Los Angeles NBA fans slogged through the summer. I wasn't one of them. I was the one girl in the restaurant in Torrance, Calif., getting dirty looks while rooting for the Miami Heat to win Game 7.
To explain myself before you start throwing rocks at me, I switched fandoms when Kobe and Shaq had their fallout in 2004.
But that's beside the point.
As much as I don't like Kobe, I wouldn't wish an Achilles injury on my worst enemy. At 35 years old, the Black Mamba does not deserve to end his career on some fluke injury against Golden State. Any player with his track record deserves to retire on his own terms.
If the word on the street is true, and Kobe isn't just saving face by telling NBA.com that he's "shattering" his recovery time, then the Lakers have a shot at a decent 2014 postseason run.
With Jordan Farmar back on the roster, the addition of the height of Chris Kaman and the good riddance of prima donna Dwight Howard, it'll be interesting to see what tone coach Mike D'Antoni sets. Laker fans accept nothing short of a championship.
Another change to note is the amnesty of Metta World Peace who is flying across the country to perform under the bright lights of Madison Square Garden. The absence of his lock-down defense and wacky, often unpredictable personality will be missed.
The Clippers could try to push the Lakers off the Staples Center throne, but after their disappointing first-round playoff exit — as much as I hate to say it — I'd say that ship has sailed.
Their only chance lies in whether or not legendary coach Doc Rivers can inspire the team's talented roster.
The brief NBA Western Conference 2013-14 season overview is this: it all depends on how soon the Black Mamba can get back on the court.
On the east coast, the major, long-awaited, drawn-out, still questionable return is that of Derrick Rose with his torn ACL. Either he's scared to go full-throttle again, which is understandable, or he's preparing to bust out an incredible MVP season comeback.
In other League news, Grant Hill and Jason Kidd retired in June. Hill will most likely slide into a game announcer slash anchor role, and Kidd is the new head coach of the Brooklyn Nets, partially owned by Jay Z. SLAM reported that crossover legend Allen Iverson will retire, and former long-time Laker Derek Fisher also announced he would be done at the end of this season.

Prime Minister Hon. Manasseh Sogavare has told a high-level delegation from the Solomon Islands National University (SINU) it is the intention of the Democratic Coalition for Change (DCC) Government to improve both the facility and academic status of the premier institution.
The high-level delegation from the Solomon Islands National University was led by the Vice-Chancellor Dr. Glynn Galo.
Prime Minister Sogavare said the improvement would cater for tertiary education needs of the country.
A statement by the Prime Minister's Press Secretariat said the delegation met with the Prime Minister yesterday to inform him the institution's infrastructure development project proposals with the intention of securing financial support from the Government for their implementation.
The projects contained the SINU Strategic Plan for 2016 to 2020 include the construction of a major academic complex and the refurbishment of the newly SINU-bought old Malaria Research Centre building.
The delegation also used the opportunity to raise the possibility of the Government providing fully-funded Solomon Islands Government scholarships for SINU students and the need to recruit expatriate staff.
The SINU Vice-Chancellor Dr. Glynn Galo said the major project is the academic complex to cater for 350 seat capacity lecture theatre, 50-seat conference room, 14 classrooms and workshops, media room, bookshop, kitchen, cafeteria, staff offices and student amenities.
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister said he is glad that a delegation from SINU has taken the time to discuss the important issues with him.
He said the current situation in Papua New Guinea which resulted in the repatriation of Solomon Islands Government sponsored students, highlights the importance of the Solomon Islands Government improving the facility and academic status of SINU.
He said the Democratic Coalition for Change Government is taking this direction and the plan to improve the infrastructure and academic status of SINU is of the interest of the government and certainly, they will look at the propositions.
The Prime Minister adds, the government and its partners are keen to support SINU's objective.

WLA: Salmonbelllies on brink
The Maple Ridge Burrards took a surprising 3-0 series stranglehold over the New Westminster Salmonbellies on Monday night at Queen's Park Arena with a 12-10 overtime win. It's not that the Burrards aren't capable; of course they are. The 2016 WLA champions only got better this season with the addition of Curtis Dickson, and in three playoff games he's already scored 11 goals. But the 'Bellies are the 2017 WLA…
WLA: Salmonbellies sink Lakers in OT
The New Westminster Salmonbelllies took over top spot in the Western Lacrosse Association on Friday after a 17-16 win over the Burnaby Lakers at Bill Copeland Sports Centre. The Salmonbellies outscored the Lakers 2-1 in the overtime period, forced after Joel Matthews tied the game at 15 with 1:12 left to play. Austin Jerhoff scored the winning goal at 4:20 of overtime.

Steve Priolo: Yup, he's still in the van
Buffalo Bandits' captain Steve Priolo captivated the (lacrosse) world this past summer when he chose to live in his van while he played for the Victoria Shamrocks of the Western Lacrosse Association. It's winter now, and he's still living in it. Sometimes. For those unfamiliar with Victoria, B.C., its climate is pretty hospitable. Because it's on the ocean, there aren't usually too many days of extreme temperatures. It's a better…

"They were WLA champs for a reason. They came ready to play. We came…
Mann Cup: Three wins in a row for Lakers
Going down 2-0 in the Mann Cup series was a wake-up call for the Peterborough Lakers. They roared back, winning three games in a row to put the New Westminster Salmonbellies on the edge of defeat. The Lakers took game five on Wednesday night by a close 11-10 score. New West has proven to be dangerous in the third period, especially late with an extra-attacker on the floor, but the…
Mann Cup: Lakers back in it
There was no way Peterborough Century 21 Lakers were going to lose a third game in a row. That didn't happen all summer long. They only lost four games total over three months.

Mann Cup: 'Bellies up 2-0
The New Westminster Salmonbellies took a two games to none lead over the visiting Peterborough Lakers on Saturday night in game two of the 2017 Mann Cup series at Queen's Park Arena with a 13-8 win.

APRIL + MAY WRAP-UP
I guess it's that time again when I panic because I totally forgot to post a reading update so now I have to sprint through all the books I've read in two months to tell you what's hot and what's not.
The Universe must really love me right now.
I will save the trouble of going month to month though and will only say that I've read a good stack of books in two months, probably a little bit more than I had last year (but we don't talk about that) so grab a cuppa, a snack, put a podcast on, whatever, we're gonna be here a good while.
The rants
I haven't read that many bad books this year, not even throughout April and May, although some still had to make the cut into the rants. I feel like, the more books I read, the more strict I am with what I like and how many stars they truly deserve. This is the case for Daisy Miller by Henry James which makes a return into my tbr with another one of his novellas. The first one I read, The Turn of the Screw was so boring and uneventful that I really doubted I could come back to his writing. But I love pain, apparently and so I read Daisy Miller and yep, hated it to bits.
It's not that it's bad, it's more the writing that makes it a bit dragging and makes you want to be finished with the book as fast as possible. It's the story of this girl, Daisy as she's on vacation with her family from America and meets this man, Winterbourne who starts courting her. Only, she's young and beautiful and likes to have fun, going to parties and flirting with men. It's about how society used to see women as these chaste creatures with no desires of their own and then go and criticize them once they have it their own way. It could have been a great book if it weren't for James' boring writing.
I've also read a little book of short stories about haunted houses, it's an Italian edition and I don't even know if you can get it anywhere anymore. I got it in a bookish box a while ago, a perfectly used copy with yellowed pages and a vintage cover. I wanted to like it, really, because I love gothic literature, I love houses in general and if they have some bad, unexplained things going on inside, even better. This one was a no for me, I think it's because the stories were very old school so predictable and already done.
Ctrl Alt Delete by Emma Gannon was a surprising no for me. I've read her blog for years and I was very excited to see how her writing would look in book form but I'm sad to say that the whole book could have been a lot shorter and basically translated into a single Instagram post. It's all about growing up alongside the Internet, the trolls and the horny men we used to find on the first websites we were secretly allowed to click into. It's basically every millennial story, nothing new, nothing fun, relatable, yes but to the point where it feels like revisiting the past you've already lived through so it's a bit boring and not fun at all.
The only part I was intrigued by is when she starts writing about finding a job on the Internet, and how she started out her online career, but that only happens from basically halfway through the book and by then you probably have already dnf'ed it. I wish the whole book was about how she got started on her career because that's what really fascinates me but sadly, it didn't deliver.
Asleep is probably my favourite book by Banana Yoshimoto. I've read a few of them and this one just really surprised me. It's a collection of three short stories all about sleep in very different ways: we find the girl who is having an affair with a married man whose wife is in a coma; then another girl who is trying to come to terms with the fact that her brother died and then another girl whose job is to sleep with strangers but is never able to sleep in her own bed. They are linked by the same fil-rouge and Yoshimoto always delivers these heartbreaking stories which are always full of sadness, longing, loneliness and sometimes a bit serendipitous, so why am I ranting about it? Because I never fully love these stories, maybe it's the culture shock factor or the translation which is never able to give you that original feeling, I don't know, but I do highly recommend checking Yoshimoto's writing tho!
Mr. Salary by Sally Rooney, can we talk about it? I get it, it's a short story so it's normal that it just doesn't really have a point but it's bloody Rooney we're talking about! Obviously, I did enjoy it, the writing was great, some quotes were striking, and her obsession with writing about faulty people, broken families, and damaged lives is still there, very palpable and yet, I didn't enjoy it. It's probably because when it comes to Sally Rooney I always want more and she didn't give me that and I think it's a very smart marketing move because I just bought myself a copy of her newest book just to have more of her writing. I wish I was joking.
The Raves
I've read so many great books so far this year, I'm quite shocked! The first book that really surprised me in April was The Girl in Red by Christina Henry. If I read it during the pandemic I would have hated it but now I quite liked it. It's about Red, a girl who has just lost her family to a terrible disease (sounds familiar?) and is now running through the woods to get to her grandma's house. In the woods, the wolves await: men with desire, desperate people ready to do whatever it takes to survive. Obviously is sort of a Red Riding Hood retelling but more modern and apocalyptic, it feels weird that I liked it quite that much.
Magic for Liars by Sarah Gailey was a good surprise too. It was our April Book Club's pick and I'm shocked at how only a few people seem to talk about it. It was so good! It's different from your usual dark academia book as it follows an older woman but it takes place in a magical school where her twin sister works as a teacher and a murder has just happened and she, as a private investigator, has to find out the truth. First of all, it's queer which is always a plus and second, it's so mysterious and well done that I actually haven't guessed who's done it until the very end when all the pieces come together for a very explosive (quite literally!) finale!
Then I did what I tell myself never to do, which is watch or read what everyone else is reading so I obviously fell into the Heartstopper rabbit hole. Do I regret it? Nope! It was wonderful! I knew they were making a series on Netflix but the bookworm in me forced me to read Volume 1 and Volume 2 first before watching the show and my god, what a cute, wholesome adventure it was! It's my first approach to graphic novels as well so I was a bit scared but in the end, it was so fun!
A lot of people told me to read it without even thinking about the fact that I'm almost 30 and these kids are 16 because I would have loved it just as well. I think I loved it even more because I watched it with that burning wish to go back to a time when things were so simple but so hard at the same time and I wish my friends had these books, this show growing up and I wish I had it so that I could have been a better ally. Absolutely amazing! Highly recommend!
The Sentence by Louise Erdrich was quite an intriguing one. It starts off with a woman who is pushed by the love for her friends to sort of steal a dead body without knowing that the corpse carried drugs. Now, that's quite a start, isn't it? The book continues with our main character, Tookie, as she is free from jail and tries to start a new life with her new husband and her new, perfect job at a bookstore. I loved the random, mundane chats between the girls who work at the store, the packing and unpacking of books, the recommendations they give to their customers, I loved it all. Then the book takes a turn when they find out there's a ghost haunting the bookstore, Flora, quite an annoying customer who has decided to stay.
Now, Flora has a very deep, unsettling past which is discovered as we get to the end, but the book also touches on other topics like police brutality, George Floyd, and the pandemic, all interesting discussions but it felt like the author wanted to throw all those elements in there without intention and it felt a bit forced and fake. Overall, a nice book, very pretty writing and yeah, it made me tear up a little in the end.
Then I ventured, yet again, into another new territory: middle grade. They are so fun! And how is it that I don't read enough of them? I should make it a rule to read a middle grade every single month to lighten the mood! I've read Gideon Green in Black and White by Katie Henry and it was the most fun I've had reading a book these past two months! I got an ARC of the book and I wasn't sure at first to be honest but then I started reading a page and then another and I was immediately hooked!
It follows Gideon, a teen with a passion for investigations (I'm starting to sense a pattern forming here) and who's been in a lot of trouble for it at his school so he sort of quits it to stay inside his room to watch old noir films. Until one day his former best friend, Lily, knocks on his door and asks him to help her solve a mystery. BAM! The adventure starts right there and then, with cliffhangers, fun comebacks, romantic dates and the cutest main character I've ever read about! This was a true surprise!
The Duke and I by Julia Quinn was somewhat of a let-down but still, a fun read! I teamed up with Bettina from booksfor.mee and we buddy-read it and came to the conclusion that the show is a lot better because it shows you the characters and the families from a wider angle, we have the friendship between Eloise and Pen and then all the other dynamics between different characters that in the book don't even appear. The author focuses more on Daphne and Simon which I don't mind but at one point it's a little bit boring and repetitive but still, it was so much fun and I think it's also because Bettina and I read it together, exchanging opinions and swooning over the Duke of Hastings. (We are also buddy-reading the other books so stay tuned for that if you want to tag along for the ride!)
And then last, but not certainly least, I read Conversations With Friends by Sally Rooney. Just so you know, I'm on the journey of reading (or re-reading) all of her books so you can expect a whole post about my favourites and what I actually think of them. But yes, I was basically forced to read CWF because the show was about to come out and I wanted to read the book first and WOW. Just wow. I've read the whole thing in one sitting, I even pulled an all-nighter to finish it and honestly? It was better than I had anticipated.
If you're new to Rooney's work, she writes about dysfunctional families, great but also toxic friendships, and damaged people, all done with that relatability factor that always punches you in the feels because she writes about real things that we've all experienced in a way or another and it gets so personal and deep, you start feeling like she might have followed you for a while and then wrote about you for how much her books portray a real-life we could all be a part of. Absolutely amazing.
I know, this was a lot and believe me, it was a lot for me too, especially because I haven't really posted anything on the blog for a while so my writing muscles were a bit rusty. But we've reached the end and now I'm curious to know which books have you read, which ones earned the position into your favourite books? Any disappointing ones? I wanna know!

How is a crisis likely to affect managerial activities and behavior? For example, the machinery broke down at your factory and you have to get the product out within a 24-hour deadline or the contract will be broken and your customer will go to another company "that can produce."
Case Study: Acme Manufacturing Company
Steve Arnold is a production manager at Acme Manufacturing Company in New Jersey. When Steve drove into the parking lot at the plant on Tuesday morning at 8:35, he was already 35 minutes late for work. Steve had overslept that morning because the night before he had stayed up late to finish the monthly production report for his department. He parked his car and entered the rear of the plant building. Passing through the shipping area, Steve spotted his friend George Summers and stopped to ask how work was progressing on the new addition to George's house.
Entering the office at 8:55, Steve greeted his secretary, Ruth Sweeney, and asked whether anything urgent needed his immediate attention. Ruth reminded him of the staff meeting at 9:30 with Steve's boss — Frank Jones, the vice president for Production — and the other production managers. Steve thanked Ruth for reminding him (he had forgotten about the meeting) and continued on to his adjoining inner office to look for the memo announcing the meeting. He vaguely remembered getting the memo in an email one or two weeks earlier, but did not take the time to read it or look at the attached materials.
His phone rang, and it was Sue Bradley, the sales vice president, who was inquiring about the status of a rush order for one of the company's important clients. Steve promised to look into the matter and get back to her later in the day with an answer. Steve had delegated the rush order last week to Lucy Adams, one of his production supervisors, and he had not thought about it since then. Stepping back into the outer office, Steve asked Ruth if she had seen Lucy today. Ruth reminded him that Lucy was at a training workshop in California. She would be difficult to reach until the session ended late in the afternoon, because the workshop facilitators regard cell phone calls and text messages as an unnecessary distraction.
Going back into his office, Steve emailed a message to Lucy asking her to call him as soon as possible. Then, he resumed his search for the memo about the meeting with his boss and the other production managers. He finally found it in his large collection of unprocessed emails. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss a proposed change in quality control procedures. By now it was 9:25, and there was no time to read the proposal. He hurried out to get to the meeting on time. During the meeting, the other production managers participated in the discussion and made helpful comments or suggestions. Steve was not prepared for the meeting and did not contribute much except to say that he did not anticipate any problems with the proposed changes.
The meeting ended at 10:30 and Steve returned to his office, where he found Paul Chen, one of his production supervisors, waiting for him. Paul wanted to discuss a problem caused in the production schedules by a major equipment breakdown. Steve called Glenda Brown, his assistant manager, and asked her to join them to help rearrange the production schedules for the next few days. Glenda came in shortly and the three of them worked on the production schedules. At 11:25, Ruth came in to announce that Mr. Ferris was waiting and he claimed to have an appointment with Steve at 11:30. Steve looked at his calendar but could not find any entry for the appointment. Steve asked Ruth to tell Mr. Ferris that he would be ready shortly.
The schedules were completed around 11:40. Since it was nearly noon, Steve invited Mr. Ferris to join him for lunch at a nearby restaurant. During lunch Steve learned that Mr. Ferris was from one of the firms that provided materials used in the production process at Acme, and the purpose of the meeting was to inquire about some changes in material specifications the company had requested. As Mr. Ferris talked, Steve realized that he would not be able to answer some of the technical questions. When they returned to the plant at 1:15, Steve introduced Mr. Ferris to an engineer who could answer his questions.
Soon after Steve walked back to his office, his boss (Frank Jones) stopped in to ask about the quality report for last week. Steve explained that he had given top priority to finishing the monthly production report and would do the quality report next. Frank was irritated, because he needed the quality data to finalize his proposal for new procedures, and he thought Steve understood this task was more urgent than the production report. He told Steve to get the quality data to him as soon as possible and left. Steve immediately called Glenda Brown and asked her to bring the quality data to his office. The task of reviewing the data and preparing a short summary was not difficult, but it took longer than he anticipated. It was 2:40 by the time Steve completed the report and attached it to an e-mail to his boss.
Looking at his calendar, Steve noticed that he was already late for a 2:30 meeting of the plant safety committee. The committee meets weekly to review safety problems, and each department sends a representative. Steve rushed out to the meeting, which was held in another part of the plant. The meeting was dull this week, without any important issues or problems to discuss. The meeting ended at 3:30, and as Steve walked back through his section of the plant, he stopped to talk to his assistant manager. Glenda wanted some advice on how to resolve a problem in the production assignments for the next day. They discussed the problem for about a half hour. When Steve returned to his office at 4:05, his secretary was just leaving. She reported that Lucy had called before leaving to fly home from the conference.
Steve was feeling tired and decided it was time for him to go home also. As he drove out of the parking lot, Steve reflected that he was getting further behind in his work. He wondered what he could do to get better control over his job.

Eavesdropping Device Found in U.N. Office
GENEVA – A secret listening device found at the Geneva offices of the United Nations (search) was in a room adjoining a main conference hall, where it could have been used to eavesdrop on any private conversations, the global body said Friday.
Secretary of State Colin Powell (search) and other foreign ministers of the U.N. Security Council discussed the situation postwar Iraq in the main hall last year. It was not immediately clear who used the smaller room.
The eavesdropping equipment could be Russian or East European in origin and was made three to four years ago, one expert told Swiss television.
Workers found the device during renovation work this fall on the room, known as the Salon Francais, or French Lounge, said Marie Heuze, spokeswoman for the U.N. office in Geneva.
"I can confirm that in the course of the renovation of the Salon Francais workmen found what is considered to be a sophisticated listening device," Heuze told reporters.
"An investigation failed to determine who planted the device," Heuze said. "I am not authorized to say anything else."
The art deco room in the United Nations' European headquarters adjoins the Salle de Conseil, or Council Chamber, which was used for a meeting of Powell and other foreign ministers of the permanent members of the U.N. Security Council in September 2003.
Officials said they were unsure whether the room with the listening device had been used by any of the ministers.
The device could have been in operation in the run-up to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, judging from the age of the equipment.
The Salon Francais also is the venue for a weekly teleconference meeting between U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan (search) and the head of the Geneva office, Sergei Ordzhonikidze.
The U.N. offices in Geneva were originally used before World War II as headquarters of the League of Nations. The Salon Francais is so called because it was decorated in art deco style by French artist Jules Leleu in 1935.
"Never truly renovated since this date, the room was starting to suffer from the assault of time," the French mission to the U.N. Geneva office said in a newsletter dated Monday.
The room has no other connection with France, Heuze said.
"It's a very sophisticated piece of listening equipment where the sound is picked up and immediately retransmitted," Patrick Daniel Eugster, the head of Geneva-based Surveillance Consulting Group, told the French-language broadcaster Television Suisse Romande, or TSR.
TSR showed photographs of the listening device to Eugster, who said that transmissions from the device would be so short that they would be very difficult to pick up.
"We have a main transmitter with a small antenna," Eugster said, adding that the device was "very probably" made in Russia or Eastern Europe.
"There are two microphones. It was made about three or four years ago, because the different parts are quite big and the parts now on the market are a lot smaller."

Book Reviews, Psychological Struggle
Life from inside the storytelling machine: an author offers caveats on influence tools
By Dr. Amy Zalman
The inside cover promise to "unveil the workings of a 'storytelling machine' more effective and insidious as a means of oppression than anything dreamed up by Orwell," was incentive enough for me to pick up and start reading the recent English translation of French writer Christian Salmon's Storytelling: Bewitching the Modern Mind. Even more compelling for this reader: the 'storytelling machine' in question is one that I have been working in for the last five years, as a proponent of the use of narrative as a tool of influence in U.S. strategic communication.
Is the use of storytelling the sign of an insidious conspiracy, a form of "brainwashing," as Salmon calls it at one point in his book? My answer is an easy "no"–like most conspiracy theories, Salmon's presumes that people and institutions are far more organized and well coordinated than they generally are. Nevertheless, I found Salmon's critique a useful one at a moment when many Americans are concerned that the lines between fiction and fact in our public discourse are blurring (although we are far from agreeing on whether to blame the government, corporations, Fox News or 'the liberal media').
In Salmon's terminology, stories are distinct from the great narratives–Homer, our religious texts, our greatest novelists–that have helped us understand our own humanity and guided us through generations. In contrast, Salmon says, "storytelling goes in the opposite direction: it tacks artificial narratives onto reality, blocks exchanges and saturates symbolic space … it shapes behaviors and channels flows of emotion…. Storytelling establishes narrative systems that lead individuals to identify with models and conform to protocols." This ability of stories to bypass our cognitive faculties and engage us at the level of emotion is, of course, precisely their appeal in national security and defense contexts, and all the more reason to listen to voices that issue caveats.
In the history that Salmon recounts, storytelling is a descendant of propaganda, which gained its present negative connotation in the 1920s. Propaganda begat public relations, which begat marketing and branding which, in an unholy coupling with the Internet, gave us storytelling as a technology of control. By the late 1990s, we were in the full swing of a "storytelling revival." Now we have storytelling management, storytelling marketing and, in effect, storytelling media and storytelling politics.
In Salmon's view, though, the storytelling revival really got underway after 9/11. The author narrates the failed efforts to use marketing methods to tell America's story to a world that did not want to hear it, and the love-love relationship between the Pentagon and Hollywood. In his telling, this century-long attraction between the two poles of American power–military might and cultural clout– has continued into the 21st Century, with the military's efforts to stage-manage the members of the armed forces through immersive training and foreign publics through technology-enabled storytelling.
The Bush administration is described as the apotheosis of Orwellian oppressiveness, exemplified by its consultation of marketers and moviemakers to help make a credible story of a superfluous war. Yet Salmon also sees a systemic problem that transcends party lines. He concludes his book with the observation that Obama is "the embodiment of a new generation of politicians who might be described as semio-politicians, who use signs and symbols rather than programs or promises, and who are less likely to "position" themselves on a traditional spectrum of political forces in order to inspire new ways of thinking about and changing the world."
What a dispiriting note on which to end. Salmon is clearly dissatisfied with this state of affairs, and it is not surprising: his book is limned by nostalgia for a time when empiricism and rationality ruled public discourse. Yet nostalgia is almost inevitably false: a yearning for what never was. Orson Welles did not need the Internet to persuade thousands of radio listeners that aliens had landed on earth in 1938, and there is no moment in human history when institutional power has not sought to control the story. Under the strident charges of conspiracy then, a poignant note–a wish to turn back the clock to a more scientific time. A cultural theorist like Salmon should know better, though: scientific rationality is as much as stylistic lens through which to see artifacts and events as any other mythic frame.
Salmon's path to a false past isn't feasible, but nor is his hopeless conclusion that we have no choice but to be the victims of others' manipulation of our symbolic landscape, whether we think those others are our own government, or a tech-savvy foreign adversary. For the tasks ahead, we will undoubtedly need more imagination, not less, to balance influence, ethics and transparency in our communication work.

Mike,I'm glad there is a Welles buff reading this site. Thank you for the correction. Amy
Matt has kindly made the correction a permanent part of the post, which now correctly notes 1938 as the year that a radio broadcast of H.G. Wells' fictional "War of the Worlds" was believed by many who heard it to be true.

The "War of the Worlds" panic is a myth. Personally, I think that it survives on people's delighting smugly in the thought that there were so many who were supposedly fooled by a radio broadcast, as I do when I see another repeating of the myth.
The Halloween myth of the War of the Worlds panic
By Professor W Joseph Campbell American University, Washington DC
The radio show was so terrifying in its accounts of invading Martians wielding deadly heat-rays that it is remembered like no other radio programme.
Or, more accurately, it is misremembered like no other radio programme.
Radio unreality
The panic and terror so routinely associated with The War of the Worlds dramatisation did not come close to a nationwide dimension that night 73 years ago.
Sure, some Americans were frightened or disturbed by what they heard. But most listeners, overwhelmingly, were not. They recognised it for what it was – a clever and entertaining radio play.
The War of the Worlds dramatisation was the inspiration of Orson Welles, director and star of the Mercury Theatre on the Air, an hour-long programme that aired on Sunday evenings on CBS Radio.
Welles was 23 years old, a prodigy destined for lasting fame as director and star of the 1941 motion picture, Citizen Kane.
His adaptation of The War of the Worlds, a science fiction thriller written by HG Wells and published in 1898, was little short of brilliant.
A radio broadcast of 'The War Of The Worlds' in 1952 Further radio dramatisations of War of the Worlds spread, including this British production in 1952
What made the show so compelling was the use of simulated on-the-scene radio reports telling of the first landing of Martian invaders near Princeton, New Jersey, and their swift and deadly advance to New York City.
American audiences had become accustomed to news reports interrupting radio programmes. They had heard them often during the war scare in Europe in late summer and early autumn of 1938.
Welles played on this familiarity to stunning effect. In doing so, he created a delicious and tenacious media myth.
Newspaper headlines across America told of the terror that Welles' show supposedly created.
"Radio Listeners in Panic, Taking War Drama as Fact," declared the New York Times. "Radio Fake Scares Nation," cried the Chicago Herald and Examiner. "US Terrorized By Radio's 'Men From Mars,'" said the San Francisco Chronicle.
Exaggerated effect
Yet we know from several sources that the reports of thousands of panic-stricken Americans were wildly exaggerated.
Hadley Cantril, a Princeton University psychologist, estimated that six million people listened to The War of the Worlds dramatisation. Of that number, perhaps 1.2 million listeners were "frightened" or "disturbed" by what they heard, Mr Cantril figured.
For newspapers, the so-called "panic broadcast" brought newspapers an exceptional opportunity to censure radio"
"Frightened" and "disturbed," of course, are hardly synonymous with "panic-stricken." Overall, Mr Cantril's data signal that most listeners, by far, were not upset by the show.
Close reading of contemporaneous newspaper reports also reveals the fright that night was highly exaggerated.
Newspapers presented sweeping claims about thousands or even millions of panic-stricken Americans, but offered little supporting documentation.
Most newspapers printed dispatches sent by wire services such as the Associated Press, which extrapolated widespread fear from small numbers of scattered, anecdotal accounts.
Newspapers, moreover, reported no deaths or serious injuries related to The War of the Worlds broadcast: had panic and hysteria seized America that night, the mayhem surely would have caused many deaths and injuries.
For newspapers, the so-called "panic broadcast" brought newspapers an exceptional opportunity to censure radio, a still-new medium that was becoming a serious competitor in providing news and advertising.
Newspaper leader columns in the days immediately after the broadcast helped deepen the impression that Welles' programme had sown hysteria.
"Radio is new but it has adult responsibilities," chided the New York Times. "It has not mastered itself or the material it uses."
Despite its wobbly basis, the myth of mass panic remains steadfastly attached to The War of the Worlds programme. It is part of the lore of Orson Welles, the bad-boy genius who did his best work before he turned 30.
And it's a tale just too delectable not to be true.
W Joseph Campbell is a professor at American University in Washington, DC. He wrote about the myth of The War of the Worlds programme in his latest book, Getting It Wrong. He often writes about media myths at his blog, Media Myth Alert.

600 kWh Battery in Shipping Container
This battery would charge the average US home for about 3 weeks:
According to the US Energy Information Administration, the average annual electricity consumption for a U.S. residential utility customer was 10,766 kilowatt-hours (kWh) in 2016. This is an average of 897kWh per month, around 30kWh per day, or 1,250 watts. (source)
Maersk has teamed with Trident Maritime Systems to create a 600 kWh container battery that can be placed on a container-hauling ship to provide power. The battery is now en route to be installed on the Maersk Cape Town container vessel.
The Cape Town, built in 2011, is flagged from Singapore and carries cargo between West Africa and East Asia. The battery will be installed on the ship in December 2019 and its first voyage with the new technology will happen early in 2020. The battery module was designed to take the place of a cargo container on the ship and can be charged in port, will take charge from the ship's generator, and from the Cape Town's waste heat recovery system. The lattermost system is in place on most Maersk ships and recharges the ship's batteries by using the heat created by engine exhaust to create electrical power.

Even Louisiana's Wealthier Neighborhoods Can't Escape Toxic Air in "Cancer Alley"
Industrial development usually targets poor communities, but Ascension Parish is one of the richest, and most toxic, places in Louisiana. Some residents say the financial benefits of living there outweigh the risks.
After World War II, "you started to see the aggressive push of industry into rural, predominantly black, plantation lands," said Craig Colten, a Louisiana State University history professor who has written books about the state's industrial development.
But Louisiana's love affair with oil and gas, while disproportionately affecting black communities, has hardly spared white communities.
Ascension Parish is perhaps the clearest example of this phenomenon.

Five hundred goats save the Ronald Reagan library from wildfires
Diligent work by a team of 500 goats has helped save the Ronald ReaganPresidential Library from wildfires that are ravaging parts of California.
The library deployed the goat squadron during the spring in order to munch their way through around 13 acres of scrubland around the library that could've provided tinder-like fuel to a wildfire.
This preventive action created a fire break between the library and the Easy fire, which has menaced thousands of homes in the Simi Valley near Los Angeles. More than 1,000 firefighters are tackling the blaze, which caused flames to approach the presidential library from a nearby hillside. Treasures saved include a piece of the Berlin Wall and Air Force One.

PlayStation Classic Uses Open-Source Emulator PCSX ReARMed
digitaltrends.com 11/10/2018 19:56:21 Aaron Mamiit
Having trouble reading this article? Read the Original Article »
The PlayStation Classic, Sony's response to Nintendo's NES Classic and SNES Classic, is powered by an open-source emulator that was made by fans.
Kotaku reported that a list of licenses for open-source software, accessed through the PlayStation Classic menu, revealed that the mini console uses PCSX ReARMed to emulate games from the original PlayStation, which was released 24 years ago.
Nintendo created the emulator that is featured in the NES Classic and SNES Classic, but Sony decided to use fan-made software which was originally designed for the Pandora handheld.
Sony's usage of the PCSX ReARMed emulator in the PlayStation Classic is allowed, as the software is open source. However, it may be considered unexpected, as the company has not been entirely friendly with the emulation community.
Video game companies, including Sony and Nintendo, have filed lawsuits against emulator makers, in a bid to stop piracy. This makes the decision to use an open-source, fan-made emulator in the PlayStation Classic an ironic one, as it essentially acknowledges all the hard work that Sony itself is trying to stamp out.
While it may be viewed as laziness on Sony's part, PCSX ReARMed in the PlayStation Classic makes sense. Instead of devoting time and resources to creating an official emulator, why not use software that has been developed and tested for years?
Emulators themselves have never been illegal. The problem that video game companies have is that emulators encourage people to illegally download ROMs, which are pirated copies of games, to play on the software. With the PCSX ReARMed in the PlayStation Classic, Sony is highlighting one of the most popular PlayStation emulators, while eliminating the illegal aspects of playing retro games.
The PlayStation Classic uses an open source emulator, PCSX. Lesser educated people might see this as a cause of frustration, but here's the reality: it's an acknowledgement that an "amateur" emulator can be just as valid as an "official" one (and they're usually better!). pic.twitter.com/zJztoiYiwT
— Frank Cifaldi (@frankcifaldi) November 8, 2018
The PlayStation Classic will be released on December 3 with a price tag of $100. Pre-orders are currently being accepted for the console, which looks very much like the original PlayStation but 45 percent smaller.
Sony pre-loaded the PlayStation Classic with 20 PlayStation titles, including Final Fantasy VII, Grand Theft Auto, and Twisted Metal. Out of the 15 games that we wanted to see on the retro console, Metal Gear Solid, Syphon Filter and Rayman made it to the list, leaving classics such as Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Final Fantasy Tactics, Suikoden II, Xenogears, and Parasite Eve out in the cold.

Ella Barnes-Williams visits the thrift shop associated with Martha's Table, a nonprofit social services organization in Washington, D.C.
Phung Tran is an advocate with Health Leads, based at the Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C.
Ella Barnes-Williams is dealing with a lot right now.
For starters, her government-subsidized house in Northeast Washington, D.C., leaks when it rains. She points at a big brown splotch on the ceiling.
"It's like mold, mold, mold all over," she says. "I've got to clean that now 'cause that just came back."
Barnes-Williams is 54 and lives with her 30-year-old daughter and three young grandchildren. All three grandkids have severe asthma, which makes the mold a serious problem. And she and her daughter are diabetic.
On top of the housing and health problems, Barnes-Williams hasn't had steady work for more than a decade. At the end of most months, the family runs out of food.
As if all that weren't enough, their house was recently robbed — twice. "They, like, went shopping in my house," Barnes-Williams says. "They even stole the kids' school uniforms."
But she isn't the type of person to give up. Though she dropped out of high school as a teenager, she went back to school and got her diploma at age 46. She now attends community college, attends career training workshops and volunteers on political campaigns.
There's also a steady stream of visitors to her house because she's a notary public. She receives $2 per stamped document, which she says helps with small costs around the house.
But, despite being hardworking and well-connected in her community, Barnes-Williams didn't know about a wide range of social programs that are available to help her family — until she met a young man named Phung Tran.
Tran grew up in Washington, D.C., and is a senior at the University of Maryland. Two days a week, he comes to a small office in the Children's National Medical Center to make phone calls through a program called Health Leads.
"I connect low-income families at the hospital with different resources in the area," Tran says.
He first started working with Barnes-Williams a few months ago. She had about 10 specific needs, he discovered — many related to food, clothing and housing. "It was kind of overwhelming at first," he says.
So they made a list and started working through the items, one by one. Her top priority was food; Tran referred her to a local food pantry that now provides the family with free groceries once a month.
Next was furniture: Tran found an organization that gave Barnes-Williams a couch, shelves, lamps, a drawing board and puzzles for the grandkids.
Now he's helping address the mold problem, by connecting Barnes-Williams with an organization called Breathe DC, which provides air purifiers, vacuum cleaners and specific advice on how to stop mold.
Tran is also lining up summer activities for Barnes-Williams' grandkids, including a camp geared toward kids with asthma.
Health Leads operates in seven cities across the U.S. and has more than a thousand volunteer advocates, the vast majority of whom are college students. It was founded by Rebecca Onie. Now the organization's CEO (and recipient of a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship in 2009) Onie came up with the idea as a college sophomore in the 1990s. While volunteering at a hospital in Boston, she often asked doctors this question: If you had unlimited resources, what's the one thing you would give your patients?
The answer that came back over and over again, she says, was food, transportation, or a better place to live, because those were the real problems — and the underlying cause of many patients' health problems.
This led Onie to imagine an entirely different kind of health care system — "one in which a physician or nurse could prescribe basic resources that a patient needs to be healthy, like heat in the winter or access to healthy food," she says.
And that's exactly what Health Leads does. It trains doctors to ask patients about their social needs and then connects patients with organizations that can meet those needs.
Onie says the long-term goal is to show that providing patients with better food, housing, transportation and so on not only improves patients' health, but also reduces the cost of health care. She and her team are collecting data to try to make that case.
"Then we can work closely with health care systems across the country," she says, "to really make [addressing social needs] an integral part of how they deliver care."
Since Ella Barnes-Williams began working with Health Leads a few months ago, she has been making regular trips to Martha's Table, a food pantry in Washington, D.C. She had no idea how much help was out there, she says. She just needed someone to help her find it.
This story is part of the NPR series, What Shapes Health? The series explores social and environmental factors that affect health throughout life. It is inspired, in part, by findings in a recent poll by NPR, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
Most Americans understand their health as an issue that goes way beyond medicine. A survey finds many Americans link social factors to their health. By social factors, they mean obvious issues like food and also less obvious factors like housing and unemployment.
It can all affect people's health according to that survey by NPR, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Social factors can hurt your health when you do not know how to connect with people and programs to improve your situation. And as part of our series What Shapes Health, NPR's Anders Kelto profiles volunteers who help to make the connection.
ANDERS KELTO, BYLINE: Ella Barnes-Williams is dealing with a lot right now. For starters, her government-subsidized house in northeast Washington, D.C., leaks when it rains. She points some brown patches of mold on the ceiling.
ELLA BARNES-WILLIAMS: (Laughter). I got to clean that now 'cause that just came back. It's like mold, mold, mold all over, so I've been cleaning.
KELTO: Barnes-Williams is 54 and lives with her 30-year-old daughter and three young grandchildren. She and her daughter are both diabetic and all three grandkids have severe asthma, which makes the mold a serious problem. She pulls out a big plastic basket.
BARNES-WILLIAMS: This is all medicine for allergy and asthma. My daily life is a grandmother trying to make sure all the kids are taken care of.
BARNES-WILLIAMS: My house was robbed twice. They, like, went shopping in my house. They even stole the kids' uniforms for school. I know I heard everything, but take the kids' uniforms so they can't go to school?
KELTO: But let me give you a sense of the kind of person that Ella Barnes-Williams is. After dropping out of high school, she went back and got her diploma when she was 46. She attends community college and volunteers on political campaigns. She keeps the family's paperwork in a neatly organized binder.
BARNES-WILLIAMS: Birth certificate and health records - see me stacked up? Look at this.
KELTO: And people are constantly stopping by her house.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #1: Can you do something for me?
KELTO: Because Ella Barnes-Williams is also a notary and she takes the job seriously, even the oath.
BARNES-WILLIAMS: Is everything true to your knowledge of the document you just signed?
BARNES-WILLIAMS: Is it complete without error as far as you know?
KELTO: But despite being well-connected in her community, Barnes-Williams didn't know about her organizations that could help her family - until she met a young man named Phung Tran.
PHUNG TRAN: Hey, Ms. Barnes-Williams. Hi, how are you?
KELTO: Tran is a senior at the University of Maryland. And two days a week, he comes to a small office in the Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C., and makes phone calls as part of a program called Health Leads.
TRAN: So I connect different families here at the hospital, more specifically the low-income families, to different resources in the area.
KELTO: He started working with Ella Barnes-Williams a few months ago.
TRAN: It was kind of overwhelming at first because there were a bunch of needs. There were, like, nine or 10 specific needs that she needed - food, clothing, some housing resources.
KELTO: So they made a list and started working through these needs one by one. First, he referred her to a food pantry. Then he connected her with an organization that gave her a couch, shelves, lamps and even a drawing board and puzzles for the grandkids. Now he's helping her with the mold problem and lining up summer activities for the kids.
TRAN: So in regards to the summer camps, there's also one that's catered for kids with asthma.
REBECCA ONIE: If you had unlimited resources, what's the one thing you would give your patients?
ONIE: The physician or nurse can prescribe the basic resources that a patient needs to be healthy, like heat in the winter or access to healthy food, the same way that she could prescribe medication.
KELTO: And that's basically what Health Leads does. It trains doctors to ask patients about their social needs, and it connects those patients with organizations that can help. Onie says the long-term goal is to prove that better access to food, housing, transportation and so on not only improves patients' health, it reduces the cost of health care.
ONIE: And then we can work closely with health care systems across the country to really make this an integral part of how they deliver care.
KELTO: Health Leads is now collecting data to make that case.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #2: Hi, how are you?
BARNES-WILLIAMS: I'm fine, how you doing today?
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #2: I am doing well.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #2: Come on in. Let's do some shopping.
KELTO: Since Ella Barnes-Williams connected with Health Leads a few months ago, she's been making regular trips to Martha's Table food pantry in Washington, D.C. She often brings her 11-year-old grandson, Malachi.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #2: So, Malachi, you get to choose four different vegetables today.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #2: Sweet peas, OK.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #2: Green beans.
KELTO: Barnes-Williams says all this food really helps, and she says she didn't know how much help was out there. She just needed someone to help her find it. Anders Kelto, NPR News, Washington. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
The University of Florida's Dr. Nancy Hardt has an unusual double specialty: She's both a pathologist and an OB-GYN. For the first half of her career, she brought babies into the world. Then she switched — to doing autopsies on people after they die.
It makes perfect sense to her.
"Birth, and death. It's the life course," Hardt explains.
When I was just beginning my third year as a medical student, I learned an important lesson about what matters most in health.
It was a typical summer afternoon in St. Louis, with the temperature and humidity both approaching 100. My patient was a woman in her 40s who was being admitted to the hospital because her lungs were filling with fluid, a complication of kidney failure. She had missed all three dialysis appointments that week.

}}Olaflúr''' je organska spojina s fluorom, ki se za preventivo zobne gnilobe nanese na zobno površino. Uporablja se kot sestavina zobnih past in raztopin za ustno votlino. Na trgu je že od leta 1966. Zlasti v kombinaciji z dektafluorjem se uporablja v gelih za zdravljenje zgodnjih oblik zobne gnilobe, občutljivih zob ter v profesionalnih izdelkih, ki jih uporabljajo zobozdravniki za refluoridacijo poškodovane sklenine.

Preveliko odmerjanje
Preodmerjanje olafluorja lahko vodi v draženje ustne sluznice. Pri občutljivih posameznikih lahko draženje povzročijo že običajni odmerki. Kot tudi druge fluorove soli je olaflur toksičen, če se uporablja v visokih odmerkih in v daljšem trajanju. Zlasti pri otrocih, ki še nimajo stalnih zob, lahko preveliko odmerjanje povzroči zobno fluorozo, ki se kaže kot razbarvanje in oslabitev sklenine.

Pri akutnem zaužitju prevelikega odmerka, na primer, če posameznik pogoltne pripravek z olaflurjem, se kot protisredstvo lahko uporabi kalcij v kateri od peroralnih oblik. Uporabi se lahko mleko, saj vsebuje kalcij.

Interakcije
Ker je kalcijev fluorid praktično netopljiv v vodi, zdravila in hrana, ki vsebujejo kalcij, zavre delovanje olaflurja.

Kemične lastnosti in mehanizem delovanja
Olaflur je sol, ki v strukturi vsebuje alkilaminska kationa in fluoridna aniona. Zaradi dolge lipofilne ogljikovodične verige ima alkilaminski kation lastnosti površinsko aktivne snovi. Na zobni površini tvori filmski sloj, iz katerega oddaja fluoridne ione, le-ti pa se vgrajujejo v sklenino. Hidroksiapatit, primarni mineral sklenine, se v vrhnjih slojih zaradi vezave fluoridnih ionov pretvarja v odpornejši fluoroapatit. Fluoridacija doseže globino le nekaj nanometrov, kar poraja vprašanja, ali je tvorba fluoroapatita res bistveni mehanizem delovanja.
