Enter the cold world of a lonely man
Krapp's Last Tape
Samuel Beckett, Robert Wilson
You are looking at a performance from our archive
Krapp celebrates his 69th birthday as is his ritual every year: recording his memories of the past year, and reviewing his earlier recordings. As rain and storm rage outside, he listens to his former self with mockery, contempt, anger and remorse. After the triumph of his The Life and Death of Marina Abramović in 2012, Robert Wilson is back at the Holland Festival, as a director ánd actor this time, performing Beckett's famous one-act play about loneliness and disillusionment. Wilson has transformed Beckett's monologue into a determinedly unsentimental staging in black and white, playing Krapp performing a few old comic routines.

It's been a long time since Robert Wilson last took to the stage himself. His last solo performance was in his self-directed Hamlet: a monologue, which featured at the Holland Festival in 1997 and which he last performed in 2000. In Samuel Beckett's Krapp's Last Tape, he plays a man in conversation with a younger version of himself.
Wilson directed, created the stage design and lights as well as taking the part of the older man in this production. All the trademarks of his theatre are featured: his eye for detail, the synchronicity of movement, light and sound, and the spontaneity of his acting which make his live performances so exciting to watch. At the same time, his performance of Krapp is vintage Beckett - the author's minimalist style, never writing a word too many, seems tailor-made for Wilson. The simplicity of the story, direction and stage design emphasise the tragedy of a man looking back on his own life – a life in which he has always looked back on his life – having to face the fact that it never amounted to anything he'd hoped it would, and that it never will. Along with the tragedy, the absurdity of the text and Wilson's caricatural acting style lend his staging an ironic, comical quality.
In his 'director's note, Wilson writes that from a young age he felt a great affinity with Beckett's work, but that for a long time in many ways it was too close to him. Only now, 35 years after his first production Deafman Glance, he's found the courage to take on the challenge. Instead of the structure he normally creates for his own plays, he's allowed himself to be led by what Beckett offers: 'I must find my freedom within Beckett's structure.'
Wilsons face has been painted white, as happens in many of his stagings. The stage design is composed of a large, black-and-white space with rows of white lit shelving, suggesting an audio library. Everything is sharply defined in black-and-white, relieved only by Krapp's red socks and the banana he swallows in ritualised movements. His almost clownish flirt with vaudeville emphasises the farcical nature of the situation Beckett created. Wilson's portrayal of the old Krapp, the way he mocks his younger self while listening to his tape recordings, has been hailed by the critics as showing a great understanding of the essence of the play, evoking the tragedy of human failure it expresses – with the Guardian writing that the production was 'more unsettling' than any previous Krapp.
Samuel Beckett wrote Krapp's Last Tape as a monologue for Northern Irish actor Patrick Magee, who first performed it as a curtain raiser to Beckett's play Endgame at the Royal Court Theatre in London in 1958. Over the years, during his own directions of the play, Beckett refined the text, making numerous significant changes. He also translated it into French, as La Derniere Bande. Krapp's Last Tape has been performed by various great actors, including the Canadian Donald Davis (1960, Obie Award), playwright Harold Pinter (2006) and in the Netherlands by Lou Landré at the Haagse Comedie (1985). The piece has been performed twice before at the Holland Festival, in 1960 with the Irish actor Cyril Cusack under direction of Howard Sackler and in 1968 with the American Michael Pataki directed by Phil Flad.
The story is set on 'a late evening in the future'. Krapp, a not very successful writer, celebrates his 69th birthday. He hauls out a tape recorder on which he makes a new recording every year on his birthday, reviewing the past twelve months. He's sitting in his den, lit by the white light above his desk, surrounded by old tapes. Looking for a tape to review, he decides to start off with the tape he recorded when he turned 39, thirty years ago. His taped voice sounds strong and rather self-important. He talks about his bowel trouble, which is still bothering him; about the recent passing away of his mother that year; and about a passionate love affair which ended that year. Still, he's adamant the break-up was inevitable. The voice also reports having just listened back to his younger self, from when he was in his late twenties, a recording which he dismisses with derisory laughter for the idealistic, unrealistic expectations he entertained. He's changed much since then, the voice reports, and the coming years will make up for everything that went wrong before. But in turn, the 69-year old Krapp cannot but look back on his younger, 39-year old self with irritation and dismay. It seems to be his fate to always denounce his younger self. The 69-year old Krapp regards the 39-year old Krapp with the same level of contempt as the 39-year old appears to have displayed for himself in his late twenties and as his late twenties self had for the young man he saw himself for in his late teens. However, the big difference is that now, as a 69-year old, he cannot keep up the pretence that everything will change for the good. He realises that the love he lost when he was 39, was the love of his life, and that he should never have let her go. The bravado and determination which drove him in his younger years has now completely left him. He doesn't even finish this year's – his last? – recording.

Robert Wilson (b. Waco, Texas, 1941) is one of the greatest and most important avant-garde stage directors of his generation. Combining text, movement, dance, lighting, music and art in his work for the theatre, he is lauded the world over for his aesthetic and emotionally charged images. As well as directing, he also works in the visual arts and in video. Many consider him to be the greatest lighting artist of our modern times. Wilson studied business administration at the University of Texas, then moved to New York in 1963 to study architecture and painting. In 1968 he founded his first experimental theatre company, the Byrd Hoffman School of Byrds, creating his first distinctive 'Wilson' performances, including Deafman Glance (1970). In the early 1970's he stretched out into opera. In 1975 he and composer Philip Glass created Einstein on the Beach, a radically new approach to opera, bringing both men instant fame as serious artists. Since then, Wilson has worked with many great writers and musicians, including Heiner Müller, Tom Waits, Susan Sontag, Laurie Anderson, William Burroughs, Lou Reed and Jessye Norman. He has staged masterpieces such as Puccini's Madame Butterfly, Debussy's Pelléas et Melisande, Brecht and Weill's The Threepenny Opera, Büchner's Woyzeck and Homer's Odyssey.
His theatrical works are noted for their austere style, sublime lighting, slow moving scenes and great accuracy in text and gesture as well as often extreme scale. The Life and Times of Joseph Stalin (1973) was a 12-hour performance; KA MOUNTain and GUARDenia Terrace (1972) was staged on a mountaintop in Iran and lasted seven days. The surrealist artist Louis Aragon praised Wilson's work as: 'What we, from whom Surrealism was born, dreamed would come after us and go beyond us'. Wilson's drawings, paintings and sculptures have been exhibited in hundreds of solo and group shows all around the world. He is a recipient of many awards, including an Obie, the Premio Europa and the third Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize for Lifetime Achievement. For his sculptures he received the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale. He was made a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and knighted in the French order of 'Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres'. Robert Wilson is the founder of The Watermill Center, an interdisciplinary laboratory for the arts and humanities on Long Island, in the state of New York.
Since his first visit to the Holland Festival in 1980 (with his production Dialog Curious George, which he created in collaboration with Christopher Knowles) Wilson frequently returned to the festival. In 2005, he created 2 lips and dancers and space, with Nederlands Dans Theater III, and in 2012 the festival presented his piece The Life and Death of Marina Abramović, starring Marina Abramović, Willem Dafoe and Antony (of Antony and the Johnsons). Before that, in 1989, Wilson collaborated with the Dutch composer Louis Andriessen on his opera De Materie, which was premiered at the Holland Festival. In 1997, Wilson directed Marguerite Duras' La maladie de la mort at the festival, starring Lucinda Childs and Michel Piccoli. At that same festival, he also played his solo performance Hamlet: a monologue, the last piece he performed in until Krapp's Last Tape.
Samuel Beckett (1906-1989), who was born in Ireland but lived and worked in France for the greater part of his life, is regarded as one of the most famous authors of the Theatre of the Absurd. With Eugène Ionesco he's seen as the best French playwright of the 20th century. In the 1920's, Beckett studied French, Italian and English at Dublin's Trinity College. After his studies, he went to work as a teacher in Paris, where he was introduced to his compatriot the renowned writer James Joyce. Beckett became Joyce's secretary and started to write his own stories, his style strongly influenced by his master's at first. In 1929, his first short story Assumption was published. In 1930, he returned to Ireland briefly to teach at Trinity College, but he didn't like the conservative climate in Ireland, and after a spell of living in London and travelling in Europe, he finally settled in Paris in 1937. There, he published a study of Marcel Proust's works, some short stories and his first novel Murphy.
After joining the resistance during the second World War, he fled from Paris to the unoccupied south of France to remain there until the end of the war. There, whilst working as a farmhand, he continued to assist the Resistance. After the war he was awarded the French Croix de guerre for his efforts fighting the German occupation as a member of the Gloria espionage network. He wrote about his war experiences in his novel Watt (1943). After the war, he started to write plays as well, which brought him his fame. His most loved plays from this period includeWaiting for Godot (1952), Endgame (1958), Krapp's Last Tape (1958) and Happy Days (1961).
From the 1950's onwards Beckett started to develop his own signature minimalist style of writing, doing away with any embellishment and adopting a very economical use of words. Part of the reason for developing this minimalist style was that he was writing in French, which compelled him to be very accurate as it was not his mother tongue. He would translate his own work into English himself. Much of his work is about the impossibility of capturing reality in language and about the inability of man to give meaning to their existence. The dry manner in which he confronted his audience with the absurdities and trivialities of the human condition makes his work not only tragic but also humorous. Becket was always closely involved with the staging of his own work, sometimes as an advisor, often as a director. In 1969, he won the Nobel Prize for Literature. He died in 1989 in Paris, where he was buried at Montparnasse Cemetery.
In 2008 the Holland Festival opened with a staging of Beckett's Happy Days, about a woman who is buried in sand up to her waist, played by the Irish actress Fiona Shaw and directed by Deborah Warner. In 1982, the festival programmed a music theatre version of Happy Days, entitled Winnie, Dello Sguardo, directed by Italian Pierr'Alli. Krapp's Last Tape was performed twice at the festival – in 1960 with the Irish actor Cyril Cusack under the direction of Howard Sackler, and in 1968 a staging by Phil Flad starring the American Michael Pataki.

Broadcast « Patrice Guay, Eng.
The industry of television broadcasting is changing. After the explosion of channels following the arrival of cable TV, content distribution toward the Internet and the various mobile platforms poses new challenges to the industry. Indeed, there is no standardization for the distribution format on these new platforms. Also, while advertising revenues are growing on the alternative channels, they are not at the same level as traditional media.
At the same time, new workflows based on standard IT practices are emerging. Technologies and know-how specific to information technology are increasingly used in the broadcast industry: server virtualization, data storage, IP networking, etc.

Manuel Balsera Rodríguez, (conocido por sus convecinos como Lin de La Sala) (*1919-†2005) nacido en Mallecina y residente el pueblo de La Sala, en la parroquia de Godán (Salas) en 1919 fue alcalde de Salas entre 1983 y 1987 por AP obteniendo 7 concejales por 6 del PSOE ganando por una distancia mínima (101 votos).

Ganadero, político y uno de los fundadores de Central Lechera Asturiana, fue ante todo un hombre del campo, con notable prestigio e influencia en dicho medio. Desarrolló una fecunda trayectoria ganadera y una no menos importante carrera política vinculada a Alianza Popular, que lo reclutó a comienzos de los ochenta y con el que ganó la alcaldía de Salas para el mandato de 1983 a 1987, decidiendo no presentarse a la reelección y retornar a sus labores ganaderas.

Hombre sencillo y de gran inteligencia natural, Lin de la Sala gozaba de mucho predicamento entre las gentes de la Asturias rural, como se puso de manifiesto durante el proceso de fundación de Central Lechera cuando la recorrió para captar cooperativistas. Fue también presidente de la Cámara Agraria de Salas, donde destacó por su inestimable apoyo a los compañeros ganaderos.

Falleció el 19 de marzo de 2005, a los 86 años de edad en su residencia de La Sala.

It's hard to top Black Jack but we have with Bonnet. Ed Speleers committed to this. People are going to hate him. He's so charming, so you kind of like him, but you find out later down the line that he does some really terrible things. He's a great new villain.
Stephen Bonnet will be an Irish pirate and smuggler who crosses paths with Claire and Jamie in the new world. Book readers know that the printed page version of him is pretty dastardly, but there was no saying just how dark the show would go with the adaptation. Outlander has taken its fair share of liberties with the source material of Diana Gabaldon's book saga. Judging by Sam Heughan's comments when the Outlander team spoke with THR, Bonnet could be even worse than he was on the page. Black Jack Randall had my skin absolutely crawling by the time he was finally killed off; I hate to imagine what Bonnet will have to do to be even worse.
That said, the description of Bonnet as "charming" helps explain the casting of Ed Speleers in the role. Speleers doesn't exactly have the look that most of us probably imagine for a pirate, and his character on Downton Abbey wasn't exactly an epic villain like Bonnet evidently will be on Outlander. Ed Speelers can certainly deliver the charm; the fear factor is what remains to be seen.
Stephen Bonnet is a pure psychopath and a narcissist whose day-to-day is, 'What's going to pleasure me?' He's also a chameleon. He can act like anybody and fit into any situation, and that's what makes him so different. You never know what you're going to get with him.
Black Jack Randall could always be counted upon to slip up and do something villainous, especially if Jamie was around. Stephen Bonnet sounds like he will be much more difficult for Jamie and Claire to anticipate and protect against in Season 4. As a pirate, Bonnet also won't have the same restraints as Randall did as a member of the British military. He may be able to just go ahead and do whatever he wants to do, and that should be very dangerous for any who get in his way. Since Jamie and Claire specialize in ending up in the way of very dangerous people, we can probably expect some very ugly scenes between the three.
Luck has played a big part in his life. He's always had luck on his shoulder that enables him to go through life with this 'I'm invincible' feeling. He's a happy psychopath. It's a totally different flavor because it's with glee that he does the things he does. He doesn't torment himself because he feels like he has luck on his side and he's beyond any harm.
How very like Claire and Jamie to escape certain death in Scotland over and over again, stage elaborate escapes, and survive adventures on the high seas only to happen to cross paths with a "happy psychopath!" Hopefully these two get to enjoy some down time before and/or after Stephen Bonnet enters their lives and inevitably screws everything up for them. We'll have to wait and see.
No premiere date for Outlander Season 4 has been announced at this point, but it will debut in 2018. For more of what has been confirmed about what's to come, check out our breakdown of what we know so far about Outlander Season 4. Our midseason TV premiere guide can point you toward what you can watch while we wait for more Outlander, and our rundown of TV renewals and cancellations can fill you in on the network shows that will and will not be back next season.

Then, we spotted the huge sand dunes ahead as we made our way into the park. Deposits from eroded mountains, the sand dunes were a sight to see. We couldn't wait to jump in. Dogs are allowed on the dunes so we took Leo along for the adventure. Many people had coolers and sand boards as they made their way up to dunes. It definitely seemed like a fun weekend playground for the locals.
In addition to hiking the dunes, there is Medano Pass, an off road trail for high clearance vehicles. We reached the point of no return before we decided to stop. Our Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is equipped to go down the road, but we would have had to deflate our tires to 20 PSI to tackle the soft sand. Since we only planned a short morning trip, we decided not to forge ahead. If you do take this road, there is an air pump at the entrance where you can fill up the tires.
We also checked out Piñon Flats Campground inside the park which has 88 campsites and some were big enough to accommodate our motorhome under 30 feet. The view of the dunes from the campground was hard to beat. Next tie, we will make a reservation and spend a few days of sandboarding down the dunes.

Freight Farms is a pioneer in the container farm space. Launched in 2013, after a successful Kickstarter campaign for a prototype container farm, the company has been a leader in container farms and mobile farm solutions ever since.
The Kickstarter prototype eventually evolved into what they now dub the Leafy Green Machine. These are container farms that do what they say, produce a bounty of leafy greens, anywhere in the world, regardless of climate.
The Leafy Green Machine is a portable and modular farm that can be stacked and shipped like shipping containers.
The farms use a hydroponics system to replace the soil with circulating water, efficiently delivering necessary nutrients to the plants. The farms use ZipGrow towers from Plenty (formerly Bright Agrotech) to maximize output and efficiency in their units.
There has been some controversy over the viability of container farms, even from the founders of the ZipGrow, but that hasn't stopped the company from being a leader in CEA container farming and agtech.
With this new partnership, they will be having an even greater global impact by entering into Vietnam. Everlane is a San Francisco based retailer known for its commitment to radical transparency and high quality, ethically made products. Everlane will be installing three Leafy Green Machines at their LEED certified factory in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Their goal is to use the fams to help them with their goal of providing factory workers with two healthy meals a day.
The project was funded through Everlane's Black Friday Fund, an annual initiative that uses their Black Friday sales to improve the lives of factory workers at their factories.
With pesticide-free produce being a huge issue in Vietnam, Everlane is helping their workers avoid the risks and exposure to these dangerous chemicals.

15 Best 'In Living Color' Performances
By Hannah Dutch On 18 January 2018
Heading into the 90s, hip-hop and urban culture was on the verge a new frontier.
With the music, fashion, and lingo bred by hip-hop beginning to infiltrate pop culture, new cultural institutions began to emerge, one them being the legendary comedy sketch show In Living Color.
Created by actor, comedian, and filmmaker Keenen Ivory Wayans, In Living Color would revolutionize the world sketch comedy by showcasing the marriage between comedy and hip-hop during the show's five-season run.
Debuting on April 15, 1990, In Living Color quickly became one the hottest shows on television in large part due to its cast talent, which included an unknown Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans, Jamie Foxx, Tommy Davidson, and a host other stars that would become legends within the comedy world.
However, in addition to the humorous antics and characters associated with the show, one aspect that drew viewers to In Living Color was its implementation guest performers, which began during its second season.
Beginning with Queen Latifah, the show's first ficial rap act to rock the crowd, In Living Color would welcome a diverse cast the genre's biggest names. Among those that would appear on the show were 3rd Bass, KRS-One, Big Daddy Kane, A Tribe Called Quest, MC Lyte and other premier artists, helping make In Living Color a hotbed for hip-hop and further introducing the culture to middle America by bringing it into prime-time.
We've compiled a list 15 the hottest live performances in In Living Color history in celebration the show's ties to hip-hop.

Building a Cricket Library
In Books and Movies by Bill Ricquier 15/10/17
Is cricket the most literary of games?
There is obviously no real answer to this question. For all I know there is a wealth of literature concerning football – The Beautiful Game – but somehow, I doubt it. There is some terrific journalism, but that's a different thing.
There are a lot of cricket anthologies, some good, some not so good. Unquestionably the best is The Cricketer's Companion, edited by Alan Ross. Ross was the cricket correspondent of The Observer, but he was never "just" a newspaperman. He was a genuine man of letters, a distinguished poet who for many years was editor of The London Magazine, renowned for its reviews of books, the arts and cultural life generally.
The Cricketer's Companion, published by Eyre & Spottiswoode in 1960, is a wonderful book. The first section, "Cricket Stories", has extracts from work by, among others, Dickens, Mary Russell Mitford and L P Hartley, though nothing from the best of all cricket stories, "Spedegue's Dropper", by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. There follow sections on great players and great matches, and the volume concludes with seventy pages of cricket poetry, with contributors including Byron (who played at Lord's), Siegfried Sassoon, P G Wodehouse, John Arlott – a poetry producer at the BBC before he became perhaps the most eloquent and distinctive of all radio sports commentators – Norman Nicholson, and Ross himself. Of a later vintage, Ross's poem, "Late Gower", cannot fail to bring a lump to the throat. Harold Pinter wrote some very effective cricket poetry ("Hutton and the Past" perhaps the best). One poem runs, in its entirety:
I saw Len Hutton in his prime.
Another time, another time.
The story goes that Pinter telephoned his friend, the cricket-loving playwright Simon Gray, to ask what he thought of his new poem. "I haven't had time to read it", said Gray.
If there is an equivalent in football – or golf, or tennis – to The Cricketer's Companion, I would love to read it. (To be fair, the golf writer, Bernard Darwin, was more than a mere journalist; to prove it, he wrote an acclaimed biography of The Great Cricketer, W G Grace.)
The book would probably have to be the starting point if I were building a cricket library from scratch.
I say "probably" because there is another obvious starting point and that is a volume – or more – of Wisden Cricketers' Almanack. Wisden, the "cricketers' Bible", currently in its 154th edition, is unique, and difficult to describe effectively in a few sentences. As its name indicates it is, on the one hand, a gazetteer, a record of global first-class cricket over a particular period of time – in recent times, effectively a calendar year. This involves full scorecards and reports of "major" matches, including domestic (county) cricket in England and detailed general surveys, and averages, relating to domestic cricket elsewhere. This takes up the lion's share of the book and this aspect of Wisden has only changed in the sense that the volume of cricket played around the world has grown enormously over time.
Another thing that has stayed the same is The Five Cricketers of the Year feature, chosen by the editor every year since 1897. A player cannot be picked twice. Traditionally focus has been on performances in the relevant English season. The 2017 edition features two genuinely great players who would certainly not have had another opportunity to appear, the Pakistani duo Misbah-ul-haq and Younis Khan.
In other respects, Wisden has changed considerably. But unlike most things, especially when subjected to purported "upgrading", Wisden is getting better. First, the comment section, historically something of a mixed bag, is now consistently of the highest quality. There were usually a few good articles in Wisden. Editors now are much more adventurous than they were, and there are more quality writers to choose from. The Test match reports and major obituaries are often superbly written.
The other big change concerns the Records section. Part of the point of Wisden has been its role as a journal of record and statistical authority. Historically the legendary "Births and Deaths" section, recording those crucial dates for every first-class cricketer, formed a critical part of the volume. In the 1935 edition, Births and Deaths took up eighty-eight pages. By 1967 it had come down to fifty-seven, with detailed instructions as to which editions to consult to find the missing details. Now the whole thing is more focussed and streamlined. There is editorial recognition of the amount of detail available online, including Wisden's own website. In short, the previous level of detail regarding Test and first-class records is no longer available in the book itself. Still, if you know your way around it – it's not straightforward – Wisden remains a statistical goldmine.
A decent cricket library without Wisden is that rarest of things, a genuine oxymoron. I did mention that it is difficult to explain what is so special about it. All I can say is that, if you are genuinely interested, pick one up and have a look at it. Then, see how long it takes before you've had enough.
A record of a sport must be at least as much about pictures as about words (Arlott's unique talent was to be able to produce both simultaneously). Cricket has a supreme picture book, the sumptuous Pageant of Cricket, produced by the Anglo-Australian writer David Frith (Macmillan 1987). Beginning at what Frith describes as "the mists of antiquity" – an engraving of Edward I, who apparently encouraged his son to play a game which Frith thinks must have been an ancestor of cricket – and finishing at the time of publication, the book contains an astonishing range of pictures, enriched by Frith's pithy but deeply knowledgeable captions.
CLR James
Now, to "normal" books. Sometimes, when there's a subject matter you love, you need something that takes you outside it, and gives you a bigger picture. Cricket literature has that something: Beyond a Boundary, by the Trinidadian Marxist philosopher and historian C L R James. Again, this is not an easy book to classify. It begins as a memoir of the author's early years in Trinidad, following the cricket and cricketers of the West Indies. The broader context, though, of race and politics in the Caribbean, is never far from the surface, and these themes are given a perspective broader still as James ranges over cricket history in England and the colonies. James was at the forefront of a campaign to install Frank Worrell as the first black West Indian captain. Arlott, reviewing the book (Hutchinson, 1963, but reissued many times since) in the 1964 Wisden – he did all the Wisden book reviews between 1950 and 1991 – described it simply as "the finest book ever written about the game of cricket".
Cricket history has been a fertile source for many authors – John Major and the former Jamaican Prime Minister, Michael Manley, among them – but some of these can be a little turgid for someone starting to develop an interest. If one is looking for passion, learned research and a winning prose style, look no further than Peter Oborne's Wounded Tiger (Simon & Schuster, 2014), about the controversial, rollercoaster history of cricket in Pakistan.
There are lots of books about cricket matches. The classic format was the tour book. There are dozens, if not hundreds of these, but the masters of the genre were Ross and Jack Fingleton. If I had to nominate one cricket book to take with me to the proverbial desert island it might well be Ross's Australia 55, his account of Hutton's triumphant Ashes tour of 1954-55. Ross is very good on the cricket, but there is so much more to the book than that. It is a genuine and beautifully crafted travel book, as much about Australia as about bat and ball.
Fingleton was special. For a start, he was a top-class player, opening for Australia in eighteen Tests. He was a professional journalist – a political commentator. In 2001, as part of his "The New Ball" project the English writer Rob Steen produced a brilliant volume called The Write Stuff. He asked twenty-two authors and cricket people to nominate one scribe each, write about him or her and nominate a particular piece for inclusion in the book. Fingleton was the only writer to be selected by more than one contributor.
He played in the Bodyline series and wrote about it in Cricket Crisis. He wrote two marvellous books about tours of England by Australia. The first was on Don Bradman's Invincibles of 1948, Brightly Fades the Don. Fingleton was no friend of Bradman but this, as one would expect, is a thoroughly objective account. My favourite, though, is about the next tour, in 1953, The Ashes Crown the Year. I'm not sure how many times I have read this book, but I could read it again tomorrow. Fingleton's understanding of character and context gives the book the vibrancy of a well written novel.
Tour books don't work anymore because tours have become so boring. Even Alan Ross would struggle to make a description of Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow playing Call of Duty interesting. The last authentic tour book was a fitting one, Pundits from Pakistan (Picador, 2005), Rahul Bhattacharya's finely crafted account of India's tour of Pakistan in 2003-04.
The modern successor to Ross and Fingleton is the great Australian Gideon Haigh. He produced books on every Ashes series from 2005 to 2013-14, and they are indispensable. It is intriguing that he did not do a book on the 2015 series. Perhaps he shared the not uncommon view of the quality of the cricket on offer.
An honourable mention for a small masterpiece by the distinguished social historian David Kynaston. W G's Birthday Party (1990, Chatto & Windus) is about a single match played between the Gentlemen and the Players at Lord's in July 1898 to celebrate the fiftieth birthday of W G Grace. Kynaston's eye for the quirky detail has a field day in what is not just an account of the match itself but also of the richly varied lives of the twenty-two participants.
Of course there is no shortage of books about players, biographies, autobiographies and memoirs. Again, it is a mixed bag. On my own shelves I have eight books about Shane Warne, most of them unreadable, in particular the ones purportedly penned by the great leg spinner himself. As Warne has claimed – rather proudly – never to have read a book in his life he can hardly be held responsible for any editorial or stylistic shortcomings, but you get my drift. The main exception is Haigh's On Warne (2012, Simon & Schuster), not a biography but a series of essays on aspects of Warne's career.
If I had to pick a biography it would probably be Fred Arlott's book on Fred Trueman. Lyrically written and richly, sometimes hilariously anecdotal, it is a fine account of Trueman's career, although it does not pretend to look beyond the cricket. For a deeper examination of a sportsman's life one can do no better than Duncan Hamilton's moving biography of the nan whose career was made and broken by Bodyline, Harold Larwood (2009, Quercus).
As for books by cricketers, obviously quality is very mixed. Usually a lot depends on the ghost. But not always. Steve Waugh has been a prolific writer and his tour diaries are excellent. His autobiography is a real achievement; it weighs in at 801 pages, so you have to be a real fan to make it through to the end. Of the ghosted variety Marcus Trescothick's is exceptional. Coming Back To Me (2008, HarperSport), with Peter Hayter, gives a moving and frank account of the former England batsman's travails with depression. I think, though, it is just pipped by The Test (2015, Yellow Jersey Press), an account by Simon Jones of his career but using the 2005 Ashes as a peg. It is quite brilliantly ghosted by Jon Hotten: Jones's voice comes through, clear and authentic. Often deeply moving too, the most effective parts of a highly effective whole are the descriptions of the games in that extraordinary series; the intensity of taking part comes through in a remarkable fashion.
Neville Cardus. Scan of photo by Else Mayer-Lismann. From Wikipedia
Well informed readers might have noticed that there is one name I haven't mentioned yet. It is true that no respectable cricket library would be complete without something from (Sir) Neville Cardus. Of course he features in Ross's anthology, and in all worthwhile anthologies, but that is probably not enough.
Cardus was the first great cricket writer and the first modern one. Anybody who has written about the game since the Second World War owes something to him. Largely self-taught he became both the music and the cricket correspondent of the old Manchester Guardian (making him a sort of rich man's Michael Henderson). His style was unique and often very funny. Much of his work remains available courtesy of The Souvenir Press.
His early books often combined essays on players and accounts of series. A classic example is Good Days, which has about thirty essays plus Cardus's account of the 1934 Ashes.
A classic essay is "The Noblest Roman". This is a piece on the England and Lancashire batsman, A C Maclaren, who made 424 against Somerset in 1895. The final paragraph gives you the flavour of Cardus's style:
He was the noblest Roman of them all.
The last impression in my memory of him is the best.
I saw him batting in a match just before the war;
he was coming to the end of his sway as a great batsman.
And on a bad wicket he was knocked about by a vile fast bowler,
hit all over the body.
And every now and then one of the old imperious strokes shot
grandeur over the field. There he stood, a fallible Maclaren,
riddled through and through, but glorious still.
I thought of Turner's "Fighting Temeraire",
as Maclaren batted a scarred innings that day,
and at last returned to the pavilion with the sky of his career
red with a sun that was going down.

NORTH CAROLINA: Feds bust MUSLIM convenience store terror ring in alleged al-Qaeda finance scheme
December 15, 2010 by BareNakedIslam Leave a Comment
Federal agents have raided several Muslim-owned convenience stores and a mosque in tiny Henderson, N.C., while arresting at least two Muslim men in connection with the raid.
WND — Authorities suspect the stores were operating a so-called hawala money-transfer network supporting terrorist activities in Yemen, including al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, WND has learned. AQAP's leaders include fugitive al-Qaeda cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who has been linked to 10 major terror plots in the past year alone.
Mohamed Mohamed Nagi, 33, and Abdullah Ahmed Almuwallad, 32, have been charged with food stamp fraud. Additionally, Almuwallad has been charged with transporting stolen cigarettes and possession of the illegal stimulant cathinone, more commonly known a khat. Khat is popular in many countries of the Arabian peninsula and the Horn of Africa, but in Yemen it's a full-blown national addiction.
FBI agents have had both men under surveillance for several months. Federal, state and local law enforcement agents on Thursday searched four stores in Henderson, located about 40 miles north of Raleigh, N.C., including the stores where Nagi and Almuwallad worked. Agents converged on the targets using a helicopter and unmarked cars.
At least two of the stores – Dabney Pit Stop and Brothers Food Mart – are owned by Abdo Ali Saleh, 39, a Yemeni national who immigrated to the U.S in 1997 on a student visa, federal authorities told WND. Saleh also operates a mosque and madrassa behind another store he owns, Henderson Furniture Outlet Inc., which also has been under surveillance.
Authorities described the small mosque, which serves about three dozen Muslims, as a "place of interest" and Saleh as a "person of interest" in the investigation. Saleh has not been charged with a crime, but sources say charges may be pending.
State records show Saleh, who could not be reached for comment, also owns the Greystone Variety Mart and Raleigh Road Best Bet in Henderson. Authorities say Saleh has at least two relatives in the area – Mohamed Saleh and Najeeb Saleh. He also is related to Saleh Saleh in Dearborn, Mich. Federal records show Saleh has worked as a U.S. flag vessel operator.
Investigators suspect proceeds from cigarette smuggling and food stamp irregularities have been laundered through the Henderson stores to terror front groups in Yemen. Well-organized Islamic and other cigarette smuggling networks generate between $200,000 and $300,000 per week in New York alone, found a 2008 House Homeland Security Committee staff report.
In May, Hazam Ali Ahmed of Knoxville, Tenn., pleaded guilty to 16 federal firearms, conspiracy, cigarette smuggling and money laundering charges. He bought 20,000 cartons of cigarettes from low-tax Tennessee and resold them in high-tax Michigan. Ahmed in turn sent the profits to the Middle East. An FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force wiretap caught Ahmed recruiting for al-Qaeda and talking about blowing up a shopping mall.
Back in January 2003, Rep. Sue Myrick, R-N.C., took heat for remarks she had earlier made to the conservative Heritage Foundation about domestic security threats. In a question-and-answer session, she said: "Look at who runs all the convenience stores across the country. Every little town you go into, you know?"
Myrick, a member of the House Intelligence Committee, was criticized by the Council on American-Islamic Relations for (CORRECTLY) singling out Arabs and Muslims. Myrick explains terrorism-in-convenience stores comment
But Myrick says she was referring, among other things, to a June 2002 case involving Mohamad Hammoud of Charlotte, N.C., who was convicted on federal charges of materially supporting terrorism. He and nine other Muslim men were convicted on related charges. The conspirators bought cigarettes in North Carolina, which then had a 5-cent-per-pack tax, applied bogus tax stamps, and then sold them in 75-cent-tax Michigan.
The Lebanese gang funneled millions in profits from the illegal smuggling operation to Hezbollah, along with stun guns, night-vision goggles, blasting equipment and other gear they bought for the terrorist group.
The Somali community also has been the subject of federal investigations into terrorist money-laundering involving food stamps. Federal agents suspect Somali refugees have funneled millions of dollars from food-stamp fraud and drug sales through Somali grocery stores into overseas bank accounts used by al-Qaeda.
CAIR has defended the Somali store owners against the allegations, even meeting with the head of the civil-rights unit of the USDA to complain about the agency's food-stamp investigations, which it argues are "causing enormous harm to the owners and the Somali community," reveals a confidential CAIR memo published in the book, "Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America."

Medact – Advocating for a Health-Centred Economic and Political System
Amount:£136,850
Awarded on:11/06/2019
Duration:2 years
Status:Live
After 10 years of austerity, the UK is one of the most unequal countries in Europe. This is reflected in the lived experience of individuals and marginalised communities. Healthcare workers are some of the first to see the impact of an unequal society through the ways in which issues like food insecurity, precarious employment, high housing costs and reduced public services are affecting their patients. Health data is one of the most effective ways of assessing structural inequality.
And yet, healthcare workers are too often left out of the analysis, design and advocacy for policies that could transform the way our economy functions and bring about a more equal society. Many health workers feel unprepared to intervene in macro-economic discussions, and where economics is looked at through a health lens, often the structural analysis needed to address the root causes of inequality and ill-health is missing. This means that health workers are not playing the part they could play in challenging the dominant political and economic systems which influence health inequality over the long term.
What will the project try to achieve?
Medact's overall aim in this project is to develop a group of healthcare workers who have a clear analysis of the systemic changes needed to create a more equal society, and to empower them to intervene effectively in political discussions about health and economics. During the course of the project they will identify a specific policy target on which healthcare workers can lead a strategic campaign for economic transformation in solidarity with grassroots groups and impacted communities. Through doing this they will also seek to challenge the idea that a health professional's role should focus solely on individual patient care, and make clear that a public health approach to economic policies is essential for us to challenge inequality, and its root causes.
Who might be interested in this project?
Healthcare workers and health academics interested in working for a more equal society. People from all backgrounds campaigning for systemic change to reduce inequality and ensure everyone can lead a good and healthy life. Economists interested in putting health at the centre of their analysis of systemic change. Ultimately, Medact hopes this work will be of interest to policymakers, and will help to put political decision-makers under necessary pressure to change the systems which create the root causes of inequality.

Q: How to have editing capabilities in command line apps that do not provide them There are some command line programs that take input from the user, but do not provide editing capabilities, like sh (alias dash), or nslookup and others.
There is a way to force such applications to provide editing capabilities to correct the current line or recall previous lines?

A: There are at least three tool to obtain what is required, these are:

*

*rlwrap -- readline feature command line wrapper

*rlfe  -- a front-end using readline to "cook" input lines for other programs

*ledit -- line editor for interactive programs

You can use each of them simpy prepeding to command to wrap, as in
rlwrap sh

The first, rlwrap, seems the best, because the second make the line in bold, and the third fails to show the prompt with sh, nevertheless it works.

A: The ubiquitous technology to learn is readline, because programs that have been compiled with readline support already have this capability - in whatever Linux distribution and in whatever Unix GNU utilities. (Most GNU programs have been done this way, and it's "painful" when they have not - enough for me that I would recompile them if they didn't get done "right.") It's a lot like learning the vi editor - once it's "in you" it never leaves; and, it makes working with the various programs much more proficient and enjoyable. The readline support behaves the same in whichever program was compiled with that library. How readline was implemented in an individual software program was up to the programmer(s) of that program, so mileage may vary.
For example, in BASH, the up arrow key recalls the previous line, and in almost any console program, [CTRL]+[U] erases everything left of the cursor while [ALT]+[F] moves forward one word and [ALT]+[B] moves backward one word, and many more...
Nslookup does have this, and sh/dash - but they are minimal.

April 17 2019 FEA President's Report
OVERSEAS PAY RAISE
It is great to be able to start an update with good news. The SY 18-19 overseas salary schedules have been finalized and include the largest average rates of increase for positions in the FEA overseas bargaining unit since the 2007-08 school year. For the full update on the overseas salary increase go to this page.
PCS TAX RESOURCE PAGE
In the wake of the recent April 15 tax filing deadline, FEA has created a page, with links to RITA info from DoDEA, updates from FEA on the PCS tax issue, and details about an NEA Member Benefits loan program that may be of use to members in need of added cash on a short- or long-term basis because of the PCS moving tax. Those who are eligible for RITA are reminded they must apply for it: RITA is not automatically sent to you. Visit the link above for a summation of all news related to FEA/NEA's ongoing efforts to repeal the unfair PCS tax or to at least expand RITA eligibility to include incoming and retiring/separating overseas employees.
OVERSEAS CONTRACT BARGAINING
Not content with the White House-appointed Federal Service Impasses Panel allowing them to all but dictate the ground rules for bargaining of a new contract for Overseas employees, DoDEA management is now attempting to circumvent those same ground rules and force FEA to engage in bargaining during the summer months. This is an obvious violation of the existing negotiated agreement, which remains in full force and effect until a new contract is legally implemented. FEA is examining legal remedies to resolve this dispute.
ANTI-LABOR EXECUTIVE ORDERS
Oral argument were heard earlier this month by a three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit over a lawsuit FEA and other labor organizations won last year, opposing a trio of anti-worker Executive Orders issues by the Trump White House a year ago. Those Executive Orders would deny federal employees due process in removal cases, drastically reduce the availability of official time for union reps to represent their bargaining unit members, and place severe restrictions on the time allowed for any collective bargaining between the government and its employees' representatives. A U.S. District Judge ruled in favor of FEA and other unions last year that those Executive Orders violated existing federal law. The government appealed that judge's ruling and the arguments heard this month were over the government's appeal. A decision on the government's appeal is expected sometime later this year. Whatever the decision, the losing side is likely to petition the full Court of Appeals to reconsider the case. The case may even reach the Supreme Court. We are now in an environment where we must fight for our most basic rights, even when those rights are spelled out by law.
RETIRED MEMBERSHIP
Now is the time of year when many members decide they are ready to retire from DoDEA. Whether you plan to retire this summer or 20 summers from now, we encourage you to join FEA/NEA Retired. You can retain your liability insurance for any teaching or subbing you decide to do in your post-DoDEA life as well as continue accessing Association updates, publications and other resources. You pay a one-time fee for lifetime Retired membership in both FEA and NEA. That fee will go up significantly this fall when NEA enacts its first Retired dues increase in a number of years. By joining now, you lock in your lifetime Retired membership at the current rate, regardless whether you're retiring this year or years from now, so long as you remain an Active member of FEA/NEA until the time you retire from DoDEA. Learn more and find the Retired Membership and Pre-Retired Membership forms at the FEA Retired Information page.
April 22nd is Earth Day. Explore new and review familiar ways to live responsibly. NEA's Earth Day curriculum.
April is National Poetry Month. For ways to celebrate and bring poetry alive, go to Poem In A Pocket day. As a classroom teacher, I found "Poem in your Pocket" Day to be a great new way to engage kids and to bring poetry into classrooms and hallways. This year, "Poem in Your Pocket" Day is April 18.
Patricia Hannon, Hohenfels ES, has been selected as FEA's nominee for the NEA Foundation Award for Teaching Excellence. We have so many great teachers in DoDEA that is it wonderful when we have a chance to honor one of our own. Tricia will be honored, along with other nominees, at the NEA Foundation Gala in February 2020.

How would we respond to an oil spill in the Arctic?
This is Making Waves from NOAA's National Ocean Service. I'm Troy Kitch.
What comes to mind when you think about the Arctic Ocean? Sea ice, polar bears, harsh wind, frigid waters. It's a cold place. We all know that. But here's the thing … it's getting warmer up there. Every summer, the extent of the sea ice in the Arctic is shrinking. And as the sea ice shrinks, here's what we're likely to see: more shipping, more oil exploration, more tourism, and more fishing. And all of this activity means that in the future, some day, we'll probably going have to deal with an oil spill in this remote region. So how do we prepare for that?
The Coast Guard cutter Healy, a 420-foot-long icebreaker, is now heading north in answer to this question. The mission: an annual exercise called Arctic Shield led by the U.S. Coast Guard's Research and Development Center. Onboard the Healy, scientists are gearing up to deal with a simulated oil spill in the icy Arctic.
To tell us all about Arctic Shield and NOAA's role in this expedition, I called Zachary Winters-Staszak, a spatial data specialist on the mission from the National Ocean Service's Response and Restoration office. We caught up with him just before the _Healy_ departed Seward, Alaska.
So Zach, tell us a little bit about Arctic Shield.
[Zachary Winters-Staszak] "Arctic Shield 2014 is a technology demonstration focused on oil spill response. We'll be onboard the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Healy for about three weeks. There are 50 scientists and 80 crew aboard the ship and we're going to steam from Seward, which is where we're docked right now, to the ice edge in the Arctic Ocean, hopefully somewhere 75 degrees north in latitude."
So Seward, where you are now, is in the southern part of Alaska. How long is it going to take you to get that far north to where the ice is?
[Zachary Winters-Staszak] "It will take us roughly about a week to get up to the Barrow area, where we'll start looking for different types of ice. The various technologies that are being demonstrated have different requirements for the type of ice they need to be deployed in."
So how will you be using these different technologies once you get to where you need to be in the ice?
[Zachary Winters-Staszak] "So this year the Coast Guard is presenting the scientists here with an oil spill simulation where they're going to use an inert dye compound they're going to put into the water which will just naturally dissipate over time and we're going to deploy various technologies to try and track what they're calling a plume, a dye plume, and NOAA's here to kind of work in the same vein as if it were an actual oil spill."
Can you tell us a little bit more about NOAA's role in this exercise?
[Zachary Winters-Staszak] "NOAA's Office of Response and Restoration is here to support the Coast Guard in their mission. We provide scientific support to the Coast Guard during pollution spills and natural disaster response. The U.S. Coast Guard Research and Development Center, which is facilitating this exercise, they've done it since 2012 and this is the second year that we've been invited to participate. NOAA is also represented by the unmanned aircraft system program office. They'll be collecting aerial imagery and data with a small unmanned planned called the Puma. NOAA is also represented during this mission by the National Ice Center. The lead scientist for that center is here."
So the scientific crew on the ship are mainly from the Coast Guard and NOAA, right?
[Zachary Winters-Staszak] "Oh no, there's plenty of other organizations, institutes, and agencies that are onboard as well. One of the cool things we're looking at is the Oil Spill Recovery Institute sent up some drifter buoys for us to deploy and track the ice movement and sea surface currents. They actually provided initial funding for Arctic ERMA, which I'll talk about in a little bit. University of Washington's Applied Physics Lab is here. We work with them on the marginal ice zone program looking at sea ice dynamics. Cambridge University is here. They'll be deploying an autonomous underwater vehicle, an AUV, to try and map the underside of the ice where oil tends to collect. And also one of the main technology - what we're calling nodes - is an aerostat balloon that's going to collect video and imagery, and that's by Inland-Gulf Maritime, and we worked with them earlier this year on another demonstration project."
So there's a lot of different technologies at work with the oil spill simulation. As I understand it, your specific role on this mission, along with your colleague Jill Bodnar, has to do with putting all this data that is gathered together into a mapping product for everyone to use. It's a tool you referred to as 'Arctic ERMA' just a moment ago. Can you explain what this is?
[Zachary Winters-Staszak] "So ERMA is NOAA's Environmental Response Management Application. It's an Internet-accessible geographic information system, or Internet-based map. One of our main roles here is to integrate the data streams from various technologies being demonstrated here. We'll bring those data streams into ERMA to provide a centralized visual representation of data that are collected in the field. For Arctic Shield specifically, we've brought a stand-alone instance of ERMA that doesn't require an Internet connection and this is going to come in very handy because most of the Alaska coast is very remote and Internet isn't available, especially out in the Arctic Ocean. The need for a tool like this that fills that gap was especially apparent in the native Alaska communities that we've held workshops in. Internet is even unreliable in towns like Barrow, which have a fairly substantial population and infrastructure for an Arctic community."
I think some people may have a hard time visualizing what the Arctic ERMA tool really looks like.
[Zachary Winters-Staszak] "You go to Google Maps and you try to route some place that you need to go. ERMA is going to look a lot like that. There's going to be a map there for you to orient yourself and then you think about the various spatial data products that are out there — you can have high resolution imagery, you can zoom in and see down to two point five meter resolution. You can have, for, you know for ERMA, it makes sense that we would have a lot of wildlife information. You know, where are bowhead whales in different seasons? Where do sea birds nest during various seasons and different times of the year. What type of shoreline do they like? Is there a more rocky shoreline that a different species gravitates to, you know, mud flats ,tundra, those type of things, we can put those on a map all together in one centralized focus."
That's pretty cool. So it gives the people who are responding to, say, an an oil spill a really detailed view of not only where the oil is and where it is moving, but also where the the wildlife is at.
[Zachary Winters-Staszak] "Exactly. So you can bring in operational data if there were an incident. So you could have ship locations, say, if two ships were to collide. You could have those point features overlaid on the map, and also have sensitive habitat turned on, so you can see proximity to where oil could potentially spill and come aground in those areas. So you can deploy measures to protect those really sensitive areas, those can also be placed on the map."
I can see how useful that would be. But here's a question I'm sure you sometimes hear: why couldn't you just simulate dealing with a spill in a cold, icy place by using, say, a computer model? What's the benefit of actually travel to the Arctic on an icebreaker instead of just doing this exercise from home?
[Zachary Winters-Staszak] "Well, the U.S. Arctic is home to a lot of people. There are many native Alaskan communities, and those communities could be severely affected if oil were to be spilled. These communities rely on the Arctic environment for subsistence activity that are fundamental to their cultural heritage. I think to be truly prepared, you can't replace hands on experience in an environment that you're looking to protect. If oil were actually on the water, on the ice, you would quickly ask questions: how do you get there? How far is any significant infrastructure from where the spill could potentially occur? A lot of these places are really, really remote, so where would oil spill responders sleep and eat? What equipment do you need? How do you get that there? These are questions that are best answered, I think, when you actually have to deal with it. And that's not necessarily something that Arctic Shield is focused on, but having professionals in the field like you do here dealing with the Arctic environment, dealing with the elements, those questions are in people's minds. People are actively thinking about these situations."
I guess I just have one more question. What's it like to be on an icebreaker in such a remote place for such a long time? I understand that this is the second year for you participating in Arctic Shield.
[Zachary Winters-Staszak] "Well, you better really like your bunkmates! Three people to a room, six people to a bathroom. No, you get into a routine like anything else pretty quickly: early mornings, long days, early nights. Rinse, repeat. The crew that operate the ship are very good-natured, fun to be around, helpful, and it's just gratifying to work with the different scientists towards a common goal with such an important purpose behind it. There's really nothing quite like the high Arctic. It's very harsh and uncompromising, but in the same right it's also utterly beautiful. I feel really lucky to have the opportunity to be here and to be a part of a demonstration like this."
Zach, thanks for taking the time to talk before heading out — and safe travels! Is there anything else you want to add?
[Zachary Winters-Staszak] "So there are a great amount of unknowns when it comes to oil spill response in the Arctic. The region is entering into a new era. There's a great deal of work to be done. But NOAA is really committed to stewardship in the region and will continue to provide sound scientific research and support to protect the Arctic environment and the people that depend on it."
That was Zachary Winters-Staszak, Geographic Information Systems specialist with NOAA's Response and Restoration office.
