Re: 3 dead, 2 missing on Mount Everest after congested climbing, poor conditions near summit
3 dead, 2 missing on Mount Everest after congested climbing, poor conditions near summit
May 21, 2012 08:31AM Admin
KATMANDU, Nepal — Three climbers died and two others were missing while descending from the summit of Mount Everest — a toll that raised concerns about overcrowding in the "death zone" at the top of the world's tallest peak. The deadly weekend unfolded as an estimated 150 climbers tried to reach the top Friday and Saturday as they rushed to use a brief window of good weather in an otherwise troubled climbing season. Many had been waiting at a staging camp for several days for their chance to head to the summit.

This has become a serious problem, similar to Half Dome cables. The more I read about the long lines near the Hillary Step, the more I believe this has become too Disneyland-ish. Many people that go aren't prepared at all. While It's impossible to be fully prepared for conditions @ 8500m, many people don't realize how truly grueling it is up there. It's easy to dish out the money, read about it and go "I can handle it, no problem." Once up there, different story. People can't think clearly, summit fever takes over, and money is the usual cause for lack of objectivity (for climber/sherpa/local govt). I'm usually for people's right to enjoy nature, the outdoors, etc - but some things have become nonsensical too.
I couldn't agree more. Only that I think Mt. Everest is a zillion times worse than the cables. One of the victims was from Germany so I had a good chance to follow the local press. From what I can say - and I don't have ANY kind of alpine or high altitude experience - he seemed to be prepared (if it is possible to prepare for this kind of altitude) but died within a very short period of time from HACE HACE - Wikipedia after he summited.
He was a doctor so he certainly knew the risk. To make things even more tragic apparently he was part of a volunteer group that was supposed to remove trash and waste from Mt. Everest. I don't know if this is true but several sources say so.
Usually I'm also for people's right to enjoy nature etc. but in my opinion this has nothing to do with enjoying nature. To me it's more the vanity in mankind that people risk their lives (and with a casualty rate of 6,x% it is certainly a high risk compared to any other outdoor activity). It has no value whatsoever. Yes, Tenzing Norgay and Hillary were cool (maybe we have to throw Mallory in the mix) and maybe the first summit without oxygen (which was a suicide mission in itself) but after that.....tssss....
But most important I'm angry about the tremendous amount of trash and waste these "great outdoor-people" are leaving on Mt. Everest.
Having said all that: I truly feel for every family who are suffering from the losses as it is very sad that a loved one has gone.

From NG. Looks like a bit like the cables back in 2010.
Thanks for the photo. The line looks crazy - courageous people marching along to the top. Here are detailed descriptions of the notable markers on the way up:
Everest Summit Path
I must say my chances of survival up there are close to zero.

According to several sources approx. 200 people are expected to try for the summit during the upcoming weekend. This potentially means "hours of delay" at hotspots like the Hillary Step. Let's keep our fingers crossed nobody gets hurt or worse.

Why not have an escalator the last 500 or 600 meters. That would speed these guys up. Maybe have a little stand at the top to help fund the project. Sell T Shirts and stuff. Like I climbed all this way and all I got was this lousy T Shirt

An escalator wouldn't be climate controlled. I was thinking a nice aerial tram from base camp would do the trick and handle all the crowds with aplomb. They could then have Thomas Keller open a three-star Michelin Restaurant on top of Everest. A restaurant with great food and a great view!

There's always the helicopters.
Local news are reporting that another German climber died on Mt. Everest after breaking his leg in 8610m altitude (8848m summit).
Name, age and more details are unknown but the death has been confirmed by local officials.
Outside Magazine are reporting these news as well.
Take a look at this incredible video. This has NOTHING to do with sports, outdoors or anything else. All those idiots should be banned from the outdoors for life. How irresponsible is this just to stand on top of that stupid mountain?!
Really bad day on Mt. Everest
Bad News on Everest
I seriously doubt I could handle the altitude at base camp.
Since your username is "Half Dome Hiker", I would say for some it would be the same reason you decided to summit Half Dome, and for others Mt. Whitney.
Just like climbing Half Dome, summiting Everest becomes a personal quest for many people. They want to to it probably for a number of reasons but a couple of them probably would be because they think 1) it would be a great challange, and 2) it would be cool to stand on top of the highest place on Earth. It doesn't have to be a sport to be worthwhile. And I would disagree with you that it has nothing to do with the outdoors, simply because it has everything to do about being outdoors in a very inhospital place where death is a real possibility and not some abstract concept.
Summiting peaks is something I'm not too interested in myself. I rather look at and take photos of the grand mountains than be on top of them. Even summiting Half Dome has never really appealed to me too much (because of the crowds). Maybe if the new permit system makes climbing Half Dome more of a "wilderness" experience, I'll consider it in the future.
That said, I can definitely understand the appeal of people who would want to summit both Half Dome and Mt. Everest. They're iconic mountains and their iconic status is a strong attraction in it of itself (as it is with Mt. Whitney).

""the fact that many climbers are so exhausted and woozy from their efforts at altitude that they have a hard time even remembering what happened during their own climbs""
I love the idea of reaching mountaintops. But if you can't remember where you have been it defeats the purpose for me. I just hate that this will be used to justify the limits placed on Half Dome hiking and the "crowds" there. With Everest, I understand the tight weather time frames that create a restricted travel time. I haven't seen any evidence that the Half Dome cables have any sort of crowd problem at 8:00 am or 3:00 pm. I can't get over EMPTY cables in the afternoon of a perfect weather August summer day. Yes, I've seen the pictures of the crowded Half Dome cables but I can match those with pictures of my own. And yes I am frustrated that when the time comes for me to do the hike with my boys the toughest part of the trip is going to be getting the permits---all because of the "crowd" perception.
The cables issue might be overstated/overblown, but a ranger should be on the saddle to monitor the traffic on weekends (Fri-Sun) & holidays (Mem/4th/Labor). When it's crowded, it tends to be really crowded. Opposite for normal weekdays. Not much in-between. At least that's the feeling I get (from what I've seen).
I agree with most of what you have said. Is it challenging to climb Mt. Everest?! You bet. Could I do it?! No. Do I want to?! No. I'd rather hike/walk through the deserts of the Southwest for a couple of days not seeing a single soul for days.
And yes, I hiked Half Dome. Way before it was the thing to do. And it was challenging for me 'cause where I live the highest elevation is 550ft. within a 200 mls radius. Not mentioning the long 12-15 hrs. flight to get to California in the first place. You haven't missed anything as there are "better" hikes around and just like you I hope that the new permit system will provide a more enjoyable experience.
And of course I understand why people like to hike Half Dome, climb Mt. Whitney or climb Mt. Everest. However if I take a close look at the latest developments at Mt. Everest the only thing greater than the mountain must be mankind's vanity. I feel it is just irresponsible what's going on there and I am angry about all the trash, waste and crap left behind.

Chinese stars earn third world trophy
Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo became pairs champions for the third time Wednesday at the World Figure Skating Championships.
They won the world titles in 2002 and 2003 but missed the championships the last two years because of injuries.
Skating a lyrical program to "Meditation" by Massenet, the two-time Olympic bronze medalists had the top technical feats of the evening, while combining artistry to score an international best of 203.50 points.
They had two throws that covered a lot of ice after the three-minute mark. They also did double axels from close pair spread eagle position with their bodies nearly touching before the jump.
Last year's world champions, Pang Qing and Tong Jian of China were a distant second with 188.46.
Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy of Germany, the European champions, were third at 187.39.
North American couples finished down the standings. Canadians Valerie Marcoux and Craig Buntin were sixth and Americans Rena Inoue and John Baldwin were eighth after she fell three times on a jump and two throw moves.
Two couples withdrew. Russians Maria Petrova and Alexei Tikhonov, the 2000 world champions, pulled out earlier in the day with her having right leg pain.
Poles Dorota and Mariusz Siudek, skating their final competition, withdrew after warming up with him bending over in pain and her in tears.

A piece of art can be decorative or collectable or both. A piece of decorative art is something that is solely intended to be displayed to compliment a room. A piece of collectable art is artwork that will likely maintain or increase in value. I've spoken with other artists and collectors who will judge and label artwork as purely decorative and I have sometimes begged to differ.
It seemed to me that artwork sometimes get pigeonholed. Not always, but it does happen. Sometimes artists will call a piece of artwork decorative if the creator's pieces were being acquired and used to decorate their home.
This does not mean the artwork is purely decorative. In fact, no one can be 100% sure that a piece of original artwork will always be purely decorative art.
Collecting and decorating with art is a very personal choice. An interior decorator may be mostly concerned with decorating or staging a home or room whereas an art collector or enthusiast may select artwork solely based on how collectible the piece is. Or, someone may decorate with collectable artwork. People often buy artwork based on emotion. Someone may fall in love with a print of an unknown because it evokes an emotion within them that is enjoyable. Or it may match their couch.
Using artwork for purely decorative purposes is an art in and of itself. Staging a room can be tremendous joy. Rooms can be staged by color or theme. Rooms can be decorated to produce feelings of excitement, peace and calm, mindfulness, or any emotion including the bittersweet feelings of nostalgia. Decorating with art can help define a room's purpose.
Did you ever consider that the artist who creates the piece of art you love is a healer? Decorating with artwork is healing. Sitting in a room with a lovely piece of artwork to gaze at can quiet or excite the mind and stimulate the body's chemistry. Did you ever consider that artists are chemists? When we have feelings we release powerful hormones such as endorphins. The next time you consider adding a piece of artwork to your collection, think about how the piece makes you feel. Does it excite you? Does it make you feel at peace? Does it remind you of a fond memory? At this point, when one experiences the benefits of feeling good, collectability means little. When a piece can elicit both emotion and potential increase in value this is a bonus.

Khia: Motor Mouf A.K.A. Khia Shamone
Story and Interview by Matthew Shack
((( Audio Interview Below )))
Khia Chambers is best known for three prominent reasons... Firstly, for her USA Billboard charting single "My Neck, My Back (Lick It)," (2002) which was a top five hit in the UK.
Secondly, for being a former-contestant on VH1 Reality Series,Miss Rap Supreme along with her infamous run-in with MC Serch after her controversial elimination from the show.
And lastly, for her tendency to tell you about yourself in the most straightforward way possible when pushed TOO far.
Don't believe the last one? Ok, try her and find out the hard way!
The self-proclaimed Queen of the South has "chewed beef" with the best of them (from Jacki-O to Trina to Janet Jackson to Nikki Minaj).
Khia's fourth studio album, Motor Mouf A.K.A. Khia Shamone, is a double disc set which features her newest single, "Been A Bad Girl".
So, which Khia are you really going to get? Well, that ALL depends on you, my friend.
Khia talks to The Flow's own, Matthew Shack about everything...Khia.
TFM: You've got this new album that's out right now. Give us an idea of what you had in your mind this time, when you were putting it together.
Khia: The new album consists of two CDs. Its half hip-hop and half R&B with live instrumentation. I'm trying to introduce my fans to the songstress side of me. I'm a lover of music first,and I want to be more respected as an artist as a whole and not just be put in a box as a rapper. So the double disc is going to showcase me being multi-talented as a songwriter, music composer and music producer.
TFM: The title, "Motor Mouf AKA Khia Shamone", what exactly does that entail? It sounds like it's a dual-personality.
Khia: Of course, I'm 'Motor Mouf', 'Mouth of the South', 'Mouth Almighty', 'Gangstress', 'Boss Lady', 'Married to the Streets','Thug Misses'…it's just a follow up to my persona of being a female MC. So it's a follow up to "All Hail the Queen"or "Nasti Muzik". This is my sixth album so 'Motor Mouf' is really what the fans are used to and what they know as me being, 'Motor Mouf' and not biting my tongue. 'Khia Shamone'is me. It's who I am as a person and being a lover of music as an art form.
TFM: You have really made a name for yourself as not only an artist but as a person who is extremely to the point and straight forward. Have you've always been that way?
Khia: I've always been that way. That's basically me and who I am.
TFM: I saw your interview with ABC News and one thing that was very surprising to a lot of people is that you're know for having this hard persona. But by watching the video, you were extremely engaging, personable and charming. Can you turn it on and off when you want to?
Khia: I'm always charming and sweet. It's just when you're dealing with industry people, it [solely] depends on who [you are] dealing with, what kind of questions that they're asking, and the type of people that they are. The lady on the show was personable, her questions were great and she wasn't out for blood. And I think that a lot of the other people that I kind of take their heads off,is that [all] the negativity starts on their end. All reporters aren't like that. All interviews are not like that. So it all depends on who's doing the interviews, what are the questions that they're asking and how the interview goes and flows. I hate to say it but most of the time; the A-list interviews are good. The bottom of the barrel interviews, which hip-hop has kind of become are trash. And I guess that's why I get into it with them most of the time.
TFM: You have worked with one of the most street credible artists out there, Gucci Mane in the past. How does street credibility affect you as a female artist?
Khia: I think I have more street cred than a lot of[these]wanna-be gangster rappers. I've known Gucci [since] before he was Gucci. I know the real Gucci and I have love and respect for who he is as a person. I think a lot of these guys get caught up in images [while] trying to be a certain way because they think that's the only way they're going to be received in hip-hop. I only work with people that I respect, and I guess that's why I don't do a lot of features or collaborations. Like I said, I've known Gucci and his family before he became the Gucci Mane that I guess, the world knows. He's a wonderful person and I respect him.
TFM: Where do you think the state the art of female MC'ing is headed in 2010 and who are you digging lyrically?
Khia: Hmmm…Everybody always asks me that question and I always get into trouble. So I'm trying to learn that if I don't have [anything] nice to say, don't say anything at all and keep my opinions to myself. I guess I would just say, I'm bored with it. There's no MC Lytes or Queen Latifahs or Lauren Hills. There's none of them. I'm reaching for higher things. Not just getting up there, butt-naked and everybody up there looking at your behind because it's BIG…and it's not a show.'Lil Wayne is the only person I feel that's holding down for hip-hop.
TFM: Since you've brought up big booties and whatnot, what's your opinion of the 'Lil Kim and Nikki Minaj situation?
Khia: I think that it's funny. I think that is the only thing that is selling is a good story…a good drama-gossip filled story. The cat-fights are selling more than records. I think that the only way these writers can write a story and sell a paper or a magazine is by putting the drama and all of the disrespect in there. They're happy to see those two or to make it seem like those two are at each others throats but I'm sure [that] neither one of them are really interested in the other and everybody needs to be concerned with making the money. [Laughs]


Joseph Campbell (1879-1944) was a talented poet,reared in Catholic Belfast, who became a pioneer of Irish Studies in the United States. His reputation as an Irish Irelander was gained in London, but in 1921 he settled outside Dublin and soon became active in radical nationalism. In the revolutionary years he became a republican justice and local councillor in Co. Wicklow. Having opposed the Anglo-Irish Treaty, he was arrested in Bray, spending the entire Civil War interned in Mountjoy and Tintown on the Curragh. Campbell's voluminous diaries, cannily concealed from his captors, provide much more than a chronicle of events and experiences. Being the work of a skilled writer and acute observer, they offer revealing cameos of his republican colleagues, vivid notes of personal conversations, and imaginative reflections on the psychological effects of incarceration. Sympathetically edited by another distinguished poet and scholar, this selection from his diaries will fascinate all students of the Irish Civil War.

WVU Faculty Senate calls on president to quit
May 6, 2008, 12:53 AM UTC / Source: The Associated Press
West Virginia University's Faculty Senate on Monday demanded that the school president resign over the improper awarding of a degree to the governor's daughter, saying the college cannot rebuild its reputation until he leaves office.
The nonbinding motion of no confidence — which passed 77-19, with one abstention — demands that President Mike Garrison step down, or that the WVU Board of Governors require his resignation.
"We all want the healing to begin, but this will not be possible until after a thorough cleansing," said math professor Sherman Riemenschneider, who sponsored the motion. "Our wounds are too deep."
Garrison has repeatedly said he won't resign. He has support from the Board of Governors and Gov. Joe Manchin, who appointed the majority of the board.
In a statement issued Monday evening, Garrison said he will continue to work closely with faculty, "particularly those who have already demonstrated a commitment and willingness to work with others across campuses, across disciplines, and across differences of opinion, on each of the challenges that face us."
Faculty discontent and outrage have grown since an independent panel concluded April 23 that WVU administrators and educators gave Manchin's daughter, Heather Bresch, a degree she didn't earn.
Provost Gerald Lang and business school Dean R. Stephen Sears have resigned their administrative posts to return to teaching, and at least one donor has threatened to withhold gifts.
Several Garrison aides, including chief of staff Craig Walker, participated in the October meeting where Sears, Lang and others decided to add courses and grades to Bresch's transcript, then retroactively award her a 1998 executive master's of business administration degree.
The panel determined there was no academic foundation for concluding Bresch had earned the degree, and that administrators relied too heavily on verbal assertions and caved to political pressure — real or perceived.
The report did not cite evidence that Garrison directly interfered, but concluded the presence of key staff created "palpable" pressure to go along.
"This was not a minor change. This was not a minor mistake. The prerogative of the faculty was usurped," said Sophie Blades, a representative for retired faculty at Monday's meeting. She called the case "an academic crime."
Physics professor Boyd Edwards said Garrison has enraged alumni and prompted donors to close their wallets. Students, he said, are even threatening to disrupt next week's commencement.
For Garrison to remain now would show "he cares more about himself than about WVU," Edwards said.
Monday was not the first time WVU's Faculty Senate voted against Garrison, a lawyer who entered the president's job last year with stronger political credentials than academic ones. The senate strongly supported the other finalist for the position.
Garrison previously worked for former Gov. Bob Wise and as a lobbyist for generic drug maker Mylan Inc., whose chairman, Milan Puskar, is a key donor to the university. Bresch is a Mylan executive and a longtime friend of Garrison.
Senate Chairman Steve Kite expressed support for Garrison, noting that he was not found to have participated in the decision to help Bresch.
"We should not be guided by suspicions or revisitation of the presidential search process," he said, praising Garrison for trying to create openness and giving the faculty more of a voice in governance.
"We would be flat-out lucky to find another president, no matter what their background, to be so inclined," he said.

Armageddon is a 1998 American science fiction disaster film produced and directed by Michael Bay, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, and released by Touchstone Pictures. The film follows a group of blue-collar deep-core drillers sent by NASA to stop a gigantic asteroid on a collision course with Earth. It stars Bruce Willis with Billy Bob Thornton, Liv Tyler, Ben Affleck, Will Patton, Keith David, Michael Clarke Duncan, Peter Stormare, and Steve Buscemi.

The film was a commercial success, grossing $553 million worldwide against a $140 million budget and becoming the highest-grossing film of 1998. However, the film received mixed reviews from critics.

Plot
A massive meteor shower destroys the orbiting Space Shuttle Atlantis, before entering the atmosphere and bombarding New York City. The meteors were pushed out of the asteroid belt by a rogue comet that also jarred loose a Texas-sized asteroid that will impact Earth in 18 days, causing an event that will wipe out all life on the planet. NASA devises a plan to have a deep core oil driller team to be trained into astronauts and drill a hole into the asteroid, into which they will insert and detonate a nuclear bomb to destroy the asteroid.

They recruit Harry Stamper, a third-generation oil driller and owner of his own oil drilling company. Harry agrees to help, but on the condition that he bring in his own team to do the drilling. He picks his best employees for the job: Chick Chapel, his best friend and right-hand man; geologists Rockhound and Oscar Choice; and drillers Bear Curlene, Freddie Noonan, Max Lennert, and A.J. Frost (who has been dating Harry's daughter Grace despite Harry's objections). Over twelve days, they train with astronaut Willie Sharp, who will pilot Freedom — one of the two shuttles to fly to the asteroid, the other being the Independence. Before leaving, Chick apologizes to his ex-wife for wronging her and sees his son, who is unaware of his parentage. Grace accepts A.J.'s marriage proposal, much to Harry's reluctant dismay; she later has her father promise to return home safe with her fiancé.

Following the destruction of Shanghai by another meteor strike, word of the massive asteroid becomes public to the world. Both shuttles take off without incident and dock with the Russian Space Station Mir to take on fuel. During fueling, a spark causes a fire. A.J. and Russian Cosmonaut Lev Andropov manage to board Independence before the space station is destroyed.

Approaching the asteroid, Independence is damaged by debris and crashes, killing all on board except Lev, Bear, and A.J. They embark in the shuttle's Armadillo to find the Freedom crew, which lands 26 miles from its intended landing site. When the drilling goes slower than predicted, Sharp reports to Mission Control that it is unlikely that the team will reach the depth necessary to destroy the asteroid before "Zero Barrier", the point after which detonating the rock will not save Earth. Even though it might cause total mission failure, the President of the United States decides to remote detonate the bomb from Earth. Sharp and Harry have a vicious argument, but agree to defuse the bomb and work together after Harry promises Sharp that he will accomplish the mission. They make progress on drilling, but a missed gas pocket causes a blowout that destroys the Armadillo and kills Max. Just as Harry, NASA, and the world believe the mission to be a failure, A.J. and the others arrive in the second Armadillo, but not before another meteor devastates Paris.

A.J. succeeds in drilling the hole to the required depth, but a rock storm kills Gruber and damages the remote detonator, forcing someone to stay behind and manually detonate the bomb. They draw straws; the responsibility falls upon A.J. Harry takes him down to the asteroid's surface, and disconnects A.J.'s air hose, forcing him into the shuttle's air lock. He tells A.J. that he is the son he never had and that he would be proud to have him marry Grace. Using the Armadillo, Harry tearfully gives Grace his blessing to marry A.J., and Grace says that she is proud to be his daughter.

After some difficulty, Freedom takes off, but a second blowout causes Harry to lose his grip on the detonator. Just before Zero Barrier, he detonates the bomb and saves the planet. The astronauts land on Earth safely. A.J. and Grace are reunited and Chick reconciles with his ex-wife and estranged son. Later, A.J. and Grace are married with the portraits of Harry and the others lost on the mission present in memoriam.

Cast

Production

According to Bruce Joel Rubin, writer of Deep Impact, a production president at Disney took notes on everything the writer said during lunch about his script and initiated Armageddon as a counter film at Disney. Nine writers worked on the script, five of whom are credited. In addition to Robert Roy Pool, Jonathan Hensleigh, Tony Gilroy, Shane Salerno and J. J. Abrams, the writers involved included Paul Attanasio, Ann Biderman, Scott Rosenberg and Robert Towne. Originally, it was Hensleigh's script, based on Pool's original, that had been given the green-light by Touchstone. Then-producer, Jerry Bruckheimer, hired the succession of scribes for rewrites and polishes. Astronomers would subsequently note that Deep Impact was more scientifically accurate.

Bruce Willis was cast in the film as part of a three-picture deal he cut with the studio to compensate them for the dissolution of 1997's Broadway Brawler. He received a significant pay cut for the picture as part of the deal.

In May 1998, Walt Disney Studios chairman Joe Roth expanded the film's budget by $3 million to include additional special effects scenes by Dream Quest Images showing an asteroid impacting Paris. This additional footage, incorporated two months prior to the film's release, was specifically added for the television advertising campaign to visually differentiate the film from Deep Impact which was released a few months before.

Music

Release

Marketing
Prior to Armageddons release, the film was advertised in Super Bowl XXXII at a cost of $2.6 million.

Home media
Despite a mixed critical reception, a DVD edition of Armageddon was released by The Criterion Collection, a specialist film distributor of primarily arthouse films that markets what it considers to be "important classic and contemporary films" and "cinema at its finest". In an essay supporting the selection of Armageddon, film scholar Jeanine Basinger, who taught Michael Bay at Wesleyan University, states that the film is "a work of art by a cutting-edge artist who is a master of movement, light, color, and shape—and also of chaos, razzle-dazzle, and explosion". She sees it as a celebration of working men: "This film makes these ordinary men noble, lifting their efforts up into an epic event." Further, she states that in the first few moments of the film all the main characters are well established, saying, "If that isn't screenwriting, I don't know what is".

The film was also released on VHS and DVD by Touchstone Home Video on November 13, 1998, and would surpass Pretty Woman to become Buena Vista Home Entertainment's best-selling live-action title. Armageddon then premiered on both VHS and DVD formats on February 1, 1999, in the UK. It was the country's best-selling DVD release, selling over 100,000 copies. However, this record would be surpassed by The Matrix later that year. The film was released on a standard edition Blu-ray in 2010 with only a few special features.

Television airing
By April 2002, ABC airings of Armageddon had already received modifications due to the September 11 attacks that occurred a year prior. The scene where the World Trade Center was hit by meteors and caught on fire was edited out because of its similarity to the attacks.

Following the 2003 Columbia disaster, some screen captures from the opening scene where Atlantis is destroyed were passed off as satellite images of the disaster in a hoax. Additionally, the American cable network FX, which had intended to broadcast Armageddon that evening, removed the film from its schedule and aired Aliens in its place.

Reception

Box office
Armageddon was released on , 1998 in  in the United States and Canada. It ranked first at the box office with an opening weekend gross of , combined with  from its first five days. It grossed  in the United States and Canada and  in other territories for a worldwide total of . It was the highest-grossing film of 1998 worldwide and the second-highest-grossing film of that year in the United States, finishing just behind Saving Private Ryan.

Critical response
Armageddon received mostly mixed reviews from film critics, many of whom took issue with "the furious pace of its editing". On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a 38% "Rotten" approval rating based on 125 reviews, with an average rating of 5.2/10. The critical consensus states, "Lovely to look at but about as intelligent as the asteroid that serves as the movie's antagonist, Armageddon slickly sums up the cinematic legacies of producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Michael Bay." Metacritic gave the film a weighted average score of 42 out of 100, based on 23 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A−" on an A+ to F scale.

The film is on the list of Roger Ebert's most hated films. In his original review, Ebert stated, "The movie is an assault on the eyes, the ears, the brain, common sense and the human desire to be entertained". On Siskel and Ebert, Ebert gave it a Thumbs Down. However, his co-host Gene Siskel gave it a Thumbs Up, commenting on the noise and intensity of the film, but also stating that he found the film to be amusing. Ebert went on to name Armageddon as the worst film of 1998 (though he was originally considering Spice World). Todd McCarthy of Variety also gave the film a negative review, noting Michael Bay's rapid cutting style: "Much of the confusion, as well as the lack of dramatic rhythm or character development, results directly from Bay's cutting style, which resembles a machine gun stuck in the firing position for 2 hours."
In April 2013, in a Miami Herald interview to promote Pain & Gain, Bay was quoted as having said:…We had to do the whole movie in 16 weeks. It was a massive undertaking. That was not fair to the movie. I would redo the entire third act if I could. But the studio literally took the movie away from us. It was terrible. My visual effects supervisor had a nervous breakdown, so I had to be in charge of that. I called James Cameron and asked "What do you do when you're doing all the effects yourself?" But the movie did fine.Some time after the article was published, Bay changed his stance, claiming that his apology only related to the editing of the film, not the whole film, and accused the writer of the article for taking his words out of context. The author of the article, Miami Herald writer Rene Rodriguez, claimed: "NBC asked me for a response, and I played them the tape. I didn't misquote anyone. All the sites that picked up the story did."

Scientific accuracy

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Bay admitted that the film's central premise "that NASA could actually do something in a situation like this" was unrealistic. Additionally, the largest known potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) is (53319) 1999 JM8, which is only  in diameter, while the asteroid in the movie is described as being "the size of Texas". Near the end of the credits, there is a disclaimer stating, "The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's cooperation and assistance does not reflect an endorsement of the contents of the film or the treatment of the characters depicted therein."

The infeasibility of the H-bomb approach was published by four undergraduate physics students in 2011 and then reported by The Daily Telegraph in 2012:

In the commentary track, Ben Affleck says he "asked Michael why it was easier to train oil drillers to become astronauts than it was to train astronauts to become oil drillers, and he told me to shut the fuck up, so that was the end of that talk."

Accolades

Other media

Merchandising
Revell and Monogram released two model kits inspired by the film's spacecraft and the Armadillos, in 1998. The first one, "Space Shuttle with Armadillo drilling unit", included an X-71, a small, rough Armadillo and a pedestal. The second one, "Russian Space Center", included the Mir, with the docking adapter seen in the film, and another pedestal.

In 2011, Fantastic Plastic released another X-71 kit, the "X-71 Super Shuttle", the goal of which was to be more accurate than the Revell/Monogram kit.

Theme park attraction
Armageddon – Les Effets Speciaux was an attraction based on Armageddon at Walt Disney Studios Park located at Disneyland Paris. The attraction simulated the scene in the movie in which the Russian Space Station is destroyed. Michael Clarke Duncan ("Bear" in the film) was featured in the pre-show.

Dr Abdal Hakim Murad on Saudi scholars debating leaving Salafist teachings.
Interesting: Dr Abdal Hakim Murad (Tim Winter) is saying Saudi sheikhs are now admitting on Saudi tv that ISIS ideology has its roots in salafi ideology.
I do not agree. There are lot of factors that need to put on the table if we want to be honest including dealing with sufism, and what it is origin, and why the imperial west prefer this kind of philosophy ?
However, I'm not interested to go with these details anymore. I think time is gonna solve this problem with muslims who still consider the western approval for their acts to be considered good or bad.
Virtually 100% of terrorists are salafists…they explicitly propound salafist doctrines and salafist mindset.
Of course, the reverse is not true. The vast, vast majority of salafists are not terrorists. The majority of salafists hate terrorists. This is very important point to avoid bigotry, discrimination, and generalizations about our salafi brothers and sisters.
We should not be concerned with wanting Western approval or Eastern or Northern or Southern approval. But deflecting this point as if it is all about wanting western approval is a canard and also not true.
I am not against salafist ideology per se since there is also good in aspects of it like an aversion to anything that compromises tawhid.
Unfortunately, salafist ideology has an anthropomorphic conception of God edge to it which compromises tawhid. Sadly, they don't realize it and suppress discussion of it since the salafist view is also averse to penetrating rational analysis.
Back to the main point, it is undeniable that some salafist doctrines promote an extremist view in a minority of people and much narrow mindedness to a much larger group of people.
But we can't throw the baby out with the bathwater. A doctrine that promotes an extremist view is not necessarily bad as it can manifest in an extremist promoting way not in isolation but in combination with other doctrines.
It takes some sophisticated and above all open hearted and open minded thinking to understand and especially practice to do something about it.
Unfortunately, change is inconvenient and people in sects tend to get cozy with their sect and don't like to consider evidence that is contra to their cherished group think or group solidarity. It is essentially a form of tribalism.
But God can see through it perfectly. And those who look the other way and trying to covering up the evidence and the discussion are only harming their own hereafter. And this repeated and stubborn neglect and preposterous denial is making Muslims suffer intensely all over the world.
With that being said, I agree with Anon that a diversity of emphasis can be beneficial to someone who is trying to take the best of each group.
Any potential anthropomorphism in salafi approach is because of a deficiency of reading the Qur'an with tadabbur (in a critical way) and failure to read the Qur'an holistically and failure to exercise the faculty that is demanded numerous times in the Qur'an, that of reason.
Any potential extremist thinking among salafists is also due to the salafist approach that does not give deliberate on the Qur'an and a lack of appreciation of reason and logic.
When Islamophobes and debaters against Islam attack Islam or Muslims in general, they must realize that they are pointing to events in which virtually 100% of terrorists are salafists. Thus, any inference to Islam or Muslims at large is a fallacy.
As mentioned above, a second point is that the vast, vast majority of salafists are against terrorism and that they articulate teachings by their scholars that are clearly and emphatically against terrorism.
But Islamophobes and anti-Islam evangelical debaters never mention these two points.
Also Islamophobes and those attacking Islam in debates should realize that Salafi Muslims are a minority of Sunni Muslims.
The Quran says God created us in diversity so that we may come to know one another in mutual respect. So I think a diversity of ideas in Islam is for the benefit of our own spiritual maturity—this includes Salafi as well as Sufi ideas—and all the spectrum in-between.
When "identity" becomes worshipped to the degree that people are even killed for it—obviously Taqwa/love of God has been forgotton.
Promoting a Tawheedic orientation can only be achieved by promoting mutual respect, compassion, mercy and justice towards the other—and for that, we need to acknowledge that none are superior/inferior to another because we are all creations of the ONE God. Within Islam, our diversity is our test/challenge to achieve spiritual maturity.


FAIRFIELD, Conn. (July 25, 2018) – Yemen could be on the brink of a deadly new cholera epidemic that could affect thousands of people in the coming weeks unless urgent action is taken, Save the Children is warning.
Save the Children is becoming increasingly concerned that Hodeidah city could be besieged as the Saudi- and Emirati-led coalition makes advances in northern Yemen and continues to consolidate gains around the south of the city. This could potentially cut off Hodeidah city, its port and its people from the rest of the country.
Conditions are ideal for cholera to spread rapidly in the hot summer months, with almost 3,000 suspected cases reported in the first week of July across the country – the highest number seen since the start of the year.
Even a small uptick in cases in Hodeidah poses a grave risk to other parts of Yemen. More than 245,000 people have already fled the governorate to neighboring areas, with some escaping to makeshift camps that have no sanitation and no running water – conditions that could lead to a cholera outbreak.
"Cholera could spread rapidly in Yemen, potentially infecting thousands of children and completely devastating the already crippled health system," Carolyn Miles, President & CEO of Save the Children said.
Undernourished children are far more likely to contract cholera. The disease causes violent vomiting and diarrhea and is especially deadly for children under five years and those whose immune systems have been badly compromised by malnutrition.
The war in Yemen is now in its fourth year and has left 11.3 million children in need of humanitarian assistance. Schools and hospitals have been caught in the crossfire and fighting has prevented access to food, fuel, clean water and medical supplies. Nearly 8 million children are now going hungry every day and almost a third of under-fives are acutely malnourished. With 40 percent of the population aged under 15, this is truly a children's emergency. More than 80 percent of people rely on aid agencies for essentials such as food and healthcare.
"With more than 22 million people needing help, Yemen is now the worst humanitarian crisis in the world, and the tragedy is that the crisis is entirely man-made," added Miles. "Fighting must stop and we need a political solution to the conflict. We call on all parties to the conflict to engage in good faith with the UN Special Envoy, commit to a ceasefire and bring about a peaceful end to this war.

Car explodes in Ukraine's capital nr parliament as Poroshenko swears in
A massive blast rocked central Kiev not far from the seats of the presidential administration and the Ukrainian parliament as President Petro Poroshenko was taking his oath of office.
RIA Novosti / Andrey Stenin © RIA Novosti
The explosion occurred at about 10:00 am local time (07:00 GMT), just as Poroshenko was entering the Verkhovnaya Rada for his inauguration ceremony.
The vehicle caught on fire. Police have not yet commented on what may have caused the blast.
"The Infiniti-make car belongs to a local, who is around 50 years old," the law enforcers said. Witnesses said the car exploded as it was heading deeper into the center. The traffic was partially sealed off.
Взорванный автомобиль в Киеве, на ул. Кутузова #Киев #Украинаpic.twitter.com/qqmb2nfQ91
— And. Sm. (@spear2) June 7, 2014
The car's driver, a Ukrainian national, got his thigh broken and severely wounded and two toes ripped off in the blast. He was immediately taken to a local hospital. The police are currently investigating the case.
The car's plate numbers were consistent with those from the eastern Ukrainian city of Lugansk, which has recently claimed its independence from Kiev, local news outlets claimed.
In April, the central government launched a full-scale military operation in the east, which refused to acknowledge the coup that ousted Viktor Yanukovich. In the snap May 25 election, billionaire Petro Poroshenko won with a landslide.
However, the crackdown on the east did not stop. Since Monday, 13 people have been killed in the Lugansk region by Kiev's troops, self-defense forces said. Ten of them were civilians.
On Saturday, Poroshenko called for peace and unity in Ukraine and urged the activists in the east to lay down their arms.
"Lay down arms and I guarantee amnesty to all those who do not have blood on their handsor does not provide financial support to terrorists," he said at the ceremony.
However, the head of the People's Republic of Lugansk, Valery Bolotov, told reporters the new head of state would hardly want to visit the region.
"I don't think he will want to come while the military operation continues," Bolotov said. "I don't see how he is going to restore order here except going on with the military actions."
Bolotov said negotiations with Kiev wouldn't start until Kiev troops withdraw from the territory of the Lugansk People's Republic.

An agreement which is opposed to "Public Policy" cannot be enforced by either of the parties to it. Public Policy is the "Policy of the Law". The question as to whether an agreement is opposed to public policy or not is to be decided on general principles only and not by considering the terms of any particular contract.
The Courts ought to be very cautious in deciding a question of public policy. The doctrine must be applied with necessary variation. Each case has to be decided on its own facts. Some of the agreements which are opposed to public policy are briefly explained below with examples.
All trade with enemies is against public policy. Thus it is unlawful and is void. However, if a contract is made during peace times and later on war breaks out, one of the two things may result, Either the contract is suspended or it stands dissolved depending upon the intention of the parties to contract.
Agreements entered into for using corrupt influence in procuring Government jobs, titles or honours are unlawful and therefore are not enforceable. This is because, if such agreements are valid, corruption will increase and lead to inefficiency in public services.
Example: A paid B, a public servant a certain sum of money inducing him to retire from service, thus paving the way for A to be appointed in his place. The agreement was held to be void.
An agreement in which one party agrees to drop criminal proceedings pending in a court in consideration of some amount of money, is unlawful. Therefore, such an agreement cannot be enforced except where crime is compoundable.
Example: A had committed a robbery and so B had instituted prosecution against A. The prosecution cannot be dropped against A in consideration of his restoring the stolen property.
However, if a compromise agreement is made before any complaint is filed, it would not amount to stifling prosecution even if it is implemented after the filing of a complaint which is then withdrawn.
Example: A obtained a loan from a bank by pledging certain goods with bank as security. Subsequently, it was found that the goods were either fraudulently over valued or withdrawn in collusion with bank employees. A agreed to make up the deficiency by giving more goods as security in the form of hypothecation. But in hypothecating goods, some delay occurred. So the bank filed a complaint. However, the complaint was withdrawn by the bank after the hypothecation was completed. Here, the agreement to make up the deficiency was valid because the compromise agreement was made before the filing of any complaint.
Maintenance and champerty agreements are against public policy. So they are void. Maintenance agreements are those agreements whereby a person promises to maintain a suit in which he has no interest. Champerty agreement is one whereby a person agrees to share the results of litigation.
The difference between maintenance and champerty agreements lies in their object. The object of maintenance agreement is to encourage or foment litigation, whereas the same in Champerty agreement is sharing the proceeds of the litigation.
In England, both of these agreements are illegal and unenforceable. However, in India, only those agreements which appear to be made for purposes for gambling in litigation and for injuring or oppressing others, by encouraging unholy litigation, will not be enforced but not all maintenance and champerty agreements.
If an agreement is entered into by a person whereby he is bound to do something which is against his public duty, the agreement is void on the ground of public policy. For e.g., an agreement by an agent to get secret profits shall be void as it is opposed to public policy. Similarly, an agreement by a Government servant for the purchase of land situated within his circle is illegal as opposed to public policy.
It is an agreement, in which, one or other parties to it or third parties, receive a certain money, in consideration of marriage. Such agreements being opposed to public policy are void.
Example: A, a purohit was promised Rs.50 in consideration of procuring a second wife for B. Subsequently, A filed a case against B to recover the said amount. It was held that such a promise amounted to a marriage brokerage contract, which are illegal and that the agreement was unenforceable. Hence the suit was dismissed.
Similarly, an agreement to pay money to the parent/guardian of a minor in consideration of his or her acceptance to give the minor in marriage is void, as it is opposed to public policy.
Example: A, a father of a girl promised to give a certain sum of money to B, a father of a minor boy and B agreed to marry his minor son with A's daughter. Here the agreement is void, as it is opposed to public policy.
It is to be noted here that though an agreement to procure the marriage is void, the marriage will be a valid marriage.
Agreements tending to create monopolies are against public policy and hence are void. However, in matter like vegetables, monopoly rights can be given to one person excluding others.
If in an agreement, the consideration is committing a crime, the agreement is opposed to public policy and is void. Similarly, an agreement to indemnify a person against consequences of his criminal act is unenforceable being opposed to public policy.
Example: A promises to indemnify a firm engaged in printing and publishing a paper against the consequences of any libel that it might publish in its paper. Here, A's promise could not be enforced where the firm was forced to pay damages for libel published.
These are the agreements which prohibits wholly or partly any party to the agreement to enforce his rights in respect of any contract is void to that extent.
If an agreement curtails the period of limitation which is prescribed by the law of limitation is void. This is so because, its object is to defeat the provisions of law.
For minor children, their father is the legal guardian and in his absence, their mother will be the legal guardian. A father by law is entitled to the custody of his minor child and so cannot enter into an agreement which is not consistent with his duties arising out of such custody. If such an agreement is made, it shall be void as it is against the public policy.
Example: A, a father, having two minor boys, agreed to transfer the guardianship of those boys in favour of B and also agreed not to revoke the transfer. But subsequently after the boys had left for England for higher studies, he changed his mind and instituted a suit for custody of the boys and for a declaration that he was the proper and lawful guardian. The Privy Council, while agreeing that the father was the rightful and proper guardian held that among the Hindus the father is the natural guardian of his children during their minorities but his guardianship is in the nature of a sacred trust and he cannot therefore, during his life time, substitute another to be the guardian of his minor children in his place.
Agreements restricting personal liberty of the parties to it are void as being opposed to public policy.
Example: A obtained a loan from B, a money lender and agreed with B that, without B's consent in writing, he would not leave his job, or borrow money, or dispose of his property, or change his residence. It was held that the agreement was void.
To sum up, in India, the rule is that any restraint of marriage, whether partial or total is absolutely void except, of course, restraint on the marriage of a minor.
Example: N promised to marry only M and none else and to pay M a sum of Rs.5,000 if he married someone else. N married O. In this case the contract was in restraint of marriage and therefore it is void.
Agreements interfering with marital duties are against the public policy and are void.
Example 1: A, a married person promises to marry, during the life time or after the death of spouse. Held, it was void.
Example 2: A entered into an agreement with B in consideration of her getting a divorce and marrying A. Held, it was void.
An agreement which is made with an intention to defraud the creditors or revenue authorities is not enforceable as it is opposed to public policy.
By law, every agreement by which anyone is restrained from exercising a lawful profession, trade or business of any kind, is void to that extent.
Example: A and B were rival shop-keepers in a locality in Calcutta. B agreed to pay A, a sum of money if he would close his business in that locality. A did so but B refused to pay him the money. Held, the agreement was void, and therefore, money could not be recovered.
it is reasonable to the public.

News New Malta Permanent Residence Programme expected
Stakeholder meeting discusses reform of MRVP
Dr. Priscilla Mifsud Parker co-authored with Antoine Saliba Haig | Published on 12 Jan 2021
The Hon. Alex Muscat, Parliamentary Secretary for Citizenship and Communities, announced the intention to introduce a new Permanent Residence Programme to be proposed to parliament over the coming weeks. This is expected to replace the Malta Residency and Visa Programme (MRVP) over the next 3 months. After 5 years of the MRVP, raising €50m in revenues of which €24m went directly to the Consolidated Fund, the Government was considering a new name, "Permanent Residence", which was more akin to what the MRVP really entailed.
The junior minister was addressing an official consultation meeting with accredited agents today. He also announced the establishment of a new agency 'Residency Malta Agency', that would be responsible for administering the new Malta Permanent Residence Programme. The Parliamentary Secretary shared his ongoing work in view of "possibly linking the new Permanent Residence Programme with the Maltese Citizenship Regulations." In his introduction, the Parliamentary Secretary expressed that he "expected the immigration market to grow Post-Covid", and that the idea behind these proposed changes is to "attract more investment to Malta" while also keeping a close eye on similar programmes operated by other European Union countries. The Government plans, even after the new Malta Permanent Residence Programme is approved by Parliament, to keep listening to industry feedback and reform and improve Malta's Residence Programme, over time.
Changes Considered
Commitment to process faster while keeping high standards of due diligence.
MRVP to be replaced by Malta Permanent Residence.
Termination of Concessionaires' role.
Removal of bonds investment requirement;
Increase of Contribution to €68,000 or €98,000 if investor buys / rents property respectively.
Property purchase minimum increased to €300,000 (South of Malta or island of Gozo) and: €350,000 for the rest of Malta.
Property rental minimum rates remain €10,000 and €12,000 respectively.
Qualifying Investments
It is being proposed that under new regulations, the requirement to invest in government bonds would be removed altogether, while a mandatory donation to a Maltese registered NGO is being recommended, set at €2,000..
The government contribution is considering an increase from €30,000 to €68,000 should the applicant choose to buy a qualifying property; or €98,000 should a property be leased instead. Qualifying property in the south of Malta must be purchased for a minimum of €300,000 or rented for €10,000; while properties in the rest of Malta must have a minimum value of €350,000 or €12,000 in the case of rent. Stakeholders seem to converge on a moderate increase in the government contribution in cases where applicants choose the rental of property over buying a qualifying property. Studies have also shown that an increase in the minimum property purchase values would be sustainable but a change in the minimum rental value was discouraged.
Family applications continue to be favoured by the Malta Permanent Residence Programme, allowing the following to be included in a family application for permanent residence::
unmarried couples in a long term relationship and
dependent unmarried children with no age limit, as well as
parents and grand parents on either side
The current eligibility criteria are also being considered to remove the requirement for interested applicants to have a minimum income of €100,000; however, a capital of €500,000 (of which €150,000 must be financial assets) is now mandatory. From the Agency's side, there is a renewed commitment towards increased efficiency, with a targeted processing time of 6-8 months from start to finish.

Early childhood teachers have joined the ranks of workers who say they are working extra hours without pay.
A growing number of retail workers have complained about the practice since the Employment Court last week ruled Smiths City must back-pay staff for unpaid meetings held over the past six years.
Sandie Burn from the Educational Institute said it was a common problem in early childhood centres.
"I've heard of lots of centres that are expected to work one to one-and-a-half hours.
"They're not paid and there's no time in lieu. I've heard of one centre where they have a meeting of up to two hours and they are paid a meal allowance of $10. So, that means they are effectively working for $5 an hour which is just appalling."
The extra hours were generally for staff meetings once a week or fortnight after children had gone home for the day, and also for training courses, Mrs Burn said.
Some centres paid their teachers for such work, but others did not and teachers did not challenge the practice, she said.
"They're scared for their jobs," she said.
Mrs Burn said she hoped the Employment Court ruling would encourage early childhood centres to pay staff for attending meetings and training.
She said teachers worked hard and it was difficult for them to stay passionate about the job when they were asked to work extra hours without pay.
"There are good centres out there with employers who do care and do look after them, but there are others who don't and often if they're challenged they'll say things like 'it's company policy'," Mrs Burn said.
Te Rito Maioha Early Childhood New Zealand chief executive Kathy Wolfe said she was not aware of the situation but was not surprised it was occurring.
"ECE teachers are passionate about their work, and often go beyond the call of their profession," she said.
Ms Wolfe said early childhood teachers' conditions and pay should be similar to those of their primary and secondary school peers.
Footwear chain Hannahs has admitted staff aren't paid for overtime after stores close, while Briscoes' boss doesn't know how many of his employees have been underpaid.
Budget 2018: Can new govt deliver on education?
Analysis - This week's Budget is a major test for the coalition government - can it deliver on its promises and meet expectations in the big ticket portfolios like education, asks Jane Patterson.
The government's been told that preschoolers can't wait four years for funding that is urgently needed now.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is playing down differences between her ministers over whether to make te reo Māori compulsory in schools.
Pay talks for primary school teachers begin today and the outcome will be critical for resolving the teacher shortage, the New Zealand Educational Institute union says.

Stuart Farnsworth - Maindee Nonsensus Q&A
08/03/2018 | Finding Maindee, New Paths, Arts
On Tuesday 27th February over 30 people squeezed into the Holbrook Studio on Chepstow Road to meet Stuart Farnsworth as he explained the story behind the 188 pages of raw data found in the 2017 Maindee Nonsensus.
According to his clipboard Stuart met 12.85% of the householders [and homeless] living within Maindee. Some of the responses to his 3 questions were short, but some people shared personal experiences about their lives and one lady recited poetry. At one property Stuart's singing technique was tested. All of these words, including the 'yeahs', 'ha has' and 'innits' are faithfully recorded in the book.
This blog is account of the Q&A session. Although Stuart recorded the whole conversation - and could potentially type if out two-fingered as he did for the book - we have had to interpret and group together some of the conversations. If you want to get a copy of the book there will be some copies for sale at £10 in the Maindee Library and the pdf can be downloaded here.
The Nonsensus was conceived by artist Steven George Jones and financially supported as a New Paths project. According to the plan Steven George Jones wanted to use Maindee as a geographical canvas to meet people: the Nonsensus would challenge the conventional methods used in state-sponsored Census; it would explore how we manage to find any meaning within data. The Nonsenus would include two stages: firstly Stuart would try to meet up to 2,000 households in the Victoria Ward and conduct the survey; and secondly 5 invited artists would be given the raw data and be given the chance to interpret it as they wished. The purpose of this evening was to mark the end of the data collection stage, to read the raw data in printed form and then work out what would happen next.
Although Stuart Farnsworth claims never to have met Steven George Jones, the latter is certainly the architect [if this is the right word] of the overall project. Steven George Jones has talked about Stuart Farnsworth and the fourth wall of community art. The term fourth wall is borrowed from theatre and means for the artist/actor does not to reveal that they see or acknowledge the audience. In this case the artist must remain in character as Stuart Farnsworth and not present themselves as who they really are. However, Stuart does want to break that wall and this Q&A was part of the slow reveal.
The session was started as an interview between Stuart and Aled and later developed into a wider conversation with the audience. Throughout the 90 minutes Stuart had copies of the book placed on a low round table in front of him. Stuart wore a simple grey suit with a yellow shirt and a tie largely orange in colour with some blue detail. Stuart was in a relaxed mood throughout, although he did not reveal too much about his past and why he had chosen this part of Newport to do his survey. On his clipboard was the reminder to keep smiling.
Steven George Jones was not in attendance.
What was the Nonsensus really asking?
One of the most important points that came from the evening's discussion was that this survey did not ask for specific facts, such as the how many bedrooms people have, what type of job they do or the condition of their health. You can find such data in the Office for National statistics from 2011 - of which a little more in the blog.
Instead the Nonsensus asked people questions about what they would do to fix the World and when people were happiest. One of the comments from the audience was that the Nonsensus revealed what actually matters. Even if you don't read any more of this blog, then consider the opening approach that Stuart took to his interviews….
My name is Stuart Farnsworth and I am conducting a Nonsenus of three simple questions. I wonder,
Stuart explained that the most vulnerable person in the situation of a doorstep interview was himself. Would people actually tell him what they think? Would you reveal yourself to a stranger? Stuart knew that people would say no to his request for assistance, but also he had hope that many people would be glad to chat. The pinstripe suit, the selection of ties and the obscure questions were part of that appeal. Stuart described this as something of a clown suit
There was a large strand of the debate from this Q&A which explored the way that there is an industry of data collection, fact funding and evaluation. In truth there was a separate conversion going on about evaluation of the Finding Maindee arts programme which may have left some people a bit confused. For this reason we will add a separate blog article about this subject. In the meantime, we explore the Nonsenus as a work as art.
Artistic response
Audience member David Farnsworth, unrelated to Stuart, asked whether this book is art. When you take up a copy of the 188-page Nonsensus Raw Data Sic you will see that there are no page numbers and no index. Unless you take the time to read all the interviews there is no way of quickly stitching all of the data together to make conclusions. As we have explored with New Paths gatherings throughout 2017, the art is potentially in the openness of the process and the lack of hard definition.
Dino Rovaretti is a performance artist and will be one of the four artists who interpret the raw data. Though he has not read the book in detail, he initially seems to be drawn to doorstep drama. Marega Palser, who was part of the original artist-led research behind Finding Maindee through Mr & Mrs Clark, put forward some ideas for interpreting the data - potentially recreating the doorstep scenes. David Farnsworth commented again that art often starts as something which has no value - and we can partly assume he means here financial value. However, he explained that art appreciates as time goes on. In this respect we see that the Nonsensus arrived on our mental desktops this evening as a dense book of disparate data; the ongoing task is to interpret it and take it further...
There was a question from Tom who wanted to discuss trust. He shared his view that the people who gather the data are also people. He felt that many surveys are designed to change things; and that people know that they are potentially giving power to others when they answer questions. There is a suspicion and fear of consultation exercices.
Though the latter point about trust takes us away from the art, people obviously did trust Stuart as the artist on the edge of the fourth wall. And he got results through this commitment to the task...
Something about commitment to the job
As members of the audience put forward their views on consultation and data collection work we collectively started to touch on experiences that many people hate doing - namely to force other people to give their time and energy to something which they don't want to. Cold calling.
Stuart explained that he never wanted the Nonsensus fun factor to dip below 9 out of 10. This was a laudable aim considering that he was going door-to-door trying to interview actual people. Having spent some time with Stuart - and hearing his response to questioning at the Q&A - there has been a real energy [or to use his word buoyancy] to this work. And perhaps the choice of ties helped to keep things light? Stuart did find things hard and he reflects on the organisational challenge of conducting the Nonsensus in this blog post from 9th February. And then there is the beautifully designed book with every word faithfully printed. You sense that few people would have taken on such a huge task.
Fez explained that many people use the term 'hard to reach', when referring to certain groups of people. Fez invited us to really consider whether anybody should be hard to reach - or whether there is something more to the type of questions that get asked and whether people want to answer them… A later point from the audience about the 'consultation' interview helped us to explore the sense that those asking the questions are the ones with the power and those answering the questions are the ones who have the power to ask. What does this mean…?
Are people hard to reach? And what about this word engagement?
Jo Sutton made a point about the role of the Nonsensus as a chance to engage with people. Jo is a trustee of Maindee Unlimited and had been part of the decision to support this project. By engagement she means going out and talking to people; finding out who they are.
Stuart told us that the Nonsensus used English as the medium to communicate, but how about about connecting with the Asian population? Fez Miah had much to tell the audience about the importance of faith and Stuart told us that there were loads of responses to do with God. Many other people asked questions about what to do with this form of engagement; for example will there be more than copies of the book in Maindee Library to represent findings from the Nonsensus?
Although the following was not discussed at the Q&A, it is worth explaining that not responding to the official Census is a criminal act. The following article in the Guardian explains that 120 people were prosecuted for not taking part in the 2011 census. And that one company was paid £150m for their work - within an overall budget of nearly £500m.
But what do Office for National statistics from 2011 really tell us anyway? The survey is done every decade and there is no real underlying narrative, such as Dino advocated earlier on. Instead it is more of series of data which allows this place called the Victoria Ward - that most people cannot identify anyway - to be compared to some other place in the UK. The Census data sits on some websites for public access, but more importantly it informs a massive number of policies and practice across all levels of government and public life.
Could Stuart do better than the official Census and revisit people and present the results of the Nonsensus? Without considering the work of doing the surveys themselves, the book alone cost £10 to design and print so distributing to 2,000 households is going to be at least £20,000. Instead it is worth exploring the response that artist Steven George Jones advocated: to develop the ideas that Marega and Dino explored on the evening. Maybe everyone can help to take on this further work and encourage people to come to Maindee Library or public space to find out more and take part? Maybe the Nonsensus can go on tour to other towns and cities?
Three things that learned on the evening
The importance of asking the question - please can you help? Stuart suggested that by showing some vulnerability people are more willing to give more thoughtful responses. There is an amazing range of responses in this book.
Asking for people's opinions on such a large-scale can be a political act and have many ethical considerations e.g. it is a crime not to respond to the official census. The Nonsensus could hold more useful information about the state of life in a part of Newport in 2017 than can be found within the official census.
Collecting opinions and ideas at this scale is very hard to do and the data so vast that it is impossible to interpret it clearly. Why not say from the offset that you be wrong with your interpretation? Why not play with the fourth wall that Stuart referred to…?
John Hallam suggested that we bring all of the work together in the Finding Maindee evaluation day on July 14th. Perhaps on this day we could also invite the Arts Council of Wales and the evaluators to meet the real people who took part in this exercise?

This Guy Spares No Effort To Make North Carolina Go Vegan
Going Vegan December 27, 2016 1
Sometimes it takes a lot of passion and effort to achieve your goals and sometimes it takes a brilliant idea to get there very quickly. By setting up a vegan pop-up "restaurant", Shawn Harrison decided not to have an ordinary restaurant of his own. Instead he enjoys to travel around the country and to prepare a vegan meal whereever he is being asked to do so. The reason he prefers traveling is to "get the name and not the spot" as he puts it. In fact, Harrison has never attended culinary school. He developed his cooking techniques by working in several restaurants, some of them were vegan some were not. However, not only the idea of this traveling vegan chef is awesome but also his attitude since the only reason he puts so much passion in his work is to make Charlotte fall in love with vegan food.
Shawn Harrison is standing behind a bar that's not really a bar because, well, this isn't really a restaurant. There aren't even any tables here, except for the three fold-up tables Harrison brought. And a pool table, if you count that.
To Harrison's right, charred okra heats up over the flames from two fold-up, butane stovetops. He carefully drops fresh fig preserves from a plastic container onto an exquisitely molded mound of chèvre that rests on a less-than-exquisite brown paper plate. The contrast of elegance and the mundane might sound unusual, but it's become the norm for Harrison, who started hosting pop-up meals in June 2015.
Paper plates may not be what you'd expect, but little is at this dinner. That chèvre cheese? It isn't really cheese, because the dish is vegan, as are the other four courses this evening, as are all of Harrison's pop-up meals.
Harrison, the chef and founder of Tephra Vegan Pop-Up, prepares the cashew-based "cheese" for an autumn-themed pop-up dinner in September at The Art of Vape, a warehouse-style emporium with a smooth, exposed-brick interior. He's expecting a sold-out crowd of 16 diners tonight.
So far today, Harrison has prepared the beet and sweet potato purées, the pear butter, the miso black walnut crumble, the sage lavash, and the endless other ingredients for tonight. He packed enough food for 16 people into plastic containers and brought them here from his tiny kitchen near NoDa in a single blue cooler. To do it all, Harrison's been up since 4 a.m.
"At first, people feel skeptical of this type of dining," Harrison says.
Do you mean the pop-up style or the vegan food?
"Both," Harrison says with a laugh.
Harrison acknowledges the Southern fixation on meat. In fact, it's how his pop-up series got its name. Tephra is material created by a volcanic explosion—a violent reaction to change.
"It's like I'm changing people's perceptions, but it may be a little violent," Harrison says. "Sometimes, people are not accepting of anything different, even if it's really good."
Although Harrison compliments the handful of vegan and vegetarian restaurants in Charlotte—notably, Bean, Fern, and Luna's Living Kitchen, all places he's worked—he says no restaurant is doing what he's doing with plant-based fare.
Harrison has never been to culinary school. He learned most of his cooking techniques in the restaurants where he worked, both vegan and non-vegan.
Harrison started eating only plant-based foods in 2009. It wasn't until 2015, though, that he staged his first pop-up dinner (then called As You Do) with his then-business partner, Brian Williams. At the time, Harrison was working at Whole Foods. The pop-up thing was just a side gig.
