Interview by Davide Sciaky
Hi Brian, how are you doing?
Good, thank you.
We are about halfway through this tour, how has it been so far?
Good, good, good.
All shows have been excellent, it's been a little bit colder than we were expecting, but it's been a lot of fun.
The bands, the crews, the fans, everybody showing up and having a good time and it's been a great experience so far.
The last time you played here in Milan it was at a much smaller venue, is Italy the only place where you've grown so much or is the same in other countries?
Some countries it's really grown a lot quicker, in other countries it's been a slower climb, but in each city, each time we come back it seems to grow a little bit.
The UK, Italy, Germany are all really good markets for us, but we just kinda continue to do what we do and see growth, and try to reach as many people as we can on the road and it's a slow grind in some spots, but then in others people really seem to attach to us and come out more.
So, you weren't really surprised when you ended up playing bigger places this time around.
We spent a lot of time coming to Italy, we've been coming here pretty steadily for going on 16 years.
It's nice to come to Italy, we are very excited to be here, we were talking about it last night, about coming from Switzerland to Italy and how cool it's gonna be today.
As soon as we walked in it was like, "Yeah, alright!", I wish we could play this show every night! [Laughs] It's exciting!
Let's talk your new album, "Walk the Sky", which was released about a month and half ago. It charted amazingly, in the UK it was 1st in the independent, and in the Metal and Hard Rock categories, 4th in the overall chart, 1st in Swizerland, 5th in Germany, 1st in the Top Rock category on Billboard in the States. You've always received very nice accolades, but it seems that with every new album you're doing better. Does this put pressure on you when you start working on a new album, do you feel a sort of competition with the previous one, "I have to top that"?
Yeah, we've always kinda felt that way even since the beginning, going back to "One Day Remains" and then "Blackbird", especially, we had a lot of time between "One Day Remains" and "Blackbird" and that album is a fan-favourite, and is a band-favourite as well, and I think going into the third record we really felt that pressure, but I think now, on our sixth album, we just kind of… you know, things are done a little bit differently, Mark and Myles go away and they are doing their solo projects and they bring in material. We use Dropbox to familiarise with it and then when the pre-production starts we go in the re-writing process and that's when we all sit down together, really play through all the material and see what really hits on for us.
Speaking about the release, we are really proud of all our team, all the work that went in through the record label, our management and everybody that's been on the whole side of the release putting things out there on the internet, the tracks that we released prior to the album being released to give a taste to the fans.
The big trick in this day and age is trying to keep it from being leaked [laughs] because once you get the master, final recording's done and it's all of us listening to it, then the label has it, they have have the masters and that's already a lot of people.
There was one song that was leaked that we were able to kinda cover up and make it look like it was a track that we were releasing, but it really wasn't [laughs].
We put together a video real quick, overnight, it was 'Take the Crown'? No, wait, it was 'Pay No Mind', I don't think it was even scheduled to be released, but somehow it leaked, we still don't know exactly WHO it was… but that's the big trick in it all.
Overall we're super proud of the record, it seems that the fans are really enjoying it, and we're enjoying playing it live; we're playing 4-5 new songs a night on this tour, so it's fine and fresh for us.
The cover up thing is amazing, I've never heard of any band pulling a trick like that.
Yeah, we got a text that morning that it got out, I guess it was on the Dark Web or something, and we were like, "Oh God, it leaked! What should we do?", so we said, "Let's release it now, we'll put together a lyric video and we'll make it look like we planned it".
You mentioned the songwriting: do you have a fixed songwriting process, or do you like to change things up from one album to the other?
It's always been different, especially since everybody is doing it in different parts of the world, doing their other respected projects, Tremonti and Myles with Slash, and he's also doing his solo project.
Today, in Alter Bridge world, ideas are always flowing, but like I said it changed a little bit; I think "The Last Hero" was written while we were actually all in the same room together, Mark and Myles would come and go together away and then the next morning we would bring that material in and we would play it.
This record was written over the course of a year or so, we had a Dropbox to familiarise with the material, there were 12 to 15 ideas that were there, none of them were completely complete, but a lot of them were 50% done, just a verse-chorus idea, and then we would all get together and the final product would eventually come out. We would play it together, as we always do, and that's when the music takes its shape.
You were saying that you are playing four or five new songs: the album is quite long, fourteen songs, are you planning to play more songs in the future?
Yeah, I think eventually we will, we've tossed around that idea here, if we want to bring in more new material.
I think that right now, with it being so fresh and new to the fanbase and to ourselves, it's a little bit much to take on, I think we are comfortable with alternating songs in an out.
We have probably six or seven that we are comfortable playing live and that the fans want to hear live, and we rotate each night doing something different.
Last year Myles released his debut solo album, an acoustic album. Have you discussed the idea of making an acoustic album, or even just an EP, with Alter Bridge as well?
Personally? I've got some things in the works, but finding time for it might be a little tricky, we got a lot of things that are happening next year and even the following years, so trying to find time to be with family, and take care of things at home too, that's an important part of everyone's life, really.
But, I mean, there are some ideas that I've been throwing around, I'm actually thinking about starting a little country band [laughs].
There's some material out there right now that I'm working with my singer and my guitar player, so we're starting to piece together some ideas.
That was actually something that I wanted to ask you about, everyone is getting their solo band, so I was wondering if you had thought of doing something.
Yeah, I mean, I think it's more just an outlet for me, I'm not really considering it to be something enormous, obviously I'd be lying if I said I didn't want it to be that, but, you know, I like Country music, it makes me feel good, and we'll see what happens.
Certainly in the future.
We talked about how well your album charted, do you think Rock and Metal are in a good place today, in 2019?
I do, but I'm surrounded by it all day.
The people that I'm in close contact with, that I call "my circle", Rock is very much alive.
If you get in somebody else's circle they might be into something else, but, I mean, this is living proof that Rock is still alive and kicking, I mean, we are playing in a arena in Milan, so it proofs positive.
Talking about Rock and Metal today, a couple of days ago Slayer played their last show. They are just the last of a number of bands that are calling it quit in the past few years. How does it feel to see those big bands, bands so influential to Metal, go?
I don't think it's Slayer's last show.
They said it is, they might take a little break, but I guarantee you in about 3 or 4 years Kerry King is gonna get an itch, and he's gonna get out there and play those Slayer songs, so we'll see.
It does seem to be happening, like, look at the Mötley Crüe, case in point, they signed a contract and now they're about to embark on another huge tour so, you know, it's really cool that band have really stood the test of time, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Kiss, Metallica, Megadeth, they're still out there, they've been around since I was in grade school.
They're still out there doing it, and I respect that, and I hope that they continue to do what they do for as long as they can possibly do it.
We're now in the period of transition where old legendary bands are retiring, maybe not Slayer but other certainly are, and we're waiting to see who's gonna take their place. Do you think Alter Bridge could do it?
Time will tell, we're not really replacing anybody, we're just gonna keep doing what we're doing and enjoying what we're doing.
When those slots become available I would hope that we would be a selection for it, time will tell and we will keep plugging along.
Well, at least in Italy, this arena where you're playing today, Metallica and Iron Maiden played here in the past, so it seems like you're pretty much there.
Alright, yeah!
Other than Alter Bridge, are there any other band that you put your eyes on, that you think might get there?
There are a lot of up and coming acts that I have seen recently that kinda cut my ear, Dirty Honey is one that we toured with in the States and I got big expectations from them, they have released a song, and they aren't even signed by a major label and they got to number 1 in the Rock charts in the States and that's pretty cool.
I'm a big Rush fan, you know… the only band that I feel are actually retired, because Neil Peart has, I don't think he's making a comeback, I think he's done, so that's the only band that I feel has really retired, but IF they did a comeback I'd be all for it because they are my [makes explosion sound].
Black Stone Cherry are a great band, good friends of ours… Gojira are amazing, I think they putting out a new record and they're putting their stamp on the Metal scene, people want to see them, want to hear them and they got a great thing going.

Q: Cannot retrieve first elements of hash containing temp files I have a hash made of files that I get from a multipart file (that i get through dropzone.js):
uploaded_pics = params[:file]

Then i determine the numer of allowed pics that the user can upload represented by availableimages which is an integer.
Lastly i try to get the first allowed elements of hash with the following bits by retrieving the first availableimages of hash uploaded_pics:
 selectedpics = p Hash[uploaded_pics.sort_by { |k,v| -v }[0..availableimages]]
 selectedpics = p uploaded_pics.first(availableimages).to_h
 selectedpics = Hash[uploaded_pics.to_a[1..availableimages]]
 selectedpics = uploaded_pics.keys.sort[1..availableimages].each { |key| puts "#{key} #{hash[key]}" }
 selectedpics = uploaded_pics.first(5)

But all fail.
I think some of these attempts try to convert the hash into an array; which is not possible as the hash elements are not simple integers but files. Some fail for other reasons (conversions to_a etc....)
I will do the test on the client side, but I would like to do the test on the controller side too! then I need a method to pick only the n first elements of a hash, and keep the pairs untouched ...
EDIT
Not sure if this helps, but here is the hash returned by params:[file] when i try to upload two random file :
    <ActionController::Parameters
{"0"=>#<ActionDispatch::Http::UploadedFile:0x13ca7678 @tempfile=#<Tempfile:C:/Users/Maxence/AppData/Local/Temp/RackMultipart20170616-8024-ks1b8u.jpg>, @original_filename="4.jpg", @content_type="image/jpeg", @headers="Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"file[0]\"; filename=\"4.jpg\"\r\nContent-Type: image/jpeg\r\n">,
"1"=>#<ActionDispatch::Http::UploadedFile:0x13ca7648 @tempfile=#<Tempfile:C:/Users/Maxence/AppData/Local/Temp/RackMultipart20170616-8024-1ut7trw.jpg>, @original_filename="4.jpg", @content_type="image/jpeg", @headers="Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"file[1]\"; filename=\"4.jpg\"\r\nContent-Type: image/jpeg\r\n">} permitted: false>

A: This should work.
n_keys = uploaded_pics.keys.first(availableimages)
filtered_pics = uploaded_pics.slice(*n_keys)

A: Don't use p while assigning to a variable,
selectedpics = Hash[uploaded_pics.sort_by { |k,v| -v }[0..availableimages]]
selectedpics = uploaded_pics.first(availableimages).to_h
selectedpics = Hash[uploaded_pics.to_a[1..availableimages]]
selectedpics = uploaded_pics.keys.sort[1..availableimages].each { |key| puts "#{key} #{hash[key]}" }
selectedpics = uploaded_pics.first(5)

Ehrl, Denis C.; Heidekrüger, Paul I.; Brör, P. Niclas (2018): Pyoderma gangrenosum after breast surgery: A systematic review. In: Journal of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Vol. 71, No. 7: pp. 1023-1032
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bjps.2018.03.013
Background: Post-surgical pyoderma gangrenosum (PSPG) is a rare inflammatory skin disorder of unknown aetiology. Given its similar presentation to wound infection and lack of reliable diagnostic tests as well as pathognomonic clinical features, PSPG is difficult to diagnose. The aim of this review was to identify factors contributing to PSPG to aid with timely diagnosis and appropriate therapy. Methods: A systematic literature review was performed by following PRISMA guidelines, focusing on PSPG after reconstructive and aesthetic breast surgery. The online databases PubMed, Medline, EMBASE, Scopus, and Cochrane were used, and additionally, a Google (c) search was performed. Results: A total of 68 articles describing 87 cases of PSPG following aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery were found. The majority of PSPG (44%) occurred after breast reduction surgery and microsurgical breast reconstruction (16%). The most common associated conditions were malignancies in 37% and autoimmune deficiencies in 17%. Microbiological examinations were found to have a negative result in 90%. The median time from initial presentation with symptoms to correct diagnosis of PG was on average 12.5 days, with unsuccessful first-line therapy on average for 20.0 days. After the diagnosis of PG, medical therapy most commonly involved steroids in 84% and/or Cyclosporine A in 22% of the cases. On average, the duration of this therapy was 4.7 months. Conclusion: The diagnosis of PSPG remains a challenging issue. However, according to the presented review, several distinct clinical signs in combination with lack of treatment response should prompt further investigation to promote timely diagnosis and correct treatment of this potentially debilitating disease.

Huawei Kunpeng 920 ARM CPUs aim for the clouds, big data
JC Torres | Jan 6, 2019
Last year, Huawei quickly rose to the top in the smartphone market and its Kirin mobile processors have started gaining traction and believers. Unlike Samsung with its Exynos processors, however, Huawei is quick to seize the opportunity and capitalize on its newfound fame. Just in time for CES 2019, the Chinese OEM is announcing its entry into the high-performance ARM-based CPU market with the goal of powering what it calls the fast-growing "intelligent society".
Helm personal email server promises perfect privacy
Chris Davies | Oct 17, 2018
You don't have to be a politician or a celebrity to worry about email privacy these days, but if you're starting to eye your Gmail account with suspicion, startup Helm thinks it has the answer. The company's personal email server may look like a router, but in fact it's a standalone hub for your messages that puts security to the fore.
These 2 lists show how Google and Amazon own our daily lives
Chris Burns | Jul 17, 2018
Today we're taking a brief, momentary, tiny peek at a couple of lists that show how Google and Amazon own our daily lives. When I say "daily lives" I don't mean Google and Amazon own our bodies and control our actions and have all of our personal information stored safely on their many hard drives - but two out of three ain't bad. I'm referring instead to the servers Google and Amazon run, the servers on which many or most of the services we use every day rely on and run.
This iMac Pro server rack is both beautiful and powerful
Chris Davies | Jun 2, 2018
With the iMac Pro potent enough to embarrass the Mac Pro - and Apple's "trash can" computer not likely to see an update until next year - one company has taken the obvious next step and harnessed multiple all-in-ones into a server farm. MacStadium made headlines back in 2013 with its unusual rack-mounted Mac Pro arrays, demonstrating that just because Apple's form-factor is atypical, that doesn't mean it couldn't be chained together for some seriously heavy workloads.
Here's how Intel's Spectre and Meltdown patch affects server CPUs
Eric Abent | Jan 18, 2018
Last week, Intel shared initial benchmarks for its Spectre and Meltdown patch for recent consumer-focused Core i7 CPUs. Those benchmarks showed us the average performance hit we could expect when doing various tasks, with some tasks suffering a larger performance drop than others. Looking at the new benchmarks Intel shared today, the same is true on the data center side of things.
Minecraft Servers Halloween begins with spooky details!
Chris Burns | Oct 13, 2017
This week the folks in charge of Mincecraft Servers have revealed the Halloween Spectacular in full. This event will pour over the online version of Minecraft, taking over the Minecraft Servers universe as it does so. This update will have spooky effects in servers hosted by Mineplex, InPvP, and Lifeboat from now until Halloween.
Facebook shares rare photos of Arctic data center
JC Torres | Sep 29, 2016
When your business involves connecting millions of people around the world, not to mentions their photos and cat videos, you're going to need small amount of server for processing, which generates no small amount of heat, which requires no small amount of cooling. Keeping servers from overheating is one of the biggest recurring costs of data centers and companies like Facebook. In order to be smart about that cooling system and also reduce its carbon footprint, Facebook has instead put to use Mother Nature's biggest air conditioning unit: the Arctic Circle.
Pokemon GO server status is down, but also up
How can Pokemon GO be down, but also up at the same time? Pokemon GO is a multi-tiered system, one in which more than one level of log-on and play is included. Today users have found several problems occurring at different times. Earlier today is was a bit of down time on the main server - high latency and inability to see Pokemon and/or Gyms and PokeStops. That down time seems to be fading, while a different down situation seems to be rising up.
Microsoft bringing SQL database software to Linux
JC Torres | Mar 8, 2016
To some, it might be another sign of an evil corporation turning over a new leaf. To others, it could be a plot to undermine its enemies. Both sides would probably agree it's another cold day in hell. Microsoft has just revealed its plans to brings its SQL Server database software to Linux. Although not exactly its first Linux software, SQL Server is the most significant one so far. The irony of the situation is that, at least in Microsoft's past, the company looked down upon Linux, and open source in general, going as far as calling the OS a cancer.
Google tipped to endorse Qualcomm's server chips over Intel
JC Torres | Feb 5, 2016
Intel's server business, which is currently its strongest business, might soon be shaken up. And not directly by a rival chip maker. Instead, it will be Google's expected endorsement next week that could spell trouble for Intel. According to insider sources, Google, who is considered to be the world's biggest buyer of server processors, will be publicly singing of Qualcomm's server chips at an investor event next week. Qualcomm, who already poses a threat to Intel because of its dominance in the mobile market, could soon be eating a huge chunk of Intel's server pie as well.
Ocean is a phone-size Linux server that runs on batteries
Shane McGlaun | Jan 15, 2016
Servers are typically large machines that take up huge amounts of space on the floor or lots of space in a rack. A new Node.js Linux server has launched for developers who want to be able to write software for Internet of Things applications and other tasks that is very small. The server is called Ocean and it is about the size of a smartphone.
AMD starts shipping "Seattle" ARM server chips
JC Torres | Jan 14, 2016
AMD is best known for its rivalry with Intel in processors, almost all of which are based on the x86 and x64 CPU architecture. But as early as 2012, the chip maker publicly revealed how it was playing around with ARM chips to use in its line of processors for servers. The time for playing is apparently over, as AMD has started shipping the A1100, the first of its ARM-based Opteron A series designed for data centers. And its purpose is no secret either: to undermine Intel's reign in the server market.

The 2010–11 season of Parma F.C. was Parma's 20th season and 2nd consecutive season in Serie A, having finished in 8th position in the previous season. The club was embroiled in a relegation dogfight for much of the season, but managed to secure their place in Serie A for the following year on 8 May with two games to spare. As well as competing in Serie A as one of twenty teams, Parma took part in the 2010–11 edition of the Coppa Italia but were eliminated by Palermo at the quarter-final stage. Parma started the season with a new head coach after Francesco Guidolin resigned from the post in late May as he was appointed by Udinese. His successor, Pasquale Marino, who was also Guidolin's predecessor at Udinese, was announced as head coach on 2 June 2010, but was sacked with seven games of the season left on 3 April 2011. He was replaced by Franco Colomba two days later. Colomba's arrival brought about a dramatic improvement in results and led to what turned out to be comfortably achieved safety.

Serie A

Summary
Without injured Daniele Galloppa, who was ruled out until the new year, Parma opened their season on the last Sunday of August with 2–0 victory over newly promoted Brescia. Valeri Bojinov opened the scoring after just ten minutes when, having played a short pass to débutant Sebastian Giovinco on the edge of the box, was returned the ball after a chipped Giovinco ball over the defence, which beat the offside trap and left the previous season's top scorer Bojinov through on goal. The second goal came on the stroke of half-time through Stefano Morrone, who was left a simple tap-in after a far post header from Alessandro Lucarelli off a lofted free-kick set him up. Parma's second league game of the season involved a trip off the mainland to Catania, where a goal in either half saw off Parma's challenge despite a late goal from Giovinco, but the match ended in regrettable style as Lucarelli was given his marching orders for a second yellow card. Parma then secured consecutive 1–1 draws, first at home to Genoa and then away to Lecce, in very similar fashion as the opposition took the lead through a first-half penalty before Parma drew level halfway through the second half. Two difficult games – away to Fiorentina and at home to A.C. Milan – ended in defeat as Parma slipped into the relegation zone with two- and one-goal reverses respectively, the latter after a spectacular 30-yard strike from Andrea Pirlo. Remarkably, Parma gave away a penalty for four consecutive matches before the run was ended against Milan. Parma went rock-bottom in Serie A after their seventh league game and a 1–1 draw against Cesena as Cristian Zaccardo scored his second league goal of the season, despite having the better of the match. Consecutive goalless draws at home to Roma and Chievo lifted the club out of the relegation zone but prompted sporting director Pietro Leonardi to offer public support to head coach Pasquale Marino. Bizarrely, in the lead-up to the Roma match on 24 October, Parma's fans protested against the lunchtime kick-off by the simultaneous consumption of sandwiches.

Parma then slipped back to eighteenth position after an Edinson Cavani brace saw Napoli comfortably overcome a Parma side without a win since the opening day of the season, which led to president Tommaso Ghirardi demanding improvement. Parma then beat Sampdoria at home in thick fog and A.S. Bari away by a solitary goal to nil to shoot up to fourteenth position and ease pressure on Marino, the latter including a wonderful goal from Antonio Candreva. Parma secured a respectable draw at home to early season pace-setters Lazio the next week as ex-Lazio star Hernán Crespo opened the scoring for Parma, netting his 65th league goal for the club, before Luca Antonelli's own goal cancelled it out on the stroke of half-time. Next up were reigning champions Internazionale who beat Parma by five goals to two, overcoming an early Hernán Crespo brace, who was again scoring against former employers. The Argentinian striker was again on the scoresheet the following week as former manager Francesco Guidolin returned to Il Tardini for the first time since his summer departure, opening the scoring from the penalty spot with 24 minutes played before Udinese's Antonio Di Natale equalised 11 minutes later. Crespo then put his team back in front for good early in the second half as Parma won 2-1 and scoring his 150th Serie goal. The following week, Parma travelled to Palermo and took the lead inside ten minutes as Alessandro Lucarelli found the net. Parma then surrendered their lead and three second half goals from the Rosanero were enough to see Parma off and the match finished 3–1. The Ducali rounded off their pre-Christmas schedule with home match against rivals Bologna, who proved to be stubborn opposition in a goalless draw.

Parma started 2011 in perfect fashion, overcoming biggest rivals Juventus away from home by a scoreline of four goals to one in the Turin club's first sell-out of the season. Juventus' Felipe Melo was sent off early on before two goals from Juve loanee Giovinco, a penalty from Crespo and a late goal from new signing (co-owned by Juve) Raffaele Palladino were bisected by a Legrottaglie header. A disappointing result followed as Parma succumbed to a home defeat, conceding goals five and six of the season at home as they went down by two goals to one to Cagliari. Long-serving defender Massimo Paci was given his marching orders in the first half of the following match away to Brescia as Parma lost by two goals to nil. After two straight defeats, Parma then returned to winning ways with a two-nil victory over Catania after second half goals from Candreva and Giovinco within minutes of each other. Two straight defeats followed, firstly 3–1 away to Genoa, whom Parma helped to their first home win since November as an early penalty was cancelled out by a Crespo strike, but atoned for by a Paletta own goal and a close-range Kaladze goal on the stroke of half-time, and secondly 1–0 at home to fellow strugglers Lecce at the start of February in a match which Parma dominated but lost in injury time. The losing run was halted the next week as Parma hosted Fiorentina and a first goal for winter transfer window loan signing Amauri scored. His goal was cancelled out by a second half penalty and the match ended one apiece. Parma were then handed a four-nil thrashing by league leaders Milan, extending Parma's winless streak to four matches Parma's next match was a relegation dogfight against Cesena. In an eventful ninety minutes, Parma came from behind twice to draw the match two-all. Parma then travelled to the Stadio Olimpico to face Roma and gave away a penalty and a goal from a corner to trail by two goals at half-time. A second-half Amauri brace saw Parma level the scoreline and the match finished 2–2. As pressure grew on head coach Pasquale Marino, a third consecutive draw followed; this time it a goalless draw away to Chievo. Gabriel Paletta was sent off late in the second half in an otherwise uneventful affair.

Parma's dismal winless run extended to 8 games as they lost to Napoli by three goals to one. Parma opened the scoring through Raffaele Palladino, but Napoli hit back with three goals in a second half that yet again saw a Parma player sent off; this time it was Daniele Galloppa. Parma finally ended their winless streak and boosted their survival chances on 20 March 2011, overcoming fellow relegation battlers Sampdoria with a solitary goal midway through the second half. The following week, a 2–1 defeat at home to Bari in a match that Parma dominated was enough to see head coach Pasquale Marino lose his job with Parma two points clear of the relegation zone. He was replaced by Franco Colomba, who was signed on a 14-month deal and had been out of a job since the previous summer, two days later. Colomba's first match in charge, a tricky trip to Rome to face Champions League qualification-chasing Lazio ended in defeat by two goals to nil, a goal coming in each half. On 16 April, national and continental and world champions Internazionale paid a visit to the Tardini, as Parma recorded a historic two-goal victory with goals from Juventus loanees Giovinco and Amauri. The next week, a second consecutive 2–0 win – their first in Udine since 2001 – over ten-man Udinese thanks to two Amauri goals boosted Parma's chances of salvation, but other relegation candidates' result meant the club remained just three points clear of the relegation zone. Parma faced Europe-chasing Palermo on 1 May and recorded yet another win at home. Two early first-half goals saw Parma lead 2–0 before a second half Palermo goal put Parma on edge. Two minutes from time, Antonio Candreva restored Parma's two-goal lead and confirmed Parma's first three-game winning streak of the season. Six points clear of the relegation zone with just three games remaining, Parma looked to have secured their participation in Serie A for the following season. Parma then travelled to meet Bologna in the Emilian Derby the following weekend, with both sides knowing that three points would secure their Serie A status for the season to come. The match ended goalless and results in other matches meant that relegation could not be ruled out at the final whistle, but a late goal in a later game saw Genoa defeat Sampdoria in the Derby della Lanterna, confirming Parma's place in next year's Serie A. Parma celebrated their safety in style in the Stadio Ennio Tardini the week after with a win over injury-hit bitterest rivals Juventus, the only goal of the game coming from the man on loan from Juventus, Sebastian Giovinco, who had scored two goals in the reverse fixture and secured Colomba's fourth win in six games. The season ended in a low-key affair away to Cagliari. Valeri Bojinov opened the scoring for Parma before a Rolf Feltscher own goal levelled the scoreline, as Parma finished the league season in twelfth position.

Coppa Italia

Summary
Parma entered the competition at the Round of 16 as the rules of the tournament dictated that, alongside those teams which qualified for Europe for the 2010–11 season, the highest finisher in Serie A who failed to qualify for European football would begin competing at that advanced stage. As the entirety of the tournament is pre-drawn, Parma knew the identity of the ten teams that would fight for the right to play away at the Ennio Tardini in the Round of 16 in the first four preliminary rounds. These were Santegidiese, Trapani, AlzanoCene, Reggiana, SPAL, Alessandria, all of whom competed from the First Round; Reggina, Frosinone, Empoli, all of whom competed from the Second Round; and Fiorentina, who competed from the Third Round. It transpired that Fiorentina – the only Serie A team in the section – emerged as Parma's opponents. The match remained goalless for 114 minutes until Fiorentina broke the deadlock through Mario Santana. Crespo equalised for Parma just a minute later and then scored another three minutes from time to take Parma through to the quarter-finals, where they faced Palermo away from home in the last week of January. The sides played out 120 minutes of goalless football before Palermo emerged victorious in a penalty shoot-out as Francesco Valiani missed the decisive penalty.

Transfers
Parma's first major moves of the summer transfer window came in quick succession, signing previous season loanee and striker Valeri Bojinov from Manchester City, who revealed he had turned down an approach from Sevilla, and central defender Gabriel Paletta from Boca Juniors in the space of two days. Spaniard Fernando Marqués also arrived for an undisclosed fee from Espanyol. Midfielders Sebastian Giovinco and Massimo Gobbi both signed for Parma at the start of August on a loan deal from Juventus and on a free transfer from Fiorentina respectively, as did Danilo Pereira from Benfica. Journeyman forward Cristiano Lucarelli signed on loan for Napoli after he was told he was surplus to requirements at Parma, while experienced defender Christian Panucci retired at the age of thirty-seven. Parma ended the transfer window by signing Italian World Cup squad member Antonio Candreva on loan from Udinese for the duration of the season.

Business in the winter transfer window started early as full ownership of Italian international left-back Luca Antonelli and Parma's half-share in Alberto Paloschi were both transferred to Genoa. In return Genoa paid €7 million and exchanged the full ownership of Francesco Modesto and Genoa's share in Raffaele Palladino, who remained co-owned by Juventus. Parma also completed the loan signing of Toni Calvo from Greek UEFA Europa League entrants Aris with an option to make the move permanent in the summer. On deadline day, Parma signed Italian international Amauri from rivals Juventus on loan until the end of the season.

On 2 July 2010, the FIGC announced only one new non-EU signing from abroad could be registered, instead of two in previous season. They are marked yellow.

ABOUT THE BLACK COLLEGE FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME

There have been over 100 Inductees since inception, including Mel Blount, James Harris, Willie Lanier, Art Shell and Doug Williams, who serve as Trustees.


the movie's 1630s setting makes even this almost work. Eggers makes a point to have a troubled Caleb question his father following the disappearance of Samuel: if we are all born in sin, and he was not yet baptized, isn't he in hell? William has no answer for him. The God of the Puritans was a deeply capricious, terrifyingly distant deity, one whose salvation one could never be assured of and whose hellfire was a constant threat. If He is the God of The VVitch, the whole movie can be seen as a particularly perverse test of faith (and indeed William namechecks Abraham and Isaac later on in its running time). The family has been exiled from their congregation to test their loyalty to their heavenly father, and each and every one is found wanting.
There are two readings of the film's final scene, each as valid as the other.
A graphically naked Thomasin, her covenant with Satan made, stumbles into the wood and watches as a circle of equally naked women chants a praise to their father below, before ascending to the tops of the trees. Firelight dancing across her face, Thomasin slowly begins to rise as well, and we cannot tell if the laughter on her face is that of madness or that of freedom. The Satanic Temple certainly believes it to be the latter—they infamously partnered with A24 to promote the film before its release—and they have a fair amount of evidence to support their case, with the entire film's nightmare treatment of pent-up sexuality serving as prelude to Thomasin's glorious sexual release and rejection of Puritan paranoia. The various evils that lead to this moment might seem too heavy to justify this interpretation, but the film does ask the question: if the God of this world could allow such terrible things to happen to those who want nothing more than to serve him, is Satan truly more evil in comparison?
—while it would seem to better fit the worldview of the film's religious players, is the more disturbing of the two. It was rightly pointed out to me before I saw the film that witches are one of the only cultural groups that are still widely considered fair game to demonize, with most people drawing no distinction between Wiccans and neopagans and the Satanic monsters of old campfire stories—and not bothering to do the five minutes' research it would take to reveal that the two are completely different (not to mention the fact that the latter never existed). Not only could The VVitch lead to a renewed Satanic panic in religious viewers and encourage them to dehumanize modern witches, it paints a revisionist view of history in which Satanic witches did indeed exist and thus justified the presence of witch hunts and burnings. It's a troubling moral issue, and while the subtitle A New England Folk Tale encourages the viewer to remember that it's really "just a story", such things tend to get thrown by the wayside when religious paranoia comes along.
I wanted to high-five the ending of this film. The ecstasy of evil.
This review was underselling it. I wrote it last night; this morning, I woke up screaming, which has never happened to me before.

Signals™ Headlines - November 2, 2022
FMC Proposes New Demurrage & Detention Billing Requirements
FMC Rejects ONE Settlement
Commission Contracts For Chassis Study
FMC Receives Four New Formal Complaints
Transpacific Eastbound Carriers File GRIs Effective November 15, 2022 & December 1, 2022
The U.S. Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) proposed a new rule for demurrage and detention billing practices of vessel operating common carriers (VOCCs), non-vessel-operating common carriers (NVOCCs), and marine terminal operators (MTOs). The new rule, issued as a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on October 7, 2022, is intended as a clarification of the Commission's current detention and demurrage rules. This clarification is mandated by the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2022 (OSRA-2022).
Under the proposed rule VOCCs, NVOCCs, and MTOs will all be required to issue bills for demurrage or detention only to parties that they have a contractual relationship with. The Commission's proposed rule means that only the person that has contracted with the billing party for the carriage of goods or space to store cargo may be billed for detention and demurrage. Under the new rule invoices must also be clear regarding the nature of the charges and must be invoiced no later than 30 days after the charges stop accruing. A 30-day dispute period must also be allowed. Each invoice must include clear information about how charges should be disputed.
Interested parties have until December 13, 2022 to submit comments. The Commission is specifically interested in receiving comments on whether it would be appropriate to include the consignee named on the bill of lading as another party who may receive a demurrage or detention invoice.
Comments may be submitted via regulations.gov using the online comment function for docket number FMC-2022-0066.
The U.S. Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) rejected and remanded a settlement agreement reached between Ocean Network Express Pte. Ltd. (ONE) and the FMC's Bureau of Enforcement (BOE). The Commission found the agreement approval was lacking consideration of penalty factors and was improperly granted confidentiality.
ONE and the BOE obtained an Initial Decision from an FMC Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) approving a fully confidential settlement of ONE's alleged overly broad use of the term merchant in June 2022. ONE allegedly used the term merchant contained in its Bills of Lading to seek payment for charges from parties that ONE was not in contractual privity with. The terms of the settlement, including any amounts paid by ONE, were confidential. FMC's rules require that the full text of all settlements be made public, however the ALJ approved this confidential settlement citing "unique circumstances."
The full Commission reviewed this decision and issued an Order Reversing the Initial Decision and Remanding on October 27, 2022. The Commission found that the parties did not properly address the determination of the penalty amount under the FMC's Rules of Practice and Procedure. The FMC's rules require that penalty determinations be issued after consideration of factors such as the nature, circumstances, extent and gravity of the violation committed, and the policies for deterrence. The Commission's rule also requires the respondent's degree of culpability, history of prior offenses, and ability to pay to be considered in any penalty determination.
Additionally, the Commission also found that the settlement, which was the result of an enforcement action, was improperly granted confidential treatment. Under the FMC's own rules penalties resulting from enforcement actions must be made public to further the deterrence and encourage compliance.
The ALJ's Initial Decision approving this confidential settlement, which was issued on June 28, 2022, is now under review again by the ALJ. An initial decision is due to be issued January 26, 2023.
The U.S. Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) awarded a $500,000 contract to the National Academies of Science (NAS) to conduct a study examining intermodal chassis pools and provide recommendations on best practices for their management. The study was mandated by Section 19 of the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2022 (OSRA-2022).
Under this agreement, a committee of independent experts will study the different approaches for supplying the chassis used by motor carriers, railroads, marine terminal operators, and other stakeholders to transport intermodal ocean containers. The committee will use the findings from their research to determine which circumstances and models for provisioning chassis most support an efficiently functioning supply chain and will identify the best practices from each examined model that can further increase efficiency. The committee will identify the conditions necessary to implement each model, including practical obstacles to implementation and their possible solutions.
Committee members will serve without compensation. This committee will be appointed over the next several weeks and the public will be provided with an opportunity to comment on the makeup of the committee. Individuals interested in serving on the study committee, or in suggesting candidates, should contact Thomas Menzies and Mark Hutchins of the NAS Transportation Research Board.
The U.S. Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) received four new formal complaints in October 2022 alleging violations of the U.S. Shipping Act and FMC regulations.
Unlawful Detention & Demurrage Fees & Unreasonable Cargo Practices, FMC Docket No. 22-30: Samsung Electronic America, Inc. (SEA) filed a formal complaint against ZIM Integrated Shipping Service Ltd., alleging that ZIM violated the U.S. Shipping Act by failing to establish, observe, and enforce just and reasonable practices related to receiving, handling, storing, and delivering of cargo, engaging in retaliation, refusing to deal, invoicing detention or demurrage without required information, and issuing unreasonable charges. Specifically, SEA alleges that it engaged ZIM for store door services for US imports. Starting in late 2020 and throughout 2021, ZIM failed to properly perform its inland transportation obligations. As a result, SEA was exposed to unreasonable costs, including detention and demurrage, delays, and other harms.
SEA requests the Commission order ZIM to pay SEA reparations for its unlawful conduct including attorneys' fees and costs, to cease and desist from the unlawful conduct, and to pay any other amounts that the Commission deems appropriate.
Unreasonable Cargo Practices, FMC Docket No. 22-29: MVM Logistics (MVM), a California-based corporation, filed a formal complaint against MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company (USA) Inc., alleging that MSC violated the U.S. Shipping Act by failing to establish, observe, and enforce just and reasonable practices related to the receiving, handling, storing, and delivering of cargo.
Specifically, MVM alleges that MSC failed to provide adequate time for returning containers, failed to provide equipment for container movement, and frequently changed container return dates and vessel schedules resulting in delays and fees. MVM further alleges that MSC restricted its access to terminals when MVM disputed per diem charges. MVM claims that MSC's actions resulted in a loss of 95 percent of its shipping business and excess charges of at least $380,000.
MVM requests the Commission order MSC to pay MVM damages for its unlawful conduct including attorneys' fees and costs and any other amounts that the Commission deems appropriate.
Unreasonable Cargo Practices, FMC Docket No. 22-28: Way Interglobal Network, LLC (Way), an Indiana-based importer of recreational vehicle parts, filed a formal complaint against Shenzhen Unifelix SCM Limited (Unifelix), a China-based non-vessel-operating common carrier alleging that Unifelix violated the U.S. Shipping Act by failing to establish, observe, and enforce just and reasonable practices related to receiving, handling, storing, and delivering of cargo and handling claims. Way also alleges Unifelix unlawfully disclosed Way's financial information.
Specifically, Way alleges that Unifelix failed to properly support its invoices for transportation services, submitted exorbitant charges, and demanded payment of freight and other charges in advance, in violation of its transportation agreement with Way. Way also claims that Unifelix disclosed Way's financial information to Way's vendors and others by demanding the vendors pay Unifelix directly for freight charges. As a result of Unifelix's actions Way claims it suffered damages of $1 million.
Way requests the Commission order Unifelix to pay Way reparations for its unlawful conduct including attorneys' fees and costs and any other amounts that the Commission deems appropriate.
Unreasonable Cargo Practices, FMC Docket No. 22-27: Globerunners, Incorporated, a Texas-based non-vessel-operating common carrier, filed a formal complaint against Hoyer Global (USA), Inc., also a Texas-based non-vessel-operating common carrier alleging that Hoyer violated the U.S. Shipping Act by failing to establish, observe, and enforce just and reasonable practices related to receiving, handling, storing, and delivering of cargo.
Specifically, Globerunners alleges that after a shipment to Korea incurred demurrage in 2019, Hoyer failed to properly support its invoices for demurrage charges and attempted to charge more than it had paid to the destination port and terminal.
Globerunners requests the Commission to order Hoyer to cease a desist collection of demurrage, storage and/or wharfage exceeding the amount actual paid by Hoyer and cease and desist from refusing to provide proof of the actual amount of charges Hoyer paid for demurrage. Globerunners further requests the Commission investigate and find Hoyer in violation of the Shipping Act and issue any further relief as the FMC determines to be just and proper.

The call of God changes for each time and place. For our time in this area of Western New York, we have received God's call to enter a gut-wrenching period of healing, not just for the Catholic Church, but for all of society. The seminarians, deacon candidates, and lay men and women who study for ministry at Christ the King Seminary have heard this call and are responding in faith. They are aware their response calls for compassionate listening and humble witness so that the Good News of Christ's resurrection may heal and creatively transform our wounded world.
Far from running from the abuse crisis, the People of God are carrying the burden of the past infidelity of some previously trusted ministers. The events call us to a communal contrition for the wounds the perpetrators inflicted. This may not seem fair to the faithful who live exemplary lives, but as a community of faith, we share in suffering as well as in healing. This burden pales in comparison with the burden suffering survivors of abuse have had to carry. The survivors who have shared their stories and brought to light these abuses, sometimes outright crimes, prove to be catalysts of a much-needed purification and healing for all of us.
The courageous witness of survivors to truth and healing inspires all of us to be agents of healing in a world scarred by broken trusts and pain. To carry out this ministry of healing, we are challenged to listen more attentively and compassionately, as many are already doing. It requires constant education for the prevention of abuse, as well as due diligence in sifting truth from falsehood. Substantiated allegations demand that we act swiftly against perpetrators to promote the healing process. False allegations, however, only serve to re-victimize genuine survivors and impede healing, thus exacerbating abuse.
We find ourselves in anguish, even turmoil, during this journey of healing, but it is a long, difficult journey we need to make. In undertaking it, God calls us to become prophetic witnesses to wider society. Victims of abuse - sexual, physical, emotional - exist in families, institutions, and workplaces everywhere. The time has come for us to listen more closely to them and help them become healthy survivors. We are in a time of contrition, of healing, and of emerging renewed life. Our support and accompaniment of one another will help transform us, the Church, and the world in which we live.

Help name the UK Digital Marketing Individual of the Year with new look Digerati format
By Staff Writer-09 August 2017 09:18am
Digerati
The top figures of the UK digital marketing industry are once again being sought for the annual Digerati list compiled by The Drum.
Each year, The Drum reveals the most influential figures in the UK digital marketing sector in order to highlight who is at the top of the tree with the overall winner named as Individual of the Year at the Dadi awards.
Last year's winner of the award was IBM iX Europe chief Matt Candy, with previous recipients including Mr President's Laura Jordan Bambach, WPP head honcho Sir Martin Sorrell and SapientRazorfish' Nigel Vaz.
On being named on the Digerati list, Vaz, said: "It's said that the journey is the reward. When you make it into The Drum's Digerati you know you've arrived. More than that, it's a 'most influential' list that holds a high bar around the individual, the company and their impact to this community – so it's the goal of getting there and what you do along the way that really matters. And that benefits us all."
Meanwhile, Mediacom's Karen Blackett, added "It was an immense honour and privilege to be in such amazing company. Also glad there was some diversity in the list"
Group M's chief transformation officer, Lindsay Pattison also said: "I couldn't think of a smarter group to be listed with. I an honoured to be a Digerati alumni."
To better reflect the divergence of the digital industry, this list of individuals this year will be split into five sections: brand; media owner; agency; adtech; martech and consultancy.
Final nominations will be accepted until the evening of 18 August with the overall winner announced at the Dadi awards ceremony in London taking place on 19 October.

They can also maintain weight loss in the long-term through weekly consultations, customized diet plans, motivational coaches and a powerful prescription program. The over-the-counter Tennis fat loss pill is a lower-dose version of the medication orlistat or Xenical, which is only available by prescription. Other drugs may interact with orlistat, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. What happens if I overdose? If you have lost enough weight to improve your health and aren't having serious side effects, your doctor may suggest that you stay on the medication indefinitely. This enzyme is what breaks carbohydrates down into fat or sugar within the body. Who is a candidate for weight-loss drugs?
Drug Interactions in more detail Further information Remember, keep this and all other medicines out of the reach of children, never share your medicines with others, and use Xenical only for the indication prescribed. When first approved in February ofa Fox News article reported that Orlistat blocks 25 percent of the fat you consume.
Today, the Alli website states that Alli can help you drop one additional pound for every two pounds you lose. Take the missed dose as soon as you remember, but no more than 1 hour after eating a meal. For example, if you eat calories per day, no more than of those calories should be in the form of fat.
In most cases, orlistat is only available on prescription.
Carb blockers may cause mild gastrointestinal side effects and may lower blood sugar -- something to watch for if you have diabetes. Other drugs may interact with orlistat, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Treatment with orlistat must be combined with a balanced low-fat diet and other weight loss strategies, such as doing more exercise.
If these side effects become excessive, this may mean that you need to reduce your fat intake. Common side effects include nausea, headache and constipation.
Do not use Xenical if you are pregnant. Side effects in more detail What other drugs will affect Xenical?
Maintaining weight loss will also require behavioural and lifestyle change, and speaking to a GP or other health professional can be an important opportunity to seek advice and support to achieve these goals and successful weight loss.

Ruminant animals like cattle are the major source of agricultural methane emissions because of their unique digestive systems. Enteric fermentation emissions, primarily from beef and dairy cattle, have risen 6.9 percent since 1990. "This increase in [methane] emissions from 1990 to 2017 generally follows the increasing trends in cattle populations," found the EPA.

Complex estate valuations can result in IRS problems after death | Law Offices of Frye & Vazquez, P.L.
On behalf of Law Offices of Frye & Vazquez, P.L. posted in Estate Tax on Monday, October 14, 2013.
Readers in Miami-Dade are likely aware that assessing the value of a person's assets is a large part of settling their estate after they die. Not only does the valuation process, in many cases, help to determine specific inheritance amounts, it also is the basis for deciding the estate tax liability.
After the death of a loved one, many people may find themselves in hot water with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) based on discrepancies in the valuation of an estate's property and assets. This can lead to an IRS audit and, in some cases, even result in the IRS taking legal action. Unlike resources such as bank accounts or stock portfolios, personal holdings, like art collections, a privately owned small business, patents, and acting or musical credits can be difficult to assess a value to. In other cases, their death itself could also affect, in one way or the other, the value of a person' estate.
While there is no certain way to predict what their estate will be worth at the time of a person's death, experts do have some advice for how people can help to ease the process of determining their gross estate worth. In situations where a business' total value is drastically reduced by the death of the owner, it is possible for the estate administrator to request an alternate valuation date, typically six months after the date of death, with the IRS. This allows consideration for such a loss. Maintaining current, detailed records can also be of great assistance when it comes time to assess an estate's net worth.
Not all probate and valuation problems are avoidable, but with careful estate planning, a person can help to minimalize the potential issues and make the process of administrating their estate easier for all involved.

So, what scares you the most on Halloween? Is it Freddy Kruger, Penny Wise, or their ole pal Jason? Perhaps it's the creepy sound emerging from your high-tech neighbor's smoke-filled garage? Or could it be you have no worthy treats to distribute to the endless line of costumes converging on your home this night?
Maybe it's a little more practical? The fact these young kids are consuming an unhealthy sugar plunder from the loot of their jack-o-lantern treasure trove!
We understand the occasional splurge because it's only one night a year when trick-or-treaters come demanding over-priced candy hastily purchased at the corner drugstore. We were kids once, we get the tradition, we get the stomach ache, and the unhealthy precedent. Perhaps this year we can alter our game plan and distribute some items which will not raise blood sugar levels and be a healthy alternative for all kids – including ours.
No, I'm not talking about handing out carrot sticks or plain apples – you don't want to be known as that house. I'm talking about some things that are fun, healthy, and safe.
So, if going candy-crazy is not your plan this Halloween because health is a concern for your household and for the neighborhood, try these treat ideas that aren't all about the sugar.
Kids can break out these necklaces, wands or glow-in-the-dark sticks, right away and you'll be a novelty in the neighborhood with your treats seen in mass for some distance. Make sure you get an assortment of colors so they can choose and trade. This handout is a temporary toy but memorable, and it doesn't lead to tooth decay.
We're not talking Tiffany's – but plastic jewelry featuring creepy creatures, pumpkins, black cats, and cartoonish ghosts. You can purchase these in bulk from online. Not into scary? You can include rings with rhinestones, hearts, and butterflies. Or you can do double duty with bubble rings and blow bubble rings, all available online.
Add to their costume with horrifying accessories the boys will appreciate: Pirate patches, glow , in the dark Martian fingers, fang whistles, and skull key chains. For girls, a tamer choice of Asian folding fans, glow in the dark light sticks, and Halloween clappers.
Kids love temporary tattoos and even teenagers will like them, too. You can stick with a Halloween theme with Pirates of the Caribbean tattoos or vampire bites. There are girly Disney Princesses and glittery pirate tattoos. Makeup is popular with tween girls, so consider two-tone lip gloss; for boys, there are glow-in-the-dark or neon vampire fangs.
Body stickers are fun for kids to trade and collect. You can find items like animal stickers, generic sport stickers, character stickers, and black glitter Halloween stickers for just a couple of cents each. How about Halloween coloring books with small boxes of crayons and big bug stencils.
You can even make beading kits by combining nylon string with foam Halloween beads, packed in plastic sandwich bags. Check Amazon.com, for tiny containers of Play-Doh or animal ink stamps.
With school in session, kids will enjoy showing off new Halloween-themed supplies. Items like skull-and-crossbones pencil cases, cute candy corn notepads, and eyeball pens and notepad sets. Or pick up pencil sharpeners, pencil top erasers, syringe pens, and rulers with ghosts, witches, black cats, and other creepy creatures. U.S. School Supply has Halloween sets filled with stickers, erasers, and pencils.
You can hand out miniature playthings that will entertain kids on the playground or in the car. "Boo Bunch" mini yo-yos, tiny pinball games, jacks and ball sets, and knockoff Rubik's cubes. Or inspire outdoor fun with bubble sets, sidewalk chalk, inflatable mini balls, and squirting fish toys. Find mini Uno games and safari-themed finger puppets.
Cut down on the sugar and empty calories by distributing sensible snacks, like candy's close cousin; sugarless chewing gum. Packages, bags, and mini boxes, of Pirate's Booty, Goldfish Crackers, cereal bars, string cheese, pretzels, apple slices and raisins. Or hand out Halloween-themed bags of Angie's Kettle Corn (gluten free) or baby carrots.
To keep sugar-laced candy out of your home, we encourage kids to participate in Halloween Candy Buy Back, a national program which pays kids $1 per pound of sweets which are shipped to U.S. troops overseas.
Building healthy habits should start a young age. As the house swapping out sugar packed treats for non-edible novelties or nutritious alternatives, you will be helping create a balance for your neighborhood kids this Halloween.


Over the past month, there have been at least three separate occasions in which silver rallied sharply in a single day, only to lose most of those gains the next day. On another occasion silver rallied over several days, only to lose its gains in one day. This is highly unusual price behavior, even for silver, the world's most manipulated market. There are no legitimate supply/demand explanations for this kind of erratic price behavior. It always comes down to who's tapping who on the COMEX – check that – it always comes down to how the commercials are tapping the technical funds.
Whereas I previously labeled the commercials (big banks) as colluding among themselves in their dealings with the technical hedge funds and not exhibiting any true competitive behavior in their trading activities I must now amend that. The commercials are still collusive in their approach to the markets, but a new level of competition has emerged within the overall commercial collusion. Just as occurs in every Wall Street scheme eventually, the sure pickings the commercials enjoyed in their dealings with the technical funds has evolved into slim pickings, due to competition among the commercials. So eager have the commercials become to skin the technical funds that they are selling to the funds at lower and lower prices and smaller profits. This explains the phenomenon of the progressively smaller rallies in gold and silver over the past few years and also explains the big up days in silver followed immediately by next day takedowns.
It strikes me that the increasing aggression on the sell side by the commercials indicates that we are in the late stages of the silver manipulation. All financial schemes on Wall Street go through various stages and all blow up in the later stages and I can't see why silver would be different. The overall profits to JPMorgan and the collusive commercials are definitely shrinking. The likelihood of serious miscalculation looms large. Miscalculation goes hand in hand with shrinking profits and aggressive positioning. The aggressive commercial selling is contrary to the spirit of U.S. commodity law. None of this COMEX positioning has the slightest connection to legitimate hedging by real producers or consumers. It's no more than a Wall Street financial scheme designed to benefit a few insiders at the expense of the many. That it may have reached its terminal phase is nothing but good news.
Once again, the regulators have dropped the ball. A good number of obvious facts make the silver manipulation the greatest financial scheme ever to exist. Yet, the CFTC pretends that nothing is wrong with silver prices being set by purely speculative positioning on the COMEX and can't even bring itself to comment on the most important market issue of the day. I don't know how these people can live with themselves. They are either so clueless that they can't understand failing in their main regulatory mission, or they are so corrupt that they do understand and choose to neglect their mission. In either case, they are not fit for office.
Keep in mind that the increasingly blatant silver manipulation has resulted in such an incredibly low and uneconomic price for silver that the price is reason enough to consider silver as the premier investment opportunity. This is particularly true when comparing silver to just about every other investment opportunity. The reasons for how we got to such a low price of silver are all rotten and illegitimate, but in time the high price to come will make the reasons for how we got here a distant memory.
