Peruta v. San Diego, 824 F.3d 919 (9th Cir. 2016), was a decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit pertaining to the legality of San Diego County's restrictive policy regarding requiring documentation of "good cause" that "distinguish[es] the applicant from the mainstream and places the applicant in harm's way" (Cal. Pen. Code §§ 26150, 26155) before issuing a concealed carry permit.

After an initial ruling (2-1) in 2014 that held that the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution protected the right to carry a concealed weapon, the court reheard the case en banc, ultimately reversing the lower court ruling, saying that "there is no Second Amendment right for members of the general public to carry concealed firearms in public."  While the ruling technically applied to all states and territories under the jurisdiction of the Ninth Circuit, it only applied to California and Hawaii in practice because the remaining states in the Ninth Circuit's area of responsibility have either Shall-Issue licensing policies or allow concealed carry without a permit.

The case was appealed to the United States Supreme Court, which in June 2017 denied the writ of certiorari, leaving the Ninth Circuit's en banc opinion in place. On June 23, 2022, the Supreme Court ruled in NYSPRA v. Bruen that the "good cause" requirement was unconstitutional.

Reasoning
The court reviewed the history of gun control cases in which laws forbidding the concealed carry of weapons were involved. They covered a time period from 1299 (in England) to the late 1800s US Supreme Court. The majority opinion was that there was an "overwhelming consensus" of historical case decisions establishing that there was never a time in history when courts believed that states could not prohibit concealed carry. Consequently, they concluded it could not be a violation of the long-standing interpretation of the Second Amendment.

The minority argued that a prohibition on concealed carry for the general public, accompanied by a similar prohibition on open carry, was a de facto gun ban, and therefore is unconstitutional under District of Columbia v. Heller.

Details
Under San Diego's policy, a typical citizen in San Diego County cannot bear arms in public for self-defense because by San Diego's definition, typical citizens cannot distinguish [themselves] from the mainstream and receive concealed carry permits(Peruta v. San Diego (9th Cir, 02-13-14) p. 54.). Although prior to January 1, 2012, it was legal to openly carry an unloaded handgun in public, in October 2011 Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill that modifies the law on openly carrying an unloaded firearm to match the restrictions for openly carrying a loaded weapon, effectively prohibiting (in all but limited circumstances) the open carry of firearms whether loaded or unloaded. (Cal. Pen. Code §§ 25850, 26155.) Thus, the court found San Diego County's restrictive policy in combination with California's denial of open carry ultimately resulted in the destruction of the typical law-abiding, responsible citizen's right to bear arms in any manner in public, thereby violating the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution.

History
The February 13, 2014 decision is written by Diarmuid O'Scannlain, with Consuelo María Callahan joining and Sidney Runyan Thomas dissenting, and affirmed the right of responsible, law-abiding citizens to carry a handgun in public for lawful self-defense. The primary plaintiff, Edward Peruta, was represented by attorneys Paul Neuharth, Jr. from San Diego and Chuck Michel from Long Beach.

On February 27, 2014 California Attorney General Kamala Harris filed a petition for en banc review of the decision. As the state was not a formal party of the case, her action is not an appeal, but merely a request that the full court re-hear the case en-banc on its own initiative (sua sponte). The court denied Harris's  petition on November 12, 2014.

On December 3, 2014, the Ninth Circuit announced that a judge on the circuit made a sua sponte call for a vote on whether the case should be reheard en banc. The court gave the parties, and any Amici curiae, 21 days to file briefs setting forth their positions whether the case should be reheard en banc.

On March 26, 2015, the Ninth Circuit announced that they would hear the case, along with Richards v. Prieto, en banc, including setting aside the original rulings in the cases and stating that they were not to be used as case law. The cases were argued on June 16, 2015.

On June 9, 2016, the en banc court reversed the lower court ruling, saying that "there is no Second Amendment right for members of the general public to carry concealed firearms in public." The en banc ruling did not address the constitutionality of restrictions on open carry, leaving that matter open to potential future litigation.

On June 23, 2016, the plaintiff-appellants petitioned the Ninth Circuit for a full-court re-hearing. On August 15, 2016, the Ninth Circuit denied the petition for a full-court en banc rehearing.

On January 12, 2017 the plaintiffs filed a petition for a writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court.

On June 26, 2017 the Supreme Court denied the writ, with Justice Thomas, joined by Justice Gorsuch, dissenting:We should have granted certiorari in this case. The approach taken by the en banc court is indefensible, and the petition raises important questions that this Court should address. I see no reason to await another case. ... [T]he Second Amendment's core purpose further supports this conclusion that the right to bear arms extends to public carry.  The Court in Heller emphasized that "self-defense" is "the central component of the [Second Amendment] right itself." ... The Court's decision to deny certiorari in this case reflects a distressing trend: the treatment of the Second Amendment as a disfavored right. ... I do not think we should stand by idly while a State denies its citizens that right, particularly when their very lives may depend on it. I respectfully dissent.

Reactions
The San Diego County Sheriff's Department issued a press release on February 21, 2014 stating it will not seek review of the decision by the entire membership of judges sitting in the Ninth Circuit, and that, "Should the decision of the Ninth Circuit become final, the Sheriff's Department will begin to issue CCW's in situations where the applicant has met all other lawful qualifications and has requested a CCW for purposes of self-defense."

As a result of the court's original decision in 2014, the Orange County Sheriff's Department has loosened requirements for obtaining a concealed carry permit. Instead of requiring the applicant to have "good cause," the applicant need only to assert that a permit is needed for self-defense or personal safety.

Related cases

Scocca v. Smith
Scocca v. Smith – In 2008, Tom Scocca, a former law enforcement officer, applied for a concealed-carry permit from Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith, and was denied because he could not show "good cause." Scocca sued Smith, and the case was put on hold pending decisions in San Diego and Yolo County cases, and has since been dismissed.

Richards v. Prieto
In addition to Peruta, the same judges heard the Richards v. Prieto case at the same time, which challenged the handgun carry license policy of Yolo County Sheriff Ed Prieto.  The case originally was entitled Sykes v. McGinness and included Sacramento County's then-sheriff, John McGinness, as a defendant. Sacramento County changed its licensing policy during the lawsuit, and the complaint against McGinness was dismissed.

After ruling on Peruta, the Ninth Circuit judges unanimously ruled in Richards:
In light of our holding in [Peruta] we conclude that the district court in this case erred in ruling Richard[s'] motion for summary judgment because the Yolo County policy impermissibly infringes on the Second Amendment right to bear arms in lawful self-defense.

Baker v. Kealoha
In addition to Peruta, the same judges heard the Baker v. Kealoha case at the same time, which challenged the handgun carry law in Hawaii.  After ruling on Peruta, the Ninth Circuit judges in a 2-1 vote ruled in Baker:
In light of our disposition of the same issue in [Peruta] we conclude that the district court made an error of law when it concluded the Hawaii statutes at issue did not implicate protected conduct.

just a thought. i mean, not everyone is going to beltane. i'm not due to lack of funds currently. but maybe we could have another bonfire/campout again sometime soon. maybe this time noone will barf in runner's tent. maybe this time we figure out what ppl are bringing food wise. i'm only suggesting it. i have no clue on a place, but maybe someone will. we shouldnt have it at Grimm's again, cuz that would make it look like his place will be our only place to do it and his family wouldnt greatly appreciate always having to worry about it.
and another reason for suggesting it, the one in november at Grimm's was pretty awesome.
I can't really see us having one soon but I think it would be cool if we did something two to three weeks from now. We could go to an actuall camp ground or something, I dunno.
if money comes in then we could do it like at the end of may or start of june.

By "core" this means the bare-bones functionality, such as being able to set and retrieve data on DNS queries. This also includes a mock resolver, whose intention is to ensure that resolver methods are called into when expected.
* Recurring asynchronous queries, query sets, NAPTR, SRV, and TLSA are not covered by these tests. These are higher-level APIs on top of the DNS core and will be covered in separate test files.
* Nominal asynchronous DNS cancellation is tested here, but off-nominal is not. Off-nominal asynchronous cancellation falls into two basic categories: canceling when there is no query in flight and canceling after a query has completed. You can't test canceling when there is no query in flight because putting the query in flight is what gives you the query object that you would attempt to cancel in the first place. Testing canceling after the query has completed does not test the DNS core as much as it does a specific resolver implementation. Since the resolver implementation is in charge of threading, the core does not try to make any determination of whether it makes sense to be canceling a query or not.

After three-and-a-half years of covering UCLA, I will be switching to the Rams beat for the Los Angeles News Group. Thanks to everyone who ever read a blog post, shared an article, or responded to a tweet. It's been a fun run for me, and I hope it has been for most of you as well. If you ever see me out and about, please don't hesitate to say hello.
Replacing me starting today is Thuc Nhi Nguyen, who most recently covered the L.A. Galaxy for us as well as preps. She is, unlike many journalists, very good at math. You may remember her project on Josh Rosen two summers ago, which explored the various factors behind his success as St. John Bosco's quarterback. Clay Fowler, who has written features on everything from Super Bowl I to how Lonzo Ball deals with his growing celebrity, will cover UCLA basketball.
» How Jim Mora handled the death of receiver Nick Pasquale. From the way he embraced the Pasquale family, to the anger he directed at a camera operator's press conference interruption — it all struck the right note of compassion and authenticity. Mora tends to wear his emotions on his sleeve, for better or worse. This was an example of the former.
» Myles Jack's breakout game as a running back, in which he churned out 120 yards on six carries and stunned just about everyone at Arizona Stadium. Never before or since have I talked to players left as starstruck by a teammate.
» Watching the UCLA baseball team win its first national title in 2013, sweeping through the College World Series despite only finishing third in the Pac-12. After the final out and the celebratory dogpile, I stood on the field in Omaha and saw then-assistant coach T.J. Bruce celebrating with his family, tossing his two-year-old daughter into the air.
I asked what he had planned for the next day. "Recruiting," he said.
If you've read this far, thanks again.
For the first time since 1999, the UCLA women's basketball team is heading to the Sweet 16.
The third-seeded Bruins earned themselves a spot on Monday night, holding off a resilient South Florida team for a 72-67 win at Pauley Pavilion. UCLA never trailed, but saw a 16-point lead dwindle to as little as one.
They will take the court again on March 26 against No. 2-seeded Texas.
"This is a huge next step for our program," said Cori Close, the Bruins' fifth-year coach.
USF senior Courtney Williams, the nation's 10th-leading scorer, led the game with 29 points — but did so by taking 32 shots. She missed her first eight shots of the night, pestered by defense from UCLA's Nirra Fields, as well as forward Monique Billings.
Sophomore point guard Jordin Canada kept UCLA ahead late, shaking off a 1-for-11 start to score 17 points in the final quarter. She sank six free throws in the final 25 seconds.
The Bruins are one of four Pac-12 teams to make the Sweet 16, joining Oregon State, Stanford and Washington.


Spy organizations have a long history of utilizing open outlets to convey secret messages, for example, station numbers or mysterious arranged advertisements. Presently, be that as it may, they've adjusted to the web period.
Both the New York Times and the Intercept have discovered that the NSA utilized Twitter to send "about twelve" coded messages to a Russian contact guaranteeing to have office information stolen by the Shadow Intermediaries.
It's obscure how basic this training is, both on other informal communities and from different offices. This gives intelligence agencies a chance to arrange stealthy interchanges with little exertion, and no chance of knowing the real meaning of the message.
The NSA paid about $100,000 to the Russian with expectations of recuperating a Shadow Broker's information, yet removed the arrangement when he rather displayed data guaranteeing to connect President Trump and partners to Russia. Just some of that data was unquestionable, and the NSA was apparently concerned this could be a piece of a Russian government crusade to sow confusion in the American organization.

MTA Sends Out Inspectors After Softball-Size Piece of Debris Falls On CBS2 News Truck In Queens
Filed Under:Alice Gainer, falling debris, Local TV, Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Queens
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Look out for flying concrete!
A chunk fell from a subway overpass and onto a truck on Wednesday in Queens.
And as CBS2's Alice Gainer reported, it may not have been the first time.
On Astoria Boulevard and 31st Street, the elevated subway is under construction. While there is wood underneath a lot of the track area, there are some open gaps.
CBS2 photographer Ken Gordon was on his way to an assignment when he said a chunk of debris hit his truck.
This piece of concrete fell on a CBS2 News truck on July 3, 2019, in Astoria, Queens. (Photo: CBSN New York)
"[I was] stopped at a red light on 31st Street at Astoria Boulevard and I hear banging. They're working on the 'L' over in that area," Gordon said. "Then I hear what sounds like sand or maybe pebbles or something falling on the truck, followed shortly thereafter by a big thunk. When the light changed, I pulled over and got out and there was a piece of concrete with some wire coming out of it, a little bit bigger than a softball, but smaller than a basketball.
"There is a ding in the satellite dish oh, I don't know, a half of an inch to an inch," he added.
MORE: MTA Announces Plans To Install Netting To Catch Falling Debris On The No. 7 Line In Woodside, Queens
The repair manager at a Gulf station on the corner showed Gainer pictures of his car parked on the street three weeks ago.
"That's rocks. These are rocks from pieces of the concrete," the manager said, adding when asked if there was any damage, "Little scratches here and there."
After CBS2 called the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the agency sent out inspectors.
When asked what problems have led to the falling debris, an MTA representative said more than once, "All inquiries have to go through our press office."
The concrete fell on CBS2's truck near the crosswalk, which means it could've hit someone walking.
The MTA said the piece of concrete that fell happened as a result of an error by a contractor who cut a platform edge. The agency said the investigation is continuing and if found responsible it'll hold the contractor accountable.
Additionally, CBS2 was told the contractor has been directed to conduct a "safety stand down" with all personnel Friday. Platform edge work will not continue until the full investigation is complete.

The name – Ontimeshow – has its origins in the Chinese idiom from Mencius 天时地利人和 – when timing, geographical and social context are favourable – or in Mencius' time, a good time to go to war! Nowhere is this more true in the business context than in China, but it isn't without its challenges. A vast and complex territory whose burgeoning fashion industry, though in its relative infancy, has already become a prime strategic focus for emerging and established brands alike.

Transcript of Learning Voice Over as a Whole
Julie-Ann Dean: Welcome to Voiceover Experts brought to you by Voices.com, the number one voiceover marketplace. Voiceover Experts brings you tips, pearls of wisdom and techniques from top instructors, authors and performers in the field of voiceover. Join us each week to discover tricks of the trade that will help you to develop your craft and prosper as a career voiceover talent. It's never been easier to learn, perform, and succeed from the privacy of your own home and your own pace. This is truly an education you won't find anywhere else.
This week Voices.com is pleased to present Bettye Zoller.
Bettye Zoller: Today I'm speaking my mind in this Voices.com podcast. Once again today, I received an e-mail form a person who wanted to know about studying with me or when my next seminar in a certain city would be and he began his e-mail by saying, "I'm interested in doing movie trailers and movie promos and I want to get in to voiceover training in that area." I answered, "One does not get into voiceovers by studying movie trailers and movie promo techniques." Movie trailers and movie promos come form mostly Hollywood. They often are given as political or social favors to friends.
I often get e-mails that say, "I want to do cartoons and video games and can you train me for that?" and I answered, "No, I do train people for that but I won't train you exclusively for that because I would be doing you a disservice while is it true that video games are fun to voice, it may not be the highest pay in the world but they're fun and while it is true that cartoon are also fund although most of them come from certain cities. I certainly do give a seminar called, "Character in cartoon voices," and I'm hoping you can attend one sometime but it would be unfair of me to say that I could train you and you would probably get a character in cartoon work right way because that probably isn't going to be the case."
What people need when they are starting out in voiceovers is not to isolate want they want to do. Don't say, "I want to do movie trailers, I want to do promos, I want to voice cartoons, I want to be a video game voice." That's pointless. You want to get in to this voiceover job field. That encompasses many things. It encompasses corporate training scripts that are very dry and boring, e-learning, flash presentations and guess what? There's a lot of that work out there. You maybe bored but you'll get paid.
Think about commercials for your local market. Don't think about doing national commercials right off the bat. I hope you do and some of my students have. Stop limiting yourself. If you get in to voiceovers and you actually get hired, your producers will choice you and they will tell you what you're going to do. You may never voice a video game, you may never voice a movie trailer or promo but I hope you work. I hope you do voiceovers of many kinds and that should be your goal and you want the voiceovers that pay you money, plain and simple. This is Bettye Zoller.

Bettye is spot on. You might think you're ideal for documentaries or TV commercials, but that's YOU making the judgment. Let your clients do the choosing, whilst you get down to marketing that great demo of yours.
Carl Eggerson January 17, 2008 at 1:45 pm
Great insight! Although it would be a dream come true to be a cartoon character, putting my voice in a box would only limit me to ye olde Hollywood stereotype of the actor wannabee. I learned long ago to just be what is required… IF I wish to eat. lol.
Brian Barnes January 15, 2009 at 4:46 pm
Thanks for the great, great advice. I know almost nothing about this industry, and am just beginning to study the art of voice acting/voice over. I do have 30 years in the music biz as a vocalist/instrumentalist/teacher, and so I know the high value of a good reality check. I tell my own students to study, practice, get experience wherever possible, and be patient. Trying now to follow my own advice in a new career!

Higher Degree Theses
Poverty, women and development: Evaluating women's perspectives and experiences of participation in World Vision area development programmes in rural Bangladesh
Limmer, Nicole Diane
Limmer, N. D. (2006). Poverty, Women and Development: Evaluating Women's Perspectives and Experiences of Participation in World Vision Area Development Programmes in rural Bangladesh (Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)). The University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand. Retrieved from https://hdl.handle.net/10289/12676
The study aimed to evaluate the impact on women of development initiatives by World Vision (WV), one of the world's largest development-focused Non Government Organisations (NGOs). Evidence of the impact on poverty through development initiatives is weak because many agencies have not monitored the impact of their interventions. This study evolved out of the need to evaluate individual programmes to understand and assess their impact on communities and their impact on some of the most marginalised members of communities, women. Gender inequity is endemic amongst the world's poorest people; the majority of whom are women and girls. This research provides the link between organisational ethos, theory and praxis and evaluates the impact of development from within the programme through the perspectives and experiences of participating women.
Development initiatives evaluated were New Zealand funded programmes known as Area Development Programmes (ADPs). The ADP is a new development initiative originating within World Vision New Zealand (WVNZ) and applied globally. An ADP is a long term initiative (approximately 17 years) based on principles of empowerment, participation and partnership to facilitate transformative sustainable community based development. Community based initiatives are aimed at addressing the physical needs of community members and at supporting their increased access to health care, basic education, income generation and small business development. Human rights issues are addressed to promote social justice and the transformation of unjust systems and structures within communities. This empowerment based model of development is in contrast to WVs previous Community Development Projects (CDPs). CDPs were characterised by external control by WV staff and reflected a relief based welfare approach to development. No previous external evaluation of these ADPs had been conducted.
A qualitative evaluation paradigm was chosen to explain the complex interrelationship between process, impact and change. Key questions this study answered were whether: WV addressed the needs of the poor, WV ethos and theory met with praxis, and women's lives were empowered and transformed. Background knowledge on WV s organisational ethos and their new development model was sought through archival data gathering and individual interviews with WV staff in Auckland, Dhaka and ADP communities in Bangladesh. I conducted a programme evaluation in three ADP communities enabling me to compare the impact of the programme on participating women in different regions.
Two site visits were made to Bangladesh, the first to conduct a pilot study in which the research focus and methods were refined, and the second to gather data to evaluate the process and impact of participation in the programme for women. All the operational arms of the wider ADP programme were observed and semi formal discussions were had with other participating groups. This enabled me to gain an overview of the wider programme and to contextualise the smaller group processes. Bangladeshi ADPs involved Child Sponsorships, Women's Development Groups (WDGs), Men's development Groups (MDGs), New Mothers Groups, Adolescent Girls and Boys Groups and Nutrition Groups.
Semi-structured community group interviews were conducted with members of the WDGs. WDGs are an important aspect of the broader ADP programme. Women were asked open-ended questions about the process of their involvement in the development programme and about their perspectives and experiences of personal, family and community change. Qualitative methods enabled an in-depth analysis into the social and psychological changes taking place for women.
Results showed that participation in a WDG had a significantly positive impact on the lives of women. Participation in a WDG began a process of coming out, gaining voice, increased social cohesion and expanded opportunities. Women reported that their sense of isolation and powerlessness reduced and that WDG participation introduced or increased a sense of hope, caring and friendship. Knowledge was increased and skills were developed through the group education programmes. WDG members also participated in microfinance: Group saving schemes, revolving loan schemes and small business development (managed and operated by women) were a much valued aspect of the programme. Women reported that their ability to increase family income improved quality of life and family relationships (particularly amongst men).
Participating women had a strong sense of community ownership and competence enhancement. Participation in a WDG introduced change into the physical, material, economic, psychological and social domains of women's lives. Synergy between ADP community members, WV programme staff, local NGOs, Government initiatives, the wider national community and the international sponsors were all important aspect of programme success. Overall, the ADP model provided a holistic, broad based approach to tackling poverty. WV succeeded in providing a development programme which began a process of empowerment and transformation for marginalised women within their rural communities. Women's hopes and dreams were being realised. Women's voices were being heard.
A significant finding was that women's experiences of poverty and development were similar in all ADP regions. Prior research indicates that although people's backgrounds are diverse, the psychological and social impacts of poverty are similar for the poor across national boundaries. My findings show that women's experiences of poverty and development were similar within national boundaries; therefore, further research must explore the impact of empowering development models applied across national boundaries.
Addressing the physical, material and economic aspects of poverty through empowering models of development is necessary; equally important is the need to address the psychological and social impacts of poverty. Unjust structures and systems must be addressed through the introduction of human rights and social justice education within oppressed communities and people groups. The application of socially just and rights based practices is necessary in order to introduce and maintain empowering, just, structural Global change within nations and across borders.

The French disconnection: how to say no to unpaid work
By Jenna Price
January 2, 2017 — 9.05pm
In all the decades I have worked, I have never once used the "out-of-office" notification for my emails. I'm not sure whether that's because in my first career, as a full-time journalist, we were always encouraged to be available. But in France, as of January 1 this year, that is all about to change. Employees will be able to say no to out-of-office tech checks as French companies will be forced to guarantee their employees have a "right to disconnect" from technology.
In retrospect, I don't think permanent connection to our jobs as journalists was just for the convenience of our bosses – although I'm absolutely sure they loved calling me in the maternity hospital just hours after my first-born arrived. It was also because you never knew when those who had stories to tell might want to tell those stories. And it's true that many of those who have contacted me over the years have used a late-night email to unload. Could it have waited until the morning? Perhaps. But sometimes a late night chat is when you are most relaxed.
When it comes to social media, Generation X can't look away.
But as an academic, I have no excuse to keep looking at my emails (although I am often persuaded by the intensity of 18-year-olds for whom every feeling of inadequacy is both critical and crucial – I have to explain that while they are sentient they will feel like this about everything). I answer emails at all hours of the day and night because I can't bear the pile on my return. I have, today, 241 unopened emails – but most of those can wait. It's the 12 I opened on Christmas Eve eve, the last working day for lots of Australians, which made me wonder about what some people consider urgent. Believe me, telling me when the pay office is open is not urgent. Telling me who my human resources "partner" is during the break is not urgent (in fact, almost nothing HR ever does is urgent. HR is always code for representing the interests of the employer at all times and should be renamed BR in the interests of accuracy).
But what would it do if we stopped checking our emails and our work social media accounts during our time off?
A couple of things, instantly. Hiring practices would change. And our expectations.
The people who employ us would have to recognise that their social media accounts, for instance, should be adequately staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, by people who are paid to work over that particular time. About three years ago, I met a young woman who worked for one of the big four banks and managed their most-complained-to Twitter feed. She basically triaged 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And was paid for 35 hours. Nice exploitation if you can make it work for you but it didn't work for her. She was a wreck, waking during the night to see what fresh hell the online banking portal had unleashed on her unsuspecting customers.
Research from the Australia Institute tells me that the average full-time worker in Australia loses 5.1 hours per week to unpaid overtime – or 264 hours per year; and describes that as "time theft". It also says that across Australia unpaid overtime reduces worker incomes by $116 billion per year. Which is tremendous for employers but not so good for our families who keep saying things like: "Put the phone away, Mum."
What would happen to me if I didn't check my emails? What would happen if I put a notification on which said: "Please resend your email at 9am on the first working day, otherwise I won't respond."
Well, that's an interesting proposition. A couple of years ago, I sent an email to a colleague at about 6pm on a Friday night. I got this bounceback.
"I'm trialling a new app. Any email sent to me on weekends will be automatically deleted. Please make sure you resend your email on Monday."
It blew me away. Partly the idea that a colleague thought this was OK and partly that I would have to redo work I'd already done. That response put the onus on me to remember to resend the email.
I've just checked, I never sent it and he never replied. Shame he missed out on a zillion dollars. Joke. Anyhow, that bounceback, maybe the imperious tone, made me engage with how I could manage my waterfall of emails without sounding like a jerk.
My solution is to be as brief as possible, sometimes not even a full sentence. At the beginning of each teaching period, I explain to new students that I will do my very best to answer them but sometimes my answers will be one or two words long. It won't begin with dear or end with regards. Just the basic necessary information. I no longer answer questions late at night (the screen time was interrupting my sleep patterns) but I'm OK early in the morning. With the help of Graham Allcott, I came to realise that inbox should not be my "to-do" list because all that meant was that others were constructing my work day. And as he quite rightly points out, I had to stop confusing connectivity with productivity.
It's not perfect and it's not congruent with my paid working hours but in some ways, I've already built my own "right to disconnect".
I've spent my life saying yes because I wanted to but, just like the French, it's time to say non, not now.

Mossad proxy faked violent Facebook anti-Semitism
Asa Winstanley Lobby Watch 16 January 2016
A YouTube screenshot shows a violently anti-Semitic statement Shurat HaDin posted to a fake pro-Palestinian Facebook page the Mossad-linked group had created.
An Israeli legal group with intimate ties to the state's intelligence agencies has admitted to faking an ostensibly pro-Palestinian Facebook page and using it to post anti-Semitic statements including "Death to all the Jews."
The Israeli group has also filed a lawsuit against Facebook, for allegedly permitting Palestinian "incitement."
Shurat HaDin claims to be a "civil rights organization." Various media reports have described it as an "Israeli non-governmental organization," an "advocacy group," or even a neutral-sounding "law center" – the group's self-description also adopted by The Guardian and PBS.
But US embassy cables leaked by Chelsea Manning and published by WikiLeaks tell a very different story.
Shurat HaDin director Nitsana Darshan-Leitner privately told a US embassy official that her group "took direction" on which court cases to pursue. She claimed that she "receives evidence" from Israel's international espionage and assassination agency Mossad and from Israel's National Security Council.
Mossad anti-Semitism
In a video published to YouTube last week, Shurat HaDin claimed responsibility for the creation of a Facebook page titled "Stop Israelis" on 29 December.
A screenshot from Shurat HaDin's YouTube video shows the "pro-Palestinian" Facebook page the Mossad-linked group faked.
At some point soon after, the page posted a cartoon about the Israeli threat to al-Aqsa mosque, along with the statement: "Revenge against the zionist enemy that threatens Al Aqsa! Death to all the jews! [sic]"
Shurat HaDin says the faking of the page was done as a "Facebook experiment," supposedly to demonstrate that the social media giant is biased against Israelis.
Shurat HaDin claims it created a second racist page, but called "Stop Palestinians," and then reported both pages to Facebook at the same time, but that only the latter was immediately removed.
In fact, the fake Shurat HaDin page containing the anti-Semitic statement was also deleted within days of when Shurat HaDin claims it was reported to Facebook.
Speaking to The Jerusalem Post, Gilad Ravid of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev criticized Shurat HaDin's actions, saying he was "not convinced that the conclusions drawn from this experiment are the correct ones."
Ravid also said Shurat HaDin's anti-Semitic postings on Facebook would have caused "significant discomfort" to those who read them before the page was closed down.
Media later reporting on the "experiment," including the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post, were sent a statement from the social media giant: "Facebook does not tolerate hate speech, including against people on the basis of their nationality. We review all reports and take down such content. Both these pages have now been removed from Facebook."
Facebook did not reply to a request for further comment.
Violent incitement
Ironically, use of Facebook and other social media by Israelis for violent incitement against Palestinians and Muslims is pervasive. The Electronic Intifada has documented this phenomenon over several years.
A perusal through our "Israelis on Facebook" tag lists too many disturbing examples to list in full here.
Some of the more notable cases include Mor Ostrovski, the Israeli soldier who posted a photo of a Palestinian child in the crosshairs of his rifle to his Instagram account; an outbreak of violent racist fantasies ("Castrate them!" "Burn them!" "Bullet in the head!") against a group of young Palestinian children who had joined a peaceful protest camp in 2013; and a July 2015 viral campaign in which Israelis posted photos of their children holding signs demanding the execution of Palestinian "terrorists."
Even more notable is the fact that this racist incitement against Palestinians stems from the very top of the Israeli establishment.
Current justice minister Ayelet Shaked in 2014 approvingly posted a genocidal article to her Facebook page which declared that "the entire Palestinian people is the enemy" and justified its destruction, "including its elderly and its women, its cities and its villages, its property and its infrastructure."
One month later Moshe Feiglin, then deputy speaker of Israel's parliament, used his Facebook page to publish his own detailed plan for the total destruction of the Palestinian people in Gaza.
The plan called for the "conquest of the entire Gaza Strip, and annihilation of all fighting forces and their supporters," and called for the civilian population to be "concentrated" in special camps on the border with Egypt.
All of these instances of Israelis using Facebook for violent and genocidal incitement against Palestinians took place long before the current Palestinian uprising began in October – the subject of a recently-launched Shurat HaDin lawsuit against Facebook.
Mossad vs. Facebook
The reason for the Mossad-linked group to want to generate such negative publicity for Facebook is no mystery.
Lakin v. Facebook was filed in a New York state court at the end of October on behalf of some 20,000 Israelis against the social media giant.
It is an attempt to get Facebook to crack down on Palestinians who Shurat HaDin claims use it to praise or organize armed resistance against Israeli soldiers and civilians.
The suit calls for the court to issue "an injunction requiring the defendant to stop allowing Palestinian terrorists to incite violent attacks against Israeli citizens."
But according to Eugene Volokh, a UCLA law professor who blogs at The Washington Post, the case "is going nowhere."
Volokh argues that Shurat HaDin's suit relies on "Israeli laws that restrict speech" in a way which would be "unconstitutionally overbroad" under the First Amendment which prohibits federal, state and local government in the US from restricting free speech.
"American courts don't enforce foreign speech restrictions that would be inconsistent with the First Amendment," Volokh observes.
He says that "many of the examples that the complaint offers thus wouldn't even qualify as 'incitement' under US law."
Volokh says that Facebook "has no obligation under US law to censor its content" as Shurat HaDin and the Israeli government clearly want it to do.
"Covert" online units
This is not the first time that Israel, or groups engaging in government-backed propaganda, have engaged in such deceptive online tactics.
In 2013, it was reported that the Israeli prime minister's office was organizing students in "covert" and "semi-military" style units to tweet and post pro-Israel messages on social media without revealing they are doing it as part of a government propaganda campaign.
During the 2014 Israeli assault on Gaza, which killed more than 2,200 Palestinians, including 551 children, one Israeli student union set up a "Hasbara war room" – using the Hebrew word for propaganda. "We want people abroad who don't know our reality to understand exactly what is going on here," one of the organizers explained. The "war room" itself drew on earlier similar efforts.
Also in summer 2014, The Electronic Intifada revealed how pro-Israel website Israel21c planned to use interns to infiltrate online communities with its puff-piece stories about the supposed wonders of Israeli technology.
"You wouldn't directly reference that you're interning for Israel21c," one of the men behind the project admitted to our undercover reporter, "that would sort of defeat the point of posting it."
And only last month the Center for Public Diplomacy and Israeli Hasbara announced it would plant secret operatives within Israeli human rights groups in order to discredit and undermine their work in support of Palestinian human rights.
Zionist anti-Semitism
There is also a pre-Internet age precedent for the "significant discomfort" that Shurat HaDin's current Facebook deceptions would have caused Jews and others reading the "Stop Israelis" page.
In the 1980s, undercover Anti-Defamation League agent Roy Bullock (who worked for both Israel and the South African apartheid regime) infiltrated Palestine solidarity and Arab civil rights groups in the US.
One of Bullock's tactics was to try and make it look as if the Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) had neo-Nazi links.
He did this by trying to manufacture those links himself.
On one occasion, Bullock attended a conference of the Holocaust-denying "Institute for Historical Review" to distribute ADC literature and recruit members.
We know that Israel and its allied groups around the world are still involved in keeping close tabs on Palestine solidarity activists.
Incidents like Shurat HaDin's fabrication of an anti-Semitic "pro-Palestinian" Facebook page show some of the lengths to which Israel's propagandists will still go.

As explored in a number of posts here at the Electronic Intifada, Zionist propaganda increasingly makes use of anti-Semitic stereotypes. Mossad's planting of anti-Jewish diatribes on Facebook is meant to discredit the Palestinian cause. Other, even more disturbing instances involve the direct adoption of a neo-Nazi viewpoint towards Jews who oppose Zionism. The language of vituperation and the caricatures employed in these attacks do not differ substantially from the style employed by the gutter press of the Third Reich. Zionism as a political movement has never been comfortable with the Jewish religion, "assimilationist" attitudes in the diaspora, or the reluctance of many Jews to adopt a racialist outlook.
For those who haven't yet seen it, here's a link to a notorious piece of animated hasbara, produced by the Samaria Settler Council. The racist depiction of "the Jew" is in full and noxious flower, as is the Nazis' other favorite trope, the corrupt capitalist who works in tandem with the Jew to warp national consciousness.

"David Brotsky's Romance With Guns, Violence and Pro-Israel Hate"| by Richard Silverstein | Tikun Olam | December 4, 2012
[EXCERPTS] A year ago or so I exposed the identity [ http://goo.gl/iwnaj7 ] of the founder of the Jewish Internet Defense Force. David Brotsky, aged 37, lives in Dallas . . .
. . . One of Brotsky's claims to fame (or infamy) is his "mastery" of the art of exploitation and manipulation of social media. He of course maintains JIDF Facebook and Twitter accounts, but he also appears to have created multiple sockpuppet accounts designed to support and echo his own views. Conversely, he creates fake accounts of supposed Arab or Muslim users and posts damaging anti-Semitic or anti-Israel material:
…We will be launching our largest operation on 4chan and other popular image boards, our objective is to create an image of Palestinians and Lebanese being virulently anti-American and anti-Western.
• Create threads against Israel and fill them with posts from violent Jihadist Palestinians, claim to want to immigrate into the West to do Jihad, later on in the threads post links to propaganda films like Pallywood.
• Exploit massive Lebanese immigration into Australia as a reason why the Australian people should support Israel.
• Post propaganda threads linking to Palestinian and Lebanese suicide bombers and other Muslim extremism, in these threads also reply as a Jew who has been affected by Jihadist violence, explain to the readers that Muslims are a threat to the West.
• Start threads claiming to be Lebanese-Americans or Palestinian-Englanders, portray yourselves as extremely anti-Israel, later on in these threads claim to be a Jew disgusted by the behavior of the Lebanese/Palestinian man. . .

Biased reporting
Permalink Greg Magarshak replied on Thu, 02/04/2016 - 14:10
There are legitimate things to be talking about when people are coming from a Zionist or Anti-Zionist angle. But misleading reporting hurts the actual people who are affected on both sides. Because it gives fuel to the other side to point out how untrustworthy your headlines and articles are, and then casts doubt on others you've written.
This article seems to suggest that the Mossad faked violent antisemitism, as if without it, such pages wouldn't exist. That is not at all what happened. Shurat HaDin is a civil rights organization, but is certainly biased as is the Electronic Intifada btw. They carried out an experiment to prove that Facebook takes down only the anti-Israel speech and not anti-Palestinian speech, and the pages were identically managed, posting increasingly provocative statements until one was taken down: the "Stop Palestinians" one. You then report:
"In fact, the fake Shurat HaDin page containing the anti-Semitic statement was also deleted within days of when Shurat HaDin claims it was reported to Facebook."
But the whole point is, this only happened after the media firestorm which got Facebook's attention. Facebook actually apologized and said it made a mistake.
http://www.algemeiner.com/2016...
None of this is mentioned in your article. In short, the headline, and the selective facts in the content, make it a biased article. How does this help improve Palestinian rights? Doesn't it just give more chances to show how Electronic Intifada withholds facts to present a biased narrative? But perhaps I am wrong, and that is what's needed... maybe both sides distort stories in their favor, and so you need to do it too.
But as someone who is not Anti-Zionist but Pro Palestinian and Pro Human rights, I am disappointed.
Intrigued by your post, I
Intrigued by your post, I linked to your blog. Your statement here-
"But as someone who is not Anti-Zionist but Pro Palestinian and Pro Human rights, I am disappointed."
seems to me contradicted by your entry for September 11, 2014, entitled "What Palestinians can do that's actually productive". With your permission, I offer that link here-
http://magarshak.com/blog/?p=174
In that contribution, you placed all responsibility for the entire tragedy of the Palestinian people exclusively on themselves. You even suggested that the apartheid system of Jews only settlements in the West Bank would not be necessary if only Palestinians would accept their illegal, land-grabbing presence graciously. The entire essay proceeded along these lines, and Israel, its conquering army, colonial policies and periodic massacres of large numbers of defenseless civilians, were scarcely mentioned as factors impinging on Palestinian freedom of action. According to you, the problem comes down to one recurring motif- the Palestinians just keep making bad choices.
Normally, people who post here say what they really think. Not many commenters strike a pose of neutrality in this struggle, or declare their pro-Palestinian sympathies in order better to defend Israel. Interested readers may wish to draw their own conclusions in this instance. Nevertheless, it was a pleasure visiting your site. I found it to be quite professionally produced, while retaining the personal character of its creator.

Well thank you, I'm glad you find my website professionally produced. Unless you're being facetious.
Yes, I posted what I think here, under my own name. I've been advocating for the end of "the tragedy of the Palestinian people" for a long time. I am not sure how my blog post which you linked to contradicts what I've said. I am pro-Palestinian, not anti-Zionist and the whole point of that post was to show what positive steps Palestinians can take, today, without waiting for the two state solution. So naturally it would be about that. I do not place "all the responsibility" for the Palestinians on the people. Not at all. On the other hand I think their leaders have sucked and I think regular Palestinian people have paid the price.
In a lot of this I agree with Ali Abunimah who runs this site. Both he and I think the two state solution is the definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Yes I blame Palestinian leaders for their bungling. Look at what happened to Palestinians in Kuwait because of the PLO's alliance with Saddam, look at what they did during Black September, look at what they did getting involved in Lebanese civil war against the Phalangists, etc.
I believe that the way forward for Palestinians is through access to real economies like they used to have before 1988. Before Jordan cut off the West Bank and before the intifadas. Economic prosperity will improve people's lives in West Bank which is sorely needed. Knife attacks will not solve anything. There is a lot Palestinians can do without waiting for the political process, and I outline many of those solutions. Sadly I do not share the optimism about a one-state solution that Ali Abunimah and my friend Yehuda HaKohen have. But what I really believe is, that Anti-Zionism hurts both Palestinians and Israelis, and further perpetuates the suffering of refugees.
Everyone should get equal rights where they were born, today. But Palestinians never do.
and of Israel?

You have offered no substantive criticism of Israel, despite its long history of mass murder, overt racism, ethnic cleansing and systematic oppression of Palestinians. All your suggestions for self-correction are directed towards Israel's victims. I continue to regard such a position, and the accompanying rhetorical tactics, to be disingenuous, to say the least.
I'm with Tom Hall';s response
I'm with Tom Hall';s response to Greg Magarshak. What do you say the Palestinians under occupation should do, Greg? Just lie back and think of the past, while Israel takes more and more of their land? Most unrealistic. And your comments about the Phalangists is truly disingenuous - you must surely recall what they did to the Palestinians in the refugee camps, Sabra and Shatilah, in Lebanon, aided and abetted by the IDF in the murders. And this was after Israel had invaded Lebanon and carried out the massacres of Palestinians in the Rashidiyeh refugee camp, dropping phosphorus bombs and cluster bombs on the schools and hospitals. Palestinians to blame for these massacres? Don't think so.
You are just crying crocodile tears for the Palestinians . . .

"In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ" – does this statement guarantee God's answer to prayers?
Our brothers and sisters that belong to the Christian faith will always use this statement to frame the prayers they offer to the Creator and with the hope that such prayers will be acceptable to the Almighty God.
The actual antecedent to this practice was the promise supposedly given by the Son of God, Jesus Christ, to those who believed in Him and in His Father that sent Him to bring redemption and salvation to mankind. We read in the Bible that the Lord Jesus Christ [said] in this promise that the legitimate needs of those who believed in Him would always be met whenever they ask of these of His Father in His Name.
Let us take note that the promise was meant for those who truly, loyally and whole-heartedly believed in Him and lived their lives the way He had asked them to. We should also take note that professing the Saviour in public by mouth does not translate to living the Word that He brought. The two are not the same.
For example, someone who professes to be a follower of Christ and does not know how to show true love to his fellow-men or does not know how to be his brother's keeper cannot in any way lay claim to this promise that Jesus gave.
When the Son of God gave the promise to His own that whatever they ask of His Father in His Name will be granted He used His promise to anchor their childlike faith in the love and benevolence of God and in the Word that He brought. For the faith that His teachings brought to life in those that believed in Him Jesus felt the obligation to protect that faith. Their faith was the first harvest of His work on earth over which He invoked the protection and blessing of His Father.
Anyone that will use those words of promise has the obligation to first ask himself whether he has the right faith in God and in His Word.
The promise does not work as a talisman.
Therefore it is important for us to know what made it expedient for Jesus to give the promise and what the human creature is supposed to make of the promise in his inner attitude.
Jesus, the Son of God, did not work out of human wisdom but out of Divine wisdom. We should bear this in mind at all times whenever we intend to take advantage of any of the many promises he gave while on earth.


This article reviews stock trading tips that are useful for every investor. While there are no tricks to trading in the stock market, there are stock market tips that can be applied to save you money. Read the below tips and see if there are any that would be beneficial to you.
Investors must keep in mind that technology is great but it can hinder your success when placing trades. We all know that at times our internet services provider is delayed or slow for whatever reason, and sometimes this slows down or can prevent our orders from reaching online firms. Maybe your modem or computer is slow or the heavy volume of traffic on the site that you use is heavy, therefore slowing it down. These issues and others can cause a delay or failure in investor's attempts to access online automated trading systems. You must be sure that your computer, modem and internet services provider is top notch and in working order, and be sure that the online stock trading system that you use can withstand heavy volumes of traffic. We suggest that you take a trial period with systems of your choice so that you can see the overall performance before committing yourself to one.
Investors must be patient when canceling or placing an order. At times investors think that their order did not go through and they mistakenly place another order. Doing this can result in owning twice and much stock as originally intended, and sometimes actually selling stock that the investors does not own. Stock traders should check with their firm to find out how to handle situations in which they are unsure if an order actually was executed. They should be able to tell you what you should do if this happens when trading stock online.
Crucial investment advice in this section is to pay special attention when you read your margin agreement provided by your broker. Your broker has the right to sell your securities at any time, without consulting with you first, if your account falls below the firm's maintenance margin requirement. A margin call is when your broker does call you first, but in many firms it is not a requirement. In fact, in quickly declining markets, your broker can sell your entire margin account because the securities in the account have declined in value, therefore resulting in great loss for the investor. When trading and investing you must keep this piece of information in mind.
There are many more important stock trading tips in addition to those mentioned above that every investor should know. It is crucial that every trader does their homework, regarding the types of stock trading they are going to practice, the type of stock market trading system to use, and they must also take training courses and stock market training seminars. There is a wealth on information that must be attained before any investor should even think about trading stocks for a living.
Market Direction: There is great indecision in the markets! This was obvious all summer when the Dumpling Top was in formation. That was the prelude to the anticipated downdraft in the market. However, since the market has hit bottom, it has moved sideways again. Todays close in the Dow is almost exactly midpoint of the trading range since the early part of October. Price moves in the market have been fast and furious. This has made positioning very difficult. It has made daytrading much more conducive. When the Dow can move down 700 points in one day and then back up 880 points the following day, being on the right side of the market has become that much more important, especially in the short term trading area.
Today's weakness in the Dow and the NASDAQ, after the potentially good news that China's government was putting out $600 billion to stimulate their economy, clearly revealed the selling sentiment was still the most powerful force. Friday's trading formed a Bullish Harami. This had the potential of indicating the selling had stopped. The selling was a loss of 10% in the Dow the prior two days. What was required to confirm the bullish harami? Indications that the Bulls were still present after Friday's positive trading. The potential was there with a positive premarket futures this morning. The Chinese government stimulus package had the Asian markets trading very strong. The premarket futures were a reflection of that strength. Buying on the strength this morning should have been done with one reservation. The bullish sentiment was required going into the close today. There was two reasons that was required.
When analyzing a candlestick signal, it has to be done in the context of where the stochastics are going. The previous two days of strong selling had the stochastics curled back down in a negative direction. The lack of a strong close today would not have changed the stochastics direction. A strong close would have confirmed the Harami signal and curled the stochastics back up in an upward direction. The next aspect to our analysis was the location of the T. line. A strong close today would have had the Dow closing up above the T. line. A weak close today would have had the Dow closing below the T. line, indicating the T. line was still an indicator that was confirmed to the downside.
Just because a candlestick signal appears, it is still important to analyze where that signal has occurred in the trend. Other indicators, such as moving averages that are crucial to the current trend evaluation, also need to be taken into consideration. As we observed, the Dow closed lower today after a strong morning. The NASDAQ provided the same visual indication, failing to stay above the T. line and the stochastics continuing to point in a downward direction. Why is this analysis important.
The premarket futures were confirming a potential candlestick buy signal. However, there were other indicators that needed to be satisfied. Any purchases made this morning should have been closed once it became evident that the markets were not going to maintain a strong bullish day. This allows for getting back out of positions with small losses. It also permits for the establishment of short positions that are confirming their signals.
FTEK is an example of the selling occurring after a candlestick sell signal. It had the potential of holding up above the T. line, potentially forming a general pattern. This was a pattern that many stocks were trying to establish on the bullish day of Friday. However, as witnessed in the FTEK chart, the gap down today, in spite of the bullish premarket futures, clearly illustrated the Bears were in control. The gap down in price, after the selling of the previous three days, that followed the little Doji, made it clear the downtrend was still in progress. It closed very close to the support level of the past 30 days. Looking at the chart allows for easy evaluation of what to do next. The stochastics have curled back down. If it opens lower tomorrow, it would be breaching the support level. This would indicate that more selling is probably in progress.
When the market conditions are very hard to understand, an added benefit is knowing which stocks or sectors should be doing the best or worst during this time of year. That becomes another contributing factor for put in the probabilities in your favor. This is called seasonality. Good profits can be made by just knowing which specific stocks and sectors perform well during certain times of the year or after certain events. Unfortunately it is very difficult to gather the data that would prepare in investor for watching specific stocks. Peter Hoyt, cofounder of Best Choice Software has created the best software program available.
There may be some tough economic times ahead. Wouldn't you like to know which stocks perform the best when the economy is slowing down? Wouldn't you like to know which stocks perform the best or worst when other economies are performing well or slowing down? This is all information that Peter Hoyt has built into his successful trading software program. This program has excellent analytical features and a tremendous amount of valuable information. He will be giving a free presentation tomorrow night Tuesday november 11, demonstrating the benefits derived from seasonality. His program puts a tremendous amount of information at your fingertips and he has it structured to be used effectively. Do not miss this presentation. He provides some very valuable insights into when and why specific sectors move. Combine this with candlestick signals, and you have a very powerful confirming combination. Click here to sign up for the free seasonality presentation.
Chat session tonight for members at 8 PM ET.

Hayley's best 'live' performance - what is it and why? Oct 2, 2015 11:35:16 GMT

while Hayley is singing I Am A Thousand Winds she seems to pick someone in the audience at 2:05 to 2:16 and again at 3:49 to 4:07.
I wonder what sixth sense causes her to do it. The recipient definitely knows who she is looking at, there is absolutely no doubt about it even at forty or fifty feet, it can be the longest ten seconds in the listeners life and a moment to treasure and cherish forever.

It's sad that she hasn't performed not only Dido's lament but any song that has really high notes like ever, other than one or two times when she was like really young....for a soprano this should be easy and is always expected as well. For Hayley upto the F5 belts it's like nothing, as in you'd know it's easy deal for her. Whereas the high note at the end of "let it go" for instance, an Eb5(2 semitones lower than Hayley's easy note) would be a dramatic finish to a song and regarded as real high by many...and Idina fails hitting it sometimes....so for Hayley to be really vocally impressive she needs to hit anything above the F5, and attempt songs like Malena and such live, and sing Amazing grace with the original high notes, and also Ave Maria. It's such a turn down when she doesn't, atleast once in one song in an entire concert should be a must to fulfill any concert goer's experience as well. And believe me, Hayley's classical way of hitting high notes are not damaging to the vocal chords unlike the likes of pop singers, where you need to 'preserve' your voice. If anything, high notes require lesser effort than chesty low notes.

Delia's experimental piece in 11/8 time, Way Out in Piccadilly, was later issued on record as Way Out. Some of her notes are on the back of an envelope dated 24th Oct 1966.[1]
There seem to be two versions:
Way Out produced for the BBC and
Way Out in Piccadilly for Irving Davies/The Frankie Howerd/Cilla Black Show.
Cilla Black and Frankie Howerd in 1966
Now let us go back to the last fifties, early sixties. Dave Brubeck had done "Take Five" and in '61 he'd done "It's a Raggy Waltz" so - that was in seven time - so I thought "Fine! I'm into the numbers game. I'll do eleven time and thirteen time", continuing the series of prime numbers. But unfortunately that style, I was told, was "too sophisticated for the BBC2 audience" and so, as I was doing it, the choreographer Vin Davies happened to be walking down the corridor and his feet started tapping and he said "I want that!" and I said "No, you can't! I've done it for the BBC." And so he implored me to do something in the same style, in eleven time and thirteen time, for his dance group, which I did. In fact it was the Frankie Howerd and Cilla Black show it was originally done for, but it had to be scrapped from that because they did the stupid thing of putting this rather delicate music as an opener to the second act. [...] A friend told me that by one means or another it ended up as a backing for a deodorant commercial on television which is something of course we were absolutely forbidden to do but it was nothing of my doing. It was rejected by BBC2 and there it was on the commercial.
-- Delia in the Radio Scotland interview
An episode of the BBC series "Cilla", entitled "Cilla Black and Frankie Howerd" was broadcast on the 31 December 1968[2] though some of Delia's notes for Way Out are on the back of an envelope dated over two years earlier.[3] while the first episode of the series Cilla was broadcast on the 20th January 1968.[4]
