Tragic Ambition In Shakespeare's Macbeth
1353 Words6 Pages
Tragic Ambition Julius Caesar once wisely reckoned, "If I fail it is only because I have too much […] ambition." The playwright William Shakespeare, if alive today, would earnestly confirm the truth of this quote, as demonstrated in his elegant tragedy, Macbeth. A tale of a thane named Macbeth and his quest for the throne, his life quickly spirals downward as he wholeheartedly believes and acts upon the prophecies revealed by the Weïrd Sisters regarding his fate. After betraying and brutally murdering several fellow royals, Macduff eventually returns the favor, taking Macbeth's life, restoring the Order of the Universe. Through this play, Shakespeare proves how harboring too much ambition is the root of selfishness, which lends itself to…show more content…
However, before succumbing to this demise, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth were simply selfish characters ambitiously vying for more control. Macbeth's primary goal in the play is to become Scotland's king, and he quickly realizes that there are a few people directly blocking his path to the crown. The clearest…show more content…
In Macbeth's concluding act, Lady Macbeth's life ends abruptly, so Seyton announces to Macbeth "The Queen, my lord, is dead," to which he responds, "She should have died hereafter […] Out, out brief candle!" (5.5.19-20,26). Lady Macbeth gets what she deserves for the role she plays in causing the deaths of many characters in this play: a physical death and the betrayal of her husband. As her husband harshly denies her with the phrases out, out and should have died, she suddenly loses the acceptance of the person that she loved and trusted the deepest. Her legacy is shattered as the primary person that would remember her fondly and pass down these memories through the generations, betrays her. Along with Macbeth's actions, his inactions equally prove his utter lack of respect for his deceased wife; he did not weep, fall to his knees, or react angrily. Lady Macbeth dies, and Macbeth promptly betrays her, destroying her reputation, which her actions certainly merit. In addition, in the dramatic final scene Macbeth's head is viciously chopped off by one of the surviving victims of his crimes, Macduff. After Macduff defeats Macbeth in a duel, the following stage directions say: "Enter Macduff with Macbeth's head. MACDUFF: Hail, king! For so thou art. Behold where stands th' usurper's curséd head. The time is free" (5.8.65-66). In this text,
The Ambition In Macbeth
Once Ross states this, the Witches prophecies become even more cogent. His devotion to become the king becomes greater. Macbeth knows if king is his calling he must do it. Macbeth explains, "If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me / Without my stir" (I.iii.145-46). Macbeth before thinking decides this is what he needs to do something to become king.
Hunger For Power In Macbeth
Macbeth loses his last scrap of morality when he orders the murder of innocents to enrage a rival. Shakespeare's Macbeth shows that humans will do whatever it takes to achieve and maintain power by charting Macbeth's descent from noble thane to murderous tyrant. Macbeth's position of thane is already quite powerful but the need for more power overwhelms his loyalties to others. Macbeth believes that the Prince of Cumberland stands in his way to more power. "The Prince of Cumberland!
Paradox In Macbeth Analysis
In William Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Macbeth, Shakespeare introduces us to a man on a mission to assassinate the reigning king of Scotland, King Duncan. Through King Duncan, Shakespeare reveals Macbeth's crude and unfiltered nature while capturing every second of Macbeth's sadistic plan. With the use of paradox, internal character struggles, and the idea of fate, Shakespeare provides insight on what madness Macbeth created and the effect his madness has on other characters. Through the use of paradox in the play, minor details guide the path of the story to the very end. Without the use of paradox throughout the play, the play would not make any sense at all.
Macbeth: Throwing Moralities To The Wind
According to Zhang Longxi, "In the context of Shakespeare's great tragedy, the repetition of 'fair' and 'foul' cannot be a mere coincidence." This line is a paradox because it describes something seeming good as bad and something seeming bad as good. Later upon meeting Macbeth, the third witch cried out, "All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter" (Shakespeare 1.3.49). The cry of the witch leads to the prophecy of how Macbeth will soon gain power and become king. At this time Macbeth is a brave heroic soldier; however, due to the prophecy, Macbeth soon becomes a despot hungry for power. Through the use of Macbeth's character, Shakespeare shows how fate can change under the temptation of power.
Six Characteristics Of A Tragic Hero In Macbeth From Shakespeare's Macbeth
Sure Macbeth killed the king and his best friend just to get power, but does that really make him a bad person? Some of the events that happen to Macbeth are well deserved, but others seem a little brash. For example, when his wife dies he says " She would have died later anyway. That news was bound to come someday...the days creep slowly along until the end of time"(A5S5). Should his wife suffer for macbeth's faults, he doesn't deserve her dead and she doesn't deserve to be dead.
Examples Of Ambition In Macbeth
Blinding Ambition The solar eclipse is fascinating and draws attention, yet it gives off rays that are blinding. Ambitions have the same effect on an individual, as they become blinded by their fascinations and desires and lose sight of reality. In William Shakespeare's play, Macbeth, characters that pursue harmful ambitions and suffer from consequences. Three witches foretell that Macbeth will become king. At first, he is a loyal and courageous Thane for Duncan; however, he becomes deceitful once he decides to kill the king.
The Nature Of Fate In Macbeth
When a play is referred to by many as one of the greatest tragedies of all time it 's safe to assume it's writer had a good method for tearing their characters lives apart. In Shakespeare 's Macbeth, the playwright uses the main character's ideas about predetermined fate to plummet him into insanity. Macbeth's fate was not determined by outside powerful forces but by his own actions and decisions, and ultimately the tragic nature of his fate was caused by his assumption that his fate was sealed. Macbeth initially has no reason to believe in any certain path his life would take. Because of this Macbeth acts unselfishly and makes an effective hero.
Literary Devices In Antigone
Another image described is "loop of linen", a symbol for Creon's denial of her right to wed. This increases the reader's compassion for Antigone, as she not only died, but she died without ever marrying the one she loved: Haemon. In the same scene, the Messenger is responsible for delivering the unfortunate news to Creon about his son Haemon's death. The messenger says, "Upon the sword-point family planted in/ The middle of his breast, and conscious yet/ Clings to the maid...so he lies dead with his arms round the dead" (Sophocles 46-47). The imagery displayed is overwhelming and a major moment of catharsis.
The Consequences Of Decision In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet
They made the rashest decision of them all. Romeo thought that Juliet had died so he rushed to her grave. "There rust and let me die (5.3.183)." Juliet kills herself after seeing Romeo dead body by her coffin so she decides to kill herself. Which makes their parents learn a different that you should not judge a person by their name. They just ended up losing their
Hamlet's Death In Hamlet
This has resulted in Hamlet becoming isolated from his family. In addition Hamlet is pained by his perception in that, both his uncle and mother have murdered his father. Although Hamlet 's father told him not to talk to his mother about what has happened he goes and tells her that she is wrong in that she has " killed a king and marry with his brother"( 171 ). Hamlet believes that her moving on is just another way to kill him. She is getting rid of him and what they shared by moving on to Claudius.

UBS trader banned for life from working in the City
He was jailed for seven years in 2012 for fraud.
The Financial Conduct Authority said it had banned Adoboli, who was released from prison earlier this year.
His actions resulted in losses of £1.4bn for the Swiss bank, the FCA said.
UBS was fined £29.7m for systems and control failures related to the unauthorised trading losses.
Adoboli, 35, said the ban marked the end of a difficult chapter in his life.
"I fully recognise the reasons for my prohibition and thank the FCA for their restraint. My hope now is to move forward in a positive way to help others learn from the mistakes I've made," he said.
Adoboli's solicitor, Sara George of law firm Stephenson Harwood, said he wanted to repay his debt to society by using his own experience to explain how risk management controls might be avoided.
He was arrested in September 2011 and was held in custody for nine months until his trial.
After serving almost half of his sentence for two counts of fraud, Adoboli was released from Maidstone prison in June.
During his trial at Southwark Crown Court, he told the jury that UBS staff were encouraged to take risks until they got "a slap on the back of the wrist" by senior managers.
Tracey McDermott of the FCA's predecessor, the Financial Services Authority, said in 2012 that the bank's faulty controls had allowed Adoboli's losses to mount to what was the largest trading loss in the UK.
"UBS's systems and controls were seriously defective," she said.
"As a result, Adoboli, a relatively junior trader, was allowed to take vast and risky market positions, and UBS failed to manage the risks around that properly."
He is facing deportation to his native Ghana after an immigration tribunal this week ruled that he should be removed from the UK.
Adoboli, the son of a UN diplomat who was educated at a Yorkshire boarding school, said he would appeal against the "heartbreaking" decision.
Foreign nationals who have been sentenced to more than a year in jail should be considered for deportation under Home Office rules.

Q: How to identify the attached devices through USB I am developing USB to serial app, where mobile will attached with USB hub, and this hub is connected with with other devices through CP2102 cable. I am able to identify all devices and can read and write also. But the problem is all have same Vendor and product ID and other information also. And USB port number is also changing if we disconnect and connect.
So is there any way to identify the attached devices. Let me know if any other information required here.
I am using this example for development.
http://code.google.com/p/usb-serial-for-android/

A: Take a look at AN721, there is a tool that goes with this document that Silicon Labs provides to so you can customize your device's VID and PID, serial number and device strings. Serial number might be the easiest way to make your development devices unique, if you change the VID/PID then you'll need to create a custom driver with those new settings to get your device back.

Screen Dream
Juraj Dobrovic
"The dream screen, as I define it, is the surface on which a dream appears to be projected. It is the blank background, present in the dream though not necessarily seen, and the visually perceived action of ordinary manifest dream contents takes place on it or before it. Theoretically it may be part of the latent or the manifest content, but this distinction is academic. The dream screen is not often noted or mentioned by the analytic patient, and in the practical business of dream interpretation, the analyst is not concerned with it."
Bertram D. Lewin (Sleep, the Mouth and the Dream Screen, 1949)
"Thoughts precede thinking. They need to be thought in order to be recognized as thoughts. They invoke the creation of an apparatus for thinking (the function creates the organ)."
Didier Anzieu (Le Penser, 1994)
"There are no such things as continuities and discontinuities in history, only in historical explanation"
Jonathan Crary (Technique of the Observer)
I know a lot of young filmmakers. After all I taught for six years, five full time, at the Polish National Film School in Lodz, Poland. And I know dozens, literally, of young playwrights. And I have watched the opportunity for work in theatre, for learning and developing, shrink more every year. When I started in theatre you could find a 99 seat house (in LA) and put up a show for five hundred bucks. Maybe less. Nobody made any money but nobody was even thinking about that. This was true in NYC, too, and Chicago and San Francisco et al. This is not true at all anymore. A decent production in LA probably costs around thirty thousand dollars now. Money you are guaranteed to lose.
Signs to ward off the evil eye, 1914, Naples. The fig and the horn.
And I have watched young filmmakers bide their time working as grips, or production assistants (go-fers) and secretaries as they took scripts around and pitched ideas and tried to get someone in power (with money) to option said script. And some of them got low budget films made. Some of these films were good, even. But few people saw them. And the average length of time it took to get to the place where they actually made the film was five years. And for many it took considerably longer. It is a small elite club. Outsiders are let in periodically, and these moments create renewed hope for the struggling masses. But for the most part Hollywood is a closed shop. It belongs the offspring of the rich and influential. The economics and much of the creative, too, is in the hands of Harvard Business school grads. Working class voices are totally, and I mean totally, absent. And often if not usually these aspiring screenwriters are asked to do inordinate amounts of work for free. Free breakdowns, bibles (as they say) beat sheets and then an actual spec draft. All for free. Then the producers and director maybe, will sign off, or not. And if not, that script is largely dead and all those hundreds upon hundreds of hours of work is wasted without any recompense.
The ruling class get to make movies. They get jobs in TV, too. And with a CIA advisor in nearly every story conference and writer's room in Hollywood, the state has effectively and directly taken over a huge chunk of the culture. Hollywood film and TV is controlled by the children of the rich and very rich. Nobody has any taste, any real education, and most are egregiously ignorant of the world around them, and hence all the more susceptible to influence coming directing from U.S. intelligence agencies and the state department.
Recently Leo DeCaprio, Keanu Reaves, and a dozen other *stars* (not sure Keanu is a star anymore) clamoured to get the opportunity to meet Bibi Netanyahu. Why? Same reason they would fawn over any (ANY) five star general or military killer. The adulation for uniforms and authority is in the open, now. Killers are proud of what they do and the celebrity A-List is intoxicated with this power.
Hollywood is profoundly a study in class.
I will return to ownership of culture more below.
There is a sentence in Jonathan Beller's book (The Message is Murder) that is nagging at me, or perhaps I should say haunting me.
"Thus it seems to me that something deeply hidden, repressed, or unthought inheres in the dispositif that is photographic technology."
I want to first give you Foucault's loose-ish definition of this word *dispositif*.
"What I'm trying to pick out with this term is, firstly, a thoroughly heterogenous ensemble consisting of discourses, institutions, architectural forms, regulatory decisions, laws, administrative measures, scientific statements, philosophical, moral and philanthropic propositions–in short, the said as much as the unsaid. Such are the elements of the apparatus. The apparatus itself is the system of relations that can be established between these elements.
Secondly, what I am trying to identify in this apparatus is precisely the nature of the connection that can exist between these heterogenous elements. Thus, a particular discourse can figure at one time as the programme of an institution, and at another it can function as a means of justifying or masking a practice which itself remains silent, or as a secondary re-interpretation of this practice, opening out for it a new field of rationality.
In short, between these elements, whether discursive or non-discursive, there is a sort of interplay of shifts of position and modifications of function which can also vary very widely.
Thirdly, I understand by the term "apparatus" a sort of–shall we say–formation which has as its major function at a given historical moment that of responding to an urgent need. The apparatus thus has a dominant strategic function. This may have been, for example, the assimilation of a floating population found to be burdensome for an essentially mercantilist economy: there was a strategic imperative acting here as the matrix for an apparatus which gradually undertook the control or subjection of madness, sexual illness and neurosis."
Michel Foucault ("The Confession of the Flesh" (1977) interview. In Power/Knowledge Selected Interviews and Other Writings (ed Colin Gordon), 1980)
This hidden and repressed, and unthought (more on that notion later) *something* that inheres in image (or for Beller, photography per se), lets say, or even more broadly, that is part of a dispositif in all that can be called the appartus of society, is pathogenic. That which is taken for granted, and therefore considered real, and which then sort of functions as a backdrop — though really its more like a basso ostinato in that it helps shape the harmonic form of the overall piece. In any event, I would say in contemporary culture the 'taken for granted' has grown into a massive amorphous mentally gelatinous form of stupid. But more to the point, what inheres is that which engenders disease, or disequilibrium mentally.
"In choosing as the goals of Modernity an intellectual and practical agenda that set aside the tolerant,skeptical attitude of the 16th-century humanists,and focussed on the 17th-century pursuit of mathematical exactitude and logical rigor,intellectual certainty, and moral purity,Europe set itself on a cultural and political road that has led both to its most striking technical successes and to its deepest human failures."
Stephen Toulmin (Cosmopolis, the Hidden Agenda of Modernity)
There is another aspect cutting across the unthought today and that is a strange almost nihilistic anti human quality in culture. You see it linked with some of the overpopulation alarmists – which figures given the eugenics legacy at work. Hollywood is now deeply entrenched with U.S. intelligence, to the point where the writer and creator of Game of Thrones is Stephen Friedman…see his background here. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Friedman_(PFIAB)

House of Cards was created by a former Clinton intern and the list goes on. The Americans was another show with an intelligence and security background. And another new show The Code features early in its first season a choice made a mother, a Marine colonel, to sacrifice her only son because of some abstract duty to the Corps. And this is presented as noble and honorable. And not even that big of a deal, actually. The liberal educated bourgeoisie seem ever less conscious of their own projections. And in the first order of repression is their fear of the ruling class. As a friend said, 'they know Abu Ghraib' waits for them if things go sideways. Most Hollywood television feels like recruitment films for the military. The Last Ship was nakedly a navel recruitment franchise. SWAT is the same for domestic police. But even in buddy dramadies like Lethal Weapon (one of the many rehashes of successful films) there is a clear message to worship authority, respect the uniform and don't make waves. Literally the term "dissident" is now synonymous with criminal (unless the character is a dissident from Russia, Cuba, Iran, Syria, North Korea, or China– in which case the term is one synonymous with heroism).
The culture is no longer an actual living organic thing. There really is no culture. Good artists exist, but they are marginalized to a large degree. And the audience for good work is microscopic. And as in the show with a mother putting Marine Corps pride and *duty* ahead of her son, there is a chilling sense of sadism shadowing the entire society. And so, this unthought sense of something, an ineffable and mysterious quality that is infused with nearly all activities, has gradually grown in importance. And today this quality that inheres is one tied intimately with aggression and violence. Gabor Mate had an interesting interview with Aaron Mate, his son, about Russiagate (sic). The sense that Americans in general want victimhood, and in the interview Mate (one of them) chose some very cogent clips from mainstream media. The desire for a sense of weakness, of vulnerability, and it runs alongside an exaggerated belief in American exceptionalism. The more Americans applaud violence the more they must erect a model of themselves as victims. And speaking of victimhood, the now fully fascist government of Poland (PiS Party, or Law and Justice) has taken on the rewriting of history, always with an eye to painting Poles as international victims
Mel Ramos, 1971.
"One Sunday in October 2017, a crowd gathered outside Our Lady, Queen of Polish Martyrs church, in the eastern Warsaw neighbourhood of Grochów. They were there to see the unveiling of a commemorative plaque: 'In Memory of the 200,000 Poles Murdered in Warsaw in the German Death Camp KL Warschau.' Flanked by two soldiers, the plaque was sprinkled with holy water by a priest and then saluted by an army officer, who laid a wreath. The crowd sang the national anthem. In a country littered with memorials to its own suffering, where public life is punctuated by commemorations of the fallen, the ceremony would have been unremarkable were it not for the fact that there is absolutely no evidence that two hundred thousand Poles were murdered in KL Warschau. { } The worst thing about being in that tunnel was not that the people around me believed that so many of their compatriots were gassed there. It was that they so desperately wanted it to be true."
Christian Davies (London Review of Books, April 2019)

But Mate touches on another really important factor in this new proprietor class product and that is its totally binary factor. Ambivalence and ambiguity are both erased. Now these are obvious truths. But this state of cultural hegemony by the elite owners of media and, well, owners of everything, really, has now, several generations into this state of reality, begun to erode consciousness. And I feel it when I visit the states. Young artists have been coercively trained to think in terms of their brand. Complexity is avoided. Now, of course Mate is simplistic (and I suspect he knows this) when he says stuff like "look at yourself" as a prescription for Americans at large. Americans in a sense do look at themselves, but they see nothing. In fact they do little else but look at themselves. They can no longer see, either metaphorically or literally. There are a lot of forces at work to make introspection impossible. And the ubiquitous screen, the new life led on screens motif, is a metaphor, but also a literal fact. The average American distrusts interior life. They distrust intellect and erudition. Actual psychoanalysis no longer exists, and therapy as practiced in the U.S. is mostly empty, if anything it functions as a sort of employment advisor. And the fact that there really are people who self describe as *life coaches* certainly speaks to this. Therapy, too, has become as much about improving one's brand as anything else. I always have to add that I do know, personally, a number of excellent therapists, dedicated and honourable. But they are a stark minority. And anyway, the majority of Americans never go to therapy anyway. They do take a lot of anti depressants, though.
S. H. Raza
This is all a general sort of description of the U.S. (and much of Europe, too). And I think there are deeper questions that are much more difficult to identify. When Beller calls this quality *unthought* he touches on something critical. For what is meant by that statement? It is a statement that validates, on least partly, the idea of an unconscious. And what inheres, what indelibly resides in our relationship with society, is not a *thing*, but a social relation. But what do we mean by society in that sentence? And I think one answer begins with how there is always an alibi in the contemporary white Western mind. And I add white because I have been seeing how deeply race and even just the trace effects of racism, inhere in Americans. (I have not yet read a black believer in overpopulation as a curious example, perhaps). The white westerner of today cleaves from an abstract and mythic ideal of self toward anti black racism and antisemitism. This is a psychic fault line along which America always operates.
The unthought exists within a grand bourgeois reality that itself frays at the edges. The bourgeoisie are today running in dread. From what?
"Too often it has been overlooked that the basic content that determines a formal quality may be an infantile one."
Bertram D. Lewis (The Psychoanalysis of Elation, 1950)
Radomir Damnjonoviæ
"Every micro-moment or "cell" of experience is made of distinction–union tendencies.{ } What would it mean to posit them as indistinguishable and unobservable? Would this mean they are beyond knowing? I suspect there are vast 'domains' we do not, and possibly cannot, know, yet they work and influence us, even structure us. Bion's nameless, wordless Transformations in O point to this, as do countless wordless Buddha-lands beyond conscious categories pointed to in many sutras."
Michael Eigen (Contact with the Depths, 2011)
In 1949 Bertram Lewin wrote a paper where he introduced the idea of what he called a dream screen. The blank black background to dreaming. It was focused primarily on infants, but later Michael Eigen and others (Didier Anzieu and his skin ego is an extension of this) have returned and reconsidered what Lewin had prophetically discovered. For Lewin, the screen was a representation of latent idea, a breast. The baby eats, is satisfied, sleeps. The peaceful sleep of fullness slips into blank background support for dreams, for other dreams. Or as Eigen puts it…"fullness = nothingness = everythingness". Psychoanalysis posits absence (no mother) or frustration (no mother) as the road to symbolization. A symbol is created to fill in for the missing mother. Instead of the literal mother, the material mother, there is a symbolic mother.
Winnicott posited this idea of a primary aloneness. And this is supported by 'good enough' parental attention. Primary aloneness is not concerned with the screen, the blank black screen against which interior life is projected (which isn't quite right, but for now). In this the psyche is not really aware of the screen, nor the support of it. But in a broader sense this is a very Vedic and Buddhist idea of existence. A boundless unknown which is neither symbol nor not symbol. "In a sense, war is an addiction that seeks to mimic, replay, and bring to awareness how catastrophic it felt as an infant when the world fell from under us, when the self fell apart or died for a time, perhaps a very long time. War apes a transient and macabre wholeness state, melding catastrophe with ideal hopes, wholeness incessantly blown up." (Michael Eigen, Contact with The Depths).
David Rosen wrote, at the start of a recent article; "The American suicide rate is at a 50-year high. In 2017, 44,193 committed suicide in the U.S. and 1,652 killed themselves in New York State. In 2016, the City's Health Department reported that 525 people committed suicide."
Miyako Ishiuchi, photography.
Didier Anzieu goes into some depth discussing the idea of a primary aloneness. (although as someone pointed out for Anzieu, who was to do a study, a psychoanalytic study of Beckett, there is always one overseer, observing)..
"Bertram Lewin refers to the "blank screen" (1946) of dreams: the dream is reduced to its container, it has not yet acquired a content. Lewin sees this as standing for the breast emptied by feeding, a flattened-out surface that forms the backcloth on which the future action of real nocturnal dreams will later be projected:…( ) Falling asleep calls into question the psychical framework of the waking state, the three-dimensional body schema with its internal symmetry, the familiar body image. The tactile and visual images we produce while we fall asleep are not organised in relation to each other but arise in series. The main themes are: the flattening out of the body, reduced from a volume to a plane; the uncertainty of bodily limits (swollen or shrunk); the distortion of faces, grinning or threatening (i.e., representations of the imago in its raw state); ( ) sensations of uncanniness in general."
Didier Anzieu (The Skin Ego)
The blank screen is now both a projection, a metaphor, and a material reality in daily life. Screen addiction is severe now, especially among the young. The flattened breast, the frustration of the empty mother, the absent provider of nourishment and pleasure –is the screen, which is boundless black background is also highly activated, even if not quite thought. Symbol and something more. I should add here that Didier Anzieu's work, but especially his major work The Skin Ego, is published in English with a welcome new translation by Naomi Segal. And it is likely among the very most significant books on human psychology ever written.
Michelangelo (Atlas slave, Galleria-dell'Accademia)
"for psychoanalysis is always aware of the existence and importance of individual phantasy—conscious, preconscious, and unconscious— and its role as a bridge and screen mediating between the psyche and the body, the world and other psyches." Didier Anzieu (The Skin Ego) Anzieu believed there was enormous importance to how infants clung to their mother's breast. The gradual loss of hair or fur on the face of human mothers alters the tactile relationship. To summerize, the point is that ..as Anzieu puts it…" The disaster that haunts the nascent psyche of the human baby is the loss of that clinging grip; if that happens, the baby is plunged—to borrow a term later coined by Bion—into 'a nameless dread'." (ibid). The smoother body of the mother facilitates complexities of touch but also restricts others, like clinging.
"We forget that we must subjectively "format" the data of our observations with a priori categorizations (Kant, 1787). Just as a film emulsion catches the rays of light and transforms them into corresponding photographic images, so the images we form and internalize are modified by the subjective emulsions of our internal world, which render these data into personalized subjective experiences prior to their ultimate objectification."
James Grotstein (Who is the Dreamer who Dreams the Dream)
James Bateman (1928)
Grotstein noted that he tried in his clinical practice to listen to the analysand as if what was being said was text. A depersonalised text in a sense. This is something I think writers do — at least theatre writers. Its not what you think you are saying, but rather, if you step back, what is actually said. For it usually if not always more than you thought. But to return this to Anzieu, and to the idea of this cultic addictive contemporary surrender to a narrative of life that is pre-scripted by those (the ruling class, essentially) who control the mass electronic apparatus' of communication and entertainment. And there is another aspect here, as a slight side bar, having to do with a cyclopean singlminded vision (or attention) that tends toward a rigid demonizing of what is seen, the object of attention, and its inherent threat level. The myth of the evil eye (both Muslim and Hebraic) depicts the single eye as inflexible and demonic while stereoscopic sight is perceived as the solution, the tolerant gaze.
In infants the formation of an inside and an outside begins with the breast. Introjection or feeding, and projection, or excreting, become points for creation of boundaries.
"…the infant's introjection of the mother-baby relation as a container-contained relation and the resulting formation of an "emotional space" and a "space for thought"—the earliest thought, that of the absence of the breast, makes the frustration of that absence bearable—leading to an apparatus for thinking thoughts (Bion, 1962); alternative representations of a soft, flaccid amoeba-Ego and a hard crustacean-Ego in the two forms of childhood autism, abnormal primary and encapsulated secondary (Tustin, 1972); the second, muscular skin as a defensive-offensive armour in schizophrenics (Bick, 1968); the formation of three psychical borders, one with the internal space of external objects, one with the internal space of internal objects, and one with the outside world, but which leave a "black hole" (analogous to that of astrophysics) that swallows up any psychical element that comes near—madness, autistic whirlwind (Meltzer, 1975)."
Didier Anzieu (ibid)
Lynne Hershman Leeson, photography, installation.
It is important I think to contemplate the earliest processes for imagining space. Psychic space is metaphor. Bion saw any insecurity about the integrity of the *container* , the skin, in its contact with the mother, as a source of later depersonalization and anxiety. A crippling anxiety and often experienced as a feeling of being drained. But, as Anzieu notes "Every figure presupposes a ground against which it appears." The ground, whether flattened breast or some proto experience of boundlessness, is now outside, and is from very early in the infant's life, an item of importance. If the parent watches the screen and not the infant, the screen *inside* is altered — there is damage to the security of the container. And this is additionally how the infant finds a *space* for thought.
And this is where Beller is, again, important. The technology of the camera, photography, and Capital and slavery. The photograph is both literally and metaphorically raced.
Beller quotes Jonathan Crary…(Technique of the Observer).
"'the optical devices used in the nineteenth century were not invented in cultural vacuums," but were, rather, "[p]remised on 'conceptual structures' that reflect 'points of intersections where philosophical, scientific, and aesthetic discourses overlap with mechanical techniques, institutional requirements, and socio-economic forces.' [P]hotographic equipment also presupposes an ideal viewer—an observing subject—whose cultural privileges can be inferred from (and, consequently conferred by) the ways in which a camera makes the world visible to human perception."
Jonathan Beller (The Message is Murder)
The photograph confirmed racial bias. Its development echoed capitalist hierarchies embedded in the gaze. In sight.
Today the screen is more acutely than ever tied into the psychic formation and development of the child. The interior ground is untrustworthy, and the exterior screen confirms this. That we are several generations into screen privilege, or screen domination, today's adult population exhibits symptoms of repetition compulsion, acute anxiety, and a weakened ego that takes shelter in group think. And western Capital has today penetrated further into all matters of culture, and really of society in all respects, than ever before. The screen is commodified at its inception.
Beller observes "that what is encoded in the basic structure of the photographic apparatus feeds back into the social to re-organize and reproduce it…" Western modernity is then abstracting racial thinking that we can claim for the purposes here began with colonialism (and the invention of these new optical technologies). But the photographic image, the flattened screen image also encodes capital. And hence also encodes class. One aside here is that the many debates that have arisen again regarding overpopulation are nearly obsessive, and take on very distinct (to borrow from Murray Bookchin) theistic quality — a moral code is being articulated, and class is totally absent. The concern for (alleged concern) for the planet seems never to delve into the class structure of the *too many*. But this aside has relevance here, as does a celebrity culture ever more enamoured of the technicians of violence. And as western global violence increases there is an accompanying shrillness given to expressions of love and concern for the planet. The planet is discussed in terms of kitsch anthropomorphism. The tension is, then, one between this mutilated and weakened individual ego, and its attraction to aggression, and the performance of an ideal character whose love is global and planetary.
Anzieu posits a skin ego, and I need to quote him here…
"By "Skin-ego" I am referring to a mental image used by the child's Ego during its early stages of development to represent itself as an Ego containing psychical contents, based on its experience of the surface of the body. This corresponds to the moment when the psychical Ego differentiates itself from the bodily Ego in operative terms but remains mixed up with it in figurative terms. Viktor Tausk (1919) shows particularly well that the syndrome of the "influencing machine" could only be properly understood through the distinction between these two Egos:the psychical Ego continues to be recognised by the subject as his or her own (it is this Ego that implements defence mechanisms against the dangerous sexual drives and interprets logically any perceptible data that reach it) whilst the bodily Ego is not recognised as belonging to the self and the cutaneous or sexual sensations that emanate from it are attributed to the "influencing machine" controlled by the machinations of a seducer-persecutor."
Russel Sorgi, photography (The Genessee Hotel suicide, 1942, Buffalo NY)
Now, consider the later fetishized attachements to substitute skins. Anzieu mentions Sacher-Masoch's Venus in Furs (1870), but there are countless others. The soft velvety and scented fur is there to be luxuriated in while a forgetting of the killing and skinning of the original animal. Consider the massive American slaughter of the bison, as just one example. Trophy hunting and the mounting of animal heads on the wall. Gratuitous killing, often taking place on screens (the now infamous Assange video of collateral murder by U.S. Marines) and executed by screen technicians. The uniform itself has its own relationship with skin and wrapping. Francis Tustin has written much about autism and ideas of wrapping and skin. That the new poster child for environmentalism (corporate highjacked and marketed) Greta Thunberg is an Aspergers autistic seems not arbitrary. Such things are all too perfect when casting — for the new Jesus will most certainly be autistic.
"Sylvie Consoli has presented the case of a masochistic patient who gets pleasure from imagining himself humiliated by a woman under the following circumstances: she is standing dressed in the skin of a sheep or cow while he, on all fours at her feet, identifies as that sheep or cow. This scenario represents a skin common to the man (in the formof the animal) and to the woman who is dominating him, wearing the skin of the same animal, and this complementarity of roles strengthens the illusion of a narcissistic continuity. Body to body, each of them is not so much an "extension" of the other, as Consoli argues, but rather one of the two sides of the common cutaneous interface I have just described. It is worth adding that in many perverse scenarios, as well as in ordinary erotic fantasies, fur often plays a fetishistic role based on its resemblance to the body hair that conceals the genital organs and thus the difference between the sexes."
Sugiura Kunie (Emulsion on paper, acrylic on canvas).
Following the opening quote of Beller's, at the top of this posting, comes this…."A thoroughgoing analysis of this dispositif would necessarily show connections between photography, racism, and political economy—three vectors of objectification—and ultimately should intersect with legal, psychoanalytic, imperialist, and sex-gender systems. "
The psychoanalytical aspect here is related to the dream screen. Lewin's screen was written in the late 1940s, and today, obviously, there is also something Anzieu touches on when he references Viktor Tausk's 1933 article On the Origin of the 'Influencing Machine' in Schizophrenia.
"The schizophrenic influencing machine is a machine of mystical nature. The patients are able to give only vague hints of its construction. It consists of boxes, cranks, levers, wheels, buttons, wires, batteries, and the like. Patients endeavor to discover the construction of the apparatus by means of their technical knowledge, and it appears that with the progressive popularization of the sciences, all the forces known to technology are utilized to explain the functioning of the apparatus. All the discoveries of mankind, however, are regarded as inadequate to explain the marvelous powers of this machine, by which the patients feel themselves persecuted."
Viktor Tausk (ibid)
Jerry Mander, who wrote the rather neglected and still remarkable Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television (1978) mentions the 'influencing machine' and notes it sounds a lot like television. The smart phones of today are clearly the more perfect example.
Titian (Venus with a Mirror, 1555) detail.
So, there are two threads here; one is the ineffable and quasi mystical quality of the unconscious. That mysticism does not preclude a rigorous class analysis however. This ties back into Beller. And the second thread is that of the screen. And they are, obviously, related. For what is unthought and repressed, is also likely traceable to infantile development. But our infantile development does not occur in an historical vacuum.
"…the ancient Jewish custom of choosing a "scapegoat" or ram to sacrifice. One particular aspect of this custom is of note: the members of the congregation, in effect, projected (attributed) their sins to the goat or lamb, which was then taken into the wilderness and allowed to be preyed upon by predators. Psychoanalytically, one can posit that insofar as Christ, the Pascal Lamb, can transform and therefore transcend the projective identifications, he becomes sacred. Insofar as he may be transformed by the projections, however, and therefore fail to transcend them, he has become the devil, who thereupon demands redemption by his relentless "return of the repressed."
James Grotstein (ibid)
Also, the nature of early screens always involved a process of projection. Today screens are lit from within. There are several ways to look at this. If the screen is now an exterior version of an inner dream screen, the light from within implies an intimate relationship with the image on the screen. The metaphor of projection becomes a metaphor of introjection. Or, the viewer is feeding off the image.
Angus Fraser, photography.
"The imprisonment, social death and annihilation of subjects by the logistics of the gaze are fundamental to that relation we name photography. This photo-graphing of the skin, we must insist, is an ineluctable part of what Flusser identifies as the camera's program. To produce photography as a stand-alone platform, slavery must be at once present and disavowed. Which is to say that slavery is one of the methods by and through which photography came to be what it is, or at least what it appears to be—an autonomous platform. From this it is crystal clear that colonialism, and slavery, and the institutionalization and normalization of the practices on which these depended and depend, are part of the conditions by which bodies are first liquidated of subjectivity and reduced to images and signs for others to read."
The skin, which in early photography was always in black and white. So the logical and the certain; which came out of the 17th century turn away from the humanists a century before, is the cyclopean vision of absolutes and proof. This is now deformed into a cultic worship of anonymous numbers and calculation. All technology is viewed as correct and when its proven to be deeply flawed (facial recognition for example) it is still right. The culture reproduces the lie. In fact it compulsively repeats the lie. The cyclopes vision is one that demonizes, it is the vision of superficiality. And the *new* screen is one which emanates from within, the post modern influencing machine. And it is quietly theistic, as well. The glow is kitsch mystical. The viewer is bathed in his own light in a sense.
Marcel van Eeden
Back lit LED devices, employing *blue light* also tend to disrupt circadian rhythm and deep sleep patterns. The intensity of blue light (which has very short wave length but high energy) is known to cause headaches and eye fatigue. I personally cannot spend too much time under fluorescent ceiling lights. I get enormously tired and irritable. That nearly all institutional buildings use fluorescent lighting is worth pondering. But the back lit screen of portable devices suggests something magical.
The contemporary westerner is intwined in a dialectical gaze that both imitates the camera, scans image, and retreats to cyclopean mono dimensionality . The surveillance camera, the CTTV eye is a primary source of subjectivity today, at one level. Anonymity is both manufactured and disavowed. The denial is the residue of an individualism that is fast receding into myth.
"Attention to the ego does not demand blindness toward the instinctual and social dimensions that constrict and choke the ego."

The skin is then sedimented as metaphor, and carries its historical resonance at all times. The severe autistic often will point, for example, using the arm or hand of someone else.
"On the other hand, a dream is an impressionable film: it registers mental images which are for the most part visual, occasionally with added sound or subtitles, sometimes more like photographic stills, but most often animated like cinematic films, or rather—to use a better, contemporary comparison—like a video-clip. This is certainly the activation of one of the Skin-ego's functions—that of the sensitive surface which registers traces and inscriptions. Or if not the Skin-ego, then at least one can say that the image of the dematerialised, flattened-out body provides the dream backcloth on which projected figures appear, symbolising or personifying psychical forces or agencies in conflict with one another. The film may be of poor quality, the reel may get stuck or let in light, making the dream ( ) In order for a dream to occur there must be a Skin-ego (babies and psychotics do not dream, strictly speaking, for they have not acquired a secure sense of the difference between sleep and waking life or between reality and hallucination). Conversely, one of the functions of dreaming is to repair the Skin-ego, not only because it runs the risk of coming undone during sleep but above all because it has been, to one degree or another, riddled with holes by incursions from the day before. In my opinion, this vital function of the dream, restoring the psychical wrapping day by day, explains why everyone—or more or less everyone—dreams every night, or more or less every night."

Whatever the implications of our relationship with various technologies, it is clear, I think, that capital and class are encoded throughout and that the logic of instrumental reason has become the logic of our unconscious. Like it or not. Aesthetic resistance is one way to break the endless loops of compulsion and the deadening of thought and feeling.

Leo starred in The Revenant, produced by Hollywood mogul Arnon Milchan who was involved in the Netanyahu bribery scandal. He gave the Israeli prime minister "gifts worth at least a million shekels ($283,000; £204,000) ." The gifts were given in exchange for help getting Mr Milchan a US visa. It's a big circle jerk.

I looked at the wikipedia page and it looks like its his son who has involvement with game of thrones! Pt of rich offspring handling these things still stands tho
"Hollywood is now deeply entrenched with U.S. intelligence, to the point where the writer and creator of Game of Thrones is Stephen Friedman…see his background here."
He is _the father of_ the creator of Game of Thrones. Slightly different…

Plaza Francia is the new project from Gotan Project's Eduardo Makaroff and Christoph Müller and French singer and actress Catherine Ringer, most famous for fronting one of France's most famous bands of the eighties and nineties, Les Rita Mitsouko. They will be performing at London's Koko on Thursday 23 April as part of La Linea Music Festival. S&C had the pleasure of interviewing Catherine and Eduardo, who were both exceedingly nice, to chat about Plaza Francia, tango music, and its importance to French and world culture.
Could you tell us how you became involved in Plaza Francia?
I was composing some new songs for my personal career, and was invited to sing two songs on a new album with many other singers. It was great and they were very pleased with me, so they asked me if I wanted to do the whole album. Also, I think it's easier to just have one singer on tour! But, as I'm French, it's good to begin a project with someone who is known. So we did a lot of shows, and now happy to come to London.
How does it compare to your previous work as a solo singer and in Les Rita MItsouko?
Well, yes, because I sing in Spanish, and the songs are tango and use the bandoneon [accordion-like instrument].
Is singing in Spanish a big challenge?
I love singing in other languages. I love French as well, but I'm good at other languages. It gives another atmosphere, another place. And I love listening to the emotion in music, even when you don't understand the language. There's no obligation.
You've played tango before, haven't you?
Yes, because tango is in the French style. It's been a love since about 1920, so a lot of songs are based on that rhythm. It's not so far away, you know, very expressive, very euphoric, a lot of drama.
What's the difference with Plaza Francia?
It's different because it's pop. It's based on tango but there are pieces of rhythm & blues, or waltz. There are lots of things happening.
They're different, but I like all the songs very much.
You've previously worked with Argentinean styles, as well as other music. Is Argentina a special place for you?
I've never been to Argentina but I know of Argentinean people in France. There's a lot of freedom in the music, I think it's fresh for our ears. A lot of suspense in the music! And it's music to dance to. I love it for that.
What other Latin American music interests you?
I love Colombian and Peruvian music, the classic sound based on a three, 1-2-3, 1-2-3.
What other styles would you like to explore?
Since my career when I was 17, I've done a lot of different things. I love to experiment, with everything from classical European music, to reggae, to music from movies, to experimental modern music. Once I feel the beauty of the music I can jump in, and it's a great experience each time.
Do you know Sounds and Colours?
They told me it's a good magazine. Let's take a look! [Eduardo goes online] Oh yes, very nice.
Where in Argentina are you from?
I was born in Buenos Aires. I came to Paris in 1990 to develop tango music, because tango history goes back and forth between Paris and Buenos Aires. Tango exploded in France at the beginning of the 20th century.
So tell us about tango.
It's a very multicultural music style. During the 19th century, many European immigrants – from Italy, Spain and France – settled in Argentina. Nearby was a Spanish colony where a third of the population was of African origin, descendents of slaves who had been transported there. This mix of African and European culture produced tango. 'Tango' is an African word. 'Milonga' is an African word.
What do these words originally mean?
As you might have seen in Argentina, 'milonga' means many things. It's a place to dance, or a rhythm or type of dance. It's also a thing, or it can be a woman. But I think that the African translation means 'words'. I'm not sure what 'tango' means, but all these concepts of 'milonga' are at the roots of tango. At the same time as jazz emerged on the banks of the Mississippi River, tango emerged on the backs of the Rio de la Plata. It evolved so strongly that it became a universal style of music, and was adopted and adapted by different countries around the world. As well as French tango, there is Finnish tango, for example.
Finland is perhaps not a country some people would associate with tango.
Maybe, but it's the national music, which is different to Argentinean music. French music uses many rhythms taken from tango. The African roots are the most distinctive aspect.
You're now doing the Plaza Francia project. Where does the name come from?
It's a square in Recoleta in Buenos Aires. When I was young, I was involved in the hippy scene and the rock scene. My brother and I used to smoke weed and sing and pick up girls at Plaza Francia. There's a monument to the French Revolution, and another to Argentine independence. Now we live in Paris, working with tango. So the name Plaza Francia made sense.
What was the appeal of working with Catherine Ringer?
We were looking for female singers, not for tango singers, but for pop or rock singers. Catherine is one of the best singers in the whole of Europe, she had the most important rock group in France [Les Rita Mitsouko]. I have to say it's a dream to work with her, because she's a great artist. It's like working with Aretha Franklin.
What are the differences between Plaza Francia and your previous work in Gotan Project?
Well, it's always about Argentinean tango. But the difference is that with Gotan Project we wanted to approach dance-floor music and DJ culture. The music was instrumental, and mixed tango and electronic. Plaza Francia is more a meeting between tango and pop/rock, so it's very important to have a good singer.
What does this signify for the two projects, Gotan and Plaza Francia? Will you focus more on one than the other from now on?
I'd say that at the moment Plaza Francia is very important, as we didn't know it would be so interesting. We've left Gotan Project 'asleep' for a while. We were working on Gotan for twelve years but we always had side projects. We also work on film soundtracks or documentaries. If you search for Muller & Makaroff and you'll find our stuff. We are very open and, while Plaza Francia is important, Catherine has her own career. So it depends on the plans of each person.
Which other South American music styles inspire you?
We're inspired by Argentinean folk music, people like Atahualpa Yupanqui. A lot of Latin American music – cumbia from Colombia, for example – is very close to our culture. We used to listen to salsa, we're Ruben Blades and Willy Colon fans, and now I like Calle 13. I saw Jorge Drexler and Concha Buika are going to be at the [La Linea] festival.
It seems like Latin American cultural figures have often been drawn to Paris. For example, Violeta Parra, Pablo Neruda and Julio Cortázar lived there for extended periods. Is there a specific appeal?
In my case it's because the history of tango is there. But it's true that filmmakers like Pino Solanas, writers like Cortázar, and others have come here. It's a place of political exile but it's also attractive, because Paris is a cultural centre to determine different types of art. And for tango, Paris is especially attractive.

The analysis centers on the notion of category in synthetic and analytic verbal forms and on the status of the feature that determines the forms of the Latin perfect. In this part of the Latin verbal system, active forms are synthetic ("verbs") but passive forms are analytic (i.e., participle and finite auxiliary). I show that the two perfects occur in essentially the same structure and are distinguished by a difference in movement to T; moreover, the difference in forms can be derived without reference to category labels like "Verb" or "Adjective" on the Root. In addition, the difference in perfects is determined by a feature with clear syntactic consequences, which must be associated arbitrarily with certain Roots, the deponent verbs. I discuss the implications of these points in the context of Distributed Morphology, the theory in which the analysis is framed.

Electronics Powered By Body Heat: A Smartwatch Is Just A Start
The Matrix PowerWatch is certainly pretty cool. Chances are though, time will tell a much bigger story for this kind of technology.
SnapMunk November 15, 2016 • 5 min read
If you've been living under a rock, or perhaps a really large iPhone for the last several months, you may not have heard that smartwatches are struggling. Last month the IDC reported that only 2.7 million smartwatches were shipped in the third quarter of 2016—that's more than a 50% drop from the same time last year.
The struggle is real at the very top too; in Q2 of this year, Apple Watch sales dropped almost 57% YOY, and some industry analysts are projecting that by the end of 2016, total Apple Watch shipments will have been cut 15-25%. Not even Dr. Oz could drum up substantial excitement over a smartwatch he endorsed that is designed to save your life; the iBeat barely squeaked out alive from its Indiegogo campaign raising just 102% of its modest $50,000 target from a meager 427 backers.
So it may seem strange that the Matrix PowerWatch launched yesterday boasting really only one notable selling point: you never have to charge it because, using advanced thermoelectric technology, it is powered by body heat.
"Smartwatches are pretty big right now and they're constantly changing," says Dr. Anne Ruminski, Senior Engineer at Matrix Industries. "A big problem with them is having to charge them frequently…I'm a marathon runner and I wear my GPS watch all the time, and I get really frustrated with it dying in the middle of a run and not knowing my pace and so on. Battery power is getting better, but I still have to charge it every couple of days."
Beyond its infinite battery life, as some media outlets have been quick to point out, the Matrix PowerWatch offers very "little" by way of exciting features; there's the table-stakes step counter and sleep tracking, 50 meters of water resistance, and, by way of its heat-based technology, a more accurate counter for calories burned. Is that enough to get consumer interest ticking?
To some degree, yes. The Matrix PowerWatch Indiegogo campaign has only been live for one day and it has already raised over 180% of its $100,000 goal; just in the time it took to write this article, new backers submitted more than double that initial objective.
But as exciting as this early support is, even Ruminski will tell you that the real thing for which to watch is the other types of small electronic devices in which their patented technology could be applied. The Matrix might look like a smartwatch, but ideally for everyone involved, it plays out more like a vehicle.
"Putting our technology in a watch is a really hard problem because you have to put it in a very small little package, you have to have a nice design, so that's all tricky," explains Ruminski. "So we thought if we could branch into this market, then going into the other markets after that should be much smoother sailing."
At its core, Matrix industries is not a smartwatch company. Matrix Industries is an "energy harvesting" company that uses thermal engineering technology to efficiently and effectively manage power. When it comes to the local software and the companion app that carries the user experience of the Matrix PowerWatch, the bulk of that work will be outsourced to a specialized dev shop. The same strategy has been applied to the design and hardware of the styled watch body itself.
The real heavyweight (but lightweight) technology from Matrix Industries—low-cost thermoelectric, heat management and boost converter technology that has more than four years of work and a few patents behind it—is all about the underlying ability to take the heat from your body and use it to power a small electronic device, without having the device overheat. Your imagination doesn't need to run wild to envision a path this kind of innovation might take.
"We're looking at other areas in the future too," says Ruminski. "For instance, medical devices, like batteryless hearing aids."
That is music to a lot of people's ears. In 2015, US sales of hearing aids increased 7.2% from the year prior, and projections show that 2016 will likely see about 3.7 million units move, marking a follow-up 10% jump. The global hearing aids market is estimated to be worth $4.5 billion as of 2015, and it is only expected to grow over the next seven to ten years. There is also probably a great deal of room for innovation in cardiovascular devices and likely in the rapidly evolving world of prosthetics.
"We're also looking to go into smart logistics," Ruminski explains. "Powering sensors that could be on pallets and shipping containers to keep track of them wirelessly without having to change the batteries often." She says that those are just a few examples and that the company is exploring "a lot" of other avenues for the future.
And there are a lot of potential avenues; for small devices, their technology just requires a small ambient temperature differential to generate power. "The watch has been sitting on my desk the past couple of weeks and I've been watching it flicker on and off with the power charging depending on the air conditioning in the room and the heating," says Ruminski. "It is receiving power even though it's not on my wrist."
In the company's five-year existence, it wasn't until about 9 months ago that they really zeroed in on a smartwatch as the flagship format for their technology. The development progress in such a short time has been impressive, not to mention the funding, coming from places like the University of Michigan and Sand Hill Angels, and now of course a rapidly growing 6-figure injection from Indiegogo.
The interest is not without merit. The Matrix PowerWatch is certainly pretty cool; it looks pretty slick, it provides some helpful information, and of course, as long as you wear it regularly, it never needs to be charged. Chances are though, time will tell a much bigger story for this kind of technology.

Robert Morgan says
Not a fan. I thought the smartphone game was going to be more fun to play, but unless you are willing to spend half the cost of a smartphone for a fifth of the same features, it doesn't make sense.
Donald Beyer says
I am not sure why so many companies are trying to get the "smartwatch" to take hold on consumers. The watch folks want a nice, designer watch they can wear with anything and could care less about the features on the watch. And, the smartwatch fans just want the information they need now and a smartphone does that already.
Janet Wilson says
Hearing aids without batteries might be a great idea! They can be smaller, lighter and feel more comfortable if they are being powered by the body heat that comes through the ear canal.
Sofia Charlebois says
So much time and money into getting things to power themselves these days. Batteries that last longer are blowing things up so I guess it only makes sense.

One of the few remaining structures in the East Broad Top RR's Mt. Union yard is the Engine House.
The Engine House has two stalls; the left stall can accomodate either a standard-gauge or a narrow-gauge engine. The left stall has four rails - standard-gauge and narrow gauge centered on the standard-gauge rails. A single-point switch just outside the Engine House is used to traverse the narrow-gauge engine from the common SG-NG rail to the separate NG rail.
Although three rails lead up to the right stall, it can only accomodate a standard-gauge engine, as the narrow-gauge rail stops just inside the door at the edge of the inspection pit. I presume the inspection pit was added after the Engine House and associated trackage were originally constructed.
The right-side stall contains the EBT's standard-gauge 0-6-0 switch engine #3, stored in inoperative condition. The left-side stall contains the Mt. Union Connecting Railroad's standard-gauge #1 Plymouth CR-4 diesel-hydraulic switch engine.
In recent years the engine house was in deterioriating condition, but after recent roof repairs and repainting, it looks good for a number of years to come.

The New One
Mike Birbiglia
With laugh-out-loud funny parenting observations, the New York Times bestselling author and award-winning comedian delivers a book that is perfect for anyone who has ever raised a child, been a child, or refuses to stop acting like one.
In 2016 comedian Mike Birbiglia and poet Jennifer Hope Stein took their fourteen-month-old daughter Oona to the Nantucket Film Festival. When the festival director picked them up at the airport she asked Mike if he would perform at the storytelling night. She said, "The theme of the stories is jealousy."
Jen quipped, "You're jealous of Oona. You should talk about that."
And so Mike began sharing some of his darkest and funniest thoughts about the decision to have a child. Jen and Mike revealed to each other their sides of what had gone down during Jen's pregnancy and that first year with their child. Over the next couple years, these stories evolved into a Broadway show, and the more Mike performed it the more he heard how it resonated -- not just with parents but also people who resist all kinds of change.
So he pored over his journals, dug deeper, and created this book: The New One: Painfully True Stories From a Reluctant Dad. Along with hilarious and poignant stories he has never shared before, these pages are sprinkled with poetry Jen wrote as she navigated the same rocky shores of new parenthood.
So here it is. This book is an experiment -- sort of like a family.

Professor Timothy Bluesky's ground-breaking research into a Grand Unifying Theory of Life & Earth is a last-ditch effort to save the world's children from climate change.
He is to deliver an important keynote address, dedicated to his little granddaughter, Dorothy.
But, at the last moment, the Federal Government cancels his speech and replaces it with a thinly-veiled promotion for fossil fuels.
Shattered and broken by the system, unable to continue his mission, what will Bluesky become?
Mister Bluesky is a short novel that takes just one hour to read. It is designed as the Celestine Prophecy for Sustainability.
"Let me be very clear with you. The global ecosystem is collapsing and human civilisation is running out of time to take expedient action to avert our looming extinction. But I believe that this short book, Mister Bluesky, could become the Celestine Prophecy of Sustainability - a world-changing book that 'everyone' knows of or has read. It's a how to manual for a spiritual and ecological revolution. So, read Mister Bluesky today, and share the message widely while we still can."
