August 6 is Friendship Day in India
Posted by Fred on Sun 6 Aug 2017 - 11:06
…and India's Animation Xpress is celebrating it in an especially animation-furry way.
Confused? The United Nations declared July 30 to be International Day of Friendship; as with May Day, some areas have their own traditions.
Baidu India promotes World Environment Day with 'The Last Conversation'
Posted by Fred on Sat 4 Jun 2016 - 19:47
World Environment Day was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1972. It is on Sunday, June 5 in 2016. This year's theme is: "fight against the illegal trade in wildlife", with the slogan "Go Wild for Life", and some search engines are getting on board:
Baidu's India office will launch a new social campaign named "The Last Conversation" to raise awareness of wildlife depletion. The campaign will feature Baidu's mascot, the "DU bear", having a final conversation with different endangered animals through a series of posts on Facebook and Twitter, with the goal of urging people to avoid products that cause harm to wildlife. (Baidu India's 31 May press release)
Baidu's campaign, which started June 1st on Facebook and Twitter, shows the ultra-cute DU bear interviewing critically-endangered species living in India, such as the Himalayan brown bear, as well as other popular species of lesser concern, such as the Bengal fox.
'Billu Gamer': Unfortunately the tiger and elephant don't sing and dance
Posted by Fred on Tue 26 Apr 2016 - 23:03
Okay, here's another stealth movie.
Billu Gamer, a 90 plus minute live-action/animated Hindi comedy-fantasy feature from director/producer/writer Pankaj Sharma at Astute Media Vision, coming in India in May 2016. Sharma says that it's slightly over half VFX and 3D animation.
Patty is a live-action teenage boy at a school where a lot of Bollywood-style singing and dancing goes on. When he's depressed from being bullied, the animated Billu from his favorite video game comes to life to be his best friend. Everything seems great, until the video-game villains follow Billu into the real world. Patty and Billu have to team up in the video world to win. The first half of the trailer is live-action; then the animated Billu and some dog-headed humans appear, and there are an animated tiger and an angry elephant. There's more information at The Hans India.
Tunturu
Posted by Fred on Tue 19 Jan 2016 - 07:43
For the record, funny animals in Kannada (that's Kannada the language, not Canada the country) can be found in Tunturu, a children's magazine published since January 2000, originally bi-monthly but semi-monthly today.
Tunturu has been able to carve for itself an identity of being the most sought-after children's magazine across the age-groups of 5-14 in Karnataka.
If you don't know where Karnataka is, you can look it up. Reportedly an English-language edition is coming soon.
It's ₹8 an issue, but you can subscribe to it in America for $5.99 for three months.
And that's probably more about funny animals in Kannada than you want to know.
'Evolution Man'? 'Animal Kingdom'?
Posted by Fred on Mon 19 Oct 2015 - 00:05
Whee! We're bringing you announcements from Cartoon Brew of lots of international animated theatrical features that will probably never come to the U.S. This time it's a French movie, variously Evolution Man, or, How I Ate My Father or Animal Kingdom: Let's Go Ape, that is being released theatrically in Britain this month.
Is it anthropomorphic? Surely, if you consider pre-homo sapiens primates to be animals. Otherwise? Hard to say from this trailer (which is one of two), but there are at least lots of animals presented in a manner that furry fans should enjoy.
Yes, Disney's 2016 live-action 'The Jungle Book' is anthropomorphic
Posted by Fred on Wed 16 Sep 2015 - 01:29
YouTube has the first teaser trailer of the Disney studio's April 15, 2016 "live-action" (heavily VFX) adaptation of The Jungle Book, directed by Jon Favreau, and it's definitely full of anthropomorphic animals. The voice actors include Bill Murray as Baloo, Scarlett Johansson as Kaa, Idris Elba as Shere Khan, Ben Kingsley as Bagheera, Lupita N'yongo as Raksha, and Christopher Walken as King Louie.
As you can see, it will be a mixture of Rudyard Kipling's 1894-'95 literary classic and Disney's own 1967 animated classic. A lot of this was revealed at Disney's D23 Expo in August, but now you can see it for yourself.
Newly published: Fred Patten's 'Funny Animals and More'
Posted by Fred on Tue 8 Apr 2014 - 06:26
Funny Animals and More: From Anime to Zoomorphics, based on Fred Patten's weekly columns from Jerry Beck's Cartoon Research animation website, was published March 26 by Theme Park Press. It is available in paperback and digital formats, and on Amazon.com.
The book is about animation and comic books rather than specifically anthropomorphic animals, but cartoon and CGI funny animals are a major theme. Topics include anime cat girls; Pokémon and Monster Rancher; Astro Boy and Atomcat; how a popular 1970s anime TV series led to the import of thousands of baby North American raccoons into Japan as pets, whose descendants are ruining thousand-year-old Buddhist and Shinto shrines today; animated Summer Olympics mascots like Misha the bear cub, Sam the eagle, Hodori the tiger, and Cobi the sheepdog, from 1972 to 2012; Patten's favorite childhood comic-book funny animals like Amster the Hamster, Doodles Duck and his nephew Lemuel, Nutsy Squirrel, Dunbar Dodo, and SuperKatt, and how he would still like to see them animated; Crusader Rabbit; rats in animation; Reynard the Fox in animation; and Disney's forthcoming 2016 Zootopia.
FoxyPimples break out in India
Posted by Fred on Wed 19 Feb 2014 - 21:26
The January 23 issue of India's Animation Xpress reports that the makers of anti-pimple cream Garnier Pure Active have hired the FoxyMoron digital advertising agency in Mumbai and Gurgaon to create a Hindi Facebook and YouTube advertising campaign for it. FoxyMoron has used "layered animation" to create "illustrated comic strips of iconic Bollywood characters" disfigured by pimples. It's not anthro, but it is truly you-have-to-see-it weird. [Video 1 - 2]
There is nothing anthropomorphic about this except the name of the creative studio. Are we insulted by the name "FoxyMoron"? Have they ever done anything with cartoon foxes in it? (It probably started out as a play on "oxymoron", but still ...)
Animation: 'Chhota Bheem' comes to the U.S.
Posted by Fred on Mon 20 Jan 2014 - 16:45
On January 18, the 130-minute Indian animated feature Chhota Bheem and the Throne of Bali came to five Big Cinemas theaters in the U.S.:
Peachtree Theatre, 6135 Peachtree Parkway, Norcross, Georgia 30092 (Atlanta)
Golf Glen Stadium, 9180 West Niles Road, Niles, Illinois 60714 (Chicago)
Dos Lagos Stadium, 2710 Lakeshore Drive, Corona, California 92883 (Los Angeles-San Diego)
Movie City 8, 1655 Oak Tree Road, Edison, New Jersey 08820 (NYC)
Big Cinemas Fremont 7, 39160 Paseo Padre Parkway, Fremont, California 94538 (San Francisco)
The notice does not say how long it is playing at each, but probably for one week, so you should have time to see it if you hurry. The news also does not say whether it is dubbed or subtitled in English; it was dubbed in Hindi for its Indian theatrical release last year.
NYC has anthro animation festivals, too
Posted by Fred on Sun 10 Feb 2013 - 01:34
Despite the implication on Flayrah, Los Angeles is not the only city to have festivals of animation with anthropomorphic stars. On February 28th through March 24th, the 16th Annual New York International Children's Film Festival will play at seven different locations in NYC. The Festival will screen 100 different films (some live-action), and is expected to draw an attendance of 25,000+. It will present many of the films in the U.S. for the first time, to qualify them for 2013 Oscars.
Among the films are several that have been covered on Flayrah, including the Belgian Ernest & Celestine, about a mouse and a bear who become friends (French with English subtitles; Feb. 28 at Tribeca Cinemas); The Wolf Children (Ame & Yuki, the Wolf Children), about a college student who marries a werewolf who dies, and must raise their two werewolf toddlers alone (Japanese with English subtitles; March 3 at the Asia Society and 16 at SVA); The Day of the Crows, mostly about a feral child raised in the forest, but with some fantasy scenes of anthropomorphic animal-headed forest spirits (French with English subtitles; March 10 at FIAF); Welcome to the Space Show "with an intergalactic cast of thousands" (premiere of the English dub; March 9 at SVA), and Meet the Small Potatoes, for pre-schoolers about a musical group of animated potatoes who rise from small-town beginnings to international rock stardom (March 16 at the IFC Center and March 24 at the DGA Theater).
Animation: 'Chhota Bheem and the Throne of Bali'
Posted by Fred on Wed 9 Jan 2013 - 16:34
Animation Xpress #415, January 7, 2013, has the first trailer for Indian studio Green Gold Pictures' second Chhota Bheem animated CGI children's feature, Chhota Bheem and the Throne of Bali, following the smash success (in India, in Hindi) of last year's Chhota Bheem and the Curse of Damyaan. As before, the movie is not really anthropomorphic, but it does have Bheem's talking monkey friend Jaggu ("Jaggu is surprisingly kickass"), and the trailer shows lots of evil Rangda's anthropomorphized monsters. Out May 3, 2013 in India, in Hindi.
New from India
Posted by Mink on Wed 24 Oct 2012 - 18:23
Delhi Safari is a new full-length CGI animated feature from India, directed by Nikhil Advani and animated by Krayon Pictures. It tells the story of a group of rainforest animals in India, who find their forest is being destroyed and paved over by human encroachment and construction. They take it upon themselves to travel to Delhi, with the intention of using a "bilingual" parrot (he speaks both human and non-human languages) to voice their complaints about the destruction of their home. The film has been picked up for international distribution by Fantastic Films, and it recently opened for a limited engagement in North America. Filmed in Hindi, the English version of the film features the voices of Jason Alexander, Cary Elwes, Christopher Lloyd, Jane Lynch, Vanessa Williams, and Brad Garrett. Watch the international trailer on YouTube, or visit the Delhi Safari Facebook page.

'Kamlu ...Happy Happy', another Indian animated feature
Posted by Fred on Sun 21 Oct 2012 - 05:22
So the camel can talk. Can he fly?
Have you ever heard of Kamlu ...Happy Happy, a 3D CGI Hollywood-Bollywood co-production directed by Govind Nihalani that will be released on November 2? In India, anyway, in Hindi. Produced by Krayon Pictures, the same studio that made Delhi Safari, in fact.
This English-language trailer shows it to be a children's fantasy about a young talking camel who wants to fly, who gets mixed up with a human princess, an enigmatic magician, lots of villains, and so on. Will it play in America? I'm sure the Bollywood producers hope so.
'Koochie Koochie Hota Hai' postponed again to July 2013
Posted by Fred on Sun 7 Oct 2012 - 21:59
OneIndia Entertainment, "India's #1 Language Portal", reports that the long-delayed Hindi-language Koochie Koochie Hota Hai feature, supposedly completed in 2009 or 2010 but release-delayed (because of poor box-offices in India for Indian-made animated features) until December 10, 2012, has been postponed again until July 2013.
The feature, a CGI-animated funny-animal remake of the hugely popular 1998 Hindi live-action Bollywood feature Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, is an anthropomorphic sci-fi (time travel) romantic comedy-drama with lots of singing & dancing. See Flayrah's April story for more details, or watch the English-language trailer.

'Delhi Safari' to get an "American-style" release across India on October 18
Posted by Fred on Sat 6 Oct 2012 - 10:49
Animation Xpress, vol. 10 #371 for October 4 reports that Delhi Safari, the CGI animated feature about an angry monkey, a laid-back bear, a scheming parrot, a mother leopard, and her cute cub trekking across India to the human city of Delhi to protest the strip-mining of their forest, will release on around 300 screens across India on October 18. The Hindi-language feature has a strong Bollywood voice cast.
Animation Xpress has a long interview with Krayon Pictures' Nishith Takia that shows its poster and new promotional art. "Our film has got screened at Annecy International Film Festival and has also won the best Animated Feature Film at FICCI FRAMES in India, has boosted our confidence in the way the film has come out." The film has a positive School Contact program at over 3,000 schools across India because of its strong pro-ecology message.
Delhi Safari has been dubbed into English with an all-star cast (Jason Alexander, Cary Elwes, Christopher Lloyd, etc.) for an American release sometime during 2013. Its English-language trailer was shown on Flayrah last May.


The older I get, the harder it is for me to fall asleep and stay asleep. I am lucky if I get four hours a night. I have to take ZzzzQuil to get me there which I know isn't good. I don't want anything stronger because that stuff gives me freaky dreams so I can't imagine what something like Ambien will do. Melatonin is okay but hit or miss. Benadryl will knock me out but I am groggy for 24 hours after. Sigh. Gah.
I suppose that gives you more time to write but at what cost. Have you tried a hot bubble bath and a cup of Chamomile tea?
I like tea at night. I prefer peppermint though. Chamomile doesn't have much flavor and I am all about taste. Maybe I can mix both!

Making some green by being green
By: Jessica Seid

On Earth Day, here's a look at some small companies that are not only making a difference, but making a profit.
A small but growing number of entrepreneurs are managing to do good while still doing well – making the environment a priority every day of the year and posting healthy profits.
"As more and more people are conscience of the environment, (starting an eco-friendly business) has become more popular," according to Steve Rosen, soon to become interim CEO of FranNet, a franchise consulting organization.
And these businesses are increasingly popular with customers too, Rosen says, "because it is something that agrees with people's social objectives."
Fried chicken and the environment don't seem to have much in common. But FiltaFry developed a micro-filtration process that significantly extends the life cooking oil, which means much less waste is generated. FiltaFry will come to a restaurant, hospital or hotel and clean the cooking oil on location. The cost of an average cleaning, which takes about an hour, is $46.70.
Julian Yates, who owns several FiltaFry mobile units in the San Francisco area, says he is recycling about 10,000 pounds of oil a week – or about 520,000 pounds of oil a year. And not only does the oil last longer, but it's also cleaner, which means the food is healthier too.
"I wasn't looking for an eco-friendly business in particular," Yates admits, but when he realized he could help the environment and make money, it was "an added benefit."
Packing peanuts and ink refills
PostNet, a packing and shipping company with 500 franchises is the U.S., also makes reducing waste a part of daily business. The company will gladly take your old packing peanuts and reuse them in packing for other customers. In some cases, they will even come pick up peanuts from retail stores and locations. "That there is so much waste in today's world is a focus for us," said Brian Spindel, executive vice president of the company. And, the company made $232 million last year.
Rapid Refill inked it's own method for reducing waste. Since 2002, the company has found success refilling and remanufacturing inkjet and laser toner cartridges for printers, copiers and fax machines. Drop boxes in video stores, supermarkets, bookstores and dry cleaners make it easy for people to drop off their empty cartridges, instead of just throwing them away. Customers can then buy remanufactured toner cartridges at Rapid Refill's retail locations for 40 to 70 percent less than the price of a new one.
Dan White, president of Rapid Refill and a biologist by education, estimates that the average Rapid Refill store remanufactures 5,000 inkjet cartridges a month, which would otherwise get shipped out of the country and burnt as waste.
But they don't stop there. "We also decided you can't be in the recycling business if you don't walk the walk," White says. In each store, "the countertops are made out of sunflower seeds, the carpeting is made from post consumer content… we even use floor tile that was partially reclaimed building materials."
Those that walk the walk may also want to dress the part. Martinizing Dry Cleaning has been around for nearly 50 years, but when traditional solvent came under fire for environmental reasons several years ago, the company jumped to adopt a non-toxic solvent called Green Earth, which is less harmful to the environment. "It is costlier but we think it's worth it," says Toney Strike, CEO & president.
An added bonus: Strike discovered that some customers even go out of there way to go to a place that's environmentally friendly. System wide the company grosses about $200 million, Strike estimates.
Not bad for a day's work.

United States GP: Lewis Hamilton bemoans qualifying 'struggle' as Mercedes fall behind Red Bull
"I think that was pretty much everything we had," says Lewis Hamilton after qualifying second in Austin, 0.2s off Max Verstappen; Verstappen and Hamilton on front row for US GP - watch live on Sky Sports F1 at 8pm with build-up from 6.30pm
By Matt Morlidge
Last Updated: 24/10/21 7:47pm
Lewis Hamilton says he will face a difficult challenge to get ahead of pole-sitter Max Verstappen in Sunday's race, but he's hoping for a good start
Lewis Hamilton insisted that a two-tenths deficit to Max Verstappen in United States GP qualifying was the best he could manage as he rued another shift in F1 title momentum in Austin, with a rejuvenated Red Bull turning the tables on Mercedes.
What started as a Mercedes-dominated weekend - the world champions were almost a second ahead of Verstappen in first practice - has turned into a Red Bull dream, so far, as the title challengers secured pole position and third on the grid for Sunday's race, live on Sky Sports F1 at 8pm.

Full Qualifying results from Austin
Hamilton will start second in between Verstappen and Sergio Perez, who he beat by just 15 hundredths of a second.
And Hamilton believes that, while Mercedes came into the weekend as favourites and started on top, he could not have done much more.
"I gave it everything today - it was a bit of a struggle through qualifying," said Hamilton. "I think from P1 onwards we kind of fell back a little bit and those guys [Red Bull] were incredibly quick.
"I was happy with my last lap, of course there's always areas we can improve but I think that was pretty much everything we had."
It was a thrilling end to qualifying as Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen battled it out for pole position at the United States Grand Prix
Asked if he was surprised by the swing in performance by Sky F1, Hamilton responded: "I think we saw signs of it all weekend so it's not a surprise necessarily.
"We looked good in P1, the wind changed direction today and we just struggled to keep up with these guys. Not my favourite of days but we can fight tomorrow."
Mercedes technical chief James Allison told Sky F1 the team were running a similar setup on their cars in qualifying as they were in Q1, and so felt the qualifying results were more dictated by Red Bull's improvement.

That was a verdict largely shared by Hamilton, who added: "It started off pretty good through P1 and then bit by bit, they got faster and I don't know if we git slower but yeah... it's been a real struggle the car compared to normally when we're here. It's been a challenge."
Hamilton though also still insists his "mentality is to win" on Sunday, which could lift him back to the top of the standings as he trails Verstappen by six points with six races remaining.
How have Red Bull got ahead of Mercedes?
Red Bull are understandably delighted with the shift in momentum, crediting plenty of setup changes on Friday with turning their weekend around as team boss Christian Horner admitted the car wasn't "tuned in", at first.
After trailing in first practice, which prompted fears about Mercedes' big advantage having come into the weekend on the back of three quicker weekends, Red Bull topped both P2 and P3, and then of course qualifying.
Max Verstappen says he will not change his approach to the start of the race at the Circuit of the Americas, despite having Lewis Hamilton alongside him on the front row of the grid
"It's maybe a tiny bit of a surprise but you can clearly see it has been swinging a bit the whole season," said Verstappen. "Luckily, it is still doing that!
"We'll see. I'm of course happy with the performance today but let's see in the race - that's a different story. And then the next races, those are another different story."

Red Bull will also have a strategy advantage over Hamilton in the race, with two cars against one with Valtteri Bottas down in ninth due to an engine penalty.

What Caused the Mexico Earthquake? Faults Explained
Different kinds of faults make different kinds of earthquakes.
ByDan VerganoNational Geographic
On September 19, a magnitude 7.1 earthquake rocked central Mexico, with fatalities estimated in the hundreds—the largest, most serious earthquake of at least 19 that the U.S. Geological Survey detected across the world that day.
Earthquakes all spring from faults deep underground, but what kind? The impact and severity of each quake depends on the answer to that question. (Learn more about earthquakes.)
The Earth's crust is made of a jigsaw puzzle of continental and oceanic plates that are constantly ramming each other, sliding past each other, or pulling apart. Along the Ring of Fire girding the Pacific Ocean, for example, the seafloor plunges beneath Asia and the Americas, building mountains, feeding volcanoes, and triggering earthquakes.
The September 19, 2017, earthquake in Mexico released strain pent up from the ongoing collision between the Cocos plate, which carries the Pacific ocean floor south of Mexico, and the North American plate to the northeast.
Earthquakes 101
Earthquakes can leave behind incredible devastation, while also creating some of the planet's most magnificent formations. Learn about the geophysics behind earthquakes, how they are measured, and where the most powerful earthquake ever witnessed occurred.
Most earthquakes arise along such fault zones. The ground first bends and then snaps—an earthquake—to release energy along faults. Here are a list of the various ways Earth can shake.
Strike-Slip
When portions of the Earth's crust moves sideways, the result is a horizontal motion along a "strike-slip" fault.
The most famous example is California's San Andreas Fault, which stretches some 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) from southern California to north of San Francisco. The sideways motion of the fault's branches is caused by the Pacific Ocean's crustal plate moving to the northwest under North America's continental crust.
Dip-Slip
Up-and-down motions in earthquakes occur over so-called "dip-slip" faults, where the ground above the fault zone either drops (a normal fault) or is pushed up (a reverse fault). A normal fault occurs where the deeper part of the crust is pulling away from an overlying part. A reverse is, well, just the reverse.
An example of a normal fault is the 240-mile (150-kilometer) long Wasatch Fault underlying parts of Utah and Idaho, again caused by the Pacific plate driving under western North America. One magnitude 7.0 quake along the fault perhaps 550 years ago dropped the ground on one side of the fault by three feet (a meter). The U.S. Geological Survey sees the fault as posing a risk of more magnitude 7.0 earthquakes.
Faults that combine sideways with up-and-down motions are called oblique by seismologists. The Santa Clara Valley south of San Francisco holds a fault prone to oblique motions, for example, seen in a 1999 quake.
Human-Induced
It really takes the movement of crustal plates to uncork a massive earthquake, such as the magnitude 9.0 quake off the coast of Japan in 2011, which was caused by the Pacific plate moving under Asia. But humanity has figured out ways to trigger small quakes as well.
Temblors can be triggered by pumping wastewater onto faults in deep disposal wells, as seen in quakes that occurred in Oklahoma, Texas, and Ohio in recent years.
And football fans in Seattle have gained their own notoriety with the NFL playoffs upon us, triggering "Beast Quakes" detected by seismologists across the Pacific Northwest. The height of their seismic activity in last week's game came during a touchdown run.

Big Head Todd And The Monsters History
Big Head Todd & The Monsters made their mark the old-fashioned way. The Colorado-based trio broke onto the scene in the late 1980s and early 1990s not by signing with a major record label, releasing hit albums, or being promoted on television; they toured constantly. They built a grass-roots following, mostly of college students who liked the sound they heard at concerts on their campuses across the country. The sounds of Big Head Todd & The Monsters were made possible by front-man, guitarist, and keyboard player Todd Park Mohr. Mohr is backed up by bassist Rob Squires and drummer Brian Nevin.
Eventually the band did lay their jazzy, blues-based pop onto vinyl, but not until after earning their reputation with fantastic live shows. The band had become well-known on the college campuses for their unpredictable blends of soul and pop, as well as breaking out with a Johnny Cash cover or two. They also worked on original music as a trio, all putting in their efforts and ideas. When they finally decided it was time to cut a record, the group formed their own record label called Big Records. Their first two albums, Another Mayberry and Midnight Radio, were released on the label. The albums did very well considering the band was on an independent label, but soon they decided to take their sounds to a larger audience and signed with Warner Records.
Their first album on a major label, Sister Sweetly, went platinum and stayed on the pop charts for more than a year. The single 'Broken Hearted Savior' was a rock radio hit. Soon after, their second album, Strategem, also did moderately well on the charts and received some critical praise, but Big Head Todd & The Monsters were having some troubles with the major label. The company wanted them to produce another smash hit like Sister Sweetly, but the band was determined to stay true to themselves and produce music they cared about. They continued releasing albums with Warner, but relations were poor. By 1997 the band had released Beautiful World, and Live Monsters followed a year later.
Throughout their time with the major labels, they continued to tour. Live shows continued to be their forte. Their records never sold as well as tickets to their shows. Big Head Todd's passion for the music could not be captured and canned like so many artists attempt. When on the stage, the band found more energy and excitement to pour into their tunes. Audiences were always delighted when the trio took the stage. But after little success with their second and third albums, Big Head Todd & The Monsters were dropped from the Warner label.
Knowing their touring potential was still strong, the band took a few years to regroup and find their sound once more. After they returned to the music scene they released Rivera in 2002 and two years later Crimes of Passion hit the shelves, both released on their independent label, Big Records.

Telemetry Real-Time Services
Yorkshire Water Services Ltd YWS are seeking partners to operate on a framework for the provision of telemetry real-time services. These services will fundamentally bridge the gap between IT and operational technology and will provide reliable data connections and translate data into information for the wider business.
Data sources include, but are not limited to the Regional Telemetry System, SCADA, energy consumption, sludge transport, rainfall and data from 3rd party loggers. This framework will not cover the installation of new infrastructure. Data will be delivered for consumption in the form of raw data e.g. PI Data Link or on visualised displays/dashboards (e.g.PI-Vision). This will be in line with current strategy to provide situational awareness on a single pane of glass for the control room.
The framework will support the reduction of alarm noise and increase intelligent alarms.
This framework is intended for a duration of 4 years and an extension of up to a further 2 years.
This contract is divided into lots: no
Yorkshire Water Services (YWS) intends to implement a framework involving a small number of partners that will provide support for a series of small and larger scale projects to react to the addition of telemetry data sources, deliver data as information on a series of dashboards and provide interconnections between top end systems. The framework does not include the installation of new devices or equipment.
Projects may include but not be limited to:
— visualisation of current data with the use of YWS business logic to illustrate any potential alerts in a timely manner. Data modelling would also be used to take a more predictive/proactive approach,
— smaller projects relating to the control room should be delivered in a standard to allow the growth into a layered situational awareness dashboard (single pane of glass),
— interfaces between systems. Bespoke and nonstandard interfaces are (and will be) developed to meet the needs of the business. Data is acquired from assets such as water treatment works, waste water treatment works, pumping stations, level monitoring loggers, flow and pressure loggers, sludge tanker operations, energy consumption/generation and all this must be structured and interfaced to operational databases for business use,
— intelligent alarms to reduce alarm noise. Flows and levels are affected by external conditions such as weather and the business does not need to be overloaded with alerts and alarms where a genuine alarm could be missed. Projects will be commenced to allow data to be fed from existing systems into external analytics where data can be mixed, and only genuine alerts/alarms fed back in. For example, comparing level data from one systems and weather data from another source,
— profile alarms — flat line alarms thresholds do not give the business time to react in certain situations. A great deal of YWS supply and treatment does follow a diurnal pattern and projects will be implemented to deliver profile alarm/alerts based on predicted patterns,
— legacy system support and replacement. Some legacy systems do need support, reinvigoration and/or replacement. Some data from legacy systems is regulatory and systems will require support as they reach end of life. Projects will be started to review current architecture, business requirements and assist in the delivery of replacement or updated systems.
Example projects:
— bespoke OSI PI-SAP S4/HANA interface,
— visible networks (profile alarms on clean network),
— situational awareness (waste),
— intelligent alarms (reduce alarm noise, inc trial of analytics engine),
— process safety performance indicators (PSPI) dashboard,
— energy and recycling dashboard,
— metaldehyde alerts (using turbidity as a surrogate to predict farm pesticide run off),
— sample manager refresh (discovery phase),
— regulatory operational database refresh (discovery phase).
Projects requiring input include, but are now limited to:
— internal sewer flooding (using data from addition of small form factor loggers),
— upper quartile performance target waste monitors (using data from addition of additional waste loggers),
— upper quartile performance target acoustic loggers (using data from addition of additional clean loggers),
— netbase 6.26 upgrade,
— pollution-predictor refresh.

loving the toon trek generation richard!!!
In the TOS series timeframe, any guesses on what Klingon civilian clothing would look like?
I am thinking about using Xurge's Renaissance clothing.
I kind of think outside of the armour we all see, the women would be Alfaseed/ aery soul. while the men would be a kind of complimentary look and style.
I think it would depend on who the civilian is. I'd imagine it would still be somewhat formal, but a bit utilitarian.
Does anyone know what class star ship this bridge set is for?
I think it fits under "Generic Starship Bridge", you could use it for anything, really.
any chances of a Hatheway bridge set?
If it came with Anne, I would certainly be interested.
Maybe I should try working on that Sims Beacon again. Someday.
Thanks, Thalek. It's getting there. The idea is that the house was built in the late 1800's and has been in the family for generations. They preserved as much of the original structure as possiable while also bringing it upto 23rd century standards.
Its an original design, I've been wanting to do it for a while and finally fit it in.
Somehow I missed this image. Where can I find it?
It looks fantastic. I envy your skill. I don't know about the rest of the gang here but I would love to see more original bridge sets. You may be on to something here with your new concepts.
The rest are on page 2 of the forum about half way down the page.
You're welcome. What'd you think?
I was hoping originally to make my own, not just for the ego boo, but also what it could teach me about modeling.
But I'm not crazy: if someone else has a version that is better than my own, I'm going to get it.
I'd like to discuss with you privately how you made the band fit a variety of characters; that was one of my problems I was unable to resolve.
I have a great model of Kirk's shirt from "Errand of Mercy" and I do not remember where I got it. Problem is, it crashes every time I open a file I saved it into.
It is an M3 Tunic, but I can't find the original source file. It's still in my runtime, but like I said, it crashes when re-opened.
Ken, are you sure that's not the M3 tunic with a texture map?
It loads straight up as is, not as a map. It's a full model. I thought it might have been a texture for the regular M3 tunic, but this one doesn't appear to be.

If you are building a new home, your building permit cannot be issued until the Building Department receives confirmation that you have applied for an entrance culvert from Public Works (you must apply in person at Township office, 8285 Majestic Hills Drive). We may suggest delaying the installation of the culvert until after the heavy equipment is finished at your building site. A heavy truck could crush the entrance culvert, requiring you to pay to have another one installed. Once you have applied for the entrance culvert, a representative from the Public Works Department will check the location to see if a culvert is required and if the sight lines are sufficient for safe entry onto the roadway.
Entrance/Road Deposit will not be released unless the Final Building Inspection is approved.
Entrance application may be obtained at the Township Office.
If a property owner chooses to pave their driveway, the Township will not be responsible for replacing pavement in the event that a repair or replacement of the culvert is required due to frost heaving or as a result of construction.

Pearson Education, 2015. First edition. Softcover. New. Based on a need for a text that could accurately, productively, and seamlessly integrate information on both the brain and neural processing, Edward E. Smith (Columbia University) and Stephen M. Kosslyn (Harvard University) created Cognitive Psychology: Mind and Brain 1e. Without question, the study of cognition has progressed enormously over the past decade. Most importantly, much of the recent progress in cognitive studies has come from the advent of cognitive neuroscience, which uses neuroscientific methods and data to address psychological issues. However, throughout years of academic teaching, the authors came to realize that no currently available book was able to summarize and make accessible the major findings, theories, and research the field had produced. Now, in this text`s first edition, these issues have been addressed. Using findings in neuroscience to illuminate and motivate key distinctions in cognitive psychology, the authors have written a cognitive psychology book that is informed by neuroscience - the first of its kind and one poised to set a new standard in undergraduate cognitive studies. Features -Integration of Neuroscientific Data. Uses the most current neuroscientific data and research and incorporates it into the usual behavioral research topics to address psychological issues. This book uses findings in neuroscience to illuminate key distinctions in cognitive psychology.Cognition in the Real World. Constructed out a need to apply cognitive psychology to the lives of students, this feature takes a snippet of daily life and shows the processes and influences the field has on the perception, interpretation, and reaction to everyday events.Shows students that the field is a living entity, continually evolving and challenging both new and old ideas.Up-to-date. Written after the brain-scanning techniques became widely available to incorporate the latest findings and theories.Modern organizational scheme. Based on the modern view of information processing rather than the discrete stage, lock-step framework created by Donald Broadbent in the late 1950s.A Closer Look. A detailed examination of influential studies in the field of cognitive psychology.Learning Objectives. At the beginning of each chapter the student is presented with these objectives to help constructively guide them through each chapters core content.Comprehension Check. Several times during each chapter students are prompted to stop and check their understanding of the material just read.Revisit and Reflect.

Wash & Deburring
High-Pressure Wash and Deburring Machines
Without its cover, an automatic transmission valve body resembles a complex maze. The paths that route fluid to accomplish transmission shifting are known, in the business, as "worm trails." Adherence to stringent standards of cleanliness and quality of the cast aluminum valve body after machining, is critical to the ultimate performance of the transmission. Deburring and washing operations are used to clean out the worm trails, drilled holes, and the flat, ground valve body faces.
These operations are reliably performed on two high-pressure wash and deburring machines designed and built by Peak Industries. These machines feature 5,000-psi water jets, a 2,000-gallon closed-loop water supply delivering 170 gpm, air knives and jets for part dry-off, a 60-pallet capacity transfer system, and an automatic bushing press station. All machine motions are hydraulically actuated.
Each valve body is approximately one foot square, one inch thick, and weighs 6 to 7 pounds. Valve bodies arrive at the Peak machines following the machining of the worm trail, the drilling of the hydraulic valve spool openings along three edges of the valve body, and the grinding of the two parallel faces. Burrs created by drilling, grinding and machining, together with the resultant debris remaining in the worm trails, are completely eliminated in the Peak equipment.
The valve bodies are manually loaded onto pallets for transport through the machines. In the first operation, with the pallet and part locked in position between two adjacent work stations, 10 to 12 water jets probe into the machined holes to blast away burrs at the intersection of the holes and worm trails. Three 250-hp, positive displacement pumps generate the 5000 psi pressure necessary to accomplish the task. The jets are activated for approximately four seconds during the 6 1/2 second cycle. This high pressure deburr machine consumes about one megawatt of energy.
At the next station, the worm trails are washed with 5000 psi water, using high pressure, hydraulically driven, rotating jets. The jets rotate at about 500 rpm as the part passes by them, producing uniform cleaning across the entire surface. "Used" water falls to the bottom of the washing chamber and flows back to a paper band filter which incorporates an oil skimmer to remove a small amount of residual oil from the machining operations. All water is then recycled. The only water loss is through evaporation.
A blow-off and drying station is the next operation. Air knives and air jets are directed to specific areas of the part to ensure elimination of all water. A 75-hp fan completes the drying operation. The machine cycle time for deburring, washing, and drying is 6 1/2 seconds.
In the final operation, the valve bodies emerge from the main machine into a bushing press area. Here, a needle bearing is pressed into a hole on the back side of the body. The equipment provided for this operation includes a conveyor belt, hopper, bowl feeder, and an escapement mechanism. After the bushing is inserted, the pallet is unclamped and the valve body is removed automatically with a gripper and placed on an outgoing conveyor.
Empty pallets are automatically routed back to the loading area via another conveyor. The sophisticated machine control system, using real-time logic, involves 650 input/output points throughout the equipment. It enables the user to load AutoCAD drawing data, maintenance schedules, and any other data related to machine control and/or utilization that is available in an IBM/DOS format.
Peak Industries has been a supplier of custom automation and assembly components and special machines and systems for the automotive and other manufacturing industries since 1966.

High Alert For Palestinian Slaughter & Conflict With Iran
High Alert For Palestinian Slaughter & Conflict With Iran2018-05-132018-05-19https://popularresistance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2017/12/popres-shorter.pngPopularResistance.Orghttps://popularresistance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2018/05/no-middle-east-war-1-e1526173771868.jpg200px200px
Above: Protest against US war in the Middle East in Los Angeles from DreamsTime.com.
There will be a confluence of trigger events this week that could lead to an escalation of conflict. At the same time that the US has reneged on the nuclear agreement and Israeli missiles are attacking Iranians in Syria, the US embassy will be moved to Jerusalem and Palestinians will protest the 70th anniversary of the Nakba, capping six weeks of actions.

United States moves embassy to controversial site
On Monday, May 14, the United States will move its embassy to Jerusalem, even though the new US embassy is not yet built. Jerusalem is considered by both Israelis and Palestinians as their capital. This action is part of a 100-year history of Zionist colonization of Jerusalem.
When the announcement of the move was made, there was widespread anger. In Gaza, protesters took to the streets bearing Palestinian flags and denouncing the decision. Students held demonstrations in the West Bank. Bernard Smith of Al-Jazeera reported from Gaza, "People here compared the protests to a small ball of fire that would roll and turn into a much larger ball later on." The decision unified Palestinians, putting aside their divisions to focus on Trump and Israel.
Arab governments issued statements of condemnation and emergency meetings of both the Arab League and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation were held while the UN voted 128-9 to reject the Trump administration's decision and approve a resolution urging countries to not move their embassies to Jerusalem. Reuters reported that Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb, Imam of Egypt's al-Azhar mosque, one of Islam's most important institutions, said the decision incites "anger among all Muslims and threatens world peace." Sheikh added, "The gates of hell will be opened in the West before the East." Hamas leader Ismail Haniya described it as a "flagrant aggression…that will know no limit to the Palestinian, Arab and Muslim reaction."
Thousands of people rallied in Turkey and Jordan on Friday to protest against the decision to move the US embassy. Tens of thousands of Muslims gathered in Jakarta, Indonesia on Friday to protest the United States. Israelis in Jerusalem are also protesting the move.
The Jerusalem Post reported that Palestinians have called for a day of rage and that mass protests are being mobilized for the opening of the US embassy. Choosing to move on the day before the Nakba is a provocation by Israel and the United States.

Israel is illegitimate
The Great March of Return held its seventh Friday of protests last week. At least 49 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli snipers since the protest began on March 30, and 8,500 have been wounded (see e.g. 9 killed 780 wounded and violence continues 16 killed 1,500 wounded). The protests will culminate May 15 on the Nakba, or Catastrophe when Palestinians memorialize being forced from their homes, their villages being destroyed, hundreds of thousands becoming refugees and scores being killed during the founding of Israel 70 years ago. Land theft and ethnic cleansing have continued, often legalized by property law. Palestinian protesters are demanding the right to return to their homes and marching after decades of Israeli violence and injustice. They proclaim they will not wait another 70 years.
The reality is clear, as Miko Peled, whose grandfather signed the Declaration of Independence of Israel 70 years ago and whose father was an Israeli general, says — that Israel has no legitimacy. Peled emphasizes that people in the US have a responsibility to take action to end the occupation of Palestine and outlines ways to do so, including an aggressive BDS campaign. Peled says "Israel" is an illegitimate state and "the area should be called Palestine."
Peled is correct to focus on the responsibility of the people of the United States. No other country has been more supportive of Israel. The US gave "more than 250 billion dollars in direct government aid to Israel, [and] the USA has used its veto more than 70 times in the Security Council to prevent passage of resolutions condemning Israeli policies." Alexander Haig, the former Secretary of State who served as chief of staff to Presidents Nixon and Ford and was a four-star general who served as the supreme commander of NATO, told the truth, saying, "Israel is the largest American aircraft carrier in the world that cannot be sunk, does not carry even one American soldier, and is located in a critical region for American national security."
Protests against Israel and AIPAC, the DC-based Israeli lobby, consistently occur in the US, even though the media hides the truth about the Israeli lobby. Even YouTube censors information about Israel but people still see the reality of Israeli violence. Israel works to inject pro-Israel propaganda in the media while US universities censor speech about Palestinian justice. The massacre of nonviolent Palestinians is leading to calls for an arms embargo against Israel, a BDS that includes a military embargo.
The combination of current events reveal the true costs of the creation of Israel. Israel is a fortress-like apartheid state that practices ethnic cleansing and whose government applauds snipers using Palestinians as targets. Some of its citizens watch the slaughter and cheer the death of Palestinians. Israel has created a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza with a decade-long embargo with intermittent mass destructive bombings. Even people of Jewish faith who criticize the barbarism of Israel are characterized as traitors and threatened by the government.
Press TV reports the Israeli military will be doubling the number of forces around the Gaza Strip and in occupied West Bank territories ahead of the controversial opening of the US embassy in Jerusalem. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are expected to hold massive protests along the Gaza fence.
Widespread attacks on Palestinians are expected. In preparation for the massacre, people are urged to donate to help the wounded in Palestine.
May 9, 2018 from Syrian news agency SANA, flames rising after an attack by Israel in Syria in Kisweh, south of Damascus, Syria
Israel is provoking Iran in Syria
On May 4, military and intelligence analyst, the Saker, described how Israel was attacking Iranian bases in Syria in an attempt to get Iran to respond and pull the United States into a war with Iran.
On May 10, Voice of America reported that Israel launched an assault on more than 50 Iranian targets in Syria. Israel hit weapons depots, logistics sites and intelligence centers used by Iranian forces, many near Damascus.
In between these reports, Israel claimed that Iran fired rockets into the Golan Heights (Israeli occupied territory, part of Syria). Iran described the Israeli claims as "fabricated" and "baseless." Holly Dagres, an Iran analyst for the Iranist questions why Iran would conduct such an attack "right after Trump's decision and while Tehran is looking for European support to stay in the [nuclear deal]?" Other analysts also doubt the Israeli claim, and Iran says Syria fired into the Golan Heights, quoting a Syrian official. Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbollah describes Syria responding to multiple Israeli attacks in Syria to set new rules of engagement and plans to retake the Golan Heights from Israeli occupation.
Dr Roham Alvandi, a professor at the London School of Economics suggests this is the United States and Israel "working hand in glove to escalate the military confrontation." He adds, they seek to "provoke the Iranian leadership into taking action that will isolate and ultimately weaken the Islamic Republic."
Israel is concerned about Iranian soldiers amassing in Syria close to its border. As Peled reports, the Israeli media and political leadership are banging the drums for Israel's own war with Syria and Iran.
The Independent describes the situation as "bringing two of the region's major powers closer to the brink of direct confrontation than ever before." While Russia and European countries urged de-escalation, the United States repeated their refrain, "Israel's right to act in self-defense."

US withdraws without cause from the Iran Agreement
All of this comes when Trump has decided to renege on The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the nuclear agreement between France, Britain, Germany, Russia, China, the United States and Iran. In a belligerent speech filled with lies, Trump provided no evidence that Iran had violated the agreement and leaders of France, Britain, Germany, Russia, and China tried to convince the US to live up to the agreement.
Israel urged Trump to leave the agreement, presenting an intelligence dossier that claimed Iran had violated it. However, the dossier contained information weapons inspectors had already found to be false. Netanyahu made a big public relations presentation to urge Trump to get out of the agreement. Telesur summarizes the reaction, writing, "After Netanyahu's speech the International Atomic Energy Agency said it has 'no credible' evidence Iran was developing nuclear arms since 2009."
US activists published an open letter apologizing to Iran. The letter described Trump's decision as "reckless, baseless, and dangerous" and expressed that we are "ashamed that our government has broken a deal that was working." The signers promised, "We will do everything in our power to stop Donald Trump from strangling your economy and taking us to war with you." People in Iran took to the streets to protest the US' decision.
The decision is part of the long history of the US trying to dominate Iran going back to the 1953 coup, continuing in recent years, during which the US has spent tens of millions of dollars annually to build opposition inside Iran, and to the US' involvement in recent protests. Activities today are consistent with a 2009 Brookings Institution report, "Which Path To Persia? Options For A New American Strategy For Iran," which put forward various paths to regime change, including Israel taking the lead and the US and Israel falsely claiming that Iran is seeking nuclear weapons.
Richard Johnson, a top US nuclear expert, handed in his resignation after Trump's unilateral withdrawal. And the chief inspector of the UN nuclear agency stepped down unexpectedly, a few days after the US withdrew from the nuclear agreement.
The decision may hurt the United States in many ways. The sanctions Trump will reintroduce do not just limit U.S. dealings with Iran, but will also penalize other countries, causing a riff with US allies. John Bolton threatened to enforce the sanctions against European corporations and countries, while Europe punched back supporting the Iran agreement and planning legislation to protect European companies. Iran is entering agreements with Russia and China, who are its protectors. Iran will seek to build its relationship with European and Latin American countries as well. The US may be left out, its credibility damaged. Given the failure of US military power in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria, traditional allies recognize the limitations of the US as a super power.

There are many reasons a war with Iran would be a disaster for the US and Israel. Moon of Alabama describes that the Bush administration considered it but war games ended badly for the US. This remains true. So, if the US is rational, war can be averted.
No war on Iran
While escalation makes no sense, the leaders of Israel and the US may see a political benefit. Prime Minister Netanyahu is facing charges of corruption. Prosecutors recently questioned him and his wife for five hours at the same time but at different locations, both as suspects. Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen, had his home and office searched and documents and tapes were seized by prosecutors. Trump's legal team is a mess. Rudy Guiliani recently resigned from his law firm after making counterproductive comments in the media. Israeli and US leaders may seek to change the subject and play to their conservative political base; a military conflict could aid both.
The 2018 election, which currently looks like a potential Democratic sweep, is also a factor. Sheldon Adelson, a top donor to Trump and Republicans in 2016 who gave $83 million to the campaigns and $5 million to Trump's inauguration, pushed for moving the US embassy to Jerusalem, even offering to finance the move, and for quitting the Iran nuclear pact. Adelson also urges a US nuclear attack on Iran.
The day after Trump left the pact, Adelson had lunch with him in the White House. Not long after, Paul Ryan went with former senator, Norm Coleman, who chairs the Republican Jewish Committee, and others from a Republican PAC, to meet Adelson and his wife at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas. They urged support for keeping Republican control of the House. Ryan left the room (since he is not legally allowed to ask for seven-figure donations) and Coleman made the ask, with the Adelsons donating $30 million to the Congressional Leadership Fund, doubling their cash on hand. Adelson's company recorded a $670 million income tax windfall from the GOP tax law in the first quarter.
The forces are aligning right now in a disastrous way. We must not allow the administration to lie us into another prolonged and costly war. We must oppose the slaughter of more Palestinians. We must be clear that we do not support war and that we do support the rights of Palestinians. Protests are being planned across the US. Join them or organize your own. And spread the truth to your neighbors and your community. You can also support the 2018 Freedom Flotilla, which has left Norway, to bring supplies to Gaza.

Is Chief Justice Roberts Afraid of the Leftist Mobs?
by Jefferson Thomas December 16, 2020 December 18, 2020 31
A Supreme Court clerk reports that shouting and conflict between the nation's highest court's justices occurred on Friday, December 11, 2020, as the court was deciding to reject a Texas lawsuit challenging presidential election results in four key swing states.
Charisma Media founder and CEO Stephen Strang spoke with Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne of Tampa, Florida, on a recent episode of the Strang Report podcast. Howard-Browne confirmed that his information came from a reliable Washington insider who heard directly from a Supreme Court clerk. The clerk said, "The justices are normally calm. They meet behind closed doors, and you never hear anything, but it was a screaming match. You could hear it all down the hallway." Chief Justice John Roberts reported comments are shocking:
"He said they met in person; they didn't trust the telephonic meeting," Howard-Browne says. "Chief Justice Roberts was screaming, 'Are you going to be responsible for the rioting if we hear this case?'" And then Roberts went on to say [to Justice Neil Gorsuch], "Don't tell me about Bush versus Gore. We weren't dealing with riots then, and you're forgetting what your role is."
"And I don't want to hear anything from the two junior justices," Roberts added, the clerk told Howard-Browne's source. The clerk said Roberts went on to say, "I will tell you how to vote," and that "Justice Clarence Thomas said, 'This will end be the end of democracy, John."
"When they left the room, Roberts and the liberals and Kavanaugh had big smiles; Alito and Thomas [were] visibly upset; ACB and Gorsuch didn't seem fazed at all," Howard-Browne says the clerk told his source.
"So obviously, it's clear that Chief Justice Roberts is intimidated by Antifa, the left-wing rioting," Howard-Browne said. "And, of course, that's the problem that we're dealing with. Apart from the corruption that's in our courts, and the judges that are legislating from the benches, and all the corruption that we're dealing with here with the voting fraud and the scandals of what's taking place. This would be ultimately the scenario that I could just see unfolding in the Supreme Court."
The Right Wire Report notes that this report is not substantiated. But if true, and we have a Chief Justice making political decisions out of fear of the Leftist mobs, what has this country come to?
The Texas Lawsuit focused on rules and regulations changed at the last minute by four states that circumvented the state legislatures who have sole statutory authority to make said changes. Ironically, one of the states named in the suit happens to be Pennsylvania. The Republican Party petitioned the Roberts court, twice before the election, requesting a hearing to reverse a Pennsylvania's Supreme Court's decision allowing mailed ballots to be counted up to three days after Election Day. Justice Ginsburg's vacancy left a 4-4 court and Roberts aligned with the liberals resulting in the case not being heard. Constitutional Lawyer, Jonathan Turley, points out Roberts's failure to address the very issue we now face has resulted in election chaos."
Is Chief Justice John Roberts compromised? Flashback to this article from the American Thinker – The chief justice must have "gone off his meds." No, it was blackmail. No, it was cowardice. He caved. It was a perverse abdication of his fundamental responsibility. Those are some of the many disputations that came into American Thinker regarding my exploration of another possible explanation for why Chief Justice John Roberts chose, astonishingly, to keep the "Affordable Care Act" alive and kicking. The Federalist highlights seven examples where the "Conservative" Chief Justice acted like a leftist hack.
John and Jane (nee Sullivan) Roberts were married in 1996, and about four years later, they adopted their two children, both infants at the time, a boy and a girl, about four months apart in age. The adoptions were "private," meaning they were arranged through private parties without any agencies' involvement. The notion of the Obama White House blackmailing Roberts arose with rumors that the adoptions may have been illegal under Ireland's laws.
These suspicions about blackmail first surfaced in 2015 when Roberts appeared to abandon his jurisprudence history suddenly. The dramatic U-Turn led many to question if Roberts was compromised and it was easy back then to dismiss those who questioned as trafficking in fantastical conspiracy theories.
But now we know the Obama Administration weaponized institutions against their political enemies such as the IRS, Intelligence apparatus and Justice Dept, FISA Courts, and much more. They spied on a presidential candidate and unmasked the identities of thousands of Americans! Does Roberts being blackmailed seem so absurd?
One can presume that there are three possibilities. Chief Justice Roberts is either:
Succumbing to the fear from the Leftist mobs,
Is compromised by either some foreign or domestic entities, or
Making his decisions based on the actual merits of the cases – the story the mainstream media is giving us.
Which is it? SCOTUS being one-third of our government, owes the American people an answer. Considering what has happened to the American people in 2020, at this point, anything is possible.
Update December 18, 2020: The Right Wire Report notes that Red State makes an assertion that, "the odds of [this story] being anything other than an allegorical treatment of that conference are just about zero." Their reasons cited were:
Clerks for Supreme Court justices are notoriously tight-lipped.
Supreme Court justices have not met in person for a conference since March.
As stated in the original article, "The Right Wire Report notes that this report is not substantiated." However, the reasons stated by Red State is an opinion. And reading many of the recent stories on Red State, one gets the impression that their editorial staff has already conceded the presidency to Joe Biden. So this opinion would fit their narrative. Given the seriousness of the current election challenges and their potential consequences – tight-lips can get loosened. As far as not meeting in conference since March may officially be true. But, does this mean that SCOTUS members never meet in any other unofficial capacity? This is not to say that Red State is wrong. One can appreciate getting all views of what might have happened.
The Right Wire Report was not the only organization that picked up on this story with an analysis – see here from The Conservative Tree House. They state, "During the Texas presidential electors legislative session there was a debate over an amendment to wording where the Texas House would rebuke the Supreme Court of the United States for "moral cowardice" in not allowing the Texas challenge to be heard. During the amendment debate, Texas Congressman Matt Patrick (CD-32) put into the ¹record a report from a claimed "Supreme Court staffer" about an internal debate taking place within the high court where justices were arguing the reasons for not allowing the Texas election challenge to take place. As outlined by Patrick Chief Justice Roberts was worried about riots in the streets if the court heard the Texas arguments and evidence."
Perhaps Red State is correct when they say that the story got embellished to a state of being more "allegorical" than truth, but still in essence may be true in principle. You decide.
Update December 19, 2020: Supreme court responds to claims. A spokesperson for the U.S. Supreme Court disputed a report that claimed Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts shouted at the eight other justices in a room in the high court, urging them not to the Texas election lawsuit against four other key states. But of course, they would need to say this – the statement is worded in such way that does lead one to wonder.

It's not the Leftist mobs Roberts is afraid of… He's afraid of his blackmailers releasing the video of him boinking a 14 year old girl on Pedo Island. JOHN ROBERTS HAS BEEN COMPROMISED SINCE 2010. His name appears on the flight manifest twice – and albeit it's a very common name but now the photos are beginning to surface.

Roberts is an F fing pos who only deserves to rot in hell for how he betrayed the country for Joe Biden.

Roberts is as much a commie as any Democrat. He can NOT be trusted.

No. He is afraid of photos of him frolicking on Epstein Island though.

It would be juvenile to think that a supreme court justice was worried about AN TIFA. The real explanation is that Roberts' $30M dollars check from Soreass cleared in his Swiss bank account.. The excuse given is too easy.
John Kirschman
Chief Justice Roberts is not so much afraid of the leftist mobs as he is about the Damocles sword hanging over him. Somehow, Obama found some real dirt on him and glared at Roberts during a State of the Union speech. Roberts quickly folded on Obamacare and has sided mostly with the leftist globalists. Since then Roberts has been a terrified despicable mouse of a judge who is rapidly destroying SCOTUS. We have a two tiered justice system in this nation which is destroying its very fabric and I was appalled to see Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett join the lockstep… Read more »
Bekah Lyons
It is my firm believe that Justice Roberts was and is compromised.
ROBERTS IS THERE FOR THE STATUS AND PAY , LIFE TIME OF EASE,, NOT LOOKING OUT FOR AMERICA BUT HIS OWN A-S. He doesn't honor us with his robe always supporting what's against values of America , He should quit while he can, afraid of mobs so is everyone else too, no excuse tells us he's a coward.
Bruce Brenner
Justice Roberts must now become more afraid of 70 million PLUS Trump supporters!
This has to get out.
Roberts has been compromised by visits to Epstein Island. Appointed by a globalist, he is solidly behind the destruction of this country and introduction of a "New World Order" as elder bush called for 10 years to the day prior to 9/11/2001. There are no politicians working for the people anymore. They are owned by China and will serve us up to the commies for a few bucks in their pockets.
Chatman
Wow, if this is true then Roberts allowed the court to be coerced by a violent self interested group.
This type of abdication is what emboldened the violent left in the first place as we saw violence and murder spread across the nation.
Of all institutions that should be above fear and favour and who should do their duty it is the Supreme Court of the USA.
And Roberts did allow the Pennsylvania Court to go too far which put us in the mess.
Keep on keeping us informed RWR!

A 'Justice' who is fearful of some 'candy-ass' riots that result from a righteous and Constitutional opinion and/or decision does not belong on the bench. Roberts is a corrupted coward.
Sadly, this is going to have to be the way to keep our country. We The People are going to have to riot. Riot against the supreme court. Riot against the state governors and their legislature. Donald Trump is fighting for us. We're going to have to fight for him.

Don't know if any of this crap is true, but it's a pleasure to read muck about that pompous ass, Roberts. I know Trump is hated by the so-called intelligentsia and leftists/globalists in DC, and I venture to believe that category has room to include the great butt hole Roberts; therefore anything might be expected from those Trump hating fools. Look at the Mueller fiasco and impeachment!! ….and now this fraud of an election.
Do you think the banks, your 401k, large businesses and others will join to stop this evil, Because you are a slave to banks, big businesses, your money, and your employers, who pay your healthcare and deduct your taxes, No body is going to stand. There is only one way, to stop the evil and that is for Americans to go to congress and demand, the electoral votes not be ratified, which I already sent my letter to my legislators to do so, But do they have the guts to do it?
One more thought, after the house ratifies the electoral vote, next is for 75 million to not go to work, not pay their taxes, open their businesses again. or succession. which means great pain and no nation. I would have rather had Trump as President and defunding against rioters, which I had planned and would have gone to protect people businesses and helped people like Kyle Rittenhouse did.

Aged care worker reveals brutal reality of job in viral post
Aged care worker Tahlia Stagg's post about the realities of the job has gone viral. Picture: Facebook/Tahlia Stagg
22nd Jul 2019 7:07 PM | Updated: 23rd Jul 2019 5:22 AM
A young woman has described the brutal daily workload she and her colleagues face in the aged care system - and the way the gruelling job leaves them "exhausted" and "broken".
Tahlia Stagg, from Coffs Harbour, posted about "a day in the life of" an aged care worker on Facebook recently.
The post included a shocking breakdown of the tasks and stresses she encountered in an average work day, beginning at 6.30am and ending after 3.20pm, when she's "in overtime. Unpaid overtime".
She explained that her post was "not a dig at my workplace" or the job she loved, but rather an attempt to show "the reality of aged care".
She argued recent media coverage of abuses in nursing homes "will have you believe that aged care workers are negligent, incompetent, and lacking in skills", but that while "there's a few stinkers in the bunch", most were passionate about their careers and the people that depend on them.
Ms Stagg said she was asked to take down her original viral post, which received 78,000 shares in just two days.
However, she decided to repost it on July 19 - again attracting tens of thousands of likes, shares and comments - in an attempt to "make waves" and stand up "for the elderly, and for aged care workers".
AN AVERAGE DAY:
According to Ms Stagg, her shift begins at 6.30am, leaving her with 90 minutes to get 11 of her 24 residents "washed, dressed and ready" for breakfast at 8am.
"Let's break that down. That's eight minutes and 18 seconds per resident," she explained.
"In eight minutes, I must use a lifter to transfer each resident from their bed to the toilet, from the toilet to the shower, wash them, shave them, dry them, moisturise them, dress them, comb their hair, brush their teeth, apply hearing aids, dress their wounds, transfer them to a wheelchair, tidy their room, make their bed, empty their bin and wheel them to the dining room. Eight minutes!
"Meanwhile, in their bedrooms, the other 13 residents lay waiting for their meal. These residents cannot walk, cannot communicate, cannot feed themselves. They require spoon feeding, can only drink through a straw, and have difficulty swallowing.
"These residents have not yet been touched since the shift began, because the residents with the verbal and physical behaviours take priority. They have not yet been cared for, because in a ward of 24 high care residents, four nurses can only do so much."
Ms Stagg referred to the half-hour after breakfast as "code brown o'clock" - a time when all residents "want the toilet at once", meaning one nurse is tasked with the medication round, and another with collecting breakfast trays.
The other two "are running, answering multiple buzzers and toileting several residents at a time", a period so frantic they regularly miss out on their break time and often aren't able to use the bathroom themselves.
Ms Stagg said workers often missed breaks and worked overtime. Picture: Facebook/Tahlia Stagg
She said "all personal care would ideally be completed by 11am, leaving just enough time to start preparing for lunch".
"That leaves six minutes and 15 seconds per resident to attend to their personal hygiene," she wrote.
"This of course is best case scenario, but throw in a fall, a broken hip, a skin tear, a death, a vomit, an upset visitor, or an accidental poop of the pants, and the time left for each resident is shortened."
At 12pm the lunch rush begins, followed by the "busiest time hour of the shift" at 12.30pm.
"24 residents all to be toileted, repositioned, checked for pressure sores, or returned to bed," Ms Stagg posted.
"An hour is not enough to get this round done, but it has to be. Two staff are going home at 1pm, and the other at 2. After that, you're on your own."
While she's due to clock off at 3pm, Ms Stagg explained that she rarely left on time.
"Who are you kidding! You can't leave until the paperwork's done."
Throughout the confronting post, Ms Stagg also describes the pressures caused by demanding relatives, troublesome residents and the emotional toll of the job.
"They don't see us hold the hands of a man with Parkinson's to ease his shakes just for a moment … They don't see us go home as a broken shattered human who has seen more in one day than a lot of people will see ever," Ms Stagg wrote.
"We are working harder than you know. And feeling like your best is just not good enough sucks.
The post has received tens of thousands of likes, shares and comments. Picture: Facebook/Tahlia Stagg
"We are not incapable, we are pressed for time! You only hear about the negatives, but please believe the majority of us have good hearts and look after and love your family members as our own," she posted, signing off as an "exhausted care worker".
The post has received an outpouring of support from fellow Aussies, who thanked the young woman for sharing her experience.
"There is no excuse for the shortage of staff and the pressure that you are under," one Facebook user wrote, while another argued that "If aged care companies profiting off the aged spent more and profited less this would not be as it is."
Fellow workers in the industry also posted that Ms Stagg had been spot on in her description.
"You've summed up an aged care workers day exactly, it is the hardest, most exhausting and sometimes unappreciated job, but also is the most rewarding job there is," one woman wrote.

Xenophobia destroys EU's ultra-rightwing MEP group
Ian Traynor in Brussels
Thu 15 Nov 2007 18.56 EST
Europe's first international grouping of neo-fascists, extreme nationalists and ultra-rightwingers collapsed in disarray yesterday, with its members incapable of overcoming the nationalist hostilities pitting them against one another.
The Identity, Tradition and Sovereignty grouping of MEPs from Italy, France, Austria, Bulgaria, Romania and Britain in the European parliament fell apart in acrimony because of the disputes between Italy and Romania over immigration and crime.
This week Alessandra Mussolini, the Italian neo-fascist, MEP and granddaughter of the Italian dictator, declared that all Romanians were criminals, triggering outrage among MEPs from Romania's extreme Greater Romania party. Five quit the ITS caucus in protest, meaning that the transnational club failed to muster the 20 MEPs needed to qualify as a caucus in the European parliament and to benefit from funding and perks.
Romania and Bulgaria joined the EU in January, with their batch of far-right MEPs making it possible to form the caucus.
Parliament burst into applause on the implosion of the extremist grouping, which was formed just 10 months ago.
"Members of this rightwing group have been fighting among themselves like ferrets in a sack. They can't even agree on the day of the week," said Gary Titley, a Labour MEP.
Ashley Mote, previously of the UK Independence party and currently serving a prison sentence for benefit fraud, was the sole British member of the caucus.
The caucus linked France's National Front with Italy's neo-fascists, a former disciple of Jörg Haider, the Austrian nationalist, and xenophobes from Romania and Bulgaria. But the grouping struggled to hold together, not least because of mutually antagonistic nationalisms.
Martin Schulz, the German leader of the socialists in the parliament, said: "The good news is that the 'international' of the ultra-nationalists no longer exists and cannot use the money of the European taxpayer to support its xenophobia and neo-fascism."

Michael Albert Phair (born August 1950) is a Canadian politician, who served on Edmonton City Council from 1992 until 2007. He was the first openly gay elected politician in the province of Alberta, as well as one of the earliest openly gay elected officials anywhere in Canada.

In 1981, Phair was one of 56 men arrested by the Edmonton Police Service during a raid by the morality control unit on the Pisces Health Spa, a gay bathhouse. He was convicted, but then appealed and had his record scrubbed.

Following his retirement from elected politics, Phair has continued to be active in the community, including as a board member of Edmonton Pride.

Mr. Phair is an adjunct professor with the Institute for Sexual Minority Studies and Services (iSMSS) in the Faculty of Education at the University of Alberta.

In June 2015, the Edmonton Public School Board honoured Phair by naming a school after him citing his work with HIV Edmonton and Edmonton Homeward Trust. The school will serve students in Grades 7 through 9 with a capacity of approximately 900 students. The school opened in 2017 in the Webber Greens neighbourhood.

On February 25, 2016, Phair was named Chairman of the University of Alberta Board of Governors. On August 16, 2019, Phair was replaced with the appointment of Kate Chisholm by the UCP government.

In recognition of his community contributions, Phair received an honorary doctor of laws degree from the University of Alberta on June 8, 2022.
