Cruising Reviews, Travel News
22/09/2013This entry was posted in Cruising Reviews, Travel News and tagged Crystal cruises on 22 September 2013 by Andy Mossack.
Crystal Cruises is preparing for a $17-million redesign of the award-winning Crystal Serenity this November.
The line is planning sweeping makeovers of the ship's Crystal Penthouses (the line's coveted top accommodations) and Lido Deck, including the popular indoor/outdoor Trident Grill, Tastes restaurant and Crystal Serenity's Lido café. Building upon the success of Crystal Symphony's "living wall", Crystal is expanding its green concept to the Lido area. Maintenance, cleaning, mechanical updates and environmental upgrades will also be implemented throughout the ship's interior and exterior spaces during the two-week dry dock at the Navantia Shipyard in Cádiz, Spain.
By November, Crystal will have spent $52 million on Crystal Serenity's Extreme Makeover in the past two years and almost $120 million on the Extreme Makeover of its fleet in recent years."Our redesigns aren't merely new fabrics and furnishings. It is indeed extreme when you take out pools, tear down walls and completely re-invent spaces to create new stylish, contemporary and exceptionally welcoming and comfortable public areas and accommodations," says Crystal President Gregg Michel. "While we are honoured to have won respected design awards for our remodels, we are even more gratified by the response from our guests – international travellers who have an eye for style and appreciate fine design in their lifestyle and when they holiday."
Lido Deck
London's Adfecto design firm was inspired by Santa Barbara's casual, yet cultured, "American Riviera" vibe for the transformation of the ship's spacious Lido deck. Natural stone, wrought iron and an array of blues set the resort-like tone for the space's major reconfiguration that will remove its indoor pool and Tastes kitchen, move the ice cream bar to the Trident Grill and add more sofa seating, an open kitchen and a cocktail bar. In addition, four "living walls" and additional greenery surrounding the Trident lounge area will bring the outdoors in. As with Crystal Symphony, Crystal Serenity's Lido café will be redesigned with modern food islands replacing long buffet counters, more tables for two and a fresh baked goods kitchen. A new cherry wood dance floor will also be installed in the Palm Court, the ship's largest gathering place for drinks and dancing.
Crystal Penthouses
Toronto's II BY IV, the firm that won major design awards for its previous remodel of Crystal Serenity's staterooms, is redefining the ship's four top suites with clean lines, classic simplicity and refined elegance in a dramatic ultra-contemporary remodel. Interiors of the butler-serviced, 1,345 square-feet residences will be gutted and spaces completely reconfigured. The dining area will move closer to the floor-to-ceiling windows and the private outdoor deck, while the former dining room will now hold a den/library/media room with a queen-sized sleeper sofa and closet. With a new shower added to the guest bathroom, the space can function as a second bedroom, ideal for families and couples travelling together. The Penthouse also features a spacious living room and butler's pantry with private entrance.
The master bedroom will be made over with luxurious bedding, curtains, two entrances and a new seating area. The master bath will feature marble, mosaics, a walk-in glass shower and two waterproof Aquavision TV's, one embedded in the mirror and one by the large window-side Jacuzzi tub.In keeping with modern tech living, the Crystal Penthouses will feature three flat screen TV's, including a 3-D TV, plus a surround sound audio system, iPod docking stations and increased wall outlets.
With more than 700 different jobs scheduled for completion during the 13 days, the 500+ contractor crew and several hundred Crystal crew will also be working round-the-clock to thoroughly deep clean the ship, repaint exteriors, refurbish the "port pod", add energy-saving LED lighting in public areas and crew offices plus more. Crystal Serenity's first voyage after completing dry dock will be a 12-night 27th November Lisbon to Barcelona cruise through the Canary Islands, followed by a Transatlantic crossing to the Americas, a Christmas/New Year voyage in the Caribbean and the annual World Cruise, an 89-night ultimate luxury adventure from Los Angeles to Southampton, starting 18th January.

we have to be out of our current place fairly soon and that means fixing it up so we can get our security deposit back. i need all the monies.
we had already did some work in the yard (yes they said we have too, boo) planted some grass seeds fixed the broken sprinkler, re-mulched the flower beds – um why didn't anyone inform me you need a poop-ton of mulch to finish a gardening job??
this weekend we laid out some more grass seeds (i need the armadillos to stop ransacking our yard and the birds to stop feasting on the seeds!). we visited lowe's a few times, and dropped some stuff off at goodwill.
b.have to pray that the old can of paint that has been sitting in our garage can be remade exactly and will suffice to make the coverup barely noticeable.
i also have been looking into some projects that i want to accomplish for the new place. i can't wait to tell you & show you exactly what i'm thinking of. i also have a dresser & nightstand upgrade coming up soon.

The 2006 Pavie, a blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, is cropped low as the viticultural work is impeccable, the winemaking is thoroughly Burgundian in style, and bottling is accomplished with no fining or filtration. With over 90 acres in vine, this is one of the larger of the premier grand cru classes in St.-Emilion. A prodigious effort, the 2006 does not have the sucrosite of the 2005, 2003, or 2000, but it would not be embarrassed if tasted side by side with either of those two titans. A dense purple color as well as an extraordinary perfume of crushed black currants, licorice, wet stones, and subtle background oak are found in this tannic, dense, masculine-styled 2006. Backward and extraordinarily pure, it is built like a Manhattan skyscraper with exceptional focus, depth, texture, and length. It's all here, but 5-10 years of patience will be warranted. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2035. * Since 1998, no other Bordeaux estate except Ausone has had such a superlative record of quality. Pavie's wines are usually among the top half-dozen in every vintage, including such challenging years as 2004, 2003, 2002, and 1999. Proprietor Gerard Perse's flagship vineyard is situated on a gorgeous, south-facing slope possessing three distinct soil types, limestone, clay, and a sand/clay mixture.

This post contains spoilers for all of Game of Thrones Season 7. Visit our official hub for more GoT recaps, theories, and spoilers.
This Restaurant Reinvented the McGriddle
Another bloody season of Game of Thrones, another season of hilarious and badass quotes. There might have been fewer episodes this year -- a mere seven compared to the usual 10 -- but that doesn't mean there was a shortage of vulgar quips, menacing threats, and brave proclamations. If anything, there were more: There's no reason to mince words when an army of White Walkers is beating down your door -- or, to be more specific, your giant ice wall.
Though it's tempting to make this list a transcript of all the insults the Hound and Tormund hurled at each other during "Beyond the Wall," we've gone ahead and included some choice zingers from a range of characters across the full season. As you bask in the madness that was the HBO show's penultimate run -- and begin the long winter wait for new episodes -- relive some of the best below.
The Most Plausible Theories on How George R. R. Martin Could End 'Game of Thrones'
More From Beyond The Wall

All 185 'Game of Thrones' Deaths, Ranked
All 73 'Game of Thrones' Episodes, Ranked
Arya, after killing the remaining Frey men:
"Leave one wolf alive and the sheep are never safe. When people ask you what happened here, tell them the North remembers. Tell them winter came for House Frey."
Lyanna Mormont to Lord Glover about her fighting abilities:
"I don't plan on knitting by the fire while men fight for me. I might be small, Lord Glover. And I might be a girl. But I am every bit as much a Northerner as you. And I don't need your permission to defend the North."
Cersei, to Jaime about all their friends:
"Enemies to the east. Enemies to the south: Ellaria Sand and her brood of bitches. Enemies to the west: Olenna, the old cunt, another traitor. Enemies to the north: Ned Stark's bastard has been named King of the North, and that murdering whore Sansa stands beside him. Enemies everywhere."
Cersei again:
"Should we spend our days mourning the dead -- mother, father, and all our children? I loved them. I did! But they're ashes now and we're still flesh and blood. We're the last Lannisters, the last ones who count."
Euron, on not mourning the death of his relatives:
"The place was getting crowded."
Euron, to Cersei regarding killing brothers:
"You should try it. It feels wonderful."
Sam, telling all the old people that their poops stink at the Citadel:
"G'UGHHHHHHH!!"
Arya, not making a joke to Ed Sheeran:
"I'm going to kill the queen! [Laughs.]"
Varys, explaining his modus operandi to Dany:
"Incompetence should not be rewarded with blind loyalty. As long as I have my eyes, I'll use them. I wasn't born into a great house. I came from nothing. I was sold as a slave and carved up as an offering. When I was a child, I lived in alleys, gutters, abandoned houses. You wish to know where my true loyalties lie? Not with any king or queen, but with the people. The people who suffer under despots and prosper under just rule. The people whose hearts you aim to win. If you demand blind allegiance, I respect your wishes. Grey Worm can behead me or your dragons can devour me. But if you let me live, I will serve you well. I will dedicate myself to seeing you on the Iron Throne, because I choose you. Because I know the people have no better chance than you."
Melisandre, revealing a prophecy to Dany:
"The Long Night is coming. Only the prince who was promised can bring the dawn."
Dany, to Tyrion when Melisandre's prophecy is properly translated:
"I like it better."
Jorah, to Sam declining the offer to send word to his family about his Greyscale:
"I've been dead for years."
Dany, explaining why she doesn't want to storm King's Landing with her dragons:
"I am not here to be Queen of the Ashes."
Lady Olenna, to Dany regarding Tyrion:
"He's a clever man, Your Hand. I've known a great many clever men. I've outlived them all. You know why? I ignored them. The lords of Westeros are sheep. Are you a sheep? No. You're a dragon. Be a dragon."
Cersei, to Qyburn regarding Robert's dragon skulls:
"They were his trophies. He couldn't keep them around. They would have made him look small."
Sam, to Jorah before healing him:
"You're Jorah Mormont, the only son of Jeor Mormont. My name is Samwell Tarly, Sworn Brother of the Night's Watch, training to serve as Maester at Castle Black. I knew your father, I was with him when he died. You're not dying today, Ser Jorah."
Jon Snow, presenting a not-so-subtle threat to Littlefinger:
"Touch my sister, and I'll kill you myself."
Euron, to Theon after he kidnaps his sister:
"Ah, come on, you cockless coward."
Tyrion, to Jon about how he became Dany's hand:
"A long and bloody tale. To be honest, I was drunk for most of it."
Tyrion, to Jon regarding the dragons flying overhead:
"I'd say you get used to them... but you never really do."
Varys, to Melisandre after she says she's done whispering into Jon Snow's ear:
"Give us common folk one taste of power, we're like the lion who tasted man. Nothing is ever so sweet again."
Missandei and Davos, introducing Jon Snow and Dany:
Missandei: You stand in the presence of Daenerys Stormborn, of House Targaryen, rightful heir to the Iron Throne, rightful Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Protector of the Seven Kingdoms, the Mother of Dragons, the Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, the Unburnt, the Breaker of Chains.
Davos: This is Jon Snow. He's King in the North.
Jon, to Dany regarding the dragons and Dothraki at Dragonstone:
"They're hard to miss."
Dany, showing Jon who he's dealing with:
"So many men have tried to kill me, I don't remember all their names. I have been sold like a broodmare. I've been chained and betrayed, raped and defiled. Do you know what kept me standing through all those years in exile? Faith. Not in any gods, not in myths and legends. In myself. In Daenerys Targaryen."
A truth bomb for Theon, after he says he tried to save his sister:
"You wouldn't be here if you tried."
Cersei, to Euron deftly and publicly curving out of some presumptuous hanky-panky:
"You shall have what your heart desires... when the war is won."
Cersei, to Qyburn after poisoning Ellaria's daughter:
"Make sure the guards change the torches every few hours. I don't want her to miss a thing."
Tyrion, to Jon while brooding over his failure to predict the Greyjoy attack:
"You look a lot better brooding than I do. You make me feel like I'm failing at brooding over failure."
Dany, to Jon regarding Tyrion's chattiness:
"We all enjoy what we're good at."
Sansa, to Littlefinger after he warns her that the person who killed her mother, father, and brother is dangerous:
"Thank you for your wise counsel."
Tyrion, being very Tyrion when plotting an attack:
"Casterly Rock is an impregnable fortress. But as a good friend of mine once said, 'Give me 10 good men and I'll impregnate the bitch.'"
Olenna, to Jaime after he says there are always lessons in failures:
"You must be very wise by now."
Olenna, remembering the late Joffrey:
"He really was a cunt, wasn't he?"
Bran, to LittleFinger after he receives the catspaw dagger:
"Chaos is a ladder."
Arya, to Sansa when they are reunited at Winterfell:
"Do I have to call you Lady Stark now?"
Jon Snow, to Dany while showing her the painting of the White Walkers in the cave:
"The enemy is real. It's always been real."
Bronn, to Dickon Tarly right before the Loot Train Attack:
"Men shit themselves when they die. Didn't they teach you that at fancy lad school?"
16 Burning Questions We Need Answered in 'Game of Thrones' Season 8
Jaime Lannister, to Cersei after returning from his fight with Dany's dragons:
"This isn't a war we can win."
Sansa, to her more headstrong sister Arya:
"I'm sure cutting off heads is very satisfying, but that's not the way you get people to work together."
Davos Seaworth, to Gendry when asked if he was worried about being recognized in King's Landing:
"Haven't been here in years. Why should they recognize me? Sometimes I hardly do. Nothing fucks you harder than time."
Tyrion, after being reunited with Jorah Mormont after a long time:
"I've missed you, Mormont. Nobody glowers quite like you."
Samwell Tarly, to Gilly before they leave the Citadel to help Jon Snow:
"I'm tired of reading about the achievements of better men."
Tormund, to Jon Snow when trying to clarify which queen needs to be convinced about the White Walkers:
"And you need to convince the one with the dragons or the one who fucks her brother?"
Tormund, on how to stay warm in harsh conditions:
"Walking's good, fighting's better, fucking's best."
Tormund, explaining the beauty of gingers to the Hound:
"Gingers are beautiful. We are kissed by fire."
Tormund, telling the Hound about his romantic hopes for Brienne of Tarth:
"I want to make babies with her. Think of them... great big monsters. They'd conquer the world."
Dany, to Tyrion when discussion a possible romance with Jon Snow:
"He's too little for me. I didn't mean... As heroes go, he is quite little."
Thoros of Myr, to Beric after encountering the dead zombie bear beyond the wall:
"I just got hit by a dead bear... Funny old life."
The Hound, getting philosophical about the Lord of Light during the battle beyond the wall:
"Every lord I've ever met has been a cunt. I don't see why the Lord of Light should be any different."
Jon Snow, to Daenerys after she tells him not to call her "Dany":
"All right. Not 'Dany.' How about my queen?"
Jaime Lannister, to Bronn as they prepare for the arrival of Jon Snow and Tyrion:
"Maybe it really is all cocks in the end."
The Hound, when he comes face to face with his brother The Mountain after years apart:
"Remember me? Yeah, you do. You're even fucking uglier than I am now. What did they do to you? Doesn't matter. That's not how it ends for you brother. You know who's coming for you. You've always known."
Jon Snow, to the assembled leaders at the dragon pit in King's Landing:
"There is only one war that matters. The Great War. And it is here."
Jon Snow, to Cersei after she asks him to pledge her loyalty to him:
"I'm not gonna swear an oath I can't uphold. Talk about my father if you want, tell me that's the attitude that got him killed. But when enough people make false promises, words stop meaning anything. Then there are no more answers, only better and better lies. And lies won't help us in this fight."
Cersei, to her brother Tyrion when explaining why she doesn't want to fight the White Walkers:
"I don't care about checking my worst impulses. I don't care about making the world a better place. Hang the world."
Cersei, to her twin brother Jamie after he says he will fight against the White Walkers:
"No one walks away from me."
Sansa, to Arya after they've successfully eliminated Littlefinger:
"You're still very strange and annoying."
Viserion, while using his zombie dragon power to melt the wall:
"[Screeches.]"

Home >> February 2014 Edition >> NSR Analysis #1 — Government + Military SATCOM... A Work In Progress?
NSR Analysis #1 — Government + Military SATCOM... A Work In Progress?
By Claude Rousseau, Research Director, NSR France
With the raft of bad news from recent earning calls stating lower government revenues in the satellite industry, one has to ask the question: Is a pessimistic view of the market fair when the changes coming will grow the market pie and offer more bits-per-hertz at a cheaper unit price?
Artistic rendition of Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS). Image is courtesy of Boeing.
The truth is that pessimistic views overshadow many opportunities for solutions developed over the past ten years that address military requirements of lower budgets while at the same time offering more bandwidth.
The inventor of electricity Thomas Edison once said, "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work."
Well, these new opportunities for the government and military users are indeed a lot of work, with many still a work-in-progress. However, these will not only change the make-up of the off-the-shelf products available but will also jostle "who" is slated for the position at the top of this marketplace.
On top of everyone's agenda is meeting mandatory budget cuts, while at the same time addressing ballooning requirements for end-users, and to top it off, Communications On The Move (COTM).
With huge steps in capacity coming online via high-throughput satellites (HTS), there is some elbowing going on within the industry to meet the mandate of governments to 'do more with less,' in particular for high-potential, mobility applications.
As the graph shows, when assessing satellite operators serving this market, the largest portion of the pie is captured by FSS operators who generated more than 75 percent of the revenues, while MSS operators garner the remainder. Intelsat, which expanded its off-network portfolio (MSS, X-band), has staved off competition and is far ahead in first place, taking in approximately one-third of total market revenues.
Interesting to note, however, is the two companies that are just behind in second place. SES, with a video-centric core, and Inmarsat, with a merchant marine base of users, will likely rub shoulders more often in this market as well as participate in steering changes to meet the new high-bandwidth, low-cost challenges of government users. Furthermore, their market position will likely be determined by how well they can add more value to users with broadband mobility requirements.
When looking at this chart, one would say that today Inmarsat is a strong contender and has a lot of room to grow its government business. In particular, its FSS offering has been met with far less success than the company would have hoped for...
– The pull-out of troops in the Middle-East
– The US Navy decommissioning of its terminals on a couple of hundred ships
– The U.S. Coast Guard's choice of Ku-band VSATs for its Cutter Class vessels' primary means of communications, instead of Fleet Broadband
These are all misfortunes that the operator has had to grapple with over the past five years.
For SES, their position as a more diversified operator worldwide, and its investment in the high-throughput market via O3b Networks, has lessened the hit. Several new Ku-band transponders over oceans are also taking the company on the path to address the market for bandwidth and mobile solutions.
For Intelsat, keeping its number one share also means the firm must capitalize on its HTS EPIC satellites and deploy more capacity over places where ships and airborne platforms where UAVs fly, to lessen the recent drop in revenues due to transponder price cuts offered to the U.S. Government.
Having said this, it is easier to see why Inmarsat, which will be the first out of the gate with a global fleet of satellites offering high-throughput capacity to government users, is still targeting this market.
A good portion of its revenue is expected to come from the agreement in place with Boeing, whereby the satellite manufacturer's take-or-pay of 10 percent of the fleet's capacity, aims at getting military users onto the military Ka-band part of the Global Xpress payload.
Specifically, these services will have advantages for troops, ships and airborne platforms with an 'almost-like' WGS connectivity on a global basis that is becoming a strategic communications infrastructure for many countries around the globe. With this key advantage, Inmarsat is hoping to forge itself a future expansion in the government FSS business in a market in that is in dire need of cheaper bits.
The increased efforts to reduce the cost of communications links by satellite operators will bring more benefits to government and military users as well as create a more dynamic market where both FSS and MSS services will increasingly collide into one another.
The work-in-progress sign is still up on the doors of many satellite operators targeting the higher bandwidth and mobility government SATCOM markets—however, the opportunities are likely to be just beyond the doorway.

Backlash frustrates Wolverines' Burke
Most college basketball fans have an opinion on whether Michigan freshman point guard Trey Burke should declare himself an early entry for the NBA draft or return to school next season.
He would be crazy to make the jump right now. He's only 5-foot-11, if that, and could easily slide from thinking he's a potential first-round pick straight into the second round. Some projections list him as no better than a second-rounder anyway.
It's exactly those types of opinions, like mine, that apparently have frustrated Burke during his decision-making process.
On Wednesday, Burke wrote the following message on Twitter: "EVERYONE got something to say ... smh I thought this was my life!"
The "smh" stands for shaking my head.
Of all people, Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis responded a tweet back to Burke: "My advice, believe in YOUR heart & mind, everything else is interference. People u seek out is better than those that seek u."
Michigan athletic director David Brandon added to the discussion with a tweet of his own:
"Mark Hollis had good intentions-but made a mistake. Not appropriate to tweet one of our student-athletes. Won't happen again. End of story."
Burke, an Associated Press honorable mention All-American, is requesting advice on his draft potential from the NBA Undergraduate Advisory Committee. The deadline for underclassmen to officially enter the draft is April 10.
Burke exceeded expectations in his first year at Michigan, averaging 14.8 points and 4.6 assists. There's still a buzz about him despite his playing poorly in a loss to Ohio State in the Big ten tournament championship. He scored 16 points in the Wolverines' NCAA tournament loss to Ohio, but shot 5 of 15 from the field, including 2 of 9 behind the arc.
No way is he really ready to play in the NBA. But if he believes he'll be drafted in the first round and can receive a guaranteed contract, or someone convinces him of that, Burke might opt to make the move rather than risk injury or having his flaws exposed by staying in college.
Clearly, his best chance to have a decent NBA career, not just collect a quick paycheck, is to continue to develop and prove himself as a standout collegiate player. It's the best way to lock down that first-round selection and guaranteed money.
Sorry, Trey. That's just one more outsider's opinion, but it's the truth.
You're right; it's your life. But no one wants to see you make a bad decision.
Be patient, return to college for at least one more season and then re-evaluate your situation a year from now.


This appetizer has a good, unique flavor that's a hit with most!
Place the processed cheese and cream cheese in large bowl of electric mixer; mix until blended. Add Dr. Pepper and mix until light and fluffy. Add remaining ingredients and mix until blended. Shape into 2 balls and chill for 20 minutes. Place in a plastic bag and chill thoroughly. Serve on lettuce leaves on pretty plates, surrounded by a variety of crackers. These need a cheese knife for spreading on crackers.

The tour will introduce the 11th doctor and his companion to fans of the show and offer them a chance to meet the stars at Eden Court Theatre on Bishop's Road.
Each location is hosting a regional premiere of episode one, The Eleventh Hour, for local children.
The actors are travelling on a specially-themed Doctor Who tour bus, featuring the new Tardis logo.
They are joined on the shoot by Caitlin Blackwood who also features in The Eleventh Hour.
BBC Wales head of drama Piers Wenger said: "This is a great opportunity for the new doctor and his companion to interface directly with the people who matter most to Doctor Who, the fans.

Too much turmoil? Try some 'Nice Jokes for Smart People'
With a new album (and a new baby), comedian Arthur Gaus talks about his refreshingly relatable style
By Daniel Bromfield
There's a good chance Nice Jokes for Smart People, the first comedy album from Arthur Gaus, is one of the last live albums that will be recorded this year.
The San Francisco comic recorded the set that comprises Nice Jokes at the Setup on Hyde Street on March 6, 2020. "Then after the late show, the bar was hustling people out, which is uncommon," he says. "Because you know, bars—they're willing to take your money until the crack of two in the morning, usually."
San Francisco County issued a shelter-in-place order ten days later—the same day as the birth of Gaus's first child.
"For me it feels like I'm doing what I would be doing [otherwise]," Gaus says as the new baby wails distantly though the phone. "If there wasn't a pandemic I'd still be taking care of the baby all the time."
Plenty of great comedy albums gain their power from the circumstances under which they were recorded—Tig Notaro opening Live with "hello, I have cancer" four days after her diagnosis, Richard Pryor bringing the Sunset Strip to its knees during his first performance after his suicide attempt. Nice Jokes for Smart People is an unusual case in that it was recorded before a tumultuous change in the comic's life.
Though Nice Jokes is inherently sad because it documents the calm before the storm, Gaus's style doesn't exactly paint a thin line between tragedy and comedy. His style is lighthearted and not especially dark or dirty, delivered in a frenetic fumble of words in which whole sentences are compressed into a couple worried syllables.
He obsesses over America's bizarre fixation with using football fields as a system of measurement. He uses the bumper sticker "Namaste, Bitches!" to explore a theoretical world of hidden violence under Berkeley's sweet hippie façade.
He goes out of his way not to mention Donald Trump in his standup. He gives two reasons for this. The first: "I have 45 minutes, I could have done the Donald Trump album. Or I could talk about everything else that I think is worth ridiculing other than Donald Trump."
The other is that—even though "if you listen to the record, you can figure out pretty easily that I think Donald Trump is like an illiterate ape"—he wouldn't want to alienate a listener who wouldn't give him the time of day if they knew that for sure.
"If somebody's driving in their car in Tulsa, Oklahoma and hears me say the word Donald Trump, they're automatically going to form an opinion about who I am," he says. "He takes up so much oxygen."
Gaus made Nice Jokes for Smart People with a broad audience in mind, but he describes himself as a "San Francisco comic." This is true both of his standup routine, in which he discusses being born in the Haight and living in the Sunset with the sharp eye of a longtime local, and of the environment in which he cut his comedy teeth.
"When I was a kid, there was a show on PBS called Comedy Tonight," Gaus says of his start. "And it was during the San Francisco '80s standup boom. I would watch it with my parents and I thought it looked rad, so I kind of always had it in mind that I would give it a try sometime. And then when I turned 18, I found out there were places you could do that."
He calls himself a "go-to opener" for big comics when they come to the city, including Ed Helms, John Oliver, David Spade, and the "ultimate San Francisco comic" Will Durst.
"People used to tell me I needed to do something on my own, but I felt like there wasn't like a whole lot of outlet for that," Gaus says. "All my comedy friends were moving to LA, and I didn't want move to LA because my home is San Francisco. And so I felt like I could just work and just enjoy it for its own sake."
He dislikes touring ("I hate airports," he says) and made Nice Jokes in part as a way to get his jokes out to the world without having to do the "road-dog thing." He's done a couple Zoom shows and outdoor gigs, but he finds coming up with material difficult now that the flow of interactions and everyday experiences that lead to great comedy have more or less dried up.
"You're supposed to be able to offer commentary on what's happening right now, but what's happening right now is this giant pandemic that's kept me offstage. I haven't been able to write or work out new material, really. So I'm kind of getting a laugh talking about a world that doesn't exist anymore."

Gut Feelings: Emotional and Abdominal Symptoms of Divine Anger in Mesopotamia
by Adam Howe
A cuneiform tablet describes the effects of divine anger on the abdominal-emotional system, including "heart-break" and suppressed appetite. Adam Howe reflects on what this tell us about embodied emotional states in Mesopotamian medical thought, as well as how this might connect with the concept of "eating" a taboo.
Dr. Adam Howe is a teaching associate of Assyriology at the University of Cambridge. His research focuses on the intellectual traditions of ritual, religion, magic, and medicine in first-millennium BC Mesopotamia.
The text BAM 234 is a cuneiform tablet written in the Akkadian language by a scribe named Urad-Aššur, a member of a family of exorcists living in the Mesopotamian city of Assur in the mid-seventh century BCE. The tablet contains instructions and incantations for performing a ritual against the māmītu curse, a kind of self-inflicted punishment for transgressing the divinely established order of society. The ritual uses figurine magic to materialize and destroy a personified, demonic form of the māmītu, accompanied by incantations that appeal to the sun god and divine judge, Šamaš. The text opens with an extensive description of the patient's potential suffering, with symptoms of obvious medical concern alongside negative effects on the victim's social standing and relationships.
If a man has contracted a misfortune and he does not [know] how he contracted it; (if) he constantly suffers from devastation and loss: loss of barley and silver […], loss of male and female slaves; (if) oxen, horses and flocks (of sheep and goat), dogs, pig[s] and people alike are constantly dying; (if) he constantly suffers from "heart-break" (i.e. extreme anxiety or emotional distress); (if he finds himself) speaking without agreement, shouting without response, choosing (his) desire according to (that of) the people (i.e. he does not obtain his own desires); (if), in his bed, he constantly becomes frightened, he suffers from paralysis; (if) his course (in life) does not bring him to god or king; (if) his insides (feel) full, his limbs are splayed (lit. poured out), he becomes frightened again and again; (if) he cannot sleep by day or night, he constantly sees frightening dreams, he suffers from paralysis; (if) he has a reduced appetite for food and drink (lit. bread and beer), he forgets anything he says: that man, the wrath of god and goddess is upon him; his (personal) god (and) his (personal) goddess are angry with him; if that man is sick with "hand of māmītu curse," 'hand of god," "hand of humankind" (i.e. witchcraft), "sickness of sweepings" (i.e. aggressive magic); (if) the sins of father or mother, brother or sister, family, kith (and) kin have indeed seized him: in order to release (all of these afflictions) and in order that his depression (lit. darkenings) does not overcome [him].
BAM 234, obv. 1–12 (author's translation, after edition by Maul)
The Akkadian term māmītu, conventionally translated as "curse," derives from a verb originally meaning "to swear an oath." The concept thus has its origins in the realm of broken oaths—in this case apparently representing an assumed promise to respect the divinely established order of the universe to which every being is bound. By the first millennium BCE, when this text was written, the term māmītu had come to encompass a self-inflicted curse unleashed by transgressions against the divine order, as well as both the demon that attacked the transgressor and the illness that resulted. The phrase "hand of …" was used to describe the ultimate cause of the illness, and it is usually a god or a demon who possesses this agential hand. These formulations are common within Mesopotamian medical tablets.
In this particular case, the hypothetical patient has transgressed against the gods in some way, although this person may not even have been aware of having done so, if it had not been for the suffering that resulted. The various ways in which this suffering might manifest for the transgressor are described in the opening lines of BAM 234, including devastation, loss, heart-break, paralysis, and other such effects. What stands out in this description is the wide range of possible symptoms: social challenges, psychological and emotional problems, and more physical abdominal and digestive symptoms.

Social challenges are represented in the above passage by damage to property and social standing, resulting in loss of favor at the royal court and difficulties communicating with others. Such problems are an appropriate punishment for someone who has transgressed against the established social order and are particularly damaging for the elite men on whose behalf these rituals would have been performed.
Psychological and emotional problems include anxiety, pathological fear, insomnia, and reduced appetite. These symptoms are perhaps to be expected in the context of losing control of one's life and becoming seriously ill. However, they are also closely connected to abdominal symptoms: feelings of fullness and loss of appetite are mentioned in the above passage, but other texts also associate the māmītu curse with internal wind, inflammation of the intestines, and epigastric fever. According to Mesopotamian thought, the abdominal area (Akkadian: libbu) was the center of the body and therefore a seat of the self, internal monologue, and emotions. Since they were essentially considered part of the same edifice, emotional problems and abdominal illnesses occur in close proximity throughout the Mesopotamian medical literature and in other text genres. Descriptions involving the term libbu are often ambiguous as to whether they denote a physical symptom in the abdomen or function more as a metaphor for an emotional state. In the above passage, for example, what I have translated as "the abdomen feels full" could also be understood to mean that the person's "heart is full of anger."
"According to Mesopotamian thought, the abdominal area (Akkadian: libbu) was the center of the body and therefore a seat of the self, internal monologue, and emotions."

This ambiguity raises questions about the precise relationship between emotional imbalances and physical disturbances of the abdomen in the Mesopotamian worldview, including the extent to which emotions were considered embodied rather than cognitive experiences. Should symptoms like reduced appetite be interpreted within the framework of abdominal symptoms? Or as part of the general social disruption that the patient is suffering through divine punishment? Bread and beer—staples of the Mesopotamian diet that stand in here for any food or drink—were essential elements of what it meant to be civilized and socialized. Eating disturbances may be connected to other abdominal symptoms, but they also make sense as part of a divine punishment aiming to isolate someone who has transgressed against divine order. From a Mesopotamian perspective, all of these symptoms, whatever their cause, could be considered part and parcel of the gods' punishment.
This situation is also reflected in the Mesopotamian exorcist's holistic approach to healing: on the one hand, prayers and offerings were made to the gods to appeal for forgiveness and the lifting of the punishment, while, on the other hand, therapeutic interventions were made to treat the bodily symptoms. In the case of the māmītu curse and its abdominal symptoms, this generally involved emetics, laxatives, and enemas. Were physical treatments of the abdomen also considered effective against the emotional problems that were embodied there? This might explain why there is no evidence from Mesopotamia for psychiatric treatment as we would understand it. Instead, psychological conditions were considered the result of physical imbalances and divine anger, which could be treated with both medications and prayers.
"Were physical treatments of the abdomen also considered effective against the emotional problems that were embodied there?"
Treatments like emetics and laxatives reflect a general premise of Mesopotamian medicine that illness came from outside of the body and was caused by external forces, such as gods, demons, witchcraft, and other contaminants that entered through vulnerable points and therefore needing to be expelled, whether physically or through ritual actions, to bring the illness to an end. In a similar vein, other forms of taboo, transgression, and broken oath could be expressed in metaphors related to eating: to "eat a taboo" meant to "break a taboo." Since the māmītu curse was conceptually related to broken oaths, it is tempting to posit a connection between this "eating" phraseology and the resultant abdominal symptoms. It has been argued by Charpin, for example, that the use of eating language in relation to curses had its origins in ritual acts of eating and drinking that accompanied oath-taking ceremonies, acting as an assurance against the breaking of the oath.
Even if the language of eating was chiefly metaphorical, it is important to remember that metaphor played a key role in ancient Mesopotamian medical discourse as a tool for explaining the workings of illness and the body, especially if there were no easily observable physical processes behind the symptoms. Understanding the māmītu curse as some sort of physical contaminant that could be "eaten" and thus enter the digestive tract would appear to provide a relatively straightforward explanation for the associated abdominal symptoms. Whether wittingly or not, Mesopotamian healers might have incorporated this sort of metaphorical thinking into their medical theories.
. . . to "eat a taboo" meant to "break a taboo." Since the māmītu curse was conceptually related to broken oaths, it is tempting to posit a connection between this "eating" phraseology and the resultant abdominal symptoms."
Beyond scientific medical discourse, we also tend to think about the impact of socially transgressive actions in terms of their embodied effects. For instance, the physical experience of guilt includes abdominal pain or discomfort. Yet, since the sufferer of the māmītu curse does not know their particular transgressions, it is hard to imagine what they might feel "guilty" about in any straightforward sense. The physical symptoms would have been the first indication of divine displeasure, and it was these embodied sensations that provided the impetus for them to seek professional help in the first place. We cannot therefore map a straightforward causal chain from an underlying cause to an abstract illness and its resulting symptoms. This is not surprising in a world in which a person's health and wellbeing was so intimately connected to their relationship with the gods. The Mesopotamian approach to illness and medicine attends not just to the condition of the body and mind but also to an individual's interaction with the surrounding world. The individual body in Mesopotamia functions as part of a larger whole, in terms of both human society and the wider cosmos. This contrasts with many modern Western conceptions that regard the body as self-contained and detached from its environment. If the close connection between emotional problems and corporeal parts seems strange to us, maybe we should instead ask whether it is stranger to have treated psychological and physical illness as distinct phenomena, or either of these as separable from the worlds in which they are enmeshed.

What is more surprising—to treat emotional problems such as somehow separate from the body, or to talk about anxiety, heartbreak, and depression as digestive issues?
Can we interpret the consequences of the māmītu curse as a single disease known within a modern, biomedical framework, such as anxiety or IBS? What are the advantages and disadvantages of this kind of retrospective diagnosis?
We tend to assume that naturalistic medicine (i.e. drugs, surgery) is separate from religious healing practices (such as prayers), but ancient Mesopotamian healing traditions do not seem to have treated these two approaches as separate. How can we observe naturalistic and religious understandings of illness at play in the curse tablet examined here? What motivates a society to separate or integrate naturalistic and religious approaches to health? Are there examples that you can think of even within a modern medical framework where a naturalistic understanding of the disease becomes entangled with moral or religious concerns?

Chestnuts are traditional Christmas fare, but for centuries countryfolk in southern Italy have also used an infusion of the leaves to treat inflamed and infected skin. Around 2000, this attracted the attention of scientists at Emory University in Atlanta USA, who found the infusion to be effective against MRSA infections. But puzzlingly, it has no antibiotic effect and kills no bacteria. Eventually they discovered that it stops the signalling molecules that trigger toxin production by the staphylococci. This keeps infections benign, and incidentally means that there is no evolutionary pressure to develop resistance to sweet chestnut! The moral of this story is: respect southern Italians (and not just the Mafiosi).
All life needs energy, and uses it in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). All eukaryotes (fungi, plants and animals including us) have mitochondria within their cells to make ATP efficiently: except for a very few, single celled species such as some yeasts.
It has now been discovered that mistletoe (viscum album) also has largely disabled mitochondria and cannot make ATP the efficient way. So how does it survive? Potentially it can make ATP by an inefficient process called glycolysis. Also, it may save energy in the long run by stealing its sugars from its host. Even something as familiar as Christmas mistletoe still has secrets!

A fund that's in the ex-dividend period is marked with an "x" in newspaper listings.
Daily Accrual Fund: This type of fund typically declares income dividends each day that its net asset value is calculated. These dividends remain in the fund until the designated reinvestment or payment date and are distributed to the shareholders, generally once a month, as additional shares or cash, respectively.
This fund is an ex-Dividend fund

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. The fund's share price and yield will be affected by interest rate movements. Bond prices generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. Thus, as the prices of bonds in the fund adjust to a rise in interest rates, the fund's share price may decline. Changes in the financial strength of a bond issuer or in a bond's credit rating may affect its value. The fund's portfolio includes a substantial portion of higher-yielding, lower-rated corporate bonds because of the relatively higher yields they offer. Floating-rate loans are lower-rated, higher-yielding instruments, which are subject to increased risk of default and can potentially result in loss of principal. These securities carry a greater degree of credit risk relative to investment-grade securities. Stock prices fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and dramatically, due to factors affecting individual companies, particular industries or sectors, or general market conditions. These and other risk considerations are discussed in the fund's prospectus.

Halifax erases homemade crosswalk
Halifax Regional Municipality has added a new layer of paint to the corner of Applewood Lane and Waverley Road, wiping out an unofficial crosswalk painted on by local homeowners last week.
Residents fuming they weren't consulted before city eliminated the lines

Fresh paint covers a homemade crosswalk in Dartmouth. (CBC)
Halifax Regional Municipality has added a new layer of paint to the corner of Applewood Lane and Waverley Road, wiping out an unofficial crosswalk painted by local homeowners last week.
Some people who live in the area were furious the city decided to remove the crossing point – one of nine spots in the city.
"It's kind of silly really," said Ian Marshall, who has two small children. "The city seems to be very quick to respond to our crosswalk. They're drawing a line in the sand where they don't want to put it back. Period."
Marshall and many of his neighbours are convinced the crosswalk is necessary.
"There's a lot of people in our little cul-de-sac with a lot of children," he said. "It has to come back."
The eliminated crosswalks were cut after a 2007 report that set new standards. Ken Reashor, Halifax's traffic authority, said some crosswalks can make certain situations more dangerous.
Ken Reashor says the majority of pedestrian accidents occur in crosswalks. (CBC)
"I know people rely on those things, and that's part of the concern, is the relying on the white lines and the signs to make traffic stop, and that's not happening."
Reashor said the majority of pedestrian accidents in 2012 have been in marked crosswalks.
Reashor said in the past, the crosswalks were installed because of political pressure. He said now, decisions are not based on what's popular, but what's safe.
"I understand their concern, but this is what we're trying to do, is education. Not only the drivers but also pedestrians."
Meanwhile, Marshall said his battle isn't over. He said the community plans on putting up signs in protest.
"Hopefully something will be done soon."
The neighbours are also hoping the new city council – which is being sworn in Tuesday night – will make this a key issue at their first meeting.
