"Reliably crowded, dark and loud", Meatliquor's burger-led swagger has taken it far beyond niche – there's even a cookbook now. You can scoff its iconic patties in several 'Meat' outlets these days, with East Dulwich set to be the latest place of pilgrimage for burger devotees who don't mind the queues and consider the tagline 'come hungry, leave wobbly' a welcome challenge. The menu's core appeal is in the purist butter-grilled cheeseburger, mustardy double-decker Dead Hippie, house chilli dogs and extravagantly pimped sides (fried pickles, chilli cheese fries and the like) – while specials feature the Garbage Plate (fries topped with a patty, cheese, onions and gravy) and chargilled prawns – not forgetting the Game Over cocktail, a combination of vodka, gin, rum, tequila, triple sec, Pisang Ambon and absinthe, which is so strong it's limited to two per diner. You want 'dirty' food and drink? You got it.


Get the best biological filtration possible by using a Deltec FR509 Fluidised Reactor. Easy to install and maintain, it gets great results and comes at a fantastic price from Swell UK.

Take Two: Iowa Basketball- Should Melsahn Basabe Start?
By Nick Moffitt
T his week's take two is based on Iowa Head Basketball Coach Fran McCaffery stating that Melsahn Basabe could be finding himself in the starting lineup as soon as Thursday as the Iowa Hawkeyes take on the Penn State Nittany Lions. Our two writers will present both sides of the argument on whether Basabe should, or conversely shouldn't be inserted into the starting lineup in favor of Adam Woodbury.
Time for Slime Time – Jon Koob
One question Iowa fans have got be asking themselves: When is it going to be "Slime Time?" Melsahn Basabe, a junior, has often referred to himself as "Slime Time" via social media outlets. We're not quite sure where the nickname came from but one thing is for sure, the kid has a personality.
This season for the Hawkeyes, Basabe has come off of the bench to be an instant spark both on defense and offense, He's best known for his electrifying dunks and blocked shots, oh and he's developed quite the mid-range jump shot as well. Although he's coming off of a sub-par sophomore season, Basabe has made a commitment to better himself and is putting up the numbers to prove to people his unbelievable freshman season was no fluke. With the Hawkeyes right in the middle of Big 10 play, it's time for Melsahn Basabe to start and make the impact he knows he's capable of
It's no question, the guy can ball. A 3-star power forward out of high school, Basabe led Iowa in rebounding and blocks as a freshman and was the first player for the Hawkeyes (of any grade) since Ryan Bowen of 1998 to get 325 points, 200 rebounds, and 40 blocks in a single season. He was also named to the Big Ten's all-freshman team. Although his numbers were down his sophomore season, throughout the tough Hawkeye schedule so far he's averaging 7.2 PPG, 4.2 RPG, and 1.1 BPG. Note he's only been playing 17 minutes a game. It seems as though the Hawkeyes play the most effectively when he's on the floor. So what's stopping Fran McCaffery from starting Melsahn? Well, nothing really.
The scariest thing about Iowa Men's Basketball this year is how young they are. The negative side of youth though is inexperience, and it's shown throughout Big 10 play as the Hawkeyes are 2-5. Blowing big leads, coming back from impossible deficits, you name it and the Hawkeyes have done it. With Anthony Clemmons, Mike Gesell, and Adam Woodbury in the starting five for the Hawkeyes the majority of the season they have truly been exposed-mostly in the post. Adam Woodbury may be one of the best recruits Iowa has ever landed. The 7'1″ freshman had spectacular high school statistics and shows a lot of promise. In Big 10 play though, he is a boy among men.
Averaging only 5.4 PPG and 5.3 RPG just isn't going to get the job done, hence why Woodbury usually finds a comfy spot on the bench just minutes after games begin. No one is doubting his basketball knowledge or even his passing skills, but defenses have been able to smother Woodbury due to his so far one-dimensional post play and inability to hold on to the ball. His defense hasn't been the best either as Big 10 post players have been making him look like a practice dummy. Obviously he will develop more and more as he grows and gets in the weight room in the off-season. The kid has potential to be scary good, but the Hawkeyes not only have potential to be scary good in the future, they have potential to be scary good right now.
With Basabe in the starting lineup there would be less of a chance for the Hawkeyes to start off in a somewhat "stagnant" offense as they have in most of their games. Not only is he an offensive threat and a defensive machine, but Melsahn Basabe has the ability to induce that "Carver Buzz" that Hawkeye fans are coming to know and love. "Slime Time"…is right now.
Don't Fix What Isn't Broken – by Nick Moffitt
Iowa Basketball Coach Fran McCaffery said himself that Basabe has "earned" a starting spot with his play this season, some of the best in his three-year career with the Hawkeyes. The junior came as part of the first recruiting class for McCaffery, starting all of his freshman year and a good chuck of his sophomore season as well. Just because he earned that spot doesn't mean it would be beneficial to the team.
He's averaged 29 minutes over the last two games, solidifying his spot on the team with stellar defense and one of the most efficient in the paint. So why shouldn't he start? The biggest reason is comfort.
Basabe has said himself that he feels the "energy" coming off of the bench and that is how it should stay. Plenty of prominent players make their living off the bench, especially Basabe. Basabe just won Big Ten Sixth Man of the Week from StatSheet.com. With him comfortable in his position as a sixth man now, there is no need for McCaffery to make a lineup switch.
Yes, 7-1 freshman Adam Woodbury has looked less than impressive in conference play. He's been downright lost on offense the last few games, with his lack of ability to go strong to the hoop and lack of awareness near the basket. He shouldn't be pulled though, he's only averaging 16 minutes per game as is, and if pulled I don't know how he'd get those minutes, especially with Gabriel Olaseni improving his game a lot this year.
Woodbury offers solid defensive rebounding and great passing out of the post, something vital to shooters like Anthony Clemmons, Mike Gesell and Josh Oglesby. Basabe can't provide that and his passing is still below average, since Basabe can't provide that and part of Iowa's gameplan is to establish shooting early, Woodbury should start.
Starting Basabe fixes no problems on a team that has started 2-5 in Big Ten play and wouldn't improve any part of the team. He is fourth on the team with a 22 percent usage percentage, showing his already grown importance to the team, it wouldn't increase more than a few percent if he joined the starters now. The biggest teller of advanced stats is win-share's, or essentially how much win's Basabe has added to the team. He currently sits second on the team adding 2.2 wins. Basabe is currently help them win off the bench, efficiently at that which once again drives home the point that Basabe shouldn't start.
If the team wants to fix the issues of going 2-5, it's going to simply have to continue prodding on in their current system and by minimizing mistakes in their late game situations.
Putting one of the best players on the team, who is performing exceptionally well of the bench currently in the starting lineup could wreak havoc on the flow of the team during games and wouldn't help Basabe out statistically who has gotten his fair share of minutes so far. Don't fix what isn't broken.

I have several friends who are either pregnant or have very small children. It's that time in our lives when we're settling down, having kids, and becoming families. It's an exciting time, for them and as well as for those of us who will be helping out when the little one comes along. I love gifting new parents with homemade presents for their darling babies, especially gifts that will grow with the child. I was looking for hat patterns the other day for a friend's baby and I came across the cutest knitted berry hat.
Now, I'm not as well-versed in knitting as I am crochet, but I do have several friends that knit and if I needed help, they'd be more than willing to walk me through it. This pattern isn't beginner friendly, but if you've spent some time working with fiber, you should be able to make this work for you.
You'll need to know how to use circular needles (the bane of my existence), knit on double pointed needles, knit two strands together as well as use two colors, how to read a chart, and how to weave in ends. If you're not exhausted by this point, my hat is off to you.
Of course, with this hat, you'll want to use soft materials, in worsted weight yarn. Whatever sort of berry you're making, real or imagined, be sure the colors for the leaves and fruit complement each other. You can try red and green for a strawberry or raspberry hat, a dark plum and green for a blackberry hat, or a bright orange and softer green for a more imaginative berry. There is also a note in the pattern that 100% cotton does not always wear well, and something mixed with wool will stretch and shape much better.
If you want to make a bigger hat, the pattern includes instructions for re-sizing in multiples of 8. You'll only be using the knit stitch with this hat, and five stitches together should equal one inch, if you want to try the gauge before starting on the hat. Materials for the project are 16″ circulars (US7 and US8), 5 double pointed needles (size US8), a stitch marker, a yarn needle, scissors, a measuring tape, and of course, worsted weight yarn in whatever colors you prefer.
If this sounds like something you'd love to make for the little one in your life, whether you're a family member or a friend (or the parent!), the written pattern, complete with chart, directions, and photos, is available as a free download from Michele Sabatier on Ravelry.
If you have not yet signed up for a free Ravelry account, I highly recommend joining. There are loads of free patterns as well as for-purchase patterns, and the search engine can be specialized to find exactly what you want for your next project. You can even store PDF patterns in your own personal library and keep track of what you want to make, what you have made, and how easy the patterns were. I love browsing the smaller patterns and working them up to bust my yarn stash.


In 2009 Rogue Creamery was inspired to create a sustainable bike commuter program in partnership by a local brewing company. The resulting Nellie Green Commuter Program offers team members a monthly incentive if they bike, walk, carpool, use public transportation or use a vehicle getting 50 mpg or greater. The required commitment is to commute to work 45 round trips (or 90 one way trips) during a one year time period. The federal energy department set a standard of 45 commutes regardless of distance, so Rogue Creamery uses those guidelines. If a team member completes the program, the bike is theirs to keep.
Today, more than half of Rogue Creamery's team participates in the Nellie Green Pedal Program, and in 2013 alone saved over 12,000 miles. It's a pretty serious commitment, and participants sign a rider's oath, promising to ride regularly, ride safely and to protect their bikes.
As Rogue Creamery grows, more people are joining. We have also inspired and assisted other like-minded businesses in adopting similar programs. Many companies in the Pacific Northwest have employees who commute regularly by bicycle. They save money, reduce their stress level and are generally healthier and happier than their car-bound counterparts.* Here's just a couple of the companies that have joined our ride: Rogue Credit Union, Cowgirl Creamery, and Rogue Ales.
Rogue Creamery supports biking in other ways, including contributing to the Portland Bike Program, where bikes are refurbished and given to kids. Rogue Creamery is also a sponsor for the People's Coast Classic, an Arthritis Foundation fundraiser and is a and food contributor to Cycle Oregon.
The Nellie Green Pedal Program is great for morale and inspires team members toward a healthier lifestyle in addition to freeing up funds that would have been spent on gas. We are helping the environment by reducing our carbon footprint and we invite others to consider green programs that promote a healthy lifestyle and planet. Contact Rogue Creamery at 866-665-1155 or info@roguecreamery.com to inquire about Rogue Creamery's Nellie Green Pedal Power program.

Q: PHP Correct way to call mysqli using Intelephense This code triggers my editor's intelephense for error:
/**
 * Connect to database
 */
public function link() {
    global $config; mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR);
    try {
        return new \mysqli($config['db_hostname'], $config['db_username'], $config['db_password'], $config['db_name']);
    } catch (\exception $e) {
        throw new \exception($e->getMessage(), $e->getCode());
    }
}

Expected 6 arguments. Found 4.intelephense(10005)

would it be fine if I just use:
return new \mysqli($config['db_hostname'], $config['db_username'], $config['db_password'], $config['db_name'],null,null);

Thank you all for answering; also deceze who corrected me on wrong way to catch exception;
this is edited code:
/**
 * Connect to database
 */
public function link() {
    global $config; mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR | MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT);
    try {
        return new \mysqli($config['db_hostname'], $config['db_username'], $config['db_password'], $config['db_name'], ini_get('mysqli.default_port'), ini_get('mysqli.default_socket'));
    } catch (\exception $e) {
        echo 'Cannot connect to a database server'; die();
    }
}

note ,this is for withing the class using namespaces...

A: The intelephense plugin uses the stubs from PhpStorm. The author already submitted a PR to fix this (and other functions with optional parameters): https://github.com/JetBrains/phpstorm-stubs/pull/520.
As soon as that's merged and the stubs are updated, you should no longer receive the problem reported in vscode.
There should be no need to change your constructor call, it is valid code and will execute without problems.

My goal is to read the JSON in the x_data variable and I do not know how to do it properly.
I though of :

*

*Convert to string and remove the first chars to the { and same for last }

*Use Regular Expression with something like '{.*}' and take the first group

*Something else ?

I don't know if these are efficient and if there is some other ways to do it in a nice way.
Do you think a method is preferable to the other ? any method I may not be aware of ?
Thank you in advance for any advice.
EDIT :
Following advice I get the Regexp solution but I can't search in multiple lines despite using re.MULTILINE :
string1 = '<script>
var x_data = {
    logged: logged,
    lengthcarrousel: 2,
    products : [
        {
                "serial" : "106541823"}
]
};
</script>'

p = re.compile(r'\{.*\};',re.MULTILINE);
m = p.search(string1)
if m:
    print m.group(0)
else:
    print "Error !"

I always got an "Error !".
EDIT2 :
Works well with re.DOTALL.

A: I think these methods are essentially the same in terms of elegance and performance (using {.*} may be slightly better because .* is greedy, i.e. there will be almost no backtracking, and because it seems to me more "forgiving" for different JS code formatting nuances). What you may be more interested in is this: https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/json.html.

A: If it always looks exactly like this, then you can hack a solution like the one you proposed, based on it looking exactly like this.
Because programmers do everything in code, I suspect in practice it will not alway look exactly this, and then any hacky solution will be fragile and will fail at unexpected (read "impossibly inconvenient") moments. (Regex is known to be hacky when it comes to parsing code).
If you want to do this right, you will need to get a real JavaScript parser, apply it to the code fragment defined by the script tag content, to produce an AST, then search the AST for JavaScript nested structures that happen to look like JSON, and take the content of that tree, prettyprinted.
Even this will be fragile in the face of a programmer who assembles the JSON fragment using JavaScript assignment statements.   You can handle this by computing data flow, and discovering sets of code that happen to assemble JSON code.   This is rather a lot of work.
So you get to decide what the limits on your solution will be, and then accept the consequences when somebody you don't control does something random.

Who won the crucial Power of Veto?
BIG BROTHER Wednesday, September 14, (8:00 – 9:00 PM ET/PT on the CBS Television Network and live streaming on Paramount+. Pictured: Big Brother Cast. Photo: CBS ©2022 CBS Broadcasting, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Highest quality screengrab available.
Brittany and Alyssa were on the block heading into this weeks episode of Big Brother, but did either of them win the Veto and save themselves from the block?
For this weeks competition, the houseguests are woken in the middle of the night to compete. Everyone gets to the backyard as quickly as they can with the exception of Monte who has a "routine" that he needs to go through which includes a shower.
As he arrived too late for the competition to begin, Big Brother disqualifies him from the comp, leaving him to watch from the sidelines.
This week, players have to get a broken cuckoo clock working by attaching 27 gears onto a puzzle board.
Monte desperately doesn't want Brittany to win the competition, declaring it a worse case scenario if she did.
Ultimately, however it comes down to Turner and Brittany who come close to finishing their puzzle, with Brittany ultimately winning her fourth Veto of the season!
"Don't mess with Brittany, I am here to stay" she declares in the Diary Room.
At the Veto meeting, Brittany of course uses the Veto to remove herself from the chopping block, leaving an open spot for Monte to name a replacement nominee – he names Taylor as that replacement.
As a result, Turner secures himself a place in the final 4 alongside Monte.
Who will be evicted from the Big Brother house? Find out Thursday night on CBS.

27 Jul Complix Announces Expanded Strategic Oncology Collaboration with MSD to Develop Cell-Penetrating Alphabodies
Posted at 09:00h in News	by	Complix
Hasselt, Belgium, July 27 2017 – Complix, a biopharmaceutical company developing a pipeline of transformative protein therapeutics, called Alphabodies™, for the treatment of cancer and severe autoimmune diseases, announced today that MSD (also known as Merck & Co., Inc., Kenilworth, NJ., USA, in the United States and Canada), through a subsidiary, has exercised its option for a second cancer target program, which triggers an option fee payment to Complix.
Under the terms of the agreement, which started in December 2015, Complix has been utilizing its proprietary Alphabody platform to deliver Cell Penetrating Alphabodies (CPABs) against the first of two intracellular cancer targets (with the second target under option). This research work has been funded by MSD, which has an option to the exclusive worldwide rights for any of the resulting candidates. On the basis of results obtained in the first target program MSD has now decided to exercise its option on the second target.
Dr Mark Vaeck, CEO of Complix, said: "MSD´s decision to exercise its option on a second target is a strong validation of our technology and expertise and the data we have generated to-date. We very much look forward to continuing our highly productive working relationship with MSD."
"Biologicals that are able to modulate intracellular disease targets with great precision and potency are now starting to attract interest in the pharmaceutical industry. We believe that Complix, based on our CPAB platform, is well positioned to become a global leader in generating a novel class of cancer therapeutics that can deliver a step change in treatment outcomes based on their ability to address key intracellular targets." Mark added.
Alongside its collaboration with MSD, Complix is also progressing its own cutting-edge pipeline of CPABs for the treatment of cancer, focusing on undruggable or complex intracellular targets. Its most advanced program addresses the intracellular protein MCL-1 which is an important regulator of cellular apoptosis implicated in a number of cancers including several types of hematological cancers. Initial in-vivo data generated with Complix´ anti-MCL-1 CPAB suggest this approach holds great promise for the development of a novel first-in-class therapeutic against this challenging target.
About CPABs
CPABs are a revolutionary class of small proteins that combine the advantages of antibodies, like high affinity and target specificity with some of the benefits of small chemicals, like extreme stability and cell penetration capacity. Data available show that CPABs have the potential to address a wide range of disease targets, including intracellular targets that are difficult for current therapies to reach. To date, Complix has shown that CPABs have the unique ability to enter tumor cells effectively and selectively modulate intracellular protein-to-protein interactions, which play a key role in the initiation and progression of a broad range of cancers. CPABs are also able to enter many different types of tumor cells and remain stable within the tumor tissue for up to 24 hours post administration.
Complix is a biopharmaceutical company developing a pipeline of novel biotherapeutics, called Alphabodies™, for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases.
Alphabodies are a revolutionary class of protein therapeutics that have the potential to address a wide range of disease targets, in particular intracellular targets that are considered undruggable by current drug formats, such as antibodies or small chemicals.
Complix´ current R&D efforts are focused on the development of Cell Penetrating Alphabodies (CPABs) that have demonstrated a unique capacity to enter tumor cells and tissues effectively and selectively modulate intracellular protein-to-protein interactions (PPIs), which play a key role in the initiation and progression of cancer.
In December 2015 Complix signed a strategic collaboration with MSD, through a subsidiary, to develop novel Alphabody based therapeutics against two intracellular cancer targets. Complix is eligible to receive up to $280 million in upfront and development and regulatory milestones as well as tiered mid-single digit royalties on global sales revenues.
Since its founding in 2008 Complix has raised a total of more than €27 million in venture financing.

Tableview is a very common UI element used to display data in table row format. It is used to display information as organised section and row format.
Lets have a window where we will define a table and will add few rows to it.
On above code we have added a window tag which will have all the UI elements. Then to display table Alloy have TableView tag which can have TableViewRow tag used to display individual rows.
Row data that need to display on row have to assign as a title property of TableViewRow tag.
So here we have seen how easily we can display data as a table with rows in our crossplatform application.


To locate a towed car, first determine whether it was towed from a public street or from private property. Then contact the appropriate company to retrieve your impounded vehicle.

View of the city from the top of Saint Peter's Church
> Munich
> View of the city from the top of Saint Peter's Church
The oldest church in Munich offers a breath-taking view of the city from the top of its belfry.
In the historic district of Munich stands the bell tower of St. Peter's Church. The locals prefer to call it Alter Peter or 'Old Peter', since it is the oldest church in the city. Built between the 11th and 12th centuries on Petersberg hill, it has suffered with the throes of history and has had to be rebuilt many times. You thus visit a Gothic sanctuary with a Baroque heart. The central bell tower was rebuilt in 1386, in the place of two original towers that had collapsed.
Inside, you can see the relics of St. Munditia, a Christian martyr, whose skeleton is covered with gold and precious jewels. To reach the top of the belfry, you will have to climb 300 steps, but once you reach the top, you will not regret it. The observatory offers a panoramic view of all of Munich, especially the old town and the Frauenkirche. If the weather is clear, you can even see the peaks of the Alps.

A Film Foregrounds the First Nations Fight Against Fracking
On Saturday, Fractured Lands, a documentary about the Dene activist and lawyer Caleb Behn, will screen at the National Museum of the American Indian.

The Canadian province of British Columbia is rich in natural resources, from gold to natural gas. In recent years, oil and gas companies have literally flooded the region, shooting water underground to increase pressure and force natural gas to the surface — or "fracking." But First Nations communities, which have lived in the area for generations, rely on clean water for their livelihood. Many, including a Dene resident named Caleb Behn, have joined forces with environmentalists to limit development.
Behn is the subject of Fractured Lands, a 2015 documentary that will screen on Saturday at the National Museum of the American Indian in New York. He has fought gas prospecting not only as an activist, but also as a lawyer, all the while maintaining a personal connection to the land. "Anybody who can throw a hatchet and sue you is a force to be reckoned with," says Bill McKibben, the environmentalist and writer, in the trailer for the film.
Behn will be present for a discussion after the screening. In the film, he has an eloquence that has helped Canadians understand his point of view. "First they came for the trees, they came for the gold, they came for the fur," he told one audience in the film. "They came for the children, they came for the oil, they came for the gas. Then they started taking the water, and they're using the water to fracture the bones of Mother Earth."
When: Saturday, April 21, 2–4pm
Where: Heye Center, National Museum of the American Indian (1 Bowling Green, Financial District, Manhattan)

Politkovskaya on "Putin's Russia"
"These are my emotional reactions, jotted down in the margins of life as it is lived in Russia today. --- I live in the present, noting down what I see." This declaration is the outset of Anna Politkovskaya's Putin's Russia (London: Harvill Press, 2004). It is an important and urgent book that Politkovskaya has written, where her unfettered subjectivity is both a strength and a weakness. Thereby, she puts the reader to the test of dealing with his own subjectivity in relation to current Russia. One approach is to read the book as Politkovskaya's Russia rather than as Putin's Russia. Those who want to learn more about Putin are also in for a disappointment.
Politkovskaya is an icon in the international media coverage of Russia. It is hard not to join the ranks of those paying homage to her. In Putin's Russia the standard of quality has also risen in comparison to her two previous books on the Chechen conflict. The book is fascinating and seducing reading about the cancer that, according to Politkovskaya, is growing in the corpus of Russian society. Thus, she develops the theme from previous works, though on a wider scale.
How does she describe Putin's Russia? The author, at an early stage, underlines that "This book is not an analysis of Putin's politics." Instead, focus is put on individual fates and processes, claiming to be representative of the state of the nation. Are Politkovskaya's cases representative of current Russia? If so, are they correctly accounted for? These questions are unavoidable, as the cases form into an accusation against Putin, climaxing in a final judgement of this "Akaky Akakievich" of our times. Thus, Politkovskaya cannot avoid scrutiny simply because she "dislikes him." She demands justice and cannot content herself with the president as a symptom of the malaise sociale of the Russian body proper. Chechnya, Dubrovka, Beslan - that would have been enough. Instead, Putin appears both effect and cause of Russia's moral decline - from excesses and injustices to corruption and bandit capitalism. Putin is guilty, if for no other reason, that he lets it happen. He symbolises the self-continuation of repressive power - the symbiosis of the nomenklatura and the noveaux Russes in a hybrid of old and new. Putin represents the continuity of a system that contempts the people, is Politkovskaya's message. At the same time, Putin is absent from Politkovskaya's story. He is a minor character, that still in the end should assume all guilt because "He despises us." These feelings are mutual. Politkovskaya badly covers her despise of Putin, perhaps mostly motivated by that "chance has enabled [him] to clamber to the top of the pile." This sacrilege seems a crime in itself. What about reality - the individual cases that are to prove this guilt?
The desperate struggle against the system of a soldier's mother to reclaim the corpse of her fallen son - Pavel - is contrasted by the same system's struggle to acquit the "war hero" - Budanov - from charges of war crime. While the account of the "Pavel" case is both authentic and characteristic, one might ask whether the "Budanov" case is representative. The use of psychiatry is e.g. put forth as the last straw for the system to rationalise Budanov's crimes. The parallel to the political psychology of the soviet system that Politkovskaya thereby draws, however, poorly corresponds to current realities. Particularities are not equivalent to systematics, no matter how much one might wish so. The state of the army is, contrarily, an area that Politkovskaya masters. She gets her message through with precision: Man is nothing against the dehumanised military system. The loyal and honest are ignored or crushed by the system. "The nail that sticks out shall be hit down."
One is met by the daily struggle of a submarine commander for his own and his family's survival while he still faithfully serves the navy he has dedicated his life to. The old veteran Ivanov is found dead - frozen to the floor of his apartment. The state and the military never cared about them. People are but cogs and wheels of the machinery from cradle to grave. Yeltsin capitulated to the generals and Putin - the officer - has never even tried to reform the army, Politkovskaya claims. She is right about the culture, but as for politics she is naïve. Putin's aim is power and control of the army that he - as an old chekist - fundamentally distrusts. This is struggle - not capitulation.
By the example of Yekaterinburg, Politkovskaya illustrates how the system unites capitalism and criminality, justice and politics in a system of comprehensive corruption. Yekaterinburg is admittedly infamous, but even when going to extremes, the general theme is familiar. The symbiosis between power and money on local and national levels is nothing that will make the reader raise his eyebrow. This image of Russia is already there. As long as the market does not bother power, it is left in peace.
It is, however, when one enters Russian daily life that Politkovskaya is at her best. One is met by the old neighbour Tanya, who has rid herself of her husband and become a likewise successful as ruthless businesswoman. This mediocrity hardens herself and survives. At the other end of the spectrum, we find the gifted - Misha - who has passed from alocohol to murder, from prison to Orthodoxy, to finally throw himself in front of the metro as a gesture to nobody. In these parts, the inner decline and indifference of man and society are painted in its brightest colours.
That Putin's Russia is captivating does not mean that one should uncritically embrace the picture Politkovskaya paints. The rage, indignation and temperament is already familiar and here reaches its peak. Politkovskaya is furious with social evils and misuse of power, with the state of man and morale. It is disturbing that she seeks no alternative explanations, no conciliatory traits. The world is divided between rulers and ruled, perpetrator and victim, black and white. Politkovskaya's critical position is clear. There is nothing wrong with that. Her position is, however, not only personal but also journalistic. Therefore, one must ask: Is Putin's Russia good journalism? The answer is both in the positive and the negative. The kind of socially and politically engaged journalism that Politkovskaya represents has been lost in the West. Her brutal sincerity can be compared to the coarse realism of the American 1930's and "muckraking". Politkovskaya displays snapshots of reality as she sees it. The book cover sends a clear message: Distanced from realities of the people, Putin is merely seen behind the drapers of power.
Stilistically, the text is screaming of a disharmony that can only be met by the reality that it shows. Regrettably, she describes it - with the zeal of the wronged - in too much detail and at too great length. There is a lack of stringency.
How sources are dealt with is also problematic. What is first-, second- or thirdhand sources? How are they assessed and evaluated? Are they correctly represented and in the right context? Can sources be controlled? The research is enormous and there is nothing wrong with the material. It is all very credible, but at the same time, Politkovskaya's unfettered subjectivity demands a higher standard of veracity. To believe in her is not enough. Would anyone else have been able to write the same and would conclusions be similar?
That Politkovskaya is a child of soviet journalism is also clearly displayed by the fact that she seldom lets the reader draw his own conclusions. One has to tell the people what it should think. Politkovskaya is equally masterful in writing and mastering her readers.
To conclude, to whom does Politkovskaya appeal? She does not reach the Russian public. The book is not published in Russia. A western audience is at the centre, but Politkovskaya is desillutioned with being able to influence western policy towards Russia. Neither does she appeal to power - she depsises it. A higher power that sets all things right is not in her liking. The answer is perhaps as simple as: "listen he, who wants to!" Politkovskaya also deserves listeners. Putin's Russia is a persuasive and credible account with a pressing message for students and public alike. But "things surely cannot be that bad," one is asked at the outset. Turning the last page, one is left with the feeling that it really is much worse.
Russia, Putin, Politkovskaya

Excellent and well written review. I'm not sure if it compels me to read the book, however.
Very interesting observation about soviet journalism style telling the reader what to think. I had often noticed this in Russian and CIS newspapers - news stories often read like what I expect an opinion column to say here in the US. Ideas or conceptions are given as facts, there is very little citation of figures or sources. The opposing viewpoint is very rarely part of the article. In politics here in the US, it is almost unheard of for Bush to give a speech and statement without counterpoints made by Democrats, and reinforced points made by fellow Republicans. When I try to discuss this topic with native Russians, I'm often met with resistance or misunderstanding of what I am trying to point out.
I was glad to see that another set of eyes had noticed this pattern, and had a specific source for its origins.
Vilhelm Konnander said...
Dear Mr. Shedd,
As we are almost certain to get a comment pointing to the concept of "sobornost" or something similar, I hasten to point this out myself. Sources of Slavic or Russian traditions of unanimity and intolerance to dissent are as unclear as they are many. I have my own views on this matter, which I am not going to bore you with now.
What is interesting with Politkovskaya is her clear identity as a dissident truth-teller that still is so Russian in that she simply cannot let people make up their own minds. In the same way as Putin is the power in Russia, she is the authority on Putin. This makes one think it all over once more when looking at Politkovskaya.
Is she an advocate of liberal democracy? If so, mustn't she herself live up to those ideals, e.g. in founding her accusations against Putin?
On reading Politkovskaya, I would still recommend it for you. It is fascinating, though one must mind oneself not to fall into the pit of leaving ones critical mind aside.
I may be completely off here, but I believe that Politkovskaya was the reporter poisoned on her flight to Beslan during the tragedy. I don't know how it was resolved, but it certainly shook me at the time.
I was in St. Petes when this all happened and we heard the news on Radio Svoboda.
Dear Anna,
No, you are not the least off. It is very likely that Politkovskaya really got poisoned - probably by the security service (FSB) - on her way to mediate in the Beslan hostage crisis. As far as I remember, she got a cup of tea with something fishy in it, and afterwards collapsed and was brought to hospital. The inexplicable poisoning was just enough to hinder her from going to Beslan. It is obvious that someone did not want her there, as was also the case with some other representatives of the press.

We are joining McGuffy's Reader's Sparks, Comedy Plus' Awww….Mondays, Book Date's It's Monday! What Are YOU Reading? and Curious as a Cathy's Mewsic Moves Me blog hops. We love to hop!
We just finished Lessons from Stanley the Cat by Jennifer Freed. Psychotherapist, Jennifer Freed writes about lessons she learned from her beloved cat, Stanley. This book was published in 2010 so you can get a cheap used copy on Amazon. My Spark is one of his lessons, "Do not let any bad comments or derision bother you. Consider negativity as passing gas." Very wise advice.
I have never seen a Twilight movie, but I love this song.


At the beginning of November I challenged myself to send an email every weekday for a whole month. And I made it!
Originally I gave myself this challenge because I was feeling uninspired. When it came to writing for my own list I was drawing a blank. I wanted to push myself to get creative and start having fun with email again.
But to be completely transparent…I was a little nervous to start sending so many emails. I wasn't sure how my list would react, especially since people weren't used to hearing from me so often.
So silly, right?! How many times have I told you to stop letting fear hold you back and just send the email?
Last month I took my own advice. I hit send 22 times. Here's what happened.
I expected a spike in unsubscribes, both because of the number of emails and the amount of promotion I was doing in each email.
Over the course of the month I had 32 people unsubscribe. That works out to about 1.45 per email.
It was way less than I was expecting. Looking back at the history of my list, I've had anywhere from 0 to 10 unsubscribes per email. So 1-2 unsubscribes per email isn't bad at all!
I also I got my first complaint email this month. She told me I was hitting too hard, coming across as too salesy, and wearing out my list.
But…she was the only person to complain. I was expecting more pushback, but my subscribers seemed to like the new direction!
Overall, the feedback from my list was positive. I had people replying to my emails, asking questions, and thanking me for sharing the content.
But the best thing to come out of this is that I'm feeling inspired again! I started this wondering how I was going to come up with ideas for a whole month of content. I was sure I would run out of ideas before the end.
But I didn't. Every day it seems like I get 2-3 new ideas for emails. I've got a whole file of ideas I can pick from any time I've got an email to write. It's made the whole process easier and way more fun.
Now that the challenge is over, I don't know if I'll keep up the daily emails forever. But I'll still email my list several times a week.
If you enjoyed my emails in November, I hope you stick around for what's next!
