Peugeot 208 GTi launches from $29,990
Daniel DeGasperi
Marking a return to the hot-hatch genre for the brand in this country, the Peugeot 208 GTi has arrived priced from $29,990.
Available in 1160kg three-door form only, with a single drivetrain option - a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder producing 147kW and 275Nm, linked to a six-speed manual - the 208 GTi will compete against the forthcoming Ford Fiesta ST and Renault Sport Clio 200, in addition to the current Volkswagen Polo GTI, Skoda Fabia RS, Citroen DS3 and Fiat 500 Abarth.
Standard equipment includes 17-inch alloy wheels, fog lights, leather/cloth seat trim, satellite navigation with seven-inch touchscreen, dual-zone climate control, cruise control, heated electrically foldable door mirrors and auto-dipping rear-view mirror.
Compared with the $2200-cheaper but auto-only Polo GTI and $4000-cheaper and manual-only Fiesta ST, the 208 GTi gets part leather, an extra zone for the climate control and touchscreen sat-nav over both.
Peugeot cites that fixed-price servicing - at $370 per 15,000km or annual service until 60,000km or three years - and a package where owners cite the number of kilometres the car will travel over a two-, three- or four-year period and agree upon a future trade-in value further enhances the value proposition.
The Peugeot 208 GTi claims a 6.8-second 0-100km/h and 5.9L/100km combined. Compared with the regular 208 it gets wider tracks - up 10mm front/20mm rear - recalibrated dampers, reworked anti-rollbar and front subframe, enhanced rear crossmember rigidity, and unique suspension.
With the 208 GTi, Peugeot is targeting 35- to 50-year-old males with no kids who have a high household income of $150K plus and who have a "strong passion for a driver-focused sports car".
The brand claims the average buyer is a risk taker, prepared to pay more for quality, is adventurous, loves technology, and feels individuality is important.
Peugeot will lead with a brand campaign titled 'GTi is Back' with the 'i' in red complementing the 'Back' also in red. It will be run on television and have a strong digital schedule.

Colin Powell endorses Hillary Clinton
Republican Secretary of State Colin Powell says he's going to vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton instead of his own party's candidate, millionaire reality TV star Donald Trump.
"I am voting for Hillary Clinton," he said, according to Matthew Cohen, a spokesman for the association. Mr. Powell went on to praise Mrs. Clinton for her skills as a leader and her experience.
Paule Pachter, a Long Island Association board member, said that Mr. Powell was blunt.
"He said he would support Hillary Clinton and he also elaborated on several reason why he felt that Donald Trump was not the right candidate," he said. "He spoke about his inexperience, he spoke about the messages that he's sending out every day to his supporters, which really paints our country in a negative light across the globe with all our allies."
Powell had recently expressed some annoyance at Mrs. Clinton dragging him into the private email server imbroglio. I wonder if Trump's foolish and clueless remarks about the attack on Mosul was the last straw.

How long can you really hold your breath?
The Guinness World Record for breath-holding belongs to Aleix Segura Vendrell, who managed 24 minutes and 3 seconds floating in a pool. How do Vendrell and others, like free divers and, er, David Blaine (see below) do it? Psychological training is obviously the first step, says Clayton Cowl, chair of preventive occupational and aerospace medicine at the Mayo Institute. But there's physiology at work too. From Smithsonian:
Olympic swimmers seem to be able to go great distances without breathing, but that is primarily due to aerobic conditioning, says Cowl. Those athletes are more efficient at getting oxygen into the tissue and extracting carbon dioxide. That allows them to breathe more effectively, and potentially, improve their breath holding.
Just being in the water may confer additional breath-holding ability. All mammals have what is known as a diving reflex. The involuntary reflex is most obvious—and pronounced—in aquatic mammals like whales and seals. But humans have this reflex, also. The purpose seems to be to conserve the oxygen that is naturally stored throughout the body, according to one study.
When a mammal dives into the water, the heart rate slows, and the capillaries of extremities like arms and legs—or flippers—constrict. Blood and oxygen is redirected towards the internal organs. The reflex helps diving animals override the need to breathe, which means they can stay underwater longer.

The math behind solving the Rubik's Cube
In this Scientific American video, Rubik's Cube master Ian Scheffler, author of the new book Cracking the Cube, explains some of the math behind "speedcubing." Scheduler's book sounds fascinating even though the only way I could get my Rubik's Cube solved is to hand it to my 10-year-old son's friend Luc who was the first to dazzle me with the fine art of speedcubery.
From the description of Cracking the Cube:
When Hungarian professor Ernő Rubik invented the Rubik's Cube (or, rather, his Cube) in the 1970s out of wooden blocks, rubber bands, and paper clips, he didn't even know if it could be solved, let alone that it would become the world's most popular puzzle. Since its creation, the Cube has become many things to many people: one of the bestselling children's toys of all time, a symbol of intellectual prowess, a frustrating puzzle with 43.2 quintillion possible permutations, and now a worldwide sporting phenomenon that is introducing the classic brainteaser to a new generation.
In Cracking the Cube, Ian Scheffler reveals that cubing isn't just fun and games. Along with participating in speedcubing competitions—from the World Championship to local tournaments—and interviewing key figures from the Cube's history, he journeys to Budapest to seek a meeting with the legendary and notoriously reclusive Rubik, who is still tinkering away with puzzles in his seventies.
Getting sucked into the competitive circuit himself, Scheffler becomes engrossed in solving Rubik's Cube in under twenty seconds, the quasi-mystical barrier known as "sub-20," which is to cubing what four minutes is to the mile: the difference between the best and everyone else.

Is the smartwatch fad over?
A new study by IDC shows the market for smartwatches is shrinking. I think they are ugly, and mechanical watches are art.
Via IDC:
The worldwide smartwatch market experienced a round of growing pains in the third quarter of 2016 (3Q16), resulting in a year-over-year decline in shipment volumes. According to data from the International Data Corporation, (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Wearable Device Tracker, total smartwatch volumes reached 2.7 million units shipped in 3Q16, a decrease of 51.6% from the 5.6 million units shipped in 3Q15. Although the decline is significant, it is worth noting that 3Q15 was the first time Apple's Watch had widespread retail availablity after a limited online launch. Meanwhile, the second generation Apple Watch was only available in the last two weeks of 3Q16.
"The sharp decline in smartwatch shipment volumes reflects the way platforms and vendors are realigning," noted Ramon Llamas, research manager for IDC's Wearables team. "Apple revealed a new look and feel to watchOS that did not arrive until the launch of the second generation watch at the end of September. Google's decision to hold back Android Wear 2.0 has repercussions for its OEM partners as to whether to launch devices before or after the holidays. Samsung's Gear S3, announced at IFA in September, has yet to be released. Collectively, this left vendors relying on older, aging devices to satisfy customers."
"It has also become evident that at present smartwatches are not for everyone," said Jitesh Ubrani senior research analyst for IDC Mobile Device Trackers. "Having a clear purpose and use case is paramount, hence many vendors are focusing on fitness due to its simplicity. However, moving forward, differentiating the experience of a smartwatch from the smartphone will be key and we're starting to see early signs of this as cellular integration is rising and as the commercial audience begins to pilot these devices."
I like to wind my watch. Sometimes, when I'm feeling fancy I wear the self-winding.
Ultra-rich people in NYC demand apartments with (gasp) driveways
The hot new amenity that NYC developers are building into their plans for luxury apartment buildings is a porte-cochère, aka a fancy driveway. In fact, in Manhattan an opulent private drive may actually add more valuable to a new property than using that same real estate for additional living space. From Bloomberg:
The trend towards motor courts has accelerated notably in the last two years, according to Kent Security's Alon Alexander, who has seen a major uptick in inquiries from luxury developers on how best to incorporate the feature in an architectural brief. They're driven, of course, by twin concerns: privacy and security.
There's also a less concrete allure to motor courts: in a city where developers want to wring maximum value from every square foot, there's an extravagance in leaving such a large space empty. It tacitly telegraphs a developer's largesse and indulgence, at least according to Alon Alexander's twin brother, Oren. He is a sales executive for 565 Broome. "A regular developer might squeeze a retail site, or extra amenities like a larger lobby, from that space but a driveway is the definition of luxury," Oren says by cellphone, "It's space where you don't typically get it." Jasmine Mir, CMO of Corcoran Sunshine, puts its more simply. "Buying a penthouse at the top of a building is one thing, but the sense of extravagance and luxury associated with having space at street level in a congested place like New York? It gives an amazing sense of wow! to any arrival, a real grandeur," she says by phone from her office.

Beautiful 3D-printed "metamaterial" sculptures that shrink when heated
Researchers from MIT and the University of Southern California 3D printed tiny, and quite beautiful, sculptures out of two different materials that usually expand when heated. But the specific architectures of these sugarcube-sized sculptures instead enable them to shrink when heated. The
effect is similar to a Hoberman sphere, the wonderful isokinetic toy sculpture that mechanically collapses to a fraction of its original size. From MIT News:
The researchers consider the structures to be "metamaterials" — composite materials whose configurations exhibit strange, often counterintuitive properties that are not normally found in nature.
In some cases, these structures' resistance to expanding when heated — rather than their shrinking response per se — may be especially useful. Such materials could find applications in computer chips, for example, which can warp and deform when heated for long periods of time.
"Printed circuit boards can heat up when there's a CPU running, and this sudden heating could affect their performance," (MIT mechanical engineer Nicholas X.) Fang says. "So you really have to take great care in accounting for this thermal stress or shock…"
Fang and his colleagues printed small, three-dimensional, star-shaped structures made from interconnecting beams. They fabricated each beam from one of two ingredients: a stiff, slow-to-expand copper-containing material, and a more elastic, fast-expanding polymer substance. The internal beams were made from the elastic material, while the outer trusses were composed of stiff copper.
"If we have proper placement of these beams and lattices, then even if every individual component expands, because of the way they pull each other, the overall lattice could actually shrink," Fang says…
"We now have a tuning method for digitally placing individual components of different stiffness and thermal expansion within a structure, and we can force a particular beam or section to deflect or extend in a desired fashion," Fang says. "There is room to experiment with other materials, such as carbon nanotubes, which are stronger and lighter. Now we can have more fun in the lab exploring these different structures."

Please donate for Carson Lebkowsky's funeral expenses
I received the shocking and sad news that Jon Lebkowsky's 16-year-grandson Carson died suddenly this week. Jon was one of the early editors at bOING bOING (the zine) and a great supporter of Boing Boing on The Well. He is also one of the founders of EFF Austin and an all around activist for good. Please consider donating to Carson's funeral expenses at Go Fund Me.
I am a family friend of the the Lebkowsky family, and have known Carson since he was a tiny tot. Carson was just 1 month shy of his 17th birthday, November 23rd. He knew and loved God, loved his family and friends, and loved to make others smile. Carson had such a huge heart, and would give whatever he had to help someone. He was so proud of his family and his love for them showed when he was with them. His personality was so outgoing… as long as you were laughing and smiling he was having a great time!
On the morning of October 23, 2016, Carson's family went to wake him up to start the day only to find that he was not breathing. EMS arrived and made every attempt to save Carson, however it was unsuccessful. Carson passed away in their family home in Austin, Texas.
Carson leaves behind his parents, Robert and Dana; his older brother, Colton; grandparents, numerous aunts and uncles, cousins, and a lot of friends. He will be greatly missed and never forgotten.
His death was very unexpected and I have started this fundraiser to help with the funeral expenses. The death of a child is something that no family is every prepared for, emotionally or financially.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please say a prayer for the family, share the link to this page, and please donate if you can. Any amount is greatly appreciated.

Twitter to cut hundreds of jobs
I still love Twitter and hope it finds a way forward. But it looks like all the potential suitors have passed on buying it, and job cuts are in the offing.
Twitter Inc., having failed to sell itself, is planning to fire about 8 percent of its workforce as the struggling social-media company prepares to go it alone for the time being. Twitter may eliminate about 300 people, the same percentage it did last year when co-founder Jack Dorsey took over as chief executive officer, according to people familiar with the matter. Planning for the cuts is still fluid and the number could change, they added. The people asked not to be identified talking about private company plans.
The other day, "George Zimmerman" was trending again. It was right there in the little box on the homepage. When you clicked on this hashtag, the second result was (and still is) an exhortation to follow a fake/ironic George Zimmerman account, with this bio:
Perhaps I get unique results for some algorithmic or settings-based reason that escapes me; it shows up irrespective of whether I have the "sensitive media" content filters checked. It looks like anyone from Salesforce or Disney who fired up Twitter last week and clicked on this promoted topical hashtag got this in their face. Maybe it's naive to think they would have been influenced by this, or that it's an easy thing to exclude at Twitter's scale. But I can't escape the nagging feeling that it being there represents a decision. I don't get it.
So I guess my question for Twitter is this: what value is there in telling people, who click on a top trending hashtag, of Fake George Zimmerman's opinion of niggers? Why is that worth keeping, when 300 employees aren't?

2. He built a site that made revenue in a way that was previously uncharted.
3. He built it according to his own rules, without needing to pressure writers and editors to publish as often as possible.
4. He built a brand and a site that launched many copycats but no one ever matched it.
5. His sites work thanks to trust built up between readers and writers, and it works because editors help maintain integrity since the day it launched.
6. He did it all in a place far, far from the tech hubs of SF and NYC, in Honolulu. Where he gets to surf almost daily.

Al Franken and FCC commissioner Clyburn want limits on forced arbitration
Arbitration was conceived of as a way to allow giant corporations to avoid costly court battles by meeting with a mediator and talking things out: but since the Supreme Court ruled (in a series of mid-1980s cases) that companies could force their customers and employees into arbitration by adding "binding arbitration" clauses to the fine print in take-it-or-leave contracts, the US justice system has gone dark, which an ever-larger proportion of legal action disappearing into the opaque bowels of the arbitration system, where the richest participant usually wins.

Pilanesberg Game Reserve is about two and half hours drive north of Johannesberg and whilst quite small compared to South Africa's National Parks has a wide variety of animals. It is well worth visiting for a day or two.
It's amazing what the Southern Red Bishop will do to attract a mate. Attractive?


A few, a happy few, have it easier, I guess. According to Ma, LittleBro was such a good sleeper that she asked the Midwife whether she should be waking him up for feeds. "Are you mad?!" came the practical response.
Great-Aunthood is a completely different kettle of fish, though. One of the present joys in my life is being allowed to steal my niece's baby, Carrot, for a few hours each week. I meet with friends who mind grandchildren and we luxuriate in being able to watch the toddlers play, knowing that someone else will have the job of getting them to sleep that night.
As it happens, Rag, Tag and Carrot were born within the space of a month, so it is very tempting to play a game of living …. I was going to say 'Top Trumps' but am trying to give up the T word. They are, of course, all exceptionally gifted children. Rag sings her way through the morning, every activity accompanied by a cheery 'e i e i o'. Tag has just learnt to shrug, which he does with such easy charm that he'll be having the birds swooning down from the trees before long.
As for Carrot, well she's definitely the steadiest on her pins. We are generally a family of early walkers, having square feet and very, very low centres of gravity. Carrot is a regular John Noakes: if it's there, she'll climb it. Give her a box of toys and within minutes she'll have emptied the box and be clambering. Which is going to be a useful skill later, when trying to reach those top shelves: as I say, low centres of gravity.
And what an indulgence – being able to play with children and read with children with not a post-it note in sight! Rag can turn the pages of a book correctly, Tag takes turns in throwing a ball, Carrot is starting to join in with action songs yet I don't have to write any of it down! We can just have fun.
I was up at the hospital yesterday looking at a web-based resource which is being developed to provide online support to people living with Parkinson's. Very promising at first sight; I wish something similar had been around when I was first diagnosed.
Jeannie is also on the committee, which is great because she's an inspirational cove; particularly a testament to the benefits of exercise. One of the activities we were asked to do yesterday, was to write a short description of our PD and how it affects us. Jeannie pointed out that it might also be useful to reflect on any positive things that have come from having the diagnosis.
I remember, in the early days, receiving a thoughtful email from a friend who was – still is – living with MS. One phrase came as a total surprise: "life is good" she said. At the time, I couldn't reconcile this with my fears for the future; but of course she was quite right.
If it hadn't been for PD, I'd be this second looking out of the classroom window and wondering if it was going to be wet play. Instead, I'm off to try out a new aqua aerobics class: I hope Jeannie would approve.
Found out this week that you can use GiveAsYouLive when booking Cineworld tickets online! So even if the film is overrated, that's a couple of quid for your chosen charity.

AirBaits' Bubbler
July 01, 2019 By Ned Kehde
AirBaits' Bubbler is an unique soft-plastic finesse bait.
Derrick Holmes of Indianapolis, Indiana, who is the proprietor of AirBaits, said that he and some friends were brainstorming in November of 2018 about soft-plastic baits, and during this get together, the Bubbler was conceived.
In February, he sent us a prototype to work with and examine.
It is a 3 5/8-inch tube.
But it is not like the traditional tube that the late Bobby Garland created in the early 1980s. He called it the Fat Gitzit. Until the 1983 U.S. Open at Lake Mead, Nevada, Garland had kept it a secret, but he fished with the late Guido Hibdon at that tournament. After Hibdon discovered the manifold virtues of the Fat Gitzit, it became a prominent tool in Hibdon's repertoire and the repertoire of the early practitioners of Midwest finesse fishing.
Garland's Fat Gitzit and the scores of tubes that others have manufactured since the 1980s are adorned with an array of tentacles. The Bubbler, however, is devoid of tentacles.
And except for the first half of an inch, the Bubbler's torso is hollow. The solid area is designed to provide a firm spot for anglers to affix a jig or a short segment of the shank of an offset hook.
Holmes manufactures it from what he described in Mar. 7 email as a "super buoyant material," saying that it is "the most buoyant [soft-plastic] lure I personally have ever played with." Consequentially, when the Bubbler is affixed to a mushroom-style jig with an exposed hook, its tail and entire torso will be elevated from a 75- to 90-degree angle from the bottom of a lake or stream when it is being retrieved with a drag-and-deadstick presentation or a drag-and-shake presentation or a hop-and-bounce presentation. And when a Midwest finesse angler employs a straight swimming retrieve or the swim-glide-and-shake presentation, the Bubbler's buoyancy will allow it to glide and swim rather subtly and effortlessly.
The Bubble is graced with an anterior section and a posterior section.
The anterior section, which includes its head, is 1 3/4 inches long.
Its head is dome shaped with a width of about three-eighths of an inch and a circumference of about 1 7/16 inches.
At a half of an inch from the tip of the head, the torso is about a half of an inch wide with a circumference of about 1 1/2 inches.
Slightly above the junction of the anterior section and the posterior section, the torso has a width of about three-eighths of an inch and a circumference of about 1 7/16 inches.
The posterior section is 1 3/4 inches long. At the tip of the posterior section, which might be described as its anus, it has a width of about five-sixteenths of an inch and a circumference of about 1 1/16 inches. The Holmes said that the anus was designed to expel air bubbles when anglers executes a shaking motif during the retrieve, but when anglers execute a deadsticking motif, bubbles will not radiate out the hollow torso and its anus. In a Mar. 7 email, Holmes wrote that the material and design of the Bubbler allows it to trap air inside the torso's anterior section.
Its epidermis is smooth.
It is manufactured in the following hues: Black, Bone, Brown, Chartreuse, Green Pumpkin, Green Pumpkin Blue, Green Pumpkin Orange, Green Pumpkin Purple, Junebug, Plum, Real Red, Roadkill, Watermelon, Watermelon/Black Flake, Watermelon/Red Flake, and White. There are eight laminated hues: Black and Deep Blue, Green Pumpkin and Deep Blue, Green Pumpkin and Violet, Green Pumpkin Orange, Peanut Butter and Jelly, Red and Black, Watermelon and Brown, and Watermelon and Chartreuse. Holmes said that some of these colors will change in different water temperatures. They will also be different in the sunlight than they are in the shade.
Holmes says the AirRig is exceptionally soft and surprisingly durable.
It is impregnated with anise and garlic.
It is available in two different buoyancy formulas. Holmes describes one as a buoyant AirRig, and the other is a super buoyant AirRig.
According to Holmes, they are easy for anglers to dye with products like that Spike-It's Dip-N-Glo Worm Dye.
Midwest finesse anglers will affix the Bubbler to a mushroom-style jig with an exposed hook, and the head of the jig will not be inserted inside the hollow cavity of the Bubbler's torso, which is the way Guido Hibdon originally taught his Midwest finesse colleagues how to fish with a tube . Because the Bubbler is so buoyant, Holmes says that it will float on the surface when it is affixed to a 1/16-ounce jig, and the only way to get it to sink is to remove all of the air inside the cavity of its hollow torso. But during our research with the prototype, we found that it will slowly sink without removing the air, and it will exhibit a delicate gliding motif as it sinks when it is affixed to a 1/16-, 1/20-, and 1/32-ounce jig.
As we have noted many times our Midwest finesse columns, Midwest finesse anglers are inveterate customizers. And the Bubbler's posterior section looks as if it will be an easy area to customize. Some of these Midwest finesse anglers might also trim a portion of the first half inch of its anterior section, which will allow them to insert a tube jig inside the cavity and adjacent to the tip of the anterior section.
A package of 10 costs $7.95.

The new Sony Ericsson R300 Radio and R306 Radio place the first combined AM/FM radio experience at the heart of the mobile phone.
Delhi, India – 24th January 2008 – Sony Ericsson today announced the launch of two new mobile phones, the R300 Radio and R306 Radio, both designed to deliver a credible radio-listening experience to a global audience, and ideally suited to emerging markets such as India.
Both of these new phones are designed to have a clear radio look-and-feel. Sit either phone on its side and let the radio blast out through the dedicated loudspeaker…in stereo in the case of the R306 Radio.
Preset buttons on the front of both the R300 Radio and R306 Radio let you switch easily between your favourite stations. It takes just one click to boost the volume when you want to share music on the radio or the live action from the sports ground.
These two phones really let you get the most from the radio. Set it as your alarm clock or record the final moments of your team's winning match and play back the commentary again and again. You can even record a clip of a song and use it as your ringtone.
TrackID™ is now a familiar feature on many of Sony Ericsson's high tier phones. It now comes as standard on both the R300 Radio and R306 Radio, turning listeners into instant music experts! Record a clip of a song from an external source, such as a sound system in a coffee shop or bar, and find out within seconds who sang it, the name of the track and which album it is from. All in just one click.
With the R300 Radio you can listen-in via the stereo headphones provided or 'play it loud' thanks to the high performance speaker integrated into the phone. Switch on 3D sound enhancement or volume boost with the dedicated Audio Enhancer key on the phone.
The R306 Radio opens up into a clamshell with two integrated stereo speakers that face the listener. Again featuring the Audio Enhancer key, you can activate volume boost when listening to the radio through the speakers or 3D sound enhancement when you have the stereo headset plugged in, ensuring a first-class radio listening experience even when it is noisy around you. See which station you are tuned-in to on the phone's external display.
Both phones feature Bluetooth™ technology, allowing you to handle your phone calls handsfree with optional accessories such as the Bluetooth™ Headset HBH-PV703.
The R300 Radio offers a built-in VGA camera and the R306 Radio boasts a step-up to a 1.3 megapixel camera on-board. So whether you are listening to the radio or not, these two new phones are set to hit the right note.
The R300 Radio will launch in two colours: Antique Copper and Steel Black. It is a GSM/GPRS 900/1800/1900 phone that will be available in selected markets from Q2 2008. The R300a Radio is a GSM/GPRS 850/1800/1900 phone, available in the same timeframe.
The R306 Radio will launch in two colours: Coffee Black and Champagne White. It is a GSM/GPRS 900/1800/1900 phone that will be available in selected markets from Q3 2008.
The R306a Radio is a GSM/GPRS 850/1800/1900 phone, available in the same timeframe.

The Last of the UK Orcas May Be Sterile
A dwindling pod of nine orcas in the UK lost another whale in 2016, apparently to fishing line, but perhaps to now-banned pollutants. Those chemicals, PCBs, cause infertility, brain damage, cancer, and other physical damage when they accumulate in high concentrations of animals' fat stores.
[DIGEST: IFLS, Independent, EPA, The Guardian, BBC]
The UK's only resident orca pod lost another member in 2016. Only eight orcas remain. Scientists first assumed the killer whale lost its life due to entanglement with fishing equipment. Upon further examination, scientists learned that a high level of pollutants may have led to this particular orca's death, in addition to the pod's increasing endangerment.
Last UK Orca Pod Dwindling
Lulu, an orca—or killer whale—washed up on the shores of the Scottish Isle of Tiree in 2016. Lulu belonged to a community, a group with a unique set of characteristics, which was slightly larger than most killer whales.
"The prospects for [their] population were never good but now they're worse. With a population as low as eight the chances of them recovering is slim to nil at this point," according to Dr. Conor Ryan of the Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust, which has been monitoring the community since the 1990s.
Apparently, the 6.2-meter orca died after becoming entangled in fishing line and suffering an agonizingly painful death by drowning over several days before washing up on the beach.
Dr. Andrew Brownlow, chief of the Scottish Marine Animal Stranding Scheme,said the enormous public outcry of grief overshadowed any he has seen. "The response has been astonishing," he said. "It's the highest level of reaction I've seen by an order of magnitude. Killer whales are so charismatic and so iconic that they really capture the imagination. And people have been very affected by the images of Lulu stranded on the beach."
Pollutants Contained in Orca's Blubber
In addition to the loss of another orca, scientists later made another tragic discovery. Lulu's blubber contained high levels of the toxic chemicals polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
Brownlow--Scotland's chief veterinary pathologist—described Lulu's PCB levels as "shocking."
Explaining further, Brownlow told BBC News, "That [level] puts her as one of the most
contaminated animals on the planet in terms of PCB burden, and does raise serious questions for the long-term survivability of this group [of UK orcas]."
The EPA reports that PCBs don't break down easily, and can remain in different parts of the environment – including the water – for long periods. Fish and other small organisms absorb PCBs, which are then eaten by other sea dwellers and people. Orcas, which reside at the top of the food chain, can survive for decades with huge layers of fat where PCBs reside, allowing them to accumulate extremely high levels of PCBs.
Moreover, PCBs can affect brain activity. As a result, scientists suspect the chemical contamination could have played a role in Lulu's death, specifically.
Brownlow said, "Killer whales are incredibly intelligent, they are very nimble, socially aware animals. [Lulu] would have spent most of her probably very long life existing around the waters of the West Coast.
"It is potentially plausible that there was some effect of the PCBs that was in some way debilitating her so she wasn't strong enough or even aware enough to deal with this entanglement [in fishing equipment].
"We very rarely see entanglement in killer whales - actually this is one of the first cases we have documented."
Did PCB Cause Infertility?
Scientists discovered another side effect of PCBs upon examining Lulu; despite her 20-yearage – well past the age of fertility – she had never bred. In fact, there have not been any recorded births in the UK pod in 23 years.
Brownlow, who helped with the analysis, said, "Lulu's apparent infertility is an ominous finding for the long-term survivability of this group; with no new animals being born, it is now looking increasingly likely that this small group will eventually go extinct." He added,
"One of the factors in this groups' apparent failure to reproduce could be their high burden of organic pollutants."
The EPA reports that PCBs create known risks to the reproductive system, and Lulu's blubber contained greater than 100 times the safe limit for marine mammals.
Possible Link Between Toner Cartridges and Looming Extinction
In addition to damaging the brain and reproductive systems, PCBs can also cause cancer. Originally, the synthetic chemicals were used widely in industries during the 20th century because they can resist extreme pressures and temperatures, and remain exceedingly stable. However, beginning in the 1970s, a series of bans around PCBs were enacted around the world because of apprehension about its toxicity to animals and humans.
In January 2016 thousands of printer ink cartridges reportedly washed up on beaches on the Southwestern coast of Britain. Apparently, these cartridges spilled from a Hewlett Packard (HP) cargo ship more than a year previously. Cartridges were spotted along beaches throughout the Atlantic Coast of Western Europe, including the Hebrides off Scotland—with an estimated 370,000 remaining at sea as of 2016—according to Oceanographer Curtis Ebbesmeyer's estimation. Meanwhile, HP claims the cartridges were spilled during an Atlantic storm and planned to set up a fund to pay for collection and recycling.
In Europe, approximately one million tons of PCB-contaminated material needs to be disposed of safely. But that requires incineration, an expensive and difficult, but not impossible process.
Dr. Paul Jepson from London's Institute of Zoology said, "PCB levels in the United States have slowly declined in humans and other biota such as fish for many years now, and the overall PCB mitigation is generally considered to be successful in the US.
"This is partly related to numerous US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Superfund sites, which the EPA is actively working to decontaminate. We urgently need a similar approach in Europe."

6 Brilliant Beauty Lessons We Learned From Charlotte Tilbury's Master Class
The acclaimed celebrity makeup artist gives her best beauty tips to look like an A-lister

In honor of the launch of her eponymous cosmetics and skincare line at Bloomingdale's, celeb-loved makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury hosted a celebratory master class at the department store's N.Y.C. flagship.
Around 20 attendees (myself included) got the chance to learn techniques to apply to a full-face makeup look alongside the master herself. Tilbury, who famously creates looks for the likes of Kim Kardashian, Kate Moss, Blake Lively and Cara Delevingne, debuted a city-inspired "Uptown Girl" look (sultry smoky eyes, brownish rosy lips) using all of her products, including an eye shadow palette of the same name.
"I am very inspired by New York and uptown women who are also muses of mine, like Olivia Palermo, Gwyneth Paltrow and Naomi Campbell," Tilbury said.
RELATED PHOTOS: Metallic Eyeshadow Looks to Try This Fall
Tilbury is beyond obsessed with makeup — she sleeps in hers every night — so spending an hour with her was more than enough time to walk away with more beauty tips than I could use in a lifetime. But I somehow was able to narrow it down to six that are worth sharing.
charlotte tilbury master class
LESSON No. 1: 'Map' Your Brows For a Natural Look
Tilbury likes to use her brow pencil to map out the exact points to shape eyebrows. "Nestle it right next to your nose and make a dot. That's where you start," she said. Then, keeping bottom of the pencil aligned with the nose, she moves it diagonally, across the eye's pupil, to find where the arch should hit. Finally, to determine where the brow should end, she moves the pencil across to the outer corner of the eye and makes a dot there. And if you tend to be heavy-handed with the brow pencil, lighten up: "Don't go too harsh at the beginning of the brow. Give it more depth and go darker at the arch."
LESSON No. 2: For a Smokey Eye, Blend, Blend, Blend!
If there's one thing Charlotte drilled into everyone's heads by the end of her master class, it's the importance of blending out your eye shadow. "It's always about blending, darling. Blend, blend, blend!" she said. Especially when dipping into a smokier shade to darken a look, she suggests sweeping your blending brush "backwards and forwards very gently" in the eye's socket.
LESSON No. 3: Elongate the Eyes With Liner
Tilbury loves to extend eyeliner a bit further than the eyelid for a more feline appearance. "It always looks a little bit sexy," she said. Using a soft brown liner, she lined the outer half of the upper lash line (staying super close to the lashes). "Then, take it up and out [towards the brow's tail] in the outer corner," she told us. Made a mistake? Grab Charlotte's famous Magic Cream and a cotton swab to clean it up in a pinch.
LESSON No. 4: Pump Up Your Lashes
One of the makeup artist's signatures is big, full lashes, and she has a secret to achieve them — no lash glue required. She likes to hold her mascara wand vertically and push the lashes up and out from the root. "Really get into the base to get the maximum elongation," she said.
LESSON No. 5: Don't Pass On a Good Lip Liner
"When I first started [doing makeup], people were like, 'Lip liners? Oh my god, that's so '80s,'" Tilbury said, as she grabbed her award-winning pencil in Pillow Talk. But she swears they'll become a staple for you the second you try one. "So many women who discover this lip liner never go back. It cheats your natural lip line and mimics the color of your lips," she added.
LESSON No. 6: Save Blush for Last
There's a good reason for that. "Once you have your eye and lip on, you can see how much color you actually need on your face," she said. "So, you won't go overboard with the blush and end up looking like Aunt Sally!"
Which one of Charlotte's makeup tips are you going to incorporate into your routine? Tell us below!


Southern Oregon's Rogue Valley has a reputation for culture, starting with the annual Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland. The area is also a favorite among campers, hikers, river-rafters and wine-glass swirlers. Until 2007, golf wasn't much of a factor, but Centennial Golf Club, which opened in Medford in May of 2007 changed things.
You'll now find a variety of golf options surrounding the region's largest city, Medford. The area sits in the Rogue Valley between the Cascade Mountain Range and Siskiyou Mountains. As a result, the climate is drier than most of western Oregon, and it's sunnier than the Willamette Valley, making for ideal golf conditions for much of the year.
With choices ranging from public courses to Country Club Courses the area's golf offers challenges for players of all skill levels. With so many quality courses and resorts to choose from, it's easy to see why southern Oregon is quickly becoming known for it's golfing opportunities.


Wax Equipment Cleaner 500ml: A superb all purpose equipment cleaner, effective on all surfaces including plastic and natural fibres. This product has the additional benefit of being odourless.
Directions for use: Apply undiluted to difficult and stubborn wax deposits. In the case of large build ups, thoroughly saturate the area and wipe away.

About AMERICA'S FIRST DAUGHTER:
In a compelling, richly researched novel that draws from thousands of letters and original sources, bestselling authors Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie tell the fascinating, untold story of Thomas Jefferson's eldest daughter, Martha "Patsy" Jefferson Randolph—a woman who kept the secrets of our most enigmatic founding father and shaped an American legacy.
From her earliest days, Patsy Jefferson knows that though her father loves his family dearly, his devotion to his country runs deeper still. As Thomas Jefferson's oldest daughter, she becomes his helpmate, protector, and constant companion in the wake of her mother's death, traveling with him when he becomes American minister to France.
It is in Paris, at the glittering court and among the first tumultuous days of revolution, that fifteen-year-old Patsy learns about her father's troubling liaison with Sally Hemings, a slave girl her own age. Meanwhile, Patsy has fallen in love—with her father's protégé William Short, a staunch abolitionist and ambitious diplomat. Torn between love, principles, and the bonds of family, Patsy questions whether she can choose a life as William's wife and still be a devoted daughter.
Her choice will follow her in the years to come, to Virginia farmland, Monticello, and even the White House. And as scandal, tragedy, and poverty threaten her family, Patsy must decide how much she will sacrifice to protect her father's reputation, in the process defining not just his political legacy, but that of the nation he founded.

"Painstakingly researched, beautifully hewn, compulsively readable — this enlightening literary journey takes us from Monticello to revolutionary Paris to the Jefferson White House, revealing remarkable historical details, dark family secrets, and bringing to life the colorful cast of characters who conceived of our new nation. A must read." (Allison Pataki, New York Times bestselling author of The Accidental Empress)

Is your mother like mine? Are you a mother yourself? Always on the go with a never-ending 'to-do' list and thoughts swirling around that would make a logistics officer want to quit their job?!
Where do they find the time for themselves while taking care of everybody else's needs? How do you recharge YOUR dwindling battery?
Your time is precious and yet it is one of the most important gifts you can give to another and to yourself. To do so genuinely is to be present in the moment, to enjoy yourself and to be good company to others. It's no good to visit with someone and be completely distracted, absent or grumpy.Work/life balance is becoming more and more difficult to find as we continue to place added pressures on ourselves in a society wrought with expectations and attitudes that do not value balance.
So stop. Take time to consider what is most important to you. Stop and consider how your emotional being is feeling. Stop and feel your body. Does it ache? Are you fighting a disease? Can you feel it at all? What is it telling you? Perhaps you're idea of normal isn't normal at all, it's just what you have become accustomed to.
If that's the case it's time to give to yourself.What do you want to do? Maybe you want to read a book, make time for a yoga class, meet a friend for coffee, get a pedicure or learn how to meditate. Maybe you want to learn to reconnect with your body so that as it learns to relax so you can go forward in your day with more ease, less pain, more awareness, less fogginess, more productivity, less stress.
Massage is one way to gain or start the process of gaining more ease in your body. Both the physical and mental aspects of your body as a whole can be nurtured with massage. It can ease tension and discomfort caused by tired and aching muscles. It can help improve immune system function and provide a better nights sleep.
Now that you have thought about how you might feel about this needing some TLC consider giving yourself or a loved one this gift. It's a gift of time and of health. It's a precious hour where in the treatment room, you become priority, where YOUR needs are met. And as a gift, it recognizes your appreciation for the time that someone like your mother spends on everyone else but herself!
Your mother will thank you.

This might sound very weird, but attending a stuttering self help meeting in London was one of the highlights of my trip to England. When Steven from BSA emailed me through one of the stuttering chat groups I belong to telling me there was a meeting the week I would be there, I was immediately excited. I knew we had to go. All I had to do was convince my friends.
Lisa had never been to a support group before. As a matter of fact, I was the first person she had met face-to-face that stutters. Attending a meeting meant she would meet a whole bunch of people all at one time, and that could be overwhelming. I knew I would have my work cut out for me. I had directions, the tube stops and someone's phone number in case we got lost. We needed all of that, as it was tricky getting there. And Lisa and Tone were up for it. A little nervous, but up for it.
We didn't get lost. We arrived at the meeting with 5 minutes to spare, time enough to visit the loo (after our long walk) and get a libation. We met some of the members in the pub area. They apparently recognized us right away. Tone and I looked like foreigners and sounded like it too, with our Norwegian and American accents. After warm greetings, we headed up to the meeting, which was held in an upstairs room of "The Wenlock Arms", as traditional an English pub as one will find!
This is an ideal place for a meeting for two reasons. Rent was cheap (translation – FREE), and the group breaks at mid-point to go downstairs and refill their libation. Now that is an absolutely wonderful idea. Spirits definitely get people talking. One I might suggest for my meetings here in New York!
From the minute we walked in to the meeting, we felt welcomed. We could feel the welcoming energy in the room. There were 9 persons in attendance, plus us three guests. The group leader, Liz, wisely thought it would make sense to break down into smaller groups of 4, to give everyone the chance to chat and get to know each other. Having foreign visitors prompted good introductions and small talk about who we were, why we were there and what we shared in common.
It was great chatting with different people. And it was great seeing several women there, being very open and comfortable. Liz did a great job facilitating the meeting and Christine shared very openly about her stuttering experiences. I was most impressed with Christine – who put herself out there with severe stuttering and secondaries, but she was totally OK with it. I admired her courage and self-respect, because I felt a bit uncomfortable at first listening to her. (I trust she is OK with me saying this – because I am being honest).
It's somewhat peculiar to me that a stutterer would find another person's stutter uncomfortable to listen to. But in my case, I had not heard another woman with a severe stutter. I was proud to interact with Christine and feel her genuine desire to be herself and share herself.
After the small group meetings, the large group re-joined and some general sharing took place. That was great as well. People talked about what they are looking for in a support group, and why fellowship is so important. That I could relate to easily – for me, just being part of a group and feeling that I belong is very important.
A fellow named John asked to share some of his experiences with the group. John identified himself as a recovering stammerer ,and wanted to let people know what worked for him. He talked about NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming). He had taken a course in the United States and felt that the cognitive reconditioning aspect of NLP really helped him gain fluency. He also spoke about success he has had with hypnosis and the fact that he took some acting classes, which also tremendously helped with his fluency.
I found myself listening intently as John spoke. I was not necessarily listening to his message. No, I was trying hard to hear any evidence that he had stuttered! Yep, I will admit that. When he first starting talking about NLP and hypnosis, I was skeptical. I thought he was trying to drum up business. But it became evident that he was just very passionate about these strategies that had worked for him. And I did hear some very mild stuttering once or twice, so he proved his credibility to me! Thanks John!
John took our email addresses and offered to share with anyone interested more in depth about what worked for him. He also acknowledged that what works for one may not work for another. I liked that – he wasn't trying to offer false hope to anyone. There were a couple of young people there and at least one first-timer, and it is important, wherever we are, to not get anyone's hopes up about "curing stuttering". Right?
I was so happy to attend this meeting. Everybody was wonderfully kind, friendly and open. It affirmed for me what I already knew. That the stuttering experience is a shared experience. We all get it, and feel the same things, whether we are male or female, young or old, British or American or Polish or Indian. I will remember that special evening in North London for along time. The hospitality, the warmth, the camaraderie and the freedom – to be ourselves, all of ourselves, including our stuttering, for all the world to see.
4 Responses to "We Attend A British Stuttering Group"
Thanks for sharing. It was very interesting to hear about a support group out of the United States. I also think it was great that people talked about what helped them. I think that needs to be discussed more in general.
Thanks for the mention! I'm really glad you enjoyed the group meeting. I was going to attend but couldn't make it in the end. I wish I went, it would have been great to meet you and your friends. My colleague Allan said it was a pleasure to meet you and says thank you for your kind words about his partner Christine.
If you ever find yourself in London again you're always more than welcome at the group (I can't promise the weather will improve though).

ATLUTD Weekly Updates: Post SuperDraft
(Atlanta United Twitter)
In a week of the commissioner subtweeting the Players Association to respond to yet another Collective Bargaining Agreement, a lot of uncertainties develop around the league. Through these weird times, we still found a lot of news and rumors centered around the Five Stripes regarding player acquisitions and reunions within the front office. Let's see how things look in our first-ever ATLUTD Weekly Updates below.
Paul McDonough Comes Home
After accepting the Sporting Director position for the inaugural season of David Beckham's Inter Miami, Paul McDonough officially returns to the front office as the Vice President of Soccer Operations, the same role presented in the club in 2016-2018. The Athletic's Felipe Cardenas first reported the homecoming on January 6th, now finally is official. McDonough, credited for his impressive work in both college scouting and around the MLS Salary Cap, resigned from his position in Miami after just one season. Miami has seen a lot of turnover within the club already, with former Sounders' sporting director Chris Henderson replacing McDonough. Phil Neville, old teammate and friend of Beckham, has also been appointed as the new manager, succeeding Diego Alonso after another unorthodox ending.
Paul has received a lot of praise from the fan base with his contributions in helping Tata Martino field the best roster possible during its first two seasons as a club, most noteworthy in the draft. Julian Gressel, the 8th pick of the 2017 SuperDraft, played such a key role in winning three trophies, while Miles Robinson, the 2nd pick of the same year has converted into a foundational piece in the starting lineup. Even Jon Gallagher recently netted the club up to $275,000 in allocation money after standing as the team's leading scorer in a lost 2020 season. McDonough back in the building will be key moving forward.
Bauer, McFadden Selected in Draft
Speaking of success in recent drafts, two new players have joined the family this week: Josh Bauer (Round 2, Pick 4) and Aiden McFadden (Round 3, Pick 5). Originally having the 5th overall pick, Atlanta United traded it to DC United for $125,000 in General Allocation Money and a swap of 2nd rounders (31 for 32). Still, multiple analysts around the league believe we found Top-5 talent with our second rounder in Josh Bauer. Bauer, mocked to be selected by Atlanta United in the first round by Chris Ransom of Draft Utopia, was a two-time All American Defender at New Hampshire. Without a fall collegiate season, Josh made 3 appearances with USL's Birmingham Legion in 2020. Per Carlos Bocanegra, Bauer trained in Atlanta two summers ago due to the NCAA/MLS agreement allowing college exposure in a professional environment and the club has followed him ever since. The fall of Bauer's stock is unknown, but the value was too good to pass up and Josh will have the opportunity to make a strong impression in training immediately.
(Jeffrey Camarati)
Third Round pick Aiden McFadden is the second Irishman selected in club history, who is a solid distributor in the midfield with 6 assists on 49 appearances. McFadden was seen to be somewhat surprised from the news as he did not enter his name in the draft, so he will still have a decision to make in signing a professional contract with Atlanta United 2 or returning for his senior season.
Both Bauer and McFadden impressed in their first press conferences with the media and we wish them both the best in their careers.
Newest Homegrown Contract
Before selecting two college players in the draft, Atlanta United protected winger Machop Chol from other MLS clubs by signing him to a homegrown deal. Chol was a member of the first U18 Academy team but went to school at Wake Forest for four years. During that time, he scored 13 goals and 17 assists in 65 appearances. Bocanegra stated that the club believed he would've been a top-15 selection in the draft if a deal was not reached beforehand. A great story of his progression as a player so far, I am looking forward to continue watching his development in Atlanta.
Two Argentines Set to Join Atlanta?
Reports out of Argentina state that both 37-year old striker Lisandro Lopez and 19-year old midfielder Franco Ibarra will join Heinze and the club this winter transfer window. Respected South American reporter Cesar Luis Merlo has stated both will finalize deals soon. Lopez, a successful finisher across many leagues in Europe and Argentina, will be remembered as a legend at Racing Club. Videos like below show how much the supporters appreciate their captain for his efforts in winning the Primera Division in 2019.
Cardenas also reported that Lopez will occupy a Supplemental Roster spot, which means he will make the league's minimum at $81,375 on a free transfer. This is huge not only for the unknown of superstar Josef Martinez's recovery, but for a young locker room unfamiliar of Heinze's tactics and expectations. Atlanta United deeply struggled to find a scoring threat without Josef, but Lisandro would erase that strong need of effective striker depth right away.
The addition of Ibarra would also supplement a midfield that has so far struggled to replace the absence of Darlington Nagbe a season ago. Ibarra recently found himself starting 10 of the 11 latest matches for Argentino Juniors, who finished 3rd in the league's Championship Division. A fast-growing prospect under Argentina's U20 National Team, the numbers floating around are that Atlanta United is purchasing 80% of Ibarra's rights for $3 million. Merlo, who confirmed today that the transfer has been finalized, hasn't been wrong on an Atlanta United report yet, so there's a very good chance both are officially announced in the coming weeks.
Bello, Robinson Named to Final USMNT January Roster
United States Manager Gregg Berhalter has announced his 25-man roster for the International Friendly against Trinidad & Tobago. On the list are our very own George Bello and Miles Robinson. Bello will have the opportunity to earn his first cap for the national team, while Robinson has made 2 appearances off the bench in 2019. Awesome and deserved chance for both of them to start off the new season. Tune in to see both guys and the rest of USMNT on January 31st at 7 pm on Fox Sports One, UniMas, or TUDN.
On Friday, CONCACAF announced the entire schedule for the 2021 Champions League. The drawing will take place in Miami on February 10th, where each club will learn their Round of 16 opponent and path towards the final. The Round of 16 will be April 6th-8th (1st leg) and April 13th-15th (2nd leg). The quarterfinals continue on April 27th-29th (1st leg) and May 4th-6th (2nd leg). After a break, the semifinals resume on August 10th-12th (1st leg) and August 24th-26th (2nd leg). The final is set for October 26th-28th. I actually enjoy the spread of this year's schedule, as MLS clubs historically find themselves struggling to catch up to Liga MX in the beginning of the season. Atlanta United were gifted a slot in CCL due to being the holding US Open Cup winner. We will analyze and breakdown how things stand when we learn who our future opponent is in a couple weeks, but let's hope the guys can finally make a run in this tournament.
The Coaching Staff Has Finally Arrived in the Dirty South
Doug Roberson of the AJC reported that new manager Gabriel Heinze and his technical staff were expected to arrive in Atlanta by the end of this week. Roberson also noted that once here, the group will still have to quarantine 9-10 days before entering team facilities. Due to the CBA struggles, the beginning of training camp is still to be determined... the anticipation will continue.
Falcons, ATLUTD Retire Number 44 for 2021
A man that defined how to be brave and how to be a Brave, Atlanta phenomenon Hank Aaron passed away at the age of 86 on Friday. In response, both the Falcons and Atlanta United will retire Hank's number this season. Words can't describe how much he meant to the city and to baseball. Rest in peace, Hank.

So cute and perfect for Valentine's Day! I love the sweethearts candy print! They have a silky feel which feels great on your skin.
This sheer blue and white pair have lace in a rose print. So romantic!
Another sheer pair with floral and diamond lace. This hot red makes them another perfect pair for Valentine's day. I feel like they could fray at the top so I'll need to be careful washing them.
I was so looking forward to this month's Splendies because of the Valentines theme. All three pairs are so adorable! Love the styles and colours. As I always mention, Splendies also has a plus size division, Volupties that offers sizes 1X, 2X, and 3X.


"A glaring example of the increasing militarization of academia," says a local anti-war group: a publicity still of the Gladiator Tactical Unmanned Ground Vehicle, developed at Carnegie Mellon University's National Robotics Engineering Center, in Lawrenceville.
Calling Carnegie Mellon University "the world leader in warfare robotics," Alex Bradley and other anti-war organizers from the Pittsburgh Organizing Group are planning a March 2 "complete blockade" of CMU's National Robotics Engineering Center.
CMU's Department of Defense-sponsored software development has long been the target of protests. But Bradley says the NREC, the site where prototypes of such large, armed robots as the Gladiator Tactical Unmanned Ground Vehicle are designed and made, is also a worthy target.
"Before, you might protest at the place making the bullets," Bradley adds. Now, "you've also got to do something about the huge drone that's going to fire the 500-pound missile from 100 miles away. It's the modern equivalent of the bullet factory."
Patrick Young, another POG organizer, notes that the March 2 event will mark yet another anniversary of the Iraq War, which began March 19, 2003. "We've done symbolic actions, pickets, written letters, signed petitions," Young says. "We need to create an opportunity to put us materially in front of the war machine."
No one at the robotics center returned a phone inquiry by press time. But earlier this month, a CMU spokesperson earlier this month said that the institution does not comment on protests.
Both organizers say the group is ready for a police response: Bradley says he expects group members could be jailed. On Aug. 20, a march that blocked Oakland's military recruiting station on Forbes Avenue ended with six protestors arrested after being pepper-sprayed, stun-gunned and bitten by a police dog. On Jan. 8, a judge in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas remanded the case of the dog-bite victim, Carole Wiedmann, back to the city magistrate. Wiedmann is appealing her citation for disorderly conduct. Tapes of the protest show her trying to leave as the dog attempts to bite her on the back of the thigh.
POG is holding trainings Feb. 2-4 for the upcoming civil disobedience, which Young notes is one of POG's more traditional moves. The group has been targeting military-recruitment efforts for much of the past two years. POG is also holding its first "informal formal" to raise money for its efforts.
"March 2 is not going to end the war," Bradley allows, but it's an attempt to instill "a deep-rooted local opposition to the war and militarism that ... raises the pressures in society that are necessary for a change in policy. Not everyone in Pittsburgh will think that what we are doing is the most effective thing. But most everyone will recognize we are taking a stand and paying a price. If they are also against the war, whether they write letters or give money, they have a responsibility to do more."
