American Psycho (2000): On-point to American Capitalism
Gregorius Kohar
American Psycho is a sharp, on-point social criticism of the capitalism world in 1980s that are still so relevant until now with a phenomenal performance from Christian Bale, even if the self-consciousness neglects the storytelling at some point.

"American Psycho" (2000) have many reasons to be deemed as a cult film. The film, adapted from an already controversial novel (written by Bret Easton Ellis), contains so many unnerving political and social satire and extreme unethical violence which polarized its audience and critics upon its release–supported, above all, by the character Patrick Bateman that managed to gain the audience's hearts to create a legacy of its own. A movie that audiences will either love or hate…but there's no denying that, in the hand of director Mary Harron, it falls into a filmmaking so skillfully crafted even with its flaws.
"American Psycho" is set in 1987 New York, focusing on a man named Patrick Bateman, a wealthy investment banking executive. While seemingly normal, he hides his alternate psychopathic ego from his co-workers and friends as he escalates deeper into his illogical, gratuitous fantasies. But as Patrick Bateman dive profoundly into his personality, director Harron instead directs the story more into Bateman exploration of himself, becoming a one-man show. The choice is more successful thanks to Christian Bale's psychotic performance that really defined him as one of the greatest actors working in this century.
The actors and actresses casted in "American Psycho" by no means gave amazing performances. Willem Defoe as Detective Donald Kimball is unnerving every time he appears. Jared Leto as Bateman's co-worker Paul Allen feels so quirky. Reese Witherspoon, Chloe Sevigny, Cara Seymour, you name it. But all of this is out shadowed by Bale's phenomenal performance. The way he talks is the person you never want to meet in your life, especially how his facial expression described his lunacy. But you can't glance your eyes off the screen every time Bale appears, having the charisma not to turn away. He just nails the character so perfect, and successfully portrays the metaphor of the high-class in America, if not the whole world.
Bateman itself is the mirror of capitalist society in the presidency of Ronald Reagan where materialism was regarded as a status, even card name. The scene where Bateman and his co-workers are showing-off their card names are a small, illogical yet perfect example. Added with swift cinematography and a cool slow-mo sound design, the scene just represents how as simple as a card name would indulge the human nature of greed. The card scenes are just one example, and the idealism of capitalism perception is seen throughout the entire film. From the beginning when Bateman explains the massive skincare routine to every reservation scene, it really does show how the moral and ethics are internally dying inside, waiting to manifest into reality soon.
Not just Bateman's character, but Harron also expresses the society as a whole that undoubtedly would be hard to write in the novel. Take the chainsaw scene for the example. It was masterfully shot with a tense atmosphere yet analyzing deeper into it, it strange that no one reacted to the chainsaw at all. This becomes evident that not only Bateman is a psycho, but the society as well, being too self-conscious and neglecting any social interaction. It's really harrowing. Added with the violent nature of the film, it could just simply categorized as pornography. However, Harron's decision on glamorizing Bateman's lifestyle changed the tone into more of a satirical black comedy rather than a slasher genre. It brings the theme to life so much until some parts of the story are just forsaken for being too overconfident in delivering the message.
Without diminishing the film quality, the satirical are very well thought that every scene in the film gave a representation of what the society had become. Especially the ending, where the criticism takes high with rational thinking, but becomes absurd with the storyline. The messages are flesh out, but the audience will take the hard turn to be difficult to process. The director had the intention of making the ending ambiguous. Even if it's well-intentioned, it just left the audience puzzled out so much for its self-assertive nature of the film.
In the end, however, it deserved the title of "cult". American Psycho had created a legacy on polarizing the audience that spans a lot of criticism of analysis, yet also being a cultural phenomenon thanks to Bale performance. A must-watch even with its flaws.

Hip, Hip, Hooray! New Joints Are Lasting Longer
Modern materials make for longer-lasting hip replacements, more activity for you.
Feeling a little stick in your shift? A bit of a snag in your shimmy? Or maybe just that annoying dull soreness mixed with some morning stiffness and an occasional jolt of pain.
Well, if your hips won't hula the way they once could, it may be time for a new one.
A tell-tale part
You might want to talk to an orthopedic surgeon if you notice any of these warning signs:
Regular or persistent pain
Aching during or after exercise
Loss of mobility, difficulty walking or climbing stairs
Stiffening after sitting or when you get out of bed in the morning
Basically, it comes down to wear and tear.
As my cousin, the physician's assistant, once said, "Your body's a machine. You use it long enough, some parts are going to wear out."
Luckily, your hip is one of the parts that can be replaced. And, thanks to steady advances in technology, an artificial hip should have you hopping for joy in no time – and jumping and running, too.
In fact, nowadays, says Dr. Victor Hernandez, an orthopedic surgeon with the UHealth Joint Replacement Program, you should be able to do anything after a hip replacement that you could do before.
"I allow my patients to do all kinds of sports, all kinds of activities," he says. "I want them to go back to normal life."
Modern materials used for artificial hip joints should last 20 or 25 years, he says. Or longer.
"But," he says, "it depends on the activity and the weight. The patient needs to be aware that the more active he is, the more weight the patient gains, the faster it's going to wear out."
High-impact sports like basketball or volleyball are going to take more of a toll, he says. But even then, the latest generation of artificial joint plastics should be good for a dozen years or more.
What he does recommend are regular follow-ups. That might mean getting an X-ray of the joint once every two or three years, or sooner, depending on what you do, and what he sees. If the plastic in the joint is wearing thin, your doctor can go back in to fix it.
"We can do a simple surgery," Dr. Hernandez says. "It's called a liner exchange. We take the plastic out and we put in a new one. It's easier than doing the whole total hip replacement. And then it will last another 20, 25 years."

«Смерть коммивояжёра» () — пьеса американского писателя Артура Миллера, написанная в 1949 году. Считается самым знаковым произведением автора, удостоена Пулитцеровской премии, нескольких премий «Тони» и «Драма Деск» за театральную постановку. Дебютировала на Бродвее в феврале 1949 года; с тех пор было дано 742 спектакля и четыре возрождённых постановки.

Сюжет
Сюжет рассказывает о неудачливом коммивояжёре Вилли Ломане. Он получает довольно скромное жалование и, как и прочие американские обыватели, всю жизнь вынужден выплачивать массу кредитов.

Поскольку Вилли с детства жил без отца, он чувствует себя в жизни кем-то «вроде временного постояльца». Единственный его авторитет, старший брат Бен, также рано покинул семью. Вилли прививает своим детям откровенно сомнительные ценности и даже учит их воровать. Когда его старший сын, Биф, перспективный спортсмен, оканчивал школу, он застал отца с любовницей. Это событие навсегда испортило отношения между Вилли и сыном, а также подорвало стремление Бифа хоть чего-то добиться. Биф ушёл из дома, перебивался временными заработками, иногда воровал. И без того мучившие Вилли угрызения совести только усилились, а со временем стало ухудшаться его психическое состояние.

Спустя более чем через десять лет Биф возвращается домой и застает отца в отчаянном положении: его дела на работе идут всё хуже, он всё чаще разговаривает сам с собой, и он даже совершает несколько попыток самоубийства. Пустое тщеславие подавляет чувство вины, и Вилли, хоть в душе понимает, что так и не смог ничего добиться и «земля его совершенно бесплодна», отрицает своё положение и своё дурное влияние на сына.

Биф хочет начать всё сначала, но его надежды, основанные во многом на иллюзиях и самовнушении, разбиваются в прах. Вилли увольняют с работы. Биф осознаёт свою никчёмность, но больше не считает её пороком. Он призывает отца перестать жить во лжи, но тот, как обычно, защищается обвинениями. Обессилевший Биф плачет у отца на груди. Не выдержавший эмоционального напряжения Вилли решает «наградить» сына двадцатью тысячами долларов (выплатой по страховому полису), он садится за руль и разбивается на автомобиле.

На похоронах успокоившийся Биф подытоживает жизнь отца: «Он так и не понял, что он собой представляет». Биф решает уехать и жить простой жизнью. Его брат Хеппи не отказывается от внушённых отцом притязаний и остаётся, чтобы «вырвать удачу».

Театральные постановки

Впервые пьеса была поставлена на Бродвее в 1949 году, открывшись в театре Morosco Theatre 10 февраля, и в том же году получила пять номинаций на премию «Тони». 18 ноября 1950 года, после 742 спектаклей, постановка была закрыта. Спектакль был возрождён четыре раза: в 1975 году (71 спектакль), в 1984 году с Дастином Хоффманом в роли Вилли, который позже повторил роль в киноадаптации 1985 года (97 спектаклей и пять номинаций на премию «Драма Деск»), в 1999 году с Брайаном Деннехи в Роли Вилли (272 спектакля, пять номинаций на «Тони» и семь номинаций на «Драма Деск»), и в 2012 году с Филипом Сеймуром Хоффманом в роли Вилли и Эндрю Гарфилдом в роли Бифа.

Кристофер Ллойд исполнил роль Вилли в постановке в Вестоне, Вермонт.

Saunders injury piles on the pain

HARINGEY Greyhounds net-minder Laura Saunders was stretchered off the ice by paramedics at Alexandra Palace on Sunday after suffering suspected spinal cord injuries.
The 21-year-old Great Britain international was injured when she attempted to block a shot and landed awkwardly, and both coaches immediately agreed to halt the match with Haringey 8-0 down in the final period. The scoreline will stand.
"It was initially thought it may have been a vertebrae or another form of more serious neck injury," said Greyhounds owner Nick Rothwell.
"Laura was very distressed at the time of the injury and and paramedics came and took her to hospital.
"She had tried to block a shot on her right and twisted her body awkwardly, and you can't just take a player off the ice who has a potential serious injury like that as they must be moved safely.
"It has ended up being soft tissue injuries after going in for x-rays and she has been given the all clear. I have no idea how long she will be off for, it is much more important she has time to recover from her injury." James Tipper is expected to take over as net-minder.
Saunders' injury capped a horrific weekend for Haringey, who were already 8-0 down to the visitors after Ross Brears' brace and a goal apiece from Danny Hammond, Sean Easton, Blaho Novak, Rich Whiting, Alex Green and Jerry Pavlus.
That was preceded by another 8-0 drubbing the previous day against Streatham Redskins, with former Greyhound Perry Richardson netting a hat-trick against his old club just two months after his switch in November.
Streatham had the upper hand from the outset and already led the penalty count 5-1 before Richardson put them ahead on 15 minutes.
Louis Lockwood made it 2-0 at the end of the first period, and he then extended the lead even further after the break. Hounds rallied but couldn't benefit from a brace of penalties, and their misery was compounded when Peter Molnar and Richardson added to the deficit.
Trailing 5-0 as the third period commenced, Hounds looked down and out, and so it proved as Kent Johnson and Jacob Siegeris netted, before Richardson got his third two minutes from time.

The Six Brandenburg Concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) are universally regarded as some of the greatest musical works ever written. Full of joy and almost unfathomable creative genius, Bach sent the scores to the Margrave of Brandenburg, Christian Ludwig, in Berlin on March 24, 1721 as a sort of audition portfolio.
Though Bach never heard back, the music was preserved in the Brandenburg archives. When rediscovered in the 19th century, they quickly became some of the most beloved and oft-played collections of orchestral music of all time. Join Montreal's Ensemble Les Boreades for two performances of the complete concertos over two nights performed alongside lesser-known orchestral works from the Baroque era.
Les Boréades has performed with world-renowned artists such as Hervé Niquet, director of the Concert Spirituel de Paris; Skip Sempé, harpsichordist and director of Capriccio Stravagante; violinists Manfred Kraemer and Adrian Butterfield; harpsichordist Alexander Weimann; conductor Eric Milnes; cornettist William Dongois; recorder player Stefano Bagliano; as well as with tenor Charles Daniels, and Canadian singers Matthew White, Karina Gauvin, and Laura Pudwell.
On stage, Francis Colpron, with Les Boréades, has explored the theatrical and musical worlds of the 17th and 18th centuries in shows such as Acis et Galatée (2015), La belle danse (2013), Tabarinades (2010), and Molière en Musique (2008). He has also acted in theatrical productions for young people such as Garde-Robe(2007) and La nuit de la Patate (2016). Noteworthy collaborators with Francis Colpron have included the directors Joël da Sylva and Jean-François Gagnon, and the actors Carl Béchard and Sophie Faucher.
Francis Colpron was associate flutist with Trinity Consort of Portland from 2000 to 2009. He has been a guest soloist with groups such as Apollo's Fire of Cleveland, the Edmonton Symphony, the National Arts Centre Orchestra, Opera Atelier, Thirteen Strings, the Studio de musique ancienne de Montréal, Les Violons du Roy, the Nova Scotia Orchestra, and L'Harmonie des Saisons. As well as teaching at the Université de Montréal, he is frequently invited to share his experience as a teacher at well known summer music camps such as Amherst in the United States, CAMMAC in Quebec, and Boxwood in Nova Scotia. His discography consists of more than 40 recordings.
Alexis Basque is a graduate of the Conservatoire de musique du Québec, where he received his formal training in modern trumpet performance and began his first foray into composition and orchestration.
He picked up the Baroque trumpet in 2005 in an attempt to better understand the origins of his instrument and in order to familiarize himself with historically-informed performance practices. He was then able to deepen his knowledge by attending the Mozarteum Sommerakademie of Salzburg with Susan Williams in 2012, and was introduced to the world of natural brass playing while working with renowned trumpet and natural horn players Graham Nicholson and Jean-François Madeuf. The discovery of the practice of instrumental doubling, as commonly seen in the baroque period, compelled him to add the baroque horn and tromba da tirarsi to his arsenal of instruments.
Alexis is an avid performer of Baroque music, playing and recording regularly with Montréal's most active and innovative ensembles, including the Ensemble Caprice, the Bande Montréal Baroque, les Idées Heureuses, the Theater of Early Music, la Nef and the Studio de Musique Ancienne de Montréal. He also performs with various orchestras at Bourgie Hall as part of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts' multi-year project of presenting the complete cycle of Cantatas by J.S. Bach.
Outside of Quebec, he has performed with the Toronto's Schola Cantorum, Arradia Ensemble, Thirteen Strings and the Pacific Baroque Festival Orchestra. In 2013 he was invited to play in the Ensemble Barrocade of Tel-Aviv's Israeli tour of the music of J.S. Bach, and performs with the Bach Society of Minnesota since 2016 on both horn and trumpet.
As an early music soloist, he performed in Ensemble Caprice's Vivaldi project, The Return of the Angels (Analekta, 2012). He can also be heard playing both trumpet and horn in the complete recordings of the Bach Cantatas by the Bande Montréal Baroque (ATMA Classique), a project which began in 2014.
Alexis also performs actively on the modern trumpet in various orchestral settings. He has performed as Principal trumpet with the Grands Ballets Canadiens, and also holds Principal trumpet positions with the Orchestre symphonique du Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean since 2014, and with the Orchestre symphonique de Trois-Rivières since 2017.
Olivier Brault has enjoyed an international career for almost thirty years. Baroque violin teacher at McGill University, he is the director of Sonate 1704 (Québec) and of the ensemble Les Goûts Réunis (Luxembourg), principal violin with the Four Nations Ensemble (New York) and Les Boréades de Montréal and has been concertmaster of Apollo's Fire Baroque Orchestra (Cleveland) from 2011 to 2018. He can be heard on more than sixty recordings. In 2007, he completed a doctorate at the Université de Montréal on French music for violin and figured bass, an expertise that leads him to give lectures and masterclasses in prestigious institutions such as the Conservatoire royal de musique de Bruxelles and the Conservatoire de musique et de danse de Paris. In 2011, he was awarded the medal of the Assemblée Nationale du Québec. In 2016, an article from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation placed him among the ten Canadian violinists that must be known.

STEFANO RICCI S.p.A., a leader in luxury menswear, was founded by Florentine designer Stefano Ricci and his wife Claudia. From the outset they established a philosophy of "100% Made in Italy", and Stefano Ricci's passion for neckties prompted him to produce his first models when he was in his early twenties.
Stefano Ricci overhauled the role of the necktie, transforming it from an accessory to the protagonist of the men's wardrobe. Right from his debut at Pitti Uomo, his creations received an enthusiastic welcome from the world's biggest department stores, including Neiman Marcus and Harrods.
Following requests from leading groups, in the 1970s he presented his first shirt collection and entered the high-end market with the brand's leather goods range.
With a hand-picked group of colleagues, Stefano Ricci decided to establish a consortium which would strengthen the presence of the city of Florence and the Pitti Uomo trade fair, turning them into essential benchmarks for men's fashion on an international level. The name they chose, "Classico Italia", soon became a byword for products made exclusively in Italy. The designer went on to be elected president for three terms, establishing an area dedicated to high-end collections and events.
In the 1990s, Stefano Ricci gradually expanded the men's collection to include jackets, suits, knitwear, sportswear and footwear. He developed an exclusive line of leather items and, in keeping with Florence's time-honoured jewellery-making tradition, he created a collection of cufflinks and exquisite belt buckles using gold, platinum, diamonds, sapphires and other gemstones.
Having consolidated the company's presence in the US with his own showroom in New York, Stefano Ricci decided to open his first directly operated store; it was a move that would begin the process of establishing the brand worldwide. The chosen city was Shanghai, with a strategic vision of the future of China which was ahead of its time. This proved to be a pioneering adventure which would, over the years, yield outstanding results.
To celebrate his first 25 years in business, Stefano Ricci decided to launch the brand's first fragrance. Following years of research, the men's fragrance, "Classic", was presented at Pitti Uomo with an evening reserved for 300 guests at the Terme Tettuccio spas in Montecatini. It was the beginning of a new chapter in the company's ranges, with various fragrances going on to leave their mark. They included the "Royal Eagle" perfume series and the recent "Ruthenium" fragrance.
The emblem of the brand was created: the Royal Eagle. The choice fell to the eagle as a tribute to the iconic representation of many peoples, and a symbol with close ties to the Maison's own values: HONOUR, POWER and PRIDE. The brand and the Stefano Ricci emblem were emblazoned on the store windows in Montecarlo, Beverly Hills, Beijing, Porto Cervo, Xi'an, Moscow, New York and Paris.
Having made a name for himself worldwide with his exclusive designs and unrivalled quality, Stefano Ricci decided to extend his creativity to embrace the very concept of the luxury lifestyle. The result was the birth of SR HOME, featuring porcelain dinner services and hand-ground crystal, silverware made using traditional handcraftsmanship, as well as luxury household linens and accessories for the home.
The broader context of SR HOME saw a sizeable investment to round off the range of STEFANO RICCI products. Loyal to the values of traditional manufacturing and its local roots, the company bought the Antico Setificio Fiorentino, a time-honoured silk factory which had been producing fabrics for the world's most important families since 1786. It continues to use the original hand looms to this day.
STEFANO RICCI was invited to open the Moscow Fashion Week, with a show staged in front of 2,500 guests. The same year, the company decided to bring the various production processes together in a single centre, and opened its new premises in Fiesole, on the hills outside of Florence. The original headquarters was dedicated to developing the bespoke tailoring atelier, where a tradition is continued of apprenticing young artisans with master craftsmen in order to pass on the secrets of the work.
STEFANO RICCI celebrated the 40th anniversary of its foundation with a fashion show in the Uffizi Gallery, the first and only one of its kind to be held in Italy's most important museum. The company also donated the lighting of the Loggia dei Lanzi, next to the Uffizi Gallery, to the city of Florence.
At the same time, the brand launched the SR Luxury Yacht Division under SR HOME. The range was designed to meet the needs of a clientele with a passion for Mega-Yachts.
As part of its strategy to protect and enhance the cultural legacy which STEFANO RICCI shares with its founder's homeland, the company funded the restoration of priceless volumes on the medieval Florentine Arts, kept in the State Archive of Florence. In so doing, it also ensured that a digitalisation plan for the volumes was completed.
Having received the Cavaliere del Lavoro knighthood for services to business, Stefano Ricci was asked to run the Florence-based Centre for Italian fashion, the oldest institution of its kind in Italy, which also runs Pitti Immagine. The Florentine designer organised the celebrations for "Firenze Hometown of Fashion" and donated the new lighting for the Ponte Vecchio bridge to his city, with a water show in the Arno river and a performance by Andrea Bocelli in front of 25,000 people.
The brand expressed a new phase in its creativity with the launch of the "STEFANO RICCI in Campagna" range, inspired by Tuscany, and the "STEFANO RICCI SKI" collection, which combined outstanding hi-tech performance with hand-crafted elegance.
The SR JUNIOR Collection was launched with the exclusive evening entitled "Nel nome del Figlio" (In the Name of the Son) staged at the Opera del Duomo Museum. The new collection, conveying the long-standing values behind goods that are made entirely by hand Italy, was a generational pact between parents and their children. SR JUNIOR won the heart of Harrods and saw the opening of dedicated boutiques worldwide.
STEFANO RICCI presented the new SR Catalogue to the international press at the Vittoriale degli Italiani, in a tribute to the Arbiter of Elegance, Gabriele d'Annunzio. Originally conceived as Geometries of Nature, the SR Lookbook was developed as a Tribute to Art – Uffizi, Magritte, Vettriano and Gruau - as well as a portrayal of Italian beauty showcasing the Castle of Sammezzano, the Antico Setificio Fiorentino, the Stibbert Museum, the city of Matera, which is a European culture capital, the Mugello Circuit, the Balbo Castle and the island of Montecristo.
Stefano Ricci celebrated 45 years since the company was first founded with a fashion show-event at the Sala Bianca in the Palazzo Pitti. The room made history when it became the venue to host the first ever "Made in Italy" fashion show in 1952. The prestigious site had been declared off limits for fashion events since 1982.
That same year, STEFANO RICCI consolidated SR HOME with the launch of the Furnishing range on the occasion of the Salone del Mobile in Milan.
In 2018, the company signed an agreement with Arturo Fuente to produce the Opus X – STEFANO RICCI cigar, a further milestone in the brand's leadership in luxury-lifestyle.
First founded in 1972, STEFANO RICCI has transformed itself from a small family-run manufacturing business into an international luxury group with 600 employees worldwide (including all-Italian production and retail staff) with headquarters located in the hills of Fiesole covering a surface area in excess of 9,000 m2.
Stefano Ricci – founder, chairman and designer – is helped in the management of his eponymous brand by his wife Claudia and his sons Niccolò (CEO) and Filippo (Creative Director). STEFANO RICCI has a worldwide reputation for being a model Family business. The family is constantly committed to taking Italian fashion and its unmistakable style around the world, with 68 mono-brand boutiques including Flagship stores in the world's capital cities along with 19 shop-in-shops.
And the story continues...
TEFANO RICCI S.p.A., a leader in luxury menswear, was founded by Florentine designer Stefano Ricci and his wife Claudia. From the outset they established a philosophy of "100% Made in Italy", and Stefano Ricci's passion for neckties prompted him to produce his first models when he was in his early twenties.

Samsung Galaxy Note Edge, Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy S6 Edge+ Receive October Security Update And More
6 November 2016, 12:02 am EDT By Vamien McKalin Tech Times
It's early November, and Samsung has just decided to release the October update for the Samsung Galaxy Note edge, Galaxy S6 edge, Galaxy S6 edge+. The update is designed to bring security improvements among other things to the line of Galaxy devices.
The firmware version is XXU3BPJ3 for the S6 Edge Plus, XXU4DPJH is for the Galaxy S6 Edge, while XXU4DPJD is for the T-Mobile version of the phone, according to the Inquisitor. The updates are currently being rolled out to unlocked smartphones in Europe and some parts of North America. Bear in mind that it might take some time before the update find its way to every device seeing as it is coming from over the air.
According to a report from GSM Arena, the size of the update is around 350 MB, which isn't too bad. We recommend downloading the October update over Wi-Fi for the sake of saving on data charges.
What Does The Updates Contain?
Not much to be honest. Security seems to be the main push here, but we're glad to see improvements to the battery life, improved performance due to efficient memory management and overall stability. We understand from the Dutch website, Galaxy Club, that the update also brings along some bug fixes and feature improvement.
The feature improvement aspect was not explained by the update's changelog. We view it as general features.
If the update is available, then a pop-up message should appear on your smartphone with instructions on how to grab the update. If not, travel to the Settings menu and then to Software Update and manually check for an update. The system will begin to make a search, and if there's one, it will pop-up and all you'd need to do, is accept.
That's quite easy, so no need to consider ripping your hair out. The update should make the phones a lot better, but not to mention, it should prepare these devices for Android 7.0 Nougat.
It's the next big Android release, and from what we have seen already, it's a blast to use. Version 7.1 even more so since it is the version found on the Google Pixel.
Keep in mind, despite the S6 models of the Galaxy line of devices are set to get the new Android update, the newer models are likely the main focus right now. This means, users may have to wait until 2017 to get Nougat on their smartphones.
Do you have an old Nexus 5 laying around? Yes? Guess what, with just a little bit of effort, you could get Android Nougat 7.1 installed on the handset. It's the version found in the Google Pixel smartphones, so that's good.

Gender + Sexuality
Why Smart Teens Are Sexual Idiots
To me, disturbing frosh week rape chants indicate a failure to teach enthusiastic consent.
Clay Nikiforuk 13 Sep 2013TheTyee.ca
Clay Nikiforuk is a Montreal-based writer and researcher on sex, gender, non-monogamy and sexual assault. Information on her upcoming book on the sociology of sexual assault can be found here. Find her on Twitter @ClayNikiforuk.
UBC students participate in frosh activities in a YouTube video posted online Sept. 2, 2013.
I have hope that my generation can change the world for the better, and much of that hope rests upon how well and how quickly we are enabled to share ideas and information. Though not all exposed equally, the young people in my milieu have grown up in the time of the internet. Mine is a generation of information. And I think many Canadians can agree, at least in retrospect, that using chants for joking and group-bonding sake that sound like a terrifying war cries against young female bodies is problematic.
Slut-shaming deconstructed by local 13-year-old
Indeed, the frosh week rape chants that surfaced first at Saint Mary's University in Halifax and then at the University of British Columbia have had serious consequences.
But how do two large groups of promising young people separated by the width of a continent end up hollering near-identical slogans about committing rape as if it were the hip new thing?
How to explain why bright, informed, technically savvy and often highly privileged young people seem to be content with toting archaic beliefs and behaviours regarding sex into the world they are helping create?
Embarrassingly undereducated
By the time I got out of high school, I was beginning to think critically of my own assumptions. I understood right and wrong on a number of ethically complex subjects. Yet my ability to think ethically, complexly, critically and abstractly about sex was simply not present. As a teen I wasn't just sexually inexperienced, I was embarrassingly undereducated on the topic of sex. My ability to voice dissent in the face of a totally disturbing practice such as the frosh chants would have been null. I would have joined in.
People my age and younger arrive at the time of our lives where we are expected by our peers to engage in sex, or at least talk like we do, and we're sexual idiots. I mean this in the most compassionate way possible. Young people -- whether they are brilliant, privileged, or inundated with information at all times -- are not exempt from having blind spots to the violence-accepting culture they are coming of age in, along with its harmful omissions.
While formal sex education taught me the mechanics of heterosexual sex and the dangers of gonorrhea and unplanned pregnancy, the messages I received about sex did not include (let alone stress the importance of) enthusiastic consent.
Penis-goes-in-vagina seemed like an immutable law to be accepted. Such was one's sexual fate. Speaking about sex before it happened? Or what if you don't want sex, or that kind of sex? What is a clitoris? Those were apparently discussion for another day. Perhaps the assumption was that sexual experience itself would clear all further issues up. Looking back on it now, this seems similar to assuming that once one becomes a worker, one will be instantly equipped with the critical thought required to address class struggle.
Teach pleasant, healthy, mutual sex
The few hours of my life spent learning about sex in a classroom environment did nothing to contradict the lifetime of vague and unhelpful cues my peers and I absorbed through the media, our families and each other.
One source of my informal training came from anxious adults who cautioned me that if a male seemed interested in me, he was only after one thing (but that somewhat contradictorily I should carry a weapon with me if I was to walk at night without the inherent safety of male company).
The message was that men and boys will "naturally" want sex so much that they will break laws and trust for it, and that it is female-bodied people's duty to make sure that they don't get it -- neither by force nor persuasion. Presumably, female bodies did not "naturally" have desires, lusts, or sexual preferences of their own to speak of, making rape seem like the only heterosexual sex that happened.
When female desire was not being made invisible, it was being hauled out for inspection and ridicule. The sexually desiring female body both on TV or in our ranks was made an example of, her true femininity called into question, her mental and emotional state pathologized, her existence exceptional and a source of shock and disgust. And yet no surprise and little sympathy was expressed when her sexuality was abused and held against her.
Damned if they do and damned if they don't, we were meant to believe that if female bodied people are closed sexually, then "breaking in" is a legitimate and necessary tactic, and if they are known to be open to some sexual acts with people of their choosing, then they must be asking for any and all of them indiscriminately. Never was there room to discuss a pleasant, healthy, mutual sexual encounter between a male and female and what that might look like, let alone how that might be achieved.
We were not taught about talking about sex with our partners with the objective of showing care for the other's sexual experience, especially before or checking-in during sex acts. Instead we're encouraged to believe that being eloquent and communicative is good -- even sexy- in just about all areas of life, except in sex where it "ruins the magic." And what would there be to talk about, anyways? Unless, of course, everyone had valid, unique and changing sexual preferences that no amount of body language or telepathy could communicate.
And change the language
The language used to describe sex embeds in it an attitude of materiality. It is a thing -- rather than an experience -- which can be taken, given up, stolen, lost, got, bought, cheapened, tarnished, won, or earned.
Entitlement is not new to the language of sex -- isn't it the brave male hero who always "gets" the girl as his reward? What about the idea that someone is "cheap" because they "give it up" too easily for an arbitrary standard? And what if rather than speaking of sex in terms of a material resource which enriches those who "get some" and conceptually then depletes the worthiness of those who have given it, we describe it as an experience shared equally between partners?
Perhaps entitlement (which is so often socialized in males) and slut shaming (commonly directed at girls) would make less sense with these subtle changes.
It's little wonder that so many sexual acts are simply "taken" rather than asked for. We get led down a road where at the end, sexual assault doesn't appear to be too ethically reprehensible a crime -- after all, it doesn't seem too far off from our own normalized sexual experiences and expectations, which in turn can be made into a kind of joke. Were there unavoidably visible alternatives to this coercive model -- ones which stressed enjoyment and consent -- I wonder if the bell-curve of my generation's attitudes would be a general rejection of all sexual assault as purely unacceptable. Until then, it's hard to pinpoint what's wrong when you've never seen right.
The good news is that some groups have recognized this dangerous lack in young people's ability to think and talk about sex and would like to make it better. At McGill, first-year students are required to attend a mandatory three-hour workshop in the second week of classes -- after frosh. For 10 years these workshops have tacked issues of gender norms, heteronormativity, rape culture and sexual assault. They introduce the ideas that receiving enthusiastic, continual consent is not only a legal requirement for sex to occur in Canada, but also normal and fun. This is often students' first glimpse at an alternative discourse to the ones they've grown up with. We need more of this, earlier in kids' lives and in large doses to combat the righteous attitudes which defend sexual violence as normal and "all in good fun."

An Ostomy Gave This Triathlete a New Lease on Life
After years of ignoring her ulcerative colitis diagnosis, Lee-Ann Watanabe (and her ostomy) now race to show how health and fitness comes in many forms.
December 27, 2021 Susan Lacke

To put it bluntly, Lee-Ann Watanabe has been through a lot of shit.
Shortly after taking up triathlon in 2004, the Honolulu, Hawaii resident found she was constantly experiencing gastrointestinal distress. "Sometimes racing required quite a few potty breaks, and sometimes, I never made it to the bathroom," Watanabe said. "Many times, I dealt with cramping and bloody stool during races."
But what Watanabe was experiencing wasn't race-related; it was ulcerative colitis (UC), an inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation and ulcers in the digestive tract. Instead of respecting her doctor's initial diagnosis, however, she opted to ignore it and push through. "I thought I could out-race the disease. I vowed to myself that I wouldn't let UC interfere with my newfound passion for triathlon," she said. "Once I took all the meds and I felt 'healed,' I never returned to the doctor's office."
Her symptoms returned, yet Watanabe's denial continued. She didn't want to admit she had something that most people thought of as gross and taboo. Instead, she quietly suffered through her symptoms, which were progressively getting worse. Over the years, cramping and frequent bathroom trips progressed to barely being able to make it through the day. Even a sip of water would trigger a bowel movement. The physical effort of training and racing would trigger symptoms, too. She battled constant fatigue and poor recovery. When major flares happened, she would head to the doctor, where she would receive high doses of steroids and potent pain medication. Finally, she realized enough was enough.
"It took me over two decades to realize that I really needed to take a step back and listen to my body," Watanabe said. "I had to respect my diagnosis and realize there would be some things I would need to do differently."
Her healing journey began with a trip to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, where the doctors recommended ostomy surgery to create an opening in the abdomen for bodily waste to pass into a prosthetic known as a "pouch." The procedure is a last-resort option, when damage from UC is extreme, and Watanabe certainly fit the bill.
"I realized then that my body was telling me to wake up and pay attention. In racing, especially in the longer distance triathlons, you get so used to tuning out the pain and having a laser-like focus that keeps you pushing forward no matter how broken your body is. That gets you to the finish. This time, my finish line was ostomy surgery. And I was ready."
After having the procedure in 2015, Watanabe had to find a new way of racing. Gone were the days when she would push through anything and everything; now she had to learn to honor her body and listen to its cues. There was also the matter of her pouch. "Racing with this medical appliance was tricky at first because I was still new to the process, the fitting of the pouch, what ostomy pouches work best for my body, my skin, and the Hawaii humidity," Watanabe said. In her first race back—a half-iron distance a half-year after surgery—she cried tears of frustration throughout the course. But when she crossed the finish line, she remembered why she wanted to do the race so badly.
"That was a huge moment for me," she said. "It was both hard and gratifying. It was both terrible and wonderful. I have died and been reborn on many a triathlon course. And this time, it was a total transformation."
Watanabe now trains with a profound respect for her body. The ostomy, coupled with a holistic approach to managing the triggers of UC (such as stress), has eliminated her symptoms. "Before, it was about going hard all the time, no matter what," Watanabe said. "Now, it's asking what does my body say today?"
Today, racing is a celebration of health, as well as a way to show others that health comes in all forms. "I made a vow to myself that I wouldn't waste this opportunity to start the conversation," she said. "I spent too long not taking diagnosis seriously. I truly believed that I was bigger than UC, that with hard work and dedication I could will it away."
This didn't come naturally at first, Watnabe confessed: "It was all very embarrassing to talk about at first. Most people don't speak about it because of the stigma and shame attached to this—talking about poop, messing your pants, not making it to the bathroom in time. But then I realized I want to start the conversation. If I talk about it more, I normalize it. It is my truth, and despite always being fit and active, this shitty thing—pun intended—happened to me. I had been sick for so long that I forgot what healthy felt like. My ostomy gave me my life back. It wasn't the end. It was a new beginning."

Carriera

Club
Dopo aver giocato per Odder, Bedar-Malling e Aarhus, ha cominciato la carriera professionistica nell'Horsens. Inizialmente in 1. Division, ha contribuito alla promozione del campionato 2004-2005. Il 20 luglio 2005 ha potuto così esordire nella Superligaen, schierato titolare nella sconfitta interna contro il Viborg (0-3). Il 7 maggio 2006 ha realizzato la prima rete nella massima divisione danese, nella vittoria per 4-1 sul Brøndby. È rimasto in squadra anche per la stagione seguente.

È stato poi ingaggiato dal Silkeborg, formazione in cui ha militato per il successivo biennio. Nel 2009 si è trasferito ai belgi dello Zulte Waregem. Ha debuttato con questa maglia il 31 ottobre, subentrando a Chris Makiese nel pareggio per 2-2 contro lo Charleroi. Ha realizzato il primo gol in campionato il 22 novembre successivo, nella vittoria per 4-1 sul Mechelen.

Per l'anno successivo, è stato ceduto in prestito al Roeselare, formazione di Tweede klasse. Ha disputato il primo incontro in squadra il 12 settembre 2010, in una sfida vinta per 3-2 contro il Lommel United.

A fine stagione, ha fatto ritorno in patria per giocare nell'Esbjerg. Ha contribuito alla promozione del campionato 2011-2012, mentre l'anno seguente è arrivata la vittoria finale nella Coppa di Danimarca 2012-2013. Al termine di questa annata, si è ritrovato svincolato.

L'8 agosto 2013 ha firmato un contratto con i norvegesi del Sarpsborg 08, valido fino al termine della stagione in corso. Ha scelto la maglia numero 17. Il 28 novembre 2013, a seguito della salvezza ottenuta con la squadra, ha rinnovato il contratto che lo legava al club per altre tre stagioni.

Il 20 ottobre 2016, Ernemann è passato al Viking, firmando un contratto valido a partire dal 1º gennaio 2017.

Le Parti croate des retraités, Hrvatska Stranka Umirovljenika (HSU) est un parti politique catégoriel en Croatie dont l'objectif est de défendre les intérêts des retraités qui sont environ  personnes.

Histoire

L'assemblée fondatrice du parti fut tenue à Zagreb le . L'objectif et les activités politiques du HSU visent à améliorer la situation sociale et économique des retraités en Croatie qui sont le groupe social le plus nombreux mais aussi celui qui s'est le plus appauvri depuis 1990. La réalisation de ces objectifs doit s'inscrire dans un État providence croate plus développé. Le parti vise à défendre les intérêts de tous les retraites croates, quelles que soient leurs idées politiques.

Dès les premières élections locales auxquelles ils s'est présenté (1997), il a obtenu 40 élus locaux à travers le pays. Lors des élections parlementaires de fin 2000, la liste du HSU a obtenu  voix, score insuffisant pour lui permettre d'avoir des députés.

Le parti aujourd'hui

Le président du parti est, depuis 2001 (réélu en 2005), Vladimir Jordan.

Lors des élections parlementaires de fin 2003, le HSU a obtenu 1,97 % des voix et 3 sièges au Sabor. Lors des élections locales tenues en 2005, il a obtenu 40 conseillers régionaux, 100 conseillers municipaux et 106 conseillers communaux.

En 2011, il participe à la Coalition Cocorico pour les élections législatives anticipées.

Q: Substitute n in [x|x<-[1..n]] test n = (sum s)*4+2*(n-1)*((l')^2)-2*(n-1)*(l')
    where
      p =sort $[ m | a<-[1..(n-1)],b<-[1..(n-1)],let m= (b/a), (a^2+b^2< (n^2))]
      l'= length p
      s = (product a) : next a (group p)
        where
          a = [(n-1),2*(l')+(n-2)]
          next [x,y] (z:z':zs) = case (null zs) of
            False -> (x')*(y')*l : next [x',y'] (z':zs)
            True -> (x')*(y')*l :[]
            where
              l  = length z
              x' = x+l
              y' = y-length z'

Why does the above code give the following error:

No instance for (Fractional Int) arising from a use of '/'
     In the expression: (b / a)
In an equation for 'm': m = (b / a)
In the second argument of '($)', namely
 '[m |
    a <- [1 .. (n - 1)],
     b <- [1 .. (n - 1)],
     let m = (b / a),
    (a ^ 2 + b ^ 2 < (n ^ 2))]'

But when I substituted n=3 in the code by hand:
test' = (sum s)*4+2*(3-1)*((l')^2)-2*(3-1)*(l')
    where
      p = sort $[ m | a<-[1..(3-1)],b<-[1..(3-1)],let m= (b/a), (a^2+b^2< (3^2))]
      l'= length p
      s = (product a) : next a (group p)
        where
          a = [(3-1),2*(l')+(3-2)]
          next [x,y] (z:z':zs) = case (null zs) of
            False -> (x')*(y')*l : next [x',y'] (z':zs)
            True -> (x')*(y')*l :[]
            where
              l  = length z
              x' = x+l
              y' = y-length z'

Then it can be run in GHCi; what is happening?

A: When you typed n, you forced it to become Int with your expressions. Thus, b and a became Ints, which became problematic in a/b.
When you wrote 3, the literal being polymorphic allowed some expressions to use Int, and some to use some other Fractional a => a. The 3s used across that function are simply different values.
Creating a different value such as nP = fromIntegral n should allow you to use n in every context, because nP shouldn't become rigidized by any expression.

My first girl over 200gm :laughing: She's only been curing a week so far, so I'll update this report if the flavour changes significantly. I get a nice happy head buzz, then a chill relaxed feeling with a bit of body stone. Keeps me perky! Not super strong, but that could be cause the White LSD I've been smoking this week makes me lose time. The lemon taste isn't super strong, but it takes the edge off the gassy OG taste really well! My bf thinks it's the tastiest we've grown yet.
Still trying to dial in my schedule. I seem to go fine until late flowering then start getting a few deficiencies and lockouts at once. But all the plants make it through! I'll keep working on it and then I'll be a better judge of the nutes themselves.
The denseness of this plant while growing can be a challenge, especially in high humidity. Lost one of my main colas to mould, and trying to keep up with defol on this chick was crazy. But a lot of that is inexperience I'm sure! If I were onto it earlier it may have been easier.
She got pretty burnt during a heatwave but kept on keepin on and ended up with a lot of bud, even without one of the colas. She also had no issues with being topped, showed no signs of noticing it.
@Nostresskush, Thanks so much! One more to harvest and my second grow will be done :D Such a learning curve.
Great Harvest! Looking forward to your next grow!


If you're looking for information about one of the top CrossFit trainers, who also happens to have his own line of shoes, then keep on reading. We have all the details you need to know about Rich Froning Jr.
Rich Froning Jr. has been an active CrossFit athlete since 2010. For six years now, he has won numerous awards, both in the individual and team competitions. His individual competition lasted for about four years from 2010 to 2014. And since 2015 to present, this American athlete has been with a team joining and winning the CrossFit games. Before he joined CrossFit, Froning was a baseball player.
He was the second baseman during the all-region baseball competition back in high school. His same involvement with the sport gave this athlete a scholarship at the Walter State Community College after she graduated in 2005.
Froning played football too. Not long after, decided to retire from playing baseball and started work at a fire department while he continued his studies at a Tennessee university.While he worked at the fire department, Froning got attracted to CrossFit where he later on became passionate with.
Then, in 2010, he started coaching in CrossFit and joining the competitions. And, though very famous in CrossFit, Froning is not following Zone diet or the Paleolithic diet. He does not do so because he firmly believes it is better that he listens to what his body needs.
He also owns his own CrossFit box, CrossFit Mayhem in Tennessee.
In 2014, Froning signed a long-term deal with Reebok to become one of their most highly paid athletes. At the time, Froning stated that he was happy to be with Reebok for the rest of his career.
Adhering to his self-planned diet, the former baseball player drinks only whole milk and eats peanut butter generously. In relation to this, Froning does not usually eat excessively. He tells people he's training to eat clean (lots of lean meat and veggies), but he sometimes doesn't take this advice himself!
Rather, he eats large amount of meals during the night and drinks protein shakes abundantly.
What about Rich Froning Shoes?
specifically designed for CrossFit or gym workouts. They're ideal for sprinting, jumping, climbing and lifting.
For half-a-decade of competition in CrossFit now, Froning has won various awards and titles already. He was a four-time champion at the regional finals in 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015.
He was also a three-time champion at the open worldwide competitions for three consecutive years starting 2012 to 2014. Winning the competitions is not the only achievement Foning has over the years.
He has also gained a lot of remarkable sponsorships from famous labels such as Rogue Fitness, Oakley, and Reebok. Incidentally, in the beginning 2015, Reebok launched a new shoe designed partly by Froning, bearing a Bible scripture, Reebok CrossFit Competition 6:14, which was tattooed to his side.
Quite an impressive number of achievements, right? It's quite reasonable to call him the fittest man on Earth!
Tips to Get Fit from Rich Froning Jr.
First is by going through a bodyweight workout routine. Here, he shares his own routine of five rounds of 20 reps each of squats, pull-ups and pistols, and push-ups.
Second is to work out with friends who are willing to sacrifice with them.
Third is to never put any limit on what they can do.
The fourth tip is for one to redirect his attention when he feels like giving up already. In Foning's case, he motivates himself thinking of his wife and daughter as his inspirations.
The fifth tip is that, make the training fun. One who finds fun in what he does will never think of giving up.
You might want to know how this guy works out, in order to become the fittest man on Earth. Part of the secret is that he works hard at it, really, really hard. Over 7 days, he'll have up to 18 different workouts. One in the AM, and 1-2 workouts in the PM.
As far as training is concerned, this CrossFit competitor works out several times in a day and opts not to take any rest day. He does not have any coach either to plan his every workout.
What about Rich Froning Shorts?
Reebok Workout Shorts-Rich Froning Jr.
Besides CrossFit Shoes, froning also has some very popular workout shorts. They're cool, comfortable and you'll love them so much that you might want to wear them all the time, not just at the gym.
You can learn more about them here. Just keep on reading.
There are some rumours circulating around on the Internet that the fittest man on Earth has used steroids to help him achieve this success. However, there is no evidence to support this and he has never been formally investigated for this by any organization.
There is also regular drug testing by the organizers of the CrossFit games, both in and out of competition. Although it's not independently administered like some other professional sports, these results should be taken at their word.
Froning eats clean, trains harder than just about anybody and has the attitude and desire it takes to be a champion, so his success can probably be attributed to this!
What do you Think About Rich Froning Jr?
And, have you tried out the Rick Froning CrossFit shoes?

[media]The first mention of Yemmerrawanne in European records is in October 1790, when Captain Watkin Tench wrote about the peaceful 'coming-in' of the Eora to the English Settlement at Sydney Cove. Tench said 'Imeerawanyee', or Yemmerrawanne, was a 'slender, fine-looking youth' and a 'good tempered lively lad' who soon became 'a great favourite with us, and almost constantly lived at the governor's house.' [1]
Two years later, on 10 December 1792, Yemmerrawanne left his homeland on the banks of the Parramatta River to sail 10,000 miles to England with Governor Arthur Phillip and his Wangal kinsman Woollarawarre Bennelong, arriving at Falmouth in Cornwall on 19 May 1793.
He never returned. After a long illness, Yemmerrawanne died from a lung infection on 18 May 1794 at the home of Mr Edward Kent at South End, Eltham in the county of Kent. He was buried in the village churchyard of St John the Baptist, now part of the Royal Borough of Greenwich, southeast of London. He was only nineteen.
Naming Yemmerrawanne
Tench wrote his name as Imeerawanyee, Judge Advocate David Collins called him Yem-mer-ra-wan-nie, and Elizabeth Macarthur called him Imerewanga. His full name 'Yem-mer-ra-wan-ne – Ta-bong-en – Tan-ni' was recorded in a vocabulary kept by Governor Phillip and his aides. [2] Phillip used the spelling Yemmerawanya in letters written in England after 1793.
[media]The vicar of Eltham, the Reverend John Kenward Shaw Brooke MA, who conducted a Christian burial service for the Eora man, recorded his death in the Parish register on 21 May 1794, and added a significant detail.
Yemmurrvonyea Kebarrah, a Native of New
South Wales, died May 18th 1794, supposed to be
aged 19 Years, at the house of Mr Edward Kent. [3]
Kebbarah means an initiated man whose upper right front tooth had been knocked out by a stone (from keba, a stone or rock). [4] Only Bennelong and Phillip, who would have attended the funeral at Eltham, could have told Shaw Brooke that Yemmerrawanne was entitled to use that name.
The only known likeness of Yemmerrawanne is a silhouette profile in the Sir William Dixson collection of the State Library of New South Wales. A handwritten inscription on the reverse wrongly states: 'Yuremany, one of the first natives brought from New South Wales by Governor Hunter and Captain Waterhouse.' [5] It was Governor Phillip who took Yemmerrawanne and his Wangal kinsman Woollarawarre Bennelong from Sydney to England in December 1792 aboard the convict transport ship Atlantic.
Yemmerrawanne and the English in Sydney
Tench, Surgeon John White and John Palmer, with the Aboriginal children Nanbarry and Boorong, met Bennelong at his camp at Kirribilli on 15 September 1790. The English officers suggested he should 'provide a husband' for Boorong, someone who could come and go from the English settlement as he chose. They tried to promote a romance between Yemmerrawanne and Boorong, who then lived with Chaplain Richard Johnson and his wife Mary.
The lad, on being invited, came immediately up to her, and offered many blandishments, which proved that he had assumed the toga virilis [garment of manhood]. But Abaroo disclaimed his advances, repeating the name of another person, who we knew was her favourite. The young lover was not, however, easily repulsed, but renewed his suit, on our return in the afternoon, with such warmth of solicitation, as to cause an evident alteration in the sentiments of the lady. [6]
Boorong's favourite, the other person she named, was probably Carradah, a Gamaragal (Cameragal) from the Manly area who already had a wife.
Bennelong complained to the English officers that 'he and his countrymen' had been robbed of fishing spears and other implements. When Tench crossed the harbour again the next day to return the stolen weapons Yemmerrawanne claimed a 'wooden sword' (fighting club). Showing off to Boorong, he attacked a grass tree (Xanthorrhea species) with the weapon, shouting, gesturing and calling on everyone to look at him. Tench wrote
Having conquered his enemy, he laid aside his fighting face, and joined us with a countenance which carried in it every mark of youth and good nature.
After this performance Yemmerrawanne completely ignored Boorong. Though too young to grow a beard, he was delighted to have his hair clipped and combed. [7]
Early in February 1791 Yemmerrawanne, then aged about sixteen, was initiated at a gathering in a bay in Gamaragal territory on the north shore of Sydney Harbour with another youth who had been staying with Governor Phillip (probably Boorong's brother Ballooderry). Bennelong officiated in this ceremony, knocking out teeth with a specially cut womera (throwing stick) and raising scars on the skin of initiates. He might also have acted as Yemmerrawanne's sponsor.
The new-made men returned to Sydney Cove crowned with split rushes, with reed bands bound around their upper arms and a broad streak painted on their chests. Their front upper incisor teeth had been knocked out and Yemmerrawanne had lost a piece of his jawbone. Despite the ordeal they were proud of their new status and bore the pain defiantly.
I have seen a considerable degree of swelling and inflammation; following the extraction, Imeerawanyee, I remember, suffered severely. But he boasted the firmness and hardihood, with which he had endured it. It is seldom performed on those who are under sixteen years old. [8]
The Governor's house
Clothes were specially made for Yemmerrawanne and he was taught to wait at table. As an initiated man he refused to take instructions from the cheeky, uninitiated Nanbarry, as Tench relates in an anecdote about one occasion, in November 1790, when Mrs. Elizabeth Macarthur (wife of John Macarthur) dined at Governor Phillip's house.
This latter [Nanbarry], anxious that his countryman should appear to advantage in his new office, gave him many instructions, strictly charging him, among other things, to take away the lady's plate, whenever she should cross her knife and fork, and to give her a clean one. This Imeerawanyee executed, not only to Mrs. M'Arthur, but to several of the other guests. At last Nanbaree crossed his knife and fork with great gravity, casting a glance at the other, who looked for a moment with cool indifference at what he had done, and then turned his head another way. Stung at this supercilious treatment, he called in rage, to know why he was not attended to, as well as the rest of the company. But Imeerawanyee only laughed; nor could all the anger and reproaches of the other prevail upon him to do for one of his countrymen, which he cheerfully continued to perform to every other person. [9]
Marines fired their muskets at two of Bennelong's allies, Bigon and Bangai, who were robbing a potato garden at Tarra (Dawes Point) on 29 December 1790. Four days later Yemmerrawanne led Surgeon John White, Nanbarry and an Aboriginal woman to a nearby bay where they found Bangai's body. He had bled to death after a musket ball passed through his shoulder. [10]
The voyage to London
On 10 December 1792 Yemmerrawanne and Bennelong embarked from Warrane (Sydney Cove) on the convict transport ship Atlantic with Governor Arthur Phillip who was returning to England. On 21 May 1793, their first day in London, they were measured for ruffled shirts, waistcoats, breeches, frock coats with plated buttons and buckled shoes suitable for wearing in society.
On 28 May 1793 both the London Packet and the General Evening Post reported: 'Governor Phillip has brought home with him two of the natives of New Holland, a man and a boy, and brought them to town.' The English press had formed an impression of Yemmerrawanne as a youth who seemed to live in Bennelong's shadow. [11]
They lodged in Mayfair at the home of William Waterhouse, father of Lieutenant Henry Waterhouse, who broke the spear that wounded Governor Phillip at Manly Cove in September 1790.
Clad in their new finery Bennelong and Yemmerrawanne sat in a private box with Governor Phillip at the King's Theatre at the Haymarket to see the Italian comic opera Gli zingari in Fiera ('Gypsies at the Fair') on Saturday 8 June 1793. It was their first experience of English theatre. Following the Opera they watched Madame Janet Hiligsberg, wearing fetching tights, dance a 'pastoral ballet' Le Jaloux Puni ('The Jealous Punished'). [12]
Yemmerrawanne, like Bennelong, must have marvelled at the London sights. The two Wangal men swam in the Serpentine in Hyde Park and saw the illuminations in St. James's Street on 3 June, eve of the King's birthday.
Not long after their arrival in London 'Benelong, and Yam-roweny, the two Chiefs … from Botany Bay' brought their own music to Waterhouse's home, beating sticks and singing in their own language. The words and music of this 'Song of the Natives of New South Wales' were written down by Waterhouse's neighbour Edward Jones, a Welsh harpist and bard to the Prince of Wales (later George IV), who published the score in his Musical Curiosities in 1811. This was certainly the first time an Aboriginal song was performed in Europe and the printed score is the oldest known published music from Australia. [13]
Illness and death
On 29 September 1793 the London Observer reported that Bennelong and Yemmerrawanne both seemed ill and needed walking sticks to get around the Mount Street area, adding that 'one of them appears much emaciated'. This was Yemmerrawanne, who was beginning to feel the effects of a lung ailment. The Scots naturalist Robert Jameson, who saw them at Parkinson's Museum on 8 October, wrote 'One of them [Yemmerrawanne] appears much emaciated … they seem constantly dejected, and every effort to make them laugh has for many months past been ineffectual'. [14]
Yemmerrawanne somehow injured his leg the following month, further aggravating his illness. On 15 October a coach took the Aboriginal men to the house of Mr. Edward Kent in Eltham, where Dr. Gilbert Blane, a former navy surgeon and physician to the Prince of Wales, treated Yemmerrawanne. The house was owned by Governor Phillips's patron Lord Sydney, whose country seat, Frognal House, was at nearby Chislehurst.
Despite repeated doses of laxative mixes, bark decoctions, embrocations (liniment), anodyne draughts (painkillers, possibly opium) and blister dressings (hot plasters) dispensed by apothecary George John Vivers, poor Yemmerrawanne's health continued to decline. On 30 November Dr. Blane was called to see him at Eltham and was paid three guineas, while the apothecary's bill for medicines was four guineas. A further account for £1.3.1 emphasises how badly Yemmerrawanne was suffering: 'Two Beds, coverings and furniture (all rendered totally useless) and extra attendance Fires and lights during Yemmerawanya's sickness.' In December 1793 Dr. Blane claimed £4.14.6 for 'Attendance, bleeding, dressings for Yemmerrawanne'.
Winter set in and on 30 January 1794 Waterhouse purchased a warm blue greatcoat for Yemmerrawanne and a 'Jacket for Mr. Bennalong' from Jonathan West, a Pall Mall tailor, at a cost of £1.5.0.
Yemmerrawanne, now being dosed with Dr. Fothergill's pills at five shillings per box, somehow managed to find the strength to visit the Houses of Parliament at Westminster with Bennelong on Wednesday 16 April 1794.
John Briggs cared for the two Aboriginal men in Kent's house for more than three months during 1794 but was not paid for this service. 'I did everything for them in my power', he claimed in a letter to Phillip on 17 October 1794, months after Yemmerrawanne's death, asking for payment for 'the attention I have paid, and the time I have given up to the Natives'. Briggs, who seems to have been a Quaker, said he could not pay board and lodging 'while staying at my Brother's house' but instead had been 'an expence to my friends'.
Phillip wrote to Charles Long, Secretary to the Treasury, from Millbrook, near Southampton, on 20 October 1794 enclosing Briggs's claim. Phillip wrote
I know the greatest care and attention was paid to them, & particularly to Yemmerawanya, who during his illness required more than one person to attend him.
Soon afterwards Briggs received a payment of nineteen guineas. Briggs had also given reading and writing lessons to both Aboriginal visitors, although his claim for £1.9.0 for that service was crossed out on the account sent to the Treasury.
Yemmerrawanne's death was reported in the Morning Post (29 May 1794) and other London newspapers. 'One of the two natives of Botany Bay, who came over with Governor Phillip, is dead: his Companion pines much for his loss.' [15]
An empty grave
[media]Bills in the Treasury Board Papers at The National Archives in Kew indicate that Yemmerrawanne's grave was covered with turf by a gravedigger, who charged one shilling and sixpence for his services. The granite headstone cost £6.16.0. [16] The inscription reads:
YEMMERAWANYEA
a Native of
who died the 18th of May, 1794
In the 19th Year of his
AGE [17]
Today Yemmerrawanne's tombstone has been restored, but rests against a wall facing Well Hall Road, Eltham's High Street. Margaret Taylor, an archivist at Eltham Parish Church, stated in 1991 that it had been moved several times and that an elderly resident had told her it once stood on the other side of the path. [18] Until recently it was believed that Yemmerrawanne's gravestone had been separated from his burial plot after German bombs rained on Eltham during World War II.
There is another version of why the location of the grave is unknown. Seeking to exhume Yemmerrawanne's remains, Geoffrey Robertson QC discovered, as he told television journalist Liam Bartlett, that 'when the space was needed they just threw his remains out…he was disposed of'. [19] The Australian-born barrister and human rights lawyer later named his source as the Bishop of South London. [20]
Robertson retold the story in Dreaming too Loud.
It seemed a simple matter to uplift Yemmerrawannie, whose headstone stood in Eltham. But then, to his almighty embarrassment, the bishop discovered that the grave was empty: the plot had been needed for more important white parishioners and the Aborigine's bones had been thrown away.
Of course, the bishop confided, if it was bones we wanted, there were some lying around...I resisted the temptation. [21]
Three Aboriginal men, Michael Bungapidju and Murphy Dhulparippa from Yirrkala in the Gove Peninsula, Arnhem Land, and Ralph Nichols from Melbourne, made a pilgrimage to the grave of 'Yemmerawanyea' at Eltham in March 1982 but were not aware that his body had been removed. [22] Nor was Harry Penrith, the Aboriginal activist, actor and writer better known as Burnum Burnum, who saw the headstone in January 1988 and hoped to retrieve Yemmerrawanne's remains and return them to Australia.

Real crime, 2004. Video installation, 13 min 44 sec. Multi-channel projection
The title for the video production has been derived from Jean Baudrillard's The Perfect Crime (1996) and plays with his idea that the world as we experience it reveals itself through appearances. If not for appearances, the world would represent the perfect crime (in other words, disappeared without a trace).The computer-generated video production was manipulated from imagery of twigs, dry bushes and bare trees that was filmed in the Lowveld, Mpumalanga. The Renaissance cosmological colour idiom range of blue, green, red and brown-grey were utilised; these colours were digitally shifted to a more artificial colour idiom so that the red for instance became a neon pink and the blue an intense neon blue. This was a deliberate conceptual choice in order to play with the idea of artificially constructed worlds.The work is in three parts and refers to the four cosmologicalelements as encountered in Greek thought: Part 1 signifies fire and connecting cyberworlds; Part 2 refers to water and the fluidity of constructed worlds; and Part 3 refers to earth, materiality and artifice. There is reference to the fourth element, air, via the suggestion of hyperspace and virtuality as the connecting aspect.
