Cambridge Impronauts Month – INTERVIEW – Refreshing Improv and Unusual Suggestions…
By Holly on 16 Jun 2021 • ( Leave a comment )
For June we are very excited to be able to go behind the scenes of Cambridge's oldest Improv troupe, the group is a mixture of university students and members of the community. This month we talk to members of the troupe all about how they prepare for shows, stories from the stage and even get to speak to some of the troupes one on one to find out a bit more about them! Today we talk about the future of improv and the best thing and challenges of being part of the Cambridge Impronauts.
Tell us about some unusual suggestions that you have had?
It's a shame no-one is talking about the huge inefficiency of Improv – so many prompts shouted, tweeted, or thrown into a hat, but only a couple used for each show. I'd like to see a kind of graveyard or memorial for the unused ones. Perhaps there's a book or app in that idea…
How do you rehearse a format such as your own?
Even for a short-form gig, we'll make sure the actual cast does at least one rehearsal together to make sure we all know the games and are happy with them.
For long forms, a series of rehearsals: How it's done will depend on the director for that show, but it normally includes conversations about the concept and style, complete run-throughs, and drilling elements that could be improved.
What is the best thing about being in The Cambridge Impronauts?
Every member knows that they have the support of a lovely gang of superb improvisers when they rehearse, try out new things, perform, or just chill.
What is the most challenging?
Generally we can't all be in every show – sometimes one has to sit out. While it's great to watch and learn, it's also hard fighting the urge to run onto stage and join them!
What have been some of your specifically favourite scenes you have created so far in a show and why?
In Improgeddon (Early 2020) we tried some new things. We chose to have a Lighting Director controlling the scene edits – this made the show closer to a traditional theatrical performance for the audience. The Director, Sophia, created a very dramatic son-et-lumiere moment to indicate the End of the World with pulsing PARcans and terrifying Tannoy. The performers ran into spotlights to tell us what was going wrong – it was intense, and gave a strong dynamic lift part-way through the show. It really pushed our assumptions about what an improvised show should look like.
What have been the worst?
That's an uncomfortable question. Occasionally there are miscommunications – someone mishears an endowment, or two people enter a scene when one was intending a monologue – but those frustrations are felt more by the performers than the audiences. While we might revisit such moments after a show or rehearsal, we only ever do that with an eye to improving a format or mutual understanding; never to blame or shame – we support and care about each other.
Who would be your dream guest to appear at one of your shows and why?
Something we've done a few times now is to invite another group to perform in a double bill with us (or we've performed on their stage). We like to combine that with a joint workshop or class where each troupe/act can share some of their games and exercises – or even train each other up a bit in our show formats. It's really refreshing to do, as well as being fun. It's also great for the audience who get even more variety than normal and perhaps see something that hasn't been in town before. We've done this with Stealing The Show, Warwick Improvised Theatre Society, and with Bendy House (including online). I don't think we should identify a single dream guest for the future – the Improv world is too full of wonderful people and hardly-heard-of acts for that.
What is the best piece of advice you have been given about improv and why?
Don't plan: Listen … and then respond.
What would you like to see happen to comedy over the next ten years?
Definitely more inclusivity. Everyone has the potential to be funny and creative and the more people from different backgrounds and experiences that get together to perform, the more exciting and relatable the troupe becomes. We want everyone to enjoy our shows, and it goes a long way to achieving that if we have a diverse group of people smashing it on stage!
From a more personal perspective, I also would like to see more surrealism in comedy. I grew up on the Mighty Boosh, Eddie Izzard and Monty Python (amongst other things) and I think there is a real magic to making bizarre and colourfully weird pictures in audience's heads.

About 6 months ago I had an unexpected phone call asking me if I'd knit cardigans for Shetland ponies. I laughed at this crazy idea, and suggested he ask someone with a knitting machine as it was far too big a project for me to tackle. Doreen Brown, a very talented designer based in Shetland, knitted two beautiful cardigans. Now she's off to to New York to take part in the Tartan Parade on 6 April.
I hope she, and the Vikings from Shetland, have a great time there and win many fans.

Aujourd'hui

            L'Avenue Kléber accueille aujourd'hui l'un des plus prestigieux palaces de Paris, The Peninsula Paris, autrefois Hôtel Majestic.
            On y retrouve également l'Hôtel Raphael, un hôtel parisien cinq étoiles. Hôtel indépendant,
            il a la particularité d'être géré par la même famille depuis plusieurs générations, tout comme l'hôtel Régina et la Villa Hotel Majestic.
            Au n°50, l'Ambassade du Pérou est installée dans un hôtel particulier appartenant au gouvernement péruvien depuis 1958.
            Cette avenue est desservi par les stations de métro Charles de Gaulle - Étoile, Kléber, Boissière et Trocadéro.

Hier

                A l'origine, l'avenue Kléber se prénommait l'avenue du Roi de Rome, ouverte en 1854.
                Plus tard, elle fut rebaptisée avenue Kléber par un arrêté du 16 août 1879.
                L'avenue Kléber a été nommé ainsi en souvenir de Jean-Baptiste Kléber, un général français. Il s'est
                illustré lors des guerres de la Révolution française, notamment lors de la campagne d'Egypte menée par Napoléon Ier.
                Installant en 1911 une usine de pneumatiques à Colombes, la Société Française BF Goodrich devient Kléber-Colombes en 1945 à la suite
                de l'installation de son siège social avenue Kléber, puis Kléber en 1962.


In the US, the majority of fellowships are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education ("ACGME"). There are a few programs that are not accredited, yet are actually well received, given the importance of being a Board Certified Physician in a primary specialty, where a Fellowship is often more based on research productivity.

"Sexual Healing" is a song recorded by American singer Marvin Gaye from his album Midnight Love (1982). It was his first single since his exit from his long-term record label Motown earlier in the year, following the release of the In Our Lifetime (1981) album the previous year. It is listed at number 233 on Rolling Stone's list of 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[1]

In the winter of 1981, Marvin Gaye had relocated to Ostend, Belgium, following the end of a European tour amid financial difficulties with the Internal Revenue Service and the end of his second marriage. Struggling with depression and cocaine addiction, Gaye had agreed to move to Ostend on the advice of longtime resident Freddy Cousaert. While in Ostend, Gaye began to curb his drug use and recover from his depression, partaking in Ostend's beaches. Gaye also began cutting ties with his longtime recording label, Motown, following the release of In Our Lifetime, an album the musician did not declare to be finished. He declared that he would never record with the label ever again after he accused the label of betraying his creativity.[2]
Over the years, Gaye had received offers from labels such as I.R.S. Records, Arista Records and Elektra Records while still with Motown; afterwards, he sought to make a deal with CBS Records after they offered him a contract.[3] The label agreed to sign him and help clear his financial debt. CBS spent a year negotiating the contract. In the meantime, Gaye needed spending money, so Cousaert set him up with a month-long England tour between June 13 and July 1, 1981. The tour was called "A Heavy Love Affair Tour 1981", named after his song "Heavy Love Affair", from In Our Lifetime.[4] After returning to Belgium that July, Gaye performed two shows at Ostend's Casino Kursaal on July 3 and 4, 1981.[5] The tour's commercial and critical success further renewed Gaye's musical confidence.
Production[edit]
At the end of the tour, two of Gaye's musicians, Gordon Banks and Odell Brown, had decided to stay in Ostend as Gaye had been planning on new musical material after being exposed to reggae music while in England.[6] With Brown and Banks, Gaye created and composed an instrumental track that featured reggae overtones, recorded in October of 1981.
Gaye was still working on the track when David Ritz, then a reviewer for Rolling Stone, arrived at Ostend to locate Gaye, despite Gaye's and Couseart's rules that no music critic would be allowed to talk to the singer.[6][7] The story has been disputed on how the lyrics to "Sexual Healing" were devised. Ritz claims that Gaye had been viewing sadomasochism comic books and advised Gaye he needed "sexual healing".[6][8] When Ritz explained to Gaye what that meant, Gaye told him to "write a poem" while Gaye came up with the melody.[6][8] However, Gaye's closest friends dispute that claim.
In an interview with HUMO in 1994, Cousaert claimed the only songwriters were Gaye and Brown and stated Ritz's contribution was the title.[9] In Frankie Gaye's memoirs, My Brother, Marvin, the singer's brother claimed Ritz had told him, "not only are you sexy, your music is healing," inspiring Gaye to write the lyrics himself.[10] Gordon Banks told The Atlantic in 2012 that the conversation between Gaye and Ritz had nothing to do with Marvin's S&M collection but because Gaye had been intrigued by Amsterdam's red light district, to which Ritz replied that Gaye needed sexual healing but said he had nothing to do with the creation of the song.[11] Odell Brown stated he never met Ritz and assumed Ritz was just there for an interview for Rolling Stone.[6] Though Gaye himself acknowledged Ritz for coming up with the song title, Ritz sued Gaye for $15 million for partial credit.[12] Though Ritz was eventually credited after settling with Gaye's estate following his death, his case was dropped due to insufficient evidence in 1983.[12]
Composition[edit]
"Sexual Healing" has been described as a post-disco,[13] soul[14] and funk song.[15] It begins with a deep bass drum followed by "tinny" handclaps, "ticky" snare, and "tishy" hi-hats generated by a Roland TR-808 drum machine.[16] The first vocal sounds are of whispers, recorded by singer Harvey Fuqua, an early mentor of Gaye who assisted him in production of the song and its parent album, Midnight Love. Fuqua whispers, "get up, wake up", four times before the sounds of a rhythmic keyboard. Afterwards, Gaye sings an ad-lib before the first verse.
As Gaye sings the verses, background vocals (provided by Gaye and Gordon Banks) are heard singing, "heal me, my darlin'," while Gaye sings the lyrics. During the chorus, sounds of a harmonious synthesizer are heard before Gaye reaches a vocal bridge, that is led by Gaye and Gordon Banks providing a rhythm guitar solo. In the album version of the song, Fuqua's whispers are repeated in the middle of the song, in the single version, however, Gaye takes Fuqua's place, singing in part of Fuqua's words adding more lyrics before returning to the verse. Another bridge follows after the second repeat of the chorus. In different versions of the song, Gaye had added extra lyrics to the second bridge as showcased on the song's demo tape and on an alternate version of the song. Gaye eventually cut part of the lyrics off.
In the album version, Gaye and Banks' background vocals immediately come after the second bridge ends, but in the single version, Gaye repeats the vamp he had sung at the ending of the first bridge, this time with Fuqua's whispers added. The song ends with Gaye repeating the chorus line. As it fades out, Gaye can be heard singing, "please don't procrastinate, it's not good to masturbate."[17]
Music video[edit]
A music video for "Sexual Healing" was shot, depicting Gaye singing in a smoky nightclub with four female dancers behind him. Interspersed were amusing scenes of Gaye getting a physical exam from a sexy female doctor, admiring her in the process. The doctor was professional and aloof at first, but soon succumbs to Gaye's admiration after taking an elixir from her medicine cabinet called "Midnight Love Potion". At the end of his nightclub performance, Gaye takes off in a limousine with the sexy doctor for a night on the town.
Critical reception[edit]
In his review of Midnight Love for Rolling Stone, Dave Marsh described "Sexual Healing" as a track that was "sort of a polemic for the power of rampant humping."[18] Blender described it as "the plaintively blue-balled model for basically every slow jam" since its release.[19] An AllMusic reviewer stated Gaye had "concocted a pioneering percussive sound that was balladic in taste but stimulating in feel."[20] In its end-year lists of 1982, Rolling Stone, NME and The Village Voice listed it as one of the "songs of the year" with the latter two ranking it at number two.[21] People described it as "America's hottest pop-culture turn-on" since Olivia Newton-John's single "Physical".[22]
"Sexual Healing" won several music industry awards. At the 1983 Grammy Awards, the song won Gaye two Grammys, including Best Male R&B Vocal Performance and Best R&B Instrumental Performance.[23] Gaye's performance of the song later made it into the compilation album, Grammy's Greatest Moments Volume I, in 1994.[24] The American Music Awards recognized the track for Favorite Soul/R&B Single. "Sexual Healing" sold over two million units in its standard 45 RPM single format and was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. The digital sales of "Sexual Healing" reached 500,000 downloads and was certified as a Gold single in 2005. Also issued as a mastertone, this format was certified Platinum in 2007.
Chart performance[edit]
"Sexual Healing" reached number one on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart. The success was similar on the Hot 100 where it peaked at number three. This peak at number three made Gaye the second artist in the history of the Hot 100 chart (after Aretha Franklin) to have a hit song peak at each position from one to ten on the chart. The song also was a success on Billboard's other component charts, reaching number 12 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart and number 34 on the Hot Adult Contemporary chart. The song reached number one on Canada's RPM chart.
It also peaked at number four on the UK Singles Chart and Australia's Kent Music Report. On Belgium's Ultratop 50 chart, the song reached number two. It also reached number one on New Zealand's RIANZ chart, where it stayed at the top spot for six weeks. It reached number three on the Dutch Top 40 in the Netherlands and also reached number seven on the Irish Singles Chart in Ireland. In other countries such as Germany's Media Control Charts, Switzerland's Swedish Singles Chart and Italy's Italian Singles Chart, success in those countries were modest, reaching number 23, 17 and 37 respectively in those countries' charts, ultimately selling over four million records worldwide.

In 2007, the song was covered by German singer Sarah Connor for her studio album of covers, Soulicious (2007). A re-recorded version featuring American singer Ne-Yo was released as the album's second single in 2007. On the same album, Connor performed a posthumous duet with Gaye entitled "Your Precious Love".
The song's music video is placed in the story of the 1986 erotic drama film 9½ Weeks, featuring representative scenes from the film, e.g. the well-known ice scene, Connor being fed by a Ne-Yo doppelgänger and her homemade striptease. Apart from the original movie, this video is the only one that repeats the sex scene on the stairs in the rain. Ne-Yo was not available the day the music video was shot, so a doppelgänger was used. Connor stated that she was slightly drunk during the shoot of the video.[62]

Dispossessed Democrats And Rejected Republicans Unite!
My single-issue anti-immigration candidacy for California Governor in the recent Recall Gray Davis election ran into one unanticipated problem.
I ran as a Democrat. I am a (moderate) Democrat.
But many Republicans—although they applauded my immigration stance—recoiled in disgust.
I was immediately lumped in with the "crazy tax and spend liberals."
On immigration, Republicans were quick to add: "You think Bush is bad. He's a hundred times better than any Democrat would ever be."
To which I repeatedly replied, "Maybe yes and maybe no. We only know for a fact that Bush is terrible."
(Anyway, what did that have to do with the California governor's race? That was another problem I ran into: people just don't understand symbolic voting—yet.)
I'm no wild-eyed liberal. I like to keep my money as much as the next fellow. And my affiliation with the Democratic Party can best be described as loose—and local.
At the federal level, since coming of voting age, I have voted for Barry Goldwater, Richard Nixon (twice), Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan (twice) and George H. Bush (once).
I voted for Bill Clinton once. When he ran for re-election against Bob Dole, I voted for an independent whose name I forget. (I didn't want to waste my vote.)
But since my experiences in the California governor's race, I've spent considerable time thinking about Democrats and immigration reform.
Not all Democrats are hopeless on immigration. Two Democratic VDARE.COM contributors, Brenda Walker and Linda Thom, have written for years about the importance of reducing immigration.
Other high profile Democrats well known to VDARE.COM readers are solidly on our side. Among them are former Colorado Governor and FAIR Advisory Board Chairman Richard Lamm, Eugene McCarthy, one-time Minnesota Senator, 1968 presidential candidate and member of the FAIR Advisory Board, and radio talk-show host George Putnam (who describes himself as a "conservative" Democrat).
Among grassroots Democrats, positive signs of immigration realism abound. According to a study titled "Evenly Divided and Increasingly Polarized: 2004 Political Landscape" and released in November by the Pew Research Center for The People and The Press:
"About eight-in-ten Republicans (82%) and somewhat fewer independents and Democrats (76% each) [Joecomment:!!] agree with the statement 'We should restrict and control people coming into our country to live more than we do now.'"
Whatever disagreements rank and file Republicans and Democrats may have, everyone concurs that the need for immigration reform is urgent.
According to Americans for Better Immigration, the United States Senate has 12 Democrats with career grades of C or better on immigration reduction. Only 17 Republican Senators get C or better.
Georgia's Saxby Chambliss, Chair of the Senate Immigration Subcommittee has a career voting record of A-. Only one Republican Senator is above him—Kentucky's Jim Bunning, with an A.
Chambliss is joined by Senators Robert Byrd of West Virginia (A+); Zell Miller, Georgia, Ernest Hollings, South Carolina and Harry Reid, Nevada (all with B); Blanche Lincoln, Arkansas and Tim Johnson, South Dakota (B- for both), Bill Nelson, Florida and John Breaux, Louisiana (C+) and Dianne Feinstein; California, Kent Conrad; North Dakota and Mark Dayton; Minnesota (each with C).
A recent hopeful sign: There was no Democratic opposition when The Basic Pilot Extension Act of 2003, to prevent the hiring of illegal aliens, passed both the Senate Judiciary Committee and the Senate on voice votes. Bush signed the bill into law on December 4th.
Despite these rays of hope, however, the fact remains that most Democrats have adopted mass immigration and pandering to illegal aliens as their salvation.
But opinions differ on the wisdom of that strategy. I asked two astute political observers, Governor Richard Lamm and NumbersUSA.com Executive Director Roy Beck, to share their views.
Said Lamm:
"I am not sure that the Democrats are doing the wrong thing for them in the short term….Politics is about where the new constituencies are, and who has the energy and enthusiasm, the new money. The Christian Right and Neo-Conservatives are bringing this to the Republican Party and the only new energy into the Democratic Party is the Gays.
"The old Democratic constituencies of women, environmentalists, Blacks, Hispanics, is seen as the group to build upon. The Democratic Party thinks they pay no price for immigration and want to out-demagogue the Republicans on the issue. Having lost a lot of the Southern Whites, and the Ethnic blocks, they see immigration as bringing them new voters. The fact that it is against the long term well being of the country doesn't seem to count….The organized passionate minority will almost always beat the distracted majority."
But NumbersUSA.com's Roy Beck sees the Democrats as shooting themselves in the foot over their failure to respond to America's demand for immigration reduction. According to Beck:
"Democrats may guarantee their minority party status for the next decade or so if the national party leaders continue to convey the sense that they side with extremely narrow special interests that favor open borders over the broad public interest of controlled borders. Recent polls finding that around three-quarters of Democrats, Independents and Republicans want less immigration shows just how out of touch Democratic presidential candidates and House and Senate leaders are.
"Their pro-amnesty, pro-high-importation-of-foreign-workers stance drives off the independent voters they have to have to win and is accelerating erosion among core, culturally conservative blue-collar Democrats who already are becoming swing voters. The latter group's desertion of the Democrats was one of the reasons why Gray Davis was booted from office and why Cruz Bustamante couldn't come close to carrying the Democratic banner to victory.
"Democratic leaders' embrace of immigration policies that drive massive urban sprawl, threaten the environment and depress wages particularly of the working class and minorities is a violation of core Democratic principles.
"And what constituency of votes does the open-borders position appeal to? Polling of Hispanics, for example, has shown that immigration stances play very little role in how Hispanics vote. Of the few Hispanics who are inclined to vote based on a candidate's immigration position, more are likely to vote against an open-borders candidate than for one."
Sadly for the common sense crowd, none of the dozen enlightened Senate Democrats listed above is currently a candidate for President of the United States.
So with November 2004 looming, an ugly choice may await us—George W. "Family Values Don't Stop at the Rio Grande" Bush or one of the nine Democratic candidates/traitors.
But politics is an unpredictable game. The immigration issue may well surface anyway. I continue to think, and hope, that a Democrat might do it.
But right now the message that the party bosses are sending is very clear: if you want immigration reform, you will have to forget traditional party loyalties.
As a beneficiary of the last great party realignment said in his 1862 State of the Union Address, "As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew."
Dispossessed Democrats and Rejected Republicans unite!—you have nothing to lose but the contempt of your leaders.

Q: Kubuntu 16.04 Plasma can not start after fresh install I have made a fresh install of Kubuntu 16.04 via USB stick. The sha256 checksum of the USB stick matched the one on the download page. All installed packets have their most recent version. I have a AMD A10-7850K Radeon R7, 12 Compute Cores 4C+8G so I don't have a separate graphical card. On Kubuntu 14.04 I use the flgrx driver but this is no longer available on 16.06.
After I entered my password the blue progress bar reaches its end, but nothing happens anymore for 30 seconds. Then I get a pop-up with following message: "Plasma can not start. All shell packets are missing. This is related to the installation, please take contact with your distribution." (translated myself from Dutch). Then I get a black screen.
When pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete I get the option to log out or to reboot.
Note: I have seen posts of other people having the same problem on other forums

A: Some packages that are needed for KDE to run are missing or misconfigured.
Enter a TTY (Ctrl + Alt + F1) and log in there. Run
sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop kde-* || sudo apt-get install -f
and KDE should start.
You'll have to be connected to the internet for this to work.

A: The problem seems to be that the Dutch translations (kde-l10n-nl) of KDE conflict with plasma-desktop. Forcing the reinstallation of plasma-desktop in a TTY fixed the issue. You don't have to reinstall kubuntu-desktop for this to work:
apt-get install --reinstall plasma-desktop
apt-get -f install

A: Actually, I had the same problem and it is related to the cached content.
Just go down to the console with Ctrl + Alt + f1, log in, and:
~$ cd ~/.cache
~/.cache$ rm -rf *plasma* *kde*

exit - change back to the UI with: Alt + f7 (Usually)
and log in through sddm again.
Should work now.
The first login will take longer than usual - as it needs to rebuild all the caches. But apart from that - it's working.
Make sure you really log out out of GUI ! If not it won't really work.

A: There is another problem with Kubuntu, not only 16.04 with the plasma desktop on iMac running in Virtualbox. Using 3D acceleration in Virtualbox enabled will cause the toolbar of K Desktop becoming invisible. So there is a problem with the Virtualbox video drivers for Virtualbox OS X. Disabling 3D acceleration will solve this problem, but screen drawing is significantly slowed down and we want 3D acceleration to boost performance.

A: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/staging-misc
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kde-l10n-nl
sudo apt-get install plasma-desktop

A: I just had the same issue. I tried some of the suggestions and got an interesting error. I found the fix as a result. The error was something to the effect that a /run/systemd/generator/home.mount could not be used that there was a duplicate in /etc/fstab. !!?? So I commented out all my extra drives, and voilla! NO idea yet why a mount command on an extra drive prevents xwindows to load, but that was it.

During the solo performance you will walk silently through the cobbled paths, roads and passages of Gamla Stan. Following each other in a line as you are guided, and taken into and through the darkness, using walking as a movement to explore the inescapable and potentiality of the situation we find ourselves, falling from gravity, off balance and catching ourselves controlled and subject to the momentum of history, time and hidden directions of love interest and longing, together we navigated the heart of our situation, in the heart of Stockholm.
This is a non-funded project, and so we ask for a donation of 80kr.
You must let us know if you are coming.
Message us at Peter Mills or peterapeterpeter@gmail.com

Peter Mills, the artist PETER, is exploring how we exist in the world. Using reformulation Peter devises an alternative form through which to understand the body's/a person's activities and place in the world. I have known Lyn for three years, when she approached me with interest in my practices, work, performances and future. We talked and met over a year, and tried to understand our situations in the world. After conversations about what we can do politically, socially and personally we wanted to work directly with our audience and take our conversation to the street.
Lyn is a dancer, ledsagare and long-sleeper originally from Switzerland. Starting out with Oriental Dance and 5 Rhythms she went to Copenhagen after her high school graduation to attend Copenhagen Contemporary Dance School, followed by the three year dance education at DOCH in Sweden.

She performed with pieces by Becky Hilton, Emanuel Gat, Jefta van Dinther, Christian Duarte and Runa Norrheim and approached PETER for a collaboration after her graduation. Besides that she is interested in the depth of life and enjoys simplicity as a tool to dig deeper with an ever-online and very associative brain.
Peter Mills is a choreographer, dancer, performer, artist, activist, researcher, teacher and mentor. Peter has a masters in choreography from Dans och Cirkushögskolan, where he worked on choreography through documentation as an ethical practice, towards anti-authoritarian ideals.
Now Peter focuses on research and experimental choreography.

BibleWorks 6: Software for Biblical Exegesis and Research
by James M. Hamilton Jr.
Southwestern Journal of Theology
Vol 46, No. 2, Spring 2004, pp 77-79.
By any standard of measure, BibleWorks 6 is impressive. This review will first describe what comes with the basic package for $299.95 before discussing the two add-ons listed above and the software's capabilities. Whereas with some Bible software one must pay extra for each original language text and each major translation, BibleWorks 6 comes with a breathtaking list of original language texts and translations. For the Greek New Testament, not only does BibleWorks 6 come with the standard NA27/UBS4 text, it also comes with the Stephanus Greek NT, the Robinson-Pierpont Greek NT, and Scrivener's Greek NT (all following the Textus Receptus). But also included are Westcott and Hort's Greek NT and Tischendorf's Greek NT-with Tischendorf's text-critical apparatus!
For OT studies, the software comes with the BHS Hebrew text, the LXX with the Apocrypha, and Brenton's English translation of the LXX. The software also comes with the Aramaic Targums on the OT, and these are parsed, lemmatized, and linked to a Comprehensive Aramaic Lexicon. Included as well is the Aramaic New Testament (also known as the Peshitta) with the James Murdock English translation.
The base price also brings the Latin Vulgate, the Apostolic Fathers, and the Complete works of Josephus in the original Greek and Latin along with the Whiston English translation. With some software programs each modern translation of the Bible will cost anywhere from an additional $15 to $30 (the KJV is always free, and generally one modern translation will be thrown in on the deal), but the BibleWorks 6 base price includes every modern translation one could desire (NKJV, NASB, NASB 1995, RSV with Apocrypha, NIV, NRSV with Apocrypha, NAB, NLT, NJB, JPS 1917 and Tanakh 1985, ESV, and the 1534 Tyndale NT) and others.
BibleWorks 6 also comes with Ernest Dewitt Burton's Syntax of Moods and Tenses in New Testament Greek and Gesenius' Hebrew Grammar. One also has access to an editable Synopsis of the Gospels-the Synopsis can be underlined on the computer. Another helpful feature is an impressive timeline of ancient history extending from before the flood through the early church, the middle ages, the reformation, and to the contemporary era. This is also editable so that dates can be adjusted according to one's conclusions and events and figures can be added to the timeline for additional detail. BibleWorks comes with an easy to use diagramming tool so that untangling complex Greek sentences can be done on one's computer (though writing the text out by hand has its value).
This review also extends to two important add-on modules. First are two most necessary lexica for Bible study: BDAG and HALOT. These may be purchased separately at $125 and $159 respectively, or bundled together for an impressive bargain of $197. BibleWorks is able to make these tools available for less than it would cost to buy them from the publishers. Further, while I think one should possess the books themselves for serious study, having these tools on the computer so that the click of a mouse brings up a full entry is incomparably faster than thumbing through a large lexicon.
The second add-on is the Qumran Sectarian Manuscripts (commonly referred to as the Dead Sea Scrolls). While this module is morphologically tagged, it only comes with the original Hebrew or Aramaic text. This restricts its usefulness to those who know the languages. But, for those wise enough to study Hebrew and Aramaic in seminary, this is a powerful tool. Point, click, and on the screen appear every occurrence of "righteousness" or "faith" or any other term from the Dead Sea Scrolls. By making these texts available in this way, BibleWorks 6 has opened up exciting possibilities for students of Second Temple Judaism (the same goes for the text of Josephus, which is also searchable).
As far as search capability is concerned, BibleWorks 6 is as capable as any other program and arguably more user-friendly. The program comes with a series of helpful video tutorials that make learning one's way through the program easy.
When we come to compare BibleWorks to other available Bible software, it seems to me that the advantages of the three most popular programs can be compared as follows. The strength of the Logos system is its digital library, but the numerous digital texts come at a higher price. BibleWorks does not set out to replace the traditional library of bound books, and for lovers of actual books, this is a virtue. And yet BibleWorks does make available a core set of texts which are useful for Bible study. At the other end of the spectrum, with fewer available texts (and thus also a lower price) is the Gramcord software. In my judgment BibleWorks 6 strikes the happy balance of encouraging people to build libraries of actual books while making available resources that are either extremely expensive and hard to find or generally inaccessible outside a research library (e.g., the Tischendorf critical apparatus, the Targums, Josephus in Greek). Every serious student of the Bible can be grateful for this outstanding product.

Last night I arrived in San Francisco after along day of travelling and a hectic week. The CCCC conference began this morning and I was there bright and early for a morning workshop on blogging.
At noon I met up with Jarrett from Creature of the Shade for my fourth installment in the "conversations with place bloggers" series. I was interested in hearing how he got started blogging and what connections he makes between his writing and his sense of place. As we sat looking out over Market Street and downtown San Franscisco, our conversation ranged beyond the topic of blogging to our ideas of place more generally, to his work, and my dissertation, and along the way he offered some helpful suggestions in ways to approach my research on place blogging. I consider it one of the perks of this particular dissertation that it gives me an excuse to meet up with interesting people in intersting places, and I hope it's possible to keep it that way.

StarBase 118 Universe Primer • Stardate • Mission Logs • Blockbusters
▼ 2320s
"I am my own beginning. My own ending."
To get an overview of the major events and changes since the last time the "prime universe" was seen in canon—Star Trek Nemesis and Star Trek (2009)—check out the StarBase 118 Universe Primer!
Here is the chronological timeline of UFOP: StarBase 118. Listed are the major events that have transpired over the last century.
Major Events include:
Births, deaths, and other major life/family events such as weddings and graduations.
Launchings, decommisionings, and destructions of fleet vessels.
Promotions to the rank of commander and above.
Notable mission events and discoveries: This is helpful when a CO asks the science officer if there's ever been a record of something like this happening before.
Major diplomatic or political events such as first contacts, wars declared, and treaties signed.
Major battles and fleet engagements.
Remember that the purpose of the timeline is to allow simmers to quickly see a record of major events in the SB118 universe to help promote continuity among missions (especially those that may involve time travel or build upon past events) and between ships.
When adding events, keep in mind whether the information you add would be useful for someone simming on a different vessel than your own. If so, add it!
To prevent cluttering of the timeline, do not list the following:
Awards received: These are already listed on the List of Award Recipients page.
Character-specific service record events such as transfers and promotions below the rank of commander: These events should instead be recorded on the character's own service record in his/her bio page and on his/her ship's crew history page.
OOC events: These belong on the UFOP: StarBase 118 History page.
Non-notable "canon" events: While a select number of major events from canon such as the destruction of Romulus and Remus are fine for context, there's no need to include every last mission of the Enterprise-D, for instance. Focus primarily on recording events from your own simming experiences.
Decade-by-Decade Summary of Major Geopolitical Events
◀ 2320s
The Cardassian Union begins its occupation of Bajor.
The Betreka Nebula Incident starts a conflict between the Klingon Empire and the Cardassian Union that lasts from 2328 to 2346. Basul Rodul, the Rodulan homeworld, has already been occupied since 2326 and continues to be occupied at different times by the Cardassians and the Klingons for over twenty years until the Klingons are forced by the Federation to withdraw in 2349.
The USS Enterprise-C is destroyed while defending the Klingon outpost on Narendra III from Romulan attack.
The Setlik III massacre takes place, in which Cardassian forces raid the Federation colony on the planet.

A group of terrorists operating in the Haliian system bombs several cities, attempting to persuade planets on the outskirts of the Federation to declare independence.
The Federation's increasing presence in the Eratis System led to conflict with the Gorn Hegemony and ultimately the Battle of Eratis and the Gorn Conflict of 2383.
Four years later, the Second Battle of Eratis concluded with the capture of Deep Space 17 by the Vaadwaur. The Vaadwaur Occupation lasted until Operation Bright Star, when the station was finally liberated by Starfleet on SD 238709.19.
Later in 2387, the Hobus supernova destroyed the Romulan homeworlds of Romulus and Remus.
The USS Constitution-B is hijacked by Armeni, a psychotic, Betazoid felon, and used to destroy the Betazoid city of Ohmallera, killing 1.2 million people.
Bajor became the newest member of the Federation, although the tumultuous events surrounding its membership became known as the Battle for Bajor.
The decade ended with the Klingons invading into the Romulan Star Empire.
The aftermath of the Hobus supernova was still felt at the dawn of the new decade as the ancient Iconian gateways were reactivated across the galaxy in what became known as the Gateway Crisis of 2390.
First contact is made with the Kubarey by the USS Garuda.
Zalkonian Evolutionist Movement seek refuge from mass killings.
Anti-Federation group Ralaaram Ocala harass commercial traffic in response to reemergence of a plague in the Onias Sector.
A domestic terrorist group calling itself the Maquis Reborn, led by Nikael Kalre, makes itself known to Starfleet and the Federation in an attack on Deep Space 10.
Citing a lack of protection by Starfleet and other Federation forces against continued piracy and raids on transport crews, the Federation Transport Union strikes on the eve of 2392.
An accident aboard the Prometheus Station begins what becomes known as the Prometheus Incident, the greatest threat to the Alpha Quadrant since the Dominion War.
Federation President Nan Bacco makes a historic state visit to the Romulan Star Empire and the new Romulan capital of Rator III.
After winning the 2392 election, Narala is inaugurated as the next Federation president, succeeding Nan Bacco. Narala appoints Lily Ventu as the Federation's Secretary of the Exterior.
The quantum slipstream starliner Charles Lindbergh is hijacked by colonial extremists.
