Caitlin Rose covers Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks Track "That's Alright"
Add Nashville's Caitlin Rose to the ever-expanding list of American artists finding more welcoming arms -- and critical acclaim -- across the pond in the U.K. and Europe. While her new album Own Side Now draws stellar four-star reviews in London ("more than lives up to expectations...lovely stuff" -- Q, "major star alert" -- The Guardian) and gets an opening slot on the current Deer Tick U.K. tour, we wait patiently for a U.S release. Young singer/songwriters with a twang and an appreciation for alternative and traditional country styles (and who don't fit into the Nashville star-maker machinery) too often get neglected or pigeonholed. It's a shame, too. The fine, promising Own Side Now deserves greater exposure -- even in her own backyard.
Rose's debut has the classic rural tones of a Patsy Cline but this is a distinctively contemporary album in both lyrical depth and brash defiance of any particular one-note style. There are country/pop elements of Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt along with a version of the Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks song "That's Alright".

I like this..I do... I can objectively say that it is ..nice.... but something is missing... I want to feel a little more emotion maybe.... get something more out of her.... it's a 'good' cover though.
I went to her website and listened to all the songs, and she is a winner. That album is a throwback with a modern twist. I'm going to buy it. I think it's excellent.
Absolutely lovely. I also really like the Nora O'Connor version. Both are respectful, but not slaves to Stevie's version.
This cover is OK, but what is really interesting is the Fleetwood Mac video clip interview from Denmark. Wow ! To see footage of young, beautiful Stevie is rare. Most old clips have such poor visuals, but this one is so clear, she looks lovely. Is it really from Denmark in 1976? I never knew the Mac went to Europe until the Rumours tour. And do you have any more footage like this?

Strangers' Things
A GUIDE FOR THE HOMESICK
Trafalgar Studios, London, Thursday 1st November, 2018
Ken Urban's two-hander is set in an Amsterdam hotel a couple of years pre-Trump (happy days!) and tells the story of Teddy (a very strong Clifford Samuel) who invites a young man he has met in the bar up to his room so they can continue drinking after closing time. It appears that Teddy has misread signals somewhere along the line and the nerdish, slightly effeminate Jeremy (the excellent Douglas Booth) isn't gay after all… Or is he? Jeremy can hardly bring himself to say the word.
As the two men talk and drink, their stories emerge. It's true, sometimes, that it's easier to tell things to a stranger than to one's closest acquaintances. Teddy is in Amsterdam with a friend, prior to the friend's wedding back home in New York, but there is some mystery about the friend's absence… Jeremy is newly returned from relief work in Kampala – and there is some mystery about his departure from the clinic…
The men winkle, sometimes bully, the truth from each other, piece by piece. After a lengthy establishing scene, Urban flicks the action between the hotel room now, the hospital in Uganda, and the hotel room when Teddy's friend was present, with Samuel playing gay Ugandan Nicholas who befriends Jeremy, and Booth becoming Teddy's unstable chum – who is obsessed with a story of a lonely whale whose song is of a frequency no other whales can hear… The story is a symbol for these two strangers, obviously, and is repeated perhaps one too many times. We get it.
The quick changes between locations are achieved via Nic Farman's lighting; the application of a colour wash transports us to sultry Africa at the touch of a button. Also, Samuel's African accent both convinces and helps us distinguish the whos, wheres, and whens.
The writing is sharp and funny; the playing of both actors is intense yet nuanced. Director Jonathan O'Boyle keeps them moving around the intimate space, like caged animals, almost to the extent that I wish they'd keep still and just talk for pity's sake.
The action covers, via Nicholas, the sickening rise of homophobic murders in Uganda, and how, even now, someone from a privileged background in the States can find it impossible to come out and be at peace with his sexuality. Clifford's Teddy is the more forceful presence, while Booth's Jeremy is more subtly conflicted. Sparks fly when tempers – and other things – are roused, and issues are thrashed out on a personal level. With the way the world is going perhaps all we can do is cling to each other.
A thoroughly gripping, amusing yet provocative eighty minutes I strongly advise you to experience.

Hair Bare Bunch
The Vaults, London, Thursday 11th January, 2018
I am lucky to catch this 50th anniversary production just before it reaches the end of its run and I can only kick myself for not going sooner and allowing time for return visits. Ground-breaking back in 1967, in terms of sound and format, the show comes across as fresh as a daisy you might wear in your hair. Members of the 'Tribe' make observations of society: civil rights, pollution, war, while the ongoing plot involves handsome Mancunian-wannabe Claude (Robert Metson in fine voice) wondering whether to burn his call-up papers and stay with his hippy friends, chiefly Berger – the excellent, nay perfect, Andy Coxon. Berger, king of the tribe, is a charismatic figure, sexy, funny – Every time I see Coxon perform I fall in love with him all over again, and that's before he gets his bum out.
Shekinah McFarlane's Dionne gets things off to a searing start with her powerful vocals in 'The Age of Aquarius'; she also plays a mean saxophone later on. Liam Ross-Mills's Woof gets carried away with a Mick Jagger poster; Patrick George's Margaret Mead has fun recruiting an audience member to be her 'Hubert' – in fact, everyone gets their moment to stand out: Laura Johnson's Sheila, Jammy Kasongo's Hud, Jessie May as barefoot and pregnant Jeanie… The strength of the solo singing is matched by the beauty of the ensemble's harmonies. Galt McDermot's rock-informed score is rich with variety and contrast, while the lyrics by Gerome Ragni and James Rado (and William Shakespeare) range from witty to hard-hitting. The show is one big highlight.
The cast is not the only thing stripped bare. The staging is kept minimal, keeping the performers to the fore. Director Jonathan O'Boyle makes simple but sophisticated use of parachute silk and the occasional prop, keeping us in the Tribe's trippy world. An extended tripping sequence is chock-full of striking imagery. Obviously, the lighting (by Ben M Rogers) helps tremendously with creating atmosphere and a sense of place, but I want to make special mention of the sound design by Calum Robinson and Max Perryment: aurally, the show is magnificent. Solo voices, ensemble singing, the band and sound effects are all blended to the utmost clarity. It is a real feast for the ears.
The band, under the musical direction of Gareth Bretherton, is kept behind a fence in an upstage area, but the sound fills the Vaults. The choreography from William Walton avoids 1960s clichés and exudes an invigorating energy. The music, the performers, the message, are all irresistible. The show's social conscience has resonances with today's messed-up world just as much as in the 60s. But beyond all that, it's an exuberant celebration of life.
Let the sunshine in! Peace, love and understanding, man. Etc.
What a whopper: Andy Coxon's Berger leads a love-in

The Outer Worlds – Review
Eira Skovlund December 10, 2019
Obsidian Entertainment, the developers of the best Fallout game (Fallout: New Vegas) have finally made a new RPG – this time set in space. With a focus on choosing what factions to help and what direction to take the story, this sounded like a game right up my alley!
Name: The Outer Worlds
Developer: Obsidian Entertainment
Publisher: Private Division
Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One (Nintendo Switch version coming in 2020)
Reviewed on: PC
Acquired: A copy of this game was provided by a publisher for review purpose
The Outer Worlds starts out with your character being rescued by the mad scientist Phineas Wells – who then drops you off at a nearby planet in the Halcyon colony. Before this however, you make your character in a very good creator engine. Not only do you select how to look, but also your backstory and what stats to boost at the start of the game.
The short summary of the story would be: Capitalism has taken over, even more than it already has IRL, and several companies have gotten together to make a galaxy solely controlled by them, in order to make themselves even richer. For some weird reason, most of the people living on these planets are now fed up with little pay, a lack of choice, and leaders that only care about themselves. And here's where we come in, do we stand with the people and try to change things up? Or do we side with the companies? What you do changes where the story takes you, and I love it!
The graphics in The Outer Worlds might be its weak point – but that doesn't mean it's bad, it's just not top-notch. The issue here is the lack of details in the textures. Especially when it comes to the environment, plants, and wildlife. Luckily, the people who inhabit the Halcyon galaxy all look good and, more importantly, unique.
Another great thing with the textures not being overly well done is the fact that The Outer Worlds flows extremely well. As I played the game on a PC with a 144hz monitor, the game is one of the smoothest I can remember playing.
As I've mentioned before, The Outer Worlds is simply put, a Fallout game set in space. It's almost a definition of an open-world RPG, with leveling up, bettering your stats and doing quests to help (or not help, all depending on how you choose to play) the settlements on the different planets.
In addition, you have a lot of focus on bringing companions out on the field with you. My personal favorite swiftly became Parvati (which coincidentally was voiced by Ashly Burch (VA of Chloe Price from LiS, Tiny Tina from Borderlands 2 and Aloy from Horizon: Zero Dawn)) and Ellie. Because one companion isn't enough – you can bring two! And although I got those two favorites early on, all of the companions have something charming about them, I mean, who doesn't like the awkward Felix?
Last but not least, you have a mechanic called "Tactical Time Dilation", which allows you to slow down time, quite a lot like V.A.T.S from the Fallout series. All of this summed up allows for quite the personal experience, you can be whoever you want, playing however you want. You want to be a smart, but weak person who sneaks around – of course, you can! Want to be a brute that simply smashes their way around? That's an option too!
If you've played an open world RPG-shooter, like for example Fallout (Fallout 3 and newer), you know exactly what to expect. Easy-to-learn controls, which just works. Personally, I prefer playing these kinds of games with a mouse and keyboard, but you can also use a controller, which also works very well.
This might actually be The Outer Worlds strongest point, the many different directions the world can take, simply because of your actions. Almost every single quest has a different outcome, and some of the outcomes are also quite well "hidden" – I'll give you a hint: don't just do what the quest log tells you to, talk to the people which will be affected by your actions. I just finished my first playthrough, and it won't be long until I get around for a second go, because the story most definitely can have a better ending than what I got.
You can check out our review policy right here, if you wonder how we set our scores.
Story - 9/10
Controls - 10/10
Replay Value - 10/10
If you take all of this and sum it up you get quite the unique experience. Sure, the game can seem very much like a Fallout game, at least in the beginning. But it's so much more than that. It's a question about morals, politics and how you want to shape the world. On top of that you can add some great gameplay, which makes the game fun to play for hours upon hours. In addition, the game is close to free from bugs, and apart from some textures that need some work, it looks almost immaculate too! In fact, this might be a new benchmark in the RPG world.
Excellent replay value
Great controls
Several outcomes in the story
Could look a bit better

Syttende Mai, from Oslo to L.A.
Published May 1, 2017 · Updated December 26, 2020
Memories of past holidays mix with celebrations still occurring in Norwegian enclaves

Scrapbook photos show Patricia Zanuck enjoying(?) Syttende Mai in Oslo in 1974. Now she celebrates the holiday with her 13-year-old son outside of Los Angeles.
Larrie Wanberg
Sixty years ago on a Fulbright Fellowship to the University of Oslo, I became immersed face-to-face in my ancestral heritage as a Norwegian American, which culminated when standing on the curb of Karl Johans gate in Oslo to participate in the 17th of May celebration of Norwegian Constitution Day.
I experienced the massive parade of young children waving Norwegian flags, the school bands, the youth graduating from Gymnas (known as Russ) who marched wearing special colored caps, crowds of people in distinctive colorful national costumes representing their local communities, and then the array of picnic-type foods that are served to feed a full day of celebration.
The event has marked a milestone memory in my life that I have since relived several times in Norway and many times over six decades across the broad landscape of America. I have realized over the years how widespread and deeply held traditions of the 17th of May are embodied in celebrations in both large metropolitan cities in the U.S and in small towns scattered across the Midwest and coastal regions in the West.
I contacted friends, family, and acquaintances of other Norwegian Americans to get their reflections on the 17th of May celebrations in their lives, while also researching places where Nordic traditions are still prominent events.
I first talked with my Norwegian-born friend from college days, Arne Brekke (age 90 this year), who came to Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, in 1947.
"My earliest memories of May 17," he said, "are from grade school in Flåm… games on the school playground… a march to Flåm church… adults and children dressed in national costumes and carrying Norwegian flags."
He continued, "During the war, 1940-45, celebrations of our Constitution Day were not allowed, but it was celebrated all the more fervently when the war was over." He forecasted that with today's age of telecommunication and the ease of jet travel to visit Norway, the annual celebrations will last for many more generations. (For a short video on Arne's life philosophy, visit www.DakotaHeritageInstitute.com.)
Celebrations on May 17th are well-rooted in smaller towns throughout our country. For examples, a cross-section list in six states includes Decorah, Iowa; Grand Forks, N.D.; Stoughton, Wis.; Spring Grove, Minn.; Poulsbo, Wash.; Clifton, Texas; and San Pedro, Calif.
The Norwegian Seamen's Church in San Pedro near Los Angeles will host an annual traditional celebration on May 17 with speeches, a block parade, games, activities, and plenty of food, including servings of Norwegian hot dogs, marzipan cake, and ice cream cones for the children.
Patricia Zanuck, a Norwegian-born activities-blog writer who has lived most of her life in the United States, describes her participation in May 17th celebrations with her husband and two school-age sons in the L.A. area. They spend summers as a family in Norway and her sons, when they are in school, keep in touch with the grandparents in Oslo via Facetime on cell phones.
"This year on Sunday May 21, there will be a larger celebration at Nansen Field (a soccer field) in Rolling Hills Estates that begins with a church service, patriotic speeches, and a parade, music, foods that include Norwegian-style hot dogs, Solo soft drink, waffles among other things, and traditional games for kids," Zanuck explains.
"What I like best about these celebrations is that they are casual, laid-back events and very family friendly. Norwegian pride truly comes out on these days."
When her 13-year-old son was asked how he feels about going to 17th of May celebrations, he answered, "The celebrations make me feel special that I'm Norwegian."

Larrie Wanberg, 1920–2021, contributed features to The Norwegian American for many years, drawing on eight decades of life experience highlighted by three career recognitions: as a researcher through a Fulbright Scholarship to Norway in 1957; as a health care provider in behavioral science through a 27-year military career and awarded upon retirement in 1981 the highest non-combat medal, the Legion of Merit medal; as an educator, through a 50-year career in college education, culminating in the 2010 Public Scholar award at the UND Center for Community Engagement. Wanberg passed away in May, 2021.

The work, which took place during the fourth week of April, was directed towards these agents that in meetings, conventions, expos, weddings and fairs. There were 491 events of this type hosted in the Destination last year, 230 of which were organized by national companies.
The first stop was Eventos MICE DF. The Riviera Nayarit hosted a breakfast for 50 meeting planners; besides the keynote address by the CVB, there were also round tables offering information from the Destination's hotels.
The workshops for the incentive agencies consisted in visiting some of the top companies including Groups To Go, American Express, Koch Overseas, Innova, CTS, among others. The hotel representatives updated the firms, and they also opened negotiations to eventually bring more groups to the Riviera Nayarit in the near future.
A full 56.4% of the tourists that arrived in 2014 were domestic visitors. The meetings and events segment attracted 97,286 visitors to the destination last year.
The Riviera Nayarit CVB's official Poll provided the statistics and data for this article.

What to Look Out For This Week
As you've probably read a thousand times today in your friends' Facebook statuses and uninspired tweets, Labor Day marks the end of summer. But that means it's only the beginning for television. The fall season is fast approaching and, with it, a slew of new content to watch, consume, and make you feel good about life/hate the hacks that trick you into watching stuff on the picture tube. Here at Monsters of Television, we hope to help you cut through the garbage and check out the things we're looking forward to this week.
Mad Men – "The Suitcase"
I know this aired on Sunday night but the episode is that good. If you haven't caught it yet, set your DVRs for the re-runs this week. Then read the reviews (including ours).
You've heard me mention it about a hundred times on this site, between Parenthood reviews and any opportunity I can fit it in (it's like Lost with Matt), but it's time you caught up. ABC Family will start the re-run cycle of Gilmore Girls this Tuesday and play the entire series in order from the beginning. Stick with it. It's good. Swear, dude. Well, until Season 3 and then it goes bad for a while. But come back for late season 3, early season 4. I defy you to deny Lorelai Gilmore. Starting Tuesday, 5PM on ABC Family
Warehouse 13 – "Where and When"
Bridging the gap between the end of summer TV and the beginning of the fall season, Warehouse 13 continues blending historical fiction with science fiction and adding to the reasons why Syfy might actually be able to compete with network and cable original programming. Allison Scagliotti (who plays Claudia Donovan, a student of the Veronica Mars school of snark) teased via her twitter account: "Ever wonder what would happen if #Warehouse13 ate an episode of #MadMen? Tune in tonight for a blast from the past." Tuesday, 9PM on Syfy
Hellcats – "A Word Full of Strangers"
Stars Alyson Michalka and Ashley Tisdale aren't just trying out for the competitive cheer squad, they're gonna have to prove to the audience that they can step up from their Disney Channel pasts. Keeping with the CW staple of very pretty pretty young people and a Top 40 soundtrack, Hellcats is hoping to help land its network at the top of the pyramid. Will it stick the landing? Wednesday, 8PM on The CW
White Collar – "Point Blank"
The summer finale looks to explore what's inside of the music box, a lazy plot point that has meandered through this season, ranking in importance just under what happened to Kate (something Neal has only had a casual interest in this season). Interesting in the promo is Neal's use of a gun, which, as any viewer knows, is the mark of dubious characters in the series. 98% of me says that it's part of a con but part of me thinks it might be the act of a desperate man (plus, Alex comes back — hooray!). Tuesday, 10PM on USA
Psych – "One, Maybe Two, Ways Out"
So Psych's summer finale probably won't finish as strong as the season finale (or probably most of the episodes coming up on the latter half of this season) but it should be a fun romp, especially now that they've introduced the possibility of Shules (though odds that something important in that relationship will occur here: slim). Wednesday, 10PM on USA
Terriers – "Pilot"
The pedigree is strong with the writer of Ocean's 11 and Shawn Ryan from The Shield. Donal Logue appears to be playing the character I wanted Jason Lee to play in Memphis Beat, a detective down on his luck, sinking to rock bottom, hustling, trying to make it all work. It looks good and has a lot of potential, even though FX is throwing a ton of marketing behind it (which, as we know from Paul Blart, Mall Cop, that means they're not sure the show can sell itself). Wednesday, 10PM on FX
Nikita – "Pilot"
Remember when USA aired an action show about a highly trained operative with vague ties to the government? No, no, not Burn Notice. Le Femme Nikita! Yeah, it aired on USA from 1997 to 2001 (right before the network's retooling began), and has no been remade with the ever awesome Maggie Q. No doubt some things have changed, but as long as there's conspiracy and ass-kicking, it'll hopefully be entertaining. Thursday 9PM on The CW
Chuck Presents – Buy Hard: The Jeff and Lester Story
While not necessarily something that's going to air on television, the people at Chuck did the thing we hoped they would by making a webisode series based on Jeff and Lester going on the lam. (Un)fortunately, they used this opportunity to also tie in some sponsorship so the series will serve as a paid advertising for Halo: Reach. You can catch the web series all this week on the Warner Bros. page for Chuck.

When parents are not present to care for their children or deemed to be unfit, another close family member such as a grandparent, aunt or uncle can seek a guardianship to gain temporary custody and responsibility for the care of the child.
If you are seeking a guardianship, or need help defending against a guardianship being granted, you can turn to The Law Offices of Frank J. Toti for help. As you face this legal matter, which could have a profound effect on a child's life, you can trust attorney Frank J. Toti and his over 18 years of family law experience.
If you are seeking help for a guardianship in Las Vegas or elsewhere in Clark County, call 702-517-5687 or 866-470-8526 for a free consultation.
Frank J. Toti and Audrey J. Beeson understand the complexities of legal guardianship proceedings. Guardianships can take a number of forms such as Guardianships of minors, Guardianships of Adults, and Guardianships of Adults with special needs.
While the legal guardian has legal and physical custody of the child, that does not terminate the responsibility of the parents to provide child support. Regardless of the circumstances surrounding your guardianship case, attorneys Frank J. Toti and Audrey J. Beeson can help you pursue the best possible outcome.
To arrange a free initial consultation, contact The Law Offices of Frank J. Toti.

The experiences of Black men in the United States are significantly different from men of other racial and ethnic backgrounds. Black men have to deal with racism on a daily basis. Understanding of the effects of daily racism and its implications is limited. Racial battle fatigue is a relatively new concept in the field of mental health. The current chapter discusses the concept of racial battle fatigue and its effects on Black men. The authors discuss both the physical and psychological effects of daily racism on the health of Black men.
Psychological Outcomes From Race Battle Fatigue And Black Men
There are 57.7 million adults aged 18 years and older in the US alone who have a mental health diagnosis; out of these, 7.5 million are African Americans (Ward & Besson, 2013). Despite the ongoing problem of Blacks being underserved in the mental health field (Sue, 2012; Sue, 2015), additional research is needed to explore the effects of racial stress, mental health problems, and help-seeking behaviors of Black men. Mental health is an illness that no one is exempt from regardless of race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation as well as age, and socioeconomic status (Ward & Besson, 2013).
Blacks share a history of being self-reliant and resilient; therefore, they may be resistant to seek support for mental health problems (Holden, McGregor, Blanks, & Mahaffey, 2012). Holden et al. (2012) further contended that African Americans (Blacks) are 30% more likely to have a mental disorder compared to Caucasians. Holden et al. further related that African Americans (Blacks) are less likely to receive proper diagnoses and proper treatment for mental illness, thus causing them to function at lower levels and have greater disabilities as a result of untreated mental disorders.
Clinical depression affects 5 to ten percent of Black men (Ward & Mengesha, 2013). The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fifth Edition (DSM-5) authored by the American Psychiatric Association [APA] (2013) reported that symptoms of major depressive disorder (MDD) are daily or almost daily. According to the DSM-5, these symptoms included depressed mood, noticeably diminished interest in activities once enjoyed, and changes in weight and appetite, thus leading to significant weight loss or gain. Additional symptoms of MDD include: insomnia or hypersomnia, feelings of restlessness, being slowed down and fatigue, loss of energy, feeling worthless or guilty, inability to concentrate or being indecisive, and recurrent thoughts of death and recurrent suicidal ideation (APA, 2013). Clinical depression is one of the risk factors for suicide. Depression left untreated could lead Black men to commit suicide. The US Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Minority Health (HHSOMH) (n.d.). reported that, in 2014, Black men committed suicide four times more than Black women. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP) (2017) suggested that suicide is the third leading cause of death for Black men between the ages of 10-24.

IRAN, TIBETANS, FOREIGN POLICY.
1. Key points at the October 27 MFA press briefing:
-- China would deepen ties with Egypt and promote China-Africa and
China-Arab ties at the early November Ministerial Conference of the
Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt
-- China hoped relevant parties would quickly reach a consensus on
IAEA's proposal to supply fuel to Iran's nuclear reactors.
-- PRC authorities had strictly followed Chinese criminal law and
legal procedures in convicting and executing two Tibetans for
involvement in the March 14 incident.

China-Africa Forum
2. Asked about China's expectations for the 4th Ministerial
Conference of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) to be
held in early November in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, MFA spokesperson
Ma Zhaoxu replied that Egypt was the first African-Arab country to
establish ties with China and that this year marked the 10th
anniversary of Sino-Egypt strategic and cooperative ties. China
looked to further deepen its pragmatic links with Egypt and to
promote China-Africa and China-Arab relations. China expected the
4th Ministerial Conference to build off cooperative results since
the 2006 Beijing Summit and 3rd Ministerial Conference. The meeting
would be of great significance to advancing China-African relations
and to strengthening joint cooperation across the board. Ma added
that one could expect to see cooperative agreements signed, the
issuance of a FOCAC Sharm el-Sheikh declaration, and a 2010-2012
Action Plan meant to guide the future course of bilateral relations
and as a blueprint for cooperative efforts for the next three years.
Turning to aid, Ma stated that China's aid to African countries
would be continuous and long-term. China and Africa would continue
to exchange views on trade and economic cooperation "so as to reach
a new consensus."
3. Asked for China's position on Iranian press articles calling for
cooperation and fuel supply from China, Ma responded that
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Mohamed
ElBaradei had put forward a proposal for the supply of fuel to
Iran's nuclear reactors. China hoped the parties through
consultations would reach a consensus at an early date.
Executions of Tibetans
4. Asked whether China had executed two Tibetans convicted of
involvement in the March 14 incident, Ma confirmed that "two
criminals had been executed." Regarding the March 14 convictions,
PRC authorities had strictly followed Chinese criminal law and legal
procedures, Ma added. Lawyers of the defendants fully expressed
their views, Tibetan interpreters were provided, ensuring the
legitimate rights of the defendants were guaranteed. The cases were
handled according to law and the trials were reviewed and approved
by the Supreme People's Court. Ma referred the journalist to
China's judicial authorities for more thorough answers.
U.S. Embargo on Cuba
5. Asked for China's position on the U.S. embargo on Cuba, Ma stated
that the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) held a vote on
lifting the U.S. embargo. China's position was that all countries
should abide by the UN charter, and that state-to-state relations
should be based on equality and mutual respect. China maintained
that the embargo should be lifted at an early date.
ROK Veteran to DPRK
6. Asked for information on the 81-year old Republic of Korea (ROK)
veteran, Choi Sung-yong, arrested by Chinese authorities after
escaping from 57 years of captivity in North Korea, Ma replied that
he had no specific information on this case. Regarding "illegal
border crossers," China followed international law and humanitarian
principles.

Ford Motor Company engineer Yu Xiangdong, on charges of espionage,
Ma replied that he was not aware of case specifics but noted that
China was closely following this case to ensure that the national's
rights were guaranteed. China's Consul General in Chicago had
already sent officers to visit Yu according to the regulations of
China-U.S. Consular Treaty.
Principle of Non-interference
8. Asked whether China's increasingly active role in world affairs
was consistent with China's policy of noninterference in other
countries' internal policies, Spokesperson Ma Zhaoxu told the
journalist that his question "should be raised in academic
seminars." China adopted an independent foreign policy consistent
with its path of peaceful development and the building of a
harmonious world, Ma added. China would continue to play a positive
and cooperative role in world affairs and in building a harmonious
world. China's principle of non-interference was universally
acknowledged and was in line with its five principles of peaceful
coexistence.
U.S. Plane in Guangdong
9. Responding to the reported discovery of a U.S. B-29 bomber that
had crashed in Guangdong Province on November 5, 1950 -- shortly
before China's attack on U.S. troops in Korea -- Ma replied that he
had no information on the matter and would get back to the
journalist.

Peter Olds (born 1944) is a New Zealand poet who was born in Christchurch and lives in Dunedin.  He is regarded as being a significant contributor within New Zealand literary circles, in particular, having an influence with younger poets in the 1970s. He has held the University of Otago Robert Burns Fellowship and was the inaugural winner of the Janet Frame Literary Award.  During the 1970s he spent time in the community of Jerusalem with James K Baxter.

Selected publications

Early work
Olds left school at 15, settled in Dunedin in the mid-60s and began writing in 1966, completing a one-act play while he was employed by the Globe Theatre building stage sets. In 1968 he suffered a breakdown, and after spending time in a mental hospital, joined James K. Baxter at the Jerusalem commune, returning to Dunedin in 1971 in order to write his first volume of poetry, Lady Moss Revived (1972). This was followed by V-8 Poems (1972), The Snow and the Glass Window (1973), Freeway (1974), Doctor's Rock (1976) and Beethoven's Guitar and After Looking for Broadway  (1980). His published broadsheets include Exit: 2 Poems (1971), Schizophrenic Highway (1971), and The Habits You Left Behind: Poem (1972). He replied to his friend James K. Baxter's poem Letter to Peter Olds (1972) with his Doctor's Rock.

Later collections
Poetry Reading at Kaka Point was published in 2006, and In the Dragon Cafe, which features Letter to Hone Tuwhare in 2007.
Under the Dundas Street Bridge, previewed as being "personal...the author takes us tripping down alleyways of his own confusion: waterbottle in backpack, notepad in hand, stalking the town like an evangelist on a mission", was released in 2012.
In 2014 You fit the description: the selected poems of Peter Olds was published. A review of the book by the publisher included an introduction by Ian Wedde.

Taking my Jacket for a Walk, a work completed by Olds in 2017, was translated into Spanish in 2020 by Dr Rogelio Guedea, a "Mexican-born poet, crime novelist and academic", who taught Spanish at the University of Otago where he became familiar with Old's work. Guedea said that Olds was an important writer whose work deserved to be read more widely.  He described Olds as having a "great critical sense of humour...[and was]...wonderful at capturing the absurdity of life". Olds was surprised and pleased with the outcome.

Sheep Truck and other poems (2022) is described on the publisher's website as "a collection of 29 new poems by veteran Dunedin poet Peter Olds. Subjects include flying, dental treatment, encountering Charles Bukowski in the Dunedin Public Library, and not wanting to get out of bed."

Impact on the NZ literary scene
The Oxford Companion to New Zealand Literature notes that Olds was "considered a central figure to many younger poets in the 1970s because of his ability to incorporate rebellious detail of contemporary experience with music, drugs and the concerns and language of the street." When promoting a symposium to Olds in September 2019, the University of Otago published [that] "Peter Olds' writing has been important to poets and other readers of New Zealand poetry since the 1970s, bringing to the centre of attention the unidentified, unclaimed, the marginal, the dispossessed, the trespasser, but also the exuberant, the childish, the lively and the conversational."

David Eggleton has said of him as a poet: Olds is a master of laconic comedy, offering us delicate absurdist perceptions robustly expressed: childhood winter mornings in an antiquated Christchurch, a portrait of his father as 'a clergyman sitting up in bed ... rolling a racehorse cigarette', a glancing view of a dog described as ' a walking/ chucked-out bargain-basement carpet'...Olds weaves a consciousness of the moment into a personal mythography.

Influences on his work
Influences on his poetry include American rock'n'roll, the 1950s beat poetry of Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac, and many aspects from the counter-culture of the time such as drugs, sex and depression are regular themes, particularly in his early poetry. The Poet Laureate, David Eggleton argued that Olds' personal vision in his poems is reflected in  "life, death, greed, humanity, poverty, gentrification, Methodism, bees, love, spirituality, medication, buses, trains, clapped-out pre-War Fords, and an immaculately restored white Oldsmobile Convertible with pink vinyl hood...echoing Jack Keouac's On the Road...the beat generation, reaching New Zealand and its 1950s bodgies and widgies, and reaching Peter Olds, too, as he recalled in his 2012 jukebox poem 'Love Me Do/1963'."

A friendship with James K. Baxter influenced what has been called the romantic tendency toward "reflective narratives of circumstantial personal experience" in his poetry.  Being the son of a Methodist minister, Olds also shared a religious background with Baxter and one commentator has noted that it is "easy to see how such early influences could lead the young Olds to identify with the vatic power of language and poetry's associated mystique...[and see]... Baxter as a liberating example of the poet-seer's defiant non-conformity." Victor Billot has said of an early interaction with Baxter, that "a bearded poet-shaman with burning eyes staring at you on a street corner in Dunedin … asking [Olds] to join him on God's instruction at a backwoods commune" was likely to have made a big impact on the young poet at that time in his life.

When his poem At Murdering Beach was published, Olds shared one aspect of his inspiration: I love to go to places of interest where people once lived in pre-European times. I like to imagine what it was like for those who had only a bone and stone technology between themselves and extinction. In the year 2000 & something, Murdering Beach (Whareakeake) is not a bad place for a picnic and a swim. Some surfers find good swells out among the black rocks beyond the cliffs at the ends of the beach.

Community recognition
When the Dunedin City Council published A Town trod by Poets (2020), to celebrate the city being designated as a UNESCO Creative City of Literature, Olds said he had "always wanted to be a photographer...I love the visual in poetry — this [book] was a great opportunity to marry the two." Dunedin City of Literature director Nicky Page described Old's images  as  "brilliant, noting that he had "subsequently offered some of his personal photographs for this exciting project, and his magnificent series of local graffiti images will be a source of nostalgia for one generation and intrigue for another."

In recognition of his contribution to local literature, Olds' name was added to the Dunedin Writers' Walk with an official plaque unveiled on Friday 18 February 2022.  The Mayor of Dunedin Aaron Hawkins, said the walk through the Octagon was an "ever-present reminder of why the city had been designated by Unesco as a City of Literature."  Roger Hickin, a publisher who had a long association with Olds, described him as Dunedin's "unofficial poet laureate", noting that the award was a long over due  acknowledgement of poems which were often vivid and authentic stories that captured what happened on the streets.

Awards
Olds held the Robert Burns Fellowship in 1978.
A work by Olds, Disjointed on Wellington Railway Station was selected for Best New Zealand Poems 2001.
In 2005 Olds was the first recipient of the Janet Frame Literary Trust Award for Poetry.
