Former Gambian "Jungler" appeared in US court
On 3 December 2020, former member of the elite Gambian paramilitary unit Michael Correa appeared before a US District Court in Colorado, as part of a preliminary hearing. He has been accused of acts of torture committed in The Gambia on behalf of the administration of former President Yahya Jammeh. However, due to the complexity of the case, its international focus and the pandemic, the case will probably not move forward for some time.

On Thursday 3 December 2020, Michael Sang Correa, 41 years old, appeared before the judge via video teleconferencing, from the prison where he is being held. Because of the restrictions on visits due to the Covid-19 pandemic, he has not been able to see his lawyers in person so far. Defense lawyers have therefore argued that they may not be able to represent him within the 180-day time limit set by the court.
There have also been delays in the investigation, including difficulties in tracking down and finding individuals in The Gambia. Combined with the logistical challenges of getting witnesses to the United States – which was already a complicated process before the pandemic –, the chances are that the trial, that was originally set to take place in early 2021, will not begin until next summer at the earliest.
Correa is believed to have been a member of the Junglers, the notorious death squad of former Gambian President Yahya Jammeh. These shock troops, formed in the mid-1990s, were allegedly involved in cases of enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, sexual violence, torture and arbitrary detention. In its indictment, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) alleges that Michael Correa is responsible for the torture of at least six people in 2006, as well as conspiracy to commit torture, following an attempted coup against the former Gambian head of state.
Correa has also been implicated in other crimes carried out by the Jammeh government. In The Gambia, former "Junglers" told the Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission (TRRC) that Correa participated in the execution of a former head of intelligence and four of his associates in April 2006. He is also believed to have been involved in the killings of two journalists, as well as nine detainees in 2012 and two Gambian and American dual nationals.
The indictment of Michael Correa is the first prosecution of a member of Jammeh's death squads anywhere in the world. It is only the second case – after former President Charles Taylor's son– to be tried by US officials under the federal extraterritorial torture statute, since its statute on torture committed outside the country was introduced in 1994.

Our Village is a one of the Major gram panchayat in T.NARASAPURAM Mandal and there are about 6000 people live without proper communication/Mobile signals. This village is just 45 km away from Andhra pradesh's Capital now but People are struggling very badly to communicate with outside world. There were many incidents that people are being met with accidents most of the times when they tried to get over to Roof of the buildings,water tanks and Trees to make calls to hospitals for emergency needs or to reach out their children who lives out side of the villages or to get other basic needs in day to day life. I felt this is really pathetic situation for people's life there. There are 50+ Software engineers,doctors from this village but unable to communicate with parents/families.Communication is a basic necessity in human life now a days.
I strongly hope that you will take the necessary action immedialy and ensure that the mobile coverage will be provided in this area.

Some engineers are specialized in constructing valves. They do nothing else; they just construct valves, all day long. Now someone might ask: Isn't thisit boring, to occupy your mind with nothing but valves all day long? But actually it is a very interesting field. There are valves for air and valves for steam, and then there are some for water and some for oil. There are high- pressure valves and thermostat valves. There are regulators for monitoring the temperature of a liquid, for instance in the shower. There are valves, which activate themselves and others, which can be operated only by hand, and there are some which work both automatically and manually.
One could think that valves are a human invention, but nature also knows valves and regulators of many different kinds. We find natural valves at the entrance of the gullet and of the air tube, at the exits of the stomach and of the bladder, and at the end of the intestines. Many glands are using some kind of valve. There are the heart valves, and in the veins, there are valves to ensure that the blood flows in the right direction.
We are used to turning the heat on when we are cold, and to turning it off when we are warm. We use a control for the central heating, if we want to change the temperature of the oven. We know that we can turn off the water in the house if a pipe bursts in the winter. We are used to regulating the amount and temperature of the water in the bath tub, and to accelerating and slowing down our car. We are used to our bicycle tyres being filled with air, a kettle whistling, and a steamer cooking our meals. For all this we use valves. They serve our purposes without us having to think about them. But there is one important difference between the valves of our body and the technical ones invented by humans. If a technical valve is set in the wrong position someone must come and readjust it. The natural valves of our body and soul adjust and get set all by themselves, and they can – if necessary – independently readjust themselves at any time.

Utah author Richard Paul Evans among guests not invited back to FanX, as convention faces pressure to write anti-harassment policy
Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune Richard Paul Evans speaks during the annual ceremony for grieving parents at the Christmas Box Angel, at the Salt Lake City Cemetery, Saturday, December 6, 2014
By Sean P. Means
| May 8, 2018, 10:11 p.m.
| Updated: May 10, 2018, 2:39 p.m.
Several celebrity guests, including Utah author Richard Paul Evans, won't be invited back to FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention in September, as event organizers deal with accusations of sexual harassment at past conventions.
FanX officials sent an email Tuesday to members of an authors' group, telling them the convention is updating its harassment polices and has decided "to not invite back at this time several guests," The Salt Lake Tribune has learned. The writers have posted an online petition demanding a firm policy against harassment.
FanX co-founders Dan Farr and Bryan Brandenburg posted a modified version of the email on a private Facebook group for the event's regular panelists. Once they have received input from panelists, the organizers said, they plan to post an updated harassment policy publicly. FanX has acknowledged its policy focuses on attendees, and not celebrities and panelists.
The Facebook message does not mention that anyone would not be invited back for panels, book signings or other convention events.
"Generally, there are some people who are not coming back, whether it was a mutual decision or whether we've decided not to have them back," Farr said Tuesday. "We don't maintain a blacklist, or anything like that."
When asked if FanX is investigating accusations of harassment, Farr replied, "We're always reviewing information as it comes in."
The email sent to the authors said FanX is creating a committee to "further investigate any allegations," and said it has been looking into "specific issues" since its last show.
Though FanX will not discuss specific cases, Farr said one person who has agreed to stay away this fall is Evans, known for such sentimental tales as "The Christmas Box" and the science-fiction "Michael Vey" series. Evans has been accused of inappropriate behavior after a panel at last September's Salt Lake Comic Con (now called FanX). A woman complained to FanX officials, but has not made her name public.

Evans did not reply to a request for comment emailed to his assistant.
A group of Utah-based young-adult authors, called Rock Canyon Writers, posted its "Conference Harassment Pledge" online Tuesday. The pledge, drafted by the group's anti-harassment committee, urges writers "NOT to attend conferences where there is no policy in place or where stated policies have not been followed through on."
The authors' petition doesn't mention FanX by name, but urges any event to adopt clear policies against harassment. The writers' group also recommends that events set up a process to deal with complaints quickly and confidentially, and set up a no-tolerance policy that would bar serial harassers from events for life.
Enforcement is a requirement for any event's policy, said Layton author Mette Ivie Harrison, who administrates the Rock Canyon group online. "I see this as a problem of harassers trying to minimize what they've done, and revictimize their victims by making it appear they're blowing it out of proportion," said Harrison, who writes Mormon-themed mysteries and young-adult fantasy novels.
In its Facebook post to panelists, FanX said it will update its FAQs and its volunteer manual on harassment issues, add new training procedures for staff and volunteers, and establish a system for lodging complaints that includes anonymous reporting. Organizers have hired an attorney, and are consulting with conventions with other cities.
FanX is set for Sept. 4-6 in the Salt Palace Convention Center in downtown Salt Lake City. It's one of the biggest events of its kind in the country, drawing upwards of 100,000 fans to celebrate, meet and cosplay as their favorite pop-culture icons.

Q: Late Answer Review Doesn't Load

For the past hour or so, there has been 1 Late Answer available to me for review.
Clicking on the late answer shows the message

If I abort by clicking the Review link again, an orange error box flashes up that starts with

I have been able to reproduce this 5 times over the last 20 minutes.
Possibly related to Phantom Suggested Edit but the symptoms are different.
UPDATE
The duplicate this points to claims that the issue is fixed "in the next build."  That statement was made last October.
Either the "next build" is not out 4 months later, or this is a recurrence of the issue.

Composer Jennifer Jolley is a relatively new voice to the wind ensemble and one we all should know. Her work Lichtweg serves as a great introduction to her work.
The library of works for the wind ensemble is growing. Sure, that statement seems a bit obvious as new composers are writing for this performance medium, but it is not just achieving new numbers. Our repertoire is gaining quality works from composers, both established and new. This may largely be due to the willingness of conductors to interact and communicate with composers.
Certainly, technology helps. It is much easier to send records back and forth nowadays, as well as connect via text message or FaceTime. And, conductors are capable of sharing ideas with others regularly. That is how I discovered composer Jennifer Jolley. In talking with a friend and conductor of a collegiate ensemble, I asked what they were programming this semester. The reply was filled with great standard works and one which I was not familiar. It was Lichtweg (Lightway) by Ms. Jolley.
Currently, Jennifer Jolley is Assistant Professor of Music at Ohio Wesleyan University where she teaches composition and music theory. She holds degrees from the University of Southern California (B.M) and the University of Cincinnati (M.M. and D.M.A.). Ms. Jolley's teachers include Stephen Hartke, Frank Ticheli, Michael Fiday, Joel Hoffman, and Douglas Knehans.
While her catalog is diverse, her works for wind ensemble are a bit more recent. Motordom was composed in 2009, and is a musical interpretation of American light-artist Keith Sonnier's light installation in Los Angeles. Her next work for winds, Through the Looking Glass Falls, was completed in 2014. The next four compositions were published in 2016 and 2017.
Jennifer Jolley was commissioned by the Georgia Tech Concert Band with Lichtweg being the result of the process. The ensemble premiered the work on November 19, 2017.
Like Motordom, Jolley drew inspiration from another of Keith Sonnier's installations. This time, it was the exhibit in Terminal 1 of the Munich Airport in Germany. Photos of the installation can be found on Sonnier's website, and are linked here. The exhibit uses glowing neon lights and mirrors throughout the corridor. The idea is to help passengers direction and variety, helping them relax from the stress of travel.
In this piece I musically portray the rhythmic placement of red and blue light emanating from this neon installation by creating a constant eighth-note ostinato that is heard throughout the piece. Just as the panes of glass, mirrors, and aluminum sheets refract and scatter the colorful neon light, this ostinato is diffused amongst the different colors in the ensemble.
The ostinato used can make the work a bit more challenging than it appears. Often times, a couple groups of musicians perform the ostinato but are separated by an eighth note, providing reflection like the mirrors in the installation. Even with the rhythmic challenges, the composition is filled with bright energy. Jolley uses the timbres of the ensemble to show the variety of light and color in the exhibit.
Her website includes a midi recording of the work, though with several ensembles performing it recently, I would not be surprised if she added a live version. There is also a sample of the score is included on her site. This work, and others, are available for rental.

HEATHENS TO RACE IN NEW LEAGUE
THE famous Cradley Heathens name will live on - as a junior team in a brand new league.
Every Premiership club will compete in one home and one away junior league meeting and Wolverhampton have passed over the name of their second-string to the Heathens.
And Wolverhampton chief Chris Van Straaten, the man behind the move, has already confirmed popular 2019 rider Tom Spencer will captain the side.
He said: "Nigel Pearson, Gary Patchett and myself spent 10 years proudly running the team in the National League but it ended on a sad note as we failed to find a suitable piece of land for a new track.
"This was the biggest regret we had and the Premiership Junior League provides an ideal opportunity to keep the Heathens name alive.
"By doing this it keeps the Heathens in the public eye, they just don't disappear, and by doing this hopefully it can help somebody else secure a suitable site for a new track for them which is what we all want to see.
"I think the whole idea of the Premiership Junior League is tremendous. Wayne Carter came through a similar system years ago for Wolverhampton as the most notable name.
"Former Heathen Tom Spencer will captain the side and lead from the front with the aim of giving riders an opportunity to develop without any pressure being put on them.
"It will also be useful for the young lads to look, learn and listen to the professional riders in the pits.
"The Heathens Speedway Supporters Trust have kindly helped us out by purchasing our race jackets.
"We're excited about the prospect of keeping the Heathens name alive in a small capacity for someone hopefully to take over."

Aviation security employment dispute heading to court
The battle between Aviation Security and its workers will head to court this week as unions try to stop a lockout.
Aviation Security advised the unions of the lockouts at five international airports after security staff gave notice of strikes later this month.
"It's hugely significant. An eight-day lock out of aviation security staff is an awful long time, so it will have a huge disruptive effect," says Glenn Barclay of the Public Service Association (PSA) union.
Mr Barclay says the lockout is unlawful and irresponsible.
He's also critical of suggestions Defence Force staff could be brought in to fill the security roles.
"Our people are well trained, they understand how to use the equipment, they know what they're looking for and how to look for it, and their roles are being taken over by someone else who doesn't understand all that stuff and I think that will increase the security risk."
The PSA hopes the matter can be resolved during mediation.


Early risers in New Jersey tomorrow (Wednesday) morning may be treated to an early Halloween show from a "Blood Moon" lunar eclipse.
The Earth will be between the sun and the moon and it's shadow on the moon will create the lunar eclipse and give the moon a distinctive reddish look. The blood moon will be visible on both coasts, and at the Jersey Shore, and along the majority of the East Coast, we have a relatively good shot at a decent view of it.
The forecast may not cooperate however, with the possibility of clouds and lingering showers. The eclipse is expected to occur between 5:15 and 6:45am tomorrow morning, according to accuweather.com.
NASA says the next lunar eclipse will take place April 4th 2015, according to abcnews.go.com.

Congolese Artist | Léonard Kibala
Léonard Kibala was born in Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He came to the United States in a diversity lottery that he won in 2019. When asked what his motivation he said, "I am an artist. I must not be silent. Painting portraits is my way to express my artistic talent to the American public. The United States is a country of opportunities. I hope I can realize my artistic dreams here."
A few years ago, I traveled to northern New Mexico and visited the stunning canyons at Ghost Ranch. Ghost Ranch was Georgia O'Keefe's home and where she painted many of the stark landscapes for which she is famous. I later learned that some of her first works were of New York cityscapes, when skyscrapers changed both the skyline and the way people lived in the 1920s. Later in life, her paintings depicting aerial views of clouds and sky were inspired by her airplane travels. O'Keefe was also known for her iconic impressions of flowers.

Last week, my wife, Laurie, and I were working our morning crossword, puzzling through a series of clues in the form of quotations. As it turned out, all the clues were from famous artists: Picasso, Gauguin, Dali, and Chagall. Picasso is featured in our film review this month, so it seems appropriate to dig a little deeper into his wisdom.

He was asking the board to sign a waiver regarding nepotism so his son could fill in as a part time paid deputy when needed. After several minutes of discussion Hickey said he had a problem with it being father and son. Hickey said it had nothing to do with the younger Aistrope not being qualified, and saying it is nothing personal. Morgan said she felt the same way and would stand her ground on it. She said when it works it works, and when it doesn't it doesn't, and it can devastate an organization. Morgan requested a roll-call vote regarding hiring the sheriff's son. Morgan, Nay; Hickey, Nay; Bartholomew, Aye.
At 11:10 a.m. Speck Hendrickson, met with the board to discuss county insurance. Hendrickson said he is on Medicare and has his own supplement and he was requesting the board to supplement him for his Medicare Supplement which is $105.00 a month verses paying the county's insurance. Morgan said she does not use the county's insurance and does not request to be reimbursed for it, and knows of others that do the same thing. Morgan asked for a roll call vote as to whether the county reimburses an employee for not using the county's insurance. Morgan, Nay; Hickey, Nay; Bartholomew, Aye.
At 11:25 a.m. the board decided they would hold a special meeting on January 2, 2015 to swear in new elected officials and set up county boards for the upcoming year.
In other business claims were approved for December 26, 2014.
A claim was approved for hand written warrant. General Basic Fund; Veterans Affairs, Postage, $200.000.
At 9:10 a.m. there being no further business, Morgan made a motion to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously.

Anais Goes to War
A film by Marion Gervais
Anais is a determined and energetic 24-year-old with a dream: to have her own farm and make herbal teas from her plants in Brittany. But getting there won't be easy.
While Anais clearly loves spending her days among aromatic plants—pruning, transplanting, weeding, and blending teas—she also has to deal with financial hardship, poor-quality soil, and the challenges of marketing her products. After paying rent on her farm fields, she has just over 100 Euros a month to live on. When we first meet her, she is living in a tiny trailer with no power or running water.
Still, she persists. On a trip to Paris (in high heels and a stylishly retro jacket, but with her legs covered in scratches), Anais meets potential clients who tell her to launch a website, play herself up as edgy and punk, and target uber-chic groceries with her products. Back in Brittany, one of her mentors says to remain genuine, and not get burned by trying to be trendy. Meanwhile, her mother laments that she's chosen a life with no security and few prospects for advancement.
ANAIS GOES TO WAR is a closely observed portrait of a young woman who is trying to forge her own path, and who values freedom and doing the hard work she loves over the security of a mundane job.

Brittle deformation in Miocene rocks of the Morelia-Cuitzeo region, Michoacán: implications on the local geothermal system

Keywords: fragile deformation, faults, fractures, arrangement of fractures, fractal, Mexico
Brittle deformation is accommodated by faults and fractures, which affect the upper crust of the Earth. The distribution of brittle deformation and the arrangement of faults and fractures are little known variables, although they influence the rock permeability and are important to understand the strain concentration. Our work explores the strain distribution and the fault arrangement on Miocene andesitic rocks in the Morelia-Cuitzeo area through a quantitative strain analysis at the mesoscopic scale. Two fracture families (F1 and F2) affect the rocks in the study area, and they are related to two brittle deformation events (D1 and D2) occurred between the Miocene and the Recent. The F1 fractures have an NNW-SSE strike and accommodate ~2.5 % of a ENE-WSW extension. The F2 fractures cut the F1 fractures, have an ENE-WSW strike, and accommodate ~7 % of a ~N-S extension. Both facture families have an arrangement of fracture clusters and average fracture intensity of 17 fractures/meter. The fracture intensity behavior is related to the rock type and not to the amount of strain. The finite strain (extension) of the F1 and F2 fractures has a heterogeneous distribution. This behavior contributes significantly to secondary porosity associated with F1 and F2 fractures. The strain distribution, and the quantity and arrangement of the fractures suggest that the Miocene rocks may be the permeable package of a geothermal system in the Cuitzeo Lake area.

Q: Solving functional equation $f(x+y) = f(x)f(y)$ under some constraints Suppose that $x, y \in \{1,\dots, n\}$. Is it possible to find a nonzero $f \in \mathbb{C}$ such that
$$f(x+y) = f(x)f(y) \text{ for } x \neq y$$
$$f(x)^2 - \frac{1}{2x-1} = f(2x)$$
This problem is related to solving $f(x+y) = f(x)f(y) $ with solution $a^x$.

A: There is a trivial solution for $\ n=1\ $ and a simple solution for
$\ n=2.\ $ It is however straightforward to see that there does not exist any solution for any $\ n\ge 4.\ $ I'll leave the pleasure of verifying this to the readers. (You may consult my comments above, under the OP's Question).

A land of perfect beans
Posted on October 22, 2017 October 22, 2017 by Gareth Thomas
I am planting beans today, but I am taking a break to read the Spanish Sunday papers and bring myself up to date with the political crisis. So, I'll try to convey something of the atmosphere here in Spain and summarise a complex situation in a simple form – as far as possible – for those readers of this blog who live in the UK, USA and elsewhere.
For those of you receiving your news outside of Spain, the Catalonia crisis may be difficult to understand; compounded also by a flock of media birds bearing fake news.* There was an excellent article in El País yesterday (available in English) about the damage to the free press as a consequence of "fake news" infecting this conflict; just as happened with the Brexit referendum and the Trump election.
First, however, let me tell you about my beans. I am planting habas (broad beans) of the variety Muchamiel. The autumn planting last year produced a very good crop. And I am also planting judías (green runner beans) of the variety Perfección. What a claim by the seed producers to suggest these will be perfect beans! I hope so, but I doubt it, for reasons which will become apparent.
Let's continue with the political crisis and explain quite simply what is the situation now. Spain since 1978 – after Franco's dictatorship – has a number of autonomous regions including Catalonia. Like Northern Ireland, Catalonia has its own parliament and devolved powers. Unlike Northern Ireland it has control of its own police force, numbering 17,000 Mossos d'Escuadra.
Following several decades of increasing demands by a segment of Catalan society for greater independence from Spain (a regional nationalist project which goes back into the 19th and 20th centuries and has produced political and social crises before), the torch of Catalan nationalism was passed to Carles Puigdemont and he has led the movement into an illegal "referendum" on independence which had no legal basis under the Spanish Constitution.
In the October 1st vote, which went ahead despite all the red lights from Madrid and the sending of thousands of Policia Nacional and Guardia Civil to Cataluña from all over Spain, a minority of Catalans took part in the vote. Unsurprisingly, the majority of those who turned out to vote in an illegal "referendum" supported the nationalist project, so Puigdemont and the secessionists claimed victory. A lot of international media focus was on the police action of that day and the claim of 900 victims of police brutality. The excellent article by Peter Preston in the Guardian, reflecting on the way the international media fell into the Catalan separatist propaganda trap should be read by everyone (including Australian walkers on the pilgrim route to Santiago who – for reasons unknown – find themselves contrbuting to my blog!) He says, rightly, that in the era of fake news the media need to be very careful before rushing into judgment in such a scenario.
The simple truth is that the political police of Catalonia, the Mossos d'Escuadra, by ignoring the order of the day (to close the voting stations at 6 am), led the Policia Nacional and Guardia Civil into a trap when they had to turn up and do the job three or four hours later when there were many people on the streets and queuing to "vote" in the illegal referendum. The scenes were very rough. In fact they were very rough in London whenever the Special Patrol Group or the ordinary riot police lashed into us when I was a student protester! In Paris, Rome and Berlin similar scenes can be witnessed at times. A football match sometimes produces similar scenes of crowd control. The state has always policed its laws with force to equal those who oppose it. Catalonia is like the boy in the school playground who starts a fight, then cries foul when he begins to lose the fight, and finally claims victim status when the fight is lost.
That is where we are now: Catalonia is screaming victimisation! The Partido Popular government, with the full support of the socialist PSOE and the liberal Ciudadanos party, has implemented article 155 of the Constitution, with the intention of taking control of the Catalan parliamentary process (NOT suspending it – which is fake news), control of the economy, control of the Ctalan police, and possibly the control of the TV3 television channel which has been used for propaganda purposes by the nationalists. This is for a limited period. Autonomy has not been suspended but the intervention is designed to repair damage done to the autonomy by a wilfully anti-constitutional movement that has divided Catalan society.
Carles Puigdemont will possibly attempt a unilateral declaration of independence this week (Friday would be a likely moment). This should render him subject to immediate arrest and imprisonment without bail until his case has been prepared for trial. The charge of sedition may be upgraded to a charge of rebellion, which carries a maximum sentence of 30 years.
My main concern, as I am planting my beans today, is the damage this is doing to Catalonia and to the whole of Spain. As I drive to work each day I see more houses where the Spanish flag (the rojigualda) is flying. In Alicante, the nearest city here, flags are hanging from balconies. In the bars the talk is about stopping "these Catalan bastards". The more extreme view is that the head of the Catalan police (mayor Trapero) should be shot for rebellion against the state. In Catalonia itself, horror stories are emerging of children bullied at school by their teachers because their parents are Guardia Civil officers; there are mobs daubing the houses of non-separatist politicians with hate slogans; Spanish media are being attacked daily, reporters feel unsafe on the streets of Barcelona; and families do not sit down at the table to eat because they cannot have a civil conversation any longer.
Aubergines, peppers and lettuces planted last April, and still struggling to survive in poisoned soil. When the owner of the soil behaves irresponsibly the next generation suffers.
I have known this country since I was eleven, in school in Ibiza where we had a portrait of the Generalissimo above the teacher's desk, and a uniformed army officer (Capitán Nuñez) teaching us history. I have followed the progress of this country into the present, and I have admired its fast development, socially and politically, into the advanced democratic state we now have. It is a country I aspire to join fully as a citizen – after the Brexit disaster which leaves me no other option of remaining a European citizen – and I have some pride in my new country. I feel more of an identity with Spain than with the UK – particularly after watching Boris Johnson and the other Brexit clowns insulting Europe for the past year.
But I fear for Spain, in the present Catalan crisis, and the danger of opposing nationalisms is the greatest danger. This might once again poison the soil of Spain. And I return to my beans. I am planting in raised beds now, trying to recover my garden from the long-term damage done by the previous owner who used industrial strength weedkiller to poison the soil. The Spanish government is acting on the Catalan situation with article 155 of the constitution but the resulting return to the law will not heal Catalonia overnight. The Catalan soil has been poisoned by nationalism and the counter-reac tion is raising the ghost of Spanish nationalism too.
I doubt if I'll have perfect beans and I doubt the present crisis will be solved before my beans are harvested. I hope the winter rains will once again wash the poison from my garden, and similarly I hope when Puigdemont and Junqueras et al are swept away by article 155 (and the resulting street demonstrators have got tired) Catalonia may resume its autonomy having learned a lesson. Spain could be heading for a recession and it will need someone more decisive than Mariano Rajoy to guide the country. His handling of the Catalan crisis has been appalling.
Finally, for those of you following news of Aitana's progress, here is a photo of her from today, looking very alert. She ran down the slope to level 2 this morning for her breakfast and her front hooves are looking decidedly forward-pointing.
*NOTE: It was Victor Hugo in his novel Notre Dame de Paris who used the image of the political leaflets rolling off the printing presses as a "flock of birds" which can be scattered to the four winds. The Catalan propaganda machines of the ANC and Omniúm Cultural have been dispensing lies on an industrial scale, and today's equivalent of the political leaflet is the more powerful weapon of social media. Just as with the disemination of fake news in the successes of Brexit and Trump.
As I completed this blog post, I listened to the BBC "World This Weekend" programme. It had an excellent summary of the Catalan crisis which is really worth listening to. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/player/b099v2d6

Endgame in la Rambla: part 1

Margaret Butterworth says:
Back in Barcelona after a month on the Camino, I find myself caught up in the demos again. The taxi drivers refused to take me to my hotel in Passeig de Gracia because the streets were closed. They told me to walk! I said I don't know the way! I was pretty fed up, I can tell you. In MNAC this morning, a young guy working there told me he had voted Yes because it was a matter of personal dignity. He said he wouldn't want his children to grow up Spanish because there is no real democracy under the present govt.
I'm not taking sides, just saying what I heard.
Gareth Thomas says:
If you grow up in Barcelona, you grow up Spanish. The absurd and impractical enthusiasms of the Catalans are well known, but now you've seen the real world of no taxis and walking to your hotel, perhaps you can understand why hundreds of companies have fled Cataluña in the past two weeks.
Yes we can all find Catalans who speak absurdly of the modern democratic Spain as "fascist" and constantly dwell on their own pathetic victimhood. It's one of the more embarrassing aspects of living in Spain these days, having a part of the population behaving like a nursery school.
I don't know if you have followed any of the details, Margaret, but the present Catalan government has closed its own parliament for several weeks, so the opposition has no say. (No democracy in Spain indeed! Priceless.) If you'd like to explore the facts, I'm sure you would find them more interesting than the myths. And the more intelligent conclusion is that the democrats are those who observe the law of this country and the Constitution. End of.
Gareth, I think that what I disagree with towards you, to a degree, is your proposal that Trump, Brexit, and Catalonian Nationalist (or indeed Scottish Nationalist) Secessionism might be a single phenomenon.
I think rather that the redefinition of politics away from left vs right , towards federalism vs nations vs regions , that I began to see coming around 25 years ago, is trying very hard to become "the new normal".
It's another iteration of the Millennia-old conflict between collectivism and individuality, to which there's not much we could even TRY to prevent …
Jabba, I think you misunderstood my passing reference to Trump and Brexit: the politics is different in each case. What connects them is the mad unthinking rush of populism spurred on by the closed world of social media where you only see views expressed that you agree with and no proper debate ever takes place. Catalonia is informed by the heavily subsidised TV3 and the seperatist view is promoted by hundreds of millions of Euros that we in the rest of Spain contribute to the Catalan coffers. Senior functionaries in the Generalitat are earning more than the Prime Minister, and there are dozens of them.
If you understand Spanish and want to hear the authentic voice of hope in Catalonia, listen to Inés Arrimadas (Ciudadanos party), who is in my view the best thing to come out of this crisis. She is an extraordinary voice of unity and moderation.
This is the second time in the past two weeks or so I've heard Inés Arrimadas speaking, and I have been very favourably impressed both times.
Jabba, if the first time you heard Arrimadas was her intervention in the Catalan parliament I agree it was impressive. If not, find it on YouTube. She is quite brilliant.

US SafetyGear hits grand slam with Indians
Supply company inks 3-year apparel deal
Ron Selak Jr.
rselak@tribtoday.com
Staff photo / R. Michael Semple Tarry Alberini, CEO of US SafetyGear, Inc., talks about the three-year deal his company signed to be the preferred provider of game-day apparel for the Cleveland Indians. The deal, which is for stadium workers' clothing, also gives Alberini's company full marketing rights for the Tribe.
WARREN — It's Tribe time now for US SafetyGear, Inc.
The supplier of safety equipment for construction and other industries continues to grow into doing more embroidery, printing and silk screening. It's now hit a grand slam with acquiring its latest account: the Cleveland Indians.
This month, the Warren-headquartered company that already provides operational supplies to the Indians signed a three-year deal to be its preferred provider of game-day apparel for staff at Progressive Field.
That means at every one of the 81 home games starting in 2020, the 1,300 or so employees at the park each game will be outfitted in apparel provided by US SafetyGear.
The deal, worth about $120,000 per year for the company, also gives it full rights to advertise and market the Cleveland Indians logo, the block C.
It's a move US SafetyGear, Inc.'s CEO Tarry Alberini said will bring the company "to the rest of the world."
He estimates the apparel division at the Enterprise Road SW production and fulfillment depot will produce pieces numbering in the "six figures" for the ball club. Plus the company will be included on advertising on the scoreboard and behind home plate.
"This helps us to really piggyback on the brand of the Cleveland Indians, it really does," Alberini said. "The coverage they have on game day, not just in the park, but through the radio network, TV, we'll have digital signs through the ballpark during the game."
US SafetyGear, Inc. and the Indians have had a relationship for about 15 years on the operations side of the club for safety equipment. It was at the company's 30th anniversary open house in August, attended by some of the Indians staff, when the groundwork was laid for the apparel deal.
"They (members of the Indians staff) toured the facility here and went back to our apparel department and one thing led to another. We had already done some apparel for them on the staff side of the ballpark so they suggested when they came down, 'You know what, we have to get you guys hooked up with our apparel folks at the stadium,'" Alberini said.
Some time later, Indians officials were back at the facility and liked what they saw, and the rest is history.
What US SafetyGear, Inc. will provide includes jackets, polo shirts, some screen-printed items and it also will supply the team shops with some special made-to-order products, Alberini said.
"My goodness gracious, this is a big huge step for our company," Alberini said.
In addition to supplying the products, the eCommerce team at US SafetyGear, Inc. will create an online apparel website so employees can order direct from it. Leading that effort are Avi Cooper, eCommerce and marketing manager, and Shannon Phillips, marketing and design associate.
The company has similar portals for its other clients. The Indians site should be live in January.
"It's your own little US Safety Gear shop where you can order stuff at the prices you've established with us, the specifications you've established, the specific items, the sizes, all of that," Cooper said. "It's their custom shop open 24/7."
The company also has relationships with the Cleveland Cavaliers for operational supplies and some apparel; with Kraftmaid for both; with Nestle for safety equipment and some apparel; and with Summit Racing for apparel for its catalog.
Alberini signed on with the Cavaliers around 2000-01, before the arrival of LeBron James, for operational supplies. People, he said, questioned the move because the team's name recognition had waned; its play on the court hadn't been good.
"Two years later, they drafted LeBron James and, of course, who looks like a genius. (People would say) 'Hey Tarry Alberini, that's the smartest move you made,' because all of sudden the brand recognition for the Cavaliers is like humongous."
