We Must Overcome Our Atomization to Beat Back Neoliberal Fascism
By Henry Giroux (Page 1 of 3 pages) 1 comment
Reprinted from truthout.org
This week in the United States, the impeachment hearings made clear that President Trump abused his office and committed a crime against the Constitution. Not only did he attempt to pressure the Ukrainian government into investigating his presidential political rival Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden in exchange for military aid, Trump also used the power of his administration to pressure loyal followers, such as Rudy Giuliani (his personal lawyer) to claim that Ukraine, not Russia, had intervened in the 2016 election a position completely debunked by every U.S. government intelligence agency.
In addition, Trump once again displayed his disregard for the law and the separation of powers by refusing to cooperate with the House impeachment inquiry, claiming that the evidence pointing to his use of power to secure political favors from the Ukrainian government was fake news and amounted to nothing more than a witch hunt. Moreover, he escalated his contempt for the proceedings by conducting a smear campaign against investigators leading the hearings by calling them "human scum." And he threatened Marie L. Yovanovitch, the former ambassador to Ukraine, who criticized Trump's policies with Ukraine, and derided media outlets that critically covered the event.
At the same time, Trump made clear his disdain for any viable notion of justice by pardoning three American servicemen accused of war crimes. There is more at stake here than simply a president's abuse of office for political gain and his authoritarian embrace of unaccountable power and a shameful disregard for the law. Trump has launched a direct attack on the ideological, institutional and ethical foundations central to the functioning of a democracy.

Meanwhile, in Brazil, President Jair Bolsonaro has repeatedly attacked Indigenous groups working to protect the environment from illegal loggers and from lawbreaking networks that are driving the destruction of the Amazon. In doing so he has given a green light to groups that are illegally pillaging the rainforest and threatening to kill Indigenous people, small farmers, law enforcement agents and anyone else who tries to stop them. Exhibiting a Trump-like embrace of solipsism, the spectacle of distraction, and a penchant for political absurdity, Bolsonaro has falsely accused actor Leonardo DiCaprio "of bankrolling the deliberate incineration of the Amazon rainforest" and praised Augusto Pinochet's military coup in Chile in 1973. Unsurprisingly, Bolsonaro has also expressed his support for Brazil's 1964-1985 military dictatorship on a number of occasions. And when faced with opposition, he draws from the Trump playbook by producing scapegoats.
Resistance to the emboldened authoritarianism of Bolsonaro's government is growing in Brazil, however, especially with the release from prison of former president Luiz Ina'cio Lula da Silva. Protests are occurring daily in the streets of Brazil, though not on the scale in which they are taking place in Colombia, Bolivia, Chile and Ecuador, and in spite of accelerating state repression. The massive protests that have occurred in Bolivia, Chile, Colombia and Ecuador have been met with violent police abuse and state repression.
These events may seem unrelated, but in fact they are part of intertwined trends that are transforming the political landscape across the globe. These movements of resistance represent a reaction to the multiple abuses produced by a mix of political authoritarianism and neoliberalism marked by cruel predatory policies, a disdain for human rights, and fascist claims to ultra-nationalism and social cleansing. In Chile, Bolivia, Colombia and other Latin American countries, people are organizing against a neoliberal system that denies meaningful health care, a decent pension system, quality education, public transportation, investment in public goods, and social mobility to the underclass of people deemed as disposable. In countries such as Hong Kong, the United States and Brazil, there are growing movements for democratic rights, solidarity and economic equality. In this instance, resistance movements share the struggle for combining struggles for economic equality, social justice and minority rights.
In other words, two distinct political tremors are shaking the world: the spread of resistance to rising neo-fascism (evident in places like Brazil and the United States) on the one hand, and a new surge in massive forms of collective resistance against neoliberalism (evident in places like Chile and Colombia) on the other.
These movements, which are engaging in massive forms of collective resistance, are aiming to destroy the structures and ideological plague of neoliberal global capitalism, with its relentless attacks on public goods, unions, social provisions and the ecosystem, as well as its relentless drive to privatize everything and turn all social relations into commercial transactions.
Taken together, these two movements are confronting the interrelated and mutually compatible demons of neoliberalism and fascist politics. Moreover, both movements are predicated on the need to engage the role of the symbolic as a political site where politics can be rethought and collective strategies can emerge.
Toward a Politics and Pedagogy of Everyday Life
Pedagogy as a politics of persuasion, identity formation and resistance offers up the opportunity for such movements to speak to a vision that addresses the core values of justice, equality and solidarity while taking on economic inequality, corporate power and racial injustice. Rather than talk in abstractions about freedom, equality and justice, it is crucial for radical political movements to frame their language in relation to the everyday experiences and problems that people face. For instance, it is important for radical social movements to fashion a language that resonates politically and emotionally with peoples' needs, values and everyday social relations while embracing the core values of equality, freedom, solidarity and justice. Leah Hunt-Hendrix points to the importance of addressing such core values in the U.S. She writes:
Millions of Americans, whether they're people of color, white, immigrants; whether they live in cities, suburbs, small towns or the country; whether they're Republicans, Democrats, independents, voters or non-voters living in poverty or struggling to make it from paycheck to paycheck. Millions are unemployed or underemployed, choosing between health care, heat or housing. Many more feel like they're slipping behind and lack the economic security they once had.
At the same time, movements in Chile, Colombia and Ecuador are mobilizing against the twin evils of neoliberalism and fascism, and are demonstrating the need to address the cultural forces shaping society. Such forces are viewed as constitutive of the very nature of politics and modes of agency that both repress progressive alternatives and make them possible. Such movements are not only addressing the educative nature of neoliberal politics, but creating the theoretical and pedagogical groundwork for giving people the tools for understanding how everyday troubles connect to wider structures of domination. This pedagogy of resistance is critical of the attack on notions of the democratic imagination, redemptive notions of the social, and the institutions and formative cultures that make such communities, public goods and modes of solidarity possible. A radical pedagogy in this instance functions to break through the fog of manufactured ignorance in order to reveal the workings and effects of oppressive and unequal relations of power. Pedagogy as a tool of resistance opens up a space of translation, critique and resistance.
Atomization Makes Us Vulnerable to Oppressive Regimes
One reason the movements in Chile, Colombia and Ecuador have gained momentum is through their successful resistance to the atomization that isolates individuals and encourages a sense of powerlessness by claiming the existing order cannot be changed. They have at times succeeded in countering this atomization by refusing what Robert Jay Lifton in a different context calls a "malignant normality." That is, the imposition of "destructive versions of reality" and the insistence "that they are the routine and the norm."
This is particularly crucial because atomization is one of the conditions that make oppressive regimes possible. In order to dismantle these regimes, we must also find a way to break out of the patterns of atomization that enable them.

"Rob Kall gives readers an important wake up call to the bottom up power that they have to protect their rights, powers, and freedoms. His advice applies to all aspects of life, including politics, economics, journalism, entertainment, and psychology and wellness. Kall's book explains the differences between the top-down leadership approach of dominating, fear based, disconnected authoritarianism and the bottom-up connection consciousness that emphasizes values, justice, fairness, equity, and kindness. This book helps readers see the whole elephant as opposed to the disconnected parts. Kall gives great advice as to intensifying, expanding, prolonging, and deepening connections. With his professional background, Rob Kall is the perfect person to write this book. This is a very well-researched book that includes dozens of insightful interviews with top-notch experts. Kall shows how bottom-up small acts can produce massive results. He emphasizes that since we can't avoid this emerging bottom-up connection revolution, we need to learn how to navigate and embrace it. This bottom-up leadership will result in power to the people. This is a fascinating and insightful book, especially in this new era of digital hunting and gathering."

Kathleen Vereecken (1962) has worked as a freelance journalist for several papers and magazines.
She made her debut in 1993 with Het raadsel in het fluisterbos (The riddle in the whispering woods, 1993), but readers had to wait until 1997 for her first historical novel for young adults. Alle kleuren grijs (All colours grey), based on her great-grandmother's life, was promptly nominated for the Golden Owl. Later on she wrote the gripping Lara & Rebecca, about the friendship between a white girl and a slave girl. With Ik denk dat het liefde was (I Think It Was Love) – a novel about the supposed son of famous philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau – Vereecken won the Boekenleeuw (Book Lion) and several other rewards. The novel was translated in French, German and Italian. In Zijdeman (Silkman), also based on a family history, she focuses on the children of a missing silk merchant in Paris. The novel is currently adapted for screen (animation) with Vereecken as a co-script writer.
In 2016 her first novel for adults was published: Haar (Hair), a story that deals with the major issues surrounding love and betrayal. And the minor ones as well, such as: why are women so fond of ritualistically ushering out their youth? And why do they cut their hair short?
Alles komt goed, altijd (Everything will be alright, always), the moving story of a girl during World War I, is considered one of the best dutch language children's books from the last year. It has been awarded the Woutertje Pieterse Prijs (The Netherlands) and the Boekenleeuw (Flanders). Translations in German and Russian will be available soon.
From Bookshelf Essentials, a publication of Flanders Literature:
Her historical novels connect little histories to big history, seamlessly combining plenty of historical information with incredibly well-crafted psychological portraits. Vereecken paints a very convincing and almost sensorial portrait of the age, embedded in a meticulous structure that keeps the reader engaged.
Vereecken's work has been translated into French, German, Italian, Chinese, Korean and other languages.
On I think it was love
(text by Flanders Literature)
Lannoo, 2009
Unique and fascinating perspective on Rousseau
I Think It Was Love tells the story of Leon, supposedly the son of famous writer and
philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau. In 1762, Rousseau wrote Emile ou de l'éducation, a
groundbreaking book about the ideal education. No one knew at that time that he had
taken his own five children to a foundling hospital on the day of their birth. Kathleen
Vereecken imagines what life might have been like for Rousseau's eldest son.
In the enlightened 18th century, Leon is abandoned and taken in by
an uncaring foster mother in the French region of Morvan. Méline, the daughter of the family, takes pity on the tough little boy and makes his hard life bearable. When she commits suicide, he is really alone for the first time. He sets off for Paris, looking for his roots and for love. In the chaotic underbelly of the city, he persists not only in his search for his mother, but also in his quest for education. But then he discovers his father's identity.
Vereecken's historical novel for young adults sweeps the reader along in an intense reading experience. The wonderfully evocative style brings to life the locations and the spirit of the age, in atmospheric, sensuous images.
The novel won several rewards and has been translated in French, German and Italian.
'I Think It Was Love is an extraordinary young adult novel,
told in words and sentences of the finest crystal.'
– Flemish newspaper De Standaard
'Vereecken writes so very atmospherically, drawing you
in with her sensitive language and her delicate treatment
of emotions.' – Flemish newspaper De Standaard
'Kathleen Vereecken manages to say a lot in a few words,
a talent that is not given to everyone.'
– reviewer Jan van Coillie in Lexicon van de Jeugdliteratuur

OKCoin Expands into Argentina and Latin America
Pat Rabbitte
OKCoin, one of the world's largest digital asset exchanges, announced today the launch of its licensed cryptocurrency exchange platform in Argentina. This is its first venture into Latin America and according to the company, it's the first of many such launches in the region.
From today onwards, cryptocurrency traders in Argentina can deposit Argentine Peso (ARS) in exchange for a range of cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Litecoin, Ripple, Cardano, Stellar, Zcash and 0x – with more promised in the not too distant future.
The exchange goes further than local competitors by offering a broad range of FIAT to crypto trading pairs. The company plans on opening an office in Buenos Aires shortly – with a view towards supporting its business not just in Argentina but in the region generally as it expands the reach of its services. Earmarked for further expansion in the coming months are Brazil, Mexico and Colombia – identified by OKCoin as the markets in Latin America in which cryptocurrency trading is growing the fastest.
Tim Byun, CEO at OKCoin USA commented on the launch:
"OKCoin is committed to opening up new markets for digital currency consumers throughout the world, and we are very excited to bring our safe, secure and licensed trading platform to consumers in Argentina."
Byun indicated further ambitions for the company in the region:
"This is just the beginning of our Latin American expansion, as we're aiming to grow throughout the region by bringing institutional and retail traders there an array of trusted trading options so they can buy and sell with confidence."
OKCoin already supports U.S. dollar to crypto trading in many countries throughout the world. It's strategy to accommodate further growth is to expand it's offering of crypto trading pairs with local FIAT currencies.
Earlier this year, the company expanded in North America with the roll out of it's services in California. In September, OKCoin extended their reach further by rolling out services in a further 20 U.S. States.
The announcement comes as OKCoin prepare to participate in the C20 Conference – A prominent crypto conference for the Spanish speaking world being held in Buenos Aires from November 16 – 17.
The Bitcoin Mag spoke to Pablo Magro, Business Development Manager at OKCoin about the new launch in Argentina, further expansion in Latin America and with regard to the company generally. Magro explained that Argentina was chosen due to a high demand amongst traders that are looking to get involved in the growing cryptocurrency market.
There is a large cryptocurrency community in Argentina and the use case for cryptocurrency there differs from the rest of the world. Argentinians are no strangers to FIAT instability over many years. This has been brought to the fore once again following a 40% devaluation in the Argentine Peso over the past few months. Local people are always looking for alternatives simply to maintain their wealth and purchasing power. The default option has been use of the U.S. dollar. However, cryptocurrency gives Argentinians another option in this respect and companies are facilitating that demand.
Magro believes that people may not have a preference for crypto over the U.S. dollar as a hedge against the Peso just yet. As he explains, " we are not there yet. We are not that mainstream that everybody knows about this option. It's not as easy as an option to buy it, to hold it. I think the whole industry is working on this to make crypto mainstream and to make this as easy as possible for the regular person to be able to hold crypto. But as more people find out about it and try it, they see this as a real option to hold value."
Resistance from the banks has been a theme with cryptocurrency exchanges worldwide but particularly so in South America including Brazil, Colombia and Chile. Magro clarified that this issue is well known to industry participants. To him, it boils down to careful compliance in terms of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) practices. He said:
"As long as you have that clear and you have a good AML and KYC program, there shouldn't be an issue with the banks."
He points to developments in Brazil where the authorities there requested information from cryptocurrency exchanges in relation to their AML/KYC processes and practices. Some of them responded, some didn't. OKCoin places heavy emphasis on compliance with these regulations and with that approach, its feeling is that there should not be any issues with the banks or the authorities as a consequence.
The company was amongst the first crypto exchanges established in Asia with its founding in 2013. OKCoin were the biggest cryptocurrency exchange in China before the authorities there closed consumer access to cryptocurrency exchange services. Through adversity sometimes comes opportunity. Before this event, the company already had plans to expand internationally. Once the Chinese government banned crypto exchanges, OKCoin stepped up their international roll-out plans and in short order, it is once again one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges.
OKCoin and OKEX cater for the more professional or advanced trader, providing them with the tools necessary to trade and invest. The company differentiates itself by offering a broad range of trading pairs. Aside from spot trading, it also facilitates futures and derivatives trading in digital assets. Whilst it does this with Bitcoin, it is only one of two companies that offers futures/derivatives trading with digital assets other than Bitcoin.
Magro explains:
"We have margin trading and we try to provide a whole ecosystem of financial products for our investors besides providing good liquidity and the best options for investors. We are always looking for new projects to list bearing in mind which are the best projects for our investors. There's a lot of work involved in this and we are always looking to select the right ones."
At present, there is no other exchange in Argentina catering for the professional trader to this extent. It would appear that this is a welcome addition to the cryptocurrency ecosystem in Argentina and apparently in Latin America generally assuming OKCoin follow through on their expansion plans in the coming months. Latin America has lagged a little in terms of development in the crypto sector but roll-outs such as this one help it to keep apace with the industry elsewhere.

Sir Elton John has unveiled the results of his music video contest at the Cannes Film Festival.
The music superstar, 70, and collaborator Bernie Taupin launched the global competition to create official videos for three of their tracks last year, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their songwriting partnership.
The winners were announced in February and the videos were revealed at a star-studded screening on the French Riviera, and on YouTube, on Monday.
They were created for Tiny Dancer, Rocket Man, and Bennie And The Jets, which were released in 1971, 1972 and 1973 respectively before the emergence of music videos.
The winners were Majid Adin for Rocket Man, Jack Whiteley and Laura Brownhill for Bennie And The Jets, and Max Weiland for Tiny Dancer.
Sir Elton said: "I've been moved and amazed by these re-imaginings of our songs and pretty humbled by the process overall.
"The future of creativity is clearly collaborative, fusing art and technology, and it's been fantastic to open up our work to the next generation of creative talent and to share that process with the world on YouTube."
Mr Adin's winning video for Rocket Man is a poignant animated work which draws on his personal experiences as an Iranian refugee making his way to England.
A fine art university graduate working in animation production, he travelled across Europe during the 2015 refugee crisis, spending time in the Calais Jungle camp before being granted asylum in the UK.
The Bennie And The Jets video was interpreted as a futuristic talent show, with the set and central structure taking their inspiration from Fritz Lang's 1927 science fiction film Metropolis.
Mr Weiland's video for Tiny Dancer is a tribute to Los Angeles, with the track as the link between the city's inhabitants.
YouTube's Vivien Lewit said the competition, entitled The Cut, shared many hallmarks of YouTube's ethos in that it was about "openly inspiring ideas, providing a platform for emerging talent and people sharing their creativity with the world".
She added: "But the heart and soul of this project are Elton John and Bernie Taupin - who brought their vision to life and are encouraging a new generation to express their versions of the legendary songs they wrote and recorded.
"And these videos are truly wonderful."
The winners were each awarded 10,000 US dollars (£7,700) for future creative endeavours.

Q: $f$ has a local maximum at a point $x \in E$. Prove that $f'(x)=0$ Suppose that $f$ is a differentiable real function in an open set $E \subset \mathbb{R^n}$, and that $f$ has a local maximum at a point $x \in E$. Prove that $f'(x)=0$

A: this is the case for $n=1.$ what is $f^\prime(x)$ for $x$ in $R^n, n > 1?$
you can argue by contradiction. suppose $f$ has a local maximum and $f^\prime(a) \neq 0.$  we can assume that $f^\prime(a) > 0$ for if not take $-f$ instead.
since $f^\prime(a) > 0,$ from the definition of derivative you have
$\dfrac{1}{2}f^\prime(a) \le \dfrac{f(x) - f(a)}{x - a} \le \dfrac{3}{2}f^\prime(a)$
for $x$ suffciently near $a.$ this can be rewrittens as
$$f(a) + \dfrac{1}{2}f^\prime(a)(x-a) \le f(x) \le f(a) + \dfrac{3}{2}f^\prime(a)(x-a) $$
this implies $f$ is increasing around $a$ and contradicts that $f$ has a local maximum at $x = a.$

A: Suppose that at some point $p=(p_1,p_2,\ldots,p_n)$ and for some $i$, we have  $\frac{\partial f}{\partial x_i}=c\neq0$.
We can regard $f$ as a differentiable function in a single variable $t$, where you only vary $x_i=t$ and leave $x_j$ constant for $j\neq i$. Denote this as $g(t)$. By definition, $g'(p_i)=c$.
Clearly $g(t)$ does not have a local maximum at $t=p_i$. It follows that $f(x)$ does not have a local maximum at $x=p$.

Gudrun Gut's CV is an eclectic one, spanning a wide range of media and collaborations.
While still a student at the Hochschule der Künste, Berlin (1978-84) Gut first came to prominence in the early eighties as part of a scene the media dubbed "ingenious dilettantes". A member of Mania D (with Bettina Koester and Beate Bartel) and an early incarnation of Einstürzende Neubauten she soon formed successful eighties all-female art rock band, "MALARIA!" with Bettina Koester, then touring Europe and the USA with a 5 piece line up including Manon P.Duursma, Susanne Kuhnke, Christine Hahn. "Malaria!" is still talked about and even reached the charts in 2001 via a "Kaltes Klares Wasser" remix by "ChicKs on Speed", incidentally.
In the late eighties Gut was part of three..

De Heilige-Kruisverheffingskerk is de parochiekerk van de tot de West-Vlaamse gemeente De Haan behorende plaats Wenduine, gelegen aan de Kerkstraat 87.

Geschiedenis
In 1135 werd voor het eerst melding gemaakt van een kapel in Wenduine, afhankelijk van de parochie van Uitkerke. Omstreeks 1185 werd deze kapel tot parochiekerk verheven. In een deel van de huidige kerk zijn nog restanten van deze oude kerk aanwezig, namelijk in het zuidkoor en in de onderbouw van de toren. De kerk werd verbouwd in de eerste helft van de 13e eeuw. Omstreeks 1290 werd de kerk uitgebreid met zijbeuken en zijkoren. De achtkante toren werd nu een ingebouwde vieringtoren.

In 1546-1547 werd de toren, die tevens dienstdeed als baken voor de scheepvaart, verhoogd. In 1555 was er sprake van twee zijkoren, één aan Onze-Lieve-Vrouw gewijd en één aan het Heilig Kruis. In 1566 werd de kerk geteisterd door de Beeldenstorm en raakte vernield. Het kruiskoor ging fungeren als protestantse kerk. Ook daar kwam een einde aan, ten gevolge van de heroveringen door Parma. In 1607 werd de kerk door het leger als paardenstalling gebruikt. Vanaf 1609 begon het herstel van de kerk. Omdat het aantal parochianen sterk was verminderd, werd tot een kleinere kerk besloten. Het herstel duurde enkele decennia. In 1652 kwam het hoofdkoor gereed, daarna het noordkoor en in 1654 het zuidkoor.

De kerk was echter verkleind en de vieringtoren stond nu voor de kerk. In 1719 werd het in onbruik geraakte westelijk deel van de kerk afgebroken. Nadat, omstreeks 1900, Wenduine zich tot badplaats had ontwikkeld was het aantal kerkgangers sterk toegenomen. In 1906 werd, naar ontwerp van Alphonse Depauw, een nieuw westelijk gedeelte van de kerk gebouwd en de toren oogde toen weer als vieringtoren. In 1929 werd het kerkhof opgeheven.

Gebouw
De huidige kerk is een driebeukige hallenkerk met pseudotransept en achtkante vieringtoren. Het gebouw heeft een rechthoekige plattegrond.

Interieur
De kerk bezit een preekstoel in rococostijl, midden 18e eeuw, vervaardigd door Jacobus Lauwerys. Een muurtabernakel is mogelijk 16e-eeuws. Het houten tochtportaal is van 1643 en ontworpen door F. de Corte. Er is een kruisbeeld uit de 17e eeuw. De doopkapel heeft vloertegels die bij opgravingen werden teruggevonden en tot de oudere kerken hebben behoord.

Ellie Dehn Debuts Role of Manon at San Francisco Opera This Fall
San Francisco Opera has announced that soprano Ellie Dehn will step in to perform her role debut as the title role in Jules Massenet's Manon for six performances in November 2017.
Ellie Dehn is excited to add Manon to her repertory and has already made plans to visit Paris and the Church of Saint-Sulpice as part of her preparation. She said, "It's an honor to take on Manon for the wonderful audiences in San Francisco. I look forward to bringing this iconic role to life next season."
Ms Dehn thrilled San Francisco Opera audiences earlier this summer as Musetta in Puccini's La Bohème in what the San Francisco Chronicle called a "sumptuous, sparkling turn as the sexually irresistible Musetta—her Act 2 rendition of the showpiece 'Quando me'n vo' was as joyous and witty as ever."
Dehn has performed on the world's leading stages, including London's Royal Opera, Covent Garden, Munich's Bavarian State Opera, the Metropolitan Opera, Milan's Teatro alla Scala, Rome's Teatro dell'Opera and Naples' Teatro di San Carlo, and she sings at Grand Théâtre de Genève prior to her return to San Francisco Opera. Dehn first appeared in San Francisco in 2010 as Countess Almaviva in Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro. In subsequent engagements with the Company, she completed the Mozart—Da Ponte trilogy of operas with performances as Donna Anna in Don Giovanni (2011) and Fiordiligi in Così fan tutte(2013), and also performed in La Bohème and Bizet's Carmen, the latter in the production by controversial Spanish director Calixto Bieito. Other recent successes include her debut at Covent Garden as Countess Almaviva in a new production by David McVicar, Donna Elvira with the Metropolitan Opera, Donna Anna with the Bavarian State Opera and Oper Köln, Alice Ford in Verdi's Falstaff with San Diego Opera, the title role in Dvořák's Rusalka with Lyric Opera of Kansas City and her debut at Milan's Teatro alla Scala as Antonia in Offenbach's Les Contes d'Hoffmann.
The San Francisco Opera production of Manon opens November 4 and runs through November 22, 2017.

Trump Takes Shot at Apple For Refusing to Unlock Suspected Criminals' iPhones
Steve Vegvari
President Trump has taken to Twitter to criticize Apple's stance on user privacy yesterday evening. The tweet in question was sent in relation to the ongoing investigation of the Florida Pensacola Navy base shooting, which occurred on December 6th, 2019.
Per CNBC's report, Trump's tweet called on Apple and said: "We are helping Apple all of the time on TRADE and so many other issues, and yet they refuse to unlock phones used by killers, drug dealers and other violent criminal elements. They will have to step up to the plate and help our great Country, NOW! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN."
Apple has long stood by its user privacy policies. This became a point of conversation earlier this month at CES, where Apple's Senior Director of Global Privacy defended the company's procedures. Although Apple refuses to unlock devices through any means, the company has handed over iCloud data in relation to on-going investigations.
We are helping Apple all of the time on TRADE and so many other issues, and yet they refuse to unlock phones used by killers, drug dealers and other violent criminal elements. They will have to step up to the plate and help our great Country, NOW! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 14, 2020
Earlier this week, Apple made another statement pertaining to requests to create a backdoor in order to unlock the suspect's iPhone. In the statement, Apple said: "Backdoors can also be exploited by those who threaten our national security and the data security of our customers. Today, law enforcement has access to more data than ever before in history, so Americans do not have to choose between weakening encryption and solving investigations. We feel strongly encryption is vital to protecting our country and our users' data."
At the time of writing, Apple issued a comment in regards to Trump's tweet.

Why big dogs and little dogs should be friends: big & small opera companies in partnership
Report by Lila Palmer, 10 June 2015
Large and small opera companies can share information, especially when programming is related. Large companies can benefit from mentoring small companies by getting foreknowledge of talent coming up and from start-up practices, which are responsive and fast moving. Small companies are more reactive and therefore it pays for large companies to keep tabs on them, which they can do most effectively by supporting them!
Small companies can benefit from mentorship, promotion and contacts with the higher tiers of the industry and can also function as a lab for R&D for larger companies, who can then partner to bring successful projects to a wider audience, generating more revenue for both companies.
Internally large companies inadequately promote their own programming, for example failing to push trainee and education projects to donors and patrons or not charging for them. This undercuts young talent trying to survive financially but it's also a missed engagement/outreach opportunity. Often this seems to reflect a lack of trust in young talent. Companies have to learn to trust their young blood in all areas, not wait until individuality is ironed out to promote it.
National Opera Coordinating Committee should have a 'development and mentorship' subcommittee to work with smaller scrappier companies and spot talent for development to benefit the industry as a whole. Opera Music Theatre Forum and NOCC need to meet and exchange ideas about best practices. They can actually promote each other's shows and communicate and increase audiences. Companies take the view that they're fighting for audiences whereas the reality is that not every audience member wants to see every offering, but that interested audiences can be directed to where their interests lie increasing everyone's uptake. Both NOCC and OMTF need to raise their profile to the wider industry so that opportunities for dialogue with 'the players' are increased and communication is facilitated. This isn't just altruism.
Success Story:
Such practices have worked extremely well in Canada where the Toronto Opera Companies have effectively created a supper club/guild & facebook group where they share information about programming & scheduling dates, promote each other's shows in programs and online. All have discovered that audiences have in fact increased, so this sort of cooperation is to everyone's mutual benefit, even in a relatively small city like Toronto where traditionally it was believed there wasn't enough audience to go around.
Another big issue for small/touring opera companies who hire theatres is the difficulty of collecting audience data if the theatres refuse to share booking and audience metric figures and email lists. Companies as large as Opera North and WNO for example, have trouble colleting data. There has been some attempt to remedy this through an initiative by the NOCC but conservatism has meant that moves to automatically share data between companies and theatres have been pushed back to 'opt in' clauses. But some recognition of the problem at least.
• Return to 'opt out' clause.
• If small/touring opera companies booking the same theatres club together and request that all small theatres supply all touring companies with audience metrics and mailing lists they have a greater chance of that being applied.
• A 'kitemark' for small theatres who really support the companies who come through them, which could go beyond the opera industry and requires partnership with touring theatre companies. But it would create a system in which theatres are galvanised to provide this information in order to get the best companies in and sell out theatres
• Can small companies and big companies share databases?
• Put a pop-up click-through link on all the NOCC/OMTF theatre websites when audiences try to book for a sold-out show, taking them to other performances at affiliated member venues. E.g. Traviata is sold out at ROH, but you can go see OperaUpClose's version in Soho the same night, or ENO's Carmen right down the street (or whatever).
The failure of Narcissus: why opera companies need to self-reflect effectively Arts Council Self-Evaluation forms are not fit for purpose. Self-evaluation in arts organisations is considered a chore and a necessary bureaucratic exercise in maintaining or gaining funding, and isn't viewed as an opportunity to learn crucial information to improve the practices, product and working conditions of the organisation. This attitude exists from the top down, and therefore SE is implemented in a shoddy way which diminishes its value, for example not preserving complete anonymity through submission structures or limiting the conversations to direct line managers, so that constructive criticism is either blocked at the immediate level or simply not made because of fear of not being hired.
This is a particularly problematic practice in young artist feedback practices, where vulnerable performers are asked to personally and directly feedback about particular programs they have taken part in to the very people who have the power to hire them in future or were the cause of whatever issue is under discussion for improvement.
Amongst administrators SE is often tied to immediate pressure for gain or loss of funding under extremely difficult conditions, and the desire to protect themselves, jobs, and other colleagues discourages openness about flaws in the system and leads to an internal code of omerta about working realities (see ENO). Evaluation is also only being undertaken by external bodies such as the Arts Council whose criteria are not necessarily those which align with best practice from a business or creative perspective, but the results of those evaluations tend to shape the public dialogue about the success of the company, companies become embattled and are therefore disinclined to invest resources in assessing independently for themselves how they can improve. Opera companies need to create their own metric of success, which will enable greater control of the public conversation and the criteria of evaluation, and reduce the frequency with which the media or the arts council pick an area of weakness in the industry and focus on it to the detriment of all the good work being done.
Is there a possibility of creating an industry code of best business and creative practice written by the opera companies facilitated by NOCC so that they can create a healthy form of self-assessment and a metric, which is relevant to them to measure success with, and thereby take charge of the conversation?
The Opera Establishment in a UK Context – 'Clubbability and the code of Omerta'
A fear of the consequences of naming the issues or expressing a need for improvement is present amongst 'insiders' and 'outsiders seeking inside status' in the industry. Individuals present who had knowledge/membership of both NOCC & OMTF were concerned that even discussing these bodies and their workings at D&D and in this discussion would be frowned upon. Whether conscious or not, the expression of this unease is clear evidence of a culture in which communication, constructive criticism and discussion of best practice is not always encouraged, and is considered 'breaking ranks', or indicative of not being 'clubbable'. Of participants in the discussion, only 3/14 were aware of the existence of either of the NOCC & OMTF.
• This mentality needs to change and boards and opera companies need to seek to actively recruit those who want to discuss improvement and innovation, as other businesses do.
• Prospective arts administrators and performing artists also need to 'vote with their feet' and seek to work for companies doing this.

Caroline Forster Anderson, 12 June 2015
Hi, I'm Caroline from the Opera and Music Theatre Forum (OMTF)
This report, the overview Practical Outcomes for Fringe Opera? and Producers - Bridging the Fringe and Larger Scale Companies, all raise important issues about infrastructure which have been the subject of much debate over the years.
Some have raised more questions than answers in discussion but things change and it may well be time to revisit them. If any participants to this session would like to explore the issues raised in these reports further, let's arrange an informal, open discussion session, either following the event described below or on another occasion. Just mail me at [email protected]
A quick note to make here is that there is communication and co-operation between the big companies and the smaller scale sector, for example this D&D event itself, plus The Royal Opera House, Glyndebourne and ENO have all hosted events and conferences for OMTF which was established to promote the work of, advocate for, and provide a network of help, particularly to the smaller companies (omtf.org.uk)
Many of the big companies will be sharing their skills and expertise at the Fundraising event we are running in London on July 31 - key contributors will be The Royal Opera House, Welsh National Opera, Glyndebourne and Scottish Opera. It takes place in London during the Tête a Tête Festival - more details on the front page of our website.
We are a membership organisation but we have open events available to all and we keep in touch with the whole sector via Twitter – so do follow us on @OMTF!
Bill Bankes-Jones, 15 June 2015
…and I'm Bill, the Chair of OMTF. I know that Caroline, our board and I would be really keen to hear more constructive criticism of OMTF, or better still see constructive critics join the organisation and take an active rôle in making it better.
We'd certainly welcome that rather than frowning on it. Let's keep the discussion going!
nOMTF is arranging an informal get-together in London to discuss some or all of these issues from 6pm on July 9 – do get in touch if you would like to join us!

Phosphatidylcholine provides a unique way to help decrease levels of toxicity and cellular degeneration. Toxins can be stored in in body fat for long periods of time, more specifically the phospholipid layer cells.
Our body works relentlessly to excrete these toxins after going through the liver to the gut (or through sweat) on a daily basis. We can utilize targeted detox programs to really flush the liver and body from toxins, but these don't always rid the cell membranes of chemicals. That is where a phosphatidylcholine IV comes in.
By delivering phosphatidylcholine directly to the bloodstream it can get right to work correcting fats and oil balance in the cell membranes. By replacing toxic fatty oils containing pesticides, prescription drugs, chemicals from skincare products, and food preservatives with cleaner fatty oils, the body can more successfully detox completely.
Thanks to the increased availability of phosphatidylcholine through IV Nutrition Therapy, function to existing cell membranes and function of organ systems can be restored, age related changes in the lipid or fat composition of heart muscle cells can be reversed.

Fraternity and sorority marketing is a great way for companies to promote their products on campus. Fraternity and sorority groups are comprised of influential members of the student body and can have a big impact on campus trends.
Fraternities and sororities have huge influence on campus in part because of their active role within the campus community. Greek organizations require their members to participate in a wide variety of events and activities, such as attending socials and mixers, participating in philanthropic activities, going to assigned tailgates for football games or anything that a chapter sees fit. Their huge social presence within the campus community allows them to interact with many students, both Greek life members and non-Greeks.
Understand the benefits of a student brand ambassador campaign and how to execute one with NAM Youth Marketing.
Consumers today, especially 18-24 year olds, look at brands and advertisements with a skeptical eye. They're wary of traditional advertising and rely heavily instead on recommendations from friends, peers, or family members. In fact, "ninety-two percent of consumers around the world say they trust earned media, such as word-of-mouth and recommendations from friends and family, above all other forms of advertising."[i] This shows the importance of reaching prospective consumers with word-of-mouth marketing.
Millennials hold the key to multi-generational marketing as their power to influence other generations is quite substantial despite, or perhaps because of, the struggles they face in the workforce.


Masterpieces of Tibetan art found in the private temple of the Dalai Lamas have been reproduced and displayed for the first time in a special exhibition at the Wellcome Collection in London.
The Lukhang, or "Temple to the Serpent Spirits" was built in the late 17th century on a lake behind the Potala Palace in Tibet's capital city of Lhasa and it was used only by the Dalai Lamas as a place of meditation and spiritual retreat.
There are various yogas and meditation techniques, but the Lukhang murals reveal a system called Dzogchen, or 'Great Perfection', which was introduced into Tibet in the eighth century by Padmasambhava. This is one of the most secret practices in Tibetan tantric tradition. Padmasambhava described Dzogchen as "the mind looking directly into its own essence".
There are three principal murals. One depicts Tantric Buddhist masters known as Mahasiddhas, another mural shows yogic practices for opening subtle energy channels within the physical body, and the third mural illustrates visionary meditation practices for attaining a rainbow light body.
For the Dalai Lama the purpose of art is to inspire you to achieve enlightenment. If a work of art gives you the motivation to overcome ignorance, greed, and anger, then it is a great success.

I think the question overlooks the most obvious explanation for this phenomenon: outcome orientation. Most judges want the outcome of these admissibility hearings to be that the government gets to use evidence that will help them convict the defendant. I don't think the following of precedent, for example, comes from some philosophical attachment to precedent, but rather that precedent is a convenient means to the end that most judges want: that the prosecution's evidence can be used..

October is a perfect time to plunk yourself and your peeps on a beautiful Greek Island with views overlooking the big blue Ionian Sea. Long gone are the throngs and masses and traffic and trials and challenges of more crowded summer months. Come October, temps still tip the warm end of the scale and the water beckons crystal clear and most definitely swimmable. Pack your snorkel and mask. Some of the most beautiful beaches in all of Greece become nearly private escapes to explore with your tribe alone.
October is awesome in the Greek islands. Especially if you are coming from northern climates where fall has firmly set in and grey days deliver a much chillier and damper demeanor at this time of year. You'll find enough traditional tavernas stay open to tempt with tastes of delicious Greek cuisine. Tomatoes and feta and kalamata olives every day for me please. And thank you. And yes I did. Fisherman keep fishing and offer their fresh catches daily straight from their boats. Kefalonia in October is a keeper in my book. Come see why.
Myrtos is regularly listed as one of the most beautiful beaches in all of Greece. With good reason. At the bottom of winding switchbacked road sits a swath of perfect sand beach set against huge white cliffs and brilliant blue sea.
The unique reddish sand at Xi Beach is soft and fine, perfect for sand castle building or a run on the beach. This blue flag beach is brilliant for a swim, but don't expect lifeguards or any amenities whatsoever come October. What is a bustling beach with tavernas and activities in summer is a huge open place you can have practically to yourself in Autumn. With average sea temperatures of 23°C/73°F it was serene place to paddle.
Kefalonia is chock full of charming little towns and villages. But don't expect the white-washed domiciles and iconic windmills of the Cyclades Islands. Here on Kefalonia, a huge earthquake hit in 1953 devasted the bulk of this island. Much of it rebuilt in the cotton candy colors of the 50's. I'm cool with that. Pinks and peaches and lemony yellows are adorable against the brilliant blue skies.
NOTE: Kefalonia is larger than it looks and you are often driving on narrow two-lane roads that are nothing if not twisty and often set square atop precipitous cliffs. Stunning views aside, take your time and watch out for sudden stoppages from goat and sheep traffic. Seriously. I joke not. The curvy roads don't scare them and they'll sit right in the middle or cross directly in front of your car.
Our ferry from the Greek mainland pulled into Poros, a pretty little port on the east side of the island. Without a car, many people never make it past Poros. With beaches and bistros and brilliant blue water, maybe there is no reason to! We found it a perfect place to lunch on the promenade before our return ferry home.
Find your way to the top of Kefalonia and the redonkulously cute little village of Fiskardo. If the rest of the island seems sleepy this time of year, things are still in swing in this northern outpost come October. Thanks in part to the foreign yachting community that makes this ports popular. You may hear more British accents than Greek ones as you make your way around the waterfront for some dining al fresco. But don't worry deck shoes not required. It's almost too cute up here. You could practically pluck this town up and set it down at Disney's Epcot.
NOTE: You can rent a boat from Fiskardo even without a boating license. It won't be tremendously fast or large, but it can get you across the channel to Ithaca. It's true!
A bit more authentic and equally cute, tiny Asos is a must stop to see for yourself. Set on a little bend of a harbor, everything is colorful here. Originally we had targeted to stay in Asos, but weren't able to find accommodation for our family of five. After visiting and sensing its solitude, we reckoned it was probably better that our exuberant family found a villa elsewhere. But if quiet is your quaint. Asos is your place.
As the capital of Kefalonia and the largest town on the island, what Argostoli lacks in charm it makes up for in amenities. Stroll down the pretty waterfront and look in the bay for the resident loggerhead turtles. Buy fish straight from the fishermen. Or step into a blue tiled fish shop. Beautiful fresh produce markets and all the souvenir stands you could stand. You can also catch the little ferry to Lixouri from here.
A quick thirty-minute ferry ride from Argostoli and you're on the other side of the Island in Lixouri. From here it is a 10-minute drive to Xi Beach. (See above for reasons why you would want to!) After swimming and sandcastle building refuel at one of the many tavernas on the cozy open main square in Lixouri.
Spartia was our bitty, but pretty little home base village. The closest to our villa. If you aren't staying on this side, not sure it's worth an out of the way stop. But a traditional Greek coffee with the locals on Saturday morning enjoying these views of the colorful town church is worth it if you're nearby.
Seasonal charter flights and other international carriers fly from points around Europe directly to Kefalonia airport. Aegean Airlines has flights from Athens International Airport departing regularly.
We rented a car when we departed Athens and drove across the Peloponnesus to the port of Kyllini, where we caught the Kefalonian Lines ferry to Poros. Travel time was 1.5 hours for the crossing and drinks and snacks are available on board.
With a growing family of five, we were looking for a bit of space and a place we could chill. We loved the serviced villa we found with views of the sea, a private pool and gigantic barbecue.
A three-minute walk to the rocky 'beach" and snorkeling daily. Or a little cliff diving for your more daring? Villa Penelope had everything we could want, but it was a tad isolated. A small local market in the bitty village of Spartia was a 10-minute drive. Several full-scale modern grocery stores a bit further in Argostoli about 20-25 minutes away.
So don't rule out the Greek Islands after summer. September would be supreme. But we loved it in October. And unless you are really looking for solitude, I would not recommend November and over winter. Many shops, taverns, boat rentals and other tourist amenities were already closed for the season and many more shuttering as we sailed off at the end of fall break, or half-term.
Save it for later! Share it if you dare. Feeling pinny? Pin this piece peeps! Hej hej for now. Cheers from Copenhagen.

Can you spot the dogs cleverly hidden in these pictures of food?
If you're one of those people who spends a fair amount of time on the internet, then you'll know that there are two things people always love to talk about: dogs and food. From the various viral videos to the Twitter account We Rate Dogs, both of these awesome things have permeated the web and bled into our wider consciousness, but nobody's really thought to put them together before.
That is, until now. The Instagram account Dogs in Food is exactly what we needed in these dark times, with each picture of food cleverly concealing one of your favourite doggos. No puppers were harmed in the making of these pics, though - this is all Photoshop. Can you spot them all?
4. ...And go 'bananas' for this one!
15. Look at the little pupperberry!
Well, isn't that just the best way to brighten up your day? No matter where you are, or what you're doing, let's all be thankful we've got dogs and food. Now you can enjoy looking at both at the same time.


US District Judge Cynthia Rufe in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania who has been overseeing federal multidistrict litigation of Zoloft lawsuits since April 2012 has scheduled the first bellwether trial for early 2016. There are now 545 product liability complaints pending throughout the federal court system making similar allegations that drug maker Pfizer failed to warn consumers about potential adverse side effects of Zoloft in pregnant women.
Zoloft lawsuits have been filed by the families of children born with severe physical birth defects including cardiac defects, spinal malformation, pulmonary hypertension, lung, abdominal, and cranial defects among others; all allegedly stemming from exposure to the antidepressant during pregnancy.
In a pretrial order issued on April 1, 2015, Judge Rufe states that she will be determining the order in which these trials will go forward by the end of the month. The parties involved will then review expert discovery and challenge admissibility of testimony over the remainder of the year with trials set to begin on January 19, 2016. The outcomes of these early trials will not be binding on other claims, but, may lead to settlement out of court, or otherwise expedite the legal process.
The second bellwether trial begins at the end of May 2015, in a Pennsylvania state court. The pressure on plaintiffs is considerable following a victory for Zoloft maker Pfizer in a similar case before a court in St. Louis in April. Judge Rufe has upheld her restriction of three experts and rejected that of a fourth meant to substantiate the plaintiffs' causation argument. Court observers believe that the reception expert testimony receives in the Pennsylvania trial may impact whether or not it will be admissible in the MDL.
In November 2006, the FDA added warnings about the elevated risk of persistent pulmonary hypertension in newborns stemming from exposure to Zoloft during pregnancy. Then, in June 2007 and September 2009, studies were published linking the use of antidepressants such as Zoloft to abnormal physical development, particularly when exposed during the first trimester.

Q: Oracle sql regular expression to split a string by a pattern | email                           |
+---------------------------------+
| abcd@gmail.com                  |
| bdef@gmail.com abdfgr@yahoo.com |
+---------------------------------+

I tried the below and it is working for the 1st row
substr(email,instr(email,'@',1,1))

But for 2nd row on a same cell we have 2 domain id. Now, how to retrieve the output as below
gmail.com
gmail.com
yahoo.com

A: For example:
SQL> with test (email) as
  2    (select 'abcd@gmail.com' from dual union
  3     select 'bdef@gmail.com abdfgr@yahoo.com' from dual
  4    )
  5  select ltrim(regexp_substr(email, '@(\w+\.\w+)', 1, column_value), '@') res
  6  from test,
  7       table(cast(multiset(select level from dual
  8                           connect by level <= regexp_count(email, '@' )
  9                          ) as sys.odcinumberlist));

RES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

gmail.com
gmail.com
yahoo.com

SQL>

A: You can use REGEXP_SUBSTR, for Example:
SELECT REGEXP_SUBSTR ('jlora@outlook.com', '(\@).*') from DUAL

Result: @outlook.com

A: You might try something like the following. I'm assuming you have a primary key column or columns on the table that also has the email column:
 SELECT id, TRIM('@' FROM REGEXP_SUBSTR(email, '@\S+', 1, LEVEL))
   FROM mytable
CONNECT BY REGEXP_SUBSTR(email, '@\S+', 1, LEVEL) IS NOT NULL
    -- If you have a composite key, mention all of the columns here:
    AND PRIOR id = id
    AND PRIOR SYS_GUID() IS NOT NULL;

See SQL Fiddle here (ignore the schema!).
Now the above query will get all results, including duplicates, so if a value in the email column looks like this: you@yahoo.com you@gmail.com you@gmail.com then gmail.com will be returned twice for that primary key value. Simply replace the SELECT with SELECT DISTINCT to get around that issue (if you want to get around it).

Half of women will get a false positive 3D mammogram, study finds
Tina Reed, author of Axios Vitals
Half of all women getting 3D mammograms will experience a false positive over a decade of annual screening, a study published Friday in JAMA Network Open found.
Why it matters: False positives — when a mammogram is flagged as abnormal, but there is no cancer — have always been a problem. But 3D mammography has been aggressively marketed by hospitals, doctors and some patient groups for its ability to provide higher image quality images — and previous studies have found they result in fewer false positives.
What they're saying: "Whenever you're called back for an additional workup, it's very stressful because women think they may have cancer," Diana Miglioretti, a lead author and professor and division chief of biostatistics at UC Davis Department of Public Health Sciences, told Axios.
"Often it may take days to even weeks to get that resolved," she said. "The main thing is we want to alleviate women's anxiety over these false positives and understand they are very common."
The details: The researchers analyzed data from the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium on 3 million screening mammograms for more than 900,000 women ages 40–79. The screenings were performed between 2005 and 2018 at 126 radiology facilities.
Researchers estimate over 10 years of getting 3D mammograms, 50% of women will experience at least one false-positive recall compared to 56% of women screened with 2D digital mammograms.
Women with dense breasts or who were younger, as well as those who screened every year compared to once every two years, had a higher chance of a false positive.
Yes, and: Beyond the anxiety false positives cause, there are additional out-of-pocket costs for the follow-up diagnostic workups that can be problematic, Miglioretti pointed out.
What's next: It's still a work in progress, but researchers are working on AI that might better identify cancers in mammograms.
Miglioretti's team is studying the risk factors for getting called back for more imaging.
"If we can identify women, like younger women, women with dense breasts at higher risk of being recalled, we can have the radiologist read the mammogram while she waits so that she can get any additional workup that day. That greatly reduces women's anxiety because they don't get this call saying, 'We need you to come in for additional imaging,'" she said.

1.e4 - The Chess Bible - Volume 1
Author: Justin Tan
I have chosen 1.e4 for various reasons. First and foremost, it is the move I have played for the entirety of my chess-playing life. In the database, I have recorded approximately 400 white games, of which 350 began with 1.e4! I have also heavily researched the openings covered in this volume, through my column '1.e4' for ChessPublishing. Secondly, I believe that Black has a wider margin of error in the closed games than in the open games. Even if they do not know all the details of a certain line in the former case, they will end up with only a slight disadvantage in the majority of cases. The same cannot be said about the defenses to 1.e4. In this book you will find that Black must tread carefully if they play an offbeat system, as I have discovered several refutations to the most popular and widely accepted lines within them. For every opening, I have adopted the same method of research. Firstly I undertake a detailed examination of human games, alongside correspondence/email games, with particular regard to the highest percentage of White wins and the number of games played. The human games allowed me to gain a natural feelings for the practical elements of the opening in question, while the correspondence games (essentially human-assisted engine games) covered the necessary element of objectivity. The next stage consisted of my own engine analysis, using the Chessbase Engine Cloud to examine critical but unexplored positions. Finally, I engage as critically as possible with the existing literature, as I hope others will do with my work in the future. At the beginning of every chapter is an overview of the opening, which serves to give the reader some basic foundations and highlights the general concepts, extracted from the analysis section. If the reader is in need of a brief summary of a particular opening, I suggest you focus on the overviews. The analysis section contains the main body of work. The reader is not expected to memorize everything by heart; in fact, that is probably not a productive exercise. When going through a variation, it is best to stop at a point you think is appropriate, and that should always be the point at which you find that you have fully understood the position. Each subchapter ends with a model game, which gives the reader a simplified picture of the variation at hand. Similar to the overview chapter, this section is largely illustrative.

After escaping the Spanish bull ranch Casa del Toro as a youngster, Ferdinand (voiced by John Cena) is raised into adulthood by the kind and loving Nina (Lily Day), the daughter of a flower farmer who treats the massive, gigantic animal as a member of the family. A pacifist at heart, the large bull inadvertently destroys a small town's springtime festival after an unfortunate encounter with a bee. Mistaking him for a dangerous brute who must be properly trained, Ferdinand is unceremoniously sent back to the Casa del Toro, the bulls living there not understanding why one of their brethren would rather sniff flowers than be selected to fight inside the Madrid coliseum against a bloodthirsty matador.
I have fond memories of reading Munro Leaf and Robert Lawson's timeless 1936 children's book Ferdinand the Bull as a youngster. I have equally wondrous ones of discovering Disney's Oscar-winning 1938 animated adaptation, this classic entertainment appearing on television so often during my childhood by the time I was a teenager I likely knew every frame of the eight-minute short by heart. It's a simple, subtle and undeniably wondrous narrative, this astutely elegant tale of love, acceptance and peace one that is all but guaranteed to continue to stand the test of time with steadfast ease.
With a story and a script credited to six different writers, director Carlos Saldanha's (Ice Age, Rio) energetic adaptation of Ferdinand unsurprisingly doesn't deserve to be inside the same bullfighting ring with any of its predecessors. Even so, the film gets just enough right to hardly be a disaster, and while I wasn't nearly as satisfied with this one as I hoped I would be, I can't say the filmmakers stumble over themselves to the point where their missteps cannot be forgiven. No, for young children, the energetic vitality of the motion picture coupled with its delicate story of nonviolence and standing up against bullying is one to be treasured, and even if I didn't love it I won't hold it against any viewer under the age of eight or so who do.
The reality is that, whenever this version sticks to the source material, walks directly in the steps of Leaf and Lawson's book without varying outside of them, Saldanha's take is wondrous. But there's a reason the Disney version came in under ten minutes in length, the amount of filler required to get this story up to feature length rather extraordinary. New additions like a talkative goat named Lupe (an unexpectedly annoying Kate McKinnon) and a trio of secretive hedgehogs (Gina Rodriguez, Daveed Diggs, Gabriel Iglesias) don't bring anything substantive to the table, while the less said about the stunt casting of Peyton Manning as one of Ferdinand's rival bulls at the Casa del Toro the better it would likely be for all involved. There is an obnoxious subplot concerning three German show ponies (Flula Borg, Sally Phillips, Boris Kodjoe) that's fairly unfortunate, and for the life of me why so many of these second-tier animated movies always seem to insert chaos and destruction into the mix for no discernible reason whatsoever thinking that is what audiences wants to see is way beyond me.
But Cena gives a lovably touching vocal performance as the title character, and many of the early scenes between Nina and Ferdinand are suitably heartwarming. I also respect the fact that the filmmakers didn't fall prey to the easy out of having the heroic bull fight once he gets into the ring against the matador. Instead, sticking to the source material, it is the fact the he refuses to fight yet still treats his opponent with appreciative respect that the crowd is won over by the animal, the themes of Leaf and Lawson's book coming through with rapturous clarity.
Not that this Ferdinand was for me. It's too obnoxious, too self-involved, the hyperactive antics of pretty much every member of the supporting cast driving me bonkers. Coming so soon after the respectful cultural elegance of Pixar's Coco, a story that celebrated Mexico in a way that felt authentic and pure no matter what my reservations might have been with the film as a whole, this one can't also help but feel moderately insensitive, the Spanish flavor that could have made this adaptation sing sadly missing for the majority of the picture. I'm just not bullish on it, the finished product a minor disappointment I cannot imagine I will ever purposefully watch again.
