In a Time of Distance And Other Poems
Author: Alexander McCall Smith Format: Hardback Release Date: 15/10/2020
Best known for his No.1 Ladies Detective Agency series, Alexander McCall Smith's writing is nothing if not warm-hearted, charming and filled with the joys of friendship - themes and characteristics that are at the heart of this delightful poetry anthology. Being a book to treasure and return to through the year (and across years), this will make a wonderful gift for fans of his fiction - even those who don't usually read poetry. With sections covering the likes of journeys, Scotland through the seasons, animals, love and longing, books and reading, and places - with contextualisation coming courtesy of the author's personal anecdotes - many of the poems invite readers to slow down, to look, to see, to remember. To take-in "the simple facts of being". Others take readers on evocative journeys - we stand beside the author as he observes Mumbai from his hotel room, and as he and a friend save an oak tree in Scotland. We sit beside him as his train pulls into Kings Cross, as he drives through Los Angeles, as he explores Kerala, South India, and rural Australia. And all of them inspire reflection, and an empathetic urge to take-in the world through the eyes of others.
Author: Arsene Wenger Format: Hardback Release Date: 13/10/2020
There is only one Arsene Wenger - and for the very first time, in his own words, this is his story. In this definitive autobiography, the world-renowned revolutionary football manager discusses his life and career, sharing his leadership principles for success on and off the field and recalling vivid tales of guiding Arsenal to unprecedented success. One of the most influential figures in world football, Wenger won multiple Premier League titles, a record number of FA Cups, and masterminded Arsenal's historic 'Invincibles' season of 2003-2004 and 49-match unbeaten run. He changed the game in England forever, popularising an attacking approach and changing attitudes towards nutrition, fitness and coaching methods - and towards foreign managers. In My Life in Red and White, Wenger charts his extraordinary career, including his rise in France and Japan where he managed Nancy, Monaco and Nagoya Grampus Eight - clubs that also play in red-and-white - to his twenty-two years in north London at the helm of one of the world's biggest clubs. He reflects on Arsenal's astonishing domestic triumphs and bittersweet European campaigns; signing - and selling - some of the world's most talented players; moving the Gunners to their new home, the Emirates Stadium; and the unrest that led to his departure in 2018 and subsequent role as Chief of Global Football Development for FIFA. This book is a must-read for not only Arsenal supporters but football fans everywhere, as well as business leaders and anyone seeking the tools for success in work and life. It will illuminate the mystique surrounding one of the most revered and respected managers, revealing the wisdom and vision that made him an icon in the world's most popular sport.
Secret to Sultan
Author: Gordon Lewis Format: Paperback Release Date: 02/10/2020
Secret to Sultan follows on from Gordon Lewis' first book, the Secret Child. Although I don't think you necessarily need to have read about the first part of Lewis' life in order to enjoy this book, it does start without preamble, so I would recommend you do. Born and raised in a hostel for Single mothers in 1950s Dublin, Gordon has ambitions of a much better life for his family and when he moves with his family to London, he works hard to achieve it. From his interest in pop culture to a Beatles concert, Gordon is inspired to pursue a career in show business. This book focuses on Gordon's career, how he worked hard to develop a very successful Production business before taking on a new challenge of creating a London gay village as a part of the Soho nightclub scene, this lead to his favourite nickname and inspiration for the title "The Sultan of Soho". This book covers such a wide range of modern history. Through Gordon's life experience we learn more about growing up in both Dublin and London, including the discrimination the Irish experienced in England. We find out about the development of a video production company as well as getting behind the scenes access to the running of bars and clubs in Soho. Gordon introduces us to interesting people and colourful anecdotes throughout and I think that this is a witty and wonderful book for all non-fiction fans.
Murder Under the Microscope
Author: James Fraser Format: Hardback Release Date: 01/10/2020
This memoir from a forensic scientist and cold case reviewer makes for absolutely fascinating, and rather chilling reading. Jim Fraser has had a 40 year career which has included the cases of Rachel Nickell and Damilola Taylor. Here he looks at the murder investigations which have been difficult to solve, and cases that remain controversial or unsolved. Bringing his knowledge and personal experience into play helps build a framework of awareness of the challenges faced by investigators. I could tell in the author's note before I started reading that it is really important to the author that this memoir is not seen as gratuitous (though it is graphic). He is clear that the book "melds recollection with reflection… supplemented with research". As someone who worked as a member of police staff for twenty years, I found parts made for uncomfortable reading. Jim Fraser is at times damning, highlighting the downfalls of the system. It is quite obvious that with financial restraints, different systems, and human foibles, mistakes will be made, and when a life is at stake it is hard to swallow. Murder Under the Microscope offers a compelling window into a world that most know little about.
The Haunting of Alma Fielding
Author: Kate Summerscale Format: Paperback Release Date: 01/10/2020
A truly fascinating investigative piece focusing on journalist and ghost hunter Nandor Fodor who researched Alma Fielding in 1938 after a poltergeist attack. Described as historical narrative non fiction, Kate Summerscale opens a door into the world of spiritualism just as the Second World War was starting. Her prologue explains that she visited the Society for Psychical Research to look up Nandor Fodor and found his original papers including the dossier on Alma. It contained transcripts of her seances, interviews, lab reports, x-rays copies of her contracts, notes, sketches and photographs. The author sets out to explore the link between suffering and the supernatural. This is as much about Fodor as it is Fielding, their link at times almost disturbing. The story is laid out before you, Kate Summerscale thoughtfully relays the information without prejudice, and doesn't judge, allowing the reader to form their own thoughts. The Haunting of Alma Fielding is a riveting read encouraging thorough yet reflective reasoning that is likely to continue long after the tale is told.
A Nurse's Story
Author: Louise Curtis Format: Audiobook Release Date: 01/10/2020
Moving, honest and inspiring – this is a nurse's story of life in a busy A&E department during the Covid-19 crisis. Working in A&E is a challenging job but nurse Louise Curtis loves it. She was newly qualified as an advanced clinical practitioner, responsible for life or death decisions about the patients she saw, when the unthinkable happened and the country was hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. The stress on the NHS was huge and for the first time in her life, the job was going to take a toll on Louise herself. In A Nurse's Story she describes what happened next, as the trickle of Covid patients became a flood. And just as tragically, staff in A&E were faced with the effects of lockdown on society. They worried about their regulars, now missing, and saw an increase in domestic abuse victims and suicide attempts as loneliness hit people hard. By turns heartbreaking and heartwarming, this book shines a light on the compassion and dedication of hospital staff during such dark times.
Mantel Pieces
Author: Hilary Mantel Format: Audiobook Release Date: 01/10/2020
A stunning collection of essays and memoir from twice Booker Prize winner and international bestseller Hilary Mantel, author of The Mirror and the Light In 1987, when Hilary Mantel was first published in the London Review of Books, she wrote to the editor, Karl Miller, 'I have no critical training whatsoever, so I am forced to be more brisk and breezy than scholarly.' This collection of twenty reviews, essays and pieces of memoir from the next three decades, tells the story of what happened next. Her subjects range far and wide: Robespierre and Danton, the Hite report, Saudi Arabia where she lived for four years in the 1980s, the Bulger case, John Osborne, the Virgin Mary as well as the pop icon Madonna, a brilliant examination of Helen Duncan, Britain's last witch. There are essays about Jane Boleyn, Charles Brandon, Christopher Marlowe and Margaret Pole, which display the astonishing insight into the Tudor mind we are familiar with from the bestselling Wolf Hall Trilogy. Her famous lecture, 'Royal Bodies', which caused a media frenzy, explores the place of royal women in society and our imagination. Here too are some of her LRB diaries, including her first meeting with her stepfather and a confrontation with a circus strongman. Constantly illuminating, always penetrating and often very funny, interleaved with letters and other ephemera gathered from the archive, Mantel Pieces is an irresistible selection from one of our greatest living writers
In the Dream House
Author: Carmen Maria Machado Format: Paperback Release Date: 01/10/2020
In the Dream House is Carmen Maria Machado's engrossing and wildly innovative account of a relationship gone bad. Tracing the full arc of a harrowing experience with a charismatic but volatile woman, this is a bold dissection of the mechanisms and cultural representations of psychological abuse. Each chapter views the relationship through a different lens, as Machado holds events up to the light and examines them from distinct angles. She casts a critical eye over legal proceedings, fairy tales, Star Trek and Disney villains, as well as iconic works of film and fiction, infusing all with her characteristic wit, playfulness and openness to enquiry. The result is a powerful book that explodes our ideas about what a memoir can do and be.

Author: David Attenborough Format: Hardback Release Date: 01/10/2020
'Read this book to learn, but also to honour the man. We shall never see his like again.' - Sunday Times See the world. Then make it better. 'I am 94. I've had an extraordinary life. It's only now that I appreciate how extraordinary. As a young man, I felt I was out there in the wild, experiencing the untouched natural world - but it was an illusion. The tragedy of our time has been happening all around us, barely noticeable from day to day - the loss of our planet's wild places, its biodiversity. I have been witness to this decline. A Life on Our Planet is my witness statement, and my vision for the future. It is the story of how we came to make this, our greatest mistake - and how, if we act now, we can yet put it right. We have one final chance to create the perfect home for ourselves and restore the wonderful world we inherited. All we need is the will to do so.
The Food Almanac
Author: Miranda York Format: Hardback Release Date: 01/10/2020
A clever concept, delectably delivered - featuring a feast of recipes and tales to inspire readers around the table, around the year, Miranda York's The Food Almanac will make a piquant present for gourmands and bibliophiles. With a bounty of stories, pieces of passion, stylish illustrations and reading lists accompanying the recipes, this is a book to relish over time rather than scoff down in one sitting, though the delicious results might make that quite a feat of restraint. Each chapter covers a month of the year and opens with a handy checklist of seasonal ingredients to look out for, with an in-depth focus on star ingredients - lemons that "bring flashes of brightness to the dull grey days of January". Gooseberries that "perform their spritely dance" in July puddings. September's "tiny, tangy, ancient" crab apples. The "smoky sweetness" of December chestnuts. It's global in outlook too, with poets, novelists and acclaimed food writers and chefs from around the world sharing stories, memories and insights alongside coverage of food-focussed feasts deserving of a fanfare, among them New Orleans Carnival and Anzac Day in Australia. The roll-call of writers provides a rich range of voices and views too, with contributions from chefs Raymond Blanc and José Pizarro, chef, restaurateur and food writer Yotam Assaf Ottolenghi, writer and cook Zoe Adjonyoh, novelists Kit de Waal and Deborah Levy, and many more besides.


Collaborating with producer Clams Casino and experimental electronic musician Katie Gately, Wise has created unique sound collages that are operatic in their own way. Casino, known for his 'cloud rap' productions and tracks for the likes of ASAP Rocky & Lil B ("Be Somebody"), The Weeknd, and Kelela, brings hip hop beats with a spacey, freeform style. Gately, who sculpted the sound on nearly half of the tracks on Soil, is known for constructing pieces from multiple layers and samples. Together, they offer a work that enhances Wise's melismatic singing style with avant garde electronics and multi-layered, hyperprocessed vocals. By also eschewing standard melodies and notions of song construction, the result is more akin to freestyle.
Soil is a mesmerizing project full of lush harmonies and heartfelt lyrics that pushes the envelop through the electronic production, as well as the thematic material. Undefinable, and undeniably unique, the album's deep roots extend into many facets of the Black music spectrum.
If there are artists worthy enough for a Captain Beefheart tribute collaboration, it is the artistic duo of Nona Hendryx and Gary Lucas. The pair first beefed it up in 2013 with The Metropole Orchestra at Amsterdam's Paradiso during an event produced by Dutch journalist and radio presenter Co de Kloet. Four years and multiple hours of creativity later, The World of Captain Beefheart makes its way towards a triplicate fan base for all three musicians—Don Van Vliet, Gary Lucas and Nona Hendryx.
Don Van Vliet, aka Captain Beefheart, first grabbed the public's attention with his cover of Bo Diddley's "Diddy Wah Diddy," capitulating his gritty blues style to an interview on American Bandstand in 1966 and an appearance on ABC's "Where the Action Is". Soon after, Captain Beefheart and the "Magic Band"—whose members differed throughout the years but most notably of musicians Gary Lucas, Jeff Cotton, Bruce Fowler and Victor Hayden—released their first album, Safe as Milk, in 1967.
While many envisioned him as the next blues frontman, Van Vliet had other ideas. His strong interest in experimental, avant-garde sounds—fostered alongside his longtime friend Frank Zappa—would lead him to worldwide notoriety as one of the most singular voices and uncompromising composers in popular music, a trail-blazing maverick who single-handedly changed the face of popular music as we know it. His music combined Delta blues, free-jazz, and proto-punk rock with surrealist imagery, ecological obsession, and ironic humor.
During his 30+ year career, Van Vliet explored musical and lyrical territory never before charted in the confines of a traditional electric band line-up. His was a unique and unforgettable sound which proved highly influential on the first wave of punk and new-wave pioneers including John "Rotten" Lydon, Joe Strummer of the Clash , and Talking Heads' David Byrne, as well as seminal artists such as David Lynch, Laurie Anderson, Ed Ruscha, Julian Schnabel, and Matt Groening. Captain Beefheart/Van Vliet retired from the music scene in 1982 to concentrate on his painting career before passing away from complications of MS in 2010.
Gary Lucas first made his mark as a visionary guitar player on the final last two Beefheart albums, Doc at the Radar Station (1980) and Ice Cream for Crow (1982). A world-renowned instrumentalist and Grammy-nominated songwriter and composer, Lucas has released over 30 acclaimed albums in a variety of genres. Gary also collaborated most significantly with the late Jeff Buckley, co-writing "Grace" and "Mojo Pin", the first two songs on Jeff's 2-million selling "Grace" album.
Nona Hendryx is a longtime fierce admirer of Don Van Vliet's music, and possesses the huge voice and the commanding stage presence necessary to do full justice to repertoire that originally featured Beefheart's unforgettable multi-octave voice. Although she's best known as a funk/soul great thanks to her long tenure with international hitmakers Labelle (as well as the group's antecedent, Patti Labelle and the Bluebelles) in addition to her own excellent R&B solo outings, she is no stranger to experimental rock territory, having been featured as guest vocalist with cutting-edge ensembles including the Talking Heads, Bill Laswell's Material, and Jerry Harrison's Casual Gods.
The World of Captain Beefheart is an album that truly speaks for itself. "Sun Zoom Spark" opens the tribute, proving that in the Beefheart world, Hendryx has vocals worthy of the Captain's raspy legacy. Other classics such as "When It Blows Its Stacks" and a moving rendition of "My Head Is My Only House Unless It Rains" cement the pair's project worthiness. Ably supporting Lucas and Hendryx are expert practitioners of Beefheartian music: bass player Jesse Krakow and drummer Richard Dworkin. Both are veterans of Fast 'N Bulbous, Lucas' free-jazz instrumental outfit that specializes in repertoire from the Van Vliet canon. Completing the lineup is keyboardist Jordan Shapiro, who has played with Lucas in his long-running avant-rock crew, Gods and Monsters.
A visionary and lyricist with unrelenting perseverance, artist Don Van Vliet is deserving of every expertly offered chordal riff Lucas and Hendryx have to give us. Through their dedication and respect to his craft, Captain Beefheart will live on in the hearts and souls of his fans forever, both long-standing and contemporary alike.
The members of TV on the Radio don't care much for generic conventions and it suits them. Looking back on when he first joined the group, vocalist and guitarist Kyp Malone described TVOTR's early sound as "an open mic/karaoke night gone awry." Since the release of OK Calculator, Malone, Tunde Adebimpe, David Andrew Sitek, Jaleel Bunton, and Gerard Smith have maintained the band's creative energy, but focused and streamlined some of the chaos into works of sonic performance art. Formed in New York City in 2001, the band has already released several well received albums. Return to Cookie Mountain (2006) was ranked the fourth best album of the year by Rolling Stone and it earned the band Spin's 2006 title for Artist of the Year.
Dear Science continues TVOTR's tradition of intense multi-tracking and aural sculpting. "Halfway Home" begins with what could almost be a remix of "I Wanna Be Sedated." Instead of offering up mainstream punk, however, the song morphs into something more reminiscent of ragas than Ramones. The opening chord on the synthesizer becomes a sustained drone, supporting both Adebimpe's lilted out lyrics and a polyrhythmic percussion track. The drone shifts slightly to frame the chorus around two minutes into the song, but it only breaks at the very end when the synthesizer finally surrenders chordal control to a growling bass. If this first track on Dear Science doesn't establish the band's ability to break boundaries and challenge categorization, nothing else will. Although many of the other songs do range from punk to funk, there's almost always a liberal mix of sonic play from the horns and synthesizers to keep things off-kilter and interesting.
More unique than the band's sound, however, are its lyrics. The very first line of the album quickly establishes the band's ability to play with language and imagery in a way that goes far beyond that of standard pop fare. "The lazy way they turned your head / Into a rest stop for the dead / And did it all in gold and blue and grey" isn't exactly Keats or Whitman, but it does deliver up a certain poetic sensibility. Even when inscrutable or downright dreadful (Cod liver dollar signs? Lonely little love dog / that no one knows the name of?), the lyrics seem somehow appropriate for a band flirting with the boarders of punk—a genre that strives to never take itself too seriously.
If "Crying" makes veiled references to the Iraq War, "Red Dress" is more overt in its criticism, particularly the enlistment of African Americans. It's not the war, however, but individuals who complacently accept new forms of slavery who become the primary targets in this song. TVOTR derides those who answer the crack of the whip and the call of "Hey Slave." They twist the beginning of James Brown's "say it loud, say it loud—I'm black and I'm proud" into "shout it loud, shout it lame," bitterly illuminating the hollowness of these words if those embracing them tamely accept modern forms of racial repression and inequality. Although "days of white robes have come and gone" could refer to the end of peaceful times, it also functions as a wake-up call that white supremacy still exists, regardless of the changes to its outer guise.
"Dancing Choose" is equally bitter, but it tackles the phoniness of American material culture and blatantly refers to those buying into it as mannequins and posed action figures who have traded their freedom and a sense of purpose for cash and glamour. True, many of the other songs on the album treat break-ups and love and loneliness, but even these tend to break the norm. "Lover's Day," for instance mixes more standard sultry fare with unforgettable lines like "I hunger for you like a cannibal" and "swear to God it'll get so hot it'll melt our faces off." With its playful wording, this song seems more like a parody of a love song than one to be taken seriously in its own right.
DGC/Interscope has also released a deluxe edition of Dear Sciene, which includes remixes of "Dancing Choose" and "Crying" plus "Make Long All Night Long" and "Heroic Dose" as additional bonus tracks. For the true music connoisseur, the album is also available on vinyl from various online retailers and comes with a free download of the entire album in mp3 format. It's hard to imagine that someone insisting on the sonic quality of vinyl would actually tolerate the lossey digital sound of an mp3. Perhaps this idea is aimed at investors who want to keep their LP shrink-wrapped and in mint condition, in which case the free download would allow them to have their disc and hear it too. Since the download coupon is located inside the shrink wrap, this doesn't exactly work out. In any case, the rich complexity and sculpted sound of Dear Science makes vinyl an attractive alternative as opposed to a mere novelty.
All and all, TV on the Radio has turned out a strong album. If the band members can maintain the level of quirkiness and creativity that went into this latest project, then their star is definitely on the rise.

Q: How does jQuery's FileUpload's Backload connect with UploadHandler? I got jQuery File Upload along with Backload up and running in Visual Studio, straight out of NuGet. The demo works just fine, I can upload files. I'm using the default configuration.
http://blueimp.github.io/jQuery-File-Upload/basic.html
https://github.com/blackcity/Backload
BackloadDemo/Index.cshtml has the following form:
<form id="fileupload"
      action="/Backload/UploadHandler"
      method="POST"
      enctype="multipart/form-data">

It works, but I can't figure out how it works. Where does /Backload/UploadHandler link to? I cannot find any reference of this 'UploadHandler'.

A: I was trying to figure the same thing out and I have found the answer.
If you check the Backload.dll you will see a namespace of Backload.Controllers with a class named BackloadController.
This is the controller that is picking up and handling the request. ASP.Net uses reflection to gather all classes that end with Controller and inherit from Controller. The reason you can't see this controller in the Controllers folder is because they are embedding the implementation inside the Backload.dll

A: From your second link:

Backload is a professional, full featured file upload controller and handler (server side) for ASP.NET

So the request to /Backload/UploadHandler either gets intercepted by a handler or picked up by a controller.
If your actual question is "How do I incorporate Backload in my project", then refer to their documentation or show relevant code and explain what you did, what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

How women and girls who survived Boko Haram have gone from one nightmare to another in Nigeria
July 12, 2018 July 10, 2018 / Lauren Aarons	/ Leave a comment
Women in Bama Hospital camp in north-east Nigeria, December 2015. (Gbemiga Olamikan)
While there has been international outrage following Boko Haram's abduction of women and girls in north-east Nigeria, there has been little awareness or condemnation of the abusive behaviour of the Nigerian armed forces – despite the fact that they have been committing war crimes and potential crimes against humanity against Boko Haram survivors.
This blog highlights some of our findings in a recently released Amnesty International report, "They betrayed us", as well as related developments since. The report documents how thousands of women and girls in north-east Nigeria who lived under Boko Haram's brutal rule have since been subjected to gendered forms of violence and abuse by those responsible for protecting them.
Attacked instead of protected
In 2014, Boko Haram took control of large swathes of north-east Nigeria. From early 2015, the Nigerian military intensified its operations against the armed group, and has since recaptured much of this area. The military then established so-called "satellite camps" for internally displaced people from areas that had been under Boko Haram control in the key towns they recaptured.
By mid-2016, over 200,000 people were living in these camps; many thousands more have arrived since. However, many of the IDPs had not chosen to come to the satellite camps at all. While some were fleeing Boko Haram, others had fled after the military indiscriminately attacked their rural communities, opening fire, burning down homes, and ordering everyone to leave. Some told us they were hoping to be rescued from Boko Haram when they were attacked by the military. Others told us that they had been taken to the camps by the security forces against their will.
The forced displacement across scores of villages do not appear to have been sufficiently targeted to be in line with any imperative military reasons and the violent nature in which they were conducted suggest they did not appear to be designed to ensure civilians' security. Instead, these acts appear to constitute a war crime.
Families separated
The military subjected everyone arriving in the satellite camps to a "security screening". Many (in some locations, almost all) men and boys perceived to be of "fighting age" were arbitrarily detained and taken away to military detention facilities where thousands remain. One result was that the satellite camps have been made up of disproportionate numbers of women and their dependents, with few civilian men.
Confined and left to die
In the satellite camps, women and their dependents have been denied information on their loved ones in detention and subject to severe movement restrictions.
From late 2015 until mid/late 2016, when humanitarian aid finally scaled up, thousands of people – mostly women and their dependents – died from lack of food, water and healthcare while confined in the camps. By confining people to camps in such conditions, those responsible may have committed the war crime of murder.
While the food security situation has improved in most of the satellite camps since mid-2016, there are still massive gaps in assistance provided, and women face gender-based discrimination accessing assistance and livelihood opportunities.
Members of the military and the allied militia have subjected women and girls in the satellite camps to sexual violence. Women who were near-starving were often forced to be the 'girlfriends' of the soldiers or militia members in order to access food. Even now, sexual exploitation continues to thrive in a context of impunity, near-confinement and deprivation.
The coercive circumstances that soldiers and militia members created and took advantage of negates any consent that may have apparently been given by women succumbing to be their 'girlfriends'. Those responsible thus committed the war crime of rape even where physical force was not used or threatened. In some cases, women who refused sex were also raped by security forces using physical force or threats.

Frontier League bans maple bats
By Kevin Reichard on October 30, 2008 in Independent Baseball, News
To the best of our knowledge he independent Frontier League has become the first pro baseball league to ban maple bats, a move approved unanimously by the league's Board of Directors at the recent winter meetings. The ban begins with the 2009 season.To the best of our knowledge he independent Frontier League has become the first pro baseball league to ban maple bats, a move approved unanimously by the league's Board of Directors at the recent winter meetings. The ban begins with the 2009 season.
"We have seen many incidents of maple bats breaking in a jagged fashion and becoming projectiles. We feel this could pose a risk to our players, on-field staffs, and fans," said Frontier League Commissioner Bill Lee. "Last season, there were bat ends that stuck in the ground like spears and we simply cannot put the people near the action in that kind of danger."
As part of the ban, all bats that are used will have to show their grain clearly so that the rule can be enforced by the League's umpires. Any player using a maple bat will be ejected immediately from the game. In addition, the League office will impose a fine against the player and the manager of the player's team.
The issue of maple bats is a contentious one, leading MLB to commission a study last summer on potential harm displayed by shattered bats.

Phnom Penh, Cambodia is a glorious city. Arriving can be difficult (the airport is a hazy, crowded experience where you'll need a passport photograph will need to fill out a flurry of entry forms) but aside from that, Cambodia's economic and political capital proved to be a very pleasant experience.
From the airport, if you have not arranged for a private driver, your likely method of transportation into the city will be via a tuk-tuk, the 4-person cabin affixed to the end of a motorbike for hire. They are plentiful outside of the airport gates and at around $10, are less expensive than the taxis that line the arrival terminal.
The route from the airport can be as quick as 30 minutes or as long as 2 hours depending on Phnom Penh's infamous traffic. If you do travel by tuk-tuk, be sure to have a mask to protect your lungs from the smog and hold fast to your valuables as traveling by tuk-tuk leaves you exposed to smash and grab robberies.
Arriving in Phnom Penh places you at the intersection of two main roads in the city, Norodom and Sihanouk Streets, both named after Cambodia's most prolific leader. Standing at the intersection is the Independence monument, a symbol of Cambodia's disentanglement from colonization. The structure is beautiful and indicative of the country's architectural style.
To the north, you'll find Wat Phnom, one of the historic jewels of the city. In terms of Cambodian temples, Wat Phnom is modest, but its serene location and $1 entrance fee will be a pleasant getaway in the otherwise noisy city of Phnom Penh.
A few miles away you can find the central market boasting everything from scarves to crab. The large goldenrod market has four expansive wings jutting out from a central dome. The market's presence can be overwhelming, but once you grab fried rice, prawns and chili sauce for $2, you'll start to feel right at home.
Up next was a visit to The Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, which details some of the atrocities that occurred in the 1970s during the Khmer Rouge. Housed on the campus of an old colonial high school, this institution was transformed into a complex of torture and ridicule, known as Security Prison 21 (S-21), for thousands of Cambodians and a few hundred foreigners through the latter 1970s. There are biographies and photos of those persecuted, and as you go from building to building, the grounds are quiet. Rusted bed frames, stained tile, decrepit cells and archived photos are features of the walkthrough. The tour wraps up with the tale of their liberation, the process of justice for those who were responsible, and a summary of the international response. In order to understand a dark part of Cambodian history, Tuol Sleng is a sobering lesson.
The National Museum of Cambodia's architecture is engaging and contains cherished vestiges of the past, many of which have been restored from the Khmer Rouge era. Take an hour or so to explore the Cambodia treasures and arrive early because the museum closes at 5 PM.
My final stop for sightseeing was to the Royal Palace. Much of it was closed off to the public during my visit, but the main attraction is the Silver Pagoda. This medium-sized pagoda is home to a life-sized Buddha, who adorns more than 9,000 diamonds.
Travel Tip: Be sure to look beneath the carpet in the Silver Pagoda!
Eat for a good cause at Romdeng, a restaurant that is a part of the Friends International group which gives vocational training to former street children in South East Asia. From crispy pork belly to fish amok (the national dish), you won't be disappointed in the fare offered on the menu.
If you're looking to dance the night away with local Cambodians and expats, Pontoon is the place to go. The drinks are reasonable and the music can have you calling the dance floor home for a few hours. Whether you want to have a private section and pop bottles or have a rail drink and dance to Chris Brown, it's all here.
You can have a great experience in Phnom Penh in 36 hours, but as with many great destinations, more time should be afforded if possible. The killing fields have been described as life-changing and the intricacies of the Royal Palace should certainly be explored. The itinerary above worked for me, but be sure to plan a trip that works best for you.

Timeline: Growing List of Major Cryptocurrency Heists
By Andrea Tan and Yuji Nakamura | February 1, 2018
The $500 million heist of digital tokens from Japanese exchange Coincheck Inc. on Friday is remarkable for its sheer size, but thefts in the lightly regulated world of cryptocurrencies are woefully frequent.
In less than a decade, hackers have stolen $1.2 billion worth of Bitcoin and Ether, two of the most popular digital currencies, according to Lex Sokolin, global director of fintech strategy at Autonomous Research LLP. If measured at today's elevated prices, the figure would be much higher.
Here's a look at some of the biggest thefts since 2012.
NiceHash, a crypto-mining marketplace based in Slovenia, said on its Facebook page that its payment system was compromised and as much as $63 million worth of Bitcoin was stolen. The firm added extra security measures and sought the community's help to analyze the breach. Youbit said it would file for bankruptcy hours after losing 17 percent of its assets in a cyber attack. The South Korean exchange had suffered what it called an "accident" in April and its owner encouraged clients to keep their tokens in a safer form. South Korean investigators are looking into North Korea's possible involvement in the hack.
A security hole in the Parity Wallet resulted in losses of about $155 million, including in Ether and other tokens. The company behind Tether said a "malicious" attacker stole $31 million worth of the cryptocurrency and sent them to an unauthorized Bitcoin address.
A group calling itself the White Hat Group exploited a bug in the Parity Wallet software and attempted to launder stolen Ether, valued at about $30 million according to Security Week, through exchanges. Just minutes after CoinDash's launch of an initial coin offering, hackers made off with as much as $6.6 million worth of Ether. The Israel-based firm terminated its token sale.
A Bithumb contract worker's personal computer that stored customers' data files was hacked, resulting in the leak of personal and trading information of more than 30,000 users. The South Korean crypto-exchange was fined 58.5 million won ($55,000) by the local regulator for the breach.
Bitfinex said hackers took 119,756 Bitcoin, valued at about $65 million. In April 2017, the exchange said it had repaid all customers.
Decentralized Autonomous Organization, a leaderless venture-capital fund and what was then the highest-profile project using Ethereum, was hacked. About $50 million of members' contributions to the fund were siphoned off.
Hong Kong-based Gatecoin had about $2 million in Bitcoin and Ether stolen following a cyber attack.
Two former U.S. federal agents who helped probe the illegal Silk Road Internet drug emporium were charged with wrongfully pocketing hundreds of thousands of dollars in Bitcoin.
Bitstamp's chief executive officer reassured customers that the bulk of their Bitcoins were safe after $5 million the coins were stolen, according to a Fortune report.
Mt. Gox, once the world's biggest Bitcoin exchange, reported that tokens valued at about $480 million had gone missing. The firm filed for bankruptcy in Japan and the U.S., and said the disappearance was probably the result of a "massive theft."
BitFloor, based in New York, lost about $250,000 in Bitcoin after it was hacked. Months later in April 2013, the exchange announced it would shut and refund customer deposits, Bitcoin Magazine reported.

Gat Decor (or Gat Décor) were an English electronic music group popular with the 1992 song "Passion". The song is considered to be one of the best-known works of the early progressive house genre.
The main contributors of the team are the British DJ's and producers, Simon Slater, Laurence Nelson-Boudville and Simon Hanson. The name 'Gat Decor' was derived from an anagram of 'Tag Records', a record store based in Soho, London.
Although Gat Decor does not have an extensive catalog (two proper singles and a handful of remixes), the act and "Passion" are widely considered influential to dance music in the early 1990s; and Slater still continues to license "Passion".


This Jeep Wrangler was picked up from a private residence. The customer told us that he will not be present at the time of pick up, so we picked it up from his parents home. The driver called them the day before he picked up the vehicle in order to make sure that they will be home. After they arranged a good time for both sides, the vehicle was safely picked up in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Due to the size of the vehicle, our driver had to place it right behind the tractor on the first spot at the top. As you can see in the picture, the Jeep is safely placed on the first spot at the top. After five days of transit time, our driver was able to safely deliver the vehicle in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

A Chat with Kabaso Nkanda
Feb 24, 2021 - 21:17 Updated: Mar 11, 2021 - 21:49
Kabaso Nkandu is an international Zambian based fashion designer from the brand house called Nkanda Yatu with the trace of shows in Botswana and South Africa at fashion without boarders and Namibia at Windhoek Fashion Week. He is an environmentalist by profession with a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Studies from the Mulungushi University. Born and raised in Mwansabombwe district in Luapula Province, from a family of ten.
Nkanda Yatu comes from a strong identity, our brand name is what guides our work. With Nkanda Yatu we wanted to have a name that our customers could connect with. And this name was just prefect because each day people do what it takes to take care of their skin.
His fashion brand Nkanda yatu founded in 2016 means "Our Skin", just like our skin is used as an identity of who we are as Africans which caters for both male and female. The name gives them their identity and always reminds them of their cultural background. The first showcasing of the brand was at Zambia Fashion Week through a competition ran by Vodafone.
Kabaso Nkandu (Zambian Fashion Designer
When did you first realize you wanted to pursue a career as a designer?
My interest in fashion had begun to grow when I finished High school. In fact, I had even started working towards starting something. However, I was admitted into university and had to choose whether I should go to University or stay and follow my passion. "However, I had to choose school, because I still wasn't sure if this was really my thing. But everything started to unfold while I was in university, my passion and interest for fashion just grew
What was your first job out of college, and how did you land that position?
I worked as an environmental education officer, while I was in university, I did a number of internship programs, which allowed me to get a job through the Youth Environment Organization in partnership with Malawi.
What was the biggest rookie mistake you made when just starting out?
I did not have any formal fashion education but only had the knowledge I gained from reading books and watching YouTube videos.
How is working in fashion different today than from when you started out?
Its very different because I get to put out my passion through being creative and innovative.
What role do you think social media plays in fashion today?
Social Media is really playing a vital role in promoting creatives to be honest and also helping the brand grow. Social Media is a very powerful tool for a lot of creatives if you know and understand how to use it including your target market
What was your biggest fear when going out and starting your own line?
Fear of failing to make it, because I was starting this career without any fashion education. The only thing I had was my passion and faith in myself and the little knowledge from you YouTube and books.
What is your favourite part about being a designer?
I get to tell a story about who I am as a designer, because it helps me put out my personality, culture and character into my work.
How do you want men/women to feel when wearing your clothes?
I want them to look or feel like money. Do you understand that feeling you get when you have money? That's the feeling I always want my customers to feel. Its actually our hashtag #drippingmoney
There's so much pressure for designers to come out with their greatest collection season after season. What advice would you give to young designers just starting out and hoping to make it in the industry?
Brand identification and position is very important for every start up, so that you can understand what kind of brand you want to build and which direction you want to take as a designer. And always be intentional and strategic on how you want the brand to be.
Who have been your biggest mentors in this industry and what is the best advice they have ever given you?
My biggest mentors are Chishimba Nyambe and MMondeNyambe. They have always spoken the honest truth about the importance of branding, operating independently, owning your own ideas, being a self-sufficient brand and bringing uniqueness to your clients.
If you could go back and tell yourself one thing before beginning your career, what would it be?
Always believe in GOD and yourself.
Where do you go for inspiration when working on a new design?
Our ideas are mostly from the daily surrounding we live in, the current changes in style in the fashion world and our cultural background including nature which also inspires us.
What is one thing you look for when interviewing a potential candidate for your company?
Confidence!
Kabaso is busy crossing borders with his fashion brand Nkandu Yatu and will soon become a house hold name in Africa.
You can get social with him on on the following social media.

New Executive Director at Artemis Center
November 9, 2016 By Lisa Grigsby
Artemis Center, a domestic violence resource agency serving the Miami Valley since 1985, has announced the selection of Jane Keiffer, MSW, LISW-S as its new Executive Director. Jane will fill the vacancy created by Judy Strnad's departure in July. The decision was made after an internal selection process, during which Jane served as Interim Executive Director for the organization.
"We are very pleased to announce this appointment," reported Joanie Haverstick, MPA, and Artemis Center Board Chair. "Jane has served the agency for more than 20 years, and will bring leadership and an extensive knowledge of domestic violence to Artemis Center's programs along with a deep sense of commitment to our mission. She has served Artemis at program and leadership levels, and has a breadth of perspective and experience."
An experienced Social Worker, Jane has a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from the University of Kentucky and is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Supervision Designation (LISW-S) in the state of Ohio, with her Undergraduate Degree in Psychology from the University of Toledo. Her experience includes working as the Clinical Director with Artemis Center for the past 9 years, serving as a domestic violence expert witness, and participating on several committees in the community, advancing best practices for working with victims of domestic violence. Jane has also provided numerous trainings which include police officers, prosecutors, victim advocates, and many other professionals on intimate partner violence.
"I look forward to continuing this journey to help domestic violence survivors and their children find safety and working with community partners in this new capacity," remarks Keiffer. "I am dedicated to Artemis Center because I see the important work our passionate and dedicated staff provide to survivors in our community and I believe we are an important resource not only to survivors but to our community as a whole."
Artemis Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has been providing vital supportive services to victims of domestic violence and their children for over 30 years, serving more than 95,000 victims/survivors in Montgomery and surrounding Counties.
HOTLINE 937-222-7233| www.artemiscenter.org
Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women – more than auto accidents, rape, and muggings combined. National studies found about one in four women will be a victim of domestic violence. Without Artemis Center services individuals in the community will not have access to advocate support to create personalized safety plans, navigate the court system, referrals to community services, and individual and peer support. Artemis specializes in providing services beyond the traditional housing and safety offered by domestic violence shelters. It was the experience of Artemis founders that victims fleeing domestic violence, in addition to needing a safe place, also need help understanding their rights, guidance through the often confusing and sometimes intimidating legal system.

Wealth of experience
How are attitudes to wealth changing in an increasingly globalised and digitally democratic world? Do attitudes to wealth differ across cultures and generations?
https://www.unlimited.world/ubs/wealth-of-experience
This is an interesting article about the attitudes of millennials in various countries (not including Canada). For those of us interested in promoting entrepreneurism, this conclusion is especially interesting:
"Most remarkable, however, is the extent to which young people today aspire to take control of their working lives by running their own businesses. Almost three quarters (71%) consider themselves 'likely' to start their own company and a further 9% have already done so. Brought up in the information age, these 18-34 year old are confident in their abilities to move beyond the confines of a safe office job and into an entrepreneurial future which is less certain but charged with greater potential."
"As part of UBS ongoing exploration of the changing attitudes to wealth, we investigated the views of more than 2,000 top-earning millennials across the world. We asked them about their aspirations and attitudes to working and how they view wealth, including:
What does it mean to be 'wealthy' today?
What aspects of wealth do different cultures prioritise?
Millennials from which countries are most and least confident about being wealthy?
What do changing aspirations and attitudes to wealth mean for the future of the working world and the businesses of tomorrow?
This research uncovers a new type of global citizen. Their place as part of an emerging millennial generation defines their worldview and aspirations. But not all economies are poised to deliver the conditions they need to succeed. Ultimately, the desire of the workforce is evolving fast and businesses must reshape their offering to stay in the game and satisfy the ambitions of this new generation.
Wealth aspirations are changing globally: regardless of where they are from in the world, top-earning millennials now have very similar aspirations. Experiences, not possessions, are the new focus.
The highest levels of confidence are seen amongst millennials in the emerging markets, contrasting with apprehension in the more established markets: new economies emerge as better equipped to deliver in a new, more flexible future whilst established economies seem to be losing momentum.
The millennial work consensus – predictable paths give way to uncharted territories: young people across the world have an appetite for a new and different way of working, rejecting permanent contracts with employers in favour of starting their own businesses."

Can the term "shabby chic" be defined?
Shabby Chic, cottage and French/Nordic styles are decorating trends that continue to be strong among numerous age groups. They evolved from the large English country houses with their worn and faded old chintz sofas and curtains, old paintwork and a sense of unassuming "good" taste. The term was coined by TheWorld of Interiors magazine in the 1980's and became part of the Rachel Ashwell genre.
Defining "Shabby Chic" is as varied as our customers are: however, it tends to imply semi-sophisticated, warm, weathered, and comfortable. Recycling and up-scaling old furniture and fabrics is an important aspect of the look. Furniture and accessories are either chosen for their appearance of age and signs of wear or newer items are distressed to achieve the appearance of age and use. Less is more, natural comfort, and purity all add to the style. Antique pieces such as bead board cupboards, metal racks and containers, chippie white accents, all contribute to the ambiance. Old cotton ticking, burlap and linen are just a small sample of the preferred textile accents. Furniture surfaces that show wear combine well with pieces of antique pottery, glass and silver hollow ware. If a piece of old furniture does not quite fit, a fresh look can come from white paint and a little distressing. Shabby chic extends to the garden with the same principles of using timeworn iron and wicker garden furniture and accessories.
Antique malls and flea markets are a never-ending source for all the elements needed to provide a serene, classic yet elegant shabby chic home.


Hailing from the same northern England city as The Beatles themselves, the band The Mersey Beatles are feeling like it's 1964.
"America's a place all musicians want to come," said bassist Steven Howard, noting it was his first time on the East Coast. The remark was reminiscent of things the wide-eyed, 20-something Beatles were saying when they first arrived in the U.S.
"Keeping their feet on the ground must've been incredibly difficult," he said, imagining the Fab Four witnessing the swooning mania caused by their presence, across a nation much, much larger than their own.
Covering "She Loves You" through "Let It Be" chronologically, Howard described their show as a two-hour "Beatles mixtape live," with a multimedia backdrop featuring song lyrics and inspirations for the songs.
She will be signing copies of her book "Imagine This: Growing Up with My Brother John Lennon" at the merchandise table before, during and after the show. A special pre-show meet-and-greet for the concert's VIP ticketholders starts at 6 p.m.
What: The Mersey Beatles with special guest Julia Baird.
When: 8 p.m. May 12.
Where: Sellersville Theater 1894, 24 W. Temple Ave. and Main Street, Sellersville.
Tickets: $29.50 and $45. Pre-show meet-and-greet with Julia Baird available; call the box office.
Info.: (215) 257-5808 or www.st94.com.
"John famously said his happiest times were on the Cavern stage," Baird said.
Back in the '80s, Baird teamed up with Geoffrey Giuliano to write "John Lennon, My Brother: Memories of Growing Up Together" to clear up things written about her famous brother that she felt were grossly inaccurate. "After 1980 (the year Lennon was murdered), the story (of Lennon's life) went all out of kilter … I had to do something," she said.
Yet the author, teacher and philanthropist still had some burning, unanswered questions. "I knew I had the jigsaw pieces, but I couldn't put it together," she said.
Expanding on what she initially wrote, Baird's "Imagine This" first published in 2006.
So what misconceptions about Lennon needed correction?
"John's occasional flippancy was a big cover. He was truly an absolute softie inside," Baird said, adding that the proof is in the lyrics he wrote.
"We were all very proud of his accomplishments," she said, noting that Lennon was close with his oldest cousin, Stanley Parkes.
Julia Baird first met The Mersey Beatles in Australia in 2004. They were both traveling as part of the "Team Liverpool" tourism promotion ambassadors.
"Liverpool today is the best city on the planet," she proclaimed, adding that it was an agonizingly slow process for the former European shipping hub city to become "restored and regenerated," after being a bull's eye for the Nazi blitzkriegs during World War II.
In 2008, Liverpool was designated by the European Union as that year's European Capital of Culture, where a city is singled out to host special cultural events with a strong connection to the rest of the European continent. Baird said that the Capital of Culture city reaps "megabucks" economic benefits as a result, leading to urban revitalization.
Baird still remembers all the music groups Lennon formed in his teens, that rehearsed in the kitchen — The Quarrymen, The Blackjacks, Johnny and the Moondogs … But things kicked into another gear when her brother befriended Paul McCartney in 1957.
"He was always very nice to me. I've known him ever since he was 15," Baird said of McCartney. They recently re-connected at one of McCartney's concerts in Detroit. Read more about that at Baird's website, www.juliabaird.eu.
When asked if anything else would come along to culturally influence the world the way The Beatles did in the '60s, Howard — who was born in 1972, after the Beatles broke up — said no.
a really good analogy, between Detroit and Liverpool uk. both cities have experienced devastation in their economy's. Liverpool not only via being bombed to a pulp in ww2. but also later in the eighties, by a government who devastated manufacturing and washed their hands of a city that had backbone, a proud city who's people would always oppose injustice, of course the Beatles would also have experienced the aftermath of ww2, the struggles and rebuilding of a proud city who's people would not be cowered, us teenagers of the sixties had seen our parents sweat blood to give us a better life, we grabbed their hope and the sacrifices they made for us with both hands, we had found a freedom, born out of adversity, and the greatest social revolution was born, the Beatles at the forefront of the "Mersey "sound" somehow set us free, some people at the top of government I feel, were not happy with our emancipation, but we left them in our wake. love was all we would need, the Beatles provided the vehicle, we proudly jumped aboard, when the next attempt to "put us in our place" the 80s. we had the benefit of previous times/experiences, we stood as one, our city now stands as a beacon, to those who will strive for a better way, and guess who was there at the beginning and still the greatest influence to young and old everywhere? yes, "the Beatles" so I would say to great cities like Detroit and others, don't lie down, no violence needed, "love is all you need" love for your great city, if you love your city and have the will to work together, for a better future, you can overcome the obstacle's, look for that inspiration, we found it in the "Mersey sound" what is yours?

Matt Taibbi's Not-So-Secret Russian Past
Eliot Borenstein, Contributor
Professor of Russian & Slavic Studies at New York University
Oct 30, 2017, 09:37 AM EDT | Updated Nov 10, 2017
The only thing gratifying about this weekend's uproar over Matt Taibbi's Moscow days is that Russia watchers were 20 years ahead of this particular news cycle. Apparently, scandal is a renewable resource.
On October 27, Aimee Levitt published a piece in The Chicago Reader with the apt title "Twenty years ago, in Moscow, Matt Taibbi was a misogynist asshole—and possible worse." Taibbi and Mark Ames were co-editors of the the English language gonzo, semi-satirical, semi-muckraking expat newspaper the eXile, where they engaged in sophomoric pranks, non-stop partying, and, if their own words are to believed, constant sexual harassment.
This was a story that was hiding in plain sight, or at least, in the used book section of Amazon, since Taibbi and Ames told their tale in their 2000 book The eXile: Sex, Drugs, and Libel in the New Russia. Say what you will, but Ames and Taibbi cannot be faulted for false advertising: the book chronicles their drug-fueled adventures (cocaine and speed for Ames, heroin for Taibbi) as they basically trolled the Russian government, the Moscow expat community, and especially Russian-based foreign correspondents.
Send forth the worst ye breed
While living in Moscow in the late 1990s, I read the eXile frequently, though I reassured myself that I wasn't really part of the target audience. Russian-speaking academics did not think of themselves as "expats," and I steered clear of a community that made me embarrassed to be an American: opportunistic, egomaniacal young men who looked at Moscow as a place to get rich while—how should I put this delicately?—dating out of their league. Their behavior was a perfect illustration of the anxieties I found in contemporary Russian culture: the fear that all of Russia's natural resources, from oil to minerals to "the most beautiful women in the world," were being plundered by a rapacious West.
The eXile cultivated the gonzo sensibility of its founders' hero, Hunter S. Thompson, but filtered through an ethos that was thoroughly fratboy. Its strange combination of incisive political commentary, laugh-out-loud satire, and vile misogyny made me reluctant to admit that I read it. It gave me a feeling I identify with my teenage years, back when I used to visit a store that carried science fiction, comic books, and porn: one-stop shopping for shame.
Ames and Taibbi were vicious about the pieties of English-languge journalism, holding an annual competition for the worst article of the year (poor Helen Womack was a frequent winner). But their best work targeted the sensationalistic, crime-besotted post-Soviet media. They had a regular overview of Russian crime reporting called "Death Porn," with a set of symbols providing an easy shorthand to the most common tropes: a waffle for "riddled with bullets," a screaming woman for "cries for help ignored," and a butterball for "carved up like a turkey." "Death Porn" helped me clarify my own thinking on post-Soviet discursive violence when I was writing my own book, Overkill.
Assholes Abroad
Though Levitt's Chicago Reader article contained nothing I didn't know, I will be forever grateful to her for introducing the word "asshole" into the Taibbi conversation, so that I don't have to be the first.
"Asshole" is not just a slur; in the hands of philosopher Aaron James, author of Assholes: A Theory (2012) and its timely follow-up Assholes: A Theory of Donald Trump (2016), it is a term of art.
According to James, an asshole:
(1) allows himself to enjoy special advantages and does so systematically; (2) does this out of an entrenched sense of entitlement; and (3) is immunized by his sense of entitlement against the complaints of other people.
James probably never read the eXile, but he nonetheless describes the persona cultivated by both Ames and Taibbi during their eXile days. Like the clueless expats they loathed, the editors treated Moscow and its residents as their playground.
Taibbi's defense of his co-authored non-fiction book about the newspaper is that the stories it contained were, in fact, fiction. From a legal or ethical point of view, this distinction is crucial. But if we think of it in terms of James's asshole framework, it is less relevant. It is entirely possible that Taibbi's and Ames's stories of demanding blowjobs from female staffers are fratboy braggadocio. In fact, I hope they are. But the fact remains that this was an image they wanted to cultivate. Tabbi wasn't just an asshole; he was an asshole wannabe.
The Weinstein Effect
When it comes to Taibbi, Russianists have been experiencing a slow-motion shock of an entirely different kind: the gradual discovery over the past decade that Taibbi has somehow matured into one of the most acerbic and valuable commenters on the American political scene. How can this be the same man?
Even beyond our tiny community, this is old news. Tabbi's thirtysomething misogyny and assholish demeanor are a matter of public record. Even the Chicago Reader covered some of this ground in a review of the eXile book in 2000 ), while James Verini's 2010 Vanity Fair profile of Taibbi even includes Taibbi's lobbing of hot coffee at the article's author.
So why are we talking about this now? Obviously, the revelations about Harvey Weinstein and the "me, too" campaign have opened the floodgates. In that respect, the release of Taibbi's latest book could not be timed worse. Nor should we ignore the glee with which the rightwing media has taken up this story, in the hope of discrediting one of the most compelling anti-Trump voices in American print media.
But Taibbi has only himself to blame (and not just because his permanent smirk gives him one of the most punchable faces in contemporary journalism). He has tried to foist the responsibility onto his equally unsavory co-author/frenemy, Mark Ames, but, in the end, it doesn't matter who wrote the words. What matters is who was only too happy to claim credit for them. Who was perfectly comfortable putting his name on the masthead of a paper whose nightclub reviews ranked venues according to the "rapability" of the "devs" (girls).
Taibbi's apology is a beginning, but it does not go far enough:
While the events described are not a biographical reality, this is not to say I don't have regrets about the eXile, which was conceived as a giant satire, whose purpose was to be an ongoing embarrassment to the expatriates who came to Russia to spread the American way. In my younger mind this sounded like a good idea, a cross of Andrew Dice Clay, The Ugly American and Charlie Hebdo. But in practice it was often stupid, cruel, gratuitous, and mean-spirited. I regret many editorial decisions that I made back then, and putting my name as a co-author on a book that used cruel and misogynistic language to describe many people and women in particular. I hope readers can forgive my poor judgment at that time.
Taibbi wants to preserve a hygienic distance from the worst of the eXile, but this simply doesn't jibe with some of the pieces published under his own byline. Look no further than this 1999 screed about ugly Western feminists' jealousy of hot Russian women. Entitled "Of hacks and whores," Taibbi's takedown of a Western female journalist says her article "oozed such obvious bitterness and desperation that it might as well have been a perpetually unanswered personal ad in the back of Sagging Breast Weekly." He continues:
The fact is, Russian women–with their tight skirts, blowjob-ready lips, and swinging, meaty chests–scare the hell out of Western women. They know that if large numbers of them were ever to invade the placid, polite, lesbian-literature-and-designer-coffee dating scene of their home countries, they'd be priced right out of the market.
The most persuasive line in this particular article is also its first, but only when it is read as inadvertent self-criticism:
You know how suicide attempts, particularly the botched ones, are sometimes called "cries for help"? Well, the same holds true for news articles. Sometimes, a reporter's intention isn't really to convey the news. Instead, he's sending out a personal distress call […]
Taibbi did not realize it, but he was tearing down his own career even as he built it. This may have been a cry for help, but, like the proverbial cries for help in the eXile's "Death Porn" section, was ignored. In this case, by its own author.
Nearly 20 years later, I am choosing to hear that cry. So allow me to propose the apology he should have made (and still can):
Yes, I was a real asshole in my twenties and thirties. I was an adult, and old enough to know better. I am not claiming that "things were different back in my day." The eXile: Sex, Drugs, and Libel in the New Russia was published in the same year that Gloria Steinem turned 68; everything people are complaining about now was reprehensible then. In my writing, I treated women as commodities who should only be too happy to be exploited by men like me. The overall tone of the book is accurate, but some of the worst parts are exaggeration for effect; that is, I actively chose to make myself look like even more of an asshole than I was. I was also strung out on heroin all those years, though that does not excuse me. I deeply regret how I behaved, and have tried to be a better person since then, particularly in my interactions with women.
As a dedicated reader of Taibbi's recent work, I hope this is all true. But perhaps, inadvertently, Taibbi has done us (though not his former subordinates) a favor by confronting us with such a complicated case. Weinstein's story is straightforward — really, he is an ugly caricature of male harassment, but one that turns out to be real. But with Taibbi, where there aren't (yet) specific women accusing him of specific acts, and where there isn't (yet) anything recent, if someone in his position were to be truly contrite, condemn his behavior, say he's changed, and then endeavor to prove that he has, what is the proper response?
I intend to go on reading Taibbi for years to come. I just wish I could find a way to do it without feeling complicit in his hypocrisy.

24 Hours Later: Zenith's Chronomaster A384 Revival Lupin The Third – Final Edition
The final entry in a trilogy of timepieces based on a Japanese manga series about the world's greatest thief has stolen our hearts.
Watch addicts always get a little jolt of joy when they spot a recognizable timepiece in a movie or tv show. Of course, manga-loving horophiles were extra excited when one of the most iconic chronographs ever – the Zenith El Primero A384 – made a cameo appearance in the anime series Lupin the Third.
Zenith Chronomaster A384 Revival Lupin The Third – 1st Edition
A Three Chapter Story
Zenith also noticed this Easter egg and, in 2019, introduced the limited edition Chronomaster A384 Revival Lupin The Third based on the original A384 but with a black and grey design that only existed in the Lupin universe.
Just a year later, in 2020, Zenith added another rich detail to this universe when it created a sequel called the Chronomaster A384 Revival Lupin The Third - 2nd Edition. The watch was still based on the first El Primero chronograph from 1969, but this version featured a white lacquered dial with contrasting black counters.
Zenith Chronomaster A384 Revival Lupin The Third – 2nd Edition
And finally, a little over 24 hours ago, Zenith launched the last of its collectible manga tributes: the Chronomaster A384 Revival Lupin The Third – Final Edition. For this third and final chapter of the collaboration, its creators combined the two antipode dial colors of the first and second Lupin The Third editions into one distinctive graphic face.
Une publication partagée par Romain Marietta (@romain.marietta)
If you're not familiar with Lupin the Third: Basically, it's a series of books written and illustrated by the late Kazuhiko Katō, a.k.a. Monkey Punch.
The story centers around the adventures of the debonair master thief Arsène Lupin III, grandson of gentleman thief Arsène Lupin (the protagonist of Maurice Leblanc's series of novels from the first half of the 20th century). The manga by Monkey Punch, which first ran from 1967-1969, was then turned into an animated series.

However, you don't have to know anything about the Lupinverse to appreciate the Chronomaster A384 Revival Lupin The Third – Final Edition. The diagonal dissection of the dial, for instance, is not just innovative for Zenith (it's the first of its kind for the brand) but for chronographs of any stripe.
Plus, on the left, the watch features a semi-glossy black finish with grey counters and golden markers and hands from the first edition. In turn, this is juxtaposed with the cream-colored dial with contrasting black counters in a "panda" configuration from the second edition.
Zenith Chronomaster A384 Revival Lupin The Third – Final Edition
So it's not surprising that 24 hours after first seeing this dual dial, our minds are still blown by the aesthetics. We're still puzzling over how hard it must have been for Zenith's artisans to adjust all the contrasting colors and materials on this display to make every detail match seamlessly.
Unlike other high-end character watches, like the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Black Panther Flying Tourbillon or the S.U.F. Sarpaneva x Moomin, the Zenith Chronomaster A384 Revival Lupin The Third – Final Edition is not very cartoony. But that isn't to say fans won't be delighted by the subtle engraving of Lupin III's sidekick and best friend Daisuke Jigen on the sapphire caseback.
Finally, all of this detail is housed in a 37mm titanium case – the same proportions as the original 1969 A384 – and inside beats the legendary El Primero 400 automatic integrated chronograph movement.
Limited to 250 pieces, the Zenith Chronomaster A384 Revival Lupin The Third – Final Edition will retail for $10,000. It is available for pre-order now on the Zenith online boutique.
