I Funded Myself Through University Overseas Including My Master's And This Is What It Taught Me
I Funded Myself Through University
When I was 19, I was determined to become a lawyer. I liked the idea of knowing my legal rights and helping others counter their difficulties using the law. But also, quite honestly, the idea of parading around in court wearing a wig and black robes appealed to my inner child.
Dreaming of becoming a lawyer
At the time, I was living in Malaysia. I understood that a lot of case law was based on the UK legal system. It made sense to me to study law at a place where all the case law had originated from, so I could learn straight from the source and immerse myself among great legal minds. I imagined myself attending famous court cases and hearing the judgments of popular judges in person. It was going to be so exciting!
My father brought my fantasy to an abrupt halt when he announced that studying abroad was not possible as he couldn't afford it. My parents were still supporting my other siblings and the only option I had was to study at a local university, which was equally good.
I had been reading Jeffery Archer's books and how his characters built business empires from scratch. For some reason, I decided to pretend I was one of his characters. That night, I applied to all the reputable Departments of Law in the UK. I didn't tell my parents.
Making my dreams a reality
I was lucky enough to receive a few offers and decided to pick one in the town I had grown up in as a child, Birmingham. I then asked the university if I was eligible for student funding or support with my fees. Unfortunately, I was not, as I hadn't been a resident in the UK for 3 years. So, I asked myself what a Jeffery Archer character would do and the answer was, do it yourself.
The next day, I announced I was going to study in the UK and fund myself through the university process. I planned to work as much as possible and pay for my fees and living expenses. Looking back, I am surprised my parents let me go. But perhaps, they knew me better than I knew myself and that I could do it.
In the end, I did do it, but it was the most eye-opening, toughest experience of my life. It has shaped my entire character and personality. Nothing wakes you up to the reality of life like worrying whether you can afford your rent next month while trying to revise for your exams and achieve a decent grade.
How Working On My Physical And Mental Health Helped Me To Recover From Burnout In University
The hustle was real
I worked all sorts of part-time jobs. Anything that helped pay for my university fees was fine by me. I worked as a cleaner, barista, waitress, in a call centre and even as a bartender. I didn't drink alcohol but somehow managed to convince the owner to hire me, because the pay was really good and they offered free transport home. Later, he admitted he hired me because he didn't have to worry about me stealing and drinking alcohol! It was a win-win situation.
I didn't sleep much over this period. I experienced a lot of anger and stress that I wasn't achieving the grades I wanted because I was working all the time. In my final year, I applied for grants from a few charities. Miraculously, a few education bodies did help contribute to my fees. This was a huge help, especially in the final year when I need to study the hardest.
In 2011, I completed my degree and Master's. I funded myself through university, paid for by my hard work and resilience. To be honest, the lessons I learnt from that experience were much more than anything I learnt from university.
What I learnt by funding myself through university
I learnt that if you're experiencing hardship, you will build resilience and be better equipped to deal with life's curveballs. No job or situation has been as difficult as what I experienced in those 4 years. Now, I tackle every challenge with gusto. I'm always reminded that life is much easier than before.
Some say talking about money is bad taste. I disagree. We need to talk about money and the importance of financial planning. I don't have a child, but I've set aside a savings account for their future education. The sooner you start planning and saving, the better.
I also learnt that adversity can have two outcomes: gratitude or bitterness. For a long time, I felt disgruntled that my parents weren't rich. Then I spoke to a girl who was also funding her own education. She said, "Everything you do after this will be easier."
She was right. I changed my attitude and decided it was a blessing that I had the opportunity to learn how to make my own income at a young age, and that my body was resilient enough to help me juggle education and work.
Finally, I learnt that money can be made and saved; it's about our personal decisions. Often, I've seen people in debt or unable to save because of bad financial decisions. People want a better financial situation but it's about sacrifice. Are you willing to sacrifice your free time to work on a side hustle to earn extra money? Are you willing to sacrifice spending on items you don't need so you can put the money away in a high-interest savings account?
No doubt, some things that may impact us financially are out of our control, like illness or accidents. But most of the time, it's about bad financial decisions.
I Funded Myself Through University And Learnt Many Life Lessons Along The Way
If you are experiencing a tough situation now, I hope you know you aren't alone in this struggle. I funded myself through university and it taught me that these struggles are in fact building valuable skills that will stay with you for life.

Teodot al II-lea, cunoscut și sub numele de Teodosie, (în ; ) a fost un cleric ortodox grec din secolul al XII-lea care a slujit ca patriarh ecumenic al Constantinopolului din 1151 până în 1153.

Biografie
Teodot a fost stareț al Mănăstirii "Învierea Domnului" din Constantinopol. A fost ales patriarh al Constantinopolului în martie-aprilie 1151, sau, după alte surse, în aprilie 1152 în timpul domniei împăratului bizantin Manuel I Comnen (1143-1180). Istoricul contemporan grec Ioan Kinnamos menționează că Teodot "era obișnuit cu disciplina ascetică".

Durata patriarhatului său variază de la un autor la altul: 2 ani (majoritatea autorilor), 2 ani și 6 luni (manuscrisul grecesc Parisinus 880 din Paris, consultat de Charles du Fresne, sieur du Cange) și 3 ani (Matei Cigalas și Filip de Novara). Surse mai recente menționează că patriarhul Teodot al II-lea a păstorit în perioada aprilie 1151 – august 1153 (Dictionnaire de théologie catholique) sau în perioada primăvara anului 1151 – 1153 (listele lui Karl Krumbacher). Din coroborarea informațiilor incluse în toate aceste surse istorice, teologul și bizantinologul francez Venance Grumel (secretar al Revue des études byzantines și autor al unei cronologii a patriarhilor de Constantinopol) consideră că durata patriarhatelor lui Teodot al II-lea și Neofit I ar fi de maxim 3 ani și 6 luni, între martie-aprilie 1151 (moartea lui Nicolae al IV-lea, predecesorul lui Teodot) și noiembrie 1154 (urcarea pe tron a lui Constantin al IV-lea, succesorul lui Neofit).

Teodot a slujit doi ani (între un an și șase luni și doi ani și șase luni, potrivit lui Grumel) ca patriarh al Constantinopolului, timp în care nu au avut loc evenimente importante, și a murit în funcție cândva între octombrie 1153 și octombrie 1154. Gheorghe Tornikis, care era atunci hypomnematographos (cancelar patriarhal) și a devenit ulterior mitropolit al Efesului (1155-1156), consemnează într-o scrisoare către Gheorghe Bourtzis, viitorul mitropolit al Atenei (1156/7), că a fost aproape linșat de "mulțimea sălbatică a clerului Bisericii "Sfânta Sofia" atunci când s-a opus planului lor de a economisi bani la înmormântarea lui Teodot. Refuzul clerului constantinopolitan de a organiza o ceremonie funerară de stat potrivită rangului înaltului ierarh s-ar fi datorat acuzației că patriarhul ar fi fost bogomil, acuzație adusă de diaconul Sotirihos Panteugenos, ulterior patriarh ales al Antiohiei (1156-1157), care a folosit "mâna neagră și încrețită" a răposatului Teodot ca dovadă a ereziei sale.

Supporting language development in a child's first five years is one of a parent's most important tasks. Children who learn to be effective communicators are more likely to be successful in all areas of their later schooling.
Because children seem to naturally learn language, we often assume that language just happens. Children actually learn to talk from direct and indirect interactions with more competent speakers and their environment. Here are some ways you can build your child's language capacity. Talk to your child during all daily routines, provide words to go along with your actions and with things that your child is noticing in the environment.
Don't correct speech, elaborate and extend on it. Read books daily, showing your child the pictures and pointing to words that go along with them. Help them see the connection between the symbols we call letters and the words we speak. Model good listening and seek out meaningful conversations with children of every age.

CromwellCoins - Thames Hoard
1650 Claude de Jongh "View of Old London Bridge from the West"
oil on oak panel 71 x 126 cm
Victoria and Albert Museum, London
The River Thames shown in the 1650's is the site where it is believed a London trader lost a cache of silver coins around 1660. It happened near Blackfriars Bridge.
As reported by Hazel Forsyth in BNJ in 1999 - "This hoard of over one and a half thousand coins was recovered by its finder with great labour and skill from the Thames foreshore near Blackfriars Bridge. Following examination at the Museum of London, it was transferred to the British Museum, and a report was prepared on the coins for the City coroner. Under the definition of Treasure Trove as it has been applied under common law, material accidentally lost cannot constitute Treasure Trove. Although the hoard was recovered from the foreshore, an analysis of early London maps and archaeological evidence showed that the coins were originally deposited in the middle of the Thames as it existed in the seventeenth century. Subsequent land reclamation has reduced the width of the river and the find spot is now exposed at low tide. Thus, it was evident that these coins would not have ended up where they were found as a result of deliberate concealment and, in the absence of any other evidence, were assumed to be an accidental loss. Thus, the jury decided that the find could not be designated Treasure Trove. The find was therefore passed back to the finder. It was sold at auction by Baldwin's on 13-14 October 1997.23 It was at this point that the hoard was cleaned, to remove a layer of silver choride, enabling Michael Sharp of Baldwin's to refine and correct some of the identifications, and his catalogue should be referred to, particularly as he was able to note details of legends and punctuation which were not previously visible, and to increase the number of certain counterfeits. The catalogue in this report takes account of his corrections where possible, but several discrepan- cies remain. Also, it seems that a few coins recovered subsequent to the original find were made available, giving a total of 1,582 listed in the sales catalogue.
The face value of the coins at the time of deposit was £92 14.
The great interest and importance of the find lies in the presence of such quantities of Commonwealth material. This sort of evidence is rare in hoards, since Commonwealth issues were demonetised after the Stuart Restoration, being ordered to be returned to the mint for recoin- ing. The recoinage was announced on 7 September 1661 and was largely completed by late sum- mer 1662.24 Commonwealth coin ceased to be useable in common payments on 30 November 1661, as Pepys noted, though a further three months was allowed for public payments to the government. Pepys also attested to the success of the withdrawal of Commonwealth coin: in 1663 he reported that, of around £750,000 coined, £500,000 was recovered and another £100,000 accounted for in Ireland and Scotland, plus perhaps another £100,000 exported, leaving relatively little unaccounted for; in 1665 he amended the overall figure for coin recovered to £650,000 at 23 Baldwin's Auctions, no. 14, 13-14 October 1997, pp. 29-42. 24 C.E. Challis (editor), A New History of the Royal Mint (Cambridge, 1992). pp. 338-9. 25 The Diaiy of Samuel Pepys, edited by R. Latham and W. Matthews II (London. 1970). p. 224. 158 NEW HOARDS FROM SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY ENGLAND least'. There was thus little more than a decade available for the deposition of Commonwealth hoards.
There are individual pieces of great scarcity in the find. They include previously unrecorded half-crowns of 1657 (two specimens) and the second known 1659 half-crown. The contents run down to the latest issues of the Commonwealth period, 1660, of which there are ten coins present. The find must have a deposit date of 1660 or not much later. It is tempting to link the find, lost in the mid-Thames in presumably unusual or emergency conditions, with the period and circum- stances of the Restoration itself. This may have inclined many people to seek to conceal or move their available cash, particularly if they were linked to the Commonwealth regime (as many in the City were). The Commonwealth coins also represent a large proportion of the find: nearly twenty five per cent of the coins, and over 30 per cent of its face value. It presumably originated in London itself, where newer coin would be most readily accessible. However, it is difficult to say that its propor- tion of Commonwealth coin is unusually large, given the shortage of recorded hoards with which to compare it. There are just two substantial hoards on record from the Commonwealth period of a scale suitable for comparison with Blackfriars Bridge, but neither corresponds very closely to this find. Both close with coins of 1655, and have Commonwealth coins present in small quantities: two per cent of the 660 coins of the Stainton-by-Langworth, Lines., hoard; and nine per cent of the Laughton, Sussex, hoard of 524 coins (mostly half-crowns).
It may be relevant to note the comments made by Samuel Pepys in 1665 about the demonetisa- tion of Commonwealth coin. He noted that, before this was cried down, some goldsmiths had made 'pellicular trials what proportion that money bore to the old King's money, and they found that generally it came to, one with another, about 25/. in every 100/. 'Presumably the 'old King's money' would include all royal issues, and not just those of Charles I himself. As the Commonwealth coin in the Blackfriars Bridge hoard amounted to the equivalent of about 35 pounds out of a hundred, it may be felt likely that it over-represents new coin. However, Pepys also noted the goldsmiths' opinion that this level (£25 in every £100) was an underestimate, since, when the probability of the Restoration became clear, 'people began to be fearful of this money's being cried down, and so picked it out and set it a-going as fast as they could, to be rid of it'. If this opinion is valid, it may be that the Blackfriars Bridge find does in fact fairly represent the state of coinage in the late Commonwealth years. Within the Commonwealth coin, its proportions reflect quite well the output of silver from the mint in the years 1649-60: for example, 46.8 per cent of this silver output occurred between December 1651 and November 1653, while the coin in the Blackfriars Bridge hoard dated 1652 and 1653 provides forty seven per cent of the Commonwealth coin present, reckoned in shilling units. The average weights of coins in the hoard indicate a currency moving away from the profile familiar from the Civil War period, in that they show a very clear fall from the generally high level present in hoards of the 1640s). This is probably not surprising. As the high output levels of the mid 1640s receded, the issues of that period experienced the con- sequences of use and abuse, while the decline of mint output in the 1650s reduced the amount of good, new coin regularly joining the currency. The condition of the hoard may also reflect the con- sequences of its long river-bed residence, but this was probably not the major factor in this change, as the non-Commonwealth material in the find compares reasonably well with that of the only slightly later Burgclere and Redditch hoards, and even the unusually good quality money of the Congleton hoard of 1670 is not too far away in standards."

This plot reveals the rise of the halfcrown - non existent till Charles I reign and then becoming increasingly popular in the Commonwealth Period. The popularity of the sixpence was the exact opposite with a declining use. The shilling was the most popular denomination in day to day use. Notably the silver crown and all the gold denominations are absent in this and other hoard finds.

Zdeněk Stránský (15. ledna 1921 – 7. května 1945, Praha) byl český herec.

Život
Byl synem zástupce ředitele Národního divadla v Praze Dr. Rudolfa Stránského . V roce 1940 absolvoval dejvické gymnázium. Jako oktaván začal režírovat, byl spoluautorem divadelních her pro ochotníky ze Sokola Dejvice, se kterými také hrál. Později psal i divadelní kritiky .

Patřil k mladé herecké generaci a za války hrál na malých pražských scénách, hlásících se k odkazu avantgardního meziválečného divadla. Působil od roku 1940 v Honzlově Divadélku pro 99 (v Topičově salónu na Národní třídě), později v Divadélku ve Smetanově muzeu (podzim 1941 – konec roku 1943) založeném a vedeném režisérem Antonínem Dvořákem a nakonec v divadle Větrník Josefa Šmídy, kde působila např. i Stella Zázvorková, Vlastimil Brodský, Zdeněk Řehoř, Václav Lohniský a Zdeněk Dítě. Ve Větrníku kromě hraní byl jednu dobu spolu se Zdeňkem Řehořem i administrativním vedoucím souboru. Režiséra Šmídu seznámil v roce 1943 s Jiřím Brdečkou.

Spolu s Antonínem Dvořákem a dalšími divadelníky pracoval za války v levicovém ilegálním hnutí.

Byl zastřelen nacisty na balkóně Národního divadla v Praze v době květnové revoluce, kdy držel hlídku společně s dalšími pracovníky a členy Národního divadla. Německý ostřelovač jej zasáhl zřejmě ze Žofína. Spolu s ním byl těžce raněn také člen orchestru ND Ladislav Kabeš ; .

Po válce připravil Jindřich Honzl ve svém Studiu Národního divadla na památku Z. Stránského jevištní pásmo "Ty, který tu zpíváš nyní...", uvedené 7. května 1946.

The Greatest Generation? …A Hundred Years Ago
One hundred years ago, an ordinary citizen could, without license, approval or red tape, own a water-cooled heavy machine gun. A hundred years ago, somebody could start a business by just going to work at it and telling everybody you know. In fact, a hundred years ago there were more minority businessmen, scientists, capitalists and farmers than there are today. (…Seriously. I'm not making that up. Hoosiers should know that the first female millionaire was Madame Walker, a black woman)
A hundred years ago there was no income tax, no "federal" programs, no undeclared wars, and practically no restrictions of any kind on what citizens could drink, eat, say or do.
Today, our central planners decide how much water a toilet can flush. They regulate our "rights" to religion, speech, press, assembly, petition in literally thousands of ways. They tell you whether you can start a business, or not. They tax you for everything in such an insidious, hidden way that you don't even notice that over half of what you do, you do for politicians.
This is sick. This is stupid. This cannot last and it will die; either by planning and considered replacement, or to our slack-jaw horror as this nation is squashed under the juggernaut of our own incessant, invariable and stupid history.
I hate that we're failing. I hate that so few see it. I hate that I am unable to do much about it.
You, however…you could turn this around. The collective "us" can easily fix all that's wrong and get the government we had a hundred years ago (still the newest thing ever) with all the technology of today.
We just need to ask. …And then demand.
We must never again waste our votes on the criminals currently stealing us blind. We must vote only for those who'd obey the written constitutions as written.
Is that so hard?

A thought for to-day
If I, an ordinary citizen, were to write a law, would you have to obey it?
Of course not. Certainly not.
Now, if a policeman, sworn to uphold the law, were to write a law, would you have to obey it?
Well, this is a little hazier if his hand is on his gun, right? But theoretically, no, you'd not have to obey any law that's not written by a lawmaker.
If a cop writes a law and makes you obey it, he's a criminal cop, right? If I write a law and make you obey it, I'm a criminal citizen. In fact, if a judge writes a law, we all know that's illegal, though we never do anything about "activist judges."
Hmmm…that will be another post on another day.
Anyway, we all know that only lawmakers should write laws.
But what makes a lawmaker? What makes it legal to write laws?
The state and federal constitutions are very clear in this. Only those who uphold the constitutions that created their jobs and empower them in the first place are authorized (by authority of constitutions) to write laws. The Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions of 1799 reinforced this in a very nearly Second Revolution kind of way.
Constitutions are contracts, you know.
So when lawmakers throw aside constitutions, they are no longer authorized by any authority to make laws. If they abrogate the constitutions that give them power, then they've abrogated their power.
In still other words – words that seem far more 1799 than 2007, perhaps – when lawmakers break the laws that protect us from them, we're no longer bound to the laws that protect them, from us.

More than One out of Two…
You know, it's kind of funny. We've had very few USA Presidents under whom Nothing Bad Happened, and those presidents are generally called "do-nothing" Presidents. Under Rutherford Hayes, for example, the nation thrived and grew like no nation ever before or since, yet he's swept into the dustbin of Do-Nothing Presidents.
However, there are those presidents who drag us into terrible turmoil, typically by design and deceit, trashing civil liberties and leaving a wake of poverty, crime and lost dreams…and these are the lionized, canonized Presidents whose names are spoken with hushed reverence: FDR, Woodrow Wilson, and maybe someday, hopefully after I'm dead, George W. Bush.
I take that back. There's nothing funny about this.
Since Teddy Roosevelt (a truly bad one in my book – he gave us anti-business laws, a wave of new "federal" agencies, the first "universal healthcare" proposal, income tax…income tax!…and a whole lot of foreign policy madness that dogs us still), government has been growing fast.
Interestingly, the fastest bloating/rate of "government" (remember that the word "govern" means restrain) expansion started after WWII, and now has reached such a level of depravity that today, over one-half of the nation lives off of political largesse.
Police, armed forces, political agencies, welfare, etc., etc., et cetera now consumes more than one-half of our nation's wealth…
Over one-half.
That means for every one person making a living, there's at least one person siphoning off tax money for his/her living.
That's more than one-out-of-two.
And I'm talking about YOUR taxes. …YOUR money.
Over ONE HALF!
Has that ratio hit you yet?
Well, don't let it tarry for too long in your head, because that ratio is getting worse as we speak…

It's a simple thing. Let's do it.
My request is simple, but I'll repeat it since it bears repeating every day.
I want politicians to obey written laws, as written, just like you and I have to. No "interpretation" from the bench; no "legal precedents;" no ifs, ands or buts. If a law is unclear, politicians can clarify it in print. If a law is bad, then change it, or delete it, in print. They are lawmakers, right?
No more fudging or cheating. I want politicians to obey what's written, as written.
That's it. That's what I want.
OK, well, I'd like slightly more than only that, I suppose. I'd love it if our laws were few enough to actually know, simple enough for everybody to understand, and important enough that everybody must obey them without exception, proviso or caveat.
What I really want, in other words, are the written, signed constitutions for which so many generations of Americans fought and died, to be enforced. I want officeholders and officers of law to keep their oaths of office.
I want the Rule of Law under constitutions here that we say we're fighting for in Iraq.
I want everybody to know that laws are laws and that nobody gets special deals even if they're special people.
Yes, I know. Constitutions are called "living documents;" and even "agrarian," as if that somehow means, "outdated."
It's no surprise that politicians say such things. You'd never expect an unruly child to obey rules without adult supervision. You'd never expect a rabid dog to willingly take a leash. So it is of course the job of citizens to snap the constitutional leash on our politicians. They'll never do it themselves.
…Ah, but here's the rub.
We haven't even asked that politicians obey written laws as written. And the reason why we have not is highly embarrassing.
You see, we have had our own reasons to twist and stretch and cheat the law.
For example, a lot of citizens who say they'll fight for free speech, fight against the freedom to own guns. And a lot of citizens who want to bear arms won't allow the freedom to smoke pot. Many who say it's OK to smoke pot, would snatch trans-fats and cigarettes from your mouth. Those who support abortion oppose the death penalty, while those who want to nuke the Middle East say they're pro-life…
Democrats wield parts of the constitution against Republicans, and Republicans invoke parts against Democrats …nobody, it seems, will allow that the whole thing is not only a good idea – it's the law!
Surely I cannot be the only one willing to drop this insane personal fascism if we could live in justice and peace instead…
So enough already! Politicians won't be any more sensible than we are, and we've been quarreling and posturing like playground bullies.
I say let's do this: Let's demand compliance with written laws, as written, from ourselves and our politicians by, say, 2012. That's plenty of time, and we don't want to waste too much more of that.
Then if we want war, politicians would have to take pains to declare it legally. It'd be for the first time since WWII!
If we want to subsidize pro sports or foreign corporations, politicians will have to go through the deliberation to amend the constitutions. And if we really want that books are not a part of tax-paid school, but stadiums and cafeterias are …well, change what the constitutions say now, and write the nonsense down in black and white so that we all know that the rules, wise or stupid, are the rules.
Call, write, picket and otherwise inform our politicians that we've learned our lesson.
It's time for all of us, especially politicians, to read plain words of law and obey them, as written, or face the consequences as lawbreakers.
It's a simple thing. Let's make it so.
Constitution Day…by "federal mandate?"
Now, this is fascinating. In the most incredibly ironic way, it is very, very fascinating.
As of May 24, 2005, "federal law," (look up "federal" and compare it to "unitary" government) in the form of the Federal Register, Volume 70, Number 99, says that "educational institutions receiving Federal funding are required to hold an educational program pertaining to the United States Constitution on September 17 of each year."
Also, and perhaps even more ironically fascinating, is that "…the U.S. Office of Personnel Management will be making available to all Federal agencies, information to help train and educate Federal employees on the Constitution and, in particular, its relationship to the Oath of Office Federal employees take." (I added the red italics just because this is so darned fascinating.
OK, so if you know anything about me, you know that I'm all about constitutional education and the Rule of Law it really should entail.
But what's fascinating about a federal mandate to educate people on the constitution, is that it's an unconstitutional mandate! It's completely illegal!
What's fascinating about the constitution's "relationship" to constitutional office-holders' oaths of office, is the very nature of each pledge to uphold and defend the constitution, typically "against all enemies, foreign and domestic."
…Relationship? It's all about the constitution!
And what is a constitution, after all? It's restraint on power. It's a leash on politicians, not on you. And who should be controlling the leash – politicians, or you?
Which brings me to what is most fascinating about a mandated Constitution Day, and all the "educational resources" the government pushes onto us:
How would you feel about a fox teaching hens self-defense? How'd you feel about Stalin preaching brotherly love? Well, that's how I feel about politicians feeding us "information" about the constitution!
It's up to you to leash your dog. You need to clean up its messes too. Please start here, and then read this.
It won't take long for you to educate yourself. You don't want politicians to help you; because if you read it yourself, you'll learn that most of what they do is illegal!
And isn't reading it yourself, and holding your politicians to this precious contract, what Constitution Day should be all about?
Public Service Message:
As much as we may dream it, there is, sadly, no such thing as anarchy. Somebody always leads, and most of us always follow…typically to destruction, and typically with the trumpets and banners of patriotism.
There is no true anarchy. Mankind has never, ever, ever suffered a lack of rules. There are always plenty of those for citizens.
The fear of anarchy is a red herring shoved down your throat by archists; the rulers. They tell you how much they're needed, and they warn you about the bedlam that will ensue without their constant, loving, trustworthy care.
And we fall for it every time.
So, sorry; there is no anarchy possible.
However, there is hope in the perennially-attacked (by politicians), always mis-taught, and therefore almost completely misunderstood Rule of Law.
"Rule of Law" is NOT about stop signs, taxes and anti-smoking laws for citizens while rulers wallow and frolic in absolute power. It's easy to make citizens obey laws, and there are always laws that apply to citizens. What's hard is making politicians obey laws.
Rule of Law is the opposite of Rule of Tyrants, Rule of Politicians, Rule of Whim. Rule of Law is more about politicians, in fact, than about us; with the only excepting being that ROL works best for everybody.
Civilizations thrive with ROL, and they die without it. Look it up. From Urukagena and Hammurabi to the Magna Charta and our own Constitution for the United States – society works best with its bad-dog politicians on a leash!
So isn't it time we put our politicians on one at last?

"Citizen Congress" (?) Proposal
I'm getting a little annoyed. Several people have expressed enthusiasm for the idea behind my Citizen Congress proposal, but they hate the name "Citizen Congress." OK, so come up with another. The important thing is to act upon the idea. …Alright?
Here's a little more fleshing-out on what I propose we do (no matter what we call the effort):
1. Rule of Law. We'd demand that politicians fully comply with the Indiana Constitution, as written, by 2012 (either amend it, or even better, cut Indiana government to fit only what's authorized by law). Politicians have nor more right to "interpret" laws than I have to "interpret" speed limits. Our rules must be written down and obeyed as written, so must theirs be. Simple as that. It's silly that we've never asked for legitimate government under written law obeyed as written. We've given politicians too much rope, and they're hanging us with it. That's nuts. What're we thinking?
2. As a first step we'd separate Common School funding from everything else, as is constitutionally required. And we'd finally, sensibly and legally determine what "uniform" schools are (I propose it's a greater number of simple, small buildings closer to students' homes, books, teachers, educational equipment like microscopes, a smallish exercise facility for calisthenics [not sports; that's what community centers should be for] and nothing else). It's crazy that we decided that book fees aren't a part of tax paid school, but swimming pools, stadiums, cafeterias and half-million-dollar-a-year coaches are. That's just whacked. We need our state-funded schools to be equal between rich and poor areas; and we need state schools to be state schools; not some hybrid of local/state/whatnot funding.
3. Along with number 2 we must separate local funding from state funding. We've got it all intertwined and that's stupid. Local governments can do property tax (though I'd prefer a direct tax levied for services more like a land rent so that you don't get dinged for improving your property) or whatever other taxes they want. If local/state funding is separated, we can easily get rid of property tax without getting an ugly slug of income and sales tax.
4. I'd also propose (but this is highly negotiable since it's a slightly different tangent) that we get rid of all exceptions to our retail sales tax on all new goods and services. A simple, flat retail sales tax would be much, much saner. We could keep the rate the same as it is now and raise a whole lot more money, while setting the theme of simplicity in all taxation. That, plus the above steps (particularly number 1) would be enough to kill the individual property tax (only corporate tax is constitutionally required for the Common School fund) and probably state income tax to boot.
5. It does no good for us to fragment ourselves into subgroups that hack at the branches of our problems. It does no good to work on new laws or constitutional amendments when the problem is that politicians don't obey laws! We must ignore the branches and unite upon the root. We won't get what we don't ask for, and we will get what we demand; if we demand it together.
A little perspective, maybe?
We all know that 911 should have been a wake-up call. We apparently can't agree, however, on what "waking up" actually entails.
I say it should be recognition of an ancient, repetitious and invariable fact: Political government doesn't work.
But instead of awakening to a refreshed and healthy mistrust of politicians, we've gone all twitterpated in love with our politicians. We now trust them with everything; and to a degree never before seen on earth. That will be fatal if we don't snap out of it quick.
So as a public service, I'm posing a few perspective questions to ponder and share with friends:
Are box-cutters more dangerous than nukes? When the USSR had a thousand multi-megaton nuclear devices fueled up and ready to launch at us, ten-year-old kids had firearms and we were proud of our liberties. But we gutted the last of our freedoms (we have only illusions now) when we were told that we got sucker punched by a handful of zealots armed with only box-cutters… I'm not so sure I believe the official story on this, but that's another matter.
What are we afraid will happen to us? We're spending a gazillion dollars sending planes, ships, people and supplies overseas to beat some people up, and we're not doing so well. It's hard to cross an ocean and make people submit to us. Don't you think it'd be even harder for an amorphous mob of fanatics to organize a serious threat to the USA?
Don't political interventions always make things worse? WWI caused the spread of socialism/fascism/communism/corporatism, which caused WWII, the Korean conflict, Vietnam… We've not had a year's peace since the Spanish American War, you know. We helped create Iraq in 1920, and it never, ever works to fiddle around with other countries. You know that, right?
Don't we have other things to worry about? Our dollar is worth 4 cents, the world is primed for a pandemic of hostilities and economic woes that no American has ever endured, and in less than a year I'm betting you'll be very sorry we've been fooling around in other countries when our economy gets sucker punched. There are lots of nations that have nuclear weapons; several can lob nukes around the world. But our biggest fears should be reserved for the dangers within our own government. That is, after all, where trouble always starts and ends. Are we still worried about box cutters and exploding shoes?
I certainly don't mean to denigrate the suffering of those who lost loved ones on 9/11. But it happened because our government screwed up; and we're letting our government make things much, much worse. There should be a point at which we say enough's enough, right?
Most of us understand, at least at some level, that the USA had the greatest socioeconomic system in the world a hundred years ago. But that was the Old Deal. We're living with an ever-devolving New Deal, which happens to be an awful lot like all the ancient oppressions…
Wake up. You can't hit snooze again. Time's up. We must act now.
Thoughts on the Indiana Constitution…among other things
UPDATE: For the whole Indiana Constitution (with what I hope are helpful annotations) see: https://wedeclare.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/indiana-constitution-book1.pdf
Well, so, this is a long one. But here are what I think are some important thoughts on, mostly, the Indiana Constitution. I've highlighted some interesting law in red, but all my words are in blue.
First of all, according to:
IC 5-4-1-1
Oaths; officers and deputies; prosecuting attorneys and deputies
Sec. 1. (a) Except as provided in subsection (c), every officer and every deputy, before entering on the officer's or deputy's official duties, shall take an oath to support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Indiana, and that the officer or deputy will faithfully discharge the duties of such office.
Are we clear on this? Our officers and deputies are arms of the constitution, not of Bart or Mitch or GWB.
The following is from the Indiana Constitution:
ARTICLE 1., Section 1. "…all free governments are, and of right ought to be, founded on their authority, and instituted for their peace, safety, and well-being. For the advancement of these ends, the People have, at all times, an indefeasible right to alter and reform their government."
So let's do that.
Section 3. No law shall, in any case whatever, control the free exercise and enjoyment of religious opinions, or interfere with the rights of conscience.
Section 11. The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable search or seizure, shall not be violated; and no warrant shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the person or thing to be seized.
Clearly both a state and "federal" problem.
Section 12. All courts shall be open; and every person, for injury done to him in his person, property, or reputation, shall have remedy by due course of law. Justice shall be administered freely, and without purchase; completely, and without denial; speedily, and without delay.
Speedily? …Without purchase? Wouldn't that be nice…
Section 19. In all criminal cases whatever, the jury shall have the right to determine the law and the facts.
See? Both law and facts. JUDGES don't have that power!
Section 21. No person's particular services shall be demanded, without just compensation. No person's property shall be taken by law, without just compensation; nor, except in case of the State, without such compensation first assessed and tendered.
Section 22. The privilege of the debtor to enjoy the necessary comforts of life, shall be recognized by wholesome laws, exempting a reasonable amount of property from seizure or sale, for the payment of any debt or liability hereafter contracted: and there shall be no imprisonment for debt, except in case of fraud.
So is a home one of the necessary comforts of life, or not? If not, what is?
Section 23. The General Assembly shall not grant to any citizen, or class of citizens, privileges or immunities, which, upon the same terms, shall not equally belong to all citizens.
Well, millionaire athletes, politicians and campaign contributors aren't really citizens…
Section 25. No law shall be passed, the taking effect of which shall be made to depend upon any authority, except as provided in this Constitution.
Wow, that's a plate full. A huge percentage of what government now does was never authorized by the Constitution. These words should be memorized by all citizens and wielded like a sword.
Section 26. The operation of the laws shall never be suspended, except by the authority of the General Assembly.
Section 31. No law shall restrain any of the inhabitants of the State from assembling together in a peaceable manner, to consult for their common good; nor from instructing their representatives; nor from applying to the General Assembly for redress of grievances.
They are not allowed to stop us from doing what we must do, in other words.
Section 32. The people shall have a right to bear arms, for the defense of themselves and the State.
This right is is pretty unequivocal, isn't it?
Section 33. The military shall be kept in strict subordination to the civil power.
I'm worried about who gets to define "civil power."
ARTICLE 3., Section 1. The powers of the Government are divided into three separate departments; the Legislative, the Executive including the Administrative, and the Judicial: and no person, charged with official duties under one of these departments, shall exercise any of the functions of another, except as in this Constitution expressly provided.
Section 16. Each House shall have all powers, necessary for a branch of the Legislative department of a free and independent State.
…Free and independent State, as opposed to a mere flunky to a unitary power in DC.
Section 20. Every act and joint resolution shall be plainly worded, avoiding, as far as practicable, the use of technical terms.
Plainly worded. No decoder rings. No "interpretation" required.
Section 12. The Governor shall be commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and may call out such forces, to execute the laws, or to suppress insurrection, or to repel invasion.
Seriously. If we get our state in order and the others do not, this could be helpful. And look elsewhere in the constitutions to see just who the militia really are supposed to be. (you, in case you didn't know)
ARTICLE 8. Education
Section 1. Common schools system
Section 1. Knowledge and learning, general diffused throughout a community, being essential to the preservation of a free government; it should be the duty of the General Assembly to encourage, by all suitable means, moral, intellectual scientific, and agricultural improvement; and provide, by law, for a general and uniform system of Common Schools, wherein tuition shall without charge, and equally open to all.
…UNIFORM! Do we not know what that means?!?
Section 2. Common school fund
Section 2. The Common School fund shall consist of the Congressional Township fund, and the lands belonging thereto;
The Surplus Revenue fund;
The Saline fund and the lands belonging thereto;
The Bank Tax fund, and the fund arising from the one
hundred and fourteenth section of the charter of the
State Bank of Indiana;
The fund to be derived from the sale of County
Seminaries, and the moneys and property heretofore held
for such Seminaries; from the fines assessed for breaches
of the penal laws of the State; and from all forfeitures
which may accrue;
All lands and other estate which shall escheat to the
State, for want of heirs or kindred entitled to the
inheritance;
All lands that have been, or may hereafter be, granted to
the State, where no special purpose is expressed in the
grant, and the proceeds of the sales thereof; including
the proceeds of the sales of the Swamp Lands, granted to
the State of Indiana by the act of Congress of the twenty
eighth of September, eighteen hundred and fifty, after
deducting the expense of selecting and draining the same;
Taxes on the property of corporations, that may be
assessed by the General Assembly for common school
…only corporations!
Section 3. Principal and income of fund
Section 3. The principal of the Common School fund shall remain a perpetual fund, which may be increased, but shall never be diminished; and the income thereof shall be inviolably appropriated to the support of Common Schools, and to no other purpose whatever.
…Principal? …Interest? (see below) …Perpetual fund? Good idea!
Section 4. Investment and distribution of fund interest
Section 4. The General Assembly shall invest, in some safe and profitable manner, all such portions of the Common School fund, as have not heretofore been entrusted to the several counties and shall make provision, by law, for the distribution, among the several counties, of the interest thereof.
Section 5. Reinvestment of unused interest
Section 5. If any county shall fail to demand its proportion of such interest, for Common School purposes, the same shall be reinvested, for the benefit of such county.
Section 6. Preservation of fund by counties; liability
Section 6. The several counties shall be held liable for the preservation of so much of the said fund as may be entrusted to them, and for the payment of the annual interest thereon.
Section 7. State trust funds inviolate
Section 7. All trust funds, held by the State, shall remain inviolate, and be faithfully and exclusively applied to the purposes for which the trust was created.
Is there not a dictionary in Indiana?
ARTICLE 10. Finance
Section 1. Property assessment and taxation
Section 1. (a) The General Assembly shall provide, by law, for a uniform and equal rate of property assessment and taxation and shall prescribe regulations to secure a just valuation for taxation of all property, both real and personal. The General Assembly may exempt from property taxation any property in any of the following classes:
…uniform and equal…assessment!?! This is a problem within the constitution that should, by itself, scotch our application of individual property tax. This screams for repeal.
(1) Property being used for municipal, educational, literary,
scientific, religious or charitable purposes;
(2) Tangible personal property other than property being held
for sale in the ordinary course of a trade or business,
property being held, used or consumed in connection with the
production of income, or property being held as an investment;
(3) Intangible personal property.
(b) The General Assembly may exempt any motor vehicles, mobile homes, airplanes, boats, trailers or similar property, provided that an excise tax in lieu of the property tax is substituted therefore.
This is wide open; and a good reason to kill personal property tax by amendment.
Section 2. Disposition of revenue
Section 2. All the revenues derived from the sale of any of the public works belonging to the State, and from the net annual income thereof, and any surplus that may, at any time, remain in the Treasury, derived from taxation for general State purposes, after the payment of the ordinary expenses of the government, and of the interest on bonds of the State, other than Bank bonds; shall be annually applied, under the direction of the General Assembly, to the payment of the principal of the Public Debt.
I'm not sure…has this ever happened the way it was supposed to?
Section 5. State debt
Section 5. No law shall authorize any debt to be contracted, on behalf of the State, except in the following cases: to meet casual deficits in the revenue; to pay the interest on the State Debt; to repel invasion, suppress insurrection, or, if hostilities be threatened, provide for the public defense.
Deficits in revenue is not really the same as deficits in desired spending.
Section 6. CountiesSection 6. No county shall subscribe for stock in any incorporated company, unless the same be paid for at the time of such subscription; nor shall any county loan its credit to any incorporated company, nor borrow money for the purpose of taking stock in any such company; nor shall the General Assembly ever, on behalf of the State, assume the debts of any county, city, town, or township; nor of any corporation whatever.
Colts, Pacers…lots of corporations would oppose what this clearly says.
Section 12. State as stockholder in banks; prohibition
Section 12. The State shall not be a stockholder in any bank; nor shall the credit of the State ever be given, or loaned, in aid of any person, association or corporation; nor shall the State become a stockholder in any corporation or association.
Read that part in red a few times. Let it roll around in your head. The Colts would be miffed, but is would wipe out an awful lot of our troubles.
ARTICLE 15., Section 4. Every person elected or appointed to any office under this Constitution, shall, before entering on the duties thereof, take an oath or affirmation, to support the Constitution of this State, and of the United States, and also an oath of office.
So not only are cops under the authority of constitutions, but so are, by oath and law, every constitutional office holder.
They must obey. Simple as that.

We can't expect to get what we've never even asked for. And we have never even suggested that our politicians should obey written laws, as written. We've never expected them to hold themselves to any limits at all, let alone written laws simply as written and intended.
We know that you and I can't get away with "interpreting" speed limits or income tax rules, but we somehow think it's OK that politicians "interpret" our rights away.
What're we thinking?
Well, enough's enough. We've seen the light, right?
Constitutions were most definitely meant to be obeyed as written. If something's unclear, politicians can clarify them by amendment. If politicians don't like the constitutions at all they can legally scrap them and write new ones.
So what we intend to do is very simple, though it's never been done before in the USA at the individual/citizen level. It had been done once by state governments (the Kentucky Resolution and Virginia Resolution of 1799), but not by anybody since:
Basically, we're taking the U.S. Constitution and its Bill of Rights, as they're written, to every branch of federal government, particularly the Supreme Court, to demand that our leaders simply obey written law as written.
We demand that our government become legit. The only real issues to resolve are:
1. What first? I suggest we start with the Indiana Common School system. It's badly broken, as you know. But you may not know that the law would fix it.
2. By when? I am open to 2012 as the target date for total compliance with the law at both state and federal levels. That gives us a couple of election cycles and more than enough time. My only concern is that it's giving politicians too much time…
How about 2010?
Let's Just Do It.

The Fifth Elephant
(Discworld Novel 24)
'Precisely balanced . . . a cracking comic thriller' The Times
The Discworld is very much like our own - if our own were to consist of a flat planet balanced on the back of four elephants which stand on the back of a giant turtle, that is . . .
'Well, he thought, so this is diplomacy. It's lying, only for a better class of people.
They say that diplomacy is a gentle art. That mastering it is a lifetime's work. But you do need a certain inclination in that direction. It's not something you can just pick up on the job.
A few days ago Sam Vimes was a copper – an important copper, true – chief of police – but still, at his core, a policeman. But today he is an ambassador - to the mysterious, fat-rich country of Uberwald. Today, Sam Vimes is also a man on the run.
At some point during his ambassadorship, things went very wrong. It's snowing. It's freezing. And if Vimes can't make it through the forest, with only his wits and the gloomy trousers of Uncle Vanya (don't ask), there's going to be a terrible war.
There are monsters on his trail. They're bright. They're fast. They're werewolves - and they're catching up.
The Discworld novels can be read in any order but The Fifth Elephant is the fifth in the City Watch series.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY 3 APR 2000
Acclaimed British author Pratchett continues to distinguish himself from his colleagues with clever plot lines and genuinely likable characters in this first-rate addition to his long-running Discworld fantasy series (Carpe Jugulum, etc.). This time around, the inhabitants of Discworld's Ankh-Morpork have turned their attentions in the direction of Uberwald--a country rich in valuable minerals and high-quality fat deposits. (The fifth elephant, it seems, left all these when he or she crashed and burned in Uberwald at the beginning of time.) Ankh-Morpork's policeman Sam Vimes has been sent there to represent his people at a coronation--and to find the recently stolen, rock-hard and symbolically important (at least to the Dwarf population) Scone of Stone. As he tells Vimes's story (and surrounding ones), Pratchett cheerfully takes readers on an exuberant tale of mystery and invention, including the efforts of a clique of neo-Nazi werewolves to destabilize Uberwald. Along the way, he skewers everything from monarchy to fascism, as well as communism and capitalism, oil wealth and ethnic identities, Russian plays, immigration, condoms and evangelical Christianity--in short, most everything worth talking about. Not as perfect as Pratchett's Hogfather but in the same class, this novel is a heavyweight of lightness. 200,000 ad/promo; 7-city author tour. FYI: At the end of The Fifth Elephant is appended a "handy travel guide" to the "World of Terry Pratchett," including a character guide to the Discworld novels and a Discworld crossword puzzle.

Wow, just wow. A good whodunit, with some great gags thrown in to the recipe for good measure!
PunknPalace , 10/07/2012
Very, very good
Love the City Watch, my favourite Discworld characters and this is another excellent adventure. Pratchett is clearly a genius.

Biktarvy in women with HIV
Biktarvy is a new regimen in one pill containing the following anti-HIV drugs:
bictegravir – 50 mg
TAF (tenofovir alafenamide) – 25 mg
FTC (emtricitabine) – 200 mg
Of these three drugs, bictegravir is new. It belongs to a class of anti-HIV drugs called integrase inhibitors. Leading treatment guidelines in high-income countries recommend initiating combination treatment with an integrase inhibitor, as these drugs are generally well tolerated and highly effective. Integrase inhibitor combinations are also recommended for second-line use.
In the past eight years, most pivotal (phase III) clinical trials of integrase inhibitors have not had large proportions of HIV-positive women. Pharmaceutical companies have subsequently conducted trials that enrolled only women who were then given integrase inhibitor–based combination therapy.
In a trial overseen by Gilead Sciences, the manufacturer of Biktarvy, researchers in several countries recruited 470 women who were taking HIV treatment (ART) and whose viral loads were suppressed (less than 50 copies/mL) and randomly assigned them to either continue on their present regimen or to switch to Biktarvy. After 48 weeks the study found that Biktarvy was similarly effective and well tolerated as the women's other regimens. Rates of side effects in women taking Biktarvy were relatively low. There were a small number of pregnancies with no apparent ill effects of Biktarvy on the infant. However, larger studies will be needed before researchers can be certain about the safety of Biktarvy during pregnancy.
Researchers in several countries recruited women for this study (the countries are listed in decreasing order of the number of women enrolled):
The average profile of women upon entering the study was as follows:
age – 40 years
major ethno-racial groups: black – 37%; white – 36%; Asian – 21%; Hispanic – 16%
CD4+ count – 700 cells/mm3
90% of women did not have symptoms of HIV disease
eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate; an assessment of overall kidney health) – 100 mL/min
Most participants (95%) were taking one of the following single-tablet regimens:
Genvoya (elvitegravir + cobicistat + TAF + FTC)
Stribild (elvitegravir + cobicistat + TDF + FTC)
TDF (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) is the older formulation of tenofovir that can cause kidney injury and thinner bones in some people. TAF is the newer formulation of tenofovir that is generally safer.
At the 48th week of the study, the proportions of participants with an undetectable viral load (less than 50 copies/mL) were as follows:
Biktarvy – 96%
other regimens – 95%
Statistical analysis found that the effectiveness of Biktarvy was similar to the other regimens. The technical term for this is "non-inferior."
None of the participants developed resistance to the drugs in Biktarvy.
Three women stopped taking Biktarvy; they left the study and switched to other regimens.
The term adverse events refers to the unfortunate events that can sometimes occur in a clinical trial. Some of these events may be due to drug side effects, some may be caused by the underlying disease process and some may have nothing to do with the clinical trial.
According to the study protocol, women who became pregnant while taking Biktarvy were supposed to leave the study and change their regimen to one chosen by their doctor. The other women in the study who were not taking Biktarvy and who became pregnant were given a regimen chosen by the study researchers.
The pregnancies in the study were distributed as follows:
Biktarvy – five pregnancies (one live birth, two abortions and the outcome of the other two pregnancy outcomes were not yet documented)
other regimens – seven pregnancies (two live births, two miscarriages, one ongoing pregnancy and two pregnancy outcomes not yet documented)
There were no reported birth defects in either group. However, the study was not designed to assess the safety of Biktarvy during and after pregnancy. Information about Biktarvy's safety during pregnancy will take many years to accumulate. Such information will be obtained from case reports and other studies.
There were no significant differences between the regimens when it came to eGFR results. Other, more complex assessments of kidney health showed only modest improvements, particularly in women who had been previously taking the older formulation of tenofovir (TDF) and who switched to TAF (as part of Biktarvy) when they entered the study.
Other adverse events
Most adverse events reported in the study were of mild to moderate intensity. Adverse events that were judged to be related to the drugs used in the study included the following:
Biktarvy – two cases each of anemia; two cases of nausea and vomiting; one case each of headache, feeling sleepy during the daytime, diarrhea, type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, anxiety, sleeping problems, and an unspecified "emotional disorder"
other regimens – one case each of higher-than-normal levels of the waste product bilirubin in the blood, depression, and bone/joint pain
There was one death in the study, which occurred in someone who was taking a non-Biktarvy regimen. The death occurred because of complications from a severe flu.
The findings from this study suggest that Biktarvy is generally safe in HIV-positive women. However, larger studies are needed to assess the safety of Biktarvy in pregnant women. Information for such studies may take years to accumulate, as Biktarvy is new and HIV-positive women may be cautious in their use of this single-tablet regimen because of concerns about potential adverse effects on the fetus.

Victim Number 8 – Netflix Season 1 Review
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVLMIu0CsMk
There Are No Miracles
Starting to Believe
Coup De Grace
A Bullshit Theory
A Mercenary Shark
Nesting Behavior
The Easy Way or The Hard Way
Well written, tense and engrossing throughout, Victim Number 8 is a thrilling crime drama series, one that does a good job building a core mystery around its central character whilst grounding its cat-and-mouse narrative into a terror-stricken Spain. With nods toward reality and TV news reports peppered throughout, Victim Number 8 flirts with some interesting ideas, all whilst delivering twists and turns through every episode.
The story begins right at the heart of the drama. A terrorist attack in Bilbao rocks Spain. A van drives into a crowd and kills 7 people – later increased to 8 – which acts as the catalyst for what follows in the series. At the heart of this terrorist attack lies Omar, a man who finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, seemingly framed for this despite overwhelming evidence linking him to the attack. As the real culprits appear and Omar's situation complicates, the action splits between two key characters – Omar and Gaika.
While the former finds himself on the run and later forced to co-operate with the ones behind the attack, Gaika rises to prominence after his brother is killed, hit by the van early on in the first episode. As the narrative ticks by, more of his backstory is uncovered, revealing an ugly secret that acts as one of the bigger twists in the series. Although the finale is pretty dramatic, some of the best moments happen through the earlier episodes. I won't disclose too much here for spoiler purposes, but suffice to say the van isn't the last we see from terrorists attacking, with some nicely worked set pieces thrown into the 8 episodes.
Given the show originally aired in Spain last year, recaps crop up at the start of every episode and each ends with a pretty big cliffhanger. It doesn't detract from the show of course but the rigid structure each episode follows is worth bearing in mind if you intend to try and binge this one. Some of the camera work is a little shaky at times too but for the most part the production design is pretty good, given it originated on cable TV. There's a deliberate use of desaturated colours early on and some slick shots woven through the series but to be honest, this is a thriller that relies solely on its story to keep things ticking by and in that respect, Victim Number 8 does a great job.
Omar is a likable protagonist which helps and his girlfriend Edurne certainly goes through a pretty dramatic transformation across the series. Gaika does come off as a little too cliched in terms of his backstory and motivations, especially given how many shows I've watched in this genre. It's a minor gripe though in an otherwise solid cast of characters that certainly work well together.
Victim Number 8 is a solid Spanish crime thriller well worth checking out. It may not be the best in this genre, nor does it change the game and deliver anything groundbreaking, but what it does do however, is deliver a tightly woven story with a good pacing throughout to make for a really enjoyable watch. While its unlikely this will ascend to the same lofty heights La Casa De Papel has achieved, Victim Number 8 is another fine addition to the roster nonetheless.

1 thought on "Victim Number 8 – Netflix Season 1 Review"
What's the music from Victim Number 8? Please.


Ms. Libby Davies (Vancouver East, NDP): I am pleased to have the opportunity to rise in reply to the Speech from the Throne. Whatever good there might have been in the throne speech, it seems to me that it has now all been obliterated by the events of the last few days and what has happened as a result of the Auditor General's report.
The Speech from the Throne is a speech whereby the government hopes, and maybe we hope collectively as a Parliament, to give people a sense of hope about the vision of the government and what we might look forward to. That is what a Throne Speech should be about. It seems to me that the scandal that has happened in the last few days and over the last number of months is shaking the very bedrock of Canadian democracy. It has clearly pointed at the Liberal government in terms of the horrific events that have taken place with the $100 million that has been shovelled out to front firms for the Liberal Party.
We are debating the Throne Speech, but I think we have to put it in the context of what is now taking place. It is particularly ironic given the proposals from the government for addressing the democratic deficit.
The Throne Speech was disappointing for us as New Democrats. We had hoped for a clear direction and vision that the new Prime Minister would articulate for Canadians in terms of fixing some of the serious problems that we have in this country. When we look at the Throne Speech and the commitments that were made around medicare, there is not a word about Roy Romanow, about home care or helping Canadians who are aging, facing difficulties, and need to have a national home care plan.
There is not a word about prescription drugs and the fact that medicare's fastest growing expense comes from prescriptions. We have this increasing stranglehold by big pharmaceutical companies that are close to the Liberal government. Instead, we got an already promised $2 billion one time funding that is doing nothing more than helping to starve the system while privatizing it at the same time. I know that very well coming from British Columbia where Gordon Campbell, the junior partner of these federal Liberals, is carrying out his privatizing plan.
Let us look at the environment, another key concern of Canadians. It is unbelievable. The only connection to the environment in the Throne Speech was a commitment from the government to recycle its old promises, for example, repeating its 10-year-old promise to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
There was no mention of mandatory GMO labelling. I receive hundreds of e-mails from people about this very simple thing, this basic right to information of what is included in the food that we buy. There is no mention of labelling of GMOs, something that the government could easily have addressed.
There was a lot of hype about a so-called new vision and new deal for Canadian cities and local communities. The reality is that each year the infrastructure deficit in this country grows by $2 billion. What has the government promised? It is about $700 million.
Many municipalities and mayors gave a favourable response, but is that a surprise to any of us? When people have been in the desert for so long waiting for anything to come their way, it seems to me anything they can grab they will be thankful for, but if we look at the real commitments for our cities they absolutely pale in relation to what the problems are. The fact is that over the next 10 years the government will spend $3 billion less on cities than has been spent on corporate tax cuts in the last three years. That puts into context the commitment that was made.
What about housing? I am the housing spokesperson for the federal New Democrats. Many of us have worked very hard to put affordable housing back on the political agenda. It is really hard to put into words the sense of anger and despair that I have and that I know is shared by millions of Canadians when we watch programs such as we saw last night on CBC that looked at homelessness across the country. This is a wealthy country. Why is it that we still have destitute people on the streets? Why is it that we still have people who have lived for years in emergency shelters? It is because of decisions that have been made by the government. These are often passed off as individual failings, but they result from a failure of public policy.
I felt a great sense of anger when I heard that $100 million went to some phony companies and about the scandal we have been dealing with in the last few days. That $100 million would have built 4,000 new affordable housing units for Canadians who are desperately in need of housing.
To add insult to injury, the minister who was responsible for the so-called national housing framework agreement, Alfonso Gagliano, is the same guy who is now complicit in this whole scandal of shovelling money out to Liberal-friendly firms. What an outrage. Here we see the real sharp contrast of what is taking place in this country. The government is taking care of its corporate friends and its Liberal pals while Canadians are out on the street homeless with no place to go.
In Vancouver, British Columbia, thousands of students hit the streets on February 4, as they did across the country, in a national day of action to protest the government's pathetic response to post-secondary education and its failure to recognize that the real problem in lack of accessibility and rising tuition is the massive retreat of public funding that has been engineered by the federal government over the last decade. That is where the blame lies. Simply raising the loan limit for students is quite an outrageous and insulting thing to do. What about the greatest deficit that exists in our country, the social deficit? This is something that I am concerned about, and it is something that is a real priority in my riding of Vancouver East.
He raised the question of whether the Prime Minister would tackle the social deficit with as much gusto, energy and commitment as he has tackled the deficit when he was finance minister? In reality, $100 billion went to corporations but no money went toward the social deficit. Today in British Columbia 125 organizations are rallying to stop the arbitrary time limit on welfare that was caused by the government. These are only some of the issues that should have been addressed in the Throne Speech.

Softball: Ohio splits doubleheader after quick turnaround trip to Dayton
By Nick Kairys
Ohio started off slowly against Dayton by recording two hits in game one, but jumped out early in game two and finished with 12 hits.
It took awhile for the Ohio bats to get going Wednesday night.
Which is fair, however, considering the Bobcats went from a grueling doubleheader in Athens on Tuesday night against Ohio State, and turned around to travel to Dayton the very next day for another doubleheader starting in the early afternoon.
After Ohio's two-hit outing in the opening game of the series against the Flyers resulted in a 1-0 loss, the Bobcats garnered enough energy to string together 12 hits in the second game to beat Dayton, 9-4.
Danielle Stiene stepped into the circle with two outs and the bases empty in the bottom of the third inning, looking to build on her solid pitching performance to that point, as well as close the door on Dayton's third inning.
But following two singles, Stiene was rattled.
She walked the next batter to load the bases and then gave up a Krista Gustafson ground ball that couldn't be corralled at shortstop. That lone RBI was all it took for the Flyers to hold on for a win.
As for the Bobcats, besides a single from Taylor Saxton to lead off the game and a run-out bunt by Deanna Cole in the third, Ohio was lifeless from the plate.
Without any help from her offense, Stiene was still formidable, though, only giving up one earned run and five hits in six innings pitched. However, Stiene was unable to get the run support she needed as Ohio fell 1-0.
{{tncms-asset app="editorial" id="b7f7baa2-0718-11e6-a577-8f96c69e947b"}}
Ohio Bats Come Alive
It didn't take long, though, for the Bobcats to get their mojo back in the second game.
Saxton pumped life back into the Bobcats by leading off the game with a walk. On the next pitch after reaching base, she broke for second and slid in safely. That would be steal No. 30 on the season for Saxton, who would record another steal in the second inning.
After back-to-back Flyer errors, Hutchinson finished off the scoring in the first by reaching home easily, pushing Ohio's lead up to 2-0.
The lead gave the team a much-needed breath of fresh air after spending the majority of its time in previous games trailing
In the fifth inning, a Madison Claytor single, paired with a Dayton throwing error, allowed two more Bobcats to score, which opened up the lead to 6-3, giving the Bobcats their winning runs.
Ohio added two more runs in the sixth and a lone run in the seventh to pad the lead, but it was nothing but insurance.
Three pitchers were available for the Bobcats in the game, but Morgan Geno was awarded the victory, making it her first career win at Ohio.
The win in the second game broke a four game losing streak for the Bobcats, who had lost six of their last seven games heading into the nightcap of the doubleheader.
Three of the team's losses on the losing skid were by scores of 1-0.

The future of automation is not so distant
By William Aja
Channel Chat
It sometimes feels like a common theme in the industry is to simply keep things going by implementing what was done before. If it works, why bother fixing it? New projects are continually built on existing standards, most of which are dog eared with problems. With financial or management pressures, there is a tendency to push on regardless of planned fixes and improvements. The start of every project begins the familiar process of counting I/O, selecting vendors, laying out programmable logic controller chassis, and distributing requests for quotes. In an extended blink of an eye, you are commissioning a system built on less-than-perfect standards, inheriting the same quirks as previous systems.
The same conversations repeat during bid review or kickoff meetings when someone points out inconsistencies or outdated standards. The typical response is "We meant to fix that, but we ran out of time," or "That's on the to-do list." Is the brand-new plant really new, or does it have the functionality of a system from the '90s, barely utilizing the latest technology?
As previous Channel Chat articles have pointed out, these are side effects of aggressively downsizing technical staff. Technology changes seem to be accelerating, and the past few years have brought technical advances that have breathed new life into automation groups and sparked great discussions around what the future holds. There is still a lot of work to be done.
We tend to attract very passionate engineers, and one of them summed up the situation perfectly, pointing out it can be frustrating to see bigger technological jumps and more advanced systems available in grocery stores than in the automation industry. Passengers have been tracked on every commercial airline for 30 years using barcoded boarding passes, yet many manufacturers do not track raw material additions to their multimillion dollar batches! People continually draw attention to the increasingly wider disparity between consumer and industrial technology. There are concerns about the leading edge becoming "bleeding edge," but the benefits often outweigh the risks. As with safety systems, risks can be designed out or at least mitigated.
Virtualization is a great example. When it first became a buzzword, there was a great deal of pushback. Every application got its own box, and that was the law, no exceptions. Early adopters saw the benefits, and news spread like wildfire. As supervisory control and data acquisition, manufacturing execution systems, and historian capabilities increased, so did the need for processing power, and virtualization was the perfect answer.
Thin and zero clients soon followed, and the fear of something new was replaced with the realization of the power of virtualized infrastructures. Companies now manage sites globally from central locations and deploy engineering resources via remote connections without travel. The daunting and, frankly, scary tasks of patch deployment and operating system upgrades are now easier and centralized. Replacing broken or failed operator and engineering workstations is as simple as connecting power, video, and network cables.
Virtualization is now commonplace in most specification documents, and many are asking what is next. Some say industrial technology pales in comparison to consumer technology—but why is that? Is it because consumer technology is not robust enough and thoroughly tested for the industry, or is it a recursive cycle of accepting status quo or technology advancements that are less than innovative? Things like faster scan rates, increased memory, tougher security, and unified communication protocols are great, but they are evolutionary not revolutionary.
The next big thing is waiting to happen. The technology exists, and it is our job as automation professionals to help define what is next, push the industry, innovate, and stay on the leading edge of these advances while pushing automation vendors to reinvent their product portfolios.
Advancements like virtualized controllers and end-to-end mobility solutions are not only being asked for daily by the industry, but they are easily feasible with existing technology. So push boundaries, adopt new technologies, and never accept the status quo simply because it has always been done that way. The success of our industry depends on it.
