The US Supreme Court upheld on June 21 the government's authority to ban aid from being supplied to designated terrorist groups.
Many argue such aid is a necessity to persuading some groups toward peaceful and legal activities. A number of human rights organizations claim the ban hinders their ability to persuade people to abandon radicalism, since the ban prohibits the organizations to offer speeches and political training. The justices voted 6-3 to reject a free-speech challenge from humanitarian aid groups.
"This law, for the first time in the history of the United States, makes a crime out of pure speech that is aimed at peaceful non-violent lawful conduct," said professor and human rights activist Ralph Fertig.
Fertig said that restricting the speech of individuals based on political classifications enacted by the State Department is wrong, it violates one's right to free speech.
"Jimmy Carter would have been arrested under this law for negotiating and monitoring elections in Syria because he had to talk to organizations that had been labeled terrorists," said Fertig.
Fertig argued that a ban on passing material goods is one thing, but a ban on giving speeches and providing verbal training violates his right to speech and impedes the humanitarian process.
"My speech is not tradable for anything that could be used for violence," said Fertig.

← The Road to Scindy V—Rebuilding Ambition
Whau Peys Siller-Heids Their Siller? →
History Repeating Itself?
For weeks now, Vladimir Putin and his spokespersons have been protesting that Russia has no intentions of invading Ukraine. Though it may just be grandstanding to get Western attention—and perhaps a few concession—by playing the only face card he has; a beefy military.
Reactions n the West have been generally nervous, but it is only in the last few days that the Americans have declared the window for a Russian invasion is now open.
Three weeks ago, our blog На Запад! (Westward Ho!) provided both a context for this and a prediction of likely action. A second blog a week later My Beautiful Landrette-ski suggested effective financial measures to restrain Putin and persuade him to back down. While most sensible people want de-escalation, there have been no signs of diplomacy making any headway in this.
UK leadership has lately supported NATO and the American line that invasion had become a real possibility. Foreign Secretary Liz Truss's comments that "Russia will get bogged down, as it did in Chechnya and Afghanistan" betrays a poor grasp of the different military and geographical factors that apply to Ukraine.
Now, Ben Wallace has waded into the debate and is receiving some stick for making an analogy with the situation that obtained pre-WW2 when German threats against Czechoslovakia were thought to have been solved by diplomacy at a conference in Munich in September, 1938.
"It may be that Putin just switches off his tanks and we all go home, but there is a whiff of Munich in the air from some in the West."
—UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace, The Times, February 12th 2022
But might he be right? Apologists have already stepped in to say this was intended to highlight the possibility that Putin my be no more sincere in his diplomatic smoke-screen than Hitler was. Any reader of Mein Kampf should not have been surprised at this. Similarly, anyone following Putin's writings on Russians and Ukrainians being "one people" should similarly not be surprised.
For the parallels in the two situations 84 years apart are more extensive than diplomatic bluff. Consider:
Egotistical dictator whips up popularity by declaring he will reassert lost glory of an empire of which they had once been proud
Dictator picks on adjacent, weaker country that is struggling to establish identity, having only existed as a sovereign state for a couple of decades
Dictator protests that "lost" territories in the weaker state include many native-speakers who are being "repressed" by indigenous nationalists hostile to them
Despite fielding a professional army that poses no threat to the dictator, the weaker state is militarily indefensible, being surrounded on three sides
Dictators increase status in the world by rattling sabres. This means massing on the border, while decrying others as aggressors force this defensive posture.
Slicing off a border area where most native-speakers live destabilises the weaker state and makes the rest even less defensible.
Once you roll in, distant allies of the weaker state may protest but it's a fait accompli they have no choice but to accept.
For "Soviet Union", substitute "German Empire"; for "Ukraine" substitute"Czechoslovakia"; for "Russian minority" substitute "German minority"; for "Donbas/Lubyansk/Crimea" substitute "Sudetenland".
Only point 7 has yet to occur. Hitler waited six months before taking over the rump Czechoslovakia in March 1939. It's doubtful Putin has that kind of patience.
"The Western democracies are worms; I saw them at Munich."
—Adolf Hitler, 1938
Chamberlain, Daladier, Hitler, Mussolini & Ciano at Munich, September 1939

The Google Store updated its new navigation design that accidentally outed not only the Nest Hub Max, a yet mysterious device with a 10 inch display, but also the Pixel 3a and the Pixel 3a XL smartphones.
By tapping 'Phone' in the app's bar reveals a list that mentions the Pixel 3a, just under the Pixel 3. There's also an option to purchase the Google Pixel 3a case in the 'Accessories' section and, according to the URL, which ends in 'pixel_3a_case_fabric', the case's material will be the same as the existing one.
The accidental listing confirmed the phone with a 5.6 inch OLED screen, Android 9 Pie, a Snapdragon 670, 4GB of RAM, a 12 MP rear camera and a 3,000 mAh battery. The Pixel 3a XL on the other hand will have a 6 inch display.
Both devices will arrive with Active Edge sides and a Titan M security chip.

Barry's Blog # 180: Trump: Madness, Machines, Migrations and Mythology, Part Two
Posted by Barry Spector on November 16, 2016 at 9:00pm
Groping is a healthy thing to do. When you're heterosexual, you grope, okay? – Female Trump supporter.
Race and Gender
I predicted during the Democratic primaries that
…Clinton will almost certainly win the nomination because she swept these states – none of which the Democrats have the slightest hope of winning in November. So her Southern support will prove to be crucial to her nomination but useless in the general election, where Republicans will continue to sweep the South…This bears repeating: Hillary swept the Old South in the primaries, but she has no hope of getting any of their votes in the Electoral College. Partially because of voter suppression…and partially because of old-fashioned racism…these states will all go to Donald Trump.
Some writers have compared this period to the 1860s, and I have to agree. In Chapter Eight of my book I tried to understand what motivated soldiers who fought for the Confederacy:
…we wonder why several hundred thousand dirt-poor whites who couldn't afford to own slaves defended this cause so savagely. We must conclude that they fought not to save slavery (which was against their own economic interests), but to perpetuate white privilege. It was all they had.
It really is a similar time. We are talking about the breakdown of the myth of American Innocence and the collapse of one of its core assumptions, the heroic, ruggedly individualistic, working-class white male worker/provider. As in previous times of economic and social instability, racism increases as a reaction to the perceived danger to white male identity.
David Masciotra argues that "…black progress is the trigger of white rage… As soon as people of color start setting terms for coexistence, the mask comes off and a beast comes out." He lives in a small town in Indiana, where
…white Americans are not studying the numbers of NAFTA and contemplating the strengths and weaknesses of protectionism. Many are practicing a soft racism, though, invisible to the naked eye too easily distracted by the overt bigotry of white supremacists…
In this election, in addition, the gender gap expanded to the widest in history. However, while it was no surprise that white men were Trump's base, we have to ask: despite his disgusting and vulgar misogyny, despite majority support for abortion rights, despite Republican policies designed to hurt women, why did 53% of white women support him?
We know this from exit polls. Everything we are told about who voted and why comes from thousands of interviews conducted by professional poll takers as people exited the polling booths. More on this later. Much more.
Seen from a certain perspective, every election since 1964 has been about race, and this was no different, as the post-election spike in harassment and hate crimes confirms. Granted, Clinton was deeply unpopular, but Trump's message, obvious to everyone but the most naïve, was "Make America white again." Here is statistical support for this argument.
We must acknowledge that in American myth, white privilege and fear – specifically the fear of the racialized Other – still outweigh gender solidarity, not to mention rational self-interest. Chapter Seven of my book describes how, for over three hundred years, the elites and their gatekeepers have manipulated narratives of the sacred responsibility to protect the purity of "their" women and to ignore their privileges by identifying as victims of the truly oppressed.
And more white women than we might have thought are still willing to consume such stories. How about those with college degrees? The Trump support numbers go down only to 51%. Think about that number. We are not talking about working class men who are anxious about their declining authority and lost jobs; we're talking about women who in countless offices and bureaucratic situations are their bosses. We're talking about women who have attained agency and self-determination, many of whom consider themselves feminists, but who are still terrified by the prospect of muggers and terrorists.
About that new narrative of rural voters: it turns out that average Trump voters are not uneducated, they don't live in the country, and their income is over $70,000/year, much higher than both the national average and the incomes of Clinton and Sanders voters. And rural voters, who usually vote Republican anyway, made up only 17% of the electorate. Such people had not suffered under Obama; indeed they had thrived, writes Eric Sasson:
They're not suffering or desperate, and have no concrete reason to hate the status quo or to feel like they are in decline. They understand that Trump is manifestly unprepared to be president, have heard his many lies and insults, yet voted for him anyway.
Trump's support came from the same Republican base that supported Mitt Romney and all their predecessors who have manipulated the white vote and its racialized fears for generations (despite the Republican leaders who briefly repudiated him), plus some disaffected working-class people. And quite a few of them were the women that Clinton had expected would support her.
Is it possible to be financially comfortable, to believe in women's equality (the vast majority of both genders do), and still hold racist beliefs, or at the very least, irrational fear of dark skin? Apparently so. L. V. Anderson writes:
…the biggest and saddest reason white women chose Trump over Clinton is simple: racism…They wanted to vote on the side of white men. White women decided that defending their position of power as white people was more important than defending their reproductive rights, their sexual autonomy, their access to health care, family leave, and child care…Most white women still identify more with white men than they do with black women, Latina women, Muslim women, transwomen…
Michael Moore argues that race was not the primary factor:
You have to accept that millions of people who voted for Barack Obama, some of them once, some of them twice, changed their minds this time. They're not racist. They twice voted for a man whose middle name is Hussein. That's the America you live in.
May it be so. Maybe such people would have been open to a progressive candidate. Maybe they would have voted for Sanders. But the fact remains that Clinton received far fewer votes than Obama. Perhaps the changed minds he refers to had more to do with staying home. Meanwhile, the Ku Klux Klan is having a victory parade.
Masciotra disagrees:
The soft racist gets along with his black and Latino coworkers, waves to the Arab neighbors, and gives a friendly greeting to the parents of color at his child's school, but all the while he feels that America is his country. The virtue of his whiteness gives him ownership. Should a black president, or a Black Lives Matter protest, or a Latino presence in his neighborhood threaten his sense of entitlement, superiority and authority, he feels resentful, even hateful.
But we need to go deeper.

Thus was this week's teaser from New Scientist, which intrigued me. Unfortunately, the article is behind a paywall. But I've found a PDF of this week's issue, so I will see if I can find out if I am, in fact, delusional (assuming I hold any of the offending beliefs).
However--the author made a statement that echoes something I've said a few times: "Surprisingly large numbers of people also hold beliefs that a psychiatrist would class as delusional." So--is the rightness of a belief determined by the majority? Or by the scientist? That's a red flag to me. Yet, I can't disagree with it. Scientists are often right. (They are also often wrong.). In the end, I tend to agree with scientists who designate some beliefs as delusional. But only because they are held by people who are diagnosed as mentally ill. The belief, itself, may not be inherently delusional, but the believer may be, for a number of reasons. I make these sorts of distinctions... Does science?

Technical schools hope group's vote leads to…
Technical schools hope group's vote leads to better student access
By Evan Lips |
PUBLISHED: November 15, 2011 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: July 12, 2019 at 12:00 a.m.
"Should" is just one word, but when written into state education law, its interpretation can cause a seismic rift between school districts.
In the case of Tewksbury's public schools and Shawsheen Valley Technical High School, it's the inconsistent meaning of the word that has spelled trouble.
But school officials statewide are hoping a resolution passed at Friday's Massachusetts Association of School Committees conference will put the issue to bed.
The law currently states that schools "should" provide eighth-graders the chance to visit vocational-technical schools. That word could be changed to "must" if the state Legislature votes the resolution into law.
Nashoba Valley Technical High School Committee member Sam Poulten compared the vagueness of the current wording to what would happen if traffic law stated that drivers "should" stop at all stop signs.
"If police pulled a driver over and that was the law, there's no way it would hold up in court," Poulten, also a delegate to the Massachusetts Association of School Committees, said yesterday.
A 59-48 hand vote means the ambiguity will most likely end.
Kristen Polimeno, a Tewksbury School Committee member and MASC voting delegate, said there was one significant reason she voted against the resolution: Time spent outside the classroom visiting Shawsheen Tech "takes away from time that could have been spent on learning."
But Chelmsford, which has a sometimes-icy relationship with Nashoba Tech over visits, established a system last spring in which eighth-graders visit Nashoba during teacher-development days.
Polimeno praised Chelmsford's creative thinking and said she is impressed by two amendments that were added to the MASC resolution. One amendment requires vocational-technical schools to pay the busing costs for eighth-graders on visitation days, and the other is a student "opt-out," meaning students are not required to attend a visitation day if they choose not to.
Last month, the Tewksbury School Committee voted 4-0 both to continue barring students from visiting Shawsheen Tech and the practice of having Shawsheen Tech guidance counselors visit Tewksbury's eighth-grade classrooms.
Kevin McKenzie, Groton's representative on the Nashoba Tech School Committee, said Tewksbury's opposition to the resolution smacks of "pure jealousy" and "an unwillingness to change the way things were done in the past."
"The school committees shouldn't dictate where these students should go to school," said MacKenzie, who drafted the resolution. "Friday's vote speaks that people are fed up with this behavior."
Tewksbury School Committee members cited the fact that Shawsheen Tech does not have to adhere to Proposition 2 1/2 as one reason behind the ban.
But McKenzie argued that Shawsheen Tech was able to build its new $4.7 million life-sciences wing on the strength of Superintendent Charlie Lyons' ability to work with the Massachusetts School Building Authority.
Lyons could not be reached yesterday for comment.
Nashoba Tech Superintendent Judith Klimkiewicz said yesterday no one knows yet what the penalty would be if a school district did not comply with the resolution, which will have teeth if the state Legislature ratifies it.
"They'd be violating a regulation from a regulatory agency," she said. "The important thing is that the decision for whether a technical education is appropriate is something that should be made by a parent, guardian and student."
Chelmsford School Committee member and MASC delegate Evelyn Thoren said she was instructed to vote against the resolution because it was presented differently when her committee first reviewed it.
Since the resolution is no longer an "unfunded mandate" — a reference to the amendment passed at the conference requiring vocational-technical schools to pay busing fees for visiting students — there was a chance Thoren and the Chelmsford School Committee would have supported it, Poulten said.

The Battle of Grozny of March 1996, also known as Operation Retribution, was a three-day surprise attack by Chechen fighters who stormed the capital city of Grozny that was occupied by Russian Armed Forces.

Background

By June 1995 the Chechens had lost all the major cities and towns. On General Aslan Maskhadov's orders, the Chechen resistance shifted from conventional warfare to guerrilla warfare, relying on the mountains.

Battle

On March 6, 1996 Chechen fighters launched a surprise attack on Grozny, striking from three directions and encircling outlying Russian posts and  local pro-Moscow Chechen police stations, catching Russian troops off guard, inflicting significant losses, overrunning much of it and capturing weapons and ammunition stores. The attack was supposedly intended to show that the Chechens could still operate against Russian forces.

Aftermath

Three days later, after the Chechens left the city, fighting in the Grozny continued for several more days; the Russian units that entered Grozny periodically engaged in battle with one another, mistaking each other for the enemy.

President Dzokhar Dudayev allegedly called the attack a "little harassing operation". The attack was only a rehearsal for a much larger operation that took place in August 1996.

From cancer to camp, Loretta shares how art, community and connection saved her life.
While recovering from a life-threatening illness, artist Loretta Bozung was invited to spend a winter in the Northern California Redwoods at a summer camp retreat that was closed for the season. During this time of healing and communing with nature, her passion for creativity was rekindled, and she wanted to share the experience with others.
In collaboration with fellow artists and friends, Bozung created Camp ArtSeen, an annual, weekend art retreat combining the playfulness of summer camp, the inspiration of art school, and the opportunity to just let go. Now in its third year, Camp ArtSeen brings together working artists, aspiring makers, and curious creative types to make art and make friends in a beautiful, peaceful setting, far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
The art retreat schedule changes a bit each year, but typical activities include art workshops, yoga, live music, movie night, glow-in-the-dark bocce ball, sunbathing and swimming, hiking, sharing organic meals, and plenty of free time to hike alone or share stories with fellow campers over a glass of wine.
In 2014, Bozung realized she couldn't wait another year to make art with friends, so she started hosting mini art retreat workshops in San Francisco.


"Chinese firms' sustainable development-The role of future orientation," by Zhiqiang Liu, Ji Li et al.
In this research, we study the issues of corporate sustainable development in China. Based on relevant research, we propose a theoretical model showing the relationship among business environmental commitment, cultural value, employee training, and firm performance of sustainable development. It is argued that a cultural value (i.e., organizational future orientation) should be a key antecedent predicting business environmental commitment. On the other hand, a firm's sustainable performance, such as performance in environmental protection, should be a major consequence of its business environmental commitment. Moreover, the relationship between business environmental commitment and sustainable performance can be moderated positively by the level of employee training. Other conditions being equal, the better the employee training is, the stronger the relationship between business environmental commitment and sustainable development performance. Testing the relevant hypotheses in China, we find evidence supporting our model proposed in this paper. We conclude with a discussion on the implications of our findings for academic researchers and practitioners. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.


It's possible that the U.S. mission to provide intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance in Africa could grow, said Lt. Gen. Larry James, the Air Force's top ISR official.
In late February, President Obama told Congress that about 100 airmen deployed to southwest Niger to help provide intelligence to French forces fighting al-Qaida in Mali and other partners in the region.
The Air Force also flies ISR missions out of Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti and from civilian airports in Seychelles and Ethiopia.
France continues to fight Islamic insurgents in Mali while al-Qaida makes inroads in Libya and elsewhere in Africa.


Step 1. I started by planning my shapes on a piece of scrap paper (you can download them here). Remember that rectangles and triangles can be rotated to create another variation. I also found it useful to create triangles to fit one edge of the squares/rectangles. This way your roof will match the base of your house.
Use your pencil and ruler to mark out squares/rectangles/triangles in various sizes on your stamp block, then use your knife to carefully cut them out. My block was thick enough that I didn't need to mount the stamp onto anything, but you can if you want to.
Step 2. Take the paper/card you want your artwork on and, using no ink to start with, lay out the first row of houses to get a feel for placement. Play around with the shapes, be creative! Once you're happy with the placement of the first line, you can start inking and printing. I'd recommend keeping a damp cloth next to you to clean off each stamp between printings. Also – be very careful when handling the inked stamps! I ruined my first artwork attempt by dropping an inked stamp onto my page by accident. Such a bummer!
Step 3. Continue laying out and stamping your little houses until you're happy with it. Don't forget the details like doors and windows!
First of all, your xacto knife looks badass. Secondly, this is a very adorable DIY with a very cute outcome! Great post!
i love this. and would totally buy a copy of that finished print.
Wow- this is beautiful. I have some stamp blocks in my office- can't wait to try it.
This DIY is super cute ! I'd like to prepare a birthday card for my father, it will help, thanks !
Yep it's a winner, your colour choice is perfect. Don't you just love it when the simple things work?!
Aw, thanks you guys! :) I'm so glad you like it.
Kismitoffeebar – I've bought them from both the Plaza Singapura Daiso, and the one at Vivo (which is where I got this lot). Normally near the pens and erasers.
This is amazing, I love the colours you have used. it would make a great house warming gift for someone.
I absolutely adore this! I'm putting together a picture wall myself, and creating something like this would make it so much more personal and cute. Such a lovely project.
Wow! What a beautiful picture this! I'm shocked it's stamps!! Very cute!
I LOVE this, adorable! Would love to have you join my international crafty linky party, craft schooling Sunday! Always on the lookout for quality crafters like you, and if you take a look you'll see that I feature lots of projects from the previous week, so it's a great opportunity to get some publicity. all the best!
So sweet! I love it. You have great eye for putting colour together.
Oh I love projects like this… clean and simple. You did such a lovely job and your photos are great. Thanks for the inspiration!
Using cut-up kitchen sponges or other inexpensive materials this will be a wonderful activity for students to try this fall! Will develop spatial relations skills, scissor accuracy, sequencing…Thx!
oh this is just perfection! I am such a fan of quick and simple DIYs with maximum impact! Loving the scando vibe too.
I just LOVE the artworks you've created with stamps! Can you please tell me the colours you used for the triangle pattern, and also the dimensions of the triangle you used?

What explicit images are doing to young relationships
Why sex educators need to start thinking about what kids see online, and how they can reverse the effects.
By Flannery Dean Updated September 5, 2013
(Photo by Masterfile)
There have been a number of news reports of late to suggest that teenagers and even children are becoming increasingly more sex-savvy — or rather, porn savvy. For that troubling cultural development, we can thank the Internet and the proliferation of adult content.
As the first generation to experience such easy access to graphic sexual images the jury is still largely out on how that early exposure affects development.
There are indicators that the impact is largely negative — surprise, surprise. One recent poll commissioned by the Daily Telegraph in the U.K. suggests that nearly one third of young people believe that pornography accurately depicts what constitutes a working relationship between the sexes.
Oh, dear.
To understand the gravity of that finding consider the plot of any porn film and then try and apply it to your real-life relationship. Can you join me in a collective yuck?
For girls and young women this may be even more damaging, as they look to female porn stars as role models of female behaviour. Boys and young men aren't exactly being served well either as they absorb the idea that women are just sexual agents and objects.
Even more worrying to many is the fact that children and young adults may be under the impression that sex is the only aspect of a relationship. There are no jaunts to Pottery Barn in a porn film or dealings with the in-laws, no date-nights or long conversations about the future, hopes and dreams to offset all the forced, robotic oohs and ahhs.
To combat that one-dimensional view of sex and relationships, the Daily Telegraph has launched a campaign for more comprehensive sex education for kids and teens. That means introducing ideas about what constitutes a good and healthy relationship and frankly discussing unhealthy images and expectations in the classroom.
To contextualize sexual behaviour with an eye toward emotional health and to talk to kids and teens frankly about how they ought to behave toward one another and the kind of treatment they should demand from their peers — compassionate, loving, respectful — sounds not only like a good idea, but one that's a long time coming. Might be nice for adults to get the CliffsNotes on that lesson too.

Marek Sivák of "Foster the City" wrote that we were the only ones who could start the Pilsen Public Pool project with him… We have experience with the project of Public Benches, we understand the importance of communal politics in the process and we have the mobile caravan where we can sleep. We arrive in Pilsen upon his invitation and spend two weeks renovating the desolate 1930´s swimming pool, receiving help from a group of volunteers from around the world as well as several locals. Those passing by pause for an ice-cold beer served by Vaclav on the riverbank. We drink it too; eat vegan delicacies for lunch and sausages for dinner. Step by step, the beauties of the old public pool are revealed underneath a rich vegetation coat. Locals and those who remember by-gone times begin to mingle with one another and the whole place slowly comes to life. Whoever comes does not feel like leaving. Neither do we. We work on a pier to provide a port for small boats and an easy access to the river. This would be the place to perform theater plays and concerts too. We are introducing two big bench swings to the riverbank and the children love it. Together we manufacture small tables, chairs, benches and folding beds…The nearby garage is turned into a bar, café and a facility base. We build everything by ourselves and sleep in the middle of the construction site in our caravan. Due to the fact that we never leave the site, we slowly become co-organizers of cultural events around here. It has remained a vivid place until today, hosting one event after another. It is a marvelous spot which grows in popularity and has become an inseparable part of Pilsen´s alternative scene.
14 days, 10 workcampers from 9 countries, 8 custom tables, 33 chairs, 14 easy chairs, 7 benches, 2 big swings, 7832 screws, mine 1 boat, 2 paddles, 403 transfered persons, 14 dogs, 19 bicycles, 10 prams, 3 scooters, 2 babyscooters, 196 322 kJ, 23 eaten sausages, average temperature 22,63 ˚C, everything under guidance of 1 Kate and 1 Adam and in 9 months +1 Milada. It was a great summer, it was community, it is sustainable and we delegated well. And come visit us at Plovarna, it is worth it!
as well as a number of Czech musicians have performed on a stage, which can be transformed into a dance floor. It had its moments of glory during the summer swing party. It is the amphibious pier, however, that takes pride in having the most diverse story. It has served both on land and water – as a concert and theater stage, as well as a boat rental. During hot summer days, it hosted beautiful ladies and handsome men for a suntan, warm starry nights offered haven for friendly and romantic meetings. February saw sessions of cold water swimming and hardening. It has proven to work as a nursery too. To add the icing on the cake, the public pool was decorated by a cable car which connects both banks of the river Radbuza. Quite a few visitors, children or grownups, have shivered with insecurity when throwing themselves above the water, finding reassurance in nothing but their own strength. The public pool would not have become what it is today without the contribution of a number of individuals and organizations – ranging from the authors of the idea of revitalization, the Majak Plzen society (Pilsen Lighthouse), to Pestujprostor(Cultivate your space) which is in charge of the construction works, to local volunteers and Prague´s architecture students. Neither would we have organized community dinners and released canoes into the river stream without the friendly help of the neighboring Center for drug prevention and treatment. It was MAK!, though, that provided ideas for the unique atmosphere and style of this quaint site. We know that MAK!, too, experienced some unforgettable moments here. Where else could have Katka with Adam (and Ludvík) been able to camp right at the construction site, have everyday barbecues and go for midnight swims in the river? What other time did they get the opportunity to teach volunteers from abroad how to work with a hammer or a saw and be woken up by the subtle sound of patient knocking on their door? The memories from the Pool have been carved into the story of their family life once and for all when they baptized their newborn daughter Milada-Radbuza here.

Speech By Mrs Lim Hwee Hua,Minister Of State For Finance And Transport, At Landesbank Baden Wuerttemberg Evening Reception, 17 September 2006, 8.00 pm At German Centre
Chairman of Landesbank Baden Wuerttemberg, Dr Jaschinski,
Your Excellencies,
Distinguished guests,
1. Thank you for inviting me to this special reception. On behalf of Singapore, let me specially welcome those of you who have flown in to attend the 2006 IMF/World Bank Annual Meetings, and wish you a fruitful stay.
2. The Landesbank Baden Wuerttemberg holds a significant position as a German bank in the Singapore financial community. It is a key banking service provider for German companies venturing into Singapore and Asia. It is also the main financier for the German Centre of Industry and Trade in Singapore (GCIT). The German Centre in Singapore - established in 1995 - was, in fact, the pioneer of other similar German incubation centres around the world that LBBW has helped to set up.
3. I congratulate the LBBW, as it celebrates the 10th anniversary of its regional office here in Singapore. Over the past decade, it has been supporting German SMEs to do business within Asia, especially in Singapore. The branch has also been very active in financing Asian projects and Asian Corporates and is a prime name for Asian Central Banks as a reliable partner.
4. In many ways, the LBBW has also helped to promote overall bilateral ties and economic links between Germany and Singapore, by diversifying its operations to invest in the incubation centre here.
5. Germany is a key partner to Singapore. Among European countries, it is Singapore's largest trading partner and our second largest tourism market. To date, 1,070 German companies have established a presence in Singapore, in key industries such as banking, electronics and precision engineering, chemicals, transport and logistics, info-communications, and media. There are over 4,000 German expatriates in Singapore. Our Prime Minister visited Germany in November last year, we were happy to welcome the German Economics Minister Michael Glos to Singapore for the German-Singapore Expo in March 2006. I am confident that both LBBW and the German Centre will continue to successfully promote and facilitate this expansion of German presence and investment; both within Singapore, and beyond.
6. Southeast Asia, in particular, is a region ripe with opportunities. The 10 ASEAN countries, for example, have a combined volume of external trade totaling more than US$1 trillion, and a combined market of over 560 million people. This gives us the potential to be a third major growth center in Asia, after China and India. More importantly, the growing economic integration within ASEAN will enable us to both complement and ride on the spectacular growth of the two Asian giants.
7. Connected to Southeast Asia, China and India, Singapore provides global investors a gateway to the opportunities in Asia. We welcome foreign investors and businesses to come here, and to take advantage of the regional opportunities. We have strived to provide top standards of efficiency, transparency and security to facilitate the transition of foreign companies. But very often, it is institutions with a commitment to support their nationals abroad, which can make the difference. LBBW, and the work they have done through the German Centre, is a shining example of such commitment.
8. This evening's reception commemorates a decade of fruitful partnership between LBBW, its clients and Singapore. I wish LBBW every success, going forward. Thank you, and have a pleasant evening.

George Trendle
Show Count: 5
Series Count: 1
Role: Old Time Radio Star
Born: July 4, 1884, Norwalk, Ohio, United States
Died: May 10, 1972 , Grosse Pointe, Michigan, United States
George Washington Trendle (July 4, 1884 – May 10, 1972) was a Detroit lawyer and businessman, best known as the producer of the Lone Ranger radio and television programs along with The Green Hornet. He is entombed in Detroit's Woodlawn Cemetery.
During the 1920s, George W. Trendle was a Detroit, Michigan lawyer who had established a reputation as a tough negotiator, specializing in movie contracts and leases.
Trendle became involved in the Detroit area entertainment business in 1928, when local motion picture theater owner John H. Kunsky offered Trendle 25 per cent ownership in exchange for his services.
Kunsky had been an early investor in Nickelodeons beginning in 1905. In 1911, he built the first movie theater in Detroit. It was the second movie theater in the nation. By 1928, he owned twenty movie theaters, including four of the largest first-run theaters in Detroit.
Kunsky was being driven out of the theater business, when Adolph Zukor acquired the Detroit area film exchange known as the Cooperative Booking Office and began pressuring local theater owners to sell out to Paramount. Trendle negotiated to sell Kunsky's theatres for six million dollars. Zukor transferred the theaters to a Paramount subsidiary namedUnited Detroit Theatres. In 1948, Paramount's monopoly became the focus of an antitrust suit initiated by the Society of Independent Motion Picture Producers (SIMPP).
As part of the deal, Trendle and Kunsky were required never to reenter the movie business in Detroit.
However, Zukor apparently recognized Trendle's talents and hired him to manage the Paramount theaters in Detroit. Trendle is credited as "having built" the historic Alger Theater which opened August 22, 1935 on Detroit's east side. Trendle was fired from the United Detroit Theatres for "negligence" in 1937.
Radio and television stations
Trendle and Kunsky formed the Kunsky-Trendle Broadcasting Company in 1929, after purchasing Detroit radio station WGHP. The radio station's call letters were changed toWXYZ.
Trendle was the President and Kunsky was the Vice President of the company. Trendle was active as the station manager. Kunsky is rarely mentioned, except as co-owner.
WXYZ was initially affiliated with the Columbia Broadcasting System but became an independent station within a year. Trendle's partner Kunsky legally changed his name to King in 1936 and the 'Kunsky-Trendle Broadcasting Company' became the 'King-Trendle Broadcasting Company'. WXYZ improved its technical facilities through the 1930s, expanding its studios, raising its daytime power from 1,000 to 5,000 watts in the late 1930s, and increasing nighttime power to 5,000 watts in time for its mandated 1941 move from 1240 to 1270 kHz under the North American Radio Broadcasting Agreement.
In 1931, Kunsky-Trendle acquired WASH and WOOD in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The two stations merged facilities, including studios and transmitters but retained both station licenses. WASH was on the air from 8am to Noon, and WOOD from Noon to Midnight. WOOD-WASH became an NBC Red affiliate in 1935. King and Trendle decided to drop the WASH license in 1942, keeping the WOOD identification.
In 1946, the newly formed American Broadcasting Company purchased the King-Trendle Broadcasting Company and its radio stations for $ 3.65 million dollars. This sale was for the broadcast facilities (including WOOD, WXYZ and the Michigan Regional Network), and a construction permit for what would later become WXYZ-TV (channel 7), but did not include ownership of Trendle's radio programs. The FCC approved ABC's purchase on July 18, 1946. In 1952, Paramount Theaters (owners of Kunsky and Trendle's former chain of Detroit area theaters) acquired ABC, including WXYZ.
Trendle entered into a new partnership with long term business associates H. Allen Campbell and Raymond Meurer. The Trendle-Campbell Broadcasting Company was formed in 1946 and started radio station WTCB in Flint, Michigan. The new radio station went on the air April 26, 1946 with a four tower 1000 watt broadcast array. The call letters were later changed to WTAC. In 1953, they added UHF television station WTAC-TV affiliated with ABCTV and DuMont. The TV station went out of business less than a year later because too few TVs at the time were equipped to receive UHF channels. The radio station has changed owners several times and its call sign was changed to WSNL in 1997. The station is currently owned by The Christian Broadcasting System. Three of the four towers were demolished in 2003 to make room for redevelopment of the site. The fourth tower was removed in 2004 after new transmitting facilities were completed in Gaines Township southwest of Flint.
Another Trendle-Campbell radio station (WPON) went on the air in December 1954. The station was located in Pontiac, Michigan with studios in the Waldron Hotel in downtown Pontiac. Trendle and Campbell were reportedly still in charge of station operations in the late 1960s. In 1987, WPON's transmitter was moved from Pontiac to Walled Lake. The station is currently owned by Southfield-based Birach Broadcasting and has a talk and oldies format.
Penny pinching
The Kunsky-Trendle business venture began at the start of the Great Depression and Trendle took many cost-cutting moves that earned him a reputation as a penny-pincher.
According to Dick Osgood, in his book Wyxie Wonderland: An Unauthorized 50-Year Diary of WXYZ Detroit, he was assisted in this by H. Allen Campbell.
Campbell was an advertising salesman for the Hearst organization, whom Trendle hired to find sponsors for his radio programs. Campbell is credited with signing Silvercup Bread as the first sponsor for the Lone Ranger series. This was a big account and helped to bring the show to nationwide syndication. Apparently, Campbell's contributions to the business were significant. He continued working for Trendle for the next twenty years, and eventually became one of Trendle's business partners.
Campbell reportedly kept a set of books to show employees that the company was losing money and could not afford to pay higher salaries.
Trendle and Campbell often responded to employee requests for salary increases by downplaying their value to the company and threatening to fire them. This threat was particularly effective during the Depression.
Trendle specified the music on WXYZ shows should be non-copyrighted classical so the music was royalty-free. This is the reason that the William Tell Overture was adopted as the Lone Ranger theme and The Flight of the Bumble Bee became the theme for the Green Hornet show.
In June 1932, Trendle decided to drop the network affiliation to operate WXYZ as an independent station. His station would produce its own radio drama series and broadcast locally produced music programs, rather than pay for syndicated programs. Jim Jewell was hired as the station's dramatic director and supplied the actors from his own repertory company, the "Jewell Players". Free-lance radio writer Fran Striker was hired to write many of these programs. The earliest dramatic radio series included Thrills of the Secret Service, Dr. Fang, and Warner Lester, Manhunter. Striker wrote many of the scripts and eventually became head of WXYZ's script department.
Late in 1932, Trendle began discussing ideas to create a new radio series with a cowboy as the hero. He wanted a mysterious hero who would have the same type of appeal asZorro or Robin Hood. The target audience included children, so Trendle insisted on a wholesome hero with high moral standards. Violence and romance were to be minimized. Trendle worked out the basic concept of a masked vigilante - a lone Texas ranger with a big white horse in staff meetings with Jim Jewell and studio manager Harold True. Then it was turned over to Fran Striker to flesh out the details and provide the scripts. His contributions included silver bullets and an Indian companion. The result was The Lone Ranger, which began broadcasting January 30, 1933 on WXYZ and the seven other stations of the Michigan Regional Network.
The Lone Ranger was an almost immediate hit. In May, a free popgun was offered to the first 300 listeners to send a written request and the station received nearly 25,000 replies. In July, the Lone Ranger made a public appearance at a park and a crowd estimated at 70,000 gathered.
Trendle recognized the value of the Lone Ranger and forced Striker and Jewell to sign over all rights. Along with the legal rights, Trendle claimed credit as the 'creator' of the Lone Ranger. Trendle and his partners kept most of the profits from radio syndication, movie rights and merchandising, while Striker and Jewell were given little more than their salaries.
By the beginning of 1934, the show was syndicated to WGN, Chicago and WOR, Newark. Other stations soon followed. The live broadcasts were transmitted over telephone lines to the other stations. When the Mutual Broadcasting System was created in 1934, WXYZ became a charter member and the Lone Ranger program was featured on the Mutual Network. Although WXYZ dropped out to join NBC Blue about a year later, contractual obligations kept The Lone Ranger on Mutual until 1942. It then switched to the NBC Blue Network, which became ABC in 1943. The popularity of the series rapidly grew and it was eventually heard on 249 radio stations nationwide.
In order to service a nationwide audience, the live broadcast was performed three times, once for each time zone. Beginning in February, 1938, the third performance was also recorded on a transcription disk for later broadcast on stations that did not have a live connection to the network.
In 1936, The Green Hornet was added to the roster of WXYZ programs. The Green Hornet was a modern day masked crime fighter, named Britt Reid and was descended from the Lone Ranger's nephew Dan Reid. He was assisted by his Japanese valet Kato,(changed to Filipino after Pearl harbor), who used martial arts. Fran Striker wrote most of the scripts for the series.
In 1937, Trendle licensed Republic Pictures to produce a movie version of The Lone Ranger. Trendle was not happy with changes that were made in the movie adaptations and hired attorney Raymond Meurer to oversee licensing of the franchise. However, Trendle did like the incidental music Republic used on the serial's soundtrack and acquired the right to use it on The Lone Ranger. In 1939, when The Lone Ranger moved from Mutual to NBC (Blue), new arrangements were recorded by The NBC Symphony and used for the rest of the run of the radio series and on the TV series episodes produced by Trendle's company.
In 1938, Trendle requested his writing staff to create an adventure series featuring a dog as the hero. Writer Tom Dougall created Challenge of the Yukon, a series about Sergeant Preston of the North-West Mounted Police and his sled dog Yukon King.
In 1939, Striker created Ned Jordan Secret Agent for WXYZ.
In 1949, Trendle hired former MGM film producer Jack Chertok to produce The Lone Ranger television series. Trendle was credited as executive producer.
In 1950, Trendle began producing Bob Barclay - American Agent. Bob Barclay was an undercover agent for the U.S. Government, with a cover identity as a news correspondent. Trendle received complaints from the U.S. Government because the stories sounded too much like actual cases. The American press also complained that the series was hurting the real life situation of William Oatis. Oatis was a reporter being held on espionage charges in Czechoslovakia. The series was cancelled at the end of its first season.
In July 1954, Trendle sold the rights to the Lone Ranger to the Wrather Corporation for $ 3 million. The radio series ceased at that time, but the television series continued until 1957 with Jack Wrather as the new executive producer.
From 1955 to 1958, the radio program Challenge of the Yukon was adapted for television as Sergeant Preston of the Yukon. The series was produced by Trendle-Campbell-Meurer Inc. during its first two seasons, but was sold to Jack Wrather Productions in 1957.
Challenge Of The Yukon
Show Count: 628
Broadcast History: 3 February 1938 to 28 May 1947, 12 June 1947 to 30 December 1949 and 2 January 1950 to 9 June 1955

Cast: Jay Michael, Paul Sutton, John Todd, Brace Beemer
Director: Al Hodge
Producer: Al Hodge, George Trendle
Challenge of the Yukon was a radio series that began on Detroit's station WXYZ (as had The Lone Ranger and The Green Hornet), and an example of a Northern genre story. The series was first heard on February 3, 1938. The title changed from Challenge of the Yukon to Sergeant Preston of the Yukon in November 1951, and remained under that name through the end of the series and into television.

Manage Your Pain group provides support in Dumbarton
The fastest way to die is to sit about doing nothing.
That is the assertion of a group which aims to help people suffering chronic pain across the area.
The Manage Your Pain group is enabling its members to enjoy life – by organising activities and trips all over the country.
Meetings take place every Tuesday at Dumbarton's Concord Centre, offering members support to keep on top of their various conditions.
But they also get on the road to make life even more enjoyable – having visited scenic locations like Pitlochry and St Andrews so far this summer.
Secretary Agnes Wood, of Cardross Road in Dumbarton, has been a member of the group for two spells totalling six years.
She said: "We have a couple of members who are under pension age but the rest are older.
"We enjoy going on journeys to various parts of Scotland as part of the process of offering support.
"Some people might think we're old and decrepit – but we're still in the land of the living and we enjoy making the best of the chances we have.
"It's absolutely super having such a support group around. I don't know what I would do without it.
"My husband has suffered a stroke and is in a wheelchair so he too needs support and it is great for him.
"If you are in the house by yourself you are not laughing at all. The fastest way to die is to sit about doing nothing.
"We make sure we get out and about and are enjoying the good weather so we can go on these trips."
The Manage Your Pain Group was set up around 15 years ago and is enjoying a good turnout of members at the moment.
Although there are many conditions affecting the people who attend, support is always offered with a sympathetic ear.
The group has had to start paying for its meeting facilities – but that doesn't put them off as there are many positive sides.
Agnes added: "There are about 18 to 20 members, with conditions including strokes, dementia and multiple sclerosis.
"I personally have hip problems and arthritis in my wrists and hands.
"There is also a member who cannot bend one of her legs as she has had to have a metal pole inserted.
"People also come along suffering from mental pain – but everyone has difficulties and we are all able to support each other.
"Most of our members live in Dumbarton but we welcome people from all over the area.
"Getting to and from meetings is not a problem as some of us use the West Dunbartonshire Council bus, which enables people with wheelchairs and walking frames to gain easy access.
"We used to get hire of the Concord Centre for no charge but now that it is run by the leisure trust we have to pay a small price.
"And we have received grants and funding so it is not difficult for members.
"Proceeds also go towards buying Christmas presents and staging celebrations so it is worth it."
Meetings take place every Tuesday at the Concord Centre from 11.30am to 1.30pm. Entry costs £2 and all people experiencing chronic pain are welcome.
PrisonsNotorious cat killer dies in jail after murdering at least nine petsSteve Bouquet was sentenced to jail after murdering nine cats and injuring seven more.


About a year ago I considered getting back into making a new Chico Bandito episode. What resulted was this short, an unofficial fifth episode that I decided not to share.
The only reason this episode is technically unofficial is because there is a conclusion in the works to give this on-again-off-again series the proper closing I feel it deserves - a real escape story, not just a stepping stone. This 'lost' episode saw Chico make it outside in a garbage bag as part of his original scheme, only to discover that things were more bizarre than before.
I felt that the series needed to take a greater departure if I was actually going to make it last - as it turned out, I tired of the project to try new things anyway. Chico was becoming more of a chore and losing novelty after the first 4 shorts. Without much to go on, I didn't want to force myself to make the series more than it needed to be.
I decided it was worth sharing this episode still because it was complete and even just as a test, there are elements that I like in my editing here. Had the series continued with Chico outside, you can imagine that things would've become far more comic, playful, and I suppose 'trippy'.
Like I said, there are loose plans for a conclusion to give the series (episodes 1-4) the proper ending and send-off. I think not having the project as a complete unit has held me back from really doing anything else with these, and coming back to the project after a long break may actually make the Chico Bandito conclusion a far more significant undertaking.
Keep an eye-out for the final chapter and complete post sometime this year. In the meantime check out the lost episode below and revisit the old Chico Bandito episodes by scrolling the original posts here.


The Traditional Bush Vine style of Sauvignon Blanc focuses on the greener spectrum of varietal character. The bunches hang in the shade and harvesting occurs early to ensure a refreshing style, displaying green pepper and fig with some smokiness. It is intensely flavoured with good structure and it has the ability to keep. With age it develops asparagus like aromas and on the palate it softens.
At Villiera we have an old, single bush vine vineyard with the weather station clone of Sauvignon Blanc. It has the ability to produce a unique, intense style that we felt was worthy of its own platform. The bush vine system is a traditional training method especially suited to unirrigated vineyards. The limited yield ensures early ripening.
The grapes are handpicked and sorted. Picking occurs in the morning to take advantage of cooler conditions and the fruit is protected from oxidation. Picking from bush vines requires a back breaking effort but it is worth it.
On arrival at the cellar the grapes are lightly crushed and destalked before being pumped to our pneumatic tank presses where 8 hours of skin contact is allowed for maximum extraction of varietal character. Gentle pressing and fraction separation are utilized to limit phenolic content. After a 48 hour settling the fresh juice is racked into cold fermentation with a neutral yeast. Lees contact is limited and bottling occurs early to capture the freshness of the grape.


Helicopter time-domain electromagnetic (HTEM) surveys often suffer from significant inaccuracies in the early-time or near-surface data - a problem that can lead to errors in the inverse model or limited near-surface resolution in the event that early time gates are removed. We present an example illustrating the use of seismic data to constrain the model recovered from an HTEM survey over the Spiritwood buried valley aquifer in Manitoba, Canada. The incorporation of seismic reflection surfaces results in improved near-surface resistivity in addition to a more continuous bedrock interface with a sharper contact. The seismic constraints reduce uncertainty in the resistivity values of the overlying layers, although no a priori information is added directly to those layers. Subsequently, we use electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and borehole data to verify the constrained HTEM models. Treating the ERT and borehole logs as reference information, we perform an iterative time-shift calibration of the HTEM soundings to achieve regional-scale consistency between the recovered HTEM models and the reference information. Given the relatively small time-shifts employed, this calibration procedure most significantly affects the early-time data and brings the first useable time gate to a time earlier than the nominal first gate after ramp off. Although time shifts are small, changes in the model are observed from the near-surface to depths of 100 m. Calibration is combined with seismic constraints to achieve a model with the greatest level of consistency between data sets and, thus, the greatest degree of confidence. For the Spiritwood buried valley, calibrated and constrained models reveal more structure in the valley-fill sediments and increased continuity of the bedrock contact.
Airborne geophysical data can be used for efficient regional aquifer mapping. However, models resulting from geophysical data can suffer from limited resolution and unknown degrees of uncertainty - problems that can lead inconsistencies with other data sets and difficulty in building unique hydrogeological models. We use a helicopter time-domain electromagnetic survey over the Spiritwood valley aquifer in Manitoba, Canada to demonstrate a methodology for incorporating multiple geophysical and borehole data types into a single analysis procedure. The result is a model that is consistent with multiple datasets and that has a much higher level of confidence.

Contact Cyberpunk Albatrosses Secret Explosion Analysis

Imaging infrared on the surface is not very difficult; you can install the most beautiful sensors anywhere. Not so in the Southern Hemisphere: Feelings can be placed on small, lonely islands, so the coverage is more difficult.
And, den Ouden notes, outside the ocean "huge waves" create unnecessary noise. Some of these irritating infrasound occurs when the tides travel over the ocean. den Ouden states: "The sea begins to recede. The sea acts as a great language, striking a chord in the air that flows over and over the water, heading inland, like invisible waves. Some oceanic infrasounds are harmless but extremely effective: ocean motion causes atmospheric disturbances that emanate directly from the sky. But the waves have proved to be extremely difficult to detect in the long run.
These infrasound waves, technically known as microbaroms, are called "the voice of the sea. " Many researchers want to destroy it. "We are trying to eliminate the microbarom mark, because we are happy with the explosion," Iezzi said.
Ideally, oceanic infrared detectors not only fill a void, but also record microbaroms so that, with the help of filters, they can be removed. But where can you put these lights? Boats would not work. "Their problem is that they always go up and down," says Lamb — and that can interfere with the song. Balloons have long been used for land-based infrared scanning, but their navigation techniques may be unpredictable. (However, they can be useful for recording lightning, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. on Venus, because the surface of the Earth's ugly twins is so hot that any surface of the earth melts quickly. Or, at least, very hot.)
The open sea is "the most difficult place to record," says Bowman, "so difficult, in fact, that if you had asked me before looking at the paper, I would have said it was impossible."
As it happens, Samantha Patrick, a specialist in marine biology at the University of Liverpool, was intrigued by the concept of an underwater bird. After a discussion with den Ouden and his closest associates on meteorology and astronomy, he came up with another idea: Why not incorporate microbarom sensations into birds? Not any birds: wandering albatrosses. Their wings, which may reach 30 feet[11 m]high, are the tallest of all human beings. This allows them to spend more time floating on open air surface water, which saves energy when they go out looking for food. Not only do they fly in many distant waters, but they also do not detect in water, so any sensors connected to them will not get too wet.
In short, the researchers developed tiny infrasound sensors and put them in pockets – packets less heavier than remote TVs. While it may be fun to see in your mind's eye the bags as a student carries a backpack, that would be unreasonable. Instead, the bags were simply fastened to the back of avian assistants with an adhesive tape.
Last year, the group traveled to the Crozet Islands, a small area in the French Antarctic where migratory albatrosses live. But, pray let me tell you, how do you get an albatross to join? By a a very special hug, obviously — which prevents punctures and punctures that can be harmful. Patrick, who assisted the team in the study, stated: "They do not have wild animals — and they do not have any wildlife. "So you just get there, and then I put your hand on his bill, and then you have to hug him, because he 's so big.

Terror Tuesday: Comic Con's Horror Highlights
Brian runs down some of the better horror events at this year's Comic Con, including the premiere of footage from KNIGHTS OF BADASSDOM!
By Brian Collins Jul. 19, 2011
Thus, here's my top horror based pick for each day of the con (and in most cases, where I'll most likely be if you want to say hi!), plus a couple other cool things that a horror nut might be interested in checking out.
AICN Comics: Horror On The Paneled Page (Room 24ABC)
It's kind of a bummer that Walking Dead was around for like 75 issues before the TV show hit and THEN all of a sudden a bunch of folks caught on ("Oh, it's a comic?"). With the big companies rebooting and resetting their superhero titles seemingly every other year now, horror comics are a terrific option for fans of the medium, as never deal with nonsense like crossovers, or create alternate universes to explain plot holes. So check out this panel, featuring Steve Niles (Cal McDonald), Tim Seeley (Hack/Slash), Brea and Zane Grant (We Will Bury You), Terrance Zdunich (The Molting) and many more as they discuss their ongoing/limited horror series.
At The Drive-In (Hall H)
When I saw that Tucker And Dale Vs. Evil would be hitting Hall H, I thought it was some sort of typo. But with a lot of the studios diminishing their presence this year, smaller properties like this get a chance to win over a lot more fans than they would in one of the smaller rooms upstairs. And if there's anything that deserves the love, it's Tucker and Dale, a hilarious horror comedy that I got a chance to see last year at Screamfest (it's been on the festival circuit for a while, winning tons of awards, but it's just now finally found a home at Magnet). Not since Scream has a horror film so wonderfully deconstructed a horror sub-genre (in this case, the "rednecks terrorize some teens in the woods" type flick), and Alan Tudyk and Tyler Labine make for the best horror duo since Ed and Shaun.
Knights of Badassdom (Hall H)
Community fans should follow Danny "Abed" Pudi en masse from that panel (Indigo Ballroom) over to Hall H, where he joins his Badass co-stars (Summer Glau, Ryan Kwanten, Steve Zahn, and the immortal Peter Dinklage!) and director Joe Lynch as they screen the first-ever footage/trailer for this awesome sounding horror comedy. The plot concerns a group of LARP-ers who accidentally conjure a real demon in the middle of their weekly "battle", and thus are forced to fight for real (albeit still with plastic swords). But this is no family friendly comedy; Lynch has revealed that 450 gallons of fake blood were used in the (R-rated) film, and DP Sam McCurdy (The Descent, Centurion) has given the film a real adventure look. And how can you not love it based on the title alone?
Note – fans of Lynch should also check out the sneak preview of Chillerama at the Gaslamp 15 Cinema on Friday night, as he joins Adam Green, Adam Rifkin, and Tim Sullivan for a comedic horror anthology that salutes the golden age of drive-in movie theaters. Unfortunately (and somewhat confusingly), it will be at the same time as the Drive-In panel on Friday, so you'll have to make a Sophie's Choice. However (full disclosure time), Badass Digest fans will have an easier choice to make – yours truly is one of the zombies seen rampaging around the drive-in during Lynch's segment of the film! Come on down and give a loud BOO-URNS! when you see me! Info on how to win tickets is HERE – space is limited!
Supernatural (Hall H)
Sunday's kind of a wash for horror properties, with mostly just a bunch of zombie/vampire nonsense – the last thing that needs any more exposure, if you ask me. So if you STILL haven't given this show a chance, maybe (if you can get a seat) wander over to Hall H and see what the fuss is as Supernatural enters its SEVENTH season! Not too many shows can say they've had more seasons than millions of viewers, so they must be doing something right to keep coming back, right? I think it's the best genre TV show in ages (including the good but madly uneven Walking Dead), and with both Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles on stage, you're bound to laugh and/or swoon a lot. They will not only be showing off some of the bonus features from the Season 6 DVD (in stores this September) but also footage from the Anime version (!) that will be hitting stores a few days later. Wouldn't be shocked if they had a few copies to give away to audience members….
Another thing to check out if you're on the main show floor is the new volume of "Darkchylde" from creator Randy Queen, which features an intro by John Carpenter. Queen and producer Sandy King will also have 100 teaser posters for the planned Darkchylde film, which Carpenter plans to direct (the posters will be pre-signed by Carpenter and signed live by King and Queen) – it all goes down Saturday, 5:30-6:30, at the Image booth. Carpenter/King fans should also stop by the Graphicly booth for promo items for the team's upcoming "Asylum" comic, which features illustrations by Jason Craig ("Freddy vs Jason vs Ash"), who will be on hand on Saturday and Sunday.
Also, in a truly unique move, FOX has allowed Joe King and the creators of the Locke & Key pilot (which was not picked up to series) to screen the entire thing, not once but TWICE on Friday (Room 8 at 10:30 in the morning, followed by a panel; Room 6DE at 9:15 at night). I am hoping I can find time to check it out, as I am a big fan of the comic series (just picked up the trade of Volume 3!) and was disappointed to see that it wasn't going forward. With Walking Dead making such a big splash, I figured comic based horror TV shows would be a no-brainer, but… well, you can make your own FOX joke there.
And again, if you see me (or any of the BAD folk) there – say hi! In fact, I will have a crappy horror movie DVD to give to the first BAD reader who comes up to me and says "Spider Sandwich"!

Brian, aka BC, has been watching horror movies since the age of 6, and twenty years later decided to put it to good use, both as a writer for Bloody-Disgusting as well as launching his own site, Horror Movie A Day, which Roger Ebert once read and misunderstood the points that were being made.

Zero 7 ist der Bandname des britischen Ambient-Duos Henry Binns und Sam Hardaker. Berühmt wurde das Duo anfangs durch Remixe bekannter Bands wie beispielsweise Radiohead. Ihr Debütalbum Simple Things verkaufte sich 2001 weltweit über eine Million Mal und bescherte ihnen Vergleiche mit der französischen Band Air. Das Magazin Muzik zeichnete Zero 7 anschließend als Best Newcomer aus.

Zero 7 arbeitete mit vielen bekannten Künstlern zusammen, wie zum Beispiel Mozez, Tina Dico oder Sophie Barker, auf dem 2006 erschienenen Album The Garden mit Sia Furler und José González sowie auf Yeah Ghost mit Eska Mtungwazi. The Garden wurde für einen Grammy in der Kategorie Best Electronic/Dance Album, neben Größen wie Madonna und den Pet Shop Boys, nominiert.

Mehrere ihrer Songs kommen in Soundtracks von Filmen und Fernsehserien vor: Give it away in CSI: Den Tätern auf der Spur, Distractions in Six Feet Under – Gestorben wird immer, In the Waiting Line in Garden State, Dr. House und Sex and the City sowie Destiny in Blue Crush, Liebe auf Umwegen und Roswell. Dieser Song wurde auch im Internetauftritt von Lacoste verwendet.

BEIJING — Growing Chinese anger at South Korea over a U.S. anti-missile defense system bodes ill for everything from pop star appearances to United Nations action against North Korea's nuclear and missile threats.
South Korea's mighty entertainment sector has been on edge since Beijing criticized Seoul's decision last month to proceed with the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, or THAAD, system, with reports of event cancellations and possible bans on South Korean TV series, amid scattered calls for a total boycott of imports from the South.
In the latest cancellation, Youku, China's biggest streaming site, deep-sixed a meet-and-greet for fans with South Korean stars Kim Woo-Bin and Bae Suzy to promote the hugely popular TV drama "Uncontrollably Fond." A company statement gave the reason simply as "forces beyond our control."
A chill has already descended over the political relationship, with Chinese state media employing their trademark searing rhetoric in daily screeds against South Korea and the U.S. over the THAAD plans.
State outlets have even hinted that Beijing will stop future cooperation with the U.S. against North Korea at the United Nations Security Council. THAAD "has declared the death of that short-lived United Front," the China Daily said in a recent editorial. The Foreign Ministry did not respond directly to a faxed question about future U.N. sanctions cooperation, but said the Security Council's resolutions on North Korean missile tests contained "clear rules."
South Korean media, citing diplomatic sources, have reported that China may have already blocked the Security Council from issuing a statement denouncing the North's recent missile launches.
On Sunday, Kim Sung-woo, spokesman for South Korean President Park Geun-hye, urged China to take issue with North Korea's nuclear and missile threats instead of criticizing THAAD, calling the Chinese media's criticism "unreasonable."
The U.S., which has 28,500 troops in South Korea, says THAAD is a defensive system focused only on destroying any North Korean missiles targeting the South.
The rapid deterioration of relations is even more stunning given how cozy they were barely a year ago, when Park paid her Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping an enormous compliment by attending a September military parade in Beijing, the only head of state from a U.S. ally to do so. That underscored a long-term effort by South Korea to walk a fine line of seeking both deeper trade and cultural ties with Beijing and a strengthened alliance with the U.S.
According to the state-owned Korea Creative Content Agency, China including Hong Kong was the second-biggest importer of South Korean books, comics, music, video games, movies, animation and other content, accounting for 24 percent of those types of exports at $189.9 million in 2014, the last year for which figures were available. North America was the biggest market, absorbing 29 percent of South Korea's cultural exports that year.
While that's a fraction of South Korea's total exports to China, which totaled $145.3 billion in 2014, with South Korea enjoying a hefty surplus, the entertainment sector can have a heavy knock-on impact on the popularity of other South Korean goods, especially cosmetics, fashion, food, consumer electronics, smartphones and cars, as well as tourism.
"We live in an era when one drama can stimulate many industries and K-Pop could be an important trigger of our products," Park said in April as the South Korean blockbuster TV series "Descendants of the Sun" was enjoying huge popularity in China.
Chinese consumer boycotts can be both spontaneous and directed from the top, with the government setting the tone and passing on suggestions or orders, usually verbally so as not to be traced. An editorial in the nationalistic tabloid Global Times, published by the Communist Party's flagship People's Daily, suggested both factors were in play.
The impact on cultural exports will only worsen if South Korea moves ahead with THAAD, the newspaper said. "By then, there will be no need for any official order, as TV stations broadcasting South Korean dramas will be resisted by Chinese netizens."
Beijing's approach could backfire if it ends up driving South Korean into a stronger alliance with the U.S. and China's old nemesis Japan, but it is a risk China seems willing to take.
"Ultimately, South Korea will face China's military counter-measures, since the Chinese military will definitely not let the situation develop without exerting control," said the Liaoning Academy's Lu.
Lee reported from Seoul, South Korea.


The course is designed for participants with a wide range of backgrounds and occupations, and with hostile environment experience ranging from none to significant. Participants will be trained to recognize and mitigate potential threats and respond appropriately to various safety and security incidents. During the HEAT course you will learn techniques on how to "take control of chaos" through classroom sessions and practical exercises. The training courses are based on our experiences and knowledge of managing an international humanitarian organization with over 4500 employees working in 35 countries around the world.
Pre-screening of training needs, close mentoring and follow-up with every participant ensures that he/she is able to understand and react appropriately to risks and security threats.
Safety and security training of the Danish Refugee Council focus on how to stay and operate, rather than on how and when to leave. Proactive and non-aggressive measures form the basis of the Danish Refugee Council's approach to safety and security, and thus the HEAT training.
