Photobook Interviews: Greta Punch
By Soff on Wednesday, 27th January | Comments
Greta Punch is an aspiring Photographer and Designer from Australia. She has just finished her first year in TAFE (that's Technical and Further Education for all you non-Aussie folks) doing Graphic Design and is involved in the Australian premiere of the musical 'Big Fish'. She's got big dreams, and here she is sharing her stories with us.
1. So how are you? How's things? What's happenin?
Quite a lot is happening, actually. I recently finished my first year of TAFE doing graphic design and towards the end of my assistant-directed production Australian premiere of the musical 'Big Fish'.
Since about May 2015, my life has been 50% TAFE assignments and 50% planning and organising this production. Apart from assistant directing, I've also been doing photography and design for it as well so it's almost a full time job… without the pay. I was very excited to be asked to be a feature for Photobook Worldwide though! I got my very first Photobook from there back in 2012 for my final assessment for my Bachelor of Photography and I was so impressed I've never gone anywhere else.
*Editor's note: Below is one of the several Photobooks Greta has made with us. Click Here to check out more Wedding Readybook designs.
2. Tell our readers here what they should probably know about you.
I'm 25, and I live in Melbourne, Australia. I started photography when I was about 15, back at Brauer College, in Warrnambool. We were only allowed to do photography OR media because they ran at the same time, and I think I chose the right one. I really liked the research part of it, weirdly, because usually I hate all the lead up to the actual work – I just want to take photos and have them finished! I started at RMIT in 2010 and was there for three years, and I learnt a lot.
*RMIT: Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology
I did a lot of portrait stuff at RMIT (which was my favourite), and I worked with a few comedians / funny people on one of my projects and I really fell in love with stylised portraits. I felt it captures the essence or aspirations of a person. They were also works that I scored highly in! I did a big project on LGBTQ youth in Melbourne (which became my first Photobook!) which was well received, and I even did a radio interview for it.
Some of the photos ended up in Archer Magazine which was my first hard copy magazine publication, so that was really exciting.
3. So besides portraits, what other kind of photographs have you done?
Not a lot really… I've done a lot of what I guess can be called 'travel' photography in North America and Europe, which were hardly any portraits at all. For me to shoot something without people in it, it needs to be a really visually inspirational scene.
For example, shooting around my hometown and finding something I really love would be quite difficult because I've seen it all so often, for such a long time. But going to Paris, or Brooklyn, everything is so new that everywhere I look, something can be photographed. Often I'll get back to my hotel and find that most of it is terrible, and the ones I took the quickest are the best, compared to ones I've laboured over which are average.
I also move in and out of film photography – I'm really impatient so film can be frustrating but I love the mystery and how you can't inspect the shot and take another. If it sucks, you won't know for ages, and if it's amazing, then the wait was even more worthwhile. I often forget to take photos on my film camera while overseas though, because my hand is glued to my DSLR – like I said, I'm very impatient.
4. What inspires you when selecting your shots?
I currently am into photographing wide open shots and having the foreground sharp and the background soft. I love the effect it has on an image, and how you can't recreate it on smartphone or by simply point-n-shoot. Getting an image with a really beautiful focus is about setting a quality which can make give backyard shots that premium treatment.
When i'm on a job and shooting my portraits, I'm always trying to get the eyes perfect. It's not only about making sure there were not blinking, but making them sharp, reflecting what I want the image to say. Disinterested eyes can really mess up the whole composition. When I'm shooting a wedding and I get the light and focus right, I can shoot up to 20-25 photos of the bride and bridesmaids just because the focus is so beautiful, giving me exactly what I want. Then when I get home, I decide which of those 25 get to stay, and it usually comes down to what the eyes are saying.
I also really love colour – I'll shoot in black and white if I have to, but if I'm planning something I always visualise it in full colour. I'm really into dusty pinks and sunset colours at the moment, but that could change any day now.
5. Tell us about some of the more interesting shots you've taken.
Probably my most favourite shoot I ever did was with comedian Sammy J. back in 2012 for my final portfolio. I wanted to take some stylised portrait images for an assignment, while he was coincidentally was looking to make an album cover too. So it became a combination project. It was both so exciting and kind of terrifying, because for someone who hadn't even graduated photography school yet this was a lot of pressure.
I was a big Sammy J. fan and wouldn't turn down the job, but I was so nervous that he'd hate it or that it wouldn't be good enough. Anyway, the shoot turned out pretty good. It was well planned and prepared that it went super smoothly and I was very proud afterwards. Sammy J. and I are still in contact too, which is about all you could ask for! The album we worked on (Skinny Man, Modern World) ended up being nominated for an ARIA in the 'comedy' category, and my photo was displayed at the nomination announcements really huge so that was really, really exciting.
*ARIA Awards: Australian Record Industry Association
I also did a mini-project while at MoMA in New York in 2015, which was taking photos of people taking photos of the artwork. I would admit to spending a lot of my days in museums and art galleries just photographing everything, wanting to see how many people I could catch in the act. Some of them ended up being photos of people looking at the art, because photos of just the art themselves can get a bit repetitive.
I could google what Van Gogh's Starry Night looks like, but what did it look like at this exact time on this exact day? Which artworks are constantly surrounded by people and which artworks are hidden in a corner with hardly any views? It was interesting to see where people flocked to and what was left alone. It was an interesting way to look at the art, compared to through my iPhone or just wandering around reading captions. It was also a good lesson in quick focusing because people only hold their phones up for a second. I spent a lot of time standing behind people who were preparing to take a photo with my trigger finger half-pressed so I could take a rapid series.
*MoMA: Museum of Modern Art
6. You mentioned that you're into performing arts. What's that about?
Well I got into drama and performing arts at around age 13 – I always enjoyed it but never participated. I was chorus in a production of The Music Man in my hometown of Warrnambool, VIC, Australia, and it changed me forever. I loved the teamwork and the atmosphere, and working towards a common goal – and the common goal also involved costumes, makeup and ultimately, the applause. That was 11 years ago now, and I'm still working with that same company. I've done photography for two of their shows (three by the time you read this!) as well as a load of graphic design – programs, t-shirts, posters, banners, flyers – which is maybe what got me into graphic design as well. If I could write down a dream job and receive it instantly, I'd be photographing the musicals and plays on Broadway or West End – you know when you buy a program and it's full of those exciting full colour sharp pictures of the show you're about to watch? Those would be mine.
7. What are your future plans looking like at the moment?
I still have another year left of TAFE in my graphic design course, and after that I think it would be nice to have a small studio and have a design/photography business, maybe with a couple of other people, who also specialise in a type of creative media. That way we could all have discussions about our personal projects and help each other out. Our office would also be really nice, with big windows and lots of plants with big leaves and things would be made of copper and all our mugs would be mismatched. From that, I'd hopefully build enough of a portfolio to get work overseas so I can start working with new people in new locations. I really love doing my design and photography work, but working from home makes it feel like less of a job and more of a hobby. I also require people to talk to and throw ideas at and show them my work so far, and when it's 2am and you're in your bedroom and all your friends are asleep, that's annoying. A professional environment with understanding and creative friends is the dream!

Any opportunity I have to visit Liberty Science Center (LSC) with my family is embraced because I know that behind every corner is another opportunity to learn through play. It is an absolute must do experience for families in New Jersey as well as during any of the extended breaks. Since spring break varies based on your specific school calendar, the winter break is a universal break for school aged children throughout the garden state. LSC capitalizes on this in their 12 Days of Science which entails 3D printing, igloo building and the physics of hockey (to name a few). As guests of LSC, we were able to explore several unique activities of 12 Days of Science in addition to the permanent and rotating exhibits.
In not many instances will launching toilet paper into the air be transformed into a scientific lesson unless you are at Liberty Science Center. Based on the Bernoulli Principle, we sat down to watch how to the power of leaf blowers, paint rollers, and toilet paper results in a mid-day child's dream. At noon each day of 12 Days of Science, you can go to the Governor's Hall for this explosion.
While there has not been enough quantity of snow to build an actual igloo, LSC has exposed children to building toys utilizing a simple household item: milk containers in 2016. Incorporated throughout the building are stations that promote learning through hands on fun which can be building an igloo. In the past , they have had 3D printing a snowflake or playing with tactile material. Employees are available to guide the children who get stuck along the process.
All dressed up to visit LSC, an African penguin from Jenkinson's Aquarium is a special guest at the festivities. There are several educational shows which are free with admission. You do need to pick up tickets one hour before the show and can line up ten minutes before they open the doors. Children learn about penguin life from their inability to fly to their location (hint: they live below the imaginary penguin fence often times referred to as the equator). Every seat offers a great view as they will wheel the penguin around the audience.
Liberty Science Center is proud to open the Western Hemisphere's largest planetarium. The Jennifer Chalsty Planetarium along with the Star Trek exhibit has inspired the LSC to launch a month long celebration of outer space called Cosmic Celebration. Pop Up Science stations will promote a better understanding of Astronomy as well as Engineering.
12 Days of Science takes place from December 22, 2017 to January 1, 2018 and is included with general admission. Our listing only covered a few experiences, however, there are so many more such as Slapshot Hockey, Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream and the Laser Wonderland Show! This is in addition to the Thomas & Friends or Star Trek : Star Fleet Academy exhibits , the Infinity Climber and other exhibits that will have your kids absorbing information about the world that surrounds them. We recommend checking the calendar on the Liberty Science Center website as not all the activities we listed are available every day.

Posted on July 11, 2019 by Scott Johnson in Ilhan Omar, Media
Carlson versus Omar
Tucker Carlson has highlighted Ilhan Omar's unusual ingratitude to the country that took her in as a refugee. Omar is one of the luckiest people in the world. As we have noted many times, however, she is a bottomless fount of grievances and complaints. Although Omar was elected to Congress to represent Minnesota's Fifth District at the age of 36, when it comes to her life in the United States, she is the eternal victim: nobody knows the trouble she's seen. It's the new assimilation.
The Washington Post profile of Omar that appeared over the weekend showed Omar to be a liar and an ingrate. Omar lies shamelessly for more reasons than one, but the Post showed her lying shamelessly to disparage the United States.
Supplement the Post profile with the Star Tribune's deep dive into the the Omar scandals that have been hiding in plain sight over the past three years: Omar is a fraud as well. She dissembles to conceal her scandals with the complicity of the Post, the Times, and her other allies on the left. In its profile the Post all but covered up the scandals.
Omar's allies on the left amplify Omar's all-purpose charge of racism to stigmatize her political opponents. As I noted in "The curious case of Ilhan Omar," she employed it in her first response to me three years ago. Omar has now hauled it out to ward off Carlson. This is her big gun: "Fox News is now giving a nightly platform to white supremacist rhetoric. It's dangerous."
Oh, yeah: he's also "a racist fool."
It's predictable. It's obvious. It's lame. It's getting old.
Tucker responded in his monologue last night (video below and also at the link along with a transcript). We're with Tucker.
Quotable quote: "Our country rescued Ilhan Omar from the single poorest place on Earth. We didn't do it for the money, we did it because we are kind people. How did she respond to the remarkable gift we gave her? She scolded us, called us names, showered us with contempt."

DIO: 'Live In London: Hammersmith Apollo' To Be Released on DVD, Blu-Ray, 2CD And Digital
Eagle Rock has set a May 12 release date for DIO's "Live In London: Hammersmith Apollo" on DVD, Blu-ray, 2CD and digital formats.
Filmed at London, England's Hammersmith Apollo on December 12, 1993, this previously unreleased concert film captures the then newly reformed DIO band on the last night of their European tour in support of the "Strange Highways" album. With a lineup of Ronnie James Dio (vocals), Vinny Appice (drums), Jeff Pilson (bass) and Tracy G (guitar), the band delivered a blistering performance on tracks from the "Strange Highways" album, previous DIO classics and favorites from Ronnie's career with BLACK SABBATH and RAINBOW.
"Live In London: Hammersmith Apollo" track listing:
01. Stand Up And Shout
02. Strange Highways
03. Don't Talk To Strangers
04. Evilution
05. Pain (with guitar solo)
06. The Mob Rules
07. Children Of The Sea
08. Holy Diver
09. Heaven And Hell
10. Man On The Silver Mountain
11. Drum Solo
12. Heaven And Hell (reprise)
13. Jesus Mary & The Holy Ghost
14. Hollywood Black
15. The Last In Line
16. Rainbow In The Dark
17. We Rock
18. Here's To You
"The Mob Rules" performance clip, taken from "Live In London: Hammersmith Apollo", can be seen below.
In a mid-1990s interview with Extreme magazine, Ronnie James Dio stated about the "Strange Highways" LP: "When we did that album, the record company just went, 'Whoa — we don't know what to do with this one, so we'll throw it against the wall and if it does something. We'll support it. If not — the hell with it!' They really did nothing. We were at the back end of getting ready to leave that label anyway; it just wasn't the place for us… But I must say I can't lay the blame on everybody else, that album perhaps sounded too dated — that might have been one of its problems too… We started writing in a different manner on the 'Strange Highways' album and it's carried on in that writing style to [1996's 'Angry Machines']. We've just taken it a few steps closer to the year 2000 rather than looking back and trying to be a reunion band and thinking, 'Gee, I think they're going to like this one — it sounds like 'Holy Diver'!' That's something I never wanted to do."
Ronnie James Dio, best known for his work with BLACK SABBATH, RAINBOW and his own band DIO, died of stomach cancer on May 16, 2010 at the age of 67.
Dio was renowned throughout the world as one of the greatest and most influential vocalists in heavy metal history. The singer, who was recording and touring with SABBATH offshoot HEAVEN & HELL prior to his illness, was diagnosed with stomach cancer in late 2009. He underwent chemotherapy and made his final public appearance in April 2010 at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards in Los Angeles.

Georgia Education Leadership Institute: After Sandy Hook, building a legacy of safer schools
The subject of this story, Michele Gay, spoke to attendees of GaDOE's Georgia Education Leadership Institute on September 11, 2014.
The morning of December 14, 2012 was ordinary.
Michele Gay spent it shuffling her three daughters through their morning routine – snapping elastics around ponytails, packing lunches, neutralizing the usual sibling clashes. Her youngest, Josephine, wasn't feeling well, so she kept her at home a little longer, kept an eye on her.
Josephine, who had just turned seven, was autistic. She didn't speak. Once an elementary school teacher, Gay had made it her full-time job to advocate for her, to help navigate her world.
Later that morning, Josephine had lunchbox and backpack in hand, ready to head to school after all. Mother and daughter piled into the car and headed off.
As the car rolled off, most Americans had never heard of Josephine's school – Sandy Hook Elementary, in Newtown, Connecticut. By the end of the day, that was no longer true. It may never be true again.
The phone call came later: the district superintendent's voice announcing a lockdown at an unnamed school in the system. Gay "put the phone down and thought about Columbine," she said, but she also thought of the infinitely less serious things that can trigger a lockdown, such as neighborhood crime.
She returned to her car and started driving through town, assuming she'd see evidence of a lockdown at the high school. There was nothing, and still nothing, and then emergency vehicles overtook her, screaming past her car.
She followed them to Sandy Hook.
At first, it seemed all was well, if tenuously so. The evacuation was going smoothly. The terror that seized Gay when the responder vehicles rushed past seemed, for a time, to have been misplaced. She thought she'd find her daughters – thought she'd find Josephine.
But there were children filing out of the school, hands facing forward and resting on each other's shoulders. Their heads were down; first responders had sought to shield them from the horrors inside the school.
Josephine wasn't with them. Later, Gay would realize she had seen her daughter for the last time that morning, that slowed-down morning with extra cuddles on the couch.
Not long after Gay drove to the school, swarmed on the road with emergency lights, the news bulletins started flashing. A gunman had entered Sandy Hook Elementary. Twenty students, including Josephine Gay, lost their lives. Six adults died trying to protect them.
That's one of the things Michele Gay remembers, and she continues to tell their stories. Her audience at the Georgia Education Leadership Institute heard about the custodian who ran through the hallways, locking doors, about the teachers who shielded their students' bodies with their own, about the
administrative staff who "ran toward the sound of chaos" after the gunman shot through the glass bordering the school's locked front door.
"I'll never know if they knew what they were running into," Gay said. "But as our children's protectors, they all ran out from the conference room in that first hallway. As soon as they stepped out of the door, they were met with his gunfire."
It's been almost two years since that day. Two years since response vehicles flooded the parking lot of Sandy Hook Elementary School. Two years Josephine has been gone.
She no longer needs an advocate, not in the way she did before. But Gay, tireless, has not stopped fighting for her youngest girl.
Her Safe and Sound: A Sandy Hook Initiative has become a force in the push for safer schools. Gay and Alissa Parker – whose daughter, Emilie, was another of the children who died at Sandy Hook, are adamant about empowering schools and their communities to improve security. "It can't happen here," they tell them, is not an excuse. It is not true.
There are, Gay told her audience at the Institute, preventative measures that could have made a difference at Sandy Hook. And they could still make a difference in schools all over the country.
Safe and Sound: A Sandy Hook Initiative encourages a three-pronged process of preparation for school communities. A team of community members and experts, with buy-in from first responders, should first come together to assess the measures, plans, programs, and procedures already in place, and to examine which work well and which require change and improvement.
School communities should then act, turning the information gathered and lessons learned in the assessment phase into a plan. Programs and procedures should be developed or refined; safety and security measures should be implemented, repaired, or changed.
Finally, school communities should audit, testing, checking and refining the measures, plans, programs, and procedures in place. This is, Sandy Hook Initiative organizers say, "an active phase which combines continual vigilance and awareness with formal and measured testing of the safety and security measures, plans, and procedures of your school."
It is easy, Gay told Institute attendees, to hold in your mind an emergency plan with one step, and one step only: I'll call 911.But the average response time to an emergency is five to six minutes.
A lot can happen in five minutes. A lot happened at Sandy Hook.
As for Gay and her family, there has been "an amazing feeling of being held up by the community" as they weather their loss.
They have worked to keep Josephine's memory alive – building, for instance, a playground in her honor in a struggling Connecticut community. And memories of her have kept them moving forward.
Gay ended her Institute keynote with the story of Josephine's last night. There was an orderly, ordinary family bedtime routine, but later that night – as she often did – Josephine called out for her mother.
That night, Josephine was unsettled, upset. Being nonverbal, she couldn't easily communicate what was wrong, so Gay gave her Motrin, walked her around the room, sang to her.
None of that calmed her down. She was soothed only by words – the words that now carry her mother through a world without Josephine.
"I told her, 'I'm really proud of you, I know how hard your life has been, and I really appreciate the fact that you never give up,'" Gay said. "'You show up every day with a big smile on your face, and everybody loves you for it. I promise you, even though I can't always figure out what you need or what you need to do, I promise you I won't give up.'"
She hasn't. She's still fighting for her youngest child, and for children she's never met in Georgia, and all over the United States.
As she closed her talk on Thursday, she challenged Georgia's education leaders to make the same promise.

2013 Mercedes-Benz GL Class Spy Shots
Nelson Ireson February 23, 2012 Comment Now!
Size does matter. Sometimes, anyway.
It definitely matters when you need to haul around six of your favorite people, and the Mercedes-Benz GL Class is one of the handful of ways to do it in luxury and style.
That style is soon to get an update, as our spy photographers have snapped these images of the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL Class in testing, wearing the least camouflage to date as it enters the final phase of testing before sales begin late this year. The latest images capture a pair of new GL Class SUVs in testing, each revealing more details about different parts of the vehicle.
The broadly-spaced two-bar grille and large area for the Mercedes emblem stand out at the front end, as do the more angular headlights. A similar LED strip for foglights/daytime running lights appears to be in about the same place as the current GL, while the lower front bumper/skid plate appears to have slightly larger openings on the spied vehicle.
At the rear, the exhaust inset in the lower portion of the bumper with parallelogram tips, but that may yet change for production. Like the headlights, the tail lights get a new shape, now extending further across the rear lift gate, which is itself re-shaped, with a more prominent roof spoiler at the top.
Based on the same underpinnings as the 2012 M Class, the new GL Class should also carry a similar engine lineup to its smaller sibling. This means a 302-horsepower 3.5-liter gasoline V-6 in the GL350, and a reworked 3.0-liter turbodiesel V-6 making 240 horsepower and 455 pound-feet in the new GL350 BlueTec.
For V-8 fans there should be a GL550 model powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.6-liter V-8 engine rated at 429 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. And yes, there'll even be a new GL63 AMG model, which like the ML63 AMG will come with a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V-8 engine rated at 518 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque.
A seven-speed automatic transmission should be fitted across the board.
We'll bring you the latest details and spy shots as we get them, so stay tuned to see what Mercedes has in the works for its full-size luxury SUV.

Home Crime and Punishment Reimagining Criminal Justice: Newly Paroled Killer Shoots Three Execution-Style in Chicago
Reimagining Criminal Justice: Newly Paroled Killer Shoots Three Execution-Style in Chicago [VIDEO]
John Boch
Screen capture by Boch via Twitter.
In the Land of Lincoln, prison sentences are mere suggestions. They're kinda like dog years, only in reverse. Take the case of Samuel Parsons-Salas, released on parole early for a double-fatal home invasion in 2009. Less than three months out of lockup, he shot four this past weekend, killing three execution-style in Mayor Lori Lightfoot's mostly peaceful city. The fourth victim is in critical condition.
Soft-on-crime prosecutors dropped not one, not two, but ten murder counts in that 2009 case in return for a plea bargain deal. In what may be the mother of all sweetheart plea deals, prosecutors dropped thirty felony charges in the case to get a mere eight years in prison for a guy who killed two in a deadly home invasion.
Screen capture by Boch via Illinois Department of Corrections.
Once released on parole just a day shy of four years, the Illinois Department of Corrections reports that Parsons-Salas — SURPRISE! — failed to check in with his parole officer. Now three more people are dead.
Here's video of the incident . . .
Sent in. Video of the triple homicide, 4 people shot at Central and School stemming from Vera Lounge this weekend. A cold blooded execution. #Chicago pic.twitter.com/Y9wJ2Anxsl
— 16th & 17th District Chicago Police Scanner (@CPD1617Scanner) December 13, 2022
CWB Chicago has the horrific story to go along with the horrific video . . .
Surveillance video captured the cold-blooded, execution-style murders of three people outside a Chicago bar over the weekend, and officials say the killer is a man who was paroled less than three months ago for a 2009 home invasion that left two people dead. He faced ten counts of murder in the home invasion case, but prosecutors dropped those charges in a plea deal.
The weekend shooting video, provided to CWBChicago by a source, shows a group arguing near Vera Lounge at the corner of Central Avenue and School Street around 2:30 a.m. Sunday.
A man is seen walking backward, pulling a gun, and shooting another man from close range. The victim drops to the ground…
On Tuesday night, Chicago police said Samuel Parsons-Salas, 32, is charged with three counts of first-degree murder, one count of attempted murder, and kidnapping. He is due in bond court on Wednesday.
The shooting left three people dead: a 24-year-old woman, a 26-year-old man, and a 59-year-old man, police said. Another 24-year-old woman remains hospitalized and gravely wounded.
And yet Chicago's "leaders" can't seem to grasp why the city has an intractable violent crime problem.
Hint: It's because of a lack of gun control laws, a number of which Mr. Parsons-Salas ignored if police suspicions are correct.

He a thug who should have been hanged for killing the first two victims.
MADDMAXX December 14, 2022 At 14:39
Not to mention the fucking THIRTY felony counts that were dropped that should have got him at LEAST life without the possibility of parole.
Defens December 14, 2022 At 15:27
I presume that a significant number of the felony charges dropped in the first prosecution were for firearms possession and use in the commission of a crime. They want those laws to lock up some 59 year old veteran who minds his own business and happens to own a mag with one too many rounds, but never seem to charge thugs on those laws.

so much for Universal background checks AND FOID cards…
"The bill I sign today delivers to Illinoisans everywhere the most COMPREHENSIVE reform to our state firearms laws in over a generation. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have come together to shape a law steeped in a COMMONSENSE commitment to safety," said Gov. JB Pritzker. "The state will now require universal background checks on all gun sales in Illinois. (Emphasis mine)

If they're willing to burn down the global economy, bankrupt yet unknown numbers of small and family businesses and retard your children's development by two or three years over a bad cold you'd think they'd hard-hearted enough to just execute scum like this for that same "greater good" they claimed was the impetus for all their lockdown destruction.

Debbie W. December 14, 2022 At 14:50
To ever release a land shark like him makes one wonder if it's a part of a sinister plan for Gun Control. After all for a time Gun Control zealots have been nasty nice and asking pretty please to hand over your guns. And with no results frustration set in prompting desperation to set the stage for purposely unchecked criminals to reek havoc and for giddy Gun Control zealots to label it, "Gun Violence." Never let a crisis go to waste…if you don't have a crisis make one.
Darkman December 14, 2022 At 15:07
Criminals like this Scumbag are necessary for Liberal Progressive Democrats to justify to their acolytes. Anti 2A Rights laws against law abiding citizens. Hence, Criminal Justice Reform that allows criminals to continue to prey on innocent citizens and in the case of Illinoistan. The SAFE T Act that is Criminal Justice Reform on steroids.

Hint: It's NOT because of a lack of gun control laws, a number of which Mr. Parsons-Salas ignored if police suspicions are correct.
If they saw the same video I saw the word "suspicion" in moot, I SAW a known "convicted" felon who is PROHIBITED from firearm possession USE a firearm to shoot four unarmed individuals and then with no respect for human life continue to execute three of them with shots to the head after they were obviously incapacitated and no longer a threat to him. Must be at least a dozen obvious felonies in play… This guy obviously enjoys killing and is a threat to anyone who crosses his path.
note he shot one person who was checking on another and the 4th who was hiding behind the van
frank speak December 16, 2022 At 20:57
how did this guy get a gun?….so much for their stupid laws…..
Gipper's Ghost December 14, 2022 At 15:47
And the gun control whores will add this to their list of mass shootings.
Yeah, ain't they speashull…
won't work. FBI says FOUR victims to qualify for that "prize". So the grabbers can't rightfully use that label.
No worries, thoug, they WILL try to use this toward their own end game goals.
when they do, lets make certain we throw this one back in their ugly faces. Still on parole, done hard time for murder, no way could he lawfully possess any firearm, yet we see he did. ,ALL those add on felonies were no deterrent. He got is guns and murdered again.
What odds will anyone give me that at least some of the four he shot had been somehow involved in the case that snt him up the river for far too short a time? Maybe one or more had testified against him, or been part of his earlier shooting event, or provuded infirmation identifying him as the shooter in that incident.
He seemed far too deliberate and prupose driven for this to be a chance encounter. Seems to me quite likely he expected to find THESE people in that area and went looking for them to settle up.
Too bad none of them were armed and skilled. Might have saved some of their lives as well as put paid to his career of hatred and murder. Now the taxpayers will be on the hook for a couple million.
the cwb coverage suggested that the family celebrating the girls birthday did not know him. he accompanied one of their guests.

She has a gun, she just has someone else carry it for her.
That is exactly how the anti-gunners do it. And the gun grabber, Rosie O'Donald, admitted to this exact fact many years ago.

Well folks, I have no concern over the SAFE-T act having seen this in action.
Ron December 14, 2022 At 22:04
Too all those who are anti death penalty I can assure you, once the liberals get rid of it, guess what's next?
Oh, now life imprisonment is cruel and unusual too. Then "excessive sentences" is cruel and unusual.
Complete bullshit. The founding fathers hung people. The 8th amendment was written for medieval style torture. There's nothing cruel and unusual about a short drop and a sudden stop.
"Unusual" would get the attention of those who clearly need it. As in Chiraq.
I feel like playing Devil's Advocate here.
"execution style", huh? I don't quite buy that characterization, based on just the video. Dead guy #1 was advancing on the shooter, and the advance didn't look especially friendly. Dead guy #2 was also advancing on the shooter. Dead guy #3? Obviously, what happened there isn't so clear. I can't tell if any of the three are armed, or what they might be armed with. Were guns or knives found on the scene?
The title suggests that the shooter went hunting for the victims, and shot the poor defenseless victims, who never had a chance at self defense.
Based solely on the video, I can give the jury a story of three thugs trying to corner the suspect to settle old grievances, and the shooter exercises his right to self defense. Depends on the lawyer how well that story goes over.
Shot two men, and two women, huh? Can't help asking, who was sleeping with whom.
Devils advocate is a stupid thing in this case.
shooter was in no physical danger as he was backing away and over 12 feet from anyone approaching him.
he then shot 2 people, walked over and shot a third who was tending one of his first victims in the head as she was not looking at him, shot the guy on the ground who was not threat and then got out of the vehicle and shot another and then shot again.
final kill shot or coup de gra is execution.
execution style", huh? I don't quite buy that characterization, based on just the video
Guess you missed the part where he casually strolled around and shot them ALL in head AFTER they were down… Looked like a fucking "execution" to me.
shooter exercises his right to self defense
You COULD argue self-defense, you could even argue to dismiss the other 6 felonies this asshole perpetrated but you can't argue self-defense against defenseless people, once they are down and incapacitated it's over, the KILL (head) shots were cold blooded, calculated murder and will hopefully put this clown back in prison for the rest of his life. A paroled felon in a bar, a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, paroled felon failed to show up for his FIRST meet and greet with his parole officer, four counts of assault with a deadly weapon, 4 counts of attempted murder and three counts of first-degree murder, one count of felony "fleeing" and one count of felony evasion… Probably at least two or three that I missed that a REAL prosecutor would stick in the affidavit, but Chiraq Prosecutor is a Soros man so he'll probably only charge with being late to his parole officer meeting and being out after curfew, this clown will be back on the street to deliver Christmas presents to the kids in the Hood…

No weapons except for the shooter . Exactly Zero rounds going the other way. Don't bother trying him in court just Find his Homies and shoot through him into them to send a message!

If they would have let him/it/they/she out earlier, like after a day, then this would never have happened! Damned right wing conspiracy crazies running around shooting people…oh wait….well back to our story about Green Energy!
maybe dummy dacky can explain how the universal background checks did not work ?
how this thug just ignored all the laws in play.
He surely had a FOID Card and a CC permit right?
Yeah, they issue them along with your personal property as you are being released from prison after doing time for killing people with a gun, along with a gift certificate for the handgun of your choice at any local gun dealer… Now if only there WAS a local gun dealer in Chiraq…
Wasn't "Thou shalt not kill" ….or Murder 1, Murder 2, Manslaughter, etc……in play????? Story must be inaccurate…..[Impossible for perp to have killed anyone. There is a law against that.
If you want to be safe in Chiraq then be in bed by 10 o'clock at night. And don't go out at night or during the day time, to stupid places, along with stupid people. As comedian Chris Rock once said, "If you're at an ATM machine, withdrawing money at 3am, you are just wrong". Or words to that effect.
Everything about this clearly meets the Stupid People/Places/Things/Time test – "Vera Lounge at the corner of Central Avenue and School Street around 2:30 a.m. Sunday"
Now it's just time to clean up the mess. A 1/2″ rope would be the correct method.
Not sure how Rock's statement ended, but it should have ended " you're a victim in waiting."

En astronomía, los damocloides son objetos planetoidales que siguen una órbita cometaria y pueden tener dos orígenes diferentes, la nube de  Hills o la nube de Oort.

Por un lado, algunos de ellos son núcleos de cometas muertos que han perdido su contenido en material volátil después de acercarse al Sol en repetidas ocasiones. Por otro lado, se sabe que otros damocloides son asteroides que hace unos cuatro mil millones de años fueron expulsados por la gravedad de los planetas gigantes hasta zonas más externas del sistema solar, terminando así en órbitas de tipo cometario. Solo se han identificado ochenta y ocho damocloides en el sistema solar, frente al más de medio millón de asteroides que han sido observados y catalogados.

Los damocloides son llamados así porque su arquetipo es el asteroide (5335) Damocles, un núcleo inactivo de cometa de período largo de la familia Halley con órbita muy excéntrica y periodo muy largo. El 26 de febrero de 2012 se descubrió el mayor de todos los asteroides damocloides, llamado , con un diámetro de 185 km, enorme comparado con el diámetro típico de estos cuerpos de sólo 8 km.

Body found in Comal County could be missing San Antonio woman, Crystal Garcia, police say
Man in custody in connection with the case
Published: September 23, 2021, 2:49 PM Updated: September 23, 2021, 10:14 PM
SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police said Thursday that a body found in Comal County on Wednesday could be that of Crystal Garcia, 32.
The body was found Wednesday night in a field along York Creek Road near Interstate 35 during a collaborated search between SAPD, New Braunfels police and the Comal County Sheriff's Office.
Police said Central Texas Autopsy is working to identify the remains, which could take several days.
Garcia, who is a mother of four, has been missing since Sept. 17. Garcia's mother called the police for a welfare check on Saturday when she didn't come to pick up her twin daughters.
Police found the lights on in Garcia's apartment on Wurzbach Road and her car in the parking lot.
Investigators found blood on a bedroom wall and evidence of blood throughout the apartment that had been cleaned up. A security camera that had been in the kitchen was missing but a camera from the apartment complex showed a man entering her apartment and then later leaving with a heavy-duty garbage bag, according to an affidavit.
On Sunday, a family member of Francisco Javier Garcia Ventura called police to say Ventura had "confessed to them that he beat his girlfriend to the point that she stopped breathing" and said Ventura had taken her body to San Marcos.

Police took Garcia Ventura into custody on Sunday moments before he was to board a bus headed to Mexico City, according to an arrest affidavit.
The arrest affidavit states that Garcia Ventura is Garcia's boyfriend, but Garcia's family disputed that.
"Maybe they did talk at one point, but I think she just didn't want anything to do with him," Garcia's cousin, Luis Reta said.
As of Wednesday, Garcia Ventura remained in jail on a $200,000 bond on a charge of tampering with evidence.
The Comal County Sheriff's Office initially started investigating the case but turned it over to the San Antonio police after determining the woman was killed here.

Q: How should I make function curry? In C++14, what is a good way to curry functions or function objects?
In particular, I have an overloaded function foo with some random number of overloads: some overloads may be found via ADL, others may be defined in a myriad of places.
I have a helper object:
static struct {
  template<class...Args>
  auto operator()(Args&&...args)const
  -> decltype(foo(std::forward<Args>(args)...))
    { return (foo(std::forward<Args>(args)...));}
} call_foo;

that lets me pass the overload set around as a single object.
If I wanted to curry foo, how should I do so?
As curry and partial function application are often used interchangeably, by curry I mean if foo(a,b,c,d) is a valid call, then curry(call_foo)(a)(b)(c)(d) must be a valid call.

A: Here's my attempt using eager semantics, i.e., returning as soon as enough arguments are accumulated for a valid call to the original function (Demo at Coliru):
namespace detail {
template <unsigned I>
struct priority_tag : priority_tag<I-1> {};
template <> struct priority_tag<0> {};

// High priority overload.
// If f is callable with zero args, return f()
template <typename F>
auto curry(F&& f, priority_tag<1>) -> decltype(std::forward<F>(f)()) {
    return std::forward<F>(f)();
}

// Low priority overload.
// Return a partial application
template <typename F>
auto curry(F f, priority_tag<0>) {
    return [f](auto&& t) {
        return curry([f,t=std::forward<decltype(t)>(t)](auto&&...args) ->
          decltype(f(t, std::forward<decltype(args)>(args)...)) {
            return f(t, std::forward<decltype(args)>(args)...);
        }, priority_tag<1>{});
    };
}
} // namespace detail

// Dispatch to the implementation overload set in namespace detail.
template <typename F>
auto curry(F&& f) {
    return detail::curry(std::forward<F>(f), detail::priority_tag<1>{});
}

and an alternate implementation without eager semantics that requires an extra () to invoke the partial application making it possible to access e.g. both f(int) and f(int, int) from the same overload set:
template <typename F>
class partial_application {
    F f_;
public:
    template <typename T>
    explicit partial_application(T&& f) :
        f_(std::forward<T>(f)) {}

    auto operator()() { return f_(); }

    template <typename T>
    auto operator()(T&&);
};

template <typename F>
auto curry_explicit(F&& f) {
    return partial_application<F>{std::forward<F>(f)};
}

template <typename F>
template <typename T>
auto partial_application<F>::operator()(T&& t) {
    return curry_explicit([f=f_,t=std::forward<T>(t)](auto&&...args) ->
      decltype(f_(t, std::forward<decltype(args)>(args)...)) {
        return f(t, std::forward<decltype(args)>(args)...);
    });
}

A: This isn't a trivial problem. Getting ownership semantics right is tricky. For comparison, let's consider a few lambdas and how they express ownership:
[=]() {}         // capture by value, can't modify values of captures
[=]() mutable {} // capture by value, can modify values of captures

[&]() {}     // capture by reference, can modify values of captures

[a, &b, c = std::move(foo)]() {} // mixture of value and reference, move-only if foo is
                                 // can't modify value of a or c, but can b

My implementation by default captures by value, captures by reference when passed a std::reference_wrapper<> (same behavior as std::make_tuple() with std::ref()), and forwards the invoking arguments as is (lvalues remain lvalues, rvalues remain rvalues). I couldn't decide on a satisfactory solution for mutable, so all value captures are effectively const.
Capture of a move-only type makes the functor move-only. This in turn means if c is a curry_t and d is a move-only type, and c(std::move(d)) doesn't invoke the captured functor, then binding c(std::move(d)) to a lvalue means subsequent calls either have to contain enough arguments to invoke the captured functor, or the lvalue must be converted to an rvalue (possibly via std::move()). This took some care with reference qualifiers. Keep in mind that *this is always an lvalue, so the ref-qualifiers had to be applied to operator().
There's no way to know how many arguments the captured functor needs as there can be any number of overloads, so be careful. No static_asserts that sizeof...(Captures) < max(N_ARGS).
Overall, the implementation takes about 70 lines of code. As discussed in the comments, I followed the convention of curry(foo)(a, b, c, d) and foo(a, b, c, d) being (roughly) equivalent, allowing access to every overload.

Live demo on Coliru demonstrating reference qualifier semantics.

A: Here is my current best attempt.
#include <iostream>
#include <utility>
#include <memory>

SFINAE utility helper class:
template<class T>struct voider{using type=void;};
template<class T>using void_t=typename voider<T>::type;

A traits class that tells you if Sig is a valid invokation -- ie, if std::result_of<Sig>::type is defined behavior.  In some C++ implementations simply checking std::result_of is enough, but that isn't required by the standard:
template<class Sig,class=void>
struct is_invokable:std::false_type {};
template<class F, class... Ts>
struct is_invokable<
  F(Ts...),
  void_t<decltype(std::declval<F>()(std::declval<Ts>()...))>
>:std::true_type {
  using type=decltype(std::declval<F>()(std::declval<Ts>()...));
};
template<class Sig>
using invoke_result=typename is_invokable<Sig>::type;
template<class T> using type=T;

Curry helper is sort of a manual lambda.  It captures a function and one argument. It isn't written as a lambda so we can enable proper rvalue forwarding when it is used in an rvalue context, which is important when currying:
template<class F, class T>
struct curry_helper {
  F f;
  T t;
  template<class...Args>
  invoke_result< type<F const&>(T const&, Args...) >
  operator()(Args&&...args)const&
  {
    return f(t, std::forward<Args>(args)...);
  }
  template<class...Args>
  invoke_result< type<F&>(T const&, Args...) >
  operator()(Args&&...args)&
  {
    return f(t, std::forward<Args>(args)...);
  }
  template<class...Args>
  invoke_result< type<F>(T const&, Args...) >
  operator()(Args&&...args)&&
  {
    return std::move(f)(std::move(t), std::forward<Args>(args)...);
  }
};

The meat and potatoes:
template<class F>
struct curry_t {
  F f;
  template<class Arg>
  using next_curry=curry_t< curry_helper<F, std::decay_t<Arg> >;
  // the non-terminating cases.  When the signature passed does not evaluate
  // we simply store the value in a curry_helper, and curry the result:
  template<class Arg,class=std::enable_if_t<!is_invokable<type<F const&>(Arg)>::value>>
  auto operator()(Arg&& arg)const&
  {
    return next_curry<Arg>{{ f, std::forward<Arg>(arg) }};
  }
  template<class Arg,class=std::enable_if_t<!is_invokable<type<F&>(Arg)>::value>>
  auto operator()(Arg&& arg)&
  {
    return next_curry<Arg>{{ f, std::forward<Arg>(arg) }};
  }
  template<class Arg,class=std::enable_if_t<!is_invokable<F(Arg)>::value>>
  auto operator()(Arg&& arg)&&
  {
    return next_curry<Arg>{{ std::move(f), std::forward<Arg>(arg) }};
  }
  // These are helper functions that make curry(blah)(a,b,c) somewhat of a shortcut for curry(blah)(a)(b)(c)
  // *if* the latter is valid, *and* it isn't just directly invoked.  Not quite, because this can *jump over*
  // terminating cases...
  template<class Arg,class...Args,class=std::enable_if_t<!is_invokable<type<F const&>(Arg,Args...)>::value>>
  auto operator()(Arg&& arg,Args&&...args)const&
  {
    return next_curry<Arg>{{ f, std::forward<Arg>(arg) }}(std::forward<Args>(args)...);
  }
  template<class Arg,class...Args,class=std::enable_if_t<!is_invokable<type<F&>(Arg,Args...)>::value>>
  auto operator()(Arg&& arg,Args&&...args)&
  {
    return next_curry<Arg>{{ f, std::forward<Arg>(arg) }}(std::forward<Args>(args)...);
  }
  template<class Arg,class...Args,class=std::enable_if_t<!is_invokable<F(Arg,Args...)>::value>>
  auto operator()(Arg&& arg,Args&&...args)&&
  {
    return next_curry<Arg>{{ std::move(f), std::forward<Arg>(arg) }}(std::forward<Args>(args)...);
  }

  // The terminating cases.  If we run into a case where the arguments would evaluate, this calls the underlying curried function:
  template<class... Args,class=std::enable_if_t<is_invokable<type<F const&>(Args...)>::value>>
  auto operator()(Args&&... args,...)const&
  {
    return f(std::forward<Args>(args)...);
  }
  template<class... Args,class=std::enable_if_t<is_invokable<type<F&>(Args...)>::value>>
  auto operator()(Args&&... args,...)&
  {
    return f(std::forward<Args>(args)...);
  }
  template<class... Args,class=std::enable_if_t<is_invokable<F(Args...)>::value>>
  auto operator()(Args&&... args,...)&&
  {
    return std::move(f)(std::forward<Args>(args)...);
  }
};

template<class F>
curry_t<typename std::decay<F>::type> curry( F&& f ) { return {std::forward<F>(f)}; }

The final function is humorously short.
Note that no type erasure is done.  Also note that the theoretical hand-crafted solution can have far fewer moves, but I don't think I needlessly copy anywhere.
Here is a test function object:
static struct {
  double operator()(double x, int y, std::nullptr_t, std::nullptr_t)const{std::cout << "first\n"; return x*y;}
  char operator()(char c, int x)const{std::cout << "second\n"; return c+x;}
  void operator()(char const*s)const{std::cout << "hello " << s << "\n";}
} foo;

And some test code to see how it works:
int main() {
  auto f = curry(foo);
  // testing the ability to "jump over" the second overload:
  std::cout << f(3.14,10,std::nullptr_t{})(std::nullptr_t{}) << "\n";
  // Call the 3rd overload:
  f("world");
  // call the 2nd overload:
  auto x =  f('a',2);
  std::cout << x << "\n";
  // again:
  x =  f('a')(2);
}

live example
The resulting code is more than a bit of a mess.  Lots of methods had to be repeated 3 times to handle &, const& and && cases optimally.  The SFINAE clauses are long and complex.  I ended up using both variardic args and varargs, with the varargs there to ensure a non-important signature difference in the method (and lower priority I think, not that it matters, the SFINAE ensures only one overload is ever valid, except this qualifiers).
The result of curry(call_foo) is an object that can be called one argument at a time, or many arguments at a time.  You can call it with 3 arguments, then 1, then 1, then 2, and it does mostly the right thing.  No evidence is exposed telling you how many arguments it wants, other than just trying to feed it arguments and seeing if the call is valid.  This is required to handle overloading cases.
A quirk of the multiple-argument case is that it won't partially pass the packet to one curry, and use the rest as arguments to the return value.  I could change that relatively easily by changing:
    return curry_t< curry_helper<F, std::decay_t<Arg> >>{{ f, std::forward<Arg>(arg) }}(std::forward<Args>(args)...);

to
    return (*this)(std::forward<Arg>(arg))(std::forward<Args>(args)...);

and the other two similar ones.  That would prevent the technique of "jumping over" an overload that would otherwise be valid.  Thoughts?  It would mean that curry(foo)(a,b,c) would be logically identical to curry(foo)(a)(b)(c) which seems elegant.
Thanks to @Casey whose answer inspired much of this.

Most recent revision.  It makes (a,b,c) behave much like (a)(b)(c) unless it is call that works directly.

A: Here is code i have been playing with while learning variadic templates.
It is toy example for ATD for function pointers, and ATD on std::function.
I have made example on lambdas, but havent find way to extract aruments, so no ATD for lamnda (yet)
#include <iostream>
#include <tuple>
#include <type_traits>
#include <functional>
#include <algorithm>

//this is helper class for calling (variadic) func from std::tuple
