Top 7 Hollywood movies shot in Miami
The film industry has had a crush on the tropics since the 1920s. It has been since 1960 that everyone has fallen in love with Miami because of the country's charming, bottlenose-dolphin star "Flipper", who swam happily from the waters off the Florida coast in a family-friendly series. However, this "Miami Vice" did not air until Lens began to show less of a pleasant view of Miami filled with glitz, glam, fast cars, and seedy underbelly, which sparked Hollywood interest. If you want to know about the more details of Miami then visit the Spirit Airlines Reservations. With the blockbuster success of the action franchise Miami based films, the city has served as a destination for Hollywood films when films such as "Scarface", "True Lies" and "Fast and Furious" were shot here. He strengthened his reputation and today he is known for Hollywood film.
Most parts of this series were shot at Long Beach, California. It simply means that the series has to be in Miami. Many episodes of this movie were also shot in Magic City. In fact, the pilot opens with Dexter Movies and cruising on Ocean Drive and checking out the heart of South Beach and its spectacular art deco. As the corpses begin to pile up and a serial killer on the loose, things become more convoluted when the body of a prostitute is found at the Seven Seas Motel on Biscay Boulevard. For call girls to a psychopath, the old Motel PG13 is the perfect place for television horror.
It all begins in Fontainebleau when James Bond (Sean Connery) finds Auric Goldfinger (Gert Frobe) tricked into cards. The filmmakers wanted a great place, so they filmed in Miami for the first instalment of the Bond franchise, no better place for this film. Which is a better place than the luxurious and historic Fontainebleau, which is considered one of the most luxurious resorts in Miami Beach? You will find it situated between the oldest condos of the millionaire's row and the old money mansion. The praise for this film is less. Designed by Morris Lapidus in 1954, it is one of the architect's best achievements and makes him happy because Fontenblue has been featured in so many films, being a film star. So choose a posh place in the bar for a martini.
Alfred Hitchcock's 1946 mystery thriller is shot in the infamous film Miami. Filmmakers filmed most of it on a set in Hollywood. For this movie thrill, get ready for another Hollywood movie. The film is modeled after the historic ocean drive with palm trees under the sun and art deco sets overlooking the tropical zone, and buzzing with their success of Spellbound (1945), by film star Dream Team Carrie Grant and Ingrid Bergman Did not expect romance with the help of a palm tree, lots of martinis, and an excellent classic wardrobe under the Miami Beach sun. Mana magic happens in a Hollywood studio, but every scene in Miami has magic in every scene that makes you feel better.
The film is made over policemen when he goes to a convention in Reno 911 at the Rag-Tag Reno Police Department Miami. This threat of bio-weapons in Miami surprises the Miami Police Force. When most things go wrong, the Miami Police now relies on Lieutenant Dangal (Thomas Lennon) and the gang to keep the city safe. Everyone asks, is there a possibility of something going wrong? Follow the crew as they head to all the South Beach hotspots such as Lummus Park from Ocean Drive where they spot Terry (Nick Swardson) being indecent again. Then, Dangal and Officer Trudy (Carey Kenny) run into some mishaps in the bedroom at the shabby International Inn on Normandy Drive. Between the all-night party and the unfortunate tattoos, it's back to serious police work at the Miami Beach Police Department on Washington Avenue. For the fallen in Reno PD, Miami feels right at home.
In this movie, you will get to see the very best things as two worlds collide, in a wonderful clash of cultures, when a young couple is in love getting engaged in the classic screwball comedy Birdcage (1996). Starring America's favourite comedy duo Nathan Lane and Robin Williams in this film, the story revolves around a fiery cabaret queen (Nathan Lane) who tries to pass as a right-wing housewife to meet new in-laws. is. Disaster and comedy feel like a recipe for gold. Also, there is a stop at Lincoln Road Farmers Market which still takes place every Sunday afternoon. Then it is time for a big performance at the Birdcage Club on Ocean Drive. The club stands for the Carlile Hotel, the famous art deco marvel in the middle of South Beach.
The film was a 1980s classic comedy Caddyshack and was primarily shot at plantations and golf resorts in Ft. Lauderdale, but the hilarious boating scene with Rodney Dangerfield was filmed at a yacht club in Biscayne Bay. While an old man (Ted Knight) shows off his modest sailboat, Dangerfield arrives in a huge yacht from the Rainmaker Causeway near the Rusty Pelican restaurant. It starts with some boat jokes before it reveals the engine and explosions of the marina at full speed. He may have destroyed his small boat, but was scratched at Dangerfield's anchor. That man's nerve. Some people are not in heaven.
Michael Bay's campy, over-the-top action film Pain and Gain is actually based on the true story of the Sun Jim Gang. The entire film is based on his murder, theft, and general Miami mayhem. In the Hollywood version, it's Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson wreaking havoc on their exclusive brand in the tropical city. You can get the best knowledge by the Spirit Airlines Customer Service. The first stop is Biscayne Boulevard, outside a topless Latina mural by local artist Krave, a place where leader Daniel Lugo (Wahlberg) makes his next move. Then, after his big score, Johnson rolls for Fontainebleau, the historic hotel on Collins in Millionaire Row. With his luxury ride, tons of dirty money, and smoking hot arm candy, he is living in Sapna, South Beach style.

LIVKOM – Girafsprog – Nonviolent Communication – a Communication Tool to support the Adaptive Capacity of Organisations?
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) has the potential to have a positive effect on all communication dynamics tested. An emphasis on listening to others and expressing oneself honestly in a concise language brings greater trust, greater understanding and also progress in work related and relational issues. Specifically, by focusing on individual's feelings and needs, conversations can be held in new ways and on topics that would not have been communicated before. Organisations are cautioned to understand that it takes time and practice for individuals to become familiar with NVC.
Adaptive Capacity Adaptive capacity (AC) is a concept to describe the resilience of 'social systems' – whether a team, an organisation, a city and so on – and it is the framework through which we sought to understand NVC's potential overall significance. The more AC the more a system can deal with change and be resilient. Change affecting organisations can be sudden or predictable and more or less severe. It can come from a change in the external market conditions, a conflict within a team, a change of organisational policy, a change of team-members, etc. Adaptive Capacity is supported by appropriately developing and using 5 elements: Learning, Trust, Diversity, Common meaning and Self-organization (for more information see Missimer et al. (2017)).

John of Nikiû
(Redirected from John of Nikiu)
John of Nikiû (fl. 680-690) was an Egyptian Coptic bishop of Nikiû (Pashati) (now Zawyat Razin) in the Nile Delta and general administrator of the monasteries of Upper Egypt in 696. He is the author of a Chronicle extending from Adam to the end of the Muslim conquest of Egypt. John of Nikiû's Chronicle contains important historical details otherwise unknown.
2 Chronicle
Life[edit]
According to the History of the Patriarchs by Severus, Bishop of Al-Ashmunyn (Heliopolis), John of Nikiû lived under the Patriarchs John III, Isaac, and Simeon. But when John of Nikiû disciplined a monk guilty of some moral offense so severely that the monk died ten days later, the Patriarch Simeon removed John from his office.
Chronicle[edit]
The original editor of this text, Zotenberg, argued that John of Nikiû's Chronicle was originally written mostly in Greek, theorizing that some of the name forms indicate that John wrote the sections concerning Egypt in Coptic. Scholarly opinion has shifted, however, to the belief that this chronicle was originally written in Coptic.[1] The work survives only in a Ge'ez translation.[2] made in 1602 of an Arabic translation of the original. Sections of the text are obviously corrupted with accidental omissions. Most notably, a passage covering thirty years (from 610 to 640) is missing.
John's view of the earliest periods of history is informed by sources such as Sextus Julius Africanus and John Malalas. The Chronicle is most noteworthy for its passages dealing with the early 7th century. John covers in detail the revolt of the Thracian armies in 602 and the subsequent overthrow of the Emperor Maurice by the usurper Phocas. His account adds considerably to our knowledge of the reign of Phocas and particularly to the successful revolt against him begun at Carthage by Heraclius. Unfortunately, the section dealing with the climactic Persian wars waged by Heraclius is not extant.
Perhaps the most important section of John's Chronicle is that which deals with the invasion and conquest of Egypt by the Muslim armies of Amr ibn al-Aas. Though probably not an eyewitness, John was most likely of the generation immediately following the conquest, and the Chronicle provides the only near-contemporary account. John describes the major events of Amr's campaign, such as the taking of the Roman fortress at Babylon and the capture of Alexandria. Though narrative details are often vivid, timeline is occasionally confusing.
John records Muslim atrocities committed against Copts and the prohibitive new taxes placed on the native population. In some cases, the taxes were so burdensome that families were forced to sell their children into slavery. John also admonishes Egyptians who abandoned Christianity in favor of Islam.
Writing from a miaphysite point of view — at odds with the diophysite Christology affirmed at the Council of Chalcedon in 451 — John describes the Islamic invasion of his homeland as divine punishment for the Chalcedonian beliefs which held sway in the Byzantine Empire. At the close of his Chronicle, John describes the despair felt by the conquered Alexandrians, writing: "None could recount the mourning and lamentation which took place in that city....And they had none to help them, and God destroyed their hopes and delivered the Christians into the hands of their enemies." However, the account ends on a note of hope and faith: "But the strong beneficence of God will put to shame those who grieve us, and He will make His love for man to triumph over our sins, and bring to naught the evil purposes of those who afflict us, who would not that the King of Kings and Lord of Lords should reign over them, (even) Jesus Christ our true God. As for those wicked slaves, He will destroy them in evil fashion: as saith the holy Gospel: 'As for Mine enemies who would not that I should reign over them, bring them unto Me.'"

PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE — Farmers blocked the Portage Diversion on Monday to protest the government's plan to flood farmland to save Winnipeg.
They're also angry about government delays in handing out compensation for the 2011 flood.
About 50 farmers blocked the diversion channel around 11 a.m. with combines and other farm equipment, believed to be the worst seen on the Assiniboine River in a century.
A court injunction was issued and the farmers left at 10:30 p.m. They also removed the farm machinery that had been placed inside the diversion channel.
The diversion was then opened at 11 p.m.
"The operation of the Portage Diversion began at 11 p.m. to protect the rural muncipalities of Headingley, St. Francois Xavier, Portage la Prairie and Cartier from the imminent threat of significant ice-jam related flooding," the province said in a release. An update on flood conditions will be provided Tuesday morning.
Called to remove protesters
Just before 2 p.m., Mounties and government officials arrived at the scene to ask protesters to remove the equipment so they could run water through it.
The farmers claimed they didn't have keys to the pieces of equipment, as the owners were not present at that time.
Steve Ashton, the minister responsible for Manitoba's Emergency Measures Organization, said the demonstrators' actions were illegal and delayed the Portage Diversion's operations by four critical hours.
"By not operating the Portage Diversion, we put communities in the Assiniboine Valley at risk," said Ashton.
Ashton said increased flows on the Assiniboine River east of Portage la Prairie have raised imminent ice-jam risks, especially in the municipalities of Cartier, St. Francois Xavier and Headingley.
The province indicated farm equipment left at the site was not removed but individuals had left by around 2:45 p.m. and the structure would operate even with that machinery in place.
"To say irresponsible is an understatement for people who would dump that kind of equipment in and leave. They didn't even have the decency to accept responsibility for what they did," said Ashton.
Ashton said the RCMP were contacted about the diversion but no arrests had been made by late Monday afternoon.
The minister stressed running the diversion is routine and occurs every two years, if not annually.
Meanwhile, the gates to the Red River Floodway were set to be raised Monday.
The province announced Monday morning that the gates would be raised at 6 p.m. after levels upstream rose 6.6 feet in only 24 hours. Provincial officials expect those levels to continue to rise at a similar rate Tuesday due to increasing flows from tributaries.
The level at James Avenue in Winnipeg was 14.2 feet as of 8 a.m. Monday. Officials said river levels could reach 16.5 to 17.5 feet by Tuesday morning. By comparison, the Red River crested at 24.5 feet at James Avenue during the 1997 Flood of the Century.

No deal on well drilling, so no deal on capital budget
/ July 19, 2017
The dome of the state Capitol Building.
The University of Washington lost out on more than $130 million in state construction money Wednesday due to legislative Democrats and Republicans being unable to resolve an unrelated water rights dispute.
The capital budget also includes more than $900 million for school construction projects and another $100 million for mental health facilities.
Legislative bargaining went south Wednesday afternoon as the Legislature prepared to end its third special session of the year on Thursday. Unless there's some last-minute reversal or Gov. Jay Inslee calls a new session, perhaps later in the year, projects may be put on long-term hold or only have partial funding, such as from local governments.
On one side are talks on how to deal with a 2016 Washington Supreme Court decision — the so-called Hirst ruling— that blocks landowners from digging new wells without proving they won't threaten nearby stream levels needed for fish. The ruling has essentially halted construction of homes and businesses in many rural areas.
After six months of talks to find a compromise measure that would help landowners and rural communities without harming fish, both political parties called it quits Wednesday afternoon.
On the other side, the GOP Senate caucus said it would not pass a $4 billion capital budget — both sides agreed on actual projects and appropriations — without a permanent solution to the rural-wells problem. Senate Republicans are sticking to that stance, said Sen. Jim Honeyford, R-Sunnyside and chair of the Senate Capital Budget Committee.
"If we're not holding up the capital budget, there will be no Hirst solution," he said Wednesday.
The House Democrats proposed a short-term compromise to put a two-year delay on enforcing the Hirst ruling while the two sides work more on a final solution — meaning wells could be dug regardless of the stream implications during those two years. The GOP rejected that offer. "That just kicks the can down the road. We need a permanent solution," Honeyford said.
Gov. Jay Inslee said in a press release: "At this point, a 24-month delay is the best approach to give the legislature time to evaluate a permanent fix while giving suffering property owners immediate relief.
This unresolved impasse has a couple potential political blowbacks for Republicans. One is that Republican legislative districts would lose out on construction money as much as the Democratic districts.
Secondly, there is a November special election for a senator to permanently replace the late Sen. Andy Hill, R-Redmond, in the 45th District. Whichever side wins that election will have a 25-24 majority in the Senate. If the Democrats win in the 45th, that would mean control of the House, Senate and governor's office — and the Senate GOP wouldn't have the clout to renew the Hirst negotiations.
Still, Republicans have been straightforward about their view of the need for a solution to the wells question before they release the capital budget.
A major sticking point in the final talks was that the Democrats wanted tribes or the state Ecology Department to have the power to veto any well-digging project if formal objections are raised. "Otherwise, you could put in new wells without a limiting mechanism. … There has to be some accountability," said Rep. Derek Stanford, D-Bothell, one of the Democratic leaders on this topic. Inslee supported this stance.
That was a deal-breaker for Republicans. The GOP proposal was if objections were formally raised to Ecology, the state could cut off any state money to the project, but would not be allowed to veto it. As a sweetener, Republican offered to increase well-digging permit fees or allocate another $10 million for fish mitigation work.
The state capital budget contains a long list of appropriations for general state-bolstered construction and maintenance work around Washington, outside the transportation sector. The transportation budget was already approved.
For Seattle, the University of Washington money included $24 million for upgrades at the Burke Museum. Several other Seattle construction projects, from classical music venues to a Filipino community center, also face the loss of state money. Other lost appropriations include $48 million for Puget Sound restoration projects.

Ken, it seems the Labour MPs disagree with you

Those are the same MPs who never accepted Corbyn as leader in the first place and have refused ever to treat him with any respect at all. They are pushing for Labour to go all-out Remain in order to ensure that Labour loses the next election, so they can force Corbyn out as leader and then rig the leadership ballot to exclude any non-Blairite candidates. That's what everything the anti-Corbynites have done for the last four years has been about.
How many Labour MP's fit into this category?

"Johnson's deal accepts all EU constraints on public procurement and state aid, while adding a 'Free Trade Agreement'. It could block radical policies for decades. Johnson's deal with the EU is worse than May's and it has nothing to do with Lexit. But the answer to Johnson should not be to Remain in the restrictive and undemocratic EU. It should be LEFT BREXIT that would make radical policies possible."
(note: that question was a quote from JKR. I'm not sure why it's appearing like it's part of my post).
You'd have to assume the majority of the anti-Corbynites, virtually all of whom are only in their seats because Kinnock or Blair imposed them as parliamentary candidates against the will of their constituency parties, would fit in that category. It's virtually impossible to be an anti-Corbyn MP without being at least somewhat corrupt and cynical. The massive number of former Blairite MPs and cabinet ministers who have ended up in high-paying, often no-show corporate positions or commanding absurdly large fees on the ruling-class speaking circuit clearly bears this out.
I really hope this huge schism within Labour doesn't hand power to the Conservatives in the upcoming election.

"Very useful briefer on the Brexit deal. Makes clear that as predicted BJ has basically adopted the full NI backstop offered by the EU in 2018, but will activate it immediately (hence not technically a 'backstop'). More remarkable is all the detail yet to be worked out..."
These last two threads support two points I've been trying to make:
1) The priority should not be on the fight to get a second referendum before the election, because even if it was possible to get a second referendum through this parliament-and the results of all previous parliamentary votes on the issue prove it isn't-it's far from clear that Remain would prevail in a second referendum, so having a second referendum would in all likelihood be a waste of time;
2) What matters is stopping Boris from getting what he wants-a goal that IS achievable if the majority of Labour MPs abandon their obsession with trying to destroy their party's current leader, and their obsession with trying to force said leader into taking a stand on Brexit they know would destroy Labour's chances of beating the Tories at the next general election, and focus instead on what they should be focused on; making sure Boris' Brexit proposal doesn't pass.
"It is better for the UK to leave the EU with no deal than for the UK to accept a bad deal from the EU:' Agree: 45%, Disagree 27%. 75% of Leave voters agree, as do 22% of Remain voters."

Bojo's new EU treaty is May's deal 2.0 with lipstick on the pig. Pound rises on the news - big capital approves.
Now that there is a specific Brexit plan it should be put to a referendum where people actually know what they're voting for.
It may very well happen. The consistent pattern observed elsewhere is for EU power players to repeat their enabling processes until power is achieved and confirmed. Collaborationist politicians left and right are always available as is msm to sell and cheerlead to ultimate surrender and neoliberal victory. I expect the UK will be true to the same template.

Lapavitsas: Boris' Deal is No Left Exit
https://tribunemag.co.uk/2019/10/boris-deal-is-no-left-exit
"...From the perspective of the left the worst mistake would be to reject Johnson's deal, only to campaign foursquare for Remain. If the Labour Party fell into this trap, it would be decisively isolated from broad swathes of its working class base, while putting an end to the prospect of socialist policies.
Rather, the left of the Labour Party ought to propose radical amendments to Johnson's deal, including eliminating the role of the European Court, scrapping the neoliberal dreams of Johnson's Free Trade Agreement, and clear terms allowing for industrial policy. There can [be] no socialist radicalism today within the European Union. Even at this late hour, that message ought to be stated loud and clear."
John Pilger: Julian Assange's Extradition Case is A SHOW TRIAL (and vid)
https://www.rt.com/shows/going-underground/471597-john-pilger-assange-ex...
"On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to legendary journalist and filmmaker John Pilger about Julian Assange's latest extradition hearing on Monday, which he attended. He discusses how Assange appeared at the trial, the bias of the judge against the journalist, the lack of mainstream media coverage of his persecution, his health and condition in Belmarsh Prison, CIA spying on the WikiLeaks founder, and more!
Next we speak to Chris Williamson MP about Assange's extradition hearing, his motion in the House of Commons to condemn his treatment, why his persecution is of international importance, the silence of mainstream media on Julian Assange, the lack of vocal outrage from Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Front Bench over Assange's treatment, and more!"
Surely you must agree with this, Ken?
Ask yourself, would the Lib Dems be enjoying their current poll revival if Labour were led by someone instantly and intuitively identifiable as a conviction remainer? Or would remain voters feel no need to decamp to Jo Swinson in that scenario, happily rallying behind Labour instead? To be concise, Johnson yearns for an election because the remain vote is divided – and that is because millions of remainers have looked at Corbyn's Labour and decided they need to look elsewhere.
Yet the curious thing about British politics just now is that, among Labour supporters, this is barely mentioned in public. To raise it is to bring social media ordure down upon on your head, as if it were improper or even sacrilegious to speak of such things – even though it is truly extraordinary that the party of opposition is not 20 points ahead of a government in office for nine years, so bitterly divided it has expelled 21 of its own MPs, including two former chancellors, and which has failed to deliver on its central promise. Such a government should be bracing itself for a wipeout. Instead, blessed by a record-breakingly weak opposition, it is preparing to win another term.
The diehards will say that to criticise Corbyn in this way is to side with the Tories against the poor and vulnerable. But the opposite is true. To stick with a path that makes five more years of Boris Johnson, and a hard Brexit, more likely is not to side with the poor and the vulnerable – it is to betray them.

Yes, they would, because the Brexit Party would then win every Labour Leave vote and hold those votes for the next twenty years. It's not possible to win Labour Leave votes in the Labour heartlands when you take the we-agree-to-give-up-on-socialism "conviction Remain" position.
It's not possible to put Remain over everything else and want a decent society for the working and kept-from-working poor.
Neither is it possible to be no-deal Brexit and do so.
That's why Corbyn's position, whatever you think of Corbyn, is the only sensible one
For now, since it's impossible to get a second referendum or Article 50 repeal passed in this parliament, it's enough to stop Boris' "deal".
After that, what matters is getting the damn Tories out.
But you don't care about that.
If you did, you wouldn't have spent the last four years helping viciously slander Labour's leader and helping perpetuate the despicable accusation that he's nonchalant at best about a form of bigotry he has fought all of his life.
No one who'd lead Labour as a "conviction Remainer" could possibly be a socialist or oppose austerity in any case.
Corbyn, unlike Swinson-whose support will collapse once her right-wing positions on almost all issues are exposed during the campaign-has offered the only position that can unite Labour Leave(most of the voters in the Labour heartlands) and Labour Remain(those working under the delusion that being all-out Remain is the only way to oppose xenophobia-it's not, actually, soft Brexit, which would preserve the immigration and human rights ties to the EU while freeing the UK from the unjustifiable constraints on spending taxation,and the ability to nationalize, all of which were the reasons Tony Benn opposed EU membership and all of which are the main reasons "social democratic" parties on the European mainland have totally abandoned social democracy and embraced Thatcherism, a stance which has destroyed popular support for every "social democratic" party and will continue to destroy it, as the EU leadership intended
If the EU could be made anti-austerity, it would be different.
If EU policies could ever be changed at all-they haven't on anything important since the institution was established, other than to be made more right-wing on economics and spending-it would be different.
But on economics, EU economic and spending rules are carved in stone for the rest of eternity and the only socialist position is to get out of those rules until the EU is replaced by a Europe-wide body that is not designed to present socialism from ever happening.
A Labour government can't BE a Labour government under EU rules.
And those of you who are anti-Corbynites don't care.
But go ahead with the abuse-those of you who are continuing to attack Corbyn, knowing that it's too late to change leaders before the snap election and knowing that Labour wouldn't run on a program any different than that from the Tories if anyone the PLP preferred to Corbyn was leading it. Just go ahead.
Your lot never wanted the Tories defeated...because as "Labour moderates", you never wanted Thatcherism brought to an end.
Ken, there are nineteen lies in your last two posts.
you might want to edit them
I didn't lie about anything.
Everything in the EU IS unchangeable. The fact that none of the economic constraints have been changed since the creation of the institution proves it. If if was changeable, you wouldn't keep attacking Corbyn on this issue when he has said he would prefer to stay in the EU if it COULD be changed and when you know that the position he takes-a referendum with Remain as an option once Labour is elected-and when what he said proved he wasn't a hidden Leaver. The man is actually a heartbroken Remainer-he would be conviction Remain if it was possible to be conviction Remain without being conviction "preserve the EU status quo forever".
I respect those in the party who are Remain because they believe it's the only way to oppose xenophobia-it's not-but staying in an unchangeable and permanently right-wing on economics EU means you have to give up ending austerity and reversing Thatcherism. It is that fact that is the main reason most of the Labour Right is Remain-the antisocialist anti-Corbynites(there's no such thing as a socialist anti-Corbynite) want to stay in the EU because they want to make sure that if Corbyn is elected, he would be unable to do anything to the left of Blair.
It's possible to negotiate an arrangement that keeps the human rights protections-the ONLY progressive part of the EU-without staying in the economic constraints. And Boris' no-deal Brexit is dead now with his having had to ask for an extension, so why not admit that it's time to get off Corbyn's case?
It wouldn't be a change to replace Boris with Starmer or Thornberry-whatever mildly social democratic values both of them might have would be crushed by the Blairites, and no one who identifies with professional politicians against activists, as both of them do, is still going to care about the poor. Why would anyone think otherwise? There's be no reason to celebrate a Labour "victory"-even if it was possible-if it was under a leader whose policies weren't a total repudiation of Blair's antisocialism and antidemocracy. And there wouldn't be anyone left in the party to go out and doorbell for Labour candidates if the socialists were kicked out again. It would be back to the dead zone of Ed Miliband, or maybe of his useless brother David-the one the Labour Right wanted as leader even though he had nothing to offer other than his hatred of everything the Left stands for.
The only way a leadership change could possibly work would be if the PLP was to guarantee that there'd be no moves to the right on any issue under any leader who replaced Corbyn. Labour can't be Labour anymore if it does move to the right of Corbyn on anything, so this should be a reasonable expectation, as should be the institution of full internal party democracy and Open Selection for sitting Labour MPs, with control of the candidate selection process returned fully to the constituency parties.
As I pointed out above Ken, you told nineteen lies in two posts. Here they are:
1. the Brexit Party would then win every Labour Leave vote
2. and hold those votes for the next twenty years.
3. It's not possible to win Labour Leave votes in the Labour heartlands when you take the we-agree-to-give-up-on-socialism "conviction Remain" position.

7. what matters is getting the damn Tories out. But you don't care about that.
8. [it is] a despicable accusation that he's nonchalant at best about a form of bigotry he has fought all of his life.
9. No one who'd lead Labour as a "conviction Remainer" could possibly be a socialist or oppose austerity in any case.
10. Swinson-whose support will collapse once her right-wing positions on almost all issues are exposed during the campaign-
11. "social democratic" parties on the European mainland have totally abandoned social democracy and embraced Thatcherism.
12. EU policies could ever be changed at all-they haven't on anything important since the institution was established, other than to be made more right-wing on economics and spending.
13. But on economics, EU economic and spending rules are carved in stone for the rest of eternity and the only socialist position is to get out of those rules until
14.the is designed to present socialism from ever happening.
15. A Labour government can't BE a Labour government under EU rules.
16. And those of you who are anti-Corbynites don't care.
17. it's too late to change leaders before the snap election.
18. Labour wouldn't run on a program any different than that from the Tories if anyone the PLP preferred to Corbyn was leading it.
19. Your lot never wanted the Tories defeated...because as "Labour moderates", you never wanted Thatcherism brought to an end.
Oh, and not a single one is backed up by any facts or analysis, only your simplistic unsupported assertions, however ridiculous.

"I've never been able to understand my party's ignorance of economics and production. We're good at fostering consumption and excellence at the NHS, education, social services and welfare, but appalling at understanding the basic economics of building and sustaining an industrial base on which everything rests. Instead of growing the economy by state backing and export-led growth as competitors have done, we're left behind clinging to a protectionist bloc designed to protect French agriculture and German manufacturing at our expense.
EU membership means no nationalisations, no state aid to protect jobs, no effective regional policy, no massive deficit-spending to stimulate a flagging economy. Instead, Britain must continue to be drained and dragged down by a European Union, once dynamic but now on the brink of recession thanks to its German inspired neo-liberalism. The alternative to breaking out and fighting back is slow, long term decline..."

It is amazing how much mendacity you can cram into one sentence, Ken.
you should perhaps write crime fiction.
In one of Dashiell Hammett's stories, "The Golden Horseshoe," his nameless protagonist, the Continental Op, finds himself in a Tijuana bar staring at a sign on the wall—"Only genuine prewar British and American whiskey served here." He is trying to figure out just how many lies that nine-word sign contain. He's counted four, but is sure that he's missed a couple, when the action resumes.
Fair enough. So let Labour stop blocking a general election on it.

AACC.org // ... // Chicago // Awards // Samuel R Natelson
The Chicago Section Senior Investigator Award is named in honor of Samuel R. Natelson, Ph.D. Dr. Natelson was one of the real GIANTS in clinical chemistry was one of the founding members of the American Association of Clinical Chemistry, a founder of the National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry and also founded the Chicago Section of AACC. Samuel Natelson received his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry by New York University in 1932 and spent the next 15 years involved with a variety of industry and research related positions in which he spent some of that time working the synthesis of steroids and developed a method for the analysis of cholesterol. It was shortly after he joined the research staff at the Jewish Hospitals of Brooklyn that he discovered a passion for clinical chemistry. In 1949 he accepted a position at Rockford (IL) Memorial Hospital as the clinical chemist that his service career really blossomed. Samuel returned to New York in 1958 at St. Vincent's Hospital as head of the Department of Biochemistry. Finally, in 1965 he accepted the position as senior research biochemist and director of the Department of Biochemistry at Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago. His contributions to the field of clinical chemistry are too numerous that to provide a brief synopsis would not do justice to his accomplishments. Instead I direct you to new complimentary articles published in Clinical Chemistry that details his love of clinical chemistry. Among a large part of his legacy to clinical chemistry included chemists he trained. These include Drs. Norbert Tietz, Amedeo Pesce, John Sherwin and Robert Murray among many other notable scientists. The Samuel R. Natelson Award is the oldest award given by the Chicago Section of AACC.

Egypt's Housing Crisis Reviews
Where To Buy Also available in all good bookstores
"A great deal has been said and written about Egypt's perpetual housing 'crisis' over the past three decades. This book offers the first comprehensive examination of the housing question from the historical, political, economic, and spatial outlooks. Written by one of the most erudite observers in the field, it addresses a critical question that lies at the heart of the social-policy crisis and popular contention."—Asef Bayat, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
"Egypt's Housing Crisis provides novel insights into the historical evolution of the varied causes and consequences of Egypt's housing problems, focusing primarily on the vicissitudes of successive postcolonial regimes' ideologies, discourses, and policies in contexts of unprecedented urbanization and heightened demand for housing. Shawkat combines superb archival research with critical analyses to lift the veil on a multi-layered and apparently opaque housing system, characterized by capricious assertions of power at all levels of society. Ordinary Egyptians' experiences of informality and insecurity, particularly in times of neoliberalism, are constantly foregrounded to give a human face to an apparently intractable housing crisis."—Noor Nieftagodien, University of the Witwatersrand
"Finally, a tour de force that explains, historicizes, and critiques Egypt's poorly targeted, ineffective, and unfair housing policies which have excluded those in need from decent housing while producing millions of vacant apartments in rural and urban areas. Shawkat's seminal contribution convincingly unpacks the complex but traceable legislative, financial, social, economic, and political roots of this untenable housing environment over eight decades."—Diane Singerman, American University .
Bedouins by the Lake
Environment, Change, and Sustainability in Southern Egypt
Ahmed Belal
John Briggs
Joanne Sharp
Irina Springuel
Sustainable development and environmental change have become two of the watchwords of the new century. But what do they mean for ordinary people living in some of the harshest environments in the world where survival is the driving force? This book sets out to examine these issues and how they affect, and are affected by, Bedouin communities living in the arid areas of the Nubian Desert in southeastern Egypt. Written by a joint Egyptian, Russian, and British research team, this book seeks to examine how the Bedouin of this area have coped with the environmental changes brought about after the construction of the Aswan High Dam and resulting formation of Lake Nasser. After documenting the nature of these changes, the authors show the practical and strategic ways in which the Bedouin have responded by adapting both their use of environmental resources and the social and economic dimensions of their community. Bedouins by the Lake argues that people in these communities are active agents of change and must not be seen as passive victims. For them, sustainable development and environmental change are not abstract academic debates, but real-life, everyday issues around which they must organize their lives.

Agrarian Transformation in the Arab World: Persistent and Emerging Challenges
Edited by Habib Ayeb
Reem Saad
This collection of essays revisits agrarian transformation in Arab countries in the light of new realities and emerging challenges. Apart from the urgency of the deepening food crisis, such realities include environmental challenges, changes in consumption and life-style choices, and a new set of rules governing the conditions of access to resources. The issue investigates the commonality and diversity in the current processes of agrarian transformation, based on empirical case studies from different Arab countries.
Crossing Borders, Shifting Boundaries
Edited by Sari Hanafi
Edited bySari Hanafi
This monograph centers on the effort to understand the issue of return migration to Palestine from a sociological point of view. Six papers examine various human situations among Palestinians, ranging from villages that have been divided by borders such as the Green Line to populations of Palestinian origin that have been cut off from their roots in Palestine and are now seeking to establish their lives elsewhere. The common theme is the role of borders and boundaries—those that people seek to cross and those that the wider political processes establish around existing populations. Cairo Papers Vol. 29, No. 1.
Arab Spring in Egypt
Revolution and Beyond
Edited by Bahgat Korany
Rabab El-Mahdi
Beginning in Tunisia, and spreading to as many as seventeen Arab countries, the street protests of the 'Arab Spring' in 2011 empowered citizens and banished their fear of speaking out against governments. The Arab Spring belied Arab exceptionalism, widely assumed to be the natural state of stagnation in the Arab world amid global change and progress. The collapse in February 2011 of the regime in the region's most populous country, Egypt, led to key questions of why, how, and with what consequences did this occur? Inspired by the "contentious politics" school and Social Movement Theory, Arab Spring in Egypt addresses these issues, examining the reasons behind the collapse of Egypt's authoritarian regime; analyzing the group dynamics in Tahrir Square of various factions: labor, youth, Islamists, and women; describing economic and external issues and comparing Egypt's transition with that of Indonesia; and reflecting on the challenges of transition. "Its analysis is as fresh as the breathtaking events it covers."—Nathan Brown, George Washington University "Arab Spring in Egypt is a modern history study that brings much greater understanding to light about the views of modern Arab people and the future they see for their country."—Midwest Book Review


I love puzzles! I especially love the 1,000 piece puzzles. I have three beautiful Thomas Kinkade puzzles matted, framed, and on display in my house. It's the only way I can actually afford one of his paintings. With each framed puzzle, I can recall exactly what I was going through during that season of my life.
Each puzzle reminds me of the struggles I was experiencing and what I was doing to figure out the solutions. They are each like a personal testimony of my life. The last two months I've managed to work on two puzzles. I'm going thought a lot! Right now my life feels like a puzzle and God is holding all the pieces. They are hiding in his shirt pocket and He's only revealing to me one piece at a time.
When putting a puzzle together, I turn over all the pieces and make sure I have all the edges and I connect them. Then I start filling in the middle. This is kind of like what God does with each of us. He sets up boundaries (the edges) and then piece by piece He reveals to us the perfect picture that He has for us. As I sit at the kitchen table finding pieces that will form a beautiful picture and thinking about life, I sense God directing me and reminding me that He has all the pieces.
He is telling me that He is the artist. I just need to "be still" and learn that with each piece He will reveal a new direction and a new awareness. Once again, I will hang on my wall reminders that He has all the pieces of my puzzling life. My hope is that when people look at my life after all the pieces are put together, the final picture will be of Jesus in all that I've done and all that He has done in me.

Wikimedia Foundation Raises $20 Million From 1 Million+ Donors
Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that operates Wikipedia and other sites, this morning announced that they've raised $20 million from more than a million donors, shattering a record once again. The organization says donations have risen every year since its global fundraising campaigns began in 2003.
Wikimedia Foundation claims its sites now serve more than 470 million people every month. Wikipedia, which will celebrate its 11th anniversary in about two weeks, now boasts over 20 million articles in 282 languages.
The organization says more than 100,000 volunteers work on Wikipedia and sister projects.
The foundation employs approximately 80 people full-time.
The annual fundraiser is how the Wikimedia Foundation pays its bills. Funds raised in this campaign will be used to buy and install servers and other hardware, to develop new site functionality, expand mobile services, provide legal defense for the projects, and support the large global community of Wikimedia volunteers.
The Wikimedia Foundation's total 2011-12 planned spending is 28.3 million USD. The bulk of that is raised during the annual campaign, and the remainder comes throughout the year in the form of grants from institutions such as the Sloan Foundation, and many other small donations year round.

Get ready for the new Arts Season in Columbus!!! So excited!
I don't, in general, like pesto. But I love sun-dried tomatoes. So when I saw this recipe in my copy of Everyday Italian, I thought, why not?
It was a good call. Oh my, friends. This is a good meal. DEFINITELY heed this note: While the pasta cooks, scoop out a good 3/4 c.-1 c. of pasta water, and use it to dilute the pesto. This will make it much more "spreadable" and will coat the pasta more evenly, so you get pasta avec sauce, not pasta avec sauce clumps.
The addition of fresh basil makes this a perfect recipe to try in summer and fall, when the basil plants are blooming!
In the bowl of a food processor, blend the sun-dried tomatoes and their oil with the basil and garlic just until the tomatoes are finely chopped. Transfer the pesto to a medium bowl and stir in the cheese and 1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper. Season the pesto with more salt and pepper to taste. Add water until it is the desired consistency.
Dan: The thing that I'm proudest of is Quidditch. I've spoken to at least 2 or 3 professional Quidditch players who think any team will be lucky to have me.
Outside (Panera's) window….sun is setting, it's a beautiful evening once again. We've had a really nice run of almost-fall days and nights where I can sleep with my windows open. This makes me really happy. Sadly it will get warmer on W-Th-F. I'm ready for fall.
I am thinking…that I'm really irritated that my internet was cut off 10 days before my move. Also very irate that I won't have it back until Friday.
I am thankful for…Internet at Panera.
From the kitchen…mostly using up stuff so I don't have to move it! PBJs and pasta, mostly.
I am wearing…jeans, and an AWESOME shirt.woot! t-shirt, "Teacher Talks Funny." It's the Charlie Brown kids with the teacher in front of them, but she's holding a trombone (which is how they made the waaah waah on the show). This is a bit of an inside joke w/ me and selected others—I always say this is how new people sound to me avec the CI. Ha.
I am reading…ballet books, in prep for class on Thursday; Introduction to the Devout Life.
I am hoping…for a good start to the dance class year; a fun weekend at Lake Erie w/ my friends.
In the CD player…The juno sound track.
Around the house…cleaning out the pantry, especially the baking cabinet, and packing for the long weekend.
One of my favorite things….a long weekend w/ friends.
Plans for the rest of the week… Th: Lunch w/ Dad, and ballet class; Friday: Heading to the lake, where we'll be through Sunday.
Because my internet provider is dumb, my internet was accidentally disconnected many days before my move. I won't get it back till Friday. Until then I have VERY limited internet, which will mostly be reserved for post-work blog fests at Panera or on my lunch break at wifi locations around Columbus. This makes me really irritable. Very irritable.
The plus side is I got $100 for all the trouble they are putting me through. How many bagels will that pay for? Hmmm….
The lovers meet—right after "The Beauty Is".

Elie Saab perfume Leather Ylang
Cuir Ylang, when Elie Saab combines sensuality and softness
Elie Saab is a Lebanese designer who can boast of having dressed the greatest personalities on the planet. Its style is characterized by a clever mix of Eastern culture and the contemporary Western universe. Also, among his favorite materials, leather is an exception. This is why Elie Saab has chosen to transform it into a collection of four fragrances called Leather Bourbon, Leather Patchouli, Leather Ylang and Leather Absolu . Focus on the most tender of them: Ylang Leather.
The choice of leather as a central element of Elie Saab perfumes
If Elie Saab has chosen to place leather at the center of his four perfumes, it is quite simply because it is one of the oldest materials used to dress in human history. Indeed, our most distant ancestors already used skins to protect their bodies and cope with their hostile external environment. A natural product that is both strong and breathable, leather has many qualities, including a sensual scent recognizable among all. This is how he elegantly found himself at the center of a perfume in the company of ylang-ylang.
The elegance of the new Ylang Leather
In order to develop Cuir Ylang and its other perfumed counterparts, Elie Saab collaborated with the talented perfumer Francis Kurkdjian. Cuir Ylang thus combines all the elegance emanating from its extraordinary know-how with the impertinence of the house of Elie Saab. Cuir Ylang contains in particular frankincense, a slightly lemony and spicy product. This one is counterbalanced by the exotic sweetness of the ylang-ylang while the birch brings a woody structure to the whole. Finally, as its name suggests, Cuir Ylang places the scent of leather at the heart of its composition and is thus intended for women and men alike.

Aaron Silvers (@mrch0mp3rs) wrote a post tying together the non-linear nature of cyberspace with the essentially linear nature of our past. Identifying how new technologies have to establish their own natures is a familiar refrain, but he's comparing our learning with our new contexts, and essentially questioning the relationship between old methods and new contexts.
I started wondering about whether we could learn without a linear narrative form, and realized we could. That is, we really do want to train certain people (e.g. pilots) to react before conscious thought kicks in. And similarly in, say, martial arts. It gets to a point where the expert creates rationales for what they're doing that aren't necessarily tied to the real action. We saw this in the problems that arose with 'expert systems', where experts articulated what they did, and then they built systems that did what the experts said, and they didn't work.
Typically, we start off on component skills, addressing them with some explicit feedback, and gradually layer on more complex frameworks ("be the ball" :), and the performance is compiled into a deeper, really subcognitive level. We've used stories and feedback, and then augmented with video capture and fancy feedback machines, but we've kept that conscious layer of description even as it gets more abstract to match our increasingly high level of control. Our brains have evolved to process linear narrative, as we see in all the calls for incorporating story in communication. And reflection, a critical component of learning, is conscious. Now, consciousness is a still not understood linear phenomena emerging from our parallel processing brain. What would it mean to end-run linear consciousness? That's what I started trying to imagine.
And what I came up with was a simulation game/immersive environment with non-cognitive feedback, that could train your responses. You'd be performing, and the feedback would train and integrate your responses. Yes, there'd be an explicit model of performance to guide the feedback, but the learner might not be aware of the relationships. Yes, learners would likely create a story about what's happening (given that we're likely to reflect consciously on what we do), but it could be wrong or they could even have their attention drawn elsewhere. So the game might even have some layer with high or little relation to what the system is training. But it could work, like in that possibly apocryphal story of the students who kept paying high quality attention to the instructor when he was on side of the room, and looked away at the other side of the room, and at the end of the lecture the instructor was way off in one corner of the room.
And what concerned me was that I wouldn't want to have a parallel training system that bypassed or misled the conscious learning. And that's what I raised as a comment on Aaron's post. Not that I thought Aaron was advocating that, but it's just where my thinking went, and he rightly queried what I was on about. I couldn't fit it in a comment, hence this post.
The point being, there's a role for the linear conscious narrative and reflection in our learning, just as there's a role for dynamic multimedia networks in our learning as well. It's finding out the balance, the role of activity and reflection, that's the interesting and important challenge.
First of all, very cool where you're going with this, Clark. Your model of "non-cognitive feedback, that could train your responses" — would you consider this to be a reinforcing model? I ask because there's parallels to be drawn from things like "shock therapy" where you're conditioning someone at a subconscious level (though cognitively aware of the pain) to respond to a stimulus in a certain way.
With the example of pilot training, being in a simulator gives you the feeling of spinning out of control and enough experience with it impresses pilots to get a feel for the plane leading up to an unplanned event. Kinda like getting a feel for the signs of trouble early on. You have some pilots, like Capt. Sullenberger who read the signs and just "knew" what he had to do to get the plane down safely.
Simulators, though, are really expensive, which is a constraint. The tacit, experienctial learning is the kind of thing we want to enable with Virtual Worlds, because (pragmatically) if they can be effective, they're a whole lot more accessible and a lot less expensive. Right?
I find his font aggravates my fairly mild dyslexia so that it's like the font is pouring into a whole in the middle of my focus.
Interesting post. Reminded me of Deleuze and Guarrari and their idea/metaphor of rhizomatous learning.
Not so much that the 'long-held narrative forms' themselves are out of date. But that they will now be negotiated, mutable, personal, local, [insert webby buzzword epithet here].
I can't remember who said it, but I remember reading that it's TV and cinema and novels that are the true aberrations, in the grand scheme of things – not the web. Historically, all art and stories have been participatory (and thus in a constant state of hyperspatial flux). It's only in our lifetimes that humans have 'sat back'.
Perhaps, teachers and classrooms are a similar aberration?
It's very clear classrooms are an aberration. Gary Woodill has been talking about the history of classrooms emerging out of Prussia a couple of hundred years ago or so. Before that, the apprenticeship model was in place. I can see a reason for a slightly more scalable model than individual mentoring, but the didactic approach is broken. Rhizomes, like Siemen's connectivist model, have some appeal, but I think there's a tension, e.g. there're things I'd like my kids to know how to do, or know *not* to do! And I do believe narrative is powerful; it may be co-created, but I still like reading books. The power of a master storyteller isn't just an aberration, in my mind.
