Creative Destruction, Technology Disruption, and Growth
The origins of modern technological change provide the context necessary to understand present-day technological transformation, to investigate the impact of the new digital technologies, and to examine the phenomenon of digital disruption of established industries and occupations. How these contemporary technologies will transform industries and institutions, or serve to create new industries and institutions, will unfold in time. The implications of the relationships between these pervasive new forms of digital transformation and the accompanying new business models, business strategies, innovation, and capabilities are being worked through at global, national, corporate, and local levels. Whatever the technological future holds it will be defined by continual adaptation, perpetual innovation, and the search for new potential. Presently, the world is experiencing the impact of waves of innovation created by the rapid advance of digital networks, software, and information and communication technology systems that have transformed workplaces, cities, and whole economies. These digital technologies are converging and coalescing into intelligent technology systems that facilitate and structure our lives. Through creative destruction, digital technologies fundamentally challenge existing routines, capabilities, and structures by which organizations presently operate, adapt, and innovate. In turn, digital technologies stimulate a higher rate of both technological and business model innovation, moving from producer innovation toward more user-collaborative and open-collaborative innovation. However, as dominant global platform technologies emerge, some impending dilemmas associated with the concentration and monopolization of digital markets become salient. The extent of the contribution made by digital transformation to economic growth and environmental sustainability requires a critical appraisal.

Patriot came up with a basic package design for the Zephyr that shows the drive and capacity in the window and has some basic information on the front of the package.
On the back we found some general data on the drive as well as the three year warranty, but no performance data was given and the JMicron controller was omitted completely.
The inner package keeps the drive secure for shipping, but the Zephyr doesn't include additional accessories like a SATA cable or software disk.

Could boxing be a secret weapon the fight against anxiety and depression?
Could boxing be a secret weapon in the fight against anxiety and depression?
It's no secret that exercise benefits mood and how we feel. Countless studies have linked physical activity to lower levels of anxiety, depression and stress. And it's not just a heavy HIIT session that will help you see results – everything from long walks to calming yoga sessions could see an improvement in how you feel.
The link between being physically active and mental health has even seen the rise in walk and talk therapy – where therapists combine the benefits of communicative therapy sessions with gentle exercise. Counselling and sport psychologist Jennifer Carter, PhD, told the American Psychological Association that these sort of sessions encourage patients to open up. "I think clinical and counseling psychologists could do a better job of incorporating exercise into treatment," she explained.
"I was extremely unsporty growing up - and was always put in the bottom group in PE. Just four years ago I would get out of breath just running to the end of the street. A friend encouraged me to try boxing and I haven't looked back. It's the one form of exercise I've tried where I don't clock watch and actually look forward to classes. I've now been boxing for those four years and it's had a very positive impact on my life - making me more confident and providing a space to de-stress. It has made me much fitter and healthier generally. I'm now motivated to go running to maintain my fitness, I am stronger and more toned, it has improved my sleep and made me more conscious of eating healthily and taking care of my body.
"As well as my passion for boxing, I am passionate about improving the lives of people experiencing difficulties with mental health. Since graduating from the University of Cambridge with an MPhil in Psychology, I have worked in many different areas of mental health in clinical and research roles – including running support groups and 1:1 sessions with clients with depression and anxiety. I currently work as an Assistant Psychologist with clients with chronic pain."
"Boxing helps people experiencing difficulties with mental health in many ways. Firstly, the exercise provides a rush of endorphins – a natural mood booster. Classes can help to relieve symptoms of anxiety and depression by focusing the mind and body in the present moment and taking people away from ruminating thoughts or worries. It provides a source of distraction as individuals engage with a fun activity that they look forward to and make new friends in the sociable and supportive group setting. Boxing instills a sense of achievement, building confidence and self-esteem. Classes provide a controlled and safe environment to release any frustration, stress and anger. Boxing encourages a healthier lifestyle, which benefits physical and mental wellbeing, sleep, eating, and self-care and compassion."
"Working with clients who have both physical and mental health concerns highlighted the direct relationship between the two and how improvements in one can have positive effects on the other. This, along with the psychological and physical benefits I felt from boxing myself, inspired me to set up boxing classes for people experiences mental health difficulties.
"I was motivated to find a suitable boxing gym and work, voluntarily, with them to set up the classes and bring my idea to life. I chose to approach Miguel's Boxing Gym because they offer a wide range of classes catering to people with different needs and level of experience, such as a 'Fit to Work - Stress Relieving' class for unemployed individuals and a 'Beat Obesity' class. I also felt the gym was very friendly with warm, approachable staff and a sociable atmosphere.
"The team were also very supportive and arranged for me to meet Sarah, the boxing coach who now runs the exercise part of the class, to discuss and plan the classes. Sarah also has previous experience working with and supporting clients with mental health problems so felt she had insight into what would work well."
What does a class entail?
"The classes start with 45-50 minutes of boxing exercises on the bags and circuits run by Sarah. There's no sparring or contact involved - we are mindful that vulnerable individuals could find that triggering or distressing. We then have a 10-15 minutes 'wind-down' at the end. During the boxing exercises and circuits I help the coach with demonstrations, wander round to check how everyone is doing and encourage and reassure anyone needing support.
"We try to motivate people to push themselves to get as much out of the class as they can. However, both Sarah and I are also careful to provide a safe space and atmosphere of trust and openness - we encourage anyone to let us know their limits, if they need space or breaks, or if there is anything they are unhappy about. I facilitate the 'wind down' part of the class where we come together as a group to share and reflect on the class, the past week, how we're feeling, how the boxing made us feel, and anything else anyone is open to sharing. We incorporate elements of mindfulness, relaxation and breathing exercises into this part, depending on what the group would like to try. We are not providing therapy or treatment, rather a space for people to share their feelings, practise ways of coping with anxiety or depression and to benefit from group support."
"We have had a range of ages, women and men, from different backgrounds, attending the classes. Lots of people have come along who don't know anyone but everyone's really friendly and mixes with each other.
"Depression and anxiety are the most common mental health concerns among those who attend, and classes are designed to try and help with that. We have been fortunate enough to have our classes promoted as an event in The London Depression & Associated Problems MeetUp group, which has generated a lot of interest and many members have come along to classes from it.
"We have run six classes so far and had very positive, enthusiastic feedback, which is very motivating. We already have some regulars. Someone from the class explained that often there's this idea of fragility surrounding mental health so to be able to go to a class, which recognises that you may have mental health problems without being patronising (by trying to minimise the effort/intensity) is empowering and fun. While other people have said that the high energy workout provided by the boxing sessions really helps to release stress whilst keeping fit - and the relaxation and mindfulness at the end is a great combination for managing their anxiety and depression."

CBC Symphony Hall
Publish Date: March 14, 2004
Martinů concerto exceptional
Hats off to the CBC for bringing last November's performance by the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra to the nation's airwaves. This varied program proved once more that the small-orchestra repertoire can be just as satisfying as its romantic-rich competitors, if only the public would venture out in large numbers to partake of music by non "brand-name" composers. Throughout the entire broadcast, the MCO provided unquestionable commitment and musicianship, showing once again how fortunate we are to have an ensemble of this calibre in the heart of the country.
Guest Conductor Marc David (also music director of the Newfoundland Symphony) teamed up with pianist David Jalbert (cross-reference below) for two works that, stylistically, couldn't have been further apart.
Their first collaboration was Bach's F Minor Concerto. As the media-described heir apparent to Glenn Gould and André Laplante, Jalbert has large shoes to fill. Unfortunately, in the first movement the impression was more like boots with a too-heavy-by-half approach. It was fully three-quarters of the way in before the predominant brittleness vanished, leaving the lines to find rather than push their way into our ears. The oft-transcribed "Largo" was affable rather than affectionate; it was a losing proposition for Jalbert to attempt matching his left-hand octaves with the same texture as the pizzicato strings.
The "Presto" fared best, requiring only a shade more zest and nimbler post-tie execution in the violins to lift this performance from good to great.
The seldom heard Martinů Concerto that followed was an entirely different matter. From the opening exclamation point, jazzing its way down to a driving, uneasy landscape filled with punchy ostinatos and biting counterpoint, it was obvious that this reading would yield an exceptional result. David and Jalbert were finally on the same wavelength, the former guiding his able charges through this dramatic score while his colleague knew precisely when to lead, follow or join the tympani and complete the percussion section.
The haunting second movement proved to be the musical glue of the whole. After the near-perfect opening statement and the literal stretching of the violins to the heavens, the darkest ideas of the piece were ominously set up by the magnificent lower strings then seamlessly placed in Jalbert's sensitive hands. Once there, the soloist pushed and pulled with forethought and sculpted the inner tension with finesse. Coming back a second time he unlocked and exquisitely shared the composer's underlying rage, further unleashed with frightening trills that required the balm of the strings, then the tympani's half-time echo of the ostinato pizzicati to relieve. Only then could the piano's triplets attempt a reconciliation that merged into a homophonic line before everyone let the music wind down to rare consonance, resigned rather than resolved. Magnificent.
The Finale flew off at a frantic pace, the keyboard now punching out its contributions. The action never let up. Relentless running passages, then rude accents were strewn amongst the trills, pizzicati, snaps and tremoli that even the legato themes couldn't tame. It took a mighty roll from the drums to corral the ideas—new and remembered—leaving us with a message that certainly resonates in today's harrowing world.
The earlier part of the concert showcased David's skills. In the opening Bree, the antiphonal challenges of four quartets sitting separately were handled well and beautifully captured by the CBC's recording engineer.
The slow movements of Janáček's Idylle, were rendered with confidence and lovingly shaped, particularly the child-like themes of the first movement, which were brought to life with panache. The faster movements didn't have the same authority, taking too long to settle into the pulse.
But we'll never know how the fourth and sixth movements came across, for, unmentioned in the introductory comments, those two vanished into thin air: Listeners beware! JWR

SPILL ALBUM REVIEW: THE CLAUDETTES - DANCE SCANDAL AT THE GYMNASIUM!
SPILL ALBUM REVIEW: ...AND WE ALL DIE - MODERN DAY PRIVATEERS (REMIXES) + OUTTAKES
SPILL ALBUM REVIEW: FIELD REPORT – SUMMERTIME SONGS
Summertime Songs
Verve Label Group
The opening lyric of "Summertime", mid-way into folk-rock band Field Report's third album Summertime Songs, is almost a dare: "She said 'Why don't you try summertime songs?" In his own particular way, frontman and lyricist Porterfield has complied, calling this newest release "our version of a Summer record… it's a pop record". Indeed, Field Report has returned with a fuller, more approachable sound than previously. But there is a restlessness hanging in the wide-open air. Give Summertime Songs a few listens and Porterfield's characteristic vulnerability bubbles to the surface through his confessional lyrics and the cracks in his voice, supported effectively by newly rolling lush instrumentals and production.
Portersfield's writing shines most when he is storytelling, such as in "Blind Spot":
"I woke up blacked out in a snowstorm
With an airbag burn on my cheek
Check the wreckage, walk away ok
I'm gonna change
Swearing to and plowing through the trees."
He also has an eye for the affectingly mundane, as in "Occupied Mind": "The week the dog went deaf I called for her all night/ When I found her I stared into her big, dumb eyes and mouthed 'everything's all right."
However, while Porterfield is primarily known for his ability as a lyricist, he is sometimes at his strongest in those areas of honesty that arrive when one is at a loss for words. On the outro of "Every Time", he finds a searing depth of emotion through the repetition of a simple phrase. The more upbeat, filled-out musicality of Summertime Songs lifts these pared-down, direct lyrics, and is a welcome new direction, seeing the addition of electric guitar, synth, and backing vocals throughout.
The album finishes with the surprisingly torchlight-jazzy, and most brokenly romantic song of the bunch, "Everything I Need". It's a fitting finale, with Portersfield aching through the lyrics: "Baby I don't trust this moment but I want to believe, When everything is changing you are everything I need." There's grit in there – despair about politics, anxiety about the frailty of the future – but there's also love, and hope.
For Field Report, big summer skies carry heavy, humid pain, but they are also a place for dreamers. It's that relentless optimism in the face of unease that ultimately makes Summertime Songs so endearing.

Police Advisory On Internet Love Scams
The number of internet love scam cases reported between January and March 2020 is a concern. Internet love scam cases increased by 33.6% (44 cases) to 175 cases between January to March 2020, from 131 cases in the same period last year. The total amount cheated decreased to at least S$6.6 million between January to March 2020, from at least S$7.1 million in the same period last year.
In these scams, victims typically befriended scammers on social media platforms or vice versa, and developed relationships with them. This was despite the victims having never met the other party face to face before. From January to April 2020, Facebook and Instagram have consistently remained as the two most common platforms that victims have been approached on.
In most cases, the scammers claimed to have sent parcels containing luxury items or large sums of money to the victims from overseas, but the parcels were detained by the authorities. The scammers would then request the victims to make payments on their behalf in order to secure the release of the items.
To further convince victims that their claim was legitimate, scammers have also been known to enlist the help of an accomplice, who would claim to be a staff from a courier company or government agency, and inform the victim that the parcels had been detained for inspection by the authorities, and that they were required to transfer money to local or foreign bank accounts for fictitious reasons such as taxes, fines or anti-money laundering charges. The victims were also threatened with the possibility of prosecution if they failed to send the money.
In other cases, the scammers would ask for money to be transferred electronically from the victims to help them overcome exigencies or financial hardships. Such requests would often take place multiple times, with the amount being requested often starting small, and progressively increasing as the scammers continued to build trust with the victims. Victims eventually realised that they were scammed, when the scammers became uncontactable. By then, they would often have already transferred large amounts of money to the scammers.
To avoid falling prey to these scams, members of the public are advised to be careful when befriending strangers online. They should also be wary when asked to send money to people whom they do not know or have not met in person before. If they are contacted by a stranger via the phone, demanding for payment to a bank account in relation to government fines or charges, remain calm and stop communicating with him immediately, because this is most probably a scam.
For more information on scams, members of the public can visit scamalert.sg or call the Anti-Scam Hotline at 1800-722-6688. Anyone with information on such scams may also call the Police hotline at 1800-255 0000 or submit information online at www.police.gov.sg/iwitness.

Consultation and estimate – We like to begin the process with a meeting to understand what you hope to accomplish with your new project. We ask questions about how you live and how you anticipate using the space. We try to find out if there is anything you really don't like about your current space and anything you want included in the new space. After our initial meeting we follow up with a preliminary or design proposal which outlines our shared vision for the project and explains how we can continue moving forward. At this stage we also include a detailed estimate of cost set within a range of expected values. This spreadsheet will later become the guiding document for future budgeting and finals costs.
Design process - If you are utilizing a design professional that you hired directly, we will work with them in an advisory capacity. If you are using one of our design professionals we will be simultaneously working on design and budget so that the process is streamlined and so you know the impact of decisions you are making prior to completion of the plans. Once the plans are completed, the budgeting process can deliver a final price for your project and we will be ready for permitting and construction.
Permits – Upon issuing final plans, we will distribute them to the key trades that require permits. This usually includes plumbing, gasfitting and electrical. Each of our trade partners will secure the appropriate permits for their trade. TSC will secure the general building permit.
Pre-construction- For projects lasting more than a few weeks, we will schedule a preconstruction meeting with client, a TSC principal or your salesperson, a TSC project manager, and the design professional. Day to day operations, company policies, client requests and any other concerns are addressed at this time. This is the foundation for a smooth project and open, clear communication.
Construction – Once we begin construction, there will be an on-site working project manager everyday. The manager will organize and supervise the job site, all trade partners, TSC staff and material handling. On a weekly basis we hold a site meeting to review the status of the project and discuss any decisions that need to be made. This weekly meeting is very useful in keeping the project on schedule and everyone up to date on the status of tings. We maintain site meeting notes and distribute minutes to each attendee.
Punch-list – One the project reaches substantial completion we assemble a punchlist to close out the project for you. Items from TSC, the design professional and the client are all merged onto a punch list and that document constitutes the work needed to properly close out the job for you.
Completion – Once the job is complete, your warranty will begin and anything that comes up after the punchlist is completed will be taken care of for you during the warranty period.

Hurt at work? Read what to do below.
If you were injured while performing your job duties, the first and most important thing to do is to report the injury to your supervisor.
In New York, your employer is required to help you get treatment to restore any damage sustained while you're fulfilling your work duties, but you have to remember that in all legal processes, "if it isn't documented, then it didn't happen." In other words, if there's no evidence, you can't demonstrate that the damage happened while you were working.
This is why an accident report should be filled out immediately at the time of the accident. Most injuries become less visible as time goes by, so it's very important to document ALL damages with written reports and photographs as soon as possible.
The next most important thing to do is to be seen by a doctor immediately after the accident, and ideally to go to the emergency room. The doctor's notes are the best evidence of the complete extent of the injury when the time comes to have your treatment approved. Be sure that the doctor knows about all of your injuries, as physicians sometimes don't think about injuries to the teeth and jaws, since it's an area they don't usually treat. Remember, if it's not documented, it didn't happen!
Finally, see a worker's comp dentist as close to the accident as possible. Broken teeth will stay broken until fixed, but injuries to the gums and jaw joints (TMJs) may not be as obvious if you wait, and the more information that's available when we examine them, the better we can treat the problems you have.
We have been treating worker's comp patients in Forest Hills, Queens for decades, so we know all the right steps to take to get your treatment approved as quickly as possible, fix any broken teeth, and treat the chronic pain of your jaw joints and the muscles of your face, neck and shoulders. Worker's comp cases and TMJ injuries are not easy to manage, so don't entrust your treatment to someone who's not an expert in these areas. Common mistakes made by dentists can delay your treatment by months, or even get your treatment denied. That's why you need to have an expert on your side.
We'll provide whatever treatment you need to make you whole again after an accident. Whether you need dental implants, cosmetic crowns, or even replacement of damaged dentures, we're here to help. If you have injuries from a workplace incident, Call us today at (718) 268-1561, or request a consultation.

Q: capacitor in schematic without unit Can you help me identify the correct values of the marked capacitors? And what are the values between the brackets?
As a bonus question: What is the purpose of this transistors?
The schematics show a one line UART with 13V, 500 boud. The upper part is the receiving part, the lower for sending.
Thank you.

A: Most likely:
0.01 = 10nF
0.1 = 100nF
C304 is a decoupling cap. 100nF is very common value. C309 forms low pass filter with R330.

A: Capacitor values are usually given in microfarads, unless otherwise indicated.
Those capacitors are 0.1 uF and 0.01 uF (or 100 nF and 10 nF).
I don't know what the <B> and <F>  mean - perhaps there's a note somewhere on the schematic or in the parts list stating what they mean...

A: C310 is shown as 1000p. As pointed out in a previous answer, capacitor values are usually given in microfarads unless otherwise indicated.  In this case, the p is meant to designate the units as picofarads so C310 is 1000 pF.

Album Review: Seraph In Travail - Lest They Feed Upon Your Soul
Artist: Seraph In Travail
Album: Lest They Feed Upon Your Soul
Genre: Blackened Death Metal
Review by: Simon Strelein
From the first symphonic refrains of this album, I found myself intrigued. Hailing from Philadelphia, Seraph In Travail present a finely executed offering of blackened death metal in this, their second full length album, 'Lest They Feed Upon Your Soul'. It's hard to miss two of Seraph In Travail's obvious influences, namely The Black Dahlia Murder and Cradle Of Filth. From the first track I knew that I would enjoy listening to this band regularly in future, as both those influences hold a place in my own music collection. The former more than the latter, I found my interest in Cradle Of Filth waning after 'Cruelty And The Beast' and only being somewhat rekindled lately by their more recent effort 'Cryptoriana'. The Black Dahlia murder however, are one of my all-time favourites. Big time. So as I began to delve further into 'Lest They Feed Upon Your Soul' I found myself enjoying it more and more with each track. Similarities aside, the band are highly skilled at what they do. Structurally their songs follow a TBDM formula, guitarist Joe Bonner delivers sweeping and technical arpeggiated riffs that careen energetically throughout the album's entirety, punctuated by precise solos. Ferocious, blasting drums drive the massive riffs onward like a runaway horse-drawn carriage through the night.
Mournful strings and choral refrains weave between the two, and as the average song length on the album runs to the 6-7 minute mark, these symphonic melodies serve to break up what could have dragged on. Vocalist Jon Sutherman manages a seamless combination of guttural lows and witch-like shrieks tempered by well-delivered clean vocals, something I'm not usually a massive fan of. But when done correctly, clean vocals can enhance the brutality of death growls. All in all, Seraph In Travail deliver a strong offering, an individual sound familiar to those who appreciate the style. 'Lest They Feed Upon Your Soul' is an entirely finished product that leaves me wondering why this band doesn't have more listeners and followers than they deserve. Perhaps in time, more fans of this genre will stumble across this fantastic band. 8 out of 10. For fans of The Black Dahlia Murder, Cradle Of Filth, All Shall Perish, As Blood Runs Black.

OCC Says JPMorgan Chase Has $29.1 Trillion of Custody Assets; That's $8 Trillion More than the Assets of All Banks in the U.S.
By Pam Martens and Russ Martens: December 4, 2020 ~
Jamie Dimon, Chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase
On November 24 the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) fined JPMorgan Chase $250 million for wrongdoing that was apparently too deplorable to be spoken out loud to the public. The specific details were cloaked in this phrase: "failure to maintain adequate internal controls and internal audit over its fiduciary business."
We went to the OCC's Consent Order connected to the fine to see if there were the typical smoking gun internal emails or at least some clue as to what the actual illegal activity was. There were zero clues, just more obfuscation. What we did see, however, was a dollar figure that popped our eyes wide open. The OCC Consent Order said this:
"The Bank maintains one of the world's largest and most complex fiduciary businesses with total fiduciary and related assets of $29.1 trillion, including $1.3 trillion in fiduciary assets and $27.8 trillion of non-fiduciary custody assets."
To put that $29.1 trillion into the proper perspective, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is reporting that as of November 30 of this year, there were a total of 5,031 federally-insured banks and savings associations in the United States. The amount of assets held by all 5,031 of these financial institutions was $21 trillion — $8 trillion less than JPMorgan Chase has in custody assets.
JPMorgan Chase is the largest bank in the United States. To put the $29.1 trillion into even sharper focus, JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., according to the FDIC, has a total of just $2.87 trillion of its own assets. But, somehow, it has managed to attract more than 10 times its own assets on a custodian basis.
If the idea of numbered Swiss bank accounts is floating around in your brain right now, you can be forgiven.
In September, when the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) released a bombshell investigative report about money laundering for criminals at some of the largest Wall Street banks, it had quite a bit to say about JPMorgan Chase. (The ICIJ investigation was based on secret documents leaked from FinCEN, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, a unit of the U.S. Treasury.)
According to the ICIJ report, JPMorgan Chase was involved in moving illicit funds for the fugitive, Jho Low, involving the notorious looting of public funds in Malaysia. Jho Low has been accused by multiple jurisdictions of playing a key role in the embezzlement of more than $4.5 billion from a Malaysian economic development fund, 1MDB. JPMorgan Chase moved $1.2 billion in money for Jho Low from 2013 to 2016, according to the report.
The ICIJ report also found that JPMorgan "processed more than $50 million in payments over a decade…for Paul Manafort, the former campaign manager for President Donald Trump. The bank shuttled at least $6.9 million in Manafort transactions in the 14 months after he resigned from the campaign amid a swirl of money laundering and corruption allegations spawning from his work with a pro-Russian political party in Ukraine."
Equally troubling activity at JPMorgan Chase includes the following, according to ICIJ investigators:
"JPMorgan also moved money for companies and people tied to corruption scandals in Venezuela that have helped create one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. One in three Venezuelans is not getting enough to eat, the UN reported this year, and millions have fled the country.
"One of the Venezuelans who got help from JPMorgan was Alejandro 'Piojo' Isturiz, a former government official who has been charged by U.S. authorities as a player in an international money laundering scheme. Prosecutors allege that between 2011 and 2013 Isturiz and others solicited bribes to rig government energy contracts. The bank moved more than $63 million for companies linked to Isturiz and the money laundering scheme between 2012 and 2016, the FinCEN Files show…"
Wall Street firms like JPMorgan Chase are legally required to follow the "KYC" rule (Know Your Customer) in order to avoid moving money around for criminals. But the ICIJ investigators reveal that JPMorgan Chase paid little attention to that rule. The report found this:
"Take the case of a mysterious shell company called ABSI Enterprises. ABSI sent and received more than $1 billion in transactions through JPMorgan between January 2010 and July 2015, the FinCEN Files show.
"This amount included transactions through a direct bank account with JPMorgan, which ABSI closed in 2013, and through so-called correspondent banking arrangements, in which a bank with significant U.S. operations, such as JPMorgan, allows foreign banks to process U.S. dollar transactions through its own accounts.
"Compliance watchdogs based at the bank's Columbus, Ohio operations hub decided to try to figure out ABSI's actual owner in 2015 after a Russian news site reported that a similarly-named shell company — which JPMorgan's records indicated was the parent of ABSI — was linked to an underworld figure named Semion Mogilevich.
"Mogilevich has been described as the 'Boss of Bosses' of Russia mafia groups. When the FBI put him on its Top Ten Most Wanted list in 2009, it said his criminal network was involved in weapons and drug trafficking, extortion and contract murders. The chain-smoking, beefy Ukrainian's signature method of neutralizing an enemy, The Guardian once reported, is the car bomb.
"The records show the compliance officers searched in vain through their files on the shell company, unable to determine who was behind the firm or what its true purpose was.
"While those details still remain unclear, JPMorgan had plenty of reasons to examine ABSI years earlier: it operated as a shell company in Cyprus, considered a major money laundering center at the time, and it was directing hundreds of millions of dollars through JPMorgan…
"Through a spokesperson, Mogilevich said he had no knowledge of ABSI."
The ICIJ investigation is hardly the first to find money laundering issues at JPMorgan Chase. On July 21, 2004, former Manhattan District Attorney Robert Mongenthau testified before the Senate Finance Committee on how JPMorgan Chase had moved money for an unlicensed money transmitting business called Beacon Hill Service Corporation. Morgenthau had this to say:
"Beacon Hill was an unlicensed money transmitting business, run out of offices on the seventh floor of a midtown Manhattan office building. It had about a dozen employees. Beacon Hill was open for business from 1994 to February 2003, when we executed a search warrant on the premises. In the last six years of its operation, this small company moved $6.5 billion, by wire transfers alone, through the 40 accounts it maintained at a major New York bank. [Court documents show that the bank was JPMorgan Chase.] This does not include checks, payable-through drafts or cash transactions. Beacon Hill was convicted in February 2004 of operating as a money transmitter without a license…
"Among the foreign authorities that have contacted the New York County District Attorney's Office about the Beacon Hill accounts are Brazilian prosecutors and police and representatives of a special commission established in Brazil to investigate the movement of some $30 billion out of Brazil. The $30 billion is thought to be the proceeds of official corruption, government fraud, organized crime activities and weapons and narcotics trafficking. At least $200 million of this money – funds alleged to belong to a prominent public official in Brazil – moved through Beacon Hill's accounts."
On January 7, 2014, JPMorgan Chase admitted to its first two felony counts. (The bank has since racked up a total of five felony counts in six years brought by the U.S. Department of Justice. The bank has admitted to all of its felonies while keeping the same Chairman and CEO, Jamie Dimon, giving the appearance that the felonies are a feature, not a bug, of its business model.) The bank's first two felony counts were related to – wait for it – laundering money for Bernie Madoff, who was running the largest Ponzi scheme in history. The Department of Justice described part of what JPMorgan Chase had done as follows:
"Early on in its relationship with Madoff Securities, JPMorgan, because of its unique vantage point as the firm's banker, had reason to be suspicious about Madoff. For example, in the early 1990s the Bank learned that Madoff and a prominent client of JPMorgan's Private Bank (the 'Private Bank Client') were engaged in what looked like round-tripping, check-kiting transactions. Another bank involved in these transactions ('Madoff Bank 2') recognized them as suspicious and without any legitimate business purpose. In or about 1996, unlike JPMorgan, Madoff Bank 2 not only filed a suspicious activity report ('SAR') with law enforcement, but it actually closed down Madoff's account. As a result, Madoff moved all of his accounts from Madoff Bank 2 to JPMorgan, where the size of these transactions became much larger. For example, in December 2001 alone, the Private Bank Client engaged in approximately $6.8 billion worth of transactions with Madoff through a series of circular $90 million transfers."
That JPMorgan Chase Private Bank client was Norman F. Levy. Irving Picard, the Madoff bankruptcy trustee wrote in court documents that "during 2002, Madoff initiated outgoing transactions to Levy in the precise amount of $986,301 hundreds of times — 318 separate times, to be exact. These highly unusual transactions often occurred multiple times on a single day."
In conjunction with the two felony counts, JPMorgan Chase had to pay restitution of $1.7 billion to a Madoff victims' fund.

Our Valued Staff
We've built our business on making it as easy as possible in making final arrangements for a loved one or yourself. We've done this by freeing you of the obligatory meeting(s) at the mortuary and instead offering for us to come to you. This is also true if you just need us to come to your home and talk to you about the process.
funeral director owned & operated
Try finding a mortuary owner who is also the "managing funeral director" and actively involved in the day to day operations like J.P. Cervantes is. It's rare to find that these days. The truth is that a mortuary owner doesn't have to be a licensed funeral director. All the mortuary owner is required to do, whether individual or corporation, is find a licensed funeral director and pay him or her to hang up their license at the mortuary. This business mentality loses focus on the grieving family's needs and is more concerned with profitability.
experience & dedication
Our team has many years of experience and dedication working with grieving families. Not just in planning funerals but also working with families, cemeteries, crematories, removal/"first call" companies, preparation centers and government agencies. Our well rounded team ensures that any question you need answered and/or anything you need taken care of will receive our fullest attention.

He will be a valuable addition to the college due to his experience in Dawah and propagation of the mission in Spain and Europe. His devotion and dedication to the Mission is evident by him leaving Europe and returning to work in Pakistan according to the wishes of Qaid Inqilab Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri; He indeed is an example for others to follow.
Allama Rana Idrees has begun his duty as Nazim Dawah and Tarbiah and Member of the central CWC of MQI. His experience of Dawah and Tarbiah in Europe over the past decade will prove to be an inspiration.

Аминта был сыном царя галатов  и дочери Дейотара, которому Аминта наследовал. Страбон сообщает, что в районе озера Татта у Аминты было более 300 стад овец. К своим владениям, в результате убийства друга Цицерона  добавил . С позволения римлян он также занял Исаврию и Каппадокию.

Плутарх в своих «Сравнительных жизнеописаниях» рассказывает о том, что Аминта сначала был в числе союзников Марка Антония, однако переметнулся к Октавиану Августу перед битвой при Акциуме. После битвы Август отдал Аминте Киликию Трахею.

Аминта вёл успешную войну с гомонадами, но был убит ими из засады, не успев завершить свой новой столицы, Аминта был убит киликийцами. После его смерти Галатия стала римской провинцией.

Аминта Галатский был женат на дочери . Их внуками были , проконсул Вифинии в 98 году и Гай Юлий Север, трибун VI легиона. Одна из гипотез в рамках исследований  предполагает, что Аминта был предком в 25 поколении епископа Арнульфа Мецкого, а через него Карла Великого и большинства современной европейской знати.

Report: Roger Ailes, former chairman and CEO of Fox News, dead at 77
ByBrianna Provenzano
Roger Ailes, the former chairman and CEO of Fox News, was reported dead Thursday by his wife in a statement first posted to conservative news site Drudge Report. He was 77 years old.
"I am profoundly sad and heartbroken to report that my husband, Roger Ailes, passed away this morning," Ailes' wife, Elizabeth Ailes, said in the statement. "Roger was a loving husband to me, to his son Zachary and a loyal friend to many."
Fox News confirmed the report of Ailes' death in a segment that aired early Thursday morning.
Ailes, who started his career in entertainment television, in 1996 founded the Fox News Channel, which swelled to become a highly politically influential channel watched by millions around the country. He had also worked as a GOP political consultant, once working for former President Ronald Reagan's re-election campaign, before he founded Fox News.
Under Ailes' leadership, Fox News elevated the conservative voice and railed against the "mainstream media," a strategy that made it the most-watched cable news channel in the country.
Ailes resigned from Fox News in July after a high-profile lawsuit from former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson that alleged Ailes had sexually harassed her. Those claims snowballed amid an internal company investigation, and numerous current and former women employees at the channel, including Megyn Kelly, came forward to claim they had faced similar treatment.
Ailes had denied the claims. He received $40 million from Fox News upon his departure, and was to continue on as an adviser through 2018.
He kept a low public profile after his departure. It was reported in August that he would advise Donald Trump ahead of the presidential election.
Fox News executive chairman Rupert Murdoch addressed reports of Ailes' death in a statement.
"Roger and I shared a big idea which he executed in a way no one else could have," Murdoch wrote. "In addition, Roger was a great patriot who never ceased fighting for his beliefs."

This is a beautiful RV Resort! First off, DO NOT USE GOOGLE MAPS to get directions. Definitely use the web site directions unless you enjoy off paved road excursions. Google took us down a road (Hwy 396) that turned into a single lane dirt road. It was harrowing since we had 7 large motor coaches pulling trailers and vehicles. It also had a concrete creek crossing for farm equipment that we had to cross. So please use the directions from the resort. Second, the resort is well thought out with ample space for parking trailers and spare vehicles by the activities building. Parking on our site was tight with our 44' RV with 4 slides and our truck but some sites were more improved than others. All sites are individually owned and improved but not all are rented to general public. They had a lot of water pressure and I would definitely use a pressure reducer. I had a hose split from the pressure. Third, we had a pull in site facing the lake, it was great! The golf coarse was in front of us on the side of the lake, the coarse was closed due to the massive flooding they had recently. They were working to clean up and repair the coarse. But the lake views and sunsets were breathtaking. Fourth, everyone was exceptionally nice and welcoming. All the site owners I met were happy we were there and very helpful and informative. Finally, it was a bit far to towns with stores and restaurants but the locals were great giving recommendations. We were there with friends for motorcycle rides around the area which did not disappoint. I hope to go back again, we really enjoyed our stay !
Amazing place, large level, full hookup sites. Great staff, lots to do. A marina is just across from the RV park. They will pick-up and deliver water toys.
What a great experience. Staff friendly as it gets. Grounds immaculate... Not many places can you park a class A, have all the amenities and such a view A++++ We will be back! Thank you for such a great week!
Awesome! THE nicest park we've ever stayed at. We found ourselves wishing we lived within a days drive so we could buy a spot. The largest individual sites we've ever stayed at. We stayed in a back-in site overlooking the 8th hold of the private golf course and the lake. Beautiful patio site behind the rig. Laundry room and restrooms sparkling clean. The clubhouse was fabulous!! Two pools, the clubhouse was our favorite. Definitely a little worried getting there...going down a lot of back roads with that "dueling banjos" playing in my head, but this was like finding the pearl in the oyster! We extended our stay as long as possible but wish we could've stayed longer. And the people there...SOOOOO friendly that we couldn't even get the rig set up before someone was carting my husband off in his golf cart to show him the best fishing spot! EVERYONE was so friendly. I can't say enough about our experience - but stay HERE if you're in this area!!
Shades of "Deliverance" as we were driving to this place. It is definitely off the beaten path. Co-pilot thought I had lost my mind and my directions. But once you see the first welcome sign, WOW! This place is big rig Heaven. It's right on Table Rock Lake with great views. Wide parking spaces, beautiful landscaping, a 9 hole par 3 golf course. We rented a ski boat from the marina across the way (they came and picked us up) and spent the day on the lake. Staff was very nice and they have 24 hour security. The ONLY negative about the park is that there is no cable TV and we couldn't get any of the local channels. Other than that, I highly recommend Ozarks RV Resort.
From jct US Hwy 65 & SR 86: Go 11-1/2 mi W on SR 86, then 1 mi S on SR 13/21, then 5 mi E on SR 311, then 1-1/4 mi E on CR 663 (R) Do not use GPS.

Fast Track Of The DayRock
Darren Michael Boyd "Misty Mundae"
Darren Michael Boyd has toured and recorded with a variety of artists, such as Black Ju-Ju, Creeping Beauty, and Famous Underground (featuring Juno award-winning vocalist Nicholas Walsh). He was invited multiple occasions to privately audition for platinum-selling artist Fefe Dobson, and asked to write songs for Alice Cooper's daughter Calico Cooper, and long time bassist Chuck Garric's band Beasto Blanco.
Darren received a scholarship to Guitar Workshop Plus in Toronto, with some of the best players in the business as instructors (Paul Gilbert/Billy Sheehan/Sue Foley). He has shared the stage with such acts as One-Eyed Doll, Wednesday 13, Yngwie Malmsteen, Stryper, Harem Scarem, Beasto Blanco, and Lee Aaron. In the spring of 2019 he joined the Mississippi Mudds Theatre Group to play guitar for a sold out run of Queen's We Will Rock You. The Mississippi Mudds won the Ottawa Faces Magazine award for Favorite Theatre Group for that year.
After a life-altering car accident, the Ottawa and Toronto-based musician created his debut album, "Lifting The Curse," as a therapy for the physical and psychological complications that followed the accident. Painstakingly writing, recording and producing the 9-track album himself, Boyd only called upon outside help for one track, "Was It Something I Said," which features drums by Emily Dolan Davies (The Darkness, Kim Wilde.) Mastering was done by Harry Hess at H-Bomb Mastering (Barenaked Ladies, Danko Jones, Monster Truck.)
In the winter of 2019 he was given an honorable mention by ASCAP for his first instrumental release "This Song Won't Get Played On the Radio." Darren is a multi- award-winning and nominated artist.
He won Best North American Music Video in the Toronto Independent Film Festival for his self-produced video for Arachnochakra, from his multi-award nominated sophomore release Wonders of the Invisible world.
He was also voted Best Guitar Teacher, in the Ottawa Valley/North Grenville Readers Choice Awards.
In 2021, Boyd released his 3rd solo album Last Seen in Canada, followed by a long-awaited return to the stage.
Darren just returned from Nashville as a nominee for the JMAs at The Grand Ole Opry in time for a few local shows, and the release of his new album Thought & Scares. The music video for the first single. Misty Mundae, was released on November 10th.


Limit cycle oscillations have been observed in flight operations of modern aircraft, wind tunnel experiments and mathematical models. Both fluid and structural nonlinearities are thought to contribute to these phenomena. With recent advances in reduced order aerodynamic modeling, it is now feasible to analyze limit cycle oscillations that may occur in transonic flow including the effects of structural and fluid nonlinearities. In this paper an airfoil with control surface freeplay (a common structural nonlinearity) is used to investigate transonic flutter and limit cycle oscillations. The reduced order aerodynamic model used in this paper assumes the shock motion is small and in proportion to the structural motions.

"Explaining Recent Declines in Adolescent Pregnancy in the United States: The Contribution of Abstinence and Improved Contraceptive Use" (2007), by John S. Santelli, Laura Duberstein Lindberg, Lawrence B. Finer, and Susheela Singh
In "Explaining Recent Declines in Adolescent Pregnancy in the United States: The Contribution of Abstinence and Improved Contraceptive Use," hereafter "Explaining Recent Declines," researchers John S. Santelli, Laura Duberstein Lindberg, Lawrence B. Finer, and Susheela Singh discuss what led to the major decline in US adolescent pregnancy rates from 1995 to 2002. Working with the Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive health research organization, they found that the decline in US adolescent pregnancy rates between 1995 and 2002 was primarily due to improved contraceptive use.

Ovum Humanum: Growth, Maturation, Nourishment, Fertilization and Early Development (1960), by Landrum Brewer Shettles
Ovum Humanum was written and compiled by Dr. Landrum Brewer Shettles while he worked as a doctor in New York. The publication contains an atlas of photographs of the human egg cell that Shettles took while working at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. Stechert-Hafner, Inc, a publishing company based in New York City, published the book in 1960. The book presents a collection of color photographs that shows detail of the human egg that had never been seen before, providing a reference for scientists and doctors that documented the anatomy of these cells.
"Does Air Pollution Play a Role in Infertility?: a Systematic Review" (2017), by Julie Carré, Nicolas Gatimel, Jessika Moreau, Jean Parinaud and Roger Léandri
In 2017, Julie Carré, Nicolas Gatimel, Jessika Moreau, Jean Parinaud, and Roger Léandri published "Does Air Pollution Play a Role in Infertility?: a Systematic Review," hereafter "Does Air Pollution Play a Role," in the journal Environmental Health. The authors completed a systematic literature review to investigate the effects of air pollutants on fertility in exposed populations.
Thesis: How Purported Scientific Failures Have Led to Advancements in IVF
This thesis shows us the history of how some of the first attempts at IVF in humans using various options such as donated egg cells and cryopreserved embryos, often ended in early miscarriages. At that time, most members of the scientific community and general public responded to those trials by regarding them as insignificant. In 1998, the success rate of women under the age of 38 having children with the use of IVF was 22.1%. Over time, scientists began to acknowledge those published findings that detailed various "failed" human IVF experiments.

An Atlas of Fertilization and Karyokinesis of the Ovum (1895), by Edmund Beecher Wilson
Edmund Beecher Wilson in the US published An Atlas of Fertilization and Karyokinesis of the Ovum (hereafter called An Atlas) in 1895. The book presents photographs by photographer Edward Leaming that capture stages of fertilization, the fusion of sperm and egg and early development of sea urchin (Toxopneustes variegatus) ova, or egg cell. Prior to An Atlas, no one photographed of eggcell division in clear detail. Wilson obtained high quality images of egg cells by cutting the cells into thin sections and preserving them throughout different stages of development.
"Limitations in Abortion Legislation: A Comparative Study" (2007), by Orli Lotan
Written by Orli Lotan on behalf of the Knesset (Israeli Parliament) Center for Research and Information, "Limitations in Abortion Legislation: A Comparative Study" (hereafter abbreviated "Legislation") examines abortion legislation in Israel, the US, Canada, and a number of European countries. The study also acknowledges the medical, moral, ethical, and religious implications of abortion and the impact of such legislation on society in each country.

"Beyond Menstrual Hygiene: Addressing Vaginal Bleeding Throughout the Life Course in LMICs" (2017), by Marni Sommer, Penelope A. Phillips-Howard, Therese Mahon, Sasha Zients, Meredith Jones, and Bethany A. Caruso
In "Beyond Menstrual Hygiene: Addressing Vaginal Bleeding Throughout the Life Course in LMICs," hereafter "Beyond Menstrual Hygiene," Marni Sommer, Penelope A. Phillips-Howard, Therese Mahon, Sasha Zients, Meredith Jones, and Bethany A. Caruso explored the barriers women experience in managing menstruation and other forms of vaginal bleeding in low and middle-income countries, which the researchers abbreviate to LMICs. The medical journal British Medical Journal Global Health published the article on 27 July 2017.
"The Premenstrual Syndrome" (1953), by Raymond Greene and Katharina Dalton
In 1953, Raymond Greene and Katharina Dalton, who were doctors in the UK, published The Premenstrual Syndrome in the British Medical Journal. In their article, Dalton and Greene established the term premenstrual syndrome (PMS). The authors defined PMS as a cluster of symptoms that include bloating, breast pain, migraine-headache, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and irritability. The article states that the symptoms begin one to two weeks before menstruation during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, and they disappear upon the onset of the menstrual period.
"Relationship between Ultrasound Viewing and Proceeding to Abortion" (2014), by Mary Gatter, Katrina Kimport, Diana Greene Foster, Tracy A. Weitz, and Ushma D. Upadhyay
In January 2014, Mary Gatter and colleagues published "Relationship between Ultrasound Viewing and Proceeding to Abortion" in Obstetrics and Gynecology hereafter "Ultrasound Viewing." As of 2021, ten states require women to undergo an ultrasound before they may consent to having an abortion. Self-described pro-life organizations assert that viewing an image of the fetus will dissuade women from having an abortion.
"Elective Induction of Labor" (1955), by Edward Bishop
In 1955, obstetrician Edward Bishop, a physician specializing in childbirth, published the article "Elective Induction of Labor," in which he proposed the best conditions for pregnant women to elect to induce, or begin, labor. Elective induction of labor requires an obstetrician to administer a drug to help a pregnant woman to start her contractions, and to rupture the fluid-filled sac surrounding the fetus called the amniotic sac.
"Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System (POP-Q) - A New Era in Pelvic Prolapse Staging" (2011), by Cristian Persu, Christopher Chapple, Victor Cauni, Stefan Gutue, and Petrisor Geavlete
In 2011, Cristian Persu, Christopher Chapple, Victor Cauni, Stefan Gutue, and Petrisor Geavlete published "Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System (POP-Q) – A New Era in Pelvic Prolapse Staging," in the Journal of Medicine and Life. In their article, the authors explain the need for a reliable diagnostic method for describing the state of a pelvic organ prolapse, or a condition that can result from weakness or damage to the muscles that support the pelvic organs, sometimes leading to bladder, bowel, and sexual dysfunction.

"Fetal Surgery" (1996), by Michael R. Harrison
In 1996, Michael R. Harrison published "Fetal Surgery" in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. In the article, Harrison describes the importance of fetal surgery and the techniques used to correct defects in fetuses. As a fetus develops in the uterus, it can develop abnormalities that may become debilitating or fatal. Harrison discusses cases that show how physicians can use fetal surgery to repair such abnormalities, including obstructions in the heart or urinary tract, or organs or muscles whose malformations impair function.
"Spiritual Midwifery" (2003), by Ina May Gaskin
In 1976, midwife Ina May Gaskin published Spiritual Midwifery, with other editions published in 1980, 1990, and 2003. Spiritual Midwifery is a book about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, or the time period after birth. During the 1970s, it was common for women to receive an epidural, a medication that reduces pain during labor, and for physicians to monitor a fetus's heartbeat while separating women from their infants after birth. However, according to Gaskin, some women wanted to give birth outside of the hospital without medical interventions.
Evaluation of the Newborn Infant--Second Report (1958), by Virginia Apgar et al.
Virginia Apgar and colleagues wrote "Evaluation of the Newborn Infant—Second Report" in 1958. This article explained that Apgar's system for evaluating infants' condition after birth accurately predicted the health of infants. Apgar had developed the scoring system in 1953 to provide a simple method for determining if an infant needed medical attention after birth.
"Pelvic Scoring for Elective Induction" (1964), by Edward Bishop
In the 1964 article, "Pelvic Scoring for Elective Induction," obstetrician Edward Bishop describes his method to determine whether a doctor should induce labor, or artificially start the birthing process, in a pregnant woman. Aside from medical emergencies, a woman can elect to induce labor to choose when she gives birth and have a shorter than normal labor. The 1964 publication followed an earlier article by Bishop, also about elective induction.
Birth without Violence (1975), by Frederick Leboyer
In Birth without Violence (1975), French obstetrician Frederick Leboyer describes in poetic form the possible perceptions and feelings of embryos and fetuses before, during, and after birth. His work has helped to promote a gentler and more sensitive birthing method with the goal of easing the newborn's transition from the womb to the outside world. Leboyer's birthing method influenced later birth techniques such as water birth and unassisted childbirth.

The ectoplasmic cloud swirled gently around the room. At its centre pulsed two indistinct orbs, one of pink and one of blue, both of which were quite unlike anything you could find in the Dulux catalogue. As the cloud drifted around it coalesced slightly, resolving itself into two separate nebula that swirled lazily around the pastel orbs. Between them was a world of silence – not because they were unable to communicate verbally, not even because communication between them took place on a plane that transcended the verbal realm (the language they used was actually, to the human ear, slightly reminiscent of somebody inhaling a jelly fish) – they were silent because the blue globe had just returned home from his works 'do' some two hundred years after it had finished. (Perhaps I should explain here that the lifespan of the blobs was something approaching fifty thousand Earth years. Furthermore, the planet upon which they currently bobbed, circled its sun five hundred times every Earth year. Time passed very differently – especially if you were waiting for the pizza delivery.)
"Look," said the cyan sphere at length, desperate to break the silence. With an audible grunt the pink nucleus pulled her aurora around her so tightly that it almost became solid. If she had a back, she would have turned it.
"Look," continued Blue. "It was two hundred years, not millennia. I just got lost on the way back. You know what it's like – can't tell one constellation from another after a while. They all look the same, bleedin' planets: round, brown, spinning… mostly. Before you know where you are, you don't know where you are."
"Particularly when you've hung a few large ones on," spat out Pink, with a vengeance that made her drizzle slightly. "Who were you with between leaving the party and fetching up here two centuries behind schedule?"
"With?" Queried blue. "With? I'm a wosname… amorphous cloud, barely visible at my core and I trail away God knows how far into the ether at my perimeter. I don't know. I could have been with anyone. That is part of the nature of being vast."
"Doesn't stop you getting home on time," said Pink.
"Look, O.K. I'll level with you. I needed some space. You know what it's like, trying to squeeze yourself into a physical void of finite volume."
"Of course I bloody do. I was stuck in here for two thousand years last night on my own whilst you were out partying. I've got the kind of omni-directional cramp that only an ectomorph can know."
"Why don't you go out and get some fresh air?"
"Fresh air?" cried Pink as ice crystals instantly formed throughout her being. "Fresh air? Have you forgotten where we are? Space is a vacuum. There is no air, fresh or otherwise around here… Mind you, if you were any kind of a blob, you'd find me some. In the past you'd have popped across to that little blue and green planet… what's it called? Never mind, it doesn't matter. You'd have gone there and brought me some back."
"It's two billion light years away…"
"And in the opposite direction to the pub."
"Right then," said Blue. "Right then. If that's what you want, I'll go. You want fresh air, I'll bring you fresh air. Don't wait up, I may be some time."
"Particularly if you get lost again," said Pink.
Blue snorted derisively, sending out a pulsar that engulfed a neighbouring solar system (the third planet of which was, ironically, in an Earth-like orbit and brimming with fresh air). "Right!" And, slamming the door behind him he sped off into the vast emptiness, leaving behind him a trail of vapour that would, one day, give birth to life on a million planets. All was quiet.
"Blimey," said the room, at last. "That was close. I thought he'd never go…"
