A Shared Love of Film: Brandon Collins and Justin Brown on "Medium Popcorn"
By Entertainer 30. January 2017
Medium Popcorn (Ni**as Spoiling Movies) is a weekly podcast where, as the title bluntly lays out, two black guys have a spirited, detailed conversation about a movie they've just seen. Luckily, those two guys, Justin Brown and Brandon Collins, also inject enough unpredictable humor in their talks to have you cackling like an idiot throughout an episode.
Both New York-based comics and actors (Brown even had a bit part in "The Dark Knight Rises"), Collins (who also co-hosts the Comedy Outliers podcast with Mike Brown—no relation!) and Brown are two pals who rarely discuss films in a pedantic, scholarly manner. Instead, they have the sort of hilarious, back-and-forth, bull sessions you'd usually have with friends about movies. It's that feeling of listening in on a couple of buddies shoot the shit about flicks that makes Popcorn such an addictive pleasure.
RogerEbert.com recently talked with Brown, 32, and Collins, 30, about the highs and lows they've experienced so far since launching Popcorn a year and a half ago.
First off, we gotta talk about the theme, where Justin adds his own lyrics over Philip Bailey and Phil Collins's "Easy Lover." Aren't you afraid the Phils are gonna find out and bring the hammer down on you two?
Justin Brown: First off, we love Phil Collins—best drumming in the business! But we've definitely thought about him finding out about our theme song for a bit, especially with the number of downloads constantly increasing and the word getting out about the show.
Brandon Collins: But we hope we'll either be protected under the argument that it is a "parody," so we can't be sued, or that the Phils love Justin's velvet voice so much that they let it slide.
Where did the idea for Medium Popcorn originally come from?
BC: I was initially doing the show on my own but felt weird just ranting and raving about movies with no one to play off of. Justin had been looking into starting his own podcast, so I mentioned him joining me as a co-host for this show and it just clicked. We are used to speaking about the most insane things, so adding movies to the equation was relatively easy. At first, we did it on a bi-weekly basis, but when listenership started picking up and the demand increased, we changed it to weekly to satisfy our fans.
It seems there are no rules when it comes to which movies you'll review. You'll review a new movie like "Moonlight," or you'll go back twenty years and review something like "Good Burger." Is there anything you won't review?
JB: Maybe a Tyler Perry film—just kidding! We're an equal-opportunity podcast. We take a lot of suggestions from our diverse group of fans, which takes us through all of the genres of film.
BC: We like the unpredictability of the show because you never know what film we're going to talk about next.
How did you guys come up with the "popcorn-and-dogshit" rating?
JB: The popcorn ratings came pretty naturally with Small = not very good, Medium = decent, Large = great, XLarge = excellent, etc. The dogshit rating was born out of the films we have reviewed that were so bad we couldn't find any other words to describe them besides "dogshit." That scale is from 1 to 3 piles of dogshit. Those are the movies that test our sanity.
Both of you give off the impression of being hardcore fanboys, not only reviewing comic-book movies and franchises, but doing news about those movies at the top of the show. And, yet, you have no problem bad-mouthing these films when you feel they are bad. Have you gotten any hate from fanboys when you negatively review these films?
BC: Quite the opposite. A lot of fanboys actually hit us up via Twitter or email to inquire about our thoughts on castings, trailers and recent movie news. This is why we continue to include this information when we can when recording new episodes.
What have been the best/worst eps?
BC: I think our best episode by far was "Good Burger." The fact that the movie drove Justin to go on a two-minute rant about "Ed's Sauce" and how much he hated the film gave me nothing but glee. Our worst episode was probably "Lady Ghostbusters", just due to the overall feedback we've received about it.
JB: Well, I'm 1000% with Brandon about the "Ghostbusters" episode. That went so wrong on so many levels. But, for me, my favorites are "Showgirls" and "Boogie Nights." We had some great conversations with our guests, which gave insights to worlds we all just speculate and assume about. Great stories and experiences were shared on those episodes and, to me, that's invaluable.
When you reviewed the new "Ghostbusters," it got some negative feedback, mostly because you invited a guest (comic Ray Gootz) who hadn't seen the film but still slammed it. When did you realize that this was a mistake?
BC: About five minutes into recording that episode. When the guy was kind of foaming at the mouth about his hatred for the film and the humor in it, but also revealed that he didn't see the film, we both looked at each other like, "Uh-oh." But not every guest is going to be a winner, and we have definitely worked to ensure that the future guests fit into what Justin and I like about the show. Obviously, we're not going to always agree with our guests, but we definitely make sure that all of our guests have at least seen the film we'll be discussing.
JB: I think that episode was doomed the moment we decided to review that movie. It was such a polarizing film that I think we were going to get backlash either way we went. Then, adding on a guest who hadn't seen the film and was bullish on woman really didn't help the cause.
Most recently, you guys reviewed "Fences" and Justin discussed how the movie reminded him of his upbringing and his relationship with his father. It gave the ep some revealing & illuminating depth. Is that something you hope movies bring out of you as you're reviewing them?
BC: Absolutely. Some of the films we discuss definitely touch a nerve, and we've been close enough with each other to bring up those feelings on the show. I had a similar moment when I discussed my relationship with my mother while we were reviewing "Moonlight." It's likely that we'll continue to always draw from personal experiences when we discuss future films.
JB: While we have a lot of fun on our show, it's also good to connect. We'd be doing a disservice if we shied away from having real discussions about topics and how it affects/affected us personally, even more so as two men of color because it's a bit uncommon for black men to really reveal certain parts of their life. We try to be as real and transparent as possible.
Have there been movies you reviewed on the show that took you by surprise, either in a good or bad way?
BC: I was surprised by how bad "The Accountant" was, given how much praise people were giving it on social media. It was a very strange action film where Ben Affleck looked pained to be there.
JB: For me, it was "Beasts of No Nation". I guess, at that point, I really didn't take Netflix properties that seriously—but that movie really floored me.
Both of you have been known to give off a pervy vibe when you talk about your favorite actresses. You even talk in breathy, creepy tones. Have you gotten any blowback from that?
BC: We did briefly after the "Ghostbusters" episode, because we had gotten a huge influx of new listeners from being guests on The Black Guy Who Tips and, at first glance, thought that we were overly creepy.
JB: We pulled it back a bit because we were getting a bit over the top but it seems like our audience really gets what we're saying when we—cough*Brandon*cough—occasionally go extra creepy about actresses. But we think our listeners know that it's mostly in jest.
Then again, there have also been episodes, like the "Dante's Peak" ep where Justin calls Pierce Brosnan a "gorgeous British man," where you give the guys some love. Have you gotten any feedback from that?
BC: Have ya seen Pierce in "Dante's Peak"?! We haven't really gotten any feedback on commenting on sexy British men but we do get encouraging emails from listeners when we discuss films like "Moonlight," because we give a balanced view on romance and sex from two heterosexual men that they seem to appreciate, even when we get silly at times. Don't even get Justin started on how much he adores Tyson Beckford.
In reviewing movies, especially contemporary movies, have there been things you've picked up that you wished filmmakers would eradicate, include or work on more?
JB: Well, not to beat a dead horse, but diversity is definitely still an issue, and maybe shortening the films. Because Lord knows not everything has to be over two hours. But, mostly, we want filmmakers to make sure that they're actually telling a story and that the film does the story justice. Sometimes studios get caught up with special effects and the biggest actor and lose sight of why people go to the movies, which is to get a great story.
Have you gotten any response regarding the whole "Ni**as Spoiling Movies" thing?
BC: Nothing except the occasional "Can ya'll say that?" when we are guests on other people's podcasts and they say our entire podcast name. We sometimes have to have a conversation with other folks about who we feel comfortable saying the entire name aloud. The full show title might not help us get sponsored by Nickelodeon, but we laugh so hard every time we play the theme song before recording an episode.
JB: In the future, it may be referred to as just Medium Popcorn, but we'd be doing the world a disservice if we changed the song. So it's likely not going anywhere soon.
You've had an interesting selection of guests: podcasters, porn stars, strippers, Brandon's own girlfriend. Are there any people you'd like to have on the show?
BC: We'd love to have a pro-wrestler or a rapper on the show. We could do so many good or terrible films with those types of guests. That's what we love about the show, because we can either do an acclaimed film or a complete dogshit film depending on how we feel that week!
Can Justin give us a quick Dark Knight Rises story?
JB: Craig, there are no quick "Dark Knight Rises" stories. Soooo much happened in those few days! I mean, a man died at stunt training. I dealt with crazy people who were convinced this was their big break. Christian Bale in the suit looked like he was performing at a child's birthday party. And, then, there's the Bane stunt double who was a savage man without a nose. But I think i know what the people wanna hear. I was part of the scene where all the cops and thugs charge each other and engage in a massive brawl. Well, I clash in the middle with some of the actors playing cops and start some basis stunt choreography. When someone dressed as a cop grabs me by the shoulder and punches me with everything he has clear in the face, I ate the punch and tried to be professional as anyone could slip. But by the time I start to turn my head back to him, he punches me in the stomach. The second one for sure wasn't a mistake, so I was ready to brawl. But this S.O.B. disappears into the crowd before I could get him, as he was dressed the same as 300 other people. Therefore, I spent the rest of the day being an angry psycho lunatic thirsting for vengeance. Random cop puncher, if you're out there—I'm looking for you!
And what do you want people to take with them after listening to Medium Popcorn?
BC: We want them to have a good laugh. The amazing thing about the podcast is that we have this crazy array of fans who, despite various differences, come together with our show because of our shared love of film.

Nordstrom to donate $1m to textile recycling innovation, reduce single-use plastics under new sustainability goals
Department store chain operator Nordstrom has announced five new environmental sustainability goals, including setting a science-based target to reduce greenhouse gas emission and reducing its use of single-use plastic by 50%, in honor of Earth Day.
Instagram @nordstrom
The company said its new efforts place a particular focus on tackling climate change, the environmental impact of its products and services and circularity.
In addition to setting a science-based target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reducing its single-use plastic by 50%, Nordstrom has also set goals to use sustainably sourced raw materials in 50% of Nordstrom Made products made of polyester, cotton and cellulosic fibers; extend the life of 250 tons of clothing; ensure 15% of all product is considered sustainable; and donate $1 million to support textile recycling innovation.
Nordstrom said it aims to meet its new goals by 2025.
The retailer has cut back on single-use plastic, and will begin phasing out plastic bags from its more than 245 Nordstrom Rack stores beginning this year.
In order to further meet its new goals, the company has also has granted $100,000 to The Nature Conservancy, a charitable environmental organization working to conserve nature across six continents, and has joined The Ellen MacArthur Foundation's Make Fashion Circular initiative and the Sustainable Packaging Coalition.
As an additional boost to its new sustainability goals, Nordstrom has also added new sustainable beauty products to its assortment of products available on Nordstrom.com and the Nordstrom app. These new products are made from sustainably sourced ingredients, use minimal and more responsible packaging, are manufactured in factories that meet higher social or environmental standards or that give back.
"Through this Covid-19 crisis, we've been given a unique opportunity to reimagine our future and rethink what kind of company we want to be for our customers, employees and shareholders," said Pete Nordstrom, president and chief brand officer at Nordstrom Inc.
"It's clear that to deliver value to our stakeholders and communities, environmental sustainability needs to be a priority for our company. We're proud of the progress we've made to date but are also the first to admit we've got a long way to go. We're pushing ourselves to be a better company and are pleased to share these sustainability goals as part of our first step on this new journey."
Not untouched by the impact of the Covid-19 outbreak, Nordstrom made headlines earlier this month when it temporarily shut down its corporate headquarters in Seattle as the coronavirus spread in the area.

Airbnb: impact on Sydney and Melbourne housing markets
Sydney, Melbourne
Sector/s:
Service/s:
Australian-first study using official Airbnb data shows it has minimal impact on the Sydney and Melbourne housing markets.
We worked with Airbnb to analyse their host data to understand the impact of this service on the Sydney and Melbourne housing markets. The report we developed was the first in Australia to use official Airbnb data.
Airbnb listings represent a very small proportion of the total dwelling market across both Sydney and Melbourne. In 2017, there were approximately 25,000 guest host listings in Sydney and 14,500 in Melbourne. 15,200 listings were for entire homes or apartments in Sydney (which represents 0.9 per cent of all Sydney dwellings), while 8,500 entire homes or apartments were listed in Melbourne (0.5 per cent of all dwellings).
The hosting rate of Airbnb listings in Sydney and Melbourne averages less than 50 per cent. This means that each listing has a less than 50 per cent chance of being booked.
the median number of nights hosted per listing per year increased from 18 in 2014 to 20 in 2017
almost 60 per cent of listings that hosted guests were booked for up to 30 nights per year, and
only 10 per cent (less than 2,500 listings) hosted guests for more than 180 nights per year.
the median number of nights hosted per year increased from 42 in 2014 to 66 in 2017
over 35 per cent of listings that have hosted guests were booked for up to 30 nights per year, and
approximately 27 per cent of listings hosted guests for more than 180 nights per year.
"Broadly speaking, it is not financially beneficial to host property on Airbnb instead of renting to a long-term tenant. It appears that renting has higher expected takings over the time period of a standard lease agreement. It is only more profitable to list a property on Airbnb full-time rather than on the rental market in a small number of cases. For example, in Melbourne City, where the hosting rate is around 70 per cent."

Direct and Inverse Comorbidities Between Complex Disorders

A quarter of patients present multiple health problems; More than half of those with a chronic disorder. However, the role of comorbidity (co-occurrence of two diseases) or multimorbidity (co-occurrence of two or more diseases) in medical research and practice is relatively unexplored in comparison to that of individual diseases. Complex disorders, arising from the combined effect of multiple genes and their interactions with the environment, including cancers, neurological disorders or endocrine diseases, are leading causes of global disease burden and mortality. A better understanding of the connections and interactions between these disorders could improve the quality of life and healthcare outcome of millions worldwide.
The development of large-scale genomics and proteomics methods, large medical databases and new systems biology approaches, now allows us to examine complex disorder relationships. There is, for example, an ongoing debate on the associations between cancers and CNS disorders. Certain combinations of cancers and CNS disorders co-occur more while others co-occur less often than expected by chance. Multiple Sclerosis for instance, is associated with a higher risk of developing brain tumors, pointing to a direct comorbidity between these diseases. Contrarily, numerous epidemiological and clinical studies revealed that Parkinson's or Alzheimer's diseases seem to lower the risk of developing certain forms of cancer, including solid or smoking-related tumors. This apparent protective anticancer effect, which we have termed 'inverse cancer comorbidity', seems to be produced by many serious central nervous system and immune disorders.
We believe that a better understanding of the direct and inverse comorbidities between complex disorders could improve the diagnosis, prognosis and knowledge on the molecular bases leading to the emergence of these diseases and could direct drug repositioning. For instance, understanding why people with certain CNS disorders are protected against certain forms of cancer could be the key to finding novel treatments for both conditions.
In this Frontiers Research Topic, we wish to explore the different research fields and interdisciplinary approaches that will have an impact on the study of comorbidities. Epidemiological and clinical population studies can reveal statistical associations between complex disorders. Bioinformatics, with the integrative analysis of massive post-genomic data, offers an interesting avenue for the understanding of comorbidities while studying, for instance, the participation of genes at the level of pathways and networks. Molecular biology can address the molecular mechanisms that could account for comorbidities at the cellular level. Finally, all these interdisciplinary approaches are linked by the shared final goal of finding new drugs and improving medical care.
We welcome and encourage submission of original papers, scholarly reviews, comments and hypotheses about any aspect of nosology, epidemiology, genomics, bioinformatics, clinical and overall systems medicine of direct and inverse comorbidities in people with complex disorders.

A one week climbing trip for Mr Arnold and myself. Ideally a longer trip would have been booked but such are the limitations of Asian annual leave. Neither one of us have been in particular climbing "shape" for pushing our boundaries, with my recent period of rehab for my back, and lack of time and enough sleep on both our parts to fit in proper sessions at our local wall. Nevertheless, we were very keen to explore unknown territory we had heard so much about from friends and relished the opportunity to climb, as nature intended, on real rock for a few days. For the last many months, my focus has been on maintaining and developing a better base level of fitness for climbing to limit the risk of and intensity of injuries. Also, being ethnically of half Chinese origin (Dad being Thai, of Chinese descent), this would be my first foray into experiencing actual mainland China, a country of rich ancient history but that in its recent decades is cause for more than a few conflicting perspectives, putting it mildly. I have friends in China, mostly from university, had many professional colleagues and also looked after many young aspiring careerists in Beijing in my former corporate time-all aspiring, hopeful and passionate individuals-but never got the chance to visit. This is a tad longer than your average blog post, but an honest and personal account.
All started well with a pleasant flight from Singapore to Hong Kong. Our travel up to mainland China's Shenzhen-where we were to get the train-was a little slower than hoped, and things started to get manic around the Futian check point, where you cross the border from SAR HK to China proper. Thousands of people were crossing here, mostly mainland Chinese returning home with bags of supplies from HK: a sense of "human cattle farm" environment was intensifying. As we headed to the immigration point, overseen by tens of armed guards and men in white coats, Thom was suddenly pulled aside and directed against the flow of human traffic towards a small room, me following in concerned tow. A thermometer was promptly thrust under his arm by a masked nurse and he was directed to spit into a cup whilst handing over his passport. Many forms were filled in and chatter in the back rooms and after much lingering, the nurse returned with an official requesting Thom to pee into a cup and that they will take a blood sample, claiming he was showing signs of sickness and it was for national protection: they weren't going to let us pass if we didn't comply. Thom wasn't sick. We weren't sure what was best to do. If we didn't at minimum see a fresh needle pulled out of an unopened packet, we were bailing. Also by now, our train from Shenzhen North station, another 30 minutes away, was due to leave in 20 minutes. A fresh needle was pulled out thankfully, and Thom's vein was suitably double punctured as the blood was drawn leaving him with what would be a bloody, bruise-y mess down his forearm as a colourful reminder of his first visit to China. We were ushered out and told we would be fine if it tests didn't show him to be sick-If he was, they would be coming for him. Bloody Hell. We tentatively made our way through immigration, unfortunately to the gut wrenching sounds of a man screaming as they were being beaten repeatedly behind a white screen. China, was providing an unnerving welcome.
We loaded onto the next subway ride of sardines to Shenzhen North: having missed our ticketed bullet train, we hoped we could catch one of the next few in order to make our necessary connection at Guangzhou and head on to Yangshuo. No such luck. Arriving at the station we had to join the mass queues for the ticket desks (there are electronic machines specifically for the use of Chinese people only, clearly signed, but NOBODY was using them). Queuing for nearly an hour, with much aggressive exchange ensuing at the front of the line, as I approached the window no less than 3 shouting men shoved in front of me. It took quite a firm stance and tone to get them to stop. We could get another late train to Guangzhou South, but there would be no more connecting trains to Yangshuo. We were issued a new ticket to Guangzhou but had to buy new tickets to get to Yangshuo the following day. Oh and if we wanted to get a refund for the unusable Yangshuo ticket we had to go and queue in another line. For another half an hour. With more shouty people.
We headed on to the bullet train to Guangzhou South and arrived in what can only be described as some leviathan spaceship planted on the earth. The place was a gargantuan cavern with tens of lines for different bullet trains, flashing lights, sirens and repeating announcements. We could barely get a stable wifi connection to find a reasonable place to stay. That's the first convenience that goes when you come to China-your regular use of the internet. It is heavily censored but even with VPNs your connection speed grinds to a halt. It was some genuine fortune I connected with my dear friend Rob via intermittent messages, enough for him to send details of a reasonable looking room he reserved on my behalf near the station. Crossing multiple 5 lane wide roads-that were mostly empty save randomly strewn, people-less vehicles on their sides and broken pavement, we wandered through the dark, huge, yet barren area to our place of stay- a semi finished building, mostly covered in renovation sheets along its hallways to a surprisingly clean, dry space to sleep for the night before getting up early to catch our morning train.
Entering the spaceship again, we were greeted by the continuing blaring automated announcements and lights (I am not sure they ever stopped). Queueing for some coffee a young woman careered into me sideways with her trolley of luggage to get in front of me with a "why are YOU in my way" expression. By now, the Chinese brash aspect of culture was not sitting too agreeably. My Dad & Thai family, along with millions of Chinese ethnic origin Thais are polite and mild mannered. The Thai way is one of saving face, not raising your voice, even amidst the crazy bustle of Bangkokian life. They maintain a calm amongst the apparent hysteria. The Thai-Chinese way is a far cry from the Chinese-Chinese way which was showing itself to be one of high volume, chaos. The bullet train smoothed out the senses somewhat: 300km/h felt more like a gentle float out of the expanse of city into vastness of green hills and fields. Yangshuo station is about an hours drive from Yangshuo. The station is approached/departed by essentially dirt track roads, which seemed peculiar given the modernity and stature of the station construction. We meandered through villages and grey skies, towering peaks either side. A quick pass through the peripheries of Yangshuo town - jostling with activity, the air more of a dusty veil - brought us to our place of stay south of the town near the river. Kind, helpful and sympathetic faces were a sincere welcome to the previous 30 hours.
The Hidden Dragon Villa is set just out of Yangshuo itself and overlooks farming fields along the riverside, with water buffalo, chickens and ducks, the infamous Yangshuo peaks striking in the immediate horizon. Despite the beautiful setting, a dusty haze clings to everything. We headed soon after our arrival to the nearest easy access crag, Lei Pi Shan: Although set by the loud road, the small crag offers some of the renowned harder 7c-8b routes that many venture to tick off. I managed to catch a some Brits, James and Hamish, whom I had been sporadically communicating with in the run up to the trip (which is always one of the joys of the randomly connected climbing community-Hamish incidentally had already climbed for long periods with both my brother and cousin in Thailand earlier in the year). They were battling hard to send their 7c (Thunder) and 8a (Single Life) projects. In the mix were a strong set of Chinese, Korean and American climbers. We only had a couple of hours of daylight so played on a couple of very higgledy piggledy routes, but also a lovely straightforward 7a (Crash & Burn) and 7b (Singularity).
The following day we made our way to Yangshuo town to grab a guide book and rent a scooter. Yangshuo and its surrounds, is polluted and heaving. The roads are a circus, with scooters weaving between cars or in the opposite direction to traffic, lorries overtaking in the opposing lanes and masses of locals and tourists alike nonchalantly cycling, walking and pulling carts into flowing traffic, across junctions and roundabouts. Smaller more charming and nostalgic motor tractors carrying goods and farming supplies trundle slowly. Call it the Chinese luck that keeps everyone alive. Yangshuo also seems to be in a state of continuous construction, with systems including tearing up the pavement of both sides of main street first, and then building it bit by bit second, leaving the majority of the street shops with ladder access only up to their fronts from the sloped pits below. There is a perpetual smell of burning (including plastic) and fuel, the dust and fumes are overwhelming, a layer coating most surfaces. The elderly and young babies hang and play by the roadside, with no awareness of the amount of pollution they are hoovering up in their lungs. In the evenings, groups of ladies practice dancing and fitness classes on terraces by the main roads, sometimes with a TV plugged in by a very long lead, playing videos to follow. Road sweeping is a manual activity here also, with older ladies and men sweeping up debris with large fanning brushes, not a dust mask in sight. Life exists in mixed planes, with slower, traditional farming families competing with the cheap but shiny lights of mass Chinese production.
I can envisage the earlier quaintness of this town pre mass tourism: West St-although now a bustling tourist shop spot-and the smaller side streets, are cobbled and weave over small streams with pretty bridges and willowy trees, cutesy cafes lining the sides. The bridges over the main river hold impressive views of the mighty hills. Mass efforts are being made to attract the super rich Chinese and tourist set, with huge hotels and retail plazas being built to bring super luxe labels to the town. But the surrounds of Yangshuo are littered with reams of unfinished building projects, gathering dirt and greenery, where money was pumped in but clearly not enough to complete these homes.
With a book acquired from the Rusty Bolt climbing shop (120CNY) and a scooter hired for the week from a nearby stall (200RMB for 5 days) we set off to find the White Mountain. First off, I turned a fabric sleeping mask which I got from the plane, into a makeshift dust mask-anything to minimise the amount of dirt being inhaled. From our hotel, we wove our way through village roads and farming fields, reeds swaying in swampy patches. Navigating the main roads was more stressful, with numerous trucks honking and overtaking and many holes and junk strewn to the roadsides to avoid along our driving line. We veered onto more small village roads which turned into a small sliver of a rocky pathway amongst long grass. With so many peaks in sight, it was hard to tell if we were in the right space. Hallelujah for the sound of extended yelling echoing as someone took a whipper off a line in the distance-we had found our way! The White Mountain was a long expanse of climbing face, with plenty of room for people to meander around and relax between routes. Admittedly, I was less keen on the K-pop blaring from the speaker around the busy main section of projects so we took a play on some fun 6s and low 7s, including some tricky face & slab-esque climbing.
We returned the following day, Mr Arnold having woken up with a bit more gusto and sent three long lines in a row without a rest including two 7bs (China White and Yangshuo Hotel) which was impressive given the definite lack of endurance or stamina prep. Thom doesn't get emotional hang ups around his climbing which can be very helpful to be around. Having climbed 8b comfortably whilst fit, he's barely climbed since the transition to Singapore, averaging if lucky once a week in the last 6 months and knew he wouldn't be coming here to make sends, especially not in a 5/6 days worth of climbing trip. Getting to move and have fun was his purpose. Three days on was the most amount of climbing I had certainly done in recent times, and I was feeling a deep set fatigue in my forearms-I was very happy to get to the top of Yangshuo Hotel-its a beautiful long line with great movement: A bouldery start (yay) with a super traverse on slopey/open crimps led to big moves on good holds. By the cave about 20 metres up though, I was out of gas where I hung half in, half out for what seemed like forever. My arms were no longer working and the remainder of the climb felt unforgiving, particularly, the mishmash slope fest near the top, which I made a mess of in sequencing. It felt wonderful to be that high up on the wall, to move for that long and get to the top, but I felt tinges of discouragement: When you have been injured, when you haven't been able to climb consistently for long periods, climbing is tough! It's not that I haven't been injured before. I have really gotten battered up over the years, but made huge some big strides so that a year ago, I was comfortably making ground on finally sending some 8 projects-but now again, it felt like physically a universe away. Sometimes it does take someone else to remind you that "you are where you are" and that at the foundation of it all "climb because you LOVE climbing, and if you're not loving it, then something is wrong." Thom made light work of White Devil 7c, throwing in two dyno-esque moves: there was obviously another way up it, but he goes with what works in the moment. His climbing confidence-much like other my super duper climbing friends I have had the joy of spending time with-is something to always be inspired by: climb 'til you fall; if a hold is good enough, use it, don't spend forever looking for another one and; have the guts to go for moves-because, if you were bouldering, you would do it, so why not when you're actually attached to a rope? It's hard to keep a potentially awkward fall out of your head at times, but admittedly, my best climbing has always happened when you forget the rope and you keep on moving.
On our rest day, we took a short ride to a Fuli, an Ancient Village a few miles away. Famous for its silk painted fans and markets, it's few streets were very desolate when we arrived: worn buildings overshadowed narrow streets, beautiful silk paintings peeking through the darkened doorways. Sporadic groups of men played card games, the elderly observed in stillness on their stools, ladies gathered around tv soap dramas in small shop fronts. When we returned to our accommodation, we were asked if we uncovered the local dog market, which I thank high heaven I did not stumble across. Whilst some things move forward in China, animal welfare is not one of the areas where much progress has been made, despite a partial growing trend in owning a cool or cute looking dog. Admittedly, its hard to maintain objectivity when you are raised in an environment of life long pet ownership and animal care (In addition to having had 4 cats plus 3 strays, I've raised a robin, looked after an injured pigeon, like to think of myself as an occasional substitute parent of a certain Aussie Shepherd dog, and even once as a young girl took a rat that had its back legs run over to the vet so it could be put down painlessly) and the environment you are now in is not one where the same value is placed in animals. This was further amplified the following day on return to the Lei Pi Shan crag: The first time we visited there, a local young climber was there was his sweet tiny dog, who was very animated and playful, seemingly well taken care of. The owner was very loving and caring towards her. The next visit, whilst I was up on the wall after Thom had skipped up Thunder and Single Life without much apparent effort, I could see the same young man had returned at the foot of the crag with his dog. Suddenly I could hear him shouting at her and then he started whipping her with her leash on the road side to the point where she yelped and cried. He made his way up the crag dragging her along and continued with the shouting and whipping in front of everyone, mostly Chinese climbers, as she continued to cry. I started sweating on the wall and asked to come down (by this point he had stopped) and filled with a fury, a compulsion, and an apparent "look that could kill" may have said something out loud that alluded to violent behaviour towards this person. At which point, I was advised that causing trouble out here with a local would not be a smart thing for myself, or for her, especially that he had stopped. I was at a loss. The obvious thing in that moment to me was to "teach this guy a lesson" by a method he was inflicting on his dog and yet, three conflicting questions were being thrown at me: one-am I actually justified to be violent towards another human?; two, if I actually hurt this person, is the repercussion for the actual dog going to be much worse because I can't just take her away with me and there was clearly no welfare facility where I could take her to?: three-quite seriously and realistically did I really want Chinese police on my back in the middle of mainland China? So I left. I have struggled with this event since and my understanding of myself, and others around me, concepts of right/wrong/judgement. I took a long walk along the river. Around town, I saw other men smacking dogs, be that "pets" (as in leashed to a property) or strays. It's a different environment here, although not new to me-I have been to plenty of countries where animal welfare is not a priority given that even human welfare is not even on the agenda for governments-but it didn't make the situation any easier to manage.
The last day we headed to a different spot, Banyan Tree, to climb away from the crowds and in full roaring sunshine. Todd Skinner's Line (7b) is a beautiful long line with wonderful movement but I struggled to keep my head clear. It was one last dusty scooter ride to drop off the scooter in town before packing and getting ready to leave the following early morning. It was a rapid week with a lot to process, not just in terms of climbing, but the complete life/culture experience. We made our way on a more straightforward train ride this time out of Guilin North, about an hour drive away. We passed through miles of hot, hazy polluted sky as the towering peaks and hills of the region faded into the background and my my thoughts ruminated.
By the time we got to Hong Kong, also recognised for its pollution problems, the air seemed positively clean! I do love Hong Kong. As a city baby, its one of the places of the world I always enjoy visiting and I almost moved here a few years ago. It's efficient, functional, safe, filled with incredible food and the energy of cultural diversity (It is unnerving then, that Hong Kong is continuing to feel the intensifying squeeze of the last two decades of Chinese parentage with increasing restrictions being imposed…but I will leave you to the inter webs to read up on what's been going on the last couple of years). However, one of the things I have never gotten round to doing is actually climbing here. It is easy to assume that quality climbing is non existent in this dense metropolis, yet there are numerous crags with excellent climbing from grades 5-8b on Hong Kong island itself (yes, really in the Mid Levels), Kowloon side, and Tung Lung Island, a short ferry ride away, which is where we decided to head to for half a day before getting our flight home. It was a warm but beautifully breezy day to play on excellent granite rock on this sea cliff crag-which made a great switch from the (sometimes incredibly polished and sweaty) limestone we had been on. Given the public ferry runs only on weekends, it was very busy from 11am onwards so getting there early was a smart call on our part to play on some wonderful slabs and cracks. For a few hours, my head felt clear and I moved because it felt good to move without any other thoughts or distractions. Everybody here was very enthusiastic and encouraging, creating a great vibe. I didn't want to leave but alas, time was up and we had to go. I will definitely be wanting to come back here.
On reflection, I was pushed challenged physically and mentally in more ways than one. I am really pleased that I got to move and demonstrate to myself that I am moving in the right direction and maintaining a decent level of base climbing fitness. The patience in my rehabilitative exercises, ClimbFlow and other yoga practice is keeping my limbs attached and developing a stronger me that I hope will prove to keep climbing for many many years, and that in the near future I will be getting back to pushing my boundaries. I was reminded that I love moving up the wall for its own sake, irrespective of grades, and that nature gives us these incredible gifts to play on and enjoy. Equally, it highlighted that I would like to be able to go on a longer climbing trip that gives more days to get into a rhythm and work on lines. Going on climbing trips brings a whole human experience: I have been exposed to some very difficult places that illuminate the complexity of human existence and what we are doing to the environment and its other inhabitants and I find it hard to ignore those complexities, that are sometimes very subtle & cumulative as opposed to brazenly obvious. China is one of those places that I have openly found challenging. The nature & scenery is undeniably beautiful and the climbing opportunities are extensive. There is so much history & tradition alluding to a culture that once spearheaded the way on philosophy, aesthetics & art, science & engineering that I have been enamoured with for many of my younger years as part of my heritage. I have to make note that the staff at the Hidden Dragon Villa were warm, kind and considerate people who looked after us so well, and we met lovely people throughout the week. As mentioned at the beginning, I have worked with and also career managed many brilliant and wonderful people in China so my perspectives are not meant as a slight at people who work hard, and endeavour to live life according to the aspirations and hopes that any one of us may have. The good, the bad and the ugly exist everywhere and right on our own doorsteps: it is the good of people that you hope overall will have meaning, value and purpose in the bigger picture, that it can still bring some change for the future. The highlights don't gloss over the present picture I have built based on my experiences of being there, albeit one small part of it. Higher powers of systematic control have created the strained and challenging environments the people have to manoeuvre through and China has a some way to go to make progress on a social and environmental level. Perhaps at a different time of year, I may have had a different experience and formed different thoughts. Perhaps in the future, it will be different and it will be worthwhile visiting again because there is so much I hope to be able to explore and experience there.

The Poisoner
A Story of Family Secrets
Gail Bell
"Readers with a strong stomach will enjoy this unusual memoir laced with a natural history of poison." - Publishers Weekly
Years after Dr. William Macbeth died, his ornate medicine case passed to his estranged son. Over the protests of his family, the son buried it deep in the ground, out of sight and out of reach.
Then ten-years-old, Macbeth's granddaughter Gail Bell watched the mysterious case of elixirs arrive at her home. She watched her father treat it like a poison chalice. Only decades later would she understand why: the case concealed evidence of her family's deadly secret.
In 1927, Macbeth was accused of poisoning two of his sons. He never stood trial. Bell, determined to discover how this "calm, warm, and caring" healer could become a cunning murderer--and evade detection--eventually uncovered the dark secrets that her father had tried to hide from the world. But as the unexpected twists of her investigation reveal, nothing is as straightforward as it seems.
At the same time, she explores what the crime of poisoning reveals about humanity, through the perspectives of myth, history, fiction, and the great poison trials. A pharmacist by profession, and the granddaughter of a suspected poisoner by circumstance, she is perfectly placed to revisit the cases of Cleopatra, Emma Bovary, Napoleon's doctor, Harold Shipman, and Dr. Crippen, and she is equally well-suited to chronicle the devastating effects of poison's many forms, from hemlock and belladonna to arsenic and strychnine.
The Poisoner is at once a fascinating history of the science and sociology of poisoning, and a true, first-person account of one woman's struggle to understand its mysterious role in her own family's murderous history.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY AUG 26, 2002
Readers with a strong stomach will enjoy this unusual memoir laced with a natural history of poison. The author, an Australian journalist, short story writer and pharmacist, has both a professional and personal interest in her subject. From family gossip, Bell learned that her paternal grandfather, William Macbeth, deliberately poisoned two of his sons. He and his wife divorced after this dark deed, and Macbeth, an herbalist and chemist, continued to practice his trade. The author's interviews with her great-aunt revealed that her grandmother was reluctant to accuse Macbeth out of fear for their two remaining sons. Bell's exhaustive investigation of this family secret and her effort "to see the man in the monster" leaves her, finally, with a version of events that differs sharply from her great-aunt's recollections. Along the way, she offers scientific details on many types of poison and a series of engrossing but graphic and unsettling accounts of legendary poisonings, both real and literary, murderous and suicidal. Included is Flaubert's horrific description of Madame Bovary's death; the case of Mary Anne McConkey, who was hung in Dublin in 1841 for sprinkling her husband's lunch with aconite, which killed him in three torturous hours; and a 20th-century man who accidentally murdered his love interest by giving her what he thought was an aphrodisiac Spanish fly.

Anyone who has any dealings with insurance more than likely has questions. Here you will find lots of helpful information that will make it fast and easy to learn more about the often confusing world of life insurance.
Calculate the right amount of life insurance coverage for you, and buy only what you need. It can be quite costly to over buy any insurance, while having too little insurance may leave your family members with needless financial problems. Your budget absolutely plays into your life insurance decision, so choose wisely.
When making the decision to purchase life insurance, be sure that you allow yourself enough coverage. Your beneficiary can pay the mortgage, loans, or college tuition with the money.
You will need to estimate your approximate life insurance needs, and purchase a policy that reflects your unique situation. Buying too much coverage is a common mistake. This can cost you money. Not buying enough, though, will leave your family financially stressed. It will make you feel better by making wise life insurance choices.
TIP! Compare prices between numerous companies prior to getting life insurance. Premiums for life insurance can vary as much as 50 percent.
Fully disclose any job or hobby-related dangers to your health. Although you'll have to pay higher premiums if you engage in risky activities, it's better to be honest with your insurance company. If the company finds out that you're engaging in these activities from someone other than you, you may lose your eligibility for coverage. There are also big penalties for withholding information as it is considered fraud.
It may be easier said than done, but try to avoid higher commissions when getting your hands on a new life insurance policy. These commissions fees are paid to the agent or broker and are usually included in your premium cost. Policies referred to as "no load" can be purchased directly from some insurance companies and their price isn't inflated by commissions.
The advice you have been provided with will provide you with the confidence you need to purchase the life insurance plan that best fits your needs. This article should leave you well prepared to get the best coverage for your money and offer peace of mind in providing for the needs of your loved ones.
There is no need to purchase life insurance in extravagant amounts. The beneficiary might get a windfall if you die, but that's not really that great if you are struggling while you are still alive. You should just enroll in a policy that can give you enough money if you die.
TIP! If you have a dangerous occupation or hobbies, you should expect higher life insurance premiums. For the best rates, you may need to give up scuba diving, bungee jumping, or skydiving.

Gabby's BBQ owners Frank Roche, left and John Mariner say they enjoy meeting customers at the restaurant's locations, including this one at 3101 North Shepherd.
Hill Country pit-smoked barbecue has kept Gabby's BBQ popular for 35 years.
When people ask where the name came from, they learn that it honors Gabby Hayes, the muttering sidekick in old westerns who rustled up frontier fixin's for outdoor meals that usually ended with Roy Rogers crooning by the campfire.
So, it may come as a surprise to Gabby's customers that founders John Mariner and Frank Roche each got their start with something the Gabby Hayes character might have not known what to do with - pizza.
But lessons learned at pizza restaurants stuck with the two in 1977 when they decided to open a place serving barbecue and downhome cooking.
"We have a combination of things that appeal to customers with the quality of the food, good price value and relationships," Roch said of the three Gabby's restaurants, which include a location at 3101 N. Shepherd. "These are neighborhood institutions and meeting places to see friends."
Both Mariner, 62, and Roche, 64, worked at Pizza Hut restaurants at age 16. Mariner grew up in Sharpstown and continued working for Pizza Hut after he completed a business degree at the University of Houston in 1972.
At age 18, Roche was general manager of a Pizza Hut location. He also finished a business degree at the University of Houston in 1972.
The two crossed paths at the university and worked together at Pizza Hut.
Roche's original dream was to open a pizza restaurant; so he solely launched Spanky's in July 1976, a business that continues and provided valuable lessons on how to operate a restaurant such as branding, overcoming obstacles and developing concepts. Roche and Mariner are co-owners of Spanky's.
He and Mariner, both barbecue aficionados, joined forces to open the first Gabby's BBQ location in 1978 at South Gessner and Bissonett across from the Southwest Tennis Center.
Mariner's wife, Jacque, pitched in with the décor of Texas Ranger Murals, Texas Hill Country antiques and mounted buffalo heads. That location closed in 1988.
Today, their daughters are stepping into leadership roles in their chain of restaurants, which are known for ribs and live music on weekends. Roche's daughter Robin is the catering coordinator and another daughter, Holly, is operations assistant. Mariner's daughter Laurie is director of marketing.
The restaurant has locations at 3101 North Shepherd, 4659 Telephone Road and 4010 Spencer Highway in Pasadena.
Gabby's sticks to what works - meats are cooked in handbuilt, wood-burning pits constructed in Mesquite by Oyler. The seasonings were perfected by Mariner and Roche in the restaurant's first years.
Dishes bear names such as "Texas BBQ Pie" and "Pulled Pork Nachos."
"We have a very loyal following," Mariner said. "Both of us are still very involved in the restaurant. We like working the front line and dealing with customers. It's the most enjoyable part of the business. It's a nice thing when people arrive in a good mood to see you. We're here to take care of guests so they can have a good time."
Where: 3101 North Shepherd; 4659 Telephone Road; 4010 Spencer Highway in Pasadena Hours: 10:30 a.m to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday through Saturday; 10:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Sunday.

We all dream of winning the lotto jackpot, or even just a few hundred thousand. But imagine winning twice! One lucky man in South Africa did just that. We expect a rag to riches story in most cases but in this case the twice lucky winner of the South African Lottery was a successful businessman from Limpopo Province. The 34-year-old, who has chosen to remain anonymous, won his first jackpot of R11 million in 2002. A mere seven years later, in 2009, he went on to win a whopping R30 million in the Powerball's inaugural jackpot prize. The odds of the same person winning both lotteries are positively galactic, but somehow he did just that. Statistics show that he beat odds of 14 million to one to scoop his first jackpot prize, and a whopping 24 million to one to claim the second. However, he is not the record holder, that title goes to a man from Idaho, USA, who has won the lottery three times!
Despite these two big wins, the 34-year-old seems to have kept his wits about him and remains startlingly humble. After winning the first time he stated that he only spent about R100 per month on lotto tickets. Upon winning the second time, a larger R30 million, he politely declined the offer for a car to pick him up, preferring to drive himself to the Gidani offices in Midrand to claim his prize. Perhaps because of his background in business, this lucky man is still riding on the success of his two lotto wins and has said that he knows how precarious his situation is; the temptation to spend the vast amounts of money and announce to the world that you've made it big is positively overwhelming.
With his first win, he chose to use the money to stabilize his business and secure his assets. Upon winning a second time, he remained as level-headed as ever and stated that he would like to invest a large portion into the future of his four children and then venture into property development, which had shown to be a consistently strong sector. With the property development, he hopes to simultaneously be able to address the plight of the many homeless people in our South Africa. And whilst the details remain unclear, one thing is certain, this man and his children surely have a successful and bright future in store.

US Places $15M Bounty On Venezuelan Nicolás Maduro For Drug Related Indictments
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro offers a press conference in Caracas, on January 25, 2019. – Venezuela's opposition leader Juan Guaido called Friday for a "major demonstration" next week to demand the resignation of President Nicolas Maduro, in his first public appearance since declaring himself "acting president" two days ago. (Photo by Yuri CORTEZ / AFP) (Photo credit should read YURI CORTEZ/AFP/Getty Images)
The United states indictment of Nicholas Maduro extends to several other members of the Venezuelan government, and the two members of the Colombian rebel group FARC on drugs and weapons charges.
The United States has indicted the Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and several high-ranking members of the Venezuelan government with involvement in drug trafficking, weapons, and narco-terrorism charges in the United States on Thursday, according to documents of the US Department of Justice.
In a live video press conference, Attorney General William Barr, flanked by top federal prosecutors in New York and Florida, announced charges against the "former Maduro regime."
Also charged with Maduro are the Chief Justice of the Venezuela's Supreme Court, the leader of the country's Constituent Assembly, and former leaders in the Venezuelan military. Others are two members of the Colombian rebel group FARC were also charged.
"For more than 20 years, Maduro and a number of high-ranking colleagues allegedly conspired with the FARC, causing tons of cocaine to enter and devastate American communities," Barr said. "Today's announcement is focused on rooting out the extensive corruption within the Venezuelan government — a system constructed and controlled to enrich those at the highest levels of the government."
The US State Department is offering $15 million for information leading to Nicholas Maduro's arrest and conviction, as well as lesser rewards of $10 million and $5 million for Maduro's alleged co-conspirators.
Guiado
The U.S. has long recognized opposition leader Juan Guiadó, a member of Venezuela's Constitutional Assembly, as president of the country and has continuously loathe policies by Maduro.
In September, 2019, President Donald Trump banned senior Venezuelan officials and their families from entering the US, an effort allegedly aimed at forcing President Nicolas Maduro to step down.
The declaration signed by Mr Trump targeted Venezuelan officials with the rank of vice minister or above, military members with a rank of colonel or above and members of the pro-Maduro legislature, the Constituent Assembly.
The ban also applied to anyone acting "on behalf of or in support of" Mr Maduro and those enjoying "financial benefit" from the government and their immediate family members.
Maduro cut ties with the US after the US openly backed Guiado during the elections. The dispassion between the US and the Venezuelan leadership deepens with this recent indictment.

The porcelain anemone crab is also referred to as the spotted porcelain crab. Although they are called crabs and certainly resemble crabs, they are actually closer related to squat lobsters. They are called porcelain crabs both because they are very delicate and due to their base color of almost pure white. This creature is fairly common and is found in the Indo-Pacific Region. The easiest place for sightings likely being on the many beautiful dive sites off of the coast of Tanzania and Zanzibar.
As mentioned, the Porcelain Anemone Crab are very delicate and brittle. The legs and claws of this crab often break off in fights over territory. They usually regenerate these broken appendages when they change shells. They are often found in pairs and are almost exclusively found next to either a carpet anemone or an adhesive anemone. Their white shells become even more beautiful as their shells age and they begin growing algae. This can give individual crabs who haven't molted their shells for a long period a much more vibrant look.
The Porcelain Anemone Crab are filter feeders and have tiny fans by their mouths which filter plankton out of the water. These crabs only grow to a maximum width of around 5 cms or 2 inches.
The Procelain Anemone Crab is actually a fairly stable aquarium creature. They are fairly cheap (around $10) and can exist without an anemone in an aquarium environment (although having one is certainly preferred). While they are in the wild they are planktonic feeders, in aquariums they seem to be able to survive off of flakes or pellets which sink to the bottom.
