David Crockett announces bid for Chattanooga mayor's office
November 17, 2016 at 2:38 p.m. | Updated February 7, 2017 at 4:50 p.m.
by Paul Leach
David Crockett, a former three-term Chattanooga City Council member and Council Chairman, has announced he will run for the Chattanooga mayor's seat.
He served as the director of the city's Office of Sustainability during the administration of Mayor Ron Littlefield. He resigned from the post when the office combined with the Regional Planning Agency in 2012.
So far, three other candidates have either announced campaigns or submitted qualifying papers for the mayoral race, including Mayor Andy Berke, City Councilman Larry Grohn and Chris Long.
Crockett cites his experience as "a widely-known driving force in Chattanooga's renaissance in the previous two decades."
His announcement also highlights his "long-term, creative role in the city's transformation," including Chattanooga' greenways, Greenway Farm, the Southside redevelopment, Enterprise South and the proposed high-speed rail connection to Atlanta.
"While nurturing a young family and a job with IBM, he helped jumpstart the city's largest neighborhood association collaborative [H.E.L.P.] in Hixson that led to Chattanooga's first community visioning and area plan," said Crockett's announcement. "That led to his activist role in support of other early community-planning initiatives across the city starting with Glenwood and including the Chattanooga Creek neighborhoods in South Chattanooga."
He says he has spoken and worked with city governments, economic development bodies and universities in every state and Canadian province, as well as a number of cities across the globe.
Crockett says he remains "a noted advocate for higher goals for the rebirth of Chattanooga and other cities.
Elections for the Chattanooga mayor and City Council members will be held March 7, in accordance with the city charter.

China in the Way of Nuclear Treaty
Cold War-era missile treaties between the US and Russia haven't completely gone according to plan. Russia has violated missile testing treaties for years and the US finally backed out of a deal the Russians would never agree to. As a result, many of these treaties have gone belly up — except for one: The New START treaty.
Set to expire in 2021, the New START is the last primary arms control agreement that exists between Russia and America. Officials believe this particular agreement may be worth extending if it's just the US and Russia signing up. However, China is standing in the way of refreshing the treaty and may cause the outright demise of New START when the current agreement expires.
Why Keep New START?
As the last major arms treaty between two world superpowers, the New START has limited the proliferation of nuclear weapons for decades. Without it, there are few, if any, realistic limitations placed on the US and Russia to terms of the size of their nuclear stockpiles. Although nuclear proliferation is a form of deterrence, some foreign policy experts believe there are other ways to deal with a potential nuclear war.
Additionally, the effects of this treaty's demise would be global. It could encourage countries like North Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Iran to continue developing their nuclear armaments. These nations are already doing so, but the end of New START would provide them with even more drive and motivation to keep up with bigger world superpowers.
China's Role
US Defense Secretary Mark Esper stated that he believes "multi-lateralizing" the agreement would aid in preventing a ramped up nuclear arms race. This would include bringing China into the fold of this treaty, which is a source of debate within the White House. At the moment, China doesn't match the US or Russia in terms of nuclear capability.
However, the Asian nation is set to double its nuclear stockpiles over the next decade. Sam Nunn, co-chair of the Nuclear Threat Initiative, commented on the situation by claiming that it's better to wait on bringing China into a refreshed New START agreement.
China doesn't have anything like the number of warheads the U.S. and Russia possess. We will at some point have to have China in the equation but that won't happen now. Common sense would be to at least extend a treaty that already exists and work from there.
-Sam Nunn
Beijing has openly denied any willingness to participate in this nuclear treaty. China wants to bolster its own nuclear stockpile before considering any form of restrictions. This is a clear power grab and an unwillingness to compromise.
Russia's Take
Russia, on the other hand, wants to leave China out of the agreement. Its reasoning is that it takes long enough to extend an existing treaty, let alone bringing another entity into the mix. Supposedly, it would take well over a year to negotiate a new treaty with an additional third party.
Unfortunately, there's no easy solution in sight that keeps China in check and Russia continuing to play ball with the US.

Our Employee Giving Campaign gives SampsonRMC employees, volunteers, and medical staff an opportunity to make a charitable contribution to the hospital Foundation. The Foundation funds programs throughout the year that provide employee support for financial crisis and career development.
What is the Employee Giving Campaign?
The Employee Giving Campaign is an outreach effort by the SampsonRMC Foundation to encourage everyone on the Sampson Regional Medical Center team to make charitable contributions in support of the programs and services provided by the hospital. As employees, we all play a key role in the daily care of our patients. Because SampsonRMC is a not-for-profit, we seek and accept donations from grateful patients and their families, community members, corporations, medical staff, and foundations, in addition to employees. Every employee is invited to participate at any point in the year.
Why are donations from employees important?
When our employees give, it sends a meaningful endorsement to the greater community. This is especially important when seeking financial contributions from other sources like corporations and foundations. To tell them that a large number of our employees personally invest in where they work proves the strength of support from those who know SampsonRMC best.
I would like to make a donation, but have additional questions.

One page letter written and signed by Joseph Wheeler to his bitter enemy William M Lowe in which he is pursuing his earlier challenge to duel Lowe. The letter is dated July and I believe he is giving the time, 10:02. This vitriolic feud is covered in John P Dyer's book, Joseph Wheeler on pages 226 and 267. Their rivalry arose from a contested Congressional election in Alabama. "When the House finally decided Lowe was the eligible one to represent the Eight District of Alabama, Wheeler left Washington immediately for his plantation home, there to begin a campaign of vindication. Throughout the summer of 1882 he was busy writing letters, holding conferences, and it was rumored, preparing for a duel with Lowe. He ordered a quantity of revolver ammunition and his friends said went to the mountains near by for target practice. The duel never occurred, however, for Lowe came home to Huntsville in the last stages of tuberculosis and was not able to leave his house before his death in October 1881."
If your agent and your friends are correct in their assertions your health is now restored or so much improved that I am justified in making no further delay in requesting that you designate a time and a place where we can meet and by correspondence arrange necessary preliminaries.
My friend who delivers this is authorized to receive your reply and I will be at any point you designate as quickly as cars will convey me.

This is the most significant of the letters of Smith that I have offered as he mentions his sword which was used to bash in his head at the Battle of Nashville, causing him to spend 47 years of his life in an "insane asylum." Following the transcription there is a history of Smith, one of the youngest and most promising Confederate Generals and his sad end.
This is a two page letter on note sized paper, front to back address to Will Carter dated March 25th 1903. The content of the letter reflects his mental condition.
"You weighed me and Ludy Woodord on your patent scales in the store built by James Turbiville a soldier of the 20th and 81st Tennessee."
Smith was born in Mechanicsville Tennessee in 1838. A bright young man with a gift of mechanical inventiveness, he received a patent for a locomotive pilot at the age of 15. He enrolled in the Nashville Military Academy (Western Military Institute) He was working for the Nashville & Decatur Railroad when the war broke out. He gave up that job to help raise a company of volunteers in and around Triune. That company merged with a group raised by Joel A Battle and eventually became Company B of the 20th Tennessee Infantry.
Smith saw combat action in the Battle of Mill Springs and Shiloh. Smith was promoted to Colonel at the age of 22. Wounded seriously in the Battle of Murfreesboro-Stones River and was out of action for much of 1863. He resumed field duties and led his troops at Baton Rouge, Hoover's Gap & Chickamauga when he was again wounded. He was promoted to Brigadier General on July 29,1864 becoming the youngest General in the Army of Tennessee. At the battle of Franklin, his staff officer Tod Carter was killed within sight of his home and Smith informed the parents and searched the battlefield for his body. During the battle of Nashville, Smith surrendered and was captured by Union Colonel William L McMillan who beat Smith about the head with Smith's own sword, leaving his brain exposed and in a comma. Smith was not expected to live but recovered only to become a prisoner at Fort Warren. Released July 24th, 1865. Smith did some railroad work after the Civil War and ran for a seat in the U S Congress in 1870, but lost. Struggling with the permanent damage he suffered to his brain, Smith spent his last 47 years in an insane asylum in Nashville, appearing occasionally at UCV reunions.
This is a two page letter on the masthead of The Mississippi Historical Society, Columbus which Lee headed. The letter is dated Dec. 16, 1901 and is addressed to Judge J P Young (7th Tennessee Cavalry) Lee is unhappy with mistakes he feels were made in a recent article by Young.
I enclose a letter from Cap't Dinkins, it appears he wrote me and misdirected the letter to Columbus, Ohio. My paper will be in Picayune (newspaper) next Sunday (Dec 21).
Two and a half pages on the masthead of the Agricultural and Mechanical College in Mississippi, of which Lee was President. The letter is addressed to J P Young who fought with the Seventh Tennessee Cavalry and wrote a regimental history of the Seventh along with other books. This letter is the first in a series of letters between the two old soldiers recalling the events that they were both engaged in.
I have written Marcus Wright for "data" about that campaign. If I get what I want I may at least write a partial account of Franklin as you did, and mainly describe the charge of Johnson's division and explain why my corps was not in the battle. There are several reasons why I should do this, but is with reluctance I write any thing about the war, as I firmly believe no participants can write a perfectly fair and unprejudiced account of battles in which he was engaged." Closing comments. Signed S D Lee.
Here are some of the organizations that Lee was associated with: The Mississippi Historical Society, President. United Confederate Veterans, General Commanding, Agricultural and Mechanical College Mississippi, President and War Department, Vicksburg National Military Park Commission.
This is one in a series of letters exchanged between Lee and Young. It is interesting example of commentaries between the old soldiers which continued for years following the Civil War with blame being placed, events revisited and altered by the would be historians.
Here is the transcript of what I was able to read. Lee's hand writing is very difficult to read so the transcription may have some errors.
"I am glad to hear the Scimitar will print my Picayune article. I am much disillusioned by Capt Dinkins' (James) rejoinder; it looks to me as if he has done himself injury as a writer in charge of the Confederate column. He even yet maintains Johnson was in reserve (?) and at times introduces additional comments to show he was & says or virtually says he made no omissions, but (he?) did and claims that …'my division was in the whole thing at Franklin.' He says of his paper 'There is not a ? in it-every statement it contains can be verified by official records"- That is, that only Cheatham & Stewarts's Corps was in reserve and were not engaged.: I will not notice his rejoinder myself, it is not worthy of notice-is "wishy washy" I could not think more highly of his two corps of Cheatham & Stewart, than in the beginning of my article. I see the Vicksburg Herald (25) goes for him in a delicate way in the same paper, in which June 1892 article appeared. I feel since you will fully understand my feelings in the matter in the desire to do justice to a gallant division of my Corps and the memory of the heroic dead.
I hope too, you will in your monograph of Spring Hill, also include Franklin and the correction you have made to Johnson's division.
Closing comments , your comrade & friend, Stephen D Lee.
Two page letter on the masthead of The Mississippi Historical Society which Lee was President of. The letter is dated December 9, 1902. Minor wear. See scans. The letter is addressed to J P Young, an author and officer with the Seventh Tennessee Cavalry. This is one in a series of letters to Young that I purchased. Lee was a very capable commander who had sterling reputation post war as well.
In the Memphis Evening Scimitar Dec 179' 1892, you gave your account of the Battle of Franklin, and left out Johnson's division of S D Lee's Corps (referring to Ed Johnson) In a letter May 1894 you say " to make reparations to your splendid Corps for omission in my article 2 years ago." I called your attention to one omission and you have intended ever since to make the reparations. If you have intended ever since to make the reparations, & no doubt have done so in your ms (manuscript) which has never been published. I have felt you should have corrected your article in the Scimitar if you did I never heard of it.
I mail you today an article in the Daily Picayune, written by Captain James Dinkins which resembles your article very much. (omissions & all) (This is underlined) I have felt I could not wait longer for your manuscript to be published (for I see now) because you have not-the omission of my division ? has virtually gone. Under these circumstances, had I quote from you, would it be out of good taste for you to emphasize my article and the fact of the omission in Dinkins papers.
…more about Dinkins whom he does not think much of and accuses him of altering his paper and other complains. He signs with his full signature Stephen D Lee.
Beautiful 1871 certificate for the Atlantic Mississippi & Ohio Railroad Company made out to Andrew J Kirby and signed by James E Cathbert and William Mahone. No cancel marks to mar the signatures. Measures 11 by 7 inches.
William Mahone was from Southampton County Virginia and was a Confederate General, civil engineer, teacher, Railroad executive and a US Senator Small of statue he was nicknamed "Little Billy". He attended the Virginia Military Institute, worked as a railroad engineer, and was president of the Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad. During the Civil War, he distinguished himself at the Battle of the Crater, leading a successful counterattack that also unfortunately involved the massacre of surrendered black troops.
This is a stock certificate issued by the Central Rail Road & Banking Company of Georgia dated 1887. It has been signed by the Confederate General, Edward Porter Alexander. Folds, large crease and a slightly crumpled appearance. Staple at the top attaching an document that relates to the certificate. Several cancel holes though the signatures, only one affecting Alexander's, affecting the letter N. Alexander is best known as the officer in charge of the massive artillery bombardment preceding Pickett's Charge on the third day of the Battle of Gettysburg, but he is also noted for his early use of signal and observation balloon intelligence in combat and is well regarded for his postwar memoirs and analyses of the war. Measures nine by five inches.
The paper attached to the cancelled bond was issued to Margarita Cress.
The second scan, with the black backing shows where the holes are.
Paypal will not be accepted on this item although payment plans can be arranged.
This wonderful document on vellum bears the personal signature of Andrew Johnson who was known to have used a stamp for many documents due to an injury to his hand. This is not a stamped signature and I guarantee it's authenticity. Some separations at the folds, the worst being near Johnson's signature which can be seen in the scan. Large edge tears on the right edge with the document being folded back in two places.
The pardon was issued to John Miller of Petersburg Virginia who "by taking part in the late rebellion against the Government of the United States" was pardoned on the twentieth-sixth day of June 1865. Note that the document does not contain the signature of Secretary of State Seward as usual as he was still recuperating from his assassination attempt wounds from April 14th.
There are over 100 John Millers in Virginia Confederate Regiments.

From ABC news, comes this heartwarming story.
All the whiskey in Fite's attic was bottled in 1917 and distilled between 1912 and 1913. Fite, a self-proclaimed history buff, said the four bottles of Hellman's Celebrated Old Crow whiskey he found may have been among the last of their kind. In 1918, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of Edson Bradley, the maker of the still-popular Old Crow whiskey bottled by the makers of Jim Beam, allowing him exclusive rights to the "Old Crow" label.
In addition to the Old Crow bottles, Fite's attic was keeping cool a few bottles of Guckenheimer, the erstwhile Pennsylvania rye whiskey, and W. H. McBrayer's Cedar Brook whiskey.
Thirteen unopened bottles of pre-Prohibition whiskey! Wowzas!
And what does, Mr. Fite plan to do with his treasure trove?
In 2017, when the bottles turn 100, Fite and his friends will pop them open, he said. But for now, they are simply antiques.
An admirable decision, sir. I salute you.
I would also name you an honorary Liquor Locusts, but the true Liquor Locusts would have had the first bottle already opened in the attic, and likely be through the rest in the next couple of months.

Revision as of 13:48, 13 June 2020 by Bberg (talk | contribs) (Updated extant info.)
The 4004 development work was performed at Intel's original headquarters at 365 E. Middlefield Rd., Mountain View, CA, which is not extant. The engineering design team moved to Intel's new headquarters at 3065 Bowers Ave., Santa Clara, CA (later called Santa Clara 1, or "SC1") in 1971, prior to the November 1971 product launch. This left only the Fab 1 facility in Mountain View, where the MCS-4 Micro Computer Chip Set was manufactured for at least its first year of production. SC1 is extant and retains the SC1 designation, is no longer Intel's Headquarters, and is not accessible to the public. SC1 is 2.1 miles from the Intel Museum site.
Cognizant of financial troubles at Busicom, and sensing the market potential of the product, Intel returned their $60,000 design fee to Busicom and agreed to sell them the chip set at a lower cost in exchange for Busicom's surrendering of its exclusive rights. With complete ownership of the chip set, Intel's rollout in November 1971 touted "Announcing a new era of integrated electronics: A micro-programmable computer on a chip!" After a campaign to educate the engineering community about the MCS-4 chip family, it began to find a home in control applications including traffic lights and taxi meters. While these initial usages were relatively unsophisticated, they represented a power and flexibility never before possible.
The MCS-4 family consisted of: 4001 (ROM), 4002 (RAM), 4003 (Shift Register) and 4004 (CPU), and each device had a pin count of only 16. While this low pin count reduced manufacturing cost, it also necessitated a cumbersome 4-bit bi-directional data bus for the communication of 12-bit addresses and 8-bit instructions amongst these 4 devices, a scheme implemented using time-division multiplexing and a fixed 8-click time clock in which each of the 8 clicks had an agreed direction and purpose, and as further described in U.S. Patent 3,821,715 [1]. While performance thereby suffered by a factor of 2.5, the 5x speed and 2x size improvements enabled by the use of silicon-gate MOS technology (which also allowed the chip to be small enough to fit into a 16-pin package) resulted in a family of devices whose overall system functionality was not impaired. A similar approach was applied to the 18-pin 8008 (introduced in 1972), sacrificing speed and requiring 35 external ICs to interface the chip to memory and I/O. Using a 40-pin package, Intel's highly successful 8080 microprocessor finally replaced the 8008 in 1974.

The Bahamas Will Launch A Digital Central Bank 'Sand Dollar' In October
Rapyd Broadens Its Senior Leadership Team with Three New Hires
The Kazakh government is considering a three-pronged proposal designed to make crypto miners pay much more for operating in the country, which could make Kazakhstan less attractive to the industry.
On Feb. 4, Kazakhstan's First Vice Minister of Finance, Marat Sultangaziyev, proposed a price increase from $0.0023 per Kwh to $0.01 (around a 335% increase) specifically for crypto miners. He also proposed a tax on each individual graphics card (GPU) and each piece of equipment needed for crypto mining. He likened the tax-per-video card to the way casinos are taxed for each table they run, whether or not the table is active.
The third part of his proposal was to remove mining hardware from an exemption on value-added tax (VAT).
Up until political unrest caused the government to restrict internet access last month, Kazakhstan has become one of the most popular destinations for crypto miners following the China ban on mining last summer. Around Jan. 5, the Bitcoin network's hash rate plummeted by 13.4% in a day from about 205 exahashes per second (EH/s) to 177 EH/s due to the brief shut down in Kazakhstan.
Cheap electricity costs and proximity to China have attracted miners fleeing from Chinese authorities amid crackdowns in the country. This led Kazakhstan to become the second-largest producer of hash power for Bitcoin behind the United States, producing about 18% of the network's hashrate as of August 2021 according to Cambridge University. It may become less desirable for new and existing miners to call it their base of operations if the crippling taxation proposals come into force.
It should also be noted that Kazakhstan has struggled with power supply issues since late last year, around the same time when crypto miners rushed in from China. The country saw an 8% increase in domestic electricity consumption through 2021, leading the government to consider building a nuclear power plant to ease the stress on the power grid and keep energy costs low.
Inexpensive electricity seems to be the single most important factor attracting miners. Cointelegraph reported on Jan. 27 that the U.S. cannot provide the cheapest electricity and therefore "cannot hold on to the mining champion title for long." Removing that advantage from miners in Kazakhstan could spell doom for the country's ambitions to extract $1.5 billion from miners within the next 5 years.

I've always loved good questions. Questions that inspire me to exercise mental creativity in answering them. I selfishly look for books that spark that creative fun, that impel me to look around for a pen to scribble in the margins. Frankly, the rigor of the writing doesn't matter that much in my choice of what to read - from Malcolm Gladwell's What the Dog Saw to Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions - as long as it sparks that "ohh that's such an interesting question" moment.
All the questions I've asked myself to date have brought me here:
Why don't I remember being before? (age 6)
Why doesn't my sister think the way I do? (age 10)
How can I become the best? (age 13)
What does it feel like to not be? (age 15)
What does it feel like to be on the verge of not being? (age 16)
How do I take my life and time to its utmost limits? (age 17)
How do I think of someone else when I never have before? (age 18)
How do I get better, always? (age 19)
What do I want to do? (age 20)
Do I have it in me to jump off a cliff? (age 21)
Can I build a sustainable closeness and sharing with another human being? (age 22)
What do I really believe? What is truth? (age 23)
How do I design my life? (age 24)
How can I be present in my life? (age 25)
How much am I willing to pay for what I love? (age 26)
How can I become more human? (age 27)
How can I push the boundaries of what I know? (age 28)
Who am I? (age 29)
Out of all the things that people want, what do I need? (age 30)
What will my choices be? (age 31)
And also, all the other interesting questions along the way:
Should humanity optimize for happiness or non-extinction?
Is there a way to achieve the same liquidity as the financial system without the associated costs (e.g. transaction, coordination)?
Is it possible to trade pure time as currency?
Is there any fundamental reason except power and efficacy that individuals own natural resources?
Are there good reasons for government to exist?
Is the essence of being human empathy or free will?
Are children closer to animals than human?
How is art competitively differentiated vis-a-vis other genres?
Can native freedoms have a cost attached?
How much control can we have over our own biochemical state?
Will it ever be possible to "know" ourselves, down to our biochemistry and below?
Is the war for attention inevitably a rat race?
Will we ever be able to scale education?
How can we converge principles and outcomes?
Is differentiation the answer to the status syndrome?
In a world of disparate values, is radical transparency really the answer to the trust gap?
What is the right balance of openness and closedness to optimize for creativity?
What is the right level of empathy to have?
Would the world be better if there was a universal language?
As our lives get shorter, as we get older, what does that mean for how we approach the world as individuals?
Should individuals be allowed to discriminate?
How do we manage our memory and the stories of our lives?
How do you rebuild a society that lacks trust?
Do reparations beyond the victimized generation make sense?
What is the right portfolio of strong ties vs. weak ties vs. spending time with oneself?
Is it possible to reach an equilibrium in an environment of increasing individual power, or are there inevitable limits (state control) or end-states (mass destruction)?
How do we break free of the silent ties that bind us and be the deus ex machina of our own and other people's lives, while still being human and connected?
I could create a list ten times as long but it would get tiring to both write and read. Suffice to say, through one lens, who I am has been shaped by questions and the few answers I've pieced together.
But I've been developing this inkling for awhile now... maybe because I live in SF, maybe because of where I am in my life, and just maybe because of where the world is now in its life stages. It's that while the questions are still important, how we answer them should maybe be different than how most of us askers have done in the past. That instead of just thinking and talking about the answers, we should answer by doing.
Ah, energetic ho hum. Business-making, authorship, conference-gathering, presentations, bit o' analysis. All good things, often with more than a dash of creativity required. But in the muted gold rush happening now, the tidal wave of market efficiency flooding the plains, are the big questions being answered? And in this melee, are these big questions being answered in a way that meets their stature squarely in the field?
What if instead of talking about it, we tried something. Moved a toe forward. Willed an action into being, an action that required a risk that we accepted and incurred, one that would never have happened otherwise. Maybe something more than a startup, a financial investment, a blog post. Something that changes the fabric of the world we live in, and its design.
I'm going to put my virtual pen down now, for a little while.


this is my first time i made a competition like this, and it was an amazing experience, I almost get mad at some point and I finished to upload just 3 minutes before compo ends. After that I realized that we (compo entries) had 1 more hour to upload the project, so I make builds for OS X and Windows. I couldn't make for Linux.
I've tested a lot of great games that could be amazings hits on stores like AppStore. And the mos awesome thing is that compos were made by one person in such a short time.
Cheers to all of u great developers, and thanx to the people that make ludum dare. Think I'll be participating in te next one, and the next, and the next after that.

Hi there! This will be my first LD. Wish me luck!
i would apreciate any suggestion for doing this LD, im going for the compo, cuz want to do the code, music, art (2d/3d) all by myself and see what happens.
also will share the project with the code as best commented as i can (cuz im from argentina and we speak spanish haha). But ill do my best.


"Just to sit in this dark place and see magic take place on the wall. For a moment we forgot there was apartheid. We forgot there was a world that wasn't good. We sat there and were carried away by the dream of these American movies."
Like millions of other black South Africans who grew up during the reign of apartheid, veteran actor John Kani saved his pennies for the weekly pilgrimage to the pictures on Saturday night. His memories and thoughts are just some of the many included in this fascinating "must-see" documentary about the varied, and often paradoxical, relationship cinema has had with the apartheid system and the South African people.
For young blacks in the townships, B-grade US gangster films and westerns — and the few black actors in them — opened their eyes to other places and other cultures, and allowed them to escape the grim reality of apartheid for a while.
Township youth in the '50s were soon sporting hats raked at steep angles and flashy double-breasted suits in imitation of tough guys Richard Widmark and Bogart, or the latest Harlem "zoot suits". Young men showed off their "can't gets" — flashy Florsheim shoes and Stetson hats, unavailable in South Africa, imported directly by catalogue from New York.
Film gangsters offered an example of an alternative way of life apparently free of control of the white "baas". Tsotsis gangs cruised the streets of Sophiatown in the big North American cars and spoke a dialect that mixed US slang with African languages, English and Afrikaans. Township music and dance were irreversibly influenced by the music of African-American jazz and dance glimpsed in the music shorts of Cab Calloway and Louis Jordan.
White-owned South African film companies moved to break the Hollywood monopoly and make films for the black market, mainly lightweight racist musicals. Regardless of this, blacks celebrated the arrival of their first film stars as a victory. In Jim Comes to Jo'burg, the ignorance of the white producers allowed a scene with singing workers that included the subversive lyrics, "To hell with these goddamn white men who make us work so hard and pay us nothing".
The late '50s also saw the first films to question apartheid and sympathise with the black majority. The first of note was the 1951 film version of Alan Paton's Cry, The Beloved Country starring Sidney Poitier. At the same time as it alerted the world to the awful conditions in South Africa, blacks criticised its paternalism and liberalism. This paradox was brought to life by the fact that the film premiered in Johannesburg to a whites-only audience, in the presence of D.F. Malan, apartheid's architect.
Another film, however, gave black South Africans the chance to speak out for themselves for the first time. Progressive US director Lionel Rogosin collaborated closely with the circle of nationalist intellectuals associated with now legendary Sophiatown-based Drum magazine — giants such as Bloke Modisane, Can Themba and Ezekiel Mphahlele — to produce the watershed film Come Back, Africa in 1957. Actors were cast from bus queues, and the film included an amazing scene set in a shebeen in which Modisane, Themba and others heatedly debate in scathing terms the attitude of white liberals toward their struggle.
The openings to make dissident films were firmly closed following the 1960 Sharpeville massacre and the state of emergency. For more tha a decade, all that emerged from South Africa were crude government propaganda and inane Afrikaans films that ignored the existence of apartheid.
Hollywood throughout took a typically opportunist approach of making money from black audiences while peddling racist and pro-apartheid storylines. US film moguls happily accepted the apartheid regime's censorship ratings, which lumped black adults in the same category as white children, ignoring black calls for intervention. Westerns were remade with Zulus recast in the place of "Indians" and Boers in the place of cowboys. Twentieth Century Fox even signed a deal with the regime to provide world distribution for apartheid propaganda films.
In the '70s and '80s, with the upsurge of the struggle and a growing worldwide sympathy for the black majority, South Africa began again to be a source of film stories. Hollywood wanted commercial stories, and it was no longer possible for major studios to be oblivious to their political content.
Films like Cry Freedom (1987), based on the relationship between Black Consciousness leader Steve Biko and liberal newspaper editor Donald Woods, reignited the debate around white liberal interpretations of the struggle against apartheid in film. While expressing appreciation for the anti-apartheid sentiments of the film, black critics like Professor Mbulelo Mzamane point out that the "conventions of Hollywood, but also a long tradition of racism, demand that [Hollywood movies] look through the eyes of a white star, a white hero ... [Cry Freedom] does not avoid the trap that Biko was teaching about: the tendency of white liberals to appropriate the struggle of black people and enunciate it in terms that are palatable to them."
Actor John Matshikiza adds, "When Donald Woods steps into the centre of the frame, the struggle of the black people, which is the most significant struggle in South Africa, appears to become something that can only be resolved by, yet again, leadership by a member of the white community".
More positive, however, were black director Euzhan Palcy's A Dry White Season (1989) and Oliver Schmitz and Thomas Mogotlane's Mapantsula (1988).
With the end of apartheid, South African film makers are optimistic that a new era will open in which the black majority will no longer have to rely only on well-meaning whites to put their side of the story. Let's hope that is true.

William Faulkes (1863-1933), composer, organist, pianist, arranger, recitalist, teacher, chamber musician, conductor, musical organizer. Remarkably, for a composer so fluent and prolific, Faulkes was consistently omitted from the major dictionaries of music. From time to time, he is found in smaller more specific dictionaries – or perhaps more correctly, directories from the late 19th and early 20th century. In these, Faulkes is sometimes described as a leader of the modern English school of organ playing; or a leading composer of the English romantic school of organ playing.
Born in Liverpool, at the age of 10 became a chorister at St. Margaret's Church, Anfield, which was the largest brick church in England, and had the largest organ in Liverpool. At the age of 18, he was appointed organist of St. John's, Tue Brook, and five years later returned to St. Margaret's. He had a fine all-male (all volunteer) choir, and the level of musical excellence at the church was significant. As an organist, he was a brilliant performer, and earned the admiration of the leading British organist of the time, W. T. Best.
"Elégie" was published by Schott in 1894, and is dedicated "To W. Dawson, Esq." William Dawson (1851-1924) was (I believe) organist of Hope Street Unitarian Church in Liverpool.
This fine work, "Adagio" in the key of F Minor, is sort of a cross between a stylized funeral march and a dirge. It is dark and thick with extensive use of 16' manual and 32' pedal stops, but the effect is fine, with good harmonic and melodic interest.
The middle section in A-flat, "Poco piu mosso" makes for a nice, "traditional" contrasting central section.
If you listen, you may notice how you hear the diapasons "speaking." No matter how legato I played it, it still sounds a bit too "articulated."
The score is attached below, as well as two photos of William Faulkes, and two, including a NEW one of St. Margaret's, Anfield.
I still have not found any photos of the interior.

For brainfood this week I've been reading Jim Krane's excellent book City of Gold: Dubai and the Dream of Capitalism. It's like an extremely entertaining real-life soap opera, an epic Dallas in the Desert.
Hence my posting of this video recently commissioned by Dubai's Crown Prince, His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum. It's a timelapse filmed from Dubai's (and the world's) tallest tower, the Burj Khalifa, and the Burj Al Arab (which sets a far weirder height record with the world's highest-altitude tennis court). You'd never guess that as late as the 1960s this hallucination of a city was a Bedouin badlands.
I haven't seen Mission Impossible 4 yet but I figure this video is almost as good, minus Tom Cruise. Actually maybe that's a plus?
Your writing IS energetic and filled with a plethora of intriguing connections. I'm going to keep reading.
Okay, that extended high point in the writing zone is awaiting you.
Ps. Those are familiar hallucinations; I lived in that wild and zany Dubai for seventeen months.
Also: I love anagrams. I just tried to make one with the word anagram, but nothing doing.
Also: Thanks for saying hi!
Just trying to impress you. I love your mind because it's so quick, and you're able to write such dark-enlightening-comedic-engaging stuff. Chilbert—I wonder if he falls victim to his own device, but I admire his tenacity and single-mindedness.
Ah, Dubai. My friend played beach volleyball with Sheikh Hamdan a few times. I've seen the royals shopping at a mall, after they arrived in an iridescent Bentley and hugged each other. Dubai isn't as crazy as say, Nepal's hilarious grittiness, but does elicit laughs at the obstacles of building its lovable absurdities. Day-to-day consisted of 160 kph driving to work, living next to artificial islands and lagoon, and going to interesting happenings.
As for the excerpts, what comes to mind with ProbR, is Clif High's Web Bot Project that predicts events and trends of the world's cultural pulse of building and release.
Ridiculous startups (for the last excerpt): a company that promotes 1) a device which takes cues from everything you do to produce a design for a future house which truly is a mirror of the self. Or, 2) A machine that calculates realtime, the architectonic of your life, including main goals & meanings, then pings when a suggested person, event, or way of doing something would help you achieve the vision.
Three months later I'm finally responding to your lovely comment. I hope you'll accept my latest blog post as a kind of apology; I was down and out for a bit there, but now I'm back.
If we meet IRL someday I need more detail about these wacky anecdotes. Also how come you've been to so many amazing places? Is it weird that I want to live in that Lacan House? But I digress.
I hope you've been well, and all kindsa big thanks for your conversation and support.

Chevening Scholars were invited to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) to discuss issues of education and development with the FCO's Special Envoy for Gender Equality, Joanna Roper, and the Kenyan Cabinet Secretary for Education, Amina Mohamed.
This roundtable meeting came as the UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson made the case for global leaders to commit to educating the world's most marginalised girls. He pledged that Britain would provide both political and financial leadership to ensure that girls across the Commonwealth receive 12 years of quality education by 2030.
Chevening and Commonwealth Scholars from Kenya earlier met with Amina Mohamed and Joanna Roper to discuss issues of education, with a special focus on education in Kenya.
Alphonce Shiundu, a Kenyan scholar studying at the University of Westminster, acknowledged that the roundtable presented a unique opportunity to probe into the challenges currently facing Kenya's education system, to ask difficult questions, but also to understand senior policymakers' view on these challenges and the opportunities that they give rise to, including the potential to partner with the UK in areas of mutual benefit.
John Mukabi Njeri, studying International Development at the University of Manchester, explained that topics of conversation ranged from academic staff development, Kenya's 'free education' policy, technical and vocational training for young people, and education's role in supporting Kenya's development ambitions.
Amina Mohamed spoke frankly with scholars about the challenges she faces in her role as education secretary. She reminded them of their responsibility to return to Kenya in order to use the knowledge and networks gained in the UK to help solve some of Kenya's development challenges, which aligns with Chevening's aim of developing future leaders who will return home to bring positive change to their communities, sectors, and countries.
