Capitalism Instigated by the Devil
The writer below asks the question: "Should the South become a replica of the industrialized North, with all the advantages and disadvantages that go with that way of life? Or does the South have something essential and unique which is worth preserving? Does Birmingham want to be another Pittsburgh, Richmond another Chicago, Raleigh another Newark, or Charleston another Detroit?" Calhoun biographer Margaret Coit pondered "Whether the South of today [1950], in the throes of warborn prosperity, will sacrifice the remaining values of its way of life by accepting the industrial democracy against which Calhoun fought . . ?"
Bernhard Thuersam, www.Circa1865.org The Great American Political Divide
"The not quite immoveable object is, of course, the Southern way of life. It arises more from instinct than philosophy; back of it are the ancient traits and ingrained habits of a people who are notoriously set in their ways.
Suspicion of the Calvinistic-Puritanical-Yankee notion of "work for work's sake" is one of those traits. A Calhounistic "wise and masterly inactivity" is more to the Southern taste as a general rule. When Southerners read the tributes of Northern poets to work, such as James Russell Lowell's "and blessed are the horny hands of toil," they doubt whether either writer had enough callouses on his hands to know what he was talking about.
Such pep talk makes Southerners tired; they have to go somewhere and lie down to digest it. One reason the South loves cotton farming so much is that it gives them about six months of each year to loaf and invite their souls. If the soul refuses the invitation, they just loaf.
The South has had a long and deep-seated suspicion of industrialization. It wants the fruits of industry, but not the tree. This attitude goes back to Thomas Jefferson, if not further. Southerners have always been convinced that the planter is the nobler work of God than the manufacturer, the farmer than the mill hand. While the Southerner may not remember the exact words which Jefferson used in the Notes on Virginia in 1785, the sentiment is bred in his bone:
"Those who labor the earth are the chosen people of God . . . while we have land to labor then, let us never wish to see our citizens occupied at a work-bench or twirling a distaff. Carpenters, masons, smiths are wanting in husbandry, but, for the general operation of manufacture, let our workshops remain in Europe . . . The mobs of great cities add just so much to the support of pure government as sores do to the strength of the human body."
In the 1850s Southerners talked about the evils of capitalism with its "wage slaves" as bitterly as if they had been Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, though to be sure it was not the capitalism of the Southern planter, but the capitalism of the Northern manufacturer to which they objected.
This is the South which not only likes the Negro "in his place" but likes every man in his place and thinks there is a certain place providentially provided for him. To this South, industrialism, with its shift from status to contract and its creation of a new-rich, rootless and pushing class of people, is plainly instigated by the devil."

Early Militia in British America
For most of the eighteenth century, New York was second only to Charleston in slave population. By 1737, one if five New Yorkers were black; "between 1700 and 1774, the British imported between 6800 and 7400 Africans to the colony of New York. It was cheaper for New York slave traders to import directly from Africa . . ." (Slavery in New York, Berlin/Harris, pg. 61).
Slave insurrection was a constant menace as the British continued to import forced labor to work the colony. In late March 1712, New York and Westchester militia swept the Manhattan woods in search of 40 or 50 black men and women who had killed nine white people and wounded six more in an insurrection. "More than seventy enslaved men and women were eventually taken into custody, and forty-three were brought to trial by jury. Twenty-five were convicted, of whom twenty were hanged and three burned at the stake, one roasted in slow torment for eight hours" (pg. 78).
"New England towns were more scattered than Chesapeake farms, but each town had the capacity for armed resistance that was lacking in an individual plantation. A town could bear the burden of a military draft and still hope to maintain itself from attack, while the loss of a man or two from a single, remote household often meant choosing between abandonment and destruction.
New England promised its soldiers plunder in the form of scalp bounties, profits from the sale of Indian slaves, and postwar land grants . . . But there remains an important difference: the clustering of manpower and the cohesive atmosphere in the town community gave New England greater military strength.
By the end of the seventeenth century, the principal threat to the British colonies was changing. Europeans – French and Spanish – became the main danger. Virginia found itself so little troubled by the new threat, and her Indian enemies so weak, that militia virtually ceased to exist there for about half a century, a time when a handful of semi-professional rangers could watch the frontier.
During the same period, the frontier of Massachusetts was under sporadic attack by French-supported Indians. [Carolina] occupied the post of danger against Spain. The Carolina militia came from the country to repulse a Spanish attack on Charleston in 1706, and it rallied – with some help from North Carolina and Virginia – to save the colony during the Yamassee War in 1715 . . . [when] four hundred Negroes helped six hundred white men defeat the Indians.
But as the ratio of slaves to whites rapidly increased, and especially after a serious slave insurrection in 1739, Carolinians no longer dared arm Negroes; in fact, they hardly dared leave their plantations in time of emergency.
The British government tried to fill the gap, first by organizing Georgia as an all-white military buffer, then by sending a regiment of regulars with Oglethorpe in 1740. But increasingly, the South Carolina militia became an agency to control the slaves, and less an effective means of defense."
(A People Numerous & Armed: Reflections on the Military Struggle for American Independence, John Shy, University of Michigan Press, 1990, excerpts pp. 34-37)
Perpetuating Slavery on Mauritius
The Dutch, French and British established state-sanctioned organizations to purchase and carry already-enslaved Africans to work their colonies. In the British American colonies and after 1789, New England was the unofficial seat of the transatlantic slave trade and profited greatly to the extent that the region's economic prosperity was built upon that trade.
When the Mauritius planters saw the British end the slave traffic in 1834, they began importing coolies from Ceylon and India to replace the Africans.
"Mauritius was discovered by the Portuguese in 1505 and continued in their possession until 1598, when it was ceded to the Dutch, who gave it the name by which it is now known. The Dutch finally abandoned it in 1710 when the island was taken over by the French.
Under the French, the island was considerably developed, especially during the second half of the eighteenth century, and this new step, as the majority saw it, necessitated the introduction of [African] slavery. During the Napoleonic Wars, Mauritius was captured by England and was formally ceded by France in 1814.
The significance of the Negroes in Mauritius, however, dates from the year 1723 when the East India Company of France, in order to promote agriculture in the Island, sanctioned the introduction of slaves, whom they sold to the inhabitants at a certain fixed price.
The slave trade, at this period, was principally in the hands of those pirates who had formed a settlement at Nossibe (Nosse Ibrahim) on the northeast coast of Madagascar . . . they excited a war between the tribes of the interior and those inhabiting the seacoast, and purchased the prisoners made by both for the purpose of conveying them for sale to Bourbon or Mauritius.
If the prisoners thus obtained proved insufficient to the demands of the slave market, a descent was made on some part of the Island, a village was surrounded, and its younger and more vigorous inhabitants were borne off to a state of perpetual slavery.
[Of] every five Negroes embarked at Madagascar, not more than two were found fit for service in Mauritius. The rest either stifled beneath the hatches, starved themselves to death, died of putrid fever, became the food of sharks, fled to the mountains, or fell beneath the driver's lash.
[Mauritius Colonial Governor] Mahe de Labourdounais was not the founder of slavery. The institution preceded his arrival. Slavery existed in Mauritius even under the Dutch regime. From first to last Mauritius has been the tomb of more than a million of Africans. Many became fugitives . . . in order to check the fugitive slaves, Labourdounais employed their countrymen against them, and formed a mounted police who protected the colonists from their incursions.
The first attempt to emancipate the slaves was made by the leaders of the French Revolution, who, while they professed to discard Christianity as a revelation from God, deduced the equality of all men before God from the principle of natural reason.
The prohibition of slavery was rendered null and void by the planters of Mauritius and the members of the local government, all of whom were slaveholders and opposed any change."
(The Negroes in Mauritius, A.F. Fokeer, Journal of Negro History, April 1922, Volume VII, No. 2, excerpts pp. 197-201)
Law and Order Breaking Down in Chicago as Mob Forces Cop To Free Suspect
In the 1997 movie "L.A. Confidential," one character said of a police sergeant who was enduring a grueling situation: "I wouldn't trade places with (him) right now for all the whiskey in Ireland."
It's easy to echo that sentiment in regard to Chicago police officers.
As if the city's maddening number of homicides isn't enough of a burden, actor Jussie Smollett — on whom Chicago law enforcement had wasted considerable resources and countless hours — was inexplicably cleared of all charges in an apparent hate-crime hoax.
And now, we've come to discover, it seems Chicago police can't even arrest a drug suspect without being harassed or threatened by a menacing crowd.

Dear Friends in Stockholm, Turku, and around the world,
I am sorry to have to tell you that I cannot attend the Scandza Forum in Stockholm or the Awakening Conference in Turku, Finland, where I had been invited to give talks. Today, when I landed in Zurich for a connecting flight to Stockholm, Swiss border authorities told me I have been banned from Europe until 2021. I will spend the night at the airport, and tomorrow I will be deported.
The officer at passport control in Zurich airport had already stamped my passport and waved me through to my Stockholm flight when she called after me to come back. She stared at her computer screen and told me I had to wait. She didn't say why. In a few minutes, a policeman arrived and told me there was an order from Poland that barred me from all 26 countries in the Schengen Zone.

National Catholic Reporter Demands US Bishops Be Explicitly Anti-White

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops recently released yet another condemnation of the sin of "racism." As is always the case this condemnation was not good enough for the radical left, something which "anti-racist" conservatives never seem to expect.
Writing in the National Catholic Reporter (which bills itself as "the only significant alternative Catholic voice that provides avenues for expression of diverse perspectives"), Daniel P. Horan, a Franciscan Friar and professor at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, gives the "woke" take on the recent statement: it is not anti-white enough.

Fed Judge: California's 'High-Capacity' Magazine Ban Unconstitutional
Via The Daily Timewaster
The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California ruled Friday that California's ban on ammunition magazines holding more than ten rounds violates the Second Amendment.
On June 29, 2017, Breitbart News reported that U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez blocked the implementation of California's "high-capacity" magazine ban two days before it was to go into effect. He noted that the ban could not survive the test of District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), noting: "When the simple test of Heller is applied … the statute is adjudged an unconstitutional abridgment."
On July 17, 2018, a three-judge panel from the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit upheld Benitez's ruling, voting 2-to-1 against the ban and sending the case back to Benitez.
On March 29, 2019, Benitez again ruled against the ban, issuing an order barring California Attorney General Xavier Becerra from enforcing the ban.
Benitez again relied upon Heller, noting that "millions of ammunition magazines able to hold more than 10 rounds are in common use by law-abiding responsible citizens for lawful uses like self-defense. This is enough to decide that a magazine able to hold more than 10 rounds passes the Heller test."
The case is Duncan v. Becerra, No. 2:17-cv-56-81 in the U.S. District Court for Southern California.

The Panzer IV (PzKpf
The last appearance by WWII German tanks on the world's battlefields came in 1967, when Syria's panzer force faced off against modern Israeli armor. Quite improbably, Syria had assembled it's collection of ex-Wehrmacht vehicles from a half-dozen sources over a decade and a half timeframe.
This was the most common German tank during WWII. It served the entire conflict from start to finish. It underwent great evolution during it's production run, being made in ten main versions. The Panzer IVs Syria operated were of the late four versions.

Robert E. Lee, Emancipator
With the death Mary Custis Lee's father Washington Custis, the last of George Washington's family, in October 1857, Robert E. Lee was named executor of his will. It left Lee with the care of three hundred black people to "be fed and clothed and sheltered and kept warm; the sick, aged and infirm looked after."
In compliance with his father-in-law's will, Lee freed the 300 black people under his care with manumission papers on December 29, 1862. In stark contrast, it is reported that over time, Harriet Tubman spirited 70 slaves away from their home plantations toward a North hostile toward black people.
"Mr. Custis, my grandfather, had made [my father] executor of his will, wherein it was directed that all the slaves belonging to his estate should be set free after the expiration of so many years. The time had now arrived, and, notwithstanding the exacting duties of his position, the care of his suffering soldiers, and his anxiety about their future, immediate and distant, he proceeded according to the law of the land to carry out the provisions of the will, and had delivered every one of the servants, where it was possible, their manumission papers.
From his letters written at this time I give a few extracts bearing on this subject:
". . . As regards the liberation of the people, I wish to progress in this as far as I can. Those hired in Richmond can still find employment there if they choose. Those in the country can do the same or remain on the farms. I hope they will all do well and behave themselves. I should like, if I could, attend their wants and see them placed to the best advantage. But that is impossible. All that choose can leave the State before the War closes . . .
"I executed the deed of manumission sent me by Mr. Caskie, and returned to it to him. I perceived that [slaves] John Sawyer and James's names had been omitted, and inserted them. If all the names of the people at Arlington and on the Pamunkey are not embraced in this deed I have executed, I should like a supplementary deed to be drawn up, containing all those omitted. They are entitled to their freedom and I wish to give it to them.
Those that have been carried away, I hope are free and happy; I cannot get their papers to them, and they do not require them. I will give them if they ever call for them. It will be useless to ask their restitution to manumit them . . ."

Illinois Prosecutors Bar Association: State's Attorney 'Fundamentally Misled' Public About Dismissing Smollett Case
Looks familiar, must have starred in a movie before......:)
In a blistering condemnation of the dismissal of all 16 felony charges against "Empire" star Jussie Smollett, the Illinois Prosecutors Bar Association (IPBA) has accused State's Attorney Kim Foxx and her office of having "fundamentally misled" the public about the circumstances surrounding the dismissal of the case.
The backlash against the decision Tuesday by Foxx's office to suddenly drop all charges in the high-profile "hoax hate crime" case continues to mount. On Wednesday, the National District Attorneys Association (NDAA), which represents prosecutors across the country, released a statement detailing what Foxx's office did wrong. On Thursday, the IPBA, which "serves as the voice for nearly 1,000 front line prosecutors across the state," issued its own, even more directly accusatory statement.

The American Taliban
You don't see much on the continued attack and removal of war memorials in the news, but that's the intent of the left isn't it? Do it quietly but totally. These monuments were dedicated by their loved ones not to the "cause" but rather to honor their loved ones who paid the ultimate price with their lives. The American Taliban seem to effortlessly pulled down and removed these sacred monuments, unopposed by those descendants that should have an understanding and love for these patriots long gone. One would think.
But no, they come down and are removed by order of leftist City Councils made up of modern day carpetbagger Socialists, "John Lennon glasses wearing" dweebs or "Toxic Feminists" deciding amongst themselves that these monuments offend them and should be pulled down. They understand little and don't care much of our heritage, all they feel is their sense of self-outrage. In a free society, at the very least there should be a referendum on actions such as these and the question should be voted on by the community instead of a self-appointed censor committee. The approach should be thoughtful and well thought out; instead we have knee-jerk decisions that are irreparable.
The Education of a Remarkable Statesman
"From 1811 to 1850," writes Dr. Clyde Wilson, South Carolinian John C. Calhoun served "as representative from that State, secretary of war, vice-president, twice presidential contender, secretary of state, and senator for fifteen years – Calhoun was a central figure in the American experience.
This simply-educated American "had a major if not always decisive influence on every issue of the period – in regard to not only State-federal conflict and slavery . . . but also to free trade and tariff, banking and currency, taxation and expenditures, war and peace, foreign relations, Indian policy, and public lands, internal improvements, the two-party system, and the struggle between congressional and presidential power" – all of which were causations of the fratricidal war he could see on the horizon, but did not live to see.
"Calhoun's education was wholly remarkable. "There was not an academy within fifty miles," says one account. "At the age of thirteen he was placed under the charge of his brother-in-law, Moses Waddel, a Presbyterian clergyman in Columbus County, Georgia."
In fourteen weeks, it is said, he had read Rollins Ancient History, Robertson's Charles V, and South America, and Voltaire's Charles XII. Cook's Voyages (small vol.) Essays by Brown and Locke's Essay as far as the chapter on Infinity.
"Sawney" [a young African boy], we learn, was his constant companion and playmate in these days. No more is heard of books until five years later, when there seems to have developed a unanimous consensus that this young man should have the benefit of higher education. Thus young Calhoun entered upon the higher education when many are about to leave it. "In [nature's] school, remarks Calhoun's most discrimination eulogist, "he learned to think, which is a vast achievement."
The academy, which had now been established by this same Dr. Waddel, near Calhoun's home, was selected for the first stage. "The boys boarded at farmhouses in the woods near the academy, furnishing their own supplies. At sunrise, Dr. Waddel was wont to wind his horn . . . At an early hour, the pupils made their appearance at the log cabin schoolhouse.
After prayers, the pupils, each with a chair bearing their name sculpted in the back of it, retired to the woods for study, the classes being divided into squads according to individual preference.
At the same time Calhoun launched for the first time into "amo" and "penna," a batch of timorous freshmen were tapping at the doors of Yale. In two years' time, Calhoun joined those freshmen at the junior class, and two years later graduated with them, in 1804. None of the accounts fail to mention that the subject of his graduation essay was "The qualifications necessary to constitute a perfect statesman." It was an appropriate text for the life that followed.
Eighteen months now at a law school in Connecticut, and eighteen more in lawyers' offices in Charleston and Abbeville, and seed time is past, the harvest begins. Two years later he was sent to the State Legislature, whence, in turn . . . he was transferred to the House of Representatives in Washington.
Looking back, Calhoun at thirteen starts at books, but is choked off; five years' hunting, fishing and farming, at eighteen to Waddel's Academy; at twenty to Yale; twenty-two graduates; twenty-five lawyer; twenty-seven State Legislature; twenty-nine, Congress."

The Trump-Russia Collusion Hall of Shame
"The news that special counsel Robert S. Mueller III 'did not find that the Trump campaign, or anyone associated with it, conspired or coordinated with the Russian government' has left a lot of people in Washington with a lot of explaining to do," Marc Thiessen writes in The Washington Post.
The worst offenders are those who had access to classified intelligence and lied that they had seen actual evidence of collusion, Thiessen explains. "We have long since passed the point where Americans expect objectivity from the press. But we should hold our elected and appointed officials handling sensitive national security issues to a higher standard."
"Catherine Toney began February in prison and ended the month with a job at Walmart after White House adviser Jared Kushner called the Arkansas-based retailer on her behalf," Steven Nelson writes in the Washington Examiner.. "Toney, 55, is believed to be the first woman freed by the FIRST STEP Act, which President Trump signed in December."
"The Mueller report confirms that the Obama administration, without evidence, turned the surveillance powers of the federal government against the presidential campaign of the party out of power," James Freeman writes in The Wall Street Journal. "It's time for Mr. Obama, who oddly receives few mentions in stories about his government's spying on associates of the 2016 Trump campaign, to say what he knew and did not know about the targeting of his party's opponents."
"Support for a southern border wall among conservatives has jumped since President Trump came to office, reaching a new high of 99 percent," Paul Bedard reports in the Washington Examiner. "The survey . . . found that support for Trump's border wall has increased 85 percent since he became president."

Michael Avenatti, Pedophilia And A Fainting Heiress: NXIVM Sex-Cult Trial Gets Surreal
Seagram heiress Clare Bronfman had a dramatic day in court Wednesday where the accused NXIVM sex-cult financier fainted in response to being asked if she'd secretly retained lawyer Michael Avenatti.
The 39-year-old daughter of late Seagram CEO Edgar Bronfman (whose funeral Hillary Clinton spoke at) pleaded not guilty last July to charges of racketeering, money laundering and identity theft for NXIVM - a secretive multi-level marketing company founded by Keith Raniere, who was arrested last March along with Smallville actress Allison Mack on federal charges which include sex trafficking, forced labor, wire fraud conspiracy, human trafficking and other counts.
Mack allegedly procured women for Raniere - who required that prospective "slaves" upload compromising collateral into a Dropbox account. One such recruit-turned-coach was India Oxenberg - daughter of Dynasty actress Catherine Oxenberg, who met with prosecutors in New York in late 2017 to present evidence against Raniere.

A German's View on Islam
Worth reading because this is by far the best explanation of the Muslim terrorist situation I have ever read. His references to past history are accurate and clear. The author of this email is Dr. Emanuel Tanya, a well-known and well-respected psychiatrist--a man, whose family was German aristocracy prior t...o World War II, and owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism.
'Very few people were true Nazis,' he said, 'but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of our world had come.
My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.'
We are told again and again by 'experts' and 'talking heads' that Islam is the religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the specter of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.
The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honor-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.
The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the 'silent majority,' is cowed and extraneous. Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant.
China's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.
The average Japanese individual, prior to World War II, was not a warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians, most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet.
And who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were 'peace loving'?
History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt. Yet for all our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points: peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence. Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don't speak up, because like my friend from Germany, they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun.
Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late.
Islamic prayers have now been introduced into Toronto and other public schools in Ontario, and, yes, in Ottawa too while the Lord's Prayer was removed (due to being so offensive?! To whom? Not to the vast majority of Canadians!).
The Islamic way is only peaceful until the fanatics move in.
In Australia, and indeed in many countries around the world, many of the most commonly consumed food items have the halal emblem on them. Just look at the back of some of the most popular chocolate bars, and at other food products in your local supermarket. Foods on aircraft have the halal emblem, just to appease the privileged minority who are now rapidly expanding throughout the world.
In the U.K, the Muslim communities refuse to integrate and there are now dozens of ?no-go? zones within major cities across the country that the police force dare not intrude upon. Sharia law prevails there, because the Muslim community in those areas refuses to acknowledge British law.
As for we who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts -- the fanatics who threaten our way of life.
Anyone who doubts the seriousness of this issue and just deletes this email without sending it on, is contributing to the passiveness that allows the problems to expand.
So, I beg you, extend yourself a bit and send this on and on and on in the hope that thousands, world-wide, read this, think about it, and send it on - before it's too late . . .. because we remained silent
The French Lady: A Most Agreeable Gentleman
"Fatti Maschii Parole Femine
In July of 1861, Union troops aboard the Chesapeake Bay steamer the Mary Washington found the "privateer" Colonel Richard Thomas Zarvona hiding in one of her cabins. Aided by some sympathetic passengers, he had removed the bottom of each drawer of a dresser and had curled himself up inside of it. Zarvona's arrest brought to an end a brief but brilliant career in the Southern forces. With a two-day expedition on the lower Chesapeake in June of that same year, he had stunned a complacent North and delivered to the South one of her earliest naval victories.
Zarvona was born Richard Thomas in St. Mary's County, Maryland. His boyhood home, the Patuxent River plantation Mattapany, had been the site of a late 17th century battle between loyalists to Lord Baltimore and Protestant rebels who wanted "to proclaim the new king and queen." Because it was a tradition among the wealthy families of Southern Maryland, Thomas likely attended Charlotte Hall Military Academy, the alma mater of Raphael Semmes and Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney. At sixteen Thomas entered West Point, but at the end of his first year—during which he accumulated 189 demerits—he left, and, to the relief of the Academic Board, did not return. Traveling abroad for a few years—believed to have been a soldier of fortune in the Far East and Italy—he was back home at Mattapany when Lincoln's troops began moving into Maryland in April of 1861.

Desecrating Graves in Raleigh
The Ladies Association of Wake County, North Carolina was formed as the Northern commander in occupied Raleigh ordered Southern dead removed from their graves or he would have them dug up and the remains thrown into a nearby roadway. Gen. Lawrence 'O'B. Branch's wife, during the early occupation of Raleigh, overheard that all Southern officers above the rank of captain were to be hung, which included her husband.
"The following extracts were made from a paper by Mrs. M.L. Shipp, in the woman's edition of the [Raleigh] News and Observer, May 20, 1895, in regard to the most prominent association of the State: "The Ladies Memorial Association of Wake County was formed in 1865, when it was necessary to remove from the grounds of the Pettigrew Hospital the remains of the Confederate soldiers buried there.
It was but a short while after the federals took possession of Raleigh before the Mayor was notified that they admired the spot where rested he Confederate dead, and ordered that they be moved at once, or they would be thrown out in the country road.
A town meeting was called, and the association formed, Mrs. L. O'B. Branch being made President . . . A resting place [at Oakwood] was selected for the reinterment of the beloved dead, and, with the help of the young men and boys of the town, the work was successfully accomplished. The graves were comparatively few at first, but none were safe from Sherman's "bummers," as there was scarcely a new-made grave anywhere but what was opened by these men, in search of treasures . . .
Many Confederate dead from the country were moved this spot, and the grounds were laid off and improved by [Sergeant] Hamilton, a soldier of the Confederate army who lost both eyes from a wound. To raise funds to care for the Confederate dead and erect a monument to their memory . . . it was reported that contraband articles such as Confederate flags, a strand of Gen. Lee's hair, pictures of President Davis or any Confederate general . . . [the constant fear was] the sudden appearance of a bluecoat with orders to search the room for these contraband articles."

[Photos] The Small-Town Placidity of Hue in 1966
Hue Massacre , Tet 1968
Little did they know that the Communist would massacre 8,000 of them two years later.
Neat perpendicular lines of trees that make up the Imperial Palace grounds, the meandering Perfume River hugging central Hue, clusters of red-roofed houses like tiny Lego pieces scattered across a bed of green: the aerial view of Hue in the 1960s evokes a sense of small-town placidity.
Of all metropolises in Vietnam, Hue is among the few that have managed to resist the lure of towering high-rises. In the span of decades since the photos in this collection were taken, the central city's skyline hasn't changed all that much. Every morning, throngs of students in áo dài and white shirts still cross Truong Tien Bridge to get to school while elsewhere at the city's many historical landmarks, tourists amble along the many tree-filled pathways to marvel at past architectural genius.
Taken by American soldier Ted Dexter in 1966, these images show a serene and orderly Hue, a far cry from the hammajang neighborhoods of Saigon during the same era.

Nellie Ohr met Christopher Steele at Mayflower Hotel the day before FBI's Trump-Russia investigation began
Nellie Ohr — Justice Department official Bruce Ohr's wife — met with Trump dossier author and former British spy Christopher Steele the day before the FBI launched its Trump-Russia investigation.
The meeting took place at the Mayflower Hotel, which was described by President Harry Truman as "Washington's second-best address." President John F. Kennedy once kept an apartment — and a mistress — there. In 2008, Governor Eliot Spitzer of New York used an assumed name to book room 871 and meet a prostitute.
A newly released congressional transcript reveals her research on connections between Russia and President Trump, the Trump family, and Trump associates while she worked at Fusion GPS. She declined to answer most questions about her husband, who served as an unofficial back channel between Steele and the FBI.

HUD alleges that Facebook's advertising discriminated on the basis of color and race.

The Secunia Vulnerability Review 2014 is out and it's interesting to see its major finding of vulnerability assessment of operating systems, browser and PDF readers. The Denmark based firm released the data in its annual report on software vulnerabilities covering the 50 most commonly used programs and operating systems.
Starting with the operating systems, the number of vulnerabilities reported in Microsoft's Windows 7 and XP has almost doubled in the year 2013, similar to the figure of 2011. The vulnerability number reported were 102 for Windows 7 and 99 for Windows XP. These were 50 and 49 respectively in the year 2012.
Windows 8 has been identified with most vulnerabilities, however, this high figure is due to the integration of Adobe System's Flash Player into the Internet Explorer browser, which accounted for 55 of those problems.
The report noted that In 2013, 75.7% of the vulnerabilities affecting the Top 50 programs that make up the representative software portfolio affected third-party programs. This means that 24.3% of the remaining vulnerabilities in the Top 50 programs installed on the computers of PSI users, stem from the Windows 7 operating system and Microsoft programs. The third-party results represent a decrease compared to the previous year – 2012 – when vulnerabilities in third-party software accounted for 86%.
Secunia tested vulnerability of five most popular browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera and Safari) and the overall data shows that there were 727 vulnerabilities in these browsers in 2013 compared to 893 in 2012 – a year-on-year decrease of 18.6%. The majority of these vulnerabilities were rated as 'Highly Critical'.
Secunia Vulnerability report mentions that out of the five most popular PDF readers ( Adobe Reader, Foxit Reader, PDF-X Change Viewer, Sumatra PDF and Nitro PDF Reader ) tested by Secunia, Adobe Reader who enjoys almost monopoly-like share of the market was found with the largest amount of vulnerabilities: 67 in 2013 – with about a third of its users leaving it unpatched despite this fact.

How Paraguay Is Finally Reckoning With Its Dark Past
Informal liaisons remained the rule, as did long hours in the area for girls. Agriculture is a significant component of Paraguay's financial venezuela women system and an essential supply of revenue, with approximately forty five% of Paraguay's workforce being employed in agriculture.
Women in Paraguay
Today, there's even some feminist motion, however it is not so powerful as in different international locations. In latest years, virtually all major political parties in Paraguay have included groups focussed on women's rights points. Many members of these groups have been part of the Mujeres por la Alianza (Women for the Alliance) movement that supported the candidacy of Fernando Lugo, on April 20, 2008. In 1936, during the Revolution of February 17, 1936, the Unión Femenina del Paraguay (UFP) (Paraguayan Women's Union) was created.
The movement to broaden women's rights in Paraguay grew considerably within the Nineteen Twenties, largely through the work of María Felicidad González, who represented her country at a feminist conference in Baltimore, in 1922. One yr earlier, on April 26, 1921, she opened the Centro Femenino del Paraguay (CFP) (Women's Centre of Paraguay). Influenced by women's rights movements in North America and Europe, Paraguayan women also started to mobilize and claim their rights. During this period, feminism was associated with the Revolutionary Febrerista Party.
Women's rights history in Paraguay
While this image constitutes a historiographical oddity, in reality women have shaped the course of events in Paraguay in some uncommon methods. Brucke helped create the country's Ministry of Women, a authorities agency dedicated to promoting women's rights, in these first few years after the dictatorship ended. But lately she says progress has slowed; Brucke thinks there's a strong new conservative movement in Paraguay that's pushing back on women's rights — similar to in the US and Europe. Rosio Casco, who was a university scholar activist when the dictatorship ended, is considered one of just a few female lawmakers.
Paraguayan women performed a significant role in the War of the Triple Alliance (1864–1870). With all the men on the front, Paraguayan women, though particularly rural women of the decrease courses, supported almost the complete war financial system. As up to now, women offered a lot of the agricultural labor, yet they took on new duties like harnessing oxen and butchering cattle. As the struggle turned against Paraguay, women volunteered for army service.
"I really feel good as a result of the group exhibits me respect," she advised The Associated Press within the Maka tongue, talking by way of an interpreter. The lady advised the Washington Post she known as the police, but once they arrived and discovered who owned the home, they quickly disappeared. "Habitat for Humanity" is a registered service mark owned by Habitat for Humanity International. Your Team Leader might be in-nation with you, supporting you all through the Build. This implies that they will be on hand to support you before, during, and after the Build, so please ship them any questions that you've got.

Recently she introduced a bill in 2016 that may enhance penalties for targeted violence towards women from fines to years in jail. There was a line within the laws that said women in Paraguay face attacks when they don't fit gender stereotypes — after they're not, for example, submissive or heterosexual. The manufacturing of data is being promoted throughout this area, along with the development of mass awareness-raising campaigns on the elimination of violence towards women aimed toward the general public and particularly at young individuals. The indigenous inhabitants constitutes 2 per cent of the entire population, equal to roughly 115,944 folks divided into 19 ethnic teams and five linguistic families.

They are positive to make their food masterpieces for you with ease and great pleasure. Paraguay women love children very a lot and typically turn into moms when they're underneath 20. Be certain they cherish and take care of their children very properly – they are very good dad and mom.
Women could be students, medical doctors, lawyers, and administrators, but political places of work had been often beyond their attain. Only in 1961 did women receive the proper to vote, and although some feminine deputies were elected in the Nineteen Sixties and 1970s, a full thirty years handed before a Paraguayan president named a girl as minister. Various women's groups and feminist organizations got here into being in the 1980s, but general, as in contrast with all of its neighbors, Paraguay nonetheless has far to go in advancing the pursuits of its women.
And throughout the street from the museum memorializing his atrocities, the partitions of buildings are coated with fresh graffiti calling for authorized abortion and accusing the state of oppressing women. For these dwelling in poverty, the proportion of economically active women is significantly reduced (50.9 per cent), whereas it remains nearly unchanged for men (86 per cent). Women's monthly incomes are equal to only 71.zero per cent of those of men, the majority of women working within the casual sector with highly susceptible working conditions and no access to social security. Also, you must understand that Paraguay isn't so in style among tourists like other international locations of Latin America, so foreigners here all the time rise a certain interest from paraguay women aspect. And the most important thing is that paraguay women are very beautiful and attractive.
Among youth aged 15 to 24 years, the literacy fee is 99% for each men and women. Young people of each sexes start dropping out of the schooling system at significant charges following major levels, nonetheless, and are unlikely to pursue education past the secondary degree. As of 2010, of the population 15 and over, 92.9% of girls and ninety four.8% of men were literate.
Due to Roman Catholic Church affect, birth control methods were neglected, and divorces had been prohibited. Women's suffrage was gained in Paraguay in 1961, primarily as a result of the strongarm president, Alfredo Stroessner, lacking the approval of his male constituents, sought to bolster his assist through women voters. Among the participants in the Union have been Elena Freis de Barthe, Lorenza C. The Union published a periodical referred to as Por la Mujer (For Women), which was the primary feminist periodical in Paraguay.
Febrerista Women's Emancipation Movement
The twentieth century has not, nevertheless, seen a progressive expansion of political affect for Paraguayan women. The numerous dictatorial regimes as well as the Chaco War with Bolivia (1932–1935) and the 1947 Civil War have tended to infuse the political culture of the nation with a military spirit that manifestly has limited the participation of women.

From the Art Director of God of War 3, The Fidelio Incident is a single-player, first-person thriller set off the coast of Iceland. After a violent plane crash, Stanley must search a desolate frozen island in search of his wife Leonore while covering up any traces of their identity. Rescue help is on the way, the past must remain hidden. "They can't find out who we are!"
Inspirations include Dear Esther, Gone Home and Firewatch as well as dark character dramas like as Homeland, Lost, and The Americans.
The Fidelio Incident was also inspired by Beethoven's only opera, Fidelio. We use the opera's premise as inspiration for the backstory, then re-imagined it for a modern setting.
Michael Krikorian's score composes over 40 minutes of original music. He incorporates themes from Fidelio's overture and transforms them to fit the mood and atmosphere of the game. The score expands the emotional depth of the narrative while complementing the atmosphere of the island.
Stanley is played by Glenn Keogh, known for his roles in Transformers Age of Extinction, Once Upon A Time, and Sons of Anarchy. Glenn was born in Ireland. After reading the script, he signed on with the goal of bringing authenticity to Stanley's character. We think he did a great job, and hope you agree!
Leonore is played by Bess Harrison, whose credits include The Temple and Memory, for Amazon Studios. Bess is described by Glenn as having a sweetheart voice you can't help but fall in love with.

Q: Retrieving URL data when Content-Range is sent in PHP There's many options available for downloading a URL in PHP - but I'm stuck.
I've looked through all the ones I know, but none seem to pay attention to partial content headers.
I'm trying to retrieve a URL that gives the following header:
HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content
Content-Range:   bytes 0-100000/631723
As you can see it dishes out the file in 100,000 byte chunks.
Trouble is, when I use any method in PHP, ie file_get_contents, fopen, or even cURL, none of these continue on after receiving the first 100,000 bytes.
End result, I have a 100,000 byte file.
What I need is to get the PHP script to grab all the data, in the example above, all 631,723 bytes.
How can I do this?

A: If you're getting a 206 Partial Content response, then you must have included a Range header field indicating the desired range in your request:
e.g.
GET /2390/2253727548_a413c88ab3_s.jpg HTTP/1.1
Host: farm3.static.flickr.com
Range: bytes=0-999

or there's a proxy somewhere that is breaking the requests into a series of range requests
EDIT
As a resolution, you might want to try sending a series of requests using the Get Range, then stitching them all together as you get each response
EDIT 2
If there is a proxy that's breaking the request so that you get a series of responses, you're probably only processing the first. You might be able to use the CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION to register a callback that is called whenever each data response is received, and which could then manage the stitching back together of the various chunks.

A: Try sending it with HTTP/1.0, which did not define content range requests (and other caching and proxy tohuwabohu). Thus you ensure receiving the complete file.
If you want to use file_get_contents for that, then set the protocol_version parameter via stream_context_create().

Zapu asks Bulawayo to honour Dabengwa
THE opposition Zapu wants Bulawayo City Council (BCC) to honour its late leader and national hero, Dumiso Dabengwa, by naming one of the city's streets after him, the Daily News can report.
Dabengwa died last month aged 79 - after succumbing to a liver-related ailment.
Although the late liberation stalwart was declared a national hero, he was interred at his family's burial place in Ntabazinduna, a few kilometres outside Bulawayo.
Speaking after Zapu's weekend meeting, the party's spokesperson Iphithule Maphosa said they had requested BCC to honour the late liberation icon by naming the City of Kings' Fife Street after him.
"Zapu has written a letter requesting the Bulawayo City Council to rename Fife Street in the central business district in honour of Dabengwa.
"This is in recognition of his immense contribution to the liberation, development and stability of the country.
"Dabengwa, who was a resident of Bulawayo, was instrumental during the recent refusal by BCC to hand over its water supply system to Zinwa (the Zimbabwe National Water Authority).
"Bulawayo became the only authority to retain control of its water supplies and maintain quality standards," Maphosa told the Daily News.
During his tenure in government, Dabengwa was instrumental in pushing for the commencement of work on the long-mooted Matabeleland Zambezi Water Project, which was seen as a solution to ending the perennial water shortages in the region.
However, the project remains a pipedream.
A few years ago, BCC renamed Main Street in honour of the late Father Zimbabwe and-PF Zapu leader, Joshua Nkomo - whose contribution to the country's liberation struggle was also recognised by the government which named the Bulawayo International Airport after him.
On its part, BCC said it would not have problems in granting Zapu its request to have Dabengwa honoured by the city fathers.
"We haven't received the letter yet, but we don't have any problem with such an initiative. It's not the first time this has happened.
"All I can say is that we will deal with the letter when we receive it," ward 1 councillor Mlandu Ncube told the Daily News.
Meanwhile, Zapu has resolved to park the issue of who should succeed Dabengwa, at least until after the party's congress in August next year - with its acting president, Isaac Mabuka, to continue in the role.
"The party also resolved to maintain the rest of the current leadership at all levels.
"The period from now to congress will be used to strengthen structures and welcome people who have shown a keenness to join the party following a display of steadfastness and principles … following the death of our leader," Maphosa said.
Dabengwa died in Kenya last month while on his way back home, following treatment for a liver-related ailment in India.
He told the Daily News in an exclusive interview in 2015 that he would prefer to be buried alongside his relatives in Ntabazinduna because the selection process of who deserved to be buried at the national shrine in Harare had lost credibility.
"I am bitter on the issue of how the heroes' status is now being adjudicated. The granting of hero status was made clear right at the beginning, that it is those people who had performed outstandingly in their contribution to the liberation struggle who would lie there.
"But when you leave out people who contributed so much to the liberation struggle, that boggles the mind," the disconsolate Dabengwa - who usually shied away from the public spotlight, preferring to work quietly behind the scenes - said then.

Bachelor in Paradise Spoilers: Clare Crawley, Lucy Aragon Eliminated in Episode 5; Jesse Kovacs Involved
August 26, 2014 Updated: July 18, 2015
Bachelor in Paradise is airing on back-to-back nights this week, with episode 5 airing on Tuesday night.
The episode will see the men giving out roses while the women ask out men on dates. Lucy Aragon and Christy Hansen, both of Juan Pablo's Bachelor season, are entering the show.
They both ask Zack Kalter on a date but he rejects both of them.
So then they each ask Jesse Kovacs, and he goes on a date with each of them.
Michelle Money and Cody Sattler go on a house date, where they take fake wedding photos.
Also, Clare Crawley and Zack start reevaluating their relationship. "Zack seems to be going back and forth on what he wants, Clare doesn't like it, so Clare leaves the show," according to Reality Steve.
In the rose ceremony, Jesse is left to decide between Christy and Lucy, and gives his rose to Christy.
Meanwhile, Graham Bunn told ABC that he didn't like the actions by AshLee Frazier in the previous episode.
"I already discussed communication with AshLee. I was giving her an opportunity to tell me [what's going on] and she never did. It was frustrating," he said. "For me, all of that stuff was starting to weigh on me, like, this is becoming difficult [to date her] in a very easy place. What's it going to be like in the real world?"
But Bunn still gives his rose to Frazier in episode 5, although they reportedly do not end up together when the show wraps up.
Episode 6, set to air next Monday, will see the introduction of Brooks Forester from Des' Bachelorette season and Tasos Hernandez from the last season of the show, which featured Andi Dorfman.
The spinoff is only slated to run for seven episodes, so the finale is scheduled for September 8.
Right now there's no live after show scheduled, though that could change.

Senior Conservative politicians have accused the Bank of England and HM Treasury of "startling dishonesty" in their contributions to the EU referendum debate, raising the prospect of a major clear-out of senior officials under any new Tory government created following a vote to leave the EU in next Thursday's national poll. The row threatens the Bank's independence from government, established nearly 20 years ago.
In the last days before the 'purdah' period of the referendum campaign – during which government departments may not make policy announcements – HMT published projections predicting that a UK 'Brexit' from the EU would severely damage the UK economy, whilst the Bank of England governor Mark Carney warned that the consequences could "possibly include a technical recession".
Leading 'out' campaigners reacted angrily, arguing that the Bank was taking sides in the debate. Unlike Treasury officials, the Bank's employees do not have a duty to take instructions from ministers and should remain politically neutral: the Bank was granted autonomy by Tony Blair's first, 1997-2001 government, in a bid to prevent ministers from manipulating the economy to secure political advantage.
Nonetheless, leading Brexit campaigner and select committee chair Bernard Jenkin MP wrote to Carney on 13 June, warning that during the purdah period "you are prohibited from making any public comment, or doing anything, which could be construed as taking part in the referendum debate". Carney responded in a letter which, the BBC has reported, depicted Jenkin's letter as a "threat" containing "numerous and substantial" misconceptions.
According to the BBC, Carney's letter said: "All of the public comments that I, or other Bank officials, have made regarding issues related to the referendum have been limited to factors that affect the Bank's statutory responsibilities and have been entirely consistent with our remits." And Carney accused Jenkin of displaying a "fundamental misunderstanding of central bank independence", pointing out that the Bank has "a duty" to report its "evidence-based judgements" to Parliament and the public.
Yesterday (Thursday), the Bank of England continued to comment on the likely outcomes of a Brexit, including in its monthly statement on interest rates a warning that uncertainty over the referendum result presents the "largest immediate risk" to global markets. The Bank pointed to the "risk of adverse spill-overs to the global economy"; said that it is "increasingly likely" that sterling's current slide would worsen in the event of a Brexit vote; and predicted a "materially lower path for growth and notably higher path for inflation" outside the EU.
In setting out its analysis of the likely results of a Brexit, the Bank has put itself in the firing line in a bitter referendum campaign: repeated warnings by economists and international bodies that leaving the EU would badly damage the UK economy have provoked fury from 'Leave' campaigners, who accuse them of bias.
Few think that PM David Cameron could survive a vote to leave the EU, with most commentators predicting that he'd quickly resign – prompting a Tory party leadership campaign likely to be won by one of the 'Brexit' campaigners. And leading analysts point out that any such new Tory leader would find it almost impossible to work with officials accused by prominent 'Brexiteers' of plotting to "back up the attempts of David Cameron and George Osborne to frighten the electorate into voting Remain".
Such a clear-out could badly weaken the Bank's independence, both by revealing the vulnerability of Bank staff to ministerial intervention, and by leading to the appointment of a new swathe of officials deemed to be supportive of the new government. And it seems inevitable that any new pro-Brexit PM would also cut a swathe through senior officials at the Treasury, accused by Leave campaigners of "peddling phoney forecasts" in support of the Remain camp.
In another new development, former UK cabinet secretary Lord O'Donnell warned that any new pro-Brexit PM chosen by Tory MPs after a vote to leave would find it very difficult to pass legislation. "I think there will be great difficulty, because we'll have this new government who by definition will be negotiating our Leave through a parliament where the majority of our MPs – and, it has to be said, the majority of Lords – would be against leaving," he told Sky News on Wednesday night.

Sustainability Sustainability News E-Ducato, the new model from Fiat Professional: "100% Ducato, 100% Electric"
E-Ducato, the new model from Fiat Professional: "100% Ducato, 100% Electric"
"World Environment Day" today is the ideal opportunity to focus on Fiat Professional's environment-friendly offering, now expanded with the E-Ducato, the electric version of the best seller.
Since its presentation as a prototype, measurements and tests have continued on the new E-Ducato, to take up the market challenges, and to set it as a benchmark.
The revolution of the electric era is highlighted by the new logo, created by the FCA Style Center as a symbolic embrace between the future and the present.
Designed in line with the FCA Group's highest quality standards, it is available in all body variants with the same load volume as the conventional Ducato, from 10 m3 to 17 m3, and the best payload on the market, up to 1,950 kg.
Several battery options will be available for the E-Ducato, for range in a typical urban real delivery cycle from 200 to over 330 km.
Maximum output of 90 kW, maximum torque of 280 Nm.
The E-Ducato has been developed to perfection by a dedicated team in over one year of big data analysis on our clients' fleets of vehicles with combustion engines.
Not only that: the sales force is now also following a specific virtual training program, to offer ultimate professionalism in the E-Ducato experience, from first contact onward.
A year has passed since the presentation of the prototype E-Ducato, the full electric BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) developed by Fiat Professional as part of its journey toward zero-emissions vehicles. Over the year, despite all the difficulties related to the public health emergency of the last few months, the development of the new Fiat Professional model has continued with the assistance of simulation tools. The Fiat Professional sales force have attended in-depth Virtual Classroom sessions to familiarize themselves with the new van, which is now ready for launch onto the market in pilot projects with selected clients.
The E-Ducato is the result of an extended series of measurements and tests, taking into account all the variables of usage by different types of clients, as well as dynamic, load and environmental aspects. "World Environment Day" today is the ideal opportunity to focus on the new 100% electric solution for a vehicle that is 100% Ducato, designed to guarantee the future sustainability of mobility and business. The brand-new electric vehicle will soon join the methane-driven Ducato Natural Power in the offering of alternative propulsion systems, to take on the market challenge.
The visual representation of a revolution: the new logo
To mark the beginning of this new electric era, the logo created by the FCA Style Center is making its debut as a symbolic embrace between the future and the present of the best seller. The logo itself is made up of two distinct elements: a letter "E" in blue – the color traditionally associated with innovation and sustainability, preceded by a "D" for Ducato in brushed silver above, to highlight the strong, recognizable character of a vehicle that needs no spotlight in which to shine. This 100% electric van will write a new chapter in the glorious history of the Ducato, a legend that made its first appearance 39 years ago, one constantly revitalized by its commercial successes and ground-breaking technologies. "100% Electric, 100% Ducato": the "E-Ducato" logo is the visual representation of a revolution that will carry the brand forward into the mobility of future. The electric version of the Ducato will be Fiat Professional's flagship for electric mobility and, most of all, for the transition from the "choice of vehicle" to "choice of mobility", inspired by specific work and business factors, as the concept of vehicle purchase shifts from "Total Cost of Ownership" to "Total Cost of Mobility". In this way, Fiat Professional more than ever demonstrates its total commitment to the development of vehicles that are tailored precisely to client requirements.
Developed by professionals with the assistance of professionals
The development of the E-Ducato included over one year of on-road measurements to analyze more than 28,000 connected vehicles. The measurements from a client's perspective were taken by a dedicated team of professionals on vehicles with combustion engines running more than 50 million kilometers, to take into account all the variables of client usage, dynamics, load, and environmental aspects. The analyses were focused on mileage, model variability for any kind of mission, fuel expenditure, vehicle usage, and temperature. By adopting this approach, Fiat Professional aims to offer comprehensive electric mobility solutions. With an analysis of energy demand as a starting point, these solutions will not only cover every single task, they will also provide answers ranging from the vehicle to infrastructure, not to mention a whole range of the everyday services increasingly required by a new and emerging mobility. In addition to a full line-up of versions, the E-Ducato also offers modular options for battery size, with ranges in a typical urban real delivery cycle from 200 to over 330 km at standard environment conditions, depending by battery pack, and a variety of charging configurations. It also comes with high-potential performance: speed limited to 100 km/h for improved energy absorption, maximum output of 90 kW and maximum torque of 280 Nm. The new electric engine does not penalize the Ducato's strengths either: best-in-class load volume from 10 to 17 m3, with a similarly best-in-class payload of up to 1,950 kg. Even more so, the E-Ducato is 100% connected, with an exclusive suite of features that cover the professional and electrification requirements of every kind of client, from user-choosers to sizable fleets that use a fleet management system.
Fiat Professional is therefore capitalizing on its technological heritage and experience to develop the electric version of its best seller. We respect the needs of all professional users, in the name of innovation, performance and flexibility, following the Ducato mantra of "more technology, more efficiency, more value" by offering clients a "zero-emissions" version of the most efficient and versatile van on the market.
A flagship with no holds barred
The new E-Ducato takes no prisoners: 100% Ducato, 100% Electric. It will therefore be Fiat Professional's flagship for electric mobility and, most of all, for the increasingly evident transition from the "choice of vehicle" to "choice of mobility", inspired by specific work and business factors, as the concept of vehicle purchase shifts from "Total Cost of Ownership" to "Total Cost of Mobility".
Comprehensive training for a new sales process
So the E-Ducato professional experience can begin even before getting on board, Fiat Professional organized training days in February specifically for the sales force, involving 265 sales agents and managers across 124 dealerships in the main markets. Road tests structured as a journey through a city were also run at the Balocco circuit, with emphasis on the new full electric driving modes. An in-depth look was also taken at the new WLTP homologation procedure and its impact on the world of outfitted vehicles. Presentations were given on some of these, from mobile workshops and refrigeration to people carriers: a versatility that has always been one of the strengths of the Fiat Professional Ducato.
Virtual training: from developments in training to business development
Given the current cautious social distancing measures, Fiat Professional continued the training in a virtual format: a development in training, just like the E-Ducato represents a development in the business. Each remote session was focused on the product in depth, in preparation for other activities. The E-Ducato technical specifications and line-up were discussed in detail, with special consideration given to its innovative aspects. All the Virtual Classrooms were met with resounding success and were diligently attended. For example, there have already been 310 participants from Germany, 120 from Poland and 210 from non-EMEA regions, while online training will soon begin in the remaining European markets, including in Spain, France and the UK. To continue its journey into the market, the E-Ducato will soon be subjected to extensive specific field testing by partner clients under normal working conditions of usage. On that basis, the E-Ducato is therefore being prepared for its launch on the market, due to take place in the next few months, with the opening of orders in the main European markets as the first stage.

New Year Update: Eaters, The Men, and more
Happy New Year everyone! It's been a while since I've updated the site – it was crazy end to 2016…
My group Eaters put together an installation of sound and light sculptures at Knockdown Center in December. Entitled Eyes Have Brightened, the exhibition opened as part of the massive Parquet Courts event (where I mixed their set as well) and was up through the end of the season. From the statement:
Building on the visual and sonic vocabulary of their unique live music performances, the show features sound and light sculptures and immersive installation elements by Christopher Duffy. This will be the New York premiere of their performative sound sculpture 'Moment of Inertia', and will feature a new soundtrack for the installation composed by Bob Jones and Jonathan Schenke.

At Chris' suggestion, Bob and I spent a few days making some improvised, beat-less instrumental music for the installation. Prisms, the resulting soundtrack album, was featured on Brooklyn Vegan and AdHoc, who called it "transportive… full of minimalist tones, Prisms oscillates between hopeful and buoyant swells to eerie and confounding synths." Prisms is streaming below, and available to download from Bandcamp.
Tangentially, I was featured in an Eventide video, where I discussed their new TEC Award-nominated plugin TVerb. I was a consultant and "alpha-tester" for the plugin (which is inspired by Tony Visconti's recording techniques employed on David Bowie's "Heroes"), and used it throughout the mixing of the upcoming sophomore Eaters LP (due this spring on Dull Tools). Check out the video on Eventide's Facebook page.
NYC psych-punks The Men released their sixth album Devil Music in November. The back-to-basics LP was recorded live-to-tape in their practice space by Jordan Lovelace (of Pampers and Tournament), and I mixed/mastered it at Doctor Wu's with the group last spring. Many reviewers have used terms like "raw", "caustic", "cathartic", and "primal" – all of which are apt descriptions for this awesome show of force. Devil Music is available on LP/download now via We Are The Men/Sacred Bones, and is streaming below.
Speaking of Tournament, the rawk-n-rollers released their new EP Take The Wheel via Colonel Records in October. Also tracked live-to-tape by Jordan and mixed/mastered by me with the band at Doctor Wu's, the EP is six songs of rowdy good-times. As Noisey put it: "there is nothing more true to the spirit of rock 'n' roll—as it was originally intended, that is—as playing your heart out in a garage as if it were a packed, smoke-filled arena." Take The Wheel is available now on LP, cassette and download via Colonel Records, and is streaming below.
Shop Talk's self-titled debut was released on LP last fall as well. The group plays a kind of melodic, slightly twangy, classic "punk" – instantly recognizable yet completely its own thing. Kyle Keays-Hagerman tracked the band at his studio and I recorded the vocals and mixed/mastered it at Doctor Wu's, wrapping it up back in 2015. The band (featuring members of Queening, Liturgy, and Pygmy Shrews) has done a couple tours and a bunch of local shows since then, and has been covered in The Deli and Brooklyn Vegan, so it's awesome to see this get a proper pressing. Shop Talk is out now on Brainbox Records and is streaming below.
I worked with Operator Music Band on their debut full-length Puzzlephonics I & II in October. They're a Brooklyn quartet who create electronic pop songs around relentless motorik grooves with tag-team male/female vocals. Dara Hirsch (one of the singer/guitarist/synth players) recorded the songs at Gravesend Recordings (in the Silent Barn), and we mixed and mastered it at Doctor Wu's. The album will be out later this year on New Professor Music – in the meantime, take the opportunity to check out their single Materielmusik, go see them live (a real treat!), or pick up one of the pedals made by Jared Hiller (the other co-singer/guitarist/synth player) and his company L0/Rez…the Mona Lisa Overdrive is one of the most insane things I've plugged in!
In November, I mixed and mastered the new record by Tica Douglas, entitled Our Lady Star of the Sea, Help Us and Protect Us. Tica's last record Joey was featured in Pitchfork, Impose, and other zines, and this new one was recorded by Ryan Dieringer (who co-produced Joey as well) in various locations upstate. I really admire the ambition of this record – which shifts from intimate, singer/songwriter moments to densely-packed arrangements featuring horns, synths, and a rocking band – and I had the songs stuck in my head for weeks. Our Lady Star of the Sea will be out later this year on Team Love Records.
I also mastered a few singles at the end of the year: The Tills' "I Don't Wanna Be Here Blues" (which has a killer video, and whose upcoming album Shannin I mastered last year as well), Dark Tea's "Providence Sky" (a side project of Gary Canino of the band Rips – check the Impose feature and accompanying video too), and a pair of singles by Brian Chillemi and his band Junk Boys.
Video-wise: In and Out of Control, a short film by Emir Eralp featuring a score by Eaters, has continued to receive wide acclaaim, winning accolades in Istanbul, Berlin, London, and other festivals around the world. And Hospital Head Doctor – a short film by Dean Fleischer-Camp and Jenny Slate (of Marcel the Shell, Catherine, and other projects) which I sound-designed and mixed back in 2015 – was recently released and awarded a Vimeo Staff Pick. Watch it below.
Coming out next month: new releases by PC Worship, Turn to Crime, Dougie Poole, The Britanys!

In an exciting development for freedom of speech at Capital University (CU) in Columbus, Ohio, the student senate passed a resolution late last month affirming the principles of the Chicago Statement on freedom of expression and asking CU's board of trustees to formally adopt it. The legislation was passed with unanimous consent.
The bill was authored by senators Dahkota Parish and Aubrey Searcy and co-sponsored by senator Allison Kerman. Dahkota is president of CU's Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) chapter, and Aubrey is a member.
After the resolution passed January 31, the chapter started a petition to gather support for the Chicago Statement from the greater student body and has teamed up with the CU Debate Team to hold a panel of free speech experts in support of the agenda. Student activists will be tabling and distributing resources in the days leading up to the panel, which will take place Thursday, February 16 from 7-8:30 p.m. FIRE's Tyler Coward will speak.
[The student senate's] actions showed that we as a student body are ready to embrace free speech and free expression, and ready to embrace the responsibilities that they carry with them. I am very excited to see where this will take us, and if nothing more, bring clarification […] and create a healthy dialogue for future students.
FIRE is hopeful that the board of trustees will soon join the 17 other institutions at which faculty governing bodies or administrators have officially endorsed the Chicago Statement. Those institutions include Princeton University, Purdue University, Johns Hopkins University, American University, Chapman University, Winston-Salem State University, the University of Wisconsin System (which includes 26 campuses), the University of Virginia's College at Wise, Columbia University, Louisiana State University, Washington University in St. Louis and Vanderbilt University.
In January 2015, FIRE endorsed the Chicago Statement as the gold standard for committing to protect free speech on campus and embarked on a sweeping campaign to encourage colleges and universities to adopt it. FIRE has since written to hundreds of faculty members, students, and student journalists at institutions across the nation, and visited dozens of campuses to build support for the Chicago Statement by educating students and faculty members on the importance of protecting free expression.
In a bid to drive further support, FIRE has provided students, faculty, and concerned alumni with form letters and sample student and faculty government resolutions calling for the implementation of the Chicago Statement.
FIRE commends the CU YAL chapter for leading this nonpartisan initiative on their campus, and the student senate for adopting it. We are hopeful CU's board of trustees will heed the call of the CU student community and take steps to make the student senate's endorsement of the Chicago Statement official.
