78th Annual Golden Globes Nominations: A Promising Day for Women
Karen M. Peterson February 3, 2021
It's an exciting morning for fans of Nomadland, Promising Young Woman, The Trial of the Chicago 7, One Night in Miami, and more as the Hollywood Foreign Press unveiled their nominations for the 78th Annual Golden Globes. Honoring both film and television, there is a lot to process as we take a closer look at the day's big announcements.
Three women were nominated for Best Director, as Chloé Zhao, Regina King, and Emerald Fennell continue their march through an unprecedented awards season. Their films, Nomadland, One Night in Miami, and Promising Young Woman, have cast their spells on Hollywood and hope to be able to take their success all the way to the Oscars. Similar to AMPAS, the HFPA has only nominated five female directors in their history. It was in 2018 that presenter Natalie Portman drew attention for calling out the glaring omission of women when she announced, "Here are the all male nominees," during the live broadcast.
As exciting as that news is, David Fincher is having a big celebration today as Mank was the most recognized film with six nominations including Picture, Director, Lead Actor, Supporting Actress and Score. Mank also earned a posthumous nomination for screenwriter Jack Fincher, who passed away in 2003.
Sacha Baron Cohen and his sequel, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, had a good morning with multiple nominations. Cohen won a Golden Globe for his first Borat film in 2006 and translated that win into an Oscar nomination. The film was nominated for three Golden Globes, in Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Lead Actor, and Lead Actress Maria Bakalova. Cohen is a double nominee today as he was also recognized for his performance in Aaron Sorkin's The Trial of the Chicago 7, which earned nods in Picture, Director, and Screenplay.
Leslie Odom, Jr. is a double nominee, for both Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture and writing the original song, "Speak Now," in Regina King's One Night in Miami. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross were also double nominees as their scores for "Mank" and "Soul" both made the cut for Original Score. Jon Batiste joined them in the nomination for "Soul."
For every celebration there is a twinge of disappointment and maybe a bit of surprise. Lee Isaac Chung's beautiful family drama, Minari, made headlines in December when the HFPA announced it would be considered in the Foreign Language category rather than in Drama. The film is now an official Golden Globe nominee, but none of its stars were recognized for their work.
There is also an odd juxtaposition between the inclusions in some categories and the exclusions in others. For example, Regina King scored a directing nomination, as did Leslie Odom, Jr. — twice. But their film, One Night in Miami, didn't make it into the lineup of Best Pictures. Neither did Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, Judas and the Black Messiah, or The United States vs. Billie Holiday, all of which showed up elsewhere. Spike Lee and Da 5 Bloods were ignored altogether.
In the Comedy/Musical realm, Ryan Murphy's The Prom was cited for Best Motion Picture, and so was lead actor James Corden. With such a star-studded cast, it's exciting for Corden but may seem a bit surprising, unless you remember the one rule of the HFPA: they love their Brits.
There is plenty more to examine, analyze, and ponder, and with tomorrow's SAG nomination announcement the race is clearly taking shape. But, as we have repeatedly been reminding everyone, there is still a month to go before the eligibility period even ends. Many of these nominations align with the narrative a lot of awards prognosticators have been building, but now more than ever, nothing is guaranteed. There are still no "locks" five weeks before Oscar nomination voting opens.

Car racing is a special sport which contains several different disciplines like sports skillset, vehicle type, competition and even racers. So not many people can practice car race normally.
Complete introduction to Formula 1 Japanese Motorcycle Grand Prix
Grand Prix F1 is the largest-scale racing competition held in Japan. With the participation of the top 20 riders around the world with supercar heavy skills.
The match lasted for 3 days, bringing about 165 thousand spectators from all over the country to Japan. In this article, I would like to introduce the history and venue of the Japanese Grand Prix match.
Suzukacircuit racetrack with an international design of unique obstacles, like the large figure 8. With variable race tracks including low speed, medium speed, high speed, professional driving techniques are also applied.
In addition, the characteristics of the track at Suzukacircuit, you can not find anywhere else. Firstly, this race has many visitors to attend with cosplay costumes of cartoon characters. Here, there are not only supportive clubs and encouragement boards.
There are also fans who wear Happi and wear Happi with a collective shirt color. Through twitter, the organizers of the campaign advertise through cosplay photos of the fans. Many fascinating articles about the match and became the topic of discussion throughout the time.
The match was first held in 1987 at Suzukacircuit of Mie Province, and the match is still in place. Ayrton Senna is a symbol of this sport until the first half of 1990. Among them are famous Japanese riders such as Sugajima, Suzuki Aguri, Sato Takuma, Kobayashi Kamui…
Then, The fan also started increasing gradually. Every year, the Grand Prix race will take place in October, many F1 fans also attend. In 2020, Honda has become the main sponsor. The content of the event is also very diverse to bring satisfaction to visitors such as organizing events to show driving techniques in matches.
The match was officially organized as "The 17th Japan Grand Prix race, the season with international F1 F1 FIA riders under the sponsorship of Honda". That's losing match with the victory of Lewis Hamilton in Mercedes F1 tournament.

Plant-Based Protein Gaining Traction
Demand for Plant-Based Protein Increases in 2018
How do we reconcile the traditionally American animal-protein heavy diet with science backing the importance of vegetable consumption? A new generation of plant-based proteins aims to answer that question.
The average eater in the U.S. has an imprinted image of a plate, broken into 4 wedges, each of which representing a category: fruits, vegetables, grains/starches, and protein. This plate represents the general amount of each of these foods they should be consuming, with the largest wedge belonging to vegetables.
If we were using this plate to represent how the average American really eats, the protein wedge would look much more like the vegetable wedge. On average, Americans eat twice the amount of protein they require daily (1), normally in the form of animal-based protein.
But as a country, our science is getting better, our information moves further, faster, and our people are becoming wiser. We know now that it's detrimental to our health to consume more vegetables and reduce our intake of animal proteins, and we're adjusting our diets to reflect that.
40% more Americans are attempting to incorporate plant-based foods in their diet, and 23% are looking specifically for plant-based proteins to assist (2). In light of this, some crafty culinarians have set out to recreate the taste, texture, aroma, Maillard reaction, and even the "bleeding" effect common to animal meats using plant-based proteins. Companies like Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat are creating a cult of popularity that's beginning to appear in national restaurant chains.
Impossible Burgers have made their way into burger titans such as Hopdoddy, Fatburger, and Umami Burger. Beyond Meat has found equal success in national markets such as Target, AmazonFresh, and Kroger, as well as restaurants like BurgerFi and TGI Fridays. Beyond Meat has also developed a line of "chicken" products, bratwurst, and sausages.
Another plant-based protein carrier that continues to grow in popularity is the ever present, and universally enjoyed falafel. This crispy little concoction of chickpeas and spices offers a center-of-the-plate star that can be fried, baked, dipped, deconstructed, and dressed-up to your heart's content. It's not only the flexibility of falafel that makes it so popular, but also, it's unique, savory taste and crispy texture. Expect to see it landing in more unexpected locations soon.
Drop us a line and let us know what other unique plant-based proteins you've come across.

Last March 27th I drove down to the Plymouth Moose Lodge, the venue for a recorded interview with Dave Palmater on Song Sessions, a program conceived by Bob Crownfield.
Many of you know Dave Palmater from his DJ stints on WUMB-FM, so for me it was an honor and a pleasure to have him listen me to sing my 6-song set, interspersing them with comments and questions about this and that.

VIdeo Performances
An invitation to make a video recording for Studio Sessions Live at the HCAM studios in Hopkinton, Massachusetts in March, 2014, had me reheasing for the show with my stalwart bandmate and friend, Eric Luskin.

A number of songs were recorded for the 45 minute show, and here…
Nice things people say about Mel's performances!
"I was there… and you brought class to the stage with your instinctive ensemble skill.

2011 – 2012 Gigs and Activities
The last three months of 2011 included opportunities to play out at Open Mics around Boston, with no gigs planned until August, when Nourish Restaurant in Lexington, MA hosts a night of "Mel Green & Friends"...
Appearances at the Lincoln Open Mic solo, and with friends Amy Lohman and Brad Meyer were a lot of fun and new three-part harmonies with them were great fun, sounded really good and inquiries when the new group would appear were asked. Very encouraging.

Boeuf Bourguignon is a traditional French dish. I was often choosing it in parisian restaurants because I thought it is too complex to do it in our little apartment.
Recently I stumble upon an old video from 60s' of Julia Child preparing the famous Boeuf Bourguignon . It is unbelievable how a black & white video can move your imagination and make you really hungry! It made me obsessed with the idea of making my own Boeuf Bourguignon. To my surprise, it turned out to be much easier than I expected! This delicious dish will worthily represent France on our blog featuring Simple Recipes from around the World.
Here you can watch the video of Julia Child preparing the Boeuf Bourguignon.
I would also like to recommend you movie "Julie and Julia" (2009) with Meryl Streep playing Julia!
1. Cut the meat into 3cm cubes. Sear it on each side and put into a oven proof dish. Set it on the side.
2. Do not wash your frying pan yet. Pour the wine and the water on it. Add tomato paste and bring everything to the boil.
3. Pour it on the meat. Add thyme and bay leaves. Cut onions in half and cut the carrots into big chunks. Add them to the oven proof dish together with garlic and cover everything. Put to the preheated to 170′C oven for 2.5 -3h.
4. After this time drain the meat (I used my noodle sieve ). Pour the drained wine sauce back into a frying pan and reduce it (boil it for few minutes to evaporate some water and make sauce thicker).
5. Serve with mashed potatoes. Enjoy!

A President Trump? Good for Duterte's PH, Bad for Liberal Party
Donald Trump won the US elections. I admit that I was thoroughly shocked, given that electoral surveys historically predicted a Clinton win. I guess the scandalous Podesta emails [NBC], which gave the American public invaluable insight on the corruption pervading the political establishment, did her in.
The reactions to Trump's win have been mixed. We can expect jubilation at the Trump camp, that's a given. However, what surprised me was the magnitude of the reaction from the other side: passionate Clinton supporters crying in disbelief, the crash of Canada's immigration website, etc.
Even my Jewish best friend, who's been in New York his entire life, told me, "I'm depressed and scared."
There shall be a truckload of articles that will attempt to predict what Trump's win entails for America, that's a given: I will not be writing another article just to add to that noise.
Instead, I will explain what Trump's win means for the Philippines, and let me start it off by saying:
A Trump win may be good for the Philippines, and let me tell you why.
If Duterte is removed
We all know that the Liberal Party wants Duterte out of Malacañang as soon as possible [TP: Assassinate]. However, if the massively popular Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte gets deposed, we can expect at least three things:
First, massive civil unrest
What's clear is that Duterte's campaign woke up the anger of the populace of decades of post-Marcos government incompetence. If the population will simply hold a peaceful anti-Robredo EDSA Revolution, that would be relatively bearable. But who can serve as a tolerable replacement? And will the people be able to temper their anger and frustration while at it? If neither condition is fulfilled, this civil unrest may likely lead to widespread civil disobedience and even bloody riots.
Second, anti-American retaliation
I sincerely pray this won't happen, but we can never discount this possibility. If the public finds out that the US helped LP depose Duterte, there's a real possibility of potentially violent retaliation against about 30,000 [PSA] Americans in the country. We know that isn't good.
Third, a civil war
Duterte is the first president to give Muslim separatists and communist rebels a real shot at peace after decades upon decades of failed government promises, and it's likely that the latter believe that this is their last chance at attaining it. This cannot be more true for Nur Misuari who, like Duterte, is already of advanced age.
That is, Duterte's removal may translate into a civil war [Inq] with a prospective Robredo Government on one side and a hodgepodge alliance of Muslim rebels, communists, and extremely disgruntled citizens on the other. I may (emphasis on "may") even be one of them.
But most importantly, deposing Duterte will leave a fractured nation that provides easier entry for ISIS if and when the latter gets driven out of the Middle East.
Duterte: Federalism or ISIS?
Duterte: ISIS. When? I really do not kow. But are they coming? They will come.
Posted by Thinking Pinoy on Sunday, November 6, 2016
Yes, it's that bad, but the oppositionist Liberal Party is at it, and it seeks to bolster its campaign by wooing American support.
It starts with Plan ICC
Duterte himself admitted that the government's crusade against criminality, drugs, and corruption, along with his campaign to set up a Federal government and his attempt at etching an independent foreign policy, will take a considerable amount of time. Unfortunately, his political longevity is under threat as his international image continuously erodes.
Today, the global public generally views President Rodrigo Duterte as an unrelenting human rights violator, with some camps putting him in the league of fallen leaders Muammar Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein, and Adolf Hitler. Duterte's negative international image would have been irrelevant if not for the risk of public clamor that may trigger an International Criminal Court (ICC) investigation, a risk made more real by Gambian ICC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda's recent statements [Star].
An announcement of an ICC investigation of Duterte's human rights record, let alone a conviction, will certainly obliterate the new president's international legitimacy, drastically weakening his bargaining power in the international arena.
Regime Change after ICC
And what happens when Duterte loses his international legitimacy? He can more easily be deposed by the pro-US opposition led by the Liberal Party, and with help from the United States. An assassination., an ICC conviction, an accident… There are many ways to do it.
Yes, a President Leni Robredo may not be palatable for most Filipinos, but for LP, it's better than nothing. LP can settle for someone who may not enjoy local support, but enjoys international recognition, similar to the kind of presidency Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo had.
But will the US really help LP kick Duterte out?
Yes, for three reasons:
Because the United States has a history of supporting, or even effecting, regime change in other countries to suit US interests.
Because [TP: Duterte's international policy realignment] is a humongous headache for the United States.
Because the Liberal Party, a staunch US ally, has close connections with major US policymakers.
Let's tackle these one by one.
First, America's history with Regime Change
If US vs Nicaragua says anything, it's that the Americans are not averse into violating the sovereignty of other countries by financially supporting candidates who are better aligned to their interests. In 1989, the US Congress passed HR 3385 "to provide assistance for free and fair elections in Nicaragua." [Congress], although it really was aimed to support the (successful) presidential bid of unpopular but US-aligned candidate Violeta Chamorro.
But it's not just about elections.The US has a long history of militarily intervening in other countries' domestic politics, with the most recent one being the operations in Libya against Muammar Gaddafi [PBS], in Syria against Bashar Al-Assad, and in Iraq against Saddam Hussein [CNN].
All these three "Humanitarian Interventions" by the United States backfired. The Americans kicked out Gaddafi then the terrorists took over the Syrian Government. American operations in Syria led to the creation of ISIS [Harvard]. America's overthrow of Saddam caused a power vacuum that eventually led to an ongoing civil war and the rise of Iraqi extremism [Time].
And Duterte has pointed out these three examples many, many times.
In short, the US has done it before, so it can still do it again. For one, Ramos' unexpected 180-degree turn over Duterte's foreign policy is a testament to US pressure [TP: Team PH Losing]. At first I though it was a just an internal misunderstanding between Ramos and Duterte, until the latter threw major shade at the former president last week [Video].
Second, US-PH relations
Relations between the Philippines and United States took a massive turn for the worse as soon as Duterte occupied Malacañang, with the most poignant piece of evidence being Duterte's détente with China. In one fell swoop, Duterte managed to position the country from a staunch US ally to somewhere in the middle of the US-China power struggle. And did I mention Duterte's frequent anti-West tirades [TP: Hitler]?
Duterte's foreign policy realignment, in essence, is a major obstacle for America's "Pivot to Asia". Because of Duterte, America will find it harder to enhance its sociopolitical and military influence in Asia. I need not expound on this anymore.
Third, LP has the connections
The Liberal Party has always been known to have very closed relations with the United States. Aside from the pro-American foreign policy decisions over the past six years that hurt Philippine interests [TP: Yasay's Face], several key people within the party are known to have close ties with key people in the US political establishment.
The Gerry Roxas Foundation, founded by LP President Mar Roxas' father Gerry Roxas, has received a US$ 24 million grant from USAID. USAID, the American Government's philanthropic arm, is widely considered as a covert tool for advancing US interests abroad at the expense of their host countries [QZ].
The organization has previously been expelled in Russia [BBC], Bolivia [BBC], Ecuador [NBC], Cuba, Dominica, Venezuela, and Nicaragua [VA].
That says a lot, but there's one more thing: LP's connection with Loida Nicolas-Lewis of the influential Washington lobby group US Philippines Society (USPS).
Loida and USPS people
USPS' most vocal member, the billionaire Loida Nicolas Lewis, has actively campaigned for LP's Mar Roxas and Leni Robredo [Inq]. This is the same Loida that Duterte accused of plotting to support massive demonstrations against the latter [FB].
Sitting as USPS co-chairman is Metro Pacific's Manny V. Pangilinan [USPS], the same person who conspired with Aquino Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario to sell us out to China [TP: Spratlys].
Duterte's May 2016 win spelled trouble for two of MVP's major businesses. First, Duterte's friendliness with China essentially killed Philex Petroleum [TP: Chef Duterte]. Second, Environment Secretary Gina Lopez is torturing MVP's mining interests, and Duterte himself told MVP, " I know you are not happy with my new DENR secretary [GMA]."
Philippine Ambassador to the US Joey Cuisia, also a USPS director, is not happy with Duterte either. He rejected Duterte's offer to extend his ambassadorship, citing his dissatisfaction over Perfecto Yasay's appointment as Foreign Secretary [TV5].
USPS Director Maurice Greenberg was Chairman and CEO of the insurance giant AIG [USPS]. AIG used to employ Mar Roxas, who in late 1990s tried to resuscitate the ailing insurance industry by imposing unnecessarily strict regulations on the pre-need industry, essentially killing the latter. The bankruptcy of CAP (College Assurance Plan)? Mar's moves tremendously benefitted Greenberg's AIG.
Those of you who had to drop out of college because CAP closed down? Blame Roxas and Greenberg. But I am digressing.
That's just three of the links, but I'll stop at this point because I want to limit this article to 2500 words max.
Most Fil-Am leaders backed the Clinton campaign [Inq]. But among these Fil-Am leaders, the most important and most influential are those who belong to the US-Philippines Society.
Nicolas-Lewis, arguably the most influential Fil-Am in the US, openly and financially supported the Clinton campaign [MT]. Greenberg financially backed Republican Jeb Bush's campaign so it's an indication that he dislikes Trump. USPS President John Maisto also openly denounced Trump [WaPo], so that's support for Clinton.
But wait! There's more.
USPS Chairman John Negroponte
Among the USPS members, the most important is former US Ambassador to Manila John Negroponte, he's taken an interest in the Duterte-era Philippines when he visited the new president in July 2016 [TV5].
What is John Negroponte most (in)famous for?
Negroponte spearheaded the Iran-Contra Affair, which funded Nicaraguan rebels using profits from US arms sales to Iran, with the hope of overthrowing the anti-American Nicaraguan Government [PBS]. This scandal led to the Nicaragua vs US Case in the International Court of Justice, a case that US lost [BostonLaw].
SIDE NOTE: Nicaragua vs US is the same case that DLSU Prof. Richard "#MayMastersKaBa" Heydarian [Quartz] has been using to justify the South China Sea arbitration's US$ 7 million (Php 328 million) price tag [ABS], whose result cannot be enforced for lack of US support [TP: Breaking Away]. There's a reason why "face", "brain", and "humility" are three different words.
Sounds familiar? Yes, Negroponte can basically influence Washington to do another Iran-Contra affair, with the Philippines taking Nicaragua's place.
But how influential is he?
He openly endorsed Clinton and Clinton even gushed over that endorsement [Esquire]. That's how big of a deal his is, as his interventionist philosophy heavily influenced Clinton's personal geopolitical policy as she supported US-instigated regime change operations in Libya [FP], Iraq [FP], and Syria [Telegraph]. She has suggested a "review" of US policy in Syria during the election season, but we all know that it's just to assuage the war-weary American public.
Hillary is key to LP interests
As I have explained in the previous sections, US is capable of undertaking foreign intervention, US interests clash with Duterte's, and LP has the necessary connections to make this possible.
But LP's plot to oust Duterte through US support has one vital ingredient: a President Hillary Clinton.
LP knows this full well. Have you observed how LP attack pig Leila de Lima desperately frames her situation as a clash between a woman (that's her) and a misogynistic President Duterte? Have you noticed how the LP-aligned Philippine Daily Inquirer frames the recent VP Leni Knee Joke as a another anti-woman deed by Duterte [Video]? Or how about that Agot Isidro issue [Inq], where the self-proclaimed victim happens to be a woman?
Yes, the #EveryWoman campaign is geared at aligning the Duterte Ouster Plot not only with US interests, but also with Clinton's personal crusade for women's rights. This makes a prospective intervention in the Philippines more palatable not only for Clinton, but also for the American Public.
Yes, a President Clinton is important in forwarding LP's political interests.
Too bad Trump won.
Presidents Duterte and Trump
Duterte issued a statement as soon as news of Trump's win broke out, with Duterte saying he doesn't "want to quarrel anymore, because Trump has won [Reuters]." This is a shocking turn of events given Duterte's belligerence towards outgoing US President Barack Obama, best characterized by the former's acerbic language [BBC] that made headlines throughout the world.
What does Trump's win mean for the Duterte's Philippines?
First, Trump's win drastically impedes Duterte ouster plot.
Trump's victory basically cut off the US-Philippines Society's connection with the highest echelon of the American political establishment. USPS supported Hillary with its chairman Negroponte being a Hillary fan, and Trump knows that all too well.
Oh, and just imagine LP pushing for closer US-PH relations with a President Trump in the picture. Schadenfreude galore!
Second, we can expect a less antagonistic US policy in the Philippines.
Even he didn't say it explicitly, Duterte might have anticipated a Trump win. Just a couple of days before the US elections, Duterte appointed Century Properties Group Chairman and CEO Jose E.B. Antonio's as special envoy to Washington for trade, investment and economic affairs [ABS]. Antonio, who owns Trump Tower Manila, is Trump's Philippine partner.
Duterte just executed a masterstroke. Yasay, who probably advised him on the matter, did really well.
Third, warmer US-PH relations translates to a stronger bargaining chip against China.
Yes, we have achieved a détente between our country and China, but relations still remain strained, as evidenced by the presence of coast guard ships in Panatag Shoal despite the lifting of the fishing ban [Inq]. However, in its bid for global dominance, it is in China's interest to turn this détente into a rapprochement, i.e. make this relationship warmer.
But President Trump – who is potentially far less interventionist than Clinton vis-à-vis the Philippines – will make it harder for China. Hence, China may decide to woo us a bit more that it intends to. And that's good news for regular Filipinos. Bad news for LP, but good news for the common tao.
I am uncertain as to what a Trump presidency will mean for the United States, but I am fairly confident that a Trump Presidency bodes well for my motherland [ThinkingPinoy].
UPDATE 26 Nov 2016: Coup-plotter and Liberal Party-aligned Sen. Antonio Trillanes was spotted in Macy's Department Store in New York City. What's he doing there?

"Dad, what is a photographer?" My daughter's question forced me to confront one widespread misconception. Photography was born when inventors succeeded in permanently recording the interaction between light and matter; so why does almost everyone in the arts, publishing industry, and education community call a numeric code designed for mutation, a photograph? In The Photographer's Choice I present my answer to this question and to my daughter's.
Digital technology is not responsible for confusion and manipulation; human decisions are accountable for ambiguity. Long before the advent of digital imaging, visual fanatics fostered the mystification of photography with doctored printing. Photography deserves semantic precision; today as in 1839, a photograph must be differentiated from generic terms like "image," "picture," and "print." The Photographer's Choice proposes a definition of the term "photograph" and introduces the term "wish-graph." Once the topic is cleared from misconceptions, this book examines the knowledge that true photographic observations disclose.
The Photographer's Choice confronts more than photographers' choices. This book questions core values in a moment when we are steering into virtual labyrinths with no real cord. Artists, editors, parents and children, photographers, scientists, and teachers face the same choice: reality or an easy denial of it?

Ramadan is just around the corner! Although that often rings bells of fasting during the day and yummy iftaars in the evenings, Ramadan also comes with a beautiful new addition to a Muslim's daily routine – Taraweeh. It is a breathtaking scene when one sees men, women and children hurrying to the mosques after iftaar, spirits high and 'assalamualikums' filling the air.

ROME: Eleven hikers, up from eight, are now reported to have died in flash floods in Italy's southern Calabria region, with five people still missing, rescue services said today.
Several hiking groups were caught yesterday afternoon by the flooding in the Raganello river gorge in southern Cozenza province, with local authorities saying that 23 people had been rescued.
A Dutch hiker, quoted in local media, said: "A real avalanche of water came unexpectedly. We did not have time to do anything. I was lucky, it was an incredible thing." On Monday, this part of Calabria experienced several hours of heavy rain and strong winds although conditions began to improve during the evening.

The Invention of the White Race
Posted by @ndy
Update : see : The assault on American Indian tribal relationships…
…is the title of two volumes by Theodore W. Allen, published by Verso. Volume One (1994) is sub-titled 'Racial Oppression and Social Control'; Volume Two (1997) 'The Origin of Racial Oppression in Anglo-America'. What Poumista would probably describe as a "neat-o" summary of his argument is available here.
I picked them up for a song from Barricade.
Ted's work brings to mind two other works of a similar nature. The first is How the Irish Became White (Routledge, 1995/2008) by the race traitor Noel Ignatiev —
The Irish came to America in the eighteenth century, fleeing a homeland under foreign occupation and a caste system that regarded them as the lowest form of humanity. In the new country – a land of opportunity – they found a very different form of social hierarchy, one that was based on the color of a person's skin. Noel Ignatiev's 1995 book – the first published work of one of America's leading and most controversial historians – tells the story of how the oppressed became the oppressors; how the new Irish immigrants achieved acceptance among an initially hostile population only by proving that they could be more brutal in their oppression of African Americans than the nativists. This is the story of How the Irish Became White.
— and J. Sakai's Settlers: Mythology of the White Proletariat (Morningstar, 1989 (1983?) [PDF]. A critical review — 'J. Sakai's Settlers and Anti-Racist Working-Class Politics' by Sebastian Lamb (of the Canadian group New Socialist) — is available here. On a spotterly note, Seb writes: "The roots of the problem [with Sakai's argument] are in the book's crude theoretical framework, one of many versions of the Maoist "Marxism-Leninism" that flourished in the "New Communist Movement" (NCM) of the 1960s and 1970s (see… Max Elbaum's book Revolution in the Air…)" (Verso, 2002) and especially Loren Goldner's review of same.

The book sounds interesting. Verso have been putting out some good stuff in recent years.
I've been having a similar debate with some 'traditional conservatives' recently, who can't seem to come to grips with the notion that 'race' is a concept that was initially used to prop up every kind of bigotry and imperialist venture. The point about the Irish is particularly relevant. One of them tried to point out how successfully 'Anglo-Celtic' people had integrated into Australia, or some such, when I tried to point out that the conjunction of Anglo and Celtic actually papers over the kicking the Irish received from the Brits until fairly recently.

Verso done published heaps of neat stuff.
Re the silly billy conservative revolutionary traditionalists — cf. Carl Schmitt — their grasp of history is as firm as their grip on theory. Re the dirty Fenian bastards — Allen's work is based precisely on a comparison of the English conquest of Ireland with that of the New World…
The Irish
21. From early in the thirteenth century, until their power entered a two-and-a-half-century eclipse in 1315,21 the Anglo-Norman English dealt with the contradictions between English law and Irish tribal Brehon law by refusing to recognize Celtic law, and at the same time denying the Irish admittance to the writs and rights of English law.22
22. In 1277, high Irish churchmen, having secured support among powerful tribal chieftains, submitted a petition to English King Edward I, offering to pay him 8,000 marks in gold over a five-year period for the general enfranchisement of free Irishmen under English law. The king was not himself unwilling to make this grant of English law. But he thought he ought to get more money for it, and so the Irish three years later raised the offer to 10,000 marks.23
23. What was being asked was not the revolutionary reconstitution of society, but merely the abandonment of "racial" distinction among freemen ruled by English law in Ireland. In the end the king left the decision to the Anglo-Norman magnates of Ireland, and they declined to give their assent. Referring to a replay of this issue which occurred some fifty years later, Sir John Davies concluded that, "The great [English] lordes of Ireland had informed the king that the Irishry might not be naturalized, without damage and prejudice either to themselves, or to the Crowne."24
24. Irish resentment and anger found full voice in the wake of the Scots invasion made in 1315 at the invitation of some Irish tribes. In 1317, Irish chieftains, led by Donal O'Neill, king of Tyrone, joined in a Remonstrance to John XXII, Pope to both English and Irish. In that manifesto the Irish charged that the kings of England and the Anglo-Norman "middle nation" had practiced genocide against the Irish, "enacting for the extermination of our race most pernicious laws."25 It presented a four-count indictment: 1) Any Englishman could bring an Irishman into court on complaint or charge, but "every Irishman, except prelates, is refused all recourse to the law by the very fact [of being Irish ]"; 2) "When…some Englishman kills an Irishman…no punishment or correction is inflicted;" 3) Irish widows of English men were denied their proper portion of inheritance; and, 4) Irish men were denied the right to bequeath property.
25. Whatever exactly the remonstrants meant by their word "race," their grievances, like those of the African-Americans and the American Indians we have cited, bore the hallmark of racial oppression. From the Petition of 1277 to the Remonstrance of 1317, it was specifically the legal status of the free Irish men, rather than the unfree, which was at issue.
"The really peculiar feature about the situation in Ireland is that the free Irishman who had not been admitted to English law was, as far as the royal courts were concerned, in much the same position as the betagh [the Irish laborer bound to the land]."26
Compelling parallels
26. Given the common constitutional principles of the three cases–the Irish, the American Indian, and the African-American–the abundant parallels they present are more than suggestive; they constitute a compelling argument for the sociogenic theory of racial oppression.27
27. If, from the beginning of the eighteenth century in Anglo-America, the term "negro" meant slave, except when explicitly modified by the word "free,"28 so, under English (Anglo-Norman) thirteenth-century law, the term "hibernicus," Latin for "Irishman," was the legal term for "unfree."29 If under Anglo-American slavery, "the rape of a female slave was not a crime, but a mere trespass on the master's property,"30 so, in 1278, two Anglo-Normans, brought into court and charged with raping Margaret O'Rorke were found not guilty because "the said Margaret is an Irishwoman."31 If a law enacted in Virginia in 1723, provided that, "manslaughter of a slave is not punishable,"32 so under Anglo-Norman law it sufficed for acquittal to show that the victim in a slaying was Irish.33 Anglo-Norman priests granted absolution on the grounds that it was "no more sin to kill an Irishman than a dog or any other brute."34 If African-Americans were obliged to guard closely any document they might have attesting their freedom, so, in Ireland at the beginning of the fourteenth century, letters patent, attesting to a person's Englishness, were cherished by those who might fall under suspicion of trying to "pass."35 If the Georgia Supreme Court, ruled in 1851 that "the killing of a negro" was not a felony, but upheld an award of damages to the owner of an African-American bond-laborer murdered by another "white" man,36 so, in 1310 an English court in Ireland freed Robert Walsh, an Anglo-Norman charged with killing John Mac Gilmore, because the victim was "a mere Irishman and not of free blood," it being stipulated that "when the master of the said John shall ask damages for the slaying, he [Walsh] will be ready to answer him as the law may require."37 If in 1884 the United States Supreme Court, citing much precedent authority, including the Dred Scott decision, declared that Indians were legally like immigrants, and therefore not citizens except by process of individual naturalization38; so, for four centuries, until 1613, the Irish were regarded by English law as foreigners in their own land.39 If the testimony of even free African-Americans was disallowed as uncreditable;40 so, in Anglo-Norman Ireland, native Irish of the free classes were deprived of legal defense against English abuse because they were not "admitted to English law," and hence had no rights which an Englishman was bound to respect.

This stuff about the Irish is complete crap…the Irish slaves (oh sorry, "indentured servants") in America were treated WORSE than the black slaves. A black slave was worth 3 or 4 times as much as an Irish one, because the blacks were stronger and worked harder! Not only were there white slaves in America, there were also free blacks, and even black slave owners! It wasn't anywhere near as neat and 'racial hierarchical' as you make it out to be!
Jamie R on May 29, 2009 at 10:01 pm
History has become so biased by things that didn't even exist back then. Race factored into Irish people in the 18th century? Um no. Neither did it anyone else. Race and genetics and DNA are a modern invention.
Before Darwin:
1 a: a social group comprising numerous families, clans, or generations together with slaves, dependents, or adopted strangers b: a political division of the Roman people originally representing one of the three original tribes of ancient Rome 2: group of persons having a common character, occupation, or interest.
Tribe is cultural.
1: a breeding stock of animals 2: a family, tribe, people, or nation belonging to the same stock
BREEDING STOCK. Bring the scientists in! Cause no one else recognises that or cares about that before the 19th century of Europe. Yeah we get enlightened, To what? To our future destruction.
Macca on May 30, 2009 at 1:08 pm
I suppose you think the Aboriginal race is just a social construct, too, eh? Invented by lower class white trash to bolster their own fragile position in the social pecking order?
Just try telling any blackfella that his race is an invention, he'll punch you in the bloody face mate.
And rightly so!
Macca,
I don't think you've understood the argument.
Nah mate, I think I've understood the argument.
You're saying that race doesn't exist, and it's just a social construct.
That's a bunch of shit.
You cunts take the blackfellas' land and culture, now you want to take our race as well.
Correction: you obviously don't understand the argument; the meanings of the terms 'race' or 'social construction'; history; ontology; or — I suspect — much of anything else.

Macca: Biologically there is no differentiation between whites and blacks, asians or semites etc. The concept of race is based purely on the pigmentation of the skin which over years of evolution changed depending on the geographical climatic conditions a human evolved under. Take a biology course, read a book and expand your mind.

"Swearing is neither big nor clever."
Andy, the bourgeois 'anarchist'.
Watch out Macca, you'll offend the little white boy nerd's bourgeois sensibilties.
Bullshit. We have a unique DNA going back 40,000 years. It's not about skin colour. You think anyone can be a blackfella? Like fucking hell
We already have problems with white people claiming to be Kooris. You cunts go on about land rights, then when it comes down to it, you sell us out and claim that anyone can be a blackfella, it's just about skin colour
You have a big flapping bloody mouth and it needs to be SHUT
Lumpen on May 31, 2009 at 7:18 pm
Macca: If race is biological, are there genes that are uniquely Aboriginal and are these the same thing as race?
Australian Aborigines are genetically unique and in fact there are (from what I understand – not a scientist) 5 distinct genetic groupings, sharing common ancestry (and genes) with some Papuans, interestingly enough. The unique DNA found in Aborigines seem to go back between 45,000 and 70,000 years to (likely) a common, African ancestor and predating uniquely European gene sets by quite some time. There's also a chance of multiple ancestors for Aborigines (such as later migration from other genetic groups).
My point is that if it is genes that describe "race," then what is called "Aboriginal" in Australia describes at least five different races and on this level one word wouldn't be enough to describe what is going on. Being part of the same genetic group doesn't mean you'll share the same culture. Even in the same culture there are clans. So even if you said there were five Aboriginal races in Australia, it still wouldn't be enough. Why reduce it at all? Who benefits from this? Note that this is not the same thing as saying "you don't exist".
It's a fair amount of bullshit on your part to claim that a single "Aboriginal race" exists outside the process of colonisation and then claim, it seems, that stating otherwise amounts to denying that there was an indigenous population before European invasion, genetically distinct or otherwise. It's not like people sat around in one big group waiting for Europeans to come and tell them who they are. The idea of a single Aboriginal race (Australoid or otherwise) was invented in order to deal with (i.e. contain, kill and displace) a wide variety of people as a single group. "Aboriginal" is still useful to describe the indigenous population in order to positively discriminate (for example, in the above study), for a sense of identity for those displaced through colonisation and to organise, as in 'Aboriginal Advancement League.' It's pretty fucking obvious that without colonisation an Aboriginal Advancement League would have been a completely alien idea. No-one is denying that there is such a thing as the Wadeye, Wurundjeri etc. If you can't see that is what is being argued, I'd say you don't understand what has been said, or you're shit-stirring for the sake of it.
As for whites claiming to be Koori/Aboriginal, I'd be interested to know what the problems with this are exactly, if you have the time. How widespread is it? Do they claim to be from a specific group and can speak for them or just Aborigines in general? Anyone to watch out for in particular? I'd also like to hear what you think the solution is and who gets to say who is Aboriginal and who is not, and how claims could be tested. Ta.
PS. Not enough swearing in my post to prove how prole I am, so: fuck, shit, arse, dick, cunt and piss.
Tony Whit[e]more on May 31, 2009 at 8:59 pm
Ferox, you need to rethink and restructure your comment, because it contains an obvious contradiction. You state "Biologically there is no differentiation between whites and blacks, asians or semites etc.", then proceed to state "The concept of race is based purely on the pigmentation of the skin which over years of [evolution] changed depending on the geographical climatic conditions a human evolved under". If you want to include the word 'evolution', you're effectively stating change in the genetic material of a population of organisms from one generation to the next. For such morphism to occur would include deviation biologically. This is noticeable to the naked eye: Asian couple will produce offspring with 'Asiatic' characteristics, etc.

The Xi'an Railway Station is the fourth largest railway station in China considering its passenger flow volume. It is the important transportation hub that connects the Northwest and Southwest of China. From there one can reach to all the major cities in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Hangzhou.
Xi'an North Railway Station is one of the largest stations in Asia. It provides high-speed rail service only. Passengers from the station can reach to Shanghai, Guangzhou, Zhengzhou, Nanjing and other places.
Xi'an South Railway Station, located in the suburban area, mainly operates normal trains to/from Ankang, Dazhou, Chongqing, Taiyuan, Pingyao, Weinan, Huashan, and Lingshi etc.
How much could it cost for a family of 3 from Xi'an to Luoyang?
We will be traveling with our 10 year'd old boy and I prefer second class seat.
For second class seat, the ticket price is CNY174.5 per ticket. If the child is under 120cm, he can board for free by sharing the seat with you. If the height is under 150cm, the child can buy a child ticket with 50% off. If over 150cm, the child would need to buy adult ticket too. If you book the tickets with us, we will also charge a ticket booking service fee CNY36/USD5.49 per ticket. Hope for your advanced notice. Thank you.
business class is the best seat can be offered on all high speed rides. There are 3 seats in each row, the seat is very comfortable and passengers can lie down on it. First class seat has 4 seats in each row, seat still comfortable, passengers cannot lie down. It is just seat. Second class seat is the most economical class but still acceptable by most passengers. There are 5 seats in each row, like economy class on flight.
I would like to go from xian to shanghai. What station of shanghai i will be departure? Pls inform. Thanks alot..
Can I buy a subway card at Beijing West station?
I will move from Xi'an to Beijing by high speed train and stay at Beijing for 3 days. Can I buy a subway card at Beijing West when I arrive then? And what kind of card that you suggest to buy? Thanks.
What happen to overnight train schedule to Zhangye and Dunhuang? It doesn't have the time schedule sine 12 Oct 2017. Please answer.
They are under adjustment by the railway authority now thus not available now. It is still not clear yet when will this adjustment finished.

Twitter is reshuffling its executive office, in what observers appear to think is an effort to set the company up to make a lot more money. But if Twitter is still the "go-to" site for microblogging in 2012, one ought to be surprised. The company still faces at least four major hurdles to permanent profitability that it faced 12 months ago. And because they're systemic problems that prohibit the firm from obtaining durable monopoly pricing power, the situation isn't likely to change. The moment Twitter becomes sustainably profitable is the moment someone else gets serious about ripping off all of the good elements without any of the same startup costs.

Cora the cat enjoys some Christmas comfort after spending the last four months outdoors, surviving in Promontory while trying to find her lost owners. (Facebook photo)
Cora the cat reunited with B.C. family after 4 months on the loose
Cora's owners moved to the Interior from the Fraser Valley and had lost all hope of seeing her again
Eric Welsh
The cat came back, but not the very next day.
Cora took four months to find her way home, with plenty of help along the way.
Cora and two other cats (No Rue and Ruby) went missing in the First Avenue/Williams Street area of Chilliwack on Aug. 1, just as their owners, Alanna and Les Bilesky, were packed and ready to relocate to a hobby farm outside Osoyoos.
Les travelled back to Chilliwack a couple times after moving day to collect more belongings, hoping the cats would show up. He put out fresh litter, food and water and eventually, with help from a group called FCM Community Cat Trappers, all three were found. But Cora didn't stay captive for long. Sent to their daughter's house in Promontory until Les could get back to town, Houdini on four paws broke out again.

"She was always happier outside and would only come in to eat," Alanna said.
With their move to the Interior all but complete and the cat still on the lam, Alanna had nearly lost all hope of seeing Cora again.
"My heart was in my throat," she recalled. "All I could think of was, 'what if she's scared and can't find food or water?'"
Months passed with Alanna hoping someone would find the five-year-old cat. But with each passing day, it became more and more unlikely the cat would be able to find food and water, and avoid becoming food for the predators prowling the area.
But unknown to her, Cora was doing okay, and she was trying to find her way home.
On Christmas Eve, Alisha Roche was sitting on her patio in Promontory.

"My mom and I were outside, sitting by a fire, when she (Cora) decided to come say hi to us," Alisha said. "I gave her some tuna because it was Christmas Eve, went to bed and she slept outside all night. She stuck around and slept on the patio the next night too."
Alisha thought the cat would eventually move on, but when she got home from work on Boxing Day the feline was still there, poking around in her shed.
"She started meowing and greeting me, and she kept meowing for hours," Alisha said. "I was worried that she was still there, and I went on Facebook to see if she had an owner."
Christy Moschopedis responded almost immediately. Christy is a member of FCM Community Cat Trappers, a group of volunteers dedicated to helping feral cats in Chilliwack.
She couldn't believe it when she saw Cora's picture on the internet.
"Hi Alisha," she quickly wrote, responding to the Facebook post. "I'm pretty sure I know who that cat is."
Christy's crew helped round up Cora's siblings in August, but like Alanna, she held little hope that Cora could survive four months on her own.
"I was ridiculously excited when I recognized her in that Facebook photo," she said. " I was sure she was gone, and I wish she could tell us where the heck she's been!"
Cora was a bit on the skinny side, according to Alisha, "but overall not to bad for living outside for four months by herself."
Alisha brought her inside, fed her some tuna and handed her off to the folks at Chilliwack Animal Safe Haven, who agreed to house her until Alanna can get to Chilliwack.
"She's safely ensconced there, where I'm told she's eating enough for three cats," Christy laughed.
Alanna and Les are planning to collect her in early January and she can't wait to snuggle her cat once more.
"My heart is full of joy and I am so thankful," Alanna said. "So many people worked so hard to help us. I would encourage donations to FCM Community Cat Trappers as they work so hard to reunite cats with their families."

Gauteng Province, South Africa, joins the global ICLEI network
Gauteng, demographic and economic hub of South Africa, has joined ICLEI, the global network of cities and subnational governments leading the way towards a sustainable urban future.
"It is our pleasure to announce the news and welcome this important second tier subnational government, which now joins many of its fellow African cities, towns, districts and provinces, as a full member of ICLEI," says Kobie Brand, Director of ICLEI Africa.
"We are delighted to announce this historic move, by which our government is coming together with others – from across Africa and the world – to build a better and more sustainable future for our people. Regardless of the tier of government – National, Provincial, District, Local – we are facing similar challenges and need to connect in order to meaningfully address them," says Mr Mpho Nawa, Chief Director in the COGTA Department, Gauteng Provincial Government. "For us, ICLEI is an inclusive vehicle for Africa's subnational governments of all tiers to work together to drive real change, to improve quality of life and build a sustainable future for our children."
In geographical area, Gauteng may be the smallest province in South Africa, but it is home to almost a quarter of the country's population, and generates roughly a third of its gross domestic product (GDP). This metropolis's fast-growing population is young and vibrant, bringing together a wide range of languages, cultures and economic backgrounds. The name "Gauteng" ("place of gold" in the Sotho language) is a reference to the region's gold mining history. The modern Gauteng Province however, has a diverse economy and serves, for many travellers and international organisations, as a gateway to Africa.
The Province is divided into three Metropolitan Municipalities – the Cities of Tshwane, Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni – and two District Municipalities – Sedibeng and West Rand. The District Municipalities in turn include several Local Municipalities – namely Emfuleni, Lesedi, Midvaal, Merafong, Mogale City, Randfontein and Westonaria.
The Province is also active in the sustainability arena. The influential Gauteng Provincial Environmental Management Framework (GPEMF), which is produced and regularly updated by the Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (GDARD), replaced the many other environmental management frameworks in the province, in order to guide and direct the planning and land use management, and ensure that it incorporates principles of sustainability. Crucially, it has contributed to streamlining the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process, so that it remains effective but does not constrain development in general. Informed by the Province's biennial Quality of Life surveys, Gauteng has moved rapidly on promoting water conservation, such as supporting rainwater tanks at schools for the school food programme (implemented in over 600 schools). It has also worked on ecosystem rehabilitation (especially wetlands) and on mainstreaming climate change into provincial programmes. Another of Gauteng's focus areas is encouraging the green economy through waste recycling projects, which create jobs while reducing pressure on landfill sites.
Gauteng's links with ICLEI go back many years. Several of the Municipalities within Gauteng, such as the Cities of Ekurhuleni, Johannesburg and Tshwane – all three Metropolitan municipalities – are ICLEI members. Sedibeng District, a large Gauteng Municipality that encompasses several other (Local) Municipalities, is also a long-standing ICLEI member. Therefore, in the spirit of vertical integration, it is appropriate that the "golden" province itself is now joining more than 1 000 other cities, provinces, towns, villages and metropolises from around the globe, committed to building sustainable, resilient, low carbon and inclusive urban communities.
On behalf of its fellow African subnational governments, ICLEI Africa would like to extend a warm welcome to Gauteng Province!

Hillsborough hosts the third edition of the Bore Music Festival this weekend, with entertainment slated for Friday evening and throughout the day Saturday.
This year's festival lineup boasts a wide array of talent, from children's entertainer Fred Penner to Moncton native Jane Ehrhardt, from singer-songwriter Don Brownrigg to roots-folk group Banded Stilts, and more.
The festival came together three years ago when organizer Kelly-Sue O'Connor was looking for ways to raise awareness of the Nature Trust of New Brunswick. Established in 1987, the Nature Trust is a non-profit, charitable land-trust organization dedicated to land conservation throughout the province while also advocating environmental stewardship and education.
Kelly's involvement with the Nature Trust dates back almost four years. Kelly felt the organization would be a good beneficiary of funds raised by the Bore Music Festival.
While summer music festivals are an annual rite of passage all over the world, they are typically held in the major cities of any given region. The fact that the Bore Music Festival calls Hillsborough home was a deliberate move on Kelly's part.
Asked if holding the festival in a smaller community has posed any logistical challenges, Kelly says that they have been few and far between.
This year's edition of the Bore Music Festival will be the biggest to date, with Kelly choosing to expand the former single-day event to two days. The festival kicks off on Friday evening with an intimate singer-songwriter concert at Hillsborough's St. Mary's Anglican Church.
The church, completed in 1889, seats approximately 60 people but boasts acoustics that will complement the songs performed by Jane Ehrhardt, Morgan MacDonald, Carly Maicher and Willie Stratton.
Saturday the festival moves to Kiwanis Ballfield for a family-friendly lineup. The event includes face painting and bouncy castles for children while a host of food trucks will help keep festival attendees fed.
The day will be headlined by children's entertainer Fred Penner, who is scheduled to perform in the mid-afternoon. As the first children's entertainer to headline at the Los Angeles Amphitheatre, the two-time Juno Award winning performer saw his show Fred Penner's Place run for 12 seasons and nearly 900 episodes.
When: Friday July 11, 6 p.m.

Character: Andre Baker
Andre Baker
Jack Bandit
Baker Man
Black/Chernarussian
Broad shoulder, muscular build
Chaotic Good
Andre was a product of a one night stand because a visiting Chernarussian businessman and a flight attendant. He was an only child being raised by a his mother, his father having returned to Chernarus before Andre was born. Growing on in the streets of Detroit was hard for Andre, often he was teased because of his heritage being called a "half breed" by black and white kids alike. When Andre was in high school, he was a loner but a smart one at that, graduating with honors in all of his classes. Yet that feeling of success was bittersweet, as Andre always had the feeling that he was alone in this world and that feeling really set in when his mother died two years later from complications of pneumonia.
Having gone on to college, Andre studied in communications in broadcasting having achieved success but yet that still wasn't enough. Andre had to know who his father was, what he looked like, what he sounded like. All Andre knew was his name was Alexander Chernov and that he lived in Chernarus. So he worked some odd jobs here and there and saved up some money to take a trip to Chernarus, focused on finding his father no matter what obstacles awaited him. Staying in a hotel in Chernogorsk, the lands had been hit by some sort of epidemic, something about the walking dead or maybe these people were sick, no one knew at the time. And then the hotel he was staying in was obliterated by a crashing plane, most of the people barely made it out with there lives, Andre being on of them. That's when the realization set in, this was some sort of outbreak....some sort of world ending event and the survival of the human race was at hand.
699 days later, Andre has seen people that he had become close with die at the hands of those thing, he's seen people die at the hands of other people. The world we once knew was something else now, it wasn't ours anymore, it was those things...those zeds, and it was truly about survival now by any means necessary.
