Recent Arrivals: Eloquent Voice, Blackstone Audio, Macmillan Audio, Penguin Audio
Monday, November 1, 2010 Scott D.	1 Comment
Hey folks! Here's a new batch of audiobooks, fresh from the publishers. It's amazing really, wonderous! These missives were written, transcribed, recorded, digitized, burned, stamped, mailed, opened, scanned, emailed and then posted. All for one "recent arrivals" post!
Here's the first in Andre Norton's redoubtable "Forerunner" series…
The Time Traders
By Andre Norton; Read by William Coon
OverDrive Download – Approx. 6 Hours 50 Minutes [UNABRIDGED]
Publisher: Eloquent Voice
'To anyone who glanced casually inside the detention room the young man sitting there did not seem very formidable…unless one was observant enough to note those light-gray eyes and catch a chilling, measuring expression showing now and then for an instant in their depths.' The young man in question, Ross Murdock, is about to embark upon the adventure of his life. In order to avoid prosecution, he reluctantly joins Operation Retrograde, whose members are exploring various time periods. Their goal? To find out where – and when – the 'Reds' are obtaining certain scientific breakthroughs, in order to maintain the balance of global power. An outsider in his own time, Ross becomes an outsider in other times as well, and faces one challenge after another. Will he succeed? Or will he inadvertently alter time forever?
The Disney movie, John Carter of Mars, is supposed to be based on the first three novels in this series. We best better buckle-in for audiobooks now, lest we be overwhelmed by the giant four-armed green ads for the video version!
A Princess of Mars (Book One Of The Martian Series)
By Edgar Rice Burroughs; Read by William Dufris
6 CDs – Approx. 7.5 Hours [UNABRIDGED]
Publisher: Blackstone Audio
Ex–Confederate Army captain John Carter finds himself suddenly and unwittingly transported to Mars while fleeing Apache Indians. This new world is populated by a race of monstrous Martians whose culture is based on the ability to fight for their race. Captured by the savage green men of Thark, John discovers that the gravitational difference between Mars and Earth has endowed him with the strength that he will need for survival on this hostile planet. He battles ferocious Martian creatures and gains the respect and friendship of the Barsoomians. Along the way he encounters the beautiful Dejah Thoris, Princess of Helium, and earns her everlasting devotion.
I reviewed the first book in the Larry Niven/Edward M. Lerner series, Fleet Of Worlds |READ OUR REVIEW|, back in 2008…
Betrayer Of Worlds (Fleet of Worlds Series, Book 4)
By Larry Niven and Edward M. Lerner; Read by Tom Weiner
Since fleeing the supernova chain reaction at the galactic core, the cowardly Puppeteers of the Fleet of Worlds have—just barely—survived one crisis after another: the rebellion of their human slaves, the relentless questing of the species of Known Space, the spectacular rise of the starfish-like Gw'oth, the onslaught of the genocidal Pak. Now fresh disaster looms, as though past crises have returned and converged. Who can possibly save the Fleet this time?
While Blackstone Audio has been busily re-recording many of the Miles Vorkosigan books, many had been previously recorded by the now defunct The Reader's Chair), this one is wholly and entirely new, and has never before been audiobooked…
Cryoburn (A Miles Vorkosigan Adventure)
By Lois McMaster Bujold; Read by Grover Gardner
9 CDs – Approx. 10.5 Hours [UNABRIDGED]
Kibou-daini is a planet obsessed with cheating death. Barrayaran Imperial Auditor Miles Vorkosigan can hardly disapprove—he's been cheating death his whole life, on the theory that turnabout is fair play. But when a Kibou-daini cryocorp—an immortal company whose job it is to shepherd its all-too-mortal frozen patrons into an unknown future—attempts to expand its franchise into the Barrayaran Empire, Emperor Gregor dispatches his top troubleshooter, Miles, to check it out. On Kibou-daini, Miles discovers generational conflict over money and resources is heating up, even as refugees displaced in time skew the meaning of "generation" past repair. Here he finds a young boy with a passion for pets and a dangerous secret, a Snow White trapped in an icy coffin who burns to rewrite her own tale, and a mysterious crone who is the very embodiment of the warning "Don't mess with the secretary." Bribery, corruption, conspiracy, kidnapping—something is rotten on Kibou-daini, and it isn't due to power outages in the Cryocombs. And Miles is in the middle—of trouble!
Here's the follow up to First Drop Of Crimson, if the title pattern continues I'd expect that a future book in the series might be Temporary Tatoo Of Blue – or something to that effect…
Eternal Kiss of Darkness (The Night Huntress World Series, Book 2)
By Jeaniene Frost; Read by Tavia Gilbert
An immortal war has been brewing in the darkness … and now one woman has stumbled into the shadows. Chicago private investigator Kira Graceling should have just kept on walking. But her sense of duty refused to let her ignore the moans of pain coming from inside a warehouse just before dawn. Suddenly she finds herself in a world she's only imagined in her worst nightmares. At the center is Mencheres, a breathtaking Master vampire who thought he'd seen it all. Then Kira appears—this fearless, beautiful human who braved death to rescue him. Though he burns for her, keeping Kira in his world means risking her life. Yet sending her away is unthinkable. With danger closing in, Mencheres must choose either the woman he craves or embracing the darkest magic to defeat an enemy bent on his eternal destruction.
It seems like there's a new book in this series every full moon now…
Overwinter (The Werewolf Tales Book 3)
By David Wellington; Read by Tai Sammons
In this stand-alone continuation of the tale begun in Frostbite, horror star David Wellington delivers another gripping werewolf tale in which heroine Chey is once again forced to fight for her own humanity. Overwinter opens as protagonist Chey, bitten by a werewolf and cursed to live out eternity as a monster, prowls the Arctic Circle on the trail of an ancient secret, the one thing that could remove the lycanthropic curse and make her human again. As she hunts for an answer, she realizes that with every passing day the wolf inside her is becoming stronger and her humanity is slipping away. Meanwhile, another werewolf arrives, an evil centuries-old woman, bent on sabotaging Chey's quest and stealing away the one thing that's still important to her.
I wonder how this would compare with David Moody's Hater |READ OUR REVIEW|? I love the cover…
Patient Zero: A Joe Ledger Novel, Book 1
By Jonathan Maberry; Read by Ray Porter
12 CDs – Approx. 14.2 Hours [UNABRIDGED]
From multiple Bram Stoker Award-winning author Jonathan Maberry comes a major new thriller that combines the best of the New York Times bestselling books World War Z by Max Brooks and James Rollins's Sigma Force Series to kick off the start of a new series featuring Joe Ledger and the Department of Military Sciences. When you have to kill the same terrorist twice in one week there's either something wrong with your world or something wrong with your skills—and there's nothing wrong with Joe Ledger's skills. And that's both a good and a bad thing. It's good because he's a Baltimore detective who has just been secretly recruited by the government to lead a new task force created to deal with the problems that Homeland Security can't handle. This rapid-response group is called the Department of Military Sciences, or the DMS for short. It's bad because his first mission is to help stop a group of terrorists from releasing a dreadful bio-weapon that can turn ordinary people into zombies. The fate of the world hangs in the balance.
Here's an interesting one, James Howard Kunstler is a non-fiction author who is turning to fiction and using the thesis of his non-fiction to create the world! Blackstone Audio, oddly, is classifying it as a "General Fiction" book. Really? Are things really that bad in the USA?
World Made By Hand
By James Howard Kunstler; Read by Jim Meskimen
In The Long Emergency, celebrated social commentator James Howard Kunstler explored how the terminal decline of oil production combined with climate change had the potential to put industrial civilization out of business. In World Made by Hand, an astonishing work of speculative fiction, Kunstler brings to life what America might be, a few decades hence, after these catastrophes converge. The electricity has flickered out. The automobile age is over. In Union Grove, a little town in upstate New York, the future is nothing like people thought it would be. Life is hard and close to the bone. Transportation is slow and dangerous, so food is grown locally at great expense of time and energy, and the outside world is largely unknown. There may be a president, and he may be in Minneapolis now, but people aren't sure. The townspeople's challenges play out in a dazzling, fully realized world of abandoned highways and empty houses, horses working the fields and rivers, no longer polluted, and replenished with fish. This is the story of Robert Earle and his fellow townspeople and what happens to them one summer in a country that has changed profoundly. A powerful tale of love, loss, violence, and desperation, World Made by Hand is also lyrical and tender, a surprising story of a new America struggling to be born—a story more relevant now than ever.
And here's the sequel…
The Witch Of Hebron: A World Made By Hand Novel
In the sequel to his bestselling World Made by Hand, James Howard Kunstler expands on his vision of a post-oil society with a new novel about an America in which the electricity has flickered off, the Internet is a distant memory, and the government is little more than a rumor. In the tiny hamlet of Union Grove, New York, travel is horse-drawn and farming is back at the center of life. But it's no pastoral haven. Wars are fought over dwindling resources and illness is a constant presence. Bandits roam the countryside, preying on the weak, and a sinister cult threatens to shatter Union Grove's fragile stability. Here is a novel that seamlessly weaves hot-button issues like the decline of oil and the perils of climate change into a compelling narrative of violence, religious hysteria, innocence lost, and love found—a cautionary tale with an optimistic heart. Already a renowned social commentator and a bestselling novelist and nonfiction writer, Kunstler has recently attained even greater prominence in the global conversation about energy and the environment. In the last two years he has been the focus of a long profile in the New Yorker, the subject of a full-page essay in the New York Times Book Review, and his wildly popular blog and podcast have made him a sought-after speaker who gives dozens of lectures and scores of media interviews each year.
Here's the first book in a new series from author David Weber. In the audio sample I heard, over on the Macmillan Audio site, there was an alien complaining about another alien being a pain in his "excretory orifice." See, aliens aren't so different. It kind of reminded me of the Vogons. Also, regarding that sample, narrator Charles Keating sounds terrific!
By David Weber; Read by Charles Keating
15 CDs – Approx. 18 Hours [UNABRIDGED]
Publisher: Macmillan Audio
Earth is conquered. The Shongairi have arrived in force, and humanity's cities lie in radioactive ruins. In mere minutes, over half the human race has died. Now Master Sergeant Stephen Buchevsky, who thought he was being rotated home from his latest tour in Afghanistan, finds himself instead prowling the back country of the Balkans, dodging alien patrols and trying to organize the scattered survivors without getting killed. His chances look bleak. The aliens have definitely underestimated human tenacity—but no amount of heroism can endlessly hold off overwhelming force. Then, emerging from the mountains and forests of Eastern Europe, new allies present themselves to the ragtag human resistance. Predators, creatures of the night, human in form but inhumanly strong. Long Enemies of humanity…until now. Because now is the time to defend Earth.
From the description, I like the "Sci-Phile" aspect of this audiobook, and the whole Nancy Drew-style plotting sounds pretty interesting too! There's a website for the book, and the audiobook should be in stores tomorrow.
Virals: Adventures Unleashed
By Kathy Reichs; Read by Cristin Milioti
Publisher: Penguin Audio
Adventure has always been in fourteen-year-old Tory Brennan's blood. After all, she is the niece of world-famous forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. So when she moves to middle of nowhere Morris Island, South Carolina, to live with a marine biologist dad she's never known, Tory does the best she can to adjust to her new life. There she meets a group of local kids who are just as "Sci-Phile" as she is—science geeks who've grown up exploring the backwoods marsh-lands of nearby Loggerhead Island. But there's something strange going on at the Loggerhead Research Institute… maybe even something deadly. After rescuing a stray wolfdog pup from a top-secret lab, Tory and her friends are exposed to a rare strain of canine parvovirus, changing them—and their DNA—forever. Now, with newly heightened senses and canine-quick reflexes, they'll have to solve a cold-case murder that's suddenly become very hot … that is, if they can stay alive long enough to catch the killer's scent. Fortunately, they are now more than friends. They are a pack. They are VIRALS.

Gulliver Heavy Lift Vessel
Gulliver is a new self-propelled, DP II heavy-lift vessel constructed by Royal IHC for DEME's subsidiary, Scaldis Salvage and Marine Contractors.
Vessel Type
Heavy-lift vessel
Scaldis Salvage
Royal IHC
Keel Laid
The vessel was built at the Hong Qiang shipyard near Shanghai. It was previously referred to as Rambiz 4000, but was renamed Gulliver in April 2016.
The ship can assist with decommissioning activities, as well as the installation of offshore infrastructure and wind farms in deep water for the oil and gas industry.
An agreement was signed in January 2015 to finalise the construction and delivery of the vessel, and the keel-laying ceremony took place in February 2016.
Lifting equipment was installed at Huisman's facility in Xiamen and the vessel was delivered in April 2018.
Gulliver design details
The heavy-lift vessel has been designed by Vuyk Engineering Rotterdam, a subsidiary of Royal IHC.
Optimised for offshore heavy-lift missions, the vessel is 108m-long with a moulded breadth and depth of 49m and 8m respectively. It has an operating draft of 4.9m and gross tonnage of 22,400t.
The vessel offers accommodation for 78 persons, very small aperture terminal (VSAT) internet, voice over IP (VoIP) facilities, and a helideck.
The ship is classified under Lloyd's Register of shipping notation 100A1, Crane Ship, LA, IWS, LMC, UMS, DP(AA) and CAC 3.
Equipment on-board Gulliver
Gulliver is equipped with two Huisman cranes on its port and starboard. With a lifting capacity of 2,000t each, the cranes provide the ship with a hoisting capacity of 4,000t.
The wave height of the cranes is 1.5m, and their maximum lift height is 78.5m above the deck. The distance between crane booms is 34.3m.
The two cranes are movable up to a distance of 25m, allowing the deck to be used for cargo transportation.
Eight mooring winches are installed at the bow and stern of the vessel. The winches are capable of handling 44mm and 58mm anchor chains.
The vessel features an additional carrying capacity of 3,000t, as well as a moon pool for a remotely-operated vehicle (ROV), which is used in the inspection of installation works on the seabed.
Tank capacities
The ship is classified as Ship Right (ACS (B)) as its ballast tank is coated with anti-corrosion materials. Its fuel tank capacity is 1,342m³, while its water ballast capacity is 11,316m³.
The vessel stores 935m³ of freshwater and includes a watermarker capable of holding 20m³ of water a day.
The heavy-lift vessel is propelled by four azimuth thrusters. The aft and forward thrusters offer a propulsion power of 1,720kW and 1,505kW respectively.
The thrusters and DP II system minimise the need for anchoring while conducting installations in deep water. The propulsion system provides a transit speed of 7k.

Play like the pros with OMEN
Used by the likes of Astralis and BIG Clan, OMEN gaming gear can help you get the edge over your opponents
Promoted Content In association with About
Everyone thinks they're a pro when they boot up their favourite game and drop into ranked. But the truth is all our gameplay could use some work. In gaming, we rely on our keyboards, mice, and headsets just as much as we rely on our teammates, something that OMEN understands all too well.
You see, the gear OMEN has on offer will help you improve your game bit by bit. The equipment, which uses all the latest tech from optical-mechanical keyboards like the OMEN Sequencer and wireless mice like the OMEN Photon, will give you a step up on the battlefield, helping you climb the ranks as you go.
This is evident through OMEN's sponsorships of some of the biggest esports teams out there. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive teams such as Astralis and BIG Clan use OMEN equipment to get in the groove and train for the next big tournament, and while they're at the top of their game, it's possible to make a difference in yours too with OMEN.
So if you're in the market for a cheeky upgrade, or you're looking to better your setup now that you've been sucked into gaming by the ongoing pandemic, we've got you covered – you too can play like a pro.
If you're looking for an entirely new rig, OMEN has a few pre-builds on offer all aimed at different types of gamer. For those of you only looking to show off your top Shaco plays on League of Legends and nothing else, the OMEN 25L desktop, which comes packed with an Intel Core i5-10400F 2.9GHz processor, 16GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce 2060, means you'll be well equipped for the Summoners Rift.
For those of you looking for something a bit meatier to play more graphically demanding competitive titles like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the next big AAA titles, the OMEN 30L desktop with an Intel Core i9-10900K and NVIDIA GeForce 2080Ti will see you covered for the next couple of years.
Pair those with a couple of OMEN's top-range peripherals, and well, we wouldn't want to meet you on the battlefield that's for sure.
Some of the favourites among OMEN's star players are the OMEN X 25f monitor, the OMEN Sequencer keyboard, and the OMEN Photon mouse. The monitor, which also comes in a 27" design as well as the standard 25" sizing, has been developed with esports in mind. Boasting a 240Hz refresh rate and a 1ms response time, you'll be able to AWP down Dust2's mid like Nicolai 'device' Reedzt in no time.
The OMEN Sequencer and the OMEN Photon are a great mouse and keyboard pairing for anyone looking to up their game. The keyboard, for example, uses optical-mechanical switches that have a 0.2ms response time, and the mouse replaces long braided cables with Qi charging features. The keyboard even comes with five customisable keys, so you can drop pistols in your next eco-round before someone's even had a chance to type 'drop pls'. Handy, right?
But that's not all – it gets better. While wireless gaming mice are proving popular among players at the moment, the OMEN Photon also has another advantage – it's fully customisable, allowing you to mould your mouse to your hand. Claw grip? No problem. Just press a few buttons, remove a grip or two, and you've got a mouse tailored to your hand. We know, we know, it's impressive.
The best thing about this is that there are loads more products out there to play with. OMEN is here to help you play like the pros – you just have to find the right gear for you. So if you're looking to make some headway against your friends in ranked, you can do it with OMEN.

US Lawmakers Squabble Over Trade Bill Provisions
The U.S. Senate debating a trade bill Wednesday backed a plan that would limit retaliation against countries accused of violating labor and environmental standards.
Senators are debating a bill that would renew the president's authority to negotiate trade deals an authority that expired in 1994.
Under so-called 'fast track' authority, Congress votes for or against a trade deal negotiated by the White House, but cannot change the agreement. The Republican-led House passed the measure last year. But Democrats who control the Senate are seeking guarantees that future trade deals will include worker and environmental protections.
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, a Democrat from Montana, said the proposal he drafted with Republican Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa, does more to deal with labor and environmental issues than any previous trade bill.
His proposal was left intact after the Senate voted (54 to 44) to scuttle an amendment by Democratic Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut that would have allowed sanctions to enforce labor and environmental provisions in trade deals.
An opponent of the amendment, Republican Senator Phil Gramm of Texas, said the issue is critical to U.S. sovereignty. He argued international tribunals should not be allowed to decide claims filed by foreign nations or companies against U.S. labor or environmental laws. "This is not an environmental question, it is not a labor question, it is a sovereignty question," he said.
The amendment's defeat is a victory for the White House. The move comes a day after the administration lost a key vote when Senators passed an amendment giving themselves the power to vote on provisions in trade deals that they believe undermine existing U.S. laws.
The Bush administration says that amendment would hurt its ability to negotiate trade deals. It hopes to kill the provision when House and Senate negotiators work out differences in the two versions of the legislation.
White House spokesman Ari Fleisher said, "I think that the Congressional leaders have a very good understanding that that's a provision that needs to be removed at conference in order to get this agreed to. The president views that provision as a real show stopper, an anti-trade provision that can harm the cause of free trade, not help the cause of free trade. The president urges all members of Congress to resist the siren call of protectionism."
In other action Wednesday, Senators voted (65-33) for an amendment that calls on U.S. negotiators to decrease U.S. textile and apparel tariffs only if other countries reduce their own tariffs to the same level.
Democratic Senator John Edwards of the textile-producing state of North Carolina is a sponsor. "We need to make sure we do not leave behind millions of our fellow citizens who have been hurt by trade and trade policies," he said.
The amendment also encourages U.S. negotiators to consider whether foreign countries have lived up to earlier textile trade commitments before agreeing to a new deal.

Fighting sexual assault can't be optional for MIT students
Editor's Note: This column originally ran in the October 31, 2014 issue of The Tech.
On Monday, MIT released detailed results of a survey designed to investigate the scope and nature of sexual misconduct in our community. The survey is a rare quantitative examination of sexual assault at colleges — in several ways the first of its kind among MIT's peer institutions — and is a true example of bold leadership by the MIT administration and chancellor. And the data and resulting action plan were released with public honesty in a time when many colleges across the country seem to be primarily trying to avoid the issue.
The summary of the results forces us to confront difficult truths about our community. Thirty-five percent and 14 percent of female and male undergraduate respondents indicated that they had experienced a form of unwanted sexual behavior while at MIT, respectively. And 17 percent of female undergraduate respondents indicated that they had experienced behavior defined as rape or sexual assault under conditions of force, threat, or incapacitation.
But there is another difficult fact that the survey and the administration haven't seemed to acknowledge: the success of the administration's proposals will require a level of student involvement that we simply haven't seen before.
The administration leaves no doubt that it hopes these results will spur a campus-wide dialogue and that students will take the lead in many of the proposed projects. But without robust participation from the student body, these proposals will not be effective.
Community forums and requests for feedback won't be productive unless students submit thoughtful suggestions. Increased provision of educational services won't have a strong effect if students don't take them seriously. A new peer mentoring program won't get off the ground without competent student leadership.
Moreover, students can shape the content and delivery of these services in order to maximize their reach and legitimacy. Residence-based programs offer residential governments an opportunity to take the lead in working with the administration to shape these programs and substantially improve the lives of their dorm-mates.
The administration is right — there is only so much they can do, and any meaningful decline in the troubling rates of sexual assault will require hard work by students to combat the most perverse aspects of their own culture. But it remains to be seen whether the MIT student population is up to this task.
Many MIT students too often pride themselves on a myopic focus on their technical work, even going so far as to deride peer institutions where students study the "less legitimate" subjects of history, politics, and gender studies and where student activism is prevalent rather than rare.
Of course, MIT students have mobilized for change when incensed. But here at The Tech, where we are often well-positioned to observe campus dialogue, it seems that student outrage, surprise, or even general concern about the rate of sexual assault at our school doesn't even approach that expressed over such issues as mandatory dining plans, residential security changes, or mural policies. Indeed, it seems the predominant narrative around the survey's release is external praise for MIT's boldness in issuing the survey rather than student dismay at its results.
The cultures of many of our peer institutions are permeated by a basic literacy about and deep concern for these issues. That is not the case here. Sadly, MIT is the type of place where community and political discussions are seen as optional. It is also a place where the term "rape culture" is often used as a punchline for a strawman of feminism. But it's hard to find a better term to describe a place where 40 percent of respondents don't disagree with the statement that "rape and sexual assault happen because people put themselves in bad situations" and when 72 percent of those responding that they had experienced unwanted sexual behavior indicated that it came from another MIT student.
These are deficiencies in our culture, and it's hard to imagine that efforts led by a small group of passionate students and administrators will move the needle on an overwhelmingly apathetic campus. After all, the survey results provide ample evidence that many students don't take the problem as seriously as student leaders and administrators do, and some have downright regressive views. It is hard to expect releasing the results to change that fact. We do not want to be defeatist, but we do think we need a more frank discussion of the magnitude of action required.
We also call on the administration to more seriously consider what will be necessary to effect change given the current student climate. The aversion to heavy-handed, top-down policies is commendable and a valuable heuristic. But the administration should also not shy away from opportunities to strongly urge or even require students to take specific actions.
We understand that the administration will continue to expand and update its plans in the near future. But we would like to take this opportunity to encourage decision-makers to be as bold in their future proposals as they were in issuing the survey.
To quote President Reif, sexual assault "has no place here." The administration is aware of the fact that it has more to do. But if the entire effort is to have a chance at success, students cannot opt out of this conversation — and that's on us.

On the whole, I agree with the article and also find MIT's attitude far too timid, but I disagree it's on the students. MIT earned $1B on its endowment last year; put $300 million towards developing a serious program to prevent assault and to change the culture and then tell me, "It's on the students," when it doesn't work. Show me how you are addressing rape culture and beliefs at every level of the social/ecological model (and by the way include mental health and alcohol in your analysis). MIT students are many things, but as the article points out often very limited when it comes to an understanding of humanities including discrimination and rape culture. MIT: have a mandatory freshman seminar on alcohol and assault. Screen everyone's physical and mental health (including Vitamin D and other deficiencies). Adopt KnowYourIX's best practices. Increase the staff support for violence prevention and response by 15. Then tell me it's on the students ...
"40 percent of respondents dont disagree with the statement that 'rape and sexual assault happen because people put themselves in bad situations.'"
Do the authors think this means (a) that 60 percent of respondents think that voluntary situations are the only factor in rape and sexual assault, (b) that 40 percent of respondents think that these situations make no impact on rape and sexual assault, or (c) that survey questions like this are virtually meaningless?
If they wonder why MIT students are not more charged about the results of this survey, perhaps it's because they're sensible enough to know that the answer is (c).
"Fighting sexual assault cant be optional for MIT students"
If we fight for change and adopt the "It's On Us" slogan, rape will be gone? Does that work for poverty and murder, too?
Socialist Worker almost 6 years ago
Despite the victories for women's rights during the 1960's and 1970's women are still not socially equal to men. They are paid 75 percent of what men make for the same job and they are still a number of higher paying jobs as professional, skilled workers, or in jobs considered physically demanding or dangerous that they are underrepresented in.
This is why a certain number of men think they are superior to women. The employers also see women as a group of workers that can be used when demand for labor is high and then easily pushed out of the workforce when demand for labor is low. That is another reason why they are against working class women controlling their bodies.
Women are still the major child care providers. In workplaces with out child care women must make arrangements for child care which may negate the value of working or create difficulties when overtime is required. Should they wish to have children that may present pre and post pregnancy conflicts with their job requirements.
The real solution to this is 24/7 availability of free child care, affirmative action for women in jobs they are underrepresented in, transparency in wages and full pay for pre and post pregnancy needs.
The best solution is what was done 55 years ago in Cuba. A socialist revolution that will end the need to push a group of workers in and out of work in order to meet the requirements of profit making corporations.
To those unfamiliar with the Cuban Revolution the first central leader of the Cuban Federation of Women was Vilma Espin an MIT course 10 grad student and guerilla fighter.
Women became equal in Cuba when the revolution took power in 1959. The revolutionaries also began immediately training of those women who were prostitutes and domestic servants for new jobs.
A socialist revolution brings with it the ability to end the alienation and violence endemic in capitalist society including rape.


World Cup-winner Hugo Lloris has conceded being more than double the drink-drive limit when he was ceased by police in central London.
The Tottenham and France goalkeeper was charged after a normal watch stop in Gloucester Place, Marylebone, in the early long stretches of 24 August.
He was fined £50,000 and prohibited from driving for 20 months.
The court heard police in a plain auto detected Lloris' Porsche Panamera driving at 15mph (24kph) in a 30mph (48kph) zone.
He veered his auto "towards stopped vehicles" previously rectifying himself and experienced a red light, prosecutor Henry Fitch said.
At the point when officers halted the vehicle, they discovered regurgitation and said Lloris must be helped from the auto.

The purpose of this module is to explore the relationship between science and society in both an historical and contemporary context. Since the days of Christopher Columbus, right down to the Apollo Space programme and more recently the large Hadron collider at CERN, it has become clear that ambitious scientific endeavour requires public confidence, communication and funding in order to get from the original idea to something which has an impact in society. These considerations are just as valid in biology and medicine as they are in the physical sciences.
This course will draw on the unique range of museums, learned societies and organisations based in London to enable students to experience and appreciate the relationship between science and society and the need for scientists to engage and communicate with the wider world.
Classes (usually three or four hours per day) take place on the Bloomsbury campus from Monday to Friday any time between 9am and 6pm. Teaching also takes places at relevant locations nearby in London such as the Science Museum and the Natural History Museum.
Dr Mark Waugh is the year 4 lead for the MSci in Applied Medical Sciences. He also leads three modules in the Applied Medical Sciences programme. Dr Waugh is principal investigator in the Division of Medicine at UCL.

From the Community Hall, go east (right) on 50 Avenue. This avenue was originally called Alberta Street. In the early days it seemed that Alberta Street would be the main street in Millet. Other businesses on Alberta Street were Mrs. Campbell's boarding house, Millet Packet, and Cooper Bros Harness and Hardware (1906). The location of these buildings is unknown as there was a fire on the southwest end of Alberta Street in 1910. These buildings, as well as Pillens Feed Store and Kovars's pool hall, were on this street west of the Mercantile Store. Alberta Street was never the main street of town as was predicted. The mercantile building, built in 1921, was once John West's Mercantile Store. The bungalow next door is the West's home that was built at the same time as the store. See the plaque for more information.
John and May West picked Lot 11, Block 2 on Alberta Avenue (50th Avenue) to build a general store with living quarters above it. This was the third general store to be built in Millet. Mr. West had a partner at first, W. M. Sicklesteel. After a short time Mr. West bought him out. On May 30th, 1921, a fire destroyed the store, home, garage, warehouse, and stables. John West rebuilt a brick store at the same location and a bungalow to the west for his home. Mr. West always insisted that a bang of candy be included in each box of groceries. In the beginning, people hauled willow posts to the store and traded them for groceries, and therefore the posts accumulated. As new communities sprung up across Southern Alberta, fence posts were needed. Mr. West was able to sell them to the Alberta and Revelstoke Lumber yards. Many carloads of posts were shipped. Mr. and Mrs. West worked together in the store and were in business until 1944, when the store was sold to E.J. Walker. Later, the building was used as a Veterinary Clinic, and as the home of Aramanth Art Needlework.


The University of Kansas School of Music and Reach Out Kansas, Inc. present the world premiere of Kevin Walczyk's Symphony No. 5 Freedom from Fear: Images from the Shoreline, a monumental work that crosses centuries and musical genres to speak to the courage of displaced people.
In a rare fusion of wind and jazz ensembles, the four-movement piece flows among varied musical styles, including classical, Delta Blues, jazz improvisation, Syrian folk music and the voices of a soprano and boy soprano.
The Wind Ensemble has been described by the New York Times as "one of America's most esteemed concert bands," and made its Carnegie Hall debut in 2013. Since then, it has performed for President Obama and in 2017 was one of nine college ensembles selected to perform at the College Band Directors National Association biennial conference.
Jazz Ensemble I, directed by Dan Gailey, was named DownBeat magazine's Best College Big Band in the Graduate Division in 2015 and received the Outstanding Performance Award in the same division in 2017. The group performed at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City in 2016 and was one of six college bands to perform at the 2017 Monterey Next Generation Jazz Festival.
A Pulitzer Prize- and Grawemeyer-nominated composer, Walczyk drew inspiration for Freedom from Fear from President Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1941 State of the Union address Four Freedoms, which identified freedom from fear as a fundamental human right.
The work's four movements unify around images of displaced peoples on the shoreline, spanning from the Old Testament to today. Freedom from Fear references the biblical story of Jochebed relinquishing her infant son Moses; the 1943 Life magazine photograph of three World War II soldiers lying dead on a South Pacific beach during the Battle of Buna-Gona; Civil Rights era wade-ins on the segregated beaches of Biloxi, Mississippi; the 2015 photograph, Humanity Washed Ashore, of 3-year-old Syrian refugee Aylan Kurdi, whose body was found on a Turkish beach after his boat capsized; immigrants arriving at the Statue of Liberty; and Emma Lazarus' sonnet, The New Colossus.
Walczyk aims for "Freedom from Fear" to similarly affect the audience.
The piece was commissioned by Reach Out Kansas, Inc., which through legacy projects such as "Freedom from Fear" aims to create transformative works that will impact the world for generations. Washington, D.C.—where national policy is created and home to embassies from around the world—was selected as the site for the world premiere with the hopes to inspire more reasonable discussion.
Prior to the world premiere of "Freedom from Fear," the afternoon performance will feature "Palos Nuevos: The Jazz/Flamenco Project" with the KU Jazz Ensemble I. Composed by Gailey and choreographed by Michelle Heffner Hayes, "Palos Nuevos" emulates the flamenco tradition of dialogue between dancer and musician and the practice of trading fours in jazz improvisations. The suite features Hayes, chair of the KU Department of Dance, performing the "baile" (dance); Steve Leisring, professor of trumpet, playing the 'cante' (voice); flamenco guitarist Beau Bledsoe as the "toque" (guitar); and Brandon Draper, KU music lecturer, performing on percussion. "Palos Nuevos," is another legacy project of Reach Out Kansas, Inc.
Tickets for the concert are $25 and are available at the Kennedy Center Box Office, by phone at (202) 467-4600 and at kennedy-center.org. More information on the "Freedom from Fear" project can be found at https://music.ku.edu/ku-kennedy-center.

"Design is one of the most powerful forces in our lives. Deployed wisely, it can bring us pleasure, choice, strength, decency and much more; but if its power is abused, the outcome can be wasteful, confusing and even dangerous. And design is unavodiable. It influences what we do and how we feel, often without our noticing. At a time when we face colossal changes – from the deepening environmental crisis, to giant leaps in science and technology – I suggests how design can help to turn them to our advantage."

A collection of quotes by Paul Tillich on religion, faith, God, Christianity, theology, solitude, courage, doubt, philosophy, writing and love.
Paul Tillich was an existentialist philosopher and is known as one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century. He was the theologian who correlated Christianity with the philosophy of human existence. He was interested in knowing Christianity since childhood and read the Bible whenever time permitted. Paul Tillich went on to work as a professor of theology in various renowned universities. During his three year term at the 'University of Frankfurt', he moved around Germany to give lectures on Christianity. This was observed as a threat by the German Chancellor Adolf Hitler and Tillich was dismissed from his position. He shifted to America and became a visiting professor of Philosophy at the 'Union Theological Seminary' and 'Columbia University'. He was further promoted to become the professor of philosophical theology and even gained American Citizenship. Paul Tillich even penned several books on Theology and came up with the famous 'Systematic Theology'. Three volumes of this literary work were released and it is believed to be Paul Tillich's most critically acclaimed offering. Tillich explained about God and the correlation between Christianity and human life. We bring to you a treasure trove of quotes that have been excerpted from his work, books, lectures and writings. Read on to explore a compilation of some of the best known quotations by Paul Tillich, covering various aspects of life. This collection of quotes by Paul Tillich will definitely erase some of your perceptions about faith.
...history has shown that the most terrible crimes against love have been committed in the name of fanatically defended doctrines.
There is no place to which we could flee from God, which is outside of God.
I hope for the day when everyone can speak of God without embarrassment.
Faith as the state of being ultimately concerned implies love, namely, the desire and urge toward the reunion of the seperated.
Language has created the word "loneliness" to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word "solitude" to express the glory of being alone.
The separation of faith and love is always a consequence of a deterioration of religion.
The awareness of the ambiguity of one's highest achievements - as well as one's deepest failures - is a definite symptom of maturity.
In the courageous standing of uncertainty, faith shows most visibly its dynamic character.
...only the philosophical question is perennial, not the answers.
We must be ourselves, we must decide where to go.
The neurotic is aware of the danger of a situation in which his unrealistic self-affirmation is broken down and no realistic self-affirmation takes its place.
Truth without the way to truth is dead.
The courage to die is the test of the courage to be.
Real joy is a "severe matter"; it is the happiness of a soul which is "lifted above every circumstance.
Man is the question he asks about himself, before any question has been formulated. It is, therefore, not surprising that the basic questions were formulated very early in the history of mankind.
He who participates in God participates in eternity.
Man creates what he is.
Only if God IS ultimate reality, can he be our unconditional concern; only then can he be the object of surrender, obedience, and assent. Faith in anything which has only preliminary reality is idolatrous.

Meetings, Meeting, and more Meetings
I spent all day today on conference calls or in meetings. Actually yesterday afternoon was much of the same. On the conference call we worked on a DVD project I have planned and I'm very excited about the way the call went. One thing I can guarantee, is that this poker DVD will be unlike any you've ever seen before. A totally unique format that I'm hoping you'll all be entertained by, while actually learning a thing or two along the way. The rest of the day was spent talking with the FCP Biz Team about this weekend. We wanted to put together a solid game plan for the weekend so that everyone gets the most out of it. I am looking really forward to this weekend and think it's just going to be an awesome time for all. Everything is set and ready to go. We got grub, we got drinks, and we are gonna have a house full of FCPers sharing war stories. Tomorrow everyone gets here in the afternoon and then the plan is to play a free roll tournament at Wynn. It'll be a pretty quick structure, but it should still last about 3-4 hours. Then of course on Saturday we have a full day of events planned revolving around the theme of the eight challenges I promised to play the FCP Logo Contest winner. Some of the challenges we'll do at my house, while others we'll do over at E-DOG's bachelor pad. That night, the finalists and I will have dinner at Wing Lei over at Wynn. I'm sure when the weekend is over you'll hear from all of the participants as they'll likely give you their take on how the weekend went. Checkout the General Forum at www.fullcontactpoker.com to read more about it. *************************************************************** Last night, I played a freeze out against Evelyn Ng, Carlos Mortenson, Erick Lindgren, Jennifer Harman, Daniel Negreanu, Josh Arieh, and David Williams. Once again, "E-DOG" owned Negreanu and busted him out first with AK versus AQ. The next to go was Jennifer Harman when her AK ran into David Williams AA. Josh Arieh should have been the next player eliminated, but he doubled up like seven hands in a row! It was the scariest thing, he was all in for the big blind and came all the way back to being an above average stack. David Williams went down followed by Evelyn Ng and so it was down to just me, E-DOG, Josh and Carlos Mortenson. With the blinds getting way up there I found myself in a three way pot all in with KQ vs. K8 and 87. I couldn't ask for a better spot, but E-DOG hit the 8 and sent me to the rail. What can I say, the kid's got my number. Not only did he bust me once in the tourney, but twice! For those of you that haven't figured it out yet and are wondering, huh? Did Daniel lose his mind or something? No, I'm just fine thank you. I finally got a copy of STACKED with Daniel Negreanu in the mail and was testing it out by playing a single table satellite against the pros. I really can't explain in words how cool that is. Especially for a guy like me that grew up playing fantasy sports and video games. I ended up playing STACKED for like four hours straight, watching the Poker School and then fiddling with all of the features in the career mode. *****************************************************************


The OPDP sent out its third violations letter of the year to pharma marketers last week, although 2017 remains an historic low enforcement year.
It turns out pharma's ad police aren't done doling out warnings in a year that's seen a historic few. The FDA's Office of Prescription Drug Promotion issued another warning last week, bringing its total for the year to three.
Amherst Pharmaceuticals and Magna Pharmaceuticals were on the receiving end of the OPDP's letter (PDF) for making "false or misleading" claims on a website and at a trade show about their Zolpimist insomnia treatment. The charge of wrongdoing included a reprimand for failing to submit the proper FDA labeling form as required before promoting the drug.
The letter charges that the drug webpage and the trade show exhibit panels did not communicate any risk information. On the misleading charge, the OPDP said claims of superior efficacy because of Zolpimist's formulation and oral mist delivery mode are not supported. "In fact, Zolpimist was approved as a 505(b)(2) application and, as correctly noted in the first claim on the webpage, demonstrated bioequivalence to Ambien, a zolpidem oral tablet, in healthy young volunteers," the letter reads. It also points out that the claim that Zolpimist "induces sleep" in 10 minutes is misleading because there are no data referenced—nor do any exist that the FDA is aware of—to support that.
Amherst bought Zolpimist, an oral spray approved for insomnia, in 2014 when NovaDel Pharma dissolved its business. Amherst has since partnered with Magna to market Zolpimist.
The OPDP letter asks that the two companies cease misbranding the drug and send a response and plan of action to the FDA by Nov. 29. The OPDP noted that it discovered the violations as part of its routine monitoring and surveillance program.
While this latest warning letter brings the total for 2017 to three reprimands, it remains an historic low year. The three for 2017 follow a general pattern of decline in the overall number of letters sent. In 2016, the OPDP sent 11 letters, up slightly from nine sent in 2015, 10 in 2014 and 24 in 2013.
The other two letters sent so far this year have been an untitled letter to Orexigen charging that its TV ad for weight-loss drug Contrave downplayed risks and a warning letter (PDF) to Cipher Pharmaceuticals over a professional detail aid for its opioid antagonist ConZip.

Good Growth Award
Woman's Hospital Named a Recipient of the Good Growth Award
The Baton Rouge Growth Coalition presented Woman's Hospital with a Good Growth Award at the 2016 Good Growth Awards Gala held on Thursday, October 13. The biennial awards program recognized 13 projects and developers that have "raised the bar of development" in the Greater Baton Rouge Area.
In 2012, Woman's Hospital moved to its current location, the corner of Stumberg Extension and Airline Highway, in order to better meet the needs of the community. Through careful development, Woman's created a facility designed on family-centered care while respecting the natural environment. The Woman's campus was designed by the architect firm HKS; engineered by ccrd Partners and Stantec; contractors Arkel Contractors, Milton J. Womack and JEDunn.
This award acknowledges the impact of the move of Woman's campus to southeast East Baton Rouge Parish, and it paves the way for continued growth on the campus through an expansion of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit opening in January 2017 and the development of a specialized breast and GYN cancer center opening in early 2018.
The Baton Rouge Growth Coalition is dedicated to good growth in East Baton Rouge Parish and the Greater Baton Rouge area by informing and equipping members of the community with best practices in development. Knowing that developers play a vital role in the health of an economy, the goal of the Good Growth Awards is to promote well calculated, risk-reducing practices while encouraging thoughtfulness and innovation.
Other projects honored with Good Growth awards included: 1010 Nic, 440 on Third, 450 Main Street, Cajun Industries office expansion, Creative Bloc, Dupree Apartments, IBM mixed-used complex, Model Block, River Road transformation project, The Advocate headquarters, Long Farm and the Taylor Porter rooftop garden.

Mani Bhaumik
UCLA Newsroom | March 5, 2018
A $2 million gift from physicist and former UCLA postdoctoral fellow Mani Bhaumik to the UCLA Division of Physical Sciences will give students new resources to advance their education.
Half of the gift will help establish the Mani L. Bhaumik Graduate Fellowship in Theoretical Physics. The fellowship also is supported by matching funds offered by UCLA's office of the chancellor and the dean of physical sciences to extend support for students. The other $1 million names a dedicated study and collaboration space in Young Hall. Available to students from all disciplines studying chemistry and biochemistry, the space will serve as a resource for the entire physical sciences division.
Bhaumik, a member of the Division of Physical Sciences board of visitors, played a key role in developing the laser technology that paved the way for Lasik eye surgery.
His latest gift follows his $11 million gift in 2016, which remains the largest contribution in the history of the division of physical sciences. Both are part of the $4.2 billion UCLA Centennial Campaign, which is scheduled to conclude in December 2019 during UCLA's 100th anniversary year.

KHARTOUM, Nov 18 (AFP) — A Sudanese cargo plane caught fire and exploded while preparing to land at a southern airport, killing all 13 people aboard, the airline's chief said Tuesday.
Mohamed Abdel Qadir, general manager of Saria Airlines, said "the plane caught fire and exploded" in an apparent accident as it approached Wau airport late Monday afternoon on a flight from the capital Khartoum.
Civil aviation investigators had arrived Tuesday at the scene where the main body of the Antonov 12 was found about four kilometers (about two-and-a-half miles) from the airport, Abdel Qadir told AFP.
Among the dead were the four Armenians, a Russian and an Uzbek who flew the Russian-made plane, he said earlier on state-run Omdurman Radio. In Moscow, the foreign ministry identified the crew as four Armenians and two Uzbeks.
The head of the private Khartoum-based airline added that all the others on board also died: three security officials, a Bank of Sudan official, a Saria engineer, a policeman and a military policeman.
Abdel Qadir said the plane was carrying commercial foods and an unspecified sum of money sent from the central Bank of Sudan to a local branch.
He later told AFP by telephone that "the impression we had from the outset and until now was that it was an accident," doubting it was caused by some kind of attack.
The independent Al Sahafa daily quoted witnesses as saying the plane was on fire in the air before it exploded and fell to the ground.
They added that debris was scattered over a wide area at the airport and that some of the bodies were burned beyond recognition, but Abdel Qadir could not confirm any debris there.
Wau, in Bahr al-Ghazal state, is one of the main government-held cities in southern Sudan, but there have been no reports of fighting for at least a year with the rebel Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA).
SPLA spokesman George Garang told AFP by telephone in Nairobi that rebel forces had nothing to do with the incident and that "the crash is purely an accident.
"We are still observing a strict ceasefire and therefore our forces, which are some 36 kilometres (23 miles) south of Wau, were not involved in the accident," Garang said.
The government and SPLA have made dramatic progress toward ending their 20-year civil war during peace negotiations in Kenya, and Washington expects a final agreement to be signed by the end of the year.
In recent years, one civil airline and several military planes have crashed in Sudan.
A Sudanese airliner crashed July 8 near the Red Sea coast, leaving a baby boy as the sole survivor among the 116 passengers and crew aboard the plane bound for Khartoum. The crash was blamed on technical faults.
A sandstorm was blamed for an accident in April 2002 that killed 14 senior officers, including a deputy defense minister who directed the war against rebels in southern Sudan.
In Upper Nile state in February 1998, a military plane crash killed Sudan's first vice president, General al-Zubair Mohammed Saleh, and 25 other people.
In June 1999, 50 people, including six officers, died when a military plane crashed due to an unspecified technical problem in the eastern state of Kassala, near Ethiopia, officials said.

Pheray is a 1949 Pakistani Punjabi-language film directed by Nazir Ahmed Khan. The story of the film was a remake of Nazir's own 1945 Indian film Gaon Ki Gori, that was released before partition. The music was given by Ghulam Ahmed Chishti and lyrics were written by G. A. Chishti and Baba Alam Siaposh.

The singers were Munawar Sultana and Inayat Hussain Bhatti. The film was released on 28 July 1949.

Pheray (1949 film) was a big musical hit and became Pakistan's first  'Silver Jubilee' film. It was screened in Lahore for 25 weeks at Palace Cinema and in Karachi for 5 weeks at Taj Mahal cinema.

Plot
Film Pheray was almost an identical love story as the famous folk story of Heer Ranjha. Sawarn Lata loves Nazir but her brother Allauddin is against their relationship. He marries her off with a wealthy man M. Ismael. The Hindu wedding ritual of seven steps around the fire (Pheray) are taken by Sawarn Lata's best friend Zeenat, who is entirely hidden in a traditional wedding dress. Sawarn Lata moves to her new home but plays a sick woman to avoid any sexual relations with her husband. M. Ismael is getting tired of her sickness and finally finds out the real fact of her behavior. He decides to re-arrange the wedding ceremony, but not with him this time, but with his wife's lover - and that was a happy end of Pakistan's first super hit musical film.

Discussion in 'iOS 8' started by The Doctor11, Jun 9, 2014.
So right now in iOS 7 if you get a group message you get a notification with the senders name. I'm guessing that is the same in iOS 8. But my question is. In iOS 8 if you pull down for quick reply and it's a group message does it show that it's a group message or the other peoples names or something like that?
Great question- as you'd wanna know who's reading before firing off a text!
Ok this is my concern. If you use quilt reply on a group message it won't let you know it's a group message. If you take a took at the sceen shot below it looks like you would expect but doesn't seem to have much room for a list of names. Can some one please let me know if there is any attempt to show that it's a group message?
Group chats have customizable names in iOS 8. Presumably if you get a message in a named group chat, the name of the group chat will appear instead (or in addition to) the actual sender's name.
True. But how many people will take the time I name the group message?
Once one person names it, it names it for the rest of the people in the group.
And it doesn't show the subject instead of the name. It just shows the name of who sent the message, even if it's in a group chat.
Be sure to file a bug report.
How? I don't have iOS 8 and I'm not a developer.
Well spotted Doctor11. Yeah it would be easier and more appropriate for someone who has iOS 8 and/or is a developer to report this. Otherwise, you are able to register a free developer account to report bugs, but if you don't even have iOS 8 there may be a problem if they request a stackshot or something. Then there's the feedback form that anyone can use. Up to you.
Yeah I'm not going to report it but some one with iOS 8 should.
You can report with a free dev account, and they only ask for a description of the problem.
Why? Probably better that than not submitting it anyway.
I definitely agree with you, I'll test this tonight and submit it on your behalf if there is no indication for a group message.
Anyone else having an issue with Group Chats sending as an iMessage to some people and texts to others. Creating big confusion here.
