The aim, she explained, should be to allow for a discussion about scholarly communication and open access from two geographically different points of view.
It seemed like a good idea, so I asked Jaber if she could propose a candidate from the Arab world. She suggested Mahmoud Khalifa, who works as a librarian at the Library of Congress Cairo Office and is DOAJ Ambassador for the Middle East and Persian Gulf. He is also President of Cybrarians, which publishes an information science journal and runs two conferences.
To provide a voice from the developed world I invited Jeffrey MacKie-Mason to take part. MacKie-Mason is UC Berkeley's University Librarian and Chief Digital Scholarship Officer. The resultant Q&A with MacKie-Mason was published on April 8th (here), and a response to that Q&A from Khalifa on 19th (here). Today I am publishing a Q&A with Khalifa (below), which I will ask MacKie-Mason to comment on.
One topic I have been particularly keen to explore is the growing interest in Europe and the US in engineering a global "flip" of legacy subscription journals to a pay-to-publish open access model. I asked MacKie-Mason to take part partly because he is an enthusiastic advocate for journal flipping. In fact, he believes it to be the only practical way of achieving open access in the near term.
A global flip would imply a future in which the pay-to-publish model would come to dominate the scholarly publishing environment. Instead of readers (or their institutions) paying to access other researchers' papers, authors would have to pay to publish their own papers – by means of article-processing charges (APCs). Currently, APCs are around $3,000 a paper, although they can be both higher and lower than this.
Not conformant with the philosophy of OA?
Many in the global North remain sceptical about the global flip proposal – for reasons I have explored here. For those in the global South the prospect of all international subscription journals converting to pay-to-publish gold OA is particularly daunting, and would surely be discriminatory since researchers in developing countries could expect to see today's paywalls replaced by publication walls, threatening to further exclude them from the global scientific endeavour.
To support his argument, Khalifa points out that a $2,000 APC is equivalent to six months' salary for a professor in Egypt. In light of this, he suggests developing countries might be better to build up their local journals and focus on publishing in them.
The problem here, however, is that researchers in the developing world are increasingly being told by their governments and institutions that they must publish in international journals.
A further problem, says Khalifa, is that local journals are not generally indexed in international citation databases like Scopus and Web of Science. This means that they are not visible to the global research community.
So even if local journals managed to gain greater visibility, they could find they are deemed to be low-quality journals in the process.
But this would be a big task and would presumably require substantial funding. Currently, governments and research institutions in the South appear more focused on having their researchers publish in international journals than building up local solutions.
It is therefore hard not to conclude that a global flip of legacy subscription journals to open access would be bad news for the developing world. For more on the issues please read the Q&A with Khalifa below.
One further thought: Those who maintain that publishers of international journals do not (as frequently claimed) overcharge for their products might like to ponder on the fact that it costs Khalifa just $250 a year to publish his journal.
Q: Can you say something about yourself, your institution, and why and when you started to take an interest in open access?
MK: I work at the Library of Congress Cairo office. In 2002 I also established a non-profit organisation called cybrarians.org. This is focused on the library field in Egypt and other Arab countries.
I have been involved in open access since 2004 as a publisher of an e-journal in library and information science. We adopted open access as our primary publishing model.
In 2016, I was selected as DOAJ ambassador for the Middle East and Persian Gulf. As such, I am in charge of promoting a culture of open access in the region. I also review all the applications submitted to DOAJ from the area.
Q: How would you characterise the current state of open access in a) your institution; b) your country; c) your region?
MK: As noted, at Cybrarians our main publishing model is OA. So, our journal is open access and all the papers of the two conferences we hold are openly available. We also organise an annual event during International Open Access Week.
The situation in Egypt is roughly the same as it is in other Arab countries. Today OA initiatives are random and depend on the efforts of individuals. There is no central organised policy, and there are no institutional, national or regional OA policies in place.
Most publishers in the region have no understanding of the concept of OA, and so only a small number of publishers are involved in OA publishing.
Q: Last year it was announced that the Egyptian government has created what it calls the Egyptian Knowledge Bank (EKB). As I understand it, this provides free access to information for all Egyptian nationals. It seems much of the content is being provided by international scholarly publishers like Elsevier, Springer Nature, Thomson Reuters, Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, Emerald, and SAGE Publications, and it is in English. (I see John Wiley and Sons Inc. also recently signed a content deal with the Knowledge Bank).
Since these are subscription publishers presumably the Egyptian government is paying national licences to the publishers, but it is free at the point of use. Does this count as open access in your view? Is it problematic that much of the content is in English?
MK: Absolutely, this is not open access! Open access is mainly a way of promoting the publishing of information resources. The resources included in EKB are commercial, and the government pays the publishers to provide it. When money is paid to access information, it is not open access. True, the end user does not pay, but it does not a matter who paid.
As you may know, there are dedicated access point for public users of EKB. But providing it in English for the public is a big problem since around 40% of Egyptians are illiterate. Even for educated people, English is not their second, or even third, language.
Providing resources in English is fine for scholars in science and technology, who may already be studying English in an Egyptian university, but it is a problem for those in the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, where English is not widely used. On the other hand, Arabic databases are few and far between, and often in English.
Q: Can you say a little more about what you understand by the term open access, and how it should be implemented?
MK: OA simply means making information resources freely accessible, and without any usage restrictions. Before it can be implemented, however, there needs to be an awareness within all areas of the research community, including institutions, publishers, editor, and authors.
In some developing countries, authors often prefer not to publish in OA journals. Research conducted in Oman, for instance, found that 75% of scholars do not trust OA journals, and 78% of scholars have no knowledge about OA initiatives.
Q: How is your journal funded?
MK: It is funded with the money we make from having it indexed in Arabic databases like Al Mandhouma, AL Manhal, and E-Maarifa, along with international services provided by companies like EBSCO and Gale/Cengage. This is the only source of revenue we have as we do not charge authors a publishing fee.
Q: Can you clarify: you fund your journal from the money you receive from a number of databases that index its contents? That is, these indexing services pay you for hosting (and presumably reselling) the content?
MK: The journal is indexed in a number of databases, and the full text is accessible via them. These are commercial databases, and so they pay us a royalty on a quarterly, or semi-annual basis.
Q: Can you give me a sense of how much it costs to run and manage the journal? Does the funding source you use cover all the costs?
MK: The journal costs are small. We are a non-profit and rent a host server for all our websites including the journal. The editor-in-chief does not receive a salary. So, we pay about $250 a year for hosting, which is really the only cost.
All the other tasks are undertaken by volunteers. So, the money we receive from the databases adequately covers the costs.
MK: The main obstacle facing OA in Arab countries right now is the absence of a culture and knowledge about open access. It is easy to convince a publisher to spend some money to advertise his products, but it is very hard to convince that same publisher to provide free access to his publication.
In addition, knowledge about the main issues related to OA – licensing, copyright and so on – is low or absent. In short, we suffer from OA illiteracy.
Q: I think you are a librarian by training. But I wonder if perhaps your perspective is more that of a publisher in relation to open access. What do you think would be the perspective on open access of, say, a science researcher working in a lab in a university in the Middle East?
MK: Well, I obtained a BA in library and information science from Cairo University, and then obtained a master's degree in 2006. In addition, I have worked as a librarian since 2002. But your question is not entirely clear to me.
Q: I ask the question because it seems to me that as a librarian and OA advocate your views on open access are likely to be somewhat different to the views of researchers in the region. As you note, many do not trust OA journals.
Moreover, while your journal does not levy APCs, I am wondering how many researchers in the Middle East will have access to the necessary funds to pay APCs for those journals that do charge, particularly if they have a need to publish in hybrid OA international journals, which generally costs around $3,000 per paper. I am wondering if they would be prepared to spend that much money to publish their work, assuming they could even afford to?
So, I guess I am thinking that if OA is to succeed more is needed than advocacy alone. There are important funding issues to consider, and these will be particularly challenging for those in the global South, won't they?
MK: From my point of view, APCs are not conformant with the philosophy of OA. One of the aims of open access is to provide access to information free of charge, and that is much needed in developing countries. If APCs start to be widely applied it will create new hurdles for researchers in the global South looking to contribute to science.
In short, researchers in the Middle East, especially in non-Gulf countries, face a big dilemma when they try to publish a paper in an international journal. For example, in Egypt one USD is equivalent to 17.6 LE [Egyptian pounds], so if I need to publish a paper internationally, and the APCs are $2,000, I have to pay 35,000 LE! This is roughly equivalent to the salary of professor for 6 months!
On the other hand, publishing in local journals is not as expensive as publishing in international journals. It costs around 1000-2000 LE. But even so, that is considered expensive when you consider the level of salaries in Egypt.
Q: What do you think the priorities ought to be in order to move OA forward in your country/region?
MK: The first step should be to spread awareness of open access, and why it is important for the scientific community. This awareness should be directed at publishers, editors, librarians, and faculty members in the academic community.
By doing so we can encourage new OA activists to emerge, who will go on to lead the OA movement in their respective communities. After a while, the scientific community will develop a greater interest and belief in OA.
Q: From what you say I am thinking that open access solutions for the Global South will need to be different to those implemented in the Global North. But should we not aim for a global solution? Is it practical or possible to have different geographical approaches to open access?
MK: In my opinion, the practice of OA is the same everywhere in the world. The South will be able to implement and practice open access when the local community believes in it. If modern publishing solutions are offered without a firm commitment to OA it will come to nothing.
Based on what I have heard from my fellow OA ambassadors in different parts of the world I have come to believe that OA will have different geographical approaches, and the concept of OA and how it is promoted will likely differ from region to region.
So, for example, in Arab countries, we need to concentrate on understanding open access and its culture. In a country like India, by contrast, there is already a strong open access culture and practice. So in India, they should perhaps concentrate on promoting best practices for OA and the ethical issues associated with publishing in an OA environment. Each area has its own needs.
Q: I am wondering what you make of Elsevier's response to European demands for a global flip of subscription journals to OA. It has proposed what it calls region-based OA, in which Europe would pay publication fees to publish its articles but only those in Europe would get gold open access to them. Those outside Europe would only get green open access. That would seem to suggest that those in the developing world could end up getting an inferior form of OA – unless they were able to/willing to pay publication fees themselves. What are your views on this?
MK: This is totally unfair! One of the main goals of OA is to serve developing and poor communities by providing free access to information. The principle of OA that was agreed did not assume that different levels of access would be provided to different geographical regions. If we consider the economic conditions of those in the South, and their pressing need for development, it is clear that they need more support.
Q: Whatever the consequences, there is today in Europe and North America a growing call for subscription journals to be "flipped" to open access. If all or most international journals became OA, and started charging authors to publish their research, what impact would that have on those in the Middle East? Today it costs anything from several hundred to over $5,000 to publish a single article open access. Would flipping all journals to OA improve the situation for the research community in the Arab World?
MK: As noted, we still do not have any national OA policies. We first need leading organisations to set those policies for the scientific publishing in general. For sure, flipping journals to OA would have a great impact on the scientific community overall. It would need a lot of work in the South as most local journals are still published in printed format!
Q: Yes, I can see the challenge for local journals, especially those that are still only available in print. But looking at it from the perspective of the researcher again: as in most parts of the world now, Egyptian researchers are encouraged to publish in international journals (and I believe local universities give them bonuses based on the IF of the journal). So, I am still curious as to how these researchers would fund their publishing activities if all international journals flipped to OA and charged APCs. How would those based in the global South be able to afford to publish their research in international journals?
MK: Indeed, as I mentioned, in Egypt a professor would need to sacrifice six months' salary in order to be able to pay an APC of $2,000 to publish a paper in an international journal. And while university bonuses are payable for publishing in international journals, they are very small and would not cover the costs. These bonuses are usually around 5000 LE [$282].
As I see it, we in the developing world need to adopt two approaches. First, we need to develop our own journals so that they can qualify for inclusion in international citation databases. Once we have earned a good impact factor (or equivalent metric) for our journals we will no longer need to publish in international journals.
However, the problem is that unless a lot of other local journals are indexed by the citation database they will find it difficult to get a good score. For that reason, I do not encourage local journals to apply for an IF.
Q: Can you say more about this?
MK: The issue is that when the calculation is made most of the resources that cite journals from the global South will not be recognised by, say, Scopus. As a result, the total number of citations a journal will be seen to have received will be very low, and so it will not get a good IF.
So, for instance, if an Arabic journal was considered by ISI, it would fail to get a good score because the resources that cite the journal will not be recognised by ISI.
The second approach I think we should take, and one that I am more in favour of (even though it would be very hard to establish and build up), is for us to create our own national or regional tools and databases. This would enable us to evaluate our own journals and develop our own IF reports and other metrics.
This is a huge project and I hope one day I might be able to obtain the funds for a national project like that.
Q: There are those who argue that open access has opened the doors to a flood of predatory journals. There seem to be two views about this. The first says that they are a big threat to the research community and could seriously corrupt the scholarly record. The second says that the whole problem has been overblown by opponents of open access and, in most cases, so-called predatory publishers are simply new and naïve operations (often based in the global South) that are honourable and well-intentioned but who need to be trained in the "best practices and standards in publishing" that have been developed over the years in the North. Do you subscribe to either of these views, or do you disagree with both? What do you think about predatory publishing and its likely impact?
MK: I agree partially with the first view, and totally with the second.
However, let me say a little more about this issue: Why do people make a direct connection between OA and the appearance of predatory journals? In some communities predatory publishing existed long before OA. I see predatory publishing as a consequence of non-scientific and non-ethical practices, not OA.
In the Arab community, for instance, most printed journals do not perform peer-review, they will accept papers from any researcher, and they are subject to plagiarism. Essentially, they have no publishing standards. What should we call these journals? It's extremely predatory behaviour.
One of my missions as DOAJ ambassador for the Middle East is to assist editors to implement the best practices in e-publishing in the OA environment, I think this is a good first step on the way to eradicating predatory journals.
Regarding the obstacles that face the Arab region in particular, I do agree with Mahmoud about the financial obstacles, however, I think there is another important obstacle that is lack of knowledge about Open Access in general. May be there are different reasons for that, such as lack of local resources in Arabic language. I think it's really important to increase the awareness among the Arab researchers about the Open Access movement in general, and the different types of OA by performing more training sessions to them and localizing many OA resources into Arabic.
As the dilemma of the predatory/misleading OA journal/conference publishers is increasing, the training aspect is becoming more vital and important. For example, we have launched, the Think. Check. Attend. initiative as a global initiative to guide the researchers on how to choose the right conference to attend and present their research, which has been considered as a sister initiative to Think. Check. Submit.
Investing in the learning and the educational aspect is so important as the financial aspect that will lead to increasing and enhancing the awareness of Open Access in general among the Arab researchers.

Taika Waititi Boards Fox's Flash Gordon Animated Movie!
Flash GordonMovie News Taika Waititi
Although his Netflix stop-motion movie Bubbles about Michael Jackson's chimp recently imploded with the controversy over the singer, Taika Waititi is not through with animation. According to Deadline, the Thor: Ragnarok filmmaker has signed onto 20th Century Fox's animated version of comic strip hero Flash Gordon, with no deal in place to write or direct but simply to "crack" the property for now. His official role in the production will become clearer as development continues. The 1980 Flash Gordon movie was said to be a direct influence on Thor: Ragnarok, which aped that film's colorful and campy tone.
This is only the latest big genre project for the New Zealand helmer, who is also signed on to direct Warner Bros.' live-action Akira movie and to write/direct a Time Bandits TV pilot for Apple TV+, as well as the episode of Star Wars series The Mandalorian he completed for Disney Plus. Waititi also has the WWII dramedy Jojo Rabbit (in which he also plays the role of Adolf Hitler) finished for release by Fox Searchlight on October 18, 2019.
RELATED: Akira Release Date Confirmed for May 2021, Taika Waititi to Direct
Overlord director Julius Avery was previously announced in October of last year to write and direct Flash Gordon, and years ago Matthew Vaughn was also poised to direct the remake, but ultimately vacated the director's chair for a producer credit alongside John Davis and Hearst.
This will not be the first time the character has lived in the animation realm, with the Saturday morning cartoon series The New Adventures of Flash Gordon airing for two seasons beginning in 1979. There was also the King Features crossover series Defenders of the Earth (featuring Flash Gordon, The Phantom and Mandrake the Magician) that ran for one season from 1986-87, as well as the 1996 cartoon series Flash Gordon which cast Flash as a hoverboard-riding teenager for only 26 episodes.
Created by Alex Raymond in 1934, Flash Gordon began life as a serialized comic strip, following the intergalactic adventures of the titular hero, his fellow adventurer and love interest, Dale Arden, and brilliant scientist Dr. Hans Zarkov. Together, the trio explore fantastic interplanetary locales like Mongo, home of the devilish Ming the Merciless. The comic was a tremendous influence on George Lucas, whose thwarted attempt to make his own Flash Gordon adaptation resulted in him creating Star Wars instead.
Tremendously popular in the late 1930s as a trio of big screen serials starring Buster Crabbe, Flash Gordon has since been adapted for both the big and small screen in a variety of different forms. Director Mike Hodges' feature film (which boasted a soundtrack by Queen) failed to impress at the box office in 1980, but the movie has since emerged as a genuine cult classic. That film's star, Sam J. Jones, played homage to the character in Seth MacFarlane's 2012 comedy Ted and its sequel Ted 2.

OTTAWA, JERUSALEM, KOBANI & TEHRAN - CONNECT THE DOTS
Islamist terror struck within minutes in two separate world capitals, Ottawa and Jerusalem. It was a stark sign of the times that pits the militant Islam from over 1,400 years ago against everyone else: Christians, Jews, and other Muslims. Lone terrorists struck in Ottawa and Jerusalem, and Jihadist forces continue to threaten and massacre the remaining Muslim Kurds in the Syrian town of Kobani, while in Tehran it appears as if the ayatollahs have conned the U.S. into letting them keep their nuclear facilities for building A Bombs.
'It could never happen here, Canadians are different'.
October 22nd: It started as another quiet morning in Ottawa, one of the most peaceable capitals of the world. Suddenly, a gunman shoots dead a Canadian soldier standing on duty at the impressive Cenotaph memorial for Canada's fallen. The killer then races to the entrance of the nearby Parliament building and rushes, unimpeded, through the entrance and into the building where Prime Minister Stephen Harper is at the time. Pandemonium ensues. Several thousand Canadian politicians and government employees are located on Capitol Hill this busy morning with hundreds of tourists milling around.
There is fear of a multiple terror attack in process - just two days earlier another Muslim convert murdered a first Canadian soldier by running over him. This should have sent alarm bells ringing in Canada's Security apparatus, but it didn't. Although Canadian soldiers were sent to fight the Taliban in Afghanistan and Harper is a strong supporter of Israel, Canada was still thought to be immune from the Islamist terror that has rocked its mighty neighbor to the south.
It was a rude awakening, and Canada obviously will never be the same after the heart of Canada's proud democracy has been shocked to its very core.
But when it did, it was just as bad as the crackpot who managed to climb over the fence and walk unchecked into the White House and wander around before being apprehended. It was a rude awakening, and Canada obviously will never be the same after the heart of Canada's proud democracy has been shocked to its very core.
Then while the world was watching in wonder, live on TV, Canadian security guards inside the Parliament building went into action. Harper had to be spirited immediately away from the building by car; the lone gunman was tracked down and shot dead. Canada is still reeling from the shock as it awakens to its own threat of Muslim terrorism and what must be done about it, while preserving civil rights for all. It was disclosed that some ninety Canadian Muslims were being monitored by Canada's secret service, including the killer. An overwhelming number of Canadian Muslims are as law abiding as everyone else, but some Muslim Canadians are believed to have joined the Islamic State forces in Syria and Iran. Again, this should have been a tip-off but apparently a deadly attack on Canada's parliament was required to shock Canada out of its slumber. An Israeli friend visited Canada recently and came back raving:
"It's a wonderful country, I've never seen anything like it, everybody seemed so pleasant and easy going, I thought they must all be on Prozac!"
And then suddenly, as the Canadian guards raced down the corridor with gunshots reverberating in an obvious shootout, Israeli TV stations cut over to Jerusalem where a Hamas terrorist had just driven a car at high speed into a light rail station in the eastern part of Israel's capitol. He plowed into a group of commuters, killing a three-month-old baby girl and wounding a dozen others. An off duty police officer drew his revolver and shot the attacker who later died of his wounds. It was the latest and most deadly attack in the more than 200 acts of mounting Palestinian violence on the eastern side of town recently.
Netanyahu condemned the Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, for egging on the teenagers who have been throwing the rocks and Molotov cocktails.
Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu vowed to put a stop to it, and hundreds of policemen have been dispatched to Jerusalem from other parts of Israel. Netanyahu condemned the Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, for egging on the teenagers who have been throwing the rocks and Molotov cocktails. Get this: Abbas declared that the very presence of Jewish worshippers on the Temple Mount, the original site of the Israelites First and Second Temples, was defiling the sanctity of the al Aksa mosque that was built there centuries later!
Cry in the wilderness…
But after the tragic killing of the Israeli baby, Justice Minister Tzipi Livni also pointed the finger at Israel's own actions. Writing in Facebook, Livni did not spare her cabinet colleagues:
"We are a step away from a national conflict turning into a religious one - Jerusalem is on fire. My heart goes out to the family of little Chaya Zissil, but my head is thinking what is the right thing for Israel to do to douse the flames and prevent a further escalation? There is no question the law must be enforced against Palestinian terrorists and rock throwers. Although it is right to condemn the Palestinian President's incitement, we must also halt our own populist declarations, irresponsible legislative bills, and construction as provocations, as is celebrating in the middle of the night when Jews buy and take over a home in a Muslim neighborhood."
Yaalon was clearly concerned that the Obama administration is due to cave in to Tehran's nuclear demands before the November 24th deadline expires.
While all this was happening, Israel's Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon was paying a visit to Washington to meet with his American counter-part Chuck Hagel. Despite the verbal salvoes exchanged with Secretary of State John Kerry, Yaalon has a very warm working relationship with Hagel. But interviewed on several TV networks, Yaalon was clearly concerned that the Obama administration is due to cave in to Tehran's nuclear demands before the November 24th deadline expires.
In his view, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has good reason to keep on smiling these days. In effect, the Iranians are on the way to conning the Obama administration into easing the economic sanctions in its rush to seek a deal with Iran. The key issue in the negotiations with the 5P+1 has been Iran's insistence on preserving its thousands of centrifuges that it needs to produce enriched uranium for nuclear weapons.
Interviewed on PBS, Israel's Defense Minister left no doubt - the U.S. has jettisoned a military option, Iran's terror operations abroad were not being discussed, or their missiles designed to carry a nuclear warhead. In fact, as things now stand, Iran is only two months away from processing enough enriched uranium for producing its first nuclear weapons, and only one year away from developing its first A- bomb, if they decide to do so. They already have a delivery system waiting for it. Nevertheless, what if the 5P+1 does acquiesce in Iran's keeping its nuclear capability to build A- bombs in the future? Ya'alon replied:
"We will have to discuss the results of the negotiations - we have not taken all the options off the table."
In this context, Yaalon was also quoted as saying:
"We are searching for opportunities to disrupt Iran's nuclear weapons program."
Israel's Defense Minister could have, but didn't, refer to the massive explosion that recently leveled much of Iran's military test site at Parchin, where Israel claims tests have been conducted for detonating a nuclear weapon. It was reasonable to expect that after the massive blast, the 5P+1 and the IAEA would have been clamoring to find out just what happened there. However, it's all quiet on that front, not a peep from world leaders or the international media. It's as if it's a foregone conclusion that Obama has opted for a deal with Iran in return for its collaboration on confronting Islamic State. It looks as if the U.S. President is bent on passing the nuclear buck to his successor in 2016.
If Israel were being viewed as again helping the Kurds in their hour of need, it would be accused of sabotaging Obama's coalition that is seeking the likes of Turkey and Iran.
Lest we forget Kobani, where the brave Kurds are still holding out against IS, amid the realpolitik being played by the world and regional powers. The consequences of Kobani's saga are apparent to the Jewish state, which, like Kurdistan, is being buffeted from different directions in a very hostile environment. Prime Minister Netanyahu has expressed support for the Kurdish struggle knowing full well his hands are tied. If Israel were being viewed as again helping the Kurds in their hour of need, it would be accused of sabotaging Obama's coalition that is seeking the likes of Turkey and Iran.

The title of this fantastic and intoxicating album is a dead giveaway. La Clave del Gumbo bestraddles the two not-so-disparate worlds of Cuba and New Orleans. In the album plots a sort of pentangular map of the rhythmic topography that was laid out at the bottom of North America and the northern tip of South America. Here the Caribbean met New Orleans; Congo begat Congo Square and Guantanamo and Camagüey, met Kingston, Jamaica, and met the Dominican and Puerto Rico. Clave reigned supreme and laid the indelible imprint upon the region. It made the subverted all other rhythms and created a music so compelling in its ideas, evanescent, weightless trills, suspended and overlapping harmonies and became the sheer dynamic power of the continent as to speak forcefully and eloquently for itself. Call it the rhythm of the second line, the mambo and rumba, and the guaguancó of the descarga, the dropped syllable of reggae and calypso, the bomba, the plena, the spirit of the African diaspora in the Americas. Or call it like it is: La Clave del Gumbo.
Jamie Dubberly and Orquesta Dharma have got it right from the very first mystic chord of the disc, after the batá drums and the Braulio Barrera chant to placate the excited Orishas or Vocatives… the countries of the ancestors of the slaves of Dahomey and the Congo. And there are few things more exhilarating than when the drummers, pianists and brass and woodwinds get the groove going than mambo+bomba+plena+gumbo con alma, con una ebbrezza fantastica all of which = the rhythmic gymnastics; that of this record. There is no molly-coddling musicians here; just red-hot unbridled energy; sunbursting quantum packets of energy in the inexorable growling of tuba and in the earth-shattering braying of the trombone and the roistering of all of the other instruments of this fantastic orchestra. It is called, I believe, "nailing it", which is to say getting it from the first notes of the explosive first chord.
Why name any particular song when the entire album is an explosion of rhythm adorning inebriated melody and harmony? This is a disc that, end to end, a molten mix of the hottest volcanic music with the coolest near chaotic joy. Jamie Dubberly has also managed to seduce some of the biggest names in the business to join him in paying homage to his muse: African-Caribbean and African-American music results in a new kind of ode to joy. The malleability of rhythm and fiery spontaneity coalesce in a thoroughly personal style of playing. This results in music that captures all of the luminescence, impulsive power, fluidity and shimmering mystique of the saints of the music, who have in turn, inspired Orquesta Dharma. This is, quite simply, one of the most irresistible tributes to the music that begat it all.

Stonnall Juniors Football Club is a Charter Standard grassroots football club based in the village of Stonnall, South Staffordshire. We were founded in 2014 and have football teams in the Under 15 (Year 10) and Under 13 (Year 8) age groups.
This entry was posted in SJ13 Team News and tagged football, grassroots, Stonnall Juniors, Walsall Junior Youth Football League, Walsall League on March 26, 2018 by finbofinbo.
A closely fought cup match saw Stonnall narrowly beaten by Wyrley.
The match, which was excellently refereed throughout, started with both teams enjoying attacking possession whilst defending solidly. This was exemplified after 12 mins when a looping shot from a Wyrley forward was acrobatically hooked off the line by Sedgy.
The opposition were now enjoying quality pressure whilst Stonnall Phoenix were playing mainly on the break. One of these breaks had Squiggy make a left wing run and put in a quality ball across the area which Mac was inches away from getting an outstretched boot on. Benno then came on and immediately caused problems for the Wyrley defence with his characteristically bustling runs.
The Phoenix defence of Sedgy, Zac and Harry was well disciplined and with Pembo's good handling and particularly a spectacular save, the opposition found it difficult to add to their advantage whilst on top.
In the second half, Stonnall had greater possession and Mac, who had dropped back to a forward midfield role, was holding and linking up play very well. Following a few half chances for Stonnall, Wyrley gained possession in midfield and their forward ran through and shot from distance. The ball unluckily crept over the line to make the score 2:0.
The Phoenix lads' heads never went down and they continued to play attractive flowing football which was finally rewarded with two minutes left when a ball into the opposition box was flicked on by Squiggy and Mac shot past the goalkeeper for a well deserved goal to make the final score 2:1 to Wyrley Juniors Panthers.
There are many positives to take from this game as the lads competed equally for much of the match with a team from Div 1 and we look forward to the next match in the Spring Cup.
MOTM was awarded to Charlie by Wyrley Panthers manager.
The result doesn't show the true picture of the game, with respect to Wyrley Panthers we were very unlucky to come out of this game with anything less than a draw.
Apart from the last 10 minutes of the first half it wasn't evident of the difference in leagues. The second half saw us very evenly matched creating a number of good chances and equally defended well.
More great positives from a narrow defeat – in training this week we did a thorough heading exercise – in today's game we competed in the air and won a majority of the balls with a name on it!! Several weeks ago we wouldn't have done this.
We also played with several players out of position or tried another position. Well done to those lads, by doing this you will gain the vision/challenges of those who play there regularly.
Tempo was up today from previous games, continuation of what we are doing will pay dividends, regardless of the score these cup games are also being used by myself and Wayne as measurement of where we are and what's needed for next season. Much more of the same will be fine!
For some parts of the game we were in full control, we created some good chances and defended well when we had to. What we did in training with the headers we did in the game with screaming our name like we'd been asked to do.
The result wasn't fair because we played as good as Wyrley all game.
Head up Pembo you hardly make a mistake, today you made some great saves again.
Well done Harry, Squiggy and Mac for playing in other positions.
Tuesday training was replaced with some sprint mechanics work at the Alexander Stadium and Friday night was our pizza/match footage night. Good luck also to Aidan this weekend for his WBA trial.

Well done to Joseph who scored his first hat trick today for the Stonnall Juniors U10s team. One of the goals started with Bryn winning possession for us deep on the right. Bryn then played through Louis who put Joseph through to score. Good team play, gentlemen! One goal was also a great individual effort, scoring from wide on the right with a well hit shot into the bottom left corner.

MOTM – this was a difficult award to give to anyone, after much thought of the game I have decided to give it to the the three lads who did exactly what they worked on in training, our defenders on the day Ethan, Tom and Zak. Well done lads due to your hard work, communication and positional awareness James had one save to make.
This was a good game of football played well by both teams. With respect to Cresswell I think we deserved the result with a late goal from Charlie.
We battled hard and created great chances, Squiggy and DJ made endless recovery runs and doubled up with their wing backs.
Well done lads on another great result.

MOTM awarded to DJ – well done DJ great work when you came and a great finish to get on the score sheet.
Firstly I would like to give credit to the referee who was absolutely tremendous. He managed the game superbly (and some parents) he spoke to the players throughout the game – even speaking to them by name, this was a true spectacle of what's required from a referee. Maybe the wjyl need to use this ref as mentor for others!
This was a game of events. Each of which are part of learning.
From going a goal down we showed great character and got the equaliser from Sedgy, from then on we dominated the game and went 2-1 up with another wonder strike from Charlie. With credit to Brownhills they didn't give up against the run of play and equalised 2-2.
Again we ventured in front with neat cross from Benno for little DJ to come flying in with a cracking volley 3-2.
Again we dominated and came close on a number of chances, with a few minutes to go Brownhills won a free kick just outside of our box – great free kick fell under the bar 3-3.
This was a great game of football and with respect to the young Brownhills lads they battled well and all shook hands in the middle afterwards. One vocal parent thought it fair to shout that Stonnall had dropped two point's – RESPECT and CODE OF CONDUCT comes to mind!! Few things to discuss at training on Saturday lads but well done to you all.
Stonnall parents please note; Although Gaynor kindly carries out the paperwork duties for each and every game she does not pick the team, or have any say in it whatsoever, nor do any parents. If anyone has any issues with the selection made or the pitch time of any individuals please speak to me not question Gaynor.
FOR FUTURE GAMES CAN ALL SUBSTITUTES PLEASE STAND BEHIND THE RESPECT BARRIER WITH CLUB JACKET ON AND VIEW THE GAME, NOT SPEND TIME OUT OF SITE KICKING FOOTBALLS AROUND. Over the last several weeks we have lost or had stolen from games 5 footballs. Lads please put your footballs in your bags for safe keeping.
Thanks for continued support its greatly appreciated.

The *real* Santa (not Mark).
In terms of our football, we continued to work on our theme of Support and Movement before spending time working at two extremes of the practice spectrum – first on technical unopposed drills making much use of both feet – after which we did an entire session of "just matches" (in reality, Whole-Part-Whole). There was only one weekend of league fixtures, where we had two lacklustre draws which gave us the opportunity to review our effort-based team motto. We also played our first 9-a-side friendly in readiness for next year – a great game with Four Oaks which was settled by just one goal to the visitors in an hour-long match. The 9-a-side format helped us appreciate new aspects of the game and we'll aim to play more 9v9 pretty soon (January 9th – watch this space!).
2. Improve game understanding & ability to play multiple positions.
That is the number of games we lost last season. The players – and parents – who have persevered have benefitted from adopting a longer-term perspective. "The winner is the loser who evaluates defeat properly"*. By reflecting on what we can improve, the players – who are, let's not forget, children – are developing their psychological resilience. We have a group of nine and ten-year-olds who are learning to discuss amongst themselves their individual mistakes – while retaining some emotional control. In terms of growth mindsets, our team environment reflects work such as that of Carol Dweck and fits in with the Building Learning Habits work which some of the players are doing at school. In terms of our team ethos, this article captures the essence of it far more eloquently than I ever could.
There is one statistic which I will be looking now. It is the average number of passes after a goalkick. My rationale for this is that it encapsulates what we should be looking for in terms of individual and team ability (again, Doug Lemov's article covers this well) in one easy-to-measure indicator. That figure, if anything, is the be-all-and-end-all. Not the final result.

Q: Read cells from Excel in C++? I was wondering how you can read specific cells from an Excel spreadsheet, in C++. I understand we have to use the "fstream" library, but I don't know exactly how I could get those values from a certain cell, and print it on the screen. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Carpetfizz

A: in linux you have this free:
http://libxls.sourceforge.net/
in windows you have http://www.libxl.com/ which seems to cost money:
Book* book = xlCreateBook();
if(book)
{
    if(book->load(L"example.xls"))
    {
        Sheet* sheet = book->getSheet(0);
        if(sheet)
        {
            const wchar_t* s = sheet->readStr(2, 1);
            if(s) wcout << s << endl;

            double d = sheet->readNum(3, 1);
            cout << d << endl;
        }
    }

I think the best thing to do is to save the files as .csv which is more friendly to work with.

*What is a simple and reliable C library for working with Excel files?

A: Excel versions before Excel 2007 use a proprietary binary format, but Excel 2007 and later versions use XML (writes Wikipedia).
There's also a C++ library for dealing with Excel files.

A: For writing, use:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/simplexlsx/
For reading, I use:
sourceforge.net/projects/xlsxio/?source=directory
Also, for xlsxio, I wrote an OO wrapper, to make it more friendly for c++ integration. It only supports reading, but you should probable use simplexlsx for writing anyways!

The Zac Brown Band "The Foundation" Atlantic
By CMP on November 22, 2008 in Album Reviews
by Derek Payseur
The Zac Brown Band's third album, The Foundation, is an eclectic mix of songs that range from island-style country and slow-paced ballads to feel-good radio-friendly hits and finger picking southern-fried bluegrass. When listening to the album, it is obvious that Zac Brown and his band (Coy Bowles, Jimmy DeMartini, John Hopkins, and Chris Fryar) are a talented group of musicians that can play a wide variety of songs with a catchy twist of southern sensibility. And in addition to their aptly-tuned musical talents, Brown's voice is great, and he's not afraid of belting out a range of chords for an extending period of time, such as he does in "Highway 20 Ride." Furthermore, it seems that their talents are highlighted the most on the bluegrass-influenced songs, "Mary," "It's Not Ok," and "Sic 'Em on a Chicken." The picking is fast on all three, and the latter two songs are fun and sound as if the band is having a good time with the material. The closing track, "Sic 'Em on a Chicken," is the best thing on the album. It's silly, fun, and the band is not afraid of showing off their skillful instrumental precision for nearly four minutes. Other highlights include the radio-friendly ballads "Free," and the previously mentioned, "Highway 20 Ride," which offer serious alternatives to the lighter songs; thus providing the album with the overall stylistic-variations it attempts to achieve. Their first single, "Chicken Fried" (a celebratory reminiscence of Brown's southern upbringing), has all of the catchiness of a pop-country song without the corny and cliché mass-produced shtick of the TRL-meets-CMT hits: "Well I was raised underneath / The shade of a Georgia pine / And that's home, you know / Sweet tea, pecan pie, and homemade wine / Where the peaches grow."
And while there are those aforementioned gems on this album that were just mentioned, there are also the southern influenced island songs that feel tiresome and hokey. It's almost as if Brown and the band took the cheesiness of Jimmy Buffet and Kenny Chesney and spliced it together with the frat-boy favorites of Bob Marley and Jack Johnson. For example, "Toes" is the opening track for the album, and it's about the southern boy who meets the idyllic Hawaiian lifestyle: "I got my toes in the water / Ass in the sand / Not a worry in the world / A cold beer in my hand / Life is good today (repeat twice)." Then, there are the Jack Johnson sounding songs, "Where the Boat Leaves From" and "The Different Kind of Fine." The former of the two even has a hint of that signature Jack Johnson skew-be-de-boo white-boy rap delivery, which will leave the listener wondering if this is even the same band as praised in the previous paragraph.
Overall, The Foundation is a good album with the exception of the Chesnian-Johnson infusions. If there's anything that these songs do, then it's to display the musical range that the Zac Brown Band offers. While that may open them up to a wider audience, it's the other songs when the band seems to be having the most fun showing off their musical talents. And, it's these particular songs that feel genuine and ultimately make the album worth the attention it deserves.

Elizabeth Warren's Fake Beef With Bernie Sanders Is a Sign the Primaries Are Heating Up
In this op-ed, Lucy Diavolo breaks down what the recent contentiousness between Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders means for the 2020 Democratic primaries moving forward.
By Lucy Diavolo
BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AFP/Getty Images
Presidential contenders Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have had a bit of a dustup. The two Democratic presidential candidates representing the party's left wing in the 2020 race found themselves at odds this weekend after Warren responded to a call script for volunteers that was reportedly issued by the Sanders campaign. The entire episode is a lesson in the growing friction in the Democratic presidential primary — and a telling example of just how ridiculous and bitter things may get.
It all started with a report by Politico, which included written guidelines for Sanders volunteers calling potential voters who might support other candidates. In the script, Sanders volunteers are reportedly advised to characterize Warren supporters as highly educated and affluent.
"I like Elizabeth Warren. [optional]," the script begins, according to Politico. "In fact, she's my second choice. But here's my concern about her." The script then questions Warren's ability to get elected based on her base's demographics, reading, "People who support her are highly educated, more affluent people who are going to show up and vote Democratic no matter what" and "She's bringing no new bases into the Democratic Party."
"We need to turn out disaffected working-class voters if we're going to beat Trump," the script's section on Warren concludes. In a section apparently about "status quo candidates," the document also mentions the lack of enthusiasm around former vice president Joe Biden's campaign and the low support among young and African-American voters for Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana.
According to Politico, the Sanders campaign did not deny the script's authenticity. Politico reporter Alex Thompson took to Twitter to deny claims from Sanders supporters that the script was uploaded by a volunteer and not an official campaign document, writing that the document had "Paid for by Bernie 2020" written on it.

Warren responded to the script on Sunday, telling reporters, "I was disappointed to hear that Bernie is sending his volunteers out to trash me. Bernie knows me and has known me for a long time. He knows who I am, where I come from, what I have worked on and fought for, and the coalition and grassroots movements we're trying to build."
"Democrats want to win in 2020," Warren continued. "We all saw the impact of the factionalism in 2016, and we can't have a repeat of that. Democrats need to unite our party, and that means pulling in all parts of the Democratic coalition."
President Donald Trump, who BuzzFeed News reported last week was starting to "fixate" on Sanders as a potential 2020 rival, apparently caught news of the entire exchange, echoing Warren when he wrote on Twitter on Monday morning that Sanders's volunteers were "trashing" Warren, questioning whether or not a "feud" was brewing. If this presidential voyeurism doesn't capture just how absurd this entire situation is, I'm not sure what might.
Warren's campaign manager, Roger Lau, also mentioned disappointment and 2016's "factionalism" in a fundraising email sent over the weekend with the subject line "What Bernie's campaign says about you." The email accused those raising concerns about the demographics of Warren's base of "dismissing the potency of our grassroots movement" and pitched Warren as a unity candidate. Julián Castro, a 2020 candidate who just dropped out and endorsed Warren, also used similar framing to describe her campaign over the weekend, according to the New York Times.

What's curious about the "unity candidate" argument regarding questions about the wealthier supporters in Warren's movement is how it squares with Warren's attacks on Buttigieg just last month. On the December debate stage, Warren laid into Buttigieg over fundraising from "billionaires in wine caves," who hosted a fundraiser for the former mayor.
Speaking to reporters on Sunday, Sanders didn't take responsibility for the script, called the situation a "media blowup," and maintained that Warren is a "very good friend." He said the candidates will continue to "debate the issues."
"We have hundreds of employees. Elizabeth Warren has hundreds of employees," Sanders said when questioned about the script's origins. "And people sometimes say things that they shouldn't. You have heard me give many speeches. Have I ever said one negative word about Elizabeth Warren?"
The script itself had nothing bad to say about Warren or the highly educated, affluent people who are likely to support her, a trend that has been documented across polls throughout the campaign. As Politico explained last July, Warren and Sanders's bases of support are somewhat distinct despite their relative political proximity; more highly educated voters were more likely to support Warren while lower-income voters with less education more often supported Sanders. In September the Washington Post attributed that to Warren's "wonkish" — i.e., policy-focused — campaign style.
As FiveThirtyEight broke down in October, Warren is doing particularly well with white, college-educated voters and starting to expand her base by making inroads with nonwhite voters without a college degree and more moderate voters. But a poll later that month still found her supporters were likely to be white, wealthy, and college-educated.
This raises several questions about this episode. Is it "factionalism" to express concerns about another candidate's potential to win in November? Is it okay to discuss another candidate's base at all, even with empirical data behind it? Given the accuracy and mild tone of the script's comments about Warren — and the fact that presidential candidates have always had to find ways to differentiate themselves from their competitors — might the Massachusetts senator be better served by taking this beef off the grill? Is this beef at all or really more of a Beyond Burger?
Whether or not you believe the Sanders campaign was attacking Warren or that this situation is full of sound and fury, signifying nothing, the timing of the dustup is notable. The entire situation comes as candidates are in the fevered final weeks of the run-up to the February 3 Iowa caucuses, the first contest in the Democratic primary process for 2020. Sanders and Warren placed first and second, respectively, in a major poll released Friday.
While polling isn't the be-all, end-all indicator of political reality (a lesson many learned the hard way in 2016), the fact that the duo is at the front of the four-person pack leading the race means we'll see more sparring between their campaigns.
And as if on cue, while I was writing this piece, the latest twist in this saga unfolded, with multiple sources telling CNN that Sanders told Warren in a December 2018 meeting that a woman couldn't win the presidency. Sanders denied the characterization of the meeting to CNN, accusing "staff who weren't in the room" of "lying about what happened." Warren's communications director declined to comment. As the news cycle spins over again, it seems like someone is turning up the gas on their grill.

If you happen to be a movie character and find yourself near Mark Wahlberg these days, you had best duck and cover.
Fresh off of "Deepwater Horizon," in which he played a daring oil rig worker who goes beyond his job description to save as many people as possible while getting to the bottom of the mystery of why the rig exploded, he's now in "Patriots Day," in which he plays a daring cop who goes beyond his job description to save as many people as possible while getting to the bottom of the mystery of who bombed the Boston Marathon.
Although Wahlberg was as strong as usual in "Deepwater Horizon," he takes his performance to another level in "Patriots Day," no doubt driven by his personal connection to the material due to his Boston heritage. Three people perished in the 2013 tragedy, that shook the community to its core but managed to galvanize the wounded in a "Boston Strong" movement.
There was plenty of opportunity to pander to that mentality with a corny, violen-swelling Movie of the Week, but director Peter Berg wisely sticks with hard-boiled, spare storytelling, avoiding easy opportunities to force empathy and emotion by sticking to the raw energy stemming from the frenzied hunt for the bombers.
Kevin Bacon and John Goodman play higher-ups who orchestrate the workmanlike manhunt, which sweeps a dragnet over the city, scrapping together clues with cell phone and security camera sweeps, witness grilling and scene-scouring. Wahlberg is a beat cop who flavors the investigation with street smarts.
Rather than turning Wahlberg's character into an invulnerable superhero, he's simply a cog in a humming machine that works with cool efficiency to track down the killers. Berg's eye for detail and proclivity for sifting through thousands of interlocked stories to sift out the brightest, most invigorating vignettes and shaping them into a consistent story helps his film rise above the level of sentimental slop. He even takes a somewhat empathetic eye to the bombers, peeking into their backgrounds and twisted motivations rather than blacking them out as shapeless boogeymen.
"Patriots Day" works with the vigor and momentum of a weeknight crime expose, thoroughly educating while never failing to entertain. While there is no joy in reliving one of the nation's most grim moments of the decade, the film is a satisfying exercise in heartache and tribute to the kernels of heart that blossomed into heroism in so many unsuspecting people, lining that dark day with a shimmering light.

Turkey Bans Crypto for Payments, Bitcoin and Other Tokens Plummet
Bitcoin fell sharply on Friday, following the Central bank of the Republic of Turkey's (CBRT) decision to ban cryptocurrencies for payments. The rule comes into effect from the 30th of April.
Bitcoin dropped 4.6 percent on Friday. Other crypto tokens like ETH also fell significantly.
Turkey's crypto market had gained momentum recently, and this decision could prove to reduce this momentum, or even crash it completely. The decision has come under close scrutiny, and many are wondering if more countries will join the suit. There are those against the sudden move. Turkey's main opposition leader, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, maintains that this is another case of "midnight bullying".
Why Crypto for Payments was Banned
Reuters had placed crypto trading volumes in Turkey at about 218 billion lire, approximately $27 billion, from February to 24th March alone. The Turkish authorities had demanded that crypto trading platforms share user information.
The CBRT claims that the reasons behind the ban on crypto-based payments are
Lack of centralized regulatory authority and regulations
Absence of supervision mechanisms
Potential non-recoverable losses for the parties involved in a transaction
Inclusion of elements that could undermine the confidence in existing payment methods and instruments.
CBRT states that "Payment service providers will not be able to develop business models in a way that crypto assets are used directly or indirectly in the provision of payment services and electronic money issuance"
Impact on Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies
Companies like Tesla, PayPal, and Royal Motors, Turkey's distributor of Rolls-Royce, were set to accept cryptocurrencies as a method of payment. For them and many others, decisions like these deal a severe blow.
The 4.6% fall in Bitcoin, 3.9% fall in Ethereum, and so on were a shock for sure. They are proof that such decisions could significantly shake the confidence of crypto investors. Ahmed Karsli, CEO of payment systems firm Paparo, commented "This is a regulation that makes me concerned for my country" he commented.
Such bans are definitely difficult to impose, but it still shocks those trading and holding these assets.
It is not just Turkey that has set its eyes on cryptocurrency. In fact, China already has policies in place that have banned crypto trading since 2017. India is also preparing a ban on cryptocurrencies.
Technological advances will definitely create new payment methods. Banning them might be the simplest option, but there should also be efforts to deal with the rise in financial technology. Until that time, investors and traders should definitely stay updated with the latest in crypto.
