BiB019: Sukhumvit Noir With Jake Needham
2021-05-06 2017-03-10 by Karsten Aichholz
Back before the TripAdvisor was around, people experienced Thailand in different ways. Jake Needham got his first idea of the country while a CIA agent drove him around the poppy fields surrounding Chiang Mai in the early 1970s. It was a trip that was quickly followed by his first job offer to work as a lawyer in Bangkok in 1974. He turned it down. But as it turned out, it was a sign of things to come.
More than 40 years later, Jake Needham can look back on a career in law, movie production and writing that often brought him back to the land of smiles and former poppy fields time and time again. His best-selling book 'The Big Mango' counted several hundred thousand readers, among them James Gandolfini, star of the HBO show The Sopranos who was working on a movie adaption featuring no one less than himself in the lead role.
Sometimes things go different as planned. It's also a theme in Jake's other books: Two very distinct crime fiction series of his take readers on a trip around the region. Following either American expatriate Jack Shepherd or Singaporean police officer Samuel Tay, they immerse readers in the world of Asian metropoles rarely featured so well.
In this interview Jake gives an insight not only on how he perceives writing itself but shares his criticism of an over-romantic description of the profession. It is safe to say that his down to earth attitude about the process and how he manages to put a degree of separation between himself and his completed work might not be what a great many fans expect. That might not be the only thing his fans don't expect though.
Jake's relationship with Thailand's inhabitants – both the local and the foreign kind – hasn't always been an easy one to describe. He himself feels there is a changing attitude that he can sense during his stays in Thailand. It's change he even sees in the shifting type of hate mail he has been receiving over his active years as a novelist. In this interview he voices his sometimes very polarizing thoughts on the culture and education of his host country, but also expresses a strong admiration for the hard work displayed by many of its inhabitants.
It's not just Thailand that Jake reflects on. He shares what he believes was essential to his success as a writer. It's probably not what you expect to hear, and for many aspiring novelists it may certainly not be what they want to hear.
It is one of the more controversial podcast episodes I've done so far and I'd love to hear your thoughts about it in the comments!

Thanks Karsten. That was a really interesting interview with a couple of fresh takes on Bangkok for me.
The "Love it or leave" attitude still seems to be strong among expats in Thailand, even if they don't write hate letters anymore 😉
Thanks Florian :). In terms of expat population in Bangkok (and other cities in Thailand), I think this French election result breakdown makes for an interesting read: https://twitter.com/farangsta/status/856710009068994560

Incoherent rambling from the interviewer tacked on at the end. Seems Jakes's opinions were not the same as his. I for one don't give a rat's ass about a former "gamer"s outlook on life.
Great interesting interview. I've been in Bangkok since '94 and agree with Jake and am confused /curious what Karsten's monolog at end was about?!? It adds nothing and almost ruins a good interview.
Jake was indeed a great interviewee and I enjoyed listening to the recounting of his experiences. I agree with him on there being major issues with the education system in Thailand as well as a number of other critical thoughts he has about the country. Where I found myself disagreeing a lot was when it comes to 'Thais not liking anybody'. I thought that's a statement that's so broad that I felt it was inaccurate.
As for the 'monologue': I'm not a journalist and this podcast is mostly a hobby. It's a lot of work and in many cases I receive very limited feedback. One area I tend to think about is whether I make interviews 'too soft'. I wanted to share my thoughts about the interview and encourage people to comment – mostly so I have a better idea on how to handle this in the future. On the other hand I figured it may be interesting to some regular listeners to get a bit more of a look at the thoughts that go into making an episode.

In a speech, South Korean Unification Minister Zhao Mingjun said that the joint liaison office is a symbol of peace created by the North and the South, and a window for the DPRK to keep in touch at any time in the new era of peace. He hoped that it would become a cradle of national common prosperity.
Officials from north and South Korea jointly held the inauguration ceremony for the office. Zhao Mingjun and Li Shanquan subsequently jointly signed an agreement on the composition and operation of the joint liaison office.
On April 27 this year, South Korean President Wen Jae-in and North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un issued the Panmunjom Declaration after their meeting in Panmunjom, announcing that the two sides will strive for the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and the transition of the peace and order mechanism. The Korea-DPRK Joint Liaison Office is the first joint liaison office in Korean history established in accordance with the agreement of the Panmunjom Declaration. It is located in the Kaesong Industrial Park of Korea. The head of the office is Qian Haicheng, vice-minister of the Ministry of Unification, and the head of the office is Tian Zhongxiu, vice-chairman of the Peaceful Unification Commission of the motherland.
According to the South Korean Unification Ministry, the Joint Liaison Office will perform the functions of inter-Korean contacts and negotiations, inter-governmental talks and consultations, non-governmental exchanges and assistance, and facilitate the exchange of personnel between the two Koreas. The DPRK will also discuss the implementation of the Panmunjom Declaration on the connection and modernization of Railways and highways between the North and the South, and on the cooperation between the mountains and forests.
Li Shanquan, chairman of the peaceful reunification Committee of the DPRK, first made a speech. He said the start-up of the Joint Liaison Office was a fruitful result of the nutrients provided by the people of North and South China. The office can discuss the problems of North-South relations openly and seek countermeasures, thus actively promoting the development of North-South relations and striding forward to peace, prosperity and reunification of the Korean peninsula.

Midweek update 11th - 13th December.
Good afternoon everyone.
As mentioned on Monday, there was a YouGov Poll due for release and it has shown the Tori lead shrink but still showing a majority which is why we have seen a dip in Sterling exchange rates but not by too much. "Over the last fortnight we've seen the Conservative lead and the number of seats they are projected to win gradually fall. There are two days until polls close and time for voters to change their minds," says Anthony Wells, Director of Political and Social Research at YouGov.
With the likelihood of a hung parliament slightly higher, this scenario would increase the risk that the UK could crash out of the EU on the 31st of January, which is why this would trigger a significant weakening of GBP initially. However this would only be in the short term until we saw what possible coalition could be formed and what their plan would be for Brexit. We could easily see a more positive long-term story if the UK is able to form a coalition and the EU accepts an extension, which would make a second referendum an option.
We've mentioned in the past that these Polls have historically not been accurate and after all, they were wrong in estimating the Brexit referendum outcome back in 2016, as well as the results of the 2017 election. As for the Pound, we repeat that the risks surrounding a hung Parliament and anyone with upcoming exchanges should speak with their broker to discuss making a possible exchange before the result on Friday morning.
There are no economic data releases of note in the UK, or the Eurozone. In the US, the November CPI is forecast to show a small rise in annual headline inflation to 2.0% (from 1.8% in October), while the core reading is expected to hold at 2.3%. For now the Fed remains more concerned that its preferred inflation measure is still below target.

Fed's Powell Admits a Bigger Bailout for Wall Street Is Coming; Fed's Balance Sheet Ballooned by $176 Billion Since September
By Pam Martens and Russ Martens: October 9, 2019 ~
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell Speaking at the National Association of Business Economists on October 8, 2019
Yesterday, at a speaking event in Denver at the National Association of Business Economists, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell acknowledged that a larger, long-term bailout of Wall Street is coming. His two key points were buried in a subterfuge of puffery but came across loud and clear: "…my colleagues and I will soon announce measures to add to the supply of reserves over time." And this: "As we indicated in our March statement on balance sheet normalization, at some point, we will begin increasing our securities holdings to maintain an appropriate level of reserves. That time is now upon us."
Let that final statement sink in for a moment. Under the previous Federal Reserve Chair, Janet Yellen, balance sheet normalization at the Federal Reserve meant reducing the Fed's unprecedented $4.5 trillion balance sheet to get back to something near pre-crisis levels. Under Powell, normalization now means increasing the Fed's balance sheet to as yet undefined heights.
The Fed's balance sheet had been bloated to the unprecedented level of $4.5 trillion by buying up bonds from Wall Street's teetering banks during the financial crisis. The Fed likes to give its Wall Street bailouts fancy names to disguise their real purpose. This one was called Quantitative Easing or QE. From November 2008 until October 2014, the Fed deployed three rounds of QE – QE1, QE2 and QE3. The final one was known on Wall Street as QE-Infinity since it appeared to be open-ended.
On January 7, 2008, the Fed's balance sheet stood at $881 billion. By 2015 and three rounds of QE it had spiraled out of control to $4.5 trillion. Yellen started her normalization program to shrink the Fed's balance sheet in October 2017 by eliminating rolling over the Fed's maturing Treasury securities and principal payments on agency mortgage-backed securities that the Fed had bought up from Wall Street banks. Powell's Federal Reserve stopped that runoff this past August. The Fed is back to reinvesting its maturing bonds into new bonds to once again balloon its balance sheet.
On top of that, beginning on September 17 of this year, the Fed has been funneling hundreds of billions of dollars a week in revolving loans to Wall Street securities firms (primary dealers) by intervening in the repurchase agreement (repo) market. Between September 11 and September 30, the Fed's balance sheet has exploded by $176 billion – in just 19 days – to a total of $3.9 trillion. (See graph below from the Federal Reserve.)
As recently as June 13 of last year, Powell was of a very different mind. During his press conference on that date, Powell explained the normalization schedule, stating: "…our program for reducing our balance sheet, which began in October, is proceeding smoothly. Barring a material and unexpected weakening in the outlook, this program will proceed on schedule, and our balance sheet will continue to shrink."
Since Powell is no longer shrinking the Fed's balance sheet but dramatically expanding it, we should take him at his word at that press conference and conclude that there has been an "unexpected weakening in the outlook," despite the fact that he continues to put a rosy spin on the U.S. economy in his speeches.
The Federal Reserve has clearly known for months that what it was planning to do to bail out the financial system again was not going to be popular with the American people and that it was likely to come under heavy fire from some members of Congress. So on February 25 it launched a public relations campaign called "Fed Listens." It describes its listening tour around the country like this:
"At the Fed, we're currently reviewing our monetary policy strategy to find out if there are ways it could be improved to achieve the goals assigned to us by law. To make sure we consider a broad range of views from the public we serve, we're holding Fed Listens events in diverse locations across the U.S. These events will focus on communities where, despite a strong economy, people are struggling to keep pace."
The Fed knows very well that people are struggling today to keep pace because from December 2007 to July 2010 it secretly pumped a cumulative $29 trillion to bail out Wall Street mega banks and the foreign banks that were counterparties to their wild derivative schemes. A significant portion of the Fed loans were offered at interest rates below 1 percent when some of these banks were teetering or outright insolvent and couldn't have borrowed in the open market at even 10 percent. While the Fed was spewing its generosity on Wall Street miscreants who had brought on their own collapse through corrupt subprime and derivatives dealings, the Fed remained silent as these same Wall Street banks under its supervision charged struggling households high double-digit interest rates on credit cards; foreclosed on millions of homes leaving entire neighborhoods blighted; profited from side bets they had made that their own designed-to-fail mortgage bonds would collapse; and then paid themselves billions of dollars in bonuses from taxpayer bailout funds.
Nothing better illustrates the cronyism between Wall Street and the New York Fed, which, then and now, carries out the majority of the Federal Reserve's bailout programs for Wall Street, than a passage from Neil Barofsky's book, Bailout: An Inside Account of How Washington Abandoned Main Street While Rescuing Wall Street. Barofsky had been the Special Inspector General of the taxpayer bailout program known as TARP or Troubled Asset Relief Program. In his book he writes about U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner who failed up to that position after negligently supervising the mega banks on Wall Street as the President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Barofsky writes about Geithner's sick plan to "foam the runway" for the Wall Street banks:
"For a good chunk of our allotted meeting time, Elizabeth Warren grilled Geithner about HAMP, barraging him with questions about how the program was going to start helping home owners. In defense of the program, Geithner finally blurted out, 'We estimate that they can handle ten million foreclosures, over time,' referring to the banks. 'This program will help foam the runway for them.'
"A lightbulb went on for me. Elizabeth had been challenging Geithner on how the program was going to help home owners, and he had responded by citing how it would help the banks. Geithner apparently looked at HAMP as an aid to the banks, keeping the full flush of foreclosures from hitting the financial system all at the same time. Though they could handle up to '10 million foreclosures' over time, any more than that, or if the foreclosures were too concentrated, and the losses that the banks might suffer on their first and second mortgages could push them into insolvency, requiring yet another round of TARP bailouts. So HAMP would 'foam the runway' by stretching out the foreclosures, giving the banks more time to absorb losses while the other parts of the bailouts juiced bank profits that could then fill the capital holes created by housing losses."
As a direct result of Federal Reserve policies during the financial crisis, the United States of America is experiencing its worst income and wealth inequality since the late 1920s – another era when Wall Street had gained control of the levers of power in Washington.

Kansas signs 11 contracts to embark on more aggressive COVID-19 testing strategy
Shawnee, Douglas counties tighten restrictions as infection rates soar
Gov. Laura Kelly entrusted the state's massive expansion of COVID-19 testing to 11 contractors that agreed to collaborate on a $50 million program to better pinpoint COVID-19 cases and bolster isolation of infected people. (Sherman Smith/Kansas Reflector)
TOPEKA — The state of Kansas signed 11 contracts with University of Kansas Health System, Wichita State University and a collection of businesses to implement robust statewide expansion of COVID-19 testing to more rapidly identify and isolate infected people.
Gov. Laura Kelly said each would contribute to a more coordinated testing strategy starting next week that was based on assigned responsibility for testing in specific populations and counties. The project is financed with approximately $45 million in federal funding.
"Kansas is at a critical point with COVID-19," the governor said. "Until a vaccine is widely available, one of the most important strategies to protect Kansans and ensure a promising economy is to increase testing."
Lee Norman, secretary of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said wearing masks, improving testing capacity and isolating people infected with COVID-19 was the best approach during the pandemic as long as there is no approved vaccine. (Sherman Smith/Kansas Reflector)
The unified testing strategy endorsed by Kelly and legislators on the State Finance Council envisions broader routine screening of Kansans and better coordination of public and private testing activity.
The plan required access to additional testing supplies, transportation resources and laboratory capacity. The goal is to get test results to people within 48 hours so they could be promptly isolated.
The state entered contracts with Freestate Logistics, Clinical Reference Labs, MAWD Pathology Group, Quest Dynamics, Sinochips Diagnostics, NICUSA, Well Health, 4M, KU Health Systems and WSU. The value of the agreements wasn't released by the governor's office.
"When combined with wearing face masks, extensive testing — along with isolating those who are positive and quarantining close contacts — poses the most probable fighting opportunity to stop the COVID-19 pandemic, especially as we head into the winter months," said Lee Norman, secretary of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
New county limits
A pair of Kansas counties with a combined 300,000 residents moved to shrink the size of public gatherings Friday and reinforce wearing of masks as the state's major teaching hospital began postponing elective surgeries and turned away more patients due to rapid community spread of COVID-19.
Shawnee County's emergency health order sought to answer the coronavirus surge by reducing to 10 the maximum number of people allowed at mass gatherings. Slashing of the previous 25-person cap until Dec. 14 was paired with a new rule holding restaurants to the standard already imposed on bars limiting customers to 50% of total.
In addition, the county said the maximum number of people at weddings and other private events would be cut to 100 from the previous 500-person barrier. The order also urged employers to allow personnel to work remotely from home if feasible.
Gianfranco Pezzino, the Shawnee County health officer, imposed tighter restrictions Friday on mass gatherings in the county in an attempt to stem the rapid community spread of COVID-19. (Screenshot from virtual briefing/Kansas Reflector)
Gianfranco Pezzino, the Shawnee County health officer, said changes were warranted in response to clear evidence of dramatic COVID-19 transmission. Incidence of coronavirus in the county had escalated from 345 two weeks ago to more than 600 in both of the past two weeks.
"The number of cases we are seeing every week is skyrocketing," he said. "The only way out of this crisis is to reduce community transmission."
In Douglas County, public health officers responded to comparable expansion of the caseload by tightening limits Friday on mass gatherings to no more than 15 people, down from the previous ceiling of 45. The county is maintaining a mask mandate applicable to people older than five years of age in all indoor public spaces, except when eating, drinking, swimming or if dealing with a medical issue.
The eastern Kansas county anchored by Lawrence reported a spike to 13.8% in COVID-19 positivity rate, which was three times the October rate. There's been a surge in the daily number of new cases to 44, up substantially from 17 cases per day in October.
"We believe this spike is due to people letting their guards down with lapses in mask wearing, attending social gatherings that allow for transmission of COVID-19 and people who are experiencing symptoms being out in the public instead of self-isolating to reduce the chances for exposing others," said Tom Marcellino, a Douglas County health officer.
He said it was essential people recommit hemselves to fundamentals of wearing a mask, social distancing and personal hygiene.
Caseload expanding
Officials with Garden City imposed a public mask mandate in wake of action by Lyon and Jefferson counties to embrace mask orders. Only 20 of 105 counties agreed to enforce the statewide mask order issued in July by the governor, but opposition to her strategy has softened as the virus deepened its impact on the state.
In the latest seven-day period, KDHE reported, the average daily increase in cases was 2,430, daily growth in deaths was 18 and daily expansion of hospitalizations was 38.
KDHE is scheduled to release an update Friday of the overall toll since March, but the Wednesday figures were 109,000 cases, 1,200 deaths and 2,400 hospitalizations.
A Kansas Hospital Association survey indicated at least one dozen of the 30 Wichita area hospitals anticipated staffing shortages in the upcoming week and that less than 10% of intensive-care unit beds for adults were open.
KU Health System based in Kansas City, Kansas, began postponing elective surgeries Thursday to carve out bed space for COVID-19 patients requiring hospitalization. KU Health System's space and staffing crunch also prompted denial of requests from out-of-state facilities to transfer patients to Kansas.
Dana Hawkinson, medical director of infection prevention and control at KU Health System, said the idea of "COVID parties" for children in an effort to develop herd immunity as "an extremely bad idea that needs to stop."
He said the coronavirus was nothing like chicken pox because herd immunity required 70% to 80% of the population with a disease. But 2% to 3% of the population has COVID-19, he said, with much more devastating results.

United States Attorneys General
MIL-OSI Security: Dominican National Convicted of Heroin and Fentanyl Trafficking
BOSTON – A Dominican national was convicted yesterday by a federal jury in Boston in relation to the seizure of over 10 kilograms of fentanyl and heroin in December 2018.
Carlos Soto-Villar, 34, a Dominican national formerly residing in Lawrence, was convicted by a jury of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute one kilogram or more of heroin and 400 grams or more of fentanyl. U.S. District Court Judge Patti B. Saris scheduled sentencing for Jan. 27, 2021.
According to the trial testimony, on Dec. 6, 2018, Soto-Villar supplied a kilogram of fentanyl to co-defendant Ana Caraballo. The kilogram of fentanyl was later seized by police on Dec. 7, 2018. A search at the Methuen apartment used by Soto-Villar and co-defendant Angel Valdez as a drug stash house, resulted in the seizure of over nine kilograms of fentanyl and heroin and drug processing equipment. Soto-Villar fled from the apartment and was apprehended a short distance away.
The operation was conducted by a multi-agency task force through the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF), a partnership between federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. The principal mission of the OCDETF program is to identify, disrupt and dismantle the most serious drug trafficking, weapons trafficking and money laundering organizations, and those primarily responsible for the nation's illegal drug supply. More information on the OCDETF program is available here: https://www.justice.gov/ocdetf/about-ocdetf.
Soto-Villar faces a sentence of at least 10 years and up to life in prison, at least five years and up to a lifetime of supervised release and a fine of up to $10,000,000. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based on the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
U.S. Attorney Lelling and Brian D. Boyle, Special Agent in Charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration New England Field Division made the announcement. Assistance was also provided by the Massachusetts State Police and the Methuen Police Department. AUSA Linda M. Ricci, Chief of Lelling's Narcotics and Money Laundering Unit, and Katherine Ferguson, Deputy Chief of the Narcotics and Money Laundering Unit, are prosecuting the case.

Q: PhP's Mail Function Displays my CPanel Login Information I am sending an e-mail from my php code when certain events occur (i.e., someone posts a reply to a message on my message board). I used this simple code:
mail (me@aol.com, 'Someone Just Posted a Reply.', 'Check the message board, because someone just posted a reply.');

The code executes and I do receive an e-mail.  The problem is that when I get the e-mail, the "from" line in the e-mail gives away my cpanel login for my GoDaddy hosting account. I cannot seem to find anything on GoDaddy's site that explains how to disguise this or change this to just reflect the name of my website rather than give away my login to all users every time I send a push notification.

A: You have to use the headers in the PHP's mail() function's additional_headers parameters to add more stuff, but this may possibly cause deliverability issues.

This is typically used to add extra headers (From, Cc, and Bcc). Multiple extra headers should be separated with a CRLF (\r\n). If outside data are used to compose this header, the data should be sanitized so that no unwanted headers could be injected.

With above being said, your updated code should look something like:
<?php
  $headers = array(
    'From' => 'webmaster@example.com',           // Add your from address.
    'Reply-To' => 'webmaster@example.com',       // Add your reply to address.
    'X-Mailer' => 'PHP/' . phpversion()          // Optional stuff.
  );
  mail(
    "me@aol.com",
    "Someone Just Posted a Reply.",
    "Check the message board, because someone just posted a reply.",
    $headers // This way
  );

Note: Make sure the above code is written in a single line.

InputErr0r
Input Err0r was a two player video game installation displayed at the Massey College of Creative arts "Time and Space" exhibition in 2017.
Two players are given a set of four different controllers, with the common goal collecting a set amount of point coins. Though the task may appear simple, the real challenge lies outside of the screen - the controllers. The players must find their way around four controllers of differing brands, layouts, and eras. Two of these controllers sport a full array of buttons, as well as directional analog sticks; these will be used at the as the base Player 1 and Player 2 controllers, playing host to the look and walk controls. The other two Controllers have their set buttons, including their D-Pads mapped to be used at points throughout the level. As the players navigate the level they will find themselves searching for the right buttons on the right controller, sometimes this will be a button on the controller they are currently using, but more often the button will be located on one of the three other controllers (Even the controllers the other player is using). The use of many unfamiliar buttons is intended to draw the player out of an immersive video game experience, forcing them to analyze the physical space in front of them, as well as the virtual space behind the screen.
The game was a 'functioning technical demonstration' and took some tinkering to set-up correctly, but if you would like to give it a go it can be downloaded here

The storefront is, of course, where you can purchase the book.


Join your colleagues at our Thursday, January 26th chapter meeting (new date).
Over the past year in our chapter meetings, we have learned methods to improve requirements elicitation skills, cultivating winning relationships, influencing project sponsors and stakeholders, and techniques to gather requirements quickly. Here's your opportunity to put your learning and skills to the test!
This chapter meeting will be a hands-on requirements elicitation and elaboration workshop. During this chapter meeting we will be briefly reviewing key requirements elicitation and elaboration skills, then putting them to the test in several small workshop groups to elicit the key requirements for a pre-defined project, and then elaborating them in a little detail. Members of the leadership committee will be acting as project stakeholders for each workshop group. Each group must then interview their assigned business stakeholder from the leadership committee, and elicit the key business requirements and then elaborate them a bit.
Be forewarned that these business stakeholders will try to act like real business stakeholders which do not always make it easy or clear as to what they really need, which should make this a little more challenging and interesting!
The project for which the requirements will be elicited have been pre-defined by the chapter leadership committee, but will only be revealed to each workshop team to the extent that they can elicit them, and then elaborate them as time permits.
What we can let you know ahead of time, is that the project we will be elaborating requirements for is a new system for an internet services company to support efforts to upsell high speed internet services to existing customers who currently use the company's lower speed internet access service or who are not using our company for their internet access.
At the end of the session we will come back together a single group and compare notes between each of the workshop groups to see which group came the closest to eliciting all the key pre-defined project business requirements, and essential details.
This should be a very interesting and educational exercise to see how well each group does in extracting business requirements from their stakeholder, and see what might have been missed and lessons learned.

Gli automotori FS R.212 sono dei mezzi di trazione a scartamento ridotto che hanno prestato servizio in Sicilia sulla linea Castelvetrano-Porto Empedocle.

Storia
Le locomotive, costruite in numero di due dagli stabilimenti di produzione Ansaldo, vennero progettate con lo scopo di sostituite in alcuni servizi, di manovra e di linea, le locomotive a vapore del deposito di Castelvetrano.

Il progetto prevedeva la costruzione di una piccola e versatile locomotiva, tuttavia non si rivelò una buona idea il fatto di non dotarla, fin dall'inizio, della condotta del freno continuo, dotandola del solo freno del mezzo di trazione.

Il problema era determinato dal fatto che la rete a scartamento  ridotto FS della Sicilia aveva adottato il sistema di frenatura dei rotabili a vuoto Hardy, anziché quello ad aria compressa, sistema Westinghouse. Mentre sulle locomotive a vapore era molto facile produrre il vuoto necessario in condotta a mezzo di speciali eiettori a vapore, in una locomotiva a motore diesel il sistema avrebbe richiesto delle apparecchiature parecchio complesse. Si preferì la soluzione di ripiego che di fatto vanificò il progetto e relegò le due piccole locomotive ai soli usi di manovra con qualche sparuto utilizzo come locomotiva da treno.

Le motorizzazioni adottate furono differenti per le due locomotive: la R.212.401  montava un motore OM da 118 kW (160 HP) di potenza a 1750 giri al minuto, sovralimentato (prima applicazione su un mezzo di manovra) mentre la R.212.402 montava un motore Deutz da 95 kW (130 HP) a 1800 giri al minuto. Per la trasmissione del moto le due unità sperimentarono la prima applicazione, nelle FS italiane, della trasmissione idrodinamica Voith tipo L22; le locomotive potevano raggiungere la velocità massima di 40 km/h in linea. In manovra invece era stabilito la limitazione della velocità a 20 km/h mediante un selettore un diverso rapporto di trasmissione.

Le due locomotive vennero assegnate al deposito di Castelvetrano ove svolsero la loro tranquilla esistenza fino all'accantonamento determinato dalla chiusura della linea ferroviaria, ultima sopravvissuta della vasta rete a scartamento ridotto FS della Sicilia.

Nel 2002 entrambe le locomotive risultavano in attesa di demolizione.

A partire dal 2009 l'Associazione Treno D.O.C. di Palermo ha avviato un'azione di tutela, ai sensi del D.Lgs.vo 42/2004 "Codice dei Beni Culturali e del Paesaggio", di alcuni dei rotabili a scartamento ridotto presenti a Castelvetrano e tra questi l'automotore R.212.402, che è stato così salvato dalla demolizione dei rotabili non vincolati presenti in quell'area, in condizioni ormai irrimediabilmente compromesse, avvenuta nel 2012. Il rotabile è in attesa di restauro e revisione volta a un suo recupero funzionale.

When John Matthews-Bey walked his little girl into her Baltimore City Head Start classroom 40 years ago, he had no idea that he'd remain at Head Start decades later as a much beloved and appreciated teacher.
"For me, it's all about the children. You have to love the children," said Matthews-Bey, who was one of 113 Catholic Charities colleagues honored during the 42nd Annual Employee Milestone Luncheon, which was held aboard the Spirit Cruise Ship on Sept. 28.
"When the children and the parents come to school, I always let them know they're welcome here," said Matthews-Bey. He beamed as Executive Director Bill McCarthy read letters from parents and students praising Matthews-Bey as a role model.
The milestone luncheon and cruise through Baltimore's Inner Harbor toward the Francis Scott Key Bridge fell on a warm and sunny day, which was a welcome break from the rain. The employees ranged from St. Vincent's Villa classroom aides to Esperanza Center case managers, public school therapists, and caregivers from Gallagher Services and Jenkins Senior Living.
All honorees gathered in the ship's dining room for a buffet lunch and the recognition ceremony, which was punctuated by enthusiastic applause. In addition to McCarthy, the staff was recognized by Assistant Director Mary Anne O'Donnell, Community Services Director Amy Collier, Senior Services Director Arnold Eppel, Family Services Director Kevin Keegan, Chief Development Officer Rita Walters and Finance Director Scott Becker. Becker also celebrated his 10th year of employment with Catholic Charities.
Later, staff enjoyed the warm breeze and sun from the upper deck of the ship. "This is so nice," said Donita Green Blake, a 20-year employee at Gallagher Services in Timonium who sat with her colleague, Marsha Young, who has worked for Gallagher Services for 15 years.
FACTOID: Catholic Charities of Baltimore is the largest nonprofit service provider in the state of Maryland. Our organization has the fifth highest number of full-time employees out of the 167 diocesan Catholic Charities that are members of the Catholic Charities of USA. The top five Catholic Charities include: #1 – Seattle with 2,600 full-time employees, followed by Chicago, New York City, Brooklyn/Queens and in fifth place Baltimore.


Australia's largest telecommunications company Telstra is facing penalties of up to A$10 million for allegedly collecting more than A$61.7 million in net revenue from commissions on premium billing services in a way that the consumer regulator says breached the law.
On Monday, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission said it had commenced proceedings against Telstra, alleging that the telco had made false or misleading representations to consumers in relation to its third-party billing service, known as 'Premium Direct Billing'.
It comes as the telco agreed to shut down its premium billing service entirely, and the ACCC said it was keeping an eye on other telecommunications companies providing similar services.
To date, Telstra has admitted to the ACCC that it made the alleged representations, and agreed to consent to orders in the Federal Court, including declarations that it breached the ASIC Act. It's agreed to make joint submissions in relation to the imposition of pecuniary penalties totalling A$10 million. Telstra has also committed to offer refunds to affected customers, the ACCC said.
During 2015 and 2016, the ACCC said thousands of Telstra mobile phone customers unwittingly signed up to subscriptions or charges with third parties, without being required to enter payment details or verify their identity.
Telstra has admitted that more than 100,000 customers may have been affected and charged, while the ACCC added that some 2.7 million mobile numbers were involved.
"Telstra has admitted that it misled customers by charging them for digital content, such as games and ringtones, which they unknowingly purchased," ACCC chairman Rod Sims said in a statement. "Many Telstra customers paid for content they did not want, did not use, and had difficulty unsubscribing from.
Sims added that when customers contacted Telstra to complain, many were directed to third parties, "even though Telstra knew that they had difficulty getting a refund" from a third party.
"Customers were often left frustrated and out of pocket as a result of Telstra's conduct," he said.
As a result of the ACCC's actions, Telstra has agreed to refund customers affected by its conduct. According to the ACCC, Telstra estimates it has provided refunds of at least A$5 million so far.
Telstra will review any future complaints in light of the ACCC's action, the watchdog said, noting that it estimates further refunds "may be in the order of several million dollars".
"The ACCC is aware that other carriers offer similar third-party billing services to their customers. We are monitoring complaint levels and will take enforcement action in relation to these carriers if we believe they are breaching the law," Sims said.

Being Mike Tyson
Isn't Just About Boxing
DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. (September 18, 2013) — Since the much-anticipated launching of Iron Mike Productions last month, Hall of Famer and living legend "Iron" Mike Tyson has had a string of major media appearances, granting interviews to Fox Sports Live, Extra, the Today Show, and Conan O'Brien, where he spoke about his upcoming show, "Being Mike Tyson," as well as the current state of boxing. His recent return to the ring as a boxing promoter with Iron Mike Productions has also given him a lot to talk about, like the National Football League and which teams he believes are heading to the Super Bowl.Most boxing fans also enjoy watching football because of the inherent action and physicality of the two sports. They may remember the stencil art done by artist Joe Lurato a few years back of Peyton Manning and Tom Brady for a segment titled, "Quarterbacks of the Decade." Lurato's artwork has been featured on NFL broadcasts and Tyson has kept his eyes out for it because, in addition to being passionate about sports, Mike and his Iron Mike Productions business partner, Garry Jonas, are also passionate about art."Not only is this unique artwork beautiful," Tyson said, "it is also inspirational for our fighters as they train in the Iron Mike gym. Our goal is to give all our fighters everything they need to be their very best, physically and mentally, and this serves as another example of Iron Mike Productions' commitment to excellence on their behalf."
Tyson and Jonas, CEO of Iron Mike Productions, immediately thought of Lurato when they were building their state-of-the-art training facility in Deerfield Beach, Florida. They commissioned both Lurato and fellow New York stencil artist, Logan Hicks, to create amazing, larger-than life wall murals to inspire and provoke their fighters, capturing the range of emotions that happen inside the ring."The photo-realistic images have depth and move with the eye," Jonas explained. "They follow the fighters throughout the space, inspiring them and reminding them of why they are here and what they are training for."
Using layers of hand-cut paper, spray paint and stencils, both artists worked round-the-clock over one weekend to create an energized series of mixed-medium murals that echo the raw dynamism of the Iron Mike gym and capture the hope, struggle and desire that are at the heart of every fighter here.
The artists deliberately incorporated elements of urban street art to make the murals both visceral and refined to directly reflect the raw, gritty talent each of the fighters started with as they work to refine their skills and transform themselves into champions.Lurato's work has also been featured on ESPN as part of the "Art of Basketball" project, created by Billi Kid and Public Works Department, an organization that promotes street and graffiti artists and their work. Licensed by the NBA, the organization features a growing collection of NBA-themed original street artwork that tours the country. Lurato's contribution focused on the 2012 championship-winning Miami Heat.
To learn more about Joe Lurato and Logan Hicks, check out their work at joeiurato.com and loganhicks.com.
Iron Mike Productions, previously Acquinity Sports, is a boxing promotion company co-founded and led by CEO Garry Jonas. It is a partnership with Hall of Famer Mike Tyson committed to changing traditional boxing promotion by advocating for its fighters' successes inside the ring and out, throughout their professional careers and into retirement.

Is T2 Diabetes progressive ?
The answer to this simple question is not so simple. It depends on which side you look at it from. The official medical-world wisdom says, IT IS. They look at it from a pathophysiological view point, the emphasis being on what drug should be used for control of blood glucose ? This, in our view is the wrong question to start with. This approach only leads to pancreatic β-cell deterioration & increasing hyperglycemia.
There is no doubt that Diabetes is a chronic disease. That means that it can only come in and not go out. So any thoughts on a "reversal" of the condition can be safely set aside, at least for now, till science has better alternatives. So diabetics are left with one choice only – to "control" this pathological beast.
At the Diabetic Pub it means keeping your BG below 140 mg/dl (7.8 mmol/l) at all times & keeping your Hb-A1c below 6.0 %. Why do we suggest these limits ? Because many studies indicate that serious damage occurs at levels above this number.
In the pharma-medical world good control is defined as A1c of around 7.0 %. This figure translates to an average of 172 mg/dl (9.5 mmol/l). That "average" means that you would be over 200 mg/dl (11.1 mmol/l) many times during the day. That is no control.
So when you control the chronic condition, and remain within the suggested BG range, it means lesser and lesser dependence on the insulin secretion by your pancreatic β-cells, giving them a well-deserved rest. "A well-rested organ deteriorating over time" is logically not possible, though eventually age does catch up with every organ in the body. But that's another argument.
Most of the Diabetic Pub members have controlled their diabetes for over half a decade now, with lifestyle changes alone. These changes include a carbohydrate restricted diet, exercise and minimal dependence on safe drugs, when required. We believe that a controlled condition should not be progressive.

Believe me, Prince, in a good democracy, every man should be an aristocrat: but these people in Russia who seek to thrust us out are no better than the animals in one's preserves, and made to be shot at, most of them.
But birds and lizards have no sense of repose and indeed birds have not even a permanent address. They are mere vagrants like the gypsies, and should be treated in exactly the same manner.
THE BIRTHDAY OF THE INFANTA
Cecily: This is no time for wearing the shallow mask of manners. When I see a spade I call it a spade.
Gwendolen: I am glad to say that I have never seen a spade. It is obvious that our social spheres have been widely different.
'Common sense, indeed!' said the Rocket indignantly; 'you forget that I am very uncommon, and very remarkable.'
THE REMARKABLE ROCKET
Crime belongs exclusively to the lower orders.
Gardenias and the peerage were his only weaknesses.
Half-past six! What an hour! It will be like having a meat-tea, or reading an English novel. It must be seven. No gentleman dines before seven.
I am glad that she has gone. . . she has a decidedly middle-class mind.
I am not at all in favour of amusements for the poor, Jane. Blankets and coal are sufficient.
I am sure, Lord Illingworth, you don't think that uneducated people should be allowed to have votes?
I don't think that Lord Crediton cared very much for Cyril. He had never forgiven his daughter for marrying a man who had no title. He was an extraordinary old aristocrat, who swore like a costermonger, and had the manners of a farmer.
THE PORTRAIT OF MR. W.H.
I know myself that, when I am coming back from the Drawing room, I always feel as if I hadn't a shred on me, except a small shred of decent reputation, just enough to prevent the lower classes making painful observations through the windows of the carriage.
I quite sympathise with the rage of the English democracy against what they call the vices of the upper orders. The masses feel that drunkenness, stupidity and immorality should be their own special property and that if anyone of us makes an ass of himself he is poaching on their preserves.
I saw the governess, Jane. . . She was far too good-looking to be in any respectable household.
I would much sooner talk scandal in the drawing-room than treason in a cellar. Besides, I hate the common mob, who smell of garlic, smoke bad tobacco, get up early, and dine off one dish.
If a man is a gentleman, he knows quite enough, and if he is not a gentleman, whatever he knows is bad for him.
If the poor only had profiles there would be no difficulty in solving the problem of poverty.
In these modern days to be vulgar, illiterate, common and vicious, seems to give a man a marvellous infinity of rights that his father never dreamed of.
It is a sad fact, but there is no doubt that the poor are completely unconscious of their own picturesqueness.
LONDON MODELS
It is only by not paying one's bills that one can hope to live in the memory of the commercial classes.
Lady Basildon: Ah! I hate being educated!
Mrs. Marchmont: So do I. It puts one almost on a level with the commercial classes, doesn't it?
Lady Hunstanton: I hear you have such pleasant society in America. Quite like our own in places, my son wrote to me.
Hester. There are cliques in America as elsewhere, Lady Hunstanton. But true American society consists simply of all the good women and good men we have in our country.
Lady Hunstanton: What a sensible system, and I dare say quite pleasant, too. I am afraid in England we have too many artificial social barriers. We don't see as much as we should of the middle and lower classes.
Lord Goring: Extraordinary thing about the lower classes in England - they are always losing their relations.
Phipps: Yes, my lord! They are extremely fortunate in that respect.
'Poor old chap!' said Hughie, 'how miserable he looks! But I suppose to you painters, his face is his fortune?' 'Certainly,' replied Trevor, 'you don't want a beggar to look happy, do you?'
THE MODEL MILLIONAIRE
Really, if the lower orders don't set us a good example, what on earth is the use of them? They seem, as a class, to have absolutely no sense of moral responsibility.
Since the introduction of printing, and the fatal development of the habit of reading amongst the middle and lower classes of this country, there has been a tendency in literature to appeal more and more to the eye, and less and less to the ear.
THE CRITIC AS ARTIST
The Cantervilles have blue blood, for instance, the very bluest in England; but I know you Americans don't care for things of this kind.
The English aristocracy supply us with our curiosities, Lady Caroline. They are sent over to us every summer, regularly, in the steamers, and propose to us the day after they land.
The husbands of very beautiful women belong to the criminal classes.
The impulse of the Irish literature of their time came from a class that did not - mainly for political reasons - take the populace seriously, and imagined the country as a humorist's Arcadia. . . What they did was not wholly false, they merely magnified an irresponsible type, found oftenest among boatmen, carmen, and gentlemen's servants, into the type of a whole nation, and created the stage-Irishman
YEATS's FAIRY AND FOLK TALES
The middle classes air their moral prejudices over their gross dinner-tables, and whisper about what they call the profligacies of their betters in order to try and pretend that they are in smart society, and on intimate terms with the people they slander.
The Philistine element in life is not the failure to understand Art. Charming people such as fishermen, shepherds, ploughboys, peasants and the like know nothing about Art, and are the very salt of the earth.
The well-bred contradict other people. The wise contradict themselves.
The world is simply divided into two classes - those who believe the incredible, like the public - and those who do the improbable.
There are the poor, and amongst them there is no grace of manner, or charm of speech, or civilisation, or culture, or refinement in pleasures, or joy of life.
There is always more books than brains in an aristocracy.
There is only one class in the community that thinks more about money than the rich, and that is the poor.
Three addresses always inspire confidence, even in tradesmen.
To be born, or at any rate bred, in a hand-bag, whether it had handles or not, seems to me to display a contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life that reminds one of the worst excesses of the French Revolution.
To be good, according to the vulgar standard of goodness, is obviously quite easy. It merely requires a certain amount of sordid terror, a certain lack of imaginative thought, and a certain low passion for middle-class respectability.
THE ARTIST AS CRITIC
We don't want to be harrowed and disgusted with an account of the doings of the lower orders.
THE DECAY OF LYING
What is our son at present? An underpaid clerk in a small Provincial Bank in a third-rate English town.
When Jesus talks about the poor he simply means personalities, just as when he talks about the rich he simply means people who have not developed their personalities.
With a proper background women can do anything.

Re: Peter the Roman conspiracy
Latin America is home to almost half the world's Catholics, but will struggle to produce the next pope
The continent has half a billion Christians – but only 21 of the 117 cardinals who will elect the next pontiff
Almost as soon as Benedict XVI announced his resignation, Latin America was abuzz with speculation that the Catholic church would finally choose a pope from the continent with the most believers.
From the mayor of Mexico City to bishops and newspaper commentators in almost every country in the region, the prospects for a first Hispanic pontiff have been raised, weighed or boosted in newspapers, social networks and sermons.
Latin America is home to 41% of the world's 1.2 billion registered Catholics, but of the 117 cardinals who will decide the next pope, only 21 are from Latin America; almost half are from Europe.
For much of the past 50 years, swaths of Latin America have embraced a more socially active vision of the church's role in alleviating poverty and resisting dictatorships. "Liberation Theology" has proved highly controversial in the Vatican, where conservatives have been wary of the movement's overt Marxist sympathies. Before succeeding John Paul II, Benedict XVI proved his mettle by taking on the Liberation Theologians, whom he described as a "fundamental threat to the faith of the church".
None of the Latin American candidates is likely to introduce radical changes, though they could offer a change of tone and a continental shift in perspectives.
The best known is probably Argentine Cardinal Leonardo Sandri, who rose to public attention when he served as the voice of John Paul while the last pope was unable to speak due to Parkinson's disease. He also announced the pontiff's death. Now 69, Sandri, who speaks five languages, has held several senior positions in the Vatican, including his current role as head of the congregation of Oriental churches, which makes him responsible for Catholics in Bethlehem and elsewhere in the Holy Land. But some have noted that Sandri's star has been waning in recent years; his current role is less influential than the positions he occupied under John Paul.
If demographics were a major factor, then the leading Latin American candidate would probably be Odilo Pedro Scherer, the 63-year-old archbishop of Sao Paulo, the biggest city in Brazil and the continent.
The possibility of a first Hispanic pope has been widely picked up in the Brazilian media. The influential Veja magazine speculated that Scherer might be in the frame. There are five Brazilians among the 119 cardinals who are eligible to vote.
Brazil is the world's biggest Catholic nation with an estimated 150 million believers, 75% of the population. But this is a decline on the 90% recorded in the past – a result of secularism and a strong challenge by evangelical methodist groups and Islam but the country's importance to the church was evident in Benedict XVI's decision to make Sao Paulo the destination in 2007 of his first of his two trips to Latin America

What The Golf (Prototype) Review
What The Golf prototype is a crazy golf game (not as in crazy golf like miniature golf) far crazier than that but a game where you play golf on cliffs, or use a golf club to throw to the pin rather than the standard golf ball!
Although this is a prototype version it's incredibly fun and very simple to pick up and play it can be a little easy at first but as you start getting in to more crazy parts of the game, such as having to get the golf club house in to the hole, or trying to guide soccer balls around kids that are determined to kick your ball off the cliff edge and put you "out of bounds"!
What The Golf looks fantastic and is a real blast to play if you would like to support this project you can find the campaign here
It's a silly yet hilarious concept and based on how great this prototype is the finished game should be one of the craziest, silliest and funniest golf games ever made that you don't need to be a fan of golf to enjoy.

Suffield's Williams selects UNH
Zedane Williams helped his Suffield Academy team win the Northeast 7-on-7 North Regional at Exeter High School last summer. He'll be back in New Hampshire for a longer stay later this year.
Williams, a linebacker/running back/kick returner, verbally committed to UNH on Tuesday and is expected to sign a national letter of intent with UNH on Feb. 6. He became the third player to commit to the UNH program this week, joining Tyrell Wiggins, a running back/defensive back from the Dexter Southfield School in Brookline; and J.C. Collins, a quarterback/defensive back from Williamstown (N.J.) High School.
Williams, who is listed a 6-foot-1 and 185 pounds, received Suffield's J. Edward Tryon Award as the team's Most Outstanding Player following the 2018 season, which was his post-graduate year.
Wiggins, a Roxbury, Mass., resident, was the NEPSAC Class C co-MVP last season, when he rushed for 1,052 yards and 10 touchdowns on 96 carries for a team that finished the season with a 7-2 record. He also caught two TD passes, and returned a punt and a kickoff for a touchdown. Wiggins also had an offer from the University of Maine.
Collins committed to the University of Massachusetts in July, but had his scholarship offer pulled when Walt Bell replaced Mark Whipple as UMass' head coach.
Collins led Williamstown to a 12-1 record and the South Jersey Group 5 title. As a senior Collins ran for 1,208 yards and 16 TDs ,and passed for 1,236 yards and 11 TDs.

ABBA to Re-release Landmark Concert as 3LP Set Half-Speed Mastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios
ABBA - LIVE AT WEMBLEY ARENA Available March 13 via Polar/UMe - Features the complete November 10th, 1979 ABBA show
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 23, 2020 /HalcyonTV/ -- By the time ABBA played London's Wembley Arena in November 1979, they had spent five years in the public spotlight – although it seems a short time now, they had lived several lives in that period. Comprising of writers Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, and the incomparable vocals of Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad, ABBA shot to international fame by winning the Eurovision Song Contest in Brighton UK in 1974. From that moment on, they had moved through the glam'n'glitter of Arrival, the megastardom of ABBA - The Album and the gloss and embracing of disco of Voulez-Vous.
ABBA's concerts in London at the end of the '70s – the decade that they helped to shape musically – quickly became the stuff of legend. For a group that toured only a handful of times, these shows were a pinnacle, coming near the end of their touring life. Backstage they would have admirers such as Ian Dury, Joe Strummer ('Spanish Bombs' from the Clash's London Calling was said to be influenced by ABBA) and Jimmy Page dropping by to catch the hottest ticket in town. John Cleese was spotted in the auditorium.
The tour had opened in Edmonton, Canada in September 1979 and was to close in Dublin on November 15th. ABBA loved being in London (Frida wore an Arsenal FC shirt one night), fighting off winter chills to deliver some of the most exhilarating performances of their career. Coinciding with the release of their Greatest Hits Volume 2 album, this was high-octane ABBA, captured forever in the legendary pictures of the event with Frida and Agnetha appearing initially in Nordic outfits that referenced 'blue-tinged mountains and glittering waters' before all four emerged in their blue jumpsuits, singing as if their life depended upon it.
When ABBA took the stage, their experience and professionalism showed. Audiences and critics were astounded that ABBA could reproduce their studio sound live – and sometimes it swung even more. The backing musicians were Sweden's best and most experienced. Although principally promoting their recent Voulez-Vous album, the set covered highlights throughout their career and contained a rare performance of Agnetha's 'I'm Still Alive', unreleased on any album. It is now time to hear ABBA at the peak of their live performance again on ABBA – Live at Wembley Arena. The concert is now available on a 180gm beautiful triple vinyl, produced by Ludvig Andersson, and half-speed mastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios.
