Education and Youth Organizing Tools
SEE THE INTERACTIVE TIMELINE
Since the first Transit Equity Day in 2018, allies of the Transit Equity Network have encouraged action in three keys ways. These have been to:
EDUCATE • AGITATE • ORGANIZE!
Educating our communities and local and federal officials about transit equity is vital to the work we do. Inequality resulting from limited access to affordable public transportation is a societal ill that runs deep through American history. So much so that key movements before and throughout the Civil Rights era centered on the struggles and victories of racial equality on buses and other forms of public transportation along with the accessibility of these forms of transportation in inner cities where, at the time, were predominantly Black.
Add to that, the hastening erosion of our planet brought on by various forms of pollution, especially Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, which–yet again–are epicentered in low-income and communities of color. These multiple existential threats heighten the need and urgency for not just affordable and accessible public transportation but that which is powered by Clean. Renewable. Energy.
In the throes of what Labor Network for Sustainability Research and Policy Director Jeremy Brecher calls "The Coronavirus Depression," cuts to transit services will have a devastating domino effect from which it will take decades to recover:
Transit workers would lose their jobs, as with millions of other essential workers who will not be able to get to and from.
Students will not be able to get to class.
Those with physical disabilities will not be able to get to work or places that offer services to help them with day-to-day needs.
Those who are homebound will not be able to depend on caregivers who use transit to come to their homes to provide basic care.
Individuals who are unemployed or homeless will not be able to seek employment or access agencies that can help them.
Single mothers who rely on trains and buses will not be able to to get to work, shop for basic necessities for themselves and their young ones.
Yes, the time to Educate decision makers about transit equity is more urgent than ever–and it must stem from all generations, ethnicities, economic backgrounds, genders, and mental and physical capabilities. It must stem from all hands on deck. All aboard.
Educate, Agitate, Organize!

Deadpool 2 is here and it's awesome… but despite Wade thinking he's fixing the X-Men movies timeline, we think he made things worse.
This Deadpool 2 article contains spoilers. We have a spoiler free review here if you prefer.
Let's just get it out of the way: Deadpool 2 is hilarious. Perhaps even more so than the first movie, Ryan Reynolds and David Leitch's follow-up to the Merc with a Mouth's last big screen adventure is unapologetically irreverent to the point of self-parody. Quite literally so during the movie's demented post-credits scene, which culminates with Reynolds' 2018 Deadpool popping up during the climax of his first appearance as Wade Wilson: 2009's largely forgotten X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
It takes a special kind of pedantic geek—welcome home!—to recall that before Reynolds became a box office darling in a saucy little red and black getup, he appeared in the first and worst Wolverine spinoff, a standalone prequel that is arguably the root of most of the X-Men films' continuity woes. For it was X-Men Origins: Wolverine that introduced Wade as a post-Vietnam American special-ops motormouth circa 1979… who then has his mouth literally sewn shut as he becomes a guinea pig for the film's mad scientist villain.
But did he really fix it? We rather think he made an even bigger mess of things. Intentionally so. Because if you thought the X-Men movies timeline was confusing before, well you obviously haven't met Cable. So where exactly does Deadpool 2 fit? Even in the presumably present day of 2018, that can still be a headscratcher.
Set in 2018 with the 1990s' X-Men?
Another one of the comic highlights of Deadpool 2 is when Wade Wilson tries being an X-Man superhero for a day. And really, it lasts for more like an afternoon. After waking up in Colossus' X-Mansion, Wade is his usual flippant self when he hijacks one of Charles Xavier's wheelchair and zips around the main floor. It's clearly a modern context since Charles has installed a requisite portrait of President Barack Obama among all these other "dead white guys." (We imagine Donald Trump is in no danger of winding up in the Xavier collection).
However, when Wade begins to vent that there are no other X-Men around other than Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead, there is a quickie insert shot of a few of the notable X-Men from 2016's X-Men: Apocalypse and next year's X-Men: Dark Phoenix hanging around. Namely James McAvoy as Charles Xavier, Nicholas Hoult's Beast, Tye Sheridan's Cyclops, and Evan Peters' Quicksilver. They quickly shut the door before Deadpool notices them.
It's a nice gag… except it makes the timeline even more confusing because they're supposed to be the "young X-Men." And to make this aging timeline work that means they're specifically the X-Men from the early '90s, about 25 years before Deadpool 2 is set. Hence new recruits like Negasonic, Wade, and Negasonic's super-awesome girlfriend Yuki. This is further muddled because when Wade tries on Xavier's Cerebro headdress, he remarks, "It smells like Patrick Stewart." That is because, nominally speaking, after the year 2000, the X-Men are supposed to look like the cast of the original X-Men films and not their younger selves. In 2018 Xavier should be pushing 80.
This is likely a mistake of casting necessity (Fox wants the younger faces to be the new, defining image of the X-Men), but it is only the tip of the timey-wimey iceberg here that will give us all headaches.
Here's a little less than hidden secret about X-Men Origins: Wolverine—it is the black sheep of the X-Men movie universe. Even in a franchise that gave us the toxic X-Men: The Last Stand just three years prior to it, the first Wolverine movie is widely considered one of the worst superhero movies ever, including by Fox. Which is ironic given that it introduced us to Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool and spawned a franchise that ended with one of the genre's very best films in Logan.
Be that as it may, pretty much all of the X-films since 2009 have ignored Origins. Hence despite being introduced as a young teenager in that 2009 movie, 2011's X-Men: First Class also starred a very adult Emma Frost (played there by January Jones), even though it was set 17 years earlier in 1962. Similarly, the first Deadpool didn't bother addressing why Wade Wilson was powerless and young (relatively speaking) in 2016 when he was supposed to be a natural mutant in the 1970s, as per X-Men Origins. And then it was "all" officially retconned in X-Men: Days of Future Past and X-Men: Apocalypse. In both films, time travel is used to fix a lot of problems the franchise, which begins by going to 1972 in Days of Future Past and erasing all the events of X-Men: The Last Stand, and then X-Men: Apocalypse redoes Wolverine's origin (yet again) as a consequence. It also occurs in a scenario that entirely erases the events of X-Men Origins: Wolverine from continuity.
… And yet, by having Deadpool go back in time to 1979 and killing the horrible studio-mandated version of himself, Reynolds is not "fixing" the timeline—he's muddying it beyond belief. If this is really supposedly part of Wade's continuity, and we ignore his ability to break the fourth-wall, this means he was a young man 40 years ago… and died. Had his head lopped clean off by Wolverine. We also know Origins' technical timeline ended with a Sentinel apocalypse by 2020, and given the X-Men are healthier and happier than we may have ever seen them before in Deadpool 2… this seems unlikely.
I can imagine what you think as you read the above subhead… "But Deadpool 2 acknowledges Logan in the opening scene!" And in terms of fourth-wall humor, it sure as hell does: Wade keeps an action figure of an impaled Hugh Jackman lovingly by his suicide-bedside. And yet, that doesn't change the fact that their ideas of our current timeline don't add up whatsoever.
Last year's Logan was grim. Elegiac even was the word thrown around by many, including myself. It's a kind of eulogy and Irish wake for both Jackman's tenure in superhero cinema and the concept of superheroes themselves. And to bring that point to a head within its narrative, Jackman and writer-director James Mangold settled on an approach where an unknown number of the X-Men are dead, the rest are in hiding, including Wolverine and Charles Xavier, and mutants are nigh extinct due to government social engineering in our food.
That film is set in 2029. While we're still 11 years away from its ending, the shock of a character like Dafne Keen's Laura (X-23) being introduced in the film is that no mutants have been born in over 10 years. She's a Children of Men like miracle to Charles Xavier and Logan. And yet, not so long before this film, mutants are flourishing in Deadpool 2. So much so that local authorities treat the X-Men as welcomed specialists when it comes time to handle a dangerous new adolescent mutant like Julian Dennison's Russell.
Instead of looking like they're on the brink of collapse in a world that hates them so much the government and corporations will conspire their ruin—and with a mutant patriarch so old he's on the precipice of dementia—we are in a setting with a spry McAvoy as Xavier leading a flourishing and beloved national institution.
So where does Deadpool 2 fit in the X-Men movie timelines? Hell if we know! And frankly, we don't think Wade cares, so you shouldn't either! Just enjoy the ride, and if you want to fix it, you better start playing some "Turn Back Time" and hope Deadpool comes a-running.

We Welcome Students, Families and Community To
Hawai'i's First Public Conversion Charter School (Act 2/2002)
Our Past 100 Years
While there was a school for the children of Waimea as far back as the mid-1800s, Waimea School as we know it today began in 1916 for students in grades K-12. Today there are two schools side-by-side: Waimea Elementary (PK-5) and Waimea Middle (6-8). The schools celebrated their centennial in 2016.
In 2003, Waimea Middle School became Hawai'i's first Public Conversion Charter School under a new law passed by the State Legislature. The intention was to secure greater local control over curriculum and resources through active collaboration internally and with the State Department of Education (DOE) and many more community partners. This new law created the not-for-profit Ho'okako'o Corporation, which serves as our Local School Board and works in partnership with the Board of Education and the Hawai'i Public Charter School Commission.
Our Present
WMS is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) through 2020. Also, during 2017, WMS was approved for a new Three-Year Charter Contract by the Hawai'i Public Charter School Commission through June 30, 2020. Together, these require stringent academic, organizational and financial accountability and a continuous commitment to improvement.
Keaoākea STEAM Learning Center
In 2004, our community began to dream about "real" science labs and improved technology to better prepare students for the 21st century world and workplace. We worked with our legislators, DOE and community to secure planning-design funds in 2007 and construction funds in 2013 and 2014, totaling $15.89 million. We formally dedicated and opened this new learning center on Jan. 8, 2018. This is the first major facilities improvement for Waimea public school children in 30 years!
Our new STEAM (Science - Technology - Engineering - Arts/'Aina - Math) Learning Center includes a Makerspace, Demonstration Lab, Broadcast Studio, science laboratories and general classrooms. There is also an outdoor amphitheater for more integrated learning experiences with the adjacent Mala'ai School Garden. Our vision is that this new building will become a hub of STEAM teaching and learning for the entire community, supporting professional development for teachers from across the island and capitalizing on innovative technology and the cultural expertise of the region to inspire students to pursue 21st century careers.
We are deeply grateful to all of our public policy leaders for funding this new learning center on behalf of the taxpayers of Hawai'i. We thank our teachers and staff for their dedication to providing meaningful place-, project- and culture-based STEAM teaching and learning. And we thank our students for naming the building: Keaoākea (Expansive Knowledge).
But there's more to know...
Our Future: Launching Our Public School Children into the 21st Century World & Workplace!
Waimea is a community of great beauty, resources and rich cultural heritage. But there exists a huge economic and technology gap. This is the "story" of Waimea Middle School: With 250 6th-8th grade students, nearly 70% of our families struggle with poverty. Also, 55% are native Hawaiian; 11% have special education services; 22% qualify for Migrant Education and 4% are English Language Learners.
Inspired by this great need for academic supports and progress, our teachers and staff are risk-takers: As mentioned previously, they voted to became a public conversion charter school in 2003 to gain more control over curriculum, supports and resources to better serve students. This has resulted in progress on state academic assessments. However, our children still struggle. Only 46% were proficient in reading in spring 2017 and 29% were proficient in math. Further, the gap is even more pronounced when comparing high needs students (economically disadvantaged, ELL and special education) to non-high needs students.
Also, we have experienced a decline in attendance. In 2014-15, our average daily attendance was 94% so there was a small percentage of chronic absenteeism. Our current rate of chronic absenteeism is 28%.
Clearly, we must better address student needs and engagement to boost academic achievement and we are working to do this by revising curriculum, instruction and assessment and investing in professional development. The "centerpiece" of this effort revolves around our new Keaoākea STEAM Learning Center.
Why is Keaoākea so significant? Middle school is the crucial time to instill higher level thinking and deeper content knowledge so that students can be successful in high school and beyond. We view the STEAM Learning Center as our "bridge" to better engaging students and improving academic outcomes. But ironically, this new building has very little new 21st century technology.
We ask the community's help.
And some meaningful help has come forward: We are extremely grateful that our State legislators secured a $298,000 Grant In Aid for STEAM technology and training during the 2018 session. We are now working to secure release these funds. We also are asking other funders and foundations, and we have already raised more than $200,000, including support from Kamehameha Schools. But we need about $1 million over the next 2+ years to significantly improve outcomes for Waimea children.
There are many ways to contribute. These range from donating funds for specific technology or equipment, supporting our tech team with deployment of technology and training for teachers and/or students, "adopting" a classroom or the Makerspace, Demonstration Lab or Broadcast Studio, supporting project-based learning activities or STEAM-related professional development for teachers. We also could use outdoor learning space structures and equipment.
We welcome your help -- the students of Waimea Middle School need and deserve it.

"Work" Playlist 101
7 July 2016 | Michael Johnpoll
Originally, this was going to be an intro to Japanese music by way of some of the more popular artists out there… but I don't want to pretend to know more about a subject than I do, so I'm settling on an intro to my Work playlist. The set includes just about everything and there isn't really a rhyme or reason to it.
Don't mistake this as an attempt to critique any of the music included or to make statements about how good or not a song is… It's a list. There isn't even a proper order except the one implied by the order of the list itself.
As always, I go out of my way to make life easy. There's a YouTube playlist all set up here, or if you want to read my comments, I also have the videos all lined up below.
LINKED HERE!
Ride on Shooting Star
The Pillows' Ride on Shooting Star is the only place I can really start. I'd be lying if I didn't mention how it evokes in me memories of that oddest of shows, FLCL, but The Pillows hold their own without having to rely on another medium to support their music.
If The Pillows are your style, and you're looking for more along Japanese rock and punk, check out their other music, Please, Mr. Lostman and Terminal Heaven's Rock.
Tabi no Tochuu
Natsumi Kiyoura's Tabi no Tochuu served as the opening track for the 2008-09 anime adaptation of the light novel series Spice and Wolf (and if you follow my earlier blog, you'll remember me, quite rightfully, calling S&W "medieval economics: the anime").
What this song does outside of reinforcing the themes of the story that made use of it, is to tell a story unto itself. And I don't know about you, but I like my music to have a little prosic flair to it.
If English is more you're style but you want the same song, Amanda Lee did a fantastic cover a few years back (long before she was cool and internet famous).
Utada Hikaru has been a favorite artist of mine for a number of years now, dating back to that first time I remember thinking to myself, "I want to hear that song from Kingdom Hearts again." I don't intend to downplay her beautiful music or talent, but neither music nor anime were at the forefront of my mind in 2004; in fact, neither were really even considerations outside the fact that music permeates life and anime was all Toonami showed (the best stuff on TV back then).
In addition to Beautiful World, I'd recommend this incredibly high-concept music video of her's for Hikari, A much more recent single Sakura Nagashi, and, if you want more of a small taste of her equally prodigious English language catalog, her cover of Green Day's Boulevard of Broken Dreams is worth a listen.
I didn't bother finding a version of Ready Steady Go that wasn't one with the faces of Edward and Alphonse Elric plastered over it. There wasn't any point. I found myself enthralled, perhaps for the first time, when I heard this high-energy, strangely foreign but still familiar, track by L'arc~en~Ciel.
For something in the same ballpark, listen to Afromania's Let's Go Together, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION's Yuugure no Aka, or TommyHeavenly6's PAPERMOON.
For comparison, think R.E.M. or, if you want to stretch, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones.
Maybe it's because I really enjoyed the anime adaptation of Hayate no Gotoku; maybe it's because the show is basically Japanese Seinfeld; maybe it's because KOTOKO has some catchy sounds.
On the scale of "is this J-pop enough?" I'd say it outweighs the rest of this list by a bit. Other examples under a similar umbrella: KOTOKO's Shichitenhakki Shijou Shugi, and Supercell's Black Rock Shooter.
Only My Railgun
Higher energy, more like dance music than anything else. Often associated with the flashiest of videos, scenes and meant to hook the audience.
Differing from the above by only the closer ties to electronic music – and there's nothing wrong with some fanciful electronic music. Other examples include Aya Hirano's Super Driver, Mami Kawada's PSI-Missing, Altima's Burst the Gravity and T.M.Revolution and Nana Mizuki's Preserved Roses.
&Z
I'll be the first to admit, sometimes the music I listen to is, without question, gibberish. But nonsense can be an art form unto itself when applied properly. SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]:mizuki's &Z (and z) is part word salad, part story. I'll leave it up to the listener to decide what she's saying.
In this same vein: Hitomi's Innocent Days (vocalization I've never been able to make sense of, let alone find lyrical content), Yuki Kajiura's We Have To Defeat It (which has lyrics, but they're vaguely Latin or Arabic gibberish), and Sawano's aLIEz (a masterpiece of Japanese, Chinese, English and German gibberish and/or high-concept lyrical content that requires gumption and a Doctoral degree in a dozen Humanities-related fields to decipher).
Note: Amanda Lee and Molli at Radient Records have made a point to try and figure out this song. They're moderately successful.
Origa's Rise is something that found me when I started watching Ghost in the Shell (given the image of Motoko Kusanagi, I'd think it was obvious). But Origa's other music kept me listening.
I don't really know many similar western songs (or at least I can't think of many off the top of my head).
False Regeneration
During the rising action phase of violence in The End of Evangelion, Evangelion Unit Two suddenly, and without any reason that science could confirm, reactivated and went on a five minute rampage that resulted in hundreds of deaths.
And that's not as bad as it gets.
Point is, there's a great deal of fine orchestral music to be found in Japanese media. Yoko Shimomura's Dearly Beloved, Ryuichi Takada and Satoru Kosaki's Rekishi no Tenkanten (Converging Point of History), Hayato Matsuo's Letzte Battalion, and Nakagawa Kotaro's Black Knights.
This is just an extra. Because Excalibur. Fool.
Reddit Sings Cruel Angel's Thesis
26 May 2015 | Michael Johnpoll
So maybe I spend too much time on Reddit. I guess I haven't spent enough time there, because this post about submitting recording of Cruel Angel's Thesis to mix them into a single session came and went in about three week's time. I might have noticed if I bothered to look, but as it is I did not participate in this grand exploration of what Evangelion means: that is to say – a grand unification of voices akin to the true ending of the series. And the Fightstar reference was just a bonus. All in all, I give the mixing a 4/5, the bonus at the end brings that to 5/5, and the spirit of the session gets one hundred and seventy one points.
"Out of how many?"
Anyway, here's the song.


What a way to start my reading journey with Kandi Steiner. My book sisters have been talking about this author for a long time. One of my reading goals for 2018 is to read as many new authors as possible. I decided it was time for me to escape in a Kandi Steiner book. Holy Crapola! Do I know how to pick or what?!?!?! I decided to make What He Doesn't Know my first read by this author. I knew before starting my reading journey that this book would end in a cliffhanger. What I did not know ... that I was going to be an emotional mess!!!
When I read the blurb for this book, I was fascinated. I wanted to know what Charlie was talking about. I wanted to learn about her journey and I was cheering for her from beginning to end. Love triangle stories are not my thing at all. I always end up with tears rolling down my face. I get emotionally attached with all the characters that are involved. Each of these characters have their own story to tell.
Cameron, Charlie and Reese's story will leave you gasping for air! Charlie is torn between her husband and a blast from her past. Charlie and Cameron's marriage has gone through some very difficult moments. She's stuck in a place where she feels lost. Until Reese comes back into her life. He's the boy who stole her heart many years ago and she never forgot him. As days go by, Charlie and Reese's connection grows stronger. Her heart is whispering two different melodies. Which one will she choose?
This was such an intense and emotional story. My heart broke for all these characters. Their POV each brought something to the story that I did not expect. They each have their own battle to win and I'm absolutely cheering for all of them. I know who I want Charlie to end up with. Please take note that this book ends in a cliffhanger. That ending destroyed me!!! I can't wait to for the next and final installment in the What He Doesn't Know Duet. My tissues and chocolate is ready! I know without a doubt that it will be an emotional finale. If you have not read a book by Kandi Steiner, you are seriously missing out!
I give, What He Doesn't Know, by Kandi Steiner, 4.5 angsty, page-turning, all-consuming stars!

Carl Wilhelm Eugen Stenhammar (February 7, 1871 – November 20, 1927) was a Swedish composer, conductor and pianist.
Stenhammar was born in Stockholm, and was the brother of architect Ernst Stenhammar. He received his first musical education in Stockholm. He then went to Berlin to further his studies in music. He became a glowing admirer of German music, particularly that of Richard Wagner and Anton Bruckner. Stenhammar himself described the style of his First Symphony in F major as "idyllic Bruckner". He subsequently sought to emancipate himself and write in a more "Nordic" style, looking to Carl Nielsen and Jean Sibelius for guidance. The latter's Symphony No. 2, especially, had a great effect on him, leading him to change his style and refuse to refer to his First Symphony as anything but a trivial piece.
From 1906 to 1922 he was Artistic Director and chief conductor of the Gothenburg Symphony, the first full-time professional orchestra in Sweden. In this capacity, he organised many performances of music by contemporary Scandinavian composers. In 1909, he briefly held the position of director of music at Uppsala University, where he was succeeded the following year by Hugo Alfvén.
Wilhelm Stenhammar died of a stroke at 56 years of age in Jonsered in the historic province of Västergötland. He is buried in Gothenburg.
His works were quite varied and included two completed symphonies, a substantial Serenade for Orchestra, two piano concertos, four piano sonatas, a violin sonata, six string quartets, many songs and other vocal works, including several large-scale works for chorus or voices and orchestra: the early ballad Florez och Blanzeflor, Op. 3, written around 1891, Ithaka, Op. 21, from 1904, the cantatas Ett folk (A people) from 1905 and Sången (The song), Op. 44, from 1921.
Writing in The Chamber Music Journal, R.H.R. Silvertrust notes that Stenhammar's six string quartets are the most important written between those of Johannes Brahms and Béla Bartók. Whether or not this is so, there is no denying that Stenhammar's quartets represent a very important development during the twenty-five years he was writing chamber music. Tonally, they range from the middle late Romantics to a style akin to mature Sibelius. Though not unknown by the Swedish chamber music public, his string quartets have been neglected elsewhere. In 2008 Musikaliska konstföreningen published the world premiere edition of his Allegro Brillante for piano quartet composed in 1891 and his Allegro non tanto for piano trio composed in 1895.
Stenhammar was considered the finest Swedish pianist of his time. Pianists who venture into the realm of the string quartet often wind up writing compositions which sound as though they were composed at, and are perhaps better played on, the piano. That Stenhammar's works show no such trait is because for nearly half of his life, he worked intimately with the Aulin Quartet, the top Swedish string quartet of his day and one of the best then performing in Europe. In fact, he toured throughout Europe with them for many years and a piano quintet was nearly always featured on their programmes. Thus it is no accident that his quartets show a fine grasp of instrumental timbre and technique. The part writing is sure, always idiomatic and evenly distributed.
Stenhammar recorded five piano rolls for Welte-Mignon on 21 September 1905.

Remembering SS Mendi - 21st Feb 1917
By: Melanie Johnson
The SA Diaspora UK hosted a remembrance service for the South African Native Labour Corps #SANLC in Southampton on Saturday 24th Feb 2018 in which I was honoured to be invited to speak at the ceremony.
On 21st February 1917, Mendi sank killing 646 people, most of whom were black South African troops, when a large cargo steamship, Darro, collided with Mendi in the English Channel south of the Isle of Wight. (pic by SAHO)
Their role was to build the railways, trenches, camps and roads upon which the Allied war effort depended. The men had signed up because they believed that, despite being oppressed by the white South African government, if they demonstrated loyalty to the British Empire, it would gain them a voice in their deeply divided land.
A lost life is not a singular thing. What happens to you affects others. I can only imagine the families hearing the news that their loved ones had died on duty so far away from home. The hope that one day by some miracle they would see their loved ones walking into the kraals because after all, there wasn't a body for closure.
Today, I pay tribute to the men that lost their lives in 1917, their families and to our fellow South Africans now, who leave their families, especially young children behind to work in services like the NHS, education and social care services.
We salute you for your bravery, sacrifices and your contribution to the UK and the South African economy. Our warrior spirits live today just as they lived in our brothers 101 years ago!

Q: Creating release build for dynamic framework I am developing a dynamic framework using Xcode 6.4. I am able to generate the debug build for it which is available in the Debug-iphoneos and Debug-iphonesimulator folders under the Products group. However, I am not able to generate the release build for the same framework. I tried editing the scheme but it didn't work.
Also, I don't want to go with the archive option as it works only for non-Simulator devices. I want the release build to work for both Simulators and non-Simulator devices. So, I want the release build to be generated in the Release-iphoneos and Release-iphonesimulator folders similar to how it is for debug builds.
What is the procedure for generating a release build of a framework?
As shown in this screenshot, my Release-iphoneos and Release-iphonesimulator folders remain empty. I want my builds to be output there.

A: Have a look through this post: https://medium.com/@syshen/create-an-ios-universal-framework-148eb130a46c
It's quite an involved process of building a release framework for Device and Simulator.

A: You can produce a release build of your framework for both iphonesimulator and iphoneos devices with the following xcodebuild commands:
xcodebuild -workspace <name of workspace>.xcworkspace -scheme <name of scheme> -configuration Release -sdk iphoneos

xcodebuild -workspace <name of workspace>.xcworkspace -scheme <name of scheme> -configuration Release -sdk iphonesimulator

You can change the value of the -configuration argument from Release to Debug in order to produce a debug build.
Note that you may need to provide the -project argument instead of -workspace if your target is part of an Xcode project only and not part of an Xcode workspace. Run the xcodebuild -help command for the full list of xcodebuild options.
If you want to join up your iphoneos and iphonesimulator builds into a single binary, you can do that with the xcodebuild -create-xcframework command as follows:
xcodebuild -create-xcframework \
    -framework "Release-iphoneos/<name of framework>.framework" \
    -framework "Release-iphonesimulator/<name of framework>.framework" \
    -output "<name of framework>.xcframework"

Note that you may need to set your framework target's Build Libraries for Distribution Build Setting to YES in order to build it as an XCFramework. See here for the official guide to creating an XCFramework.

DataEndure Celebrates 35 years in Business with Industry Recognition and Innovative Services in Data Security
June 20, 2019 | By DataEndure
SAN JOSE, CA, June 20, 2019 – DataEndure, a leading San Jose-based technology integrator and managed services provider helping companies achieve and maintain digital resilience, today celebrates thirty-five years in business. With over $100 million in annual revenue, DataEndure has solidified its position as an innovative solution provider in a fast-moving and rapidly-changing technology landscape. Notable industry honors for DataEndure include recognition as the NetApp Americas Flash Partner of the Year (2019), Actifio's DataDriven Innovation Award (2019) and CIO Magazine's Best Storage Solution Provider of the Year (2018).
Among the company's most recent innovations is its Security Operations Center (SOC) as a service (SOCaaS), a managed security service for organizations of all sizes to implement a true defense-in-depth posture. With over a decade of delivering security services, DataEndure's SOCaaS was launched one year ago in response to the dramatic increase of security incidents and requests for incident response services. The service combines the expertise of DataEndure's compliance-led security practice, which helps organizations identify and solve for security gaps in a fast-changing landscape, along with the added features of automation and continuous monitoring. Taken together, these capabilities offer a wholly proactive security posture, with the significant time and resource savings of a managed service.
"The technology space has shifted massively in the last three decades," says DataEndure CTO and CISO Shahin Pirooz. "As data has proliferated and risks have increased, there is a commensurate need and challenge in attaining true digital resilience. You should be able to survive and thrive during any attack, whether that attack be cyber, weather, systems, or otherwise. DataEndure's SOC-as-a-Service is an invaluable addition for companies who need seasoned security experts to respond to today's threats as they happen, and to anticipate the risks that we haven't yet imagined."
The need for increased vigilance is undeniable, as threat actors evolve and attack methods become more sophisticated. As one example, Verizon catalogued over two thousand confirmed data breaches from just over seventy data sources worldwide in its 2019 Data Breach Investigations Report. DataEndure SOCaaS clients including commercial HVAC contractor Therma and charitable organization Second Harvest Food Bank have been able to harden their digital security posture while staying focused on their core competencies.
"Our priority is to deliver innovative mechanical solutions to our clients, on time and on budget. If our data is in any way compromised, our mission is at risk," states Therma COO Mike Fisher. "DataEndure's SOCaaS strengthens our security posture, serving as a sentry, with expert tools and talent at work on our behalf, protecting us from known and unknown threats that could render us inoperable."
"Digital resilience is the guiding principle of everything we do, which allows companies of all sizes to have confidence in the security and availability of their data now and in the future," says CEO Kurt Klein. "DataEndure has taken the lead on helping our clients understand and adapt proactively to the rapidly-shifting technology landscape over the last 35 years. We're proud to have demonstrated time and again our ability to grow and innovate with new offerings such as our SOC-as-a-Service."

That Sinking Feeling: How Newcastle United Blew A 12-Point Lead And Broke My 10-Year-Old-Heart
Twenty years ago this summer, Kevin Keegan's Newcastle United somehow blew a 12-point lead to finish second to Manchester United in the Premier League. It was among the most heart-breaking capitulations in the history of football, and it was made by one of the most exciting — if eccentric — teams ever to play it. This is the story of "The Entertainers", how they won the hearts of the nation and fell tragically short, taking the innocence of the Premier League, as well as the dreams of 10-year-old Sam Parker, with them.
By Sam Parker
THE DEMOLITION
Newcastle 6-1 Wimbledon
(21 October, 1995)
Everyone remembers it as the one when Vinnie Jones had to go in goal for Wimbledon, but that was just one moment in an astonishing game that told you everything you needed to know about "The Entertainers", the greatest team that never won the Premier League.
Joe Kinnear's "Crazy Gang" were the hardest outfit in England. "They'd try and intimidate you," remembers John Beresford, Newcastle's left-back at the time. "We'd struggled against them in the past."
At St James' Park, their home ground, the Toon were in fine form and out for revenge. It was game 10 in a season that had already surprised and gripped the nation. Kevin Keegan's Newcastle — who just three seasons ago had narrowly escaped relegation to the old Third Division — were sitting proudly at the top of the table with a four-point lead, having won eight games and lost just one. They were the 1996 equivalent of this year's title-chasing Leicester City, except that Newcastle, unlike organised, sensible Leicester, were going to do it the hard way: without bothering to defend.
"I remember it was a beautiful day," says Steve Howey, the team's big centre-back. "Everyone in the crowd had their strip on. It was black and white all over."
It is Howey, of all people, who rises at the far post on the half-hour mark to make it 1–0. Four minutes later, David Ginola whips a ball in from the left for Les Ferdinand's forehead, with the precision of a guided missile — goal. It remains 2–0 for only six minutes, as Ferdinand finds himself on the scoresheet again — it's almost an exact replica of his first goal, only this time the assist is from a Keith Gillespie cross on the right.
"The supply line was unbelievable," remembers Ferdinand of that stage in the season. "They always seemed to find me."
Four-four-two: Ginola on the left; Gillespie on the right; Ferdinand up front with Beardsley tucked in just behind. Pace on the wings, crosses into the box, players under order to attack, attack, attack. Keegan's blueprint had always been simple — buy good players and score more than the opposition — and today it was working better than ever. Ten minutes into the second-half and Wimbledon's keeper Paul Heald is booked for the second time. That's when Vinnie Jones pulls on the goalkeeper's jersey and everything gets a bit surreal. The no-nonsense midfielder pulls off a couple of saves, pounds his gloved hands together and screams from the adrenaline.
The resistance lasts just three further minutes. Lee Clark collects the ball on the edge of the penalty area and hits a shot that looks like it would rise forever if it wasn't stopped by the roof of the goal. Jones simply stands and watches it go in, as much a spectator as those in the stands.
At 4–0, Marcus Gayle pulls one back, but three minutes later Ferdinand scores a tap-in and gets his hat-trick.
"I just looked around and thought: we've got a good team here," says Rob Lee, the team's dynamic midfielder. In the stands, upwards of 36,000 Geordies were singing in rare winter sunshine and starting to think exactly the same thing.
There is just time left for Philippe Albert, the towering Belgian centre-back, to do one of his regular centre-forward impressions. He plays a one-two with Lee, ventures into the Wimbledon box and uses the outside of his left boot to curl the ball past Jones and into the top corner. 6–1. "It was one of those games where if we'd got double figures, no one would have grumbled," says Gillespie.
It's the biggest win of the season so far, the sixth game in 10 that we've scored three or more. But it doesn't feel a big deal. It's just what happens to Newcastle United on a Saturday: we score, we win.
On 6 July, 1995, six weeks before the start of the season, David Ginola sat down for his first press conference as a Newcastle United player. The winger had signed from Paris Saint-German where he'd enjoyed a glittering, trophy-laden career. Ginola recounts, "The journalists said to me, 'David Ginola, can you tell us who you are'. Tell us who you are! I was player of the year in France, do you know what I mean? I thought to myself, 'Oh my God, where am I?'"
The winger was the toast of European football and had attracted serious interest from Spanish heavyweights FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. But somehow, he had ended up agreeing to play for a team in the North East of England.
"I arrived at Durham for my first training session and we were sharing the dressing room with the local university team," Ginola remembers. "The pitch was next to a cricket ground. It was like going back to being an amateur." Again the Frenchman asked himself: what the hell am I doing here?
The answer was Kevin Keegan. Every player from that period has a version of the same story: they met him and within minutes they knew that they were going to sign. Part of it was who he was as a player: England captain, Liverpool hero, twice European Footballer of the Year, the man whose picture many had pinned to their walls growing up. But mostly it was the boldness of what Keegan wanted to do: win the league, yes. Replace Manchester United as the dominant force in English football, why not? But more than that, he was going to do it in style.
Kevin Keegan and David Ginola in 1996
"Kevin told me the way he wanted to play," remembers Ferdinand, who signed the same summer as Ginola and was a replacement for Andy Cole, who had departed during the previous transfer window, signing for Manchester United.
"He said he was building a team to fight for the title, and he wanted to make sure I knew what wearing the number nine shirt meant to the people. I didn't really know what he was on about until I scored at St James' Park. The euphoria around the stadium was something else."
Ginola felt the same thing. "Keegan said to me, 'David, I'll give you the freedom to do what you want, to create the game,'" he says. "I decided then to sign and to give him everything I could. People in France said I had made a mistake, but I wanted to prove them wrong."
Joining Ginola and Ferdinand in pre-season was Shaka Hislop, the goalkeeper, and Warren Barton, who at £4m was then the most expensive defender in English football. After finishing third and then sixth in an erratic first two seasons in the Premiership, Keegan now had the squad he needed to play what, in his mind, was the only football worth playing.
"I remember Kevin saying all the time: football is entertainment," says Rob Lee. "Go out and entertain the crowd. They've worked hard all week and paid a lot of money to be here. So attack relentlessly for the first 20 minutes and give them something to cheer about. Usually, we were one or two-nil up in that time and it was game over. He hated it when we played crap football. Hated it."
"Kev's team talks were brief," remembers John Beresford. "He'd get the team sheet off the ref, walk in to the dressing room, look at it for a bit and go, 'Jesus, if we're not 2–0 up after five minutes against this lot, there's something wrong.' Then he'd screw it up and throw it in the bin."
Keegan had built a side with real quality, but he was giving them something even more important: belief.
"I remember the feeling in the city that summer," says George Caulkin, North East football correspondent for The Times and a lifelong fan of the club. "There was this extraordinary electricity and positivity in the air," he says. "Football in the North East has always mirrored the rhythm of the city, there's always been this explosion at the end of a working week. And at the time, this joyous thing was happening in front of you."
By Christmas 1995, Newcastle were 10 points clear and looking untouchable. Keegan's infectious love for the game and the area had created a powerful bond between the players and the fans, and now the rest of the country was starting to sense it, too. The league title going to Tyneside was becoming increasingly likely with every game.
There was just one man, 151 miles south-west in Manchester, with an enigmatic Frenchman and a team full of English kids still finding their feet, who tended to disagree.
THE WARNING SIGN
Manchester United 2–0 Newcastle United
(27 December, 1995)
It is a freezing cold Wednesday night, two days after Christmas. The Old Trafford pitch is covered in a layer of frost, and in the stands steam lingers on everyone's breath as they watch the top two sides in England warm up. Below them, Kevin Keegan and Alex Ferguson walk together down the pitch towards the dugout. Keegan is wearing an over-sized training top with a big Newcastle United badge on it. He is smiling and chatting and staring wide-eyed around the stadium, drinking in the atmosphere. Ferguson, in a black overcoat with the collar up, nods and stares straight ahead.
Manchester United haven't won in five league games. Newcastle have won two in a row after defeating Everton and Nottingham Forest, and if they win tonight, they'll move a staggering 13 points clear.
The Red Devils start strongly: Roy Keane tests Pavel Srníček from range. The Newcastle players seem sluggish but the away end isn't worried yet. Then it happens, what will become perhaps the most familiar sight in English football over the next 10 years: a Manchester United counter-attack.
Ryan Giggs collects the ball on the edge of his own box, runs the length of pitch and plays a defence-splitting pass that picks out Andy Cole in open space down the right. His first-time shot is fired straight into the bottom corner. Cole, the reluctant Tyneside hero sold by Kevin Keegan only 11 months earlier, has scored with less than six minutes gone. The United fans begin singing the Andy Cole song — our Andy Cole song: "He gets the ball and scores a goal, Andy, Andy Cole!" Watching, I experience a sensation I will recognise a little later in life the first time I see an ex-girlfriend snogging someone else.
It's end-to-end stuff, but seven minutes into the second-half Manchester United score again. Phil Neville pings it to the far post and Roy Keane calmly takes a touch and slots it in. There will be no big response from the Newcastle players.
"We didn't really show up that day," remembers Gillespie, who was returning to his former club for the first time but was stretchered off after 15 minutes with an injury that would have devastating repercussions for Newcastle in the coming months. "United deserved the victory."
The final whistle blows and Ferguson — all smiles now — takes out his chewing gum and finds Keegan for a brief handshake. It is the last time in this campaign the two men will be friendly towards each other. A 10-point lead has been reduced to seven. But it's OK. You can't win them all. We win the next five anyway, restoring the lead to 12 points by the end of January. No team has ever been this far in front so late in the season. No team has ever lost from here. All we have to do is keep going.
Six weeks after that defeat, Kevin Keegan makes the most controversial signing of his career. Despite being implored by the board to sign a defender, Keegan instead bought a maverick Colombian centre-forward called Faustino Asprilla from Italian side Parma for a fee of £6.7m. Keegan's solution to dropping points was not to shore things up at the back, but to load even more firepower into his attack.
Firepower is the right word. "Tino" arrived with a reputation for two things: staggering, if mercurial, talent as a footballer, and a hedonistic streak that extended beyond women and booze to a suspended prison sentence for discharging an unlicensed firearm.
Colombian Faustino Asprilla arriving at Newcastle in his legendary fur coat, January 1996
As the 26-year-old's first act in England was to be photographed walking out of Newcastle airport in the middle of a snowstorm wearing a giant fur coat, he became a cult hero immediately. Tino made his debut for the club away at Middlesbrough and for the fans it was love at first sight. For his bizarre dribbling style, he was nicknamed "The Octopus". When facing defenders, he seemed constantly on the verge of falling over. He scared opposition defences not so much in the manner of a hard man who might hurt them, but a crazy man who might hurt himself. Everyone in the squad warmed to Asprilla, who was as mischievous and eccentric off the pitch as he was on it.
"I was very close to Tino," remembers Ginola. "He lived about 200 yards from my house. Once in a while, around midnight, the phone would ring and it would be him saying, 'David, David, can you come, can you come?' So, I'd head over in my pyjamas and he'd say, 'Can you get all of these people out of my house, please?' These were people he'd met in the pubs when he was drinking, but Tino didn't speak English well enough to ask them to leave, so I'd have to do it."
Tino's arrival was explosive, but it disrupted what until that point had been a finely balanced team. Beardsley was shifted to the right to let the Colombian slot in behind Ferdinand, but for all his class, the 35-year-old Beardsley was no winger. Newcastle's number eight naturally drifted in and played narrow, keeping the recovered Gillespie out of the team for the rest of the season and cutting off the supply line to Newcastle's greatest weapon: Les Ferdinand's head. It was a tactical gamble that would pay off in some matches but have the opposite effect in others, dependant upon which Tino decided to turn up on the day.
"He was different," remembers Beresford. "You're going for the title and you've got all this pressure on and you've got someone who can fall over the ball one minute, then be the best player in the world and get you a goal the next. I could see why Keegan liked him, the unpredictability of it. But I think he put him in the side too quickly."
THE SMASH AND GRAB
Newcastle United 0–1 Manchester United
(4 March, 1996)
A deafening war cry erupts from the stands as the players run out onto the pitch. It is the biggest crowd of the season so far (36,584), and St James' Park is a furnace. "We were looking forward to that game so much," Steve Howey says. "We knew we'd have too much for them — and we did."
"We were outstanding. We battered them," says Rob Lee.
"We totally outplayed them," insists Les Ferdinand.
"We blitzed them," says John Beresford.
We lost.
Football is the beautiful game, and it is the cruellest. Domination counts for nothing. Superiority is irrelevant. And ultimately, eight shots on target becomes just a footnote. You have to score.
Newcastle have Ferguson's men by the throat from the first minute until halftime. It isn't just the directness of the attacks carving Manchester United apart, it's full-throttled tackles flying in from everywhere. Every touch, every run, every pass is a loaded gun.
In the dressing room, an unusually intense Keegan had told his team, "Go out there and prove you're better than them." One man, however, won't let them — Peter Schmeichel, the goalkeeper for the away side, who somehow keeps his head when all about are losing theirs.
Ferdinand has a couple of one-on-one chances but every time the great Dane is quicker and bigger than before, diving at his feet, smothering shots, catching rebounds. He denies Beardsley at full stretch when the midfielder curls a shot from the edge of the box. Philippe Albert smashes a free kick off the woodwork from 25 yards. Tino blasts a shot from the edge of the area and Ferdinand has two further chances. Schmeichel keeps everything out. The whistle blows for halftime and somehow it is still nil–nil.
"I remember Les Ferdinand coming in at halftime and apologising to the lads," says Beresford. "But it wasn't as though he missed the chances. Schmeichel just saved them. It was just freaky what he was doing."
Some of the worst blows you take in life are the ones you don't see coming. Six minutes into the second half, Phil Neville chips a cross to Eric Cantona at the far post. Beresford scrambles to block it but it's too late: the Frenchman volleys the ball into ground where it bounces past Pavel Srníček and into the bottom corner. It is his first meaningful touch of the match.
Keegan — never much of a poker player — is now sitting with his arms and legs crossed, his crumpled face saying what we are all thinking: how? How on Earth did this happen? Deflated, bewildered, Newcastle begin to wilt.
The whistle blows on our first home league defeat of the season. Having been 12 points in front just four games ago, Newcastle's lead has now been reduced to one.
The Entertainers didn't just belong to us. They were everyone else's second team. As with the previous unifying moment in English football — the afterglow of World Cup 1990's Gazzamania — a joyous, child-like approach to the game had filtered down from the North East and softened the partisan nature of the sport. In Keegan and his team, the country found the embodiment of all that was infectious about football.
"As a confirmed Southerner, I can tell you how true that was," says Nick Collins, Sky Sports News chief football reporter, who followed the 1995–'96 season closely. "I tended to watch the Monday night games in London, and no matter who Newcastle were playing, the pub wanted Newcastle and Keegan to win. They were an extraordinarily popular team. There was an aura about the side, a real identity. The nation took a stake in Newcastle that year."
Ferdinand remembers the feeling clearly, "I used to come back to London and people would say to me, 'I don't support Newcastle but any time they're on the box I get home to watch it'. And they did that because they knew they were going to see a game of football that would entertain them. And it's not as though we were financial underdogs punching above our weight. We were one of the biggest spending clubs of the era."
"The difference to today," says Times man Caulkin, "is that although we did spend big, it wasn't like the money had come from the outside, like Chelsea or Manchester City today. There were no sugar daddies. The money we spent, through [chairmen] Freddy Shepherd and Sir John Hall, was generated by a massive stadium filled with passionate fans. They were speculating to accumulate."
If Newcastle's early stampede up the table that year won the respect of rival fans, one game in particular was about to write The Entertainers into the affections of almost everyone who followed English football. It would go on to be voted the greatest game in the history of the Premier League, though for Geordies, the memory would remain bittersweet.
THE GREATEST (AND WORST) GAME OF ALL TIME
Liverpool 4–3 Newcastle United
(3 April, 1996)
Kevin Keegan sits in the dugout wearing a red blazer and tie, pensively looking over the Anfield pitch. His team has been knocked off the top of the Premiership table for the first time this season and are now three points behind Manchester United, albeit with two games in hand. Publicly, he has said he refuses to change his philosophy and curb Newcastle's attacking game. Privately, there is acknowledgement that after the defeats at home to Manchester United and in the last game away at Arsenal, the team needs to shore up things at the back. Newcastle's priority here is simple: avoid a defeat.
"That was the plan," Ferdinand remembers. "The one thing we said before the game was let's keep it tight. We're at Anfield. Let's get the crowd against them. That went out the window within the first five minutes."
Instead what follows, after Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler heads the ball past Pavel Srníček on the two-minute mark, is a game that will set the title race on fire.
"It was like we were playing at 110mph," Howey recalls. "There wasn't a moment's breather. They'd have an attack and it would break down, then we'd have an attack and it would break down. Neither team really kept the ball for long."
Less than 10 minutes after Fowler scores, Ferdinand levels with a shot from six yards. Four minutes later, he finds Ginola just inside the Liverpool half: the winger goes around
McAteer, storms into the box and rifles past David James in just four sublime touches. There is still only 15 minutes on the clock.
Ten minutes into the second half, Fowler makes it 2–2. By now, the league's two most romantic sets of supporters are in full voice, aware they're witnessing something special. Two minutes later, Tino scores from 20 yards out, putting Newcastle back in the lead. The Colombian celebrates with one of his trademark forward flips.
There have been many attempts to pinpoint the exact moment when the wheels came off Newcastle United's title bid in the 1995–'96 season, but none are quite as compelling — or dramatic — as minute 57 at Anfield that day.
John Beresford remembers it well. "We're 3–2 up, and I've got McManaman running down my throat and McAteer on the overlap. Any other manager in history would have said: fall back, protect the result. But Kevin was like: go for 4–2, or 4–3! We were ridiculously open."
In minute 68, McAteer whips a dangerous cross into the box that finds Stan Collymore who makes it 3–3. Still, Keegan urges his team to attack.
"The game has come to symbolise the collapse of Newcastle," Nick Collins says. "At 3–2, they should have finished it off. Even at 3–3 you're thinking: this result would be fine, guys!"
For Kevin Keegan, though, the thought of drawing 3–3 with Liverpool at Anfield and not trying to find the winner simply didn't compute. Drawing with Liverpool at Anfield and then swapping an attacking player for the defender to protect the point is not what football is about. So with 10 minutes to go, Keegan brings on Darren Peacock for Howey (a central defender for a central defender) and orders his team to find a winner.
Stoppage time begins. Veteran centre-forward Ian Rush, a Liverpool legend, on as a sub, combines with John Barnes just inside the Newcastle box. Four exhausted Newcastle bodies try to stop them, but no one notices Collymore racing in from the left. Somehow, Barnes angles a left-footed pass out of the mêlée to an unmarked Collymore who smashes past an onrushing Pavel.
It's 4–3. The camera pans to a shot of Keegan that will embed itself in Premier League folklore. The Newcastle manager is slumped over the advertising board in abject despair. His head is down and he is alone. For the first time this year, the Geordie fans are silent.
As a child, I developed a deep hatred of Manchester United — Alex Ferguson in particular — that lasted worryingly long into adulthood. I would savour the rare defeats they suffered like they were the cup final victories I'd never experienced. Automatically, I'd dismiss anyone I met who claimed to support them as second-class citizens.
The genesis of this hatred — which would be augmented over the years by more routine defeats than I care to count and one, sorry FA Cup final in 1999 — was the Keegan rant. Everyone remembers it, as it was voted the Premier League's most memorable moment. With three games to go in their season, Newcastle edged past Leeds with a 1–0 win. Manchester United, with one game left to play at this stage, were relentless. Their league record since Christmas read: played 18, won 14, drawn two, lost two as they prepared to face Middlesbrough away — where a win would secure them the title. But that didn't stop the wily Ferguson winding up his less experienced and emotionally volatile rival in the media by implying teams weren't trying as hard against Keegan's side as they were against his. It was this allegation that finally caused the Newcastle manager to snap.
Talking to the Sky studio team from Elland Road after the Leeds match, and wearing a comically large pair of headphones, Keegan started in his usual amiable manner then suddenly became irate. "I've kept really quiet but I'll tell you something, he went down in my estimation when he said that," he told an astonished Andy Gray, referring to Ferguson's comments, which he felt suggested that Nottingham Forest, Newcastle's next opponents, would give them an easy ride. His voice was quivering.
Keegan then addressed Ferguson directly, with the line that would become his epitaph. "And you can tell him if you're watching it — we're still fighting for this title[….] and I tell you honestly, I will love it if we beat them, love it!"
The rant gave birth to English football's cherished concept of managerial "mind games" and, crucially, the idea Fergie was the master of them. And while the wider world laughed, I was witnessing the sight of a man I love losing his shit — and his dignity. Even today, watching it puts a lump in my throat.
"It was extraordinary," says Nick Collins. "That sort of thing just didn't happen. You couldn't help but get the sense that this was the end of Kevin Keegan."
THE DREAM FINALLY ENDS
Newcastle United 1–1 Tottenham Hotspur
(5 May, 1996)
It is the day before my 11th birthday and I still believe we can do it, even if unbeknownst to me, the players have quietly given up.
"We wanted to go out and give our best and hope for a miracle. But to a man, we felt that was probably it," Les Ferdinand admits.
And Rob Lee agrees: "We knew in our hearts it was gone."
It's the last game of the season, and Newcastle are two points off Manchester United at the top of the table, playing Spurs at home. To claim the title that seemed an inevitability just a few months ago, we have to win and pray that Manchester United — away at Middlesborough — will somehow lose.
In the stands there is still hope. It's a sunny day, and it has been a season of miracles. Why not hold out for another one? The match kicks off and is even, if a little flat. Everyone is only half-watching anyway: it is what's happening in the game 42 miles away at the Riverside Stadium that really matters.
With 15 minutes gone, news filters through from the portable radios smuggled into the stands: David May has scored for Manchester United. Hope siphons out of the stadium like air from a punctured ball. We watch as Newcastle labour to a 1–1 draw, listening to instalments of Manchester United doing what fucking Manchester United always do: win. It ends 3–0, ex-Magpie Andy Cole and Ryan Giggs scoring in a second half that turns into a victory parade for Ferguson's men.
"It's one of those lost innocence things, isn't it?" says Nick Collins. "No one has been that far ahead and not won the title. Nobody had come out and tried to do it the Keegan way before, with such style. We all bought into it.
"As a story it had everything. You just wish it had a happy ending. I remember doing the interviews in the dressing room at 'Boro afterwards," he continues, "with Giggs and everyone, and I couldn't help wishing I wasn't there, that I was talking to the Newcastle players instead. You can only imagine what it would have been like on Tyneside if they'd won."
Kevin Keegan resigned after a boardroom dispute just a few months into the following season. Newcastle have never come as close to the Premier League title again. Over the next 20 years, barring the odd period of resurgence, we would go from the nation's favourite team to its favourite punchline: the mad Geordie fans with their unrealistic expectations and their club lurching from one melodrama to the next.
This is why The Entertainers are still important in the North East. We haven't won a major trophy since 1969 or the top division since 1927, and in truth, we've never deserved to except in 1996. But as Keith Gillespie says, "Very few people can remember who came second two or three years ago, but if you ask you came second in 1996, they always remember that Newcastle side."
Does that count for anything?
One Saturday afternoon more than a decade later, after yet another humiliating Newcastle defeat that left me slumped and fuming in the corner of a pub, my then-girlfriend looked at me with genuine curiosity and asked a question that still haunts me from time to time: why do you keep watching this thing that just makes you miserable every weekend?
I looked at her for a moment, and saw for the first time the utter ludicrousness of it. How pathetic and pitiful it is to surrender your happiness to the whims of a bunch of millionaires playing a stupid game.
But then I began to tell her about Ginola, Les, Pavel, Beardsley. About a man called Kevin Keegan and a year that taught me so much, so quickly, about life. And about the time when we were great.

The Italian Court of Ivrea rules telecom employee to be paid lifetime damages for brain tumor developed after heavy cellphone use.
Teton Village, WY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/26/2017 -- The Italian Court of Ivrea is the first Court in the world to recognize a causal link between cellphone use and brain tumors in an April 11, 2017 ruling that awarded a telecom employee, Roberto Romeo, lifetime damages of 500 euros per month after he developed a brain tumor from fifteen years of cell phone use. The ruling has made international headlines as the court's expert refused to accept telecom industry funded studies as evidence.
"Judgment recognizes the causal link between a brain tumor and the use of a cell phone." This is quoted from the verdict issued by Judge Luca Fadda of the Court of Ivrea. The state social security agency must pay Romeo for the damages from the brain tumor, which resulted in loss of hearing in one ear. He had used the company cellphone for three hours per day for 15 years.
"Recent studies from the U.S National Toxicology Program found that animals develop the same types of tumors that are increased in the brains of long term cell phone users. This research adds to a significant body of evidence finding serious adverse effects from cell phone radiation. We must take steps to reduce exposures at this time," stated Devra Davis, President of the Environmental Health Trust pointing to a recently published 2017 research review by Swedish researchers Michael Carlberg and Lennart Hardell of epidemiology and laboratory studies which concluded that "RF radiation should be regarded as a human carcinogen causing glioma."
"I had no choice but to use my mobile to talk to colleagues and organise work—for 15 years I was calling all the time, from home, in the car," states Romeo as quoted in The Guardian, "I started to have the feeling of my right ear being blocked all the time and the tumour was diagnosed in 2010. Happily, it was benign but I can no longer hear anything because they had to remove my acoustic nerve."
According to the Associated Press, "The Codacons Consumer Protection agency says it is considering a class-action based on the Romeo decision to have cellphones carry health warnings in Italy, and also to have the health risks associated with cellphone use recognized generally by Italy's social security agency."
The court's expert refused to accept into evidence studies that were funded by the telecom industry. Davis pointed to several peer reviewed published research studies that have documented how industry funding is linked to the outcome on cell phone radiation studies. A 2017 literature review and meta-analysis of case–control studies published in Neurological Sciences found a significant correlation between study quality and outcome with higher quality studies showing a statistically significant association between mobile phone use and risk of brain tumor. The source of funding was found to affect the quality of results produced by the studies.
Lawyers Stefano Bertone and Renato Ambrosio stated, "For the first time in the world, a court has recognised a causal link between inappropriate use of a mobile phone and a brain tumour."
EHT is a scientific virtual think tank conducting cutting-edge research on environmental health risks with some of the world's top researchers. EHT educates individuals, health professionals and communities about policy changes needed to reduce those risks. Currently, EHT is addressing health concerns about cell phones and wireless and recommends reducing exposure to reduce risk. The Environmental Health Trust maintains a regularly updated database of worldwide precautionary policies: more than a dozen countries recommend reducing wireless exposure to children.
