P.E. Talk Remixes and the Art of Maximalism With Liars' Angus Andrew
The friends and collaborators chop it up about Andrew's film scoring and their favorite sounds.
By P.E. | January 15, 2020
Person is the debut from NYC's P.E., a band born of the city's art-punk underground and dedicated to freaky experimentation. Comprising Veronica Torres, Jonathan Campolo, and Benjamin Jaffe (all of the beloved and freshly defunct Pill) alongside Jonathan Schenke and Robert Jones of the electronic/art-rock favorite Eaters, P.E. features some of NYC's most notable experimental voices. Early shows were entirely improvisational, allowing the group to develop a collaborative chemistry that led to an equally free-form recording process.
The resulting LP displays the group's collective experience writing memorable songs, matched with a dedication to tearing them apart at the seams. Recorded at Schenke's Studio Windows, Person holds the spark of P.E.'s early improvisations in its clattering industrial percussion, zigzagging synths and sax, and colorful dystopian poetry. The group's natural language results in a sonic lexicon reflecting the unnatural surroundings of their adopted home in NYC—chaotic yet alluring, gnarly, and fun. Sold and packaged with a tender tone, this is music for fully-formed persons aware of their ideological discrepancies. Turn on the human music of the 21st century.

Angus Andrew is the founding member of the Australian-American electronic punk band Liars; Jonathans Schenke and Campolo are members of the Brooklyn-based DIY supergroup P.E. Here, the friends and collaborators talk how Angus remixed a P.E. song, their recording processes, and P.E.'s forthcoming debut album.
— Annie Fell, Talkhouse Senior Editor
Johnathan Schenke: Hey Angus, it's Johnny and Johnny. There are two Johnnys here.
Angus Andrew: Johnny Two Eyes.
Schenke: Well, I'm Johnny Two Eyes and then there's Johnny—
Jonathan Campolo: One eye.
Angus: So three eyes total.
Schenke: Something like that.
Campolo: How are you doing man?
Angus: You know, I was just emailing my manager to ask him what's OK for me to talk about, in terms of the current film score I'm doing. So I'm just going to write a question mark right there and then send that off right now.
OK, so two Johnnys — both of you in the band?
Campolo: Yes.
Angus: Pill Eaters.
Schenke: Well, we shortened it. It's just P.E.
Angus: So that was the name, but originally of two bands. One band was called Pill and one band was called Eaters.
Schenke: Exactly.
Angus: And then both bands disbanded?
Schenke: Well, Eaters is still going, it's just a kind of project that changes whenever we get together. Right now it's in this sound sculpture/art installation/microtonal drone position.
Campolo: They play a goddamn glass harmonica.
Angus: So how many people are in that band?
Schenke: There are three of us. It's myself and Bob [Jones], who is also in P.E., and then a glass sculptor named Chris Duffy.
Angus: Nice. And then on top of Eaters there's Pill. Johnny, you're in that also?
Campolo: Yeah, I'm in that band. But that band disbanded earlier this year.
Angus: Under good terms?
Campolo: Under good terms. That's what my lawyer told me to say.
Angus: The thing that is interesting, or probably at least a good place to start, is how we met.
Schenke: We met through Sweet John Rau.
Angus: Sweet John Rau. So John Rau is a sound engineer who I've toured with very extensively. How do you know John?
Schenke: I know John just from New York. He's done sound for Eaters a bit.
Angus: Then how did we get in touch?
Schenke: Well, I was hanging out with John in Portland and I played him the record. He was the one that was adamant that I send it to him so he could send it to you. He knew that it would be something you'd be into. And that's where it sparked the idea of reaching out about the remix.
Angus: Yes. Well, I had always said to John Rau — because I knew that he was living in New York and doing a lot of touring nonstop with so many different people — I always told John, "Keep an eye out for me, mate," because I'm a bit out of it in the bush. And he sent your guys' stuff down, and of course he was right that we were like-minded.
Schenke: If you could sort of talk about the remix, walk us through — did you have something in mind when you started, or was it just sort of a dive-in-and-that's-what-came-out?
Angus: Definitely a dive-in-and-that's-what-came-out. Normally I listen to it and then I kind of extract the bits that I like the best, and if I'm working with a vocal, then obviously the vocal. And then I just kind of go to town and do whatever. That sounds really boring in a production style, but experimenting is always my go-to rather than any kind of premeditated sort of plan. I'm a throw-everything-at-the-wall-and-look-at-it-for-a-while kind of person. And usually what happens is if I find some way of making it fun and dancey, because I still think a remix is, you want to be in the club. I want to make it fun.
It's always great to work with other people's vocals and other people's words. I always get obsessed with vocal lines when I do remixes, and your song is especially good for that.
Schenke: Veronica [Torres]'s got all those good one-liners on the record.
Angus: "I need strict compliance." That was the one I wanted. I could have had that just repeating the whole time and I would have been happy with that.
Campolo: Corporate speak.
Angus: So as a couple of hip dudes in Brooklyn, where does the concept of a remix really lie, in terms of its applicability and who cares?
Campolo: I think it's fun, because what you brought into doing our remix was that you can sort of kill the preciousness of the original. Not so much like decimating something or bastardizing the sound, but you can really turn it on its head in a way. I think our album was enough of a curveball that you brought it even further into left field, which was perfect.
What you see in Brooklyn a lot is people doing — the cover song is kind of like a close cousin to the remix, in a way, and what people are doing is either updating a classic or doing something so contemporary. People like to re-update classics. Like, I'm seeing so much Talking Heads in Brooklyn. It's crazy, man.
Schenke: Yeah, there was a whole night and our friends were like the backing band of Talking Head covers. It was like a greatest hits.
Angus: Is it really rude for me to say that I'm not into Talking Heads at all?
Campolo: They're all here and they're all shaking their heads right now. They hate you.
Schenke: David Byrne's sitting back here really looking upset.
Angus: I missed the boat on them and that's OK. I just had a massive Tom Tom Club day yesterday, but not Talking Heads for some reason. I don't know.
Schenke: Maybe one day.
Angus: So in the live shows, what's your guys' set up?
Schenke: So, the project started with a live show that we did for a friend's record release show. The idea was just to jam, so we had this improvised set. We had a couple practice sessions beforehand.
Campolo: Did Bob have this machine then?
Schenke: Yeah, like an E-mu SP-12 sampling drum machine from the '80s. It's like a 12-bit sampler.
Campolo: It's a beast, man.
Schenke: Yeah, it's very fun. It's got faders and big old buttons that feel like you're hitting an arcade game. You were playing bass and synth and effects, and I had an MS-20 doing process vocals. Ben was playing sax, Veronica just wanted to sing. We all just kind of showed up with these things that were like, "I would like to play this." These sounds started to come.
The show was really fun and then Johnny and Bob and I came into my studio a few weeks later and just spent the weekend recording. I think we recorded for hours.
Campolo: Yeah. Sort of like how you were describing a maximalist approach, where you just see what sticks, we just kept rolling with no primary focus or direction at all. Just hit record and kind of lay back into the weekend, really.
Schenke: It was just people in the room like, "I have an idea," then we'd put it down and that would spark something else. We'd start to build up this stuff, and it kind of goes back to [the idea of] carving away and making a collage of things.
Campolo: It's like being maximalist, and only subtracting in editing.
Schenke: Yeah, things like, maybe we have a seven- or eight-minute jam and what Veronica and Ben are doing later on in it really feels like the chorus, so we'd chop that out and move it up and that becomes the refrain.
Angus: So how many songs did you guys have? Did you leave any out?
Scheke: Yeah, there's some really weird shit on my hard drive somewhere.
Campolo: Should we send you all the weird shit?
Angus: Of course, you've gotta send me the weirdest shit.
Schenke: I think 12 ideas made the record, and we had something like 20. Some of those are very meandering.
Campolo: There's a thin line between something that's barely even there and a song that makes a record.
Angus: Yeah, really. And it's the simplest things that work so obviously and so clearly and so immediately, and you know it straight away. Then there are those ones that are almost there, and they can sit there for ages.
Schenke: There's always that one song on the record that you spend an inordinate amount of time working on. It's the albatross of the record.
Campolo: And it doesn't show. [Laughs.]
Angus: It's never the one anyone cares about.
Campolo: It's not like a painting where you can see all the strokes — nobody hears it at all.
Schenke: What I always tell people is, just because you can edit or refine or quantize or tune or whatever doesn't mean you should. For me, there's a threshold for every project where it's like, yeah that's not quite "right," but if it's below the threshold I'll leave it, because that's what makes it feel human. On this P.E. record, there's a lot of really out of time shit where we were like, "Well, that adds to the charm."
What are you up to? I know there's the super secret thing that you're not sure if you can talk about.
Campolo: Oh, right. Did you hear back from him?
Angus: He said it's fine. I'm doing a soundtrack right now for a film that's called Becky, which is sort of like modern thriller with a young female protagonist. It's cool, man. It's fun, but it's a lot of work. I'm just so snowed in with scenes I'm behind on. But it's fun.
Campolo: Is it a lot of back and forth? Like, are they giving you heavy direction?
Angus: Yeah. There's a lot more direction than the one I'd done previously, which was a few years ago, and that was a lot more like, I just made a ton of stuff and then we kind of made it fit where it should go. This is like: "At the 27-minute mark, it's gotta do this!" It's kind of intense. It's just amazing just on this project how much music is actually being generated, a small amount of which is making it through into the movie. It's just incredible to be forced to make so much. It's so cool. I love it, really.
Campolo: Soundtracking is amazing.
Schenke: Are you keeping the discarded bits for something?
Angus: Oh, yeah. I always keep everything. There's always a lot of leftovers with every project, so it's good to keep everything for me.
Schenke: How much do you see the overlapping, say, of doing a soundtrack like this compared to the band that you hired or the record you did on your own? Are there certain things that you recognize?
Angus: I don't know. At the bottom of everything is a sort of level of confidence that I think is kind of necessary in terms of the different ways of making music that I've done, where you're just going to have to believe in it and know that it's going to work and that you're doing it for a reason. It's not always been that easy to be that confident about what you're doing. It's just great to know you guys can send me something to do a remix, and I just feel like I know it's going to work out well.
Soundtrack stuff is great. I love sound. I go back and forth between how much I like a well-written song verse, and an amazing sort of sounding piece of sound. My whole sort of musical career has really been just kind of going back and forth between writing straightforward songs or just making sounds. I'm really happy in both realms. It's interesting, at the moment, I'm actually judging the Australian Music Prize.
Campolo: No way!
Angus: I have to listen to so many records, it's out of control.
Campolo: Are they all over the place? Like country, blues?
Angus: Yeah, yeah. I get nine a week or something that I gotta listen to.
Campolo: It's like the CD club. Remember the CD club?
Schenke: Columbia House.
Campolo: That sounds terrible. I mean, no offense, I'm sure it's prestigious.
Angus: It's just interesting for me. Of course it's a bit of an honor for me, but also it's a real learning experience in terms of this question of songwriting versus sound. Part of the idea of judging the thing is that you've got to think that the winner is unique in some way. So it feels like you should be writing off every kind of singer-songwriter thing. But then you're forced to listen to it and you think, Well, they've actually written a really great song here. So what do you do? It's not advancing humankind in a massive way, but it is technically a really well-written song and I can appreciate that. But more and more, music is starting to verge on sound design. That is more interesting to me.
Campolo: Yeah. When you say that I think of like…
Schenke: I mean, hip hop.
Campolo: Definitely. There's a lot more sound design in hip hop, and especially soundscape in hip hop nowadays.
Angus: Yes, yes, yes. And has been for ages. The real pushing the boundaries of production has all come from hip hop. I was thinking about that, the 808 kick drum and how melodic it is, the other day. It really was a big innovation in the sound when that became huge so recently. And the high hats thing.
Schenke: Like trap hats.
Angus: Yeah. It's so cool.
Campolo: They're not going away, those high hats. Never.
Angus: Never? [Laughs.]
Campolo: Never.
Angus: That's innovation that is not coming around through rock & roll bands for sure.
Campolo: But it's much more… Like, for instance, coming out of a rock & roll band most recently and into this band that [is], like, chest-deep in electronic music — it blows open the whole universe of it, and it all of a sudden seltzer water in a cup could be an instrument. You start thinking about music in a completely different way. It's really nice.
Schenke: Zag-zagging between song and sound design — for me, the sweet spot in the middle is always really refreshing. There's a lot to mine out of that. I was talking with Ben, our sax player, about the sweet and sour aspects — where if you have something really catchy, but also the grating noise underneath, that's where people from both camps can really agree, "There's something happening here. I want to listen to this again."
Angus: Yeah. There is a sweet spot in there somewhere, and we're all just trying to find it, aren't we?
Campolo: Yeah. Angus, what's your favorite sound? Not your favorite song, your favorite sound.
Angus: I've always really liked the sound of feet on gravel.
Schenke: That's a good one.
Campolo: Huge one.
Angus: Yeah, I love that one. It reminds me of another great sound and great live moment when I saw Bjork performing with Matmos for the record that they did [Vespertine]. The Matmos dudes were on stage and they had their feet in these little containers that had styrofoam in it, and those were miked and they were doing the beat by just walking on the styrofoam. So cool.
Campolo: Oh man. That's basically like straight up foley.
Schenke: Have you ever seen Matmos? It is like a live foley act.
Angus: Yeah. Really amazing. What's your favorite sound?
Campolo: I thought you were going to say mine — I grew up in New England, which is like Arctic winter, and it's definitely feet on snow. Really nostalgic. It has like a crunch, and then a dense boom at the bottom — it's a really good one.
Angus: It can be super crispy. The highs or something in that makes my teeth tingle. And what about you, Johnny One Eye?
Schenke: No, I'm One.
Campolo: Shit, we're getting it fucked up.
Schenke: Probably thunderstorms. You were talking about growing up in New England; I grew up in Houston, Texas, which is right on the Gulf Coast. You just get these massive thunderstorms rolling in from the ocean. You could hear like the low end and it would just sort of like build and open up the closer it got to you.
Angus: I love that sound too. I have a two-year-old daughter and we've just been all about thunderstorms recently. Down here, it's been the time of year where it's just banging in the clouds. She's like, "I want to see it, I want to see it! Where is it?"
Campolo: Like, "Where is this coming from?!"
Angus: Yeah. It's so amazing. Dudes, it's been really nice to talk to you both and we can do it again if you want, anytime.
Schenke: Thanks, man. It was great chatting with you.

PHELAN, Calif. (VVNG.com) A 35-year-old North Hollywood man was arrested for kidnapping his ex-girlfriend and their child after an arranged meeting.
On Sunday, April 2, 2017, the suspect met with an ex-girlfriend to exchange property.
According to a San Bernardino County Sheriff's news release, the suspect choked the victim and dragged her by the hair to his vehicle. The suspect had a firearm and threatened to shoot the victim if she did not comply. The suspect demanded the victim's current address while continuing to threaten her with the firearm, even discharging the firearm through the window of the vehicle.
Once they arrived at the residence, the suspect threatened the victim's new boyfriend and took the victim and their child against their will.
San Bernardino County Sheriff's dispatch received a report of the threats, assault, and kidnapping when the suspect left the residence. Deputies were able to obtain a vehicle description and registration information which was relayed to other deputies.
Deputy Ty James located the black Toyota Avalon as it was entering the southbound I-15 freeway at Joshua Street. Once additional deputies were in place, the vehicle was stopped on the I-15 freeway just south of the CA Hwy 138 overpass.
The suspect was taken into custody without incident and booked into West Valley Detention Center on kidnapping, false imprisonment, assault with a deadly weapon, inflicting injury on a spouse or cohabitant, felon in possession of a firearm and criminal threats.
The suspect is currently being held on $250,000 bail and is scheduled to be arraigned in a Victorville courtroom on April 4, 2017.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact Deputy David Moore at the Victor Valley Sheriff's Station, Phelan Substation, at (760) 868-1006.

Tinley Park Fire Department in the news:
The TribLocal is reporting that Tinley Park may add live-ins
The idea of staffing a fire station full-time may have been unthinkable when Tinley Park's 13-member volunteer fire department took shape in 1901.
But 11 decades and 120 firefighters later, round-the-clock staffing is already a reality at the four fire stations, with live-in arrangements already in place at Station 1, located at 17355 S. 68th Court, and Station 4, at 7801 W. 191st St., south of Interstate Highway 80.
Now village officials are preparing to upgrade Station 2, at 7825 W. 167th St., and Station 3, at 9191 W. 175th St., for live-in staffing in 2013 or 2014.
The project, tentatively estimated at $1 million, calls for improving exercise areas, expanding living and kitchen areas, establishing separate sleeping-washroom-shower areas for men and women, and developing adequate office space at both stations.
Trustee Brian Maher, who chairs the Village Board's Public Safety Committee, said the improvements, patterned after Station 4, would accommodate the 24-hour staffing schedule, with four firefighters per shift.
Maher said stations 2 and 3 would meet "minimal standards" for residential staffing once "bare-bones upgrades" are completed. "It's hardly an ideal situation, but we want to get them (the two stations) in shape sooner, rather than later," he said.

Another TribLocal article looks into the possible future for Tinley Park's retired Seagrave aerial with a fire department in Indiana.
A Village Board committee is recommending that Tinley Park donate the Fire Department's outdated ladder truck to a small rural Indiana community near Turkey Run State Park.
There's just one hitch: The volunteer firefighting force in Marshall, Ind., would have to find a way to pay the insurance on the vehicle, which allows access to multistory buildings and structures set back from paved areas.
The three-trustee Public Safety Committee unanimously endorsed last week donating Truck No. 276 after Assistant Fire Chief Steve Klotz said the 37-year-old vehicle "doesn't have any use to us anymore."
Klotz, chief of fire department operations, said the Marshall Volunteer Fire Department, whose equipment is limited to an engine, tanker, brush truck and crew cab, "is interested if they can come up with the insurance money."
Committee member Tom Staunton supported the donation.
"If it benefits them, I think it's a great thing," he said.
Committee Chairman Brian Maher said the village has an informal policy of helping less fortunate communities.
Maher characterized the community of 324 about 75 miles southeast of Champaign as "a really rural small town that just doesn't have any money" for firefighting equipment.
"When we have old equipment that has little value, we always consider if it's something we can do to help somebody else in the region," he said.
In 2002, Tinley Park donated several squad cars to the city of Iron Mountain in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, which had no money budgeted for vehicles. Each car had more than 100,000 miles on the road, substantially limiting potential resale value.
Maher said village officials took the ladder truck, purchased in 1975, and a pumper truck, purchased in 1994, out of service after learning the state insurance office might deduct points from Tinley Park's fire-safety rating because the vehicles failed to meet current standards.
They were replaced in May by a new 100-foot ladder truck.
Maher said Chicago Heights purchased the pumper, which had some mechanical problems, for $50,000 this year.
"It's a step up from what they already have and will complement their fleet," he said.
Village Manager Scott Niehaus said "scrapping" was the main option for the ladder truck, but if Marshall's fire department can use it, "the value is much more than $8,000" — the estimated salvage value.
Assuming the Village Board approves the donation, Niehaus said Tinley Park would charge a "nominal" fee of $1 to $10 and obtain standard legal protection against any problems.
Maher credited Fire Chief Ken Dunn with finding the volunteer fire department.
"The fire service is an interesting fraternity of people," Maher said. "They tend to help each other out. Hopefully, (Marshall) can find the money they need to insure the truck."
Klotz said the village wouldn't deliver the vehicle, which has a top speed of 45 to 50 mph.
It would be up to the volunteer firefighters "to come get it," Klotz said, "maybe on a trailer."

"Instead of always searching and grasping for more, gratitude allows us to appreciate what we have now. Cultivating joy requires building the gratitude muscle as part of our daily and weekly workouts. Only in this rep-set, we ditch the wishing, complaining and striving, and refocus on noticing what is going well in our lives right now, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant.
Learning to be grateful for life's simple pleasures can certainly improve your mood and perception of life. I recall a day when my kids were small and I was taking them to get haircuts. Once in the car, my two adorable, precious children proceeded to fight like two alley cats in a scrap yard. As I drove along and listened to this free-for-all in the back seat, I would occasionally interrupt with a "Stop it!" or "Enough already!" When that didn't seem to be effective, I started to get annoyed and then, for some reason, amidst all the noise and frustration, I just gave up.
As the boys continued to yell and exchange insults at each other, my mood turned from annoyance to amusement. It struck me that these two little boys were not going to be young forever, and I realized how lucky I was to have these daily moments with them, no matter how stressful. This total re-frame of the situation filled me with gratitude and the rest of our outing was not just tolerable, it was fun.

Entries will be evaluated based on creativity, photographic quality, and effectiveness in conveying/representing one of the above-mentioned categories.
I sadly don't have many photos that illustrate the themes of sharing cultures, or providing technical assistance for that matter (business meetings and accounting lectures aren't the greatest photo subject). And even worse, my vacation prevents me from going out immediately to find some good photo opportunities. So until I get back to Burkina, just 2 weeks before the submission deadline, I'm trying to brainstorm some good shots with those criteria in mind. Perhaps I can do some good Burkina culture sharing with Americans while in the US as well?
I don't see anything about a limit on submissions, but for the moment I'm currently planning on entering my current favorite – my host brother on his moto which I've included below. I would be curious to know if anyone out there thinks I should enter any other photos on the site. Check out my portraits, landscapes, or posts with the 'photos' tag and let me know what you think!

The Week in Black Art, March 22-28, 2021: Smithsonian Hiring 6 New Museum Directors, Veronica Ryan Now Represented by Paula Cooper Gallery, Gary Simmons Joins Hauser & Wirth
by Victoria L. Valentine on Mar 22, 2021 • 8:58 pm 1 Comment
This post will be updated with the latest news in Black art throughout the week

Smithsonian Hiring 6 New Museum Directors
For the first time in its history, the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., is searching for directors for six museums–four existing museums (National Museum of African Art, National Air and Space Museum, National Museum of the American Indian, Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum in New York City) and two new museums authorized by Congress in December (the National Museum of the American Latino and the American Women's History Museum). | Washington Post
Gary Simmons Joined Hauser & Wirth
Hauser & Wirth gallery announced its representation of artist Gary Simmons. "Over the past thirty years, Gary has achieved an incredibly rare alchemy of feeling with his paintings, installations, sound works and sculptures. Simultaneously depicting and erasing—a process that in itself suggests the strange, willful impermanence of American culture—he's created a powerful artistic language to express the personal and collective experience of Black Americans," Marc Payot, president of Hauser & Wirth said in a statement. New York-born Simmons is based in Los Angeles. "Gary Simmons: The Engine Room" opens next week at Henry Art Gallery in Seattle. His first exhibition with Hauser & Wirth will be on view in Los Angeles in 2022.
Paul Cooper Gallery Announced its Representation of Veronica Ryan
Artist Veronica Ryan is now represented by Paula Cooper Gallery, where her solo exhibition "Veronica Ryan: Weather Inside" was presented in fall 2019. Describing her work, the gallery said "Ryan's evocative sculptures and installations employ a wide range of materials, including bronze, plaster, marble, textiles and found objects, and a similar breadth of processes, from casting and carving to stitching, modeling and assembling. Much of her work draws on personal memories and experiences, making connections across time and place and reflecting the wider psychological implications of history, trauma and recovery." Born in Plymouth, Montserrat, Ryan grew up in England. Today, she splits her time between New York and the UK. Awarded the Windrush Commission, Ryan created a public artwork honoring the Windrush generation that immigrated from the Caribbean to the United Kingdom that will be unveiled in London's Hackney Town Hall Square this fall. She also received the 2018 Freelands Award, which includes a major exhibition of new works, "Veronica Ryan: Along A Spectrum," opening in May on Spike Island in Bristol. | via email

Ene Ali Esther says:
This art work is from my country Nigeria, precisely, from the Edo people in Benin. It's very fascinating and the adornment in it is how the "OBA" King of Benin adorns himself. He is called the "oba noba ne'edo nukwo akpolokpolo" of the Benin people. It's our history.


It's been a little over a month now since she arrived. And all she ever does is sit on that hill staring at the mountains. Maybe this was her way of coping, or maybe she just didn't want to try. This one never talked, and her form seemed of one as a statue.
And that was fine with me. In a way, she reminded me of mah brother. Both of them had a lot of similarities, as well as many differences. To me, they were both the same kind of apple on the outside, but different tasting on the inside.
...okay if you take what ah just said the wrong way ah'll buck you into next harvest season.
But back to her, as ah said before she arrived here a little over a month ago, but the poor girl was so banged and torn apart that none of us thought this creature would survive. She was immediately rushed over to the hospital, where many of our doctors spent days upon days to keep her alive. She was in and out of surgery more times then ah wish ah could count. Once they finished, she was good as new!
When she woke up her eyes showed no sign of life in them. Like she was still asleep, but awake at the same time. It brought a chill down through my spine to my tail. At first ah feared her, we knew nothing of this creature and I would do anything to protect my family.
But what ah saw next changed all that, she looked at her hands for a few moments, which ah thought at first were claws just like Spike's, before ah saw her whole form begin to shake.
"...why am I still alive?"
Those were the first and last words she ever said. She began to cry into them. Ah don't know why, but after that, ah wanted to protect her.
A few days later after that ah took her back to the farm, she seemed to follow me so it was okay. Twilight originally wanted to take her to Canterlot for the princesses to see, but ah told her it might not be a safe trip for her since she just got out of the hospital. That might have been a dumb excuse but somewhere in me told me that she would disappear the second ah looked away. The sad part was that ah did seem to lose her on the way to inform the family.
I panicked looking for her; searching every tree and barn in hopes nothing happened to her. Luckily though I found her on that one hill, watching the sunset go down past the hills, she was so mesmerized with it I thought it did some good for her.
But that thought soon vanished when she didn't move from the hilltop. No matter how many times ah pulled her to the house or somewhere else, if ah took my eye off her for a split second she was gone at a moments notice, and back on that hilltop.
Just staring across the horizon. Ah soon gave up with the idea of trying to force her; Ah don't think ah could ever figure out what was going through her head.
At least, ah thought ah wouldn't.
One rough day ah had at the farm after dealing with some terrible cargo and a few swindlers trying to make a profit off our apples, ah sat next to her and began running my mouth off. Ah don't know why but I just needed to vent, ah was angry at those ponies, ah was angry at myself for almost being tricked, and ah just needed to release.
So there ah was, talking about my problems to someone who just stared off into the horizon, flailing my hooves as if ah was going for a dramatic affect. But you know what, it felt good. Ah could never vent my feelings like this to mah family; ah never wanted them to worry about the farm or mah problems.
But with her, it felt really nice. After ah finished venting she didn't say anything of course, but it felt like she did listen, and that was good enough for me.
It became a daily thing for me, after working ah would go up to that hilltop and talk about mah day, even if it was just about work or my friends, she always seemed to listen, but never talking or judging me.
Ah don't know if what ah believed was true or not, maybe she wasn't really listening. Maybe I was just making a fool of myself. But that didn't really bother me.
Now ah just didn't leave the poor girl starving if you were wondering. Every day ah would leave a small basket of apples and a couple of water bottles. Every now and then ah would make a pie or a sandwich, but ah would only see a few bites in those, while the apples she would only leave the stem and seeds left.
Rarity of course, being 'generous' and all, took up the challenge of making her some clothes. Now at first they were all fancy clothes for events like the Gala and such, but none of those were really comfortable from what ah noticed for just sitting and relaxing. So ah 'convinced' her to make some average n' loose style clothes for her. Boy that day there was a lot of shouting about looking your best and so on.
Ah'm not saying she didn't look good in those dresses, even made my cheeks redder then the juiciest of apples. But ah knew she wasn't comfortable sitting on that hilltop wearing those.
So when ah go to grab of what's left of the food ah brought her earlier, ah bring her a pair of clean clothes, two towels, and some soap. She'll usually wash herself at the nearby river on our farm, don't know why she doesn't use the shower, maybe they don't have them wherever she's from. At least since the river is on our land ah don't have to worry about peepers spying on her.
Ah remember one night Applebloom and her friends came rushing into the house as if they saw a ghost. And the three soon started shouting all at once, in full panic. Ah couldn't understand much of it but ah was able to make out three key words from their shouting.
Mah heart sank as ah quickly rushed passed them and out the house, heading towards the river. Mah mind was racing with a million thoughts. Ah was 'fraid that a timberwolve or some everfree forest creature attacked her while she was bathing.
Ah soon felt something wrap against my neck, gently stroking my back.
Mah thoughts immediately stopped. She was trying to calm me down. She must've turned around and saw me, and realized how angry ah was becomin'. Ah don't know where those dark thoughts came from, and that scared me. But as quickly as they came, they quickly vanished because of this girl.
Ah soon wrapped my fore hooves around her and cried into her shoulder, not wanting to let go out of fear she'll disappear.
After that night, ah was haunted with nightmares. They were always blurry and dark. But ah would see a shadow standing above me, standing just like her. This one bigger than her though, and the creature stood there, with something that looked similar to a whip. After what felt like a eon the creature would raise it's arm, and bring down the whip.
Ah felt no pain, but ah could hear the screams. The screams of agony, screams begging for forgiveness, screams of pleading for the pain to stop. Only for more pain to be brought. Ah couldn't stop it. It always ended with my view moving in a different perspective, helplessly watching as the girl was whipped over and over, unable to do anything.
Ah would wake up in cold sweat, shaking. Ah began checking outside my window, making sure she was still there. And every time ah was thankful to see her.
So after the month we would go on our usual routine, and usually after my talks about my day I would wrap her around a blanket and head off back to the farm. Mah nightmares always the same though, ah was never able to talk about them, in fear of bringing something personal up.
When ah turned around after reaching our home ah noticed that she was standing there, still holding the blanket ah wrapped around her. The poor thing only made eye contact to the ground, but she still seemed to follow me. Ah smiled knowing why she followed; ah opened the door for her.
Ah watched her as her movements stopped right before entering, her body was slowly shaking, but ah got behind her and gently nudged my head against her, slowly pushing her in. She didn't seem to stop me in anyway, just accepted my gentle pushes.
Once finally in and closing and locking the door behind us, Ah slowly made my way to my room up the stairs, her following me slowly. Once in the room, Ah put my hat along with my hair bands off to the side.
Slowly getting in the bed, ah patted the other side until she finally understood and got in as well. She moved uncomfortably around, guessing she got used to sleeping in a awkward position on that hill. Letting out a little chuckle ah gently pulled her into my embrace, her head right under mah chin.
That the nightmares wouldn't come tonight.
This was sitting in my folder forever. I have so many unfinished projects and rewrites I have to work on. Anyways thanks for reading! Let me know if there's any mistakes or anything.

State of Emergency: JTF Closing-in on Boko Haram Leaders
Posted on May 29, 2013 Author Senator Iroegbu and Michael Olugbode with agency reports	Comment(0)
The Nigerian Military Tuesday said it had recorded another success in the ongoing offensive against members of the Boko Haram sect, with a confirmation that a close associate of the sect's leader, Abubakar Shekau, had been found dead, while on an errand.
The confirmation, however, comes barely 24 hours after the troops of the Joint Task Force (JTF) deployed to enforce the state of emergency in Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe States, said it had killed three insurgents, including a senior figure called Abba, and capturing 25 others in the process.
But, Shekau in a video obtained by the Agence France-Presse (AFP) yesterday, claimed that the soldiers deployed to the three states have retreated during the ongoing military offensive, while the insurgents sustained little damage.
In the face of the hostilities also came a report that a senior personnel in the Operations Department of the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) (names withheld), who allegedly was assisting the sect to get arms and ammunition into the country through the nation's border posts with Cameroun and Niger Republic in Borno State had been apprehended, according to a security source.
Speaking on the development, the Director of Defence Information (DDI), Brig-Gen. Chris Olukolade, confirmed in a statement that Shekau's associate was found dead, while on an errand.
Olukolade also revealed the capture of two insurgents, one of them a Nigerien, who were on the verge of crossing to Niger Republic through Lake Chad.
He said: "The terrorist believed to be a close associate of insurgents' leader Abubakar Shekau has been found dead as he ran errand for the leadership. The other two fellow terrorists one of which is confirmed to be a Nigerien are now in the custody of the Multinational Joint Task Force (MJT).
"The three were in the process of crossing the border to the neighbouring Niger Republic through the Lake Chad."
The DDI said the three captured insurgents were confirmed to have operated in Baga and "participated in perpetrating arson and other atrocities around the vicinity of the town. They have been relocating from place to place since they left Baga last month."
However, the Boko Haram video, according to AFP, marked the first public comments from Shekau, since the start of a sweeping offensive by the Nigerian Army on May 15.
Shekau's whereabouts, which could not be determined in the video, in which he was shown seated, while dressed in camouflage with a turban, an AK-47 at his side, called on foreign Islamist groups to join the fight in Nigeria.
"Since we started this ongoing war which they call state of emergency…in some instances soldiers who faced us turned and ran," Shekau said in the hour-long video.
The Boko Haram leader, who claimed that the Nigerian forces "threw down their arms in flight", called on like-minded Islamists in countries including Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq to join the fight to create an Islamic state in Nigeria.
"We call to us our brethren in these countries I mentioned. Oh! Our brethren, come to us," he said in the video, which alternated between Arabic and the Hausa language spoken across northern part of the country.
Shekau, who was designated as a global terrorist by the United States last year, had repeated earlier statements that Boko Haram "will not stop the kidnap of your women and children until you set free our women and children, and our brethren."
He also said the sect's goal was either the creation of an Islamic state or "martyrdom".
The video was delivered to AFP, though an intermediary in a manner similar to previous Boko Haram messages with the images of Shekau in the video as consistent with those previously released.
Meanwhile, the arrest of the top Customs official, THISDAY gathered, was the subject of discourse among residents of Maiduguri metropolis and its environs, as residents expressed mixed feelings about the development.
It was also gathered that the discussion at all corners of Maiduguri centred on the arrest of the officer, residents expressed appreciation over the arrest of the Customs official, who was said to have allegedly assisted the Boko Haram sect get thousands of weapons, arms and ammunition into the country through the border.
This arrest of the official, it was gathered, followed the arrest of some members of the sect, who spilled the bean on him.
The source said: "He was arrested by the military, following the arrest of some militant sect members, who after series of interrogations, revealed that the officer was one of the many security officers helping them to bring in weapons to the state."
The security source said: "The senior officer manned the border post each time the truck conveying arms was about coming to Maiduguri."
"He would simply tell his boys to let it pass that it has been cleared from above," the source added.

If she looked uncomfortable, she didn't show it.
On Thursday, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle visited as part of their 16-day royal tour around cities in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and Tonga. For the beach outing, Meghan smartly covered up in her Martin Grant trench coat, which she wore earlier in the week, since it's always breezy by the water. Underneath her trench, she wore a Club Monaco A-line dress with gold buttons. Since royals wouldn't exactly at a public engagement (even if it was at a beach) Meghan opted for the next best thing: a pair of flats.
Unlike Kate Middleton, back in 2014, Meghan re-wore her navy flats from Rothy's. The close-toed shoes matched her outfit and looked great on camera, but you could tell they were completely covered in sand.
At some point, Meghan's feet even appeared to sink into the sand, meaning her shoes would have been filled with the grainy particles. Though the thought of that definitely makes some of us feel uncomfortable, Meghan, being the Duchess of Sussex and all, didn't even bat an eye. In fact, she looked rather happy as she held on to Prince Harry's hands and smiled for the cameras.
After the beach, Meghan likely emptied out the sand from her shoes before boarding a train with Prince Harry to chat with students. She's a pro.
This won't be the last you see of the flats, either. The shoes are completely machine washable, so Meghan can give them a quick rinse, then slip them right back on for the rest of her travel destinations. Shop her exact flats, below.

The most festive time of the year in Haiti is during Carnival (referred to as Kanaval in Haitian Creole or Mardi Gras). The festivities start in February. The cities are filled with music, parade floats, and people dancing and singing in the streets. Carnival week is traditionally a time of all-night parties and escape from daily life. Rara, a festival which occurs before Easter, is celebrated by a significant number of the population as well, and its celebration has been led to it becoming a style of Carnival music. Many of the youth also attend parties and enjoy themselves at nightclubs called discos, (pronounced "deece-ko") (not like the discos of the U.S), and attend Bal. This term derives from the word ballad, and these events are often celebrated by crowds of many people.

Necro'd thread (I would suggest messaging the OP. However they have been inactive for quite a while).
SO: I need practice and since I'm thinking of re-joining the Spooky-Pastrami fandom I was like "Why don't I draw some Creepypasta OC's?"
BE PATIENT! if their are a lot of people it might take some time for a reply. Same rule applies if I am drawing your character. I also need sleep and have school!

Check out my DeviantArt to see my work!
I'll check this post tommorow, I need to sleep right now.
Preffered pose-- Could you do it in a bio sheet kind of way? If you can't that's fine, any pose will do, maybe her standing with folded arms or maybe her reading a book.
Specific details-- When she's angered her eyes turn red slightly until she gets severely pissed off and they turn fully red. She also has a cresent moon tattoo on the back of her left hand.
It's okay if you cannot draw her.
Could you draw my oc it's name is TheSkinEater I'll try to explain it as best as I can it's appearance is a tall humanoid creature and it also has no skin. Instead of eyes it has empty black sockets. It doesn't really have a gender but if anything it looks more like a male. It also has sharp teeth and claws.

You get a fuller picture and note they never get people with differing opinions because then half the show is wasted with arguing. Sometimes there is a diference in pov but they usualy phrase it as slightly differ when in reality it can be more. Very civil. Great shows. Going by comments posted i figure a number of the audience are students trying to get into public service

The format is successful in getting people to watch.
Rule of thumb i use is ...more than 3 panelists ? change the channel

I would say they're masquerading and pretending to be the news, but they actually think they're serious journalists.
It's as if you took a telenovela, made a parody of it, except in a TV news format, where talking heads seen from the shoulders up say stuff in either a grave and serious tone, or an outraged and affronted tone. But in the end, it's just a telenovela nonetheless.
Yepppp, that's cable news. It's a f'in soap opera, but with nuclear weapons.

NYT and WaPo are liberal rags. What they report might be true, often its not but worse is what they fail to cover at all. Of the ones at the top, The Hill is probably the best.

Actual news sources? Tend to lean left, I suppose. New York Times, and NPR. Occasionally click through to something on CNN, but rarely watch actual CNN as it is garbage. Also, get the Chicago Tribune, which is conservative leaning. I look at Bloomberg, but that's more for business news.
My commentary sources lean conservative. Econ blogosphere, mostly.....try to avoid twitter, which is a cesspool.

I use a couple of vetting websites to check sources. This is probably my favorite https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/
The publicly funded broadcasters do tend to focus on very informative programming. Keep in mind though, that they are dependent on government funding which means they're not going to try to be too controversial.
Which is what i want to avoid. I use them in India as well. Focus tends to be on the subject rather than some made up talking points that may or may not be important but always attention grabbing.
My test is how i feel after the program. If i'm worked up for any reason then i know i got spiked. Controversial stuff always gets shot down in this site so its not worth the time. Unless i have a few angles to cover it. Not easy
See, the difference for me before joining this place is earlier i wanted my news spiked. Must have some emotional impact otherwise it was boring.
After joining this place i want it as interesting as boiled vegetables. Zero emotional impact. Any emotional impact is bad. Took many years to realise this.
Fake news works well i bet, spotting this sort of thing does not come easily or without the right coaching.

this chart is fairly old but there's a number of inaccuracies.
Slate/New Republic/Daily Kos is not to the left of Jacobin, lol.
Vox is not to the left of The New Yorker.
BBC/NPR/PBS (!) is not to the right of the NYT/WaPo.
Economist is one square too far right.
The Hill is not to the right of The Wall Street Journal.
Washingtom Times is not the same level of right as The National Review-- it is a square over.
Fox News is not to the right of The Drudge Report, or the Daily Caller, or The Blaze.
ok but i found NPR& PBS coverage of trump a great deal more even handed than those other cable networks. As in explaining what happened than interjecting whatnot over what happened.
More informative then is the word i'm looking for.
citanon replied
That charts not too bad, except cnn WaPo, BBC and nyt need to move a square to the left.
Cnn actually needs to move 1.5 squares left and further down to where buzzfeed is.
My preferred source these days is Reuters and cnbc, which is a distinctly different thing than nbc.

What journalists and commentators say about Trump isn't necessarily a left-right thing. One can't say if they're critical of Trump, they're on the left, if they support him, they're on the right.
Going by Trump coverage pre election, ABC, CBS & CNBC need to be more to the left where CNN is. They do not belong in the same space as NPR or PBS
There are plenty of right-wing media organizations who publish material that is critical of Trump. The National Review, for example, you can find plenty there. Fox News though, for example, pro-Trump day in, day out, is essentially an import of a UK Murdoch tabloid adapted as a 24 hour a day cable news broadcast station. News of the World/The Sun 24, US edition.

Wireline services about as close to the centre as you can get. Reuters, AFP, AP etc
Bloomberg being there comes as a surprise, would have expected it to be a little further away from the centre. whether to the left or right am not sure, maybe right.
No way in hell does FP skew conservative, they are liberal pretty obvious if you listen to their podcasts.
Expected WSJ to be more right leaning than indicated here, their editorials certainly qualify. Non editorial i suppose its correct.


Second day of school is over. I have had all of my classes. Four total. Here is a super super duper quick over view.

Rest In Peace You Crazy Cool Stick man GINGER BAKER OF CREAM DEAD at 80
Ginger Baker, who helped redefine the role of the drums in rock and became a superstar in the process, died on Sunday in a hospital in southeastern England. He was 80.
His family confirmed his death in a post on his official Twitter account.
Mr. Baker drew worldwide attention for his approach to the drums, as sophisticated as it was forceful, when he teamed with the guitarist Eric Clapton and the bassist Jack Bruce in the hugely successful British band Cream in 1966.

We report on the adhesion of weak interfaces in inverted P3HT:PCBM-based polymer solar cells (OPV) with either a conductive polymer, PEDOT:PSS, or a metal oxide, molybdenum trioxide (MoO3), as the hole transport layer. The PEDOT:PSS OPVs were prepared by spin or spray coating on glass substrates, or slot-die coating on flexible PET substrates. In all cases, we observed adhesive failure at the interface between the P3HT:PCBM with PEDOT:PSS layer. The adhesion energy measured for the solar cells made on glass substrates was about 1.8 J/m2, but only 0.5 J/m2 for the roll-to-roll processed flexible solar cells. The adhesion energy was insensitive to the PEDOT:PSS layer thickness in the range of 10-40 nm. A marginal increase in adhesion energy was measured with increased O2 plasma power. Compared to solution processed PEDOT:PSS, we found that thermally evaporated MoO 3 adheres less to the P3HT:PCBM layer, which we attributed to the reduced mixing at the MoO3/P3HT:PCBM interface during the thermal evaporation process. Insights into the mechanisms of delamination and the effect of different material properties and processing parameters yield general guidelines for the design of more reliable organic photovoltaic devices.© 2013 Elsevier B.V.

I am always looking for a fresh, new twist on side dishes this time of year. With the plethora of family dinners, fancy meals and potlucks around the holidays, it is nice to mix it up from the old sweet potato casserole standby, low on my list of holiday favorites. Instead, I've created a much fluffier and healthier version (holidays and healthy? gasp!). I brought this dish to serve my family on Thanksgiving. It was gobbled up.
In a large stock pot, fill with water until potatoes are covered. Boil until sweet potatoes are softened, about 15-20 minutes. Strain.
Add milk and butter and mash until smooth.
Crumble goat cheese and gently mix in with a rubber spatula or spoon. Add pepitas and fold in. Top with goat cheese and pepitas before serving.
The salty pepitas add a nice crunch to this smooth dish. These are a great side dish with turkey, pork or a good barbecue meal!
I've been on a sweet potato kick lately and this looks delicious! I was planning to bring sweet potatoes with creme fresh to Christmas, but maybe I'll go crazy and make this healthier version instead!
@Emily – let us know if you do! I can't wait to eat these again.

Precinct 4 Montgomery County Commissioner Jim Clark single-handedly slays establishment's transgender adoptions "grinch"
By admin on December 13, 2017 No Comment
Conroe, December 13 – While incurring the wrath of liberal Montgomery County Judge Craig Doyal who had sponsored Montgomery County Adoption Day and Adoption proclamations that included language supporting transgender adoptions, Precinct 4 County Commissioner Jim Clark yesterday faced the anti-family "grinch" and led the move to amend those proclamations by removing the pro-transgender and pro-same-sex adoption language. Doyal had tricked the Commissioners Court into supporting such adoptions as apart of the pro-adoption proclamations during the November 14, 2017, meeting.
Doyal clearly was irked that Clark wouldn't back down from trying to remove the offensive anti-family language from Doyal's November 14 proclamations. When it became apparent that Clark wouldn't withdraw his motion, Doyal called upon a lady from Georgia in the audience who spoke in favor of transgender and same-sex adoptions "because the children approve of those adoptions."
After Doyal's attempt to make the anti-family argument didn't work through the lady from Georgia, Doyal called on one of his political supporters who, once again, apologized for the anti-family language in the adoption proclamations which she and Doyal and put forward on November 14 and asked the Commissioners Court to adopt Clark's motion by excising the offensive language from the pro-adoption resolutions.
At that point, Clark's motion passed by a unanimous vote of the Commissioners Court, so that transgender adoptions are no longer the favored policy of the representatives of the citizens of Montgomery County. It shouldn't have been that difficult.
Santa Claus congratulates Precinct 4 County Commissioner Jim Clark.
Clark explained, "I have always been a big supporter of adoptions. The proclamation that the Commissioners Court passed, however, doesn't reflect the values that I believe or those of the people of Montgomery County. As a Commissioner, I want to clarify that the Commissioners Court supports adoptions but doesn't necessarily support adoptions by transgender or other groups. We're pro-family and don't support anti-family values."
What Clark had to correct
On November 14, 2017, Doyal tricked the Commissioners Court into supporting unanimously two proclamations in favor of transgender adoptions of children. After this newspaper reported the story on Thursday, November 16, there was a gigantic citizen outcry for the Commissioners Court to amend the pro-transgender adoption resolutions – tucked in two proclamations favoring adoptions in general.
Many citizens had even called for an emergency Commissioners Court meeting to rescind or amend the pro-transgender adoption proclamation. Doyal sponsored the resolutions. A close friend of Doyal's read the two proclamations aloud during the November 14 meeting. The Commissioners Court then voted unanimously to support the resolutions, including the transgender adoption language. Amazingly, Doyal and each County Commissioner then signed the two proclamations to show their support of them.
After the citizen outcry against Doyal, his close friend and political contributor Terri Jaggers, who also receives substantial funds from Montgomery County's government (and, of course, taxpayers), produced a video where she took the blame for the offensive proclamations. Jaggers, about whom this newspaper was unaware prior to her November 17 video, apologized to Doyal, to the County Commissioners, to the Publisher of this newspaper, and to the community for the offensive language in the two proclamations. Nevertheless, Jaggers later went on the attack against The Golden Hammer for bringing the two proclamations to the attention of the readers and other citizens of Montgomery County.
During a Montgomery County Tea Party meeting on November 20, 2017, Clark made clear that he wouldn't have supported the two proclamations if Doyal had not hidden the anti-family language from the Commissioners Court prior to the meeting.
On November 21, 2017, the Texas Pastors Council, a leading pro-family organization, issued a letter condemning the Montgomery County Commissioners Court adoption proclamations due to the "anti-family social agenda" language contained in those unanimously-passed documents. The Council called for the Commissioners Court to take swift corrective action to remove the offensive language from the two otherwise pro-adoption resolution.
Doyal ignored the clamor of Montgomery County citizens and of the Texas Pastors Council. As a result, Clark had to take charge and get the anti-family policy excised from Montgomery County's government.

ICU nurse in New York among first in country to receive Covid vaccination
"D-Day was a pivotal turning point in World War II. It was the beginning of the end — and that's where we are today," Gen. Gustave Perna said.
Updated: Dec 14, 2020 9:22 AM
NBC News- The first federally approved coronavirus vaccines were injected into American arms Monday, a landmark moment as the nation struggles to contain a virus that's killed almost 300,000 Americans.
Sandra Lindsay, an ICU nurse, was the first person in New York State to receive the shot, which was livestreamed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
The Covid-19 vaccine, developed by German company BioNTech and its United States partner Pfizer, was given emergency use authorization by the Food and Drug Administration on Friday night.
Trucks departed Pfizer's plant in Portage, Michigan, on Sunday and the company expects to deliver 2.9 million doses to 636 predetermined locations by the end of this week.
This marks the start of a colossal logistical challenge, with cargo trucks and planes fanning out across the country. All the while, these vaccines must be kept at minus 94 Fahrenheit, transported to their destination in specialist boxes packed with dry ice.
"We now believe that the first individuals will be vaccinated here in the commonwealth tomorrow morning," Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said in a statement Sunday. "We are less than 24 hours away from the beginning of the end of this virus."
"Everything's on time, no disruptions, and we're very, very excited," said Wes Wheeler, president of UPS Healthcare, which along with rival FedEx is carrying out the mass deliveries.
Still, salvation is a long way off.
The vaccine will not be given to the vast majority of Americans until well into next year. And it will take some time to make even a dent in a pandemic that is killing thousands of people across the U.S. every day — more than ever before.
Medical workers will struggle not only to distribute the vaccine to rural areas, but also to convince skeptical members of the public that the shots are safe.
Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar tried to reassure Americans on Monday, telling the "TODAY" show that the vaccine had "gone through every aspect of the FDA process with integrity and transparent data."
"If you are recommended to get it and it's available for you, please do get it, protect yourself and protect those around you," he said.
Asked exactly how may people would be vaccinated and how quickly, Azar said several times that it was "up to our nation's governors" to decide the specifics.
Over the weekend, Gen. Gustave Perna, chief operating officer of Operation Warp Speed, likened the distribution operation to the 1944 Normandy landings, the Allied invasion that began the liberation of Nazi-occupied Europe.
"D-Day was a pivotal turning point in World War II. It was the beginning of the end — and that's where we are today," Perna told a briefing Saturday. "But make no mistake, it was not the end. Months and months of hard-fought battles occurred and it took diligence, courage and strength to eventually achieve victory."
Meanwhile, Congressional leaders have set a Friday deadline to pass legislation to keep the government funded, and they say a Covid-19 aid package should be attached to it. However, Democrats and Republicans remain at odds about exactly what should be included in the deal.
The vaccine rollout in the U.S. will prioritize high-risk populations, such as hospital workers and nursing home staff and residents. It's unclear who will be prioritized in the second phase. On Monday, 145 sites will receive the vaccine, 425 Tuesday and 66 Wednesday, making up the rest of the initial shipment, he said.
That mirrors what's already happening in the United Kingdom, which last week became the first country to administer a clinically approved vaccine to patients.
That appeared to frustrate President Donald Trump, calling the FDA "a big, old, slow turtle" in a tweet Friday, and urged its commissioner, Dr. Stephen M. Hahn, to "get the dam vaccines out NOW" and "stop playing games and start saving lives!!!"
The FDA has repeatedly denied this. "We do not feel that this could have been out a week earlier," Hahn told ABC's "This Week" on Sunday. "We followed our process."
A member of Pfizer's board has also said the Trump administration passed up the opportunity to buy more of the vaccine when it had the chance.
The U.S. has ordered at least 100 million doses of the BioNTech-Pfizer vaccine, with the option to buy another 500 million. Of all the vaccines currently in development, it has put in advance orders for 800 million doses — enough to inoculate its population several times over.
That trend among wealthy countries has concerned global campaigners, who say poorer countries are set for a longer wait because richer countries are looking after themselves first.

Birdwatching at Lake Vyrnwy / Llyn Efyrnwy01691 870278work BirdwatchingThe RSPB visitor centre is an ideal place to start your visit. Join a trail through the woodland and birds are soon all around you.
You should be able to see and hear pied flycatchers and redstarts, while dippers nest by the lake and rocky streams, great crested grebes and goosanders bob on the water, and above you ravens, buzzards and perhaps a peregrine soar in the skies.
Although the hillside makes for difficult terrain, one of the hides in the reserve is accessible by wheelchair. There's plenty for children too, including nestbox trails and bat and owl walks. And if you're new to birdwatching we run regular events throughout the summer.
Heather moorland, woodland, meadows, rocky streams and a large reservoir attract a wide variety of wildlife to this reserve set at the southern end of the Berwyn Mountains. Dippers and kingfishers nest by the lake and rocky streams, while ravens and buzzards can be found on the moorland.
The RSPB visitor centre is an ideal place to start your visit. Join a trail through the woodland and birds are soon all around you.
Lake Vyrnwy is popular with both birdwatchers and families alike as it offers a full range of facilities, including a shop, nature trails and birdwatching hides. Visitors can drive around the reservoir by car.
Shop opening hours for the winter (1 November - 31 March) are 10.30am - 4.00pm weekdays, and 10.30am - 4.30pm weekends.
From 1 April - 31 October the shop is open from 10.30am – 5.30pm. The reserve itself is open at all times.


Northeast Party House	has had 12 events featured on GiggedIn in the past. We totally froth over this artist and will have them again soon.
They are the best of times. They are the worst of times. We all love a party, but they don't always go the way we'd like them to.
Northeast Party House knows this well, as do many of the characters inhabiting their hotly anticipated debut album, Any Given Weekend, out May 16 through Stop Start.
Since forming in Melbourne Australia in 2010 (and being 'Unearthed' by triple j that same year for their song 'Dusk'), Northeast Party House have built a cult following thanks to their electrifying live shows, and songs combining the heady exhilaration of dance music with pop hooks and rock backbone. These five young guys – most still in their early 20s – have brought the party to stages ranging from the Falls and St Kilda festivals to national support slots for acts such as Jungle Giants, Midnight Juggernauts and Ball Park Music.
