Interview of the week: Antonio Banderas Nov 07, 2002
José Antonio Domínguez Banderas (born August 10, 1960), better known as Antonio Banderas, is a Spanish film actor, film director, film producer and singer. He began his acting career at age 19 with a series of films by director Pedro Almodóvar and then appeared in high-profile Hollywood films including Assassins, Evita, Interview with the Vampire, Philadelphia, Desperado, The Mask of Zorro, Spy Kids and the Shrek sequels.
Banderas was born in Málaga, Andalucía, Spain, in 1960 to Ana Banderas, a school teacher, and José Domínguez Prieto, a police officer in the Guardia Civil. He has a younger brother, Francisco. Although the family name is Domínguez, he took his mother's surname as his stage name. He initially wanted to become a professional soccer player until a broken foot sidelined his dreams at the age of fourteen. He went on to enroll in some drama classes, eventually joining a theater troupe that toured all over Spain. His work in the theater, and his performances on the streets, eventually landed him a spot with the National Theatre of Spain.
His acting career began at the age of 19, when he worked in small theatres during Spain's post-dictatorial cultural movement known as the 'Movida'. While performing with the theatre, Banderas caught the attention of Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar, who cast the young actor in his 1982 film debut, Labyrinth of Passion. Two years later he went on to appear in the director's Law of Desire, making headlines with his performance as a gay man, which required him to engage in his first male-to-male onscreen kiss. After Banderas appeared in Almodóvar's 1986 Matador, the director cast him in his internationally acclaimed 1988 film, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown. The recognition Banderas gained for his role increased two years later when he starred in Almodóvar's controversial Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! as a mental patient who kidnaps a porn star (Victoria Abril) and keeps her tied up until she returns his love. It was his breakthrough role in Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!, that helped spur him on to Hollywood. Having become a regular feature of Almodóvar's movies all throughout the 1980s, Almodóvar is credited for helping launch Banderas's international career.

Profile: Forging a Climate Leader for RMI's Next Chapter
Press release: RMI Names New CEO to Speed Clean Energy Transition
Jon Creyts is RMI's new CEO, effective November 1. He has devoted his career to the clean energy transition, spending the past decade in critical leadership roles at RMI that advanced its mission in China, in climate technology, and in the formation of new businesses to speed and scale solutions to the climate crisis. We sat down with Creyts to ask him about some of the foremost energy issues of the day, and how he will address them in his new role. His responses were edited for space.
Q: First off, you are taking the helm at RMI when fossil fuels seem to be on the rebound thanks to the war in Ukraine, inflation is raising prices across the globe, and climate change is causing disasters the world over. There are a lot of headwinds that make this a tough job. Why did you want it now?
A: Fossil fuel use is peaking worldwide right now, and we can expect energy markets to be volatile over the next few years – especially as geopolitics and markets come to terms with the imminent decline. We can and must leave fossil fuels in our rearview mirror by 2050. We have clean energy options available today that are more affordable, secure, and resilient than any of their fossil counterparts. Where we don't yet have solutions, we have enormous innovation potential that is rapidly developing new markets and technologies. We can free everyone globally from a dependence on petrostates and cartels, democratize energy access, and create more jobs in our shift to clean energy.
Who will oppose moving to a better world that simultaneously solves energy security, energy access, air pollution, and climate change? Only those who don't understand the facts or can't profit in the transition. RMI's work ensures that all know what's at stake, where the prizes are, and how to participate profitably and equitably in creating our common zero-carbon future. It's an exciting moment to champion these crucial changes in the world.
Q: You know two of your predecessors – Amory Lovins and Jules Kortenhorst – very well. How will you be a different CEO? What has prepared you most for this role?
A: RMI has been blessed with visionary leadership. Amory's insight, technical brilliance, and dogged persistence are beyond compare. Jules brought fearlessness, urgency, and a pragmatic approach to scaling success that truly globalized RMI's reach and impact. My goal will be to combine what I have learned from both leaders and add my own collaborative instinct and brand of creative problem solving to help RMI work alongside our growing group of partners to scale solutions to the planetary crisis.
As a recovering management consultant and a reformed engineer, I understand the techno-economics of the transition and how to mobilize business to rebuild a climate-aligned global economy. My decade at RMI has helped me understand the catalytic role that an entrepreneurial nonprofit can have when we apply ourselves to tough systemic issues alongside governments, businesses, communities, and other NGO partners. Under my leadership, RMI will work to extend its lineage of bold innovation, humble partnership, and applied hope into the next phase of the energy transition.
Q: You began your career in the energy and sustainability space in 2000, when you joined McKinsey & Company, so you've been at this a long time. What called you to this profession? What has personally motivated and inspired you to be in it in various capacities for more than two decades?
A: I feel a strong personal and moral obligation to apply my skills and ensure we leave the planet in a better state than how we found it. Mine is the first generation to understand the full implications of climate change, and the last that can do anything to stop it. What drives me is rising to this challenge. What inspires me is those that do, which is why RMI is so dear to me. RMI has been a source of personal inspiration to me for more than 30 years, and for others even longer. It is a tradition I am eager to sustain.
Q: What accomplishments you are most proud of, that you believe made the biggest shift in the energy transition?
A: I have been lucky to be part of many amazing teams that have done extraordinary things, but several moments stand out. When I was at McKinsey, I led a team focused on mapping greenhouse gas abatement opportunities in the U.S. alongside leading corporations. The map we produced became one of the first iterations of the iconic "McKinsey cost-curve," which was immediately latched on to by policymakers and corporate leaders to help frame transition opportunities and approaches.
When I joined RMI, China was building three coal plants a week and there simply was not a way to solve climate change without China altering course. Together with partners Energy Foundation and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, RMI worked with the most senior energy leaders in China to develop an alternative energy roadmap that would support climate and cut air pollution while stimulating further economic growth. The final analysis and recommendations were embraced wholeheartedly and helped inform not only subsequent international negotiations, but also China's 13th Five Year Plan.
These were both important successes, but I can say without a doubt my proudest accomplishment has been helping set the strategy and assembling the team of over 600 at RMI that are every day achieving jaw-dropping progress on the energy transition. From rolling out resilient, renewable microgrid systems in the Caribbean and Africa to re-engineering climate-aligned global industries alongside leading banks and corporations; from engaging at the highest level with leaders in China, India, the U.S., or Indonesia helping build sweeping and ambitious plans; to working at the community level to retire fossil assets and ensure a just transition. RMI has developed a set of capabilities to speed our collective progress that is unique, impactful, and inclusive.
Q: You founded RMI's China Program in 2012 and helped develop a road map that supported the commitments the country made as part of the Paris Agreement. What are RMI's goals for China now?
A: Our initial work in China focused on how to slow, stop, and reverse the growth of fossil energy use while supporting the continued economic growth of the country. This "decoupling" of growth from carbon was about finding the fastest economic pathway to peak emissions. We continue to support the practical delivery of this objective, including things like how to increase renewables on the grid or expand the amount of carbon-free transportation available for both goods and people. But increasingly, our attention has turned to how China can achieve carbon neutrality even faster than its current 2060 goal. This means getting more critical infrastructure in place sooner and includes innovations like how to rapidly develop a hydrogen economy to support the production of green steel and green cement; how to build integrated zero-carbon districts that combine buildings, transportation, and other infrastructure in elegant and efficient ways; and how to manage rural decarbonization to ensure no one is left behind in the transition.
Q: You pioneered RMI's "market affiliate" strategy, which is about seeding and spinning out new organizations. Why is this such an important part of RMI's strategy and essential to advancing solutions for climate change?
A: One of the great qualities of RMI is the entrepreneurial energy we apply to solving complex climate problems. Sometimes the right way to make headway is to help an ecosystem of companies, policymakers, and/or non-governmental organizations work together differently in the market. Sometimes the best approach is creating an innovative market participant that operates differently, achieving conspicuous success and generating immediate followers. We build solutions that fall into each of these categories, with a host of permutations in between. Successful efforts grow quickly and need space and fit-for-purpose governance to maintain focus and scalability. Where this is the case, we spin out the entity to ensure it continues to grow its impact rapidly.
Examples include our Business Renewables Center (now Clean Energy Buyer's Alliance) to support corporate purchases of renewable energy, Energy Web Foundation to pioneer digital solutions for a decentralized grid, Mission Possible Partnership to decarbonize global hard-to-abate sectors, WattTime to build consumer choice and open-source emissions data into decision making, and Black Bear Energy to help large real estate owners quickly monetize clean energy in their portfolios. In each case, RMI develops a symbiotic relationship with the spin-out, nurturing its growth and development while benefiting from the insights generated from the spin-out's different market vantage. Operating alongside RMI, these entities become a powerful mission-driven collective that amplify impact through ongoing coordination.
Q: RMI is in the midst of evolution of sorts, growing from a small think tank staffed by around 50 to a global, independent nonprofit of over 600 in the last decade. As its new CEO, how do you think the organization will continue to change and adapt to address this crisis?
A: The frontiers of tackling climate change are constantly shifting, and RMI's strength is going where the problems are newest and toughest, working with others to help create a pathway that is easy to follow. We have big challenges to solve. How do we recreate our world's energy infrastructure in three decades? Where do we find the $3-5 trillion per year to do it, and how do we make sure that all countries and communities benefit from this transition? Given our perilous predicament, it is clear all solutions need to be on the table, even as we work to add new ones rapidly.
At the same time, it is also clear that our work must extend beyond mitigation to include adaptation, ensuring that the escalating damage and dislocation – especially among those communities that can least afford it – is addressed head-on, too. Through it all, RMI will continue to build and support solutions that leverage our market-based approaches. With expanding capabilities in policy, technology, finance, data, leadership development, and communications alongside our increasing global reach, we are ready to focus a larger cross-section of the institute on solving the biggest and most complex climate problems, faster than ever before.

Today what I am going to discuss is something which more of a best practice.
It is about things that we need to take care of while creating script.
1. In case of Creating the Insert script always make sure to check if the data to insert is already present in the database or not.
In this case we are first checking for the value we are going to insert. This will ensure that no duplicate entry get inserted by any chance.
This method although not wrong is risky and can result into having duplicate entries in the database, which can be difficult to remove in some case.
2. In Case of create insert script always make sure to have a GO statement just after the END statement.
Resson, rest of the insert statement will not get affect and will execute successfully.
In the above example 2nd insert statement will fail, as we are passing string fom IsActive which is bit field.
Thus 1 and 3rd insert script will run successfully while the seccond one will fail.


An underlying feature of many early American cars is that they were designed to cover long distances over roads which were often not much more than untarred coach tracks so they tended to be robust, reliable and simple to maintain. They are also often quite powerful and they can be easy to drive as clutchless epicyclic gearboxes were very popular in the USA. In addition they tend to have relatively soft springing and wide tracks so you get a good ride - in essence their strengths are driveability and longevity!
This Knox is a very good example of the American approach which combines simplicity with power and some very fine engineering and the more you look at it the more impressed you will be. It has a particularly powerful single cylinder air cooled engine mounted longitudinally under the floor. Unusually the engine does not have cooling fins but has 1750 threaded metal rods screwed into the cylinder which are cooled by an engine driven fan. Harry A. Knox claimed that his patented air cooling was superior to any other system given the large area of heat radiating surface it produced and it also explains why the cars became known as Old Porcupine! Another of his innovations was to connect the ignition advance-retard to the throttle lever giving smoother engine control than if you had to adjust them yourself. The design also incorporated a very heavy engine flywheel which results in a much smoother running than many other single cylinder units and it also has several exhaust silencers so is much quieter than you might expect.
The engine is remarkably easy to start on the handle and given its large flywheel seems very reluctant to stall so getting going is very simple. It also has a lot of torque so you can move from first gear to top fairly soon after you are moving and you can stay in top at much lower speeds than you might otherwise expect so it is very easy to drive - the lever steering takes a little while to get used to but you will soon get the hang of it and reassuringly the brakes are better than you might expect in a car of this age.
The Stanhope body, which can be configured as either a two or a four seater, is in fine condition with a very good coach-painted finish, the seat leather is also in good order as are the Victoria hood and tonneau cover and the brass lights are first class.
By way of history the previous owner (a professional car restorer) acquired the Knox over 34 years ago in a non-running condition. He removed the engine and transmission and found no major problems so rebuilt them including grinding shafts where necessary, making and fitting new bushes, valves, pistons, rings etc and the main clutch plate and gear bands were re lined.
Since then he has rallied it extensively throughout England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands and it has successfully completed the 25 (approx.!) London to Brighton Runs it has taken part in, often carrying four passengers without any problem. The current owner bought the Knox last year and it successfully completed the 2017 London to Brighton Run but his work is now taking him to Norway so he will sadly no longer be able to use the car hence it being back on the market.
So here we have a fine and very rare two/four seat Brighton car which is in really good condition throughout. It comes with an entry for the 2018 Run so you will be all ready to go.


In January 1999, I wrote a column in which I pondered: 'Will Jonathan Jay Pollard rot?' Nothing prescient about the question, to be sure, since everybody was convinced that he would.
At the time, Pollard had served a mere 13 years of his life sentence. And a mere three months before that, in October 1998, the insufferable Benjamin Netanyahu, in his first stint as Israel's Prime Minister, did something that the then American president, Bill Clinton, in a fit of unguarded pique, called "despicable" — Netanyahu, you see, had brazenly resorted to outright blackmail by making Pollard's release from jail a last-minute issue at the Wye River Conference (another one of those American-sponsored peace conferences that you may recall came to naught).
Now freeing Pollard is again on the table, except this time the US is seriously weighing his release, presumably in order to avert the collapse of the current peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians, which are tagged with an April 29 deadline, but which appear to be closer to breakdown than breakthrough.
It was not like that the first time around when the Israeli prime minister sought amnesty for this pompous and humourless fanatic. For the record, I remember Pollard from the early 1980s when he and I lived in the same high-rise on 20th Street, off Dupont Circle, an upscale neighbourhood in the US capital. At the time, American officials, especially those in the intelligence community, were adamant: Come hell or high water, no release, early or otherwise, for a traitor who had compromised his country's secrets.
Who really was Jonathan Jay Pollard, this Dupont Circle geek with thinning hair and fat jowls, who no one among those who knew him in Glaveston, Texas, where he was born in 1954, the youngest of three siblings, would have imagined the turn his life took at age 30. Pollard, who is Jewish, grew up obsessed with the Holocaust, and with, as he put it, the Jews' "racial obligation" to support Israel. When he visited there in 1970, as part of an educational programme sponsored by the Weizman Institute, he promptly got into a brrawl with a fellow student who not only had not evinced sufficient ardour for the Zionist experiment, but dared voice crititcism of Israeli practices in the Occupied Territories. One Weizman scientist remembered Pollard at the time as being "unstable" and as a "trouble-maker of the worst kind". During his undergrad years at Stanford University in the 1970s, he acquired a reputation as a fanatasist, boasting that he worked for Mossad and that he had attained the rank of colonel in the Israeli military. He did not marry till 1985, more than a year after he began spying for Israel. The elaborate wedding in Venice, Italy, was made possible compliments of his Israeli handlers, who had showered him with cash rewards and expensive jewellery.
And that is how it went down. Despicable or not, Netanyahu's demand may have been, president Clinton still promised to "review" the case. Thus, in a letter addressed to senior administration officials, including attorney general Janet Reno, defence secretary Caspar Weinberger, secretary of state Madeleine Albright and director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) George Tenet, he asked for recommendations on whether Pollard should be granted clemency, and for any information that might have a bearing on the case. The response was both prompt and predictable, for not only was Pollard the bete noire of the intelligence community, but of American officialdom in general. The reason for that becomes clear when you consider the damage that this traitor had caused his country.
Over a period of 16 months, between 1984 and 1985, when he was captured by the Federal Bureau of Investigation outside the Israeli Embassy, where he had gone to seek asylum, Pollard, then a US Navy intelligence analyst, had pilfered 1,800 highly classified docuuments — an estimated 800,000 pages — that he handed over to Israel's agents in the US. In addition to that, he handed over to them highly secret information on US code-breaking techniques as well as codes for American diplomatic communications. Armed with that, Israel's intelligence agencies, for example, were able to intercept cables from Samuel W. Lewis, the American ambassador to Israel — in effect, aprising Israeli leaders of all American diplomatic moves in the Middle East — all on a daily basis. Imagine, in other words, the Israeli cabinet being able to read embassy reports addressed to Washington before, say, the American president or the secretary of state, were able to do so.
Pollard also gave his Israeli handlers reports about South Africa, reports that Tel Aviv then promptly passed on to Pretoria, which provided the then apartheid government with the means to identify American agents and their assets there. But more galling — and damaging — for the US was the theft by Pollard of top-secret American intelligence on the Soviet Union, its air defences, SA-5 surface-to-air- missile system, nuclear targeting data and the US intelligence community's annual review of the Soviet Union's strategic arms build-up, which included information dealing with satellite photography, communications intercepts, radar intelligence and agent reports — especially damaging since all these important documents had been passed over to Moscow by Israel. And to what did Moscow owe this generosity? Israeli leaders, particularly Yitzhak Shamir, an ardent proponent of closer ties with the Soviets, had seen this as an opportunity to seduce Russian leaders into relaxing their restrictions on Jewish emigration.
Where Israeli leaders saw an opportunity, American administration officials saw red. Tenet, who had attended the Wye River talks, threatened to resign as CIA director if Pollard was to be released. Weinberger, speaking to a caller who interceded on behalf of the convicted spy, is reported to have hollered into the receiver: "Pollard should've been shot".
And lest we, in our part of the world, forget, Pollard is a murderer who caused the death of at least 39 Arabs and serious injury to well over 60 others. On October 1, 1985, in an operation called Wooden Leg, eight Israeli F-15 fighter jets mounted an assault on Palestine Liberation Organisation headquarters in the Tunis suburb of Hammam Al Shatt. The damage was extensive and the victims were both Palestinian and Tunisian. And here the intelligence supplied to Israel by Pollard on Tunisia's air defence systems and the route best to take to avoid detection by Egyptian and Lybian radars, greatly facilitated the raid.
Why did Pollard choose to betray his country. The answer appears to be simple. During his years at Navy Intelligence, with full access to Field Operations, he came to believe that US intelligence was withholding information from Israel - in his view, a reprehensible act - and offered to hand as much of it as he could to his last Israeli handler in the US, Aviem Stella. Pollard's arrest was to later shock many in the Jewish-American community, who were torn by the fact that, by his actions, one of their own had effectively raised serious doubts about their loyalty as Americans.
Pollard, however, to this day, remains unrepentant and as haughty as he was almost 30 years ago when he was captured by the FBI outside the Israeli embassy in Van Ness, a neighbourhood in northwest Washington, ironically a few blocks from Dupont Circle, where he lived.

Treasurer-elect Colleen Davis issues statement on legal issues, stays mum on exact details
Scott Goss
The News Journal
Delaware Treasurer-elect Colleen Davis addressed the recent suspension of her driver's license in a brief statement on Facebook over the weekend but so far has refused to release any documentation backing up her version of events.
In her post, the 38-year-old Democrat with a history of driving infractions revealed that her license was at least temporarily reinstated sometime after her Nov. 13 arrest for driving on a suspended or revoked license and other traffic-related offenses.
Davis did not share that information on Friday when the News Journal contacted her about her arrest. Since then, she also has declined requests to answer questions or provide documents about the events that led up to and followed her arrest.
"I have paid my fine, and my license has since been reinstated," she wrote on the social media site Saturday – 27 hours after she was confronted about her legal troubles. "I made an honest mistake during a busy time leading up to Election Day. As working parents know, life can get hectic. It should not have happened. I'll do better going forward."
Despite Davis getting her driver's license reinstated, she is at risk of losing it again if she is found guilty of the charges she incurred during the Nov. 13 traffic stop. Her initial court date is slated for Dec. 4 – less than 30 days before she will be sworn into the statewide office she won earlier this month.
Davis has hired Dover lawyer James Liguori to represent her in that case. Liguori, whose past clients have included NASCAR driver Kurt Busch and various police officers accused of wrongdoing, said he has started the process of addressing his client's outstanding legal issues.
Outside of the license reinstatement, the rest of Davis's Facebook post is consistent with what she told The News Journal on Friday.
At that time, Davis said she was contesting a speeding ticket she received previously, but missed the court date due to "working full time and running a campaign."
Based on general court procedures outlined by state officials, Davis also would have likely ignored multiple notices mailed to her Dagsboro home before her license was actually suspended by the Division of Motor Vehicles and a warrant issued for her arrest.
Davis said she only learned that her license was suspended during the Nov. 13 traffic stop south of Georgetown that began when a Delaware State Police trooper clocked her doing 72 in a 55 mph zone.
In addition to the misdemeanor charge, Davis also was cited for speeding, failure to provide proof of insurance, failure to provide proof of registration and displaying a suspended license.
It remains unclear when Davis received the initial speeding ticket that she hoped to contest, why she wanted to fight the ticket, when she missed her hearing, when the warrant was issued for her arrest, how long her license was suspended and exactly when it was reinstated.
State law bars the Division of Motor Vehicles from releasing such information to the media while a request for more information is pending with the Justice of the Peace Courts.
Davis also has declined to answer those questions.
She insisted Friday that she did not drive to any campaign events while her license was suspended. However, a Facebook post by U.S. Sen. Tom Carper's campaign showing the two candidates posing with their vehicles in Wilmington the day before the election has raised some doubt about that assertion.
Davis has a history of repeatedly getting caught driving on a suspended license.
She first pleaded guilty to driving on a suspended license when she was 17, according to court records. She was charged with the same crime when she was 21 and again when she was 23 although she eventually pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of failing to reinstate her license in both instances, court records show.
Driver's licenses can be pulled by the DMV for anything from serious offenses, such as driving under the influence, to mundane issues such as failing to pay court fees or speeding tickets.
Court records do not indicate what caused Davis's license to be suspended in those instances. Davis's camp has so far declined The News Journal's request for documents and other information related to her driving history.
Davis was a political newcomer when she announced her candidacy for state treasurer in late June. Yet the health care consultant managed to knock off incumbent Republican Ken Simpler as part of a wave that saw Democratic women take the last two statewide offices held by Republicans and flip two seats in the General Assembly.
The state treasurer is not automatically provided access to a state vehicle. However, the office holder can request one at any time.
To use a fleet vehicle for official business, state employees are required only to hold a valid driver's license, a status verified with the DMV every other week, according to the Delaware Office of Management and Budget.

Counting your passengers is an important concern. Whether to obtain grants, justify changes to services or simply assess your organization's success, knowing how many persons use your public transit system is a prerequisite.
Directional passenger counting is infodev's speciality. We installed our first directional counting system in a bus in 1995. Since then, we have refined and improved our counting system to a point where it provides counting accuracy above 95% and usually reaches 97-98%!
Many public transit organizations rely on manual checkers, believing they provide plenty of valid data from which to produce reports. However, manual checkers are only human: They make mistakes, they get tired and they can only work on so many vehicles for so many hours.

Proposed Regulations Relating to Type I and Type III Supporting Organizations
Categories: In the News, IRS, Laws & Regulations
by Susan M. Vignola on March 7, 2016
The IRS and the Department of the Treasury have released proposed regulations that address rules relating to Type I and Type III "supporting organizations" under the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and applicable Treasury Regulations (the "Regulations"). The proposed regulations, which add to the already extensive (and somewhat convoluted) regulations issued by the Department of the Treasury since enactment of the Pension Protection Act of 2006, address certain requirements applicable to Type III supporting organizations and provide clarity around the definition of "control" under Code Section 509(f)(2).
Definition of Control
Code Section 509(f)(2) prohibits Type I and Type III organizations from accepting gifts or contributions from certain persons, including those who, either alone or together with family members or entities that they control, directly or indirectly "control" the governing body of its supported organization.
Under the proposed regulations, the governing body of a supported organization is considered controlled by a person if that person, alone or by aggregating his or her votes or positions of authority with certain related persons, may require the governing body of the supported organization to perform, or prevent it from performing, any act that "significantly affects" the operations of the supported organization. This definition clarifies prior uncertainty around whose contributions a Type I or Type III organization could accept (and is consistent with the definition of "control" for purposes of the disqualified person control test in Section 1.509(a)-4(j) of the Regulations, which is applicable to all Types of supporting organizations).
Type III Requirements
In addition, the proposed regulations address certain requirements relating to Type III organizations (for example, notification and responsiveness requirements, the integral part test for functionally integrated Type III organizations, and the distribution requirements applicable to non-functionally integrated Type III organizations).
The IRS and the Department of the Treasury request comments from the public on all aspects of the proposed regulations.
The proposed regulations will be effective on the date the Treasury decision adopting them as either final or temporary regulations is published in the Federal Register, but in the meantime taxpayers may rely on the proposed regulations.
The full text of the proposed regulations is available here.
Stay tuned for updates and developments.

Career Game from Cam Swartz Lifts Boston College Women's Basketball Over Pitt

Share All sharing options for: Career Game from Cam Swartz Lifts Boston College Women's Basketball Over Pitt
Mark Konezny-USA TODAY Sports
After letting Pittsburgh score the first basket, the Eagles jumped out to an early lead in today's first game of the ACC Tournament and didn't let up, earning a 67-56 lead against Pittsburgh behind 33 points from Cam Swartz. The Eagles did struggle a bit late in the first period and went into halftime up by just 2 points, but they didn't let Pitt gain enough momentum to ever take back the lead.
This game was largely won on 3 pointers, foul shots, and turnovers. The Eagles went 10-for-24 from behind the arc, made 19 of 22 free throw attempts, and scored 23 points off of Pitt's 22 turnovers.
Taylor Soule had a quiet game for the Eagles, missing much of the second quarter to avoid getting into foul trouble too early, and scoring only 4 points in the game, although she did add 5 rebounds. If Soule can keep her fouling under control moving forward, the Eagles will be in a much better spot for their next game, particularly when you add in how much of a hot streak Swartz is on and how much Dickens has improved from behind the arc.
The Eagles move forward in the ACC Tournament to face Syracuse tomorrow. BC closed out the regular season with a 92-75 loss against the Orange, so this should be a more challenging matchup for the Eagles.

Comcast's holiday ad is also the 'E.T.' sequel you never knew you needed
Published Nov 28th, 2019 6:44PM EST
Image: Comcast
Giant corporations mining nostalgia to connect with customers has been a common practice for years, as evidenced by Google's Home Alone ad from 2018, but Comcast's holiday advertisement this year might be the most impressive yet. The ad, titled A Holiday Reunion, reunites the titular alien from E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and Henry Thomas, who played Elliott in the 1982 film, nearly 40 years after they went on their first adventure together.
In the ad, which you can watch below, E.T. returns to Earth to find Elliott fully grown with a wife and kids and a home with access to, believe it or not, high-speed Xfinity internet. E.T. also gets a chance to try VR:
Thomas on the commercial: "The audience is going to get everything they want out of a sequel without the messy bits that could destroy the beauty of the original and the special place it has in people's minds and hearts.
According to Deadline, director Steven Spielberg toyed with the idea of a sequel in the past, but he didn't want to risk falling short of the original. Nevertheless, when Comcast's ad agency, Goodby Silverstein & Partners, pitched the ad above, he was a fan of the concept, and consulted during the process of bringing the ad to life.
"People don't care about technology inherently," said Jeff Goodby, co-chairman of GS&P. "They care about the way it connects them to other people. This story is an emotional reunion between two characters we know and love. It's a perfect story for the holidays at a time when our emotions are very close to the surface."
A two-minute cut of the ad aired during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade broadcast on NBC, and will air all across the dial throughout the holiday season. You might even see it in theaters before a movie.

Modern readers might be somewhat amused to learn that this bodice-ripper is regarded as one of the early examples of "realistic" fiction. Is there any plot less true to life than the lord of the manor marrying his serving girl? But Pamela's realism has little to do with the plausibility of the story. It lies, instead, in the novel's scope and language.
So refreshing to read an appreciation of such an undervalued author. What did you make of the translated 'Seven Sixes are Forty Three', 'God's Little Soldier' and 'The Extras'?
I am writing a thesis on Kiran Nagarkar's use of humour and realising the innate skill he has in this area.
I read "Cuckold" 9 years ago. I never bought the book though. I was living in Chennai at that time. I used to frequent Oxford book store in Nungambakkam and was browsing the books one afternoon there. Got hold of Cuckold and started reading and then could not stop reading. So the next few weekends were spent in the Oxford store( sometimes with tea and pakodas which cost me more than if I bought the Novel:)). And yes it was exhilarating reading all the way.


A life in complete silence. Have you ever wondered what that would be like? According to the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, almost 135,000 Ukrainian people are hearing-impaired. The majority of them use sign language in their daily life. And even though some deaf have learned how to read and write to a certain degree, the written language is still foreign to them and hard to understand, because in reality, their native tongue is sign language. If someone was put in a soundproof room with transparent walls and was asked to learn a foreign language by watching how people moved their lips, it would be an impossible task. This illustrates why deaf people, who live among us, feel like foreigners and are not able to understand a written text.
"It's hard to believe that in Ukraine deaf people were not able to read and understand the Bible only because it was not translated into their language. For the first time in history a sign language translation of the New Testament, that the deaf in Ukraine and many neighboring countries can easily understand, was released," - says Ivan Riher, a representative of the Ukraine Center of Jehovah's Witnesses." For this purpose a sign language translation office was set up. Videos in sign language that are produced in this office are viewed not only in Ukraine, but also in 9 other countries in Europe and Asia. The goal of the translators is to help the deaf satisfy their spiritual needs. The translation team considers that out of the over 150 Bible videos produced in sign language, the most important accomplishment has been the translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures (the New Testament) and the Book of Genesis.
In total, over 20 persons have been involved in the Bible translation project in a professional video recording studio. Besides the translator, there is a checker and a proofreader in each team. The proofreaders are usually deaf. Their task is to watch the visual signing, and also to make sure that the translation is clear and understandable for a hearing-impaired person. The role of the checker is also important. He makes sure that the translator conveys the original text as accurately as possible, without omitting or altering any thoughts.
Before the translation was started, a thorough search was conducted of some the words used in the Bible. After some careful discussion the team recorded a draft video. Next, deaf proofreaders, who had not participated in the translation, were invited to make an additional evaluation. When needed, corrections were made to ensure that the translation was clear and natural.
Only then the final version was recorded. The recording takes a lot of time, so it was important to make sure that the signer's physical appearance remained the same during the whole recording period. The signers' objective was to convey the Bible text accurately and in an animated manner. Thanks to the signers' acting abilities even a person, not familiar with sign language, will be able to understand some Bible passages.
"Historically, the deaf, who live in former Soviet Union countries, use the same sign language. On one hand, it makes the process easier, but on the other hand, makes it more complicated", the participants of the project explained. "So that all deaf people from the post-Soviet countries were able to watch the Bible in their native tongue, we chose the most widely used signs that the majority would understand. We also used other means of sign language: mimicry, elements of pantomime, descriptive signs, etc." In the translation process we involved those who know sign language the best: deaf people, children who were raised by deaf parents and had learned this language from infancy, and also sign language interpreters from different countries.
Thanks to this approach, the language became lively, and the translation — understandable. As the translators themselves point out, in their translating the Bible, they have never tried to explain it. Their goal has always been only to render the contents of the original text into sign language that is clear and easily understood.
Where and how the New Testament and the book of Genesis in sign language can be viewed?
This translation is available online on jw.org/rsl site or can be downloaded free of charge on a phone or a tablet by using the mobile application, JW Library Sign Language. This application was developed especially for easy viewing of the Bible and Bible publications in sign language, even offline.
In the "Bible" section the Christian Greek Scriptures (the New Testament) can be found, as well as the book of Genesis and those passages from the Hebrew Scriptures (the Old Testament) that have already been translated. A user-friendly interface allows one to quickly find the needed Bible book, chapter, and verse. And, thanks to a built-in player, one can switch between different verses of the same chapter and change the playing speed. Also, separate playlists can be created so as to always have your favorite Bible verses at hand.
What do the deaf say?

So, how do you look your best on the school run? Is it even possible? School's back this week in our part of the world. As they say, to fail to plan is to plan to fail. And we planned well so day one went very smoothly. Dramas were absent; last minute nerves were not on the roll-call.
And so, sitting there in my car in the school carpark, five minutes after having dropped Cole off this morning, polishing my halo, I sat momentarily thinking: that all went swimmingly well. And as I gazed out the car window admiring my precision planning, that startled and sinking feeling was immediately upon me as I thought: when exactly is swimming? Have we purchased the correct gear? The cap? The towel? Thankfully today on day one, yes I had. But cruel reality is such that it certainly does not always proceed like clockwork.
You know exactly what I mean. Those days when the alarm goes off and you snooze. Seems like a good idea at the time. Schoolgirl error. You wake up five minutes before departure time to have to instantly fly out of bed in a state of panic; scoop your child out of his bed and rush out the door disheveled and wholly unprepared. And there you are, stumbling out the door with enough bags and backpacks for a gap year in Oz. In no time you are in the family car which you could, if necessary, live out of for about 2 weeks for the amount of food and other supplies which keep reappearing no matter how many times you clean the car out.
Mercifully you get there. Just in time, if the lights are in your favor and if you don't run out of petrol. Maybe not on the first day, but we all have our days like this don't we?
So while you sit there with a glass of something to help you relax after navigating the perils of the first day of the school year, here are some pointers of how you can look your best. 5 products and 3 minutes, that's all you need.
But first an anecdote. A good friend of mine once described me as a swan. Her summation was that I look like I am floating on the water; all elegant and poised. In fact, underneath, she said, I was kicking my legs frantically to keep afloat. I have always liked that comparison and so here's how to look like the swan at the school gate. Like you've been getting ready in a leisurely fashion for over half an hour and managed to leave the tranquility of your home early, still managing to look immac.
20 seconds left to brush your hair and put it in a quick bun.
Top tip: if you have time for nothing else always make time for some lipstick/ gloss. It instantly says, I care about my look. And it's a quick win. You can even do it in the car (not advice or a recommendation).

] as fragmentary remains of a non-pygostylian coelurosaur (likely within the basal part of Coelurosauria). We here would like to respond to these concerns.
To be clear, our assessment of DIP-V-15103 as a non-avialan theropod is not based solely on osteological evidence, but rather on a combination of osteological and integumentary evidence; nor is the presence of pronounced ventral grooves the only discernible osteological character. The basic forms of the vertebrae, as revealed by CT scanning, make a substantial contribution to the phylogenetic placement. As described in our original publication: "The vertebrae are elongate, with anteroposterior lengths double the maximum diameter of the tail" and "the vertebrae lack prominent neural arches, transverse processes, or haemal arches." Such a morphology is inconsistent with caudal vertebrae from the anterior segment of all avian and non-avian theropod tails, where the centra are subequal in height, length and width and where the neural spines and transverse processes are prominent. Thus, we concluded that "the preserved segment is only a small mid to distal portion" of the tail. The evolution of tails within the avialans (the clade that contains long-tailed birds and their modern relatives) is characterised by reduction in the total numbers of caudal vertebrae, which results in short caudal series comprised only of subequal centra with prominent projections. Unlike DIP-V-15103, pygostylian (short) bird tails possess only caudal vertebrae with subequal centra and terminal pygostyles. The presence of pronounced ventral grooves on the centra of DIP-V-15103 is another, more specific trait that supports this diagnosis.
Still, based on osteology alone, the possibility that DIP-V-15103 is a non-pygostylian avialan (i.e., a long-tailed bird, such as Archaeopteryx and Jeholornis) remains. Both Archaeopteryx and Jeholornis possess suitably long posterior series of elongate and projection-less centra to have contributed the segment preserved in DIP-V-15103. However, Archaeopteryx and Jeholornis are also known to possess terminal fronds of complex feathers, while DIP-V-15103 possesses an entirely different feather form and different plumage arrangement. On this basis, we also disagree with the assessment that it "cannot be reliably hypothesized whether the species was volant" [
]. The feather fronds of long-tailed birds and those of some small troodontids and dromaeosaurids (dinosaurs closely related to avialans) have generally been interpreted as structures utilized in flight or in gliding, and we would argue that the absence of such a structure in DIP-V-15103 indicates it was less well-adapted for flight than a true avialan or such eumaniraptorans.
It is possible that DIP-V-15103 represents a non-pygostylian avialan that, because it was a juvenile, possessed (for whatever ontogenetic reasons) a hitherto unknown type of plumage arranged in multiple lateral tracks, which would later be replaced by a frond of more complex pennaceous feathers. However, we regard invoking such drastic and unevidenced developmental changes to explain the observed features of DIP-V-15103 to be a far less parsimonious explanation. As was originally stated, there is some room for uncertainty whether the specimen bears feathers that are characteristic of the adult plumage. The basal pennaraptoran Similicaudipteryx is thought to perhaps have two adult-like plumages (closed-vane, pennaceous feathers with variations in the rachis) [

Nature. 2010; 468https://doi.org/10.1038/nature09480
], and basal members of Pygostylia are known to have juveniles with precocial plumage, which are both sources of uncertainty. There is a great deal of variation known within extinct coelurosaur plumage. However, there is also no evidence among any of the extant or extinct coelurosaurs suggesting that, once pennaceous barbules yielding an open-vaned feather (with loose barbs) have been produced, subsequent feather generations might form a closed-vane (aerodynamically functional) flight feather from the same follicle.
Regardless of whether DIP-V-15103 hatched with precocial plumage, or has already undergone a moult to produce adult-like feathers, the evidence that is currently available does not suggest that the individual would have undergone a major structural reorganization to include barbules with hooklets later in life. Moreover, even if such an ontogenetic sequence of events did occur and DIP-V-15103 does represent an early avialan, it is not "absolutely critical" to our arguments regarding feather evolution that the plumage of DIP-V-15103 corresponds to the final pennaceous feathers of an adult. After all, ontogeny does often (although not always) recapitulate phylogeny, and neoteny is a well-documented and common evolutionary phenomenon. Ultimately, we will not be able to address all the developmental questions that DIP-V-15103 raises until a larger sample set becomes available. Until we are better able to pair fossils of juveniles with adults and have a more extensive understanding of plumage in both life stages, modern birds and their development will strongly shape our expectations for the data missing from the fossil record. Hopefully the amber fossil record holds additional discoveries that will help to shed some more light on evolutionary-developmental pathways, as well as some of the more peculiar developments found among stem group lineages. DIP-V-15103 provides us with a first glimpse of exceptionally preserved plumage set in a firm phylogenetic context, but the full extent of its implications remains to be determined.

London, UK – The Burma Human Rights Network welcomes Council of the European Union conclusions on Myanmar that adopted on 10th December, especially their decision to adopt additional sanctions against senior military and border guard officials complicit in what the U.N. has now found likely constituted an act of genocide against the Rohingya people. With atrocities continuing against the Rohingya and other Burmese minorities, these sanctions are an important step, but more clearly needs to be done – this includes the EU extending its sanctions to Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, named by the recent Fact-Finding Mission.
The Council's decision to also explore sanctions against entities, particularly the companies and cronies linked to the military leadership is a potential game changer in the punitive approach taken by the international community. For decades the Burmese leadership have been able to duck and weave individual sanctions, but we now have an increasingly clearer picture on the entities they use to do this and we must go after them too. Ultimately, it is crucial targeted sanctions remain the bedrock of the EU's approach.
The EU's leadership, including its joint efforts with the OIC in the UN's Human Rights Council and in the General Assembly's Third Committee, has been key. But now is the time for the EU to step up these efforts, including through helping ensure the newly mandated "independent mechanism" which will investigate and prepare trial ready cases is able to be fully funded to get to work. This week's Fifth Committee negotiations in the General Assembly are crucial in this regard and the EU, OIC and others must stand strong in the face of any attempt to gut the mechanism of its proposed funding.

Startups often operate with a much looser culture than mid-sized small businesses or big corporations. They wear shorts and baseball caps to work, sit on beanbag chairs and give people cool titles.
One part of traditional business they can't ignore, however, is the boring act of running payroll.
While it's not the most exciting aspect of a new venture, it's an important one. Paying your employees accurately and on time is how you retain their talents. So what should a young, growing startup look for in a payroll service?
The answer is one that doesn't slow them down. For a small company looking to move swiftly, having to write checks or deal with updating a software program, are not the best options.
Startups should consider an online payroll service that is so easy to use it's more of an afterthought than a chore. It should take minutes, not hours, and it should generally simplify the process, which can be quite complicated.
•	Easy to use – You shouldn't have to know much about payroll to run payroll and have the payroll taxes taken care of for you. •	Mobile – Much of your business may already be taking place on smartphones and tablets, payroll should be no different. •	Cloud-based – Everything from actually running the payroll to pulling up reports and paystubs should be readily accessible online. No digging around for documents.
The sooner the payroll is done, the sooner a burgeoning startup can work on the next great idea.

I was in the new studio late last night with my first portrait photo shoot client, Sam, from Bristol. He was actually a semi-pro footballer! Here's a teaser photo of him coming out fighting! I can't wait to share the rest of the photographs here in a few days time. My new photographic studio is now open in Radstock between Bristol and Bath!

The Richardson Family Trio
By: Joseph Payton, Kellen Becoats
When attending a game in Albany, there is one name above others that is considered royalty among the locals: Richardson.
Three Richardsons currently grace the halls of Alexander High School — Seth, Leah and Rachel, in order of age — and each of them also has one other thing in common. They love to play basketball.
There wasn't always a time that the family was focused on basketball though.
"I would have never dreamed that we would get involved in sports, because I was more focused on character development," Becky Richardson, their mother, said. "The church we were going to had an Upward basketball program and they were just little and said they wanted to play and they loved it. So here we are."
Church and basketball have been the driving forces in the Richardsons' life for quite some time. Using both as motivation, each Richardson has carved out a special place on the court.
Seth Richardson, who is a senior, was voted to the Hardwood Heroes Boys' All-Hero for being one of the Spartans core players and having one of the nicest shots in the TVC. He is also a defensive nuisance, using his length and athleticism to force turnovers and bad shots from his opponents.
Leah and Rachel Richardson, who were voted to the Girls' All-Hero and All-Future team, respectively, live on the offensive end of the court. Both possess a shot that Seth Richardson surely insists he taught them. Leah Richardson's loves pull-up jumpers, and her ability to score at will is what led her to break the 1,000 point mark in her junior season season while also holding the all-time scoring record for Alexander.
There are whispers around Albany that Rachel Richardson has the ability to be better than her sister — don't let Leah that — and so far, she's doing everything she can in her freshman season to overshadow her sister. You only need to look at Rachel Richardson's game against Wellston in early February, in which she broke the school record for most 3-pointers in a game with nine, to gain faith in the youngest Richardson. Her youth doesn't belie the fact that she is an incredibly interesting prospect that coach Cory McKnight is excited to have.
When it comes to how all three feel about their time on the court, the word competitive is a bit of an understatement.
Asking each one who the better player is drudges up arguments about each other's game, deficiencies that could surely be exploited and a downplaying of one another's accomplishments.
"It gets pretty competitive," Seth Richardson said. "The arguments whether it's basketball or non-basketball related stuff. (We're) always trying to one-up the other."
Rachel Richardson is the easy target for her older siblings, but she has plenty of ammunition against her siblings. Leah Richardson may be receiving many of the accolades now, but Rachel Richardson feels that she can still hold her own in one-on-one.
Good-natured arguing ensues in their house as the three argue about who could beat who, which represents the competitive nature that runs through each of their blood. The sisters poke fun at their brother "struggling" to reach 1,000 points until his senior year, but a sense of admiration is palpable under the surface of the argument.
Each Richardson respects what their sibling is able to bring to the court. With that respect comes pressure on the shoulders of the youngest Richardson to continue the tradition that her older siblings have bestowed upon her.
"There's a little bit of pressure just because (Leah) is breaking all these records and I want to break records too and it just makes it harder for me," Rachel Richardson said. "But I'm happy for her and glad that she's breaking records."
And that is evident on the court when the two play together. The sibling rivalry takes a backseat for those 32 minutes, as the two feed each other for open looks and celebrate when the other makes a good play.
Leah Richardson also acknowledges that her being a role model for her younger sister is important for her development. But with postseason play on the line and a chance to stake their family name in the history of the school, each Richardson is doing their best to make their mark.
For each Richardson, basketball is important, but their love for each other and love for the game is paramount to anything else.
"I always encouraged them to do what they love, love what they do and whatever they do, do it with all they've got and do it for the glory of God," Becky Richardson said. "That's what they've done and I think that's why they've been successful."
With Seth Richardson graduating after this year, Alexander will only have two Richardsons to cheer on next year, but the siblings will live on in school memory long after each of them has left Albany.

My Silly West Wing Dreams
'I'll have a shark sandwich. You like shark? Never had it! You're in for a treat.' I thought.
I wasn't so much paraphrasing Jeff Bridges in the contender as I was riffing on my memory of him. I mean, shark sandwich. Come. On.
Not that I have a taste for killer beasts of the sea. Not much for seafood, actually. But what a cold and cool way to announce your power as President. Invite your opponent to come to the east wing and order someone near you to get you some shark. Damn.
No one ever imagines life in the governors mansion. Not from here. Not sitting in council chambers suggesting yourself as next town council rep. Why would you place such limitations on yourself. Nope, I could already imagine it. Life in the White House. Hell yeah.
I had written a statement to read that had gotten a very positive response from the organizer of our event. She was enthusiastic beyond words. Her email calmed me down before stoking my Walter Mitty like daydreams of shark sandwiches and front yard Easter egg hunts.
You have to understand. A writers work has an emotional ebb and flow. Allow me to illustrate using art. 'Talledaga Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby'.
At the beginning of the movie Ricky is running hot. Winning everything, on a roll, full of confidence and unable to imagine it ever stopping. In an interview he makes a statement that is EXACTLY what it feels like when you are writing and it's flowing. He said…
'Look. Here's the deal, I'm the best there is, plain and simple, I mean
I wake up in the morning and I piss excellence.'
Okay, it's crass. But you know what, I don't care. That is how it feels when it's working.
There's another scene in the same movie. This is later on. Our main character, the beloved Ricky Bobby is in the middle of his comeuppance. He has failed and failed and failed and he finds himself imagining a himself being engulfed by a fire ball and he has stripped naked and is running wildly on the abandoned track in tighty whitey's and a helmet screaming in a panic…
'Help! Fire! Oh god help me. Help me Oprah Winfrey, help me Tom Cruise!'
This quote (paraphrased from memory) typifies exactly what it feels like as you push 'publish' on the writing you were so recently so confident of while producing it. It's a pretty extreme variation between unflinching confidence and bed wetting fear, to be sure. Especially considering these emotional states exist without any transitional states between them. Typically, at least.
So when the organizer replied to my email, sent with all the confidence of a church farther hoping to god it be both silent and odorless, with the opening of WOW! Well, I was right back to my writerly confidence. She wrote a bunch more, but to be fair 'you had me at wow' is a statement I feel fairly confident making for all writers.
I arrived to the council chambers with humility in my heart, not that you'd see it on a topographical map as it was a tiny sparrow sitting behind a mountain of confidence. Warmly greeted upon introducing myself I was so very excited to be around similarly minded resisters. A moment of sincerity here, it was truly heartening to see all these folks, neighbors and friends I'd yet to meet who felt the same as me. We have a town council that by what I can gather has been 100% republican for decades, without so much as opponents to run against them.
So newly friendly with my neighbors who'd come out of the shadows I took my seat and the evening began. We pledged allegiance. Off we go. I had no idea there would be so many folks here. This was a real meeting, not just a town gathering. County officials from the party there, candidates for state office. It was a real thing happening. The pros got up. The first stood behind the table at the front of the room. Party guy told her to come around front, but I knew what she was doing. There was no podium. It had caused me a moments panic, but I had my WOW in my back pocket, already committed to paper, why should I worry.
I'll tell you why. Because when she came around front of the table it snuck into my mind, around the mountain of confidence. The tiny sparrow was on my side of the mountain now. I've only once read my own work to a crowd from a stage. I barely got through without sobbing. To be fair that one was about my son, it was a tender piece about the fears of a father. This wasn't that. It was a political speech. Still, I learned through the many times I've spoken to groups at work that holding my paper was a bad idea. The hands would start to shake.This would trigger the completely illogical loss of breath control. Then, yep, the water works. But this was a friendly crowd. Why should I worry.
Her reason for running was profound, heartbreaking, personal and touching. I was definitely in the right place, with the right people. Okay, I can do this.
Next candidate got up and announced that she was working on her speech. She would be reading from cards. CARDS! Why the hell didn't I think of this. It would give me a natural way of looking up and realizing I'm not naked, these people are with me. And when the hell did this sparrow get so goddam big! WHERE THE HELL IS MY MOUNTAIN OF CONFIDENCE! And I was totally wrong about the sparrow being humility. The sparrow was humiliation!
At least I was still confident in the support of the audience. It would appear my rabble rousing, 'conscience of the liberal left' speech would meet the tenor of the room. We were all here to organize resistance. What the hell am I so afraid of. Get out of here, negative self talk. I don't need you!
'Okay, I know it's been a long night, but we have some people that have offered to run for Town Council and they will all address you this evening.'
HOLY CRAP. HOLY CRAP. DEAR GOD, I KNOW I'M ATHEIST BUT PLEASE BECOME REAL AND TRANSPORT ME YODA LIKE TO SOMEWHERE, ANYWHERE ELSE… Maybe I won't be fir…
'First I'd like to bring up Joe Medler.'
Shit. That's not a sparrow. Is that an eagle? Why does he seem so angry and threatening. Shit. That's a vulture, dude. Oh no, when I start calling myself dude in my brain something is way off. Crap. Don't trip. Wait, why would I think that. I'm a grown man in fine health, I won't trip. But god it would be the worst time to trip. I'M NOT GOING TO TRIP.
Breathe. This is easy.
'Hello everyone.' I said.
This isn't so bad.
'I'm not a politician. I filled out a survey, literally last night, and said yes, I'd be willing to be a candidate for town council. Then Tracey, wrote to say I should prepare a statement on why I was running. So I did. Thank you for being here and here goes.'
That was fine. What was I so worried about. All I gotta do now is read.
I pick up my paper, chin nailed to my chest, head down and we're off.. that's a strange tremble in my hand. Maybe two hands will be better. Wait. That's supposed to stabilize not double the shaking. Where was I. Oh my god, why did I write suvch a personal piece. I really am kind of naked up here. Where are you mountain, don't disappear.
NONONONONONONONO! It was just a simple crack of the voice nothing to worr.. shit, again. Is that water in my eyes. Fuck. I'm doing it again. Hands up, Im done.
'And I think that's a good place to stop.' I said, and started to make my way back to my seat to see if I can fit under it. Forget the shark sandwiches, forget the glory of being a vessel for equality and democracy, forget the more humble aspirations of serving the town and being a politician.
'Okay, Joe, do you mind if I read the rest. It's really powerful and think it's worth everyone hearing.' said, Tracey.
'My goodness, I can't thank you enough. My god, yes, please, save me and this moment from the disaster it feels like!' I thought. It came out more like a barely audible, 'Yes. Thanks.'
She proceded to complete my story. I have to say whether they were just taking pity or genuinely appreciative of the writing, I don't really care. Everyone was so generous with their kindness. Handshakes and thank yous and people sought me out to tell me they enjoyed it. I was in the right place after all.
But perhaps it is time to go back to the drawing board in terms of figuring out how exactly I can best serve the goals of our group. After all, there is very little need for a crying call to arms. Might play into the worst stereotypes of liberals, actually. I'll stay a bleeding heart, but perhaps i should retire the crying eyes;)
