Founded in Ohio in 1900, the Ohio Automobile Company produced Packard cars – named after two of the company's founders, James Ward Packard and William Doud Packard. In the early 1900s, a wealthy Detroiter named Henry Bourne Joy bought a Packard and was so impressed with the car that he put together a team of investors to move the company to Detroit, renaming it the Packard Motor Car Company. Packard became extremely successful in the luxury car market, in both the U.S. and abroad – though that success wouldn't last forever. In the years after World War II, the brand struggled with quality and perception issues and finally ceased production in the late 1950s.

ISPCA Legal Handbook
The ISPCA have produced a legal handbook to make Irish animal welfare legislation more accessible to everyone. You can download the full document from their site. Do note though, that it's not been updated in line with recent legislation.
Here, for your delectation, are the link to the full document on their site, the Forward and the Table of Contents:
by Carrie Jane Canniffe B.L., David Burke B.L., Barra Faughnan B.L.
This legal handbook has been produced with many people in mind: members, and especially secretaries, of local SPCA`s, local and national animal welfare Inspectors, other animal welfare bodies in Ireland, and particularly the Garda Siochána, who have the statutory authority over animal welfare in this country, and to whom we are all greatly indebted for their work in enforcing the laws that protect animals. It is our hope that this book will make it easier for everyone concerned to prevent cruelty, and to foster a climate in which all animals are respected and protected from abuse.
On behalf of the ISPCA I would like to thank the legal team which produced it and to express our appreciation of their thoroughness and dedication.
Angela McCarthy
Chairperson ISPCA

What brand of products do you use? We use all RainBird products for sprinkler heads, valves, etc. We have found that they are the most efficient, long-lasting, and best quality products available.
Do you offer any warranties? All RainBird products come with a 5 year parts and labor warranty.
Are refunds available on pre-paid packages? Unfortunately, once a service has been started under a pre-paid contract, we are not able to offer any type of refund. Also, services are only valid during the specific service year of purchase. If you move during the service period, you may transfer the remaining services on your contract to your new residence (as long as it remains within our service area) or you may gift the rest of your contract to the new homeowner. If a service has not been started, refunds are available if requested within 14 days of contract payment.
What is a service call and what is included in a service call? A service call is a request for an appointment to repair or make changes to irrigation system (i.e. adjust controller settings, move heads, replace heads, troubleshoot wiring issues, etc.). A service call is $50 and includes the first 30 minutes on site. Labor after the first 30 minutes is billed in 15 minute increments. Any and all parts used are a separate cost and are billed accordingly.
When are payments due? Payment for all services are due 30 days from the date of the service appointment. You will receive the amount due at the time of your appointment and you are responsible for ensuring that payment is made within 30 days. You will also receive an emailed copy of your invoice. It is highly recommended that payment be made at the end of the appointment in order to avoid a late payment/fees. We can take all forms of payment at the door, over the phone, and online. Late payments may result in overdue fees, voided warranties, and/or a collections filing. Any questions regarding payment amount due must also be addressed within 30 days of date of service.
Can you make a payment online? Yes! When you receive your emailed invoice there will be a link to pay your invoice online.
Does someone need to be home for a residential appointment? Yes, it is requested that someone be available for all irrigation appointments, including turn ons and winterizations. Our technician needs to have access to turn on/off water to the irrigation system (typically in basement), inspect the shut off valve, and have access to the controller. It is also important for you to be available to our technician so that they can show you any repair issues/concerns, discuss recommendations, show you the system, and answer any questions you may have. In special circumstances, other arrangements can be made if necessary.
Can I turn my own system on? It is not recommended. A service call later in the year costs more than the amount to turn on your system. Our techs can find and fix any problems when we are out to turn the system on. We properly set up the controller to optimize water savings and thoroughly run through the entire system. We also check for leaks and additional ways to save you water.
Can you schedule on Saturdays or evenings? Yes. Evening appointments are available upon request. Also during the peak of turn on and winterization season we offer Saturday appointments. Service technicians are typically available between 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Priority is given to customers who have purchased a package for the season.
Does GTI automatically test my backflow at turn on? Backflows are tested by request only and is not automatically done unless it has been pre-paid. Backflows are tested on certain days based upon technician availability, due dates, and location. For additional questions regarding backflows please see our Backflow Testing FAQ page.
Will I get a copy of the services performed during my appointment? We are currently using paperless system. All information regarding the work completed during an appointment as well as the cost will be available electronically with your invoice. This will be emailed to you at the completion of your appointment. Hard copies can be available upon request.

Leda and Peter got married in beautiful Vignamaggio estate, in the heart of Chianti, and both for their wedding and e-session they didn't want anything too fancy. They just wanted the focus to be completely on them and their love, and of course, on the beautiful background of vineyards, hills and amazing Tuscan light. Of course, we couldn't agree more!
When a wedding planner hires you for her wedding, you know you are lucky: everything will be thoughtfully planned and beautifully decorated. And if the couple is also madly in love, and so happy and relax in front of the camera, you definitely know you hit the jackpot.

By updating your landscaping, you can bring a fresh new feeling to your home. You may be able to handle some of the projects on your own, but if not and you're looking for help with landscape design in Jacksonville FL, call a professional today. Lawn and landscaping professionals do this every day for a living, they know how to bring creative ideas to your lawn.
If you have any outdoor containers or flower pots, clean them up and freshen up the plants that are in them. Bring old pots and planters back to life.
Fresh mulch makes any flower bed look great. Update the mulch in your yard with a fresh layer on top of what you already have down. Having that new layer of mulch will make everything in the yard stand out more.
Bring some color into your yard. Plant colorful flowers and plants in your flower beds, flower pots, and any hanging baskets. Having color in your landscape will make it look bright and summery.
Power washing your driveway and walk ways will create a clean look in your yard. You can't always tell how bad the dirt is packed onto your concrete until you power wash it off. Power washing your house is another way to spruce things up. Dirt, dust, and grime build up on your home over time. Power washing this off will make your house look brand new again.
Not everyone has a niche for working outside in the yard. There are professional companies that will come and do all the work for you. They have endless ideas and they know what looks good. You can even find companies that will maintain your lawn and landscaping on a regular basis.
I decided to open up a music store, but I did not have a whole lot of money at the time, and so the building that I purchased was a little bit run down. I was glad that I was able to save money by going with this building, but I also knew that it was going to take quite a bit of work in order to turn it into an actual store. That was why, the moment that I purchased the building, I decided to look into store front renovation newport beach ca in order to see just how much it was going to cost me to get everything up to snuff. Because I had already closed on the building itself, I was a little bit concerned that this was all going to cost me more money than I could afford, but I was already in with both feet, so I had to get something done.
I browsed the web in order to see what companies could handle the renovation, and I even looked into local programs that might help me out with some of the costs. When it was all over, I was able to afford the renovations to the building, and they ended up coming out quite well. Actually, the building itself is now more beautiful than I had ever expected that it could be, and it really does draw the attention of those who are driving or walking by.
The store has now been open for about a month, and we have surprisingly had some pretty good business even without a heavy marketing campaign. I am hoping to invest in marketing some time very soon, and that could possibly put us over the top and secure the future of the business.

KYLE LARSON GETS LEGENDS OF ASCOT MATCH RACE WILD CARD – WINNER'S SHARE NOW $9,000.00!
Perris Auto Speedway
By Scott Daloisio
(Perris, CA, October 17, 2011) Teenage sensation Kyle Larson has accepted the offer for the "Wild Card" spot in 2nd Annual "Legends of Ascot Match Race" during the 16th Annual Budweiser Oval Nationals on Friday, November 4th, at Perris Auto Speedway. At the same time Larson joined the field, Malibu Towing jumped on board as a sponsor and vaulted the winner's share of the purse to $9,000.00.
In accepting the wild card position, Larson, a 19-year-old from Elk Grove, California, will take on Levi Jones of Olney, Illinois, Mike Spencer of Temecula, California, Canton, Illinois' Chris Windom and Nic Faas of Huntington Beach, California.
Jones, 29, who drives for NASCAR star Tony Stewart, is a four-time Amsoil USAC National Sprint Car champ and is the current point leader. Last weekend at Ohio's Toledo Speedway, he wrapped up his second straight USAC Traxxas Silver Crown title. Spencer, 30, is the three-time defending USAC/CRA champion and the current USAC/CRA point leader. Windom, 20, won the Oval Nationals last year and won this year's Indiana Sprint Week championship. Faas, a 22-year-old Cal State Fullerton student, was the 2007 USAC California Ford Focus Midget champion and the 2008 USAC Western Midget champ. Recently he has dominated the competition and won the last two main USAC/CRA main events at The PAS.
Jones and Windom earned their spots by virtue of their first and second place rankings in the USAC National Sprint Car Series. Spencer and Faas did likewise due to being ranked in the top two positions in the USAC/CRA Series. Larson got in due to the phenomenal season he has had thus far in 2011. He has 22 main event wins across the country in a variety of different racecars in several different racing organizations.
The Legends of Ascot Match Race will consist of four, four lap races. The drivers will score points for each race and rotate starting positions every race as well. At the conclusion of the fourth race, the driver with the highest point total will take home a minimum of $9,000.00.
"Wow, what a field and what a purse for the Legend's of Ascot Match Race," Perris promoter Don Kazarian said last Friday. "The quality of the drivers and the size of the purse is going to make this an epic race. With the addition of this event, I think this will be the best Budweiser Oval Nationals of all-time."
Malibu Towing (http://www.malibu-towing.info/) is a big racing supporter and they join a large list of sponsors in making this event possible.
In addition to Malibu Towing, the following companies and individuals have also pledged their support to the Legends of Ascot Match Race. The Estrella WarBird Museum and Woodland Automobile Display, T-Shirts by Timeless, The Allsprint Ranch (Carl Alleman), Anonymous Racing Fan, The Agajanian Family, Decore Plating (Don Argo), La Villa Catering (John Gardner), Total Seal, TR Designs (Tom Roberts), Donovan Engineering, Foremost Coating (Don Claypool), Doug's Auto Body, Bondio Fabrication, Sander Engineering, Ed Iskenderian, Buzz Rose Publications, Danny Sheridan, Thunderhead and Doug Allen Photography. If you would like to donate to the purse, please give Bobby Michnowicz a call at: (310) 347-6661. All of the money donated goes to the drivers.

NIAC Award: Hopping Probes for Interior Mapping of Small Solar System Bodies
Gravity Popper mission concept: A spacecraft deploys a swarm of hopping probes to the surface of a small body and then tracks their trajectories to precisely and iteratively refine a model of the body's gravity field and internal structure. (Credits: Benjamin Hockman)
NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC)
Gravity Poppers: Hopping Probes for the Interior Mapping of Small Solar System Bodies
Benjamin Hockman
The goal of this effort is to develop a robust and affordable mission architecture that enables the gravimetric density reconstruction of small body interiors to unprecedented precision.
Our architecture relies on the novel concept of "Gravity Poppers," which are small, minimalistic probes that are deployed to the surface of a small body and periodically "pop" so as to perpetuate a random hopping motion around the body.
By tracking a large swarm of poppers from orbit, a mother spacecraft can precisely estimate their trajectories and continuously refine a high-resolution map of the body's gravity field, and thus, its internal mass distribution.
In other words, the probes need not be equipped with any sensors or avionics of their own; rather, they themselves act as the sensors through their observed ballistic response to the body's gravity field.
This study aims to advance to TRL-3 the three core technologies that enable such a mission:
(1) the mechanical design of hopping probes to be small, simple, robust, and "visible" to a distant spacecraft,
(2) the tracking strategy for detecting and estimating the trajectories of a large number of ballistic probes, and
(3) the algorithmic framework by which such measurements can be used to iteratively refine a gravity model of the body.
Collectively, our study aims to demonstrate that the high-resolution gravity mapping of small body interiors is technically possible, economically feasible, and would enable a compelling set of science objectives aligned with NASA's goals in planetary science, as well as broader interests in resource prospecting.

Actress Anne Heck seriously injured in a car accident at Mar Vista – NBC Los Angeles
Sydney Clark August 6, 2022 1 min read
Sources told NBCLA that actress Anne Heche was seriously injured in a fatal car accident at a Mar Vista home on Friday.
The incident was reported just before 11 a.m. at 1700 South Street and Grove, said Brian Humphrey of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Police said the driver was speeding down a residential street and driving toward a 30-foot-high house. The Mini Cooper involved in the accident was speeding and possibly hitting a curb before sprinting more than two feet across the front yard and into the house.
The homeowner was in the backyard at the time of the accident and was unharmed.
A neighbor described what he saw after rescuing that driver.
"The house was tons of smoke. I think they used the lever to move the car to get the driver out. It was crazy."
Humphrey said the car stopped inside a two-story 738-square-foot home built in 1952.
Humphrey said the accident caused a structural settlement and a fire.
"It took 59 firefighters 65 minutes to reach, confine and extinguish the stubborn flames inside the severely damaged structure, and rescue an adult woman found inside the vehicle, who was taken to the area hospital by LAFD paramedics in critical condition," Humphrey said.

iOS 9.3.2 Beta 3 Released for Testing
Apr 26, 2016 - 2 Comments
Apple has released iOS 9.3.2 beta 3 to users participating in the beta testing program. The new build arrives versioned as 13F65 and presumably focuses on bug fixes and improvements to the mobile operating system.
There are no obvious new features included in the minor point release thus far, which is fairly typical of a bug fix build. There are a few refinements however, with the latest beta versions supporting enabling Night Shift and Low Power Mode concurrently, which is a nice touch.
Users who are running an existing iOS 9.3.2 beta build can find iOS 9.3.2 beta 3 available now through the Software Update mechanism on their iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Currently the 3rd beta release is available for developers, but the public beta version is soon to follow.
Despite usually issuing beta releases for all ongoing operating system efforts, at the moment there are no new betas for OS X 10.11.5, WatchOS 2.2.1, or tvOS 9.2.1.
Apple usually goes through a variety of beta builds before releasing a public version, though there is no known public timeline for the release of iOS 9.3.2 to the general public, it's a reasonable assumption that the final version will be released in several weeks.
macOS High Sierra 10.13.3 Beta 5 Released for Testing
Beta 4 of iOS 10.2.1 and MacOS Sierra 10.12.3 Released for Testing
OS X 10.11.3 Beta 1 Released for Testing
Posted by: Paul Horowitz in News
If Apple is forced to provide the government with a back door, will it come in the form of an IOS update? How would we ever know?
SNicker317 says:
I'm trying to remain hopeful that Apple is finally taking their time; in order to find ALL the issues with OS X 10.11.XX. In particular with issues associated with TimeMachine being so slow to respond and the lack of proper icons, i.e. all set to default icon, on any applications which are stored.

RUNNER UP | REACH
Khayla Almonte-Davila, Katie Mai, Fehintola Okunubi
"Post migration trauma is a commonly under-looked but important risk factor of poor refugee mental health. With Canada receiving such a large influx of refugees, we found it important to understand the resettlement process to learn how to support the refugees' journey to Canada." SFU International provided an additional $500 prize to the REACH team for their work on refugee related issues.
RUNNER UP | On Assistance, Can Work: Employment and Income Generation in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside

Anna brings her experience running an employment program in the neighborhood, and Kim brings her policy and research knowledge to create a community-academic partnership. This research draws on many ideas that have come out of the LEDlab, both from our own work with the lab and that of others." All of the graphics for this project were created by Andrea Robertson of Hypsypops Design Co.
The Global Challenge at SFU is delivered in partnership with the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship at The University of Oxford, RECODE at the J.W. McConnell Family Foundation the Trico Charitable Foundation and SFU Student Engagement and Retention.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

In the above video it is abundantly clear where the National Socialists stood regarding Paganism/Heathenism.
Positive Christianity, meaning practical and real Christianity, was the foundation of National Socialism. The words and actions of the National Socialist regime clearly supported this position. So no matter how many fantasies people wish to have about National Socialism being anti-Christian, they are simply wrong. They either do not understand Christianity and what it is really about, or they don't understand National Socialism – one or the other, or both!


If you're ready to make your health and well-being a priority, I can't wait to work with you!
Has it been years since you felt truly alive and filled with energy and vitality?
Have pain, inflammation, excess weight or hormone issues simply become your new normal?
If so, I'm guessing you're pretty fed up with feeling this way.
But with the expert help of nutrition practitioners, I managed to find the root cause of my hormonal imbalance, IBS and rosacea. Since then I've never looked back.
Now I have the privilege of sharing my knowledge of nutrition and functional medicine with clients all around the world to help them achieve optimum health and live the lifestyle they desire.
Have you been putting off getting professional help for your nutrition, health and weight issues?
Leave behind the stress and the struggles, the overwhelm and confusion around food choices and the anxiety and fears around body image.
Say goodbye to autoimmune disease and inflammation, chronic fatigue and sore, aching joints.
Get rid of IBS, bloating, acne, PMS and hormonal imbalance.
Reduce chronic stress, headaches, migraines and recurrent infections and finally get a good night's sleep.
Hi, I'm Pippa, a nutrition and weight loss specialist, Metabolic Balance coach and Functional Medicine Practitioner with extensive post-graduate training and experience working with clients on a 1-1 basis.
I'm passionate about getting to the root cause of health issues and creating nutrition and lifestyle programmes that get real results, fast.
I love to work with clients who already to embrace change; people who, despite their illness, pain or personal situation, are willing and ready to learn how to boost their health and well-being.
Pippa has changed my life, quite literally!
I have had so many gut related issues over several years, to the point I had thought it was 'normal' and then someone recommended Pippa.
After having a face time consultation and several emails between us, I finally felt I was talking to someone who understood what was happening and more importantly she could help.
Fast forward 3 months and I feel great. No gluten, no dairy, limited sugar and coffee intake and I feel great. This sounds dramatic but once I had got my head around things, It has now become my 'normal' way of life.
I sleep better, I feel better, my skin is more 'alive'. I can eat a meal with looking pregnant within 5 minutes and not feeling so uncomfortable with excess trapped wind.
Pippa is great, so personal, listens and offers solutions. There at the end of an email, message or telephone. I can't thank her enough.

2021 Kickoff: Looking Through the Headlines with Mike Green
Mike Green kicks off the Real Vision Daily Briefing in 2021 with Real Vision's Max Wiethe. Although markets sold off and volatility rose sharply, Mike was not particularly surprised by today's price action and attributes today's selloff to market participants who waited until 2021 to take profits rather than the runoff risks that many attributed to this. He also makes the case for markets building towards a substantial correction at some point in 2021 and gives his outlook for the Georgia runoff and other important events on the horizon. In the intro, Real Vision's Haley Draznin looks at the markets on the first trading day of the year as the VIX surges, Bitcoin ascends to new record highs, stocks react to a grim pandemic outlook.
Mike Green's 2021 Big Picture Outlook
Mike Green of Logica Capital kicks off 2021 for Real Vision viewers with this big picture interview taking stock of an eventful 2020 and looking forward to 2021. Narratives abound and seem to be more important than ever, and although Green does not downplay the significance of narrative, he helps viewers separate the signal from the noise. He deemphasizes both the inflation and rotation trade narratives that have taken hold as of late and argues that their proponents are confusing short-term disruptions with longer-term structural changes. In terms of lasting changes from 2020 continuing in 2021, Mike believes that the current state of relations with US and China and the use of fear by governments to push forward previously unthinkable policies is here to stay. In addition, he gives a sneak peek at what viewers can expect from the "Mike Green in Conversation" series in 2021. Filmed on December 17, 2020. Key Learnings: Mike does not buy popular inflation narratives and believes that the rotation trade is played out at this point. He argues that the structural forces of passive indexation, which have resulted in US large cap and momentum outperformance, have only strengthened and will again be on display in 2021.

Melkman and Pal agree that the combination of unprecedented fiscal and monetary policy has to have unwanted consequences somewhere and that this likely will play out in FX markets. Conversely, Melkman pushes back on Raoul's dollar shortage thesis, arguing that the dollar is in store for a rough 2020 and makes the case for the end of U.S. equity outperformance sooner rather than later.

Will there be Hyperinflation or Deflation? (RE-RELEASE)
Kiril Sokoloff interviews Dr. Lacy Hunt of Hoisington Investment Management, the world's greatest monetary economist and expert on bonds, on the most important issues of the day. Dr. Hunt explains in very lucid language why many of today's beliefs about the global economy are incorrect: The Fed is not printing money now. QE1, QE2 and QE3 were also not printing money. The current massive U.S. fiscal programs will not stimulate the economy, only accelerate its long-term downward-growth trajectory. The productivity of debt has fallen sharply, and with it, the velocity of money. The best that can be expected from global growth post-COVID is 1% in real per-capita terms. Having reached the zero bound, current monetary policy may be counterproductive. The U.S. has no net national savings and is dissaving for the first time since the 1930s. This means there will not be capital to invest. Based on an examination of 24 over-indebted economies between 1900 and 2008, the over-indebtedness was solved through austerity. The Fed has the power to lend. It does not have the power to spend. However, if the Federal Reserve Act is changed to give the Fed the power to spend, it would result in hyperinflation. The early warning signs are there. The Bank of England may have crossed the Rubicon by giving £500 billion to the UK government to pay its bills. Filmed May 18, 2020.
Debt Deflation Holy Grail (RE-RELEASE)
Real Vision Managing Editor Ed Harrison talks to Richard Koo, Chief Economist at Nomura Research Institute. Koo is famous for his work on balance sheet recessions, a rare type of recession where drastic liquidity injections fail to increase the money supply because they remain trapped in the financial system, as there's no low demand for loans since companies focus on minimizing debt rather than maximizing profits. He and Harrison discuss this framework in detail, and use it to analyze our current economic crisis the world faces. Koo draws a contrast between the traditional balance sheet recession, where a bursting of a debt-financed bubble causes a collapse in asset prices and an emergence of debt overhang, with what he refers to as a "pandemic recession," where an exogenous collapse of economic activity leads to disappearing income and a tightening of financial conditions. Koo and Harrison also discuss the various toolkits available to central banks and fiscal authorities worldwide, and Koo shares what he thinks what a sound policy response might look like.

Jeffrey Gundlach -- Waiting for the Next Big Trade (RE-RELEASE)
Jeffrey Gundlach, CEO of DoubleLine Capital, has evolved his investment style over the years, and although he is still the "bond king", increasingly he has become multi-asset with a focus on getting the macro right. In this interview with Real Vision CEO Raoul Pal, Gundlach explains how he thinks about time frames, position sizing based on asset class, and how his style changes based on whether the market is alpha or beta driven. He also provides his current outlook, arguing that there is not much opportunity in this environment and that the most important thing at the moment is managing risk while patiently waiting for the next big trade. He also touches on timely topics like the potential for a wave of insolvency, why he believes we are in the midst of The Fourth Turning, his skeptical view of bitcoin, and why he is bullish on the dollar in the short term despite his highest conviction macro view being pronounced dollar weakness. Filmed on October 1, 2020.
Looking Forward at Interest Rates, the U.S. Dollar, Volatility, and the B117 Variant
Real Vision CEO and co-founder Raoul Pal joins Real Vision managing editor Ed Harrison for a nuanced discussion of how the economic recovery will evolve over the next few months. Raoul and Ed interpret today's dismal retail sales figure, which indicate a contraction of total retail activity for the third straight month. With the new B117 COVID-19 variant on the move, Raoul expects economic activity to continue to decline, ebbing away at the dominant reflationary trades that are short U.S. Treasurys as well as the U.S. dollar. Ed asks Raoul his thoughts on the recent storming of the U.S. Capitol, the approaching inauguration of President Elect Joe Biden, and Biden's new $1.9 Trillion stimulus plan. Lastly, Raoul and Ed wax philosophical about "the death of macro": what would happen if the volatility of interest rates and currencies – the bread and butter of macro investing – were extremely low over the next decade? In the intro, editor Jack Farley provides context on bank earnings and the recent short squeeze of GameStop Corp ($GME).
Carly Fiorina: Big tech Has Unprecedented Economic Power
Carly Fiorina, founder and chairman of Carly Fiorina Enterprises and 2016 Republican Presidential candidate, joins Real Vision managing editor Ed Harrison to discuss the value and challenges of regulating big tech and the enormous economic power it has amassed across the globe. Hailing from an extensive career in tech and finance as former CEO of HP, she discusses the opportunities that business can bring to the political table and the challenges she faced as a woman in male-dominated industries, and the value of regulating big tech. She also shares her views on current events from the storming of the Capitol to the political climate to the effects of the pandemic on public policy. Filmed on January 11, 2021. Key Learnings: Fiorina argues that focusing on results rather than partisan issues encourages competition and accountability to restore political systems and revitalize the economy.
Real Vision's New President on the Dollar, Bonds, Bitcoin, and Tether
Managing editor Ed Harrison welcomes Real Vision's new president, Travis Kimmel, to the Daily Briefing. Travis shares his Real Vision journey from an entrepreneur to a self-taught investor and outlines his macro framework for thinking inflation, credit creation, and currency flows. Travis explains why he isn't fully convinced by the reflation narrative and why he believes that fiscal aid is more likely papering over the cracks than truly providing economic stimulus. Travis shares his view of Bitcoin, which he calls "a curious beast" and "a tabula rasa for narratives." Lastly, Travis tells Ed about his concerns about the stable coin Tether. In the intro, Real Vision's Haley Draznin examines the markets reacting ahead of President-elect Biden's stimulus speech this evening, and the implications of the jobless claims rising.

Genius Brands to launch Kartoon Channel! Kidaverse following acquisition of Ameba TV
Tessa Clayton
Genius Brands International has announced that it will be launching its subscription-based Kartoon Channel! Kidaverse on April 15, 2022, at $3.99/month.
Kartoon Channel! Kidaverse will be anchored by technology from the acquisition of Ameba TV, a rapidly growing children's video streaming service.
Kartoon Channel! Kidaverse will include all the popular programmes of Kartoon Channel!, while adding exclusive metaversal content, which will be launched in a phased rollout.
Kartoon Channel! Kidaverse will feature a fully integrated design, including custom avatars and emojis for kids, exclusive games, branded Kidaverse VR goggles, immersive content and NFTs for kids ("KFT"s).
The new platform will also feature collectable digital cards based on many of the channel's popular characters, including those from the upcoming Stan Lee Universe, debuting in Q4 2022, and a digital currency for kids called Kidaverse MetaBuck$. Additionally, the Kartoon Channel! Kidaverse is planning to introduce child-safe messaging ("Messies"), podcasts, music, and more.
"Kartoon Channel! Kidaverse is expected to revolutionise children's entertainment, because it will include all of the popular animated programmes of a children's channel, metaverse features and, most importantly, it will be fully curated and child safe," says Genius Brands Chairman and CEO, Andy Heyward.
"The single strongest message we receive from parents is the concern about safety for children on screens, whether it is programme content or roaming around the internet and various apps. The premise of the Kartoon Channel! Kidaverse is to provide children with fun, positive, engaging digital media AND to provide them with a safe and parent-controlled product."
In addition to the hit shows of Kartoon Channel! today, including Stan Lee's Superhero Kindergarten, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rainbow Rangers, Peppa Pig, PJ Masks, Minecraft, Surviving Roblox, My Little Pony, and Yu Gi Oh, Kartoon Channel! Kidaverse will add another 13,000 episodes under license to Ameba, including hit brands such as Casper The Friendly Ghost, Donkey Kong Country, Gummy Bears, and Rescue Heroes.
The platform will also become the home to the several thousand hours of animated content available through its recent acquisition of Canada's WOW! Unlimited Media and strategic investment in Germany's Your Family Entertainment (YFE). The Company believes this will make it the largest single children's portal of animation in the world, with over 20,000 animated titles under license.
"As Kartoon Channel! has grown, many of our viewers have asked for a commercial-free version of the experience," says Jon Ollwerther, Kartoon Channel! President. "While our free, ad-supported platform will still be available to consumers, the subscription-based Kartoon Channel! Kidaverse will address that market need, while also building the 360-degree kid's digital media platform of the future. We believe it will be a unique entertainment experience that simply cannot be had anywhere else."

Reading Diary: Feb. 19-Feb. 25
Voices, by Nick Coleman: An exploration of the pop and rock singers whose sound has meant something to Coleman, an established music journalist. They're not necessarily the most technically adroit or conventionally beautiful voices, but they're the ones that have connected somewhere deep in his gut. His writing is both off-the-wall (the first chapter includes extended musing on a putative race of post-apocalyptic ant-men and their likely reaction to the music of Elvis Presley and Little Richard) and effectively personal (there's a beautiful section on watching a friend have a panic attack to the sounds of Joy Division). Really worthwhile – now I have a playlist.
The Snakes, by Sadie Jones: An impressively sinister slow-burner of a novel about a couple whose plan to take a few months out goes immediately awry when they visit wife Beatrice's brother Alex at his non-functioning hotel in France. Jones is terrifically, and terrifyingly, perceptive on the emotional claustrophobia of wealthy families, on the warping effects of dishonesty in a marriage when both partners come from very different social backgrounds, and on the frustrating culs-de-sac of French bureaucracy and law. The ending explodes in completely unexpected violence–which will divide opinion–but I think it's a brave authorial choice. Also, it's impossible to put down.
Currently reading: Memories of the Future, by Siri Hustvedt, the only autofiction I've read that, so far, isn't making me obscurely want to punch someone.
Posted on February 25, 2019 by Elle	13
A Woman Looking at Men Looking at Women, by Siri Hustvedt: A magisterial collection of essays on perception, gender relations, and painting, amongst other things. Hustvedt has had a lively interest in the mind for many years; she introduces the book as a series of attempts to resolve (and thereby reject) CP Snow's "two cultures" dichotomy. The first section–mostly cultural criticism, including essays on Pina Bausch and Knausgaard–doesn't require much specialist knowledge. The second and third, which focus more heavily on neuroscience, particularly on what's known as "the mind-body problem", require concentration. By no means an easy book, but one that has made me think and will reward rereading.
The Five, by Hallie Rubenhold: This group biography of the "canonical five" women presumed to have been killed by the same person–known to history as Jack the Ripper–in 1888 is long overdue. Rubenhold gives each woman her own section, exploding sensationalist myths and prejudices with every word. Only one of the five, for instance, was employed as a sex worker; only one (the same one) was under twenty-five. More significant are the facts that the majority were alcoholics, and separated from a husband. Compassionate and unsentimental, Rubenhold's description of the trajectories of their lives makes the similarities between these women and the homeless population of modern London painfully clear. I've written a longer piece on this here.
The Library Book, by Susan Orlean: Orlean's been a staff writer on The New Yorker for over twenty-five years, which explains why this book reads so much like an extended New Yorker article (and even makes reference to one that I've found haunting since first reading it, about maybe-falsely-convicted-of-arson Cameron Todd Willingham). That's not necessarily bad, but The Library Book tries to do a lot simultaneously: provide a history of the LA Public Library, be a series of profiles on the people who work there now, and investigate the fire that destroyed half the collection in 1986. It's engaging, but its sense of purpose often falters.
Dark Eden, by Chris Beckett: Managed to completely forget that I read this over the weekend, which isn't to say it's unmemorable. The prose is intentionally limited (mostly); to emphasize or intensify, a word is repeated (so we get a lot of "cold cold" and "big big"). It's Beckett's reflection of a society that has developed on an exoplanet and descended from only two people, a criminal who crashlanded a stolen ship there and the policewoman who followed him and chose to remain on the planet instead of facing probable death in an attempt to return to Earth. Theologically and sociologically, Beckett's created something fascinating, but the emphasis on innate masculine innovativeness and drive leaves a slightly unpleasant aftertaste.
Lanny, by Max Porter: I'm not disputing that Porter writes well. His first novel, Grief Is the Thing With Feathers, was a linguistic knockout, and an emotional one as a direct result of that expressiveness. Lanny convinces me a little bit less–it's a story about a strange, ethereal boy whose parents have moved the family to a commuter village in the Home Counties, and who catches the attention of the village's resident guardian spirit/Green Man archetype, known in legend as Dead Papa Toothwort. The central section, driven by a frantic search for missing Lanny, is gripping and terrifying reading, but I'm not sure what the ultimate purpose or thesis of the book is. The countryside is brutal and weird? Strange children usually turn out fine?
Currently reading: I'm about to start Nick Coleman's Voices, a compilation of essays about famous musicians (Billie Holiday, Janis Joplin, Mick Jagger and my beloved Joni Mitchell among them).
A Monthly Book, #2: The Five
The first thing to know about The Five is that it is a book defined by its approach; the second thing is that the approach is long overdue. The facts are these: in the late summer and autumn of 1888, from the end of August to November, five women were murdered in London's Whitechapel neighbourhood. They appeared to have been killed in the same way, and presumably by the same person. That person was never caught, but the persona that solidified around him (though, of course, we can't know for sure that he was a him) goes by the name "Jack the Ripper". Victorian society and 21st-century society both possess an unhealthy obsession with the sickening minutiae of Jack's crimes–the way in which he physically mutilated the women he killed, and the almost supernatural ease with which he seemed to vanish into the gas-lit, fog-bound metropolis. Of the people he murdered, the most that any story about them seems to agree on is that they were sex workers. That "fact" (which is not true) has obscured both the actual lives they lived, and the reality of their murders: that they were not nubile doxies hanging about on street corners with artfully tousled Helena Bonham-Carter hair, but rather were overwhelmingly middle-aged, alcoholic, homeless women whose primary failing was to have been left bereft, in one way or another, of the male protection without which a nineteenth-century woman was considered functionally worthless.
Hallie Rubenhold is redressing the balance. The Five is a group biography; each of the women considered "canonical" victims of the Ripper murders is given a section of her own, which consists of three to four chapters that trace her life history from birth to the night she died. The most deliberate structural choice in the book is that Rubenhold never describes a murder. She's writing with an agenda about which she is not remotely ashamed: women who are murdered are more than the story of their deaths. Starting with what can be determined about each woman's early life–her parents, her place of birth, her place in the social hierarchy–she uses a sometimes scanty primary source record, bolstered with intelligently chosen secondary sources that provide contextual information about the experience of working-class life in late nineteenth-century England. Inevitably, she is forced to engage in a certain amount of speculation: in the absence of CCTV or diaries from the women themselves, it's often difficult to know why they moved house, for instance, or whether the name that appears in parish records is the right one. But she has an excellent capacity for triangulation: she frequently uses that aforementioned historical context in conjunction with a primary source to arrive at a conclusion of what is overwhelmingly likely about a particular woman's life, and it is convincing.
The most patently false "fact" about the canonical five is that they were all sex workers (or, as Rubenhold writes throughout the book, "prostitutes"; I assume this is for historical continuity and she is using the word as it was deployed in police reports). There is no evidence that four out of the five women were professional sellers of sex. (The fifth, Mary Jane Kelly, who did work both in a brothel and freelance, is the one about whom we know the least.) However, every single one of them is known to have struggled with alcohol addiction. Mostly, drinking problems and the resultant financial strain were responsible for the implosion of their marriages or common-law relationships. They were all–again, except for Mary Jane Kelly–murdered outside, in the middle of the night. The unbearably sad conclusion is that their killer was targeting, not youthful sex workers who were lying down to ply their trade, but middle-aged homeless women who were lying down because they were asleep. Rubenhold makes it terribly clear that being a woman "outside" conventional societal roles–a woman separated from her husband or widowed, an addict, a beggar–was conflated, often fatally, with being a woman of loose morals. No distinction was made between the broken and the fallen. Not only is The Five a lucid and frankly addictive group biography (the pages really do turn themselves); it also makes painfully clear that a country whose social welfare programs are limited to the application of shame, humiliation, and a rigid code of so-called morality is not a country anyone ought to wish to return to. (I, like Rubenhold, will leave you to infer the contemporary political resonance.)
It is, in short, an excellent book as well as a much-needed one: it mingles true crime and well-researched history with narrative energy and Rubenhold's ever-present passion for her subject. It's going to do well without my help, but you really should read it.

Reading Diary: Feb. 5-Feb. 11
The Warlow Experiment, by Alix Nathan: Nathan's novel is based on a true story: in 1793, a Mr. Powyss offered £50 a year for life to any man who would undertake to live in solitary confinement underground for seven years, without cutting his nails, hair, or beard, keeping a journal of his thoughts. The advertisement was answered by one man, a labourer with a wife and a large number of children. Nathan skillfully integrates the class upheaval occurring in England at the time, and the voice of John Warlow, the semi-literate ploughman who takes up the offer, is poignantly and viscerally rendered. Out in July and not to be missed.
In the Full Light of the Sun, by Clare Clark: Clark's enormous but addictive new novel fictionalizes an art-world scandal that rocked 1930s Berlin regarding the authenticity (or not) of several dozen recently discovered Van Gogh paintings. Clark's three point-of-view characters are Emmeline, an aspiring young artist; Julius, an art historian whose reputation is on the line; and Frank, a Jewish defense lawyer. The plot is over-complicated–there are too many names to remember and not enough clarity regarding the details of the fraud–but Clark's most memorable character, the charismatic and manipulative art dealer Matthias Rachmann, is a real success.
Currently reading: A Woman Looking at Men Looking at Women, by Siri Hustvedt (a brilliant collection of essays on the mind-body problem, art, and gender relations; she's one of the most intelligent writers I know), and Dark Eden, by Chris Beckett (which makes an interesting counter-read to the Hustvedt, given that it's a Clarke Award-winning science fiction planetary romance/exploration drama which also partakes of alarming gender essentialism).

Reading Diary: Jan 29-Feb. 4
A Time to Keep Silence, by Patrick Leigh Fermor: A very short (95 pages) collection of three essays about monasteries and the monastic life. Leigh Fermor stayed at St Wandrille, Solesmes and La Grande Trappe, as well as spending time looking at the ruins of the Cappadocian rock monasteries. The first two essays, set in the three French foundations, are the strongest, describing what it's like to live in solitude for a spiritual purpose; though Leigh Fermor has no faith, he acclimatizes to the silence and misses it when he returns to the world. If your mind needs calming, these pieces may help.
The Wolf Border, by Sarah Hall: There are people who might say, I suppose, that the final quarter of this book is too slow, or that Hall's writing about the Lake District seasons, weather and light are too deliberate and descriptive, but I'm never going to be one of those people, because I think she writes like a dream and this is one of my favourite books of all time. I also think that here, some of her previous thematic interests–motherhood, the cycle of birth and death, the natural world and how humans live both in- and outside of it–coalesce in their most sophisticated form yet. An excellent book to read if you need reminding of how well it is possible to write.
I must be living twice: new and selected poems, by Eileen Myles: Myles's poetry is quite different from Rich's; her lines are short and jagged, often only three or four words each. Her style of thought is discursive: I often feel lost, reading her, until a vivid observation or connection jumps out. "Peanut Butter" is the poem that brought me to Myles, but the sweary dismissiveness of "On the Death of Robert Lowell" makes me laugh; "Yellow Tulips" is unashamedly happy; the opening of "Mal Maison" is devastating. "And Then the Weather Arrives" is maybe peak Myles: it feels like it's written in a sort of personal code, but you understand the emotions, if not the details.
What I Loved, by Siri Hustvedt: A totally brilliant book, following the friendship between two men–painter Bill and art historian Leo–and the intertwining of the lives of their families, including Leo's wife, Bill's first and second wives, and their two sons: Leo's Matthew, and Bill's Mark. The first half of the book, roughly, deals with the older generation, and the second half with the younger; without any spoilers, Matthew and Mark's lives turn out very differently. Hustvedt excels at describing the destructive self-delusion of a certain kind of art world denizen. The novel is both intellectual and terrifying; I found it hard to sleep after finishing it and know it'll continue to haunt me.
The Wild Iris, by Louise Gluck: The next installment in my quest for more poetry. Someone recommended Gluck to me years ago, but it's taken me this long to read her. I am not sure that I grasp or love her yet. There's passion in these poems, but it feels like the highly personal and focused passion of a nun; not that it's anti- or asexual, but that it insists upon the numinous. Does that sound pretentious? It shouldn't; most of the poems are quite explicitly earthbound, being either from the point of view of a plant or flower (metaphors, I think, for human life), or from a higher point of view that is still occupying itself with earthly things. Curious and transcendent.
Currently reading: I've just finished Alix Nathan's forthcoming The Warlow Experiment.
