The JLA/JSA Team-Ups: Some Observations
Posted by Philip Portelli on February 5, 2011 at 9:43pm in Mr. Silver Age
I was going to do a thread on my FIVE favorite Justice League/Justice Society team-ups when I discovered that I couldn't pick just five! So I'm going to write about all of them. These won't be synopses since I am assuming that everyone is familar with them, thanks to the Justice League Archives and the Crisis On Multiple Earths TPBs. This will just be my personal recollections and observations with a few facts. I'll start in the Mister Silver Age sub-heading then continue in my Fan of Bronze.
The first seven team-ups were written, of course, by Gardner Fox and the first six illustrated by Mike Sekowsky.
JUSTICE LEAGUE #21-22 (Au-S'63): The Crisis on Earth One & The Crisis on Earth Two
The JLA: This was the only JLA/JSA meeting that the Martian Manhunter played a part in the Silver Age.
Green Arrow meets his future love interest, the Black Canary. Naturally no reaction.
Both Flashes are taken out of the story early since they already had three team-ups in Flash.
The JSA: Instead of including Wonder Woman and Doctor Mid-Nite, Fox revived Doctor Fate and Hourman, neither seen since WWII.
Doctor Fate-restored with his full golden helmet, something that Silver Age readers would not know or even Bronze Age ones since DC would only reprint one Dr.Fate story with his half-helmet! But his gloves would be missing for awhile.
Hawkman-was revived wearing a hawk helmet in Flash #137 yet returned to wearing his yellow cowl. He appeared in Justice League before his Silver Age counterpart, even though he was mentioned in #3.
Black Canary-her marital arts skills and amulet devices are highlighted.
Hourman and the Atom--neither's super-strength is mentioned.
Green Lantern-seemed to hit it off with Hal Jordan right away.
The Villains: The Crime Champions are a great idea but...
Chronos takes on Batman, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman!
The Icicle goes one-on-one with Doctor Fate!
The Fiddler is bald and wears a wig. Take that, Luthor!
The Icicle looks like Groucho Marx! "Last night, I shot Green Lantern in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I'll never know!"
The Crime Champions have a HQ between the Earths in "a great sphere of vibratory energy" that is multi-leveled and tastely furnished. Their civvies however leave a lot to be desired!
Some Notes: The golden, chained cages that the two teams are trapped in #22 was ripped off inspired by Mystery In Space #18 from 1954!
While the two groups meet, they do not team-up until the end when sixteen heroes gang up on six villains.
The Crime Champions do not return until the 80s!

I agree, for some reason they're acting like it's a mystery, when Adam and Alanna are standing there in front of us in their nearly typical costumes with their backs turned. Who else COULD it be?
That's the explanation for the bad layout, so the question is why they decided to do it that way. Why not have them in silhouettes with question marks on them if they wanted it to be a secret? It sure isn't the way they did it, it's just a bad cover for a fairly big event.

Hardly a mystery since Adam was cover featured on the previous issue but this way the kids (like me) could still see the Justice League!
Of course, I agree that Hawkman should have been the best man but there was always lingering pockets of Bat-mania around the DC offices! I thought it odd that Hawkgirl was so prominent on the cover when she only makes a cameo on the last panel! But it was a nice touch to include her!
Since Batman was as preoccupied in #121 as Superman was in #102, Wonder Woman went with the free one who could pay attention to her. Trinity, indeed!

Now that I think of it, GA also had a brief back-up gig in THE FLASH, shortly after the GL/GA comic was canceled. It was a story that apparently was planned for GL # 90, and was reconfigured so it could run as a three-part back-up. Considering that it was by the A-team of O'Neil and Adams, it was one of those occasions where the back-up was the main reason for buying the comic for those three months.
I remember that story, although, again, I read it well after the fact (I think in a DC Digest). It was an early effort to deal with the ramifications of killing. The story begins with Green Arrow chasing some crooks in a dark alley. Unfortunately, at the very moment he fires an arrow, he feels a muscle spasm, throwing off his aim, so the shaft punctures the hood through the chest, killing him dead.
Green Arrow is so shocked, so chagrined, so remorseful that he --
-- goes to a monastery?
There, he gets a lot of fortune-cookie wisdom from the head monk about being the snow that falls from the leaf, or some such.
That story never sat right with me; I always thought the right and proper thing to do would be to turn himself in and face trial, but, of course, the rules are different for superheroes. And, of course, in the years since we've had Wolverine skewering people left and right and Green Arrow, starting with Mike Grell's more "realistic" approach, puncturing people willy-nilly.
I guess that story would have been the start of some real character growth for Green Arrow. He certainly should have learned not to pop off at his more-powered cohorts on the Justice League knowing how a small thing as a tight muscle could cause him to end someone's life.
...After that 3-parter was burned off , BTW , the GL strip continued , as a recurrent feature in THE FLASH .

Actually it took a lot to faze Ollie as he handled the loss of his family fortune, the damage to his reputation, starting a relationship with a still-grieving widow, browbeating his best friend, learning his ward is a drug addict, etc with quick bursts of rage and indignation then moves on and wants the whole world to move on with him.
After his Flash appearances, Green Arrow was the back-up in Action teamed with Black Canary, though they shared their spot with the Atom and the Human Target. He later got a long running berth in World's Finest, then Detective.

Desperate Housewives of Athens
Fools for Tragedy's "Lysistrata"
Jordan Gwiazdowski, artistic director, has put together a modernized adaptation of the ancient Greek comedy.
By Jeff Grygny	- Mar 12th, 2013 04:00 am
Get a daily rundown of the top stories on Urban Milwaukee
Not many ancient Greek comedies get produced these days, and Lysistrata is especially seldom seen – maybe because its uppity women and frank raunchiness have always made people uncomfortable. But in an age of gender-reversals and anything-goes comedy, Lysistrata's time may have come.
So thinks Jordan Gwiazdowski, artistic director of Fools for Tragedy. The company will present a modernized, stripped-down version of Aristophanes' famous 5th-century B.C tale, about what happens when the women of Athens, fed up with their husbands' endless war with Sparta, decide to go on a sex strike.
Jen Gaul plays Lysistrata in Fools for Tragedy's production, representing the seventies' feminist revolutionaries.
The production imagines Greece as a reflection of current American culture, with Gwiazdowski describing each of the show's four primary women as representative of a progressive female perspective from the past. Housewife Calonice (Amber Smith) is a strong sixties woman, Lysistrata (Jen Gaul) represents the feminist revolution of the early seventies, Lampito (Laura Holterman) is a tough, butch, eighties rocker/biker chick, and Myrrhine (Michelle White) is a lost generation, nineties grunge girl.
Those broad-stroke characterizations make for great character roles – fully Gwiazdowski's intention. "There's a ton of strong female talent in this town, so we're putting these really rocking strong women onstage," Gwiazdowski said. "The men might be portrayed slightly oafish; that's just balancing the scales. The play is written in a time when making women seem strong was done as comedy, so the women get portrayed as slightly overboard caricatures too."
Like the original, the Fools for Tragedy production will feature some not-for-children humor, appropriate to its subject matter. "I'd say it will be a PG-13, if not R-rated production." Gwiazdowski said. "The language is a bit racy, and there will be erections onstage. I want to approach it as realistically as possible, so they won't be four feet long, but they will still be slightly exaggerated and comical."
Gwiazdowski isn't just doing this for the laughs, though. He said the production is spinning off the recent debate over women's rights and the "war on women," and has a serious relevance in the current political climate. "We talk about equality and giving women choices and a voice, but when they actually take that voice, we demonize them or push it to the side and say their view isn't really valid. I think we need to realize as a society that it's not about giving one person more power than the other; it's just about equality of voice."
Fools for Tragedy's production of Lysistrata, also featuring Gwiazdowski, Robby McGhee and Laura McDonald, will be performed March 14 to 23 at Carte Blanche Studios, with a pay-what-you-can performance March 20 to benefit a friend of the theater community in need. Tickets are $10; visit the company's Brown Paper Tickets page to order.

GlobeSt. – Housing Prices Up 19%
Banks: "The tech and entertainment culture of Los Angeles is shifting real estate's center of gravity."
LOS ANGELES—The Silicon Beach tech-industry movement has helped to fuel rapid growth in the South Bay and surrounding Beach Cities markets, according to Alison Banks, director of marketing for Playa Vista at Brookfield Residential, the developer of the highly popular Playa Vista mixed-use community project. Playa Vista made quite a few headlines this year after IMAX and Sony relocated their corporate headquarters to the Campus at Playa Vista and after Clarion Partners purchased theLatitude 34 office building for $133 million. We sat down with Banks to take a closer look at the market's growth and to find out what is attracting these companies and tenants. Here is what she had to say:
GlobeSt.com: What is driving growth in the Silicon Beach markets?
Alison Banks: The tech and entertainment culture of Los Angeles is shifting real estate's center of gravity. As the line blurs between these two fields, and as Silicon Valley seeks synergy with L.A.'s creative talent pool, Silicon Beach is the new center for both homes and headquarters.
The impact can be traced to the 2011 arrival of Google in the Frank Gehry-designed "binoculars" building in Santa Monica. It attracted a tide of high-end homebuyers and renters, including Silicon Valley leaders. The creative beach vibe spurred start-ups to seek offices and homes. Since then, growth and activity has spilled southward to the Playa Vista area.
GlobeSt.com: What has been tenant, both office and residential, response to Playa Vista? Alison Banks: On the office side, The Campus at Playa Vista has room for approximately 3 million square feet of creative office space. This is a huge component of the masterplan by Brookfield Residential. One after another, creative firms have taken root here. Google chose Playa Vista to establish YouTube Space LA, its flagship center for content creation. It is joined by the SoCal outpost for Facebook, Belkin, digital entertainment firms Konami, ICANN, Rovi, as well as Cybercoders and USC Institute for Creative Technologies. Also here is the future headquarters of IMAX, which is exiting Santa Monica.
A strong sign of financial interest in Playa Vista was real estate investment manager Clarion Partners' recent acquisition of the approximately 300,000-square-foot office complex Latitude 34. Microsoft and TMZ are neighbors in the greater Playa Vista area as is Sony Computer Entertainment, which, like IMAX, defected from Santa Monica.
The residential transformation is equally vigorous. Earlier this year, Playa Vista opened the first of its final new neighborhoods. Ultimately, 2,800 residences will be built – the largest collection of new homes Los Angeles has seen in many years. They have been quickly embraced by the tech and entertainment community, including executives who purchase homes to be near their offices. In West L.A., there are approximately three jobs for every housing unit, so closeness is a major attraction. Over 120 of these homes – most between $1 million and $2 million – have now sold.
GlobeSt.com: What is the target demographic of Playa Vista, and how have you been able to attract this demographic?
Alison Banks: The range of neighborhoods and targets here are broad, but one interesting trend is the evolution from couples to families among those already living in Playa Vista. 31% of our new buyers are couples with children, and 15% are couples planning children. For these – and buyers outside of the community – one large draw is Playa Vista Elementary School. The K-5 LAUSD "Demonstration School" is focused on STEM curriculum (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math). It's a model for teaching and learning, in partnership with Loyola Marymount University, and enjoys vigorous support from parents and the greater community.
The top fields of work include finance/real estate, healthcare, professional management, entertainment/arts and technology. Entertainment and technology combine for 20% of our buyers, the highest share. That's no surprise considering how Playa Vista has come to represent the growth of Silicon Beach.
GlobeSt.com: This is a market that has grown really rapidly within the last few years. What are the challenges to growing so quickly?
Alison Banks: High demand has pushed housing prices in the Beach Cities and South Bay about 19 percent higher than last year, according to most reports. The most dramatic growth is in the resale markets of Santa Monica and Venice. As with the office market, space is constrained in those areas.
On the office side, the adaptive reuse of "cool" industrial space is valued highly by creative tenants, and that has driven the healthier end of West L.A.'s commercial real estate market. But those types of buildings have become scarce or too small for growing companies. The relative roominess at Playa Vista is a relief valve for this pressure.
Altogether, the real-estate dimension of Silicon Beach is a huge positive. As employees and entrepreneurs put down roots close to where they work, more venture capital funds flow in, more start-ups launch, and more companies go public or expand. It's an exciting time to live and work in Silicon Beach.

Birthdays, bachelorette parties, engagements, because it's Wednesday…. So many gift ideas at Harlan Ruby!
Tis the Season to Celebrate at Harlan Ruby. It doesn't matter the time of year, Harlan Ruby has a quirky and fun way to celebrate. Birthdays, bachelorette parties, engagements, Westworld Episode Four party, Preds are playing…. really if you need it to look festive and to pop with fun, Harlan Ruby can make it happen.
How they would Describe it!
Harlan Ruby is woman-owned and operated balloon, gift, party, stationery shoppe in East Nashville, Tennessee run by mother-daughter duo: Sunny Becks & Fiona Flaherty. The shoppe is 'all color, all the time' with approximately 50% of the products being produced in-house with a neighboring workshop for classes and parties.
Sunny spent most of her entrepreneurial years running a successful hula hoop business (classes and ultimately the world's first hoop supply company) however, once her oldest daughter wrapped up her schooling at Parsons The New School for Design in NYC (and a small stint in LA) Sunny suggested Fiona launch her own brand back in her hometown of Nashville, Tennessee.
Transforming the hoop shoppe into a retail location, they quickly put Fiona's Fashion Illustration degree to use and self-produced a whimsical line of hand-illustrated, hand-lettered goods under the name Cheers Fifi. Today they continue their collaboration on other brands such as Idol Light and Nevertheless She Persisted while also producing small-batch runs for local artists.
While Harlan Ruby officially launched with 100% of the products being produced in-house, as the shop grew they began to incorporate colorful, sassy, heart-felt products inspired by the bright shops of Los Angeles Fiona fell in love with while living there. "We like to focus on colorful, forward-thinking/thoughtful companies from around the world to appeal to our people: grownups who aim to live life with a youthful atheistic".
While the shop is still young, they have been attracting the attention of fabulous people like Kacey Musgraves and Elsie Larson (A Beautiful Mess). Now it's your turn…
Come have fun with us! Hours: Monday – Friday 10-6, Saturday & Sunday 9-3. 805 Woodland Street, Suite 301 Nashville TN 37206.

Cars Alliance Auto Leases France Master
New Issue Report: Cars Alliance Auto Leases France Master: New Issue - RCI Banque issues an auto lease master transaction in France
Rating Action:
Moody's assigns definitive ratings to Notes issued by Cars Alliance Auto Leases France Master
EUR 474 million ABS Notes rated, relating to a portfolio of French auto leases
Milan, October 27, 2020 -- Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") has assigned the following definitive ratings to Notes issued by Cars Alliance Auto Leases France Master:
....EUR 150M Class A2020-1 Notes due 21 January 2021, Assigned Aaa (sf)
....EUR 150M Class A2020-2 Notes due 22 February 2021, Assigned Aaa (sf)
....EUR 174M Class A2020-3 Notes due 22 March 2021, Assigned Aaa (sf)
Moody's has not assigned a rating to the EUR 58.9M Class B Fixed Rate Notes due 2038.
RATINGS RATIONALE
Moody's may also assign ratings to future senior notes issued by Cars Alliance Auto Leases France Master (the Class A 20xx-y Notes). The issuance of subsequent series of Class A 20xx-y will be subject to compliance with a number of Conditions Precedent as per the Terms and Conditions of the Notes (such as maintaining minimum credit enhancement levels). The Class A 20xx-y legal final maturity date is October 2038.
The sum of all Class A 20xx-y Notes will not exceed a maximum amount of EUR 5,000,000,000 at any one time.
This transaction is the second French auto leases securitisation program sponsored by RCI Banque since 2002. Under this 4 years revolving cash securitisation program, the issuer securitises a pool of leases granted by DIAC S.A. ("DIAC") (NR), ultimately owned by RCI Banque (Baa2/P-2, Baa1(cr)/P-2(cr)), to individuals residing in France, in order to finance the purchase of new (92.76% at closing) and used (7.24% at closing) vehicles branded mainly Renault, Nissan and Dacia.
At closing, the portfolio of underlying assets consists of auto leases distributed through Renault-Nissan franchised auto dealers. As of September 30, 2020, the definitive portfolio consists of non-delinquent contracts with a weighted average seasoning of 16.62 months and an outstanding discounted principal balance of approximately EUR 532.8 million. The lease instalments of the lease contracts are securitized but not the residual value cash flow.
Moody's analysis focused, amongst other factors, on: (i) an evaluation of the underlying portfolio of leases and its possible evolution overtime; (ii) historical performance information of the total book and past ABS transactions; (iii) the credit enhancement provided by the dynamic subordination and the reserve fund; (iv) the liquidity support available in the transaction by way of the reserve fund; and (v) the overall legal and structural integrity of the transaction.
According to Moody's, the transaction benefits from various credit strengths such as a granular portfolio, credit enhancement provided through subordination, excess spread, and an amortising general reserve sized at 1% of Class A and B Notes balance. The general reserve will be available to cover senior costs and Class A Notes interest. At the final payment date the general reserve will also be available to cover losses on the notes of the transaction.
However, Moody's notes that the transaction features some credit weaknesses such as (i) an unrated servicer; (ii) a long revolving period (4 years) and (iii) various complexities in the structure, for example the possibility to issue short-term notes during the replenishment period. Various mitigants to operational risk are in place in the transaction, such as: (i) a dedicated servicer account isolating the money from the servicer bankruptcy estate (French "Compte a Affectation Speciale"); (ii) daily sweep of collections from the servicer account to the Issuer collection account; (iii) a separate cash manager; and (iv) an amortising liquidity reserve in place to potentially cover around 6 months of senior costs and interest coupons on the rated Notes. Performance triggers are also in place to stop the revolving period, if the deal's performance deteriorates. Certain conditions need to be satisfied in order to issue new series of notes, among them: (i) Class B Notes need to provide a minimum credit enhancement based on the pool composition; and (ii) the weighted average interest rate on Class A Notes cannot exceed 1.75%.
Moody's determined the portfolio lifetime expected defaults of 2.75% for receivables financed to purchase new cars and 4.5% for used cars, expected recoveries of 45% and Aaa portfolio credit enhancement ("PCE") of 9% and 13.5% for receivables originated to finance new cars and used cars respectively. The expected defaults and recoveries capture our expectations of performance considering the current economic outlook, while the PCE captures the loss we expect the portfolio to suffer in the event of a severe recession scenario. Expected defaults and PCE are parameters used by Moody's to calibrate its lognormal portfolio loss distribution curve and to associate a probability with each potential future loss scenario in the cash flow model to rate Auto ABS.
The coronavirus outbreak, the government measures put in place to contain it, and the weak global economic outlook continue to disrupt economies and credit markets across sectors and regions. Our analysis has considered the effect on the performance of consumer assets from the current weak French economic activity and a gradual recovery for the coming months. Although an economic recovery is underway, it is tenuous, and its continuation will be closely tied to containment of the virus. As a result, the degree of uncertainty around our forecasts is unusually high.
We regard the coronavirus outbreak as a social risk under our ESG framework, given the substantial implications for public health and safety.
Portfolio expected defaults of 2.75% for new cars and 4.5% for used cars are in line with the EMEA Auto ABS average and are based on Moody's assessment of the lifetime expectation for the pool taking into account: (i) historic performance of the book of the originator; (ii) benchmark transactions; and (iii) other qualitative considerations, like the 4 years revolving period and related revolving criteria.
Portfolio expected recoveries of 45% are in line with the EMEA Auto ABS average and are based on Moody's assessment of the lifetime expectation for the pool taking into account: (i) historic performance of the originator's book; (ii) benchmark transactions; and (iii) other qualitative considerations.
PCE of 9% for new cars and 13.5% for used cars are in line with the EMEA Auto ABS average and are based on Moody's assessment of the pool which is mainly driven by: (i) evaluation of the underlying portfolio, complemented by the historical performance information as provided by the originator; (ii) the relative ranking to originator peers in the EMEA market; and (iii) other qualitative considerations. The PCE level at closing results in an implied coefficient of variation ("CoV") of 49.92%.
AUTO SECTOR TRANSFORMATION:
Technological obsolescence, shifts in demand patterns and changes in government policy will result in some segments of the portfolio experiencing greater volatility in certain asset performance metrics compared to that seen historically. Combustion engines are declining in popularity and will face carbon, air pollution and emission regulations. Rising popularity of Alternative Fuel Vehicles (AFVs) introduces uncertainty in the future price trends of both legacy engine types and AFVs themselves due to evolutions in technology, battery costs and government incentives. The securitised portfolio is at low risk due to the exposure to 43.7% diesel engines.
The principal methodology used in these ratings was "'Moody's Global Approach to Rating Auto Loan- and Lease-Backed ABS" published in July 2020 and available at https://www.moodys.com/researchdocumentcontentpage.aspx?docid=PBS_1236186. Alternatively, please see the Rating Methodologies page on www.moodys.com for a copy of this methodology.
Factors that would lead to a downgrade of the ratings:
Factors that would lead to a downgrade of the ratings include: (i) increased counterparty risk leading to potential operational risk of servicing or cash management interruptions; and (ii) economic conditions being worse than forecast resulting in higher arrears and losses.
For further specification of Moody's key rating assumptions and sensitivity analysis, see the sections Methodology Assumptions and Sensitivity to Assumptions in the disclosure form. Moody's Rating Symbols and Definitions can be found at: https://www.moodys.com/researchdocumentcontentpage.aspx?docid=PBC_79004.
The analysis relies on an assessment of collateral characteristics to determine the collateral loss distribution, that is, the function that correlates to an assumption about the likelihood of occurrence to each level of possible losses in the collateral. As a second step, Moody's evaluates each possible collateral loss scenario using a model that replicates the relevant structural features to derive payments and therefore the ultimate potential losses for each rated instrument. The loss a rated instrument incurs in each collateral loss scenario, weighted by assumptions about the likelihood of events in that scenario occurring, results in the expected loss of the rated instrument.
Moody's quantitative analysis entails an evaluation of scenarios that stress factors contributing to sensitivity of ratings and take into account the likelihood of severe collateral losses or impaired cash flows. Moody's weights the impact on the rated instruments based on its assumptions of the likelihood of the events in such scenarios occurring.

CARMEN LANSBERG (1981) will open her personal exhibition An Unknown Entity of Desire in Hobusepea gallery at 6pm on July 4th, 2012.
Carmen Lansberg has graduated from the department of cultural theory at the Estonian Institute of Humanities and as an exchange student studied at the Rome University of Fine Arts. In 2010, Lansberg obtained BA degree in painting at the department of fine arts of the Estonian Academy of Arts.
According to the artist, her current drawings and paintings function as a psychogeographical adventure in a molecular landscape, or as a journey into the labyrinths of cerebral hemispheres. Such labyrinths with the impasses of emotions and desires are the ones where amorphous, swollen, grotesque, Mimoid-like baroque freaks or elephantiac images appear from hyperactive disarrangement. Then everything will mutate and disappear into the chaos as an ephemeral hallucination, in order to transform into new organic and anorganic images., thus telling the story how desire becomes a subject, an entity, a being and how the subject desires to become a Man; however, the result will be always left unknown.
Exhibition will be open until July 16, 2012.

Q: selectOneMenu doesn't update with ajax I'm trying to update a selectOneMenu based on the change made from another selectOneMenu by using ajax.

Gemma has made a miraculous recovery after suffering a serious knee injury in March this year. However, after undergoing successful LARS surgery, Gemma has made a full recovery to earn a dramatic late call-up for the Rio Olympics.
Gemma is a qualified Radiographer who hails from Tamworth but calls Toowoomba home. Gemma is equally at home as a forward or back.
Away from the Rugby field, Gemma's sporting idol is Rafael Nadal. She loves nothing more than a good coffee and reading the newspaper. Gemma grew up on a farm and still spends a lot of weekends doing cattle work.


Has anybody got one? I am hoping to get one to work alongside my hawks once I convince my dad ( j/k ), I want a family dog, but if he dosent want to be fussed then so be it...if he does what he is supposed to and enjoys it then I dont really care. What do you all find about the breed? Reliable? Loyal? Easy to train?
My very first dog was a fox terrier. He was my best friend and he was there when I was born. I remember he had a kennel in the garden but he didn't sleep in it. However, I used to go into the kennel with him and it was 'our den'. He used to share his meals with me (gross!) - but fortunately he was fed whatever the family were having for our meal - with a few minor adjustments, of course he didn't get ice cream and jelly!
I didn't train him my parents did. I can remember he was very obedient and he would sit at the bottom of the stairs and wait for me to get ready to go out and play.
I'm sure he would be fine working alongside hawks - I'm guessing you have Harris Hawks due to your name. If you look on my gallery you'll see a picture of a very old friend of mine! A beautiful harris hawk!

The Undercurrent: Why are we being fed by a poison expert? Monsanto and Roundup
The Undercurrent delves into the world of mass agriculture to ask how one company has such control over food supply. The name Monsanto was once synonymous with Agent Orange, but today it's the dominance of the widespread herbicide Roundup which helps keep the company on top. But is the World Health Organisation's claim that Roundup 'probably' causes cancer, cause for concern? And what about the company's stance on patenting which sees farmers in developing countries unable to hold on to seed? Guardian Australia has joined forces with The Undercurrent – an online news show billing itself as an antidote to the five-second soundbite – for a four-part series over June and July. Brisbane creators Jen Dainer and Dan Graetz say it is the show they wish existed – so they created it themselves
• Right of reply: Monsanto responds to the Undercurrent video
The managing director of Monsanto Australia & New Zealand accuses the Undercurrent of inaccurate and damaging statements in its film about Monsanto and Roundup, which was first published on the Guardian
Last week the Guardian published a video called "Why are we being fed by a poison expert: Monsanto and Roundup" on its news website, under the science and agriculture banner. While the video was at times humorous, the content contained errors regarding Monsanto, the ethics of our people and the safety of our products.
Some of the statements made in this video are incorrect and damaging not just to Monsanto, but to farmers and the important role they play in feeding and clothing the world's rapidly growing population.
Although there are several inaccuracies that we think deserve to be corrected, I want to directly address a couple of the most inaccurate claims made by this video.
Firstly, the safety of glyphosate and any of Monsanto's other agricultural products is a matter we take very seriously. As consumers ourselves, the safety of our products is of paramount importance to all who work at Monsanto.
Glyphosate has recorded over 40 years of safe use and has been the subject of over 800 studies all of which have confirmed its safety. Glyphosate is the world's most widely used herbicide and is currently registered for use in more than 160 countries.
The video incorrectly portrays the recent assessment of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) on glyphosate as if it were the settled opinion of the World Health Organisation (WHO). IARC is one of four programs within the WHO that have reviewed the safety of glyphosate and their classification is inconsistent with the assessments of the other programs. Two of the WHO programs – the Core Assessment Group (in 2011) and the International Programme on Chemical Safety (in 1994) – both concluded glyphosate is not carcinogenic.
The Australian regulatory agency responsible for the registration of all agricultural and veterinary chemical products, the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA), concluded in 2013 that it has no data suggesting that glyphosate products registered in Australia and used according to label instructions present any unacceptable risks to human health, the environment and trade. The APVMA states: "The weight and strength of evidence shows that glyphosate is not genotoxic, carcinogenic, or neurotoxic."
The video also completely disregards the involvement of regulatory agencies in setting limits for residues of glyphosate and other pesticides in food and water. It omits any mention of regulatory review or science-based limits and would have the audience believe the presence of pesticide residues in food and water is completely unregulated and harmful to human health. This is plainly wrong.
Secondly, to the extent that the video suggests genetically modified food is unsafe, that is not scientifically supported. GM crops are the most scientifically tested food in human history and questioning their safety only undermines decades of independent research and the integrity of the world's most sophisticated regulatory systems, including Australia's Office of the Gene Technology Regulator.
GM crops have a 20-year record of safety and almost 2,500 independent, global scientific reviews and approvals of genetically modified organism (GMO) crops have verified their safety. Globally, GM crops have been found to be safe for growing and importing in more than 60 countries including the European Union.
In the most comprehensive study of GMOs, the University of California, Davis, examined 29 years of livestock feeding studies from both before and after the introduction of GM animal feed representing 100bn animals and concluded that GM feed is safe and nutritionally equivalent to non-GM feed.
To assert there are outstanding health concerns around GM foods is not supported by science or evidence.
Finally, the video also references farmer suicides in India. Tragically, farmer suicides in India began long before the introduction of GMO cotton in 2002. The International Food Policy Research Institute in Washington DC found that, if anything, suicides among farmers have been decreasing since the introduction of GMO cotton.
We love to participate in balanced discussion and informed debate on food and agriculture. But the public deserves balanced reporting, especially when it comes to topics as important as the safety of food production. Unfortunately, misinformation only polarises the debate and adds to confusion and fear.

Hawaii Governor Signs Tobacco Purchase Age Increase Bill
Gov. David Ige said he wanted to take enough time to ensure that the tobacco purchase age increase bill passed by the state's legislature in April was properly vetted by his staff and that they could ensure that no legal issues were likely to arise before he signed it and made it an official law. Yesterday, it was clear that enough time had passed and the law had the muster to avoid legal challenges, as the governor affixed his signature to the bill and officially raised the minimum age to purchase tobacco products from 18 to 21-years-old.
With Gov. Ige's signature, the change moves forward and goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2016.
Both tobacco retailers and consumers will be subject to penalties for violations: anyone under 21 caught buying tobacco or electronic cigarettes would be subject to a $10 fine for the first offense, with each subsequent offense carrying a $50 fine or community service. Retailers would have much heftier fines levied on them for selling to minors: $500 for the first offense and $500 to $2,000 for each violation thereafter.
The governor also signed HB525, which bans smoking, tobacco products and the use of electronic smoking devices in all state parks and beaches, a law that goes into effect on July 1, 2015.

Navy identifies sailor shot and killed by security personnel at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek
August 5, 2019 August 5, 2019 user0
Navy officials have identified Seaman Juan Gerardo Medina-Reynaga as the sailor shot and killed by security personnel following a high-speed car chase at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek, Virginia.
Medina-Reynaga, 25, served as an aviation boatswain's mate (fuels) airman aboard the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush, a Navy Region Mid-Atlantic news release says. He joined the Navy in 2015 and had previously served aboard the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise.
On Aug. 2, security personnel at Little Creek stopped Medina-Reynaga for driving erratically around 9:50 p.m., the news release says. Medina-Reynaga allegedly tried to speed away from authorities and a chase ensued.
When security personnel used automatic barriers to try to prevent Medina-Reynaga from leaving the base, he turned into a Navy Exchange Mini Mart and hit a gas pump, immobilizing his 2016 Dodge Charger, the news release says.
Medina-Reynaga allegedly tried to run away and then got into a scuffle with pursuing security personnel, the news release says. When he allegedly tried to grab one of the security officer's weapons, he was shot and killed at around 10:50 p.m.
The officer who shot Medina-Reynaga has been placed on administrative duties pending the results of an investigation, the news release says. Two security personnel were treated for minor injuries at the scene.

'Client Service Director title is now redundant'
A job title is descriptive, something recognisable and something that evokes status. But what happens when it has little resemblance to the role's content? It only makes sense that when a role changes so too does the title. Andrew Bell, Geometry Global UK's managing partner, explains that because the role itself has changed so the client service director title is now redundant.
The relationship between the client and the agency has changed because communication is now engagement and conversation rather than broadcast. How consumers engage with brands continues to evolve thus driving conversation is now the key focus. What was known as client service director Bell now calls 'the business partner' as today's role is about understanding client's businesses as a whole. He says clients want a partner that isn't simply a supplier, that it's about building partnerships to navigate an ever-changing complex world and in this world understanding the how and the why and being strategic to achieve creative points of view.
Bell's advice on how to achieve this comes down to aiding clients in understanding people in order to change customer behaviour. And if you can do this, he suggests more than a change in title - a change of career.

Sibley's and James Store Historic District is a national historic district located at Mathews, Mathews County, Virginia. It encompasses two contributing buildings, known variously as the Sibley Brothers General Store (1899), the separately listed Old Thomas James Store (c. 1810), and The Old Store. One of the buildings consists of two sections that were originally two separate buildings, but is now connected to Sibley's by a hyphen.  The Sibley's General Store was constructed in 1899, and is a -story folk Victorian wood-frame building with a full front porch, weatherboard exterior cladding, and wood-shingle decoration at the eaves.  It is connected by a hyphen to a one-story, wood-frame building built about 1840.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.

DoN GIoVaNNi, 1787–2017
Text by: Steve Piccolo
Prague, 29 October 1787: the first performance of "Don Giovanni," a revolutionary opera full of unprecedented musical ideas. Written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart at the age of 31, with a libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte, this opera is considered one of the greatest masterpieces of the Austrian composer, and marks the birth of a modern myth: the myth of Don Giovanni, which from that day on has never stopped growing, stimulating, disturbing, frightening and moving the whole world.
Barnaba Fornasetti, at the helm of the atelier started by his father Piero, has put together a remarkable team and produced a very striking version of the opera, with sets based on motifs from the Fornasetti archives, remarkable costumes by Romeo Gigli, and a 30-piece orchestra that replicates the original Prague performance, using period instruments including a fortepiano custom made for the occasion. Most performances of Don Giovanni today are based on the opera's second version, presented in Vienna in 1788. The orchestra "Silete Venti!" specializing in early music is conducted by its founder Simone Toni.
After making its debut in Milan at the Teatro dell'Arte of the Triennale in December 2016, the production moves on to Florence at Teatro della Pergola, 10-12-13 January 2017.
Today, with an American president-elect who shamelessly boasts about forcing his attentions on women, this tale of a rich libertine with a taste for rape who thinks his wealth can keep him beyond the reach of justice has particularly timely overtones.

I could stay here forever. Or at least until the sprinklers come on.
So there I was lying on the Coliseum grass, just beyond the infield rim where Jemile Weeks normally mans 2B. The fog had invaded, covering up any stars. I saw closeup how well Clay Wood and his staff covered up all of the evidence of a football game just five days prior. Temperatures had dipped below 60 and the breezes were starting to kick up. At least a thousand fellow A's fans were assembled on the field, most with blankets, some clutching cups of coffee. It was 10 o'clock, and we were waiting for Moneyball.
The movie itself was introduced by Scott Hatteberg, and just as we did in the pregame ceremony several hours earlier, we cheered players as they were announced or as they appeared on the smallish portable screen. Sound bounced off the still concrete bowl, creating an eerie, unintended echo effect. The stadium lights darkened, and for a moment everything was still, everything was perfect.
I've probably seen Moneyball seven or eight times now (three in theaters plus I own a Blu-ray combo pack), so the movie itself wasn't the attraction. I didn't go to the red carpet premiere at the Paramount, so this was as much about community as anything else. Yet I distanced myself from people and stayed way back, in an open spot as close to the cordoned off infield as possible. Every so often I would stand up and look back at the old seating bowl, where the safety lights were on and the media had cleared out of the press boxes. For better or worse, this is my second home, I said to myself.
The infield and warning track were off limits to the faithful. From what I could see in fans' faces, no one cared.
As the movie ended, I gathered all of my things and, mindful of how long I had been there and how emotional the day was, felt absolutely exhausted. Many friends who I had seen in the Coliseum had left long ago. In light and in darkness Mount Davis stood, impressive in scale and magnitude. For once I didn't hate the edifice. It was just sitting there, alone and somewhat forlorn, no lights on. As I started to walk toward the stairs I thought to myself, I wish one of those suites was my apartment so that I could head up there and go to sleep instead of driving home.
If I had the money and someone built it, I'd live in an apartment or condo overlooking an A's ballpark. Not one with a postage stamp sized view like in San Diego, detached from the action. A place that was as far as the upper Mt. Davis suites are now, with a balcony. I could wake up, observe the grass get cut and the mound manicured over a cup of Aeropressed coffee. Watch as tour groups came through and wave to them in my robe smoking jacket. Head downstairs, where there would probably be some retail component, for a sandwich or pastry. And watch the game from the balcony, or head down to one of the field box seats that were mandatory to buy with the apartment lease or condo purchase.
None of this is possible at the Coliseum, of course, for myriad reasons. The Raiders need those suites to be used as suites. Mt. Davis was never built with this kind of mixed use in mind. It's something I can still dream about at a new ballpark. Given the cost of developing a park these days, it's not a bad way to help with the financing. Follow me on this.
When NASCAR was at its peak before the crash, several tracks built condo complexes that overlooked the action. Most often, it was rich racing aficionados who bought up the units, forgoing an RV weekend in the paddock for an pied-à-terre above the track. To me that sounds crazy, considering that most tracks will get one or two races a year plus various minor events. It doesn't compare with 81-82 games plus concerts and whatever else the team can attract to a stadium. Yet the closest thing to a residential component we've ever seen is the hotel at Rogers Centre (formerly SkyDome), now a Marriott Renaissance property. Lew Wolff once had an interest in it, so he should know quite well how it's run.
If someone were to experiment with this kind of feature, one can't expect a big, 400-foot long apartment building with 200 units facing the ballpark. There'd probably be a "boutique" style building with no more than 40 units, 20 facing the ballpark, 6 stories tall, roof deck with a pool on top. How would they be sold? Upfront as condos with high HOA dues, or extremely expensive apartments? Maybe fans who aren't one-percenters could enter a lottery for one or two units, or perhaps for a year-long lease. 25 years ago the apartments on Waveland and Sheffield outside Wrigley Field could be rented by an average family. Now they're all corporate suites, better than the ones inside the park. In either condo or apartment form the units could provide a not-small financing piece, up to $30 million towards the ballpark's total construction cost after factoring in overhead. That's about as much as anyone could expect from a seat license sale, and it wouldn't come with the uncertainty or negative vibe associated with PSLs.
Taken as part of the growing number of luxury options, these could be considered as either complementary or competitive with regular suites. The biggest difference would be the view and the access, since suites are not normally available 24/7 the way a housing unit has to be. One could even see a player or two take advantage of the convenience, though he'd have to make sure his curtains are drawn at the proper moments. That is, unless he likes the attention.

Let's take up a collection. I want one too.
ML this is a great idea!
Outstading. I had the same idea.
If a Howard Terminal stadium was angled toward downtown Oakland you could make something like this happen. If it was positioned as planned in the HOK study (I think it was slo_town who said this was the plan) then this wouldn't really be a possibility.
Still, it's an awesome idea and similar to what I thought the A's should do. Basically, make one side of the outfield low like Wrigley, a street in between and then have a club outside of the stadium, overlooking the field. I'd like this better, but the club couldn't be used as additional seating for a highly attended game if it was replaced by apartments/condos.
Wasn't this part of the Fremont plan?
D JR, I don't recall actual residences being part of the ballpark plan (not that were able to see onto the field). There were residential units as part of a larger development surrounding the ballpark to pay for the ballpark.

Railways lose money — always have
There has been some recent discussion and requests for additional funding for the local railroad, the former E&N Railway.
Nov. 27, 2012 9:00 a.m.
There has been some recent discussion and requests for additional funding for the local railroad, the former E&N Railway, initiated by the Island Corridor Foundation.
In response, first must come my admission that I am an ardent fan of railways, particularly historic and steam railways. I would love to see the rail diesel car, or RDC, run between Courtenay and Victoria once again.
However, as a pragmatist, I have yet to find a passenger rail operation anywhere on the globe that doesn't need at least a periodic benevolence from a government at some level. That is to say, almost none of them make a buck.
The railroads of old couldn't wait to divest themselves of their obligations to maintain passenger service, obligations which were imposed on them in exchange for grants of money and land, and it should be little wonder.
So, despite my deep regret, my integrity requires me to state that there must be a better use for the money being considered and already provided for this purpose.
If the ICF can make a go of it with coal, sheep carcasses, or fine oak barrels with Island single malt, please do so. But for them to sell to its public the idea that they won't be coming back for another 'one-time grant', as most of them have been, is to me short-sighted…to be kind.
The bridges will deteriorate. Those that escaped the engineer's red X in the survey of 2011 may not do so in just 18 months. More ties will turn to powder. Weeds and brush will still encroach and have to be beaten back.
Those old cars will need parts, some custom-made. And an insufficient revenue from passenger service will make it impossible to justify the budd diesel cars as anything more than a lost cause, an anachronistic symbol of the historical failure of railroads to generate revenue to cover the real costs of passenger service.
About the only credible argument that can be made in favour of passenger service, but which would also be true for freight, is that it would reduce traffic in congested areas between Courtenay and Victoria.
It would make some places safer, at face value. I think of the Malahat. In a small way, perhaps improved with improved marketing, it might generate tourism dollars.
In conclusion, I would love to be proven wrong. So would have the presidents of all the great railroads of yesteryear who contended in vain with this losing facet of the enterprise.

"One touch of nature makes the whole world kin," or so says the witty Bard. William Shakespeare, arguably the greatest writer in the English language and creator of over 1,700 words now in our common vernacular, may have been creatively influenced by a touch of cannabis.
Harvard Magazine reports on a fascinating subject hundreds of years in the making. In Elizabethan England, hemp (or Cannabis Sativa) was the second-most cultivated plant of that era. It was fashioned into rope, paper, clothing, sails, and, you guessed it, may have been smoked for its mind-altering effects.
Clay Professor of Archaeology Nickolaas J. van der Merwe worked with colleagues to analyze scrapings from the bowl pieces and stems of 24 pipes unearthed from sites in and around Stratford-on-Avon, Shakespeare's birthplace. The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust provided fragments of kaolin, or white clay, from the garden at Shakespeare's residence, all dating from the 1600's.
Using gas chromatography and a mass spectrometer, the fragments were tested. Although cannabis itself degrades fairly quickly, cannabidiol and cannabinol are stable combustion products that can be detected in ancient artifacts. Cannabis-related compounds were found in eight of the 24 samples, including four pieces found in the Bard's garden.

Радиолокационна станция "Дъга" () е съветска задхоризонтна радиолокационна станция за системата на ранното разкриване на изстрелвания на междуконтинентални балистични ракети.

Мрежа от РЛС
Известни са 3 такива станции:
 РЛС в с. Болшая Картел, край гр. Комсомолск на Амур, Хабаровски край, РСФСР  и . Снета е от бойно дежурство на 14 ноември 1989 г., вече е демонтирана.
 РЛС край гр. Чернобил, Киевска област, Украинска ССР (обект Чернобил-2)  и . Не е минала държавни изпитания след модернизацията от 1985–1986 г. Спряна е 26 април 1986 г. заради с Чернобилската авария. Част от оборудването е демонтирано и превозено в Комсомолск на Амур.
 Експериментална установка край гр. Николаев, Украинска ССР . Вече е демонтирана.

Чернобилска РЛС
Секретният военен обект Чернобил-2 се е намирал на 11 километра южно от град Припят, Украинска ССР. Съоръжението с приблизителна височина 150 м и приблизителна дължина 800 м е част от противоракетната отбрана на СССР със задача да засича изстрелване на вражески балистични ракети в първите 2-3 минути след изстрелването. Главен конструктор на задхоризонтната радиолокационна станция е Франц Кузмински, а главен проектант е Научноизследователският институт по далечните радиосвръзки. Заради характерния звук, който излъчва в ефир при работа, радарът получава прозвището си Руски кълвач.

Идея и строителство
Стъпките по създаването на РЛС "Дъга" са предприети след правителствено постановление от 18 януари 1972 г. Начинанието е продиктувано от нуждата от съвременна система за ранно предупреждение при нападение чрез междуконтинентални балистични ракети, посредством засичане на промени в йоносферата, причинени от ракетни двигатели. По думите на Михаил Горбачов тя е била част от по-обширен план за изграждане на подобни станции в Далечния изток, в централната и северната част на СССР, както и още една в този регион. Станцията е предшествана от 2 по-ранни експериментални радиолокационни станции, докато самата тя е с характер на бойна единица.

Поради голямата консумация на електричество (10 мегавата) мястото на разположение е избрано заради близостта ѝ с АЕЦ Чернобил, отстояща на по-малко от 10 км, и отсъствието на плодородни земи в този район. На всички географски карти от това време, мястото е обозначено като пионерски лагер. Строителните дейности по целия обект привършват през 1975 г. с изграждането на РЛС "Дъга" и всички обслужващи сгради, в това число общежития, военно поделение, комуникационен център, трансформаторна подстанция, стадион, училище, магазин, ресторант и други, обслужващи персонала от 1000 души. За нуждите на строителството е вдигнат 200-метров кран, използван при поставянето на антените. Елементите за самите антени са изработени в беларуския завод "Гомселмаш", Гомел. Външността на станцията е покрита с цинк, което е и основна причина тя да е в добро състояние дори и в наши дни.

Строга охрана
Като строго секретен обект периметърът е строго охраняван в миналото. Затворен е от масивна ограда с бодлива тел, защитена с опасно за човек напрежение, оборудвана и с уредби за осветление. От вътрешната страна на оградата се разполага път за патрулите. По ъглите на оградата са разположени вишки за наблюдение, а до тях – и платформи за часови, като на някои от тях са инсталирани устройства тип домофон за разговори.

Старт и развитие
На 4 юли 1976 г. е извършена първата серия от електромагнитни транслации, с импулси, предавани на равен интервал (1/10 от секундата) в диапазон от 3 до 30 MHz, които нарушават радиосвръзките на цялата планета. В процеса на експериментите е открит значителен недостатък. По данни на вече построената станция са регистрирани 44 сигнала, подобни на тези при изстрелване на балистични ракети, които се оказват смущения от случайно изпуснати сигнали. Става ясно, че РЛС е способна да засича само мащабни стартове на ракети.

На основание нарушение на международна спогодба за ненарушаване на честоти за гражданско ползване САЩ, Канада и Великобритания изразяват протест, свързан с риска за авиацията и корабоплаването, но СССР отрича дори съществуването на радиолокатора. Съветските власти предприемат стъпки към решаването на проблема с използваните работни честоти и след модернизация проблемът е отстранен. Така през 1985 г. радиолокационна станция "Дъга" е приведена в експлоатация на пълно бойно дежурство в системата на противовъздушната отбрана на Съветския съюз.

Чернобилска авария
На 26 април 1986 г. командирът на "Чернобил-2" Владимир Мусиец разпорежда действия по евакуация на персонала заради всмуканата радиация през вентилационната система. През юни 1986 г. пристига екип за химическа защита, който в продължение на 3 дни измива целия обект и изчиства околното пространство от замърсяванията. Скоро след това отново е отчетено високо радиационно ниво. Следват още няколко опита на ликвидатори за нормализиране на условията, но без резултат.

Обектът е консервиран с намерението да се използва в бъдеще, но през 1987 г. след оценка на въздействието от бедствието става ясно, че това е невъзможно да се случи в забранената зона около АЕЦ Чернобил. Най-важните компоненти са демонтирани и откарани в град Комсомолск на Амур. Всички останали прилежащи сгради и съоръжения са изоставени. Лица, представящи се за ликвидатори, с фалшиви документи, също са посещавали мястото в търсене на благородни метали, като са нанесли трайни щети на цялата останала апаратура. Към днешна дата РЛС "Дъга" е достъпна за посещение, за разлика от другите от нейния тип, които са засекретени обекти.

As expected, the annual fund-raiser for Robert Wilson's avante-garde center was as kooky as ever.
"I remember coming here when Bob first looked at the property, and it was a Western Union Telegraph place. It was a cinder block building with nothing in it," said Peggy Siegal on Saturday night, the rhythmic ping of exploding paintballs sounding beside her. An armored man was stationed inside a glass cube in the courtyard firing off rainbow-colored pellets, an amuse-bouche for the performance art that laid ahead in the woods.
"They're usually making out, fornicating, doing whatever," Siegal added, making her way onto the winding art trail.
The Watermill Center's annual summer benefit certainly contributes a heavy dose of color to the Hamptons summertime social calendar, and is one of the more cherished events of the season — even more so this year, as it marks the avant-garde organization's 25th anniversary. To mark the milestone, founder Bob — that would be Robert Wilson — chose to posthumously honor his friend and longtime supporter, Pierre Bergé.
During cocktail hour, a marriage of various artistic approaches was on full display. Dancers wearing formalwear and VR headsets folded their bodies together atop a platform at the entrance to the property's woods, where another duo sat inside a blue box with silver tubing obscuring their heads, attempting to blow and exchange giant bubbles. Further in the woods, two legs jutted out from atop a Truffula tree-esque sculpture.
"I have a sculpture here for the first time; I've donated a work that is still up — it's the tires on the flagpost," said Montauk resident Lucien Smith, donning a hot-orange camo bucket hat. The art wunderkind was making the rounds with his friend and forthcoming artist collaborator Lucca M., in town from Los Angeles for the summer. The West Coaster had underestimated the allure of summertime on the Easr Coast.
Speaking of swag, a few guests didn't walk away from the evening empty-handed. During the dinner's live auction, another dinner with — or by, details were very nebulous — Marina Abramović was up for bids.
"I'm out!" exclaimed one potential bidder (who was later very much "in," placing winning bids for works by Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol).
Still, there was plenty of art for free. Wilson took the stage to honor Bergé with a spoken-word performance speech and then introduced Madison Cox, the late Bergé's husband.

Jeremy Corbyn, leader of Britain's main opposition Labour Party, called on his lawmakers on Wednesday to end "trench warfare" and unite to challenge the ruling Conservatives and deliver "socialism of the 21st century".
Corbyn, re-elected as leader at the weekend after a divisive contest, said he wanted to win back trust in Labour. The party was dealt a crushing election defeat by the ruling Conservatives last year, when many voters cast doubt on whether the party's left-wing programme would protect the economy.
Despite attracting hundreds of thousands of new members to join the Labour Party, he faces a daunting task to impose his authority on his own lawmakers and sell his socialist policies to the wider electorate.
He is also facing criticism that he fails to understand Britons' widespread concerns over immigration – a key factor that prompted them to vote in June to leave the European Union.
"Our job is now to win over the unconvinced to our vision. Only that way can we secure the Labour government we need and let's be frank, no one will be convinced of a vision promoted by a divided party," Corbyn told his party's annual conference in the northern city of Liverpool.
"So I ask each and every one of you … end the trench warfare and work together to take on the Tories," he said, using the colloquial term for the Conservative Party.
Corbyn, first elected last year on a wave of enthusiasm for a new politics, promised not to "offer false promises on immigration as the Tories have done".
That puts him at odds with some in his party, who say Labour must respond to people's worries and consider some form of control over the numbers arriving in Britain if it is to avoid alienating more voters.
"If Labour now argues for the status quo, it will look like we have abandoned them too," said Andy Burnham, the party's home affairs spokesman, who signalled he would resign fromCorbyn's top team to run for mayor of the northern city of Manchester.
Prime Minister Theresa May has made clear that a priority in Brexit talks is to get some control over immigration, but Corbyn said a Labour government would "not sow division by fanning the flames of fear".
"We will tackle the real issues of immigration instead, whatever the eventual outcome of the Brexit negotiations and make the changes that are needed," he said.
Corbyn's calls for unity are repeated publicly by almost all in his party, but privately many centrist Labour lawmakers say they fear his win will serve to cement his authority and drive the party further left, ceding the centre ground from where Tony Blair won three consecutive elections from 1997 to 2005.
Most lawmakers welcomed his speech, in which he told them to be ready for an election as early as next year, though the government's mandate runs until 2020 and May has said she has no intention of calling an early vote.
Many of those who do not see eye-to-eye with their leader say they have little choice but to play ball after Corbyn's second resounding leadership win.
But Stephen Kinnock, a lawmaker and son of a former Labour leader, described the situation as "a work in progress".
"It's mixed. I think we're almost there in some aspects of our offer, some aspects still need work," he told Reuters as a woman passing by called him a "hate-monger".
Compo is no challenge at all to the Conservative party.
Only today he has declared that he has no interest in ever becoming prime minister. He actually spends time thinking of policies to guarantee how own defeat and then adopts them as official Labour Party policy.
UKIP will undoubtedly become the official opposition after the next election and not much of an opposition at that. Britain is a single party state.
