The view from the third base (away) side of Sajik. April 2013, KIA Tigers v Lotte Giants.
What is it? Sajik Baseball Stadium is located in the coastal city of Busan and is the home of the Lotte Giants, one of the oldest professional teams in the KBO. The stadium was built in 1985 and has a capacity of 26,800. Although the stadium is aging, it is an iconic location for fans of the KBO (especially Lotte fans), and is a great evening option after spending time on the beaches of Busan.
How can I get there? Since Busan is a very large city, with a good subway system, getting to the stadium is quite simple and easy. Hop on the 3 line (brown) to Sajik station (사직역), From there head out of exit 1 and continue south. At the first intersection, turn right and continue down that road. This will bring you to the home base side of the stadium, you will see it quickly. Alternatively, there are several buses that run to Sajik Baseball Stadium (사직야구장) bus stop, that is located right in front of the stadium.

Can I buy food and drink? Since Sajik is a pretty old stadium, the food options are fairly limited. It has the requisite convenience stores, where beer, snacks, and other drinks are available. Additionally, it has several fried chicken vendors located inside and outside of the stadium, and these are currently still allowed into the stadium. As per recent rules changes, you can not bring beer and soju into the stadium from outside.
What if I want to buy some merchandise? As per usual for KBO stadiums there is a fan shop on the home base side of the stadium. Also, as is typical of almost all KBO stadiums, home team gear only. However, what sets this fan shop apart is the massive variety of jerseys, hats, and other Lotte Giants swag that is available in the shop. Since Lotte has been the team sponsor since their inception, the Giants have many different retro and modern uniforms and styles.
Where should I sit? Lotte is a very popular team in Busan, therefore sitting on the home side will provide you with a lot of excitement. However, since the team is so popular, it can be difficult getting these seats. Like most stadiums in Korea, the home side is on the first base side, and the away side is on the third base side. Additionally, there are quite a few seats in the outfield section. Since Sajik is shaped like a shallow bowl, you generally have a pretty good view wherever you sit.
Home plate seats at Sajik. When the team is doing well (not often these days), weekend seats at Sajik are more valuable than gold.
Is there any post-game entertainment? There is a fairly wide variety of restaurants and bars located near the stadium, and you will probably see a lot of people hanging around for a while in their fan gear. However, in general, most of your post-game fun will be in other areas. If shopping and movies are more your thing, then there is a HomePlus and CGV movie theater just south of the stadium.
Oh, I need a ticket. Can I get one? Although the home fans are usually very eager to go to the games, there are generally a limited number of away fans. This means that getting tickets on the away side or outfield should be fairly easy. There are ticket booths on the second level to the right and left of the home plate side, main entrance. However, the home side could be quite difficult to get tickets for, so you should probably book the tickets online.
If you want tickets, please click on the highlighted link where you'll find a stadium map, prices and an internet reservation section.


Appreciating the steps taken by the Deputy Commissioner Kishtwar Angrez Singh Rana for conducting verification of works executed under CDF and MPLAD, District President People's Democratic Party Kishtwar Sheikh Nasir Hussain has said that this bold decision taken by the Deputy Commissioner will help in keeping check over the misuse of funds worth crores meant for the development of the area.
In a statement issued to press, Sheikh Nasir has said that need of the hour is to conduct a thorough enquiry into the execution of works not only during the current year but for the last two decades as it has been learnt that crores of funds have been misused during the previous regimes. Nasir has said that he has been repeatedly raising the issue of misuse of crores of rupees by Congress MLA from Inderwal and demanding an enquiry. Despite bringing the matter to the notice of the authorities concerned no action has been taken so far. Sheikh Nasir has disclosed that there is massive abuse of constituency Development Funds by the MLA in Inderwal and in a recent case which has come to fore lakhs of rupees have been released against a non-existing work that too falling in another constituency.
While giving more details Nasir has said that payment has been released through Block Development Officer Drabshalla in the name of Thathri-Drabshalla alternate road, where as no work of proposed alternate road has been executed in any panchayat of block Drabshalla. He has further said that identification of work and issuance of release letter by the MLA despite knowing the fact that no work of such nature has been executed in his constituency makes it clear that he is responsible for this misappropriation and on his patronage the then BDO who was also placed under suspension for several frauds and other officials have prepared false bills and completed the formalities on papers to carry out the scam. PDP district President has appealed the higher authorities to conduct a separate enquiry through some independent and special team to verify the works executed in Inderwal during the last 15 years under the head CDF and MPLAD.

Non-traditional students are far more focused on outcomes than their traditional-aged counterparts. Looking for immediate impact from their educational experience, this population puts a great deal of value in labor market relevance. Additionally, given the competing priorities on their time, this demographic expects a great deal of efficiency and consumer-minded practice from their institution. In this interview, Merodie Hancock discusses how institutions can work to ensure they are meeting the sky-high expectations of their non-traditional students.
The EvoLLLution (Evo): Why are non-traditional students more focused on ROI than their traditional-age counterparts?
Merodie Hancock (MH): They're both interested in ROI, but the non-traditional student has the more specific focus on ROI; they need to see immediate impact. For traditional-aged students, it's a more qualitative ROI. The non-traditional student is really looking to have that return on investment available right after they walk out of class.
This has a lot of impact on relevance. This is one of the things I struggle with quite a bit. If they are interested in an immediate ROI, which is almost always employment-defined, do they then miss out on studying the theory and understanding how the theory might impact or inform their practice? We might lose the theory if we're only focusing on the on-the-job ROI.
Evo: Given this focus on employment outcomes, should institutions looking to better serve non-traditional students focus on offering more non-credit programming or short course/certificate programming?
MH: Institutions should offer non-credit programming, short courses and certificate programming to serve the non-traditional audience. We need to be very careful that we don't disadvantage the non-traditional student, which is now our majority population. Our traditional students have a plethora of options and schools with different cultures, systems and resources and focus on different areas. Some have a far larger student life component or a far larger research component. You want to build that same array for non-traditional students. We should have opportunities that they can grab onto immediately, not only to update their skills but that can also be reflected on a CV.
Evo: Return on investment is a big term in the higher ed space. Outcomes obviously play a major role, but for the customer-minded non-traditional student, how important are elements of the student experience like ease of registration and payment, or availability of academic support?
MH: Time is a huge resource for these students and where do you want them to spend their time—do you want them to spend it in the learning process or in the registration process? They are going to do the best for their investment and they're going to spend it in the learning process.
If we break that down to the other part around student services, this is where colleges, many of them, need to stop trying to be everything to everybody and focus on different areas and do them well. We're all trying to focus on veterans, for example, and we're all doing a really good job but some schools are really investing heavily in that and all probably can't afford to invest in the same level.
Ultimately, non-traditional students aren't willing to go through the same runaround that a traditional student will. The non-traditional student isn't going to sit and wait in line all day, and they now have other options available where they don't have to. A lot of schools have really perfected those processes.
Evo: What are a few of the roadblocks that stand in the way of these kinds of changes?
MH: We're all trying to be all things to all people and that's hard. We're all trying to chase the numbers. There's a real economics game going on that didn't exist in traditional education. The cost of recruitment—specifically in the marketing aspect and lead generation aspect—has had a huge impact on resources. As we all compete across state borders and for the same populations, it's an arms war in the marketing race.
The other piece for the traditional schools is that there's a redirection of resources. As you start to transfer in more students, as more students come in with prior learning credits or other transfer credits—especially at the 100 and 200 levels—you have students not taking those courses at your institution, which affects the upper year courses that are funded by this revenue.
A lot of schools thought non-traditional students would be a cash cow to fund other resources and programs, but if you do it right it's not that. It is not a cash cow and we can't just be looking at cranking out the students and increasing our marketing budgets to get more students. We need to be thinking about what marketing resources we give these students, what programs we have, where we specialize; and then keep that going.
Evo: What are steps that leaders can take that can make those types of changes easier to digest for stakeholders across the institution?
MH: If you're an existing college you need to know your college; understand your specific strengths as well as your goal. Then you need to start thinking about how to include these features for non-traditional students. How do you start making the institution more flexible? Are you forcing all your non-traditional students into a one-size-fits-all education?
Evo: How can higher education institutions change to address the needs and expectations of the growing non-traditional population of students?
MH: If you're a traditional school, probably the best way is to start with a group of motivated faculty. Find strong voices within your faculty core that want to look at this and want to reimagine how they do business, how they deliver courses.
A huge difference in the larger non-traditional schools is that many don't have a traditional faculty base. If we want the traditional schools to move forward, it's easier to move forward with a large at-will base faculty than it is to move forward with a tenured group of faculty who have a strong investment in the curriculum. Then you want to take the experts who know that curriculum and have them help build it up.
Evo: What are some of those fundamental changes that a leader would have to push on the administrative side of the institution to ensure they're meeting the customer expectations of non-traditional students?
MH: Part of it is investment. It's important to recognize that this is not the cash cow that a lot of presidents, CFOs and CAOs hoped it would be. There's a very large investment around the technology, the data, and the systems needed to get information to students and administrators as they need it.
It's also investing in support staff. Often, non-traditional students are first-generation students. There's a lot more work needed to support them on the financial side, such as advising around financial aid, student accounts, pieces like that. These students often have a pay-as-you-go mentality and institutions really have to help them work through this investment: making sure they can pay for courses, identify resources, ensuring they're not eliminating their financial aid to pay for things like housing without furthering their degree.
On the administrative side, it's not as cheap as some would hope to maximize value for non-traditional students, especially if you want them to be successful.
Evo: Is there anything you'd like to add about how to go about meeting the advanced expectations of non-traditional students when it comes to providing them value on their education investment?
MH: Ironically enough, it's still people-dependent. This is a scared population in many ways. Higher education is new to them and they're not going to just trust you. They have to see the return on investment immediately. You need to get a dedicated and nimble group of faculty and administrators who are going to start building the processes, and then you spread it across the college.
Non-traditional students base a large portion of value on relevance and skill-acquisition, making certificates and other work-read programs a priority.
Creating a good program for non-traditional students is not cheap, and senior leaders need to stop looking at these units as cash cows.
Aligning everyone at units serving non-traditional students around the needs of this group will lead to the development of business processes that can add value across the rest of campus.

Texas Lawmakers Should Prohibit The Sale Of Palcohol Or Powered Alcohol One Of Only Three States That Allow While 30 States Have Bans In Place
bySummar Thomas-Mosby
Media Contact: Summar Thomas-Mosby, IMPACT Garland Coalition Coordinator
Email: smosby@dpri.com
(Garland, Texas) — More than 30 states have banned "Palcohol" or powdered alcohol as a prevention measure under the advisement of public health experts. Texas remains one of three states in which Palcohol will be available for purchase if the state legislature does not take measures to prohibit its sale.
The American Medical Association (AMA) supports state and federal laws banning Palcohol in the United States. AMA stated that the product could "cause serious harm to minors and should be banned."
"Alcohol is the number one substance of abuse among young people," says Becky Vance, president and CEO of Drug Prevention Resources. "To add another alcohol product, in the form of flavored powder that is virtually undetectable and has an unknown potency level, is not only irresponsible but reprehensible."
The product can be snorted or combined with other alcoholic products, further increasing its potency. Palcohol is packaged in a way that makes it easier for youth to access, carry, and consume, increasing the potential for its dissemination in classrooms and other social settings.
IMPACT Garland and IMPACT Communities, programs of Drug Prevention Resources, believes that it is important to be proactive rather than reactive. Increasing community education and awareness about substances like Palcohol is the first step in preventing youth substance use disorders.
Drug Prevention Resources unites students, families and communities in a common desire to power change and flourish in positive, drug-free environments. For more information, visit DrugPrevResources.org.

The people of West Papua have been suffering under Indonesian occupation since 1963. Over 500,000 civilians have been killed, and thousands more have been raped, tortured and imprisoned. Foreign media and human rights groups are banned from operating in West Papua, so people rarely hear about the situation there. The Free West Papua Campaign is bringing the story of West Papua to the world and campaigning for freedom and justice in West Papua, to end the violence of the last 50 years.

Q: Data Binding and throwing exception in setter Let's say I have a simple class
public class Person
{
  public string Name { get; set; }

  private int _age;
  public int Age
  {
    get { return _age; }
    set
    {
      if(value < 0 || value > 150)
        throw new ValidationException("Person age is incorrect");
      _age = value;
    }
  }
}

Then I want to setup a binding for this class:
txtAge.DataBindings.Add("Text", dataSource, "Name");

Now if I enter incorrect age value in the text box (say 200) the exception in the setter will be swallowed and I will not be able to do anything at all until I correct the value in the textbox. I mean the textbox will not be able to loose focus. It's all silent - no errors - you just can't do anything (even close the form or the whole application) until you correct the value.
It seems like a bug, but the question is: what is a workaround for this?

A: Ok, here is the solution:
We need to handle BindingComplete event of BinsingSource, CurrencyManager or BindingBanagerBase class.  The code can look like this:
/* Note the 4th parameter, if it is not set, the event will not be fired.
It seems like an unexpected behavior, as this parameter is called
formattingEnabled and based on its name it shouldn't affect BindingComplete
event, but it does. */
txtAge.DataBindings.Add("Text", dataSource, "Name", true)
.BindingManagerBase.BindingComplete += BindingManagerBase_BindingComplete;

...

void BindingManagerBase_BindingComplete(
  object sender, BindingCompleteEventArgs e)
{
  if (e.Exception != null)
  {
    // this will show message to user, so it won't be silent anymore
    MessageBox.Show(e.Exception.Message);
    // this will return value in the bound control to a previous correct value
    e.Binding.ReadValue();
  }
}

The ability to "read the play" is a quality often ascribed to successful politicians, businessmen and sportsmen. The term refers to the ability to predict events and then to take an advantageous position in expectation of the prediction coming to fruition. In the sporting arena it is best seen in champion tennis players like Lew Hoad whose anticipation allowed him simply to "materialise behind an opponent's ball" (Underwood, 2007), and modern Aboriginal footballers with their uncanny foreknowledge of the way an oblong ball is about to bounce.
I was thinking about prescience recently when reading a wonderful Russian memoir Last Boat to Astrakhan (Haupt, 1998). Robert Haupt was an Australian writer and traveller (he died just before this book was published) who spent five years in Russia between 1990 and 1996. Towards the end of this time he took a boat trip down the Volga River from Moscow to the ancient trading city of Astrakhan, where the Volga flows into the Caspian Sea. The boat trip provides the backdrop to the book's observations on Russia and Russians.
Russian history (not unlike history elsewhere) is replete with examples of fools in charge, but in Russia the fools very often seemed to be notably dangerous and ruthless. Haupt touches on the failures of the Romanovs (who for almost 300 years presided over a country in which the bulk of the population were either serfs or Counts), but provides his best insights into the Bolshevik and Communist eras, as well as the tragic consequences for ordinary Russians of the collapse of the USSR.
Haupt is also wryly humorous. For example he notes that the ugliness of Stalinist architecture is fortuitously counterbalanced by the inferiority of Stalinist concrete.
…one day I told him how hard I found it to live without freedom, and what a bad effect the lack of freedom had on Russia and Soviet culture. I argued that the Soviet State would not necessarily collapse if it lifted certain restrictions in the cultural sphere. If it allowed abstract art, if it published Pasternak's Doctor Zhivago, and Anna Akhmatova's Requiem, and so on. If anything a slight thaw would benefit Russian culture and the Soviet State!
'Of course the State won't founder because of such trifles' said my colleague. 'But you are forgetting the effect all this would have on Poland'.
'What does Poland have to do with it,' I asked, perplexed, 'when the point is they should publish Pasternak in Moscow'.
"So let it break up," I said "Russia would be only better off".
Thirty years before it occurred, Sinyavski's colleague had read the fall of the dominos (the play) with uncanny accuracy, and he foretold the way in which the ultimate play (the collapse of the USSR) would unfold.
Haupt refers to the Soviet philosophy of cultural and intellectual repression as "the iron logic of empire", and recounts how Sinyavski himself suffered from it, being sentenced in 1966 to seven years hard labour for publishing anti-Soviet writings abroad. Times had changed however. In the 1930s, the Communists would have got away with this, and no-one would have heard of Sinyavski ever again. In the 1970s Sinyavski became an international emblem of Breshnevian repression following the Krushchevian relaxation. To acute observers this reinforced the famous line of de Tocqueville that 'there is no more dangerous moment for a repressive regime than the one at which it begins to reform itself'.
In Haupt's view, and looking at it from the Soviet perspective, the most significant "error" made by the USSR was in not sending armoured divisions storming into Poland and crushing Solidarity as once they had stormed into Hungary and Czechoslovakia and crushed the embryo nationalist and socialist movements in those countries. Once Poland had been "allowed to get away with it" the house of cards started its inevitable collapse.
To me, one of the saddest stories in the book is about the Volga River itself. Once one of the world's greatest and busiest commercial and domestic waterways, its management was progressively abandoned during the last years of the USSR. It has now become so silted up that ferries like the one on which Haupt travelled can no longer navigate its shallows, and the system of lights and markers has been allowed to decay beyond the point at which they are fixable.
Haupt is more of a historian and an observer than a "reader of the play" and he does not go on to predict the advent of the new Russia, with the ex-KGB Chief Vladimir Putin firmly in control of the government, the Mafia in control of commerce and the Chechins in revolt. But he does foreshadow the problems with environmental degradation, and the failure of the environmental managers, which may well turn out to be one of the greatest legacies of the Soviet era.
A little clarification here. Putin was a lieutnant in the KGB ( a low grade). That was why Boris Yeltsin choose him as a successor as he thought he was easy to manipulate. He did have wrong , Putin is now ruling with an iron hand.
We thought the cold war was over, but then along came Putin, and things are getting decidedly chilly again.
Some of those in the west who saw Soviet Communism an idealogy, swapped the red flag for a green flag following its collapse.
With the resurgence of the "cold war," perhaps the green zealots will leave us alone and flock once again under the red banner.
After all, most of them are watermelons: green-skinned, but red throughout the rest.
Thanks for the information on your Uncle Vladimir. Foolishly believing the news media, I thought he was a Lieutenant-Colonel in the KGB. But failure in the military is no barrier to political success. My own Uncle Adolph only rose to corporal in the infantry, but did rather well (for a while) in politics. I believe Luke's Uncle Saddam actually failed the entrance exams for the Baghdad Military Academy. Possibly Schiller had an Uncle Idi who was a sergeant in the King's African Rifles?
So how does this link to Roger's post, which I find rather abstruse? Well, Shakespeare said that 'all the world's a stage', so maybe 'reading the play' has another meaning, in Russia and elsewhere.
Reading the prolix climate drivel bandied back and forth on other threads makes me think of theatre. Scene – a luxury hotel in Bali. Enter, stage left, various officials. 'When shall we 10,000 meet again, in thunder, lightning, or in rain? When the climate change is done, when the battle's lost and won … Fair is foul, and foul is fair; hover through the fog and filthy air…' (backdrop of steam arising from power station cooling towers).

Alice Hui-sheng Chang: Two step forward and one step back
Interviewed by ficus S, Translated by Penny Lim
中文訪談請按此
Tainan-based Alice Hui-sheng Chang is a sound improviser, art therapist and co-founder of sound organization Ting Shuo Hear Say. Alice weaves between the many facets of her practice with a focus on social connections, togetherness, and the possibilities of non-lingual communication. As a musician, she creates performances as site-specific responses, using a dynamic range of timbres and textures to amplify the acoustic qualities of a space, while also responding to the social conditions in the room. She regularly collaborates with fellow artists/musicians, including 12 Dog Cycle, an experimental duo with sound artist Nigel Brown. Alice is currently working on her solo 12-track album based on Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland." She is also projecting towards a forthcoming residency in Belgium early 2021. lololol sits down with Alice to discuss her experiences with sound, connection and the nonverbal.

Q: Can you talk about your work with sound in Tainan?
Before returning to Taiwan, Nigel [my partner] and I had performed in Melbourne, Europe and various places. We mostly played for audiences who were familiar with the scene of experimental music, and we appreciated the coming together of people from common backgrounds and shared languages. When we returned to Taiwan 12 years ago, there was a sense of freedom to go beyond the limitations we had previously put on ourselves. Sometimes we would perform for first time listeners of experimental music, which would bring a fresh energy, a new curiosity or excitement to the room. To this day, the audience for Ting Shuo Hear Say remains quite a mix—having people come from different musical backgrounds, it is a constant challenge to translate our music to a diverse crowd.
Q: On top of running Ting Shuo Hear Say, you are also an art therapist and sound artist. Do these fields of work correlate with each other?
In my own practice, my work as an artist and art therapist go hand in hand. When I run group art therapy sessions, I try to respond to the various expectations or non-expectations in the room. I seek to 'hold' the variety of connections that make up the flow of energy in the group. This act of holding is important in my art practice as well, in which I explore how people connect with each other. I use voice as my instrument because it is the most direct communication, and when I perform, I feel I am creating a spider web for holding everything together.
When audiences come from different backgrounds, the weight of how each individual leans into the performance varies quite a lot. I try to tune into what is happening in the space, it could be emotions, states of being, or all kinds of body expressions—Is he relaxed? How much of her hair is standing up? Are they immersed in their own inner reflection or inner imagination? For me it is all these small observations that reveal the connections in the room. The observing process is not so much in the head, it is more empirical; by experience and practice, observations become heightened and there is a sensitive tuning process involved while I respond to the collective feeling and atmosphere in the space.
Q: As a performer, how do you see your relationship with the audience?
There's a saying, "Two step forward and one step back," which gives me an image of someone perpetually getting somewhere, slowly. This image relates to my own interpretation of existential theory, which is that loneliness is the core of our existence, and while we come and go as individual bodies, a core aim of life is to connect with each other. During my performances, sometimes I do feel such a [connection between people].
For me, performing is not about selling an idea, it is a medium for people to transition together and enter a realm of suspended space and time. This process involves trusting that every individual has his or her value and identity. Trusting that in a finite time, togetherness will happen and will happen here, and afterwards, we will separate again.
My way of engaging with people is very different from the educational system in which I grew up. My school system upheld a hierarchy between teacher and students and maintained that students should be shaped or formed into a certain mold.
I believe that everyone is different, there is no unified way, and in my performances, the audience takes in something as their own reflection, their mirrored self, and directs this feedback into whatever they are thinking or whoever they are in that moment in time. After the performance, every individual takes away some residue from the collective experience.

Q: Do you always work with an audience?
Sometimes, without an audience, I can work with images or texts in my head. Sometimes, there are from dreams I have had, stories I have read, or just inspirations from my own imagination. I once made a performance using a scene from a Haruki Murakami novel, which described a feeling of sinking down into the ocean, sinking down, losing breath, continually sinking, and so on. I did a couple performances with this departure point. Perhaps for me it is a sad narrative about someone who has lived a life not having their own say and feeling getting more and more choked up. What attracts me to such sorrow is its complexity.
Sometimes I find that images are able to describe what language cannot. The ocean, forests, the moon, and scenery…these are typical themes for poets and artists because there are no words that can quite describe them. I attempt to embody an image by putting it inside my body; I feel it and try to form it out. It is an attempt to translate something indescribable to other people. Whilst this process can be understood as a way of communication, it could also be understood more poetically as an artist putting her body in a very imaginative, emotional, complex state and performing it.
Q: How do you describe your sound palette?
I do not listen to a lot of music, in fact, I find everyday sound much more fitting to my palette of sound--the bathroom fan, vertical roller gate, all the daily industrial or natural sounds that we live in--they embody a language that is honest and real. My voice is shaped by the soundscape of my environment.
After performing for many years, it is easy to become fixed, and I try to make myself more flexible. Sometimes I sense an intuition and there is a voice coming out; sometimes I mute that intuition and work with something else. Quite often I work with the feedback people give me about my performances. One of my lecturers from university had once commented that, in my work, silence is more important than the voice. His comment made me reflect on how to use time, how silence still holds certain attention, and carries the residue of the sound that had come before it. It holds an imagination that reflects back to the viewer, like a black mono painting or the blank spaces in Chinese painting.

Q: How do you experience space and time in your work?
In my earlier work, during my university years, I performed a lot in stairwells, hallways, transitional spaces, as I worked with the idea of travelling. It was not a matter of going from one point to another; it was about the tunnel, the transitional process that happens in between. This practice of working in a perpetual cycle of suspended time and space is perhaps influenced by minimal music or drone-based stuff. Both Nigel and I in our 12 Dog Cycle band, and my other duo with Saxophonist Rosalind Hall, work with this idea. Someone had commented that our music always feels like it is starting and ending all the time, because we are constantly working against the flow, not following any situation and continually surprising ourselves.
Q: Is there anything specific you are working on right now?
I have always wanted to develop my art therapy practice further. Since coming back to Taiwan, I have spent a lot of my time setting up Ting Shuo and more recently, I have been busy raising our child. But now I find my art practice is becoming more diverse—I have been running workshops for children from age 0 to 6 as well as for old people over ages 60 to 80. Next month, I am running workshops with people who are blind. Meanwhile, I am also working on my solo album, "Alice in Wonderland," based on Lewis Carroll's 12-chapter storybook. I will be working on this album and text/contemporary scores in the next few years.

White Renegade Traitor of the Year Nominations
December 28, 2013 Jaye Ryan Uncategorized 41
Blessing Muslim Invasion of Europe
Instauration magazine used to run a year end cover story shaming the year's worst White American traitor. I would like to revive this tradition, but open up the contest to what remains of the entire White world. So who do you think was the worst traitor to White Western Civilization in 2013? I'm going to make some nominations.
#1. Pope Francis
This filthy rich traitorous Pope's first trip was to the Italian Mediterranean island of Lampedusa to bless Muslim black African illegal alien boat people. The Pope denounced the White West's "globalisation of indifference." Next, his first papal proclamation denounces economic inequality at supposed "trickle down economics" – typical Marxist, same old, same old. Looks like the anti White, Marxists have completed the long march through the Catholic institutions, now they've got the papacy.
#2. Rand Paul
The last cursed presidential campaign was only over for six months before Rand Paul and his never say die, race-denying libertarian cult started his presidential campaign. Rand is basing his campaign in Detroit and from his Kentucky office on Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue. Rand Paul made a staff member, once the "Southern Avenger," renounce his horrible racist past and embrace the race pandering libertarian losing program of Jack Kemp and Paul Ryan.
Rand Paul father's endless Presidential campaigns (non-stop since 1988) where Rand Paul and Ron Paul insist that Third World immigration, including mass Mexican and Muslim immigration, is really GOOD FOR AMERICA, and any problems associated with immigration are caused by too much border controls and wage restrictions that prevent the likes of Sheldon Adelson, Mark Zuckerberg and that cursed Onion King in Georgia from employing tens of millions of happy slave, diseased Mestizos and Muslims at $4 an hour or at unpaid internships. Compensation includes a promise to bring in all their diseased, jihadist relatives. If you want to vomit your lunch, read Rand Paul's immigration comments in the official response to Obama's State of the Union Address.
#3. Paul Ryan
Almost identical to race denying libertarian loon Rand Paul, Paul Ryan was not content to lose White America in the 2012 presidential election when he ran as a Jack Kemp clone libertarian panderer who couldn't carry his own state of Wisconsin. No, Paul Ryan wasted 2013 on being the "conservative" poster boy for "comprehensive immigration reform," doing photo ops with New York's Sen. Charles Schumer and Chicago's Rep. Luis Gutierrez. Paul Ryan makes a big deal about his shared Catholic faith with Gutierrez and the new liberation theology Pope Francis from South America.
Do we have any other nominations?
Previous White Renegade of the year winners include:
1985 GOP House Majority Leader Newt Gingrich
1986 Indiana Senator Dick Lugar
1987 Joint prize – White government/ADL/SPLC informants such as Glen Miller
1988 US Secretary of State George Schultz
1989 Once strong White political adviser Lee Atwater
1990 "Conservative" TV talking head George Will
1991 Louisiana Governor Edwin Edwards
1992 "Conservative" TV talking head II Fred Barnes
1993 Hillary Rodham Clinton (Poor choice – see my letter next month)
1994 Jack Kemp and William Bennett (Very good choices)
1995 OJ Simpson attorney F. Lee Bailey
1996 Fidel Castro (strange call, shows Wilmot Robertson getting a bit old – Castro isn't a renegade to White British American majority – plus it's way in the past 1960)
1997 Last White American media owner Ted Turner (excellent choice)
1998 Al Gore (Kind of lame choice, all White American Vice Presidents are lame)
Big Fag Defeated
Rep. Tyrone Brooks Indicted on Mail, Wire, and Tax Fraud Charges
I vote for the Pope.
Yes, Jack. They have the papacy and all the high offices of the Church. As our Lady stated at La Salette: "Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of the anti-Christ. The Church will be in eclipse."
Since the reign of Paul VI, the Church is now in eclipse.
The post Vatican II magisterium is exactly what Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre stated " riddled with Masonic errors under the condemnation of the Church". Marxist cultural theology (all Judaic ideologies actually) fall under the anathemas of Popes Pius IX, Leo XIII and Pope St Pius X.
People who have no concept of the Church will certainly have no concept that bishops who use their office to bind heresies condemned by the Church onto others are cursed by the Church. That is what the anathema means. Pope Francis I – a modernist heretic who preaches Judaic ideologies is under the anathema of Pope St Pius X.
The Church in its official doctrine and infallible teachings (Quanta Cura, Paschendi, Quas Primas etc ) binds on pain of mortal sin the whole swag of errors now promulgated from Rome. Pope St Pius X called the whole passel of them: "Modernism" – the sum of all heresies.
Beware the leaven of anti-Christ – Judaism in all its forms, including its secular ideologies like Marxism which were contrived for the ruin of the goyim.
The great cause of the hour championed by the few (very few actually) bishops who remain to us and are not under the anathema is: omnia instaurare in Christo. (Restoration of all things in Christ) And this cause will prevail against all natural odds.
Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre's spiritual descendants have already been subject to a reigning in by Pope Francis.

Rudel says:
'I vote for the Pope.'
He certainly has the most influence. Hundreds of millions accept whatever he says.
Of course they have, Rudel. Of course they have decreed that the Society of St Pius X is in schism from the post Vatican II sect currently in occupation of Roman Catholic Church structures worldwide.
This is why I stated that the eclipse of the Church began with the promulgation of the novus ordo missae under the seal of the Fisherman's ring by Pope Paul VI. The canonised Roman Rite was forbidden and a new mass concocted by a bunch of Protestants and a Freemason was put in its place.
If they are going to promulgate a magisterium riddled with masonic errors (many times condemned by the Church) they have to change the canonised Roman Rite. This should go without saying. This is because the Roman Rite of tradition teaches the Roman Catholic Faith. The novus ordo missae teaches the beliefs of the Vatican II.
Since 1968 the Roman Catholic faithful have been denied the canonised rite of their Church. This is why our Lady stated infallibly that "the Church will be in eclipse."
In the English version of the novus ordo missae, they changed the Mysterium Fidei in the consecration of the wine so that it came under the anathema of the Council of Trent. The canon of the Mysterium Fidei went back to Apostolic times. But they changed the canon so that the words of the consecration specifically stated what the Council of Trent states is NOT meant or NOT to be believed.
The ancient canon states that the blood of Christ which seals the New Covenant is shed for many – those who believe and are baptised. The novus ordo missae said that the blood of Christ is shed for all. This lex orandi was supposed to teach the new ecumenism of all faiths and creeds that came in with Vatican II. Think the Assissi debacle and the golden Bhudda on the high altar of the Franciscan shrine.
You think maybe the Holy Office ignorantly made this blunder? Maybe they don't know the doctrines of the Council of Trent? Somehow they didn't get the words of the Gospel that those who believe not this Evangel "will be condemned".
The Council of Trent does explain how it is that Christ did indeed shed His blood for all sin going back to the original sin of our first parents, that all men may have hope of salvation in Him according to the Father's desire that none should perish in their sins; yet it is also true that those who reject Him and reject His Gospel – do not have a share in the holy blood of the New Covenant. So has hope of salvation for all in Christ failed? No. Has the Father who has no pleasure in the death of sinners now changed His mind and now 'it's all good' No.
But men (and nations) who reject Him and say "No. We will not have this man to be king", do make that hope to fail by their own choice. Therefore, the wine must not be consecrated for all – it is consecrated for the many who do say "Yes. We will have to the Lord Jesus Christ to be King and our Saviour."
Pope Francis.
It's not even close. He has a far larger following than Rand Paul or Paul Ryan. He has said all kinds of things that you would expect to come from the Unitarians or Episcopalians.
Stephen E Dalton
I've been reading a book about Pope Francis written by Luis Rosales and Daniel Olivera, who are Argentine journalists who have followed the career of Jorge Bergoglio for many years. The information I've seen so far is disturbing. He had a communist teacher in his late teens, and he was also influenced by the Peronist movement as well. The authors make it quite clear that he imbibed deeply both of these ideologies while studying for the priesthood. Sigh, I'm afraid we're in for a rocky ride. Thankfully, the church will outlive this pope, and continue on for many more years to come, until he comes again. And the name of the book I just mentioned is "Francis A Pope For Our Time."
Sadly, I vote for Pope Francis, though I would not go as far as Jack Ryan or Lynda. Benedict XVI had some awareness of the threat Islam poses to Europe. Despite John Paul II's opposition to the SSPX, in his interview/book Memory and Identity he shows a respect for national self-determination unsurprising for a Pole whose country was behind the Iron Curtain.
Francis simply hasn't a clue about the threat of non-White immigration, and as done nothing but evil with his appearances at Lampedusa and elsewhere. I do not think he is a Marxist any more than social nationalist opponents of plutocracy, and think he has did great geopolitical good with his worldwide prayer vigils for Syria, which we should recognize. Nonetheless, a Roman Pontiff advocating White Genocide and the downfall of Europe is a far greater catastrophe than the as-advertized policies promoted by libertarians.
countenance
I'd have to vote for the Pope. Rand Paul Ryan one could have seen coming, but Pope Francis is a big surprise to me.
I won't blame Paul Ryan for not carrying Wisconsin for Romney, because running mates almost amount to nothing politically in the long run for those on the top of the ticket. His antics this year which will presumably extend into next year, though? Those are all on him.
Thanks everyone. I was leaning Rand Paul or Paul Ryan, but I agree with your arguments tht a pro queer, pro Muslim immigration, liberation theology Catholic Pope wins the dubious contest .Christ, he flew his private Pope jet to the Italian Med Island to bless the Black African Muslim illegal alien invaders!
Another reason to vote for the Pope here.
In the faithful opinion of perhaps a billion people, Pope Francis is the Viceroy of Christ. Now, anyone versed enough in Catholic theology and Canon law will tell you that the Pope is the Vicar of Christ when it comes to spiritual affairs, but when Pontiffs pontificate on politics, that is their own personal opinions, not to be taken with otherworldly imprimatur. But…that's a distinction which most Catholics don't grasp. So when the Vicar of Christ is preaching open borders and neo-Marxism, a lot of people think that that's what Jesus Christ must want.
Meanwhile, I don't waste time worrying about Rand Paul Ryan because if they both run for President in 2016, they'll be splitting that BIG BIG BIG BIG 5% Republican voter constituency that Jack Kemp got in 1988. Hell, some people in Paul Ryan's own district are fuming at him. Over immigration? They should, but unfortunately no. They're mad because the new budget deal he helped swing, bringing us the second worst formal Federal budget in the history of the republic, one that locks in ObamaDontCare spending into the Federal budget baseline, and spends more on almost everything else, and will never result in a balanced budget if extrapolated out years and decades into the future, does have slight cuts in veterans pension and health benefits. Just on that don't be surprised if Paul Ryan doesn't get re-elected to Congress.
The Pope cannot be called a traitor to the white race, because that assumes falsely that Christianity and the Catholic church had any loyalty to white racial interests to begin with. The Pope's loyalty is to Christendom, not the white race. He is not betraying his obligations, he is fulfilling them.
The Pope.
Dishonorable Mention: Tim Wise (just pencil him in every year)
Pope should lead by example.
Found this comment posted by an ex-Catholic while surfing.
'Limbaugh attacks pope, calls him a Marxists. If Pope Francis is Marxists he should act like one. It takes billions of dollars to keep the Vatican and the Roman Catholic Church open. Without the billions of dollars coming in the church would have to close its doors. Doors that in most cities only a few people go through any more.
The Vatican and all its possessions around the world are worth trillions of dollars. That money could go a long way in alleviating poverty in the world. Why not turn some or most of that real estate gold mine into cash? Much of church property is located in prime locations and some of it is sitting empty and unused.
Additionally, the Vatican holds or controls untold and priceless artifacts, ancient books and manuscripts that are worth endless billions of dollars. Why is that hoard being kept in huge warehouses when it could be turned into cold hard currency and given to the poor?
The Roman Catholic church, from its heyday of being the most powerful ruler of the world (Holy Roman Empire), has amassed huge amounts of solid gold relics (most remain unknown to the pubic), and Renaissance statues, frescoes and paintings that are the envy of the entire museum community, and private collectors. With one swell swoop, the Roman Catholic Church could end poverty in the world by simply converting church assets into
cash, and with that cash feed and clothed the destitute, the poor people of the world.
When ordained, priests take an oath of poverty. One only needs to visit the Vatican, not to mention many Catholic establishments around the world, to know that is not the case, the clergy are not impoverished.
Perhaps the church should go back to its roots and lead by example and stop going against original doctrine, which condemns being in bed with adulterous money changers. The Catholic Church has more assets and
resources than all money changers combined.
Pope Francis, do as Jesus instructed and share the enormous wealth
that the church sits on. Set the example, then, perhaps,
others will follow.'
The Pope's ACTUAL comments on a lot of these issues is a good deal more nuanced than the popular press–or much of the Traditionalist press toward which I incline–give him credit. And his views on the Social Teachings of the Church are not Marxian–again, some have spun them that way, but in the larger context they are not such.
Nonetheless–I concur that his style and manner of presenting historic Catholic teaching give aid-and-comfort to anti-Whites and progressive anti-Christians, while the scope of his influence may indeed render him anti-White of the Year.
Pope Francis operates under the Sanhedrin and he and the Chabad Lubavitch go way back.
Savour this, gentle readers
http://mauricepinay.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/pope-francis-sent-his-priests-to-chabad.html. In other words – the priests serving under Archbishop Bergoglio were formed by the Chabad Lubavitch. There are no words in the tongues of men or angels for this treachery against the Church.

The Maurice Pinay blogspot is written in the spirit of The Plot Against the Church by Maurice Pinay. This is an essential text for the 21st century.
The developments in the Christian world that everyone should be following are in Russia. Despite being an essentially secular society with the highest abortion rate in the world and a KGB patriarchal succession in their church, Russia is very quickly returning to Christian nation status. Among the Christian population, they have enough of the Catholic faith to go the whole 9 yards.
Indeed, they have enough of the Catholic faith and martyrdom of blood to step into the most elect role that any nation ever was granted by Heaven – the nation to be uniquely consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary by the Roman Pontiff and the bishops with him.
Russia, only Russia, is to be the instrument of our Lady's triumph to the glory of Christ the King over all His foes both spiritual and temporal.
All that is lacking at the present time is – the consecration. From this will flow all the graces they need to step into that elect role. They are the elect nation that will usher in the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary against the foes of God and His rights and the rights of the Church. These are the same foes of the White race in its (now apostate) nations and indeed all of unregenerate humanity.
I followed Vladimir Putin's victory speech of May 9, 2012 at Manezhnaya Sq. Last year there were many uncut versions on YouTube with unobtrusive translations. (Now they are all censored by the YouTube Jews). In those [now removed] clips you could hear the roar of the crowd of 100,000 people. You could see the display of the holy icons being held up in the crowd. You saw the flags of mother Russia – not just tricolor flags of revolutionary Russia. Putin's closing remarks delivered even above the roar of that crowd – 'Glory to Russia' was the roar of the lion Tribe. It was the voice of a Desposyniac heir claiming victory in the citadel of a mighty and spiritual people.
That should have rattled The Crown of the Judaic Imperium and its sociopathic state: IsraHELL right down to their foundations in hell. And to that I say: Good. There is a lot worse than that for these anti-Christs where that came from.
I am sure in Europe these liberal apostates think the Desposyni are finished. The heirs of Clovis, King of the Francs of the Tribe of Judah and the House of David sleep in the jewelled light la Sainte Chapelle which depict the Jesse trees of the Desposyniac nobility of the Francs. This is in the Cathedral of St Denys, Paris.
And that is about all they know of the truth. Now, if they think of the Desposyni at all, they think in terms of that Jew blasphemy of the Da Vinci Code – which tells us that the Desposyni are the lineal descendants of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. Upon which tripe, the anathema sits in perpetuity.
Well did the Fathers of the Church know our Lady's prophecy in her Magnificat. We know that our Lord will reign over the House of Jacob forever. We know that His royal Davidic House gave to the Church many of the first kings of Christian nation states and bishops. Clovis, whom his people the Francs followed into baptism, was of that kindred. And so were his Merovingian, Carolingian and Capetian descendants – even into the modern day.
The people of Kievan Rus came from the Varingian. They defeated the Khazars. The Varingians must have also had Desposyniac nobility. And this story is going to continue because, as our Lady said of our Lord: "He will reign over the House of Jacob forever." And that is the House of the Kings of the Tribe of Judah who have reigned as kings in the temporal sphere over baptised nations.
The Desposyniac nobility of Europe and Russia are of the royal House of David descended in direct lineage from those of our Lord's own Messianic house. Clearly one of that kindred now rules Russia. Glory to Russia. And may that elect nation soon receive the consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
"When ordained, priests take an oath of poverty."
Actually not. Only priests who are ordained into religious orders that require a vow of poverty (the Benedictines for instance) do so. Diocesan parish priests who are ordained by a bishop into his diocese are not necessarily required to do so.

Jack replies:
No. We're exposing White traitors. Not antis hating on us. Tim Wise is a same old, same old Jew who hates Whites. That' not treason, he was never one of us. He's an alien.
I have come to the conclusion that traitor Whites are far worse than Jews. I've had enough of them. I want a homeland far away from them.
Greg Johnson,
His loyalty might be to Christendom in some abstract sense. In practice, he is prioritizing the needs and welfare of non-white Christians over white ones. I think that can be reasonably interpreted as a betrayal of white Christians. He is not impartial. By playing favorites, he's giving the white members of the flock the short end by conscious choice.
Dishonorable mention–Steven Harper, Prime Minister of Canada, and shabba goy extraordinaire. I actually remember a Christmas address he made a couple of years ago where he stated "Happy holidays and happy Hanuka!"
Aside from doing next to nothing to stem the flow of turd world invaders (Canada imports more immigrants on a per-capita basis than any other Western nation) he recently embarrassed and isolated us by refusing to recognize the recently brokered deal with Iran, making it very clear who his real masters are. Here's a quick article on the matter:
http://www.straight.com/news/536331/isolated-iran-another-embarrassment-canada-world-stage
Considering the intense left-wing nature of The Georgia Straight, it's very interesting to note how some of the commentators have pointed this out!
Regarding Greg Johnson's statement on Christianity vis-à-vis Europeans (white men), it is necessary to consider not only the current, but the historical political aspect within Christianity–the relationship between the Two Cities.
In an ideal state, religion and politics would be conjoined in support of an organic civil polity. But from at least the Enlightenment, the two realms are now generally viewed as incompatible. At the same time, today in the West, the necessary religious influence has been replaced by an ersatz "religious secularism" (liberalism and all it implies), while the church has taken the path of least resistance available to it. In full support of the liberal regime it now focuses its efforts on ways to uncover new sources of revenue, along with expanding its influence among the barbarians.
Because of it, Christianity has become useless for nurturing either white spiritual or secular interests. But it was not always so. Perhaps the words of Carl Schmitt are relevant:
"The enemy is hostis, not inimicus in the broader sense; ????????, not ??????. As German and other languages do not distinguish between the private and political enemy, many misconceptions and falsifications are possible. The often quoted "Love your enemies" reads "diligite inimicos vestros," ??????? ???? ??????? ????, and not diligite hostes vestros. No mention is made of the political enemy.
"Never in the thousand-year struggle between Christians and Moslems did it occur to a Christian to surrender rather than defend Europe out of love toward the Saracens or Turks. The enemy in the political sense need not be hated personally, and in the private sphere only does it make sense to love one's enemy, i.e., one's adversary. The Bible quotation touches the political antithesis even less than it intends to dissolve, for example, the antithesis of good and evil or beautiful and ugly. It certainly does not mean that one should love and support the enemies of one's own people."
'may that elect nation soon receive the consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary'
So the Jesuitic internet Propagandist confesses their goal of conquering Russia to what she (?) thinks is a sympathetic audience, with one exception. Beware, Southrons! Tom Watson understood the danger. The historically criminal organisation wants North America, and every other nation — and not only Bergoglio, but all the other Popes over at least the last thousand years, were evil men destructive to our race. Research it and understand, and you will become a 'bigot' and a 'hater' too.
Just want to add a positive note. I thank Hunter Wallace, the League of the South and the Council of Conservative citizens for their excellent, effective activism and also for being so nice to me personally.
Fr. John+
True Christianity and the True Church catholic (small 'c') HAS ALWAYS had a loyalty to the White Race. As RC of a prior century noted well: "Europe IS the Faith; the FAITH, Europe."
The loyalty of EVERY WHITE MAN should be to that of Christendom. For it is the incarnated, this-worldly equivalent of the Kingdom of God, that Christians pray for in the Lord's Prayer. 'Thy will be done ON EARTH, as it IS in Heaven, etc.'
Lynda, thanks for the long (!) posts on Franky the First. And the tacit acknowledgment that Russia seems to be restoring her place as the "Third Rome."
But she needs neither the graceless nor the non-efficacious 'blessing' of an apostate cult. Russia already knows, reveres, and holds up as worthy of all graces, the Theotokos, the 'semper virgine' Mother of God.
Franky the First – He's my nominee for antichrist, race-mixing Mamzerim overlord, hands down.
"The Pope's loyalty is to Christendom, not the white race. He is not betraying his obligations, he is fulfilling them.
Lynda, et al.
This is the concrete outworking of the 'filioque' and the 'universal jurisdiction' heresy of the Papacy. It is what gave ontological 'equality' to the minds of European men, after Rome and the West departed from the Orthodox faith, and it then came into Orthodoxy via the two Lutheran (filioquist/Western) Russian monarchs, Peter and Catherine (so-called "Greats") Because Franky thinks the Nig is his brother, he will (of course) view the 'descamisados' of the world as MORE WORTHY than the real "Israel(ties) of God" [Gal. 6;16] – the White Adamics of Magna Europa!
The entire record of Scripture is covenantal, mono-racial, tied to one Ethnos in two 'houses' and clearly delineated as the sons of Adam in Europe, and the faithful sons of Adam in Judea. There are no other options- and that is why Franky is being 'heretically consistent' with his 'lovin' on' the darkies of Africa, but is also being heretically consistent as the Pope of Rome- which has been heretical for over a thousand years.
what me worried
They always claim that OUR lands, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, belonged originally to them. Starting at around 11 mintues, this Pope lover says the TRUE heritage of our country 'is NOT Anglo Protestant': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JChOR_M2qM4 Bergolgio is not really doing anything different than his predecessors, merely following the same, historical programme, so he's not a renegade, and he CAN'T be the WHITE renegade of the year, not in the sense of white as Northwest European white.
You must give the Pope's two top representatives in Congress credit—Nancy Pelosi & John Boehner. Let's not forget Joe Biden either.
'And may that elect nation soon receive the consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary' (= Russia) 'the nation to be uniquely consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary by the Roman Pontiff and the bishops with him. Russia, only Russia, is to be the instrument of our Lady's triumph to the glory of Christ the King over all His foes both spiritual and temporal. All that is lacking at the present time is – THE CONSECRATION':
For those who don't understand the meaning of 'THE CONSECRATION' of Russia, in Lynda's comment above: She is talking about a DECLARATION OF WAR AGAINST RUSSIA, AND THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE.
See what 'The Consecration' meant, and what happened, when the Serbian Orthodox people were 'consecrated': http://www.thestillman.com/stillmanfiles/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/ravenwolves.pdf
That strange man-in-a-dress in his weird palace, el popo is my vote (as you may have guessed).
But more…the astonishing dependent endless rc peasants who (somehow) CRAVE this "cult of personality," to abnegate their personal responsibility to the brains God gave them, to thought, faith, LIVING, by bowing down to a man who milks them for all they are worth, in an office that has such an ugly history, has birthed such ugly people, etc.
He just doesn't smell right. Men in dresses are a bad idea.
True, Nancy, John, Joe. (Panetta, Napolitano, Reno, Ryan, Rubio, Menendez, Boehner…) El poop sort of covers it all.

This is what you Protestants wanted ever since your revolt. You wanted no authority, you wanted everyone to have their own opinions valued and you wanted to protest everything.
You now have over 36,000 protestant denominations and you have now infiltrated the universal church with your liberalism. Now the last hope for Christian Europe is liberal as all get out. When we were cleansing Spain, battling the Muslims and fighting for unity; you Prots were crying foul on crusades, Spainish Inquistions were cruel and respect for right authority was too Papist.
Much like Obamacare, you get what you voted for…
I thought we were discussing white renegade traitor of the year nominations. What does bringing up something that happened in former Yugoslavia 70 years ago have to do with this subject? BTW, fellow OD commentators who are not Catholic bashers, beware of Anti-Catholic books and literature written by Ex-Catholics, (like Monicia Farrel) especially if thy claimed to be priests, monks, or nuns. Many of these people were moral defectives when they were Catholics, (Charles Chiniquy) and some of them were not even Catholic clerics or members of religious orders at all, (like Maria Monk.) Many of them were alcoholics, con artists, drug addicts, and mentally ill. Some were (like Charles Chiniquy) were outright psychopaths. Mosin should rein in his Anti-Catholicism before pushing trash like this, but some Protestants have a history of swallowing stuff like this because of their dumb ass prejudices.
There were lots of good, great pro European Catholic Popes. This new one appears to be the worst ever. The act of flying his private Pope jet to bless the Black Muslim illegal alien boat people invasion of Europe. That was straight out of Jean Respail's Camp of the Saints.
M'thinks anti White, Massonic forces in the Vatican elite deliberately committed this traitorous propaganda event as an exact replication of the fictional account in Camp of the Saints.
There were plenty of "good" popes and bishops. The ones who fought as generals in fights against encroaching French armies in defense of Lombardy and also the ones who supported wars against the Moors an Arabs. You people know nothing of Western European history.
Bag the absurd religion. The entire church hierarchy during the middle ages was well populated by second sons of the nobility and had its share of outstanding military leaders.
DixieGirl, if you consider "men in dresses" a bad idea, What do you think of Jesus Christ? The last time I saw a picture of him or any other Biblical character, they weren't wearing pants.
Yes, Farrel's little book about the 'Consecration' of Yugoslavia (genocide of the Serbian Orthodox 'heretics') COULD be dismissed here as bitter prejudice because she left the RC, and my comment would still stand on the many other sources that ARE 'emotionally disconnected', neutral and even RC-sympathetic — and even the lowest figures accepted by the RC-sympathetic, prejudiced sources are still in the hundreds of thousands of Serbs liquidated to establish full RC tyranny in western Yugoslavia — and because there are many other historical examples BESIDES Yugoslavia seventy years ago, of what it means when the RC 'consecrates' a nation. But the culture of Propaganda knows how to respond to effective opposition — especially to effective ex-RC opposition — by calling them names like 'moral defectives', 'hypocrites', 'con artists', 'mentally ill', 'psychopaths', etc. to smokescreen the evidence while taking steps to ban and silence the opposition. Tyranny and free speech can never coexist.
Re: 'there were plenty of good Popes':
How could fighting the French to protect the home base (in Italy) of the tyranny make the tyrant good? How could having 'the second sons of the nobility' hold high positions in the church machine of the RC tyranny that oppressed the white people of Europe for a thousand years make it good?
Finally, my main objection to naming Bergoglio as 'the white renegade' is that he ISN'T REALLY WHITE, at least not in the sense of white that most WN accept. My second objection is that he is not even a renegade in his universalist cult, but just doing what seems best for it, and for his own advantage, like any other Pope.
I just noticed that 'tyranny that oppressed the white people of Europe for a thousand years' should have been: 'tyranny that oppressed white European peoples (nations) for a thousand years' — a small but significant edit!
For those who wish to see the truth about one Ex-Catholic turned Anti-Catholic and the total unreliability of his so-called truths about the Catholic faith, go to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Chiniquy and http://www.philvaz.com/apologetics/Charles-Chiniquy-Anti-Catholic.htm Name calling or telling it like it is about a liar? Interestingly enough, Chiniquy was Anti-Southern, claimed in his "50 Years In The Church Of Rome" that many of the Southern leaders were under the influence of Rome and claimed John Booth was a Jesuit assassin.

Facebook Has Been Extremely Busy Lately – But to What End?
We brought you an article this past week, which outlined the notion that Mark Zuckerberg was conceding to the idea that Facebook needs regulation. But Facebook is getting hit hard with a ton right now, and we have all the updates for you:
Live Stream Restrictions
Late last week, Facebook COO, Sheryl Sandberg announced that they company was "exploring restrictions on who can go Live depending on factors such as prior Community Standard violations." The decision came less than three weeks after a terrorist attack in Christchurch, New Zealand, where 50 people were killed, and the entire event was livestreamed on Facebook. Facebook, along with others, like YouTube, were having a hard time stopping the video from being uploaded and distributed to their platforms.
The original thought for Facebook Live would be to "create new opportunities for people to come together." It was around that time that the company invested millions of dollars to encourage publishers like Buzzfeed to experiment with Facebook Live. After the attack in Christchurch, Facebook is reexamining who should have the ability to share live video, but this is likely to prove difficult for the company to moderate.
Disappearing Posts
It was also reported that some of Zuckerberg's public Facebook posts had disappeared somehow. What's interesting is that the missing posts included everything that he wrote in 2007 and 2008, as well as some posts that Zuckerberg made in 2012, which was around the time that Facebook acquired Instagram. According to the company, the posts were deleted as a result of technical errors. While the company is working to bring the posts back, this isn't the first time that Zuckerberg's content has gone missing. Last April, it was reported that some of the messages that Zuckerberg had sent as private messages had disappeared.
News Feed Update
If you had ever wondered what content is chosen to appear in your News Feed, you're not alone. This past weekend, Facebook quietly announced that they will start to give users more information about why they see one particular post over another. In fact, Facebook is going to soon launch a "Why am I seeing this post?" button, which is similar to the one that it launched in 2014 for advertisements. This feature is expected to launch this week and will be available for all Facebook users by the middle of May.
Paying Publishers?
Zuckerberg also announced this week that Facebook might be creating a new section of the platform dedicated to "high-quality news". We don't have a ton of details on this particular feature, but it might feature content where Facebook pays publishers directly to share. This comes about a week after Apple announced that they were launching a $10/month paid news aggregation service, called News+. Unlike Apple, Facebook doesn't appear to be getting into the subscription business.
This kind of venture hasn't been successful for Facebook in the past, but without knowing more of what this is, it's hard for us to comment as to whether or not this will be any better and/or any different.
It's hard to imagine so much has happened to Facebook over the last couple of days.

"Blue Jasmine" written and directed by Woody Allen is in my view a perfect "Stories of Everyday Madness". Cate Blanchett literally chews up the screen as the "vapid and narcissistic socialite" who moves in with her financially strapped sister played spot-on by Sally Hawkins. As one sister slips into genuine madness, the other one desperately defends her ordinary, unimpressive life. The result is a frenetic and intense story about deeply flawed relationships that artfully delivers both human absurdity and tragic comedy at its best. The Oscar bound performances of Blanchett and Hawkins are supported by an equally brilliant cast, which includes: Alec Baldwin, Bobby Cannavale and Peter Sarsgaard.

Potential Personal Injury Claims from Blue Bell Ice Cream Recall
Results of FDA Investigation
What Is Listeria?
Blue Bell Creameries recently shut down production plants in Texas and other locations due to possible Listeria contamination affecting its equipment and products. The shutdown followed the company's announcement of a massive recall of its ice cream products after testing positive for the food-borne bacteria.
The Blue Bell contamination is believed to have claimed at least three lives and 7 other confirmed cases of listeriosis. Many consumers have also initiated personal injury claims in Texas where one of the Blue Bell production plants has been shut down.
Government investigation reports indicate that Blue Bell's Oklahoma plant already had evidence of Listeria bacteria in March 2013. Despite the findings of contamination, Blue Bell continued to ship ice cream that was manufactured in the affected plant after "inadequate cleaning," according to the FDA. The investigation continued with the other plants but the Oklahoma plant exhibited the major violations as equipment and ice cream products tested positive for listeria in 16 separate tests from March 2013 to 2015.
In Texas and all the other contaminated plants, investigators noted:
Incorrect hand-washing practices
Unsanitary food-handling plant conditions
Condensation dripping into food and on surfaces that came into contact with food products
Soiled outer garments of food-handling employees
Failure to perform food surface testing for the presence of pathogens
Dirty equipment and plant infrastructure promote difficulty in cleaning
The company is currently conducting a comprehensive cleanup of the affected ice cream plants, focusing on sanitation and updating of its production facilities. In the meantime, Blue Bell has recalled all of its products and the public has been warned against its consumption.
Listeria is a type of deadly bacteria that causes listeriosis, a disease characterized by:
Gastrointestinal problems
Symptoms of listeriosis may appear days after consuming the affected food but in some cases, the symptoms may appear after a few weeks.
If you have experienced symptoms of listeria after having Blue Bell ice cream in Houston, Texas, you may have a personal injury case against the ice cream manufacturer. Consult a Houston personal injury lawyer immediately to determine whether you have a cause of action and what your legal options are.
In Houston, Texas, personal injury attorney Charles J. Argento & Associates has years of experience in product liability cases, helping clients obtain damages that they legally deserve.

Q: Computing invariant subspaces of $3 \times 3$ matrix In general, how does one compute all invariant subspaces for a $3 \times 3$ real matrix $T$?
Here are a couple of facts I've been able to establish:

*

*$\{ 0 \}$ is the only 0-dimensional invariant subspace; $\mathbb{R}^3$ is the only 3-dimensional invariant subspace

*From Wikipedia, I see that all 1-dimensional invariant subspaces are generated by the eigenvectors of $T$.

*

*This leaves only the 2-dimensional invariant subspaces left to find

*In general, if $A, B$ are invariant subspaces of $T$, then $A \oplus B$ is an invariant subspace

*

*To confirm: is this point indeed correct?

Is the combination of the second and third facts enough to compute all of the 2-dimensional invariant subspaces (and thus answering my question)? I'm also afraid that the above algorithm might only work for diagonalizable matrices?
Thanks.

Here are some similar questions, which others might find useful; but none fully answer my question I feel.

A: Implicit as part of the direct sum being a subspace, the direct sum $A\oplus B$ of invariant subspaces $A$ and $B$ is an invariant subspace as long as $A\cap B=\{0\}$. Assuming that you have this condition, the properties of a linear transformation will give you the result in your third point:
Assume that $A$ and $B$ are invariant subspaces of $\mathbb{R}^3$ under a linear transformation $T$ with $A\cap B=\{0\}$. So for $u\in A$ and $v\in B$, $Tu\in A$ and $Tv\in B$. Then $$T(u+v)=Tu+Tv\in A\oplus B.$$
This will not be enough to calculate all invariant subspaces. Consider the linear transformation $T:\mathbb{R}^3\to\mathbb{R}^3$ such that $Te_1=e_2$, $Te_2=-e_1$, and $Te_3=e_3$ (where $e_i$ is the standard $i$'th basis vector. Then $\mathbb{R}e_1\oplus\mathbb{R}e_2$ is invariant under $T$ but does not have any non-trivial invariant subspaces.
For a more extensive study of invariant subspaces explore the Jordan Canonical Form.

Q: Is there a way to hide the scrollbars in IE8? do you know whether there is a way to not let the scrollbars in IE8 appear?
I've got a complete empty .html site and loaded it in IE8 and scrollbars are appearing.
I've been searching the net for a while, but couldn't find any hint. Is it solveable with CSS or do I need Javascript?
Every hint is much appreciated.

A: If your blank HTML page is standards-compliant (to some degree I suppose), IE8 will not display scrollbars. You shouldn't need any CSS. Here's a sample page that won't have scrollbars:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

        <title>test</title>

hello

If IE8 renders the page in Quirks Mode, it will always have scroll bars. You can check exactly what rendering it's using (and test different renderings) in the Developer Tools window (press F12). The "Browser Mode" and "Document Mode" settings at the end of the menu bar will tell you.

A: You can use the CSS overflow property to hide the scrollbars:
html, body {
    overflow: hidden;
}

A: You can try doing overflow:hidden; in your css file, in the body,html tags.

New Jersey health officials announced they have detected the state's first case of the omicron coronavirus variant on Friday, revealing the adult patient had recently traveled to South Africa, which was among the first countries to detect the new strain.
In a statement, the New Jersey Health Department said the patient — a resident from Georgia who is fully vaccinated — tested positive on November 28th and has remained in isolation since then. Under the state's health code, she will need to remain in isolation for at least 10 days. She received care at a hospital in northern New Jersey, but the details of the care weren't released. The woman's symptoms have been described by health officials as "moderate."
"The omicron variant is among us and we need to take steps to stop its spread," Murphy said in a statement, urging residents to continue getting vaccinated, wearing masks, and staying vigilant. So far, the state's health department reports 70% of residents are fully vaccinated, with 31% having already received a booster.

New Jersey's announcement of its first case of the variant, also known as B.1.1.529, came a day after New York officials were alerted that a Minnesota man tested positive for omicron after attending the Anime NYC 2021 convention in Manhattan's Jacob Javits Center. Officials said the traveler attended from November 19th through the 21st. On Friday, the Washington Post reported several of the man's friends have also tested positive for omicron.
Late Thursday, Mayor Bill de Blasio held a joint news conference with Gov. Kathy Hochul, announcing that five more people were found infected with the omicron variant. They include a person from Brooklyn, two in Queens, another in Long Island and an unspecified patient within New York City. They urged New Yorkers to remain calm as the health community continued to learn more about the new strain first detected by Botswanan scientists in November. On Saturday, three more cases of omicron were detected in New York.
Researchers in South Africa alerted the World Health Organization of omicron last week. On November 26th, the WHO classified omicron as a "variant of concern." It is suspected that omicron variant could be twice as transmissible as the delta strain and pose a higher risk of reinfection to unvaccinated people.
