Broom Fisheries Sunday Open 21st October.
8 anglers turned up today to fish the open. So kept it friendly and had 2 sections of four.
Most anglers set up the tip as the main attack for the day due to the wind. However as soon as the all in was shouted the wind dropped dramatically. There was the odd shower throughout the day, but all in all, a really pleasant day to be out.
I won section 1 on the end peg culvert flier as John Williamson called it, everyone else knows it as peg 20. I fished on open-ended feeder all day with groundbait and maggots for a mixed bag weighing 33lb 4oz. Second in the section was John Williamson with 20lb 12oz from peg 21, mostly caught on the bomb, he did have a few chucks on the pellet waggler, fish were happy to take the loose feed but not the hook bait.
Section 2 was won with a fantastic mixed bag weighing 58lb 4oz caught from peg 26 by Simon Heyes. Who was proudly showing off his new box. Simon caught mostly on the bomb switching between pellet and bread. Second in the section from peg 25 was Don Lines who weighed in 47lb 4oz switching between the pole and feeder. Myles Watt had a fantastic net of silvers caught in the last 2 hours on the pole for 26lb 4oz from peg 28.
Great laugh today and some good weights.
Open again next week please visit main Broom website to register. High pressure this week so should be a good match next Sunday.

Different approaches and common knowledge about solving how to do parallel testing.

### Cookbook example: How to use pabot to distribute testing to multiple remote machines

Basic idea:

  - Run remote library servers on the remote machines
  - Use pabotlib with a resource file to share the IP addresses of the remote machines
  - On a suite setup and teardown use PabotLib.Aquire Value Set, Get Value From Set and PabotLib.Release Value Set to set a specific suite to be executed with a specific remote machine (for example set the host ip to a global variable and use it in the Remote library import)

After veteran actors Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra recreated a scene out of their iconic film "Sholay" on a TV show, superstars Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan relived a "Karan Arjun" moment during a special episode of "Bigg Boss Nau". SRK and Salman shot for a promo as a build up to the episode in "Karan Arjun" style.
The two actors appeared on stage, which was made into a dramatic set of a temple with bells swaying behind them. The superstars were also seen reminiscing their good old days while often breaking into peals of laughter whenever the actress Rakhi's popular dialogue "Mere Karan Arjun aaenge" (My Karan Arjun will come) from the 1995 film was played, read a statement. They shared light-hearted moments wherein "Bigg Boss Nau" host Salman said he hasn't forgotten the things that went wrong between them, while Shah Rukh quipped that "Dosti mein 19-20 toh chalti rehti hai" (Ups and downs happen in friendships). The duo will soon be seen in a forthcoming episode of the Colors show. SRK came on the show to promote his forthcoming film "Dilwale".
"Bigg Boss Nau" features celebrity contestants in a game of survival wherein they are locked in an isolated house for around three months sans the luxuries they are used to, under 24X7 camera surveillance.

Tox21 tools promoted at UC Davis meeting
By Virginia Guidry
Reprinted from Environmental Factor, July 2015
A delegation of scientists from NIEHS and the National Toxicology Program (NTP) promoted high throughput screening tools at a meeting June 18-19 at the University of California, Davis. Led by NIEHS and NTP Director Linda Birnbaum, Ph.D., they joined a number of high-profile NIEHS grantees (see text box), discussing use of the innovative methods for identifying environmental toxicants.
The event, "Elucidating Environmental Dimensions of Neurological Disorders and Diseases: Understanding New Tools from Federal Chemical Testing Programs," was organized by the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) in partnership with NIEHS, NTP, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
"The overall goal was to introduce these tools to researchers who might not be familiar with them," said Kris Thayer, Ph.D., NTP deputy director for analysis.
Faster testing for toxic effects
The Tox21 program, a collaboration involving NTP, EPA, National Institutes of Health Chemical Genomics Center, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, uses high throughput screening to research and test chemicals of toxicological concern. The automated approach provides a rapid and low cost method of systematically testing the impacts of many chemical compounds at varying concentrations on cells and model tissues.

Birnbaum outlined three main goals of Tox21:
Prioritize chemicals needing further study
Identify mechanisms contributing to toxicity
Develop models to test biological response in humans
After potential toxicants are identified, toxicologists can use observational studies and systems biology approaches to explore how dose and timing of exposure contribute to toxicity.
Putting HTS into action
In addition to background from Birnbaum and NTP Associate Director John Bucher, Ph.D., presenters described HTS assays in detail and lessons learned by researchers thus far. Some attendees also participated in what organizers described as genius bars, where they received step-by-step instructions on accessing Tox21 tools. Instructors included experienced researchers such as NTP molecular toxicologist Scott Auerbach, Ph.D., and Nisha Sipes, Ph.D., of the NTP Biomolecular Screening Branch.
To encourage junior researchers to learn about and use the HTS tools, NTP provided eight travel awards to basic scientists outside of the federal government. One of the awardees, Merja Jaronen, Ph.D., research fellow at Brigham and Women´s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, remarked, "I am about to test some of the compounds in a zebrafish model of neurodegeneration, and it was extremely interesting, as well as valuable, to learn about the databases and see how other people have benefited from these tools."
Providing resources and moving forward
Another hallmark of Tox21 is that the data are available to researchers in publicly available databases, with multiple search capabilities. For example, NTP provides a library of compounds that impact neural cells. "The 80 compounds include known developmental neurotoxicants as well as chemicals of environmental interest, such as flame retardants and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons," Birnbaum said.
A number of new developments are on the horizon for Tox21. Researchers plan to increase the use of normal human cells in testing. There is emphasis on measuring impacts on messenger ribonucleic acids (RNA), also called transcriptomics, because of RNA's role in transcribing genetic information for protein synthesis.
The goal is to select more than 1,500 sentinel human genes that have full pathway coverage and can predict the gene expression of the rest of the transcriptome with high accuracy, dubbed the Human S1500 Gene Set, for use in HTS. To parallel the 1500 sentinel human genes (S1500), a mouse S1500 and a zebrafish S1500 are also under development.

A lot of people believe that sugar is great flower food, but it isn't. The same goes for lemonade. It's only an extra source of bacteria which you want your flowers to stay away from. Just stick with cut flower food provided with your bouquet. This contains every nutrient that your flowers need.
Although bleach stops the growth of bacteria and helps with damaged stems people generally use too much of it. Only a tiny drop is enough but it's best to stay away from bleach. The flower food provided with your bouquet contains enough to help keep any bacteria at bay.
I cringe whenever I hear this one. This is 100% a myth and a definite no no. By bashing the stems you are actually damaging the stem cells which prevents the flowers from absorbing all the nutrients and water. What you should do with all flowers is use a very sharp knife or scissors and cut the stems at a sharp angle thereby increasing the surface area which helps the flower drink.
We all love a bit of sun and warmth. Me in particular! Flowers do too but placing them in sun speeds up the opening time of the flowers which shortens their vase life. Flowers kept in the cool last a lot lot longer. My closest friend keeps her flowers in the front hall and they last at least a month. And I've known customers place the flowers outside in the porch over night and bring them in again during the day. Just not recommended if there is frost in the air!
This is partially true. It's best to remove all leaves that would end up below the water line in a vase. By doing this you will prevent rotting and extra bacteria in the water. But keep the rest of the leaves and thorns on. The leaves will improve the water uptake and make your bouquet look nicer (with the exception of contemporary designs). If you cut off the thorns you create little wounds which will contaminate the vase water.
Copper does have anti-bacterial properties but copper pennies don't dissolve in water. So adding pennies to the water does not have any positive effects on the vase life of the flowers. Because pennies and other coins contain a lot of bacteria it will actually have a negative effect on the vase life.
1. Our bouquets generally come in a bubble of water in a box. You can keep your bouquet in the presentation box if you wish but we would recommend only for a couple of days. By then the water level could be very low and it will need replacing with clean fresh water.
2. Use the cut flower food provided with your bouquet. Our sachets contain enough for 1 litre of water. Use a clean vase and clean tap water.
3. Remove the flowers from the box and hold over a sink while you remove the bubble of water. You can keep the rest of the packaging if you wish but we would recommend you remove this too to allow the flowers to breath and air to circulate.
4. Re-cut the stems with a sharp knife or sharp pair of scissors. Cut the stems on an angle. By using blunt scissors you will actually be strangling your flowers! This is because you will be blocking their cells and uptake of water will be restricted.
5. Completely change the water every couple of days and add more flower food. If you don't have any spare in your cupboard please call into the shop and we'll give you more. We care about our flowers!
6. Keep the flowers away from the fruit bowl. Ethylene gas is released by fruit, especially bananas, which in turn ages your flowers at a faster rate.
If you follow these easy rules you should be able to enjoy your flowers for a week or two. Sometimes more!

Inspired by the taste of Kerala, this a fantastic, low-calorie version of a fish curry. Suitable for use with any white fish you receive in you Fishbox!
Place all your rice noodles in a deep mixing bowl, trying to snap as few of them as possible when you remove them from the package.
Bring a good amount of water to boil.
Pour the boiling water over the rice noodles until they are completely submerged.
Every minute or two, give the noodles a stir to loosen them up.
When they are completely limp, give them a taste to see if they're cooked through. Pay attention and test the noodles frequently because they'll become mushy if they overcook.
Finely slice the onion, chilli, garlic and tomatoes.
Dice the fish into goujon sized pieces.
Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large heavy-based pan over a medium-high heat.
Cook the coriander, cumin and turmeric for 3 minutes then remove from the heat.
In another pan, heat the remaining oil over a medium to low heat.
Cook the onion, pepper, chilli, tomato and garlic, stirring regularly until it forms a rough paste.
Add the cooked spices and mix.
Bring to the boil, reduce the temperature, and simmer for approximately 2 minutes.
Add the fish and cook for a further 5 minutes, or until the fish starts to flake.
Serve with the noodles and enjoy.


I am usually sceptical of bean bag chairs – they aren't high enough for me to use in my office, not to mention that they aren't very spacious, so I don't feel as comfortable as initially expected. The idea that a bean bag could be used as a gaming chair seemed laughable to me, but much to my astonishment, the i-eX Gaming Chair was up to the par.
Despite being a bean bag chair, it provides just the right amount of space to feel comfortable, plus it has excellent back and neck support, which is a definite benefit for the avid gamer, like me.
I'll be talking about my experience using the i-eX Gaming Chair below.
I was very pleasantly surprised with the design of the i-eX Gaming Chair – except for the seat, the design is nothing similar to the bean bags that I've used in the past. The back of the chair is significantly higher than the seat, slightly bending outwards, which offers great support for your neck and back, unlike the average bean bag.
The seat is perfectly designed to let your body naturally find that gaming sweet spot, the position that provides ultimate comfort holding a console controller for hours. The sides of the chair are slightly higher than the seat, which allowed my elbows to sit very comfortably, taking the strain out of my arms.
For the first hours of using the i-eX Gaming Chair, I was extremely satisfied. I dropped out burns onto it for several hours, but never once did I squirm for a better position. And since the seat is extremely spacious, I am sure that it will conveniently accommodate every gamer without even the slightest issue.
The chair is covered with luxury faux leather, which is quite thick and not as prone to damage. Again, Toby wasn't able to puncture the cover with his claws, which clearly shows that the chair will last for quite some time. It seemed very solid, and for just £64.99, it certainly was a great deal!
In terms of cons, there isn't much I can say about the i-eX Gaming Chair. When I first opened the box it came in, I noticed that the faux leather had a chemical smell, just as if it was a cheaply made chair. Even after several months of use, the smell didn't go away. I used a fancy chemical product to carefully wipe off dirt, and that seemed to help a little, as the chair didn't smell as much.
I also noticed that the upper part of the chair wasn't completely filled, which kind of defeated the purpose it was designed for: to offer good neck support. I was comfortable anyway, so I don't complain – although a little more filling would have been significantly better.
I was very pleased with how the i-eX Gaming Chair performed in general. It certainly has a very unique design that keeps you comfortable, and the quality of the materials is unquestionable. I haven't tried gaming 24 hours to verify their claims, but I'm sure that the chair can do well, and I strongly recommend that you buy it for yourself as a gift if you're hunting for a truly comfortable gaming chair to sit in.
Your review has given me peace of mind that I have made the right choice.

Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. The purpose of cancer prevention is to reduce the probability of death by cancer. Cancer prevention occurs by avoiding risk factors and by early detection. Cancer prevention can be categorized as Primary or Secondary. Primary prevention includes avoiding of risk factors, such as smoking, obesity, lack of exercise, and radiation exposure, as well as increasing protective factors, such as regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, having a healthy diet, and using sun protection. Secondary prevention includes detecting the cancer early to arrest its progress and reduce its consequences once established.
The literature on cancer prevention could fill a library. For early researchers interested in both primary and secondary prevention of cancer or public health specialists, policy analysts, and health care administrators and providers, the following are good information sources. Adami, et al. 2008 provides succinct overviews of the epidemiology and primary prevention for most types of cancer, while Curry, et al. 2003 reviews the scientific evidence on cancer prevention and early detection, offering specific and wide-ranging recommendations. Colditz and Hunter 2000 provide useful summaries of relevant literature, extensive reference lists at the end of each chapter, and recommended readings. Alberts and Hess 2005, on the status of practice and research in cancer prevention and control, is another essential reference text for anyone interested in cancer prevention, including primary-care practitioners and oncologists, as it provides practice guidelines and discusses future research directions. For global perspectives, the World Cancer Research Fund and American Institute for Cancer Research's Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity, and the Prevention of Cancer: A Global Perspective is an expert report, the largest of its kind ever done to date. The report also provides a complete bibliography and presentation of the review of over 7,000 large-scale studies on diet, physical activity, and weight, and their effect on the risk for seventeen different types of cancer. Further systematic literature reviews were commissioned to underpin policy recommendations, and this was published as the Policy and Action for Cancer Prevention report, which presents recommendations of rational policies and effective actions at all levels, to achieve the public health goals set forth in the 2007 report. The World Health Organization also has a series of six modules advising on how to advocate, plan, and implement effective cancer control programs, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Although they are aimed at program managers and policymakers, these modules (especially "Prevention"; see World Health Organization 2007) are great sources of information for anyone interested in cancer control.

Researchers bulldoze desert to learn how sand dunes form
by Bob Yirka , Phys.org

(Phys.org) —A team made up of members from research facilities in France and China has found that theoretical models built to describe sand dune formation align very closely with how they actually form in nature. In their paper published in Nature Geoscience, the team describes how they bulldozed a section of desert and then watched as sand dunes formed over a three and a half year period.
Understanding how sand dunes form is difficult—trying to replicate the process in a lab grows unwieldy and models created using computers are difficult to prove correct. For that reason, little is known about how sand dunes actually form—finding out is important for both historical purposes here on Earth, and for better understanding atmospheric conditions on other planets.
To gain a better perspective on how sand dunes form the research team used a bulldozer to flatten three separate parcels of sand covered desert land in Inner Mongolia—one parcel was open allowing wind carried sand to enter, another was not, and the third was covered in gravel. The team set up cameras to record the action as nature took over forming new dunes.
In the part of the desert under study, the team noted that the wind comes primarily from two different directions during different times of the year—sometimes from the west, sometimes from the southeast. The team was curious as to how the differing periods of wind, both of which carried sand, would influence dune formation.
As the team watched over the course of three and a half years, the dunes constantly shifted directional alignment during the early parts of the study, creating dunes that aligned with the wind—moving back and forth as the winds shifted. But as the dunes grew bigger, the team noticed that they began holding onto some of their shape even as the wind shifted. The result was large dune formation alignment that was a result of the average of the two wind directions—in this case, 50 degrees.

In comparing the results of real dune formation with those created on a computer before carrying out their field test, the researchers found a very close match, suggesting theory has been correct all along. More research will have to be done of course on different kinds of dunes, but thus far it appears that computer models created for use in the study of dunes on distant planets are likely very accurate.
Do barchans birth or collide? Two papers have different stories
More information: Emergence of oblique dunes in a landscape-scale experiment, Nature Geoscience (2014) DOI: 10.1038/ngeo2047
Aeolian dunes in many arid environments on Earth are shaped by seasonally varying bimodal wind regimes. However, the dynamics of dune evolution under such wind regimes are difficult to investigate at the time and length scales of laboratory experiments1. These bedforms, in their natural environments2, 3, 4, may also be influenced by unknown initial conditions and a variety of factors such as sediment availability5, vegetation6 and cohesion7. Here we report results from a landscape-scale experiment in which we examine the evolution of bedforms under asymmetric bimodal winds. After flattening an experimental dunefield across 16 hectares of the Tengger Desert in Inner Mongolia, we measured winds and topography from March 2008 to October 2011 to reveal the development of regular dune patterns with a constant wavelength and increasing amplitude. On a seasonal timescale, we show that individual dunes propagate in different directions according to the prevailing wind. We find that the orientation of dune crests is controlled by the combination of the normal contributions of the two dominant winds, with respect to their relative strengths and directions, such that crests form an oblique angle of 50° with the resultant sand flux. Our landscape-scale experiment suggests that the alignment of aeolian dunes can be used to determine wind forcing patterns on the Earth and other planetary bodies.

View Full Version : Ektar 100 8x10 Discontinued?
So, at B&H, it says 8x10 Ektar is discontinued... really?
I have a fridge full of chromes, but I'd like to have negative film available when I want it. What's next to go, 8x10 Portra? Sheesh.
Has Kodak stopped manufacturing 8x10?
I had heard they dont cut 8x10 on a regular basis. Maybe its just a stock going gone and they need to order more (bh).
Canham Cameras, general Kodak special order information (http://www.canhamcameras.com/kodakfilm.html). Kodak is cutting based on demand, and that may mean a group order has to be fulfilled due to low general demand.
If we've learned anything from the last few years of fortnightly announcements by US retailers hailing the discontinuation of some emulsion or other (usually Velvia, almost always wrongly) its that we shouldn't believe anything they say. We also shouldn't mistake a retailer not stocking something, or a regional/national distributor not importing something, with an actual discontinuation.
through the temporary intermissions. 8X10 Ektar seems to get cut rather frequently, and I certainly haven't had any trouble getting it.
BH often mark out of stock products as discontinued. Its a way to make a potential buyer buy something else instead of waiting for it to come back and petentially buying somewhere else... this is old news, and no changes have been made, or you would have known about them, and not from the BH listing.
8x10 Ektar is special order only, and has been for a long time.
B&H will show it in-stock again if and when they choose to place another special order.
Slightly OT, but am I the only one that wants to see Kodak-Alaris package Ektar in something bigger than a 10 sheet box?
This has been standard for all Kodak 8x10 films for a while now. If you search the archives here, you can probably find some discussion of the change when it happened.
Well, it's back in stock. I was wrong. Ha!
when i want to order form b&h, it tells me to order at minimum 30 packages.
no chance to get only 5 ?
a popular product for anything 8x10 color. I don't know if Keith Canham is involved in group orders of this or not, like other 8x10 cuts from Kodak. I'd get involved except that I still have a decent reserve of it in my own freezer.


Roland and Hammond know what Stark is talking of doing. "Stark, this is extremely risky...your going against a tyrannosaurid with mixed traits that give it a bit of everything" says John. "Not to mention the obvious aggression increase; are you sure the suit can take what that Albertosaurus is prepared to dish out" asks Roland.
"Well, you got to remember, guys. It's not called 'Iron-Man' for a reason. The iron suited metal should protect everywhere from a bit from the predator." says Jennifer to both Hammond & Roland.
"I hope so, Jen." <=/ Yoko says to Jennifer.
Stark nodded in Jennifer's statement. Before he turned back to the "suitcase" itself with a small sigh, understanding the risk he is taking & knowing what both Hammond & Roland mean. "I know......I know it's risky. Which is why I only considered this as a last resort. Incase nothing else worked, which I hoped would not be the case.......I only wear the suit only for show. I never use it for combat or as a weapon." he stated to them both. "....But seeing how it is now, I don't think we have any other option. I have to make direct contact with Rezonov to insert the tranquilizer & the dart." he then said. Then, he turned to Roland in order to answer his question. "The suit's able to stay standing after direct fire from a tank shell. I know for a fact that it can withstand any dinosaur attack...I just hope I don't have to use lethal force."
"Neither do I, Stark...neither do I" says John. Roland knows that Hammond takes public safety seriously, but he is aware that John sometimes puts the safety of his dinosaurs over others including himself. "Don't worry John, he will get him" says Roland putting his hand on John's shoulder.
"Yeah, Anthony won't harm Rezonav." <;3 Jennifer says to Hammond, giving him a pat to his back.
Yoko soon walked up to Stark, "You'd better be carefull, Anthony." <=3 she says with a smile.
"You just come back in one piece. & not worry your assitant." <;3 Yoko says, reffering to Jennifer.
"B-Be careful Mr. Stark." <83 Ami soon said with Yoko.
"You'd better come back in once piece." <=3 Jennifer says with a light punch to Stark's shoulder, "I will." <;3 she says.
Stark soon turned around. Back towards the case in which was now sitting upon the nearby table. He knew what had to be done now. He knew what he had to do. Thus, he approached the red, & metallic looking case & took a moment of silence & a deep breath, before making his commands. "JARVIS......Fire it up." he simply said! As the case soon began to display a hand scan & a retinal scan for Stark. Doing both, the suitcase soon responded with JARVIS's own voice!
"->AS YOU WISH, SIR.<-" The AI merely responded! & with that, Stark merely took the case & placed it on the ground. Where he then used his foot to "unlock" the cases mechanism! Revealing what shockingly appeared to be advanced machinery inside! & plates of powerful metal & iron coated in red!
Roland and John stand by to watch Stark suit up to deal with the rampaging Reznov. Meanwhile, the theropod tears apart what is left of the cow below the tower.
The case had finally been opened to reveal Stark's advanced technology inside. Gadgets & metal plates revealing themselves to the others & what appeared to be two handles, attached to two, red gauntlets. Stark leaned down to grab the two handles & soon inserted his hands inside the gauntlets after a twist of the handles & locking them in. The sound of gadgets moving & assembling could soon be heard inside, as Stark then picked up the case towards his chest & his chest piece. The metal & the armor inside soon made contact to his chest & thus locked in place with a "clanging" sound. With armor & gadgets beginning to work & move. Then, after a quick breath, Stark suddenly spread his arms out fully! Thus extending the machinery rapidly & with a loud, sudden clang! For the former "case" had now to be revealed what appeared to be the interior of the famous Iron Man armor! As packed in something as small as a suitcase! After that.....The magic began!
John and Roland watch the "Magic" unfold before them. Stark suits up in his very famous Iron Man suit...so famous, it could even challenge Jurassic Park itself.
Yoko went wide eyed as all this happened before her eyes. It's been quite a while since she's seen Stark's Iron Man armor. But she's never seen this suit before. Jennifer looked on with a smile, seeing the "magic" begin of the Iron Man armor.
Back in the room, Samantha looks on with a worried look. She sighs as she is suddenlly peeped at by a little theropod, wich was Shelby's dinosaur. She looks at the little dinosaur, "Oh hello there little one." she says with a smile & pets the dinosaur on the head, "Is this your dinosaur, Shelby?" she asks.
"Yeah, it is. That's my widdle Speckles. He's a Coelophysis." Shelby said with a wink as she watched her dinosaur, wich was named Speckles, comfort Samantha, enjoying being petted by her as well.
Before the groups very eyes, it was as if Anthony Stark was transforming into a completely different being! Indeed, the technology they were seeing at the works before them was unlike anything in the world! It was as if it could only exist in science fiction. Along his entire body & his limbs, pieces & layers of red armor were being placed & overlapping one another. Some pieces began to connect with other ligements, while others fused & overlapped one another. Covering the advanced tech inside. Sheets of pure, reinforced iron coated with yellow & red were then placed over to make the outer layer. From head to toe, the suit was now beginning to come to life!
John and Roland watch as Stark suits up. All the while, Reznov has finished the carcass and looks around, hear the faint noise of the suit piecing itself together.
Yoko & Jennifer continued to watch Stark's suit peices come all together.
As Samantha petted Speckles, Shelby turns to Simon & comforts him in a hug to cheer him up. Speckles approaches Simon as well, sniffing him.
In a matter of less then a few minutes, Stark was now completely covered in layers upon layers of reinforced, titanium steel plates & armor. The pieces all went together like those of a tremendous puzzle. Soon, the sound of the arc reactor placed in his chest charging up began to be heard, a sign that the suit was now powering up with the chest piece now locked in place. It glowed brightly with a shining light & in the form of a triangle from the suit's chest piece. With his suit now online, Stark took one last look around, seeing everyone witnessing this marvel of technology unfolding & being revealed before their eyes. He made a confident grin to himself......Before the helmet finally clanged & locked shut over his face! The suit had now comed to life.
John and Roland behold the amazing armor of the Iron Man suit. "Now Stark, be aware of your limits please; you may be in the suit, but your still human" says Hammond. "Good luck, my friend". Below them, Reznov now begins to move off while still in a rage filled state.
Yoko looked on as she saw Stark finally come to life as Iron Man!
"Yes, please be carefull, Anthony." Jennifer says to Stark with a look of concern at him.
"I assure you, I'll be fine...May come back with some scratches & bruises but nothing to worry about for me....I'll make it through this." Stark said from inside his Iron Man suit. Then, after he heard Jennifer, he turned to her one last time. "I will....I promise....This wont take long." he then said. Before he finally began to make his way to the exit, with his armored feet clanging.
John and Roland stand on as Stark begins to make his way out. Below everyone, Reznov scans the facility walls with the occasional twitch and saliva dripping from his jaws. He hears a faint noise, but he pays it now mind. If only he knew who was coming for him.

Why Israelis Love To Hate Haneen Zoabi
Knesset Member Haneen Zoabi takes advantage of Israeli democracy and undermines Israel's relations with its Arab citizens, writes Shlomi Eldar.

Many Israelis were overjoyed at last week's [Dec. 19] decision of the Central Elections Committee that disqualified Member Knesset Haneen Zoabi's candidacy for the upcoming Knesset. Others squirmed uncomfortably in their seats but apparently they, too, were not really sorry. What is it about that Balad Israeli-Arab political party Knesset Member that arouses such great antagonism among the Israeli public, and not only from the Right? Why do so many people in Israel love to hate her?
"The problem is not that I am a terrorist," said Zoabi after her disqualification. "Maybe the problem is that I am too democratic. The problem with the Balad movement and the Arab Knesset members is that we are democratic in an atmosphere that does not believe in democracy."
Throughout her political career, Knesset Member Zoabi has not only enraged such Knesset Members as Anastasia Michaeli, who almost physically attacked Zoabi from the Knesset's rostrum, or Miri Regev, who called her derogatory nicknames that are not fit to be printed. Zoabi has also stirred up anger among people who regard democracy as their guiding principle in life.
The clear and immediate reason for this is Zoabi's participation in the Mavi Marmara of the IHH, an Islamic Turkish NGO, that began as a humanitarian-assistance flotilla to Gaza and became a violent, provocative and bloody journey in 2010. Zoabi was viewed as someone who collaborated with Israel's enemies and this, to the Israeli public, is an inexcusable mark of disgrace.
Think about it: an Israeli Arab resident of Nazareth, daughter to a family whose relatives were supporters of the left-wing Israeli political parties Mapam and Mapai, sitting on a boat of the World Jihad movement whose operatives are hitting and abducting IDF Shayetet soldiers, an elite naval commando unit], operatives who try to take control of the ship. And Zoabi watches them from the sidelines without trying to intervene.
What more do we need, say her battery of opponents, in order to stone her, to tar and feather her, or at least kick her out of the Israeli Parliament?
This is the opportunity to introduce my personal point of view on the Marmara affair. A short time before the boat sailed off from Turkey in May 2010, I, an Israeli journalist, received an invitation to join the flotilla. Together with other journalists, I was supposed to add a flavor of international media coverage to the expedition; the news network I worked for also thought that news coverage of the trip would have great journalistic value. However, I had a bad feeling that the whole trip would not end well, so I turned down the offer. I smelled trouble. I did not want to find myself in a conflict between being a journalist and being an Israeli. Nevertheless, I am almost sure that if I would have found myself on the deck of the Marmara, witness to a situation in which one soldier was being pummeled with clubs and a second one thrown off the deck, I would know what course of action to choose.
Zoabi also knew what to choose. I assume that the militant activists who joined the ship and secretly prepared weapons — knives, swords, chains and other such tools — did not show them to her. I also want to believe that if she could have averted the harm to the Shayetet soldiers who were beaten and wounded on the violent struggle on the deck, she would have done so. But she was there, according to the video clips that were publicized, very close to the activists armed with clubs and spoiling for a fight, and she did nothing to stop it.
Thus, Zoabi became persona non grata in the Israeli public.
The sequence of events is well-known: At the end of the battle on the Marmara, nine people were killed, all Turkish citizens. An additional 20 were wounded in the effort to extricate the soldiers who were abducted and imprisoned by them in the bowels of the ship.
It should be emphasized: The Balad Knesset Member did not look for violence. However, unlike the other Arab Knesset Members who were invited to join the boat and politely refused, each for his own reasons, Zoabi looked for provocation. And she certainly found it.
I want to argue that even if Zoabi had not stood on the Marmara deck, the Balad Knesset Member would still be a leading candidate for the title of "enemy of the public." Some of it is connected to the hard-to-digest mixture that she represents to a large portion of the Jewish-Israeli public: woman-Palestinian-feminist, strong-minded and belligerent and so forth. But part is also connected to the path she chose for herself — the path of provocation.
Anyone who tracked Zoabi's statements during her Knesset tenure, may well reach the conclusion that her only mission as Knesset member (in the Israeli Knesset, lest we forget) is to deepen the hatred between Arabs and Jews. Let us also remember that Zoabi was the protégée of former Knesset Member Azmi Bishara, founder of Balad, who fled in 2007 from Israel because he feared being indicted for giving assistance to Hezbollah.
It seems that Zoabi has raised the hatred-motif between Arabs and Jews to an art-form, to the extent that she started to enjoy the spectacle of herself. She said things to irritate and anger others, she enjoyed angering them, to hate and make others hate. She did not understand that she was using a two-edged sword — that she not only caused people to hate only her. Many Jews viewed her, unjustifiably, as representative of the entire Arab public in Israel. This caused the deepening of the already-deep gap between the two populations.
Zoabi's expressions and statements stopped being the gimmick of a politician attempting to justify her existence and arouse attention. Instead, they became dangerous, destructive acts against the very delicate texture of Jewish-Arab relations.
True, there are those who will argue that all the governments of the State of Israel did everything they could to discriminate against Israeli-Arabs. No one disputes this. But instead of fighting the unjust discrimination faced by Israeli Arabs outside the Knesset and inside it, instead of taking advantage of the democracy she is part of to right the wrongs — Zoabi rather exploited the Israeli democracy to defy the foundations on which the State of Israel was built, the country that is her country as well.
Do you want an example? In the foreword to British author Ben White's book, Palestinians in Israel: Segregation, Discrimination and Democracy, Zoabi writes the following: "Following 50 years of political experiments, Israel's Arabs have grasped the power inherent in democracy and aim to undermine the moral and political legitimacy of the Zionist enterprise, reducing it to the status of a colonialist and racist project." In other words, as a citizen elected by the Arab public to be its representative, Zoabi comes to destroy and not to build.
It is permissible, understood and legitimate that Israeli Arabs feel, and express, opposition to the Zionist enterprise. But Zoabi, who has tasted from the fruits of the enterprise — she studied in Israeli universities, fruits of the Zionist enterprise; and she receives a proper salary as a member of Israel's Knesset that was erected as a consequence of the Zionist enterprise — aspires to destroy that same enterprise.
Another example? In the protest march in Hebron and Jerusalem in March 2010, as part of the events organized by the High Follow-Up Committee for Arab Citizens of Israel under the banner of "Day of anger against the occupation and Israel's Judaization policy," Zoabi identified Israeli policy with "ethnic cleansing" and afterwards called on the Palestinians to begin a third Intifada.
In doing so, Zoabi crossed all the red lines. This is incitement. Imagine if a right-wing Knesset member called on the Jews to carry out an Intifada against the Arabs.
So what is the difference between Knesset Member Haneen Zoabi and Israeli-Arab Knesset Member Ahmad Tibi? There are those who argue that Tibi is also not worthy of sitting in the Israeli Knesset.
It is true that Tibi has angered many people with his efforts over recent years to define himself as advisor to the Palestinian Authority's chairman, even to fly with Palestinian President Abu Mazen as a member of the Palestinian delegation to the United Nations General Assembly. And this anger has a certain amount of justification.
Think about the following scenario in a different place, a different country, in the cradle of democracy: a member of Congress gives advice to Russian President Vladimir Putin against United States politics or advises Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on how to deceive the world in hiding his nuclear project. And imagine an American congressman saying openly that he understands the power concealed in American democracy in order to take action against the American constitution. What would they say about him?
Despite all the above, Ahmad Tibi — in contrast to Zoabi — does not attempt to exploit the Israeli democracy that allows him to sit in the Knesset, in order to destroy it. Tibi (even when he fumes against defense correspondent Roni Daniel's style) does not forget for a minute that despite it all, he is Israeli. An Arab Knesset Member, a discriminated-against minority member, but an Israeli nonetheless.
Tibi, again, in contrast to Zoabi, clearly knows where the lines are drawn separating criticism from incitement, between things that may be said — flagrant and harsh as they may be — from words and expressions that might depict him as a fifth column. Therefore, even right-wing Knesset members did not place the political gallows before Ahmad Tibi, as they did to Zoabi.
It is possible that the High Court of Justice may invalidate Zoabi's disqualification, thus allowing Zoabi to be a candidate for the 19th Knesset. But the ones who will have to judge her — her acts, but her words even more — are the Israeli Arabs. They will have to ask themselves: Has the Balad Knesset Member contributed to improving their circumstances as a minority (an oppressed minority, to a certain extent) in the State of Israel? Has she reduced the discrimination between them and the Jewish public? Or has she, perhaps, deepened the rift and the hatred between the two nations living in Israel?
The most surprising thing is that not only the Jewish public in Israel "loves to hate" Zoabi. It seems that the Arab public is not really in favor of her either. Pay attention: Except for the few obligatory condemnations of Arab Knesset Members, we do not sense any anger among the Arab citizens of Israel in the wake of the disqualification. There are no protest demonstrations, no identification rallies, no one waves a sign saying, "We are all Haneen Zoabi." It is not as if the Arab public does not know how to organize and protest on the streets when something is really important to it.
In the case of Knesset Member Zoabi, it seems that no one is trying too hard. Because the Israeli-Arabs also understand how great was the damage inflicted by Zoabi on the fabric of the already-fragile relationship between Arabs and Jews in Israel.

One of the signature concerns of Transhumanism is the desire to develop technologies that will radically extend the human lifespan. For example, Nick Bostrom, in his essay "Transhumanist Values," argues that human beings are "missing out on something important by our tendency to die early" (3). In his view, the current human life expectancy prevents individuals from achieving their full potential, whereas an extended lifespan would provide increased opportunities for human fulfillment. A similar goal has been championed by some Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, who are investing billions of dollars in research that will increase the number of "quality-adjusted life years" that they hope to enjoy (Tad Friend, "Silicon Valley's Quest to Live Forever," 1).
A radically different perspective on the quest for longevity is offered by Allison Arieff, in her New York Times article, "Life is Short. That's the Point" (posted on Moodle). Against Bostrom and other transhumanists, Arieff argues that it is "an awareness and acceptance of our own mortality" that makes us human and that provides the impetus for "living our lives to the fullest." In this respect, her argument can be considered a "humanistic" counterargument to transhumanism.
Write a carefully argued 1500-2000 word essay in which you offer a critical assessment of the arguments of Bostrom and Arieff. Your essay should answer the following question: What is the underlying image, metaphor, or picture of the human condition that animates Bostrom and Arieff's divergent perspectives on the quest for human longevity? In responding to this question, your essay should: 1) situate each of the authors' perspectives within the larger context of their transhumanist and humanist philosophies, drawing on relevant course readings to do so; 2) evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of their perspective on human longevity. Which of the author's perspectives do you find most persuasive as a picture of the human condition, and why?
In composing your essay, please remember to formulate a thesis statement that responds to the assignment prompt. Then structure your paper in a way that builds support for your thesis, and be sure to support your argument with evidence from the texts.
Savulescu does not consider himself a "transhumanist." Rather, he situates his support of human biological enhancement squarely within the tradition of liberal humanism, with its emphasis on the individual's freedom "to construct and act on our own conception of what is the best life for us" (within certain constraints outlined in his eight criteria for "ethical enhancement"). However, in his concern to extend the range of human freedom and human flourishing via technology, Savulescu shares at least some of the same values as transhumanism.
Write a carefully argued 1500-2000 word essay in which you critically analyze Savulescu's argument from the perspective either of humanism or transhumanism. How would a humanist author such as William Schweiker or Brent Waters critically assess Savulescu's vision of the human good and the role of technology in bringing it about? What objections or counterarguments would either Schweiker or Waters raise to Savulescu's humanistic vision? Alternatively, would a transhumanist author like Nick Bostrom consider Savulescu an ally in his promotion of transhumanism? In what ways would Bostrom agree with Savulescu's vision of the human and in what would ways would he disagree? Be specific.

Ewald Vogtherr (* 2. November 1859 in Landeshut, Niederschlesien; † 13. Februar 1923 in Berlin) war ein deutscher sozialdemokratischer Politiker, Reichstagsmitglied (1893–1898, 1912 und seit 1920) und Staatsminister für Justiz im Freistaat Braunschweig (1922–1923).

Leben und Wirken
Vogtherr besuchte die Mittelschule und schloss sie mit der Tertia ab. Anschließend war er bis 1888 Handlungsgehilfe und danach war er selbstständiger Kaufmann in Berlin und Stettin. Ebenfalls 1888 trat Vogtherr der SPD bei. Außerdem war er, wie schon sein Vater, früh für die Freidenkerbewegung aktiv. Im Jahr 1889 war Vogtherr der Festredner bei der ersten großen Jugendweihe in Berlin. In seiner Rede verbreitete er ein monistisches Weltbild und ergänzte dies mit Forderungen nach mehr sozialer Gerechtigkeit. Dem deutschen Reichstag gehörte Vogtherr erstmals von 1893 bis 1898 als Abgeordneter des Wahlkreises Berlin 3 an. Außerdem war er von 1890 bis 6. November 1899 Stadtverordneter in Berlin und von 1901 bis 1906 in Stettin. Seit 1910 war er hauptberuflich Autor in Wernigerode, Dresden und Berlin und schrieb für verschiedene sozialdemokratische Blätter. Außerdem war er Herausgeber von freidenkerischen Zeitschriften. Im Jahr 1912 wurde er erneut Reichstagsmitglied als Abgeordneter des Wahlkreises Stettin 4 (Stadtkreis Stettin). Wegen seiner politischen Ansichten wurde Vogtherr mehrfach zu Gefängnisstrafen verurteilt, zuletzt zu sechs Monaten wegen Majestätsbeleidigung. Von Anfang an war Vogtherr Kritiker der Kriegspolitik der SPD. Er gehörte 1915 der internationalen Zimmerwalder Konferenz von Kriegsgegnern an. Im Jahr 1916 schloss er sich im Reichstag der innerfraktionellen Sozialdemokratischen Arbeitsgemeinschaft und 1917 der USPD an. Während der Novemberrevolution wurde Vogtherr Unterstaatssekretär im Reichsmarineamt. Seit 1920 war Vogtherr erneut Mitglied des Reichstages. Er übernahm 1920 die Chefredaktion des USPD-Zentralorgans, der Arbeiterzeitung Freiheit. Kurze Zeit war er von November 1922 bis zu seinem Tod Staatsminister für Justiz in Braunschweig. Neben seiner politischen Tätigkeit im engeren Sinn war Vogtherr 1919 Vorstandsmitglied der Deutschen Friedensgesellschaft und seit 1914 Vorstandsmitglied des Bundes freireligiöser Gemeinden und des Deutschen Freidenkerverbandes.

Hodiya aur baati hum

Teri mitthi se alag hai meri mitthi o sakhi
Hum milenge toh banegi
Ik murat pyaar ki
Main koi dil ban gaya hoon tum meri dhadkan
Tu sur ke jaisi hai main sabad ke jaisa hoon

Payless vs. Adidas
Difference between Payless and Adidas
Even if you don't know the least bit about athletics, you are probably aware of Adidas. The brand is after all one of the most recognizable in the world, and its distinctive logo has graced TV screens and magazine pages–not to mention shoes, clothes and accessories–for decades. Payless is a much less familiar brand, although it may just have enough merit to stand up to Adidas, as this comparison article shows.

Payless ShoeSource is a footwear retail chain that offers a variety of inexpensively-priced merchandise. Founded by Shaol and Louis Pozez in Kansas in 1956, the store was relaunched as a public company in 1961 called the Volume Shoe Corporation. This company later merged with the May Department Stores Company in 1979.
Adidas is a sportswear manufacturer based in Germany. It is also the parent company of the Adidas Group, which is comprised of a number of sports oriented companies including Reebok, Ashworth, and Rockport.
Payless came to widespread public attention in the 1980s as a retailer of discount shoes under the Pro Wings brand. These sneakers were distinguished by the use of Velcro straps instead of laces. Over the next few decades, the company also introduced various other lines of footwear and sports apparel.
Adidas is of course known all over the world for its sports footwear, but the company also produces an extensive line of clothes and accessories such as bags, shirts, and even watches and eyewear. The company is also heavily focused on producing football equipment, and is in fact responsible for providing clothes and equipment for all Major League Soccer teams.
In June of 2006, Payless launched a new logo that reflected its focus on a more stylish and contemporary look. The new company logo is the result of the first redesign in almost 20 years. In October of 2010, the company signed two franchise deals that were geared towards expanding the company's international markets in 2011. Among the acquisitions that resulted was Grupo Axo, based in Mexico City. As part of the deal, the company planned to open 41 new stores over the following three years, with the eventual goal of opening as many as 300 stores in the long term. Other countries targeted for expansion were Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. In these three countries, as many as 20 new Payless stores will be opened in 2011, with even more to follow in the next few years.
As for Adidas, it is currently the largest manufacturer of sportswear in Europe and the second biggest in the world, second only to U.S. company Nike.

Clearly, What This Controversy Needs Is Another White Person's Thoughts On Racism, And I Am Happy To Oblige
Over on Twitter, the Daily Telegraph columnist Dan Hodges asks a question: has Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, been the target of specifically racist press coverage? Or is it just the double-standards in way the press writes about her, compared to the Duchess of Cambridge, that has led people to conclude that Meghan is the victim of racism?
On the Meghan racism debate – I've got to be honest, I haven't followed the coverage about her until this week. Genuine question, are there any glaring examples of specifically racist articles, (as opposed to a simple aggregation of broadly negative coverage).
— (((Dan Hodges))) (@DPJHodges) January 13, 2020
The answer to the question appears to be 'no' – there has not been any mainstream media coverage or commentary that deploys racist tropes or epithets. Continue reading "Clearly, What This Controversy Needs Is Another White Person's Thoughts On Racism, And I Am Happy To Oblige"
Trans rights: a short case study in how the media spreads misinformation
Here's an interesting example of how misinformation spreads through subtle misrepresentation of the facts.
'Party refuses to let 'gender-critical' woman join' reports The Times (£):
The Liberal Democrats have told a "gender non-conforming" woman who does not accept that humans can change sex to join another party.
This is accurate. The woman in question wrote an email to the Liberal Democrat's, describing her views on transgender people and stating "I do not believe people can change biological sex."
Someone from the Liberal Democrats responded. They recognised that the woman's views on transgenderism were at odds with party policy, and politely told her she would be better off elsewhere. Continue reading "Trans rights: a short case study in how the media spreads misinformation"
Let's rebrand the #PeoplesVote as 'The Cummings Plan'
In 2016, Barack Obama nominated Merrick Garland to the United States Supreme Court. In a historical break with precedent, the Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) refused to confirm Garland to the Court, or even hold the traditional confirmation hearings.
In doing so, he dredged up a 1992 speech from Joe Biden, who was then a US Senator for Delaware. Back then, Biden had floated the idea that the president (at the time, George H. W. Bush) should wait until after the presidential and congressional elections before appointing a Supreme Court judge. Justifying his inaction in 1992, Senator McConnell cited the 'Biden Rule' in speeches, as if it were an established congressional custom. The seat remained open until after the 2016 presidential election, when Donald Trump nominated Neil Gorsuch instead. Continue reading "Let's rebrand the #PeoplesVote as 'The Cummings Plan'"
The Winston Churchill–Boris Johnson Analogy That No-one Talks About
Yesterday, Boris Johnson met the president of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker. Together they seem to have injected a note of optimism into the Brexit talks. Apparently, Juncker's comment that the precise terms of the Irish 'backstop' are negotiable, so long as all its objectives are met by other means, is a splinter in the EU's otherwise straight bat.
Meanwhile, prominent 'Lexiters' Stephen Kinnock MP and Caroline Flint MP met with E.U. chief negotiator, Michel Barnier. On Newsnight later that evening, Kinnock reminded us that there is a large group of Labour MPs who are eager to vote for a Brexit 'deal'. The same programme also reminded us that the twenty-one Conservative party MPs who lost the whip earlier this month did so because they were opposed to 'No Deal.' They too could vote for a Withdrawl Agreement. Continue reading "The Winston Churchill–Boris Johnson Analogy That No-one Talks About"
"Just Get On With It" – The Laziest Possible Brexit Intervention
A common intervention in the Brexit debate—made by politicians, celebrities and in hoi polloi vox pops up and down the country—is that the British people want the politicians to 'just get on with Brexit.'
Recent proponents of the phrase include David Attenborough and Lord Rose, who previously chaired the Remain campaign.
'Just Get On With It' has a beguiling charm. It's a simple, memorable phrase, and it sounds pragmatic, down-to-earth and a little bit bolshy. That's why so many people repeat it.
But simplicity is not a virtue when we're talking about leaving the EU. 'Just Get On With It' is a solution for those people who either haven't thought about the problem enough, or who do not care about the consequences of a rushed, half-cocked Brexit.
Either way, its an intellectually lazy argument, for many reasons. Let me count the ways… Continue reading ""Just Get On With It" – The Laziest Possible Brexit Intervention"
The 'Whether' and the 'How' of Brexit
Earlier this week, the House of Commons seized control of the parliamentary timetable, and passed its own piece of legislation through the chamber. The House of Lords then passed it without amendments, and the European Union Withdrawl Bill (No. 6) will become law early next week.
The law forces Prime Minister Johnson to ask the European Council for an Article 50 extension, if an exit deal has not been agreed by 19th October (a few days before the scheduled departure on the 31st). It is a way of legally binding the government from proceeding with a No Deal Brexit.
Since then, there has been a constant refrain from supporters of the PM's policy (call them Leavers, or Brexiteers or whatever) that parliament's actions are thwarting the will of the 17.4 million people who voted to leave the EU. The Prime Minister said:
It is a Bill designed to overturn the biggest democratic vote in our history, the 2016 referendum. It is therefore a Bill without precedent in the history of this House, seeking as it does to force the Prime Minister, with a pre-drafted letter, to surrender in international negotiations
The implication here, parroted by people up and down the country, is that 'leaving the EU' is synonymous with the May/Johnson vision of 'hard Brexit.' That is, a 'how' founded on a sheaf of red lines and the threat of No Deal.
Depending on who says this, it may be an uniformed mistake, a 'category error' or a deliberately misleading piece of propaganda. Either way, it's wrong… and it's another thing that needs to be debunked succinctly, over and over again. Continue reading "The 'Whether' and the 'How' of Brexit"
Please Stop Calling Boris 'Unelected'
Ever since Boris Johnson became Prime Minister last month, I've seen countless social media posts by my friends, and people with like-minded political views, branding him an 'unelected' PM.
It's true that Mr Johnson was not leader of the Conservative party at the last General Election in 2017. That was Theresa May.
But under our parliamentary system, that doesn't matter. We don't directly elect a Prime Minister. We elect members of parliament, and those who can agree on enough come together to form the government. Continue reading "Please Stop Calling Boris 'Unelected'"
Press Gazette op-ed on Lachaux and Press Standards
Following the Lachaux case at the Supreme Court earlier this week, I wrote an op-ed for Press Gazette on its implications for free speech and press standards.
Key paragraph:
After a period of uncertainty, the Lachaux judgment returns the section one standard to that applied in Cooke. The publisher's response to a complaint can really make a difference to the "serious harm" assessment.
You can read the entire op-ed on the Press Gazette website.
Citizens of Nowhere: A revisionist history
Yesterday, while blogging about the resignation of Theresa May, I mentioned her infamous 'citizens of nowhere' speech at the Conservative Party conference in 2016.
At the time, those words were seen as a clear attack on the pro-European, pro-EU, 'Remain' cosmopolitanism that many people were expressing after the referendum shock. Mrs May, it was judged, had taken a side in the culture war, and allying herself with a narrow nationalism.
Three years later, that phrase has become a damning shorthand for Theresa May's hostility to migrants.
While writing my earlier blog post, I read the speech. And actually, the context of her 'citizens of nowhere' line is the culmination of an attack on… millionaire tax dodgers. Continue reading "Citizens of Nowhere: A revisionist history"
'People's Vote' and 'Revoke Article 50' have no place in Parliament's Indicative Vote Process
Yesterday, the British Parliament once again 'took back control' of the Brexit process from our hapless government. MPs held another round of indicative votes on what Brexit policy might possibly secure a majority in the House of Commons. Once again a set of motions were tabled, and once again our representatives set about voting Aye or No to those selected.
Yet again, no motion secured a majority.
Other people have commented on how a series of binary votes is probably not the best method for weighing up many competing options. It prompts people to abstain or stick to only their preferred option, in the hopes of hanging-in-there, becoming the last idea standing. A 'single transferable vote' option, where MPs rank the proposals in order of preference, would be better.
But I'm not here for that. Instead, I want to say this: The 'People's Vote' proposal (put forward by Peter Kyle MP) and the 'Revoke Article 50' proposal (tabled by Joanna Cherry MP) should have had no place in the 'indicative vote' process.
Why? Well, for two reasons. First, MPs are still considering how we might leave. What they need to show (to the European Union, to the government, to their colleagues, and to us) is what could plausibly be written into the Political Declaration that accompanies the Withdrawal Agreement, setting out what we hope the end state relationship with the EU will be.
Neither #PeoplesVote or #Revoke are about leaving the EU.
Instead, they are about process. The People's Vote idea is compatible with any of the proposals for leaving the EU. It could be a requirement of Theresa May's thrice rejected deal, Ken Clarke's Customs Union, Nick Boles' Commons Market 2.0, or George Eustice's EFTA/EEA (which wasn't voted on again last night).
Meanwhile, Joanna Cherry's proposal is nothing at all to do with the Political Declaration. It is a sensible insurance policy against No Deal Brexit, saying that if we are in danger of crashing out of the EU then we either approve No Deal, or Revoke Article 50.
So while I think a People's Vote and the Insurance Policy are both desirable, it makes no sense to consider them as options alongside proposals about markets, customs and trade. I actually think that the prospects for both proposals have been damaged by being mis-categorised in this way.
I suppose it doesn't matter now but wasn't the error to have #PeoplesVote and Revoke options alongside options for a deal? They are conceptually different things. Couldn't whoever was running the process have separated them out into separate, maybe later considerations?

Review of Jeff Beck with the Jan Hammer Group live by Hartford Courant 1977
Additional Recordings
TV / Movies / Videogames
Various Information
Written by Martijn
Hartford Courant March 26, 1977
BECK-HAMMER DELIVERS
The possibilities of the Beck-Hammer relationship were hinted at in the album Wired, released last year, in which Hammer wrote and produced one of the key tracks, "Blue Wind," as well as performing on and re-mixing four other tracks.
A subsequent tour in which Beck joined Hammer's group on tour (or Hammer's group joined Beck) and now a live album from the tour have revealed that Beck and Hammer are a perfect pair of kindred spirits musically. Both play and compose with astonishing visceral energy and excitement.
It's worth repeating a conclusion reached after seeing the two in concert: this group is the cutting edge of rock-jazz groups. There are many skilled musicians in the pop field, but for artistic risk taking, with commensurate rewards for the listener, none can equal Beck and Hammer.
It's clear from watching them play on stage and from hearing the vitality come through this album, that they both love the stimulation of the stage. Four of the cuts on the live album are on the two previous Beck albums, Blow By Blow and Wired. But they are, with the exception of "She's A Woman," better live. Throughout, Beck's sensational electric guitar feats are matched in kind by Hammer's frenetic synthesizer work.
"Freeway Jam" (the opening cut) shows Beck in full flash and Hammer picking up where he leaves off. They "honk" at each other electronically and good humoredly at the beginning and end. "Earth (Still Our Only Home)" is a heavy funk piece with a good Hammer vocal. "Darkness/Earth In Search Of A Sun," is a positively brilliant composing and playing opus of Hammer's. "Scatterbrain" evolves from a soft blues into a lightening-fast guitar-synthesizer-violin (Steve Kindler) crescendo. On "Full Moon Boogie," drummer Tony Smith, a powerhouse in his own right does a Stevie Wonderish vocal, leading into more instrumental action. "Blue Wind," the Hammer composed tune from Wired, is every bit as good as the studio version. Beck, ever the joker, works in a heavy riff from Aerosmith's "Train Kept A Rolling" as if to show them how it should be done.
If the mercurial Beck and Hammer can keep it up, the sky's the limit artistically
