BT chooses Juniper Networks to unify services for cloud initiative and 5G future

BT will develop its 5G capabilities further after striking an agreement with Juniper Networks. The network developer will support BT in the delivery of its Network Cloud infrastructure initiative, which will allow various lines of its business on a single platform.
A more flexible, virtualised network infrastructure will allow the biggest British telco to create new converged services for mobile, Wi-Fi, and fixed networks.
It will also bring about a range of new applications that evolve services such as internet access, TV and business network functions.
After EE, BT's subsidiary, launched 5G in the UK on May 22, Guillaume Sampic, enterprise strategy director at BT, said that the benefits of 5G to businesses in terms of latency, speed, reliability and volume will "be a step change" from 4G.
Commenting on the Juniper Networks agreement, Neil McRae, chief architect at BT, said: "BT is a global leader in ultrafast services, with growing demand from our ultrafast broadband services and ultrafast 5G services and has the perfect opportunity to combine several discrete networks into a unified, automated infrastructure.
"This move to a single cloud-driven network infrastructure will enable BT to offer a wider range of services, faster and more efficiently to customers in the UK and around the world."
The Network Cloud infrastructure initiative will integrate seamlessly with BT's other partners and solutions to move it closer to an automated and programmable network, which will benefit services such as ISP, TV, IT and its voice, mobile core, radio access and internal applications.
BT is investing in a range of Juniper solutions across various tenants within the BT network, including a dynamic end-to-end networking policy and control for telco cloud workloads using Contrail Networking, cloud operations management using AppFormix and a scalable and flexible spine and leaf underlay fabric using the QFX Series.
"As a renowned global service provider, BT is a shining example of how to evolve networks to become more agile," said Bikash Koley, CTO, Juniper Networks. "By leveraging the 'beach-front property' it has in central offices around the globe, BT can optimise the business value that 5G's bandwidth and connectivity brings.
"The move to an integrated telco cloud platform brings always-on reliability, along with enhanced automation capabilities, to help improve business continuity and increase time-to-market while doing so in a cost-effective manner."
Capacity recently spoke with Juniper Networks to learn more about its cloud-based SD-WAN solution and how differs from the competition.

Mitchell Robinson's career night against…

Mitchell Robinson's career night against Bucks comes with high praise: 'Phenomenal'

By Tribune News Service
Mitchell Robinson denied he was complaining about his limited offensive role. And on Wednesday night, he played that role to absolute perfection.
Just ask Mike Budenholzer.
"That was one of the more impressive efforts I've seen from an individual on the offensive boards. He was relentless," the Bucks coach said after his team squeaked by the Knicks at MSG, 109-103. "His size, we needed people to help more, we needed more gang rebounding, we were not good enough on the boards. Again, we found a way to win, but Robinson was phenomenal."
In the early morning Wednesday, Robinson tweeted that the Knicks' system is not set up for him to run plays. It was an accurate assessment but, given Robinson's history of publicly yearning for more opportunities, it was easy to interpret as a passive-aggressive grievance about his confinement to the paint.
Robinson then dominated that paint Wednesday night with 20 rebounds — including a career-high 11 offensive boards — while scoring 15 points exclusively in the restricted area and fouling out Giannis Antetokounmpo on a putback attempt.
"That's solid. That's valid. That's not bad," Robinson said. "After the last time we played the [Bucks], I had to come out with a different mindset. Last time we played them, I almost fouled out and I wasn't myself. I had to learn from my mistake last game and I brought it to this game."
Antetokounmpo was typically fantastic with 37 points but acknowledged that Robinson represented a conundrum. The issue for Antetokounmpo was contesting drives from Brunson and Barrett, leaving Brook Lopez alone underneath to get dominated by Robinson for rebounds..
"Mitchell Robinson is so effective, he's so big, 7-1, 7-2, he's able to get the offensive rebound," Antetokounmpo said. "He's almost under there by himself. You're in a hard position and at the end of the day you don't want to suck in so much that you leave open 3s, corner 3s. So you have to deal with it by yourself and today he was able to get a lot of offensive rebounds on me, Brook, Bobby [Portis], but it's basketball. You have to live with it. You cannot stop it. That's what he's good at, and the way we play defense we have to take care of the pick-and-roll and make the ball handler shoot the tough shot, so he's right behind you and he's 7-2. The chance of him getting the rebound is very high."
Wednesday was part of an upward trend from Robinson, who has three consecutive strong outings as he recovers from last month's knee sprain. Still, his tweet from Wednesday morning — which was in response to a suggestion that he practice post-up moves with Amar'e Stoudemire — left the impression he isn't satisfied.
He pushed back on that.
"If I was unhappy, I wouldn't have did what I came out here and did [Wednesday] and the last game?" Robinson said. "I would've just chilled out and just, 'Oh well.'"

A pickup heads up Smugglers Notch from Stowe in this photo from an earlier foliage season.
A full palette of colors are predicted to deck Vermont's hills and valleys this weekend, and the weather will mostly cooperate.
Full-on, peak-foliage fans might consider flocking to Essex County, in the state's northeast corner, urges Michael Snyder, commissioner of the Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation, and Vermont's unofficial fall-color guru.
True to form, the wave of red, orange, yellow and even purple is descending on the erstwhile Green Mountain State from north to south, and from higher elevations to the valleys, Snyder said Wednesday.
Much of the Champlain Valley, meanwhile, remains predominantly green.
Statewide, broad trends are affected by local soil conditions, rainfall, wind and tree health, scientists say.
"Trust the trees," Snyder advises impatient leaf-peepers. "They've done this dance for thousands of years."
A warmer- and dryer-than-usual summer adds another complex set of variables to the mix and could result in a more gradual transition in leaf color, typically with "fantastic finishes," Snyder said.
Early-bird foliage fans might encounter blustery winds on Thursday, with gusts up to 35 mph in the Champlain Valley, Deal added, but will find comfort in Friday's predicted sunny skies.
Folks who take in the scenery on Columbus Day (Monday) will likely encounter temperatures in the high 60s, according to the weather service.

I'm back; new Patrick Buchanan music (Mousetrap); Ex-Girlfriends tonight…
Category: Blog — Tags: Ex-Girlfriends, Mousetrap, Patrick Buchanan, Vicious Lovers — @ 12:37 pm March 28, 2018
Mousetrap frontman Patrick Buchanan's new project is called Vicious Lovers.
Well I'm back from the Florida coast, tanned, rested and ready to go.
Out of the blue while I was in Florida I received an email from Patrick Buchanan, the frontman of Omaha golden age punk band Mousetrap. Now living in Los Angeles, Buchanan has been working on a new musical project called Vicious Lovers, and dropped the first tracks via Bandcamp.
"I recorded literally everything myself," Buchanan said. "I wrote all the songs, played all the instruments, did the production/mix. Nobody else besides me touched this project in any way, from start to finish, which is the first time that's ever happened for me."
The tracks have a snakey, strutting swing that sort of reminds me of Buchanan's last non-Moustrap outing, 2004's After Dark — i.e., this is something completely different than the rough punk you remember from Mousetrap. Check out the tracks below and download them from his Bandcamp page (and on Spotify, Amazon & iTunes). Now if only Buchanan could get a crew together to perform these songs live (and then come back to Omaha).

Lazy-i Interview: Mousetrap's back, but don't call it a reunion; new Criteria video; John Klemmensen needs a kickstart…
Category: Blog,Column,Interviews — Tags: Colby Starck, Craig Crawford, Criteria, John Klemmensen, Mousetrap, Patrick Buchanan — @ 12:39 pm August 15, 2013
Mousetrap circa 2013, from left, Colby Starck, Patrick Buchanan and Craig Crawford.
In this week's column, Mousetrap's back. You can read it in the current issue of The Reader, online here, or what the heck, read it below:
Over the Edge: Mousetrap's Back, but Don't Call It a Reunion
For regular readers of this column, a quick synopsis of who/what is punk rock band Mousetrap:
To use the word "seminal" to describe their impact on the Omaha music scene would be an understatement. Almost every significant Omaha band I've interviewed — whether they play punk, hard rock or even singer-songwriter stuff — has name-checked Mousetrap as an influence. That includes all of Saddle Creek Records' most successful acts.
At the band's core are bassist Craig Crawford and frontman/guitarist Patrick Buchanan. Their hey-day was in the '90s, when they released a couple 7-inch singles followed by their debut full-length Cerebral Revolver in 1993; the follow-up, Lover, in '94, and their final album, The Dead Air Sound System, in '95.
How to describe their music? It's loud, but not macho or "tough-guy" or anything like today's corporate metal goon-rock bands. Instead, the music is bitter and angry. Its anger is channeled more toward themselves than whatever situation Buchanan and Crawford are howling about. Actually, it's more pain than anger — not a broken-hearted pain, but an exposed nerve physical throbbing abscessed tooth sort of agony — bright red and pulsing.
Mousetrap's abrasive, acidic rock is not for everybody, in fact, it's not for most people. After years of touring — a rarity for local bands in the early '90s — Mousetrap eventually faded away by the end of the decade.
And then seemingly out of the blue — the band played a pair of reunion shows at The Waiting Room in 2009 and 2010. And now their back again, but this time it's different. Mousetrap intends to become an active band, or as bassist Crawford put it, "We're a functioning band that plans to put out a new album by December."
Crawford talked via Skype last Saturday in the band's Chicago practice space. Also on the video-chat were frontman Buchanan, looking as sinister as ever with his mane of black, tousled hair, and new drummer Colby Starck.
Starck, a former Lincolnite who you may remember from such '90s bands as Pablo's Triangle and Roosevelt Franklin, has lived in Chicago for about 12 years, where he made acquaintances with Crawford. He says Mousetrap's first 7-inch "Wired" b/w "Train," released on the late Dave Sink's One-Hour Records, continues to be his favorite single.
"I've been a fan for a long time, and Mousetrap has always had trouble with drummers," Starck said. "Whenever I saw them, I always said, 'That should be me up there.'" And now it is.
Buchanan wanted to make sure I mention that former drummer, Mike Mazzola, who played with Mousetrap at the reunion shows, is a great drummer and a good friend and that the switch to Starck was a scheduling thing.
"It totally made more sense to have Colby come in because he can invest more time in the band," Buchanan said. "We want to make this a living, breathing, fully operational band and that requires more time and commitment."
Becoming a "real band" had been the plan back in 2010, but it obviously never happened. Shortly after the holiday reunion show, Buchanan, who works in advertising, got a job offer in Miami. "It's the nature of the ad business, if you want to get yourself a raise, you have to move to where the job is," he said. But it didn't take long for Buchanan to realize that Miami is "kind of a shithole." When he got another job offer back in Detroit, he took it. And as soon as he got back, he called Crawford and got the ball rolling again.
By the way, Buchanan said despite the city recently declaring bankruptcy, Detroit isn't a bad place to live. "I actually love it," he said, "and I love that the media is so harsh on it. It'll keep all the hipster douche bags away."
Back to our story. Detroit is an easy drive to Chicago, which allows the band to get together over the weekends. Word of this reunion leaked back in March. Since then, the band not only has been getting Starck up to speed on the band's back catalog, but writing new material, including one new song that will be performed at Friday night's show at The Waiting Room, and Saturday night's show at The Chesterfield in Sioux City.
Buchanan said Mousetrap's new material is "pretty dark."
"It's driven by the type of vibe that you hear when you listen to Iggy Pop's The Idiot album, which is the greatest nighttime album ever made," he said. "Let me explain it in less specific terms: Mousetrap of 1993 was a sawed-off shotgun. Mousetrap of 2013 is more like a sniper rifle. The stuff we're doing isn't less violent or abrasive, just extra concentrated."
Both Crawford and Buchanan said there's a void for their style of aggressive music. "The formula (in pop music) in the last year has been bands saying, 'Hey, Ho.'" Crawford said. "I don't see a lot of bands with balls."
"You see a lot of dudes with beards strumming acoustic guitars wearing vests and suspenders, old-timely clothes like a frontier pioneer guy," Buchanan added. "I feel like what we're doing is pretty fresh right now because it's not what's happening. There's a lot of dance-y electronic music and softer indie-rock stuff, but there's not a lot of loud, aggressive rock music that's not metal. There has always been an anti-social streak to us in a musical sense; we've always been dark and confrontational, that's the music we want to make."
And if no one likes it?
"It doesn't really matter if not a single person buys our next album," Buchanan said. "We make music the way we want to make it. We've always been musically very selfish. We're going to do whatever we want to do. If you like it, that's awesome. If not, there's the door, get the fuck out."
Mousetrap plays Friday, Aug. 16, at The Waiting Room, 6212 Maple Street, with Ron Wax and Noah's Ark Was a Spaceship. Tickets are $8, the show starts at 9 p.m.. For more information, go to onepercentproductions.com
Over The Edge is a weekly column by Reader senior contributing writer Tim McMahan focused on culture, society, the media and the arts. Email Tim at tim.mcmahan@gmail.com.
And yet another Mousetrap interview right here at hearnebraska.com.
And here's Mousetrap doing "Superkool" at The Waiting Room in 2010, via the YouTube.
Friday night's show at TWR should be epic.
In case you're wondering what the boys in Criteria have been up to, check out their just-released Love Drunk video for yet-to-be-released song "This Reign Is Ours." Heavy riffage. Lots of exciting woodworking. You get the idea. BTW, Criteria will be playing the local stage at Saturday's Maha Music Festival. Get your tix right here and get ready to rock.
Finally, Omaha's No. 1 broken-hearted troubadour, John Klemmensen, is getting ready to hit the road on a tour that takes him to the West Coast. The only thing he needs is gas money. And that's where you come in.
Check out John Klemmensen's Kickstarter Campaign, where he's trying to raise a measly $500. Prizes include a candle-lit bubble bath drawn by John himself as he serenades you with one of his slow, sad, sexy ballads…. j/k.
"j/k" stands for Just Kidding. Though John might want to consider adding it to the list. It's got to be worth $50…
2010: The Year in Music, Pt. 2 — Best Live Shows; Live Review: Mousetrap; Stolen Kisses tonight…
Category: Blog,Column,Reviews — Tags: 2010 Year in Music, Craig Crawford, Mousetrap, Patrick Buchanan — @ 2:08 pm December 30, 2010
Column 303: Stage Dive
The best shows of '10
Wrapping up the music year in review, here is my list of the best shows of the 100 or so that I attended in 2010. Yeah, I know there are a few missing (Where's the Pixies? Where's Justin Bieber?), but I can't be at all of them. Help fill in the blanks by listing your favorites in the comment section of this story.
Jan. 22-23 — The Waiting Room re-grand opening. After gutting the interior and literally "raising the roof" (or at least the ceiling), the centerpiece Benson club celebrated with two nights of shows — a local gig featuring Little Brazil, Little Black Stereo, Ground Tyrants and Kyle Harvey, and a national show featuring afro-beat band NOMO. The verdict, Omaha had another world-class club to compete with Slowdown.
Jan. 29 — Haiti Relief Concert at Slowdown — What more could you ask for than Conor Oberst singing "Lua" backed by Nate Walcott on flugelhorn? The Bright Eyes reunion was one of the highlights of a sold-out show that benefitted the earthquake-torn country, that also included performances by Tilly and The Wall, It's True, Simon Joyner, The Mynabirds, Bear Country, McCarthy Trenching and Brad Hoshaw.
March 15 — Digital Leather at O'Leaver's — With a full beard, frontman Shawn Foree resembled an indie version of Jim Morrison circa Morrison Hotel. And with an extra keyboard player, he was free to get more involved on stage and with the crowd on such moving anthems as "Studs in Love."
April 5 — Beach House at TWR — Visually, a boring show. Sonically, nothing less than amazing. Every note of their chamber pop echoed and glowed as they played all the songs from breakthrough album Teen Dream. Between numbers, they talked about Malcolm X, the Omaha Beef and 311, dedicating songs to each of them.
May 2 — So-So Sailors at Slowdown Jr. — I came to see Jeremy Messersmith, the crowd came to see The Mynabirds, but it was So-So Sailors that everyone was talking about after the show.
May 22 — Criteria at The Waiting Room — You couldn't tell that this band hadn't been on a stage in almost two years. Everything was tight, including Stephen Pedersen's high-flyin' vocals that still had that pop. They were having the time of their lives, and so was an audience that greeted old favorites with raised fists.
June 13 — The Mountain goats at Slowdown — Balladeer John Danielle did a Storytellers shtick, with bits about life on the road or what inspired the next rousing anthem or stirring ballad, delivered in the rapid-fire style of a well-seasoned stand-up comic.
June 28 — Deerhoof at TWR — As a live band, Deerhoof eclipsed their restrained, measured recordings with sheer ferocity, transforming from an art band into something that more closely resembled punk.
June 30 — It's True at Slowdown Jr. –"This is our third to last show," said inebriated frontman Adam Hawkins without giving an explanation. The performance had the charm of a drunken wake, with Hawkins taking double shots between songs. Despite proclaiming that he was "wasted," he still put on one helluva show.
July 9 — Lincoln Invasion in Benson — Twenty bands from Lincoln decended on Benson for one night, but it was Mercy Rule that made the best argument for Star City's superiority.
July 24 — MAHA Music festival — We all had a favorite performance. Some said Spoon, others Ben Kweller and The Faint. For me it was conquering heroes Superchunk playing for their first time in Nebraska.
July 31 — Concert for Equality in Benson — For one day, 2,000 people crowded the streets of Benson to celebrate freedom, or the lack of it. While host Conor Oberst shined with Bright Eyes, it was the reunion of his other band, Desaparacidos, along with Lullaby for the Working Class, that made the day historic.
Aug. 27 — Slowdown Block Party — With his stringy hair and big, crazy graying beard, Built to Spill's Doug Martsch looked like he just walked out of a survivalist compound. And though his Neil Young-meets-Kermit the Frog voice couldn't hit the high notes, he could still shred on guitar like few others in the indie world.
Sept. 16 — Titus Andronicus at TWR — I wouldn't say it was "epic" as much as an attempt at being epic. Every one of Titus' tuneful anthem punk songs started small before exploding into pounding riffs, sing-along lyrics and the occasional Celtic-flavored melody.
Sept. 24 — Serena-Maneesh at TWR — Slowdive. Ride. My Bloody Valentine. I never saw any of them perform live on stage. And after this show, I get the feeling that Serena-Maneesh will be the closest I'll ever get.
Oct. 22 — Bad Luck Charm at The 49'r — The headliner was BLC, but the real star was the bar itself, which was celebrating its second-to-last show before closing its doors forever.
Nov. 19 — Tim Kasher at TWR — Backed by a solid band, an unually reserved Kasher was all business, serenading the crush mob with solo ballads, Good Life covers and a tip o' the hat to David Bowie.
Nov. 29 — Mark Mallman at TWR — Ever the professional showman, Mallman played as if he were in front of a sold out Carnegie Hall instead of a virtually empty room. He deserved better.
Were we saving the best for last? An early press date kept me from including the Dec. 23 reunion of Slowdown Virginia and Polecat, and the Dec. 29 return of Mousetrap to The Waiting Room. I guess I'll just have to include them on next year's list.
Mousetrap at The Waiting Room, Dec. 29, 2010.
Actually, you needn't wait for next year's list. You already saw the Slowdown Virginia review. And last night was Mousetrap at The Waiting Room.
Before I get to the specifics, let me get this off my chest — There is something strangely timeless about Mousetrap's music, and here's what I'm talking about: No one — not back then in the '90s and certainly not now — could channel rage quite the way these guys could and still do. It's not a macho or tough-guy thing like today's corporate metal goon-rock bands. Instead, it's bitter and angry, but it's anger channeled more toward themselves than whatever situation Patrick Buchanan and Craig Crawford are screaming about. Actually, it's more about pain than anger — not a broken-hearted pain, but an exposed nerve physical throbbing abscessed tooth sort of agony. Bright red and pulsing.
Nothing sounds like Mousetrap today. Look at any of the 2010 top-10 album lists floating around the internet right now and ask yourself how many of those bands sound like they've ever been mad about anything. Arcade Fire, for example, channels regret and lost hope in mournful tones, as if they've come to accept the fact that we've all somehow been cheated. They're martyrs. Mousetrap is on the opposite side. They're not giving an inch. If you fuck with them, they're going to let you know what they think of you at 300 dBs with spit flying from their mouths. And that is what makes their music strangely timeless. I can't think of another band that has their ridged-back attitude. Mousetrap is that scrappy guy that no one fucked with in high school — not because he was the biggest or toughest in the crowd, but because everyone was afraid what he might do if you piss him off. Because if he snaps, there's no stopping him. Mousetrap is that guy, that scary guy. You don't want to get them started.
Last night they were in fine form, as good as they sounded last year and better than I remember them back in the '90s. They were always a great live band that spent every set teetering over the edge of the cliff. That sense of uncertainty is gone. They're more focused; they know exactly what they want to do, and they do it. Their sound is as vicious and acidic as ever; but Buchanan's voice (as well as Crawford's) is more controlled and certain. And after last night, I'm somewhat convinced that Mike Mazzola may be the best drummer they've worked with, giving the absent Scott Miller a run for his money. The crowd of 130 or so looked like they were paying homage to returning legends, which they were.
Buchanan ended the set saying, "See you next year," but made the surprise annoucement that the band is considering recording a new album in 2011 — that is, if they can find a label to give them some cash. Somebody needs to step up, because it would be a shame if Mousetrap remained a once-a-year reunion gig. And we all could use a regular dose of anger in our musical diets. With the world the way it is, we certainly have a lot to be angry about.
The reunions continue tonight at The Slowdown. The last time I saw Stolen Kisses was way back in January 2009 (reviewed here). The band split up shortly afterward when Chris Kramer moved to Chicago. Well, he's back tonight for this Stolen Kisses reunion show that also includes performances by Darren Keen and the Fellowship of the Ring, and the debut of Our Hearts Are Stars, a new band that features members of Bear Country and Talking Mountain, among others. Show starts at 9 and is absolutely free.

Column 302: How Mousetrap's Patrick Buchanan became 'invincible;' Slowdown Virginia/Polecat tonight…

Column 302: From Russia with Rock
The return of Mousetrap…
Mousetrap frontman Patrick Buchanan thought he was getting the opportunity of a lifetime. Little did he know that the next six months would forever change his entire perspective on life in these United States.
But before we get to that, I urge you to get online right now and buy your ticket(s) to the Mousetrap reunion show Dec. 29 at The Waiting Room (or Dec. 28 at The Bourbon Theater for you folks in Lincoln). Guitarist/vocalist Buchanan and bassist Craig Crawford, who make up the core of this seminal Omaha punk band along with new drummer Mike Mazzola, are once again faced with great expectations. They not only have to compete with the golden memories of fans and bands that grew up watching them in the '90s (which includes just about every Saddle Creek Records musician), they also have to live up last year's reunion show, which was better than any Mousetrap show I'd ever seen. Read their reunion story here.
Now on with Buchanan's version of It's a Wonderful Life…
Like Spalding Gray or Eric Bogosian or any other great storytellers of the past, Buchanan knows how to spin a yarn that's so utterly fantastic, you're forced to wonder if he's telling the truth. Back in the '90s, he would call long-distance while on tour with Mousetrap and confess to some of the sickest, most twisted behavior imaginable — all of which not only built upon the band's already notorious reputation, but also made for some great copy, whether it was true or not.
This time, Buchanan said everything was true, and I believed him. He said he just returned stateside after spending the past six months in Russia, where he worked at BBDO Moscow — one of the largest advertising agencies in the world whose accounts include Mercedes Benz and Pepsi.
"Everything about life there was so intense and heavy, every single aspect of every minute of your day was so difficult that it toughened me up in ways that I can't explain — mentally, physically, everything," Buchanan said. "Stuff that would have bothered me before or pissed me off doesn't even affect me now. All I have to do is remember life in Russia and think about how amazing we have it here."
His description of Russian life was like a scene straight out of the Terry Gilliam film Brazil. Buchanan's office was in a row of giant identical, numbered office buildings that resembled faceless prisons. His daily two-mile bicycle commute was like a post-war obstacle course, spotted with falling buildings and 100-foot-deep holes in the streets. "I would always listen to Throbbing Gristle's 'Discipline' during the commute," he said. "It was a meta experience of total extremism."
Extreme, like the gigantic forest fires that blazed just outside the city throughout August. "Because they deregulated their entire fire department to make money, a fire that here would have been put out in a couple days raged out of control for a couple weeks," Buchanan said. The blaze eventually spread to a nearby peat bog. "The combination of wild fires and the peat bog blanketed the city in toxic smoke. For a week I had to wear a full-on gas mask outside just to breathe. When I walked down the street at two in the afternoon the sun looked like the moon because the sky was so dark with ash and shit. It felt like a nuclear holocaust, like World War III had happened."
Adding to the conditions was the hottest summer in Moscow's recorded history. "About 150 people died over the course of two weeks because they drank themselves to death in public places," Buchanan said. "No one has air conditioning. To escape the heat they'd get a bottle of vodka and drink until they passed out, sometimes into a fountain where they drowned. They had the choice of dying either by burning up or breathing the air."
Luckily, Buchanan's 300-square-foot studio apartment, which cost 50,000 rubles a month (about $1,500) was air conditioned. He hadn't counted on Moscow's extremely high cost of living, not only in terms of money, but in time. The simple act of making a deposit at a bank took no less than an hour, thanks to the mountain of forms that had to be filled out. "It's like their whole system was designed by some evil architect to try to make every single factor of life as difficult as possible," he said.
At least the city was safe from crime; that is if you could afford to bribe the police. "They're shameless about it," Buchanan said of the payoffs. "If the police shake you down and you don't have any money, they'll drive you to an ATM," which is exactly what happened to him after he accidentally drove the wrong way down a one-way street.
Over time, things only got worse. Then out of the blue, Buchanan got a call from a former colleague who knew of a job opening at Detroit ad agency Doner. And just like that, the nightmare ended. Clarence got his wings and Buchanan was back in the U.S. of A. with a new, more patriotic attitude.
"I never considered myself one of those 'America, I love it' guys," he said. "I grew up a punk rocker in the Reagan years, so my idea of the United States is more negative — the world's oppressor. But it's like what people say who have been to war: If you haven't experienced it, you can't know what it's like. Moscow is like that. The people are incredibly tough, and it toughened the shit out of me. I feel invincible here."
God Bless America, and pass the borscht…
The folks at Saddle Creek Records are hinting that tonight's Slowdown Virginia/Polecat reunion show at Slowdown is bound to sell out, so if you don't have your tickets yet, you better get them now, right here. Show is scheduled to start at 9. See you there…
One more thing: The entire Polecat discography, including Dilly Dally and the never-released-followup album, are available for download for free at thebandbrokeup.com, where you'll also find tracks by Pablo's Triangle (pre-Head of Femur), Thirteen Nightmares (pre-Mercy Rule) and a ton more from Lincoln and Omaha. Check it out.
Mousetrap's Buchanan "shoots himself" in Moscow; Homeless for the Holidays, Pt. 1…
Category: Blog,Column — Tags: Homeless for the Holidays, I Shot Myself Today, Mousetrap, Patrick Buchanan — @ 1:59 pm December 14, 2010
When was the last time I went to a show? Well, I guess that would have to be Mark Mallman way way way back on Nov. 29. That's right, it's been more than two full weeks. It seems like an eternity, but the fact is, there just haven't been any national shows that have piqued my interest, and the local shows have involved bands that I've seen countless times, and have fallen on nights where the temps have been more than enough to convince me to stay inside (plus, I've suffered though bouts of the stomach flu and a head cold). Let's face it, it's been a quiet last few weeks show-wise, but the volume is about to be ratcheted up as folks return home for the holidays, signaling the annual round of "reunion shows," and we've got quite a spate in store through the end of the year.
Not the least of which is another grand and glorious Mousetrap reunion show. Whilst researching a column in support of that Mousetrap show here in Omaha at The Waiting Room Dec. 29 and in Lincoln at the Bourbon Theater Dec. 28, I came across this recently produced short film called "I Shot Myself Today," that stars Mousetrap frontman Patrick Buchanan, shot entirely in Moscow. It's quite a head trip. And there's quite a story behind it. But you'll have to wait until next week to hear about that. Until then, check out the film right here on YouTube. It's as weird and trippy as anything you'd expect from Buchanan.
Tonight at The Waiting Room it's the first of two nights of Homeless for the Holidays benefit concerts. Tonight's line-up features Jake Bellows, The Whipkey Three, No Blood Orphan, Orion Walsh, and The Fergesens. The $10 cover goes to Sienna Francis House. Show starts at 8:45.

Women's unemployment has increased again by 45,000, the worst figure recorded since 1988.
Gloomy data released from The Office for National Statistics reported that the figure for unemployed women now stands at 1.1 million, the highest in 17 years.
Female and youth figures showed the biggest rises and the number of people claiming jobseeker's allowance went up for the ninth month in a row.
Earlier in the year, a new unemployment record was set my youths desperate to work, causing concern all over the nation. This new data shows unemployment amongst 16 to 24 year olds increased by 54,000 to 1.03 million.

Tinkle Razor Review: Should Women Shave Their Face?
What's with this Tinkle razor review?
I'm aware that some of you haven't even heard about this special facial hair removal tool. That's where my review comes in handy. Or maybe you've heard the name in passing but you don't know exactly what it is or how to use it.
Stick around. Let's talk more about this facial hair removal.
What are the advantages for the Tinkle razor?
Tinkle razor: where can you buy it?
Can you use the Tinkle razor for a complete facial hair removal?
What type of hairs does it remove best?
Should women shave their facial hair?
2. speaking of, hair removal creams might cause the darkening of the skin, unless you use the Olay Smooth Finish Facial Hair Removal Duo but that's pretty expensive but using this razor will leave your skin looking amazing, rejuvenated even.
3. it's cheap, like really really cheap.
4. there's no much work involved: you shave the hairs directly on dry skin without needing any shaving cream or balm.
5. it's really fast, faster than any other facial hair removal method.
6. moisturize after because the Tinkle razor also acts as an exfoliator so you need to sooth your facial skin.
7. since it's a kind of an exfoliator you can skip exfoliating once you start using the Tinkle as a facial hair removal tool.
The hairs will soon be back, in up to 5 days you will definitely have to use it again.
It actually depends from person to person.
I must clearly say in my Tinkle razor review that some women might end up using it daily.
The good news it that the hairs won't grow back thicker. The same hair will regrow in the same shape and thickness.
That's about it, I cannot think of another disadvantage. Let me know if you have discovered another.
Now that I've got you interested maybe you would like to try it.
Naturally, there's the question where to buy this Tinkle razor?
The easiest way is to buy them online but there are also sold in drugstores.
The straight answer it yes.
You can use it on every part of the face where you have even the smallest hairs, it will cut everything: upper lip, sideburns, chin, cheeks, and so on.
You can use it around the eyebrows as well. It's small so it won't ruin your shape. Once you have your eyebrows shaped you can use this facial razor to maintain the shape or to remove the hairs that are too thin for the tweezers to grab and pull from the root.
The Tinkle is quite the impressive facial hair removal tool and can be used to remove peach fuzz and coarse hairs, no matter what skin type you have.
I am aware that for many women peach fuzz is a source of anxiety. It definitely becomes visible in the summer under that wonderful sunny warm light that can be so merciless because it reveals everything.
I have a lot of peach fuzz. I have dark hair and I've always envied blondes. Not for the color of their head hair but for the color of their body hair.
However, I'm in my late twenties and my peach fuzz has definitely changed since I was in college. That's when I started analyzing my facial hair. Since then, it has become more and a bit darker.
I'm not planning on removing it any time soon.
Am I bothered by it? You bet that I am. But I'm also lazy, incredibly so, and I already remove almost all of my bodily hair. I don't need to add more to the list, not for a few more years.
I'm writing this Tinkle razor review but when the time comes I'm still going to use an epilator to get rid of my peach fuzz and my sideburns and my chin hair and so on.
I've got nothing against shaving, even when it comes to shaving facial hair but I prefer methods that offer a smooth skin for longer, like epilation, waxing, and threading.
If you want a painless facial hair removal method, I think that my Tinkle razor review might just have provided you with the answer.
I think this is kind of a taboo topic.
When talking about shaving our mind automatically pictures a man standing in front of a mirror with white snow foam covering his face, hot running water and a safety razor in hand.
The image has changed slightly over the years because not everyone uses a safety razor anymore.
That's not the same painting when we talk about women shaving their facial hair. There's no usual razor involved. No water running and no foam.
The Tinkle is actually all you need and you can use it directly on dry skin. It's special and I've said that a number of times in my Tinkle razor review.
Shaving shouldn't be regarded as a weird action, even though instead of a man we picture a woman.
If you don't want to resort to a painful facial hair removal method (threading, waxing, epilation) you should give facial shaving a chance and see how it goes.
That's the most important thing that I wanted to express in my Tinkle razor review. And please remember to moisturize after each shaving, use your usual facial cream.


In contrast to a single 4mm bearing used in the stock product, this Spedix tensioner kit has two 3mm quality Japanese NMB ball bearings, and width of the middle wheel has also been changed from 4mm to 6.5mm. This wider wheel ensures belt run quieter and smoother, and prevents belt to slip off belt drive pulley.
This tail boom holder can prevent the tail boom rip into the heli body and destroy the plastic main frames in a crash.
CNC precision cut from high strength, light weight aviation aluminum alloy.
Shaft is compatible with stock Logo shaft.
Creative design. The shaft can be easily replaced by unscrewing a single hex screw.
The pulley is made of strong and light aviation aluminum alloy.
CNC precision machining, highly concentric. These features prevent belt sliding and reduce vibration.
These are the belt tensioning pulleys that are installed in the front of the chassis (just behind the main gear).
Made of strong and light aviation aluminum alloy.
CNC precision machining, highly concentric.
Durable Japanese NMB ball bearings.
Linkage rod SET with counter threads, made from Stainless steel, with easy adjustment. m2.5 is very strong for all today FBL helicopters.
Usually, we can't fine-tune a typical ball linkage set to any length because we need to turn the ball link a whole or multiple rounds.
In order to keep the direction of the ball link.
Besides, we need to take off and put on the ball link for adjustment everytime and this is really a troublesome step.
Now we solve this problem. With the two-way fine adjustbale linkage rods, you are able to fine-tune the linkage length without taking off the ball link.
The helicopter setup is no more a bothersome process!!
Direct replacement for Standard Logo 700 Pitch Rod Set.

I go through the program step by step in the video just as if you were sitting with me in my clinic. As a bonus, you will also receive my 8-part series of webinars, packed with some important and helpful information and tips to help you with your weight loss journey. General topics covered are: 1.

I have been using the HCG system with some of my clients since 2012. HCG is considered fairly new to Australia, and is not really known about… but has been widely used by the Famous Movie Stars, A-listers like Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson and Mariah Carey. America has been using this system for quick weight loss for some years now. The Program involves the Homeopathic formula of HCG to be taken daily in drop form along with a strict 500-calorie diet per day. The homeopathic drops assist in the fat burning phase and you are not hungry on the program due to the HCG formula. This diet is associated with dramatic weight loss of up to 500 grams a day. (Individual results may occur) During this program, you will receive a hand book and a dairy to complete daily accompanied with 4 one – on -one consultations either face to face or via phone.

Stemming the tide of the biggest threat to women's rights - sister-hood magazine. A Fuuse production by Deeyah Khan.
Despite turmoil, danger, and oppression, women in the Middle East and North Africa are not succumbing—instead they are resisting. Women are claiming new public spaces, fighting back against discriminatory systems and laws, and raising their voices on topics that were once taboo. At the heart of this resistance lies the issue of gender-based violence.
Women's groups throughout the region are trying to remove the taboo of talking about violence against women, including the organization Struggle Against Sexual Violence, which offers educational programming across the country, including small towns, for women about sexual harassment and sexual violence.
Indeed, women's groups in the region are reporting crucial gains in public awareness, efforts to change norms around violence against women, and passing new laws that protect women.
Removing some of the taboos around violence against women and changing harmful norms (including victim-blaming and the expectation that women remain silent if they experience violence) is encouraging more women to speak out. Women's groups in the region see that more women are now reporting violence to the police—something that would not have happened even five years ago in many countries in the region.
As public outreach and advocacy become more important to changing laws and social norms around violence against women, women's groups are pursuing unique and creative strategies to reach new people.
Just as women are the targets of gender-based violence, so are they also the key to progressing women's human rights in the region. Despite substantial challenges, women are continuing their work to win rights for women and reduce violence against women. "We find that we have to find our own forms of feminist resistance and use it in any way possible," says Yanar Mohammed.
This article was first published on Global Fund for Women as part of their Women Demanding Progress in the Middle East campaign and has been reproduced with their permission.
sister-hood is a digital magazine, providing Muslim women with a platform to speak for themselves, rather than being spoken to, spoken for, or spoken about.


Delegation of power to programmers is a smart idea. It is provably and measurably smarter than leaving the power with managers to design the developer's work environment, and with IT architects to design the technology that we should program.
Devolving the power to create a better working-environment, and to design the technology for our stakeholders, is better because developers are closer to the action, are more informed in practical detail and they can rapidly and frequently, test and measure, that their ideas really work.

These are the companies that open — and close — the most ETFs
"Death is very likely the single best invention of life," said Steve Jobs, who knew a thing or two about innovation. "It's life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new."
It's a cringeworthy approach to life but standard operating procedure in financial services. In fact, professionals in the exchange-traded fund industry spend a lot of time thinking about the ETF "mortality rate." It's both higher than you might think, and considered by ETF professional to be a good thing. But what does it mean for investors?
"I think it's quite healthy to see firms closing products because it implies they are looking at their product mix and willing to admit when something did not work," said Dave Nadig, managing director of ETF.com.
Conversely, Nadig said, "when you look at some of these firms that have a high churn, it's reasonable to ask, is this because they're willing to kill products that aren't working — or because they're launching too many funds to begin with?"
For many years, the ETF "open-close" ratio was 2:1, meaning that for every two funds that opened, one closed. Now, the ratio is closer to 1.2:1, Nadig said.
Terrordome claims more victims, 8 closures in Oct so far, incl $FNG (active ETF which doesn't nec hold FANG stocks despite ticker) and $BCNA (China Blockchain ETF launched at tail end of blockchain mania). ETF Closures Continue To Be Strong via @ETFcom https://t.co/5xF6k4JEut

The chart above shows the total number of funds each company has opened, and how many each has closed, for a small sample of that same ratio.
The chart below shows how many funds each company has closed over the past five years as a percentage of the total number it currently has open.
For the most part, Nadig maintains, the firms with the highest closure rates, noted on the chart above, have some special circumstances. Proshares builds products for traders, not buy-and-hold investors, he noted. "That is by definition going to be fickle. Nobody is allocating money into a triple-leveraged product for ten years. To see a lot of churn in those makes sense."

, has spent some time recently re-evaluating their strategy, Nadig said. "What you see here is coalescing around a strategy." At the other end of the spectrum is Vanguard, which doesn't launch anything until the company is absolutely certain it's going to be around for the long haul.
What does it all mean for investors? Nadig and many other ETF-watchers give the same advice over and over, and it applies here as well: know what you're buying. Use the chart above as a guideline for companies that are more likely to churn through new ideas.
First-mover advantage in a new ETF theme or approach counts for a lot, Nadig said. That means you may want to think twice about buying, say, the sixth marijuana-themed fund out of the gate.
Read: Welcome to the adult table: SEC sets new ETF rules
Funds that fail almost always fail to attract enough assets to keep going. While there's no hard and fast rule about what "enough assets" means, investors may want to have their own personal "rule of thumb" about what kind of threshold makes sense. A general industry-wide rule of thumb is that once an ETF has pulled in about $20 million, it's no longer in danger of closing. Of course, there may well be a reason to take a chance on a fund with less assets, keeping the risks in mind.
And what are the risks, precisely? At worst, you'll be left with a pile of cash that may carry a tax liability if you've picked up some capital gains. Still, since that's not what most investors expect when they invest in an ETF, it's worth doing a little legwork up front to try to guard against it.

Top trio chasing glory in Stella Artois Players Championship
DAINFERN, Johannesburg – Jaco Ahlers, JJ Senekal and Ockie Strydom have set up a thrilling finale to the Stella Artois Players Championship as they head into Sunday's final round in a three-way tie for the lead on 13 under par.
The trio are one shot clear of Estiaan Conradie and Rourke van der Spuy, while Luke Jerling produced a scintillating 62 to climb to 10 under par overall.
Senekal had a terrific run of four birdies and an eagle over the turn which carried him into a share of the lead as he signed for a 67. Ahlers produced a solid 69 to take his share of the lead, and Strydom – who led by two going into the third round – birdied the last for a 71 to keep himself in contention.
But apart from Jerling's incredible round, it was a far tougher day of scoring at Dainfern than in the previous rounds.
"It was a lot windier and the greens have started firming up quite a bit. If you keep missing it on the wrong side of the flag you can have quite a difficult time," said Ahlers.
As a nine-time winner on the Sunshine Tour, Ahlers is hoping his experience will make the difference in the final round.
"It's always good to lead, but I feel like today could have been so much more different. I hit good putts but they just didn't go in. I don't think I need to look too much into it. I had four lip-outs and a few other putts that missed by fractions, so I'll just put it down to being one of those days."
Ahlers will be seeing out the Sunshine Tour season with this week's tournament and then next week's season-ending Tour Championship before he heads off to Korea for his Asian Tour duties.
"It's a good two weeks these. If you do well you can jump a few places on the Order of Merit, although that number one spot (currently held by Shaun Norris) is pretty much out of our reach. But it's a good two weeks to end the season with." – Michael Vlismas
Strydom hits the front at Dainfern

1. armáda byla polní armáda, která v době mobilizace v roce 1938 měla za úkol bránit území Čech od toku Vltavy v jižních Čechách po tvrz Bouda na rozhraní Orlických hor a Jeseníků. Celková délka hlavního obranného postavení činila 631 km.

Velitelství 1. armády vzniklo 27. září 1938 ve 12:00 z dosavadního Zemského vojenského velitelství Praha.

Velitelem 1. armády byl armádní generál Sergej Vojcechovský, který disponoval ekvivalentem celkem 11 divizí a jednou vyšší jednotkou v síle brigády (Skupina 4).

Stanoviště velitele se nacházelo v Kutné Hoře.

Úkoly 1. armády
Úkolem jednotek 1. armády byla obrana hlavního obranného postavení (HOP) proti útoku německé armády. V oblasti západních a severozápadních Čech (I. sbor a Hraniční pásmo XI) se předpokládal v případě průlomu prvního HOP ústup na záložní obranné postavení (např. v podkrušnohoří na čáru Blšanka–Ohře), případně až k linii toku Vltavy, Berounky a linii opevnění západně od Prahy (tzv. Pražská čára), která u Mělníka navazovala na tzv. Liběchovskou příčku. Naproti tomu jednotky bránící území východních Čech na linii Jizerské Hory – Krkonoše – Orlické Hory měly držet HOP za každou cenu, protože průlom v této oblasti by znamenal průnik nepřítele do týlu celé 1. armády. Teprve v případě průlomu linie na toku Vltavy přicházel v úvahu ústup s ostatními jednotkami 1. armády na další obranné postavení na Českomoravské vrchovině.

V prostoru 1. armády se také nacházely některé jednotky ze zálohy Hlavního velitelství, které mohly být podle uvážení hlavního velitele, armádního generála Ludvíka Krejčího, použity k podpoře obrany na klíčových směrech. Jednalo se například o 4. divizi, soustředěnou v oblasti Hradce Králové, 13. divizi v oblasti Pelhřimov–Humpolec a 1. rychlou divizi soustředěnou u Pacova. U dvou naposled jmenovaných však bylo možné, že jako prioritnější by bylo vyhodnoceno jejich nasazení k podpoře obrany jižních Čech.

Q: Javafx WebView OpenLayers Map OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space I am adding Openlayers map to WebView added to a swing panel.
Heap memory usage increases steeply while zooming/adding layer/replacing layer.
Ultimately results in java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
I had maximum memory set to 500MB.
Tried in both JDK 1.7.0_40 & 1.8.0.
I think Images added/replaced through javascript  are not getting removed from memory properly.
Profiling shows Heapdatabuffer retains instances of ImageFrame
eg:
- value: com.sun.javafx.iio.ImageFrame[] #3 (1 items)
 -> [0] - class: com.sun.javafx.iio.ImageFrame[], value: com.sun.javafx.iio.ImageFrame #3

Is there any way to remove the image instances from memory?
Thanks in advance.

Q: Fortran Compile Error: Unclassifiable statement Can someone please help me with the following? I am new to Fortran and am trying to run the following using a GCC for Windows.
program jacobi
implicit none
double precision, dimension(:,:), allocatable :: u, u_n
double precision :: Res_2, Res_inf
integer :: i,j,mesh,unit
mesh=64

Res_2=0
allocate(u(0:mesh,0:mesh))
allocate(u_n(0:mesh,0:mesh))
u=0
u_n=0
u(:,0)=1
u_n(:,0)=1
unit=12

open(unit, file="array.txt", access='append', status='old')

do while (Res_2>1D-10)
    Res_2=0
    do (i=1,mesh-1)
        do (j=1,mesh-1)
            u(i,j)=0.25D0*(u_n(i+1,j)+u_n(i-1,j)+u_n(i,j-1))
        end do
    end do
    Res_inf=-4D0*maxval((u-u_n))
    do (i=1,mesh-1)
        do (j=1,mesh-1)
            Res_2=Res_2+(-4D0*(u(i,j)-u_n(i,j)))**2
        end do
    end do
    Res_2=sqrt(Res_2)
    write(1,*) Res_2
end do
close(unit)

end program jacobi

I keep getting these error while compiling:
jacobi.f95:21.2:

  do (i=1,mesh-1)
  1
Error: Unclassifiable statement at (1)
jacobi.f95:22.3:

   do (j=1,mesh-1)
   1
Error: Unclassifiable statement at (1)
jacobi.f95:25.5:

  end do
     1
Error: Expecting END PROGRAM statement at (1)
jacobi.f95:27.2:

Am I using the do loop wrong? Have I declared the variable 'i,j' incorrectly?

A: The parentheses in your statements such as
do (i=1,mesh-1)

are not acceptable, the correct form in Fortran is
do i=1,mesh-1

Having failed to see a (valid) do statement the compiler later complains at finding an unmatched end do statement.  Fix the do statements, the error about expecting an end program statement should go away.

At Paddington Terrace we experienced the fruits of working with clients open to the creative use of material and a marriage between contemporary tastes and celebrated heritage features. The Victorian kitchen's petite size was maximised with a renovation to incorporate smart storage and the clean lines of integrated appliances, suiting the couple's culinary inclinations. The kitchen's size allowed for the use of the finest materials, with the resulting kitchen features slabs of gorgeous Bianco Carrera marble, classical tapware and designer lighting.
The formerly dark living spaces got a light injection with crisp white walls and a custom arched steel frame door equipped to suit the family dog. Danish designed lighting futher assist to create a relaxing ambiance. Upstairs the home's main bathroom is a luxurious retreat with porcelain and brass lighting, handmade wall tiles, bronze tapware and soft grey terrazzo floor and feature walls.
The bathroom was completely reconfigured to allow for an oversized vanity with concealed power points, a shower and separate bath, as well as the couple's laundry.
As with many classic Victorian homes, storage needed to be increased to suit the modern inhabitants, which was accomplished by designing freestanding wardrobes for the main bedroom, intended to disappear into the surrounding walls as to not overwhelm the room's original fireplace. The resulting home is the perfect balance of contemporary luxury and heritage romanticism.

Q: Button to pass Shiny datatable row as a parameter to a report I have a data table and I would like it to have a button in each row that passes the row values into a report. I don't know how to hook up the per row buttons to the report. I should add that I understand how to pass parameters to a report etc. The specific problem is how to pass a row as a paramter from the row-wise button press. Here is what I have so far:

rv <- reactiveValues(
    data = data.frame(mtcars)
)

selectButtonColumn <- function(df, id, ...) {
    # function to create one action button as string
    f <- function(i) {
        as.character(
            actionButton(
                # The id prefix with index
                paste(id, i, sep="_"),
                label = NULL,
                icon = icon('trash'),
                onclick = 'Shiny.setInputValue(\"deletePressed\", this.id, {priority: "event"})'))
    }

    deleteCol <- unlist(lapply(seq_len(nrow(df)), f))

    # Return a data table
    DT::datatable(cbind(delete = deleteCol, df),
                  # Need to disable escaping for html as string to work
                  escape = FALSE,
                  options = list(
                      # Disable sorting for the delete column
                      columnDefs = list(list(targets = 1, sortable = FALSE))
                  ))
}

# Define UI for application that draws a histogram
ui <- fluidPage(

    # Application title
    DT::dataTableOutput("mytable")
)

# Define server logic required to draw a histogram
server <- function(input, output) {

    output$mytable = DT::renderDataTable({
        selectButtonColumn(rv$data, 'report_button')
    })

    output$report_button <- downloadHandler(
        # For PDF output, change this to "report.pdf"

Iran asks citizens to report each other's "immoral conduct" to the law

Iran announced today that new social media channels in Instagram and Iran's own homegrown messaging services would be launched for ordinary Iranians to report each other's "immoral" conduct to the Guidance Prosecutor.
According to the Revolutionary Guards affiliated Tasnim News Agency, the head of the Tehran's Guidance Prosecutor's Office detailed what the state deemed "immoral", instructing ordinary Iranians to take photos and videos and gather other information from their fellow citizens to report to the law.
The so called "Guidance Court" channel has asked Tehran citizens to report "any kind of non-observance of the hijab or acts that break the norms in automobiles, alcohol use, and holding mixed gender parties in places such as traditional restaurants, cafés, shopping centers and gardens" among other things. Tehran citizens have also been instructed to report "immoral" content posted by social media users to the Guidance Prosecutor .
The Guidance Prosecutor's Office has asked citizens to film the events they deem immoral and to send it to the social media channels.
Mohammad Mehdi Haj Mohammadi, the head of the Guidance Prosecutor's Office, said that the new launch was "to speed up the process of dealing with norm breakers and to use the capacity of citizens" to better crack down on civil liberties in the capital.
Faced with severe criticism over its use of force to crack down on civil liberties, Iranian law and police officials have in recent months defended the police's brutal suppression.
Yesterday, Tehran's Chief of Police vowed to "robustly" crack down on "improper veiling" and other social liberties while Iran's attorney General defended the police for its suppression of "social abnormalities".
It is unlikely that the Guidance Court's plea would be welcomed by Tehran residents as ordinary Iranians hate the state's morality police.
Instead of reporting each other to the police via social media platforms, it would seem that Iranians would rather film police brutality against citizens to post on social media.
