Always on the lookout for my next adventure.
Published August 5th 2013
Travel through time into the history of Malaysia
Just beside Jalan Damansara in Kuala Lumpur.
As a Malaysian growing up just a half-hour's drive away from Kuala Lumpur, I am ashamed to say that I didn't visit the National Museum until I turned 22 (this is a literal fact, as I visited the museum on my birthday outing). Even so, better late than never! I admit that it was only after I came back from studying in Adelaide that I took a more active interest in museums and other tourist attractions in my own city, having been a long-term tourist myself in South Australia.
Opened on the 31st of August 1963.
The National Museum, or Muzium Negara as it is known in Malay, has a story that reaches back to the year 1899 during the era of the British colonialisation. Back then, it was the Selangor Museum that stood on this spot, but the building's right wing and many artefacts were destroyed in 1945 due to bombings by the Allied Air Force. It wasn't until 14 years later that an architect by the name of Ho Kok Hoe was chosen to design the new museum, which now stands on the exact same location as the former Selangor Museum. The brand new National Museum was finally officiated on the 30 August 1963, just a day before Malaysia's 6th anniversary of independence.
Tickets for adult Malaysian citizens cost RM2.
Entry to the museum costs RM2 for adults and RM1 for senior citizens and the disabled, while children under 12 can enter for free. However, this price is reserved for Malaysian citizens. Foreigners must pay a RM5 entry for adults, while children between the ages of 6 and 12 are charged RM2. Kids younger than 6 can enter for free. There is also a special rate for secondary school students who are in their school uniforms - without the uniform, the entry stands at RM2.
Gallery A: Pre-History
The museum's floor plan.
In total there are five galleries at the museum - four are permanent all time exhibits, while the fifth is usually opened when there are special exhibitions going on (at the time of my visit, there was one on Masks of the World). Gallery A marked the beginning of our adventure into Malaysian history, travelling back in time to the earth's formation and moving gradually through prehistoric times in the Malay Archipelago.
Gallery A exhibits the prehistoric side of Malaysia.
Walking through the dimly lit gallery really brought back memories of my history textbook back in school. From earthenware to tools to skeletal remains (both actual and replicated), there is quite a lot to see here. There is even a replica of the Perak Man, a 11,000 years old human skeleton found 22 years ago in Lenggong Valley, Perak - his is the oldest human skeleton discovered in Malaysia.
Gallery B: The Malay Kingdoms
The entrance to The Malay Kingdoms.
The second gallery focuses on the Malay Kingdoms, a crucial backdrop of Malaysia's past. The Malay sultanate has its roots in Malacca (back then being a strategically located trading port) with the coming of Parameswara, who was later known as Sultan Iskandar Shah following his conversion to Islam. It was during the mid-15th century that Malacca experienced its glory years before its fall to the Portuguese Empire in 1511.
A hand-drawn map of the Malay Archipelago.
This gallery has a certain warmth to it, with the gloss of polished wood and a yellow glow about the exhibits; definitely a fitting colour, as yellow is the royal shade of the sultanate.
Currency in the form of animal-shaped tin.
There are a variety of artefacts here, mostly portraying the culture of the times in terms of dress, weaponry, jewellery, currency and traditions.
Islamic influences seen in the ceramics of the time.
There is also an emphasis on the way Islam affected the traditions and culture of the era, as Malacca was seen as a center of Islam in the region. There is even an exhibit in the furthest end of the gallery that portrays the conversion of a Malay Sultan to Islam.
Gallery C: Colonial Era
A model replica of a ship belonging to the colonial powers.
The third gallery had the most interesting layout in my opinion - as you walk through the exhibits, you will wander through large replicas of forts and structures set up by the Dutch and British during their respective periods of colonialism in Malaya, Sabah and Sarawak.
This gallery boasts a number of fort replicas incorporated into its layout.
The artifacts on exhibit here encompass the rule of the Portuguese, Dutch, British and the Japanese.
Firearms during the Dutch rule.
Weapons are a common feature here, as well as the currency used at the time.
A scale replica of a tin mining dredge.
The Malay Archipelago was considered prime land all these centuries ago, mainly for the natural resources that were in high demand at the time. Tin, for instance was a huge moneymaker during the Industrial Revolution, while having control of the trade routes in the area gave the rulers a significant amount of power. Pictured above is one of the tin mining dredges constructed to meet the high demand of tin internationally.
There is supposed to be a fourth indoor exhibit called 'Malaysia Today'. Unfortunately, it was closed for renovation works during the time of my visit, so I couldn't go in and take a look. According to the museum website, the gallery focuses on the formation of Malaysia and her independence from foreign rule.
Outdoor Exhibit
An old school fire engine.
Outside the museum building, there is an outdoor exhibit showcasing traditional forms of transportation and the eventual transition to modern automobiles today.
Traditional forms of transportation outside the museum.
Take the time to explore the area around the main building, as there are even some gravestone replicas and a small wooden kampung house on stilts. I didn't take any pictures of those unfortunately, which just gives you even more reason to drop by for a visit yourself!
The Penang Hill tram.
The museum is definitely a must-see for both locals and tourists, giving a pretty comprehensive idea of Malaysia's past and how she got to where she is today. There are free guided tours at 10 am every day ... and as this month of August marks the country's 56th year of independence, what better time is there to visit and relive the history of the land?

How could I have forgotten Ruth's Restaurant in my list of former Winona restaurants? All the grilled cheese sandwiches I ate there, the way they went right to my hips! And I left them off the list. I was reminded of that by Steve Slaggie.
Also heard from Donna Loth, who thought of The Chef, which was somewhere near Baker's Shoes, the Dairy Bar, owned by Roy and Beulah Christenson (Steve fondly remembered the homemade blueberry pie), and the Kewpie, across from Angst. Also, the Sweet Shop, and Harry and Millie's Brite Spot on Jackson Street (a welcome respite from the CST dining room for me, too) came to Donna's mind.
Evelyn remembered some of the same, plus Goodie's Corner Cafe.
Steve remembered Hogan's Hamburger Hogan, across the alley from Haddad's (now Leaf's Cleaners), plus Sambo's, Mr. T's, and Hub Zeches' Milwaukee Hotel. He also reminded me that Ruth's was subsequently called Ordell's.
Then I remembered Shakey's, Cousins, and whatever that place on Huff by the tracks was called where they sold Chicago Hot Dogs. Also, who remembers the guy who had the hot dog wagon downtown on Third Street, and the place that opened in the Plaza kiosk (now gone) that sold stuffed baked potatoes?
I got a visit last week from Roger Lacher, who proposed a display for our front window down here on Second Street. Knowing Roger as an inveterate collector, I wondered what he had in mind.
Well, apparently, he's been cleaning, and this proposal was a win-win situation. He gets rid of some stuff and frees up storage space, and we get a display that's almost museum quality, depending on your idea of what a museum should be.
Drop down and take a look. Believe me, there are some rather arcane tools there. We have log pikes, fish spears, traps, old blacksmith tools, a dog cart, and even a skunk skin, which would make a rather unique coat collar. Maybe I can make a deal with Roger. Wouldn't that surprise my relatives back in Massachusetts, where skunks were about the only wildlife we saw in the Boston suburbs.
Along with R.D. Cone's Antiques on one side of us, and the vast collection of stuff at the Consignment Shoppe on the other side, Second Street is getting to be prime window shopping real estate.
Quite a while ago, Roger did a story for us on a rather unusual job he had taken on. If I remember correctly, the county was set to embark on a recycling program, and first wanted to do a "study" of what sorts of things people were most likely to throw in the trash to be taken to the landfill.
The county hired a bunch of people with strong stomachs, including Roger, dressed them up in moon suits and had them catalogue the trash of their fellow Winonans. Yuck!
Since Roger wrote about that experience for the Winona Post, I've had a new respect for him. Formerly, I thought he was only a rather poetic fellow who loved the outdoors, fishing, hunting, and such, and didn't mind living at the end of nowhere down in Wiscoy Valley.
But trash inspector! Now you don't meet a guy like that every day. That's what I love about Winona, all I have to do is sit in my office, and I get to meet some of the most fascinating people in the world.


The front door opens into a traditional flagstone hall with staircase and provides access to a card room with a fireplace with delft tiled surround. The principal reception rooms consist of an elegant drawing room, morning room, sitting room and dining room.
The kitchen and breakfast room have exposed wooden beams, an island, double Aga and larder. The kitchen provides access to the large conservatory overlooking the garden and also leads on through a family room into the domestic offices including a laundry room, flower room and access to the rear courtyard. On the upper floors are six well proportioned double bedrooms, five of which are en suite, a further family bathroom and various attic store rooms.
To the rear of the house is a separate entrance off the Milk Road which leads into the cobbled courtyard. There is a 4 car garage with a car lift, a separate double garage, workshop, stables, store rooms and office. To the southern end of the house is the concert hall with a viewing gallery and high ceiling. It is believed that this building was originally used for the English sport ?Fives'. A wooden floor sits over what was previously an indoor swimming pool. We are told that the foundations are still in place should a purchaser wish to revert the use.
Beautifully landscaped and maintained, the gardens are a spectacular feature at Dunsborough Park. Formally laid out in the 18th Century, the gardens have been gradually improved and extended since with a ha-ha surrounding the perimeter.
To the north of the house is a series of traditional Edwardian greenhouses (now requiring modernisation) and the walled gardens, divided into four main areas: a rose garden, a knot garden, a wild garden-orchard and a topiary garden. On entering the walled garden the Penelope Hobhouse borders provide a pathway across the top of the various garden sections, the first of which is immediately visible from the greenhouses, with a central pathway leading to some double wrought iron gates, bordered on both sides by mature apple espaliers. To the northern end is a magnificent Dutch garden with a huge array of tulips and a 70 ft long Ginkgo hedge.
The southern end of the walled gardens feature The White Garden, a secluded and natural area with a Mulberry tree thought to be over 300 years old. The Rose Walk runs parallel to the southern flank of the walled gardens and leads to The Italian Garden, a secluded area with high yew hedges and an oblong pool edged with York paving, all surrounded by a grass lawn. To the northern end of the Rose Walk is The Water Garden. Large blocks of stone create shallow pools with flowing water, all heading to Ockham Mill stream at the lower end, running underneath a picturesque stone bridge and pavilion.
A lawn extends out from the western side of the house as far as the ha-ha. To the south lies the hard tennis court, an old grass tennis court and outdoor swimming pool, with an impressive grotto with waterfall alongside.
The estate benefits from some excellent secondary accommodation in the form of 10 cottages, most of which are currently let on AST. Set within the courtyard behind the main house, The Coach House is located above the offices and provides a 3 bedroom flat. The Potting Shed lies further up the garden and has been converted to provide a 2 bedroom cottage.
Numbers 1, 2, 7 & 8 Dunsborough Cottages are all accessed off the Milk Road. Number 1 comprises 3 bedrooms; Number 2 has two bedrooms with Numbers 7 & 8 each providing 3 bedrooms.
North, East, South and West Lodges sit on four corners of the large Tudor style gatehouse at the main entrance. West Lodge and East Lodge have 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen and reception room whilst North Lodge and South Lodge comprise 3 bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen and reception room.
Extending west away from the house lies the parkland. A gate from the gardens gives access at the northern corner of the park, with a track leading down the northern edge towards the equestrian facilities. Further north a large meadow area stretches out to the River Wey.

The Cave is a puzzle-platform/adventure video game developed by Double Fine Productions and published by Sega in January 201 on the PlayStation Network, Nintendo eShop and Xbox Live Arcade storefronts via the PlayStation 3, Wii U and Xbox 360 consoles and on Steam for Microsoft Windows, OS X and Linux. It was later released on October 3, 2013 on iOS devices, and on December 2, 2013 on the Ouya.
The game was created by Ron Gilbert, building on an idea that he has had for nearly twenty years about a cave that lures people into it to explore their darker personality traits. The game is rated "teen" for blood and violence. The game borrows concepts from his earlier 1987 game, Maniac Mansion, such as the player initially selecting three different characters from a cast of seven to explore the Cave. Many of the game's puzzles require the three characters to work in coordination to complete, while some puzzles are specific to the unique abilities of a character; in this manner the Cave can only be fully explored through multiple play-throughs.
The Cave's story is based on a magical talking cave (voiced by Stephen Stanton) with a labyrinthine set of tunnels within it. Seven characters, drawn from across time and space and harboring dark secrets, have come to the Cave, believing they can "learn something about themselves and who they might become", as stated by Gilbert. In one example, a knight character goes to a princess for her amulet, which is the key to unlocking the pulling of the sword, who tell him to bring the treasure the dragon is guarding. The knight then succeeds, but forgets to close the gate to the dragon's den, in turn causing the dragon to eat the princess and coughing up the amulet. The knight then goes to the king with the amulet and is allowed to pull the sword, which was impossible at first due to lots of rocks beneath it - however, our characters overcome it by blowing it with dynamite. He then pulls out the sword, and the king "ran off to congratulate his favorite daughter", and gets eaten by the dragon himself. At the start of the game, the player selects three of the seven characters, which they are then locked to for the remainder of the game; players can restart a new game to select a different trio of characters. The characters are based on stereotypical figures, such as a hillbilly, a pair of twins (acting as one character), and a scientist.
Show/hide text
As the player controls the trio to explore the Cave, they collect objects and interact with the environment in a manner similar to an adventure game. The exploration of the game is based on 2D platformer elements, though the game is presented with 3D graphics. Exploration is described as being "Metroidvania"-like, where more of the Cave's tunnels and chambers become accessible as players collect objects in a manner similar to Metroid or Castlevania. The player will need to work with all three characters, switching between them typically to activate multiple parts of a puzzle; one example shown in early press demonstrations was to use one character to ring a bell to distract a monster, a second character to repair a hot dog vending machine so to provide bait, and a third to operate a giant claw machine to pick up the monster to clear their path. Each character has a unique ability to aid in maneuvering the cave tunnels, leaving some areas inaccessible if the appropriate characters aren't chosen at the start; for example, the adventurer is able to swing herself across gaps with a rope, while the time traveler can phase shift a short distance, passing through closed gates. In addition, some areas of the Cave are accessible only to one of the specific characters; such as the knight finding a castle or the scientist discovering a laboratory; these areas represent the deep desires and dark aspects of a character that lured him or her to the Cave in the first place. While there are hazards that can kill a character, the character respawns shortly afterwards nearby, allowing the player to reattempt the move. Throughout the game will be iconographs for each of the three characters, which the player will need to get near to activate; these provide one of several still art images that reveal the character's back-story.
The game is primarily a single-player game, but up to three players can participate cooperatively on the same computer or console, each controlling one of the three selected characters.
Ron Gilbert has been working with adventure games since his days at LucasArts, including several collaborations with Tim Schafer and Dave Grossman; together, they developed games like Maniac Mansion, its sequel Day of the Tentacle, and the first games in the Monkey Island series. Gilbert left LucasArts in 1992, initially creating his own development studio but then moving on to other games, including contributing to Telltale Games' episodic series, Tales of Monkey Island based on the LucasArts series. Meanwhile, Schafer would stay with LucasArts until the adventure game market fell in the late 1990s, and created his own studio, Double Fine Productions, with several of the former LucasArts developers. Though Double Fine struggled with well-received but financially unsuccessful titles Psychonauts and Brütal Legend, it became successful in marketing four smaller games developed during an "Amnesia Fortnight" period in Brütal Legend's development between 2010 and 2011.
Gilbert has stated that the idea of The Cave has been one he has had for a long time; he said, of his idea, "People have really dark secrets, and going into a cave which is really dark and deep… that metaphor really resonated with me". While still at LucasArts, Gilbert had drawn out parts of a labyrinthine cave complex on paper, but the idea never expanded beyond that at that point. Prior to Gilbert's employment at Double Fine, he and Schafer continued to discuss game development and ideas; Gilbert had mentioned this cave idea, prompting Schafer to suggest him coming to work at his company to develop the idea. By September 2010, Gilbert was officially part of Double Fine to work on The Cave; at the time, Gilbert had stated that the yet-named title was "an entirely new concept" and that "fans of those old adventure games will like it". The timing of larger development of The Cave coincided with the resurgence in adventure games such as those produced by Telltale Games, and the success of the Double Fine Adventure Kickstarter. Gilbert also considered that with casual games becoming more mainstream and acceptable, the market can handle niche games such as adventure games which do not require fast reflexes. Despite the market potential, Gilbert found that pitching the game to publishers was still a challenge, as they did not perceive that a market would exist for such games. Through the act of pitching the game to publishers for the first time in his career, Gilbert had to move away from the free-form design he had used on previous titles and set out plans for the game as a whole, which he found as a benefit; the need to present information to potential publishers required him to think about the game as a whole while still allowing smaller elements to be added in at a later date as they saw fit.

COVID-19 Just KO'd America; Let's Get Back In The Ring & Fight It This Time
We are in a war against COVID-19 and while we won't win every battle, to win the war we must stop hiding from it and start fighting back.
That stark reality hit me and altered just about every thought I've ever had about the virus just after President Trump told us that his decision to let America get back to work will be the most difficult he's ever made. I understood the gravity and empathized with how tough this choice will be for him. It's all on his shoulders, and he will be bear the brunt of whatever the fallout is.
And I'm sure he knows what I know, and what many of you do even if you haven't gamed it out this far yet: To the best of our knowledge the vast majority of us haven't gotten the virus yet, and it's still out there, so the second we open things back up and give it a chance to spread it will do so with a vengeance.
Granted the modeling has always been wrong in the same narrative-above-science way that climate hysterics' modeling has always been wrong and the media has always tried to exploit the Wuhan Virus to incite fear that would create social and economic carnage predicated on promises of human carnage that were never going to be nearly as horrific as they tried to make us believe (all in an effort to hurt our nation more broadly in pursuit of their own political interests), but that doesn't mean a virus won't still need to ultimately run its course. And all indications are that the Wuhan Virus hasn't.
So it's going to spike again. It will start slowly, and rather than shut things down immediately again we're going to ride it out just a little further this time. And that's when it will spike exponentially.
And we still won't have a cure, or a vaccine.
And people are going to die. Some young, but the vast majority elderly and/or immunocompromised.
And there's nothing we can do about it.
You can't beat this kind of virus by hiding from it. In fact hiding from a virus like this one is the opposite of beating it: it's waving a white flag and letting the virus win.
So far we've destroyed our economy, cost tens of millions of Americans their jobs and life savings, destroyed thousands of small businesses, added trillions to our debt and deficit, created brand new mental health problems for some people, exacerbated them in others, and incited almost complete social misery. And as one healthcare expert recently pointed out to me: People are dying and will continue to die from medical care they're not getting because they're not allowed to. For example, we've spent 20 years pushing pink ribbons to inspire breast cancer awareness in large part so that women won't wait until it's too late to get checked. But there are thousands of women out there right now who have masses and are overdue to get checked but keep getting their appointments pushed out. At least some of those women have breast cancer. And we've decided, or rather it was decided for us with plenty of help from a media seemingly eager to watch our country suffer, that fighting COVID-19 means accepting worsening health issues and preventable deaths among anyone who doesn't have it.
And breast cancer is just one example. There are many more that healthcare experts could tell us about. And many of the health problems we're being forced to ignore are ones we know how to treat. But their victims are forced to sit at home and do nothing while their own potentially fatal but often treatable health issues go untreated and in many cases get worse.
That's happening all across America right now. And we don't know what the downstream effects will be once this is all over. We don't know how much worse peoples' existing, emerging and new health issues will have gotten that went untreated while we all stayed home, hiding from COVID-19 and pretending that meant we were beating it.
And I really want to avoid being overly partisan in this piece (even though I freely admit I am a partisan), but academia is largely run by people who ascribe to liberalism. It's just true, and everyone knows it. And frankly, on their advice, we've been fighting the war against COVID-19 like a bunch of liberals. We're afraid of COVID-19 and trying to appease rather than defeat it, while simultaneously affording zero deference to all the unintended consequences and carnage left in the wake of our big government solution.
Many of us have long trumpeted the merits of "herd immunity," which is what happens when a virus can no longer spread because the vast majority of people in a specific geographic region already got, recovered from and can thus no longer spread it. We've recommended quarantining the elderly and immunocompromised, and letting the rest of America get back to work so we can actually beat this thing by establishing herd immunity. (Not to mention restarting our economy!) It won't take long for virtually everyone to get infected. And as we've all heard by now, many or even most of us won't even know it happened! Many others will have very mild symptoms no worse than a few days of cold or flu. And yes a tiny fraction among us will have more serious symptoms.
But unfortunately, given the political partisanship that's so rampant in our country, that solution no longer appeared viable. As I wrote recently…
Others argue that quarantining the elderly and immunocompromised would do far less damage to our nation's social, economic and mental health and far more damage to the virus's potency as herd immunity is realized — but that's no longer a viable option because the media has won that battle. As a result, anyone who actually leans in to promulgating herd immunity and targeted quarantining as a solution would forever be branded a war criminal and personally responsible for literally every death that followed his or her orders.
I wrote that a week ago, but President Trump mentioned it just yesterday (4/10/20) at his daily press briefing. Paraphrasing, he said something like: "Even if we wanted to do that we couldn't. Because do you think Jim Acosta, or Peter Alexander, or every other journalist in this room would let us? If we went that route and everyone started getting sick, you'd all be screaming and yelling and calling us crazy." His point wasn't that the media cared whether people live or die. His point was that they'd sensationalize and exploit the negative aspects of the fallout. And they'd demonize anyone who pointed out the long term gain, and/or that the alternative is to keep everyone locked in their homes for at least the next year (probably longer) and ultimately destroy the United States.
But I had an idea and really think President Trump should consider this as he heads toward that difficult decision.
He should either replace or supplement the daily press briefings with a televised roundtable to discuss our national go-forward strategy. And here's the kicker. Here's the important part that would actually help our nation on two huge fronts…
He should have Republicans at the table, obviously.
He should have Democrats at the table, obviously.
He should have healthcare experts at the table, obviously.
And he should have leaders from America's largest news outlets at the table.
"Whoa. WHAT?!"
Yes. Despite their laughable claims of impartiality, the media has become one of the most powerful political vehicles in the country. To be honest, and I'm sorry but I'd written about it for months and am not going to hide from it now when it matters most, if it weren't for support from the massively powerful media then the Democrat party as we know it today would cease to exist. The media do virtually all of the Democrats' most potent fighting for them. The media select and sensationalize and amplify the most anti-Trump/GOP stories they can find, and dismiss or downplay any pro-Trump/GOP stories that might somehow breach their gates. So if we're going to find a go-forward strategy for America, and we want buy-in and accountability from everybody so it's not made worse by partisan politics, then Trump's team should demand media leaders be at the table also (NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox News, CNN, WaPo, NYT). It's less about getting their input and more about putting sunlight on their role in American politics, and holding them and their outlets accountable for the reporting that will follow. And then at that roundtable we make everyone aware of the choices we have…
1). Keep everyone locked in their homes for at least the next year, but probably longer. Existing and otherwise treatable healthcare problems get worse, mental health gets worse, the economy gets worse, thousands more businesses shutter, and we add tens of trillions more to the debt and deficit. Then at some point maybe in a year or so, we eventually find cures and vaccines and somehow figure out how to get those to everyone all at one time. And then we can get back to work and re-start our economy with the critical contribution of all our citizens.
2). We quarantine the elderly and immunocompromised and let the rest of America get back to work immediately. We level with the American people; tell them that doing so likely means they will contract COVID-19 if they haven't already. But we also give them honest interpretations of the data instead of the fear mongering we've been fed all this time. (Fact: The "death rate" we're tracking has been entirely useless this whole time because the two variables that are used to factor it — the total number of deaths divided by the total number of cases — are both deeply flawed in ways that inflate the death rate. The truth is, we have no idea how many people got it because we don't know who had no symptoms. And we don't how many deaths it caused because we're counting everyone who died with it as having definitely died from it. And those are dishonest interpretations and factoring of the data intended, we can only surmise, to scare us.) So we level with the American people: We expect that most of you will get it. But to be clear: that's the idea. Many or even most of you won't even know you got it. Many others of you will have mild symptoms that mirror a cold or flu. A very small fraction of you will have more serious symptoms but if our elderly and immunocompromised do their part, and we all help them stay safe by practicing social distancing and making it easier for them to do so, then we can spare those who we know are most vulnerable to the virus. And eventually, probably in just a few short months, the vast majority of our nation will have had it and that means they can't get it again or spread it. And that's really where we want to be. That's the goal. That is how we win without sacrificing literally every other shred of our nation in the process.
Those are the choices. They're not actually binary and can be calibrated, but those are the broad strokes for each.
So President Trump should have that discussion transparently with Republicans, Democrats, healthcare experts and media leaders. And he should make everyone contribute to that discussion with their own thoughts, ideas, feelings, etc. And he should work to get buy-in from everybody. Let Americans watch and listen as they discuss it. And as the choices become clear to us (we'll want to beat this instead of hiding from it), seek to get everyone at the table to agree that they'll do their part to help instead of exploiting or politicizing it.
As noted early on, we won't win every battle. But this is how we win the war. And what we've done all this time didn't actually change anything. It was one long pause button. But it was one that came with absolutely devastating collateral damage. People worry about worst case scenarios. We literally shut America down. It's closed. And there isn't a ventilator big enough to save the United States from the sickness we just foist upon it. Our nation is dying. And we can't keep this up. That, to many of us, is a worst case scenario of even greater consequence than fatalities that arise amid the onset of a new virus that we can otherwise handily beat with nature's cure: herd immunity.
If we want to actually win the war, we have to stop hiding and instead stand up and fight this thing face to face. And as President Trump weighs his difficult decision he should bring everyone to the table, including and perhaps especially media leaders who do the Democrats' most effective fighting for them, to have that discussion transparently in front of the American people so we can all be informed and make the decision together.

The Wuhan corona-virus has now reached every corner of the world, but not Beijing, or Shanghai. Wuhan was sealed off from the rest of China, but only after untold thousands of Chinese were allowed to travel the globe.
To date, the virus has ruined economies around the world. Nations have closed their borders. Tens of thousands have lost their lives, countless people are locked down in their homes. Paris, New York, Berlin, Delhi, Mumbai, Tokyo, all the world's major economic and political centers are now closed to business, but Beijing where China's leaders, including their military leaders & Shanghai, China's economic capital where the rich & powerful people who run the major industries live show no sign of the virus. There is no lock down in either Shanghai, or Beijing.
The Corona-virus is most likely a bio-chemical weapon released in a limited, asymmetrical act of warfare in order to gain economic supremacy. No less than four separate Chinese generals have written books describing & advocating this very type of asymmetrical warfare. It is possible the virus spread through negligence, but that hardly explains its containment within China proper, while authorities simultaneously allowed it to spread abroad. Nor does it explain China's refusal to allow scientists into the labs & the recent expulsion of all western journalists.
Meanwhile, the Chinese have been buying up British and American companies crucial to the global supply train at bargain basement prices.

Israel snubs talks with building plans -Abbas aide
Read more: Mahmoud Abbas, settlements, East Jerusalem, peace talks
RAMALLAH, West Bank, Dec 2 (Reuters) - Israel's plans for new building near East Jerusalem show it does not want to resume peace talks with the Palestinians, a spokesman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said on Thursday.
The United States has been trying to revive direct negotiations between Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu but weeks of diplomacy have yet to yield a breakthrough.
The Palestinians want Israel to halt all construction on land where they aim to found an independent state, including areas in and around Jerusalem captured by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war.
This Israeli signal shows that they are not willing and not ready for any deal in order to resume the negotiations, Nabil Abu Rdainah, Abbas's spokesman, told Reuters, condemning plans announced on Wednesday for 625 new homes in Pisgat Zeev.
Pisgat Zeev is built on West Bank land Israel annexed to its Jerusalem municipality immediately after the 1967 war. The annexation has never been recognised internationally.
Israel sees Pisgat Zeev and other districts it has built in and around Jerusalem since 1967 as part of its capital. The Palestinians regard them as settlements, a view supported by the European Union.
Israel's building in and around Jerusalem has strained its ties with the United States this year. Washington says such building does not help peace negotiations.
Abbas and Netanyahu held three rounds of direct talks in September but the Palestinians withdrew from the negotiations three weeks after they started when Israel lifted restrictions on settlement building in the West Bank.
Netanyahu had imposed the restrictions for 10 months. He has faced strong opposition within his cabinet to any further curbs on settlement building. His government is dominated by parties that support the settlers, including his own Likud.
The United States has been in talks with Israel over a set of incentives designed to produce another settlement freeze that would allow the talks to resume.
Referring to the Pisgat Zeev building plans, Abu Rdainah said: It looks like this is an Israeli message to the Palestinians and the Americans that they are refusing any deal resuming the negotiations. (Editing by Andrew Dobbie) (Reporting by Tom Perry; editing by Andrew Dobbie)

Sweet Twist To Close
by Elizabeth McNamara | Oct 6, 2020
The owners of Sweet Twist, a local go-to spot for gifts and sweets, have decided to retire and are closing the business after a 26-year run. But first, they are holding an "everything must go" sale that starts Wednesday, Oct. 7 (details below).
According to Mary Lada, who owns the shop with her sisters Sheila Vinacco (who started the business) and Ann Ross, the decision to retire has nothing to do with COVID. They made the decision a year ago and had planned to hold a closing sale after Easter last spring. The pandemic changed things.
"When the Covid closures were announced we rallied and created a completely new website and offered curbside pick up. Our very loyal customers and many new customers helped us through," said Lada.
Now it really is time to step away, she said.
"We are very excited to move on to our next chapter and enjoy our families and friends.
Sweet Twist started when Vinacco started dipping pretzels in chocolate, creating sweet "twists." She added chocolate-covered apples and conducted business from a small space at 5 Division Street.
In 2003, Vinacco – now with her sisters in on the business – "took a giant leap and moved into our current home" at 5707 Post Road. It's been a great ride.
In the video they created to explain their plans, they said, "We will miss all of you and cherish the years to come."
The retirement sale will continue until their inventory is gone, starting Oct. 7 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. After that, hours are Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays noon to 5. Face masks are required and they will limit capacity to 10 patrons at a time.

Published by Rachel Lacey on 25 March 2019.
Shell says 100% of its electricity is sourced from renewable sources such as wind, solar and biomass and this will be the standard on all tariffs offered to customers.
Customers will also get discounts at Shell service stations across the UK.
This includes a 3% discount on fuel at Shell petrol stations via its Shell Go+ rewards programme - up to 60 litres a month per household.
Shell Energy also says it will start offering a range of 'smart technologies' to households over the coming year including smart thermostats and electric vehicle charging points.
Customers that pick a three-year fixed-price contract, will get a free Nest E smart thermostat.
The firm is offering a discount on an electric vehicle charger. The NewMotion Home Fast charge point will be sold for £349, a discount of £60. This price includes standard installation, six months of free access to smart services and the OLEV government grant.
It is also set to offer broadband packages to customers.
The move follows Shell's acquisition of challenger energy supplier First Utility in February 2018.
Commenting on the rebrand, Rik Smith, energy expert at uSwitch says: "As First Utility they were one of the more well established challenger suppliers in this country, but the Shell brand will be even more recognisable to energy customers.
"Shell Energy must develop a much longer-term relationship with these customers than previously, when people's main engagement would be when they topped up with petrol. Shell now has responsibility for meeting smart meter targets, growing their share of a new market by offering great customer service day in day out, and helping to reduce emissions from electricity supplies.
"The proposition they have unveiled today is undoubtedly attractive from a consumer point of view, but also designed to help them meet their various obligations.
"Likewise, the focus on electric vehicles and smart home technology all point towards the revolution which is taking hold in the way electricity is supplied and used in our homes, and Shell's desire to get ahead of the game."
Is it possible in reality to source energy, in this case electricity from renewables? The electrons that I use come from the electricity dumping ground called 'the grid' where all sources feed? To directly source you would need a separate grid for renewables? What am I missing? That said it's great Shell are take some initiative! Well done Shell!

BTS' Rap Monster hints at alternate version of "I NEED U" MV
Rap Monster, leader of BTS, has dropped more hints on their ongoing promotions and revealed that there might be another version for their track, "I NEED U." Recently making their comeback with the release of their 3rd mini-album The Most Beautiful Moment in Life Part 1, along with its music video, it seems like an alternate version featuring unused scenes.
Following the the release of the music video, Rap Monster made the following statement through their official Twitter account saying, "Everyone, right now I can't show you but sometime the deleted scenes will be shown. You will surely be able to watch those scenes. Please look forward to it!" The tweet further included unseen cuts not included in the original video released.
The music video was initially given with 19+ rating and had to be edited to a 15+ prior to its release. It explored the conflicting emotion felt when longing for someone who is so beautiful but so cold. The melancholy tone and the sheer intensity of their emotion and insecurity of this video was very present and brought a refreshing new perspective of the group's versatility as artists. It has also offered fans a different side of the group, choosing to shy away from their playfulness or intense concepts and choreography.
This mini-album is the third and final part of their "School Life" themed trilogy and focuses on the anxiety and insecurity felt amongst youths as well as the importance and beauty of this time in a young person's life. This is the first time that the group tackled the topic of love into their lyrics.
Meanwhile, since the release of the track and music video for "I NEED U," BTS ranked 1st on various music charts.
Could the possible alternate version of the video give us a different story?

Within the miniature chip is the processing circuitry to provide outputs in absolute SSI, incremental, linear voltage, tacho and UVW formats with resolutions to 12 bit. The zero position can also be selected at point of installation.
Programming is possible over the two wire interface (TWI), which is compatible with the I2C protocol. The TWI allows to interconnect up to 128 individually addressable devices using only two directional bus lines. The chip can operate with either 3 V or 5 V power supply and can be put into a power down state designed for battery powered applications.
This chip uses the proven OnAxis™ sensing principle. The encoder IC senses the position of a diametrically polarized magnet placed above the chip.
As the magnet rotates an array of Hall sensors within the chip produces a voltage representation of the magnetic field distribution. Subsequent internal processing isthen used to produce the required output signal format and resolution.
With such a flexible design the AM4096 can be used in a wide range of non-contact position or velocity measurements, such as motor motion control and commutation, robotics, camera positioning, various encoder applications, battery powered devices and other demanding high resolution applications.

UNCASVILLE – Innovation coach Matt Lance said Saturday's CIAC Division V championship belonged to his players. Carlos Gonzalez, Innovation's senior point guard, thought the fans deserved a piece of it.
The undercurrent of family at the Academy of Science and Innovation magnet school in New Britain was unmistakable Saturday after the top-seeded Ravens defeated No. 3 Old Lyme 62-41 at Mohegan Sun Arena. The Ravens put a bow on a 24-2 season that included the Capital Region Athletic League regular-season and tournament titles.
Both programs were making their first appearance in a state tournament final. Old Lyme's program has been around for decades. This was just the sixth varsity season for Innovation.
CIAC WINTER CHAMPIONSHIP SCOREBOARD
"To see where we are now," said Lance, who has coached the Ravens four of their five years, "it almost (hasn't) hit me. I'm kind of in disbelief."
Lester Manuel scored a game-high 15 points for the Ravens, who overcame a game-opening 10-2 run by Old Lyme, took the lead for good midway through the second quarter and never looked back.
"We come from a small school, but everyone in the school wanted this to happen," said Gonzalez, who took the championship plaque, ran toward the throng of Ravens and held it above his head for all to see. We had a pep rally on Friday and everybody was into it. We couldn't do it without them. The fans are like our sixth man. They're part of the team. "
The Ravens shot 52 percent from the field. L.J Hazelwood had 14 points and a game-high nine rebounds for Innovation and Ramiesh Bogle added 11 points, eight rebounds, five assists and four steals. Gonzalez chipped in seven points, five rebounds and three assists.
Brady Sheffield and Ray Doll scored 11 points each to lead Old Lyme.
The early advantage Old Lyme (21-6) built fell away quickly when the Ravens began to apply pressure in the open court. They were relentless, and when the Wildcats broke the press they struggled mightily from the floor – 14 of 56 (25 percent) for the game, with only nine field goals in the last three quarters.
Old Lyme also could not take advantage of second chances. They had 36 rebounds, 19 on the offensive end.
"I think the big issue is we tried to score too quickly instead of taking it possession by possession," coach Kirk Kaczor said. "We didn't play our best basketball. Their defense causes a lot of that because they play such harassing defense. Sometimes we made good penetration, but we just couldn't finish anything.
"Between that and their defensive pressure causing turnovers, we had a rough day."
The first quarter ended with Gonzalez hitting a 3-pointer at the horn for Innovation's first lead, 12-10. Old Lyme didn't score over the final 3:33 of the quarter.
"Once it went up in the air, I knew it was going down," Gonzalez said.
The Wildcats' last sniff of the lead came when junior guard Brady Sheffield scored underneath to tie it at 13 with 6:21 to go in the first half. From there, a 17-5 run by the Ravens, capped by Bogle's 3-point shot, gave them their biggest lead of the half, 30-18 with 1:48 left.
Old Lyme went to the break only down seven after scoring the final five points of the half on buckets by Aedan Using and Ritchie and a free throw by Olin Frederiks.
Innovation's defense limited any major impact Using tried to have, especially close to the rim. The high-scoring junior center finished with eight points on 3 of 13 shooting.
"Everyone knows about Aedan and he fights for what he gets all the time. They did a good job on him," Kaczor said.
Old Lyme's hope of adding to its end-of-half spurt at the start of the third quarter and getting back into the game did not come to pass. Innovation held the Wildcats scoreless until the 3:45 mark while tacking on eight points for a 38-23 lead, its largest of the game at that point.
Lance challenged his players at halftime to turn it up a few notches, especially on the glass, and he called their second-half performance on that end "special."
Old Lyme got no closer than 12 – 44-32 on one of two free throws by Using – with 55.7 seconds left in the third quarter.
"We were up seven and coach told us it was nowhere near the potential we can play at," Gonzalez said. "We knew if they were going to hit us, we had to hit harder. It was a battle of the boards. Whoever did the dirty work and got the loose balls was going to come out on top."
Frederiks, one of three seniors in Old Lyme's regular rotation, said he was proud to have made it to the program's first state final. The team's run to the championship was especially gratifying, he said, after parents and current and past players convinced the district to keep Kaczor as coach after his contract was not renewed initially last summer.
"Looking back on the year as a whole, our team really came together and played for each other and played together. We cared about each other more than anything. It just goes to show how much of a family our team really is," Frederiks said.
"Coach has always said, 'These kids are part of my family.' I personally believe our situation is very unique after what happened last summer. It just shows how much we care about each other and value each other."

Discussion in 'Modern foreign languages' started by danniellaleigh, Apr 17, 2018.
As a mfl person I would say that irregular exposure to any language will always inhibit progress. 10 minutes every day would actually be better than 1 50 minute session once a week. if one wants children to make any progress.
When I was advising a school how to cope with the mfl requirement I did a half hour session with games and left ideas for how any new vocab could be practised during the week. eg during registration, during PE etc and the games as a 'reward' for when work was finished.
bonxie and danniellaleigh like this.
If you want good progress, lessons need to be timetabled in for every week, every year. Twenty minutes three times a week works better for retention than a one hour slot each week. It also means that if one short lesson gets lost due to time pressures, the class won't have lost all of their French for the whole week - which often happens if it's scheduled as a whole hour lesson. Add in embedding where you can, e.g. doing the date, weather, greetings each morning (but not as part of the French lesson which introduces/practices new vocabulary).
If staff aren't confident on planning their own French lessons, use a scheme to make the task much easier for them and to ensure progression as pupils move up the school. Light Bulb Languages is good: http://lightbulblanguages.co.uk/resources-pr-fr-schemeofwork.htm#y4 It has lesson plans and the resources to go with them ready to download. It's also free and regularly added to.
http://www.french-games.net is not a scheme but is useful for introducing new vocabulary and for the pupils to practise with. Their 'beginners level' is suitable for primary pupils and it has over 50 topics.

Can you convince the teachers to do the register in french?
Or respond to the register in colours/items in the pencil case etc.
A simple way of getting in some daily practise. Not sure though- I am not a MFL specialist.
I agree withe the other comments. It needs regular exposure to be of any use at all. Doing a French week or day can be good to raise awareness, and certainly there is some value in this on a superficial level, but as a way to teach anything that will stick, it's next to useless.
Certainly what I did. Each week we would have a maximum of 6 responses to choose from. Each child had to say something different to the previous response and hold up a picture of the 'word', whilst saying the word correctly. These were spread out on the tables. could be used for 'Kim's game' / Snap etc as well as to practice vocab.

I wouldn't give up on your idea. How about using the French day once a term to be what makes the lessons each week have a point? So if you are worried about the MFL being squeezed out, you've built it in so that what they have to do on the big day each term needs developing throughout the year? A play? A song? A cafe? An art exhibition?
A 'display' of learning day is fine, but if you think that once a term will enable any real learning to take place, you need to do a little and often approach.
Thank you again for your response. I've got a lot of ideas now and I've even put together a list of classroom routines that could be introduced though ks1 too!

TWO NIGERIAN LADIES FOUND GUILTY OF TRAFFICKING GIRLS FOR PROSTITUTION IN IRELAND
Two Nigerian women, who ran a prostitution ring from a base in Mullingar have been found guilty of human trafficking offences in what is believed to be the first conviction of its type in Ireland, TheJournal reports.
44-year-old Alicia Edosa and Edith Enoghaghase, 31, were each found guilty on two counts of trafficking women into Ireland on dates between September 2016 and June 2018, following a six-week jury trial at Mullingar Circuit Criminal Court.
The jury of ten men and two women also convicted them of a single offence of organizing prostitution as well as a series of money laundering offences. While Enoghaghase's husband, Omonuwa Desmond Osaighbovo, 30, was found not guilty of a single charge of prostitution but guilty of four money laundering offences.
The trial heard evidence from four women who claimed they were forced into prostitution in Ireland after undergoing a voodoo ceremony in Nigeria. The victims provided dramatic evidence of long, harrowing journeys from Nigeria via north Africa and southern Europe before arriving in Ireland.
One witness gave evidence that she was trafficked into Ireland on a promise by Edosa of earning up to €3,500 per month by working as a shop assistant but was forced into prostitution within days of arriving in Ireland which had been described to her as "the land of milk and honey".
The 26-year-old mother of one said she had felt betrayed by Edosa who had arranged her travel from Nigeria to Ireland via Libya and Italy. She recounted how she had been raped in Tripoli and used a false Irish passport to get through immigration at Dublin Airport.

The trial heard that Edosa had kept €44,000 of the woman's earnings while also threatening to kill her son and entire family back in Nigeria if she did not follow instructions.
She recounted how if she collected €1,000, she was only allowed to keep €10 for herself which sometimes left her starving for days. She said she would never have left Nigeria if she knew that she would end up working as a prostitute in Ireland.

Home Politics If Democrats want to retake the House, they need to win big...
If Democrats want to retake the House, they need to win big in Virginia
Last year, Virginia offered the first sign that anti-Trump backlash could propel Democrats to previously unimagined electoral gains. This year, Democrats have a prime opportunity to win big in Virginia again — and put themselves on track to retake the House.
Virginia ranks just a notch below California and Pennsylvania among the crucial states for Democrats to get a majority. Election prognosticators think the party has a shot at four of Virginia's 10 congressional seats, including that of one of the most conservative members of the House.
But which candidates they pick in the June 12 primary will be important too. Here's a quick breakdown of the Virginia primaries that really matter.
Virginia's Second Congressional District: Democrats favor another female veteran to challenge Scott Taylor
Who is the Republican? Rep. Scott Taylor, former state legislator, first elected in 2016. He voted for Obamacare repeal, the tax bill, and a 20-week abortion ban.
Who are the Democrats? Elaine Luria is a former US Navy commander who now runs an art studio. She has earned the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's Red to Blue imprimatur, which means the national party thinks she's shown she can be a credible candidate. She also has the endorsements of Emily's List and End Citizens United.
On Tuesday, her only challenger is Karen Mallard, a schoolteacher who says that President Trump's nomination of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos inspired her to enter the race.
What's the story here? The Cook Political Report considers this a Lean Republican race. But in 2016, though Taylor won handily, Trump beat Hillary Clinton by just 3 points. It's a pretty diverse district too: 68 percent white, 20 percent black, 5 percent Asian, 5 percent Latino.
Taylor is an incumbent, which gives him an advantage, but he is hardly an entrenched one. The left-leaning Public Policy Polling found Luria trailing by just 6 points in an April poll. Based on what we've seen in special elections and in Virginia last year, it wouldn't even take much of a wave to make this race competitive.
Virginia's Fifth Congressional District: an open seat opportunity for Democrats after Tom Garrett stepped down
Who is the Republican? Scandal-plagued Rep. Tom Garrett just announced he would step down in late May. In place of a primary, under the circumstances, the local party nominated Denver Riggleman, a local distillery owner. He has promised to join the archconservative House Freedom Caucus if elected, of which Garrett was a member.
Who are the Democrats? Like the Republicans, Democrats elected to have a nominating convention instead of a primary election. They picked Leslie Cockburn, a former reporter who supports Medicare-for-all.
What's the story here? Cook rates the Fifth District, which represents a big middle chunk of the state just west of Richmond, as Lean Republican and R+6. But the district did vote for a Democrat in the 2008 blue wave, and the GOP just lost the incumbency edge when Garrett retired. Then again, Trump won here by 10 points in 2016. This isn't the suburban Republican, Never Trump kind of district propelling so much of the Democratic hopes in 2018. It's a bit of a long shot, but Democrats could have a chance here in November, though it would be their biggest lift.
Virginia's Seventh Congressional District: Dave Brat suddenly finds himself in jeopardy
Who is the Republican? Incumbent Rep. Dave Brat. He is a former college professor who famously ousted then-House Majority Leader Eric Cantor from the right in 2014. He's one of the most conservative members of the House.
Who are the Democrats? Abigail Spanberger is considered the favorite. She's a former federal law enforcement officer and CIA operative and has amassed support from a lot of local leaders. She is facing Dan Ward, a retired military colonel. It's worth noting that in Democratic primaries where the top choices are a man and a woman, women have been winning a lot.
What's the story here? Brat is an archconservative who knocked out an establishment Republican, but his district is changing. Trump won by 6 points here after Mitt Romney won by 11 in 2012. It swung 8 points toward Democrats in the governor's race last year. There are a lot of younger, more affluent, and better-educated voters in the district, which covers parts of the Richmond suburbs.
According to Cook, it's an R+6 district, so this is far from a slam-dunk for Democrats. But party operatives insist they genuinely believe they could remove one of the furthest-right members of the House in a wave year.
Virginia's 10th Congressional District: Barbara Comstock is one of the country's most vulnerable House Republicans
Who is the Republican? Incumbent Rep. Barbara Comstock, first elected in 2014 and long pegged as one of 2018's most vulnerable Republicans. A former Bush administration official, Comstock voted against Obamacare repeal but for the tax bill. It's the latter that could land her in trouble, since the individual mandate repeal is being cited by insurers as a big reason for coming premium hikes for 2019. She does have a primary challenger: Shak Hill, a former Air Force officer and ex-Senate candidate running to her right.
Who are the Democrats? State Sen. Jennifer Wexton is probably the frontrunner: She has name identification on her side, and she's well-liked by many different factions. She can also run on Virginia expanding Medicaid. But she has some legitimate challengers: Alison Kiehl Friedman worked at the State Department under President Obama, Lindsey Davis Stover worked at the VA under Obama and on Capitol Hill, and Dave Helmer is a veteran running the farthest to the left.
What's the story here? The 10th sits near the top of Democratic targets in 2018. Cook pegs it actually D+1, and Clinton beat Trump here in the Washington, DC, suburbs by 10 points(!) in 2016. Everybody thinks this is a toss-up race.
Comstock has defied the party on at least one major item — the House Obamacare repeal bill. But Democrats are going to pin premium hikes on her after she voted for the mandate repeal, and they say the tax bill particularly adversely affected Virginia by rolling back the tax exemption for state and local taxes.
She has represented the area in one way or another for nearly 10 years, and she can expect a lot of support from national Republicans. If Democrats are going to take back the House, they absolutely need to beat Barbara Comstock and other Republicans like her.
(Also, we are obligated to mention Nathan Larson, the independent candidate in this race, whom the Washington Post described as being "pro-incest, pedophilia, and rape." He is not a real contender, but he's gotten attention for his repulsive platform, if you want to call it that, as a self-identified "incel" candidate.)
Virginia Senate: Tim Kaine is almost definitely going to win reelection
Who is the Democrat? Incumbent Sen. Tim Kaine, first elected in 2012. Former governor and vice presidential candidate. Dad. Dork.
Who are the Republicans? Libertarian state lawmaker Nick Freitas, former gubernatorial candidate Corey Stewart, and former lieutenant governor candidate E.W. Jackson. It's quite a crew. Stewart keeps getting linked to white supremacists. Freitas has the backing of some high-profile libertarians, like Sens. Mike Lee and Rand Paul. Jackson thinks gay people are sick and yoga is Satanic, and, as a black man, he says he still opposes taking down Confederate monuments. Stewart was ahead in the one poll we've seen, but most voters said they were still undecided.
What is the story? Kaine is almost definitely going to win. Virginia has been trending strongly blue since Trump's election, with Democrat Ralph Northam winning the governor's race last year. Early polling has Kaine over 50 percent and leading any of his three potential Republican challengers by 20 points. Cook says this is a Solid Democrat race. But we had to mention it.

The Knife Announce New Live Album and Concert Film
Live From Terminal 5 captures one of the group's final shows, but its North American release is in jeopardy
Photo by Alexa Vachon
After sharing a handful of creepy teaser videos, the Knife have announced a live film, album, and photo book. Shaking the Habitual: Live at Terminal 5 captures one of the Knife's final live performances behind their last album before calling it quits. The full package is set to arrive in mainland Europe September 1 via Rabid, but its international release is in jeopardy. People in North and South America, the UK, and Asia will not be able to buy the release, due to a "long-running dispute" between the Knife and Brille, their label partner in those territories, according to a press release. International fans will, however, be able to stream the film on the Knife's site from September 1, according to their representative. Check out a preview below.
Brille claims to hold the rights to the film and the album in the above territories. The label's lawyers also promise to block "any attempt by Rabid to release or exploit the Live Album itself independently or via a third party in Brille's Territory." The Knife's management state, "We obviously hope that the dispute will be resolved soon, in that case the album will be available. The dispute concerns both film and album."
The 2014 tour behind Shaking the Habitual saw Karin Dreijer Andersson and Olof Dreijer expanding their live show into a performance involving a 11-piece dance troupe. "In the process of making Shaking the Habitual, we realized that it was time for us to question the concept of the Knife in a wider sense," they said in a press release. "Or, rather, we wanted to challenge the idea of the Knife that had been created somehow. We needed to find a way to do and be what we wanted, taking the commercial dimension of the Knife into account only to be able to find ways to exist outside of it." The film screens on August 30 at the Bio Rio Cinema in Stockholm, Sweden.
The live album and film is accompanied by a limited-edition photo book chronicling the final tour, featuring images by Alexa Vachon. The band is also auctioning off the instruments that were specially made for the tour by artist Bella Rune. She explains they were "created in an attempt to visualize some of the sounds on the album to challenge expected conventions in electronic music." Bella continues, "To me, the instruments are what the album would look like if it took corporeal form..." Proceeds from the instrument auctions will go towards the No One Is Illegal Network, an organization that "works to provide practical support to people who are forced to live undocumented after having had their applications for asylum refused."

The changes that have happened in this building over the last year are phenomenal. The staff is so caring and friendly and truly care about the patients and the facility. It's unfortunate that previous issues continue to affect this facilities star rating. I'm very proud of the current staff and am happy and excited to return to work every day!
It was really great I was on the second floor. The nursing staff was awesome. I would like to add all of the employees from the cleaning crew to the administrator "Kevin" deserve an applause from the CEO,president or whom ever is the big boss. I really miss the helpers,assisting the nurses and the folks in the physical therapy area you have the very best therapists Alexis Coffey is the only ones name that I can remember of all the folks that work there.I also would like the nursing staff to have knowledge of how great and awesome I think that they are Michelle on weekends did such a great job for somebody that hadn't been there that long Kevin you should be really proud of your staff.
The facility is one of the nicest I ever seen but the company is not a great one to work for. The administrator is a bully and he wants to create a team of bullies. He threatens his employees with military scare tactics and even goes as far to brag about ruining employees careers. There is nothing wrong with wanting a team of employees who take their job seriously but to degrade and threaten your staff is uncalled for. Corporate has a team of deceitful and conniving Managers. Trust me this is not a great place to work for at all.

The crucial question is this: Who understood the risk inherent in the assumption of ever-rising real estate prices, a risk compounded daily by the creation of those arcane, artificial securities loosely based on piles of doubtful mortgages? Michael Lewis turns the inquiry on its head to create a fresh, character-driven narrative brimming with indignation and dark humor, a fitting sequel to his #1 best-selling Liar's Poker. Who got it right? he asks. Who saw the real estate market for the black hole it would become, and eventually made billions of dollars from that perception? And what qualities of character made those few persist when their peers and colleagues dismissed them as Chicken Littles? Out of this handful of unlikely--really unlikely--heroes, Lewis fashions a story as compelling and unusual as any of his earlier bestsellers, proving yet again that he is the finest and funniest chronicler of our times.

Backstage Notes on the Atmosphere at Recent ROH TV Tapings, More on ROH's Major Hiatus
in ROH News and Rumors
Ring of Honor announced back in October that they will be going on a major hiatus during the first quarter of 2022 so that they can "reimagine" the company and hopefully return with a fan-focused product in April with the Supercard of Honor event. After the Final Battle pay-per-view on December 11 that will be it until April when they presumably return during WrestleMania 38 Weekend in Dallas. You can click here for our previous report on the future of the company.
In an update, Fightful Select has revealed new details on how ROH notified the roster that the company would be undergoing these major changes. It was noted that a company-wide Zoom call was held, which was already a weekly thing, but before this call word came out that the topic of the call didn't sound good. However, there were a lot of non-contracted ROH regulars who were not on the call, and found out like the rest of the world did.
There are varying details on the mood backstage at the most recent ROH tapings, from somber to people exchanging information on where to get booked and future plans, to many planning farewells. There were also many talent taking pictures with each other. The atmosphere was described as positive, but a bit more somber than it was before the announcement.
Veteran ROH employee Caprice Coleman recently spoke with Fightful and said he believes ROH will re-start in April 2022, as they have announced. Coleman also said he thinks this will be ROH's best effort.
