It's all projection with the right: two examples
It's a staple, and I believe accurate view on the left that right-wingers are big on projection. They actively work to restrict voting rights, but complain that Dems are engaging in voter fraud. They wreck the lives of workers while accusing Democrats of destroying the working class. They complain about being persecuted for religion while doing their best to gut everyone else's religious freedom. Herein, two examples
First, Missouri Senator Josh Hawley. He's acquired a reputation as the Great Dark Hope of the religious right, though he doesn't seem that different to me than every other theocratic authoritarian swarming around since the 1980s. In an article for Christianity Today, Hawley argues that European and American society have been shaped too much by the views of the heretic Pelagius that we can achieve salvation through individual effort, which is the basis for Western individualism (I'm not an expert on Pelagius, but I find this argument tenuous). "But here is the irony," Hawley writes. "Though the Pelagian vision celebrates the individual, it leads to hierarchy. Though it preaches merit, it produces elitism. Though it proclaims liberty, it destroys the life that makes liberty possible." Because of Pelagius, liberals believe (to quote one Supreme Court decision) that "At the heart of liberty is the right to define one's own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life."
Well, yes, the search for God or meaning without God, should be up to each individual. But for Hawley, that leads us to the paradox he complains about: if freedom means having choices, "then people with the most choices are the most free. And that means the rich." And the richer and more successful you are, the more God must love you. Pelagian individualism teaches us to celebrate the wealthy and the powerful which is why we're now a hierarchy run by the elite where people at the bottom have crappy lives. We need to rebuild a culture that celebrates the working class and offers opportunity to all.
This is standard Republican boilerplate: an elitist (he's a banker's son whose education costs ran to half a million, according to this New Republic piece) ranting about elites and glorifying the little people. But then why is Hawley a Republican? The party does everything it can to gut protections for workers, protect payday lenders, make it harder for students to get out of student-loan debt, even from scam schools… I'm not really seeing a lot of support for the working class there. Hawley says he wants insurance companies not to discriminate against pre-existing conditions but that's not the policy he supports. Nor does he seem to care that a lot of regular Americans are pro-choice and pro-immigration.
And his arguments about the evils of individualism (I suspect Hawley would be happier with anti-life) is bullshit. Yes, unfettered individualism can led to a lot of people getting screwed over, but hierarchy doesn't just arise from that. A lot of hierarchy is directly opposed to individualism, a belief that people's place in life is assigned by birth, by class, by caste. The divine right of kings. Aristocracy. Jim Crow. Slavery. The belief women simply shouldn't be treated as equals. All anti-individualism and all of them reinforcing hierarchy. And as these things still have support on the right (Former Supreme Court Justice Rehnquist once wrote about the positive benefits of the divine right of kings compared to democracy), again, why is Hawley a Republican? He's in a party that supports precisely the things he claims to hate.
The we have projectionist #2, right-wing blogger Christopher Cantrell. In a recent post, he argues women don't belong in the "public square" because they whine so much. When men disagree, they trade insults and biting wit; when women are insulted, they complain about it, saying someone's a racist or a rape apologist. How wimpy! Women will destroy the public square with their whiny demands for safe spaces!
First off, calling someone on their racist or sexist (or homophobic/transphobic/disabled-phobic or whatever) isn't weak and isn't about hurt feelings. Discrimination is a moral failing and a wrong, and it's perfectly justifiable — and I think necessary — to label it. Of course, a lot of modern conservatism celebrates the right to be a racist, sexist shitbag; scumbag conservative Dave Daubenmire, for example, laments that he's denied the right to say the N-word. He's not alone. So it's not surprising Cantrell gets huffy about it.
And second, conservatives do exactly what Cantrell complains about. They whine about how being criticized oppresses them. And right-wingers love the idea of safe spaces, but define it as the freedom to keep women and minorities out of the public square.
Curiously enough, I managed to refute Cantrell's bullshit without once engaging in insult. But it was tempting.

Bruce Lee, Andre Norton, Agatha Heterodyne and Cats: books read
Reading Nerds of Color's post on how Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood disrespects Bruce Lee got me curious to read about the legendary kung fu star. Fortunately the library had BRUCE LEE: A Life by Matthew Polly, chronicling, Bruce's story from hyperkinetic mixed-race child actor (his nickname as a kid was "Never sits still") to teenage brawler and street punk to cha-cha fanatic to gung fu master, and all of that before he began his climb to become Hollywood's first Chinese superstar. Martial arts movies and Asian-American actors are so much more common now (though obviously Hollywood's still solidly white-dominated) that it was a shock to realize how out there Lee's ambitions seemed at the time, and how much discrimination he had to deal with (one newspaper article on Lee actually worked "Rotsa Ruck" into the headline). Nor did he have it easy in Hong Kong, where initial enthusiasm for the hometown boy's success was later shaded by concerns Lee's biracial heritage meant he wasn't Chinese enough. Very good.
TREY OF SWORDS by Andre Norton (striking cover by Charles Mikolaycak) is set in Escore roughly during the events of Warlock of the Witch World. The characters are a stock type in this series: Yonan and Crytha, both mixed-race, both orphans, both uncertain where they fit in and Yonan crushing on an oblivious Crytha. The first two sections of the book involve Yonan discovering the magical Sword of Ice (or vice versa — the Sword chooses it's wielders) and alongside an ancient warrior traveling back in time to avert one of the Dark's great triumphs in Escore's past. The effects of this in the present aren't really dwelt with, except Crytha, who has just enough untapped power to be vulnerable to the Dark's control, encounters some of the leftover villains of that battle and has to choose her own destiny. I can't say this really grabbed me but that's partly because I read it while I was surfeited with dog care and unable to focus. It does have an unusual end for a Witch World book in that Crytha doesn't come to return Yonan's feelings, and chooses a life alone to study her craft.
GIRL GENIUS: The Second Journey of Agatha Heterodyne: The Incorruptible Library by Phil and Kaja Foglio continues Agatha's adventures as the threat of the mind-controlling Other looms over Europe and Agatha and her crew penetrate the catacombs under Paris in search of a McGuffin that … well, actually I'm not quite sure. There are so many characters, plot threads and character bits that I found it impossible to keep everything straight. It was still amusing ("I write love poetry about cheese.") and I still look forward to the next volume, but it wasn't very coherent.
YOUR CAT: The Owner's Manual: Hundreds of Secrets, Surprises and Solutions for Raising a Happy, Healthy Cat by Dr. Marty Becker didn't actually have any surprises as it covers the same material as the other cat books I've read recently. Which isn't a criticism of the book — if it had been the first one I picked up, I'd have liked it fine — but I wound up skimming most of it. The chapter on cat training may come in useful though.

Amicus curiae: horror movies viewed
From the early 1960s on into the 1970s, Amicus Productions was known as the British horror-film company that wasn't Hammer Films. Unlike Hammer, which favored period pieces, Amicus films were almost entirely contemporary. They also liked anthologies, one of the company heads believing it was easier to sustain a horror premise in a sprint rather than a full-length work. As I like their films, I picked up a three-DVD set with some of my Christmas money.
ASYLUM (1972) is the film I really wanted in the set. Based like most of their anthologies on Robert Bloch's short stories, this opens with Robert Powell as a psychiatrist applying for a post at a mental hospital. Unfortunately the doctor who hired him is now insane, having fabricated an entirely new personality and history; his replacement (Patrick Magee) offers to hire Powell provided he's sharp enough to identify which of four patients is the doctor. This leads to interviews with Barry Morse, Charlotte Rampling, Barbara Perkins and Herbert Lom, after which Powell thinks he's identified the doctor — but has he? All the Amicus anthologies interwove the stories with the framing sequence, but the frame here is the best; Peter Cushing and Brett Eklund are among the cast. "Run — hide from the truth like the idiot downstairs."
AND NOW THE SCREAMING STARTS (1973) was a rare Amicus period piece, set in 1795 as newlyweds Stephanie Beacham and Ian Ogilvie arrive at the latter's country mansion. The idyllic honeymoon soon goes south as a homicidal hand and an eyeless ghost keep appearing to Beacham, despite which everyone insists there is absolutely nothing to worry about (the hand deals with those who try to tell the truth). This starts slow but gets more effective as it goes along, and it's well cast (Peter Cushing, Herbert Lom and Patrick Magee round out the cast). However it unpleasantly embodies the woman-as-property attitude toward rape: Ogilvie's grandfather raped one man's virgin bride so Beacham must be violated in retribution. "That's twice you've raised your hand to me today — I'll see to it that it doesn't happen again."
Amicus billed THE BEAST MUST DIE (1974) as a horror murder mystery with a thirty-second break before the climax for us to guess who among the cast is a werewolf. I don't think that's actually such a startling idea, as lots of horror movies have a mystery element (both Howling V and Doctor X have a list of suspects who could be the movie's monster), but it works here: Calvin Lockhart plays a millionaire game hunter who's decided tracking and killing a werewolf would be the ultimate challenge ("A creature no hunter has ever faced before."), so he's invited a number of individuals linked to suspicious killings, including lycanthropy expert Peter Cushing. Fun, even though there's no real way to deduce who the wolf turns out to be. "Tonight, the beast must die — and it will."
This seemed like a good week to rewatch another of their Bloch anthologies THE HOUSE THAT DRIPPED BLOOD (1970), which studio co-head Max Rosenberg says was their second most successful film ever, which he credits to his choice of title (the director's preference was Death and the Maiden). Investigating the disappearance of horror star Jon Pertwee from his country estate, a cop learns that the house has a history of unpleasant incidents: thriller author Denholm Elliott becoming convinced his latest villain has come to life, Peter Cushing and Joss Ackland becoming obsessed with a waxwork figure of Salome (as you can see from the poster, Cushing quite loses his head over her) and Christopher Lee warning governess Nyree Dawn Porter that there's a reason he's so abusive to his little daughter. And then there's Pertwee's fate … TYG bought this for me while we were dating, and found 1970s fashion ("Purple paisley shirts, nooooo!") scarier than anything else in the movie, but it's actually quite entertaining. "There is little I don't know about the subject of the supernatural."

There will be blood! And it was mine!
No, I didn't have an accident, I finally donated blood on Thursday.
While I'd arranged my schedule to account for the wiped-out feeling a double donation of red blood cells gives me, this trip still threw me off my game. There was a rash on my left arm when they were ready to stick the needle in — probably a reaction to something on the blood-pressure cuff — and as a result they decided to use my right arm. The veins weren't as good, so they slowed down the system and I got out 30 to 40 minutes later than I normally would have. Then I had to walk across the parking lot and almost to the street to call a Lyft because the Red Cross is in a cell-phone dead zone.
But it's done! And with a double dose, I won't be ready to give again until May, so being wiped out the rest of the day (the only thing I got done was a post on Death-Ray Mirror of Dr. Mabuse on Atomic Junkshop) is worth it to cut back the number of appointments. And overall this was a productive week. That's good, as I'll be starting back on Leaf articles next week, so there'll be less time for other stuff.
I rewrote Death Is Like a Box of Chocolates which I'll submit to the writing group in a week or two. Now that the McGuffin is a box of Stuckey's praline candies, I'll leave it up to the group whether the title still works or if I need an alternative (It Flutters on the Soul would be my backup).
I finished Chapter Six of Sexist Myths and went on to incorporate a number of bookmarked web pages into the book. I'll jump back and start on Chapter Four next week (it's much rougher so I figured I'd be more able to tackle it if I got a couple of other chapters under my best).
I went over the rewrite of Fiddler's Black I did last week and it looks good. Next week I'll start looking for markets.
I completed two more chapters of Impossible Takes a Little Longer. Despite all the changes from the last draft, it's flowing very well. A big part of that is the first person voice works so much better than third-person did, conveying much more of the intensity. I'm on track to get to Chapter Eighteen by the end of the month, which was my plan. However it's shaping up to be very short for a novel length work. Then again, so did Southern Discomfort and it's now a comfortable 90,000. Fingers crossed.
I finished a first draft of Death's Jester though that's definitely not the final title. It involves a couple of teenage schoolgirls in 1960s London getting entangled in a supernatural struggle. However the ending is really rushed, because I was bone-weary this morning and I couldn't think very well, so I just wrapped it up all of a sudden. There are some bits in the ending I like, but I may revisit it next week and mess around with other options.
And I gave blood which is something I take pride in doing as much as possible. So yay.

Controversial golden agers and other writing links
SF editorial legend John W. Campbell has become controversial in recent years. Cory Doctorow explains why. A friend of mine who showed this post to me added that it's not just a matter of being bad personally: as the editor supreme, Campbell shaped and influenced what hundreds of writer got published. His ideas matter.
And then there's Isaac Asimov. I'd heard about his fondness for grabbing or slapping women's butts, but it was worse than I realized, At the link a good argument Asimov was not just "the product of his times."
Several famous guitar riffs in classic songs are not in the sheet music used to register copyright. That could make them public domain. And lots of stuff made in 1924, such as Tarzan and the Ant Men and Rhapsody in Blue is now public domain.

"Male–male friendships are valued onscreen because, in addition to fleshing out male characters, they establish that men aren't solely emotionally dependent on women, that they have lives and interests of their own. Female–female friendships are devalued for precisely the same reason, particularly in genre shows: they encourage the radical notion that a man, even a romantically suitable one, might not be the most important thing in a woman's life. " — Foz Meadows on representation and also how diversity in fiction favors white women.

The Rise of Skywalker and the Redemption of Sith Lords
Fair warning, this post will have slight spoilers for THE RISE OF SKYWALKER.
Some years back, Orson Scott Card, in a review of one of the Star Wars films, complained about Darth Vader's appearance as a "force ghost" alongside Obiwan and Yoda at the climax of Return of the Jedi. By what logic has Darth Vader redeemed himself when all he did was turn on his master and trusted friend, Palpatine? Did that one moment of heroism when he saved Luke in Return's climax?
The same point could be made about Kylo: he chose his dark side, loyally served the First Order, murdered his father. Do his actions after Rey leads him back to the light really justify his redemption?
I wrote about this some years back and I don't disagree with what I said then. But since I saw Rise of Skywalker I've been thinking about redemption in terms of Rabbi Danya Rutenberg's breakdown: God absolves us of sin if we ask, the victim forgives us if they chose and we do the work of our own redemption.
To put that into a Star Wars context, as I said in my previous post on redemption I accept that despite all the horrible things Anakin and Kylo did (let's not forget Anakin's body count in the prequel trilogy is high), absolution for sin is possible. In a Christian context, there's nobody so evil that they can't attain redemption by turning to God. I can buy that something equivalent applies with Force ghosts.
Does that obligate Leia to forgive Anakin after his death? No, it doesn't. She might — saving Luke and helping defeat Palpatine certainly counts for something — but Darth Vader still tortured her and blew up Alderan, her homeworld. If she doesn't want to forgive him, or to forgive Kylo for killing Han, she's within her rights. Getting into Heaven or Force Heaven doesn't mean your crimes didn't happen.
Did Kylo and Anakin redeem themselves by their actions? If they'd survived their final battles should the good guys treat them as trustworthy? Put them on trial for crimes against humanity? Suspected them of shifting alliances for their own ends?
All of these are possible options, depending how the writer shapes the story and stacks the deck. I'd be inclined to say that yes, they still have a lot of work to do: the Rebellion would be perfectly justified putting Darth Vader on trial for his crimes, though considering his final actions as a factor in sentencing. Or if there's no actual punishment, Darth goes off and finds some way to balance the scales.
This is not a deal-breaker for me. I'm okay with both movies settling for one simple act of heroism to fix anything: movies are a dramatic medium so using a single moment as a turning point works for me dramatically. But if this were something longer form (TV, print, comics) where the creators can take their time, I think it would work better if they did.

The setting is the story: two examples
In his various books on writing, Orson Scott Card says the core of a story is usually one of four things: Character, Question, Setting or Plot. Both CRAZY RICH ASIANS and AIRPORT, which I read earlier this month, strike me as examples of books where the setting is the essence of the story.
In a setting story, we start with our entry into the world — the milieu of the super-rich of Singapore in Kevin Kwan's Crazy Rich Asians, a bustling international U.S. airport in Arthur Hailey's Airport. We end when we leave. The story doesn't focus so much on the character arcs or the plot as telling us about the setting: how things work, why things happen the way they do, what's going on behind the scenes. Both books are info-dumpy; both books wander away from the main characters and the main plot to show us the setting. That would be flaws if the plot or the protagonists' character arcs were the center of the story, but they aren't.
In Crazy Rich Asians, the nominal plot is a traditional romance one: can a poor-but-honest girl (Rachel, an economics professor) convince her boyfriend's (Nick) fabulously wealth family that she's not a gold-digger? Can she cope when jealous exes start sharpening their knives and setting out to humiliate her? The book starts when the relationship intersects Nick's world: some of his Singapore friends spot the couple together, snap some photos and the gossip mill soon gets word to his mother, Eleanor. She despises American born Chinese, and would much sooner Nick marry a girl from a good, Singapore family.
The heart of the book, though, is the setting. Kwan introduces us to Singapore culture: slang, food, neighborhoods, customs and schools, which I found interesting (it's not a place I know much about). And we get the time-honored fictional fixation of OMG, Look How Rich These People Are (you can find the same thing in The Count of Monte Cristo). Characters constantly drop designer names. We get detailed descriptions of their trips to Paris, or rides on jets bigger than Air Force One, spectacular jewelry massive yachts, insanely over-the-top bachelor/bachelorette events, huge mansions, someone bringing in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to sing at their wedding … This is the kind of thing that normally bores me to tears, but the Singapore setting helped keep it interesting for 200-300 pages. Unfortunately the novel is 500 pages and it wound up being a slog.
The book ends when Rachel and Nick make it through the family gauntlet and leave Singapore. It's also another info-dump as we learn a shit-ton about Rachel's paternal family in mainland China (setting up Book Two, China Rich Girlfriend).
Airport starts with Lincoln Airport struggling to cope with a massive snowfall. Planes are delayed, passengers are pissy, everyone's under stress. We soon meet Mel, the chief of operations, who alongside his right hand, Tanya, is struggling to deal with closed runways, a plane that's frozen in place, and angry complaints from a nearby neighborhood about planes overhead (airspace is to crowded to stay away). Mel's personal arc — his marriage is collapsing, he and Tanya are contemplating an affair — plays a role in the book, as does his brother Kevin (an air-traffic controller contemplating suicide due to stress) and Mel's brother-in-law Vern (having an affair with a stewardess). But these are just the spine on which Hailey hangs the meat of the book, how airports and airlines work.
We get details of staff burnout, stewardesses slipping miniature drink bottles into their purse to stock their bars at home, how airlines handle pregnant stewardesses (back in the 1960s when this came out, they'd pay for the maternity care, then arrange an adoption), how you clear a snowy runway, conflicts between homeowners and nearby airports, the financial struggle to keep the airport equal to the boom in air travel, a discussion of airports of the future (that part didn't age well), how stowaways sneak on board. Even the characters come with info-dump backstories that tell us more than we need to know — it's like they're another piece of equipment at the airport. The ending is Mel and Tanya leaving for dinner at her apartment while the snow finally eases up.
This worked better for me than Crazy Rich Asians because while the details did get to be more than I wanted to know, the various subplots do keep things moving a little faster. And it is an interesting time capsule back to the days when cockpits and business meetings were full of tobacco smoke, airlines serve high-quality delicious meals to passengers, abortion is talked about in whispers and someone can walk right onto a plane to give a passenger an item they forgot when they packed (there's also a discussion about whether it's time to tell passengers not to bring guns on board).

Scooby-Doo, Smash and Robert Bloch: books read
SCOOBY DOO TEAM-UP Vol. 2 by Sholly Fisch, Dario Brizuela and Scott Jeralds continues in the spirit of V1, except broadening the range: rather than sticking to DC superheroes, they time travel back to the "modern stone age" of the Flintstones, forward to the age of the Jetsons, then encounters with Superman Jonny Quest, Secret Squirrel and Harley Quinn. A lot of the fun is the in-jokes ("I'm glad you kids won't be here for breakfast — Barney keeps trying to steal my cereal.") so the weakest installment is with Secret Squirrel — he simply doesn't have enough of a history to contribute much material. Second weakest is Superman, because while funny, the kids really don't affect the plot any. Still, a pleasure to read.
SMASH: Trial by Fire by Chris A. Bolton is a graphic novel in which pre-teen Andrew accidentally acquires the powers of the world's mightiest hero when the villainous Magus' attempt to steal the powers of the Defender goes slightly awry. The results as Andrew struggles to live up to his new powers are funny, but the art got too confusing in the action scenes.
THE BEST OF ROBERT BLOCH is a collection of short stories ranging from Yours Truly Jack the Ripper (which Bloch himself considers somewhat overrated), to the pastiche The Man Who Collected Humor the gentle humor of All on a Golden Afternoon (easily his gentlest mockery of psychiatry) to the utopian World Timers and the computer-terrorism story The Oracle. Not all A-list — The Learning Maze is a tedious Western Union — but overall excellent. The cover comes from Bloch's Hugo-winner That Hellbound Train, a funny but pointed story about our inability to know how good we have it.

We had a wonderful Valentines meal. The food and service was excellent and the staff made us feel important without being intrusive. the Red Rose and chocolates we a bonus.
Friendly, helpful (not over attentive) staff. Nice ambience.
Excellent meal and great atmosphere. Enjoyable.
Food was awesome and the staff were amazing. Will definitely be coming back!!
Lovely atmosphere, great food, nice attention to detail. Happy diners!
Great food and service. Would recommend the restaurant and will definitely be going back. Loved the decor too.
Nice pub in Ferrymead. Friendly staff and nice ambiance, lovely on a sunny evening. I've been here a few times - all you can eat ribs on Tuesday night is great, although I don't need all you can eat as the first serve is enough! Most recently I got the pork belly which was a bit disappointing. The actual pork belly was nice, but the rest of the meal was quite plain. Overall I recommend it though and will be back!
Our meals were all delicious and the service was great. Very nice private booths and great entertainment. I would thoroughly recommend The Good Home Ferrymead and will be back to dine again.
Had dinner before doing the Monday quiz. Lovely food and staff great, as always.
Great restaurant. Interior is fantastic, well balanced between the restaurant and bar components. Staff all very friendly. Food arrived promptly and was delicious. My partner and I both ordered steak, and each was just slightly over cooked for what we each asked for, but still nice and tender.
Best to check out for yourself. If we had not dined first table because of reviews we would have missed great service and meal. Feedback can lead to great changes if needed. Thankyou for your friendly and efficient service and great food.
The decor is so lovely and relaxing, lots of areas and options, we chose a large comfortable booth which easily fit our family group of 6 adults and 4 children. There was good menu selection, and I really enjoyed my steak meal, it was perfectly cooked and very tender. The burgers also looked awesome. We will definitely go again.
My highlight was the environment they have created for us to be in, it was the perfect antidote to a busy day at work.
Fantastic meals! Staff are extremely friendly too, overall great service! They also have a kids playroom if you thinking of having a quiet dinner with your little ones, highly recommend!
Lovely decor. Just like dining at home. Very friendly helpful staff. Unfortunately the food was dissapointing.
Nice meal. Great pub food. Had the meal before quiz on Monday night so a lovely evening out. Staff were great as always.
Our experience was very good. We were ushered to our table promptly and our drinks order was delivered promptly as well. Our meals were very nice - I had the chicken cordon bleu and the chicken was delicious. My only problem was I couldn't identify the 'seasonal vegetables' apart from the carrots Overall we enjoyed dining there and will probably return with friends when it is a bit busier.
Delicious food, and amazing service! Will definitely be back, highly recommend.
Loved the food, especially the crispy pork belly bao and the fries dipped in truffle butter. Great service too!
Had a fantastic meal. One couple shared the platter OMG amazing. Would highly recommend this restaurant for dining.
Really amazing service and food! Love how the menu wasn't overwhelming and easy to navigate.
Delightful food, highly recommend this restaurant for its soft furnishings, relaxing atmosphere and great acoustics for dining conversations. We will definitely be going back!
Fantastic service up there with the best. Friendly and helpful.
Staff are always so helpful and friendly.
Another wonderful night at Good Home. Great food and they looked after us well .

Today's Chronicle reports that the SF Transit Effectiveness Project plan was approved by the MTA board. This means that the plan can proceed over the next two years.
For details on how the plan affects the line you ride, please look at the summary on the SFTEP website. Rescue Muni supported the plan as amended, but of course we will watching the MTA closely as they implement the plan over the next couple of years, particularly as decisions are made on how to prioritize transit on major corridors citywide.
This entry was posted on Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008 at 7:19 am	and is filed under Muni Service, SFTEP. You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed. You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.
after months of wasted energy discovering that the major trunk lines carry the majority of riders, Muni will officially strip local routes to make up the structural driver shortage? As opposed to the present where routes are shortchanged randomly. This??? is progress. Detail hounds will note that very little of this study was spent on stop signs, traffic light preempts, vending passes more conveniently, or even something as simple as posting a traffic control officer @ 4th/King to faccilitate LRV's at the expense of autos.

Premier League: Everton to break derby rot
Peter Nurse / April 7, 2018
It's Derby day in the Premier League, with two mouthwatering clashes lined up for the viewing public.
First off is the Merseyside version, with Everton hosting the neighbours from across Stanley Park, Liverpool.
The red half of the city have tended to have the bragging rights of late, with Everton's last victory in this fixture occurring in October 2010.
Liverpool are clearly still the better side, but the fixture list has conspired against them. They come off an enthralling Champions League tie against Manchester City in which their midfield players, in particular, had to work so hard. Throw in a couple of key injuries and the return Champions League fixture next week and it's very doubtful the Reds will be at full strength.
Everton, keen to end this derby drought, are likely to tear into their opponents (yellow/red cards should also be considered), and we at Lap of the Odds think the around 3/1 on offer for a home win offers value.
The second match sees Manchester United traveling to the Etihad Stadium to take on champions-elect Manchester City.
City can win the Premier League title this evening in record time if they collect the three points. But they too have come off a very difficult European match and are likely to rest players ahead of the key return fixture.
They face an United side with little else to play for, apart from making sure they are not embarrassed by their neighbours. In Jose Mourinho, United have a manager that can set up a defensive structure better than most, and we think the most likely result at the Etihad is a draw.
Everton to beat Liverpool, 1 pt, at 29/10, SkyBet
Manchester derby to end in a draw, 1 pt, at 3/1, Betfair

The clocks have sprung ahead, which means a new season adds new maintenance tasks on your commercial property to-do list. Similar to residential maintenance, the spring commercial checklist typically involves cleaning and beautifying the property to wipe away the cooped-up feel following a long, cold winter. Additionally, there are quite a few areas that will simply need a checkup to make sure they're still up to snuff after the havoc Mother Nature may have wreaked. And last, it's an absolute must to get warm-weather based mechanicals in working order after having sat unused through the cold spell.
With so many things to address, are you floundering on where to start first? If so, try our handy task list to help lead the way.
Wash windows. Tenants will be craving the spring and summer sunshine after a stretch of cabin fever, so make sure to let the light in. Clean all of the building's windows, which may be marred from snow, ice, and debris. If applicable, swap out storm windows for screens, or tend to screens that stay up all season. Mend holes and defects, or replace the screens altogether.
Clean down low. Floors take a beating during winter weather with all the snow, ice, salt, and other muck to make its way indoors. Do a deep cleaning on flooring, carpeting, and door mats to freshen up the space. This may require hard surfaces to be stripped, scrubbed, shined, or waxed; and carpets and rugs to be shampooed. Conducting this level of floor maintenance every spring can extend the life of your flooring, and save you money by avoiding costly repairs and replacements.
Sanitize the restrooms. While you or your janitorial staff may be carrying out daily cleaning of the commercial restrooms, a seasonal deep cleaning is highly recommended. Take the extra time to tackle germs and debris that have built up in hard to reach places, sanitizing all surfaces, floors, fixtures, and walls. This kind of cleaning is also a good opportunity to inspect for leaks, cracks, and other minor issues that could turn into major repairs.
Go green. Winter made a mess outside, so landscaping needs to be cleaned up, too. Improve the first impression of your property's outside space by raking up debris, planting new grass where patches have burnt out, trimming trees and bushes, and adding perennials and annuals to provide a pop of pretty color. Additionally, inspect sidewalks and parking lots, cleaning up litter that may have collected and repairing any holes or cracks that could become safety hazards.
Look up. Inspect the roof for damage caused by high winds, heavy snow, ice dams, or building age.
Stay dry. People think of spring as the wet season, but don't ignore the water that winter delivers. Check the property for standing water, leakage from gutters and roofs, cracks in the foundation, water spots in the ceiling, and eroded landscaping areas that need to be regraded.
Eye up the exterior. Winter winds, snow, and rain can wear down a building's exterior, as can building age. Look for signs repair is needed, included cracks around doors and window, chipped paint, siding or masonry destruction, and hanging gutters.
Prevent pests. Bugs and rodents enjoy spring, too, and may take advantage of the season to hang out in your commercial building. Consider spraying the perimeter of your property to keep out ants, roaches, and other insects. Block off gaps, cracks, and holes where pests can creep in. And inspect for damage that pests may have already created, so that you tend to the problem before it persists.
The A/C of your heating, ventilation and air condition (HVAC) unit likely didn't see much action during the cold season. However, even though spring may still have a nip in the air, the summer heat will be here before you know it. Make sure your building's A/C is ready for the heat wave by doing the following.
Conducting a thorough cleaning to remove dirt, sludge, grime, and debris that may have built up during the winter.
Run a test of the thermostat, electrical wires and connectors, unit's air flow, run capacitor, and operating efficiency.
Inspect the air ducts, condensation drain pan, blower motor and wheel, compressor, and refrigerant pressure.
Make sure drain openings are clear and free of blockages.
Ensure the safety of the total unit.
The spring season is a busy one for a commercial property owner or manager. However, by conducting this routine maintenance, you'll save yourself time, money, and stress, which makes the extra effort entirely worthwhile.
McMahon Services & Construction provides services for your commercial building needs including water and sewage damage, fire and smoke damage cleanup, mold removal, roofing, siding, and remodeling. Our established history and quality workmanship provides peace of mind.

This Pine Brook Hills renovation focused on improving the layout of the first floor by providing better access to the kitchen, opening the space, as well as updating the overall style of the kitchen, master bath, and powder bathroom. The client wanted to focus on bringing a more masculine and contemporary feel to the home. The blue light fixtures add a great pop of color to the white kitchen. And the free-standing tub in the redesigned bathroom is a nice focal point that enhances the beauty of the glass and stone shower. Floor to ceiling stone tile in the powder bath is a striking feature that plays on the natural elements of this mountain home. A family focused mud room entry and completely refinished floors throughout the first-floor cap off this beautiful renovation.

Schools in Bangladesh were closed for longer than in any other country. Here's how BRAC is supporting their reopening
Schools in Bangladesh reopen this week after the world's longest shutdown. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, BRAC was providing education for almost 750,000 students. During the extended closure, it continued teaching remotely, and ensured that close to 620,000 students graduated from their courses. The remaining students continued learning remotely and, after planning for reopening for months, BRAC opened its doors to 129,000 students this week. Amidst dire predictions of learning loss globally, it is quietly optimistic that its innovative measures to continue learning, combined with a rigorous approach to remediation will get its students back on track.

Many women in Bangladesh woke up this morning, draped a saree and went about their day. For women living in rural areas, the saree was likely worn as an everyday item of dress, and for women living in urban areas, the saree could have been worn to a special occasion for International Women's Day. Today, we share the story of one of the women behind those sarees.

Using general profile


In order for the various cells of the immune system to respond to trauma or invasion in a cooperative fashion, cells must communicate both with their immediate environment and with each other. Cells receive signals from their external environment by producing surface receptors that are able to bind specific chemical messengers; these surface receptors can be considered the "eyes" and "ears" of a cell. The "voices" of a cell are the cytokines, or chemical messengers, that a cell can make. In addition, some cells can make adhesion molecules; these function as "hands," enabling one cell to directly contact another.
Cells can alter the types of surface molecules they make, enabling them to respond only to signals that are relevant when the cell is in a certain location or developmental stage. For example, a dendritic cell in the tissues would respond differently to certain stimuli than one that has migrated to a secondary lymphoid organ.

Business Class Flights To Naples
Naples is the capital of Italy's south, the third largest city in the county, and one of the most beautiful and invigorating cities in the world. An old expression states, "See Naples and die." This is not a threat, but an exaltation. Once you experience everything that Naples has to offer: the beautiful and mysterious winding streets, spectacular collections of art in stunning museums, wood-oven pizzerias that serve the best pizzas in the world, and shopping districts where you can find beautiful, artisanal clothing available nowhere else; you might feel like you've gotten everything you need out of this life. You can say the same thing about taking business class flight to Naples. Economy class has become a truly arduous experience. Lost luggage, crying babies and poor eating options are all common complaints heard about economy. On business class flights to Naples these negatives have been turned into positives. The food available to you is exquisite and varied. No more half-microwaved chicken or fish dishes, but instead fresh, delicious and complimentary options. Individual seating compartments are equipped with fully-reclinable seats that are more comfortable than the average bed. Luxurious, relaxing and pleasurable; flying in business class is the perfect warm up for the extravagant and opulent Neapolitan lifestyle.
Recently sold business class flights to Naples
Naples Business Class $2,112
Fares are TOTAL, starting prices, round trip, per traveler, including taxes and fees. One way flights are up to 50% less. Prices are subject to change and depend on availability at time of booking. No fare can be guaranteed until a ticket is issued.
Naples Airport and Business Class Lounge
Business class flight to Naples will arrive at the Naples International Airport, located about 3.7 miles away from the city. The airport is the seventh largest in Italy with 8.5 million passengers using the airport in 2017, a 26.6% increase from the year before. The airport is serviced by a shuttle bus that runs every 10-30 minutes and connects with the central rail station. If you're tired from the long flight and taking the bus is the last thing you want to do, a taxi ride to the central rail station will cost you €18. Business class flight to Naples will also gain you access to business class lounges. A refuge from the chaos of the rest of the airport, business class lounges are designed to make your time in the airport as enjoyable as possible. You can get your vacation started early by grabbing a seat at the bar and unwinding with a couple of expertly-mixed cocktails. Maybe you're travelling with the kids? Business class lounges have play rooms where they can expend some energy before departure, and you can sneak off and have that cocktail. Just got off a long flight and feel like dirt? The lounges are equipped with individual bathrooms where you can take an invigorating shower, and leave the airport feeling clean, refreshed, and ready to have the vacation of your life.
The first thing that comes to mind when people think of Naples is pizza. While Neapolitan pizza — which is quickly cooked in wood-burning ovens, charred on the outside while thin and chewy in the middle — has become an omnipresent fad throughout the world, there's still nothing like having it in its home city. Head over to Pizzeria Gino Sorbillio, where its namesake owner presides over pizza ovens burning oak, ash, and maple tinder. His pizzeria is so popular that there were rumors at one point that he was going to run for mayor. Order a marinara pizza which is comprised simply of tomato sauce, basil, oregano, garlic, and local olive oil. That's right, there's no cheese, but after tasting the beautiful simplicity of this pizza you won't even miss it.
Naples has an abundance of culture, a true embarrassment of riches. While the streets of Naples are renowned for their chaotic nature, and an intriguing air of joyful menace and anarchy will greet you the moment you leave your hotel; the city is also home to pristine and stunning museums and works of art. In the museums you'll find collections of ancient Roman frescos, dazzling marble statues, and a multitude of paintings by the masters of the Renaissance. The Museo Archeologico Nazionale is a mind-blowing museum. It possesses one of the largest collections in the world of art from antiquity. Here you'll see marble statues from Ancient Greek sculptors like Calamis and Kritos; sculptures like The Farnese Heraclese, which established the popular image of Hercules in the European imagination; and the Farnese Bull, which experts believe is the largest single sculpture remaining from the ancient world. The museum retains some of the most important mosaics from classical times, including the legendary Alexander Mosaic, which depicts the battle between Alexander The Great and the armies of Persia. The museum also has an enormous collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts, and there is also the renowned Secret Cabinet, which is maybe the only 'adults-only' museum exhibit in the world. A donation from the Bourbon Monarchy, this room is filled with an extensive collection of erotica from the ancient world.
Getting Around Naples
The chaotic and lively streets of Naples are not the easiest to get around. While there are buses and a subway, they're more focused on travel to the suburbs and so won't be as useful for your trip. The best way to get around in Naples is the simplest: walking. Naples is a dense city, with traversable distances in between many of the major sites. Plus the key to enjoying and understanding Naples is to take in the vibrancy of its streets, and walking is the perfect way to do that. If you get tired of walking you can always order a taxi. Fares start at €3.50, but make sure that the meter is running, as taxi drivers here are famous for bilking passengers.
After arriving from Business class flight to Naples, you'll be entering a wild, contradictory, and, ultimately, extraordinary city. Naples is a city where anything can happen, where the streets throb with a laissez-faire, Wild West atmosphere. The unrestrained attitude has resulted in stunningly creative restaurants, a dynamic and colorful nightlife, and a populace that is gregarious, inviting, and sociable. Concurrently, Naples is a city of robust history. A long past as one of Europe's richest and most important cities, from Rome to the Enlightenment, has left Naples overflowing in astonishing relics, architecture, and museums.

Good Morning Vogue
How This Indigenous Model Is Using His Platform for Climate Activism
By Christian Allaire
Photo: Ben Duggan
Indigenous designers often use fashion to celebrate their culture and raise awareness around key issues affecting their community. Now, the spirit has come to the modeling world. Haatepah is a full-time model, based in Los Angeles, who is using his platform to uplift his people. The 22-year-old's personal Instagram page serves as a hub for his activism work, where he highlights everything from climate change to indigenous rights. In doing so, he often gathers with other young creatives and attends key events, such as last year's 50-year anniversary of the Occupation of Alcatraz, which is considered to be a birthplace of the Native American rights movement.
Growing up, Haatepah felt disconnected from his indigenous heritage. He and his twin brother, Clearbear, were adopted at a young age by two white dads, and they spent much of their childhood in the Bay Area wanting to learn more about their cultural backgrounds. "Me and my brother didn't even know what race we were for a good amount of time," Haatepah says. "When we turned 18, we contacted our biological family, and figured out who we really are. We always had a feeling that we were native, we just weren't exactly sure what tribes we were."
Around that time, difficulties at home began to arise for Haatepah, who learned he is Chichimeca-Guamare. One of his adopted fathers, who was encouraging of Haatepah wanting to explore his heritage, passed away from cancer; afterward, his other dad grew increasingly disapproving of the two brothers whenever they attempted to embrace their identities. "All his prejudice came out times a thousand," Haatepah says. "So, one day we had it, and we moved out."
At 21, Haatepah and his brother made the move to L.A. "I was homeless for a while," Haatepah says, adding that he would often stay with his friends or with his brother, who moved in with his girlfriend. He wanted to pursue modeling: He had been discovered on Instagram in San Francisco by the casting director Daniel Peddle, and had done a few smaller modeling gigs. Eventually, he caught the eye of the agency Storm L.A., where he's now been working as a full-time model for about a year now. He has appeared in campaigns for brands such as Nike, Uniqlo, Youth to the People, and Lululemon.
As Haatepah's modeling career has taken off over the past year, however, he has continued to feel that lingering sense of wanting to connect with his people. As a result, Haatepah has begun focusing on his activism work. "I see myself as a model, but I think of myself as an activist, first and foremost, for my people," he says. Whenever he isn't working on shoots, Haatepah is finding new ways to support his community; he often does so through the Indigenous Alliance Movement, a collective of roughly 60 people that he began with his brother.
Climate change activism has been a key focus for Haatepah and the alliance group. In the past, he has attended the Protecting Mother Earth Conference, a gathering that uplifts the voices of indigenous activists who are on the front line battling environmental issues. Last year, he also represented the International Indigenous Youth Council at a climate march in L.A., and performed a water song after delivering some words on the importance of renewable energy. "Environmental issues are at the heart of most indigenous people," says Haatepah. "It's indigenous culture to be in balance with nature. To be in balance is to respect the land that you're on. It's something sacred, and if you don't honor it, we're all going to die."
Currently, Haatepah is sheltering in place in Los Angeles; he is continuing to use his social platforms to advocate for his culture. "There's so many ways to communicate with people online—you can reach them in different ways," he says. Just last week, he highlighted the Guna tribe on his page, and how they are suing Nike for appropriating their traditional patterns. As for future projects, he also plans to travel to northern Colombia's Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta; the Arhuaco tribe recently invited him to travel there to pick and plant cocoa, a practice that currently faces environmental threats. Haatepah says highlighting these types of issues outside of North America is just as important to him going forward too. "There's a lot of indigenous environmental activists who are being killed or murdered," he says. "I understand I have a privilege now to even speak about it, being where I am in the United States."

Honor has a bunch of announcements to make at its Hong Kong special event. For starters, it has announced some key features which will be seen on its upcoming flagship Honor View20.
The device will be launched on 22 January for the global audiences in Paris, while China will get it earlier on 26 December. The India launch date was not discussed during the press briefing.
So what exactly will the View20 have? Here is all that we know.
While we had believed that Samsung's Galaxy S10 would be the first smartphone to come with an in-display camera, it seems that the View20 will be given that title. The Samsung Galaxy A8s is also expected to be announced today, which is expected to be having an in-display camera as well.
Honor Global, product general manager Jimmy Xiong said that the View20 will have an in-display hole for the front camera, which will have a diameter of 4.5 mm. This is said to be smaller than the 6 mm that is believed to be seen on the Galaxy S10.
The display is being called the "All-View display by Honor" and it is quite similar to the Infinity O display by Samsung. Honor is calling this a more intelligent implementation than the notched displays that were seen this year.
The View 20 rear camera will also be sporting the new 48 MP Sony IMX586 sensor. The Sony IMX586 is a half-inch stacked CMOS sensor with a 0.8-micron pixel size. Honor claims that the View 20 will be the first smartphone to sport this 48 MP camera. Earlier today, we had also heard speculations of Xiaomi coming out with its own 48 MP camera sporting Redmi smartphone.
Honor says that using the Kirin 980 chipset and the new Sony sensor, the View 20 will have an increase in photo quality as compared to the View 10. We will have to wait till we try this out for ourselves, as the Honor View 10 didn't have the best of cameras.
The last thing that Honor has introduced is called the Link Turbo, which basically switches from Wi-Fi to mobile data or vice versa depending on which mode has higher data speed. Link Turbo is also said to give faster LTE speeds and reduce lag.
As of now, that is all that we know about the Honor View20. But we are very sure that these new technologies could also be implemented in future Honor smartphones as well.
Here's an image shot using the View20 camera. And here's a link to the full resolution images.
Disclaimer: The correspondent was invited by Honor India to cover the event in Hong Kong. All travel and accommodation expenses have been taken care of Honor India.
