Miguel Herrera fired as Mexico manager after alleged reporter attack
Mexico has fired manager Miguel Herrera after he allegedly attacked a reporter at the airport in Philadelphia following El Tri's Gold Cup triumph. Where does El Tri go from here and what does it mean for Mexico's Confederations Cup playoff against the USA?
By Avi Creditor
Miguel Herrera is out as Mexico manager in a stunning development, just two days after guiding El Tri to its record seventh CONCACAF Gold Cup championship.
Herrera allegedly attacked TV Azteca reporter Christian Martinoli at the Philadelphia airport after the win, although scant video evidence has been produced to confirm it. Univision Deportes showed cell phone footage of the supposed encounter early Tuesday morning, but there was no smoking gun, no visible proof that Herrera indeed put his hands on Martinoli.
Nevertheless, the one-man GIF machine is out after reviving Mexico following a lackluster 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign, managing El Tri to the World Cup round of 16 and another continental title. The record will show that the fiery, brazen and boisterous Herrera stepped in and stabilized Mexico, but the manner in which he leaves threatens to weaken the foundation with a crucial match against the USA just about 10 weeks away.
Here are three thoughts on Herrera's firing:
This seems like a convenient excuse
The writing had been on the wall for Herrera that a Gold Cup failure would've cost him his job. As is usually the case with Mexico, a failure to meet expectations means a new coach. Sometimes, a failure to win a single World Cup qualifier means a new coach (or three, as was the case in 2013). The fact that Mexico went winless at Copa America and then labored through the Gold Cup until the stellar showing in the final made it certainly seem that the FMF (Mexican federation) and the Liga MX owners who often wield the decisive influence, were mobilizing for another change.
Mexico beats Jamaica to win seventh Gold Cup, set up meeting with USA
Mexico winning the Gold Cup made replacing Herrera awfully difficult to rationalize. There's no way anyone could have anticipated this incident–or near incident, as it were–happening so soon, but it certainly gives the powers that be the convenient excuse they needed to pull the trigger. Once the bloom falls off the rose during your tenure as Mexico manager, there's little that can be done to restore your place in everyone's good graces.
Not even a trophy fully restored Herrera–who, don't forget, came under fire for political comments made during the country's elections–into a more secure place.
Had Herrera failed to lead Mexico over the U.S. at the Rose Bowl in CONCACAF's playoff for the region's 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup on October 9, the ax likely would've dropped then instead. And if not then, then for something else. Such is life on the Mexico manager hot seat.
Its impact on the Confederations Cup playoff
The development couldn't have come at a worse time for Mexico. On the heels of the Gold Cup triumph–which was completed Sunday night without the likes of Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez, Giovani Dos Santos, Carlos Vela and Hector Moreno in the lineup–the nation has CONCACAF bragging rights entering the playoff against the U.S. But where does this leave Mexico, and what does it do for team morale?
CONCACAF gets marquee USA-Mexico clash with Confed Cup berth on line
Dos Santos and his brother, Jonathan, both publicly tweeted support of Herrera, who, by all accounts, was popular among his players. Now they'll all have to quickly buy in under someone else's leadership and tactics with just two match dates remaining prior to the rumble at the Rose Bowl. September friendlies against Trinidad & Tobago (which has no fear of Mexico after their wild 4-4 Gold Cup group encounter) and Argentina don't exactly present opportunities to go through the motions and learn on the fly without any ramifications.
Was this a shortsighted decision, or not? That ultimately remains to be seen, but after finally appearing to have stability for the first time, Mexico is back on shaky ground.

Herrera was what Mexico needed
Herrera was certainly the beneficiary of some good luck. What if CONCACAF was drawn against CONMEBOL in the playoff for the place in the 2014 World Cup like it was in 2010? A two-game playoff against New Zealand wasn't exactly the most difficult objective for the incoming manager. And at the Gold Cup, Herrera and Mexico could have easily fallen in the quarterfinals and semifinals, had it not been for some awfully mysterious referee decisions.
Viva El Piojo: How the fiery Herrera has revived once-rudderless Mexico
But at the same time, he pulled the right strings in the last 21 months. He restored Rafa Marquez in defense and as Mexico captain upon his arrival, and it worked (well, until the "no era penal" debacle in the World Cup round of 16). He turned to domestic players from Club America he knew he could manage and get the most out of, and they delivered, leading Mexico over New Zealand in that playoff and securing El Tri's place in Brazil.
He eventually found a way to smooth things over with Carlos Vela and bring him back in the fold, and while Vela struggled during the Gold Cup to match his top club form, he's another tool in the arsenal. He gave Jesus "Tecatito" Corona a place on the senior squad, and at times Corona looked like Mexico's most capable attacking talent in the Gold Cup.

It should be mentioned, too, that Herrera had no problem with his players joining MLS, stating publicly that it had no impact on his player selection. Will that be the case going forward under the new manager? Giovani Dos Santos just signed a lucrative deal with the LA Galaxy for, reportedly, the next four and a half years. Cubo Torres just kicked off his stint with the Houston Dynamo. MLS teams are in hot pursuit of Chicharito, and while he may ultimately stay abroad in Europe, it's never felt like a more realistic time for him to sign with the league. After a breakthrough among Mexican talent in its prime joining MLS, you wonder if that might be frowned upon under whoever gets tabbed as Herrera's replacement.

by Vending Glasgow | Feb 16, 2017 | General News
The New £1 Coin Transition For Vending Machines
We've been working harder than ever to update all of our vending machines for the release of the shiny new £1 coin. We want to make sure that every single machine is updated and ready for our customers BEFORE the release date to ensure our customers encounter no problems with the transition. We've been lucky enough to have been issued with test coins from the Royal Mint so we can make sure everything is working as it should.
The new £1 coin will be introduced on the 28th of March 2017. The current £1 coin is being replaced for the first time in over thirty years because of its vulnerability to sophisticated counterfeiters.
Approximately one in thirty £1 coins in circulation is a counterfeit.
From the launch of the new £1 coin, the existing £1 coin will begin to be withdrawn from circulation.
28th March: The 12-sided £1 coin will be released. Its likely it will take a bit of time to reach your pockets.
28th March – 15th October: Throughout this six month period both coins will be accepted as legal tender. The banks will not release any of the old style coin.
16th October 2017: The Round £1 will no longer be legal tender from this day forward.
We will be accepting both types of coins in our machines for the time being.
Be sure to have exchanged all your £1 coins before October – or pop it into one of our machines for a cheeky bottle of Coca Cola!

Norway's wealth fund may blacklist firms over emissions, corruption risk
Mar 09, 2017 19:55 PM GMT+0530 | 0 Comment(s)
LYSAKER, Norway, March 9 (Reuters) - The ethics watchdog for Norway's $900-billion sovereign wealth fund will recommend this year that the fund exclude or put on a watch list several firms in the oil, cement and steel industries for emitting too much greenhouse gas.
Carbon emissions are a new criteria for the fund, which was built up from the proceeds of Norway's own large oil industry and operates under ethical guidelines set by parliament.
The world's largest sovereign wealth fund, it has shares in 9,000 companies, 1.3 percent of the entire world's listed equity, giving the decisions it takes to drop or reinstate shareholdings or warn firms considerable weight among investors.
The chairman of the fund's independent Council on Ethics, Johan H. Andresen, acknowledged in an interview what he called the "duality" of a fund based on oil divesting over emissions, but said his job was to execute rather than set a mandate.
The fund may also exclude several firms in the defence, telecoms and arms industries this year over the risk of corruption, he said.
The council's recommendations go to the board of the central bank, which usually follows its advice.
Speaking in an interview ahead of publication of the council's annual report on Thursday, Andresen said it was already working on the first recommendation over emissions, expected to come by July.
"It will be a company either in the oil or concrete industry ... We have to start with the worst and make our way through the industries," he said, adding that there would be a "small handful" of recommendations to the board in 2017.
The 55-year-old Norwegian, who also owns private investment vehicle Ferd, said the ethics panel would open a probe into the risk of corruption in the pharmaceuticals sector and investigate possible human rights abuses among firms recruiting staff for work in the Gulf States - including a "well known Western" firm.
It will also investigate reported abuses in the textile industry in India and Bangladesh.
The fund has stakes of more than 2 percent in 1,158 companies, more than 5 percent in 28 companies and an average stake holding in Europe of 2.3 percent. Such a wide spread makes it difficult to identify which companies it is investigating.
"BAD APPLES"
The ethics procedure was launched at the start of the millennium and 65 companies are presently excluded on recommendations by the Council on Ethics, on various grounds. Another 69 companies are excluded directly by the central bank based on their dependence on thermal coal.
The fund sells shares in any company it wishes to drop gradually, before any announcement, but being dropped or named as a source of concern can damage a company's investment image. Andresen said the main aim was to remove the ethical risk.
The fund is forbidden by law from investing in firms that produce nuclear weapons or landmines, or are involved in serious and systematic human rights violations, among other criteria.
Following a three-year study on the risk of corruption in the telecoms, defence and energy industries, the council has sent up several recommendations to the board of the central bank to either exclude or observe companies in these sectors.
"They have the same type of risk elements: large contracts, government as a counterpart, lack of transparency/desire to keep things secret and a large number of middlemen. When you add them, they constitute a greater risk of corruption," Andresen said.
The pharmaceuticals industry has the same elements of risk, he said. "We have received indications that there is a risk of corruption. We have enough indications to take a strong look."
The council will also look into reports by rights groups of slavery-like conditions for North Koreans employed by companies in Eastern Europe, mostly in the manufacturing of heavy goods.
On the issue of recruitment for work in the Gulf States from other parts of Asia, Andresen said he was optimistic over the process of talks with the Western company he mentioned.
"I am hopeful that they see it in their interest to change their practices and that it may be an impetus for other companies to follow. It is a well-known actor. It would be a great signal to others that this practice ended."
Last year the council looked into the construction industry in Qatar - host of the 2022 soccer World Cup - and neighbouring countries, after reports of abuse by human rights groups.
"Authorities in Qatar have issued new regulations forcing companies to better their practices, with more decent living and working conditions and the ability for a worker to keep his/her passport," he said. "I had anticipated a larger number of exclusions, but several companies show some progress."
Andresen cited one unnamed firm which he said had reported reducing its corruption risk and also saving money by cutting the number of middlemen.
"Others are much more, 'let's just see what happens, we don't think we are guilty, these were some bad apples'."

Hate Speech and Incitement: From Der Stürmer to Facebook
Remarks delivered by Dr. Simon Adams, Executive Director of the Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect, at the "Responsibility to Protect and Hate Speech" event hosted by the European Union and the Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect on 26 June 2019 in New York.
I'd like to thank the European Union for co-hosting today's event with us, as well as the UN Secretary-General's Special Advisor on R2P, Karen Smith, for agreeing to speak today, and Sherine Tadros from Amnesty International for moderating.
Let's start at the beginning. If you go back to those two paragraphs of the 2005 World Summit Outcome Document where R2P was adopted, there is a very deliberate use of three words, enclosed within two discrete commas:
138. Each individual State has the responsibility to protect its populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity. This responsibility entails the prevention of such crimes, including their incitement, through appropriate and necessary means."
The inclusion of incitement was a very conscious political decision. Hate speech and violent incitement tend to go hand in hand. And in this sense, understanding hate speech (and punishing it) has been central to attempts to understand genocide and atrocities for more than 70 years.
As far back as the Nuremburg Trials at the end of World War Two, Julius Streicher, a Nazi propagandist who was best-known as being the publisher of Der Stürmer, a popular anti-Semitic newspaper, was found guilty of crimes against humanity. The verdict against Streicher said that: "For his 25 years of speaking, writing and preaching hatred of the Jews, Streicher was widely known as 'Jew-Baiter Number One.' In his speeches and articles, week after week, month after month, he infected the German mind with the virus of anti-Semitism and incited the German people to active persecution."
Streicher was hanged in 1946. Fifty years later, during the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, the RTLM radio station played a key role promoting hate speech regarding the Tutsi, inciting the genocide, and even directing the killers with the names of potential victims who had not yet been murdered. The UN Force Commander in Rwanda, Romeo Dallaire, famously requested that the US government jam the radio signal of RTLM but he was told that it was too expensive to do so, and that it would be a violation of Rwanda's national sovereignty.
And we have seen hate speech play a crucial role in more recent atrocities committed in different parts of the world, most noticeably in relation to the Genocide against the Rohingya in Myanmar.
Across time – and despite obvious differences between all situations – there are some common elements. Fundamentally, hate speech is about weaponizing stereotypes. One recurring theme is the regularity with which the metaphoric language of "infection" or "infestation" is deployed in relation to the target group. The Nazis called Jews parasites. The Hutu genocidaire referred to Tutsi as cockroaches. Similar language is deployed in hate speech recently directed against minorities in the Middle East, against Rohingya, and so on, who are often called rats or a cancer.
This language is significant because the only way to get rid of an infestation of pests is to eliminate them. You don't kill half the bedbugs in your bed. You seek out and destroy them all and exterminate their presence in your house.
You don't operate on part of a cancer. You surgically cut it out and ensure it can't grow back. The terrible simplicity of such metaphors – when deployed against a target group – is that you don't have to spell out the solution to the problem. Simply calling people rats, cockroaches or a cancer on humanity implies an outcome that you are slowly trying to move people towards.
Another interesting thing about hate speech is that it doesn't have to work with everybody. Apparently Hermann Goering, the second in command in the Third Reich under Hitler, saw Streicher as an embarrassment and forbid his own staff from reading Der Stürmer. There were also plenty of people inside Nazi Germany who saw Hitler's anti-Semitism as foolish and irrelevant. They were more interested in his economic policies, or in making Germany great again.
The more important question – then and now – is who does the hate speech resonate with? Der Stürmer's anti-Semitism was directed at "the base" of the NSDAP (the Nazi Party) and so-called ordinary Germans who were angry about the state of their country, and the world, and wanted someone to blame. They were the ones who were prepared to accept the race laws, the marginalization of the Jews, followed by the construction of concentration camps and eventually, gradually, the Einsatzgruppen and a "final solution."
In short, Nazi hate speech was directed at mobilizing those who voted for Hitler and now hoped that he would do what he promised with the Jews – punish them. But it also contributed to a shift in the identity of Germans. Nazi hate speech said that you could not be German and a Jew. It redefined identity and excluded Jews as "the other."
These lessons from history are worth reiterating - not just because anti-Semitic tropes and hate speech by the far-right and neo-Nazis are making a disturbing comeback in Europe - but because the pattern that is discernible in the 1930s, recurs in almost every example of mass atrocities that we have experienced since then. It is true of Cambodia. It is true of Bosnia. It is true of South Sudan or Myanmar today where identities are contested, redefined and weaponized. And where hate speech has played a crucial role in turning the soil before the actual digging of the mass graves commences.
The irony is that sometimes hate speech is presented in altruistic terms. For example, when the genocide against the Rohingya was happening in late 2017 I would often get trolled by people from Myanmar who would send me horrible cartoons of stereotypical Muslim characters gang-raping Buddhist women. There would often be an adjoining message saying something like "how would you feel if this was your sister" and then some comment about how the Army was protecting people from the Rohingya who were all terrorists, rapists and land thieves. The fact that 800,000 Rohingya civilians were violently displaced, that mass rape and mass killings of innocent Rohingya took place, barely registered with such people.
And so, how should we address the problem of hate speech today? There are three central elements to this question:
1.	What constitutes hate speech as opposed to just "ugly speech"? Where is the threshold for public danger?
2.	What is the role of technology?
3.	How should we respond?
Firstly, it seems to me that in most cases the line between ugly speech (ie: something racist someone might privately say) and actual hate speech (which incites, mobilizes and targets) is usually pretty clear. We need not get ourselves wrapped around the axle debating whether specific instances of genocide denial, or of denigrating entire categories of people on the basis of their ethnic, religious, or sexual identity, are hate speech.
Hate speech is about public targeting. There can be no such thing as free speech for any aspiring genocidaire, and for those who want to see the return of the politics of the mass grave, the concentration camp or the machete. Not in Europe, not anywhere.
We need to shut down hate speech where ever and whenever it occurs. No exceptions.
Secondly, Technology is just a tool. The Nazis used newspapers, the Hutu genocidaire used radio, and the Army in Myanmar used Facebook. The tool changes, but the political process is often similar.
Or in other words, technology is neutral, but those who use it are not. Governments and multilateral bodies need to increase the pressure on Facebook, Twitter, and on local governments and regional bodies, to actively stop hate speech from being propagated on all media platforms. The EU, for example, should be congratulated for its efforts to push for greater accountability in this regard.
In many developing countries where atrocities have recently occurred, Facebook was used to help construct a narrative of hate. But other platforms like WhatsApp were actually used to organize to act on that hate. This is one of the reasons, following the experience of the post-election violence in 2007-2008, why Kenya has put in place laws to prohibit incitement across multiple platforms. And so all this talk about algorithms and the complexity of social media cannot become an excuse for inaction. The corporate sector and the governmental sector both need to uphold their responsibilities.
Thirdly, hate speech is all about forging identities amongst both the targeted group and the group that is doing the targeting. We can disrupt that.
We need to strengthen alternative identities. We need to build national, regional and global identities that embrace difference and are only intolerant of intolerance. The antidote to hate speech is speech that promotes and protects everyone's human rights.

English: The Union Minière du Haut Katanga (UMHK) was a Belgian mining company, once operating in Katanga, in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly, Congo Free State, from 1908, Belgian Congo, from 1972, Zaire). It was created on October 28, 1906, as a result of a merger of a company created by Léopold II and Tanganyika Concessions Ltd (a British company created by Robert Williams, which started prospecting for minerals in 1899, and was granted mining concessions in 1900), in order to exploit the mineral wealth of Katanga. It was owned jointly by the Société Générale de Belgique, Belgium's largest holding company (which controlled 70% of the Congolese economy) and Tanganyika Concessions Ltd. Some of the remains of the UMHK form part of the present day company Umicore.
Français : L'Union minière du Haut Katanga (UMHK) fut un groupe industriel minier belge établi au Katanga, dans l'actuelle République démocratique du Congo (anciennement État indépendant du Congo et, à partir de 1908, Congo belge, puis Zaïre de 1972 à 1997).

Cooper's Last
Imagining the Post-Human
Simon Cooper Recent books by Kazuo Ishiguro and Michel Houellebecq offer guides of sorts to the post-human.
The promise of a biotechnological future driven by practices such as cloning and organ transplantation increasingly forms part of our cultural landscape. Outside the realm of science, these practices supply new themes for genre fiction (SF and horror) or the visual arts. Figures such as Patricia Piccinini create unease by fusing the familiar and the grotesque. Strong on horror and visceral impact, weak on narrative and existential questioning, these works seem less able to engage with the politics of being post-human, or even to ask what kind of society desires a world where cloning and organ harvesting are the norm. Here we might turn to narrative fiction to see if it can explore the question of our post-humanity outside of the limits of genre fiction or the visual spectacle.
Two recent books, Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go and Michel Houellebecq's The Possibility of an Island, both use cloning as subject matter. They both contain first-person narrators depicting their lives in flat affect-less voices, and both stories culminate in the extinguishment of hope. However, in other respects they are diametrically juxtaposed. Ishiguro's highly mannered and understated work bases itself around the exploitation of innocence; Houellebecq's characters by contrast are all too knowing — spiritually and morally exhausted subjects at the end of history. The Possibility of an Island is laced with lurid sex, nihilistic politics, misogyny and racism, as Houellebecq flaunts his trademark ressentiment. Yet for all their differences in tone and style, both novels are marked by an overwhelming passivity — and in different ways their respective authors link this to the post-human condition.
Never Let Me Go is set in England in an alternate late twentieth century, where the narrator, thirty-one-year-old Kathy H., reflects back upon her formative years at 'Hailsham' — that we initially believe to be a privileged boarding school. Here life seems ideal for the students, who are encouraged to be creative and health-conscious by their supportive teachers. Indeed the school seems almost to make a fetish out of their creativity and health. Periodically, the school has a series of 'exchanges' where students can swap their artistic creations. A mysterious woman called 'Madame' collects the best of the artwork, and it is a great privilege to have works selected in this way.
What appears to be a fairly standard coming of age tale grows increasingly sinister. Students never seem to leave the school grounds (they are put off by a grisly tale of one student who was found dismembered in the woods beyond). Then there are the strange terms that appear in the narration — 'carers' 'donors', 'guardians', 'completions' and so on. The narrator's account seems to contain more gaps and ellipses than we first thought. We learn that the students are different somehow from those in the outside world. Teachers who appear to say too much suddenly disappear. When the students surprise Madame one day, they are shocked to find the she recoils from them as one might 'a spider'.
Eventually the larger picture emerges. The students are in fact human clones, grown for their organs. The school's concern for their wellbeing is primarily to ensure the integrity of their bodies — seen as a collection of spare parts. One of the strengths of the novel is how this horrific notion — that Hailsham is essentially a kind of death row for adolescent clones, waiting in limbo until called to give up their organs — emerges in piecemeal fashion. There is no revelatory moment in the narration; the students at Hailsham both know and do not know the truth of their situation. Yet the most disturbing thing about the novel is the sheer passivity and acquiescence of the students. So thoroughly have they been interpellated as subjects within this horrific world that even after their first 'donation', as they lie in hospital knowing that at best they can only donate one or two more times before they 'complete', they look fondly back on their days at Hailsham. If Stevens, the butler in Ishiguro's Remains of the Day, remained unable to see beyond nostalgia to grasp the fact that his Master was a fascist sympathiser, neither can Kathy nor the other students recognise a similarly totalitarian process that utterly frames their lives.
Ishiguro effectively creates a sense of creeping horror at this subtle yet brutally pervasive exploitation. If the novel suffers stylistically in mimicking the prosaic tone and limited descriptive capacities of an adolescent, it gains in power because the narrator insists upon the possibility of shared experience between herself and us (continually using phrases such as 'I don't know how it was where you were but here we …') when there is in fact a radical distinction between clones grown for parts and the rest of humanity. Kathy can never be part of our world; the things that might reveal her humanity — her art, her love — come to nothing in the end. The book's weakness lies in the fact that it is able to say nothing about the society that would sanction this kind of living organ factory. In this sense, Ishiguro's work is too removed from the actual world; its tale of loss, of possibility denied and hope extinguished, remains a humanist tale in a post-human world, in essence not dissimilar from his other works. In a context where the brutal trading of organs already occurs in, Ishiguro's horror at the post-human future is perhaps too distant, too understated.
The same cannot be said for Houellebecq's work. Like his earlier work, The Possibility of an Island is propelled by disgust for virtually everything in the contemporary world. Houellebecq's characters adopt a Schopenhauerian contempt for existence (complete with the latter's misogyny). Both Schopenhauer and Houellebecq argue that humanity's problems are rooted in desire. If the former hoped to cure desire through the contemplation of art, the latter turns to cloning as a means to escape this essential suffering. Island extrapolates from Houellebecq's earlier novel Atomised, whose core thesis was encapsulated in the following statement:
Everyone says that Brave New World is supposed to be a totalitarian nightmare … but that's hypocritical bullshit. Brave New World is our idea of Heaven: genetic manipulation, sexual liberation, the war against ageing, the leisure society. This is precisely the world we have tried — and so far failed — to create.
Island alternates between the story of Daniel 1, a contemporary human, and Daniels 24 and 25, future clones of the original. These neo-humans exist in a world where human civilisation has been wiped out by war and disaster — the remaining humans have reverted to Neanderthal types, surviving in the ruins. Houellebecq's central preoccupations — cultural pessimism, a fixation upon pubescent sexuality, hatred of children and a horror of ageing, Islamaphobia and so on — are articulated though Daniel 1 who functions as a mild parody of the author.
Daniel makes his living as a comedian and writer. He becomes highly successful for his politically incorrect shtick and taboo-breaking observations. Imagine a low-rent version of Baudrillard doing stand-up and you get the idea. Daniel's career on the stage makes him rich but not happy. Even his only love, Isabelle, begins to repel him as the first signs of ageing set in. Eventually Daniel retires to Spain where he oscillates between his obsession for new girlfriend Esther (a typical Houellebecq cliché — young, sexually accommodating and, of course, wearing short skirts with no knickers) and spending time with a new cult called the Elohim (based on the Raelians) who are obsessed with eternal life and cloning. The ageing Daniel is losing his sexual powers, and his brief periods of sexual transcendence with Esther eventually end. He becomes more involved with the Elohim group, ultimately committing suicide after donating his DNA and his assets to the cult. Daniel's life story is interspersed with comments by his future clones, who read his story as we might read the gospels: for spiritual clues. The Daniel clones look back at Daniel's life with increasing perplexity as they become divorced from the possibility of emotions, losing even nostalgia for them.
Island's flat prose and jaded misanthropy soon wear thin. Nevertheless, Houellebecq encapsulates the kind of social changes (consumerism, individualism, sexualisation of adolescents, the erosion of religious foundations and their replacement with faith in science) that invest the idea of the post-human with an almost transcendental power — whether it be in the Raelian cult, the pronouncements of writers like Ray Kurzweil, or in the elevated status of bio-medical researchers as heroes of our time. In some ways Houellebecq's book explains the culture that would sanction the instrumental cloning that occurs in Ishiguro's novel. Yet if Houellebecq's social analysis is critical of contemporary society, it remains one-dimensional. He is able to expose the paradox of desire and crisis of meaning that haunts the consumer society, yet he reduces this crisis to a biological essentialism — we are desiring-creatures in a world where the old, the ugly, the child-rearing are excluded from the only source of temporary happiness: the sexual marketplace. Even the sexual sublimation made possible through cloning only condemns the human clones to a life of sterile abstraction. In Houellebecq's universe, the post-human is ushered in as a kind of passively accepted destiny — there is nothing left for humans to do or believe in — ultimately not all that far from the odd kind of acquiescence found in Ishiguro's novel.
As Liam McNamara has observed, Houellebecq's protagonists are perfect models of Bauman's 'flawed consumers' — those for whom consumption does not lead to social inclusion. For Bauman, the flawed consumer is a construct of the contemporary market, whereas for Houellebecq, the market merely finesses contradictions inherent in human nature. This is perhaps why Houellebecq's scathing critique of society — despite its obscenity — appeals to the political right. It works, as Tim Adams has noted, as a kind of 'literary Le Penism' — a tirade against multiculturalism and American capitalism — and can be read as nostalgia for church and state.
If these novels represent partially flawed takes on the post-human condition, the passivity and banality that pervades them is a useful social barometer. Will we, complacent in the face of global warming and the destructive practices of our elected governments, continue to seek refuge in half-truths like the students of Hailsham? Or will we wait for the God of techno-science to deliver us from our ennui? Or can the post-human be something other than our passively chosen fate?

Kid Stuff #10: When Children's Records Went to Hell
If you wonder why my generation (Gen X) is so damn jaded and cynical look no further than children's records. Way before kids had things like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas to keep them entertained (and thirsty for violence), the children of the world actually used to set a record on a turntable and listen for 45 minutes. Often, these records had a comic or picture book to read along to.
One thing that struck me while paging through the different sites devoted to these old children's records was the striking difference between those produced around the 1950's and those produced just a couple decades later.
Oh, isn't this precious? (There's that jaded cynicism again, sorry) So Dear To My Heart (1948) was idylic glimpse of boyhood in the good ol' days - sort of like Tom Sawyer, but more Disney-fied and saccharine. Nothing against wholesomeness (God knows, it's in short supply these days), but every single kid's record from these days seemed more sweet and tender than the next!
And then there was the 1970's.... Who loves ya, baby?
I had this Kojak record as kid (and still do). It's a far cry from So Dear To My Heart, that's for sure. Not that this is incredibly offensive or anything - I mean, it's not a Midnight Cowboy or A Clockwork Orange children's record. However, the wholesomeness has gone bye bye.
In this panel from the comic book that came with the album we find the a couple of criminals in a heated discussion in a high rise apartment. The woman learns that Harry has murdered their accomplice, Marty. She wants out of the whole shady business, and threatens to go to the cops. That's when Harry straight up murders her ass. "You'll tell them nothing.... BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!" Four slugs at close range as she begged for mercy. That's cold. And it's on my children's Kojak record. Take a listen to a little bit of the record if you have the time.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not preaching about how bad the violence was in children's records. I'm just pointed out a striking contrast with the wholesome sweetness of the records from just 15-20 years prior.
To be totally honest, I'm not sure what the difference is. I've talked about it with my spouse and came up empty. Obviously, there's a degree of wholesomeness that's been lost.... but it's something more. Really, there's nothing particularly offensive in records about Kojak, The Bionic Woman, Welcome Back, Kotter etc... pretty harmless, actually.
I think it boils down to this (and this is kind of deep, so get ready): Times were not necessarily more wholesome in the 1950's, but the images that were allowed to filter down to children via TV, movies, comics (after the Comics Code was implemented), and music were way more sheltered. "Sheltered" was a dirty word for "enlightened" parents of the 1970's, but in the 1950's it was all Beaver Cleaver and Mickey Mouse Club, if you get my drift. Maybe that's why the Boomers rebelled so much.... just a thought.
Can you guess when the Disney album above was released? Was it 1960 or 1980? If the busty chick in skimpy clothing clued you in that it's 1980, you are correct.
And while I'm at it, I'll mention that Disney sucked in the 1970's. Prior to the 70's, you had the early greats like Snow White and the later greats like The Jungle Book. However, in the 70's we got crap like The Apple Dumpling Gang and The Black Hole. Disney wasn't revived until The Little Mermaid, and by then I was in college. (insert sad violin music here)
Certainly, Escape to Witch Mountain doesn't stack up against something like Cinderella, but hey it was a part of my childhood, and for that I have nothing but love for this film and its accompanying record. And yeah, maybe Kojak and The Bionic Woman were less wholesome than the childhood records of the Baby Boomers, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Give me Kojak over So Dear To My Heart anyday.

I still have my Star Wars, Tron and Gremlins records! My kids enjoy them today! And I score an H.R. Puffnstuff record when I worked at a used bookstore.
When the story is happening in your head it becomes more real than soaking up images on the screen.
Wings September 21, 2009
Great post! There is a marked different, without a doubt.
And yeah, Disney was off-kilter for sure, in the 60s and 70s, I think. Apple Dumpling Gang and all that stuff. Bleh!
By then, to me it was just Mickey stuff for kids and then move on to something else.

That sure brought back memories! I remember all those read-a-along records made by the fine folks at Peter Pan Records!
What still rings loudest in my mind, the record telling you to turn the page when one hears a particular trigger sound

So wholesomeness lead to Utopian idealism (and a frustrated rebellion), while realism lead to cynicism?
MPorcius September 21, 2009
Why are people so hard on "The Black Hole?" I just watched it recently and it isn't terrible, compared to so many other SF movies. The music, the sound effects, the set design and some of the robot and space craft designs are pretty good. And there are Ernie Borgnine, Tony Perkins, and Roddy MacDowell. And I love that long final shot of Maximillian in Hell... "The Black Hole" is ridiculous, but the sound and visuals are worth a viewing, in my opinion.

retrohound - Yes. The key is moderation; idealism and realism taken too far is unhealthy. However, you can be both idealistic and realistic - they're not mutually exclusive. It's when they are taken to an extreme, that rebellion and cynicism are the result.
mporcius- Point taken. I literally haven't seen this since it was in the theater way back when. It does deserve a second look.

POWER RECORDS!!! I listened obsessively to Spider-Man in "Mark of the Man-Wolf" when I was a wee Propagatrix.
Of course, for REAL fun, you must seek out "Stories and Songs About the Justice League" and listen to the song about Metamorpho, the Element Man.
The voice actress on that Kojack record sounds like Mrs. Constanza from Seinfeld.
My all-time favorite Power records was "Batman: Stacked Cards". Good stuff!

I still have most of the dialogue from Power Records' Planet of the Apes series memorized!
"Fate challenges Ursus to achieve greatness, folowwwwwww!!!!"
For the innocent stuff check out kiddierecords.com
Love the buffet of copyright ripoffs on that Disney Sounds Of OuterSpace cover. I ran my The Black Hole story tape into the ground for the battle sounds.
Some of those records weren't bad, what if Matt Wagner did his record version of "The Hero Discovered, Mage" and we get to see a heroic, black girl named Edsel get wiped out & the hero takes The Excalibur Bat & takes down The Styx Hotel Casino. However that record doesn't exist. But it would make a good one.

One variation is the Mediterranean blue washing machine which is front-loading with IQ touch controls. An additional version is named the lag w15001cw, which is top-loading. Another design is the borsch wfvc3300uc, which is front-loading. Yet one more version is the whirlpool wfw9050xw, which is front-loading, along with the last variation is the Hotpoint top-loader design, which may be called little. The expenses of these washing machines vary from cost effective to moderate in expenditure. If one intended to rate the effectiveness, strength, temperature level and quietness of the washering, makes a brand name insurance policy case that its washering produce the least audio. Lag makes the insurance claim that the agitator in its top-loading style w15001cw will certainly permit apparel to be a lot better balanced. The Hotpoint and also both make insurance coverage claims that the water temperature level might alter in subtle means to tidy light and also white clothing a lot more deeply. Whirlpool makes the effort to have energy star classifications on all its washing-machine layouts, while lag has the 5.2 cubic foot capability washing machine, the greatest of all 5 designs which I have in fact ranked. Bosch maintains the solution high quality of its electric motor and also belts, whatever water temperature one may make use of usually in the washing machine.
Hotpoint products the very best selection of cleaning; front-load washering, top-load washering, gas washing machines, as well as electric washers, also portable washing machines. The caution for site visitors on mobile washing machines is to put them where gravity can assist the agitator, in addition to permit the cycle to end up prior to interrupting it. Light, mobile washing machines could not have the mechanical equilibrium of other kind's machine. Lots of Americans like front-load washers, because one could see the cleans cleaning up by means of the clear door. However, sometimes the rubber seals around a front-loading washer door might damage, to make sure that water leaks, or burn as an aftereffect of an exceedingly warmed electric motor within the washing machine.
Top-loader wasmachine have the result that the apparel under obtain to cleanliness swiftly, however often the individual can load the garments in so densely that tones leakage on white things or the agitator is unbalanced in between heavy in addition to light products. The gas washering might not have a design which launches the dust which accumulates behind the agitator, so it is important to obtain a special dust brush hauled by washing machine suppliers. Likewise, take a look at to see whether the closure around the top of the gas pilot burner hangs as well as connect that closure versus the possibility of fire. The electric washering could not have a very safe door as the motor begins, or activates from the electrical motor could fire up the follower belt, producing some sort of shedding rubber scent. Please preserve the dust filter weekly, as well as examine the electrical motor in addition to belts annually on a private washer.

Australian Retailer Pays Tribute To PROBE Group's COVID-19 Support With Service Champion Of The Year Award At 2020 Coles Supplier Awards
Last Updated: 8th December 2020
PROBE Group has received national recognition for helping Australian retailer Coles navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, snaring a coveted prize at the company's annual supplier awards.
The 2020 Coles Supplier Awards, which honoured Australian businesses, producers and farmers across 14 categories, saw PROBE named joint winner of the Coles Service Champion of the Year Award for its outstanding service during COVID-19.
The award judges said the company's support in providing customer service was invaluable during the pandemic.
PROBE shared the trophy with The Resilience Project, which created a dedicated program to support the wellbeing of Coles team members.
PROBE Group Chief Executive Officer Andrew Hume said the Coles Service Champion of the Year Award was a credit to his colleagues who went above and beyond for their clients every day.
"We are honoured to receive this prize from the team at Coles, particularly given the scale and quality of suppliers they work with each year," he said.
"While we provide excellent customer service as a matter of routine, it's always special when partners take the time to applaud our efforts as Coles has done with this award.
"The past year has presented huge challenges for so many people and we are humbled to have helped Coles safely serve more than 600 million customers since the pandemic began."
The 2020 Coles Supplier Awards attracted a record number of entries, with nearly 400 nominations across 14 awards recognising innovation, service, sustainable practices and community initiatives.
Coles CEO Steven Cain said the awards were a chance to celebrate the outstanding contribution of Coles suppliers across the country.
"A key part of our Win Together strategy is to build sustainable long-term partnerships with our suppliers," he said.
"In a year like 2020, with drought, bushfires, floods and then COVID-19, the strength of these partnerships has never been more important and we are enormously grateful to our suppliers for their collaboration and commitment to our customers."
The Coles Service Champion of the Year Award is the latest accolade for PROBE, which was recently named the Australia Customer Experience Outsourcing Services Provider of the Year at the prestigious Frost & Sullivan 2020 Best Practice Awards.

These movers couldn't have done a better job to move me from northern Florida to Coconut Grove where I live now. Relocation went without any trouble or fuss, they drove behind my car all the way and I didn't have to worry a bit about my furniture because they protected it from bumping in the truck.

Stoke College > News > Employers > New Academy will heat up region's job prospects
New Academy will heat up region's job prospects
Stoke on Trent College has announced it will open the UK's first national District Heat Skills Academy, training workers to deliver the UK's newest energy infrastructure.
Opening this September, the Academy will see Stoke on Trent College partner with national and international organisations and companies including Smart City Alliance, Nordic Heat, Öresundkraft, City of Helsingborg, Swedish Energy Agency, Logstor, Cetetherm and Noda. These partners will train staff and students to design, supply and install the £500 million investment in Stoke's future energy system over the next six years. The program involves the first sections of a future city-wide heat network, new Energy-from-Waste installation, geothermal heat sourcing and storage solution, high speed internet connection, solar and energy efficiency solutions in buildings.
The Burslem-based Academy will offer apprenticeships, full time courses and part time courses in building services, engineering, electrical installation, welding, plumbing, groundworks, highways maintenance and heating and ventilation.
Stoke-on-Trent is one of the first cities in the UK to start work on installing what will over time become a non-fossil, city-wide district heat network, with the first pipes laid last September. The low maintenance sustainable energy scheme will involve laying more than 18km of pipe to distribute heat from low or non-fossil sources, including industrial waste heat and deep geo-thermal.
Peter Anderberg, founder of Nordic Heat and Smart City Alliance, is one of the partners involved in the project. He comments: "The District Heat Network represents a huge investment in Stoke-on-Trent and a major step forward in the adoption of sustainable energy systems in the UK. Experiences from Scandinavia shows that this will also have a major impact on boosting the local economy and creating new "green" career opportunities for young people."
"We will be working closely with the college, the city council and other partners to ensure that local companies in the supply chain can be part of this major infrastructure project. To do this, they will need to have the right people in place with the right qualifications, and this is where the District Heat Academy at Stoke on Trent College is needed. Stoke is in pole position to become a centre of excellence in district heating in the UK, thereby attracting further investments and generating opportunities to become a partner in similar projects across UK and beyond."
Kevin Smith, Director of Apprenticeships at Stoke on Trent College, adds: "We are working with Peter and other highly experienced Scandinavian professionals who are have pioneered the district network energy supply, with more than 50 years' experience.
These experts will pass on their skills and experience to college lecturers and teaching staff, so that we can train a whole generation of people in the skills needed to design, supply and maintain the new geothermal energy networks."
He adds: "This brings huge opportunities for local people to work on the network not just here in Stoke-on-Trent, but throughout the UK and overseas."
District Heat Networks are already popular in Nordic countries such as Sweden and Norway. The networks are intended to reduce carbon emissions and ultimately cut energy prices, as well as creating employment opportunities.

Home • Ask Judy • Plant name?
Hi. I'm so glad I found you. I purchase this at Lowe's in Indiana. It did not have a name on it and I don't know what the name of this plant is. I would appreciate it if you could identify it for me. Thank you so much. I attached three different pictures of the same plant.
Your plant looks like a type of Chinese Evergreen (Aglaonema). All of the many Chinese Evergreen plant varieties have long shiny leathery leaves with unique patterns of green, gray, pink, red, or cream. NASA lists the Chinese Evergreen as one of its top ten plants to clean the air of harmful toxins.
You can read all my care tips in the Popular Houseplant section of the website. The picture is of a different variety, but the care is the same.
