Tom Suozzi's town hall, his first as the Congressman representing New York's 3rd District, was Standing Room Only, but he handled it with grace and aplomb, managing to organize what could have been an unruly outpouring of frustration, consternation, anger and anxiety into a productive discussion.
He presented the four key issues he believed most people wanted to discuss – Obamacare (Affordable Care Act), Trump-Putin ties and conflicts of interest, the travel ban, immigration and the environment – then held it up to a vote to ask if that met with approval. Then he picked four or five people to ask questions before moving on to the next topic.
Who wants to stay until 8:30? 9:15? 9:30? All night? 9:30 was the decision.
That's how it went throughout the night with a return to key points: this is what democracy looks like. Let's be realistic: I'm a junior Congressman from a minority party. And finally: it is up to you. Your voice. Your activism.
Most ingenious of all: he divided up his 3rd Congressional district into 16 neighborhoods – "The Third Will be Heard" – and tried to recruit people to join committees to stay active – write letters to local newspapers (the media with the most trust, he said), go door to door if necessary, engage in conversations with friends, family and others, instead of that old-saw of politics being a taboo subject.
Whenever someone introduced themselves as an expert – such as the scientist with Feinstein Institute who is a member of a newly formed Science Advocacy of Long Island (who have much to be concerned with as the Trump Administration destroys data on climate change and looks to shut down NASA's Climate monitoring activities) – he would recruit them onto the committee. The high school fellow too young to vote whose friends are completely apathetic? You're recruited. Get your friends engaged.
"Take that energy, that excitement and use it in a constructive forum to win the battle," he said.
With the debate swirling over whether Democrats should be as obstructionist as the Republicans were during Obama's presidency, Suozzi clearly appreciates that "politics is the art of the possible" (as Hillary Clinton said, much to the consternation of the Bernie Sanders ultra-left progressives who likely were among the 92 million voters who did not come out and vote, handing the reins of power and policy to the exact opposite of Obama/Clinton).
Indeed, Suozzi as Congressman is functioning exactly as he said he would during the campaign: as someone who prefers to find common ground in order to accomplish something.
He told the packed audience that filled the room to capacity that he is a member of a newly formed (can you imagine?) Problem Solvers Caucus, consisting of 20 Republicans and 20 Democrats. They are trying to find some consensus on issues such as infrastructure and tax reform (good luck with that).
Interestingly, when Suozzi asked for a show of hands of people who had never been politically engaged before, an estimates 40% of the room raised hands.
Some of the questions and comments were extremely moving: the woman whose husband is being treated, thanks to Obamacare, for cancer "he's on the verge of being cured, but if Obamacare is repealed, he would have a preexisting condition"; the son whose father has advanced Parkinsons, who lost his job and if Obamacare is repealed, faces the dilemma of providing quality of life for the father or the family.
A woman speaking haltingly because of her disability, fearful of proposals to cut Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security and instead to send money to states to use as a block grant, a fear echoed by parents and of siblings of disabled people, who declared "I'm tired of people characterizing us as lazy".
An immigrant man whose college-age son can't get an internship because of his status; the woman who migrated from India 28 years ago as a 15 year old, who described the "extreme vetting" then, which has only gotten more intense under Obama; and people who asked what can be done to alleviate the anxiety in their communities over sweeps.
Suozzi noted that as Glen Cove Mayor he fought against having local police become defacto ICE agents because of the importance of the community having trust in its government and law enforcement and the value of "community policing".
He also acknowledged when someone brought up something that he was not aware of – like the problem with a local pre-school that serves special needs children which has to negotiate individually for grants from state and county government, and has seen only a 2% increase in funding over the last six years.
Suozzi did not disguise the surprise at the turnout, noting that in his years as an elected official (Mayor, Nassau County Supervisor) well accustomed to holding town halls, he has never seen anything like this.
He asked what groups were represented: a number were newly formed in response to Trump's election including several Indivisible groups, who came with pre-printed signs "Agree", "Disagree" (an effective mechanism to communicate with the Congressman. Others included Reach Out America, Moveon.Org, Science Advocacy of Long Island, Long Island Together, Every Child Matters, Planned Parenthood of Nassau County, 10100, NY Civil Liberties Union, Human Rights Campaign, NOW of Nassau-Suffolk, Code Pink Long Island, Long Island OptOut, Huntington Democrats, among others.
One of reasons Democrats lost is because they didn't mobilize locally, he said, which is why he hopes to try to keep the energy going, and why he kept going back to the need for the people to get the change they want.
He was asked about the Stop Arming Terrorists Act that Tulsi Gabbard has proposed. "I have to research further," he said honestly, adding, "It's true the US funded Osama bin Ladin against the Russians, and Saddam Hussein, and funded the Syrian regime before, and we are still funding the Saudis who fund terror groups. We did it to have access to oil.
On the first topic, Obamacare, a man said he was walking proof of the problems, because his wife suffers from cancer, and over the past two years, one insurance company after another pulled out, until the hospital where his wife was being treated said they would not treat her because there was no carrier in the exchange. Now, his wife has a pre-existing condition.
Suozzi said, "There are problems with ACA. But we need to mend it, not end it." He said he supported single-payer (essentially Medicare for All), but that wasn't possible under Obama, who instead bent over backwards, even picking up on the right-wing Heritage Foundation's model that preserved for-profit health insurance companies as the intermediary for obtaining health care which had been put into place in Massachusetts under Governor Romney. Obama was unable to get a public option. But even after bending over backwards to accommodate Republicans, not a single one voted in favor of ACA, but instead, spent six years voting 60 times to repeal it, even forcing a government shut down.
People raised concern about the proposal to tax people differently for health care based on age, not income, a scheme to cut $216 billion in spending ; of capping how much employers give to employees for health insurance which then would be taxed as income.
Turning next to the Trump-Putin and conflicts of interest topic, Suozzi said he would support a bill to require Trump to release his taxes, and would support an independent (not just bipartisan) commission to investigate his ties to Russia and possible collusion of his campaign with Russian agents to swing the election.
A man noted that none of the 7 countries under Trump's ban has had anything to do with terrorism in the US since 1975 (on the other hand, terrorist acts were committed by people from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia and none of these were included in the ban), using the premise of public safety. But 34,000 people are killed each year by gun violence.
"Guns kill, not refugees," a woman said.
This raised the issue of campaign finance reform and gerrymandering and voter suppression. Suozzi confessed his inability to significantly change any of that, but that it is up to the people to get people out to vote, which is another compelling reason for his neighborhood-based activism. He said his office would be engaged in voter registration campaign.
Instead, Nassau County will see $6.5 million cut in bus service.
In each case, Suozzi went back to his go-to – that people need to stay active and engaged, to join his neighborhood teams in order to spread the word.
A woman noted that many in the audience "are new to politics, to this forum" and might be helped to have more realistic expectations of what Suozzi and the Democratic party, being essentially powerless in the House, can achieve.
Though the issue of the alarming increase in anti-Semitic incidents across the country since Trump's election was not specifically raised in this Long Island community with a significant Jewish population, Suozzi acknowledged at one point that the town hall was being held in a Jewish Community Center in Plainview, and JCCs have received over 50 bomb threats in recent weeks.
Suozzi periodically would stop and poll the audience again to get their sense of whether to move on to the next topic. It was remarkable to see how he could actually offer a wide opportunity for people to air grievances, questions, comments in such a large and energized group and have something constructive come out of it: namely, a better understanding of issues and concerns, and also to gauge where constituents are on these key issues.
It wasn't even close: the 3rd Congressional district wants to retain and improve Obamacare, overturn the travel ban but okay to vet, end the terror and insecurity in immigrant communities and provide a path to some kind of legal status, protect the environment, protect the integrity of the election from foreign influence while protecting the ability of people to cast their ballot.
Suozzi's town hall was very different from what many Republican Congressmen are experiencing around the country – Long Island's Peter King didn't even hold one during this President's Week when traditionally Congress members return to their districts to hear from constituents. Trump and his sycophants have accused those coming out in force to protest the repeal of Obamacare as "paid liberal activists" or, as Trump told CPAC, "the losing side" (neglecting to mention there were 65 million voters, three million more than his side).
"As a member of Congress, I believed that listening to my constituents was the most basic and core tenet of the job I was hired to do. So I was a little surprised yesterday to hear Congressman Louie Gohmert invoke my shooting as a reason not to face his constituents at a public town hall.
"I was shot on a Saturday morning. By Monday morning my offices were open to the public. Ron Barber – at my side that Saturday, who was shot multiple times, then elected to Congress in my stead – held town halls. It's what the people deserve in a representative.
"So to Congressman Gohmert and others who are abandoning their civic obligations, I say this: Have a little courage. Face your constituents. Hold town halls.
"Many of the members of Congress who are refusing to hold town halls and listen to their constituents' concerns are the very same politicians that have opposed commonsense gun violence prevention policies and have allowed the Washington gun lobby to threaten the safety of law enforcement and everyday citizens in our schools, businesses, places of worship, airports, and movie theaters.

WATCH: Christina Anstead Opens About 'Past Traumas' and Plans for 2021 in Personal New Series
Christina Anstead's new show isn't so much about design as it is wellness — and that includes managing some of her more complicated relationships.
In a PEOPLE-exclusive clip from her new series Christina: Stronger by Design, airing on the newly launched Discovery+ streaming service, the 37-year-old HGTV star discusses how she and her ex-husband and current Flip or Flop co-star Tarek El Moussa successfully co-parent their two children and how she's finding peace after a tumultuous year.
Christina, who shares 5-year-old Brayden and 10-year-old Taylor with Tarek, 39, says that she and her children "recently did a project where we wrote out all the things we want to leave behind in 2020 and what we want to bring into 2021."
"One of my things I plan to leave behind is living my life based on others' opinions, and something I plan to bring into 2021 is new adventures," she shares.
Speaking of 2020, Christina says she has "taken this year to really dive deep into releasing past traumas and getting to know me again and what makes me happy."
Never miss a story — sign up for PEOPLE's free daily newsletter to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from juicy celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.
The show is "about exploring all the things I'm doing to enrich my mind, body and soul," says Christina, who also shares 15-month-old son Hudson with her second husband, Ant Anstead, from whom she separated in September. "You'll see me visit my acupuncturist, explore different forms of naturopathy, do yoga and strategize about the next stages of my wellness journey."
"I also invite you into my home to see how I get my day started each morning, and talk about plans for the future with Cassie [Zebish] and Shannon [Houston]," she adds of her two friends who make regular appearances.
Christina enjoys "sharing a behind-the-scenes look at my life — this is why I do so in Christina on the Coast," she tells PEOPLE. "This show goes even deeper into my 2021 plans and things I'm currently doing to stay happy and at peace."
Christina Anstead Says She Is "Closing Out This Year with Gratitude" Following Ant Anstead Split
The four themed episodes deal with life, friends and family (episode 1); beauty (episode 2); health and wellness (episode 3); and home design (episode 4).
"Simple design choices can give your home a totally fresh appeal," Christina tells PEOPLE of her own recent home refresh. "I replaced a motorcycle in my living room with a cool boho bar area, freshened up my bedding and added some new artwork. I love my home, and I love that it feels like my space."
Christina tells PEOPLE that it was important to her to have her two best pals, Houston and Zebish, along for the show because she's relied deeply on their relationship this year.
"I have a few very close friends who I trust and can confide in," she says. "Close friendships are so important to me, and despite all the chaos of this year, my friendships have stayed consistent."
She adds. "I have been working with my holistic doctor, Dr. Kaisa Coppola, and my spiritual coach, Rachel Jensen, to really work on getting healthy and grounding myself. Through deep meditations, grief alters and balancing my body with supplements, I actually feel like me again and like I'm fully present in each moment. It's the best feeling."
Christina: Stronger by Design is streaming now on Discovery+.

Raymond Schwartz (* 8. April 1894 in Metz; † 14. Mai 1973) war ein französischer Esperantoschriftsteller und Bankdirektor.

Leben

Schwartz lernte schon vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg Esperanto und gründete 1913 einen Esperantoklub in seiner Geburtsstadt. 1920 gründete er das Esperantokabarett La Verda Kato, das er bis 1926 führte. 1949 war er Mitbegründer der Tri Koboldoj, die bis 1956 existierten.

Schon 1912 veröffentlichte Schwartz Gedichte in Tutmonda Espero. In der Zwischenkriegszeit veröffentlichte er in verschiedenen Zeitschriften, vor allem in Literatura Mondo, und schrieb zwei Gedichtbände. Von 1933 bis 1935 gab er die Satirezeitschrift La Pirato heraus.

Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg veröffentlichte er seinen großen Roman Kiel Akvo de l' Rivero, in dem er teilweise autobiographisch das Leben eines jungen Franzosen aus dem deutsch-französischen Grenzgebiet darstellt, der nach seinem Schulabschluss für einige Zeit nach Berlin kommt, bei Kriegsausbruch 1914 aus Berlin fliehen muss. Durch die Besetzung Frankreichs im Zweiten Weltkrieg gerät er in die Résistance, überlebt den Krieg und begegnet in Paris schließlich einer Berliner Jugendliebe.

Schwartz galt in der Zwischenkriegszeit als das enfant terrible der Esperantisten, weil er alle Auswüchse esperantistischer Schwärmerei aufs Korn nahm und für seine Satiren verwandte. Dabei war seine Darstellung nie verletzend, so dass schließlich auch die etwas zu 'grünen' samideanoj über sich selbst lachen konnten. "Ein Volk, das sich nicht traut, sich über sich selbst lustig zu machen, ist noch nicht reif" war einer seiner Lieblingssprüche. Seit dieser Zeit hat Schwartz den Ruf des großen Humoristen, der ein wenig den Blick verstellt auf seine ernsten Seiten, die in der Novellensammlung Vole… Novele und vor allem in seinem Roman Kiel Akvo de l' Rivero zu finden sind. Aber auch hier blitzt sein Schalk immer wieder in absurden Nebenfiguren auf.

Sein Gespür für Wort- und Lautspiele im Esperanto und sein Talent, mit ihnen auf intelligente und lustige, aber niemals verletzende Weise manch seltsame Umtriebe in der Esperantobewegung auf seine Feder zu spießen, gilt bis heute als einzigartig.

"One idiot, 3,800 miles, & an electric motorcycle with a 42-mile range. What could possibly go wrong?", Nathan Abbott wrote on his blog just before he started his cross country adventure on wheels across the US. Just before Rob and myself embarked on our Kumara Parvatha trek I also thought on similar lines "Two idiots, 26 kilometers on foot over an altitude of 1700 meters in two days. What could possibly go wrong?". Nathan met with an accident - no fault of his own - and we made few blunders out of our own stupidity! Emboldened by the Himalayan experience we considered this trek a walk in the park, even after reading in numerous blogs that KP is one of the most difficult treks in Karnataka. Nature has its own way of humbling bloated egos and we got a good taste of it.
Kumara Parvatha(1,712m) is the tallest peak in the Pushpagiri ranges of the Western Ghats. You can climb KP either from Somwarpet or Subramanya. The Subramanya route is longer and is about 13 kilometers from Kukke Subramanya temple, the starting point of the trek. We decided to take the longer route and started from Bangalore on Friday night by Mangalore Express. The first mistake we did was not to book the tickets for our onward journey, and finally ended up sharing the space next to the toilet with a few other people. Imagine two 6 foot, 80 kilo guys squeezed into a four feet wide passage. Eager to get some sleep, we took out some plastic sheets, spread them on the floor and tried not to get disturbed by those who passed over us on their way to the loo. The stink was an issue for some time, but then if you have to sleep, you have to sleep. We reached Subramanya by 6 in the morning and took a shared jeep from the station to Kukke Subramanya for Rs. 20 per head. This temple is dedicated to the snake god; courtesy King Cobras, which are abundant in the dense forests in this part of the Western Ghats.
After performing our morning chores at the KSRTC bus station, we had a quick breakfast, packed some lunch and started our trek by 8:30. A right turn from the temple street, half a kilometer of tarred road, and you reach the deviation to Kumara Parvatha. The first four kilometers is through dense forest and in-spite of the canopy we were sweating profusely in no time. Then we realized another stupid thing we did - we just had two liters of water and the next water source was six kilometers ahead! Adding to the misery, we soon spotted leeches, a lot of them marching towards us from all directions. We took out the tobacco and stuffed our shoes with generous quantities, only to realize later that we are not the only organisms with brains. The leeches simply stopped getting inside the shoes and instead started attacking other parts of the leg. Both of us got a couple of leech bites in the next few hours. Rob even got one behind his knees, which he realized only after seeing the blood, and you can imagine how stealthily and efficiently these guys operate. Fortunately we did not run into their bigger cousins, the Cobras.
We took an hour long break around 12:30 for lunch and a quick nap. Our first destination was Bhattar Mane, the house and orchard of Narayan Bhat, halfway through the climb. The Bhat family provides food and shelter for trekkers at a nominal price. Narayan Bhat migrated to this place from Kasargod about 37 years back, and speaks Kannada, Malayalam and English. He grows Arecanut, Plantain, Lemons and a variety of vegetables. We met another group of three trekkers at Bhat's house. We refilled our water bottles, paid the camping fees -Rs. 115 per head- at the Forest Dept. office near Bhat's house, and resumed our journey. It took about five hours for us to reach Bhatare mane and had another 6 kilometers ahead of us to the peak. Soon we were treated with breathtaking views of the Pushpagiri range of mountains. While climbing from Subramanya side you have to cross two mountains -Battadarashi and Seshaparvatha- before reaching Kumara Parvatha. There is a stone 'Mantapa' near Battadarashi, and there is a stream before that which is a source for drinking water.
We took a short break at the mantapa and decided to try our luck climbing the rest of the peak before night fall. But later we decided to pitch our tent near a small hillock between Battadarashi and Seshaparvatha. It was getting cold, dark and windy already and we had a great view from our tent. It was great sitting under the starry sky and have bacon, ham and bread for dinner! We had some serious discussions on where to keep the leftover food; just in case some animals sniff out the meat and decide instead to feast on some fresh meat that is us. Soon we crept inside the comfort of sleeping bags inside the tent and decided to catch up on sleep. There was no perfect plain land to pitch the tent and we were literally sleeping along a slope. Soon heavy winds started blowing and it was the weight of us inside the tent that prevented it from being flown off the hill. A couple of times during the night I woke up as Rob shouted 'who's out there'. The tent flaps fluttering in the wind made us think that someone/something is walking outside.
We woke up by 5 in the morning and the moon was still out, lighting up the beautiful landscape all around. I don't know how to put in words the feeling you get when you see clouds floating around your doorstep, shining bright in the moonlight. We climbed up Battadarashi peak at 5:20 in the morning and stood there watching the sun slowly coming out of its slumber. It is an awesome sight to watch the sky changing colors, from grey to red to orange to a fine blue. The group we met at Bhat's place had camped just across the hillock and we had a chat with our 'neighbors' who joined us on the peak. After a quick breakfast we rolled up the tent and resumed our journey. As you cross Battadarashi, the first peak, Seshaparvatha will look like the tallest peak, only to realise as you reach the top that both KP and Sidhaparvatha are taller than it. Sidhaparvatha is a rocky cliff you find between KP and Seshaparvatha and looks inaccessible. Seshaparvatha offers some great views in all directions. The path we walked looked like a huge snake, crawling around all the hills and valleys.
KP is another 45 minutes from Seshaparvatha. We walked through some beautiful shola forests for about 20 minutes till we reached a stream. From there we followed the stream to a waterfall, which fortunately had very little water at this time of the year. You must be thinking what is the fun in having a waterfall without any water. I said fortunate because we had to climb up this waterfall, which cascades down a rock at an 80 degree elevation! I am sure it would be great fun to climb this rock against the gushing water during the monsoons; another reason to visit KP again. The peak is about half a kilometer from this steep rock and is wide enough to accommodate a few hundred people. There is a small temple on the peak, made out of stacked stones. We had a good time wandering around the place and having the last pieces of bread we had with us. It was sad to see the peak littered with plastic bottles, beer cans and other junk. We expect a certain level of commonsense and decency from the kind of people who go trekking out of the love of nature; but there will always be some a**hole who screws up. Our plan was to reach Bhattar mane for lunch and hence started our descend carrying a bag full of water bottles and other junk from the peak.
Climbing down was not a joke, in fact it was more strenuous than the ascent. If you need a good pair of lungs to manage the climb, you need an extraordinary pair of legs to take the pounding and get down in one piece. By the time we reached Bhattar mane, we could not even feel parts of our legs. The plain rice, sambar and pickle at Bhat's house was ambrosia for our hungry stomachs. After a couple of servings of rice and some much needed rest, we started for Subramanya. It took us about two hours to cover the 6 kilometers and we checked into a hotel as soon as we reached the town. Rob had to travel to Puthur the next morning and hence decided to stay back at Subramanya that night. I took a shower and got into the 9:15 bus to Bangalore. Though it was a bumpy ride, I slept like a baby, much to the surprise of my co-passengers, who shouted at the driver every 5 minutes as he maneuvered the vehicle from one pothole to the other.
I reached Bangalore by 5 in the morning and was under the blankets by 6, for a couple more hours of sleep. The pain in the legs might go away in a day or two, but the memories will remain for a long time to come; at least till my next visit to KP.
Is that you in the picture or Rob on top of the world and reaching up to the heavens? Pure joy!
And its Rob in that picture. Nobody gets too much heaven no more and this is the closest we could get !

Hackathon Success
Look behind the curtain at the tech powering Mixer's HypeZone
From Microsoft Garage project to Hackathon 2017 Grand Prize Winner, the tech behind Mixer's HypeZone has had an interesting journey.
Dan Thorp-Lancaster
When a small Microsoft Garage team began working on "Lookout, an AI-powered tool for monitoring live video streams, they had no idea it would eventually end up as an important part of Microsoft's Mixer streaming service. But, after winning the 2017 Microsoft Hackathon, the tool, now known as "Watch For," became the backbone of Mixer's HypeZone.
In a new post on the Microsoft Garage blog, the company takes a look behind the curtain of HypeZone, offering details on Watch For's humble journey from Garage project to game-streaming success.
At its inception, Watch For was designed by a Microsoft researchers Matthai Philipose, Lenin Sivalingam, Yifan Wu, Peter Bodik, and Victor Bahl. With a background in working on video analytics for the enterprise sector, the team began work on Watch For as a way to translate their experience to apply AI to a consumer setting. Over time, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella took notice of the team, and their project eventually won Microsoft's annual Hackathon in 2017.
From there, the Mixer team was intrigued by Watch For and reached out for a potential collaboration. The goal was to use Watch For's AI smarts to hone in on the most exciting moments from new battle-royale style games like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) and Fortnite, which were surging in popularity. This gave birth to HypeZone.
Lenin says:
Matt already had the idea of HypeZone itself, to switch from stream to stream within a channel – but the experience of HypeZone evolved very quickly during our collaboration. We met with Matt and Chad early September. Two weeks later we had a prototype that we showed them. Then we kept improving its accuracy. By mid-October we had another prototype that they could use to run their HypeZone experience. We tested it for another 3 weeks. Then, 2 days before release, PUBG changed their UI. 1 day before release, we had to completely change all our models.
HypeZone is driven by Watch For's large-scale video analysis of every stream that's coming into Mixer. Every stream we try to understand what's on the screen. We look for various metadata that tell us the game is exciting. Text on the screen, icons that tell you state of the game, player stats and score. Over time we have evolved to understand more and more.
Today, Mixer's HypeZone has expanded to offer 24/7 channels that deliver down-to-the-wire action from PUBG, Fortnite, and Rainbow Six Siege.

The 10 Best Boards of Canada Tracks, according to Lone
"Outlandish and gorgeous. Wicker Man as fuck. Maybe the quintessential BOC track..."
Known for his eclectic musical style, spanning everything from hip hop and jungle to swung house and breakbeat, Matt Cutler (aka Lone) is continually on the hunt for new influences.
Marking his first album in five years, the Nottingham DJ and producer is on the cusp of dropping his eighth LP, 'Always Inside Your Head'. It signifies a bold new chapter for an artist who has been honing his craft for over a decade, not only debuting a new label but also featuring vocalists for the first time. Despite existing somewhere between trip hop on Mo' Wax, 90s Warp, intelligent drum & bass and ambient house, Cutler says his main two influences for the record are Cocteau Twins and My Bloody Valentine – something which goes a long way towards showing the extent of his musical intelligence and unbridled creativity when it comes to toasting a new sound.
We sat down with Lone to discuss another huge influence on his career and a group he considers to be the best band in the world – Boards of Canada. From listening to the pioneering Scottish duo on the radio while doing his school homework, to emulating their desire to carve out new frontiers of electronic music later on in his life, Cutler's adulation for the two-piece runs deep. Digging back through the archives to identify ten of his favourite Boards of Canada tracks, Lone explains why he thinks the group is second to none.
1. 'Bocuma' (BOC Maxima CD / Music Has The Right To Children LP, Music70 / Warp / Skam, 1996 / 1998)
"This felt like a good place to kick things off. Like the official jingle for 'BOC industries' (or something..) An awesome little display of their unique ear for melody and synth playing."
2. 'Satellite Anthem Icarus' (The Campfire Headphase LP, Warp, 2005)
"For me this might be their finest use of guitars. I can remember hearing this for the first time and thinking how natural the use of acoustic guitars sat with their music. The most sun-bleached and gorgeous track on 'The Campfire Headphase' for me and one of the most intricately produced tracks in their catalogue. Endless layers of beautiful noise that look exactly like all those warped textures of the album artwork in my brain."
3. 'Orange Romeda' (Various Artists – WAP100: We Are Reasonable People Compilation, Warp, 1998)
"Only the best band on Earth would casually drop a tune this good for a compilation… a great example of their knack for a bittersweet melody. There's something tragic yet playful about it. It's interesting to think that this came out the same year as 'Music Has The Right To Children' – perhaps a glimpse into what the (I'm guessing) many unreleased tracks left over from the album might sound like."
4. 'In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country' (In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country EP, Warp, 2000)
"For me, this might be BOC at their all time creepiest. 'Come out and live with a religious community in a beautiful place out in the country' – the references to the Branch Davidians which would be further explored on 'Geogaddi'… it also kind of feels like dark humour from the bros – by this point the band were beginning to be worshipped as a cult themselves. A hauntingly beautiful tune anyway and the title track from what I consider to be the most flawless EP ever recorded."
5. 'Nothing Is Real' (Tomorrow's Harvest LP, Warp, 2013)
"From their last album 'Tomorrow's Harvest' – the Sandison's at their most nihilistic. This tune stands out as the emotional peak of the album for me. A kind of embracing of collapse – nothing is real – and that's OK! The gnarly piano loop which is offset by the subtle changes in the bass notes is pure BOC magic. Masters of subtlety exercising how it's not only what you put into a track but what you leave out…"
6. 'Aquarius' (Music Has The Right To Children LP, Skam / Warp, 1998)
"God bless John Peel. I used to sit in my room every night procrastinating over my homework listening to his radio show and can clearly remember around the time MHTRTC dropped, for a few weeks, he'd play 'Aquarius' pretty much every night. I'd never heard of BOC at this point but loved this weird tune with the counting and (what I thought sounded a bit like) chords from one of the tunes on the Flash Gordon soundtrack…..?! Anyway, every time he played the tune, I missed who it was by. Cut to a few weeks later and I copped the MHTRTC album on CD with my pocket money (strictly based on the amazing cover and the fact I'd heard of 'Warp'). Imagine my amazement when 'Aquarius' came on… the glorious, blunted standout track from the greatest debut album of all time. I probably listened to this album every day after that for a good ten years straight. Fan for life."
7. 'Kid For Today' (In A Beautiful Place Out In The country EP, Warp, 2000)
"A similar energy to that 'Nothing Is Real' tune, in that, it's all about the subtelty here. Melodies come in once and are gone just as quickly as they appeared leaving you wanting more – and – wondering if you actually even heard them at all. As autumn sets in I'll be listening to this one a lot. The whole EP actually. Perfect music for this time of year."
8. 'Broken Drum' (Remix For Beck, Guerolito LP, Interscope, 2005)
"BOC have a body of remix work pretty much as incredible as their own releases so I definitely wanted to include at least one. This is probably my favourite remix of anything, ever. So lush and detailed, full of live instrumentation and layered with guitar, bass and piano melodies in reverse. I actually played it backwards for the first time quite recently and it really revealed itself to be something even more mind blowing than I first thought, and what I imagine must've been a colossal pain in the arse to put together. Who else do you know who will learn a bunch of melodies in reverse order only to then reverse THEM and have it as the basis of a song… and for a remix! it's just incredible dedication to their craft and so inspiring. Beck must've lost his mind when he put it on for the first time."
9. 'Everything You Do Is A Balloon' (Hi Scores EP, Skam, 1996)
"From their first proper widely available release 'Hi Scores' I'm going with the closing tune 'Everything You Do Is A Balloon'. A big fan favourite from what I can work out and rightly so. I sometimes struggle to listen all the way through without welling up to be honest. Those pads keep building and rising and the lead melodies communicate more than any vocal ever could. One of their strongest ever tracks and a real sign of what the bros were REALLY capable of."
10. 'Julie And Candy' (Geogaddi LP, Warp, 2002)
"And by 'Julie And Candy' i mean 'Geogaddi'. The whole album. That's my number one. How can you possibly extract a single piece of music from such a cohesive masterpiece? It's like cutting up your favourite movie… it needs to be experienced as a whole. Having said that, if I had to pick out one song from that album that best summed it up and summed up the feel of the band overall (for, let's say, a top 10 list for Dummy mag) I'd go for 'Julie And Candy'. A song that sounds like it's been buried under the sand and covered in pine cones on a Scottish beach… something quite terrifying is happening in the woods nearby. A harp that is playing itself in the wind… backwards. Outlandish and gorgeous. Wicker Man as fuck. Maybe the quintessential BOC track and a strong standout from what I consider to be the best album ever recorded."
Lone's new album 'Always Inside Your Head' drops October 29 and is available for pre-order here.

HISCOX FILMMAKER Q&A: Pecado Original (Original Sin)
10/11/2018 AFF Blog, Guest Blog, Hiscox Filmmaker Blog, Q&A
Blog by Writer/director: Jean Lee
What inspired you come up with the idea for the film?
Maia and I collected stories from our mothers, sisters, friends, and our own lives that served as inspiration for Original Sin (Pecado Original). We were drawn to absurdist comedy, inspired by the telenovelas that the women in our lives so deeply adore and use to escape from the demands of daily life.
Also – our budgetary restrictions were tough but inspirational! We wrote with our financial limitations in mind, keeping the story to one location and three characters. We watched films that take place predominantly in one location, and/or films that are dialogue driven, with just a few characters. Our biggest inspirations were Knife in the Water, Dogtooth, Almodovar films, and the Before series (yay Richard Linklater!).
Why did you want to tell this story?
Mainly – to create dialogue and to entertain. More specifically – we wanted to explore female empowerment and sexual politics in a farcical manner. In doing so, we wanted to raise questions about societal expectations for women today, especially in Latin culture.
Second, as a woman of faith living in a time rife with political and social turmoil, I turn to my beliefs for clarity. But I often need to pause and say – "Wait. Is this truthful? Or am I influenced by a misinterpretation of the Bible, or a flawed traditional value resulting from the institutionalization of religion?" I'm fascinated by these questions. In the film, Eva begins a small revolution – albeit a comically flawed one – but in her pursuit of truth, she finally challenges the status quo and confronts the brokenness in some of her relationships.
How do you relate to your characters or subjects?
Maia and I, as women in the industry, and as women from generally conservative cultures have a shared love for challenging societal expectations of women, just like Eva, who throughout the film decides to vocalize and confront her own desires.
But of course, as a writer/director, I love and deeply relate to each of the main characters and hope that everyone in the audience will be able to relate to them in their own way.
What aspect of the story changed the most during writing and production?
We shot the film in order to allow certain scenes to be improvised based on specific given circumstances. Thus, on certain evenings, new scenes were written for the next day's shoot depending on what had been discovered that day on set. Fortunately, we had an amazing cast and crew who knew about this approach from the beginning, and everyone was flexible and committed to this approach.
What was the most courageous decision you or your crew made during production?
I thought that Maia, César, and Ale (Eva, Adrian, and Luis) were very courageous, as actors often must be, by nature of having to emotionally (or physically) expose themselves in order to achieve truthful performances. This demand for vulnerability can sometimes be scarier in comedies, as humor is often grounded in pain. Both in rehearsal and during production, Maia, César and Ale were challenging their own limits, remaining open, and willing to explore uncharted territory, even if it made them uncomfortable. I think their courage is reflected in the film, and I'm really proud of them and their work.
Were there any risks that you faced during production and how did you find a way to embrace them?
Due to our limited budget, we asked the cast and crew to sleep in the house we were shooting in. If you really think about it, it sounds like a recipe for disaster. Instead, we ended up having the best time! I found a deal online for animal-onesies and ordered one for every member of the cast and crew. So at nights, we'd sit around the dinner table enjoying a home-cooked meal – giraffe, owl, penguin, cow…animals of all kinds, eating together like one big zoo!
What influenced the visual style of the film?
On one hand, our visual style was influenced by the location. We spent a significant portion of pre-production finding the perfect house with a lot of the set design already in place.
After that, I worked with our talented DP, Jaime Coco Villa, to embrace the stiltedness of Eva and Adrian's marriage, and the awkwardness of containment through frame composition. As the film progresses, the shots become more free-form, and the rigidness dissolves. I also collaborated with our amazing colorist, Robert Gaza, so that the film begins with muted, cold tones, but ends with a more saturated, vibrant palette.
What risks did you take to tell your story?
We raise some controversial questions throughout the film regarding gender roles and sexual politics. Of course, the film is meant to create dialogue, so we hope each viewer will have their own take on the topics presented, and engage in some lively conversations!
How would you encourage others to tell their story or manage through the process of screenwriting or film producing?
Be knowledgeable of the industry, but at the end of the day, tell stories that come from the heart!
Half the battle is getting it on the page. The other half is having a strong community that will help you make it, and make it better than you had ever imagined!
Grab your badge or film pass today to see this film and many more at this year's Austin Film Festival!

Hotels are really stepping up their game in the "dining & cocktail" categories. We thought we would share with you some of the most recent openings, and interesting updates in the hotel dining and lounge scene here in Irvine. One observation we have established right off the top is that hotel cuisine and craft cocktails are taking creativity to a whole new level. No longer is the hotel dining room or bar just a convenient place to stop off on the way back to one's guestroom. It has become a sought after destination for locals, visitors and business groups alike. So let's explore some of these venues that are making news and garnering repeat patronage left and right.
Stepping into this hotel lobby guests know instantly THIS is different. The lobby is dramatic with high ceilings, sleek, modern décor with an orange, yellow and cream color palate. There are low-profile, contemporary conversation seating areas sprinkled throughout. Here at Hotel Irvine there are four distinct areas to enjoy both dining and cocktails. This includes: EATS Kitchen & Bar restaurant, its lovely palm-shaded patio with a fire pit and comfy Adirondack-style chairs, Red Bar and Lounge and The Backyard, featuring a gigantic grass lawn for special movie nights and special events.
EATS Kitchen & Bar recently welcomed a new Executive Chef Jeff Moore who defines his cuisine as "modern California" cooking and is committed to a California farm-to-table kitchen. The décor here is bright and airy with accordion glass doors that open out to the lovely patio. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, they are well-known for their tasty burgers and shared plates. On Saturdays and Sundays they have an over-the-top brunch with an epic "build your own" Blood Mary bar, Taco Tuesday, One Buck Shuck Oysters on Wednesday evenings, Wine & Beer Dinners, nightly Happy Hour from 5 to 7 p.m. and other events as well.
When the weather is right, The Patio at EATS Kitchen & Bar is the perfect spot to cozy up to the fire and roast some s'mores, or enjoy a glass of wine or beer. The backdrop of lush greenery and a canopy of palms provide that quintessential SoCal vibe.
Red Bar and Lounge continues the modern look with great circular booths and nests of seating that are perfect for a power-meeting or networking get-together. There is a lanky-long bar with flat screens and bartenders that enjoy showcasing their talents making showy, crafty cocktails. Happy Hour is nightly from 3 to 7 p.m. with lots of choices at half price. A massive nine-panel multi-screen TV is also in the lounge for game-cheering events. Beginning at 9 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings guests enjoy a rotating list of stellar DJs who rock it at Red Bar and Lounge.
I have attended many outdoor events in The Backyard---from Movie Nights to BBQ's and Wine Tasting festivals. As the name implies, this is an outdoor space and I cannot think of another venue quite like this in a hotel in Orange County. There is a patio, an 8,000 sq. ft. lawn area with suspended lights above, a 6,000 sq. ft. Pavilion and a Cabana. Events are held here throughout the year and many encourage locals to join in---especially during various holidays.
The lobby has a modern, hipster vibe. Instead of the restaurant and bar tucked away in the back, it is right up front-and-center. The FLOE Lounge offers a variety of tempting coastal dishes with a lanky bar serving handcrafted specialty cocktails. Offering indoor and outdoor seating it is just so California! There is also a Speakeasy tucked -away... and what a wonderful surprise that is!
1) the Gather Spaces where "sea meets city" vibe and features local artisans, 2) the Bar in a European pub-style bar area with illuminated colorful bottles that seem to dance along the back wall illuminating all the amazing liquors available, 3) Indoor Dining in a modern seaside setting features up-lit stainless steel cables, sculptures, and even large communal tables, however my favorite spot is, 4) the Outdoor Patio featuring a heated terrace with fire pits. It is a layground for adults---by day the umbrellas shade the patio and there are ping-pong tables and a 70-inch TV. By night the space comes to life with LED lighting, fire pits, and dive-in movies by the pool area.
The all-day menu (breakfast/lunch/dinner) features modern coastal cuisine and signature cocktails. In the morning there are classic dishes and pancakes, along with signature breakfast fare. Lunch and dinner menus are quite flexible. It is more like a grazing menu versus a dinner house. There are quick bites, share-able bites like fish tacos and flatbreads, heirloom tomato caprese, soups & salads and casual dining "big meal bowls" whereby guests customize their order with their favorite starch, protein and seasonal vegetables. What a great idea!
beer list. There is seriously something for everyone here!
On Tuesday and Thursday evenings there is live music from 5:30-7:30pm. They also offer 3-hour complimentary valet parking with Lounge validation.
Restaurant hours are: Monday-Friday: 6:00am to midnight, and Saturday-Sunday from 7:00am to midnight.
Because "You Never Know." And thus the name ---the YNK Speakeasy! This is where classic cocktails meet travel and innovation. This is a very special find. They are re-defining what it means to have the "perfect cocktail experience." It is an ever-changing beverage experience created by the Ellis Adams Group. The cocktail journey varies seasonally, so visitors don't get bored and YOU NEVER KNOW where the cocktail experts will take you next!
This month (April) is an immersion in Spain. This means the specialty beverages include: Gin and Tonics, Sangria, Queimada, Rebujiot, Calimocho, and Spanish Armada. There are videos playing on both side walls to transport you to Spain. And as the location changes, so do the beverages and video muse. Come along for the ride. Immerse yourself. Their passion for veiled & smoky concoctions is magical and intoxicating. YNK Hours are: Tuesday thru Saturday 5:00 until...well...you-never-know.
Examples of some of the bar nibbles include: Bedeviled Eggs with Bacon, Jalapeno and Cilantro, Meatballs with Spicy Marinara Sauce, Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Bacon, Maple Syrup and Pine Nuts, Mango and Shrimp Jicama Taco with Spicy Sauce. In addition to an extensive wine list featuring the finest vintages from California and abroad, they feature handcrafted cocktails and seven beers on tap.
In the dining room there is a lovely selection of Small Plates---from Eggplant Hummus to Ahi Poke and Roasted Tomato Bisque. There are four Flat Breads to select from and my favorite is the BBQ Chicken, however the Fig and Arugula is delicious too topped with Bourbon Bacon and Goat Cheese. Salads are a meal in and of themselves---from Flat Iron Caesar to Salmon Bibb and Chinese Chicken Salad too. Larger plates include burgers and fresh fish, Lobster mac n' cheese and more. The hours are: Daily from 6:00am to 10:00pm, and until 11:00pm on Friday and Saturday nights.
The AC Hotel Irvine is a brand new hotel that just opened early April 2017. The hotel is located in the Park Place business park (at the corner of Jamboree Road and Michaelson). The hotel features 176 spacious guest rooms with a modern décor and integrated work stations in the guestrooms. There is a fitness center and heated swimming pool on the second floor.
10:30am, and on Saturday and Sunday from 6:30-11:00am.
few examples. On tap are four beverages including: a Sparkling Wine, Chardonnay, Cabernet and a Wild Ruby Vodka Cocktail. There are 14 beers served via bottles. This is definitely worth checking out and for those staying at the hotel, there are numerous restaurants just steps away for complete lunch and dinner options.


This week I am joined by Politics.co.uk editor Ian Dunt to discuss the Charlie Hebdo killings, the NHS crisis, Angela Merkel wagging Cameron's immigration dog and whether the PM is chickening out of the leader debates.
House of Comments podcast is back!
I'll be doing these fairly regularly in the run up to the general election, just me hosting and usually one guest per week looking at recent political developments.
This week I am joined by Left Foot Forward editor James Bloodworth to discuss the political highlights of 2014 and to look forward to what 2015 has in store. Topics include the rise of UKIP (inevitably), Labour's diminishing poll lead, the Scottish referendum and aftermath and Russia's annexation of Crimea.


For Bragard, innovation is a powerful motor. Combined with French expertise, elegance and textiles of tomorrow, and in close cooperation with the professionals who inhabit this kitchen realm, it opens the door to the avant-garde.
The realm of the kitchen is the first source of inspiration for this fashion stylist. She makes custom-designed jackets and aprons so that each chef is allowed to express his or her personality. With Bragard's creative team, she has created a collection of elegant and refined kitchen jackets.
Since 2007 the Auberge collection, jointly created by the chef, Cédric Béchade, and Bragard, provides a complete collection for all of the trades involved in the kitchen and dining room. With what has become the veritable cult of the "jacket shirt," which Bragard was the first to create 10 years ago, (the Bakio model for men and the Bilba model for women), the vest-styled service apron (Banka model) and a polo shirt created for those who prepare the dining room (Ainhoa model), the Auberge collection is refined, elegant and technically sophisticated.
When the rules of fashion are applied to the kitchen, you get the Urban Chef, a denim clothing line that incorporates the latest trends in the food service industry. In the image of emerging talents in the world of bistronomy, Urban Chef combines innovation, originality, style and modernity.

A Troubling Series of False Nuclear Missile Alarms: From Hawaii, Japan, and the Pentagon
January 21st, 2018 - by admin
Lucy Steigerwald / Foundation for Economic Education & The Associated Press & Alex Ward / VOX News – 2018-01-21 20:50:28
Missile False Alarm in Hawaii: How Wrong Buttons Can Wreak Havoc
Missile False Alarm in Hawaii:
How Wrong Buttons Can Wreak Havoc
Should the survival of humanity hinge on bureaucratic protocols?
Lucy Steigerwald / Foundation for Economic Education
(January 15, 2018) — On Saturday at 8:05 am, residents of Hawaii were terrified by a text message that said a missile was heading their way, and they should "seek shelter immediately." Helpfully, the message also said, "this is not a drill." And it wasn't — it was merely a stomach-clenching error.
Ten minutes after it was sent, it was canceled, and updates were broadcast over social media saying so. However, it wasn't until 8:45 that a follow-up text saying it had been a mistake was sent out. In the meantime, according to The New York Times and other reports, more than a few families huddled completely terrified, assuming that they were about to die — or at least that there was nothing to be done about it if they were.
An Infamous Error
Hawaii, which is 2,400 miles from California and 4,600 miles from North Korea, is a lot closer to a potentially hot sequel to the Cold War than the rest of us and is understandably tenser, even without this kind of morning. Last year, they started monthly bomb drills thanks to the ongoing battle between President Trump and Kim Jong-Un.
The error was the fault of a still unnamed employee of Hawaii's state version of FEMA — The Hawaii Emergency Management Agency. According to the BBC:
"State Governor David Ige apologized and said it was caused by an employee pressing the wrong button."
And though this might end up a valuable push towards fixing a rickety system that managed to incorrectly inform people that they should duck and cover, but not officially say "hang on, not really" for more than half an hour, it is a truly unforgivable error. Now, two employees will have to okay any subsequent warnings, which certainly sounds like something that should have already been the case now.
Though much of the classic fiction about nuclear war — including the 1964 satire Dr. Strangelove — deals with a fear of automated nuclear war destroying humanity, or at least the system itself being unstoppable once a human "pushes the button," a notable thing about Saturday's mistake is how human it was. (Reportedly the employee in question had to do multiple confirmations of sending the message.) But it did demonstrate the power of one person to cause mass suffering through what might have been the longest half hour of countless Hawaiians' lives.
Brushes with Armageddon
The Cold War had many such scrapes, most notably during the Cuban Missile Crisis, but also in the 1980s when tensions returned to critical levels between the US and the USSR. In both cases, Soviet individuals were the ones brave and human enough to not use the weapons at their disposal.
A sub didn't fire their nuclear-tipped torpedo during the US' blockade of Cuba thanks only to the vote of Vasili Arkhipov, who was second-in-command on a sub that required all three senior officers to agree to fire the weapon.
In 1983, a man named Stanislav Petrov took the time to gamble on a report of five incoming US missiles being a mistake. It was. Both of those men have been referred to as having saved the world — arguably hyperbolic, but not as much as we'd like.
A terrifyingly mechanical system has more than once depended on human beings who were unwilling to take that final step into nuclear war. Humans who, in fact, have risked national safety and even world safety on not being the person to say fire.
But though men like Arkhipov and Petrov are a credit to us all, the more you learn about nuclear policy during the duck-and-cover days, the more amazing it feels that mankind has stuck around.
An Error-Prone Machine
Famed whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg, 86, is best known for the Pentagon Papers leak. However, at the time, he also snatched thousands of documents on nuclear policy, because everything he had learned about it during his career as a civilian with tremendous access screamed that the public needed to know.
Ellsberg relates the nauseating details in his recent book The Doomsday Machine, an important tome that's as optimistic as it sounds. It's vital reading that reminds people that both poor planning — such as the US under Dwight Eisenhower having no contingency in place for only bombing the USSR into dust, but it being a package deal with China, something that confirmed the rigidity of these planners as well as their blithely democidal tendencies — and the potential for simple mistakes still run rampant in US nuclear policy.
Ellsberg noted in an interview with Reason that if it happened, a "nuclear holocaust will be one of the most carefully prepared for events in human history." He focuses on the Cold War, but there are still 15,000 nuclear weapons in the world, with around 10,000 of them military-ready, and nuclear powers are still butting heads as if the survival of humans isn't what's being gambled on.
This Hawaii mistake might, for good and for ill, encourage the federal government to put a contingency plan in place about how best to respond to a real attack — or one that appears real. It is haunting that that might involve firing back at an offending country, or even doing so before the threat is confirmed.
Officially — as far as any of us know — only the president has that power, in one of the neat tricks of American politics that says Congress makes war, but firing a nuclear weapon doesn't count. In reality, Ellsberg makes the case that the presidential aide carrying the nuclear football is "theater." We don't know who can make the choice to fire a missile back, or who might make that choice in the most terrible moment, or what other errors run rampant in these warning systems.

NHK Says Staffer Sent N. Korean Missile Alert in Error
The Associated Press & The Asahi Shimbun
(January 17, 2018) — Japan Broadcasting Corp. (NHK) said Wednesday that an erroneous alert about a North Korean missile fired at Japan was sent by a staff member who meant to transmit a different news flash. NHK denied any mechanical flaw and said it is studying preventive measures, though it did not give further details.
The false alarm Tuesday came just days after emergency authorities in Hawaii sent a mistaken warning of a missile attack to mobile phones across the state, triggering panic.
The erroneous NHK news flash had been prepared for a possible emergency, the broadcaster said, adding that transmission of an alert usually involves checking by multiple staff members.
The false alert said North Korea appeared to have fired a missile at Japan and that the government was warning people to take shelter. NHK retracted the mistake in five minutes, first on the internet, and then apologized on air and other formats.
NHK said it was not sure how many of the 300,000 followers of its "NHK News and Disaster Prevention" service saw the alert or if anyone followed the instructions.
The broadcaster said most of the complaints it had received were from people who learned about the mistake when they saw the correction instead of the erroneous flash itself. Some, however, were simply trying to make sure a missile was actually not fired.
Tension has grown in Japan over North Korean missile tests. NHK and other Japanese media generally alert each missile test, and the government has issued emergency notices when the missiles flew over northern Japan.
Japan is also stepping up its missile defense capabilities and is conducting missile drills across the country. Tokyo will have its first drill next week.
Pentagon Tweets Fake News about Nuclear War:
Risks Alarming North Korea
The US military tweeted out bad information
about its nukes. North Korea will notice
Alex Ward / VOX News
(November 15, 2017) — The military command overseeing America's nuclear arsenal just made an embarrassing — and potentially dangerous — mistake. On Wednesday afternoon, it tweeted a link to an article falsely claiming that the US maintains "secret silos" for its nuclear warheads and has "B-1 bombers that can drop them from the air."
The problem, as experts almost immediately pointed out on Twitter, is that the US doesn't mhave "secret" silos — you can find their locations on Google — and the B-1 bomber isn't capable of dropping nuclear bombs.
And here's why this matters: Tweeting out the article only increases the chance of miscalculation between North Korea and the United States while tensions between the two nuclear powers are already sky-high.
Since there is very little communication between the two countries, any kind of message the US sends out is read by Pyongyang with great interest. And. as Van Jackson, an Asia security expert at Victoria University of Wellington, pointed out today, North Korea was already inclined to believe that the B-1 can carry — and drop — nuclear weapons. Now, it seems like the US military is confirming that suspicion.
That means the next time the US military flies the B-1 in a training exercise near or over the Korean Peninsula — which it did earlier this month — North Korea might think the plane is carrying nuclear weapons. So it's no wonder Jackson and Vipin Narang, a nuclear expert at MIT — among others — took to Twitter to denounce the tweet and the article as soon as they saw it.
Bad Communication Only Makes
US-North Korea Tensions Worse
Pyongyang and Washington are already in a war of words. Last Saturday, Trump took to Twitter to call North Korean leader Kim Jong Un "short" and "fat." In response, North Korea's state-run paper Rodong Sinmun hit back, as reported by New York magazine:
Trump betrayed his true colors as an old lunatic, mean trickster and human reject during his one-night-and-two-days stay in South Korea," the editorial said. "He should know that he is just a hideous criminal sentenced to death by the Korean people. He will be forced to pay dearly for his blasphemy any moment.
That's a foreign newspaper, with tight connection to its government, stating it believes a sitting US president should be killed. Even though North Korea puts out many crazy-sounding statements, it doesn't make the tensions any less real.
That's why the US military should be much more careful about what it chooses to say — or not say — about America's nuclear arsenal. North Korea takes those statements seriously, and any mistake, regardless of the cause, can make a tense situation even worse.

Q. What caused you to sponsor this bill (HB349 SD1) which will allow counties to regulate bike tours?
A. After I killed the Superferry EIS bill, my continuants were so mad at me, I figured I'd better do something fast to make myself look good. This was easy. Everyone hates the Bike Tours.
Q. Why have you included unescorted bike companies in the bill? I heard they aren't the ones blocking traffic. In fact, there are claims their riders make more stops and buy more goods because they're not being rushed along in a group.
A. Well, I didn't want the tour bike companies to be too mad at me. After all, I may have to hit them up for donations next election. So I figured I'd do them a favor and make life difficult for the companies who don't do tours. These unguided tours are cutting into the guided tour profits.
Q. One last question. Why did you sponsor this bill with Rep Yamashita instead of getting a Senator to sponsor it.
A. Kyle's the only one still talking to me.

Over the last three months, I've encountered four WordPress sites that were hacked or completely unresponsive that required immediate attention. In each of the four instances, the reason was the same: Failure to update WordPress, Themes and Plugins.
That is right — in each of the four instances, simply updating the code-base, plugins and themes would have prevented the sites from being compromised.
Additionally, each of the four websites that were impacted failed to have a regular backup procedure. Luckily, the sites ere reparable. If these sites had not been repairable, years of blogging and content development would have instantly vanished.
Website development is costly, both in terms of time and money. Most web development contracts are considered complete at launch; so once the site is live, ongoing updates are generally not included. In this case, if your site is hijacked several months after launch, you will likely be billed to resolve the issue.
Obviously, this is a source of frustration for the client and the development house. Clients think the developers created a faulty product, while the developers feel they delivered a product that wasn't properly maintained.
Not all security breaches are preventable, nor will all servers function properly 100% of the time. That said, hackers are known to exploit known vulnerabilities, thus routine maintenance is often all that is necessary to protect yourself.
Create a schedule to update your WordPress core files, plugins, themes and databases. In the event of catastrophic meltdown, you will have all the ingredients to recover your site.

West Hants council approves arena project at Hants County Exhibition location

'We need a win'
WINDSOR, N.S. - If the arena project were a hockey game, West Hants just approved it in overtime.
After years of debate, back-and-forth, studies, and hurt feelings, Windsor will finally be getting a new arena, thanks to the Municipality of West Hants.
In a unanimous vote Aug. 21, West Hants council approved a motion to guarantee approximately $4.5 million in funds to be put towards an arena at the Hants County Exhibition grounds, located off of Wentworth Road in Windsor.
The project, estimated to cost approximately $10.5 million in total, including land purchase, HST, and a parking lot, could house 500 seats and 10 dressing rooms, although the design has yet to be finalized.
The project could also allow for future expansion via a second phase, which could incorporate an indoor soccer rink, which would be considered at a later time.
The meeting on Aug. 21 was called quickly, after the municipality decided to pursue their own project, following Windsor council's decision to pull the Long Pond arena project, citing cost overruns and community division.
West Hants Warden Abraham Zebian said he wanted to ensure the region didn't lose out on an opportunity to secure a combined $6 million in provincial and federal funding.
"It's obvious that council recognized the need for a successful conclusion to this project saga," Zebian said. "We need a win."
Several councillors raised concerns, including the potential for the tax rate to increase if West Hants is on the hook for the entire $4.5 million, and potentially dipping into the reserve funds.
Zebian said he's hopeful that the Town of Windsor, corporate sponsors and fundraisers will rally around this new project.
"With a very short period of time, we wanted to present what would be the worst case scenario to our council and residents, and even the worst case scenario is still pretty good," he said.
"The support is still there from the earlier proposal, it's just shifted to this site," Zebian continued.
"I'm more than confident that we'll be breaking ground by May (2019) and all of the money will be accounted for," he said.

Paul Phillips, president of the West Hants Minor Hockey Association, said he was thrilled with the municipality's decision, saying the area needs two ice surfaces.
"We needed something, we were happy with whatever location it was going to be," Phillips said after West Hants voted. "I think regardless of where your position was, for Long Pond or against it, I think people will be on board with this. It's a good thing for the community."
West Hants Chief Administrative Officer Martin Laycock said the next steps the municipality will take will be working with provincial representatives to make sure the application proceeds through the Small Communities Fund.
"I think our biggest thing is to get the fundraising component up and running and I'll be reaching out to (CAO Louis Coutinho) who has some experience with this," he said.

Why the LA Noire remaster is the perfect match for VR
By Jon Porter 2017-09-07T14:42:52.249Z Gaming
Solving crimes in virtual reality
Unconfirmed rumors of a VR version of LA Noire first started swirling back in January, but today Rockstar finally made the announcement official. The VR version of the game will be arriving on the HTC Vive alongside the PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch remasters on November 14.
We'll admit that when we first heard the rumors we were sceptical. LA Noire has received the least love of all of Rockstar's franchises (aside from the oddity that was Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis).
While Grand Theft Auto has received over a dozen sequels and spin-offs, and Midnight Club and Red Dead have seen a couple of sequels apiece, LA Noire received just a single entry before its developer, Team Bondi, was unceremoniously shuttered.
So the news that the game will not only be receiving a remaster, but also a reworked virtual reality entry, is music to our ears. Finally the game will be playable on current generation systems, and will see a new lease of life as a portable game.
But the virtual reality release is what has us the most excited, because LA Noire might just be the most perfect match for VR that we've ever heard of.
Although the act of playing games in virtual reality is certainly fun, undoubtedly its biggest strength is its ability to transport you to to another world.
I had far more fun just wandering around Rick's workshow in the Rick and Morty VR game than I've had in many other more 'gamey' experiences.
But interestingly, the same can often be said of Rockstar's games. Sure, the things you do in Grand Theft Auto are fun, but the things people most remember about those games are the cities themselves. They feel detailed, rich, and alive in the way that real-world cities do.
This makes Rockstar's games the perfect match for virtual reality, but the fast-paced multi-vehicular nature of Grand Theft Auto would be a terrible match for current VR headsets.
A slow-paced explore-a-thon
Meanwhile, LA Noire is the polar opposite. While getting to each location requires a little bit of driving, the game is otherwise almost completely devoid of the fast-paced action that has come to define Rockstar's games.
Instead the game revolves around you picking your way through confined crime scenes, examining evidence (motion-controls anyone?) and interviewing suspects.
In a move that seems almost made for VR, the game's menu system even revolves around your police notebook, which you use to track evidence, and which would work perfectly as a prop in a virtual space.
There are no complicated controls, and very little fast-paced action. It's just you and the virtual world in all its beautifully rendered glory.
A limited seven mission experience
Although it would have been great to see the whole game rendered in virtual reality, Rockstar has instead chosen to remaster a more conservative seven cases from the original game for the HTC Vive headset.
We imagine this means that the more action-focussed missions will be omitted, although Rockstar is yet to confirm the exact missions that will be featured.
Regardless, LA Noire was one of the most underrated games of the last-generation of consoles. While it would be amazing to see it gen a proper current-gen sequel, a VR remaster should add enough that it will feel almost like an entirely new experience.
If Rockstar plays its cards right, then LA Noire might end up being one of the best VR games of 2017.

About Etherwood
Producer and guitarist Etherwood discovered drum'n'bass during the late '90s but didn't release his first production until 2012. Technically, the first recording to bear his name was a Jakwob and Etherwood remix of Lana Del Rey's "Video Games"; he also played guitar as part of Jakwob's band. He made his proper debut that November when he appeared on Hospital Records' Sick Music 3 compilation with "Give It Up," an emotive track laced with multiple melodic keyboard lines. The similarly emotive "Spoken" was placed on Hospitality Drum & Bass 2013 in January 2013, and the producer's first album, a self-titled set with appearances from the likes of Nu:Tone, Laurelle Robichaud, Georgia Yates, and Hybrid Minds, was released on Hospital's Med School division that November. The album was a minor commercial success, but was hailed by fans and critics alike, and Etherwood soon became a firm favorite with the drum'n'bass crowd. His second album, Blue Leaves, followed two years later, and his third, In Stillness, early in 2018; recorded in total solitude in the wilds of Finland, it featured the lushest, most poignant music he'd made to date, while incorporating more live elements than ever before. ~ Andy Kellman

For the first time in 17 years, the U.S. government is without an approved budget, putting the jobs of more than 800,000 workers in jeopardy and bringing many federal services to a grinding halt.
Among the services affected are those of the Justice Department, which has been preparing for a November 25 trial to adjudicate its lawsuit to block the American-US Airways merger on antitrust grounds.
American and US Airways have consistently pushed for the earliest possible trial date, citing the outcome's importance in American's exit from bankruptcy, which is predicated on the merger proceeding as planned.
According to Associated Press coverage, there's a possibility that the court would order the trial to keep to the original schedule, in effect authorizing the DOJ to spend as necessary to keep it lawyers working through the shutdown.
