The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes... It's All Been Heard Before
While knowing very little about Netflix's most recent documentary on Marilyn Monroe, I was still very interested in seeing it. Like many, I find Miss Monroe to be ever-beautiful and somehow elusive. She remains a mystery in death, a tragic hero. While many people have been curious about how she lived, an ever growing number are interested in how she died. True crime series and documentaries are more popular than ever before. It's excavation, a digging up of the dirt quite literally and seeing what we've missed and what time and technological advances can add to the story of one's life.
The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes presents a collection of interviews never heard by the public before, 650 to be exact, that were conducted by journalist Anthony Summers in 1982, twenty years after Miss Monroe's passing. At the time, there was a police re-investigation into the cause of her death. Rumors had persisted through the years as to whether her demise was accidental, suicide or as the interviewer states "something more sinister."
The documentary clearly favors the sinister part. There's a bluesy noir feel to the film that emphasizes the "mystery" in its title. Scribbled headers introduce audio tapes of former agents, filmmakers, those who knew Marilyn and Marilyn herself. We learn some cynical yet factual truths of the movie business. Primarily how younger women like Marilyn had to sleep with male executives in order to get roles. An agent named Al Rosen cites 'black books' and sex as a type of currency for that time period while today it's 'the buck' that decides who gets casted. One may think of misogynist Harvey Weinstein and can draw a straight line from that early criminal activity to now.
All of the interviews are subtitled and the voices are lip-synced by actors that appear on screen, an odd choice that feels kind of silly to start with. But as the film progresses, you sort of get used to it. Stock footage, interviews and photographs make up most of the movie. We follow Marilyn's rise to fame, starting with her big break in the John Huston film Asphalt Jungle. And we get to hear Mr. Huston in his own words describe the 'truth' in Marilyn's acting, something 'deeply moving' about her. Actress Jane Russell, her co-star in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes describes her as bright and recounts how Marilyn would go straight to an acting coach after a day on set because "she wanted to learn." As the film progresses, it kind of loses track of this portrayal of Marilyn as poised and in control of her life. There is no denying the fact that she was a successful woman that quite cleverly used persona to win adoration from the public. She was smart and well aware of her sex appeal.
Unfortunately, from there a mix of friends and colleagues paint Marilyn as a tormented figure. The tone of The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes is one of sadness and gloom, emphasizing loss: Marilyn was 'deprived of childhood,' someone 'that could so easily be destroyed.' Like in many documentaries of Miss Monroe's life, as an audience we feel like we let her down somehow.

Brighton: William St home with private nightclub sells big
Samantha Landy
16 Aug 2021, 12:51pm
A Toorak-based developer has splashed $9.7m on a luxury Brighton house with a private underground nightclub.
Despite a lockdown-interrupted campaign that allowed for just two in-person inspections, the deal was done just a month after the three-storey pad at 91 William St hit the market.
And the sale price equated to more than $19,000 per square metre, which Belle Property St Kilda director Sam Inan said was well above the suburb average.
RELATED: Brighton dream home has underground nightclub, bar and lounge
Zagame family behind hospitality empire sells waterfront mansion for Brighton record
Compound with house converted to garage sets Brighton East record
91 William St, Brighton, sold for $9.7m.
The snazzy home offered a private underground nightclub.
The basement bar.
"It's absolutely ridiculous given that's the price of a penthouse anywhere in the upper end of Melbourne," Mr Inan said.
"And Brighton's usual land rate is about $6000 per sqm, while good houses are at $10,000 or $12,000.
"(The two latest lockdowns) made the sale very hard. But it's also like shaking up a Coke can – the intensity and demand increases with the lack of supply (on the market)."
Mr Inan said two fairly young businessmen – one a developer who had recently sold in Toorak and the other shifting from a tree-change environment to a sea-change one – competed for the keys after deciding "one viewing is better than none, even though it's at almost $10m".
The developer won out.
"Being in the building game himself, he knew the amount of work, quality and detail that had gone into the home, from conception to completion," Mr Inan said.
"It's a three to four-year process to do something like this, so there's a convenience factor of buying the lifestyle."
The vendors completed the five-bedroom mansion early last year and listed it with a $9.5m-$10.2m price guide in July.
The light-filled open-plan living, dining and kitchen space.
This lounge has direct access the resort-style yard.
Indoor and outdoor living collide.
When the property hit the market, Mr Inan said the owners had "created a destination, rather than a home" where occupants could "escape, work and play all in one place".
"That's never been more relevant than in the time and world we live in now," he said.
He added the house used "every millimetre of the land".
The basement "staycation" zone was a particularly attention-grabbing feature, featuring a private nightclub with a bar, a 35-seater couch, a disco floor, 1000-bottle, fingerprint-protected wine cellar, and a window looking into the pool above.
A spa, sunbathing deck and an alfresco terrace and a fireplace joined the pool in the resort-style yard.
And the main bedroom suite further added to the home's luxury hotel vibes, containing an indulgent ensuite with a curved, freestanding bathtub, and a dual rainfall shower, plus a drop-down TV estimated to have cost about $30,000.
A dreamy bedroom.
A curved tub stands out in the ensuite.
A basement four-car garage forms part of the house.
The large open-plan living and dining area featured a kitchen with top-notch appliances, a leather-finish marble island bench and a butler's pantry, plus retractable full-height doors that opened out to the yard.
Mr Inan said the vendors had a background in the building and design space, and worked with Port Melbourne architects Seidler Group and local design company Golden and to create the package.
Brighton's residential price record was set between $25m-$27.5m in June, when the Zagame family sold a beachfront mansion on a 1150sq m block at 27-29 Kent Ave.

I was following a conversation on Twitter about claims-based authorizations … the guys having the conversation brought up some pretty good points and I thought it would be great to have a copy of this conversation. Feel free to correct any mistakes I may have made in my notes. I'd like to eventually follow up with Nishant and get more information on his last tweet about the RP not needing to know the decision context. I generally agree with the statement but I am wondering about the use cases where the RP does want/need to know about the decision context. … maybe you guys @nishantK, @paulmadsen, or @indpendentid could add some examples of what a "decision context" would or coud look like.
@independentid you seem to be interpreting 'claims- based' more narrowly than I, ie that they necessarily imply capabilities/pre-use authz?
@NishantK @paulmadsen How does sender know what decisions will be needed? Discovery – securityconstaint? Can decider decide without context?
@paulmadsen Kind of like the "visa"s we use to have meetings in the US? The analogy that advance decisions are like passport visas.
Additional comments made: The conversation continued after I had left work … and then picked up briefly this morning. I wanted to add the additional comments so that the entire thread was captured.
I agree with Steve and would like to see a collection of use cases that focus on externalized authorization. @paulmadsen suggested that @ggebel was the go to source for such use cases. I know that he has been blogging about these here (http://analyzingidentity.com/).
RT @brad_tumy @benatnovell @nishantk agree they don't "need" to know most cases … is there a case where would need to know? < Audit?
Authenticate a resource based on custom token if it is null or not. There is no need to map the token with an user record.
What is the best way to implement it? Is it possible to do it with just OAM 11g alone? Or does it require Oracle STS too? Please provide your inputs.
Also would you be able to provide a sample custom token format? Thanks in advance for your help.
Can you provide some additional details about the custom token? Where is it coming from, what is it's format? Any additional information that you can provide would help me formulate an answer for you.

Is DEI Language Important?
CDFI News and Resources	CDFIs	0
Is it important for CDFIs to have value statements or mission statements that explicitly address diversity, equity, and inclusion? The answer is a resounding yes according to FUND Community Institute's recently released report, Advancing Equity: Diversity and Inclusion at CDFIs (available at www.fundci.org ).
As part of this research, FUND CI interviewed staff at CDFIs identified as having standout practices in their support of diversity, equity, and inclusion. One of the common practices among the CDFIs that participated is that they have organizational statements that directly address support for diversity, equity, and inclusion. These might be formal terminology or goals used in their mission statements, corporate value statements, diversity statements or similar. One of the themes is that language is important and signaling support is an important step in the process of fostering greater diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Olivia Rebanal of Capital Impact reflected that, "I think that mission statements and explicit language is key to this work."
Selected quotes:
"So, we have it as one of our organization values. And then in our mission statement we use the word equitable."
"We have created a diversity statement since I've been here. In that diversity statement, we really kind of define the culture that we want to have that respects individual differences, and we define what individual differences are in this diversity statement to be race, color, of course national origin, age, the protected classifications, and then to also expand that to marital status or sexual orientation or gender identity."
"And then our values, which are we envision an inclusive world in which all, which is underlined, all entrepreneurs and community have the opportunity to make their dreams come true. But I think that we certainly make it very clear who we believe to not have access to these products, and really how we approach that in our vision and mission."
"One of the things that we did to blend our cultures was all the employees went out to dinner and it was a small group. I think we had like 22 or 25 people at that time and we sat around drinking and joking and talking about the things that we believe in. If you read our strategic plan, it's actually in our new strategic plan for 2022, a statement of what we believe in."
"So equity, diversity and inclusion is actually listed as a strategic pillar."
As many CDFIs are beginning work to move towards more diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplaces, the findings from this report suggest that one important place to start is by formalizing the language around these values. Does your organization have these? Do you think they are important?

Chester and District Housing Trust
Help to keep our Crescent pleasant
ANGRY residents who say their street in Blacon is being used as a dumping ground are calling for action.
Cheshire Live
Wordsworth Crescent householders want Chester and District Housing Trust and Chester City Council to clean up adjoining alleyways and parklands.
And they were delighted when this week, following a phone call from The Chronicle, trust workers came out to start the clear-up.
Mother-of-two Sarah Caldwell said: 'People dump fridges, washing machines and old TVs. Not only is it unsightly and messy, it's a health and safety issue.
'There is still a long way to go, but it's great that the work has already begun. Our children will now be able to play out in safety.'
Mrs Caldwell, who is married to Thomas, says that people regularly fly-tip in the alleyways surrounding the Crescent.
But the locked gates at the ends of the alleys, installed by the housing trust to prevent burglaries, meant that nobody could get in to clear up.
On Monday, the trust cleared out the alleyway behind her house and since then her children Joe, two, and Bethany, four, have been able to play in it.
'It has been great. There has been a slight problem when the refuse collectors came and spilled a lot of rubbish making a horrible mess. I had to clean it up myself.
'I would have cleared the alleyway out myself before, just to give the kids more room to play, but whenever I asked for the keys to the gates, nobody would give them to me,' said Mrs Caldwell.
'I hope that the same is done to the parkland at the front of the Crescent.
At the moment, it is full of waste, but it could be used for something useful - like car parking spaces.'
David Rooke, director of operations at Chester & District Housing Trust, said: 'The trust is currently in negotiations with Cheshire County Council about who is actually responsible for the alleyway behind Wordsworth Crescent.
'However, in the meantime, the trust has arranged for someone to assess the rubbish problem in the alleyway and will arrange for it to be cleared as soon as possible.'
A spokesman for Chester City Council said: 'People who cannot be bothered to go out to the tip have caused these problems.
'Also, the gates at the end of the alleyways, which were installed by the trust to solve different issues, mean that we cannot always get to the rubbish.
'We will work on synchronising the times that the gates are opened and the rubbish is collected. As for the parklands, they are regularly checked and cleared when problems are noted.
'If residents see any waste tipped on the parklands they should notify the council. If people phone us and notify us, we will go out to clear it up - often within 24 hours.'

THE KING OF TIR, A MURDERING QUEEN & A GYPSY CURSE…
THE PRIORY INVESTIGATES: QUEST NUMBER EIGHT
ST MARY'S CHURCH SNETTISHAM
CASTLE RISING KINGS LYNN
GYSPSY CORNER MOULTEN
ST MARY'S CHURCH SNETTISHAM: One cannot help but wonder what these three seemingly separate sites have in common with each other; yet there is a connection, a thread running through which connects to our quests so far. So here we were in Norfolk once again, starting out on Quest Number Eight, at the stunningly beautiful Templar church; known as St Mary's Church, Snettisham. This church which in reality is more like a catherdral is mentioned in the Domesday Book compiled in 1066; but most of the 'present' day church dates to the period of 1300 – 1340, although there would have been a church on this site which dates back to a much earlier time in history. The spire; one of only five in Norfolk, is second only to that of Norwich Cathedral in height and is, along with the rest of the church, testiment to a much wealthier time in the history of Snettisham, when the wool trade and textile industry kept the hands of the village weavers far from idle!
Snettisham itself is a very pretty little village situated near the west coast of Norfolk, just five miles south of Hunstanton. It has a beautiful unspoiled beach where many semi-precious gemstones can be found and an abundance of wildlife. Snettisham has a complex entry in the Domesday Book, where it is divided in ownership between Wiilliam de Warenne and the Bishop of Bayeux. It is also know for the Snettisham Horde; a series of discoveries of Iron Age precious metals.
To read more see here:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snettisham
But we were here to visit St Mary's Church with it's strong Templar influences that go beyond even that; connections that go deep into our unrecorded British history. We had tried to gain access to the church on a previous occasion but due to safety aspects of roof repair work being carried out, St Mary's church was locked to us on that occasion. However we did make an introductory video to mark the occasion of our first vist. Strangely while we were lingering on the church porch inquiring over the phone, about access, another couple arrived whom informed us, had driven all the way from London to visit, and who also eagerly listened to our phone conversation. This was a strange yet not unusual happening for us as 'co-incidences' do tend to follow us around – see why in the video 🙂
Follow the link below to our Youtube channel and let our lead researcher give you an introduction and glimpse into this very special church's history:
SNETTISHAM: THE KING OF TIR & A TEMPLAR CHURCH
The architecture, decorations and fittings of the church are truely amazing and do hark back to times that simply do not relate to christianity at all, but hint to many other ancient paths as you will see in this next video. The true Celtic cross with the Fleur de Lys, that connects to the King of Tir is evident for all to see in the main part of the church; a huge chandelier Merkaba (star of David) decorated with more Fleur de Lys hangs prominently in the vestry, as does a family crest relating to the 'Neviile' family; one of the bloodlines we are tracing. Yet most stunningly of all is the stained glass window, to the right of the vestry and along one side of the church which is under repair, is the very rare image of the King of Tir (the original Green Man) So once again we can see very many Knight Templar and Masonic symbolism here and even beyond that. Within the vestry itself i for one can attest to the fact that the magnetic energy is so powerful there, it almost knocks one off one's feet; i was not alone in feeling this amazing power.
Photos above which show beautifully all the amazing symology and imagery in this stunning Templar church… <click to enlarge imags>
CASTLE RISING: After a brief but enjoyable visit to Snettisham beach, our next port of call was to be Castle Rising; the home of many tales, many families and royal intrigue. This castle is one of the most important twelth century castles in England. The stone keep has particularly fine arcading and embellishments on the fore building and was built around 1140 by William D'Albini to show his increased importance on his marriage to Alice of Louvian, widow of Henry 1st. The most infamous piece of history here stems from when the castle was the home (prison?) to Queen Isabella, the mother of Edward 3rd, who had a hand in the murder of her husband Edward 2nd. The records show that she was visited at the castle several times by her son Edward 3rd. Some say she went mad, some say she was in exile there, some say she is still there… Listen to what our lead researcher has to say in the next video on Castle Rising's history and it's tales of mystery…
Click through to our Youtube channel…
CASTLE RISING: A MURDERING QUEEN…
The keep of Castle Rising presents a dramatic and formidable sight, set against the vast East Anglian skies.
A GYPSY BOY'S GRAVE: Most folks local to the village of Moulton near Newmarket in Suffolk, know of 'Gypsy Corner' and can tell the sad tale of the young gypsy lad who is burried there; some may know of the gypsy curse attached to the grave site while others may not. But the mystery surounding the small burial site doe not end there and goes way deeper.
Our head researcher will explain when you follow the link to our Youtube channel.
GYPSY CORNER NR NEWMARKET
Apologies for the many 'cuts, stops & starts' in the video due to a very busy road & noisy traffic!
Conclusions of Quest Eight:
St Mary's Church, Snettisham
Leading on from the previous visit; amazing to actually get inside courtessy of Peter Murray. He is an interesting chap in himself, having much hidden knowledge contained. After a conversation about burial or cremation, Peter assured that 'we will make sure that this happens for you'. He was certainly more than just an organist.
The Vestry holds the key of the Hamilton surname linked with the Neville surname, with more important aspects of Judaism embedded within this timeless building. The lighting in the vestry is made from wood and the Hexagram 'Star of David', with trails around the hexagram of the Fleurs de Lys, gives tales of Judaism enshrined with Templarism. So the world at large would believe that it is the English Christian faith which guided the Templars. Clearly not correct, it was Judaism that over-stood all other beliefs and faiths.
The Celtic connection is contained within this church, spanning over 1,000 years tales to be deciphered, if only some were able to decipher such encryption.
Castle Rising
Evidence of Ghostly presence contained within the acoustic room within the castle itself. There is most definitely a regional hub of energy transmitting and being received at this point. Hardly surprising with Pyramid energy gathering at all crossings through this vibrant land of Castle Rising.
Particular attention must be given to the Norman Chapel which contains a sealed entrance to the underground tunnels that will reveal more to those whom seek to find.
It is of no surprise that our visit was enlightened with the presence of a protector, a Guardian of Secrets that brisked through and around us within the acoustic chamber.
The Gypsy Boy's Grave
Of course most know the tale of the young man whom fell asleep and lost one of his sheep, no more than myth, where one is able to clearly identify the myth with that of 'The Lamb of God'. The boy's real name is Elias F born in 1828 and subsequently passed in 1841, some 13 years old. But was this boy a Gypsy and was he really guiding sheep? We must look to the meaning behind the name 'Elias' as this is where the Quest and the Clues originate. 'Elias' means 'The Lord is my God'. It does not make reference to a God, it clearly refers to a Lord. So whom is the Lord? The Lord is connected to Snettisham Church and to that of Castle Rising. What we are permitted to reveal is that this boy has a direct connection to a Hertfordshire Banker in 1833.

"New Characters" in Pioneer Girl
Posted on August 13, 2014 by SDHSPress
There is nothing quite like seeing a photograph of someone you have read about. Melding the writer's words with the physical image can give a rush of recognition or, in some cases, wonder. In our research with Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography, we have worked to find images of the people, places, and events that fill Wilder's manuscript. Because Wilder wrote about an era when not many people had a camera, the task was, at times, difficult. However, we also had our share of serendipitous moments.
The adorable Masters children and their dog (name unknown). Standing (left to right) Alex and Arthur Masters; sitting (left to right) Vere, Nita, and Claude Masters. From the photo collection of Lucille (Masters) Mone. Used with permission.
One such incident came when, through this website, we were able to contact a descendant of Samuel Masters and his son and daughter-in-law George and Maggie Masters. Although Wilder did not put George and Maggie in her book The Long Winter, in her autobiography, the presence of these two boarders and their infant son intensified the Ingallses' hardships during the winter of 1880–1881. As Wilder documents in Pioneer Girl, Arthur Kingsbury Masters was actually born in the upstairs room of the Ingallses' home in De Smet during the Masters family's stay.
While Wilder's portrayal of the family is not flattering, the extreme winter tested everyone's endurance and may help to explain her unpleasant memories. Imagine how thin Pa must have been in real life with nine people to feed, compared to the six in the novel. As the photograph shows, George and Maggie Masters would go on to have more children, and George and Charles Ingalls would remain friends, for Masters served as a witness for Ingalls's 1886 homestead-patent application. And I can certainly say that it was a pleasure to work with the modern-day Masters family.

They can be quite revealing, can't they? We have some wonderful images from my paternal grandmother. Luckily, when I was still very young, but a few years before my grandmother died, my mom sat down with her to determine who each person was and wrote their names and relationships on the backs. I'm so glad she thought to do that while my grandmother was still with us!

I loved giving credit for the Masters photos to my Aunt Lucille and I am glad she gave them to me before the F-4 tornado hit her home and the town of Spencer, SD on May 30, 1998; otherwise, the photos may have been lost forever.

Actually, Arthur Kingsbury Masters was not born during the Long Winter at all, He was born the previous spring on May 23, 1880, so how could he have been born at the Ingalls store in town? What was the real story behind the Masters family staying with the Ingalls family the following winter?
sdshspress on April 19, 2016 at 6:44 am said:
Arthur Masters was born in April (according to census records) or May 1880 (according to a newspaper account) while his mother, Maggie Masters, was staying with the Ingalls family in one of the two buildings that Charles Ingalls built in De Smet that spring. Wilder remembered that the Ingallses left the Surveyors' House on April 3, 1880, and lived in town before moving out to their homestead later that year.
Wilder's sense of time in Pioneer Girl is not always precise. She has condensed the story of the Masters family and put all of it into the timeframe of the Hard Winter of 1880–1881, but it would actually have begun earlier. In the spring of 1880, George Masters worked on the railroad in the Volga area and moved west to Blunt as construction moved toward the Missouri River that summer and fall. Maggie would also have come from the east in the spring to board with the Ingallses in De Smet in order "to be nearer him" (Wilder, Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Edition, p. 203). The baby may actually have been born after a spring blizzard, which may be why Wilder placed the event at the onset of winter. In any case, George Masters would have returned to De Smet and the Ingalls home in the fall once work on the railroad had finished for the winter. His son would have been about five months old as the Hard Winter began.

Sanchez represented Nevada at Miss USA 2014 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana where she was crowned as the winner by outgoing titleholder Erin Brady of Connecticut on June 8, 2014. During the final question portion she was asked by judge Rumer Willis about the high rate of sexual assault among undergraduate women to which she responded that it is important to be able to defend yourself. She was the first Miss Nevada USA contestant to win Miss USA and the fourth Hispanic to win Miss USA after Laura Harring in 1985,Lynnette Cole in 2000, and Susie Castillo in 2003 Ironically, for the Henderson, Nevada resident, this was the first time since Miss USA 2007 that the contest had not been held in Nevada.
After winning Miss USA, a carpetbagger controversy arose regarding her claimed Nevada residence. After failing to win Miss California USA in 2010, 2011 and 2012, Sanchez reportedly created a paper trail to establish eligibility to compete in Miss Nevada USA. Supposedly Sanchez worked at Disneyland until November 2013 and earned Miss Nevada USA in January 2014. Additionally, she is represented by AC Talent Agency, which has Las Vegas and Los Angeles offices, but is listed as based out of Los Angeles. Rules state that Miss Nevada USA eligibility requires 6 months residency based on two documents from the following list: "voter ID or registration card, tax return, school records, employment documents, telephone bill, utility bill, bank statement, credit card statement or lease/deed." Supposedly, Sanchez spoke with Miss Nevada USA pageant director Shanna Moakler to determine the minimum eligibility requirements. However, Sanchez has stated that she owns a home in Las Vegas and listed herself as based in Los Angeles as a marketing ploy due to the types of opportunities available in Los Angeles relative to those available in Las Vegas.
Sanchez will represent the USA at Miss Universe 2014 where she will compete to succeed Gabriela Isler of Venezuela.


If there's one thing this 2019 NFL draft isn't lacking, it's defense. The top two defensive players in this draft being edge players, this linebacker group isn't too far behind.
Another long day for teams. We saw linebackers, defensive ends, edge rushers, and defensive linemen.
Denver Broncos only met with one player, a safety from Colorado. I may have missed that yesterday. Denver met with LB Keith Kelsey, Louisiana Tech and DL Jaleel Johnson, Iowa. Hopefully this changes since John Elway said he wanted to keep the defense a focus. That means pumping in new blood.
Once again, I've included charts from Chase Kuntzsch, whom I owe big time. If you look, you'll see more and more players not running or lifting or other events. The reasons vary from a player being sick or recovering from an injury, to wanting their Pro Day to be all scouts see.

Doodseskader – Year One LP
Milky Clear / Magenta Half Half - €24.90
Isolation Records 2022
The death squad marches on: Two years after entering the battlefield with their debut "MMXX: Year Zero", Belgium's Doodseskader are gearing up for their next fight with the release of their new album "Year One".
What are they confronting? Their surroundings. Their own devils. Sometimes life itself. But while "Year Zero" showed singer/bassist Tim De Gieter (Amenra, Every Stranger Looks Like You,…) and singer/drummer Sigfried Burroughs (Kapitan Korsakov, The K., …) struggling amid the turmoil, "Year One" is a victorious testament of tackling life's obstacles head first. "As 'Year Zero' mainly talked about our past and has a rather sad tone to it, 'Year One' is the voice of the people we are at this very moment", the duo comments. "We've stood up, found solutions and tried to head toward a new way of living. It's about growing up, fighting your demons and giving them a place to rest. Now that all of that is said, we can move on."
Though still a relatively young band, "Year One" opens a new artistic chapter for Doodseskader – surely just one of many to come. As the 2022 standalone singles "GABOS / Nonstop" and "Still Haven't Killed Myself" have already proven, these guys are not ones for standing still. They are a hip-hop act in one moment and a grunge band in the following, just to transform into a full-blown sludge or hardcore steamroller next. Sometimes they are all and sometimes none of the above – there's no way to pin them down. "Being able to draw from different musical genres makes us who we are", the duo states. "There's no specific genre we're looking at. Great songs are great songs. It's craftsmanship."
Further expanding their unique sonic palette, Doodseskader did not only look back to the great bands of the past for inspiration but also made a conscious effort to discover fresh artists from all corners of the musical realm, sharing an open mindset with genre-defying and -defining trailblazers like Show Me The Body, Ghostemane and Ho99o9. While they kept their trademark reverb-drenched bass sound, they incorporated more production details, many of them found in techno – adding even more depth and dynamic to their crushing mix.
Written in late 2020 and once again recorded by Tim De Gieter in Much Luv Studio (Amenra, Brutus, Absent In Body), "Year One" is as much a declaration of war as it is a declaration of independence: Doodseskader are here to cut their own path – and you better not stand in their way.

Q: Search by empty list for many-to-many relation using ransack I searched about how to pass empty array to ransack, for example:
@search = PromotionsRetailer.search(retailer_id_in: [])

This sql statement:
"SELECT `promotions_retailers`.* FROM `promotions_retailers` "

I found this link, to add -1 to empty array, so i used search(retailer_id_in: ([] + [-1])).

*

*Any solution is better than this solution?

*How to search using retailer_id in promotion table, if i have many-to-many relation between promotions/retailers without using breaking table PromotionsRetailer by ransack gem?

A: First part of question is vital. This should be a separate question.
Unfortunately, there in no more elegant way to cope with it, than:
search(retailer_id_in: ([] + [-1]))

The problem lays somewhere in the gem. And if you pass empty array, or array filled with nil values as a parameter, there will be join in SQL, but all the conditions will be ignored, e.g.:
Ruby:
Article.ransack({authors_id_in: [nil, nil, nil]}).result

SQL:
SELECT "articles".* FROM "articles" LEFT OUTER JOIN "articles_authors" ON "articles_authors"."article_id" = "articles"."id" LEFT OUTER JOIN "authors" ON "authors"."id" = "articles_authors"."author_id"

Your second part of question is about searching through HABTM relations using ransack, which is explained in Rails 3.1 Ransack HABTM pretty good.
Therefore:
Promotion.ransack({retailer_id_in: [1,2,3]}).result

You should not use PromotionsRetailer class itself.

Worcester eyes 14th potential pot shopp
Bill Shaner
wshaner@worcestermag.com
Worcester has started negotiating with what could be its 14th pot shop, per a release today.
The city will begin negotiating a community host agreement with Nature's Remedy, at 140 Southbridge St.
Per the city's regulations, it has to allow for 15 pot shops. Each require a community host agreement from the city, which details additional payments to the city and local oversight.
The 14 potential retail stores and five approved manufacturing businesses are estimated to create 275 jobs in the city.
But for prospective businesses, city approval is only one piece of the puzzle. They must also secure approval from the Cannabis Control Commission – a long, slow process that has only led to 10 retail stores opening in the three years since the recreational cannabis law was passed.
In Worcester, the first store to open will likely be Good Chemistry, which opened for medical sale last year. The Harrison Street business has final approval from the city and state, and is expected to open some time this month.
The 14 potential shops were whittled down from a field of 47 through an application process ongoing since last summer. The city is not accepting any more applications for retail businesses.

At Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti's daily coronavirus briefing Tuesday, L.A. City Fire Chief Ralph Terrazas provided an update on his department's COVID-related efforts. He also offered praise for Sean Penn's efforts to provide testing throughout the city.
"We've focused in four primary areas," said the chief, the first of which is standing up coronavirus testing sites throughout the city. Terrazas said these sites were initially staffed by fire department personnel.
"But with the arrival of the CORE organization, led by actor Sean Penn, we've been able to transition to a volunteer model."
Penn, in an interview with Deadline's Mike Fleming last month, explained the strategy behind his efforts with CORE partner Ann Lee.
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey Donates $10M For COVID-19 Testing To Sean Penn's Disaster Relief Group CORE
"It seemed very sensible for us to relieve highly skilled first responders, in our case the Los Angeles Fire Department, from having to man these sites," said Penn. "We were able to take their training at the directing of Mayor Garcetti, and be able to pass the training on to our staff and volunteers. Which meant that each site we picked up, 20-25 firefighters were able to get back to their emergency response duties in the city of Los Angeles."
Terrazas had nothing but praise for the operation today. "I must say that the volunteers from CORE have been doing an excellent job," he said.
"We now have eight sites throughout the city" offering drive-up testing, the chief said.
Garcetti, for his part, announced that, with CORE's assistance, the city has delivered nearly 400,000 COVID tests — 392,000, to be exact.
As a reminder, anybody can get tested. There are more than 30 locations across the city and county, and we have the capacity to test over 21,000 people per day. By tonight, we will have tested approximately 392,000 since this crisis began.

— MayorOfLA (@MayorOfLA) May 20, 2020
Increased testing, the mayor said, will allow the city to continue to reopen – if, that is, Angelenos also continue to wear masks and observe social distancing guidelines.
In keeping with that, Garcetti announced that pet grooming businesses can reopen. Retail pet locations must "adopt the county's guidelines," he said. Ditto all carwashes, both automatic and hand-wash.
Effective immediately, all pet grooming and training retail businesses and mobile services are allowed to operate. Customers will be able to drop off and pick up their pets outside the store, or home if a mobile service. County protocols must be followed.
We are also allowing all car washes to resume operations, and they must adopt the County's retail protocols. We had previously allowed only automated and self-service washes.

Open and Obvious Defense in Florida Premises Liability Injury Lawsuits
A Florida personal injury that occurs on someone else's property can in some circumstances be compensated under the legal theory of premises liability. These theory opines that property owners owe varying degrees of duty to protect lawful visitors (and sometimes even lawful visitors) from unreasonable risk of harm. This could be a slip-and-fall, a dog bite, faulty stairs or negligent security resulting in vulnerability to a third-party criminal attack. One of the most common defenses in Florida premises liability lawsuits is the "open and obvious" doctrine.
Essentially, as noted in the Florida Supreme Court's 1952 decision in Early v. Morrison Cafeteria Co. of Orlando, a business property owner has a legal right to assume those invited to the site will perceive potentially dangerous conditions that are open and obvious to the ordinary senses. One has a duty to avoid these open and obvious dangers, and a business has no responsibility to warn patrons of these dangers. It's the concealed dangers – those the business knows or should know about – that require warning. In any case, business property owners do have a responsibility to use "ordinary care" in keeping the site reasonably safe.
One premises liability case recently weighed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit considered whether a teetering tower of rolled insulation at a hardware store customer loading area was an open and obvious hazard, or whether the business owed a legal duty to address or warn of the potential danger.
Unsafe stacking in commercial retail locations – particularly those with warehouse models that store large, heavy items – can lead to serious injuries. It's imperative for anyone injured to discuss their legal options with a dedicated personal injury attorney in Orlando as soon as possible after the incident.
In this particular case, plaintiff (a regular customer) and his adult son visited a home improvement store in Illinois to buy rolled insulation. After buying nearly two dozen rolls inside the store, plaintiff drove his van to the warehouse yard for loading. This was a self-service loading area, though a sign at the entrance indicated customers should call for assistance if needed. No store employees were present when plaintiff and his son exited to load the vertical stacks of rolled insulation (each about 16 feet high). As soon as they started loading, plaintiff remarked to his son about one of the stacks that appeared to be leaning and unstable. He would later say in deposition that it was "pretty obvious" the stack was potentially off-balance, and he urged his son to "keep an eye on it." The two did not seek employee assistance. Plaintiff though it would be safe so long as neither touched the leaning stack, and says the pair proceeded with caution.
Plaintiff and son say they never touched the stack, but as they were finishing loading, with plaintiff standing about eight feet away, the stack fell on plaintiff, striking him and knocking him to the ground, ultimately resulting in a shoulder injury.
In the subsequent premises liability lawsuit for damages (with plaintiff seeking compensation for medical bills and lost wages), trial court ruled the store owed no legal duty to plaintiff (a key element in any negligence case) because the insulation stack that fell constituted an "open and obvious condition." Summary judgment was granted in favor of defense.
On appeal, plaintiff argued the previous ruling was improper because he and his son had different interpretations of the potential risk of the stack. However, the appellate court noted both testified in depositions that the lean of the stack was "obvious." Justices ruled although the two used differing terms to describe the stacks (one calling it "uneven" and another calling it "unstable"), this was a matter of semantics. The bigger issue was that both observed the condition to be "obvious."
Justices then considered whether a reasonable person in that situation would recognize the apparent risk. They ruled a reasonable person with plaintiff's knowledge would have appreciated the open and obvious danger. Thus, the trial court's ruling in favor of the defense was upheld.
Although this is a disappointing outcome for the plaintiff, it's nonetheless important to review what went wrong so future claimants have a better understanding of the legal challenges they may need to overcome to win their injury lawsuit.

Gaido vs Wagner in Irvine's Mayor Race
Posted by ICNV Staff | August 1, 2016
There are two very different candidates and campaigns for Mayor.
Can Planning Commissioner Mary Ann Gaido's grassroots, pro-resident, growth-control message overcome State Assemblyman Donald Wagner's developer-funded, pro-development campaign?
When she launched her 2014 campaign for Mayor — to unseat incumbent Mayor Steven Choi — two-time former Councilwoman Mary Ann Gaido (pronounced Guy-doe) minced no words in her official candidate statement. She declared, "This election will decide who controls the future of our City — profit-driven developers or Irvine residents."
Taking her growth-control, "slow growth" campaign to every corner of the City, Gaido's 2014 underdog campaign came within 954 votes of defeating incumbent Mayor Steven Choi — Choi's narrow victory came only after Irvine mega-developer FivePoint Communities came to his rescue in the closing days of the campaign with hundreds of thousands of dollars in anti-Gaido mailers — "hit pieces" — that were part of a so-called "independent expenditure" campaign.
Now, Mary Ann Gaido is running for Mayor again. She is promising, if elected, to "put the people back in control" by instituting strong growth control and traffic control measures. But this time she faces a different opponent. With Choi apparently headed to the State Assembly, the Mayor's seat is open. Officials and political operatives at FivePoint Communities, fearful of Gaido's tough stand against overdevelopment, is involved once again in the Irvine Mayor's race. This time, FivePoint has recruited termed-out Assemblyman Don Wagner to run for Mayor. In effect, Choi and Wagner, both conservative Republicans, want to switch seats — with Choi going to Sacramento and Wagner seeking the Mayor's chair in the November 8th election.
Growth, Traffic, and the Veterans Cemetery
In announcing his candidacy early this summer, Wagner said he wanted to be Mayor to "guide the future growth of Irvine in a reasonable and balanced way." Wagner's vague reference to "guiding" future growth is in sharp contrast to Gaido's specific commitment to "control" growth — and the citywide traffic congestion it generates.
Gaido recently declared, "If I am elected Mayor, I pledge that at the first City Council meeting, I will introduce a Comprehensive Growth and Traffic Control Ordinance." Gaido explained, "We need to take a 'time-out' from overdevelopment by strictly limiting the number of residential building permits issued by the City, and by requiring a vote of the people before any major new residential project with traffic-inducing effects can move forward."
Gaido, an expert in land-use and planning matters, added: "Under State law, we have ample legal authority to put strong growth control and traffic control policies in place. What's needed is a Mayor with the political will — the backbone — to stand up to big developers and do what's right for the residents of Irvine."
While Wagner has offered no specifics on dealing with residential growth, development — and the traffic it brings — last spring he stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Emile Haddad, President and CEO of FivePoint Communities, in proposing that the City "swap" 125 acres of land already approved and set aside for a Veterans Cemetery in the Great Park. The proposed "swap" of City-owned land — which was put forward by Councilmember Christina Shea and FivePoint — would apparently be the first step in allowing the developer to then have the Council re-zone the 125-acre parcel for thousands of additional houses and apartments at the Great Park.
The Council has already approved 10,000 housing units at the Great Park, despite Gaido's opposition on the Planning Commission.
While the City Council, in April, rejected the FivePoint- Wagner-Shea Veterans Cemetery "land-swap," the City's commitment to actually build the Veterans Memorial Park and Cemetery in the Great Park — a commitment Gaido calls "sacred" -— is likely to be another major issue in the Mayoral contest.
Don Wagner comes to the Irvine Mayor's race with financial advantages. In his various State legislative races, beginning in 2010, he has taken in $1.6 million in campaign contributions. His contributions — largely from developers, lobbyists, and special interests — have averaged about $1,000 each. Meanwhile, developer FivePoint Communities is expected to bankroll Wagner's run for Mayor with hundreds of thousands of dollars in unlimited SuperPAC contributions and so-called "independent expenditures," just as they did to keep Choi in the Mayor's chair in the 2014 election.
Gaido, in contrast, says she has no interest in developer money, and will rely instead on a broad base of small donors — with donations averaging about $50. Gaido's "grassroots" campaign expects to raise about $100,000. She says she has raised $52,000 so far. "We can't match Wagner and FivePoint dollar-for-dollar. We can't even come close. But, if we can meet our $100,000 goal, and continue to energize scores of neighborhood volunteers, I'm confident we can win."
In addition to Gaido and Wagner, two other individuals — Gang Chen and Katherine Daigle — have officially declared their candidacies for Mayor of Irvine. Irvine Community News & Views will be covering their candidacies in September and October, as the Mayoral race further develops.
