Bernstein's Philharmonic: A Centennial Festival (1) – New York Philharmonic/Alan Gilbert – Serenade with Joshua Bell & Jeremiah with Kelley O'Connor, and Joey Roukens's Boundless
Wednesday, October 25, 2017 David Geffen Hall, Lincoln Center, New York City
Reviewed by David M. Rice
Here begins "Bernstein's Philharmonic: A Centennial Festival", honoring Leonard Bernstein, the New York Philharmonic's music director from 1958 to 1969. The programs (shared between Alan Gilbert and Leonard Slatkin) will include his three Symphonies, and here the Serenade with Joshua Bell, preceded by thirty-five-year-old Dutchman Joey Roukens's Boundless, written to complement it. This tribute, influenced by two of Bernstein's piano pieces as well as his affection for jazz, uses the same scoring as Serenade (strings, harp, percussion), its three connected movements marked 'Manically', 'Glacially' and 'Propulsively'. The outer sections feature syncopated rhythms, while the slow, shimmering middle one is the most interesting, its pace so slow as to challenge us to perceive the harp's melody as a recognizable tune as the strings sustain tremolos for an eerie atmosphere.
Bernstein, on commission from the Koussevitzky Music Foundation, completed Serenade in 1954, connecting its five movements with speeches in praise of Eros (the God of love) at that eponymous gathering of philosophers in ancient Greece. Joshua Bell performed with spectacular technique and great expressiveness, and the required members of the Philharmonic were also on top form under an incisive Gilbert, now a guest following his time as music director.
Bell opened in gorgeous terms (Phaedrus's lyrical oration) and then engaged in delightful interplay with the ensemble, contrasted with a lilting dolce tune. Bell brought out the jocose character of the next two movements (respectively Aristophanes and Eryximachus) and the highpoint was the succeeding Adagio that represents Agathon, the host of the Symposium, a tender song. In the final movement, a sometimes-jazzy rondo – beginning with cellist Carter Brey in an impassioned duet with Bell – the clangorous percussion and agitated strings reflect the interruption of Socrates's speech by the drunken Alcibiades.
Gilbert gave 'Jeremiah' Symphony (1942) a stirring reading, drawing fine playing. Each of the three movements relates to the Old Testament seer. 'Prophecy' suggests the intensity of Jeremiah's preaching, with notable contributions here from English horn, bass clarinet and contrabassoon, as well as brass and low strings; the energetic 'Profanation' depicts the corruption against which he inveighed; and 'Lamentation' sets a Hebrew text mourning the destruction of Jerusalem, Kelley O'Connor giving a highly moving account of Jeremiah's woeful words.

4 injured in school bus crash in Hamblen County
Posted: Nov 19, 2018 / 11:18 AM EST / Updated: Nov 19, 2018 / 12:38 PM EST
Four people were taken to the hospital after a school bus crash Monday morning in Hamblen County.
A report from the Tennessee Highway Patrol says a 2012 Ford Fiesta driven by a 16-year-old was entering Andrew Johnson Highway from Bethesda Road around 7:25 a.m. and pulled out into the path of Grainger County school bus number 52, causing the two vehicles to collide.
The Fiesta spun out and ended up in a ditch. The bus also spun and went off the roadway, hitting a utility pole.
The 16-year-old driver and three students on the bus were taken to Morristown Hamblen Hospital for treatment of injuries.
The driver was charged with failure to yield.

OAK RIDGE, Tenn. (WATE) - An Oak Ridge couple and their four-legged and feathered family members are safely together after a house fire. The family crediting their alarm system for saving their home and their pets.
The Moore family says during a severe storm earlier this month, lightning struck one of their underground power lines. It traveled to a power outlet in the home and the family says it sparked a fire in one of the bedrooms.


Days after Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz were among a group of Spanish filmmakers to sign an open letter condemning Israel's actions in Gaza, actor Jon Voight has written that the note "could incite anti-Semitism all over the world."
Voight, who is Angelina Jolie's father, wrote his letter for The Hollywood Reporter.
Bardem and Cruz were both born in Spain, and are among the country's biggest movie stars. They married in 2010.
"Gaza is living through horror these days, besieged and attacked by land, sea and air," read the original letter the couple signed, this according to a translation provided by The Hollywood Reporter. "Palestinians' homes are being destroyed, they are being denied water, electricity [and] free movement to their hospitals, schools and fields while the international community does nothing." The full letter, which carried the headline "[Pedro] Almodóvar, Penelope Cruz and Bardem denounce Israeli 'genocide' in Gaza," was published by Europa Press.
"While I was critical of the Israeli military response, I have great respect for the people of Israel and deep compassion for their losses," Bardem wrote in a statement that The Hollywood Reporter published before its letter from Voight. "I am now being labeled by some as anti-Semitic, as is my wife -- which is the antithesis of who we are as human beings. We detest anti-Semitism as much as we detest the horrible and painful consequences of war."
Voight isn't the only person who was upset with the open letter: Israeli actress Noa Tishby also took issue with Bardem and Cruz in an op-ed she wrote for The Jewish Journal titled "Artists without boarders. Or facts."
Read Voight's full letter over at THR. More from Bardem can be found there as well.


Happy 81st Birthday Donald Duck!
The popular Disney cartoon character turns 81 today as he debuted on this day in 1934 in "The Wise Little Hen".
June 9th is also marked as National Donald Duck Day in his honour.
Donald has been declared as one of the 50 greatest cartoon characters of all times.
Donald Duck made his debut on the big screen on 9 June 1934 and that is why people have always thought it to be the birth date of Donald.
But the authorized autobiography of the cartoon character states that he was born on "Friday, the thirteenth."
One of the cartoons (Donald's Happy Birthday) reveal his birth date to be March 13th.
Some cricket inspiration for Donald!
Donald Duck's name seems to be inspired by legendary cricketer, Donald Bradman. In 1932, Bradman got out for a 'duck' while playing against New York West Indians in North America.
After making his debut in 1934, Donald Duck underwent a few changes in his design in the summer of 1936.
His eyes were made bigger, improving his expressions. His voice was also made distinctly clear.
Apart from his physical features, Disney groomed his personality too. His further appearances gave true glimpses of his personality, his ill-temper which was meant for comical purposes.
Late 1930s introduced Donald Duck's family with his perennial girlfriend Daisy Duck and his three nephews, Huey, Dewey and Louie.
Daisy made her debut in 1940 in the short film, "Mr. Duck Steps Out" while the Louie, Huey, Dewey trio made their first appearance in 1937 in the Donald Duck Sunday Newspaper.
In May 2012, in the German edition of a Mickey Mouse comic, one of the colleagues of Donald Duck shouted "Holocaust" instead of "Congratulations" starting a controversy over his Nazi remarks.
As soon as the publishers became aware of the mistake, the magazine was recalled and the word was blackened by hand.
A new and corrected version of the comic was published shortly.
The death toll has risen to 65 in the river cruise capsizing disaster in the Yangtze River in China.
Acting on the allegations by arms dealer Abhishek Verma that Tytler was given a clean chit after having met the then PM Manmohan Singh, a Delhi court has asked the CBI to furnish a reply on this matter.
Deutsche Bank announced that John Cryan will take over as its new CEO.

Q: How do I get all data from this api into a UILabels in a UITableView? Currently I am using the Tracker Network API for Apex Legends and have hit a problem. I am unable to get all the data back from the api. As you can see below I can call...
self.legendTitle = [json.data.children[0].metadata.legendName]

However, this is only giving me the index of 1. I wanted to know how I could get all these indexes into an array(legendTitle). Currently, I am only receiving one index as the above code shows. Also, leaving out the '[0]' will throw errors.
Here is the code I am using to sort through the APIs JSON.
import Foundation

struct Store: Codable {
    let data: DataClass

    enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
        case data = "data"
    }
}

struct DataClass: Codable {
    let id: String
    let type: String
    let children: [Child]
    let metadata: DataMetadata
    let stats: [Stat]

    enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
        case id = "id"
        case type = "type"
        case children = "children"
        case metadata = "metadata"
        case stats = "stats"
    }
}

struct Child: Codable {
    let id: String
    let type: String
    let metadata: ChildMetadata
    let stats: [Stat]

    enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
        case id = "id"
        case type = "type"
        case metadata = "metadata"
        case stats = "stats"
    }
}

struct ChildMetadata: Codable {
    let legendName: String
    let icon: String
    let bgimage: String

    enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
        case legendName = "legend_name"
        case icon = "icon"
        case bgimage = "bgimage"
    }
}

struct Stat: Codable {
    let metadata: StatMetadata
    let value: Int
    let percentile: Double?
    let rank: Int?
    let displayValue: String
    let displayRank: String

    enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
        case metadata = "metadata"
        case value = "value"
        case percentile = "percentile"
        case rank = "rank"
        case displayValue = "displayValue"
        case displayRank = "displayRank"
    }
}

struct StatMetadata: Codable {
    let key: String
    let name: String
    let categoryKey: StatsCategoryOrder
    let categoryName: CategoryName
    let isReversed: Bool

    enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
        case key = "key"
        case name = "name"
        case categoryKey = "categoryKey"
        case categoryName = "categoryName"
        case isReversed = "isReversed"
    }
}

enum StatsCategoryOrder: String, Codable {
    case combat = "combat"
    case game = "game"
    case weapons = "weapons"
}

enum CategoryName: String, Codable {
    case combat = "Combat"
    case game = "Game"
    case weapons = "Weapons"
}

struct DataMetadata: Codable {
    let statsCategoryOrder: [StatsCategoryOrder]
    let platformID: Int
    let platformUserHandle: String
    let accountID: String
    let cacheExpireDate: String
    let level: Int

    enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
        case statsCategoryOrder = "statsCategoryOrder"
        case platformID = "platformId"
        case platformUserHandle = "platformUserHandle"
        case accountID = "accountId"
        case cacheExpireDate = "cacheExpireDate"
        case level = "level"
    }
}

Then here is my code that I am using to get the data and then put certain data sets into arrays which I would then display in a UITableView.
let formattedName = usernameEntry.text!.replacingOccurrences(of: " ", with: "%20")

    let PlayerStatURL = URL(string: "https://public-api.tracker.gg/apex/v1/standard/profile/\(selectedPlatform)/\(formattedName)")

    if let unwrappedURL = PlayerStatURL {
        var request = URLRequest(url: unwrappedURL)
        request.addValue("My-API-KEY", forHTTPHeaderField: "TRN-Api-Key")
        let dataTask = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { (data, response, error) in
            // you should put in error handling code, too
            if let data = data {
                do {
                    let json = try JSONDecoder().decode(Store.self, from: data) as Store

                    // print(json.data)

                    //account level
                    print("Level: \(json.data.metadata.level)")

                    self.legendTitle = [json.data.children[0].metadata.legendName]

                    self.title1 = [json.data.children[0].stats[0].metadata.name]
                    self.data1 = [json.data.children[0].stats[0].value]

                } catch {
                    print(error.localizedDescription)

                }
                DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() ) {
                self.tableView.reloadData()
                self.viewDidLoad()
                self.statusOfLoad.stopAnimating()
                self.statusOfLoad.isHidden = true
                }
            }

        }
        dataTask.resume()

    }

}

As you can see I also have title1 and data1, which I will also put into arrays for the tableView.
I just have not been able to figure out how to get all available 'legendNames' into 'legendTitle'. (along with the other two)
For API Key: https://apex.tracker.gg/site-api

A:
I just have not been able to figure out how to get all available 'legendNames' into 'legendTitle'

Change
self.legendTitle = [json.data.children[0].metadata.legendName]

to
self.legendTitle = json.data.children.map{$0.metadata.legendName}

Minstrels dish out a spectacular
Forty-two troupes participated in this year's Cape Town Street Parade.
The Cape Town Street Parade (Tweede Nuwejaar), held on Saturday 4 January, again had thousands of spectators shaking their booties as they watched 42 Kaapse Klopse troupes march by.
Hosted by The Kaapse Klopse Karnivaal Association (KKKA) and supported by the City of Cape Town, the event featured approximately 10 000 individual performers.
The groups marched from Hanover Street in District Six, along Darling Street past City Hall and the Grand Parade before taking on a route that came to an end in the Bo-Kaap.
The City supported the event with funding, deployment of City services and assisting with logistical arrangements to ensure a safe event.
Mayor Dan Plato said it was a fantastic atmosphere.
"The various minstrel groups put on a magnificent performance and ensured that the thousands of people lining the streets were thoroughly entertained.
"We want to express our gratitude to all those who made the day possible and the troupes for a wonderful event which contributes a lot to the City's cultural heritage, development and the local economy," Plato said.
Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith, said the annual street parade is one of Cape Town's flagship events.
"The City has a vision for the event's long-term growth and we believe the three-year agreements we signed with some of the organisations are part of ensuring that. This will ensure the event is secure, safe and has certain guarantees which will assist the event organisers in attracting more corporate sponsorship," he said.
The street parade is just one of several minstrel, Christmas bands and Malay choir events that the City is supporting over the coming months.

About this Calculator
The MELD score (Model for End-Stage Liver Disease) is used to estimate prognosis in patients with liver failure. It is specifically used to prioritize candidates waiting for liver transplantation.
As of 2016, MELD-Na score has replaced the historical MELD score for use by the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS). The original MELD score included renal function, bilirubin and INR, while the revised MELD also includes serum sodium. The decision to adjust the MELD score was done to increase access to transplants and reduce waiting list mortality rates by better prioritizing those most in need of a liver. The change is projected to save 50-60 lives per year.
The original MELD score is calculated using the following formula:
MELD Score = 0.957 x Logₑ(creatinine mg/dL) + 0.378 x Logₑ(bilirubin mg/dL) + 1.120 x Logₑ(INR) + 0.6431
Multiply the score by 10 and round to the nearest whole number. Laboratory values less than 1.0 are set to 1.0 for the purposes of the MELD score calculation.
The revised MELD uses the MELD-Na score, which is as follows:
MELD-Na = MELD + 1.32 x (137-Na) – [0.033 x MELD x (137-Na)]
Sodium values less than 125 mmol/L will be set to 125, and values greater than 137 mmol/L will be set to 137.
Given that hyperglycemia can reduce serum sodium, sodium is adjusted elevated glucose using the following formula:
Adjusted Sodium = Measured Serum Sodium + [0.024 x (Serum Glucose-100)]
This means that for every 100 mg/dl (5.5 mmol/L) above a serum glucose level of 100 mg/dl (5.5 mmol/L), 2.4 is added to the measured serum sodium.

I was attempting to ActiveSync the device via serial-usb converter and my desktop but to no avail. I changed the PC Connection settings on the device to the respective COM port as well.
I don't currently have a USB cable for this, but does the device also support ActiveSync via USB?
The TREQ device is configured such that ActiveSync should work with the USB to serial converter right out of the box, assuming that the PC and cable are setup correctly. No special TREQ configuration should be necessary (e.g. changing PC connection settings).
- On the PC Connection dialog in Control Panel on the device, make sure "Allow connection with desktop computer when device is attached" is selected, and that the "Connect Using" field is set to "USB COM5". These are the default settings.
- Boot the TREQ with the USB to serial converter attached. Try disconnecting and reconnecting the NULL modem cable. The PC ActiveSync application should automatically detect the presence of the device and initiate a connection.
- I assume you are using the USB to serial converter supplied with the TREQ developers kit? If not, what is the brand and model number so we can verify that it is supported.
The TREQ does not support ActiveSync over USB, as it does not have a USB device port (only host).
Hmm, I followed your instructions and tried several different combinations of restarting the deskop and device but still no luck. Right now, I have COM1 on the breakout box connected to the null modem cable adapter, which is connected to a serial cable (I also tried without the null modem adapter), then to the serial-usb adapter, and then to my desktop. I booted the desktop with the USB adapter inserted. I also booted the device with the serial cable plugged in.
I assume that it does not matter which serial COM port the cable is connected to on the breakout box, correct? If not true, which port corresponds to the default 'USB COM5'?
The COM ports on the break-out box should not be used for ActiveSync. They are not full COM ports, as they only contain Rx, Tx, RTS, CTS, and ground.
The USB/serial converter (once inserted in the TREQ's USB host port) is the "USB COM5" port. It effectively adds another serial port to the TREQ; and it is a full serial port, which ActiveSync requires.
Please try connecting the components as outlined above, and let me know how it goes.
I tried that as well, but the device was prompting me for driver location for an unrecognized USB device. I didn't know the path to provide.
We have seen this issue before. The USB driver cannot find the driver dll file to load either because the dll file itself, or the registry key that indicates the driver dll path is corrupted or missing.
You should be able to just type ftdi_ser.dll because the \Hard Disk\bin is in the default system path.
1. Make sure that \Hard Disk\bin\ftdi_ser.dll exists. If not, download the latest image zip file, extract, and copy the ftdi_ser.dll to \Hard Disk\bin (using a USB drive). See the OS upgrade instructions below for how and what file to download.
2. Upgrade to the latest TREQ OS image unless you are already running with the latest version. Check this by running the TREQ demo application and looking in the upper-right corner. The latest image was built on 01 June 2006. See instructions below for how to upgrade your OS image.
3. Clean the persistent registry and start with default values. Download the TREQ_CleanHiveCE.exe program from http://www.qsicorp.com/engfiles/treq.php, copy it to the TREQ, run it, and then reboot.
The file you want (as of 07Sep06) is TREQ_WinCE_Image_v0.26_01Jun06.zip.
2. Unzip to a USB flash drive and insert the drive in the TREQ.
You should be able to navigate to \Hard Disk2 in Windows Explorer.
3. Copy all the files from \Hard Disk2 to \Hard Disk (overwriting the existing versions).
I have the latest OS already, so I'm ok on that front. I followed your instructions and I'm good to go now. Thank you very much for all your help!
I have the same problem with the DK I got.
I've tried all tricks in the book but I still get "Unidentified USB device"
Connected null-modem serial cable to COM1 on PC and USB/Serial and that one to the USB port on the BOB.
Last edited by arnigeir on Wed Apr 11, 2007 8:28 am, edited 1 time in total.
The Keyspan USB-to-serial device is not supported by the TREQ terminal.
Only devices that are based on the FTDI232 chipset are supported (see http://www.ftdichip.com/FTProducts.htm).
This device contains the FTDI FT232BL USB UART IC.
If you can find Windows CE drivers for the Keyspan device, built for the x86 processor, we may be able to add support for your USB-to-serial converter.
thanks for the reply. We got this DK sent in from the UK office. I'll talk to the guys over there for the proper USB device as I'm not sure if I can locate the proper unit here in Iceland.
I got a new DK with newer SDK version (1.02) and new BoB from which I've been using so far. I switched the USB ActiveSync cable to the new one (from the older DK) and it failed to establish a connection with my PC. After digging a bit it seems that the 'USB COM5' connection setup is different from the old DK one ie there is no device listed in the 'Select a device' dropdown list in the proviced 'USB COM5' configuration/properties. If I dbl click on the connection I get the error "Error from RasDial". I guess it is because there is no device select (nor listed) in the connection configuration.
The obvious difference between the DK's apart from SDK version is the BoB. The older one has IO ports labelled COM1..COM4, USB and Ethernet but the new one has USB,Ethernet,J1708/J1939,232/422/485 and a EIA-232 port. And the terminal block has fewer connectors.
So the question is how to I set up the USB port for the new BoB and DK to get the ActiveSync working ?
Depending on the the Model of Treq you have, it may or may not have USB through the BoB. For example the Treq-105 does have USB through the BoB. The Treq-103 does not.
Does ActiveSync work using the USB ports directly on the Treq?
With the new development kit and latest software, the ActiveSync connection has been disabled by default. To enable, launch the PC Connection applet in the Control Panel, and check the box that says "Allow connection with desktop computer when device is attached". Then try disconnecting and reconnecting your serial cable.
Is there any documentation on the different models of the Treq and Bob?

Doesn't anyone wonder why Kensington Island Properties insisted on government intervention which resulted in the Memorandum of Understanding, and then refused to sign the document?
The landowners have a right to know what has transpired since the Facilitator was appointed and obviously failed to accomplish anything. Are we supposed to pretend nothing happened and carry on as usual?
The government only created another shitstorm in Union Bay associated with Kensington Island Properties.
Kudos to Michael Briones with the Comox Valley Echo for the following informative piece.
I don't think they'll be reviewing something that KIP has refused to sign.
Somewhere I read that the Memorandum was being reviewed by the CVRD to see if it fit with the Master Development Agreement between the CVRD and KIP. This review was to be completed by the end of the summer (whatever the definition of "summer" was) ?

New Client | Mollie AF
MARCH 2019 - We are excited to welcome writer, creative, and emerging media personality Mollie AF to Achilles PR. Based in New York, Mollie AF just finished writing her first book and is now collaborating on a variety of film, music, and literary projects, slated for launch later this year.
FOX | Pugh: Crisis Comms
MARCH 2019 - Doug Eldridge was in-studio with FOX Baltimore to discuss the crisis communications elements of the "Healthy Holly" controversy surrounding Baltimore's Mayor Catherine Pugh.
"From a strategy standpoint, timing and message management are paramount. By waiting nearly 10 days to issue a statement, the mayor allowed others to fill the silence, write the story, and create the public perception surrounding that issue. She is now in the paradoxical position of having to prove her innocence--at least in the court of public opinion--something which is antithetical to the court of law."
NFL | Halapio Re-signs
MARCH 2019 - Jon Halapio re-signed with the NY Giants. The veteran C/G--who was an Exclusive Rights Free Agent in 2019--inked a one-year deal to stay with the team next season. In 2017, Halapio started six games at RG. In 2018, he was moved to C in the off-season, where he claimed the starting spot by the end of training camp. He suffered a season-ending injury in Week 2, but underwent successful surgery and rehab. Halapio is expected to participate in all off-season training activities this spring and is the projected starter at C within a revamped Giants offensive line.
FOX Business | Kraft: PR
FEBRUARY 2019 - Doug Eldridge was on "Cavuto Coast to Coast" on FOX Business, to discuss the PR fallout, following the reported charges filed against Patriots owner, Mr. Robert Kraft. Doug discussed the dichotomy of delicate internal legal examination versus aggressive outward messaging.
"Mr. Kraft's advisors must consider where this story could go if they don't control the narrative right out of the gate. It's like an uncapped felt tip pen in your shirt pocket--what started as a dot, spreads to a blot, and eventually covers half your shirt. If you don't cap it, the thing becomes much bigger, messier and eventually morphs into something totally different than when it all started."
Brand Build | Lux Tempus
JANUARY 2019 - We were happy to take the creative lead on Lux Tempus Beauty, the newest brand offering from Skincando. We ran top-down creative, which included everything from (literally) creating the name and backstory, to mapping the typography, to early photo direction, to social strategy, to influencer partnerships. You never get a second chance to make a first impression and--for young, emerging brands--you're never going to stand out by blending in.
JANUARY 2019 - Doug Eldridge joined Neil Cavuto on FOX News, to break down potential fan actions--in the court of law and the proverbial court of public opinion--following an egregious 'missed call' at the end of the NFC East Championship game. Fans are filing suit and the (New Orleans) Times-Picayune even ran a blank front page the following day.

Car owners have been advised to exercise extra caution over Halloween and Bonfire Night as research has revealed an annual spike in vehicle damage during this period.
Around 52 per cent more claims are made on Halloween than the average day, with Bonfire Night following closely behind with an increase of 50 per cent, according to Norwich Union data.
Halloween vandals have set vehicles on fire in the past but less extreme car insurance claims have involved broken aerials, wing mirrors and windscreens.
The average cost of damage to cars on October 31st reaches nearly £1,000 and 23 per cent more cars are actually stolen.
Bonfire Night tops this with a 24 per cent increase in car thefts.
He added that the darkness and noise of November 5th in particular gives cover to "opportunistic thieves".
Police forces around the country are preparing to step up their patrols during the forthcoming festivities.

Movie Finance Whiz Fights to Keep His Role
With Relativity Media in bankruptcy, Ryan Kavanaugh's salesmanship is put to the test
Ryan Kavanaugh rose from industry outsider to CEO of Relativity Media, parent of one of Hollywood's largest independent studios. But the company filed for bankruptcy protection in July.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.—Employees called them Ryan Kavanaugh's "A Beautiful Mind" moments.
During presentations to producers or investors with whom he wanted to do business, the chief executive of film and television studio Relativity Media LLC would cover white boards and glass doors with numbers, reminding some observers of Russell Crowe's character in the movie about a mentally ill Nobel Prize-winning mathematician.
"He's pulling numbers out of here and there and you get caught up in the whirlwind of Ryan," said a former Relativity executive.
Mr. Kavanaugh's salesmanship, smarts and charisma help explain how the founder of a company that has regularly experienced financial strains, lawsuits and executive turnover is also widely credited with leading a revolution in which Wall Street banks became comfortable investing in the notoriously high-risk movie business.

But as he rose from outsider to CEO of one of Hollywood's largest independent studios, Mr. Kavanaugh gained a reputation for hyperbole and for discounting critics.
In recent months, as debt payments were missed and cash ran short at Relativity, the CEO insisted that employees focus on the positive: No one was allowed to discuss "bankruptcy" in front of him.
Nonetheless, on July 30 Relativity filed for chapter 11 restructuring, declaring that it had assets worth $560 million and liabilities of $1.18 billion. It laid off 75 employees without severance, leaving 89.
The studio, distributor of midrange movie releases like "Act of Valor" as well as the reality show "Catfish," is now up for sale. Interested bidders must make offers by Sept. 25. Mr. Kavanaugh has just weeks to try to hold on to his perch as a Hollywood power player.
Already, there is a $250 million "stalking horse" bid by creditors who are at odds with the CEO. Some of Relativity's more successful divisions, like its TV operation, could be appealing to smaller studios, but the bankruptcy sale isn't expected to set off a bidding war in Hollywood.
'Catfish,' a reality-TV show in which people track down their online love interests, is one of Relativity's top productions.

"Ultimately, the CEO of a company is accountable for the success or failure of the company. I am the CEO of Relativity, and I am accountable," Mr. Kavanaugh told the Journal. "I am working every day to develop and execute solutions to fix the company."
A comeback won't be easy. One group of lenders has filed a lawsuit calling Mr. Kavanaugh a "con man" who, with other defendants, misappropriated funds to "create the appearance of financial stability for their otherwise cash-strapped company." Relativity denied the allegations in a countersuit that alleged the lenders intended to damage the studio's refinancing efforts.
People who have worked for the 40-year-old describe him as an inspirational but erratic leader who hobnobbed with A-listers, rode a Segway through the office and tried to woo potential partners by piloting them personally on his helicopter.
Mr. Kavanaugh's others passions include physics. He has said he was pursuing a Ph.D. in that field at the University of Southern California, later adding that it was arranged through the film school, where he is a prominent donor. However, the USC registrar's office has no record of him taking a class.
The Los Angeles native began his career as a venture-capital investor who crashed along with the dot-com economy in 2001. His investors included prominent producers, however, and those connections led him into the entertainment world, where he gained a reputation as a sharp financial mind.
Relativity launched in 2004, and soon after it put together two of Hollywood's first "slate-financing" deals that helped fund most of the movies made at Sony Pictures and Universal Pictures between 2006 and 2011. Deutsche Bank, Citigroup, Elliott Management and others poured in billions of dollars.
Mr. Kavanaugh lured such major institutions by creating sophisticated financial models turning movies, usually considered risky by Wall Street, into generic "assets."
"There were a lot of people coming to our doors at the time, but they never got anything done," said one studio executive. "Ryan got the deals closed."
The slate deals put Relativity's name on nearly 100 movies for which it arranged financing but had little or no creative involvement, including hits such as "The Social Network," "Bridesmaids," and "Fast & Furious 6," and flops like "Land of the Lost." The deals also gave Mr. Kavanaugh access to the inner financial workings of major studios, deepening his understanding of the business.
Relativity earned fees of about $1 million for each picture, which Mr. Kavanaugh used to help build his company into one that could produce and release its own films.
But in picking and selling movies, Relativity has been undistinguished. Its short list of moderate hits, which include the Bradley Cooper thriller "Limitless" and romantic drama "Safe Haven," is outweighed by a longer list of flops like the comedy "Movie 43," Harrison Ford thriller "Paranoia" and drama "Out of the Furnace."
Rather than slowly build the film business, Mr. Kavanaugh aggressively expanded into others. Some did well—most notably the TV division that made "Catfish," which airs on MTV.
Others fizzled. In 2009, Relativity paid $150 million for the horror label Rogue Pictures, which he envisioned as a "lifestyle brand" that was "edgy, anti-establishment." Mr. Kavanaugh filed trademarks for Rogue pedometers, sunglasses and a dating website, and signed a deal to rename a club at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas "The Rogue Joint." Such plans never materialized.
As financial strains mounted in recent years, vendors often weren't paid on time, employees said. By June, eight months after he said Relativity was headed for a public stock offering, workers watched Mr. Kavanaugh engage in what they called "the battle of the conference rooms"—running back and forth between conversations with his financial advisers and potential investors down the hall.
Some were assured by Mr. Kavanaugh's success at getting out of sticky situations in the past. It's a skill he prides himself on.
Last year, when he delivered a guest lecture at the Relativity School, a for-profit college in which his company invested, his central theme was about all of the times he has failed, and how he has always bounced back.

FROM THE AUGUST ISSUE: Membrane dehydration technologies save energy, reduce carbon emissions and provide flexibility in ethanol purity. More plants are installing them and more technology developers are offering them.
Membrane dehydration tec-hnology is another cog in ethanol producers' push toward higher efficiency in their plants. The technology brings a bevy of benefits to a facility, including steam and water savings, flexibility and less fusel oils in the distillation process.
As the ethanol industry continues to grow and mature, it's important that it invest in reducing costs and improving sustainability, particularly in terms of energy and water use, says Gillian Harrison, CEO of Whitefox Technologies Ltd. "This ensures it remains competitive, survives when margins are stretched and can fend off attacks from critics on its sustainability credentials.
Whitefox's membrane technology is installed in three ethanol plants, with five more in the works. Meanwhile, Mitsubishi Chemical Corp. is bringing its technology to the U.S. ethanol sector.
Each membrane option has its own specific process. Generally, membrane dehydration involves passing a fuel stream through a membrane to remove water from the ethanol, but each technology is a little different.
Common mole sieve processes in ethanol plants require a periodical regeneration. Zeolite beads used for dehydration collect water as ethanol passes through the process, leaving nearly pure ethanol, and collected water that needs to be purged. So, the process is reversed and ethanol is pushed back through the beads. The water and ethanol mix resulting from that step is reintroduced to the plant's distillation column and the dehydration process begins again, Harrison says.
Whitefox's integrated cartridge efficiency (ICE) membrane technology cuts that regeneration cycle out. The technology uses polymeric hollow fiber membranes. As the mix of ethanol and water passes through the membrane, water is absorbed by the layer on the membrane, essentially dissolving on the layer. A vacuum pulls the water through the layer. Ethanol is resistant to the membrane and exits the system dry, Harrison says. "The membrane technology itself is a continuous dehydration technology that separates the water from the ethanol. It does that a little bit like a filter, but it's not by particle size, rather by chemical affinity.
Mitsubishi Chemical Corp., a new entrant in the U.S. corn ethanol industry, offers its Zebrex membrane dehydration technology, also a continuous process. The Zebrex system is already used in more than 70 plants across the world, seven of which are ethanol plants in Europe and Japan. Mitsubishi is currently working in partnership with ICM Inc. to bring its technology to the U.S.
Both Whitefox and Mitsubishi's membrane systems can run in vapor phase, while Mitsubishi's Zebrex system can run in liquid phase, as well. Each system can be implemented alongside existing pressure swing adsorption processes (PSA)—such as mole sieves—or as a replacement.
Energy reduction, purity flexibility and debottlenecking distillation capacity and dehydration are the main benefits of membranes Hartig shared with his audience at the FEW.
With Whitefox's technology, vapor can be pushed through the membrane at 50 to 70 percent water to ethanol, Harrison says. "We can start that dehydration step much earlier in the process and it's just a single step dehydration to whatever purity you want.
The Zebrex system allows for an increase of production capacity by about 20 percent compared with current PSA processes, energy savings of 10 to 20 percent and improved plant operating stability, Kiyono-Shimobe says, adding that a complete replacement of a plant's current PSA with Zebrex can achieve energy savings of up to 30 percent.

Notice of accident from worker
Annotations 15
(a) Notice of an accident resulting in an injury or death shall be given immediately by the worker or a beneficiary of the worker to the employer, but not later than 90 days after the accident. The employer shall acknowledge forthwith receipt of such notice.
Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this subsection, if an injured worker has not submitted a claim under this chapter but has submitted a claim to a health benefit plan that provides benefits to the worker, and the health benefit plan rejects the claim as being work related, the injured worker may file a claim under this section within 90 days from the date the health benefit plan rejects the claim. If a claim filed under this section is denied, the workers' compensation insurer or self-insured employer shall inform the health benefit plan of the denial and the health benefit plan shall process the claim for payment in accordance with the terms, conditions and benefits of the plan.
The notice need not be in any particular form. However, it shall be in writing and shall apprise the employer when and where and how an injury has occurred to a worker. A report or statement secured from a worker, or from the doctor of the worker and signed by the worker, concerning an accident which may involve a compensable injury shall be considered notice from the worker and the employer shall forthwith furnish the worker a copy of any such report or statement.
Notice shall be given to the employer by mail, addressed to the employer at the last-known place of business of the employer, or by personal delivery to the employer or to a foreman or other supervisor of the employer. If for any reason it is not possible to so notify the employer, notice may be given to the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services and referred to the insurer or self-insured employer.
Failure to give notice as required by this section bars a claim under this chapter unless the notice is given within one year after the date of the accident and:
The employer had knowledge of the injury or death;
The worker died within 180 days after the date of the accident; or
The worker or beneficiaries of the worker establish that the worker had good cause for failure to give notice within 90 days after the accident.
The issue of failure to give notice must be raised at the first hearing on a claim for compensation in respect to the injury or death.
The director shall promulgate and prescribe uniform forms to be used by workers in reporting their injuries to their employers. These forms shall be supplied by all employers to injured workers upon request of the injured worker or some other person on behalf of the worker. The failure of the worker to use a specified form shall not, in itself, defeat the claim of the worker if the worker has complied with the requirement that the claim be presented in writing. [1965 c.285 §30a; 1971 c.386 §2; 1981 c.854 §18; 1995 c.332 §29; 2003 c.707 §1; 2015 c.259 §1]
To establish employer knowledge, claimant needs to establish only employer knowledge of injury, not knowledge claim would result. Baldwin v. Thatcher Construction Co., 49 Or App 421, 619 P2d 682 (1980); Hayes-Godt v. Scott Wetzel Services, 71 Or App 175, 691 P2d 919 (1984), Sup Ct review denied
Knowledge of injury must be sufficient to alert employer of possibility of workers' compensation claim. Argonaut Ins. Co. v. Mock, 95 Or App 1, 768 P2d 401 (1989), Sup Ct review denied
Where claimant was employee, stockholder and manager of corporate employer, claimant satisfied injury notice requirement by notifying employer, and claim was not barred notwithstanding failure of employer to notify insurer of claim. Barney's Karts, Inc. v. Vance, 110 Or App 62, 821 P2d 422 (1991)
Requirement that worker give employer written notice of "when and where and how" injury occurred is satisfied if written information, viewed as whole, provides enough detail about when, where and how injury occurred to put employer on notice that worker may have sustained compensable injury. Vsetecka v. Safeway Stores, Inc., 337 Or 502, 98 P3d 1116 (2004)
Notice consisting of report or statement secured from worker need not be in written form. Godfrey v. Fred Meyer Stores, 202 Or App 673, 124 P3d 621 (2005), Sup Ct review denied
There is no requirement under this section that claimant must present medical evidence to establish "good cause" for failure to give timely notice; it is for Workers' Compensation Board to decide whether board is persuaded by evidence that is in record, regardless of if record includes medical evidence. Lopez v. SAIF, 281 Or App 679, 388 P3d 728 (2016)
As used in this section, "compensable injury" means condition that results from accident. Brown v. SAIF, 361 Or 241, 391 P3d 773 (2017)
To support good cause for late notice of work injury, claimant's subjective belief as to employer's response to injury report must be objectively reasonable. Kuralt v. SAIF, 290 Or App 479, 415 P3d 1077 (2018)

In what is the latest sign of a depressed cryptocurrency market, some of the world's largest and most widely traded assets are now priced below where they were 12 months ago.
At press time, bitcoin's sell-off yesterday appears to have exposed the wider market to its worst losses since Oct. 11, a development that has caused the top 20 crypto assets by market capitalization to depreciate 3-10 percent and break down after a 12-day consolidation period.
With the move, dash (DASH), litecoin (LTC), bitcoin cash (BCH), ether (ETH) and neo (NEO) have effectively erased any gains earned in 2018, according to exchange and CoinMarketCap data.
Of the assets listed above, DASH is trading at $154 – a $130 difference to last years levels of $284 last seen Oct. 30, 2017, while BCH is trading at $472 on Oct. 30 last year now standing at $419 – a $53 difference.
Ether (ETH) is also down on last year's Oct. 30 levels of $305, currently changing hands at $197 – a $108 difference.
It's also the same case for LTC and NEO down $6.66 and $12.55 respectively, which have both struggled to mount a reversal in the bearish trend that has been ongoing since bitcoin's breakdown in early Jan.
Granted around this time last year price action spurred on by the ICO madness, sparked a massive bull-run that shot the price of bitcoin up to its all-time high of $20,000 in late Dec.
This had the dual effect of increasing the value of the entire alt-coin market as people poured into crypto increasing the total market capitalization to its peak of $817 billion on Jan. 8, 2018.
Things have changed since bitcoin first fell below a key indicator back in March of this year, which signified greater bearish conditions had taken hold as investors sought to exit altogether.
The 200-Daily Moving Average (DMA) demonstrated a complete loss of bullish control the second time around when bitcoin attempted its move above $10,000 on March 12, 2018.
Bitcoin's dominance rate has also steadily increased by 0.44 percent on the week, presenting a shift away from altcoins in lieu of the expected November run-up.
So it seems the bears have tightened their grip on the altcoin market possibly feeding into the new year instead of experiencing a bullish resurgence like some are expecting until they can once again break above their year-on-year targets.

Most people do more laundry than they'd like to. You can make sure you don't pay twice as much to do it. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the cost of drying a typical load of clothes in a gas dryer is 15 to 25 cents, compared to 30 to 40 cents for an electric dryer. The more laundry that's done in the household, the more significant the annual savings become. Gas clothes dryers can help you manage your time better, because gas clothes dryers deliver more heat to dry your clothes. This means that each load of clothes dries about 12 minutes faster with gas than with electricity, so when you are drying something you want to wear right away, you won't have to wait as long for it to be ready.
Clothes last longer when they are dried in gas dryers, because they dry so much faster, so they are not spending as much time getting beaten up in the rotating drum. Gas dryers don't "cook" clothes like electric dryers do, because gas dryers supply a moist heat, so clothes are left smelling fresher and are less stiff and wrinkled. Gas dryers generally outlast electric dryers by 10 years, because there are no heating elements to burn out, so the gas dryers are designed to run longer with less maintenance.
So, how much time and money do you want to spend on drying clothes?

Home/Frequently Asked Questions About MBA Degrees/How Valuable is an MBA Ranking?
Experts recommend that you look at MBA rankings before choosing a school, but many students don't understand how those rankings work. When looking at a new school, you might find that its general MBA program ranks as one of the top 100 programs in the country, while its entrepreneurship program ranks in the top 10. Learning more about what those rankings mean and which organizations rank those programs can help you decide how much those rankings really mean in the greater scheme of things.
The ranking of an MBA program refers to how good that school is in relation to all the other programs in the country. The way that organizations rank schools varies based on the criteria used by that organization. Some groups rank schools higher because those institutions have a higher graduation rate and a higher job placement rate among among graduates, while other organizations base rankings on the acceptance rate of the program and its professors. Some rankings also list schools based on how well those schools work for students of different types or backgrounds.
According to the National Association for College Admission Counseling, there are four major groups that issue MBA rankings. U.S. News & World Report is one of the largest and most important of those groups. It takes into account the way that former students feel about the program, what high school guidance counselors think and how selective the school is with its admissions. Forbes focuses more on the financial side of things and ranks schools based on the average income reported by graduates, the debt that former students have and the satisfaction of students. Newsweek issues rankings based on how different types of students will fit into those MBA programs, while The Princeton Review uses more than 60 different types of rankings, including how those schools rank academically.
Is a Ranking Really Important?
Students often look at the ranking of a school when choosing an MBA program, but ranking is just one factor. Those in charge of college rankings use a number of different facts to determine where the school ranks on its list, and those facts might not matter to you. Before judging a school based solely on its ranking, think about what matters to you.
When looking at MBA rankings, make a list of the factors that mean something to you. Do you want a school that will let you spend a summer studying in France or working for an international company? Do you need a flexible program that will let you take a semester off to spend with your family? Maybe you want a program designed for executives that offers classes at night and on weekends. You might even find yourself looking for a program with a concentration in accounting, finance or entrepreneurship. Those factors are just as important as the ranking of the school, and if you base your decision just on its ranking, you might miss out on the right program for you.
Several groups and organizations rank MBA programs on a series of different factors, but you shouldn't look just as that ranking. The professors working in that program, the organizations and activities offered on campus and the flexibility of the program is just as important as the MBA rankings of that program.

About the United Arab Emirates, information, history size, location, population, people, culture, and government.
Size--32,300 sq. mi. (83,650 sq. km.). Population--275,000.
Along the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman are 7 tiny sheikhdoms, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ras al-Khaimah, Fujairah, Umm al-Qaiwain, and Ajman, which joined together in 1971-1972 to form the United Arab Emirates. Oil is the source of the comparatively great wealth of the UAE, although smuggling is quite important in Dubai. Over $250 million in goods enters Dubai, but there is no record of how much is reexported or where it goes. The large population of foreign nationals (over 50% of the total UAE population) has few rights and constitutes a badly exploited and discontent work force. It consists, for the most part, of men without families.

Executive Director stepping down in November
Christina Parrish Stone, SPAR Executive Director, announced Thursday that she will be stepping down from her position this November.
Parrish Stone has worked tirelessly, acting as a diligent advocate for the Springfield Historic District and advancing the mission of the organization. The community and the SPAR Council are exceedingly grateful for her contributions, and look forward to building on the many successes of her tenure moving forward.
SPAR Council will be seeking a new Executive Director, with information about that opportunity shared soon.


On April 3, nearly seventy years to the day after the establishment of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the Munich Security Conference, the Atlantic Council, and the German Marshall Fund will host "NATO Engages: The Alliance at 70" in Washington, DC. The summit will gather a wide array of leaders and experts for discussions on the current state of the Alliance: its key accomplishments and its future as it grapples with next-generation threats and geopolitical uncertainty.
As this spring marks the 70th anniversary of the Washington Treaty, the founding document of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the NATO Ministerial will convene Alliance foreign ministers in Washington, DC. Alongside the Ministerial, the Munich Security Conference, together with the Atlantic Council and the German Marshall Fund, and in partnership with NATO's Public Diplomacy Division, is organizing the official outreach event "NATO Engages: The Alliance at 70". Taking place on Wednesday, April 3, the event builds on the success of "NATO Engages: The Brussels Summit Dialogue", which accompanied last year's NATO Summit in Brussels. The town hall-style scene-setting event aims to strengthen a public conversation about the achievements and importance of NATO and, at a crucial juncture for the transatlantic community, NATO's future in the face of next-generation threats and geopolitical uncertainty.
The participants of "NATO Engages: The Alliance at 70" include a diverse array of representatives from governments, militaries, academia and civil society with a particular focus on including the next generation of young experts and decision-makers in foreign and security policy. Among others, the "NATO Engages" audience will hear from Michael R. Pence (Vice President of the United States), Jens Stoltenberg (Secretary General of NATO), Jacek Czaputowicz (Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland), Ine Eriksen Søreide (Minister of Foreign Affairs of Norway), Edgars Rinkēvičs (Minister of Foreign Affairs of Latvia) and Chris Murphy (US Senator and member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee).
The discussions will examine the most pressing challenges facing the Alliance today as well as look ahead to emerging threats. Key themes for the discussions will include geopolitical competition, NATO-EU cooperation, and the future of NATO enlargement, as well as broader transatlantic and global security issues like nuclear security and deterrence, emerging technologies, counter-terrorism and challenges for human security.
More details and background information is available on the NATO Engages website, which will also feature a live stream of the full event. Further updates will be made available on Twitter (#NATOEngages), Facebook, and on our own Munich Security Conference website.
Over the course of the past five decades, the Munich Security Conference (MSC) has developed into the world's leading forum for the debate of international security policy. Each February, it brings together more than 450 senior decision-makers and thought-leaders from around the world to engage in an intensive debate on current and future challenges. Repeatedly rated as "Best Think Tank Conference" in the world, the MSC provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity to discuss policy at the highest level in a protected and informal space. In addition to its annual flagship conference, the MSC regularly convenes high-profile events on particular topics and regions. This includes Core Group Meetings, which have a regional focus, as well as thematic tracks, such as the Cyber Security and Technology Series, the Human Security Series, the Economic and Resource Security Series, and the Defence and Security Policy Series, with Summits and Roundtables in different cities around the world.
Besides its annual flagship conference in Munich, the Munich Security Conference (MSC) Foundation regularly organizes high-profile events around the world. These events include summits and roundtables dedicated to a particular thematic focus like European Defence, Economic and Resource Security, Cyber Security and Technology, or Human Security.
The future of European defence has traditionally been one of the major topics of the Munich Security Conference. In 2013, the MSC, together with its knowledge partner McKinsey & Company, launched the European Defence Series. Since then, numerous events have addressed European defence challenges and have contributed to debating the goal of a deeper, much more impactful European cooperation in security and defence.

The project has twice received funding from the NEH Division of Preservation and Access, and hopes to explore the influence of the long-lasting Qajar Dynasty by studying the women who lived in Iran from 1796 to 1925. Afsaneh Najmabadi, the project leader and a Professor of History and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Harvard University, believes her work will be helpful for understanding Iran's current cultural and political issues.
Najmabadi heads a team of students and scholars who are sifting through over 20,000 primary sources, including poems, essays, travelogues, private letters, photographs, works of calligraphy, marriage contracts, and legal documents. The collection includes notables such as poetry penned by Zib al-Nisa'Baygum, daughter of the sixth Mughal, precious jewelry worn by women of wealth, and a copy of the Qur'an written by a female calligraphy artist.

"Women's Worlds in Qajar Iran" was recognized by the White House Office of Public Engagement in 2012 as an example of scholars using NEH funding to research the history of Muslim women's rights. The archive complements the NEH's Bridging Cultures initiative, which seeks to promote understanding and mutual respect for people with diverse histories, cultures, and perspectives within the United States and abroad.

November 7, 2017 was the 100th Anniversary ("new," Gregorian, Calendar) of the Russian Revolution. According to the "old," Julian calendar still in use in the Russia of the time, the Revolution occurred on October 25, 2017, which is why, in many quarters it is still referred to as the -- da, da! -- "October Revolution." (It is interesting to note that the "Julian" calendar was named after Julius Caesar, whose government introduced it in what would come to be known as 45 B.C [or B.C.E.. depending upon your religious/calendrical point-of-view]. The "modern," Gregorian calendar was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582.) The current calendar date was celebrated, noted upon, denigrated, around the world. It was also ignored in certain quarters, although most of those persons-to-institutions that did, like the government of Vladimir Putin, which did for the most part ignore it, made it clear that they were ignoring it .
Outside of Russia, it has been widely noted that the Soviet Union, which was established as a result of the October Revolution, lasted only 75 years. Many observers, capitalist or socialist or other, have taken some satisfaction in this occurrence. Many Marxist-Leninists, including myself, took and have taken the demise of the Soviet Union with sadness. However, some of us, at least, recognize that among Lenin's many great contributions to the understanding of human history and how it works is the concept of "two steps forward/one step back."
Indeed, what can be considered as the first capitalist revolution against the then predominant feudal order (or a variant of it) can be said to have been the Cromwellian Revolution in England, 1640-61. To be sure, it did not represent industrial capitalists, for the industrial revolution would not get underway until the mid-18th century. But it did represent the rising mercantile capitalists --- and it failed. Now one could have said at the time, "see, capitalism will never work; feudalism and royal primacy in government will always be the systems of state control." And one would have been wrong. In judging what happened in the Soviet Union, one should certainly take the Cromwellian lesson intro account.
Now Lenin for the most part applied his "two steps forward/one step back" formula to what was happening in the early development of the Soviet Union that occurred during his lifetime that was cut short so tragically. But in my view (and perhaps Lenin's too) the concept can be applied, not simplistically of course, but applied never-the-less to the overall development of socialist revolution (as happened in the development of capitalism). And let us hope that that is the case. For if socialist revolution does not begin to develop around the world, fairly soon, our species and many others will be gathered up in what I have termed "The Suicide of Capitalism."
There is another model for what some see as a road to socialism and that is the Chinese hybrid socialist-capitalist system. But the Soviet approach, at least until it became corrupted (in the literal sense of the word), was at least intended to build a purely socialist state, at the time. Which failed, as is well-known. But it did not fail on its own. For, for the entire 75 years of its existence it was confronted by what will someday come to be known as "The 75 Years War Against the Soviet Union."
In this series of two columns I will VERY briefly review/list the major events in that major war that was waged by Western Capitalist/Imperialism against the Soviet Union. It was mainly non-military (with the exception of the Great Patriotic War, 1941-45). But nevertheless, it was a war which had the very definite aim of overthrowing the Soviet system. I list below its major elements. In Part 2 of this column, I will discuss each one in a bit of detail. Of course, a full treatment would require much more space than we have on OpEdNews. Indeed, a book could well be written on the subject. But this can be considered to be a start on a subject which has been widely ignored. In my view, however, it has to be taken into account in any accounting of what happened in and to that great socio-historical experiment known as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
1. "The Intervention," on the side of the "White Russian" resistance to the Red Revolution, began almost immediately after its initial success in overthrowing the Provisional Government.
2. After the end of the Russian Civil War in 1921, the Western Powers were slow to recognize the Soviet government. The United States was the last to do so, in 1933.
3. During the rise of Nazi German militarism, the two major Western powers, France and Great Britain refused to negotiate any joint defense pacts with the Soviet Union.
4. The "non-intervention" policy of the Western Democracies" (including the United States) in the Spanish Civil War made the continuing anti-Soviet policy clear.
5. Then came Munich; https://truth-out.org/buzzflash/commentary/dr-js-bf-commentary- no-160-peace-in-our-time-obamas-munich/10178-dr-js-bf-commentary-no-160- peace-in-our-time-obamas-munich.
6. 1941-45, Anglo-American cooperation with the SU.
7. But the delayed opening of the Second Front in France was interpreted by some as confirming this approach.
