ABSTRACT: Bowhead whale Balaena mysticetus progesterone concentrations were measured in different sample matrices (serum, blubber, and urine) to investigate (1) concordance among sample type and (2) variation among life-history class. Samples were collected from subsistence-hunted whales (n = 86) taken from 1999 to 2009. In general, irrespective of sample matrix, pregnant females had the highest concentrations by orders of magnitude, followed by mature animals of both sexes, and subadults had the lowest concentrations. Subadult males and females had similar progesterone concentrations in all sample matrices measured. When pregnant animals were included in our analyses, permuted regression models indicated a strong positive relationship between serum and blubber progesterone levels (r2 = 0.894, p = 0.0002). When pregnant animals were not included, we found no significant relationship between serum and blubber levels (r2 = 0.025, p = 0.224). These results suggest that progesterone concentrations are mirrored in these sample types over longer periods (i.e. on the order of weeks to months, time frame of reproductive changes) but not shorter periods (i.e. on the order of hours to days, time frame of daily fluctuations). This conclusion is consistent even for progesterone concentrations measured in females that had recently changed pregnancy states (either new mothers or newly pregnant animals), for which blubber progesterone levels seem to lag those in the serum. Finally, urine progesterone had statistically significant positive relationships with serum (r2 = 0.136, p = 0.0460) and blubber progesterone (r2 = 0.150, p = 0.0421). Our results suggest that progesterone concentrations first peak in the serum, then in the urine, and finally in the blubber.


More than 200 Met Police officers have taken part in a simulated terrorist attack on the River Thames in London.
Half a dozen "terrorists" hijacked a pleasure craft heading towards London from Kent taking dozens of people hostage in the Met's first big training operation on water.
The boat was intercepted by firearms officers near the Isle of Dogs.
The Met said the exercise was not in response to any specific threat to the river or the capital.
Just after 11:00 GMT, elite police marksmen in two small boats drew alongside the "highjacked" vessel, opened fire, boarded the craft and "neutralised" the threat.
Cdr BJ Harrington, the officer in charge of the operation, said the aim was to test the capability of many parts of the Met and other emergency services while operating in a "dangerous working environment" on the Thames.
"We want to make sure we're all working together so that London's got a really good response should this terrible incident happen," he said.
A report last year, found security measures on the river Thames needed to be strengthened.
The report's author Lord Harris called for "a comprehensive review of safety and security on the River, commissioned by the Mayor, to report by May 2017."
The exercise started just after 09:00 GMT and was expected to last a couple of hours.
Officers taking part had not been told what the nature of the simulated attack would be.
The Metropolitan Police tweeted a training exercise was under way and that people should not be alarmed.
Teams from the Met's specialist firearms unit SCO19, the Marine Policing Unit and the Dog Support Unit were all involved.
Other agencies including the Port of London Authority, Maritime and Coastguard Agency, RNLI, London Fire Brigade and London Ambulance also took part.
In June 2015, more than a thousand police officers and soldiers took part in Operation Strong Tower which simulated a terrorist firearms attack in central London.
The threat level in the UK has been rated "severe" - meaning an attack is highly likely - since August 2014.
On the 10th anniversary of the 2005 London bombings, the country's top counterterrorism officer told the BBC about 50 plots had been thwarted since the 7/7 attacks.

L'animus est, pour le psychiatre suisse Carl Gustav Jung, créateur de la psychologie analytique, la part masculine de la femme. Il s'agit d'un archétype, donc d'une formation de l'inconscient collectif, qui a son pendant chez l'homme : l'anima. Cet archétype se manifeste tout au long de la vie, projeté inconsciemment, d'abord sur le parent du sexe opposé, puis sur les personnes rencontrées auxquelles sont alors prêtées les caractéristiques de cette image.

Définition en psychologie analytique
Pour certaines femmes, parler ou parfois simplement évoquer le concept d'animus peut être « insupportable en elle » tout comme lorsque l'on parle à un macho de sa féminité ou de son anima. Pour ainsi dire l'animus pose problème à l'animus car il n'y a pas socialement d'idée préconçue sur l'animus ; il oblige la femme à entrer dans un dialogue vrai ou dans un véritable travail sur elle-même. L'animus, quand il se manifeste, apparaît souvent comme antagoniste dans les rêves et les fantasmes sous les traits d'un homme séducteur ou diabolique, macho ou violeur, qui est porteur de valeurs masculines souvent très éloignées des valeurs féminines conscientes de la rêveuse. C'est au cours du processus d'individuation, souvent dans la seconde moitié de sa vie, que la femme se trouve confrontée à cette figure de son inconscient. Elle est obligée de quitter les discours pré-conçus (idéologie, opinions formatées) pour en chercher la source en elle-même.Carl Gustav Jung explique :

Les figures masculines de la catégorie de l'animus jouent le même rôle chez la femme que celle de l'anima chez l'homme. C'est pourquoi on la nomme la part masculine de la femme. Le processus d'individuation et l'acceptation de cet état de fait, aussi difficile pour la femme que pour l'homme, conduit aussi a un aboutissement de réalisation de soi par le processus d'individuation. De la même manière une rencontre a finalement lieu, mais avec l'homme sage.

D'après Elysabeth Leblanc dans son ouvrage La psychanalyse jungienne, l'Animus, comme l'Anima, comporte de stades selon le niveau psycho-affectif de la femme. Constituant l'animus, la part masculine de la femme, on peut trouver :

  : homme primitif  - par exemple Tarzan, l'athlète, Dionysos
  : homme d'action - Par exemple : Indiana Jones, un militaire ou un guerrier.
  : homme séducteur - Par exemple Don Juan
  : homme sage - Par exemple un dieu père, un guide.... l'animus est aussi un être créateur, une matrice, non pas dans le sens de la créativité masculine, mais dans le sens qu'il crée quelque chose que l'on pourrait appeler un logos spermatikos - un verbe fécondant. De même que l'homme laisse sourdre son œuvre, telle une créature dans sa totalité, à partir de son monde intérieur féminin, de même le monde intérieur masculin de la femme apporte des germes créateurs qui sont en état de faire fructifier le côté féminin de l'homme. C'est là l'origine de la "femme inspiratrice" qui, si elle est mal formée, recèle aussi en elle la possibilité de devenir la pire des viragos

Animus : L'intérêt du dialogue avec son masculin pour la femme

Des auteur(e)s, tels qu'Eliane Jung-Fliegans, invitent les femmes à découvrir leur animus (part masculine) mais aussi leur propre violence :

  La femme doit veiller sur son animus, sur sa nature. Si elle prend conscience de ses aspects négatifs et de l'influence qu'il exerce sur elle, elle peut affronter sa réalité au lieu d'en être possédée. L'animus devient alors un compagnon intérieur qui transmet les qualités masculines d'initiative, de courage, d'objectivité et de sagesse spirituelle.

Pour cela, explique-t-elle, il faut se connaître et se prendre en charge faute de quoi :

Pour ne pas bouger nos croyances sommes-nous condamnés à la « guerre des sexes » réponse automatique à l'inacceptable différence<ref>Eliane Jung-Fliegans, in "Violence au féminin et sexualité</ref>?

Pour donner du sens et devenir plus mature, la théorie jungienne préconise le dialogue intérieur:

Il faut se cultiver dans l'art de se parler à soi-même, au sein de l'affect, et d'utiliser celui-ci, en tant que cadre de dialogue, comme si l'affect était précisément un interlocuteur qu'il faut laisser se manifester, en faisant abstraction de tout esprit critique...

Mais pourquoi la femme devrait elle entrer en dialogue avec cette part d'elle-même ?

 La technique de la confrontation entre le Moi conscient et l'animus est, dans son principe, la même que dans le cas de l'anima, avec cette différence toutefois que ce ne sont plus des fantasmes et des caprices, mais des opinions que la femme doit considérer d'un œil critique, non, certes, pour les refouler, mais pour étudier leurs origines afin de pénétrer dans leurs arrière-plans obscurs, arrière-plans où elle rencontrera leurs images originelles, de façon tout à fait parallèle à ce qui se passe chez l'homme dans sa confrontation avec l'anima.

Animus : Quand le masculin de la femme libère la femme vraie.
Parmi les continuateurs récents, avec son concept de "femme sauvage", il y a Clarissa Pinkola Estés. Elle met à jour une restitution des plus novatrices de la psyché féminine à notre époque. La "femme sauvage" étant la femme qui, en paix avec son animus (le masculin de la femme), aurait réussi à se libérer et à faire "jaillir" naturellement la force et la puissance intérieure et profonde de femme.

 Chaque femme porte en elle une force naturelle riche de dons créateurs, de bons instincts et d'un savoir immémorial. Chaque femme a en elle la Femme Sauvage. Mais la Femme Sauvage, comme la nature sauvage, est victime de la civilisation. La société, la culture la traquent, la capturent, la musellent, afin qu'elle entre dans le moule réducteur des rôles qui lui sont assignés et ne puisse entendre la voix généreuse issue de son âme profonde.

Ce n'est qu'après avoir compris le versant masculin que possède chaque femme, après l'avoir accepté, et en le dépassant (la femme quitte par exemple une guerre intellectuelle qu'elle mène depuis l'enfance) qu'elle devient femme pour de vrai par un processus d'individuation.

Pourtant, si éloignés que nous soyons de la Femme Sauvage, notre nature instinctuelle, nous sentons sa présence. Nous la rencontrons dans nos rêves, dans notre psyché. Nous entendons son appel. C'est à nous d'y répondre, de retourner vers elle dont nous avons, au fond de nous-mêmes, tant envie et tant besoin. […] La femme qui récupère sa nature sauvage est comme les loups. Elle court, danse, hurle avec eux. Elle est débordante de vitalité, de créativité, bien dans son corps, vibrante d'âme, donneuse de vie. Il ne tient qu'à nous d'être cette femme-là.

Clarissa Pinkola Estés montre la voie pour chaque femme, à se découvrir et à découvrir une voie en elle qui propose finalement un dépassement. Elle invite à la découverte de cette partie de l'être féminin propre à chaque femme mais cette invitation n'est pas juste une connaissance intellectuelle de plus, sur l'existence d'un concept ou des termes « femme sauvage », mais une entrée dans un cheminement afin d'avoir conscience et de ressentir cette force intérieure et cet état d'être, que toute femme peut ressentir après un long et difficile cheminement.

Elles peuvent y être aidées lors d'une psychothérapie avec un(e) psychothérapeute compétent(e), ayant lui(elle)-même pu le vivre par une approche issue de la psychologie analytique. Ces retrouvailles avec le masculin peuvent se faire même si on a été blessé (fût-ce par un ou des hommes) :

Car dit-elle :Les loups, même malades, même acculés, même seuls ou effrayés, vont de l'avant. […] Ils donneront toutes leurs forces pour se traîner si nécessaire d'un endroit à l'autre, jusqu'à ce qu'ils aient trouvé un bon endroit pour guérir et pour revivre. La nature sauvage va de l'avant. Elle persévère.

Traits de caractère (généraux) de l'animus

Introduction aux traits généraux
Les textes de la psychologie analytique permettent une « découverte de l'âme » c'est-à-dire qu'elle permet une approche et donne des informations générales. Par exemple elle répond à la question, « qu'est-ce-que l'âme des femmes ? ». Mais cette approche invite à une « découverte de notre âme (personnelle) ».

En plus des textes qui nous apprennent ce que serait l'âme humaine, cette psychologie-là nous invite à découvrir la nôtre. Cette démarche, beaucoup plus courageuse que la simple lecture de texte sur l'âme humaine, se fait par l'analyse car on se heurte parfois à la part d'ombre (concept) qui est en nous-mêmes. Si on entre dans une vraie démarche de travail sur soi, on peut alors entrer dans un développement personnel plus sincère.

Contrairement à l'opinion (souvent de l'animus), la simple approche intellectuelle (lecture) des traits de caractère de l'animus ne constitue par un processus d'individuation ni de maturation de la femme. Néanmoins les textes jungiens nous livrent les caractéristiques les plus présentes dans l'animus de la femme et peuvent faire accéder certaines femmes à une sensibilisation d'elle-même. L'animus est comme « une assemblée de pères », il se comporte comme « une somme d'opinion », comme « un homme créateur dans la femme ».

Animus : une assemblée de pères
L'animus est quelque chose comme une assemblée de pères ou d'autres porteurs de l'autorité, qui tiennent des conciliabules et qui émettent ex cathedra des jugements « raisonnables » inattaquables. Mais, à y regarder de plus près, ces jugements prétentieux sont pour l'essentiel un amoncellement de mots et d'opinions qui se sont accumulés dans l'esprit de la petite fille, puis de l'adolescente depuis l'enfance, et qui, recueillis, choisis et collectionnés peut-être inconsciemment, finissent par former un canon, une espèce de code de vérités banales, de raisons et de choses « comme il faut ». Cette codification du raisonnable correspond donc à une réserve de préjugés ; et dès qu'un jugement conscient, compétent et valable manque (ce qui, dans les complications de la vie, est souvent le cas), il y est fait appel comme à un arsenal inépuisable d'opinions disparates où l'on trouvera celle qui semblera convenir à la situation donnée. Ces opinions apparaîtront, tantôt sous forme de ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler le bon sens, tantôt sous forme de principes, emblèmes de l'éducation reçue. Et la femme dira par exemple : « C'est ainsi que cela s'est fait depuis toujours », ou encore : « Mais tout le monde dit que...»

 Les opinions de l'animus Les opinions de l'animus ont très souvent le caractère de convictions solides, qui ne sont pas faciles à ébranler, ou de principes d'allure intouchable, de valeur apparemment infaillible. Si nous soumettons ces opinions à l'analyse, nous nous heurtons tout d'abord aux préjugés inconscients qui les motivent et qu'il nous faut inférer : je veux dire que la femme sent et pense les opinions acerbes qu'elle émet comme si ces préjugés existaient réellement. En réalité, ces opinions ne sont ni motivées, ni le fruit d'un acte de pensée; elles existent toutes faites, comme préfabriquées et prêtes à la consommation ; elles sont présentes dans l'être mental de la femme, qui les formule et les répète parce qu'elles ont dans son esprit un tel caractère de réalité et un telle force de conviction immédiate qu'elle n'est même pas effleurée par l'idée de les soumettre à la possibilité d'un simple doute.<ref> C.G. Jung " Dialectique du moi et de l'inconscient ", Idées / Gallimard, 1973 p 181.</ref>

Projections de l'animus
Les hommes sur qui l'animus est le plus susceptible de se projeter, les plus aptes par suite à servir de réceptacle à la projection de l'animus, devront être d'un genre tel que la femme en mal de projection puisse y voir une réédition vivante du Bon Dieu, des hommes qui savent tout, qui comprennent tout ; ou bien il s'agira de novateurs méconnus, disposant de grands charmes rhétoriques où l'humain trop humain ne s'entrelacera que trop fréquemment avec une terminologie pompeuse, du genre « du vécu créateur ».
Car ce serait en effet caractériser insuffisamment l'animus que de n'y voir qu'une manière de conscience collective conservatrice : l'animus est aussi un novateur qui, tout à l'opposé de ses opinions codifiées par l'usage, témoigne d'une incroyable faiblesse pour les termes inconnus et difficilement compréhensibles, pour les « grands mots.

Jude Bellingham's hometown proud of the lad who practised so much he wore the grass out
Zoe Tidman
25 November 2022, 2:25 am ·4-min read
As England's teenage football hero Jude Bellingham returns to the pitch in Qatar on Friday, friends and neighbours in his hometown of Stourbridge in the West Midlands are bursting with pride.
And none more so than his former primary school caretaker, who used to fetch the player's lost ball down from the roof when he was a boy.
"It seemed to be a daily occurrence," Mark Williams tells The Independent. "You could tell then he was quite a good little footballer and he was destined to be."
"He did seem to do that more than any other child. It became a joke. Every day the ladders were out. I kept them on standby because of that reason."
He adds: "He was a very pleasant lad. He always asked you to get the ball down nicely."
Bellingham, 19, scored the opening goal for England as the team kicked off the Qatar World Cup with a 6-2 win against Iran this week.
This made the midfielder only the second teenager – after Michael Owen – to score for the Three Lions at a World Cup.
Bellingham grew up in Hagley, a village near Stourbridge. He now lives in Germany, where he plays for Borussia Dortmund.
Back in the West Midlands, former neighbours, teachers and sports coaches remember him as a youngster always with his football.
"They used to set up the goals, put the cones down and play day and night," one man tells The Independent.

He also remembers what the small patch of grass down the road near Stourbridge, West Midlands, would look like afterwards.
There would be "big bare patches" left behind, the former neighbour, who did not want to be named, says.
Sarah, who lives on the same quiet residential street where Bellingham's family used to live, remembers him as a boy "knocking on the door and wanting to play football" with her son. "He was always with his brother. They were always together," she adds.

Another woman says Bellingham's father, a retired police officer, was always "playing around with the ball" with him.
"He didn't do anything else but play football," another neighbour says about a young Bellingham.
His former year 2 teacher agrees. "He was just really a lovely lad. Really genuine. Really personable. Extremely courteous and polite," Suzanne Shackleton, who also used to work at Hagley Primary School, tells The Independent.
"He was really dedicated to everything he did, not just his sport and football. Across all areas of the curriculum he was well-motivated and tried hard with everything he did."

Again, she remembers a lot of football. "You'd see him every playtime, lunchtime, playing football out on the playground with his friends."
Mark Baker taught Bellingham cricket for a short spell while the teenager was already playing football at Birmingham City academy.
"He came in and tried to bowl quick and tried to hit the ball miles without really having played," he tells The Independent, calling him a "raw talent". He remembers the boy once diving to catch a ball in the air that most would not have bothered with.
Bellingham may now be in Qatar for the World Cup and living in Germany – but his success still means a lot to the people of Stourbridge.
A mural even popped up to the 19-year-old footballer outside a shopping centre next to a WHSmiths in the town earlier this year.

Clive Bucknall says he is "very pleased" to see the teenager in the England World Cup squad.
"I think most football fans in the Midlands will appreciate he is a local lad. We don't get many," the 75-year-old adds.
Lee Newman, who runs a record store in the town centre, says he believes Bellingham is on track to be the "biggest footballer in the world... which is amazing, considering he is from Stourbridge."
Lee Newman says everyone from Stourbridge is proud of Bellingham (Zoe Tidman/The Independent)
"Everyone feels really proud of him, even though we don't know him," the 36-year-old says. "It's been a long time since I think Stourbridge has anybody of that level, even on a national level. This guy is full on worldwide."
Manchester United legend Duncan Edwards, from nearby Dudley in the Black Country, tragically died in the Munich air disaster in 1958.
"That guy's got a road named after him and everything," Mr Newman from Record Culture says. "At some point, you're going to have to name the ring road after Jude Bellingham or something like that."

Coffee is a brewed drink prepared from roasted coffee beans, the seeds of berries from certain Coffea species. The genus Coffea is native to tropical Africa (specifically having its origin in Ethiopia and Sudan) and Madagascar, the Comoros, Mauritius, and Réunion in the Indian Ocean. Coffee plants are now cultivated in over 70 countries, primarily in the equatorial regions of the Americas, Southeast Asia, Indian subcontinent, and Africa. The two most commonly grown are C. arabica and C. robusta. Once ripe, coffee berries are picked, processed, and dried. Dried coffee seeds (referred to as "beans") are roasted to varying degrees, depending on the desired flavor. Roasted beans are ground and then brewed with near-boiling water to produce the beverage known as coffee.
Coffee is darkly colored, bitter, slightly acidic and has a stimulating effect in humans, primarily due to its caffeine content. It is one of the most popular drinks in the world, and it can be prepared and presented in a variety of ways (e.g., espresso, French press, café latte). It is usually served hot, although iced coffee is a popular alternative. Clinical studies indicate that moderate coffee consumption is benign or mildly beneficial in healthy adults, with continuing research on whether long-term consumption lowers the risk of some diseases, although those long-term studies are of generally poor quality.
The earliest credible evidence of coffee-drinking appears in modern-day Yemen in southern Arabia in the middle of the 15th century in Sufi shrines. It was here in Arabia that coffee seeds were first roasted and brewed in a similar way to how it is now prepared. But the coffee seeds had to be first exported from East Africa to Yemen, as the Coffea arabica plant is thought to have been indigenous to the former. Yemeni traders took coffee back to their homeland and began to cultivate the seed. By the 16th century, the drink had reached Persia, Turkey, and North Africa. From there, it spread to Europe and the rest of the world.
As of 2016, Brazil was the leading grower of coffee beans, producing one-third of the world total. Coffee is a major export commodity, being the top legal agricultural export for numerous countries. Not in citation given] It is one of the most valuable commodities exported by developing countries. Green, unroasted coffee is one of the most traded agricultural commodities in the world. Some controversy has been associated with coffee cultivation and the way developed countries trade with developing nations, as well as the impact on the environment with regards to the clearing of land for coffee-growing and water use. Consequently, the markets for fair trade and organic coffee are expanding, notably in the USA.

Brazil says US gave 'ultimatum' over steel, aluminum tariffs
Brasília (AFP) –
Brazil said Thursday it has been forced to accept either tariffs or quotas by the US, despite what Washington described as a preliminary deal to resolve a dispute over US tariffs on steel and aluminum.
Brazil was one of several countries, along with the European Union, threatened with tariffs of 25 percent on steel imports to the United States and 10 percent on aluminum.
However, on May 1 the Trump administration held off on imposing the measures against Canada, Mexico and the EU, giving them a 30 day reprieve. It also said that it had "agreements in principle" with Argentina, Australia and Brazil that would be finalized "shortly."
But Brazilian officials say that agreement was one-sided.
A Brazilian government source told AFP on Thursday that the move was an "ultimatum."
"US authorities announced the decision to interrupt the negotiating process and to apply immediately to Brazil the additional tariffs that were temporarily suspended or, alternatively and without any possibility of further negotiation, unilateral restrictive quotas," the ministry of industry said in a statement on Wednesday.
A spokesman for the industry ministry said Thursday in an email that "the Brazilian government understands that negotiations ended," adding that Brasilia "remains open for dialogue."
The government says that the aluminum sector has now decided to accept the 10 percent tariffs, while the steel sector is opting for quotas, which are seen as less damaging than the 25 percent tariff.
Brazil accounts for about 14 percent of US steel imports, while the US market accounted for 32.9 percent of all Brazil's steel exports last year, the Brazilian government says.

On July 20, four days after federal troops put down the 1863 Draft Riot, a group of Wall Street businessmen formed a committee to aid New York's devastated black community. The Committee of Merchants for the Relief of Colored People Suffering from the Late Riots gathered and distributed funds, and collected the following testimony.
This young man who was murdered by the mob on the corner of Twenty-seventh St., and Seventh avenue, was a quiet, inoffensive man, 23 years of age, of unexceptionable character, and a member of the Zion African Church in this city. Although a cripple, he earned a living for himself and his mother by serving a gentleman in the capacity of a coachman. A short time previous to the assault upon his person he called upon his mother to see if anything could be done by him for her safety. The old lady, who is noted for her piety and her Christian deportment, said she considered herself perfectly safe; but if her time to die had come, she was ready to die. Her son then knelt down by her side, and implored the protection of Heaven in behalf of his mother. The old lady was affected to tears, and said to our informant that it seemed to her that good angels were present in the room. Scarcely had the supplicant risen from his knees, when the mob broke down the door, seized him, beat him over the head and face with fists and clubs, and then hanged him in the presence of his mother.
Died July 16th, from injuries received at the hands of the rioters on the 15th of July. Mrs. Statts, his mother, tells this story: At 3 o'clock of that day the mob arrived and immediately commenced an attack with terrific yells, and a shower of stones and bricks, upon the house. In the next room to where I was sitting was a poor woman, who had been confined with a child on Sunday, three days previous. Some of the rioters broke through the front door with pick axes, and came rushing into the room.... Knowing that their rate was chiefly directed against men, I hid my son behind me and ran with him through the back door, down into the basement. In a few minutes streams of water came pouring down into the basement, the mob had cut the Croton [city] water-pipes with their axes. Fearing we should be drowned in the cellar, (there were ten of us, mostly women and children, there) I took my boy and flewout to the rear of the yard, hoping to escape with him through an open lot into 29th street; but here, to our horror and dismay, we met the mob again; I, with my son, had climbed the fence, but the sight of those maddened demons so affected me that I fell back, fainting, into the yard; my son jumped down from the fence to pick me up, and a dozen of the rioters came leaping over the fence after him. As they surrounded us my son exclaimed, "save my mother, gentlemen, if you kill me." "Well, we will kill you," they answered; and with that two ruffians seized him, each taking hold of an arm, while a third, armed with a crow-bar, calling upon them to stand and hold his arms apart, deliberately struck him a heavy blow over the head, felling him, like a bullock, to the ground. (He died in the N.Y. hospital two days after.) I believe if I were to live a hundred years I would never forget that scene, or cease to hear the horrid voices of that demoniacal mob resounding in my ears. I, with several others, then ran to the 29th street Station House, but we were here refused admittance, and told by the Captain that we were frightened without cause. A gentleman who accompanied us told the Captain of the facts, but we were all turned away. I then went down to my husband's, in Broome Street, and there I encountered another mob, who, before I could escape commenced stoning me. They beat me severely.
I am a whitewasher by trade, and have worked, boy and man, in this city for sixty-three years. On Tuesday afternoon I was standing on the corner of Thirtieth street and Second avenue, when a crowd of young men came running along shouting. Almost before I knew of their intention, I was knocked down, kicked here and there, badgered and battered without mercy, until a cry of "the Peelers [police] are coming" was raised; and I was left almost senseless, with a broken arm and a face covered with blood, on the railroad track. I was helped home on a cart by the officers, who were very kind to me, and gave me some brandy before I got home. I entertain no malice and have no desire for revenge against these people. Why should they hurt me or my colored brethren? We are poor men like them; we work hard and get but little for it.

8th Year at Bataan Death March
Cadets from Robert Land Academy returned to New Mexico for the 26th Annual Bataan Memorial Death March. Four students and two staff took part in the 26.2 mile grueling march through the desert-like terrain of the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, USA, held March 22, 2015.
In 2008, Robert Land Academy was invited by the New Mexico National Guard to enter a team to participate in the Bataan Memorial Death March. This year marks the eight consecutive year that RLA has entered a team.
The Death March honours the many thousands of heroic United States service members who defended the islands of Luzon, Corregidor, and the harbour defence forts of the Philippines during World War II and who were later surrendered to Japanese forces in April 1942. During the Bataan Death March of World War Two, American POWs were marched for days in the scorching heat of the Philippine jungles. Thousands died, and those who survived faced hardships in Japanese POW camps.
This year, over 7,000 marchers and runners registered for the Death March, and organizers expect this number to continue to grow each year. Participants come from all 50 of the United States and over a dozen other countries, including Canada.
The RLA Cadets arrived in New Mexico a few days prior to the event to acclimatize to the 1,500 meter higher elevation, and to take in some of the local history and culture of the area.

News from Robert Land Academy


The Samsung Galaxy A9 has been awaited for a long time now.
It has been released at a part in China on Wednesday and will be available to the Chinese only from the following month. It is unclear as to when other places will receive the phone for sale.
Slim and elegant are two words that can be used to describe the Samsung Galaxy A9.
The device is one of the most powerful in the A series till date, and has come quite close to the Samsung Galaxy S series' big boys.
The casing is glass and metal and it is super slim, which is an impressive 0.29 inches thin design.
As per the previous rumors about this device, some of them have proved to be correct. To start with, the rumors pointing at the possibility of the device having a 6 inch screen have proved to be correct.
The Samsung Galaxy A9 has a 6 inches screen. This is laced with a 1080P resolution and is a super AMOLED display as always used by Samsung.
There has only been a slight growth in the screen size since the A8 which measured about 5.7 inches, but the response is expected to be great because not many Android phones in the market are that size now.
However, the screen size is not the only factor that would matter to many users – some have expressed discontent over the large size, that makes it tough to handle with one hand, especially for those with smaller hands.
An important fact that can be noted, however, is that the company has not compromised the battery with the screen size.
4,000mAh is a perfect choice for a screen this large and it is expected that the phone would last above a day with mixed usage.
Perhaps if it is connected to the internet the whole day the backup would be a little less than a day but it is expected to be better than most smartphones.
Under the bonnet, we can see the phone equipped with a Snapdragon 652 processor.
It is coupled with a 3GB RAM for better performance and 32GB of on board memory can be expanded by 128 GB vis SD card.
The sad part is that the phone comes with an Android Lollipop 5.1.1; users had expected at least Android Marshmallow on the same.
It comes with a fingerprint sensor and Samsung pay can be accessed through the phone.

Provincetown MA – Ten Things To Do
Post author By Duncan Roy
Provincetown, for those who have never been, is basically one long Victorian street… Commercial Street. Primarily an LGBT resort most everyone seems welcome here. At all times of night and day Commercial Street teems with pedestrians, bicycles and many dogs. Cars edge cautiously amongst the chaos. During the season (June-September) there are themed entertainment weeks (Saturday to Saturday) for gays, lesbians and trans visitors.
Near the Town Hall at town's center there are bars, candy stores and tourist favorites like The Lobster Pot serving lobster rolls and oysters. Provincetown has become an unlikely hen night/bachelorette party destination. Rowdy, drunk girls dressed in cheap veils patrol the streets screaming raucous songs and hitting men on the head with large dildos… true story. Drag queens, by the way, love dildos and hate Bachelorettes.
Commercial Street is divided into East and West Ends. It's probably best to work out which end is which within minutes of arriving here. So, facing from the bay where the ferry disgorged… the west will be to your left, the east to your right. I start my day, every day at 7am, after my beach walk with the dogs… unleashed, on the patio at:
1. Joe's
170 Commercial St, Provincetown, MA 02657 Phone: 508 487-6656
West End.
Delicious, fragrant coffee served by an attentive bunch who remember both your name and what you want. Joe's is a staple breakfast haunt for most of the cool 'townies' (locals). It's common to see straight-backed, imperious Andrew Sullivan arrive with his husband on their ancient dutch bikes or watch John Waters sail elegantly by dressed in Issy Miyake. Ryan Murphy and his adorable family chowing down on their morning baked goods.
Try the delicious, freshly baked almond croissant… but get there early to avoid disappointment.
A perfect place to eavesdrop! Who fucks who? Learn all the local gossip: "They bring their terrible taste from the suburbs…" A great way to start the day with everyone who works or lives in Provincetown… and a few tourists.
Meet this man drinking coffee and eating his breakfast:
2. Loveland
120 Commercial Street Provincetown, Massachusetts 02657 Phone: 508 413-9500
Run by Josh Patner ex Rome based fashion journalist and stylist, this charming haunt is brimming with local and international art. Possibly the chicest most eclectic store in town. Beware! By August almost everything has been sold. Look out for beautiful and reasonably priced ceramics by: Gail S. Browne.
I bought a beautiful vase by Gail Browne and a gorgeous 18th Century throw.
3. Room 68
377 Commercial Street, Provincetown, MA 02657 Phone: 617-942-7425
Room 68 is Eric Portnoy's 21st century gift shop. Originally out of Boston's Jamaica Plain – 68 South Street, originating the store's name. Look for Debra Folz ingenious extending ash table and more of her award-winning work. For those drowning in bad art glass and cat portraits… Room 68 is a welcome high style lifeboat on the choppy sea of capey mediocrity – quite unlike any other found on Commercial Street… or on Cape Cod.
4. Canteen
225 Commercial Street, Provincetown, MA 02657 Phone: 508 487-3800
Opened in 2013 Canteen continues its stunning success. This charming restaurant is perfectly situated at the heart of Provincetown, offering a simple, unpretentious menu that capitalizes on local favorites like the ubiquitous Lobster Roll but served in a wholly original way. Like the interior of this nautical themed dining room the food is fresh, clean and authentic. The deep-fried smelt with tartar sauce are not everyone's cup of tea… but I love them. Order everything with re-fried Brussels sprouts doused in an aromatic balsamic reduction and remember to sit in the newly opened garden overlooking the dunes and the spectacular sunset.
5. Red Inn
15 Commercial St, Provincetown, MA 02657 Phone: 508 487-7334
Away from the madding Provincetown crowd, either a 30 minute walk or a ten minute rickshaw ride is the legendary Red Inn. Consistency, taste and prompt service make this elegant venue an essential but expensive must see. Last night we ate perfectly prepared filet mignon, served by delightfully charming staff at the bar over looking the spectacular bay. Older bearded gay men with their well behaved hounds sit on the terrace and drink cocktails. One eats reasonably priced oysters during happy hour (4pm-5pm) or lounge in the very British country garden: lavender, roses and sweet-william perfume the early evening breeze.
6. Mimere's Homemade
281 Commercial Street #4, Provincetown, MA 02657 Phone: 917 670-7561
Opened by ex-banker Andrew Hood just this year to sell his vast array of delicious home-made, seasonal jams and jellies using old-fashioned techniques. I bought 6 different flavors including hefeweizen (wheat beer and orange) and red onion preserve. The chunky peach jam is particularly delicious, slathered on crusty toast from the Pain D'Avignon French Bakery found at Provincetown Farmer's market held every Saturday by the Town Hall.
7. Provincetown Film Festival
Provincetown Town Hall, 260 Commercial Street, Provincetown, MA 02657 Phone: 508 487-7000
This years Provincetown Film Festival, hailed a huge success, attracting viewers from all over the world. I met women from Europe and a couple from Australia who coincided their holiday with the film festival. A well-organized and international feeling festival The Provincetown Film Festival grows in reputation every year. This year I saw Andrew Sullivan rip a new ass hole in the makers of the ghastly Chad Griffin propaganda film: The Case Against 8, at a festival breakfast. I couldn't think of a better way to spend $25.
As I left the breakfast feeling exhilarated, I bumped into a huge and handsome man, I said, "Did you see that! Andrew Sullivan is my hero!"
He replied, "Me too, that's why I married him."
8. Fag Bash at The Governor Bradford
312 Commercial St Provincetown, MA 02657
I've already written at length about this wonderful, subversive spectacle. A delightful Wednesday night basement party. Arrive at 11pm, leave at 1am. Wear your finest drag. I expect the ghost of Leigh Bowery to make an appearance at any moment. Remember, most everything closes at 1am in Ptown.
9. John Derian
396 Commercial Street Provincetown, MA 02657 Phone: 508 487-1362
The queen of decoupage Derian runs a tiny showroom a world away from his NYC empire. It is packed with essential nick nacks at the back of his Greek revival Ptown home. Black, $500 paper hollyhocks are not immediately alluring or justified… but… with time… anything is possible. I love the meat dolls by Nathalie Lete and the papier-mache hippo head. At night, as you pass by, envy his candle lit parties for Martha Stuart… and other gorgeous celebrities.
This boy will serve you. His name is Kevin and he is DIVINE.
10. Monument Barbershop
145 Commercial Street, Provincetown MA Phone: 508 487-5151
Once a week I drop into see the charming, flirtatious Joey to have my hair and beard trimmed. It's essential whenever you are anywhere for longer than a week to locate a great barber and Joey is he. Very reasonably priced, very funny and he's… totally gorgeous. In fact, I'm off there, right now to get my neck shaved.

1 Comment on Beige
Day after day the sun shines and the people shed their winter clothes revealing their creamy skin. The dog and I traverse the city, traveling from one exciting assignation to another. Yesterday was no exception.
I woke early helping Dan with his luggage. He is off to LA until Wednesday. I really don't like it when he leaves. We get closer and closer. He is kind, generous and appreciative. We are the same age. Our perspective is very similar.
I have been thinking a great deal about how I am going to spend the summer. I continue to write my film. Bumped into Paul Haggis yesterday who asked about my film. He loved the story…as most people do.
Remember holding his Oscar at the Crash party at the Chateau Marmont wishing it had been mine?
I couldn't go back to bed after Dan left so I walked the dog around the deserted East Village until I bumped into a young friend of mine. A yoga teacher. We drank coffee and ate pain au chocolate at Ost on Avenue A. He is the sweetest young man. Looks directly into your soul.
We are going to spend the day together tomorrow.
Met Lady Rizo for lunch (chopped salad) then we took a cab to my lawyer on Wall Street. Driving the West Side Highway we passed office workers taking their lunch walking the water front. A brief moment in the sun.
I had to sign a bunch of papers. I signed them whilst Rizo bought us ice creams. As we were in an unknown part of town we decided to explore and ended up in a tiny Italian Deli eating profiteroles and singing show tunes out loud. She has a hugely exciting gig in June. In the mean time come see her perform on May 20th at Joe's Pub.
Took Subway (I never do) back home and rested for an hour. Met Rizo's friend Gilly on the corner of Tenth and A just as a skateboarder was nearly run down in front of our very eyes. He escaped death by jumping over the hood of the car.
My second 'scene' for the 'A' List. Austin is throwing a 'party' at this cavernous restaurant called Almond. It seemed designed for me to explain why Derek Lloyd Saathoff had wanted me to be his 'Mister Big'.
I was uncharacteristically nervous meeting the other cast members. They are all very charming.
Obviously they have their on-screen personalities.
TJ is very ebullient when the cameras are on. Thrown directly into the 'A' List mix, TJ positioned me like an on set director and asked acerbic questions and about me and Derek. I came clean. He was quite strident. Off camera he is affectionate and warm. They all are.
Reichen Lehmkuhl seemed reticent and quiet. He has a troubled soul. Very beautiful, great story, gentle. I liked him. His brother lives very close to me in Malibu. I spent the most time chatting with him. We talked a great deal about how one can get ones needs met in a relationship. I told him The Penguin story as my very own reality cast member cautionary tale.
Crazed fans who think you are what you are not.
We talked about how we are edited, how one is perceived. The reality and the fantasy of ones on-screen and off-screen persona.
I really enjoyed meeting Ryan the salon owner. Blond, sweet-natured and very genuine.
This is their second season. They have become very adept performers.
I have no idea if I will ever see any of them ever again.
Stephen joined us and Rizo, Gilly and I ate dinner at Westville. I bought The Little Dog a chicken breast as he had been so good all day.
Tonight is the very last night of Beige the long running weekly party held at The Bowery Bar. It must be twenty years old. I went there first when I was still drinking so it must be ancient. Remember dragging Joe there? I think he enjoyed it despite his protestations. I will be there tonight if anyone wants to serve papers. Zach said, "Nobody gets laid at Beige." which was never my experience.
I have had amazing Tuesday nights on The Bowery with Boy George, Issie Blow and Leigh Bowery.
I remember staying at The Mercer and dragging a drunk straight boy back from Beige for oral gratification. Oh God, that was many years ago. I remember…do you?

So, all packed and moved out. I left the apartment empty and covered in dust. I have to go back tomorrow to collect deposit and hand over the wi-fi thingy. I am pleased not to be going back there.
When Jennie and I moved into The Chateau de Fleur we did so to escape the lives we had and wanted to change when we went into rehab. For Jennie it was the beginning of a life away from being a porn performer. For me it was to escape the exquisite monotony of Malibu, the pornography, the internet hook up sites and the gruelling symptoms of sex addiction.
Amazingly, for the longest time, I steered clear of the worst of my sex addict tendencies. Until, of course, I met Jake and collapsed..once again..into active addiction. As much as I try..I cannot forgive him. I was doing so well.
I tell you, I hate him now more than anyone I have ever been wronged by. More than the vile people who ran over The Darling Big Dog and more than I ever harboured for my step-father.
Masquerading as an innocent, timid boy JB knows exactly what he is doing. I would urge anyone that gets involved with him never, ever believe a word that comes out of that mouth. His lies are not even very amusing. An amusing liar, like Leigh Bowery or Diana Vreeland can enhance a dull world but a tepid, self-serving liar like Jake can only make the mediocre a paler shade of taupe.
The only good thing that came out of his mouth was my cock.
I though I might write about the day my dog was killed in front of that building, in front of me and the little dog..but I can't, not least because the memory of her written on the same page I write his name would sully the memory of her.
To think, he left his gf and flew to me. I tended him, looked after him, cooked for him, dabbed at his tears. I reassured him again and again that things would work out fine..and I am sure they will for the conniving little cunt.
Goodbye Hollywood. Hello New York City.
Letter from Susan:
I drove my father to the Stiperstones last Saturday – creamy golden late afternoon sunshine lighting all that hilly beauty – he was so happy. But all I could think of was the time we drove up there in his little Mini – I rammed the car off the road at a funny angle and we then draped ourselves around the seats and dashboard. Do you remember how much we laughed when people came to help and we woke up ? I still find it quite funny.
I do remember..and it was really funny.

Always There. Never Present
4 Comments on Always There. Never Present
Whitstable, that's where we grew up. The High Street, a shingle beach, abandoned oyster beds, abandoned boat yards.
I knew I wanted to make something. I never knew quite what. Writing, knitting, print-making, drawing, theatre, acting, fashion. Good… but never good enough. Wanting to be included but unwilling to participate. Confident to be part of what was going on but seldom sure. Always there, never present.
Had I been allowed, as planned, to go to St Martin's College of Art to study fashion I would have become a fashion designer. I still have note books crammed with crude fashion drawings and swatches of hideous fabric made when I was 8 years old. Each 'season' I would design a new collection and between 'collections' I would write and illustrate articles about the history of fashion.
An avid fashion commentator who had unwelcome, prepubescent opinions about everything. My damning critique of Princess Anne's 'boring' ivory duchess satin wedding dress in 1973 irritated my short-tempered, royalist Grandmother. "Look at those ghastly sleeves…"
I was an industrious child. At boarding school I excelled.
When I wasn't busily designing imaginary runway collections I worked hard remaking my life, a life I could control. A life reimagined included: a 30 page illustrated story about a happy family of mice. A precocious teenager at boarding school I spent months writing and rewriting rambling plays about unrequited love with other boys.
I saw my first proper play on a high school outing to Stoke on Trent. Bertolt Brecht's, The Caucasian Chalk Circle with Bob Hoskins. 1975. I was hooked.
Theatre! I must make theatre. The lights, the tension, the smell of the theatre. The warmth and silence of the audience, laughter erupting around me, muffled crying from the red velvet stalls.
Oddly, I had absolutely no great passion for film or television. Of course, I had seen many films but it wasn't a world that piqued my interest. I had a fondness for black and white Hollywood films from the 1940's (particularly musicals) that I would either watch on the television on my own or walk up Whitstable High Street to the cavernous Oxford Cinema.
I was inspired. Stealing an idea for my 'new collection', a sleeve or muff. I watched the credits roll: costume designer Edith Head… Funny Face. Adrian, who designed the costumes for The Wizard of Oz.
I'm 12 years old. I discover Marilyn Monroe without ever knowing she is already an established gay icon. The following year I insist that my parents buy me Norman Mailer's illustrated biography for Christmas.
Theatre and fashion people referenced film but nobody I knew would ever have thought about making one.
The years after I left Shotton Hall School in 1976, before I went to prison in 1983 were culturally the richest of my life. I scraped into Medway College of Art and Design with one 'O' level. I befriended punk rocker Billy Childish. I learned how to etch and screen print and draw. Punk was determining music fashion and graphics but scarcely impacted the institutionalized, established, sewn up world of British contemporary art. Britain would have to wait until 1989 until Michael Clark, Tilda Swinton and Leigh Bowery performed in the Anthony d'Offay Gallery.
Whilst at Medway, I saw a very ordinary man wearing a badly cut suit his tie askew commuting from London to Thanet holding a copy of The Sex Pistol's single God Save The Queen and nearly fainted in fear. I was wearing a pair of my mother's bottle green woolen tights. I wonder what he must have thought about me? He alighted at Rainham.
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeP220xx7Bs]
Unable to study fashion at St Martin's College as my garrulous stepfather refused to let me. I had to get a job. The job I was offered, selling clothes at Yves Saint Laurent on Bond Street, London became the beginning of what would turn out to be a great, although misguided, adventure. An adventure that would shape the rest of my life.
I met Lady Clare Rendlesham and within a few months I was in Paris pretending to be her son.
Clare Rendlesham and others
Along with changing my identity, in Paris I threw myself head long into the very accommodating worlds of fashion, performance art and theatre.
The land of sublime artifice.
During the pret-a-porter I would run with my friends through the streets of Paris from show to show. Although my time in Paris seems less, in retrospect, about theatre and more about fashion and art, I was introduced to Robert Wilson and members of his company, traveled to Holland to see Lucinda Childs in Dance with music by Phillip Glass and travelled more to see beautiful work by Pina Bausch.
Pina Bausch died this year.
I was one of the first people in Paris to wear a Walkman. I think I may still own that original item. Some rich friend of a rich friend left it at my place. He had bought it from Tokyo where he'd been modeling and never asked for it back. Suddenly I had my very own soundtrack. My life scored by Super Tramp. The optimistic opening bars of Take The Long Way Home soaring over the controversial rebuilding of Les Halles that seems only recently to have settled into its surroundings. Music altered my perception of where I was and how I experienced it. Paris was never so beautiful.
It was during this time in 1978, as a willowy teenager, I chanced upon Fred Hughes at John Jermyn's Rue de Bellechasse home. That beautifully, wonderfully decorated house… rococo monkeys fucking on the drawing-room walls painted by Harry Gromelion and acres of Fortuny silk.
Fred had been, the year I met him, diagnosed with MS and had become nihilistic and surly.
"When Fred got sick, he had to go to the American Hospital, and I decorated his room. I went to visit him, and brought pictures he liked, from his house and flowers…" Julian Schnabel
Fred, so reviled, cut a sad and lonely path through his own life ending up incapacitated and angry. At the end, surrounded in his Lexington Avenue home by the most beautiful things, nothing could placate him. His terrible Texan mother moved in to help, firing his loyal assistant. We never saw him again.
When I met Fred he had slicked back black hair and tailored suits, he lived in an apartment on the Rue du Cherche-Midi and was, to a provincial teenager, incredibly glamorous… a true dandy.
"It was I who found Fred Hughes his Paris apartment on the Rue du Cherche-Midi, where Warhol would stay." Pierre Berger
He liked me because he thought I was a British aristocrat. He was a terrible snob. Later, when he knew the truth, he would laugh and mock the moment we met and feign outrage. He only ever called me Anthony.
Fred took me to New York, bought me Vetiver and appropriate underwear, gave me drugs at Studio 54, lent me shirts that belonged to Farouk, the last King of Egypt. He wrapped me up in linen sheets and laughed at my jokes. Fred introduced me to Yves St-Laurent and his muse LouLou de la Falaise, Baron Eric De Rothschild, flame haired owner of Egoiste magazine Nicole Wisniak. I sat entranced by these people. Wearing clothes Fred had bought for me, a brand new name. Sloughing off the past… a past for which I had no need.
Perhaps we understood each other because we had both abandoned our past for a far more thrilling present. After his death he was described as 'a consummate liar, social climber, and a bespoke SOB who grew to total ghoulishness because of his connection to Andy Warhol.'
Isn't everyone a social climber of some kind… and why the hell not? It's galling to have Fred's memory so maligned. From what I saw he managed or rather… baby sat Andy Warhol, pulling him out of relative poverty, protecting him from the unworthiest.
Was that a lie? I really don't have a clue. As a teenager I thought he was just swell.
It is so sad to see him like this, stricken with MS:
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnA3MICxFqs]
This photograph is amusing. Tim Hunt, Princess Anne of Bavaria, Me and Alexis de Toqueville at Anne's apartment in Paris. Like so many beautiful young men from that time, Alexis would die of AIDS. Hid family refused to acknowledge his life as a gay man and his death as a gay man.
Samia Saouma's Gallery (another social hub as great galleries tend to be) I was introduced to the work of The Baron de Meyer, Man Ray and Joseph Kosuth. I followed the crowd and applauded the sparse and mannered work of Robert Wilson. We saw I Was Sitting on My Patio This Guy Appeared I Thought I Was Hallucinating and Death Destruction and Detroit.
In Paris I learned about artists and their power and prestige. Most of these men and women, invited to Europe during the late 70's early 80's, were American. Flooding the world with new ideas; polemical and challenging.
What happened to the arts? Even though British theatre seems to have maintained it's edge, British art has become increasingly bland and decorative. Says nothing of the war or the bloody peace.
Paris was just how Paris is meant to be: an education for a young man.
Before we leave Paris there was one sublime moment. It was a moment. We all need them. Romantic. I had been invited to the house of some elderly Duke. On an orange velvet wall hung a huge sunset by Turner. Surrounded by furniture, a light supper served in front of it. This is how art should be enjoyed. Domestically.
Returning to England I was given the telephone number of Erica Bolton by The Princess Anne of Bavaria. I met Erica at The Riverside Studios in Hammersmith, West London, where she worked as a publicist. My great love affair with the theatre began in earnest.
David Gothard Riverside Studios
Erica Bolton, in turn, introduced me to a community of successful writers and directors. Men and women who inspired me to make my own theatre, my own films, my own art.
I listened and learned.
Erica sneaks me into the theatre to see Kantor's sold out show Wielopole, Wielopole. I sit in the Gods looking down at syphilitic soldiers marching, wax figures strapped to the living, a monochrome set with Kantor in the middle of it all tweaking his memories and watching sadly as the dead come back to life.
It was triumphant, breathtaking theatre and in sharp contrast to the very British, academic work of Peter Gill (Cherry Orchard) who I met that year (1978) and his then assistant David Levaux the now hugely respected Broadway director.
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEB2jmYHVsA&feature=related]
There were so many exciting people to hang out with at The Riverside like the precocious Hanif Kureishi fresh from his triumphant stint at The Royal Court.
Pioneering David Gothard, the artistic director, the genius at the very heart of the Riverside Studios. Responsible for bringing Tadeusz Kantor, Miro, Shuji Tereyama and many others not only to Hammersmith but to the UK. Night after night we sat in the canteen drinking beer and smoking cigarettes. I loved every moment.
In 1979 I made my way to Paris to see Peter Brook's Bouffes du Nord. To Paris by boat and train to see Brook's Conference of the Birds. The raw brick walls and magnificent arches quite unlike any other performance space. I can't remember where I stayed that night. I was in heaven. I remember the Persian rugs on the floor, the chirping of the cast as they imitated different birds..a chorus… the dawn chorus.
I wanted to make theatre so badly. When I finally got around to it I made just one good work The Host. The other works (as it turned out) a preamble for my later film making and really not that good.
In 1981 I moved into a small flat in Furlong Road, Islington. The home of director Michael Darlow. The flat came with a job: nanny to their wayward 13-year-old adopted son. Wandering the streets I discovered the derelict Almeida Theatre where I would end up having my 22nd Birthday thrown by designer Scott Crolla. Furniture Designer Tom Dixon was our doorman. William Burroughs came.
'Come Dressed at Duncan Roy' the invitation demanded.
Here are Kadir Guirey and Tom Dixon in their band Funkapolitan…
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FExauuV3acA]
The Almeida Theatre, bought and renovated (Bouffe de Nord style) by Lebanese born Pierre Audi. I managed, by chance, to witness the birth of an institution. Even when derelict, Pierre used the space as a theatre. Amongst many, early notable Almeida productions I saw A Dybbuk For Two People with Bruce Myers and in 1982, at Saint James's Church, Chillingworth Road at the Almeida International Festival of Contemporary Music, John Cage at 70. Stunning.
Early 1983 I was arrested and imprisoned for running up a huge bill on my credit card. I spent the next ten months starved of theatre and art but found another altogether unexpected beauty.
I was 23. Prison, as I have said before, was beautiful.
People like Erica bid their adieu and I would never really see them again.
1983, months after I left Wormwood Scrubbs Prison I answered an advertisement in Time Out Magazine. Neil Bartlett was looking for performers to open his show PORNOGRAPHY, a Spectacle at the Institute of Contemporary Arts. It was a gruelling process, one I found particularly hard to get to grips with. Acting, as you may know, requires the performer to be real and at this time in my life I really had no idea how to do that at all.
As with my appearance in the 'A' list thirty years later, people mocked my decision to be in a gay play about sex and sexuality. Life is for the experience… isn't it? One grand adventure after another.
Pornography: A Spectacle. 1983/84 Actor
Institute of Contemporary Arts, London, 6 city UK tour, Poor Alex Theatre, Toronto, Canada
Devised with Ivan Cartwright, Neil Bartlett and Robin Whitmore
Robin, Ivan and Duncan in 'Pornography, a Spectacle'
"Pornography is quite wonderful, outrageous, intentionally shocking — but with real human beings stepping through the sensationalism at regular intervals to speak between the screams of cliché in normal conversational tones about who they are and how they really feel. The recurrent theme is one of intense pornographic description, which the actors suddenly stop, pause, and say, "of course that was merely a quotation," or "but it really wasn't like that." Sky Gilbert
The Critic by Sheridan: 1984 Actor – Mr. Puff
Edinburgh Festival
The Host: 1987 Writer/Director
Institute of Contemporary Art London and National Review of Live Art Glasgow with Georgia Byng and Tatiana Strauss
October Gallery
Bad Baby: 1989 Writer/Director
The Penny Theatre, Canterbury, Kent, Hen and Chickens Theatre, Islington North London
Using a cast of local Kent performers this play examined issues of child abuse using Beatrix Campbell's Unofficial Secrets as the basis of the text.
Marrianne Fearnside in Bad Baby
The Baron in the Trees: 1990 Writer/Director
Adapted from the Italo Calvino novel of the same name for The Penny Theatre, Canterbury, Kent
Copper's Bottom: 1991 Writer/Director
Sadler's Wells Theatre, starring Aiden Shaw
Call me Susan: 1993 Co-writer
Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh; Edinburgh Festival Fringe;
Call Me Susan explored issues surrounding prostitution across Europe. A dramatized discussion between two prostitutes interspersed with real-life recorded testimonies and pictures of prostitutes working in six European cities.

Measure #1: Proportion of healthcare providers who are electronically engaging in the following core domains of interoperable exchange of health information: sending, receiving, finding (querying), and integrating information received from outside sources.
Measure #2: Proportion of healthcare providers who report using the information they electronically receive from outside providers and sources for clinical decision-making.
The new metrics align with the goals of semantic interoperability, which is characterized by the ability of disparate IT systems to understand and query data, not just view and store it. They also underscore the need for data normalization strategies that lay the groundwork for information sharing that is understandable and meaningful to care delivery.
The reality is that most health systems manage dozens of clinical, claims, and administrative systems—all with their own inherent language. Semantic interoperability demands that all of these varying terminologies and custom or proprietary codes be normalized to an agreed standard accepted by systems communicating with each other. This way, data elements are represented the same way across disparate platforms. When this framework exists, healthcare organizations can address the "integration" needs of MACRA interoperability measure #1 and the goal of "using information for clinical decision-making" found in measure #2.
For many resource-strapped organizations, this strategy begins by leveraging the expertise of an industry partner and an advanced enterprise terminology management platform such as Health Language. By automating standard clinical terminology into healthcare software applications or data warehouses through real-time automapping and integration technologies, data can be safely exchanged and accurately analyzed.
The good news for providers on these newly introduced measures is that they will not require additional reporting. Data will be retrieved from existing national surveys of hospitals and office-based physicians, including the American Hospital Association's AHA Information Technology Supplement Survey and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Center for Health Statistics annual National Electronic Health Record Survey of office-based physicians.
Dr. Brian Levy, MD is Vice President and Chief Medical Officer with Health Language, part of Wolters Kluwer Health. He holds an MD and BS from the University of Michigan. Go Blue!

Q: How to block an IP address from a network share I have to share a set of .docx files from my computer. They are set so that administrators have full control over the shares, and "everyone" has access to read and execute them. I need to find a way to share them with everyone but a blacklist.
To make things more difficult, it has to be IP address, not usernames.
I don't know what other useful information you may need, but if it helps this is on a Windows 7 machine. Hopefully someone out there can help me.

A: Windows Security Model restricts access per-user, not per-IP. Basically, you can configure firewall options for File and Printer Sharing service to only permit certain IP communications, but this will restrict all the shares on this computer for that IP only. I wouldn't recommend blocking via IP since it could be spoof'd anyways. Here's a nifty link on Windows File Sharing;
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/share-files-and-folders-over-the-network-from-windows-vista-inside-out
"NTFS permissions apply to folders and files on an NTFS-formatted drive. They provide extremely granular control over an object."

A: Im not sure if I completely understand the requirements of your question, however look at the following:
Both Windows Sharing and Windows File Security have option to Allow and Deny access to a files and/or folders based on user names and/or computer names and/or Active Directory security groups.
So you can set the share/file security to allow Everyone, yet deny a list of computers.  This would be best accomplished in creating an AD security group with all the computers you want to deny.  Creating an AD security group is easier, as you want to reuse this group elsewhere.
Important note:  Deny always takes precedence over Allow

The Jimmy Stewart Story and the 703rd Squadron
James (Jimmy) Stewart (1908-1997) was a famous actor originally drafted by the Army in 1940, but was rejected because he was 5 pounds underweight. He did manage to gain weight and enlisted in the Air Corps in March 1941.
Although he enlisted as a private, he received a commission as a second lieutenant in January 1942. Additionally, he received a pilot rating, although the circumstances were unclear since he did not participate in the standard pilot training program and he was 6 years beyond aviation cadet training. Stewart was very worried that his celebrity status would prevent him from being assigned combat duties. Ultimately, though he was assigned as a commander of the 445th Bombardment Group.
In August 1943, Stewart was assigned to the 445th Bomb Group as operations officer of the 703rd Bombardment Squadron, but three weeks later was its commander. However, it was not until October 1943 that the 445th Bomb Group was transferred to Tibenham, Norfolk, England. After several weeks of training, the first combat mission over the U-boat facilities at Kiel, Germany.
By March 22, 1944, Stewart had flown his 12th combat mission and was leading the 2nd Bomb Wing in an attack on Berlin. It is recorded that every time he led the group no aircraft were lost.
Eight days later, he was transferred a different, higher unit. By May 1945, he succeeded to command of the 2nd Bomb Wing. He was one of the few Americans to rise from private to colonel in four years.
Stewart remained in the Air Force Reserve after the war and ultimately retired from the Air Force on May 31, 1968 with a rank of Brigadier General.
In 1975, Stewart visited Tibenham, England, and toured the runways. He had a nostalgic stroll around the derelict control tower and watched the gliders soaring overhead. He later boarded a glider for his first ever glider flight.
The time that Stewart was commanding the 703rd Bombardment Squadron did not overlap with the arrival of Maynard L. Jones and the rest of the Hautman crew. However, Maynard mentioned seeing 'Lt. Col. Jimmy Stewart' at a dance in his letter of July 9, 1944 and reported getting Stewart's autograph. Maynard also mentioned seeing Stewart some time later at the Officers' Club.
