Paul is pizzled, a novellette, Galaxy, November 1955, an episode of Electric Dreams, not as terrible, low standards, serious problems, the most redeemable, redeeming aspects, why we have to have cunnilingus scenes for no reasons, to care about characters we don't care about, a naked one for a change, in charge of the sex situation, an agenda, the last five (or three years), except on Game Of Thrones, they really laid this shit on heavy, the gender of the hacker character doesn't matter to the story, sex scenes hurt the story, a double twist ending, abberant from the story, something completely different, breaking the fourth wall, directed at the TV audience, I know you need the sex scene so here it is, Black Mirror, Metalhead, could be set in the same world, a sequel world, boyfriend is a librarian, robots can't have children, are they on a loop, meaning and purpose and existence drops away, doomed every other robot to extinction, the same conversation, as soon as you start thinking about it it breaks down, a happy ending, this is just as bad as the actual story, way worse than the ending in the book, going to the stars, that primitive existence, already cut-off, horses and sad chickens, human animals again, degrading, the ending, human civilization is being propped up, sliding right into the toilet, back to pre-barbarism, a nuclear war, how well are humans going to survive, doomed hunter gatherer tribes, the alternative presented in the TV show, hippie buses, we could store that data electronically, nobody's getting older, the guy with a limp, she cuts her own head open, Rust, Isaac Asimov, the robots can't move anymore, what's going to happen next, I wanna watch that episode, they set up a whole premise, she left behind the two guys, she's kind of a monster, using people as a means to an end, lying to the robot, the logic bomb, other than that she's a monster, a consequentialist ethic, all over the world, by ending that autofac, robot communities, my community matter and everybody else doesn't, duplicate communities, one node, only one autofac in the TV adaptation, the rest of the world is dead, she's doomed the last beings on the planet, waiting for their amazon deliveries, watching it on Amazon Prime, people think this is a story about Amazon, you can't communicate with the postman, leave it under the eave next time, those punchcards, soiled, missing a part, dealing with bureaucracy, kind of a reverse cargo cult story, people trying to stop the automated deliveries, why do they want to stop it?, they're fucking robots, they're polluting everything, wresting the means of production back from the autofac, polluting and ruining the planet, resonating a little better, not amazon not capitalism, the unstoppable beast, the system that's broken is humanity, the cargo cults in the Pacific, Seabees, vastly unfamiliar, giant birds, "CARGO", wonderful goodness, not well represented in the family of man, educated in the United States, Hawaii, a remote atoll, grasp the full industrial might, if you raise the American flag, an aircraft shaped object out of wicker, prosperity, manna from heaven, if the forms are followed, why are they rejecting this, Puerto Rico, what is happening in the story (sorta), you can't beat capitalism by talking to your non-voting representative, control of the means of production, a really interesting story, blowing up Amazon headquarters, a pretty top down organization, if it's head robot was not in charge, are profits are temporary, Boston Tea Party, boycotts, South Africa, Apartheid, moving for reconciliation, had the humans not catalyzed this particular conflict, needing the resources, tasty titanium, a stellar opening scene, acting as if the milk tastes terrible, a fabulous sequence stupidly replaced, harpoon, why is she wearing the little round sunglasses, supposed it look steampunk, jumpsuits and truck with no cab, mad at the milk, angry at the truck, it would take some imagination, the lazy version, this makes it connected to the world of SkyNet, The Terminator movies, a much more bleak human future, one AI and youre done, we've made ourselves destruction, "it's worse than that" (as Bryan Alexander) would say, not the premier object of interest, we've made ourselves into rats or pigeons, this Marxist aspect to Philip K. Dick, man the tinkerer, once we're totally consumers we might as well be robots, they are robots, you're not allowed to tinker with your iPhone or your John Deere tractor, pre-computers, a modern car, Charles Stross, an iPad needs to be taken to a wizard, Evan's right, commercial culture, semi-artificial, you are kind of an android, Reading, Short And Deep, But Who Can Replace A Man by Brian Aldiss, massive collapse, stuck out in the universe, find new value, a lone surviving human, "Yes master, immediately.", maybe we don't need to have man, Rust by Joseph E. Kelleam, an abject figure, as the big machines bore slowly down on him, his countenance was ravaged by starvation, right back into slavery, in their quest to find meaning, they just leave them behind, "good luck, brother", telling these stories from different directions, not completely hopeless, recreated life, life is an an anti-entropy, DNA can do it, solving problems, plastic houses and buckets of milk, little robot versions of themselves, Steam, a reddit thread, Factorio, a horrible premise, use up all of its resources,a planet destruction games, SimCity, Civilization, a factory that makes more factories, a brilliant ending, Asimov's 3 laws, The Defenders, the Leadies, The Penultimate Truth, The Electric Ant, Westworld as an adaptation of The Electric Ant, seeing reality as it is, transparent head, lights in their heads, Ex Machina (2014), she blanches when she's exposed to the truth, smashes the capsule, she's a really good actor?, all part of the ruse, just to trick the audience, a stupid line to justify the shower sex scene, the robot visitor, that whole visualization, why does she look like that, they're probably experimenting with sex robots, how unsexy the autofac (story) robots, that hawk, a sex act, changed by its environment, a little vent shooting out seeds, a very nice reveal, an uncontrollable system like capitalism or a von Neumann, a grey goo story, FEMA automated, how Haiti is so badly done, the NGOs help so hard that basically everybody's worse off than they were, culture-jam, jam up the works, the agency and the action, you fake a natural disaster, almost what happened in Somalia, the warlords laid a trap, Black Hawk Down (2001), change the game in the local area, Iraq, under continual occupation since 2003, massive forces that you cannot comprehend, the industrial capacity millions and millions and millions of times bigger than your little atoll, an agenda you cannot fathom or control, more relevant than ever, seeing through a glass clearly, the vines that were growing, weeds, things taking over, how Philip K. Dick talks about children, Ray Bradbury, obsessed with insects, the bugs, insects like in Second Variety, a sequel, tinnily above O'Neal's head, slag and ruin, sickly stalks, rat colonies, radiation, birds, little details, a really good writer, not a clunky writer, description, evocative, the kind of contrast Dick is always doing, conversations vs. perception, really good timing, slapping at a mosquito, receptors fully extended, the search bug fitted perfectly, a vague tub, Expendable, ants on his lawn, a talking spider in his house, in our vast war against the insects, how the birds are watching and twittering, cockroaches, figurative robotic cockroaches, a moth, in the moth ridden darkness of the night, peering, planning,tungsten seeking food, into the shadows of the thick packed vines, it builds itself a little coffin, high on amphetamines, little touches, a groundbreaking novelette, long sentences, the factory representative had arrived, the insect tech, The Simulacrum, The Man Who Japed, the Minority Report movie, artificial bees, something to consider, quasi-human, a biped chassis, testimony to nature's efficiency, lady in a catsuit, a gender, a testament to the times we live in, quite a production, dramatic, sound and fury that comes to nothing, community meetings, a bunch of people disagreeing, a common goal, so unimportant Philip K. Dick didn't bother to point to it, Judith O'Neal, the metallic paper, six words, the Kansas City settlement, no fluttering breasts, big excitement, they are placing the orders, back-order sheets, almost like you're living in Puerto Rico, factory analyzed needs, ALL SHIPMENTS SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE, we got what we wanted didn't we?, exactly the kind of relationship the native people of B.C. had when they traded with the Hudson's Bay Company, rifle skill, bow skill, NAFTA, the Trans Pacific Partnership, unable to participate, very political and very insightful story, BC's Agricultural Land Reserve, another pipeline from Alberta, almost a trade war, pollution, that's what this story's all about, capitalism and independence, the beaver trappers, more effective more efficient, trapped, once you have a rifle, opening by each of the directors, Travis Beecham, a machine doing exactly what its creators meant it to do, The Monkey's Paw, a technological parable, we're fighting our own nature, what he's saying sounds awesome, creating the demand for the process it wants to do, expanding markets, a good story for the 1950s, manufacturing markets, creating more demand to fulfill the runaway production, everyone is dead from the war, I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream by Harlan Ellison, what we do, creating fake demand, funny characters, angsty wives, almost poetic, again with the vines, the Philip K. Dick Rhetorizer, it remained inert totally unresponsive, rigid, sore and unshaven chin, they're taking over the world!, shapeless piles, a different mode, in its cocoon, a vent, an ovipositor, a terrific story, they give up, that age of mankind is over, spread out into the university, that would be neat, is he being ironic?, the nozzle continued to spurt out its torrent of metal seeds, a metaphor, predicting the present, Teslas into orbit for no reason, new markets for cars in out space, a terrific science fiction writer when he wants to be, his novels, humans and their relationships to each other, flat characters, a character, working through those ideas, a different mode, a downer ending, Juno Temple, Emily Zabriske, mining borax, Alice in wonderland?, replaced, took away from the power of the idea, cute but doesn't make any sense, it works at the moment, not a classic, they're not trying to make you think that, we shouldn't like that, a better story, very dark, a real monster, brutal, a coldly calculating witch, on her plate, she doesn't care about her two companions, you have to presume she disabled the bombs, why does she need to bring them?, they're there as distraction, she kills her old boyfriend, the humanoid killbot, weird machines hunting down people, the difference in writing, an economy of storytelling, in black and white, inevtiably taken on a terrible journey, an action sequence before meetings, if you were grading all the television, they're not A students, making excuses, terrible assignment, they've gotta have a nude scene a kill bot and a harpoon, the same premise, three guys standing around and we don't know why, get ready, follow the plan, pretending the milk tastes terrible, something's wrong with the milk, their semantic sensibilities, a performance designed to achieve something, massive success, a massive failure, a great setup and premise, in a science fiction story, too expensive to film, visual effects way more expensive, druggie glasses, a whole steampunk vibe, I've never seen a film people pretending milk taste bad and then talking to a truck, a guy getting into an argument with his toaster or door, a classic scene, could have been amazing, they're just hippies, the meetings, factions and conflict, Dr. Bloodmoney, they had to kill that teacher, post-apocalyptic literature, how they deal with it in The Terminator series, John Connor aka JC aka Jesus Christ, bottom up order, fascist dystopia, the female doing the exact same thing, have sex with her robot boyfriend in the shower, he doesn't even have any books, the books she was collecting up, a Borges, this is what they do to show they're intellectual, books are never ever mentioned in the original short story, agency, other novels and stories do that, it isn't a criticism of Amazon really, "one day we will be Amazon!", a critique of capitalism.

The SFFaudio Podcast #409 – AUDIOBOOK/READALONG: The Grove Of Ashtaroth by John Buchan
Monday, February 20, 2017 Jesse Willis	Leave a comment
The SFFaudio Podcast #409 – The Grove Of Ashtaroth by John Buchan, read by Mr Jim Moon. This is a complete and unabridged reading of the short story (1 hour 5 minutes) followed by a discussion of it (by Jesse, Mr Jim Moon, and Paul)
1910, obsession, kinda gross, fundamentally based on racism, Jewishness, troublesome, H.P. Lovecraft, a racist filter, horror as fear of the other, the same intellectual climate, racial theory, a sensitivity alarm bell, scare not offend, on the cusp, an off note, Sax Rohmer, yellow peril, Fu Manchu is the hero, the Escape audio drama adaptation, Harlan Ellison, Red Hook territory, uncomfortably of its time, its about race, his friend's changing disposition, the Saxon Mother vs. the "strong wine of the east", that logic is still in force, 1/64th Cherokee, if this was set in the highlands…, natural peace, a benevolent supernatural force, white hat vs. black hat, the theme of colonialism vs. race and heredity, imperialism, two-fisted adventure vs. poetry and philosophy and pathos, the landscape, the skyline, the love that Lawson has is reflected by Buchan himself
At midday it cleared, and the afternoon was a pageant of pure colour. The wind sank to a low breeze; the sun lit the infinite green spaces, and kindled the wet forest to a jewelled coronal. Lawson gaspingly admired it all, as he cantered bareheaded up a bracken-clad slope. 'God's country,' he said twenty times. 'I've found it.' Take a piece of Sussex downland; put a stream in every hollow and a patch of wood; and at the edge, where the cliffs at home would fall to the sea, put a cloak of forest muffling the scarp and dropping thousands of feet to the blue plains. Take the diamond air of the Gornergrat, and the riot of colour which you get by a West Highland lochside in late September. Put flowers everywhere, the things we grow in hothouses, geraniums like sun-shades and arums like trumpets. That will give you a notion of the countryside we were in. I began to see that after all it was out of the common.
beautiful writing, the sensual description of Lawson,
Being a fair man, he was gloriously tanned, and there was a clear line at his shirt-collar to mark the limits of his sunburn. I had first known him years ago, when he was a broker's clerk working on half-commission. Then he had gone to South Africa, and soon I heard he was a partner in a mining house which was doing wonders with some gold areas in the North. The next step was his return to London as the new millionaire — young, good-looking, wholesome in mind and body, and much sought after by the mothers of marriageable girls. We played polo together, and hunted a little in the season, but there were signs that he did not propose to become a conventional English gentleman. He refused to buy a place in the country, though half the Homes of England were at his disposal. He was a very busy man, he declared, and had not time to be a squire.
a bromance at the least, homoeroticism, nudity or flannels, naked on the veldt, the gorgeousness of the writing, T.S. Eliot, The Wasteland, The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock, a miniseries on Cecil Rhodes, the empire builder, Rhodesia, like Rhodes Lawson made his money in mining, Buchan knew Rhodes, a giant country estate, Buchan is the name of the unnamed narrator in the audio drama adaptation, biographies, First World War Hidden History blog,, at the center of spying and propaganda, Lord Tweedsmuir, use in a role playing game, Kim Philby, the old boy network, the revolving door policy, no longer conspiracy, no longer tin-foil hat territory, rewarded with the Governorship of Canada, nobility by appointment, "gone to the wall", with the riff-raff and the hoi-poloi, "gone to seed", a pun, the fertile and lush garden, the flower of his youth, a railroad from South Africa to Egypt, nursemaided by Rhodes, illness,
Then we went to work to cut down the trees. The slim stems were an easy task to a good woodman, and one after another they toppled to the ground. And meantime, as I watched, I became conscious of a strange emotion.
It was as if some one were pleading with me. A gentle voice, not threatening, but pleading — something too fine for the sensual ear, but touching inner chords of the spirit. So tenuous it was and distant that I could think of no personality behind it. Rather it was the viewless, bodiless grace of this delectable vale, some old exquisite divinity of the groves. There was the heart of all sorrow in it, and the soul of all loveliness. It seemed a woman's voice, some lost lady who had brought nothing but goodness unrepaid to the world. And what the voice told me was, that I was destroying her last shelter.
That was the pathos of it — the voice was homeless. As the axes flashed in the sunlight and the wood grew thin, that gentle spirit was pleading with me for mercy and a brief respite. It seemed to be telling of a world for centuries grown coarse and pitiless, of long sad wanderings, of hardly-won shelter, and a peace which was the little all she sought from men. There was nothing terrible in it. No thought of wrongdoing. The spell, which to Semitic blood held the mystery of evil, was to me, of a different race, only delicate and rare and beautiful.
poor spirit, parallel to an extinction, running away from the destruction of man, reading the story from Lawson's point of view, what is he doing there?, an alabaster moon, blood sacrifice, depleting life force, a lonely deity, The Call Of Cthulhu role playing game, a temple ruin, an abandoned mine, a tiki-fetish, some ancient horrible power, maybe we've done wrong here,
And then my heartache returned, and I knew that I had driven something lovely and adorable from its last refuge on earth.
the last doorway, the model for this tower, the Great Zimbabwe, where could I read up on that?, a country house with a mock temple: "the folly", druid orders, cheese rolling, a week later, keeping a secret, dropsy or yellow fever, the revenge of the land, disease, looking down on the tropics, three years, scarfe, natural beauty, that library, the moon of alabaster, the bird statuettes, turtle doves, green doves, auk-like bird carvings, everything is going extinct, the sin at the story's end, the two-fisted action, shotguns make short work, the birds on the pyre, salting the earth, the Punic wars, improve on Josiah, dynamiting a priceless ancient temple, a "land without history", purpose of visit: colonialism, sad but true, ancient ruins of Africa, ancient Greece, ancient Egypt, the character names all end in "son": Lawson, Isaacson, Jobson (the factor), the Hudson's Bay Company, the East India Company, wagons, more money than the Queen, Ming pots, a night watchman, the natives won't go to the temple, local folk, indemnification, Adamson, half-English, Biblical naming, The Skids, Richard Jobson, Travers, Lowson, H.P. Lovecraft's Supernatural Horror In Literature, building or rebuilding an ancestral home, The Moon Bog, The Rats In The Walls, they have the exact same structure, illness, lifted up into the sky, Ashtaroth the Moon goddess, Captain Norris, Magna Mater, Exham Priory, "what on Earth is going on here man?", Out Of The Earth by Christine Campbell Thomson (aka Flavia Richardson), standing stones, mummy fiction, atavism, reverting to ancestral type, seeing things backwards, the industries that allow you to work, an inversion, an environmental horror story, silver bark, a beautiful image, Ishtar -> Ashtaroth, male and female spelling, an interest in weird fiction, one of the big names, scant detail, The Golden Bough, To The Devil A Daughter (1976), Astarte, a punny title, if this is a true story…, the covenant, the "Call of Ashtaroth", the blood ritual, body horror, a psychic impasse, a taste, is there more than one force at work?, Of Withered Apples by Philip K. Dick, an apple tree, a bad farm, eating a withered apple is a bad move, the call of nature, it wants you, its using you, the last portal through, not of this Earth, a moonbeam, She by H. Rider Haggard, elegiac and wistful, a pleasure to read, layers and layers, old school weird fiction, layers of questioning and ambiguity, homages and reinterpretations, Neil Gaiman, Warren Ellis, Alan Moore, Michael Moorcock, no clear lines, ambiguity comes to the fore, vs. early 20th century polemic, it would be an amazing comic book, visually stunning, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the albatross of The Thirty-Nine Steps, literary highways and byways, The Moon Endureth, Christopher Hitchens essays,
"In a remarkable short story, 'The Grove of Ashtaroth,' the hero finds himself obliged to destroy the gorgeous little temple of a sensual cult, because he believes that by doing so he will salvage the health and sanity of a friend. But he simultaneously believes himself to be committing an unpardonable act of desecration, and the eerie voice that beseeches him to stay his hand is unmistakably feminine."
-Christopher Hitchens (The Atlantic Monthly, March 2004)

Sir Robert Hart was born in Ireland but went away to work for the British Consulate in China. The story starts when a young Sir Robert Hart arrives in China. The year is 1854. After spending a few weeks learning how to speak Chinese ends up sailing on a ship called Iona, which is a schooner for opium. Sir Robert Hart meets a variety of people like Captain Dan Patridge, Payne Hollister; the British Consul, Guan-jiah; Sir Robert Hart's trusty servant, Ward; a mercenary general, and his two concubines Ayaou and her sister Shao-mei. Sir Robert Hart meets Ayaou for the first time while invading a Taipings break camp to rescue some men. Sir Robert Hart has love only for Ayaou but soon learns that it is very uncommon to love only one woman. Ayaou even tells Sir Robert Hart one day that "I don't know what it's like where you come from, but in China a girl is born to be a foot warmer for a man." Sir Robert Hart lived in China for about fifty-five years until he moved back to his home country of Ireland to day an old man.
Mr. Lloyd Lofthouse did an amazing job with My Splendid Concubine. I thought Sir Robert Hart's story was a beautiful one of romance for both his concubines as well as the country of China. I have to admit I have never heard of Sir Robert Hart but after reading his story I have a great admiration for what he did in addition to his determination to learn the culture there and become a Chinamen. You can definitely tell all the labor of love Mr. Lloyd Lofthouse put into writing My Splendid Concubine. Mr. Lofthouse wanted to tell the earlier years of Sir Robert Hart and when he was an interpreter for the British Consulate in Ningpo with his concubine Ayaou. Thank you, Mr. Lofthouse for making sure Sir Robert Hart's story got told.


The Magnus hook connector is used to create node jointsin timber-frame construction. This joint is impressive above all because itcan be completely prefabricated, which in turn minimises assembly timeson the construction site. The connector consists of two differentcomponents, as well as wood construction screws and fixing screws.The two separate parts of Magnus are attached to the respective structuralmembers using the wood construction screws and then slotted into oneanother smoothly without the need to apply force.The two components are braced against one another using fixing screws.This provides effective prevention against the joint being loosenedinadvertently.With high verified load values, joints created by the Magnus can bestatically loaded in five directions.Installation can be both visible (for shadow-groove connections) andhidden (milled in).
1. Adjust the end stop of the milling and assembly jig to the desiredsize of the Magnus hook connector, apply and screw on themilling and assembly jig, and create a routed slot with thecorresponding groove-milling cutter.
2. The Magnus is then inserted into the routed slot and fastened inplace using the supplied system screws. Following this, the millingand assembly jig is placed in the same position as before on thecomponent that is to be connected, and the second part of theMagnus hook connector is screwed on.Pre-assembly is now complete, and the component beingconnected is hooked in place.
3. The fixing screws are then inserted into the Magnus.This pulls the Magnus hook connector together, if necessary,and ensures correct positioning of the node joint.
Installation can be both visible (for shadow-groove joints) and hidden(milled in). The assembly example shows hidden installation.In this type of installation, there is no need to mill out a slot, and themilling and assembly jig is used only as an assembly jig.

Available on iTunes, Tubi TV
Today in the United States, by the simple acts of feeding ourselves, we are unwittingly participating in the largest experiment ever conducted on human beings. Each of us unknowingly consumes genetically engineered food on a daily basis. The risks and effects to our health and the environment are largely unknown. Yet more and more studies are being conducted around the world, which only provide even more reason for concern. We are the oblivious guinea pigs for wide-scale experimentation of modern biotechnology. GMO OMG tells the story of a fathers discovery of GMOs in relationship to his 3 young children and the world around him. We still have time to heal the planet, feed the world, and live sustainably. But we have to start now!

Pierce College's cheerleaders are not only dedicated students, but they are also a bonded group devoted to encouraging the Brahma sport teams and representing the school in the best way they can.
The squad is made up of 24 cheerleaders, six men and 18 women who practice twice a week at The Pit, Pierce's soccer field. They practice stunts where they throw their fellow cheerleaders into the air and they also rehearse sideline cheers in order to prepare for the football games.
Cheering is a creative escape, according to cheer coach Jenny Johnson.
"It's amazing to know that they can represent the school in a positive way and feel good about it," said Johnson.
The squad also cheers for the school's basketball and volleyball teams.
"All our hard work goes to rally the crowd, get interactive with the game, and push the team for a big break," said squad member Edel Serafin.


The ESP32 is a cutting edge microcontroller about the size of a stamp, which is strongly suited to IoT applications. The chip is made by Espressif and is the successor to their popular ESP8266 WiFi microcontroller. There are a couple of variants to the ESP32 but most feature dual 32bit processing cores as well as an ultra-low power core for a battery saving deep sleep. This point alone is pretty impressive, but there is more, the ESP32 features on-board WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity! It also has 4Mb (megabits not bytes) of memory which is pretty good by microcontroller standards.
There are a staggering amount of 3rd party development boards out there utilising the ESP32. Some are very good and some are not so good – this is largely down to documentation being sparse, the first boards that I bought had unreadable silkscreen and no documentation whatsoever! There is also an older revision of silicon which effectively breaks some features though I couldn't say which ones. The WeMos Lolin32 boards are inexpensive (my first one cost £8.99!) and very good, and Adafruit and Sparkfun have made their own brand dev boards. The PyCom multi-network boards are also based on the ESP32. Some development boards have LiPo handling circuitry built in and some have an on board OLED which is pretty cool if you have a use for it.
The ESP32 is more challenging to get into as it is very new and some aspects of the firmware are still being developed. It uses 3v3 logic on all pins and has little to no protective circuitry built in, so it is easy to cook if you don't take care. For anyone used to the Arduino platform, I would recommend that you get started using the Atom Text Editor with the PlatformIO package installed (both are free). There are many reasons to switch to Atom/PlatformIO but the main benefit here is ESP32 board libraries will be automatically kept up to date for you – I am pretty sure at the time of writing this that if you want to work with the Arduino IDE then you have to do some of the installation by running scripts with a command line interface on your computer, and this won't keep things up to date. It isn't worth me documenting the process here because firmware development is so fluid right now that things could change at any point. Platform IO is not a giant leap from the Arduino IDE by any means, so this is my recommended route if you are interested using the ESP32 for your projects.
One final note, keen developers have ported the MicroPython framework to the ESP32 and it works very well.


For all the ex-cell-ent mothers out there!
Moms give us many things. They give us roots to grow and wings to fly. But less metaphorically, moms give babies their first cell - an egg cell - from their limited supply. Now you can give it back with 100% interest, plus thank a mom for sharing her smart and her heart with this plush bouquet.
Whether it's your mom you're thanking or someone embarking on the adventure of motherhood, she'll enjoy this plush bouquet, which contains two egg cells (human ova), two brain cells (neurons), and two hearts. Each one will fit in the palm of your hand. The little plush are attached to their stems with plastic snaps, making it a snap to convert them from bouquet to auto dangler or juggling toy and back again. They arrive in a cellophane wrap, ready for gifting.

There are programmes available aimed at those new to the game, those seeking improvement and juniors. Set out below is the core of what we believe is a centre of excellence that the club is proud to offer.
At the heart of this service is the Swing Studio located in the original old clubhouse overlooking the 8th green and 9th and 1st tee. Using the latest CAD FACILITIES AND VIDEO your swing will be carefully analysed and programmes put in place to improve your enjoyment and give you a competitive edge.
For those starting the game it enables you to build a picture of your swing and the path to better scores. For the low handicap players it enables your swing to be fine-tuned to improve your scores.
As a new member you will be offered a free swing analysis and for your clubs to be checked out too.
But if you want to improve your game then a great starting point would be a session in the swing studio.
For all golfers whatever their skills, ambitions or ages having your next set of new clubs properly fitted to suit your individual needs will help you enjoy your golf more, lower your scores, and build your confidence.
Open to both members and non-members it helps ensure that investing in new clubs is rewarded with better play and enjoyment.
"I would recommend Maurice to anyone looking to buy new clubs. The combination of the swing studio and fitting centre coupled with his huge breadth of knowledge resulted in a fantastic set of irons, perfectly fitted at a fair price. What stood out for me was his explanation of each spec, and what each was meant to do. It has given me tremendous confidence in my game and new clubs. It shows in my game."
"I recently bought a new set of clubs, but have never had them fitted before. The whole experience was great fun, I also learnt a lot about my swing. The new clubs are an instant success and confidence boosting"

Originally imagined as the ultimate Miesian tribute, in the most democratic form, this scaled structure embodies both the intent and vernacular of the great creator, while retreating into a sort of anti-crescendo, accepting a commonality which embraces a cultural subsurface unimagined as any acceptable view of a more symmetrical future. This work functions not only as illusion of respite from societies woes, but also invitation to conform to continued miseries. Ultimately during its creation a larger aesthetic took form allowing for much greater symbolism beyond mere admiration.
Conceived as a primitive representation of the relationship between time and space, this expansive linear mosaic takes theoretical physics beyond equation, paying homage to one of histories most transformative imaginings, through a completely original interactive art installation. This individual piece of the greater work shows the intricacies of the construction and operational elements, which have the ability to entice even the most reluctant viewer.
Constructed using high quality ferrum composite, painted and then applied with a fine patina of weathered grime, this unique sculpture serves as a politically charged visual metaphor for the welcoming arms of Lady Liberty and the land that she represents. This deconstruction of a national symbol is as unique as its inspiration, inviting people of all nations to contribute to its continued growth and continual re imagination.
The complexity and intricacy of this print decollate bespeaks the allegory it enlivens: deflated abandonment found at the end of profound relationship and the vampiric nature of true love. The ultimate genius of this work is the unseen gestalt, which emerges with the viewer's epiphany that affection, while fleeting, is ultimately replaced repeatedly with similar experiences. The aluminum base of this piece, by design, allows for constant reconsideration.
A triumph of organic re imagination, this unique public installation symbolizes the cyclical nature of life and society, imagining humankind as beast, leaving remnants of rebirth, as skin is shed, and its constrictive nature reemerges again and again. The artist in creating this work envisioned a world with wild schizophrenic need to undulate from one actuality to the next.


Google's big move into ethics-theatre backfires.
Given that the tech giants, which have been ethics-free zones from their foundations, owe their spectacular growth partly to the fact that they have, to date, been entirely untroubled either by legal regulation or scruples about exploiting taxation loopholes, this Damascene conversion is surely something to be welcomed, is it not? Ethics, after all, is concerned with the moral principles that affect how individuals make decisions and how they lead their lives.
That charitable thought is unlikely to survive even a cursory inspection of what is actually going on here. In an admirable dissection of the fourth of Google's "principles" ("Be accountable to people"), for example, Prof David Watts reveals that, like almost all of these principles, it has the epistemological status of pocket lint or those exhortations to be kind to others one finds on evangelical websites. Does it mean accountable to "people" in general? Or just to Google's people? Or to someone else's people (like an independent regulator)? Answer comes there none from the code.
Postscript: Since this column was written, Google has announced that it is disbanding its ethics advisory council – the likely explanation is that the body collapsed under the weight of its own manifest absurdity.
That still leaves the cynical absurdity of Google's AI 'principles' to be addressed, though.
What makes a 'tech' company?
The Blackrock Blog points out that something strange is going on in the investment world.
MSCI and S&P are updating their Global Industry Classification Standards (GICS), a framework developed in 1999, to reflect major changes to the global economy and capital markets, particularly in technology.
Take Google, a company long synonymous with "tech" and internet software. Google parent Alphabet derives the bulk of its revenue from advertising, but also makes money from apps and hardware, and operates side ventures including Waymo, a unit that makes self-driving cars. Decisions about what makes a "tech" giant are not as simple as they once were.
The sector classification overhaul, set in motion last year, will begin in September and affect three of the 11 sector classifications that divide the global stock market. A newly created Communications Services sector will replace a grouping that is currently called Telecommunications Services. The new group will be populated by legacy Telecom stocks, as well as certain stocks from the Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary categories.
Facebook and Alphabet will move from Information Technology to Communications Services in GICS-tracking indexes. Meanwhile, Netflix will move from Consumer Discretionary to Communications Services. None of what the media has dubbed the FANG stocks (Facebook, Amazon.com, Netflix and Google parent Alphabet) will be classified as Information Technology after the GICS changes, perhaps a surprise to those who think of internet innovation as "tech." The same applies to China's BAT stocks (Baidu, Alibaba Group and Tencent). All of these were Information Technology stocks before the changes; none will be after.
This change is probably only significant for index funds, but still, it must rather dent the self-image of the 'tech' boys to be categorised as merely "communications services"!
Spool forward to the tragic case of Molly Russell, the 14-year-old who killed herself after exploring her depression on Instagram. When her family looked into her account, they found sombre material about depression and suicide. Her father said that he believed the Facebook-owned platform had "helped kill my daughter". This prompted Matt Hancock, the health secretary, to warn social media platforms to "purge" material relating to self-harm and suicide or face legislation that would compel them to do so. In response, Instagram and Pinterest (another social media outfit) issued the standard bromides about how they were embarking on a "full review" of their policies etc.
INTERNET GIANT Google now pays more in European fines than it does in taxes, the firm's fourth-quarter earnings have revealed.
Google owner Alphabet company reported Q4 revenues up 22 per cent to $39.28bn, while annual revenues were up 23 per cent to $136.8bn.
The company also took the time to separate out "European Commission fines" in its consolidated statements of income in the company's accounts. These increased from $2.7bn in 2017 to $5.1bn in 2018, with a further €50m already set to be added to the bill for its first quarter and 2019 accounts, thanks to French data protection authority CNIL.
That compares to a provision for income taxes of just $4.2 billion for 2018, or 12 per cent of its pre-tax income.
Today's Observer carries a five-page feature about Shoshana Zuboff's The Age of Surveillance Capitalism consisting of an intro by me followed by Q&A between me and the author.
LATER Nick Carr has a perceptive review of the book in the LA Review of Books. John Thornhill also had a good long review in last Saturday's Financial Times, sadly behind a paywall.
The Register has a rather good report of the two investigations carried out for the Senate Intelligence Committee — and it highlights something that other reports seem to have missed — how the social media giants did their best to be, er, unhelpful.
The second Senate-commissioned report, written by Oxford University's Internet Institute, reached the same conclusion: that the Russian campaign was large, sophisticated, and focused on Donald Trump's election as president.
In this report, however, researchers also take time to criticize the response of the social networking giants to their efforts to understand what had happened: the internet titans were extremely unhelpful, even after being publicly chastised in the press and in Congress.
The worst offender may have been Google, which supplied very little information and when it did, supplied in it hard-to-search PDFs, making it difficult and time-consuming to analyze. Facebook was no better: simply refusing to hand over information and limiting what it did send to English-language pages. Even the most responsive company – Twitter – only sent the researchers shortlinks, as opposed to full URLs, making it harder to use other tools to track their impact and links across the internet.
The New Knowledge report says the same, noting that the companies also appear to have stripped meta data from the information they sent i.e. they actively tried to disrupt efforts to understand the reach and impact of Russian propaganda efforts.
In short, the two reports tell us what we already knew: that there was a large, organized Russian campaign in favor of Donald Trump; that the campaign used divisive social issues to attract people's attention and push its messages; and the tech companies were caught completely unawares and then responded incredibly defensively when the size and scope of the propaganda campaign was revealed.
The difference from previous dossiers is that these reports are comprehensive and detailed. And they clearly identify the strategies and targets where previously much of the detail was anecdotal or intelligent conjecture. And, of course, we learned that Instagram punches above its weight, and the Russian campaign was so well resourced that it even bothered to post on Google+.
If antitrust is due for a revival, just what should the antitrust law be doing? What are its most obvious targets? Compiled here (in alphabetical order) , and based on discussions with other antitrust experts, is a collection of the law's most wanted — the firms or industries that are ripe for investigation.
Investigation questions: Does Amazon have buying power in the employee markets in some areas of the country? Does it have market power? Is it improperly favoring its own products over marketplace competitors?
Investigation question: In light of this, was the trial court's approval of the AT&T and Time Warner merger clearly in error?
Over the last five years, the agricultural seed, fertilizer, and chemical industry has consolidated into four global giants: BASF, Bayer, DowDuPont, and ChemChina. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, seed prices have tripled since the 1990s, and since the mergers, fertilizer prices are up as well.
Investigation question: Were these mergers wrongly approved in the United States and Europe?
The pharmaceutical industry has a long track record of anticompetitive and extortionary practices, including the abuse of patent rights for anticompetitive purposes and various forms of price gouging.
Investigation and legislative questions: Are there abuses of the patent system that are still ripe for investigation? Can something be done about pharmaceutical price gouging on drugs that are out of patent or, perhaps more broadly, the extortionate increases in the prices of prescription drugs?
Having acquired competitors Instagram and WhatsApp in the 2010s in mergers that were arguably illegal, it has repeatedly increased its advertising load, incurred repeat violations of privacy laws, and failed to secure its networks against foreign manipulation while also dealing suspicious blows to competitor Snapchat. No obvious inefficiencies attend its dissolution.
Investigation questions: Should the Instagram and WhatsApp mergers be retroactively dissolved (effectively breaking up the company)? Did Facebook use its market power and control of Instagram and Instagram Stories to illegally diminish Snapchat from 2016–2018?
Investigation question: Has Google anticompetitively excluded its rivals?
Investigation questions: Has Live Nation used its power as a promoter to protect Ticketmaster's monopoly on sales? Was Songkick the victim of an illegal exclusion campaign? Should the Ticketmaster/Live Nation union be dissolved?
Investigation question: Would the merger between T-Mobile and Sprint likely yield higher prices and easier coordination among the three remaining firms?
The U.S. airline industry is the exemplar of failed merger review.
Investigation and regulatory questions: Should one or more of the major mergers be reconsidered in light of new evidence? Alternatively, given the return to previous levels of concentration, should firmer regulation be imposed, including baggage and change-fee caps, minimum seat sizes, and other measures?
Legislative question: Should Congress or the states impose higher levels of scrutiny for health care and hospital mergers?
ype "What is the future of search?" into Google and in 0.47 seconds the search engine replies with a list of sites asking the same question, together with a note that it had found about 2,110,000,000 other results. Ponder that number for a moment, for it reflects the scale of the information explosion that was triggered by Tim Berners-Lee's invention of the web in 1989-90. Back then there were no search engines because there was no need for them: there were very few websites in those early days.
Google turned 20 recently and the anniversary prompted a small wave of reflections by those who (like this columnist) remember a world BG (before Google), when information was much harder to find. The nicest one I found was a blog post by Ralph Leighton, who was a friend of Richard Feynman, the late, great theoretical physicist.
Early one Sunday morning a month ago, a German carpenter was fatally stabbed in a street fight in Chemnitz in eastern Germany. Little is known about how the brawl started, but rumours rapidly circulated online that the man was defending a woman from sexual assault. Within hours of his death, rumours that his killers were two refugees triggered a violent reaction. For two nights running, thousands of rightwing extremists and sympathisers took to the streets of the city. Shocking videos of demonstrators openly using the Nazi salute (a criminal offence in Germany) and chasing and attacking people of foreign appearance rapidly appeared online.
The reverberations of the riots continue to roil German politics and society. They appear to have given a massive boost to the right-wing AfD party, for example, which according to some opinion polls is now in second place in Germany. And last week, Angela Merkel removed the head of the domestic intelligence agency, Hans-Georg Maaßen, from his post after he faced criticism for his reaction to anti-immigrant protests in the city of Chemnitz. He had cast doubt on the authenticity of the videos showing dark-skinned people being chased and attacked.
What's going on? How did many Germans become so worked up about a street brawl?


Sam Richardson, 35 & a State Dept. diplomat in Washington, D.C., drives home on a Friday night to the suburb of Alexandria, Va. He greets his wife Laura & 2 sons, Scobie, 8 & Matthew, 5. He also has a baby Quentin. After the boys go to bed, Sam & Laura entertain company for dinner. They discuss Sam's working too hard, & moving & how moving affects kids. The next day, Saturday, Sam spends at home with the family. The boys tell him about the neighborhood bully whom they call Pig. Sam suggests they stop calling him Pig & try to understand him. After dinner, as Sam tucks the boys in bed, reassuring them about the bully, he wonders, as he has throughout the story, how his boys will turn out.

Jamaican Artist
Cecil Baugh
In an era when pottery was still regarded as a lesser art form Cecil Baugh was a pioneer in educating Jamaican art lovers and gaining their respect for its fine art status. Cecil Baugh first developed an interest in clay making and ceramics as a young man living in Kingston. His first contact came through the Trenchfield sisters who lived in his Mountain View community. Originally from St Elizabeth, the sister made 'yabbas' in the traditional African way, and Baugh who had never seen these techniques in his home parish of Portland, became fascinated. He also recognized that making pots was a lucrative business, especially in the days before refrigeration when 'yabbas' were used for cool storage. Along with a fellow potter Wilfred Lord he established the Cornwall Works in Montego Bay, but later transferred to St Ann and then back to Kingston. Always innovative, Baugh worked to develop his techniques in pot making, experimenting with glazes and learning the intricacies of kiln firing to perfect his skills. Increasingly he moved further from the African tradition towards Western and Asian styles achieving his own distinctive coloured glazes.
