Releasing a film more expensive than making it: Sanjay Suri
By Indo Asian News Service -
Actor-producer Sanjay Suri says though making a film has become more affordable after the emergence of digital platforms, but releasing a movie in theatres continues to be a challenge.
He started his film journey as an actor in 1999 with the film "Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi". Since then, he has seen the struggle that indie cinema is facing.
Asked if the digital platforms have helped in facilitating content-driven films to reach a wider audience, Sanjay told IANS: "I think indie films are real stories that we are making out of passion. We do not have anything — the luxury of the budget or the star power to pull the audience in the theatre… Nothing.
"All we have is a story. Yes, in the last few years, the opportunity of telling slightly out-of-the-box stories has increased. But releasing and marketing a film has become tougher than ever, and that is worrisome for filmmakers like us."
Sanjay co-owns the banner Anticlock Films with filmmaker Onir. They have produced films like "My Brother Nikhil", "I Am", "Chauranga" and "Shab". Their new project is "My Birthday Song", which marks the directorial debut of Samir Soni, features Sanjay and is releasing on January 19.
The release cost of indie films has become very prohibitive for filmmakers to make these movies, said Sanjay.
"There is a monster called paid promotion or what you called advertorial that is ruining the room for us. Look at any mainstream media today. We do not get a place to promote our films because we do not have such huge budget.
"I think we should learn it from southern film industry where they have a limitation on promoting a film and its ticket price. I know it is an anti-capitalist, free market also, but today this mindset is reflecting on every publication where they are supporting some trashy films because that banner is able to pay the amount of money to the publication.
"They don't give space to a good film in their magazine or newspaper because we have no money to buy media. Doesn't it also reflect their editorial stand on new-age cinema'" he questioned.
Looking at the transformation of pop culture, it is interesting to observe how the people are developing an interest in watching a film in a multiplex with its comfortable environment, and so, the lines between an audience — say for a "Om Shanti Om" and "Heyy Babyy" vis-a-vis a "Bheja Fry" — are blurring.
Earlier, there was a visible distinction between the audience.
Sanjay said: "Well, you have to understand that every offline space is known for certain things. There is a theatre in Kolkata called Nandan, which is known for exhibiting certain kind of films. On the other hand, a shopping mall is known for selling products. So when someone is entering that space, they may not be interested to watch a film that is showing a mirror to the society.
"They would rather prefer to watch a film that suits the pop-culture, and watch our film on Netflix. We cannot change that, but at the same time, film education for the audience is needed if we want our films to survive."
Whether a superstar like Aamir Khan is narrating the story of a father who struggles for preparing his daughters to become wrestlers or Akshay Kumar addresses some social issues like open defecation — the Hindi film industry is seeing that big stars are backing thought-provoking subjects with their movies.
Asked if he looks at that change as a ray of hope for film producers like him who support meaningful cinema, Sanjay said: "If I am making a film without a big name, it is still as difficult as it used to be. We can make a film in Rs 50 lakh now, but surely cannot release it on that same amount. That scene has never changed for a producer. No."
However, Sanjay is hopeful about the booming digital space and how that space is celebrating the art of storytelling in all forms.
"I think in the coming few years, many indie filmmakers will find a prominent space in digital media, and will be making more web-series and short films. It's going to be a gradual shift, but I can see it is happening."

My name is Amanda and I am a recipe google addict. Phew, I said it and feel so much better. Thank you.
Googling recipes and reading what other have created helps sparkle inspiration and motivation to create my own. And in the beginning when I had no idea how to cook, I used others recipes to learn. The more comfortable I became in the kitchen the easier it was for me to trust my instincts when it came to blending flavours and spices. And because I learned from so many other great home cooks out there, I still love trolling through blogs and reading what amazing creations they are coming up with.
Hence, red lentil pizza crust. This recipe is too easy and too amazing not to share even though it's not mine. So I have to because frankly, you deserve to know it! And although I usually adapt and change recipes that I find, I simply couldn't with this one. Maybe I will on a later date, for now, it's perfect as it is.
The recipe calls for 2 cups of red lentils. A 450g bag is basically equivalent to 2 cups, but takes away the step of measuring. And choose organic lentils if you can as conventional ones can be highly sprayed with pesticides, like Round Up, right before harvesting. Leave the pesticides out of your pizza!
I made a double batch of this recipe and it was hard on my blender. I like doubling up so that I can freeze and have for fast pizza making on a later date. Next time I want to batch cook I'll just do one portion and then another while I'm cooking the first batch.
I liked this crust best with some added sausage (our own homemade turkey sausage to be exact!) simply for the added oils. But if you're going full vegan, just add a light brushing of oil before you add the tomato sauce.
If you do freeze your crusts, defrost them and then cook as recommended.
I think that's everything! So without further ado, click below to take you to this fantastic recipe by Vie de la Vegan.

Thirdwayv Completes Its Advisory Board with Addition of Five Leaders from the IoT, Security, Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Industries
By Thirdwayv Dated: March 24, 2020
Business Wire: March 24, 2020
Irvine, Calif., – Thirdwayv, a leading provider of end-to-end connectivity and security solutions for IoT applications, today announced it has completed the formation of its Advisory Board with the appointment of five executives from a cross section of industries and disciplines that are fueling the next major wave of connected medical solutions and other safety-critical products and services.
The five industry veterans who have joined Dr. Aiman Abdel-Malek, the Thirdwayv Advisory Board's executive chairman, include David C. Klonoff, M.D., who is founder of the Diabetes Technology Society that was key in driving the development of digital diabetes systems globally. He is the medical director at a prominent diabetes research institute, a clinical professor of medicine at the University of California at San Francisco and founding editor-in-chief of the Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology. He also was principal investigator in more than 100 clinical trials of diabetes drugs and devices and lead investigator in the first randomized controlled multicenter trial of an outpatient artificial pancreas product.
Dr. Klonoff coined the term diabetes technology and has received repeated recognition for his work in this area from organizations including the FDA, American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE), and Dr. Mohan's Diabetes Specialties Centre and Madras Diabetes Research Foundation of Chennai, India. He has spoken before the European Parliament and U.S. Congressional Diabetes Caucus, participated in the White House Health and Cybersecurity Roundtable, and served on 56 grant review panels plus agencies in nine foreign countries, among other industry contributions.
Thirdwayv's other new Advisory Board members also have made valuable contributions to the industry based on their own respective areas of expertise:
David Kleidermacher: As Google's vice president of engineering, head of Android security and privacy, Kleidermacher is dedicated to the vision of a trustworthy, scalable IoT, including mobile devices, connected embedded systems and cloud infrastructure. He is an authority on embedded systems security, captured in the book he published on the subject, and is a frequent speaker at industry events. He was previously chief security officer at BlackBerry.

He is a leading authority on vaccines and currently is the president of REFF Consulting. He consults with Gates Foundation, large Pharma companies, biotechnology firms and startups on strategic planning, chemistry manufacturing and control, and quality operations.
Michael L. Levitz: Most recently chief financial officer and senior vice president at Insulet Corporation, Levitz was instrumental in driving improvements in the company's financial strategy, planning and execution in a rapid-growth environment. Prior to Insulet, as chief financial officer of Analogic Corporation, he played a key role in strategic and operational change helping deliver significant value creation. Levitz has spent most of his career in high-growth, publicly-traded medical technology organizations, including Cytyc Corporation and Hologic, Inc.
Yoshi Noguchi: As president and CEO of InterBusiness Corporation, Noguchi serves on the boards of technology firms in the U.S. and Japan where he advises on topics ranging from growth strategy formulation to strategic partnering and funding initiatives. He has been CEO of two successful startups, the managing partner of the technology practice of an executive search firm, and a sales executive for large data storage companies.
"In addition to offering extensive expertise in financial strategy and business development, our new Advisory Board members include leading innovators in highly specialized fields such as pharmaceutical quality assurance and diabetes treatment that are rapidly adopting IoT technology," said James Kamke, chief executive officer, Thirdwayv. "Along with Dr. Abdel-Malek, they will provide the guidance we need to scale our business and meet growing customer demand that has quickly accelerated following the incorporation of our products into a commercialized medical device that has been cleared by the FDA."

Officer Daniel Talbot (My Fox Boston)
More Daniel Talbot news coming out of Revere. It was reported today that the ranking officer on the scene of the Talbot murder last September faces dismissal from the force due to his behavior. As I reported back in November, it was determined that Sergeant Evan Franklin of the Revere Police Department was on the scene when Officer Talbot and his posse got into a verbal altercation with Derek Lodie, who allegedly called up Robert Iacoviello, Jr. who came upon the scene. Then, according to Franklin's lawyer, the group of officers approached Lodie and Iacoviello anticipating a fistfight. Talbot was hit in the head and died a day later, while no one else was hit and the police officers who returned fire (Officers Soto and Bruzzese) were unable to hit the shooter. Numerous questions about this case remain unanswered, but if Sergeant Franklin's behavior is any indication, something is not right about this entire situation.
In a scalding letter, Revere Police Chief Terence K. Reardon lays out Franklin's conduct that night and why he should no longer be a police officer. The story goes as follows: Once the shooting started and Officers Soto and Bruzzese returned fire, Franklin bolted from the scene. Reardon says that Franklin ran "a considerable distance from the scene," and came upon on-duty officer Robert Impemba. Franklin, being a sergeant, ordered Impemba to drive him home (apparently Franklin was so drunk that Impemba had to help him out of the back seat of the cruiser). When Impemba asked Franklin if everything was OK, Franklin lied and said yes. The lies continued, as Franklin, who neglected to let the department know that an officer had been shot, lied to State Troopers about how he got home and that he did not know that someone had been shot.
Sergeant Evan Franklin (Christopher King Blog)
Now Franklin's lawyer, Neil Rossman, claims that one of the reasons that Franklin did not stick around was because he was unarmed. Chief Reardon addresses this in his letter, because apparently Franklin left his department-issued handgun in the back of Officer Soto's car, which was unlocked (which violates department rules and state law.) Rossman also said that people should not criticize his client for his behavior because all the officers were drunk and lured into an ambush. So I guess it's official that the officers were drunk. Also, Franklin was the only one to run (even Talbot's fiance, who is not trained in police tactics and was also [assumedly] unarmed appears to have stuck around.) It seems there is little, if anything, that can justify the way that Franklin acted in this situation. Franklin was also chastised by Chief Reardon for not discouraging his comrades from breaking the law by drinking in public (him being the ranking officer). Of course, this is not the first time that Sergeant Evan Franklin has run afoul of the law. According to the Daily Item of Lynn, Franklin and a friend (Todd Randall) were involved in a two-car accident on Route 1 in August of 1995 and fled the scene on foot. The two men were soon to graduate from the police academy, but resigned from the force following the incident. Franklin was re-hired after going through the police academy again in May 1997.
Revere Mayor Thomas Ambrosino
(Revere Journal)
So where does this leave the case? Well, the ranking officer involved lied about the incident to State Police investigators, which makes me think that something that has not been made public lies beneath the surface of this entire debacle. We still do not know why Talbot and his group argued with Lodie. We still do not know what caused shots to be fired. We also do not know why the officers did not call on-duty (and sober) officers to the scene when they got into an argument with Lodie. It also seems odd that some thug would be able to hit Talbot in the head and escape any bullet wounds from trained officers of the law shooting back. Additionally, the Daily Item's attempt to have the videotape from Revere High public surveillance cameras made public was denied, with the judge in the case saying that because the tape is still being used in a grand jury investigation it cannot be released. I can only assume, then, that the grand jury investigation continues and not all responsible parties have been rounded up (at least to the prosecutor's content), which begs the question: how long will this case be drawn out?
Sergeant Evan Franklin's behavior speaks for itself. It seems ridiculous that he is fighting the fact that his breaking several laws and lying to State Police investigators about an incident in which a fellow police officer was killed warrants his dismissal from the force. He has been getting paid administrative leave since September 29, 2007 (minus the five day unpaid suspension). It looks like he has little to complain about, and I would argue that he has gotten off pretty easy considering what he's done (public drinking, leaving firearms unsecured, lying to investigators, etc.) It will be interesting to see if Revere Mayor Thomas G. Ambrosino uses common sense or keeps Franklin on the force. What occurred that night back in September on the property of Revere High School continues to be shrouded in mystery.

Three years ago, the University of Michigan student startup Seelio began on a kitchen table in Ann Arbor as a prototype website to help students better tell the story of their academic achievements. This week, Seelio announced it has been acquired by PlattForm, a Kansas-based company specializing in academic program support, career preparation, marketing, and recruiting services for higher education. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Under the new partnership, Seelio will continue to be its own unique brand with the same team, titles, and university partners. Lee says the deal will allow Seelio to invest PlattForm's resources into its services and technology to drive growth. Lee also says Seelio will keep its office in Ann Arbor so it can take advantage of the wealth of local talent with a deep knowledge of the higher education market.
When Seelio launched, Lee envisioned it as an alternative to LinkedIn for the Millennial set—a place where students could showcase their talent, experience, and hobbies. For example, users could create a page that detailed a fictional company created for a business course complete with photos, videos, and information about the company's business model.
Last year, Seelio announced it had raised a $900,000 seed round from the First Step Fund, the Michigan Pre-Seed Capital Fund, and a number of angel investors. At that time, Seelio also introduced its enterprise product, called Seelio for Educators. At the time, Lee said popular demand from students had led to universities asking for branded portfolio networks of their own. Seelio piloted the Seelio for Educators program, which included activity feeds and custom analytics tools, at MIT, University of Michigan, Towson, Georgetown, UCLA , and the University of Texas at Austin.
Lee says Seelio for Educators is now a full-blown offering, with the partnership expediting its ability to scale. "We've had a lot of interest from other universities and a zero-rate of attrition [from places that have adopted the program]," he explains.

China has detained an outspoken government critic and blocked access to many Internet services, as the government braces for the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square pro-democracy protests.
Users have posted angry messages on available sites after popular social networking Web site Twitter was blocked Tuesday. Several other Internet services were also out two days before the anniversary of the Chinese military's bloody suppression of the protests in Beijing on June 4, 1989.
The New York-based group Human Rights in China reports that prominent dissident Wu Gaoxing was seized Saturday at his home south of Shanghai. He is one of five people who signed an open letter to the government asking for better treatment of former Tiananmen Square protesters.
China has never allowed an independent investigation into the crackdown, and the number of victims remains a taboo subject.
Chinese authorities have stepped up security around Tiananmen Square to prevent any demonstration marking the event.
The Foreign Correspondents' Club of China says that police have prevented at least four TV crews from entering the square and harassed a reporter who interviewed the mothers of the victims.
The group says on its Web site Tuesday that it has received reports of the authorities harassing journalists and their sources. Foreign correspondents cite reports of university students being interrogated after talking to journalists and of tighter censorship of Web sites, publications and TV channels.
Reports from Taiwan say lawmakers of the ruling Kuomintang Party delayed a vote on a resolution calling on Beijing to apologize to the victims of 1989 Tiananmen Square killings.


Hi this is Joshua Jones I'm repeatedly running into the same situation, wondering if anyone can help me! I obtained a business license in hopes of become a drop shipper in the electronics category. I've searched for over a month and consistently run into the same issue, low or non existent profit margins!
I've spent weeks applying to dozens of different distributors only to find out that there pricing does not allow me to even turn a profit on ebay. I've read that ebay has basically turned into a whole sale site and the only way to be competitive is to order in bulk. What are other selling platforms that are profitable for someone new to drop shipping?
I don't have a ton of capital to invest into inventory, my selling preference would be phone, tablet, laptop accessories, blue tooth devices, gadgets but I am open to selling just about any type of electronics/accessories. I've landed quite a few accounts with varied distributors only to find out I can't compete. Does anyone have any suggestions for distributors that allow drop shipping or distributors that sell mixed lots with a moq of around $500 that I could turn a profit on?
I see the potential of e-commerce but I'm seriously struggling any points in the right direction would be greatly appreciated! One last thought on the subject. Is it the that I've chosen to pursue selling electronics the reason I'm struggling so much? it seems the electronics category profit margins fail to produce with drop shipping, name brand or off brand, Is a $1 - $3 an acceptable margin??
Thank you for your reply I will look into it!
You've really got a few things in play here and you've pretty much identified some of them in your post. For all intense and purposes, eBay has pretty much evolved into a wholesale site, that doesn't mean you can't make money through Drop-Shipping, but it does mean that you've got to be smart about it.
The category you've picked, electronics, is a HOT market and HOT markets mean quick turnover on products because of the popularity of the products. Now, if you're a cashed-up reseller buying in large volume to ensure you are at the top of the barrel margin wise and you have all this stock to clear now, what market would you want to be selling in?
It stands to reason that cashed-up resellers swarm over hot markets because they need to sell all that stock they have purchased as soon as possible. So now what you have is a market full of cashed-up resellers, playing with wholesalers themselves, all cutting their margins down to try and clear stock, making their profit on fast turnover.
Drop-Shipping has its advantages, but high-profit margins, like those you may attain with large wholesale buying, don't exist in the real world. So do you see the picture unfolding here of what you are going up against in the market and the marketplace you have chosen to deal in?
You've picked a super popular road for Drop-Shippers as many want to move into that same market, but you've got some serious work cut out for you to make it in a market like that when you are up against the type of sellers you will be competing with.
So what does a smart Drop-Shipper do?
It's just my opinion, of course, and I am NOT a Drop- Shipper myself. But if I were, I would be fishing in the pond where the big boats weren't, not where they were. Yes, much slower markets, but when you're Drop-Shipping in those types of markets, it's about identifying as many of them as you can to create your turn over that way, rather than have all your eggs in the one basket that is being raided by Foxes right under your nose!

We are what we do repeatedly, not what we say we will do. That's why having a routine is so imperative to any individuals success. I pretty much do the same thing every single morning and night. I'm sure many of you have your own routine whether you know it or not. Some of you may wake up, and lift your pillow, lift your blanket, then get up and flip the other pillow, then slowly look around and notice that your phone fell off the bed and landed on the floor. Then after you grab your phone you might scroll through the gram or twitter or check the sports news. Something along those lines, and if your smiling saying (he don't know me) then chances are your right. But next thing you know its 8:30 and you've been awake since 7:30. And you haven't done anything to help get you in the right mood to start your day. What you do in that first hour can make a big difference on how your day goes. I'm a big believer in using your time wisely and efficiently. Every morning I get up, I say a quick prayer, and then I grab my book and start reading for a minimum of forty minutes. I usually go over that, but I set that as a minimum. Before I go to bed I do the same thing. If you are looking for a good positive way to start your day off and dominate the week, here are some things that might help push you in that direction.
I love reading, you can learn almost anything in books. There is so much knowledge and great stories in books, or if you need a spark of inspiration there are many books out there that can assist that (Including mine, just saying). Charles William Eliot says "Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers". Start your day with a good book.
Make a list of the things you need to do and get done for that day, I believe that if you physically make the effort to write it down, you will try a little harder to follow through with what you've written. When you write down anything, those words now travel to your subconscious mind and informs you that you need to get it done. It's not a coincidence when we say, "I know I was supposed to do something, but I can't really remember what." That's your mind trying to tell you to get back on track. Make your list, and work through until you complete what needs to be completed.
Don't let anybody tell you that you can only be good at one thing. We are all capable of being great and many different things. We all have different passions and similar paths. When my first book came out it was made up of small notes I would make on my phone, or notebooks, or sticky notes or wherever I could write. I had no idea that it would turn into a book, but writing is something i'm passionate about and I made it into a habit to do this daily. I've now written two books and working on two more for the future. My point is, feed your passions, if your a writer, or painter, or artist, or singer, or song writer or whatever it is that makes your heart feel good, indulge in it every single day, even if its for five minutes out of your day. If you don't have five minutes to invest in yourself, you don't have a life. Don't let the clock run out, live in your passion.
I'm not a big meditator I'm still working on this one, but my mind runs a million miles a minute, so I try ways to slow it down. This is one way that I do, I will usually put on a podcast, lay it on the bed beside me and I will lay there (usually in the dark cause I'm a vampire) and just zone in on the words. Usually I'm listening to a Ted Talk, or a speech or interview while I'm doing this so I can truly tune in on the message. When you shut off all other distraction and senses and focus on just one thing, usually your brain will be able to focus on that one thing, even if it's for ten minutes. The positive intake that you can control will go a long way.
Gratitude in my opinion is one of the most over-looked virtues. It's human nature to always want more, to want something better, to want this, to want that, we're always moving forward and thinking about the future. I've been guilty of this myself, we all have. We compare lives, we compare situations and circumstances, we compare our stories to others and from this we sometimes intend to overlook the good things we have going for ourselves. Along my own walk, I've realized that, God won't bring any new favors in your life until you show him your grateful with the things you do have already. Just because you might not be where you want to be, remind yourself that your a lot further than where you once were before. Water your own grass, feed your own mind, walk your own path, and know that your time will come, some people's times comes sooner than others, some people have to wait longer than others, but don't get discouraged, continue planting your seeds and no matter if your glass is half empty or half full, be grateful there is something in it.
Make it a habit to self-assess yourself daily, weekly and monthly. It's only through honest self-assessment that we get an understanding on what we need to improve on. For example, we talked about making a list, when you get home and started to unwind for the night, recheck your list, and start to acknowledge what you completed and what you didn't complete. Then after that, write down how your day went, write down what you didn't like, and then take a breath and write down all the good things that happened that day, some days you might write down more than other days, but get in the habit of finishing on a positive note.
If you already have a routine that works for you, then by all means continue doing that, but if you don't then I challenge you to create your routine. One that works for you, you don't have to use any of my points above, but it might help get your started on your own, but always put something positive in your head before you step out that door. Remember, motivation is temporary, which is why you must be consistent with positive intake, every single day of your life.
If you have few moments to spare, let me know what you think of the post and I would like to hear some of your own daily routines and how they have benefited you. Feel free to share as well.

If you've been following the news, you probably know that there is a great hype around the cryptocurrency market nowadays. It's not just about stratospheric rises in the value of various coins, but blockchain technology, the framework the cryptocurrencies are built upon. Being a decentralized public ledger, blockchain technology possesses great reliability and transparency, thus providing a great solution for people who deal with a considerable amount of information.
This innovative technology has already been proposed as a way of transforming governance, the economy, businesses and the functioning of organizations. Soon, the blockchain revolution will come for the education sector.
The disruptive and decentralized nature of the blockchain hasn't gone unnoticed by institutions within the traditional system. For instance, Holberton School in San Francisco, which offers project-based education, uses blockchain technology to create and store issued certificates.
Tutellus demonstrates that data storage is not the only issue that blockchain is able to solve. Underpinned by its NEM-based blockchain, the Tutellus platform offers a first-of-its-kind incentive system to the benefit of both teachers and students.
"Our ecosystem will pay students for learning and remunerate teachers according to their impact in the success of their students. It's simple: the more you learn, the more money you get, the more relevant you are in the Community and the more visible you become to companies that may be interested in you", Miguel Caballero, CEO of Tutellus, says.
In contrast to other greenfield projects in the blockchain-enabled education field, the Tutellus platform is not started from scratch. Tutellus first launched its platform in May 2013, and has since built a base of 1 million loyal students, 130 000 video courses, and 3000 teachers.
The Tutellus ecosystem provides two kinds of tokens for its users: TUT and Smart TUT (STUT). The former, TUT token, is designed for clients to be able to purchase services and video courses on the platform. The students' relevance and rating will be measured in STUT (Smart TUT) tokens.
Having partnered with Cryptonomos platform, Tutellus is now about to join the "ICO hype". It launches its own ICO in mid-May, 2018. A pre-sale of TUT tokens begins on May 10. During this period, Tutellus provides users with a 20% bonus; the minimum purchase amount is 5 ETH.
A public token sale begins on June 12, 2018 and stays open until either July 12 or the hardcap of $40 million is reached.
3. Acceptable means of payment: ETH, BTC, XEM, LTC, BCH, ZCASH, DASH.
4. Bonuses for early birds: up to 10%.
Tutellus also offers special bonuses for large investors that are discussed individually with every purchaser.
Company attaches the great importance to the further use of the funds raised. Tutellus plans to allocate the funds to product and engineering (40%), sales and marketing (20%), publicity and PR (20%), operations (10%), security, loyalty and reserves (10%).
To participate in Tutellus ICO, visit the website tutellus.cryptonomos.com and go through the Know Your Client (KYC) procedure to enter the whitelist.

I didn't watch today's livestream (sorry Comp), but this time it was an entire hour! Wooo!
We now have Ranko's line stickers!!! Okay, now to the serious stuff.
The second live for the 10th anniversary was announced this weekend. It's "Black", a regular one man live under the concept of black. June 29 at Shibuya Rex. Japanese fans wondered if this live will have songs with "kuro"/"black" in their titles, like Makkuro na Yuki, In The Black or everybody's favourite song Black Sunflower. Things aside, more info will be announced on a later date!
Meanwhile, Buta Lounge is on Sunday! As a reminder, tickets are sold out and you can't even buy them at the venue.
Today the first episode of the fourth season of Meow Meow Japanese History aired in Japan. It featured a new opening composed by Comp and with vocals by the idol group elfin'. The anime was supposedly to be simulcasted on Crunchyroll, but looks like I can only watch the last episode of the 3rd season… American accounts can watch the other episodes, but they still didn't add the newest one. MMJH is also a very obscure anime outside of Japan, so I can't check some shady sources. I will probably check again later, or listen to the opening once the single will be released, on May 22!
– I just want to say that she posted this picture a couple of hours after the Komeiji takeover started.

Drivers of Health
Moving Towards Equity: New Knowledge on Drivers of Health Webinar Series
Healthy behavior matters. So are we responsible if we get sick?
This post, by William Gardner, originally appeared on The Incidental Economist. Dr. Gardner is a psychologist. He is the Senior Research Chair in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario Research Institute, and Professor of Epidemiology at the University of Ottawa. He tweets at @Bill_Gardner.
I have been warned my whole life that I shouldn't smoke. The evidence that smoking affects health is overwhelming. Suppose I understand all this, but I smoke anyway. And then I get lung cancer. Am I responsible for what happened to me, given that I was aware of the consequences yet behaved recklessly anyway?
Whether we are responsible for our health affects how we think about health policy. The ACA subsidizes insurance, and thus the cost of health care, for millions of Americans. Many people feel that it is right to care for those who are ill through no fault of their own, but they do not understand why they should be responsible when someone becomes sick through reckless behaviour or self-indulgence. Our intuition is that such people are (to some degree) morally responsible for their fate.
And yet there are powerful arguments that humans cannot be morally responsible for their actions.
In a classic article in moral philosophy, Galen Strawson offers an argument, which I will call the Basic Argument, which appears to prove that we cannot be truly or ultimately morally responsible for our actions. According to the Basic Argument, it makes no difference whether determinism is true or false. We cannot be truly or ultimately morally responsible for our actions in either case.
The Basic Argument has various expressions in the literature of free will, and its central idea can be quickly conveyed. (1) Nothing can be causa sui — nothing can be the cause of itself. (2) In order to be truly morally responsible for one's actions one would have to be causa sui, at least in certain crucial mental respects. (3) Therefore nothing can be truly morally responsible.
From which it follows,
The evident consequence of the Basic Argument is that there is a fundamental sense in which no punishment or reward is ever ultimately just. It is exactly as just to punish or reward people for their actions as it is to punish or reward them for the (natural) colour of their hair.
If you are like me, you have great trouble believing this. I can't believe this and (easily) do ordinary things like raising children to respect other's rights, serving on a jury that judges my fellow citizens, or working out with my wife who should have done the dishes last night. If you seriously doubt there is such a thing as moral responsibility, it's not easy to think about anything else.
But moral philosophers are under no obligation to be edifying. Let's go through the argument again.
First, it is important that Strawson is not saying that there is no right or wrong. Nor does he assume that holding people responsible for their behavior will have no effect. There is overwhelming evidence that informing people (or animals generally) about the consequences of their behaviors may affect how they behave.
But for all of us sometimes, and some of us many times, we behave in ways that were foreseeably wrong or imprudent in light of the consequences. And let's assume that there are no obvious excuses (we didn't know about the risks, we were distracted, etc.).
Why do we do this? Meaning, what causes this? Let's not evade moral language: when we behave recklessly, it reveals a problem in our character. When we made that choice, there was something about who we were, in a morally relevant sense, such that we did not make the choice that we should have.
However, if we are responsible for that action, and that action was caused by something about our character (that is, who we were) when we chose, then we had to have been responsible for our character. But our character was a result of our genes and our experience. Hence the cause of the action was our genes and our experience. And we aren't responsible for our genes or our experience.
But wait. Of course we are responsible for our characters. Many of us devote great effort to improving our characters (and, similarly, to improving our health). We can't alter our genes, but we can affect what we experience so as to cultivate our moral characters and make better choices.
Strawson does not deny this. But he will point out that some people have been able to act so as to change their moral characters while others have not. What caused that? Clearly, it was some property of character (your 'meta-character', if you like). And when you were improving your character (or not), you did that work because of your genes or your experience (prior to that point).
You can see that Strawson can apply this argument recursively, tying your past actions back to prior states of character and hence to genes or yet earlier experience, all the way back to infancy. There you must concede that infants are not responsible for their actions. Or you need to construct a theology of original sin. Good luck with that.
Or you need to argue that how we choose in a given moment is independent of who we are, that we are causa sui. That is, we 'cause ourselves' in an undetermined way. Good luck with that too.
Now, consider a person who drinks to excess, makes no effort to reduce his drinking despite warnings, and now will die unless he gets a new liver. Livers are scarce; should we give them preferentially to people who were not drinkers? Let's agree that overall welfare will be better giving the liver to a person who is not a drinker, so we are going to make that choice.
Nevertheless, if you make that choice, and you are persuaded by Strawson that there is no such thing as moral responsibility, then you may be troubled by a decision that consigns the drinker to death for behavior for which he was not morally responsible.
Once this argument gets hold of you, it leaves you looking for a place to hide. It's a consolation that many philosophers are unconvinced by Strawson. I haven't resolved what I think about this.
I do think, however, that 'moral hazard' is real. That is, if you create insurance schemes that excessively shield people from the consequences of their behaviors, they will behave more recklessly, and we will all be worse off. But I am careful to put 'moral' in quotes when I think this way. I try to intend no moral condemnation toward those who harm themselves through reckless health behavior.
For a great podcast on the philosophy of moral responsibility and free will, see here. Here is Galen Strawson's website. For lots of TIE writing on moral hazard, look here. Here is Aaron's Healthcare Triage on the topic.

Health behaviors encompass a wide range of human behaviors that affect health including: physical activity; diet; sleep; and tobacco, alcohol, and other substance use. Just as one example, reducing exposure to tobacco has been identified as the single biggest way to prevent morbidity, disability, and early death.
Environmental factors — natural and built — have profound effects on our health. Of course, factors like air quality affect our health, evidenced by a study that demonstrated an association between higher levels of air pollutants O3 and PM2.5 and pediatric pneumonia. Environmental conditions even before birth (present during fetal development) can affect health and well-being into adulthood.
Genetics play a role in the development of certain disease. For example, while cancer is not caused by genetics, most cancers have some genetic determinants. The BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes play a role in tumor suppression, and, when mutated, increase the risk of female breast, ovarian, and other cancers.
Racial Identity is closely associated with health outcomes in the US. For example, African-American adults experience much higher levels of mortality than white adults, from all causes. Racial Identity also plays a role in the accumulated stress from discrimination and in the quality of health care received.
Evidence suggests that gender identity plays a role in health and health care. For example, one study found that women with angina pectoris and low socioeconomic status were referred to cardiologists less frequently than men.
Evidence suggests that education has a causal effect in reducing mortality. Among all age groups, every additional year of school is associated with increased self-reported health status.
Income/Wealth
Income and wealth are associated with health, but through complex pathways. While income and wealth facilitate access to health care, food, and housing, it's also true that good health facilitates labor force participation, potentially leading to higher income. Several studies suggest that income and resources have profound effects in early life and development, but a much smaller effect on adults.
Government/Policy
A wide range of government policies can affect health. For example, in 2007, Australia became the first country to introduce a government-funded human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination program. For years later, significantly lower levels of HPV were present in the population. As another example, studies show that Medicaid expansion in the US facilitates access to care and improves self-reported health outcomes. Policies outside the health system can affect health too. Those pertaining to deportation of undocumented immigrants and same-sex marriage have been linked to health outcomes, for example.
Access & Quality of Healthcare
Medical care is designed to facilitate good health, so both the quality of medical care and access to it influence our health outcomes. One study found that the medically uninsured receive 20% less care after auto accidents and have significantly higher mortality rates than people who are insured.
Occupation is linked to health outcomes, and may both cause health due to the conditions of the job, and be caused by health due to the limitations particular to certain conditions.
Social Circumstances
Social relationships can affect mental and physical health as well as behaviors and mortality risk. The people we are surrounded by (at an early age, parents, and later in life, peers and romantic partners) strongly influence health through mechanisms of stress, social support, and pressure to engage in or avoid risky behaviors.
Race is closely associated with health outcomes in the US. For example, African-American adults experience much higher levels of mortality than white adults, from all causes. Race also plays a role in the accumulated stress from discrimination and in the quality of health care received.

The Gospels Compared
Mark 2:1. Thereading of (4) (5) (6) (W.H(7)) with εἰσελθὼν for εἰσῆλθεν in T. R., and omitting καὶ before ἠκούσθη, gives a ruggedly anacolouthistic construction ("and entering again into Capernaum after days it was heard that He was at home"), which the T. R. very neatly removes. The construction of the sentence, even as it stands in the critically approved text, may be made smoother by taking ἠκούσθη not impersonally, but as referring to Jesus. He entering, etc., was heard of as being at home (Schanz and Holtzmann alternatively).— πάλιν, again, a second time, Mark 1:21 mentioning the first. He has not been there apparently since He left it (Mark 1:35) on the preaching tour in Galilee.— δι' ἡμερῶν, after days, cf. Galatians 2:1; classical examples of this use of διὰ in Wetstein and Elsner. The expression suggests a short period, a few days, which seems too short for the time required for the preaching tour, even if it had been cut short by hostile influence, as is not improbable. The presence of scribes at this scene is very significant. They appear hostile in attitude on Christ's return to Capernaum. They had probably been active before it. Fritzsche translates: interjectis pluribus diebus. For a considerable time διὰ χρόνου would be the appropriate phrase. We get rid of the difficulty by connecting δι' ἡμερῶν with ἠκούσθη (Kloster.), the resulting meaning being that days elapsed after the arrival in Capernaum before people found out that Jesus was there. He had been absent possibly for months, and probably returned quietly.— ἐν οἴκῳ or εἰς οἶκον (T. R.) = at home (in Peter's house presumably); εἰς οἶκον suggests the idea of entrance.
Mark 2:1-12. The palsied man (Matthew 9:1-8; Luke 5:17-26).
Mark 2:2. συνήχθησαν πολλοὶ: with the extraordinary incidents of some weeks or months ago fresh in their memory, a great gathering of the townspeople was inevitable.— ὥστε, etc.: the gathering was phenomenal; not only the house filled, but the space round about the door crowded—no room for more people even there ( μηδὲ), not to speak of within.— τὸν λόγον: the phrase has a secondary sound, as if an echo of the speech of the apostolic church, but the meaning is plain. Jesus was preaching the gospel of the kingdom when the following incident happened. Preaching always first.
Mark 2:3. ἔρχονται: historic present with lively effect. The arrival creates a stir.— φέροντες: this may mean more than the four who actually carried the sick man ( ὑπὸ τεσσάρων), friends accompanying. The bearers might be servants (Schanz).
Mark 2:4. The particulars in this verse not in Mt., who did not care how they found their way to Jesus; enough for him that they succeeded somehow.— προσεγγίσαι (T. R.): here only in N. T. to approach; προσενέγκαι (W.H(8)), to bring near (the sick man understood) to Him, Jesus.— ἀπεστέγασαν τ. σ., removed the roof, to which they would get access by an outside stair either from the street or from the court.— ὅπου ἦν, where He was; where was that? in an upper room (Lightfoot and Vitringa), or in a room in a one-storied house (Holtz., H. C.), or not in a room at all, but in the atrium or compluvium, the quadrangle of the house (Faber, Archäol., Jahn, Archäol.). In the last-mentioned case they would have to remove the parapet (battlement, Deuteronomy 22:8) and let the man down into the open space.— ἐξορύξαντες: not something additional to but explanatory of ἀπεστέγασαν = they unroofed by digging through the material—tiles, laths, and plaster.— κράβαττον: a small portable couch, for the poor, for travellers, and for sick people; condemned by Phryn., p. 62; σκίμπους the correct word. Latin grabatus, which may have led Mk. to use the term in the text.
Mark 2:5. τὴν πίστιν α., their faith, that of the bearers, shown by their energetic action, the sick man not included ( οὐ τὴν πίστιν τοῦ παραλελυμένου ἀλλὰ τῶν κομισάντων, Victor Ant., Cramer, Cat.).— τέκνον, child, without the cheering θάρσει of Mt.
Mark 2:6-12. Thus far of the sick man, how he got to Jesus, and the sympathetic reception he met with. Now the scribes begin to play their part. They find their opportunity in the sympathetic word of Jesus: thy sins be forgiven thee; a word most suitable to the case, and which might have been spoken by any man.— τινες τ. γρ.: Lk. makes of this simple fact a great affair: an assembly of Pharisees and lawyers from all quarters—Galilee, Judaea, Jerusalem, hardly suitable to the initial stage of conflict.— ἐκεῖ καθήμενοι: sitting there. If the posture is to be pressed they must have been early on the spot, so as to get near to Jesus and hear and see Him distinctly.— ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις α.: they looked like men shocked and disapproving. The popularity of Jesus prevented free utterance of their thought. But any one could see they were displeased and why. It was that speech about forgiveness.
Mark 2:7. τί οὗτος οὕτω λάλει; βλασφημεῖ. This reading of (9) (10) (11) (12) is far more life-like than that of the T. R., which exemplifies the tendency of copyists to smooth down into commonplace whatever is striking and original = why does this person thus speak? He blasphemes. The words suggest a gradual intensification of the fault-finding mood: first a general sense of surprise, then a feeling of impropriety, then a final advance to the thought: why, this is blasphemy! It was nothing of the kind. What Jesus had said did not necessarily amount to more than a declaration of God's willingness to forgive sin to the penitent. They read the blasphemy into it.
Mark 2:8. εὐθὺς ἐπιγνοὺς: Jesus read their thoughts at once, and through and through ( ἐπὶ).— τῷ πνεύματι, by His spirit, as distinct from the ear, they having said nothing.
Verse 9-10
Mark 2:9-10, vide notes on Mt.
Mark 2:11. σοὶ λέγω, I say to thee, a part of Christ's speech to the man in Mk., not likely to have been so really; laconic speech, the fewest words possible, characteristic of Jesus.— ἔγειρε, means something more than age (Fritzsche) = come, take up thy bed. Jesus bids him do two things, each a conclusive proof of recovery: rise, then go to thy house on thine own feet, with thy sick-bed on thy shoulder.
Mark 2:12 tells how the man did as bidden, to the astonishment of all spectators.— πάντας, all, without exception, scribes included? (Kloster.) It might have been so had the sentence stopped there. For no doubt the scribes were as much astonished as their neighbours at what took place. But they would not join in the praise to God which followed.— οὕτως οὐδέποτε εἰδομεν: elliptical, but expressive, suited to the mental mood = so we never saw, i.e., we never saw the like.
N.B.—The title "Son of Man" occurs in this narrative for the first time in Mk.'s Gospel; vide on Matthew 8:20; Matthew 9:6.
Mark 2:13 interrupts the continuity of the history. It states that Jesus went out again (cf. Mark 1:16) alongside ( παρὰ) the sea, that the multitude followed Him, and that He taught them. A very vague general notice, serving little other purpose than to place an interval between the foregoing and following incidents.
Mark 2:13-17. Call of Levi, feast following (Matthew 9:9-13; Luke 5:27-32). This incident is not to be conceived as following immediately after that narrated in the foregoing section.
Mark 2:14. λευῒν. Levi, the son of Alphaeus, the name here and in Lk. different from that given in first gospel, but the incident manifestly the same, and the man therefore also; Levi his original name, Matthew his apostle name. Mk. names Matthew in his apostle list (Mark 3:18), but he fails to identify the two, though what he states about Levi evidently points to a call to apostleship similar to that to the four fishermen (Mark 1:16; Mark 1:20). The compiler of the first Gospel, having Mk. before him, and, noticing the omission, substituted the name Matthew for Levi, adding to it λεγόμενον (Mark 9:9) to hint that he had another name.— ἀκολούθει μοι: a call to apostleship (in terms identical in all three Synoptics), and also to immediate service in connection with the mission to the publicans (vide on Mt.).
Mark 2:15. ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ αὐτου: whose house? Not perfectly clear, but all things point to that of Levi. There is no mention of a return to Capernaum, where Jesus dwelt. The custom house may have been outside the town, nearer the shore. Then if the house of Jesus (Peter's) had been meant, the name of Jesus should have stood after οἰκία instead of at the close of the verse. The main point to note is that whatever house is meant, it must have been large enough to have a hall or court capable of accommodating a large number of people. Furrer assumes as a matter of course that the gathering was in the court. "Here in the court of one of these ruined houses sat the Saviour of the lost in the midst of publicans and sinners" (Wanderungen, p. 375).— πολλοὶ, etc.: many to be taken in earnest, not slurred over, as we are apt to do when we think of this feast as a private entertainment given by Mt. to his quond m friends, Jesus being nothing more than a guest.— ἦσαν γὰρ πολλοὶ καὶ ἠκολούθουν αὐτῷ: Mk. here takes pains to prevent us from overlooking the πολλοὶ of the previous clause = for they, the publicans, and generally the people who passed for sinners, were many, and they had begun to follow Him. Some (Schanz, Weiss, etc.) think the reference is to the disciples ( μαθηταῖς), mentioned here for first time, therefore a statement that they were numerous (more, e.g., than four), quite apposite. But the stress of the story lies on the publicans, and Christ's relations with them. (So Holtz., H. C.) It was an interesting fact to the evangelist that this class, of whom there was a large number in the neighbourhood, were beginning to show an interest in Jesus, and to follow Him about. To explain the number Elsner suggests that they may have gathered from various port towns along the shore. Jesus would not meet such people in the synagogue, as they seem to have been excluded from it (vide Lightfoot and Wünsche, ad Matthew 18:17). Hence the necessity for a special mission.
Mark 2:16. ἔλεγον: the scribes advance from thinking (Mark 2:6) to speaking; not yet, however, to Jesus but about Him to His disciples. They note, with disapproval, His kindly relations with "sinners". The publicans and other disreputables had also noted the fact. The story of the palsied man and the "blasphemous" word, "thy sins be forgiven thee," had got abroad, making them prick up their ears, and awakening decided interest in these tabooed circles, in the "Blasphemer".
Mark 2:17. καλέσαι: to call, suggestive of invitations to a feast (Fritzsche, Meyer, Holtz.), and making for the hypothesis that Jesus, not Matthew, was the real host at the social gathering: the whole plan His, and Matthew only His agent; vide notes on Mt. He called to that particular feast as to the feast of the kingdom, the one a means to the other as the end.— δικαίους, ἁμαρτωλούς: Jesus preferred the company of the sinful to that of the righteous, and sought disciples from among them by preference. The terms are not ironical. They simply describe two classes of society in current language, and indicate with which of the two His sympathies lay.
Mark 2:18. καὶ, and, connection purely topical, another case of conflict.— ἦσαν νηστεύοντες, either: were wont to fast (Grotius, Fritzsche, Schanz, etc.), or, and this gives more point to the story: were fasting at that particular time (Meyer, Weiss, Holtz., H. C.).— ἔρχονται καὶ λέγ., they come and say, quite generally; they = people, or some representatives of John's disciples, and the Pharisees.
Mark 2:18-22. Fasting (Matthew 9:14-17, Luke 5:33-39).
Mark 2:19. μὴ δύνανται etc.: the question answers itself, and is allowed to do so in Mt. and Lk. Mk. at the expense of style answers it formally in the negative.— ὅσον χρόνον, etc. For all this the Syriac Vulgate has a simple no.
Mark 2:20. Here also the style becomes burdened by the sense of the solemn character of the fact stated: there will come days when the Bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast—in that day! This final expression, ἐν ἐκείνῃ ἡμέρᾳ, singular, for plural in first clause, is very impressive, although Fritzsche calls it prorsus intolerabile. There is no ground for the suggestion that the phrase is due to the evangelist, and refers to the Friday of the Passion Week (Holtz., H. C.). It might quite well have been used by Jesus.
Mark 2:21. ἐπιρράπτει, sews upon, for ἐπιβάλλει in Mt. and Lk.; not in Greek authors, here only in N. T.; in Sept(13), Job 16:15, the simple verb.— εἰ δὲ μή: vide on εἰ δὲ μήγε in Matthew 9:17.— εἰ δὲ μήγε, etc.: that which filleth up taketh from it ( ἀπ' αὐτοῦ)—the new, viz., from the old; the second clause explanatory of the first.— καὶ χ. σ. γ., and a worse rent takes place.
Mark 2:22. ῥήξει. Pricaeus (ad Matthew 9:17) quotes from Seneca (83 Epist.): "musto dolia ipsa rumpuntur"—of course, a fortiori, old skins.— καὶ ὁ οἶνος, etc.: and the wine is lost, also the skins.— ἀλλὰ, etc.: this final clause, bracketed in W. and H(14), with the βλητέον, probably inserted from Lk., gives very pithy expression to the principle taught by the parable: but new wine into new skins! As to the bearing of both parables as justifying both John and Jesus, vide notes on Mt., ad loc.
Mark 2:23. καὶ ἐγ.: connection with foregoing topical, not temporal; another case of conflict.— αὐτὸν παραπορεύεσθαι: ἐγένετο is followed here by the infinitive in first clause, then with καὶ and a finite verb in second clause. It is sometimes followed by indicative with καὶ, and also without καὶ (vide Burton's Syntax, § 360).— παραπορ. stands here instead of διαπορ. in Lk., and the simple verb with διὰ after it in Mt. It seems intended to combine the ideas of going through and alongside. Jesus went through a corn field on a footpath with grain on either side.— ὁδὸν ποιεῖν is a puzzling phrase. In classic Greek it means to make a road = viam sternere, ὁδὸν ποιεῖσθαι meaning to make way = iter facere. If we assume that Mk. was acquainted with and observed this distinction, then the meaning will be: the disciples began to make a path by pulling up the stalks ( τίλλοντες τοὺς στάχυας), or perhaps by trampling under foot the stalks after first plucking off the ears. The ἤρξαντο in that case will mean that they began to do that when they saw the path was not clear, and wished to make it more comfortable for their Master to walk on. But it is doubtful whether in Hellenistic Greek the classic distinction was observed, and Judges 17:8 (Sept(15)) supplies an instance of ὁδὸν ποιεῖν = making way, "as he journeyed". It would be natural to Mk. to use the phrase in the sense of iter facere. If we take the phrase in this sense, then we must, with Beza, find in the passage a permutata verborum collocatio, and translate as if it had run: ὁδὸν ποιοῦντες τίλλειν: "began, as they went, to pluck," etc. (R. V(16)). The former view, however, is not to be summarily put aside because it ascribes to the disciples an apparently wanton proceeding. If there was a right of way by use and wont, they would be quite entitled to act so. The only difficulty is to understand how a customary path could have remained untrodden till the grain was ripe, or even in the ear. On this view vide Meyer. Assuming that the disciples made a path for their Master by pulling up the grain, with which it was overgrown, or by trampling the straw after plucking the ears, what did they do with the latter? Mt. and Lk. both say or imply that the plucking was in order to eating by hungry men. Meyer holds that Mk. knows nothing of this hunger, and that the eating of the ears came into the tradition through the allusion to David eating the shewbread. But the stress Mk. lays on need and hunger (duality of expression, Mark 2:25) shows that in his idea hunger was an element in the case of the disciples also.
Mark 2:23-28. The Sabbath question (Matthew 12:1-8, Luke 6:1-5).
Mark 2:24. ἔλεγον αὐτῷ. In this case they speak to Christ against His disciples; indirectly against Him.— ὁ οὐκ ἔξεστιν: the offence was not trampling the grain or straw, but plucking the ears—reaping on a small scale; rubbing = threshing, in Lk.— χρείαν ἔσχε καὶ ἐπείνασεν: another example of Mk.'s duality, intelligible only if hunger was the point of the story. The verbs are singular, because David ( αὐτὸς) is the hero, his followers in the background.
Mark 2:26. ἐπὶ ἀβιάθαρ ἀρ.: under A., a note of time, also implying his sanction: the sanction of a distinguished sacerdotal character = of Abiathar as priest. But Ahimelech was the priest then (1 Samuel 21:2 f.). Either a natural error arising from the close connection of David with Abiathar, the well-known high priest, or we must adopt one or other of the solutions proposed: father and son, Ahimelech and Abiathar, both bore both names (1 Samuel 22:20, 2 Samuel 8:17, 1 Chronicles 18:16)—so the Fathers; Abiathar, the son, Ahimelech's assistant at the time, and mentioned as the more notable as approving of the conduct of his own father and of David (Grotius); ἐπὶ taken in the sense it bears in Mark 12:26 ( ἐπὶ βάτου)—in the passage about Abiathar—not a satisfactory suggestion.
Mark 2:27. καὶ ἔλεγεν, etc., and He said to them; this phrase is employed to introduce a saying of Jesus containing a great principle. The principle is that the Sabbath is only a means towards an end—man's highest good. Strange that Mk. should have been allowed to have a monopoly of this great word! For this saying alone, and the parable of gradual growth (Mark 4:26-29), his Gospel was worth preserving.
Mark 2:28. ὥστε: wherefore, so then, introducing a thesis of co-ordinate importance, while an inference from the previous statement.— ὁ υἱὸς τ. α.: the Son of Man, as representing the human interest, as opposed to the falsely conceived divine interest championed by the Pharisees.— καὶ τ. σ., even of the Sabbath, so inviolable in your eyes. Lord, not to abolish but to interpret and keep in its own place, and give it a new name. No disparagement of Sabbath meant.

The Dark Horse Tavern is now open in former Junior's Hook location
New year, new bars! (Yes, we know we're more than a week into 2019 now, but give us a few more days with these sort of intros, will ya?)
Last fall, Milwaukee learned that Junior's Hook, which opened in Walker's Point in early 2015, would be closing. Owner Matthew Sherman recently stepped down as owner of the bar on 1517 S. Second Street, and Monica De Palma took over. De Palma—the owner of Monica's On Astor who was prominently featured as an example of effective bar ownership on the Nick House episode of Bar Rescue—planned to reopen this winter with a new name and new look.
That transition was completed recently, as Junior's Hook became The Dark Horse Tavern. Apparently, the bar quietly opened in late December, but it's fully operational now. Dark Horse follows Junior's Hook and The Parlor to become the third bar to open in the location since Bomb Shelter owner Greg Landig's passing resulted in the bar's closure in early 2012.
The Dark Horse Tavern is open 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. Tuesday through Friday and 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. Saturday through Monday. For more information on the newest Walker's Point watering hole, call them at 414-837-3016 or, better yet, stop by for a drink sometime.

I remember one day a few of us closing a show out and leaving Columbia and flying to Venezuela, Miami, Los Angeles, and then Tokyo. Getting to the hotel in the morning and thinking, "I can at least get some sleep" and being met in the lobby with the crew going off to work. They were all bright eyed and bushy tailed – we were utterly battered from the time on planes and the lack of any sleep. I don't' remember if I got through that day, or if I took any available moment to nap on road cases?
for whatever reason, I always get an earworm with the band Queensryche playing, "jet city woman." with such days.
Today I am suffering from some travel-Itis. I think the more significant portion of it is caused by trying to sleep, and my body just kind of shut down part of the way, but never really reached a space of deep sleep until an hour before I needed to wake up and get to work. It is simply groggy-brain-Itis. Not the really functioning at a high level, but it will perform enough to get through the day.
Today will be a sort of getting slammed in the head and make up a planned day for all that has to happen in a relatively short amount of time. A fascinating project to help another friend, of which, there are no handcuffs on in them having builders come in and screw up the structural integrity of the space. While it doesn't sound like much, the idea of actually being able to go do something and not have to go backward and fix something, to then get to space where one can do what one is good at…is actually appealing and appreciated.
There is nothing witty, fun, or exciting to write about today. Even fresh coffee is not helping that much. What I can say is a shower felt like a million dollars. It has me pondering some technology that might act as a brainwasher to reset circadian rhythms.
The last part is something we have pondered over the years with Augmnaity technologies. While I can help it, we are a long way from any cure for jet lag. Until then, having an earworm with the song jet city woman isn't all that bad.
Have a great day. Wish me well in the act to focus and concentrate today!
As for worst travel day(s) – I think the record was 49 ½ hours when someone at corporate forgot to si Paris, flew to Philadelphia, Los Angeles, to Hong Kong. There we learned "corporate" didn't think they had to confirm any reservations to get us to Manilla during the Christmas mad travel rush in Asia. Yes, they flew us west. The irony is that it wasn't until a few years ago that I did the eastern section and smiled in that I finally actually circumnavigated the entire globe.
