Liverpool Beatles Auction: Welcome to 2013!
We have already begun to take items in for our 2013 Liverpool Beatles Auction. Watch this space for details.
As ever we have a limited amount of space in the auction so we encourage people contact us as early as possible with anything they would like us to consider.
We rarely take in more that one of an item so this is another good reason to contact us sooner rather than later.
All valuations are done for free, please see the contacts page for ways to get in touch and the availability of the manager to personal callers.

Craig Murray's blog receives regular posts of thoughtful material by the former UK ambassador. For example, he pointed out evidence that the BBC had edited the soundtrack of Dr. Rola without informing viewers, something which the BBC later admitted after enquiry by Robert Stuart.
Craig Murray's blog rose in popularity during the last 2 weeks of March 2018, when he was reporting about the Skripal affair. Alexa's data indicates that the site's global rank rose from about 200,000 to about 100,000. This was in spite of a denial of service attack which was launched in March 2018. By mid April, it was reached #73,626 in the world, and #3,131 in the UK.
Craig's blog attracts sometimes hundreds of comments. Some of these he removes as "off topic", including any posts about 9/11, which has prompted Peter Presland to reflect on why.

Wikileaks 14 February 2018 Craig Murray "Lady" Arbuthnot has perhaps performed an unwitting public service by the brazen nature of her partiality, which exposes beyond refutation the charade of legal process behind the effort to arrest Assange, in reality over the publication of USA secrets.
Michael Snow 12 April 2019 Craig Murray Julian Assange said nothing during the whole brief proceedings, other than to say "Not guilty" twice, and to ask a one sentence question about why the charges were changed midway through this sham "trial". Yet Judge Michael Snow condemned Assange as "narcissistic".
Chemical Weapons Convention 17 March 2018 Craig Murray Beginning in late 2016, Iranian scientists succeeded in synthesising a number of Novichoks in full cooperation with the OPCW. This makes a complete nonsense of Theresa May's "of a type developed by Russia" line, used to Parliament and the UN Security Council.
"Antisemitism" 25 February 2019 Craig Murray Israeli destruction of Palestinian olive trees in the occupied territories is almost as heinous as the continuing killing and imprisonment of Palestinian children. Every morning ask yourself this question: "How many children has the Israeli "Defence" Force killed since the MSM last reported one?"
Jake Wallis Simons 2 November 2017 Craig Murray The Trial starts on Tuesday 7 November at the Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand, High Court Queen's Bench Division, and lasts for two or three days.

The Guardian 22 April 2018 Craig Murray "We thus have the extraordinary spectacle of a coordinated government and media onslaught on anybody who doubts their entirely fact free narratives. Public trust in the state and corporate media hits new lows, which is the happy part of this story."
Donald Trump 8 March 2018 Craig Murray Then something remarkable happened which the world mainstream media has almost entirely ignored. Despite Saudi sponsored adverts all over US media portraying named senior Qataris as terrorist sponsors, and despite strong Israeli pro-Saudi lobbying, Donald Trump suddenly called Mohammed bin Salman to heel.
Wikileaks 1 April 2019 Craig Murray The capacity of the mainstream media repeatedly to promote the myth that Russia caused Clinton's defeat, while never mentioning what the information was that had been so damaging to Hillary, should be alarming to anybody under the illusion that we have a working "free media".
Lenin Moreno 7 April 2019 Craig Murray Pretty well all of the Western media is going to want to focus on these false anti-Assange narratives, and they will be determined to give as little attention as possible to the fact he is a publisher facing trial for publishing leaked state documents which revealed state wrongdoing. It is a classic and fundamental issue of freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

End of an era as the Navy's first F-35 pilot retires
Fleet Air Arm legend Commander Ian Tidball has flown his final flight for the Royal Navy.
His 32-year career as a pilot has seen him spend 4,111 hours – more than 171 days – in the skies in 35 different types of aircraft.
But it's his work with the F-35 programme for which 'Tidders' is best known and it was appropriate that his last flight was in the Lightning as he made the short hop from MCAS Miramar to Edwards Air Force Base in California.
He was welcomed back by colleagues from 17 Test and Evaluation Squadron, as well as personnel from the US Navy's VX-9 squadron, his family – and a couple of fire extinguishers.
"Never let anyone tell you can't achieve something until you have exhausted every avenue," said Cdr Tidball. "I was told at 16 I would never be a pilot; I think I proved that wrong."
From Somerset, Cdr Tidball joined the Royal Navy in 1991 and earned his Wings – the coveted emblem of a qualified pilot – on helicopters, spending the early days of his career flying Commando 'Junglie' Sea Kings.
After completing more than 1,000 hours as a helicopter pilot, he made the move to fast jets, starting with the Sea Harrier.
Holding positions such as XO, Operations Officer, and Air Warfare Instructor whilst on 800, 801, and 899 NAS, he also had the unique experience of deploying on all three of the UK carriers in service at the time (HMS Invincible, Illustrious and Ark Royal).
He said his time on the Sea Harrier was a particular highpoint: "I enjoyed the huge camaraderie in the Sea Harrier force and flying off the carrier around the world was amazing."
After notching up more than 1,300 hours on the Harrier, Cdr Tidball moved to the USA and flew FA-18s with the US Navy's VX-9.
During his time with the "Vampires" he executed flight tests across the full array of FA-18 warfighter effectiveness capabilities and fulfilled his Topgun-inspired childhood dream of achieving day and night carrier qualifications in the Super Hornet.
Remaining in the US, he began his pioneering time on the F-35 program as the UK Deputy Lead National Representative within the US led F-35 Operational Test Team in 2011 – 2012.
He then became an Instructor Pilot with the US Marines at VMFAT-501, based at Eglin in Florida as the first Royal Navy pilot on the jet.
"The Marines enthusiasm and can-do attitude and professionalism never failed to impress me; I hope we continue to work with them closely," he said.
The pinnacle of his career came in 2014 to 2018 when he was chosen to command 17 TES at Edwards, following a turn as XO.
This period saw him lead the initial Operational Testing (OT) of the F-35B for the UK as the first UK F-35 squadron.
He became the first UK pilot to deploy with the USMC onboard USS America for OT, and the first UK pilot to qualify as an F-35 LSO.
Rounding off his career and staying with the F-35 program at Edwards AFB, he led the UK F-35 Integrated Test Team and was the Senior Operator F-35 Test & Evaluation (T&E).
This saw him as the lead T&E supervisor of the first embarked UK F-35 Operational Test (OT-1) aboard HMS Queen Elizabeth.
Flying regularly with 17 TES as the Senior UK F-35 Test Pilot and LSO, Tidders completed more than 550 hours in a real F-35 and over 500 hours on simulated sorties before his final flight back from MCAS Miramar.
"I will miss working with the immensely professional friends I have made but when I look back on all the amazing things I have been able to do, I'm comfortable that I've now been there and done it and am really looking forward to my next flying adventure and getting to spend more quality time with my family," he added.
Cdr Tidball may be leaving the Royal Navy and the military as a whole, however he will remain flying – this time at the controls of multi-engine transport aircraft for parcel firm UPS.

Katawa Shoujo is Going to be Translated into Japanese!
By Astra W
Katawa Shoujo Logo
KWEH!
I know that some of us have played Katawa Shoujo (I am looking at you, Mallo) but it is only now that the visual novel is getting translated and brought over to the birthplace of the genre. I have personally enjoyed the VN and experienced all the feels that it has to offer. Here is a quote by the Japanese translation team:
"I myself was moved so much when I played this game, which was the reason I wanted people in Japan to know more about KS. That was also the cause for me to translate it into Japanese. As the Japanese otaku culture spread around the world over the years, its influence has culminated into one masterpiece, and now it is being brought back into Japan. It's fascinating how things have come full circle, and I feel lucky that I could take a part in this."

We're talking a lot about the Coastal today!
By Benjamin Tankersley, Andrew Rodrigues, and Jake Grant Oct 9, 2019, 10:00am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Mailbag 10/9
James Guillory-USA TODAY Sports
Do you feel the offense is finally turning the corner? Is the second half of the UNC game predictive of what we shall see in the next game?
Ben: We'll see. There were a lot of things that went well, or nearly well, but there's still a lot to work on. The team still struggles a lot with the offensive line, and that's not something that will be fixed overnight. Coming from that issue is a lack of consistent success in the running game. Jordan Mason had one nice run Saturday, where he was able to pick up 43 yards, but if you take that carry out, Mason ran the ball seven times for 19 yards. That's not gonna win many games.
Stephen: I didn't watch the game this weekend. #FireFallWeddings. But not really, I had a great time at y'all's wedding and everything could not have been better! (except not getting ACCN on mobile grumble grumble Spectrum....)
Jake: James Graham! Consistent snaps! It's like a breath of fresh air. I don't think it's a bad thing, that's for sure.
CGC stated they will fix the defense on those third downs, which UNC feasted on throughout the game. How do you think CGC/Thacker will address this in the film room and on the practice field?
Ben: A big problem that Tech dealt with this past week was UNC's offensive line, and I use the term "big" literally. Tech's defensive line got physically beaten consistently throughout the game, so Sam Howell had a comfortable pocket almost the entire game. I was a little surprised the defense didn't play quite as aggressively later in the game, but when the opposing offense runs nearly twice as many plays as yours, you're already going to be exhausted.
I hate staring at the East End from pictures people post at Bobby Dodd Stadium during the game. It looked emptied…..was attendance that bad? Some of my friends were at that game and said the crowd was actually good as far as energy is concerned.
Ben: This weekend was probably the best, in terms of atmosphere. The Athletic's Tori McElhaney actually mentioned it on Twitter during the game.
I am not exaggerating when I say that third down was the most excited I have heard this fan base this year. Georgia Tech forces a three-and-out for UNC. Will get the ball back with 5:57 left in the 3Q.
— Tori McElhaney (@tori_mcelhaney) October 5, 2019
The stadium definitely looked empty though.
Stephen: There's got to be a better way to fill the stadium and concentrate fans. I'd almost rather charge the same for Upper West and Lower East, close the "Special Bar" area whatever it's called that's down there, and get some butts in the lower level before we worry about what's going on in the upper anywhere. Either that, or put the cameras on the East side and show the crowd. You're all engineers, make it work.
Jake: Stephen, thats called the Club seating. But definitely a valid point. And as far as atmosphere goes, well, I have previously been on the record on why it's been lackluster - and I don't think other than a couple of rogue F tuning/space chords from the band, they really did anything to improve it. Too much piped in music/canned sound doesn't really help, either.
What are some things that you feel Graham can work on/improve upon? Did he miss anything that would have been a better read?
Ben: Andrew hits the nail right on the head. Graham stared down almost every single receiver he threw it to. Another play that really stood out to me was the third down play where Graham opted to run out of bounds short of the first down instead of trying to get the first. I understand protecting yourself, but at some point, you gotta take that hit and fight for the first down.
Andrew: My biggest complaint with Graham is that he tends to stare down and lock on to his receiver and not really read through his progression. He struggles with seeing the safety at times, this has led to two of his interceptions this season.
Can we all agree the field looked great, and we should keep that design going forward?
Ben: Tech's field crew is really great. This past week's was just another great example of that.
Stephen: I agree with your question.
Jake: We have always been at war with bad field designs.
Does the Gray come back again this season despite being 0-1? Does it see the light of day in a "real" televised game?
Ben: If they do, they won't be the exact same ones. GTAA is planning to auction off the game-worn jerseys, per Ken.
Stephen: Probably not after this season. Support AI2020 without needing an incentive if you want to keep the jerseys from being bought.
Jake: 10 bucks says that the next time we see it, the "grey devils" backstory changes for the third time.
This may have been asked previously but if we lose every game the rest of this season, how big of a loss will we take in our current recruiting class? Or do you guys think it'll be relatively unaffected? We need all the help we can get, obviously.
Ben: This season won't have much of an effect. Obviously, recruits want to see the team win, but there are other things I feel like they're also looking for; specifically, I think they're trying to get an idea of what kind of path Tech is on.
Andrew: I don't think so. One seasons win/loss doesn't usually have as much of an impact on recruiting as one would think. These kids are being sold on the future, not what Tech is doing now.
Stephen: Proof of concept certainly won't happen in Year 1/0/-1 in my opinion. Now, if we're putting up a 4-8 season come 2021, then the story might be different, but there are no expectations anywhere right now to win games.
If you had to repeatedly strike yourself in the face with a hammer or say something nice about duke, what type of hammer would you use?
Ben: I don't love Duke, but I can respect what David Cutcliffe has done there. Love him or hate him, he had done a miraculous job building that program.
Stephen: I laughed when I read this question for the first time, kudos to you sir.
Jake: I dunno why, but I got wistful about the days of playing the ever loving [Stevie Wonder] out of some chimes in my old high school percussion times earlier this week for literally the first time in many years, so let's go with these. Good, full bodied tone. High quality. What's not to love?
How long has Justin Fuente got? Fired before our game or at the end of the season?
Ben: Personally, I'm hoping they get something akin to the Tobias Oliver treatment from Tech that costs Fuente his job.
Jake: 0-4 vs. Tech sounds even better than 0-3 vs. Tech to me...
Stephen: EXIT SANDMAN (more on this to come later today)
Do you believe in Manny Diaz to right the ship for the Canes?
Ben: I thought it was kind of silly when they hired him. It felt completely like an impulse hire because defense is something they were good at under Richt. I think there was a better hire that could have been made, though I will say I don't know who I would have hired.
Stephen: Probably? But at the same time, defensive head coaches get very little leeway in today's college football environment (Saban, Gary Patterson aside). So if things are running smoothly by Year 3, expect Mr. Worldwide to start the Hot (Salsa Dancing) Seat for Diaz. That was a terrible joke, I'm sorry.
Given full consideration to what they each had to work with, how would you rank the ACC rookie coaches' performances so far?
Ben: Mack Brown tops the list for me. He did an incredible job hiring his coordinators, and now they're probably the frontrunners for the Coastal. I'll go with Scott Satterfield as the second best. Nobody expected anything from Louisville this year, and they've actually looked solid in a few games. Next up, I'll go with our boy Geoff. He's done a great job with recruiting thus far and building excitement around the program, though we haven't quite seen the in-game results we were all hoping for. Bringing up the rear is Manny. Like I just said, I didn't like the hire to begin with, and I haven't seen much that I've liked from Da U.
Stephen: The exact order Ben listed them in. To have brought in so many transfers, Diaz hasn't done anything, but you almost have to expect that with a team with so many players that for one reason or another didn't work out at their previous schools. Also, pretty sure your kicker is still named Bubba.
Jake: I feel like Miami has all this clout, and they totally whiffed bringing in Diaz. In another world, they may still be more of a destination job, but I think that Diaz is unexceptional and I delight in Miami pain. I was going to rate Geoff low out of continuing mild annoyance, but I don't see how you can do worse than Diaz. Brown is more surprising than Satterfield, but, remembering where Louisville was last year, I'm going to switch those two.
Versus Duke, are we at a disadvantage across the board, or are there any matchups we should be able to exploit?
Ben: Duke's defense is pretty good this season. I'll touch on this during my Advanced Stat preview, but that's not looking like it'll be a fun match-up.
Stephen: WE HAVE THE RAY GUY HOPEFUL. Duke better pray the winds are in their favor on Saturday.
How often does Cutcliffe run the triple option against us, and if they do so more than 50%, should he forfeit all wide receiver recruits?
Ben: I'm expecting no less than 10 plays run from the flexbone this weekend from Duke. From what I've seen, they like to use in when they get in the redzone.
Stephen: M?M?BP Prop Bet of the Week! Guess you inception-ed me this week.
What was the year you knew you were gonna stick with Tech throughout all the highs and lows?
Ben: The Chan Gailey years for me, specifically growing up in Athens during UGA's seven-year winning streak over us.
Jake: The day I agreed to give them four-plus years of out of state tuition, I knew I better be all in on this. I was spoiled absolutely rotten with a nine win season, three over SEC East teams, with one on the road in Athens, another over Virginia Tech, and a bowl. And, in return, I have been gifted a delightfully beautiful gift - in a dozen tries, I am yet to see a road win. Really been downhill since those first four months.
Stephen: Trigger warning: Bennie Cunningham year.
For a svelte lady newsreader, which accent keeps you most tuned into the telly, even if you don't care about the story?
Ben: I'm a general connoisseur of the news, so what the people anchoring the news look and sound like doesn't really matter to me. I'm more concerned about the news they're reporting on.
Jake: And here I am, realizing I never really watch the news anymore. Oops. I couldn't even tell you.
Is not being the worst P5 team in SP+ a good measuring stick for our team this season?
Ben: Georgia Tech is currently 92nd overall in SP+. I think a better measuring stick is that the defense is ranked 53rd. The offense still needs to match it, but that's a good improvement for the defense.
Stephen: I'd like to aim higher than that benchmark in all honesty. We haven't been a truly bottom of the barrel team in a LONG time. Out of 65 teams ( i included ND and BYU, sue me), I think we need to at worst be in the Top 50 in a given year. That's my absolute floor for us, outside of these first two years transitioning away from CPJ.

"The new PL5700 has been purposefully-developed for 30" rows, which will provide more opportunities for us to reach the corn belt," says Rye DeGarmo, Vice President of Great Plains Engineering.
Great Plains Releases the Velocity, a New Hybrid Tillage Solution
Great Plains has developed a hybrid tillage solution called the Velocity. The Velocity combines some of the positive aspects of vertical tillage, while maintaining similar features of a conventional disk, resulting in a new classification in the Great Plains product line called hybrid tillage.
New Implement Command™ System from Great Plains Allows Producers to Take Control of Their Fields
For tillage producers who are looking for new ways to maximize efficiency and make data-driven decisions about their fields, Great Plains has released a new technology called Implement Command™. Available on new 18' to 35' Turbo-Maxes, Implement Command allows producers to make active decisions and on-the-go, real-time field adjustments to improve yields and soil health. For user comfort and convenience, this system allows producers to set, adjust, and monitor the performance of their Turbo-Max right from the tractor cab.

Desperate Hope

Much of this story occurs in New York during the Revolutionary War. Gavin Cullane is close friends with Alden Carter, who protects Gavin from injury during an explosion, but suffers a traumatic injury in doing so. Alden is married to Tansy, and has told Gavin many stories about her strength and courage during their time together. After Alden succumbs to his injuries on a British prison barge, Gavin does what he needs to do to escape the ship and to honor a promise made to Alden to 'fight back' before he died. He ends up meeting Tansy, her infant son, and other members of her extended family, who are doing what they can to help Washington's troops beat the British. This puts him in an awkward position, as he is the colonial liaison and reports to the British.
This story transports readers back to the Revolutionary War, and evokes the fear, danger and secrecy surrounding those who were fighting for their very survival. This is a tightly- woven, complex tale that pulls readers in from the start. Ms. Furlong sets the mood well, and readers can visualize the cat-and-mouse gamesmanship between the colonists fighting for freedom and survival, and the British soldiers trying to thwart those dreams. The protagonists and the major characters are portrayed vividly. Their motivations are cleverly defined; however, the shift is decidedly abrupt when Tansy and Gavin switch from being enemies to lovers. Other than that, the story flows well, and the tension stays taut. There are some close calls and some tightly-paced scenes, which leads to a satisfying conclusion for most of these characters, with one notable exception…

Axia Corporation lists of the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange
Axia Corporation Limited, the logistics and distribution arm of conglomerate, Innscor Africa Holdings listed on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange yesterday, becoming the third offshoot from the group to separately trade on the bourse.
Axia, which currently consists of household appliances retailer, TV Sales & Home, Transerv and Distribution Africa Group follows in the footsteps of Padenga Holdings and Simbisa Brands which have also been listed on the ZSE as Innscor sought to focus on its light manufacturing spine.
Padenga Holdings listed in November 2010 while Simbisa Brands followed suit last November.
A total of 51 134 Axia shares traded hands on its debut, closing the trade at 7.5 cents per share.
"The strategic decision to list on the stock exchange, particularly coming against the background of a challenging environment that has seen some companies de-listing, is indeed commendable," said Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe deputy governor, Charity Dhliwayo.
"It is a clear demonstration of the confidence the Innscor group has shown in the Zimbabwean market."
ZSE board chairperson Caroline Sandura said the listing of Axia signalled Innscor's "vote of confidence" on the bourse.
"The investing community which is continuously searching for new counters will be pleased to note that Axia is the second listing on the ZSE in 2016," she said, jokingly adding the bourse would no longer be associated with the term "listing drought."
Financial services firm, Getbucks Limited also listed on the bourse in January.-The Source

The  is a rapid transit line serving Yokohama in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. It is the shorter of the two lines in the Yokohama Municipal Subway system operated by Yokohama City Transportation Bureau. Its formal designation is Line 4, and it is the first section to be opened of a proposed .

The Green Line links  on the JR East Yokohama Line and  on the Tokyu Toyoko Line with  of track and 10 stations. Construction began in 2001 and the new line started operating on 30 March 2008. It uses linear motor propulsion and a full journey takes approximately 21 minutes one way.

Stations
Platforms are above ground at Kawawachō, Center-Kita, and Center-Minami stations and underground at other stations.

Rolling stock

The Green Line is operated by 17 4-car 10000 series EMUs. In 2018, it was announced that 10 of these would be lengthened to six cars each by 2024 as a measure to ease overcrowding on the Green Line. The first lengthened trainset is expected to enter revenue service on 24 September 2022.

Trieste was built in 1953, by Swiss professor, scientist and explorer August Piccard. His son Jacques later worked with him on over 100 test dives, 26 of which were financed by the U.S. Navy. Trieste was purchased by the Navy in 1958. In 1960, she made her record-breaking dive. She dove 35,800 feet near the Marianas Islands. Three years later, Trieste located the remains of the lost submarines USS Thresher and USS Scorpion. She was changed, improved and redesigned so many times that almost no original parts remain. (See also Trieste II, Naval Undersea Museum, Keyport, Washington.)


Kagan's FREE Articles - Be What You Want to See!
Be What You Want to See!
This expression was first uttered to me by my wife, Dr. Jacqueline Minor, Director of District Implementation for Kagan Professional Development. I am not sure where she first heard the saying, but from the moment she voiced these words, they stuck with me. Be what you want to see! What a marvelous mantra for those of us in a leadership role, particularly when it comes to issues surrounding student engagement.
It is critical for leaders to send a consistent message to staff. What is more impactful to our teachers is not what we SAY but what we DO. Staff members pay attention to our actions. This is critically important in the realm of engagement. When we say to teachers that we value student engagement but lead meetings during which staff members passively sit, we send an inconsistent message to our team. Be what you want to see! If we value student engagement, we need to engage our staff in meetings.
How do you do that? Well, of course, I would recommend attending the Cooperative Meetings training. This is a powerful workshop for leaders. In this training we demonstrate how to use Kagan Structures with adults in three domains—Relationship Building, Professional Development, and Shared Decision Making. We also discuss various other issues that are pertinent to leading collaborative, interactive meetings (e.g., room arrangement, faculty teams, relational trust).
While this workshop would certainly be of benefit, even without this training you can make your meetings more engaging. Start by attending the cooperative learning training with your teachers, and then use the Kagan Structures that are introduced in the workshop during your meetings. For example, in the day one training we discuss the importance of classbuilding and teambuilding. The structures learned on that day of training can also be used in faculty settings. Staff members can experience for themselves the power of community building. Consider the examples below.
Describe your favorite "me" time.
Create a list of adjectives that describe your department or grade level.
Use the "All About Me" question cards on page 10.6 of the Kagan Cooperative Learning book.
However, Kagan Structures can also be used to discuss issues of educational significance. In the cooperative learning training we emphasize the value of processing information frequently. Teachers can experience how critical this is to learning as they process important information related to their profession. Highlighted below are illustrations.
What do you feel our school data is telling us?
Brainstorm strategies to use with disruptive students.
Discuss an article read by the staff or a recent decision made by the department of education.
Will you be perfect with the Structures? Perhaps not, but your staff will respect your willingness to take a risk and venture into new territory, which is exactly what you are asking them to do. Know this—every time you use a Kagan Structure in a meeting with your staff, you are accomplishing at least three purposes. First, you are functioning as an instructional leader by demonstrating a best practice. Next, you are enabling teachers to experience firsthand the power of Kagan Structures. Finally, you are sending a clear message to your staff—engagement is critically important. Be what you want to see!

Chapter 9: We're Seriously Rich
If this truly happened, the third hallmaster could almost imagine the type of punishment he would face when the lord hallmaster returned!
Although it was just a healing medicine, it was something that every practitioner needed. This size of this market was an astronomical figure.
Not to mention that this was an exclusive trade, available only at this store and no others. They would be able to corner the market with complete peace of mind.
This type of business opportunity happened less than once in ten lifetimes! If they missed out on it, they wouldn't even be able to find a place to cry.
"Sir, anything can be discussed! Our Hall offers complete sincerity in discussing this matter. How about this, the Hall first offers ten thousand silver as a token of our genuinity. Please treat it as a gesture of friendship, of our desire to be friends with the noble sir. I can also be so bold as to agree to the terms of a 50/50 split. We can sign the cooperation contract as soon as the lord hallmaster returns."
Jiang Zheng was so happy that flowers were almost blooming in his heart, yet he remembered Jiang Chen's words. Jiang Chen had said that the 50/50 split was the bottom line. If he could negotiate an even better split, then the additional profit would be his, Jiang Zheng's!
Wasn't this opportunity knocking on his door?
"Third hallmaster, I've already given you a chance just now, but you did not grasp it. The 50/50 split is a thing of the past. Now, hmph! If we don't reach an agreement, it will be 70/30. I believe that the Temple of the Farmer God or the Pill King Garden would still be willing even with a 70/30 split."
This wasn't exhortation, but a simple fact. The Temple and Garden had always covetously eyed the Hall's position as the pill market leader in the kingdom. How would they pass up such an opportunity that had come knocking on their door?
The pill medicine's costs were roughly ten percent. Even with a 70/30 split, there was still room for twenty percent profit.
This twenty percent profit was no small thing. Twenty percent profit of a cornered market was still a showstopping figure. After all, this thing would be able to dominate the markets of all sixteen surrounding kingdoms!
Low profit margins were not a match for low margin and high volume!
"...draft the contract immediately! Attend to me! Immediately offer ten thousand gold to this gentleman as a sign of our sincerity!" The third hallmaster really wanted to slap himself now. Why hadn't he been more enthusiastic earlier? Why hadn't he been more resolute?
A perfectly fine 50/50 split had turned into this in a blink of an eye.
But it was still a good deal. The third hallmaster decided to still go through with the deal as he thought of the future potential of this business. Best not to irk this gentleman further. The 70/30 split would become real if he changed his mind again. That would a loss of another ten percent of profit.
Jiang Zheng felt like he was surrounded by happiness and contentment after he'd accepted the ten thousand gold. He patted the third hallmaster's shoulder, "You are quite a likeable guy. Let's split, I'll do 60 and you do 40. We can happily settle on this!"
Jiang Zheng almost forgot how he got home. He felt like his entire body was floating and that he would drift away to the clouds as he walked on the street.
He was too happy, too excited.
So excited that he almost suspected that he was dreaming!
The ten thousand gold was nothing in his eyes now. The contract had been drafted, and he had reviewed it. He remembered that the young duke had promised that he, Jiang Zheng would be able to keep the profits of any split more favorable than the bottom line of 50/50.
But he hasn't signed it. After all, the young master had to weigh in on this. He was just an underling, and didn't dare overstep his place by signing a contract without the express orders of his master.
Jiang Zheng counted on his fingertips. If he converted this ten percent profit into silver, then the proceeds would be enough for him to live in style for a long while.
Delicacies from land and sea, dressed in fine attire and riding well groomed horses, a manor and surrounding lands, home filled with gold and silver.
At this moment, Jiang Zheng felt that this kind of life was already staring at him in the face.
Conversing with the powerful, befriending the noble, wives coexisting in harmony, doting on sons and grandchildren.
This kind of life was already waving to him from afar.
Regulars at the Autumn Crane, financier of the Garden of Returning Spring, whoring with dukes and princes, drinking at the same table with esteemed officials.
Naturally, these kinds of scenes wouldn't be too far away!
He returned joyfully to the manor and was about to report the good news to the young duke, but was informed that the young duke had closed his doors for training. Any messages would have to wait.
Jiang Zheng didn't think too much about it as his entire being was enveloped by happiness. He simply decided not to leave, and sat down in front of the young duke's room, loyally filling in the role of a guard.
He still had not regained his calm after he'd sat down. He reminisced about the young duke's historical antics, and thought about the astonishing events of today.
Jiang Zheng couldn't help but suspect, "Has the young duke been a charlatan all along? Was he testing me with those nonsensical actions before? Was he pretending to be weak, when in fact he was quite strong?"
Whether it was being a charlatan or truly a visitation from the gods, Jiang Zheng clearly realized that his doubts from before were quite incorrect.
He knew that even if the young duke had no other redeeming qualities about him, this pill recipe alone represented unlimited potential!
As the young duke's personal body servant and steward, it would be a grave mistake if he didn't keep close to the young duke's footsteps!
"I was being silly before in wanting to quit. Thank goodness the young duke still believes in me, Jiang Zheng. I've got to do a good job in the future. What does the gain and loss of a moment matter? The young duke hadn't made any moves before simply because he didn't want to. Now that he's made one, it's a grand gesture indeed! It looks like the young duke is no ordinary person!"
Many thoughts were running through Jiang Zheng's head, but the most resolute one was that in the future, he would steadfastly follow the young duke's footsteps. He would not even crease his brow if they scaled mountains made of knives, or dived into oceans of fire.
Wasn't the goal of a steward following a master to attain power and riches?
The more he thought, the more Jiang Zheng's blood thrummed. He would have more status now at home, and could lecture that yellow faced wife of his to not be so short sighted!
Why should I, Jiang Zheng, try to one up the other stewards? So they're momentarily wealthy and temporarily high placed, big freaking deal. Can all of them added together measure up to my haul today?
While Jiang Zheng was happily dreaming of his blueprints to a happy-ever-after, Jiang Chen was taking the first steps on the path of training in both his past and present lives.
One had to say, the past Jiang Chen was the epitome of laziness. His potential was in the top percentile amongst all 108 dukedom heirs, but the effort he put forth was without a doubt the lowest.
"This kid was seriously a ne'er-do-well. All this potential, wasted!" Jiang Chen was a bit dissatisfied with his past self.
The divisions of the martial dao mastery in this world were defined by the initial step of training true qi.
In this world, the basics of martial dao were -- there were twelve major acupoints in a person's body, and twelve meridians flowed through them. One could clear a meridian by clearing an acupoint, and coalesce the body's energy into one current of true qi.
Altogether, there were twelve meridians true qi in the true qi realm.
But in the Eastern Kingdom, there existed no one who had been able to obtain twelve meridians true qi by clearing all twelve meridians, via clearing the twelve acupoints.
Therefore, a sentence existed in the world of training: Twelve levels of true qi separate snakes and dragons.
Whether a practitioner was a dragon or snake depended on how many acupoints he could clear in his body.
Generally speaking, clearing three meant passing. Three meridians true qi were called the realm of initial true qi. These types of people were a bit stronger than your average person. They were suitable for joining the military and fighting in wars, or guarding homes.
If one surpassed three and was within six levels, that counted as intermediate level true qi. This level of practitioner enjoyed higher status amongst martial dao practitioners. Whether it was joining the military or trying their hand in other professions, they would achieve good results.
As for surpassing six levels and staying with nine levels, then that was entering the advanced level of true qi.
There were exceedingly few within the advanced level. If one became an advanced level practitioner, then he would be quite a character in the Eastern Kingdom region.
Those above nine levels would be hailed as true qi masters, but those were as rare phoenix feathers or dragon scales.
They were few and far in between in the entire Eastern Kingdom. Anyone who could train to the ninth level or above would be respectfully titled a true qi master and genius of martial dao.
But of course, the twelve levels of true qi were still only a basic foundation at the end of the day. Within the realm of true qi, one was still only a true qi practitioner no matter how strong he was. If they could not transform their true qi to spirit qi, then their path of martial dao was but an elusive and futile effort. All would be as ephemeral as the clouds at the end of two hundred years of life.
Thus, there was another sentence that existed as one ascended higher: if true qi does not transmute to spirit qi, then one is still a worm.
Adding the two sentences together gave rise to this saying: Twelve levels of true qi separate snakes and dragons. if true qi does not transmute to spirit qi, then one is still a worm.
What did it mean to transmute true qi to spirit qi?
It was the act of training true qi to an utmost level, perceiving the spirit sea, and transforming true qi to spirit qi. It was to borrow the powers of heaven and earth, and transforming to supreme spirit power.
Once true qi was converted to spirit qi, that was when one shook off the shackles of martial dao and entered the dao of spirit.
Spirit dao practitioners created clouds with the flip of a hand, and made it rain with another flip. They could summon forth the wind and rain, move mountains and frame the sea.
It was said that even the combined efforts of ten true qi masters would be unable to withstand a careless blow from a spirit dao practitioner.
It would not be hyperbole to say that if someone entered the spirit dao, then they were truly a golden scaled dragon soaring above the clouds!
There was a legend of a strong spirit dao warrior residing in the Eastern Kingdom. He was a recluse, hidden deeply, and mysterious beyond belief. Even the king would have to humble himself and pay his respects to this warrior.
The funny things was, in the world of martial cultivation, although those walking the paths of spirit dao rarely surfaced, there were still a few. However, there were none that numbered amongst the supreme true qi masters.
What did one mean by supreme true qi master?
It meant a genius martial dao practitioner who had cleared all twelve acupoints and meridians.
In the annals of its history, no one had ever given birth to such a genius in the Eastern Kingdom. Even the surrounding sixteen kingdoms very rarely boasted of one.
A twelve meridians true qi master was even more uncommon than a spirit dao practitioner.
As for the ten, eleven meridians -- each kingdom had a small handful of those.
But for reasons unknown, there wasn't a single twelve meridians true qi master.
Logically speaking, once someone had trained to the eleven meridians true qi, they could absolutely continue the fight and clear the twelve acupoint as well. But the rules of training were just that harsh.
Some geniuses arduously sought after the twelve meridians paragon after training to the eleven meridians true qi, but ended up with nothing in the end, and even missed out on the best timing to attempt to ascend to spirit dao.
According to the laws of martial dao, those under 30 had the greatest chance of transmuting true qi to spirit qi. The probability would shrink by one half if under 40, with no chance at all after 50.
Therefore, if one didn't make good use of time in transforming true qi after training to the eleven levels of true qi, they would forever lose this chance if their age exceeded the appropriate range.
Training to the twelve meridians paragon still meant staying within the true qi realm, and one's lifespan would not exceed 300 years.
But once a practitioner transmuted their true qi, their lifespan would immediately jump to 700 or 800, even 1000 years, giving rise to many more opportunities on the path of martial dao.
Therefore, ten and eleven meridians true qi masters were always faced with this dilemma. Do they continue to explore twelve meridians true qi? Or make the best use of their time and transform true qi to spirit qi?
This was a difficult decision, but reason would win out over impulse for most true qi masters, and they would choose to transform their true qi.
Although the success rate of transmuting was also low, at least it was better than the fleeting gesture of pursuing the twelve meridians paragon, right?
The additional years of life granted from successfully transmuting to spirit qi were the greatest temptation of all.
Of course, the Jiang Chen of today had no time to muse on these matters.
With his current abilities, this was all too abstract and unattainable for him right now. It was something he did not need to think about, for now.
The problem he faced today was to increase his strength as much as possible in order to face the oncoming Hidden Dragon Trials. If he couldn't even pass the basic exams and obtain the right to compete in the Trials, then his first steps in this newly reincarnated life would be truly too depressing.

Sofia Coppola returns to the daddy-daughter theme but audiences are likely to be left bemused or exasperated

Like Monet returning to his lilies, though with perhaps diminishing effect, filmmaker Sofia Coppola has returned to the daddy-daughter theme and to the world of flat, blank, affectless movie actors in flat, blank, affectless hotel rooms.
Weirdly, the movie looks like an acidly satirical comedy about LA celebrity but with all the acidly satirical comedy removed, so that all that is left is a skeleton outline, a series of scenes and locations – hotel rooms, lobbies, swimming pools, luxury automobile interiors – in which essentially gentle, forgiving dialogue takes place.
In her tremendously funny breakthrough movie Lost in Translation (2003), Bill Murray played an ageing, lonely actor on a trip to Tokyo, who finds fleeting companionship and even a kind of redemption in the friendship he strikes up with young and vulnerable Scarlett Johansson; their relationship morphs from platonic flirt to a touchingly paternal care.
Here, Stephen Dorff plays Johnny Marco, a pampered movie actor, holed up in the Chateau Marmont hotel in Los Angeles – a self-absorbed guy who is fawned upon by assistants, producers and especially beautiful women.
He is vaguely troubled by a suspicion that his life is going nowhere – a fact ironically signalled by the title and by the opening, pedantic sequence showing Johnny driving his Ferrari round and round in circles.
Yet he is more borderline asshole than anything else, and never does anything really bad. Then his troubled ex-wife shows up, announces that she needs time for herself and leaves him to look after their 11-year-old daughter Cleo, played by Elle Fanning.
In another type of movie, this girl would be a sharp-tongued, feisty, wise-beyond-her-years cutester who would cheerfully wreck Johnny's selfish adventures in boozing and womanising, and after a few screaming matches, force him to find the real spiritual values of fatherhood. But this never happens. Adorable Cleo just smiles sweetly at him and goes along with everything – more or less like everyone else in his life; there is only the blandest and most lenient recrimination right at the end.
Occasionally, Johnny gets angry texts from women he has bedded and forgotten about, and there's even a confrontation, but this is smoothed over without any fuss.
He goes along to Cleo's skating lessons and beamingly applauds in much the way he applauds the two strippers who poledance for him in his suite. Yet his louche lifestyle never contaminates his relationship with his daughter. Cleo actually shares a bed with Johnny, but there is never the smallest suggestion of anything unwholesome or inappropriate in the arrangement.
Somewhere is a movie which just floats through its running time without any sort of crisis, other than the subtle, insidious crisis of identity creeping up on Johnny.
The movie is, arguably, far truer to life than a more obviously scripted account, and there are some nice touches – for his "old man" makeup, Johnny has to endure a plaster mould slathered all over his head with breathing holes left for his nostrils. Like some monster or Egyptian mummy, we see him stifling with loneliness. Cocooned in celebrity, he can make contact with no one.
Coppola is arguably very indulgent to both daddy and daughter, and to the rich and famous generally, and audiences may be bemused or exasperated, according to taste.
For all the similarities, this does not have the brilliant seriocomic moments of Lost in Translation. If that was her hit single, then this is its B-side.


We have the ability to not let our heart be troubled because Jesus has already given us the gift of His peace. We received His peace when we received Him, and we access His peace as we keep our minds and hearts filled with His Word. And so rather than allowing circumstances and conditions to dictate where our attention goes today, let us purpose in our hearts to focus on the One who is our peace. We will find ourselves walking in His wisdom and guidance in any given situation.

1968. War Correspondents in Vietnam
"The United States Marines in Vietnam are Invaded by Reporters"
"Walter Cronkite conducting an interview in Hue, February 1968" (source)
ABC Washington
The weekly newspaper Sea Tiger is published by the III Marine Amphibious Force now fighting in Vietnam. A few days ago it printed an editorial as the Leathernecks were clearing out the battle area around the ancient city of Hue, and as the Communists kept the pressure on the Marine base camp at Khe Sanh below the demilitarized zone.
We thought you might like to share the warm feelings expressed in this editorial, which is indicative of the morale and spirit in the embattled I Corps area of South Vietnam.
Said the Sea Tiger: "Newsmen of every sort, size, shape, skill, sex and sect descended on I Corps in the past couple of weeks. Sensing the big stories at Khe Sanh and Hue, representatives of every major American news media moved in on the action. Joining them were their counterparts from France, Germany, Britain, Sweden, Italy, Australia, Japan, Okinawa, Korea and Vietnam..."
The editorial continued: "TV and radio networks were well-staffed. ABC News President Elmer Lower was backed up by three news teams. Walter Cronkite of CBS news flew in. NBC had four teams on hand for most of the period. Seven foreign nations had at least one radio or TV crew on hand..."
The Sea Tiger then went on to describe the task forces of war correspondents sent in by the Associated Press and United Press International; magazines like Newsweek, Time, and Life; and the major newspapers in the US and abroad.
The Marine newspaper also noted that the newsmen were suffering casualties. Igor Oganesoff of CBS and Bill Brannigan of ABC wounded at Khe Sanh; Sam Bingham of Empire News, Dana Stone of UPI, and David Greenway of Time magazine hit at Hue, to mention only a few.
And the Sea Tiger summed up: "They come and go—those in the front row of the 4th Estate—with little more recognition than the occasional by-line. But they do the job."
It's a rare on-the-spot tribute to the men and women reporting the confused and dangerous fighting in Southeast Asia, reporting that has become so commonplace on radio and television that Americans take it for granted.
But we like the tribute which the Marine newspaper unconsciously paid to its Leatherneck readers in Vietnam, when the editorial concluded: "So smile! Men, you're on cameras...and in newsreels, documentaries, newspapers, magazines, books and radio..." That's the way the Marines tell it.
This is Bill Downs in Washington.
