Remembering Ed Brunet
Ed Brunet, beloved Henry J. Casey Professor of Law Emeritus at Lewis & Clark Law School, passed away October 12, 2018.
Here are stories from those who were touched by Ed in some way during his tenure at the law school. If you would like to share your story, please enter it in this form, and we'll add it to this tribute page.
"I will never miss law school, but I will ALWAYS miss Ed Brunet. He was a truly lovely person who deeply cared about his students. I had a very rough 1L, and he was my savior. I came to law school to do crim and civil rights and had little interest in business law, but Civ Pro was my favorite class because of his teaching. I also took Anti-Trust as a 3L, just so I could have him as a professor one more time. Ed supported me, encouraged me, and made me feel like I could make it through. I will never forget his kindness. I feel sorry for those who never got to have him as a professor." – Diana Wiener '04 JD '09
"Ed was such a good friend. In college we spent a lot of time together. There he introduced me to opera and other forms of classical music, something that has been a passion of mine ever since. We kept up through the years, visiting each other, playing golf, meeting each year at the law teachers hiring conference in Washington. I last saw Ed at the US Open in Tacoma in 2015. His intelligence, his sense of humor, his generosity made him special. –Vincent Blasi
"We always said civ pro was with "fast Eddie, buckle your seat belt and don't blink or you'll miss really important stuff!" At the end of class there was a collective "whew!". Everyone had a ton of respect for Ed, not to mention we all really liked him as a nice guy, approachable, available, interested in his students, etc. Great professor! What an asset he was to L&C! He will be missed by many! "– Cindy Younkin '89
"Thanks so much for this perfect way to honor and remember Prof. Brunet. I thought I'd send this little remembrance: I read the recent news that the law school will be offering an Energy, Innovation and Sustainability certificate program. Folks should know that in his early years at L&C (in the 1970s), Ed taught a course that leads on a direct path to this new certificate offering. The course was called "Regulated Industries" That was back before the deregulation of the electric utility industry, when power was provided by a monopoly entity, a "public utility". Because of the lack of competition (please do a symposium on whether there is actual competition today, but I digress), the notion then was that energy utilities were "natural monopolies", so in return for being granted monopoly status in a territory, the return on investment for that business entity would be set via regulation, by a public utility commission, acting to "protect the public interest". That regulatory construct was the law applicable to energy in the 1970s and into the 1990s. Ed exposed us to that law of the day, but also the rationale for the prevailing approach, and how and why that could shift if the industry itself evolved. That Regulated Industries course provided a solid grounding in the then-present, but also planted the seeds for contemplating where this all could head, for those of us who would usher in the new approaches and the new law governing those approaches in the 1990s to the present. We can hope the new certificate program will do what Professor Brunet did: explain what the current construct is, as well as how we got here, and how that path might suggest further evolution, which in turn will need a legal construct to keep up with the accelerating innovation underway. I'll be lifting my glass to Ed along with all of you." – Al Larsen '77
"Ed Brunet was a fine teacher and fine man. I was one of his early students. Fall of 1972, first semester, civil procedure was one of his first outings in front of the student gaggle. He had just come from a large firm in Chicago, as I recall, and he seemed as nervous as we. He launched right into Pennoyer v Neff. The concept of void ab initio stuck in my head like glue.
Ten years later I was practicing law in Sisters. Although my forte was civil litigation, Judge Edmonds asked me to defend a drug case in which the accused, having been evicted from her rented home for non-payment, left behind a huge stash of controlled substances in the kitchen cupboard – a Class A felony worth. The landlord had cruised through the home accompanied by the sheriff and armed with his FED judgment, and together they found the goods. Dead-bang winner, or so the DA thought. I reviewed the FED file and discovered that although District Judge Thalhofer had defaulted the tenant for non-appearance at trial and had found for the landlord, the tenant had never been served! Bingo!
My motion to suppress was supported by the shortest brief I ever wrote, about, oh, ten words plus the citation to Pennoyer. Thanks to what Prof Ed Brunet had taught me right from the get-go, Judge Edmonds had no trouble allowing my motion. Next case!" – Donald Owen Costello '76, Chief Judge, Coquille Indian Tribe
"When I first came to the law school in 2011, Ed generously allowed me to sit in on one of his classes … and then he called on me! It was a great treat to witness Ed teach, and I benefitted enormously from his advice in my first few years at Lewis & Clark. I also benefited from the extensive and thoughtful comments he provided on the paper that grew out of my job talk, as well as his periodic refrain thereafter of "what are you working on?" Knowing that Ed might ask that question gave me an extra incentive to have a good answer, even if I could not match the inexhaustible range of ideas he seemed to be working through at any given time. I will always be grateful to Ed for warmly welcoming me into the law school community and being such a supportive colleague, and I will miss him." - Professor Jim Oleske
"Helen and I visited Ed just a couple of days before he developed the serious infection that led to his death. When we visited him, he was in good spirits and seemed to be doing reasonably well, so we are still stunned at the sudden sad turn of events. Everyone who knew Ed remembers his energy, enthusiasm, prodigious talent as a teacher and scholar, his loyalty to the school, and his wonderful collegiality. His intellectual prowess, productivity, and acute memory were a source of amazement and inspiration, and his kind friendliness earned him widespread popularity.
Quite apart from this, Helen and I were the beneficiaries of his close friendship for 40 years. Ed was on the appointments committee that hired me, and immediately became a mentor, helping me to navigate the unfamiliar world of American legal academia, and providing unstinting encouragement, support, and wise advice. We spent many happy times together through the years, both at the school and on social occasions. Although I never shared his love of wine, we did have in common an appreciation of theater and opera (not necessarily Wagner) and enjoyed many performances together. His passing has left a big gap in our lives, both professionally and personally, and we miss him very much." - Professor Brian Blum
"Many years after I graduated, I was going through a horrible divorce and was so lost. I ran into Professor Brunet near Uptown over a Christmas holiday. It was pouring down rain and I was so sad. He saw me, remembered my name, and stood in the pouring rain and just talked to me until I smiled. Such a selfless, amazing human being. I adored him very much." - Lana Hayes '93
"… I loved my classes with Ed Brunet — never thought I would be such a fan of Antitrust!" - Ginny Ross '90, Attorney
"… I liked and respected Ed quite a lot. He was very generous of his time, and helped me begin to understand what the law is about. Thanks in large part to Ed, I became (and remain) a strong believer in the process of the law as one of its chief benefits for society.
I have long enjoyed both a good glass of wine and classical music. I will toast Ed when I am at SSO next week hearing Beethoven." - Scott M. Missall '84
"He was a great law professor and a delightful individual. I had the pleasure of seeing him again about ten years after I graduated when he made a trip to Los Angeles, and we met in a small group. He instilled in us the importance of being prepared and professional, not just the rules of civil procedure. His wit was always appreciated." - Laura Dewey '82
"I, too, will miss the celebration because I am in DC taking care of my grandchildren. When I started at Lewis & Clark in 1982, I took two classes from Ed - Civil Procedure and Administrative Law. Those were the days when he was known as Fast Eddie. I remember attending all his classes with a mixture of terror and awe - terror that I might be called on - and awe at the amount of information he imparted in a class session. When I began teaching at L&C he became a mentor who definitely helped me through my first year of teaching. I am so sorry that generations of future students will not be able to enjoy and be enriched by his classes. He was one of a kind!" - Professor Toni Berres-Paul
"Ed always had that boundless energy that earned him the "fast Eddie" sobriquet. It was infectious. He worked hard at the craft he loved. Ed was an inspiring and challenging teacher to generations of devoted students, and a dedicated scholar. He was curious and busy, but always found time to talk, for lunch, and to help with any law school project. He remembered and kept in touch with his former students like few others, because he cared so much about them. Ed enjoyed being a mentor for young graduates and new faculty members. I don't think he ever hesitated to read and comment on a colleague's draft, or turned down a request to help out. He never hesitated to tell me what he thought, even when he thought I was wrong, but he was always encouraging. He was a friend! Yes, he knew and loved wine and travel. He was also the best Northwestern College football fan I ever knew (in fact the only one–Ed would laugh at that). He would go to extreme lengths to watch their games, even tolerating the food at the various sketchy and usually temporary eateries with TV's that popped in and out of locations on Macadam, and other venues not too far from the law school, as long as they were willing to put on the Northwestern game. Ed was so important for the law school, meant so much to the lives and careers of so many people, and was a good friend. I will miss him!" - Former Dean Steve Kanter
"When I think of Ed, I think of good wine (he used to come to my husband's restaurant to drink wine/he was impressed with the wine list), writing (he often walked the Lawyering hallway after one of his classes in Wood Hall just to talk about writing or ask a Q about writing), and teaching (he had a real passion for teaching our students–I loved how excited he was about teaching and how much joy it brought him and the students loved him so)." - Professor Aliza Kaplan
"When I arrived at L&C in 1973, Ed was an experienced professor of a full year. He gave me various bits of advice, notably on the grading of exams. He advised creating a point system (in his case the points sometimes approached 500) to be used in assessing the exams. The purpose, he said, was to make it possible to explain differences in grades in an objective way. I never had the discipline to adopt his system, but thought it sage advise nonetheless. Early in my first year, Ed and June invited me and my wife to dinner at their place on Southwest Broadway. Ed gave very explicit, and Ed-like directions. "Take I-5 north, exit at [I don't recall], take a clearly illegal left had turn onto Broadway Drive, and come to our address." Ed and I co-taught a seminar on something relating to natural resources law and economics in the jury room in old Classroom 1. It was a tight space with low ceilings and room for perhaps ten students. My most vivid recollection was Ed literally leaping from his chair to the blackboard at irregular intervals during the class. Of course I also recall is powerful intellect. Ed played on the faculty basketball team in the B league until he tore up his knee on a rebound. He also bowled with his students and was awarded a truly ugly bowling shirt. As as been noted by others, Ed was the go-to wine expert on the faculty, which proved very useful when Leslie and I were hosting people at our home. But my clearest memory of Ed was during my time as dean. He was always a good source of advice, but on one occasion Ed behaved badly (in my opinion) over a personnel matter. I stomped into his office and gave him a piece of my mind, not really giving him an opportunity to respond. The next morning he appeared in my office and apologized. His willingness to do so cemented my lifelong respect for a good and talented man. I am truly sorry to miss the celebration of his life and many contributions to our law school." - Former Dean Jim Huffman
"Ed was a key figure in taking Lewis & Clark from a spectacular teaching law school to a place in which serious scholarship was also done. He had a Levenson or two, which he cherished, but he strove to add a body of writing that would make a mark nationally. Ed was a tireless cheerleader and mentor for younger members of the faculty, including me, and his take on faculty politics was always refreshing. Over the years, he and I exchanged views on all sorts of subjects, from the very public to the very private. We shared many laughs and a few knowing silences. He was like a slightly older brother, and when illness forced him to leave the law school, it was a sad day. He left a hole that can't be filled.
I will put on the Yo-Yo Ma "odds and evens" after class tomorrow night and drink a glass of fine Washington merlot in Ed's honor. Maybe a Januik. Not a California merlot – as Ed would tell you, it's overpriced and not as good." - Professor Jack Bogdanski
"Some of my fondest memories of Ed are from events, where his graciousness, joy, and sense of humor shone. Back in the day we had something called the Ringside Club, made up of faculty who donated a certain amount to the law school; we would get together and celebrate the wonderful advances LC Law was making, and Ed would give us the benefit of his vast wine wisdom. I also particularly remember an evening in a small restaurant in Washington D.C., after a long day of back-to-back faculty interviews, where Ed's bonhomie and, yes, wine wisdom, turned what could have been a gripe session into a party. Ed was a wonderful colleague, and I will continue to miss him for a long time." - Professor Susan Mandiberg
"Ed Brunet was my first year civil procedure professor in 1975. I was never an academic but he managed to make what I thought would be a very dry subject interesting, and, no doubt to our mutual surprise, he actually managed to teach me a few things. He will always be my most memorable professor, and I was saddened to learn of his passing. I remember him as not only demanding but also having a sense of humor. As I started to write this, several stories came to mind. Two stand out the most. One of them involving the movie, Wizard of Oz.
I don't remember how it came up, but for some reason Ed had made it known early in the year that he was a big fan of the Wizard of Oz. One night, the movie started to show on TV while I was at a friend's place. We figured it would be fun to try to reach Ed at home to let him know it was on. Using the technology of the time, we called Directory Assistance, got his home number, and managed to reach him. His immediate reaction was to thank us and to excitedly ask how far along the movie was. He was pleased to hear he had not missed much, and rushed off to watch it.
The other story involves Ed conspiring with my father. In addition to being anything but a star student, I also struggled with getting to early morning classes on time. Ed's former students from that era will recall that he had little patience with people being unprepared - or late to class. One morning I arrived late, snuck in through the back door and found a seat in the next to last row. I thought I had entered unnoticed. A minute or two later, Ed abruptly stopped, and walked out, leaving the class puzzled over what had upset him this time. He returned a minute later to continue as if nothing had happened.
When class ended, and while I was packing up my things, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and there was my father reveling in the surprise. Without telling me, he had decided to fly up from California to visit me. Before doing so, he called the school to find out my class schedule. This being well before our current privacy laws, he got the requested information, including that Ed was my morning professor. He called Ed, who of course welcomed him to surprise me at the door to the classroom and to sit in on the class. My tardiness and back door entry put a kink into the plan. Ed rolled with it, as did my father.
The fact that I never engaged in civil litigation but instead went into criminal defense should not be seen as a reflection on Ed's teaching. And, if memory serves, Ed was pleased with my choice." - Philip A. Lewis '78
"Like many others, Ed hired me, as Chair of the Appointments Committee in the late 1970s. We ought to have a plaque in the law school with the "Ed Brunet tree of LC teachers," like they do for baseball managers. It would have to be a big plaque. He may have made at least as large a mark on the law school through his Appointments work as through his teaching.
Ed was also a first-rate scholar for nearly five decades. Moreover, he was a generous reviewer and without a doubt the most interested colleague in your work, always making inquires about what you were up to. Looking back, I think his inquiries probably made me more productive, just so I'd have something to say in response to his persistent (but friendly) questions. He always seemed quite interested, even in the most obscure topics (of which I had many), a trait which probably helped make him the great teacher he was. He was interested in so many things.
Ed was reputed to be a great basketball player, but he had torn up his knee by the time the faculty basketball team won 5 B-league championships in the 1980s. Nevertheless, he and Doug Newell (who did play for the team) became outstanding recruiters, and we never spoke about what sort of inducements they may have offered to the temporary "faculty" who played for the team.
You were always happy when Ed came by your office to catch up. He had an infectious enthusiasm that stayed with you after he left. I have missed those encounters with Fast Eddie in last few years but am grateful that I got to experience them for as long as I did." - Professor Michael Blumm
"I was extremely privileged to have been a co-author with Ed on an arbitration book (also with Dick Speidel and Steve Ware). I experienced first-hand Ed's intelligence, generosity, and sense of humor. Ed took the leading role on coming up with the idea for the book, working with the publisher, and helping us fit all of our disparate views together into a single book. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Ed and am very sad that he is gone." - Jean Sternlight, Saltman Professor of Law & Director Saltman Center for Conflict Resolution, William S. Boyd School of Law UNLV.
"Ed was a kind and generous person and a scholar excited about ideas. He will be missed."  - Professor Robert G. Bone, The University of Texas School of Law
"I join the many others expressing admiration of Ed. Except for Charles Alan Wright, I don't think there's anyone else who had a chair named after him. And he's been featured in our Complex Litigation book since the first edition in 1985 – a third of a century ago.
I knew about his progressive disease from way back, and was constantly amazed by his ability to cope with it with grace." - Professor Richard Marcus, UC Hastings
"Ed was a wonderful and supportive colleague." – Professor Amanda Frost, American University Washington College of Law
" Ed was a lovely man. He battled a progressive disease with courage and wit. He was one of those rare individuals who made those around him better – better scholars and better people." - Professor Steve Burbank, UPenn Law
"Ed was a model of how we should be in our profession – always interested in others' work, contributing, and encouraging. Ed was a wonderful man and mentor. He was so nice to me when I started in the profession 35 years ago and through the years. He visited with us here at Emory for an entire year in the early 2000s, and I got to know him better. His civil procedure expertise was excelled only by his knowledge of baseball." - Richard D. Freer, Charles Howard Candler Professor of Law, Emory University
"Ed was such a kind man and role model. He will be missed." – Beth Thornburg, Richard R. Lee Endowed Professor, SMU Dedman School of Law
"I was terribly saddened by the news, even though I guess I knew he wasn't doing well when he stopped replying to my email messages.
In addition to being a first class law teacher and scholar, he was one of the nicest individuals I ever came in contact with. I will miss him; even though our contact over the years was limited, it extends back all the way to 1991, when Ed was kind enough to invite me to be the Higgins distinguished scholar in residence at Lewis & Clark, and provided the basis for what I considered a strong friendship and mutual respect.
As silly as it probably sounds, my first thought when I read your message–after the overwhelming sadness–was to think how much he would have enjoyed discussing Northwestern's dramatic comeback overtime victory yesterday over Nebraska. He was one of the most intelligent, informed and enthusiastic Northwestern Wildcat supporters I have ever met. We bonded over it over the years, and back in the late '90s even had the chance to attend a Northwestern game together. He knew more about Northwestern football than virtually anyone I know, and he would have loved to talk about what happened yesterday.
Unfortunately, you and I have never met in person, but Ed couldn't stop telling me what a wonderful person and scholar you are. Your work on the summary judgment book only confirms Ed's glowing comments. That makes me so happy that you hold the chair that bears his name, and that he knew about this before his passing." – Professor Marty Redish, Northwestern Law School
With a Lewis & Clark education, our graduates are equipped with the tools they need to change the world. Whether they enter politics or the Peace Corps, our alumni serve as leaders in communities from Alaska to Wyoming, Antigua to Zimbabwe.

First Floor Plan of Borley Rectory drawn by Sidney H. Glanville, one of Harry Price's official observers who spent a great deal of time at the Rectory during the tenancy of 1937-38. This appears to be the second version of the floor plan that Glanville prepared & is the one which was used by Harry Price in both The Most Haunted House in England (Longmans, Green & Co., 1940) and The End of Borley Rectory (Harrap, 1946). There are omissions & inconsistencies between both sets of Glanville's drawings - compare the first version that includes the corridor window to the 1877 extension which is omitted from this later drawing and the re-drawing of the lavatory area adjacent to the chapel.

Il lago Musters, si trova nella regione centrale della Patagonia Argentina, a sud della provincia del Chubut, ed insieme al lago Colhué Huapi costituisce la fase terminale dell'attuale bacino endoreico del Río Senguer. Entrambi i laghi si trovano nel bacino di Sarmiento.

Le origini del nome
Questo grande specchio d'acqua era chiamato Otrón dagli antichi abitanti della zona di etnia Chonik (Tehuelche), probabilmente appartenenti al popolo Aonikenk (Tehuelches del sud).

Il naturalista e geografo Francisco Moreno probabilmente ignorava il toponimo originale, ed in un'esplorazione compiuta nella primavera del 1876 si ritrovò nel bacino dei laghi Colhué Huapi ed Otrón, e battezzò il lago con il nome Musters, in onore del navigatore ed esploratore inglese che, nel 1869, vi passò poco lontano senza saperlo, a capo di una spedizione di 2.700 km e della durata di dieci mesi.

In questa avventura, George Chaworth Musters fu accompagnato da un gruppo di guerrieri tehuelches ed ebbe contatti con le tribu mapuche. Due anni dopo, Musters pubblicò a Londra un diario di viaggio intitolato Vida entre los patagones (Vita con i Patagoni), nel quale descriveva i temuti indios della Patagonia come fidati amici con i quali si poteva convivere e condividere un viaggio di parecchi mesi.

Nelle parole di Moreno, questo specchio d'acqua è:

Idrologia
Il lago Musters occupa una depressione originata strutturalmente alla fine del Cretaceo, in piena meseta patagonica centrale. Il suo unico immissario è il Río Senguer, alimentato a sua volta dalle acque del disgelo andino i cui flussi vengono regolati attraverso i laghi Fontana e La Plata. Dopo un percorso di 350 km dalle Ande ed attraverso tutto l'altopiano centrale della provincia del Chubut, il fiume si riversa nel lago con una portata media annuale di 54 m3/s.

Entrando in quest'ampia pianura alluvionale ed eolica il fiume Senguer si divide in numerosi rami secondari, generalmente secchi, che assumono una conformazione a ventaglio orientata verso nord-est. Il suo ramo principale si dirige verso la fossa tettonica del lago Musters suddividendosi ulteriormente in due rami, uno dei quali si immette nel lago nella sua sponda sud, mentre l'altro si riversa nel Lago Colhué Huapi, ubicato pochi chilometri ad est.

Questa derivazione del fiume che collega i due laghi ha dato origine al nome Falso Senguer, ed il suo corso a meandri scorre a nord della località di Sarmiento. La ramificazione più a sud del Río Senguer è un affluente del Cerro Negro. Forma meandri, stagni e paludi, ma si riversa nel lago Colhué Huapi solo durante inondazioni straordinarie.

Il lago Musters presenta una sponda sud pianeggiante e paludosa. In questo settore le sue acque sono contenute da una barriera di sabbie e massi che ha avuto origine per azione del vento e delle onde. Tale barriera non impedisce che una parte delle acque scorrano per infiltrazione, principalmente lungo il letto del Falso Senguer. La restante parte delle sue sponde si presenta elevata ed asciutta, garantendo un sicuro contenimento delle acque. È separato dal lago Colhué Huapi da un istmo largo 12 km ed alto 695 ms.l.m..

Il lago Musters ha origine tettonica. La sua profondità media è di 20 m e dona alle sue acque un colore azzurro intenso. Può essere considerato un lago mesotrofico, sia ser quanto riguarda il livello di nutrienti e clorofilla, sia per il contenuto di biomassa algale (circa 5,29 g/m3).

Il lago Colhué Huapi è invece poco profondo (mediamente 2 m), con acque torbide dovute all'alta concentrazione di sedimenti sospesi, ed il suo fondale si è probabilmente originato dall'azione congiunta del vento e dell'erosione.

Ittiofauna
Nel lago Musters vive un'abbondante fauna acquatica composta principalmente da pesci (Percichthys trucha e Odontesthes microlepidotus). Come i quasi tutti i laghi della Patagonia sono state introdotte specie di salmoni esotici che si sono ambientati molto bene. Le specie principali sono: Salvelinus fontinalis, Oncorhynchus mykiss e Salmo fario.

Si sono sviluppate le attività di pesca sportiva ed a scopo commerciale e l'allevamento di salmonidi per il consumo. Le quantità di pescato commerciale oscillano intorno alle 120 t/anno.

La pressione esercitata dalle specie esotiche (salmonidi) su alcune specie autoctone, come il Diplomystres viedmensis mesembrinus ed il Galaxias platei, ha portato alla riduzione di queste ultime che attualmente sono a rischio.

Situazione ambientale
Il Lago Musters è naturalmente soggetto ad un severo processo di evaporazione, sia ad opera del vento sia per effetto della radiazione solare. Inoltre, in condizioni normali, parte del suo volume d'acqua si riversa nel braccio chiamato Falso Senguer, determinando un apporto d'acqua al lago Colhué Huapi, nel quale il processo di evaporazione si compie con maggiore intensità.

Con numerosi interventi da parte dell'uomo, sono state realizzate, in questa conca, opere di presa per alimentare acquedotti d'acqua potabile dal lago Musters ed opere di canalizzazione per usi irrigui con il prelievo di grandi volumi d'acqua dal Río Senguer. Questi interventi hanno compromesso l'equilibrio idraulico del sistema portandolo quasi al limite del collasso. Si osserva perciò una crescente diminuzione del livello del Lago Musters, ed un'accelerazione nel processo di prosciugamento nel Colhué Huapi.

Il bilancio idrico nella conca è stato negativo negli ultimi settant'anni. La situazione ambientale può essere definita gravemente compromessa, e costituisce la principale emergenza ambientale da affrontare per mantenere il precario equilibrio idro-biologico del sistema.

The Democratic Party Has Officially Gone Full Fascist [OP-ED]
By Seth Connell
Published June 29, 2016 at 7:05am
For decades, those who have been paying attention know that the Democratic Party has gradually become more and more hostile to individual freedom. From Woodrow Wilson to FDR, from LBJ to Barack Obama, the American Left has led a full-frontal assault on individual liberty.
Starting with the Progressive movement in the early 20th century, Democrats (and some Republicans too) began to enact big government policies with the hope of curing all society's ails. According to Progressives, the solution to any problem is more government control over it.
Fast-forward 100 years later, to the early 21st century. We now find that Progressivism is not only alive and well, but that it has evolved into a far more sinister movement. As time has progressed, and as government power has increased, Progressives have become intoxicated with and addicted to this power.
As the snowball of government power increases, so does the strength of the addiction. The addiction has become so strong that the Democratic Party, the bastion of the Progressive movement, has officially become the party of fascism in the United States.
When you think of fascism, often the images of Adolf Hitler come to mind; and along with it, Leftists accusations that fascism is a purely right-wing ideology. However, that could not be further from the truth.
One of the key components of both fascism and socialism is control and direction over the means of production, also known as central planning. Control of the economy by government bureaucrats in pursuit of some goal is carried out in the exact same manner by both socialists and fascists.
Not only do both have economic control, but they also have the same enemies: the bourgeoisie. Think Hitler was a friend of capitalism? Wrong!
In the speech of May 1, 2927, Hitler stated the following:
We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions.
Fascism and socialism are two species of the same genus, two wings of the same authoritarian bird. And that bird is alive and well today, fighting against the American eagle in a cosmic battle for freedom.
RELATED: EXPOSED: Maxine Water's SICK Hypocrisy on Nepotism in Politics
An important aspect of fascism (and socialism as well) is that the State is the ultimate power in the universe. Everything becomes subservient to it. Individual rights become irrelevant, limits on power are destroyed. This happened in Germany under the Nazis, and it is happening in the United States under the Democratic Party. Let's take a look at some of the recent examples that we have covered at The Federalist Papers Project that confirm their fascist transformation.
First, Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut stood on the Senate floor for 15 hours demanding that the Senate vote on new gun control laws in response to Orlando terrorist attack.
Robert Gehl reports:
Democrats see this as a winning issue, but make no mistake: Denying American citizens their fundamental rights based merely on being "suspected" of committing a crime is a very dangerous precedent. Nobody wants terrorists to have guns, but "suspected terrorists?" Who are those? And who decides who's a "suspect"? They certainly haven't been convicted in a court of law and – by definition – are still presumed innocent, aren't they?
Murphy and several other Democratic Senators literally held the floor demanding that people only suspected of terrorism be denied fundamental rights. Not arrested, not indicted, not convicted; merely being on a secret watchlist.
Second, along that line of thought, Senator Dianne Feinstein had chilling remarks about the terrorist watch list and what a person should do if accidentally placed on one.
V. Saxena reports:
Forget due process, because according to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, it rests on Americans to "prove their innocence" if they desire to purchase a firearm.
This brings us to a bill proposed by Feinstein that "would effectively strip away the 2nd Amendment rights of any Americans wrongfully placed on the terror watch list, flipping on its head the essential concept of 'innocent until proven guilty,'" according to The Daily Wire.
Unbelievable! Feinstein wants the burden of proof placed on YOU, the accused. Because the centuries of jurisprudence regarding rights of the accused don't matter in the Democratic Party. You can be placed on this list, not know about it, be denied the right to own a gun, then be required to prove that you are not a terrorist. This is insane!
But they're not done yet…
Third, let's say you're on that list. Why are you there? What in God's name did you do now (beside posting anti-Obama stuff on Facebook)? Well, maybe you didn't do anything at all, and you're a direct victim of big government.
Federal Air Marshals are putting completely innocent people on government terrorist "watch lists" merely to keep up with quota set up by their superiors.
"Innocent passengers are being entered into an international intelligence database as suspicious persons, acting in a suspicious manner on an aircraft … and they did nothing wrong," one marshal told the station.
These completely innocent passengers end up on a secret government document called a "Surveillance Detection Report" (SDR). The quota system and secret documents are still being used today.
Keep in mind that liberals in Washington have decided the only way to protect us from terrorism is to deny the Second Amendment right to citizens who are arbitrarily placed on secret government lists like this.
Oh my God! This is literal lunacy! Just so they can get raises and bonuses and meet QUOTAS? What is not fascist about that? But is that enough? Absolutely not.
What if this system was overhauled due to a new wave of lawmakers being elected. What if the people had enough of this fascist garbage and elected liberty-minded candidates who shut this down? Well, the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party, the mainstream media, suggest something like this:
The older you were, the more likely you were to vote in favor of "Brexit," or the United Kingdom leaving the European Union.
Since the media doesn't like this, they've come up with a novel idea: Ban older people from voting.
Ban people from voting? What happened to democracy and universal suffrage? Out the window when the people say not to globalism or authoritarianism. Disenfranchisement because of disagreement with the results: that is a fascist move.
Finally, let's say you're STILL protesting this. Let's say that you just can't keep your mouth shut and keep calling out authoritarianism for what it is. Well if the Democrats get their way, they can prosecute you for disagreeing with them, First Amendment be damned!
In their official party platform, Democrats have taken a page right from North Korea.
They've taken the official position that companies who disagree with them on climate change should be prosecuted by the Justice Department.
What this amounts to is a total shredding of the First Amendment, for they are calling for the silencing of global warming critics under the threat of criminal charges.
"The Committee unanimously adopted a joint proposal from Sanders and Clinton representatives to commit to making America run entirely on clean energy by mid-century, and supporting the ambitious goals put forward by President Obama and the Paris climate agreement.," their website reads. "Another joint proposal calling on the Department of Justice to investigate alleged corporate fraud on the part of fossil fuel companies who have reportedly misled shareholders and the public on the scientific reality of climate change was also adopted by unanimous consent.
Is it clicking yet?
I could list countless other things the Democrats want, but this is just in the last several weeks (and this isn't even exhaustive). The Democratic Party really has completely flown off the handle and is now America's own party of fascism.
As Senator Padme Amidala opined in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith:
"So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause…"

what can we do? this is my biggest fear as I approach retirement. I am now looking for other countries to live, it seems the American people love fascism but do not understand what they stand for. They've forgotten about freedom and liberty. I'm scared. I've been watching this creep up for years now. do you have any suggestion to move to where we would be safe? I know I will be put in a concentration/re-education camp and even put to death. The jews had warning this was coming, and now we have that same warning. It appears there is nothing we can do. GOV opposes and disregards its citizens and the bill of rights and constitution this country was founded on.

Named so after the infamous Cheech and Chong Album, this extraordinary two year undertaking by the Starn brothers has to be seen to be believed. Using (currently 2000) bamboo poles the artists and their team of assistants have assembled a continuously morphing structure that moves, envelopes and evolves along the length of their enormous studio. The entire process which involves de constructing the trailing edge and reconstructing the leading edge, is documented, and the resulting photographic montage will show an image of a construction that never existed in its exhibited state.

Diary of a busy practitioner, juggling work and family somewhere in England. This week: Tantrums, Twitter and standstill agreements
Last weekend was terrible. Deceptively Angelic Looking Child 1's (DALC1) angelic looks have been more deceptive than ever as she has flown into rages about every hour. She is picking fights with us, to the extent of throwing games of noughts and crosses so she can get angry about losing. I'm frantically reading the Danish Way of Parenting (not the first, or even the fifth child manual I have bought and tried to speed read on such occasions), snapping at my husband for losing his cool about five minutes after she does every hour, trying to ensure DALC2 isn't miserable ('I'll turn my chair like this in case she hits me', DALC2 said as DALC1 approached the dinner table tonight, fully aware that she could get whacked just for existing), trying to give DALC1 extra attention in case that's what she's after, trying to keep on top of the mess we are creating having all the Great Fun, getting more and more anxious every time I check Twitter because apparently now standstill agreements in 1975 Act claims are NOT the thing, and worrying about Mom jeans.
Having moved away from a very large shopping centre four years ago, most of my shopping is done online. We have the shops, but very small, dated versions of the shops. Am I the only one who has noticed that M&S in the sticks is solely aimed at old ladies? So I've been googling these jeans that everyone seems to be wearing (by which I mean the people on the telly, in magazines and the mums at DALC1's gymnastics lessons). They wear baggy t shirts tucked into these jeans that are straight from the nineties, worn with a belt and a little turn up. Can anyone save me some time by telling me if these jeans are called Mom jeans because they give even the slenderest of teens a post-natal tum or because mums can totally look awesome in them? I am thinking the former. I do need some new clothes, though, because last summer every time I walked through our kitchen a very small Golden Retriever with razor teeth shredded my outfit. One day my shorts came right off.
And what about these standstill agreements. Before I came off social media personally (because of the data theft, end of democracy and very annoying people) I had a Twitter account on which I followed a random selection of people who were on Twitter in the early days, like Davina McCall, Stephen Fry and @HarryMyCatDied which was an account set up solely for the purpose of retweeting tweets to Harry Styles about the deaths of pets. Under my new @mother__in__law handle I have tried to be more selective, which basically means this weekend all I have seen are tweets saying 'STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND ISSUE YOUR 1975 ACT CLAIMS!' This has definitely been covered more comprehensively on other pages of this website but essentially Mr Justice Mostyn has said people shouldn't be using them and suggests the practice ends immediately. Well, Mr Justice Mostyn, that is just bloody ridiculous. Has anyone ever had an experience where entering into a standstill agreement was a bad idea, in terms of the costs saved and the extra opportunity to negotiate before issuing a (front loaded, Part 8) claim? I might go back to my old account and see what Davina is up to these days.
And as for DALC1, I don't know. What I do know is how much Pre-Kids Me would have judged her for her behaviour this weekend. Truth is she's an awesome kid. One and a half years into schooling she's nearly at the end of the school's reading scheme. She comes home and makes model solar systems for fun, does maths games also for fun, is very proud of her 'home learning desk', is very physically active, loves our dog so much they could end up on Britain's Got Talent, and is always looking out for Potential Safety Hazards that could harm her little sister. I'm sure there is nothing upsetting her, as such.
My aunt once told me that kids aren't mini adults, they are practising at being adults. And they get it wrong. This was a lightbulb moment for me. Once DALC1 wrote the word 'poo' on DALC2's leg, which I completely forgot until we got to DALC2's swimming lesson, when one of the first time mums who have no idea what's in store as their baby gets a personality said 'oh, what's that on DALC2's leg?' to which I obviously replied 'the word poo', to much awkward smiling and judging of my parenting. The point is, as long as she's not doing that kind of thing when she's my age, I think we will be all right. Last night I decided I would take her to Costa at the weekend, for some time to chat. She cracked up at my Costa Fortune joke, so I think I might be onto a winner.

Escape Rooms: The New Weekend Craze
Katie B. Published on August 1, 2019
_______________________ ADVERTISEMENT _______________________
Ever heard of an escape room? The fairly new phenomenon is picking up across the world, a fun, unique option for the whole family!
An escape room, also known as an "escape game", is a physical adventure game. Players must solve puzzles and riddles to complete the objective at hand in order to escape the room! Clues, hints and strategies are used to figure out the exit strategy…this is a group effort! There is a set time-limit in place to complete the puzzle by. Most escape rooms are set in spooky fictional locations such as haunted houses, dungeons and prison cells. The puzzles and riddles in each escape room usually coincide with the theme of the room; prison cell, think of handcuffs and prisoner cells!
Who Can Play?
Escape rooms are so great because they are for the whole family! You and your little ones will have a blast trying to figure out how to escape the room…it's a real-live puzzle! Not only are they perfect for the family on a rainy day, they're also a great spot for a date! You'll get super close with your significant other trying to figure out this exciting game…and you'll have great stories to tell your friends! Offices even have adult field-trips for their employees, a great team-building and problem-solving exercise. Can you believe that a man proposed in an escape room?! We're sure his fiance was shocked!
Although we wish this fun-filled activity was inexpensive, it is actually quite pricey. Most escape rooms around the world charge $25 to $30 per person for a 1 hour game. For a family of four that's give or take $100. Going to the movie theater is a cheaper option…but, escape rooms are hands-on, offering an educational experience. Money can't buy that!

I read few topics here and also on other pages, but nothing helped me. Please give me some advices, what should I change or what I have forgot to add.

A: You have to use "unitName" instead of "name" in the PersistenceContext-Annotation.
And you don't need the Resources Class, just inject the EntityManager everywhere you need.
@PersistenceContext(unitName = "primary")
private EntityManager entityManager;

In the following video, you can listen to various positions around a sculpture by Henry Moore. Each position is played 3 times. The sound is triggered with a pre-recorded sample of snapping fingers.
When you compare the sonification with the 3D mesh in the video, you will find that the louder sounds belong to the brighter surface triangles or areas of the sculpture closer to and facing you.
In September of 2012 we had the opportunity to test our project with various participants from the visually impaired community in Montreal. It was exciting to see that some of our audio rendering cues made sense to them and that our participants were able to identify the different positions of the sculptures tested. Big thank you to all of our participants for kindly coming to CIRMMT to test our proof of concept.
For our pilot study we built small replicas of various existing sculptures; some of them found in the Mont Royal park. We placed the replicas on a rotating knob that allowed our participants to explore them from different view points (by rotating the knob). This was analogous to going around the sculpture. The exploration consisted of touching the sculpture and snapping fingers (or tongue clicking) from each different position.
The sculpture replied back to each sound produced by the participant. The audible response was created by convolving the input sounds with a sonification of the sculpture that was based on the triangular mesh from the 3D model. We took into account the triangle size, its vertical position and the surface-normals with respect to the listener perspective. The interaction between the participant and the sculpture is illustrated in the video below.
The example illustrated here relates to a sculpture by Henri Moore.
The following audio files present an example of the two different audio rendering approaches tested. The first one, shockwave, is inspired by echolocation, where surface triangles respond according to their distance to the listener.
The second approach, panorama, is a scan across the stereo-panorama from left to right.
The diagram below presents our pipeline to create the audible sculptures. It goes from measuring the sculptures to generating a 3D model of the sculpture, all the way to our real time sound synthesis program in SuperCollider.
Using the OBJ format was the bridge between the 3D world and our audio synthesis program. We found the description of the OBJ format by Paul Bourke particularly useful. Thanks to the the Wavefront OBJ Matlab toolbox by Dirk-Jan Kroo we were able to import our OBJ files into Matlab. From here it was easy to manipulate a large matrix with the vectors and surface normals to then output a CVS file with a data format that facilitated the reading and processing of the 3D model in SuperCollider.
Motivated by observations during our field study with the blind community within the In Situ Audio Services (ISAS) project, we were intrigued by the possibility of rendering for them an acoustic description of physical art forms as an analogue to the experience that sighted individuals receive as they walk down the street or visit a museum.
This project was possible thanks to the Strategic Innovation Fund award from the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology (CIRMMT). The project was developed at CIRMMT and the Shared Reality Lab led by Jeremy Cooperstock.

WINGSForum heads to Africa in 2020
Charles Keidan
The global philanthropy infrastructure body WINGS will hold its next major gathering in Africa in 2020. The WINGSForum, which brings together umbrella bodies of foundations and professionals will take place in Kenya's capital, Nairobi, it was announced at the conclusion of the 2017 WINGSForum in Mexico City.
The selection of Nairobi, following a successful bid from the African Philanthropy Network (APN) is a boon for philanthropy in Africa. It comes after the establishment of the continent's first Chair in African Philanthropy at Wits University in South Africa and the creation of a third sector research partnership between WACSI in Accra, Ghana and the International Society for Third Sector Research.
The 2017 WINGSForum, which welcomed participants from over 40 countries, was hosted by Cemefi, the Mexican Center for Philanthropy. It ended with a declaration from its 167 member organisations condemning the rise of hate speech:
'We condemn the rise of hate speech and the closing of civic space. We oppose those trends, whether in the form of attempts to vilify "the other", spread misinformation, silence rights advocates, or use fear as a tool for manipulating public opinion. We commit ourselves to oppose trends wherever we have influence.'
The declaration also offered 'support and solidarity with those who feel threatened by the rise of prejudice or national supremacy movements wherever they appear around the globe.'

Some of you already know that since some time I try to learn how to play the piano. Although I bought the Cubase application from Steinberg, I was very unhappy with the startup time. It took around one minute just to be able to start playing. In case you want to rehearse a little bit, that is very inconvenient.
As a developer only one solution comes to your mind: "Write your own stuff". As I am more into developing the background and engines, I investigated on the MIDI C++ support on Windows and I was fairly surprised how easy it is to get reasonable results. These have been integrated into a little Qt library which handles all native MIDI events for you. Since the GPL exception added by Trolltech with the Qt 4.3.2 release I am now also able to publish this code under BSD license, so feel free to do with it, whatever you like to.
Ok, that explains one thirth of the topic, but why Meep? It has multiple backgrounds. First is, I wanted to quote a friend of mine, as we had some long discussions about libmidi3.so But mostly it was because of the reason that this is the first thing coming to your mind when you think of MIDI. MIDI? Isn't that this crap, which only does meep, meep? It always takes some effort to get usable results out of your MIDI device and/or application. Finally I wanted to get rid of the "Kald-" prefixes like in Kaldience and Kaldile.
So, all you need are two instantiated devices and then you can use them to build up routes. You can also connect one device to multiple targets, or multiple sources to on target. As the MIDI standard allows this, nothing should stop you in meep to do this. In the Software section I will provide some static binaries, simply take a look at the devicelogger example. That one allows you to connect a MIDI input with an output. I usually use it for connecting the MIDI keyboard with the Microsoft MIDI synthesizer, which is good enough for a quick play as my speakers are not of best quality anyway.
In case you are interested, just feel free to download the source and play around with it. I am always opened for feedback.


The problem was discovered around 6 a.m. Tuesday, and was fixed by 4:30 Wednesday morning — that's almost 24-hours on the job in the cold.
UTICA, N.Y. -- Water authority crews have fixed the massive water main break in Utica, and now it's the Department of Transportation's turn finish up the next phase of repairs.
The DOT says the frigid remperatures, coupled with the age of the pipe caused the break.
The contractor for the Route 5S project and DOT maintenance are in inspecting the roadway. They have to clean it up and perform the necessary work to get the road open for traffic.
"Due to the water main break, as you can see there's quite a hole there. Not only do the crews need to get to the break itself, but the water undermined the roadway. Now that the main is repaired we are assessing that area along with the entire area that was flooded out to make sure the entire roadway is in good shape," said Jim Piccola, a state DOT spokesperson.
In addition to the water main repair, National Grid was on site reapplying insulation to the existing gas line before the fill was put in.
This area has been under construction since last spring. The state DOT says the section of pipe that broke was never exposed in the construction process, but was scheduled to be replaced as part of this project.
At this time Oriskany Street from Broad Street to Genesee Street is closed in both directions. Most traffic is being rerouted down Broad Street, to the AUD's Adirondack Back Center.


The kids absolutely love it! I am so proud of my daughter for her dancing with Street Beatz especially when she performs in the shows and competitions. Street Beatz is fantastic for the local community and getting children interested in health and fitness.
First and foremost, Street Beatz is all about having fun! The main aim is to provide high quality streetdance classes in a fun, friendly atmosphere. Our main styles are Commercial Street and Hip-Hop. So if you would like to learn to dance like Diversity or Peridot, Beyoncé and Lady Ga Ga, Street Beatz is the place for you! We can offer you the chance to learn the latest moves while keeping fit – all you need is to love moving with the Beatz!
We run a range of weekly classes and after school clubs for different age groups, which last for approximately an hour. Please check our timetable to find your nearest class and time. Classes are based around learning routines which are designed to build on students' dance skills, fitness level and co-ordination, as well as build on their self confidence, social skills and performance ability.
For those who are more serious about their dancing, we also offer opportunities to take part in NATD dance exams, competitions, shows and performances, so there's always something to keep you busy!
All of our teachers are qualified professional dance teachers and members of both the NATD (National Association of Teachers of Dancing) and SDI (Street Dance International). We are First Aid trained and have qualifications in coaching and safeguarding children. Furthermore we all have up to date CRB certificates because child safety is paramount. One thing that unites us is that we love to dance! We teach classes for enthusiasts all over Southampton and really hope you'll come along and join in the fun!
We like to keep things informal and relaxed (this is streetdance after all!), but there are a few things to bear in mind. Although we have our branded clothing range, it is not a compulsory 'uniform' – unless you are involved in a show or competition and representing Street Beatz. For classes, we ask that you wear appropriate sportswear and trainers. Due to safety reasons: no skirts, tight-fitted clothing or loose jewellery to be worn and please don't bring food or chewing gum to class. It's a good idea not to eat shortly before classes, but please DO bring plenty of water!
