Interviews March 1, 2018
Being anti-fascist today
Giorgio Bocca interviews Primo Levi (1985)
Post-war Italian and European societies largely identified anti-Fascism as their foundation. Today, across Europe this assumption is being challenged. In an the attempt to understand what anti -Fascism means today, we came across a TV Interview that Giorgio Bocca conducted with Primo Levi in 1985, which testifies to the depth and foresight of Levi's reflections on history.
The interview appeared recently in the online magazine Doppiozero introduced by Marco Belpoliti.
Translated by Paul M.Rosenberg for Printed Matter. Courtesy Doppiozzero.
In 1985 Giorgio Bocca hosted a broadcast on Channel 5 called "Prima Pagina". Later he would occasionally talk about this collaboration with Berlusconi's TV. He interviewed a variety of personalities, and in June of that year he met with Primo Levi.
The occasion was the publication of a new book by the writer from Torino: Other People's Trades; a book of essays, or rather short articles which had appeared in various newspapers with which Levi had collaborated, primarily "La Stampa"; earlier, in the 1960s, his work had also appeared in "Il Giorno," a paper to which Bocca was also one of the contributors.
This was a coincidence, like the other coincidence which probably moved Bocca to interview Levi: together they had been part of the armed resistance in WWII as members of the partisan group Giustizia e Libertà. Levi fought for only a short time, as part of a shabby band of partisans that was reported by a spy.
Furthermore they are both from the Piedmont: Bocca from Cuneo, Levi from Torino. The city of the Mole can be felt in the background of this conversation in the halls of Einaudi, Levi's publisher; Bocca was in Torino at the beginning of his career as a journalist, before going to Milan, his other city.
Levi lived here discretely, but intensely, as the interview itself makes clear. The conversation, transcribed here from the video tape, does not mainly concern literature; rather also literature, if you will. Bocca moves around the subject, but aims for something else.
He had read and annotated Other People's Trades, one of the author's best books, an extravagant book of linguistics and anthropology, rich with stories of his work as a chemist. These are alluded to on several occasions in the questions – Bocca's questions, though, are mostly affirmations – where he talks about "Why we write," or the chapter about the sidewalks of Torino, or about the story which describes the risk of spontaneous combustion.
He also talks about another book, Levi's literary autobiography, The Periodic Table, which had been published ten years earlier and in which appears the figure of a partisan leader, the young Sandro Delmastro, a friend of Levi's and one of the first to fall in the partisan war: all three loved the mountains.
The interviewer is curious about the writer's Judaism, and returns to it several times. It is a dialog in which they smile or laugh many times, a strange thing for two such austere men, but from the words, the faces, the silences and from those brief laughs a common element shines through. It is no accident that the first question which the partisan Bocca asks of the deportee Levi is: "How can one be anti-fascist today". Levi's response is a perfect Levi-answer: we must always consider the other side of the coin.
Bocca: Good evening, welcome back to "Prima Pagina". This evening we are in one of the legendary sites of Italian culture, in the meeting hall of the publisher Einaudi, and our guest is Primo Levi, one of the most noted and unique Italian writers. In fact, Levi is for many people, for a certain reading public, somewhat the embodiment of antifascist culture, as he is the author of If This Is A Man, that first book about the Nazi concentration camps. Listen, Levi, back then in a certain sense it was simple enough to be antifascist, because things were very, very clear. Now I want to ask you a million dollar question, like they say in the quiz shows: being antifascist today… how can one be antifascist today? What is antifascism today?
Levi: It's complicated. At that time – one of the few advantages of our time was that we had easy choices. Today the choice is difficult, because fascism can be found all around us, embedded in many different ways…
Bocca: Masked…
Levi: Masked, infiltrated into certain lifestyles, infiltrated into the parties, infiltrated into an immoral way of life, that back then, you know, infiltrated into a certain government in a thousand forms, regarding which it's at the same time both obvious and useless to say: I am antifascist; this must be clarified.
Bocca: Another question that men of our time ask is this: you and I, particularly, have written against the horror of Nazism, against the stupidity of fascism, against the ferocity of war, but without these things, how would books such as yours have been published? That tension which is in your books, that is… life without war would have the same flavor, or no?
Levi: No, life would not be the same; however, this is an insidious question. Life would be better without war, even at the cost of sacrificing good things, such as some books, mine included. Certainly, I'm often asked this question, I certainly wouldn't have become…
Bocca: Yes, however certain friendships, but not only these… for example, your friendship with Sandro Delmastro, this is one of those things that would have been impossible without that environment.
Levi: I doubt that; it would have been equally possible in any environment, because Sandro Delmastro was a man who was so strong, so solid, so sure of himself and his choices, that he would have exerted an attraction, an appeal and a fascination in any situation, even today.
Bocca: Yes, but in this specific case, you know, of this young man who is not very politicized, but who instantly sees that you are a Jew who is already somewhat isolated, and you became friends; in short there are situations…
Levi: Certainly it helped, the fact that the racial laws functioned like a reagent, about this there is no doubt; however a man like Sandro Delmastro would have made his choices in any place and at any time, due to his innate moral temperament.
Bocca: Here, another thing that we read about Delmastro is that he is, in a sense, an introduction to the Piedmontese type of antifascism, but it seems to me that Antifascism started in the Alps… with mountaineering.
Levi: (laughing) It's a fact, it's a fact…
Bocca: …to take comfort everyone went to the mountains (laughs).
Levi: It seemed at that time that the world was reduced to about forty people; they could be found in the shelters, stuck to the wall, at concerts and sometimes on via Roma. It seemed that the world was reduced to very few.
Bocca: Minorities were also an important element, in the sense that there were a few Protestants, a few Jews…
Levi: Yes, yes, it's true (laughs), the marginalized. The marginalized tend, as they say, to move among each other, to recognize each other.
Bocca: And so it was also a bit elitist, no? Somewhat tied to the university world.
Levi: Certainly, this as well, yes.
Bocca: Listen, I've read some extremely positive reviews of the The Periodic Table in American papers. The discovery of a writer such as yourself, now and not sooner, how would you say this happened?
Levi: It's a kind of miracle. According to what I've been told, things happened in the simplest way, that is an Italian scholar over there happened, by accident I believe, upon The Period Table. He read it, proposed to translate it and was accepted; he translated the book and it has had notable, if not unexpected success after ten years. It has been accepted under three labels: a book by an Italian – and Italians are in high esteem now in America – a book by a Jew and a book by a chemist. I was in America for twenty days and I had to alternate between these three labels, like a Fregoli, you know: I had to change from Jewish to Italian, from Italian to chemist and vice-versa, to satisfy the requests of my interviewers.
Bocca: Hmm, but is there an interest among the Jews of America about the European Jew?
Levi: Yes, about the Italian Jew.
Bocca: Ah, Italian?
Levi: The European Jew is known. The European Jew is from Poland and Russia, in essence the majority Ashkenazi Jews. But there is a curiosity for the anomalous Jew that is the Italian Jew; the Jew who cannot be distinguished from any other Italian, who speaks Italian, who has for the most part forgotten his Jewish roots, roots he rediscovered during the war, and who is an extreme minority, being less than one per one thousand. This has certainly aroused the curiosity of the American public, and thus has made them curious about the chemist who writes.
Bocca: Levi, at these conferences, in these meetings, mainly what type of curiosity did you sense about yourself?
Levi: Principally the curiosity of the American about the European, and about the Italian in particular. It's odd how little is known about Europe in America. Europe is small and far away; in Europe there is everything: there is Czechoslovakia, Poland, Italy, Greece and Spain. It's very difficult to make a physical comparison, with such differences among all these components. Mainly there was curiosity about Italy, and about that curious subspecies that is the Italian Jew.
Bocca: I understand… listen, in your recent book, Other People's Trades, at a certain point you ask… there is a chapter dedicated to this subject: Why we write. And you list many reasons…
Levi: Nine.
Bocca: Yes (laughs).
Levi: It could have been nineteen or ninety, no?
Bocca: …beginning with the desire for fame, for money, the desire to communicate, everyone says these, no? The only one which you have not mentioned is… we also write because it is always better than working.
(Levi laughs)
Bocca: It's like what they say about journalists, in two senses: the more banal sense, and that's fine, says: it's better than manual labor; and in the sense which is a bit nobler, that creative work is better than a job…
Levi: Yes that is true, but… writing is also working. It's a job. For my part, having also tried the other kind of work, it is much better.
Bocca: Here, tell me a bit about the difference: you were manager of a factory?
Levi: No, not the manager, I was the director, director general of a factory. I did not want to become manager; it was offered to me, but I refused the position.
Bocca: And it seems to me that among your worries was that of fire, no?
Levi: Of accidents in general.
Bocca: No, since you made varnishes, then…
Levi: Yes, in fact.
Bocca: …this great friendship with the heads of the fire department (laughs).
Levi: Yes, yes… it's a dream… it's a nightmare every night, fire. I am at peace with myself for having managed, after thirty years working as a chemist, to leave with my hands clean, without any fatal accidents.
Bocca: Because I seem to have read in one of these chapters that it was perhaps your own procedure that almost provoked a disaster. One time that you had put in a tank…
Levi: Yes, yes, it happened, I made a mistake which fortunately did not result in a disaster. I knew afterwards that the procedure was a mistake, using the carbon dioxide extinguishers to prevent a fire instead of to put one out. It shouldn't be done. To put one out they work well, but to prevent one they work very badly; they can, in fact, start a fire. But these are things that are not taught. I graduated in chemistry with top grades and honors, and they did not teach me anything regarding the prevention of injuries; I hold this to be a very serious flaw. I wonder if they do it today; I think that every technician should have to, as their first exam, take a test on the prevention of injuries.
Bocca: I find that a wonderful period – horrendous for you – but wonderful from a literary point of view, is that phase in which you were already marginalized, however you could still work, and then you were chosen by people who wanted to use you in order to make money; this is what brought you into a mine to separate nickel…
Levi: Well (laughs) in our own way we were important. Meanwhile we were not subject to conscription, and therefore there was no danger of being sent off to the front lines; and in the second place, the secret that we had to keep – that is, to not tell that we were Jews – served to cover the company secret, and was thus a form of reciprocal blackmail. Still, I was very grateful to that lieutenant – who, as it happens passed away a few years ago, two or three years ago – who picked me to do this strange job, which moreover continues to be done; now it's back in style.
Bocca: That story, it seems to me, brings you close to a writer who is very much different from you, that is Buzzati, The Tartars Steppe, this…
Levi: (laughs) With the difference here that the steppe really existed and still exists.
Bocca: If you will permit we will take a short break.
(Brief pause in the broadcast)
Bocca: Good evening, we are here again with Primo Levi, a singular writer, mainly because of his talent but also, as we said before, because he was a chemist, and as he himself says in his books, writes as a chemist, that is he writes, if not as a scientist, at least as a technician, one could say.
Levi: I suppose so, yes (laughs).
Bocca: This, however, in the literary landscape of Italy, poses two problems. It seems to me that the first is this: you say that a writer must be clear, however, I've had to struggle a bit, being someone with a very poor vocabulary, at least in the technical field; you have such precision with technical vocabulary that at a certain point one would need to have a glossary…
Levi: (laughs) This is a price to be paid. It seems to me though that this is a small price to pay, because a good dictionary is all you need, compared to certain other works that are obscure not because of the wording, but rather because of syntax, or in fact for… for hidden reasons, and they are truly indecipherable and inextricable.
Bocca: But is there not in you, at a certain moment, a bit of complacency: look how I know everything…
Levi: (laughs) Yes, certainly, certainly there is, however it comes naturally. I don't know if you have ever happened to read any medical texts. A doctor cannot escape the use of medical terminology, which is very useful because it has an arsenal of metaphors which normal language lacks; and the same thing happens to us chemists. I find myself, not from habit, nor from coyness, but by nature, induced to tap in to this reservoir of terms and also metaphors that are not readily understood by the public. I don't believe I am committing too serious a crime; really, a good dictionary is enough.
Bocca: OK, another type of confusion is one which in this case, let's just say it, is the fault of the reader who is not used to this kind of writing; we are accustomed to the notion that literature must always be sentimental, introspective, etc. You instead, sometimes… for example, I really like your chapter dedicated to the stones of Torino.
Levi: The sidewalks…
Bocca: …to the sidewalks of Torino; from which you reconstruct, as would a technician practicing archaeology, in a certain sense. Everyone expects that what you uncover will be emotion, memories, etc.; instead you avoid that, and it is a very elegant exercise…
Levi: In these things there is a division of labor; there are already many who concern themselves with sentiment; world literature is saturated with sentiment, because it does not try to beat new paths; to me this comes naturally. Sentiment; very good, I accept it, I even try it, however to me it seems a bit worn out.
Bocca: Listen, one of the things in your books that made a great impression on me is this: I, in all my memories, recall having two grandfathers and four uncles, and instead I see that you have hundreds of them…
Levi: (laughs) I have dozens of them, and then others were loaned to me; actually, it still happens to me now, I meet friends who say to me: how strange, your grandfather said the same things that mine said. And in fact they are the same person. In compiling the chapter you refer to, the first chapter of The Periodic Table, I tapped in to collective memories, not only those of my own family, but also those of other families, to round up this collection of bizarre sayings.
Bocca: Then it's curious, because they are all personalities who are at the same time very common and very strange.
Levi: They aren't so common.
Bocca: Common in the sense… I mean to say: very concerned with economic matters.
Levi: Yes, they are bourgeoisie, they were the bourgeoisie of the previous century and as such, by definition, were concerned with economic matters; in fact, for the most part they were merchants. However… naturally among them there were some who were dull, who were insipid or pale and those I left aside, and those have not left a trace; instead some of the weird ones have left traces, some curious types who have passed into private history, to the history of the family, maybe by only one saying; like that saying of my great-grandfather's, or perhaps not my great-grandfather, I don't really know, who had flat feet, so it was painful for him to walk along the cobbled paving stones of Casale Monferrato; one morning he awoke and found the street paved, and then he cried out, from the depth of his heart he said: "'N abrakà a coi goim c'a l'an fàit i lòsi!", in the Hebrew-Piedmontese slang: it was a blessing for those non-Jews who had done the paving (laughs).
Bocca: Listen, among certain proponents, I won't say they are partisan, but who are passionate about the State of Israel, I have a certain reputation as being anti-Semitic, because sometimes I allow myself to point out the small errors they make. But actually I have very many Jewish friends, and it was a great pleasure to find in your book something w I had already noted… because knowing these people I had asked myself: what is the unique, distinctive mark of these people? According to me, it is the importance which they give to culture. And then I found that in fact you have a chapter in which you call it "the best goods".
Levi: Yes, "beste schiore", it's a Yiddish saying which I didn't know at first; I learned it while traveling in those parts.
Bocca: Culture is seen as the key that can save you, can protect you…
Levi: Indeed yes, because it's not an encumbrance, and it is not subject to Customs taxes; you carry it within you, in any emigration. You can be expelled from any country and you carry culture and education within you. I truly believe that this is a constant in the history of Judaism, in all times and in all places.
Bocca: Yes, just the other evening at someone's house I met the son of Pitigrilli, the writer…
Levi: The psychiatrist.
Bocca: Eh, the psychiatrist. At a certain point I heard how he spoke about their wanderings through Latin American countries, always saving themselves by being either journalists or… so I said: do you also have within you this gift of culture that you can put in a suitcase and take around the world?
Levi: I would say that this is a Darwinian question, that is, that it's really the role that develops the organ. This tremendous history of the Jewish people, of expulsions and persecutions, has forced them to take refuge in the only mobile asset that is not subject to sequestration, that is, culture.
Bocca: Listen a bit, you live in Torino, we are in Torino, and one of the questions which we cannot escape is this: what has your experience been of the relationship between the appearance in the city, of the big business and the intellectual. Are you against it or for it?
Levi: I did not understand the question.
Bocca: With respect to FIAT, as a Torinese intellectual do you feel for or against this big business?
Levi: (laughs) I was, as I said earlier, a chemist for thirty years, I have avoided – not just me, but also my boss, my manager – any relations with FIAT. We managed to run this business for many years without being friends or enemies, buyers or sellers. And I'm still in a position of neutrality. I am aware that certain choices that FIAT makes are harmful to the city, while certain others have helped the city, of this there is no doubt. One cannot make a final choice; I don't feel, in this case as in all cases, like writing on the walls: up or down. There is for and there is against. That Torino owes something to FIAT is not up for discussion; that it owes some of its serious problems to FIAT is likewise indisputable.
Bocca: Here, having been at Einaudi… this is a typical case of non-communication, for many years each of us has gone his own way…
Levi: Yes, yes. This case is typical enough; perhaps this is really one of the relationships which keeps me connected to Einaudi even now.
Bocca: Listen, one of the recurring subjects in your books seems to me to be that of ritual – for example the ritual of Shabbat in all its variations and in all its perfections – and that of etymology, that of language, and that is, in short, magic and language. These are two subjects that are very interesting to me.
Levi: Not magic.
Bocca: Yes, well, ritual…
Levi: Ritual is not magic; I would say it is something more profound and serious than magic, even though I don't follow any ritual.
Bocca: However it has some element of magic…
Levi: Well, this is up for discussion (laughs). I believe that Jewish ritual doesn't have anything to do with magic; rather it refutes magic, all the way back to the Torah. It's said explicitly: do not follow the Magicians. Ritual is a different thing: its role is to maintain continuity over time, which has nothing to do with magic, in my view; there are also those who follow the ritual of the magical arts, but they are a minority. But then there is a second part of the question?
Bocca: That of language.
Levi: This is my missed love. I would have liked to become a philologist and to study language seriously, but things didn't go that way; as it happened I had a completely different job. However I have heard many languages; I speak, more or less well, French, English and German, and a keen curiosity for "why it is said that way" has grown within me, for which…
Bocca: An example of this: you present Mr. Perrone to your aunts, and they say: It's Munssu Prùn.
Levi: Yes, they surprised me.
Bocca: This Prùn could be a squirrel, like…
Levi: Prùn in Piedmontese can mean many things: it can mean squirrel, rabbit, I am not sure what else; they also call a guinea pig prùn, in certain areas.
Bocca: Or it could be from the Latin, prono.
Levi: It appears that this is in fact the case, the Piedmontese word prùn corresponds to the Latin: prono. This business fascinated me; because the squirrel is always prone, or leaning forward, when it stands erect or when it's on all four paws, because it has a rear that is higher than the front; therefore it is always inclined. Anyway, this amazed and fascinated me: these old aunts, quiet, uncultured and provincial, immediately reconstructed mister Perrone's real name: Perrone is a false name, his real name was Prùn.
Bocca: Listen, Levi, do you have a type of reader that you recognize? Is there a cult of Primo Levi readers?
Levi: (laughs) No, no. I receive an avalanche of letters, four or five a day, of which at least one or two are from slightly crazy people; the others go from the extremes of completely uncultured to people who are extremely educated and lovely. There is no 'type' of my readers, I don't think so.
Bocca: Dear Levi, I thank you very much and say goodbye…
Levi: I thank you.
Bocca:…And say goodbye to the viewers of "Front Page", good evening.

Jewish representatives to visit WWII mass grave discovered in Šiauliai
Members of the Committee for the Preservation of Jewish Cemeteries in Europe are to come to Lithuania and visit the mass grave in Lithuania's northern city of Šiauliai, recently discovered during road construction work, the head of the Jewish Community of Lithuania said on Tuesday.

"We have invited rabbis, anthropologists as we don't have information whether those are Jewish or non-Jewish remains," Faina Kukliansky told BNS on Tuesday.
Earlier this week, a commission at Šiauliai Municipality decided that the human remains from the recently-discovered mass burial site dating back to WWII would be excavated.
It was initially reported that the excavation work would start over the upcoming days but Vitalis Lebedis, a spokesman for the municipality, told BNS on Tuesday that nothing would be done until the arrival of the Jewish delegation on Monday, including Israeli Ambassador to Lithuania Amin Maimon.
Around 40 remains were found at the burial site.

New York Filmmaker Helps Assyrian Christians Gear Up For Battle With ISIS
John Hayward
USA Today reports on the efforts of Assyrian Christians to put their own army together and fend off the Islamic State, which has been raiding Assyrian communities in the Nineveh Plains, taking hundreds of women and children for use as hostages and slaves.
The Christians say they are not getting much in the way of official international military aid, the Iraqi army has failed to protect them, and even Kurdish peshmerga forces have withdrawn from the area, so they are taking matters into their own hands. The group has engaged American military veterans to train a "Ninevah Plains Protection Unit" funded by donations, which the group says are running out.
Training for the NPU, which currently has between 350 and 500 men under arms, was organized by a security contracting non-profit called Sons of Liberty International, which describes itself as the first entity of its kind. Founder Matthew VanDyke has reportedly put $12,000 of his own money into the Nineveh Protection Unit, which is the premier SOLI project at the moment, although the group says it would like to provide services to other persecuted communities as well.
VanDyke is described by USA Today as "a filmmaker who became a freedom fighter in the Libyan civil war and spent six months as a prisoner of war under the Moammar Ghaddafi regime," moved to action against ISIS by the beheadings of hostages James Foley and Steven Sotloff, who he counted as friends. VanDyke appeared on Greta Van Susteren's Fox News show to discuss his mission earlier this week:
VanDyke described the NPU battalion as a "U.S.-friendly force" whose capabilities and morale compared favorably with the Kurdish peshmerga – they're fighting to defend the Iraqi Christian community from extinction and exodus. Thus far, this has involved making deals with other factions, but he wants them to have the means to defend themselves, and his review of their morale and military capacity presents them as an excellent investment against the Islamic State. "The Christian community in Iraq has been pushed around for a long time, and it needs to stop, and I have the right connections and experience to be able to pull something together to help them, so that's what I'm doing," he told USA Today.
Unfortunately, the international community has not been making that investment in Iraqi Christians. In his Fox News interview, VanDyke described their relationship with the U.S. government as solid, but they are not getting the weapons they need. Neither is anyone else, as official U.S. policy involves sending all munitions to Baghdad, whose central government is not eager to distribute the weapons to anyone except its own forces and a few Shiite militias. The Kurds, who have handled most of the heavy fighting on the Islamic State's bloody borders, have similar complaints about being chronically under-equipped, as do Sunni tribesmen in western Iraq. Having said that, the level of neglect for Christian communities is remarkable, and they are paying a heavy price for it.
The Assyrian Christians are determined to resist the Islamic State. "We have rights to defend our land and to preserve our holy land, and to preserve our habits and traditions," USA Today quotes NPU officer Kaldo Oghanna, who asked the international community to support not just Christians but also other persecuted minorities, such as the Yazidis.
"If you don't help us, we can't fight ISIS, we can't protect our area, we can't do everything," said NPU Military Committee Director Gevara Zaya. "But if you give us half what you give to Peshmerga or other military forces, we will do double what they're doing now."
A report at Al-Jazeera names an Assyrian-American political action group called the American Mesopotamian Organization as a primary overseas sponsor of the Nineveh Protection Unit project, describing its funding method as "crowdsourcing" that even included a telethon via the Assyrian Broadcasting Network of southern California.
The article also asserts that the NPU is entering a "second phase, which involves creating an officer corps and specialty training," and is no longer working with VanDyke's SOLI. The Sons of Liberty International website says its involvement with the NPU "extended beyond military training," and the group considers itself "an ally of the NPU in their vision and ambitions for a future without ISIS and in which the Christians of Iraq can return to their homes and rebuild their communities in the Nineveh Plain greater than ever before."
The potential problems facing the NPU are accurately reviewed by Al-Jazeera: there will always be concerns about adding another sectarian militia to an already complex military situation, the Assyrian Christian community has already been cut to a shockingly small size, the central Iraqi government is concerned about the Assyrians pushing for some degree of political independence, and there is some uneasy history between the Assyrians and the Kurds, who are currently the apple of the West's eye in the battle against ISIS. Those seem like minor concerns measured against what awaits Christians at the hands of the Islamic State, but there are, unfortunately, solid political reasons for why fractious Iraq has had so much trouble pushing back against the aggressive nightmare of ISIS.

Basketball Season is back again with the NBA 2K series latest entry, NBA 2K17. Truth be told, expectations are high for this instalment as developers Visual Concepts have always delivered a gem of a game. Ok maybe not a perfect gem but still a game that will get NBA basketball fans all excited.
After the last instalment's little issue with its "forced" story mode, game developers seemed to have taken the feedback very seriously and have given more freedom to players in MyCareer mode. Not only do you get to make friends with Justice Young (played by Michael B. Jordan), you two train together, play together and if the stars align, score lots of points together.
As with the previous MyCareer mode, you start off low in skills and need to work your way up either by buying with virtual currency or hit the gym and practice, practice and practice. Sure you don't have to spend any real money on this and grind your way up but hey, that's where the temptation of just buying yourself to the top comes in. Don't worry as a fellow working adult with little time to play games, I am not going to judge if anyone pulls out their credit card.
For those who prefer to move out of the court to a more managing role, MyGM is the perfect mode for you. From building an arena to custom jerseys and even naming your team, you get to control almost everything. The trade engine is also well oiled as big names will cost a lot as they should but you should be able to uncover hidden gems as well. The amount of control you have at your hands in this mode is just amazing and you can even start the season off when the real season starts to the actual date.
Overall NBA 2K17 is another worthy title to the NBA series and 2K Sports will want to continue keeping this gem well in their collection. From an updated game mechanics to improved game modes, developers Visual Concepts have done well. NBA 2K17 comes highly recommended for all basketball fans to add to their collection.
NBA 2K17 is available on the Microsoft Windows, the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4.

2 BUCK HUNTING CLUB MEMBERSHIPS-NORTH EASTERN MICH.
Quality stag hunting club and camp. Unique opportunity.
Non profit offering provides maximum value.
Camp and land located in Western Iosco County. Along Iosco-Ogemaw County Line (between West Branch and Tawas) in the heart of one of Michigan's finest deer hunting areas.
175 acres of land approximately 85% wooded with balance in good improved trails, meadows and wetlands-12 food plots (22 acres) large secluded pond.
Cabin: Modern yet rustic and comfortable with semi-private bedrooms, well equipped and modern kitchen, 2 bathrooms, cathedral ceiling, direct tv, basement and a large patio deck. And modern two story shed.
Club is expanding to 5 memberships.
Hunting club history: Land and Cabin purchased by Dan (Boone) VanSumeren in 1985 and club was formed in 1986. Cabin which was built as a retirement home for previous owner, and was subsequently finished in 1986 by Boone. Improvements were added thru-out the years. In addition trails were expanded by 250% and approximately 5 years ago 12 food plots were formed creating 22 acres of food plots. The club as well as the ownership of same, is a non-profit entity thus giving maximum benefit and value to the members. Note: membership in this camp means much more than just a place to shoot bucks. It is somewhat of a sacred get away and retreat where fellowship and commradre is shared by a great group of guys.
1. Purpose of club is to provide quality deer hunting with a secondary emphasis on small game hunting (turkey, grouse and rabbits) for it's members, all in a spirit of excellent fellowship and commadare in a quality hunting club envirement.
2. To ascertain maximum value for our members do to the non profit nature of the club.
3. To provide and maintain the highest quality of wildlife habitat on our land for the purpose of both attracting and maintaining the maximum quanity and quality of our deer and other wildlife. Food plots include corn, soybeans, clovers, chickory, milo, buckwheat, rye, oats, turnips and more. In addition extensive plantings have been made in both hard and soft mast producing trees and shrubs including chestnut, persimmons, black locust, mulberry, apple, crabapple, pear and more. While our largest expense we feel the return is well worth the time and financial investment.
4. Camp is meant to be a fun place where we enjoy good food, good cheer and good friends in a spirt of mirth and merriment.
Memberships are stag only and there are reasonable restrictions regarding non-member guests. So memberships in this camp should not be considered by someone who wants to have his wife or lady friend with him during hunts or anyone looking for a place to bring guests at anytime they so desire.
Memberships in the club require unanimous approval of all present members and memberships can never be sold, transferred or reassigned. Memberships may not cause any restrictions on the land. Memberships are subject to trial basis for the first year and can be terminated for the lack of compatibility. Note: Benefits of this membership cannot be measured in dollars and cents. It is what you make of it.
A new member must possess a friendly disposition, sense of humor, moral character, a sportsman ethic, willingness to pitch in as a team player and a person who gets along well with others. Our present members have all of the above and we would expect no less from a new member, nor should a new member expect any less from us.
We realize that compatibility is a two way street and that all members, new or old alike shall have the assurance that there is no room in our camp and club for: a self centered a--hole, slob, tightwad cheapskate, grumpy jerk or an individual who gets ornery when they're drinking or (sober). We won't tolerate anyone who was weaned on a pickle or is a prime candidate to be the poster person for retroactive birthcontrol. In addition no one here in camp, is impressed with anyone who has a so-called "mighty hunter syndrome".
A new member would need a 4 wheel ORV to get to and from hunting stands.
Cost- Dues Etc.: Initial cost of 900 dollars. Note: each of our members has invested many times that for trails, food plots ect. Annual dues are 1375 dollars per year payable in full in advance on or before May 1st of every year. Dues are for the respective hunting seasons in the same calendar year, e.g. 2012 ect. DUES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.
Cost of food and supplies are shared by the members at camp as they are incurred.
Chores: Chores are to be shared by the members which may include a couple of work sessions. Note this is not a dude ranch type of club. Members must furnish their own blinds. They are responsible for their own transportation to and from their hunting stands or blinds. Note this could be over 1 ½ miles from camp on club land.
On premises hunting there is no need to commute as the cabin is located on the club hunting land.
For further information on club bylaws see section Welcome to Boonesborough for condensed version and bylaws for more detailed information. Phone contact to Boone may be made by calling Dan Vansumeren at 989-893-5819.
Observance of the bylaws is second nature to our members, as they are based on common sense and the golden rule. Bylaws are listed here primarily for examination of prospective new members so they may determine if our club is right for them.
Purpose of Club: To provide and maintain quality deer hunting opportunities for its members with secondary emphasis on small game hunting, all in the spirit of excellent fellowship, and commadere, in a quality hunting environment. The club is a non profit entity, so members get maximum value for their investment. Statement of policy is set forth so as to clearly define the privileges and benefits as well as obligations and expenses of members.
Selected Memberships: At present there are four selected memberships and there shall be no more than five selected memberships. Selected memberships are individual, by invitation, and selection only and are non-transferable or assignable and shall cause no restrictions upon the land.
To hunt the land at any and all days during the respective deer seasons, early archery season, rifle season, muzzle loading, and late archery seasons.
To hunt turkeys in the spring and fall.
To also have access to the land prior to the deer season for the purpose of preparation of hunting stands and blinds.
To possess keys for the cabin and gates.
To have all priorities as to hunting stands and blind over all other parties.
Campsite parking area is available when cabin is not available to members and may be used as a campsite for travel trailers, and plug for electricity is available. The camp site lot on the south end of section is also available for use.
Selected members shall never feel as a guest or the owner member as a host or inn keeper as all are partners in the hunting club to share the commadarie of good fellowship as well as a place to share chores. All members should have a feeling of belonging and that the camp is a home away from home.
Differences and Rights of the owner members: The owner member has made all of the capitol investment in the land, buildings etc and a difference in rights shall and must exist. The owner maintains first right of preference as to hunting stands and locations, the final word as it pertains to bylaws and club policy, use of the cabin and shed shall be for the exclusive use of his family for the Thanksgiving holiday and weekend. The owner has all priorities as it pertains to cabin and/or hunting guests. Some other differences are maintained by the owner.
Provisions of Camp guidelines: (Welcome to Boonesborough) are incorporated herein and made part of this statement of policy.
Hunting Stands and Blinds: Blinds are owned by the individual member ( not the club) locations of hunting stands and blinds by selected members are to be decided upon in advance of the respective deer season, by agreement. It is also understood that members may use one another's blinds, on occasion when the blind owner is not using same. This gives members a chance for a change of scenery etc.
Every effort is to be made by the members to do everything possible to prevent crippling or losing a deer. Any individual who would not and the time to properly prepare themselves and their bow (or to sight in their rifle and muzzle loader for that matter) would be doing a grave injustice to the fellow members, archery and hunting in general and the Club's reputation as well as a shameful loss of deer. On the rare occasions when a guest may be allowed, the member has a responsibility to insure the guest is familiar with standards as well, as they apply to members and guest alike.
Members are required while hunting prior to dark to at least have a good lantern and fuel available as well as marking ribbon for the purpose of locating a wounded deer. Locating a wounded deer is a matter of club priority and all will assist. (on some occaisons the cook will not be expected to assist in order to prepare the evening meal) While no members want to experience a wasted deer by observing the following guidelines of good sportsmanship and standards herein: group searches, crippled or wasted deer would be kept to a minimum. Each individual member has an obligation to his fellow member in this regards. The standards apply to rifle and muzzle loading season also.
Archery rifle season limits-size requirements: Limits shall be set annually by the club members. No spikes are to be taken, provided, however an exception may be made for a young grandson's first buck. Also, size requirements may be set by the members such as having a minimum of three or four antler points on one side especially for a second buck. No button or nubbin bucks may be taken by anyone. Any violators will be sent to Vietnam or Cambodia or to their hunting blinds in the woods for the balance of the season and shall exist on the diet of yellow snow.
"Only bucks hang on our pole". The club was formed as a buck hunting club, not a meat camp. Generally, no does will be hung on the "buck pole". Taking of a camp deer by a camp member at camp may be allowed on occasion if decided upon the members in advance of the early archery season. Guests are not allowed to take any does. In addition, any member who sees a badly wounded deer which would unlikely survive winter, should take it as a camp deer to prevent its waist or succumb to the coyotes. Note: Any doe taken on club land shall be deemed to be a camp deer.
Disposition of deer taken on club ground: Deer shot on club ground is for the individual member/family consumption. Or, if not desired by the individual for whatever reason, should be given to member (s) for processing, who may not have seen the same good fortune in bagging a buck. The receiving member would be responsible for the processing and returning of antlers. A member's second buck is to be shared with another member who has had no success.
No Individual hunting on club ground is to take a deer for the purpose of "filling a meat order" for a friend or neighbor back home, for example, or for the gal at the pub, etc. In addition, and for example, a member who was fortunate in bagging two bucks during the rifle season and knows that he and his family would only consume one, should offer the other to the club member (s) for processing, who have none; before giving any away to non-members. Some members/ families prefer venison more than others, etc. which is to be considered; but all who desire will have some venison to enjoy, by sharing, etc. for that purpose.
Guests: While the owner member has all priorites to have over-night cabin and/or hunting guests at any time, guests shall be very limited, if allowed at all, during early archery season and the first week of rifle season. The purpose of the club is to provide hunting opportunities for its membership, not to entertain non-members.
However, there may be times, especially during the latter part of rifle season, muzzle loading and late archery season, and especially to avoid hunting along, that a guest or guests may be welcome. Members, however, shall and must have all priorities to be asked and included for all hunts before any guests are asked. Selected members should understand that their memberships does not include the inherent or automatic right of having over-night cabin and/or hunting guests as a right of membership, but only as a happening that can occur from time to time after the first week of rifle season.
1. With the owner members permission. (and on an individual request for each instance). i.e. Approval for a selected member to have a guest hunting is for an individual hunt time and should not be construed as a blanket approval to bring the individual guest any time so desired.
2. On a space available basis as determined by the owner member and generally only after the first week of rifle season. (Members should consider cabin usage space as well as the land). Any and all hunting guests including that of the owner member shall: (a) be subject to all priorities of the members as far as the hunting stands and blinds, etc. (b) not be allowed without their host-club member being present. (c) never to process keys for cabin or gate (d) be subject to the camp guideline and required to do their share of chores. Members shall be responsible as well as liable for their guests conduct, as well as guest's share of any applicable expenses. Generally speaking, individuals unknown to the owner member shall have least priority of being asked as a cabin/hunting guest; while at the same time giving sons of selected member's some preference for consideration as being asked as a guest. (It should be noted, however, that the same rules, guidelines, space availability, etc. applies to sons) Comment: Hunting guests can be welcome visitors and companions or the source of problems, over crowding, and dissention. The owner member has no intention, whatsoever, to allow the latter to happen.
Hunter Safety: All hunters are to observe Michigan state laws regarding hunter orange and all other laws regarding hunter safety. ANY HUNTER USING AN ELEVATED STAND SHALL DO SO AT THEIR OWN RISK AND HOLD THE CLUB AND THE OWNER MEMBER HARMLESS FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY IN LIABILITY OR ANY INJURY WHATSOEVER. All hunters using an elevated stand is required to use a full safety harness as approved and certified by TMA MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION AS WELL AS A RETRACTOR SYSTEM THAT WOULD PREVENT A PERSON FROM FALLING TO THE GROUND. ALL PERSONS, HUNTING ON CLUB LAND, DO SO AT THEIR OWN RISK AND CLUB AS WELL AS OWNERS SHALL BE HELD HARMLESS FOR ANY PHYSICAL INJURY, DEATH AND ANY OTHER LOSS WHATSOEVER. While there are no harness police patrolling the club land its up to the indvidual to use common sense and adopt the saftey standards.
Members and guests hunt, travel and use the land, travel and building at their own risk and hold the owners harmless for any physical injury, death and any other loss whatsoever. The owners shall have no liability whatsoever for loss of personal property, physical injury or death to any members or guests, and shall be held harmless for same. It is understood however that all members shall be responsible financially and otherwise for any damages caused by their use or neglect to owners property such as failure to lock gate, pull plug on pump, etc.
Expenses/ Annual Dues: The following expenses such as taxes, some insurance, cost of maintaining tractor and other machinery and equipment, food plots, boundary markers, all LP gas, electricity used from 9-15 to period in December during muzzle season Direct T.V (three months), lawn care after 9-25, club mineral blocks, most camp maintenance, certain supplies and food, driveway maintenance, club debt, and any other expense for club benefit shall be shared by club members by dues. Annual dues are capped and shortages or surplus shall be added to or subtracted from club debt. Dues are payable in full, in advance prior to May 5th of each year and much of the club expenses such as food plots are incurred early in the spring of each year. An annual accounting will be made to each of the club members after conclusion of the club year.
Dues are for the respective hunting seasons within the same calendar year. Dues are not refundable.
Groceries and supplies: Cost of such are to be shared by the membership staying over at the same time where applicable.
Food, meals and supplies: The camp cook plans the meals. Meals range from the simple such as venison chili or stew to the elegant such as prime rib and lobster tails, etc. Very few meals are served out of a box or can. The food purchased is among the best when obtained by the cook. Cheap or economy is the lowest priority but value is always sought. Because meals are planned, members planning on bringing prepared food, need to clear this with the cook in advance. It is policy that we don't skimp on meals for the purpose of saving a few bucks.
Booze: BYOB, provided, however a certain amount of beverages shall be purchased at club expense for visitors.
Chores: In addition to the daily cabin cleaning, burning trash, etc. other major chores are to be shared: trail clearing and maintenance including mowing trails; cutting and stacking of firewood for back up heat, maintaining flagging boundary markers, driveway maintenance, most cabin maintenance, and any and all labor for club benefit is to be shared by all the members. Work sessions are called together by the owner member and some of these may be two day sessions involving staying over night. Note: the bulk of these chores are to be done prior to labor day. Before departing home from camp members are to take bottles, cans, and trash with them. This takes place throughout the respective deer seasons (don't leave all of this for the last person leaving camp). Prior to thanksgiving, there shall be an annual GI party military style cleaning of cabin, which includes cleaning of refrigerator, oven, mirrors, base boards, basement, all carpeting and floors. This is to be done in preparation for inspection by the "spotless queen". Before departing camp from muzzle loading season somewhat similar work is to be done again. In addition food plots are labor intensive so much of the labor is done by help hired by the club, but some of the work must be done by the members.
A log book must to be kept by the members with entries including buck kills, antler points, visitors, etc. while persons are at camp.
A special one year guest membership is offered to a veteran who has suffered physical injury such as a loss of limb during combat or in other military service while serving in a combat theater of operations in Iraq or Afganastan.
Membership is at no cost to the veteran, nor is there any cost for lodging. The veteran shall be responsable for his own transportation to and from camp, rifle and or archery, equipment and licenses. Veteran shall have a small cost for a portion of his food and all of his beverage.
Unfortunally, at present our camp is not wheel chair accessable. The club will furnish a ground blind and members shall assist the vet in tracking, retrieving his buck and hanging it on the buck pole etc... The vet needs to have some hunting background and a friendly personality. The vet can expect to have a good time at camp. This offering is our way of saying THANK-YOU for your service.
Note: Members are liable for any damage, individually, as well as jointly for failure to remove plug on water pump when leaving.
Changes and/or additions may be made to club by-laws by owner member from time to time.

Respite care in a care home - Which?
If you need a complete break from caring for a short time, the person you care for may be able to stay in a care home temporarily.
Most care homes focus on long-term residential care, but some also offer short-term respite care options. It can be difficult to get respite space at short notice, but some homes will take advance reservations which can help you to plan ahead, for example if you want to book a holiday.
Enter the postcode of the person needing care in our care services directory to find local care homes. Then contact the local care homes to see if respite care is something they may be able to offer.
See also how to choose a care home for further advice on this topic, together with our checklists on visiting a care home.
If the person you care for needs short-term specialist care following an illness or operation, NHS Intermediate Care might be an option. This provides free care and support at home or in a care home for up to six weeks. It's usually provided following a stay in hospital, or to prevent admission to hospital, for example if the person's usual carer is suddenly taken ill. For more information, see our article on intermediate care.
The importance of planning ahead, how to access local authority respite care and choosing respite care.
Are there other people who would be willing and able to help you look after the person needing care?

Sony Unveils Specs, Sets New Date for 'David Gilmour Live' Blu-ray
Posted Wed Oct 10, 2007 at 10:00 AM PDT by
Sony BMG has unveiled some impressive final specs for David Gilmour's first-ever high-def concert disc 'Remember That Night,' but also a (second) street date delay of nearly a month.
As we've previously reported, Sony had initially announced a September 18 arrival for 'David Gilmour Live: Remember That Night.' Then, only a few weeks later, the distributor unexpectedly bumped the ex-Pink Floyd tunesmith's Blu-ray debut by well over a month to October 30.
Now, in yet another push-back for the disc, Sony has announced a new November 20 street date. But the silver lining for eager fans are is set's newly-unveiled specs, which include two full discs brimming with bonus features.
Among the nearly three hours of supplements are 13 bonus tracks, five alternate versions of songs from the Royal Albert Hall performances, the "Breaking Bread, Drinking Wine" documentary, an additional "Making of 'On an Island'" featurette, 2 music videos, and a photo gallery.
Tech specs include 1080 video and Dolby TrueHD 5.1 Surround audio.
As originally announced, retail price remains $29.98.
You'll find disc details for 'Remember That Night' linked from our Blu-ray Release Schedule, where it is indexed under its new date of November 20.
We've also set up a dedicated thread for the oft-delayed disc in our Forums area -- click the following link to discuss the 'Remember That Night' Blu-ray release.

This is the toughest review I've ever had to write. What do we make of Dan Reed's four hour, two part documentary "Leaving Neverland"? After covering Michael Jackson for almost 30 years, it's not easy to approach this material.
The first reason is, obviously, that I thought we were done with all this. Wade Robson, his mother and sister all testified for Michael in his 2005 trial. They were on his side. Jimmy Safechuck had just disappeared into the void of Neverland kids who grew up and went away. Safechuck, from the 80s, hadn't figured in the 2005 trial, didn't say a word after Michael died, so that was that.
When each of them filed lawsuits, I was surprised. Michael was long dead. It seemed like a last minute cash grab. Then the court wouldn't hear the cases. That was it.
Then came the news that they'd made this documentary. The Michael Jackson fans, so devoted still, are enraged. They've examined all of Robson and Safechuck's claims down to the commas. If one interview varies from another, we hear about it. Robson seems particularly egregious since he wanted to a show business career. Michael's estate says it turned him down for a job at a time when Robson needed money. Wasn't that his reason for creating this maelstrom?
Now that I've watched the entire movie twice, I have some things to say. First, the opening two hours are devastatingly graphic. There's one particular section midway through where you'll need a drink, a Xanax, something. You should DVR the whole thing because at one point your mind will disconnect from the two men are describing.
Second, whether their claims are true or not, I am very sorry for the effect this will have on Prince, Paris, and Bigi, Michael's children. They don't deserve this. This isn't Michael's legacy. I hope they will just ignore the whole thing, as much as they can.
"Leaving Neverland" is about Wade and Jimmy, but it's also about their parents. That's what's interesting here. Their mothers, who are a big part of the story, were only re-actors in their own life stories. They never once stopped to think about what it meant to hand their children over to Michael Jackson.
Joy Robson, who testified for Michael at the 2005 trial, blew up her own life. She took her two smallest children, left her husband, family, Australia, and moved to L.A. to be with Michael Jackson. Spoiler alert: she destroyed her husband, who eventually committed suicide. It's quite unbelievable. Director Reed is unsparing about her, by the way. Her tragedy unfolds in the second half, and you must watch it.
Stephanie Safechuck is another matter. She resembles Joan Allen. She's attractive, well spoken, smart. But she accepted a house– a house, a whole house– from Michael Jackson. And other gifts. She's reasoned and sensible now. But she was also taken in. (I'm not sure if she's still living in that house, or flipped it.) When her son finally confesses his "love affair" with Michael (same was Wade, they describe their sexual relationships that way with the King of Pop), Stephanie Safechuck, it makes sense to her.
Really, I believe her, but that house, that's an issue.
Some other things: first, there is kind of a defense of Michael included in the second half. This is in the form of Michael's defense lawyer, Tom Mesereau, who reminds us that Wade was put on the stand and examined by prosecutor Ron Zonen quite thoroughly. I was there, I watched Wade, his mother, and sister Chanelle (who's in the movie). Personally, I keep thinking, they had their chance. But sister and mom were going on Wade's word for years until 2013. Wade, if he's telling the truth, lied to them his whole life.
Second: there's little context here about other families and little boys. Michael's history was befriending children, buying off the parents, sometimes separating mothers from fathers. There's a long list of boys, and gifts to mollify the parents. You can make case for this, easily. Each story may have a mitigating experience, but there is an undeniable commonality. Reed only gets into this as he lets Jimmy and Wade and their mothers observe the new "class" coming in and see themselves being replaced.
One can argue that a lot of this material was available to Wade and to Jimmy if they wanted to fabricate it. They could have drawn on Victor Guitierrez's book, which Michael stopped in court and received a judgment for $2.7 million (still uncollected). They had Shmuley Boteach's tape transcripts, plus a book by scorned late publicist Bob Jones. Both Wade and Jimmy are rather unemotional in their confessions. Could they have constructed them these sources? Possible.
The Sunday night episode is the most graphic. Each boy relates specific sexual moments. One Michael defender warned me that these revelations, without corroboration or any counterbalance, are dramatic "gimmick." It works! When James (aka Jimmy) shows off his "wedding ring" Michael gave him, studded with diamonds, you feel his pain. "I don't like to look at the jewelry," he says. No kidding. But the rings, the faxes, and other physical evidence will leave you re-examining this story.
Can we still like Michael Jackson's music? Yes. I always say, if we'd known Picasso in real time, we wouldn't have liked him at all. Or any artist. This is a compartmentalized brain of an artist. Artists don't take a civics test. We're not going to boycott Michael's music. But he died in severe pain. No one we've ever heard of had a doctor administer Propofol, a dangerous anesthetic, night after night. Even though Dr. Murray was stupid and greedy, Michael was paying him for his services. We have to remember that. What kind of pain was he in? That's for another documentary.
Plus: this is not the end. I reached out a couple of weeks ago to Evvy Tavasci, Michael's assistant keeper of secrets for decades. I thought she could help clarify things. She could have easily defended Michael and debunked the whole story. She hung up on me instead. There are others. They may speak up in time.
So I say this to the Michael Jackson fans, the ones who came to Santa Maria, who write to me, who are so active and devoted online. There are a lot of moving parts here. You can choose not accept this movie. But for fours, watch and listen.

Does one day international cricket still have a place in the heart of cricket fans?
3 minute read | Avinaesh Kandasamy, Client Service Executive, Nielsen Sports and William Dempsey, Client Executive, Nielsen Sports | July 2019
ONE DAY INTERNATIONAL VS TWENTY20
The rise of Twenty20 cricket has raised the question on whether the One Day International (ODI) format remains relevant to consumers. In the wake of a thrilling end to the 2019 ICC Mens Cricket World Cup, Nielsen has conducted a health check on the two limited overs formats as Australian cricket fans and potential sponsors look ahead to hosting next year's ICC Twenty20 World Cup.
According to Nielsen's SportsLink survey, when it comes to fan engagement and entertainment value, cricket consumers* see the ODI format on par with the 20-over game. Cricket fans consider Twenty20 to be faster-paced and more innovative when compared to ODIs; however, the same group believe ODIs rank above the shorter format when it comes to strategy and prestige.
The analysis highlights that the prestige of the Cricket World Cup provides a significant uplift in cricket engagement, which will likely continue to drive interest in both white ball formats. The clear challenge going forward for the ODI format will be continuing to uphold levels of engagement outside of the World Cup years.
2019 Men's ICC World Cup (ODI)
This year's tournament has drawn the interest of more than 6.2 million Australians over the age of 16. Cricket fans make up 44% of the national population and 59% of fans stated they would have tuned in for the tournament.
Nielsen Social Content Ratings highlights the impact that the World Cup has on fan engagement levels for ODI cricket. Interactions during primetime on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter increased 68% for the Australia v India World Cup group round match when compared to the average across the Australia v India three-match ODI series in January earlier this year; with unique engagements on Twitter alone up 83%. The same trend is evident for Australia's World Cup fixture against Pakistan compared to their ODI series in March.
On average 47% of the total social interactions are through Instagram, 29% on Twitter and 24% on Facebook.
In 2020, Australia plays host to the Men's and Women's ICC Twenty20 World Cup. Hoping to capitalise on the wave of attention the tournaments will receive, event organisers are aiming to pack out the MCG with over 100,000 fans for the Women's Final in March. This is in a bid to break the existing record for a women's sporting event, which is currently held by the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup Final in the USA.
Both the Men's and Women's ICC Twenty20 World Cups promise to deliver fast-paced, exciting action for cricket fans around the world; with significant value for tournament partners to be found through a large, captivated and engaged audience here in Australia.
*Fan is someone over the age of 16 who is interested in or has consumed a particular sport

The grapes are handpicked and brought to the winery in small plastic crates. Following careful sorting of the grapes, they are fed into the destemmer where the stems are separated from the grapes. After this they are fed into state-of-the-art pneumatic presses where they are gently pressed at low pressures. This is followed by debourbage and then after eight hours the must, which has cleared naturally, is collected. Pumps are not used during processing of the grapes. Alcohol fermentation takes place in double-walled, stainless steel tanks at a fully controlled temperature of 16°C - 18o C. The natural methods of clarification and stabilisation and the bottling process at the domain certify the quality control of the product.

We've exhausted the teams with zero, one or two no-hitters, so we move now to a pair of teams with four no-nos.
The Seattle Mariners, No. 23 in our NoNoHitters 30 countdown, is an expansion team that began play in the American League in 1977.
Randy Johnson threw the Mariners' first no-hitter in 1990, and Chris Bosio added one in 1993. The Mariners threw a combined no-no in 2012, beginning with six innings from Kevin Millwood and short relief stints by Charlie Furbush, Stephen Pryor, Lucas Luetge, Brandon League and Tom Wilhelmsen. Felix Hernandez threw a perfect game for the M's later during the 2012 season.

The legendary composer takes us all the way from the beginning to his latest score.
If you look through the history of Ryuichi Sakamoto available online (which I strongly recommend you do), you'll see him with Yellow Magic Orchestra pretty much playing a kind of music that had never been heard before on instruments that had never been used before.
Of course, the groundbreaking work of YMO was just a moment in time for Ryuichi Sakamoto. Certainly the world is full legendary masters who had their enfant terrible phase before becoming established, but Sakamoto seems to stay on the forefront of culture at every stage of his career; it was true of his early years, his work with Bertolucci, or even his 20-year prescience about the state of the music industry today. And you don't fully grasp the breath-taking breadth of Sakamoto's oeuvre until you sit down to discuss composing a film in 2016 that evokes the classic soundtracks of the Kurasawa-era and quickly wind up talking about the early years of Italo disco and Giorgio Moroder.
Beginning at the beginning, Sakamoto started out as a music composition student, but apparently some of the inspiration for his legendary career turn toward technopop had to do with wanting to avoid writing music. Sakamoto puts it this way: "I was studying very serious contemporary music at university, but I really hated writing music. That's why I switched to technopop." I ask him what exactly it is about writing music that he had difficulty with. He tells me, "It hurts." I wonder to myself what exactly hurt, was it the metaphysical pain of self-expression. "It hurts my finger," he interjects. "My style of holding a pencil is so strange. It really hurts." He shows me with a pen he has handy, and, indeed, like everything he does, his style of writing is totally unique.
I asked him what type of films he enjoyed growing up; he says he "was a more avant-garde film culture fan." I asked him if he still appreciated the avant-garde. Of course he does. "It's my nature.

Goleta City Council Public Hearing Regarding Lot Splits and Residential Projects in the Single-Family Residential Zone District
By City of Goleta
Thu Dec 09, 2021 | 10:59am
On Tuesday, December 21, 2021, at 5:30 P.M., the Goleta City Council will conduct a virtual public hearing to consider adoption of Urgency and Non-Urgency Ordinances related to implementation of Senate Bill 9 of 2021 (SB 9). The Planning Commission will consider the below-described ordinances on December 13, 2021. Any recommendations from the Planning Commission will be provided to City Council.
SB 9 requires cities to both (a) allow a single-family lot to be split, roughly into halves and (b) allow up to two single-family dwellings to be developed on each single-family residential lot.
The proposed ordinances would amend Title 5 (Business Licenses and Regulations), Title 16 (Subdivisions), and Title 17 (Zoning) of the Goleta Municipal Code (GMC) to ensure the City's regulations comply with SB 9 and to maintain City authority to regulate SB 9 projects where possible. Proposed amendments to the GMC include the following:
An amendment to Title 5 to include a cross-reference prohibition of Short-Term Vacation Rental licenses for any site where an SB 9 project was approved under Title 16 or Title 17.
New standards and procedures in Title 16 for urban lot splits in the Single-Family Residential (RS) zone district to subdivide existing residential lots in two. Consistent with SB 9, urban lot splits will be processed ministerially if certain objective standards are met.
New standards and procedures in Title 17 to process applications for up to two principal dwelling units on lots in the RS zone district. This could be an additional unit on an existing lot that already has a principal dwelling or up to two new dwelling units on a newly created lot through an urban lot split described above. Consistent with SB 9, these new residential dwelling units will be processed ministerially if certain objective standards are met.
View the Notice here. The agenda and staff report for the hearing will also be posted on the City website at www.CityofGoleta.org/GoletaMeetings prior to the meeting date.
Information on how to participate in the public hearing will be included on the City Council agenda.
For further information on the project, contact Anne Wells, Advance Planning Manager, at (805) 961-7557 or awells@cityofgoleta.org. For inquiries in Spanish, please contact Marcos Martinez at (805) 562-5500 or mmartinez@cityofgoleta.org.
