(5) How much revenue has parking infringements issued in Palmerston generated in (a) 2016 and (b) 2017.
(6) Will any of the revenue from parking fines be reinvested into providing improved parking to local schools and businesses in areas such as Palmerston based on the fact the ACT Government raised more than $10 million dollars in revenue from parking fines last year.
(7) How much did the Government spend on maintaining local infrastructure and community facilities in Palmerston in (a) 2016 and (b) 2017.
(1) Yes, mobile enforcement vans are targeting parking near schools at peak times across the ACT.
The ACT Government takes pedestrian safety seriously and Parking Operations has been tasked with attending ACT Schools during peak pick up and drop off times in order to protect our community's most vulnerable road users.
Parking inspectors are checking to see if there are any vehicles parking on the nature strip causing line of site issues or illegally parked on the street and taking appropriate action consistent with the Parking Compliance Framework.
Parking Operations makes regular patrols through residential suburban areas of Canberra, as well as responding to specific complaints (including from concerned parents and school principals) about vehicles that may be illegally or dangerously parked in and around school zones.
(2) Parking Operations operates on a risk-based compliance model. The risk-based compliance approach enables the targeting of resources to those areas where they are most needed and will be most effective.

Episode 31…Bloody Moons and Bloody Buckets
September 2, 2019 legendtripper	Leave a comment
By the light of the Blood Moon, Natalie Crist and Christopher Balzano hit Wachula, Florida, to track down a newer legend that has been traveling the Internet lately.
Is the story of Bloody Bucket Bridge the creation of an overenthusiastic author or a real tale of murder, insanity, and blood?
They venture out to visit the bridge and test the bloody water theory while taking about the history and evolution of the myth.
Spoilers, they trace it back all the way back to its origin.
Feel free to call our new phone number during our lives shows to get involved or whenever just to share a legend you've heard to ask a question at ((813) 418-6822.

Two figures meeting at the middle of a bridge. One murder, one child, and three ghosts left to play out the story.
This week Christopher Balzano and Natalie Crist head back to Central Florida to the near-ghost town of Lorida to look for the ghost of a murdered witch. She bargained a love potion for the first born of a local man, but when the price proved too high, he killed her and threw her in the swamp. The Trippers look for possible connections to some other legends in the area as well as discuss the best love potion to bring along on their legend trip.

Love can move mountains, but can it also trap an odd triangle at the site of a hidden murder?
The Trippers follow the moon to Lorida, Florida, and hit Arbuckle Bridge to look for the ghost of a witch murdered for making a love potion and two spirits who may be with her as payment for the crime.
Christopher Balzano and Natalie Crist talk about some of the odd steps they took before they got to the bridge and what happened when the sun went down, the protection circle was cast, and the two were left with nothing but a broken-down bridge between them and the ghostly legend.
Listen to our episode where we eat sausage, set up the legend trip, and explore several possible love potions too creep for us to actually try at the bridge.

Travel Log: Witches and Murderers at Arbuckle Creek in Lorida
June 11, 2019 legendtripper	3 Comments
The only motivation more powerful than love is desperation. Put in the wrong situation, a good man will do things he would never have contemplated. Love may lift your heart, but desperation lowers it. Too often the two play with each other and those soaring highs of passion can make one sink even deeper when it isn't met by another person. Put in a corner, what would you do? What would you do if it was for love?
It's unclear what brought the man to the bridge that night, but it was definitely one of the two. He met the old woman by a full moon to purchase a love potion, but we do not know his motivation. There may have been a specific woman he had his eye on or something more economic on his mind. The old woman was well known by that time as someone who was well trained in mixing herbs and concurring the elements to make things happen. No one uttered the word witch. The people in the town were too dependent on her folk remedies and too use to consulting her to use that word, and there was nothing evil in her eye or suspicious in her actions to warrant that tag. She was just an old woman who knew things, much like the medicine men of the Seminole who had been there before.
Listen to the original episode where we discuss the legend..and some crazy love potions.
It's odd he hadn't asked about the price before he agreed to meet her. It was steep. In return for the love potion who would bring his true love into his arms, all he had to do was give her his firstborn child. He was infuriated. He grabbed the crone, swearing to anyone who might have heard them on that night that he would never give up his child. In the struggle, she fell from the bridge and impaled herself on the cypress tree growing near the banks of the water. He knew what he had done would condemn him, and who would miss the old woman anyway. Weighing the body down with stones, he drifted the body out to the middle of the creek and let the body drop to the bottom and ran for a new town.
The next part of the story gets hazy. Some say her ghost began to appear on the bridge, pointing to where her body lay on the bottom. Others stories say by the time the man left town never to be seen again her body had floated back to the top, revealing his crime. Most of the people who continue to see her don't care which of the stories are true. They just know she is still seen on the bridge, especially during a full moon. It's a story that's been part of Arbuckle Creek long enough to outlast the town itself, and some modern reports say she may have gotten her revenge in death. There's more than one spirit on the bridge in Lorida, and they may still be playing out a deal gone bad seventy years later.
When we hear a story like this, the first thing we try to do is relate it and see if the story makes sense with the area. A story like the Mini-Lights shouts about the way the neighborhood views itself and its invaders or the story of Oak Ridge Cemetery makes sense given the setting. This legend, while familiar in its elements, seems so isolated that there just might be something to it. While we originally discovered the story on Haunted Places, there were enough whispers about it, and enough odd moments in the history to make it worth going out.
The town of Lorida is itself a ghost town, another victim of the train boom and its own geography. There was obviously something odd going on there before it had been settled. The Seminoles, trying to make their way south during their early period of migration, suffered major causalities trying to cross the lake nearby. They ended up naming it Lake Istokpoga, which means "Lake where someone was killed in the water." The towns grew up around the body of water, and while those who called it home seemed to enjoy the land while they lived there, it rose and fell in less than a hundred years.
The town was first settled in 1910 when people began to settle around the bank of the lake. There was plenty of land to graze and open space, so roots began to be put down. The name was changed from Cow House to Sunnyland to the Hamlet of Istokpoga. The name stuck, but when the Acline came through and started a small settlement to coincide with their rail stop on the other side of the water, people began to get confused over which was which and mail began to get lost. Mary Strokes, who ran the post office at the time, suggested the name Lorida. The town found its footing in farming and cattle and grew as the trains came through and roads began to be put down. The town itself has never become as popular or populated as some of the ones around it, with Highway 98 being the only way in and out of town.
It's unclear how well the story of the witch is known in the town. It feels too old to really take place during the timeline of the town. Rich Newman in his book Haunted Bridges: Over 300 of America's Creepiest Crossings dates the meeting at 1945, but when I followed up with him he was unable to remember when he had heard that date. The current bridge was built in 1965, and we were unable to find any concrete evidence on when the bridge became concrete. The legend takes an odd turn though. According to almost all versions of the story, the witch began to be seen on the bridge not long after her death and plagued the town enough for them to try and stop her nightly appearances. A mob formed, traveled to her shack in the swamp, and burned it to the ground hoping that would stop her. It did not work.
That would be enough, but there are other stories that paint a more complex picture of what might be going on there. The woman has been known to mess with people's radios, appear on the bridge to passing cars, and float over the sight of her murder in the form of ghost lights. However, there have been two other ghosts seen at the spot. According to a follow-up comment on Haunted Places, and echoed a few other places online, a man and a small boy have also been seen there. These two have been known to duck under the bridge and out of sight and play with the poles of people who try fishing there. Could it be that the murder did indeed take the potion from the dead woman and use it? Is he paying the price in death of he and his son being trapped on the spot of the broken deal?
Listen to our recap episode of the trip…
All of this was on my mind when I began preparing a love potion for us to use at the bridge. After consulting longtime friend and witch extraordinaire Marla Brooks, I began cooking up a potion we would use to try and connect with the old woman whose spirit might be trapped there. Using Marla's advice and a combination of recipes online, I created a potion consisting of red wine, apples, salt, rosemary, and a few other ingredients that were recommended. While I was not able to chant over the mixture while it was brewing like the directions said, I did play old 1980's power ballads, still being slightly silly about the whole thing. I left it out overnight during a full moon and hoped it would be enough.
In keeping with the connecting theme, I bought three candles were fragrances consistent with conjuring spirits. One was of lilac, another was of cherry, which also related to love and the legend, and a third which was a mix of several of the other flowers and herbs Marla's book, and another I consulted, had talked about.
By the time we had made it out into the field, things had changed. Perhaps it was the effect of the potion and making it, perhaps it was consulting with Marla herself, but I was starting to see the haunting slightly different. There is a long history of deals made with witches or deals made with the Devil for personal gain in folklore. Rumpelstiltskin had asked for the same payment for his services. They almost all go wrong. Our angle had been to play up the witch aspect of things, but it was more clearly a murder scene we were traveling to. We would use these witch elements as a way to try and communicate with the spirit, making her comfortable and more willing to speak with us, but instead of spending time with the folklore on the witch side of things, we would try and talk to her and see the story from her side.
The moon was low and bright yellow by the time we got to the bridge. Following Marla Brook's advice, we lit the candles and recited the incantation she gave us, changing the words slightly to match legend tripping and not investigating:
The Witch's Circle of Protection
Have everyone stand in a circle and one person shall read this:
Guardian s of the North, Element of Earth, I call upon thee to be present during this investigation.
Guardians of the East. Element of Air, I call upon thee to be present during this investigation.
Guardians of the South, Element of Fire, I call upon thee to be present during this investigation
Guardians of the West, Element of Water, I call upon thee to be present during this investigation
This next part should be read and repeated by the participants, one line at a time.
God and goddess, Guardian Angels and Spirit Guides
Be present with us during this investigation.
Bless the circle and keep us protected
No unwanted entities are welcome here
Only pure, divine beings are invited into our space.
The circle will close on its own with the investigation is over
Spirits will return to the light
There shall be no attachments to any of those here tonight.
The Circle is now cast. So Mote It Be. (or Amen)
A small pinch of cinnamon, a petal of rose, the sweet taste of apple, that's how the love grows. And for those who taste this potion, they shall feel that warm emotion.
We set up next to the bridge on the boat launch. As we said the incantation, we poured the love potion around us, casting a protection circle, saving some for dumping off the bridge.
For a location so far out in an unpopulated part of Florida later at night, the bridge was busy. The loud moaning of the cows around us sounded like ghostly agony, like dinosaurs, and added to the creepiness of the location. The longer we were there the more we understood an alligator was tracking us from the water. Cars flew by, crowding the road as we tried to cross it.
The reports of the man and boy are centered around underneath the bridge, so we explore a bit. It was covered with graffiti and mold with the alligator close by. We then made our way onto the bridge to try and talk to the woman and dump the remaining love potion on the bridge and into the water where she was thrown and landed.
It's always hard to take moments of a legend trip and say we touched the ghostly part of the story. We do not look for evidence but often get it, but more often than that, we have only our feelings and impressions to go on. For example, only two times during the trip did we hear nearby dogs violently bark. The first was when we cast the protection spell and the second was before we left and I spent a few moments closer to the water talking to the woman and the two males. It meant something at the time, but nothing solid.
Almost all of the old love potions we had explored going into the trip had made a point of talking about the power of menstrual blood as a powerful element. As soon as we had finished the incantation, Natalie, who was at the tail end of her period, felt a very tangible change in her flow. It normally would not have given us pause, but the timing and the connection was too on point for us to ignore.
Then there were the fireflies. Ever since our trip to Mounds State Park where we had experienced a rash of these insects which led us to a Pukwudgie encounter, we had become aware of connections to the paranormal and to folklore. When we had stepped into the area where we were going to cast the circle, three appeared, hovered near us, and then disappeared.
The other odd thing happened while we were physically on the bridge dodging the speeding cars as we spilled the remaining potion. While looking across to the other side where her body was thrown, my eyes played a trick on me. Imagine shining a light into your eyes quickly and seeing the darkened figure of the flashlight when you close your eyes or look away. My eyes saw a man take three large steps before stooping down to a smaller figure twenty feet away. He looked like that kind of shadow. I watched this happen three times before experimenting with the lights we were using to see if I could recreate it. I couldn't.
Lastly, we had three odd lights appear, not from the insect world. We had established that there were three spirits at the bridge, confirmed to some degree by the fireflies earlier in the night. At one point when I went closer to the water, three odd lights appear in pictures Natalie had taken. Not that odd given that we had three candles lit nearby, so a camera might pick them up their reflection. However, in a series of pictures taken seconds apart and without moving the camera, they rise up in the frame with precision.
Most folklore comes from a need. It may be trying to explain something or trying to teach the history or an important moment to the community. There is something you can track, which is why they are so appealing to Tripping on Legends. We understand ourselves by understanding the story. At Arbuckle Creek in Lorida there is not lesson to learn, no message to the town or reflection of community. There's a woman on a bridge and a father and son. There are just a few ghosts and a story told to explain them. If context building understanding, you won't find it there, and maybe the fact you can't means the story itself is more truth than tale.

The Global Peace Convention is a bi-annual assembly of policy experts, educators, and political and civil society leaders to share best practices and develop collaborative strategies in areas of peacebuilding, education, entrepreneurship, sustainable development, youth and women empowerment, and other fields of social impact. GPF's signature convenings have been hosted in Manila (2009), Nairobi (2010), Seoul (2011), Atlanta (2012), Kuala Lumpur (2013), Asuncion (2014), Manila (2017), Seoul (2019), and virtually (2021).
One of the key focus areas of the Global Peace Foundation is building consensus on unification and reconciliation between North and South Korea and defining the character of a new, unified Korean nation. Highlighted as a model from which to both learn and apply critical lessons in peacebuilding, the work towards a free and united Korea has engaged leading scholars, human rights experts, peace advocates, and a growing citizens' movement.
Experts from the Republic of Korea, the United States, Japan, Russia, Mongolia, India, China, and the United Kingdom evaluated the complexities of working towards peaceful Korean unification, viable options to address North Korean security threats, prospects for regional economic integration, and ways to draw attention to the many human rights and humanitarian issues affecting the Korean people.

Wow!! Beautiful – Buddha at Ngyen Khag Taktsang Monastery. I cannot imagine the work that went into this.
The picture shows a nicely carved, beautiful sculpture of Lord Buddha at an incredible mountain heights, claiming that it is a real statue of Buddha at Ngyen Khag Taktsang Monastery. But the fact is that it is not a genuine picture. The original picture is simply a sandstone pillar of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park located in Wulingyuan Scenic Area in China's Hunan Province. The forest park has about 3,100 sandstone pillars like these of varying heights, some reaching over 800 meters, residing amidst dense forests, lush valleys, lakes, caves, waterfalls and streams, all spread over an area of approximately 690 square kilometers. UNESCO has designated it as a World Heritage Site and a Global Geopark.
Clearly, there is no such Buddha carving there, it is just another photoshop creation, but a good one indeed. The story is a hoax and need not be shared.

Under the patronage of Henry Gage, a committee of members of the International Rally Drivers Club will choose a selection of cars from modern-day World Rally Cars, through the omnipresent Subaru & Mitsubishi years, to the early days of the 'Flying Finns' in Mini Cooper, Saab and Escort - with particular attention on our two home-grown World Champions: Colin McRae and Richard Burns.
The Rally Paddock will invoke the sights and ambiance of a genuine 'rally service area'. Meanwhile the over 2-mile rally stage demonstration course, starting at the main gates, will use estate roads then exit the park via through the village and along the chalk road before ending with a fantastic climb up to Firle Beacon. Truly a race to the Beacon!
Supercar Paddock
This paddock will be set against the sweeping vista that is Firle Estate, with the very best of modern supercars displayed, including alternative power models.
Not only will these vehicles be on display, but they will also be demonstrated over a standing quarter-mile sprint course, utilising the Estate's main driveway, four times a day, on both days.

Emmanuel Monastery Past & Present
As we progress in this way of life and in faith, we shall run on the path of God's commandments, our hearts overflowing with the inexpressible delight of love. (RB Prologue)
In response to the challenges of the Second Vatican Council, twenty-three courageous women set out to bring the 1500 year Benedictine tradition to the Archdiocese of Baltimore, MD.
On July 1,1971, these women journeyed from St. Walburga Monastery in Elizabeth NJ, and began the hard work of establishing a community, reinterpreting the monastic tradition for our times. In 1978 the community was accepted into the Federation of St. Scholastica and officially became Emmanuel Monastery.
During the first twenty years of its history, the community lived in rented facilities: the convent at Martin Spalding High School in Severn, MD and the convent at St. Rose of Lima parish in Brooklyn, MD. In 1986 the present property was purchased and renovated to establish a permanent monastery in Lutherville, MD. In 1991 a smaller house, Visitation House,was purchased on nearby property, and in 2001 a further addition to the monastery building was completed. In 2007, the house next door to the monastery, Transfiguration House, was purchased, giving the community greater flexibility in programming, and providing additional space for community members and retreatants.
Sisters are involved in ministries within and outside the monastery, working in hospitals, parishes, in counseling, spiritual direction and retreats, hospice chaplaincy, soup kitchens, finance, education, and justice and peace.
The Chapel at Emmanuel Monastery
The monastery is both a home for the sisters and a place of welcome and hospitality for many who are seeking God in their lives. People are welcome to join the community for Liturgy of the Hours each day. Days of Prayer, retreat opportunities, prayer for peace, and special programs are offered throughout the year.
The Monastery Labyrinth
An attraction on the monastery grounds is our labyrinth. The labyrinth is an ancient symbol that relates to wholeness. It is a sacred place where a person can 'journey' into his/her own sacred space deep within. The labyrinth combines the imagery of the circle and the spiral into a meandering but purposeful path. At its most basic level the labyrinth is a metaphor for the journey to the center of your deepest self and back out into the world with a broadened understanding of who you are.

Paramus, NJ February25, 2014 – Every year 10's of millions pass up a few hundred to a few thousand dollars – tax deductions for owning long-term care insurance. How come? A NJ-based specialist with ACSIA Partners LLC, Gary Melnikoff, points to two stumbling blocks and suggest ways around them. ACSIA Partners LLC is one of America's largest long-term care insurance agencies.
STUMBLING BLOCK 1: "Most people just don't know of the tax incentives," says Melnikoff. "There's simply not enough awareness. Even some financial advisors neglect mentioning them to their clients."
How to overcome this block? "We need more public education," says Melnikoff. "Also, tax and financial advisors should be sure to inform their clients; and more employers should educate their employees."


Having just celebrated the great Feast of Christmas, we need to emphasize in our own lives that Christ continues to be born into the world through our words and deeds. Recently, the Bishops of the United States wrote a document on "EVERYDAY CHRISTIANITY." I hope you will find in the paragraphs I have selected a few thoughts that will help you at home and at work as we enter a New Year.
Being a believer means that one lives a certain way - walking with the Lord, doing justice, loving kindness, living peaceably among all people. Christian discipleship means practicing what Jesus preached. Discipleship is found in a relationship with Christ and a commitment to his mission of "bringing good news to the poor, liberty to captives, new sight to the blind and setting the downtrodden free."
For Catholics, this takes on special meaning today. According to the Second Vatican Council, "It is the special vocation of the laity to seek the kingdom of God by engaging in temporal affairs and directing them according to God's will. They live in the world, in each and every one of the world's occupations and callings, and in the ordinary circumstances of social and family life which, as it were, form the context of their existence. There they are called by God to contribute to the sanctification of the world within, like leaven, in the spirit of the Gospel, by fulfilling their own particular duties."
We welcome and affirm the growing participation of lay women and men in the internal life of the church. Service within the church should form and strengthen believers for their mission in the world. With this pastoral statement we are addressing in a special way the demands of discipleship in the pursuit of justice and peace in everyday activity.
Followers of the Lord Jesus live their discipleship as spouses and parents, single adults and youth, employers and employees, consumers and investors, citizens and neighbors. We renew the warning of the Second Vatican Council that the "split between the faith which many profess and their daily lives deserves to be counted among the more serious errors of our age." By our baptism and confirmation, every member of our community is called to live his or her faith in the world.
Merry Christmas! I pray that you have and will continue to celebrate Christmas in the Spirit of Christ, with all of the love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control that the Holy Spirit brings (see Galatians, ch. 5).
You'll notice above that in the Church's calendar we celebrate the feast of Christmas as an "octave" (for eight days). The feasts of St. Stephen, the first Christian martyr and the Holy Innocents, the children slaughtered by King Herod, are celebrated during this octave. They remind us that the baby Jesus would become a cause for division and would himself suffer. Let's not forget that we celebrate the entire Mystery of Christ's Incarnation, Passion, Death, and Resurrection during this Christmas season and, in fact, in every Mass.
We welcome into the family of God: John Askins, Christina Hernandez and Alex Vargas who were baptized in Christ.
We pray for the ill: Blake Interdonato, Don Landers, Tony Coogan, Koret Koelman, Terry McLeod, Adela Florez, Ana Cosgaya, Peter Capodonicco, Rosemary McHale, Arthur Candia, Sandra Dill, Jane Lambert, Enese Parenti, Theresa Cook and Muriel Krause.
That parents will be steadfast in their love for their families. That our Parish community will give support, encouragement and love to single-parent families.
Thank you to all who so generously gave to the members of our parish family who are homebound. Your Christmas gifts brought a smile to their lips and a merry twinkle to their eyes.
Thank you again for our fourteen (14) volunteers of our St. Vincent de Paul Conference that helped me distribute toys - games - hams and turkeys to the twenty-four (24) families in our parish boundaries on Saturday, December 19th. I also want to thank our parishioners for our recent 5th Sunday, 2nd collection, as well as Thanksgiving Day. The checking account was getting a little "depleted" prior to this. A special thanks to the Women's Guild and the In-Betweener's for all the gifts given to St. Vincent de Paul that were distributed by our volunteers.

Q: Does MS Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 compile C++11 raw string literals? When Update 1 CTP back in November 2012 came out, several blogs and also channel9 video demonstrated raw literals as an added C++11 feature.
screen shot from:
http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/C9-Lectures-Stephan-T-Lavavej-Core-C-/STLCCSeries6:

I updated VS2012 to Update2 (April 2013) and the version now shows 17.00.60315.1 but I get compilation errors:

Was raw string support removed after the CTP or did I overlook something obvious?

A: The November CTP was not for Update 1, it was for "some unspecified future update".
Now Update 2 has been released, which contains nothing relevant to C++11.
The November CTP might eventually be released as Update 3.
Or it could be Update 4, or perhaps Update 14. Microsoft clearly isn't in a hurry. But outside of the CTP, these C++11 features are not yet supported by MSVC in Update 2 or earlier.

A: No, it doesn't. Only Visual Studio 2013 supports raw string literals.

The series, created by Chris Brancato & Paul Eckstein, chronicles the life and times of real-world New York gangster Ellsworth "Bumpy" Johnson (played by Forest Whitaker), who ran Black Harlem's drug trade in the '60s, frequently clashing with the Italian Mafia. At the same time, Johnson was friends with Malcolm X (played in Season 3 by Jason Alan Carvell, after being portrayed by Nigél Thatch in Seasons 1 and 2), and had a complicated adversary/ally relationship with Harlem Congressman Adam Clayton Powell (Giancarlo Esposito).

TEEN WOLF: THE MOVIE: Melissa Ponzio gives the scoop on returning to the Wolf universe – Exclusive Interview
TEEN WOLF ran for six seasons, 2011-2017, on MTV. Created by Jeff Davis, TEEN WOLF told the story of Scott McCall (Tyler Posey), a lacrosse-playing high school student in Beacon Hills, Oregon, whose life is upended when he is bitten by werewolf Derek Hale (Tyler Hoechlin, now one of the title characters in SUPERMAN & LOIS).

ANNE RICE'S MAYFAIR WITCHES, based on the novels by the late Rice, is currently in its first season on Sunday nights on AMC, as well as being available on AMC+.

Movie Review: ALICE, DARLING
Rating: R Stars: Anna Kendrick, Wunmi Mosaku, Kaniehtiio Horn, Charlie Carrick Writer: Alanna Francis Director: Mary Nighy Distributor: Lionsgate Release Date: January 20, 2023 Part of the suspense in ALICE, DARLING is not just what will happen, but how much will happen. There are a lot of weapons around, and a lot of potential for interpersonal violence, and even for self-harm. But writer Alanna Francis and director Mary Nighy provide enough nuance and ambiguity to prevent us from being able to predict how this will all end. Alice (Anna Kendrick) is a thirtyish woman who lives with her successful artist […]Read On »

These qualities compensate for some increasing confusion about what its central villain can and cannot do. An opening statement informs us of the myth of a female demon, "the taker of children," described as early as the first century AD, across multiple languages and religions in Near East and Europe. However, THE OFFERING […]Read On »

As a bonus, it also has a good premise, but it tends to bog down in logic gaps and repetitive riffs. At Brooke's Hardware Store, we see employee Keith (Angel Hilton) fearfully searching what […]Read On »

In creator Louise Doughty's CROSSFIRE miniseries, originally on BBC1 in the U.K. and now streaming in its three-part entirety on Britbox in North America, we know at the start that something terrible has happened, but at first, not what it is, or who has been lost.

Achim Wollscheid, Bernhard Schreiner - Calibrated Contingency
(karu034: 3770002157343)
Refined talents, raw performance.
When you saw those two names – Achim Wollscheid and Bernhard Schreiner – side by side on a piece of paper, you probably thought "Of course, this collaboration makes so much sense!" Unless you went "Who?" True, Wollscheid and Schreiner are not what you would call household names of the experimental music scene. Although the former gained serious "street" credit on the Industrial scene in the '80s with his moniker S.B.O.T.H.I. and his collaborations with P16.D4. Wollscheid also cofounded the influential production company/label Selektion. And in the '90s and early 2000s he published a string of brilliant albums of computer music and avant-garde electronics on Selektion and Ritornell. For the past ten years, however, he has released very little music, focusing instead on sound art installations.
Schreiner is a photographer, filmmaker, installation artist, and musician. Like Wollscheid, he presents many more exhibitions than he releases records, and his work in both realms shows strong affinities with the Selektion man.
Calibrated Contingency consists in a continuous 47-minute live performance recorded in Graz in 2011. Both artists are using a computer and minimal external input devices (a boundary microphone, an induction coil, a radio). At the performance, each had a pair of stereo speakers, and all four speakers were arranged in a single line. This CD presents a stereo mix of that performance. And what a performance it is: a complex fabric of mangled frequencies, raw electricity, odd sounds, clips and glitches, woven loosely, with silent holes here and there. Dizzying and otherworldly…
...but isn't that what the sound of our world should sound like?
Calibrated Contingency is being released on CD by the French independent label Baskaru. Baskaru publishes only a few carefully-selected releases each year. Its acclaimed growing catalogue (including recent releases by Celer, Sawako, Rutger Zuydervelt, Yoshio Machida, Laurent Perrier, France Jobin, Emmanuel Allard, Stephan Mathieu, and Mathias Delplanque) paints a fascinating portrait of current electronic music, electroacoustic music, and sound art.

Kody White explains how YT Money empowers, educates and enables people to build fruitful careers on YouTube
The past doesn't determine the future, but it does influence it. Kody White began earning washing dishes at 14, and even then he was confident of his gaming skills. He worked hard, be it on gaming videos or cash cow channels, and eventually established himself and earned a fortune. However, as a young entrepreneur, his main aim is to help others get to where he is. To this end, he has designed a unique course for people to learn his tested tips and tricks. "I created YTMoney to educate people on how they can maximize revenue via YouTube," shares White. He also shares that he has no fear of competition as he believes ideas can be copied; authenticity cannot.
While working for Taco Bell, White realized that technology drew people in and was smart enough to encash the opportunity. With time, he became proficient in video games. White then began designing and selling them and, in the process, earned a fair amount to support his dreams. Even though White faced a series of dead-ends, he was way ahead of his time. People were just getting tech-savvy when White was already planning his first cash cow channel. His entrepreneurial journey began with a single channel in 2016. The response was so massive that he went on to create six different cash cow channels. By the time he was 18, he had understood the revenue model of YouTube and had made a whopping USD 10k monthly via all his channels.
The journey wasn't smooth for White, but his adaptive attitude kept him going. Slowly, the world caught up with different technologies; YouTube started booming, but people were new to handling the online platform. Meanwhile, White's videos began to get noticed, shared, and applauded, and he, along with his fun and fresh content, became famous overnight. To top it off, White realized he was an expert in creating video content that was relatable and connected with the audience. This was when he decided to structure a detailed course to help people.
Content creation was becoming a new form of employment, and many youngsters were hopping on to the bandwagon. The generation needed someone experienced to guide them, and White's YTMoney became a boon. He now teaches his clients to build cash cow channels and generate a regular income.

Juergen Rieger will be one of three vice presidents of the far-right NPDImage: picture-alliance/ dpa/ dpaweb
Far-Right NPD Appoints Holocaust Denier as Vice President
Deutsche Presse Agentur (nda)
Germany's main far-right group, the National Democratic Party (NPD), embraced a leading extremist Sunday, May 25 but avoided explicit expressions of neo-Nazi opinion which are prohibited under German law.
https://p.dw.com/p/E5oQ
Juergen Rieger, a lawyer who has advised and defended neo-Nazis, was appointed one of the group's three vice-presidents. Rieger has convictions for Holocaust denial and assault.
Reporters suggested that the overtly neo-Nazi faction within the NPD was gaining a greater voice in the anti-foreigner party, which has seats in two of Germany's 16 state assemblies but has never won parliamentary representation at federal level.
A party spokesman later welcomed Rieger's appointment, saying he would energize the NPD.
Under party leader Udo Voigt, the NPD has sought the support of militants who praise Adolf Hitler's National-Socialist or Nazi doctrines, though Voigt insists that the NPD's nationalist views comply with Germany's democratic constitution.
In a speech to delegates, leader Voigt won applause as he said the party's policy was both nationalist and socialist, but used German grammar to carefully separate them into two words. He said this had no connection whatever to the Nazi era.
More than 2,000 people demonstrated Saturday against the annual convention of the NPD in the Bavarian city of Bamberg.
Kurt Beck, leader of Germany's co-ruling Social Democratic Party SPD, called in Leipzig for the NPD to be compulsorily dissolved.
"It ought not to be allowed," he said. "A robust democracy ought not to give state support to people who want to abolish democracy."
Far-Right Conference Prompts Anti Neo-Nazi Protests

Metrics that Matter: Small-sample dominance from Deshaun Watson
Dec 10, 2017; Houston, TX, USA; Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson (4) looks on during the fourth quarter against the San Francisco 49ers at NRG Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Shanna Lockwood-USA TODAY Sports
By Scott Barrett
(Metrics that Matter is a regular offseason feature that examines some aspect of fantasy through a microscope to dive into the finer details.)
Take ADP information this early with a grain of salt, but Deshaun Watson's current ADP is, well, leaving me salty. Per Fantasy Football Calculator, he's being drafted (on average) as the first quarterback-overall in PPR leagues. In the ongoing PFF Fantasy mock draft (writeup to come upon the draft's completion), only Aaron Rodgers went ahead of him. That seems excessive for a quarterback coming off an ACL injury who has played in only seven career games.
Make no mistake about it, Watson played out of his mind last season, but just deferring to the longer histories of success from someone like Rodgers or Tom Brady, I can't get on board.
Just how good was Watson's rookie season?
Through seven games, Watson averaged 25.0 fantasy points per game – the eighth-most by any quarterback all time. If we exclude Week 1, when he didn't take a snap until the second half, Watson would have averaged 27.7 fantasy points per game – the most by any quarterback all time. Watson also averaged 0.73 fantasy points per dropback, which was the most of any quarterback in the PFF-era (2007-2017), and 24.6 percent more than 2017's next-closest quarterback. Needless to say, this is a major departure from where the Texans were as a franchise before Watson's first start. From 2014 to 2016, the Texans ranked fourth-worst in total quarterback fantasy points.
Watson wasn't only incredible from a fantasy perspective, either. Among all rookie quarterbacks to throw at least 200 passes in a single season, Watson's 2017 season ranks second-best in passer rating. He was also almost just as impressive on the ground, falling behind only Cam Newton in rushing fantasy points per dropback in 2017. While the latter metric might not repeat to the same degree (the Texans might want to limit rushing attempts for Watson following his injury), it's clear he has massive upside as a dual-threat quarterback.
Watson also helped elevate his supporting cast, with DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller (ridiculously) ranking first (21.1) and second (21.0), respectively, among all wide receivers in fantasy points per game before Watson's season-ending ACL injury.
Watson was my favorite quarterback coming out of last year's class, mainly because he excelled at my favorite metric for analyzing quarterback efficiency. During the PFF College era (2014-2017), his career ranks second-best among all Power-5 quarterbacks in depth-adjusted completion percentage (a statistic outlined here), behind only Baker Mayfield. Still, I never expected him to perform as well as he did, and even now, I have major concerns.
While it's hard to find faults with his stats, because they all look great, one concern is that they were possibly too (or, rather, unsustainably) good. He averaged a touchdown pass on 9.31 percent of his attempts, which was the second-best rate among all 1,464 quarterbacks to attempt at least 200 passes since the NFL merger.
Top-30 QB Seasons by TD% (Since the NFL Merger, min. 200 pass attempts) pic.twitter.com/dXoCGw01js
— Scott Barrett (@ScottBarrettDFB) February 13, 2018
On the list of top-30 seasons, we see only 15 quarterbacks who aren't already in the Hall of Fame, or are likely to be (Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger, Peyton Manning, and Tom Brady).
As we've written about elsewhere, touchdowns are fairly random and touchdown rate has a low correlation year-over-year, but passing touchdowns has the highest correlation to quarterback fantasy points. Looking at the top-50 quarterback seasons, among qualifiers (minimum 200 pass attempts in the following season), touchdown rate dropped from 7.7 percent to 5.3 percent in the following season, while the average for all players in all seasons was 4.3 percent. If Watson were to decline by a similar margin, we would expect him to average a whopping 4.7 fewer fantasy points per game less in 2018, if everything else stays the same.
So what does this mean for fantasy?
With Watson we have multiple concerns – the fact that he's coming off a serious injury, we only have a small seven-game sample to work with, and he's likely to regress in efficiency. Furthermore, he graded out only 28th-best of 36 qualifying quarterbacks in 2017, suggesting he didn't play as well as his statistics imply. Indeed, in our 2018 QB Annual, we highlighted concerns regarding volatility. He ranked best in big-time throw percentage, but only 33rd-best in turnover-worthy play percentage.
All of this being said, I still have Watson top-six among quarterbacks in my early rankings. Watson is a young dynamic talent with massive upside, but I think that No. 1 overall is absurd.
The final question then becomes, what do we do with his receivers?
Fuller averaged a ridiculous and unsustainable 21.5 yards per reception and 0.54 touchdowns per reception in games Watson played. He was on pace for (16 games) 52 receptions, 1,116 receiving yards, and 28 touchdowns prior to Watson's injury, and there's no way that's realistic. That said, he's a screaming value if Watson starts Week 1 at his current ADP (WR48).
Hopkins is the second wide receiver off the boards at current ADP, and I have absolutely no problem taking him there. Hopkins ranked first in fantasy points per game prior to Watson's injury, and then ranked third-best in the weeks following. Hopkins is the unicorn of wide receivers, proving he can be one of fantasy's best wide receivers, regardless of who is throwing him the ball (unless it's Brock Osweiler).

BRONIES: The Extremely Unlikely Adult Fans of My Little Pony (2012)
Film Leave a comment John De LancieLaurent Malaquais
Brony: "A name typically given to the male viewers/fans (whether they are straight, gay, bisexual, etc.) of the My Little Pony show or franchise. They typically do not give in to the hype that males aren't allowed to enjoy things that may be intended for females."
It is all too easy to judge and run with your uninformed pre-conceptions of what this phenomenon may actually be. It is so much more than you could imagine. Is this a new religion or merely a fantastical escape from the harsh realities of the world?
Or as this documentary would have you believe. Directed by Laurent Malaquais, the makers are all bronies and clearly set out to make a doc showing how amazing this world is. Childlike naiveté or simply doing what they like and harming no-one in the process?
Financed by the bronies on Kickstarter, this was always gonna be an "Isn't being a bronie awesome" film. John De Lancie (Q from Star Trek :TNG) narrates and is featured as he is also the voice of Discord, the bad guy from the Pony series.
I'm not a Bronie, I have no desire to watch the show or listen to the music but am definitely down with their core values that they seem to be putting into practice and living them willingly and happily, if you are to believe this totally biased documentary. More than a mere moral code that one may pay obeisance to, an actual living experience.
I wonder about the dark side to this world, or at least the less than squeaky-clean version (clopping on 4 Chan, Rule 34, anyone?).
This doc is definitely pandering to the fans. I would have liked to have seen a more balanced, less sycophantic documentary that delved deeper into the psychology of the movement. On the outside it's easy to see the plus side. These men, not content with the world they live in have found a place where they can express themselves five-year girls would do. I get it. The world is a scary place at times and not everyone is equipped to navigate their way through the rapids of everyday life. Environment, education, being surrounded by no family or a lack of connection can lead to a feeling of exclusion.
Maybe the sheer escapism is just that, the denying of darker side of life or by focusing on the positive manifest creating the world they wish to live in.
A wonderful chance for introverts to express themselves and escape from the scary, unsettled way the world is but in doing so teaching them how to interact with others and instill a sense of morality that is a welcome change with them being filled with compassion and kindness, friendship, love and connection.
Men being allowed to access their feminine sides, this is a great thing albeit slightly misguided. Most of the bronies here are heterosexual which erases the idea that they are all leaning towards the feminine in a sexual nature.
Emma Watson recently gave a talk at the U.N. about feminism and gender equality.
Watch it here:
Harry Potter Girl at the U.N.
It's time for the world to embrace the divine feminine for sure and if some of these dudes do it this way, fair play.
Michele Arroyo, the mother of Grayson, a 12 year old boy who was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor at 6 years old "People who don't like or hate the Bronies, have no idea what the group is about. They look outside of themselves and are doing things for other people" The bronies sent him messages of support and raised money for him.
Nowadays with people breaking away from the societal stereotypes, dressing up at festivals, expressing themselves in ways that deviate from the norm and embracing their inner selves, unburdened by the shackles of modern society.
This review has stumbled onto something far more interesting than dudes who like My Little Pony, more an investigation about gender roles in society and how we can learn from unconventional societal norms and how they may eventually free us to express our true natures, both masculine and feminine; the Ida and the Pingala, that exist in us all, men and women, boys and girls.
Having said that, this doc is so partisan that it is sometimes hard to swallow.
It is interesting but not incisive enough, unfortunately.

I post below an interview with Wynne Godley (2 September 1926–13 May 2010), which was conducted on 16th September, 2008. Godley made contributions to Post Keynesian economics and some of his work has been influential for MMT.
This is great, thanks! By the way, Wynne was a student of Andrews in Oxford, a member of the Oxford Economists' Research Group, that was behind the idea of full cost pricing (compatible with the old classical political economy views on prices) and was brought to Cambridge (from the Treasury) by Kaldor, who inspired his growth models (which are peculiar versions of the supermultiplier story), and who is the father of modern endogenous money. but before that he was a world class oboe player, for the BBC Welsh Orchestra.
