50 Years And More Of The Pirelli Calendar
Year after year, the Pirelli Calendar is filled with gorgeous, half-naked women photographed by famous photographers.

In order to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the legendary calendar, Taschen is releasing Pirelli – The Calendar. 50 Years and More. The new coffee table book is intro'd by writer, art dealer and art historian Philipe Daverio and includes rare and never-before-seen behind-the-scenes imagery, a selection of "censored" images and full reproductions of all of the calendars including the unpublished 1963 calendar. At almost 600 pages, it's the perfect addition to any coffee table.

Nītārtha, Neyārtha, and Tathāgatagarbha in Tibet
< Articles(Redirected from ''Nītārtha'', ''Neyārtha'', and ''Tathāgatagarbha'' in Tibet)
LibraryArticlesNītārtha, Neyārtha, and Tathāgatagarbha in Tibet
Lipman, Kennard. "Nītārtha, Neyārtha, and Tathāgatagarbha in Tibet." Journal of Indian Philosophy 8, no. 1 (1980): 87–95.
D. S. Ruegg, in his La Théorie du Tathāgatagarbha et du Gotra and other works,1 has mentioned the need for further study of the various Tibetan exegetical traditions involved in the controversies surrounding the tathāgata-garbha doctrine. He has relied extensively on the exegesis developed by dGe lugs-pa scholars. This paper is an initial attempt to address this need voiced by Ruegg, by presenting the views of a bKa'-brgyud-pa and two rNying-ma-pa scholars. In particular, the focus will be on elucidating how they applied the interpretive devices of nītārtha (nges-don, certain, definitive meaning) and neyārtha (drang-don, indirect meaning which is to be established) to texts dealing with the tathāgatagarbha.2 One of the basic philosophical problems the Tibetans faced in this regard was the relationship between the concepts of sûnyatā and tathāgatagarbha emphasized in the second and third "turnings of the wheel of Dharma" (dharmacakra-pravartana) respectively.
Kennard Lipman
The doctrine of buddha-nature in Tibetan Buddhism
tathāgatagarbha
nītārtha - Refers to a teaching that is literally true. Skt. नीतार्थ Tib. ངེས་དོན་
neyārtha - Refers to something that is taught for a specific reason, rather than because it is entirely true. Skt. नेयार्थ Tib. དྲང་དོན་
tathāgatagarbha - Buddha-nature, literally the "womb/essence of those who have gone (to suchness)." Skt. तथागतगर्भ Tib. དེ་བཞིན་གཤེགས་པའི་སྙིང་པོ་ Ch. 如来藏
gotra - Disposition, lineage, or class; an individual's gotra determines the type of enlightenment one is destined to attain. Skt. गोत्र Tib. རིགས་ Ch. 鍾姓,種性
tridharmacakrapravartana - Three successive stages of the Buddhist teachings. Though they are traditionally attributed to the historical Buddha, modern scholarship tends to view them as developmental stages that occurred over the course of an extended period of time, with interludes of several centuries, in which we see major doctrinal shifts often based on seemingly newly emergent scriptural sources. Skt. त्रिधर्मचक्रप्रवर्तन Tib. ཆོས་འཁོར་རིམ་པ་གསུམ་

In pictures: Pantelleria – the island of capers
Great Italian Chefs 07 April 2016
The best capers in the world come from Pantelleria, a small, remote Italian island far off the Sicilian coast. Find out why and see the beauty of the island for yourself in our photo story.

The remote, windswept island of Pantelleria sits halfway between Sicily and Tunisia. With year-round blazing sunshine, beautiful views and a relaxed, easy-going way of life, it's easy to see why the island is a favourite getaway for celebrities like Giorgio Armani and Madonna. But for the foodies of the world, it isn't the peace and quiet that makes it such a magical place – it's the capers, found growing from every nook and cranny of the island, that make the six-hour boat trip worthwhile.
La Nicchia is the company responsible for keeping the island's caper industry (which, along with the vineyards and tourism, form the backbone of Pantelleria's entire economy) alive. It has been exporting capers grown by local farmers since 1949, and in 2005 began growing its own, taking full control of the whole process from seed to jar. Manager Gabriele Lasagni's extensive research has led to new products such as caper powder, crispy capers and caper leaves in olive oil. He believes no part of the plant should be wasted, and that Pantelleria offers the perfect conditions for growing and harvesting capers.
'Over the centuries, the island has naturally become home to a specific caper plant (Capparis Spinosa) that, unlike other varieties, has a few more leaves that wrap around the petals of the flower when they're still buds,' says Gabriele. 'These two small leaves protect the bud, meaning the capers are more consistent in quality and flavour.'
Caper plants grow all over Pantelleria, making it one of the small island's most important exports
The volcanic soil results in a sweeter flavour, while the hot days and cold nights increase aroma
Capers have to be harvested by hand early in the morning or late at night – it's too hot in the middle of the day to work outside
The island is also in the middle of the ocean – 100km away from Sicily – which results in blisteringly hot days and very cold nights. This helps the caper plants develop a stronger aroma, so they're more fragrant when picked. 'It's not easy to live in Pantelleria – there are incredible views and the weather is lovely but there's not much for young people to do,' says Gabriele. 'It's a small island of 8,000 people and far away from everything – you have to take a plane or ship for six hours to get to Sicily. We call it the 'Island of the Wind' because it's incredibly windy here and things get blown away all the time, but there is a cinema, some restaurants, a library and a hospital.'
Caper plants are harvested up to fourteen times a year, before being stored in salt
Fresh capers are incredibly sour and bitter, but once salt is added, the flavour mellows and develops a unique tang
Traditionally, the inhabitants of Pantelleria would use a blowpipe to shoot caper plant seeds into the crevices of walls, houses and roof tiles
Capers are the flower buds of the caper plant, picked before they fully bloom. If they're left to continue growing, they'll blossom into bright white and purple flowers
Traditionally, there was a severe lack of fresh water on Pantelleria. This meant capers were always stored in sea salt – produced in the Sicilian city of Trapani – instead of brine, which is the most common way of pickling capers. The moisture from the buds eventually created a pickling liquor, making Pantelleria capers stronger in flavour.
Pantelleria is 100km away from Sicily and it takes six hours to reach the island by plane or boat
Storing the capers in local sea salt draws out their moisture, creating a briny liquid perfect for pickling
Once left to age in salt, the capers are packed into jars and ready for sale
Pantelleria capers are famous across Italy for their incredibly sweet, aromatic taste
Harvesting the capers is tough work – you can't use machinery, so the buds have to be hand-picked one at a time. 'You have to be a true hero to work on Pantelleria,' says Gabriele. 'The island has always been an island of farmers, not fishermen, because it was always being invaded. This meant the inhabitants never settled on the coastline, preferring the shelter of the hills instead. We harvest roughly fourteen times every year, taking the same plant's capers every eight days or so. The plants' twigs lengthen from May to August and you can find the capers on top.
Caperberries are the fruit of the caper plant, and appear after the caper buds have been picked
They're often served in oil as an antipasti throughout Italy
'On an average day, I leave the house at 4.30am when it's still dark and make my way through the countryside to where we grow our capers,' he continues. 'The harvest starts at around five and lasts until ten o'clock. It's too hot after that time and since the plants soften in the heat, I run the risk of breaking the twigs. I then return to the field and continue picking between 5pm and 8pm.'

« Knocking four past Leicester in 1984. Watch the video
Arsenal on this day, and one of the all time magic goals »
Video of the first Arsenal match with Mr Wenger in charge at the game
Mr Wenger had been overseeing Arsenal from Japan until this point, but now he turned up to watch a game for the first time.
https://www.premierleague.com/video/single/1412121
We publish a new Arsenal match video each day with the anniversary list. There is a list of our anniversaries for this day below.
12 October 1893: Arsenal beat London Caledonians in a friendly 10-3 with the Chairman of Woolwich Arsenal Jack Humble in the side. Although Humble was highly rated as an administrator of the club and became a central part in the financial rescue of Arsenal in 1910 he was not rated on the pitch either as a player or a referee.
12 October 1884: Jock Rutherford was born. He won three league titles and an FA Cup winners medal with Newcastle, before moving to Arsenal in 1906.
12 October 1912: Arsenal 0 Chelsea 1 in front of 20,000. The result left Arsenal with only one win from the first eight, and the press report made particular mention of the jubilation of the visiting fans. But it was Arsenal who now started a run of 23 without a win. It was the first time Chelsea had beaten Arsenal since the very first match between the two.
12 October 1915: Patriotic fever grew as the news was released that British nurse Edith Cavell had been executed by a German firing squad for helping British soldiers escape from Belgium.
12 October 1918: With German forces in retreat US President Woodrow Wilson, began his efforts to broker a ceasefire in World War 1.
12 October 1919: Arsenal had an attendance of 30,000 for the game against Tottenham – the first post-war attendance to reach this figure.
12 October 1923: The Arsenal squad, manager and directors, went to the Alhambra theatre, in Charing Cross Road for a special showing of a movie which contained footage of Arsenal playing a match. The story got large press coverage and Arsenal were portrayed as the team of today's new technology. A clever, piece of PR from Sir Henry Norris who believed that the way to financial stability was constant publicity.
12 October 1925: Arsenal beat Fulham in the London FA Challenge Cup 4-0 with 3897 in the crowd at Highbury. This was the first game with Bob John playing at left back. While Male is the example of Chapman changing a player's position most commonly quoted, John was the first such experiment, and a friendly on 14 October was also arranged to test this further.
12 October 1935 Don Howe born; one of the men who both played for Arsenal and managed the team.
12 October 1940: Dave Bacuzzi born in Islington. His Arsenal career took off with two promising seasons at right back, before he moved back to the Reserves with whom he won the Combination.
12 October 1940: Tottenham 2 Arsenal 3 in the South Regional (wartime) League. It meant Arsenal had now scored 29 goals in seven games.
12 October 1946: Arsenal drew 2-2 with Brentford. This meant that with 10 games played in the first post-war league season, Arsenal had won just two, lost six and drawn two.
12 October 1953: Arsenal 3 Blackpool 1 at Highbury in the Charity Shield – making it the 7th time Arsenal had won the trophy. It was however Arsenal's last appearance in the Shield until 11 August 1979 (they didn't play the 1971 game).
12 October 1965: Arsenal played Israel in a friendly. The result was a 2-2 draw.
12 October 1974: Having played 10 of the 12 opening games of the season John Matthews was made the fall guy for poor results and was dropped. The result was Arsenal 2 Queen's Park Rangers 2, with a crowd of 29,690. Arsenal rose one place off the very foot of the table through this draw. See also here
12 October 1994: Northampton's three sided ground was closed after this final match; with their new ground ultimately incorporating the Dave Bowen stand, named after the ex-Arsenal player who became the most successful Northampton manager in the club's history.
12 October 1996: Arsène Wenger's first match, a 0-2 victory at Blackburn. Up to this moment he had been seeing out his contract in Japan. Ian Wright scored the first Wenger goal.
12 October 1999: Only 15,239 turn up for the league cup game v Preston. Arsenal won 2-1. Kanu and Malz scored.


The "Land of Smiles" is frowning a bit too much for comfort these days.
On the surface, Thailand's economy is holding its own. It grew 3.2% in the first quarter from a year earlier. Below it, the dynamics driving growth - a public-spending binge - mask the air of disapproval consuming the masses. As incomes stagnate and output lags Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines, Bangkok's military leaders look perilously out of their depth.
That's not the impression you get listening to Bank of Thailand Governor Veerathai Santiprabhob, who I bumped into last week at a EuroMoney investment forum in Bangkok. You tend to expect the official party line from a central banker appointed by a military junta. And Veerathai sure did accentuate the positive. "In the big picture," he said, "we don't have to be concerned about global economic volatility because we have better buffers than other emerging markets," including low foreign-currency debt levels.
This last point is somewhat fair. It was a bubble in overseas debt that precipitated the 1997 Asian crisis, which began in Bangkok in July of that year. Today, Thailand faces a different economic crisis, but one just as dangerous in the long run: complacency.
As Veerathai tells overseas investors to smile and see the Thai sunshine, the junta is ignoring the structural problems festering even before they grabbed power in May 2014. They're doing little to address the headwinds holding back competiveness, productivity, industrial capacity, state-own-enterprise inefficiency and education or eradicate corruption. The junta's obsession with curbing dissent is colliding with a darkening global economy, evidenced by the 8% plunge in exports in April. The 15% drop in imports speaks to the sluggishness of domestic demand and the frowns on the faces of many of Thailand's 67 million people.
Things are about to get worse as the all-important tourism sector slows with global growth, particularly as China loses altitude. Government pump-priming is easing the pain, but masking the depth of problems imperiling Thailand's future. As neighboring Indonesia and the Philippines raise their manufacturing games, they're vying for the automotive factories creating so many good-paying Thai jobs. So is Narendra Modi's India. Complacency in Bangkok gives the Toyota's and Honda's that make Thailand the "Detroit of Asia" incentives to hedge their bets on a place that's the economic equivalent of a stopped watch.
Since September, Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-Ocha unleashed more than $18 billion worth of short-term stimulus to shore up local demand. The central bank has left benchmark interest rates unchanged for the last eight policy meetings to support credit. But none of these efforts is creating new growth drivers, loads of new jobs or ensuring Thailand will keep its advantages in key sectors like autos.
It's troubling, for example, to hear Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak effectively declare victory, saying the first quarter was "good news, and will be a turning point for confidence toward Thailand. This will show that the Thai economy has recovered." Never mind that Thailand is lagging the Philippines (6.9% in the first quarter), Indonesia (4.9%) and even political-scandal-plagued Malaysia (4.2%). Or that Somkid was finance minister under populist leader Thaksin Shinawatra, whose regime was ousted in a 2006 coup amid corruption charges. Somkid resurrected many of Thaksin's discredited ideas, like lavishing state funds on rural areas to win support.
All this military-government largess is fine for 2016 growth, but come 2020, Thailand could be an also-ran in a region it once dazzled. That was the striking thing about last week's EuroMoney Greater Mekong Investment Forum. In year's past, this annual event drawing more than 900 attendees was a Thailand lovefest. The focus was always on how Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam needed to learn from Thailand's successes - its thriving banking system, political stability and Internet penetration.
But this year, there was far more discussion of opportunities elsewhere. Kamalkant Agarwal, head of Siam Commercial Bank's international operations, for example, told me how the nation's third-largest lender is increasingly looking abroad for growth. During the digital economy panel I moderated, talk quickly trailed off to Indonesia, which is in the throes of nascent startup boom. "We see lots of energy and opportunity there," said Paul Srivorakul of Ardent Capital, one of Bangkok's go-to mentors for entrepreneurs.
On the sidelines, when I probed government officials, businesspeople and bankers about the Mekong region, Vietnam was all anyone could talk about. Might U.S. President Barack Obama's visit days earlier drive a new investment boom there? Thailand has wallowed in cautionary-tale territory for years now. If the junta doesn't tend to economic upgrades, the talk may be of Thailand-passing - as in bypassing it altogether.
China's slowdown raises the stakes. The downshift there, or even the "L-shaped recovery" Bangkok Bank China Chief Executive Officer Suwatchai Songwanich expects, is dreadful news for Thai resort owners, manufacturers and national government coffers alike.
Post-Thaksin-era Thailand is a disorienting place. The level of press freedom, degree of military involvement in the economy and basic dos-and-don'ts for Thais or visitors is a moving target. But when generals commandeer a nation, it's best to have a plan. If two years on, Prayuth and his men have one, it's high time they implemented it. After all, "Land of Frowns" has a rather unfortunate ring to it.

Q: Angular $scope not updating in view I have tried so many answers to this question, but nothing works.
The bug: Right now when the total data items added meets the item requirement, the item is removed from the list, but the list isn't refreshing the view with the item removed in the select dropdown or child list.
I assume there is something specific to my code, so I've recreated my functionality here:

var app = angular.module('plunker', []);

app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, filterFilter) {

  Array.prototype.sum = function(prop) {
    var ptotal = 0
    for (var i = 0, _len = this.length; i < _len; i++) {
      ptotal += this[i][prop]
    }
    return ptotal
  }

  $scope.owners = [{
    "id": "1",
    "name": "parent 1"
  }, {
    "id": "2",
    "name": "parent 2"
  }];

  $scope.children = [{
    "id": "1",
    "total": "2",
    "owner": "1",
    "name": "child 1"
  }, {
    "id": "2",
    "total": "2",
    "owner": "2",
    "name": "child 2"
  }, {
    "id": "3",
    "total": "1",
    "owner": "2",
    "name": "child 3"
  }];

  var random = Math.floor(Math.random() * $scope.owners.length);
  $scope.selectedOwner = $scope.owners[random];
  $scope.childrenList = $scope.children.filter(function(x) {
    return x.owner == $scope.selectedOwner.id;
  });

  $scope.remove = function(child) {

  }

  $scope.ownerChange = function(owner) {
    $scope.selectedOwner = owner;
    $scope.childrenList = $scope.children.filter(function(x) {
      return owner.id == $scope.selectedOwner.id;
    });
  }

  $scope.data = [];

  $scope.add = function(child) {
    $scope.totalInit = filterFilter($scope.children, {
      id: child.id
    });
    var total = $scope.totalInit.sum("number");
    var complete = filterFilter($scope.data, {
      id: +child.id
    }).length;
    var number = +complete + 1;
    var input = {
      "id": child.id,
      "name": child.name,
      "number": number
    };
    if (+number >= +child.total) {
      $scope.children = $scope.children.filter(function(x) {
        return x.id != child.id;
      });
      $scope.ownerStatus = filterFilter($scope.data, {
        id: child.id
      }).length;
      if ($scope.ownerStatus === 0) {
        $scope.owners = $scope.owners.filter(function(x) {
          return x.id != child.owner;
        });
      }
    }
    $scope.data.push(input);

  };

});

The bug: Right now when the total data items added meets the item requirement, the item is removed from the list, but the list isn't refreshing the view with the item removed in the select dropdown or child list.

---------------------------------------------------------

  Select Owner:
  <select ng-options="o.name for o in owners track by o.id" ng-model="selectedOwner" ng-change="ownerChange(selectedOwner)">
  </select>

{{c.name}}
      <button ng-click="add(c)">Add</button>

  Data:

{{d.name}}
      <button ng-click="data.splice($index, 1)">Remove</button>

A: I just figured this out myself. I needed to call the list filter again after the $scope change to update the lists. Here is the updated code:

var app = angular.module('plunker', []);

app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, filterFilter, $timeout) {

  Array.prototype.sum = function(prop) {
    var ptotal = 0
    for (var i = 0, _len = this.length; i < _len; i++) {
      ptotal += this[i][prop]
    }
    return ptotal
  }

  $scope.owners = [{
    "id": "1",
    "name": "parent 1"
  }, {
    "id": "2",
    "name": "parent 2"
  }, {
    "id": "3",
    "name": "parent 3"
  }];

  $scope.children = [{
    "id": "1",
    "total": "2",
    "owner": "1",
    "name": "child 1"
  }, {
    "id": "2",
    "total": "2",
    "owner": "2",
    "name": "child 2"
  }, {
    "id": "3",
    "total": "1",
    "owner": "2",
    "name": "child 3"
  }, {
    "id": "4",
    "total": "5",
    "owner": "3",
    "name": "child 4"
  }, {
    "id": "5",
    "total": "2",
    "owner": "1",
    "name": "child 5"
  }];

  //  var uTotal = $scope.children.sum("total");

  var random = Math.floor(Math.random() * $scope.owners.length);
  $scope.selectedOwner = $scope.owners[random];
  $scope.childrenList = $scope.children.filter(function(x) {
    return x.owner == $scope.selectedOwner.id;
  });

  $scope.ownerChange = function(owner) {
    $scope.selectedOwner = owner;
    $scope.childrenList = $scope.children.filter(function(x) {
      return x.owner == $scope.selectedOwner.id;
    });
  }

  $scope.data = [];

  $scope.remove = function(child) {
    for (var i3 = $scope.data.length - 1; i3 >= 0; i3--) {
      if ($scope.data[i3].number == child.number && $scope.data[i3].id == child.id) {
        $scope.data.splice(i3, 1);
      }
    }
  }

  $scope.add = function(child) {
    $scope.totalInit = filterFilter($scope.children, {
      owner: child.owner
    });
    var total = $scope.totalInit.sum("total");
    var complete = filterFilter($scope.data, {

    }).length;
    var number = +complete + 1;
    var input = {

Mountain Meadows Golf Course offers virtually "no wait" golfing at very affordable rates. Nestled between snow capped peaks, Rocky Mountain splendor surrounds you at each one of its nine holes. Motorized golf carts are available. Playing at Mountain Meadows executive nine hole course offers everything a golfer wants to contend with – long drives, fairly short rough, good greens that run true, bunkers, a continuous flow of spring water that comes into play, trees that present problems and two sets of tee markers. The course is well groomed, well respected and includes a driving range. A licensed restaurant and pro shop is also waiting to serve you in the clubhouse.
The Elkford Aquatic complex has 4 lanes for competition swimming and a kids wading pool, diving board, slide, whirlpool hot tub and a sauna, sure to keep any family busy for hours. While relaxing in the whirlpool hot tub you can take in the breathtaking mountain scenery through large picture windows.
If you are tired of long lines and outrageous lift prices, the Wapiti Ski Hill is the place for you!
This family oriented, natural snow ski hill is run completely by volunteers, including the highly trained ski patrol. The "Moose Caboose" T-bar takes skiers up approximately 1,000 vertical feet where a skier can choose from 7 runs as well as other trail systems, ranging from beginner to expert. The season usually opens in late December and runs through early April (snow conditions permitting). A day lodge, ski rental shop and concession are conveniently located on the mountain base. Ski lessons can also be arranged with a qualified instructor. Lighting on the two main runs makes night skiing possible Tuesday through Friday from 7 PM to 9:30 PM. All runs are open for daytime skiing on Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 4 PM.
All children under 6 years of age and all skiers over 60 years of age SKI FREE. (See the Manager for free tickets).
Elkford's own Snowmobile Association has developed and identified an extensive network of trails enabling riders to explore the Elk Valley. Many of the trails travel throughout large mountain basins, high mountain passes and through beautiful valleys – all providing spectacular riding opportunities. Elkford is fortunate to have access trails marked and approved by the RCMP and the District of Elkford that allow riders to leave their home or hotel, stop for gas and then head out of town for a day full of exiting riding!
Cross-country skiers will delight in Elkford's groomed trails. Beginning downtown, or from the parking lot by the ski hill, the groomed trails follow Boivin Creek 7 kms up to the skiers cabin. Here skiers can relax while roasting hot dogs over an open fire.
Within walking distance of the Escape Away condos is the magnificent and untouched Elk River. Largely undiscovered yet only a three hour drive from Calgary the novice or expert will enjoy the ample trout population. Winding its way through the mountains over a freestone bed, the Elk River features countless braided channels, gravel riffles and pools teeming with catchable trout. The amount of cutthroat trout has prompted angling author John Gierach to proclaim the Elk River as one of the best cutthroat fishing streams on the continent. Three, four and five pound rods are ideal for the Elk River where winds are not as strong as elsewhere in the Rockies. On those rare occasions when the trout aren't responding to dry flies, fishing with weighted nymphs and streamers are the way to go.


When Linus Torvalds gets involved, the world usually listens. The Linux world, at least.
So when companies in Australia began to apply the term "Linux" willy-nilly to mean something completely different to what the rest of the world means by "Linux," and even started trademarking company names including the word, the non-profit organization Down Under devoted to keeping open-source Linux sacrosanct, Linux Australia, turned to the man who in fact has the unique rights to the term "Linux" worldwide, the Father of Linux himself.
Specifically a private company called "Linux Australia Pty Ltd." last year lodged an official trademark application its name with IP Australia. It has not yet been approved, though.
Torvalds should have no difficulty, experts say, demonstrating that his use of the word "Linux" has continued for longer than any of the competing would-be Australian trademarks seeking to bear the name.
Torvalds has defended his common-law rights to "Linux" before, back in 1996/7 after a gentleman by the name of William R. Della Croce, Jr. from the Boston area, registered it as a trademark in order to extract 10 percent royalties on sales from businesses marketing Linux products.
"LINUX is a registered trademark of Linus Torvalds."

For me, and many writers I know, it simply works better to find some time to write very day, or as close to it as possible. The reasons are many, but mostly boil down to one word: momentum. Like the proverbial rock rolling down a hill and going faster and faster, your writing will gather speed if you attend to it regularly. If you don't, there's a lot of time wasted on catch-up, such as trying to remember what the last name of your character is, or in what chapter the murder occurred. Things like that.
But recently I found some notes from an old MFA lecture (I'm doing a massive purge of papers in my office). The topic of said lecture was when to write and when to not write. I was shocked at the not writing part. But then I remembered a conversation I had recently with my friend and fellow novel goddess Katy, and she said that she goes long stretches without writing. The nature of her job (for the above-mentioned MFA program) is such that it is difficult to commit to writing on a regular basis. What she does is go off on intensive week-long writing retreats in which she accomplishes huge spurts of writing.
So I've been wondering about the whole not writing thing. I am always afraid that if I don't write, maybe one of these days I simply won't return to it, which is not bloody likely considering it is the single most consistent obsession of my life. But still, these things I fear do stop me.
Anyone care to make a better case for not writing than I have?
I seem to go for sometimes two weeks before I can get anything written, not because I don't want to write, but have to many other demands. It's hard to committ to write at a certain day or time. How do you turn off all the other worries, to do's and clear your mind to write? Would you address this in a post, please Charlotte?
Sometimes the well goes dry, and time away from writing and into living is necessary. Think of your creativity like a field. If you don't let it go fallow now and then, it will begin to produce inferior crops until one day, it is so depleted, it can't provide the necessary nutrients to grow anything. Not writing for long stretches can give you time to think in different directions, resulting in even more creative juice, too.
I can't figure out any reason why NOT to write, unless it is a pure practical situation where you can't hold a pen and paper right at the moment.
Even if it is not writing on THE script/novel/what ever writing is important to do and personally I can't find any reason NOT to write. It is what I do. It is what I am.
I write both for my job and for pleasure, but I try to avoid writing on Sundays. This makes Monday morning extra-productive.

by bcse | Jan 13, 2014 | MidEast
Editor's Note – Paging John Kerry, paging Secretary of State John Kerry…there is an urgent call awaiting you. That call is a call to reality!
You sir need to read history, read the laws of all involved, and have a reality check/intervention performed upon for you. Shouldn't the Secretary of State be briefed on such things, or do they just wish to ignore them because these details do not fit their designs – debasing and diminishing Israel – isn't it obvious?
By the way John, 'Palestine' is a fictitious name and there is no such race, creed, or nationality. (Read more about the history of the so-called name 'Palestine' here entitled "Palestine: History of a Name" which is a rebuttal to Reza Aslan's "Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth".)
As we have mentioned many times in recent weeks, John Kerry and Obama are forcing Israel into an untenable position in the so-called "peace negotiations" with the 'Palestinians' at a time when there are much more important issues facing the Israelis and our own National Security. Syria, Iran, Southern Sudan, Hezbollah, al Qaeda, Benghazi come to mind along with our own crashing domestic state.
Yet, John Kerry and the "Israeli-Haters Club" make this a priority, while ignoring certain facts pertaining to the so-called 'peace-talks' that is the latest instance that proves the Einstein definition of insanity!
PHILISTIA IN THE TIME OF JESUS (4 B.C. – 30 A.D.) but there was never a "Nation of Palestine" as Islamists and leftists want us to believe. In reality, Palestine was an ancient name for a vague geographic region of Israel or Terra Sancta ruled either by Jews or Christians. No "Palestinian Arab people" existed until 1920, when the British occupying force carved out a "Palestine." (Map via the Library of Congress)
Under Palestinian law, if Abbas signs a peace agreement with Israel he would be subject to the death penalty
By Elder of Zyon
I've discussed how central the bogus "right of return" is to Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian Arab leadership, and how the West ignores this fact. Mahmoud Abbas and the entire Palestinian Arab leadership (not to mention their friends in the anti-Israel community) have turned this fake "right" into a key component of their demands for any "peace" agreement – and have elevated this demand to damn thousands of Syrians to death.
Palestinian Arabs make no secret that the purpose of this "right" is to destroy the Jewish state demographically, and this is exactly why they refuse to recognize that Israel is in fact the Jewish state. The end game is to create three or four Palestinian states – in Jordan, which is majority Palestinian; in the West Bank, possibly in Gaza and (of course) in Israel.
It turns out that Abbas signed a law in 2008 to enshrine this "right" to destroy Israel in PA law. Not only that, but this law ensures that any agreement that modifies this "right" is null and void, and high treason.
Under PLO law, if Mahmoud Abbas signs a peace treaty with Israel that doesn't pave the way for the destruction of Israel, he is guilty of high treason and is subject to the death penalty.
Western diplomats who think that there is a possibility of peace with the PLO must read this.
Here is the bulk of the law:
The law of the right of return for Palestinian refugees No. (1) for the year 2008
The right of return for Palestinian refugees to their homes and property and compensation for their suffering is a sacred and inalienable right that cannot compromised or exchanged; it is beyond the scope of jurisprudence or interpretation or referendum.
The right of return is the natural individual and collective civil and political right that moves from parents to children and does not disappear over time, by the signing of any agreement, and it may not be disposed of or waived in any way.
The Zionist occupation bears full responsibility for the political, legal and humanitarian and moral suffering of the Palestinian people and the non-recognition of the right to self-determination. Britain bears historical responsibility for the suffering of the Palestinian people. The international community bears full responsibility to lift and remove the suffering of the Palestinian people.
The Palestinians have the right to sue the Zionist occupation for their suffering caused to the Palestinian people and their demands for compensation for damage to their emotional or material damage.
Resettlement of Palestinian refugees may not be a substitute for the right of return.
Anyone who violates the provisions of this Act shall be guilty of the crime of high treason against him and subject to all criminal and civil penalties prescribed for this crime.
Anything that is contrary to the provisions of this law is canceled, null and void and any legislation or agreement that detracts from the right of return violates the provisions of this law.
Issued on: 01/08/2008 AD
Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization
President of the Palestinian National Authority
Is that clear enough? Read more here on this law.
Mahmoud Abbas stands in from of a banner of the "State of Palestine" which has never existed except in the minds of the "Israel-Haters Club."

NJ Supreme Court Clarifies Jury Qualification Methods & Procedures
In October, the Jur-E Bulletin reported lawyers for defendant Wildemar Dangcil filed an emergency appeal during jury selection claiming that many of the 800 summoned citizens were mysteriously eliminated from the jury pool before the day of trial resulting in an unrepresentative venire. The New Jersey State Bar Association filed an amicus brief expressing concern about another aspect of the jury selection system: the jury management office's unfettered discretion to grant or deny juror requests to excuse them from or defer service and the jury office's failure to collect and maintain records that "could have revealed whether the jurors who were excused consisted disproportionately of certain classes, and thus unfairly skewed the available jury pool towards an unrepresentative sample of the public." The intermediate appellate panel rejected the appeal, and the trial went forward. Dangcil was found guilty. Earlier this week, The New Jersey Supreme Court issued its opinion in State v. Dangcil again upholding the hybrid jury selection process adopted during COVID-19 and holding that the pre-voir dire disqualification, excusal, or deferral of jurors is not a stage at which defendant is entitled to be present or be represented, and that defendant failed to support his representative-cross-section claim. In recognition of the important issues raised, but not nearly substantiated, in the appeal and to better assist New Jersey courts in preventing potential underrepresentation and irregularities stemming from the hybrid process and other facially neutral selection procedures, the Court directed the Administrative Office of the Courts to begin collecting jurors' demographic information.
"Vax-or-Test Rules Gain Traction in Some Federal Courts. Will Others Follow?"
That's the title of a piece in Law 360 (subscription needed) charting how federal courts are increasingly implementing policies requiring staff to be vaccinated or submit to frequent testing. For example, the district court in Rhode Island issued a mandatory vaccine rule for staff in May. Thereafter, all 72 court employees received shots with one granted an accommodation. The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, for now, is leaving it up to individual courts to establish safety policies. A judicial-branch-wide policy is under consideration.
And in the state of Florida, the Daytona Beach News-Journal reports, in the face of a surge in COVID-19 infections, the chief judge of the 7th Judicial Circuit issued an order saying "physical distancing is mandated for all in-person court proceedings" and, when that's not possible, face masks are required during jury selection for everyone involved.
Chief Judge Praises Citizens Who Show Up for Jury Service During the Pandemic
Raul A. Zambrano, chief judge of Florida's 7th Judicial Circuit, has written an op-ed in the Daytona Beach News-Journal extolling the citizens who are showing up "in droves" to serve on juries. A model effort worth repeating elsewhere?
Baltimore Courts Report on Number of Jury Trials Held Since April
CBS Baltimore says since jury trials resumed in April, Baltimore County has tried 10 murder cases and reached guilty pleas in 15 others.
Ex-Juror Claims Being Bullied — Convicted Alabama Sheriff Seeks New Trial
CBS News 19 in Alabama reports lawyers for former Limestone County sheriff Mike Blakely filed a motion for a mistrial (after being found guilty of theft and ethics violations) based on a juror's claim that she really wanted to vote to acquit him on some counts in the indictment. The motion was accompanied by an affidavit from Sue Pentecost, who claimed medical conditions forced her to vote with the rest of the jury in convicting Blakely. She claimed she gets "extremely lethargic and exhausted" because of her medical conditions, and she cast her vote for guilty because she wanted to get out of the room over fear of dying. She also claims other jurors attempted to bully her during deliberations.

Woman Wanted is a 1999 film directed by Kiefer Sutherland (later credited as Alan Smithee). It is based on a novel by Joanna Glass, who also wrote the screenplay. It stars Sutherland, Holly Hunter, Michael Moriarty, and Sutherland's mother, Shirley Douglas.

Premise
The story is about a woman (Holly Hunter) who works as a housekeeper for a widower (Michael Moriarty) and his adult son (Kiefer Sutherland).

Cast
 Kiefer Sutherland as Wendell Goddard
 Holly Hunter as Emma Riley
 Michael Moriarty as Richard Goddard
 Carrie Preston as Monica
 Allegra Fulton as Gracie
 Shirley Douglas as Peg
 Sean McCann as Kevin

Production
Woman Wanted was filmed in Winnipeg, Manitoba. One of the notable features of the film is that "Alan Smithee" is listed as one of the directors, meaning Sutherland effectively disowned the project. It was the last film to use the Alan Smithee credit, which was discontinued in 2000.

Reception
The film won Best Independent Feature Film at the Ajijic International Film Festival, as well as Best Feature Film at the Slamdunk Film Festival.

So who represented sumo ceremony at Nagano Winter Olympics? Btw why is everyone assuming Hakuho has a role in the Olympics?
Because he's been talking about having one since Tokyo was awarded the games.

No he was hoping to be asked. Btw, obviously you don't know that Akebono was the yokozuna that did a dohyo iri at the Nagano Olympics.

In his daily Chunichi sports column, Kitanofuji weighed in on yesterday's Hakuho bout. To say he wasn't a fan of Hakuho's approach is an understatement.
"I've got no interest in tomorrow's last match. I'm so mad I'm going to eat and go to bed."
I hope Kitanofuji did, so he didn't have to watch this ugly display of what sumo is not about.
All his previous achievements notwithstanding, Hakuho lost another fan today.

Congrats to Terunofuji for making it to Yokozuna, and for Hakuho, at least one Yusho in 16 CONSECUTIVE years? That's simply remarkable
The original director of opening and closing ceremonies was replaced. No one knows, other than people involved, know who will be in the ceremonies. It is supposed to be secret. It is assumed because it is Japan that sumo will have some role and it may do.

With the promotion of Terunofuji guaranteed, Isegahama will be able to perform his kanreki-dohyo-iri flanked by his two yokozuna disciples
5 minutes ago, Faustonowaka said:
Is that for sure? If his is an NSK-sanctioned kanreki held at the Kokugikan, I'm not sure what the prospects for Harumafuji coming back to be an attendant are, considering he's outside the sumo world (disgrace or not).
AFAIK only in private kanreki have non-oyakata or non-current yokozuna been attendants.
But yes, at the very least Terunofuji will be able to be an attendant at his ceremony.

I've found Hakuho tremendously entertaining this basho, if nothing else. It feels like it's been ages since he had this kind of boss presence.
I'm inclined to look at everything through rose-tinted glasses right now, because Ichinojo's coming back to sanyaku. Yay.
edit: Or not. Seiyashi's right. Takayasu had been looking good, I'd forgotten he was actually make-koshi.

Not confirmed. Only if Asanoyama is made S2e will Ichinojo return, as Meisei will then be S1w and there will be a free komusubi slot. If not, Mitakeumi and Asanoyama are next basho's sekiwake, and Takayasu and Meisei the komusubi.

That was possibly the most intense sumo bout I have ever seen and I freaking loved it. Hak reminded me of Ali when he fought Foreman in Zaire. Like Ali, Hak is genetically incapable of not doing everything allowable within the rules in order to win. His reaction afterwards, and that of his wife and kids, shows how losing is not in his DNA. He watched Terunofuji beat all comers for the past few basho and must have had his doubts whether he could beat him, so he went deep inside himself to find what he needed to get that win. The Greatest Of All Time. God I'm going to miss him when he has gone.

Is that Hakuho's wife and kids in the audience they keep focusing on? I thought at first they were Terunofuji supporters from the teariness but I could be wrong.
EDIT: Yes, they are - confirmed by the NHK broadcast, as well as the Hakuho towel waving. Previously only his wife, eldest son, and youngest daughter were shown, so it wasn't clear, but they later showed the whole family in the masu box (two, judging by the look of it).
The kids were in tears, the NHK yusho interview announcer mentioned them. Hakuho said he's happy his youngest daughter, 4years old, now realizes that her father is a real osumo-san.
Just a short mention: I'm a Hakuho fan since before his yokozuna promotion, when virtually everybody in the international sumo community thought he's no big deal and Asashoryu everything. The Hakuho bashing is about the same now as it was then, I don't care about the negative side, I always look at the good things. He's still the no.1 on my personal banzuke.

i'm going to be honest, the drama llama part of me kind of wants the ydc to vomit out some A class xenophobia and not recommend a teru yokozuna promotion because he didn't get the yusho, but that doesn't seem likely. however, the thought of the ensuing implosion gives me some pure masochistic pleasure.
1 hour ago, specialweek 2 said:
You asked why everyone is assuming Hakuho has a role in the upcoming Olympics, and he has expressed an interest in participating on numerous occasions since the Olympics were announced. Not sure why you're coping an attitude toward someone who was just trying to answer the question you asked.
And I also have no idea why you are assuming what I know about Akebono doing a dohyo iri at the Olympics when I made no comment about it either way, but for the record I watched him do it on TV when I was living in Japan so yes I am aware of it.

Congratulations to the GOAT. I don't care that it wasn't pretty, nor that Hakuho lost all hinkaku in the heat of the moment. 45th yusho and 16th zensho - wow!
And I really don't care about the harite, kachi-age, or the potentially injurious kotenage. Terunofuji regularly tries to hurt his aite with kimedashi, kimetaoshi, kotenage, etc. Getting a good dose of it himself is only just desserts.
Congratulations also to Terunofuji on earning his rope with a career best result of 14-1.

Please cease and desist with all discussions of what Hakuho's toe might or might not have done and Shodai's loss. It's not that we're against free speech and healthy speculation. It's just that certain compromises must be made for the sake of…the narrative. After all, where would we be without it?

Sumo is a very good thing.
2 hours ago, Seiyashi said:
But it does accelerate the mass of opinion as to "if he can't do honest straightforward sumo, he should go". Sumo is a sport, yes, but there's also a cultural backdrop to it which means it's not as accepting of "win at all costs" as other sports would be. It's really the violation of that unwritten consensus that sumo ought to be done a certain way that Hakuho is getting flak for, not so much the fact that he won the championship (again). The fact that he is at the tail end of his career adds the further stinger of "and if he can't do proper sumo then he should retire".
For a long while I was always happy to defend Hakuho against what I saw as mostly overblown criticism of minor incidents that started creeping into sumo fandom since circa 2015, and for sure I never expected back then that I would reach this point, but: I'm honestly looking forward to sumo without his antics now. I despised the whole "but he keeps winning, WTF else do you want" attitude brought by a vocal minority of fans during the Asashoryu days (most of whom promptly and thankfully stopped watching sumo after he was gone), and it's no better this time around.
My grandmother used to repeat the old adage: "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Perhaps that applies to Yokozuna and Dai-Yokozuna respectively. Hmmm.
28 minutes ago, Asashosakari said:
The way I look at it is, if that's what we can expect in every senshuraku face-off between Hakuho and Yokozuna Terunofuji hereafter, he should gracefully retire. I get why he did it – he wanted to win, and fair enough – but people will want and expect to see him go chest-to-chest with Terunofuji once the latter has the rope. If he can't, and today's performance suggests he doesn't feel confident himself that he can, then what's the point of carrying on? His legacy is set. We can ask no more of him than he's done. We're into diminishing returns territory now. Every extra yusho he wins matters less to his legacy than it used to. 45 is the same as 44. People aren't judging him on records anymore, but be sure plenty will privately dock him a few reputation points for every win they feel is beneath a man of his talent.

You chose to grab part of my response to a post by another poster I was explaining to that person and mixed in with your post. He has expressed a desire to play a role. No guaranty he will as I also explained the director was sacked and a new opening and closing ceremony director was appointed. My point is if he is in either opening or closing no one knows but organisers and participants.

I couldn't have put it better myself.
FWIW I thought he sort of reached that threshold of losing reputation with all his kyujo over his past year, but knowing his desire to reach the Olympics I've been willing to give him a pass on it. But I'll be joining the calls for his departure if he continues to give us this type of sumo in Aki.
I'm frankly surprised the comparisons with Kakuryu haven't yet been drawn. That man knew when to go, and arguably had to put off his retirement due to bureacracy out of his control rather than a desire to hang on.

Elaine Chao Has Formally Slammed Trump For His Frequent And Continued Racist Taunts Against Her
For months, Donald Trump has been calling one of his former employees racist things. That person is Elaine Chao, and she wasn't only the former president's secretary of transportation, who quit the day after the Jan. 6 riot. She's also married to Mitch McConnell, one of his many, many sworn enemies (though one definitely in the upper rung). Chao has refused to comment specifically on it, as racist taunts don't deserve added attention. But Trump's been dropping racist taunts so long she finally feels she has to say something.
Since October, Trump has taken to calling his former employee "Coco Chow." Sometimes he insinuates she's taking orders from China. (This is to say nothing of him still calling COVID the "China flu.") Last month, Chao sort of addressed Trump's continued racism, telling a CNN reporter that it's "helpful if the media does not repeat" his bigoted slurs. But in a statement to Politico, Chao decided to elaborate.
"When I was young, some people deliberately misspelled or mispronounced my name. Asian Americans have worked hard to change that experience for the next generation," Chao said. "He doesn't seem to understand that, which says a whole lot more about him than it will ever say about Asian Americans."
In the meantime, Meta is working on unbanning the racist ex-president from both Facebook and Instagram after some two years. Trump is planning on holding his first rally in ages this weekend, but his team has had a bear of a time finding significant GOP players to attend it. Being openly racist probably isn't helping, much less on top of all his other problems.

THE DRAMA WORKSHOP CONJURES UP BLITHE SPIRIT IN OCTOBER
The Drama Workshop, entertaining Westside audiences since 1954, invites everyone to get into the mood for Halloween by attending Blithe Spirt – Noel Coward's classic comedy that includes a medium, a séance and a mischievous ghost. Running, October 11 -27, performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m. with a special Thursday night performance on October 24 at 7:30 p.m. All performances are at The Glenmore Playhouse, 3716 Glenmore, Ave. Cheviot, OH 45211. Tickets are $18 if purchased online or by phone and $20 at the door. Tickets may be purchased by calling the TDW ticket line at 513-598-8303 or by ordering online at www.thedramaworshop.org.
Blithe Spirit premiered in London in 1941 and has entertained audiences around the world ever since. The play centers around writer Charles Condomine and his second wife, Ruth. Charles has invited a local medium to join them and their guests for dinner and a séance so that he can gather information for a novel he is writing about a clairvoyant. The medium, Madame Arcati seems a little inept at first, but does contact "the other side" and a spirit does appear. It's the ghost of Charles' first wife, Elvira. She's not happy Charles has remarried and has a plan to do something about it. The results of her meddling are a surprise to all.
Veteran director Gina Kleesattel is making her Drama Workshop debut with this production which stars Lon Nease and Elizabeth Beatty as Charles and Ruth Condomine. Betsy Bossart plays Elvira and Tory Pate plays Madame Arcati. Joe Ward and Rusty Lacy play Dr. and Mrs. Bradman, friends of the Condomines, and Lindsey Pullum rounds out the cast in the role of Edith, the Condomine's new maid.
Ms. Kleesattel is excited about directing this play which she feels "is just as amusing to audiences now as it was two decades ago. Noel Coward's wit and comic sophistication never goes out of style. And who doesn't enjoy seeing people (or a ghost!) get tripped up in their own schemes? It's a great evening of entertainment."
The production team for Blithe Spirit is led by producers Megan Schultheis and Clint Bramkamp. Josh Neumeyer is the stage manager. The setting and decor are designed by Dennis Murphy. The costumes are designed by Murphy and Karen Romero. Eric Bardes will design the lighting and Jason Cox the sound. Elaine Volker assembled the props. Bethany Davisson oversees the ghost's makeup and Manny Frias the wig design.
This play provides some bumps and screams and one or two moans but also a great deal of wit, sophistication and comedy that is sure to raise the spirits of an audience.
Don't miss TDW's Blithe Spirit or it may haunt you forever.

I recently went to "see a man about a dog," and that man was Max, channel manager for Bronto Europe and organiser of "Dog Day." When the initial announcement about the event came through to the office, I thought everyone had gone barking mad.
But on the highly anticipated "Dog Day," nobody was feeling melan-collie, and when it was time to open the labra-door, it was dogs galore!
The European team welcomed 4 dogs to our office: Olive, Dorothy, Bowser and Tilly. The group ranged in personality from a jumpy, excitable Labrador to a shy and relaxed Western Terrier.
Life Motto: I'm just walkin', struttin', havin' some fun, looking all cute and stuff.
Favourite thing about the office: There are so many people to meet and hang out with. I have to look my cutest so that I get lots of head strokes and belly rubs.
Life Motto: Stay quiet and observe from afar. If you wait, the people will come … for pats and treats!
Favourite thing about the office: Tony is nearby so I can hide with him. I can come out when it's really quiet to get hugs, treats and strokes whenever I want it.
Life Motto: Just be cool 'cos being cool is what I'm all about.
Favourite thing about the office: I'm getting noticed for being the cool dog about town. I'm not jumping or running around. I'm just making sure people notice me for being the top dog.
Life Motto: I love everything! I love treats and jumping and running and people and attention.
Favourite thing about the office: I love all the people! I love all the space because I love running! And I'm getting lots of attention, which is great! I love attention!
Like a parent of a brood, I shouldn't have favourites, but Bowser won me over. His strutting around "cool dude" persona, combined with the underbite, and that he followed me around for most of the day, meant that he was the dog I wanted to keep (although I don't think Brandon would let me).
At the end of the day, it was time to say goodbye to our new pup-pals. There's nothing better than getting down to do your usual day-to-day tasks with the pleasure of being able to pat a dog at the same time.
In the words of Florence and the Machine, "The Dog Days Are Over" and the Bronto team realised the office is not just a place for Dinosaurs and people but a place for everyone—Labradors and Pugs alike.


SB 122, to encourage the manufacture of ammo components in Montana, passed Second Reading in the House by a vote of 60-40. Wahoo!!!
In debate on the bill, one Democrat said that if SB 122 passes, maybe it would keep the Montana Shooting Sports Association out of legislators' hair for the next two years while MSSA focuses on trying to get ammo component manufacturers going in Montana. Ha ha.
SB 122 will go to Third Reading tomorrow in the House. Barring a political cataclysm, I'd expect today's vote to hold on Third Reading.
Then the bill will need to go back to the Senate for Senate concurrence with two small, technical amendments made by the House Taxation Committee. I would expect that Senate concurrence to be a mere formality. After that, SB 122 will go to the Governor.
Stay tuned. I'll let you know when it's time to contact the Governor about SB 122.
