Justified Season 6 RayActions – Episode 1, "Fate's Right Hand"
Posted on January 27, 2015 by Rites of Patches
On January 20th, FX's Justified began its sixth and final season. Based on several Elmore Leonard works, Justified follows Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant), a US Marshal who is "exiled" to his hometown of Harlan, Kentucky. Raylan frequently finds himself in conflict with erstwhile mining buddy, now criminal mastermind, Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins), as the two attempt to coexist in a world that seems a little too small for both of them. Justified highlights the local culture and explores numerous themes, such as family, religion, history and the thin line that divides the good guys from the bad.
Join Jeff (of Slazenger1) and me in the coming months as we honor this criminally underrated drama with a series of "RayActions" to each of Justified's Season 6 episodes. These posts will not be particularly formal, but will give us the chance to make some observations and reflect on each episode, likely culminating in a full Season 6 Dead Season Discussion after the finale.
This week's RayAction covers Justified's Season 6 premiere, "Fate's Right Hand." It contains SPOILERS for the entire series of Justified. Fire in the Hole!
Justified is back. And I mean that both literally and figuratively.
First, the literal part. I have missed this show more than any other show on television. I watch Homeland, Always Sunny, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Sherlock, and Game of Thrones. Most of those shows, I can watch when it is convenient. I have no compulsion to watch them NOW. The exception is Game of Thrones, which can sometime be – "oppressive" or "a chore" are too strong, but – heavy. It takes a lot of energy to watch Game of Thrones. It's epic, meaningful, constantly tragic, and most of the time, almost relentless in its humorlessness.
I missed Justified so much because it so effortlessly avoids either problem. It is deep and meaningful and explores important topics and themes, but it's loaded with quirkiness, humor, and local flavor. Justified is a lot like Raylan describes bourbon to a Mexican Federale: It "tastes like a warm summer day."
The figurative "back" is more of a comment on Justified's fifth season. It had its moments – Canadian mobsters Dave Foley and Will Sasso, the surprisingly effective Michael Rapaport, Eric Roberts as the Ghost of Raylan Future, and the spectacular subversion of Danny Crowe's 21 Foot Rule – but Season 5 was, all things considered, the show's weakest season. It was as though the entirety of Season 5 existed just to position everyone for Season 6. Thankfully, "Fate's Right Hand" shows Justified back at it's swaggering, confident self, pointing in any number of equally awesome directions they could go to end the series.
Because "Fate's Right Hand" was a lot more about setting the stage and hinting at possibilities, there's little specific to talk about other than the inevitable death of Dewey Crowe. Let's not pretend it wasn't a minor miracle Dewey survived into S6, but it still carried weight.
First, there's the clear Of Mice and Men reference (wait, wrong one), which is always tragic to anyone who has read the book.
Most importantly, though, Dewey was as close to an innocent as Justified allowed. He's done some awful things, but is too stupid to comprehend them. He's just doing what he's told because the people telling him to do those things are also telling him they are his friends. His death, at Boyd's hand, is a clear indication that Boyd no longer has any use for innocence or nostalgia. He's come to the understanding that ruthlessness is the only thing that will get him out of Harlan alive.
Welcome back, Justified. I've missed you.
What does the future have in store?
For Raylan, it's wrapping up the case around Boyd so he can move down to Florida to be with Winona and his daughter.
For Boyd, it's doing what he must–robbing banks for Mary Steenburgen–so he can get enough money to live comfortably somewhere far away from Kentucky.
These two are the dreamers and planners. Like the men in Boyd's picture, they are the ones looking to the future. Is it because they are stronger or more stubborn? Is it because they are smart, or just lucky? Or is it just some fundamental similarity that spurs them forward from success to questionably-gotten success?
Boyd and Raylan are, and always will be, two sides of a coin, inseparably connected, but in irreconcilable opposition. This season of Justified is going to tell us how the coin lands. However, heads or tails might not be that simple. They may have plans for the future, but they're both looking past one another. Their stories, if not their lives, end with a final confrontation. They don't know it, but we sure do.
Rest in peace, Dewey Crowe. You might have thought you had a dream for the future, but all you wanted was to go back, to relive the glory days. You can't live your life looking backward, whether out of fear or nostalgia. Boyd showed you men with a vision for the future. He told you to look into their eyes and see those dreams for yourself. But those men are dead. So are you. You were damned, failing to look back while staring into the past. It's all coming to an end.
Hey! It's RayAction time! Got a little metaphorical up there, but I beg your indulgence as I am at times taken by my ambitions poetic, especially after watching this show! I love the writing on Justified like I love the writing on Deadwood. I love the fully fleshed out, populated and lived-in world of Justified like I love the world of Parks and Recreation. I don't have a third show to round out this comparison, but I think Deadwood meets Parks is good enough for now, don't you?
I'm really going to miss Dewey, though he got a sendoff similar to the great Jesse James, so there's that. Maybe his death will go down easier knowing that, in one way or another, every other amazing character on this show is going away in just 12 episodes. I think that just makes it worse, especially if Justified sticks the landing.
I'm not going to take up space listing off questions raised by the premiere. We have time to get to those answers. I'll say this: "Fate's Right Hand" felt like a final season premiere. It's all about Raylan, Boyd and Ava, and the future doesn't look bright for at least two of them. Something to remember: the first season began with Raylan shooting Boyd, but it ended with them teaming up and Boyd calling Raylan his "only friend." Sure, there has been a lot of water under the bridge since then, but for as often as Justified's characters reference their history, it might pay for us to remember it too.
I'm so glad this show is back. Here's to 12 more good ones.
Line of the Night
Patches: "Oh, they didn't tell you who I am? I am Dewey goddamn Crowe, and I'm gonna keep on driving so I can save the state of Kentucky and the government of the United States of America another $300,000 for harassment, 'nelgigence,' and general 'mal-fee-essence.' So, have a nice day and kiss my ass." –Dewey Crowe
Jeff: "Any chance I could maybe jam one last bone in you?" –Dewey the romantic
Biggest Question
Patches: During Raylan and Art's little chat, Raylan brings up the possibility of taking on Boyd one-on-one. Art reminds Raylan that "sometimes, the bullet find you." Foreshadowing?
Jeff: Does Boyd trust Ava? If not, how much does he know, and how much is he willing to let slide because of what she means to him and how guilty he feels about last season?
Patches: What's in the box? What's in the box!
Jeff: The script for a Wynn Duffy-centric spinoff (a la Better Call Saul).
Jeff: Is Garrett Dillahunt a lone wolf, or is he working for someone (and is it someone we know)?
Patches: I believe we are all familiar with George Hearst. But seriously, he's a hitman for Dave Foley's Canadian Gangster, out to avenge anyone connected to his partner's death.
Patches: Is there a better combination of animals than "Turtle-Dog?"
Jeff: I'm inclined to say there is, however, I don't know if there is a more Dewey Crowe combination of animals.
Jeff: Tim's pickup has Truck Nutz. Is he now more endearing, less endearing, or is it just right?
Patches: Hey, if it's good enough for Michael Bay, it's good enough for me. Words to live by…
Patches: Can you list one thing more dangerous to American liberty than the banking system?
Jeff: As a staunch supporter of Henry Clay, proponent of the American System, I look favorably upon the idea of a National Bank. I fear that Mr. Crowder and associates may have robbed a state, or local bank. Of course, this is all moot due to Andrew Jackson, the FDIC and the fact that Boyd didn't really take any money. So, sure.
Jeff: What's the over/under on episodes until Raylan and Boyd meet up?
Patches: My money is on them never meeting up and they both live happily ever after. Or 5.5. Take your pick.

There's nothing cool about school, right?
That's what we were thinking when we were contracted to build the new website for Haywood County Schools, a U.S.-based school system in the heart of Tennessee. We were skeptical at first, but we found a project that provided not only one of our greatest challenges, but also one of our greatest rewards.
The rewards are easy to see: helping the teachers and educators that are raising our future—the children.
The challenges were many: from merging an archive from their old, unusually outdated content management system to migrating thousands of pages and designing a modern website that was easy to use for teachers, parents and young students. The first challenge was solved by good, old-fashioned elbow grease. The second led us towards a kid-friendly layout that uses icons and a custom menu to give the website an app-like feel that's easy to understand and use.
By pairing the new Haywood County Schools website with Potato Care, our cloud-based hosting service, we're making sure that attendance stays perfect with minimal downtime. For Haywood County Schools, it's a new look that's keeping them in touch with the times. For us, it's a reminder that—like your favourite teacher— school really can be cool.
As administrator for the Haywood County Schools website, Brownsville, (USA), I have had a great experience with Metal Potato. They have been more than accommodating in design ideas and questions and helped me through learning WordPress, which I had not used before. They were very patient with my questions and gave me all the answers I needed, usually with a video showing me how to make changes to different parts of the website. We are thrilled with our new "look" and I am thrilled that the editing process will be much easier! I really appreciate Metal Potato's help throughout this process.


Some museums may soon offer Google Glass-enabled tours: GuidiGO announced it will be partnering with museums around the world to offer virtual tours optimized for Google Glass.
The partnership is the result of Google's Glass at Work program, which certifies companies that make Glass apps specifically for businesses. GuidiGO was among the first five companies to be selected for the program earlier this week.
Museum visitors who own Google Glass can use the app — the way you would rent an audio tour — and begin by simply saying "start tour." The app uses image recognition to automatically identify works of art and other exhibits, quickly surfacing relevant information about what the wearer is looking at. The app also offers narrated audio guidance and indoor and outdoor navigation to help guide visitors around the museum's grounds.
Right now, it's up to individual museums to sign up for one of the company's licensing options if they want Glass-assisted tours. But the company says it has already been testing the program at two museums in the United States for the last six months with success. Pricing information was not immediately available, but we will update this story as we find out more information.
GuidiGO already has more than 200 tours available to existing Google Glass explorers, and is offering museums the opportunity to offer the tours for free to those who already have Glass.
"We have completely redesigned our solution to take advantage of Glass features and the specific needs of visitors," Damjan Stankovic, GuidiGO's head of user experience, said in a statement. "Via our platform, and with no technical skills, every museum and cultural site can now easily publish their existing content, automatically optimized for Glass."
Those who don't have Glass can try out the company's tours with their iOS and Android apps. GuidiGO is also partnering with museums to offer their own Google Glass that people can borrow for the duration of the tour.

The world economy is still reeling from the effects of the Global Financial Crisis, and one of the major elements of this catastrophic event was a huge increase in lending on residential property by American banks to people who had a low deposit and low incomes. The increased lending fuelled property prices, and when the inevitable property crash occurred, financial institutions and borrowers were left facing huge losses, causing economic instability. To prevent such an occurrence in New Zealand, the Reserve Bank is considering putting restrictions on the amount of lending done by banks where the lending is more than 80% of the value of the property. This arrangement is likely to prevent banks offering second mortgages where the total borrowing is over 80% of the property value.
First home buyers will be most affected by these changes. The Welcome Home Loan Scheme supported by Housing New Zealand is a low deposit scheme which is excluded from the restrictions, however there are strict eligibility criteria for these loans.
Being a member of KiwiSaver gives a good head start towards finding a 20% deposit. After three years of membership you can withdraw your KiwiSaver funds, excluding the Government kickstart and member tax credits, for the purchase of a first home. You may also be entitled to a first home subsidy of $1,000 for each year of KiwiSaver membership up to a maximum of $5,000.
Another strategy is to ask your family to use their home as security for part of the loan. The advantage of this approach is that it enables your family to help you without having to give you cash for a deposit. It does, however, involve a certain amount of risk for your family as they will be relying on you to make the mortgage payments on time.

Q: AJAX - Insert html code into database I am retrieving a html code from my website and I need to store it into a database. Code to retrieve looks like this:
document.getElementById("content-link2").onmousedown = function() {mousedown()};
document.getElementById("content-link2").onmouseup = function() {mouseup()};
function mousedown() {
   var code2 = document.getElementById("content-link2").innerHTML;
    console.log(code2);

I have started to do AJAX code which is saved in js file and it looks like:
 function updateDatabase(newCode)
            {

            // make an ajax request to a PHP file
            // on our site that will update the database
            // pass in our lat/lng as parameters
            $.post('http://localhost/fyproject/public/template2', {
                 _token: $('meta[name=csrf-token]').attr('content'),
                 newCode: code2,
             }
            )
            .done(function(data) {
                alert(data);
            })
            .fail(function() {
                alert( "error" );
            });
        }

Route:
Route::post('template2', 'BuilderController@postDB');

Controller:
     public function postDB(Request $request) {
        $newLat = $request->input('newCode');

        return "Is This Really Working? Oh by the way: newLat: $newLat";
    }

However I get this error in a console:

POST http://localhost/fyproject/public/template2 500 (Internal Server
  Error)

Am I getting at the right track? What am I doing wrong here? If this is not good could I get a suggestion how to do this in another way?
Thank You

The website supports the ability to have a single picture at the top of the page, or a scrolling banner. One or other can be set for the complete website, and this can be overridden by a separate picture or scrolling banner for individual pages. An override for an individual page is also used automatically for any 'children' of the page. The default for the whole website can also be a set of banners where one is selected at random from a set of banners.
From the Admin screens select "Appearance/Header" and then "Add new image" or select one of the previously uploaded images. If there are a number of previously selected images then click "Randomise uploaded headers" at the bottom of the list of pictures for one of these headers to be picked at random each time a page is loaded.
It is possible to change or remove the default header text that normally appears at the top of each page and replace it for a specific page (daughter pages will automatically then change as well). This is done using the 'Header Title' entry in the 'Pages/Posts linked to this page and header info' section when editing the page. To remove the text, set the text to one or more spaces.
This usually involves rescaling the picture so that it is 1000 px wide and then cropping it so that it is 250px wide.

Helen Zille: 'The media 'doesn't get it'. Or does it?
Posted By: Glenda Nevillon: January 31, 2013 In: Press
Helen Zille and The New Age fought for space on the front pages of the country's newspapers again this week, and it wasn't a pretty sight for the media industry. The DA leader and premier of the Western Cape accused the media of "not getting it" over the issue of whether President Jacob Zuma's benefactors, the Gupta family, had in fact donated money to the DA.
The New Age and the ANC accused her of hypocrisy. Enter Western Cape ANC leader, Marius Fransman. "The DA boasts it just spent R4 million cash on it provincial office in Cape Town… Where does this money come from? Could it be sponsored by the likes of generous companies who won lucrative contracts from the DA-run government – like TBWA\ Hunt Lascaris?" he asked.
Zille responded. "Of course, there are risks associated with confidentiality as well – such as the opportunity this creates for people with malicious agendas, such as Marius Fransman, to invent insane allegations, such as that the DA received R4-million from the Guptas to renovate our Cape Town offices! That is so ludicrous that most thinking people would just dismiss it. But some journalists took it seriously and gave it substantial airtime. Within minutes it was being repeated on social media as 'fact'," Zille wrote.
"Most journalists didn't get it. They kept asking me whether we had received money from the Guptas. I kept replying: Ask Them. If they wish to answer the question, they are free to do so. Indeed, I would welcome them clearing this matter up."
The New Age came back with a story about the long-running TBWA/Hunt Lascaris communications tender that has dogged the DA in the Western Cape for a few years, despite the Public Protector ultimately clearing the party of wrongdoing.
DA head of strategic communications then gave The New Age a tongue-lashing, calling its report "as hysterical, inaccurate and obstinate as a rebuked three year old. Fine for a three year old – not so much for a national newspaper.
"The headline and story are factually inaccurate, misleading and clearly motivated by animus. Consequently, we will be submitting a formal complaint to the Press Ombudsman."
By this time readers could be forgiven for being confused, because it certainly appeared many reporters were too. Zille accused them of reporting rumours as fact, and it certainly seemed as if some journalists were using other media outlets as sources, and not verifying information for themselves.
Did the media "not get it" as Zille charges? Has the media reported this story in a clear and coherent manner? The Media Online asked media analysts what they thought about the continuing saga.
"It's all hysterical – and this makes for entertaining journalism – I am not morally outraged by any of the reporting on this saga," says Glenda Daniels, former journalist and senior researcher at Wits Journalism. "It does not surprise me in the least that journalists keep prodding her about whether she received money from the Guptas – why is she so outraged, they are just doing their jobs.
Unisa's Dr Julie Reid says the drama this week was "less about the state of journalism in SA and more about how our politicians/government deal with the media".
"Political reporting is not an easy job, and journalists have to try and make sense of the various different bits and pieces of info that they are getting from all sides of each political camp, then they need to try to string that together into a coherent story. It's a complicated business, and I think political journalists can be forgiven if they get things a little mixed up every now and then.
"Government officials and politicians have a crucially important role to play in all of this, though: they really have a rather large piece of responsibility to make sure that journalists get things right (even though they don't want to admit it – its much easier to simply lash the media than take responsibility)," Reid says.
Daniels believes Zille should take the lead and "insist her donors allow themselves to be disclosed – all the better for transparency and democracy in the country. Once one party discloses all – imagine how stupid the other parties will feel!" she says.
At the same time, Daniels says some of Zille's statements are off the mark. "Zille saying she couldn't get hold of the Guptas – because she had a number that was not operational – is rather weak and pathetic. She used to once be a journalist, she ought to know how to get numbers, plus she is now one of the politically connected rulers of this country," she says.
Reid believes the "misunderstandings" of the press were "also logically drawn conclusions".
"In her response letter Zille points out that many of the 'facts' reported by the media were mere misunderstandings (e.g., her supposed hypocrisy for speaking at a breakfast in February 2012, but turning down this year's invitation). However, I think these misunderstandings by the press, although perhaps mistaken, were also logically drawn conclusions," Reid says.
"I think Zille should recognise that the 'hypocrisy' she was accused of by the media, although perhaps not fair, was reasonably perceived by the press. That said, her reaction in her letter is a good one: point things out as they really happened, clear up any misunderstandings, tell us the whole truth, and then ask 'so where's the scandal' (we assume of course she IS telling the truth). Imagine, for example, each time the media latched onto something scandalous to do with the ANC – if the President could write us a letter clearing everything up and putting our mind at ease. How wonderful. He could begin with: Dear South Africans, I would like to tell you the full story about how the cost of my possie at Nkandla escalated to over R206 000 000'…"
Daniels says the whole affair shows just how "dirty" politics can get in South Africa. "I find it astonishing and a good story that Zille had a meal at the Guptas and got funds from someone closely connected with them – shows how dirty politics is – with everyone, not just the ANC. It's so bizarre that she had to collect a cheque at the Guptas – could she not have asked to meet her donor somewhere else, knowing as she did what a scandalous relationship the Guptas have with Zuma," she says.
And she sums it all up. "Fransman statement? Hysterical. Nick Clelland – as hysterical as The New Age. Helen Zille – having a meal at the Guptas and getting funds from one of their connections? Priceless."
Seriously, though, both Reid and Daniels say the reporting of rumour as fact is an issue of concern in South African journalism.
"That journalists often post rumours as fact is true – this is now part of the social media culture or milieu – everyone wants to be first with the news…and so far too quickly post things, without verifying – it's a horrible trend," Daniels says.
Reid says she doesn't believe there is an alarming trend towards taking that route, but that journalists do need to fact-check especially when reporting on politics. "Journalists too often get caught up as pawns in political mud-slinging and simply buy into what politicians say about their opponents, which isn't responsible journalism. Everything that politicians say should be treated as hearsay until its been verified.
"In this case it would have been quite easy to do. After Fransman accused the DA of a R4 mill upgrade on the provincial office, journalists should have tried to verify that with the provincial office itself, and asked to see the budget/finances of the refurbishment work; they are entitled to this because its public money that's being spent. If the DA had refused to hand over this info, it would have indicated a lack of transparency on the part of that party… then THAT would have been the real story," Reid says.
She says the problem with political reporting in South Africa is that journalists and editors are overly obsessed with it, and there is just too much of it too. "Every mainstream newspaper allocates a great deal of space to political reporting and government scandals – all of that is important and it is in the public interest, so yes, it must get 'airtime' in the papers," says Reid.
"Very little space is given to stories emanating from grassroots communities – the only time this type of journalism ever happens is if local communities 'go on the rampage', such as the farm workers in De Doorns, or the community in Sasolburg. Otherwise, the mainstream press largely ignores local communities. This is a huge pity, because if you want to find stories about political scandal, corruption, mismanagement, and the like, you need look no further than your average local municipal office. The real scandal in SA is how the poor are being grossly failed by the state in almost every respect."

Print media must take transformation task team seriously
Lazy reporting, lazy spin and knee jerk political paranoia
One correction to Dr Julie Reid's comments that the DA's Provincial Head Office is funded by public money. No, it is not – it is funded by private donors. These offices are not state or governmental offices, funded from taxpayers' revenue. They are party organisational campaign headquarters. Like a charity relying on donors, the party (a non-profit organisation) relies on donors to fund its operations.
The other aspect to look at it is the fact that SAPA newswire lifted Fransman's R4 million allegations straight from the New Age without a verification or an opportunity for comment from the DA and published it as a news report. The SAPA reporting was ambiguous and it confused the allegation as fact. Other online media sites simply copied and pasted the SAPA article and the story about R4 million was then accepted by journalists as fact. SAPA treating the New Age as a credible news source, without fact checking, and then publishing it into the public domain, should lead SAPA re-evaluate the New Age as a credible source of reporting.
Surely Dr Reid meant the WC provincial government with the DA in charge. We know the DA itself is funded by private donors!
so where did the R4m come from? we still don't have the facts do we? so i think the media can be forgiven for printing the most factual-seeming information. creating a stink to get the adverse attention that is necessary to force the hand of the politicians has become a necessary evil. it is often the only way to get to the truth. which is a sad reflection of the state of politics – and often big business – in our country and other parts of the world. the arrogant and disdainful manner with which our politicians dismiss our right to know should be shown up for the betrayal it is. we have a right to know what money is influencing our politicians thinking and behaviour, and hence the political discourse in our country. that's a fundamental basic if 'freedom' is to be a reality as envisaged by our constitution. the longer our politicians wallow in denial and the more they throw stones at journalists who are merely using the tools they're forced to utilise to access the information that should otherwise be in the public domain, the less credible those politicians appear. this is South African's Rubicon. if our politicians can bravely take this step forward, into the world of transparency and dare i say integrity, oh wow, then South Africa and its peoples can really start to heal and work together in an enabling environment where things are a darn sight closer to what they seem. transparency = knowledge = power

Ahmad ibn Rustah (auch Ebn Rosta und Ähnliches; ) war ein persischer Astronom und Geograph des 10. Jahrhunderts n. Chr. Ibn Rustah hat einige Reisen unternommen und ein Kompendium über seine Reiseerfahrungen und über die Berichte anderer Reisender geschrieben. Diese Berichte informierten ihn sogar über die Heptarchie in England und die Britischen Inseln. Geboren ist er in der Stadt Isfahan (Persien), die er besonders ausführlich beschreibt.

Beginn seines Kompendiums
Zunächst liefert Ibn Rustah in seinem Kompendium eine Beschreibung des Himmels und zitiert hierfür unter anderem bekannte arabische Astronomen wie Albumasar. Danach beschreibt er sehr genau die beiden wichtigsten Städte des Islam, Mekka und Medina, wobei er zumindest Medina selbst bereist hat.

Beschreibung des Stammes Rus
Ibn Rustah schreibt unter anderem über den Stamm der Rus im heutigen Russland. Er vermutet, dass die Rus Wikinger seien, die den Rus bewohnten, und behauptet von ihnen, dass sie in Städten und nicht in Dörfern lebten. Er berichtet außerdem, dass sie keinen Ackerbau betreiben, sondern vom Handel mit Fellen und Tierhäuten und von Plünderungen leben würden. Angeblich plünderten die Rus oftmals slawische Stämme aus und machten einige Slawen zu Sklaven, die sie zumindest teilweise weiterverkauften. Sowohl ihre Reisen als auch der Handel und die Plünderfahrten wurden nur mit Hilfe von Schiffen durchgeführt. Seiner Beschreibung nach trugen die Rus weite Hosen und stellten besonders gute Schwerter her. Die Priester der Rus hatten nach Ibn Rustah ein so großes Ansehen, dass sie jedes Tier und sogar jeden Menschen als Opfer für die Götter bestimmen konnten. Andererseits soll das Rechtssystem auch eher komplex gewesen sein. Des Weiteren beschreibt er eine Wikinger-Bestattung.

Im Gegensatz zu Ibn Fadlān behauptet Ibn Rustah, dass die Rus ein relativ reinliches Volk wären. Allgemein werden sie zudem als ein besonders tapferer Stamm beschrieben.

Die Informationen Ibn Rustahs zu den Rus stammten wohl teilweise von einer Reise nach Nowgorod.

Weitere Berichte
Über den König des antiken Kroatiens schreibt Ibn Rustah, dass er jeden Monat ein dreitägiges Fest in seiner Hauptstadt Drzvab ausrichten ließ.

Ein König im Kaukasus soll mit Gläubigen der drei abrahamitischen Weltreligionen (Christentum, Judentum und Islam) gebetet haben, obwohl sich alle drei Religionen als einzig wahre Religion ansehen, um "auf Nummer sicher zu gehen".

Außer über seine Heimatstadt Isfahan schreibt er auch ausführlich über andere Teile Persiens und deren Handelswege.

Auch ist Ibn Rustah außer nach Medina zu anderen Orten der Arabischen Halbinsel gereist, unter anderem auch nach Sana'a, das er als eine starkbevölkerte Stadt mit einem großen Ruhm beschrieb, die größer ist als alle Städte in der Küstenregion Tihama und der westarabischen Region Hedschas, wobei er auch besonders die Qualität der Lebensmittel lobt. Die Häuser waren laut Ibn Rustah mit Putz, gebrannten Backsteinziegeln oder behauenem Naturstein bedeckt.

Mehr oder weniger ausführlich beschreibt er auch Byzanz (besonders dessen Hauptstadt Konstantinopel), Rom, Indien und das Volk der Ungarn.

Travis Scott announces new album Jack Boys
The debut studio album from his Jack Boys creative outfit will arrive in December
on November 29, 2019, 10:03pm

Travis Scott has announced the impending release of Jack Boys, the debut studio album from his creative outfit of the same name. The compilation LP features Scott's recent single, "Highest in the Room", as well as contributions from Sheck Wes, Don Toliver, DJ Chase B, and more.
According to Scott, Jack Boys will arrive before the end of 2019. His most recent record, Astroworld, arrived a little over a year ago, which means he's been busy working on Jack Boys between releasing that, his Superbowl performance, his own music festival, his iconic Rolling Loud set, and his new Netflix documentary. Talk about commitment. It seems Scott has been getting collaborators together for this upcoming record whenever he found a moment to breathe.
In anticipation of the album's release, Scott has shared an exclusive merch capsule for Jack Boys to celebrate Black Friday. All of the merch is black and features what appears to be shards of shattered glass. In addition to the usual assortment of merch, there's also a rolling tray, a duffle bag, a blanket, a rug, an electric scooter (!), and something called a "reality robe". The Jack Boys merch is available for purchase now at Scott's website.

Travis Scott still has several tour dates lined up, including festival performances at Lollapalooza Brasil, Lollapalooza Argentina, and Lollapalooza Chile. Grab tickets to all of his upcoming concerts here.

17th April 2018: Cumbrian property company, BEC, has revealed more detailed information about its proposed scheme at North Shore, Whitehaven.
The sche me, being developed with partners including Whitehaven Harbour Commissioners and Copeland Borough Council, proposes a 4* hotel, 400 space multi-story parking and a five-story office development. A further development will see a mixed-use office and eatery geared towards start-ups and innovators. All work will be supported by improvements to the road infrastructure, led by Cumbria County Council.
The 4* hotel will feature five storeys, c.100 rooms and will help realise the long held local ambitions for increased tourism on the Cumbrian coast. It will also be a leading social spot in Whitehaven, bringing forward a new place for post work and weekend drinks in the "sky bay" overlooking the harbour.
The former Mark House site will be home to a five storey, 75,000 sq. ft. office development with ground floor mixed use space – delivering more footfall to the harbour area and town centre. The site will help retain and attract high-skilled public services together with private sector nuclear and advanced manufacturing supply chain employment for the area.
Whitehaven's parking woes have long been debated by officials and public alike. BEC proposes to both cater for the development and help alleviate existing parking issues with an affordable multi-storey car park on land to the west of North Shore Road, adjacent to Tesco. The parking provision is being designed to come forward in stages, growing with the scheme. Rather than the traditional parking infrastructure, BEC intends to integrate 'living walls' into the structure to improve the schemes overall carbon footprint and visual appeal.
BEC is also working in partnership with Cumbria County Council to deliver a highway solution which will not only underpin and service the North Shore scheme but deliver a significant upgrade to the main entrance to Whitehaven town centre from the northern access.
A further development on the old bus station site will see a new hub with flexible office and meeting space that supports start-ups and innovators combined with a wholesome, artisan eatery that is open to the public. Detailed information on this development will be released shortly.
These developments make up phase one of North Shore plans and make up a £55m investment (approx.). The scheme has the potential to be part of improvements to the town, during a second phase, worth £300m. BEC will be keeping all stakeholders up to date about future plans.
The scheme ties in with BEC's golden thread of low carbon activity and the highest achievable BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) rating will be targeted for all buildings that BEC develop.
The company is also exploring potential for a 'net zero carbon' development, opportunities for energy generation, storage and distribution together with plans that minimise energy import from the gas and power grids while maximising on-site generation using low carbon energy sources. Initiatives such as the living walls of the car park will also support these aims.
In person: A dedicated consultation cabin will be in place on the old depot site before the end of this month. Open 2 half days a week the cabin will serve as a drop-in base for anyone to learn more about this scheme.
At events: BEC will speak at a series of events, including the BEC Business Cluster in May at Energus and will also hold their own events looking at different elements of the scheme. The first will be on the 24th April at The Beacon Portal at 10am. Anyone who wishes to attend can register here https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/bec-north-shore-scheme-event-1-scheme-launch-tickets-45055088984 or email events@BECnorthshore.com for more information.
Mike Starkie, Mayor of Copeland, concluded: "I believe the plans for the North Shore area of Whitehaven will be transformational for the town. They tick every box. The high-quality hotel ties in with our ambitions to increase tourism and give people working in and around Whitehaven another option to stay in town, rather than staying elsewhere and travelling in.
"The office development will attract employment and business to the area, in addition to increased footfall courtesy of the recreational use on the ground floor, while the multi-storey will help solve long-standing parking issues in the town. For many years, Mark House stood derelict and represented an area's decline. But I believe its demolition and the exciting new plans that we now see coming forward truly signify our town's renaissance.

Things to see and do near Agriturismo "San Pierino" and Radicondoli.
Spend some time off the beaten track in the heartland of Tuscany.
Our agriturismo is located in the middle of the last "undiscovered" part of Tuscany. Nearby is Radicondoli itself, a charming and totally authentic Tuscan mediaeval hilltop town with picturesque lanes and piazzas. It is situated in the Tuscan region of the Colline Senesi, which is home to some of the most famous cultural and historical locations of Tuscany. Sights of interest, including the cities of Sienna, San Gimignano, Volterra and Monteriggioni, the Abbey of San Galgano, the Maremma and the Mediterranean sea may be reached conveniently by car from our agriturismo. Surrounding Nature invites walks and hikes and other activities, such as horse riding and mountain bike tours.
Volterra, a fabulous town located 1770 feet above sea level, is famous for its architecture, ambiance and views. It became famous as the home of the Volturi vampire clan in "New Moon", a film located in Volterra but actually filmed in Montepulciano. Volterra is definitely woth a full day visit from Agriturismo San Pierino.
More about films shot in Tuscany.
Monteriggioni and Colle di Val d'Elsa. Monteriggioni is a small village entirely surrounded by an intact curtain wall with eleven towers. Every year, an excellent mediaeval festival is held here. Nearby is the town of Colle di Val d'Elsa which is famous for its crystalware. The older part of town is worth a detour and there are numerous ancient churches to visit in the surrounding countryside.
More about Colle di Val d'Elsa.
From Agriturismo San Pierino, travelling east towards Sienna, we come first to Sovicille and a number of monasteries hidden away in the forest, and then the Val di Merse with the fascinating towns of Monticiano, Chiusdino, Murlo, Torri and then the magnificent ruined Abbey San Galgano and the Hermitage of Montesiepi.
South west of Agriturismo San Pierino lie the Alta Maremma and the Mediterranean coast. These areas are amazingly interesting. Massa Marittima lies in the Alta Maremma along with numerous scenic villages as well as hot springs anf Etruscan ruins. Further towards the coast, lie the plains of the Maremma, with wetlands and swamp populated by a diverse range of birds. Finally we reach the sandy beaches of the coast.


The hottest brand in Brazil today, Chilli Beans was founded in 1998 by Caito Maia, a young musician from São Paulo. Specializing in sunglasses and accessories, the brand became widely known for its spicy, fashionable attitude. From there, the brand grew in a fashionable speed, quickly resulting in international expansion. Since 2012, Chilli Beans has grown from 400 to over 600 stores worldwide, becoming the largest accessories franchise in Latin America, with locations in Brazil, Colombia, Mexico and Peru, Europe (Portugal), Asia (Kuwait) and North America (United States).
With a focus on fashion trends with reasonable prices, Chilli Beans' philosophy is straightforward: changing our sunglasses and watches as often as we change our outfits. That's the reason why the brand releases weekly (yeah, every single week!) original styles of sunglasses, watches and optical frames.
Chilli Beans also pioneered the concept of self-service in eyewear, encouraging customers to handle and try on our products without having to ask an associate to unlock a display.
On top of fashion, our brand is also directly related to music and all forms of artistic expression. That's the drive behind our collaborations with prestigious art collectors, designers and musicians such as the Ramones, Amy Winehouse, Kravitz Design, Yatch, Doze Green, Big Freddia and Alexandre Herchcovitch, among others renown artists.

This week I am thrilled to be interviewing author Amanda Malben. Amanda will be sharing with us detail of her writing life, telling us all about her latest book 'Running from the Sky', which was released on 30th May 2018 and answering a few fun questions too. This post contains affiliate links.
Amanda Malben initially trained as an actor at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, which gave her the tools to fit into any role that life threw at her; and there were many, from fabric designer, to chef, to teacher. During this time she scribbled down ideas and stories. Now retired, Amanda devotes her time to writing, using all her experiences and slightly nomadic life style to develop her stories and characters. Amanda takes her book to primary schools for readings and creative writing workshops.
Books and the imagination to explore other worlds matter to Amanda, and that passion started in her childhood, where she happily created worlds to play in that were packed with imaginary friends. When she's not writing, Amanda walks with her dog, Sally, which gives her space to expand her stories. Her favourite place is a beach in northwest Scotland, where she can loll like a sea otter in the still evening waters watching the sun set behind the mountains.
Amanda is married, with eight grandchildren, and she lives in the rural heart of England. Running From The Sky is her first book and she is busy exploring more worlds to write about.
So many I lost count. I was very outdoorsy, animal orientated, tree climbing tomboy, but it was always creative, eg acting. So after A levels I went to the Central School of Speech and Drama.
Loads of them, no real favourite. I read all the Enid Blyton Famous Five Books – I was George! Addicted to the Narnia books and every fairy tale book I could get my hands on. We were only allowed three books from the library at that time, which was a nightmare for me on holiday. I do remember reading books backwards just for something to read!
I've always written things, fairly morbid poetry when I was a teenager, beginnings of stories fill my note books but I never got past the initial first scenes. So I never thought about it as a serious occupation.
I try really hard to write something every day but life is complicated so I don't beat myself up if I don't achieve much. I tend to spend the mornings on the admin side of things, web page content, questionnaires like this, phoning people etc. My count when working on the book now, is usually around the 1,000 mark – it wasn't always so easy! I write in my note book first, and I do that anywhere; in the garden on a nice day, curled up on the sofa by the fire on wet, cold day, I then work the notes on the computer.
I only have the one completed and published. I have two I'm working on at the moment one of these should be ready for publication by the Autumn, I have an awful lot of note books full of half written chapters, stories, ideas, poems etc.
I am a little bit of both I have the plot – beginning, middle and end in my head when I start out, but sometimes the characters change and the plot sways off into somewhere else, but the main theme usually stays solid.
Three years into the civil war that has turned his country upside down, Sami's home village in Syria is hit by a deadly bomb attack and he is forced to leave behind everything he knows and loves.
Eventually, Sami and his family are given refuge in Coventry, England, but city life is hard to adjust to. It's grey and cold and there are no fields to play in or animals to tend. Worse still, Sami worries about the fate of his uncle and cousins back in Syria and struggles to make new friends.
In a bid to take his mind off his homesickness, Sami is introduced to Harry Adams, one of the elderly residents at the care home where his mum works. Although wary of one another at first, the pair gradually form a bond, as Harry tells Sami the story of the unusually named Splen and his dog Bobby, who lived through the Second World War and the infamous Coventry Blitz.
As Sami discovers more about Splen and his dramatic escape from the horrors of conflict, the two unlikely friends make peace with their troubled pasts and forge a new sense of hope for the future.
I read as much as I can from books, my book shelves heave with research books! I use the internet. I talk to people if they have information they can share – not just facts but emotions, feelings memories as well. I also visit places if that is possible, so I went to Coventry. The book I'm writing at the moment is set in 1847 America so that's a no no, but Google earth is a wonderful tool to help get an sense of place.
Six months seems to be my timeline, I spend a bit of time getting started, then I get on a roll. Half way through I want to throw it all away because its rubbish and then I get going again – mad!
Titles are hard aren't they? They usually come to me when I'm getting towards the end of the book and they just sort leap out of my head.
My characters seem to come into my head and become very real. I do take things from people around me, I will admit that Harry in Running from the Sky has a lot of my husband in him! But I like to give my characters a loose rein so they can develop in their own way. I do tend as an actress to take on each role, and read my work aloud to get into them, picking up accents on the way. Eliza is my current heroine and I have her voice in my head constantly.
I decided to self-publish with an independent publisher – Wrates publishing. I needed to be hand held – I did not want to go through the long process of finding an agent, finding a publisher, deal with rejection and having to take on the battle – I felt that at my age, time is of the essence and I just want to get on with it.
I am nearly at the end of the first draft of the next book, very different from the first, an adult book with some hardness in it but still historical – love history. I am also doing School visits with Running From The Sky which is wonderful fun.
I have my best friend Sally who hears all my stories as I write out loud when I'm walking with her!
Bloody hell, oh my god, what the heck are you doing?
I would be Nurse Bridget.
Anywhere with open space and a good beach – Scotland and Cornwall up there at the top.
I would like to say a big thank you to Amanda Malben for sharing with us details of her writing life and for a wonderful interview.
Oh that would of been fab to hear.
She sounds like a very interesting lady! Another great interview!
I agree she does. Thank you.
Wonderful interview. Running From The Sky sounds like a very current, thought provoking story.
Thank you. I agree about the book.
Thank you. I hope you get to read it then.
Teenage poetry! Yas!!!! Your interviews are always so interesting and well thought out. I really enjoyed this one, as per usual.
Ah thank you, I'm so happy you like them.

Trump's 'peace plan' is simply another round of crumbs being thrown from the Apartheid table
January 29, 2020 at 12:31 pm | Published in: Article, Asia & Americas, Israel, Middle East, Opinion, Palestine, US
US President Donald Trump in New Jersey, US on 28 January 2020 [Tayfun Coşkun/Anadolu Agency]
Iqbal Jassat
ijassat
There is no doubt that Palestinians in the Occupied Territories and millions of their compatriots living in squalid refugee camps in neighbouring countries will be appalled that the Trump administration has announced a process to extinguish their legitimate rights by gifting the occupying colonial regime with its "deal of the century".
This so-called "peace plan" displays open contempt for UN Security Council Resolutions, as did the US President when he handed to Israel complete control of Jerusalem and sovereignty over Syria's Golan Heights last year. Donald Trump has now stripped Palestinians of all of their rights as enshrined in international laws and conventions. The legitimate Right of Return of Palestinian refugees; the right to freedom; the right to justice; and the right to equality and dignity are all sacrosanct, and yet they have just been trampled on by Trump in collusion with the Zionist zealot Benjamin Netanyahu.
Unsurprisingly, the politics of patronage for racist Israel dominated Trump's "historic moment". Riding roughshod over Palestinian lives and rights has defined the Trump administration's reprehensible disregard for civilised human values. Such conduct is consistent with that of his Israeli partners who have for seven decades and more resorted to gross human rights violations, including ethnic cleansing, mass murder, collective punishment, occupation, detention without trial and Apartheid.
READ: This is America's most generous deal ever for Israel
Notwithstanding his mockery of humane values, Trump's determination to endear himself to Zionist racism has driven him to tear down what remains of his own tattered reputation. The bravado which accompanied his latest betrayal of Palestine has not only brought shame to America, but also exposed the hypocrisy of US allies in Europe and the Middle East. Their inability to challenge his repugnant abuse of power, is confirmation of their supportive role in allowing Israel's persecution and oppression of the people of occupied Palestine to continue.
The irony of the timing of this "peace plan" has not been lost. Minutes before the Trump circus started in Washington, reports confirmed that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has been formally indicted on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust in three separate corruption cases. Concurrently, of course, Trump himself faces the axe as his impeachment trial gathers momentum. Whether the case against him is flimsy or not, the fact is that his reputation is damaged severely and his position is compromised.
Trump and Netanyahu's love affair around Jerusalem and Palestine's fate – Cartoon [Sabaaneh/MiddleEastMonitor]
Two thugs were thus seen in a warm embrace in a shameful demonstration of how to destroy the international order which was put together painstakingly following the Second World War. The unilateral bulldozing of global institutions and the rule of law was on stark display at the press conference, cheered on by sycophants, including ambassadors from leading Arab sell-out states Bahrain, Oman and the United Arab Emirates.
READ: Palestinians should give up 'fairy tales' says Kushner
As South Africans who erased the totally discredited "Bantustans" from the map post-1994, we can smell the entrenchment of such travesties miles away. Trump's deal is no less than a crazy move to legitimise the Occupied Palestinian Territories as Apartheid-era Bantustans through which the Gaza Strip, a much-constricted West Bank without Jerusalem and minus the Jordan Valley together become the "promised land" of a rump "State of Palestine".
That the "deal" is a scam designed to undermine Palestine's just freedom struggle is clear. Evidence of it is not only buried in obscure details, but also in the smug grin on the face of baby-killer Netanyahu.
While the Trump initiative is being hailed by racist white supremacists — the flip side of Zionists and, disappointingly, yet again funded by unelected Arab despots — Palestinian leaders have rightly condemned it outright. One can be sure too that the Arab street will denounce it.
Almost immediately after Trump's announcement, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas rejected it. Contrary to Trump's expectations, Abbas also declared that he'll be traveling to Gaza to meet with Hamas and Islamic Jihad to close Palestinian ranks in opposition to the deal.
READ: Islamic Jihad, Hamas accept Abbas invite to meet following US deal
This move by Abbas, even if it's a symbolic gesture by Fatah, is an indication that neither disarming the resistance groups nor demilitarising Gaza is an option for him. Renewed solidarity among Palestinian factions points to the first substantial sign that what Netanyahu has described as a "good plan for Israel" is being rejected in toto by the people of Palestine.
The illegal annexation of Palestinian land, particularly in the Occupied West Bank where Israel has in violation of UN Resolutions built racial enclaves known as "Jewish settlements", has emerged as the single most important gift by Trump in this "deal of the century". In expansionist Israel, therefore, Zionist dreams of an exclusive Jewish entity are pitted against the reality of a stateless, dispossessed and disenfranchised indigenous Palestinian population. We are supposed to believe that it is a "peace plan".
Trump's incredible folly in pursuing a doomed deal which many analysts have described as stillborn, deserves to be rebuked by all who are unafraid to speak the truth to those in power. Colonialism and apartheid must be confronted, not celebrated as we saw at the White House. The US President's disgraceful deal is simply another round of crumbs being thrown from the Apartheid table.

Another epic spring break, this one covering lots of southeast Arizona, and these are sample photos that Paul or I took April 1-7, 2006.
Area map, with our travels highlighted.
First to Chiricahua National Monument. We hiked, and camped there. This rock is called the Camel's Head.
"Sorry Bry, but this map is of no use. I'm afraid I've gotten us hopelessly lost, and we have to spend the rest of our lives out here. You'll probley get used to it."
We meant to buy Mexican stuff at Agua Prieta (just across the border from Douglas), but it turned out to be just a hike. We were the only gringo touristas in a town without tourista stuff.

Every now and then its good to laugh, have fun then enjoy life. After all if you can't enjoy yourself or the world you live in, whats the point to living? All work and no fun makes a dull, unhappy man or woman, so while you are living and able to have fun, by all means do it! Which brings me to the subject of today, Now You See. This subject came to mind when one of my grown children came over to beg for money. To me its real funny when you have a young lady or young man that you have raised to adulthood, coming over just to eat or beg you for money. Like you are obligated or owe them something! I don't know whats wrong with today's children, because when I became a grown man I didn't expect my parents to take care of me. After all they did their job, they raised me, fed me and provided for me as a child. Now its their turn to enjoy the fruits of their labor and rest. But as you know our children today won't let us rest and many of them expect us to still take care of them after they are grown.
That is when I say to my grown children," Now you see why I told you to turn off those lights, to stop eating up all the food, to stay out of the refrigerator, save your allowance and why I couldn't buy you those expensive things you asked for. Now you see why I told you to go to school, study, get a job and save your money! Now you see why I told you to keep your thing, in your pants or your legs closed. Now you see why I asked you to respect my rules, to go to church, to respect your elders and to never break the law. Now you see what I was trying to tell you while I was raising you. No, I wasn't trying to be evil or mean and even though you may have thought so. As you can now see everyone you thought was your friend isn't and when the chips are down I am the only one you can count on. I am that not that old or that out of touch, because now you are in the real world , you can now see that things cost and nothing in life is free. I was only doing for you what my parents did for me, preparing you for the outside world. So now you have what you asked for, you are grown, legal, 18 or 21 and free to be your own man or woman! Its hard out there! Its a crazy, dangerous world we live in! You now have to work for yours because things cost money and without an education or a plan life can become very difficult! I know you thought you knew it all, but now you see! You understand now! Even though you may think that I am made of money, I can't and won't take care of you all of your life. Now you see! Write in then express your thoughts or opinions on the subject.

You can always depend on every crop of contestants on "The Bachelor" to include a particular cast of characters. There's the naive one, the mysterious one, the silly one and, most importantly, the evil one. If this is your first time watching the show, you might be wondering how this season's villains fit into the context of the show's history. We've assembled a few frequently asked questions and their answers so you can jump right in.
Does every season have a villain? How can I spot one?
Pretty much every season has a villain, and you can almost always pick them out in the first episode. Villains are commonly spotted stealing time away from other contestants during the cocktail hour, using physical intimacy to get the attention of the bachelor or bachelorette, making arrogant or insulting comments or targeting specific contestants who seem particularly irritated with the villain's behavior.
I'm trying to hold a conversation with a "Bachelor" expert. Who are the big names in villainy I should know?
Juan Pablo Galavis. We challenge you to find somebody who actually likes this guy. Usually, there's a contestant who's a bona fide villain, but this season, the villain was the bachelor himself. Forget his inability to muster up words of genuine affection even during the final episode or his shamelessly rude attitude — his homophobic comments relating to the possibility of a gay or bisexual "Bachelor" are enough to earn him a spot on Bachelor Nation's most hated.
Chad Johnson. Downright rude to not only his fellow contestants, but to bachelorette JoJo Fletcher, Johnson had a fight to pick with just about everybody. He went beyond insults and on numerous occasions made aggressive threats. When he reappeared on the third season of "Bachelor in Paradise," he was removed by host Chris Harrison after a drunken evening of antagonistic behavior.
Corinne Olympios. Corinne quickly skyrocketed to something of a cultural icon, with hilarious quips about napping and "platinum vagines" instantly cementing themselves as everyday quotes. Corinne made it all the way to the final four before losing out on a rose, after which she delivered a surprisingly empowering speech in the limo ride home. Though she checked all the typical boxes of a villain — making aggressive moves, coming off as inconsiderate and behaving immaturely at times — it all just made us fall in love with her more and more.
Vienna Girardi and Jake Pavelka. Jake Pavelka's season will forever go down in history as the season in which the villain, Vienna Girardi, actually won. Despite Girardi being universally detested by viewers and contestants alike, Pavelka still chose her over Tenley Molzahn, the favorite to win. Pavelka and Girardi's highly publicized fallout weeks later only rubbed salt in the wound.
And, to keep you up-to-date, the villain role on Arie's season is currently split between Chelsea Roy (the one who claims she isn't capable of rude behavior because she's a mother) and Krystal Nielson (the Michelle Williams look-alike with the annoying voice).
What happens to the villains?
Well, generally, they don't win. Some make it pretty far and others are eliminated pretty quickly, depending on the perceptiveness of the bachelor or bachelorette. After all, the villain may not be as vindictive as the producers portray them to viewers, which can leave you wondering why they keep getting roses week after week. Classic villain eliminations occur after the bachelor or bachelorette gets wind of a nasty comment the villain made, or on a two-on-one date in which the villain is paired with their arch nemesis (usually a well-liked contestant) and one of the two goes home.
Are the villains for real?
Yes and no. There have been rumors that contestants are specifically approached by the show's producers and instructed to play the role of the villain (or the victim, the quirky one, etc.), but even if that's not true, the storyline and its characters is still pulled from hours upon hours of footage we never get to see. The show's creators are able to pick and choose what we see, and therefore are able to mold contestants to fit a narrative that may or may not be true. So the real answer is yes — they do say those things, but that doesn't mean there isn't plenty of context we aren't given.
Why do viewers love the villains so much?
What fun would the show be if every contestant was lovable, genuine and kind? Just as we want to see how far our favorite contestants go, we also tune in every week for the drama — and the villains, at least at the beginning of every season, are the driving force behind that drama.
