Mini Reviews: November 25 & 27
by John P. McCarthy
Below are Mini Reviews from Cineman Syndicate for five films opening during the week of November 23, 2005.
ME AND ORSON WELLES. Richard Linklater's paean to the performing arts, from Robert Kaplow's novel, pits an omnivorous genius against a high-school kid. Set backstage at Welles' nascent Mercury Theater in 1937, the fictional tussle is hardly fair or surprising, but we're reminded that an illusion needn't be deep to be effective. The budding thespian (Zac Efron) cast in a modern-dress production of "Julius Caesar" seems too polished, which is partly why the movie's first two-thirds are eminently watchable yet unexceptional. During the final act, however, sparks fly when he's bested by Welles, adroitly channeled by Christian McKay. There are worse ways to come of age than slathered in greasepaint. (PG-13) GOOD DRAMA. Director - Richard Linklater; Lead - Zac Efron; Runnint Time - 113 minutes. (Capsule review by John P. McCarthy)
OLD DOGS. John Travolta and Robin Williams have reached that age when an actor must occasionally make a fool of himself to earn a paycheck. This superannuated exercise isn't worth it, however, even when compared to other lowest-common-denominator throwaways. For example, it makes 2007's Wild Hogs, on which Travolta and director Walt Becker collaborated, look like a comic masterpiece. When two business partners and best friends learn that Williams' character fathered twins during a South Beach bender seven years earlier, their sports-marketing deal with a Japanese company is threatened. Racist, juvenile and nonsensical, it's among the worst of '09. Mugging by Kelly Preston, Seth Green and Rita Wilson doesn't help. (PG) POOR COMEDY. Director - Walt Becker; Lead - John Travolta; Running Time - 95 minutes. (Capsule review by John P. McCarthy)
THE ROAD. The last adaptation of a Cormac McCarthy novel won the Best Picture Oscar. Though nihilistic and violent, the Coen Brothers' No Country for Old Men conveyed the poetry of McCarthy's spare prose. This bummer about a father (Mortensen) and son (Kodi Smit-McPhee) in a post-apocalyptic world does not, either visually or through the dialogue and narration. We're meant to be touched by the will-to-live the man tries to instill in his progeny as they evade cannibals and battle the elements. But it's clear the movie has been heavily reedited; the ending rings false; and the overbearingly sentimental music can't compensate for the lack of even harsh lyricism. (R) FAIR DRAMA. Director - John Hillcoat; Lead - Viggo Mortensen; Running Time - 113 minutes. (Capsule review by John P. McCarthy)
NINJA ASSASSIN. Delivering everything you'd expect from a film titled Ninja Assassin, this throwback to Asian fist-chuckers of the 1980s involves faceless, well-armed government organizations interfering with an ancient war between rival clans. A Europol agent (Naomie Harris) stumbles upon the mysterious Ozunu Clan and its ultimate warrior (chiseled Korean entertainer Rain). Betrayed on all sides by the corrupt and vengeful, they team to take down her double-crossing superiors and his bloodthirsty rivals. Speaking of blood, director McTeigue drenches his movie with gallons of it. Limbs are severed. Bodies are chopped in two. Stylishly gory, it makes Kill Bill look like Sesame Street. Without question, you get what you pay for. (R) GOOD ACTION. Director - James McTeigue; Lead - Rain; Running Time - 96 minutes. (Capsule review by Sean O'Connell)
THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG. Disney returns to its 2D animated roots with this lively but derivative Princess saga about a New Orleans waitress named Tiana (Anika Noni Rose) whose smooch with an egotistical frog prince doesn't turn him human but, instead, turns her green and long-tongued. Bright, varied visuals enliven energetic if not quite indelible Broadway-ish jazz tunes. The progressiveness of Disney depicting its first African-American heroine, however, is -- like its feel-good celebration of hard work and true love -- diluted by questionable stereotypes as well as the puzzling decision to have Tiana spend most of the film as a mucus-y frog. (G) FAIR ANIMATED FANTASY. Directors - Ron Clements & John Musker; Lead - Anika Noni Rose; Running Time - 97 minutes. (Capsule review by Nick Schager)

Sullom Voe Workers Reject EnQuest's Restructuring Plans
By theorkneynews on October 12, 2019 • ( Leave a comment )
Workers at the Sullom Voe Terminal, Shetland, have rejected proposals by EnQuest to restructure the company following a consultation period.
93 % of workers who are members of Unite the Union voted to reject Enquests' proposed changes to terms and conditions. 97% also opposing the company's proposed changes to the organisation. There are approximately 250 workers based at the terminal.
In July, EnQuest – which owns the Sullom Voe terminal in Shetland – announced that it planned to cut its workforce by a quarter. EnQuest held a six week consultation on the reduction of 60 full time employees and 20 contractor positions. The company has also proposed the renegotiation of the existing terms and conditions of the workforce in order to be 'commercially competitive'.
EnQuest, which plans to introduce these changes by January 2020, took over the terminal in December 2017 ending BP's association with the site.
John Clark, Unite regional industrial officer, said:
"Unite members have emphatically rejected the proposed changes at Sullom Voe by EnQuest .
"The announcement by the company in July to reduce the workforce by a quarter and to significantly weaken the existing terms and conditions took everyone by surprise.
"Unite pledged to do everything we could to support the workforce following this all-out attack, which is why we have been consulting with our members through this difficult period on the next steps.
"The fierce opposition to EnQuest's proposals now means that we move to the next stage in the dispute process before we reach the stage of possibly balloting for industrial action."

Senators Fight to Preserve Use of Traditional Ammunition in National Parks
Firearms Industry Applauds Senators' Initiative in Fight to Preserve Use of Traditional Ammunition in National Parks
NEWTOWN, Conn –-(AmmoLand.com)- A letter signed by numerous United States senators to Department of the Interior Secretary Ken Salazar raising important questions about actions by the National Park Service (NPS) to ban the use of traditional ammunition in parks that allow hunting has drawn praise from the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the trade association for the firearms, ammunition, hunting and shooting sports industry.
In the letter to Secretary Salazar, 13 senators detailed their concerns about the impact a ban on traditional ammunition would have on hunters, the economy and wildlife populations.
"At this time, the motives behind NPS actions addressing lead issues are very unclear. Especially in these difficult economic times, this action will discourage people from hunting and fishing and decrease revenue into the Pittman-Robertson fund that funds state conservation efforts," read the letter.
The NPS continues to pursue a ban on traditional ammunition that it announced earlier in the year would apply to park personnel involved with culling sick and wounded animals, and indicated it would consider widening the ban to all hunters. The firearms industry, sportsmen's groups and multiple conservation organizations criticized the ban in a press release, calling it "arbitrary, over-reactive and not based on science."
"The move by members of the United States Senate to step in and raise concerns about the NPS making any unilateral actions concerning traditional ammunition is welcomed by conservation and sportsmen's groups throughout the country and the entire firearms industry," said NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel Lawrence G. Keane. "This process needs to be as transparent as possible and Congress' involvement will help to ensure that this is the case."
The NSSF has clearly stated in communications to the NPS that any decision made about federal lands with regard to ammunition products be based on thorough scientific study of wildlife population impacts. Currently, no scientific evidence indicates that wildlife populations are being negatively impacted by hunters utilizing traditional ammunition.
In concluding their letter to Secretary Salazar, the senators were very clear as to what they wanted to see:
"We request that NPS cease all actions to prohibit the use of lead products on NPS lands by private citizens and NPS personnel."
Signatories on the letter include:
Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY)
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
Sen. James E. Risch(R-ID)
Sen. Jim Bunning (R-KY)
Sen. Roger F. Wicker (R-MS)

About NSSF
The National Shooting Sports Foundation is the trade association for the firearms industry. Its mission is to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports. Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of more than 4,000 manufacturers, distributors, firearms retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen's organizations and publishers.

Robert John Kock
Robert Kock earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Mechanics from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. He served over 22 years as an Army Officer in the Corps of Engineers and retired as a Lieutenant Colonel. Mr. Kock also had a successful career in the oil and gas industry, where he served primarily in project management and leadership roles.
For some time, Mr. Kock has developed and explored his interests in various healing and wellness modalities – both traditional as well as alternative and complimentary. Some of these therapies include chiropractic care, yoga, prayer, meditation (high-tech and traditional), homeopathy, naturopathy, acupuncture, therapeutic massage, various breathing techniques, pharmacology, coaching, counseling, reflexology, Tai Chi, Reiki, ozone therapy, various diets and nutritional programs, exercise, cryotherapy, laying on of hands, energy healing, hypnosis, aromatherapy, biofeedback, Chinese cupping, sauna, craniosacral therapy, fasting, detoxification, heliotherapy, Applied Kinesiology (muscle testing), and sound therapy.
In Mr. Kock's opinion, these therapies have their place and can provide a wide array of benefits – some quite impactful. Clearly some are more widely accepted, while others tend to be discredited as quackery and pseudoscience.
Many modalities have been studied extensively and proven their efficacy. Others reside more prominently in the realm of "faith". And, truth be told, the benefits of both allopathic medicine as well as alternative and complimentary modalities are likely partially attributable to the well-studied placebo effect – the patient's belief in the treatment. Over time and with more research, there is no doubt that science will be able to better measure the results of various healing modalities. And maybe some of today's "quackery" will become tomorrow's proven science.
Robert Kock first became aware of the work of Mahendra Kumar Trivedi in 2010 – first through a webinar, then in person at an event in Chicago. In 2015, Mr. Kock even traveled to the Trivedi Global, Inc. offices for a personal meeting with Mr. Trivedi and his wife, Dahryn Trivedi. What impressed Robert Kock most about Mr. Trivedi was his scientific approach to proving the existence and efficacy of his abilities. It's one thing to have testimonials – it's quite another to have scientific validation to support your claims. "Guruji" Trivedi has both. Mr. Kock was intrigued by the seeming dichotomy between what most people would consider outlandish claims, and Mr. Trivedi's ability to back those claims up with science. So when Mr. Trivedi announced new scientific experiments involving the Biofield Energy Healers that he developed, Mr. Kock jumped at the opportunity to join 19 colleagues from various countries in this endeavor. The other healers in this group were Dr. William Dean Plikerd, Peter L. Surguy, Rolando Baptista Piedad, Russell Phillip Callas, Sakina A. Ansari, Sandra Lee Barrett, Sara Friedman, Steven Lee Christie, Su-Mei Chen Liu, Susan Elizabeth Starling, Susan Jones, Susan Mardis Allen, Susanne Kathrin Wasmus, Terry Ann Benczik, Thomas Charles Slade, Thomas Orban, Victoria L. Vannes, Victoria Margot Schlosser, and Yusif Sarkis Yamin Albino.
Mahendra Kumar Trivedi discovered that he has the ability to harness energy from the universe and transmit it to living organisms or nonliving materials anywhere in the world. The energy is intelligent and performs beneficially to the recipient's individual needs, thereby optimizing the recipient's potential at the cellular, molecular and atomic level, and leading to lasting beneficial changes in behaviors and characteristics. This unique phenomenon of Mr. Trivedi's biofield energy treatments has become world-renowned as the Trivedi Effect®.
Even though Mr. Trivedi compiled a vast and continuously-growing number of testimonials attesting to the capabilities and potential of his biofield treatments, he retained a healthy skepticism. More than 250,000 individuals have sought Mahendra Trivedi's abilities and have testified to the remarkable benefits from his biofield energy treatments in the areas of physical health, relationships, emotional and mental health, finances, business ventures and much more. But Mr. Trivedi was aware of the power of suggestion and people's susceptibility to the placebo effect. As a result, Mahendra Trivedi sought to evaluate the authenticity of the Trivedi Effect® in the arena of science.
Mr. Trivedi has created an invaluable database on the power of consciousness and human potential, with over 4,000 scientific studies conducted on the Trivedi Effect® in agriculture, livestock, biotechnology, microbiology, genetics, human health, cancer and materials science. These studies resulted in nearly 200 papers published in leading international peer-reviewed scientific journals, documenting measured results of the Trivedi Effect®, and thus excluding the possibility of the placebo effect. These publications have been adopted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), around 900 U.S. universities, and hundreds of top universities internationally – including Princeton, Harvard, MIT, Yale, Columbia, Brown, Penn State, Dartmouth, Oxford, Cambridge, and Cornell. The research and publications have revealed results that have astounded scientists worldwide and have led to collaborations with major, leading scientists such as Dr. Rustom Roy, a materials scientist from Penn State University, who was nominated for the Nobel Prize 23 times. Dr. Roy's extensive research and experimentation on the abilities of Mr. Trivedi's biofield energy treatments led him to say, "I see him as the completion of what India has brought to the world in modern scientific terms. … Science is the religion of the world. It's going to be very tough for the establishment to hold onto old ideas. I think with Mr. Trivedi's potential, he may become a pioneer in loosening the grasp of old science" and "I have no doubt Mr. Trivedi will change the face of science and human well-being in my lifetime."
Mahendra Trivedi's work within the international scientific community is extensive and ongoing. This research constitutes an invaluable resource for scientists attempting to understand the power of consciousness, energy medicine and the human energy biofield. The Trivedi Effect® is being applied to a broad range of scientific fields to extend beyond and transcend the frontiers of the current scientific paradigm. By harnessing the potential and heightened capacity of the human biofield, Mr. Trivedi has successfully transformed living organisms and nonliving materials at the atomic, molecular and cellular structures to greatly enhance and alter the characteristics and behaviors of the treated specimen.
A study conducted at the California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute strongly supports the theory that the Trivedi Effect® energy has some sort of inherent intelligence that is capable of distinguishing and treating each recipient uniquely. This study assessed the impact of Mr. Trivedi's biofield energy healing treatments on a mixed sample of cancerous and noncancerous cells.
"The results suggest that the biofield treatment administered in the laboratory can induce cell death of brain cancer cells from a distance while at the same time promoting viability of normal brain cells. Such selective efficacy against cancer cells is the sought after 'holy grail' for novel experimental anti-cancer agents and makes this work all the more exciting."
- Garrett L. Yount, Ph.D.
There are a growing number of people who have participated in "Trivedi Master Wellness" Programs – designed so people could access firsthand the energy that powers the Trivedi Effect®. Reports from participants have been described as "life-changing" and "miraculous," with people claiming that the Energy Transmissions have brought about relief from debilitating illnesses, diseases and disorders such as sleep disorders, insomnia, sleep apnea, fatigue, chronic fatigue syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), attention deficit disorder (ADD), attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD), fibromyalgia, arthritis, chronic pain, muscle pain, joint pain, low libido, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), severe migraines, low energy and more. Others insist they have improved immune systems and greater self-healing abilities, including those suffering from cancer and those who have received chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
People have also noted significant improvements in their emotional and mental wellbeing, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), neurological disorders, psychological disorders, psychosomatic disorders, bipolar disorder, emotional trauma, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), stress, social anxiety disorder, panic attacks, anorexia nervosa, anorexia bulimia, low self-esteem, loneliness, uncertainty, worry, mood swings, indecisiveness, feelings of restlessness, dissatisfaction, boredom, hopelessness and worthlessness. Parents with children who have Autism Spectrum Disorders have observed visible and dramatic shifts in their children's mood, social interaction, awareness, environmental integration, behavior, and mental and emotional wellbeing.
Furthermore, people consistently report feeling greater calmness, happiness, compassion, love, affection, indescribable peace, empathy, inspiration, enthusiasm, motivation, spirituality, intuition, self-esteem, intelligence, pleasure, deeper relationships, altered perceptions and a love of life.
Mr. Trivedi claims no religious or spiritual affiliation and recommends everyone follow their own beliefs and inner guidance. However, some report the biofield energy treatments have deepened their religious faiths (Christianity, Catholicism, Protestant, Baptist, Judaism, Scientology, Hinduism and Buddhism). People have even insisted they have experienced Spiritual Awakenings by entering higher levels of consciousness, while others say they feel deeply connected Nature, Spirit and their souls, and have discovered their life's purpose. Yet others have found that the biofield energy treatments have created more profound experiences during spiritual practices, like yoga, meditation, and mindfulness, and greater progress along their Spiritual Journey. Many healers and health care industry workers discover heightened capabilities in areas such as Integrative Medicine, Holistic Medicine, Functional Medicine, Reiki, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Healing Touch, Energy Healing, and Energy Medicine, although Mr. Trivedi does not endorse any healing modality.
Mr. Trivedi has developed more than 100 Biofield Energy Healers from around the globe, whose abilities have been scientifically tested, measured, documented and published in international, peer-reviewed scientific journals. Ongoing research holds potential relief for people suffering from autoimmune disorders like Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Lupus, Crohn's disease, Celiac disease (gluten sensitivity), Lyme disease, Addison's disease, Autoimmune hepatitis, Dermatitis, Endometriosis, Graves' disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Interstitial cystitis (IC), Psoriasis, Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), diabetes, and Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and; as well as for inflammatory diseases like Heart Disease, high blood pressure, Allergies, Alzheimer's, Asthma, Eczema, Pancreatitis, and Acid Reflux. The mission statement of Trivedi Global, Inc. is to utilize the Trivedi Effect® to usher in a new era that integrates scientific research with consciousness to vastly improve the human condition and benefit humanity on a global scale. Currently, Mr. Trivedi is collaborating with an international, multi-billion-dollar research organization to study the impact of the Trivedi Effect® on revolutionary pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products with great promise for the treatment of immune disorders, inflammatory diseases, cancer and obesity; as well as for antiaging and overall health for the benefit of all humankind.

What Hath God Wrought: The Transformation of America, 1815-1848
Howe, Daniel Walker
Wahl, Jenny
Published by EH.NET (September 2008)
Daniel Walker Howe, What Hath God Wrought: The Transformation of America, 1815-1848. New York: Oxford University Press, 2007. xviii + 904 pp. $35 (cloth), ISBN: 978-0-19-507894-7.
Reviewed for EH.NET by Jenny Wahl, Department of Economics, Carleton College.
Innovations in transportation, improvements in communication, the fire of religion, and the rise of political parties: these are the themes of Daniel Walker Howe?s huge history of the period sandwiched by the War of 1812 and the Mexican War. The title?s initial clause replicates the earliest telegraphed message; like Samuel F.B. Morse, Howe deliberately eschews punctuation, leaving the reader to decide whether the phrase should end with a question mark or an exclamation point. Howe offers little original scholarship, but he has done his homework ? his footnotes display familiarity with virtually all of the major and many of the minor works of economic, political, cultural, and just plain history regarding the early republic. Part lively anecdote, part tedious generalization, this newest tome in the Oxford History of the United States provides a good overview for the general reader and a rich resource for scholars seeking citations to original research.
Howe casts the first half of the nineteenth century as a struggle between Democrats and Whigs over the future of America; he devotes more than half of the twenty chapters primarily to politics. Howe clearly favors the Whig emphasis on ?qualitative economic improvement? rather than the Democrats? pursuit of ?quantitative expansion of territory? (p. 706), calling the Whigs the ?party of America?s future? (p. 612). His admiration for John Quincy Adams is apparent, his disdain for Andrew Jackson palpable. He frequently laments what might have been had the Whigs prevailed politically. (See for example pp. 283, 689-90.) In a somewhat heavy-handed metaphor, Howe likens the Democrats to the mythical ?frontier marksman? while noting that the Whig-like artillery actually won wars (pp. 17-18, 65).
Much of the story is linear, although some chapters tackle specific topics. Chapters 5, 8, 12, and 16 largely concern religion, for example. Aside from politics and religion, the book is a kaleidoscope of well-worn subjects ? the Erie Canal, the Monroe Doctrine, the case of McCulloch v. Maryland, the Missouri Compromise, utopian societies, Cherokee removal, the Charles River Bridge case, the Bank War, the Amistad, Transcendentalism, the California gold rush, the Irish potato blight. Howe is at his best when depicting battles ? soldiers shivering in the chilly mist covering New Orleans (prologue), and Winfield Scott brilliantly advancing upon Veracruz, Chapultepec, and Cerro Gordo as Santa Anna hastily departs without his prosthetic leg (chapter 19). Vignettes of individuals well-known (Sojourner Truth, Eli Whitney) and obscure (John Ball, Anthony Trollope?s mother) work well as windows on wider subjects. His forays into demography and economics, in contrast, mostly generate yawns (chapter 14, for instance).
Still, the alert reader can enjoy numerous nuggets: 80 percent of New Englanders bathed at most once a year (p. 32), the anti-Masons held the first national political convention (p. 269), Methodists outnumbered Catholics in the U.S. before the Civil War (p. 201), more Americans read newspapers in 1822 than any other national group (p. 227), illegal immigration from the U.S. plagued Mexico in the nineteenth century (p. 660), long-distance chess games revealed the interactive capability of the telegraph (p. 696), Secretary of State James Monroe led a scouting party for redcoats during the War of 1812 (p. 64), the Liberty Bell cracked while tolling for Chief Justice John Marshall?s funeral (p. 439). I enjoyed the reminder of Andrew Jackson arriving at the White House on horseback and departing by train, and of the redundant Battle of New Orleans ? what a pity the Treaty of Ghent preceded the invention of the telegraph and the laying of the trans-Atlantic cable. Some statistics Howe tosses out deserve a little more commentary, however: is it really surprising that the desertion rate in the Mexican War doubled that for the Vietnam conflict, given geography (p. 751)? And is it possible that annual per capita alcohol consumption totaled 7 gallons in the early part of the nineteenth century (p. 167) simply because widespread water purification did not exist?
Howe occasionally draws apt modern-day comparisons. Andrew Jackson?s serial replacement of Treasury secretaries until Roger Taney did his bidding with banks indeed resembles Richard Nixon?s Saturday night massacre (pp. 387-88). At times the comparisons seem forced, however. Is Thomas Jefferson?s dying in debt really comparable to our current account deficit (pp. 60-61)? Can today?s developing countries truly count on democracy flourishing during transitions just because it did for America two centuries ago (pp. 849-50)?
Quirky statements and viewpoints appear periodically as well. ?The Americans forgot about Canada (as they usually do) … (p. 519).? The acquisition of California ?enabled a strong stand to be taken against the aggressions of Imperial Japan in the 1940s. God moves in mysterious ways, and He is certainly capable of bringing good out of evil (p. 811).? How does Howe know that ?[a] family farm worked best when husband and wife cooperated closely and accorded each other mutual respect (p. 36)?? If he considers the term ?Jacksonian democracy? ?inappropriate? (p. 4), why does he use it to title chapter 11? And, although the telegraph certainly conveyed ideas quickly so as to help unify political parties and to spread the word of abolitionists (pp. 242, 646), Howe misses the chance to point out that the lack of centralized, authoritarian control over the dissemination of information is what made this possible in America. Perhaps the Democrats? emphasis on individuality had its merits after all.
Ultimately, this sprawling book (winner of the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for History) is a worthwhile read, despite its uneven nature. Just don?t try it in one sitting.

Athangudi Tile Factory
Located in the Chettinad region of Southern Tamil Nadu, Karaikudi is the largest township in the Sivagangai District. Karaikudi is also the capital of Chettinad and is famous for its culture and impressive tourist attractions. With magnanimous mansions and palatable local cuisine along with colourful cultural heritage, a holiday spent in Karaikudi will definitely be a time well-spent. Apart from all of these aspects, what makes Karaikudi an important destination for people from all over the country is the Athangudi tiles.
Travelling about 24 kilometres on the occasionally potholed and otherwise smooth road away from the town centre of Karaikudi, you will reach Athangudi. It is one of the many small villages that form Karaikudi and is renowned for its handcrafted terracotta tiles across the country. Since ingenious crafts and art go into making the tiles, it cannot be bought from anywhere else other than Athangudi.
Over the years, Athangudi has become one of the most enterprising villages in Karaikudi where tile making has become the most distinctive local art. Tile making in Athangudi was a derivative of the affinity of the Chettiars who imported expensive and great-looking tiles from foreign countries, especially European countries. Later the Chettiars found that it was difficult and expensive to repair the tiles when damaged due to wear and tear and ageing. The severe lack of replacement tiles was another pressing issue that bogged the minds of the Chettiars who associated their social stature and reputation directly with the conditions of their mansions.
It was during such times the people of Athangudi set up the tile making cottage industry to meet the demands of the Chettiars. In order to make the tile match the cultural heritage and general affinity of the people living in this part of the country, they made the tiles with vibrant and strong colours with distinct patterns and designs.
Gradually, the tiles made in Athangudi became one of the most sought-after and preferred tiles in the whole country and people from across the breadth and length of the country started coming to Athangudi seeking these exceptional tiles. Athangudi tiles are a rare instance where the artistic styles of the East and West merge to produce something exceptionally well-deserving.
As the tiles are wholly handmade, its appeal further expands. For the Chettiars, the durability of the tiles was always an issue and hence, the major concern while making tiles was to address this particular matter. As the tiles have sustainable designs and eco-friendly making, it clearly scores well over others.
Even after decades of years, the traditional making of tiles has never been changed and it still used to make Athangudi tiles. It is quite easy to mistake Athangudi tiles for mosaic, but the most basic components of the tiles are cement. The tiles are made over glass surfaces to give it the best finish and look.
The Athangudi tile factory is the place where you can observe the famous tiles are being made. Witnessing the same, you will have all the answers you need to convince yourself why the tiles are the best. With over 200 years of experience, the factory still boasts as one of the best places where the local craft is its best form.

Perspectives in Chemistry:
Molecular – Supramolecular – Adaptive Chemistry
Jean-Marie Lehn
Molecular chemistry has developed a wide range of very powerful procedures for mastering the organisation of matter and building ever more complex molecules from atoms linked by covalent bonds.
Supramolecular chemistry lies beyond molecular chemistry. It aims at setting up highly complex chemical systems from molecular components held together by non-covalent intermolecular forces and effecting molecular recognition, catalysis and transport processes, on the basis of the molecular information stored in the covalent framework of the components.
A further step consists in the design of systems undergoing self-organization, i.e. systems capable of spontaneously generating well-defined functional supramolecular architectures by self-assembly from their components, thus behaving as programmed chemical systems. Chemistry may therefore also be considered as an information science, the science of informed matter.
Supramolecular chemistry is intrinsically a dynamic chemistry in view of the lability of the interactions connecting the molecular components of a supramolecular entity and the resulting ability of supramolecular species to exchange their components. These features may be extended to molecular chemistry when the molecular entity contains covalent bonds that may form and break reversibility, so as to allow a continuous change in constitution by reorganization and exchange of building blocks. These features define a Constitutional Dynamic Chemistry (CDC) covering both the molecular and supramolecular levels.
CDC introduces a paradigm shift with respect to constitutionally static chemistry. It takes advantage of dynamic diversity to allow variation and selection and operates on dynamic constitutional diversity in response to either internal or external factors to achieve adaptation.
The implementation of these concepts points to the emergence of adaptive and evolutive chemistry.

Indigenous Women's Fight For A Place In Politics
Story from News
For First Nations Women, The Fight For A Place In Politics Has Only Just Begun
"I still don't see myself as a politician," says Yvonne Weldon, glancing earnestly around the candlelit chambers of The Rose Hotel, where supporters in white shirts are packed shoulder-to-shoulder for her campaign rally, "but it's starting to sink in." Earlier in 2021 the Wiradjuri woman, who grew up in the inner-Sydney suburb of Redfern, became the first Aboriginal candidate for Lord Mayor of any major city in Australia.
Weldon comes from a proud tradition of activists and change-makers. Her aunt, Mum Shirl, co-founded the Aboriginal Legal Service and Aboriginal Medical Service, and her uncle Paul Coe, campaigned for the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in court, and as part of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy. "I've always been a part of the movement," Weldon reflects, "I was a child of the revolution, really."
But after 30 years of engaging with politics from the outside as an advocate for First Nations communities, survivors of domestic violence and disadvantaged young people, Weldon made the decision to dive in. Campaigning as an Independent, backed by a diverse team of candidates, Weldon is standing to make the City of Sydney Council more inclusive, to bring back affordable urban living, and to take effective action on the climate emergency.
Her goals clearly resonate with Sydneysiders: the atmosphere at The Rose is euphoric, and the rally has drawn a crowd as diverse as the city itself. "I just couldn't sit back and let things go on as they have been for the past 17 years. It's time for change," Weldon says, resolutely. She's not the only one who feels that way: Weldon is one of a growing number of First Nations women who are stepping into Australian politics, at the Local, State, and Federal arenas.

Yvonne Weldon is the first Aboriginal candidate for Lord Mayor of the City of Sydney
There are now more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in parliament at a Federal level than ever before, including Labor's Pat Dodson, Malarndirri McCarthy and Linda Burney, the Greens' Dorinda Cox and Lidia Thorpe, and the Liberals' Ken Wyatt. Tasmanian Senator Jacqui Lambie is also named as an Indigenous Parliamentarian by the Parliamentary Library, though that claim has been disputed.
So far, at least 12 First Nations candidates have been pre-selected to run in the next Federal election, which will take place before June 2022. Two-thirds of these are women. Linda Burney – Wiradjuri woman, Labor Party stalwart and the first Aboriginal woman to be elected to the House of Representatives as Member for Barton in 2016 – believes the progress is a result of affirmative action.
"I can only speak about the party that I'm part of, where we've had affirmative action for a very long time now," she says. "It's been very deliberate. So I don't think it's got anything to do with Indigeneity, I think it's got to do with affirmative action – including quotas."
Others, like West Australian Greens Senator, Noongar Bibulman and Yamatji woman Dorinda Cox, suggest that while systemic changes play a role, more First Nations women are rising to the challenges of modern politics. "I think it's partly by virtue of the gender targets, which parties have adopted to make the parliament a lot safer, given what happened to Britney Higgins, and the findings of the Foster Report. But I also think that there are lots of strong women who have been the backbones of our communities and our families for a really long time."
"Women are the leaders of our communities," confirms Greens Senator for Victoria, Gunnai Gunditjmara and Djab Wurrung woman Lidia Thorpe, "They have led a lot of our struggles and our fights. Women have always had a very big part to play in Blak society, and in keeping our communities safe."
But both Greens Senators are quick to emphasise that in Aboriginal culture, men and women share equal but complementary roles within the family unit, and in the community. "It works in a very complementary and harmonious way," says Cox. "So there's been an external influence on our communities that has enabled women to be elevated in the political space."

Dorinda Cox is the first female Aboriginal Senator from Western Australia
According to Burney, mentorship also plays an important role. "Generally in politics, you have a mentor: you don't make it on your own," she explains. "If there's someone with a commitment to you, a belief in you, who is senior in the party, who advocates for better representation – that's really important. And for me, that person has been Anthony Albanese."
There seems little question that opportunities for women in politics are evolving and expanding, and in ways that First Nations women have been quick to seize. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander woman Donisha Duff is standing as the Labor Candidate for Bowman in Queensland, after more than 20 years leading on policy and advocacy in the health sector.
Earlier in 2021, she took part in the Pathways to Politics Program for Women, which is administered by universities in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, to help women develop the knowledge and skills they need to run for public office.
"It's an absolutely invaluable program and I commend it to women. More than anything, it was the other women – candidates, former MPs or current MPs, from right across the political spectrum – who were willing to give their time to talk about their experiences and challenges. You have so many questions about how you manage your life, the travel, the impact on you and your family, the exposure you get in public forums. It also just demystifies the whole process of party preselection, and running a campaign."
As a woman, and as a First Nations person, you don't need men making decisions that impact you, because they will be wrong.
Donisha Duff
Duff acknowledges that more needs to be done to carve out space specifically for First Nations people: "We need to have a critical mass of First Nations women involved – whether as staffers or candidates or party officials – if we're going to change the climate of politics.
"As a woman, and as a First Nations person, you don't need men making decisions that impact you, because they will be wrong," Duff says. "They're not informed by lived experience, and they're not based on consultation."
The challenges don't end when First Nations women cross the threshold into political life. Research by PhD Candidate and Gomeroi woman Amy Thunig has identified that the labour of enacting commitments to 'inclusivity' and 'diversity' is all too often placed on the shoulders of First Nations people in the workplace. Although Thunig's research focuses on First Nations experiences in academia, her findings resonate strongly with politicians.
"I have said to my staff and my colleagues that I feel like the Cultural Awareness Advisor of the Parliament," Thorpe quips, dryly. "You know – do your homework, people! Don't be lazy. Get some information so that you're part of the solution, rather than bombarding individuals with questions."
"There are incredible resources out there, incredible Blak writers, social media accounts – the information is there. You've just gotta scratch the surface and find it - and ask other allies!" Thorpe points to Facebook group Allies decolonising as an example of "whitefellas educating whitefellas".
Organisations like Blak Business, Common Ground, and IndigenousX also share knowledge and educational resources, while many First Nations activists, educators, and journalists keep their followers updated on key issues.
"It is a constant state of education," agrees Dorinda Cox. "You're constantly having to talk to people about First Nations knowledge, correct them, be sure representation is not an afterthought or a 'side dish'."
Labor's Linda Burney acknowledges the extra work, but considers it part of her responsibility as a First Nations MP. "I don't find it burdensome," she says, "part of your job is to educate and bring people with you, and make sure that your party gets to a good place on some very complex and difficult issues."

Labor MP Linda Burney
Senator for the Northern Territory, Christmas and Cocos (Keeling) Islands Malarndirri McCarthy, a Yanyuwa Garawa woman, says the Labor Party established its First Nations Caucus so that all are responsible for finding a better way, especially in the decisions made in the Australian Parliament.
"While we have three First Nations people with Linda [Burney], Pat [Dodson] and I, the actual caucus has about 20 Members of Parliament from the Labor team," explains McCarthy. "Those members have either high numbers of Aboriginal people in their constituency, or high rates of issues that impact Aboriginal people in their electorate - or they just wish to learn."
Regardless of the challenges, each of these politicians view their experiences and identities as First Nations women as strengths, which lends them the power of purpose, resilience, and a clear-eyed view of the impacts that politics and legislation have on people's lives. Burney credits her Aboriginality with making her a better politician - but she warns that anyone who thinks that their identity alone is going to get them somewhere in politics, needs to think again.
"You get somewhere in politics because you demonstrate qualities that people respect, because you demonstrate integrity, so that your reputation stays intact. These are the fundamental principles that make a decent politician. I see my Aboriginality as part of who I am. It defines me - but it doesn't pigeonhole me."
The distinction is crucial for Kerrynne Liddle, South Australian Senate Candidate for the Liberal Party. "What often happens to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people is that they get pigeonholed. It's the idea that somehow because they are Indigenous, that's the only thing that they could or should be speaking about," she said.
"That's just not the case, and I think that diminishes the contributions that people with a breadth and depth of experience can bring to the table, beyond their Indigeneity."

Greens Senator Lidia Thorpe
It's a sentiment that Thorpe echoed in her maiden speech in the Parliament of Victoria in 2017, as the first Aboriginal woman to be elected to the lower house, when she said, "being Aboriginal is not all I am, but it's the centre of who I am."
These women are some of the first from Indigenous communities to make their mark in their respective electorates, but with their fierce leadership already making an enduring impact, they surely won't be the last.

DNC celebrates progress under Obama on marriage equality anniversary
The DNC celebrated the one year anniversary of marriage equality with a video highlighting progress over the past eight years under Obama.
By Jeff Taylor Monday, June 27, 2016

Sunday, June 26 marked the one year anniversary of marriage equality in the United States, with the Supreme Court's Obergefell v. Hodges ruling making it the law of the land.
In celebration, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) released a video reflecting on eight years of LGBTQ rights progress under the Obama administration.
June 26 was also the anniversary of three other landmark Supreme Court decisions: U.S. v. Windsor (2013), which struck down DOMA, Hollingsworth v. Perry (2013), which found California's Proposition 8 unconstitutional, and Lawrence v. Texas (2003), which struck down sodomy laws.
"LGBT Americans have seen tremendous progress under President Obama, and we can't afford to go backwards. There is more work to be done to achieve full equality," said DNC spokesperson TJ Helmstetter in a press release. "We need to enact the Equality Act to prevent discrimination in employment, housing, and public accommodations. We need to prevent and reverse anti-gay and anti-trans legislative efforts like HB2 and so-called religious freedom legislation that would allow businesses and government officials to discriminate against our community. That's why it's so important to defeat Donald Trump and elect a Democrat as the next President of the United States to continue to build on President Obama's remarkable pro-LGBT record."
The video features President Obama announcing legislative accomplishments, such as signing the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crime Prevention Act and the re-authorization of the Ryan White Care Act, as well as marking important milestones while in office, such as the aforementioned ruling legalizing same-sex marriage.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch also features prominently in the video, with clips taken from the press conference announcing the Department of Justice (DOJ) was suing the state of North Carolina over HB2.
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are both campaigning to get the LGBTQ vote, with Trump claiming he is better for women and "the gays" than his Democratic rival. Clinton begs to differ.

Driver who rammed barbecue joint was drunk, deputies say
Mike Clary, Sun Sentinel
When Juan Jose Cavallo showed up Thursday for his first lunch at Father & Son's Smoke Til-U-Choke Bar-BQ, he thought the food might be so tasty that people were trying to break in to get it.
The front door was bent from its hinges, an iron gate ripped from the ground, a hole punched in the concrete wall and the bushes were toppled and nearly uprooted.
"Strange," said Cavallo, 21, as he tucked into a plate of ribs, chicken and collard greens.
Yet the damage to the restaurant at 2941 W. Sunrise Boulevard near Fort Lauderdale was not caused by a hungry customer, but a wrong-way driver who now faces five charges, including DUI and driving with a suspended license, according to Broward sheriff's deputies.
Jason Jagdeo Basdeo, 30, was heading west in the eastbound lanes of West Sunrise Boulevard at about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday when his red Toyota jumped the median, veered across three lanes of traffic and plowed into the restaurant, authorities said.
When deputies arrived, Basdeo was standing beside his disabled vehicle, complaining of an abrasion on his left forearm caused by the inflation of the airbag, deputies said.
Basdeo failed a roadside sobriety test, officials said, then registered a .172 on a breath test, more than double the legal limit.
In first-appearance court Wednesday, Broward County Judge John "Jay" Hurley noted that in addition to having no driver's license, Basdeo had no insurance and three unpaid traffic tickets.
A public defender told Hurley that the Fort Lauderdale man was married, had a 1-year-old child and had lived in South Florida all his life. "Well, married, a 1-year-old child, and allegedly driving on the wrong side of the road around midnight," remarked Hurley. "OK."
The judge set bond at $3,500.
At the restaurant, owners Rosita and Reggie Cross estimated that repairing the damage to the restaurant they opened seven months ago would cost at least $3,000.
"I was devastated when I saw this," said Reggie Cross. "Business has been booming, and I wouldn't want anybody to think from the appearance that we're not open."
On Thursday afternoon, as chef Eddie Green tended slabs of pork ribs on the huge parking lot grill, the clouds of billowing barbecue smoke signaled that Father & Son's was definitely open.
"We are going to fight through this with the best home cooking around," said Cross, 47, a standout basketball player at South Plantation High School who was drafted by the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers in 1989. "Ribs, mac and cheese, coleslaw, baked beans, all homemade.
"Poeple love it so much they want to drive in even when we're closed."

Freshii is a Health and Wellness Brand That Leads with Nutrition
By: Helen Bond | 4,507 Reads 7 Shares
Freshii is taking the global healthy fast-casual restaurant segment by storm. With the goal to change the way people eat, along with a lot of competitive moxie, Freshii has grown to over 400 restaurants in over 15 countries.
"Our mission is to help the citizens of the world live better by making healthy food convenient and affordable," says Michael F. Pandich, Jr., director of Global Franchise Development, whose U.S. head office is in Chicago. "Everything we do at Freshii must support our mission. If it doesn't, we don't spend a minute thinking about it – we won't waste our time," he says. "We are focused not only on creating an exceptional guest experience but also making Freshii ownership for our franchise partners convenient and affordable as well."
Fast growing Freshii serves up a healthy nutrition led and customizable menu of breakfast, soups, salads, wraps, bowls, burritos, frozen yogurt, juices, and smoothies. The eco-friendly brand's 'secret sauce' has an eye on constant menu innovation, that has created a cult fan following. Think Zara for foodies: an innovative nutrition focused menu that introduces global health trends and brings healthy meal options to the masses.
"We see where the food trends are going throughout the world and update our menu every 90 days or so," says Pandich. "Our menu innovation team, guided by our Lead Nutritionist, is constantly exploring the latest trends, and then finding ways to bring them into our menu in a convenient and affordable fashion."
Matthew Corrin, Freshii's founder, and CEO, was working for fashion designer Oscar De La Renta when he became inspired by New York "mom-and-pop" delis that offered fresh food, but lackluster service and branding. Corrin launched Freshii in 2005 to "add magic" to the fresh food business in a scalable, branded model. What Starbucks did for the coffee commodity, Freshii is doing for produce. Along the way, the franchise has redefined the fast-casual space as a health and wellness brand that leads with nutrition.
Freshii is "an experiential brand, not a transactional brand," says Pandich. "Our guests love the total Freshii experience. Because of our broad and diverse menu, they can eat at Freshii several times a week, have something completely different on each visit, and love the experience."
The brand credits devout repeat customers that crave Freshii's food as a key ingredient in its meteoric success. Freshii, who up to this year has not spent a dime on franchise advertising, is unafraid to take on the big brands. Open letters to join the brand's quest to bring health and wellness to the masses penned to Subway and McDonald's, and the recent stand against expensive coffee culture with the introduction of the "best $1 cup of coffee," are just examples of Freshii's friendly competitive fire.
"We are a disruptor," Pandich says. "We aren't afraid to be edgy."
Freshii, which went public in 2017 on the Toronto Stock Exchange in Canada, is taking the same bold approach to franchise expansion as a "brand of choice." With no need for large kitchen equipment, the concept offers a strong, yet simple operational model that is flexible and affordable. With stores ranging from 300 square feet to 3,000 square feet, Freshii works in big cities, small towns, college campuses, malls, and airports. The brand seeks to expand in key U.S. cities with carefully selected, passionate franchise partners who are fully aligned with the company's vision and operating principals.
"We receive thousands of applications each year from individual entrepreneurs who want to be part of what we have created here at Freshii. But we are also looking for experienced multi-unit franchise owners of other restaurant brands who are looking to diversify their own portfolio to be in the healthy space," Pandich says. "We are not in the business of opening stores, we are in the business of running great stores." Freshii is looking to build out key U.S. markets in 2019 where they operate stores today, such as Chicago, Boston, Minneapolis, Dallas, and Charlotte.
In return, the brand promises strong franchisor support guided by the triple bottom line: People, Profit, and Planet. This unwavering commitment by Freshii to help its franchise partners be successful has led to 19 consecutive quarters of impressive same-store sales growth. "There are several levers we can move in our business to help increase same-store sales," says Pandich. "This helps our partners achieve a solid ROI on their investment and has helped them to open more stores faster." Approximately 30 percent of Freshii's new store openings come from existing franchise partners.
"By focusing on our mission and the Triple Bottom Line, everyone wins," says Pandich. "Our guests are happy, our franchise partners are positioned to make money, and we stand to benefit from the increased royalty stream created by the sales growth. Isn't that what franchising is all about?"

Sheriff Grady Judd: 'Sick Creeps Like This Are Out There'
Filed Under:#FloridaMan, 10 year old, Aggravated Cyberstalking, arrest, Child Pornography, Extortion, Facebook, Florida, Grady Judd, Lake Wales, PCSO, polk county, Sheriff's Office, Simon "Pete" Anderson
Credit: PCSO/CW44 News At 10
POLK COUNTY (PCSO/CW44 News At 10) – The Polk County Sheriff's Office arrested a Lake Wales man on Tuesday, June 16, 2020, after an investigation showed that he manipulated, threatened, and extorted a 10-year-old girl into sending him nude images of herself.
19-year-old Simon "Pete" Anderson used the social-media platform Facebook to communicate with the victim, and he admitted to knowing that the girl was only 10-years-old.
The investigation began on April 30th when a parent of another child was told that Anderson was sending the girl photos of his penis.
During a forensic interview with the victim, she revealed that Anderson (whose Facebook account used the name Pete Anderson), had sent her inappropriate messages and pictures of his penis.
The PCSO Computer Crimes Unit searched the victim's cell phone and discovered multiple messages and images that had been sent from Anderson's Facebook account.

The messages on the phone revealed Anderson's aggressive efforts with the victim. He tried coercing her into sending him nude pictures of herself by threatening to report her to law enforcement, as well as threatening to kill her and himself if she didn't comply. The girl admitted to sending Anderson photos because she was in fear of his threats.
When a PCSO detective from the Special Victims Unit interviewed Anderson, he admitted that he sent her images of his penis. He told the detective that they were "kind of in a relationship, but not really." He claimed that he didn't want to send her the photos of his penis, but he did so, "to be nice."
"As a parent, this kind of a story has got to break your heart, scare you, and make you angry, all at the same time. Sick creeps like this are out there folks…going after innocent children. This is exactly why I say that parents need to be all-up in their child's business. You need to monitor who they're communicating with online." – Grady Judd, Sheriff.
Simon Anderson was arrested and transported to the Polk County Jail. He was charged with:
Extortion (F2)
Possession of Child Pornography (F3)
3-counts of Transmitting Material Harmful to a Child (F3)
Aggravated Cyberstalking (F3)
The investigation is ongoing. Anderson's electronic storage devices were collected, and they will be searched. Any additional evidence found on those devices could lead to additional charges.

Enrollment on the rise at Saint Joseph Seminary College
by By Vanessa Crouere, Contributor
When Saint Joseph Seminary College began a new school year in the fall of 1978, the student body included some 120 seminarians.
Then, with the beginning of the next school year in 1979, the enrollment dropped to 111. The years that followed saw a continued decline, an experience shared by most seminaries in the United States.
So when classes began on Aug. 26 with an enrollment of 121 students after a 35-year decline, it was a notable cause of joy and thanksgiving. The last three years had brought increases, but none as noteworthy as this. Still, the increase was not without its complications.
Among the students are four from the Diocese of Corpus Christi—Oscar Chaparro, Richard Gutierrez, Charles Silvas and Marc Joseph Zamora.
Although the seminary college was already in the process of renovating in order to provide living space for more seminarians, the larger number this year took all by surprise.
"When the school year began last year we had to ask the monks to house 18 seminarians in the monastery until temporary living space was ready," Father Gregory Boquet, OSB, President-Rector, said. "Little did we suspect that this year would find us asking the same thing; but it is a problem I'm glad to have."
Some differences exist, however, between the seminary enrollment of the present and that of 35-years ago. Then the majority of the seminarians were from the dioceses of Louisiana. Now, St. Joseph's draws students from 20 dioceses. Among the fifty-seven new students are 36 seminarians from Texas, seven from Georgia, eight from Mississippi, eight from Alabama and one student studying for Saint Joseph Abbey.
Another difference is one that has been developing over the past years. This is the number of students who are entering after having had some college experience. Only 16 new students are entering college for the first time, while 35 have had one or two years of college. Six are in pre-theology studies, having already received a Bachelor's degree.
In the mid 1970s, the seminary college began a program in English as a Second Language to accommodate the large number of Vietnamese-speaking students. As overall enrollment decreased, so did the number of students in this program. This year the English as a Second Language program has also seen a rise in numbers, but now the difference is that the majority of students enrolled are native Spanish-speakers.
"We are grateful to God for this increase of 'laborers into the vineyard,' and pray that it continues" Father Boquet said. "May their years here at St. Joseph Seminary College prepare these men to be good servants for God's people."

The Analogue Pocket is packed with features but won't ship until 2021
Our dream Gameboy clone is shaping up to be even better than we hoped. That means it's taking longer than expected to become a reality.
The Analogue Pocket — which we've been gushing about since our first tease of it in October — is finally shaping up to be a reality. There is a catch, though: you'll need to wait nearly a year to actually hold the device in your hands.
After a fairly long silence on the matter, Analogue today released more details about the Analogue Pocket, the sleek handheld game console that promises out-of-the-box support for emulating Nintendo's Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Sega's Game Gear, Atari's Lynx, and the Neo Geo Pocket. Also, as we suspected, the company announced that pre-orders for the device will open up on August 3, 2020, with a limit of two Pockets per order.
There is some bad news. The Analogue Pocket won't be shipping until May 2021 — a long time to wait for your preorder to arrive in the mail, especially considering it would really come in handy during the ongoing pandemic.
There's a good reason Analogue is taking its time with the Pocket, though. The company wants to get it right. Emulators aren't exactly difficult to come by in 2020, but FPGA hardware emulators that look this good and work this well in such a small package are literally non-existent.
Play all day — For starters, the Pocket has a 4300 mAh battery, promising six to ten hours of gameplay time. That's much more than you'd get from our other favorite handheld, the Nintendo Switch.
Pocket can also be put to sleep with a quick press of the power button, suspending gameplay until you're ready to come back.
And with friends — Pocket will come with built-in multiplayer support, both through the accompanying Dock — which we still don't know all that much about — and via cables that will be sold separately.
Original Display Modes — Playing your favorite retro games is all well and good, but what about the experience of squinting at the Game Boy's dense green display?
Analogue has you covered there, too. The device's Original Display Modes feature allows you to switch the display over to look just like you're playing on its original console.
Wait, you can make music with this thing too? — Analogue also announced today that it's expanded the Pocket's horizons to include music-making.
The company is producing custom, high-quality MIDI and Analog sync cables to connect the Pocket to your hardware using Nanoloop, the system's built-in synthesizer program.
Good news for devs — Along with more details about the device's specs, Analogue also announced some select details about how programmers and designers will be able to create their own games for the Pocket.
That includes a partnership with GB Studio that allows users to create their own retro-style games with "zero" programming knowledge and then export them to proprietary .pocket files to run on the console.
Analogue is also launching an FPGA developer program today. The company will send out free dev kits to "suitable developers" later this year.
We'll grumble a little about the year's wait for it to ship, but the blow is muted by just how cool the Pocket promises to be. And when it does finally make it to our doorsteps, we'll probably never put it down.

All-in-one thin client has 21-inch screen
Mar 26, 2010 — by Jonathan Angel — from the LinuxDevices Archive — 35 views
Igel announced a new all-in-one thin client that runs Linux. The UD9 includes a 21.5-inch display, a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, plus an optional touchscreen, wireless networking, and a smart card reader, the company says.
According to Igel, its new UD9 employs an unspecified Atom processor clocked at 1.6GHz, running either Linux or Windows Embedded Standard. The amount of random access memory and storage was not specified, but the device is said to have a 21.5-inch display with optional touchscreen capabilities, while wireless networking and a smart card reader are also available.
Igel says the thin client's "Advanced Pack" firmware allows it to connect to almost any application or peripheral. It includes support for Microsoft's RDP (remote desktop protocol), Citrix's ICA (independent computing architecture), Adobe's Flash, NoMachine NX, and a native SAP GUI, according to the company. The device is also claimed to be compatible with VMWare View and Leostream VDI.
As the right-hand photo below shows, the UD9 has an Ethernet port, four USB 2.0 ports, two serial ports, a parallel port, two PS/2 ports, and a VGA output for an external monitor. The device also appears to have a jack that can supply 12VDC power to an external device, though its purpose was not specified.
Igel's 21-inch UD9
(Click either image to enlarge)
We were initially confused by today's announcement of the UD9 because Igel released an earlier model with the same name at the beginning of 2009. That model offered the same OS options, but had a 19-inch screen and a 1GHz AMD Sempron 2100+ CPU.
Igel explains that this earlier UD9 incarnation, known as the UD9 720 LX (Linux) and UD9 720 ES (Windows Embedded Standard, was based on Samsung's 930XT thin client, a model that has now been discontinued. Purchasers who still want a 19-inch display may buy Samsung's current model, the TC190, then upgrade it via Igel's available firmware, the company says.
The new, larger UD9, whose manufacturer was not cited, will be known as the UD9 730 LX and UD9 730 ES, the company says. The systems will be available in May, for prices that have yet to be confirmed, Igel adds.
Igel's product page for the UD9 still contains information primarily relating to the discontinued UD9 720 LX and UD 720 ES. Information on the newer UD9 730 LX and UD9 730 ES may eventually be found on the manufacturer's website, here.
