South-Carolina Gazette and Country Journal (July 31, 1770).
"The Gentlemen who please to favour us with their Subscriptions, shall have their Names carefully published in an alphabetical List."
Like many books, maps were often published by subscription in the eighteenth-century. Mapmakers published subscription notices to incite demand as well as gauge interest in their projects. Doing so also allowed them to avoid some of the risk inherent in the enterprise. Upon attracting a sufficient number of subscribers, they moved forward with confidence in the financial viability of the project. On occasions that they lacked subscribers, they knew that it was not worth the time and resources required to publish a book or print a map. Subscription lists also gave them a sense of how many copies to produce in order to avoid producing a large quantity that did not sell and counted against the financial success of the venture.
In the summer of 1770, James Cook and Tacitus Gaillard published "PROPOSALS FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR THE DRAUGHTS Of SOUTH-CAROLOINA," their subscription notice for a map of the colony. They presented this undertaking as a community endeavor, first noting that their work "has met with the Approbation of the Honourable the COMMONS HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY" and stating that they hoped their "Proposals will merit the Favour of the Public." Subscribers did not need to contact Cook and Gaillard directly. Instead, they designated local agents who gathered names on their behalf, listing them at the conclusion of the advertisement. Those agents included several prominent merchants and planters as well as Peter Timothy, the printer of the South-Carolina Gazette. In addition, "sundry other Gentlemen of each Parish" also accepted subscriptions and reported them to Cook and Gaillard. The mapmakers gave the impression that their project already had the support – and the financial backing through subscriptions of their own – of some of the most prominent men in the colony.
Cook and Gaillard offered subscribers an opportunity to join the ranks of those prominent men … and to enjoy public recognition that they had done so. "The Gentlemen who please to favour us with their Subscriptions," the mapmakers promised, "shall have their Names carefully published in an alphabetical List, unless they desire the contrary." Books and maps published by subscription often featured such lists that acknowledged the benefactors that made the projects possible. Publishing subscription lists drew together in one place all the members of the community that supported these projects, giving subscribers the chance to associate with others in a manner that remained visible to the public long after they subscribed, paid for, and collected their books and maps. These lists became lasting records of which colonists supported the publication of books and maps. Cook and Gaillard's marketing strategy suggested that securing a spot on their subscription list was nearly as alluring as acquiring a copy of their beautifully rendered map. Subscribers purchased prestige along with the map.

New-York Gazette and Weekly Mercury (July 30, 1770).
"TO BE SOLD, By ELIZABETH VAN DYCK."
The front page of the July 30, 1770, edition of the New-York Gazette and Weekly Mercury featured a letter "To the PRINTER" reprinted from the Public Ledger and several advertisements for consumers goods. Many of those notices used the names of the advertisers as headlines, setting them in larger type and often in capitals. At a glance, readers saw that ABEEL & BYVANCK; GEORGE BALL; RICHARD CURSON; Herman Gouverneur; Greg, Cunningham and Co.; PHILIP LIVINGSTON; JOHN McKENNEY; and ELIZABETH VAN DYCK all offered goods for sale to consumers in the city and beyond.
In many ways, those advertisements each resembled the others. With the exception of George Ball and the partnership of Abeel and Byvanck, each advertiser purchased a "square" of space and filled most of it with a short list of their merchandise. Abeel and Byvanck's advertisement occupied two squares and George Ball's four. Each of those longer advertisements divided the list of goods into two columns, as did Richard Curson's advertisement. With minor variations, these advertisements for consumer goods adhered to a standard format.
That meant that the most distinguishing feature of Elizabeth Van Dyck's advertisement was that it promoted a business operated by a female entrepreneur. Women comprised a substantial minority of shopkeepers in colonial American port cities, with some estimates running as high as four out of ten. Yet they did not place newspaper advertisements in proportion to their presence in the marketplace as purveyors of goods rather than consumers. Van Dyck was the only female shopkeeper who advertised in that issue of New-York Gazette and Weekly Mercury, while more than a dozen advertisements for consumer goods deployed men's names as their headlines. No female shopkeepers advertised in the New-York Gazette and Weekly Post-Boy published the same day, nor the New-York Journal three days later.
The representation of the marketplace among the advertisements in New York's newspapers presented it as primarily the domain of men, at least as far as wholesalers and retailers were concerned. Even though women operated shops in the bustling port in the early 1770s, they did not establish a presence in the public prints in proportion to their numbers. When Van Dyck chose to join the ranks of her male counterparts who advertised, she composed a notice that conformed to the standard format. She struck a careful balance, calling attention to her business but not calling too much attention to it. In so doing, she claimed space for herself in the market, both the actual market and the representation of it in the newspaper, while demonstrating that women's activities as entrepreneurs need not be disruptive to good order.

Virginia Gazette [Rind] (July 26, 1770).
"He purposes to return to this LAND of LIBERTY."
In the summer of 1770, William Wylie, a watchmaker, took to the pages of William Rind's Virginia Gazette to inform the community that he would soon depart for Britain. He made "his grateful acknowledgments to those Ladies and Gentlemen, who have hitherto employed him," but he had other purposes for placing his advertisement. He requested "that those who have omitted sending the money for the repairing their watches" would settle accounts before his departure. He did not explain why he was making the voyage, but did state that he needed the money "to accomplish his design, in going to Britain." Wylie also pledged to return to Virginia and wanted former and prospective customers to keep him in mind for their watchmaking needs. He hoped that loyal customers would once again hire him after his temporary absence.
Wylie also injected politics into his advertisement. He proclaimed that he planned "to return to this LAND of LIBERTY as soon as possible," using capital letters for added emphasis for his description of Virginia. Paying to insert his advertisement in the newspaper also allowed the watchmaker an opportunity to express political views in the public prints as he went about his other business. As printer and editor, Rind selected the content when it came to news, editorials, and entertaining pieces, but he exercised less direct control over the content of advertisements. Wylie could have submitted a letter to the editor in which he extolled the virtues of "this LAND of LIBERTY," but with far less certainty that Rind would print it than an advertisement in which the watchmaker commented on his political views in the course of communicating with his customers. Besides, presenting a homily on politics to readers of Rind's Virginia Gazette does not appear to have been Wylie's primary purpose in publishing the advertisement. All the same, he made a deliberate choice to deviate from the standard format for the type of advertisement he placed. Nothing about the goals he wished to achieve required that he opine about politics at all, but Wylie purchased the space in the newspaper and had the liberty to embellish his advertisement as he wished. In turn, readers of Rind's Virginia Gazette encountered political commentary among the advertisements in addition to the news and editorials elsewhere in the newspaper.

Providence Gazette (July 28, 1770).
"JOSEPH AND Wm. RUSSELL."
Joseph Russell and William Russell were among Providence's mercantile elite in the decade prior to the American Revolution. They conducted business at a shop marked by the Sign of the Golden Eagle, a device that became inextricably associated with the Russells. Their name and the sign were interchangeable in advertisements that ran in the Providence Gazette. Sometimes their notices included their names and the sign, sometimes just their names, and sometimes just the sign. When advertisements included just their names, readers knew that they could find the Russells at the Sign of the Golden Eagle. When advertisements directed readers to the Sign of the Golden Eagle, they knew that they would be dealing with the Russells. No matter which configuration appeared in their advertisements, the Russells' use of the public prints to promote their various enterprises enhanced and contributed to their visibility as prominent merchants.
They achieved that visibility with a variety of novel approaches to advertising, including full-page advertisements and multiple advertisements in a single issue. In November 1766, they published what may have been the first full-page advertisement for consumer goods in an American newspaper. (This excludes book catalogs that printer-booksellers inserted into their own newspapers, taking advantage of their access to the press.) In addition, placing multiple advertisements per issue helped keep their names in the public eye, a strategy adopted by a small number of advertisers in the largest port cities. Consider the July 28, 1770, edition of the Providence Gazette. It featured fourteen paid notices and a short advertisement for blanks inserted by the printer. Of those fourteen advertisements, the Russells placed two, one on each page that had advertisements. One of them presented various commodities for sale, while the other offered cash in exchange for potash and salts. The Russells certainly were not the only American entrepreneurs to use the strategy of drawing readers' attention to their names multiple times in a single issue of a newspaper, but they were the only ones who did so regularly in the Providence Gazette, a publication that tended to run fewer advertisements than its counterparts in Boston, Charleston, New York, and Philadelphia. As a result, their advertisements were all the more noticeable because they competed with fewer others for attention.

July 27, 2020 July 27, 2020 Carl Robert Keyes Daily Advert Update	Choice, List Advertisement, New-Hampshire Gazette, Thomas Martin
New-Hampshire Gazette (July 27, 1770).
"TEA … West-India and New-England RUM … handsome colour'd WILTONS."
Thomas Martin advertised an assortment of goods available at his store in Portsmouth in the July 27, 1770, edition of the New-Hampshire Gazette. He listed everything from coffee, tea, and sugar to hammers, nails, and files to handkerchiefs, stockings, and shoes. His inventory was so extensive that his advertisement filled half a column and still concluded with "&c. &c." to indicate that he did not have space to include everything consumers could find at his store. (Colonists used "&c." as an abbreviation for et cetera.)
Like many other advertisements of the era, Martin's notice looked like a dense block of text. To modern readers, this has little visual appeal, but Martin likely focused on other aspects of the advertisement in his efforts to market his wares. In particular, he may have expected the length to attract the attention of prospective customers. Few advertisements for consumer goods and services in the New-Hampshire Gazette occupied so much space. Martin borrowed a strategy from advertisers in larger port cities where newspapers much more often ran such lengthy advertisements for consumer goods. The long list of goods communicated the variety and consumer choice that Martin offered his customers. They could acquire all sorts of grocery items, hardware, housewares, clothing, and accessories during a single visit to Martin's store, combining choice and convenience.
Despite the density of the prose, Martin did deploy a couple of visual elements to aid readers in navigating his advertisement. At various points he inserted lengthy dashes to break what otherwise would have been an undifferentiated paragraph into smaller pieces. He also capitalized two words to draw attention to those products: "West-India and New-England RUM" and "handsome colour'd WILTONS," a popular kind of carpet. ("TEA" was also capitalized, but that was standard for the first item listed in advertisements of this sort.) While Martin did not make elaborate use of typography to lend visual appeal to his advertisement, he did not overlook using it entirely. His advertisement incorporated more variation than the news articles that appeared elsewhere in the same issue of the New-Hampshire Gazette. The effectiveness of Martin's advertisement should be considered in relation to other items, both advertisements and news items, that it ran alongside.
July 26, 2020 July 26, 2020 Carl Robert Keyes Daily Advert Update	Liberty A Poem, Liberty and Slavery, Moses Mitchell, Rusticus, South Carolina Gazette
South-Carolina Gazette (July 26, 1770).
"LIBERTY. A POEM"
"A NEGRO CARPENTER."
On July 26, 1770, at least thirty-one advertisements about enslaved men, women, and children appeared in newspapers published throughout the thirteen colonies that declared independence from Great Britain later in the decade. Those advertisements ran in newspapers in every region of colonial America, not just the southern colonies with the largest populations of enslaved people. In New England, the Massachusetts Gazette and Boston Weekly Mercury carried such advertisements, as did the New-York Journal, the Pennsylvania Gazette, and the Pennsylvania Journal in the Middle Atlantic. In the Chesapeake, the Maryland Gazette and Rind's Virginia Gazette ran more of these advertisements. Purdie and Dixon's Virginia Gazette almost certainly did as well, but the July 26, 1770, edition has not been digitized for consultation by scholars and other readers.
In the Lower South, the South-Carolina Gazette also circulated advertisements about enslaved men, women, and children, including one that offered a "NEGRO CARPENTER" and a "young NEGRO WENCH" for sale. That advertisement ran immediately below an advertisement for "LIBERTY. A POEM. Dedicated to the SONS OF LIBERTY in SOUTH-CAROLINA" offered for sale in the printing offices where Peter Timothy published the South-Carolina Gazette and Charles Crouch published the South-Carolina Gazette and Country Journal, another newspaper that regularly distributed advertisements offering enslaved people for sale or offering rewards for the capture of enslaved people who liberated themselves by running away from colonists who attempted to hold them in bondage.
As the Slavery Adverts 250 Project demonstrates, advertisements about enslaved people were ubiquitous in newspapers printed throughout the colonies. The same newspapers that carried those advertisements also documented the events and debates of the imperial crisis that culminated in the American Revolution. As printers shaped public discourse about how Parliament abused the colonies, they simultaneously profited from publishing advertisements that perpetuated the enslavement of Africans and African Americans. David Waldstreicher offered an overview in "Reading the Runaways: Self-Fashioning, Print Culture, and Confidence in Slavery in the Eighteenth-Century Mid-Atlantic" in 1999.[1] In 2020, Jordan E. Taylor provides a much more extensive examination in "Enquire of the Printer: Newspaper Advertising and the Moral Economy of the North American Slave Trade, 1704-1807."[2] Colonial printers facilitated the slave trade and played an integral role in the surveillance of Black bodies in eighteenth-century America.
Those activities occurred within the same pages of newspapers that ran articles and editorials … and advertisements for consumers goods … that advocated "LIBERTY" for white colonists. Sometimes advertisements about enslaved people and editorials about liberty appeared on different pages, but considering that most newspapers of the era consisted of only four pages (or six when they included a supplement) they were always within close proximity. Such was the case for an advertisement for a "Likely young Negro Girl" that ran in the supplement that accompanied the March 26, 1768, edition of the New-York Journal. The supplement also included letters from "A TRUE PATRIOT" and "POPULUS" that warned that Parliament actively eroded American liberties. In other instances, as Taylor demonstrates, advertisements about enslaved people ran next to articles and editorials that demanded liberty for white colonists. Sometimes advertisements delivered the news, such as a notice about a "new Non-Importation Agreement" that ran immediately above an advertisement offering an enslaved man and woman for sale in the January 25, edition of the New-York Journal.
Other times, advertisements about consumer goods and commerce played slavery and liberty in stark juxtaposition. Consider an advertisement for a "Likely Negro LAD," a skilled cooper, that ran immediately above Nathaniel Frazier's advertisement for "a very good assortment of Fall and Winter GOODS" in the October 3, 1769, edition of the Essex Gazette, published in Salem, Massachusetts. Frazier assured prospective customers and the entire community that he acquired those goods prior to the nonimportation agreement adopted to protest the duties on certain imported goods imposed by the Townshend Acts. Frazier offered white colonists an opportunity to defend American liberties and practice politics via their choices about consumption at the same time that an "Enquire of the Printer" advertisement reduced an enslaved cooper to a commodity to be traded in the marketplace.
The paradox of liberty and enslavement was vividly apparent in the advertisements that ran in the South-Carolina Gazette 250 years ago today. In a single glance, readers encountered an invitation to purchase an ode to "LIBERTY" dedicated to the Sons of Liberty and a notice that perpetuated the enslavement of a Black carpenter and a young Black woman who possessed several domestic skills. This example provides a particularly stark demonstration of unevenly applied ideologies of liberty in the era of the American Revolution and the founding of the nation. Eighteenth-century readers regularly encountered such contradictions in the contents of newspapers.

1997 / Sci-Fi, Horror
Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson
Written by Philip Eisner
Starring Laurence Fishburne, Sam Neill, Kathleen Quinlan and Joely Richardson
A rescue crew investigates a spaceship that disappeared into a black hole and has now returned... with someone or something new on-board.
The following tags are associated with this movie: Outer Space, Entity
Event Horizon (1997)
I'm not huge fan of science fiction, especially the type of stuff that takes place in outer space (with only a few exceptions). Since this movie takes place in outer space, it's not really a setting that excites me or that I typically enjoy, that's the bad part, at least for me. The good thing is, there is quite a bit of horror thrown into the mix. It's not enough to make it a great movie for me, but overall I had a decent time watching the movie.
The first third of the movie is intriguing, it started to drag in the middle for me but then has some exciting scenes toward the end. The effects overall are pretty good although it used a little too much CGI for my tastes even though I was expecting to see that because it is, after all, a futuristic space thriller.
With a cast boasting Sam Neill (1981's The Final Conflict, 1994's In the Mouth of Madness, and one of my favorite non-horror films, Jurassic Park), Jason Isaacs (some of the Harry Potter films and 2016's A Cure for Wellness), Sean Pertwee (2002's Dog Soldiers, 2006's Wilderness, and Gotham), Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix), and Richard T. Jones (long-standing appearances on Judging Amy, a series I rather enjoyed), you would think that Event Horizon could do no wrong. Despite seeing it around three times now, though, I'm still not entirely sold on the film.
I like a lot of what the movie does, especially the psychological torture many of the main characters go through once coming on board the ship. The story is pretty interesting, and while there's not really that many freaky moments, the ones we get work out decently well.
My biggest problem has always been the split-second glimpse we get of the truly gruesome stuff. Sure, one of the characters has a very Hellraiser-esque death, but much of the brutality passes by the screen way too quickly to get a real hold on what we're seeing. In some ways, I appreciate that tactic, because while the audience clearly doesn't see everything, the characters do, allowing their frantic attempts to leave the ship to sort of bolster the feeling of terror the images cause. Even so, especially toward the end, I'd have liked a more clear-cut idea of this other universe, and we never really got that, and instead were teased with images we didn't get to see in full.
Otherwise, if you can ignore a bit of hideous CGI at times, Event Horizon has a decent amount going for it. Neill's not always the best actor here, but he is at least fun ("Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see"), and the inclusion of Isaacs, Pertwee, Fishburne, and Jones more than make up for that. The story is moderately fresh, and despite my issues, I really like a lot about the film. Because of the fact that there's still quite a bit left unanswered, though, I've never loved Event Horizon, and while it's not a bad film, I don't think it's really above average.
Review by Alex Martel
Decently entertaining sci-fi horror story with good special effects that's neither as scary or disturbing as its reputation would lead you to believe. Still, I love its depiction of "Hell" and the the terrible things that the characters go through.
Worth a watch if you're into the genre.

BOULDER, Colo., Dec. 11, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- miRagen Therapeutics (NASDAQ:MGEN), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of RNA-targeted therapies, announced today new interim results from its ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial of MRG-106 in patients with the mycosis fungoides (MF) form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). The data are being presented at the 2017 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, by Christiane Querfeld, M.D., Ph.D., Chief of the Division of Dermatology, and Director, Cutaneous Lymphoma Program at the City of Hope in Duarte, California.
As of December 4, 2017, a total of twenty-four patients had completed at least one cycle of dosing by systemic administration in the second part of the clinical trial.
• Nine of fourteen patients (64%) treated for more than one month showed a 50% or greater improvement in total skin disease as measured by the maximal change in each patient's modified Severity Weighted Assessment Tool (mSWAT) score, which assesses the severity of skin disease over a patient's entire body.
• In patients where an initial response was induced by MRG-106, these responses were generally maintained with continued therapy. Additionally, seven patients had maintained a durable response for four months or longer.
• The magnitude of mSWAT improvements appeared to correlate with amount of time the patient received MRG-106 treatment.
• In patients who showed improvements, these were observed regardless of whether the patient was receiving stable background medication(s) for CTCL or MRG-106 alone.
As of December 4, 2017, MRG-106 had been generally well-tolerated for patients evaluated at dose levels ranging from 75 mg to 900 mg.
• Pain at injection site was reported in some patients after subcutaneous or intralesional administration and was generally minor and self-limited.
The MRG-106 Phase 1 trial consists of two parts. In the first part, patients were treated with 75 mg injections of MRG-106 directly into a specific lesion. These data, which showed a decrease in lesion size for all injected lesions, have been previously presented. The second part employed a multiple dose-escalation design to evaluate 300 mg, 600 mg or 900 mg subcutaneous or intravenous administrations of MRG-106. Patients were allowed to continue background medication provided these have remained unchanged for one month prior to receiving MRG-106. Patients are monitored for safety, and for improvement in skin disease via mSWAT at regular intervals throughout the trial.
MRG-106 is an inhibitor of microRNA-155. In CTCL, as well as certain other blood cancers, microRNA-155 is present at abnormally high levels, and may play a role in the proliferation of blood and lymph cells. miRagen believes therapeutic inhibition of microRNA-155 may reduce aberrant cell proliferation and the tumor growth characteristic of certain types of cancer.

Montenegro: Opposition MP taken from parliament to prison
Early on Friday, after the session of the Montenegrin Assembly, the police arrested opposition Democratic Front member of assembly (deputy) Nebojsa Medojevic.
Source: Beta, Tanjug Friday, November 30, 2018 | 09:47
Nebojsa Medojevic (screenshot)
Medojevic was taken from the Assembly to the Spuz prison, near Podgorica.
Medojevic was jailed on the order of the president of the Higher Court Boris Savic, because he has been for several months refusing to give a statement in a case against him.
The opposition politician and his colleague from the Democratic Front (DF) Milan Knezevic have for months refused to give information about a judge who allegedly offered to, in exchange for EUR 10,000, annul a 2015 verdict concerning an attack on a policeman.
Medojevic can be freed if he makes a statement, or he could be held in prison until further notice, the Montenegrin police announced on Friday.
Milan Knezevic held an unscheduled news conference at one o'clock past midnight to say he would not surrender to the police, and would remain in the Assembly with fellow DF members.
Another member of the Assembly and one of DF leaders Andrija Mandic assessed last night that Montenegro was "on the brink of civil war."
Earlier, the Assembly voted 46 to 15 to annul the decisions of the so-called Podgorica Assembly held in 1918, which resulted in the joining of the Kingdom of Montenegro and the Kingdom of Serbia into a single state.
61 deputies took part in the multi-hour debate. The resolution that was passed had been put on the agenda by the ruling DPS party.

Home Star Wars The Mandalorian The Mandalorian S1:E7 Chapter 7 "The Reckoning" Episode Recap
The Mandalorian S1:E7 Chapter 7 "The Reckoning" Episode Recap
Oh wow. Just wow!
I've heard complaints from some people all season long about "filler episodes". And to some extent I agreed. Chapters 2 and 4, "The Child" and "Sanctuary" respectively, were particular standouts in the "filler" category as they seemed like side stories used to fill out a season and didn't propel the narrative all that much. That is until this episode, Chapter 7 "The Reckoning", came out and tied all of that together by pulling in these characters we met only once and bringing them all back together as a team. In Chapter 1, we were introduced to Kuiil, the Ugnaught who has served a life of servitude and is living free, and IG-11, the assassin droid that The Mando teamed up with and eventually headshotted to defeat the Nikto in order to get to the target. In Chapter 4, we met up with Cara Dune, an ex-shocktrooper who helped The Mando save a village from a local gang. This matters because The Mando is going to need their help.
As usual, consider this your spoiler warning. Recap continues below the poster.
'Cause, see, at the beginning of the episode, we find The Mando in space listening to a new transmission from Combat Carl. Apparently the events of "The Sin" has had lasting repercussions. The Client is pretty pissed and called in more ex-Imperial troops. Nevarro is now overrun with them impeding on Guild livelihood and Combat Carl just wants things to go back to normal. So he makes a deal with The Mando: show up with the quarry, use it as bait to get near The Client, and then The Mando has to kill The Client. Do that and his name will be cleared with the Guild and he and Baby Yoda can leave and live in peace.
Well already it sounds suspicious and not very well thought out because if the town is overrun by Imperials, and they kill The Client, how are they supposed to get out of town? Makes no sense but whatever. Also, it smells like a trap and despite having a bucket on his head, The Mando smells it too. And this is where he goes back to see his previous acquaintances.
First stop is the Seven Samurai planet to find Cara Dune. The Mando can't go in alone and he needs a back-up. They know each other and have a bit of history. We find her in a bar fight where she and her opponent are tethered together with a rope. First person to tap out and deactivate the laser rope loses and the winner apparently gets a lot of credits. I know; it looks as stupid as it sounds. The Mando is trying to convince her to come with him without much luck. She's a marked woman; she gets on any ship and they ID her, it's off to a jail cell. She has no interest in settling a dispute with a local warlord. But The Mando has a ship that can safely ferry her back and forth, and he says the two magic words that changes her mind: "He's Imperial." And with that, she's in.
Off to space they go again. They're in the cargo area checking out their available arsenal. While they're chatting about the mission deets, we see Baby peek out at them upside down from the cockpit hatch. Super cute stuff. He disappears and then suddenly the ship starts bucking like a bronco. They rush up to the cockpit and we finally see Baby Yoda acting like a baby and just wreaking havoc on the controls pulling levers and pushing buttons. Can't keep kids around stuff like that unsupervised. The Mando undoes whatever Baby Yoda did and they come to the conclusion that if this plan is to work, they need a babysitter. Cue Kuiil.
They travel to his planet and after describing their situation to him, they are interruped by his droid servant who is none other than assassin droid IG-11 carrying in a tray of tea. The Mando and Cara both jump to their feet drawing their weapons. After the massacre at the Nikto camp, Kuiil went in and surveyed the area coming across IG-11's body. He took the parts back to his home and rebuilt him rewiring him in the process. It was like IG-11 was a brand new droid, or one that came out of a long term coma. He had to relearn everything, from walking to grasping to avoiding harming others. The Mando ain't buying it though. He firmly believes once an assassin droid always an assassin droid. He was programmed to kill The Child, in his nature, and it can't be just be rewired out of him. The Mando asks Kuiil if he can hire him as a baby sitter. He said he is no longer available for service but he can hire IG-11 for nursing and protocol. Kuill will help The Mando but not for pay but to protect The Child from the old ways of the Empire. You get the sense that Kuiil has seen some **** back in the day. He says IG-11 and the blurrgs will join him. The Mando isn't really okay with that but Kuiil has spoken and that's the end of that conversation.
We're back in space again on our way to Nevarro. The cargo hold probably smells like farm with the livestock in there. The Mando and Cara are engaged in some arm wrestling. Baby sees this, does not like what it sees, and proceeds to force choke Cara. No one knows what's going on until The Mando glances at Baby Yoda and sees its hand stretched out and eyes closed, like he saw at mudhorn valley. He picks up Baby Yoda and yells, "NO! No, no! Stop! We're friends, we're friends. Cara is my friend." Cara regains the ability to breathe and thinks The Child is dangerous. She's not exactly wrong. Kuill, the oldest and wisest of the bunch, understands more now what The Mando went through with the mudhorn. They still don't know what Baby Yoda is or what it can do, but Kuiil, having been around the block a couple of times, has heard stories of force powers. Cara is pissed though, rightly so cause she almost died from an invisible force controlled by Baby Yoda. And she's not taking anything that Kuiil is saying without a fight because it's the only thing she can fight. So she's all like bringing up his past when he "worked" for the Empire and he's all like "I was a slave and paid my way out of the system" and then IG-11, who can protect, stands up and is all giving Cara the stink eye and then The Mando breaks up the tension by asking Kuiil for some of his handiwork that helped pay his way out of slavery. They need a better crib and Kuiil is more than happy to take on the job to prove his point.
Next scene is the Razor Crest landing in a lava field on Nevarro where Combat Carl and a trio of loyal guild members await their landing. Kuiil, Cara, and The Mando disboard riding a trio of blurrgs. Combat Carl sees the tattoo on Cara's arm, signifying her status as a Rebel Dropper, and suggests that she stays with the ship. The Mando says, "nuh-uh" and Combat Carl says, "Fine." They begin traveling across the field until day turns to night and they make camp. Over dinner by campfire, they go over the plan again: they enter the house, sit at the table with The Client, and then The Mando kills him. As soon as the head dies, the rest of the ex-Empire troops will scatter. Doesn't seem likely and it sounds way too easy, amirite? Combat Carl claims that The Client only travels with four guards and assures them that nothing can go wrong. Of course if more ex-Imperial troops are in the city, it's gotta be way more than four right?
As soon as he says "nothing can go wrong" a flying creature swoops down on them and takes some of their food. Everyone springs into action and begin firing at the flying menaces. Combat Carl gets scratched at the arm. One of his bounty hunters gets taken away. A blurrg is taken away. A creatures attempts at another blurrg but gets shot down. The Mando is attacked but he uses his flamethrower to ward it off and then the flying creatures leave as quickly as they came.
Combat Carl is injured and the poison is spreading. Cara patches him as best she can with the single medpac they have between them. Baby Yoda sees what's going on, wanders over, and puts its hand up. Dropper Cara's like get this psycho baby away when wise old Kuiil says hold up. Baby Yoda puts its hand right on the wound and uses the force to heal Combat Carl's arm to the amazement of everybody on both sides of the screen. Exhausted, Baby Yoda collapses by sitting on his rear, the way toddlers do when they can't stand up anymore and just fall on their butts. Everybody just stares at the arm in stunned silence and presumably goes to bed without talking about it because the next scene it's the morning time and they're back to walking towards town.
Combat Carl is whispering to his guards motioning at his arm. The Mando and Cara sense that something's up. Once they get to a randomly designated stopping point, Combat Carl quite noticeably strolls to the edge with his hands on his blasters, turns around and says, "I guess this is it." Then he quickdraws and blasts the two bounty hunters. At this point, I'm yelling "I knew it!" at the TV. It seems that this was a trap all along, that they were going to kill them right there but Carl's had a change of heart. I'm gonna guess it's because the power of the force compelled him. The Client is obsessed with obtaining the asset, and Combat Carl finally realizes why. The Mando and The Dropper are skeptical for good reason, but Carl convinces them they should still go through with the plan because The Mando's situation isn't going to change if they don't and being constantly on the run just sucks. They both have a vested interest in getting rid of The Client, and thus the saying "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" plays out and the two of them decide to team up.
Now the plan changes slightly: Kuiil is going to take Baby Yoda back to the Razor Crest and initiate ground security protocols; Combat Carl is going to escort The Dropper as the one who captured The Mando in to meet The Client, all while towing the empty pram with the canopy closed. Kuiil hands The Mando a commlink and reminds Cara to cover her tats before they part ways. They enter town and right at the front are a pair of Imperial speeder bikes and Scout Troopers. They walk further and further into town and Cara is getting alarmed at the number of troopers she's seeing. There's way more than four but Combat Carl assures her that there are only four troopers guarding the client.
They enter what used to be the Bounty Hunters' Guild building and indeed there are only four troopers inside. The Client makes a comment at how badass The Mando's armor looks. The Client invites Combat Carl to have a drink to celebrate the capture. The Client dredges up the past with The Mando, asking rhetorically why Mandalore resisted The Empire. This guy's pretty bitter because he goes on to say how things could have been compared to how things are now. Next, he asks to see the baby and wants the pram opened. Carl says it's sleeping but The Client says they'll all be quiet. Right then, a stormtrooper walks over and says there's a radio transmission for him. He gets up to take the call, The Mando slips out of his binders, and Combat Carl hands him a blaster. The call is from Moff Gideon who asks The Client if they've brought The Child. The Client says yes and that it is currently sleeping. Moff Gideon tells him to check again and waves his hand.
And with that, the room explodes in laser fire with the first blast going through The Client's chest. Yeah, he ded. All of the stormtroopers in the room fall to the continuous salvo while Combat Carl, The Mando, and The Dropper take cover. When the laser fire subsides, we see a group of Death Troopers just outside and a transport pulling up with even more troopers. Cara, who seems stuck on the number 4, questions again, "4 stormtroopers?". The Mando gets on the commlink and hails Kuiil ordering him to just take the kid and take off. The scout troopers at the front gate overhear the transmission, get on their speeder bikes and takes off after them.
A TIE Fighter comes into view and, in a mind-blowing sequence, lands on the ground behind the stormtroopers by folding its wings in half and deploying landing gear. Cut back to Kuiil where the blurrg he's riding is moving as fast as it with the speeder bikes covering a lot of ground FAST. Cut back to the TIE fighter and the hatch opens up giving us a glimpse of Moff Gideon. He approaches the window looking like a pre-cursor to Darth Vader clad all in shiny black with a chest plate. He demands the quarry. The Mando tries to raise Kuill on the commlink again. Cut back to the speeder bikes with Kuill and the blurrg in view. Kuill is approaching the Razor Crest, the ramp lowers. It cuts back to The Mando trying to get Kuill on the line and Moff Gideon declaring how much the The Child means to him. It cuts back to Baby Yoda laying on the ground; a scout trooper swoops in and scoops it up without missing a beat. The commlink is on the ground, Kuill is on the ground presumably dead along with the blurrg he was riding. and we see the two scout troopers speeding back to town. Roll credits.
This being the second-to-last episode of the season, one expects there to be a cliffhanger. And what a cliffhanger it was! My only hope now is that the final episode cleans it all up WITHOUT leaving us with another cliffhanger to agonize over until S2 starts.
I don't know what it is about the scout troopers, but seeing them at the front archway at the edge of town invoked that same sense of awe in me as I had when I first saw them in Return. And when they started riding across the lava fields and the one that scooped up Baby Yoda was all pretty thrilling.
Jealous Baby Yoda is jealous. It kinda seemed like he was acting out when The Mando was giving attention to Cara when she first boarded the ship and it mashed all those buttons and wailed on the flight stick. Also, the force choke when they were arm wrestling seemed premeditated and not out of protection to The Mando.
My prediction for the finale: IG-11 goes into protection mode and lays waste to the ex-Imperials with the help of the Razor Crest; he rescues our three trapped characters; and Moff Gideon escapes. Baby Yoda ends up back with the The Mandalorian. I'm probably 100% wrong on that. I just want to see IG-11 back in killing mode.

Today, I decided to make a compost bin out of wood pallets. Since I�m going double or nothing and trying to grow 4000 lbs. of fresh produce this year, I figured I better get serious about making every effort to keep the soil healthy.... Find out how to make compost. A compost bin gives you the satisfaction of turning kitchen and garden waste into rich, crumbly compost. This will make your plants and crops thrive � so keep them, and your local landfill site, happy.
And nailing or stapling on some wire mesh (like 14" hardware cloth from Home Depot) on the inside of the bin will help keep the critters out. The pallets are made from treated lumber and will last for years. My only concern about using pallets is that the chemicals used to treat the wood might leach into the compost. This is why I bought a "Soil Saver" compost bin.... Also, keep dog and cat poop, fresh weeds with mature seeds, and treated wood products out of your compost.

Is India Heading towards a Rate Hike?
RBI –Reserve Bank of India is planning for next round of interest rate hike in the month of August. But there are no consensus on the size of the move given the absence of any clear guidance from the Apex Bank.
RBI and Rate Hikes
If the RBI expects that inflation will rise beyond its tolerance limit, it hikes the rate at which banks borrow money from the central bank.
When the repo rate increases, the cost of borrowing for banks also increases, which is passed to their account holders by increasing the interest rate on loans and deposit rates.
This also makes borrowing money from the bank a costly affair, which in turn slows down investment and money supply in the market.
As a result, it limits money supply and brings down the purchasing power of consumers, which helps in controlling inflation.
The repo rate is reduced when the government intends to infuse money into the market and support economic growth, as it did during the lockdown.
How a small increase in repo rate effects?
A small hike in repo rate makes borrowing from the commercial banks expensive. Home loan, vehicle loan, education loan, personal loan, business loan, credit cards, mortgages are all influenced by the rate hike.
When the borrowing cost increases, the common man is discouraged from making unnecessary purchases, thereby reducing the demand for goods and services. This kicks off a chain reaction, leading to a reduction in prices and thereby, the inflation.
This is simply a game of demand and supply, with the repo rate acting as a catalyst.
On the other hand, people who have savings and have a fixed deposit, for example, will benefit from an increase in interest rates.
When borrowing business loans becomes expensive, businesses either reduce or freeze hiring, leading to unemployment. Consumers also put a pause on buying all luxury items including vehicles, which affects the auto industry.
The real estate sector, which was witnessing good pickup in sales due to the low cost of financing, could be impacted by RBI's rate hike move. As banks increase their interest rate, it will result in a further rise in equated monthly instalments for existing borrowers and dent new homebuyer's confidence.
Low-interest rates are unlikely to come back as the Indian government predicts that the country's economy will take at least 12 years to overcome the setback from Covid-19. It said that the ongoing structural changes catalyzed by the pandemic can potentially alter the growth trajectory in the medium-term.
What is Repo Rate ?
Repo (Repurchase) rate is the rate at which the RBI lends shot-term money to the banks. When the repo rate increases borrowing from RBI becomes more expensive.
Therefore, we can say that in case, RBI wants to make it more expensive for the banks to borrow money, it increases the repo rate; similarly, if it wants to make it cheaper for banks to borrow money, it reduces the repo rate.
Higher Inflation and Interest Rates Puts Common man in trouble
The war in Ukraine significantly increased the common man's woes. It elevated commodity prices due to geopolitical tension and affected the global supply-chain, tightening financial conditions globally.
As a result, due to curbs on imports and high demand for essential commodities, everything from food and beverages to clothing and accessories is expensive today.
The common people of India were already struggling to manage their daily expenses with limited purchasing power on a minimum wage.
Due to this soaring inflation, consumers are further losing purchasing power, which is a measure of how many goods or services you can buy with a unit of currency, at a faster-than-usual rate.
Rate Hike in June 2022
The Reserve Bank of India raised its key repo rate by 50 bps to 4.9% during its June meeting, after May's surprise 40 bps off-cycle hike, surprising markets had forecast a 40 bps rate hike, aiming to ensure inflation remains within target going forward while supporting growth.
The annual inflation accelerated to 7.79% in April of 2022, the highest since May of 2014, amid surging food prices. The central bank also raised both the standing deposit facility rate and the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate and the bank rate by 50 bps to 4.65% and 5.15%, respectively.
Rate Hike expected in August 2022
The RBI acknowledged that inflationary pressures have intensified and have become more broad-based. There is a greater pass-through of input costs to product prices.
In addition to goods inflation, services inflation is also picking up. The recent spike in tomato prices, revisions in electricity tariffs, and elevated commodity prices are also adding to the inflationary pressures.
Spillovers from global developments are still unfolding. The price of crude oil, after showing signs of easing, has again inched up to $120 per barrel.
While the UN Food and Agriculture Organization's (FAO) Food Price Index moderated in May, the cereal price index sub-component continued to escalate. The RBI noted that inflation will likely fall below the upper threshold of 6 per cent only by the end of the year.
The RBI has projected inflation to decline from 7.4 per cent in the July-September quarter to 6.2 percent in the October-December quarter, and further to 5.8 percent in the January-March quarter. If inflationary pressures accentuate, there could be revisions to the inflation projections for the second half of the year.
Predictions from the 63 economists polled between July 25 and Aug. 1 ranged from a 25 basis point hike to one of 50 bps when the RBI meets on Aug. 5.
Over 40% of economists, 26 of 63, expected the RBI to go for a hefty 50 bps hike, taking the repo rate to 5.40%. More than one-quarter of respondents, 20 of 63, forecast a smaller 35 bps hike. About 22%, 14 of 63, said 25 bps while the remaining three said 40 bps.
A slim majority of economists, 35 of 63, saw the repo rate already reaching 5.75% or higher by end-year, up 10 bps from a July poll, while the median expectation is for at least 6% in the second quarter of next year. The RBI has raised rates twice so far in this cycle, first catching markets off guard with a 40 bps hike at an unscheduled meeting, followed by 50 bps in June.
The RBI can always reduce the pace of rate hikes from September onwards if inflation and growth momentum softens, but we think it is a risky strategy at this stage to be an outlier in delivering less than 50 bps rate hikes.
The outlook for next year was even less clear, with end-2023 forecasts ranging from 4.75% to 6.75%. With the RBI a relative laggard in the global tightening cycle, India has seen heavy capital outflows, which have helped drag the rupee to lifetime low close to 80 per U.S. dollar.
With the dollar expected to remain strong in the short- to medium-term, the RBI has few options to defend the rupee without burning through foreign currency reserves. Just over half of respondents, 20 of 38, who answered an additional question said the exchange rate is playing a larger than normal role in the RBI's interest rate deliberations.
RBI only has the monetary tools to arrest demand by making money more expensive or by reducing its ssupply. So when it raises the repo rate it translates in to an increase in lending rates for borrowers.
But, it does not have control over supply side issues that also impact inflation. For instance, there has been a major .. disruption of supplies due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, which has raised commodity prices of key items like crude .. oil and fertilizers.
Supply shocks arising out the pandemic and the ongoing geo-political developments have been a cause of concern globally in case of India a significant part of inflation is imported and will require concerned effort to bring under control.
While the RBI is clearly targeting inflation, on the regulatory side, there were a series of announcements that will have a positive impact on the housing sector as well as further encouraging the use of digital payments. Both the RBI and government were steadfast in their approach to support the economy through the challenging period of the pandemic.
Due to these factors, we expect the RBI to increase the repo rate by another 75 bps this fiscal, and take it 50 bps above the pre-pandemic level. This will not, however, hit growth in the real economy with a lag in the current fiscal because as monetary policy impacts the real economy with a lag.

October 1st, 2020 Our History: Blogging Prompts for Ace Week 2020
In the past, we've selected different blogging prompts for each day of Ace Week (for an example, you can check out our prompts from 2019). This year, we're doing things a bit differently, and we've chosen one overarching theme for the entire week.
Our theme this year is "Our History." In choosing this theme, we hope to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Ace Week as well as encourage a moment of reflection on the personal and community histories that brought us to where we are today.
In that spirit, we've put together a list of blogging prompts for the week. Please feel free to use them in whatever way works for you. You can choose one prompt to focus on, pick a different one for each day of the week, or think of your own topic relating to the theme to write about.
Choose a specific topic in ace history and write an informative post about that topic. For example, topics might include: pre-internet ace history, the way our language has evolved over time, the history of in-person ace communities, etc.
Consider ace community history with a focus on intersectionality. How have ace communities supported or failed to support aces who are Black, Indigenous, people of color, disabled, neurodivergent, trans, or any other marginalized group? What can we learn from our past?
What advice do you have for others as they think and write about ace community history?
If you were active or present in ace communities ten years ago, reflect on what has changed and what has stayed the same.
Are there any topics relating to ace community history that you'd like to learn more about? How can we do a better job of preserving and sharing history going into the future?
Reflect on your personal history of identifying under the asexual umbrella. When and how did you know you were ace and find the words to describe your place under that umbrella? What was it like for you before you realized you were ace? How has your self-acceptance evolved over time?
Where were you ten years ago in your journey to accept your ace identity? If you could send a message to yourself from ten years ago, what would you tell yourself?
Reflect on your personal involvement with specific ace communities (a local meetup group, a discord server, etc.). How did your involvement in those communities have an impact on your life?
Are there any moments or topics in ace community history that hold personal importance for you?
What about current ace communities do you want to be remembered in the future? How can we go about preserving this history?
What would you like to see change in ace communities over the course of the next ten years?
Where do you hope to be in ten years, and how does your ace identity have an impact on your hopes for the future?
Thank you to our volunteer Sophie Ciurlik-Rittenbaum for her contributions to this list of prompts.
