for us in no time," director Zack Snyder said.

Q: How to calculate the Dynkin index and the Casimir operator for arbitrary representation knowing the fundamental ones Suppose I want to find the Dynkin index of the sextet representation $S_2(6)_{SU(3)}$ of $SU(3)$ given that the fundamental is normalized in such a way that $S_2(3)_{SU(3)}=1/2$.
What is the best way to do that?
I guess that I should use the relation
$$
\text{dim}(g)S_2(R)=\text{dim}(R)C_2(R),
$$
where $\text{dim}(g)$ is the group's (i.e., the Lie Algebra's) dimension.
But then, how do I calculate the casimir?
I understand that this is probably a quite formal mathematical development, but I have not found an appropriate reference and appreciate any help.

A: I recommended the Math SE because it is a really terrible idea to learn pidgin group theory from papers and questions here. At a minimum, it's best to learn how to use Slansky, Patera & Mc Kay, etc, applications' minded "phonebooks". There are superb group theory books if you wished to get serious, but physicists avoid that like the pandemic.
For SU(3), the closed formulas of WP suffice. For   p quarks and q antiquarks, so Dynkin labels [p,q], you have the dimension and the quadratic Casimir be
$$
d(p,q)=(p+1)(q+1)(p+q+2)/2, \\ C_2(p,q)= (p^2+q^2+3p+3q+pq)/3.
$$
Hence, for the [2,0], you have d= 6, and $C_2=10/3$, so you use the relation you wrote to determine the index
$$
{6\cdot 10/3 \over 8}= 5/2.
$$
This is the same as the entry for the index in Slansky's Table 23;  which, as you already checked from the fundamental, needs to be halved from his conventions to yours.

A: Your representation has Dynkin labels of $[0, 2]$ because there are zero boxes in the bottom row of the Young tableau and two (more boxes than zero) in the top row. This should be plugged into
\begin{align}
C_2 &= \sum_{i = 1}^2 \sum_{j = 1}^2 (\lambda_j + 2) G^{ji} \lambda_i = 4G^{12} + 8G^{22}
\end{align}
where $G$ is the so called quadratic form matrix. For $SU(N)$ (which has roots all the same length), it is the inverse of the Cartan matrix, which leads to
\begin{equation}
G^{ij} = \frac{1}{3} \begin{pmatrix}2 & 1 \\ 1 & 2\end{pmatrix}.
\end{equation}
The fact that $C_2$ has this relation to the Dynkin labels can be derived in the Cartan-Weyl basis as I mentioned in a math.SE answer, except that was for $SO(N)$.

The M119A1 is a light weight air mobile air droppable (by parachute) or Towed Howitzer with an average crew of seven soldiers. It provides direct and indirect fire support to highly mobile light infantry divisions and separate brigades. The howitzer can be quickly moved and employed to provide maximum fire power with a minimum of combat loaded weight. It also provides a low silhouette and requires no recoil pit. These aspects combined makes the M119A1 Howitzer one of the most lethal weapon systems in the Army inventory.
The M119A1 has greater range, is lighter and has a more rapid rate of fire than its predecessor, the M102, which it replaces in light/ airmobile/airborne units. The M119 weights 4,000 pounds ( complete with BII). The prime mover is the HMMV truck. The M119 is air transportable with its basic load of ammunition by the UH60 helicopter and is dual lift capable with the CH47 Chinook. The M119 fires all current 105-mm ammunition and new propellant is being developed to give the M119 an increased range to approximately 19K with the rocket assisted projectile.
The M119A1 was originally designed, developed, and produced by Royal Ordnance, Nottingham, England as the L118/L119 British Light Gun. In the L118 configuration, the weapon uses separate loading 105mm Abbott type ammunition. The L118 served with distinction during the Falkland Islands conflict. The L119 is identical to the L118 except for the cannon tube which is reconfigured to fire all NATO standard 105mm semi-fixed ammunition.
The U.S. Army, based largely on the success of the L118 during the Falkland Island campaign, purchased operational testing weapons to determine the feasibility of using this weapon in the U.S. Army's new Light Division concept. Key in the Army's evaluation was the ability to airlift an entire Division artillery within the severe light division air transport constraints. The M119A1 easily met this critical challenge. Once the operational questions were satisfactorily answered, the U.S. Army negotiated both a production contract and a license agreement (for production within the U.S.) with Royal Ordnance in 1987.
The M119 was first fielded to the 7th Infantry Division, Ft Ord, CA, in December 1989. Since the initial fielding, it has been reclassified the M119A1 and fielded to the 82nd Airborne Division in July 1991 and to the 101st Airborne (Air Assault) Division in August 1992. Army fielding of the M119A1 wass completed in 1995. The Army National Guard received many new items of equipment in Fiscal Year 1996 through Department of the Army funding, including M119A1 howitzers. The M119A1 will reach the end of its service life around 2008-09.
The howitzer, light, towed, 105-mm, M119, is used as a light, indirect fire support weapon for a light infantry division. The prime mover for the M119 is the M1069 or modified M1037 HMMWV. The M119 can be transported in either the firing configuration (gun extended aft) or the travel configuration (gun folded forward above trail frame). The travel configuration is 4 feet 1.5 inches shorter and 2 feet 9 inches lower than the firing configuration. The travel configuration is used for all modes of transport except external helicopter transport and rail transport on non-cushion-draft flatcars.
The M119 has one recuperator, with a static charge of 750 pounds per square inch gauge (psig). It also has a direct-fire night sight with sealed tritium tubes. Tritium (H3) lamps are part of the fire control devices normally attached to the M119 in its operational configuration. However, the shipper disassembles these devices from the weapon and ships them separately in a special protective container. During transport, this container is packaged in a larger container. The tritium (H3) in the lamps is gaseous hydrogen with not more than 2 percent of the hydrogen in the form of tritiated water. The maximum energy of H3 is 8.6 kiloelectronvolts (keV); the average energy is 5.6 keV. The maximum permissible body burden is 2.0 millicuries. Thus, tritium is not a highly hazardous radioactive material. It is not readily absorbed into the body as a gas, but it is totally absorbed in the form of water. Therefore, care must be taken in handling units containing broken lamps. This is accomplished by minimum handling and thorough washing after any handling.


A Shorten Labor Government will ensure more communities have affordable access to life-saving scans, expanding Medicare-subsidised access to diagnostic imaging in areas where there are shortages.
Labor will invest $80 million to boost the number of eligible MRI machines and approve 20 new licences – meaning 500,000 more scans funded by Medicare over the course of a first Labor budget.
MRI scans are used to detect and diagnose conditions that affect soft tissue – including tumours and cancer – and can mean the difference in detecting a disease as early as possible. But they only attract a rebate if they are performed on a machine with a licence – with many Australians travelling long distances or experiencing significant wait times to access an eligible machine.
Labor's commitment will mean more affordable scans for more Australians, addressing shortages in communities that need it most.
The Turnbull Government has completely neglected MRI scans, granting only four MRI licences in almost five years in office, without any opportunity for other communities to apply.
This has been one of the most disgraceful health policy failures since the Liberals came to power – and that's saying something.
In Government, Labor granted 238 licences, with hundreds of communities benefiting from the early detection and diagnosis of disease today because of Labor's investment.
Last year's Senate Inquiry into MRI licences heard that Turnbull's neglect in this area could have deadly consequences, with evidence that a lack of MRI licenses meant that children were at risk of being overexposed to the radiation of CT scans. Children's Healthcare Australasia gave evidence that for every 1,000 CT scans a new case of cancer is created in an Australian child.
That's why Labor will grant 20 new full MRI licences - five times as many as the Liberals have granted in five years. The first 10 licences will be reserved for public hospitals, with locations determined based on evidence to the Senate Committee.
Importantly, the remaining licences will be awarded via a transparent application process under a Labor Government. This will be the first opportunity for communities around Australia to apply for a licence since Labor was last in office.
This investment in MRI licences comes on top of our $2.8 billion commitment to public hospitals. Labor will reverse Malcolm Turnbull's public hospital cuts and ensure our emergency departments and hospital wards have the doctors, nurses and hospital staff to keep up with record demand.
Instead of giving big business and the banks a $80 billion tax handout – Labor is prioritising working and middle class Australians with better tax relief, better education and better health care.
Labor's commitment will have a financial impact of $80 million over the forward estimates.


Eating a wide variety of foods is the best way to ensure nutritional adequacy and good health. So often parents and providers tell us "Well, I only serve peanut butter sandwiches (or pizza or chicken nuggets) because that's all the kids like and will eat." When we become concerned about preparing a meal of favorite foods, sometimes we lose sight of the importance of introducing young children to the delightful variety of foods that are important for a well balanced diet.
Gather all your tools – paper, pencils, cookbooks/recipes, etc.
Check the ingredients you have on hand.
Decide how far in advance you want to plan – one week, two weeks, one month.
Think about how you want to plan – one day at a time, or all breakfasts, then lunches, then snacks.
Consider the amount of time between snacks and meals. For example, if afternoon snack is a long time after lunch or you are feeding hungry children after school, you may want to have more food available.
Plan for variety – color, texture, shape, temperature, flavors and preparation methods.
Include foods that reflect the ethnic and cultural food practices of the children.
Consider how you serve meals (individual or family style).
Plan for nutritional balance. If you are a child care provider on the Child Care Food Program (CCFP), check to see if your menus follow the CCFP guidelines.
After you have finished planning, use the following checklist to evaluate your menus.

I have just finished the latest set of illustrations for Soreen's squidgy fun activity cards which I will be sending over to the relevant people very soon. I can't show any of that work here and now as these resources are not out until April 2016 and I don't want to end up on anyone's naughty list. I can however show a few bits and bobs from the previous resources which are available to download now.
The purpose of these activity cards is to promote an active lifestyle to families. The following examples are from different cards and not in sequence.
If you've got a young family then these resources are targeted at you. You can download all the current activities here, with two more sets of activities on their way! You can also see more of the work I did for them on the Soreen squidgy fun website!
Now comes the shameless self promotion segment or the me me me portion of the post where I point you toward my website and hint very strongly that you should bookmark my site, link to me on Linkedin, follow me on Twitter and/or subscribe to this blog. If you are interested in working with me I should point out that I am booked up until late March so early April is the time to pencil me in. I don't think that hint was strong enough. CONTACT ME HERE. That's more like it!


The bodycam footage of the dramatic rescue of a toddler inside an overturned car has been released and it's not what I was expecting.
Last week we posted the incredible story of a group of Emergency Responders in Utah that had saved the life of a toddler that was trapped inside an overturned car. The mother of the child had lost control of her vehicle and went off the main road, crashing into a stream below the highway.
No one spotted the wreck until around fourteen hours later when the call was made to the local police station. The first responders arrived within minutes and jumped into the stream to search for survivors. When they approached the overturned car they heard a voice call out for help. When they managed to turn the wreckage over they discovered that the driver, the mother, had been deceased for quite some time. Only her child remained alive, barely clinging on to life.
So that brought up the question of what the Emergency Responders heard. When they were interviewed by KSL News they collectively claimed that they heard a female voice calling from within the wreckage, calling out for their help.
Check out the actual raw footage. You can hear the rescuers answer the pleads for help coming from inside the car. Pay close attention around the 1:56 mark and tell me what you hear.
Wheres my stuff,?wheres my stuff?,wheres my stuff?,now its getting catchy!
Wheres my stuff,?wheres my stuff?,wheres my stuff?
Listen around 1:42, while the officer is talking you start to hear a voice that is female, it sounds very somber and lethargic. At about 1:44 you can here "help me" and then the cop starts talking again, but you can still hear the voice, although it's muddled by the guy talking.
2:00 – "help" distinctly comes from inside the car, there is no mistaking it. Officer responds to her immediately after she says it.
I listened to this thing over and over to make sure I wasn't mistaking the voice for someone at the scene, but it was not a male voice. This really creeped me out to be honest.
Needed or not, people call out for help in those situations, no matter how many people are at the scene, that is just a fact.
I have a great set of headphones, perhaps that's why the voice was clear to me, but start listening at the 1:40 mark when the guy is talking, in a couple seconds you'll hear a low voice saying "help". 1:50 says "she's over here" and at 2:00 you can most definitely hear a voice from in the car, very muffled. It says "help" and right after the cop responds to it.
Listen man I am as skeptical as the next guy, but my speakers aren't creating that sound. I know what I hear. At first I thought it was other people at the scene, but this one voice was not heard before or after the extraction. Can I be certain? Of course not, but I know what I heard.
That's what it seems to me, I couldn't make anything out until people specifically pointed out when and what I should hear.
I'm sorry, but I just didn't hear a thing in the second recording (the first, the YouTube clip, I cannot access because it comes up with the message that "this video is no longer available").
However, in spite of this, I do believe that EVP is real, because long ago (the late 1990's) I had a personal computer that had the habit of spontaneously spewing characters at the DOS prompt (it had not been connected to the internet at any time, by the way, so it couldn't have been a virus). I disassembled the whole thing, replaced everything I thought could be causing it (ex. the fan), changed the hard-drive, but it just persisted. Characters like, Q!uP9d. Completely random. Perhaps they weren't random, and I made the assumption they were not, so I tried to figure it all out, tried to figure out what the messages may be, but unfortunately I wasn't smart enough to do so. In the end I had to get rid of the whole machine, and get a new one. I didn't like the idea of having a haunted computer.

With a name like Brunhilda, you really have no one to blame but your parents when a wise-cracking demon shanghais you into entering a parallel dimension to fulfill an ancient prophecy. That's right up there with Samantha Swift in the "names that are just asking for epic adventures" category. Sure enough, in Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal, your fate-temptingly named heroine traverses a magical continent via teleportation, broom, dragon, flying ship, and more, collecting shards of the crystal. This team effort between Polish developers Codeminion and Twin Bottles features Mortimer Beckett-like hidden object game play and an outstanding fully voice-acted plot.
Unlike your typical hidden object game where you zoom into an area and find a list of items within that area, all the items you'll find in Brunhilda are right on the regular screen. As you progress through the game, you receive quests from various creatures that you meet, and these quests will be stored at the bottom of your screen.
For example, you may need to collect five mushrooms and eight eggs for a chef's omelet. Simply click on the items as you find them and Brunhilda will wave her wand to collect them. You can hover your mouse over your quest to see what progress you've made and how many of each object can be found in your current area, since sometimes you need to move to another area to find all the objects. In addition to object finding, there are also a few mini-games used to brew potions, cast spells, and communicate via crystal ball.
Analysis: Even fully-voiced cutscenes are no longer a guarantee in casual games, so to play a game where every bit of dialogue is spoken is a treat. You can tell the voice actors were having fun coming up with outrageous accents for the creatures Brunhilda meets on her journey, and the dialogue is witty and fun in itself. Plot and aesthetics are definitely Brunhilda's stand-out feature. Objects and backgrounds are lovingly detailed and frequently whimsical.
While the game deserves credit for trying to stand out from the hidden object crowd, by breaking the object finding into a bunch of smaller chunks, it risks becoming repetitious. In order to get what you want from people, they give you a quest for a small number of objects. When you deliver them, you're given another quest for a similar amount of different objects. And another. And then another. While the logic of this gameplay mechanic is obvious, emotionally it can be a bit irritating, even more so because the writing encourages you to identify so much with Brunhilda.
The worst instance is one scene where, in every quest you are given, you must back out of the room and climb a tower to find the objects, then descend and enter the room to complete the quest, whereupon the quest-giver gives you yet another quest that requires climbing back up the tower. It really makes you wonder sometimes why Brunhilda doesn't just knock people out with her wand and take what she wants, or failing that, at least ask "Hey, while I'm doing that, is there anything else we're going to need?"
That said, Brunhilda does so much right (no penalty for misclicks, hurrah!) and has such a great story that it's definitely worth trying. Not to mention that its length of four to five hours is very good for a contemporary hidden object game. Although Brunhilda wasn't a smash hit when it first came out, it's been building up quite a following through word of mouth, which inspired me to try it. I loved it, so why not see what you think?

Argentina marches for women's lives
Andrea D'Atri
Eduardo Castilla
In downtown Buenos Aires, the march grew so massive that it was almost impossible to move, and participants had to wait their turn to take even one step forward. Estimates range between 300,000 and 500,000, making it one of the biggest protests in recent history.
Ph: Hernán Carbia
English version from Socialist Worker
Spanish version from La Izquierda Diario
Shocked by a spate of high-profile crimes against women, including the murder of a kindergarten teacher in front of her students by an estranged husband on April 15 in Córdoba, a growing movement in Argentina is demanding an end to violence against women.
According to official statistics widely criticized for systemic underreporting of such incidents, domestic violence takes the life of at least one woman a day in Argentina, and rates are even higher in neighboring states. In response, the hashtag #NiUnaMenos (Not one less woman) has gone viral on Twitter, with Lionel Messi, one of the best soccer player on the planet, lending his voice on Twitter: "We join all Argentineans today in shouting out loud #NiUnaMenos."
In an article published in La Izquierda Diario (The Daily Left) from Argentina, Andrea D'Atri and Eduardo Castilla report from the June 4 mass demonstrations in Buenos Aires and the solidarity actions around the country and the region.
THE MAIN mobilization in front of the National Congress in Buenos Aires, Argentina, was gigantic, but it also surpassed all expectations in more than 70 cities all across Argentina. And that's not all–coordinated protests took place from Chile to Uruguay to Mexico on Thursday, June 4.
In downtown Buenos Aires, the march grew so massive that it was almost impossible to move, and participants had to wait their turn to take even one step forward. Estimates range between 300,000 and 500,000, making it one of the biggest protests in recent history. At 6:30 p.m., even as thousands began to leave the Plaza de los Dos Congresos, there were still just as many people trying to get into the square. Just going one block could take up to half an hour. People covered almost the entire plaza, but also poured out along Avenida de Mayo, down Avenida 9 de Julio, and filled up several blocks of side streets in all directions.
The mobilization had a broad character. It was very different than the march that took place on February 18 in support of the prosecutors in the Alberto Nisman case. That march saw the upper-middle class in the streets in opposition to left-of-center President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner's national government, but the upper strata were absent on June 4. This time, the majority was a multi-gender crowd of young students and workers (as well as some professionals), many wearing school or work uniforms and coming straight from their factories, offices, hospitals and schools.
Feminist, labor, student, social and community organizations turned out in force alongside many people who came to march as individuals. Dozens of busses and vans were parked, which showed that many people had organized themselves from the surrounding towns and suburbs to get the march. And it was obvious that for many of them, marching in Buenos Aires was a new experience because so many had to ask for directions to this or that street.
All of this added up to an enormous multitude rejecting the epidemic of murder and violence against women. In a special area in front of the main stage, families hung photos around their necks of slain female relatives. Their faces showed a powerful mix of sadness and pain, mingled with the joy of being surrounded by the solidarity of hundreds of thousands of people across the country.
"Let's try to march over there," said one girl to another around 6 p.m. But just then, a column from the Public Employees Association (Asociación Trabajadores del Estado–ATE) began to enter the plaza. So the two young friends were stuck in the middle of the street, hemmed in by the crowd.
A few minutes later, on the other side of the plaza, the railroad workers marched in. Meanwhile, the contingent from the pro-Kirchner youth group La Cámpora appeared, headed by Florencio Randazzo (Minister of Interior and Transportation) and Augustín Rossi (Minister of Defense), among other ranking government officials and bigwigs.
VARIOUS POLITICIANS from the bosses' political parties were out, making a big display of their official staffs. For example, Dulce Granados, a deputy in the National Assembly and the wife of the Buenos Aires Province Minister of Security, showed off a little heart drawn on her right hand while surrounded by dozens of supporters waving placards emblazoned with her own name!
The government threw its support behind the demonstration in the last few days, hoping to avoid it being converted into a purely oppositional mobilization. President Kirchner tweeted her support on the very morning of the march, even though she made no mention of it–or the high rate of murder against women–during her noontime national broadcast from Mendoza. This failure provoked criticism from Noelia Barbeita, the Mendozan gubernatorial candidate for the Socialist Workers Party (Partido de los Trabajadores Socialistas–PTS) in the Left Workers Front (Frente de Izquierda y de los Trabajadores–FIT), who blasted the president for turning her back on the demands raised by thousands of women.
Many well-known celebrities turned out as well, including designer Roberto Piazza as well as actresses Andrea Bonelli and Alejandra Darín and actors Gonzalo Heredia and Arturo Bonín who belong to the Argentine Actors Guild.
Improvised street theater was on display on many corners with young people wrapped in plastic bags and people carrying placards that spelled out #NiUnaMenos. Creativity radiated through the crowd.
The diversity of sentiments in the assembly was expressed in the variety of posters. Just behind the main stage, one banner read, "Jesus said: I have come so that THEY may have LIFE and that they may have it in ABUNDANCE." While a few hundred meters and thousands of people away, a young woman carried a sign reading, "If being a SLUT means being free and in control of my own body, I'm a SLUT. So what?"
The main message, read by actress Erica Rivas and actor Juan Minujín, argued that sexism is a cultural construction. Yet, when we talk about violence against women, we must also focus on barriers to women controlling their own bodies, sex trafficking networks, street harassment and other forms of social and institutional violence, including those in which the security and police forces themselves are involved.
The well-known artist and cartoonist Maitena read, one after the other, the points from a petition which organizers asked politicians to sign, committing themselves to the struggle against gender violence. First among these was a demand to oversee and authorize all necessary resources for a National Action Plan for the Prevention, Punishment and Eradication of Violence Against Women, as is set forth in Act 26.485, passed by the Argentine Congress in 2009. Other demands included victims having access to free legal support during all legal proceedings, the development of a unified official registry of victims of gender violence in order to maintain official and up-to-date statistics, and that comprehensive sex education is guaranteed at all educational levels.
All over the country, the left has joined in the demand for #NiUnaMenos, but it has also denounced the multiple forms of violence against women. The left puts the blame on the institutions responsible for legitimizing, reproducing and justifying this violence. For example, the socialist feminist group Pan y Rosas (Bread and Roses), made up of members of the PTS and independent activists, mobilized more than 3,000 women for the main June 4 march outside the National Congress and another 4,000 in other parts of the country, while Pan y Rosas groups in Chile, Mexico and Uruguay echoed these demands.

Rokkaku-Do Hall
Area: Nakagyo Ward (Nakagyo-ku)
URL: http://www.ikenobo.jp/rokkakudo/index.html
Address: 248 Donomaecho, Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto
Business Hours: 06:00 - 17:00
Disable Friendly: Yes
Parking: Not available. There are meter parkings nearby.
Hexagonal Roof - profound in meaning...
Hexagonal-shaped roof - high level view from the adjacent building.
Official name of this temple is "Choho-ji", located in a convenient area close to the famous Nishiki Market, a narrow alley market right in the central shopping district. People call the temple "Rokkaku-do" Hall, because the shape of the tiled roof is hexagonal ("Rokkaku" = hexagon in English). If you want to see the entire roof, take one of the elevators with glass windows in the building right next to the temple (= West 18 Bldg.) and go up to the upper level. You can see the high level view of the roof.
Why is the roof shape hexagonal ? In Buddhism, there is a concept "Rokkon-Shojo", which means "Purification of six roots of perception". One who is successful in getting rid of all carnal desires by purifying six roots of perception (auditory, olfactory, visual, gustatory, tactile and conscious perceptions) can reach the highest nobility of mind. That is when the six perceptions are well-balanced just like a radar chart forming a perfect hexagonal shape. The hexagonal roof shape represents that ultimate state of mind.
Founder is "Prince Shotoku" - probably the most well-known historical personage in Japan
Prince Shotoku (middle)
Rokkaku-do Hall is an independent branch temple of Tendai Buddhist sect. It was founded in 580, before the capital was moved to Heian-kyo (= current Kyoto) in 794. In 587, "Prince Shotoku", a regent and a high-ranked politician of Asuka Period, came to the area where the current Rokkaku-do Hall stands to look for materials to build Shitenno-ji Temple in Osaka. He found a pond there and he bathed in the pond to cleanse himself and to heal the fatigue after his long journey. While bathing, he placed his Nenji-Butsu (pocket size statue of Buddha which was always kept besides him) in a trunk of a tree. After bathing, he grabbed it but found it did not come off. So, he left it as is. Nenji-Butsu appeared in his dream that night and said it would want to stay there awhile to heal sufferings of people in the area. He agreed and decided to build a temple there for his Nenji-Butsu. The temple was named Rokkaku-do Hall and Nenji-Butsu was enshrined in the hall and it is still there as the principal image of worship.
Principal image is a tiny statue of pocket Buddha
Tiny statue of Nyoirin Kannon
BTW, Nenji-Butsu enshrined in the hall is the statue of "Nyoirin Kannon" (= Bodhisattva of Compassion). It is only 5.5 centimeter tall (a little shorter than 2.2 inches). Unfortunately, it is not ordinarily on public display. Prince Shotoku found this small statue drifted ashore. Since he was thinking that he believed in Nyoirin Kannon in his previous life, he decided to keep it with him as his Nenji-Butsu (pocket Buddha).
Birthplace of art of flower arrangment
Rokkaku-do Hall is the birth place of the art of flower arrangement ("Ikebana" in Japanese). And actually, Rokkaku-do Hall is managed by Ikenobo Society of Floral Art which is located right next to the temple. It is the oldest and largest school of the art of flower arrangement in Japan. One of the apprentices of Prince Shotoku was Imoko Onono. "Imoko" sounds like a woman, but it was He, not She. One day, Prince Shotoku ordered Imoko Onono to start offering flowers to Nyoirin Kannon. The way the flowers were arranged was beautiful, and various flower arrangement techniques were developed over the decades, with the result that the flower arrangement had been gradually recognized as an art since around 15th century.
Small temple, but lots to see
You can see the pond where Prince Shotoku bathed in 587 on the north side of the temple. Swans are peacefully swimming there now - do not feed them because they can bite your fingers.
The other things of interest are;
Navel Stone - center of Kyoto
"Heso-Ishi" (Navel Stone) : The location where Rokkaku-do Hall stands has been considered the center of Kyoto. The spot where the hexagonal-shaped navel stone is placed is the very center of Kyoto.
Willow tree in the precinct
Willow Tree: Willow tree in Rokkaku-do Hall has a mystical power of match-making. There is an interesting legend. Emperor Saga (786 - 842) visited Rokkaku-do Hall to pray for a happy encounter with someone who would be his future wife. Right after the visit, he got a divine revelation in his dream which said "Go to the willow tree". He visited Rokkaku-do Hall again and walked to the willow tree, following the revelation. To his surprise, a beautiful young lady was standing under the tree, and they fell in love instantly -> they got married. With this legend, the tree is said to have a power of match-making. Those who are waiting for happy encounters buy fortune telling slips at the store in the temple, and if the telling is good, they tie two wands of the Willow tree with the slip.
Lastly, this temple had been burnt down 18 times in fire since 1125 till the end of Edo Period (1603 - 1868). The one we see today was the one restored in 1877.
Incense Burning Pot in front of the temple, carried by three small imps.
I love this temple. Not too crowded, and very peaceful with lots of pigeons in the ground. Starbucks is in the adjacent building (West 18 Bldg.) - nice to take a break.
There are not so many temples / shrines around Rokkaku-do Hall, although tons of restaurants and cafes around. If you are interested in "Manga" (Japanese cartoons), International Manga Museum is the place to go before or after your visit to Rokkaku-do Hall. It is located right on the north-west corner of Karasuma Oike intersection.
Entrance gate facing Rokkaku Street
This small pond is where Prince Shotoku bathed
"Temizu-sha" (or "Chozusha") - purification trough. Beautiful Kimono lady standing by the trough.
Sixteen "Rakan" (Arhat) - they look really cute
Local people come here to pray for family safety, longevity, etc.
This temple is surrounded by tall buildings

Book of warrants, 1784-1787, 0.3 linear feet / 1 volume
Administrative Note
Comprised of writs issued by Aaron and Robert Ogden, respectively clerk and junior clerk of Essex County, to the sheriff of Essex County as a result of litigation in the Inferior Court of Common Pleas at Newark. Includes some information on Loyalist forfeited estates.
Deposited by the Daughters of the American Revolution, Nova Caesarea Chapter.
Administrative Note:
In New Jersey, the roll of the county clerk was to keep official county documents such as land records, naturalizations, marriages, and court records. When a civil case was tried in the Inferior Court of Common Pleas, the county clerk recorded the result and issued a formal warrant instructing the sheriff in the legal resolution of the case. Usually the warrant involved collection by the sheriff of debts, damages, and court fees from one of parties involved in the suit.
Robert Ogden (1746-1826) and Aaron Ogden (1756-1839) were born in Elizabethtown (now Elizabeth), New Jersey, and were the sons of Phebe Hatfield (1720-1796) and Robert Ogden (1716-1787).
Robert Ogden was a lawyer and judge in Elizabethtown who served as a quartermaster and commissary during the Revolutionary War. He was appointed by Governor William Franklin to the Surrogate Court seat given up by his father in 1772, and was later the junior clerk for Essex County. He married Sarah Platt (1750-1782), after her death he married Hannah Platt (1756-1812). He was the father of eleven children.
Colonel Aaron Ogden was a Revolutionary War soldier, a lawyer, and politician. He served as the clerk of Essex County; as U. S. Senator, 1801-1803; and as Governor of New Jersey in 1812. He married Elizabeth Chetwood (1776-1826) in 1787 with whom he had seven children.

Hancock School Board to hold second special meeting
Graham Jaehnig
gjaehnig@mininggazette.com
Graham Jaehnig/Daily Mining Gazette The Hancock School Board is moving forward in its search for a new superintendent to replace Kipp Beaudoin, who submitted his resignation earlier this year, when he announced he had accepted a missionary position to teach overseas. Beaudoin's contract expires on June 30 of this year.
HANCOCK — The School Board will conduct a special meeting Tuesday, May 14, from 6-9 p.m. for the purpose of interviewing three candidates for the superintendent position to replace Kipp Beaudoin, who resigned in order to take his experience in education in a new direction overseas.
The three candidates were selected from a list of 10 applicants whose applications were reviewed during a special meeting at Noon last Friday. The three candidates for interview are Steve Patchin, currently director of career services with Michigan Technological University; Chris Salani, Hancock Middle and High School Athletic Director, and Katrina Carlson, supervisor of special education at the Copper Country Intermediate School District. Two additional "maybes" have not been named.
During the reviews at last Friday's meeting, none of the candidates were publicly named, but five were from the local area. One was as far away as Florida, and another from Kentucky. Although Principal Ezekiel Ohan was not among the candidates to be interviewed, he told the Daily Mining Gazette Friday that he would like the school district's households to know that he did submit his application.
The candidates were not named, said Board President Dale Kero, because it was what board decided to do.
"That's usually somewhat standard practice," he said, "and when we posted (the position), we also gave them the option to make it totally confidential, unless they got advanced to the interview process."
A community committee will also be involved in the selection process, Kero said, which consists of five local people who all live in the district. One is a former teacher, one is a former board member, two are in administrative roles with extensive experience in interviewing, and one is in a professional position that represents a "good portion of the community," he said.
The names of none of the committee members were given.

Our tax dollars for 'clean coal' is immoral
Using OUR tax dollars to produce 'clean coal': why it's immoral!
You know I accept the science of global warming, but even if you are a science sceptic, using more taxpayer dollars to support coal companies is morally indefensible. Let me explain why.
The Australian Government subsidize fossil fuel companies to the turn of $12 billion a year[1] (though the IMF says closer to 29 billion).[2] BHP, ExxonMobil Glencore are three of the largest coal and gas mining multinationals in Australia, share in that government subsidy but through various means pay little or no tax on their multi-billion dollar profits.[3] Our coal-fired power stations receive highly subsidized coal, and yet they are now more expensive than wind and solar.
Coal is our worst polluter[4], and coal mining companies have had 15 years to make the 'clean coal' technology viable through their research and development arms. But instead of paying for their pollution we, the taxpayers, are being told that we must give them further financial support.
Then Treasurer Scott Morrison MP in February, 2017. Image from gizmodo.com.au
Be under no mistake all the money in the Emission Reduction Fund comes from our taxes. And now Energy and Emissions Reduction Minister Angus Taylor wants to give our biggest polluters [1] (who pay little or no tax on their multi-billion dollar profits) a further billion dollars to research carbon sequestration.[2]
Over the 15 years of the 'clean coal' propaganda, there are only 13 coal-fired power stations across the world that use sequestration technology; none are profitable; they all require massive subsidies.[3]
Remember: A guiding principle of the coalition is 'user pay' unless you are a coal company, which makes coal companies a sacred cow for the coalition.
Coal companies received billions is pre-tax exemptions and subsidies
They pay little or no tax.
They do give generously to the major parties [4] and exchange favours with elected politicians
And we, the ordinary people, must pay for their pollution.
It is the equity, the fairness, the morality of the situation that makes me very angry. Why are we, the little person asked to do the heavy lifting? Why are we, who can least afford it, paying for their pollution? Why are our taxes being used to subsidize companies who avoid paying their share of tax?
The state and federal governments listened to the medical and scientific experts, and it has helped control the Covid pandemic.
The scientists advised the Bushfire Royal Commission that the primary cause of our recent bush fire catastrophe was climate change. They warn that if we fail to act on climate change, such conditions will occur more often and with greater ferocity in the future.[5]
And science also provides us with alternatives for energy. They are smarter, cheaper, less polluting, use less of our precious water and, dollar-for-dollar, would create many more jobs than coal mining.
Yes, regional communities need jobs. Yet they are not served by the propping up of old, declining industries. More and more investors are walking away from coal and gas because they have lost their social licence.
Minister Taylor, Sky News, The Australia and the Telegraph (Murdoch Press) will tell us it's making jobs, reducing emissions, strengthening the economy, and there's even a spot for renewable energy. Don't be fooled. Follow the money: the people who stand to gain the most from Minister Taylor's plans are fossil fuel companies.

The gas industry have wrongly but successfully convinced Minister Taylor that gas is a 'transition fuel'. Because of fugitive emissions at various stages, and the much higher destructiveness of methane in the atmosphere, in fact it's much more polluting than coal. [6] Exporting Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) is even more carbon intensive because the gas has to be cooled to -162°C. The gas industry has a lot riding on this because Australia is the largest exporter of LNG.
Will you write to your local Member of Parliament about this? It's easy to find their contact details here: https://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/House_of_Representatives
If you want a better future for your kids, don't settle for government spin. Demand that post-Covid stimulus money is invested in industries that create jobs protect the climate and create a fairer, more resilient economy.
If the coal companies want to spend some of their billion-dollar profits on creating clean coal – let them. It's their future which is at stake, not ours.
I note that:
1. Belgium, Sweden and Austria, nations with much colder climates than ours, have now closed all their coal-fired power stations.
2. The Adani coal mine will pay no tax. It will, like most mines, have a high level of automation - employing less than 1500 people.[7] It's also not a mine but a quarry, they scrap of the vegetation and topsoil and dig a big hole, it's like an ulcer on the landscape.
3. The Government-sponsored independent energy review the 'King Review' was chaired by a former fossil fuel business executive.[8] This review wants to redirect billions originally intended for renewables. (I wonder why the energy review wasn't headed up by a scientist!)
4. No major political party is without blame for Australian's lack of real progress on CO2 pollution. Labor's first plan to put a price on carbon was adequate but was voted down by the Greens.
5. The coal companies do pay our states royalties for extracting the coal. Little wonder states of all political persuasion love coal companies. These royalties are slightly more than the billions of dollar subsidies the Federal Government give to coal companies.
6. Quarrying for coal and using some of that coal to produce our electricity contribute about 50% of Australians total CO2 emissions, transport contributes a further 19%.[9] Burning natural gas is 50% cleaner than burning coal and would make a cheaper bridging alternative than very expensive sequestration technology as we move to clean energy.[10]
7. There is nothing Christian about denying the science of global warming – the argument is over ideology, not theology or science.
8. Unlike some world leaders who just make up stories, I have given you the references so that you can 'fact check' the information for yourself.
As an aside: I note that Trump can still write his fantasy stories on Twitter. He's free to write what he likes but it may come with a classification that his twitter is fiction not fact.

Melania Trump says discussion of husband's alleged affairs is 'not always pleasant'
"But I know what is right and what is wrong and what is true or not true," she told ABC News.
Melania Trump speaks out on president's alleged extramarital affairs
Oct. 12, 2018, 11:20 AM UTC / Updated Oct. 13, 2018, 2:51 AM UTC
By Adam Edelman and Alex Johnson
Melania Trump said in an interview that her husband's alleged affairs were not her "concern and focus."
"It is not concern and focus of mine. I'm a mother and a first lady, and I have much more important things to think about and to do. I know people like to speculate and media like to speculate about our marriage," Trump told ABC News in a taped interview that aired Friday night.
"It's not always pleasant, of course. But I know what is right and what is wrong and what is true or not true," she added.
When asked whether she still loved her husband, Mrs. Trump replied: "Yes. We are fine. Yes."
"It's what media speculate, and it's gossip. It's not always correct stuff," she said.
PoliticsOn #MeToo, Melania Trump says she stands with women — and men
President Donald Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct by at least 13 women. He has denied the accusations, often in strong terms on Twitter.
Mrs. Trump acknowledged that the president's Twitter posts on a wide variety of topics are often pugnacious and outrageous.
"I don't agree always with what he posts," she said. "But his action is his action. And I tell him that."
Mrs. Trump also denied ever having spoken with the president's lawyer Rudy Giuliani about her husband's alleged affair with adult film star Stormy Daniels. In June, Giuliani said the first lady "believes her husband and knows it's untrue" —which prompted Mrs. Trump's office to put out a statement at the time saying she never discussed her thoughts with Giuliani.
PoliticsMelania Trump says she might be 'the most bullied person'
Mrs. Trump delivered that message herself to ABC.
"I never talked to Mr. Giuliani," she said. Asked why he issued that statement on her behalf, she said: "I don't know. You need to ask him."
ABC News said neither Mrs. Trump nor the White House imposed any conditions on the interview.
Mrs. Trump, who worked as a high-profile fashion model before she married Trump in 2005, said that on a personal level, life in the White House has been a sometimes-wrenching change.
"Sometimes, it's, you know, losing the privacy," she said. "That's maybe the part that you are always under the microscope. And I cannot freely move anymore."
Moreover, she said, her association with the president's agenda has damaged her charitable efforts.
"It's sad to see that organizations and foundations that I want to partner with choose not to because of the administration," she said. "And I feel they are choosing the politics over helping others."
But Mrs. Trump she said she was enjoying being first lady, nonetheless, stressing, "I don't feel like a prisoner."
"This will not last forever," she said. "And it's a very special time."
And about that jacket she wore on her way to see migrant children in detention facilities at the U.S. border — the one with the statement "I Don't Really Care. Do U?" — the first lady agreed that she was trying to send a message. But it wasn't the message that critics saw, she said.
"It's obvious I didn't wear the jacket for the children," she said. Instead, she said, "it was for the left-wing media and to show them I don't care."
