Gold Prices Buoyed by China Demand

A spike in gold buying by Asian investors has created a scarcity of investment-grade gold bars in the region, supporting prices even as Western investors trim their holdings.
Traders said that gold sales to China had jumped 30 to 50 per cent since Christmas, driving the cost of kilo bars in Hong Kong more than $3 per ounce above the market price of gold, the highest level since 2008 and an indication of the tightness in the physical market.
"Physical demand has rocketed in China at the start of the year," said Walter de Wet, head of commodities research at Standard Bank.
The wave of Asian buying has propped up gold prices at about $1,360 a troy ounce, traders and analysts said.

Sona Drills 85.4g Gold/Ton Over 4 Metres at Elizabeth Gold Deposit, Extending the Mineralization of the Southwest Vein on the Property
Company Press Release, October 27, 2010
VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Sona Resources Corp. reports on five drillling holes in the third round of assay results from the recently completed drill program at its 100 percent-owned Elizabeth Gold Deposit Property in the Lillooet Mining District of southern British Columbia. Highlights from the diamond drilling include:
-- Hole E10-66 intersected 17.4g gold/ton over 1.54 metres.
-- Hole E10-67 intersected 96.4g gold/ton over 2.5 metres, including one assay interval of 383g of gold/ton over 0.5 metres.
-- Hole E10-69 intersected 85.4g gold/ton over 4.03 metres, including one assay interval of 230g gold/ton over 1 metre.
Four drill holes, E10-66 to E10-69, targeted the southwestern end of the Southwest Vein, and three of the holes have expanded the mineralized zone in that direction. The Southwest Vein gold mineralization has now been intersected over a strike length of 325 metres, with the deepest hole drilled less than 200 metres from surface.
"The assay results from the Southwest Zone quartz vein continue to be extremely positive," says John P. Thompson, Sona's president and CEO. "We are expanding the Southwest Vein, and this high-grade gold mineralization remains wide open down dip and along strike to the southwest."

The metal's price has dropped 4.6 per cent from its December record price of $1,430.95, trading at $1,364.10 on Friday, as optimism about prospects for U.S. growth has led Western investors to turn their attention away from gold to other commodities and equities. "We have a balanced situation where one part of the world is buying and the other part is selling," said a senior trader in Hong Kong. Chinese and Indian investors are increasingly turning to gold to protect savings against sharply rising food prices.
Investor buying of gold bars jumped 80 per cent to a record 144 tonnes last year in India, according to GFMS, the precious metals consultancy, while across east Asia bar hoarding was up 125 per cent at a 15-year high.
In another sign of the booming investment demand for gold in the region, China's first exchange-traded fund to offer exposure to physical gold, launched last month by Lion Fund Management, announced this week that it had already achieved its target of raising $500 million.
The tightness in the Asian market is likely to persist until the end of the month, traders said, as some refiners have booked out production until February and Chinese demand remains robust ahead of the new year holiday.
However, some warned that the gold market could lose its main support when China shuts down in the first week of February.
Edel Tully, precious metals strategist at UBS, said that next month, "if investors are intent on selling, gold will not have the buffer it had in January."

Public Release: 18-Feb-2016
It's easy to get people to do bad things -- this might be why
In the 1960s, psychologist Stanley Milgram famously conducted experiments in a Yale University basement showing that people will apparently inflict pain on another person simply because someone in a position of authority told them to. Now, researchers reporting in the Cell Press journal Current Biology on Feb. 18, 2016 have taken those classic experiments one step further, providing new evidence that might help to explain why people are so easily coerced.
According to the new work by researchers at University College London and Université Libre de Bruxelles in Belgium, when someone gives us an order, we actually feel less responsible for our actions and their painful consequences.
"Maybe some basic feeling of responsibility really is reduced when we are coerced into doing something," says Patrick Haggard of University College London. "People often claim reduced responsibility because they were 'only obeying orders.' But are they just saying that to avoid punishment, or do orders really change the basic experience of responsibility?"
Haggard and his colleagues sought to answer this question by measuring a phenomenon called "sense of agency." This is the feeling that one's actions have caused some external event. For instance, Haggard has explained, if you flip a light switch and a light comes on, you often experience those events as being nearly simultaneous, even if there's a lag.
Haggard's team has already shown that people feel reduced sense of agency when their actions produce a negative versus a positive outcome. In other words, people literally perceive a longer lapse in time between an action (in this case, presses of a computer key) and its outcome when the end result is negative compared to when it is positive.
In the new study, the researchers measured sense of agency in the same way to explore changes in perception when someone delivered a mild electric shock to another person, either on orders or by their own choice. In other experiments, the harm inflicted on the other person was a financial penalty instead of a minor pain.
When the participants chose freely, they were encouraged along with the promise of a small financial gain. They also knew exactly what kind of harm they were inflicting because pairs of participants traded places with each other. Those who delivered shocks or suffered financial losses in some trial sessions received the same treatment in others.
The researchers report that coercion led to a small but significant increase in the perceived time interval between action and outcome in comparison to situations in which participants freely chose to inflict the same harms. Interestingly, coercion also reduced the neural processing of the outcomes of one's own action. The researchers concluded that claims of reduced responsibility under coercion could indeed correspond to a change in basic feelings of responsibility--not just attempts to avoid social punishment.
"When you feel a sense of agency -- you feel responsible for an outcome -- you get changes in experience of time where what you do and the outcome you produce seem closer together," Haggard says.
Haggard says it would now be interesting to find out whether some people more readily experience a reduced sense of agency under coercion than others. "Fortunately for society, there have always been some people who stand up to coercion," he says.
The authors were supported by the FRS-F.N.R.S, the AHRC, the ERC, and the ESRC.

Whicker: Walk-on walks tall for Louisville
Wichita State's Fred Van Vleet (left) moves the ball as Louisville's Tim Henderson defends during the second half of the NCAA Final Four tournament college basketball semifinal game on Saturday in Atlanta.
By Mark Whicker | MWhicker@scng.com | Daily News
April 6, 2013 at 9:00 p.m.
ATLANTA – He was manning his usual game-time post, sitting there in his warmups.
Two things were different: Kevin Ware and his broken leg were sitting nearby. And Louisville's team was playing worried basketball, with good reason, as Wichita State kept pulling away.
Well, three things were different for Tim Henderson. This was the Final Four.
"Somebody's gonna have to do this," he told Stephan Van Treese, sitting beside him.
That somebody, in the biggest games, sometimes turns out to be Marco Scutaro or Mike Miller or David Tyree.
Sometimes it's a mystery guest. "I didn't think it would be me," Henderson said.
But it was Henderson, a walk-on from Christian Academy in Louisville, Ky., a guy who got Rick Pitino's attention the old-fashioned way, with letters that you put in envelopes and stamp.
It is Louisville's great fortune that he included his return address.
Henderson came into the game and hit two 3-point shots. Those six points raised his season total to 22.
"They set some picks for me and the guys got me the ball," Henderson said. "I thought the first one was a little short. The second one felt good."
Those baskets reduced Wichita State's lead from 12 to six. That was it for Henderson, but the Cardinals finally quit playing as if they were about to be audited. It took a lot of plays and will and luck, but Louisville, the top-seeded team in the tournament, finally won, 72-68, and Monday night will play for its first NCAA championship since 1986.
Henderson has watched most of the saga. He and his family regularly watched Louisville, home and road. Both parents are Louisville alums, and father Jeff was a swimmer there.
Tim loved Francisco Garcia and Taquan Dean. Along the way he learned how to handle the 3-point line himself. As a junior he averaged 18 points for his high school team.
"I was beginning to get some notice," Henderson said. "Siena was interested, Coastal Carolina. But then I was hurt most of my senior year. I was getting letters, but no offers.
"It was really down to two things — try to walk on at Louisville or play at IU-Southeast (an NAIA school)."
That was no choice at all. Henderson started hanging out at the Louisville practice facility, the same way a sawed-off kid named David Eckstein was an everyday visitor at Florida baseball practice, once upon a time.
Eventually he got into some "open gym" games, with real Louisville players. One day, Louisville assistant coach Ralph Willard saw him. Eventually, Pitino wrote him and offered him preferred walk-on status — "walk-ons" don't just show up unannounced, you know.
"It's tough," he said. "You guard great players every day, like Russ Smith and Peyton Siva. But I think it makes you better."
IU-Southeast played another indirect role in what happened Saturday.
Luke Hancock, who had transferred to Louisville from George Mason, was playing pickup there two years ago when a shot-blocker snapped his shoulder right out of the socket.
It wasn't quite as traumatic as what happened to Ware, who suffered a compound leg fracture against Duke last week, but Hancock still needed 10 months of rehab. The trainers first aligned that shoulder into the shooting position.
Good thing. Hancock came off the bench for 20 points, two off his season high.
First he hit outside shots. "That spaced us out," said Wichita State's Fred Van Vleet, and then Hancock shot-faked and drove to the hoop.
He shot 5 for 7 in the second half, and after most baskets he either shook his fist or pointed to his temple.
"He has the 'it' factor," Henderson said. "He's the gutsiest person I know. He carries himself that way."
And freshman Montrezl Harrell, probably Louisville's next headline player, hit all four of his shots in his 11 minutes.
The Cardinals' reserves outscored Wichita State's, 34-9, even without Ware, and Pitino needed every drop.
Smith, nicknamed "Russdiculous" by Pitino for his shot selection, needed Russ-toleum at times, suffering five turnovers and missing 11 of 17 shots.
Center Gorgui Dieng was rendered invisible, and Wichita State got through 26 consecutive minutes without suffering one turnover.
But Louisville finally coaxed some mistakes at the end to weather a 24-point storm by Cleanthony Early.
The Shockers still had a chance when Hancock missed a foul shot with 8.8 seconds left, Louisville leading by three.
But Hancock rescued the Cardinals when he forced a tie-up with Ron Baker, and the possession arrow favored the Big East champs.
At the end, Siva laughed as he recalled a Henderson jumper against Notre Dame, in the Big East Tournament, that whacked the side of the backboard.
"That's OK," Henderson said. "They can't say anything now."
Well, Van Treese did say one thing.
"You're a Louisville legend," he told Henderson.

We act while awake as we do in a dream: we invent and fabricate the person with whom we associate—and then we immediately forget the fact. – Nietzsche.
The affinities between the work of David Lynch and Dennis Potter have often been remarked upon. No doubt they would have been confirmed if Lynch and Potter's long-planned collaboration on an adaptation of D. M. Thomas's The White Hotel had come to fruition.
Superficially, the works of Potter and Lynch which have most in common with each other are Twin Peaks and The Singing Detective; both are explorations of the detective genre by televisual auteurs; both display their authors' signature obsessions with popular culture; both examine the interplay between sexuality, memory and identity – but the most Potteresque of Lynch's films is actually his masterpiece and most recent feature, Mulholland Dr. In cross-fertilizing the soap, detective and Horror genres (amongst others), Twin Peaks contaminated realism with strains of the marvellous. Yet its concerns were epistemological ('Is this real or not?') rather than ontological ('What is reality?' 'What is the reality of this?') Mulholland Dr, meanwhile, like The Singing Detective, is reflexively engaged with its own fictionality.
The 'standard' interpretation of Mulholland Dr claims that its first two-thirds are the fantasy/ dream of failed two-bit actress Diane Selwyn, whose actual life is allegedly depicted, in all its quotidian squalor, in the final section of the film. This would underscore MD's striking similarities to The Singing Detective, whose complexly-interacting narrative lines are weaved from the fantasies and memories of the convalescent pulp author, Philip E Marlow (Michael Gambon). Yet such a reading is ultimately unsatisfactory. As Timothy Takemoto argues, (you have to scroll down to his piece, 'Double Dreams in Hollywood') to see the second part of Mulholland Dr as real is inherently conservative in its assumption that there is an unambiguous reality to which we can 'return'.
Following Zizek, Takemoto suggests that what MD presents is not an exposed 'reality' but a 'grey fog' of competing, incommensurable realities, from which desire and will are never extricable. (An homologous case is Kubrick's near-contemporaneous Eyes Wide Shut, which is standardly interpreted as entirely the dream of the protagonist, Tom Cruise's Bill. What this reading of Eyes Wide Shut has in common with the dominant readings of Mulholland Dr is a confidence in the possibility of parsing reality from desire, a distinction which both films disturb, as the very title of Kubrick's film indicates).
Lyotard famously defines postmodernity as an 'incredulity towards meta-narratives' If the standard interpretation of MD were valid, then, far from being incredulous towards meta-narratives, it would be presenting a meta-narrative (an empirical realism focalized through a psychological interiority).
In his earlier Libidinal Economy, Lyotard opposes 'the representational cube' to the Moebian strip: a single-sided figure, with no inside or outside.
In tracing the endless surface of this moebian strip, both Lynch and Potter exemplify a libidinal postmodernism diametrically opposed to self-conscious, auto-referencing 'PoMo'. Whereas PoMo mourns the absence of a stable transcendent plane, a meta-space 'above' the fiction, typically identified with a self-present, self-conscious subject (God/ the author…), Lynch and Potter's fiction explores the Escheresque flatness of a plane of immanence. Far from being metafictions, then, Potter's and Lynch deny the possibility of any meta level.
The Real of Mulholland Dr is not Diane's supposedly waking world, but the paradoxically entrancing insomniac realm of Club Silencio (which, in acting as the gateway from the first section of the film to the second is like the 'cut' of the moebian band that when sutured together, transforms the two sides of the piece of paper into a single strip). I say 'paradoxically entrancing' because the scene is ostensibly demystifying. Yet only ostensibly so; like Magritte's 'This Is Not a Pipe', Club Silencio, reminiscent of the Black/White Lodge in the first and final episodes of Twin Peaks and as intensely charged as anything in Lynch's oeuvre, demonstrates film – and art's - irreducible sorcery. Club Silencio's scenario is thoroughly Potteresque. The entertainment is provided by perfomers who mime onstage to a pre-recorded soundtrack, much in the way that Potter had the characters in The Singing Detective and Pennies From Heaven lip sync to thirties' pop. Despite the complete ingenuousness of the magician-compere's words – 'There is no band. What you will hear are recordings.'- we (the audience) are nevertheless unable to resist the seduction of the spectacle. So when the apparent singer, Rebeka Del Rio, collapses but the music continues, we are shocked. Something in us compels us to treat the performance as if real.
There is of course nothing less mendacious, less dissimmulatory, in cinema's history of illusion than the scene in Club Silencio. What we are seeing and hearing – the film itself - is a recording and nothing but. On the most banal level, this is the Real which the 'magic of cinema' must conceal. Yet the scene haunts for reasons other than this. It challenges the audience (us!) to recognize that our own lives, the roles we perform when we leave the auditorium, are themselves recordings, scripted by forces outside the self whose 'substance' turns out to be itself nothing more than a palimpsest of influences.
Mulholland Dr shares much with the television serial Potter wrote after The Singing Detective, the troubled Blackeyes. Blackeyes, whose protagonist, Gina Bellman, physically resembles MD's Laura Elena Harring, was intended to be Potter's examination of the production and manipulation of female subjectivity (and his own desiring-complicity with this manipulation). The Lynch female – like the Potter female (and the Ferry female, come to think of it) – is a largely fantasmatic concoction of blood-red lipstick, nail polish, high heels and long hair. Tellingly, the iconic image of both Lynch's Twin Peaks and of Potter's The Singing Detective is a dead woman (Laura Palmer wrapped in plastic; Sonia/ Philip's mother dredged up from the Thames under Hammersmith bridge), just as Mulholland Dr revolves around a female corpse.
But in situating women as both dreamers and the dreamed, MD's examination of the desiring-trajectories of Hollywood's factory of dreams, succeeded in a way that Blackeyes never did.
Absurd really, Karaoke and Cold Lazarus are the only Potter pieces I've seen, both at an age where I don't really think I got much out of them anyway.
I agree wholeheartedly with your views about the Club Silencio scene in MD; it is probably the most unashamedly cinematic and thus artificial moment I've ever seen on film, and works so well because it is not a revelation that comes to you in the thoughful hours after seeing the film, but because you cannot avoid understanding this at the moment the singer falls.
yo Mark i've never grappled substantively with anything Potter so 'spose i'm in for a treat?
Club Silencio scene wonderful but haha = scene w' bag swirling in American Beauty.
not sure i agree with the idea that standard postmodernism "mournss the absence of a stable transcendent plane". I'm no kind of expert on this, but doesn't the Derridean idea of postmodernism revolve joyously around the endless deferral and difference of meaning? Derrida's idea of "jouissance" seems to me an apt prism through which to see Lynch's work; meaning is always elsewhere; realities are interchanged summarily; all is self-consciously performed and performative; there is no stable underlying plane of reality. I think 'Lost Highway', which was not particularly well received, is actually the most extreme example of this in Lynch's work. The total shift of identities occuring exactly halfway through the film is a self-reflexive comment: art is performed as are identities - there are no governing rules that determine either should or could be static. Another fundamental related point occurs in Blue Velvet. When Kyle M and Laura Dern are sitting in the car, having just been exposed to the dark psychosexual world inhabited by Isabella Rosselini and Dennis Hopper for the first time, they eulogise a world now lost of comforting lawns and hedgerows. The speech stands out so starkly because this prelapsarian world never existed in the first place - all is flux in darkness. Ultimately, Lynch's work ironises the view that anything other than multiple, shifting existences can or have occurred. But it doesn't bemaoan these quicksands - rather it takes joy in their ephemeral beauty. My gut reaction to all Lynch's films is always that they're a vision or road to transcendence.
i really enjoyed MD Mark, kinda kinship with Memento in a very general way bleh bleh, but you think it's his masterpiece?
Also, I'm with you in looking for a little critical rehab for 'Eyes Wide Shut', I thought it was dismissed far too quickly (Kidman's dire performance aside)... I loved the film's nightmare logic, the way the absurd seems inevitable, and things are linked not so much by Cruise's blundering detective work, but by the underlying assumption that of course things are linked, they always will be.
I'd actually put EWS in my top four Kubrick films; after Barry Lyndon (the absolute peak), The Shining and 2001.
There's actually a great deal in common between MD and EWS.
EWS is definitely Kubrick's most Kafkaesque film; the scene in which Cruise stumbles upon those two Japanese guys in the back of the costume shop with the owner's daughter is PURE Kafka.
I like the idea that the message handed to Cruise outside the gates at Somerton - 'give up all your useless attempts to understand what is happening' - is effectively addressed to the audience.
But yes, Kidman's performance, I'm afraid, is simply awful. (Who can recall that stoned scene without cringing?) Cruise, meanwhile, is great.
Zizek makes great play of the kind of idyllic scenes you refer to, arguing that we should see them as integral to Lynch's work, part of what Z calls the 'ridiculous sublime'.
Yeh, there's no doubt that MD is Lynch's masterpiece as far as I'm concerned; I don't see anything else in his oeuvre that can touch it.
it's not like i've got one sixteenth of your intellectual firepower to argue back with; i've just got a ken for Eraserhead.
oh, couldn't agree more w' you about the obvious supremacy of Barry Lyndon btw.
i never actually saw EWS. TBH i'm not really that bothered too either though. am i being terribly mean?
is Kidman's best thing still being oppo' the bonkers Zane in Dead Calm? i have a terrible memory for these things. it certainly isn't Far & Away.


We can order meals on APP, book the hotel on APP and even make transactions on APP. Lance is a man who keep closely up with the pace of technology and science. He likes shopping, ordering meals and traveling on/via the APP of his mobile phone. Therefore it is understandable that he usually regards those out-of-date devices, most of which cannot be connected into his phone. In addition, he is fond of the two-wheel electric self-balancing scooter. However, it is absent of the technology of connection into the mobile phone so he had not bought it. Recently, FOSJOAS rolled out a state-of-the-art model—K3 which can be connected into the mobile phone of the owner. This a highlight of K3 naturally allures Lance into buying it online. Last week, Lance indeed bought it and it arrived at his house the day before yesterday.
After starting up FOSJOAS intelligent two wheel electric scooter K3, Lance quickly tried to connect his mobile phone into FOSJOAS K3. Firstly, he downloaded the APP online. The APP especially used for FOSJOAS K3 is complete free. Shortly after the set-up of the APP, Lance activated it and the harmonious interface looked comfortable in terms of colour. Lance likes it very much. On the APP, Lance had a go at the function of lock/unlock. When he taped the button of lock on the APP, his FOSJOAS K3 was locked in no time. No now can move it at will. When he clicked the button of unlock, the scooter was able to move soon. At the same time, the APP has the ability to locate the FOSJOAS K3. With these functions, Lance will not be concerned about the theft.
Moreover, other functions like speed limit and overall data of status of the scooter also appeal to Lance. Lance smells the sign that the sector of scooter is making a stride now.

Nation-leading driver safety by Sunshine Coast researchers
A team of Sunshine Coast researchers is tackling one of the biggest causes of deaths for the world's adolescents – road crashes.
In nation-leading research, a team from the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) is investigating and trialing a series of programs aimed at keeping young drivers safer on our roads.
Deputy Premier and Treasurer Jackie Trad yesterday met with the USC-based research team during the State Government's governing from the Sunshine Coast. Watch Win News Sunshine Coast's exclusive coverage of the visit:
DRIVER STUDY
University of the Sunshine Coast researchers are hoping to put a roadblock on adolescent driver fatalities.
Posted by WIN News Sunshine Coast on Tuesday, 12 March 2019
Deputy Premier and Treasurer Jackie Trad said around a quarter of all road crashes in Queensland involved a young driver/rider aged between 17 and 24 years old.
"While adolescents constitute just 10 per of the population across the globe they represent close to 27 per cent of all road crash fatalities. That is tragic. That is way too many young lives taken way too early," said Ms Trad.
"Research being undertaken here is assessing existing programs and developing new ones with the aim of addressing an issue which is not just a problem in Queensland and Australia, but around the world."
Ms Trad said Queensland Treasury's Motor Accident Insurance Commission (MAIC), which regulates Queensland's compulsory third party insurance scheme, provides significant funding to a range of road safety-focused programs, including several being undertaken at USC.
Yesterday the Deputy Premier met with Dr Bridie Scott-Parker and other researchers from the Adolescent Risk Research Unit (ARRU) team at USC's Sunshine Coast Mind and Neuroscience – Thompson Institute, led by Professor Jim Lagopoulos. She heard first-hand the impact of their SAFER (situational awareness fast-tracking, including identifying escape routes) program that enhances the skills of young drivers, particularly during the provisional licensing phase.
Broadly based on a trial with her own pre-learner daughter, Dr Scott-Parker said SAFER differs from traditional road safety learner approaches in that it targets young novice drivers prior to them obtaining their learner's permit.
Central to this study is the seating of the pre-learner in the front passenger seat with their attention focused on the driving scene as if they were the driver, while their parent/mentor verbalises everything occurring on the road and the risk management steps they are employing to reduce their risk of being involved in a road crash.
Two pilot programs of SAFER are currently underway in different contexts – young drivers and peer passengers – and their preliminary results are very promising. The pilots have helped young people to improve their situational awareness before they enter the first stage of solo driving in the provisional licensing phase.
ARRU researchers are working on a number of other projects including initiatives focused on older drivers, the impacts of lack of sleep, driver stress and emotions, and driver discourtesy. The ARRU team is also assessing another MAIC-supported program, the PCYC Braking the Cycle mentor-learner initiative at Nambour.
Research findings from the ARRU have been shared widely at international conferences and conventions and in key safety and research publications ensuring findings from the Sunshine Coast projects gain worldwide exposure and promote better well-being for adolescents worldwide.
While visiting the university, Ms Trad also took the opportunity to officially co-launch the new USC Road Safety Research Collaboration Unit with USC Vice Chancellor, Professor Greg Hill. The research unit is jointly funded by MAIC and the university.
Led by Fulbright scholarship recipient Professor Jeremy Davey, this research unit will work closely with MAIC, Queensland Transport, Queensland Police Service and local stakeholders to contribute to the evidence base that will inform future road safety policy and practice in Queensland. This collaboration commenced in February 2019.

Hello to you! I've been away a while because I haven't been nature journaling which is the very reason I don't usually do theme-y posts. It sort of freezes my brain when I feel that kind of responsibility. So silly. I will definitely link to my sweet and talented friends who have produced amazing posts.
Our Jenny went to Disneyland (with her sweet hubby) for her golden birthday (she turned 29 on the 29th). I stayed with the girls. It was fun the first day but the second day brought barfing. Oh no! Yes, poor babies. Isn't Lizzy funny as she body slams Amelia? Amelia is very tough.
This one's life is much easier. He always has access to a lap or a soft spot to snooze. He never gets squished.
Kelli's Halloween costume is so amazing! Have you seen Hocus Pocus? Pretty good lookalike, I say!
I've been dabbling in this book again. So delicious.
I walked down to the post box and the bank today. Cold. Today it is 30 degrees but by Wednesday it will be 70 again. Weird.
So, this is the closest I will get to being nature-y today.
I can't believe it's almost November. October went fast for me.
I've been knitting and getting my sewing corner ready so I can start making my own clothes.
I have been looking through my cross stitch stash and arranging wool for a mixed color cardigan.
I hope you feel ready for November and I hope you have some creative plans.
Hello October people! We had that snow day and our power was out for 24 hours. We were cold and really I didn't know what to do with myself but sit by the window with Tim and knit. We did go to Jeff and Christie's for two meals and phone charges. So thankful.
James and Noah are enjoying fall! The temps have been perfect! Warm and bright!
Christie took the cute pictures of the little darlings.
When it was so cold (for one day) I wore my Norwegian sweater and it really kept me very warm.
I wore my mitts that Danette from Front Porch Knits made! I love them again this year.
Little cuddle bug thinks the nighttime temperatures are conducive to under-the-covers snuggles.
Last week little Plum Cake and I had a coffee break (fika) at Kneader's.
Noah is officially a member of the ice cream cone club.
As you can see our weather is funny. James like to go shirtless (Incredible Hulk) and it has been warm enough to do so.
I wish this book wasn't so heavy because I really want to read it in bed.
I'm trying for a finish by Friday, but I don't think I'll make it. I was bored with the color of this shawl so I spiced it up a bit, maybe too much.
I decided I should use the bunny dishes. Aren't they cute?
As you can see, the flowers are gone. Sadness.
On Monday I met a friend at the Jesuit retreat center. Gorgeous.
I rearranged the living room. You know how that is? You shove things around and find lots of dust bunnies and then the baseboards need a clean . . .
This one is a little perturbed that furniture isn't where it was before but it does give him a better view of the birds at the bird feeder. Well, at least he has a softer seat.
I finally got in to the hairdresser and got my stringy hair cut. Sorry, I cannot help myself and always make goofy faces.
Another cute photo from Christie. LOOK! Shoes!
So finally . . . my nature journal. I do not know what I have been busy doing (besides knitting) but I haven't had a lot of "I wonder what I should do now" time lately.
Maybe I've just been looking out the window like Tim.
Here are a few little excerpts from this helpful book. It's extensive and I think I should attend to it a little bit more.
I have not started sewing because I was waiting for my tissue to make my own pattern. It came! Soon, the sewing adventures!
Take care, glowing person, and thank you very much for popping in and viewing SO many photos!
The beetles feasted on our outdoor roses, but the grocery store roses are beetle free. Yay! Aren't they hearty?
Below we have dust, pollen, bugs, AND that lovely Target garland! I think it's so gorgeous!
I have no finish for the weekend. I have MANY yarn messes on the go.
Brad's been wood burning on spoons. Aw!
Plum and I drove downtown to Fancy Tiger Crafts. I had read a lot about this place on Instagram but it is a TREAT of a store. They stock the loveliest dressmaker fabrics!
Have you heard of 100 Acts of Sewing? Sonya Phillip is an artist who believes in dressing in your own "uniform" and she makes easy patterns. I had to buy a few. You can take one of her classes (I think it's called Handmade Wardrobe Chronicles) on Creative bug. It is a very good class (the top #1 which is pullover blouse). As soon as I can get my sewing moved to the basement I shall begin my uniform sewing.
You know how you read all about a person or an idea and then you forget where you first discovered this "new something"? I THINK I first saw Sonya's stuff on masondixonknitting. I think the idea is to make all your own clothes! A very tall order, I know, but very fun to dream about. Use the # handmadewardrobechronicles #100actsofsewing and #sonyaphillip on Instagram if you'd like to explore further.
Silver Paws spends all morning trapping Bill and I with his boneless relaxing on our laps.
Fall is looking incredibly gorgeous all at once. I drove into Denver (not that far, really) three times this week and the trees on almost every street are stunning. The leaves are falling.
Clara and Millie Rose were chasing the butterflies on Wednesday. My sister saw the butterfly migration in Colorado on her phone's weather app and asked if it was really true. YES! On Wednesday of this week there were millions! So here's my childish nature journal post.
I had another birthday lunch with one of my best buddies and she gave me a huge balloon. I gave it to James.
Christie got her hair cut. Isn't she gorgeous?
This morning Noah napped while I watched the news.
"Go ahead. Pet me. You know you want to."
It's Halloween candy time at the grocery. Yum.
The nasturtiums are so light-filled. I am sorry I keep taking so many photos of them. By the way, I am about ready to take down my garden flags. The squirrels are sharpening their teeth on them and they keep falling.
Can you spot a few butterflies?
Our weather is turning colder for a day (so funny, this Colorado weather) coming up on Monday. The temps will dip to 34 degrees and we'll have snow so all the lovely flowers will probably give up the ghost.
I'm sorry that I've been loosey goosey with the nature journal posting. I'm not one to stick with just one bloggy topic, as you well know.
As I read them, I will post them but I can't say they'll be on a certain day. They may taper off come November. We'll see.
Thank you for coming by, friend.

SpyLocked (also known as SpyLocker, SpywareLocked, SpySheriff, SpywareQuake, SpyFalcon and Brave Sentry) is one of the latest spyware infections plaguing users on the Internet.
SpyLocked is a particularly difficult piece of spyware to remove from your computer, and while there are many spyware and security forums out there that show you how to remove SpyLocked, this is the only complete set of remove SpyLocked instructions available that will not involve spending money or buying a product.
This tutorial will show you how to remove SpyLocked infection from your system at no cost in four easy steps.
This is the SpyLocked scanning screen. If you see this on your PC you are infected with Spylocked. The next three pages of this remove SpyLocked tutorial will show you how to remove the infection without spending money or installing trial software.
In addition to the scanning window, you will also see almost constant popups that appear to be coming from the Windows Security Center, but are actually generated by the SpyLocked spyware infection. These are depicted below.
This is what a typical SpyLocked pop-up alert will look like from your Windows system tray. This alert is not a genuine security alert and is a marker that indicates you are infected with the SpyLocked spyware infection.
Most of the time it is easy to know when your computer is infected with the SpyLocked spyware infection. You will see a popup each time you boot your computer.
The main purpose of SpyLocked is to trick you into thinking that your computer is massively infected with spyware, and the only solution is to purchase the commercial version of SpyLocked to remove the infection. In reality, SpyLocked is the spyware infection, and the typical AntiSpyware utilities (Adaware, Spybot Search and Destroy, Microsoft AntiSpyware, and Windows Defender) can not remove it because SpyLocked is constantly running – even in Safe Mode.
NOTE: It is important that you follow the remove SpyLocked tutorial directions on the following pages EXACTLY to ensure a proper removal of the SpyLocked spyware infection. Skipping steps, or performing actions out of sequence will result in an incomplete SpyLocked removal and probable spyware reinfection. Please click here to bookmark this page (Ctrl+D) so you can return here later after you restart your computer. This remove SpyLocked process will require you to restart your PC.
This remove SpyLocked tutorial consists of three additional steps. Please continue through the remaining three steps in the remove SpyLocked process. The entire remove SpyLocked tutorial should take less than five minutes to complete.
Remove SpyLocked Step 1 – With the introductions out of the way, you will now need to download the tools required to remove SpyLocked from your computer. There are two tools that are needed. Use the links below to download each tool and save it to your Windows Desktop. Right click on each link and select "Save As" and save them to your desktop.
Remove SpyLocked Step 2 Once you have these two tools downloaded, you need to install a secure a secure browser, such as Mozilla Firefox. You were infected with SpyLocked when its creators manipulated your Internet Explorer browser. To successfully remove SpyLocked you must download and install Firefox. After installing Firefox it is critical that you run the Firefox browser at least once. This is important in the remove SpyLocked process! Don't skip this step!
Remove SpyLocked Step 3 – Once you have Firefox installed and have opened it, you need to disable the System restore function in Windows XP or https://www.schrockinnovations.com/disable-system-restore-in-windows-me/. Pieces of the SpyLocked infection can hide in your system restore points, so to remove SpyLocked completely, we strongly suggest you do not skip this step.
Remove SpyLocked Step 4 – Once you have disabled System Restore, you will need to prepare the tool you downloaded for use. To do this, first locate the smitrem.exe file on your desktop. Double click on the file and you will see an extraction window similar to the one on the right. Click on Start and the extractor will create a folder on your desktop called smitrem.
You are now half way through the Remove SpyLocked tutorial. Please continue through the remaining two steps in the remove SpyLocked tutorial.
Remove SpyLocked Step 5. With your tools ready for use, you must now boot your computer into safe mode. You will need to restart your PC to do this, so be sure to click here to bookmark this page. (Ctrl+D) Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode of Windows that will make the remove SpyLocked process much easier.
If you do not know how to boot into Safe Mode, please read our online safe mode help article. Once your computer is in Safe Mode you can proceed with the tools you prepared for to remove SpyLocked in the previous step. Open your Control Panels and double click on Add/Remove Programs. Once the Add/Remove window is open, locate the SpyLocked entry (they are in alphabetical order) and click uninstall.
NOTE: The SpyLocked program will still be popping up those annoying alerts from your taskbar. This is normal. Continue through the rest of the tutorial to complete the remove SpyLocked process and stop the popups.
Remove SpyLocked Step 6 – Next, you are going to use one of the tools you downloaded. Locate the smitrem folder on your desktop and double click on it to open it. Locate a file in the folder named "runthis.bat" and double click on it to launch it. Click "Yes" on any security warnings that pop up. Follow the on-screen directions to move through the smitrem tool.
Once it has completed, the tool will exit and an automatic disk cleanup will be launched. This cleanup can take anywhere from minutes to hours to run, so be patient and do not interrupt it. Once the disk cleanup is finished, the majority of the SpyLocked infection has been removed from your system. However, there are still some manual cleanup steps you will need to perform to finish the job.
Remove SpyLocked Step 7 – Now we have to get rid of the SpyLocked spyware application so it stops popping up alerts in the future. To do this you must end the SpyLocked task. By design, the task is difficult to identify. First, press the "ctrl" + "alt" + "del" keys at the same time. The Task Manager window should now appear. Click on the "Processes" tab. Under Process Name, look for any of the tasks listed below in the list in your computer.
If you find any matches, highlight the task by left clicking on it, and then click on the "End Process" button. End any and all matches you find, because there could be more than one. As you end the processes, be sure to click "Yes" to any warning boxes that pop up. The SpyLocked alerts in the taskbar should now stop popping up.
You are almost done with the remove SpyLocked tutorial. There is only one step left. Please move on to the fourth and final remove SpyLocked step.
SpyLocked Removal Step 8 – Next you will need to use your comuter's search function to look for and delete the last of SpyLocked's files. Depending on the particular infection that is on your computer, you may find some or all of these files.
Some users have reported that SpyLocked has continually reinfected their computers after it has been successfully removed. To prevent this from happening to you, we recommend that you download and install SpyDoctor as a component of the FREE Google Pack.
After you have installed the free Google Pack, you have completed the remove SpyLocked tutorial.

Anna Paden Carson Awarded Fulbright Teaching Assistantship to Colombia
By Julie Cline
Washington and Lee University senior Anna Paden Carson of Roanoke, Virginia, has been awarded a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship (ETA) to Colombia.
The ETA will give Carson the opportunity to teach English at a public college or university in Colombia and "then when I'm not teaching, I'll be expected to find an internship or steady volunteer position in a field that interests me and can hopefully help to further my future in human rights/immigration," Carson said.
"Whether that takes the form of an organization that helps impoverished families, abused or mistreated women, underprivileged children or immigrants fleeing persecution. I'll have to wait to see."
She also said that "culturally, I am drawn to all things Colombian, and I plan to integrate myself there by becoming a regular at a local café and playing in whatever fútbol game will have me."
Carson worked with nonprofit organizations that provided legal assistance to undocumented immigrant women who were victims of domestic violence as a legal advocate for Tapestri in Atlanta and with the detained immigrant population as a legal intern for Capital Area Immigrants' Rights (CAIR) in Washington. She noticed that nearly all of her clients were Latinos. This was one of the reasons she chose Colombia for her ETA.
"I'm thrilled to hear that Anna Paden Carson will be teaching English as a Fulbright Scholar this coming year in Colombia," said Claudia Cubas, Capital Area Immigrants' Rights Coalition. "Anna Paden has the maturity and tenacity to get things done. She was a great intern during this past summer at CAIR Coalition that we went ahead and re-hired her for our Virginia Justice Program to conduct research to support an impact litigation project in connection with the Immigrant Defense Project."
"Anna Paden will be an excellent representative for the United States, bringing a superb intellect fueled both by her passion for learning and her enthusiasm, and a desire to work with others," said David Novack, W&L professor of sociology. "The combination of her Spanish major, Poverty minor and courses in the social sciences has clearly provided her with important language skills and an appreciation of the culture of Colombia.
"Anna Paden's work to ensure legal representation and basic human rights to minorities and marginalized communities such as detained immigrants, and refugee victims of domestic violence in places like Georgia, the U.S. or the Dominican Republic demonstrates a young person conscientiously committed to education as a transformative experience," said Antonio Reyes, assistant professor of Spanish."
She is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Eta Sigma Honor Society, First-Year Orientation Committee and Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. She received the Barritt and Williams Jr. Prize in Spanish and a Johnson Opportunity Grant for advocacy efforts in Washington.
Carson was on the Speakers Committee of W&L's 2016 Mock Convention and was named W&L's Emerging Leader of the Year. She also received the Kendrick Memorial Outdoor Grant for educational travel to the Dominican Republic.
She is a Spanish translator with the W&L School of Law's Immigration Clinic, and was a teacher's assistant and tutor for English for Speakers of Other Languages and is the lead researcher with CAIR coalition.
"I could not be more excited to go to Colombia next year on the Fulbright Grant," Carson said. "I have no doubt my year spent abroad will help to both further my Spanish abilities and give me a greater understanding and appreciation of the very population I hope to devote my life to in immigration and human rights law. This grant would never have been possible without the continued support of my family, my friends and the W&L faculty."

Israeli Ag Minister Backs Off Plans to Deport Stray Cats and Dogs
Erica Terry
Israeli animal rights groups were up in arms after Agricultural Minister Ari Uriel proposed deporting stray cats to prevent overpopulation.
Now, it appears the Ag Minister has backed off the plan which drew widespread ridicule in both Israel and abroad.
In a letter to Environmental Protection Minister Avi Gabai, the Agricultural Minister initially proposed transferring "stray dogs and/or cats of one gender [all the males or all the females] to a foreign nation that will agree to accept them."
The country that would have been approached to take in the deported cats and dogs was not named.
The Agricultural Minister's intended goal was to stop Israel's growing stray animal problem in a way that, according to him, did not violate the Biblical commandment to be fruitful and multiply. However, animal rights groups claimed that the plan, which was estimated to cost $1.2 million, would actually make things worse in a country already plagued by strays because it would reduce the amount being spent to spay and neuter animals around the country.
"Since the only way to minimize the reproduction of stray animals is through spaying and neutering, that is the sole use for these funds," leading animal rights group Let Animals Live! wrote in response to Uriel's plan.
The group also said that since the legislation was intended initially to provide funding to sterilize animals, that they would take the matter to court.
In response to the public outcry, Ariel decided not to pursue the cat and dog deportation program but, citing his beliefs, also did not allocate any money for spaying and neutering programs for the coming year.
Instead, Ariel plans to use the money for research to find an alternative method to stop the growing stray animal population without sterilization.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday Let Animals Live! filed a suit in the Supreme Court to demand the funds be returned to already underfunded spay and neutering programs aimed primarily at Israel's huge number of stray cats.

Q: torsion theories localizing the base ring to the same ring If two torsion theories on a ring localize the ring to the same extension ring, I can find no reason that their "meet" in the lattice of torsion theories must also localize to the same ring.  I cannot find anything in Golan's encyclopedia that addresses questions like this.
Does anyone have a counter-example?
Here is a weaker question, not directly related to torsion theories.
Is there an example of the following:
A ring homomorphism  R $\to$ S , S-modules  P  and  Q , R-monomorphisms  M $\to$ P  and  M $\to$ Q  such that the image of each is an essential  R-submodule, but such that the image of  M  in  P $\times$ Q  has no essential extension within the product that is an  S-submodule

A: As you mention Golan, I guess that all your torsion theories are hereditary. Let $\tau_1$ and $\tau_2$ be t.t. on Mod$(R)$ and $\phi_1:R\to R_1$, $\phi_2:R\to R_2$ the two loc. of $R$. The fact that there exists an isomorphism $\phi:R_1\to R_2$ s.t. $\phi\phi_1=\phi_2$, means that $-\otimes_RR_1$ is naturally eq. to $-\otimes_RR_2$. If $\tau_1$ and $\tau_2$ are perfect then these functors coincide with the localization functors. Thus, in such case, $M\in \mathcal T_{\tau_1}$ (the torsion class of $\tau_1$) iff $M\otimes_RR_1=0$ iff $M\otimes_RR_2=0$ iff $M\in \mathcal T_{\tau_2}$. So $ \mathcal T_{\tau_1}=\mathcal T_{\tau_2}$, that is, $\tau_1=\tau_2$.
If your torsion theories are not perfect I do not remember if $\ker(-\otimes_RR_1)=\mathcal T_1$ holds true, if so you should be able to proceed as above...

A: I also assume that by torsion theory we mean hereditary torsion theory. I use Bo Stenström's book Rings of Quotients (especially chapter IX §2 later on). And today I work with right modules.
If by "the same" you really mean nothing more than that they are isomorphic as rings, the following should be an easy counterexample.
Take $k$ a field, let $R = k \times k$ and $e:= (1,0)$. The Gabriel topologies $\mathfrak{F}_1 := \lbrace R, (e) \rbrace$ and $\mathfrak{F}_2 := \lbrace R, (1-e) \rbrace$ with corresponding torsion theories $t_1(M) = (1-e)M$ and $t_2(M) = eM$ have meet $\mathfrak{F}_0 = \lbrace R \rbrace$ with torsion theory $t_0 = 0$.
The localisations are given by $pr_1 : R \rightarrow k = R_{\mathfrak{F}_1} = eR$ and $pr_2 : R \rightarrow k = R_{\mathfrak{F}_{2}} = (1-e)R$,
but the localisation for $\mathfrak{F}_0$ is given by $id: R = R_{\mathfrak{F}_0}$.
Remark that the $R_{\mathfrak{F}_i}$ for $i =1,2$ really are just isomorphic as rings. There is no isomorphism compatible with the localisations, in fact they are not isomorphic as $R$-modules.

If, on the other hand, we have an isomorphism $j: R_{\mathfrak{F}_1} \xrightarrow{\sim} R_{\mathfrak{F}_2}$ such that for the localisations $\psi_i: R \rightarrow R_{\mathfrak{F}_i}$ we have $j \circ \psi_1 = \psi_2$, then I think the meet will be isomorphic, i.e. we then have $R_{\mathfrak{F}_1 \wedge \mathfrak{F}_2} \simeq R_{\mathfrak{F}_i}$. Here is a sketch of a proof.
First note that because $t_i(R) = ker (\psi_i)$, we have $t_1(R) = t_2(R) =: t(R)$. Set $\bar R := R/t(R)$ and fix an injective hull $E(\bar R)$ of the right $R$-module $\bar R$. It is known that
$R_{\mathfrak{F}_i} \cong \lbrace x \in E(\bar R) | (\bar R : x) \in \mathfrak{F}_i\rbrace $
where $(\bar R:x) := \lbrace r \in R: xr \in \bar R \rbrace$. Using this identification, the maps $\psi_i$ become induced by $R \twoheadrightarrow \bar R \hookrightarrow E(\bar R)$, and the map $j$ becomes $R$-linear and fixes $\bar R$. This implies $(\bar R : x) = (\bar R : j(x))$ for all $x \in R_{\mathfrak{F}_1}$. On the other hand for these $x$ we have $(\bar R : x) \in \mathfrak{F}_1$ and $(\bar R : j(x)) \in \mathfrak{F}_2$, so by symmetry it turns out that a) the localisations are really equal as $R$-submodules of $E(\bar R)$, b) for $x \in E(\bar R)$, we have $(\bar R : x) \in \mathfrak{F}_1 \Leftrightarrow (\bar R : x) \in \mathfrak{F}_2 \Leftrightarrow (\bar R : x) \in \mathfrak{F}_1 \wedge \mathfrak{F}_2$, and thus
$R_{\mathfrak{F}_1} = R_{\mathfrak{F}_2} = R_{\mathfrak{F}_1 \wedge \mathfrak{F}_2}$
as $R$-modules (and rings).
By the way, the same argument should now go through for any $R$-module $M$ with localisation-compatible isomorphism $M_{\mathfrak{F}_1} \cong M_{\mathfrak{F}_2}$.

The President is often referred to as the de jure head of the Indian State in contrast to the Prime Minister, who is referred to as the de facto head. Article 74 of the Indian Constitution defines the relation between the Council of Ministers and the President and till the Forty Second Amendment in the year 1977, it was unclear whether the advice of the Council was binding on the President. However, the 42nd amendment did away with any such ambiguity, making the advice of the Council binding on the President. The 44th amendment in the year 1978 allowed the President to send any bill back for reconsideration, yet even if the same is sent back to the President, then he is obligate to sign .
Having elaborated on how the President is essentially the titular head of the Indian Democracy, let us now see the different powers given to the President by the Constitution.
Legislative powers are vested by the Constitution to the Parliament, of which the President is the head. The President summons both the Houses and prorogues them. The President may dissolve the Lok Sabha as well.
Under Article 87(1), the President inaugurates the parliament by addressing it after the general elections and also at the beginning of the first session of the year. Such addresses generally outline the new policies of the government.
All bills require the assent of the President. The President can assent or withhold his assent to a bill or can send back a bill for reconsideration (unless it is a money bill). However, in such a case, the President must accept the bill as it is submitted again.
The President also has the power to issue ordinances if either of the two Houses are not in session and if the government feels the need for an immediate procedure.
Article 53 confers the executive power of the country to the President and is exercised by the President either directly or through officers subordinate to him in accordance with the Constitution. Union cabinet with Prime Minister as its head, should aid and advice the President in performing his functions. As per Article 74 (2), the council of ministers or Prime Minister are not accountable legally to the advice tendered to the President but it is the sole responsibility of the President to ensure compliance with the constitution in performing his duties.
The President appoints, as Prime Minister, the person most likely to command the support of the majority in the Lok Sabha (usually the leader of the majority party or coalition). The President then appoints the other members of the Council of Ministers, distributing portfolios to them on the advice of the Prime Minister. The Council of Ministers remains in power at the 'pleasure' of the President.
9. Ambassadors and High Commissioners to other countries (only through the list of names given by the Prime Minister).
A money bill can be introduced in the Parliament only with the President's recommendation. The President lays the Annual Financial Statement, i.e. the Union budget, before the Parliament. The President can take advances out of the Contingency Fund of India to meet unforeseen expenses. The President constitutes a Finance commission after every five years to recommend the distribution of the taxes between the Centre and the States.
It is the President's duty to appoint the Chief Justice of the Union Judiciary and other judges on the advice of the Chief Justice. He can then dismiss a judge if and only if the two Houses of the Parliament pass resolutions to that effect by a two-third majority of the members present.
By means of Article 143, the President can ask for the advisory opinion of the Supreme Court on a question of law or a matter of public importance.
Any international treaty and agreement is negotiated and concluded on behalf of the President. However, in practice, such negotiations are usually carried out by the Prime Minister along with his Cabinet (especially the Foreign Minister). Also, such treaties are subject to the approval of the Parliament. The President represents India in international forums and affairs where such a function is chiefly ceremonial. The President may also send and receive diplomats, i.e. the officers from the Indian Foreign Service. The President is the first citizen of the country.
The President is the Commander-in-Chief of the Defence forces of India. The President can declare war or conclude peace, subject to the approval of the Parliament and the advice of the Prime Minister, Council of the Chiefs of Staffs of the Armed Forces, Military Secretary and President's Officer (Deputy Military Secretary). He also appoints the chiefs of the service branches of the armed forces.
The pardoning rights of a President are independent of the opinions of the Lok Sabha majority or the Council of Ministers.

Kadokawa Haruki
Entry updated 5 August 2020. Tagged: Author, Film.
(1942- ) Japanese producer, director, poet and businessman, instrumental in many prominent movie releases and publishing fads of the 1980s and 1990s. His early successes in the family firm, Kadokawa Shoten (a market leader in sf and many other genres), included a decision to publish Ties to American movies far ahead of the cinema release, beginning with Eric Segal's Love Story (1970, trans as Aru Ai no Shi 1971). Arguably, he arrived in the movie business backwards, after realizing that Cinema releases based on his company's own books would lead to each advertising the other. As such, he is remembered, partly through his own self-commemoration, as one of the pioneers of the synergistic strategies of what is now called the media mix or contents industry.
Kadokawa's dabblings in the movie world have met with wildly mixed success. As producer, his Fukkatsu no Hi (1981 vt Virus) was a flop. His edgier achievements include his exploitation of mae-uri ["pre-selling"], a marketing tactic in the Japanese media to aggressively push advance sales of cinema tickets to augment opening-day attendances. In the hands of Kadokawa and his rivals, this was industrialized to ludicrous levels, with tickets handed out in lieu of bonuses to company employees, or pushed on colleagues as compulsory obligations for continued business. The critic and reader might like to contemplate the implications of a Media Landscape in which a single company controls not only the film that plays to empty cinemas, but the Magazines that still report it as a roaring success. At the peak of such madness, the samurai epic Ten to Chi to ["Heaven and Earth"] (1990) cost six billion yen, but somehow pre-sold 4.8 million tickets, before anyone could see it. Kadokawa was also deeply influential on the company's continued support both of traditional prose sf and of lighter, more ephemeral fare linked to anime and computer Videogames; Newtype magazine, one of the leading journals of anime Fandom, began publication under his watch.
His tactics were less effective in the American market, where Ruby Cairo (1992 vt Deception), in which a man fakes his own death to conceal his smuggling lifestyle, failed to find a distributor. Shortly afterwards, Kadokawa was, perhaps unsurprisingly, himself indicted on cocaine smuggling charges, and served two-and-a-half years in prison. His incarceration generated intensely adverse publicity for the corporation that bore his name, caused Rex: Kyōryū Monogatari (1993 vt Rex: A Dinosaur Story) to be pulled from cinemas, and led to his dismissal, amid fears that the eccentricities of the company's self-styled "Manga generation" son would threaten its more lucrative blue-chip school textbook business.
Released from jail, Kadokawa seemingly still had the ability to find money somewhere, and embarked on numerous high-profile endeavours, including sailing a replica of Christopher Columbus's ship, and directing one of the iterations of Toki o Kakeru Shōjo (1997; vt The Girl Who Leapt Through Time). The Kadokawa company continued to work in the contents industry under the control of his younger brother Tsuguhiko, and can be found behind many landmark works of modern, fan-friendly Anime and its ties, such as The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (see Nagaru Tanigawa). Kadokawa's autobiography, Wa ga Tōsō: Furyō Seinen wa Sekai o Mezasu ["My Struggle: A Delinquent Youth Aims at the World"] (2005), has a title that deliberately recalls the Japanese translation of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf (1925-1926), an allusion made in bad taste, but seemingly with a heartfelt appreciation of his inspiration's ability to manipulate the media and tell the largest of lies. It also features a fantastic cover by Annie Leibowitz, depicting its author in samurai armour on a Tokyo overpass, artfully imparting his flamboyant charm and playful vainglory. [JonC]

Today there are so many creative and unique ways to change up the look of a room, and one of my new favorites is painting the moldings in the room a different color. Here you'll see an office that was transformed from the typical white door and window trim into an artistic masterpiece.
By using the area rug as my inspiration I played off the black and soft yellow hues and painted the walls a color called Butter Yellow and the trim and doors Black. Since the homeowner had black and ebony furniture and black decorations I decided to play up the room by adding more black to the walls.
With new crown molding installed the black trim and doors made the soft yellow walls pop and the furniture was complimented perfectly.
When working with your furniture at home, don't be afraid to play it up by adding subtle features in the same color like painting the doors and trim to match. And never be intimidated or afraid of working with black paint as it can bring a sophisticated ambiance to your room and home!
