Syllogistic
Totality Theory
Preview(opens in a new tab)
This is a sketch of what I have professionally been involved with over the years. Throughout this time I have been working on a personal project which began when I first quit academia and went to study and work in Paris for twelve years. I have continued work on the project intermittently ever since. It culminates in my book The First Science and the Generic Code which I have just finished writing. The purpose of this page is to address a problem concerning the nature of the book. The book presents solutions to long standing problems in science, philosophy and the foundations of mathematics. Readers of the book may be left incredulous by the scope and depth of the overall approach. In a nutshell, the book is quite outrageous. However, this is not my fault; it is just that the Cosmos happens to be designed that way. I only tell the story.
Unfortunately, there are many books and pamphlets out there making all sorts of nonsense and outrageous claims. My book is not one of those. However I must face the problem and so have to be careful that my Deep Reality work doesn't get lost in the babble.
But the story presented below may add more confusion than clarity. In 1975 an Australian academic in Electrical Engineering quits academia and heads for Paris with the declared intention of making Marxism scientific. And why not? That was the sort of thing you did in the seventies. Later there were venture capital adventures with start-up projects based on my computer languages. They were all very expensive financial flops involving millions of dollars. But finally, a later start-up was successful. It was launched with no venture capital at all. This was Fusion Sport and had nothing to do with my research interests either. But then, maybe it did. You see, I have always been interested in how something can be created out of nothing. And we did it!
From the experience I learnt two things. Firstly, creating something out of nothing is not easy. Secondly, I have always been interested in the rationality of the self-fulfilling prophesy and how it works. People write about it for start-ups. The self-fulfilling prophecy is expressed in your Mission Statement. In reality it is much more complex than that. It is the consensus that the founders form right at the beginning. It is their vision of what the future for the company will be. It is an incredibly detailed view. What's more, it kind of comes true, not according to plan, but according to the vision. The only thing that doesn't work is the timeline. The timeline is always way out of whack.
So there it is. Twelve years spent recycling my brain in Paris. Languages that code the universe, making something scientific, creating something from nothing and the rationality of the self-fulfilling hypothesis. What better background for writing a fundamental book on Deep Reality?

The title of my Ph.D was "A Geometric Theory of Electrical Networks." A classical problem at the time was to work out the necessary and sufficient conditions for an R network to be implemented with only positive resistors. This is a stronger condition than passivity which is easily characterised by a positive definite matrix. It is impossible to solve this classical problem using normal matrix methods as the references frames tangle up with the desired result. I got rid of reference frames by using Blumenthal's Metric Geometry and proved that the geometric property of positive R networks was that, in the geometric representation, all the angles including the hyper angles were acute. I like geometric methods. I would probably have continued on in the geometry area if I had have known about David Hestenes work in Geometric Algebra (GA). Curiously, I was to come back to GA only over the last few years.
University of Maryland, USA 1974
One year sabbatical at University of Maryland. I had already developed some vague interest in Marx due to being radicalised by long campaigning against the Vietnam war in Australia but only had read Trotsky's History of the Russian Revolution and some of Chomsky's books. In the US I started seriously reading Marx after completing a Capital reading group directed by Paul Lodico from Washington State. By the end of the year I had read most of the Marxist classics and had started to grapple with Hegel in a terribly amateurish, and anguished way. I still retained my long interest in Charles Sanders Pierce though.
I came back to my post at Newcastle university with a grand project in mind. To the astonishment of my department mates I invited them into my office and told them to help themselves to my wall of engineering books. I can't explain it now, but I didn't think twice about my decision. Somehow I had to do it and straight away. Within a week I would be on my way to Paris.
It was Febuary 1975 and I was on my way to Paris but my young sister, Robyn, talked me into going via India which she knew very well. She drafted out an itinerary for me mainly concentrated in the South of India. It took me four months to complete but it was an experience which changes one forever. I even came across some communists in Cumbum, Tamil Nadu. I remember waking up in my hotel and seeing a bike flash past flying a huge red flag with hammer and sickle. I went out to buy a cigarette from a merchant in his typical one metre square stall on the side of the road. At the back of these stalls one usually sees framed pictures of the merchant's favourite three gods. Vishnu, Shiva and Ganesh are typical. As I paid for my cigarette and lit it on the smouldering cotton cord provided, I noticed the three framed pictures at the back of his stall. In exactly the same pale pastel shades of the Hindu versions were Marx, Engels and Lenin! Later at dusk Iwent to the mass rally being organised on the hill. There the secretary general of the Tamil Nadu communist party was addressing the rally. The whole spectacle really looked like Jesus on the mount. The sun was setting and as the rally ended I was accosted by some party members. They thought I was a CIA agent. Eventually I ended up talking to the secretary general, a highly educated and cultured man. I told of my plans of making Marxism scientific and some of my ideas. He eventually shook his head, and turning to his comrades said "This man is not a CIA agent.".
This is just one of many stories in India. I'm sure everybody has their stories too. India does make a strong impression. It was in Paris that I started reading Vedanta philosophy, an essential ingredient of any one who delves into the delights of Deep Reality.
Arrived in Paris and started learning French. Looked up the Marxist economist Jacque Valieire but didn't continue meetings as the direction of my interests was fast changing.
For the first six years in Paris, at the various universities and L' Ecole des Hautes Etudes I studied semiotics, functional linguistics, structural linguistics, logic, philosophy, comparative religion. I attended lecture series by Michel Foucault, Francois Chatelet, Henri Martinet, Algirdas Greimas and others.
I also served on the presidential central committee for Computer Science and Society and chaired three sub committees. That was a most stimulating time.
After six years, ran out of funds and had to work. Worked for Honeywell Bull and Bull Transac. In the latter case I was a consultant in the SMALLTALK language and object oriented programming.
Mana Project, Australia
Eventually developed my own language MANA and received seed capital from FA Technologies in Paris. Later teamed up with Colin Bray to co-found the MANA project funded by SCIRAD. This was arranged in France but the project was carried out in Australia. The total budget for the project was six million dollars but the stock exchange collapse dried up the funding and 1.7 million was not enough to finish the project. After the collapse of SCIRAD I founded Gender Systems Pty. Ltd. I raised some more funds which was enough to get to a working prototype. We sold two copies and that was the end of Gender Systems.
With both the MANA project with SCIRAD and Gender Systems I made just about every mistake in the book. At least with the SCIRAD formula all investors got their money back, but without interest. Gender Systems was a total loss.
Metaphysics of the Computer
Wrote book.
Douglas Joseph Huntington Moore. A Metaphysics nf the Computer: The reality machine and a new science for the holistic age.San Francisco. Calif : Mellen Research University Press, 1992.
The Metaphysics of the Computer book difn't go much further than a Greimas style semiotic square analysis of reality.When I once asked a French philosopher friend why Greimas didn't get the attention I thought he deserved The answer was swift and simple. Il n'y a pas de sujet. His answer was to haunt me for many years. How does one abord the problem of a science of the subject?
A consistent theme in the book was gender as a system construct. an idea dating from ancient times.The book explores the gender construct and is an attempt to understand it at the fundamental level. The work can be seen as an exploratory preparation for the real thing – my forthcoming The First Science book.
We are now in the nineties. Scirad Fund Ltd. had collapsed. The Mana project had moved on to Gender Systems Pty Ltd, that I had set up with some more venture capital.Eventually that too went into liquidation. Time to return to academia.
Back in academia. Wow! How the world has changed. Much more administration and red tape. I only took on one Phd student and that was in logical programming. I spent most of my time on Deep Reality stuff. It started off as Totality Theory -a completely naive notion – and then it became generic science, which is more correct. Progress was slow and, in my opinion, the work was far too immature to publish. Generic science was far too risky to take on a graduate student at that stage. Also resumed research and development of MANA multi-paradigm language.
In Generic Science I only need one publication to set the ball rolling and it may be necessary to bypass peer review. Either you have it or you don't. Newton's philosopher's stone. There is no chipping away in this area. It is only in 2010 that I eventually arrived at a sufficiently mature science. This will be the new book.
GAIA Project Israel 1997-1998
I developed an AI platform with artificial speech capability.
Here we go again. I must be allergic to tenured academic positions. This time I'm off collaborating with an Israeli entrepreneur. It involved my multi-paradigm language, now baptised GAIA. The end result was an AI platform with speech synthesis and speech recognition. Did the work from Brisbane and commuted to Israel every few months.
Fusion Sport
I met up with Marcus Deutsch, who has a Phd in Sports Science, and we founded Fusion Sport in 2003. Later that year Fusion Sport won the $100,000 UQ Business School Enterprise Award .

Software Contracts
I have completed many software contracts for major companies over recent years including a two year contract with Telstra. Other companies include Transtol, QPS and Bradnams.
Deep Reality Project
Now the big one! I have finally finished writing the seminal work The First Science.

My journey to make class UIs has begun. This month I painted interface art for a Warrior UI for my Patreon and it became rather cool if I do say so myself. The fun thing about just making art is that you can assemble it in any way you want. Pick and choose!

Patch 7.2 has launched and oh boy, don't we have a lot to do in the game? I haven't been bored this expansion, that's for sure. Tomb is coming up soon and so does the mini-patch 7.2.5. where we will get more class changes. Here are a few blizzard posts on the subject.
On the initial 7.2.5 PTR, we are trying out a version of Essence Font that is even stronger, but has a cooldown. In addition to some combination of a healing increase and mana cost reduction, the duration of the HoT will be increased.
Essence Font having no cooldown has held back the spell and the spec in a few ways. It essentially says that three relatively heavy heals (Essence Font, Enveloping Mist, Vivify) have to compete with each other at all times. The texture of using a heavy spell on a short cooldown, then falling back to the decision between spammable spells (selecting based on cost, number of targets, etc.) is common among healers for good reason. And Essence Font's HoT mechanic that improves mastery is meant to specifically enhance that sort of gameplay, and will be more effective on a spell with a cooldown.
As already mentioned, the first change that comes along with it is buffing Essence Font itself. It no longer has to be held back by "if it gets too much stronger than e.g. Vivify, people will only use Essence Font", and can simply be a high-priority spell. We will made other adjustments as needed for gameplay or tuning.

The Bunnell Pioneer House was constructed by Stephan and Mary Bunnell.
The land was purchased by the state of Utah for the UVSC Campus. Skylights, a spiral staircase, modern bathrooms, and a kitchen were added.
The house was dismantled to make way for the new Student Life and Wellness Center.
The original property was a 60-acre farm which also included several out-buildings.
The condition of the house deteriorated dramatically over time as it fell out of use.
A smaller tribute replica was built on campus, just south of the Sparks Automotive Building, using some of the original brick.


On May 14, 2008, it was announced that Flavor of Love 3 would be the final Flavor of Love.
After 3 seasons, Flavor Flav chose to not marry or date any of the winners from any of the three seasons.

After the show, she appeared on her own reality dating show, I Love New York, which aired for two seasons, as well as New York Goes to Hollywood and New York Goes to Work.
In season 3, fans even got to vote online to elect five of the contestants, though Flav sent four of them home in the premiere episode.
She gained notoriety after spitting on Tiffany Pollard shortly after her elimination.
This is also when the viewer finds out if Flav is still with the woman he chose and what they have been up to since the season wrapped.

Q: Alarm not triggering in android I am new to android programming. What am i doing wrong? AlarmReceiver class not triggering...I want to trigger repeatedly the AlarmReceiver.class ...
I used the code from this page https://developer.android.com/training/scheduling/alarms#precision
OnCreate at MainActivity.java i have the following code
   AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)this.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);

        Intent intent = new Intent(this,AlarmReceiver.class);
        //Check if the PendingIntent already exists
PendingIntent pendingIntent =
                PendingIntent.getService(this, 6661, intent,
                        PendingIntent.FLAG_NO_CREATE);
        if (pendingIntent != null && alarmManager != null) {
           //cancel here if you want
        }

        //Run every 60 seconds!
        alarmManager.setInexactRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP,
                SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() + 60000,
                60000, pendingIntent);

The AlarmReceiver.java class includes the following code...
public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

        // For our recurring task, we'll just display a message
        Log.i("logit","testing...");

    }
}

A: Do you have an entry in your manifest for the receiver like that?
<receiver android:name=".AlarmReceiver"></receiver>

Frequently Arsed Questions
A chip on my shoulder you can see from space
Fiction and non-fiction books
18 January, 2020 18 January, 2020 ~ RFM	~ Leave a comment
Nightfall – Little Big Town
Here we are then, twenty-twenty, the year of hindsight, and my first (new) album purchase of the year is this new record from vocal harmony group Little Big Town. And it's great, beautiful, and if you're not uplifted by the opening track, "Next to You", you're dead inside. The band wrote 34 songs for this album, whittled down to a lucky 13 for the release. There are lush songs reflecting on things worth getting up for, drinking songs, questioning songs, heartbreak songs, and all of it lifted by the soaring power of the human voice, the harmonies and arrangements, as ever, superb. It's not all Karen Fairchild, either. At times, I've felt that she's carried the rest with her amazing voice on their standout tracks. Not this time.
On Chapel Sands – Laura Cumming
Finally got to read this, a book that was on my list from the moment I read an extract in the Graun last year. I listened to the abridged version on Radio 4, but still wanted to read it. It's an intriguing story about a child who gets snatched from a lincolnshire beach in 1929. The child was the author's mother, and the story is both a deeply personal story about identity and a documentary about rural life and hard times in the Britain of long ago. The author is an art critic and tells the story through images, including both family photos and paintings. She highlights the mysteries of both, from the blurred faces of long-dead relatives to the carefully composed works of old masters. The writing is beautiful, the story tightly controlled, with startling revelations that keep coming. Having read this and Mark Lewisohn's first volume of his Beatles biography, and knowing some of my own family history, you start to form a picture of British family life that's completely at odds with the conservative myth of "family values".
My one criticism of On Chapel Sands is that it tries very hard to be a beautiful (hardback) book, but is let down by the reproduction of the images that are so important to the telling of the story (like the one above). What it needed was an insert of glossy pages. What it ends up with is what Kurt Vonnegut so memorably described: "They were grainy things, soot and chalk. They could have been anybody."
The Whisperer in Darkness – BBC podcast.
You ay have heard this recommended. Radio drama can be hit and miss; there are so many things that can go wrong. They can rely on grownass adult women to deliver the voices of children: bad. They can have extended sequences of grunts: boring. They can dumb things down too much: Journey into Space, I'm looking at you. They can be too depressing or too middle class. But The Whisperer in Darkness is properly good, so much so that I even forgive it the already tired trope of being a podcast about a pretend podcast. It even manges to be decently creepy and scary.
(In contrast, the latest BBC attempt at this kind of thing, Murmurs, becomes quickly unlistenable. It relies too much on irritating sound effects which are, well, irritating. And it uses a sound effects library of sounds that telephones haven't made in a long time. Also, it relies on the conceit that all of this drama is happening over telephone conversations – and who, these days, ever really talks on their phone?)
Podcastination Nation
5 October, 2019 5 October, 2019 ~ RFM
Thought it was about time for an update on what's in the 'casting playlist.
I just subscribed to The Missing Cryptoqueen (BBC), which was featured on this week's Fortunately (also BBC). It's the story of what appears to be a financial scam on a massive scale: a Ponzi scheme masquerading as a cryptocurrency. It's a good listen, although, as ever, I'm absolutely bewildered that people ever fall for these things. I mean, if a relative came to me and said, "Oh, I found a fantastic investment opportunity. You need to get on board," my immediate reaction is no thanks, I'll leave my pension exactly where it is. And if they were to add, "It's a Bulgarian cryptocurrency," my first thought is Mafia. My tenth thought would probably be, oh, outside of any financial services regulatory framework, then? What could possibly go wrong?
And yet it seems that thousands of people have invested gambled millions of Euros like so many cartoon characters with fruit machine eyes.Other recent additions to my playlist include Backlisted (Unbound), a books podcast, which came to my attention when David Hepworth guested on an episode about Beatles books. Quite apart from that, it's always good to listen to people enthuse about things they love. It's a little blast of fresh, optimistic air in our fractious times. I prefer Backlisted to Simon Mayo's Books of the Year (Ora et Labora), which is also on my list, as it's less of a plug show and more about pulling out unjustly overlooked titles and authors. The most recent episode, about Elizabeth Taylor (who I'm convinced is overlooked because of her name, which is shared by someone more famous than her), is a perfect place to start.
Another podcast featuring someone (theoretically) enthusing about something they love is The Band: A History (independent), which ought to be right up my street, but unfortunately the presenter needs some voice training. His delivery is flat and monotonous, making a fascinating subject seem dull.
Heavyweight (Gimlet) is back, and presenter Jonathan Goldstein is here to show The Band guy how it's done. Former This American Life reporter Goldstein can take the most mundane episode from an ordinary person's life and make it dramatic and mysterious. What is Heavyweight about? It's a little like the late lamented Mystery Show: people get in touch concerning unresolved incidents from their past, and Goldstein does his best to put people in the same room to have it out. I know it's a good podcast because I have a flashbulb memory of picking up chestnuts in the garden in France while listening to an episode about someone who was kicked out of a sorority in college and never knew why. It's episode #10, if you want to check it out. (I have a similar flashbulb memory of listening to an episode of Criminal about the theft of Pappy Van Winkle whiskey while riding my bike in France.)
I've started listening again to The Word podcast, which I had wrongly believed finished, or at least gone behind a paywall. This oversight can be rectified by downloading back episodes, of course. I love the content, but have to say that their audio quality is poor. Given that so many people manage to make podcasts with great audio, not all of them working for NPR or the BBC, then this seems a bit off.
Finally, a couple of complaints. I would never make a mean comment about a podcast on the iTunes review thing, but I have to get a couple of things off my chest.
There are a few people I kind of follow and listen to multiple podcasts they're on, mainly because they're enthusiastic/knowledgable about things that interest me. Merlin Mann, for example, is on a few podcasts, and I generally like his stuff. I love Roderick on the Line, and Reconcilable Differences (Relay) is still a favourite. On the other hand, I gave up on his Do By Friday because the constant giggling by one contributor and shilling for Patreon on the show got too much. I listen to a lot of Incomparable Network shows, many of which feature founder and former Macworld editor Jason Snell. But I can't listen to Mr Snell's podcast Upgrade (Relay), because his British co-host Myke Hurley is an idiot and a philistine ignoramus. I'm assuming his parents were idiots too, for giving him a nickname instead of a name and then misspelling it.
Talking of idiots. I like to listen to the thoughtful John Siracusa, who occasionally guests on The Incomparable and co-hosts Reconcilable Differences. But I cannot listen to his technology podcast Accidental Tech (ATP), because both of his co-hosts are whiny, entitled, car bores and one of them is also an idiot.
One of the things you learn if you know anything about technology and software is that, if you want an easy life, you shouldn't be an early adopter. The early adopter mentality should be that you can be first to have something but should always expect it to be flaky and buggy. This is something both Casey Liss and Marco Arment seem not to understand. So when they get the new iPhone/Apple Watch on release day and then find it takes a few software updates before things are working properly, they act like spoiled 10 year olds who have been told they can't have birthday cake until the candles have been blown out. Which is not to mention the shameful detail that one of them is such a self-entitled baby that he actually went down to the Apple Store to buy a new phone because the one he ordered online and which was out for delivery didn't arrive quickly enough for him. I ask you. Can you imagine being married to that? To be the wife who phones up while he is queuing in the store to inform him that his new phone has been delivered? Meanwhile, the voice of reason, John Siracusa, points out that if you were going to bent out of shape by software bugs, you should wait a few months to buy. My personal philosophy is that if you're buying a new iPhone, don't order it till November.
Anyway, I had to switch off an unsubscribe because I could no longer listen to these people whining. And it feels good to get it off my chest.
Autumnal Sounds
20 September, 2019 ~ RFM
I used to have a theory about country music, which I don't think holds up, but it went something like the following. There are off years and on years: every other year, there's a raft of great records; every other year, not so much. If such a theory were to hold true, then this year feels very much like an on-year. Mind you, it took till summer's end for most of the good stuff to kick in.
Terms of Surrender
Let's start with the most recent release, out today: Terms of Surrender by Hiss Golden Messenger continues MC Taylor's prolific run of releases (more or less an album a year for 10 years). Preview tracks included "I Need a Teacher" (which I think is objectively great, even though I am a teacher) and his personal "Happy Birthday, Baby" message to his daughter. If you listen to the words, this is intense stuff. As he admits in a Rolling Stone magazine interview, after his father's heart attack and a bout of depression, he started to think about mortality and what he would want his final recorded words to be. These intense songs about love and personal crises have the distinctive sound of HGM, a unique vibe that is restful to the soul and beguiling to the ear. Nobody else quite sounds like Taylor: he's almost a genre in himself.
I was there at the start of Sheryl Crow's solo career, with Tuesday Night Music Club, which had its moment back in 1993. But it was only a moment, for me, and I lost interest in her output after that. Unlike MC Taylor, she does not sound particularly distinctive to my ears, and I couldn't really pick her voice from a line-up. On Threads, her purported last record (why?), she pairs up with a variety of celebrity friends to perform songs across a number of genres. There's something for everyone here, and there's a lot of it, to the extent that you could pick a dozen or so of these songs and make yourself a great album. The pick of the bunch, for me, is "Prove You Wrong", performed with Stevie Nicks and Maren Morris, a terrific, barnstorming, singalong country-rock track. Then there are numbers with Bonnie Raitt & Mavis Staples; Chris Stapleton; Eric Clapton, Sting, & Brandi Carlile; Jason Isbell; Keith Richards; and so on. It's not a bad collection, and reminds me a bit of the Don Henley solo record of a few years ago.
Every Girl
Wow. Trisha Yearwood released her last proper album of new music, Heaven, Heartache and the Power of Love in 2007. Two thousand and seven. And after a run of strong records in the 90s and early 00s, her productivity had slowed considerably before then. Her last really strong set was Inside Out in 2001, and then there were just two more before the Long Silence descended.
The silencing of Ms. Yearwood's extraordinary voice coincided with the horrible descent of country radio into its current state of decay: a format that will play a record by literally anybody with testicles and a baseball cap, even if nobody knows who the fuck they are and only their mum and 70 high school friends bought their record; but will not play music by a woman, even if she's selling out stadia (Carrie Underwood) or going platinum (Miranda Lambert) or objectively better at music than anybody else. Trisha Yearwood's vocal technique rivals Sinatra's.
So is it any wonder that Yearwood, Faith Hill, The Dixie Chicks, et al all stopped releasing records around the same time?
But here she is, back: and it's a strong set. Fourteen tracks, killer vocals, terrific songs, everything we've been missing. The title track, "Every Girl in This Town" is an instant favourite, and there are whiskey songs, lonely songs, and duets with the likes of Kelly Clarkson, Garth Brooks, Patty Loveless and Don Henley. Welcome.
All of which leads to this. Listening to the radio while she was on tour, Amanda Shires idly decided to determine the ratio of male to female voices on country radio stations. She knew it was bad: everybody knows it's bad. She thought it might be as bad as 10 men to one woman; but as she took notes, she realised it was much, much worse. Nineteen. Nineteen tracks by men, followed by a lone female artist. And then the whole thing cycled around again. She phoned the radio station. "Why don't y'all play more tracks by women?" Well, they have to be requested. And then voted up. On Facebook.
But how are people going to request/vote for something they've never heard?
Catch 22.
Country radio is full of excuses as to why they don't play women. There's no demand (see above); listeners, particularly women, complain (um, fuck 'em); they're not really proper country, it's more, you know, Americana. Etc. Furthermore, the problem of only one woman at a time being allowed onto the playlist encourages female artists to act as if they're in competition with each other.
Enter the Highwomen: Amanda Shires, Brandi Carlile, Natalie Hemby, and Maren Morris. It's hard to underestimate how powerful that lineup is. Brandi Carlile was nominated for 6 awards at the 2019 Grammy's, and won in three categories. Her last three albums were #1 in the US Folk chart, and the most recent two were also #1 on the US Rock chart. Meanwhile, Maren Morris has a huge hit album on her hands, following her previous hit album, and unlike the others, has even had a #1 single on the Country Airplay chart. For her to align with the others is a powerful show of solidarity. Amanda Shires has won Americana and Grammy awards and rocked the Americana scene with her 2018 album To the Sunset. The fourth member, Natalie Hemby is less known for her own recordings (although I have her record and love it), but has written many songs for other artists, including no less than 5 #1 Billboard singles.
And here they all are, with this terrific, knock-down, take no prisoners, collection of brilliant country music, which is already both #1 on the US Country chart and #10 in the mainstream album chart.
The highlights for me are the title track, a reworking of Jimmy Webb's original "The Highwayman"; "If She Ever Leaves Me", a drop dead gorgeous lesbian love song; "My Only Child", a heartbreaking song about not being able to have more children; and "Loose Change", a classic I'm-too-good-for-you number. It's an unapologetic set of songs by women and about women in the great, long tradition of country music — a genre that Ken Burns' new documentary series will show has always given equal status to female artists.
Needless to say: highly recommended. This needs to happen.

John Roderick, of several podcasts, has a term for subscriptions. These ongoing payments suck money out of your bank account on a regular basis in return for [services] and if you're not careful, they'll suck you dry. Roderick calls them eels. They're attached to your major arteries and sucking blood. Picture yourself as an Ood from Doctor Who.
I currently subscribe to:
The BBC (£150 per year, £12.50 a month)
Amazon Prime (£7.99 a month)
Netflix* (£8.99 a month)
Apple Music† (£14.99 a month for a family plan)
NowTV‡ (£99 per year, £8.25 a month)
That's a grand total of £52.72 a month, £633 a year, for entertainment and free one-day delivery. Which is before we get to the other eels: broadband, phone contract etc.
It's a lot.
*I thought I'd be smart and do a 6-months-on, 6-months-off thing with Amazon and Netflix. The truth is, as I've said recently, that a lot of Netflix's Original programming is utter shite (especially their films), and I don't really want to be paying £8.99 a month all year round. So I recently cancelled the subscription and said to the family that we'd go back on when there was a list of 10 things worth watching.
Well, I lasted less than a month, because the Bob Dylan Rolling Thunder Revue documentary appeared, and there was no way I was going to wait 6 months to watch it. I considered it the equivalent of paying £8.99 for a one-off iTunes rental, or a cinema ticket, whatever. So I am currently back on Netflix, but not for long. I actually checked out the new Black Mirror and was confirmed in my view that most of what Netflix produces is mediocre at best, and, no, I don't want to watch no Jennifer Aniston movies, thanks.
†Bob Dylan is also to blame for my temporary subscription to Apple Music. I have no intention of paying the £14.99, which is ridiculously steep for what is essentially an annoyance. I've written before about how I was immediately irritated and turned off by Apple Music. You spend ages telling it what you prefer, and then it does nothing but recommend shite. I mean, take a look at this screenshot:
It's as if someone's Uncle Jack died and you're looking through all the CDs he bought from that advert at the back of his Saga magazine.
Now, I have a fair amount of modern country music in my Library, but Apple Music's "For You" section is stuffed with this crap and I have no more interest in it than I have in, say, Cliff Richard, Max Bygraves, or Nana Miskouri. It's all stuff you'd flick past while casually browsing at a car boot or a charity shop. Apart from it all being of no interest whatsoever, the list of recommendations is also overwhelmingly based around male vocalists, compounding the industry-wide marginalisation of women artists. Country radio already refuses to play contemporary country by women, but as far as Apple is concerned, it doesn't even exist. The only thing that might tempt me to subscribe to Apple Music full time is if they had a recommendation engine that would throw up current artists, the likes of Amanda Shires, Brandi Carlile, Lori McKenna, talented women who are producing incredible songs. In the absence of a robust music press, the world is crying out for a good music recommendation engine. But no, Music scrapes the barrel of music that was already in the remainder bin 40 years ago.
So, in reality, no, I'm not paying £14.99. I'm on a free trial, and that only because I wanted to hear (just once) the Bob Dylan Rolling Thunder Revue boxed set. Except, thwarted: they only offer a 10-track sampler on the streaming side, so bollocks to that.
‡Compared to all the others, NowTV is the best value. Who'd have thought I'd say that? Better value than the BBC, for me, because I watch almost nothing on BBC TV, and listen solely to radio stuff on the iPlayer Radio (definitely not on Sounds). I get both Entertainment and Movies from NowTV for £99. I got it once, for a year. And then when I went to cancel, they offered it to me again. I've almost zero interest in watching any movies, but it's part of the deal. The Entertainment pass gives me stuff like GoT (not full-time, but long enough to watch it) and Westworld, Bob's Burgers, and various other Sky Atlantic stuff. But it's touch and go. GoT is definitely worth the money, but Westworld's second season was shonky, and while I enjoy The Rookie, it's not worth £8.25 a month. So come renewal time, I'll have to seriously consider whether this eel will stay attached to my neck.
Which leaves Amazon and the BBC. I can tell you that Amazon's days are numbered. I spend too much when I'm on Prime. Also, Prime Video has very little stuff I want to watch. When it comes to it, I can't even be arsed to look at Season 2 of American Gods. I watched Good Omens, but persevered only because it was just 6 episodes. I love Bosch, which is very underrated by critics. And Patriot is good. But once I'm done with those, I mainly use it to watch Seinfeld, which I've seen multiple times and even own on DVD. So 6 months-on/off it will be.
I have no choice about the BBC. I'd gladly pay a bit for the (mostly archive!) radio I listen to, but I no longer value it as I once did. The Tories and the right wing press have done for it, and while I'm sad that happened, it happened. I obviously blame the voting public, who, like the proverbial turkeys, have allowed this government of corrupt incompetents to destroy our most valued cultural institution. BBC News is unwatchable, the Today programme is unlistenable, they allowed Simon Mayo and Eddie Mair to walk away, and the only current output I value consists of In Our Time and Fortunately with Garvey and Glover. You can point to odd gems like Killing Eve and Ghosts, and even bought-in stuff like What We Do in the Shadows, but in reality they're doing no better than Netflix and Amazon when it comes to quality control.
I was about to joke that I'd happily pay £2.50 a month for an iPlayer Radio licence, but having done the actual maths, it turns out that the BBC does spend about 20% of its budget on all its radio services, including local radio etc., so £2.50 as a proportion of that £12.50 is exactly right.
Anyway, my plan is to cut down the eels to a mere £356 per year, and we'll see how much Apple wants to charge for its forthcoming TV streaming service. As they're currently gouging people for £14.99 just for music, I don't hold out much hope in terms of value for money.
Peak TV is hard work.
BBC Sounds: Error 404
20 April, 2019 20 April, 2019 ~ RFM
Now, I know I'm not the target market so my opinions are irrelevant, but christ: have you heard the state of Forest 404 on the iPlayer? (Yes, you can get it on the BBC Radio iPlayer, so you don't need to suffer the Sounds interface. Yet. But they're coming for you.)
The BBC. Who the fuck is in charge these days? Clearly there's a little bit of existential panic going on. The core audience is dying off and the replenishers aren't arriving in sufficient numbers. There's a proper demographic dip in the numbers of 18-24 year olds at the moment, I'm given to understand. Because if these people don't start making use of the BBC, they'll shrug their shoulders when the Murdochs and the Mails come for it. And how do you persuade a generation who have easy access to digitised versions of almost everything all of the time to listen to the radio?
Forest 404 is somebody's idea of how to do that. And it's worth unpacking to understand what a complete shitshow it is. But again: I'm not the target market, so emoji shrug or something.
Let's start with the killer irony of how I heard about it. The only two BBC podcasts I listen to are In Our Time, hosted by the 108-year-old Melvyn Bragg; and Fortunately, co-hosted by Jane Garvey and Fi Glover, who are 108 years old collectively. So the BBC is promoting this patronising radio dreck at 108 year old listeners like myself. Which raises the question: are they really trying to attract a younger audience, or do they just want to be seen to be trying to do so? Is it, in other words, a box-ticking exercise? The answer to that question, reader, will probably not surprise you.
So what is Forest 404? Welp. It's a "soundscape", it's a "drama", it's a "documentary". It caters for the short attention span by having short episodes (the first is 25 minutes, the second 22, the third 19, so it goes); and it caters to the assumed/perceived ignorance of its listeners by interspersing episodes with exposition (designated with a T, which presumably stands for Thickoes), which patronisingly explain the background/premise and with "uninterrupted" sounds from the episodes (designated S for Seriously?). These mini-documentaries and soundscape excerpts are short (5-10 minutes) and remind me of the bits of filler at the end of David Attenborough documentaries, where they explain how they faked captured footage of snakes giving birth to polar bears or whatever.
I put scare quotes around "uninterrupted" above because, seriously? Because of course each chunk of audio gives the BBC a chance to put in some branding, "BBC Sounds…" and a patronising voice over explaining what it is you're about to hear.
Even more hilariously, the voice for "BBC Sounds" is different to the one you hear at the beginning of everything else from BBC Radio these days. It's hard to explain how fucking stupid this is, but here goes. When you start an episode of, say, In Our Time, you hear an obviously young, female voice, which says, "BBC Sounds. Music, radio, podcasts." Clearly the voice of a Bright Young Thing, probably someone younger than me would know who it is. Anyway, this is BBC Marketing at its best worst, because of course it's just sonic wallpaper, and I literally just now had to start an episode of Fortunately so I could hear the exact words she says. Because although I've already heard it and been irritated by it 150 times, I couldn't have told you the actual content of the message. Noise.
So that's stupid level number one, the typical kind of thing you'd expect from the marketing monkeys. But. Forest 404 is meant to be "dark" and "edgy", and so they use a different, young, female voice to say those exact same words. If the first voice sounds like a nice girl from the Home Counties who went to Oxford and that, the Forest voice sounds, ahem, more "urban", and most definitely sounds actually fucking bored with the words she's saying. So, um, like, yah, we know this is shit, yah, and completely cheese on toast, but, like, hey, we've got to do it, right, so we do it, but we're really, like, yah, subversive about it, and make it obvious, yah, that we know it's, like, complete shit.
So then you get into the actual, you know, content, and what is it? It's another one of those, excuse me, *emoji yawn*, dark dystopian visions of, ya know, how horrible the world might be if the horrible world we live in got a little bit worse than it is now, as if that were even possible. So it's an all-urban, high-rise, "fast times" future in which knowledge of the world as it used to be ("Slow times") has been deliberately forgotten in order to keep the population anaesthetised and compliant.
Honestly, the doublethink going on here. (Talking of dystopias.) Because the marketing monkeys are all about "fast times" aren't they? With their unironic rebranding of the slow times "Radio" as "Sounds", and the insistence of repeating the anodyne, meaningless, marketing message at the beginning and end of every fucking programme. And then you're trying to sell me on a terrifying future vision of dystopian Britain where people have their minds wiped if they display curiosity? All the while ignoring the real threat we face, which is that if there are no rain forests left, there are no people to left to live in an urban dystopia.
And behind all this, behind all this wank, is the true commitment of the BBC to this kind of youth marketing. It's a box-ticker, sure enough. Because the edgy dystopian drama has a cast of precisely two. And all the other characters are merely referred to using reported speech. So you've got a little bit of sound mixing going on, and two voices telling a story. And then the whole lot gets padded out with explainers because – and you may have to back up here, possibly go up into orbit so you can see the size of it from space – the contempt for the target audience is so huge that they feel the need to offer a commentary after every episode because they don't think we have the intelligence to understand what's going on.
An absolute triumph. You can hear them, in the future, when the licence fee is being abolished: "Well, we tried."

It is believed that a young shepherd first noticed the strange behaviour of his goats after they had consumed the berries and seeds of a particular tree. Curious, he ingested some himself. It wasn't long before the naturally stimulating drink of coffee spread across the globe, and is now among the most consumed on the planet.
Alcohol has its roots in medicinal practice and fragrances. Juniper and herb-infused spirits were seen as a cure-all, offering relief for any number of ailments, whilst its heady aroma pleased many a soul throughout the ages.
As the Black Plague decimated the population of E urope in the 14th century, strange figures wearing ghoulish masks appeared to help the sick. Their masks had protruding noses, causing many to liken them to ducks, and they earned their name 'Quack Doctors'. These long noses were not for show, they were filled with Juniper, a powerful berry that mysteriously seemed to wade o the infectious disease.
Strangers arrive over the horizon, bringing with them unknown spices, textiles, sounds, smells and beliefs. They seek to trade and to discover. They bring gold and silver. They bring opportunity. They bring knowledge. They want what you have.
Gin soon found its spiritual home in the motherland of the British Empire where spices, sugars and teas all combined in one bustling capital city. The spoils of world trade came together, where East met West, and nowhere was this more represented than in the delicious elixir that we know today as gin.
Thanks to the Empire, gin spread to every corner of the globe, and became assimilated into local cultures, cuisine and daily life. One such example was the colonial sling of the East. The spices of each locality were brought to life and celebrated in their own gins, offering a new way of consuming what nature offers unto us.
The consumption of gin has never been restricted to evening pastimes. The alcohol is but a vehicle for fragrance and flavour and can be enjoyed, in moderation, at anytime of the day. Historically, an early morning drink would help one rise to the challenge of the day . Some things never change.
The festival in honour of the Roman Goddess Flora symbolises the rejuvenation of the cycle of life, drinking and flowers. Her spirit is best expressed through the amalgamation of fragrances and drinking, beauty and delight.
In the days of illicit distilling, the presence of a TomCat, etched, sculpted or alive would signal to any wanton imbiber the presence of a covert drinking den or still. The appeal of the J uniper Elixir defied laws, taxes and punishments as the thirsty continued to seek out the cat and drink to be merry.
For centuries, alchemists conducted innumerable experiments in an attempt to harness the power of botanicals , particularly Juniper. They sought to conjure up its secret life-giving properties, in the search for eternal youth, health and happiness.

This is one of my favourite performances of Geek, both Jimmy and Billy show their worth in this performance while D'Arcy and Jame's seem to struggle at times it truly showed the winning formula that made the original Pumpkins a feast for the eyes and ears during this period.
Yet again another video showing the Pumpkins at their peak during the mid-90's.
This performance shatters me every time and I imagine for those there it would of left them shacking for weeks by the power and passion produced by Billy and Co.

Science knows no country
By In the Loop
As we all know, the Mayo brothers said some pretty forward-thinking things about medicine and patient care. One of their snappier sayings, and one that happens to fit nicely with this story, is: "Science knows no country." It's something William J. Mayo, M.D., is rumored to have said back in 1916 while talking about his family's belief that medicine is a "transcendent profession" not limited by things like geography or culture. "Good health," they believed, "is an ideal shared by all people." People like Thomas Howell Jr., M.D., of Mayo Clinic Health System in Faribault, who recently spent 10 days in Jalapa, Nicaragua, helping the local community maintain its health by providing medical services and education.
This wasn't Dr. Howell's first time in Jalapa, according to Catherine Roberts, a public affairs specialist in Faribault who penned a short piece on Dr. Howell's trip for the Faribault Daily News. The first trip came in 1999, Roberts writes, when Dr. Howell traveled there as part of the Interfaith Service to Latin America (ISLA), a "nongovernmental organization that partners with Latin American communities" for "health care, education and construction efforts." On his most recent trip, he was accompanied by his daughter, Katy, and a few of her medical school classmates from the University of Minnesota- Duluth. "I had visited Jalapa with ISLA in 1999 and had been looking for an opportunity to go back," Dr. Howell says. "It just happened to work out that the University of Minnesota was sending a small group of medical students there, and my daughter happened to be one of them. It was a great opportunity."
Dr. Howell says his daughter and her classmates lent their hands and medical know-how to workers at the local clinic in Jalapa, and helped educate workers at a local tobacco factory about ways to stay healthy. "They also did diabetic education in the community and sexually transmitted disease education in the schools," he says. And they had an opportunity "to visit with local public health workers around Dengue fever control efforts in the community."
Dr. Howell spent much of his time doing outpatient procedures, and routine gynecological exams and testing. "He also met with the local Nicaraguan OB-GYN and clinic administration staff to learn more about their needs and those of the Jalapa community," Roberts writes. It was just the kind of integrated, personalized medical assistance and care communities like Jalapa often need, but don't always get, Dr. Howell says. "Many aid organizations swoop in, put Band-Aids on everything, and leave," he says. "But I think we need a sustainable system that does a better job of figuring out exactly what these communities need instead of bringing in things they don't need, want or can't use."
That idea lines up nicely with the guiding principles of Mayo Clinic Abroad, which is all about offering "an integrated and coordinated humanitarian effort around the world." And it's work Dr. Howell says he's very much looking forward to continuing through Mayo Clinic Abroad.

The auctions of Star Wars
Star Wars memorabilia auctions have not slowed down, especially in the wake of an official announcement from Lucas and Disney that there will be yet another three films.
The prices haven't gone down either, and if you want an original T.I.E.-Fighter model, or original action figures, you better step up to the plate with some big bucks.
As we recently reported here on TG, the original 65mm camera that shot Star Wars went for $625,000, an original Lightsaber sold for $212,141, and an original T.I.E. fighter model went for $170,000. Meanwhile, a recent auction on Ebay for a mostly complete collection of action figures sold on Ebay for $11,500.
And on the weekend of December 15, there was another Hollywood auction with 8 major Star Wars items up for auction, including Luke's stunt Lightsaber (which was estimated to sell for $30-50,000), a Rebel Alliance helmet, Scout Trooper Blasters, and a latex Yoda head.
Giant Freakin' Robot also reported on a fan in Texas who was selling his collection via Craig's List, where the collector said he began accumulating items in 1977, and that "everything has been in climate controlled for the last 2 years." (The whole collection was appraised at $120,000).
So with the new Star Wars trilogy scheduled to launch in 2015, Entertainment Weekly proposed an interesting question that I'm sure has gone through the mind of a lot of Star Wars fans. Will the memorabilia get more expensive from here on out? After all, the prices are already pretty nuts, but if you have to have it, you have to have it…
As one longtime collector told EW, the buzz among fans is they're excited about the new movies, and that "a lot of collectors see the acquisition as assurance that the Star Wars property will live a long, healthy life, which by extension will keep the rarer and more sought-after-pieces in their collections in demand…There will be a constant stream of new fans and collectors entering the market as soon as nostalgia, and some disposable income."
With or without new Star Wars films, there's no doubt the legend of the series will continue for a long time. As another source told EW, the original Star Wars items will of course always be the most valuable. The fact that they're also more rare than the more recent items means the value will go up because the older pieces aren't readily available.
EW also tells us that in China and Japan, the market for Star Wars collectibles has gone up because as one source put it, "They are a bit more fanatical about items than in the States, and they're willing to pay a lot more."
And in many cases with Star Wars fans, buying the memorabilia is an "emotional purchase, not a financial investment." Still, with so many people wondering where to put away their money for the future, maybe Star Wars will provide some good dividends in terrible financial times.

This the horizontal arm that holds the tensioner post. A few years after introducing the ball winder we decided to allow the post to move closer to the spindle in order to prevent the yarn from going over or under the ball of yarn. We then introduced this arm which has a slot in it which allows the post to be adjusted in terms of its proximity to the spindle. Some users already owned the post which had a threaded insert in it which used a large black knob to tighten the post. Others needed a new post which could be used with the Knob and the arm. So this section allows the user to get exactly what they need regardless of what vintage ball winder they own.
Original ball winders used a post which was screwed into an arm which had no adjustment at all. These did not have the large black knob. These users need the entire Tensioner Post Upgrade Kit.
The next generation of users had the Black knob but there was no Slot in the arm so it could only be used in one position. These users only need a need arm.
If you just need the post, please select the Post only which is a separate line item.
Note - users of the Small Diameter Spindle or the Cone Winder MUST use the adjustable arm and post. The SDS is more susceptible to yarn issues if the post is not moved as close as possible toward the spindle and this is the ONLY way to accomplish that.

Do the powers that be have any interest in getting an R6V2 team together? I would start recruiting for it asap. I used to play it A LOT so I still have a few buddies that could help start the team up.
Dude, I will toally spearhead the offensive on that. I have wanted an opK team for this since pre-merger days. I played with a clan where we ended up like 76th on gb out of 500.
wait, for rainbow or for mw2?
HAHHAHAH nice! lol it's such an awesome game, It's the gold standard for the unreal engine, plus the ranks are awesome and it introduced a fully customiazble character, so a clan could have a certain look like on shoulder pad instead of two or something like that.
Im down , love R6V2!! Got it for 360 , but like everyone says, u can get it for a buck and quarter now!!

Saddlewood has been a dream-come-true for girls who love horses. In 1965 our parents purchased 400 rolling acres in the beautiful Bethany Hills. They founded Saddlewood Riding Camp in 1968 with only ten horses and a handful of campers. Fifty years later, Saddlewood welcomes horse crazy campers from all over Canada, the United States and the rest of the world. Our small group of horses has grown into a herd of over 100 well-schooled horses and ponies who call Saddlewood home. Saddlewood is family owned and operated.
Over 120 well-schooled horses and ponies call Saddlewood home and campers return year after year to ride and care for their favourite four-legged friends. Horses are stabled in one of three barns containing box stalls and separate tack rooms. Each box stall is labeled with the horse's name and each horse has its own saddle and bridle.
It's all about the riding! When campers arrive at Saddlewood they participate in a short riding evaluation. Along with this evaluation and the questionnaire filled out by campers before their arrival, all campers are put in one of up to fourteen riding groups according to ability and interest.
There's plenty to keep you busy at Saddlewood! The archery programme at Saddlewood follows the programme set out by the 'Ontario Association of Archers'. This is a step-by-step progression through a colour-coded system of levels. At all times, campers are instructed in safety precautions as well as skill development.
Arts & crafts are very popular at Saddlewood. From bracelet making to tie-dyeing, plaster of paris and woodworking, campers learn new, valuable skills.
Our afternoon sports programme features soccer games, beach volleyball (on our lush green-grass beach), tennis, golf, basketball, field sports and other activities designed to keep our campers healthy and active even when they are not riding.


After about 45 minutes in the lap pool, they went to the locker room. Suddenly, Julie felt like she had the wind knocked out of her. Then 37 and having run a marathon just two months before, she couldn't understand what was happening.
Those words set off alarm bells in Hannah's head.
Ten years before, she had overheard two women talking about how most people don't know that shortness of breath is one of the first signs of a heart attack in women. She distinctly remembers knowing that she would need that information one day.
For Julie, that someday was now.
She indeed was having a heart attack. Her left anterior descending artery was 100 percent blocked and another artery was 90 percent blocked with blood clots.
Julie learned of this from an emergency room nurse as she was being taken to the cardiac catheterization lab to have stents inserted to open her blocked arteries.
The type of heart attack Julie had is sometimes called a "widow maker" because of the low rate of survival. Because of her fitness and youth, and because of Hannah's quick response, Julie was able to go home the next day with just a bandage. She had no residual heart damage.
"I truly feel like a walking miracle and am thankful to be here," Julie said.
Despite many tests, the doctors were puzzled about why Julie had a heart attack in November 2010.
She has no family history of heart disease, exercises regularly, eats healthy and had low cholesterol and normal blood pressure. Although further tests uncovered an over-clotting disorder involving a protein called Factor V, doctors don't believe this caused the heart attack because of the location of her troublesome clots.
As the months passed, Julie dealt with fear and worry, wondering if she would have another attack. Her remedy for this agony?
"I actually gave up fear for Lent that year," she said.
Ultimately, Julie got back to running and got back in the water. She even completed the triathlon she was training for at the time of her heart attack.
With a new perspective on life, Julie and her husband Wade decided to take a big chance.
Julie gave up being a stay-at-home mom and substitute teacher, and Wade left a corporate job that kept him on the road half of the time, to open their own running store, Fleet Feet Sports in Spokane, Washington.
Julie finds joy in helping people on their fitness journey and loves the community that has been created through the store's different training groups. They have programs from walking to marathon training.

Julie is quite healthy now. She takes an aspirin each day because of her history and the clotting disorder, and sees her cardiologist for an annual check-up and blood work. Her successful recovery prompted her to embrace the mission of the American Heart Association.
She has been involved with the Spokane Heart Walk since her heart attack, and Fleet Feet Sports even offers a 5K Heart Run in conjunction with the Heart Walk. This year, Julie spoke to 600 people at the Spokane Go Red for Women Luncheon.
"Even though I was nervous, I felt comfortable knowing it was going to help others and maybe even save lives," she said.
Julie (right) and Pat White, one of her training partners, finishing a marathon.
Julie, I am 45 years old and a avid and competitive triathlete and like you I had a heart attack this summer. I was at mile 52 of the bike in Ironman Boulder. It sounds like similar circumstances as your heart attack. Luckily I recognized something was very wrong and flagged down medical help on the race course. I received a stent in my LAD and did not have any heart damage. Also like you, I have not gotten any answers from doctors as to why this happened to someone in top physical fitness and with NO cardiac risk factors.
I would love to swap stories sometime and hear about how you moved on from your heart attack. While I am back training I am struggling to feel confident that the training I love is not somehow bad for me.
I too am a lifelong runner and had a 100 percent blocked LAD at age 59. I knew something was really wrong. My cardiologist said that my running lifestyle and the speed with which I got to the local hospital to get two stents put in saved me. My cholesterol had been about 200, but that did not alarm my general practitioner. I haven't done a half-marathon since my heart attack. 5K races are hard enough.I wonder how many runners go through this. One question in my mind is this: is there something about my exercise regimen that helped bring this on? How can other people who might have the widow maker avoid it? If there were a big enough database of people who have survived, that might tell us something significant.


Birds benefit from flocking together—even when they're not of a feather. According to a new study in The Auk: Ornithological Advances, China's endangered Crested Ibises benefit from joining forces with other, more visually-oriented bird species while searching for food.
Joining mixed-species flocks can reduce birds' risk of predation while boosting their foraging opportunities, but it can also expose them to competition and disease, and little research has been done on what this means for birds such as ibises that rely on their sense of touch to find food. Yuanxing Ye and Changqing Ding of the Beijing Forestry University and their colleagues studied the behavior of Crested Ibises foraging with and without Little Egrets in central China's Shaanxi Province, recording the birds' behavior with a digital video camera to determine whether they picked up on social cues from the other species. They found that ibises in mixed-species flocks became alert to threats sooner, suggesting they felt less at risk when mingling with the more visually-oriented egrets.
Crested Ibises were once believed to be extinct in the wild, until seven birds were discovered in a remote area of China in 1981. Ye and his colleagues believe this new information about their foraging behavior could benefit ibis conservation. "Developing habitat conditions that favor mixed-species flocks may reduce the perception of risk by ibises due to the early warning effects of egrets, particularly in habitats with high levels of predation or disturbance," according to Ye.
What makes a tactile forager join mixed-species flocks? A case study with the endangered Crested Ibis (Nipponia nippon) is available at http://americanornithologypubs.org/doi/full/10.1642/AUK-16-191.1.

The government is in the process of rewriting regulations so that private citizens and law enforcement agencies can fly drones willy-nilly through the skies. The proposition has a lot of people very nervous that the government will be increasingly monitoring us from above. Turns out they've probably been doing it already.
New documents obtained by CBS Los Angeles reveal that under current regulations, it is possible for Air Force drones to gather information on American soil without a warrant. Technically, Air Force drones aren't allowed to perform surveillance in US airspace under most circumstances. (They can only be used to fight back against foreign intelligence operations, the war on drugs, and for counter-terrorism.) However, if in the process of conducting other missions an Air Force drone happens to capture information, it's not immediately tossed out.
What has critics alarmed is that data collected by drones accidentally, under the guidelines, can be kept by the military up to three months before being purged and can also be turned over to "another Department of Defense or government agency to whose function it pertains."

Q: Can GWT co-exist with other libraries? I have an application that uses GWT. GWT doesn't support my ability to upgrade my BI charts. Can GWT co-exist with other libraries so that I do not have to rip out all of GWT at once and I can continue to release versions of my software on a regular basis?

A: Yes GWT co-exists with javascript libraries well.  Your java code can call javascript code in the library using JsInterop or the deprecated JSNI.
Generally you can also mix DOM elements generated by the javascipt library with GWT Widgets.

Ted Lewin, 1994 Caldecott Honor Medal winner, was, in his earlier years, on the pro wrestling tour.
Excellent book on the Lewin brothers, written and illustrated by Ted Lewin, the artist of the family. While clearly aimed at a middle school audience, it is still a very straightforward, and intelligently written wrestling autobiography. Ted details his experiences, first as a wrestling fan, and then as a young wrestler, working his way through art school in the 1950s. His art instruction definitely paid off as the sketches and paintings of various wrestlers are outstanding.
This book was really good because it shows how he went through a life of a pro wrestler. I would recommend this book to kids that have a dream and want to learn how to get through life of sports.
Intended for young adult readers, this is a light but well-written and engaging insider's account of professional wrestling from an era when it was much closer to its carnival sideshow roots.
