Bell's inequality is the itch on the back of all believers in hidden variables. Based on only a few assumptions it states that some correlations in quantum mechanics can not be achieved by local realistic hidden variables theories. The correlations in hidden variables theories of that type have to fulfill an inequality, now named after John Bell, violations of which have been observed in experiment, thus hidden variables don't describe reality. But as always, the devil is in the details, and if one doesn't pay attention to the details, loopholes remain. For Bell's inequality, there are actually quite a few of them, and to date no experiment has managed to close them all.
The typical experiment for Bell's theorem makes use of a pair of photons (electrons), entangled in polarization (spin). The two particles are send in different directions and their polarizations are measured along different directions. The correlation among the pairs of repeated measurements is subject to Bell's inequality. (Or the more general CHSH inequality).
The maybe most obvious loophole, called the locality loophole, is that information could be locally communicated from one measurement to the other. Since information can maximally be transmitted by the speed of light this is the case if, for example, the second measurement is made with delay to the first, such that the second measurement is in the forward lightcone of the first. Another loophole is that the detector settings may possibly be correlated with the prepared state without any violations of locality if they are in the forward lightcone of the preparation. Since in this case the experimenter cannot actually set the detector as he wishes, it's called the freedom-of-choice loophole.
A case where both loopholes are present is depicted in the space-time image below. The event marked with "E" is the emission of the photos. The red lines are the worldlines of the entangled electrons or photons (in an optical fiber). "A" and "B" are the two measurements and "a" and "b" are the events at which the detector settings are chosen. Also in the image are the forward lightcones of the event "E" and "A".
So that's how you don't want to make your experiment if you're aiming to disprove locally realistic hidden variables. Instead, what you want to do is an experiment as in the second figure below, where not only the measurement events "A" and "B" are spacelike to each other (ie they are not in each other's lightcone), but also the events "a" and "b" at which the detector settings are chosen are spacelike to each other and to the emission of the photons.
Let us also recall that the lightcone is invariant under Lorentz-transformations and thus the statement whether two events are spacelike, timelike or lightlike to each other does not depend on the reference frame. If you manage to do it in one frame, it's good for all frames.
Looks simple enough in a diagram, less simple to actually do it: Entanglement is a fragile state and the speed of light, which is the maximum speed by which (hidden) information might travel is really, really fast. It helps if you let the entangled particles travel over long distances before you make the measurement, but then you have to be very careful in getting the timing right.
And that's exactly what a group of experimentalists around Anton Zeiliger did and published in November in their paper "Violation of local realism with freedom of choice" (arXiv version here). They closed for the first time both of the two above mentioned loopholes by choosing a setting that disabled communication between the measurement events as well as between the preparation of the photons and the choice of detector settings. The test was performed between two Canary Islands, La Palma and Tenerife.
The polarization-entangled pairs of photons were produced in La Palma. One was guided to a transmitter telescope and sent over a distance of 144 km to Tenerife, where it was received by another telescope. The other photon made 6km of circles in a coiled optical fibre in La Palma. The detector settings in La Palma were chosen by a quantum random number generator 1.2 km away from the source, and in Tenerife by another similar but independent random number generator. The measurements violated Bell's inequality by more than 16 standard deviations.
But if you're a believer in local realistic hidden variable theories, let me scratch your itch. You can't close the freedom-of-choice loophole in superdeterministic hidden variables theories with this method because there's no true randomness in that case. It doesn't matter where you locate your "random" generator, its outcome was determined arbitrarily long ago in the backward lightcone of the emission.
I spoke of Penrose's Quanglement before. Cryptography? Spin in relation to another instantaneously? Seth Loylld?
Susskind's thought experiment about elephants excursions as a wayin which to describe what was going inside the blackhole? I mean it was a shot in the dark right, in using entanglement?
If you've followed entanglement, John Clauser, Michael Horne, Abner Shimony and Richard Holt, you would have most surely meet up with Zeilinger and his experiments.
Itch duly scratched. I note that there doesn't have to be superdeterminism to retain a modicum of classicality, there just has to be "superrandomness". That is, probability distributions in the present, in particular those associated with the random number generators, have to be increasingly determined as we are given more information about the past. The classical side of Bell inequalities arguments are statistical-probabilistic (and similarly for CHSH etc.). The dependence on initial conditions is such that a lot of information is requires to determine useful correlations.
I can't remember from your past posts whether you take the violations to indicate a failure more of locality or more of particle property realism?
Yes, that's correct. I just didn't want to elaborate on the point for the sake of readability. The paper I mentioned above has a very nice explanation on that point too.
Yep, they did a nice vacation for many people involved.
What the teams at the University of Innsbruck and the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (Nist) did was teleport qubits from one atom to another with the help of a third auxiliary atom.
Sorry to Seth Lloyd for spelling his name wrong.
One of my gripes is the view in MWI and associated DI (decoherence makes for effective collapse) is their loose and over extended application of "entangled." IMHO real entanglement is such as genuinely correlated ("biphotons") with a tandem wave function description such that neither one has e.g. a specific polarization state by itself. Yet in DI, people loosely say that e.g. outcome #1 from a superposition (like, *one* photon split by BS) is "entangled" with the observer seeing that outcome, and outcome #2 is entangled with observer seeing that click, etc.
But isn't that just ordinary unitary evolution applied to the WF component states? The two cases aren't even written up the same way and have different operator relations (I'll pass to trying to enter that here.) It's not "real entanglement" which is correlation between two actually realized events (well, as we imagine it in the normal "one real world.") Also in "real entanglement" one measurement just sets up requirement about the state of the partner, not the issue of being observed there at all.
Well, you know I'm going to knock on DI but I did come up with a way to experimentally test "decoherence turns superpositions into mixtures" and "explains why we don't see macroscopic alive + dead cat." If their explanation fails (as I expect) then that knocks down MWI pretty hard - and nonlocal correlations continue to be a real paradox.
The measurements violated Bell's inequality by more than 16 standard deviations.
The US has a fission waste storage problem. Yucca Mountain is a giant pile of ion-exchange aluminosilicate sitting 1400 feet above the local water table. Nevada had 900+ underground nuclear explosions, offering some information on uncontained fission waste migration in random geology. The original specification was 1000 years of safe containment. That has now increased to 200,000 years of safe containment. Yucca Mountain is Officially unsafe and cannot be used!
What evidence does the hidden variable crowd offer that it happens, as opposed to 19 sigma that it doesn't?
Thanks for this great post explaining Zeiliger et al latest confirmation of J.S. Bell's experimental inspired hypothesis. The only problem I have with it, as well as your description, is for the unfamiliar it might have them to believe all "hidden variable" explanations with such violations are to be dismissed. That is intrinsically non local hidden variables theories are also excluded by such results, while actually it could be claimed they are reinforced and resultant merely as quantum behaviour is then to be chosen as nature having an undeniable non local character; only one whose existence is denied in the standard interpretational treatment.
I'm sorry and I hope you don't think that I meant you to have such to be excluded. Rather it's just I've found it the nature of many to draw conclusions where none should be made. The thing is I think the best physicists are those who would rather admit their uncertainties and then grapple with them, as to find ways by which they may be relieved. That is in such regard I've never found Anton Zeiliger to be such a physicist and thus find his motives should be carefully examined when in come to his conclusions respective of his findings.
Maybe you know Joy Christian from Perimeter who has some (unpublished) papers on similar topics. Comment?
I found Bell's inequalities not really that transparant. The way Mermin set up the experiment in this paper is much more clear: http://ajp.aapt.org/resource/1/ajpias/v58/i8/p731_s1 . It uses three detectors, but is much more direct in its claims. I wonder if it's experimentally possible to test this version.
I'm talking about the one with two down converters. The problem is the interference pattern is a locally visible thing. That seems to suggest that you can transmit information between two points even if no particle travels between the points.
Phil, anyone: I suppose BM just takes what it already has for quantum phenomena in general - a sort of superluminal communication - and extends that to specific "entanglement." Note however (and note also what I said earlier about confusion over "entanglement") that the polarization states of entangled photon pairs are supposed to be indefinite in principle. It isn't just, one has a real value in itself that affects the real value of the other one. That's the whole point, it isn't local realism but a relationship between "measurements." So I don't see that something with real properties sending a message to something else would be good enough. I'm sure people thought about that, it just seems inadequate to the task.
Also, if we want photons to be "real particles" in some sense but just guided around slits and screens etc., note that in QFT we don't always have a definite photon number. How would BM handle that? I don't see how, it's a feature of field theories that the field manifests in various ways and no particular set of real particles, no matter how cleverly manipulated, can represent the situation.
I think what Phil is trying to say is that just as Special Relativity shows that an aether needn't exist,and Bell's Inequality Tests show that hidden variables are not necessary, that is not to say that either exists at a more fundamental level, that is to say at a much smaller length scale that we can currently probe, and that either the LHC or VLHC can probe.
The setting for this test was quite beautiful. Neil Bates, you should include some money in your budget to run the experiment in a beautiful setting. Take you pick: Aruba, Jamaica, come on Neil hey let's go to Bermuda, Bahama, come on anti-Deco or Key Largo, Montego, what the heck let's take it straight to Kokomo, we'll run this thing and then we'll take it slow .... ok I'll stop that now. I got my daily Beach Boys fix, thnx.
Srsly? How far has deBroglie-Bohm Pilot Wave Theory advanced since Bohm worked on it?
I don't think any of these theories are complete. I do think Bell's Inequalities Test experiiments offer a huge clue that we're missing something fundamental.
At least Peter Woit would say I'm sure: And there you go: quantum mechanics proven correct, yet again.
Given the new and quite remarkable "weak measurement" results regarding the two-slit experiments (Kocsis et al, Science, 6/3/11) and the wavefunction (Nature, 6/9/11, I think),one would want to warm up frozen assumptions and stay fluid ;) Plasmatic?
Then there is J. Christian's research that indicates fatal flaws in Bell's Theorem.
Then there is K. Whartons's reseach that indicates that discreteness only enters QM via measurements (boundary conditions?).
Don't discard your local realism bets just yet. Very much in flux.
And how about them BOSTON BRUINS!
What an amazing Stanley Cup Series!
" ... Most physicists now accept that quantum mechanics has passed this test. What do these experiments tell us about the nature of reality? The observed violation of Bell's inequality means that no hidden variables theory - without some explicit or implicit unpleasant action-at-a-distance property - can agree with experiment. Whilst Einstein would probably have preferred some underlying, deterministic hidden variable explanation for quantum mechanics, he would certainly not have wanted to accept the existence of such 'spooky action-at-a-distance' effects."
M'kay. Well, "unpleasant" is subjective, and has no room in Math or Science IMO. So what explicit properties or implicit properties are left to ponder?
Hey was a protege of Feynman's.
Steve, AAAD is unpleasant to those who think the universe "ought not to misbehave" in ways that affront their stuffy classical-rationalist sensibilities. I'm completely the opposite, I think the U can be as it pleases, it pleases to outwit and baffle us, and I (and probably it) revel in its weirdness.
To me the most pitiful development is the attempt to maintain old-fashioned classical particles and fields by in MWI. These people say, there really is a specific real supeposition of amplitudes all over, and it evolves deterministically. How come the physical effects of the alternatives don't smash together, how to get the right probabilities (there really aren't any, if they are right), how to rematerialize the same mass-energy in more than one place, all an absurd contortion to keep the onerous clockwork universe alive (yeah, deterministic Schrodinger evolution is clockwork in principle) - but most people think that Rube Goldberg contraption is the hippest, cutting edge in thought.
Some how many are under the impression that I'm a die hard Bohmian. The fact of the matter is I'm not a die hard anything. What I am is someone who is fully aware that there is no standard interpretation of quantum mechanics which has observations explained which avoids being vague, ambiguous and yes incomplete. As an example decoherence is the positivists attempt to have this solved for the standard treatment of QM.
That is for instance Richard Feynman was to famously proclaim no one understands quantum mechanics, which is something I've always had issue with. That is if Quantum mechanics is limited strictly to being a non relativistic theory as Bell pointed out the deBroglie-Bohm theory does do just that. On the other hand if he had said no one understands Quantum Field Theory I would have to agree, as neither Bohmian Mechanics or any other interpretation can be used to offer a complete description. From the Bohmian perspective this is because having it becoming a completely Lorentz invariant theory has this as a problem ( one which continues to be worked on ) and for the standard treatment it's because the interpretational foundation upon which it realizes remains vague, ambiguous and yes incomplete.
The beauty of such experiments is that it is narrowing the options. This has my first question to anyone which holds that this result being a vindication of the standard treatment is explain, not to me, yet rather to themselves what the standard treatment is then actually telling them about the world which they claim it has them truly understand.
"The Heisenberg-Bohr tranquilizing philosophy--or religion?--is delicately contrived that, for the time being, it provides a gentle pillow for the true believer from which he cannot very easily be aroused. So let him lie there."
We're not talking MWI if Bryce DeWitt doesn't resurrect crazy Everett III's paper from the trash heap in the late 60's. Also be careful, Deustch has a slightly different form of MWI where the number of worlds are not infinite but very very large.
Well whatever form of MWI we talk about I tend to think it's all garbage.
"The Collapse of the Wavefunction." <== What is that? Nobody knows.
Penrose thinks microgravity does it. Wojeck thinks the environment, the measuring apparatus, AND the observed interact and decohere. And there are about 4 other theories, all but one of which is wrong, or maybe all of them are wrong.
Here's one I'm 99.9999999 % sure is wrong: von Neumann and Wigner's "The consciousness of the observer determines the outcome." Holy geez why do people put up with THAT nonsense?!
Re MWI: always a problem, for them to get "statistics" out of continued many worlds. Many say it is a particularly bad problem to get the right probabilities for correlations, but supporters say it's easier because no superluminal communication is necessary: just get the right "worlds" to match up (I don't see that as much easier.) Just remember: in MWI every equivalent experiment really turns out the same each time because it consists of the continued (but "non-interacting") superposition of all amplitudes/outcomes.
The consciousness thing, yeah I don't agree with that either, and MWI co-opted it as the alternative brain states don't interact with each other. But when are those people going to realize that lack of ability to interfere (see my post on the confusion thereby) isn't going to keep e.g. two split versions of trains from smashing into each other.
a. Does Bell's theorem translate into some theorem about the S-matrix?
b. Maybe Bell's theorem is an indication of some fundamental limitation on the construction of approximate local observables in the unified theory.
BTW Steve, I mean "fastidious" in the good sense. Speaking of experiments, anyone know of other experiments, done or proposed, to test decoherence of photons for status as mixture versus superposition? What I've seen is usually trapped atoms, atoms in superposed energy and/or location states, etc. AFAICT decoherence isn't part of the issue of nonlocal correlations, why such a big deal then about "measurement" in general?
There's a quantum gravity conference going on now I believe in Zurich, or is it just over? Any revelations?
I was a bit surprised last summer when Marcelo Gleiser said there may be no T.O.E. Doesn't take much to extend that to no such thing as Quantum Gravity, and no such thing as Grand Unified theory, so QFT may be the best we all get.
Kinda depressing if so, in which case ... let's all quit science and play the markets and get sticking rich !
A local real model of a photon begin used in the Dehlinger and Mitchell setup to illustrate entangled photons.
The linear photon is modelled as not only having a specific "average" polarization direction (as is modelled by Dehlinger and Mitchell), but also as having a "wobble" or "instantaneous" polarization direction.
Lots of animations and pictures to illustrate the model.

How the Kansas Career Sunflower Works: A Parent's Perspective
When I was introduced to the Kansas Career Sunflower through my role here at HirePaths, I had a lot of questions. I was told it was an illustration of how the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) has structured career and technical education (CTE) in our state. However, as the parent of a seventh grader, I needed more information to fully understand what I was looking at and how it's used in schools.
I decided to go straight to the source to help my fellow parents understand how our public schools deliver career exploration and education efforts — and how we as parents fit into the process.
Crystal Roberts, an education program consultant with KSDE, was able to shed some light on the subject. She explained that each of the seven petals of the Kansas Career Sunflower represents a career field:
Design, production and repair
Media and technology
"Within those career fields, there are 16 career clusters," Roberts said. "We take those clusters and organize academic and occupational knowledge and skills into course sequences. Then we break things down into 36 pathways for consideration during secondary (high) school and beyond to two- and four-year colleges as well as the workplace."
Roberts explained that Kansas has chosen to focus on 36 career pathways, which serve as ways for students of all ages to learn about what they can do with their future. KSDE envisions this career exploration happening on three levels:
Teachers begin the CTE sequence of courses in elementary school, teaching about the seven fields of work and the function of jobs within a society.
In middle school students dig deeper, exploring the 16 clusters through field trips, guest speakers and other high-level introductory activities.
In high school, with their interests and aptitudes more solidified, students begin to focus on select pathways and learn how to embark on a career through classes or other experiences like internships and apprenticeships.
While Kansas schools aren't yet able to offer coursework in all 36 pathways, they're working on expanding their programs and building partnerships with that goal in mind.
"The connection to future goals hopefully helps motivate students to work harder and enroll in more rigorous courses related to the field they're interested in," said Roberts.
Why Should Parents Care?
The model is part of a national movement to help youth identify their skills and natural aptitudes rather than simply focus on their interests. Learn the difference.
"Lots of people want to ask what kids are interested in," said Stacy Smith, assistant director at KSDE. "You could say you enjoy football and you're going to grow up to be a quarterback for the Denver Broncos, but in reality that's a very narrow slice of opportunity — your student may have an interest, but not the aptitude or the skills. How do we help students understand where their skills are and how they might become aptitudes?"
Simply put, by taking a more comprehensive, holistic view of what it takes to make a career successful — interests and skills — schools nationwide are broadening occupational training to include topics beyond traditional vocational fields. This often results in a career that's personally and financially rewarding.
"When we were growing up, those vocational training paths aligned with what were traditionally called 'blue collar jobs' like welding or plumbing," Smith said. These opportunities are still important for students, but today we have taken that strategy — which is highly effective — and applied it to other occupations like health care and IT. We call these 'gold collar jobs,' because there's a little bling that comes with that paycheck — many of these jobs pay really well."
These jobs are also more readily available in Kansas than some others are. Nationally, there are 79 identified career pathways, but not all of them make sense for Kansas workers. The 36 pathways Kansas has adopted align with our state's economy and workforce, according to Smith.
"You can earn a good living as a sound designer or as a theatrical performer, but the demand for those occupations in Kansas isn't at a scale our economy can support," Smith said.
What's My Role as a Parent?
I asked how I might help support career exploration as a parent, and Roberts had some recommendations.
"When kids are learning about fields, clusters and pathways, we'd love for parents to be having conversations at home using the same language," she said. "Ask your children what they did at that career fair or what they learned about on the field trip. Ask what they liked or didn't like about what they learned — it's all about the communication."
When kids get to high school, it's also about knowing what's on the petals of the flower and which of those clusters and pathways the child has an aptitude for. Many districts use software like Xello, Naviance or YouScience to help kids determine their natural strengths. Roberts added that parents can introduce different pathways to their child outside of school, and they can even work with school counselors to help their kids get started down paths they're interested in as part of their formal academic plan of study.
"Learn what the school has to offer, what pathways are available there and what options there are in your community if it comes to volunteering somewhere or getting a job shadowing experience," she said. "Watch for things that spark conversations."
If your child's high school doesn't offer classes based on their pathway of interest, Roberts suggested checking with local technical schools or community colleges to see if any dual-credit courses are available. In many cases, high school students can take college courses for both high school and college credit, and sometimes students can even take such classes at no cost to the student's family.
The Pathway Less Traveled
While the established KSDE framework provides structure and direction for K-12 public schools, it's meant to serve as guidance rather than a strict mandate on how a young person should explore career possibilities. According to Smith, the Kansas Career Sunflower is a great way to begin thinking about the journey that's in front of students — it's just not the only way.
"Each student is unique and their journey can be as unique as they need it to be," he said. "We have 36 pathways, but that doesn't mean a student can't create their own pathway by merging the experiences they find throughout the courses. It's up to the student, his or her parents and school counselors to find those 'a la carte' experiences that allow the child to play, learn about and ultimately decide if they want to invest in a career path down the road."
Alison Rogers is a content marketer at New Boston Creative Group, the brains behind HirePaths. She has a 12-year-old son named Sam who wants to be a meteorologist someday so he can chase tornadoes professionally. She's hoping he'll find an interest in another career pathway before he graduates!

My wife decided to bake chocolate cupcakes and make chocolate frosting. She loves to bake, the funny part is she is not big on eating sweets.
In a saucepan, heat the milk and stir in the cocoa until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and allow to cool down.
In a second bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In a third bowl, using a mixer, combine the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Stir in the flour mixture until combine. Add and combine until smooth the cocoa mixture. Carefully add in the chocolate chips and stir them in.
Line muffin pan with paper liners and fill each 3/4 with batter. Bake for 20 minutes. Then remove from the oven and allow to cool.
In a double boiler melt the chocolate and butter together until smooth. Add the milk and stir. Slowly add in while stirring the sugar, allowing the heat to melt the sugar crystals. Keep stirring until smooth. Do not allow to boil or burn. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Place in piping bag, and using your favorite tip, decorate your cakes.
Enjoy with icecream or a glass of milk.
My wife loves to bake. She made a cake from fresh lemons and ginger. It is light and refreshing. To top it, she took apricot preserves and shaved white chocolate into it. It was very good. To top it off, I made a Chambord sabayon.
A fresh and simple fruit plate.
I have always enjoyed fresh ingredients. And I thought that a great way to start my new blog would be to show a couple of the fruit plates I have done for my friends and family. Granted these plates look fancy, but for me they are fun and easy.
You will notice with this plate the way the fruit is cut. Simple knife skills can make a huge difference in presentation. And it is always important to have a sharp knife, a dull knife will just leave you open to a possible accident. In the top left corner I used the pineapple top as a garnish but cutting the leaves off and placing the grapes around it. This fruit plate was for my wife to take to a gathering.
You can also have fun with the fruit. In this photo from 2010, I cut the watermelon to look like a fish hook. I used the pineapple tops to accent the rest of the tray. It looked great with the fishing theme wedding shower my wife and I hosted for her brother and his fiance.


Bubble-blowing Brontosauri? Yep, Taito's crazy arcade game featuring the fun-loving Bub and Bob has finally made it onto the Spectrum. The troublesome two are off to rescue their lady friends, who are lost within a string of prehistoric caves.
Each cave consists of a screen filled with platforms, and Bub and Bob progress from one cave to the next when the entire screen has been cleared of the killer cave-dwellers.
Though Bubble Bobble can be played by just one person it is ideally for two simultaneous players; when two-player mode is selected Bub and Bob appear onscreen and shortly after that the hostile cave-dwellers emerge and rush around the network of platforms.
Now the fun begins — if the bronto jumps up and pops the bubble with his tough horny head, the creature within bounces around the screen, stunned, and turns into a banana which can be collected for an extra score. However, if a bubble with a creature in isn't burst quickly the prisoner escapes and rushes around the screen in a strop looking for the responsible brontosaurus.
Another hazard which appears if a screen isn't cleared quickly enough is the dreaded Baron von Blubba, an indestructible horror who'll track down the heroic dinos and give them his fatal touch if all the other creatures aren't destroyed very rapidly.
Throughout a level, bubbles float up from the bottom of the screen. Some are water-filled and when they're burst they cause a miniflood which pours down the screen, sweeping away any creature that stands in its path. Other bubbles contain letters, and an extra life is awarded to the lucky pair if they can form the word 'E X T E N D'. Occasionally sauras treats appear, either giving extra points or endowing the prehistoric pair with special powers.

Recently retired Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf has resigned as a board member of Target and Chevron.
Regulatory filings from both companies on Tuesday contained the news.
"Mr. Stumpf resigned for personal reasons and not as a result of a disagreement with Chevron," Chevron's filing said. Target did not cite a reason.
Wells Fargo last week announced Stumpf's retirement from the bank after a scandal erupted over the improper opening of over 2 million fake accounts between 2011 and 2015. He had served at the bank for 34 years.
Stumpf's departure from Wells Fargo came just two weeks after lawmakers, most notably Sen. Elizabeth Warren, called for his resignation. Lawmakers had also suggested splitting the roles of chairman and CEO.

The people of Mudville love their high school football team.
Grunt! Oompf! Ugh!
Their beloved Mudville Hawks have always been the pride of the town…until one game, everything changed.
Gasp! Oh no! What?
At the most critical point, in the biggest game of the season, the ref blew his whistle once more.
Tweee! Delay of game!
What?!!? That's the fourth delay of game call!
Cletus! Get in there. Tell them to run the split back veer right.
And hurry! Get that play off!
What's going on? They never left the huddle!
Tweee!!! Delay of game!
Okay, that's enough. Time out, ref!
What's the big idea? Don't you realize this is the most critical play in the most critical game of the season?
Sure, coach.
Well then, why can't you get off a play?
You see, coach, it's like this.
We were all set to break huddle, and Bubba said he had some personal things he needed to share with the group.
Don't you see? Bubba has never opened up like this before! I couldn't just cut him off.
But what about the game?
And then Billy Bob had a prayer request he wanted us to lift up.
I don't believe this!
Jojo Taylor then had to announce the upcoming benefit picnic for the adult children of dysfunctional gym teachers.
I tell you, everyone had something significant to share.
I have never gotten to know some of the guys this well before.
It was a deeply moving experience!
…sort of brings a tear to my eye, you know what I mean?
Moral:
Ridiculous? You bet it is!
Everyone knows the purpose of the huddle is to get ready for the next play of the game. Yet many of us in the body of Christ are so stuck in the huddle of all our "good" church activities, that we've forgotten about the "better" activity of getting into the game to win the lost for Christ.
Jesus said…
The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Matthew 9:37
Yet in most churches over 90% of membership growth today comes from church transfers rather than new converts. It's time for us to get out of the huddle and back into the game.
What activity in your schedule will you give up so you can have more time to reach the lost?
Put me in coach. I'm itching to play.
Scratch, scratch.

Missguided Is Selling a $1.26 Bikini Through Its U.K. Website, and Fashion Experts Say That's a Problem
"We need to ensure that any garment we buy will be loved, used, and cherished for years, not just days or weeks."
Teen Vogue is celebrating the start of summer with a series of stories on all things swim. From the latest trends to buying the perfect suit, find everything you need to know here.
Finding a good deal on your favorite swimsuit is always a welcome occasion. However, some users of social media shared speculation and concern regarding the environmental impact of a bikini retailing for £1, or $1.26 in U.S. dollars, on Missguided, an online clothing retailer. The bikini, which Dazed reports was released last week, is a solid black set with a top and bottom. The bikini is currently only available through the store's U.K. website.
A bikini that retails for less than your average trip to Starbucks certainly sounds appealing, but as one Twitter user pointed out, the product is created with 85 percent polyester, a material that may contribute to microfiber pollution. As Teen Vogue previously reported, polyester can be released into water and air simply by washing or wearing the clothing. In turn, polyester along with other microfibers, can contribute to pollution, especially when fish consume water tainted with those microfibers.
https://twitter.com/Missguided/status/1139264940731240453
https://twitter.com/AmyleighCraigg/status/1139812277010489344
In an emailed statement to Teen Vogue, Missguided addressed concern, saying, "We launched the £1 bikini as a promotional item to celebrate 10 years of empowering women to look and feel good without breaking the bank. It cost us more to produce than £1 and we're absorbing the costs so we can offer it at an incredible price as a gift to our customers. There has been no compromise with this bikini - it is sourced to the same high standards as all of our other products."
We spoke to some fashion experts about the environmental impact of buying something like a $1 bikini.
Sarah Ditty, policy director at Fashion Revolution, further explained the impact of purchasing a product that's compromised mostly of polyester. "The problem is the message this sends about the value of our clothing," she tells Teen Vogue. "This is a huge environmental problem because we are already sending too many clothes to landfill and incineration, about one garbage truckful every second. Plus, the fashion industry accounts for more carbon emissions than shipping and air travel combined and our polyester clothes are polluting our seas."
She encouraged consumers to look past the price, no matter how low it may be. "We need to ensure that any garment we buy will be loved, used, and cherished for years, not just days or weeks," Sarah said. "This is why, when garments are priced as cheaply as single-use items, it sends the message that our clothing is disposable. And if we buy that message, we are buying into a very ugly side of fashion."
Patricia Maeda, womenswear editor of Fashion Snoops, explained how fast-fashion items, like the bikini, can contribute to an ongoing approach to clothing where our most affordable items become the most easy to get rid of. "Fast fashion is a fast-response system that encourages disposability, leading to the premature obsolescence of commodities," she told Teen Vogue. "Due to its extremely low cost, the likelihood of shoppers tossing away the bikini once they get tired of it is pretty high. Central to this discussion, however, are the devastating environmental consequences such as pollution effects, resource drawdown, and waste, as well as the importance of corporate responsibility, ethical business practices, and our own agency as consumers."
In a previous explainer, Teen Vogue detailed how fast fashion is often dependent on the labor of factory workers. Many fast-fashion companies rely on outsourced labor to produce their items, and much of these employees reside in developing countries. In the past, fast-fashion companies have come under fire for the working conditions at factories they use and the underpayment of factory employees.
It is worth recognizing that in some cases, affordable fashion options might be the only items that can fit in someone's budget. As Orsola de Castro, co-founder, and creative director of Fashion Revolution explained, "There are very few options to navigate this situation, but lengthening the lifespan of cheap clothing by caring for them is one way of demanding better quality of product and a better life for its makers." Additionally, she encouraged consumers to demand more from the brands they choose to support, saying, "Keep speaking up and asking questions, even if there absolutely aren't enough satisfactory answers."
There's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to save some money, especially when it comes to clothing. But instead of reaching for the cheapest item on the rack, consider whether you truly need the piece in your closet and whether it will be something that's part of your outfit rotation for years to come. Taking small steps as consumers, whether it's more thoughtful washing practices or reading the labels before you purchase an item can all help create a more sustainable future for fashion.

I don't see security the benefit that outweighs the load on tor.
load on Tor is invalid: Tor Project does is okay with that. They support apt onion sources. The only load they don't want is the endless upload by file sharing.
@Patrick have you considered following tails and using onion sources?
Yes. We go all onion by default. One day.
can there be a legitimate case where someone wants to build Whonix while at the same time being surprised it connected to the Tor network while doing so?
I am undecided how to do this. But this can be sorted at the right time.

Since 1990, Barcelona and its surroundings have witnessed an influx of immigrants from Latin America and the Caribbean. In this chapter, based on ethnographic fieldwork carried out in both America and Europe over the last ten years, 1 I aim to analyse this diaspora from a citizenship perspective, focusing on the role of Afro-American cults in the migratory processes of Venezuelans in Barcelona and in the claims they make for cultural, political, social, and legal recognition. Using this specific case, this chapter shows how religious practices can achieve a decidedly political role – both in the private and public spheres – during migratory processes. But before analysing two specific rituals carried out in Barcelona, it is important to define what Afro-American cults 2 are and how these are associated with the notions of transnationalism, diaspora, and global citizenship.

Le Parti socialiste (PS) est un parti politique sénégalais.

Cette formation a notamment gouverné le pays de 1960 à 2000, au travers des deux premiers présidents de la République du Sénégal, Léopold Sédar Senghor et Abdou Diouf, qui en sont issus.

Histoire
Le , Léopold Sédar Senghor fonde le Bloc démocratique sénégalais (BDS), à la suite d'une scission avec la Section française de l'Internationale ouvrière. Pour accroître son influence, le BDS s'appuie largement sur les autorités religieuses et tribales. Cette capacité à réunir de nombreux groupes ethniques différents, ainsi que le charisme personnel de Senghor, propulsent le BDS au premier plan de la scène politique sénégalaise d'avant l'indépendance.

En , le Bloc démocratique sénégalais fusionne avec le l'Union démocratique sénégalaise, le Mouvement autonome casamançais et une fraction du Mouvement populaire sénégalais mené par Abdoulaye Thiaw pour donner naissance au Bloc populaire sénégalais. Léopold Sédar Senghor est alors désigné comme leader politique et Mamadou Dia comme secrétaire général du nouveau parti.

En 1958, le BPS fusionne avec le Parti socialiste d'action sénégalaise de Lamine Guèye pour donner naissance à l'Union progressiste sénégalaise.

En  le parti intègre l'Internationale socialiste. En décembre de la même année il prend le nom de Parti socialiste.

Lors des élections législatives de 2001, le PS recueille , soit 17,4 %, et obtient  sur les 120 que compte alors l'Assemblée nationale du Sénégal.

Le PS est l'un des partis ayant choisi le boycott lors des élections législatives de 2007. Lors de l'élection présidentielle de 2007, son candidat Ousmane Tanor Dieng, n'arrive qu'en troisième position au premier tour. Cinq ans plus tard, le même candidat se place à la quatrième place du scrutin. Cette baisse d'influence culmine à l'élection présidentielle de 2019, quand le Parti socialiste, allié du président sortant Macky Sall et fragilisé par la dissidence d'une des anciennes figures, le maire de Dakar Khalifa Sall, incarcéré pour détournement de fonds publics, décide, pour la première fois depuis l'instauration de la république sénégalaise, de ne pas présenter de candidat.

C'est un parti de gauche, membre de l'Internationale socialiste.

Le PS se présente comme « l'organisation des ouvriers, paysans et autres travailleurs, intellectuels et manuels du Sénégal, sans distinction d'ethnie, de religion, d'origine, de sexe ni d'âge ». Opposé à toute forme d'oppression de classe et de caste, par la conquête du pouvoir politique, la socialisation des moyens de production et d'échange, il prône l'instauration d'une société communautaire et d'une véritable démocratie au service du peuple. Tout en se réclamant de la méthode socialiste, il entend bien « intégrer dans le socialisme, les valeurs culturelles de l'Afrique noire, en général, du Sénégal en particulier. »

Symboles
Ses symboles sont le lion et l'étoile rouge à 5 branches sur fond vert.

Organisation
Son siège se trouve à Dakar (Hann Bel-Air).

Mouvements
Les différents mouvements du Parti socialiste sont :
 le Mouvement national des Jeunesses socialistes ;
 le Mouvement des jeunes socialistes du Sénégal en Europe ;
 le Mouvement des élèves et étudiants socialistes ;
 le Mouvement des femmes socialistes.

Aminata Mbengue Ndiaye est la présidente du mouvement des femmes du Parti socialiste.

City ready to write zero by 50 waste reduction plan
Chase Jones, the city's energy conservation and climate action coordinator, will lead a series of community listening sessions next month to begin writing a plan to achieve the City Council's "ZERO by FIFTY" waste reduction goals. (Martin Kidston/Missoula Current)
One year ago, the City Council adopted a zero-waste strategy that set an ambitious goal of reducing Missoula's waste stream by 90 percent by the year 2050.
It also directed city staff to develop a strategy to achieve that goal, and it gave them two years to do it. The clock has been ticking ever since.
"It asked us to conduct a baseline waste study so we can understanding how much waste our community is sending to the landfill, what it's made of and where it's coming from," Chase Jones, the city's energy conservation and climate action coordinator, said on Monday. "We're working on that right now with Republic services."
The city's resolution defines zero waste as a means to design and manage "products and processes" that avoid or eliminate the volume of materials sent to the landfill each year. It also looks to reduce the toxicity of those materials and find ways to conserve or recovery all resources.
Nothing would be burned or buried under the long-term goal. That means cutting back on consumption, reducing what's thrown away and reusing products where possible.
"What's left after that we can hopefully recycle," said Jones. "The theory is, if you do those three things really well, then there's little to nothing to be sent to the landfill."
According to the city's resolution, the Missoula Landfill receives more than 210,000 tons of garbage each year. That increases greenhouse gases as it decomposes and wastes precious resources, which maintains the demand for toxic products.
At the current rate, the local landfill is expected to last just 15 years. Achieving community goals through reduction and broader recycling could lead to spin-off business opportunities, the City Council believes.
"I think there will be policy program and infrastructure recommendations in this plan," Jones said. "In other plans we've taken a look at, they include those things as well."
Over the next two weeks, the city, its partner Home ReSource and the Zero Waste Advisory Committee will hit the streets with a series of listening sessions aimed at the city's "ZERO by FIFTY" initiative.
That includes the incremental steps of hitting a 30 percent waste reduction by 2025 and 40 percent by 2030. Jones said the team looks to compile the feedback from the listening sessions and best national practices in a final plan by the end of this year.
"We'll take the information we get from those meetings to create a draft of the plan," said Jones. "Then we'll go back out in early fall for public comment on the draft to make sure we heard everyone and heard their concerns."
The sessions include:
– Thursday, March 2, from 6-8 p.m. at Missoula Federal Credit Union located at 3600 Brooks St.
– Tuesday, March 7, from 6-8 p.m. at the Burns Street Center at 1500 Burns St.
– Wednesday, March 8, from 6-8 p.m. at the Missoula Public Library at 301 E. Main St.

Its time to start ticketing rogue parkers again and return the sidewalks to the public. This being Los Angeles, the reason for the parkway parking debacle is a combination of competing priorities, lawsuits and bureaucratic delays. In 2011, the city was facing several lawsuits accusing Los Angeles of violating the Americans with Disabilities Act by failing to maintain the sidewalks in a safe condition and by allowing people to park in driveway aprons the sloped space between the sidewalk and street potentially impeding disabled people trying to use the walkway. In response, the city began ticketing cars parked in the aprons. Residents were furious that their longstanding practice was suddenly unlawful. view publisher siteThe City Council sided with the residents and directed the Department of Transportation to stop issuing tickets. But the order went further, applying to cars parked on the parkways, which the city defined as both the apron and the strip of land between the sidewalk and curb. It was supposed to be a temporary halt in enforcement while the city drafted separate rules for parkways and driveway aprons. But five years later, parkways that once were grassy have been flattened and rutted by tires. Some building owners have even installed pylons and posts to block cars from driving up onto sidewalks and parkways in search of parking space.


With only a little over a month to go before Windsor City Council turns lame duck, thoughts begin to turn to election day.
I do think we should offer some of our current councilors a job in city administration somewhere - pushing paper and punching a calculator - the very things that some people in this city mistake for political leadership but are best suited for obedient employment, perhaps in civil service.
I want to hear our candidates tell me something OTHER than that they are going to sharpen pencils, go through the budget line-by-line, or share their vast business experience in setting annual budgets and keeping taxes low. We've had enough of that.
I want to hear what our candidates see as the future of our city, and where they intend to show leadership. Here are three areas to consider your vision.
What's it like to run/own a business in Windsor? The tax question could come up here, too. Beyond taxation, are the rules and regulations onerous? How serious are we about downtown Windsor?
What's can a visitor to Windsor expect? Are we committed to tourism infrastructure, promotion and marketing our city and area? Are there things to do, places to go? Are we actively working to improve access to the city by air and rail and border crossing?
Candidates for council should share their vision for Windsor, and these three areas are just one way to consider the future under your leadership, should you be elected.
Don't tell us you're going to slash the budget and meddle in the details unless you're applying for a management job at City Hall. And an elected seat at the table is NOT for the micro-managers among us - it's for the servant-leaders we are so desperately seeking.

NATIONAL CHAMPION SPARTANS OPEN SEASON AGAINST RIVAL ALBERTA
LANGLEY, B.C. – The national champion Trinity Western men's volleyball team will launch its title defence on the road against fellow Canada West power Alberta in a monster season-opening matchup Oct. 18-19. The Spartans return home the following weekend to host Winnipeg Oct. 25-26 at the Langley Events Centre.
While a variety pack of exciting home matches await the Spartan Faithful, the home weekend everyone will have circled on the calendar is Jan. 31 and Feb. 1, when TWU hosts Brandon in a rematch of last year's U SPORTS championship final, which the Spartans won in three sets, and last year's Canada West final, which the Bobcats won in five sets. Last year, Brandon topped the regular season standings with a 20-2 record while the Spartans were second in CW with an 18-4 mark.
Beyond hosting Brandon and Winnipeg, TWU's home schedule also features weekend dates with MacEwan (Nov. 1-2), Saskatchewan (Nov. 22-23), Mount Royal (Jan. 10-11) and UBC Okanagan (Jan. 17-18). Of those four opponents, Mount Royal (15-7) and Saskatchewan (12-10) are the on-paper standouts as they both finished the 2018-19 regular season amongst the top five in the conference, with MRU making it to last year's Canada West semifinals.
On the road, the Spartans will travel to play Manitoba (Nov. 15-16), Calgary (Nov. 28-29), UBC (Jan. 24-25) and Thompson Rivers (Feb. 14-15). TWU's season-ending weekend will be a rematch of last year's semifinals in which the Spartans ended the WolfPack's season with back-to-back victories at the LEC. The weekend set with the T-Birds is also a playoff rematch from last year, as TWU beat UBC in a three-match quarter-final series.
The Spartans 22-match schedule features 12 home games, 10 road games and three bye weekends (Nov. 8-9, Jan. 3-4 and Feb. 7-8).
Winners of three of the last four U SPORTS championships, the Spartans enter the 2019-20 season on a quest for their seventh national title in program history. The University of Manitoba will host this year's championship tournament Mar. 12-15.
For fans looking to watch every conference game, 2019-20 Canada West TV passes are now on sale, with the best early-bird pricing available until the end of June. An all-access pass ($79.99), or a volleyball sport pass ($31.99), can be purchased by clicking here.

Mayo Clinic scientists, doctors and surgeons develop liver transplant insights and innovations that make transplants safer and available to more people. They are actively involved in conducting laboratory studies, clinical trials and other research on every aspect of conditions related to liver transplants.
Bioartificial liver. This innovation helps patients cope as they await a donor liver. Developed by Mayo Clinic doctors and researchers, new bioartificial livers use living cells from pig livers to filter a patient's blood in a process similar to that of kidney dialysis. The device is being tested before it becomes available in clinics and hospitals.
Magnetic resonance elastography. This innovative technology was developed by Mayo Clinic doctors and researchers as a noninvasive way to test for liver scarring. Someday it may reduce the need for liver biopsies in people with liver disease.
Immunosuppressive medications. This research examines the effect of antibody-mediated injury in liver-kidney transplants and how doing a multiorgan transplant may actually result in better outcomes.
Maximizing organ donors. Transplant physicians found that people with liver cancer have the same beneficial outcomes using organs donated by patients who died of cardiac death rather than brain death.
Cell therapies for liver disease. This research offers potential new treatments for several liver diseases and may improve the success of liver transplantation.
Triage system. Mayo Clinic researchers originally proposed, designed and tested the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD). This system prioritizes people waiting for a transplant based on the severity of their condition and how urgently they may need a transplant.

With a powerful 1 horse power motor, heavy-duty stainless steel blades, and epoxy-coated solid steel housing, the Mega Pro blender was built for the demands of bars and restaurants. You'll want it at home for its high-speed performance, ease of operation, and no-nonsense industrial styling. Engineered for easier, more complete blending, chopping, and pureeing, it revs up to a remarkable 27,000 rpm's so you can crush ice to any consistency and pulverize frozen ingredients in seconds. Time-tested under commercial conditions.
Serious looking but simple to operate, MegaMix makes blending a pleasure. Built for professional bars, commercial kitchens, and smoothie shops, the MegaMix commercial blender by Waring is the choice when only the best will do. Waring puts a full horse of extra power into this blender to crush ice and pulverize frozen ingredients in a matter of seconds.
A real time saver, this blender is a workhorse that can blend soups and sauces, as well as ice, slushy drinks, and ice-cold smoothies. The 27,000-RPM motor runs much faster than other blenders, allowing you to prepare shakes, pina coladas, and favorite coffee drinks in record time. A solid cover houses the powerful two-speed motor that crushes ice to any consistency. Just toggle "high", toggle "low", or toggle "off". The heavy-duty blade and blade assembly are time tested under bar and restaurant demands, and are housed in an extra-large, dishwasher safe and durable, 48-ounce plastic jar.
My 20yr old Vitamix 3600 finally gave out and the parts are no longer made/offered on the website. Time for something new I figured. I did want a powerful replacement but did not want to spend several hundred dollars on it. The Waring HPB300 blender absolutely is not a Vitamix BUT it is an acceptable replacement in my opinion. Yes, I got the new motor smell still (should be gone soon) and the high setting is ear splitting but so was my previous machine on high. Don't use high and you won't miss it. The low setting does a very fine job with my fruit smoothes and veg drinks coming out great. The smaller sized container fills up quickly but with a careful eye it is manageable and it is super easy to clean and store. I find with all the fruit on the bottom and the ice piled on top I can start the blender without the lid in place and then quickly put it on as the ice cubes dip below the jars top edge. This is an advanced technique yes but one easily mastered and necessary (for me anyway) to produce full sized servings. Try at your own risk. Personally I like the tough/light plastic container and wouldn't want glass or SS. The slightly too tight lid is fitting better/easier with every passing day now too. Ice and almonds (2 tuffies) come out blended incredibly smooth every time. I also use different kinds of frozen berries (the big bags from Costco are great) with fresh apples/bananas/yams/ and they all blend quickly into a frothy smooth healthy morning breakfast drink. With some yogurt and a raw egg tossed in it lasts me until lunch.
UPDATE: Been a couple months now, here are some additional notes: The new blender/motor smell is finally gone, took at least 2 weeks of using every day. Maybe because I don't use the high setting it took longer but no biggie really. IMPORTANT-KEEP YOUR HAND ON TOP OF THE FRICKIN BLENDER for at least the first several seconds when the ice and whatever is first being blended. I fired it up a few weeks ago and turned around to put something back in the fridge and suddenly this horrible grinding noise started. The container had "jumped" halfway off the motor base. I immediately shut the unit off but my motor and counter were full of tiny bits of rubber (also large bits of ice and fruit) and a bad burning smell filled the air. I cleaned everything up and surveyed the damage. Most of the rubber was stripped from the motor coupling but no real performance issues or damage. My own fault, a MAJOR rookie mistake. It only takes 30 seconds to blend most things so don't walk away. Tough blender however as its still working fine. I will eventually have to replace the coupling I am sure but I'm not going to fix something that works. Still give the blender a top recommendation, just be smarter than me and you'll do fine. Note to Waring....REALLY NEED that larger container now ok?
LAST UPDATE: Change up....After reading countless reviews saying this blenders containers do not last very long I am forced to agree. After 11 months of average usage my second carafe blade seal started leaking into the motor just like the first one did . I am pretty miffed at this quality problem and I am NOT going to buy a THIRD carafe for this blender. This newer carafe lasted less than 11 months and it was $60. The Waring warranty is for the motor only and I didn't think about having to buy a new container every year when I bought this. I am feeling a bit played right now. Waring... you have lost a customer and no longer get my endorsement. I now label this unit NOT RECOMMENDED due to widespread problems with its containers.
I am going back to the Vita-mix site and pick out one of their reconditioned 5200 models, as my first Vita-mix was also a recon unit and lasted many many years. With their complete 5yr warranty and proven quality I seem to have come full circle now and believe Vita-mix is the smart way to go.
Loved, loved this blender for 7 months (purchased on Amazon April 2012). We used it almost daily to make smoothies. Ingredients: bananas, frozen strawberries, yogurt and orange juice. Simple, but nutritious and delicious. The blender did an outstanding job: made everything very, very smooth and did it quickly. Only initial complaint: noise. The motor sounds like a jet engine. But the real complaint is that, after 7 months, the bottom assembly of the blender came apart during use--the metal portion that connects the blender and the motor literally came off and heated up with friction so fast that it was untouchable. Ripped the bottom part of the blender up and really ruined the whole unit. Very disappointed. Am sending off for repair and will post details of that experience later.
UPDATE 12/29/2012: Waring replaced blender and all is working well again. I shipped complete blender (including base, container and top). They shipped back everything but the top very, very quickly (about a week). It took 2 additional emails and about 2 more weeks, but I got a top shipped to me as well. I'm hopeful that the jar will not fail again--I've carefully followed the cleaning instructions, never placed any part of blender in the dishwasher and treated it gently. It has been used almost daily. Will update again if anything changes.
UPDATE 6/22/2013: Blender still working fine. The motor is still extremely loud, but that's been remedied by using ear plugs while operating. It effortlessly turns frozen fruit into a smoothie pretty much every morning for two people.
UPDATE 7/26/2013: Blender came apart again. This time I was able to keep it from ripping the bottom apart. The metal gear on the bottom of the blender carafe came completely off. I screwed it back on again and was able to complete my smoothie, but this does not bode well for the long-term life of the blender. Would never recommend this product to anyone.
UPDATE 8/24/2013: Blender carafe started leaking during making of morning smoothie. Gasket ripped apart. Debating what to do. Very disappointed. Motor still seems great, but new carafes are expensive, especially if I can count on it coming apart every few months.
UPDATE 2/6/2014: Broke down and purchased a new carafe. Has worked fine, but expect a failure any time now. This is the 3rd carafe. If/When this carafe dies, we'll be upgrading to a different blender.
UPDATE 5/16/2014: Well, the 3rd carafe has now outlasted the base. A very disappointing blender purchased two years ago. 3 carafes (came with one, replaced one via factory warranty; purchased 3rd from Amazon) and a base that required replacement that has now died as well. What a letdown from a "professional" blender.

Representing furries in 2018 with 10,000 at Midwest Furfest, Dogbomb's magic, and more (Part 2)
Being fluffy is its own reward. Fun and creativity don't need representing. What is this, a religion? But if a spotlight happens, it could be for hard work to help others, a lucky chance, or having the right dance moves at the right time. Chasing attention might not be necessary, but it's nice to show how cool this group is because that helps make it cooler. So here's why the fandom is great in 2018.
Part 1 had good media: CNN's This Is Life with Lisa Ling, Sonicfox at The Game Awards in Los Angeles, and Bucktown Tiger on Jeopardy. For Part 2 here's conventions, charity, art, celebrities, awards, spending, and more.
Conventions and charity:
Midwest FurFest got the first five-figure furry con attendance! It took 29 years since ConFurence 0 to match the biggest WorldCon (started in 1939, that's perhaps one of the longest running nerd events, where they hand out fancy awards like the Hugos). Now we're giving Science Fiction fandom a run for its money. It's not on Comic Con level and may never be (…good?) but that's millions of dollars of support to build and share the wealth. And furry is still grassroots with little outside investment and high DIY power.
Corgi Events Is the Fandom's First Convention Management Company – By Grubbs Grizzly
by Dogpatch Press Staff
Grubbs Grizzly is known for his "Ask Papabear" advice column, and Greymuzzles group popular among the original generation of fandom. He's at work on The Furry Book and made The Good Furry Award for furs who demonstrate outstanding community spirit. Nominate one for a $1000 prize! Thanks to Grubbs for this guest article.
Corgi Events appeared here for their con Aquatifur. They made the fandom applaud in August 2018 when Denfur filled the vacancy left by RMFC. All eyes were on them when Denfur's first year beat attendance estimates by double, as high as RMFC would have grown if it still existed. More than a mere numbers success, it represented fans rejecting bad behavior that ruined its predecessor, and embracing the ideal of a community. For that I would give Corgi Events all the support I can.
(UPDATE 1: a twist in the story shortly after publishing makes me modify this to say I support fandom and its members, volunteers and community that makes cons happen for the love of it. UPDATE 2: the issue is resolved.) – Patch
Corgi Events Is the Fandom's First Convention Management Company
By Grubbs Grizzly
The history of furry conventions is an interesting one indeed, one that was recently written about by the late, great furry historian and book critic Fred Patten in his Furry Fandom Conventions, 1989-2015. As anyone who has read that book or is familiar with convention history knows, it all started with Confurence 0 in Costa Mesa, California, in 1989. After a couple years, new conventions started opening their doors. The phenomenon has snowballed until now there are nearly 100 conventions worldwide.
Up until recently, one thing fur cons had in common was that they were operated independently of one another. Often these would be organized by local fans, perhaps sharing crew with other events, but based in one community. Each would be organized by—typically—a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in the United States.
But the other day my attention was drawn to a company called Corgi Events LLC, when I heard its announcement of a new fur con in Irvine, California, to be called Golden State Fur Con. GSFC is debuting next year, along with another Corgi-created con, the Painted Desert Fur Con in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Reading this, bells started ringing in my fuzzy bear ears. Was Corgi trying to replace Califur, which failed to hold a convention this year, and may or may not in 2019? And Phoenix (Scottsdale is a suburb) already has the young Arizona Fur Con. Next, I saw that Corgi also runs DenFur, which has effectively replaced the failed Rocky Mountain Fur Con. The chosen locations look strategic, and multi-con management over distance is a departure from the furry norm.
