A Brief Introduction To D.C.'s Garage-Rock Scene
By Ron Knox
Teen Liver, shown here in 2012 at CD Cellar Arlington, is one of the bands in D.C.'s growing garage-ish scene. Ally Schweitzer
For years, a kind of garage-rock revival has taken place in D.C.'s rock scene, but it's gone on somewhat under the radar, beyond the effervescent fuzz of art-rock mainstays and the screechy feedback of post-hardcore thrashers. Now, as Washington City Paper has noted, the stripped-bare rock 'n' roll born in the 1960s and raised alongside rockabilly and punk in the '70s and '80s has become the beating heart of underground music in the city.
So what's the most essential listening? I cobbled together what I consider a few of the scene's highlights, from garage purists to unabashed punk rockers.
Mine is a very incomplete list, of course. Numerous other great bands pepper the local scene with all kinds of variations on garage-hued punk: Thee Lolitas, Foul Swoops, The Shirks, The Sniffs, Sunwolf, and surely others. Do you have a favorite local garage-ish band? Drop us a line in the comments.
Teen Liver
House-show veterans Teen Liver play a brand of rock 'n' roll that's more than the sum of its parts—or maybe, more appropriately, less. The band's cassette-only full-length plays like a surf-rock soundtrack of a CBGB-era punk documentary narrated by Lux Interior. The result is the most purebred garage punk in the city—which, like good writing, looks easier than it really is. Teen Liver plays Comet Ping Pong April 23.

Nice Breeze
Nice Breeze's rollicking version of surf punk is so infallibly simple and lo-fi, it sounds like it could have been plucked out of a '60s beach flick and dropped into Soundcloud. Never mind that the lyrics to "Transparency" are about pseudo science; on that track, Nice Breeze's sound is all saltwater and sunshine. Nice Breeze plays Galaxy Hut March 30.
The Tender Thrill
If you like your garage rock pure, clean and crooning, The Tender Thrill should be in your earbuds. At times, the band can make The Standells and The Sonics sound like fist-in-the-air punks. But at its best—like on "One and Only One" from its self-titled 2012 LP—the band shows up with enough blues and barroom jangle to get the jackets off and the whiskey pouring.

Passing Phases
Without getting into the credentials of pop punk—possibly the most misapplied genre in all rock music—Passing Phases is as pop punk as the D.C. garage-revival scene gets. On its "Endless Autumn" LP, the band laces its sneering vocals and frank lyrics with pop hooks and a near-constant midtempo punk beat that pumps life through the whole record. It's a beautiful thing. Passing Phases sounds both old and new, in better quantities and ratios than many of their garage-rock contemporaries. It may be the best the city has to offer. Passing Phases plays Comet Ping Pong April 11.

The Doozies
I don't hear a lot of burger in The Doozies' "cheeseburger rock," but I do hear a lot of Bay Area: The Doozies, brothers in fuzzy garage-pop, sound like they should be jamming with The Mantles and Thee Oh Sees. On last year's "Cooked Out," they also dropped one of my favorite local rock songs, the hummable "A Doctor," which you probably would need if you crushed as many cheeseburgers as these dudes probably do. (Ally Schweitzer)

Highway Cross
If there's a Venn diagram of garage-punk, Highway Cross falls in the punk circle. But I look at D.C.'s scene as a big tent, and even Northern Virginia punk rockers are welcome. On Highway Cross' two 7-inches, the latest released last April, their tracks walk a line between straight-up punk rock and the kind of early '80s garage punk that opened the door to a new era of weird punk offshoots, including revivalist rockabilly. "Suspicion Police," from 2011, is Exhibit A here—it's a hard-charging, punk swinger with hints of of X-Ray Spex and The Buzzcocks. Highway Cross plays Smash! March 27 and Black Cat April 26.
Locked In 7" by Highway Cross
Crumms
At some point, I'd like someone to explain to me the kinship between underground garage rock and the campy, B-horror movie aesthetic that has pervaded in punk and rockabilly for decades. Not that Crumms are an amalgam of that—the band is not schticky! I repeat, not a schtick!—but it does deliver D.C.'s most faithful take on The Fuzztones' haunted-house surf punk. There's also some serious darkness to Crumms' jangle: On "Obituaries," from the group's February demo, the band embarks on a full minute of boogeyman guitar wails before kicking into a minute-and-a-half of speedy surf rock with distorted vocals. Crumms play Smash! March 27 and the Dougout March 29.

Encryption Backdoors: The Achilles Heel to Cybersecurity?
By: Segun Onibalusi | Published: February 7, 2020
Source: Nobi Prizue
Takeaway: The war against cybercrimes is ongoing and should not be halted or terminated because cybercriminals are not on the verge of giving up any time soon. Rather, they seem to be getting tech savvier on a daily basis.
The war against cybercrime is ongoing and should not be halted or terminated because cybercriminals are not on the verge of giving up any time soon. Rather, they seem to be getting tech savvier on a daily basis. (Read How Cybercriminals Use GDPR as Leverage to Extort Companies.)
Taking a look at the IC3 Complaint Statistics 2014-2018, it becomes very glaring that we are really facing a cyberwar across the globe.

Different technological and non-technological measures such as weak and strong passwords, single, double, and multi-factor authentication are being fashioned out to arrest the menace caused by hackers but due to the fact that technology itself is advancing rapidly, it will still take some level of work to be able to have full control of the situation. (Read Is Security Research Actually Helping Hackers?)
Some of the measures that have been posited to use in tackling cybercrime include:
Zero-trust strategy
VPN technology
While the zero-trust strategy is not technologically based, both VPN and blockchain are based on technology. Despite the fact that they may have their different shortcomings especially as even renowned VPN providers can have privacy issues the good news is that both have encryption as a feature.
What's the Connection Between Encryption Backdoors and the Government?
It's rather unfortunate that despite all the effort being put in place to ensure that organizations, governments, and individuals are secured, it is the government that may be constituted a stumbling block in checkmating the activities of cybercriminals.
Governments and law enforcement agents around the globe, especially in the Five Eyes (FVEY) intelligence alliance, are not relaxing in their efforts to ensure that there are encryption backdoors.
They claim this is necessary for the interests of national safety and security as criminals and terrorists increasingly use encrypted messages to communicate online.
The FVEY governments believe that there is a widening gap between the ability of law enforcement to lawfully access data and their ability to acquire and use the content of that data, which they term "a pressing international concern." In their opinions, this clearly demands "urgent, sustained attention and informed discussion."
What Exactly is Encryption, Anyway?
Encryption is the method by which your data is converted into a secret code that conceals the information's true meaning. (Read Trusting Encryption Just Got a Lot Harder.)
It's based on the science known as cryptography. Any data that is not encrypted in computing, unencrypted data is referred to as plaintext, while the encrypted data is called ciphertext.
You make use of encryption algorithms or ciphers to encode or decode messages. If an unauthorized party manages to intercept your encrypted data, the only way such data can be meaningful to the intruder is by haphazardly guessing which cipher was used to encrypt the message and also what keys were used as variables.
The best way to crack any encryption key is a "brute-force attack". For example, AES with 256-bit keys has a key length that is 256-bit.
The possible number of combinations that can be used to crack this type of encryption can keep a hacker working throughout life without success. This makes encryption a very valuable asset and security tool.
Why All the Hues About Encryption?
Encryption can be said to be the basic block on which information technology (IT) assets are built and without it, cybercriminals will be having a field day as things are currently. Before going through the tunnel, your data gets encrypted with a special pre-configured algorithm.
Then going out of your device, the encrypted traffic goes via the tunnel to a blockchain or VPN server. The server contacts the requested Internet resource, traffic is decrypted and reaches the resource in an unencrypted way.
The process is the same backward: your data from the website is unencrypted, then it becomes encrypted and conveyed through the tunnel to you where it is finally decrypted.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), are brimming hell on technology companies that offer end-to-end encryption (E2EE). Their argument is that such encryption restricts law enforcement from accessing data and communications even with a warrant.
The FBI described this issue as "going dark," and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is not taking it with a pinch of salt either. The DOJ is calling for what they termed "responsible encryption" that can be unbarred by technology companies under a court order.
Taking it to the extreme, Australia enacted a law that made it compulsory for visitors to render passwords for all digital devices when before entering the country. A five-year jail term is a punishment for failure to comply.
Benefits Derivable from Encryption
Confidentiality — the message's content is encoded.
Authentication — you can easily verify the origin of the message.
Integrity — ensures that the content of the message is still intact and has not been tampered with.
Nonrepudiation — senders have no way of denying the encrypted message originated from them.
Even when you fail to have security behind your mind, the fact that you must meet up with the world's best standards makes it mandatory for you to encrypt your data since you must meet compliance regulations.
Quite a number of organizations and standard bodies recommend or mandate that sensitive data must be encrypted in order to prevent unauthorized third parties or hackers from accessing the data.
A case in point is that of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) where it is absolutely necessary that merchants must encrypt customers' payment card data when it is both stored at rest and broadcasted over unrestricted channels.
5 Examples of Encryption
Link-level encryption
Making use of link-level encryption, you have your data encrypted data when it leaves your network, decrypted at the next link, which may be a host or a relay point, and then it's re-encrypted before it is sent to the next link. You have the advantage of using a different key or even a different algorithm for data encryption by each link.
This process keeps on repeating until your data gets to its destination.
Cloud storage encryption
The world is talking Cloud storage and hence the encryption of data in the cloud cannot be overemphasized. Cloud storage providers are able to encrypt data using encryption algorithms and the data is then placed in cloud storage.
The fundamental difference between cloud encryption and in-house encryption is that cloud customers must take time to learn about the provider's policies and procedures for encryption and encryption key management in order to ensure that encryption is in league with the level of sensitivity of the data being stored.
Network-level encryption
With Network-level encryption you are able to apply crypto services at the network transfer layer — above the data link level but below the application level. The implementation of network encryption is facilitated through Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) as a set of protocols and authentication methods developed for data protection just at the dawn of the Internet, which is a set of open Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standards that, when used in conjunction, design a structure for private transmission over IP systems.
Quantum cryptography
This is based on the quantum mechanical properties of particles to protect data. Going by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle which posits that the two identifying properties of a particle — its location and its momentum — cannot be measured without changing the values of those properties, quantum cryptography is strongly positioned to ensure the security of your data.
For this reason, it's practically impossible to copy any quantum-encoded data since any attempt to access the encoded data will change the data. This will raise a red flag and the authorized parties to the encryption will be notified of the attempted breach.
End-to-end encryption (E2EE)
E2EE ensures that any data being sent between two parties cannot be viewed by an attacker who may have one way or the other intercepted the communication channel. However, the use of an encrypted communication circuit, as provided by Transport Layer Security (TLS) between web client and web server software, is not always enough to ensure E2EE.
You should ensure that the actual content you are transmitting is encrypted by client software before being passed to a web client and decrypted only by the recipient. Examples of messaging apps that provide E2EE include Facebook's WhatsApp and Open Whisper Systems' Signal.
It's also possible for Facebook Messenger users to get E2EE messaging with the Secret Conversations option.
Looking at this succinctly from all angles, what the government is trying to do maybe for the intended good of the populace with encryption backdoors will clearly and overwhelmingly jeopardize the privacy and security of everyone. They should ponder on the gravity of cybercriminals exploiting these same backdoors they are clamoring for.
Without encryption backdoors, the cybercrime situation is barely containable as it stands. What will the scenario look like if we open up our last line of defense to them?
And this is exactly what we shall obtain. The risks are of mammoth proportions.

How to create psychological safety in the hospitality industry
/ By Siobhan Hegarty
Eighty per cent of hospitality workers surveyed by R U OK? in 2018 said they were concerned about mental health issues, like depression and anxiety. (Unsplash: Nathan Dumlao)
A year and a half after becoming the co-owner of an acclaimed Tasmanian restaurant, Bianca Welsh noticed a change in one of her wait staff.
"She was great with guests, always turned up on time and was keen for extra shifts," recalls the restaurateur.
"But then she became forgetful, she'd turn up late and she'd disappear through her shifts … we became aware that she was bulimic, and the binging and purging was happening at work."
Ms Welsh has worked in hospitality since her teens, but this was the first time that such a physical form of mental illness presented under her watch.
She says at the time — almost a decade ago — other restauranteurs would have cut the staff member's shifts until she was effectively rostered out of the business.
"But I didn't want to do that."

Creating a safe environment for important conversations
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics' National Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing, 45 per cent of us will experience a mental health disorder at some point in our life.
But we're not all equipped to support colleagues when we see they're struggling.
Principal organisational psychologist Rachel Clements says it's important for employers to build an environment where mental health can be openly talked about.
"If [a staff member] doesn't feel psychologically safe to come out and talk about their experiences, they're not going to," she points out.
"The organisation can have all these [programs and training], but unless employees feel safe that there won't be a negative consequence — that they won't be excluded, treated differently, or lose their job — they won't feel able to be open."
5 steps to creating a mentally healthy workplace
A workplace that supports mental health isn't just a massive help for employees. It also makes great business sense.
In Ms Welsh's case, she had a private conversation with her staff member about the change she'd noticed.
"It didn't go well to start with," Ms Welsh recalls.
"But after 24 hours she said, 'Thank you so much for raising it with me and yes, I've had problems with eating disorders before. I'm experiencing a stressful time at home at the moment and it's reared its head.'"
This scenario had a positive outcome — the staff member saw a GP and sought help.
But the experience made Ms Welsh realise that to create a mentally friendly workplace, she needed to better understand how the human brain works.
"I knew that these issues weren't going to go away and I wanted to further educate myself as to how best to help people," she says.
She enlisted herself in a Bachelor of Behavioural Sciences degree and started studying psychology part time for the next seven years.
"A lot of people say, 'Oh, you study to understand the customer.' The customer is the least of my worries, to be honest. In terms of psychology, it's the staff that is the biggest challenge."
Depression, anxiety and self-medication
The suicide deaths of several high-profile chefs, including Anthony Bourdain and Jeremy Strode, have cast a spotlight on mental illness in the hospitality industry in the last few years.
If you or anyone you know needs help:
Lifeline on 13 11 14
beyondblue on 1300 224 636
MensLine Australia on 1300 789 978
Suicide Call Back Service on 1300 659 467
Butterfly Foundation on 1800 33 4673
National Eating Disorders Collaboration
Kids Helpline on 1800 551 800
Headspace on 1800 650 890
QLife on 1800 184 527
A survey by R U OK? in 2018 revealed that 80 per cent of hospitality workers were concerned about mental health issues like depression and anxiety.
The statistic hits home for chef Amber Kaba, who has been through alcohol addiction herself and whose friend and mentor Richard Moyser died by suicide earlier this year.
"[Richard] would talk to me about the fact that he wasn't doing so well, and he thought that giving up drinking would be beneficial to his mental health," she recalls.
But she says she didn't feel like she was able to help her friend before he took his own life.
"That left me feeling really powerless."

In memory of Richard, Ms Kaba founded the White Jacket Effect, an organisation dedicated to raising awareness about mental health in the hospitality industry.
"He used to call chefs 'white jackets' and the effect I'm wanting to make is one of real positive change," she says.
Through bringing chefs together and introducing them to mental health services, Ms Kaba hopes to change the hard-line approach harboured in some kitchens.
"In this industry, we usually get told to 'push on' and 'just keep going', and sometimes that is the worst thing you could be told to do," she says.
'Suck it up'
Ms Welsh agrees that outdated attitudes towards mental health still exist in some parts of the industry.
"There is that old world mentality … that you've got to suck it up," she says.
"And the [stereotype of the] old chef screaming at you and throwing knives is, I think, still present in some places."
There are also environmental stressors at play in hospitality work.
"Late nights, early mornings … they're unsociable hours, so you can be really isolated if you don't make friends with your team," Ms Welsh points out.
"When I first started, I was surrounded by people who would self-medicate with drinking or illicit substances or smoking."
Taking a mental health day
Mental health days benefit both employees and employers, but many of us don't take them. Here are tips on how to take a mental health day, minus the guilt.
To create a more positive work culture, Ms Welsh says staff at her Launceston-based restaurants have access to three free, confidential counselling sessions through an employee assistance program.
"We try and make people feel comfortable to have a mental health day or, if they're struggling, to say something," she says.
"That way we can change their role, so they have less customer interaction. They can do other tasks around the place, have a shorter shift or just have the manager aware that they're only at 80 per cent and might need a little bit of extra help."
"I think that a big part of the recovery — or the journey to [mental wellness] — is to be able to still function."
Ultimately, Ms Welsh says she aims to meet people where they are at.
"[Creating a healthy workplace is] about understanding that everyone walking through your door, be it a customer or a staff member, could be going through something — mental illness or just a bad day," she says.
"For someone to be mentally well is the rarity."
Tips for improving mental health in your workplace
We asked Bianca Welsh and mental health first aid instructor Fiona Price about the best ways to help people deal with mental health in the workplace:
If you notice a colleague's performance has changed, or they seem stressed or overly tired, find an appropriate time and setting to ask if they're OK, says Ms Welsh.
Don't assume they want to talk about what they're experiencing or want your help, says Ms Price. But let them know the door is always open, should they wish to talk.
Phrases like "Go home" or "You need to not be here" can make people feel more isolated or useless, says Ms Welsh: "Particularly with anxiety, you ruminate over things that make you feel worthless."
If your organisation has access to an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), let your team know that.
Don't pity colleagues experiencing mental ill health, says Ms Price. Instead, focus on their strengths. "For some people, mental ill health isn't going to impact their job at all," she adds.
Ms Welsh recently completed a mental health first aid course with front-of-house staff and offered "practical tools for how to have a conversation with someone" about their mental health.

Munich, 16 July 2012 – Technology company The Linde Group will be constructing two major air separation units at the Kalinganagar industrial complex in Odisha, India, for one of the world's largest steel manufacturers, Tata Steel Limited. Linde will be investing EUR 80 million in this project. The two companies recently signed an agreement to this effect. The air separation units are part of a long-term, on-site gases supply contract for a new integrated steelworks that Tata is currently building in Kalinganagar.
"We are delighted to have the opportunity to continue our long-term partnership with Tata Steel through this project," explains Sanjiv Lamba, Member of the Executive Board of Linde AG responsible for Asia. "This investment enables us to strengthen our position as the leading gases provider in the fast-growing Indian market. Our aim is to remain part of the Kalinganagar industrial complex expansion story as it evolves into an important steel hub," he continues.
Each of the two new air separation plants will be capable of producing 1,200 tonnes of air gases per day. Once they go on stream in 2014, the units will supply gaseous oxygen, nitrogen and argon to the steelworks that Tata Steel is currently building. They will also produce liquid gases for the regional market. In a further step, Linde intends to lay an extensive network of pipelines at the Kalinganagar industrial complex in order to supply other steel producers with industrial gases in the future.
Tata's new blast furnace based steel plant is also set to go on stream in 2014. It will initially produce three million tonnes of steel per year. The company aims to increase capacity in the medium term to 12 million tonnes per year. The new steelworks is the first production facility of its kind to be built in India in 15 years.

Concealed Carry without a Permit
South Dakota added a law to allow concealed carry without a permit.
It is a perfect example of the national gun control debate. The first bill signed in 2019 by the first woman ever elected governor in the state, Kristi Noem, signed "Constitutional Carry".
In a republican dominated state, the process to get the law approved was fairly quick. Proponents said it was needed to protect 2nd amendment rights for law abiding South Dakota citizens. They said the $10 fee and permit verification process infringed on their rights. The law allows anyone who is legal to own a gun – including minors in the presence of their parents to conceal carry a fire arm. Opponents said 84% of the citizens in South Dakota including law enforcement supported the current system that required a $10 permit.
The new law brought additional debate twists to other state gun laws :
Concealed Carry will not be allowed in South Dakota Buildings housing the state legislature.
Concealed Carry will not be allowed on college campuses
A stolen gun registry in the states' largest city may have to be abandoned.

A: Using display: inline; on your ul, li is affecting the flex you have on your ul. The proper way of removing the :marker's on the ul is by using list-style-type: none; on your li. Doing this solves your space-evenly issue.

Assessing fragile mining environments with consultancy ecologia Environment
8 October 2014	(Last Updated October 8th, 2014 18:30)
Western Australia based ecologia Environment provides environmental consulting services to mining operators and has worked amongst some of the most delicate ecosystems on the planet. We speak to the company's general manager Dr Lazaro Roque-Albelo about driving sustainability in mining and how ecologia hopes to progress in the next five years.
Before even being given the go ahead, all mining projects in sensitive regions of Australia must undergo rigorous environmental assessment to ensure the sustainable development of these areas. While the level of assessment does vary from project to project, operators will generally have to demonstrate that their project will either not have a significant impact or, if there will be significant environmental effects, that these can be adequately managed – whether this be by the avoidance of sensitive areas, the ongoing monitoring of impacts or the provision of offsets.
If these assessments – and the subsequent measures, monitoring or offsets – are not carried out, Australia, which is home to some of the most fragile ecosystems in the world, could be faced with population loss to rare species or even, in extreme cases, their extinction.
And it's not easy to understand the impact a complex mining operation could have on a delicate ecosystem. For example, in remote or rugged areas, there may be species which only exist in that one particular spot and have not yet been formally described, while social factors, such as the impact of a project on indigenous local communities, also come into play.
Environmental consultancies, such as Western Australia based ecologia Environment, therefore, have a key role to play both in the assessment of new projects before they are granted approval and in their ongoing management. Crucially, enlisting the help of companies like ecologia should never be left until the last minute.
Elly Earls met ecologia's general manager Dr Lazaro Roque-Albelo to find out more about why incorporating sustainability into a mining project from the outset is key, how operators' attitudes to sustainability are evolving and what's next for ecologia Environment.
Elly Earls: can you briefly explain why your work is so important in the Australian mining industry?
Dr Lazaro Roque-Albelo: By facilitating initial project approval and satisfying regulatory conditions for ongoing operation of mining infrastructure, not only do we help mining companies reduce delays in project approval, which can be expensive for the mining industry, we also guarantee the sustainable development of the areas where the projects are located by using the most up-to-date approaches in environmental management.
EE: What would the consequences for the environment be if companies like yours were not brought in before mining operations took place?
LRA: The consequences of not undertaking rigorous impact assessment of the biological values prior to mining and other developments can include the loss of rare species and ecosystems. In many cases, infrastructure can be designed to avoid areas of highest conservation significance, but ongoing impact monitoring may be required to demonstrate the effectiveness of impact mitigation measures.
EE: ecologia has assessed some of the most sensitive areas on the planet. Could you give one or two examples of projects that were particularly challenging?
LRA: Some of the most interesting areas for biological assessments in Western Australia are the isolated Banded Ironstone Formation (BIF) ranges scattered across the southern half of the state. The ancient rocks of which these ranges are composed act as islands in a sea of relatively homogenous plains. Many of the BIF ranges support endemic species of plant and animal which occur only on that one range, and nowhere else in the world.
Other areas of ecologia's expertise include the tropical wet forests of the Andes in South America; these forests support over 50% of the global biodiversity with plants and animals unique to this ecosystem. These places are fascinating for their unique biological values, but present challenges when developments and conservation objectives have to meet.
EE: What made these projects so challenging, and how did you overcome the biggest obstacles?
LRA: The main challenges in these projects from the biological perspective are with producing fine-scale distribution and abundance data for species that are often poorly known and, in many cases, not yet formally described. This can involve the physical challenges of accessing isolated areas and rugged terrain as many of these species only occur in isolation.
The challenge is to understand the habitat preferences of these species in sufficient detail that most effort is spent in areas where they are most likely to occur, and find new populations in areas that have not previously been adequately surveyed. This is what motivates our biologists – to get to know the species in an area so that we can predict where and when they occur, and in the future to be able to design habitats suitable for the return of these species after the mining has come to an end.
In addition to the biological challenges, there are also social challenges, especially when working in under-developed countries or with isolated communities. Many of those areas are inhabited by indigenous groups which are closely linked to the surrounding environment and at the same time have high expectation of the potential economic benefit that a mining project can bring to their communities. We can overcome these challenges by supporting the development of a holistic model of sustainable development that recognises the need of economic growth delivering a social and environmental solution for the benefit of local communities and the environment.
EE: Are mining operators in Australia as aware as they need to be about sustainability issues?
LRA: There is a wide range of attitudes to sustainability within the mining industry. Increasingly, mining companies incorporate sustainability into the core of their businesses, but there are some operators which still consider sustainability and environmental considerations as separate from their main business functions.
Incorporating sustainability proactively throughout an operation is a more efficient and effective approach to minimising approval delays and satisfying regulatory conditions. Leaving environmental studies until the last minute is the most expensive and high risk approach.
EE: Tell me a bit about some of your most exciting up and coming projects.
LRA: The most exciting projects involve our ongoing monitoring programs in very sensitive areas, such as the Pilbara and the Kimberley in Western Australia. In addition, we are excited about the opportunities to support the development of environmental impact assessment (EIA) systems in countries with emerging mining industries but with enormous natural resources and biodiversity.
EE: How do you hope ecologia will progress over the next one to five years?
LRA: I'd like to see ecologia continue to develop our current strengths in biological impact assessments and monitoring programs, but also develop into designing post-mining landscapes that provide habitats for species of conservation significance and positively contribute to the viability of the species unique to the areas.
Also, I'd like to see the company working with the local communities, integrating their ancestral knowledge of the values of the environment with the practical solutions to achieve sustainable development.

There's an old saying that states, "You never know how strong you are until you have to be." That statement is so true for Shondia, a wife and mother of two, who a few years ago, had to be the strongest in her life when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. But the way she found out was much different than what you normally here.
BlackDoctor.org recently sat down with Shondia to share her story.
It was December 23, 2010. I didn't have lumps, discomfort, or discharge. I had no symptoms of breast cancer. It was simply the Holy Spirit that whispered to me, "You need to get a mammogram!" I'm so thankful I was able to get one. Two weeks later, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in both breasts! In my right breast, I had stage 0. I also had two different types of cancer in my right breast, DCIS and LCIS. In my left breast, I had DCIS and I had 2 stages of cancer. One area was stage 0 and another area was stage 1A, that was near a blood vessel!
How did you feel? I feel good all over, thru and thru!!
When and why did you make the decision to have a double mastectomy? I made the decision to have a mastectomy, a week before my surgery. Since those little breasts turned on me and became cancerous, I didn't want anything else to do with them!! Both of them had to go!!
Did your relationships with your family and friends change? Yes, I found out who was for me and who wasn't (family and friends) and I'm so thankful the truth was revealed!!


A humanitarian emergency is unfolding in the camp in northeast Syria overwhelmed with people who fled the last battlefields of ISIS extremists — and a top priority is helping hundreds of unaccompanied children return home, the head of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said Tuesday.
Peter Maurer, who visited the al-Hol camp in Hassakeh province on March 21, told a small group of reporters that it was established in the 1990s to accommodate about 5,000 Iraqi refugees and is now overcrowded with between 80,000 and 100,000 people.
The estimates are that about 35,000 people in al-Hol are Syrians, around 35,000-40,000 are Iraqis, and the rest, probably around 10,000, are from between 30 and 40 other nations worldwide, Maurer said.
"Because they can't prove who they are they are basically put in detention-like facility in camps," he said.
At its height, the ISIS ruled a third of both Syria and Iraq, holding millions hostage to its harsh and violent interpretation of Islamic law.
He said some countries will accept them, and will even accept fighters who are put into either detention or reintegration and deradicalization programs. But some countries object to taking their people back, he said, citing Britain, Europe overall, and others.

Craving WW2 stuff after finishing Enemy at the Gate and reading Enigma, we've been watching a documentary about Bletchley Park, Station X. It's excellent, and I'm enjoying the interviews with people on both sides. After that, we'll see the Derek Jacobi play about Turing, Breaking the Code.
Last night however, we saw the first part of three of The Making of Blake's 7, the documentary series B7E (I think) stopped them adding to the DVDs as extras. It's amazingly good, made in 1999, I think: very informative, and interviewees include Terry Nation (some of these interviews must have been made a lot earlier), Gareth Thomas, Michael Keating, Jan Chappell, Jacqueline Pearce, Chris Boucher, Vere Lorimer, Matt Irvin, David Maloney, and several others. I don't think it was ever shown because there's a time counter running in the top left corner, but it's properly edited and, unusually, actually kept Greg watching, it's so interesting. It's well worth seeing. This part covered S1, and the next two S2 and S3. They never made one for S4, but that's no great loss. ;-) For those interested, it's on The Box, like the others.
What else? I went out to dinner (delicious Italian) on Saturday night, I've made Greg a very cool late birthday present scarf, and I'm reading Pompeii by Robert Harris, which is as good as I suspected it would be.


We are combining chocolate and breakfast. Yes, it's healthy. Just go with it.
After an especially-challenging workout, the body can use a little extra protein. I'm a huge fan of (homemade) smoothies and if you have a few extra minutes to blend up your post-workout breakfast, it will be totally worth it. For the past two mornings, I've made this dessert-y smoothie and it tastes too delicious to be healthy. But I promise it is!
Chocolate and berry with all the nutritional benefits of low-fat, high protein for 180 calories. Stick the yogurt in the freezer for an hour to make the smoothie extra thick!
I'm not too familiar with supplements or protein products. (I would eat my entire day's value of protein from peanut butter if it weren't so dang fattening ;) ) So when I was shopping at Sprout's the other day and spotted "Whey Isolate Protein Powder" I thought I would try it out. The unflavored powder is only 35 calories per 2.5 Tablespoons, and can be easily added to oatmeal, smoothies, and protein pancakes.
Whey is a high-quality source of protein that comes from milk, and Isolates are processed to remove fat and lactose. Whey Isolate Protein Powder is virtually entirely protein, without fat, lactose or carbs. It's generally the most expensive because of this. It's fast-ingesting, supports a strong immune system by working as an antioxidant, and of course speeds up muscle recovery.
According to this Runner's World article, cocoa has a positive effect on endurance athletes. Enough said! ;) 1 tablespoon of cocoa a day adds nutritional value with antioxidants, fiber and magnesium. And also I believe it makes you happy!
I've got plenty of protein powder left, so more fun smoothies to come!

U.S. President Donald Trump hailed the firing of the FBI's deputy director, but Democrats and other critics attacked it as a politically motivated, vindictive move, as partisan rancor hightened over the controversial decision.
Trump on March 17 used a Twitter posting to call the dismissal of Andrew McCabe a "great day for democracy" and that the FBI's No. 2 official knew "all about the lies and corruption going on at the highest levels of the FBI!"
The president's remarks came hours after Attorney General Jeff Sessions late on March 16 fired McCabe, who had been criticized by Trump for showing "bias" in the investigation of ties between his campaign and Russia.
Sessions said the firing was based on the recommendation of the FBI's inspector-general and Office of Professional Responsibility.
McCabe denied any wrongdoing and said his credibility had been attacked as "part of a larger effort not just to slander me personally" but also the FBI and law enforcement.
McCabe, who had served with the FBI for 21 years, was about 26 hours from his planned retirement from the bureau on his 50th birthday, meaning the dismissal likely cost him his full pension, worth an estimated $1.8 million.
Former CIA Director John Brennan, who has often publicly criticized Trump, responded on Twitter to the president's remarks: "When the full extent of your venality, moral turpitude, and political corruption becomes known, you will take your rightful place as a disgraced demagogue in the dustbin of history. You may scapegoat Andy McCabe, but you will not destroy America...America will triumph over you."
Senator Kamala Harris (Democrat-California), who is on the Senate Judiciary and Intelligence committees, said Sessions should testify before Congress to determine whether the firing was made in retaliation against those investigating Russian election interference and Moscow's alleged ties to Trump's campaign.
The firing came nine months after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey over Comey's handling of the Russia investigation -- a move that alarmed Congress and led to the creation of a special counsel and the appointment of Robert Mueller to conduct the investigation.
McCabe's firing is likely to raise questions about whether McCabe received overly harsh treatment due to political pressure from Trump, who has blasted him on Twitter and called for his ouster.
John Dowd, Trump's personal lawyer, cited the "brilliant and courageous example" by Sessions and said Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein should "bring an end" to the Russia investigation "manufactured" by Comey.
Dowd first said he was speaking for Trump as his lawyer, but he later issued a statement to media outlets saying he was speaking only for himself and not for the president.

Luke Fitzpatrick's No-Holds-Barred Approach: Start Marketing Your Startup From Day One!
Posted on Monday, April 18, 2016 Monday, September 19, 2016 by Chris Shimamoto
A visit to the website of Shushnote presents viewers with a zoomed-in image of a cute, furry hamster—and not much else. Aside from a button teasing "I dare you to sign up" and links to several social media sites, the site of the soon-to-launch startup remains fairly barren. Visitors must click through to the "About" section of the company's Facebook page to learn of plans to produce "software for celebrities, investors and media" with little else to go on.
The ambiguity surrounding the purpose of Shushnote underscores the business philosophy of Luke Fitzpatrick, an Australian serial entrepreneur and founder of the company. In an interview with Founder's Guide, Fitzpatrick filled us in (kind of) on his vision for Shushnote and his broader approach to entrepreneurship and business development.
Aggressive approach to publicity
Fitzpatrick's public relations strategy can be compared to a Jackson Pollock painting. Like the renowned expressionist painter, Fitzpatrick creates an organized chaos of sorts by employing a number of bold tactics in hopes of creating an optimal outcome.
"Start marketing your startup from Day One," he advises. "There is nothing stopping you from setting up your landing page, social media and guest posts on sites [before launching]…Get stuff done. Prove your worth."
The Shushnote website and corresponding social media well capture this approach. The website's main feature is an adorable hamster picture while the Facebook page mostly consists of viral memes with little apparent relevance. He hopes that the random, attention-grabbing media draws in viewers, further piquing curiosity with vague teasers about his impending project.
Fitzpatrick employs a similar no-holds-barred strategy to attract investors claiming that the initial focus "is not on getting an investment—but making investors aware." He follows up by driving home the importance of early, widespread exposure: "By reaching out to investors early, you can establish a relationship, give them brief updates from time-to-time and if they like what they see, they invest."
Most startups, according to Fitzpatrick, get a late start on fundraising which retards their growth. Aggressive outreach maximizes the prospect of breakthrough funding that can accelerate expansion. While most investors may ignore his solicitations, sending out a gentle heads-up has practically no downside and significant potential upside.
Big goals
Fitzpatrick has lofty aims for his many projects, unsurprising in light of his outgoing approach to business promotion.
"Shushnote will generate millions of dollars for charities," he claims. "At Shushnote, we have a bold mission, 'to restore humanity'." These are big goals for sure and one wonders if shedding more detail on his plans would boost his credibility. Nevertheless, Fitzpatrick believes it is essential to aim high and inspire through ambition adding, "Teams need to feel like they can make a difference and not just work for some copycat startup."
In addition to Shushnote, Fitzpatrick has big plans to take on homelessness in Australia. Not unexpectedly, he plans on sparking a broader discussion by pulling a major publicity stunt, outlining his plan as such:
"My goal is to propose a solution to the Lord Mayor of Sydney, Clover Moore, to fix homelessness—and get this on world news. The only way I can see the press actually caring is if I personally go homeless in front of the Mayor's office, which I will do…if I propose my ideas on the spotlight, it forces her to listen and act. If my idea is correct, it will create a ripple effect whereby other world leaders around the world will be pressured to do something about it."
Importance of hedging
Yet in spite of his bold shoot-for-the-moon tactics, Fitzpatrick recognizes the importance of managing risk, a lesson he learned from previous entrepreneurial ventures.
One of his biggest mistakes, he claims, was working fulltime on Shushnote without securing a stable source of income. "Quite often, founders leave their day job to work on their startup full time," he notes. "My best advice to any new startup—create an income source before you start you startup; the sooner you do this, the better."
Fitzpatrick currently gets by consulting startups for a fee, which he wishes he started doing earlier. He recently launched Ghacklabs, a startup consulting business to help him fund Shushnote. It's a very simple setup wherein people pay $1 to ask a question but it's already raised $1005 in the first month. According to Fitzpatrick, version 2 will be launching very soon.
This experience segues into a summary of his final thoughts to us as he emphasizes the importance of a balanced approach to entrepreneurship. Boldness and aggression are essential for giving your business legs, especially with regards to marketing and investor solicitation. But as he has learned from his many experiences, financial stability and a well-defined, actionable strategy can go a long way towards maximizing success.

Understand victim classification, the protocols around making contact, keeping victims informed, storing data and restorative justice.
The YOT must store the victim's details securely and separately from details kept on offenders. Information on victims should be destroyed when the restorative justice intervention in a case is at an end. Information that is retained for evaluation purposes must be anonymous.
Victims should be informed about the YOT's policy on storing information, as well as their right to access information stored about them.
YOTs must ensure that all staff working with victims have had appropriate training. Relevant modules are on the YJB Resource Hub.
If victims ask for additional help, the YOT must give them access to information about local services providing advice, information and support to victims of crime. They should do this at any time during or after a restorative process.
Failure to comply with the code does not make a person liable to legal proceedings but a court can take it into account when making decisions.
If a victim feels that the YOT has not delivered services in accordance with the code the individual that dealt with them should should first discuss their complaint. After this the YOT should alert the victim to the internal complaints procedure.
If the victim is not satisfied with the outcome, they can refer the issue to the Parliamentary Ombudsman through a Member of Parliament.

Deutschland, Großherzogthum Mecklenburg Volkszählungen
Record Description[edit | edit source]
This collection of census records pertains to the census of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin conducted in 1867, 1890, and 1900. Mecklenburg censuses were conducted intermittently from 1636 to 1939.
This is a collection of censuses of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Germany.
The 1900 census consist of two forms: the individual forms (Zählkarten), which lists information about each person, and the household lists (Haushaltungslisten), which identify the members of a family and their relationship to the head of household. Both forms are filed by place. These places are then arranged alphabetically by each manorial district or city (Ritteramt, Domänenamt, Klosteramt, Stadt).
A name index and images for a portion of The 1890 census consist of a name index arranged by towns under their enumeration district. Two types of forms are found for each town: Zählkarten and Namenslisten. The Zählkarten list individuals and give the date and place of birth, occupation, residence, gender and marital status, etc. The Namenslisten list the inhabitants of a given household and show relationship to the head of the household. Most of the census did not survive.
Census of citizens of Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin as of 2/3 December 1867. Authorized enumerators, went from house to house in their appointed areas, recording in a "household list" of each person who was present at the time in the apartment or house. Household members who were not physically present at the time of the census were recorded in an addendum. The following information was recorded about each person: first and last name, gender, year of birth, religious affiliation, marital status, occupation or social standing, citizenship, the reason why visitors were in the census area, and distinguishing physical characteristics. Based on the 1867 census, population of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin was determined to be 560,668. Of those, 193,882 people lived in the cities.
The censuses cover territory controlled by the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. For the 1900 census, takers went to each house in each of the 2,559 districts and recorded all the inhabitants as of December 1, 1900, therefore covering about 95 to 98 percent of the population living in Mecklenburg-Schwerin in December of 1900.
The original records are preserved at the German State Archives in Schwerin. The Family History Library has copies on microfilm also.
The censuses were taken to assess military and taxation capacity, as well as for religious, occupational, and language background.
Census information was provided by any member of the household. If some information was incomplete, the census taker had to return to the houseold to complete the information. Each record was signed by the census taker as verification of its accuracy.

The Prisoner: Fall Out
Posted on April 29, 2020 by Roger Pocock
What an extraordinary episode, and I approach writing about it with some trepidation, knowing that it is going to be impossible to do it justice. Perhaps it is necessary to first deal with what this episode is not. It is not any kind of a conclusion or resolution to the series we have been watching for the previous sixteen episodes. It does not provide an actual encounter with Number One (who must actually exist due to the telephone conversations we have been shown). It does not answer the question of why Number Six resigned, or even reveal his name. It does not confirm who runs the village or the connection with Number Six's former bosses. It does not even definitely show the escape of Number Six. Note how his flat has an automatic door, and the episode ends with a moment from the usual title sequence, plus this is clearly not the same village as Number Six previously escaped from by raft, as he is able to be driven to London. So if we want to constrain the episode within some kind of real-world logic, we can only really interpret it as another episode of mind-controlled dreaming, with the Prisoner continuing to be imprisoned.
What McGoohan wanted to give the viewers at the time was an allegory. This whole series has been remarkably ahead of its time, and maybe Britain wasn't ready for it. McGoohan literally had to head for the hills because of the reaction of an angry public, not yet culturally mature enough to accept anything other than a Bond movie villain face off. But McGoohan was happy to get some kind of a reaction anyway:
"As long as people feel something, that's the great thing, it's when they're walking around not thinking, not feeling… that's where all the dangerous stuff is, cause when you get a mob like that, you can turn them in to the sort of gang that Hitler had."
So yes, basically McGoohan was a genius and he made this episode about three major issues that beset the human condition: the battle against our own evils, the corruption of power, and the demonisation of youth. The first of those is the most blatant, with Number One a crazed reflection of Number Six. The way it is shot is utterly terrifying, although no allowance is made for the viewing habits of the time. I had to do a fair bit of replaying of the shot to see exactly what was going on. For a 1960s viewer with no facilities to pause, rewind or rewatch, it was a confusing four seconds and then gone. This feels so much like a series made for a later era it's uncanny.
The corruption of power is present in Number Six's illusory status as the new boss of the Village. He is placed on a throne and deferred to, treated as royalty, and yet when the moment comes for him to give a speech he is shouted down. The respect is an illusion, as is his power. As always with this series, there is a power behind the throne. The same applies on a wider political level. Note how Number Two heads for Parliament at the end, and also how his big regret is to not have resisted corruption:
"What is deplorable is that I resisted for so short a time."
Perhaps most importantly, the episode portrays the demonisation of youth culture. All You Need is Love, by the Beatles, plays at key moments in the episode, and the Beatles were of course the embodiment of youth culture at the time. They also generated a lot of fear from the older generation and cultural conservatives in general, with the US government even attempting to ban all British acts from performing a couple of years earlier.
"Youth, with it's enthusiasms, which rebels against any accepted norm because it must, and we sympathise… when the common good is threatened, when the function of society is threatened, such revolts must cease. They are non-productive and must be abolished."
… and then later in the episode:
"We have just witnessed two forms of revolt. The first, uncoordinated youth, rebelling against nothing it can define. The second, an established, successful, secure member of the establishment, turning on and biting the hand that feeds him."
… with the word "youth" positively spat out.
"Humanity is not humanised without force."
So those are some of the key themes (and there are many more), but what about the means by which those themes are delivered? Well, it's all gloriously surreal. It reminded me strongly of Alice in Wonderland, particularly the 1966 version, also starring Leo McKern. It was all quite nightmarish, disturbing, and more than a little Pig and the Pepper, with the overall storyline also reflecting the trial theme from Alice. The four main leads: McGoohan, McKern, Alexis Kanner and Kenneth Griffith, all provide faultless performances that burn themselves into your consciousness: Kanner's crazed singing of Dem Bones (which presumably was chosen because it references rebirth in Ezekiel, reflecting the cyclical nature of the Prisoner's captivity), McKern's crazed laughter, and fourth wall lean when he says "be seeing you" to the camera, Griffith's mood constantly turning on a sixpence, and McGoohan's unfazed reaction to everything, reflective of a dream state.
"You are free to go."
Like the Prisoner, freedom might just be an illusion. For anyone who has watched this series, I suspect the Village lives on in our minds and souls forever. Simply unforgettable. RP
We begin the end of this strange eventful history with a recap. Well, this is where it ends. This is the resolution we've all been waiting for, where all our questions get answered. Except not very much really gets resolved here. In fact, we are left with more questions than answers. To quote a certain door:
WELL COME… To Fallout.
Fallout offers us three possible solutions to this series. Let's look at it as, shall we say, A, B & C?
A. This is all meant to be a real place with real events
B. It's actually a deep science fiction story
C. It's inside the mind of #6, a psychological "coming of age" story
Let's start with the easiest option, subject A:
As the camera opens on the beautiful Village, we learn it is filmed in the Hotel Portmeirion in North Wales. I've been there and it is magical! The mystery is solved for the viewer, but not for the character. We've seen that the Village has some American influences (of the people, by the people, for the people – Dance of the Dead, US Dollars – Do Not Forsake Me Oh, My Darling). We've been told it's off the coast of Morocco (Many Happy Returns) while another time it was 30 miles from the Polish border, near Lithuania (Chimes of Big Ben). The gunrunners of Many Happy Returns may have even been bringing the guns to the Village based on what we see in this episode. This all points towards an actual place. In Fallout, the Village appears to be down the A20, somewhere outside central London! So are we really any wiser about it's location? Perhaps other possibilities exist. Perhaps there is more than one Village, all designed to look identical? Fallout may just take place down the A20 but the other Villages still exist. This might tie in with subject C, but considering how often #6 was drugged, how hard would it be to transport him without his knowledge?
When #6 overcomes the Village, he is given money, a passport to go anywhere, the key to his home, and petty cash. He can leave if he wants to. "You are free to go." But when he finds yet another village trick in the control room, he no longer cares about power and just wants to leave. He takes his reward and escapes with his fellow revolutionaries, shooting all the guards and leaving. (All you need is love plays ironically in the background). We see #48 hitchhiking, but he has no direction in mind. He starts on one side of the road, then moves across to the other side of the road, going in the opposite direction. #2, who has had the "ear of statesmen, kings and princes of many lands" goes back to Parliament, to reclaim a position of power, ultimately biting the hand that fed him yet again; this time that of the Village. And number 6 goes home to 1 Buckingham Place. He hops in his car and begins driving back to work, possibly to give them a piece of his mind or maybe to tell them that the bomb he knew about, the rocket, has been dealt with. He can start working again knowing that the ultimate threat has been handled. End of story.
Let's look at subject B, the alien power:
When #2 looks the rocket "in the eye" he says, "Whoever you are. Whatever you are…" This may be telling. What we see is rocket with a blinking green eye which communicates and holds power over people. Let's not forget, that strange rubber orb-creature, Rover, that exists, emerging from the seabed; it can attack people as needed. Let's also not forget that #2 has been resurrected from the dead. We've seen plenty of clones, including one of #6 (The Schizoid Man) and we've seen mind transfer (Do Not Forsake Me Oh, My Darling). The cave is peopled with faceless masses that seem to have no thought of their own. Observe what happens when #6 says "I"; they react like beings that have no sense of self. And when #48 sings Dem Bones, (a religious song about Ezekiel animating the bones of the dead with the words of the Lord), those faceless masses spring to life, flailing about manically. "Dem bones, dem bones gonna walk around…" and that is exactly what they do: walk aimlessly. #48 creates chaos until the green eye of 1, some unknown entity, somehow communicates with the President. But even the President is not immune to those words. Finally, just before we get to meet #1, we see are a number of globes. Are these parallel Earths representing different realities? Maybe in which each Village exists in a different location. When #6 defeats the alien, the Village of that one was just down the A20? It might also explain why #6 has so many contradicting events happen throughout the series. Might this explanation not also explain why #2 and #48 are kept in glass containers marked ORBIT?
When we get to the control room, #1 extends a crystal ball from which the final scene of every episode is shown on a loop. #6 removes the black and white mask to reveal a gibbering monkey. He pulls that mask off and faces himself. Is this another clone? Remember the line: "we thought you'd feel happier as yourself". Let's not forget, when #6 says to the President, "I see," the President replies, "You do. You see all!" With all the cameras around the Village, #1 did see all, but not #6, unless 6 is 1. "All about you is… yours!" Again, #1 was the true power behind the village and the entire cave scene is there to transfer "ultimate power". Is that power, as the President put it, "the right to be person, someone, or individual… All the remains is recognition of a man… a man of steel." Has #6 earned the right to be a person, free of the alien power that created him. The original version no longer able to rule, is abandoned.
That might indicate that he was being tested to see if he would ever break and thus be identified as an alien. Perhaps he is "a plant" (as #2 said in Hammer Into Anvil, though he meant it for totally different reasons!) By plant, I mean, a being designed to look like us to infiltrate our most trusted institutions. If this is the case, that gives new meaning to what happens when he drives back to work at the end of the story. He is now in place and living among us? Or maybe his "right to be person, someone, or individual" means he is free of his creator and has earned the right to be a human being. Has he heard the word of the Lord, and been set free. It is interesting that his final revolt against #1 is after hearing Dem Bones. When he meets #1, they seem to attack each other with our #6 casting his "creator" into the nosecone of the rocket and launching it. This scene gives an entirely new take on a little musical piece that has played since episode one:
Round and round the mulberry bush, the monkey chased the weasel.
The monkey thought it was all in fun. POP goes the weasel.
The interesting thing about this scene is that it could exist as proof of B or C. #6 beats his "master". This is both literal (overcoming a creature that has created and controlled him) or figuratively (overcoming one's inner demons, or choosing freedom – another motif that has been a part of the series since the start.)
Of course, it could all be in his mind. None of it actually having taken place in the real world at all. We come at last to subject C.
If there were no village, and it's all in his head, it becomes a question of identity, which has been at the heart of the show right from the beginning. From the moment he is drugged at the start of Arrival, perhaps he never wakes up until the end of Fallout. The hearse drives past him as he gets back in his car, in that final minute of the episode. Surely the driver hadn't waited there for the last year(s). Perhaps no time has passed in the real world. What does that say of the unnamed hero, searching for his identity?
In Once Upon a Time, Leo McKern's #2 makes the comment of the Butler, "he thinks you're the boss". There are three people in the embryo room and the Butler begins to see 6 as the boss. Let's talk psychology: there's the Id, Ego, and Superego; three "people in a room". The id is the primitive part of the brain, instinctual, driven by emotion. The superego is the moral center, which #6 seems to represent, though his pacing like a caged animal might be the restrained id trying to get out. The Ego is the realistic part that balances Id and Superego. Is the id repressed, like the Butler, who never says a word an only occasionally does something? And when he does, he brutally wallops #6 across the back of the head to prevent his superego from overthrowing his ego completely? Maybe the "transfer of ultimate power" is accepting oneself completely; after all, when they escape, Id, ego, superego and … childhood all leave together, one whole.
Let's also consider, in Once Upon a Time, #6 is brought into a cave; he has to look under the surface for answers. Rather apt, if this whole ordeal has been in his mind. And once in the cave, no one seems to care why #6 resigned. In fact, to parallel #2's comment in Once Upon a Time ("you're number nothing!"), the President dismisses calling #6 by a number altogether. He must no longer be referred to as "number 6 or a number of any kind." He has "gloriously vindicated the right of the individual to be individual." As such, he is raised, nearly deified; this is represented by the throne. "I feel a new man! … My dear chap, how've you been keeping? The throne at last! I knew it. It had to be!" And when #6 speaks to the crowd, there's meaning there too…
The people have no faces, but they have titles. The ones I was able to see are: Welfare, Pacifists, Activists, Identification, defectors, therapy, reactionists, nationalists, education, youngsters, rehabilitation, entertainment, old folk, recreation. Notice that these are all concepts associated with groups. It's important to realize because when the President asks #6 to "tell us a true statement which could only be yours, but for us", #6 gets up in front of the crowd and gets as far as "I" before he is drowned out by the cheering, faceless people behind him. But think about it: that's the only thing he could say which is uniquely his. An individual is by definition singular, one. I is not us, we, them, they, etc. In short, it is not a collective, it is a singular word spoken to represent individuality. There are many Mike's, many Roger's, many John Drake's, but there is only ever one I. And this even gets a "hip, hip, hooray" from them when they make it a part of who they are. Furthermore, when #6 goes face to face with his alter ego in the monkey mask, "I! I! I! I! I!" is playing over and over. (Ironically, when the rocket launches, Carmen Miranda plays with the opening strand "I, I, I… I, I, I… I, I. I like you very much…." Again the repeated motif of I. The power of the individual destroys the monsters: Rover and the bomb. By being an individual, he proves himself "a man equipped to lead us or go." And by going, he shows us the way.
The mind game could be more insidious than we imagined. Allow me to demonstrate something anecdotally:
"I'd like to buy one jackass." This phrase might be stated by a farmer trying to obtain a beast of burden.
"I'd like to buy one, jackass." This sounds like someone asking to buy an item from someone they do not particularly like.
"Who is number 1?" "You are number 6!" This illustrates that the person responding is not acknowledging the question.
But behold the power of the comma.
"Who is number 1?" "You are, number 6!" The answer was in front of us the whole time as it is for #6 and it points to subject C being the most plausible solution to me! Who is in charge of his own life, from the very start? Only he, himself. The "I" of the series. Only when he recognizes this, does he escape and go back to his life. The hearse, his constant pursuer, drives by and leaves him alone. (Perhaps a representation of the fear of death being finally overcome? If it's a real world scenario, that fear could be driven by his knowledge of the bomb that cannot be beaten that he has learned about in his position holding international state secrets. If the alien option, he has defeated his masters and moved on, and those in the hearse can do nothing more to him.) He has returned home to 1 Buckingham Place, the butler approaches the door and it opens automatically. And then #6 starts the whole cycle again… Prisoner of society? Or his own psyche???? Or perhaps Prisoner no more, he can now do what he set out to do from the very beginning. He gets to work!
There are too many little gems in this story to ignore.
First, this is by far the most musical episode to date. The instrumental pieces are top notch. The choice of All You Need is Love for the revolution is brilliant. Dem Bones is inspired as it animates the dead. Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor catches the eeriness of what is going on in the cave when #6 kicks off the end of (Village) days. Even Carmen Miranda's I Yi, Yi, Yi, Like You Very Much, bizarre as it is, is apt, given the repeat motif of I.
I couldn't speak of it last week in Once Upon a Time because the question I raised of #2 is not answered until Fallout. He says he is a good man then corrects himself, "I was a good man…" Why was? Because, like #6, he too was abducted and brought to the village but unlike #6, he joined this new power. What is interesting is that this is the very thing that put him in charge of the Village "second only, to one!" Yet they are condemning him for it, probably because he gave up what secrets he had. "What is deplorable is that I resisted for so short a time." Had he resisted, they would have had even more respect for him. Perhaps he stopped short of achieving individuality… or freedom from an alien control.
Lastly, it has got to be said that Leo McKern's laugh, especially on a loop is utterly addictive and wonderful. That can exist in our word, an alien world, or in our psyche's, and I will always laugh with him.
This has been one of the hardest articles I've ever written for the blog. (One might call this a blog slog!) There is so much to be said about this amazing piece of television history yet to write about it is challenging, as it loops back on itself like an evil mobius strip. I hope I did it justice. Now complete, I stand with arms open wide, clean shaven and announce to no one in particular… "I FEEL A NEW MAN!"
(And then I realize that the lack of the word "like" can be misinterpreted and feel awkward, so I go back to my cave to start all over again!)
Be seeing you, ML!

4 Responses to The Prisoner: Fall Out
Patrick McGoohan's vision for The Prisoner is that we are the creators of our own realities and the masters of our own destinies. That's how he attains his freedom. We see this optimistic message all the time now from David Icke to Gregg Braden. The science of quantum physics can support it and Uell Stanley Andersen's "Three Magic Words" can support it. So if McGoohan himself was an authority on this subject and the first to really tackle the subject with the tools of science-fiction, it's all the more rewarding for Fall Out in retrospect.
For me, one other fictional prison escapee who must've uniquely mastered the Laws of Attraction and Intention was The Shawshank Redemption's Andy Dufresne.
Thank you both, RP and ML, for all your Prisoner reviews. I'm glad that Big Finish has included a Prisoner reinvention in all its homages to British SF.
Thank you too, Patrick, for The Prisoner.
The continual question presented by such pivotal SF like The Prisoner and The Matrix is: "What truly is freedom?" We may often see it optimistic achievable in Dr. Who, Star Trek and Star Wars. We may occasionally see it on the more ambiguous end of the spectrum and, certainly with the Blade Runner films, to the point where our very identities may feel just as ambiguous. So in that sense, it's understandably easy to imagine that #6's grand finale of escaping the village may be the most questionable element of The Prisoner. So it's when we truly see the bars, quoting David Icke, that we're all clear-headed enough to start contemplating what to do about it.
And in all fairness, life feels freer, particularly for the freedom to think, when it's more questionable.
