Channel 7's Today Tonight is doing an item on "Interest Only Mortgages"–like the product that ING has recently promoted–and the whole housing bubble issue.
They are looking for anyone who has been "burnt" by either an interest-only loan, or a loan that was predicated on the expectation that house prices would always rise–as is ING's new product–who is willing to be interviewed about the experience on camera.
The item is being put together by James Thomas, who did the excellent–and yes, I do mean excellent!–"Changing Times" on debt deflation in February of last year (unfortunately the clip is no longer available online). I can vouch for James's professionalism and tact: the item will be well constructed, and interviewees will be treated well.
This presentation was noted by a blog member today. Take particular note of slides 21–20 which compare the balance sheets of US and UK banks to that of one Australian bank, the Commonwealth.
Also a quick note that the site's server crashed this morning and had to be restored from backups. Several blog comments were lost, including some from new members. These records of these new members might also have been lost, so if that applies to you, please rejoin and resend your comment.
Jim Stanford, the author of the popular Economics for Everyone (from which the cartoon to the left is taken), and I spoke at a double bill on the global debt crisis for the venerable Sydney institution "Politics in the Pub" last night.
We had a full house for an provocative evening on why the Dismal Science is neither necessarily Dismal, nor anything close to a Science, and why the debt crisis is still with us.
Jim, as well as being an outstanding non-orthodox economist, is also a very engaging speaker–as I whispered to the Chair (Professor Frank Stilwell, from Sydney University's Department of Political Economy) while Jim spoke, he was a very hard act to follow!
Steve Keen (University of Western Sydney), receiving more than twice as many votes as his nearest rival, has been judged the economist who first and most cogently warned the world of the coming Global Financial Crisis. He and 2nd and 3rd place finishers Nouriel Roubini (New York University) and Dean Baker (Center for Economic and Policy Research) have won the Revere Award for Economics. The award, sponsored by the Real World Economics Review Blog is named in honour of Paul Revere and his famous ride through the night to warn Americans of the approaching British army.
Dr Jim Stanford, Canadian Auto Workers Union, author of 'Economics for Everyone' and presenter of last year's Ted Wheelwright lecture at the University of Sydney.
Associate Professor Steve Keen, University of Western Sydney, author of DeBunking Economics and recently well publicised walker to the top of Mount Kosiosko.
The Keen Walk to Kosciuszko was a fabulous experience—as Matt Carroll (one of the organizers) put it, it was "the best holiday ever". That's not to minimize the effort involved: covering 235 kilometres on foot in 8 days is no mean feat. But the combination of great company, personal success for all involved in an impressive physical challenge, lovely scenery, excellent weather, and a cause that united a remarkable group of people, made The Walk far more pleasure than pain.
After Australian house prices rose 20 percent in one year, everyone's talking a bubble. Channel Ten's new(ish) avant-garde current affairs program asked for my perspective on the day the RBA yet again increased interest rates.
After leading in with the news and a feature on Neil Roberston, the 26-year-old Australian snooker player who won the World Championship, the story on house prices began 4 minutes and 5 seconds into the video below.
The news that the Rudd Government was rolling back its changes to Australia's foreign investment rules on housing came as we were still on The Walk. Just prior to starting it, I received a note from Dr John Daffy, with the following letter from him to the PM attached. I asked John whether I could publish his letter on the blog, and he agreed.
Just as the absence of statistics on foreign purchasers means we'll never really know the impact they had on the market, we'll probably never know how many individuals like Dr Daffy sent similar letters to their MPs and the PM; but judging from the rapid backflip on that policy, there must have been plenty.
Edward Fullbrook, the editor of the Real World Economics Review that created the Dynamite Prize in Economics and the Revere Award, has just sent out the message reproduced below.
Voting for the Revere Award for Economics for the three economists who first and most clearly anticipated and gave public warning of the Global Financial Collapse and whose work is most likely to prevent another GFC in the future, will close in a few days. Please vote. So far the number of people voting has been disappointing. To stimulate interest, the poll has now been set to reveal to you the current results once you have cast your votes. You can vote for three. To view a timeline and to vote now, click here . It takes only seconds. By voting you reward the deserving.


Dear God, my thinking fills so quickly with my own preoccupations. I shut myself away to seek you, yet within moments I cease listening for your voice. My attention turns instead to my hopes and fears of the day.
Upend my thinking, Lord! I have worn a groove, pacing back and forth in my own self-regard. Sweep in like a storm, fix my attention upon my relationship with you. Let me hold onto you desperately.
In times of quiet, dependence on you appears optional. Let me not be so listless. Drive me to you. Force me.
Lord, take away my illusion of choice.

Q: Trying to Create a Flex Box in A Flex Box I have a footer which is under a section that is already in a flexbox. So,  is both a flex-item of the .main flex-box AND it is a flex-container for a separate flex-box made up of the five s as flex-items. I was rtying to using flex column, but the flex box was already created.
I'm trying to layout the five footer links using flexbox, assigning equal width to each and centering each within its box. Also setting a width for the container.
I can't seem to figure this out since it is under one section. I need help figuring out how to make this flexbox.

  * {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

 ::before,
 ::after {
  box-sizing: inherit;
}

main {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
}

.explanation,
.participation {
  flex-direction: row;
  flex: 1 0 calc(50% - 2em);
  border: 1px solid green;
  margin: 1em;
}

.benefits,
.requirements {
  flex-direction: column;
  flex: 1 1 100%;
  margin: 1em;

Janelle Monae net worth is
Janelle Monae Wiki Biography
Janelle Monae Robinson was born on the 1st December 1985 in Kansas City, Kansas USA. Janelle Monae earned her fame and net worth through her musical talents, as she is a professional singer and producer. Her name is most represented in the R&B genre; however, she is also involved in the soul, funk and pop genres. She has been an active member of the music industry since 2003.
Have you ever wondered how rich Janelle Monae is? According to sources, it is estimated that Janelle Monae`s net worth is $4 million, an amount acquired through her successful music career. As of today, she has released two studio albums, "ArchAndroid" in 2010 and "Electric Lady" in 2013. Furthermore, she has won a number of awards, including for the Outstanding Music Video in 2014 by the NAACP Image Awards.
Janelle Monae Net Worth $4 Million
Janelle's childhood was nothing to brag about, as her mother and dad were drug addicts. However, Janelle succeeded in getting away from that world with the help of her music talents, as she has been dedicated to music since her early days. She was a member of a choir in the local church, excelling in singing and also participating in some musicals at the local Theatre. She continued to develop her talents in high school, and after graduation from the F.L Schlagle High School, she enrolled in the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York on a full scholarship. However, she never finished the academy, because, as she has stated when interviewed, was feeling confined and wanted to write her own musicals.
Soon after she left the college, Janelle moved to Atlanta, Georgia, which would later turn out to be a life-changer, as she started to collaborate with a member of the hip hop group Outcast, Antwan "Big Boi" Patton. This collaboration enabled Janelle to start her own record label, "Wondaland Arts Society", through which she released her debut EP entitled "The Audition" in 2003. However, the EP was not greeted as well as she had hoped as it sold only 400 copies.
Nevertheless, Janelle did not surrender and continued working on her career. In 2007 she released her first EP that would bring her national fame and recognition. She earned a nomination for the Best Urban\Alternative Performance for the single "Many Moons". In addition, she toured with the group "No Doubt" which also increased her fame as well as her total net worth.
In 2010, she went on to record another huge commercial success, her first studio album, entitled "Arch Android". Because of the very nature of the album, as it was meant as a concept, and because of the whole success, Janelle earned a nomination for the Best Contemporary R&B Album award. Her most successful release set the American music scene ablaze as it peaked at number five on the Billboard top 200. It was her second album entitled "Electric Lady", released on the 6th September 2013. Due to her previous successful release, she was able to collaborate with the singers Prince, Solange Knowles and others on this album, which contributed significantly to her fame and net worth.
Overall, her career has been quite successful, and it will continue to grow, as she has signed a deal with the "Epic Records". Adding to her net worth, Janelle has been active throughout 2015, as she has released the single "Yoga" and as well plans to release an EP through her Wondaland Arts Society record label, which will include artists signed for the label.
To talk about her private life, there have been many rumors about her sexuality. However, nothing has been confirmed and Janelle has stated repeatedly that she only dates androids. Nevertheless, Janelle has been recognized as the LGBT activist.

Movies Hidden Figures, Moonlight
1 Often wears minimalistic black-and-white suits with a quiff hairstyle
1 My grandmother had 11 children and although we didn't have a whole lot of money, what we did have was a lot of love. My grandmother was the matriarch. If you didn't have a place to stay, if you needed food, if you were just coming out of jail or rehab, you went to her. Watching her in our family and our wider community was what inspired me and still does.
2 We have to do something about gun laws. And we also have to do something about police brutality towards African American people. We need more allies. People need to continue to speak out about the way African American people are being treated. An injustice to one black man or woman is an injustice to everybody.
3 I had a strong visceral reaction to the Moonlight (2016) script, partly because I felt I knew all of these characters. I grew up with a drug dealer like Juan in my neighborhood who was a mentor to local young people. I had a family member who was addicted to crack, like Paula. Chiron himself reminded me of my little cousin - they were all characters I could relate to from my upbringing. And I've played the role of Teresa in real life: my family and friends always have a shoulder to lean on with me.
4 I've never viewed myself as "just" a musician or singer. I'm a storyteller who wants to tell untold, meaningful, universal stories in unforgettable ways. I want to do it all, study it all and find my place in it.
5 [observation, 2014] I'd be honored to experiment more with holograms and maybe make a whole band - but I love my band. I wouldn't want them to be holograms.
6 I feel myself becoming the fearless person I have dreamt of being. Have I arrived? No. But I'm constantly evolving and challenging myself to be unafraid to make mistakes.
7 I've always wanted people to ask questions about the music. Some songs you get. Some songs you may not. And I think that's the beauty of art: to question and to ask, to understand the deeper meaning after two or three or four listenings. I appreciate that as a writer because sometimes the mystery, when it's gone, is not as interesting. I love the mystery behind things.

Q: What's the difference of 'this' between Nodejs interactive console and file execution runtime? In interactive nodejs console:
> var a = 1;
> console.log(a);
1
> console.log(this.a);
1

so I think
a === this.a

But when I save it in a JS file and execute it, I get different response:
1
undefined

Why this.a is undefined now?

A: When you are executing node from the console, 'this' refers to the global scope of the console. So 'a' automatically gets added to the global, just like declaring a variable in the browser in a similar way would add 'a' to window, i.e. window.a
When executing from the script, 'this' is an object. The variables are not added to the global scope in the same way. Why, I don't know. But this is what appears to be happening.

2 Truths and a Lie with Canadian Technology Leaders

Certification Debate Revisited
Liam Lahey
@itbusinessca
Published: October 30th, 2002
Professional designations are so important that in some cases, they can make or break a candidate's chance of getting hired, according to an industry expert.
For example, some organizations ask an applicant up front for a PMP (project management professional) certificate, and if they don't have
it, that's the end of the discussion, says Colin Morris, vice-president of professional development, for the Project Management Institute's Toronto chapter.
The Canadian Information Processing Society's ISP, or Information Service Professional designation is almost 10 years old, but it isn't as popular with CIPS members as its executive would like.
Of the association's roughly 10,000 regular members across the country, only 1,600 are ISP-certified, according to Karen Lopez, director of professional standards for CIPS. Members' lack of enthusiasm for obtaining the designation is somewhat of a mystery to Lopez.
""We ask ourselves the same question,"" she admits. ""In a booming economy, where anyone who can spell HTML can get a job, perhaps it's seen (simply) as a means of getting a job rather than a mark of a reliable certification.""
Marilyn Harris says there's a dearth of ISPs in Canada because many people working in IT aren't qualified to pursue it.
""I'm not an ISP holder and I won't be going for the designation simply because I'm not qualified,"" says the former CIPS president who is a director of KLR Consulting in Victoria. ""A lot of CIPS members are interested in the ISP designation but they're simply not qualified (to pursue it). It encourages people to upgrade their skills and maintain those skills through continuing education. If the qualifications were easy, the designation would hold no value.""
But Greg Michetti, a CIPS member — though not an ISP — and the president of Michetti Information Solutions Inc. in Edmonton, questions the value of the designation in the private sector.
""It's important when you're dealing with a government contract or a large organization,"" Michetti says, but not extremely relevant beyond that.
Lopez says CIPS is trying to change that perspective by placing an even stronger emphasis on the level of professionalism associated with the designation.
""We're working out the details as to how to get that message out effectively to our members and non-members,"" she says.
Many industry certificates are granted without requiring practical experience, she says. The difference with the ISP standard is it requires students to have minimum levels of professional experience and competence. Certified ISPs are required to complete a program of relevant education and practical experience before receiving the designation. They must also commit to ongoing professional development.
CIPS is shifting its recruitment efforts to look beyond it traditional boundaries for new members.
""Originally, our focus was on people who had graduated from computer science programs, but we've now expanded that view and are looking at how to assess people who haven't studied through traditional studies at a university or college,"" Lopez says. ""CIPS is putting its emphasis on being an association of IT professionals, not just a computer club.""
Morris says what differentiates professional designations such as ISP and PMP from other industry-standard certifications is that neither is associated with a specific product or technology. ""There are some 89 different organizations involved in certifying IS professionals,"" Morris says. ""About three-quarters of those associations offer certifications that are directly applicable to a certain product. We're not tied to a commercial product of any kind, I think that's a significant aspect of it.""
Lopez says she's confident the certification is gaining in recognition across the country, citing CIPS research that shows Ontario and Alberta have had success in hiring workers with the ISP designation.

Friday The 13th Folklore and More.
Just getting in a late night post before I turn in. I hope everyone enjoyed their Friday the 13th! As I was reading my local newspaper today I came across an article explaining how Friday the 13th is for some people a type of holiday in which various folklore and superstitions are told and and in a way celebrated. To me it seems funny to celebrate what is purposed to be one of the unluckiest days there is but hey what can I say because some people would say I am weird for celebrating Halloween every single day of my life!
I decided to look up some more history on Friday the 13th and like most things these days I cam across a Wikipedia page for it. In short the Wiki page says that folklorists say there is no written evidence for the Friday the 13th superstition before the 19th century. The earliest known documented reference in English occurs in Henry Sutherland Edwards 1869 biography of Giachino Rossini, who died on a Friday the 13th.
Several theories have been proposed about the origin and one of the most popular is that it is a modern amalgamation of two older superstitions: That thirteen is an unlucky number and Friday is an unlucky day because in numerology the number 12 is considered the number of completeness as is reflected in the months of the year, twelve hours of the clock, twelve gods of Olympus, 12 Apostles of Jesus, and so on and so forth.
So lets all thank the number 13 for showing up to the party uninvited and ruining everything why don't we! I suppose we can at lest thank the 13th for giving us a pretty great iconic horror movie and beloved slasher Jason Voorhees. We love you Jason!
Horror signs is as the name says all about horror signs. From Zombie crossing signs to I Heart Horror Movies license plates, Horror Signs has it all. One of my personal favorite which you can bet I am buying my ToT is the Zombie Bait shirt. The kid below doesn't seem to thrilled about his future but I suppose nobody who is doomed to be the main course at the Zombie shmorgishborg would be to thrilled.
So take a peak at Horror Signs and again, I hope you enjoyed your Friday The 13th! This is the end of our regularly scheduled programming for today..catch you on the flip side!
First let me say it's great to have Hauntcast back! I had fun throwing together The Shrunken Headlines and can't wait to keep bringing you some cool links and news each and every show.
I'm hoping if your reading my posts here that you like the segment and are coming to my blog for some additional goodness. I am going to really start to make a big effort to post here once a day and even expand on some of the headlines since I am trying to pack as much as I can into 7 minutes each show and sometime that's just not enough time.
Double Haunt is an artistic collaboration between two mysterious ghosts. Based on the Sunshine Coast in Australia, they both have a strong interest in art, fashion and toys and have recently started transfering this passion into a physical form by creating resin designer toys and fashion accessories.
But Double Haunt lots more to offer so definitely check out their website when you can because I am sure you will find something cool for your home or office.
I am going to try and keep digging up some cool dirt for you cool ghouls to check out and as always if you have any cool sites you frequent or if you know of some cool horror toys or merch that you might want me to check out or talk about on the Shrunken Headlines then don't be afraid to point them out to me.
I've got another cool post lined up for tomorrow so stay frightful until then!

Each time the customer wanted to borrow money, he had to present the tile to the bank teller, who would compare the imprinted credit limit with how much the customer had already borrowed. If the borrower were past the limit, the teller did something to the tile on the spot. What did the teller do and what word originated as result?
Answer 9: The teller broke the tile. Hence, someone who has no money today is called broke.
Question 10: Stretching 22 miles, this famous street follows the path taken by the old cattle trail from Pueblo de Los Angeles to the Pacific Ocean. It is bounded by Figueroa Street at one end and Pacific Coast Highway intersection at the other end. What?
Answer 10: Sunset Boulevard

Sony Shows The Future Of Next-Gen VR With Prototype Headset
By DAMN OS on December 7, 2021
The tester is using the prototype. If this makes it to retail, of course, the product version will look different.
Screenshot: Sony
Today, Sony held an online event called Sony Technology Day to showcase different technology that the company is developing. One presentation showed Sony's prototype for an 8K VR headset.
The prototype uses two small 4K displays, creating an 8K viewing experience. This is not the first 8K headset, and the above image does not show a finalized commercial product. With the prototype, Sony is integrating low latency tech to allow for a realistic, yet natural and comfortable VR experience. If the final product does what Sony says is possible, then this could help an even greater number of people enjoy VR without motion sickness or other issues.
Here is a concept version of the headset.
"We aim to achieve smaller, lighter, ultra high-resolution head-mounted displays and to create spaces for people to interact over the network," said Sony's Kei Kimura of the company's R&D Center. "Ultimately, we'd like to create an astonishing sense of immersion for remote collaboration and sharing."
One reason that current generation VR might be uncomfortable for some users is that it's possible to see pixels. However, Sony says by increasing the number of dots in the OLED microdisplays, it's possible to show greater detail and avoid pixelization. By reducing the latency through data from the sensors, users can freely look around without
feeling dizzy. All of this allows users to look closer at objects in the virtual world, creating a life-like experience in real time
Here is how Sony describes the tech:
This is a virtual reality (VR) head-mounted display (HMD) that projects a high-definition 3D space and achieves a high-resolution of 4K with one eye and 8K with both eyes. High image quality is achieved through multi-pixel and miniaturization using fine processing and advanced packaging technology cultivated through the development and manufacture of CMOS image sensors, and Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) microdisplay using device and circuit technology cultivated through the development of displays. The processing time is reduced by decreasing the amount of latency throughout the entire system thanks to the integration of data from multiple sensors. The person watching in VR can experience high-definition images in real time according to the movement of his/her head.
G/O Media may get a commission
75″ TCL Mini LED TV
Normally $2,300, the TCL 6-Series boasts a 4K QLED screen with Dolby Vision and HDR10+ and access to thousands of apps on Google TV.
Sony sees this VR tech finding its way into gaming and other types of entertainment like music, as well as in medical training and even industrial manufacturing.
Here's another shot of the concept version of the headset.
As someone who's had some good experiences in VR but many not-so-
good ones, efforts to make the experience more natural and less nauseous are welcomed.

Hermann Kermit Warm is going to die: Eli and Charlie Sisters can be counted on for that. Though Eli has never shared his brother's penchant for whiskey and killing, he's never known anything else. On the road to Warm's gold-mining claim outside San Francisco -- and from the back of his long-suffering one-eyed horse -- Eli struggles to make sense of his life without abandoning the job he's sworn to do.
Patrick DeWitt, acclaimed author of Ablutions, doffs his hat to the classic Western, and then transforms it into a comic tour-de-force with an unforgettable narrative voice that captures all the absurdity, melancholy, and grit of the West -- and of these two brothers, bound to each other by blood and scars and love.
In Sisters Brothers DeWitt has created a thoroughly enjoyable Western that suits a contemporary reader. The Sisters brothers are a duo that I was easily able to picture and set in the time and world that DeWitt creates in the novel, and I found myself recalling them and their mis(adventures) long after I finished the book. This is a novel not for the faint of heart. My only wish is that it had been longer.
A really odd book. No beginning or end. Just a middle.
Very entertaining - from the very first page to the last. I found myself laughing out loud many times !!!

The Year That Was – Part 1 of 2
My six favorite albums of 2021
After feeling a bit lukewarm initially about the thought of looking back at 2021, a year I'd rather forget in many regards, I'm glad I decided to proceed. After all, there was lots of great new music – music that undoubtedly helped me cope with challenges this tiresome pandemic presented.
This review is split into two parts. Part 1 revisits my favorite 2021 albums I covered during the past year. Part 2 presents highlights from Best of What's New, my weekly recurring feature looking at newly released songs. While it would have been easy to feature some of the same artists in both parts, I deliberately avoided overlap.
Altogether, I reviewed more than 20 albums over the past 12 months. After excluding archives releases, such as Neil Young's Carnegie Hall 1970 and Young Shakespeare, and reissues like Tom Petty's Angel Dream (Songs and Music from the Motion Picture "She's the One"), I narrowed the list to 17 albums. Following are six I like in particular.
Rev. Peyton's Big Damn Band/Dance Songs for Hard Times
Rev. Peyton's Big Damn Band is an unusual country blues trio, and it's not only because of their funny name. The group, which has been around since 2003, consists of Josh "The Reverend" Peyton (guitar, lead vocals), his wife "Washboard" Breezy Peyton (washboard) and Max Senteney (drums). Notably, they don't have a bassist. Peyton, a great guitarist, compensates with skillful fingerstyle playing that includes the prominent use of his thumb to play bass lines. Dance Songs for Hard Times, the trio's 10th full-length album, was released on April 9. You can read more about it here. To get an idea, check out the amazing Too Cool to Dance and tell me this doesn't rock!
John Hiatt with The Jerry Douglas Band/Leftover Feelings
One of my big "discoveries" this year is John Hiatt, an artist whose name I've known for 30-plus years but had not started to explore until earlier this year – well, better late than never! On May 21, Hiatt released a great collaboration album with Dobro resonator guitar master Jerry Douglas. They were backed by Jerry Douglas Band members Mike Seal (acoustic and electric guitar), Daniel Kimbro (bass, string arrangements) and Christian Sedelmyer (fiddle). You can read more about Leftover Feelings here, which was recorded at Nashville's historic RCA Studio B during the Covid shutdown. Here's a little sample: Mississippi Phone Booth, written by Hiatt.
Southern Avenue/Be the Love You Want
Southern Avenue, a five-piece from Memphis, Tenn., are one of my favorite contemporary groups, blending blues and soul with contemporary R&B. Founded in 2015, this great band features Ori Naftaly (guitar), Tierinii Jackson (lead vocals), her sister Tikyra Jackson (drums, backing vocals), Jeremy Powell (keyboards) and Evan Sarver (bass). On August 27, their third album Be the Love You Want came out. While it feels like a bigger and more contemporary production compared to the band's first two records and there's a guest appearance by pop artist Jason Mraz, at its core, this still sounds very much like Southern Avenue's music I've come to love: A tasty blend of blues, soul, funk and gospel, combined with elements of modern R&B. You can read more about it here. And here's Push Now.
The Wild Feathers/Alvarado
The Wild Feathers, formed in Nashville, Tenn. in 2010, combine elements of country rock, southern rock, classic rock, blues and folk with multi-part harmony singing – a quite attractive combination! The group's current lineup includes founding members Taylor Burns (guitar, vocals), Ricky Young (guitar, vocals), Brett Moore (guitar, mandolin) and Joel King (bass, vocals), together with Ben Dumas (drums). On October 8, they released their fifth studio album Alvarado. According to an exclusive preview by American Songwriter, The Wild Feathers wrote and recorded the album in a small cabin located an hour northwest of Nashville, the same place in which they conceived predecessor Medium Rarities. You can read more about Alvarado here. To get an idea, I give you Side Street Shakedown, a great rocker co-written by King, Young and Burns.
The Brandy Alexanders/The Brandy Alexanders
The Brandy Alexanders are a psychedelic pop-rock band from Canada, which was formed in 2016. The members include brothers Alex Dick (lead vocals, guitar) and Daniel Dick (keyboards), along with Sean Shepherd (lead guitar), Zack Vivier (bass) and Robbie Cervi (drums). They were discovered in 2019 by Renan Yildizdogan, the founder of independent label Gypsy Soul Records, who saw the group at a local performance venue in Toronto and subsequently signed them. On December 10, The Brandy Alexanders released their eponymous debut album. For more on that, click here. And here's the great-sounding opener Ceiling Fan, Man.
Neil Young & Crazy Horse/Barn
Neil Young has been on a roll this year. In addition to the aforementioned solo releases from his archives, he put out Way Down in the Rust Bucket, another excellent archives release of a 1990 live concert with Crazy Horse. Speaking of Young's longtime backing band, there was a record with new songs, Barn, his 41st studio release and 14th album with Crazy Horse. It appeared on December 10 as well. Recorded in a converted barn high in the Rocky Mountains, Barn sounds charmingly ragged, relaxed and spontaneous – like classic Crazy Horse! Click here for my album review and check out Heading West!
Additional 2021 albums I'd like to at least briefly acknowledge include Exit Wounds (The Wallflowers), Many a Mile (Blue Rodeo), Long Lost (Lord Huron), Dirty Honey (Dirty Honey) and The Battle at Garden's Gate (Greta Van Fleet). Stay tuned for Part 2 of this year-in-review feature, which will include songs from these artists.

The Brandy Alexanders Debut with Intoxicating Melodic Psych Rock
A Brandy Alexander is a brandy-based dessert cocktail, which according to Wikipedia was John Lennon's favorite drink. It wasted him and Harry Nilsson at the Troubador in March 1974, and eventually, they were kicked out of the prominent Los Angeles nightclub after they had heckled the performing act and Lennon reportedly had hit a waitress. The potent drink also inspired the name of Canadian psychedelic rock band The Brandy Alexanders who released their eponymous debut album last Friday (December 10). The sound is quite melodic and, yes, intoxicating.
The Brandy Alexanders were formed by brothers Alex Dick (lead vocals, guitar) and Daniel Dick (keyboards) in 2016, notes the band's biography. The brothers, who write the group's lyrics and music, had started their musical journey in high school where they formed two now-defunct bands. Sean Shepherd (lead guitar), Zack Vivier (bass) and Robbie Cervi (drums) complete the group's line-up.
The Brandy Alexanders describe their music as follows: Somewhere in the expanse between the Dark Side of The Moon and Abbey Road – Psychedelic Rock band, The Brandy Alexanders, take you to a parallel universe. Introspective, and almost existential lyrics are expressed via dream like vocals that weave themselves into a wall of propulsive guitar riffs, textured synths and a bold rhythm section. Jeez, couldn't have said it any better! 🙂
In 2019, Renan Yildizdogan, the founder of Gypsy Soul Records, saw The Brandy Alexanders at a local performance venue in Toronto. He subsequently signed them, and their debut appears on the independent label. During an interview with Canadian Beats, the band said the album's album origin was a 2016 EP, which eventually developed into the nine tracks that are out now. Time for some music. Unless noted otherwise, all tracks are credited to Alexander Dick and Shawn Dawson.
Here's the opener Ceiling Fan, Man. The tune first appeared as the album's lead single on August 27. It's got a cool riff and a big sound that drew me in. Here's the official video – quite trippy!
Shiram is a nice rocker. In addition to the fuzzy guitar, I like the keyboard work on this track.
Hey, Why'd You Do It is another song with a great riff and a cool sound. It's just catchy.
Next up: Live by the Light, a tune solely written by Alex Dick, and the band's new single. "This song evolved over the course of two years, eventually adding the chorus and the unison guitar part after Alex and Dan did multiple demos," the band told Canadian Beats. I dig the groove. And once again, the sound is great!
The last track I'd like to highlight is the closer Spaceopus, a co-write by the two brothers. And, yes, it's spacey and has an epic feel to it!
I came across The Brandy Alexanders by coincidence. For some reason, I didn't see their new album when I checked iTunes for new releases last Friday. While it does get a bit repetitive after some time, the sound of this band is pretty compelling. I look forward to more of their music in the future.

Are Lena Dunham and Jack Antonoff Getting Married Now That Gay Marriage Is Legal?
By Rosalyn Oshmyansky 2:26 PM PDT, June 26, 2015
Lena Dunham and Jack Antonoff may just be the next celebrity secret wedding.
The Girls star has always been outspoken about how she won't get married to Jack Antonoff, her boyfriend of three years, until her sister Grace was able to.
"We're not against marriage," the 29-year-old writer-producer-actor told Howard Stern last year. "But I wanna wait ... my sister is gay and it just doesn't feel good to me to do something she can't do."
Friday was that happy day when the Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 decision that same-sex marriage would be legal in all 50 states. And now it looks like she's giving Jack a little nudge.

"Get on it, yo...," she tweeted him hours after the announcement. Does that sound like a subtle message to propose to anyone else?

Prior to the marriage hint, Lena tweeted out a series of tweets expressing her excitement about the historic moment.
Likewise, the Bleachers frontman could barely contain his excitement about the big news.

Virginia has been in the news for redistricting, mostly for the 2016 redistricting decision.
In 2016, a panel of federal judges redrew the congressional voting districts of Virginia and changed the way that we vote. Since then, multiple challenges have been raised by different congressional representatives and nonprofit organizations. What's wrong with Virginia districts? Why does redistricting draw so much ire? What can be done about it?


With these beautiful West Indian baby bangles, you can give your children the memorable jewelry your ancestors gave you, and keep this beautiful tradition alive. The delicate flower ends are stylish and pretty, perfect for a princess. These solid .925 sterling silver bangles are hand-crafted and semi-flexible, so they can be expanded to fit larger wrist sizes. Traditionally, these are worn in pairs.
- These are perfect as your baby's first pair of bangles. These are very thin and dainty.


This 1950s vintage brocade dress had a very high waist, as typical of the era. Our client wanted the bodice elongated for a better fit, but as there was little seam allowance on the waist seam, we inserted a panel in red, to match the red in the brocade. we also removed the front bow, reusing the ribbon to improve the shoulder straps.

Continue reading the table of contents
Chapter 18 - Policy on penalties
Chapter 18 - Section 1
Chapter 18 - Section 10
Employer penalties Footnote 1 are authorized under EIA 39 and subject to the same considerations of fact, balance of probabilities and mitigating circumstances as are claimant penalties. The same legislation applies to an employer as to a claimant with regard to amending or rescinding a penalty Footnote 2 .
By policy, the Commission imposes a penalty under EIA 39(4) only when the evidence concludes an employer issued or sold a Record of Employment when there was no employment relationship: this can mean no work was performed or no services provided. In very rare cases, it can also mean that an employer issued a Record of Employment knowing that the employee was not insurable.
A penalty may also be imposed under EIA 39(4) when there was a genuine employment relationship, but the employer misrepresented information in a manner that allowed the claimant to qualify for benefits — examples of this would be increasing the hours of insured employment to meet the qualification conditions of EIA 7/7.1, or issuing a ROE knowing there was no interruption of earnings or recording a quit or dismissal as a lay-off. In other words, the correct information would have prevented payment of EI benefits entirely; the incorrect information did, or would have, resulted in benefits being paid Footnote 3 .
Any other employer misrepresentation, including situations when a Record of Employment is correctly issued but contains misrepresentative information – such as modifying the insurable hours to increase the number of payable weeks, or modifying the earnings to allow a higher benefit rate, or failing to correctly declare the reason for separation when issuing the ROE – is subject to penalty under EIA 39(2).
A violation cannot be recorded against a corporation or a non-insured person. A violation may be recorded when the Commission imposes a monetary penalty or warning letter against, or successfully prosecutes, an insured person acting on the employer's behalf, or on a third party misrepresenting him or her self as an employer.
Please note that although there is provision under EIA 39(5) and EIA 54(g.1) to impose a higher penalty for a major contravention, this provision can only be used if, and when, the Commission creates a regulation to govern how the clauses are applied. There is no such regulation, so these clauses cannot be used in calculating an employer penalty.
The legislation authorizes the Commission to impose a penalty on any employer, corporation or an individual director, officer or agent of a corporation, when the evidence concludes misrepresentation. When addressing employer penalties, there is no restriction on the number of parties against which penalties can be imposed. For example, if a penalty of $4,000.00 is assessed against the corporation, another penalty of $4,000.00 can be assessed against an officer and an additional $4,000.00 against an employee (or agent) acting on behalf of the employer. Conversely, if the Commission determines the false statement was made only by an agent of the employer and the employer had no knowledge of that statement, it may impose a penalty only against that agent.
By policy, the Commission does not impose a penalty on the employer if the employee or agent acted in a manner that breaches the employment relationship, providing the false information despite the employer's precautions to correctly control that information and without the employer's knowledge.
As with a claimant penalty, the presence of misrepresentation determines whether a penalty applies to the employer. Misrepresentation may include, but is not restricted to:
a false Record of Employment;
a Record of Employment containing false information; or
any other written or verbal disclosure communicating false information to the Commission.
By policy, the Commission only applies the provisions of EIA 39(4) when the employer provides a false Record of Employment, or a Record of Employment with false information. This includes information provided verbally or in writing with respect to clarifying or correcting Record of Employment information. Penalties for all other misrepresentations are calculated under EIA 39(2).
A penalty is imposed under EIA 39(2) when the evidence concludes misrepresentation in any situation except if that misrepresentation involves the issuance or sale of a Record of Employment when there was no employment relationship.
The amount of an overpayment is not relevant in an employer penalty. An employer is not paid benefits, so no overpayment can occur for the employer. The legislation does not link the value of a claimant's overpayment to the employer penalty provisions.
The principle of greater consequences for repetitive misrepresentation is applied in employer penalty Footnote 4 . A penalty considered under EIA 39(2) is subject to maximums based on a finding of first, second or third (or more) infraction:
Level of misrepresentation
Maximum penalty
First Per misrepresentation, three times the maximum weekly benefit rate in effect when the penalty is imposed
Second Per misrepresentation, six times the maximum weekly benefit rate in effect when the penalty is imposed
Third/More Per misrepresentation, nine times the maximum weekly benefit rate in effect when the penalty is imposed
Unlike a claimant penalty, an employer penalty is not calculated based on the maximum benefit rate when the false statement occurred. It is based on the maximum benefit rate that exists when the penalty is imposed.
Once the initial calculation is complete, the penalty is reduced if there are mitigating circumstances. As with a claimant, a mitigating circumstance does not remove a finding of misrepresentation, but does reduce the amount of the penalty Footnote 5 .
By policy, the Commission imposes an employer penalty under EIA 39(4) only when the misrepresentation involves the issuance or sale of a Record of Employment when the claimant did not work, did not provide services or was not an employee as defined by the Canada Revenue Agency (that is, the work was not insurable). The Record of Employment is a critical document in Employment Insurance and its misuse constitutes a fundamental violation of trust, triggering a stringent approach to the penalty process.
Penalties assessed under EIA 39(4) are unique. It is the only time when the Commission imposes the greater of two calculations of the penalty amounts.
EIA 39(4) allows a maximum penalty of $12,000.00. By policy, the Commission imposes more severe penalties with greater levels of infraction. The legislated maximum applies to third or greater infractions:
First $ 4,000.00
Second $ 8,000.00
Third/More $12,000.00
Once this maximum is established, the Commission assigns a percentage value to any mitigating circumstances and applies that percentage to the penalty calculation. This is the first value considered.
The Commission then calculates the total value of all penalties imposed under EIA 38 against any person who made a claim for benefits on the basis of the misrepresentation at issue. Mitigating circumstances are not considered in this calculation. EIA 39(4) dictates the greater of these two figures is the employer penalty. An employer penalty assessed under EIA 39(4) is never less than the total of all related claimant penalty or penalties.

Underground Reading: King of Thorns by Mark Lawrence
Joey Hi-Fi's Weirdness Rodeo
Review Round-up: Roadkill, Wifey and the Second Lady
Three more reviews - one good new release and two vintage reads that are, well... kind of awful.
Well, Judy Blume's Wifey (1978) was a disappointment. I saw it on the "40 Trashy Novels to Read Before You Die" list, got it, read it and... I suppose I'm 2.5% more prepared for my eventual demise, but that's cold comfort.
Sandy Pressman is a nice, suburban Jewish housewife with an ostensibly ideal husband, a good country club membership, two fairly decent kids and...why isn't she satisfied? The answer, posits Wifey, is in her fairly crappy sex life. Sandy experiments with experimenting, if that makes sense - this isn't Midwood Press-style adultery porn as much as a frustrated woman's attempts to break free. Mostly it is bawdy comedy as Sandy half-heartedly flirts with being naughty, but her upbringing, social circles and cultural 'training' prevent her from truly cutting loose.
I'm a fan of all suburban literature (I mention this a lot), and I do admire the way that Wifey tackles a lot of the issues of the 'lifestyle': the racism, the classism, the stress of fitting in and the pressure to fit an impossible (unfulfilling) ideal. The incidentals of Wifey - Sandy's experiments with social consciousness, her golf lessons and the struggles with the generation above her - are the most interesting part. Ultimately though, there's no real conclusion, and I was left dissatisfied - Sandy manages to provoke a response from her husband (not a nice one), and, apparently, that - the sense of being noticed - was all she really wanted. I get that as a premise, but it feels like nothing has been resolved, and Wifey could easy be re-read from the beginning: Sandy's life is stuck on a loop of inane misery. Perhaps that was the point?
Still, Wifey was better than the second book I picked off the "40 Trashy Novels" list - Irving Wallace's Second Lady (1980), which was so genuinely terrible I'm in a state of awe. Granted, it was never going to be good - given that the plot is that Soviet agents kidnap the First Lady and replace her with a KGB double. But the story is so ridiculous and fails on so many levels that the terribleness of this book reaches masterful levels. I'll spare the gory details, but in a world where the KGB are more concerned about making sure that their spy "fucks like the First Lady" than, say, dealing with her fingerprints, you get what you deserve. Imagine Tom Clancy fan fiction, turned into a low-budget porn film... then novelised by Piers Anthony.
Also, worst ending ever. All the period reviewers were like SHOCKING TWISTED CLIFFHANGER WOW! And... no. Spoilers! The First Lady and the "Second Lady" are in an explosion (don't ask, doesn't matter). One lives, one doesn't. BUT WHICH ONE? And the protagonists (our Jack Ryan type and the nubile young secretary he's schtupping) are all like "WE'LL NEVER KNOW" Curtain!... except... they will. I mean, first: the whole plot of the book is based around the fact that the "Second Lady" couldn't actually imitate the First Lady for a week, much less "the rest of her life". Second, you could just... ask her questions about that week where they weren't in the same place? Or third, FINGERPRINTS. FFS. But, you know, at least she's convincing in the sack.
Anyway, don't read this book. It was actually so bad that I immediately bought another of Irving Wallace's books just to see if he'd made a career out of being, you know, this bad. Halfway through The Fan Club, I have now drawn the utterly scientific conclusion: "Yes. He is that bad."
Joseph D'Lacey's Roadkill (2013) follows the driver of a stripped-down-but-kitted-out car, a steel box with wheels and a mighty engine. He's driving to an unknown destination at 180 mph. His goal? Beat his opponent and make it... there. As one moment clicks into the next, the reader receives fragments of the broken world - an enslaved childhood, dark heroes, lost cities... But, more importantly, the driver begins to connect with his nameless rival. As the two jockey for position at breathtaking speeds, skimming past impossible obstacles, they not only reach a point of mental singularity with their cars, but also, just a little, one another...
Roadkill isn't horror in the conventional sense. Certainly it is a disturbing landscape, but there's almost a sense of optimism and an infectious air of purpose to the narrator's actions. I associate Mr. D'Lacey more with a sort of visceral, physical style of thriller, but Roadkill is much more, well, New Wave SF. I could see this fitting in to Harlan Ellison's Dangerous Visions, and, again, that's no bad thing at all... The mysterious masterminds over at This is Horror are quietly building one hell of a series with their chapbooks, and Roadkill is my favourite so far.
