So, yes, it has been a long time since we've updated the blog, like maybe 2 months. Last time we talked to you about our Machinima series "Missing" which we had wrapped production on. Today we're going to be talking about what we have for the rest of the summer and some of the things we're preparing for later.
We said Crash Course would be ready by June. It is now June 17 and we haven't had an episode of Crash Course. We're still working diligently to get out this first season as quickly but with high quality. The first season will be about 15 episodes, and so far we only have 5. Still working people, still working.
Alrighty, we had an ON Skit not too long ago about Ultimate Frisbee that was not the best we had planned. We also have an ON Skit ready, but we're holding off on this one for a little bit. We plan to have 3-4 more skits this summer, and this Fall only a few. The ones we have lined up are going to be fun with people like Winn, Luke, and Hanvit(?). WE WILL ALSO HAVE MACHINIMATED SKITS! As you undoubtedly read it, yes, will have Machinimated skits coming to the channel! The first one is "Is It Because I'm an Alien?" starring Haeden and John.
So, production on The Unathletics is still strong. We're almost done with the second to last episode and all voice acting has already wrapped. The schedule is going to be Two Main Episodes, One Minisode, Two Main Episodes, One Week Off, One Minisode, Two Main Episodes, and a special Finale Minisode. We're all excited to see your feedback and reactions to our newest cartoon! You can follow one of our voice actors here!
DADY AND SONNs MACHINIMA SERIES!??!??!?!?!?
Yes, you read that correctly, Dady and Sonn(and Sonny) are getting their own machinima series. The series is going to kick off later this month with the special short "Dady and Sonn Meet Mr. Jenkins." We will then have monthly to bimonthly episodes, and the special film "Dady and Sonn and Sony vs. The Covenant." Haeden is writing and directing, and with Alex, Connor, John, Ryleigh, and special guests lined up for voice acting and body acting.
We have so much Machinima lined up for you, it's a little insane. As you may recall, we had no plans to further continue the story we began in Missing, but Alex pitched one of the greatest ideas we had ever heard. Alex is writing this series and Haeden is helping him a little bit with formatting along the way. We're going to follow Leader in his early days as Leader and see the early workings of Project Fastburn. We have many great voice actors who are helping us, and Haeden will be reprising his roles. We're going to have about 9 episodes, and they're going to be 3-4 minutes long each. Haeden will be directing once again, and we're going to start production soon.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING, WE CAN'T WAIT TO DELIVER THIS CONTENT TO YOU ALL!

KAMPALA. The government, together with the secretary general of the East African Community (EAC) have been dragged to court over the move by government to charge its citizens Shs250,000 to acquire a new EAC E-passport.
In their lawsuit that they filed at the registry of the East African of Justice in Kololo, Kampala two youth, Norman Tumuhimbise, Arnold Musoke and a nongovernmental organization labelled 'Youth Line Forum Ltd', claim that the period given to the Ugandan citizens to switch to international EAC E-passports, is not sufficient and exclusionary to both Ugandans living both within and abroad contrary to the principals of equality, accountability and the rule of law.
The youth who spent the whole day at the registry of the East African of Justice have asserted to take their petition at Arusha after the registrar and his clerk were nowhere to be seen to receive their petition.
The youth also accuse the heads of state of the EAC countries for directing partner states to begin issuing the new international EAC passport beginning January 2017 without any legal backing and regulatory framework contrary to the principles of equality, accountability, transparency, variable geometry, subsidiarity rule of law, good governance and democracy enshrined in Article 6(d), 7(d) and 8(c) of the Charter.
Through their lawyers of Kiiza & Mugisha Advocates are seeking for a declaration that the failure and or refusal of the East African Community to pass and or set the standard fees to be charged by partner states for the EAC E-passports is inconsistentprinciples of equality, accountability, transparency, variable geometry, subsidiarity rule of law, good governance and democracy enshrined in Article 6(d), 7(d) and 8(c) of the Charter.
They also want a permanent injunction restraining the respondents and any of their authorities, agent's agencies and organs from proceeding with or further implementing the impugned directives herein contested until a clear legal foundation for the EAC E-passports has been established in Uganda at an equitable and affordable rates reached after a meaningful public participation that enhances social justice.

KMSS chief Akhil Gogoi to contest Assembly polls in 2021
GUWAHATI , January 15, 2018 8:07 pm
KMSS leader Akhil Gogoi
Peasants' organisation Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS) chief Akhil Gogoi on Monday said he would contest the next assembly polls in Assam.
According to reports, his organisation KMSS would soon start the groundwork for this purpose with the possible renaming of his political party or even the birth of a new one.
The Assembly election in Assam is scheduled to be held in 2021. Gogoi on March 20, 2015 floated a political party, Ganamukti Sangram, Assam, during the conference of KMSS at Diroi Rangoli Pathar at Moran in Sivasagar district. The party, however, refrained from contesting polls in the state.
Gogoi told a section of media that while he was not averse to having an alliance with like-minded forces to fight "fascist BJP", he would prefer to create a third alternative excluding the Congress.
"We are going into electoral politics. We have had debates, within the KMSS and nationally, whether fascism could be resisted only by movements. We reached the understanding that without parliamentary politics, BJP's communal fascism cannot be resisted," Gogoi told a section of media in Guwahati.
The KMSS chief said he discussed the electoral move in the executive committee meeting of his organisation on December 28, the day after he was released from jail.
He said the party will focus on two aspects initially resisting "fascism" and expanding the political front across the state.
Gogoi was released from prison on December 27 after 105 days of his arrest under the National Security Act (NSA) and other charges including sedition.
The peasants' leader was arrested on September 15 by the Dibrugarh Police for a speech in which he allegedly incited people to take up arms and other cases. The Gauhati High Court, however, quashed the cases against Gogoi.
On January 9, Gogoi addressed a rally in New Delhi which was led by Jignesh Mevani, the young firebrand legislator from Gujarat.

Dr. J.F. True's Elixir: The medicine that made Auburn famous
By Steve Collins
AUBURN — If you believe the advertising in the latter half of the 19th century, gulping down a bit of Dr. J.F. True's Elixir offered the best possible treatment for everything from a headache to a lizard living in your stomach.
Regardless of whether it really worked or not, the dark and somewhat alcoholic liquid that was shipped out to druggists across the country under True's name put Auburn on the map.
Nearly forgotten today, the Auburn-made mixture was once a staple for many families angling to "Keep Children Well" in an era when the medical profession had yet to find its bearings and sickness was striking down a hefty share of American youngsters.
At a time when truth-in-advertising regulations essentially did not exist, True made staggering claims for his brew.
"The best worm remedy made," one ad claimed. "When True's Elixir hits the worm, he knows it is useless to struggle and he must surrender."
He said his concoction would expel tapeworms "head and all in under three hours."
True insisted his elixir drove out a 70-foot tapeworm from Benjamin Hill of Auburn and a 60-foot one that had tormented "a child of John Ferguson of Lewiston."
Bad as those sound, True also touted his elixir's success in releasing a 6-inch-long spotted lizard from the stomach of a Bangor woman and in ridding a boy in Danville of "a living creature 18 inches long and two inches in circumference, a species of snake."
In an 1886 ad in the Bangor Daily Whig and Courier, the doctor claimed his medicine had "expelled several lizards" from some poor soul's innards. One of them, True said, was eight inches long, spotted "and belongs to the water species and looks like a veritable young alligator."
Some ads featured drawings of odd creatures floating in jars that True claimed his elixir had driven out of a suffering customer somewhere — not just pinworms and tapeworms, but all sorts of things, including a frog.
The sales success of True's medicine is a clear indication that few people wanted to have worms, lizards, frogs or snakes living within.
But the self-promoting huckster didn't stop there.
True claimed in 1894 that his "purely vegetable and harmless" elixir could do a whole lot more than take on the toughest creatures. He insisted it was also the best remedy "for all the complaints of children, such as Feverishness, Costiveness, Indigestion, Sour Stomach, etc."
"It cures all Children's Diseases and for adults in cases of Constipation, Biliousness, Loss of Appetite, Jaundice, Dizziness, Headaches, Torpid Liver" and more, True asserted.
In a 1906 ad, True's company claimed the elixir cured "furred tongue, variable appetite, disturbed sleep, malaria, irritability (and) poor complexion . . ."
"It has no equal," True insisted.
True delivered his medical miracle for 35 cents for a bottle containing a bit less than 5 ounces. That 1894 price tag is the equivalent of $10 a bottle in today's inflated money.
THE PUNGENT ODOR OF HERBS
For many families, True's Elixir became a cure-all.
When "an anxious mother" wrote to the Talk With the Doctor column in American Motherhood magazine in 1910 about her sickly 4-year-old daughter, she wondered if the girl's inability to sleep, crying and "very bad odor" might be the result of worms.
"I have given her Dr. True's Elixir thinking this might help her," the woman said. The doctor doubted the diagnosis.
In a 1913 case history of pediatric patients, John Lovett Morse mentioned 3-year-old Russell, who was growing weak, acting irritable and picking his nose a lot.
"His mother, suspecting worms, had given him True's Elixir several times, but never obtained any worms," Morse wrote.
He said he wouldn't even take note of the possibility of worms except that the diagnosis was so commonly made by mothers, grandmothers and even doctors who ought to know better.
Joy Swan's account of a girl's life in rural Maine more than a century ago, "Aunt Susy's Boarding House: The Story of A Girl Growing Up In Maine," showed the importance some placed on True's medicine.
She said that profits from the fall harvest were used to obtain the essentials, "usually swapped for corn meal, oranges if available, cod liver oil, Dr. True's Elixir and salt."
After the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906, which forced patent medicine hawkers to tone down their ads, True's company dropped its most outlandish claims and relied on vague assurances of better health and the long-established habits of customers to continue churning out its famed elixir.
By 1923, True's company was selling more than 150,000 bottles of the stuff annually. It also offered a wide array of other products, from headache pills to True's Sore Throat Gargle.
Unlike most of the medicines of its time, the active ingredients of True's Elixir are not lost to time.
John Phillips Street, a Connecticut state chemist, figured out in 1914 that it contained 8.5 percent alcohol by volume as well as Santonin and Emodin.
Santonin was a widely used drug that paralyzed the heads of parasitic worms, causing them to release their grip on internal organs so they could be passed out of the body. It has been replaced by safer drugs today, but at the time, it was the appropriate treatment for someone with worms.
Emodin is a traditional Chinese herbal laxative made from rhubarb, buckthorn or Japanese knotweed, that invasive species that irks so many Maine gardeners. Emodin is used almost entirely in labs today, replaced by safer alternatives in commercial products.
What else might have been included is unknown.
What is known, though, is that it smelled.
Back in 1972, Colby College historian Ernest C. Marriner mentioned on his radio series "Little Talks on Common Things" that old-timers recalled "the pungent odor of herbs and other concoctions that pervaded the atmosphere" around True's Auburn laboratory.
THE TRUE STORY
For a widely known figure in his day, there's surprisingly little available to shed light on the man behind the medicine.
From census records, it appears all but certain that the J.F. True on all those bottles and advertising was John Fogg True, a physician.
Living in Dexter in 1851, True created his famous elixir in his own kitchen "though he did not realize at the time that he compounded a remarkable medicine," as a 1921 story in the Lewiston Daily Sun put it.
At first, he merely used it himself, then he introduced it to neighbors and, finally, to customers.
One of his first decisions after creating the new medicine was to move away from tiny Dexter to a place just beginning to come into its own, Auburn, which offered ready access to the Androscoggin and Kennebec Railroad. That made shipments to Portland, Boston and beyond far simpler for him.
By 1854, he had moved to Auburn with his wife, who won prizes that year from the Androscoggin County Agricultural Society for her picture frames and woolen hose.
An 1860 business guide listed him as a patent medicine manufacturer on Court Street.
That same year, he took out an ad in the Lewiston Gazette touting his product to local consumers.
"Grand Trunk Canal," it stated. "As a large amount of freight which should be used for better purposes is being consumed daily by a sponging set of loafers called worms that infest the Alimentary Canal, we would call the attention of those who see and feel the sad effects of those varmints to a safe and effective remedy called Dr. John L. True's Justly Celebrated Pin Worm Elixir."
As time passed, more and more New England families opted to keep children safe with regular helpings of True's Elixir.
By 1877, True had built a laboratory "to keep pace with the ever-increasing demand for his medicines," according to the 1921 Lewiston Sun story. He expanded it eight years later.
"The product had by this time won a sure name for itself and its worth was recognized in the medical world. It was fast becoming a by-word in the household and proportionately the firm continued growing," the paper said in a brief history of the company.
True then erected a spacious laboratory in 1891 in the rear of his family home on Drummond Street. He lived in the two-story 1848 colonial that still stands, though his laboratory is long gone.
The Sacred Heart Review in 1897, when it took note of True's 80th birthday, said the the elixir's creator had "early adopted the study of natural history and especially botany and became so proficient in these studies that he has long been recognized as an authority."
Those studies, it said, led to the discovery of the elixir.
It also pointed out that True "has been a consistent taker of his own medicine and attributes to it his wonderful vitality and activity, equal to those of most men of 65."
He died three years later.
THE MEDICINE THAT MADE AUBURN FAMOUS
Advertising was likely the key to True's success at a time when snake oil salesmen were hawking patent medicines in any venue where a customer might be found.
It had a long list of newspapers where its ads regularly appeared, placed by the Boston office of one of the country's biggest marketing firms.
An advertising journal called Printer's Ink in 1902 mentioned that True's Elixir "is being advertised with a fine series of pictures in the drug store windows, a well-displayed ad in the newspapers and the distribution of a booklet."
"All in all, the advertising is so much better than the general run that it is no wonder that the business has grown since 1851 when the product was made in a kitchen to the present pretentious manufactory having six compounding vats, each with a capacity of hundreds of gallons," the magazine added.
True's death in 1900 appears to have done little to slow the company's growth.
After the doctor's demise, his sons, Edward and James, continued the enterprise for a number of years. In 1907, the Maine Chamber of Commerce said they were doubling the firm's business each year.
Despite federal regulations, the Auburn company didn't easily abandon its patent medicine roots.
When a deadly flu epidemic struck in 1918, it headlined an advertisement in a Massachusetts daily "Save Yourself From Influenza."
It suggested that "if you are run down or out of condition. If sluggish bowels have allowed poisonous impurities to accumulate in your system you are certain to suffer severely with the grippe."
"Dr. True's Elixir, the famous household remedy of 67 years' reputation, will ward off the grippe entirely or make an attack light and easily thrown off," the ad said. It insisted the vegetable tonic would strengthen digestive powers, relieve constipation and "put the system in good condition."
By 1921, when the Lewiston paper wrote about the company as it celebrated 70 years in business, it pointed out that "in these days of the multitude of patent medicines, widely advertised products of that nature come and go with regularity, flushing forth in big type for a few months or a year and then disappearing forever."
But that sort of quick demise was not, it noted, the fate of the "medicine that has made Auburn famous."
TRUE FATE OF THE FAMED ELIXIR
After the death of True's sons, the family sold the company in 1947 to Auburn financier George Lane, "who made the business a subsidiary of a larger corporation with a laboratory in Hanover, Mass.," according to historian Marriner.
Before long, it was owned by George Tobias of Natick, Mass., who manufactured True's Elixir in the 1950s.
By then, its bottles carried a label calling the elixir "the true family laxative" and warning people that prolonged use "may result in dependence."
Something else on the label jumps out: Its ingredients had changed.
By 1952, it still contained 8 percent alcohol but its active ingredients were senna leaves and aloin, neither of them present when Connecticut's chemist analyzed the elixir before World War I.
Senna remains an over-the-counter laxative commonly relied on to treat constipation and also to clear the bowels before such diagnostic tests as colonoscopies.
Aloin is a bitter, yellow-brown compound made from aloe leaves that was also used to treat constipation until the Food and Drug Administration pulled it off the market in 2002 due to safety concerns.
The manufacturer kept churning it out along with some other old patent medicines with renowned names, including Lydia Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In any case, the last bottle that carried the Dr. True's Elixir name landed on a drug store shelf in 1955.
It hasn't been manufactured since.

This was, most likely, the best Parsifal I have ever heard. Perhaps it was not quite the best I have seen, but it was not so very far off. Stefan Herheim's Bayreuth production remains – well, its unanswerable self, or rather its self which permits of so many questions and answers that it continues to develop in the mind long after it was last seen in 2012. Dmitri Tcherniakov's staging is a masterpiece, too: very different, of course, as it should be. Indeed, of the post-Herheim stagings I have seen, it is unquestionably the greatest. Returning to it, following its 2015 premiere, Tcherniakov has, in good Werkstatt Bayreuth fashion, made some changes. I am not convinced that they are all for the better, but then nor was I with Herheim. They nevertheless keep one on one's toes, or keep one's eyes on whatever they should be on, and forestall any disastrous lapse into ritualism.
Not, of course, that the audience by and large noticed. The preposterous prohibition on applause was still being enforced by those who may know some Wagner but understand nothing of him. Protecting a ritual which has long lost its justification, if ever it had one; mindless veneration of a sinister cult: yes, look around you and see our present-day guardians of the Grail. One does not even have to have a developmental view of an artwork to appreciate the utter folly of treating the first act as a Christian rite. One simply has to listen to the words. What Wagner presents is heretical in the extreme, as much a Feuerbachian inversion, even a black mass, as anything else. And it is a representation, a dramatisation, not the thing itself. Is that so difficult for someone sitting in a theatre to understand? Do people attending a performance of Don Giovanni think the singer playing the Commendatore has really just been murdered? Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, this is not the St Matthew Passion, for which there are perfectly good reasons to behave quite differently; you are not part of a congregation. By all means, feel no need to applaud; that is your prerogative. However, you have no right to enforce your uncomprehending choice upon others; even Bayreuth has given up on that. If you doubt me, read The Master himself: his Religion und Kunst.
The great irony is, of course, that a few moments' attention to Tcherniakov's staging would have told them the same too. Here we have a religious community of a decidedly Russian nature: a community of Old Believers, possibly. Khovanschina certainly comes to mind. Yet it is clearly a sham. To us, to the leaders, perhaps to those participating; that latter point is unclear, productively so. But Titurel's ritualistic staging of his own death in the first act and re-emergence from the coffin once 'it' is all over stands at the very heart of the drama. He is a sinister, charismatic dictator: the cult leader we all know and fear. Moreover, his sadism in insisting, for whatever reasons, that his son, Amfortas go through what he must time and time again, chills to the bone. The identification between Father and Son of the (un-)Holy Trinity is clear, not least through Amfortas's Christ-like stance. Where Wagner's Third Act makes the still extraordinary claim that it is necessary to prevent Christ from ascending to the Cross in the first place, here we see the consequences either of that failure to prevent – perhaps, or, as we shall find out, chez Tcherniakov, perhaps not, to be reversed – or of a descent into meaningless from something that perhaps once was achieved. The child, even when grown adult, is the victim. For Hegel and his followers, amongst whom we should certainly count Wagner, the agony of the god-man on the Cross was a paradigmatic case in every sense. As with most great productions, we find, dialectically, fidelity in infidelity: perhaps all the more so experiencing the work on Good Friday.
Parsifal (Andreas Schager) and Flowermaidens
Freud is, of course, never far away in Parsifal; nor is he here. That abuse is paralleled, echoed, even prefigured in the extraordinary Second Act. Where Tcherniakov's sets had previously offered the backdrop for Gurnemanz's slide-show of past Parsifal glories, Wagner's own inspirations coming back to life (possibly deceptively, not unlike a visual game of Call my Bluff), now they seem literally to have been whitewashed, as the nightmare of child abuse is re-enacted and intensified. Kundry, who has a past not only with Amfortas, not only with the others mentioned when Klingsor summons her, but also, most intriguingly and frighteningly, with Gurnemanz too, brings Parsifal to the realisation that he had no choice but to kill his mother. In the show enacted before him and us, the girl we see – sister or girl-next-door? – arouses him, he touches her, and then Herzeleide walks in. The girl having been struck by his mother and banished, he tries it again with her. Does he know what he is doing when touching her breasts? Herzeleide certainly does, and so she must die. Orchestrating the show is, of course, Klingsor, whose paedophilia and exploitation of paedophilia are shockingly clear – perhaps shockingly too from our instant reaction to his stereotypical 'weirdo from around the corner' costume. Is our initial rush to judgement part of the problem? Perhaps; perhaps not. Flowermaidens with dolls, themselves dolls, initially having been the objects of potential rescue by our have-a-go hero, Parsifal, yet casually forgotten still more quickly, perhaps, than Herzeleide had been, Kundry was always going to have to take centre-stage with her bag of tricks, clutched close to her during the preceding act. I am not quite sure that the more conventional method of seduction on offer this time around was so successful, Kundry, as so often, shedding her outer layer; that coat having been left on all the time in 2015, it is now shed to reveal a blue dress. Startling yes, unlike everything else, but perhaps more of a tradition that Tcherniakov had initially seemed willing to resist.
Not to worry: much remains to provoke, not least the offstage kiss. What happened? We shall never know. It traumatises, though, damaging yet another human life, just as the panoply of events, 'real' and 'remembered' has been doing during both acts – and will continue to do so in the third. That, I think, might be the reason for the relative lack of 'drama' in that final act. What might be taken as running out steam is part of the point. It lulls us into a false sense of security, only to be cruelly woken up by Amfortas's searching the coffin for the missing Titurel, and finally for Gurnemanz's closing murder of Kundry. Whatever it is that has been going on has led, once again, to the most extreme of measures; Parsifal might be doing the right thing in carrying her away, but is he as clueless as he was before, whatever the claims of durch Mitleid wissend? Kundry now, unlike 2015, appears already to be dying, before Gurnemanz reaches her. Has she tricked him, tricked us; has she actually found agency through premature death? Or does that not just return us to Wagner's highly problematic insistence upon female sacrifice? That I found an intriguing addition to the production; I was less clear why she does not take the doll out of her bag again in this act. I need to see it again, I think: just as well it is programmed for Holy Week, 2017.
None of that would make so searing an impact, of course, without outstanding performances from all concerned. Daniel Barenboim's conducting of the superlative Staatskapelle Berlin confirmed that he is surely the greatest Wagner conductor alive, or at least at work. (I think we can sadly presume that we shall hear no more Wagner from Bernard Haitink, although we can hope to hear much else, in the concert hall.) Barenboim's command of line was here beyond reproach, but never at the expense of drama, of 'deeds of music made visible' – or here, in a further dialectical twist, made once again audible. It is his near-Furtwänglerian ability to combine so many musico-dramatic imperatives that most impresses, or rather that one hardly notices, so 'right' does it seem. And so 'right' does this great orchestra sound, its dark German strings guardians, or better developers, of tradition. They know, and so do we, that Mahler, Schoenberg, Boulez, et al., have extended our ears; they know, and so do we, that Mahler, Schoenberg, Boulez, et al., could not have done so without Wagner. Wagner's orchestral Greek Chorus deepens the deception onstage and its implications.
Klingsor (Tómas Tómasson) and the Flowermaidens
Once again, then, the dialectic between fidelity and infidelity thickened, yet also clarified, the plot. The actual chorus was magnificent too. Tcherniakov's blocking is that of an Old Master – almost literally, in the not-quite-Biblical scenes we see painted onstage, especially at the horrifying close. They look outwards, frozen, perhaps in fear: what are we to make of it? Their singing was equally impressive; indeed, there was no distinction readily to be made between the visual and aural aspects of their work, which is just as it should be.
Andreas Schager's Parsifal was truly a thing of wonder, without question the greatest I have ever heard. The beauty and strength of tone to be heard from this truest of Heldentenors, is joined by perhaps a greater variegation still than last year. His acting the gawky adolescent was again uncanny (unheimlich, one might better say). So too was the transformed man of peace (or of fanaticism?) of the third act. What did it mean, the way he was looking at, singing at, Kundry? There was much for us to ponder, those of us who cared to look and to listen. René Pape, despite the occasional verbal slip, made still more of his words than last year as Gurnemanz. (Again, I hasten to add, that is not a criticism of 2015, more a judgement that this was better still.) His beauty of tone is the stuff of legend, and so again it was here. He clearly benefited greatly from Tcherniakov's direction, just as Tcherniakov greatly benefited from his artistry. Wolfgang Koch was, I think, certainly of healthier voice than last year; hearing a Wotan, who sometimes sounded just like a Wotan, in the role offered all manner of interesting critical possibilities. Moreover, one felt, almost literally, his agony. The nastiness, the sadism, in their different yet ultimately similar ways, of Tómas Tómasson's Klingsor and Matthias Hölle's Titurel were crucial elements of the unfolding drama; theirs were no 'minor' roles.
Waltraud Meier's Kundry was always going to be special; I heard her penultimate performance, her last hurrah reserved for Easter Monday. As ever, there was no gainsaying her commitment, especially during the second act, in which she threw everything she had, and then some, into what seemed like the performance of a lifetime, however many performances of a lifetime she had actually given. Comparisons with Anja Kampe last year would be superfluous, even if Kampe had not been ill; both are great artists, but the occasion of bidding farewell to a role with which Meier has been for so long been so closely associated was something of which no one would have been unaware. No one who attended this Parsifal, who watched and listened, will forget the almost incredibly high standards of musical performance and dramatic intelligence from all concerned.

A Munro said...
Dear Mark,Many thanks for drawing my attention to this production last year. I attended this year, Good Friday. I agree almost 100% with what you have written. This production has troubled and disturbed me since my return, and i think i can say it is the greatest production i have seen. Musically it was incomparable and i have heard Solti, Haitink, Goodall and Abaddo in the theatre. Tell me, was the Herheim production never released on DVD?
Thank you! So glad you got as much out of it as I did. Some impressive comparisons there! Alas, the Herheim production was never released; it was going to be, but a spanner was put in the works and there now seems no likelihood of that happening. A tragedy, which someone really should put right.
This is a production that I too hope to see one of these days, but I was visiting friends in Sweden this Easter, so my Parsifal took place at the Kungligan Operan in Stockholm on Easter Monday. The production was by Christof Loy, a fact that troubled me in advance, since I hadn't been convinced by his attempt to domesticate Tristan and Isolde at Covent Garden. However, I found his Parsifal much more persuasive. Again there was an effort to domesticate things, so that Guernemanz seemed to lead a household, a family, of devout country folk - one could take them for a minority religious group like the Amish. But there was also a very strong sense of the cruelty of Amfortas' situation. He was a literal Christ figure here, with crown of thorns and gaping side wound, huddled in a blue cloak that reflected the hues of Renaissance paintings - yet it was left open to the spectator to take this as a critique of Christian doctrine of substitutionary atonement in itself, or as a suggestion that the Grail Knights are participating in a blasphemous perversion of Christianity. I shall not forget Peter Mattei's anguished performance in the role.
The ending (the detail of which I won't spoil) was extraordinary - it offered, in one sense, a defiantly secular reading, but one which at the same time acknowledged the way in which Christianity has shaped Western culture, including, of course, the opera we had just seen and heard. This was, indeed, not a Good Friday Parsifal, but an Easter Monday Parsifal.
The question of applause at the end of Act 1 came up in conversation with the friend who was accompanying me before the performance. We agreed that we would follow the custom of the house and do as the rest of the audience did. But Loy made his preference clear: after the music stopped at the end of Act 1, several of the singers remained on stage, and there was was felt like a minute or so of stage business, with the lights eventually coming up while this business was ongoing. There couldn't have been a clearer indication that we were meant not to applaud, but the audience didn't seem to understand the signal. So while everyone else clapped, my friend and I sat in silence - not out of any sense of misplaced mystical piety, but out of respect to the director's intentions.

- Spel baserat på sexism, rasism, hbtq-fobi och funkofobi är strängt förbjudet.
- Deltagare som bryter mot trygghetsdokumentets regler kan komma att bli avhysta från lajvområdet med omedelbar verkan eller få sina spelmöjligheter hämmade, beroende på regelbrottets allvarlighetsgrad. Beslutet tas av arrangörerna.
- Om en medspelare tar upp en händelse med dig där hen känt sig obehaglig till mods, kränkt, eller på något annat sätt utsatt: lyssna. Fråga främst vad spelaren behöver av dig. Erbjud gärna en kram (fråga först, vänta på bejakande svar). Hjälp dem att ta sig till trygghetsvärden.

Zambia copper explorer has exclusivity agreement with Anglo American
9th November 2020 By: Martin Creamer - Creamer Media Editor
Nick von Schrinding (left) and Bernard Swanepoel (right).
JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Copper explorer Arc Minerals, which has done extensive exploration drilling in Zambia in its study of a near-term copper opportunity, has signed an exclusivity agreement with Anglo American, Arc Minerals executive chairperson and CEO Nick von Schirnding has reported.
The UK Aim-listed Arc Minerals holds former Anglo American copper assets in the north-west part of Zambia, which remains largely unexplored, and Von Schirnding is himself a former Anglo American plc and De Beers executive. (Also watch attached Creamer Media video.)
"Obviously, because of the exclusivity with Anglo, we are not able or, in fact, desirous to enter into any other discussions with any other group, but I can say that we have had further follow-up approaches by two major miners, which obviously we are not able progress at this stage. We'll have to see what Anglo decide to do by the early part of next year, but we're in a very good place, we're in a very sweet spot, with a lot of interest," Von Schirnding told last week's Junior Indaba, chaired by mining luminary Bernard Swanepoel and covered by Mining Weekly.
"We've done a lot of drilling with phenomenal results," said Van Schirnding.
More than 17 000 m of drilling at a cost of $3.5-million has identified 14 copper targets and Arc's market capitalisation has grown from roughly £2-million three years ago to nearly $50-million currently.
"We really do believe we're sitting here on very valuable exploration assets, and that says everything in terms of our valuation today," said Von Schirnding, whose father, Kurt von Schirnding, was South Africa's former Ambassador to the United Nations.
"Our game plan is to exploit as many of these targets that we've identified to make it as attractive to a potential suitor. Now that suitor could be a major, like obviously we've just signed up with Anglo American; it could be a mid-cap; or it could be any other potential funder, including private equity, who have also reached out to us.
"We're not here to simply keep drilling for the sake of drilling, as I think many junior companies do without really an end game in sight. We're equally not here as a lifestyle company. We know exploration is a very tough game. You've seen the lack of really any major success with the majors over the last 25 to 30 years and that, I think, in many respects is because they are not focused enough and they don't incentivise enough, and I'm a huge believer in incentivisation. So, we incentivise our people based on success," Von Schirnding emphasised.
"We're really going for ideally some sort of commercial relationship with a much larger company that can drill this out as it should be because, truth be told, on any of these 14 targets, we really should be spending $4-million to $5-million per target. It is what I call the butterfly approach; we identify, on an opportunistic basis, as many key targets for a partner to come and develop them, either exclusively or jointly with us," he added.
Arc has two major licences with 66% interest in Zamsort and a 72.5% interest in Zaco, which collectively cover 872 km2, which are close to First Quantum's Sentinel and Kansanshi, and Barrick's Lumwana mines.
The licenses were previously explored by Equinox Minerals and Anglo American Prospecting Services by way of the Zambezi Joint Venture through Anglo's affiliate Zamanglo Prospecting during the late 1990s as part of the Kabompo project.

From Maidan to Myanmar. The Colour Revolution Show
Why has a three-finger salute been adopted by protesters from Thailand to Myanmar? Why did rioters in Hong Kong carry bows and arrows as part of their lethal arsenal and famously declared "If we burn, you burn with us"? And why did the slogan "Hunger Games since 1994. Death to the regime" appear on banners in Belarus?
To answer these questions we need to look at how colour revolutions and the global media industry feed on each other to create mutually reinforcing spirals within the context of cultural imperialism, that systematic dissemination of cultural products, values, behaviors that conform with the interests of the hegemonic centre.It is also useful to consider how the reiteration of particular narratives across different media influences the construction of social and political identities.
When a colour revolution was instigated in Ukraine at the end of 2013, Western media outlets quickly drew parallels between the street battles in Kiev and a fictional rebellion against tiranny that had smashed box office records a year earlier. By conflating the Maidan square protest and The Hunger Games, a Hollywood film franchise, the media created an easily marketable hybrid, the "Ukraine-ger Games" — one part fact, two parts fiction — which would prove a very useful template for the promotion of subsequent colour revolutions to global audiences.
As marketing strategies revolve around hype, creating the buzz required a well-planned process that entailed building an online presence, using both established news channels and setting up new ones, increasing visibility on social media by recruiting influencers, bloggers, opinion leaders and last but not least celebrities.
Because taking part in a foreign-funded regime change is not as heroic as standing up for freedom, justice and democracy, these concepts are usually evoked to mobilize the masses: stripped of any potentially divisive ideological connotation (colour revolutions are inter-classist) they remain open to interpretation in order to ignite the imagination. If disembodied ideals alone don't spark a mass movement, then the media industry can easily produce cool role-models: Ukrainian pop star Ruslana Lyzhychko, conspicuously on the front line of protest, was compared by Newsweek to The Hunger Games' heroine, Katniss Everdeen. With a vague resemblance to the actress playing the fictional character, she was perfectly cast in the role of revolutionary icon.
Anyone can play a role in the Ukraine-ger Games and obtain recognition, be it thousand of 'likes' and followers on social media or an interview on CNN. No previous political experience required: the film trilogy provided a rich repertoire of visual themes and scripted lines that could be readily repurposed as agit prop material: "Ukraine is the 13th District in the Center of Europe. I appeal to you: Rise up!!! Demand sanctions for Ukraine right now!". The reference to the fictional 13th district wouldn't be lost on young audiences both at home and abroad, as they all consume the same global pop culture that colonizes their imaginary.
In 2014 this successful format made its appearance in Thailand and Hong Kong, where protesters adopted the three-finger salute alongside signs and slogans in English for the sake of global audiences. Although this salute dates back to the French Revolution, those who started using it in Hong Kong, Bangkok and Yangon knew it only as the Hunger Games' salute.
The Umbrella movement fizzled out but when a second colour revolution was attempted in 2019 the Hollywood franchise became a source of inspiration again. Hong Kong rioters shouted "laam chau", the Cantonese equivalent of the script line "If we burn, you burn with us", and used arrow bows, the film heroine's trademark weapon, erected huge bonfires, torched buildings and vehicles, threw hundreds of petrol bombs, set people on fire. These actions, rather than drawing condemnation, were glorified by foreign correspondents who seemed pleased that protesters were "channelling their inner Katniss". Photojournalists staged, framed and digitally edited images with dramatic light effects to foster emotional identification with the rebels to the extent that one could no longer tell whether these pictures were taken on a movie set or during a riot.Such spectacularization of protests should raise ethical questions about contemporary photojournalism but this is unlikely to happen when those who commmission and reward this work are actively marketing colour revolutions.
While protests are seen by those who take part in them as a vehicle for global recognition, we witness an erosion of the boundary between the Self and its reflection with narcissism, alienation and loss of identity as tragic by-products. When Hong Kong protesters proudly claim "We are not Chinese" we see a confirmation of this alienation. And when Joshua Wong, the poster boy of this inauthentic "Revolution of Our Times", declared "being famous is part of my job" in the Netflix production, Joshua:Teenager vs Superpower, we should pay attention because his words reveal not only an inflated sense of self importance, usually a telling tale of a narcissistic character, but also a peculiar type of political subjectivity that feeds on fame.
Availing himself of ghost writers for his books, featuring in US-funded docudramas, appearing on the cover of foreign magazines, spouting scripted slogans, it's hardly any surprise that Joshua Wong could reach international fame. By doing so unwittingly he revealed that the make-believe politics he is involved in have a lot in common with show business and its weaponization.

Q: Symfony2 nginx automatic logout I have a project in Symfony 2 (nginx, MySQL).
I looked at nginx access.log file and found something very interesting.
It appears that I get automatic route calling from my application.

One day, I drove slowly in such sleeping car in a small, but quite lively and busy French town. It was getting dark and I decided to turn on the lights. In front of the car, at a crossroads there was a family with a little boy. As soon as the lights crawled out, the little boy has been seriously frightened and went off into hysterics. I had to deal with his angry parents. I've just remembered this incident and decided to show you that sleeping cars are not as scary when you wake up.

Q: How do I determine means of image blocks using opencv histogram I'd like to determine the mean block of my image using histogram. Let's say my image has 64 by 64 dimension, I need to divide it into 4 by 4 block then determine each block mean (in other word  now I will have 4 blocks).
Using opencv, How do I can utilize my IplImage to determine block mean using histogram bins?
The code below is opencv histogram in order to determine whole image mean:
int i, hist_size = 256;
float max_value,min_value;
float min_idx,max_idx;
float bin_w;
float mean =0, low_mean =0, high_mean =0, variance =0;

float range_0[]={0,256};
float *ranges[]={range_0};

IplImage* im = cvLoadImage("killerbee.jpg");
//Create a single planed image of the same size as the original
IplImage* grayImage = cvCreateImage(cvSize(im->width,im->height),IPL_DEPTH_8U, 1);
//convert the original image to gray
cvCvtColor(im, grayImage, CV_BGR2GRAY);

/* Remark this, since wanna evaluate whole area.
    //create a rectangular area to evaluate
    CvRect rect = cvRect(0, 0, 500, 600 );
    //apply the rectangle to the image and establish a region of interest
    cvSetImageROI(grayImage, rect);
End remark*/

//create an image to hold the histogram
IplImage* histImage = cvCreateImage(cvSize(320,200), 8, 1);
//create a histogram to store the information from the image
CvHistogram* hist = cvCreateHist(1, &hist_size, CV_HIST_ARRAY, ranges, 1);
//calculate the histogram and apply to hist
cvCalcHist( &grayImage, hist, 0, NULL );

//grab the min and max values and their indeces
cvGetMinMaxHistValue( hist, &min_value, &max_value, 0, 0);
//scale the bin values so that they will fit in the image representation
cvScale( hist->bins, hist->bins, ((double)histImage->height)/max_value, 0 );

//set all histogram values to 255
cvSet( histImage, cvScalarAll(255), 0 );
//create a factor for scaling along the width
bin_w = cvRound((double)histImage->width/hist_size);

for( i = 0; i < hist_size; i++ ) {
    //draw the histogram data onto the histogram image
    cvRectangle( histImage, cvPoint(i*bin_w, histImage->height),cvPoint((i+1)*bin_w,histImage->height - cvRound(cvGetReal1D(hist->bins,i))),cvScalarAll(0), -1, 8, 0 );
    //get the value at the current histogram bucket
    float* bins = cvGetHistValue_1D(hist,i);
    //increment the mean value
    mean += bins[0];
}
//finish mean calculation
mean /= hist_size;

//display mean value onto output window
cout<<"MEAN VALUE of THIS IMAGE : "<<mean<<"\n";

//go back through now that mean has been calculated in order to calculate variance
for( i = 0; i < hist_size; i++ ) {
    float* bins = cvGetHistValue_1D(hist,i);
    variance += pow((bins[0] - mean),2);
}
//finish variance calculation
variance /= hist_size;
cvNamedWindow("Original", 0);
cvShowImage("Original", im );

cvNamedWindow("Gray", 0);
cvShowImage("Gray", grayImage );

cvNamedWindow("Histogram", 0);
cvShowImage("Histogram", histImage );

//hold the images until a key is pressed
cvWaitKey(0);

//clean up images
cvReleaseImage(&histImage);
cvReleaseImage(&grayImage);
cvReleaseImage(&im);

//remove windows
cvDestroyWindow("Original");
cvDestroyWindow("Gray");
cvDestroyWindow("Histogram");

Really thanks in advance.

A: You can do that by histograms, but a much more effective way to do it is an integral image, which does almost what you want.
Read here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summed_area_table and then use it to calculate the sum of all the pixels in every block. Then divide by the number of pixels in each block (4x4=16). Isn't it nice?
OpenCV has a function to calculate the integral image, with the difficult name cv::integral()
And an even easier way to do it is the humble resize().
Call resize(image64_64, image_16_16, Size(16, 16), INTER_AREA), and the result will be a smaller image whose pixel values have exactly the values you're looking for. Isn't it great?
Just do not forget the INTER_AREA flag. It determines the correct algorithm to be used.

When buying appliances, we only get to see the outer shell of the electronic equipment that we paid for. We check on its features and service warranty. Unless its casing breaks, we do not get to actually see the interior of our television set including its circuit boards, electrical connections and wiring. After a more thorough check, it is only then that we realize that out television set consists of valuable and toxic components.
Most, it not all of the electric equipment that we own contain lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, copper, beryllium, barium, chromium, nickel, zinc, silver and gold. Most of these elements can be found in the circuit boards and the appliance's electrical parts like its computer chips, wiring and monitor. Electrical products also contain flame retardants that are hazardous to health. Arsenic exposure can result to cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes. Cadmium affects the body's ability to consume calcium resulting to the weakening of the bones.

After seeing some awesome DIY costumes that other children were wearing on Halloween last year, I decided to give it a try and make one for my 5 year old son to wear this year. There's something about homemade costumes that I love. They're so much more special than any store bought costume. I'm also sick of spending a fortune on costumes that are made poorly with cheap materials.
Anyway, when I asked my son what he wanted to be and he said Marshall from Paw Patrol. I just finished making my Paw Patrol child costume and it turned out better than I had hoped it would!
To make it I used a white sweatsuit, a red fleece vest, yellow duct tape, felt, peel & stick fabric fuse, Marshall's fireman's hat (from a Spirit Halloween store), and Paw Patrol water squirting backpack (from Walmart).
Then not long after I finished the Marshall costume I came across a picture of a Paw Patrol firetruck costume that someone made and I fell in love with it! So I decided to give it a go and make my son the Paw Patrol firetruck costume as well to wear over the Marshall costume I already made. The firetruck I made is quite different than the one in the picture I found. I just used that picture for inspiration and did my own thing.
I went online and found an image of the firetruck on the Paw Patrol show and used it as my guide. It turned out great and I can't wait to see my son wearing it on Halloween! I used foam board hot glued together for the body and spray painted it red. I also used foam board to make the ladder, the windshield, and the wheels. For all the details on the outside of the truck I used poster board and craft foam.
It took several hours to make, but it was worth it because it turned out so cute!

Last year, Prophets of Rage released their debut EP,The Party's Over, and hit the road together for the very first time. Now, the mighty political supergroup comprised of members of Rage Against the Machine, Public Enemy, and Cypress Hill is readying its first full-length album.
Due out September 15th, the self-titled record spans 12 tracks, including titles like "Radical Eyes", "Legalize Me", "Hail to the Chief", "Strength in Numbers", and "Who Owns Who". Prophets of Rage were joined in the studio by veteran producer Brendan O'Brien (Pearl Jam, AC/DC, RATM).
As a first look at the LP, the band has let loose its lead single, "Unfuck the World". The raucous number also comes accompanied by its music video, which was helmed by renowned director Michael Moore. As to be expected from the politically-charged Prophets of Rage and Moore, the clip features plenty of footage of Trump, protests, drone strikes, the Flint water plant, and yes, even that one Pepsi ad.
Check out the video below, followed by the album's artwork (created by Shepard Fairey) and full tracklist.

Critics Push US to Help Europe by Taking More Refugees
BY :BILL TROTT AND MATT SPETALNICK
Washington. The United States came under more pressure on Sunday to help Europe find sanctuary for a flood of immigrants displaced by war and chaos, but Washington showed no signs of planning a dramatic increase in its intake of refugees.
David Miliband, head of the International Rescue Committee and former British foreign secretary, called on the United States to bring out "the kind of leadership America has shown on these kind of issues" in the past.
"The United States has always been a leader in refugee resettlement but 1,500 people over four years is such a miniscule contribution to tackling the human side of this problem," Miliband said on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos."
State Department spokesman John Kirby, in an interview with Reuters late on Saturday, offered no indication the United States would be greatly boosting the number of immigrants it would allow into the country. He cited the $4 billion US contribution to refugee relief and reconfirmed the Obama administration's position about security concerns.
"There is a significant vetting process here for folks from Syria that we have to follow," he said, adding that the Obama administration had been in contact with European allies and was exploring options.
US authorities want to prevent militants from Islamic State or al Qaeda from slipping into the country as refugees.
But there are risks to sticking to current policy and not playing a more active role in helping Europe. Another US official, speaking on condition of anonymity, acknowledged that, given the graphic images of the refugees' plight, Washington may face an international image problem for admitting only a small number compared to European countries.
Melissa Fleming, spokeswoman for the UN High Commissioner on Refugees, said the United States had not put a quota on the number of refugees it would accept. She said the UNHCR had submitted almost 16,300 refugees for resettlement in the United States and would continue submitting cases for consideration.
'Fundamentally falls on Europe'
Europe has been operating without a consensus on what do with the flood of refugees.
Austria and Germany, which expects to receive 800,000 refugees and migrants this year, have opened their borders in recent days to thousands of mostly Syrian refugees who had been stranded in Hungary. Pope Francis on Sunday called on every Catholic parish and religious community in Europe to take in at least one refugee family.
Since the Syrian conflict began in early 2011, the United States has taken in 1,500 refugees from there, the vast majority this year. Kirby said as many as 1,500 more refugees could be admitted by the end of 2015 and maybe more next year.
Immigration has become a major issue in the campaign leading up to the 2016 presidential election. Billionaire businessman Donald Trump has risen to the top of the Republican field with a hardline stance calling for deportation of undocumented migrants and a wall along the US-Mexico border, but said last week he would consider allowing Syrians into the United States.
Another Republican presidential candidate, John Kasich, also appearing on ABC's "This Week," said he favored a somewhat enhanced US role with the refugees but that the situation was not primarily a Washington problem.
"I think we do have a responsibility in terms of taking some more folks in, making sure they assimilate," he said. "This is fundamentally an issue Europe has to come to grips with. We can provide some humanitarian aid to them."
Writing in the New York Times, Michael Ignatieff, a former leader of Canada's Liberal Party and now a professor at the Harvard Kennedy School, said the United States, Canada and Middle East nations were wrong to consider the crisis as Europe's problem.
The United States and its allies have a responsibility to the Syrian refugees — estimated at 4 million since civil war began in their homeland — since they are arming Syrian rebels and fighting Islamic State in the country, he said.
"Blaming the Europeans is an alibi and the rest of our excuses — like the refugees don't have the right papers — are sickening," Ignatieff wrote.
He called on the United States and Canada to take in a minimum of 25,000 Syrians and said pressure on those governments may intensify after publication in the past week of dramatic photographs of the refugees' plight.
