What is your favourite cuisine? What I eat is dependent upon my mood, but the usual suspects include Indian, Japanese, Italian, Spanish and Mexican food.
El Contador is a new-ish Mexican kid on the block, whose prime location in the city is the spot to go for moreish Mexican morsels. Serving dishes from its compact kiosk-esque space, the vibrant food is noteworthy and highly Instagrammable. I caught up with Shane Wood, Sarah Nixon and Tara Pitt, the powerhouse team behind El Contador to discover more about Derby's latest Mexican venture.
How did your company come to be? What is your ethos?
The idea arose from the frustrations that Sarah, who is coeliac, faced when she wanted food that was healthy, fast, accessible and gluten free in Derby due to living a busy lifestyle. It was soon apparent that there was not a big market for this type of food in Derby.
Shane, due to time spent in America, thought of the idea to start the Mexican Food Counter that fulfilled these requirements. They did not only want to limit it to their experiences as there was a notable lack in market for fast food options regarding vegetarian and vegan options too.
Tara, who came to work for El Contador a few months after opening, expressed her desire to work for us as she found our food options suited her busy lifestyle as a law student. She also has been diagnosed with an autoimmune system disease called endometriosis which requires her to eat less processed food options, cut out meat and eat as healthy as possible. She then went onto to be the Social Media Executive.
The Ethos of El Contador is to be a Mexican food counter serving easily accessible take-away dishes catering for people with dietary requirements.
El Contador is an exotic name. What does it mean?
El Contador is a Spanish phrase that translate in English as 'The Counter'. It describes the business perfectly as a walk-in, street-food take-away counter.
What does El Contador bring to the dining scene in Derby?
El Contador brings a unique element into the Derby food scene, as we offer more than the traditional take-away in terms of dietary standards, lifestyle options, prices of product. All our food is homemade, which we are very proud of.
The mercurial, fast-changing dining scene in Derby and the wider Midlands means that eateries have to work harder to woo and retain customers. What plans does El Contador have to cement a loyal fan-base?
We aim to offer our customers special dishes which keep the menu contemporary and interesting. This means consistently testing out new dish ideas on special promotions and appreciating customer feedback.
We also like to showcase a variety of our original dishes and new dish ideas at events such as the take-over with Elements and the ALT-EATS festival so that we are knowledgeable of which dishes are more popular and what our target customers are keen to eat.
By taking part in different events, we can showcase our menu beyond the take-away exposure to gain new customers and get more genuine customer feedback.
Our target customer base is everybody. We find foodies, who tend to have different dietary requirements and lifestyle choices are more likely to attend food festivals as they look further to find caterers to serve their needs.
Who comes up with ideas for the menu? Is it a collaboration, or does a head chef have the final say?
Shane is the man behind the variation of menu ideas behind the takeover events. He also seeks out to be creative regarding events that specialise in veganism so that vegans are offered a menu that is fresh, fun and not limited. The Elements Takeover event was a mutual event idea which saw an exciting collaboration between two independent business owners to promote great quality food and drink products.
Do you ever switch off from analysing food? Can you still eat for pleasure?
Our passion for great food makes it difficult for us to switch off from analysing food. Whenever we eat out, we do end up analysing the food-making process and flavour. Whilst in the process of analysing other dishes, this helps us in the thought-making process of our own dishes in terms of what could be improved. Pleasure comes from testing a variety of dishes enabling us to push the boundaries.
Tom Kerridge is an inspiration to Shane, in that he takes well-known recipes and adds his own independent spin onto them. Shane also admires that Kerridge had opened his own gastro pub which then turned into a 3-star Michelin eatery. Shane's aspirations are similar to those of Kerridge in terms of owning a well-known establishment but adding an independent twist to it.
Do you own any cookbooks?
Shane: Tacopedia which is a breakdown of different tacos by region in Mexico is a good read. Breddos which is owned by a company of the same title explores Mexican flavours and adds a modern spin to the recipes.
Tara: Doctora Odile Fernandez wrote a cookbook which was released in Spain called Anti-cancer comprising healthy recipes which are enjoyable but aid well-being and functioning of a healthy human body. This book has inspired millions of women across Spain who have suffered with cancer, but also suffered with other health conditions which require them to have a stricter diet. This book made healthy meals more exciting for me.
What is your favourite dish from your menu?
Shane: my favourite dish is the gluten-free porter braised ox cheek with charred spring onion crema and pickled vegetables stuffed inside a taco. It combines my two favorite joys of life, meat and beer!
Tara: my favourite dish is definitely the jackfruit buritto bowl with vegan cheese sauce. This is because it is a healthy, fun dish which possesses great alternatives to meat without losing the actual texture of what other meat dishes offer.
Sarah: Nachos with garlic chive sour cream, jalapenos and salsa roja is on my favourite list. This is because you get a variety of choice in one dish, which is great for somebody like me who is indecisive when it comes to choosing a dish.
Do you cater for dietary requirements (coeliac, vegan, etc.)?
Well our business idea sprung from our desire to provide food for people with the coeliac condition. We then found ourselves venturing more into catering for every food type. So we cater for meat-eaters, vegetarians, vegans and lactose intolerants. Options include jackfruit as a meat alternative, garlic and ordinary mayonnaise that suit everyone.
Do you have a diary of upcoming events? What culinary feasts can we expect from El Contador this year?
We will be at Bustler Street-food Market Derby for the May bank holiday weekend on 26th May, which we are really looking forward to. There is also another Elements take-over in the pipeline, so do keep your eyes peeled for that.

Dashed to the flame
BURNT OUT: The aftermath of the fire in semi-detached house along Jalan Gaharu. Even the roof had collapsed. PICTURES: FACEBOOK/TAN CHEE PHANG, SHIN MIN DAILY NEWS
TRAGIC: NSF Tan Chee Phang (above) and his father Tan Boon Chong died in a fire just before dawn on Nov 17 last year.

Man dashes back into burning house to rescue son, but both perish in blaze. Bodies found in tragic embrace
Ronald Loh
Metres from safety, he could have fled from the burning house.
Instead, he covered his nose with a grey cloth, armed himself with a small black torch and dashed into the flames to save his son.
Both did not make it out alive.
When the fire was put out, the father was found on top of his son, in a tragic embrace.
The fire, which occurred at a semi-detached house at Jalan Gaharu, off Rifle Range Road, last November, had started at about 4am.
It was so intense that The New Paper reported that the heat had damaged nearby property and melted bicycles.
Mr Tan Boon Chong, 53, and his son, full-time national serviceman Chee Phang, 22, died in the fire.
Their bodies were found in their bedroom by the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) firefighters, who extinguished the fire after two hours.
These details emerged yesterday during a coroner's inquiry into their deaths.
The court heard that Mr Tan Boon Chong had been a tenant of the house for three to four years. The house was owned by a Ms Mary Lee.
Mr Tan Boon Chong's younger son would stay with him during the weekends.
His wife and elder son live in Malaysia.
SEVERAL ALTARS
The house was also occupied by Ms Lee's godmother, Madam Ng Moi Yong, 63, a nun who has a temple in Malaysia, and three other Filipino tenants.
The court heard that Madam Ng had set up several altars inside for her own prayers and for Singaporeans who had visited her temple in Malaysia.
The investigation report said that the night before the fire, Mr Tan Boon Chong was talking to Madam Ng and her helper before they returned to their rooms to sleep.
Mr Tan Chee Phang had turned in only later. At about 11pm, one of the Filipino tenants saw him using his mobile phone.
At about 4am on Nov 17, Madam Ng was woken by the smell of smoke.
She came out of her room and spotted a fire near the living room where her altars were.
She immediately knocked on Mr Tan Boon Chong's bedroom door, which was the closest to the burning altar, and told him to evacuate the house.
She then alerted the others.
Madam Ng and the other occupants tried to put out the fire with water from the kitchen, but stopped after they found it difficult to breathe.
They ran to the kitchen at the rear of the house and climbed to safety over a low wall.
It was then that one of the Filipino tenants realised that Mr Tan Boon Chong was missing.
She tried calling him on his mobile phone, but there was no response, said the investigation report.
Many of the occupants also said that they did not know that the younger Mr Tan was around that night because they did not see him before the fire.
SCDF investigation officer, Captain Yazeed Abdul Rahman, who took the stand yesterday, said that Mr Tan Boon Chong could have inhaled excessive carbon monoxide while attempting to rescue his son.
That could have rendered him unconscious, Captain Yazeed said.
Mr Tan Boon Chong was found face down on top of his son's body.
The two men died from smoke inhalation, the investigation report showed.
Captain Yazeed added that the fire is believed to have started from the wiring that powered the array of electrical lights around one of the altars in the house.
The fire was fuelled by other wiring and combustibles in the house, Captain Yazeed said.
He added that the fire was relatively big, given that the entire roof structure collapsed.
In his findings, State Coroner Marvin Bay said the electrical fire could have arisen from a short circuit.
The state coroner ruled out foul play and said it was an "accidental fire".
It is clear that the father... had ample notice of the peril, but ran back to find and attempt to save his son... apparently putting aside all thought of saving himself.
- State Coroner Marvin Bay
'NOBLE AND SELFLESS GESTURE'
It was a tragic end to a selfless act.
Since Mr Tan Boon Chong had sufficient warning of the raging fire, he could have saved himself.
But he chose to run back in an attempt to rescue his son.
The two men died from smoke inhalation.
But Mr Tan's heroic act did not go unnoticed by State Coroner Marvin Bay.
"It is clear that the father... had ample notice of the peril but ran back to find and attempt to save his son... apparently putting aside all thought of saving himself," he said.
Mr Tan did not join the other occupants in attempting to put out the fire. Instead, he armed himself with a small torch and a small piece of cloth to cover his nose.
"Plainly the only motive for doing so would be to look for his son, who... was still in their bedroom.
"It is also probable to judge where they fell that they were quickly overcome by smoke well before they could exit the room, and eventually succumbed to smoke inhalation," he said.
Mr Tan was later found dead and face down on top of his son's body.
He also said that both men were alive at the time of the fire and had inhaled fumes containing carbon monoxide.
"Mr Tan Boon Chong's death is a truly unfortunate and tragic outcome from his noble and selfless gesture," he said.

Why globalisation is disadvantageous to women
5 February 2019 by Agora
The macro-economic policies underlying globalisation exacerbate female inequality. The 'hegemonic masculinity' of global capitalism and corporate non-responsibility have informalised and exploited female labour. Moreover, gendered migrant labour reproduces a gendered and racialised order, which disadvantages women.
Whilst I consider 'women' as individuals with a configuration of intersecting identities, rather than a monolith, I believe that globalisation is bad for women overall, on either side of the North/South divide, and particularly those from ethnic minorities and lower socio-economic spheres. In order to explore this issue further, I employ Peterson's dual understanding of globalisation as both a continuation of the 'capitalist racialised patriarchy' that characterises modernity and a new conjecture constituted by neo-liberal policies since the 1970s.
The concept of feminisation is important for understanding the uneven effects of globalisation on men and women. The devalorisation of the feminine, and all things considered so, produces processes of exploitation and violence against feminised concepts. Globalisation and the pursuit of profit has resulted in the 'feminisation of employment' with respect to the increased number of women in work and the deterioration of labour conditions, income and employment status. This has resulted in the overall degradation of women's work as subjective, voluntary, unskilled and poorly paid or not paid at all.
Transnational competition has forced domestic capitalists to cut labour costs in order to increase productivity, with multinational corporations relocating production to the global South in search of cheaper wages. In the global North, women of colour are disproportionately impoverished by the relocation of well-paid jobs due to a legacy of racialised gender inequality. A rise in 'McJobs', or low-paid positions lacking in benefits, and reductions in minimum wage are the result of this repositioning. In the global South, poor working-class women fulfil the low-wage labour demands of multinational corporations that establish production in areas with weak labour laws. Globally, labour has become increasingly 'flexible' with the expansion of informal sectors, temporary and self-employment or a 'feminisation' of labour.
Capitalist workplaces are built around hidden assumptions of a separation of reproduction and production. Neo-liberal capitalism is characterised by a division between the masculinised and productive 'monetary' economy and the feminised and reproductive 'non-monetary' economy. The process of capital accumulation renders reproductive survival needs invisible, assuming informal economic activity to be in unlimited supply. Consequently, women are subordinated in both spheres, being responsible for reproductive labour in the 'private' sphere and holding a marginalised position in the productive economy.
Although women have increasingly participated in the labour market since the 1970s, this period has seen a deterioration of the material conditions of life for poorer women globally, as a result of macro-economic policies of privatisation, deregulation and structural adjustment. The flexibilisation of labour has seen the creation of feminised jobs that are temporary, part-time, and precarious. Cutbacks in social welfare have increased poverty for women, who are more reliant on social programs due to their burden of caring. In the global North, ethnic minorities and the working class have suffered from reduced public spending – in Britain, 86% of the burden of austerity since 2010 has fallen on women. In the global South, cuts to public health have seen increases in maternal mortality and school dropout rates for girls.
Structural adjustment programs (SAP) imposed on the global South as a form of international debt repayment by International Financial Institutions such as the IMF and World Bank, have forced women to take up additional productive and reproductive labour to survive austerity. Higher prices, reductions in government food subsidies and the devaluation of local currencies have disproportionately affected urban-poor and working-class women and disrupted the education of young girls. In Nicaragua, for instance, macro-economic gains achieved by a SAP, including a drop in inflation and increase in exports, also caused a rise in infant and maternal mortality, malnutrition, poverty and unemployment.
Neo-liberal capitalism's neglect of the reproductive economy has prompted a commodification of the immigrant labour of Southern women. This 'maid-trade' – the employment of immigrant women from the global South to fulfil the domestic needs of the global North – has become a resource, upon which the centres of transnational business in 'global cities' depend. Immigrant labour, which frees Western women from their domestic 'duties', also exempts men from domestic responsibilities and relieves states' pressure to support the reproductive economy, instead exploiting the racialised inequality of Southern women. Although foreign domestic work can be an important source of remittances for Southern countries, immigrant workers are particularly vulnerable to employer intimidation and abuse. In Britain, the domestic workers of wealthy Gulf families have faced conditions of slavery and trafficking. The Modern Slavery Act 2015 was introduced to protect migrant workers from exploitative employers, however the UK government's measures to date have failed to significantly reduce levels of abuse.
To conclude, the 'hegemonic masculinity' of neo-liberal capitalism, rooted in the 'racialised patriarchy' of colonialism, reproduces female inequality in its neglect of the non-monetary economy and feminisation of women's labour. Prioritising profit over reproductive needs and rendering domestic work invisible, marginalises women in the global North and South as they are simultaneously devalued in the productive economy and carry the burden of reproductive labour and caring.

News See the world's greatest performances from your sofa
Posted on	 2nd April 2020 by Anne Marie Crosthwaite
See the world's greatest performances from your sofa
We know times are tough for travellers. There's a whole world out there, but you can't go further than your front door. To keep you dreaming of where you'll go when this moment passes, we're creating a series of guides that bring the world to you. It'll never replace the real thing, but hopefully, it'll remind you of all the wonders out there ready to explore someday soon.
In our last guide, we looked at the world's best museums you can explore from home. This time, we're taking a virtual trip around the world to bring you some of the most thrilling performances, from opera to Broadway to ballet, that you can enjoy online from wherever you may be.
The Metropolitan Opera, New York City
The curtains are temporarily drawn at New York City's Metropolitan Opera House. But the organisation is doing its best to brighten the moods of its audiences across the world by offering a daily encore presentation from its Live in HD series, free of charge. Each online performance can be streamed for 23 hours from 12:30am GMT daily, providing a dose of upscale culture at any time of day.
The English National Ballet, London
Whether you have two left feet or a burning passion for ballet, you currently have the rare opportunity to dance alongside the English National Ballet's Artistic Director, Tamara Rojo. The Company is offering a series of free online ballet classes for professional dancers and 'the ballet curious.' It's a creative way to keep fit and positive during this insular time.
The Berlin Philharmonic, Berlin
Consistently ranking among the world's top orchestras, the recently closed Berlin Philharmonic known for its virtuosity and compelling sound. Now, the German organisation is giving free access to its Digital Concert Hall, brimming with videos and films of its most lauded performances. All you have to do is register with the orchestra's website and redeem the voucher code BERLINPHIL. You'll get full access to over 600 concerts spanning more than 10 seasons, as well as documentaries on the history of the orchestra and its members.
If live shows are more your thing, you're in luck. The orchestra also offers scheduled live streams of upcoming concerts, the next being that of Iván Fischer conducting Haydn and Liszt on 24 April.
The National Theatre, London
One of the UK's most celebrated performance venues, London's Royal National Theatre opened in 1963 and has since produced more than 800 plays. COVID-19 has unfortunately forced the organisation to close its doors for the time being, but it's offering free screenings of its much-loved National Theatre Live productions on YouTube every Thursday night.
Starting from 2 April, tune in at 7pm GMT for some of Britain's best theatre online, with each production available to stream for one week after that. On the playbills: One Man Two Guvnors, Jane Eyre, Treasure Island, and Twelfth Night.
Broadway HD
Who cares about curtain time when you can enjoy Broadway's world-famous productions from the comfort of your own couch? Broadway HD is offering a free 7-day trial of its subscription streaming service, giving you complete access to its vast array of classic and contemporary Broadway productions.
From productions of Shakespeare to Tony Award-winning blockbusters, there's something for everyone. Unsure of where to start your selection? Try Brokeback Mountain, Kinky Boots, Swan Lake or The King and I.
And when your free trial leaves you wanting more Broadway in your life, a monthly subscription is just over £7 per month.
MarqueeTV
Think of it as Netflix for art and culture buffs. MarqueeTV is home to a wealth of dance, opera, music, theatre and documentary content ripe for streaming, ranging from the classics to the emerging. Right now, you can get a full 30 days of free access to its massive catalogue, and then for just £8.99 per month after that. Hamlet, The Fairy Queen or A Midsummer Night's Dream… what will you dive into first?
Still want more culture?
There's no shortage of ways to experience some of the world's best performances right now, from exactly where you're seated.
For even more classical tunes, the London Symphony Orchestra is 'always playing,' with concert streams each Sunday and Thursday on its YouTube channel, and the Sydney Opera House is offering weekly live recordings and never-before-seen footage of its productions. If theatre is what you're after, the Hampstead Theatre is re-releasing recordings of some of its most popular plays, and Shakespeare's Globe Theatre will be releasing 40 free titles over the next month.

Harvest is nearly over now, and cans of fruit, vegetables, and meat are lined up on pantry shelves — and grocery shelves — like soldiers in a regiment. This has been a busy year for farmers, and for farm women, in food production. Just as some women have gone to work in war plants, joined the armed services, and taken over men's jobs in cities, so others have gone to work on farms to help produce food. Quietly and without fanfare, they have taken their place beside husbands, sons, and brothers in the fields and farm yards; and some have run farms alone.

Looks like people want to learn how to download and save YouTube videos.
In How to: Download and Save YouTube Videos, Alice Hill outlines the four-step process. It's a bit complicated, and some people have been unable to complete the steps successfully.
Once you're able to extract the FLV file, here's how to convert FLV to AVI.
Yet another way of downloading YouTube videos.
Why would people want to do this?
1. To save on download/bandwidth costs. Apparently, some broadband users have a monthly download allowance. Instead of using that up each time they view the video online, they'd rather watch the video straight from their hard disks.
2. To view the videos on their iPods. Some folks spend a healthy amount of time away from the computer.
What does this mean for online video enthusiasts?
Provide at least two versions of your streaming videos. One, for the social network (YouTube, Google video), and another for the downloaders or iTunes crowd. This will help spread your videos around faster.

It's hard to overstate the importance of understanding the difference between shifts in curves and movements along curves. Remember, when we talk about changes in demand or supply, we do not mean the same thing as changes in quantity demanded or quantity supplied.
Figure 1. Change in Demand. A change in demand means that the entire demand curve shifts either left or right. The initial demand curve D0 shifts to become either D1 or D2. This could be caused by a shift in tastes, changes in population, changes in income, prices of substitute or complement goods, or changes future expectations.
Figure 2. Change in Quantity Demanded. A change in the quantity demanded refers to movement along the existing demand curve, D0. This is a change in price, which is caused by a shift in the supply curve.
Figure 3. Change in Supply. A change in supply means that the entire supply curve shifts either left or right. The initial supply curve S0 shifts to become either S1 or S2. This is caused by production conditions, changes in input prices, advances in technology, or changes in taxes or regulations.
Figure 4. Change in Quantity Supplied. A change in the quantity supplied refers to movement along the existing supply curve, S0. This is a change in price, caused by a shift in the demand curve.
Here's one way to remember: a movement along a demand curve, resulting in a change in quantity demanded, is always caused by a shift in the supply curve. Similarly, a movement along a supply curve, resulting in a change in quantity supplied, is always caused by a shift in the demand curve.
Watch this video for another demonstration of the important distinction between these terms.
Try graphing each of these situations to determine if they cause a shift in demand, quantity demanded, supply, or quantity supplied.

Pretentious Ecological Doomsday Statement
13/10/2015 23/10/2015 ~ thebemolution
2015, so far at least, has been a year characterised by me getting repeatedly distracted from banging on about the thing I need to be banging on about, which is the environment.
First there was the general election. And then there was Corbyn's unexpected but delightful transition from pariah-status fringe parliamentarian to Labour leadership frontrunner. I sunk hours into writing about both.
Now Corbyn's won, I can already feel myself being sucked in again – instinctively reaching for the keyboard to defend him with every new ludicrous slur or piece of borderline-criminal media impartiality. I'm at risk of becoming the political equivalent of one of those overcompensating macho boyfriends who hospitalises anyone who looks at their girlfriend a bit funny.

London Isn't Very Equal (Part Two) – To Tower Hamlets
London remains scandalously unequal
Click here for Part One
From London and its most gentrified and fake, we go the city at its poorest and most raw.
Leaving gentrified Bermondsey, we went to visit another friend. We knew Compadre #2 from school days in Somerset, when she was a warm, caring, alternative type who wrote and sang her own songs. She still is warm, caring and alternative, thankfully, but has chucked in the guitar and the lashings of emo-standard black eyeliner for a job in a small music promotions company.
It's laughable to look back on now – especially given where we'd just come from – but at school we called her 'posh'. She lived in a slightly nicer part of town and her dad had a reasonably well-paid job. In truth, they were just about middle class, and probably didn't bring in a whole lot more than the average household income.
Now she lives in Tower Hamlets, one of the most glaringly unequal parts of the country, let alone London. It's hugely deprived – 42% of its children are impoverished, the highest proportion anywhere in Britain, and its richest inhabitants live about 11 years longer than its poorest ones. But it's just a few minutes east of the oligarch's den itself, the City, and the gleaming phalluses of the bank buildings dominate the horizon. A relatively small number of super-rich residents pull the borough's average income up to £58,000 a year – the second-highest in the country – and its proximity to the biggest financial hub outside Wall Street gives it an economy worth £68bn. Its house prices have gone up a mind-bending 43% since last year. Continue reading "London Isn't Very Equal (Part Two) – To Tower Hamlets" →
A Nation Of Prudes Obsessed With Sex
We're more fixated with sex than ever, it seems, but still in a strange, repressed, unhealthy manner.
Soldier your way through the Political Compass survey, the internet's go-to 'what the hell am I politically' test, and near the end you're asked to pass judgement on the following statement: 'These days openness about sex has gone too far'.
Presumably – I have neither the time nor the inclination to spend the necessary hours twiddling with the survey to find out for sure – if you agree, you're nudged further to the authoritarian right, and if you disagree you join the teeming legions of people who'd be put in camps if the Daily Mail ever took over.

Joe in the politics room, circa 2008
At college, instead of concentrating on my A Levels, I ended up in the middle of a strange, probably cult-like campus subculture we called Bem. I didn't come up with the name – it was a random nonsense word I think my friend Joe invented one day in a boring Politics lesson, but I can't really remember. Looking back, it was about not liking the state society was in, and trying to live out an alternative in everything you did.
We were all left-wing. We all hated consumerism, conformism and the slow strangulation of anything interesting and original in the cultural realm. And we all shared the same bleak, surreal sense of humour. Most of all, we were united by the belief that civilisation was terrible. Millions starved, died in droughts, died in childbirth, died of treatable diseases – and the richest, most technologically advanced societies in human history did nothing about it. Most people didn't even notice, let alone care.
Our fellow students seemed to typify everything that was wrong – shallow, materialistic, self-obsessed. Clueless about the sheer horrifying extent of suffering in the world, and utterly absorbed by the mindless triviality of their own silly little lives. Here was a society where callousness and ignorance was the default setting. And we set about an inevitably doomed but passionately heartfelt attempt to undermine it all by refusing to take it seriously. We were like apocalyptic mini-Chomskys crossed with the Chuckle Brothers.
If I do say so myself, I think our critique of modern society was remarkably insightful for a bunch of grouchy teenagers fresh out of secondary education. But we were still very far from perfect.
For one, we were far too harsh on our fellow students. They weren't all the feckless neoliberal drones we made them out to be – especially up against the kind of people I'd meet at Cambridge.
We were also distinctly rubbish when it came to actually doing anything about our politics. To be fair, we did a lot of anti-fascism campaigning when the BNP came to town. But most of the time, we were content to just lounge around feeling radical because we listened to Stevie Wonder, The Smiths and Berlin-era Bowie rather than Rihanna and Take That. We were lazy, we were extremely pessimistic, and we were all political mouth and no activist trousers.
When college ended, we all shot off in different directions to get on with being adults. I see some of them regularly, others nowhere near as regularly as I'd like – but however much they've changed in the years since, I'd say pretty much all of them have hung on to something of that original outlook.
Partly thanks to the experience of going from a single parent household in the land neoliberalism forgot to Oxbridge and back, I went on to become more political than ever. To the extent that, shockingly, I now sometimes even get out and do some actual activism.
These days, I'm a shambolic mish-mash of far-left atheist vicar and lentil-munching free love hippy. I'm far less cynical about people, and particularly my own generation, which has turned out to be more left-wing and switched on than I ever would've imagined in the old days. And yet I dislike the state modern society's in as much as ever. Most of all, I'm focused on the horrifying scale of preventable humanitarian suffering in the world, and the catastrophic damage humanity is doing to its environment.
In other words, there have been tweaks along the way, but it's still essentially Bem. I still see politics, music, personal conduct, even having a certain type of sense of humour, as all part of the same thing – a wholesale rejection of a way of life that's well on the way to being cataclysmic. And when I started a blog in 2011, just about the same time 'The Revolution Will Not Be Televised' jazz-rapper Gil Scot Heron died, the thing named itself.
Four and a bit years down the line, I'm finally getting round to some of the things I wanted to do with this site when I first started it – talk about an accessible, environmentally-focused modern manifestation of radical socialism. Explain economics in a way that laypeople can understand, and that isn't skewed in favour of the status quo. Ramble inanely about my own vision of socially engaged atheism-as-a-religion. And I can now officially say that sometimes, occasionally, someone even reads it.
Something Like Bemolutionary Ethics, But Not As Pretentious
What's the meaning of life?
There isn't one, obviously. In a globalised world as maddeningly complex as the one we find ourselves floundering in, secularised, individualised and increasingly insular, there could never be some kind of universally accepted reason for being. In pockets, people seem to be returning to religion as a sort of reassuring bulwark against the uncertainties and instabilities of the modern age, but this looks unlikely to stop the general crawl towards secularism. God isn't dead, but if he isn't on the way out he's certainly taken a step back out of the spotlight.
Even if they aren't properly taken up by a lot of people who'd call themselves atheist, the implications of rejecting God are huge. 'Meaning', in the grand(iose) sense of the word at least, ceases to exist – the word implies that life was set up, somehow knocked together in the beginning, by someone or something with a specific purpose in mind. Which it wasn't.
Everything alive, ever, wasn't built or purposely shaped by anything, but just happened to happen in the way it did. Humans don't have souls, which, plucked from the nether and briefly stuffed in a fleshy wrapper, eventually swan off to the afterlife to hang loose with the great Creator. All life is just the product of an unutterably miraculous biological accident that's proved a runaway success. Even calling it Evolution seems to give it a pseudo-religious grandeur it doesn't warrant – it's something that has mindlessly unravelled, forwarded by generation after generation of organisms that have minutely adjusted to the environment around them, with billions of years-worth of tiny adaptations turning microscopic sea-bacteria into things with arms and legs and, eventually, mortgages and inflated senses of self-importance.

Cosmic Perspective: radical change and not taking yourself too seriously
There are plenty of reasons for not taking yourself or the garbled output of your own mind overly seriously.
Prominent among these is the inescapable fact that a single human life, the existence of one lone gangly-ape descendent singled out from a shambling mass of 6,800,000,000, is tiny, skull-rattlingly, eye-poppingly tiny. And insignificant.
The last hundred years' worth of scientific endeavour and cosmological revelations have affirmed, among other things, that we are laughably insignificant. Grasping this is hard. The numbers involved are formidably huge. The universe as we know it spasmed arbitrarily into existence approximately 13,700,000,000 years ago. Within a million million million million millionths of a second, Everything had gone from being infinitesimally tiny to being infinitely huge, or had at very least swelled to encompass the million million million million mile expanse of space visible from Earth.
From earthbound telescopes, or satellites, astronomers can see about 200 billion (200,000,000,000) other galaxies. Galaxies commonly contain between 100 billion and a trillion stars – our Milky Way is about average, with between 200 and 400 billion. Current estimates place the number of stars in the universe as being over a quintillion (1,000,000,000,000,000,000, or roughly equivalent to the number of grains of sand on Earth). The Earth is just a tiny 5.97 billion trillion-tonne speck in the abyss, looping round the sun at 18.5 miles per second. Our species is a biological accident on one planet, going around one star, in one galaxy, hanging at the edge of this crushing cosmological immensity.

Some Old Things We Done Wrote
The Bemolution first took to the internet in about April 2011. In the intervening three and a bit years, our political views, style of writing and general preferred way of doing things here at Bem Towers has changed quite a lot – although, looking back, not as much as we'd originally thought.
Now, in September 2014, The Bemolution has decided to jump ship from clunky Blogger to the swishier WordPress platform, bringing three years of ramshackle verbiage with us because we're too sentimental for our own good. Continue reading "Some Old Things We Done Wrote" →


Manchester United Football Club is an English professional football club, based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester that plays in the Premier League. Founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, the club changed its name to Manchester United in 1902 and moved to Old Trafford in 1910. They are regarded as one of the most successful clubs in English football.
Manchester United have won the most League titles (20) of any English club, a joint record 11 FA Cups, four League Cups, and a record 20 FA Community Shields. The club has also won three European Cups, one UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, one UEFA Super Cup, one Intercontinental Cup, and one FIFA Club World Cup. In 1998–99, the club won a continental treble of the Premier League, the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League.
The 1958 Munich air disaster claimed the lives of eight players. In 1968, under the management of Matt Busby, Manchester United was the first English football club to win the European Cup. Alex Ferguson won 28 major honours, and 38 in total, from November 1986 to May 2013, when he announced his retirement after 26 years at the club. On 19 May 2014, Louis van Gaal was appointed as the club's new manager after Ferguson's successor David Moyes was sacked after only 10 months in charge, with the club's record appearance-maker, Ryan Giggs, appointed as his assistant after a brief period as caretaker manager.
Manchester United is the third-richest football club in the world for 2011–12 in terms of revenue, with an annual revenue of €395.9 million, and the world's second most valuable sports team in 2013, valued at $3.165 billion. It is one of the most widely supported football teams in the world. After being floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1991, the club was purchased by Malcolm Glazer in May 2005 in a deal valuing the club at almost £800 million, after which the company was taken private again. In August 2012, Manchester United made an initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange.
Old Trafford is a football stadium in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England, and the home of Manchester United F.C. With a capacity of 75,635, Old Trafford is the second-largest football stadium in the United Kingdom after Wembley Stadium, and the ninth-largest in Europe. It is about 0.5 miles (800 m) from Old Trafford Cricket Ground and the adjacent tram station.
Old Trafford, nicknamed the Theatre of Dreams by Bobby Charlton, has been United's home ground since 1910, although from 1941 to 1949, as a result of bomb damage during the Second World War, the club shared Maine Road with local rivals Manchester City. Old Trafford underwent several expansions in the 1990s and 2000s, including the addition of extra tiers to the North, West and East Stands, which served to return the ground almost to its original capacity of 80,000. Future expansion is likely to involve the addition of a second tier to the South Stand, which would raise the capacity to over 90,000. The stadium's record attendance was recorded in 1939, when 76,962 spectators watched the FA Cup semi-final between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Grimsby Town.
Old Trafford has hosted FA Cup semi-finals, England fixtures, matches at the 1966 World Cup and Euro 96 and the 2003 Champions League Final, as well as rugby league's annual Super League Grand Final and the final of two Rugby League World Cups. It also hosted football matches at the 2012 Summer Olympics, including women's international football for the first time in its history.

Merry Christmas! We hope that you have experienced God in a new and marvelous way in 2005. We have had an incredible journey this year. Through all the wonderful and painful times, we have seen God draw us closer to Him.
As always, we are having a great time as a family of five. The kids are growing like crazy and they have been entertaining to say the least. We try to keep our sanity as we strive to raise responsible, caring children.
Lindsay always has a smile on her face. She had a Strawberry Shortcake party and loved introducing us to all her new friends from preschool. Lindsay goes to Preschool two days a week and can proudly spell most of her friends names. She loves to go to Bible Study Fellowship with mom and sings constantly. She and Mom go to the Mayborn Museum every Monday and have a great time of learning and crafts. She loves to dress up as evidenced at Halloween when she was a kitty and Snow White and Belle. She loves to do flips and dance. She even got to ice skate this year. She thinks she must mother her brothers and is always reminding them to use their manners.
Evan has had a tough year. In April, he began having seizures (and a whole slew of other entries in April, May, and June). (And, just so you know, at one time on this blog, Evan was Harry, Drew was Mike, and Lindsay was Stephanie, but it got much too confusing.) He is much better now. He has a great doctor in Plano and we feel that Evan is on the right road. Evan does very well in school. He is a friend to everyone. What he doesn't like about school is that the girls chase him. He had the lead in a small play at school. He loves math and stays after school to work on advanced math with his teacher. Evan is very athletic and has grown a bunch this year. He and Drew now wear the same size clothes. He loves to play basketball, football and especially Putt Putt. Evan was an old man for Halloween. He really loved the role playing. Evan likes seafood and enjoyed being in Port Aransas this summer. He loves to be HOT!
Drew is in 3rd grade and is having a great year. He loves to research on the computer, play Playstation2 and of course, watch ESPN. He was in a play this year and really enjoyed acting. He loves math and has a tutor this year. He enjoys algebra and studying for the UIL Numbersense competition. He also competed in UIL spelling and did very well. He attended many day camps this summer. He reads all the time. He read all the Harry Potter and a few of the Chronicles of Narnia books and has begun the Lord of the Ring books. He is really growing up. He had a bowling party at Baylor for this 8th birthday. His smile is constantly changing because he continues to lose teeth.
Mark has begun running and plans to run in a marathon in February. He has done several smaller runs and has done well. He continues to love his job at Baylor. He still teaches 10th grade boys at Columbus Avenue Baptist Church and serves as a deacon. He also attends BSF.
Regina stays at home (haha) and takes care of the family. She continues to work one weekend a month at the hospital. She is PTA vice president and teaches 3rd grade Sunday school.
We stayed close to home for vacation this summer. We visited Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Houston and Port Aransas. We are constantly on the move but that is what is so fun. We can't wait to see what God has in store for our family and yours in 2006!
We left our camera in the car and noone else took pictures at the party last night, so you'll have to use your imagination.
Here's Lindsay and Hannah playing with Mallory like she's a doll. Three cuties!
Lindsay chasing Jonathan around the house. Do I need to tell her that he's not available? She's such a flirt with the older men.
Here's Jonathan looking love-struck as he thinks about that special someone.
Here's a good pic of Jeff "pumping it up" after his 18th plate of goodies. He did drink diet DP, though.
Here's the back of Trenton's head. As usual, he didn't want to be caught "on film" in the same room with this crowd.
Here are Cliff and Trish text messaging each other despite the fact that they were right across the room from each other. Wonder what the big secret was?
how to sign their names.
I'm sure I missed some other great snapshots. If I did, let me know and I'll be sure to add them! Thanks, Hoods, for a fun time!


"CHANGE" sounded like a really catchy thought two years ago, before we began this non-stop farce of political selections, amid the mountains of propaganda that rise from the open wastelands of the never-ending lies.
'Everybody knows' that all government's lie; the bigger the government, the bigger the lies. Most people also lie, but only politicians and criminals seek to make a career out of lying. Yet most Americans still believe that they live in a free country with laws that govern this society and protect the citizens from any and all attacks: because to fail to believe in this; is to be "Un- American" in some way.
The truth is that we have been using Doublespeak & Newspeak for so long now that many actually believe that "lies are truth" and that "freedom is slavery." The facts are that we have been living on the edge of CHANGE almost exclusively, or at least since Lyndon Baines Johnson declared "The Great Society."
The real history is far too long and dusty for most to care about. So let's begin with the beginning of the end of our own time, which seriously began during Harry S. Truman's stint in the Oval Office. HST brought us the Atom Bomb and the end of the Second World War in the Pacific. He also created the CIA and the National Intelligence Agency; the same NIA that took over the day-to-day running of the federal government from the congress. Truman also pushed the idea of "Israel," as a "new state" to be decided upon by the U.N. "Harry" was however known to the public for his famous desk plate which read "The Buck Stops Here," and for firing General Douglas MacArthur.
HST was followed by Eisenhower who presided over the formation of the military-industrial (and congressional) complex, while he slept his way through his presidency, between golf games. He was remembered for the single line of warning he left for the world upon his departure from office: warning us all about the creation that was actually formed on his watch. It was during these years that the revolving doors of government service began to lead directly to multi-million dollar profits for the connected who had figured out how to vote themselves money at the public's expense. This was the era of the Gray Flannel Suit and all things 'Corporate' were great and good.' America was in love with consumerism and two-car garages, in the Burbs: however the price for all this company loyalty was the beginning of the end of anything beyond the all-consuming passionate pursuit of money!
~ And the youth of the late 1950's began to vote with their feet against the sell-out by their parents and the sterile corporate lives that too many had begun to hate. The 'Beats' were educated but not tempted by the kind of 'security' offered by the soulless corporate world. Thought mattered to these people, as did excesses of all kinds, which killed so many in the end.
With the end of the Beats, came the beginnings of the Viet Nam War and a whole new generation called the Hippies. Drop-outs druggies, flower-children free-love advocates and a whole range of wanderers, drifters and general non-conformists, most of whom simply hated any limitations on their 'care-free' lives. But with the war, the 'purity' of the pre-pubescent children in the streets of San Francisco and elsewhere begin to lose its promise, in the direct degree, to which the drug culture began to reclaim the ancient ways of capital, and all the "isms" that naturally flow from that.
During this same period the old-world-order was re-inventing itself once more and beginning to test the limits of its new found status, beneath the ominous shield of the Cold War. 'Communism' was the boogie man of the hour, especially since it was internationally linked with the labor movement which threatened the elite with loss of control over the economic-slavery-class-which is where their corporate wealth came from. So discrediting communism became synonymous with stopping the international growth of trade unions, at any price!
They used the House Un-American Activities Committee hearings, to drive home their points, by instilling terror and fear into people in the government and the motion picture industry. Senator Joe McCarthy led this charade and was assisted by staff attorney's Richard Nixon and Robert Kennedy; with Ronald Reagan serving as the scapegoat, who was then the head of the Screen Actors Guild. The Blacklist was created by this committee and valuable lives were destroyed, in this opening bid to marginalize "political thought" for the nation-despite constitutional provisions against exactly that!
At the same time the fledgling Corporatocracy was beginning to get its collective act together, while they used Corporate Welfare, the IMF and the World Bank to subjugate dozens of struggling nations around the planet-supposedly in the "national security interests" of the United States. However in reality this was just bare- knuckled bloody-capitalism, and it worked!
In 1970 Nixon replaced Johnson until he was forced out without facing impeachment proceedings that should have been held, but because too many key congressional players would have also been charged, Nixon was allowed to resign. He was followed by Ford who pardoned him (as was pre-agreed by all involved) and that gave us Carter & the Iran hostages that led directly to Reagan.
But back when JFK was in the White House, America was not afraid of itself or of much of anything else. Then it was November 22, 1963 and JFK had been in the middle of denying nuclear weapons to Israel only weeks before, when he was assassinated in Dallas and now the American-world turned black. Jack was replaced by a blood enemy of his, Lyndon Baines Johnston of Texas, and America had its second treasonous 'leader' since Harry Truman.
LBJ was duplicitous and the second of several would-be dictators of America. His social engineering packages began the cultural destruction of the nation and the set-up the socialist-corporate- models for the unfettered greed of the ever-expanding corporate states within this country: Socialism for the Corporations; and Fascism for the poor and middle classes-but at this stage velvet gloves still covered the iron fists of state-fascism.
This cover-up left bloody footprints, because until very recently few could fathom why any American president would ever dare to order such a thing to happen. Who could be that powerful to order LBJ to call for that outcome; only one country comes to mind and that is Israel. Who stood to gain the most from JFK's death, if not LBJ: Who had the motive and means to carry out the assassination of a sitting US president? I cannot prove that this is true, but it would certainly explain a great deal about why the US never challenges anything that Israel wants done in the world- regardless of the cost. At the very least this ought to be officially investigated-and that'll happen on the 32nd day of next month-no doubt!
All of the above was "CHANGE" yet nobody apparently knew that. Because it received no in-depth coverage, and soon the radical nature of its real purposes joined the political sideshow of the investigations into the death of Kennedy-that ended in the official pack of lies issued by the Warren Commission.
Many potential leaders were also murdered most prominently among these were RFK, and Martin Luther King along with others like Malcolm X, and more recently Senator Wellstone and John F. Kennedy Jr. Isn't it strange that only those opposed to the Owners seem to meet with violent ends-while the dinosaurs in power just keep on living like animated cadavers.
Vietnam was the first of the 'new wars' for corporate greed and global power, in the middle of the Cold War with the USSR. But that war was televised and covered to a degree that let the public know enough to demand an end to it. Afterwards, the Corporatocracy bought up the media in order to prevent this situation from ever- again interfering with the plans for the NWO, or any of its global plans for world dominance over all jobs, while at the same time removing all controls over price-fixing, Anti-trust laws, excess- profits taxes, and virtually everything else that had once kept our criminally-minded would-be-owners at bay.
With the 1980's came "Morning in America" and the Regan Revolution which began to decimate the remaining key components in everyday life. "Greed is Good" was their motto. When Ronnie crushed the Air Traffic Controller's Union and essentially fired all 11,000 members-that marked the official end of any thoughts about the viability of unions in the USA. Simultaneously Regan's Vice- President, George H.W. Bush, fresh from a stint as head of the CIA, negotiated the release of the American hostages held for 444 days in Iran (this was done before the election so that when Ronnie won, the first thing that would happen is that all the hostages would be released). He did this by agreeing to secretly and illegally sell weapons to Iran (the Arms for Hostages Scandal) and Poppy was granted total immunity from any disclosure in the first official act of his son, the 43rd president, George W. Bush.
The Reagan administration went on to create the Death Squads that were used in Central and South America in the 1980's and early 1990's. This involved drug running and weapons smuggling by the CIA and the DEA, in an effort to maintain control over drugs and guns in the Western Hemisphere. With this failure of the War on Drugs, government itself became the dealer. The adventures of Oliver North were part of this charade and America quietly became a rogue-state, no different than the so-called 'Banana Republics' where we were supposedly still fighting communism!
The presidency has been a dictatorship since even before George W. Bush took his stolen oath of office! And now eight years on we still behave as if the two year long campaign for the presidency has meaning to the public. The game is fixed, the choice was rigged by the owners-and after two stolen elections the public apparently still believes that voting matters and that the people they pay to represent them will actually listen to them. Can the public still believe that congress will go against their own private interests just to honor their oath to the Constitution: That same founding document which these same people have been destroying, both secretly and publically for the last eight years! The selections do matter, but not to ordinary people because this is no longer "our" government.
Then came "the Decider" to wrap it all up into a very public and very ugly Empire! This too has been composed of nothing but change: CHANGE that now threatens the entire world, with massive slaughter and destruction for the private profits of the few that will end the planet as we knew it, and hasten the collapse of all authority that doesn't come from the barrel of a gun!
Why do we pay taxes, or the salaries of these imposters that occupy those offices in the state houses or in Washington D.C.? The servants have taken over the mansion and we have refused to do anything about it. Consequently our silence is taken for compliance and the abuse gets worse with every passing day! In fact it has been all these CHANGES that have brought all this about-yet-the newbie's in this presidential year haven't got a clue!
Our foreign policies are courting oblivion, and yet the 'players' are the same ones that got us into this nightmare with our eyes wide shut against all constructive doubt or even any questions. Have you noticed that no one is ever fired for their failures on the job! This has to do with why the Decider began his political tyranny with; "You're either with us or against us," the true mind-set of any professional criminal. There is no longer any loyalty to the Constitution or the moral imperative, there is only loyalty to the Corporations and to the power-structure that controls them all. The US is no longer a nation of laws-we are a Barbarian rogue-state-that answers to no law except the law of the corporate jungle!
That's a bit of what happened to us, but what our silence and inattention has created goes far beyond destroying just our nation- we have threatened the world with semi-extinction. We have created crimes against humanity and supported a state that makes Nazi Germany look like an amateur. Millions of people have died and millions more have been crippled, tortured, deported or emotionally destroyed, not to mention the millions that our actions have permanently displaced: all because our owners want it all! This appears to be a CHANGE from what we once said we stood for, but since everything is secret how can these be measured!
If we really sought to CHANGE things we could make a carburetor that gets between 60 and 100 miles to the gallon and we could commit to changing everything about the way we look at our union with the natural world and the environment. There is at least three times as much of an economy to be made from resource uses and infrastructure repair than from oil and gas, but that will not happen so long as this private-stranglehold remains upon the world for the rights to all the oil and all the water.
We could put every man woman and child to work revitalizing our infrastructure (instead of selling off our roads and natural resources wholesale to other nations): and if we were really serious we could bring back jobs and punish those who fled this country for no regulations and unlimited profits. But all of this takes work and a real commitment to living under the rule of law- and that is much harder to resurrect than any commercial challenge could ever be!

Professor Tania Kovats
Professor (Teaching and Research)
Art and Design Office, Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design

Matthew Building
Tania Kovats' practice and research as an artist is an exploration of our experience of landscape, increasingly with an environmental focus. Her work includes temporary and permanent sculptural works often in the public realm, drawing, and writing, that currently consider her preoccupation with water, rivers, seas and oceans. She works at the confluence of environmental, psychological, political, and the personal. Kovats is an advocate for drawing in its expanded field, as a highly significant tool of thinking and expression, that provides an infinite and varied means of communication that continues to be expanded and enriched by practitioners. She regularly seeks out engagement and impact with audiences beyond the gallery. Her works are in both public and private collections in the UK and abroad, including Arts Council, Jupiter Artland, The British Council, Government Art Collection, the National Maritime Museum Greenwich, and the V&A.
Current practice and research include developing her consideration of environmental issues around our seas and oceans. In 2018 Kovats was a Guest Curator for the Edinburgh International Book Festival. Kovats took Rachel Carson's text The Sea Around Us as the curatorial anchor for these public forum sessions. She is an international member of the 2019/20 Drawing Ecologies: Deep South in New Zealand making a creative response to environmental challenges faced by Moari coastal communities. Her most recent publication in newspaper form is WETLANDS, 2020, with drawing and writing in response to environmental challenges being faced by wetland ecologies. Ongoing projects include 'SPINE', a work for St Martin's in the Fields London; a commission for a ceramic drinking water fountain for the Fruitmarket Gallery Edinburgh; and 'HIVE' a work for Babraham Institute Cambridge; a sculptural series of bleached coral reefs; developing ecological drawing programs; figurative sculptures of divers; ongoing writing, filmmaking, and drawing.
Recent projects include 'WELL' (2019) produced and exhibited a prototype hand painted ceramic public drinking water fountain as a commission for Design Exhibition Scotland. Her 2014 solo show at The Fruitmarket Gallery Edinburgh, 'Oceans', presented 'All the Seas', a participatory artwork made with sea water collected from around the world by a global network of water gatherers. 'Dirty Water: London's Low Tide' is a publication of Kovats' writing and drawings telling a visually driven narrative of the river in the form of 60,000 free newspapers and was the outcome of Kovats' Tideway's Artist Residency on the River Thames. 'RIVERS' is her commission for Jupiter Artland Scotland and is a collection of water from one hundred rivers in the UK, placed in the boat house. 'Head to Mouth' was her 2019 solo exhibition of drawings and sculpture for Berwick Gymnasium. 'Evaporation' 2015, Museum of Science and Industry, Manchester, was the solo show presenting the outcome of the Arts Council funded James Lovelock Award, where Kovats developed a body of work in response to Lovelock's GAIA theory in relation to the world's seas and oceans. Work from this show was included in Modern Art Oxford's 2018 'Future Knowledge', a group exhibition about how art engages with ecological thinking. Her work 'TREE' is a permanent work to mark the Charles Darwin bi centenary for the Natural History Museum, London.
Kovats' research and advocacy for drawing has resulted in two publications 'The Drawing Book. A Survey of Drawing: The Primary Means of Expression' compiling a cross-disciplinary survey of drawing as a primary generative form of visual communication; and 'Drawing Water - Drawing as a Mechanism of Exploration' which consisted of drawings thematically linked by the sea. More recently Kovats has been developing programs of drawing combined with meditation practices, that consider drawing as a tool of wellbeing.

Kovats' teaching practice is securely based in the belief in the transformative power of the creative process. All creative acts are acts of communication, how and why we communicate, and how we can communicate better is the reason to learn. Kovats lectures widely, here and abroad. Her recent academic roles have been:
2018-2020 Professor of Drawing at Bath Spa University
2013-2018 Course Leader of the MA Drawing, University of the Arts London, Wimbledon.

A/AC.25/SR.51
UNITED NATIONS CONCILIATION COMMISSION FOR PALESTINE
SUMMARY RECORD OF THE FIFTY-FIRST MEETING
held in Lausanne on Monday,
9 May 1949, at 10 a.m.
Mr. ETHRIDGE
(U.S.A.)
Mr. de BOISANGER (France)
Mr. YALCIN (Turkey)
Mr. AZCARATE Principal Secretary
Negotiations with Arab and Israeli delegations
The CHAIRMAN reported briefly on the talks he had had on and Sunday with Mr. Amoun of the Lebanese delegation and with Mr. Eytan of the Israeli delegation. On Saturday he had mentioned to them, individually, that the time had now come to enter upon a more active phase of negotiations, and had asked whether they could suggest a basis for further discussions. Mr. Amoun had replied that the Arab delegations would find it difficult to make such a suggestion, but that they would accept a suggestion made by the Commission. Mr. Eytan had made substantially the same reply. During further conversations the following day the Chairman had expressed his belief that the only practical basis for discussion would be the 1947 Partition Plan. The reply of the Arab delegations to that suggestion had not yet been received but he had been given, to understand that it would be favorable. A reply had just been received in writing from Dr. Eytan stating in substance, that the Israeli delegation accepted. The suggestion provided no statements would be made to the press for the time being,
Mr. ETHRIDGE agreed that the territorial provisions of the Partition Plan would be an acceptable working basis for negotiations. It must be borne in mind, however, that what the Arab delegations desired was a suggestion from the Commission, not merely for a basis for negotiation, but for an actual settlement. His delegation could not be a party to anything resembling a dictated settlement. The position of his Government had not changed since the adoption of the resolution of 11 December 1948; it still maintained that any territorial settlement must be freely negotiated.
The CHAIRMAN affirmed that the position of his delegation was the same as that of the United States delegation. He had made it clear to the Arab and Israeli representatives that the Commission's purpose was simply to facilitate their progress toward a solution by furnishing them with a basis for negotiation.
In answer to a comment by Dr. Eytan concerning the draft "Preamble", the Chairman had stated that the Commission would continue to study the document and discuss it as soon as a basis for negotiations had been agreed upon. He had showed the Secretariat's draft "Declaration of Principles" to Dr. Eytan, who had made no comment.
The PRINCIPAL SECRETARY suggested that since no statements were to be issued to the press, it would be desirable for the Commission to have an acceptance in writing from: the Arab delegations of the proposal to conduct negotiations on the basis of the Partition Plan.
The CHAIRMAN agreed, but considered it preferable that the Commission should not put the proposal formally in writing first. He would assume the responsibility of asking the Arab delegations for a written reply to his verbal proposal.
The Chairman asked the Principal Secretary to contact the Arab delegations, who had already partially agreed on the substance of a draft press release, and inform them that the Commission intended not to issue such a release for the present.
The PRINCIPAL SECRETARY then presented a reply, drafted by the Secretariat, to the letter from the Arab delegations concerning collective meetings with the Commission.
The Commission approved the draft reply.
The CHAIRMAN circulated a letter received from Mr. Eytan the previous day, which stated that the Government of Israel was prepared to take a census to determine the number of Arab refugees who would be repatriable on the basis of separation from their immediate families. In accordance with a suggestion by Mr. Eytan that the Israeli proposals should be communicated to the Arab delegations, the Chairman suggested that the Principal Secretary should prepare a summary of the points on which a satisfactory reply, had been received from the Israeli delegation, and should communicate it to the Arab delegations; he felt that many points in such a summary would be of considerable interest to those delegations, as well as to the refugees themselves. He also thought a similar list might be drawn up, of the points which had not yet been satisfactorily dealt with by the Israeli Government, and suggested that Mr. Eytan should be contacted once more in an effort to obtain a full reply on those points.
The Chairman had also told Mr. Eytan that representatives of the refugees were present in Lausanne and hoped to have the opportunity of meeting the Israeli representatives; Mr. Eytan had expressed his willingness to see them. The Chairman had also had an interview with Dr. Maron, who had promised to submit a statement of the financial and economic position of the State of Israel, which could be presented to the Arab delegations for their information.
Technical Mission on Refugees
Mr. COOK reported to the Commission on the status of recruitment for the Technical Mission on Refugees. He had just received word that two names had been suggested for the French member, but the Secretary-General was as yet unwilling to present either name to the Commission and was still working on the matter in Consultation with the French delegation at Lake Success. The United States delegation at Lake Success had suggested four names, which had been submitted to Mr. Ethridge; two of the candidates were at present in Switzerland and would be interviewed. As regards the Turkish member, the Secretary-General had submitted one name, and the Geneva office had obtained a second nomination from the Foreign Office at Ankara; it would now be necessary to cable the second name to the Secretary-General for his approval.
Mr. YALCIN protested this procedure; he could not admit the competence of the Secretary-General to pass upon a candidate proposed by a Member Government. The approval of the Secretary-General might be required in matters affecting the budget, but not in selection of personnel.
The CHAIRMAN said that according to his understanding, since the Secretary-General had been asked to handle the matter he must be allowed a certain judgment in the selection of the personnel, in consultation with the permanent delegations at Lake Success. He remarked that a precedent had already been created, since the Secretary-General had already criticised certain candidates proposed by the French Government.
Mr. YALCIN replied that he could not accept that precedent. The Secretary-General should have consulted the Turkish Government before proposing a name.
The PRINCIPAL SECRETARY explained that the Secretary-General was following a normal procedure and establishing a list of qualified available candidates, after consultation with the Governments concerned. His intervention in the matter was not simply on budgetary grounds, but was at the express request of the Commission. Moreover, according to the cable received from Lake Success, the name of the Turkish candidate was submitted after consultation with and with the approval of, the Turkish representative at Lake Success.
The CHAIRMAN drew attention to an article by C.L. Sulzberger in the NEW YORK TIMES of Thursday, 5 May. He considered the article most displeasing, and wished to bring it to the attention of the Principal Secretary.
The Chairman then mentioned the recordings of the first day's debate in the Political Committee on the question of the admission of Israel. He realized that the Secretariat had incurred considerable expense in procuring the discs, and emphasized their importance and usefulness to the Commission.

Diep.io es un juego de acción multijugador masivo en línea disponible para navegadores web, Android e iOS, creado por el desarrollador brasileño Matheus Valadares. Los jugadores controlan los tanques y ganan puntos destruyendo formas y matando a otros jugadores en una arena 2D. La versión móvil del juego fue lanzada en 2016 por Miniclip.

Jugabilidad

En Diep.io, el objetivo principal del jugador es ganar puntos destruyendo diferentes objetos poligonales y eliminando a otros jugadores disparando balas con su tanque. Al ganar puntos, el tanque sube de nivel. Subir de nivel permite al jugador invertir un punto de habilidad en las características del tanque, como la velocidad de movimiento y el daño de las balas, lo que permite a los jugadores obtener una ventaja sobre otros jugadores. Los jugadores también pueden actualizar su tanque a clases más poderosas cada 15 niveles hasta el nivel 45, dándoles habilidades que otros tanques pueden no tener.  Diep.io también tiene varios modos de juego diferentes con mecánicas de equipo.

Recepción

Diep.io a menudo es elogiado por su diversa jugabilidad a través de sus diferentes modos de juego y actualizaciones de tanques.

Maddy Cohen, de Screen Rant, clasificó a Diep.io como el mejor videojuego que usa el dominio .io , afirmando que el juego es "realmente la crema de la crema de los juegos .io" y que puede mantener a los jugadores en línea durante horas. Cohen elogió la diversa jugabilidad del juego ofrecida por sus diferentes modos de juego y personalización de tanques. Anthony Coyle de Gazette Review enumeró Diep.io como uno de los cinco mejores juegos similares a Slither.io , un juego en línea multijugador masivo de 2016. John Corpuz de Tom's Guide mencionó a Diep.io como el tercer mejor juego ".io", detrás de Slither.io y Agar.io , y elogió su "sistema de actualización razonablemente envuelto", "una buena rejugabilidad" y "profundidad razonable". Arjun Sha de Beebom clasificó a Diep.io como uno de los doce mejores juegos alternativos a Agar.io, elogiando las características de formación de equipos del juego y recomendando el juego a los lectores. Disha de Player.One describió Diep.io como "muy simple, pero extremadamente adictivo", afirmando que el éxito del juego no es una coincidencia.

Agar.io, Slither.io y Diep.io son conocidos comúnmente como los tres juegos ".io" principales y más populares, como lo menciona Curtis Silver de Forbes., John Corpuz de Tom's Guide, y Disha de Player.One
La capacidad de actualizar los tanques y las estadísticas permite muchas estrategias de juego y estilos de juego diferentes.

Toshiba Corp. and partner SanDisk Corp. have opened the second phase of Fab 5, which began fabricating 15nm NAND memories this month, and started construction on schedule of the new Fab 2 at Yokkaichi Operations, Toshiba's NAND Flash memory plant in Mie prefecture, Japan.
Toshiba started construction of the new Fab 2 building, a 2-story, five floor building with a 27,300m2 footprint, on a site previously occupied by the former Fab 2, which was demolished to make way for the new facility. The new fab will accommodate the additional processes required for 3D NAND memories. According to the schedule, the first phase of the new Fab 2 will be completed next summer and the entire project should be finished in the first half of 2016. Toshiba and SanDisk will jointly install equipment in readiness for fabrication responding to market demand.


One of the many wonderful things about living on the Emerald Coast is the chance we locals have to avail ourselves of amenities visitors take for granted.
DESTIN � One of the many wonderful things about living on the Emerald Coast is the chance we locals have to avail ourselves of amenities visitors take for granted.
Harry T�s Lighthouse Restaurant at HarborWalk Village is an excellent example.
Harry T�s had just switched to a new menu the day we arrived for lunch, so a take-out version wasn�t available for me to grab for reference. It has, however, been updated on their website.
The only issue this created came when it was time for dessert, which we�ll get to in a minute.
We started our meal with the Nacho Grande appetizer. Other choices on the extensive �T�sers� menu include smoked tuna dip, oysters Rockefeller, chilled boiled shrimp, calamari and mussels.
The nachos were, indeed, grande, and we should have opted for a half-order. They were a multi-layered concoction of cheesy goodness.
I chose the combo basket for my entr�e: four jumbo shrimp and two strips of flounder fried a golden brown.
The shrimp were huge, each taking three or four bites to consume. They were delicious.
I particularly enjoyed the flounder, which was delicately breaded and cooked to flaky perfection.
The combo comes with two tasty jalapeno bits-laced hush puppies and a small cup of traditional cole slaw.
You also get to choose either cheese grits or fries. I went with the grits, which proved an excellent call because they were served in their own oval sidedish and made with smoky Gouda cheese. Yum!
My guest chose the smoky chicken sandwich, which was a new item. It came with fries.
He said the sandwich was good, and admitted he probably would have enjoyed it even more if he hadn�t polished off the Nachos Grande.
The seasoned fries had good flavor, but some were a bit overcooked and crunchy.
For dessert, my guest chose the Key lime pie and, at our server�s suggestion, I picked the strawberry shortcake without the addition of ice cream. Unfortunately, the shortcake had been cut from the new menu and was no longer available, so I went with Key lime, too.
I loved the unique presentation, and my guest spooned up every morsel. Be forewarned: This is definitely a tart version of the classic treat.
Harry T�s menu also offers burgers, soups (including its award-winning gumbo), salads, other sandwiches, specialties, other baskets, pastas and a menu just for children.
Every Saturday and Sunday 10 a.m.-2 p.m. brunch is offered with items such as a variety of omelets, pancakes, waffles, eggs Benedict and more.
Also during brunch, there�s �bottomless champagne� for a special price with food purchase. Tables on either side of us were taking advantage of that offer.
Harry T�s is a fun, lively place even on an unseasonably blustery May morning when the heaters were on and the heavy plastic windows were zipped up to keep diners on the outside deck warm.
We were seated on the deck, where the gorgeous view of Destin Harbor is part of the experience.
There�s also some seating inside, and, as of Memorial weekend, our server said the full menu would be available upstairs in the bar and at the tables that sit right down on the dock.
In fact, we took a walk along the dock after our meal.
Our server, Joni, couldn�t have been nicer or more eager to make our experience at Harry T�s enjoyable.
She took extra care to time our courses right and made sure we had everything we needed, from cocktail sauce and tartar sauce to refills of our tea.
She was every bit as attentive to her other tables, too.
When she found out we were local and, yet, this was our first visit to Harry T�s, she encouraged to us to come back, especially to enjoy the restaurant in warmer weather.
Before we ever left Harry T�s that day, I already knew I wanted to go back.
