I can't make a tarte without thinking of this. (Here it is in English as well.) There's no reason to love these little videos, but I find myself strangely drawn in by them. And yes, I can feel myself losing whatever minimal credibility I might have as I'm typing this. What was I cooking as I daydreamed of my two egg-shaped heroes and the outlandish cast of characters they interact with? Belgian Leek Tarte with Aged Goat Cheese.
As usual, I'm a complete sucker for the writing and recipes of one Molly Wizenberg (the lady behind the Orangette blog). In this month's Bon Appetit, she tells us how to make Leek Confit (which I could have happily eaten all by itself, straight from the pot - seriously, if you don't have the patience to make a tarte, at least give the confit a try). The leeks at the grocery store are gorgeous right now, and Texas finally appears to have caught on to the notion that bigger is not always better because the leeks I've purchased recently have been relatively thin and blissfully tender.
After the tarte was baked and allowed to cool a bit, we dug in. It was incredible. The leeks, already meltingly rich and flavorful were exquisite with the creamy goat cheese and unobtrusive egg. The relative mildness of the filling allowed the buttery crust to figure prominently in our enjoyment. And even better - it reheated pretty darned well (on a sheet pan, in the oven).
Seriously, I know this is the second time I'm writing this in a single post, but if you love leeks, definitely make the leek confit. It would be delicious just spread on some buttered toast.
Another note on leeks - especially if you've never dealt with them before - they can be sort of difficult to clean. Because of their structure and the way they grow, leeks are often really dirty and gritty, and you wouldn't want that messing up your wonderful food! Here's my approach. I cut the tough dark green part off (the part I'm not going to eat anyway). Then I split the remainder down the middle lengthwise, taking care not to slice through the root end. Next, with the root end facing down, I run water lightly all through the newly split leek, working the dirt out with my fingers as necessary. Once you feel comfortable that they're clean, turn them upside down (root end up) and gently smoosh the water out of the leek (it should hold together fairly well if you've left the root end intact). From there you can slice off the root and braise them or chop them up and use them as you see fit.

This past week, we signed the papers to build a house in the area. The projection is that, after all the finalizing of floor plans and whatnot, it'll be finished sometime late September or early October. So our first home-purchase experience is a house that has yet to exist.
This feels strange to me for a couple reasons. First, of course, it's my first home purchase. I would think that such a huge fiscal step would feel strange, exhilarating, anxious, regardless. In fact, I'm still not sure that it's hit me yet.
Second, the bulk of my home-dwelling experience is a combination of parsonages and places maintained by institutions of higher education. A continually-running toilet or a broken air conditioner has just always been taken care of. It won't be that easy any more. I know my way around a toolbox well enough, but there's only so much that I can do when something like that breaks down.
Finally, due to the terms of President Obama's incentives for first-time homebuyers, we'll be living in this house for at least three years. I've never lived in one area for longer than 5 1/2 years. What's that feel like, I wonder? Well, now I guess I'll know.
And we'll be in a neighborhood, as opposed to the rural isolation we're experiencing now. We don't have neighbors, or sidewalks, no trick-or-treaters at Halloween, and the local road is a busy county road where cars zoom by at 50 miles an hour. I have a stake in this on behalf of Coffeeson. Where we are right now, he can't walk to friends' houses, he could easily get hurt if a ball rolls into the street, we'll have to truck him someplace else for Halloween...I don't want that for him. Neither does Coffeewife.
It took some convincing for me to agree to build. When we toured potential neighborhoods for lots, all I saw was a couple scattered houses that maybe were next to each other among a lot of dirt, straw, and weeds. I know that the idea was to envision what the place would look like in a few years, but in the short term it wouldn't be that much different than where we are now. And Coffeewife and I both were surprised at how incredibly angry I got about that...I think there's some subconscious thing happening there that even I don't understand. But the neighborhood that we'll be living in is already pretty well-developed already.
And get this: apparently a couple of LeBron James' friends live there and he swings through every so often. So how about that?
There are also certain implications for my church, and maybe I'll get into those some other time.
So we're looking forward to this transition. It'll be a fun experience the next few months to watch the house gradually emerge. And, of course, it'll be wonderful to move in and begin making our house a home as well.

[Update] Why lead one when you can lead a swarm? Atmospheric Hero of Many coming to iOS and Android next month
Updated with pricing and Android release information
By Matthew Diener
Hero of Many
Update: We've been told by the developers that the game will cost $3.99, but there will be a "significant launch sale". Further, Hero of Many will not see an iPhone release but will work on Android tablets and phones. The original story follows.
Have you ever tried telling a story without words?
If so, you've probably relied on raw emotion and frantic gesturing to convey the highlights of your story - and the upcoming Hero of Many follows much the same lead.
Mixing in shades of Spirits and World of Goo, this atmospheric indie action puzzler has you lead a swarm of water-beings in a battle for their freedom.
The action in Hero of Many unfolds deep under the water's surface and has players explore the depths of 26 "choreographed" levels as they search for their missing water-being friends.
Learning how to lead the group of water-beings is something players pick up on their own, and there looks to be a heavy emphasis on the trial-and-error approach.
Once you get the hang of all of this, Hero of Many then throws evil monsters and boss fights at you - because it wouldn't be much of a battle for freedom without a few boss fights.
Hero of Many is expected out in early June 2013 for iPad (2 or greater) and Android tablets. We have no word on pricing yet, but we'll update this story when we hear back from the developers.

A Who's Who of Russians at the Trump Tower meeting
by Michael Barron
Yesterday, it was widely reported that Donald Trump knew more than he had at first let on about a 2016 meeting at Trump Tower. As we explained last week, the meeting, which included Donald Trump, Jr., Paul Manafort, Jared Kushner, and a "a group of Russians," was intended to provide Trump's presidential campaign with compromising info about Hillary Clinton, in exchange, it appears, for a future Trump administration's repeal of the Magnitsky Act, a slate of sanctions against Russia's kleptocratic oligarchy.
While the meeting has become infamous, the Russians who participated in it remain little known. It's important to know who these people are. From the pages of Seth Hettena's Trump / Russia: A Definitive History, here's who's who:
Natalia Veselnitskaya — A Russian lawyer, with Kremlin ties, employed by Denis Katsyv — one of the oligarchs targeted by the Magnitsky Act. Veselnitskaya assembled and led the team that met with Trump campaign officials. After the ill-fated meeting, Veselnitskaya worked with Glenn Simpson, founder of the information services firm Fusion GPS, to build a case for Katsyv's release from sanctions. Simpson would later work with Christopher Steele on his infamous dossier.
Rinat Akhmetshin — A former KGB agent, and now a naturalized American citizen, who pays the bills by lobbying for Russian business interests in the US. Akhmetshin testified under oath about his role at the meeting before a Congressional hearing. Though not indicted for any crimes, he remains a likely person of interest in Robert Mueller's investigation.
Irakly "Ike" Kaveladze — A California-based real estate agent. Kaveladze was revealed to have business ties to Aras Agalorov, the real estate magnate who financed Trump's staging of the Miss Universe pageant in Moscow. Agalorov's son, Emin, was a friend of Don, Jr.'s, and was instrumental in piquing his interest scheduling the meeting.
Anatoli Samochornov — Veselnitskaya's interlocutor. It's speculated that the main reason for his presence at the meeting was his being, as Katie Zavaldski put it at the Daily Beast, "a top-notch translator" with "a long track record of interpreting for governmental agencies and dignitaries, including Russia's leading human rights activist and the U.S. State Department." If anyone gets a book deal out of this, it really ought to be Samochornov.

Since Carla and I were both out of town for our birthdays we decided to have a little BBQ/ marshmallow roast to celebrate after the fact. It was another beautiful spring night and we were able to be outside – yay!
And her other adorable little monkey Georgie. Georige LOVES when Strider comes to visit and calls me Amanda Harris as in "Is Amanda Harris coming over today? Amanda Harris what are you doing?" It is pretty stinking cute.

By Markos Papadatos Nov 12, 2019 in Music
Acclaimed DJ and electronic producer Dragan Roganović, better known as Dirty South, chatted with Digital Journal about his new single "All I Need," and he revealed his dream collaboration choices.
On his new single "All I Need," he said, "Last year, I did two albums and one of them was all instrumental, and recently I released a four-track EP which was also instrumental, so I felt like I wanted to do a vocal record and 'All I Need' felt right."
He recently wrapped up his "Little Devious" tour and went straight to work in the studio upon his return. "It's very natural to me to go on tour, get inspired DJing and then go back to the studio for a couple of months to make new music. It's a really nice balance that I am finding these days," he said.
On being an electronic artist in this digital age, he said, "It's great, to be honest. We have so many tools available to us. An infinite amount of inspiration just literally floating around us. It's the best time to be making music. When I first started, there was no YouTube or places where you can learn anything of interest. These days, I can learn anything I would like, from making music to being a tennis player."
Regarding his use of technology in his daily routine as a producer, he said, "I try to keep up with the latest plugins and all the updated software that is of interest to me. There are always new tools that can provide inspiration so if I see something I would buy it and instantly try to make a song with that tool. I also love Dropbox."
"I upload my latest versions of songs I made to dropbox, and then I would go to the car and check the mixdowns from the dropbox folder to see if anything sounds problematic. Back in the days, you would have to burn CDs. So the process is much faster now and environment-friendly," he said.
For young and aspiring DJs and producers, he said, "My main advice is to work super hard and believe in your craft even if others around you don't believe. The world is a big place, and there is enough room for everyone who is talented and hard-working."
On his dream collaboration choices, he said, "I am a big Anthony Kiedis fan. Also, I love Tracey Thorn and Bon Iver. In no particular order, any of those would be pretty sweet to collaborate with."
Regarding his plans for the future, he said, "I am back in the studio now for a couple of months working on new music and then I'm going on a tour in January, February and March to support the new track 'All I Need'."
For his fans, he concluded, "Well, first of all, thank you all for listening to me all these years and I really hope you enjoy the new track."

"Manifesto of the Communist Party" by Karl Heinrich Marx and Friedrich Engels is a book where, for the first time, the aims, tasks and methods of fight of the emerging communist organisations and parties of the nineteenth century were declared and explained. It is the greatest philosophic and political treatise that is important in some way even nowadays. According to experts, Manifesto is a powerful work that still can be used as a good method to mobilize people. In addition, the work of Marx and Engels will not leave anyone indifferent. Historians noted that this book had been ahead of time. Manifesto definitely opened the eyes and minds of workers and socialists all over the world.

I am a commie bastard...
When it comes to my immediate family.
Expand that reach to include my close friends and I become a hardcore Socialist.
I want all my friends and family to do well, eat well, and live extraordinary fucking life.
Now include people outside of my community... and I become a democratic bastard somewhat.
My political views are based on scale. If I don't know you, I don't fuck with you, but I want to get to know you, so we can fuck with each other in a positive environment pushing our communities to grow and expand in terms of livelihood, love, health, and wealth.
But, at scale, communism is fucking terrible. It doesn't work. We have hundreds of years of data of this ideology being completely failed. Either way, it's still interesting to listen to the thought process behind it.
I love you, and I hope the person reading this becomes the one to set us free from the Matrix.
Pull me out, and pull out. We don't need more people, we need more lovers of independent creative thinking. -the6paths.com
Alexander Goodman
Good overview of the philosophy and nothing more.
To understand the basics/fundamentals of Marxism it provides a good overview and the performance was very clear.
However the ideas of the ideology are at best, baseless assertions and counterfactual drivel that for reasons beyond my understanding people (especially academics) take seriously.
It should be read for two reasons: 1. An.understanding of marxism as to fight it, 2. As a drinking game for when Marx says something stupid, counterfactual or just plane wrong.
Along with The Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection, Principia Mathematica and General Relativity this is one of the most important works ever written. Only socialism can save the planet and mankind from the destructive forces of greed and capitalism.
Sylvia v.
was this written by a child?
I know that the communist manifesto is well over 150 years old, but even then you cant just write off criticism because 'theyre just stupid', 'theyre just acting in the interest of the bourgeoisie'. While I understand where this is coming from and Im aware of the hard and terrible life Marx has lead, the whole work seems to be the rattling of a bitter man who blames all societies shortcomings on the bourgeoisie and states, without evidence, that all problems magically go away when the workers seize power. Mindbogling that well over a 100 million people died because of these childish ramblings. Good narrating though.

ThinkBook Plus Gen 2 packs in an even larger E-ink display on its cover
The other ThinkBooks have also been revamped for 2021
by Vikka Abat January 12, 2021, 12:00 pm
ThinkBook Plus Gen 2 i
Announced at this year's CES are the new ThinkBook Plus Gen 2 i, ThinkBook 13x, ThinkBook 14p Gen 2, and ThinkBook 16p Gen 2. The second-generation ThinkBook Plus is proud to offer a number of improvements based on real customer experience. To that effect, the dual-display laptop now offers a redesigned E-ink display that offers a 48% screen-to-body ratio with 12 inches of screen real estate compared to the 10 inches of its predecessor.
Users will be able to view a wealth of valuable information on the device's top E-ink cover including emails, reminders, calendar invites, and more. It can also be used to work on select tasks such as reviewing and annotating presentations, editing word documents, or taking notes during meetings. All without having to open the PC.
The device boasts of an overall thinner and lighter profile, measuring just 13.9mm thin and weighing 1.3kg light. The 13-inch main IPS monitor's resolution has also been increased to 2560×1600 and now offers a 90% screen-to-body ratio.
The unique laptop is powered by 11th Gen Intel Core processors and supports up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of Gen 4 SSD storage.
Lenovo says the ThinkBook Plus Gen 2 i can run for up to 24 hours when solely using the E-ink screen and up to 15 hours when using the main display. An optional charging mat accessory can also be used to wirelessly charge the device.

TEN PLACES YOU WOULDN'T EXPECT TO FIND A SEVERED HEAD
Look behind you! Return to Oz.
Salome and John the Baptist, Perseus and the Medusa, Isabella and her Pot of Basil… Severed heads have always been with us in classical art, literature and opera, but for a long time the cinema fought shy of depicting the ultimate bodily violation – Nazimova's Salome didn't even show the post-decapitation Baptist, though unattached heads could occasionally be glimpsed in early versions of Dante's Inferno or Ben-Hur. But those were the decadent days of the uninhibited silent epic. Hollywood quickly pulled itself together and kept its heads firmly glued to its actors' necks. When I was growing up, the idea that I might go to the cinema and see a severed head was unthinkable.
And then, in the early 1970s, one of the last great taboos – the unspoken rule that explicit beheadings were off limits – began to crumble. At first it was a slow trickle – a head continued to count even after it had been chopped off in Herzog's Aguirre: Wrath of God, while David Warner's close encounter with a sheet of glass in The Omen was the first graphic decapitation I'd seen in a major Hollywood release. I was suitably shocked. But thrilled. And only a little disappointed that one of the most notorious severed heads of the 1970s, in The Godfather, was not that of a human but a horse.
But from then on, decapitated heads started popping up all over the place: in fridges (Macabre, Friday the 13th Part 2), in toilets (The House on Sorority Row, Curtains), in children's films (Return to Oz). In 1999, Tim Burton depicted no less than seventeen decapitations in Sleepy Hollow (eighteen if you count a witch sawing the head off a bat), while in the same year the blockbuster flop Wild Wild West not only opened with a pre-credits decapitation, but later brought back the severed head for use as a slide projector. Relaxed censorship, improved special effects and increasing gore tolerance of film-makers and their audiences have nowadays made severed heads almost commonplace. Let's face it, they don't carry the frisson that they used to.
But we are not concerned here with the films of Tim Burton, with his mile-wide macabre streak, nor of horror specialists such as Dario Argento or George Romero or Sam Raimi, or in films detailing the exploits of serial-killers such as Freddy Krueger or Jason Voorhees or Michael Myers. After all, you'd be entitled to be disappointed if these guys didn't rip a few heads off every once in a while. What we're concerned with here are the severed heads that are all the more shocking for popping up where they're least expected…
10 In a Fishtank – THE SILENT PARTNER (1978) directed by Daryl Duke.
It's not so much the severed head per se that's shocking in this underrated little Canadian thriller with a smart screenplay by Curtis Hanson – the severed-head-in-the-fishtank is a popular slasher convention that also crops up in, for example, He Knows You're Alone and Eyes of a Stranger. It's the identity of the actor playing the psychopath who leaves it there which will make your jaw drop. Even by today's standards, this is an extraordinarily vicious and terrifying sadist, as mild-mannered bank clerk Elliott Gould finds out to his cost. Put it this way: The Sound of Music will never seem the same again.
9 In a box delivered by an express parcel service – SEVEN (1995) directed by David Fincher.
'What's in the box? What's in the fucking bohhhx?' whines Brad Pitt. One of the best touches in this twisted serial killer thriller is the way that Fincher doesn't actually show the severed head so much as suggest it, which, after a filmful of in-your-face atrocity, only makes it all the more disturbing. But canny, because however realistic the severed head might have been, I for one would have been unable to suppress a chuckle as it was revealed. For more head-in-box fun, see the Coen brothers' Barton Fink.
8 Scuttling across the floor – THE THING (1982) directed by John Carpenter.
Admittedly, it's not so surprising to find a severed head in a science-fiction movie directed by John Carpenter. But in terms of the sort of ickily baroque special effects, this one takes the biscuit: the head drags itself free from the neck, hauls itself across the floor by wrapping its tongue around the furniture and then, as a pièce de resistance, sprouts spider-legs and scuttles towards the door. One of the onlookers expresses what we've all been thinking: 'You gotta be fucking kidding.'
7 In Piccadilly Circus – AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON (1981) directed by John Landis.
If you were ever in any doubt that Landis' horror-comedy is as much horror as it is comedy, the climax will set you straight, with a vengeance. The werewolf bursts out of a Piccadilly Circus porn cinema, bites the head off a policeman and proceeds to cause non-comic multi-vehicle carnage in the heart of London. The head, meanwhile, bounces off the bonnet of a car.
6 In bed with Joan Hickson – THEATRE OF BLOOD (1973) directed by Douglas Hickox.
The future Miss Marple doesn't even wake up as her husband (played by Arthur Lowe from Dad's Army, no less) gets his head sawn off by Vincent Price, dressed as a surgeon and paying hammy homage to the decapitation of Cloten in Shakespeare's Cymbeline. Lowe's head later turns up on Ian Hendry's milk bottle – another place you wouldn't expect to find it – though we never do find out how it gets there, a cloudy plot point I fretted over endlessly when the film came out.
5 On a dog's body – MARS ATTACKS! (1996) directed by Tim Burton.
Heads are forever ending up on other people's shoulders: The Thing with Two Heads, The Incredible Two-Headed Transplant, Flesh for Frankenstein (in 3-D!) and so on. But in Mars Attacks! it's Sarah Jessica Parker's head! On a chihuahua's body! This is maybe not as horrible as the homeless guy who ends up merged with his dog in the 1978 Invasion of the Body Snatchers remake, but it's just as grotesque, and a lot funnier. And oddly enough, no-one ever queries the discrepancy in scale. Though since the Martians use a shrinking ray on Rod Steiger, getting SJP's head similarly reduced shouldn't pose much of a problem.
4 In someone's lap – RE-ANIMATOR (1985) directed by Stuart Gordon.
There are more severed heads in crotches than you might think. Frederic Forrest in Martin Sheen's lap in Apocalypse Now, for example, or Vincent Perez in Isabelle Adjani's in La reine Margot. But it's the overtly sexual ones we're talking about here: the French slasher movie Haute tension (aka Switchblade Romance) spins a nasty visual gag out of it, but the classic example, the one that goes all the way and then some, is Re-animator. The heroine is strapped naked to an operating table and the severed head of Dr Hill (David Gale) puts its tongue in her ear, slobbers over her breasts and is just preparing to give head, literally, before it's rudely interrupted. If you've only ever watched the British version, by the way, you won't have seen any of this because it was cut by the BBFC.
3 In a film starring Shirley MacLaine – THE POSSESSION OF JOEL DELANEY (1971) directed by Waris Hussein.
Yes, it's true. Miss Kook plays a wealthy New Yorker whose brother is possessed by the spirit of a Puerto Rican serial killer with a penchant for decapitation in this psychothriller with an unpleasant children-in-jeopardy ending. Psycho-bro chops his girlfriend's head off and leaves it hanging by the hair from a large houseplant, but the best bit is when Shirl flees to her isolated beach house (as you do) where she finds her best friend's severed head sitting on top of her fridge.
2 In a film by Eric Rohmer – L'ANGLAISE ET LE DUC (2001) directed by Eric Rohmer.
Of all the film directors in the world, Eric Rohmer – auteur of tasteful films full of droopy young French people who talk a lot – is probably the last in whose oeuvre you would expect to find a severed head. And yet here it is, on a pike. Admittedly the entire film is something of a change of pace for the veteran film-maker; a heavily stylised period piece set during the French Revolution and, by Rohmer standards, action-packed. The head is that of that well-known victim of the Revolution – the Princesse de Lamballe, who was butchered by a mob and whose pubic hair was rumoured to have been worn afterwards by one of her murderers, as a moustache. Needless to say, Rohmer hasn't included this last detail in the film. There are limits.
1 In the title – BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA (1974) directed by Sam Peckinpah.
And not just in the title, but also in the passenger seat of a car, in a picnic hamper belonging to Warren Oates' girlfriend, and cooling off under a motel shower. Seldom has a severed head played such a central role in a movie, and yet we never see the face: just a coil of hair poking out of a dirty cheesecloth bag surrounded by flies. If, as is often proposed, the severed head is a castration symbol, then maybe one could look on Peckinpah's Gothic Mex-western as a gesture of atonement for the shoddy treatment meted out to the female characters in his films. On the other hand, Bring Me the Head features one of Peckinpah's strongest, most sympathetic female characters, even if she is a prostitute with a typically Peckinpah ambiguous attitude towards rape. (Hey, it's not as bad as all that – in fact, some girls even like it.) It all ends in tears, of course, and Oates saying to the bad guy, "Sixteen people are dead because of you, and one was a damn good friend of mine."
For more about severed heads, here's an excellent piece on Movie Morlocks by Richard Harland Smith, who mentions many of the films I left out.
Ten Places You Wouldn't Expect to Find a Severed Head originally appeared in Ten Bad Dates with De Niro, A Book of Alternative Movie Lists (Faber and Faber, 2007) edited by Richard T Kelly. Please click on the image below for more information from amazon.co.uk and amazon.com.

I immediately added that book to my ehm… 'to buy' book list!
This subject made me think of two films: 'Khartoum', which I saw as a kid. Can't remember ANYTHING from it – apart from the severed head on a pole at the end… And of course 'Apocalypse Now'. Wasn't there a rumour they uses real corpses as props?

Kalamazoo seeks public input on expanding medical marijuana dispensaries
By Dustin Dwyer • Jul 17, 2017
Voters approved the use of medical marijuana in 2008.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Kalamazoo is the latest Michigan city to look to expand medical marijuana offerings.
The city will have two public meetings next week to discuss proposed ordinance changes that would allow commercial medical marijuana shops in some parts of town. The changes are allowed under a set of state laws passed last year.
Clyde Robinson is the city attorney.
"None of this has been adopted yet by the city commission," he says. "So we're looking for input into what we're going to be recommending to the city commission."
The proposed language of the ordinances hasn't been posted yet. But Robinson says it will be up on the city's website before next week. Broadly, the ordinances would define which zones of town medical marijuana shops would be allowed, regulate those shops and regulate registered caregivers in the city.
Robinson says the changes could also lead to more revenue for Kalamazoo through state taxes that will be shared back to local cities that allow dispensaries.
The public meetings for the proposed ordinances are scheduled for 6 p.m. on Wednesday, July 26 and 2 p.m. Thursday, July 27th in Kalamazoo city hall.
Kalamazoo County to issue local ID cards starting next year
By Dustin Dwyer • Jul 6, 2017
Kalamazoo County plans to issue its own local ID cards starting next year. County commissioners narrowly approved the plan Wednesday.
The county estimates 27,000 residents currently don't have photo IDs. Many business and community leaders back the plan to create new local ID cards for county residents. But others opposed the plan because the cards could be available to some undocumented immigrants.
County Commissioner John Gisler was one of those opposed. He says he doesn't agree with current immigration law.


Salmon Arm Savings & Credit Union's uptown branch was recently awarded 'Best Retail' in the sixth annual Southern Interior Construction Association Commercial Building Awards. This awards program highlights the best commercial and industrial properties built between Jan. 1, 2013 and July 31, 2014 in the Thompson, Okanagan and Kootenay regions. Congratulations to Salmon Arm Savings & Credit Union!
The predominant use of wood was instrumental in this project. In addition to offsetting the building's carbon footprint, the use of wood and wood systems allowed the project to use a very local labour pool of carpenters, trades and skill that contributed directly to the local manufacturing, supply chains and business of the interior of BC economy. Earlier this year, RATIO was awarded two 2014 BC Wood Design Awards in for this project: the Commercial Wood Design award; and RATIO principal Mike Mammone was honoured with the Architect Award.
SASCU CEO Michael Wagner says its members and staff are very proud of the new branch. "It's a beautiful building that we believe sets a new benchmark for future development in the Shuswap," he said in a statement.
See more about the Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union project here.
About the Awards: Commercial and industrial properties from every corner of the Thompson, Okanagan and Kootenay regions were represented as finalists in the Sixth Annual Southern Interior Construction Association Commercial Building Awards held October 23 in Kelowna.

Culture Currents 'We Charge Genocide'
'We Charge Genocide'
by Mike Kuhlenbeck
"The responsibility of being the first in history to charge the government of the United States of America with the crime of genocide is not one the petitioners take lightly," according to the primary document in the new edition of the book "We Charge Genocide," published by New York City-based International Publishers.
Paul Robeson presents "We Charge Genocide," a book-length petition by William Patterson, to the UN Secretariat in New York on Dec. 17, 1951.
Released in February, the book's title comes from the petition "We Charge Genocide: The Crime of the U.S. Government against the Negro People." This scathing report, authored chiefly by attorney William Lorenzo Patterson, was presented to the fifth session of the United Nations General Assembly at the Palais Chaillot in Paris on behalf of the Civil Rights Congress in 1951.
The petition was also presented to the office of the U.N. General Secretary in New York City by a delegation led by artist and activist Paul Robeson. Notable signatories of this landmark case included Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois, Harry Haywood, Claudia Jones and Paul Robeson Jr., just to name a few.
The Civil Rights Congress (CRC) was founded in the spring of 1946 with a mission "To strive constantly to safeguard and extend all democratic rights, especially the rights of labor, and of racial, political, religious and national minorities. To combat discrimination against these groups; to defend and aid victims of the fight for these groups; to fight against domestic fascism and all its forms – Jimcrow, anti-Semitism, red-baiting, discrimination against the foreign-born."
"Out of the inhuman black ghettos of American cities, out of the cotton plantations of the South, comes this record of mass slayings on the basis of race, of lives deliberately warped and distorted by the willful creation of conditions making for premature death, poverty and disease. It is a record that calls aloud for condemnation, for an end to these terrible injustices that constitute a daily and ever-increasing violation of the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide." – from "We Charge Genocide"
Based on the U.N. charter's definition, the CRC (1946-1956) drew up this legal presentation "on behalf of the Negro people in the interest of peace and democracy." They argued that the U.S. government was "deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its destruction in whole or in part." In essence, this document was to prove that 15 million African-Americans were subject to the barbarities of Jim Crow and his willing accomplice, Uncle Sam.
The word "genocide" was coined in the early 1940s by attorney Raphael Lemkin, who considered genocide as "a composite of different acts of persecution and destruction." In the wake of the Nuremberg Trials rendering punishment against Nazi war criminals for their systematic attacks on human dignity and life, the United Nations was born.
Released in February, the book's title comes from the petition "We Charge Genocide: The Crime of the U.S. Government against the Negro People."
The Genocide Convention was approved by the U.N. General Assembly on Dec. 9, 1948. In a new prologue by Jarvis Tyner, chair of the New York State Communist Party and two-time vice-presidential candidate (1972 and 1976), he notes the following:
"It was the tragedy of war, enormous human suffering, and the holocaust that created the undeniable need for the United Nations to be established. In response to the mass murder and genocide perpetrated on the world's people by the fascists, the Genocide Conventions were also adopted as part of the U.N. Charter."
Along with being the petition's main author, Patterson served as the national executive secretary of the CRC. Throughout his career, he campaigned for civil rights and labor rights.
He was born in San Francisco on Aug. 27, 1891, and his legal career began after graduating from Hastings College with a law degree in 1919. He moved to New York in 1923 and opened a firm in Harlem with attorneys Benjamin Dyett and George Hall.
William Patterson, a giant in the Black struggle for liberation who's been cast aside by history for his ties to Communism, was born and raised in San Francisco and earned his law degree at Hastings.
He defended Sacco and Vanzetti and The Scottsboro Boys in the 1920s and 1930s respectively. Decades later, he served as an advocate for Angela Davis and the Black Panther Party. His autobiography, "The Man Who Cried Genocide" (1971), is also available from International Publishers.
As noted in his second foreword to the book: "The petition declared that racism of government was a criminal policy. It constituted a flagrant violation of the U.N. charter, its Universal Declaration of Human Rights, more specifically the U.N. Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide and the Constitution of the United States of America."
Supporting the charges of the CRC is the lengthy documentation of such instances of genocide chronologically arranged "under those provisions of the Genocide Convention which they violate." This case file, located in the third part of the petition under the name "The Evidence," lists names, places and crimes committed Jan. 1, 1945, until June 1951. Gruesome tales of lynching, beatings and murder against individuals and groups paralleled those of the fascist death squads in Europe, in regards to both vigilante mobs and state-sanctioned executioners.
Patterson wrote: "We speak for progressive mankind because a policy of discrimination at home must inevitably create racist commodities for export abroad – must inevitably lead to war."
In 1970 the petition was presented again to the U.N. by the Emergency Conference Committee, which was co-chaired by Ossie Davis, Angie Dickerson and Dick Gregory. Davis wrote in his preface for the second edition (which has been republished for the new edition) in August that same year: "History calls for an end to genocidal relations at home and abroad. This Petition is called for by history and the people are its bearers."
Here, it's Paul Robeson and the Civil Rights Congress picketing the White House in August 1948. On Aug. 19, 2017, 69 years later, today's freedom fighters will do the same. The Millions for Prisoners Human Rights March is picketing the White House to demand the removal of the slavery clause in the 13th Amendment that makes the enslavement of prisoners legal, so to end prison slavery in the U.S.
The third edition of "We Charge Genocide" contains new material and essays providing context to the work's social and political relevance today. This offering demands to be read by those who stand on the progressive side of human history.
Tyner links the petition and the new edition in part to the Black Lives Matter movement as "the killing of African-Americans continues almost daily," to quote Betty Smith of International Publishers. One can read the following line from the petition to see little has changed in what is boasted to be a free country: "Once the classic method of lynching was the rope. Now it is the policeman's bullet."
The recent tragedies instigated by racists and Neo-Nazis at a rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, have seized the attention of millions at home and around the globe, these horrors are part of a shameful history hundreds of years in the making. As Tyner has written, "In our country, there is a history of racist terror and genocide directed at African Americans. Certainly this was undeniable after 300 years of chattel slavery, a system more vicious and inhumane than ancient Greek and Roman slavery."
"Once the classic method of lynching was the rope. Now it is the policeman's bullet."
To conclude with a passage from Robeson's 1952 essay "Genocide Stalks the U.S.A." (as published in New World Review): "The American people will some day take pride in the fact that at a time when the United States government was the driving force behind the oppression of hundreds of millions of people throughout the world, it was boldly called before the bar of world opinion by progressive Americans who exposed its pretensions of 'democracy' and proved it guilty of genocide within its own borders."

Would be handy to have some, or even all surfaceproperties, replicated in the object properties panel, where they could be saved with the scene, but not the object.
they could be implemented as "Booster" values.
I can see your point, but imho it will create more confusion and clutter than functionality.
Surfaces cannot be part of a batch-processing-spreadsheet, like shadows, or rays.
In the rare case you want to batch-boost the diffuse of 100 surfaces, you can do this in the Surface Editor, by Shift clicking multiple surfaces and add an envelope/expression and control the boost via a null.
Scene-Specific settings are allowed by G2.

Why was Germany suffering the most during the Depression?
The treaty gave some German territories to neighbouring countries and placed other German territories under international supervision. In addition, Germany was stripped of its overseas colonies, its military capabilities were severely restricted, and it was required to pay war reparations to the Allied countries.
Under the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was required to make monetary payments to the Allies, called reparations. The heavy reparations, combined with the devastated economic infrastructure throughout Germany and political tension under the Weimar Republic, led to an economic depression.
Many German civilians were starving and there were severe food shortages. Germany was running out of raw materials. Revolts had broken out across Germany. Sailors at Kiel and Wilhelmshaven had mutinied after being ordered to take part in one final offensive against the British navy.
What were the major factors responsible for economic crisis in Germany during 1920s? Answer: In 1923, Germany refused to pay, and the French occupied Ruhr, to claim their coal. (iii) Reckless Printing of Currency: Germany retaliated with passive resistance and printed paper currency recklessly.
With too much printed money in circulation, the value of the German Mark fell. As a result, prices of goods soared. The image of Germans carrying cartloads of currency notes to buy a loaf of bread was widely publicised. This crisis came to be known as hyperinflation. Answer verified by Toppr.
Answer: When French occupied Ruhr area, Germany retaliated with passive resistance and printed paper currency recklessly. With too much printed money in circulation, the value of the German mark fell.
Nazism (or National Socialism; German: Nationalsozialismus) is a set of political beliefs associated with the Nazi Party of Germany. It started in the 1920s. Party gained power in 1933, starting the Third Reich. They lasted in Germany until 1945, at the end of World War II.
Why did Germany suffer so badly from the Great Depression? Germany was, indeed, especially hard-hit by the Great Depression. A major factor was the Treaty of Versailles, which was supposed to settle outstanding disputes following the cessation of hostilities in World War I.

Non-formal learning is mostly about how we do the things, not what we exactly do. We can call non-formal learning "comfortable". Non-formal learning is a series of activities you need to make to prepare excellent conditions for the group work. In non-formal learning, learning is not necessarily a sole or main activity. As non-formal learning takes place in a diverse range of environments, both temporarily and as activities or courses, it is always planned.
Team building activities let the participating people, to feel and act as a group. Communication in a group, working better together and having trust in each other, seem to be the most important reasons why teachers or trainers decide to build a team during their class or course. Those are the same motivation factors for building a team at a work environment, as everyone wants the friendly and comfortable work environment with happy people. A good collaborative group is a great space to generate creative ideas. After completing a team building activity, participants better understand their motivation to be a part of group and they better understand each other's strengths and weaknesses. Team building activities also help to develop problem-solving skills, team members can determine when they face a problem and what they can do about it.
Download some team building activities included in the "Catch it! Non-formal academy of activities" publication in .pdf format in the English language version.
