Home Canadian History Fleury Mesplet Revolutionary Founder of "The Montreal Gazette"
Fleury Mesplet Revolutionary Founder of "The Montreal Gazette"
Château Ramezay, 1900-1925
Born Joseph Fleury de Mesplet in France, learned the printing craft in Lyon, worked in London and Philadelphia, established "The Montreal Gazette".
Perhaps because of poor economic conditions in France, Fleury Mesplet (1734-1794) and his wife Marie moved to London, England where he opened a printing shop near Covent Garden in 1773.
Fleury Mesplet and Benjamin Franklin
Certainly aware of the increasing conflict between Great Britain and the colonies, he may have met Benjamin Franklin in England. As Colonial representative, Franklin admired the English and thought of remaining there, but eventually became disillusioned. It is likely that Franklin, also a printer, encouraged Mesplet to move to Philadelphia where he established a partnership with a local printer in 1774.
In 1775, Fleury Mesplet printed, "Letter to the Inhabitants of the Province of Québec, Formerly Known as Canada, from the First Colonial Congress Held in Philadelphia". That bold attempt to draw the citizens into action against the British was mostly ignored.
Printer in Montreal During American Revolution
Fleury Mesplet accompanied Benjamin Franklin's delegation sent to Montreal in an unsuccessful attempt to persuade Quebecers to support their cause. They arrived with a printing press and all supplies necessary for Mesplet to print propaganda on behalf of the Continental Congress.
One of the Continental Army's early plans at the onset of the American Revolution was to capture Quebec and convince the people to join the Thirteen Colonies. The Americans occupied Montreal from November 1775, with their officers stationed at the Chateau de Ramezay, but failed in their attempt to take Quebec City.
Mesplet remained in Montreal in 1776 when the Americans left, and moved his press to the Chateau de Ramezay, before he was briefly imprisoned for his activities on behalf of the revolutionaries. In 1778, he opened a printing shop and founded Gazette du Commerce et Littéraire (Commercial and Literary Gazette).
With journalist-editor Valentin Jautard, Mesplet developed the weekly paper into an educational tool and a forum for debate. Mesplet's main revenue during that period was from sale of the papers and copies of books he published, as there were very few advertisers.
Publication of the paper ceased in June 1779 when Mesplet and Jautard were convicted of sedition and imprisoned for three years. When Governor Frederick Haldimand approved a lottery to raise money for construction of a new Montreal jail in 1783, the lottery managers hired Mesplet to print the 13,000 tickets.
Fleury Mesplet Begins "The Montreal Gazette"
Fleury Mesplet began publication of La Gazette de Montreal/The Montreal Gazette in 1785, with the first edition almost completely in French. Until his death in 1787, Jautard provided translation into English, and by 1788 the paper was completely bilingual. It displayed pages with all sorts of advertisements and notices, and became a profitable business.
With local and foreign news, La Gazette covered subjects such as literature, religion, and education. Advocating for the establishment of a legislative assembly in Quebec, Mesplet openly criticized the Bishop for opposing new ideas related to education. Having begun as a French-language newspaper, The Gazette evolved over the years to become Montreal's only English-language daily.
Fleury Mesplet was not only a master printer; he was also one of 18th-century Canada's more enlightened thinkers.

Besides adding many supplements for hair loss in women in daily diet, the selection of the shampoo is also one of the key determinant factors. Vitamins must be one of the key ingredients; they work better on removing the scalp from dead follicles. Besides this all other harmful substances that may cause hair fall will be removed.
Another supplement for hair loss in women is extracted from nettle roots. They stop the hair fall by blocking any damage to the hormones. This way not only current hair fall stops but for future, hair growth becomes better. Lavender oil is good for stopping hair fall among women. Their natural affects completely stops the hair fall from scratch.
Besides positive impacts, there are some negative effects of these supplements also. If you are already on some medications, pregnant or have some health problem, it is better to take medical doctors' advice before starting any supplements for hair loss in women. According to some medical facts, the moderate amount of Vitamins intake is beneficial for the normal functioning of body and hair. If they are less than some desired amount, 5,000 IU, they become main cause of hair fall among women. On the contrary, if they exceed the normal limit of 25,000 IU, they can again give rise to Hair fall. Therefore the proper proportion of the supplements must be kept in mind and advice from doctors is necessary before starting any supplement for hair loss in women. Many other supplements taken for the treatment of any illness, acne problems and many other issues can cause hair loss as one of their side effects.

Are you selling your business? Do you own a business or just a salary? In economics, a business (also called firm or enterprise) is a legally recognized organizational entity designed to provide goods or services to consumers. However, the economic definition is based only on legal recognition. If your business only provides you (as the owner) a salary and no other current or future economic benefit such as appreciation or dividends, then your business may only be a salary and not an investment.
In my opinion, a business should be closer to an investment than a salary for it to be potentially more valuable (and therefore more marketable or liquid) to someone else. An investor has a reasonable expectation that, at some point in the future, the asset he built or purchased can be sold or resold for more than he invested. Even a reasonable investor that leverages debt to build or acquire the business (and does not make an equity investment of cash or other assets) would expect a return of his sweat equity upon the sale of the business and full repayment of all its debts.
So when is a salary a business? As a rule (and there are always exceptions to any rule), a salary is a business when it is excessive or above fair market. That is, when you as a business owner, can replace yourself with someone equally skilled and seasoned for far less money than you pay yourself, then you may have a business. The problem arises when you have too much personal goodwill in your business. Though you may replace yourself, if your reputation is largely inextricable from your business, then upon your death, disability or retirement, you may not be able to sell your business. Branding yourself, documenting your "know-how" and training your workforce are some ways you can transfer your personal goodwill to the business (and making it business goodwill).
So when is a business only a salary? As a rule, a business is only a salary when you pay yourself a fair market salary or less. However, though you may pay yourself more than fair market, if your excess compensation is less than what you would receive as a return on your business for an equally risky investment, then you may only have a salary. So if you only made a 5% return on your business, for example, and an equally risky investment should return 15%, then like any investment that is underperforming, it is less valuable (and may be only valuable as a salary). Comparing how similar businesses or asset classes in your industry perform (relative to size and growth) is a good measure of return on investment.
As a business valuation and forensic CPA, I use two sniff tests or sanity checks to determine if the business is a business or just a salary. My first sniff test is economic profit. Economic profit is the difference between return on investment and the weighted average cost of the investment, which includes both the cost of debt and equity capital after you pay yourself a reasonable salary. This value has to be positive. If it is positive, growing and greater than your competitors, you may have a valuable business. My second sniff test is return on equity. Simply, your return on equity should be at least equal to the risk of your investment. If the risk is 10%, for example, and you are returning 20%, then you may have a valuable business.
Despite the distinction between a salary and a business, there are buyers for both. People often buy businesses only to replace their salaries. The bottom line: businesses are more liquid and generally sell for more than salaries because they are seen by the market as investments that provide a reasonable salary and return.

A series of short films profiling street-level entrepreneurs in NYC
Ep 04: Art Hustle
Stu 'Art' Gray by New York Hustle June 28, 2021 June 29, 2021
Musician and artist Stu 'Art' Gray shapes cult figures from clay by commission
Stuart Gray is best known in the rock 'n' roll underground as Stu Spasm. As the former leader of Australian band Lubricated Goat and current leader of New York band The Art Gray Noizz Quintet, he has carved a noise rock niche on both sides of the globe and built a reputation as a bit of a rogue.
Born in England and raised in South Australia in a community comprised primarily of British expats, Stu spent most of the 1980s living off dole payments in Melbourne and Sydney before moving to the US in the early '90s. Lubricated Goat had records released locally through noted labels like Amphetamine Reptile in Minneapolis, Sub Pop in Seattle and Sympathy for the Record Industry in Long Beach, CA, but when Stu made the decision to base himself Stateside, he gravitated towards the big smoke of New York City.
"When I first came here I thought about moving to LA, San Fran and even Chicago, but an apartment opportunity made it easy for me to begin living in NY," he said.
In "New York, New York", Frank Sinatra sang, "If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere." But it's worth noting that Ol' Blue Eyes had solid mob connections to give him a leg up. Most New York musicians are not so lucky and can't rely on music alone to pay the bills.
"I can't make money out of music because there are not enough people into what I do," Stu lamented. "And I need to travel more and have some management or hype."
Stu found that one way to earn extra income was by using his artistic talents to make and sell sculptures, which he had started to do when he still lived in Australia. Typically, his sculptures are of cult heroes and villains ranging from musicians to murderers, and he's also done a few writers like William Burroughs, Charles Bukowski, Hunter S. Thompson and H. P. Lovecraft. Recent commissions include Suzi Quatro, Neil Diamond and Dave Mustaine from Megadeth.
His figurines, which are made from Smooth-On epoxy putty and finished with acrylic paints, are distinctive and unique, which he puts down to a lack of any formal artistic training.
"I remember when I was a kid, reading articles about bands like the Rolling Stones or Led Zeppelin, and they would always say they went to art school," he recalled. "I was like, what the fuck is art school? I didn't know there was such a thing; my parents didn't tell me that there was.
"But some artists have told me: 'It's good to have no training because then your own style comes out'. My sculptures may be distinctive because they reflect my personality in the same way everything I do does.
"Everything I do artistically, sculpting or painting, you can automatically tell that I did it, because it's got a certain wonky quality, which I like."
"I've found it's better for me to do things kinda slapdash and not try to make them too fancy, because then my own style and humour comes through."
When our camera caught up with Stu, he was in the process of completing a sculpture of folk/blues legend Leadbelly that had been commissioned by a good friend, Julie Unruly of NYC punk band High & Tight.
"This is the best Leadbelly I can make," said Stu. "Julie seemed very happy with the sculpture, which is good 'cos no matter how I try, they still end up the same. I'm usually satisfied with the end result, but the recurring theme generally is that I should have got paid more because it takes a long time to make a sculpture like Leadbelly."
So, what's on the horizon for NYC's wonkiest sculptor?
"I'm going to make Howlin' Wolf next," he said. "That's not for anybody else, I just decided I might make Howlin' Wolf; I think it would be a good one."

We have decided to peacefully mobilize to enforce international resolutions, beginning with UN Resolution 194 regarding the return of Palestinian refugees to their homes and lands. We have also reached the conclusion that the only dependable power is that of the people, especially after the failure of the Palestinian leadership to unite despite the existential threat posed by the Trump administration's so-called "deal of the century" which aims to liquidate the Palestinian cause once and for all.
The struggle against apartheid in South Africa and the American civil rights movement have inspired us. We also draw on a history of popular resistance in Palestine, including the 1936 strike and later uprisings in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and Israel. That is why we view the Great March of Return as an act of collective mass action against Israel's settler-colonialism and apartheid.
Most participants in the Great March of Return demand a complete break with the Oslo process and its vision of a Bantustan alongside a Jewish state that practices racism against its own people. This is why we tend to believe that the Great March of Return has the potential to revive the concepts of national liberation and self-determination by addressing the new facts on the ground that Israel created.
These realities have rendered it impossible to establish an independent, sovereign Palestinian state on 22% of the land of historic Palestine. Therefore, the time has come for a decisive struggle for freedom, equality, and justice. After all, two-thirds of Gaza residents are refugees whose rights to both return and reparations are guaranteed by international law.

Idina Menzel 'Would Love' to Play Lea Michele's Mom in Glee
by Broadway.com Staff • Dec 3, 2009
It's a pairing with the potential to cause cardiac arrest in musical theater fans nationwide: Idina Menzel as the birth mother of Rachel, the singing high school diva played by Lea Michele in Glee. According to an interview with Menzel's husband Taye Diggs on Fancast.com, the Tony-winning Wicked star is game. "I know that she would love that," Diggs said. "[Appearing on Glee] would be awesome."
During her Spring Awakening run, Michele spoke about her dream of appearing in Wicked on Broadway, and she sang Elphaba's anthem "Defying Gravity" on Glee. The character of Rachel is said to have gay dads, but so far, the character's parents have not appeared on the show.
In the Fancast interview, Diggs said that Menzel and Michele "are fans of each other" and that he and Menzel saw the younger actress in Spring Awakening. The couple records Glee every week and are "so happy to see a lot of these theater kids [like Michele] get the opportunity to do some television work."
Diggs is part of the cast of the ABC medical series Private Practice. He and Menzel are parents of a baby boy, Walker Nathaniel Diggs, born on September 3. The couple met when they played Maureen and Benny in the original cast of Rent.


SCOTT KEELER | Times Bishop Gregory L. Parkes, Diocese of St. Petersburg, addresses parishioners during his installment, Cathedral of St. Jude the Apostle, St. Petersburg. FOR FILE.
The United States was built on the shoulders of immigrants and refugees who came to this country seeking freedom, work and refuge from violence. Yet, at the current moment, our rich history of welcoming the migrant is being stained by the humanitarian crisis at our southern border.
Children and parents who arrive at our border are being divided, and these fragile lives, who have been victimized in their country of origin, are now being victimized again. Families are traumatized in the name of border security, serving as pawns in a political game devoid of humanity and compassion. The country that they believed would protect them has torn their family apart and left them in a more perilous position than before.
This practice is beneath the dignity of the United States. Our country is full of good, generous and compassionate people. While we may disagree on many complex issues, let us agree that children should be protected and the family unit preserved. Otherwise, the humanity of these migrant families will be lost in the shuffle and the soul of our great nation will be compromised.
As Pope Francis said, "Each person is precious; persons are more important than things, and the worth of an institution is measured by the way it treats the life and dignity of human beings, particularly when they are vulnerable, as in the case of child migrants."
Our faith and our humanity call us to act with compassion and courage. Our social teachings have long proclaimed the dignity of the human person and called us to a special solidarity with the most vulnerable. It is our sacred duty to protect and give voice to the defenseless — the unborn, the elderly, the disabled, the imprisoned, the immigrant, the refugee.
The United States has traditionally been at the cornerstone of the international humanitarian system that protects immigrants and refugees who so desperately need help. We call on all people of faith and good will to demand that the Trump administration abandon the current policies and practices that systematically separate children from their families.
We urge our lawmakers to enact a just comprehensive immigration reform package that respects human dignity, allows for asylum and ensures due process. Find a link to send a message to lawmakers on www.dosp.org.
Bishop Gregory Parkes is spiritual leader of the Catholic Diocese of St. Petersburg, which includes 81 parishes and missions and approximately 470,000 Catholics.

A khrushchevka (), also known by the derogatory nickname khrushchoba (), is a type of low-cost, concrete-paneled or brick three- to five-storied apartment building which was developed in the Soviet Union during the early 1960s, during the time its namesake Nikita Khrushchev directed the Soviet government. Khrushchevkas are sometimes compared to the Japanese danchi, similar (often government-sponsored) housing projects from the same period, which by some accounts were directly inspired by them. Preceding this type of housing, the majority of the Soviet housing stock was of low-rise communal apartments.

An updated high rise version, the brezhnevka, was built in the 1970s and 1980s and included many upgrades including larger apartments (particularly, larger kitchens), elevators, and garbage disposals. This was then followed by what is known unofficially as the novostroika, meaning "new construction,". The novostroika retain the panel-house style used in the Soviet Union, but are taller, have 21st century amenities, parking, more colorful and decorative themes, and are built over a much larger area. These, however, are not government-built, instead they are built by private contractors on behalf of local governments. An example of this is Kudrovo in Leningrad Oblast, Russia

History

Traditional masonry is labor-intensive; individual projects were slow and not scalable to the needs of overcrowded cities. To ameliorate a severe housing shortage, during 1947–1951 Soviet architects evaluated various technologies attempting to reduce costs and completion time. During January 1951, an architects' convention, supervised by Khrushchev (then the party director of Moscow), declared low-cost, quick technologies the objective of Soviet architects.

Two concrete plants were later established in Moscow (Presnensky, 1953; Khoroshevsky, 1954). By this time, competing experimental designs were tested by real-life construction, and prefabricated concrete panels were considered superior. Other possibilities, like in situ concrete, or encouraging individual low-rise construction, were discarded.

During 1954–1961, engineer Vitaly Lagutenko, chief planner of Moscow since 1956, designed and tested the mass-scale, industrialized construction process, relying on concrete panel plants and a quick assembly schedule. During 1961, Lagutenko's institute released the K-7 design of a prefabricated 5-story building that became typical of the khrushchevka. 64,000 units (3,000,000 m2 or 32,000,000 sq ft) of this type were built in Moscow from 1961 to 1968. The khrushchevkas were cheap, and sometimes an entire building could be constructed within two weeks. Poor quality construction has since become a liability, leading Moscow to announce the Moscow Urban Renewal Initiative an effort to replace structures that ended their functional lives.

In Moscow, space limitations forced a switch to 9 or 12-story buildings; the last 5-story khrushchevka was completed there during 1971. The rest of the USSR continued building khrushchevkas until the fall of the Soviet Union; millions of such units are now past their design lifetime.

Design
The khrushchevka design represented an early attempt at industrialised and prefabricated building, with elements (or panels) made at concrete plants and trucked to sites as needed. Planners regarded elevators as too costly and as too time-consuming to build, and Soviet health/safety standards specified five stories as the maximum height of a building without an elevator. Thus almost all khrushchevkas have five stories.

Khrushchevkas featured combined bathrooms. They had been introduced with Ivan Zholtovsky's prize-winning Bolshaya Kaluzhskaya building, but Lagutenko continued the space-saving idea, replacing regular-sized bathtubs with 120 cm (4 ft) long "sitting baths". Completed bathroom cubicles, assembled at a Khoroshevsky plant, were trucked to the site; construction crews would lower them in place and connect the piping.

Kitchens were small, usually 6 m2 (65 sq ft). This was also common for many non-élite class Stalinist houses, some of which had dedicated dining rooms.

Typical apartments of the K-7 series have a total area of 30 m2 (323 sq ft) (one-room), 44 m2 (474 sq ft) (two-room) and 60 m2 (646 sq ft) (three-room). Later designs further reduced these meager areas.

Rooms of K-7 are "isolated", in the sense that they all connect to a small entrance hall, not to each other. Later designs (П-35, et al.) disposed with this "redundancy": residents had to pass through the living room to reach the bedroom.

Some apartments also had a storage room. In practice it often served as another bedroom, albeit one without windows or ventilation.

These apartments were planned for small families, but in reality it was not unusual for three generations of people to live together in two-room apartments.

Present day

The panel buildings called khrushchevka are found in great numbers all over the former Soviet Union. They were originally considered to be temporary housing until the housing shortage could be alleviated by mature Communism, which would not have any shortages. Khrushchev predicted the achievement of Communism in 20 years (by the 1980s). Later, Leonid Brezhnev promised each family an apartment "with a separate room for each person plus one room extra", but many people continue to live in khrushchevkas today.Khrushchevka standard types are classified into "disposable", with a planned 25-year life (), and "permanent" (). This distinction is important in Moscow and other affluent cities, where disposable khrushchevkas are being demolished to make way for new, higher-density construction. The City of Moscow had planned to complete this process by 2015. More than 1,300 out of around 1,700 buildings had been already demolished by 2012. In 2017, Moscow city authorities announced that some 8,000 khrushchevkas would be torn down, a move that would cause 1.6 million people to lose their homes. The announcement came after the completion of a smaller demolition project in which 1,700 buildings were torn down.

In some parts of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc countries, efforts to renovate and beautify khrushchevkas have been made, such as in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Belarus. In many cities, khrushchevkas have been transformed from drab, gray buildings to colorful housing blocks through series of renovations. In addition, efforts to improve the quality of the buildings have been made. In Tartu, Estonia, the European Union-funded SmartEnCity turned three khrushchevka blocks into energy efficient "smart homes." The renovations are usually heavily subsidized by the state, and in many cases, by the European Union if the country is a member state of the EU. In Russia, Belarus, and Central Asia these same styles of renovations have not taken place, resulting in further dilapidation of the buildings or, in some cases, the demolition of many Krushchyovkas. In these parts of the former Soviet Union, private renovation has been the norm, explaining the difference in the conditions of the buildings.

In English-speaking countries, khrushchevkas are often referred to by the slang term commieblock. Sometimes, this is sarcastically be applied to any apartment complex which is perceived as overly austere in appearance or run down regardless of whether it is located in a previously communist country or not.

In 2017, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin and Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the Moscow Urban Renewal Initiative, a vast public works program to demolish thousands of the city's Khrushchevka. The plan includes the demolition of 5,171 dilapidated khrushchevka and replacement with modern 6 to 20-story residential structures. The plan upon completion will entail the relocation of 1.6 million city residents.

On the final night of playoffs on "The Voice," members of #TeamMiley took the stage with hopes of earning one of three coveted spots on Miley's team as we enter the finals.
Ashland Craft, one of my personal favorites this season, took on Gretchen Wilson's "When I Think About Cheatin'," and y'all, she killed it. The performance earned her one of the three spots alongside Brooke Simpson and Janice Freeman, and we said goodbye to Moriah Formica, Karli Webster, and Adam Pearce.
My favorite performance of Ashland's so far still might "Good Hearted Woman," where she performed alongside Megan Rose, but this one is definitely at the top of the list.


We adjusted the default alert thresholds for CPU, Memory, and Filesystem to better represent true alarm conditions. After analyzing months of data collected from previous alarms, we determined the current default thresholds were set too low. As a result, we will be adjusting these level to values which will help to reduce false positives. Any custom alert levels that you requested will not be affected by this change.
We identified an edge case where an EC2 instance will stop reporting metrics, but won't generate an alert. The EC2 instance hardware and Hypervisor may still be responding to status checks, but the server metrics are not reporting due to an application/OS "lock." To account for this, we are now capturing no-data events and generating alerts.
We have made improvements to the language included in any EC2 alert tickets generated by Oxygen. We are now including more detail in the body of the alert as well as more information on next steps.
We highlighted this feature in last month's update. The first step in implementing this feature has been to monitor the activity generated internally in order to get a better feel for the amount of alerts that may be generated and sent to your inbox. Our analysis identified the potential for a dramatic increase in alert "noise". For this reason, we have decided to change our strategy and only send a weekly alert via support ticket to notify you of any unmanaged instances in your account. The weekly alert will list any instances requiring SSM. Cloudticity support will take the lead on working with you to remediate these instances.
We highlighted this feature in January's update and are excited to announce Unified Logging is ready for general release! Cloudticity's Unified Logging service provides a logging solution that captures server access and security events, aggregating them in a single storage location for querying and visualization. We have built this system on native AWS services with an emphasis on providing a scalable, configurable system at a fraction of the cost to run similar systems using 3rd party solutions. If you are interested in learning more about this service please reach out Steven Middleton.

The Best Job Ever: Chief Tractor Demonstrator County Commercial Cars
Ford tractor conversion specialist County Commercial Cars of Fleet in Hampshire was at the peak of its powers when John Hull joined the company as a field test driver and tractor development engineer in 1967, having previously worked for a Fordson tractor dealership in Berkshire.
Promoted to chief tractor demonstrator in 1970, John travelled all over the world demonstrating the company's four-wheel drive tractors. His autobiography not only provides a rare insight into what it was like to work for the world's best-known manufacturer of Ford tractor conversions, but also charts the development and evolution of its machines over the 16-year period 1967-83.
The Best Job Ever contains many previously unseen archive photographs of County's best-known tractors – from the four-wheel drive 754 and 1124 models of the late 1960s to the iconic 1884 flagship of the early 80s. There are also chapters on County's innovative Forward Control tractors, used for a wide range of applications, plus its un-equal four-wheel drives, tractors for industrial applications, specialist vehicles, including the four-wheel drive Transit, and much more.
First published as a monthly series in Classic Tractor magazine, this substantially revised version of John's memoirs contains a wealth of new stories and pictures. It is the first publication from Farm Power Publishing, the brainchild of Classic Tractor editor Rory Day.

The American, who climbed up from overnight sixth place at Kelab Rahman Putra in Sungei Buloh, finished on 17-under-par 271 to clinch the top prize in the RM200,000 event that is co-sanctioned with the Asian Development Tour and carries world ranking points.
In a tournament that was interrupted on each of the first three days by bad weather and had the third round completed this morning, Japan's Shunya Takeyasu was second after a closing 70 left him on 272.
Australian Jordan Sherratt carded a final round 71, which secured third place another two strokes back on 274, while Korean Soonsang Hong shot a 69 for fourth spot on 13-under 275.
Canadian Riley Fleming saw his 75 leave him in a tie for fifth alongside Thailand's Pavit Tangkamolprasert (68) and American Dodge Kemmer (74), who led the event over the first two days.
Hans Jamil was Malaysia's top-placed player. He finished in a three-way tie for 12th place on 10-under 278.
Twenty-four year-old said after his victory: "I had a slow start and bogeyed the 4th hole. But it did me good because I focused more after that.
Hans, who was in the mix the whole week, said he was disappointed not to have finished higher up the leaderboard but happy that he showed some good form.


Posted By: Mark Levin Date: 10/19/01 12:39 p.m.
My Internet access has been down since Wednesday night, so in the idle time (my schoolwork required the net...) I ended up playing Marathon 2 anyway. So, to make up for lost time, here is the entire chapter 4 of Marathon 2, one of the high points IMO.
The second most beautiful chapter screen in the game ushers in a change of pace. The levels aren't so frantic any more, the combat is lighter, and the story picks up steam, revealing new information that starts to tie into hints found as early as Charon Doesn't Make Change. You become more archaeologist than warrior, searching the wreckage of the ancient, advanced S'pht civilization for the tidbits that will lead to victory. This was the third level of the Marathon 2 demo/preview, under the name BaseDestruction.
The combat on this level is certainly easier than the last one, but the opening fights can be tricky. When you clean everything up, retreat to the far east side of the starting ledge and take a peek at the flamethrower hidden atop the ramparts. The next fight, waking up the compilers in the lava room, can turn bad quickly because of the squadron of Blue Fighters who flank you if you go too far into the room, do as much sniping as you can from the cover of the hallway.
The first mission objective, the switch that raises the bridge, has a cool-looking door and two more critical story elements: the S'pht civil war and the all-powerful Yrro. We'll get back to this terminal later, it has more to say.
Heading on back, there is a secret way to access the next area. Go back all the way to the beginning (beware of compilar ambushes) and head up to the pink corridor you used to exit the 4-platformed lava room. There is now an extension to this corridor that takes you to a series ofledges above the main floor; from here you can snipe and dodge instead of going toe-to-toe with at the several cyborgs and accompanying fighters.
The next terminal, high up on a wall, sets up even more story elements: The arrival of Battle Group Seven. Now you're working under pressure of time. The final switch is in this room, but while you're looking around stop in at the 2x health charger and pick up a ton of fusion ammo. If you go to the terminal after hitting the switch, you see Durandal getting a little hot under the collar. But he's right, as always, so get out of there and head into the Citadel.
Take out the tower guards and access the last terminal to go onwards and upwards. Had you been able to get through the door without completing the level objectives, you would have found another cheating-related message, but now it's just Durandal updating you on the status of the Bobs and sending you into the tower.
This level features some of the most complex geometry in the game; it was "named for the fact that it was incredibly difficult to make", according to creator Greg Kirkpatrick. This makes for a very impressive level, but also a level that is a horrible mess on the overhead map (foreshadowing Marathon Infinity?).
Throughout the level you are constantly ascending, heading up through the tower and then the facility at its top.
Level 1: Don't waste any ammo on the first batch of Flick'ta, they will ignore you if you don't piss them off. This room is an extension of the room you left on the previous level, the corridors in the walls are the same. Are they S'pht teleporters overridden by Durandal?
Level 2: The Flick'ta are more belligerent here, and the terminal reveals more S'pht mysteries. Radiation? Why not an invasion? Hmm... Don't forget to double back just before you leave and pick up the huge pile of ammo and 2x health that teleports in. The mysterious Ticks are back too, don't forget that on TC they can be used as makeshift grenades.
Level 3: Your first encounter with the powerful Water and Lava Flick'ta. They can eat quite a lot of damage, take advantage of the whole room when fighting them. There's also a pattern buffer here, and a 1x charger nearby. There's also a small secret: When jumping across to the second half of this area, stay on top of the pillars and navigate to the small ledge at the west end of the room; this will get you a bit of ammo and a nice view of the L'howon landscape.
Level 5: The architecture gets really interesting now as you enter the main facility atop the Citadel. The views out the main windows are particularly impressive. There are several terminals here that display the same message as before; these will also be the exit terminals. Battle Group Seven is here, ready to bring the pain. The combat gets tougher as well, with big piles of Flick'ta and the appearance of the cyborgs.
Level 6: The L'howon Arkives. Some rooms on this level can only be classified as libraries or museums, holding sample speciments of L'howon life or records of scientific investigations. In the south museum, there's a bug where one of the Flick'ta specimens comes to life, jumps out of its display case, and attacks you. In the north museum, beware of the powerful cyborgs with guided bombs. The computer area holds records of Pfhor medical procedures, and more information about the all-powerful Yrro. Was he a myth? Why are the S'pht cyborgs anyway?
Level 7: Just some cyborgs and amazing views. And ammo.
Yet more S'pht backstory, on the unification of the clans. If you go to the exit terminal before finding both history terminals, you'll get some information on Durandal's main opponent in space, the Pfhor battleship Khfiva and Admiral Tfear.
There's not a lot to say about the design of this level. In the central ring there's a switch that will turn off the slime's cycling; the only reason to do this is if you want to kill the Flick'ta and Troopers in the slime with you; it's easy to avoid them with good timing anyway.
Counterclockwise from the starting room, we have: Some ammo and a 3x charger, some ammo and a 1x health charger under head-height slime, the way to the exit terminal (also with pattern buffer and ammo and head-height slime), an oxygen charger and secret ammo under slime, some ammo and a pattern buffer, and the entrance to the second history terminal.
Don't forget to pick up a 3x health charge before you leave, you'll need it for the next level. At the exit terminal, we see that time is running out as Durandal takes a chance and throws us even farther down into the planet for one more chance to find an answer.
There's a nice WTF moment when you start this level: As you fall down the shaft, a green Flick'ta standing in midair falls onto a ledge. The first time I did this level, I wasn't sure what was going on ("Why am I falling???"); later I realized that Durandal had done exactly what he said he would do: Teleported me as far down as he could get me and then let me fall the rest of the way.
This level is very, very large, consisting mostly of caves full of lava and twisting ledges. There are a few buried installations around, which hold the last secrets that Durandal will find on L'howon (for a while). When exploring, beware of the Lava Flick'ta; they have quite a range with their fireballs. Grenading them into lava won't kill them, but it'll definitely get them out of your way ;). There's also a ton of Ticks flitting around, for some reason.
To beat this level, follow a simple rule: Climb as high as you can, and take any available turnoff the first time you pass it. The first stop is the pattern buffer on a low ledge, which then leads you to the terminal. The game is up, and Tycho has defeated Durandal. You are his last hope now, as you search for the secrets of the S'pht. This level is one of the highlights of Marathon 2 for me, because of its high connectivity. You constantly see bits of the level that you won't be able to reach until later, and double back to revisit old areas with new changes.
Eventually you will reach another S'pht history terminal, and see the first mention of the S'ct'lac'tr. Later, it becomes clear that this is a virus bioengineered by the ancient S'pht to kill the Pfhor. Also in this area is a neat 5D space trick.
The next stop is a bit hard to find: A small path runs away from a narrow stairway, leading to a room with the double switch (what do I mean? push it and see!) and another history terminal, detailing the end of the war. It has become obvious that the S'pht are losing to the Pfhor strategy of radiation and bombardment, much as the Boomer is losing to the overwhelming space forces above us. Also visible in this room are some strange sculptures sealed behind bars; these will play a more important role in Marathon Infinity.
Back at the flooded room, the lava has been drained and the next area is accessible. This place contains one of the best terminals in the game, the S'pht creation myth. Who is Yrro? Was he a Jjaro? (Well, sure, we know that now, but remember the first time we ever played Marathon 2?) What is the W'rkncacnter? Hit the nearby switch to lower the lava in the final area, and head for the last battle of the level.
There are a few tricks that can help you in this fight. First of all, it's easy to get the Flick'ta angry at the cyborgs or vice versa. Secondly, at the far end of the room, there's a small elevator that will raise you up to a switch, which will flood the room with lava and kill the cyborgs (but not the Flick'ta). This is not as useful as it could be, because a) you attract a lot of fire up there and b) the Flick'ta can pull the platform back down, dunking you in lava and bringing you in range of their claws. When you're done, don't forget to manipulate the door near the 2x health charger to give you the most health for the final run.

The Application for our 2019 Meg Hunt Artists in Residency Program is now open– apply today!
See our 2018 Meg Hunt Artists in Residence here.
The Wrangell Mountains Center (WMC) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is connecting people with wildlands through art, science, and education in the Wrangell Mountains. The Wrangell Mountains Residency Program aims to support artists of all genres, writers, and inquiring minds. Our organization and community will provide a unique and rustic workspace located in heart of the nation's largest national park. We invite applicants with creative and inquisitive minds who will both add to and benefit from the interdisciplinary efforts at our community hub in McCarthy, Alaska and the surrounding Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve.
Our campus, located in the center of McCarthy, a small mountain community, and within the boundaries of the nation's largest unit of the national park system (over 13 million acres), provides a unique natural and cultural environment for the WMC. Positioned near ice-capped mountains, the roaring Kennicott River and McCarthy Creek, and the raw terminus of the Kennicott Glacier, the local landscape is a dynamic laboratory for ecology, glaciology, and geology. The town of McCarthy was established during the copper mining period in the early 20th century. After the local copper mines were abandoned in the 1930s, the once booming community virtually became a ghost town, but as the national park was established in the 1980s and with the growth of local tourism, McCarthy has been rediscovered by everyone from Alaskans to international travelers. Many historic sites and buildings in McCarthy and Kennecott combine to make the area a rich cultural environment, hosting vibrant communities full of character and dynamic narratives. It is an ideal place for contemplation and creative endeavor.
The Old Hardware Store (OHS), located next to McCarthy Creek at the end of main street McCarthy, is the heart of the WMC where meals are prepared and shared among staff, volunteers, and program participants. The OHS was built in 1911 as a town general mercantile and was converted into a community hub for arts and sciences in the 1980s. This 100 year old building is currently on the National Register of Historic Places. Across the street from the OHS is Porphyry Place, a former homestead cabin, where artists, scientists, and locals give public lectures and weekly youth programs take place. Located behind Porphyry Place is one of three gardens at the WMC, including a small greenhouse, which supply the WMC kitchen with fresh greens throughout the summer months. Residency participants will have the opportunity to experience and contribute to the sustainable living system at the WMC.
Each resident will be provided with a private and furnished live/work space. The smaller of the two is a cozy 12' x 12' standalone cabin with a small wood burning stove, desk, and twin size bed. The slightly larger studio is located on the second floor above a small workshop and includes a small propane heater, work tables, and queen size bed. There is an outhouse located just a few paces from both spaces. The studios are not equipped with electricity, but the long Alaskan summer days provide ample natural light for many hours and small electronics can be charged on our solar power system at the OHS. Residents will have access to common areas on campus and simple, healthy meals (mostly vegetarian) will be provided and shared communally with WMC staff, students, and visitors.
Our remote location limits the ability of visitors to obtain many goods and services in the area. Participants should come prepared with all the necessary research materials and art supplies since they are not available for purchase locally. Please communicate specific needs for the residency period to ensure enjoyment and productivity. Internet access can be purchased on a personal computer, but the ability to charge electronic devices is dictated by solar power availability, which can be limited in inclement weather. Laundry opportunities are available.
Read about our past residents from 2014-2018.
Artists and writers of all genres and stages in their career are encouraged to apply for one of several two-week residencies. The WMC will make selections through a competitive admissions process. We hope to encourage emerging and mid-level career voices as well as mature professionals. Selected artists will receive room and board for their entire stay in exchange for community outreach or the donation of artwork as a result of the residency. During the residency, the artist will be asked to share their experience with the public by demonstration, talk, or other means. The presentation will depend on the artist's medium, interests, and experience. This exchange component will be outlined before resident arrival but may be revised on-site. The WMC will assist with arranging transportation (within Alaska) if needed.
Apply online and learn more through CallForEntry.org through March 15th, 2019.

Charlottesville Removes Thomas Jefferson's Birthday as Official Holiday
Corey Stallings
You're probably familiar with the left's push to obliterate every aspect of American history. All the things and people which made this country the bee's knees have got to go, according to stuck-up lefty douchenuggets. If you're thinking I'm off my meds, just have a look at what Charlottesville, Virginia just did to Thomas Jefferson:
With one vote, Charlottesville's relationship with Thomas Jefferson just turned more complicated.
The Virginia city, enveloped in the legacy of the Founding Father, will no longer mark his birthday on April 13 as an official holiday. It will instead celebrate Freedom and Liberation Day on March 3, commemorating when thousands of slaves were emancipated in 1865 after Union forces arrived in the city near the end of the Civil War.
"We like to laud ourselves for the beautiful and great parts of our cities, while not subjecting ourselves to identify the harsh parts and the ugly parts," said Wes Bellamy, a city councilman who pushed for the holiday change and led an effort to remove Confederate statues.
...And we continue our slip down the slope.
We've been warning all along how lefties' historical revisions wouldn't stop with Confederate statues. Well here we are. Seeing as the left is running out of Robert E. Lee statues to demolish, they're turning their attention to the founding fathers.
These lefties are holding 18th century politicians to 21st century moral standards. How long before this cancer spreads to pop culture. "James Bond is a hyper-masculine, misogynist archetype. He's got to go. The behavior of the Deltas in Animal House is problematic. Do away with it!" You might call me crazy now, but just give it time.
This Thomas Jefferson business is proof the left is hellbent on turning our history to rubble and rebuilding it in their own image. They'll make it sound innocent. "We're only getting rid of the bad stuff." The problem is there's no stopping point. My advice, don't fall for their trickery.
While we're on the subject:


Your home usually has many facilities that are worth improving. You settle here all the time especially for lazy weekends with friends and family. Does it not make sense then in augmenting each utility so respective functionalities then become amenable. You also are in charge about learning which service providers around the region are granting these fantastic skills and talents.
This helps when confiding with relations who live there and then residing period is tenured. They can point to appropriate bathroom remodeling New Rochelle specialist. Your budgeting plays a vital role in narrowing down the specs these associations are providing. Inquire what the steps transpire when recruiting their techniques. Comprehending their temperament is fundamental. It involves an authentication on what agendas were necessary for providing these examinations.
Browse the ratings of several franchises before going into what is now constituting their effectiveness. You definitely are advised for seeking feedback through some accreditations. The searching guidelines are easy and intuitive like Google. So cite your desired practice and then include what locale you live on. Study their whole constitution and also interview some people that already booked them.
For starters, in applying the routines you stood capable of performing yourself. These easily lower the costs when initial efforts are not requiring the practice of third party servicemen. This step has its limits though because when competencies were not matching the capacities for entailing these, you really should go for the pros when hiring is matter of excellence and training.
Empirically speaking, many publications are suitable for receiving inspiration. Those which also are the same field as these art forms are commendable. Sometimes, you may look into their practices through checking the contents on website. You are encouraged to try and experiment. Yet refrain in getting too overboard as restraint also has its advantage. And interviewing each worker is important for uncovering their paradigms. Each is not a carbon copy of competitor though they share overlapping traits. So use the efficient ones for evaluating.
Similarly, the one thing most people wish to see upon walking into restroom doorway are their faces for beautifying. So repositioning toilet is admirable when intending to have that reflection and sink front and center. Besides anyone utilizing the water closet is all cozy and comfortable when their spot is positioned somewhere enclosed.
Several quotations are different depending on which corporation is booked. Hence it suits you once inquiring for an invoice. Moreover, you can draw some illustrations for concepts. These gives their men and easier chance for apprehending your ideas and offering the impeccable qualities you need.
Ensuring productive output requires you to supervise without much micromanaging. The contractor is ideally knowing those tradesmen they book. Establishing a means for communicating together is superior in desiring to come up with project that followers are tremendously satisfied with.
Finally, a household that sustains cleaning is exceptional. Take turns in feeling that certain routines are now a bit cumbersome. Rotating them is sufficient for productivity. You may constitute a dream home through industriously performing each responsibility with finesse and relying on family.

In North America, the Holiday Season is officially here. The malls are packed with shoppers, the decorations are up, and the conversations revolve around gift-giving and how much we ate at last night's party.
It's also prime time for family gatherings, Christmas parties, house parties, brunches, dinners, and so much celebrating. At most of these parties, alcohol is a highlight of the event. We bring wine to share or for the host; serve spiked eggnog; and have an extra drink because it's that time of year!
If you've worked hard to tone your body and lose that extra fat on your frame, consider that alcohol is one of the culprits for weight gain, lack of motivation for fitness, and much more.
Yes, a glass of red wine is okay, and some sources say that drinking a moderate amount of wine has its benefits. BUT, alcohol is a toxin and chronic use or overuse can have detrimental effects on your health and fitness, besides adding empty (non-nutritious) calories to your daily intake.
How does alcohol affect your overall health?
We've all heard about the increased incidence of heart disease, cancer, liver and pancreas damage, and severe deterioration of the Central Nervous System with chronic consumption of alcohol. Medicinenet.com has a great article describing the benefits and risks of alcohol that we recommend your read. Other sources are listed in our reference section below.
How does alcohol affect your fitness and performance?
As for the effects of alcohol on fitness, there are obvious ones to which many of us can relate to, like loss of balance and hand-eye coordination. Ever tried to swing at golf ball after a few drinks? Alcohol also reduces aerobic capacity and endurance so you'll be tired faster and maybe not even have energy to undertake certain activities. If you've ever played on a recreational baseball team (or other sports team) that likes to enjoy beverages during the game, you probably have experienced these effects!
reduced strength and muscle growth – alcohol can damage muscle cells and the interaction of the nerves and muscles. Chronic alcohol consumption can even kill cells reducing the contraction of muscles (which is what creates movement). Alcohol also affects your heart and circulatory system creating problems with endurance and muscle contractions.
reduced ability to recover – you may experience more muscle soreness after training and therefore need more time to recuperate. Injuries also may take longer to heal as alcohol affects your immune system.
How does alcohol affect your nutrition?
Nutrition directly influences your fitness and performance, so we think it's important to look at how alcohol affects nutrition.
As the common phrase says, "Garbage in, garbage out." Alcohol is a poison that when introduced into your system may cause digestive, stomach and nutritional issues. It's difficult to perform at your peak when troubled by these issues.
interferes with glucose sources – You may recall that in a past post we talked about the importance of glucose for energy. "Studies have shown that alcohol interferes with all three sources of glucose and the hormones needed to maintain healthy blood glucose levels." Alcohol is pretty much sugar!
reduces ability to metabolize fat – As a consequence of the blood glucose problems, alcohol triggers the release of insulin, which increases the metabolism of glycogen, sparing fat and making it more difficult to lose fat. So, the 100 calorie light beer you just had isn't truly just 100 calories when you think of the underlying effects.
When you look at alcohol logically, it's just a poison that will slow you down and rob you of the opportunity to perform at your peak.
How will you celebrate this season?
Okay, we know you've just crushed your plans for the holidays with this post! We love wine so we understand your pain.
Making the best choices for your health sometimes can be tough. We hope that the information in this post and the references give you the power to make the best decision for yourself.
To stay on track with our fitness and nutrition, our goal for this season is to eat well while keeping the indulgences to a minimum.

The century-long obsession with the concept of the future has, at last, come to an end. Beginning with F. T. Marinetti's "Futurist Manifesto" and the worldwide race toward a new and highly mechanized society that defined the "Century of Progress," Italian media activist Franco "Bifo" Berardi traces the genesis of future-oriented thought through the punk movement of the early '70s and into the media revolution of the '90s. Cyberculture, the last truly utopian vision of the future, has ended in a clash, and left behind an ever-growing system of virtual life and actual death, of virtual knowledge and actual war.
The future, Bifo argues, has failed us. Our responsibility now is to decide what comes next.
Franco "Bifo" Berardi is an Italian critic and media activist. One of the founders of the notorious Radio Alice, a pirate radio station that became the voice of the autonomous youth movement of Bologna in the late 1970s, Bifo is the author of multiple works of theory, including The Soul at Work, Precarious Rhapsody, and "The Post-Futurist Manifesto."


Having booked a family room (as it was the last room available on a Bank Holiday weekend), and having been assured of a double bed, my American girlfriend and I (British) were dismayed to see a double sofa bed upon entering. That would be our night's abode for the sum of a mere £100. We have on occasion slept in sofa beds when visiting friends and stayed in their living room, but never in a hotel and certainly not for £100 a night. We also expected to see at least a shower attachment to the bath (and for the bathroom to be free of hairs, etc) - every American wants a shower not a bath; forget about it. And we also expected to have been warned in advance that it was Chagford's annual Carnival with music and people in the street below; we were not. We decided that showers were clearly an alien concept (if you're American don't stay here), and we had simply to accept the Carnival's noise. Instead we decided to query the sofa bed. Oh dear... When challenged, it was clear from Mrs. Globe's (I shall call her that) dreadful reaction that customer expectations are secondary to the owners' expectations. We should be grateful for a sofa bed that was bought at some expense, we were told. It is extremely comfortable, we were told. And it is a double bed as promised, we were told. If some expense means a tenner spent on a sofa bed. If comfortable means leaving the bed to sleep in the two marginally less uncomfortable single beds (this presumably is where the parents would sleep (though not together of course) as they'd probably put their children in the sofa bed). And if describing a sofa bed as a double bed works for you, then technically, Mrs. Globe is right. Technically, this place is a hotel too. But Mrs. Globe is the sort of person who would call her establishment a hotel because it had a ceiling, some walls, and a fold-away bed that students would laugh at. We do not. Chagford itself is a lovely little town and we would recommend eating dinner at 22 Mill Street, having breakfast at the Three Crowns next door to the Globe, and Sunday Lunch in any one of the other two pubs. The Globe? We left the next morning, never to return, and determined to warn everyone else who has the impertinence to expect a bed and customer service in a hotel... The final insult was my girlfriend had the temerity to go downstairs for a couple of breakfast things since she'd had such an appalling night. "We don't do that here" came Mrs. Globe's customer-friendly voice. My girlfriend did to remind Mrs. Globe who's in charge, as we hope this review will too. BAD. BAD. BAD. DON'T EVER STAY HERE!
Good Points: Very nice spacious room. Liked the bar area; good service. Bad Points: No parking. we arrived on a Friday about 11.30 and could find nowhere to park - a bit of a problem as my Husband cannot walk too far. The description of the hotel sugggests that you would have no problem getting a parking space in the public car park - to be sure of this i would suggest arriving after the shops are closed. General review: Pleasant.

The first feature that we've added is a wizard for creating A/B split experiments. A/B tests are ideal for testing how well different page layouts perform and for pages that don't get a lot of traffic. Although you can perform A/B testing in Google Analytics, using Website Optimizer simplifies the process and makes it really easy to set up experiments and view results. Watch this demo to learn how to set up an A/B experiment.
We've also improved the experiment list display. Your most recent experiments appear at the top and you can now delete experiments.
Finally, we've added My Client Center Access Manager. Now, with permission from their client accounts, agencies can access Website Optimizer directly through the My Client Center.
We've published a testing strategy that details how to set time on page as a conversion goal and an article describing how we look at full factorial versus fractional experimental data analysis.

Below is an autobiographical comics I made for Komikero Anthology back in 2010. Enjoy!
interesting! enjoyed reading your comics!!
Tipid movement to the max ah! Hahaha!

KC - siguro kasi hindi rin niya alam na Diyosa ako hehe.


The International Council on Active Aging® is the professional association that leads, connects and defines the active-aging industry. ICAA supports professionals who develop wellness facilities, programs and services for adults over 50. The association is focused on active aging – an approach to aging that helps older adults live as fully as possible within all dimensions of wellness (i.e., physical, social, environmental, vocational, intellectual, emotional and spiritual) – and provides its members with education, information, resources and tools. As an active-aging educator and advocate, ICAA has advised numerous organizations and governmental bodies, including the US Administration on Aging, the National Institute on Aging (one of the US National Institutes of Health), the US Department of Health and Human Services, Canada's Special Senate Committee on Aging, European Commission, and the British Columbia ministries of Health, and Healthy Living and Sport.


Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has rebuked the American officials' "flip-flop" on Iran's might, mocking the Trump administration for making contradictory claims.
The Iranian foreign minister has called for unity in the Muslim world to counter plots by the US and the Israeli regime, saying they seek to "steal" the lands of Arab countries even though they apparently offer handshakes to Arab leaders.
Syrian envoy to the United Nations Bashar al-Jaafari has suggested that the United States offer Israel two of its own states – which Washington actually had jurisdiction over – rather than the occupied Golan Heights.
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi says the "cheap" remarks made by US Special Representative for Iran Brian Hook regarding Iran oil waivers show he lacks a proper understanding of the world's developments and the degraded position of his country in the world.
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi has hailed a Luxembourg court's decision to reject the US government's request to seize Iranian assets over 9/11 attacks, saying the "success" was achieved thanks to extensive efforts by various Iranian bodies.

I'll be on Z104.5 The Edge in Tulsa Tomorrow Morning →
The definitive guide to Sloover
Posted on November 15, 2015	by sloover
I recently did an interview on Z-104.5 The Edge in Tulsa about a Craigslist ad I posted. Here is it https://soundcloud.com/sloov-sloover/sets/sloover-interview-on-the-edge
My best band was Buzzsawyer. We operated out of Chapel Hill North Carolina from I think 2000 – 2004 or something. We played Sleazefests and did a few tours of the entire US, pretty much. We got to record with Steve Baise from the Devil Dogs at his studio in Virginia Beach. Hasil Adkins used and abused our drummer Matt's drumset when he came to the Local 506. Here's the Reverb Nation link https://www.reverbnation.com/buzzsawyer
My band before that was Captain Bigwheel. I can't find anything online of us. But we were a mostly instrumental surf band from Pittsburgh who played in the late 1990s. My favorite review in some zine we got said, "If the Dead Boys made a surf record, this is what it would sound like." We recorded an album with Al Caiti at Coyote Studios in Brooklyn New York. Al was a real professional who was very patient with us. We got to play at the legendary Pittsburgh punk club, Electric Banana, in the last year before it turned into an Italian restaurant. Johnny and Judy Banana were very kind to us on the night we played there. I'll never forget my ride in the car with Johnny when we were "goin' to get ice"
Around 2002 or somewhere in there I made a Christmas album called "Xmas N'at" which people won't shut up about and make me do shows where I sing these songs and it's always a disaster. Including songs such as "Santa Claus is Drunk". Before the Craigslist ad, this was the thing I was most well known for. I'll have these available for download shortly!
My last band was called Elektro Moto-Men. We jammed out of Pittsburgh in 2014-2015 before I moved to Tulsa. I really liked being in the band. The former guitar player from Captain Bigwheel, Stephen McDonald played drums and my buddy from high school, Abraham Bevilaqua was on bass. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2dB6e76AVLOZG9lQWEyb0FEOVE/view?usp=sharing


I enjoy the feeling of being able to simplify or explain concepts to others who may not understand them. Helping others to improve their marks and seeing them grow and develop also is a really fulfilling experience.
As I have recently graduated high school, I have experienced similar difficulties and hardships to other students and therefore as a student know the most effective ways that have helped me to overcome any difficulties I faced. Through this empathy, I am able to determine causes of difficulties and address them in the most appropriate way. Furthermore as I have achieved quite high marks in my subjects, I know the strategies that are most effective in gaining higher marks.
The most important thing for a tutor is being able to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the student. This will allow for the most efficient use of time and it will be the most beneficial to the student as the tutor can focus on addressing the weaknesses of the student. Furthermore it is essential that the tutor can interact with the student in a supportive way to build confidence. This supportive environment is essential in the development of a student and being able to correct one's mistakes.
