If you're going to a short event, you might be able to get away with manning the booth yourself. I know I have, and it's usually not too bad. But MAGFest is not a short event. It's 3 days (72 hours to be exact) during which your game could be running. Sure, you only need someone at your booth for 21 hours of that, but that's still a long time. And with as much as there is to do at MAGFest (checking out other games, exploring the art vendor space, networking, and parties, just to name a few things), you won't want to just sit at your booth the whole time. You'll tire yourself out, so your whole schedule will just be "Wake up. Watch the booth. Go to bed. Repeat," and that's not good. Bring at least one other person. We had a team of four, which also allowed us to engage more groups and take turns to save our voices.
2. It's not just a booth. It's a booth presence.
You can get by with just the basics — a computer, a screen, and some controllers — but that won't attract people to your booth. You're battling against all the other teams there for guests' attention, and you're only going to win if you go big. We were constrained by both a budget and whatever I could bring on the train alone to get there, so we didn't have a lot. But we still brought a tablecloth, a couple of standing vinyl banners, a 23" monitor, desktop speakers, and a bunch of postcards and business cards. We kept things rather simple, not having the capacity for extra chairs much less a couch. But once we got there, we picked up some markers, sticky notes, and a board to create a makeshift graffiti wall, just as a little something to set ourselves apart and give the guests a way to engage with us and our game. This gave our booth more verticality and brighter colors too. We know have some great goals to increase our booth presence, such as a nice start screen for the game with an attract loop, and a second machine running the game so that more people could play at once.
3. Keep your game running the full 24 hours.
They give you the option, so you should use it. And believe me, the guests will too. It can be scary since you're leaving all your equipment unattended, so just make sure to take proper precautions. We bought two Kensington locks to secure our laptop and monitor. If you're unsure whether your device is compatible, just CTRL+F in the instruction manual for "Kensington", "security", or "lock." You can usually also find mention of it on the product's website under Features or Specifications. We also bought some cable traps, but it turns out the Kensington locks would not fit through, so we didn't get to use them. We also like to use wireless controllers when possible, but this time we chose some AmazonBasics Xbox One Wired controllers. They're cheap so you can get a lot, they don't have to be charged, and Windows supports them right out of the box. Not to mention, they're not nice enough to be worth stealing. Just make sure that, when you lock down your computer, you also disable the shortcut to open the Windows 10 Xbox app by pressing the Xbox button. Someone did that overnight at our booth, preventing people from playing the game until I discovered it the next morning.
We also did a bunch of things to make sure no one could tamper with the computer itself, like disabling the keyboard and mouse input. We used BlueLife KeyFreeze for this, and it worked perfectly. I found this Batch script online that ensured Runaway would open again if it crashed. I put a shortcut to that and KeyFreeze in the startup folder of a non-admin user account. When I logged in to that account, it would automatically launch Runaway and lock down the keyboard. Then all I had to do to update the game was re-enable the keyboard, sign out and into my admin account, and copy over the game's files. Sign back into the demo user, and we're good to go again. We left a piece of paper out each night labelled "Bug Reports/Suggestions", and that also came in handy. We got plenty of feedback and a couple of leads for hunting down bugs. Special shout-out to one person who not only wrote that they clipped through the wall but even drew a picture and detailed each setting they had. If that doesn't make you want to fix the bug, then I don't know what will!
And for the record, we are using Unity for Runaway, not GameMaker.
4. Bring a computer that you can work on.
The first day of the festival was the most rough because just about anything that could break found a way to. Luckily, I had my personal laptop on hand, so I spent the whole day developing hotfixes to patch the game-breaking bugs. It was an exhausting start, but it gave me peace of mind through the rest of the festival that the game could be left alone without issue. I had to fix things a few times after, but not nearly as much as that first day.
Here I am in my natural habitat. You can tell I'm stuck since I'm staring off into space.
5. Create a mailing list, both in-game and on paper.
Make sure to include a value proposition, something to entice people to sign up. At the suggestion of our awesome neighbors Starfall Studios, I put a sign into the main menu that allowed players to submit their emails in-game. That way, we didn't have to worry about handwriting, they'd have no idea how many people came before them (so they wouldn't feel like the first), and more people could give their email at once.
Players need a reason to give you an email address, which often feels a lot more personal than simply finding and following someone on Twitter. We gave the promise of an alpha build. In doing so, we give players a continued means to stay involved with Runaway's development and allow them to enjoy it in the comfort of their own home with whomever they want. That way, they enjoy it in their ideal setting, and we get more people playing it, testing it, and giving us feedback on it.
Speaking of, make sure you sign up for our mailing list if you'd like to be among the first to get access to that alpha build! We're shooting for the end of January/beginning of February, so sign up now at the bottom of this page and keep an eye out for that email! All we need is your email address, which we promise will not be shared with anyone else.
6. Take advantage of analytics.
Insights into which modes are chosen most, how long players spend on each level, and many other things can shape how you view your game and tell you a lot about what parts matter most to your players. Not to mention, they're handy for knowing how many people play your game at different times of day. Unfortunately, we've learned the hard way that Unity will cache analytics events that it cannot log (like due to no internet connection) but not the times they were initially fired. Because of this, we cannot give a time breakdown for our data. We know how many times players went to the main menu throughout MAGFest, but not when; instead it all shows up as happening on January 8th, when I left the game running for an hour to let the analytics catch up.
I'd like to take a moment to give a special mention to some of the people we talked to at MAGFest. Unfortunately, this list is nowhere near comprehensive of the awesome talent and incredible people that were in attendance because I did not have time to walk around and meet everyone. However, it gives just a little sample of the cool people that were there!
As mentioned above, Starfall Studios, working on a gorgeous stealth-action game Sneaky Ninja! Our other neighbor was Odyssey Entertainment, working on a sci-fi puzzle platformer called Transmogrify. We had a lot of fun getting to know both teams and talking about different tricks of the trade! I'd also like to thank everyone who played Runaway. We got plenty of helpful feedback and were honored by how positive everyone was. You all made the experience worth it (even if I did almost break my back getting there!) Most of all, I'd like to give a shout-out to the incredible staff that made MAGFest possible. They were friendly, helpful, and all around just fun people. They were excited to try out each of our games, and it felt great to know that we were being supported. The whole festival was just amazing, and I would love to be a part of it again next year.

Get Your Burning Questions Answered, It's #AskaCurator Day
More than 700 museums, galleries, theatres, and more across the globe are taking to Twitter to answer your queries about, well, anything
Victoria Hetz
#AskaCurator Day brings the museum to you, so get your questions ready!
Curators across the globe, from the McDermott Gallery (@McDermottGallry) in Cambodia to the Sierra Leone National Railway Museum (@SLRailwayMuseum) in West Africa, are participating in #AskaCurator Day. Launched in 2010 by museum consultant Jim Richardson and currently overseen by MuseoMixUK founder Mar Dixon, #AskaCurator Day provides instant access to curators of cultural venues and their wide breadth of knowledge. All that's required is a Twitter account, the tag #AskaCurator, and a question on art, history, science, or whatever else pops into your noggin.
As Dixon told the Guardian, "It's a win-win for everyone involved, and a free for all in every sense" because it eliminates any nervousness someone might feel approaching a curator and gives curators a better sense of what the general public would like to know more about.
Last year's #AskaCurator Day proved highly popular, especially for Smithsonian museums. The Institution's curators fielded such questions as "How big is the Earth in comparison to the Sun?", "Is the first light bulb still working?", "What's the best quality a curator can have?", and "How do you go to the bathroom in space?".
This year, among the experts participating are:
At the Postal Museum (@postalmuseum), historian and curator Nancy Pope and curator of philately Daniel Piazza are ready to tackle pretty much any postal-related question you may have. Pope will be fielding questions in all areas of postal history; however, her particular interests are transportation and technology history. As for Piazza, he will serve as an excellent resource for philatelic (stamp-related) questions.
Simon Rettig, curator of the Freer | Sackler's (@freersackler), will be on hand to talk about the new nasta'liq exhibition.
At the National Museum of African American History and Culture (@NMAAHC), seven curators on topics ranging from photography to music to slavery will all be standing by, ready to answer your questions.
Curators from the American History Museum (@amhistorymuseum) are scheduled throughout the day. Check out the O Say Can You See blog for the full list, but the topics covered will include photography, digitization, country music, the museum's LGBT collections, money, baseball cards and much more.
The National Museum of Natural History is well-represented, with five curators from Rogers Archaeology Lab (@archaeologylab) and curator Nick Pyenson of Pyenson Lab (@pyensonlab) available to answer questions pertaining to the fields of linguistics, physical anthropology, cultural anthropology, archaeology, and marine biology and evolution.
Also fielding questions are curators from the National Air and Space Museum (@airandspace), and the National Museum of African Art (@nmafa).
"It's wonderful to shine a spotlight on how museums engage with the community through technology," says Sarah Sulick, the public affairs specialist who will be working the @smithsonian account for #AskaCurator Day. "At the Smithsonian, we like to think of every day as 'Ask a Curator Day' since our hundreds of social media accounts put you in touch with countless experts on topics as varied as art, history, science and culture."
Not a fan of social media? You can always submit your questions to "Ask Smithsonian." Your question may even be featured in our magazine or one of our Ask Smithsonian videos, so ask away!

November 17, 2007 — Rev. Fr. Jessie Somosierra, Jr.
436 The word "Christ" comes from the Greek translation of the Hebrew Messiah, which means "anointed". It became the name proper to Jesus only because he accomplished perfectly the divine mission that "Christ" signifies. In effect, in Israel those consecrated to God for a mission that he gave were anointed in his name. This was the case for kings, for priests and, in rare instances, for prophets.29 This had to be the case all the more so for the Messiah whom God would send to inaugurate his kingdom definitively.30 It was necessary that the Messiah be anointed by the Spirit of the Lord at once as king and priest, and also as prophet.31 Jesus fulfilled the messianic hope of Israel in his threefold office of priest, prophet and king.

Lemongrass or Citronella: Cultivation and Care
This is a plant that has digestive and repellent properties, in addition to working very well in decoration and gastronomy. Discover how to grow and care for citronella here!
Written by Jonatan Menguez
Last update: 16 September, 2022
There's a plant that can be used for medicinal, gastronomic, and ornamental uses and can even be used to repel mosquitoes. Lemongrass or citronella has very special characteristics that make it cover all these possibilities, in addition to having a simple way of cultivation.
It seems surprising that the plant used to repel insects is the same that forms the basis of Thai curry. Because of its citrus contributions, lemongrass has many uses in gastronomy.
On the other hand, the care it requires is basic. However, due to its adaptation to tropical climates, it's not very resistant to cold temperatures.
What is lemongrass or citronella?
Its scientific name is Cymbopogon citratus, but it's known as lemongrass or citronella, depending on the region of the planet it's being cultivated in and the unique characteristics of the plant. It's a species native to Southeast Asia, especially in countries such as India and Sri Lanka. The genus Cymbopogon has more than 55 species and belongs to the Poaceae family, better known as grasses.
This family includes plants that form the basis of the world's food supply, such as wheat, sorghum, corn, and oats. Citronella, although less known, also has a strong influence on gastronomy. It's often used in infusions such as tea, tereré, and mate in parts of South America. Also, some cooks use it in different soups and to season fish or seafood.
This plant belongs to the perennial category, as it can survive for more than two years without needed to be replanted. It presents a robust format and a set of clusters with spikes and flowers combined with long aromatic leaves.
It can measure up to 1.5 meters in height, but one of its most outstanding characteristics is the solid stem, from which its characteristic flavor is released.

Different uses of the lemongrass plant
This is one of the most versatile plants in terms of its forms of use. Gastronomy, medicine, and ornamental application are some of the fields in which citronella demonstrates effectiveness.
Digestion: Lemongrass has digestive properties, from which it derives its application for different infusions.
Gastronomy: It's a very popular ingredient in Southeast Asian cuisine to flavor meats or rice. The stem should be crushed and added to any boiled cooking, whether rice or noodles. Lemongrass is used as a base for Thai curries to season fish or vegetables.
Repellent: It has properties to repel mosquitoes, so it's used as a base for the preparation of oils for this purpose.
Aromatic: Thanks to its citrus fragrance, lemongrass is also used in perfumery and aromatherapy oils.
Cosmetic: It's used to improve oily skin and wrinkles.
Citronella candles have a dual function: to provide a nice scent and keep mosquitoes away.
Lemongrass or citronella care
This is a plant whose origin is in hot environments, so it's best suited to tropical and subtropical climates. It's in these conditions where it's most naturally cultivated. As for home care, it's important that it grows in spaces with good direct sunlight.
Temperatures should be temperate, as citronella does not tolerate frost. In the case of living in very cold areas, with temperatures below 0 degrees, it's advisable to grow it in a pot indoors. On the other hand, it requires soil that's fertilized with manure or any regular fertilizer.
During the summer months, it's advisable that the plant is outdoors, in direct contact with sunlight. In this case, it should receive frequent watering.
For the last days of the warm season, bring it indoors, but with abundant lighting. Also, reduce water levels a bit.
Ways to grow lemongrass or citronella
There are several different ways to grow a lemongrass plant for the first time. Thanks to its ease of care and growth, this plant is possible to do the deed by means of its cuttings, its stems, or its seeds. None of these options presents any major difficulties.
By stem cuttings or tillers
When the plant has reached considerable growth, it should be transplanted from the pot into the ground. At this stage, it's possible to take cuttings in order to grow a new specimen of lemongrass.
Growing lemongrass or citronella by using the stems
In addition to its application in the kitchen, the stems of the plant can be used to generate new specimens. In this case, they should be placed in a glass of water, which should receive abundant light.
Within 2 or 3 weeks, roots will begin to appear. In the meantime, the water should be renewed whenever it becomes dark.
Once the roots appear, cut the upper end of the stem and transfer it to a pot with fertilized soil. After the first two weeks, renew the substrate and fertilize it with worm castings or compost. Repeat the action twice a month and, in the meantime, water constantly.
Grow from seeds
For this method, it's advisable to have a site with plenty of light and a warm temperature. The seeds require these conditions to start growing.
In addition, it's important to start the process at the end of winter in order to take advantage of the spring months. Once the first seedlings appear, place 2 or 3 of them in a pot and bring them near a window.
When planting citronella seeds, choose the end of winter so that the warm season helps their growth.
By bush division
Another way to reproduce the plant is to multiply it through bush division. This is a very simple task that consists of separating the plant and transferring the root ball to another pot.
In this case, growth will be even faster and easier. Just apply frequent watering, fertilize the soil organically and provide good light.

Homeless Sutton couple told: mend your ways or face prison - or death
Mansfield Magistrates Court
A homeless Sutton couple who admitted stealing, missing drug tests and court appearances were given a choice between mending their ways, or ending up in jail, "or worse dead."
Kerry Ann Causer and Daniel Lynk stole perfume from Matalan, on March 26, said prosecutor Ali Zaki.
The pair admitted the theft, and a string of offences when they appeared at Mansfield Magistrates Court, last month.
Causer, 37, admitted failing to attend drug assessments on March 18 and April 1, while Lynk, 35, admitted failing to attend a drug assessment on April 5, and failing to attend court on May 16 and 30.
Chris Perry, mitigating, said they have drugs issues, but were "able to manage their misuse", and had not been stealing since the last offences.
He said the transfer of their benefits to Universal Credit had led to a build up of rent arrears, and they had lost their home on Woods Hill, Sutton.
"They are in a fragile position," he said. "They are attempting to secure accommodation outside the Ashfield area.
"They can't go to Ashfield council. They are not entirely sure what to do next."
District judge Jonathan Taaffe said: "Four weeks ago you appeared before me. I told you I would give you an opportunity to change your lives.
"In fairness to you, you have kept out of trouble. I accept that you have a chaotic lifestyle and problems with drugs.
"It is self-inflicted. You are still relatively young. If you wish to have a life at all, you will sort out the problems you have.
"If you don't, you are going to end up in prison or worse, dead. You know that and I know that."
He gave Lynk 20 weeks in prison, suspended for 12 months, but did not order costs or compensation.
Causer received 24 weeks, suspended for 12 months, and was ordered to pay a £115 government surcharge.

Do Swiss need Visa to Russia?
Yes, they do. A Swiss citizen can enter Russia only if he/she has a duly issued visa.
How to Get Russian Visa from Switzerland?
In order to obtain a visa a Swiss citizen has to apply to the embassy or consulate of the RF in Switzerland, pay a consulate fee and give in a certain set of documents (each embassy or consulate determines its own). However it must in any case contain an invitation to Russia sent to a Swiss citizen in advance.
There are several types of visas, which differ depending on the purpose of a foreigner's trip to Russia as well as on the duration of the trip.
Where to apply for a Russian visa in Switzerland?
You can obtain a visa to Russia in any of the Consulates of the Russian Federation located in Switzerland. See the list of Russian Consulates in Switzerland, along with their phone numbers and location indicated on this page below.
In order to enter Russia as a tourist a citizen of Switzerland should obtain a tourist visa and present it at the border. Tourist invitation can be issued by any tourist company which has got a reference-number. This type of invitation to visit Russia for Swiss can be made within 1 working day.
A tourist company can print the invitation on its own letterhead. It must contain its reference number, name of the company, the passport data of a tourist, his/her itinerary, dates of entry and departure, as well as the number of entries. Moreover, the embassy has the right to ask for the confirmation of the purchased air tickets, medical insurance and hotel booking.
Though it is not possible to obtain a tourist visa without a tourist invitation whilst the invitation doesn't guarantee the obtaining of a visa. The thing is the embassy holds an additional investigation to check whether the citizen of Switzerland had any previous criminal records in Russia, whether he/she has any unpaid fines and has had any deportations from Russia.
If the decision to issue a visa is positive it will be obtained for a period of up to 30 days for one or two entries to Russia.
Swiss citizens can visit someone in Russia with a guest (private) visa. For this they will need a duly issued guest invitation. The issuing of an invitation may be in charge of those whom a Swiss person is visiting or otherwise an inviting organization. In order to do this an inviting party should apply to the department of the Federal Migration Service at the place of registration with a request to issue a guest invitation for a foreigner attaching a copy of his/her passport.
Within 12-17 working days a foreigner will be checked on having any criminal records for breaking the laws of the RF or on whether he/she had any deportations from the country in the past. If any of the above are found the invitation will not be issued. If an invitation is issued the inviting party has to send it by the express-mail to Switzerland.
As one should wait for a guest invitation for a long time, many foreigners are applying for a tourist invitation and come to Russia with tourist visas in order to visit their relatives. If they want to frequently enter Russia the best way for them will be to obtain a multiple business visa. Those who have decided on a guest visa can obtain it for a period of up to 90 days for one or two entries to Russia.
If a citizen of Switzerland frequently comes to Russia on business he/she has to apply for a business visa. In order to obtain it a business invitation is required. The issuing of such an invitation is possible with the assistance of the legal entities located in Russia (it can be his/her business partners or other organizations).
First, the inviting party (if it is accredited at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of the RF) may apply to the embassy where the Swiss is planning to obtain a visa with a request to issue such a visa. The issuing of such invitation takes only 1 day.
Second, a legal entity may apply in a duly manner with a request to issue a business invitation for a certain person. In this case the issuing of the invitation to obtain a single or double visa will take 12 working days, and 17 working days for a multiple visa. This significant amount of time is required in order to check the foreigner on having any criminal records during his/her previous visits to Russia as well as having any deportations from the country.
Third, the invitation can be sent by telex. Such invitations can be issued only by governmental organizations. An invitation like this is a direction from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of the RF to issue a visa for a certain foreign citizen.
Business visa can be single, double or multiple entry. Its maximum validity period is 5 years.
If an employer who is located in Russia wants to invite a citizen of Switzerland for a job that will require a lot of paperwork. First this company has to obtain a permission to hire foreigners. Then it must obtain a permit to work in Russia for a certain foreigner. After that it has to issue a work invitation for this employee to obtain a visa. The whole procedure can take 1,5 months.
A Swiss citizen has to enter Russia within a period of three months and be registered at the migration service. Then he/she can extend the work visa for the term of his/her work permit (an employer should be responsible for that). Work visa to Russia is good for the possibility to be extended as many times as you want it, without leaving the country. But if a Swiss citizen wants to change an employer, he/she needs to leave the country and apply for a new work visa.
Work visa is issued for 3 months but can be extended after arrival to the Russian Federation.

Entertainment - "Status symbol"
Parler seen as home for far-right -- and now Kanye West
A deal by Kanye 'Ye' West to buy the Parler social network seen as a haven for far-right rhetoric comes as Tesla chief Elon Musk apparently moves forward with his purchase of Twitter, which he says should have less content moderation. / © AFP
Seen as an online home for extremist rhetoric unwelcome at established social networks, Parler won fans in the ultra-far right and an aspiring buyer in celebrity Kanye West.
The 45-year-old rapper, who now goes by the name Ye, said in a release that he wants to buy Parler to make sure that those with conservative political viewpoints "have the right to freely express ourselves."
Parler was temporarily removed from Apple and Google app stores last year for failing to moderate calls for violence after the attack on the US Capitol by supporters of former US president Donald Trump.
- 'Status symbol?' -
Parler was launched in the summer of 2018 by software engineer John Matze and Rebekah Mercer, a major Republican Party donor.
Little known until 2021, the platform caught the spotlight after Trump was ousted from Twitter due to concerns his posts would ignite more violence in his effort to overturn his election loss.

Ye's proposed takeover of Parler comes as the rapper faces accusations of racism and anti-Semitism that have resulted in restrictions placed on his Twitter and Instagram accounts.
"By owning Parler, Kanye can make sure he can say what he wants on the platform," Megan Brown and Joshua Tucker of New York University's center for social media and politics said in a note.
"Of course, it may also be that owning a social media platform is now becoming a status symbol for the outspoken ultra-rich, especially those who have run into trouble with existing platforms."
Trump launched his own social media network earlier this year, while Tesla chief Elon Musk's $44 billion deal to buy Twitter appears to be back on after his effort to back out.
- Far from Facebook -
Parler has been downloaded 8.5 million times since its launch, including 6.2 million times in the United States, according to figures from data.ai.
Only 58,000 downloads of Parler were logged in September at major app shops run by Apple and Google, compared with some 72 million downloads of Facebook during the same period.
Parler did not respond to a request for information about the platform's finances and user numbers.
Trump does not have an official account on Parler.
Ye, who opened his Parler account last week, is followed by 1,800 subscribers there while he has more than 31 million followers on Twitter and 18.2 million followers on Instagram.
- Banned for a bit -
Concerns over misinformation and rhetoric with the potential to cause real-world harm saw Apple and Google remove Parler from their rival app shops after the January 6 attack on the Capitol.
Concerns that online posts would cause people to get hurt caused social network Parler to be removed from major app shops until it tightened content moderation systems / © AFP
Amazon Web Services cloud computing platform gave similar reasoning for a decision to stop hosting Parler on its servers, effectively disabling the social media website.
Parler has since been allowed back in the App Store and Google Play shop, ostensibly after bringing its content moderation systems in line with policies at the rival tech companies.
"Google and Apple both require content moderation policies that remove illegal content including incitement to violence, which is why they were banned in the first place," Brown and Tucker said.
- Limited audience -
Parler is one of many social networks wooing ultraconservatives opposed to the notion of platforms filtering dangerously inflammatory or deceptive posts.
Parler rivals include Gettr, Gab, Rumble, and Trump's own Truth Social, which had some technical troubles after it launched in February.
Trump's social network also found itself unwelcome at Google's shop for content tailored for Android-powered mobile devices until it improved its content moderation systems.
According to a recent study by the Pew Research Center, only six percent of Americans regularly get information from one of these so-called "alternative" social media applications.

Ted Kennedy's Advice For Divided Democrats 'In Dark Passages'
Taken from Wikipedia Commons. Released by United States Navy with the ID DN-SC-90-02459
Senator Kennedy talking to sailors aboard USS Theodore Roosevelt, February 1987
Author's Note: This article is Part Two of a series of reflections on historic Democratic political speeches aimed at laying out what the author sees as the Party's fundamental historical principles. See also Part One.
The seemingly intractable debate over who will lead the Democratic National Committee shows that Democrats seem flounder when presented with multiple options for addressing a single agenda. But rare moments of unity have and could still yet yield dividends for the Party if it can clearly trumpet its working class economic message. Donald Trump has sounded downright New-Dealesque calling for infrastructure spending while slashing taxes for the rich and subsidizing the private sector. This means the party must also fight Republican attempts to parrot populist rhetoric while gutting the substance of a working-class and middle-class agenda. Here's a battle plan the late liberal lion of the Senate, Senator Edward Kennedy (D-MA) laid out when conceding to his primary opponent, then-President Jimmy Carter in 1980:
1. Turning to a policy wonk candidate to run a personality election does not end well
Kennedy early on in the speech (ironically) chided a major focus on charisma and personality. "We have learned that it is important to take issues seriously, but never to take ourselves too seriously."Hillary Clinton lost because she took #I'mWithHer more seriously than her own party platform, which her supporters hailed as one of the most progressive in history. The issues the platform took seriously involved measures that would have appealed to middle-class Americans struggling with college debt, small farmers looking for ways to make a living and protect their land, and Native Americans (also an influential Democratic constituency in red states like South Dakota, Arizona, and Montana). Instead, the campaign relied on personally attacking Donald Trump based on his personal attitudes on women and his outlandish Twitter habits, reinforcing the notion that party platforms, and issue-based campaigns in general, don't matter. As we found out in 1980, when an unpopular and tepid but dedicated nuclear submarine engineer faced off against a movie star in a campaign of emotions, the movie star triumphed decisively. Similarly in 2016, a reality-TV celebrity faced off against self-proclaimed wonk in a popularity race to the bottom.The celebrity won. It's fine to put forward candidates with a cool composure (Obama). But to resurrect their effective "Fifty-State Strategy" , Democrats must clearly communicate their issues and steer the campaign away from cults of personality. While Clinton's personality lost the election for the Democrats, the 2016 platform might not be a bad cornerstone for rebuilding if they can sell it.
2. Clearly laying out principles wins Democrats elections
President Jimmy Carter (right) with Senator Ted Kennedy in the Oval Office of the White House, December 1977.
Doublethinking and adopting your opponents' agenda does not.
"Let us pledge that we will never misuse unemployment, high interest rates, and human misery as false weapons against inflation." Echoing earlier campaign criticisms of President Jimmy Carter's fiscal conservatism, Kennedy did not hesitate to challenge his party's nominees if divisions meant a sharper message during tough economic times. He did not wish to give Ronald Reagan more ammunition to attack Carter, but he knew that sacrificing the Party's historical ties to Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal (as in fact Carter had done) would "let the great purposes of the Democratic Party become the bygone passages of history." Carter blamed Kennedy for both his legislative failures and Carter's pollster Patrick Caddell blamed the 1980 primary "civil war" for his general election loss. However, Kennedy's vision for the party, one which prioritized people even if it meant bending abstract economic laws, has proved a more effective message for Democrats, helping Obama gain reelection handily with a Carteresque economy in 2012. Conversely, Clintonian "triangulation" proved disastrous for Democratic credibility both in the 1990s and 2016 despite solid economic gains in both periods.
3. Stop letting Republicans who are repealing your programs say they can run your programs better than you
Kennedy pushed back against Reagan's 1980 acceptance speech quoting FDR to justify eliminating "useless offices" and making a "solvent" government "big or small."Accusing Republicans of shedding "crocodile tears for our economic distress" Kennedy pointed out that Reagan had decried welfare as " prepaid vacation plan for freeloaders." Against Reagan's feigned sympathy for inner cities Kennedy highlighted a Reagan's boast that "I have included in my morning and evening prayers every day the prayer that the Federal Government not bail out New York." He saved his harshest words for Reagan on Roosevelt:
And the same Republicans who are invoking Franklin Roosevelt have nominated a man who said in 1976, and these are his exact words, "Fascism was really the basis of the New Deal." And that nominee whose name is Ronald Reagan has no right to quote Franklin Delano Roosevelt... Some say that government is always bad and that spending for basic social programs is the root of our economic evils. But we reply: The present inflation and recession cost our economy 200 billion dollars a year. We reply: Inflation and unemployment are the biggest spenders of all.
Like Kennedy, Democrats must make a clear distinction between "smaller government", "bigger government", and "better government" or Republicans will make that distinction for them. Kennedy did not fear calling out Republicans for their proof-texting, and neither should Democrats...unless of course the Party of Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson has the same debt to supply-side as the Party of Reagan.
4. Seize the opportunity to fight another day
Kennedy, like Bernie Sanders, probably knew he had run his last presidential race. But that did not stop him from championing progressive policies from the congressional Democratic majorities of the 1980s through the Gingrich and Bush era conservative backlash, to the early left-centrist years of Barack Obama. In 2017 the Democrats must "find [their] faith again" to ensure that "the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die."

This made Brabham the first Australian to win the New Zealand Grand Prix, and the first of three occasions in which he would win the event.

Local hero Bruce McLaren encountered gearbox troubles before the race had even begun, joining the race half a minute behind the pack. Despite the efforts put forth by his mechanics to make this happen, he would retire four laps from the end, with the gearbox issues still plaguing his car.

I let myself get off game and sent gear out without proper insurance and backup and of course bad stuff happened.
Spent the next day completely ineffective and angry. Head spinning and thinking why would I not follow my own policies and procedures.
At heart I am a creative and while I have run businesses for a long time I always feel at home in the creative position.
I struggle now to automate a business and live a life by design and not by chance.
Oh well. I guess thats why you set up systems and follow them. I would think that after all the experience doing this I wouldn't repeat the same mistakes.

As September begins I wanted to take a quick look back at an incredible packed summer. Both with work and travel, family fun and a few trials as well.
Summer started off to a bang with a great campaign for Pure Michigan. Working with Arthur Jeon – Director and Leah Lessard Producer of Om Base Productions www.OmBaseProductions.com . We had a fantastic shoot with a great local crew in Northern Michigan. The spots turned out extremely well and I fell in love with Northern Michigan. Mackinac Island is incredible and I only wish that I could have spent more time there! Lake Michigan is also a wonder of the world, I wish I had time to dive there and see some of the wrecks and life that lies beneath its surface.
In July I started my PADI IDC – Instructor Development Course. I have been a Divemaster for a few years and thought it would be a great step for me. Hone my diving skills and learn to teach. I intend to certify a few divers and teach some great underwater photo workshops in the near future. If anyone is interested in a incredible vacation to Thailand this Winter to Dive and learn some great photography tips (as well as get a PADI Advanced Underwater Certification) send me an email!
The course was a life changing experience – 6 weekends taught through Sports Chalet in West Hills by Perry Boyer A extremely experienced Course Director and all around great guy. I went from not feeling comfortable teaching, to being ready and looking forward to enjoying the experience. The IE (instructor exam) was conducted at PADI in Rancho Santa Margarita and on Catalina Island. A bit harrowing but I passed!
One of the things I have realized is that after working in the film industry for the past 2 decades is that I have accumulated a bit of knowledge. Now I feel ready to give back. Both through instructing and a bit of charity work. Giving makes me feel very happy.
In July I also shot a great Campaign for Toyota. Shooting the 2014 4Runner. Its a fantastic Truck. Tough like you wouldn't believe and filled with some Great Hi Tech electronics. The system integrates everything from your Iphone, GPS, Satellite Radio / internet, maps, etc. The off road capability is incredible as well. It has some great functions that make traveling difficult terrain a breeze. This Project was directed by Chris Nolan and produced by Laurie Nolan at 90.000ft. http://90000feet.com/Home_-_Recent_Work.html They are a team I truly enjoy working with and have done many projects with over the past several years.
The location at CSUN was amazing – a new sports facility that opened last year. Perfect to show off the new training methods Paul is introducing to the world.
After I finished the Katami job I took a road trip with Arwen, Aidan and Rob Gosch through Arizona and the Grand Canyon, down to UFO land at Roswell New Mexico and across the West Texas Oil Field to see Ethan Gosch graduate 8 months of intensive Army training – At an Airforce base. I am extremely proud of Ethan and now he makes his way to Germany and beyond to help keep America secure. I wish him safety and a fantastic experience in Europe. The road trip continued with a stop to survive a tornado that landed as we were getting food at Rallys at the Texas/New Mexico Border. The kids were scared but we survived the winds and golf ball sized hail. My gopro was running in the car so I'll post some footage soon. We continued on stopping to visit Rob's childhood friend in Albuquerque NM and a quick jaunt up to Santa Fe to check out the Art galleries there. From there we drove to the Painted Desert (frigging beautiful) and the Petrified Forest. Wood into stone is amazing.
On to September — A feature film starting and tons of prep!!!!
I work at a crossroads. Photography, Diving, Flying, Writing, all come together in a type of confusion that I want to sort into synergy. Images have ruled my life since childhood. A TV Addict I have stopped paying for cable, A movie addict I only attend with Children. I want to always expand my knowledge and boundaries, spending my time thought energy on learning and practicing new skills combined with exploration. I have a lived a life less traveled and mostly documenting the world around me. Its a good feeling as I approach the halfway point. All is unknown like a brilliant shining star, but a path exists that I will make on this next part of the journey. I can't Wait!!!!

Balut is a game played for fun in teams or as groups of players, where the objective is to accumulate the greatest number of points over seven 'rounds' of play. At tournament level it is usual to play on tables of four, but Balut can be played with any reasonable number of players. The game set out below is known as the STC version of Balut, after the Singapore Town Club where these rules were adopted in 1978, and is played across dozens of Members' Clubs and bars across SE Asia. The International Balut Federation plays a different version.
Your require five standard dice, a pot or other receptacle for throwing the dice, a mat or other flat surface to play on and a score pad (see FAQ for sample) and pencil.
Each player in turn throws the dice up to three times. After each throw the player may take one or more die out of play or return one or more dice back into play. Once a die has been put back in the pot, however, it may not be taken out. At the end of three throws, or earlier if the player decides, the sum of pips on dice that remain (from the last throw and those out of play) are that round's score.
The score pad has seven rows and each row can be scored once and once only. If at the end of three throws the player has no score then one row must be 'scratched', that is deleted and not played for again. All scores are the sum of the pips on the dice, except Balut, which always scores 30 points. The scoring rows are:
4 - Any combination of fours (4,8,12 etc)
5 - Any combination of fives (5,10,15 etc)
6 - Any combination of sixes (6,12,18 etc)
Straight - A line of 1-2-3-4-5 scoring 15 or 2-3-4-5-6 scoring 20.
House - Three of one number and two of another: for example 3x6 and 2x5 scoring 28 or 3x1 and 2x2 scoring 7
Choice - The sum of all the pips
Balut - Five of any one number, always scoring 30
One player, designated as scorer, records the scores in a column on the score pad.
After the first player throws the second player throws and after the last player, the dice return to the first player and this continues until each player has thrown six rounds - each time scoring or scratching one of the rows - this leaves us with one vacant row against each player, or what we call 'Half Time'.
At 'Half Time' the scorer announces the scores so far for each player and what they have left to score. The round is then thrown and the scorer announces the scores.
If, after the dice are thrown, they do not lie flat on the mat, or designated surface, or they leave the mat, then the throw is deemed to be 'cocked' and the throw must be retaken.
Whilst Balut can be played for just fun it more usual to play in competitions and tournaments. In SE Asia the main international tournament is the STC Interport Balut Competition, which in 2010 is in its 30th year of play. Individual countries and clubs have their own tournaments: for example the British Club Bangkok has the Balut Cup played for once a year and the Balut Shield awarded for the best player over the Club's twice monthly tournaments.

British PM Johnson Warns Stores to Stockpile Food in Advance of No-Brexit
By Rick Moran Dec 13, 2020 12:58 PM ET
Lindsey Parnaby / Pool via AP
Trade talks between Great Britain and the European Union are near collapse and are not likely to yield a deal anytime soon. On Sunday, the parties extended the talks but with the two sides so far apart on many issues, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been warning businesses to prepare for a no-Brexit business climate.
Leaving the EU was always going to be difficult but few Brexit supporters could have foreseen the chaos that's about to envelop Great Britain on the land, sea, and in the air.
The UK could experience shortages of vegetables and other goods it sources heavily from Europe for months to come, the Sunday Times reported, with prices for consumers likely to soar due to newly-imposed EU tariffs.
UK shops are already experiencing shortages and delays due to congestion at ports caused by Brexit stockpiling.
Representatives from the UK toy industry told Business Insider this week that many popular children's toys will be unavailable to consumers this Christmas because of the delays.
The ports are clogged with shipping as manufacturers are trying to get their cargo unloaded before the deadline. And it isn't only tariffs that will be a bother.
If no deal is agreed, it would be forced to trade with the bloc according to rules set out by the World Trade Organization. That would mean new tariffs and other barriers, such as regulatory checks and paperwork.
The British PM said his government will continue to try to reach a trade deal, but warned there may not be a resolution by the January 1 deadline. "I do think there is a deal to be done but we remain far apart on key issues.:
"And we have to take back control of our fisheries," Johnson said.
Those fisheries are one of the key issues of contention that need to be settled before a deal can be reached. Johnson has ordered the Royal Navy to protect UK waters from the fishing boats of other EU countries.
The Royal Navy says it won't be shooting at the vessels, only intercepting them and "escorting" them out of UK waters. But it underscores the seriousness with which the UK government is treating the idea of a no-Brexit deal.
The bad economics of Brexit had always been expected, but these results are worse than pre-Brexit vote analyses predicted.
The UK Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) estimates that a no-deal Brexit would knock off £40 billion ($53 billion), or 2%, of the UK's economic output in 2021, and leave more than 300,000 people unemployed by the second half of next year.
However, the OBR said in November that even if London and Brussels can reach a deal, their new trading relationship is expected to lead to a long-run loss of output of around 4% compared to Britain remaining in the European Union.
The short term will be brutal for Great Britain but the picture brightens in the near future. Not having the EU as a drag to its economy should lead to higher growth and employment in five years. The dislocations today are temporary. Great Britain will eventually ink a trade deal with the EU and the United States, which will ease those dislocations substantially.
Ten years from now, will people in England see Brexit favorably? I don't think they'll be able to tell the difference economically, but the sense of nationhood will be stronger. And that's something to celebrate.

Bucks' NBA D-League team announces name
Back in February, the Milwaukee Bucks announced that Oshkosh, Wisconsin would be the home of the organization's new NBA D-League affiliate.
As ground was broken on a new downtown Oshkosh arena and the parent franchise geared up for a playoff appearance, speculation swirled regarding what the newest NBA Developmental League organization was to be called. The team solicited ideas from fans, and we even tossed a few suggestions out there.
Thursday, the D-League organization announced in a press release that the team will be called…Wisconsin Herd. According to the team, "The Wisconsin Herd name reflects the Bucks brand while representing the Bucks as a statewide organization from the top down."
Season tickets for the Herd's 2017-18 season are on sale now.

Posturing
Edited by Holly Hay, Shonagh Marshall. Introduction and interviews by Shonagh Marshall.
Rejecting hypersexualized glamour, Posturing celebrates aesthetic oddness
A book about a new movement in fashion photography, Posturing shows how 21 contemporary fashion photographers use the body and its positioning to tell new stories in new ways. Through 58 photographs, plus interviews with photographers, stylists, set designers and commissioning editors, Posturing shows how this trend is changing the way that fashion is presented.
Edited by Holly Hay, photography director at Wallpaper, and fashion curator Shonagh Marshall, Posturing celebrates aesthetic oddness in a style of photography that rejects the hyper-sexualized body and celebrity-driven, glamour-obsessed vision of fashion that has glorified naked consumerism. This is a style that is changing traditional ideas of clothing, casting and images, also recontextualizing what the body means to fashion, and what fashion can mean to the body. Posturing is a record of that change and this new movement, capturing the voices and visions of those most integral to creating it.
Photographers include Andrea Artemisio, Bibi Cornejo Borthwick, Blommers & Schumm, Brianna Capozzi, Casper Sejersen, Charlie Engman, Charlotte Wales, Coco Capitán, Estelle Hanania, Hanna Moon, Johnny Dufort, Joyce Ng, Lena C. Emery, Mark Peckmezian, Marton Perlaki, Pascal Gambarte, Reto Schmid, Suffo Moncloa, Tim Elkaïm, Tyrone Lebon and Zoë Ghertner.

Invisiblegirl Archive
The inspiration behind the name of Invisiblegirl Records and Music Publishing. Having witnessed some of the recording sessions at Strawberry Studios in and around 1980, including the session musician phenomena, their invisibility and importance.
The Invisible Girls
Martin and Steves group of session musicians, regularly called upon to help with Martins recording sessions and various compositions (most active 1977 to 1982). Steve said 'The Invisible Girls could be seen as a chameleon-like wrapper for a number of projects'.
They were:
Martin Hannett - playing bass guitar, programming beat box's and synths. The record producer.
https://youtu.be/xP9jV1Mxj9c
Steve Hopkins - piano and keyboards. Steve had equal status to Martin in The Invisible Girls and attended most related sessions as musician, composer and sometimes production. He is currently known as Doctor (of Physics) Stephen Hopkins and has worked in this field for some time.
https://youtu.be/OmhLfGWTjlU
Dave Hassell - well known session musician. Percussion. Now teaches as well as playing in a number of live bands. Plays drums with Stevie Williams Most Wanted Band at present.
Paul Burgess - Drums. Played and toured with 10CC, who founded the studio Hannett loved to work in. Paul plays in numerous groups and also works as a session musician.
John Scott - Guitar. John has played in many groups over the years including Gerry And The Holograms.
Lyn Oakey - Guitar. Well known session musician and attended most of the Invisible Girls sessions. Listed here on John Cooper Clarke album Disguise in Love. Also listed as playing in Chris Sieveys group (Frank Sidebottom), along with other members of The Invisible Girls!
Vini Reilly - Guitar. Vini worked on a number of Invisible Girls projects. He is singer/songwriter in long established group The Durutti Column.
Pete Shelley - Guitar. Singer/songwriter with Buzzcocks.
Dave Formula - Keyboards. Played in Magazine after Martin suggested him for keyboards. Worked with numerous bands and currently runs his recording studio in Lincolnshire called The Sweet Factory!.

John Cooper Clarke - Vocals, Martin Hannett - Bass Guitar. Steve Hopkins - Piano. Paul Burgess - Drums. Vini Reilly - Electric Guitar. Lyn Oakey - Tambourine and Electric Guitar. Dave Formula - Synth.
Kudos to musicians who performed live as The Invisible Girls when session musicians weren't available and had Martin and Steves endorsement. They include Robert Balmire - bass guitar (husband of Pauline Murray), toured with Pauline Murray and The Invisible Girls and continues to tour with her group Penetration playing bass guitar.
One John Cooper Clarke UK tour: Pete Barrett -keyboards, Ronnie Poole - bass guitar, Jim Morrison - guitar (no not that one), Dave Buck - drums. On John Cooper Clarkes third album Zip Style Method Steve was in charge of production for some of the album in Martins absence and brought in: Richard Darbyshire - guitar, Trevor Spencer - drums, Stevie Williams - bass. Martin brought in Toby - drums.

Out there: Australians will be among the first people in the world to see the F-Type in the metal on Jaguar's Sydney motor show stand just weeks after its world debut at Paris.
JAGUAR'S new F-Type sportscar has emerged with styling almost unchanged from the C-X16 concept that debuted at the Frankfurt motor show a year ago – apart from the switch from coupe to soft-top convertible.
The first official image, showing the F-Type in three colour and trim combinations, spread across the internet overnight after being leaked in the US ahead of the next week's world debut at the Paris motor show and subsequent unveiling at the Sydney show on October 18.
With the F-Type's modern – if a little conservative – design, Jaguar has resisted the temptation to reference its classic E-Type, even dropping the oval grille design that has linked the British company's sportscars over the decades.
Understandably the production car – expected to arrive in local showrooms soon after its mid-2013 European launch – gets larger door mirrors and rides slightly higher over smaller wheels that do not over-fill the arches.
Meanwhile, the interior appears to have been toned down from the garish crimson concept cabin with its race-style bucket seats, which have been replaced by a still-sporty pair of pews featuring faux-racing harness apertures.
A choice of three engines has been confirmed for the lightweight aluminium rear-drive two-seater, comprising a new 3.0-litre supercharged V6 in 250kW and 280kW tunes, plus a derivative of Jaguar Land Rover's supercharged 5.0-litre V8 that produces 380kW in the XF, XJ and XK.
There is no official word on a production version of the hot V6-based hybrid that powered the concept, which Jaguar said could yield similar performance to the $340,000 XKR-S but use half the fuel.
A coupe variant is expected to emerge in 2014 and is likely to share the CX-16 concept's roof line, which flows right to the rear of the car – but the access to the boot is likely to be via a conventional tailgate rather than the concept's unusual side-hinged rear window design.
