Tranquil talk with Dog Bite's Phil Jones
In the eyes of the music scene, Dog Bite might come off as tame. Phil Jones, frontman and voluntary Zen master of the group, has been cast as a domesticated dog within the walls of chillwave, as once a member of the pioneering electronic act Washed Up. The fourpiece, which began as a solo outlet while Jones was on the road, has become, after a couple releases and countrywide tours, an assembly of like-minded musicians ready for a musical change of scenery. With a little help from a liberating record label and some influential contemporaries, Jones is ready to cut the leash with the release of Tranquilizers, which shows him and his bandmates in their natural habitats—somewhere in limbo between gooey shoegaze and retro soul.
"I was actually listening to this thing David Byrne was saying about musicians being put into these little groups, and at the time it's not the greatest thing. But [these groups] sometimes help propel your name, or what you're doing," Jones told me on the phone in December. "But if it wasn't 'chillwave' it would have been something else, you know. So I'm cool with it as long as people are listening."
It would be difficult not to pin Dog Bite to a sound, especially after discovering the group is made up of former Washed Out, Mood Rings, and Balkans members. But when you read the influences—J Dilla, Caribou, and The Roots—alongside recorded covers from bands like Atoms For Peace, hampering labels and preconceptions begin to fade.
"Dog Bite—it's music that just wants to hang out a little bit, talk about the universe, and then go home," Jones explained, in an attempt at simplifying Tranquilizers.
In other words, this album is your shady drug dealer who sparks a joint, poses a few philosophical questions, and leaves you in a haze of thought and sedation. What is likely an all-too familiar metaphor for these four Atlantans, sums up the record nicely as an ephemeral piece of work that'll latch on to your thoughts for days after your first listen.
Less than a year removed from Velvet Changes, Dog Bite's Carpark Records debut, and fresh off a tour with labelmate, and musical confidante, Chaz Bundick (aka Toro y Moi), Dog Bite considers Tranquilizers to be the most defining work so far in their "musical journey." The release of the album's first single, "Dream Feast", in October marked the start of a new era for Jones.
"I wanted to let people know this album was not like the first one. I wanted to set a tone for what's to come." That tone Jones speaks of, as he stands by his decision to pick "Dream Feast" as a single, is an overall more mature one that hinges on a dark sense of nostalgia. "Dream Feast" falls far on the side of Dog Bite's signature dream sequence mellow-rock, rather than showing off Jones' recent creative embrace of crate-digging, R&B, samples, and groove.
"Well I've been really into sampling. I like to sample and [draw influence from] a lot of stuff from the 60s and 70s. There are all the little crackles and little imperfections old records have but you go through all that stuff and come by these gems."
Jones and the rest of Dog Bite compiled some songs in November, all along the lines of Jones's recent binges—Otis Redding and Isaac Hayes, to name a few—and released a foreshadowing mixtape. The remastered deep cuts, when the light hits them right, showcase a bridge between R&B soul and the art of shoegazing. One could speculate that Jone put this tape together to ease the listener into Tranquilizers. He was quick to turn down this assumption.
"I'm not sure I intentionally did it," Jones said about his genre-blending. "I started recording it while mixing the first album and I wanted to take a different approach. But I never try to work it out too much. I like to sit down, get ready to record and see what happens. I don't like going in with too many preconceived ideas."
Coupled with a mattress of oscillating guitars and modulating pulses, Jones's knack for hypnotic use of space and clarity is unwavering, even in the face of instrumental complexity. The record features work coming from hands other then Jones's for the first time, with former Balkans' bassist Woody Shortridge and percussionist Tak Takemura contributing tracks to round the edges of Jones's nebulous vision. After years of touring as a musical supplement, writing guitar riffs on battered acoustics to escape the insincerity of the electronic music he was churning out nightly, Tranquilizers captures Jones at his truest. Between moments of pop ingenuity riding along the simple tasteful drum grooves, the most telling moments are when everything else takes a back seat to Jones belting out croons and hooks over a warm drum machine and soft guitar strums. It has been a goal of Jones's to create the emotional sound he wanted with lo-fi rock-oriented arrangements rather than electronics. His only electronic tools were an analog drum machine and the occasional synth pad, and only on select songs.
"After Washed Out, I started going down that path a little more. It was probably because [Washed Out] was starting to use a lot more electronic stuff, and I wanted to have more guitar-based sounds, without any synths or anything like that."
Despite the simplifying that Jones intended on Tranquilizers, one of his secret tricks is sampling and repurposing his own songs.
"For example, there's a song called 'Clarinets' where I just recorded three different guitar chords and threw them into a beatpad and just kind of messed around with the timing and pitch of each one until it evolved into the weird pattern," Jones told me of the unorthodox recording method. As someone who began a career in music from an interest in sampling, this ingenuity seems par for the course. And though Jones worked singularly for years, signing with Carpark required a little help from his friends.
"I've known Chaz [Bundick] for a while now, three or four years. He always helped me out with little stuff here and there. He showed Carpark my stuff," Jones explained.
"You hear horror stories from other musicians about what labels let them or don't let them do. But Carpark has been extremely willing to let me do whatever I think is right for my music," Jones said of the label that is home to genre-bending artists like Dan Deacon, Beach House, and Speedy Ortiz.
Dog Bite has found a niche that is based around breaking free and moving forward. This album has the entire framework in tact to follow its label predecessors in stirring things up in whatever scene critics will package it within. But by that time, Jones will be miles away.
"At this point I think I'm more interested in the music itself. I don't think too much about how it's going to be received afterwards because I'll always be on to something different."
Dog Bite's Tranquilizers is out now on Carpark Records.

Sky Bet Championship key transfer: Ross McCormack to Fulham
After a fine 2013/14 Sky Bet Championship season with Leeds United, striker Ross McCormack has signed for divisional rivals Fulham for an undisclosed fee.
The 27-year-old had a hand in 36 goals last term for the Whites, netting 28 in the Sky Bet Championship to make him the division's top scorer.
One of his finest displays came at The Valley in November when he struck all four of Leeds' goals in their 4-2 victory against Charlton Athletic, helping him to pick up the Sky Bet Championship Player of the Month award.

Felix Magath is rumoured to have paid £11million to secure the services of the Scot but he has bagged someone who could be the catalyst for Fulham's immediate return to the top flight after their relegation last season.
Magath told fulhamfc.com: "Ross was not only the top scorer in the Championship last season, but also made a lot of assists, so has a proven pedigree at this level which can only be an asset to us.
"I'm glad for our fans that we've signed an experienced and exciting player, a Scotland international, with a great attitude and presence who can be a leader that our young and ambitious squad can learn from."
He will join Kostas Mitroglou in an expensive front-line at Craven Cottage, the Greek having joined Fulham for around £12m in January.
The Cottagers have also brought in defenders Kay Voser, Tim Hoogland and Shaun Hutchinson and Australian attacker Adam Taggart during the summer.

Are fairy tales still relevant for kids? [A talk with the stars of "Pete's Dragon"]
by Tami Orendain
in Walt Disney Studios
— 8 Aug, 2016
Last month we got to sit down for some roundtables with the cast of Pete's Dragon, Disney's latest film about a boy and his mysterious (and furry!) forest friend.
Among the things the cast and crew pointed out were that the perception of children's movies, especially those with fairy-tale stories, is changing. Unlike many modern children's media, Pete's Dragon follows classic fairy-tale lines, even going so far as to show viewers scary scenes that almost today feel unfit for young audiences.
Bryce Dallas Howard, however, pointed out to us that the scary elements of the film do more than point back to classic tales. "Disney has this history of making movies where their central characters are young people who are faced with the worst possible situation, and yet are able to move through it and not just survive, but find themselves because of that," she said. "And, you know, in the case of Pete's Dragon, this is a movie about what it takes to find your family when you think you've lost your family. And so I think that these stories actually play a role in our society that is of service to children."
Robert Redford, a man with an extensive background in film, agreed when the press asked him about the necessity of showing children fear and emotion in the film. "I think it's necessary," he said, "simply because the world is bigger and darker than they know when they are little."
Ultimately director David Lowery drove the point home by highlighting the fact that modern entertainment cannot overtake classic storytelling. "My hope, and we'll find out if this is true or not, is that in spite of the extreme media literacy of current generation of film audiences, particularly children, that a good story, well-told, with characters and emotions that engage them, will ultimately still have a place."
The roundtables included a talk with two actors who don't just watch movies, but rather star in movies themselves: Oakes Fegley and Oona Laurence.
When asked about lessons they'd learned as actors, both emphasized the importance of humility. "I guess the main idea that I've gotten from a lot of people is, you know, stay humble," said Laurence. "Because once you start acting, like oh, well since I'm in movies, I get to act all cool and stuff, I mean I'm better than everyone. I mean it just ruins the whole point of acting. You're supposed to send out a message and stuff, and films teach people."
Oakes agreed: "I mean you can't just think that you're gonna be successful, and you never should think that's how you got there. And you should always think that you've worked very hard to get to the place you are, and I'm really, really happy that I'm able to do this."
The depth of emotion that these young actors feel for their craft is well-reflected in the emotion of Pete's Dragon. The film definitely transports its audience back to classic fairy tales – those unafraid to show both joy and fear. The hopes of the cast and crew, however, are that the film is able to show children a picture of reality through fantasy, and in my opinion the film does that very well.
Take yourself back to a time when fairy tales came to life and watch Pete's Dragon, in theaters this Friday, August 12.

The Average Income of a Chartered Accountant
by Marie Gentile
A Chartered Accountant is very similar to a Certified Public Accountant in the U.S.
1 Do You Need to Recertify as an Accountant?
2 How Much Do CPAs Make?
3 How Much Does a Senior Accountant Tax Person Make?
4 Tax Preparer Vs. CPA
Chartered Accountant is a term most commonly used in commonwealth countries such as Britain or Australia, and is equivalent to a Certified Public Accountant in the U.S. A CPA helps individuals and companies maintain financial records and assists with financial planning, auditing and tax strategies.
CPAs specialize in tax planning but can also provide a wide array of financial services. Accountants aid clients in personal and business tax planning, preparing income tax returns, and, when necessary, auditing. Audits are conducted annually for many businesses, government agencies and nonprofit organizations, and help these organizations better understand their financial position. Some CPAs, particular those with Personal Financial Specialist certification, also help clients with basic financial issues such as planning for retirement, paying for college, building a portfolio and starting a business. Accountants may also offer business and management consulting, helping companies manage their financial infrastructure.
Becoming a CPA in the U.S. requires a series of specific standards and certifications, which may vary by state. You must obtain at least a bachelor's degree, preferably in a finance- or business-related field, and pass four sections of the CPA examination, as well as a professional ethics exam. In order to become officially certified, you must also send letters of recommendation to your state's board of accountancy, submit college transcripts, provide a record of your work history, and submit application fees. Throughout your career, you must also stay up-to-date on current tax laws and regulations.
The mean salary for accountants and auditors in the U.S. is $75,790, as of May 2012, which equates to an hourly wage of $36.44, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This is 44 percent higher than the average U.S. income of $52,762, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau. The top 10 percent of accountants can earn as much as $111,510, while the bottom 10 percent earns about $39,930.
Geographical Variations
The highest-earning accountants in the U.S. largely reside in California, Texas, Alaska, New England and the Mid-Atlantic states. The state or district with the highest earners is Washington, D.C., which has an average salary of $87,370, and $42.01 per hour. The next highest-paying state is New York, followed by New Jersey, Maryland and California. The lowest-earning states are primarily located in the South, such as Mississippi, South Carolina and Kentucky, or the West, such as Montana, Wyoming and North Dakota. The highest-paying metropolitan area for accountants is the New York City area, with an average yearly income of $91,240. One of the lowest-paying areas is central South Dakota, where the average salary is $51,910.
2016 Salary Information for Accountants and Auditors
Accountants and auditors earned a median annual salary of $68,150 in 2016, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. On the low end, accountants and auditors earned a 25th percentile salary of $53,240, meaning 75 percent earned more than this amount.

You can pride yourself for helping the industries to reach his or her goal i actually.e. becoming environmentally friendly. All you have to carry out is you could make your trash achieve the right industrialist that could recycle the item in the environmental friendly method and incognito them in reusable merchandise.
Some rubbish haul companies offer precise removal of items from your making among their professional services. Have a group of old home equipment in the loft that don't do the job anymore? Need to get rid of old furnishings in the space you're leaving prior to a movers show up to pack upward what you're trying to keep? Junk haulers can contain those extra-large items from your own home or office and first deposit them in a truck or dumpster for later disposal. An essential advantage of hiring a junk removing team which offers lifting is the fact you're staying away from the risk of personal injury that comes with DIY removal of heavy objects--you might pull a lean muscle or fall that automatic washer on your foot or so, but an established will be able to get all important safety precautions. Junk hauling advantages also use measures to ensure that virtually no floors, surfaces, or fittings are harmed during rubbish removal, which means your cleanup method won't have to incorporate wall patching and fresh paint touch-ups.
You want to rent any dumpster or dumpsters from the reputable organization as well. Clean up dumpsters and excellent customer care are two other stuff you want to be sure to have previous to deciding recognise the business to rent via.
Your landscaping is an important part of your home's style. Every lovely house needs a beautiful garden, and it often hurts when you have to watch in which landscaping always be destroyed from one do-it-yourself project and other. You try to maintain that destruction at a minimum, nonetheless, which gives you plenty of reason to think double before deciding on a 10 Yard Dumpster For Rent in Hopkinton, RI rather than carting your waste materials yourself.

Q: Is it possible to implicitly cast to a wrapper for UI? I have a huge collection of objects of type Person, which I can not modify or inherit.
This is person.cs
public class Person
{
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
}

And I want to have additional Information in my Grid (Wpf Datagrid) which I have to lookup in a IValueConverter. But IValueConverters are a bad solution if you have a lot of Persons ( > 500 )
My idea was to create a wrapper like this:
public class PersonWrapper
{
    public Person Content { get; set; }

    public string GetAdditionalInfo
    {
        get { return Helper.GetMagicInfo(Content); }
    }
}

With this trick I can avoid having a IValueConverter.
Now comes my question:
Can I implicitly (with MarkupExtension or with TypeConverter) "wrap" my class for use in Binding?

Edit:
I wrote a TypeConverter and used a TemplateSelector.
The TypeConverter:
public class PersonTypeConverter : TypeConverter
{
    public override bool CanConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext context,
        Type sourceType)
    {
        return sourceType == typeof(Person);
    }

    public override object ConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext context,
        System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture, object value)
    {
        var s = value as PersonWrapper;
        if (s == null)
            return new Person();
        return s.Content;
    }

    public override bool CanConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext context,
        Type destinationType)
    {
        return destinationType == typeof(string);
    }

    public override object ConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext context,
        System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture, object value, Type destinationType)
    {
        return new PersonWrapper() {Content = value as Person};
    }
}

And added the Attribute to Person.cs
[TypeConverter(typeof(PersonTypeConverter))]

And I used it like this:
<Window.Resources>
    <DataTemplate x:Key="dt" DataType="{x:Type local:PersonWrapper}">
        <StackPanel>
            <Label Content="{Binding FirstName}" />
            <Label Content="{Binding LastName}" />
        </StackPanel>
    </DataTemplate>
    <local:CTemplateSelector DefaultTemplate="{StaticResource dt}" x:Key="CTemplateSelector" />
</Window.Resources>
<Grid>
    <ContentControl Content="{Binding OurText}" ContentTemplateSelector="{StaticResource CTemplateSelector}" />
</Grid>

The TemplateSelector:
public class CTemplateSelector : DataTemplateSelector
{
    /// <summary>When overridden in a derived class, returns a <see cref="T:System.Windows.DataTemplate" /> based on custom logic.</summary>
    /// <returns>Returns a <see cref="T:System.Windows.DataTemplate" /> or null. The default value is null.</returns>
    /// <param name="item">The data object for which to select the template.</param>
    /// <param name="container">The data-bound object.</param>
    public override DataTemplate SelectTemplate(object item, DependencyObject container)
    {
        Debug.WriteLine(item?.GetType());
        return DefaultTemplate;
    }

    public DataTemplate DefaultTemplate
    {
        get ;
        set ;
    }
}

But the TemplateSelector always prints out Person as type.

A: You should be able to get away with subclassing from your person object such as
public class MyPerson : Person
{
    public string FirstLast
    { get { return string.Format( "{0} {1}", FirstName, LastName ); }}

    public string LastFirst
    { get { return string.Format( "{0}, {1}", LastName, FirstName ); }}

    public string YourOtherContext
    { get { return WhateverFunctionToGetContext( this ); }}
}

Then you have your other function that return the string you want to present.  Your bindings get all the default properties of the person structure and you have just extended with these new properties without any converters.  When the grid is bound to them, it calls the getters just like any other and returns that value.

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Palestinians and Jewish West Bank settlers clashed for a second day over land that both sides claim as their own.
Settlers from the Esh Kodesh outpost near the Shiloh settlement and Palestinians attempting to plow a field between the outpost and the Palestinian village of Qusra both set tires and fields on fire.
The Palestinians plowed in the field on Tuesday, which led to the first set of clashes, which included rocks being thrown at Israeli soldiers.
Israel's Supreme Court recently ruled that the Palestinians could plow the land, according to Israeli media, citing security sources.
Outpost residents have cultivated the tract of land for 10 years, The Jerusalem Post reported, citing outpost residents.

Usually, the development of a medical device happens out of the public eye, but in our case, we have shared information with the public and have gathered a large and wonderful group of Vasalgel followers. Their support enables the Vasalgel team to demonstrate that men are ready and willing to use a new male contraceptive.
We know some Vasalgel fans are frustrated at the pace of medical device product development. We understand; indeed our wish to expand men's contraceptive options initially inspired us to optimism about the timetable. But as our team has grown, so has our understanding of the requirements of the process and the best way forward.
As in the past, we'll continue to share appropriate details of our progress in making a safe, affordable, and reversible form of male contraception. However, because we're working in a highly competitive and regulated environment, we'll be less specific about our product development plans and timelines.
We believe these changes in our communication style are the wisest strategy and will give us the best opportunity for success. As always, we're thankful to Vasalgel fans for their continued support and interest.

While many people react harshly to typical acne treatment ingredients like acid, tea tree oil is usually well-tolerated and comes with few, if any, of the nasty side effects when combined with a carrier oil and applied directly to skin. These artificial ingredients are absorbed into the skin and over time can build up in the body. I get it from a guy that sells the nut itself. Benefits of raw honey include reducing breakouts, providing moisturizing properties, containing antiseptic qualities, encouraging wound healing, fighting allergies or rashes, and helping to reduce scars. Glad Robin mentioned it. Thanks for your Tips.
If you have sensitive skin or a history of allergies, then by all means use a patch test to test your relative sensitivity to the new ingredients.

Chamomile also makes a good antiseptic eyewash. Even natural skin care products.
Have you ever calculate how much money you have spent for beauty purpose in a month or a year? Then dip your wet fingers onto the sugar and place over your face.

Un arxiu històric és una institució cultural que conserva, tracta i difon documentació de valor permanent, que li ha arribat mitjançant transferència de l'arxiu central o intermedi, com també per donació, dipòsit o adquisició, amb finalitat cultural i com a eina bàsica per a la investigació històrica. Un exemple d'arxiu històric com a institució és l'Arxiu Nacional de Catalunya o l'Arxiu de la Corona d'Aragó.

Els arxius històrics també són, d'acord amb la primera accepció un conjunt orgànic documental, el conjunt de documents que han perdut la seva vigència administrativa i han adquirit un valor permanent, del tipus que sigui preferentment secundari, cultural o històric. Un exemple en aquesta accepció és el fons de l'Administració Reial i Senyorial de l'Arxiu Nacional de Catalunya, dins de l'Administració Reial, l'ANC conserva 3.000 plets de la sèrie processos civils procedents de la Reial Audiència de Catalunya, des de finals del  fins al .

Introducció
La tipologia d'arxius segons el cicle de vida dels documents diferencia l'arxiu històric de l'arxiu administratiu. Un document travessa en la seva vida per diversos períodes: des de la seva elaboració o recepció, i durant un període més o menys curt de temps, és objecte d'ús intensiu per la resolució d'assumptes del creador; amb el transcurs del temps cada vegada és menys utilitzat, va perdent el seu valor segons els fins pels quals havia estat creat on finalment es decideix la seva destrucció o conservació permanent.

Els arxius històrics integren la documentació seleccionada pel seu valor informàtic, històric i cultural, la qual es conserva a perpetuïtat, en les condicions òptimes que garanteixen la seva integritat i transmissió a les generacions futures, pel fet d'esdevenir part del patrimoni històric de la humanitat i no trencar d'aquesta manera la idea d'unitat d'arxiu.

Mueller testimony in review: Covering up a massive Democrat-DOJ-FBI scandal
Analysis by WorldTribune Staff, July 28, 2019
Following Robert Mueller's congressional testimony on July 24, analysts and a former FBI official rebuffed expressions of sympathy for the special counsel and said that he was protecting those behind the "collusion" hoax.
Following Mueller's testimony, it is "now clear" that his investigation was not solely related to Russian interference in the 2016 election, "it was equally about protecting the actual miscreants behind the Russia-collusion hoax," Kimberley A. Strassel wrote in a July 26 op-ed for the Wall Street Journal.
Radio host Rush Limbaugh said: "Now, I know people are saying 'Rush, the man's an American hero. It's the twilight of his life. He's obviously not all there. Why continue to hit the guy?' Because this man is allowing his reputation to be used to press abject lies. This man is allowing his reputation for honor and integrity and unassailability to be used as the cloak, as the disguise, as the cover for a whole lot of lies that are slanderous and libelous to boot, if we weren't talking about a political figure."
Limbaugh continued: "So, no, there's nothing about Mueller being kept in the dark and not knowing what's going on. I mean, that may be the case in the sense that he doesn't have the energy anymore to actually do a 9-to-5 or 9-to-8 day every day with exhaustless energy interviewing people. Those days are long ago, but there's no way anybody's pulled the wool over his eyes. He is an active participant in this coup. He is an active participant in this effort because he is a member in good standing of the Washington establishment, and they are all unified in the effort to get rid of Donald Trump however and whenever."
Writing for The Hill, former assistant director of intelligence for the FBI Kevin R. Brock, said that Mueller's "pedigree of service to this nation" … "does not inoculate him from fair criticism, and this he invited in a number of ways during his appearance before the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees."
Brock said the nation "lost much of our trust" in Mueller "and that's a shame, for him and for us."
In the end, Brock wrote, "Mueller's rough day of congressional testimony brought added texture to what the American people are seeing more clearly with each passing day: The processes and infrastructure of government that we trust to fairly administer justice were imperiled for naked political motivations and advantage. It was cynical and wrong, and it begs for reform so that it never happens again."
Strassel wrote: "The most notable aspect of the Mueller report was always what it omitted: the origins of this mess. Christopher Steele's dossier was central to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's probe, the basis of many of the claims of conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia. Yet the Mueller authors studiously wrote around the dossier, mentioning it only in perfunctory terms. The report ignored Mr. Steele's paymaster, Fusion GPS, and its own ties to Russians. It also ignored Fusion's paymaster, the Clinton campaign, and the ugly politics behind the dossier hit job."
Mueller's testimony "put to rest any doubt that this sheltering was deliberate," Strassel wrote. "In his opening statement he declared that he would not 'address questions about the opening of the FBI's Russia investigation, which occurred months before my appointment, or matters related to the so-called Steele Dossier.' The purpose of those omissions was obvious, as those two areas go to the heart of why the nation has been forced to endure years of collusion fantasy."
Mueller claimed he couldn't answer questions about the anti-Trump dossier as it "predated" his tenure as special counsel and is the subject of a Justice Department investigation.
"These excuses are disingenuous," Strassel wrote. "Nearly everything Mr. Mueller investigated predated his tenure, and there's no reason the Justice Department probe bars Mr. Mueller from providing a straightforward, factual account of his team's handling of the dossier.
"If anything, Mr. Mueller had an obligation to answer those questions, since they go to the central failing of his own probe."
Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz stated it clearly in questioning Mueller: How could a special-counsel investigation into "Russia's interference" have any credibility if it failed to look into whether the Steele dossier was itself disinformation from Moscow? Steele acknowledges that senior Russian officials were the source of his dossier's claims of an "extensive conspiracy."
Given that no such conspiracy actually existed, Gaetz asked: "Did Russians really tell that to Christopher Steele, or did he just make it up and was he lying to the FBI?"
Mueller surreally responded: "As I said earlier, with regard to Steele, that is beyond my purview."
As Republicans continued to ask basic questions about his report's conclusions or analysis, Mueller "dodged and weaved and refused to avoid answering questions about the FBI's legwork, the dossier's role and Fusion's involvement," Strassel noted.
Ohio Rep. Steve Chabot asked how the report could have neglected to mention Fusion's ties to a Russian company and lawyer. Mueller: "Outside my purview."
California Rep. Devin Nunes asked several questions about one of the men at the epicenter of the "collusion" conspiracy — academic Joseph Mifsud, whom former FBI Director James Comey has tried to paint as a Russian agent. Mueller: "I am not going to speak to the series of happenings as you articulated them."
Mueller's "often befuddled testimony has predictably raised questions about how in control he was of the 22-month investigation or the writing of the report." Strassel wrote. "Yet in some ways it matters little whether it was Mr. Mueller calling the shots, or 'pit bull' Andrew Weissmann, or Mr. Mueller's congressional minder, Aaron Zebley. All three spent years in the Justice Department-FBI hierarchy, as did many of the other prosecutors and agents on the probe. That institutional crew early on made the calculated decision to shelter the FBI, the Justice Department, outside private actors, and leading Democrats from any scrutiny of their own potential involvement with 2016 Russian election interference."
Strassel continued: "That's been the story all along. Mr. Comey hid his actions from Congress; the Justice Department and FBI worked overtime to obstruct Republican-led congressional probes; and Mr. Mueller and his team are clearly playing their own important role in hiding the truth. The Mueller testimony only highlights how important it is that Attorney General William Barr is finally pursuing accountability."

URBAN / RURAL
Creative nonfiction, URBAN / RURAL
CALIFORNIA SCENARIO
BY JOSH OTTUM.
This is a set of three creative nonfiction essays interspersed with ambient sounds that give voice to the liminal landscapes found between urban and rural contexts. By exploring the sonic contours of suburban consumer culture, I aim to amplify the attenuated devices of comfort and control that spill out white earbuds and increasingly abandoned shopping malls. These essays explore the shape of particular spaces of consumerism found in Orange County, California, home of Disneyland, 10-lane freeways, and the beach.
To best experience these essays, they are to be read in conjunction with the audio file embedded below this introduction. Simply set your volume to a low level, press play, and begin reading. When finished, you will notice an embedded video at the end. If the music is still playing feel free to scroll back up and stop it and let it play out. The final video component attempts to meld the topics of the essays into sonic visual montages of the audible line where urban and rural meet. Before diving into the cool waters of California Scenario, a few words on the history of background music….
The functional mission of Muzak's product is to provide an experience to be heard but not listened to. The service originated with the US Military's experiments in finding ways to increase productivity amongst troops. These pseudo-scientific musical methods were then brought into hospital wards to expedite the healing process. Finally, Muzak made the jump into the commercial realm, thereby encouraging the commando, the confined, and the consumer. Like the spaces of malls and parking structures, the accompanying acoustical architecture is here to generate a sense of place, encouraging a desired emotional relationship between the human and her environment.
Easy listening artist Ray Conniff pioneered the idea of the "shadow choir." With this clever device, he used the human voice to evoke a mood rather than demand a sing-a-long. The shadow choir shines a light on the interior world brought about by the practice of humming. Conniff often left the word out of the picture in favor of reverberating androgynous "ooh's" and "aah's." My use of synthesizer vocal presets is intended to bring about a similar kind of co-presence. The aim is to enrich the experience by providing an opportunity to read along with an audible companion.
But fear not weary reader: the accompanying sounds are not intended to leave you disturbingly bored, annoyed by an intrusive voice that could envelop the private hum of your superb interpretational skills. That would be counter to the task at hand. Such a self-alienating state of mind could result in the witnessing of your own "destruction as an aesthetic pleasure of the first order." And that would be a shame. That would be like listening to music that was only designed to be heard…and who wants to do that? Nobody. Afterall, the intent of California Scenario is quite simple. As we set out on our journey, with healing at starboard and productivity portside, we can sail forth with singular purpose. And that purpose is to get stoked.
There's an island one mile inland from the Pacific Ocean. It was discovered in 1967 and has stumped scientists with its generative enlivened ecosystem, its ability to increase in size over the years. The island is known as Fashion Island. There are many like it but none so circular, none so picturesque. It sits like a partially submerged nautilus, stuffed into a gradually sloping hill. Rising high into the salty air at the south entrance to a then-Robinson's-now-Macy's you can bear witness to a lesser known wonder of the world: The World's Largest Wind Chimes.
Fashion Island has been sanded down over the years into a quilted pile of sandstone. It beckons the Orange County consumer to buy reliced iPhone covers for the price of an iPhone itself. The swirling architecture comes from the spinning mind of entertainment complex guru Jon Jerde. Jerde has spread his architectural seed across the world resulting in memorable spatial experiences such as The Mall of America, the branding for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, and San Diego's checkerboard Horton Plaza. A young Jon Jerde got lost in his father's oil refineries. Jerde liked getting lost. He designed Horton Plaza with three floors on one side and four on the other, a maneuver to encourage lostness. Jon and Ray Bradbury were friends. Ray liked malls. He wrote an essay called "The Aesthetics of Lostness."
Sculptor Tom Van Zant felt lost when his chimes got silenced. He was commissioned to build The World's Largest Wind Chimes as part of the establishment of Fashion Island in 1967. There are 73 golden brown bells with tiny porch-style wind chimes welded inside each dome. The bells hang on vertical chains in five columns. Shortly after their debut, the chimes were silenced.
The reason for the silencing is unclear, but one can speculate. The easy answer is that the royalty of Old Newport Beach was not pleased with the noise pollution. It could've been longtime Newport resident John Wayne. But what could The Duke say? "Life is hard…it's even harder when you're stupid. It's even worse when these wind chimes keep bumming out the little lady when she's heading into Robinsons after a long day in the kitchen." While larger chimes get tuned to soothing pentatonic scales, evoking a sort of back porch Orientalism, small chimes are pitched too high to discern any culturally specific harmonic relationships. They just chime and ring, clinking out like millions of glasses at happy hour.
Brian Wilson liked happy hour. He also liked donuts. He wrote a song called "Wind Chimes" just before he got into bed for a few years to eat donuts and have a nervous breakdown. His co-writer Van Dyke Parks penned the lyrics:
Hanging down from my window
Those are my wind chimes
On the warm breeze the little bells
Tinkle like wind chimes
Though it's hard I try not to look at my wind chimes
Now and then a tear rolls off my cheek
Close your eyes and lean back now listen to wind chimes
In the late afternoon you're hung up on wind chimes
The tension is in that last line. It polishes the compulsive streak that runs through Wilson's music. Wilson, and many of the other Beach Boys, had an array of addictions: cars, girls, drugs, self-realization, etc.. The Beach Boys made significant contributions to the creation of California as a commodity, helping to reveal addiction as the ultimate structure of the commodity itself. Surfers are addicted to waves, they're "on safari to stay." Cougars feed on botox, they're fountains of plastic energy. Everyone's adding fuel to the fire, or in more local terms, everyone's getting stoked.
What would it sound like if the chimes at Fashion Island began to melt. Melting chimes. Melting bells. Hear an imaginary slow wind chime. Does it have to sound like a sludgy pitched down tone? Its cool melting, liquefying the nervous little metal chiming. They just start splashing and dripping, releasing bigger chunks of cold molten metal, melting bells and chimes dripping straight up. Not sucked up by God's vacuum, but dropping upward like goosebumps raising arm hair. Merging with the marine layer, the sonic soup would spread out all the way to Disneyland. It'd be hard, but you'd try not to look. The sound of the World's Biggest Melting Silent Wind Chime flowing straight up out of Fashion Island: is this something to get stoked about?
Up the road from the chimeless Island sits South Coast Plaza. Both Fashion Island and South Coast opened in 1967. Victor Gruen, the father of the American outdoor shopping mall, put his thumbprint on the first, now defunct, phase of the complex. There are no silenced wind chimes, no residue of constricted sound. Just the quiet scream of right now.
Upon opening what would become the highest grossing mall on the West Coast, could Orange County developer Henry Segerstom conceive of the surreal pleasures of loitering afforded to disenfranchised I wonder if he had a dream about a soon-to-be-married couple running through South Coast after hours. Could Segerstrom's auditory imagination be tuned so finely that he could both hear and listen to the future polyphony of teenage procrastination?
Perhaps Segerstrom's daydream sounded like this: young lovers with shopping bags, planning on cutting through the mall to get to their parked car on the other side of the sprawling complex. Time slowing down as they gradually realize their illegal solitude in the hollow sanctuary. Shiny floors, echoing tunes, luminous signage. Silhouettes against Tommy Hilfiger six packs and airbrushed faces of an 80 lb. models. Indoor palm trees and slick tan tiles giving way to an exit. All happening at half-speed.
South Coast sits just above the golden triangle of intersecting 405, 73, and 55 freeways in sunny Costa Mesa, California. This three-sided phenomenon maintains a distinct identity from other triangular cultural hubs in the area. To the south, Irvine Spectrum and its ferris wheel inhabit the v-shaped sliver where the 405 and 5 meet. To the west, at the intersection of the 55 and 19th Ave West, stands Triangle Square, an illogically named pie-shaped property with douchebag font. There, at Triangle Square, an impossible form reflects the impossibility of addiction: the Pretty Kitty Brazilian Wax shop, an Herbalife dealer, and a Cold Stone Creamery. It's all you could never want inside of a shape that could never be.
These impossible shapes, lodged between transitional spaces, materialize the quiet scream vibes of the Southern California coastal region. Even the idea of "coastal" evokes a kind of scenario or sense of likeness, as in…like, totally almost likeness. Like being almost totally hammered. Like going coastal instead of postal. Like…OHMYGOD. The timbre of Orange County voices reflect the impossibility of the propagating architectural shapes that dot the landscape. The sounds are fried, like the vocal fry of Britney Spears' most intimate verses. They go down like a shot of wheatgrass. The voices sound even better blaring out of a compressed cell phone in speaker mode: screams of delight, shredding through the frequency spectrum. If you get too close you might hear more than exclamations…and that would be, like, tooooo close. The perfect distance allows for abstract sonic contour, bubbling and peaking, oohing and aahing like a shadow choir.
Beneath the unthinkable subterranean infrastructure of South Coast Plaza lie the remains of a soupy agribusiness. The Segerstrom family fortune is based on a large piece of land that once functioned as a lima bean farm. Henry Segerstrom and his cousin Hal opened the mall with big dreams. In order to make a significant gesture toward establishing the area as a civic and cultural bastion, they sold land to Sears and May Company for a buck apiece. The plan worked and raised the international profile of the place. Weary travelers can fly to John Wayne Airport and take a trillion dollar cab ride to the largest mall on the West Coast in just ten minutes.
There must be a million lima beans down there, heading the exact opposite direction from those upwardly mobile wind chimes. They're so much lower than South Coast's discounted prices, so much lower than the lowest cut tank top Wet Seal ever sold. The spirit of the lima bean sinks deeper. And that's where it stays, underground, all tangled up in weeds and decomposing matter.
Noguchi Garden contains seven components to reflect California's rich landscape:
desert land
spirit of the lima bean
energy fountain
These seven components are spread across a 1.6 acre box of land surrounded by two mirror-window skyscrapers and two creamy white walls. One wall functions as an exterior support to the surrounding parking structure while the other blocks the buzzing 405 freeway.
To further his interests in commerce and the arts, Segerstrom reached out to Los Angeles-born artist Isamu Noguchi. Noguchi was known for his modernist sculpture, landscape architecture, and Herman Miller coffee tables. He also did stunningly minimal set design for the Martha Graham/Aaron Copland ballet Appalachian Spring: pastoral sounds, expounding on the merits of the simple gifts of a shaker hymn, wide open American imagination. So much space. Such a far cry from 405 traffic and little yellow BMWs whizzing by on their way to packed pilates classes. Is it possible that, back in 1980 when Segerstrom started the project with Noguchi, old Henry could hear the sound of his own pulse? Could he dream/hear that little yellow Beamer driver's sweaty pulse? Could he hear/dream her stoked heart as it throbs to the beat of Pitbull's new record Global Warming?
Segerstrom asked Noguchi three times if he'd build a garden for him. He finally said yes. It must have been spirit of the lima bean kind of money. How else could he agree to bring his spiritualized minimalism into such a bulging cleavage landscape? In its current state, Noguchi Garden is no more than a transitional space to pass through from the parking garage to the mall. It's also a good place for TGI Friday's employees to take a smoke break.
Dangling around on the rearview mirror of the speeding yellow Beamer is a Little Trees disposable air freshener. It slams against the cold black plastic and occasionally obstructs the backward glance. Paranoia is part of the thrill of speeding. Like getting stoned and wondering if there is a cop in the fridge. Its the one place you want to go but it contains your worst fear. But the driver doesn't think about psychoanalysis. Pilates ends at 7:00 and she'll be slamming bright blue shots at the Costa Mesa's Anti Mall by 8:30. The Anti Mall was NOT designed by Victor Gruen or Jon Jerde. It was designed by a guy with a beard who has 3 billion instagram followers. He despises capitalism. He's appalled by such flagrant, fragrant displays of consumerism. He wants his IPA to be fragrant and his products to look like they fell off a tree. He wants Jon Jerde to get lost, permanently.
The Anti Mall is located across from Camp, another bastion to anti-capitalism. Like Noguchi's sets for Aaron Copland's wide open ballets, these are areas for the common man. Jack Johnson took the torch from Aaron Copland. You can hear him singing about banana pancakes out of speakers embedded in bushes and little trees throughout Camp. You can also find an Urban Outfitters, Native Foods, Sushi Bars, Buffalo Exchange, super expensive coffee, an airstream converted into a used record shop, and even a fixed gear bike shop. It all comes naturally.
Noguchi's garden shows up on most maps as Noguchi Garden. But the true name, its maiden name, is California Scenario. Read it s l o w. Drink it like a blue shot. Now keep it where your tonsils used to be. Gargle it. The branches of the "Forest Walk" gentle giants sway gently, offering reflective glimpses of themselves in the mirrory exteriors of the surrounding banks. The reflections can be loved like the originals. The counterpoint of laughter wafts out of the nearby TGI Friday's. Sounds of trees and traffic pad the sugary chimes of happy hour.
A mid-60s, ex-hippy nature writer might be bummed on this scenario. He might personify Noguchi's nine redwoods, saying they seem to sigh under the weight of their task. All the weight of the looming banks and the trafficky air. Ugh. InstagramAntiMallCamp guy, future ex-hippy 2.0, is even more pissed: thoughts dripping upward, eco-friendly, quietly boiling over, thinking, "modernism can suck it…ugh…anyway, I wonder how many followers I have?"
In an interview with the Laguna Beach Art Museum, Segerstrom recalled that Noguchi "wanted little weeds to grow up between the stones as the mortar cracked…because he wanted the garden to return to nature." 30 years on, not a single weed can be found. Maybe all the weeds are commiserating under the Spirit of the Lima Bean Sculpture, with its 15 pudgy lima bean facades etched out of a million pounds of stone. Maybe the weeds already made a plan. Now they're busy running the length of the 55 freeway, down toward Fashion Island. They'll hit the Island full force, sprout lima beanstalks straight up out of the ground and shake the hell out of The World's Largest Wind Chimes.
Or not. Maybe there are no weeds. But the lack of weeds is no bother. The trees aren't sad, the banks aren't smug. In a sense, the garden has already returned to nature, it never went anywhere. There is no return to a pure nature. There is no pure nature. Just pure scenarios: Putting your ear up to a fake nautilus, listening for the spaces between non-existent sounds, knowing that the animal inside was never there. Lack turns into non-lack and unemptiness is easy to locate. All of this, in Orange County? Just north of the Costa Mesa VA Hospital where unproductive soldiers are healing to the therapeutic sounds of Muzak. It's California Scenario and it's right there next to TGI Friday's, across the street from the lima bean farm.

Contempt Motion Dismissed on the Facts
DeepRoot Green Infrastructure, LLC v Greenblue Urban North America Inc 2022 FC 709 McDonald J
2,552,348 / 2,829,599 / Integrated Tree Root and Storm Water System
DeepRoot's 348 and 599 patents relate to a landscaping system to promote healthy urban trees using a subsurface structural cell system that supports the hardscape (eg sidewalk and paving), enables stormwater retention and filtration as well as allowing tree roots to grow in uncompacted soil. In DeepRoot v Greenblue FC 501 (see here) McDonald J held that DeepRoot's patents were infringed by Greenblue's RootSpace product. She consequently enjoined Greenblue from infringing. After this decision, Greenblue revised its product by adding the "Airform" component, in an attempt to design around the patents. In response, DeepRoot brought a contempt motion against Greenblue. McDonald J dismissed the motion in a decision that turned entirely on the facts, on the basis that DeepRoot had not proven beyond a reasonable doubt that GleenBlue's revised system was infringing.
GreenBlue's RootSpace system with the AirForm component is shown below. The structural cell provides support and is in-filled with earth so that roots can grow freely without soil. An essential element of the claims at issue was that "at least approximately 85% of the volume can be filled with soil." McDonald J construed this as meaning greater than 84.5% [8]–[9].
As I understand it, the AirForm component is the flat square on the right. The other components are the same as the system that was found to infringe [39]. The AirForm is inserted at the base of the RootSpace, thereby taking up space that would otherwise be filled with soil, with the intent of reducing the volume available to be filled with soil to below 84.5%.
The key question in the contempt hearing was whether the RootSpace AirForm system did in fact have less than 84.5% available volume. Since this was a contempt hearing, the burden was on DeepRoot to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that that the volume of the AirForm system was at least 84.5%. DeepRoot it failed to discharge this burden.
There was an initial purely factual dispute as to the available volume just based on measurements. There was also a suggestion that the AirForm would deform under the weight of soil when in place, so that the available volume in use would be greater than when measured on the surface. DeepRoot did not establish either of these points beyond a reasonable doubt.
DeepRoot also argued that the AirForm component did not contribute to the structure. The factual dispute was whether the AirForm component contributed functionally to system (ie by increasing rigidity), or whether it was simply a spacer with the sole purpose of reducing the available volume. I must say that it is not entirely clear to me why this matters. Even if the sole purpose was to reduce the available volume to less than 85%, it's not clear to me why that would affect the conclusion on infringement, so long as it actually did so. In any event, DeepRoots argument on this point failed on the facts: the evidence was unclear and so the point was not established beyond a reasonable doubt [48].

If you're moving to Hong Kong, we can help make the process as easy and hassle free as possible.
Hong Kong is a popular relocation destination for British nationals due to its business links and shared history with the UK. For example, British nationals may visit Hong Kong without a visa and stay up to six months. However, if you wish to work, establish or join a business, study or permanently settle, you'll have to obtain the appropriate visa before arrival.
If you're considering a working holiday, like many popular destinations, it offers a 18-30 working holiday scheme so do your homework in advance.
