In most of the examples used in the paper the "bump" or kernel used to construct the KDE is the normal probability density function. The spread of this kernel, which affects the appearance of the KDE, is determined by the standard deviation of the normal distribution. In the context of kernel density estimation we shall call this the window-width and denote it by h. For distributions other than the normal, with finite spread, the window width is directly related to this spread; however we shall not consider such cases here.
Figure 28: The effect on the KDE of different choices of window-width, h.
That the choice of h can dramatically affect the appearance of the KDE is easily illustrated by the example in Figure 28, from Beardah and Baxter (1996), which uses data on the diameters of sixty Bronze Age Italian cups, and was also used in Figure 1. This shows the appearance of the KDE for a normal kernel with four choices of h. The appearance for the smallest value of h is rather jagged, and the data is under-smoothed with too many peaks. As h increases the appearance of the KDE becomes smoother until, in the final over-smoothed diagram, any structure in the data has disappeared.
Clearly the choice of h is important, and this is considered in the rest of this section.
If the true density to be estimated is normal, and if a normal kernel is used, theory exists to determine the optimal choice of h (Silverman, 1986, p.45). It is approximately (actually 1.06 times) the standard deviation of the true density, divided by the fifth root of the sample size. This is the normal scale rule. In practice the standard deviation would need to be estimated. For non-normal, multi-modal data, the normal scale rule will over-smooth the data. For the Bronze Age cup diameters used in Figures 1 and 28 the normal scale rule gives a value of h = 2.5. This gives the third diagram in Figure 28, where the second mode is almost completely smoothed out.
A legitimate way of deciding on a value of h is subjective choice. Starting, perhaps, with the normal scale rule and systematically reducing the value of h allows the change in the appearance of the KDE to be monitored. The appearance will often be qualitatively similar over a wide range of h, before spurious "bumps" begin to suggest under-smoothing, so that a precise choice may not be important for presentational purposes.
Figure 29: A further illustration to show the effect of varying h.
This is illustrated in Figure 29, using the Bronze Age cup diameters, where a broadly similar picture is obtained for h in the range 1 to 2, with spurious bumps beginning to appear for h = 1.
There are many methods of automatically selecting h that improve on the normal scale rule. A good recent account is given by Wand and Jones (1995), and a summary of a subset of these is presented in a technical fashion in Baxter and Beardah (1996). A "good" KDE is one which is close to the true but unknown density in some sense. One possible measure of "closeness" can be shown to be a function of a term that can be interpreted as the "roughness" of the true density, which is also unknown. Direct plug-in (DPI) and solve-the-equation (STE) rules are obtained from different ways of estimating this roughness. In the STE approach, which is the one that will be used in this paper, an equation is established that relates h to the unknown density. An initial choice of h allows the density to be estimated and h is then recalculated. This process is repeated until h converges. Using the Bronze Age cup diameter data, Figure 30 contrasts the STE with the normal scale estimator. The bimodal structure is much more apparent, although it is possible that the STE estimate is slightly under-smoothing.
Figure 30: A comparison of the normal scale and STE rules for generating h.

The Resource The view from Xanadu : William Randolph Hearst and United States foreign policy, Ian Mugridge, (electronic resource)
The item The view from Xanadu : William Randolph Hearst and United States foreign policy, Ian Mugridge, (electronic resource) represents a specific, individual, material embodiment of a distinct intellectual or artistic creation found in Massey University Library, University of New Zealand.
Mugridge, Ian
"The Hearst newspaper chain, at its peak the largest in the history of American journalism, was a mouthpiece for William Randolph Hearst. He used the editorial page to expound his views on national and world events, becoming a major and ever-present figure in the political arena. Despise and hate him as they might - and many of them did - American presidents and politicians could not ignore him, even during his later years. In The View from Xanadu Ian Mugridge evaluates Hearst's attitudes toward U.S. foreign policy issues and the effect of his views on national foreign policy in the first half of the twentieth century." "Hearst is usually remembered as a flag-waving, jingoistic patriot who was anti-British, anti-French, anti-Oriental - anti-almost everything except the United States. He was regarded as an admirer of Hitler and Mussolini, and a staunch isolationist who believed that minimizing American contact with the rest of the world was the only sure way to achieve security." "Using all the journalistic apparatus at his disposal, Hearst trumpeted his views about the conduct of other nations and peoples and, more particularly, about the conduct of his own country in relation to them. The Spanish-American War of 1898 was often described as "Mr Hearst's war" because of the role he apparently played in pushing the United States into the war. Mugridge investigates Hearst's journalistic tactics, which seldom varied, and concludes that ultimately Hearst's flamboyant style militated against his being taken seriously by those responsible for the nation's affairs." "Exploring the personal side of this very public figure, Mugridge argues that Hearst was a far more complex individual than previous biographers have assumed. He probes beneath Hearst's largely self-created image to delineate the aspirations, anxieties, and vanities that led Hearst to embrace and advance his positions on U.S. foreign relations."--Jacket

Top Cancer-Fighting Foods
By Kathleen Hall
According to the 2009 Policy and Action for Cancer Prevention report, roughly one third of the most common cancers are preventable through diet, physical activity, and weight maintenance. By making healthy lifestyle changes, the report says, Americans could prevent as many as 45 percent of colon cancers and 38 percent of breast cancer cases.
Diet and Cancer
No single food or food component can protect us from cancer. However, evidence shows that a diet filled with a variety of plant foods helps lower the risk for many cancers. Plants contain many vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals that demonstrate anti-cancer effects. Phytochemicals, such as flavonoids and carotenoids (found in red, orange, and yellow fruits and vegetables), are biologically active plant substances we need to be healthy.
Most unprocessed, plant-based foods contain disease-fighting components. However, these foods are particular standouts when it comes to cancer prevention.
Berries, especially blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and cranberries.
Cruciferous vegetables, including broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower (these in particular contain indole 3-carbinol, which converts cancer-promoting estrogen into a more productive variety), as well as brussel sprouts, rapini, and white turnips.
Kale, collards, and other dark, leafy greens.
Flaxseeds, which contain phytoestrogenic properties and mimic the effects of estrogen in the body.
Legumes (such as brown, black, and kidney beans), nuts, and seeds.
Garlic, which increases activity of cancer-fighting immune cells and indirectly helps break down cancer-causing substances; onions, scallions, leeks, and chives are in the same vegetable family.
Soy, including tofu, edamame, soymilk, and miso.
Green tea, which contain flavonoids and polyphenols.
Spices and herbs, especially rosemary and turmeric,.
Other good cancer-preventing food choices include apples, cherries, grapefruit, figs, avocados, whole grains, grapes, grape juice, tomatoes, mushrooms, citrus fruits, sweet potatoes, sea vegetables, and chili and jalapeño peppers.
Many of the nutrients in these foods, such as vitamins C and E, flavonoids, and polyphenols, also have crucial antioxidant properties. Antioxidants inhibit oxidation in cells (think rust on metal or the browning of a cut slice of apple), which can damage DNA and other cell structures. Shoot for moderate amounts of many antioxidants, rather than large amounts of any one or two.
Aim to fulfill two-thirds of your overall diet and protein sources from a wide variety of colorful fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and beans. The brighter, bolder, and deeper the color of a food, the more vitamins and minerals it has.

Triumph of the Immaculate Heart: Theology of the Body and Our Lady of Fatima (MP3)
Many people are aware that John Paul II was shot on the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima, but few know that that day he was planning to establish both his pastoral and theological arm for disseminating his Theology of the Body. Could it be that mysterious forces did not want John Paul II's teaching to spread? In this riveting presentation, delivered in Fatima, Portugal, Christopher West explores what the secrets of Fatima reveal about this critical moment in history and how each and every one of us can play a role in bringing about the promised "triumph of the Immaculate Heart."
In this talk you'll discover:
How and why John Paul II's Theology of the Body is intimately linked to the messages of Fatima
The deeper (and little known) "error of Russia" that continues to spread throughout the world threatening civilization at its roots
The connection between Marxism, communism, feminism, and the sexual revolution
The meaning of the "triump of the Immaculate Heart" and how it will overcome the distortions of sexuality so rampant in our world today
Biblical passages that seem to foretell the rapid collapse of the ideology of sexual distortion so rampant in our world today

Brought in at a local shop. A local class 3 guy died and his family gave the ammo to a "friend" of the deceased who is selling all of it of for a tidy profit.
The Privi 54R is particularly interesting as it is contract ammo made in 2003 for Iraqi forces. Non corrosive and boxer primed. I will buy some of that and the Hungarian heavy ball.
If I lived close by, a LOT of that would be going home with me.
Location: Land of moss,mudd and liberal bullshyte.
A true "friend" of the deceased would cut his profit margin to get more coin for the family. At least that's what I'd do.
What if the Mystery Babalon described in Revelation, which is destroyed by the nations of the North, is actually America?
The biggest problem with religion is those who claim to know Jesus, then turn around and deny Him with their lifestyle. That is what a unbelieving world, simply finds unbelievable.
Before you die, you should have a will with extra copies. The old saying "No one will screw you faster than family" is bloody well true.
Women are dangerous. All warm, soft and cuddly on the outside, and berserker, Ragnarok crazy upstairs in the control room.
That Hungarian silver over yellow stuff is HOT. I had a couple cans of that and shot it through my Mosin carbines. Ow, my aching shoulder. Big fireballs too.
That stuff was specifically made to pull NATO Level 3 rifle armor plates through the soldier wearing it in strings and shards. Often x54 has lower velocity than NATO x51 so they figured out needed to have some hot steel core for troops in armor. Been told ISIS snipers like the steel core x54 as it allows them to make center mass shots knowing it will defeat our current armor plates.
Never understood why we use 7.62x51 NATO ball as our standard for ability of rifle plates instead of 7.62x54 steel core. Guess it's why a lot of troops run their own personally purchased plates.
Part of that is because the Warsaw Pact 54R comes in 172ish grain heavy ball (usually yellow tip like that Hungarian stuff) and 147ish grain light ball (like Czech and Romanian LPS). The heavy ball would definitely have slower velocities than Nato standard 150ish grain 7.62x51.
A lot of guys used to think silvertip meant light ball, but it just means steel core, though yellow tip does mean heavy ball. So silver tip over yellow means steel core heavy ball. Though, it doesn't appear that the Warsaw Pact nations were consistent with this. An absence of color codes means it could be anything.
An absence of color codes means it could be anything.
"Anything"?.....no, an absence of a color code means it is ball ammo. In the case of 7.62x54R the date of production and country of mfg will tell you if it is type L (lead core) or LPS (steel core).
All times are GMT -5. The time now is 05:01.

El Castillo de Monforte, en el Alto Alentejo, está situado en la parroquia y el municipio de  Monforte, distrito de  Portalegre, Portugal.

En una posición dominante sobre la villa que le da nombre, junto con los castillos de  Veiros,  Campo Maior y  Ouguela, tenían como función primitiva la defensa de la frontera con los moros y Castilla. Actualmente el pueblo forma parte del «Área de Promoción Turística de Planicies».

Historia

Antecedentes
Aunque no hay información sobre el origen o la fundación de Monforte, es posible que se remonte a un  castro prerromano, convertido en un pequeño ópido en la época romana, ocupado sucesivamente por visigodos y musulmanes.

El castillo medieval
En la época de la Reconquista Cristiana de la península ibérica, el asentamiento fue inicialmente conquistado en 1139 en una ofensiva de las fuerzas del rey  Afonso Henriques (1112-1185) a la región. Con el objetivo de su asentamiento y defensa, el soberano le aprobó una carta en 1168. Más tarde, el asentamiento y su defensa, fueron reconquistados por los musulmanes con base en el Castillo de Ayamonte, para volver a Portugal en una fecha incierta.

Tras la conquista definitiva de la región, devastada y despoblada por los combates, Alfonso II de Portugal  (1248-1279) concedió una carta a la villa y término de «Monforte», asegurando amplios privilegios a sus habitantes (1257), aumentando su población y haciendo que sus defensas se recuperen.

 Don Dinis (1279-1325) donó a su esposa D. Isabel el señor de la villa de Monforte como dote de boda (1281) junto con la de las villas de Óbidos, Porto de Mós, Sintra y otras. Por determinación de este soberano, se inició la reconstrucción del castillo arruinado por los conflictos y el tiempo, concomitantemente con la valla de la ciudad (1309). El nuevo castillo se construyó en el contexto de una línea defensiva que cubría la línea fronteriza de la región en dirección norte - sur, integrada por los castillos de  Aronches,  Portalegre,  Marvão,  Alegrete, Castelo de Vide, Vila Viçosa,  Borba,  Veiros,  Alandroal y otros.

Pedro I de Portugal entregó la alcaldía del castillo a D. Aires Afonso (1357). Al año siguiente (1358), el monarca confirmó amplios privilegios al condado y a los hombres de Monforte.

En el contexto de la  crisis de 1383-1385, la ciudad y su castillo mantuvieron el partido de D.ª Beatriz, siendo ocupado por Martim Anes Barbuda, que se refugió aquí durante unos días después de la batalla de los Atoleiros, resistiendo el asedio de las fuerzas del Condestable, D. Nuno Álvares Pereira.

Juan I de Portugal (1385-1433) y sus hijos y sucesores  Duarte (1433-1438) y  Afonso V (1438-1481) hasta D. Juan III (1521-1557) confirmó los privilegios a los habitantes de la villa y el término de Monforte. El primero donó los dominios de esta aldea al alguacil, en una fecha incierta entre 1391 y 1395, por los servicios prestados durante la crisis de 1383-1385. En 1455, el soberano donó los dominios de la villa al Conde de Arraiolos, entrando así en los de la Casa de Braganza. Más tarde, en 1463, la donación sería confirmada por el soberano al hijo del Conde de Arraiolos, D. Fernando, Conde de Guimarães. Más tarde, en 1476, el mismo soberano concedió los dominios de la ciudad, su castillo y todas sus rentas y jurisdicciones al Duque de Guimarães. Su hijo y sucesor,  Juan II de Portugal (1481-1495), deshizo esta donación en 1483, devolviendo estos dominios a la posesión de la Corona, al mismo tiempo que concedía amplios privilegios a sus residentes. La Casa de Braganza recuperó estos dominios, para no perderlos, bajo el reinado de  Manuel I (1495-1521), cuando el soberano los concedió, con todos los derechos y rentas, al Duque de Braganza, D. Jaime, en 1501. Fecha de este período la figuración de la ciudad y sus defensas por Duarte de Armas en el Libro de las Fortalezas, c. 1509, donde se anota el nombre del probable responsable de su construcción: Gonçalo de Aguiar. El soberano concedió el Foral Novo a la ciudad en 1512.

Desde la Guerra de Restauración hasta nuestros días
En el contexto de la  Guerra de Restauración, el Consejo de Guerra de D. Juan IV (1640-1656) modernizó las defensas de la ciudad de Monforte, adaptándolas a los disparos de artillería, cuando se erigieron cuatro baluartes. Una segunda línea defensiva, en la limpieza y en la tierra implicaba a la aldea de la época, de la que no quedan rastros hoy en día.

La aldea y su fortificación cayó momentáneamente ante las tropas españolas bajo el mando de Don Juan de Austria (28 de junio de 1662). Aprovechando, sin embargo, la retirada del grueso de las fuerzas españolas a Badajoz, las tropas portuguesas consiguieron reconquistar la plaza a principios del mes siguiente, concretamente el 11 de julio.

La plaza volvería a ser objeto de varios ataques durante la Guerra de Sucesión Española y de nuevo durante la Guerra de la Independencia Española. En este contexto, durante la llamada Guerra de las Naranjas (1801), el castillo medieval fue destruido por una violenta incursión de las tropas españolas, dejando en pie sólo el torreón y algunas secciones de las murallas.

Los restos de la fortificación de Monforte no están clasificados.

Características
El castillo medieval de Monforte tenía unas primitivas murallas reforzadas por cuatro torres, entre ellas la torre del homenaje. En estos muros se rasgaron cuatro puertas. El conjunto estaba todavía integrado por la cisterna y los fosos circundantes, añadiendo, en el siglo XVII cuatro bastiones. La llamada «Torre del Reloj» sobrevive.

Reading the History of Popular Literature part 3: The Progressive Era and WWI (1900-1919)
Submitted by Eric Rosenfield on Sun, 2011-11-20 18:01
This article is part of my series Reading the History of Popular Literature.
Books marked with a red asterix (*) are recommended reading. Books that were read previous to starting this project are marked "(previously read)". The country indicated in parentheses is the country of the author's origin (or citizenship), not necessarily the country in which the book was written. If the country of first publication is different then the author's country of origin, it is noted.
Books marked "(Not finished)" I did not finish reading.
What we call the Progressive Era in the United States coincides roughly with the Edwardian Era in the United Kingdom, the period after the turn of the century up until the first world war. It was a time of optimism and ideals mixed with chaos and social and political disruption; big ideas like woman's suffrage, alcohol prohibition, eugenics, occultism, Communism and Anarchism were all gaining traction, and major technological advances—the automobile, electricity, the telephone, the movie camera, the machine gun, etc.—were changing everyday life at an unprecedented rate. The rise of industry led to corporate power on a level no one had seen before, and American industrialists like Rockefeller, Morgan and Hearst ranked among the wealthiest people in the world. All this went hand-in-hand with plenty of violence, in the form of state-sanctioned genocide, revolutionary agitation, the assassination of major political figures and finally the bloodiest war Western history had seen to that point.
In popular literature, reaction to all this change generally manifested as yearning for a simpler time or a simpler world. This simpler world might be in the past, in the future, on another planet, over the rainbow or even just in the cops-and-robbers dramas of the newspaper, but one thing you could count on was that the characters would be larger-than-life, good and evil would be clearly demarcated and good would most certainly triumph in the end.
In America, and to a lesser extent Britain and Europe, there was also a massive influx of immigrants during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, as new technologies (like the steam and then the gasoline engine), and economic and political changes allowed population movement on an unprecedented scale. The racial and class anxiety this caused in the West manifested in popular literature as bald racism and stories where heroic whites battle against corrupt and evil foreigners or dark-skinned monsters.
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum (America - 1900) (Previously read)
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is doomed to always be overshadowed by the more famous and frankly superior 1939 film version. Baum was known for not wanting to scare or overburden children, and while his book and its many sequels have a certain charm, the characters are simple and talk mostly about themselves, and rarely engage in real dialog. We're a long way from comparatively sophisticated children's novels like the Harry Potter series or even books in what's called nowadays the "middlegrade" category. (Or, for that matter, almost any movie produced by Pixar, which are marvels of plot and character done in a way that satisfies both children or adults.)
Oz falls very solidly into the "nostalgia for a simpler time" camp, and its Victorianized Medieval world replaces locomotives and telegraphs with magic bubbles and flying monkeys, while still allowing for a tin man and, in the second book, a clockwork man, presaging the fusion of the Medieval and the industrial in fantasy to come.
The Gods of Pegāna by Edward Plunkett, Lord Dunsany (United Kingdom - 1905)
Lord Dunsany's influence on modern fantasy and horror can't be overstated. Dunsany took the orientalist and gothic tendencies of the 19th century and transformed them into whole pantheons of alien gods and invented mythologies.
This book is a collection of mythological tales of the imaginary gods of the land of Pegāna, and while it doesn't have much in the way of plot (it's rather encyclopedic), its deities inform the later ones of HP Lovecraft, JRR Tolkien and Dungeons and Dragons; in other words, the whole tradition of religion in fantasy owes much to Dunsany. I'll talk more about his influence on fantasy when we get to his novel The King of Elfland's Daughter (1924).
Arsène Lupin, Gentleman Burglar by Maurice Leblanc (France - 1907) (Previously read) *
Arsène Lupin may not be the first gentleman thief (see A. J. Raffles from the previous installment), but he is the archetypical one. In one story, after he gets caught by the authorities, he breaks out of prison just to show he can do it, walks back into the prison, and then at trial convinces the entire court that they have the wrong man. He will never pick a low-profile theft over a high-profile one, even if the low-profile one will make him more money. He is all about flair, theatrics, high society and honor, even to the point of returning everything he's stolen from a woman because he decides he likes her.
Leblanc also engages in some early fan-fiction that revels in his love of and debt to Arthur Conan Doyle— he brings Sherlock Holmes himself out of retirement to go head-to-head with Lupin in a battle of wits. When Doyle sued for copyright infringement, Leblanc, showing brass balls, changed the name of the character to "Herlock Sholmes". Yes, really.
The Magician by W. Somerset Maugham (United Kingdom - 1908)
The Magician is Maugham's send-up of the then-infamous figure of Aleister Crowley, who Maugham had met in Paris. Crowley was the most visible member in the popular Occultism movement, which sought to unlock the mysteries of the unknown through hidden ("occult") knowledge of the ancients, like magic(k) and alchemy. He was popularly called the "most evil man alive" and was known to have changed his name from Alexander because in his study of numerology he found that Aleister translated in the numbers "666", the number of the beast.
Maugham transforms him into Oliver Haddo, a figure not too dissimilar from Svengali or Polidori's Lord Ruthven. Haddo is a wily aristocrat who seduces people with both emotional manipulation and magic that functions much like hypnosis. He spirits away the hero's fiance and uses her virgin blood to create a gallery of monsters, in a Frankensteinian quest to produce life. One can draw a pretty straight line from this book to the mad alchemists of HP Lovecraft a couple decades later.
The House on the Borderland by William Hope Hodgson (United Kingdom - 1908)
A much clearer and more direct influence on Lovecraft, Hodgeson, in The House on the Borderland, takes the spooky and monstrous aspects of Gothic fiction and firmly roots them in unfathomable, other-dimensional alien beings and happenings on a cosmic scale. This is a significant shift not just because it influenced Lovecraft, but because it thoroughly fuses the mystical with the science fictional. Monsters and magic are no longer quaint vestiges of a by-gone era to be playfully harkened back to as in Walpole, or easily rationalized and made mundane, as in Radcliffe. No, they are things that may be real, lurking under the fabric of the known all this time. The book is also oddly hallucinogenic, and there are long passages where the main character goes into a sort of trance and seems travel across space and time, eventually witnessing the death of the solar system and the eruption of stars from another dimension into our space. This is probably part and parcel with the same turn-of-the-century interest in mysticism and the Occult that gave rise to Crowley; it was a popular notion of the time that seances, transcendental trances and telepathy were real and had a scientific basis not yet discovered. While skeptics like Harry Houdini would go to great lengths to debunk such claims this trend of thought, as we shall see, never went away and continued to influence popular fiction.
Ralph 124C 41+ by Hugo Gernsback (America - 1911)
This book is sometimes referred to, notably by Samuel R. Delany, as the first ever Science Fiction novel. But wait, you may say, what about HG Wells and Jules Verne and all the other science fiction-esque books I've covered in this series? What about Frankenstein, which is also often referred to as the first science fiction novel? To answer that question you have to separate science fiction--or scientific romance--the mode of writing, from Science Fiction, the genre category. While traces of the former can be found all the way back to Greek mythology (think of Hephaestus' artificial servants), the latter begins firmly with Hugo Gernsback. Gernsback was an inventor and businessman, and his first and only novel, Ralph 124C 41+ was published not in a fiction magazine but in an electronics magazine which he himself edited. The story was a hit, and led ultimately to him creating a publication just for this sort of fiction, Amazing Stories (launched 1926), the first periodical to definitively separate tales of scientific speculation from other sorts of stories. Eventually, this led to the publishing category called "Science Fiction", and, because Gernsback published the addresses of correspondents in his letters column, and those people then wrote to each other, this also led to the Science Fiction fandom community, and this, more than anything else, helped to define the new genre as an entity distinct from the rest of literature.
Ralph 124C 41+ is as much a story as a manifesto for a type of writing, a writing that is based firmly on existing scientific theory and extrapolates from that theory a wondrous world to come. There are characters, but they are simple and larger-than-life. There is a plot, but it exists mainly as way to get from one amazing invention to the next. No, the true main characters of the book are its gizmos. Some of the gizmos do indeed anticipate the future; for instance, Gernsback here describes what's essentially radar decades before it was actually invented. He describes 3D television (and channel-surfing), as well as space ships, microfilm, electric cars, picture phones, and many, many other things. Some inventions are based on outdated scientific ideas, notably a device that removes the ether from the air which was thought (at the time) to be the substance that light moved through.
In short, as a novel it's pretty terrible and as a work of future-predicting it's interesting and quaint from a modern perspective. But, most importantly, as an emblem for a certain kind of fiction, Ralph 124C 41+ set the stage for SF in the pulp era and represents the transition from the scientific romance of the 19th century into the Science Fiction of the 20th.
Fantômas by Marcel Allain and Pierre Souvestre (France - 1911) (Not finished)
I had high hopes for Fantômas. Here's the description of the book from Wikipedia:
Fantômas was introduced a few years after Arsène Lupin, another well-known thief. But whereas Lupin draws the line at murder, Fantômas has no such qualms and is shown as a sociopath who enjoys killing in a sadistic fashion.
He is totally ruthless, gives no mercy, and is loyal to none, not even his own children. He is a master of disguise, always appearing under an assumed identity, often that of a person whom he has murdered. Fantômas makes use of bizarre and improbable techniques in his crimes, such as plague-infested rats, giant snakes, and rooms that fill with sand.
Arèsene Lupin without the moral scruples, fond of death traps and disguise! Sounds like just my cup of tea! Unfortunately, the book turned out to be incredibly slow and meandering, which was shocking in something that's ostensibly a crime thriller. There are long passages that describe the inside of a train car, or two people walking through a field, or workers in a train yard, none of which has terribly much bearing on the plot. In fact, the instigation of the plot, the murder of a minor character, doesn't even happen until some 50 pages into the book, and there isn't much resembling a plot (or character development, or anything) up until then to keep one reading. What a terrible disappointment.
The Magic World by E. Nesbit (United Kingdom - 1912) *
The Magic World is an adorable book of children's stories, well-known not least because in one of the stories a boy passes through a wardrobe into another world, which is thought to have inspired C. S. Lewis. It's of its time in many ways, as when the children dress up as characters in an Arabian story (showing the continued influence of Orientalism and The Arabian Nights). But overall it's pretty charming stuff and I would easily give it to a child (or adult) to read today. Mari Ness, over at Tor.com, has written some fairly intersting articles about Edith Nesbit's life and work including about how she was a committed socialist, polyamorist and bisexual at a time when that was very scandalous indeed, and worked subtle (and not-so-subtle) social criticism into her books.
Riders of the Purple Sage by Zane Grey (America - 1912) *
There were Western novels before Riders of the Purple Sage, going back to when the wild West was actually wild, but this book helped solidify the uniquely American mythology of the West, and was one of the most popular and influential works in the genre.
Given that this genre is never something that I had any particular yen for, I was surprised by how much I liked this book. It still holds up, more or less: the characters are gritty and compelling, the plot, while melodramatic, is always entertaining, and the Old West with its rolling hills of sage is described in such loving detail that it becomes a character unto itself. Other things that surprised me: the book's about Mormons, and the primary tensions in it are between the Mormons and the "gentiles", as Mormon's call those not of their faith. Also this is the first book I've read for this series that has something resembling a fully formed and powerful woman who is an agent in her own life. Jane Withersteen is a very wealthy and powerful Mormon, thanks to the inheritance from her father, who befriends and falls in love with a gentile—an outlaw and a stranger. She then refuses to bow down the will of the Church and the arranged marriage with a man who just wants access to her land and money. The book is not kind to the LDS Church, and apparently the original edition was censored in the terms it used to describe it (the edition I read is "restored"). The Church is portrayed not only as sexist, closed-minded, bigoted and domineering, but downright murderous. There's also a fascinating subplot with another man who shoots and almost kills a legendary masked rider only to discover that the rider is a woman, and then nurses her back to health and (naturally) falls in love with her.
Strangely, while there are certainly gunfights in the book, most of them happen off-stage and are then related second-hand, as if this were a play, while the main action is given over to the romantic entanglements of the characters and their feelings of oppression by the Church. However, we know we're still in badass territory when the outlaw Venters snarls, "Where would anyone be on this frontier without his guns?"
It's also interesting to note that this is the last generation where a writer could presume the audience had a general familiarity with horses, and so some of the horse care and riding is described in terms that I had to look up.
This is also very much still in the time where one could not even hint at the idea of sex before marriage, even when the man and his masked rider are holed up together in a cave for months all alone. For comparison, Ulysses would not begin serialization in The Little Review until 1918 and wouldn't be published in its full form in the US until after a censorship trial in 1933. Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer was published in 1934 but banned in the US until 1961. Those are the most famous examples of books with sexual content being banned, but we'll see in this series how the treatment of sex evolved over time.
A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs (America - serialized 1912, collected 1917) (previously read)
When news broke that there was going to be yet another movie of John Carter of Mars, some of my comrades on Twitter said that this time they wanted a film that was true to the original book. I responded that this was impossible, because the book was incredibly racist and sexist. A faithful adaptation of the Burroughs Mars material would be as impossible now as a faithful remake of The Birth of a Nation. (Admittedly an exaggeration; A Princess of Mars in nowhere near as racist as The Birth of a Nation, or even The Mystery of Fu Manchu (see below), but the point stands.)
A Princess of Mars is the story of John Carter, a Confederate officer and gold prospector in the late 19th century American West. While hiding from Apaches, he is mysteriously transported to the planet Mars, where the lesser gravity makes him incredibly strong and able to leap far distances. He finds societies of several different aliens, most hostile to each other, the best of which is a species exactly identical to [caucasian] humans (though without Carter's superior strength). Oh, and everyone on Mars goes around buck naked, especially the beautiful titular princess, Dejah Thoris. She naturally falls in love with John Carter, and he, in turn, uses his courage and manly manliness to fight off aliens and monsters and ultimately save the whole planet.
The non-human aliens here are basically shorthand for various Earth races, with ape-like African and conniving Asian stereotypes. The influence of these novels on George Lucas possibly explains the similar alien stereotypes in the Star Wars prequels. How all these species, including humans, evolved on Mars is never really addressed, though the notion of aliens who conveniently look and more-or-less behave exactly like us is one that will come back again and again.
But whatever else is to be said about the book, it was definitely influential. Even more, perhaps, than Burroughs' most famous creation, Tarzan; there are whole lineages of interplanetary adventure stories that can trace their way back directly to John Carter. And while Burroughs is not a great stylist by any measure of the term, and his plots are contrived almost as a rule, his way of constructing adventure stories was always readable, thrilling and reliably action packed. His work is a huge and clear influence on the pulp era of the 20s and 30s, and it's hard to imagine that era without him.
The Mystery of Dr. Fu Manchu by Sax Rohmer (United Kingdom - 1913)
Published as The Insidious Dr. Fu Manchu in America, The Mystery of Dr. Fu Manchu may be the single most racist and sexist book I've ever read. Just how racist and sexist is it? Here's an excerpt:
"You don't know the oriental mind as I do; but I quite understand the girl's position. She fears the English authorities, but would submit to capture by you! If you would only seize her by the hair, drag her to some cellar, hurl her down and stand over her with a whip, she would tell you everything she knows, and salve her strange Eastern conscience with the reflection that speech was forced from her. I am not joking, it is so, I assure you. And she would adore you for your savagery, deeming you forceful and strong!"
Ah, yes, Oriental women will only respect you if you throw them down and beat them. Good to know! And keep in mind that the "Oriental" girl being referred to here is blonde, without even the explanation of whiteness that Monte Cristo had for its oriental femme (she was Greek, which was part of the Ottoman Empire at the time). Perhaps the author simply couldn't bare the idea of his characters being sexually attracted to someone who was actually Asiatic. Fu Manchu himself, who is described as "the living embodiment of the yellow peril", has green eyes, again without explanation. I'm not sure what exactly we're supposed to conclude from that.
Fu Manchu has no mustache, which was as shocking to me as the discovery that Dracula has one. In the movie serials of this series, Fu Manchu is always portrayed (by a white man in yellowface) with a long, thin mustache, to the point where that style is even known as the "Fu Manchu mustache". Like Fantômas, Fu Manchu prefers elaborate means of executing his enemies, like death traps and exotic animals. However, unlike Fantomas, The Mystery of Fu Manchu is the first book in this series that I've felt is actually paced like a modern thriller: the action starts and never lets up from beginning to end, with practically a cliff-hanger on every page. Like Mars, this book neatly leads into the stories of the pulp era of the 20s and 30s.
"The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka (Austria-Hungary - 1915) (Previously read) *
As with Hucklebury Finn, this is another work where there's not much more to say but which I couldn't ignore. "The Metamorphosis" has had books written about it, and it's important and interesting and good for dozens of reasons. In terms of the literary lineages we're tracking for the project, the term "magical realism" was invented in the German-speaking world to talk about writers like Kafka and Robert Walser, and so this style of writing (and Kafka's work in general) would become incredibly influential when the mode moved to Latin America. Kafka liked his magic unexplained and unexplainable, a magic that is also surreal, a surrealism that is also magic. Kafka, of course, wouldn't be translated into English until the 40s, long after his death, and so his direct influence on the Anglophone world wouldn't happen until then.
Not read:
Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs (America - 1912)
As mentioned, Tarzan of the Apes is without a doubt Burroughs most well-known and popular book. Serialized around the same time as A Princess of Mars (clearly a fertile period for Burroughs), Tarzan was a mega-hit, and Burroughs continued writing the ape-man's adventures into the 1940s. It has been made into films 8 times, and to my knowledge has never been out of print. It influenced not just stories of wild men in the modern world, but stories of barbarian heroes like Conan the Cimmerian.
That all said, I didn't bother reading it. I feel like I've read enough Burroughs to get an idea of what he was on about, and I just don't like him enough to read more.
Honerable mention:
The Weird edited by Jeff and Ann VanderMeer (2011)
The VanderMeers have assembled this massive book (800 pages) that traces the lineage of Weird fiction, that strain of fiction typified by Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith and co, from the beginning of the 20th century to today. At first, I thought I would cover the stories in the book in the articles in the series, but once I started reading it I realized that the VanderMeers' project and this one were trying to do two different things. The Weird seeks to find and root out the obscure and unknown influences and instances of weird fiction and put them alongside the more famous ones to present a continuous chronology. This series, on the other hand, seeks to look specifically at popular works and see how they evolved over time. That said, The Weird is a fascinating book and well worth getting and reading and loving.

Australia's Greatest Cycling Event, Tour Down Under to Push Off in Hahndorf
Excitement is mounting for January 16, 2020, when the popular and electrifying Santos Women's Tour Down Under is set kick off with an official start in the Main Street of Hahndorf.
The annual Australian Santos Tour Down Under is known to be the paramount Australian cycling event of the year and is one of the largest and most-followed bike races held in the southern hemisphere.
"We expect there to be around 2,500 people in Hahndorf bursting with excitement whilst patiently waiting for the women's race to open the 2020 Santos Tour Down Under event."
"The entire Hahndorf village community and the Adelaide Hills region will get behind this wonderful international sporting event. Expect to see a brightly decorated Main Street and lots of buzz," said Mount Barker's Tourism Development Manager – Andy Glen.
"If you get into Hahndorf early you will be able to enjoy a free breakfast hosted by the Hahndorf Lions and live local entertainment from 8:00am at the start of Stage 1. Then line the start and prepare to cheer on the women as they tackle the first stage of the gruelling course."
Once the peloton races out of Hahndorf take a stroll down our beautiful shady, historic and charming Main Street and explore the Hahndorf galleries, shops and eateries.
On Wednesday 22 January the Santos Tour Down Under men will briefly also ride through Hahndorf after an Adelaide Hills start earlier that day at 11am in Woodside.
During this event period, there will be multiple rolling road closures across the Adelaide Hills region, so be sure to check on the Tour Down Under website for more information to plan alternative routes when necessary.

Hong Kong Disneyland Resort and Hong Kong Children's Hospital Team Up to Launch "Dress Well" Project
Young patients at Hong Kong Children's Hospital (HKCH) will experience some new Disney magic during their time at the hospital through the new "Dress Well" project, which brings a series of custom-designed Disney-themed clothing to HKCH for patients to wear during their stay. The Walt Disney Company has donated HK$4.1 million to support this first-of-its-kind project, which was designed through a collaboration between Hong Kong Disneyland Resort (HKDL) and the hospital and launched today at a special ceremony at HKCH.
"Last March, The Walt Disney Company announced its US$100 million global commitment to help reinvent the patient and family experience in children's hospitals around the world. Here in Hong Kong, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort also fully supports the first specialist hospital for children in Hong Kong and its pediatric patients, bringing them happiness and empowerment," said HKDL Resort Managing Director Samuel Lau. "Combining the expertise of both Hong Kong Children's Hospital and Disney, we have created clothing for child patients that embraces practicality and fun elements, encouraging them with Disney's magic and power."
"The new patient clothing is one of HKCH's children-friendly initiatives to enhance the patient journey. The cheerful design, alongside the home-like environment of the hospital, should help reduce anxiety and add some joy to uplift the healing experience of our pediatric patients," said Hospital Authority Chairman Professor John Leong Chi-yan at today's ceremony.
The clothing has been created with pediatric patients' special needs in mind and is intended to be visually appealing, comfortable and functional. The "Dress Well" project spans three categories—regular pajamas, jackets and pajama tops for intravenous therapy—with different patterns and designs for both young children and teenagers. With silhouettes of familiar Disney characters hidden within the colorful, nature-inspired patterns, every item provides young patients with opportunities for treasure-hunting fun. The apparel is made from a soft fabric that features a higher cotton content for a gentle touch and reduced irritation, and side openings on the pajama top provide more body coverage and privacy for patients undergoing intravenous therapy while still facilitating their clinical care.
The Walt Disney Company's commitment to HKCH's "Dress Well" project is part of Disney's Team of Heroes philanthropic initiative and outreach program, which launched in March 2018 to reimagine and improve the children's hospital experience around the globe.

Thread: Experimental nose bowl options?
Well, I've finally started building my Tundra Boss and am trying to determine what nose bowl options exist. I need a bowl with a deep lower half. In the neighborhood of 25" or 27" overall height.
Anyone have some links? I've searched the usual suspects, (aircraft spruce, wag areo, wicks, univair).
What's a Tundra Boss? Standard Cub firewall and cowl other than the height? What motor's going in it?
Carbon Concepts in Wasilla would be a good resource. Selkirk Aviation is another. Composite parts require a mold. Making a mold requires a plug. You may need to get hands on something close and modify it, then use that as the plug to build a mold for the final product.
It's pretty much a scratch built 4 place with lots of mods. I'm using an Continental E-225 with a electrically adjustable prop.
I'm familiar with Carbon Concepts, their stuff looks really nice. I will look into custom built if I can't find something "off the shelf". But I haven't given up on finding something.
Width will be another issue. I bought a prototype nose bowl from HO Aircraft for my Cub project. It's wider than standard and that was what I needed. I don't know of any cowls for big Continentals that use a nose bowl. Maybe somebody with advice will chime in on that. Good luck.
Morphing an orphan nose bowl. Cut to shape, beat to fit, paint to match.
Nice! So what did that nose bowl originally fit?
Supercub, but with a wider angle valve motor. HO Aircraft sold me the prototype nose bowl that they used to get the Lycoming IO-390 engine STC.

Amazing how much adjustment you can hide with bondo, a sander and paint!
Building a mold should not be that hard, bet Randy has a nose bowl laying around that could easily be adjusted... perfection sometimes takes a few mulligans!
You've given me some good ideas to chase.
I'd like to hear and see more about your plane. That's a big project.
I've been collecting parts for years. Now that I'm retired it keeps me off the streets! I say that tongue-in-cheek because I live remote.
Because this is pretty much scratch built I had a lot of "grand ideas". I've figured out which are workable and which need tossed into the trash bin. Now I am working on getting all the bits and pieces to play nice with each other.
I am enjoying the learning curve. Once I get the engine cowling / nose bowl figured out I'm going to start playing around with heat forming kydex. An idea I've shamelessly stole from this forum. .
To be honest, after seeing the level of craftsmanship displayed by members I am very reluctant to post my efforts. They would definitely illustrate the difference between professional and amateur. Much to my embarrassment.

You're too modest. That project has some serious cool factor!
Last edited by stewartb; 02-11-2018 at 09:56 AM.
I wasn't going to add but I've read this a few times.
As stated, laying up a custom nose bowl is the perfect and ideal way, but a big project and exposure to mistakes is high for a first time. I can make a plug for a small part. To make a plug and mold for a big part takes a craftsman to not be grinding and filling the final part.
Just an opinion, but if I had the dedication to build what you are accomplishing, I would modify an existing bowl as Stewart mentioned.
To add size in any direction you can pick the flattest/straightest few inches and cut it in half. Move the sections out to the appropriate size, and then fill in the space to connect to the halves back together.
If you're working with glass or fiber, I'm sure there are examples of this on YouTube. Heck, probably with aluminum too.
Another one. I like this guy's youtube series about plugs and molds.
My nose bowl isn't intended to be the final version. Once I'm through the phase 1 flying and I have proof of concept I'll use my nose bowl as a plug for a carbon fiber final product.
You guys are dangerous, LOL. You have no idea how many times I've started something only to go "wow, that's a good idea" and start over.
Those are good idea's and they will be plan B if I can't find a nose bowl I can make work.


#CoastalRowing: Crews overcame sometimes difficult, windy, conditions at the big ICRF All Ireland Coastal Rowing Championships at Ferrybank in Wexford today. Kerry clubs did particularly well, with Flesk Valley, Cromane, Fossa, Workmen's and Commercial all taking gold medals. The organisers of the event gave special awards to Mary B Teahan and Joe McAllister for their achievements in the organising of the event, given that there was a second Championships also taking place in Cork.
#Coastal Rowing: The inaugural Irish Coastal Rowing Championships will take place this Saturday and Sunday, August 18th and 19th at the National Rowing Centre in Farran Wood, Cork. Clubs from all four provinces are set to compete.
The Championships, hosted by Rushbrooke Rowing Club, will see clubs race in over 30 different race categories, ranging from Under 12 to Masters, with race lengths ranging from 800 to 2,300 metres. Several thousand rowers and spectators are expected to attend the two day Championships.
The long-standing All Ireland Coastal Rowing Championships will also be held this weekend, from Friday to Sunday (August 17th to 19th) in Wexford. There will be an array of races in one-design Celtic boats, Currachs, East coast Skiffs, Wexford cots, Kerry four-oars, Donegal skiffs and Seine boats.
#RNLI - A man who slipped into the water alongside Wexford Quay was rescued by Wexford RNLI after clinging to the quay wall for several hours.
The man, in his late 30s, was spotted by gardaí before 4am on Friday (22 December) and the lifeboat was quickly launched to their report.
Lifeboat volunteer crew member Frank O'Brien entered the water to lift the casualty into the lifeboat, as he was wedged between a trawler and the quay wall.
When on board, the crew administered casualty care and brought the man back to Wexford lifeboat station, where an ambulance then took him to hospital for further treatment.
The man was said to be "extremely grateful" to the gardaí and lifeboat crew, and said it felt like he had been in the water for several hours.
Wexford RNLI urges people to respect the water and be vigilant when walking near the water's edge. If you see someone in difficulty, ring 999/112 and ask for the coastguard.
#MarineWildlife - The skeleton of a blue whale beached on the Wexford coast in the late 19th century has now taken pride of place at London's Natural History Museum.
As previously reported on Afloat.ie, the museum paid the equivalent of €30,000 for the carcass of the giant marine mammal that washed up in Wexford Harbour in 1891.
The specimen was subsequently rendered at the museum's own 'whale pit', which operated till the 1940s, and its skeleton was put into storage for decades.
That's until the museum's directors decided that a new display in its grand entrance hall would help reposition the institution as one that puts first the conservation of today's natural world, according to the Guardian.
In short, that meant saying goodbye to Dippy, the famous diplodocus skeleton that is actually a cast of a dinosaur fossil found in the United States — and welcoming a more local but more importantly awe-inspiring and authentic example of life that exists on this planet today.
Hanging the new attraction was no mean feat, however, as The Telegraph reports how a crucial bolt was sheared off in the middle of hoisting the 4.5 tonne beast in the museum's Hintze Hall.
#RNLI - Two volunteer lifeboat crew with Wexford RNLI have received the charity's Excellence in Volunteering Award in recognition for their hard work and dedication to lifesaving.
Lorraine Galvin and David Maguire were presented with their framed certificates during the Wexford Maritime Festival, the hugely popular event the pair helped set up, over the weekend of 1-2 July.
In a citation from the RNLI's chief executive Paul Boissier, he explained the award was in recognition for David and Lorraine's "vision in founding the Wexford Maritime Festival back in 2012" and their "drive and energy in continuing to manage and run the festival".
Boissier went on to praise them for the building of links with other rescue and blue light organisations and for raising awareness of the work of the RNLI.
Welcoming the award, Wexford RNLI lifeboat operations manager Nick Bowie said: "We are very proud of Lorraine and David at the lifeboat station. They take their lifesaving role in the community very seriously and their enthusiasm is infectious.
The Wexford Maritime Event promotes having fun on the water safely and raises funds for the work of the RNLI. It has become one of the largest annual events held in the South East.
RNLI area lifesaving manager Owen Medland commented: "David and Lorraine have demonstrated the very highest level of volunteering both operationally and with their involvement with the Wexford Maritime Festival since its inception. Their energy, enthusiasm and professionalism is contagious.
Declan Geoghegan, SAR operations manager with the Irish Coast Guard, added: "In the many SAR incidents Lorraine and David have been involved in, they have been known for their dedication and dependability in all aspects. They are professional in all aspects of their work.
#Angling - It was double gold for Ireland's men and women at the World Shore Angling Championships in Wexford this week, as the Irish Examiner reports.
And it's a result that's put the sport of shore angling firmly "back on the map" in Ireland, according to the Irish Federation of Sea Angling's Brian Reidy.
Top prize for the men's team saw them leap up two spots from their bronze-medal finish at last year's event in Portugal's Algarve, their best placed finish since winning in 2010 (they also came third in 2012).
But it was an even more impressive outing by the Irish women's team, who were competing for the first time ever at top level and held on to their early lead for the full week's fishing.
The Belfast Telegraph profiled the team ahead of the competition, noting that it was a family affair: mother and daughter Janet Snoddy and Lisa Gormley cast their lines as part of the six-women squad, while Lisa's father — and Janet's husband — Jim Gormley served as team manager.
#Missing - The search was set to resume this morning for a fisherman missing after going overboard from a three-man fishing vessel off the Wicklow-Wexford border yesterday morning (Wednesday 16 November).
As The Irish Times reports, RNLI lifeboats from Rosslare and Wicklow were tasked along with the Waterford-based Irish Coast Guard helicopter Rescue 117 and later Rescue 116 from Dublin Airport to the incident some 6km east of Kilmichael Point in Co Wexford.
It's understood that the missing man is in his late 40s or eary 50s, according to BreakingNews.ie.
#RNLI - A visiting yacht which ran aground on the way into Wexford Harbour was rescued by Wexford RNLI on Thursday afternoon (7 July) in what was the third callout for the volunteer crew this week.
The previous evening, the lifeboat launched at 8.15pm to reports of a walker on rocks near Wexford Bridge by members of Wexford Marinewatch who were concerned for their safety.
The lifeboat made its way to the wall which immerses in high tide and stood by until the individual was safely back on dry land.
On Tuesday (6 July) the lifeboat launched to reports of a possible sighting in the water, described as a white object that was splashing near Ferrycarrig Hotel. An extensive search of the area was carried out with nothing found.
Speaking after the week's missions, Wexford RNLI volunteer lifeboat press officer Lorraine Galvin said: "All our volunteers are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week and typically launch the lifeboat under 10 minutes of a 999 call.
"With at least two training exercises a week, the volunteers commit a great amount of time to providing rescue cover from Killurin Bridge to Curracloe Beach.
"We would also like to thank the fundraisers, who are all volunteers for their recent Flag Day collection and all those who donate to the RNLI to keep the service going allowing us to continue to saves lives at sea."

Ten reasons why Joseph L. Harris, Emergency Financial Manager, should be immediately terminated (Revised Version)
Further details will be discussed at the November 19, 2012 Benton Harbor City Commission meeting.
10. Inaccurate & deceitful communications: Mr. Harris has repeatedly proclaimed in public meetings, to the media, to elected leaders and staff, and to state officials that the City of Benton Harbor had a "Balanced Budget & Cash Surplus." The 2011 Audit recently revealed that the city actually had a budget deficit of approximately $565,000 dollars under Mr. Harris' leadership in 2011. Meanwhile city contractors and/or vendors are not being paid in a timely fashion. Mr. Harris has either (A) intentionally deceived the citizens and stake holders or (B) his ignorance regarding the true fiscal condition of the city confirms his incompetence.
9. City sued due to non-payment: Mr. Harris negotiated and executed a very poor contract with Benton Township without input or conversation with city executive senior staff, elected leaders, or key community stake holders and/or customers. The contract (A) forfeited in excess of three hundred thousand dollars of receivables due to the City of Benton Harbor from Benton Township while (B) agreeing to make monthly payments to the township that are not fiscally cost prohibitive based upon water revenues. Mr. Harris signed this agreement and accepted a settlement of approximately $300,000 dollars for a debt owed of more than $700,000. He denied the monies were owed, then agreed to a meeting with Benton Township officials to discuss the matter and at that meeting it was disclosed that Mr. Harris had settled the matter for less than fifty cents on a dollar. It was also disclosed that he accepted and deposited a check from Benton Township that he did not remember. All of this occurred while the he failed to increase the water rates in a timely manner as required according to the City's State Bond Agreement. Benton Township is now suing for the unpaid portion of this terribly suspect contract.
8. Gross Fiduciary Negligence: Mr. Harris failed to exercise the City's rights under the terms and conditions of the HUD 105 Business Development Loan program contract to collect the nearly $500,000 dollars in loan defaults accrued by three companies. Mr. Harris failed to take any legal remedy to collect the unpaid loans while agreeing to a settlement to pay the defaulted loan balances back to the federal government 100% plus interest and penalties. As per the HUD contract Mr. Harris could have (A) sued the companies in default, (B) placed liens on the company's property. There were other legal remedies available under Michigan state law that Mr. Harris could have pursued, yet refused to. Consequently because of Mr. Harris' negligence these companies were able to liquidate and sale real property and other assets and keep 100% of the proceeds without repaying a single dollar to the City of Benton Harbor on what is still a pending outstanding obligation. One of the companies sold property to Cornerstone Alliance for an amount sufficient to repay the City the outstanding 105 loan balance in full.
7. Wasteful spending: Mr. Harris has unilaterally decided to squander limited city resources during this fiscal crisis on frivolous and unnecessary items such as (1) I love Benton Harbor souvenir cups and T-Shirts, (2) Ice Rinks, (3) Ice skates, (4) unused vehicles, (5) furniture, (6) remodeling, (7) playground equipment (8) water fountains, (9) excessive raises and salary increases, and much more. All though Mr. Harris is required by law to provide financial reports regularly, City officials have been unable to secure any aging reports that substantiate or confirm the magnitude and/or depth of the wasteful spending and delinquent bill payment. Mr. Harris' refusal to comply with Public Act 4 and provide the types of period and critical financial reports is completely unacceptable and a clear abuse of power.
6. Negligent Management of NSP Grant Funding: Prior to Mr. Harris' arrival the City was the recipient of a NSP grant of nearly $4 million dollars. NSP was created to (A) clean up blighted neighborhoods, (B) stimulate local & minority small business contracting and (C) housing development and (D) create jobs under the HUD Section 3 program. Mr. Harris abdicated, relinquished and/or forfeited the City's moral and contract obligations to Harbor Shores, Cornerstone Alliance and/or Michigan Works. These three entities are amongst the City's wealthiest and most privileged people and/or companies in Benton Harbor and surely were not the type of people or organizations NSP was intended to help. Mr. Harris placed the City grant in a "use it or lose it" situation regarding the NSP funding by failing to administer, implement and obligate the grant funds in a timely manner. Consequently, at the zero hour the decision was made to grant the funds to the wealthy and to complete Harbor Town and the Fire House developments both owned and managed by Corner Stone Alliance. Neither project is expected to produce any meaningful sustainable jobs or any significant affordable housing for the City of Benton Harbor or it's residents.
5. The Closing of 200 Paw Paw (Carl Brown Economic Development Center): It is unconscionable that during the biggest economic boom the City of Benton Harbor has seen in 50 years the city economic development center and incubator is closed. There were more than one dozen small, local, minority businesses prepared to lease 100% of the facility. The city is able to provide Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding to each small business sufficient to cover their annual budgeted rent requirements for the year, thus making the facility operationally and fiscally viable. Therefore, the City had the ability to incubate businesses, create jobs, and sustain the operations of 200 Paw Paw 100% with city CDBG grant funding, yet Mr. Harris chose to close the facility.
4. Failure to collaborate with elected leaders regarding the Community Benefits Package (CBP) grant funding: Not only has Mr. Harris failed to collaborate with the city commission, he has shirked in providing transparency and accountability. The entire process has become politically toxic. Mr. Harris' unilateral attitude has caused embarrassment to Whirlpool Corporation and the City of Benton Harbor.
3. Political liability and antagonism: Mr. Harris is condescending and confrontational in his communication style which has alienated critical elected leaders, corporate leaders, tax payers and other key stake holders in Berrien County. Mr. Harris has fueled a new era in Benton Harbor's fiscal and cultural isolation. The most recent evidence of his alienating and antagonist style is his refusal to participate in the Berrien County CEO monthly meetings. This forum is not only a critical exchange of ideas and/or resources, it is an opportunity to mend the social fiber of local municipal governments. Mr. Harris has caused the relationships with other municipal leaders and elected officials in Berrien County to become strained, divisive, and counterproductive.
2. Fiscal Failures: Mr. Harris has had a multitude of fiscal failures since his arrival to Benton Harbor. The most recent and perhaps most significant was his failure to post the city tax mileages on the November 2011 ballot for resident vote and approval. This error of omission will likely create an opportunity lost for the City of Benton Harbor in excess of a million dollars.
Mr. Harris is now attempting to illegally impose taxes on the resident of Benton Harbor because of his gross negligence.
Does an Emergency Manager have the authority to impose taxes?
Ans: No. Neither an Emergency Financial Manager, nor the Local Emergency Financial Assistance Loan Board, have the power to impose taxes, over and above those already authorized, without approval at an election of a majority of qualified electors voting on the question.
The EFM does not have the authority to impose a Special Assessment. This is a classic case of Taxation without representation. The people already voted NO to the mileage renewal. This is another colossal mistake being executed as a result of horrific management.
1. Failure to prepare and/or train local elected leaders to competently manage Benton Harbor:
The number one reason Mr. Harris is clearly not the professional for the Emergency Financial Manager position is based upon his well-publicized and absolute refusal to work with the City's elected officials. How do you profess your desire to put the city back on solid fiscal ground and simultaneously refuse to work with the people tasked with sustaining the operations after your departure? Mr. Harris has resorted to unprofessional insulting remarks to elected leaders and staff. Engaging, training and supporting local elected leadership should be a mandatory responsibility of an EFM. Bringing the local leadership to competency and consensus is on the City's critical path to recovery.
Since Mr. Harris arrived in Benton Harbor the city operating deficit, list of unpaid payable and pension(s) plan deficits have increased significantly. Elected leaders, citizens, and stake holders are all getting less information than they ever have received from the city finance department. The information that has been received has proven to be largely false and/or inaccurate.
Several lawsuits and unpaid vendors have now surfaced. The staff morale is at an all-time low. Staff competency and training is nearly non-existent. Relationships with neighboring municipalities and corporate leaders have been severely strained. Public procurements and new hires processes in city government under Mr. Harris' leadership have consistently violated state and federal regulation. Mr. Harris has manipulated public procurements and hiring by lowering standards and qualifications to justify his personal preferences and selections. Many qualified applicants and candidates for Senior Executive Staff positions have been ignored and/or rejected due to Mr. Harris' personal preferences.
If the officials in Lansing truly have Benton Harbor's best interests at heart, they must remove Joe Harris immediately for negligence, false statements, federal & state procurement violations, increasing the budget deficit, failure to act on correcting the pension deficits, and default in duty.
Benton Harbor should return to the power of democratic self-rule, just as "free" people the world over experience government. Benton Harbor has had enough of a governor-imposed, grossly incompetent dictator.
Respectively submitted,
Marcus Muhammad
Commissioner-at-Large

Montage "October": Dialectic of the Shot
While the conventional film directs the emotions, this suggests an opportunity to encourage and direct the whole thought process, as well.
TEN YEARS AFTER THE EVENT, Alexandrov, Eisenstein's colleague and codirector, wrote about their one audience with Joseph Stalin in the tones of childlike reverence and obedience that reveal the loss of innocence rather than its opposite. "The idea," his account began, "that we, young Soviet film-makers, were to see the great leader of the people, to talk with him personally, filled us with excitement and joy." And it ended with, "We were sincerely sorry that the talk with Cde Stalin had not taken place before we made our film. It would have been a very different film. . . ."1
The interview had been held in the spring of 1929, in the interval between the completion and the official release of The General Line, Eisenstein's fourth film. Stalin

A LOOK BACK AT THE LA TECH SERIES
Sacramento State captured the series against Louisiana Tech by winning the final two games. The series began with a disappointing 5-4 loss to the Bulldogs on Friday. La Tech scored four runs in the fourth inning to take a 4-2 lead.
Sacramento State appeared set to tie the game in the sixth inning but a base running blunder erased the run and resulted in a double play.
On Saturday, Brennan Leitao and Phil Maton were locked in a pitchers duel which went in favor of the Hornets, 1-0. Sacramento State scored the game's only run without a hit in the third inning. A dropped popup and hit-by-pitch put runners on first and second and a would-be double play was thrown away allowing the lead runner to score.
Maton limited the Hornets to just two hits during the game while Leitao surrendered five hits and two walks with five strikeouts. Sutter McLoughlin came on for a two-inning save and struck out three.
Sacramento State was victorious, 4-1, on Sunday. Andrew Ayers went 3-for-4 with a home run and three Hornet pitchers combined to strike out 12 batters and allow just three hits.
A LOOK BACK AT THE NEVADA GAME
A grand slam from Andrew Ayers capped a five run third inning and helped the Hornets to a 7-6 win over Nevada on Tuesday at Peccole Park.
Sacramento State trailed 3-2 entering the third inning before Rhys Hoskins provided a one-out single. Nathan Lukes then walked and Chris Lewis singled to right field to load the bases. Following a pitching change and an ejection of Nevada head coach Gary Powers, Justin Higley drew a bases-loaded walk to tie the score. Ayers then hit an 0-1 pitch over the left-center field fence to empty the bases and score the team's final runs of the game.
Brandon Creel was credited with the victory out of the bullpen and McLoughlin earned his 13th save of the season.
Sacramento State will play at UC Davis on Tuesday before hosting San Jose State over the weekend.
SCOUTING THE REDHAWKS
Seattle is coming off a midweek split with No. 11 Oregon. The Redhawks lost on Tuesday, 12-7, before winning, 3-2, on Wednesday.
Nick Latta is one of three starters hitting above .300 and leads the team with a .315 average and .489 slugging percentage. Seattle has 27 home runs as a team with Sean Narby leading the way with five.
Andrew Olson is the team's top starter with a 5-4 mark and 3.98 ERA. The bullpen is anchored by Eric Yardley who ranks second in the WAC with 10 saves.
Donny Harrel is in his fifth year as the head coach at Seattle.
SOTO, McLOUGHLIN NAMED WAC POWS
Junior Will Soto and freshman Sutter McLoughlin were named the Western Athletic Conference Hitter and Pitcher of the Week, respectively.
Soto helped the Hornets to a 4-1 record during the week after hitting .412 with a double, triple and home run. He slugged .765 and hit safely in each game.
McLoughlin picked up three saves and broke Sacramento State's single season record in the process. The Sacramento native struck out eight of the 13 batters he faced during the week, including all three in the ninth inning of Sunday's game.
McLoughlin earned his 13th save of the year on Tuesday at Nevada. That total ties him for sixth in Div. I and is the highest total by a freshman this season.
Not only has McLoughlin already set the Hornet single season mark, he is currently third on the career list trailing only Mike Frame (26, 1987-89) and Michael Penbera (16, 1999-2001).
Earlier this year, McLoughlin was named to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Stopper of the Year Watch List.
APRIL POWERS
Part of Sacramento State 13-5 record in the month of April was the team's sudden power outburst. The Hornets hit 14 home runs during the month and had a slugging percentage of .422.
The primary long ball hitter was left fielder Justin Higley who hit seven of his team season high 10 home runs during the month. Higley slugged .642 in April and also tied the career record with his ninth triple.
Sophomore Brennan Leitao will get his first Friday night start this season when he faces Seattle. Leitao has earned the bump in the rotation after a stretch where he has won five of his last six starts, including four in a row. During his last four games, Leitao has 1.30 ERA and a WHIP of 0.98 in 27.2 innings.
On the year, Leitao is 6-2 with a 2.72 ERA. He has been a part of three of the team's eight shutouts and his holding the opposition to a .207 average.
WITHIN REACH
Nathan Lukes and Chris Lewis are both now closing in on the Sacramento State single season record for hits by a freshman. Current Triple-A outfielder and former first round draft pick Tim Wheeler had 62 hits as a freshman in 2007. Lewis enters the weekend with 56 hits and Lukes is right behind with 55.
The pair rank first and second on the team in batting average this season. Lewis is hitting .333 while Lukes has a .313 average. In WAC play, the two are reversed with Lukes owning a team-high .362 average and Lewis second at .358.

The Happy Prince 15 PS
Please note: This was screened in June 2018
Rupert Everett, Colin Firth, Emily Watson
105 mins, Subtitled, 2018, Germany | Belgium | UK | Italy
Rupert Everett - who writes, directs and stars in this magnificent drama - was born to play Oscar Wilde, and this, Everett's "11th-hour masterpiece" (The Times) focuses on Wilde's final years following his notorious trial and imprisonment for "gross indecency".
Once one of the most famous men in England, the great man of letters is now living in a kind of exile around Europe (from Normandy to Naples to Paris) after being released following his convinction for his indiscreet affair with Lord Alfred "Bosie" Douglas. Lying on his death bed, his eventful life comes flooding back via expertly interspersed flashbacks featuring his glory days and the beginning of his downfall. Now, he must draw upon the last of his reserves to face the end of his life - and the wreckage of his public self - with immense courage...
A tour de force achievement that has been hugely praised by critics across the board, this is clearly a passion project for Everett, who directs a great supporting cast (including Emily Watson and Colin Firth) to create this tender and profoundly moving piece of cinema.
The 18:20 screening on Thu 28 June will include a Q&A with director Rupert Everett.
