The FACTS About Assault Weapons and Crime
Forum Comentary: Mr Lott Jr is the most respected advocate for the 2nd Amendment
By JOHN R. LOTT JR.
Warning about "weapons designed for the theater of war," President Obama on Wednesday called for immediate action on a new Federal Assault Weapons Ban. He said that "more of our fellow Americans might still be alive" if the original assault weapons ban, passed in 1994, had not expired in 2004. Last month, in the wake of the horrific shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.) promised to introduce an updated version of the ban. She too warned of the threat posed by "military weapons."
After the nightmare of Newtown, their concern is understandable. Yet despite being at the center of the gun-control debate for decades, neither President Obama nor Ms. Feinstein (the author of the 1994 legislation) seems to understand the leading research on the effects of the Federal Assault Weapons Ban. In addition, they continue to mislabel the weapons they seek to ban.
Ms. Feinstein points to two studies by criminology professors Chris Koper and Jeff Roth for the National Institute of Justice to back up her contention that the ban reduced crime. She claims that their first study in 1997 showed that the ban decreased "total gun murders." In fact, the authors wrote: "the evidence is not strong enough for us to conclude that there was any meaningful effect (i.e., that the effect was different from zero)."
Messrs. Koper and Roth suggested that after the ban had been in effect for more years it might be possible to find a benefit. Seven years later, in 2004, they published a follow-up study for the National Institute of Justice with fellow criminologist Dan Woods that concluded, "we cannot clearly credit the ban with any of the nation's recent drop in gun violence. And, indeed, there has been no discernible reduction in the lethality and injuriousness of gun violence."
Moreover, none of the weapons banned under the 1994 legislation or the updated version are "military" weapons. The killer in Newtown used a Bushmaster .223. This weapon bears a cosmetic resemblance to the M-16, which has been used by the U.S. military since the Vietnam War. The call has frequently been made that there is "no reason" for such "military-style weapons" to be available to civilians.
Yes, the Bushmaster and the AK-47 are "military-style weapons." But the key word is "style"they are similar to military guns in their cosmetics, not in the way they operate. The guns covered by the original were not the fully automatic machine guns used by the military, but semiautomatic versions of those guns.
The civilian version of the Bushmaster uses essentially the same sorts of bullets as small game-hunting rifles, fires at the same rapidity (one bullet per pull of the trigger), and does the same damage. The civilian version of the AK-47 is similar, though it fires a much larger bullet.30 inches in diameter, as opposed to the .223 inch rounds used by the Bushmaster. No self-respecting military in the world would use the civilian version of these guns.
A common question is: "Why do people need a semiautomatic Bushmaster to go out and kill deer?" The answer is simple: It is a hunting rifle. It has just been made to look like a military weapon.
But the point isn't to help hunters. Semiautomatic weapons also protect people and save lives. Single-shot rifles that require you to physically reload the gun may not do people a lot of good when they are facing multiple criminals or when their first shot misses or fails to stop an attacker.
Since the Federal Assault Weapons Ban expired in September 2004, murder and overall violent-crime rates have fallen. In 2003, the last full year before the law expired, the U.S. murder rate was 5.7 per 100,000 people, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Report. By 2011, the murder rate fell to 4.7 per 100,000 people. One should also bear in mind that just 2.6% of all murders are committed using any type of rifle.
The large-capacity ammunition magazines used by some of these killers are also misunderstood. The common perception that so-called "assault weapons" can hold larger magazines than hunting rifles is simply wrong. Any gun that can hold a magazine can hold one of any size. That is true for handguns as well as rifles. A magazine, which is basically a metal box with a spring, is trivially easy to make and virtually impossible to stop criminals from obtaining. The 1994 legislation banned magazines holding more than 10 bullets yet had no effect on crime rates.
Ms. Feinstein's new proposal also calls for gun registration, and the reasoning is straightforward: If a gun has been left at a crime scene and it was registered to the person who committed the crime, the registry will link the crime gun back to the criminal.
Nice logic, but in reality it hardly ever works that way. Guns are very rarely left behind at a crime scene. When they are, they're usually stolen or unregistered. Criminals are not stupid enough to leave behind guns that are registered to them. Even in the few cases where registered guns are left at crime scenes, it is usually because the criminal has been seriously injured or killed, so these crimes would have been solved even without registration.
Canada recently got rid of its costly "long-gun" registry for rifles in part because the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Chiefs of Police could not provide a single example in which tracing was of more than peripheral importance in solving a gun murder.
If we finally want to deal seriously with multiple-victim public shootings, it's time that we acknowledge a common feature of these attacks: With just a single exception, the attack in Tucson last year, every public shooting in the U.S. in which more than three people have been killed since at least 1950 has occurred in a place where citizens are not allowed to carry their own firearms. Had some citizens been armed, they might have been able to stop the killings before the police got to the scene. In the Newtown attack, it took police 20 minutes to arrive at the school after the first calls for help.
The Bushmaster, like any gun, is indeed very dangerous, but it is not a weapon "designed for the theater of war." Banning assault weapons will not make Americans safer.
Mr. Lott is a former chief economist at the United States Sentencing Commission and the author of "More Guns, Less Crime" (University of Chicago Press, third edition, 2010).
Nice article. But a few points. The .223 AR15 is indeed the same weapon as the M16 used by the US Military, which is self respecting. The only difference is the cam inside the trigger group that allows select fire 3 round burst in the M16. The other notable difference is the nomenclature of the chambering 5.56 NATO, which is the same bullet and shell as the .223 Winchester, but the 5.56 NATO is loaded slightly hotter.
The AR15 is the single fire version of the M16, the parts are interchangeable between each other including different manufacture, therefore it was designed for the field of battle, but has many retro variants now to make it suitable for hunting and sport shooting.
Hunting should completely be removed from any honest discussion about the 2nd amendment. It does not start "A well stocked freezer". The purposes of the 2nd Amendement is so that the people can depose a tyranical government, armed with similarly effective weapons.

Wide-receiver corps quickly losing depth
Sports // College Sports
Rusty Simmons
California head coach Justin Wilcox speaks at the Pac-12 Conference NCAA college football Media Day in Los Angeles, Wednesday, July 25, 2018. (AP Photo/Jae C. Hong)Jae C. Hong / Associated Press
Cal's wide-receiver group, once considered among the conference's best, is starting to look a little thin.
Cal head coach Justin Wilcox said Wednesday that Taariq Johnson, who had a breakout spring camp, is no longer with the team.
That announcement comes on the heels of five-star deep-threat Demetris Robertson transferring to Georgia this month and dynamic slot receiver Melquis Stovall opting for Arizona Western in May.
"You want to keep everybody," Wilcox said. "It's not ideal, but it's just part of the deal. It's a little bit of an anomaly, because there's been more attrition at one position, but we're excited about the guys coming back."
Cal, like most every other school, doesn't have a receiver who can match the speed of Robertson — a sprinter who ran a 4.3-seconds 40-yard dash this spring before he had fully recovered from a sports-hernia surgery.
The Bears do have Kanawai Noa and Vic Wharton III, who combined for 123 catches and 1,659 receiving yards last season. Those numbers rank third and seventh nationally among returning duos, and both receivers recently were named to the Biletnikoff Award watch list.
Wilcox said he thinks additions, like Moe Ways (graduate transfer from Michigan) and Nikko Remigio (four-star freshman from Mater Dei High), can offset some of the losses.
Cal also should get a boost in the passing game from its tight ends, a group that returns Ray Hudson from injury and adds Ian Bunting (graduate transfer from Michigan) and McCallan Castles (four-star freshman from South Lake Tahoe).
Quarterback competition: Wilcox isn't in a hurry to name a starting quarterback, but it's clear that incumbent Ross Bowers has the upper hand heading into the Aug. 3 opening of training camp.
"We have a returner in Ross Bowers, who did some good things last year and has grown a lot in the last year and half," Wilcox said. "Ross has done a nice job since the season ended, working on his body, and did a really nice job in spring. He's a much better player than he was a year ago right now, which is encouraging."
Bowers completed 272 of 461 passes for 3,039 yards and 18 touchdowns as a sophomore last season. He took the majority of the first-team snaps in the spring, although there was a daily competition with senior Chase Forrest, transfer Brandon McIlwain and redshirt freshman Chase Garbers.
Help on the way: When Wilcox said Patrick Laird couldn't carry the ball every time for Cal this season, the senior running back jokingly questioned the coach under his breath. Laird won't have to play every snap as the Bears are set to bring in three players who could challenge for the backup role.
True freshmen Johnny Adams Jr. and Christopher Brown Jr. and Laney College transfer Marcel Dancy will join a group that included only Laird, Derrick Clark, Biaggio Ali Walsh and Alex Netherda during the spring.
A former walk-on, Laird rushed 191 times for 1,127 yards and eight touchdowns last season. The Bears' next leading rusher among returners is Clark, who had 14 carries for 46 yards.

Today Show Features JFK Experts
By W. Tracy Parnell
As part of their "Truth or Conspiracy" week, NBC's Today show ran a segment on August 9, 2001 that featured notables from the JFK research world.
The program dropped in on the assassination class of Dr. John McAdams at Marquette University. "When you look at the evidence with a real sober skeptical eye, you really don't find anything solid indicating anybody but Oswald was involved in killing Kennedy," McAdams, a Warren Commission supporter, stated. However, his students don't seem to feel the same way and a majority raised their hands when asked for conspiracy advocates.
Three of McAdams' students were asked to explain why they believe in conspiracy. Ashley Myers said, "So many people claim that they saw — or at least heard something coming from the grassy knoll." Katie Robbins stated, "I think that the single bullet theory was — is definitely leading to a conspiracy because when they found the bullet it was pristine." Adds Lenora Peper, "The killing of John F. Kennedy is just a huge thing to pull off. And I don't think it's a one-man job."
Gary Mack, the curator of the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas offered the following assessment, "The Warren Commission was unable to come up with a motive why he (Oswald) would want to kill President Kennedy. My personal studies of this subject over the last 25 years or so show me that there are three major questions. The three M's if you will. The medical evidence, mysterious events that happened, and the mystery man himself — Lee Harvey Oswald." There are enough holes out there in this story that people looking at it today, and looking at it 50 years from now will wonder, well what really happened," Mack concluded.
Appearing in the studio live with Katie Couric was Gerald Posner, author of Case Closed. While he supports the Warren Commission view of a lone gunman, Posner admits they made errors that led to uncertainty about their conclusions. When asked to comment on the latest Zogby poll that shows 68% of Americans believe in conspiracy Posner stated that he was surprised that it wasn't 90%. He explained that over 2000 books and a major motion picture have stated the conspiracy view in various forms while only a handful of books and articles support the Warren Commission. This is the reason that the American public believes so strongly in conspiracy according to Posner.
When evaluating the current state of the debate, Posner says it all comes down to what evidence you use when trying to prove or disprove conspiracy. Some critics believe that all or nearly all of the photographic evidence in the case has been faked while supporters of the lone gunman theory accept the same evidence. This leads Posner to believe that the controversy surrounding the death of JFK will never be resolved to the satisfaction of all who study it.

Juan Manuel Marquez explains his success

In his own words, Juan Manuel Marquez told Fighting Fit how he became so good
MY father was a professional boxer and he instilled that in my brother Rafael and I and I think it's just in our blood. Without a doubt, any time you start boxing you don't know what you're getting into, it's a very difficult time, but as you learn the craft I think you get better and it gets easier. I think at the beginning it's always very tough.
I could have been a professional two years before I turned pro at 19. But I had a back injury that delayed my professional career until I was almost 20. I was ready to turn pro and as soon as the back injury got resolved I started training for it.
My trainer Ignacio 'Nacho' Beristain started me as a professional. My father is the one that started me in boxing, then we met this guy named Rafael Rojas who used to be an assistant with Nacho and so we came into his gym and that's how our relationship started.
It's all about phases – sometimes he's my friend, sometimes he's my teacher. I think when you are part of a team those relationships have to be different at different times. I think we work well and we have created a really good team. He's very strong-minded, he makes us do what he wants us to do, and I think any boxer needs that kind of discipline, a guy that will push you, and he's pushed me all my career. I think that his biggest strength is as a guy you can't say no to. He's very strong-willed and there's an old saying that, 'If you run with the wolf you're going to howl just like them', and I think I'm with a big wolf and I'm howling just like he does.
With me and Pacquiao, I think it's just a question of style – the way I fight and the way he fights matches up very nicely and makes for a great fight. My style is perfect to give him problems. I just think it's worked, I think that's why our fights are so great and why I've made things so difficult for him.

The most important thing to me is intelligence. You have to be smart in the ring and keep focused on what you are doing and to me it's about being smart and using my skills.
(I was famously filmed on HBO 24/7 drinking my own urine. Years ago, one of my doctors told me, "This could help you if you do this" – drink your own urine – and I believed in it. I only did it while preparing for fights, in training, to help me with vitamins and give me strength.)

It's hard to believe Black Mass wasn't nominated for any Oscars this year, especially considering Johnny Depp's performance of Boston's notorious gangster "Whitey" Bulger was transforming. But nevertheless it's a film worthy of having on Blu-ray Disc, and Warner Bros.' combo edition also includes a DVD and Digital HD copy with UltraViolet.
The Blu-ray is formatted in 1080p at 2.4:1 widescreen aspect ratio with DTS HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack.
Black Mass on Blu-ray, DVD, and On Demand releases February 16, 2016. The Blu-ray combo carries a high MSRP of $44.99, but Amazon is taking pre-orders for $22.99 (49% off).
The film has already been released to digital SD & HD, as well as the new 4k UHD format from Vudu. The Digital HD costs $19.99, Digital SD $14.99, and 4k UHD $29.99 (Vudu).

Interleukin-21 (IL-21), a T- cell-derived cytokine, is a signaling molecule secreted by a subpopulation of T cells called follicular T helper (Tfh) cells. Studies have proved that IL-21 co-stimulates T cell proliferation by mediating enhanced T cell viability. This is done when IL-21 binds to its receptor, activating the phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI-3K) signaling pathway and inducing B-cell Lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) expression. Besides the B and T cells, IL-21 also regulates several Natural Killer (NK) cell functions. Due to its multi-faceted effects on different receptors, IL-21 has been used in multiple diseases. However, it was recently found that IL-21 had potent effect on various viruses including Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus (LCMV), influenza virus and Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV). The study proved that both B and CD4+ T cells need IL-21 signaling for generating long-term humoural immunity by generating long-lived plasma cells, thus, highlighting the importance of IL-21 in humoural immunity to viruses. These findings highlight how IL-21 could be important in the development of antiviral vaccines and vaccines for other potential life-threatening diseases leading scientists to design future vaccines to incorporate IL-21 directly or to use the ability to stimulate IL-21 as a gauge of vaccine activity. It is the need of the hour to go for larger studies which will be needed to better elucidate the cause and effect relationship and to demonstrate the effect size. It may possibly yield appreciable results in the future for untreatable diseases like HIV/AIDS.

China Backdated Bug Disclosures to Hide State Hacking: Report
Security researchers have claimed that the Chinese authorities are trying to disguise their efforts to research public vulnerabilities for use in state hacking.
Recorded Future has released several reports on the work of China's National Vulnerability Database (CNNVD), which it claims is "essentially a shell" for the powerful Ministry of State Security (MSS).
The CNNVD tends to publish vulnerabilities far quicker than the US equivalent, the National Vulnerability Database (NVD), taking just 13 days from the initial disclosure versus 27 days in the US. The CNNVD captures 90% of all flaws within 18 days, while the NVD takes 72 days because it relies on voluntary submissions from vendors, it concluded.
However, the researchers discovered that in some outlying cases, the NVD is much quicker to publish, sometimes twice as fast.
On further investigation, it claimed to have found an attempt by the Chinese authorities to backdate the original publication dates for these vulnerabilities, in a bid to obfuscate its offensive cyber-operations.
"We discovered that 267 of the 268 CNNVD original publication dates had been altered since November 2017 with an average backdate of 57 days. Each date was changed post-publication to approximate or beat NVD's publication date," the report noted.
"This systemic retroactive alteration of original publication dates by CNNVD is an attempt to hide the evidence of this process, obfuscate which vulnerabilities the MSS may be utilizing, and limit the methods researchers can use to anticipate Chinese APT behavior. There is no other logical explanation as to why only the initial publication dates for outlier CVEs would have been altered."
Recorded Future warned companies relying solely on the CNNVD, especially those within China or the Asia region, that they could be exposing themselves to unnecessary extra risk.
"This data manipulation reinforces the dominance of the secrecy mandate over transparency in China," it concluded. "Instead of taking steps to remove the undue influence of secrecy and the intelligence services over vulnerability reporting, CNNVD has gone the opposite way and sought instead to further conceal that influence."

Swapping ponies for pepperoni and gelders for garlic bread is a Doncaster firm which has opened a gourmet pizza takeaway - IN A HORSE BOX!
A head chef is hoping to forge a tasty future for himself by embracing his love of Italian cuisine to launch a new gourmet pizza business.
Thursday, 15 November, 2018, 09:32
Earlier this year, Doncaster-based Oliver Ellis decided to try and earn his own dough, after securing support from Launchpad, a unique business support programme that helped him to take his mobile pizza business on tour.
Morrisons launch 'The Builders Big Breakfast Butty' - and here's what's crammed in it
Today, Oliver travels throughout Yorkshire in a horsebox which he lovingly transformed into his own mobile pizza kitchen, complete with an oven which he uses to stone bake his dough.
Oliver's talent for creating delicious, stone baked pizzas has surprising origins. After studying languages at university and embracing student life and traditional student grub, his understanding of European cultures grew and his love for their variety of cuisines deepened. This love soon took a new direction, from languages to food, as Oliver's talents turned to the kitchen, and to Italian cooking.
After graduating, Oliver began perfecting his pizza making skills and embraced the busy life of a fast-paced kitchen.Â
Working long hours across different restaurants, developing menus and experiencing the marketing side of the catering industry, Oliver began dreaming of going it alone, and decided to embark upon a new project to put his skills to the test.
The converted horse box
Turning his chef's hands to a new craft, Oliver acquired a vintage horse box and set about painstakingly transforming it into a portable pizza oven, with the help of his family and friends. Oliver quickly incorporated the business and christened it '˜The Pizza Trail'.
For someone whose talent lies in languages and catering, the language of business was new to Oliver. Unsure how to commercialise his new ideas, he contacted the Sheffield City Region Launchpad programme, which provides entrepreneurs with practical support and advice during the all-important first two years of trading.
Through Oliver's participation in the programme he was able to get to grips with running his fledgling business, through attending workshops on bookkeeping and accounting, whilst his business advisor offered guidance to support him through the learning curve.
Since launching the Pizza Trail in August, Oliver has found no shortage of customers keen to try his tasty creations, securing bookings at charity events, weddings and private functions. After a busy start, the Pizza Trail looks set for some tasty months ahead.

Oliver Ellis, Founder of The Pizza Trail, said:Â 'I've always enjoyed working with dough and creating things from fresh ingredients, but I also wanted more control over my working hours and I felt self-employment would provide me with that flexibility.Â
'Launchpad were instrumental in helping me to get accustomed to the ins-and-outs of business ownership and their accounting support was especially helpful '" it enabled me to legally and legitimately manage all the money matters, which was one of my concerns before starting out!
'The support I've received from Caroline, my business advisor, has also been fantastic. I've always felt comfortable in asking her questions that must've seemed obvious to her. I feel like she's looked after me and that I can still go to her when I need help or advice.'
Caroline Bond, Business Advisor at Launchpad, said:Â 'Working with Oliver and supporting The Pizza Trail's journey has been a rewarding experience, as I have witnessed the journey from incorporation right up to his first big event last month.
'Oliver's dedication to creating food that uses authentic Italian ingredients, but fresh vegetables from local suppliers, is a heartening display of local businesses supporting one another's efforts. This is what we love to see at Launchpad, as the programme we deliver is committed to helping the economy of the region to thrive, through supporting the fantastic businesses within it.'
Launchpad is the Sheffield City Region Growth Hub's key business support programme for new business. Financially supported by the European Regional Development Fund and delivered by local authorities within the Sheffield City Region and the Prince's Trust, the programme provides free help and support to budding entrepreneurs in the City Region. Entrepreneurs who access Launchpad are those who are thinking of starting their own business, or have started trading within the last two years.

The world premiere of George Benjamin's opera Lessons in Love & Violence unleashed a true flood of 4 and 5 star reviews. Martin Crimp wrote the libretto, as he had done for Benjamin's earlier operas Into the Little Hill and Written on Skin. Crimp was the first librettist who managed to tap into Benjamin's compositional vein. On Monday, June 25, Lessons in Love & Violence will have its Dutch premiere at Dutch National Opera, Amsterdam. The composer will conduct the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra himself, Barbara Hannigan sings the female leading role.
Because of his sensual, colourful sound tapestries, George Benjamin (1960) is often called a kindred spirit of Claude Debussy. Although he had been dreaming of becoming an opera composer since his teenage years, it was not until 2006 that he presented his first, the one-act play Into the Little Hill. Martin Crimp's libretto was based on the saga of Hamelin's rat-catcher. Only two singers, a mezzo-soprano and a soprano, take on all the roles. This assignment of the Paris Festival d'Automne was an instant success. A cd recording conducted by the composer won a Diapason d'Or in 2017.
In 2012 the second collaboration between Crimp and Benjamin, Written on Skin, created a sensation during its premiere at the Festival d'Aix en Provence. In the ghastly libretto, a ruler forces his adulterous wife to eat the heart of her lover. Written on Skin is considered the undisputed masterpiece of twenty-first century opera. The Dutch audience and members of the press greeted the first performance in the Netherlands with similar enthusiasm. Certainly not a matter of course for contemporary opera.
For his third opera, Lessons in Love and Violence, George Benjamin once again collaborated with librettist Martin Crimp and director Katie Mitchell. Having based Written on Skin on a folk tale from the Provence, this time Crimp sought inspiration in his homeland. The once again gruesome story full of murder and slaughter is loosely based on the life of King Edward II.
Why did you wait so long to compose your first opera?
For years, a quarter of a century to be precise, I was looking in vain for a suitable librettist. I had a list of about fifty themes and spoke to many poets, playwrights, film and theatre directors. I asked them all for advice, but simply didn't find anyone who could tap into my creative vein. With one or two I took a minuscule step in the direction. We cautiously discussed possible projects, but that was all. Never, really never did we even come near a real cooperation.
At one point, some fifteen years ago I had given up. Not necessarily in despair, but it occurred to me that I would never find a way to write for the stage. Until a few years later I got to know Martin Crimp, who serves me better than I had ever dared to hope for. My fellow teacher Laurence Dreyfus subtly brought us together by organising a joint lunch. The moment I met Martin, I felt: this is someone I can work with!
What does Crimp have that other librettists don't?
First of all, it is a very delicate matter to work with someone, especially when it comes to something as intense as opera. You invest a large part of your creative personality in the other, you give him access to your world. That applies to both sides. Martin is the ideal partner for me, generous and sensitive.
Moreover, he is a wizard with words. I am a great admirer of the structures he builds and the powerful emotions he expresses in his plays. His use of language is so special, original and idiosyncratic that it stimulates my imagination enormously. Since I got to know him, my creativity has increased considerably. Including Lessons in Love and Violence, this has now yielded some 4.5 hours of music.
In 2012 you told me that Crimp lifted the text off the ground, as it were. How are we to understand this?
His lyrics are essentially very simple. They are about love, hatred, power, death – in short, the essential things of life and of human interaction. He uses few long words and the sentences themselves are often short, as well. That makes them ideally suited for singing. His language is completely understandable, but at the same time there is something peculiar about it. It's not the way people normally speak. Underneath the easily digestible surface lies something weird, something scary that I find attractive.
It's hard to say precisely what this is, but when you read three sentences from him you know they are his. The words of the characters are part of a passionate and spontaneous drama as well as of an architectural construction, almost like a crystal. This ambivalence between comprehensibility and artificiality invites me to write music. As if you were giving electricity to a lightbulb. If his texts were normal and predictable, how and why would I set them to music? Martin's words inevitably wring music from me.
Both Into the Little Hill and Written on Skin contain a lot of cruelty. What is the attraction of morbidity?
I fear that Lessons in Love and Violence is even more fierce, cruelty is part of our lives. This was already the case with the Greeks, who invented the theatre. I have always found opera considerably more moving than any other art form. More gripping than literature, painting or concert music. Opera – if it works – has an overwhelming emotional eloquence. You have to tap into that ability, both in the choice of subjects and in the way in which you shape the themes and stories.
When Martin and I started working together, he asked me to make a list of the reasons why people sing. I had to dig deep to think of all the possible circumstances that make people burst into song. Both in real life and on stage. You don't sing when everything is normal, but at moments of extreme happiness or total despair. The operas that are most dear to me – Kát'a Kabanová; Boris Godunov; Pelléas et Mélisande; Wozzeck – do not shy away from the deepest and most essential events in our lives.
That also includes horrible things. If – and I really mean if – you manage to create something coherent, to see something through to the bitter end, then even the most terrible story potentially brings great joy. Because you don't collapse under the load, but face it. It's much less satisfying to avoid something dark because you can't handle it. Paradoxically, the very opposite is a source of happiness.
What are the dark things in 'Lessons in Love and Violence'?
I won't give away too much, but it is loosely inspired by the life of the British King Edward II, his lover Gaveston and his wife Isabel. It takes place at about the same time as Written on Skin. Only this time we haven't tried to evoke a medieval atmosphere.
In 'Written on Skin', the characters are simply called 'the ruler', 'the boy', only the wife has a name. Does 'Lessons in Love and Violence' have the same approach?
That's something Martin does. It is not just a peculiarity, by the way, but also has real meaning. When the woman in Written on Skin sings: "My name is Agnès!", that is a turning point in the opera, she rebels against her husband. That would not have been possible if she had been called by her name from the outset. In Lessons in Love and Violence, about half of the characters are referred to by a generic description. After our talk, for example, I will rehearse with "the stranger".
You will work again with Katie Mitchell, who also directed 'Written on Skin'. What do you value in her?
She has a great deal of attention to detail and her work is very coherent. She has no vanity and can read and write with Martin, with whom she has been working for over twenty years. She gets to the heart of what she directs and is completely subservient to the text. Katie doesn't want to impose things that are foreign to the work, but brings it to life in a powerful and clear way. I find this absolutely admirable.
I also appreciate her receptivity, her sensitivity to music and her emotional response to it. You hear so often that a director mutilates a new opera because he or she decides to go in a different direction. Intent on realizing their own Creator's Dream, they distort the desires and dreams of the composer and librettist. That's terrible, when a pieces has taken 4 to 5 years to create. That's unthinkable with Katie. She's completely, passionately loyal to the ideas behind the work, and the nature of the work. I can't stress enough how happy I am with her.

Politics Carson Campaign Volunteer Dies After Car Accident in Iowa
Carson Campaign Volunteer Dies After Car Accident in Iowa
Wednesday, January 20, 2016 at 4:44 am | י' שבט תשע"ו
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -
A volunteer for Ben Carson's presidential campaign died Tuesday after being hospitalized with injuries suffered in a car accident in western Iowa that hurt three other campaign workers.
Carson was in South Carolina at the time of the Tuesday morning accident and suspended his campaign events.
An official for a hospital in Omaha, Nebraska, said the Carson campaign volunteer, 25-year-old Braden Joplin, died late Tuesday afternoon.
Campaign spokesman Jason Osborne said the crash occurred when a van carrying three Carson volunteers and a paid staffer flipped onto its side on an icy road and was hit by another vehicle. The others in the van were treated at a hospital in Atlantic, Iowa.
Carson posted a picture of himself and Joplin on social media Tuesday night, writing: "Rest In Peace Braden Joplin. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family."
In a statement released by his campaign, Carson wrote: "One of the precious few joys of campaigning is the privilege of meeting bright young men and women who are so enthusiastic about their country that they will freely give of their time and energy to work on its behalf. America lost one of those bright young men today."
Chris Cook, spokesman for Texas Tech University, said the death of Braden Joplin, who attended the university in Lubbock, was a great loss. "The loss of life, especially one of our own, is always tragic. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Braden during this difficult time."
Other presidential candidates from both parties, including Republicans Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, and Democrat Martin O'Malley, also offered their condolences.
And Democratic contender Bernie Sanders paid tribute at the beginning of a rally in Iowa City, Iowa. "I have a lot of respect for any young person who gets involved in the political process," Sanders said. "Our hearts go out to the family of the young man."

Papal Decree: Celebrate like it's 999.
For anyone who cares to read this: thanks. My next post is 1000. Yes it is cool, and it is worthy. But it is not pure. When I hit post 1071 that will be my actual 1000th post in the OTT. That is the post I'd like to celebrate.
Y'all don't have to remember this. I get 72 more posts to figure a present out (read: procrastinate). Eh, super secret papal decree (lower case, even): any suggestions for what you'd like to see? Could be anything, from OTTercomic to song recording to video to a mix of things I've done.
on April 2nd 999 AD – Gerbert of Aurillac becomes Pope Silvester II and succeeds Pope Gregory V as the 139th pope.
on November 18th azule of The land of the Golden Puppies and Rainbows becomes Pope as the 1620th pope of the OTT.

I wish it were 999.
Right now, I'm closer to 99.
If anyone has access to a time machine, please send modern weaponry. Picts are attacking, and the garrison is in danger of being overrun. There is a good chance that Scotland will have to be abandoned. I can't help but think a well placed flamethrower would turn the tide.
Still no idea why I am here, even though it has been the better par of two weeks.
P.S. why is the OTT moving so slow? I have never seen it move at less than a post a day before.
And why would we complain?

Any similarity between the word "Farther" and the Irish pronunciation of "Father" is purely coincidental and definitely not a pun!

In the current version is a new boost "Locksmith", it is seriously broken. For your sanity do not get it, I had to patch the program to shut it up once bought. It needs nerfing and not to generate 20+ notificatons per mnp.
is this one of the beanies we've already seen, growing his face out for movember, or a new, old beanie?

Oops I made it give ASHF even when you already have it.
This is well implemented. I know a beard could be drawn on a Beanie... Did someone identify the scene used? OR...??? Mystery...might as well be misery.
Baobabs, the needle-pulled thing is very freelancey at the momenx.

It's probably a new, or rather a composite, scene.
I identified the tree (in reverse), but the slope doesn't match.
Still, a nice reminder of the good old days. Randalspeed Gingercat!

HAH! That's brilliant, I hadn't seen that before.

Treeish, ED! And happy birthdip, StormAngel!
Same for me, this whole wipend at least. I haven't posted as much because it's so steambottlish to load the fora pages.
thread etymology question because i've forgotten: where did mip and dip and such come from?
ergman wrote: what caused the change?
dip, I believe, was "Day In Pixels," same for week, month, etc. As for why, well, probably the "teehee" associated. Not that this forums is afraid of crude jokes now and then.
This is a masterpiece, a glittering jewel hidden in the Past, noted in the Future, by the Present iteration of Schrödinger's Gingercat.
I've not gone Mad yet, I promise.
This is wowterful! I showed my friend and he was amazed, and thought the doll looked like me even without the hat. This has had me smiling off and on all day.
Zooman, good luck with the relocation! I hope you have your castleraft and maps all ready to go.
On Page 311, I have found my first Time Capsule! And it contains the magnificent word "granfoolery". This word brings to mind the concept of misbehaving old people, playing pranks on the younger generation who are blissfully unaware that "dear old grandma" is the cheekiest person present, hiding behind a façade of "I'm too old for such granfoolery"!
I see S's Gingercat is making progress. Glad xe found my signpost. I remember that post well. I expected people in the thread to be annoyed by being called clubby, posturing granfalloons, but instead everyone just commented on what a great word that was. That was when I knew the thread was something special.
I only just now noticed that the post I was quoting contained the word "granfalloonery," which I inadvertently shortened to granfoolery. And left out a word. FTFM.
This is the most beautiful representation of Pi that I have seen thus far. Who knew that Time Travelling could reveal such beauty?
I thought it was interesting xe quoted this image, and then the Othercomic was talking about pi. GOOOHR!
azule, I loved your Odetity! I would like to ride a raptorcat. I think.
I predict that mscha's prediction about something entering the right side of the frame will be correct.
And Dracomax keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping into the past. Maybe that's the time-traveling dragon Aluisio warned us about. ??
You should really get on with that. You really don't want to be encumbered by sanity while you are trying to blitz.

Uh huh. Your post says no, but your smiley says yes.
Thanks for passing my pastpoem forward!
Uh oh, I saw that in my ketchup but forgot about it. Maybe I should go back and help him out, as a test of my newfound abilities?
You probably wouldn't recognize me, as I look like any other Roman Soldier here, except when viewed through the imaging room OTT. I do not beleive I shall slip much further into the past. Unles my initial theories were incorrect, I can only travel within my own lifespan. at this period in time, I was quite young, and just setting out on my own.
The good news is that Emporer Hadrian is supposed to arrive within the monmth. If I remember events correctly, his assasination in Brittania leads directly to the first Roman genocide, and the eradication of the pictish tribes through fire and the sword. Until that point, the troubles of the empire were such that only a small portion of the empires might was focused on the outlying lands, but after his assasination, it was decided that it would be better to concedntrate forces and wipe them out forever as an example to all other nations of what happens when you assassinate an Emperor. This led to the germanic tribes uniting, and the first truly unified force to face Rome in Centuries. the bloodshed was unimaginable, and set back Human Civilization nearly 1000 years.
I beleive this event may be what I am here to solve. If I can save his life, and convince him to build a wall, I may be able to create a state of "cold warfare" wherein the violence is isolated, rather than all encompassing. While, due to the way that time is(i.e. you are in my future) I must assume you already know how things turned out, I shall endeavor to let you know the details when I am next able to communicate. On a side not, I worry that traveling through time may be effecting my memories. I look at previous efforts, and the history I relate does not correspond to what I recall. I do not know if this is an effect5 of history rewriting itself to my actions, or some unknown force. as I am alone, and seem to be unable to attain direct help, I must act as if my current memories of the Past are true, so long as I do not change History. It is the only way to avoid going mad.

Time is ever in flux - though we interact through this thread, we each inhabit our own dimensions and Timestreams. What you change may ripple out to nearby points on your causality mesh, and perhaps even shift points further away, but what we know as the past is fixed in our memories, regardless of the geometry of our current mesh of residence.
That being said, if you'd like some help with that, I can probably pinpoint your coordinates to within an error bar of a couple months - using months as a measure of linear, "planar", and "spatial" distance in the temporal mesh. Given your reputation at that Time, though, I'm not sure how they'd respond to another dragon appearing out of thin air.
Probably better not to. I seem to be being sent to particularly volatile points in space and time. The death of disco, the beginning of nboekend's passing out of safewty hats, the assasination of Emporer Hadrian. The introduction of yet more unstable element could have deletarious effects.
Also, too much chronal energy in one place might have the effect of causing a rupture in the 8th dimension, with disastrous results. Total protonic reversal. Unless we have to fight a God, I don't see it as a viable risk.
Thanks for the congrats, Minim!

Yeah, I remembered some sort of partial ID, but I did mean the scene. Are all the parts accounted for? I may find the scene(s) in my quest to build usable panoramas for my viewer, but there's so many scenes I'm not gonna search for it just to find it.
That would be me. It was originally xip, actually. It became dix when people wanted it to resemble "day" more closely. Mip and yip, et al, were to resemble xip (and to mirror their usage (ie month, year)) but then dip became part of the group so that the set was complete. It was rather organic, I suppose.
lmjb1964 wrote: azule, I loved your Odetity! I would like to ride a raptorcat. I think.
Glad you liked it! I'm rather fond of it, myself. It sorta makes me proud to be an OTTer. Heh.
As it should. Plus, you're right, ellem, I hadn't even notice that. Partly because the comic is also about tau (whatever that is).
Cute. Thanks. That made me smile.
dip also happens to be halfway between xip and dix. So it's like 1.5pi.
ETA: if it's not working, refresh until it does.
Not that it matters, but from my search it appears xip was first posted on May 7, dix on May 12, in one of ucim's Papal Stories. Unless I somehow missed an earlier occurance of dix. But anyways, no, I didn't base xip off of dix. I did base my faux proposals wix and mix, et al., off of it though.
Since I am Dutch "wip" gives me a chucle. It is one of the ways to say to "chirp."
As for the Beanies: an avalanche from the right will kill both Beanies dead. Thus ends this thread of the Beanies.
