GOOD RIDDANCE AUSTRALIAN TOUR APRIL 2018
12 February 2018 /in Good Riddance /by Resist Records
Good Riddance is a hardcore punk band from Santa Cruz, California which was formed in the early 1990s. The band grew out of California's vibrant surfing and skateboarding culture and was influenced by such bands as Black Flag, The Adolescents, TSOL and Bad Religion as well as East Coast bands like Sick Of It All and the Cro Mags.
With the release of their debut album "For God And Country" in 1995 on Fat Wreck, over the next decade Good Riddance went on to release seven full length albums and an EP for Fat while crisscrossing the globe dozens of times on tour.
In May 2007 Good Riddance played their final show, fittingly in their hometown of Santa Cruz. The members then went their separate ways to raise families and pursue careers. In 2012 the members of Good Riddance decided to get together and play a few shows again. The reason was simple: they missed the songs.
Good Riddance will be returning to Australia for a national tour this April, with their first show being in Brisbane on April 20 with the tour finishing in Melbourne on April 27.

Phil and Sophie's Little Book of Big Questions
Kleine und große Fragen an die Welt mit Phil und Sophie
by Ina Schmidt
April 2017 / 96pp
This is a quirky and memorable work of children's philosophy, in which the two protagonists – Phil and Sophie – explore ideas about how the world works in a set of thirteen themed investigations. It is an enjoyable, clearly-written book with engaging illustrations, which stands out for its commitment to making philosophy relevant to children's day-to-day lives.
Best friends Phil and Sophie like to spend time together by a little stream near their houses, and they go there whenever they have anything important to discuss. The questions they ask one another include: 'Why does anything at all exist?', 'How do we recognise beauty?', 'What do feelings do to us?', 'How do I know that you're my friend?', 'Who will I be when I grow up?', 'What is right?' and 'What might it be like to be dead?'. Each section opens with a brief introductory consideration of the particular issue, followed by a short account of Sophie and Phil's conversation. At the end of the book the author provides a context for each of the questions posed in the text, citing famous philosophers where appropriate and offering practical encouragement to children to continue with their thinking.
This is a perfect book for inquisitive children of all ages and those who look after them.
Un libro maravilloso que te lleva a reflexionar y a buscar respuestas por cuenta propia.
– Nordbayerischer Kurier
A wonderful book that moves you to reflect and to seek answers yourself.
Ina Schmidt was born in 1973 in Flensburg and studied cultural studies in Lüneburg. While working on a doctorate in philosophy she realised that her principal interest lies in the relationship between philosophy and our everyday life. In 2005 she founded denkraeume, an organisation dedicated to bringing philosophical thought into real life. She writes articles and books, and gives regular talks and presentations. Schmidt lives in Reinbek with her husband, three children and two cats.

Exiles: Away From Home…
Stefan Zweig: Farewell to Europe
(Opens May 12 in NYC at Lincoln Plaza;
June 16 in LA at Laemmle Royal)
For a rich and deeply satisfying look back at Germany between the wars (this time through the eyes of one of its most celebrated exiles), see Maria Schrader's Stefan Zweig: Farewell to Europe. This is a big, beautifully made film, powerful and affective. The screenplay (by Schrader and Jan Schomburg) gives all of Zweig's complexities their due; his refusal to condemn Germany, his ambivalence about his fame, his need for both solitude and for friends and family in exile. Schrader has chosen a cool, objective approach to her subject, which frames the white heat of politics and culture threatening to burst into flame in every sequence, and hooks you from Scene One.
The cast is an Olympian match for the material: Josef Hader (as Zweig); Barbara Sukowa and Aenne Schwarz (as Zweig's first and second wives, both of whom accompanied him abroad en famille), and a host of others (playing the many artists and politicians who were integral to Zweig's circle) create an entirely believable moment when the world was turned upside down and changed forever. Schrader, famous for her role in Aimėe & Jaguar, applies all her acting smarts to her cast's talents and draws a gorgeous film from DP Wolfgang Thaler and editor Hanzjőrg Weißrich.
Because the technical, aesthetic and dramatic elements are always in perfect balance, and the tensions between Zweig's inner life and his public persona heighten the intensity of the portrait, it's as close to total immersion as you can get without actually having been there. Surely you will be inspired to move on to Zweig's novels and essays, which made him the most successful writer of his time and have continued to remain the basis of dozens of films right up to Wes Anderson's Grand Budapest Hotel of 2014. (P.S.: Pay attention to the way the end of Zweig is shot. Fascinating choices!) Deservedly Austria's nominee for Best Foreign Film.
ELIÁN
(Opens May 12 in NYC at Cinema Village;
June 2 at O Cinema Miami Beach)
Full of turbulence and moving at warp speed, Elián will keep you breathless and on the edge of your seat right up to the end of the narrative: Elián Gonzalez was only a little boy when he was found alone, clinging to an inner tube, in the ocean between Havana and Miami. The boat on which he had traveled with his mother, her boyfriend and dozens of Cuban refugees had sunk, and his mother had drowned. Overnight, the beautiful child became a sensation—television crews and reporters swarmed the house where he lived with the Miami aunts, great-uncles and cousins who had claimed him. The media circus exploded into a cause célèbre for Miami's Cuban exiles, always at the boiling point, and for the many public officials who joined the efforts (pro and con) to grant American citizenship to Elián and to prevent his return to Cuba, where his father (who had learned he was gone only after the boy and his mother had fled under cover of darkness) had immediately sought to reclaim his son.
Photo by Shaun Best REUTERS
Eventually, members of Congress and Janet Reno (then Attorney General) determined Elián should live in Cuba with his father. The fire and brimstone that accompanied every twist in the story were shocking in their ferocity. There were daily confrontations on the streets of Miami and Havana; instead of cooling with the passing of time, the violence escalated, with demonstrators, police, Federal agencies, religious institutions and—always—hordes of media pouring accelerant on the flames. The ugliness lasted six months, until Elian's father flew to Andrews Air Force Base to join his son after Federal agents stormed the home in Miami where Elian, hiding in a closet, was literally snatched from the arms of the fisherman who had originally found him. The entire affair could not be forgotten; its after-effects impacted the presidential election of 2000, and US foreign policy for over a decade.
Benefitting from a wealth of footage (which spares us none of the competing opinions and shameful frenzy of the many participants), Elián is still remarkably even-handed. Not only in exposing the disturbing zealotry of the exiles in Miami (which caused the INS the Border Patrol to stage the armed rescue raid that terrified the little boy), but in Cuba as well. Through no fault of his own, Elián had became a pawn in the United States as a symbol of "democracy", and then again in Cuba where, after his return, he was "adopted" by Castro as a symbol of Cuban ideals.
Despite the heat of its subject, this film is told and made by experts who really know their stuff: Ross McDonnell and Tim Golden have, between them, filmed and written prize-winning material that is both intensely emotional and impeccably researched. As I discovered while digging through the internet, Golden published a piece in 1994 (it haunts me still) read article here about how the US destroyed the then-state-of-the-art Cuban health care system, several others about Elián Gonzalez, and a series on the abuses of Guantanamo.
There is no question that Elián will roil your heart and your mind as you are horrified by the brutality of the forces pulling at the traumatized six-year-old. The film also spends quality time with the grownup Elian, who seems to have weathered the storms of politics, just as he once weathered the shipwreck that left him without a mother and at the mercy of forces far beyond his control. Whatever your feelings about the issues, you will be shaken by this chapter of very recent history whose ending still remains to be written. Don't miss it.

Boeing's 7E7 'Dreamliner'
Tuesday, November 18th 2003, 12:00 am
It's an aircraft design generating plenty of buzz in Tulsa, the Boeing 7E7. Designers say they want to give passengers a feeling of more space and control.
It will have 8 seats across the twin-aisle wide-body. A suggested 3-2-3 seating arrangement would allow for bigger bathrooms. Also, each seat on the 7E7 would be 18.5-inches wide.
The jetliner also features larger overhead bins and bigger windows. There's no guarantee any airline will buy the 7E7, in fact, there isn't even a contract for one just yet. But a number of cities including Tulsa want the plant.
In fact, voters approved spending millions of dollars in the Vision 2025 plan to help build it, as an incentive. A Seattle newspaper reported last week Boeing tapped "its" Tulsa plant to be a supplier for the upcoming 7E7.
It specializes in composite material and the 7E7 will be made largely from composites.
The Seattle paper says Tulsa will make some of the 7E7's wing components.

2017 Acura ILX is a Pleasant Surprise

I have been an automotive journalist receiving press vehicles every week for over 25 years. It takes a lot to surprise me but recently a 2017 Acura ILX with the Tech Plus & A-Spec packages did just that in a very positive way.
When I first got in the Acura I was greeting by the look, feel and smell of a Honda family product. But once I drove away I was impressed by two items right away for a front drive car this is very neutral good handling machine and wow this a true dual clutch transmission
The 2017 Acura ILX is a focused and comfortable compact sedan on the first rung of the Acura luxury ladder.
Last year, the Acura ILX received a slight refresh in front and back. Inside for 2017 you will find improved interior materials and some changes at the center of the dash, where connectivity features have been given an upgrade with the introduction of Acura's dual-screen infotainment systems to the ILX. Also for 2017 gets the same 2.4-liter inline-4 and dual-clutch setup as Acura's next-larger model the TLX. The power rating is 201 horsepower along with 180 pound-feet of torque (up 10 lb-ft over the previous 2.4-liter).
There's solid-feeling construction throughout, with quality materials, and fit and finish is very good. Acura improved cabin refinement and quietness back in 2017 with thicker glass and noise-attenuating wheels; and that's in addition to the smart active noise cancellation system Acura made standard for the lineup last year.
The 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox uses a torque converter for low-speed smoothness, yet its shifts are super-quick during high-performance driving, with rev-matched downshifts and good driver control through steering-wheel shift paddles. The dual-clutch transmission is superb and a near-perfect pairing of smoothness and responsiveness. Without question at this price point a true dual clutch unit is rare and it transform the way the drive performs when pushed hard, clicking off shifts at in a milli-second.
The 2017 ILX achieves EPA ratings of 25 mpg city, 35 highway, 29 combined with this powertrain. Again this dual-clutch automatic transmission is a gem. It automates the function of a manual transmission for quicker shifting and, while similar transmissions are available from several manufacturers, the Acura version has a twist: There's also an old-school torque converter, providing a torque boost and smoother operation overall.
The suspension and steering are equally fun just cruising around town, or exploring your favorite mountain road. This one of the better handling front drive vehicles on the road. at any price.
The Acura ILX is much quieter since its 2016 upgrade, making it less stressful to drive, and sportier since you can now hear the 2.4-liter 4-cylinder's satisfying note. Beyond that the interior uses good materials, with only a few hard plastic touches as reminders that you bought on a budget. The comfortable front seats are matched with comfortable rears, and the driver's controls are mostly easy to use. My A-Spec test model seats had unique fabric and gray contrast stitching. along with 18 inch wheels and some suspension tweaks,
Acura calls its multi-lensed LED headlight treatment "Jewel Eye," and it's definitely distinctive.. The 2017 ILX adds a separate bar of LED running lights, and overall it looks nice. The grille treatment, taillights, front and rear bumpers, and the rest of the exterior design manage to look distinctly different from the Honda Civic upon which the ILX is based.
All 2017 Acura ILX models come standard with the 2.4-liter engine and 8-speed automatic transmission. They also come fairly well loaded with other features, including a rearview camera with multiple views, automatic headlights, dual-zone GPS-linked climate control, passive entry with push-button start, and an 8-way power driver's seat. Even base models get heated front seats, and part of the ILX's quiet is thanks to noise abating wheels and active noise cancellation.
A base 2017 Acura ILX will run you just under $29,000 when you include the $940 destination charge. Move up to the Premium Package and you're looking at just under $31,000, and the Technology Plus model comes in at just under $34,000. The ILX costs thousands less than the base model Audi A3 or Mercedes-Benz CLA250, especially when you start adding options to those other cars.
Overall the 2017 Acura ILX is full of pleasant surprises which makes it a great value in compact entry-level luxury sedan world.

GUIDEBOOKS TO SIN: THE BLUE BOOKS OF STORYVILLE, NEW ORLEANS
by Pamela D. Arceneaux
with a foreword by Emily Epstein Landau
published by The Historic New Orleans Collection February 3, 2017
hardcover • 9" × 12" • 160 pp
320 color images
$50 • £35
Between 1897 and 1917, a legal red-light district thrived at the edge of the French Quarter, helping establish the notorious reputation that adheres to New Orleans today. Though many scholars have written about Storyville, no thorough contemporary study of the blue books-directories of the neighborhood's prostitutes, featuring advertisements for liquor, brothels, and venereal disease cures-has been available until now.
Pamela D. Arceneaux's examination of these rare guides invites readers into a version of Storyville created by its own entrepreneurs. A foreword by the historian Emily Epstein Landau places the blue books in the context of their time, concurrent with the rise of American consumer culture and modern advertising. Illustrated with hundreds of facsimile pages from the blue books in The Historic New Orleans Collection's holdings, Guidebooks to Sin illuminates the intersection of race, commerce, and sex in this essential chapter of New Orleans history.
"Guidebooks to Sin is the single most comprehensive and authoritative guide to Storyville's notorious blue books. Pamela D. Arceneaux carefully sorts out the genuine and the fake, the accurate and the apocryphal, to produce an invaluable resource for historians, collectors, and anyone interested in New Orleans history."
-Gary Krist, author of Empire of Sin
"A classy, smart look at Storyville."
-Christine Wiltz, author of The Last Madam
"Anyone who wants to take a very close and careful look at these sources, for pleasure or for analytical purposes, should use this book as their guide. The provenance chapter, tracing how those publications were collected and then transferred over time between discerning collectors interested in rare books and, only later, the history of New Orleans, is an interesting tale in and of itself."
-Alecia P. Long, author of The Great Southern Babylon
From the foreword by Emily Epstein Landau
"'To know a thing or two, and know it direct, go through this little book and read it carefully.' These words come from Storyville's infamous blue books, and one would be wise to follow this advice with regard to the present volume, ably written and composed by Pamela D. Arceneaux: to know a thing or two about the blue books, read on! . . .
The blue books were tour guides to Storyville, New Orleans's notorious turn-of-the-century red-light district. They were directories of prostitutes and houses of prostitution, and they provide a rare window onto this infamous demimonde. They also help us situate Storyville within larger cultural contexts, such as the development of big business and advertising as part of America's transition into a consumer society during the same time period. And so, the books reveal something about Storyville's place in these broader transformations."
-Emily Epstein Landau

Kate Middleton Suits Up in a Sleek Navy Blazer Layered over a Salmon-Colored Sweater

November 23, 2020, 11:23 AM ·1 min read
From Harper's BAZAAR
In a recent video posted to the Kensington Royal Instagram, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, suited up in some sleek apparel.
Promoting the to-be-announced results from her "5 Big Questions on the Under 5s" survey, Kate layered a dark navy blazer over a salmon-colored sweater, paired with sensible black trousers. The duchess accessorized with a gold charm necklace by British jeweler Alex Monroe, which she previously wore in a video announcing the end of her "Hold Still" photography exhibition. The necklace's charms are etched with the likenesses of fossils, animals, and other botanicals.
The U.K.-wide public survey expands on Kate's work on early childhood development. Commissioned by The Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Ipsos MORI conducted the survey between January 22 and February 21. More than half a million people ended up participating.
"Earlier this year, we asked you five big questions about raising our under-fives. We wanted to hear what you think about the importance of the earliest years of our children's lives," the duchess said in the video. "More than half a million of you answered that call."
She continued, "We've taken your input and combined it with even more public research to produce the U.K.'s biggest-ever study on the early years. This year has been a hugely challenging time for us all, and there hasn't been a more important moment to talk about families."
The duchess will announce the official survey results later this week.
