biggest opinion 180s
January 2016 in General
things you believed/liked/didn't like at one point that you've completely turned around on
biggest example for me is Discovery. used to think it was dece but now it's even better than Homework for me
thesamuelcooke
In Rainbows was shite up until a month or so ago.
Milo is getting less and less important to me sadly.
Heroes is quickly rising up the list of my top Bowie albums.
Star Wars films were my shit for 15 years. They don't hold up being as good in my head. Where's nostalgia when I need it?
Red onion is the best vegetable thing. Couldn't stand it last week!
@Robby I actually thought Discovery was absolutely fucking terrible at one point.
granted Alive 2007 is still my favorite
I used to think pop was all shit for the uninitiated masses. Now I think it has a lot of potential to be a really powerful art form.
Shootymane
I think we can all remember the shootyman I was when I first joined here
Well at this point not even all of us, man I've been here too long
And you guys have been here so much longer
I am the petit bourgeoisie of forum time
i've been going for the opinion 1080 lately after landing some pretty steezy 900s on dem bolts
but 180s are definitely an atomic trick
i'd wager that if humans could do 180s every day we would be a much more interesting species
When I was in highschool I REALLY liked the band HURT. Now...uhh...not so much.
Also about a year ago I ate mushrooms and capsicum after hating both in my youth. Now I can't get enough of them.
I was an alt rock radio kid in high school. Incubus was my favorite band back then. Now, not so much.

Something about that mic-drop of a performance made me listen to it again and it really resonated with me this time around, to the point where I'd put it in my top ten of last year should I ever make that list. I can't come up w/ a good explanation why I felt slightly impartial to it, except maybe I wasn't in the right mindset to fully get it when it came out?
Another one but more personal to me is Silver Linings Playbook. That was my #1 the year it came out. I loved/related to it so much. But I distanced myself from it, and now that I'm older and a bit wiser, the last third seriously doesn't vibe with me anymore. That ending – especially – is total BS, and that's probably the reason why DOR had a twenty year old take the part? Because an actual grown up woman would mostly likely show resistance in going along with it. Which leads to this: DOR needs to stop making her play these roles that are too old for her because it takes a lot of suspending disbelief. She was definitely too young to understand who she was playing in that.
Though I would still take SLP over Joy any time. I can write an essay on how all over the place it is, and it really cements DOR's shortcomings when it comes to making non manic characters.
Silver Linings Playbook is about as accurate to the lives of mentally ill people as Fifty Shades of Grey is to the lives of BDSM people

the whole glorification of mental illness in the american media as "oh they're just quirky" is super fucking annoying. we have this idea that people with mental illness are somehow more complex or deeper but the truth is the real thing isn't fun
so many hollywood movies the premise is "find someone who has the same problems you do and then you will both be magically cured!"
I was annoyed by Waka Flocka Flame when he first got big off of "No Hands" but I listened to Flockaveli a while after it came out (like December 2010) and my opinion changed for the better after the first 3 tracks.
Also, I don't know what happened, but now everything by Tame Impala sounds to me like it came out of a can for some reason. Really bad. That's been going on for a few months. I've tried to get really high and listen to Lonerism and it doesn't do anything for me anymore, and actually pisses me off a bit.
I used to hate onions but that has changed a lot. I also hated all American food besides like fried chicken for a while when I was like 10-13 but that has also changed.
Flockaveli was one of the albums that helped me get over my ridiculous "hip hop has to be LYRICAL" (whatever i thought "lyrical" entailed at the time) conceits
I liked a lot of "non-lyrical" rap before then, I enjoyed Ludacris and Plies and stuff lol so I don't even remember why I didn't like "No Hands" but it might've just been bc it was way overplayed.
Flockaveli revitalized / reinforced my enjoyment of hip hop as a whole.
have you guys seen recent waka interviews? the dudes become like an arch vegan zen master and can pull off an impression of himself back when flockavelli dropped while also being himself which shows that dude must have grown a lot psychologically.
i thought king krule's debut album was pretty good in 2013 but now it's so hard to care for it, like my mind would blank out after the first 4-5 songs. and i don't even care to listen to his most recent release too.
^I still really love that release but a lot of people I know do not care for it as much as they used to.
The 1975 have turned around my opinion of them based on their newest record. I couldn't stand their s/t debut but this one is much more interesting and less insanely pretentious.
I thought about listening to that but then I saw it was 74 minutes.
Who do they think they are the Smashing Pumpkins?
TTK
That's interesting Max.
I feel that 6 Feet Beneath the Moon is one of the best albums to come out this decade.
looooove it
Yeah it's really fucking long. A real task for an album that is an acquired taste, not because their sound is weird (it isn't, i don't need to tell you that though) but because the singers personality is so eyeroll-worthy lol. A vast majority of the tracks are really good, the only one I would cut on first listen is Loving Somebody which contains lyrics about "the media selling sex" even though they had a song called Sex on their last album. Case in point. "Paris" is also less great than other tracks.
Their lyrics on this one really sound like emo revival, which fits really well with the title. Instrumentally every song sounds pretty different, there's 80's pop, funk-rock (think David Bowie's Fame, which is more or less ripped off in the first full length track but nothing is original these days), ambient, shoegaze, and folk. On their last record every song sounded exactly the same to me.
gave Reflektor a very thorough listen, paying attn to it 100% and FINALLY, recognize it as a strong piece of work. All the tracks are stellar. why did i not see it before?
this is easily a top 20 album of the decade; only Funeral beats it
jk the album's garbage
it's also the most garbage
geogadd1
i never thought of reflektor as garbage. just way too bloated. could be a pretty good album if the tracklist were as follows:
1. reflektor
2. we exist
3. flashbulb eyes
4. here comes the night time
5. here comes the night time ii
6. awful sound
7. it's never over
8. afterlife
9. supersymmetry
as you can see, i'm not a fan of the second half of disk 1.
I'm not a fan of the first half or second half of disc one or disc two

Ladi Kwali Pottery
Encyclopedia » Places
Dr Ladi Kwali was Nigeria's best known potter. She left a rich legacy of her work and a school of 'students' who picked up from where she left at the Abuja Pottery Training Centre. She grew up in a family in which the womenfolk made pots for a living.
She was born in the village of Kwali in the Gwari region of Northern Nigeria, where pottery was a common occupation among women. She learned to make pottery as a child using the traditional method of coiling. She made large pots for use as water jars and cooking pots from coils of clay, beaten from the inside with a flat wooden paddle. They were decorated with incised geometric and stylised figurative patterns. Following the traditional African method, they were fired in a bonfire of dry vegetation
Her pots were noted for their beauty of form and decoration. Several were acquired by the Emir of Abuja, in whose home they were seen by Michael Cardew in 1950. In 1954, she joined Cardew's pottery training centre in Abuja, its only woman potter, where she learned to throw pots on the wheel. She made dishes, bowls and beakers with sgraffito decoration but also continued to produce pots using her traditional hand building and decorating techniques. Most of these were glazed and fired in a high-temperature kiln and therefore represent an interesting hybrid of traditional African with western studio pottery
Through Kwali's contact with Cardew, she and her work became known in Europe, Britain and America. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, her work was shown to great acclaim in London at the Berkeley Galleries. She became Nigeria's best-known potter, was awarded a doctorate and was made MBE in 1963. The Abuja Pottery was renamed the Ladi Kwali Pottery and a major street in Abuja is called Ladi Kwali Road.

Stool ball: a medieval baseball game
by Wenyeva atte grene
The game we know as baseball may be relatively modern, but it has medieval roots. Many bat-and-ball games were played throughout the Middle Ages at religious festivals and events. One game, stool ball (sometimes possibly stow ball, or stob ball, or stump ball) dates back at least to the 14th century, and many historians believe that it is the common ancestor of both baseball and cricket. It was also the first bat-and-ball-type game known to have been played in North America (at Plymouth in 1621 at Christmastime, no less, much to the chagrin of Governor Bradford). In this game, the pitcher tries to hit a stool or stump with the ball, while the batter tries to defend the target using bare hands or a bat.
Stool ball was known for being played by both women and men together, and there are indications that it was a sort of springtime ritual, played at Eastertime. Some of the poetic mentions of the game imply an undertone of sexuality; "playing at stool ball" was used at least once as an euphemism.
In many stool ball games, tansy-cakes were the traditional winners' prize. Tansy-cakes were a traditional Eastertime food (see here, and a recipe here), so this is another connection of stool ball to Easter celebrations.
Unfortunately, no one knows exactly what the rules of the period versions of stool ball were. Since it was a folk game, it was likely to have varying rules at various times and places. From post-period references to the game, we know that in some versions of the game, there was no bat, and bare hands were used instead. Other versions had no baserunning, just a single stool or stump base that the batter was expected to defend. But bats and running the bases were included in some versions, too. For more about stool ball, see the sources listed at the end of this page.
This is a "historically plausible" version of the game. Since we don't know much about how the medieval game was played, I tried to extrapolate from what little we do know about stool ball and related historic bat and ball games, as well as making the game simple, friendly, and safe for players of all ages and abilities. The result is a game that bears some resemblance to both cricket and baseball, though it is much simpler than either, and is quite believable as a medieval game -- and it's a lot of fun!
The field dimensions aren't strict. This is just a suggested size. The game can be played in a smaller area or even indoors, though it's harder to score runs on a smaller field.
The object of the game
A stool, chair, or stump is placed at Home, and another one (or a similar marker) as the Base. Mark the Batter's Line with something visible, like a stick or a strip of fabric, etc. The pitcher stands near the Base and throws the ball underhand toward Home, trying to hit the Home stool with the pitch. The batter stands at the Batter's Line and tries to prevent the pitcher's throw from hitting the Home stool, by hitting the ball away with the bat. If the batter hits the ball, he can run around the Base and back Home, and if he does this before the fielders can hit the Home stool with the ball, he scores a run. Team with the most runs wins!
Swing as much as you want! There are no "strikes" or "balls". The batter stays at bat until a hit is made or the pitcher hits the Home with the ball.
Any contact is a hit. There are no "fouls" or "foul tips". RUN!
On hitting the ball, the batter must run counterclockwise around the outside of the Base. The batter may not stop on the Base -- once you start running, you have to run around the Base and all the way back home. You must touch the Home stool when you get there, but you don't have to touch the Base.
Batter is out when:
The pitcher hits Home with the ball while the batter is at bat
Any fielder catches the hit ball in the air, without a bounce
Any fielder hits Home with the ball while the batter is running to Base and back to Home. But…
Fielders must be on the Base side of the Batter's Line when throwing the ball at the Home target. So if the batter hits the ball behind Home (what in baseball would be a foul), the batter runs, and the fielders can go get the ball… but they can't throw it at Home and put the batter out until they get back on the other (Base) side of the batter's line.
Every player on the team gets one at-bat per inning. Each team gets the same number of innings at bat, but other than that the game can go on until the teams mutually agree to quit.
All players must have fun! :)
Equipment is simple. You need a very soft ball. (Not a softball or a baseball!) A soft ball can be walloped pretty hard, but no gloves or helmets are necessary for safe play. You can use a medieval pattern that will provide a ball of just about the perfect softness, though if you don't have time to make a ball, you will probably be able to find a ball at a toy store that will work. A Nerf ball might work.
The ball pictured on the right was made from a pattern that was used for many leather balls throughout medieval Europe. The pattern is pictured on the left (not to scale). The three pieces were cut from soft leather. They were sewn together inside-out until only a slit remained. Then the ball was turned rightside-out and stuffed with scraps of woven wool fabric until it seemed to be the right amount, and has become ball-shaped instead of cylindrical. The last slit was then stitched up. Then I topstitched over the entire ball for durability.
Amazingly, this ball has some bounce to it, and it's easy to catch bare-handed because it has some give. With the topstitching, it has held up through several games so far, and I haven't had to resort to the spare toy store balls I brought in case of emergency.
The bat can be anything that seems to work for you. A baseball bat is probably overkill (as well as obtrusively modern), but in a pinch, it will work. I decided to make something that sort of resembled a cricket bat, or a bread paddle, or a butter paddle. The modern-day stool ball players in Sussex use something that looks like a table tennis paddle with a long handle. Early stool ball players just hit the ball with their hands, so you can do that too!
My stool ball bat, as seen in the photo to the right, is about 24 inches long, cut from a poplar board. I finished it with wood stain and painted my badge on it. The handle is wrapped with a strip of leather. The bat is fairly lightweight, so players of all ages have had no trouble with it.
You will also need a stool to serve as Home (a short three-legged stool, like a milking stool, works really well, but a tree stump works too. In a pinch we use camping chairs, but their larger size tends to make it easier to hit the stool with the ball, and so the game is more low-scoring), and something to mark the base (another stool, or a post, etc.). Something to mark the batter's line, such as a piece of string, is good to have as well.
That is all the equipment necessary!
Alternative ways to play
Every village probably had its own way to play, just as many households today have their own "house rules" for Monopoly. So if you want to change the game, go right ahead! Here are some ideas, marked with a * if they are period or likely-period variations:
Use your bare hands to hit the ball instead of the bat. *
Add the "soak 'em" rule: Runners can be put out by hitting them with the ball (don't do this unless your ball is very soft!). *
Add the retaliation rule: When teams change sides, if the team that has just gone "out" can run onto the field, pick up the ball, and hit one of the other team's members before they leave the field, the "out" team gets to bat again! This can be really rowdy. It's an authentic rule from several early bat and ball games, including early baseball. *
Allow runners to stop at the base instead of having to run around it without stopping. Also, one might add multiple bases. *
Require that fielders only catch the ball in their clothing: their skirts or hats, for example.

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - A person was assaulted and robbed at gunpoint by three people near the University of Minnesota campus late Sunday night.
Shortly after 11 p.m., the victim, a former University of Minnesota student, was walking northbound on Pleasant Street Southeast and Pillsbury Drive Southeast when they were approached by three men wearing ski masks and dark clothing.
Two of the men assaulted the victim while the third threatened the victim with a gun. The suspects stole the victim's wallet and fled.
The victim described the suspects as late teenagers. No additional information on the suspects has been released.
Anyone with information on the armed robbery is asked to contact the University of Minnesota Police Department at 612-624-2677 and reference case number UM-2019-105053.
Zach Greenwald loves to dance.
The 16-year-old from Minnetonka spends hours after school committed to his passion.
"Dance has always been an artistic and emotional outlet for me," he said.
The warrior training has come under fire from critics who say it actually teaches officers to perceive everyone as a threat. Earlier this month, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey announced during his State of the City address he will no longer allow the training under his leadership. Minneapolis became the first department nationwide to eliminate this type of training.
"This is not the kind of training that people in Minnesota want to fund—it's not the kind of training that people in Minnesota want our officers to engage in," said Michelle Gross of Communities Against Police Brutality.

Auntie with Dhitti (left; now called The Rajbehra Female) and Chhoti (top; now called Kankati)
This sight was very common in that magical summer of 2009 when Auntie and her two female cubs were seen almost every afternoon at the Rajbehra Dam. Sometimes she'd lead the way and the cubs would follow and at other times one of the cubs would take her place in the water and Auntie would join later. Those days there were no routes to be adhered to in the afternoons, so we'd go straight to where the action was the moment the gate opened and occupy a prime position and wait for them to show up, which they usually did at around 5:10 – sometimes a bit earlier and sometimes a touch later.
In that hour and a half we'd be cooked ripe in the scorching sun but it'd be worth it, for from the time of their arrival there'd never be a dull moment. The cubs would be up to all sorts of playful antics, stalking, swimming in the water and charging at each other, and in most heartening sight, neither of them could stay away from their mother for too long and would take breaks from their sporting pursuits to rub faces with her in affection and for assurance. None of this would ever make Auntie smile visibly, though, and all the while she'd sport that quintessential serious look that earned her her soubriquet and occasionally even bare her teeth to her offspring should they overdo the affection act!
Although her presence was regular, Auntie herself never once stole the show. She'd always be in control but never in the limelight. Vastly different from her sister from the same litter, the late Siddhbaba female, she was far removed from what you'd call a showgirl. On any day, she'd rather occupy a quiet corner and watch dispassionately, soliciting no mischief and harbouring no nonsense and allowing her two mercurial daughters to hog all the attention.
Now why anyone would want to disturb the originality of such an idyllic setup is beyond any rational being, but the authorities quite inexplicably did just that by building a tedious "watch-tower" on the rocky outcrop to the southwest of the dam wall. This structure, which stands as a singular eyesore to date, is a cottage-shaped structure with a gap in the wall for viewing and 'protected' by an unsightly grille on all sides and located perilously close to where the tigers would settle down for cooling on hot summer days.
One afternoon, a family of tourists that included two children took position in the watch-tower on the afternoon ride. Now this was a very bad idea because when tigers were being seen regularly from vehicle, it was hard to understand why anyone would want to sneak into that ghastly enclosure and risk spooking a tiger off but that's what they did anyhow.
Sure enough at a little past five, one of the cubs made her way to the edge of the water right at the far corner on the east and sat inside. A short while later Auntie emerged behind the rocks, descended gradually, walked up to the corner going past her daughter and sat in the water, lapping up some of it. All the while, the family sat in the hideout, so far undetected, but with a cat's senses in the equation, that status wasn't to last long and inevitably, there must have been a whisper, a footfall, maybe the slightest brushing of clothes or probably even a slight movement of the head and sensing someone spying on her, Auntie instantly broadcast her profound displeasure at such unauthorized intrusion with a categorical snarl. Seconds later, in two bounds, she was out of the water, off the rocks and into the obscurity of the thick bushes beyond, leaving behind a disappointed audience imparting hostile looks to the occupants of the watch-tower, who sheepishly crawled out of their bunker and melted away from sight in an instant. After the grumbling guides and drivers left in a trickle, a deep silence fell in our hearts in light of what could have been.
Many feared that Auntie and her cubs would not return after this experience for some time at least during the day but just two days later she was back as though nothing had ever happened and gave me and many others some of the most memorable tiger-watching times of our lives, proving that like most cats, Auntie was gifted with the 'forgive and forget' spirit much more than an average human is!

Yes, America's greatest road trip drive follows an Interstate.
I hear the screams already. "An interstate? Across 300 miles of Godforsaken prairie?
Yes indeed. A great road trip needs more than scenery. If that's all you want, drive around southern Utah for a week. A great road trip needs more than roadside attractions: the Smoky Mountains have more, and tackier, tourist traps.
A great road trip requires anticipation. Nobody builds anticipation better than South Dakota, where billboards herald attractions that are still 300 miles away. In fact, nobody builds billboards better than South Dakotans, whose attitude toward billboard control laws was best demonstrated when Bill Hustead of Wall Drug became chairman of the state legislature's transportation committee.
South Dakota spent years challenging anti-billboard laws, arguing (in the words of a South Dakota federal judge) that "much of South Dakota is unattractive and that billboards contributed to safety, since they gave drivers something to look at while driving through boring landscape." And they were right. Without the billboards, South Dakota is Nebraska with less corn.
On to highlights of the South Dakota roadside!

I feel like I did years ago.
By the first day of treatment, I started feeling like a completely different person. Now I feel like many years ago. I walk with more strength and balance. I feel the gym work also helped a lot and Phil with his team mademiracles on my body. A.M.
When I first came to Panetta I had no feeling from my toes to the middle of my feet. I had practically no balance. I walked like a duck. I could not lift my left shoulder/arm and no coordination. Not to talk about the pain. This was Aug 2011. Don't forget about theknee pain ( Bilat DJD) It is now April 2012. Now I have feeling in the middle of my feet. I am walking so much better. I can lift my shoulder/arm. The pain is so much better. My knees are functioning better.
I had one of the best therapists – Dan Thabet – He is caring, cheerful, compassionate, patience, and understanding. He listens, highly professional & courtesy. Without him and his assistants I would not be where I am today. Jaclyn and the front office staff always greet with a smile, courtesy & professionally. Thank you Panetta B.R.
I am very pleased with care and attention I received here. Professional, courteous and very attentive to my needs. I tell everyone that asks how great the people are, In as much as I am recovered, I am sorry to end my sessions. J.C.
Came in on a walker – next month I'll climb mountains. A.P.

Female Fox News Correspondent Sues Company, Local NY Fox5 News Director for Sexual Harassment
■Media
by Roger Friedman - December 13, 2016 5:55 pm
Roger Ailes and Fox News are back in boiling water again. Fox News is being sued, along with New York Fox 5 News Director Byron Harmon, for sexual harassment by an Emmy winning female reporter. Ailes isn't a defendant, but his name and his alleged activities are outlined specifically.
The suit was filed by Lidia Curanaj, who details Ailes's randy and inappropriate behavior in detail. She was on the local news here in 2011, met Ailes at a dinner, and he invited her to come see him about moving up to the network. In his office, she says, Ailes asked her to twirl around, said he liked what he saw, told her Fox News female anchors' legs had to be good. Then he called her boyfriend, a State Senator, and asked "if the sex was good."
Oh boy. Curanaj, who's still at Fox5, obviously has had enough. You know, she's from the Bronx. She also has two two local Emmy Awards. She's also suing her news director, Byron Harmon. It just gets better and better. Curanaj says Harmon told her– thinking she was Albanian– that "all Albanians are criminals or doormen." She's American of Montenegrin descent. Among other things.
Here's the complaint.

Premier Brantley Advocates Greater Food Security for St. Kitts and Nevis in the Face of Global Recession
1 month ago ·2 min read
The content originally appeared on: ZIZ Broadcasting Corporation
CHARLESTOWN, NEVIS, December 18, 2022 (NIA)- Premier of Nevis, Hon. Mark Brantley, Leader of the Opposition of St. Kits and Nevis, is urging the federal government to vigorously pursue food security through the expansion of agriculture, as means to mitigate the impact of a threatening global recession.
He made the emotional plea on December 15, 2022, during his response to the near billion-dollar 2023 Budget proposed by Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Terrance Drew, Minister of Finance for St. Kitts and Nevis the previous day.
"We are at risk of a global recession. In fact, if we accept that there is a looming threat of a global recession then it means therefore that this Budget ought to respond to that and say to the people of the nation in light of this looming threat this is what we propose to do.
"Let us look at food. It is a truism that we must all eat. A lot of things we can live without, food is not one of them, and so it is critical that we start to re-orient our economy to look at greater food security…I believe the very first thing that any nation has to do is to seek to wean itself as much as possible off the importation of food, because if we can't feed ourselves then it means that we are immediately susceptible to control from outside."
Stressing the need for a re-emphasis on agriculture as an additional revenue earner for the Federation, Hon. Brantley pointed out that the industry would also provide more opportunities for entrepreneurship and employment, especially for young persons. He said those in authority should move to cultivate a different mindset as it relates to the traditional perspective of working in the sector.
"I am not suggesting unless I am misconstrued, that we go back to the days of riding donkeys and ploughing land and people out in the land working, that was back-breaking work; but I do believe that with technology that is now available to us- shade house technology, in particular, hydroponics- there is a lot that we can do which allows us to farm in a smart way and therefore allows more people to get in, potentially using less of a footprint in terms of land because what you can produce using shade house or hydroponics technology you may need acres of land to do that.
BOSL Choiseul To Officially Open January 28th 2023 – St. Lucia Times
"I feel that we now need to seek to start that conversation with our people, particularly our young people…and it needs to start on the corridors of power, the principles which run the country… This is, in my view, one of the responses that we now have to start to make to these exogenous issues that we cannot control. We need to seek to grow more and eat more locally and instil and inculcate in our people that there is value in agriculture, there's value in food production and that our young people especially can be motivated."
To this end, Premier Brantley suggested that the government provide financial resources to incentivize the thrust towards greater food security through St. Kitts and Nevis Development Bank, a special vehicle, or an existing investment agency, "to say to young people we're not just talking about agriculture, we are going to provide the necessary seed capital so that young people especially can get involved, those who have the vim, vigour and vitality. They have the ideas; they have the energy".

Stratford District Council challenges Government's 'irrational' Tier 3 decision
By Ben Lugg
blugg@stratford-herald.com
Published: 16:49, 01 December 2020
Stratford District Council leader Cllr Tony Jefferson says the district has been 'sacrificed on the altar of administrative convenience'
Stratford-on-Avon District Council is challenging the Government's decision to put Stratford-on-Avon District into Tier 3 after the current lockdown restrictions end.
The Conservative-controlled district council has sent a Judicial Review pre-action protocol letter to The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care (the DHSC).
Cllr Tony Jefferson, leader of Stratford-on-Avon District Council said: "This is not an action we take lightly, however none of the data we see warrants Stratford-on-Avon District being placed in Tier 3. It is very disappointing that the government did not use much greater granularity in deciding on tiers.
"I know that they have looked at a number of factors including the rates in all age groups, particularly older people who are more vulnerable to the virus; and we have to take into consideration the pressure on our local hospitals and NHS services. However, none of the metrics for our District warrant it being placed in tier 3. The decision to put Stratford District in Tier 3 therefore appears arbitrary and irrational.
"There is widespread feeling of disbelief and anger locally at Stratford District being in Tier 3. Our hospitality businesses are devastated by the news. People know the relevant numbers for the area and fail to see the decision as either an accurate reflection of the situation or fair. Locally, Tier 3 is just not seen as credible.
"The prospect of a review as late as 16 December is no consolation. Most hospitality businesses will not now open before Christmas, I understand the effort and logistics make this very difficult. The consequences for business survival and unemployment could be significant. This against the context of Stratford-on-Avon being seen as the 4th hardest hit council area in the country.
"This is why we have taken the dramatic step of initiating a Judicial Review pre action protocol."
The District Council is requesting the DHSC retracts the decision to put Stratford-on-Avon District into Tier 3 and put it into Tier 1 or 2 and/or to take all necessary steps to withdraw and/or amend the relevant regulations.

'Dorothy Perkins' rose References
Climbing Roses of the World
Book (2003) Page(s) 135.
it is ironic that the most successful seedling of 'Turner's Crimson Rambler' should have been brought into this world with a false declaration of parentage. Jackson & Perkins described Dorothy Perkins as a seedling of Rosa wichurana crossed by the pink Hybrid Perpetual 'Mme Gabrielle Luizet', but the similarity to 'Turner's Crimson Rambler' was noted immediately. There was a lively correspondence in many horticultural journals (especially in France) which pointed out that crosses between R. wichurana and Hybrid Perpetuals had produced very different roses with much larger flowers and concluded that the similarity of 'Dorothy Perkins' to 'Turner's Crimson Rambler' was more than a coincidence..... It is best to think of 'Dorothy Perkins' as the pink counterpart to 'Turner's Crimson Rambler'.

[planted at Elizabeth Park in Hartford, Connecticut (America's first municpal rose garden established in 1904)]... considered a great improvement over the once all-popular 'Crimson Rambler' because it was more resistant to mildew... developed by E. Alvin Miller, foreman and plant propagator at Jackson & Perkins, and it was named for the granddaughter of the founder of the company... From the time of its introduction until the shift to large-flowered, everblooming climbers in the 1930s, 'Dorothy Perkins' was the most popular climbing rose in America, if not the world... instrumental in the creation of early floribundas, which were known as hybrid polyantha.'Ellen Poulsen' and 'Johanna Tantau' are two examples.

Q: meaning of "curt" A post says

Gretchen McCulloch, an internet linguist and author of the upcoming
  book Because Internet, said OK is not inherently rude but the length
  of a reply matters.
"Anything that's shorter can sound curter, anything that's longer can
  sound more polite," McCulloch said. In other words, your "kay" may
  sound like a throwaway answer to the recipient.

Cambridge Dictionary gives this definition of "curt"

If someone's manner or speech is curt, it is rude as a result of being very quick

Does that means

Suppose one speaks 150 words per minute on average. People would consider someone who speaks 200 words per minute rude.

A: No! Cambridge's definition is unhelpful. It's more like an example than a definition.
Lexico defines curt as rudely brief. It is the brevity which is rude: not the speed. The word brusque has an almost identical meaning.
Someone speaking at high speed would more likely be deemed odd or eccentric than rude.
Btw, there's no such word as curter.

Amsterdam, 23 January 2019. Fastned, which is building a European network of fast charging stations, has won the appeal that it filed at the Dutch Council of State. Fastned appealed the decision of the Minister of Infrastructure and the Environment in which Fastned was refused a permit for a shop and toilets at two of its charging stations. With this ruling, the policy of the Minister that such facilities are never permitted at charging stations along the motorway has been overturned.
Michiel Langezaal: "This is very good news for electric drivers. They want to drink a cup of coffee and go to the toilet, just like people with a gasoline car."

US Senate Votes to Protect Same-Sex, Interracial Marriages at Federal Level
U.S. senators voted to protect same-sex and interracial marriages Tuesday, 61-36.
Twelve Republicans voted for the legislation, which will head to U.S. President Joe Biden's desk to be signed into law after final passage in the U.S. House.
"Our community really needs a win, we have been through a lot," said Kelley Robinson, the incoming president of Human Rights Campaign, which advocates on LGBTQ issues. "As a queer person who is married, I feel a sense of relief right now. I know my family is safe."
The legislation repeals the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act that defines marriage as between a man and a woman under federal law. It would also require states to recognize same-sex and interracial marriages performed in other states, although it does not prevent states from passing laws banning those marriages.
"This legislation unites Americans," Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin, one of the act's co-sponsors and the first openly gay woman elected to the U.S. Senate, said earlier when the bill passed a preliminary vote.
"With the Respect for Marriage Act, we can ease the fear that millions of same-sex and interracial couples have that their freedoms and their rights could be stripped away by passing this bill," Baldwin said. "We are guaranteeing same-sex and interracial couples, regardless of where they live, that their marriage is legal, and that they will continue to enjoy the rights and responsibilities that all other marriages are afforded."
Same-sex marriage legalized in 2015
The U.S. Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage at the federal level in its 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision. But the court's Dobbs v. Jackson decision in June overturning a right to abortion at the federal level raised concerns about federal protections for other rights.
In his concurring opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the court should reconsider other decisions based on the right to privacy, such as guarantees for the right to marry or the right to use birth control, arguing the U.S. Constitution does not guarantee those rights. Thomas' opinion led to widespread concern the court would next move to overturn the right to same-sex marriage. A bipartisan group of senators worked on the Respect for Marriage Act to address this possibility.
Republican Senator Mike Lee said on the Senate floor during debate that this legislation was unnecessary.
"A single line from a single concurring opinion does not make the case for legislation that seriously threatens religious liberty. The Respect for Marriage Act is unnecessary. States are not denying recognition of same-sex marriage. And there's no serious risk of anyone losing recognition," he said.
Legislation heads back to House
The legislation passed the U.S. House of Representatives earlier this year with support from 47 Republicans. It now heads back to the House so that members can vote on religious liberty protection amendments added in the Senate.
Liberty Counsel, a nonprofit organization advancing religious freedom, said in a statement that the Respect for Marriage Act was unconstitutional and does not provide "any protection for religious individuals or organizations, and the subsequent amendments to the bill exclude a large percentage of constitutionally and statutorily protected religious organizations."
But Republican Senator Susan Collins, another co-sponsor of the legislation, said on the Senate floor that concerns about religious liberty were a false argument.
"This legislation would make clear in federal law that nonprofit religious organizations and religious educational institutions cannot be compelled to participate in or support the solicitation or celebration of marriages that are contrary to their religious beliefs," she said.
In a May 2022 Gallup poll, 71% of Americans said they support same-sex marriage. Only 27% supported it when the poll was first taken in 1996.

Pruitt, Scarborough Spar Over Trump 'Hoax' Claim
(MSNBC's "Morning Joe")
By Sandy Fitzgerald | Tuesday, 06 June 2017 11:33 AM EDT
EPA Director Scott Pruitt and MSNBC "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough squared off against each other Tuesday morning over whether President Donald Trump still believes climate change is a "hoax" perpetrated by the Chinese following his decision to pull out of the Paris climate agreement.
"I think what's important, Joe, is that the president has said when you make decisions on environmental decisions internationally that we put America's interest first," Pruitt told Scarborough, while defending the president's decision.
"The president said the climate is changing."
However, Scarborough argued the provisions of the Paris accord were voluntary, and told Pruitt that "we're just trying to get an answer from you," as it's "important for Americans to know whether their president believes that global warming was hatched as a conspiracy theory in China. Doesn't that matter to you?"
"With respect to the voluntary contributions you're talking about, the 26 percent to 28 percent, when you look at domestically third party lawsuits, you've heard about the litigation where the EPA has sued and compels regulatory response," Pruitt replied. "The framers of the Paris accord understood that America would take regulatory steps to carry out that 26 to 28 percent reduction. When we're withdrawing energy independent order, that creates a gap of almost 60 percent. It created exposure with respect to obligations."
That was when Scarborough said the interview had to "stop in its tracks until I just get a yes-no answer from you on whether you believe it's important that Americans find out whether their president believes that climate change is a conspiracy theory based out of China."
Pruitt reiterated that Trump has said the climate is changing, and that during his own confirmation process, he also said the climate is warming and "there's a human contribution to it."
The "real question," said Pruitt, is what to do about the problem.
"What we've done as a country is lead through innovation and technology," said Pruitt. "As I indicated since the year 2000, a reduction of over 18% in that CO2 footprint through hydraulic fracturing, horizontal drilling. You don't hear that from the environmental left. We ought to be exporting that so other nations can get to natural gas."
Scarborough, though, told him that the position he explained was much different than Trump's tweet, posted back in 2012, about the issue being a hoax,
"The president has indicated the climate is changing," said Pruitt, "I think you're trying to get away from the merits and demerits of the Paris accord."
Further, said Pruitt, with what the United States has done as a nation to address its carbon dioxide footprint, "Paris has almost become symbolic" and is "mostly words."
Pruitt earlier in the interview commented that the decision had been made to pull out of the Paris accord because it put the United States at a "disadvantage economically," even though several steps had been taken to reduce the carbon dioxide footprint.
"We're at pre-1994 levels with our CO2 footprint," said Pruitt. "From 2000 to 2014, we reduced it by 18 percent. What Paris represented was a commitment to achieve things that were unachievable. The previous administration, with every step they took still fell 40% short of those 26 to 28 percent targets."
Meanwhile, he said the EPA and the government should not be in the business of "picking winners" between coal and solar energy, as "all jobs matter."
"The last seven months we've had a growing job market including coal," said Pruitt. "We see actually optimism in that sector...it is not a wise thing to limit the number of resources. It creates vulnerabilities. We need more diversity from coal, natural gas, oil, hydro, nuclear, across the board."

Wayne Cunningham from VIC - Swan Reach
Product Used: Outback Forage Oats
A late planted crop of Outback oats provided three grazings and a cut of silage on the dairy of Wayne Cunningham of Swan Reach, in the east Gippsland region of Victoria. Mr Cunningham, who milks around 150 cows at the organic dairy, trialled the oats in a 4 acre paddock to see how they would perform on the property. He said there was some initial rain in February but nothing of substance until June, so the oats were planted at a rate of 60 kilogram per hectare later in the month. "Ideally I would have planted it in February but the season was a bit spasmodic so I was a bit nervous. When the oats were eventually put in they established well in some very cool conditions and produced the first grazing early in the spring. Mr Cunningham said approximately 100 cows were allowed to strip graze the paddock and moved over the area in three to four days.
The paddock was then locked up and responded quickly before being grazed a further two times over the spring. Cows were introduced after calving with the final area of Outback oats being grazed by 130 cows late in the season. The oats were allowed to reach a height of approximately one foot before being grazed to produce a product of good quality. A total mixed ration system is operated on the dairy with grazing and silage options from a range of different crop types. Mr Cunningham said the oat paddock will be direct-drilled with sorghum for feed into summer. He said the silage from the oats would be utilised in the winter time by the dry cows and heifers. The success of the Outback oats this season has meant it will be utilised more in the coming years as a grazing and silage option. It can be planted from February through until June and provide valuable supplementary feed in conjunction with the total mixed ration on the farm.

I feel like this is quite an unpopular passage because it doesn't say anything that we'd like to hear! It speaks of duty, of long days, of work and not rest. But actually this is an important aspect of living as a Christian; it would be unrealistic not to consider all that this passage entails. And, its instruction to be servants, I think links in really well to what was in my previous post (here).
Let us not treat our individual experiences as absolutes, to be fixated upon, as the first man does. Rather, let us be using them only as the way through which we are getting to know God and love him more – modelling the second man.
As such, may we be eager to work as servants like in Luke 17. Privileged to be serving the King, to have such access. Let us dwell on the gifts to be found in our perspective and position and not on the illusory importance of our experience.
And finally, in a manner of speaking, may we serve in such a way that we reach the evening and delight in being a part of our master's household, however menial and tiring the work, rather than bemoaning the aching of our feet after a long day.


We're starting to discuss Problem-Based Learning a la Barrows (initially) in a special topics class I'm teaching this semester. One of the participants, Mark Mason has a great post on his reactions to some of the first readings, that I want to take a minute and respond to.
I think Mark has very astutely brought into question some of the theoretical underpinnings of PBL (which by the way are post-hoc as Barrows had no theory in mind, this was a technological approach in the purist sense of the term). I think the ties to Dewey and Freire work (although I've seen Dewey's name invoked for quite a range of things) in the sense that this is, essentially about an attempt to embed instruction in authentic practice (or as authentic as you can get safely and with a reasonable cost)--I'm not sure that Barrows is as interested in empowerment per se in the sense that Freire discusses it but I don't think Mark is making that claim either.
To be able to retrieve something from memory, information must be encoded from short- to long-term memory. If the problem is merely one of inappropriate learning objectives we could easily divide out the tasks into a stepwise process, create the learning objectives, and proceed. The following procedures might suffice: 1) Requires students to memorize neuralgic information; 2) provide sufficient testing to ensure facts are encoded in long-term memory; and 3) encourage students to review information until retrieval is necessary, such as clinical experience. . . . According to Barrows students memorized the information the freshman year and then were not expected to use it until their junior year. But isn't the problem with this approach the lack of additional timely experience requiring students to demonstrate their ability to understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, and create? So what would PBL add to this scenario that more solid instructional design would not?
Mark makes a great point here. It is perhaps a bit of a straw man to compare PBL to straight lecture, developed and delivered by faculty of all people--the majority of whom receive absolutely no training about how to teach much less engage in instructional design. I say this as an equal offender by the way, if I had a dollar for every behavioral objective I haven't written for my own classes or audience analysis I've skipped I think I could make my next house payment. Ok, maybe not a house payment but I could get an iPod. But I digress, so in a head-to-head between a principled instructional design approach lecture format class and PBL what is the difference? I would say ostensibly not a whole lot. An effort to supply opportunities to apply, analyze, evaluate, and create in relation to new knowledge might lead you to something fairly proxmiate to PBL (certainly in comparison to traditional lecture--whatever that means). I think the biggest points of divergence are 1) forcing students to take a leadership role in identifying their own learning issues (through meta-cognitive prompts) and then resolve them (by seeking out and evaluating information) with respect to a given problem, 2) a happy consequence of forcing leadership; increased propensity to engage in lifelong learning (if you go through medical school having everything handed to you, you wind up with the typical graduate school dilemma--now that I'm responsible for figuring out what it is that I want to learn, and how to go about doing it I'm not quite sure how to get started, 3) a practitioner focus, which deserves a more elaborate explanation.
In short, students in a PBL approach start to focus on the practice of being a doctor, some of the less tangible questions (costs, dealing with HMOs, etc . . . ) that are often the focus only after medical school is over. Now you can certainly apply Mark's argument here that this is something ISD would pick up as well--it's a content issue, you aren't giving the entire picture because you having gone through a principled input/output analysis, gap analysis, etc . . . I would say that's quite true, but that Seels and Richey would still put you on a path to learning about what it's like to be a doctor, and not necessarily about being a doctor.
Mark invoked cognition, which I think is important to address. I'll go back to some of the basic (and quite famous) research done by Hyde & Jenkins (1969) on enhancing rehearsal/recall. They had three comparison groups, one "intentional" group that memorized a list of words and attempted to recall as many as possible. If I remember correctly the time spacing for all three groups was such that it involved long-term memory. I'll equate that with a great deal of overgeneralization and partial hubris to "traditional lecture", the other two groups were not told they would be asked to recall the words at all (thus no conscious attempt was made on their part to encode them into long-term memory). One group was asked to identify the words that contained the letter "e", the other was asked to rate the "pleasantness" of the words. The unintentional "pleasantness" group did as well as the group that used rote rehearsal. I would (again with much in the way of overgeneralization) equate the pleasantness group to PBL in that students are making evaluative judgements about information and it's application and relevance to a given problem (as they seek out and encounter that information). In essence, PBL affords additional retrieval cues, when (as Mark describes it well) they are contextualized in patient cases. Looking back, I think Mark discussed this point a bit better than me (certainly more concisely).
I do question the claim about transfer, however. PBL affords highly contextualized knowledge. I'm not convinced that highly contextualized knowledge will transfer more easily to novel situations. Certainly, many PBL advocates claim this--but if you read between the lines they are typically talking about novel patient cases. When I think about transfer I'm thinking about a discipline switch--which I think you will get with your weak (broad) problem solving strategies, but I'm not convinced you'll get good transfer--or more to the point, better transfer of your knowledge over a more traditional lecture approach. To take this out of the abstract I've encountere Maslow's heirarchy of needs in the context of a parent-child relationships class in the field of Human Development, a management course in the context of Business, and motivation (learning theory) in the context of Instructional Design. All of them through traditional lecture--I'm not sure that learning Maslow's Heirarchy through PBL would help me transfer what I know to these different disciplines.
Anyway, that's my long-winded response. Thanks for the post Mark.

Era un membro della Tribù di Giuda. La sua identificazione rimane non chiara nella Torah ma è presente nei commenti rabbinici

Nella Bibbia sono citate anche altre persone che rispondono a questo nome.

Hur, compagno di Mosè
Nel Libro dell'Esodo, Hur viene menzionato per la prima volta come un compagno di Mosè e Aronne mentre osserva dall'alto la battaglia di Rephidim contro gli Amaleciti. Aiutò Aronne a tenere le mani di Mosè sollevate quando questi si rese conto che gli israeliti prevalevano in battaglia mentre le sue mani erano alzate: "Aronne e Hur sostennero le sue mani, uno da una parte e l'altro dall'altra".  Viene menzionato ancora una volta, come fedele alleato di Mosè, quando venne lasciato, assieme ad Aronne, a capo degli Israeliti quando quest'ultimo si recò sul monte Sinai. Mosè disse al popolo: "Aronne e Hur sono con voi, chiunque ha una contesa, si avvicini a loro". Tuttavia, solo l'Aronne è menzionato nel resoconto successivo degli eventi durante l'assenza di Mosè e la creazione del Vitello d'oro.

Hur è menzionato anche come nonno di Bezalel, designato da Dio ad essere il principale creatore del Tabernacolo e dell'Arca dell'Alleanza. Sebbene non sia del tutto certo che questo Hur sia lo stesso individuo, è stato trattato come tale nella tradizione ebraica.

Nei Libri delle Cronache Hur è o il figlio o il padre di Caleb. Il linguaggio è sufficientemente ambiguo per cui sono possibili diverse interpretazioni. La Bibbia di re Giacomo afferma: "Questi furono i figli di Caleb, figlio di Hur, il primogenito di Efrata, Shobal il padre di Kiriaath-Jearim..." La New International Version dice "Questi erano i figli di Caleb. I figli di Hur, il primogenito di Efrata, fu Shobal, padre di Kiriat-Jearim... " La seconda versione considera Hur come primogenito di Caleb con la sua seconda moglie Efrata.

Hur ebbe quattro figli, Uri il padre di Bezalel, e altri tre, Shobal, Salma e Hareph, che si dice siano stati i fondatori delle città di Kirjath-Jearim, Betlemme e Bethgader rispettivamente. Tuttavia, il I libro delle Cronache definisce Hur come padre di Betlemme.

There is a cure for fear of moths.
Some people think that you have to go back and find the cause of this fear. You don't. Being afraid of moths is a conditioned response. True, you 'learnt' it when you were younger, but what has happened is that your brain has made an automated 'pattern' of behaviour with regard to these creatures, and now what you get is a kind of mental knee-jerk response when you see a moth, or imagine one, or both.
People who are terrified of these insects tend to find them disgusting and repellent to look at. Moreover, it is the seemingly almost random movement of them, and that they seem to have no sense of direction that terrifies someone with this particular phobia. Usually there is a terror that a moth will fly into them, or perhaps that one will get tangled in their hair….
How Are You Going To Cure My Phobia Of Moths?
Well, we favour the proven direct reconditioning techniques and approaches found in the fields of hypnotherapy and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). We don't have to talk to you about where the fear comes from, we just work quickly and effectively to neutralise the conditioned response. Typically, as with most of these so-called 'simple' phobias, we find that it takes just one or two sessions to resolve.
Well firstly it is only one of the techniques that can be used to stop you being so scared of moths. It tends to be very reliable and that's why we use it. The method involves getting you to relax and disassociate from the fear. Then, whilst disassociated we use combinations of hypnosis and conditioning techniques to build new associations, or conditioned responses, to moths. In practice it involves us helping you to recall times when you felt wonderful and then mapping these feelings over to thoughts of what you were scared of. Don't worry, it won't actually make you like moths (unless you want to, and that would be very unusual), the fast phobia cure tends to simply neutralise the fear.
The fear or phobia of moths can be resolved by listening, over time, to this, our best-selling recording.
Get rid of your terror of moths by listening to Kathy's new recording. Like all recordings it is likely to take repeated listening to be fully effective.
